[00:00] p_res, thats good to know...Thas why i was not allocating more memory to VB's gues OS [00:00] guest [00:00] shcherbak: hmm remember you told me gnome-panel --replace ? [00:00] DarkStar1, I don't understand exactly what you mean by resolve to a subdomain on the chosen one [00:00] induz: Yeah I generally don't run anything else whilst using a VM. [00:00] that gave some assertation errors, when i closed terminal my applets all died again [00:00] Only irc! [00:00] induz: check the requirements of the apps you want to run, not sure about mso but some require more memory [00:00] shcherbak: are those names identical to the ones of the packages? or would I have to match them to the package in question? [00:00] Hey Guys, Do you know how to gain administrator access on a network with just a thin client? [00:01] DarkStar1, this is more of an architecture question then an ubuntu os one [00:01] ignarps: basically each web app runs on it's own VM with it's own domain name. I need to consolidate them under one domain [00:01] DarkStar1: check #httpd [00:01] BlaDe^, use "gnome-panel --replace & disown" [00:01] goltoof: I asked but got nowhere. [00:01] hello, anyone can tell me how can I install pydev in eclipe on ubuntu 10.10. I have been reading some websites with suggestions but it seems that such info is not up to date [00:02] DarkStar1: why have a web app run on a VM?? sounds horrible [00:02] goltoof, thnaks for suggestions i will check before installing anything on Vbox [00:02] goltoof: Well a virtual server. [00:02] BlaDe^, then you can close the terminal === Hekos is now known as hekos [00:03] goltoof: but in any case it's an inherited problem which I have to manage pending redevelopment [00:03] that worked and restored my originals, rumpe1 which is great [00:03] but it also said: Unable to open desktop file /home/martin/Desktop/gnome-terminal.desktop for panel launcher: No such file or directory [00:03] is that an issue? [00:03] tried winehq but not a friendly bunch in there, 120 people in the room and no one talks to each other === charles is now known as Guest88582 [00:04] DarkStar1, there is multiple way to tackle that. But that question is more of an overall design question. not about ubuntu OS [00:04] does anyone here have any experience with wine ? [00:04] is there a way to zoom out the screen slightly on the Nvidia drivers? the bottom of my screen(taskbar) is almost hidden [00:04] DarkStar1, modproxy mod jk are used for java web apps. You could look down that route [00:04] the proprietary ones i mean not nouveau [00:04] kaddi_: and this /var/lib/dpkg/status [00:05] ryan, cant you adjust monitor settings (like the physical monitor buttons)? [00:05] BlaDe^, doesnt sound dramatic [00:05] kaddi_: scroll down to ready script http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1356841 [00:05] ignarps: Ye I know. but I need an opinion as to a way of quickly resolving this. It was suggested that I use apache to re-direct to the right servers, but anther person said that was overly complicated [00:05] induz: Where is your install up to? [00:05] Can anyone who used minitube tell me if time slider should work with it? [00:05] DarkStar1, mod rewrite is pretty easy to use in apache if that is all you need [00:05] anyone know if theres a way to have a different wallpaper on each of my monitors? [00:06] Hi all, does anyone know what I cant start urbanterror on my pc when it gives following error "Initializing OpenGL display [00:06] ignarps: but do you know if having the providers configure their DNS server to resolve the naming on our behalf would be easier?

[00:06] however, other 3d games work without problem (tremulous) [00:06] luxurymode: the sky is the limit :P [00:06] luxurymode: only way i could do figure out how to do it, is create an image that has the two wallpapers i want side by side, and use that "one image".. for my wallpaper [00:06] well netstat -tulp gives me the pid so i could kick it but is there no other way? i know what application is running (gearman) but im looking for something like gearman stop [00:07] DarkStar1, again I don't know the exact issue and what the needs are. Is it easier to do etc... is all relative. What is easy for me may not be easy for someone else [00:07] KM0201: cool. yeah i want cheat sheets as my wallpaper ;) [00:07] ola [00:07] ignarps: I only started reading about Apache today. Never had to use it before. but can you give me a quick brief of what that mod does??

[00:07] ignarps: mind if I explain it to yo in private chat? [00:07] KM0201: gimp? [00:08] luxurymode: it was actually pretty easy, just make sure you make the "width" the same resolution as the width of the two displays [00:08] which should I backup. /usr or /var? which ones more important? [00:08] p_res, some reason it keeps crashing on me when i start it up [00:08] DarkStar1, not sure I want to go down the road of PM support in a channel with 1400 people [00:08] ryan_: I dont know then, I dont see anything to do it in nvidia settings here :S [00:08] RealOpty: Or AcidRip [00:08] DarkStar1, I do have a real job too :) [00:08] . [00:08] luxurymode: yeah, i used gimp, then created a new image(25xx by 1024)... then copy/pasted the images i wanted, into that image, and moved them into place.. [00:08] ignarps: I just need your opinion dude. For that I need you to understand the problem [00:08] kaddi_: Now I will spend some time to getting more familiar with apt, such incompetence of mine. [00:08] luxurymode: you do it right, you won't even be able to tell. [00:09] DarkStar1, okay you can pm me and I will see [00:09] ignarps: but I understand [00:09] p_res, that one always errors :( [00:09] RealOpty: Then you have other issues. [00:09] thats what she said [00:09] I am mainly here to give back to ubuntu a bit. seeing I use them so much [00:09] I use AcidRip personally, with no dramas. [00:10] wanna pastebin ur config? [00:10] shcherbak: I think I'll have to do the chroot thing too, just to know what happens once you do it.. :) Thanks for the many alternatives though :) [00:10] RealOpty: What config? Just installed it and run it. [00:10] ks07: yeah it's weird because when i was using an ATi card you could sort of move the screen about in Catalyst.

I tried disabling the driver over ssh using jockey-text (I installed it with jockey-gtk) but I still get nothing on the display. Looking in dmesg I saw some messages from vga16fb where it trie [00:16] d to initialized but quit, so I blacklisted the module, and now I see only uvesafb messing with the framebuffer. Currently, the only thing that works is plymouth: when the machine gets to where the console would appear, the screen merely flickers and turns black, with a dark maroon border. [00:16] yxz97: you can always play with gparted live cd [00:16] luxurymode: if all else fails, click on 'file' [00:16] luxurymode: lol [00:16] Yeah but its inside a virtual machine [00:16] I should need first grow the size of the virtual disk and later, grow the size "internally" ..

[00:24] How should I troubleshoot corruption in my ecryptfs filesystem? On Ubuntu 10.4, I set up encrypted home dir with auto-mount upon login using the Ubuntu i386 alt installer. No problem for months of heavy usage, then misc errors led me to find corrupted gconfd configuration files (control characters strewn about) and kernel error messages (samples at ). These messages are logged when I read from the filesystem (only some p [00:24] arts) but are not logged when I'm not accessing the filesystem. I've tried booting into an older kernel (I'm using 2.6.32-27), booting from a 10.10 live disc & mounting the encrypted fs, skimmed the ecryptfs FAQ, searched the Web for the error messages & relevant keywords, mailed the ecryptfs-users list, and mailed a local Linux users list.

[00:26] whoa [00:26] you can test the alpha release. 11.04 will be out april 2011 [00:26] razieliyo: no, for future reference (this holds consisten so far) 11 = 2011 0.4 = 4th month [00:26] Can somebody help me?

[00:27] im looking for a server amd64 version [00:27] !mini | dogmeat [00:27] dogmeat: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [00:27] by the way, I didn't know versions meant that [00:27] the year and the month [00:28] dogmeat, there is a server addition and a mini iso image that will pull packages from a mirror [00:28] how can i inrease the size of Xp screen on Vbox?

You've been the best help so far [00:29] induz: you have to install that on the GUEST, not the Host. [00:29] w1n5ton0, nm-applet [00:30] w1n5ton0, but you should listen rww [00:30] now If you will all excuse me. I need to go poison the sewers :) [00:30] Whats up all. I have a question about installing ubuntu as a dualboot with windows. I already installed windows and made extra partitions. (ext2, ext3 for other Linux distros) it's now asking me to specify a root file system. How do I do that particularly? I'm a newb sorry [00:30] An instance of nm-applet is already running [00:30] KM0201, I have alreday installed Xp as gues [00:30] w1n5ton0, you're f*ckd [00:30] DarkStar1, you are welcome. Glad I could give back to the community [00:30] cp2_4eva: it's basically asking you to specify where you want your C:\ drive [00:30] I'm trying to fix nautilus [00:30] w1n5ton0: Again, your issue is not supported in this channel. The correct answer to your question as far as we're concerned is "don't log in as root then". [00:31] induz: i understand that.. you have to install guest additions on the guest, in order to increase the screen size [00:31] I can't log in as anyone BUT root [00:31] w1n5ton0, what happens to your nautilus? [00:31] w1n5ton0: Why? [00:31] lol [00:31] It says cannot find .nautilus or something [00:31] lemme check again [00:31] KM0201, How can i get that? [00:31] cp2_4eva: Oh filesystem... it's asking you to choose the format of your filesystem... so chose either ext3 or 4 [00:31] sudo aptitude install nautilus? [00:31] induz: do you have XP open now? [00:32] I try to log in an get the following: [00:32] shcherbak: could I take up your time one more time? I'm going through the chroot steps now, just so I've done it once. And everything works fine until I try to write the output to a file. Then it tells me it's a read-only file system and stops. Do you have an idea what the issue might be? [00:32] yes [00:32] KM0201, yes Xp is running on Vb [00:32] induz: go to .. i think its devices menu/install guest additions... if its not the devices menu, its one of the menus [00:32] Could not update ICEauthority file /home/user/.ICEauthority [00:33] hey guys, i've recently build both vlc and ffmpeg from source just how I like them, is there an easy way now to create a .deb of them that will also pack together all of the dependencies? [00:34] KM0201, I have installed guest addition now what?/ [00:34] w1n5ton0, maybe you're not the owner of that file [00:34] Then is says There is a problem with the configuration server. (/usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) [00:34] induz: after it installs, reboot the guest... then adjust your window size, click machine, and "adjust window size" [00:34] induz: but make sure it installs. [00:34] w1n5ton0: See the second and third posts in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=949750 [00:35] that should be common issues [00:35] And finally: Nautilus could not create the following required folders:/home/user/Desktop, /home/user/.nautilus [00:35] KM0201, I adjusted window size to full screen but still Xp is a bit smaller and lots of space is free on sides [00:35] induz: did you listen to a word i said? [00:36] w1n5ton0: ah. did you run "sudo nautilus" or "sudo startx" at some point? that's what usually causes that much permissions mess. [00:36] Before running Nautilus, please create these folders, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create them. [00:36] I use ecryptfs [00:36] My stupid brother turned off the password login requirement [00:36] KM0201, yes I rebooted also [00:37] kill him [00:37] induz: did guest additions install? [00:37] I think my home folder in not being decrypted properly [00:37] w1n5ton0: hrm, different issue from above, then. *ponders* [00:37] Ubuntu. I can't get it to play dvds through my external dvd player. Any ideas? [00:37] induz: it doesn't install in 3 freaking seconds, so you likely got impatient and didn't install it [00:37] KM0201, yes...now I pulled the corner[re-size] the Xp and its Ok now [00:37] How do I start ubuntu in cli? [00:37] induz: ok [00:37] I have an idea [00:38] I need to start in command line [00:38] w1n5ton0, you can do alt+ctrl+F1 [00:38] goltoof, unistalling with complete removal turned a lot of entries in synaptic red - what does that mean?

[00:38] w1n5ton0, from F1 to F6 you have ttys [00:38] F7 is the X system [00:38] ctrl+alt+F# [00:39] induz: depending on which versin of Vbox you installed, it may not have USB support... did you investigate this at all before you installed? [00:39] how do I check the status of the rf switches? [00:39] intrader: red usually stands for packages marked for complete removal [00:40] its VB 3.2.12 [00:40] how do i make the system stop logging to /var/log/syslog, and only to messages? [00:40] wihtout killing rsyslogd [00:40] KM0201, its Vbox 3.2.12 [00:40] shcherbak: nvm, looks like i've managed to locate the bad sectors and that's what was causing the issues [00:40] induz: ok, so you downloaded the version from virtualbox.org? [00:41] km..i guess yes [00:41] .. [00:41] KM0201, i updated the ubuntu too just few hrs back [00:41] aeon-ltd, thanks, is it safe? [00:42] induz: is the usb drive showing up on your desktop(ubuntu) [00:42] is virtualbox some kind of os emulator? [00:42] KM0201, yes i can see that USB on Ubuntu [00:43] razieliyo: sort of... === breadcrumb_ is now known as breadcrumb [00:43] I see [00:44] so startx won't work [00:44] razieliyo, this might help, not sure I use it so haven't read this link.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox [00:44] intrader: if those pkgs aren't depended on and if you don't use them [00:44] *I [00:45] nit-wit, I just went to their official webpage [00:46] razieliyo, cool it is a interesting thang there are other types of virtual machines. [00:46] Does anyone here know how to fix GRUB 2 so an encrypted filesystem is recognized? After updating my kernels, I've been getting an error saying that the lvm device name doesn't begin with /dev/mapper, and I can't enter the GRUB menu to select a different kernel because it gives me a udevadm error. [00:46] I really never liked virtual machines [00:47] SUCCESS [00:47] potiphera, first step would be to boot of a rescue cd [00:47] how can i clone an sd card into an img? [00:47] w1n5ton0, congratulations hahaha [00:47] Thank you thank you [00:47] ignarps, what do you mean by a rescue CD? I am using a live CD right now. [00:47] barf_barf, use dd [00:47] barf_barf, or mkisofs? [00:48] potiphera, sorry I have not used enrypted volumes with grub [00:48] potiphera, whats the problem I just signed on and missed the backstory [00:48] w1n5ton0, it's great to find out the solution [00:48] w1n5ton0, what did you do at least? [00:48] potiphera, I get it the encryption sorry [00:49] logged into cli [00:49] aeon-ltd, thanks, I will go ahead with the uninstall to see if 'beam' disappears. [00:49] w1n5ton0, linux power [00:49] Yeah, I have a forum thread that goes into more detail here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631203 [00:49] Mounted my home folder manually [00:49] Then started xwindow and changed the password setings [00:49] I have an Imation Disk Stakka, and when I plug it into 2.6.35-23 box, while it remains plugged in I get reported over and over in dmesg: usb 2-5.2: new low speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13, usb 2-5.2: USB disconnect, address 13, and then it goes to address 13, 14, 15 and so on, never stops....any way to solve this? [00:49] why my USB drive is not getting recog on Vbox with Xp as guest [00:49] not complicated [00:50] I think the problem may be caused by having several different kernels installed, like the preempt [00:50] intrader: good luck i suppose [00:50] and I am open to removing them all except for the generic, if I can find out how to do that from a live CD. [00:51] induz: vbox support for usb is only available in the PUL version on their site with the additional package listed there.. even then you'll have to read the docs to get your user to access that feature.. not hard though. [00:51] Scunizi, what is PUL version?? [00:52] potiphera, you should be able to have as many kernels as you like. Do you have your filesystem mounted from the live cd? [00:52] ignarp, not at the moment, but I can mount it, just a minute. [00:53] potiphera, I don't think having too many kernels is the issue. but once mounted you can do this. chroot /mnt [00:53] potiphera, you can then run commands like the system was booted up normally. ie use apt-get to add/remove stuff [00:53] induz: the one direct from their site [00:55] Yeah, I was able to get that far the other day [00:55] and I tried update-grub, reinstalling GRUB, and update-initramfs [00:55] can you connect to and control Ubuntu remotely with the Windows RDP client? or do you have to use something like ultravnc? [00:55] but none of those worked. [00:58] breadcrumb, you have to use something like vnc [00:58] potiphera, are you trying to reinstall grub from a live cd? [00:58] I have another question :) [00:59] The problem occurred previously after a kernel update, and what seemed to cause it was that GRUB still had the old kernel selected as the default, so I just selected a different kernel in the menu, and then used startupmanager to change the default, but now I can't enter the GRUB menu when starting because of an error saying "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured." [00:59] When I try and launch an executable... it says "There is no application installed for executable files" It is not an Windows executable btw [00:59] roccity_, yeah, I might be, if that is what will work [01:00] although I did reinstall GRUB already after a chroot to my encrypted filesystem (mounted with exactly the same hexadecimal name as it is given in GRUB normally), and that didn't work. [01:00] potiphera, how many partitions do you have? [01:01] When I try and launch an executable... it says "There is no application installed for executable files" It is not an Windows executable btw [01:01] oops [01:01] how do i install packages from command line? is it apt-get/apt-cache search and so on? [01:01] roccity_, on that hard drive there are three listed. [01:02] What application do I install for executable files? [01:02] One is the boot partition, one is the encrypted partition (which takes up most of the hard drive), and the other has the same size as the encrypted partition? [01:02] Scunizi, I am on thier website vb.org but i dont see any updates for me [01:02] And after all this network manager suddenly starts working [01:02] How can i get Vbox 4.1 [01:03] induz: just go and download it from Ubuntu Software Center [01:03] potiphera, ok from a live cd you need to mount all of them. I followed this today to reinstall grub https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub [01:04] potiphera, just scroll to the part about reinstalling grub [01:04] hi. what causes an ethernet device to take a number like eth3 when my other adapter is eth0? [01:04] When I try and launch an executable... it says "There is no application installed for executable files" It is not an Windows executable btw [01:04] PsPhaKeR1, file what is the output of that? [01:05] from the terminal [01:05] Could not display "/home/jarid/Desktop/unself" [01:05] There is no application installed for executable files [01:05] PsPhaKeR1: how are you trying to launch the executable? and what is the file name of the executable? [01:06] double-click [01:06] :) [01:06] how else? [01:06] PsPhaKeR1: what's the file name? [01:06] unself [01:06] It is a programmer tool [01:06] i have installed nvidia drivers and every time i reboot it changes back to 800 X 600 resolution help me [01:06] PsPhaKeR1, open a terminal and run it with sh /home/jarid/Desktop/unself [01:06] i have installed openSSH, how can i create and remote users to connect? [01:06] PsPhaKeR1: from cli cd to the directory containing that program and try ./ [01:07] or that [01:07] ok [01:07] i have installed nvidia drivers and every time i reboot it changes back to 800 X 600 resolution help me [01:07] bash: ./unself: Permission denied [01:07] PsPhaKeR1: sudo chmod +x unself [01:07] ok [01:07] guys what are the voice changer softwares in ubuntu ? [01:08] PsPhaKeR1: then retry sh or ./ [01:08] what do you mean by sh? [01:08] So, upgrading some _old_ hardware to 10.04. Is i586 still supported there? Because the kernel just reboots. No screen, nothing. Grub is apparently working enough to launch memtest... [01:08] PsPhaKeR1: depending on what the tool does, maybe have to sudo it, too [01:08] PsPhaKeR1: see above comment [01:09] i have installed nvidia drivers and every time i reboot it changes back to 800 X 600 resolution any solution [01:09] roccity_, I followed the instructions for reinstalling Grub through chroot yesterday, and the only difference is that I didn't mount the other partition besides the boot and the encrypted root partition (I am not sure what the purpose of that one is, or where I should be mounting it to) [01:09] but wait, I just noticed something else as well. [01:09] SanityInAnarchy: yes, specs ? [01:10] cyberjunk502: sudo nvidia-settings, set and save there [01:10] any voice changer software for ubuntu PLEASE ? [01:10] PsPhaKeR1, is it going to affect my Xp on Vbox 3.1.12 [01:11] daxt: you mean a live voice changer?, audacity can change your voice but not dynamically [01:11] i need a live voice changer [01:12] SanityInAnarchy:more specs on htat box you want to set up ? [01:12] daxt: Try searching for "morphvox" [01:13] I need to type in English, Spanish, and Japanese at different times. I have UIM/SCIM set up right now to allow switching between JP/EN. I was given a small USB Spanish keyboard to make typing accent marks and Spanish characters quicker. How can I configure/add Spanish keyboard support to my SCIM setup? [01:13] morphvox isnt open source :( [01:13] The other day I followed the instructions in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1567147 saying to update-initramfs to get rid of the Grub error telling me "udevadm trigger is not permitted while udev is unconfigured." But update-initramfs gave me an error saying "cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab -". Now I noticed that when I installed lvm2 on this live CD to mount my encrypted partition, it te [01:13] DasEi: i have done it but doesn't work [01:14] PsPhaKeR1, what is VirtualBOx OSE?? [01:14] cyberjunk502: did you save your setting (must be run as root) ? [01:15] induz: a reduced clone , available from standard repo [01:15] daxt: Audacity seems to be the alternative [01:15] DasEi: yes i have done it as root [01:15] but does it change live ? [01:16] DasEi, I have already Vbox 3.2.12 installed and Xp is running on it [01:16] daxt: I have no clue, I don't use such software myself [01:16] DasEi: any other solution [01:16] How can i upgrade from 3.2.12 Vbox to 4 [01:16] induz: first remove existing one, then re-check repo, then get 4, had to do same here === 77CAAKIOY is now known as Abhish [01:17] cyberjunk502: you can also set it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:17] !resolution [01:17] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [01:18] hey guys, what rewrites fstab on boot? [01:18] rslifka: nothing [01:18] hrm [01:18] DasEi, on thier website they say To install VirtualBox, do [01:18] sudo apt-get update [01:18] sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.0 [01:18] using the 10.04 LTS EC2 image, and after I reboot, the fstab is changed back [01:19] but when i do the above command it says coulnot find packages [01:19] not really sure how it's getting changed [01:19] audacity also does not do live processing either :( [01:19] induz: no, you first uninstall your 3xx, then add the right repo, then just sudo apt-install VirtualBox (case-sensitiv!!) [01:20] induz: need help in the repo ? uninstall is on VB's homepage, FAQ [01:21] rslifka: you speak of the live cd ? [01:21] daxt: interesting... use any windows sw for that? [01:21] how can i enable vnc access? [01:21] DasEi: the official ubuntu AMI for EC2 [01:21] http://perlbox.sourceforge.net/ [01:21] is there a ubuntu disc that will allow you to install more programs? or is that the dvd? [01:21] * centHOGG really into vstees once [01:22] paq7512: the dvd contains more, but common is to use the web [01:22] paq7512, dvd or... better... any /var/cache/apt/archive-directory from any other ubuntu with the same version [01:22] daxt: For live processing, try Pure Data. If it's hard to understand, you can try posting at http://puredata.hurleur.com/ [01:22] most of the extra bulk on the DVD is 1) language packs, and 2) a usable repository a la alternate CD [01:23] DasEi, i dont see uninstall on FAQ?? [01:23] potiphera thanks [01:23] induz: did you install from the repo ? [01:23] induz, have you installed the .deb? Look in your ṕackage-manager and deinstall it from there [01:24] is var like system32? [01:24] hello [01:24] paq7512, look "man hier" in terminal... there is every directory with explanation [01:24] induz: virtualbox 4.0 is very very buggy, i wouldnt install that unless you have an exact reason to [01:24] equivoc: Hiya! [01:25] paq7512, /var This directory contains files which may change in size, such as spool and log files. [01:25] ok, i have vnc setup, but i dont see how to require ssh? where can i enable that option? [01:25] KM0201: o/ indy fan huh [01:25] DasEi: Not sure.

Non-PAE doesn't reboot [01:25] I'm using dd to backup my hd , do i use the root of it /dev/sd or /dev/sdb1 ?

[01:26] but the drive i not mounted [01:26] *is [01:26] rumpe1: I need both of those il use sd [01:26] induz: version 4 is EXTREMELY buggy.. you shouldn't need to upgrade to version 4 to get usb to work...

[02:03] razieliyo: I mean, how do I use it as the terminal bell and make it beep when someone hilights me on irssi [02:03] @Dark_Spyro_003: Windows 7 [02:03] ubuntu4shane: nothing on printque or anything [02:03] razieliyo: sorry if I wasn't clear [02:03] Rogueboy: have you entered the correct DNS? [02:03] cntrational, you were, but I really don't know how to do that, sorry! [02:04] Ograws: Using the 10.10 liveCD ? [02:04] ubuntu4shane: I see all my jobs that successfuly printed [02:04] razieliyo: oh, okay [02:04] Braber01: I've never used the netbook edition, couldn't say. [02:04] @anyman99008 it was autofind [02:04] cntrational, did you google? [02:04] ecinx: when you hit file -> print do you select the printer? There should be a box to specify what printer you are printing to. [02:04] @Dark_Spyro_003: Yes 10.10 [02:04] ubuntu4shane: it's at the correct printer by default [02:05] Ograws: Well I wouldn't have a clue, installed it here yesterday side-by-side with my Windows 7. Is Windows' Bootmg on the same partition as the installation? [02:05] Bootmgr* [02:05] ecinx: hmm, that is odd, I would check in #kubuntu I've been tinkering with KDE, but I'm by no means a kde expert, that should print though, mind does. [02:05] ecinx: and I have a default install, nothing super fancy. [02:05] @Dark_Spyro_003: Don't think so I am trying to install Ubuntu on E: [02:05] DasEi, i finally got that VNC over SSH working using the default remote desktop in ubuntu. looks like i just needed to create a tunnel in putty on windows. thanks! [02:05] ecinx: type: /join #kubuntu to get to the kubuntu channel [02:06] Ograws: Have you tried to configure the partitioning yourself? (advanced) [02:06] ubuntu4shane: I already asked there no one active knows [02:06] kovid nice to hear [02:06] Ograws, it's not as hard as it should sound [02:06] @Dark_Spyro_003: Don't know how to do that you mind walking me through plz? [02:06] ecinx: I guess if I had clicked over there I would have figured that out! :) [02:07] Braber01: you should be able to just select latin/hiragana/katakana from the floating language bar, or configure hotkeys with /usr/lib/ibus-anthy/ibus-setup-anthy [02:07] ubuntu4shane: that's okay [02:07] Ograws: Your E: disk is a blank partition or free space, right? [02:07] @razieliyo: I am trying to delete E: and make it C; so that Windows and Ubuntu is side by side [02:07] anyone know how to call the login manager setting dialog by hand again? [02:07] @anyman9908 so I'm in the network area, do I go to create new wireless Network? or can I just select mine that's already found? [02:07] @Dark_Spyro_003: It has nothing in it and no I havn't made it free space [02:07] ecinx: sorry, wish I could be of more help, just don't know that much about KDE, you can install adobe acrobat reader if you would like and then print pdf [02:08] ecinx: also pdf files can be printed with command line using: lpr file.pdf [02:08] ecinx: I'm 99% sure that automagically prints on default printer [02:08] must iptables be enabled (/etc/init.d/iptables start) somewhere, or can i just write rules and they work? [02:09] Ograws: You could just shrink the E: partition by 1GB, use that as swap, then set the E: itself as the system disk (/) and use a filesystem like ext4 on it, if you mean to install ubuntu onto the E: drive that is [02:09] Ograws, forget about letters when you're in linux [02:09] ubuntu4shane: i noticed in kate i put print pages 1-2 and it prints all [02:09] @Dark_Spyro_002: Sounds hard to do is it done on Windows or during installing Ubuntu? [02:10] ecinx: sounds like perhaps the printer needs a different driver, what type of printer is it? [02:10] Ograws: You can do this during linux installation and it is really straightforward. Do you by any chance have a laptop with you to keep contact if you need help? === RobotCow is now known as squashed|bug [02:10] @razieliyo: What do I call them then? [02:10] I just found out about a bug in anthy (m17) apperently I can use the function keys to switch to Katkana but it's not working :( [02:10] the driver din't match [02:10] it's brother 4040CDN [02:10] ecinx: hmm, you probably need to re-setup the printer then [02:10] Ograws: The hard drives get names like sda and sdb, and the partitions on their turn would be sda1, sda2, sdb1, sdb2, ... [02:10] No I have an iMac and my PC is upstairs [02:11] Ograws, well, linux uses just a root filesystem === mpm is now known as pearlbear [02:11] you can make partitions for each directory in the filesystem [02:11] ecinx: I'm also not very familiar with Brother printers, I only do HP, as they opened their drivers to Linux, or released them or something like that [02:11] for example, home, usr, etc [02:11] @razielyo: Which one do i choose ''/'' ''/home''? [02:11] HP's home printers suck [02:12] Ograws, now that you're starting, choose / [02:12] when it asks you about mounting point [02:12] Ograws: you'd put the / on the partition you want to install the ubuntu system on [02:12] then, you should be watching your windows partition [02:12] @razieliyo: Yeah thats what it says over those options, thanks Dark_Spyro_003 [02:12] their business line may be another story though [02:12] you can select a mounting point to mount your windows partition [02:13] hi guys, does anyone know if there is yahoo messenger for ubuntu? [02:13] @Dark_Spyro_003: Which sda is windows I have 4? [02:13] for example, /windows or /media/windows or /mnt/windows or whatever you want [02:13] r00t4rd3d, thanks :D [02:13] Braber01: that could be your problem, I don't use the m17n anthy [02:13] i want to use yahoo msg for ubuntu, does anyone know how? [02:13] @razieilyo: I see /dos [02:13] does anyone know how to call the login manager setting dialog by hand again? [02:13] Ograws, that should work [02:13] Phong_: either empathy or pidgin will work with yahoo [02:13] Phong_, does it have to be yahoo-msg? [02:14] @Dark_Spyro_003: I mean which one would be E: [02:14] trism: the regular anthy wan't an option for me... [02:14] Ograws, do you see any NTFS partition? [02:14] Braber01: did you install the Japanese input methods in System/Administration/Language Support? [02:14] that is your windows partition [02:14] if you have more partitions, they maybe ntfs too [02:14] @razieliyo: Yes all 4 SDAs are in NTFS format === jacob_ is now known as Guest72107 [02:15] trism: no i did not could you walk me through that in a PM please? === Guest72107 is now known as jaboc [02:15] so, Ograws, you have 4 win partitions? [02:15] Phong_: in either you will need to setup your account and then put in the username and password, pretty easy, I use it regularly [02:15] @razieliyo: lol yes how do I change that? [02:15] hahaha [02:15] ubuntu4shane, is it trustful with empathy? [02:15] well, do you really want to delete them? [02:15] Ograws : The only way I know to figure it out is to look at the sizes of the different partitions, if they're not the same size [02:16] @razieliyo: No well maybe to of them that are called :D and have less than 1Gb of memory in them === Huang is now known as GodKiller === GodKiller is now known as huangg [02:16] Phong_: yes, I believe so, I have used it for a long time, I use pidgin nowdays, but used empathy too with yahoo, never had a problem with either. [02:16] Ograws, delete them all === jacob__ is now known as jaboc [02:16] Ograws, anyway, if you want to use windows and ubuntu, I think you should install windows first [02:16] @raziliyo: All partitons? Even C: with Windows [02:17] Braber01: it is really simple, just run System/Administration/Language Support, click Install/Remove Languages, scroll down to Japanese, and check all the boxes (Translations, Input Methods, Extra Fonts), and click apply [02:17] well, if you have already installed windows, you don't have to [02:17] is anybody else having issues connecting to aim with empathy? I'm on ubuntu 10.04 and get "disconnected authentication failed." [02:17] you can identify your windows partition by the size [02:17] do you remember how much size had your win partition? [02:17] trism: thank you now the thins isn't responding, I wasted to much time playing final fantasy, Tatics Advanced today :( [02:18] @razieliyo: about 40Gb out of 80Gb (the rest is for ubuntu and some for free space) [02:18] Ograws: I'd say to abort ubuntu installation, then look at the different partition sizes and note them down in windows, then start the ubuntu install again and by the size you can tell which drive letter is which partition [02:18] Braber01: after that in System/Preferences/Ibus Preferences, on the Input Method tab, there should be a new Anthy option with a crown next to it [02:18] @Dark_Spyro_003: I thought u were gone! SDA 3 is the same size as my E: where i wanna put linux on [02:19] well, I'm leaving [02:19] good nite [02:19] bye! [02:19] @razieliyo: BYE Thanks for the help [02:19] Ograws: you should put all other partitions to "unused" and then put SDA3 to format to ext4 and mount it to / - then you might want to use one or both of the very small (less than 1GB) partitions and use them as "SWAP" [02:19] does anyone know why GtkEntryCompletion doesn't work when I use gtk_entry_set_text(...) to set the Entry's text? I'm trying to begin pre-population and suggestion listing for the user and I can't seem to get it to work. [02:19] Ograws: And sorry for my late reply =P [02:20] @Dark-Spyro_003: What is SWAP for? [02:20] @Dark_Spyro_003: Its okay ;-) [02:20] Ograws: it's like the windows swapfile on disk [02:20] !swap | Ograws [02:20] Ograws: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [02:20] @Dark_Spyro_003: Don't even know what swapfile is lol mor einfo plz [02:21] Ograws: Virtual RAM space on the hard drive [02:21] I have to go bye [02:21] Braber01: if it really isn't responding, you might just need to: sudo apt-get install ibus-anthy, the m17n anthy is probably part of ibus-m17n [02:21] Ograws: Allright, bye [02:21] Sorry its 2am in the morning [02:21] lol [02:21] nick jaboc [02:21] is anybody connecting to AIM with empathy on ubuntu 10.04 at the moment? [02:23] trism: how can I install the japan language support stuff from the command line? [02:24] hello all! [02:25] lizhi: Hello! [02:25] irc.noobest.com [02:25] Braber01: the command line program: check-language-support -l ja; will show you the packages you still need to install, and you can sudo apt-get install them [02:26] use nginx for proxy,if i use outside network ip address ,the nginx tell 504 error. [02:26] code, why are you posting a link [02:26] Braber01: mostly you should just need language-support-input-ja or just ibus-anthy [02:26] Braber01: but having the fonts and translations are useful too [02:27] hi all [02:27] is there a building a ubuntu kernel howto (trying to patch a kernel bug) [02:27] hi, i had a nvidia card with nvidia drivers installed on my ubuntu 10.04 machine, i now removed the nvidia card and inserted ati card, how can i tell ubuntu to use the opensource ati drivers for it? beacuse when i try to run glxgears it say it doesnt have gl support... === GodKiller is now known as huangg === andrew_ is now known as Guest39722 [02:28] squigle: There's a bunch of stuff under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel that might be handy. [02:28] thx rww [02:30] #nginx [02:30] how can i move a file over 4gb to as fat 32 part ? [02:31] barf_barf: You don't [02:31] barf_barf: you can't. FAT32 filesystems aren't capable of holding files greater than 4GB. [02:31] barf_barf: You could try the 'split' command to split one into several under-4GB files, but that might get messy. [02:32] rww: can i move the file in parts and re-assemble on the fat 32 part ? [02:32] nope [02:32] barf_barf: Alternatively you can format the filesystem to one that does hold files that large [02:32] barf_barf: no, because then the reassembled file would be over 4GB, and you can't have files over 4GB... [02:33] when I do rfkills list all I get just the bluetooth and the wifi, but I should get the 3G modem as well, anyone know how I can activate rfswitches for that as well? [02:34] Anyone that can help with an odd Mouse Problem? It stops allowing me to click on occasion. [02:34] hey, i posted a question here: http://askubuntu.com/q/20405/8478 [02:35] I have to right click on a terminal to get my mouse to work again on all windows. [02:35] Very strange [02:36] hanzhaq: doesn't surprise me. gnome-panel is rather bad at vertical panel layouts :( [02:36] anyone know of a WBFS tool to convert iso's for wii? [02:36] as are indicator applets :( [02:36] lipinski: Is this a persistent problem? Does it happen after reboot? === fccf is now known as GeekSquid [02:36] Chottis: Today was the first time ever. I rebooted and that cleared it up. Now it returned. [02:37] I Went most of today without any problem. But, then once it starts, I can't get out of it. [02:37] !pm | hanzhaq [02:37] hanzhaq: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [02:38] hanzhaq: and no, I don't think there is a way to drag it out. I don't have GNOME handy to test it though, so I could be wrong. [02:38] rww: so there is no way to drag the calender panel out? [02:38] lipinski: What applications have you been running today? [02:38] !wbfs | barf_barf [02:39] lipinski: Is it still a problem after unplugging the mouse and plugging it in again? [02:39] hanzhaq: On your task bar, is there a button for that application? If so, can you right click, select move, then move the window with arrow keys? [02:39] Chottis: usual stuff - Firefox, Eclipse, Evolution Mail [02:39] Chottis: I'll try unplugging the mouse [02:40] lipinski: no, the cal panel is activated after clicking Clock panel === squashed|bug is now known as RobotCow [02:40] Chottis: unplugging the mouse no help. [02:41] I think it's something with X11. Like once a window is active, I can't switch to another. I have to right click on the Active window, then I can select a different window. About 5 sec later, same thing. [02:41] hello everyone [02:42] Right now - I wasn't able to move this chat window, or select my Firefox window. I then had to right click on this chat window, and not select anything from the dialog. Then mouse was normal for a few sec. [02:42] I haven't been in fstab for a while I guess, it looks like gibberish. I need to mount /dev/sdc1, an ntfs partition, to /blah at boot. [02:42] so any solution to my question http://askubuntu.com/q/20405/8478 ? [02:43] craigbass1976: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /etc/fstab [02:43] Question, how do I copy the log from the synaptic changes applied window? [02:43] hanzhack: ask it in here for us. [02:43] DasEi, what are those? [02:43] lipinski: I'm not really sure how to help. Did you run Update Manager recently (Past week maybe)? Maybe it's an update causing the problem. [02:43] craigbass1976: spills an url of your fstab to look at here [02:43] My power off symbol doesn't show the menu. it just seems to be static. when i hover over it highlights but only brings up the menu next to it related to chat accounts [02:44] Chottis: I updated to Meerkat a few weeks ago. But, I was fine for a while. Just started today... I initially thought Compiz, but I have that off [02:44] oh, i found a solution: remove the panel and add it again will get the cal panel in the screen [02:44] hanzhack: ok. [02:44] ok i just deleted the panel [02:44] but i can't see option to readd it [02:44] Right now, I can't even select anything. I'm stuck in this chat window. I can't close, minimize, select a different window/app, nothing. [02:45] Alt-Tab works, though [02:45] um ok i readded it but everything is gone? [02:45] but all my preference setting is lost. i have to reset the locations... [02:45] how did you do that [02:45] Chottis: Actually, come to think of it, last time I corrected this problem, I logged out but did not reboot. [02:45] hi could someone help me with switchable graphics on ubuntu? I have ATI discrete/ATI onboard graphics combo on my laptop. The problem seems to be that both are turned on while in ubuntu (generating heat/battery drain etc) but only the discrete one is ever working. I wanna kill the onboard one and just use the onboard one. I tried http://asusm51ta-with-linux.blogspot.com/ to no avail. [02:46] long line is long [02:46] DasEi, It's really only this: UUID=accc748f-6a4b-4fba-b40f-2c62406a692e that's throwing me for a loop. Back when I was a wee lad, I used to just put in something that looked like /dev/sdc1 [02:46] when I do rfkills list all I get just the bluetooth and the wifi, but I should get the 3G modem as well, anyone know how I can activate rfswitches for that as well? [02:46] TMN_: have you tried disabling the onboard card in your BIOS settings, instead of setting it to autodetect? [02:46] !uuid | craigbass1976 [02:46] craigbass1976: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [02:46] craigbass1976: both works , its a uuid [02:46] craigbass1976: (you can still use /dev/sdxn notation if you'd like) [02:46] lipinski: What kind of mouse is it? USB? Bluetooth? [02:46] Dark_Spyro_003: yes. there is no setting in the bios [02:46] i need to re add teh panel objects from default install [02:47] craigbass1976: sudo blkid for a list [02:47] lipinski: Have you tried a different mouse? [02:47] DasEi, do I even want to know the rationale? Is this something legit, or another one of those "buttons on the left" things. ;) [02:47] TMN_: do you get any image using the dedicated card? [02:47] craigbass1976: that strings nowadays stand for the old /dev/whatever [02:47] those ubuntu have any media player like real player that lets you click and down load videos? [02:47] what is gnome shell 2.31.5 ? is it the gnome desktop or something else ? [02:47] Dark_Spyro_003: i'm not sure what you mean. could you clarify? [02:48] Actually, I think I may have just solved the problem. I had a USB headset connected. Once I disconnected it, Mr. mouse started working again. Still odd, I have been using this headset for a while now... Maybe today was the first time since Meerkat upgrade, though [02:48] craigbass1976: it is, as a unique identifier is found, even if you swap drives, a /dev/.. won't do it there [02:48] Dark_Spyro_003: it seems to me like onboard one is doing the work in ubuntu [02:48] craigbass1976: because scsi [and sata/usb] connections don't have the letter hardcoded by how they are plugged in, the letter part of /dev/sdxn might change [02:48] craigbass1976: the uuid is stable [02:48] according to the help i need to re add my main menu bar correct?> [02:48] TMN_ is your computer screen plugged into the VGA/DVI/other port of the onboard card or of the dedicated card? [02:49] DasEi: Isn't the UUID more like a MAC - unique to that piece of HW? So, more reliable than /dev/sdX as that could potentially move around on boot. [02:49] lipinksi: Glad to hear it. I was running out of ideas... [02:49] lipinski: it's actually set when you format the drive - more like the serial number on windows [02:49] Yupp, just said so ^ [02:49] Dark_Spyro_003: oh it's a laptop, so... vga output seems to work but i haven't tried the hdmi one [02:49] [in fact, for FAT/NTFS partitions, the serial number is used instead of a uuid, though it's still called UUID=foo] [02:49] DasEi, so this: UUID="4A80FF4380FF3453" /bigdrive ntfs errors=remount-ro 0 1 should work? [02:49] not sure which one is which! [02:49] Chottis: appreciate the help.... [02:50] TMN_ : Sorry, I'm not familiar with how the switching between graphics cards in laptops work. [02:50] craigbass1976: yess, but don't forget the options (aka user,exe or desired) [02:50] What is the command to give me back my main menu bar with all the stuff from install? [02:50] Dark_Spyro_003: I see. thanks anyway [02:50] so does linux still not have user mapping for ntfs? [02:50] !panelreset | bearblack [02:50] bearblack: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [02:50] or permission mappign for that matter, ntfs has exec permission bits [02:51] Random832: user mapping ? attributes are not ntfs [02:51] DasEi: by 'user mapping' i meant so that the windows account is used as the owner for whatever linux account [02:51] ntfs _has_ owners and permissions [02:51] Random832: no, the linux-way is still not found on ntfs [02:52] bonjoyee, i did as you said and now i have no panels visible? [02:53] bearblack: try logging out and login again [02:53] Random832: you can set permissions on the dir you mount an ntfs to, but files on ntfs won't hold the linux ermissions [02:53] command for that is? [02:53] bearblack: ctrl+alt+del [02:54] bearblack: sudo service gdm restart [02:54] ah. i forgot about that [02:55] unr is nice, but can i view >1 app at a time somehow? [02:55] my solution does not work, see my update here: http://askubuntu.com/q/20405/8478 [02:57] http://i.imgur.com/aQuTP.png [02:57] LOL [02:58] !ot | r00t4rd3d [02:58] r00t4rd3d: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[03:18] Cairo it's called a shortcut [03:18] but i belive windows also has some "links" [03:19] shotcuts dont owrk [03:19] *work [03:19] saladin1980: Skype 2.1? [03:19] it needs to be a symlink [03:19] well links from linux don't work on windows and vice versa iirc. :P [03:19] well i am asking in general mainly but skype the latest [03:19] http://www.maxi-pedia.com/mklink [03:20] HHabib ^^ [03:20] well i was wondering if it was posssible to code one [03:20] or something [03:20] maybe i could do it with WINE [03:20] saladin1980: I do not think it is possible to do that in Skype I just checked it for you. [03:20] Cairo: I doubt it'. [03:21] ok [03:21] Cairo, but you want to create a link in linux that will only be usable when u're back in windows? [03:21] or a link that's both usable in Linux and Windows? [03:21] yes [03:21] HHabib yea that is y i asked is there a program or somthing i can add to 10.10 to hide systray icons that is all i want bc i want to put in background [03:21] only usable in windows [03:22] saladin1980: I never heard of a program that does this. [03:22] Xeon3D: Windows only [03:22] HHabib that is y am asking everyone:) bc nvr know of someone might have an idea:) [03:22] quick easy question i hope > example loaded skype and pidgen.. it has to have skype running but it has its icon still in systray.. is there a way to hide items in there? [03:23] Cairo, I haven't heard of a prog to do that sorry. [03:23] saladin1980: all systray icons or just skype? [03:23] i want to hide certian ones:) [03:23] ok [03:24] bc example just put up pidgen uses skype but i don't want to see skype only the pidgon icon in systray bonjoyee1 [03:24] How do I turn off the terminal bell sounds from the terminal= [03:24] ?* [03:24] Cairo: there are third party software that enable windows to read ext3 and ext4 so you could put your links in standard way with that [03:24] saladin1980: then u will have to see if those apps have options to show/hide icons...pidgin has that option [03:25] yea butnot the program that i want to hide has one:) LOL bonjoyee1 :) [03:27] saladin1980: sadly gnome hasn't got that option yet, but there's a brainstorm idea about it, so you could leave your feedback there and maybe it'll help get it implemented. [03:28] yea i just dunno how to state it to make sense:) LOL [03:29] saladin1980 - http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4060/ [03:30] Cairo: Kfile (for kde) has an extra plugins package that seems able to work with Windows shortcut files...

[03:35] martin_: not sure if ther eis a specific one, but you could try wemin [03:35] webmin [03:35] !webmin [03:35] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system.

[03:37] sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [03:38] sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start [03:38] just ssh, I think [03:38] it should start by defualt [03:38] after you install it [03:38] hey guys. is it possible to authorise yourself to copy files from hdd to flash drive using live cd? [03:39] Yes, I've done that. [03:39] random28384: yes. [03:39] ah, yes, it is already running... this is simple than I though it was.

You mean view the contents of the directories, right? If so: man ls [03:41] is there anyway to set a fake user and log in using mac password? [03:42] So the powerPC version is too big to fit on a CD? What's the conventional solution here? [03:42] yes view them so they can be copied [03:43] random: gksudo nautilus is best. [03:43] i runs ubuntus file manager as root.

I want to disable bitmapped fonts [03:50] but keep them for Terminal [03:51] yes in the options [03:51] Nanoh, I know that I tried installing 10.4 on my labtop and ran into the same problem it worked sometimes to connect to the internet and sometimes not [03:51] i ended up going back to 8.10 [03:51] Daevol, Edit , Preferences , Content , Fonts [03:51] I've got a copy of my interfaces file. how do I post it here for you all to see... to make sure I got it configured correctly? [03:52] Hi all. I'm trying to setup MIT Kerberos as per these instructions: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/570. From the server itself, I'm able to kinit and krb5-rsh starts fine. From the client side, I'm getting kinit to issue a ticket OK, but when I try to krb5-rsh from a station to a host (in this case, the server itself), I'm getting "Unknown Host". Could someone provide me some assistance on this problem? nslookup, ping and dig [03:52] are getting me proper responses from the client side. [03:52] mactimes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:52] r00t4rd3d: that only lets me set defaults [03:52] if a site specifies "Helvetica,Arial,Sans", I get a crappy bitmapped Helvetica instead of my nice antialiased Arial. [03:52] < /home/python/Desktop/Test.pl [03:53] So I want to tell Firefox specifically not to use bitmap fonts, which isn't in the Preferences [03:53] Someone should get FloodBot2 to identify the difference between "whole problem explanation" from using Enter as punctuation. =) [03:53] Daevol, same place but click advanced , uncheck let sites choose fonts etc... [03:53] Nanoha try sticking the path of the text file with < in front of it [03:53] But, I want them to choose fonts [03:53] I just want to restrict the possibilities a little [03:54] Btw, client side is Ubuntu 10.10, up-to-date. [03:54] Hold on, I may be able to specificially enable Dina (my Terminal favorite) and disable all other bitmap fonts [03:54] that would kind of work [03:55] here is my interfaces conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551359/ I [03:55] m disabling ipv6 now [03:57] brb [03:58] what is the command to view and switch between disks ( paritions ) [03:59] ubuntu for amd athlon II which version to download [03:59] zacharia: how much ram do you have?

[03:59] random28384, to view partitions, you can use 'sudo fdisk -l'. I don't know what you mean exactly by 'swtich between disks (partitions)'.

Is that possible using ubuntu? Sadly, no other remote connection is supported by my workplace.

[04:50] Lxndr: yes [04:50] <_Dan_> things get outdated fast. [04:50] bearblack: quite the tragedy, but how does this relate to Ubuntu, i guess is my question? [04:50] Lxndr: make sre the port is forwarded at work. THen just applications > internet > remote desktop or temrinal services it's called [04:51] because tux is a bird [04:51] <_SKiTZO> bearblack: it was probably jesus [04:51] .. [04:51] <_Dan_> lol @ tux is bird. :D [04:51] 2 million fish died in maryland [04:51] for example [04:51] _SKiTZO: zombies get hungry. ;) [04:51] bearblack: stop [04:51] !ot | bearblack [04:51] histo: thank you!

[04:55] the new asus dual core netbook im not sure the model number [04:55] ive only had it like a day [04:55] Atomos, any other OS on it [04:55] sadly no. [04:55] Hi there, I just updated ubuntu 10.10 and now nautilus looks like its from a really old version? All the icons/theme in it looks old? [04:55] Hello everyone [04:55] hi [04:56] I was confident enough in my ability to stick linux on it that I killed windows [04:56] Ivoz: did you do a full update after the upgrade? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:56] Atomos: Patronizing question, did you md5sum the iso you burned to CD/USB before you installed Ubuntu on your netbook? [04:56] Atomos, how experienced are you with linux.:) [04:56] _SKiTZO, http://mulchman.org/blog/?p=21 scroll down and look at his xorg.conf , I think you need to add another monitor in "Server Layout" [04:56] atmos: can ur netbook boot from anything? [04:57] im actually pretty experiencerd. im just not very technical [04:57] ive ran linux for like ten years [04:57] Atomos: If your responding to my question it's a yes or no answer. [04:57] Atomos, so it is not booting a thumb or cd [04:57] izinucs: ran all those, appears no new updates. Any idea what I would google? [04:57] _SKiTZO, pastebin your xorg.conf file. Not sure I can help but its worth a look. [04:58] atomosL can it boot from anything [04:58] no, I forgot to checksum it but I got it from the ubuntu site and never had an issue doing so before [04:58] maybe someone else can look and know more about [04:58] Ivoz: I'd search the www.ubuntuforums.org for possible answers first. [04:58] izinucs: yeah, what to search for [04:58] it will boot the stick but then it will not actually run it [04:58] Ivoz: or "10.10 upgrade borked nautilus" :) [04:58] Atomos: Despite your downloading direct from Ubuntu website, it's still a good idea to md5sum it just to rule out the obvious/simple :D [04:58] Atomos, do you know the per-session boot key prompt out of te bios [04:58] *the [04:59] atomos: have you tried the stick on other computers? maybe the prob isnt the pc === ernesto_ is now known as Nesto1000 [04:59] it will boot the stick up. like it will get me the eval screen but then it wont do anything once I click one of the options [04:59] izinucs: does http://imgur.com/INi0A look right to you? [05:00] Im having some trouble setting up Ubuntu One. Is there anyone that can help? [05:00] Atomos: just a shot in the dark here.. but on the screen with options hit F6 and change the kernel line .. before quiet splash add pci=nomsi .. then hit enter. [05:01] so after I tell it to boot from the usb hit f6? [05:01] Help running Crysis. I have installed Crysis on Ubuntu 10.10 through wine, but when I try to play the game it says "No CD/DVD-ROM drive found" How can I fix this? [05:01] Atomos, if you boot the thumb and immediatly hold the shift key down you will get the early try or install...esc screen are you going there [05:01] *etc [05:01] Nesto1000: I don't think Wine would be designed to run Crysis very well at all? [05:02] Ivoz: yep.. looks like mine.. there are themes and icon sets that may change all that.. I've just never explored them. [05:02] Nesto1000: install a no-cd patch? :P [05:02] Ivoz, It shows on the wine website that it can be run [05:02] how can I delete all empty files through the command line? [05:02] and idk if there's a no cd patch [05:02] izinucs, it may be that or nomodeset it is hard to read the description. [05:02] Atomos: after you boot to the usb and get the main menu that's when [05:03] nit-wit: yep [05:03] izinucs: I swear it didn't look as 'outdated' as that before... maybe I'm wrong... at least had better icons... [05:03] Ivoz: I agree.. [05:04] Ivoz: I'm using clearlooks right now.. I couldn't take the stock dark theme anymore on this laptop [05:04] Nesto1000, read the comments here http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=5880 [05:05] Nesto1000, from the directions "Install the game and use a Crack on it " [05:05] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10107 [05:05] at the bottom [05:06] nit-wit: I run kubuntu 10.04 on my desktop with another install of ubuntu 10.10 (dual boot) that suddenly decided to go to busybox on startup (the ubuntu side).. any idea how to fix that? [05:06] Nesto1000: http://m0001.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_crysis.shtml [05:06] lol [05:06] i was just gonna paste that [05:07] in PM [05:07] nope, is the same deal with the shift and f6 deal. it will get to the thing that says for best performance plug your machine in [05:07] and then nothing [05:07] can anyone here help me setup ubuntu one? [05:07] I'll see if that works r00t4rd3d [05:07] BUT it will run the live CD apparently [05:08] izinucs, any grub update in 10.04 [05:08] Nesto1000, #winehq for more help if you need it. [05:09] nit-wit: well.. the original error was a bad uuid for sdb3 but I verified that.. then did an update-grub on the kubuntu side.. that's when I started getting the busy box prompt [05:09] ah didn't know that they had one ^.^ [05:11] nitwit does that give you any other ideas whats going on, if I say it will run the live eval, but once I get past the "preparing to install" thing that says I should plug in, it doesnt do anything [05:11] the stick doesnt blink and it doesnt load [05:12] how do I setup ubuntu one? [05:12] battlehands, click on it, and it will walk you through [05:12] ubottu: tell battlehands about ubuntuone [05:12] battlehands, please see my private message [05:13] battlehands, System / Preferences / Ubuntu One [05:13] thank you [05:13] hey [05:13] does xmms2 include all of xmms features? [05:13] or should i get both [05:14] Goliath: xmms is no longer maintained.. xmms2 is [05:14] Goliath, xmms2 is VERY different then xmms [05:14] Goliath, Audacious is similar to the old xmms [05:14] . [05:14] i need to connect to a shoutcast server [05:15] and add change the playlist [05:15] what software to use? [05:15] nit-wit: any idea? [05:16] it appears I might be having problem similar to this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487318 any ideas? [05:17] Ivoz: great thread.. and lots of answers there :/ .. keep looking [05:18] hey guys; im having a problem isntalling Ubuntu dual booting with Windows; i gets through the Ubuntu installation but when i reboot it doesnt finds it; and then when i go to Windows; the partition where i installed it is empty; i have tried a couple of times. with 32bit and 64bit. Any ideas? === testing123 is now known as textualFaggot [05:19] izinucs, you might run the boot script and paste bion it. [05:20] izinucs, hold on I will link you [05:20] michael9196, in my own experience Linux is much easier to add AFTER a Windows instance [05:20] izinucs, can be run from Kubuntu. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [05:20] text based IRC client in ubuntu 10.10 repo ?? [05:21] nit-wit: ok.. brb [05:21] I seem to remember a setting which allowed me to use multiple applications with the same audio card in linux. === textualFaggot is now known as textual239847382 [05:21] under normal scenario if one application is using the sound card i.e. a youtube video, then some other application like vlc media player would not have sound [05:21] mobius2, im trying install Ubuntu with Windows 7 already installed. [05:22] anyone know of a good text based IRC client in ubuntu 10.10 repo ?? [05:22] but I recently fixed that... I just cant remember how i did it ^^ [05:22] ae86-drifter: irssi [05:22] ae86-drifter: try irssi [05:22] michael9196, you will have to forgive me, my experience with Windows ceased with the XP kernel [05:22] what is ubuntu debian? [05:22] eoss, I think you are correct [05:22] eoss: ubuntu is based on debian. [05:22] The following NEW packages will be installed: irssi, thanks [05:23] michael9196: have you made a seperate partition for ubuntu to intsall itself on? [05:23] so when instructions say for debian machines do this [05:23] i do that? [05:23] !list [05:23] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [05:23] im trying to quit Windows; but my PC wont let me :( [05:23] michael9196: you probably shouldn't be able to see anything in the partition from windows, as it should be ext4 [05:23] eoss, if there aren't ubuntu specific instructions - debian instructions will ususally work ;) [05:23] eoss: not necessarily... i said ubuntu was based on debian, not "IS" debian.. there are quite a few differences between the two OS's. [05:24] michael9196, I suggest you roll back to a stable copy of windows xp, then once you have it perfectly configured, install ubuntu from a cd [05:24] they are still very much connected [05:24] eoss: what are you trying to do? [05:24] is there a place I can get ubuntu 10.04 still? [05:24] ubuntu installs perfectly from underneath XP [05:24] Atomos: of course, ubuntu.com [05:24] im trying to run privoxy but im getting a fatal error [05:24] !list [05:24] Atomos, the main ubuntu site still has 10.04 it is the current LTS [05:24] cannot setgid() insufficient permissions [05:25] maybe i should sudo [05:25] !list [05:25] eoss, is that Privoxy instance related to a tor node? [05:25] is the netbook version on there? I cant find it and it keeps giving me 10.1 [05:25] Atomos: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ [05:25] no i didnt set up tor [05:25] bighino, !list doesn't work here [05:25] Atomos: then you're not paying attention :) [05:25] I'm running ubuntu 10.10 fine under windows 7 atm [05:25] Ivoz, how did you install? [05:25] was linux added after? [05:25] I made sure I left a partition for it while in installing windows 7 though [05:25] yep [05:25] Ivoz, ^^ kay [05:26] Ivoz, not even how much space is taken from that partition? [05:26] hey all. ran sudo-apt get update and got this http://pastie.org/1436354 at the end. is it a problem. what do i do? [05:26] michael9196: could you rephrase that? doesn't make sense to me [05:27] i typed the command to start privoxy and nothing happened..just gave me a new line to type another command at now [05:27] Ivoz, in my own experience the Ubuntu installer is quite efficient, I do not run anything beyond windows xp, and even that's done in emulation.... but I would be surprised if the windows 7 boot loader was much different from the xp one [05:27] luxurymode, it is if you want to use whatever PPA is missing the key [05:27] ZykoticK9: right so only affects PPA [05:27] Ivoz, I say so because we were discussing the installing of windows post hoc *nix [05:28] hey [05:28] luxurymode, correct - apt should work fine, except for that particular PPA [05:28] how can i connect with ssh to a server and use a password? [05:28] ZykoticK9: thanks. dont even know why i have that [05:28] Goliath, putty! [05:28] ZykoticK9: how do i just remove the package? [05:28] mobius2: no putty [05:28] just ssh [05:28] Goliath: in a term: ssh user@computer [05:28] whats the option for password [05:28] mobius2: latest 10.10 installer confused me more than others I think. But one of its default options ended up working fine... didn't even mess up the two-step loader for my 'version' of windows ;) [05:28] edbian: what if this needs a password for login [05:28] Goliath: The password thing is a setting on the server. [05:29] hehe [05:29] edbian: how do i tell it which password to use? [05:29] luxurymode, it's not a package issue - it's a PPA issue - either remove the PPA or add it's key, or add it correctly next time. [05:29] the very nature of SSL means that typed passwords are not needed [05:29] luxurymode: what is that ppa for? [05:29] it's certificate based [05:29] ZykoticK9: how do i remove ppa or add its key? ;) [05:29] nit-wit: izinucs = scunizi I'm on my kubuntu machine now.. here's the paste..http://pastebin.ca/2040079 [05:30] Goliath: That's not something you choose. The server either requires password or RSA keys [05:30] Scunizi, paste it agian the link isn't working [05:30] Goliath: It should ask you for the password when you try to log in [05:30] anyone have any idea why nautilius' theme/icons seems to have shat itself after I updated ubuntu? [05:30] you know how mozilla has a go back button, is there a shortcut in linux to press that [05:30] nit-wit: http://pastebin.ca/2040079 [05:30] in windows its backspace [05:30] Goliath: You're logging in to a user name that's on the server. So you have to know a user and password on that server to log into it via ssh [05:30] KM0201: no idea.. lol [05:31] ivoz, i install a Ubuntu in a partition; in windows; that partition will look like its empty? [05:31] . [05:31] eoss, are you referring to the nautilus file browser nav back button? [05:31] michael9196: windows won't even see it [05:31] sure [05:31] luxurymode: well then i would just remove it from my soruce list and uninstall it [05:31] michael9196: yes, because it won't recognise the ext4 filesystem [05:31] luxurymode: but you can probably look at your source list, and figure out what it is. [05:31] open source.list and remove? [05:31] luxurymode: unless you want a GUI to do it... [05:32] how do i pull up the list again? [05:32] Schoentoon, thanks I typed it hold on [05:32] luxurymode: right click your menu, click edit menu, go down to "administration" highlight it on the left... on the right, put a check next to Software sources [05:32] luxurymode: then close the menu editor, and go to sys/admin/software sources [05:32] Scunizi, last message was for you above [05:32] i mean just text of list from a terminal? [05:33] luxurymode: if you just want a list of text..... gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [05:33] i.e: it doesn't look like http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D1EpnOVJuA8/TJITiRXkJiI/AAAAAAAADEo/4UECRcuKihg/s1600/nautilus01.png anymore [05:33] edbian: its a shoutcast server [05:33] Ivoz, well the thing is that when i install Ubuntu; and restart the computer; it gives me the option of installing Ubuntu; but when i select it; it doesnt find it. [05:33] nit-wit: ?? which one.. the one you typed to Schoe... [05:33] it gives me the option of runnugn Ubuntu** excuse me. [05:33] KM0201: ah right. thanks [05:33] hey and good morning 2 all you problemsolvers, here's a problem for ya to start your thinkingmachines with; http://paste.ubuntu.com/551066 [05:33] Goliath: That shouldn't make a difference. As long as it is also an ssh server [05:33] michael9196: that sounds like you're trying to install it twice [05:34] michael9196: so you install successfully, but when you try boot it, it won't let you? [05:34] KM0201: dont see anything about ppa in sources.list [05:34] luxurymode: are you looking at sources.list? [05:34] thats right; it gives me the option to boot it; but when i select it it doesnt finds it. [05:34] What can I do to troubleshoot an inoperable mouse?

I fixed the MBR after messing it up with windows recovery cd (xp), got grub back where it should be but now 10.10 wont boot (it did before i messed things up) [05:36] luxurymode: eh.. possible.. or it might be that skype repo(but i don't recall that happening w/ skype) [05:36] could it be a driver issue?

[05:36] KM0201: k [05:37] arvut, it sounds like your hard drive is failing [05:37] any way to tell if it's the mouse's port on the box other than keep trying different distros?

[05:38] i thought privoxy is my proxy service [05:38] Ivoz, boot media? the only thing i remove is the Live CD. when it finishs installing it asks me for a restart. when it restarts and i select the Ubuntu Boot option it doesnt boot. [05:38] arvut, will the drive boot to either windows or linux? [05:38] and none of what u say is in the ubntu privoxy dociumentation or the getting started in privoxy website [05:39] arvut, or is it only addressable as a logical volume [05:39] if im using another proxy service why do i need privoxy? [05:39] I have a quick question, any help is appreciated: I never had this problem with Windows XP but I am now dual-booting Windows 7 on my new computer. I don't want to change any Windows settings because it is for work. What I want to do is run a Windows executable on the Windows partition, but before I do I have to flag it as "executable" which it is not letting me do. I am assuming the reason why is because of settings on Windows end although th [05:39] at is surprising as well. My question is is there is a mount configuration or something similar I can do to run my executables on my Windows 7 drive. TYVM [05:39] The computer on which the mouse doesn't work has one of those really old ports, before PS/2, but I have a PS/2 port as well. I tried the com port with an adapter and also switched to com 2 by moving the plug on the motherboard, still no mouse functioning... [05:39] eoss, privoxy is not a proxy [05:39] luxurymode: hmm, no, thats not it... cuz i just added it to my repo list, and it updated w/o error [05:39] I am trying to do a SAN install of ubuntu 10.10 and I am getting an error [05:39] eoss, but it helps some proxies work [05:39] >.< [05:39] !pastebin [05:39] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[05:45] update manager [05:45] i had synaptic open [05:45] eoss, go head and close it [05:45] nevermind [05:45] close all administrative applications [05:46] thought it was +F1-4 [05:46] plus all tardy zillions of terminal boxxes :P === cRROW_ is now known as nIT [05:46] ok did that just overright my old privoxy? [05:46] then from a terminal do sudo apt-get install vidalia [05:46] eoss, no [05:46] eoss, but you do not need to worry aboutt hat [05:47] mbvpixies78, ctrl+alt+F<1-7> [05:47] do i still need to dl tor? [05:47] JamesScottSomers: you can try chmod +x /path/to/exe, but i am personally not familiar with wine or what it requires [05:47] or is vidalia tor [05:47] gui [05:47] ok its finished setting up [05:47] vidalia is a bundle kit to make tor more simple === earwigs_ is now known as earwigs [05:48] eoss, you need to answer YES to the vidalia management question [05:48] mbvpixies78, ctrl+alt+ You can try ctrl+alt+F7 or F8 to come back to X [05:48] yep i did that [05:48] you DO want to allow vidalia to drive tor [05:48] mactimes: thanks [05:48] eoss, [05:48] mbvpixies78, You're welcome. [05:48] k [05:49] In my mind this can't be hardware--- I tried 3 different ways of connecting the mouse to the old comp [05:49] well it asked me a question but i dunno if that was it, i just hit Y [05:49] thx. It is still not letting me change the permission using Nautilus but I was able to get it going using wine from the command line should have tried it sooner maybe. TYVM. [05:50] eoss, that was not it [05:50] eoss, if you install properly, then upon installation a blue text box will ask you if you wish to allow vidalia bundle to drive the tor instance [05:50] you should select yes [05:51] nothing came up [05:51] hi guys, i am not able to shutdown my ubuntu laptop .. when i do sudo halt, it gets stuck in the dots moving .. they just keep moving .. doesn't get shutdown any hints .. [05:51] Isn't the default root password "root" ? [05:51] last line was lsconfig deferred processing now taking place [05:51] ld* [05:51] eoss, check your applications list for the vidalia instance [05:51] yea its there [05:51] kk [05:51] launch [05:52] viladia was unable to start tor [05:52] kk [05:52] one second [05:52] check settings to ensure correct name and location of your tor executable is specified [05:53] why is everything a puzzle to install in linux [05:53] ok I ready for an install over next work using gpx how do I go about it? [05:53] eoss, in truth, it is only puzzling because it is the first time you have done it [05:53] well in windows i dl it click it and it runs [05:53] eoss, in my own experience in linux once something is configured it rarely needs to be messed with [05:53] in linux there are about 30 steps to take [05:54] eoss, I agree ^^ [05:54] so are we stuck now mobius? [05:54] i think i must dl tor? [05:54] eoss, I beleive much of it has to do with the decentralized nature of the open source collective [05:54] eoss, yes [05:55] im not sure how my linux box can just dl things from command line..where is it connecting to anyway [05:55] eoss, it is connecting to the ubuntu project's repository server farm [05:55] how great would Ubuntu be if it were the only Linux OS? [05:55] can anyone put shit in that farm? [05:55] be very cautious when saying that fast [05:56] like can i put things in it [05:56] eoss, no only certain developers and folks [05:56] hopefully no NSA agents [05:56] How in hell do i get my headphones to work >.> [05:56] paq7512, actually that would be a bad thing. diversity in the computer ecosystem is important! monoculture is a bad thing. [05:57] ok so how do i dl tor the repository isnt set up for it yet in 10.10 ubuntu [05:57] eoss, the very nature of open source software precludes secrecy , so NSA agents are more than welcome in my book. Open source code is impossible to taint with spyware, because someone will always find it and fix it [05:57] thats good news then [05:58] mobius2, ask the openbsd people if they agree with that statement right now [05:58] eoss, when compared to a project for instance like windows, they have a huge dev team I'm sure, but it pales in comparison to the dev team we have [05:58] hi guys, i think i messed with init.d/rc .. added few things there .. after that i amn't able to shutdown or make n/w up .. any way to recover .. any help pls .. [05:59] and by "we" I mean the rest of the world [05:59] sudo cat dev null?

Im assuming it would work with speakers because it does on my laptop [06:01] But speakers seem to be a nogo [06:01] Haar: what kind of laptop ? [06:02] An old one in ohio, lol im trying to get the headphones to work with my desktop as i have no speakers xD [06:02] eoss, this might help you [06:03] Haar: my headphones work, but not the laptop speakers..... check all your sound options that the 'mute' button is NOT engaged [06:03] http://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/tor-browser-1.3.15_en-US.exe [06:03] is there a 2.5.37 deb for 10.10?? is that where i should check backports?? [06:03] thats a download for a browser bundle of tor. you dont even have to install software [06:03] mobius2: sorry for my sudden AFK'ness. windows boots fine from grub2, on both drives (as I installed it on both drives MBR's) ubuntu doesnt boot at all. but i can see all the kernels *.32-25 and *.35-22 [06:03] Thats all good, They just dont seem to work, I know theyre not broken because they work perfect on my xp partition [06:04] mobius2: and as i mentioned, i do not have windows installed on the ubuntu drive, its on sda while sdb is ubuntu with swap [06:04] sorry 2.6.37 i mean [06:04] Haar, are these regular headphone or USB headphones? [06:04] mobius2: thats a windows executable file [06:04] why would i need that [06:05] eoss, forgive me [06:05] Haar: you might try this page:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=64+bit+flash&titlesearch=Titles [06:05] there is also a linux version on that page [06:05] If it helps, It's a Mic-Headphone combo that's NOT USB headphones, Zykotick9 [06:05] mics not working ? [06:05] theres 7000 versions [06:06] Haar, what sort of sound card are you using? lspci | grep -i audio [06:07] What is the "Me Menu"? [06:07] I wouldnt even begin to know how to tell you xD [06:08] share, menu introduced in Lucid, top right corner - with your name and the ability to set status / etc [06:08] I've got a quick question before heading off to work, I'm using the 10.4 Ubuntu Netbook Remix (or more specifically, EasyPeasy), and the Ubuntu Software Center does not seem to be the same version as found in 10.10, is there a way to update it? [06:08] ZykoticK9: hm I think I removed that [06:10] Anyone? [06:10] Arachon, EasyPeasy isn't supported here. But I don't know of a way to update it no. [06:10] eoss, [06:10] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-install-onionrouter-software/ [06:11] ZykoticK9: Ok, I thought since EasyPeasy is essentially just a remix of 10.4 UNR, this place would be just as good as any to ask, but I'll look around a bit more then [06:11] eoss, that page explains a bit more why privoxy and tor need each other [06:11] ok ty [06:12] ZykoticK9: http://blog.ubuntu-tweak.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ubuntu-tweak-058-05.png :P [06:12] I did sudo apt-get remove indicator-me indicator-messages [06:12] how can i connect to an icecast2 server and manage its playlist? [06:13] eoss, and as far as the weirdness when switching to linux, I strongly suggest installing as much as possible on the terminal. obviously you will not alwayas be able to do that asnd the gui will save you. But all the basics like untarring archives and assembling programs from source, which seem complex but are truly just simple tasks will become childs play [06:13] thats the key [06:13] ok thx [06:13] appreciate the help [06:14] njn [06:14] tomcat runs on 8080 by default right? [06:15] 8080 is standard for tomcat [06:15] assuming "ubuntu" didnt change it [06:15] seems they're in love with trying to be leet pioneers [06:15] and keep shooting themselves int he foot [06:15] I'm installing it on a Cent OS machine atm [06:16] i downloaded that torr stuff but it has no settings that i need to adjust. yet not work?

I know theres tomboy notes, but I was thinking of something that would stay on the desktop so I would see it constantly, like when I started the computer. Is there some application such as this, anyone? [06:18] bearblack, ubuntu comes with firewall [06:18] what you want is the control app [06:18] ufw gui?

It'll be a bit before I can try it on the one in question [06:34] mbvpixies78, see if the one that it's working on has an xorg.conf file and is specifying the mouse in some manner - then perhaps copy that to the non-working one. Best of luck.

[06:43] alguien?? [06:43] it might screw up everything and not allow you to boot any os [06:44] asfd, best to do a fresh install [06:44] really? [06:45] 10.4 to 10.10 is not that risky but it could still break stuff [06:45] you can always edit the grub.conf to fix any problems that arise [06:45] asfd, i personally do agree with r00t4rd3d - i hate upgrades from one version to the next, seems to cause a lot of issues. But it's not required, you can update if you want. [06:45] if you handy at command line editing if fail boot [06:45] awesome-- found a section on xorg.conf in "Running Linux" [06:46] ok, so its best that I go with the package maintainers version?

[06:50] ZykoticK9: ok [06:51] magn3ts, anything root needs a sudo [06:51] magn3ts, whey something is run with "sudo" it means it's being run with the root account [06:51] s/whey/when [06:51] ok but login as root is just disabled?

Surely the phone has something to do with it, but I can't for the life of me work out what. I thought it was because I didn't use the right hostname, but that doesn't matter evidently as 1) I changed it back, 2) I'm using the wrong one off 10.04 on the USB. [08:18] 好的 [08:18] duron23: for what it's worth, I'm a fool... it was a KDE program, so I need to change the file in /usr/share/icons/default.kde4/22x22/apps [08:18] frogballs: I think I see - perhaps it's the ethernet driver, you think? [08:18] maltron, well that is my best guess [08:19] maltron, or try some sort of phone update [08:19] frogballs: thanks. Doesn't seem like there's going to be any easy fix, as it's probably a rare setup. [08:19] yeah prolly [08:19] era878: is that a problem?

IT here (I'm at a university, and I'm new) don't seem to be all that flexible. [08:20] upsla, it shouldn't be [08:20] duron23: not positive yet, working on those images now. [08:20] monk: what is the command you are trying ? [08:20] era878: my isp is airtel [08:20] miststlkr: good luck :) [08:20] frogballs: I'd submit a bug report but I don't know yet that it's a bug, or just a support issue!

[08:35] yes it does [08:35] but now i have no more sound [08:35] glaceman: as I said :) [08:35] share: thanks for help [08:35] Dwade09: just use paste.ubuntu.com then others can help too [08:35] k [08:35] Hmm nice. I've used KeePass on Windows, and I just found KeePassX: http://www.keepassx.org/ [08:36] glaceman: do you check sound preperties , and set it to correct output device ? [08:36] axp2, do not mind the # in the front i was going to test that see if it would stop the error on reboot http://pastebin.com/W7Xe93hq [08:36] where is the systemtray in gnome? In kde, i've found all programms in dbus left beside my clock [08:36] axp2, never got around to the reboot just yet [08:36] rethus: add> notification area ¿ [08:37] rethus: besides the notification area on your panel, you may need to add an indicator panel [08:37] Some apps seem to use the notification area while others the indicator panel on my machine. Weird... [08:37] Dwade09: looking now [08:38] ok. [08:38] Dwade09: i assume you have a cd/dvd drive? [08:38] yes [08:38] xangua: the notification-app i have, but pidgin or other programms are not shown there [08:39] and 4 usb slots axp2 [08:39] rethus: in pidgin: edit>preferences and enable notification icon [08:39] backup your fstab (sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old) first and then replace the line with the hash on the front with this: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [08:39] hdeshev: indicator-panel... mhh. think about how its named in german.... maybe you can give me a hint, which icon is infront of it in the applet-dialoge [08:40] cek [08:40] actually, before doing that, check that /media/cdrom0 exists by doing 'ls /media' [08:40] axp2, nothing shows up doing /media [08:40] xangua: it is enabled. works like a charm on kde [08:40] ls /media [08:40] How to change logon background?? [08:40] axp2, nothing [08:41] rethus: then you don't have the notification area added in the panel [08:41] can you 'cd /media' ? [08:41] tas there are plenty of how to's on the ubuntu forums on how to change the logon screen [08:41] xangua: before, my pidgin-icon was in tray (on kde) right click on it, show me my options-menu for pidgin... i search to get it simlar on gnome [08:41] yes axp. [08:41] yes axp2 [08:41] tas: try this, http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-change-login-screen-in-ubuntu-10-1010-049-04/ [08:42] i done that axp2 but still nothing [08:42] rethus: right clic in the panel> add> notification area [08:42] rethus: my pidgin uses the notification area [08:42] but you can cd to it? [08:42] yes [08:42] I have no idea what's the German name for the indicator panel :D [08:42] xangua: there is a mail-symbol on top, in this are mails and below a little pidgin-entry [08:42] what tools can I use to determine GUI responsiveness? My system seems to drag. CPU usage in system monitor cranks up when viewing, and xload shows cyclical spikes. I'm using 10.10, packages updated today [08:42] ok 'sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0' [08:42] is this how I create my raid array> [08:42] mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid10 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd [08:42] ? [08:42] but that's the panel with the ugly mail envelope and the keyboard layout indicator [08:43] axp2, done [08:43] hdeshev: so let me use another example: skype. [08:43] where can i ffound skype-icon in tray? [08:44] hi. my laptop is connected to a tv via VGA cable. when i close the lid (to put it to sleep) and open it again (wake up) it goes into dual monitor mode. how can i prevent this? i would like it to default to "Mirror" mode. [08:44] did this work on your system? [08:44] Funny. Skype uses the notification area too. And I don't remember tweaking it in any way [08:44] now 'sudo ln -s /media/cdrom0 cdrom' (from within /media) [08:45] crawler, instead of making the laptop go to sleep or what not when you close the lid why not set it to do nothing when the lid is closed? [08:45] hdeshev: i have open my skype, but no icon in notification-area [08:45] axp2, done. [08:46] ok, now change your fstab like i sad above [08:46] axp2, i have cdrom and crdom0 in /media [08:46] backup your fstab (sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old) first and then replace the line with the hash on the front with this: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [08:46] Dwade09: because i want it to go to sleep when i'm done using it? [08:48] axp2, http://pastebin.com/9n1FDKBF [08:48] sorry crawler was just asking. [08:49] So, rethus, you have the notification area panel added to the gnome panel, right? [08:49] Dwade09: sorry my mistake, change /dev/scd0 to /dev/sr0 [08:49] try quitting skype and running it again. maybe it will get its icon in there this time [08:49] axp2, done and done. [08:49] axp2, reboot? [08:49] last few days i have had problems with... ok, so say you click system, that menu that pops down.. or that menu when you right click on something.. well sometimes those windows hang around and block my view.. i can click thru the "black hole" and if i drag a window it stays behind it.. whats going on here [08:50] can a folder permission be overwritten in ubuntu? [08:50] no just try 'sudo mount -a' [08:50] Other than that, I have no ideas. It just works for me -- both for Skype and Pidgin: http://imgur.com/ijr0k [08:50] axp2, done, it went to a new line [08:51] that means it worked, so hopefully you shuldn't get that message on reboot now [08:51] not sure if something else is causing it, but suggest coming back and asking again if it happens again on reboot [08:51] axp2, i will reboot now as updates are done and i will let you know. [08:51] np. good luck [08:52] Guys, what's a simple and fast image editor for Linux? I had to fire up the Gimp just to crop a screenshot, which sucks. [08:52] gThumb can crop easily [08:53] axp2, thank you its fixed. [08:53] also if you ever need to do mass edits or renaming, resizing,etc. Check out imagemagick [08:53] how to forward a remote 80 port to my local machine's port 8080 thorugh ssh? [08:53] hdeshev: shotwell has simple image editor built in [08:54] no problem, make sure your cd drive still works! [08:54] is it possible to make a DIR readable if been locked by a diffrent OS? [08:55] hdeshev: pinta http://pinta-project.com/ [08:55] Hello! I'm in a bit of a problem. I just installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition... but now I'm stuck. I edited the dual-booting menu in Windows 7 to wait 0 seconds. That leaves me in a loop-hole of Windows7 considering Ubuntu as default, and Ubuntu's GRUB taking me to Windows 7 booter which returns me to GRUB... [08:55] Hah, I didn't know shotwell could do that. Not very nice with me having to "import" the image [08:55] axp2, i have no cd's right now. [08:55] crawler, xangua, I'll check gthumb and pinta out. thanks! [08:55] Andycas: are the ssh server and web server running on the same machine? [08:55] Dwade09: cool, it should be fine anyway [08:55] rww, yes [08:56] how do I tell when mdadm --create finishes? [08:56] Andycas: I believe it's "ssh -L 8080:localhost:80 username@sshserver" [08:57] anybody got experience with using a wii remote + sensor bar for a 'mouse' on Ubuntu ? [08:57] i need help and dont know how to explain my problem. but i have "left over menus" not clearing off the screen.. usually just once a day or so. and it obstucts my view. how do i fix this.. [08:57] rww, i tried running that on my windows machine (thorugh plink.exe) but it says connection refused. I don't know where sshd keeps its logs on maybe i could get some clue from there [08:57] axp2, as soon as i get a cd or dvd wait, i got some blank cd's would that work? [08:57] rww, I can do normal ssh to it though [08:57] hi, if i want an application to run on start-up, what file do i need to add it to? (ie xinitrc) [08:57] Andycas: I've had trouble doing similar stuff with PuTTY. I think the problem ended up being Windows Firewall. [08:57] anybody able to help me.. [08:57] why does a system need separate daemon starts if upstart can handle them ? [08:58] (I'm not familiar with plink) [08:58] spvensko, /etc/rc.local e.g. [08:58] spvensko: right click on the applicationsmenu, then choose 'edit menu' -or something like that, i have the dutch ubuntu :$-, there you can check which piece of code you need to start the application [08:58] spvensko: you can add it using system > preferences > startup applications [08:58] axp2, it auto mounts the blank cd's [08:58] rww, plink uses same cli like ssh on linux. I'll try using putty [08:59] is ubuntu going to go to rolling release any time soon? [08:59] ForgeAus, no [08:59] aww [08:59] ForgeAus: that would be RUbuntu [08:59] is there any rolling release based on ubuntu? [08:59] djszapi, *g* [08:59] ForgeAus: no [08:59] ForgeAus, not for ubuntu, but for debian [09:00] ForgeAus: sidux is based on debian [09:00] ForgeAus: If you think about it, rolling release based off non-rolling release wouldn't make much sense ;) [09:00] hi all\ [09:00] rww: you are wrong [09:00] thank you so much axp2 for all your help . [09:00] there are already half-rolling models... [09:00] rww, wait, if my sshd is running on different port (not default 22) shouldn't i specify that somewhere? [09:00] for instance chakra... [09:00] djszapi: Not an uncommon occurance. What did I do this time? [09:00] Andycas: throw a -p 1234 (for example) in there [09:01] Andycas, client: ssh -p nondefaultport user@host [09:01] rww, I don't know its just upgrades and distro upgrades are too often with release cycle, I love ubuntu but keeping up to date is big downloads makes it hard [09:01] Nice! pinta seems to be exactly what I want. I didn't know it ran on Windows too. [09:01] rolling would keep stuff that isn't changed and only update new stuff right? [09:01] ForgeAus: establish a new distro -> RUbuntu [09:01] I'm on Xchat [09:01] is there any terminal programme that works on linux like hyperterm on windows? [09:01] I would need a pretty much new OS each time [09:01] What tools can I use to determine system responsiveness? My system seems to drag. System Monitor | CPU usage cranks up when viewing, and xorg shows cyclical spikes. Using 10.10 with updated kernel, current nvidia driver [09:01] rumpe1, rww - nice it worked heh [09:01] BODMAS uh you mean like telnet? [09:02] why does a system need separate daemon starts if upstart can handle them ? [09:02] Andycas: woot :) [09:02] can you change permission of a DIR that you are not the owner of? [09:02] random [09:02] random_needhelp, root can [09:03] random_needhelp: that would be silly design. [09:03] please help me... i have these annoying pieces of menus hanging around, getting in the way.. whys this happening.. [09:03] djszapi: Umm. The only thing I'm seeing on Google for "rubuntu" is some Ruby LiveCD. Do you have a link about it? [09:03] hmmm ubuntu doesnt let take ownership? [09:03] ForgeAus, it does [09:03] rww it links me to russia ubuntu flavour lol [09:03] how can i do this@ rumple__ [09:03] rww, it was a joke, i guess ^^ [09:03] rww: *giggles* - it was a joke and new idea with no doing any google research. [09:03] rumple then maybe that instead [09:04] random_needhelp, sudo chown myusername:myusername directory (e.g.) [09:04] oh I see ther ruby one [09:04] anybody with upstart skills here ? [09:04] djszapi: Meh. [09:04] Its a mac OSX . i want to do data recovery before i give it to apple for repair [09:05] djszapi: and I'm not sure what Chakra, a partially-rolling distro based off a rolling distro has to do with me saying that a rolling distro based off a release distro isn't feasible :\ [09:06] rww: I took a presentation about it in Finland, if you are interested in that, check that out. [09:06] how do i use this ubuntu [09:06] nobody knows how to help me i take it... tell me to go away if you dont know so i dont bug... i get menus that stick on the screen and wont go away... its blocking my view.. should i post a pastebin link or something.. its never been more than one at a time.. it only has happened the last few days. [09:06] i installed it now got black screen on my laptop [09:06] wtf [09:06] where has my windows gone [09:07] newbie here :0 has anyone experience installing VMWare in a clean version of ubuntu 10? [09:07] is there any terminal programme that works on linux like hyperterm on windows? [09:07] tristan3199us1: using what videocard¿ installd drivers for it¿ [09:07] tristan3199us1, menues? or windows? you could try "xkill" in terminal and then klick on the window [09:07] SUDO NAULIUS WORKED. thanks [09:07] Pr0n: The virus have been removed.

But i think its needs from now a long long time to get on the state, usability and stables like on 3.5 [09:25] and cause gnome use gnome-shell from april 2011, i think kde will loose more and more... if they don't dturn arround 180° [09:25] rethus: it works fine for me, but I long ago decided that desktop environments are 90% a matter of opinion :) [09:26] rethus, yes, and good step from *buntu series would be clean uninstall of kubuntu-desktop. [09:27] rww: works well for me too. a long time, but each upgrade be afraid that i spend hours cause something not work isn't something for me anymore [09:27] WM should only work [09:27] any way to list audio drivers ? [09:27] rethus: ah. I use Debian testing, so not much in the way of upgrades to worry about at this point in the release cycle ;) [09:28] example: after upgrade to 10.10, kde use phonon and don't can handle sound anymore... after startup, all lines are mutet... after i unmute, sound is scratchy... so i every time have to select mic2 to mic1 and back to mic2 then it works [09:28] No kubuntu-desktop -- What an entirely different experience. :) [09:28] hello [09:28] glaceman, lsmod [09:29] rumpel__: i can get sound throught my headphones only (audio jack) [09:29] rumpel...hyper terminal is a terminal program that comes with windows to conect via the COMport of your computer to connect to a cisco switch [09:29] my internal laptop speaker i have no sound [09:29] Hi all, a question [09:29] i did actually notice that heavy-duty stuff (like autodesk smoke) comes with kde based redhats [09:29] thats probably kde 3.5 ? [09:29] im looking for one that can work with ubuntu [09:29] so far i wasn`t able to find good guide for setting remote control via bluetooth and sell phone, can someone point me something , my phone is sony erricsson [09:29] thats not the "easy, only working way", thats why i change. I still like KDE and realy Plasma-desktop. But hey.. linux is linux, caus its Linux ;) so everyone can choose the best for himself... we all a Family [09:29] or any similar programme [09:30] There is some different if I use propietary ATI drivers Vs default ones on Ubuntu 10.04??.. Im using ATI Radeon HD 2600 [09:31] yes Josesordo [09:31] how can i configure the "notification panel" ? [09:31] rethus: Right click on it. [09:31] maybe show only the important symbols, or show 2 lines [09:31] p_res: if i rightclick, i got always the options of the iconified programm [09:32] BODMAS, perhaps this helps: http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/Serial/serial-console.html [09:32] rethus: Yeah I don't know about deeper configuration. I don't use it myself. [09:32] how you manage your open programms in tray? [09:32] frogballs, thanks..then I will install propietary ones.. :D [09:33] BODMAS, should work on ubuntu as well... except the different tty-configs for upstart [09:33] rethus: What's to manage? They're open in front of my eyes. [09:34] BODMAS, ah... this seems to be more suitable.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto [09:34] :) p_res: i often need skype or pidgin to set my userstatus, or something like that [09:34] rethus: I prefer to go via the actual application itself. [09:34] Josesordo, in my case the ati driver gives me more option to fine tune my graphics [09:34] rethus: TBH I find it useless. [09:35] ah, k. i realy like, that programms in tray instead of window-opener in panel... [09:35] I have no sound when my default selected SB X-Fi Analog Stereo is selected for Audio Output in my Sound Preferences. When I select USB Headset Analog Stereo it plays through one of my headsets. Why am I not getting sound from the headphone jack of my sound card? [09:35] rethus: Each to their own I guess. lol [09:36] hi guys [09:36] Josesordo, the downside is ubuntu cannot update the proprietary driver [09:36] yes, but only if i ask how other people do, i learn to optimize my working-style ;) thanks for your info how you do it [09:37] is there any dynamic gnome firewall manager out there? with dynamic I mean the way most windows firewalls work - by showing a popup when a unidentified connection is attempted and giving you the option to approve or deny it [09:37] rethus: all programs in tray¿¿ [09:38] xangua: no, just this one who running constatnly... pidgin, skype, ant-phone and so on [09:38] !info alltray [09:38] theduke, whats the point in that?

[09:47] got a question [09:47] Hey, folks! I'm running 10.10, but I've downgraded Grub to the legacy version, since I find it easier for me to handle the multiple OS boot I have. I want to create another entry in grub configuration for me to start the system without GUI. If I just copy the normal boot configuration entry, what parameter(s) should I add to it so that I can start the system in text-mode olny? [09:47] done r00t4rd3d [09:47] installed [09:47] can tell me which channel to join for issues with a sound? [09:47] hello, whenever i am trying to install software from ubuntu software centre, I get the msg "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." and the software just won't install. what should i do [09:47] r00t4rd3d, done [09:48] ok , goto Application , Sound/Video , Gnome Alsamixer [09:48] done [09:48] root was to me?

[09:50] seems glaceman has same issue as me [09:50] are you both on the same type laptop ? [09:50] r00t4rd3d: maybe reinstalling the driver might help ? [09:50] im using an lg x130 [09:50] no [09:50] share, sorry, but i'm no expert for usb+vbox ... i use it very seldom for windows and usually without any usb-devices [09:51] im on my desktop [09:51] toshiba L645d s4037 [09:51] what CHMOD command makes the entire DIR under my control? owner cannot be changer from permission tab.

[09:52] mactimes, i would guess you just add "text" as kernel parameter [09:52] rumpe1, Thank you, I'll take a look at that!

I dont see how your headphones work but not your speakers :/ they both run off the same device [09:56] did yet again but to no avail [09:56] r00t4rd3d: exactly :S [09:56] im missing something here [09:56] pravin, same problem, several solutions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1339490 [09:56] I have had this issue for about a month now.

I've got a problem with firef fox. It crashes every 10 sce. What is 'interesting' is that it only behave that way on freshly created user account, on those that I already use it works flawlessly. When I create another user the result is the same - crashes. Any Idea what may cause this? [10:01] test run firefox in a terminal and watch for error [10:01] hi, i want to install linux 10.10 from an existing 10.04 linux. i need to modify grub. how do i find out, whether i am using grub or grub2? and what files do i need to modify in the different cases? [10:01] r00t4rd3d: Will do. Need to switch users. Brb [10:01] exit [10:02] ok, forget about the files. how do i find out what grub i am using (without rebooting)? [10:02] Benkinooby, http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-how-to-edit-grub-boot-parameters.html [10:02] ok just found out that sound-juicer - and almost every other ripper on linux sucks... there are gaps between mp3 tracks on a mixed cd. is there anything similar to EAC for linux? [10:02] @r00t the issue im having only has to deal with the Headphone jack not being recognized [10:02] everything else works [10:02] Benkinooby: Cant you just dist-upgrade? Why do you think you need to do anything with grub? [10:03] Hmm... [10:03] tanx rumpel_ [10:03] the link really worked [10:04] tanx so much [10:04] hi, I'm trying to the correct wildcard to use with cp to include hidden files and folders, can someone help, please? [10:04] BODMAS, wonderful :) [10:04] soreau: grub-install --version [10:04] m4rtin: .* ? [10:04] r00t4rd3d: Terminal reports nothing. Only firefox asks for sending the crash raport. [10:04] neurochrome: If you create an mp3 disk, it will likely have spaces between [10:04] morsing: and that will include files not starting with . as well? [10:04] morsing: (sorry if that's a stupid question) [10:05] can i set tty1 on my machine as another display for a machine connected through ssh ? [10:05] test does the crash reporter list an error ? [10:05] sacarlson: Benkinooby is asking, not me [10:05] r00t4rd3d: No. [10:05] sam_sam, yes [10:05] soreau: ya I saw that sorry Benkinooby grub-install --version [10:05] m4rtin: If they don't start with . they're not hidden [10:05] soreau, to clarify I ripped a cd to mp3 and when I play those mp3s back there are gaps between tracks [10:05] test: But it must be bound to ubuntu settings since it works on other users. [10:05] rumpel__: can u tell me how ? [10:06] soreau, I have not burned the mp3s to disc [10:06] sam_sam, search for "tty rungetty auto login bashrc" [10:06] morsing: yes, but if I give cp the .* argument, will that include hidden *and* non-hidden files? [10:06] neurochrome: What are you using to play the mp3s? [10:06] soreau, i want to keep my 10.04 which i strongy modified and i want to test 10.10 that#s why i want a separate install [10:06] rumpel__: ty :) [10:06] soreau, totem, rhythmbox, vlc [10:06] sacarlson, soreau thank you both for your help! [10:07] Benkinooby: So you just want to add 10.10 on a separate partition? [10:07] sam_sam, that's, if you want to start the ssh-terminal on startup [10:07] m4rtin: Sorry, no it won't [10:07] Benkinooby, install to a seperate partition and the installer will sort out grub [10:07] soreau, yes [10:08] neurochrome, what do you mean by "sort out"? [10:08] rumpel__:not on startup .. i just want to test when needed? [10:08] Benkinooby, I mean it does it for you, updates grub [10:08] sam_sam, then it's far easier ^^ [10:08] Benkinooby: neurochrome is right then, just install 10.10 and it will automagically configure grub for you with 10.04 and other detected OS installs bootable [10:08] sam_sam, switch to tty1, log in, start ssh [10:08] rumpel__:rungetty ? [10:08] hmm i want GUI [10:08] Benkinooby, just choose to install grub and it will detect the other os (10.04) [10:08] morsing: thought not :P is there a wildcard that will match both? [10:08] rumpel__:hehe i knew that [10:09] is possible to connect to a vpn and then connect to another vpn? or i need to use virtual machine? [10:09] m4rtin: No :) [10:09] neurochrome, soreau ok. thank you. i have grub on an extra partition, so it seems reasonable, that 10.10 will overwrite my current grub with grub2 from 10.10 [10:09] morsing: haha, ok, thanks :) [10:09] Benkinooby, it is very easy... I suggest cloning your existing disk just as a backup for future use, always wise to have a backup [10:09] Benkinooby: grub2 is the default in 10.04 as well [10:09] !grub2 [10:09] 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 [10:09] @box:~$ grub-install --version [10:09] grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu9) [10:09] neurochrome soreau so i that case i have grub and neet to edit menu.lst ? [10:09] sam_sam, hmm... you need gui? ... then start e.g. another x-server with "startx -- :1" ... hm.. [10:10] Anyone knows but that affects specyfic user and causes firefox to crash ? [10:10] Benkinooby, no, no need to update, AFAIK that IS grub 2 ;) [10:10] *bug [10:10] rumpel__: i want to start X11 or whatever is needed to get a GUI for that machine [10:10] Benkinooby: No, just install 10.10 and get the partitioning right and it will automatically do the bootloader stuff for you [10:10] neurochrome, although it says GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu9? [10:10] Benkinooby, yeah [10:10] exit [10:10] neurochrome, XD [10:10] what does that argument ":1" means ? [10:10] oups lol [10:10] Benkinooby: 1.98 us grub2 [10:10] rumpel__: You got it right, just needed to add "text" to the end of the line. Thank you very much! =) [10:10] os* [10:10] is* [10:10] sam_sam, you can get GUIs with several methods... like Xforwarding for ssh [10:11] Samba is not allowing me to connect to my private share from windows 7 .. i can get on to the guest share fine... create_connection_server_info failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED - please help [10:11] Benkinooby, it is version 1.98 of grub2 [10:11] rumpel__:let me try ... [10:12] soreau, i don't worry about the grub to be installed. i want to know what grub i have installed right now, to modify it correctly, to boot from the partition with the cd imange. neurochrome and you allready verfied that i have grub2 so my question is answered. thank both of you for your time and patience. you helped me a lot. [10:12] sam_sam, :1 is Xserver 1 ... when you have already running Xserver 0 (which is default) [10:12] where does ubuntu store wallpapers? [10:12] Benkinooby, like I said, just do the install of the OS to another partition, then choose to install grub where you want it and the installer looks for your other odler OS and does it all for you [10:12] Benkinooby, fair enough [10:13] Benkinooby: Curious, why/how are you booting the cd image from hard drive? [10:13] where does ubuntu store wallpapers? [10:13] Benkinooby, yeah, why not boot an actual install? [10:13] sam_sam, on the new xserver you probably need to start "gnome-panel & disown" for gnome-panels [10:13] soreau, i use a netbook, so i don't have a cd drive and i neither have a pen drive at hand [10:13] tas: /usr/share/backgrounds [10:13] Benkinooby: Ah, fun times then ;) [10:14] oCean_, Thanks! [10:14] soreau, also i once tried with pendrive and it dind't work well neurochrome [10:14] Benkinooby, did you check for errors? === oCean_ is now known as oCean [10:14] soreau, is there no way to mount loop an image at boot? [10:15] neurochrome, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [10:15] Benkinooby: There is no reason it shouldnt work but you can test it more when you have a storage device [10:15] neurochrome: I dont see why not.. cant you make an fstab entry for it? [10:16] neurochrome, this is the site i follow, but the information about the grub modifications was not sufficient for me [10:17] soreau, Benkinooby I know it is possible to install the disc image to load from grub, but it seems pointless as it is only a live disc then, if you just want to toy with 10.10 then install to virtualbox [10:17] how to unlock the root? I can't move pictures to backgrounds folder, cuz I dont have permission. and I don't want to move hundreds of pix one by one.. [10:17] what is the best ripper for linux? [10:17] cd* === aknm is now known as monk [10:18] im having problem using chown i cannot specifiy the folder " [10:18] neurochrome: adcde [10:18] people i have connected to my datacard as well my lan, both can connect to internet. now how can i specify the system to use datacard for internet and lan for just lan and not internet [10:18] p_res, no gaps between mp3 tracks? [10:18] neurochrome: I think your players might be adding the space in between because they are mp3s [10:18] soreau, any way to check? [10:18] neurochrome: Play a series of wav or ogg files [10:18] that is bad if there an no players that avoid this [10:18] neurochrome: You can probably do that but I wouldn't know how to. Sorry. [10:18] is there a super copy command that will not interfwe with any permission / ownder problems [10:19] neurochrome, my netbook is quite weak, so virtual box is not really an option. also my things like drivers and stuff can not be testet in a virtualbox. [10:19] Benkinooby, ah ok [10:19] p_res, np cheers! [10:19] Why "use audio devices" is unchecked by default in user privileges? [10:19] neurochrome, i just read the wholes site... i think i will go with the "chroot"-way ... reminds me of good old gentoo (it was a mistake to use gentoo as first linux to play with) [10:20] neurochrome, keywords are prolly: lame gapless ubuntu linux [10:20] can chown be used to change an entire parition that is mounted?

I can't move pictures to backgrounds folder, cuz I dont have permission. and I don't want to move hundreds of pix one by one.. [10:21] @tas in terminal type sudo nautilus [10:23] !gksudo | FREEMAN_ALPHA Just for info, rather than using sudo for graphical app's, gksudo isn't recommended in Ubuntu [10:23] FREEMAN_ALPHA Just for info, rather than using sudo for graphical app's, gksudo isn't recommended in Ubuntu: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) === akssps011_ is now known as akssps011 [10:24] soreau, neurochrome the more i read about this topic, the less reasonable it seems to me to copy the image to an extra partition just to install the new system from that image. the chroot-way seems to be less resource and time consuming. [10:24] gksudo sucks still! [10:24] because it doesnt need that extra partition [10:26] FREEMAN_ALPHA: What's the problem with gksu? [10:26] It's the same as sudo in terminal. [10:26] i can only access files. changin permission is been mees. === mx is now known as Ikcy [10:27] Benkinooby: The link I gave shows how to use the iso from the same partition afaict === Ikcy is now known as Icky [10:27] If you launch Nautikus with gksu it should prompt for password to have root priveledges. [10:28] gksudo for us, and not root password but the user's [10:28] gksu and password is full priveledges. [10:28] Same as root. [10:29] !root [10:29] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [10:30] !root [10:30] sudo=gksu gksu=sudo [10:30] what is gksu?? [10:30] graphical su [10:30] ALT+F2 prompt. Then gksu and command. [10:30] gksudo , allows graphical programs as root [10:30] oic [10:31] soreau, i want to try the chroot way... or do you think using the iso is better/safer? [10:31] what is chroot either? [10:31] !chroot [10:31] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [10:31] hi all... how remove appearence window when try to log in? and why it always come up? [10:32] none_13: You mean use autologin? [10:32] Benkinooby: AFAICT, using the iso would be more sane [10:32] yy [10:32] what appearance windows do u mean?/ [10:32] yes [10:32] Just enable autologin. [10:32] juz untick the ask for password in user account [10:32] System , Admin , Login Screen [10:32] ok thanks [10:32] Unlock , check autologin [10:33] ;-) [10:33] hmm, anyone got a ion gfx card here?? if you run nvidia-smi -a does it only show 1 gpu?

[10:35] Benkinooby: Go with xubuntu then (or they might have a variation with lxde) [10:35] lubuntu [10:35] neurochrome: No it hasn't. I'm using black theme right now. [10:35] FREEMAN_ALPHA: No. [10:35] brontosaurusrex ah ok.. im just curious as i thought it would of shown all the cores [10:35] p_res do u refering to my prob?? [10:36] Yes. [10:36] then did u soolved it? [10:36] @P-res, who is the default user so i know who to use CHOWN command on [10:36] There's a black theme installed by default that you can use. [10:36] I never installed it. [10:36] p_res, strange, it hasn't worked for me for a while now, 2-3 releases [10:36] Is there a manual explaining options in 'User Advanced Settings'?

[10:37] so strange [10:38] soreau, ther is a lxde variant called lubuntu but i don't think it officially supported. there is also an inofficial fluxbuntu. to be honest, i want to do as much as possible on my own for the sake of experience [10:38] i have ktorrent installed and i have magnet links importing from firefox but authentication keeps failing i have no peers === tallis is now known as tallisg [10:38] i am sorry but i cant seem to find help about MBR problems i am having, any suggestions where or how to find the right topic ?

[10:39] soreau, Benkinooby I recommend Arch === AbiGeuS_ is now known as AbiGeuS [10:40] i would say if you want to get down and dirty slackware is your best bet it is lean and a good place to start [10:40] hi [10:40] my first install was slackware with enlightenment [10:40] soreau, i am but i don't want to miss the great support of ubuntu, which i, as you might have noticed, still need. i really made some horrible experiecnes with gentoo and i want to be comfortable with linux befor having a second look at it. i also heard about arch linux and i will turn to it later. one pro for ubuntu is, that it is supported by my university [10:40] Gotta run people. Cheers for now. :-) [10:40] how do i tell apt-get to overwrite the config file when installing ? [10:40] by default [10:41] neurochrome, soreau i know that gentoo, arch and slack are know for the minimalistic approach, but i don't think i am still not experienced enought to mess with them (i only have that netbook and really need it) [10:41] can anyone help getting magnet links working in ktorrent [10:42] lestat : You can completely uninstall the package (including config files and cache) apt-get auroremovce [10:42] *lestat: apt-get autoremove [10:42] ktorrent is the only one i want to use [10:42] Benkinooby: Yes, ubuntu is great but they customize and patch things to work a certain way. Its more of a point-n-click distro than do-it-yourself [10:42] my dell netbook inspiron 1011 has been installed with ubuntu netbook 10.10 but the graphic card driver have some problem..how?? [10:42] the rest hog cpu and ram [10:43] I just added myself to vboxusers and now oracle virtualbox recognizes usb devices :) [10:44] i get no peers with magnet links but the same torrent dled runs fine [10:44] lestat: Or when uninstalling with something in a package manager(synaptic) then there is an option to remove config files [10:44] biborn: What card is it? [10:45] intel graphic on intel atom [10:46] lestat: There? [10:46] soreau, as soon as gnome is removed it pretty much resembles debian (ofc there are still differences). atm i use fluxbox and use the console/vim more and more. but you are right. i often get to feel that ubuntu is not meant to be "minimal". anyone of you has exerience with chrunchbang? i am quite used to the debian/ubuntu way so learning a new system (like gentoo/portage) would again take time... [10:48] biborn: What is the problem you are having? [10:48] lestat: What config file are you talking about BTW? [10:48] y way to disable the VGA port (where my secondary monitor is plugged in) at login? i would like to manually enable the port only when needed.

Does lsusb list it? [10:58] whats the defaul programm to manave certificates [10:59] php or gpg [11:00] biborn: 1) Open a terminal 2) Type compiz --replace 3) Press enter 4) Open a web browser 5) navigate to ubuntu.pastebin.com 6) copy/paste the terminal output to the browser 7) Hit send 8) Post the link it gives you back here [11:00] jere: Dropbox? :o === rocket16 is now known as YouKay [11:01] soreau: the modem light is on steadily and lusb lists it.

You will see your device as well as 8 digits in the format 1234:5678 [11:04] i told u. i am chatting from windows. i cannot do that [11:04] soreau:i told u. i am chatting from windows. i cannot do that [11:05] lol [11:05] upsla: We cant really help you too much then. You probably need to google and read [11:06] soreau:k. thank u. [11:06] why are packages like dnsutils always hold back during an apt-get upgrade? [11:10] i have beetel 100 cx usb adsl modem. i have trouble connecting it to internet. [11:10] hi, is there a way to store / restore ubuntu's configurations / preferences? [11:10] aaaf: Because you probably explicitly told them not to pull in new packages. Packages will be held back for certain reasons (such as the mandatory to pull in new additional packages). [11:11] aaaf: "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" Me think. [11:11] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade would do the trick [11:12] I failed to install ubuntu on a larger partition and now the only solution I have is to install ubuntu on a larger partition, therefore I'd like to keep all my settings [11:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/551442/ [11:12] red2kic, i did not explicitly hold them back (perhaps implicit but i don't know how) [11:12] red2kic i always do apt-get dist-upgrade if packages are hold back [11:12] red2kic is aptitude full-upgrade better? [11:13] martinhacks, backup /etc and /home... there should be all your necessary configs [11:13] aaaf: There are no differences. I'm not familiar with apt-get, only aptitude. [11:13] can I then "paste" them back? [11:13] martinhacks, /home yes. /etc also, if you install the same ubuntu-version [11:13] aaaf: See the above (from coz_). Try that. [11:13] thanks rumpe2! [11:13] will do [11:13] beetel 100cx usb modem problem .any body help ? [11:14] martinhacks, often you don't need /etc, except if you have changed daemon-settings (sudoers, special fstab-entries, etc.) [11:14] how is this possible? [11:14] http://pastebin.com/RzYn9FsP [11:14] well I got zeitgeist running [11:14] dunno if it changed anything in /etc [11:14] Sriram: when i said "by ubuntu" i meant upstream, by those who create the ubuntu packages [11:14] martinhacks, i would also recommend a separate /home-partition... that makes it easier, when you later again make a fresh install (for a dist-upgrade e.g.) [11:14] create and mantain [11:14] red2kic, coz_ thanks :-) [11:15] aaaf, did that work? [11:15] hmm never thought of it, that's clever [11:15] thanks rumpe2 [11:15] martinhacks, if you don't know, back it up and when you later recognize, that you had some special configs, you can paste the specific /etc-files back [11:15] arvut: that is all that is seen in your ubuntu 10.10 fstab file? could that posibly boot? [11:15] lestat: Sorry, not that experienced with apache [11:16] ok ill say this much i hate xubuntu [11:16] hi, where is set the PATH for root and other users ? i checked /etc/profile and /etc/environment that doesn't match [11:16] +but [11:16] yep like compiz settings or sorts [11:16] coz_ yes that's how i always did it (except i did it using to seperate statements). just wasn't sure whether thats correct [11:16] I want the barcode font [11:16] but good question is there away to boot into gnome? [11:16] Where can i get it from [11:16] sacarlson: indeed, and no it doesnt boot [11:16] aaaf, separate commands are fine its just with the && to combine ...somehow seems faster :) [11:17] so how can i go about going to normal ubuntu? [11:18] elvensin, install ubuntu-desktop [11:19] elvensin, then you can choose gnome/ubuntu-desktop in login-screen [11:19] SETUP [11:20] hola [11:20] how can you force a device to mount as read andwrite. [11:21] Sriram: well it happens all the time ... [11:21] does gnome has a programm like kgpg to manage certificates ? [11:21] but nevermind ..

[12:00] glaceman: i don't know. [12:00] nakedwarrior: a what program? [12:01] Fuskering [12:01] Hailsematary: I don't think it's possible to do that with bzr. [12:01] Gnea: well you cant help me I work with someone else [12:01] Could someone help me with my network setup? I've got a wireless internet connection, but I also want to set up my eth0 as a manual IP interface, but whenever I try it messes up the routing table and I can't use the internet [12:01] glaceman: (i use gnome) [12:01] if you don't know its amazing for looking up photos [12:01] Hailsematary: install Debian, then you can use Debian packages. [12:01] Jordan_U: is it a must to checkout the whole branch? [12:01] mvanle, sure the user have evrything but he doesn't modify the path (except adding ~/bin) [12:01] mvanle: i can do it one by one clicking on each icon "Resize icon" [12:01] Hailsematary: You can download just the debian diff from http://packages.ubuntu.com [12:01] glaceman: yeah. but sure where you can set a default. [12:01] does anybody knows why headphones are working and mic not on my headphone [12:02] numberto: my headphones are working, my speakers are not :S [12:02] nope, I don't want the debian diff, I want to look at patches dir, rules file etc. for packaging issues [12:02] Hailsematary: That's all in the debian diff. [12:02] roger21: so you sure that all the user's ~/.bash* files don't have any other export PATH ? [12:02] Hailsematary: use the apt-get source command [12:02] Hailsematary: Everything that is not in the upstream tarball is in the debian diff. [12:02] glaceman: ha ha, but really why could that be - it is a headset and it is bundeled [12:03] Jordan_U: is debian diff include the patches too? [12:03] Hailsematary: Yes. [12:03] brb [12:03] ok, thanks then mates ;) [12:03] mvanle, i greped it, there is nothing else than the thing about the local bin [12:03] re [12:03] i mean the ~/bin [12:03] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/A1ipF7Tu [12:04] apparently there is a bug with my computer yet still want to fix it [12:05] Error: /dev/sdf: unrecognised disk label [12:05] what does this mean? [12:05] it means that Ubuntu sees your new disk [12:05] roger21: yeah, but the problem with greping just ~/.bash* is that the bash files themselves can source other files. if you try removing/renaming all the user's ~/.bash* files, and then have him 'su - ', and then "echo $PATH" he'll have nothing. that would prove that one of the ~/.bash* files are calling another file somewhere. [12:06] Gnea: I already told you, it does not show up in the installation [12:06] how do I install ubuntu on that disc? [12:06] g0th: and yet, Ubuntu sees it. are you using 10.10 or 10.04? [12:06] 10.10 [12:07] mvanle, i'll try that [12:07] well if it does not show up in the installation I call this "not seen" [12:07] ah, the broken one that everyone keeps complaining about [12:07] * Gnea notes that 10.04 suffers much less from these problems [12:07] Jordan_U: any idea what the message above means? [12:08] g0th: can you run the disk through gparted on the commandline? [12:08] it is not installed [12:08] and yet, you just used the gparted command [12:08] this is the kubuntu 10.10 installation disc I am running right now [12:08] no I did not [12:08] mvanle, yep he get another path, i must check those startup scripts deeper [12:08] I used parted [12:09] which is gparted [12:09] no [12:09] g0th: gparted == g parted == GNU Parted == parted [12:09] no [12:10] you're wrong [12:10] I now installed gparted [12:10] !info parted [12:10] parted (source: parted): The GNU Parted disk partition resizing program.

[12:11] roger21: yeah. if using bash, the order is after login: call ~/.bash_profile -> ~/.bashrc. and ~/.bashrc sources stuff in /etc/bashrc. there's a lot of calls made in /etc/bashrc ... [12:11] right, because ubottu gives misleading information [12:11] hmm?

[13:03] Why would a process immediately pause when resumed with bg, but continue running when resumed with fg? [13:03] that being the case your default route should be poitning towards the laptop ip adress. [13:04] i am new to ubuntu , i am experiencing network problems on my ubuntu 10.04 [13:04] wookienz: okay, do I need to define anything for the "metric"? [13:04] then your laptop would have a default route poijting towards the ISP info... [13:04] no can leVE METRIC,. [13:04] rohitnikcool: what kind of problem? [13:04] Nanoha: leave metric [13:04] ok [13:04] my network get disconnected after a while say 2-3 min after i start it. [13:05] wookienz: do I need to define routes for my internal network as wel? [13:05] has anyone tried to transfer NTLDR and BOOT.INI to D: then install Ubuntu on C:? I have a weird Windows install. Windows resides on D: but the files for booting are on C: [13:05] rohitnikcool, which type of internet connection are you using? [13:05] I mean transfer manually, via Ubuntu Live, then have Grub 2 point to D: so Windows can boot too... [13:06] no, as any internal ip requests will automatically go out the internal nic [13:06] in what repository do I find truecrypt? I've added partners and medibuntu and it's still not in the list [13:06] ok [13:06] oh wait [13:06] the default gateway is there to find a way out of the network for anything not internal [13:06] apt is not unlocking [13:06] nope, still not there [13:06] you may need "route add default gw laptopip eth1 [13:06] replace laptopip and eth1 with your eth [13:06] hello. Since i installed an proprietary nvidia driver my display stays really dark. What can i do? The nvidia-xserver-settings don't work well for me. I use Kubuntu Hardy Heron.

[13:10] somethinginteres: http://dpaste.com/295151/ [13:10] Nanoha: weird setup so im guessing here... nic2 which connects to access point - should have a default route with the ip of the laptop as the gw.

Basically, C: is nothting but an empty disk besides the 2 boot files [13:10] kaddi_: no, click on "About" at the bottom of the page [13:10] Atlantic777: apt is locked, how can I unlock it [13:10] Nanoha: from DSL all the way to the desktop give me nic names adn ip adresses presently... i think we are talking in circles [13:11] just install it on C: , dosen't matter, but i must say u got a strange windows partitioning [13:11] Guest66322: remove the lock file, it's somewhere in /var/lock if I remember well... [13:11] wookienz: I think you have it backwards. my laptop is suppsed to connect to the access point, to the eth1 and then hit the internet through eth0 [13:11] what is better VBox 3.2.12 or 4 as i heard 4 is a lot buggy at this moment [13:11] ubuntu wont touch ur boot files exept the boot.ini [13:11] jrib so I'd better get info on PPAs from launchpad? [13:11] i want to run Vista or Xp on it [13:11] Atlantic777: I was told removing the lock file can mess up & system, & when I did this last week I had to re-install my OS which I did, & now it happened again. [13:11] glaceman: I know right! LOL! I just can't install Ubuntu on C:. HOw will Windows boot if there is no NTLDR and BOOT.INI? [13:11] @root heres something interesting [13:12] ok so eth0 on laptop is dsl connection... eth1 is wireless connection? [13:12] josephPH: go for wubi [13:12] install ubuntu from window, select C: partition, and that's it, it wont be formatted, don't worry about ur xp installation, it will dual boot [13:12] induz, which version of ubuntu you using at this moment [13:12] glaceman: That is why I am asking if anybody here has tried just manually copying the 2 Windows boot files to another driev, have GRUB manage the rest. [13:12] kaddi_: up to you. If you like the site, it's probably fine and if in the end you are only using it for information and not installing software from it, I don't see how it would jeopardize your system [13:12] Guest66322: ok... it's not something you should do at the day to day basis, but I did that several times without problems ;) [13:12] listen [13:12] do something [13:12] israfil: laptop or desktop? [13:12] hey guys the system settings for apt proxies are stored in /etc/apt/apt.conf however is there an .apt/apt.conf or something that each user can use to override the system settings? [13:13] josephPH: delete ntldr and boot.ini, then grab urself a winxp2 cd, launch the recovery console, and repair ur installation, it should install ur files on D [13:13] juk: wubi? [13:13] !wubi | josephPH: [13:13] josephPH:: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [13:13] Atlantic777: When I did it last week, it did not fix apt, it made apt demand that I install a package I did not want to install anymore & would not let me use apt unless I installed that app, yet every time I tried it would freeze & lock up apt. [13:14] juk: Thanks but I don't want Wubi. [13:14] wookienz: DSL: connect to eth0 (66.42.212.110 / 255.255.255.252 gw: 66.42.212.109) Access point: eth1 (192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0 ) [13:14] Guest66322: can you give us error message? [13:14] jrib I would be adding repositories suggested by that site, so in a way I would be instlaling software (at least suggested by if not) from them. [13:14] anyone know how to fix this> Conexant CX20585 no sound threw headphones [13:14] somethinginteres: i have got a laptop [13:14] glaceman: That could work... I have to find the cable for my DVD. I dont use it anymore. Hehehe... [13:14] josephPH: then you screwed [13:14] Atlantic777: No because that wa smy old system [13:14] josephPH: delete ur boot.ini and ntldr from c, restart ur computer, insert winxp cd, launch it, go to recovery console, type "fixboot" then "fixmbr" it should reinstall them to d [13:14] Nanoha: OK! so which on desktop is connecting to laptop and outside to internet? [13:14] israfil: Asus? [13:14] josephPH: OH :P [13:15] somethinginteres: Samsung R530 [13:15] kaddi_: as long as the ppa is still hosted by launchpad then you are taking on the same risk as with any other ppa (which is actually a lot -_-) [13:15] nanoha: on/nic [13:15] glaceman: eth1 connects to the laptop [13:15] juk: Thanks man, I've been using Ubuntu/Kubuntu for 3 years now. I am not pretending I know everything. So a WUBI option is not exactly an option for me. [13:15] Guest66322: sorry, I can say you nothing without error. :D [13:15] wookienz: eth1 connects to the laptop [13:15] irc.indymedia.org [13:15] Atlantic777: I already re-installed my OS since then. [13:15] ohh man, i really could use help with "autofs" on lycid... it won't mount my files, it creates the folder but it always stays empty [13:15] Nanoha: i didn't undertstood what u said exactly [13:15] Guest66322: could it be some broken packages which caused apt to lock up? [13:15] Atlantic777: But I can give you the current errror messsage [13:16] ok so eth1 on desktop must be on same subnet as laptop. ie 192.168.1.0 subnet. [13:16] glaceman: sorry mistell [13:16] Nanoha: no problem [13:16] Guest66322: ok, give me current then... [13:16] d3cented: halevt works well for me [13:16] wookienz: they are. 255.255.255.0 [13:16] Nanoha: then for your default route on eth1 on desktop your owuld add 192.168.1.1 as gw. [13:16] 天啊 [13:16] jrib it's not a launchpad ppa but apparently from something called "hacktolive" which is why I'm asking [13:16] Atlantic777: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [13:16] halevt? [13:16] !cn | tone [13:16] kaddi_: oh, no idea [13:16] tone: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [13:16] Nanoha: "route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth1 [13:16] ' [13:16] " [13:16] glaceman: Thanks dude! I was hoping a simple copy would do it. Guess I'll have to do it the long way now. [13:17] Israfil: brightness is often an issue with laptops. It should be fixable. The brightness issue also present when running on A/C power? [13:17] Guest66322: no apt's running? Software center, synaptic... ? [13:17] josephPH: anytime ;) [13:17] Nothing [13:17] somethinginteres: i fixed it in an older version. But now it does not work anymore. And yes, i am running mostly on AC power [13:17] Atlantic777: none of that running, remember I went through this last week [13:18] Atlantic777: but when I last removed lock, it caused that other problem which I cannot give you the error message to since I re-installed my OS since then [13:18] Nanoha: now you should be able to ping the laptop internal interface [13:18] Atlantic777: I spenbt 2 days in here last time last week [13:18] wookienz: okay. I'm doing this through the network manager gui. So, do I need to use Routes for eth0? It seems a bit redundant [13:18] Guest66322: only idea I have is manual removing lock. And I can't remember any problems with doing that. :D Sorry... [13:19] i see... [13:19] I want to otain a SSL certificate but I read that if it is password protected I need to enter the password each time a service is restarted. I have a monitoring solution (monit) which restarts the services if something happens. Is it very insecure to have a SSL-cert without password or is it easier to configure monit with the SSL-password? [13:19] Nanoha: eht0 on desktop or laptop? [13:19] israfil: something like this http://www.allquests.com/question/2344140/HOWTO-Fix-your-laptops-brightness-function-keys-operating-properly-in-804-Hardy.html [13:20] wookienz: desktop [13:20] Nanoha: an get into CLI - much more fin and easier IMHO [13:20] Atlantic777: when I did that last week, it cause both apt & dpkg to demand I install a particular program & not allow me to remove, or add any other programs until then, & when I tried, then it would freeze apt again causing the lock problem again. & even cntrl C would not kill apt. [13:20] I shoud be able to ping my access poitn (192.168.1.245) but am getting destination host unreachable [13:20] no routes for eth0 desktop needed yet. is that connected to anything? [13:20] hey [13:20] is there any way to link a custom address to http://myip:8000/listen.pls? [13:21] josephPH: you will have to reinstall windows [13:21] wookienz: not yet. that cable is plugged into my laptop right now [13:21] Guest66322: ummm I had similar problem with portage caused by a permission issue [13:21] Bipul`, I am using karmic [13:21] juk: No one should ever have to reinstall windows! :p [13:21] take eth0 down, so only the eth1 connected to wifi access point is up, will help issue. as long as the interfaces are on same ip you should be able to ping each other - with or without routes [13:21] hi [13:22] Atlantic777: Nope not a permission error, it was a corrupted apt-get/dpkg install list error [13:22] Guest66322: apparently josephPH does [13:22] Goliath: What do you mean by custom address? [13:22] Nanoha: ill be back in 10 minutes.... [13:23] Guest66322: what have you done to get this problem? Just normal installation of some packages? [13:23] gr0gmint: okay, I'll be here [13:23] Atlantic777: could you tell me how to completely, manually remove apt & dpkg from my entire system, to purge apt & dpkg? [13:23] juk: But wouldn't they do better to just only use Linux? :p [13:23] Hello. I’ve followed this help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes#GTT%20Incoherency%20Patch thinking it would solve freeze problems, but as it failed to recognize my screen resolution, I tried to reverse using ppa-purge. Now when I boot up ubuntu, I get a black screen. I have a live USB at hand that recognizes my screen resolution. How can I copy its X11 config to mine? [13:23] darn mistells!!! lol [13:23] sorry [13:23] Atlantic777: yap, just apt-get upgrade caused it [13:23] juk: Nah, I don't think I wanna do that, but thanks. I think I will go for the Recovery Console option. If not, then screw Windows! As long as I get back Ubuntu. LOL! :) [13:23] Guest66322: you could try reinstalling apt/dpkg from chroot with live cd. [13:24] Processes akondi_maildis, akondi_maildir, akondi_ical_re, akondi_contact, akondi_nepomuk are all running with CPU% 15 avg. What are these for? Is it safe to kill them? [13:24] Guest66322: but I can't help you much with that, never had to do that... [13:24] Atlantic777: Thank you, that is what I wanted to know :D Now how do I do that? [13:24] josephPH: cool!

[14:04] /me welcomes all ubuntu users [14:05] ronr__: you can install Ubuntu within windows to avoid having to partition [14:05] hi all [14:05] just a question [14:05] ronr__: or having to delete anything [14:05] what is the best forensics kit for ubuntu [14:06] somethinginteres: I want to get rid of the windows installation alltogether [14:06] i'm using tsk and i'm satisfied but i'd like to know more about! === jacob_ is now known as Guest41862 [14:07] ronr__: sorry, I'm a bit confused. You want to delete Windows but not format? [14:08] somethinginteres: delete as in not have access to it. I don't mind deleting the windows directory, I just don't want to format the whole disk. [14:08] somethinginteres: why not format? [14:08] how to cancel gdm of ubuntu? [14:08] sorry I ment ronr__ [14:08] vsair: what do you mean cancel [14:08] thx! [14:08] cancel [14:09] Tadej: because I have lots of data on the drive, and I have no way to back it up. [14:09] yes [14:09] uboutto:help [14:09] ronr__: I dont think you can run ubuntu on NTFS [14:09] help [14:09] Tadej: oh, it can't read NTFS? only FAT?FAT32? [14:09] ronr__: you will have to move the data or at least resize data partition and make new one from available free space [14:10] How can i check if a user has a password set? [14:10] ronr__: it can read it, but it cant run from it, as far as I know [14:10] Tadej: can the file system be converted without formatting it? [14:10] sriram_:hi [14:10] no [14:10] ok [14:10] i dont think so [14:11] vsair: in /etc/inittab change "id:5:initdefault:" to "id:3:initdefault:" [14:11] but you can use partition magic and resize NTFS (make it smaller) [14:11] and install ubuntu on the rest of free space [14:11] ronr__: that's a tricky one. I've never heard of that being done before. The only thing I could think of is shrinking the NTFS partition and giving the remaining space to Ubuntu. But there's a chance of data loss and without a backup method it's risky [14:12] okay. now, if I run the installation and choose to format the disk afterall, are the installation default partitions good enough or should I change them? [14:12] s3r3n1t7: in /etc/passwd [14:12] mvanle, can't see if it has a password there can i? [14:12] ronr__: you should probably change them. Most people put their /home on a different partition to keep files if they need to upgrade/reinstall etc [14:12] somethinginteres, Tadej: I can try backing it up on a different machine, I just imagine it'll take forever and then some. [14:13] ronr__: I'd say backup is the only real method [14:13] ronr__: but it is the best solution... [14:13] how do I remove a menu in Applications list, I installed wine, then 'remove --purge' it, but the menu stays [14:13] how can i make it so my current user automatically logs in? i dont need to enter a password on bootup any more [14:13] s3r3n1t7: it might look like this "s3r3n1t7:x:500:500::/home/s3r3n1t7:/bin/bash". the 'x' mean there's a password set. [14:13] I'll try to. Not sure how well it'd work on my home network. [14:13] mvanle, that's a lot more helpful, didn't know that. Thanks [14:13] other than the /home dir, should I set other dirs as well on a different partition? [14:14] or, how can i make it so this machine automatically connects to a wireless network without a user logging in? i want to be able to ssh into it, but after i restart i have to log in before it will connect to a network [14:14] mvanle, that leads me to my next question: Why would i have an sshd user login with password? [14:14] ronr__: that should be fine just /, /home and swap [14:14] or let's say this, I have a 320GB hard disk, how should I partition it to avoid future problems? [14:14] I cleared cache 5 min before now again got notification that root folder is running out of memory, what should I do, how do I stop this unnecessary logging [14:14] mode +b [14:14] ronr__: well swap needs to be 2x your RAM === frank_ is now known as M3de [14:15] s3r3n1t7: because the ssh user is logging in the host without using a key. [14:15] I added a share folder in my home dir and I right clicked it and chose to share it with others on the network and I can see it from other computers on the network but when I try to access it, it asks for a password and I put in the password I added with sudo smbpasswd -a myusername and it wont let me access it... why [14:15] mvanle, but i have no user named sshd [14:15] ronr__: /home can be as big as you wish. I had my root partition as 10GB which was far too small so you should probably give that a fair amount of space [14:15] are there any known problems running ubuntu on an atom/ion platform? [14:16] somethinginteres: okay, should I give the root 20G? 50G? [14:16] s3r3n1t7: oh you mean "sshd" in /etc/passwd ... well, the /etc/passwd file contains information about user acounts. "sshd" is an account that is probably not a regular user. these types of accounts are created for system administration purposes eg. the sshd service runs as user "sshd". it's for security reasons. [14:17] mvanle, that doesn't explain why it has a password set still ... [14:17] ronr__: based on my spending 9hrs last night having to give extra space to root I'd say 50GB to be safe it depends on how much you wanna install but yeah bigger is better to avoid annoyances later [14:17] s3r3n1t7: if it did not have a password, some guy can just log in as user "sshd" on your host. === bencahill_ is now known as bencahill [14:17] mvanle, no he couldn't, since sshd is set to not allow passwordless logins [14:18] mvanle, although that does sound like a sane theory [14:18] mvanle, thank you. [14:18] s3r3n1t7: yeah but you're talking about "ssh" as a connection. i'm talking about "sshd" as a user. [14:18] mvanle, ssh daemon won't allow any user to login without a password, including but not limited to the user sshd [14:18] uhh... hello, is this place open for support? [14:18] somethinginteres: okay, thanks for the help. I've never used ubuntu before (I use Fedora at work), hope it goes well. it's 'only' meant to be a media center though, so it'd mostly run VLC and maybe XMBC. [14:19] owneruser, yup, go ahead 'n ask. [14:19] s3r3n1t7: oh right. yeah, but a local user could log in. [14:19] Hi need netcat help. I want to set the delay in something less than a second [14:19] thanks... uhh [14:19] ronr__: no worries. There's a mediacentre specific flavour of ubuntu called mythbuntu you may want to use that? [14:19] I think my webcam and mic are mixed up [14:19] I added a share folder in my home dir and I right clicked it and chose to share it with others on the network and I can see it from other computers on the network but when I try to access it, it asks for a password and I put in the password I added with sudo smbpasswd -a myusername and it wont let me access it... any idea why [14:20] Hi [14:20] ronr__: http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mythbuntu.org%2F&ei=CiEnTeygM4bqvQOSkdzgBA&usg=AFQjCNEUFhJt0qQnPaD_LAIKS8mbELJssw [14:20] s3r3n1t7: (or somebody who is already logged in could change to user "sshd" with 'su - sshd') [14:20] sound preferences just freezes the entire system [14:20] Can i have icons on my dekstop in Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition? [14:21] s3r3n1t7: and then perhaps even delete /usr/sbin/sshd (or even worse, replace it with a trojan). === owneruser is now known as youm [14:21] mvanle, hmm i suppose [14:21] mvanle, that's probably true, yeah [14:22] somethinginteres: I will look into it, thanks! do you know what the main differences are? [14:22] How can I make my ~/.XCompose file available for the "root" user? [14:22] Can you use firefox from the shell? [14:22] ??? [14:23] hello, It's there anyway that I can calculate how many files a website has? [14:23] eiku: what, you mean the root user will use ~/.XCompose from another user ? [14:23] i dont want to download the files, just want to know how many files a website has [14:23] Somelauw: no. firefox requires X11. [14:23] looking for fstab help. //192.168.0.100/video /video cifs ocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 [14:24] mvanle, I just want to have the same "compose key" settings as root as I have as single user [14:24] that seems to lock the folder on the windows box [14:24] what is the best ubuntu based nas? [14:24] I don't want it to do that [14:24] ronr__: not in any great detail never used it myself it basically installs a program called "mythtv" by default and helps to set it up. It's Ubuntu especially for PVR but it is meant for standalone mediacentres so if you're going to use your PC for media and more (like me) regular Ubuntu is best. If it is just a PVR then mythbuntu might be worth a shot. Saves a lot of time I hear [14:24] but I don’t know where the config files are for root [14:24] i dont want to download the files, just want to know how many files a website has [14:24] eiku: you could create a symlink in /root to the ~/.XCompose of the single user. [14:25] I have already copied it in /root [14:25] find out how many files a website has? with wget? [14:25] but it seems not to work [14:25] So, what is the most shell like user interface that I can use firefox with? [14:25] eiku: (but this is bad security practice. if somebody hacked your ~/.XCompose file, the root user will use it too). [14:25] mrroth: Ubuntu Server would be the way to go though FreeNAS might be worth looking into (not Ubuntu based though) [14:25] (maybe I should have rebooted or something) [14:25] somethinginteres: it seems it can be added at a later time to an existing ubuntu installation, so I may look into it later. [14:25] mvanle, no problem here, I’m on a live session (liveUSB) [14:25] ronr__: yeah you can indeed [14:26] (so my idea of rebooting was stupid) [14:26] somethinginteres: one last question if you don't mind. I have 4GB ram, should I get the 32bit or 64bit version? (in windows I have to use the 64bit) [14:26] Somelauw, did you mean launch firefox from a terminal? [14:26] Somelauw, or control it via the terminal? [14:27] ronr__: 64bit. A 32bit cant page 4gb [14:27] Yes, but I also want to display it without having to start gnome. [14:27] somethinginteres: great, that's what I downloaded. [14:27] Hullo, I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 and I don't seem to have the latest version of Ubuntu Software Center, how can I update it? [14:27] Launch it from a terminal. [14:27] somethinginteres: so thanks for all the help. I may come in later to bug you with more questions if I encounter any problems ;) [14:27] Somelauw, then the answer is no, not possible, but you can use w3m or links or lynx [14:28] ronr__: no problem. Hope it works out. [14:28] thanks. have a great weekend! [14:28] somethinginteres: not to my knowledge. you need a X session to display firefox. [14:28] I added a share folder in my home dir and I right clicked it and chose to share it with others on the network and I can see it from other computers on the network but when I try to access it, it asks for a password and I put in the password I added with sudo smbpasswd -a myusername and I smbpasswd -e username it wont let me access it... why [14:28] is there any way to load sound preferences from the terminal? [14:28] How depressing [14:28] Oops [14:28] mt <.< [14:29] eike, I also want to be able to display graphics and sound and such. [14:29] It doesn't have to run from shell [14:29] Get a list of files on a website ? [14:29] But I want an interface as shelllike as possible. [14:29] oh, found it [14:29] youm: gnome-volume-control? [14:30] That can handle grahpics and sounds and such. [14:30] Apologize for the spam, but... I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 and I don't seem to have the latest version of Ubuntu Software Center, how can I update it? [14:30] more like changing switching hardware [14:30] Arachon: what's your v. no? [14:30] somethinginteres: For Ubuntu or USC? [14:30] Arachon: both pls [14:31] Hi there ! [14:31] Somelauw, you can always launch firefox without gnome, just using an other desktop environment (like xfce or fluxbox), but you cannot launch firefox inside a terminal’s window or inside a TTY [14:31] somethinginteres: Ubuntu is 10.4 as mentioned, and USC is 2.0.7 [14:32] drat didn't work [14:32] I want to create multiple folders with a random number as a name (between 1000000000 and 9999999999) how can I do that in the command line [14:32] whenever I unmute the volume the entire system freezes forever [14:32] can any one please help me , my panel icons are moving around by them self even if i lock them [14:32] Arachon: I'm running 10.10 so not sure but any SC updates should come through the update manager.. System---> Admin --> Update Manager [14:32] Though on a very old knoppix there was a game (frozen bubble) that ran in graphic mode without needing X, but I’ve seen that only once and never since [14:33] how do i get a list off all files in a website? dont want the files.. just a list of all the files on that website [14:33] Have been running the update manager... I suppose it could be something related to EasyPeasy in that case. I'll head over to their IRC-channel instead [14:33] and the webcam just shows blank when I fire it up [14:33] google search shows that they appear to have mixed up [14:33] !seen bazhang [14:33] I have no seen command [14:34] Oer: what up bro [14:36] I have just got a new keyboard with multimedia buttons, which I love. However, there is also a suspend button, which I keep hitting by accident. what is the preferred way to disable this button? I don't want to disable suspend completely, just the button on the keyboard === petr is now known as aaa === aaa is now known as azimug [14:38] ne2k, try re-mapping it using keyboard prefrences via system - prefrences [14:38] ne2k, or dig it out with a knife, whatever makes you feel better [14:39] what does it mean when folders are highlighted green using ls? [14:39] Wyn: #2 option should do it! LOL! :P [14:39] Wyn: what do you mean by "keyboard preferences"? There is "keyboard" and "keyboard shortcuts". Under keyboard shortcuts this key doesn't appear to be mentioned [14:39] * Wyn thinks it is a good standby [14:39] ne2k, shortcuts === bnut_ is now known as bnut [14:40] is there a way to transfer data between 2 hardrives on the same pc??

[14:41] ne2k: so the 2nd harddrive has to formatted to linux via gparted? [14:41] hi [14:42] Wyn: there is no suspend action in keyboard shortcuts [14:42] can someone explain how to set up ssh securely? [14:42] bnut: Try to check file permissions. It should tell you what. It may have X bit set... [14:42] why does wubi want to install 10.10? [14:42] *10.04 [14:42] marine1: it has to be formatted to something if you want to put files on it [14:42] # PasswordAuthentication yes [14:42] and so on in /etc/ssh [14:42] ne2k: yes [14:42] why does wubi want to install 10.04?

[14:43] milamber: Mainly because it doesn't look like the one in 10.10 [14:44] i got wubi straight from ubuntu's main site 10mins ago somethinginteres [14:44] And according to Wiki, latest version is 3.0.7 [14:44] Wyn: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9078805&postcount=2 might help [14:44] ne2k: yes the reason I'm asking is because my harddrive is starting to a funny noise when it first boots [14:44] Arachon: v10.04 right? I don't think it will get the one like in 10.10.... [14:44] ne2k: is there a procdure I must do when I first install this 2nd harddrive?? [14:44] how can i get wubi to install 10.10? [14:44] Arachon: ok, it received a major overhaul btw 10.04 and 10.10, they are moving away from synaptic. i have an up to date system and i am running 2.0.7 also [14:45] marine1: partition and format it [14:45] <^Alita> hi to all === Hekos is now known as hekos [14:45] <^Alita> i'm trying to install 10.10 via pendrive [14:45] Cradam: so you got the latest wubi and it is trying to d/l 10.04? hmm the only time this happened to me was the wrong version. The latest is tough to find sometimes other than that, not sure [14:45] milamber: So essentially you're saying that I can't update USC independently? [14:45] ne2k: with a livecd or Gparted??

(i'd recommend something higher than the default nmap scan - it will keep you safe from most script kiddies) [15:13] rohitnikcool: its prolly your isp playing with you I get it all I the time cuz I download a lot [15:13] ^Alita: how did you do the stick?

I know there is c-m-v for scroll forward. [15:14] marine1: like I said, you're confused. you don't format a drive, you format a partition on a disk [15:14] ne2k: let's move on to the 2nd issue did you look at my pastbin [15:15] Koheleth: i thinks there is no issue of isp because i am using windows too and on it net works pretty good. [15:15] marine1: you seem to be labouring under the impression that it is my duty to help you [15:15] milamber: so when i connect from putty i have to setup an RSA key, but to actually login its just asking for a password as before [15:15] <^Alita> ERROR: no configuration file found - no default or ui configuration directive found [15:15] how is that more secure [15:15] ne2k: i came here to get help not to you specifaclly [15:15] rohitnikcool: highly unlikly is a Ubuntu thing [15:15] !resetpanels [15:15] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:16] !resetpanel [15:16] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [15:16] the rsa key is for encrypting the data?

[15:16] i see [15:16] Koheleth: do u have any solution to this problem? if yes help [15:16] but whats to stop someone brute forcing the password?

[15:31] Flynsarmy, is c a real share, or is that the default administrative share on all drives? that might make a difference, but i'm no expert in Windows interoperability. Best of luck. [15:32] ZykoticK9: it's the share name of the C drive. others include /m and /f [15:32] ZykoticK9: they were owrking back when the account had a pw [15:32] milamber, what i mean is the output colors say i type in the terminal sudo apt-get update > than all links one color errors another etc [15:33] Heya, I just installed ubuntu 10.10 and the nm-applet worked just fine but suddenly it doesn't appear in the panel anymore... if I start it via console it works just fine. it's also in autostart, but it doesn't seem to be started. any ideas?

The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [15:56] None of those would rip my dvd's so I figured it was the disc too, so I ripped the vob to my comp and now need a software to read them and reencode them. [15:56] Yuyo, after you add partner, don't forget to run "sudo apt-get update" then you'll find the sun-java-* stuff. [15:56] oh, ok, thanks :) [15:56] anonymous, if the vob is still encrypted you will be out of luck i guess [15:57] ZykoticK9, is that the same as: http://www.clickonf5.org/linux/how-install-sun-java-ubuntu-1004-lts/7777 ? because it did that already, but haven't run update yet [15:57] anonymous, otherwise transcode, vlc, mencoder === SmExX is now known as SmExX`Afk [15:57] Yuyo, those directions seem to add partner for Lucid - are you using 10.04? [15:58] nope, 10.10 [15:58] Yuyo, if you haven't run update - then you haven't actually changed anything yet. -- if you are using 10.10 - then use the directions ubottu gave, and not that sites. [15:59] can i undo what that site told me to do? [16:00] Yuyo, check your /etc/apt/sources.list for anything with "lucid" in the name, or "partner" for that matter. Hopefully it will be there. [16:00] hi i am on windows and i just downloaded 10.10 [16:00] ZykoticK9, so just erase those? [16:00] Is sshd compiled with tcp_wrappers by default?

[16:19] ZykoticK9: i am trying to install broadcom wireless b43x. i cant load the drivers as it is looking for ath_pci [16:19] I’ve not tried yet [16:19] hm. New to this, where can I go to ask about a Flash prob with Ubuntu ? [16:19] but obviously it shouldn’t [16:19] ZykoticK9: yes. the modules does not exist [16:19] save a miracle [16:19] rsv, oh sorry - i have a very similar issue with 10.04 on a minimal cd - can't get ethernet working on my eeepc 1005pe. [16:20] Tink__89: what is your problem with Flash? === petr is now known as __bro__ [16:21] wyclif, well I'm using Chrome which should have Flash built in if I read correctly. So I did about:plugins but Flash isn't in there so couldn't follow Adobe's instructions. I've downloaded both APT for Ubuntu 9.04+ and .deb for Ubuntu 8.04+ .. Neither work, I'm just trying to watch YouTube lol [16:21] I hope at least reinstalling ubuntu will work [16:21] does ssh and vnc work as usual if I install Squid - proxy server? [16:21] because this is _really_ not my day [16:22] not that I need windows much anyway [16:22] did you need anything on your windows partition? [16:22] Tink__89, easiest way to install a working flash is to install ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:22] eiku: I know where you're coming from. The past two days weren't my day at all either! [16:22] m4xx, not really, I use it to test my site with IE [16:22] and test my app on windows [16:22] then i would just format the whole drive [16:22] Tink__89: do you know how to install software via Synaptic? Open Synaptic and enter "Flash" in search. Look for the main Flash package and make sure it's checked. If not, install it. [16:22] partition it with w/e you want then re-install both [16:23] i think you need to start with windows though [16:23] but if I had stayed in bed 1 hour longer this morning, I wouldn’t have had the series of misfortunes that led me there… [16:23] unless you use two disks [16:23] ZykoticK9, I'm totally new to Ubuntu, only installed it yest. So I have no idea how to find that lols [16:23] wyclif, thanks I will give that a go :) [16:23] I agree... Format the entire drive, install windows, then install ubuntu leaving windows with very little room... [16:23] i believe windows want's to be the first partition on the disk [16:23] m4xx, the problem is, I have a lot of data on my /home [16:23] *wants not wasn't [16:23] Tink__89: If you can wait a sec I can tell you what the exact package is [16:23] If you install windows first grub works perfectly out of the box [16:23] and no sensible way to backup it [16:24] wyclif, it is checked =S [16:24] adobe-flashplugin [16:25] because I use a UTF8 charset / ext4 and my external hard drive uses iso8859-1 / fat32. every time I’ve tried a global backup it has failed totally [16:25] Tink__89, flashplugin-nonfree is a more common option [16:25] Tink__89: flashplugin-installer? [16:25] Tink__89, ^ use wyclif's [16:25] wyclif, ok I will give that a go heh [16:27] wyclif, installed that, still missing it says [16:27] Tink__89, did you restart the browser? also try another firefox. [16:28] hi. how can i *completely* disable my laptop's internal microphone? muting it in the sound preferences does not have any effect whatsoever. [16:28] ZykoticK9, yeah I restarted it, and I'm using Chrome [16:28] Tink__89, i know, so test if flash is working in firefox [16:28] ooh [16:29] hi [16:29] ZykoticK9, yes it works in Firefox, but I don't particularly like using Firefox, it's too slow lol. [16:29] Tink__89, then rather then using Google's proprietary Chrome consider using the open source Chromium (it's in the default repo) [16:30] ZykoticK9, I'm using Chromium Web Browser, got it from Synaptiks [16:30] Tink__89, then don't say you are using Chrome ('cause you aren't) [16:31] ZykoticK9, lol I didn't know there was a difference hehe [16:31] There's a difference... big ones [16:31] a lot of people think the names are interchangable... [16:31] hi. Nor ubuntu installer nor windows detects my new SATA hdd. Bios does. Hdd is western digital caviar blue 500gb. I just bought and plugged now... [16:31] christopher, I didn't know there was two versions till just now lol. === enigm4`away is now known as enigm4 [16:32] yup... it happens quite often [16:32] is supposed to be de master drive, and the only hdd. [16:32] Felix00: the drive needs to be formated to be detected afaik [16:32] Try GParted or Fdisk to fix the HD problem [16:32] Tink__89, this if from ActionParsnip (a regular here) - it removes all the APT installable flash versions and reinstalls only one http://paste.ubuntu.com/551530/ [16:33] Wrong somethinginteres [16:33] ZykoticK9, I take it I run that in Terminal ? [16:33] Tink__89, ya [16:34] how to upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.10 ? [16:34] the drive is partitioned and formatterd during both installs (should be) [16:34] ZykoticK9, at the end of that command I see a lot of "Could not get lock" ... Can't be good ? [16:34] how to upgrade from ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.10 using shell ? [16:34] Felix00: OK then, well christopher's advice stands Gparted sohuld be of help (though it might be an idea to get the latest version - I used it the other day and had trouble before upgrading) [16:34] Tink__89, close any synaptic/update/usc windows [16:35] ok [16:35] !upgrade | AnirbanHazra [16:35] AnirbanHazra: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [16:35] !eol | AnirbanHazra might need this too [16:35] AnirbanHazra might need this too: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [16:35] cristopher, nope; the proper ubiquity does not identify my hdd. Gparted cant do anything.

[16:56] it's you [16:57] why don't you tell us your problems and we'll try to help [16:57] andyman99008: it shouldn't be (unless you are using 11.04 alpha, of course) [16:57] Well, sometimes it randomly flashes. All open windows etc. flash constantly for a couple of seconds, then it stops [16:57] andyman99008: what video card do you have ? [16:58] also, when I try to drag and drop, letting go of the mouse button sometimes does not release it [16:58] Hello ? [16:58] hello [16:58] I have an nvidia gt 230m [16:58] hey, Im running an ubuntu image on an ec2 instance. I'm testing my server on it. In VM it supported around 28K conns and 28K requests/second [16:58] in the instance it only supports about 1000 connections [16:58] I have ulimit -n 999999 [16:58] Hmmm not sure on the support on that, andyman99008 are you using the hardware drivers tool to get the correct drivers ? [16:58] could there be something else that's limiting it [16:58] clarity_: talk to amazon [16:59] that's what everyone says [16:59] :-( [16:59] Hey guys, would the 64bit version of ubuntu be the reason for it acting buggy? [16:59] clarity_: then maybe you should do it [17:00] andyman99008: not really, please respond to my question about using the hardware drivers tool [17:00] clarity_, what has ulimit to do with that? [17:00] Sorry i didn't see, is that already installed? [17:01] andyman99008: don't think that could be a 64bit issue...did u try tweaking the mouse settings? [17:01] sam-_- ulimit sets the number of filedescriptors you can have [17:01] andyman99008: go to the system -> administration -> hardware driversn menu, have you activated the nvidia display drivers in that tool ? [17:02] bonjoyee: Yes, but that wasn't my main problem, just the overall bugginess is quite disturbing [17:02] ikonia: yes I believe so, it prompted me when I first ran ubuntu [17:02] andyman99008: it is worth checking, launch that application and see [17:03] ikonia: I don't have a hardware drivers menu, I have an option for additional drivers [17:03] andyman99008: that I believe is the correct option, use that [17:04] howdy [17:04] I click into that, it tells me this driver is activated and currently in use [17:04] andyman99008: ok, that's a good thing [17:04] is there a way to set my dvd drive's retion to ZERO or ALL using regionset? [17:05] anyone use ubuntu for gaming? [17:05] ikonia: Should I download the drivers directly from nvidia site?

I already put the DNS address on my client as secondary. how to fix it? [17:18] aeryio: cat /var/log/auth.log | grep sshd [17:18] aeryio: What do you mean ssh history? Just who logged in at what time? [17:18] bonjoyee: So you're saying drag from rhythmbox into the file manager? [17:18] anon33_: yes [17:18] Correct edbian [17:19] aeryio: what bonjoyee said [17:19] bonjoyee: I'll try that.

[17:45] hi there [17:45] anyone have any knowledge of me-tv or kaffeiene [17:45] EnigmaticCoder: think about it. in 500 years will XP boot the latest computing device? no way. will it boot a netbook released tomorrow? probably. so sometime between tomorrow and 500 years WindowsXP will no longer be a viable platform. and it's probably closer to tomorrow than it is to 500 years. [17:45] lol [17:45] msoft has threatenng to dump xp for years [17:46] mneptok: best example is running win 95 on current hardware lol [17:47] anyone know anything about me-tv or kaffeine for dvb-t with usb stick [17:47] mneptok: That's true. Fortunately I primarily use Ubuntu, but I still use XP for games. To me, new Microsoft products have confusing user interfaces, but I was hoping I'd be able to keep XP around... [17:47] Could you run XP on a 500 year old computer? [17:47] kabjj, depends on the computer ^^ [17:47] kabjj: yes, but it will be slow. [17:48] How about the top of the line 500 year old computer [17:48] windows 7, although not an operating i would choose to use as my primary, is not so terrible. i think its worth dual booting. [17:48] * mneptok plays Borderlands on a complex system of cast iron gears [17:48] the day they start making thing difficult for their xp customers is they msoft loses millions of ppl [17:48] Which would be what? a mahogany abacus?

[17:51] i dunno. apt-get-nethack-america [17:51] FaiLican: its in the repositories [17:51] mvanle: not a subject we speak of here, Hacking/Piracy is illegal, and comes with some very dire consequences... Whereas if you want to learn to program, there are lots of good books out there [17:52] GeekSquid: back in the day there was talk about white and grey and black hackers. [17:52] !ot | mvanle [17:52] mvanle: #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! [17:52] ubuntu is not about hacking people, its about helping people [17:52] This conversation ends now please. === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [17:53] - please [17:53] about helping people to find the amulet of yendor! [17:54] evenin all [17:54] hi guys is there a way to swich on the fan manually? [17:54] wildc4rd: good evening, Is there something we can help you with? [17:55] Is there a command to list all commands and command line programs? [17:55] why does help talk so long to load [17:55] geekbri: lol [17:55] like 30 seconds [17:55] crazy [17:55] any idea? [17:55] EnigmaticCoder, why would you want that? lol [17:55] EnigmaticCoder: try help [17:55] EnigmaticCoder: ;) [17:55] sudo apt-get autoremove mvanle did the trick! Heh heh... [17:55] EnigmaticCoder, you can check every directory in your path [17:56] Anyone know of a passive interface monitor? [17:56] EnigmaticCoder, and then there are the built in bash ones [17:56] ... [17:56] anonymous: what is that ? [17:56] anonymous, to monitor what? [17:56] anonymous, speed? connections? [17:56] data? [17:56] Maybe I'll just use my old copy of linux in a nutshell :\ [17:56] EnigmaticCoder: http://ss64.com/bash/ [17:57] itaylor57: ty [17:57] I need a piece of software to monitor a ethernet adapter. [17:57] EnigmaticCoder: one thing you can do to see a majority is just ls /usr/bin then ls /bin, that'll give you a chunk but there's more elsewhere, you can also use apropos for looking for something you want, then to learn about each command use man [command] [17:57] itaylor57: that's what I'm looking for [17:57] EnigmaticCoder: np [17:57] EnigmaticCoder, if you are trying to learn to use the command line, getting a list of every commadn would be crazy [17:57] anonymous: what about wireshark [17:57] how have I switch on the fan Manually?! [17:57] I have found the book: "Ubuntu Linux Toolbox" Wiley-Pub. the best for command line goodness... [17:58] anonymous: another thought would be etherape, more of a visual representation of what is going on on your network [17:58] anonymous, what about a ethernet adapter? [17:58] hi all, I have a quick question, I'm wanting to speed my computer up, its fairly old and its getting annoying how slow it gets sometimes, should I upgrade ram, my video card, both, or something I dont know about? :P [17:58] smw: How did you go about learning the command line? [17:58] Do those programs passivly monitor the adaptar? I want to still be able to use the device, but monitor the traffic and last i checked wireshark didnt do that. [17:58] a7i3n, Is the PDF available on line ? [17:59] EnigmaticCoder, trial and error and practice [17:59] anonymous, wireshark IS passive [17:59] anonymous: wireshark does exactly that. [17:59] EnigmaticCoder, If you know Unix you know Linux pretty much [17:59] ajwill, the answer is: it depends [17:59] iftop and iptraf are pretty good as well. [17:59] ajwill: I think upgrading processor is best option [17:59] ajwill, tell us your computer specs, maybe? [17:59] EnigmaticCoder, some parts of the advanced bash scripting guide may help. But you learn by seeing examples and making your own. [17:59] Unix for dummies you just need to know a few commands to move around the operating system [18:00] okay well my computer specs: I dont know the processor, I believe I have a 60mb video card, and 700 some odd mb of ram [18:00] EnigmaticCoder, the bottom line is you need time, google, and patience :-) [18:00] anonymous: yes, using wireshark you can do all of that [18:00] anonymous, wired can do it via promiscuous mode which can listen to packets not directly sent to the device MAC address itself, wireless can do both promiscuous and rfmon but they are specifically driver/chipset specific. [18:00] and sometimes the commands in Unix/Linux can be applied to Windows command line usage too [18:00] oh and an 80GB hard drive, the computer's a dell dimension 3000 [18:00] smw: very true [18:00] ajwill: are you running ubuntu? [18:01] hm okay thank you duron23, GeekSquid, Rumpel, luketheduke smw, and psycho_oreos, ill check it out. [18:01] I don't know about a PDF you will have to check the publisher... [18:01] GeekSquid: yes, I'm dualbooting ubuntu 10.10 maverik and windows xp, and I have a small knoppix on a pen drive [18:01] how can i connect to another machine using VNC without having to enter the keyring passwd? i can ssh into it, but i cant VNC to it [18:01] #archlinux-fr [18:01] a7i3n, Just google the book and put *.pdf in the title and see what comes up [18:01] ajwill, cat /proc/cpuinfo |less will tell you the name of your processor [18:02] Sometimes that is how you can find a lot of computer books FREE online via Google [18:02] hehe you just answered your own question :) [18:02] anonymous, fyi promisc is very network dependent as well, you can't receive packets if the device for example you're connected to on wired is a switch, a hub will tell however [18:02] sam-_-_: where would it say? in front of processor, it says 0 [18:03] does 10.10 not come with gparted installed by default anymore? has it been replaced with another tool? [18:03] oh found it I believe, Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz [18:03] ajwill: model name [18:03] Any type of development suite for coding in ubuntu? [18:03] psycho_oreos im setting up a ubuntu server box as a media server/ personal web server and I want port monitoring. [18:03] i thought older version of ubuntu had gparted installed by default. on the live cd [18:03] ajwill, y that's it [18:03] ResQue: it is on the live cd, gets removed on install AIUI [18:03] okay, so out of those specs.. what should be upgraded to get my comp running better? [18:03] ajwill: how much RAM have you got ? [18:04] !coding | ner0x lots of um here [18:04] ajwill, upgrading such an old pc might be more expensive than buying a new one [18:04] ner0x lots of um here: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator [18:04] 700 some odd megs [18:04] ner0x: eclipse, emacs, the terminal and gedit [18:04] ajwill: basically which program do you want to run faster ? [18:04] hi [18:04] ResQue: its on the live cd, just not on the actual install [18:04] sam-_-_: not considering the fact that my next comp is gunna be a mac haha [18:04] anonymous, on a wired network I presume? well you can but promisc mode won't help much [18:04] ajwill: with that little bit of ram, you might want to consider Lubuntu... [18:05] ajwill, so then why do you want to upgrade? [18:05] duron23: uhm, everything in general, I guess how to say it would I would like to just be able to do more things at once [18:05] ajwill: then consider adding more RAM [18:05] because, my computer's painfully slow and money's really tight atm, so I would like to have a well-working computer up until I can get a mac [18:05] psycho_oreos problem I have with wireshark is it always tells me their are no interfaces that can be monitored, I was more looking for something that could be run from terminal. [18:05] if I want to start a game in termianl mode I get [18:05] error [18:05] ajwill: and increasing your swam partition [18:05] ajwill: If money is tight don't buy a mac. [18:05] include in enviorment variable path [18:06] anonymous, start wireshark with "gksu wireshark" and you may have interfaces [18:06] edbian: its only gunna be for a while until I can get a new job [18:06] Buy a thinkpad!!! [18:06] ajwill: if you want games to run faster, consider adding a good graphics card [18:06] anyone ever played singstar deluxe and had probles with sound ? [18:06] ajwill: Oh i see [18:06] anonymous, you need to be root to have more access, from terminal there's tshark, there's tcpdump, etc [18:06] Thinkpads run well under Ubuntu [18:06] a7i3n: no longer under that name ... they are Lenovo now [18:07] whats the ubuntu gaming channel on IRC? [18:07] ajwill: have you looked at Lubuntu?... it's a little easier on the resources than Ubuntu... [18:07] how can i disable the stupid keyring? every time i try to vnc into my machine i have to enter the keyring password [18:07] Still called thinkpads Geeksquid... Love that name BTW [18:07] Hi [18:07] duron23: I dont do like... any gaming at all, other than the ocasional online flash game, and my swap partition is about 4gb cuz I originally planned to upgrade my ram [18:07] lubuntu works great on 256Mb ram [18:07] a7i3n: IBM moved the brand to Lenovo in 2009 .. and I bought one, and I love it [18:08] ajwill: then just upgrade the ram for now [18:08] at this page, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ , I've seen that kernel 2.6.37 is just for natty [18:08] Yes Geeksuid they are 7337 [18:08] duron23: if money is tight, i doubt that is much of an option(he mentioned that) [18:08] ajwill: as KM0201 said consider using lubuntu [18:08] can it be installed on lucid? [18:08] are there any plans to have lubuntu become an official part of the ubuntu derivatives? [18:08] do you guys know anywhere I can buy a laptop with not pre-installed windows? [18:08] a new laptop* [18:08] KM0201: he can try in amazon or ebay :) [18:08] duron23: okay, and no thanks... I finally have ubuntu running everything I want :P I've started from scratch probably 20+ times in the past few months... [18:08] Hey guys, i'm getting some funny text rendering, any ideas? http://oi51.tinypic.com/2q9kzls.jpg [18:08] mneumonic, lubuntu needs to have some gui tools created before it could become "official" [18:09] ajwill, if your money is tight then i wouldn't upgrade. no single upgrade will give you decent performance improvements [18:09] ajwill, it's just too old [18:09] duron23: very true... [18:09] sam-_-_: so should I just cope with it until I can get a mac? [18:09] FaiLican: ggsdata if you live in sweden [18:10] ajwill, that's what i would do [18:10] FaiLican: system76 [18:10] joelsjq: okey ill check that [18:10] ajwill, sorry to disappoint :-) [18:10] FaiLican: i was gonna suggest system76 also... if you're in the US.. [18:10] itaylor57: ok [18:10] bencahill: see this https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa [18:10] is there anything that will open .sitx files in ubuntu? [18:10] KM0201: no swe, ill try ggsdata [18:10] nah not a dissapointment in the least, I got advice, which means i got what I came for! [18:10] ajwill: honestly yes [18:10] oh ok. [18:10] mythril: bless hex editor :P [18:10] Geeksquid: on kernel ppa, 2.6.37 is just for NN? [18:10] okay one last question, is ubuntu bootable on mac? cuz once I do get one, I'm not sure if I'll miss ubuntu or not, cuz I know I do REALLY like how customizable it is and compiz fusion and all that [18:11] is there anything that will uncompress .sitx files in ubuntu? [18:11] If you have an Intel based machine it will boot... [18:11] at macintel i guess what yes [18:11] andrewax: look at that link I gave benchill [18:11] ajwill: yes, Macs are the same architecture as PCs. Ubuntu works on them. [18:11] GeekSquid: isn't that for natty? [18:11] awesome! thanks for all your help guys! [18:11] Macs are P.C's at this point in time. [18:11] bencahill: try upgrading your wine installation [18:11] bencahill: there is a backport [18:11] ajwill, unless you are gettin an old mac?? [18:12] duron23: I'm getting some of the same in (native) openoffice.org [18:12] riktking: nah, I plan on buying the new macbook air [18:12] bencahill: ooh [18:12] There are PPC versions of Linux... not sure which are current however... [18:12] ajwill, then as everyone had said, its basicaly a pc now [18:12] okay, great! [18:13] a7i3n: #ubuntu-powerpc for that [18:13] Hi, Im getting a "System information disabled due to load higher than 1" message upon reboot. I have no idea what causes this. Any ideas? [18:13] there was an ubuntu ppc version [18:13] thanks for your help everyone, I guess I will just save that extra money and get a mac asap :) [18:13] I Ubuntu-PPC up to date Geeksquid? [18:13] duron23: yeah :-0 [18:13] bencahill, you should consider switching to Libreoffice (it's in the repos now) as it's certainly the future [18:13] ZykoticK9: I thought it wasn't even stable yet? [18:14] There is also a distro called Yellowdog, but last I checked it wasn't up to date... [18:14] bencahill: ZykoticK9 but he is getting that on other app too I guess [18:14] bencahill, technically you are correct, it's still beta [18:14] duron23: GREETINGS DUDE !!! [18:14] glaceman: hey welcome back dude [18:14] duron23, i have no idea what bencahill issue even is - was just commending on the openoffice part [18:14] a7i3n: yellowdog was a distro for the PS2 .. and is not ubuntu based [18:15] ZykoticK9: just as I did for wine lol [18:15] ZykoticK9: openoffice is so slow (wouldn't think libre would be faster, but i may be wrong), msoffice 2k in wine is much much faster, and enough for my needs :) [18:15] I know that Geeksquid [18:15] anyone knows a messenger for ubuntu with video (camera) support [18:15] glaceman: what happened to your sound issue ? [18:15] glaceman, skype [18:15] glaceman, empathy with google talk have video [18:15] I've been using linux since Linux-PPC days. Used minix prior to that. [18:15] glaceman: as does ekiga [18:16] man I love this irc channel [18:16] hi all [18:16] glaceman, skype empathy [18:16] duron23: me2 [18:16] I'm having some problems with a couple of rfswitches that have not been implemented in the driver I am using, more specifically those for the 3g modem, for bluetooth and wifi all is good. Is there anyway I could set them up without recompiling the kernel and applying the patch? [18:16] glaceman: also theres the google audio/video plugin [18:16] hi, how can i lose windows and all its files and everything related to it, AFTER i install ubuntu? [18:16] a7i3n, what are the linux-ppc days? [18:16] pr0ph3t: what hardware? [18:17] Chelu: Delete that partition and remove the entry from grub [18:17] GeekSquid, asus laptop UL30A [18:17] Chelu: format that partition [18:17] Chelu, if you are SURE you only want Ubuntu just install it using Entire disk [18:17] pr0ph3t: specifically the 3G modem [18:17] GeekSquid, there is a patch for it, yes the 3g modem [18:17] i need help with serial connection. anyone good with it? [18:18] Linux-PPC was a Power PC distro for macintosh in the 90's sam... [18:18] pr0ph3t: specifically the 3G modem hardware chip identifier [18:18] GeekSquid, but it hasn't been merged to mainline yet [18:18] you guys lost me. im a retard. complete noob. im in ubuntu now, can u tell me precisely? i already installed ubuntu [18:18] pr0ph3t: without patching I doubt that is possible [18:18] mirthman, i may help but i'm not an expert [18:18] a7i3n, ah. didn't know. thx [18:18] How do I get to recovery mode (boot without X)? [18:18] It's really ancient history at this point sam :) [18:19] GeekSquid, the soft and HW switches [18:19] Chelu, go to gparted and delete win partition [18:19] hi guys, i've installed xubuntu with an encrypted full disk lvm... upon boot as expected it asks me for the encryption passphrase to decrypt the system... is there a way to make this operation automatic or via certificate rather than password... the machine is a server so I cannot be there to type in a password everytime i want to reboot... any ideas? [18:19] Chelu: then u should probably keep windows for some days;) [18:19] Chelu: Do you have gparted installed? [18:19] !gparted | Chelu [18:19] Chelu: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [18:19] buggerme_: pick recovery mode from grub menu? [18:19] Chelu: it's in System -> [18:19] duron23, thanks mate [18:19] sam, can you PM me? [18:19] duron23: [18:19] back got disconnected [18:19] pr0ph3t: if I don't know who made the 3G modem (it wasn't asus- they don't make them) and the model of the 3g modem I cannot help you... please answer the question [18:20] i dont want windows.. well ill look after this gparted... [18:20] hope it works [18:20] thanks [18:20] any messenger for ubuntu that support video, (for msn) [18:20] glaceman_: what happened to your sound issue [18:20] KM0201: The grub menu is not visible [18:20] GeekSquid, it's Hawei [18:20] glaceman_, amsn [18:20] does anybody know what the message "System information disabled due to load higher than 1" means ? It appears upon login [18:20] duron23: nothing still the same, headphones only [18:20] pr0ph3t: you are welcome [18:20] anyone? :o [18:20] buggerme_: start hitting the shit key after the bios screen... and you'll get grub. [18:20] glaceman_: hmm [18:20] GeekSquid, let me find exactly the code [18:21] ive seen a lot of threads on internet have such an issue, still hard to fix i guess [18:21] KM0201, which key? :D [18:21] rumpe1: shift [18:21] isn't it? [18:21] rumpe1: lol, just saw my typo [18:21] glaceman_: you need to wait for next iteration of kernel/ubuntu [18:21] ty [18:21] GeekSquid, it's Huawei EM770 [18:21] how do I change sh to point to /bin/bash instead of dash? [18:21] duron23: IF FIXED :S [18:22] glaceman_: what !!! how ? [18:22] IF FIXED in the next ubuntu version [18:22] glaceman_: sry, read incorrectly [18:22] daedaluz, sounds ... dangerous... [18:22] hi, I have an odd request, I installed jolicloud on a mini pc which sits under my tv, I Did this in the uk, where my brother had a keyboard and mouse, now I'm sitting in spain, with just a mouse and a macbook, I dont have a keyboard, the bios on the mini pc requires me to press f11 to select the usb boot device, so I'm screwed I think [18:22] rumpe1, +1 === james is now known as Guest65153 [18:23] what I would like to do, is from inside jolicloud, boot the usb key as if it was installing normally, is that possible? [18:23] hey people [18:23] what's the fastest way to make this go away? "zsh: command not found: testparm" [18:23] duron23, I have the kernel sources from git and the patch is a git diff in theory, but I am not sure how to download the actual patch to be honest [18:23] I dont want to go and buy a keyboard if I can get away from it [18:24] pr0ph3t: does the card work? I mean, are you able to connect to the internet from within ubuntu? [18:24] I realise it's a weird thing to ask, but I was wondering can linux boot another linux from inside itself? [18:24] chrisalexthomas: I don't think you can get away with it without keyboard [18:24] duron23: :( I was fairly sure of that anyway, I was hoping for someone to surprise me more than anything [18:24] chrisalexthomas, yes.. in a virtual machine [18:25] rumpe1: ah, but it's not a virtual machine, it's a real machine [18:25] ................ [18:25] or do you mean create a virtual machine which uses the hdd of the real pc as a disk [18:25] then boot the usb and install directly to the disk? [18:25] chrisalexthomas: this is my take on it, let see if anyone else has any other ideas, hope you see keep everyting going :) [18:25] GeekSquid, I can use it on windows yes, I can talk to it to a certain extent but rfkills list all only gives me the wifi and bluetooth so the 3g modem is off I guess? [18:25] chrisalexthomas, for example [18:25] rumpe1: good idea, thanks for that [18:26] hello again [18:26] GeekSquid, I can talk to it in ubuntu I mean, there is a git-diff patch that implements the two switches I need, but it hasn't been merged to mainline kernel yet [18:26] its a very very common thing chrisalexthomas [18:26] howdy [18:26] theconartist: ? sarcasm I suppose lol [18:26] hey does anyone here run ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition? [18:27] hello [18:27] glicks: i do [18:27] ubuntu: clever name === wemaflo is now known as wema|off [18:27] glicks: ye [18:27] edbian, whats the dif from the regular edition? [18:27] just the interface? [18:27] glicks: pretty much [18:27] glicks: of course that's a huge difference [18:27] can you run multiple programs? [18:27] glick, yes [18:28] glicks: yep [18:28] is it better then running the regular edition on a netbook? [18:28] glick, personally I install desktop on my EEE Netbook then simply install Unity - so I can choose to use either on bootup [18:28] cause right now i run regular edition 09.10 on my netbook [18:28] im installing ubuntu 10.10 on virtual vox and need to solve a thing. im runing the install but wen i get to select and install software it fails any help please :) [18:29] glicks: it's opinion if it's better [18:30] ZykoticK9, which one do you use more often? and why would you want to switch between them? [18:30] pr0ph3t: I think you are waiting for that to be merged, you would have a huge learning curve to compile a new kernel, and that is beyond the scope of the help you can receive here. ... however you can try a newer kernel from ppa to see if it has been implemented into later kernels... see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas or just the kernel ppa here https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa [18:30] carliukx: what kind of error do you get? === derick_ is now known as Guest82702 [18:30] glick, i've stopped using netbook - i find it too limited === Guest82702 is now known as derick__ [18:30] hello, i have a laptop with a vga port, and a lcd with hdmi port, i bought a vga-hdmi cable, and ubuntu doesn't detect it, any help? [18:30] glicks -> netbook is less greater [18:31] ZykoticK9, netbooks themselves or the netbook OS [18:31] chasis: which is the video card ? [18:31] how do i move the contents of a folder instead of the folder itself? for example, i want to: sudo mv /home/andy/joomla/ /var/www -- but i just want the contents of the joomla to end up in /var/www not like /var/www/joomla [18:31] glick, no i love my netbook - i'm talking about UNE [18:31] ZykoticK9, in what way is it limiting? [18:31] GeekSquid, I am running 2.6.37 at the moment and sadly the patch hasn't been implemented, I have compiled a kernel already but I don't know how to apply the patch to it [18:31] chasis, usually the laptops have screen selection key on the keyboard.. something like Fn+F2 or something, have a look at your laptop's instruction manual [18:32] AndyGraybeal: mv /home/andy/joomla/ [18:32] GeekSquid, I know it is patch p0 < file but I don't know which file :P [18:32] AndyGraybeal: sudo mv -r /home/andy/joomla/* /var/www [18:32] does anyone know if nvidia hdmi audio is supported?

[18:34] Bodsda: have you tried to google it? [18:34] !dontzap | Bodsda read it! [18:35] Bodsda read it!: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [18:35] GeekSquid, I have git but I don't know how to download the patch === squishy is now known as SquishyNotHere [18:35] pr0ph3t: beyond me, and like I said beyond the scope for this room ... try #ubuntu-kernel [18:35] GeekSquid, will do thanks === RonaldH is now known as Ronald [18:36] cheers ZykoticK9 [18:36] joelsjq: well, the box says intel atom d510, chipset: intel nm10 express, gpu: nvidia ion (sorry I said ion2 before) and it's all I know [18:37] check this thread, post 3: [18:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620926 [18:37] thanks [18:38] can run ubuntu off the ram on a netbook to see if i like it, like a live cd on a desktop or laptop? [18:38] weird, the box says ion, the hardware ion2, it's like they havent decided what to call it [18:38] my netbook has no cdro [18:38] cdrom [18:38] thanks guys, that worked like a charm. [18:38] glicks: sure, use a usb drive - www.ubuntu.com has instructions for creating it [18:38] glicks, liveUSB its called [18:38] glicks: usb [18:39] cool, ill check it out, thanks guys/gals [18:39] how do I host my own DNS server in ubuntu 10.10?

[18:40] thx man [18:40] Nanoha, try typing dmesg just after plugging it in and see if the kernel sees anything [18:40] ops [18:40] Nanoha: and lsusb [18:40] evilenko: Nanoha make sure it is detected by running 'lsusb' [18:40] evilenko: sorry for the ping [18:41] Nanoha: are other drives like flash drives being mounted?

[18:42] carliukx: what is the excact error-message you get [18:42] carliukx: youll need to be more specific, what error, what versions, steps already taken etc etc. [18:42] edbian: exactly what i was gonna say [18:42] do some one know what im doing wrong thanx! [18:43] Nanoh: if it has been on a windoze machine and then not safely removed then it might be a reason [18:43] chrisalexthomas: you could do a lshw just to be sure [18:44] it should show up near the end(at least it did for my nvidia card) [18:44] hi all. What is better to use? Ubuntu 10.10 or LTS? [18:45] bosyak_: depends [18:45] Nanoha: is that passport drive managed by some software app under Windows? I recall someone else having that problem, and they had to format the drive to make it work under linux [18:45] hi all guy [18:45] bosyak_: define better [18:45] root_: pretty bad idea to use irc as root. [18:45] bosyak_: if you want latest stuff, 10.10 [18:45] KM0201: no. linux has mounted it before just fine. Just for right now it's not seeing it. [18:45] root_, IRCing as root is a bad idea [18:45] ciao [18:45] I'm attempting to create a LIVE USB Ubuntu copy with persistence using the Ubuntu Live USB creator. I chose my options, made my drive, but when I restarted it said "SYSLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008 Copyright" boot: [18:45] bosyak_: if you want long support LTS [18:45] !list [18:45] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:45] lolol [18:45] hmm [18:45] root_: Danger Danger Wil Robinson, logging into chat as Root makes you vunerable to attack [18:46] duron23, It's my "working" tool at home and at work. I'm developer. [18:46] Attack away [18:46] NickyT, its not booting? [18:46] it is not [18:46] bosyak_: hmm [18:46] I created it so I could have persistence [18:46] maybe I should lower my settings [18:47] I chose 4 GB of the 8 GB to be used for documents [18:47] maybe chose a lower setting? [18:47] i just extracted a cpio archive of a system, which included a /proc. even as root, i cannot remove this directory. permission denied, its not mounted anywhere, how can i remove it? [18:47] bosyak_: are you ok with installing os every 6 months or so ? [18:47] NickyT, rather then persistence you might want to consider doing a true install onto the USB [18:47] Is that possible? [18:48] NickyT, yes - just be sure you move Grub to the USB - it will default to your HD [18:48] !persistance | NickyT [18:48] What's grub? [18:48] NickyT, that's the boot loader [18:48] right [18:48] NickyT: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [18:48] do you know what I did wrong with the live Creator? [18:49] duron23, if I go with 10.10 I'll have to upgrade every 6 month? [18:49] is lsusb supposed to just hang on the terminal? [18:49] bosyak_: 10.10 is supported for 18 months [18:49] bosyak_, no you dont HAVE to update [18:49] Nanoha, no, it sounds like there's something wrong with some connected device [18:49] bosyak_: there you go as GeekSquid said [18:50] glick, that's only partially correct. You do need to update every 18 months. [18:50] bosyak_: it about the support choice than anything else [18:50] So you guys work for Ubuntu? [18:50] ok i boot the iso file in virtualvox it starts with the menu and i choose install ubuntu its v. 10.10 it starts the process it does everything good configure network, user, password,but wen it gets to select and install software it starts to doit and after a few minutes it says its failed to retry from the menu. i retry and im just stuck there [18:50] NickyT: nope [18:50] What do I need to send a fax on Ubuntu? [18:50] ZykoticK9, yea, or you can run the last version which is 5 years [18:50] NickyT: nope, we volunteer [18:50] hey hello all guys [18:50] cool [18:50] pozic: I think there is fax sending software? If you have a computer why not just send an email? [18:51] How should I attempt the install? Right from inside Ubuntu? [18:51] NickyT: everything is based on community support ;) [18:51] edbian: the implied question was "which fax sending software?". [18:51] glicks, 5 years on the server version, 3 on desktop -- see !lts [18:51] pozic, also there are online services to send fax. so you just need a web browser [18:51] carliukx: have you checked the iso for consistacy? [18:51] pozic: yeah, no clue [18:52] NickyT: yes, but you will need a second pendrive [18:52] yes i did check from the menu to check it and it says its ok [18:52] yes I have one [18:52] I'm trying it from the boot screen "Install Ubuntu" [18:52] Or should I have done it inside [18:52] after it boots? [18:52] NickyT, are you installing netbook edition/ [18:52] ? [18:52] I'm installing 10.4 [18:52] sam-_-_: you have to pay for those services (typically per month) and you have less control and less privacy. [18:53] I don't know about a netbook edition [18:53] NickyT, sometime going to desktop and selecting the icon on desktop "install" works better then the "install ubuntu" from the first menu [18:53] NickyT: either way, make sure when you get to the partitioning step to select the "blank" pendrive [18:53] sam-_-_: I think Windows95 could do it. [18:53] good idea [18:53] NickyT, oh, i thought you were installing on a netbook [18:53] it is for a netbook yes [18:53] i also wonder why my iso image does not give me the option to run ubuntu it just give me the option to install? [18:53] I need help using Using FFmpeg and x264 to encode a video using CLI. I did everything on this forum post: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 but I want to cut and deinterlace the video that I am encoding. How can I do that within the CLI? [18:53] NickyT, thers a netbook optimized version [18:53] pozic, true. but ease of use :-). if you want privacy fax isn't the best idea in general [18:53] oh sweet [18:54] theres a link on the ubuntu main website [18:54] is it called SUPEROS? [18:54] carliukx: what is the filename of the iso? [18:54] carliukx, what ISO did you download? the Alternate perhaps? [18:54] no NickyT [18:54] I'm using SuperOS [18:54] because it saves time having to get all kinds of extras [18:54] http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook [18:54] does ubuntu webscale? [18:54] now all I want to do is tell it to remmeber my wifi drivers & I'm set [18:54] clarity_: webscale? is that a word? [18:54] edbian: yeah [18:54] edbian: yes, it is a word, no nobody wants to hear it. [18:54] clarity_: What does that mean? [18:55] does ubuntu run mongodb [18:55] ? [18:55] clarity_ is playing the troll. [18:55] pozic: have you looked at mgetty-fax? [18:55] has anyone managed to recover files from ext3? [18:55] http://nosql.mypopescu.com/post/1016320617/mongodb-is-web-scale <- it's from this video [18:55] amasdam, good luck! my general understanding is that it's not possible. [18:55] wyclif: I also have a Dell 3115CN (actual fax device). [18:55] install beginning [18:56] clarity_: simple answer, Yes, mongodb is available in the ubuntu repositories [18:56] wyclif, lol i doubt he wants this one [18:56] hello, how can I set my sound output to mono? Got only one speaker and vlc cannot downmix to mono apparently.. [18:56] yes it is the ubuntu10.10-alternate-1386 iso [18:56] ben_q: try running 'alsamixer' see if that can suffice [18:56] sam-_-_: Probably not, but it was a shot in the dark [18:56] carliukx, alternate isn't a LiveCD [18:56] wyclif, pozic have you tried gfax or efax-gtk [18:56] Hey guys I am having some really annoying wireless issues with my mothers sony vaio vpcm12m1e netbook. It connects to certain networks with no real pattern as to the properties of the wireless network [18:56] Can anyone tell me how to install Java runtime environment in 10.10? [18:56] carliukx: you might want to download the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso [18:56] Chipset is RaLink RT3090 [18:57] pozic: sam-_-_: yes, I forgot all about gfax [18:57] Russiya, add the partner repo - sudo apt-get update - then you'll find the sun Java stuff. [18:57] !partner | Russiya [18:57] Russiya: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » [18:57] Russiya: in synaptic try and search for sun java plugin [18:57] so thats the one to install it to my virtual box??? === mike_ is now known as Guest491 [18:58] carliukx, alternate or Live should both work in VBox [18:58] carliukx: it will give you the option to try ubuntu, from there you can install it [18:58] GeekSquid, not from alternate it won't [18:58] sam-_-: is a fax modem the same as the modems that existed 13 years ago (33K6, 56K), etc.? [18:58] ZykoticK9: did I say anything about alternate? [18:59] GeekSquid, that's what ISO they have [18:59] sam-_-: can I somehow also directly connect the fax to the computer? [18:59] pozic, don't know but i would be surprised if anything had changed [18:59] Has anyone managed to recover .iso files from EXT3? [18:59] ZykoticK9: look 15-20 lines up [18:59] see thats the thing it does not give me the option to try it it just letme install it but the insstall step fail [18:59] GeekSquid, " yes it is the ubuntu10.10-alternate-1386 iso" [19:00] pozic: I believe there are web services that let you send faxes for free but there is no way to recieve faxes for free. I know the same is true for text messages [19:00] Good evening guys! Can someone here please tell me what the name of the package is on Ubuntu which allows you to set up your boot system, i.e select which partition or grub entry to boot? [19:00] pozic, don't know what you mean exactly but fax works via dialup. so not via your ethernet or wifi connection [19:00] ZykoticK9: (10:56:52 AM) GeekSquid: carliukx: you might want to download the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso [19:00] !grub2 | BarkingFish [19:00] BarkingFish: 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 [19:00] sam-_-: gfax is a big failure. [19:01] brilliant. thanks ZykoticK9 [19:01] i may try with the 10.10 desktop version like geeksquid sugested and see what happens [19:01] pozic, ok. i never sent a fax in my live :-) [19:01] how would I add an auto run script in ubuntu without a GUI? [19:01] should I just place it in /etc/init.d? === breadcrumb is now known as awaycrumb [19:02] david717, autorun when? [19:02] at startup [19:02] david717: That's not enough. Check out update-rc.d (it's a program) [19:02] thankx everyone for your help and patience! [19:02] just to check, is that a GUI system where you just tick stuff and click things, or is it for command line config? [19:02] Out of curiousity, anyone have problems with losing grub.cfg after updating to 10.10, with windows already installed on your computer? [19:02] ##politics is a family friendly channel.

[19:05] Nesto1000, are you trying to create an MP4? [19:05] MKV [19:05] Nesto1000, man ffmpeg ? [19:05] Russiya: try package startupmgr [19:05] Nesto1000: Try avidemux or the default installed in ubuntu now, pitivi movie editor [19:05] Nesto1000: you can see all the options for ffmpeg by typing man ffmpeg [19:05] lxcnovice: Uh, how would I do that? [19:05] How can I get my python script to continue to run even when I logout? [19:06] Russiya: in synaptic package manager [19:06] quest88: run it in screen [19:06] Nesto1000, FYI the default ffmpeg in ubuntu repo does NOT support AAC audio (important for MP4, not so much for MKV) [19:06] lxcnovice: Ok, thanks [19:06] ah ok thanks GeekSquid and sam-_- I will see if i can figure anything out from there [19:06] might be called startupmngr even [19:06] GeekSquid: No screen - using server edition [19:07] I don't have the defualt ffmpeg ZykoticK9 [19:07] quest88, screen [19:07] guest88: screen is a CLI program which allows you to do what you want [19:08] quest88: python rules :) [19:08] I updated my ffmpeg like this ZykoticK9 : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095 [19:08] it's ok [19:08] Is Ubuntu netbook edition going to have my wifi drivers built in? [19:08] Nesto1000, i was just pointing it out - but you obviously already knew. === awaycrumb is now known as breadcrumb [19:09] Not really... I'm still pretty new to ubuntu and don't really know what I'm doing lol [19:09] NickyT: its very likely - but try the livecd first if your unsure [19:09] Yeah I'm downloading it now [19:09] ZykoticK9: I know, sorry :( [19:09] is there a SuperOS version of Netbook edition? [19:09] I really like how they put VLC & Chrome on it by default [19:10] NickyT, don't rely on wireless working out of the box, sometimes require driver installation (which means having an ethernet connection) [19:10] I was able to install my wifi driver without any connection on SuperOS [19:10] Nesto1000: have you added the mediubuntu repos? [19:10] well as no one could help here i went and modified /etc/crypttab, now i've got a usb stick that i can use with a 4096 bit key to decrypt my drives on boot :D [19:10] quest88, nohup [19:10] It's just a hassle to do every time, that's why I prefer persistence [19:10] bp0: I tried nohup but it didn't work [19:10] I'm just looking for the perfect OS right now [19:10] trying everything [19:10] "nohup python program.py &" [19:11] bp0: ^ [19:11] I've tried some XP live boots - NONE worked [19:11] NickyT: ive never had an ubuntu livecd fail on me [19:11] I used screen, it seems to be working [19:11] nice [19:11] quest88, what do you mean didnt work? [19:11] alright, screen is better [19:12] but you said you didnt have it before [19:12] I logged out of ssh, logged back in and my process wasn't running anymore [19:12] Hey guys, my text is messed up, see here: (http://oi56.tinypic.com/lgr2w.jpg) any ideas? [19:12] yeah, I used screen and disconnected/reconnected ssh and it was still running [19:12] FloodBot1, how come I see #ubuntu, and #ubuntu-unregged [19:12] quest88: screen is cool like that [19:12] is there a development suite like KDevelop on ubuntu? [19:12] screen is also better because you can easily take it back [19:13] screen -r [19:13] NickyT: ultimate boot cd for windows, I use it a lot (in addition to the gparted, ubuntu, gnome, and dsl livecds), and it's awesome [19:13] take it back? [19:13] bencahill: looks to be theme related [19:14] ner0x: qdevelop is a qt4 version ... similar, but not exactly like Kdevelop [19:14] take control of it again [19:14] intrader: #ubuntu rolls over to #ubuntu-unregged at levels of high volume, which requires proof of human before getting admitted to #ubuntu [19:14] like you just executed it [19:14] how many GB? [19:15] howto change loginwindow bckground pinture? [19:15] *picture? [19:15] lxcnovice: gnome with the default ubuntu theme, it's 10.10, and i haven't changed anything...except it started happening after installing wine... [19:15] bencahill: you could edit the image in the office theme template and black in those white boxes would look fairly decent then [19:15] I wonder if 2 GB pendrive is enough for a persistence install. [19:16] mediubuntu repos? don't think so lxcnovice [19:16] lxcnovice: oh, has nothing to do with openoffice, it does it in other apps also, mainly wine apps, but this isn't a wine app... [19:16] bencahill, but its annoying because of some relatively recent change in freenode that doesnt send xchat the signal it needs when you have identified to nickserv [19:16] NickyT: yes, don't expect to save much to it [19:16] so you sometimes get put in there as you join your startup channels [19:16] I have an extra SD card for that [19:16] I got one doubt . can i ask ? [19:16] I formatted it to NTFS for big files [19:16] ok [19:17] !ask | basil [19:17] basil: 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. :-) [19:17] Nesto1000: go to http://medibuntu.org/ and enable the repositories via the "howto" .. then have a look through the packages [19:17] NickyT, why not use sd for your /home then? [19:17] I was trying to setup DRBD in ubunut 10.04 . but i'm unable to start it [19:17] root@master ~# service drbd start [19:17] * Starting DRBD resources Can not load the drbd module.

[19:18] brontoeee when you say for my /home you mean the boot drive? [19:18] So I used apt-get purge to remove a 500 MB package but it didn't free any space. What's the deal? [19:18] Brack101: sudo apt-get autoclean [19:18] basil: there might be somekind of clue in /var/log [19:18] I did that too [19:18] Brack101, its still in the cache... try apt-get clean [19:18] Brack101: sudo apt-get clean all [19:18] let me check [19:19] bencahill: wine is usually beyond me but have you copied the ms fonts into a directory in your wine?

Let me try that with Server edition of ubuntu [19:31] okay thanks [19:31] NickyT: i think there's a package you have to install, before activating the STA driver [19:31] where is the audacity chatroom? [19:32] Does anyone know what package the shutdown command is in? (For submitting a bug report) [19:32] Leif: you should already have it [19:33] Leif: shutdown command?

[19:35] gobbe: go lurk in #vbox for a bit.. [19:35] Leif, correct - i can't find what package provides "shutdown" sorry - best of luck. [19:35] gobbe, Well, actually it's related to resuming from a suspend, but I assumed they were in the same area [19:35] KM0201: no need, my vbox is working perfectly [19:35] ZykoticK9, Thank you anyway. :/ [19:35] KM0201: but i'm using version from virtualnbox.org, not OSE [19:35] guys [19:35] have a little problem here [19:35] i have a resolution of 1024 x 600 [19:35] Bodsda, I'm not quite sure what you mean [19:35] Leif, actually suspend issues are most likely kernel related - but I'm not sure.

[19:36] KM0201: ok, well....it's been working well for me so no need to go there ;) [19:36] gobbe: :) nothing wrong w/ that [19:36] ZykoticK9, So, you think that changing to a different kernel may solve my problem? [19:36] (or rather, using a differently patched kernel) [19:36] Leif, ? maybe - would require testing ;) [19:36] EMPHATHY NEVER LOGS IN [19:37] ZykoticK9, Mm..okay. Oddly enough, the bug wasn't in 10.04, only 10.10 [19:37] Hi all, i'm going insane. install of server 10.10 fails on HP DL360 [19:37] Hi, my laptop compaq presario v3500 doesn't detect cd drive & hd drive.

[19:57] kieppie, MoonOS is certainly not supported here - perhaps it's being reported as malicious because it is? [19:57] I have a lot of crontabs running from root in /var/log/auth.log. If i become root and crontab -e there's nothing there. The logs indicate whatever it is runs at 09,17 and 39 minutes every hour. there's nothing in /etc/cron.daily/ ... any ideas? [19:59] Any policykit wonks here? We're trying to disable shutdown/restart for unpriveleged users. While editing the configs in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions works, we'd much rather override those defaults somewhere else. /etc/polkit-1/localauthority and /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority don't seem to work as other flavors of linux say they should. Please advise. [19:59] thanks ZykoticK9: my query is not so much relating to the OS itself, but the site (linuxfreedom.com) which is an aggregtor for Linux OS's, including Ubuntu & it's kin. I'd like to know why browsers & search engines are finding it to be malicious (& by all accounts that seems to be a miss-label), same as I would if distrowatch was reported as "malicious" [20:00] How is an internal modem in a laptop usually listed? [20:00] kieppie, that's NOT an ubuntu issue though... so your question is OT in this channel, perhaps you could ask in ##linux?

[20:28] s [20:28] so boot partition say 200mb [20:28] nop [20:28] no /boot [20:28] Okitain: that is the truth...for me especially lol [20:28] just 70% of the space to /home [20:28] i know the windows crashed on it [20:28] daniel_: what issues are you having? [20:28] and 30% to / [20:28] txomon: so /boot will be 200mb [20:29] when it use be windows it never use connect through wireless [20:29] no, /boot you dont have to define it [20:29] daniel_, how can I help - I use dual boot with xp, and almost never use xp anymmore [20:29] ok i hope so [20:29] ,/boot is included in / [20:29] sometimes it doesnt connect to the wireless [20:29] when you say / means => "allocate anything i havent defined there" [20:30] daniel_: in ubuntu?

[20:31] care [20:31] , /home better the first one [20:31] then / [20:31] and then swap [20:31] ok first /home that will be the biggert say 2 gigs [20:31] anyone knows how to sychronise windows mobile with ubuntu ? [20:32] xstation108: ok, wait a moment [20:32] so /home then / then swap === Tommy is now known as Lantchips [20:32] 165 Gb to /home [20:32] xstation108: how much ram do you have? [20:33] 3 gigs [20:34] so you have to put a partition for / that is everything but 3 Gb [20:34] hi all. somebody help me install a TV tuner? [20:34] I've gotten a new SSD Hard drive. Old one used encryption, new one I don't want ot pay the 50% encryption penalty. I mounted the old encrypted one under /target during rescue, and copied everything to the new one. When it boots, it fails to do the crypt setup. How do I turn that off? [20:35] and swap i? [20:35] ive got a question. im trying to output the date to a log. im doing $(date 'now') > file.log. But its not working [20:36] rpaisley: if you were using LVM based full disk encryption, you should be able to edit /etc/crypttab [20:36] resno, "date 'now'" doesn't appear to be a valid command for date [20:36] ok, one sec. i must have copied it wrong [20:36] xstation108: ¿? [20:36] so 165gb /home then / 70 gigs and 3 gigs for swap [20:36] quienscens: Thanks. We'll see if it comes up this time! [20:36] xstation108: it is the format, i cant remember which is the name, [20:36] ZykoticK9: echo $(date -d now) > $ShortTerm thats what im donig [20:37] xstation108: I thing it is ... exchange space [20:37] rpaisley: to my knowledge, you have to edit it, then update your boot stuff in some way [20:37] quienscens: I don't need to turn off cryptdisk and cryptdisk-early? [20:37] xstation108: or something like htat [20:37] resno, "date -d now" is the same as "date" [20:37] unallocated 232.75GB [20:37] resno: from the command line: date > file.log works for me [20:38] needs to be patition into three 165 gor /home then 70gb for / and 3gb for swap [20:38] anybody? [20:38] resno, you certainly don't need the "echo" as milamber points out [20:38] Is http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/11c11040/ packaged? [20:38] vamp: What kind of tuner? [20:39] xstation108: yep at least 3Gb for swap [20:39] txomon: ok thankyou [20:39] Technisat AirStar TeleStick 2 [20:39] xstation108: thats the space of the disc that the system uses to hibernate and those things, so if you dont have at least the same as the ram... [20:39] ZykoticK9: heh, i tried without echo and it failed, so i thought that would make it speak [20:39] xstation108: you will be in trouble [20:40] ZykoticK9: milamber let me get my script on dpaste [20:40] i found a link, but i'm a beginner ubuntu user, and i dont understand: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg20715.html [20:41] txomon: i was asking about boot because the EFI patition whaich is set to boot flag does not work anymore http://pastebin.com/sBs7TGQ3 [20:41] rpaisley: you should probably technically remove the cryptsetup package if you wanted to take that route [20:41] http://dpaste.com/295672/ ZykoticK9 milamber this is it. its not outputting everything it needs to [20:41] vamp: so you have the tuner installed an are now trying to connect to it? [20:41] thats wehay i asked about /boot but as you said is coverd by / / [20:41] xstation108: you have to install grub [20:41] ? [20:41] xstation108: dont forget it [20:41] where [20:42] . [20:42] yes i know it will ask me where to installl [20:42] xstation108: jaja , no it is default, but do not disable its installation [20:42] grub [20:42] yep [20:42] xstation108: say hd0 [20:42] in the root [20:42] ok [20:42] that means [20:42] yes, but the program not see [20:42] resno: you need to append to the files with >> not > on the date and rsync lines [20:42] root is / [20:43] trism: ah thanks [20:43] that you can install it in a partition, or in the index of the HD === mike_ is now known as Guest38146 [20:43] well i rember where do I want to install grub I have a choice i think [20:43] vamp: Have you looked on linuxtv.org? [20:43] xstation108: I think it just says sda or sda0 and those things [20:43] remember [20:43] herteljt: i plug the usb, but the system not seee the tuner. I try lsusb but nothing [20:44] trism: thanks that got it [20:44] xstation108: you have to use sda [20:44] without number [20:44] resno, for one thing - using > multiple times means only the last thing will be in the output file -- use >> to append. Taking out your rsync lines leaves the date in the files. [20:44] or sdb or hd [20:44] but remember, without number [20:44] resno: well, you might want to overwrite on the date command, since you're then appending to another log later [20:44] herteljt: yes, not supported device, but i found the link: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg20715.html [20:44] trism: right, i got that [20:44] if you have 2 of them, that means you have a USB plugged in [20:44] thanks ZykoticK9 [20:45] herteljt: but i dont know what is [20:45] xstation108: I hope I helped [20:45] at the moment I have sd1 the efi patition sda2 is the osx partition [20:45] resno, i was too slow - thank trism ;) [20:45] no thats not true no usb [20:45] is sshd not enabled by default on a new install?

[20:58] MatthewDS: this is an ubuntu support channel, please keep to that topic [20:59] printf("Hey, I'm a bot!\n"); [20:59] :) [20:59] chris_bsd: that goes to you too [20:59] k [20:59] erUSUL: ZykoticK9 i dunno if i am doing it right i am trying to convert images [20:59] Does Ubuntu have multi-arch support? [21:00] pozic: in what respect ? [21:00] MrUnagi, can you pastebin your complete command? [21:00] Meaning I can install different userlands on one machine and simply switch to a different 32-bits kernel? [21:00] ikonia: sorry, this is my normal way of communication. will stay on topic though [21:00] And switch back to a 64 bits kernels. [21:00] kernel* [21:00] pozic, no [21:00] chris_bsd: please don't talk in code, the language for this channel is English, and I appreciate you sticking on topic [21:00] pozic: no, it's not dynamic like that [21:01] ikonia: I thought Debian was. [21:01] has anyone managed to enabel ipvr4 forwarding in lynx 10.04.1 LTS? [21:01] pozic: no [21:01] ZykoticK9: for i in *; do convert -resize 50% /jail/home/waynrdude/MyDropbox/Convert/Converted/$i.jpg [21:01] it works in debian, though [21:01] well, in some way, C is a subset of english. [21:01] evening all :) [21:01] MrUnagi: that works only for non space separated files ... [21:01] ikonia: then what is the multi-arch stuff in Debian? [21:01] hmm [21:01] MrUnagi, try "for f in *.jpg; do convert -resize 50% $f; done" [21:01] chris_bsd: easy choice, talk in clear english, or don't talk - choose === roaming is now known as INFURNO [21:02] ikonia: just to be able to run a 32 bits user land transparantly on a 64 bits kernel? [21:02] MrUnagi, careful - maybe make a backup first! [21:02] ZykoticK9: these are copites [21:02] pozic: some 32bit programs will work, sure [21:02] okay so im making a game server and it needs to webscale. Will it webscale if I make it in pypy, twisted and on ubuntu [21:02] or... should I use redhat? [21:02] pozic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SupportedArchitectures [21:02] oh yeah, and mongodb [21:02] clarity_: the distro has no relevence, it's the language you use to do it in [21:03] eh [21:03] clarity_: use what ever distro you are comfortable developing on, [21:03] convert: missing an image filename `*.JPG' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/2970. [21:03] clarity_: i can't see so much difference [21:03] probably a problem with imagemagick ZykoticK9 [21:03] clarity_: could you explain to me what webscaling is? [21:03] you guys know of a good monitor tool for ubuntu server? something weird is happening... i have apache2 and mysql installed... i'm running a smaller site and suddently the CPU usage is 100% [21:03] need to figure out whats causing this... somehow [21:03] MrUnagi: put quotes in the $i or the command will fail with filenames with spaces [21:04] fanbetastic: what application is taking up the cpu [21:04] mysql [21:04] frobisher: ok, is the server local to you ? [21:04] MrUnagi: also convert needs an output filename if you want to convert inplace use mogrify === pothos_ is now known as pothos [21:04] MrUnagi, you need to specify a destination file as well. "for f in *.jpg; do convert -resize 50% $f $f_resize; done" is an UGLY workaround [21:05] ZykoticK9: why is it ugly? [21:05] MrUnagi, it will give blah.jpg_resize -- use basename to do it properly [21:05] MrUnagi: try this on a copy of the images « for f in /path/to/image/folder/* ; do mogrify --resize 50% "$f"; done » [21:05] erUSUL: ok [21:05] ikonia, I mean lucid lynx, not lynx the CLI browser. thx for kicking me, though [21:05] ikonia: mysql - trying to read the apache log right now.... it takes forever just to load it up [21:06] krmX: right, so ip forwarding is set in the kernel, then you need an application such as iptables to actually manage the forwarding of traffic [21:06] ikonia: the only way to transform a 64 bits system into a 32 bits system is a reinstall? [21:06] !ics ~ krmX [21:06] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:06] anyone knows how to list rooms in empathy?

[21:07] fanbetastic: you may want to try killing apache and see if it calms mysql down [21:07] krmX: right, so ip forwarding is set in the kernel, then you need an application such as iptables to actually manage the forwarding of traffic [21:07] !ics | krmX [21:08] <_Synergy_> Ubuntu is incorrectly detecting my 2nd monitor as "DFP-0" with a max resolution of 640x480.

[21:09] is there a way ubuntu auto-mount my second partition at boot [21:09] erUSUL: I wonder what it is complaining about [21:09] glaceman: yes [21:09] glaceman: /etc/fstab [21:09] !automount | glaceman [21:09] glaceman: Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [21:09] glaceman: put it in /etc/fstab [21:09] glaceman, fstab [21:10] gobbe: yeah fstab holds the partitions you want to have mounted [21:10] i have the fstab open now [21:10] MrUnagi: unable to open image `f$': <<<< is $f [21:11] chris_bsd: i dont want to mount anything ;) [21:11] bencahill, I cannot get to fwd traffic from a remote VPN subnet which is routed through the ppp0 interface [21:11] you made a typo [21:11] gobbe: sorry was for glaceman [21:11] ;) [21:11] i have the fstab file open [21:11] chris_bsd: i thought so :) [21:11] <_Synergy_> How do I get Ubuntu (or nvidia drivers) to redetect my monitors properly? Am I really going to have to deal with 10 hours of xorg.conf hell? is there no tool that will just detect properly? [21:12] gobbe: ;-) [21:12] I'm trying to install 10.10 i386 as a xen domU on a CentOS-based dom0 using debootstrap (base instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=630886). I've obtained the updated scripts and removed all the --include= option. Unfortunately, installation blows up with some pretty low-level failures in debootstrap. For example, the chroot line fails with /var/lib/dpkg/status not containing the version for package dpkg. [21:12] _Synergy_: aaah [21:12] I fixed that by hand, but then a bunch more stuff blew up. [21:12] xubuntu o lxde more ligt ? thank 8-) [21:12] _Synergy_: go to system, and there [21:12] _Synergy_, nvidia-settings - X Server Display Configruation on left side - then there is a "Detect Displays" on the right [21:12] _Synergy_: Additional controlers [21:13] _Synergy_: do you have nvidia controlers activated? [21:13] krmX: have you configure the iptables rules to forward from that subnet ? [21:13] <_Synergy_> txomon: I have the recommended nvidia driver installed, if thats what you mean (whats a controller?) [21:13] almost the same [21:14] _Synergy_: the nvidia-settings tool is no use? [21:14] _Synergy_: ... try to activate the special effects [21:14] <_Synergy_> Zykotick9: when I hit 'detect displays' on the nvidia settings tool nothing happens [21:15] <_Synergy_> erUSUL: in the nvidia settings tool it just shows the monitor as "DFP-0" with a max resolution of 640x480 , which is incorrect [21:15] :/ [21:15] erUSUL: i think it is working one sec [21:16] _Synergy_, is nvidia-settings getting the correct name in the Model dropdown? [21:16] <_Synergy_> Zykotick9, no it is calling the monitor "DFP-0" , whatever that means [21:17] yes, thusly iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i ppp0 --source 10.0.0.1/24 -j ACCEPT [21:17] erUSUL: thank you [21:17] but to no avail [21:17] _Synergy_, mine shows "Samsung SyncMaster (DFP-0 on GPU-0)" and yours just shows "DFP-0"?

I will try that. I want to give dhcp out my ethernet, but bridged to my wifi... do you know a link for that? [21:48] Lantchips: if you delete the NTFS partition and Resize the Ubuntu partition to fill the drive you will have one big partition [21:48] hi [21:49] Tetsuo55: Do you want the user to have read AND write permissions? Or just read? [21:49] how can I get scroll and copy/paste on xterm? [21:49] GeekSquid so it will do that without any problems ? Havn't tried so I have no ide yet :) But ty.. I guess I will use Gparted for it ? [21:49] write too, as i need the low user to delete it later [21:49] GeekSquid: Lantchips that only is possible if the ntfs partition is *after* the linux partition on the disk [21:50] Tetsuo55: the lower user will only be able to delete if it has writte permission on the directory. writte access to the file does not matter ... [21:50] NCS_One: Copy/Paste (from website to terminal line I presume) would be Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V [21:50] erUSUL how do i know if it is "after" ? :P [21:50] Lantchips, use gparted [21:51] ok ill use sudo to delete it then [21:51] Lantchips: see how the layout of the dis is in gparted [21:51] thanks for the explenations [21:51] disk* [21:51] NCS_One: And scrolling should be working by default in xterm I believe :) [21:51] erUSUL ahh Windows is "infront" :/ [21:51] Is there an alternative to stream videos over internet without VLC [21:51] good_intentions, mplayer? [21:51] Lantchips: gparted will do the job fine... but you'll have to do it from the LiveCD, as all partitions have to be unmounted to resize them... erUSUL, If he is removing the NTFS Partition he can move the linux partition to the front of the drive and expand to fill [21:51] Lantchips: then what you could do is format to ext4 and move home to it for example or use it as data storage mounted in /media/data or something [21:52] jimi_, you mean you want to make a bridged connection? 'br0' ? you'd need to use interfaces file for that I thinik.

[22:31] dannyLopez, request for help in #freenode [22:31] dannyLopez, irc nick? ask for reset in #freenode [22:32] dannyLopez, try #freenode [22:32] thaks very much it's work the others user now conect fine to internet [22:32] psycho_oreos: returns no output [22:32] And if you want your menu back, r click on the top panel click 'add to panel' and type 'menu' in the search bar. [22:32] thanks [22:32] Oh anyone: Im using acpitemp with conky however CPU temp never changes from 40 C ... ever even under heavy load [22:32] intrader: have you googled your problem there may be a bug [22:32] awesome_guest: i think you're looking for cpufrequtils package and the commands cpufreq-info and cpufreq-set [22:32] awesome_guest, you'll probably need to install it, let me check [22:32] is that a laptop or a desktop system, GraphicH ? [22:33] yeah I needed that [22:33] zeeble: Desktop, AMD Athlon 64 2 cores [22:33] Anybody know if I can install protobuf 2.3.0 on lucid (which comes with 2.2.0), without any issues? [22:33] botcity, I have googled it, but did not notice a bug report. [22:33] GraphicH: yeah. the cpu freq scaling thing is more visiblel in laptops. the fans just go crazy .. [22:33] SmkMnstr, if you want your menu back, r click on the top panel click 'add to panel' and type 'menu' in the search bar. [22:34] botcity, is there a channel for bugs? [22:34] zeeble: wait so hows that have to do with the temp reported by apcitemp being 40 always? [22:34] SmkMnstr, Add 'custom menu' [22:34] ok thats guys - ur the best! gotta reboot now for a test [22:34] interesting.. so speedstep is working (my CPU is at 1GHz, instead of its nominal 2GHz), but my fan is still going [22:35] give it time .. [22:35] zeelbe: I've watched it [22:35] type sensors in a console and see what you get [22:35] cool will do [22:35] GraphicH: i'd be surprised if it got over 40-42C on a desktop [22:35] desktops have more powerful fans and more air circulation [22:36] Is it normal for Ubuntu 10.10 (+ updates) to show 80% CPU (system monitor > resources) on a AMD 1600Mhz 1GB machine? How do I test what is specifically causing that? [22:36] intrader: well that would be here .. [22:36] Hey, my sound won't work. When the user interface loads and prompts me for my password, sometimes it makes a sort of "Pt" sound a few times, then nothing. I was forced to manually unplug my computer multiple times due to a suspend glitch reoccurring. Does anyone know of a possible method to fix this? [22:36] not necessarily, I average around 40 or so C with c2d @ 2.6GHz with side of case open [22:36] use top .. to find some runaway processes [22:36] yuler, in a terminal type "top" and see what's using the CPU [22:36] wow, psycho_oreos [22:36] zeeble, mind you its summer here however [22:37] where at, psycho_oreos? [22:37] botcity, uhm... I have asked about this problem for a couple of months, and no help [22:37] zeeble: yeah Ive got a roomy case too and a big fan onit, I see 4 "core" temps listed 2 for each core http://paste.ubuntu.com/551638/ [22:37] zeeble, .au [22:37] I also have an hp pavilion dv7, and I've heard that it has problems with audio. Is there any package that I could reinstall that might fix this problem? [22:37] the new versions go crazy on my dell laptop at times.. but. i wouldnt notice it, cept in windows 7, everything is fine [22:38] My problem related: 'top' says that root is running apt-get, which the update manager said was conflicting with it. [22:38] that looks cool enough, GraphicH [22:38] I would really like to be able to hear things again. === dannyLopez is now known as Z3R0 [22:38] intrader: dell is it a laptop [22:38] hey guys [22:39] i want to free some space from /dev/sdb2 and put it into /dev/sdb1... [22:39] i can't seem to find out how to do this with gparted though [22:39] can someone help me? [22:39] braxton: someone has published a fix for the DV7, I believe upgrading alsa from source or ppa will fix your problem .. also remove pulseaudio [22:39] hello [22:39] plum You want to change your partitioning? [22:39] plum: one, make a backup. don't even try without maing a backup. [22:39] GeekSquid: That sounds fantastic! Can you give me the article URL, please? [22:39] i am trying to install ubuntu on my old dell [22:39] zeeble: well yeah it seems fine to me to but conky never reports anything over 40C *ever*, its never changed, is it averaging them? [22:39] plum: you need to boot into the live cd in order to resize partitions [22:39] Pudabudigada: yeah [22:39] can you help me [22:39] ZykoticK9: thanks. xorg spikes to 55% when switched to the resources tab. What's up with that? [22:40] GraphicH: no idea. i always use lmsensors .. [22:40] GeekSquid: i am in a live partition [22:40] braxton, remove PulseAudio might not be a good idea! [22:40] live cd * === Cain` is now known as Cain [22:40] plum: two, you'll have to shrink your sdb2, and then enlarge sdb1 [22:40] Have you tried with a live cd? [22:40] ZykoticK9: Why is that? [22:40] actually, had never heard of conky ..i'll install it this time [22:40] i have a old dell with a Pentium 4 [22:40] botcity, yes the dell inspiron 8200 - a very good machine where I run xp and ubuntu. The xp running tomboty, and XAMPP never turns fan on except on some youtube sites [22:40] braxton, you'll loose Ubuntu sound for one! No more volume control, system sounds, etc. [22:40] zeeble: conky is pretty nice and it seems to play well with 10, I think it had issues with earlier versions of ubuntu [22:40] plum: please make a backup before trying anything. gparted likes to ruin partitioning. [22:40] :/ [22:40] luketheduke: sdb2 doesn't show a shrink option [22:40] I can't seem to get the Ubuntu installer to check (show i meet the requirements) that I have 2.6GB for it. I am running windows xp, and i partitioned some space for ubuntu (ext2). Any ideas? [22:40] when i let it go to the gui, my monitors cannot handle it [22:40] plum: resize?

[22:41] plum, do you have the swap off [22:41] just googled. there seems to be multiple reports of issues when people using the new ubuntu 2.6.35 version kernels [22:41] ZykoticK9: I can alter the volume using alsa in the terminal. As long as my sound works, I'm googd.

[22:43] bastidrazor: yeah Im just trying to convert him to conky is all haha [22:43] zeeble, generally the swap has a lock on the OS [22:43] luketheduke: i don't have much to lose on my partition i'm shrinking [22:43] nit-wit: oh [22:43] so i just hope it won't kill it [22:43] :s [22:43] but what about the one growing [22:43] GraphicH: oh, i must have misread. i thought you were having issues with conky. [22:43] will that one lose data? [22:43] intrader: do you know how to paste bin [22:43] just checked some screenshots of conky, GraphicH .. looks nice :) [22:44] like a big version of gkrellm [22:44] botcity, I have saved the link somewhere [22:44] zeeble: I know right? let me take a screeny of my setup [22:44] plum, thats the ticket always look for the locks on the partition, in gparted.

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 [22:52] alright thanks [22:53] intrader: if you can bring up a terminal and paste lscpu output... cat /proc/cpuinfo output... and lshw output.... [22:53] well here's hoping it will work [22:53] awesome_guest: 9.04 is your version though? [22:53] hahaha [22:53] nope 9.10 [22:53] I installed ubuntu 10.10, but now I can boot in rescue mode, whereas in classical mode, I've a purple screen, the mouse, but not the desktop.

I was going to add a script that I want to run at logon to my .bashrc, and before I did it i decided that I should probably check here to make sure there wasn't a more prefered method for startups? [22:54] GraphicH: my screenshot of my laptop with conky in the bottom right. [22:54] http://imagebin.org/131512 GraphicH [22:54] like.. grub2 is still configured via /etc/default/grub right [22:54] are you using gnome or xfce, Pudabudigada? [22:54] awesome_guest: no, read the links since many things have changed from grub to grub2 [22:54] I don't even have that file [22:54] ok i gotta go guys [22:54] cya later, thank you for the help [22:54] Texou: you installed 10.10 fresh or you upgraded from 9.10 to 10.10? [22:54] nice how end users have to deal with this haha [22:55] ohzie: fresh, from a CD [22:55] bastidrazor: nice I should think about adding color but I kind of got a black and white thing going on with SlicknessBlack theme [22:55] awesome_guest: /boot/grub/grub.cfg [22:55] Texou: That's very strange. Can you check the CD for problems please? [22:55] Texou: The only reason I suggest it is to rule it out. [22:55] so it's /boot/grub/grubenv?? [22:55] Texou: Additionally in a terminal "sudo lshw" and pastebin it [22:55] grubenv* [22:56] I don't have a grub.cfg file [22:56] awesome_guest: also nice that end users dont have to pay 300+ dollars for windows ;-) [22:56] ok thanks [22:56] Pudabudigada: it looks like your downloading something, are you doing an update or installing a program? [22:56] ok I try this I come back later. Thanks [22:56] Texou: I will not be able to help you troubleshoot your problem but these things will help other people troubleshoot your problem. Check the CD. Check the graphical driver that xorg is using as well. [22:56] GraphicH: color is crazy easy to add. [22:57] awesome_guest: ok so youre looking for /etc/default/grub? but its not there and you've 100% verified this? [22:57] sudo apt-get install postgresql # this seems to want to install postgresql 8.4 .. i want 9.. what should i do? [22:57] ohzie: ok thanks very much. I'll ask again when I'm back. With additional tests (lshw and others). How can I know driver used by xorg? [22:57] bastidrazor: I was thinking about doing a gradiant on the usage bars [22:57] you know what would be nice? a centralized directory where people could discuss config options [22:57] are there too many permutations for that to be feasible? [22:58] GraphicH: http://pastebin.com/dk005LGs .. i use a gradient on mine but up/down instead of left/right [22:58] awesome_guest: yes kind of but what are you trying to do exactly? Not just that you dont have default/grub [22:58] Texou: I'm not sure in Lucid to be honest. It doesn't have an xorg.conf [22:58] Texou: That's one of the things that makes me butthurt about lucid. I don't know if that was a choice by the ubuntu dev team or the xorg dev team though. [22:58] botcity, fantastic stuff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551642/ [22:59] I understand [22:59] NixGeek, Not now, I ran apt-get upgrade a little while ago [22:59] GraphicH: essentially figure out how to fix ubuntu's default suboptimal configuration for my specific HW platform [22:59] Texou: Good luck and godspeed [22:59] :3 [22:59] bastidrazor: what templating engine are they using? the text section seems to be very similar to stuff Ive seen with PyCUDA code templates [22:59] naturally they emphasize stability for all platforms over specific tweaks [22:59] 'cause I couldn't use update manager [22:59] ok thanks I check the CD. See you soon and thanks very much :) oh thanks [23:00] GraphicH: i wrote that modeled off of the pre-Lua conky rc's [23:00] what's weechat? lol [23:00] anyone worked with remmina? Don't know how to begin to configure [23:00] ah crap wife [23:00] GraphicH: I'm using grub2 (9.10) so it seems /etc/default/grub is deprecated [23:00] zeeble: an irc client [23:00] wrd: yeah, just saw the name for the first time. looks nice :) [23:00] maybe it will be like irssi [23:00] zeeble, GNOME, but on a xubuntu installation [23:00] sup [23:01] Pudabudigada: if your sure, run "sudo kill 1760" [23:01] Pudabudigada: okay [23:01] grub2's /boot/grub/grub.cfg is not there for me either [23:01] awesome_guest, grub2 uses /etc/default/grub! [23:01] awesome_guest: you would not manually edit the grub.cfg regardless. use the scripts in /etc/default/grub [23:02] lucas: not really something you configure, something you use to connect to a remote host, which has been properly configured [23:02] Hey i'm having trouble with my sound, i'm not sure if it's the driver or what... [23:02] awesome_guest, perhaps the grub-config is on another partition? [23:02] awesome_guest: if you would read the links i gave you earlier then this would be very clear. [23:02] NixGeek, If this breaks something will a reboot fix it? [23:02] ls /etc/default.. don't see "grub" [23:02] awesome_guest: Then you have grub legacy installed. [23:02] Pudabudigada: all it will do is kill apt-get, but yes a reboot will fix it. it's just stopping a program [23:02] awesome_guest, is there only one linux-distribution installed? [23:03] I have 3 kernels installed, using the most recent [23:03] My sound drops out for like a few seconds, then it comes back on and plays like all the sounds that it missed at once [23:03] 'k I wondered 'cause it's been starting on boot. [23:03] can my computer get any slower? [23:03] GeekSquid: I try to connect remotely to my desktop... What do I have to do on the desktop? [23:04] tuxd [23:04] lucas: enable remote desktop ... Ubuntu Desktop? [23:04] yes [23:04] lucas: System>Preferences>Remote Desktop [23:05] awesome_guest: What is the output of "grub-install --version"? [23:05] GeekSquid: trying right now... any preferred protocol you propose? [23:05] zeeble: it feels a bit different to irssi but it's nice as well. rather a matter of taste [23:05] FloodBot, sorry about mistake with awesome_guest - I said to ignore! [23:05] wrd: yes, will try it out in a little while [23:06] NixGeek, how do I stop root running apt-get on boot? [23:06] lucas: It will automatically set it up for you .... is your desktop behind a firewall, that makes things more complicated??? [23:06] Pudabudigada: try restarting, it shouldn't be running [23:06] Is WebMin the quickest/best way to create admin and/or user accounts for SSH, [s]FTP, maybe SSH Remote Desktop and/or email? [23:06] !webmin | xiven [23:06] xiven: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

[23:21] !find asm/io.h [23:21] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 server on 7 different servers that all have two quad core xeon processors. Nothing is running on the systems but they have high idle load averages about 0.40. powertop reports a lot of "Load balancing tick" ..I see some bug reports out there. Is there a fix for this? [23:21] File asm/io.h found in linux-headers-2.6.32-305, linux-headers-2.6.35-22, linux-headers-2.6.35-23, linux-headers-2.6.35-24 [23:21] mgj: komba2 [23:21] zeeble, thanks [23:21] MagicJ: File asm/io.h found in linux-headers-2.6.32-305, linux-headers-2.6.35-22, ....

[23:22] Whats the best command to delete a large amount of folders and files as rm is taking age [23:23] !best [23:23] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:23] GeekSquid: Yes. I did a dist-upgrade and rebooted. It looks like you almost need 2.6.35 for the fix. 2.6.32 is the latest for 10.04. [23:23] goose84: rm -rd [23:23] goltoof: i do not now of anything better then rm [23:23] Ademan: did you get Command not found?

[23:24] sacarlson: nope, same error as before "mount: cannot remount block device /dev/sda6 read-write, is write-protected" [23:24] goltoof: nothing according to "man rm" [23:24] in ubuntu 10.10 when an X window becomes unresponsive, it is greyed out and seems to be killed by some process. what is that process and how can i stop it? === khyron_ is now known as get-data-badk [23:24] goltoof, BestBot does not appear to be online....? === get-data-badk is now known as get-data-back [23:25] goltoof: that option does not exist .... [23:25] intrader: yeah cd /proc/fan and then type ls .. for me .. there sould be nothing there! [23:25] rm is so slow would find be better? [23:25] Hi all. I'm trying to dualboot ubuntu on my macbook. I've downloaded the iso, and burned it to a CD. YEt when I load, it says "cannot mount /dev/loop0". any ideas? [23:25] mosty: the greying out is an effect, compiz does it, I don't know anything about it being killed though (my windows will just sit there greyed out) [23:25] goltoof: do not think so. you can try both and benchmark [23:25] erUSUL - it tells me I need to chose - i tried the most recent - it installed - still get gcc error asm/io.h - no such file or directory [23:25] Ademan: that would indicate that the application is locked up. [23:26] bastidrazor: right... === coaboa||away is now known as coaboa [23:26] hello to everyone! i was wondering if you can help me with some troubles i'm having while ubuntu server installation [23:26] bastidrazor, is something killing these "locked up" processes? [23:26] botcity, 'no such file or directory' [23:27] mosty: killing them? no, finding out why they are locking up is the real question. [23:27] Jest tu jakiś polak?

[23:34] can any1 tell me where to get drivers for a nvidia geforce 2 go [23:34] Anyone can help me... [23:35] BernardV: It's an old CRT monitor I had laying around. I built this computer for christmas and my other computer only supports one monitor. I'm thinking about getting another 21.5" led, like my current main monitor (well, really it's a tv) [23:35] One more time: During normal operation I received an ext3 error and ubuntu remounted my root partition as read only. Typically I just reboot and all is well, however I'd like to resolve this without rebooting. I tried to remount with 'mount -n -o remount,rw /' but I get an error "mount: cannot remount block device /dev/sda6 read-write, is write-protected" The drive won't be considered write-protected when I reboot. Does anyone know [23:35] when will ubuntu put PHP 5.3.5 on there servers for download [23:35] Anyone wanna help a new install Plane shift from downloaded .bin file?

[23:37] dreamwalk, all of them [23:38] cradam, what do you mean what error is it giving? [23:38] hello room. is there a program for ubuntu that can edit PDF metadata? [23:38] NixGeek: Currently on a netbook (1024*600) and an external 17" tft (1280*1024).. this is my garage PC (smoke room), normally a MacBookPro 1680x1050 and if @ home an tft with 1920*1200.. but if I would have to work with one monitor (like when on location on my laptop) I miss the extra monitor every second [23:38] nothingspecial: I did that before anything went wrong. :) [23:38] The ISO is fine.

I'd like to add the string "acpi_osi=Linux" somewhere, but I don't think "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" was implemented with Grub 0.97 [23:41] dreamwalk, i also thought i needed drivers because it is very slow when software manager is installing or update manager is at work [23:41] awesome_guest: in grub1 you add it in a line that looks like this « # defoptions=quiet splash » [23:41] Yetanotherx: Ooooh, Ijust scrolled up!!! [23:42] heya all .. just a small problem i am having .. i setup network and all that and working great ... but not the file i sent over .. i cannot decompress the file because not owner .. and the computer i used to send the file over to it .. cannot determen the ownership ectect [23:42] awesome_guest: in /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:42] cradam, that's because it's using your hard drive a lot [23:42] cradam , sounds like a low computer... but the drivers shouldn't be an issue. [23:42] Yetanotherx: Macbook - don`t know [23:42] is there a command to change over the owner of the files? === user is now known as iflema [23:42] cradam, i think it's just your hardware...like and old computer..

[23:43] cradam, OH! did you make sure to get the Distrobution for netbooks? [23:43] EvilPhoenix: gnome-keyring ?

[23:43] bastidrazor: got a GUI equivalent? [23:44] awesome_guest: yes; then run « sudo update-grub » [23:44] And like erUSUL said -R for recursive... [23:44] mosty, is unity meant to work on first boot? [23:44] k thanks rumpe1 [23:44] hi... anyone can help me with eth0 on ubuntu server?

( both gui with presets ) [23:45] martinZGR, Handbrake. ffmpeg has AAC disabled in Ubuntu. [23:45] martinZGR, try transmageddon - very easy to use [23:46] awesome_guest: aplies the new defoptions to the kernel entries in the file [23:46] intrader: nothings jumping out at me but if you keep googling .. you may find a solution maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=842775 === david is now known as Guest96685 [23:46] intrader: it seems alot of dells suffer [23:47] erUSUL: running that command, I get "chown: invalid user: `newuser:newgroup'" [23:47] awesome_guest, you need to replace newuser and newgroup with actual user/group names. [23:47] martinZGR: you need to make a script. #ffmpeg will help. Be patient. Nice guys. [23:47] awesome_guest: well you have to put the actual new user you want to change the files to [23:47] So I make a USB drive, and I set it up using the commands the download page gave me. Yet it is still not bootable. [23:48] awesome_guest: btw; if you do not want to change the group drop the ":newgroup" from the command line === Redswiss is now known as redcode [23:49] advisable to change owner to root, or no?

[23:50] leif: there's an arch flag (iirc) to debootstrap [23:50] a specific app. I downloaded conky and can't find it. [23:51] mosty, Okay, although I'm not sure what difference that would make? Is arch 32 bits by default? [23:51] cp24eva: type conky in a terminal [23:51] martinZGR: I think something like this can work: ffmpeg -i input.avi -f h264 -vcodec libx264 -s 320x240 -r 25 output.ext [23:51] mosty, woops. [23:51] mosty, Never mind, I didn't realize arch stood for architecture.

"sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic" is how to remove an old kernel, right? [23:54] cp24eva, Compiz can do the same thing and more. I use it myself on a regular basis as a Mac and Linux dualbooter [23:55] aroman, like if I move the mouse to a corner of a screen and all the windows show up in equally laid out spaces [23:55] awesome_guest: from where?
