[00:00] Hello, I'm trying to decrypt a home folder from a previous install. I know the password to decrypt. How should I go about decrypting? [00:00] rusty149: how would I find that out? [00:00] go to media [00:00] I tried following http://www.theirishpenguin.com/2010/09/26/accessing-your-encrypted-home-directory-in-ubuntu/, but I got no luck. [00:00] and chmod -R 777 disk [00:00] Cru_: sudo blkid [00:00] :)) [00:01] so i have a korg d3200. works fine in win7, but in ubuntu i only see it in lsusb. i don't see it in sudo fdisk -l, and i don't see it in places. it's just a fat32 usb mass storage drive basically, so i'm not sure what's wrong [00:01] Cru_: assuming you know the device path [00:01] rusty149: ah, thank you. yes I do [00:02] Cru_: There are 6 parts to the line [00:02] what`s the problem with k3b it say succes but nothing on cd [00:02] Cru_: UUID=[UUID of device] is the first [00:02] rusty149: ok, i understand that [00:03] Cru_: Then the mount point (same used in mount command) === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [00:03] rusty149: ok so far still [00:03] Cru_: Then type e.g etx4, ntfs [00:04] Cru_: Seperated by spaces [00:04] Alright, let's simplify the problem. I want to delete a 'device' from the sidebar (places pane) of nautilus. Don't really care if it's dirty and if it's really gone or not, I just don't want to see it.... I just can't figure out where this information is gathered from. [00:04] rusty149: i noticed theres a big amount of spaced bettween mounted location and ext4...do i need to make sure it is the same? [00:04] Cru_: no, thats for readability, just one will do [00:05] Anyone on encrypted folders? I kinda want my documents back. :/ [00:05] is there a text editor that constantly saves and re-reads from disk? something like "watch cat filename" [00:05] Cru_: What is the type? [00:05] (but with editing support) [00:05] rusty149: and after ext4 do I need to put anything. on the 2nd line it has an errors=remount for the original hard drive [00:05] rusty149: ext4 [00:06] For parts 3, 4 & 6. defaults 0 2 [00:07] rusty149: this is what my code looks like right now: "uuid=(uuid #) /mnt ext4 [00:08] Cru_: uuid=(uuid #) /mnt ext4 defaults 0 2 [00:08] ah, ok [00:08] Cru_: Assuming you are using a real UUID [00:08] rusty149: sweet. save it and give it a try? [00:08] Is there a way to get gnome-terminal to pass F1 through rather than opening the gnome help? [00:09] Cru_: Should be fine what did you use to edit it? [00:09] so i have a korg d3200. works fine in win7, but in ubuntu i only see it in lsusb. i don't see it in sudo fdisk -l, and i don't see it in places. it's just a fat32 usb mass storage drive basically, so i'm not sure what's wrong [00:09] rusty149: gedit (via sudo command through terminal) [00:10] Nevermind, got it [00:10] Hello, I'm trying to decrypt a home folder from a previous install. I know the password to decrypt. How should I go about decrypting? [00:11] I tried following http://www.theirishpenguin.com/2010/09/26/accessing-your-encrypted-home-directory-in-ubuntu/, but I got no luck. === jra is now known as Guest45554 [00:11] Cru_: Should work fine, let us know of any problems :) [00:13] arrrghhh: Try reconnecting it and rerunning sudo fdisk -l [00:13] rusty149, i have tried that, different USB ports, different cables... nothing. [00:13] always shows up in lsusb tho. [00:14] arrrghhh: Is it in sudo blkid [00:15] rusty149, didn't know about that one 1 sec [00:16] rusty149, nope, i only see ntfs swap and ext4. nothing vfat, fat32... [00:19] arrrghhh: Can you see it in the disk utility? [00:19] hi [00:19] `hi [00:20] rusty149, unfortunately not. it wasn't working in windows either, until i moved it to a back usb port. i tried another pc and it worked flawlessly, so now i'm on a back usb port. [00:20] hey all [00:20] hi [00:21] i'm not sure what to do [00:21] basically I bought an xt2 thinking it was support [00:21] but i'm having problems with the proprietary wireless card [00:21] i just did an update, and the proprietary broadcomm driver deactivated itself [00:21] arrrghhh: That is odd. It sounds like something wrong with the config/partitions (for ubuntu at least). I would recommand using GParted to view device. [00:22] Is it possible too hot boot a newer ubuntu from an older image? [00:22] botcity, following up - two pastebin (502454 and 5551644) - I have asked about this problem for a couple of months, [00:22] arrrghhh: It should be /dev/sdb if you only have 1 other drive [00:22] and when I try ti reactivate it, it tells me the installation of the driver failed [00:22] rusty149, it doesn't see it there either... it's very odd, as it does show up in lsusb. says KORG and everything. i googled a bit, and one guy had an issue with it in linux... he said he solved it with a different cable... [00:22] and to check the jockey log [00:22] which says: [00:23] rusty149, i have several external usb hard drives plugged into this rig... that shouldn't make a difference should it? [00:23] any ideas? [00:23] I tried following http://www.theirishpenguin.com/2010/09/26/accessing-your-encrypted-home-directory-in-ubuntu/, but I got no luck. [00:23] Hello, I'm trying to decrypt a home folder from a previous install. I know the password to decrypt. How should I go about decrypting? [00:23] hello. upon running "sudo ./configure && make && make install" I get the following error and it exits > /usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/lib/libogg.so.0.7.1': Permission denied [00:23] can anyone point me in the right direction for such a simple problem [00:23] arrrghhh: Only if the is something wrong with the port/bus you are using [00:23] arrrghhh: Can you pastebin the lsusb [00:24] rusty149, sure [00:24] where is the device manager for ubuntu netbook remix 10.10? [00:24] technicianTom: sudo would only apply to the first command in that chain [00:24] ahh [00:24] rusty149, http://pastebin.com/tj8b5XcU [00:25] well I ran the whole chain because ./configure wasn't creating a make or makefile [00:25] what I used && it seemed to work fine [00:25] any suggestions with that? [00:25] technicianTom: you might not have been 'cd''ed into the right directory [00:25] Doesn't anyone know how to decrypt an encrypted home directory? [00:26] technicianTom: no idea just guessing there, but normally typing each individual command to compile isn't much of a hassle anyway [00:26] hello, how can I remove a program that I installed using "make install"??? [00:26] arrrghhh:There is only one there. Can you try a different port when you know works for another drive and paste the fdisk -l with it. [00:26] Is it possible too hot boot a newer ubuntu from an older image? [00:26] usr_, you still have the source? make uninstall if so [00:26] technicianTom: try ./configure && make && sudo make install [00:27] aeon-ltd: no it's not. but the problem is when im in the cwd of ./configure and I run it, it doesn't creat a make and makefile in the same directory. [00:27] !checkinstall [00:27] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [00:27] technicianTom: with a sudo in front aswell [00:27] rusty149, oh yea sorry i only pasted the line for the korg... you want all the other garbage too? [00:27] iflema: thanks let me try. [00:27] usr_, checkinstall as suggested by bastidrazor is great as well. love deb's :D [00:28] arrrghhh: Is this Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [00:29] rusty149, technically ubuntu studio. installed ubuntu 10.10 desktop, then the ubuntu-studio packages on top. [00:29] #join /openbsd [00:29] rusty149, x64 === The-Kernel is now known as TheoKernel [00:30] arrrghhh: I did the same install, did you have any problems with the mouse/keyboard? [00:30] i am having a problem with the Update Manager.... the updates downloaded and it's stuck @ "Unpacking replacement dpkg ... " and is absolutely stuck. any ideas? [00:30] Sp4zc0r3, no... you did? [00:31] Can anyone help me with this: udisks detects a device which it shouldn't (http://pastebin.com/e6VA2Pa4) and I want it gone. So how does one remove a loop device from udisks? (it's unmounted and unusable) [00:31] Still am, it's hard to describe, but the mouse will "attach" itself to one window at a time, can't alt/tab to another one, and I have to disconnect the mouse every time I want to switch windows. [00:31] Hello, I'm trying to decrypt a home folder from a previous install. I know the password to decrypt. How should I go about decrypting? [00:31] alguem do brasil? [00:31] Sp4zc0r3, very odd. you don't experience it with vanilla ubuntu? you can run the audio package on regular ubuntu desktop, you don't need the studio desktop. [00:32] i am having a problem with the Update Manager.... the updates downloaded and it's stuck @ "Unpacking replacement dpkg ... " and is absolutely stuck. any ideas? [00:32] Problem is I had a computer tech install this at a repair store. He said it was working for him, but maybe he didn't test it much? [00:32] Sterist:Is it still in the command? [00:33] rusty149 what do you mean by "in the command" ? [00:33] From the forums I read, it seems like a common 10.10 problem. there's a few fixes, but I'm not sure how to do them (no decent instructions) [00:33] how can I change permissions of a folder so that it can only be accessed from terminal using sudo?? [00:33] iflema: thanks for the help. seems to be working like it should have the first time. I have no idea what went wrong the first few times I tried. [00:33] Sterist: Are you back to the prompt or is the command still running? === jade is now known as Guest88914 [00:33] Grr [00:34] rusty149 still running & it's basically idle [00:34] such as permissions for the /root folder that cannot be accessed from nautilus [00:34] hello everyone! I've a question - How do I tell if my Ubuntu 10.10 (upgraded from 9.04) is using GRUB2 === Guest88914 is now known as just_jade [00:34] technicianTom the 'install' part needs SuperUser rights and each command that needs, needs it :P [00:35] just_jade: grub-install -v [00:35] ty rusty149, I'll try that [00:35] Sterist: Ctrl+c will end the command [00:36] Arrrghhh: Did I miss the paste? [00:36] rusty149, sorry i never heard back, you want the full output of lsusb? i just gave you the one line with the korg on it. [00:36] rusty149 - I guess I m using grub-install (GRUB) 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3. Would you know how I can *temporarily-test* grub2, before I can switch completely? [00:36] rusty149 didn't do anything. are you referring to within a terminal or the update manager? lol [00:36] rusty149 - Uumm is there a how-to that I can use? [00:37] iflema: yeah I feel stupid. sudo is messing me up. thanks though. [00:37] technicianTom there is also sudo -i which will run the termina as root, ctrl+D or 'exit' when finished..... [00:37] just_jade: GRUB 1.98 is GRUB2 [00:37] Okay for those interested (persistent loopback devices in nautilus), found the solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554330/comments/4 [00:37] arrrghhh: Yeah full output and sudo fdisk -l [00:37] iflema: oh ok thanks. that helps a lot. not so much of an annoyance having to sudo things all the time. [00:37] Hello, everyone! I installed Ubuntu a second time on my system preserving all the home directories. However, one of them is encrypted WITH MY DOCUMENTS ON THEM. Is there a way to decrypt the home directory? I've been at this problem for nearly 3 hours! [00:37] chrome occasional stalls for several seconds, is this just because it spawns to many tasks?

[01:01] Curly_Q: Ubuntu is more bleeding edge and has newer packages, CentOS is compatible but about 3-months behind Red Hat on Updates, and a few more behind with Red Hat 6. Red Hat requires a subscription for updates and to access the Red Hat network which is nice for servers. Red Hat and Cent are both older packages and RPM based vs Aptitude based. [01:01] sion: ^^ [01:01] amosk, what...? [01:02] sion: is it mounted to any point ? [01:02] Am I screwed? [01:02] rusty149 - would you know where grub 2 has its log files? [01:02] arrrghhh: OK, on windows does it usually show as a storage device (in MyComputer/Device Manager) or is it accessed though a software app [01:02] falcon1620, I beg to differ. Fedora and Arch are both more cutting edge [01:02] sion if you made it a primary partition, not a logiccal partition, it will do that [01:02] sion but there may be other causes === away277 is now known as bustedup277 [01:03] pleaaase someone help! [01:03] dimmac92 - wassup? [01:04] !ask | dimmac92 [01:04] dimmac92: 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. :-) [01:04] i have troubles with the dvd playback!! [01:04] So the consensis is that CentOS is behind times and needs Red Hat's approval and money and updates whereas Ubuntu is up to date, FREE and this is why 1407 people are here on this channel. [01:04] dimmac92 - ubuntu version? [01:04] Curly_Q, 1406. [01:04] yes. i installed this dvdread4 or whatever but it still doesn't work [01:04] LOL Ok then... The packages are newer. But Ubuntu is just as stable as Red Hat, and there are nice Server distros and support with out the older packages, that's all I was trying to point out... === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [01:05] My computer just crashed :( [01:05] Ubuntu is good. CentOS is old. Fedora is good, but GRUB2 based. Arch is awesome [01:05] !ot [01:05] Red Hat you pay for so ***k that [01:05] I chose the default settings [01:05] #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! [01:05] Falcon, I see the light with what you just said. Thanks for the review. :) [01:05] SilentSpoon Gentoo is nice to [01:05] Lantchips, I never had much success with Gentoo or Mint [01:06] SilentSpoon :( [01:06] :fizy[laptop] How did you fix it? [01:06] Lantchips, I know :( [01:06] Hey guys and girl - I can't seem to access mounts with a nfs mount. Is there some way to fix that? Samba shares seems to show them... [01:06] CentOS may have ridden the wave of goodness with Linux but it may be faltering with a lack of interest. Ubuntu seems to be flourishing here. [01:06] *girls [01:07] sion reintall ubuntu. [01:07] Using the disk? [01:07] sion i did it the same day, so i didnt lose anything [01:07] sion yes [01:07] Will I have to format the drive again? [01:07] yes and no [01:07] ? [01:07] SilentSpoon, the floor is yours here. [01:08] Sterist: just_jade: lsof | grep /var/lib/dpkg/lock That would have shown the process using the file [01:08] What do youmean yes and no? [01:08] rusty149 just_jade okay rebooting fixed the lock problem but now i'm getting: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [01:08] just delete the ubuntu and swap space partiton [01:08] rusty149, that's the thing, it shows up just like a usb mass storage device. fat32. sorry, i stepped away. [01:08] any other partitions are fine [01:08] Ummm, I don't understand [01:08] rusty149 just_jade no red flags about that command ? [01:08] Delete ubuntu? [01:08] Curly_Q, huh? [01:08] rusty149, like i said it struggled with this new rig at first with the front usb ports, but for whatever reason the back usb ports seem to be no problem. [01:08] yes delete ubuntu [01:08] I have tried just about every Linux Distro. Also BSD as well. [01:08] Sterist: No I've done that one before [01:08] Sterist - well, I'd do as it advised.. but rusty149 may know better. [01:08] and reinstall it from scratch [01:09] you can make backups if you wish [01:09] of your documents [01:09] How do I delete ubuntu? [01:09] Does that mean I would lose all my info? [01:09] delete the partition [01:09] how do I browse files as root so that I can delete anything? [01:09] yes all data goes bye bye' [01:09] arrrghhh: Are you saying it works on Ubuntu in the back ports? [01:09] Oh poo!!!! [01:09] Lots of folks prefer Debian or BSD over Red Hat or Ubuntu. [01:09] SilentSpoon, you can run nautilus as root with gksu... not recommended tho. [01:09] Looks like I have to back up all my crap [01:09] SilentSpoon: sudo filemanagerofchoixe [01:10] *choice [01:10] That does it, I'm going back to Windows 7 [01:10] rusty149 just_jade yay happy me. thank yous :) [01:10] Stupid ubuntu, how could it be so stupid that it installed in such a retarded way? [01:10] aeon-ltd, arrrghhh, thank you. just deleting everything that has to do with firefox [01:11] i just bought a used laptop and im running ubuntu and my cd drive disappears in file browser when i insert a windows boot cd and it isnt recognized when i try to boot from it. however, it will recognize and boot from an ubuntu cd and has n problem recognizing blank cds [01:11] Sterist: No prob. If it wasn;t 2am where I am I would have remembered that command sooner [01:11] rusty149, no, i only got it working in windows using a back port. sorry for being vague. [01:11] arrrghhh: What device is it, I am a sound engineer btw [01:11] hi, whats a good file editor for gnome (looking for something like kate) [01:12] catfish: how about...kate¿¿ [01:12] rusty149, korg d3200? think i said that :P [01:12] catfish - there isnt [01:12] ooh for gnome [01:12] hehe [01:12] AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[01:13] Sterist: check in wine's web¿¿ [01:14] SilentSpoon, use gksu tho. don't use sudo if you're running a gui app from the run line. [01:14] Are you masonophobic ender2070? [01:14] would sudo wget nightly.mozilla.org get me nightly? [01:14] ender2070: stop that you to [01:14] rusty149, you have to enter usb mode, which i have done ;) [01:14] it doesn't show in lsusb until i put it in usb mode [01:14] !troll | sion [01:14] sion: trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [01:14] stfu sion go away [01:14] xangua two* [01:14] ok [01:14] 0/10 [01:14] Sion slow down. Complain to me and tell me what and how you need to fix your problem. [01:15] sion is mad he was outed [01:15] Basically I have to format my hard drive apparently [01:15] problem sion? (coolface.jpg) [01:15] Sion that is very simple. What else do you need to do? [01:15] chrome occasional stalls for several seconds, is this just because it spawns to many tasks? [01:15] It's only been a month since I did that last but I've downloaded so much stufff and now I have to back it all up again! [01:15] hi room [01:16] hi r3l1c [01:16] Isn't there a way I can reinstall ubuntu without formatting the hard drive? [01:16] tarvid: no idea, better use chromium ;) [01:16] yeah [01:16] sion yes [01:16] sion: mmm well that's the format idea... why format¿¿ [01:16] Synaptic package manager? [01:16] just run the installed [01:16] Sion, just as a good reminder as Marther Stuart would say: "It is a good thing..." if you backup before you run into problems. [01:16] anyone have any ideas about my disappearing drive issue [01:16] sion: restate your current issues. [01:16] sorry I walked into the middle of the chat. sorry bout that [01:17] My Ubuntu copy has a serious problem, when I shut down the computer it won't do it properly. Everytime it starts up it performs a disk check and it comes up with a message saying that "The disk drive for /tmp is not ready yet or not present". Can anyone advise me on how to fix this? [01:17] whattodo: elaborate [01:17] Can't update the version of ubuntu as there is no /tmp folder [01:17] sion: did you manually make partitions for ubuntu¿¿ [01:17] Sion, you can do anything with Ubuntu and re-install it over and over again many times without problems. [01:17] sion: give me the output of the command "cat /etc/fstab" [01:18] It's causing the computer to freeze and crash frequently [01:18] r31l1c: when i put in a windows boot cd, i cant boot from it and in ubuntu my cd drive disappears. however, it boots from an ubuntu cd and the drive stays there [01:18] Sion updating has nothing to do with installation.j [01:18] no such file directory [01:18] I know that Curly_Q [01:18] ls /etc/fstab [01:18] Tmp folders is a Windows thing. [01:18] I was just saying [01:18] ls /etc [01:19] so does UP replace UCP? I cant find anywhere on the website where its says where you can take the test or for how much [01:19] WhatToDo: please hold [01:19] Well obviously not Curly_Q otherwise it wouldn't be an issue [01:19] r31l1c: yeah, no problem. i got plenty of time :D [01:20] Stop thinking about Temp folders. If you re-install an OS or Kernel or anything the Temp folders are deleted by default. [01:20] sion: you have to have an /etc/fstab [01:20] Curly_Q, tmp is Ubuntu also [01:20] sion: what is the output from "sudo cat /etc/fstab" [01:20] hey guys. im trying to install an extension to openoffice write and im getting some sort of java exception. "CannotRegisterImplementationException" [01:20] I guess I must be misunderstanding you r3l1c, what do you want me to do? [01:21] Curly_Q, ~/tmp [01:21] What do I use to uncompress a windows .exe file.. I'm looking for a color monitor profile, file.. ie icc or similar. [01:21] SilentSpoon, true, but it all began with Microsoft's MRU MRUI and Tempfiles and folders. Just to make the OS run faster. [01:21] sion: run the command "sudo cat /etc/fstab" in the terminal and give me the output [01:21] Curly_Q There definitely are /tmp directories in ubuntu, look in your folders and you'll find one guaranteed [01:21] please help when i click on Network Connection i dont see any but i can get on the nwt [01:21] Curly_Q, debatable [01:21] please help when i click on Network Connection i dont see any but i can get on the internet [01:22] Curly_Q: tmp exists in / "root" [01:22] hello everyone, what drop down file do i chose to upload a screen shot to the IRC chat?

[01:26] rusty149: archive manager? no.. it doesn't even give that option on a right mouse click.. suppose I could try from cli but if AM recognized .exe then the option would be there.

[01:27] nico_: You are the device manager! [01:27] r3l1c: current directory should not effect that command [01:28] :-D [01:28] rusty149: tried.. nothing listed in that option for this file type.. It's totally blank.. nothing in the dropdown. [01:28] nico_: no, but something like lsusb or lspci should find it [01:28] r3l1c: nope, just the hdd [01:28] rusty149: his command was not found "$PATH is messed up I think" [01:28] r3l1c, hahah ok [01:28] aeon-ltd, ok , will try , thanks [01:29] adobe flash labs website has a 10.2 32bit versions that supposedly supports 64bit, but its only a .tar with one file...no instructions [01:29] r3l1c: Oh you mean sudo /bin/cat /etc/fstab [01:29] Nico as long as you are Superuser or Root acces you have similar if not the same authority as Windows Device Manager. [01:29] rusty149: that will work too but is pwd was /bin [01:30] rusty149: could you give WhatToDo: a hand? [01:30] how do i get drivers for mp3, FLAC, etc etc [01:30] r3l1c: yeah but that will on effect it if you do, sudo ./cat /etc/fstab [01:30] rusty149, no other ideas...? i guess i can try yet another usb port, but since i got it working in windows i immediately booted into linux... he wants to use ubuntu-studio for his studio work, not win7 :P [01:31] Nico the only difference between Windows Root and Ubuntu Root is that Ubuntu Root needs to be a little bit more cautious and asks for a further authentication to make changes in the Root Directory. [01:31] Scunizi: You should get a second window [01:31] rusty149: nope [01:31] rusty149, can u please help me when i try runing thos commands i keep getting since script you are attempting to invoke has be converte to an upstart job u may also use restart -network-manager but when i do that it says unknow instance [01:31] arrrghhh: I was just looking into the manual but site isn;t working???

[01:32] zipperhead: those commands will still run though [01:33] rusty149, but why do i get thos messages is this something new in ubuntu 10 [01:33] zipperhead: It is just a suggestion [01:34] !pastebin [01:34] 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.

[01:36] rusty149, just did it and nothing still the same but i can connect to the net === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [01:36] rusty149: hummm... is file-roller specific to gnome and ubuntu? I'm running Kubuntu and the kde desktop.. file-roller "command not found" [01:36] arrrghhh: How big is the drive? [01:37] EEMPHASISS, perhaps the DVD disk is not compatible with the PAL System software. [01:37] rusty149, i think it's an 80gb originally... is that important? [01:38] rusty149, yup 80gb. [01:38] Curly_Q: original disk is PAL - PAL is a format for TV Receivers [01:38] usb has 8.0gb. [01:38] Most Disks are NTSC though. [01:38] rusty149, it's sliced into 5 partitions [01:39] A TV Receiver is not a DVD player nor a DISK. [01:39] what is the best IRC client for ubuntu? [01:39] arrrghhh: are they all fat32 [01:40] Curly_Q: original disk is PAL format, 6.4 GB. Dvd95 produced a 4.4 GB disk: this disk is rejected by PS2 as "TV system doesn't match." [01:40] Jwiapb I like pidgeon I think its called :) [01:40] hey you guys...i just set up a shared folder...how can i find it from another ubuntu computer [01:40] rusty149, well 4 partitions are for the korg basically. there's an 8gb partition for fat32 transferring between the device and computers. [01:41] cannonfodder: Places / Network. [01:42] is it not possible to extract files via gnome, to /usr/lib/* ? [01:42] must terminal be used? [01:42] EEMPHASISS im on netbook edition 10.04 there is no "Places" [01:42] arrrghhh: well, if thats the case then at leaset 2 of them are on an extended partition. [01:43] EEMPHASISS it may be just a simple disk replacement such as a DVD-R -N or a Read Write issue and not a software issue. [01:43] rusty149, the computer should never see the four partitions. it should only see the one fat32. as i understand it, the four partitions are basically raw and the korg uses it for time-based storage. [01:44] hello [01:45] ar0n: ALT-F2 then type gksudo nautilus [01:45] EEMPHASISS I was in a quandry after seeing all of the different disks and softwares to be installed and used.j [01:45] Is there a calendar program for linux/Ubuntu that will auto e-mail? [01:45] rusty149: Try booting a live cd/usb and connecting only the Korg drive. Then open with GParted. The computer should see them depending on the file system. Windows usually ignores file systems because it can not read them. But ubuntu should be able to. Which is fine. [01:46] what is the best way to update a remote machine if i don't have physical access... [01:46] arrrghhh: Try booting a live cd/usb and connecting only the Korg drive. Then open with GParted. The computer should see them depending on the file system. Windows usually ignores file systems because it can not read them. But ubuntu should be able to. Which is fine. [01:46] ssh isn't recommended but i can't think of any other way [01:46] arrrghhh: That should tell you more about the disk at least [01:47] I've got an external hard drive, that spins up when i plug it in, but i can't actually do anything with it, because everything thinks it's busy or exclusively mounted by another program. [01:47] SSH is always recommended.. [01:47] fsck thinks it's exclusively mounted, disk utility thinks it's busy..... [01:47] billybigrigger: screen and ssh. screen will keep all ssh connections alive even if you lose connection [01:48] rusty149, hrm... ok. i can try on my laptop i guess, see if there's a difference. when it recognized it on my lappy i decided to try the back usb ports... [01:48] Anyone know of a "better" (i.e. more user options regarding output format) version of Dvd95? [01:48] thanks now i just need to find out if anyone has actually tried this new version of flash player "square" [01:48] arrrghhh: Does your laptop run Ubuntu? [01:48] so in ubuntu to get a thumbdrive to autorun something I need to put it in .config/autostart/autostart.desktop is that right? [01:50] o.O now that i've unpugged the busy drive, my computer still thinks it exists..... [01:50] rusty149, does both win7 and ubuntu. [01:50] my laptop mic doesnt work can someone help?

("TV system doesn't match") [01:53] EEMPHASISS, handbrake [01:54] ar0n: you need to be root to right to /usr/lib [01:54] rusty i do not see that folder in there [01:54] is it hidden perhaps?

The fan spins when it boots and then stops. I booted to the ubuntu USB drive and I'd like to see if the fan kicks on after a certain amount of work. [01:58] Guest71017, have you made sujre you installed restricted drivers [01:58] detrix42: Assign the printer a static IP. Something below DHCP pool. For my linksys, I gave the printer 192.168.1.10. Then you will ALAWAYS know the IP [01:59] detrix42: Then find the printer at 192.168.1.10 [01:59] firefox 4 fps: 47. Chromium fps: 21 [01:59] Jeffreyf: I have seen no way to set the printer to a static ip. [02:00] * Snump puts his networked printers at 192.168.1.200 and above. [02:00] jeffreyf: I will check again [02:00] Snump: stress, you might have to apt-get it, then adjust the settings to actually put it at full potential [02:00] detrix42: You should have the option in the panel to set the IP. You shouldn't need to worry about the gateway, but that should be 102.168.1.1 [02:00] Snump: cpuburn [02:00] detrix42: oops 192.168.1.1 [02:00] ar0n, I installed the restricted drivers but then I had problems with mouse lag and different graphical glitches [02:00] Snump: the command afterwards would be burnP6 [02:01] zaery: anything that comes with the defauly live USB? The machine doesn't have a hard drive not is it networked. Its a laptop and its completely apart, connected to an externam monitor to diagnose. [02:01] Snump: you can apt-get install cpuburn can you? [02:01] rusty not sure if it fixed anything [02:01] but flash is working [02:01] not that i know of :/ [02:01] I've been working on IP tables for hours.. 2(NIC) mascarade - Local boxes can ssh the server... server can ping google... but i can't get it to forward my local boxes info to the internet [02:01] Snump: get kubuntu, KDE should hog the CPU enough [02:01] what my issue is on some webpages when i scroll down it will cause whatever flash window thats open to like flash and restart sometmes [02:01] hmm... [02:02] Snump: then go grab a fire extinguisher [02:02] Snump: For the standard linksys, that should be ok. I'm running DD-WRT, which may use that IP as it doesn't assign sequentially like the linksys firmware does [02:02] wait a sec... I can use the ethernet port. duh... hold on a sec,.

You said you didn't know if it was working [02:04] so, can anyone of you tell me, why can't i mount .iso files larger than 4.7gb? i searched all the web, found no useful answers.. nor gmountiso, nor fuseiso works.

However, I was looking for a way to NOT drop connections between moving from AP1 to AP2 etc [02:10] adriankeks: are you using the free driver? if you don't know then you are [02:10] racecar56, hmm...i have problems with both [02:10] is there anything I can do to stop SSH sessions from dropping, or would I need to reconfigure the APs to be bridged? [02:10] racecar56, the free one works better though [02:10] bezao: click on the network manager icon...it's somewhere in the panel, then click edit connections [02:10] racecar56, i am using the free one [02:11] detrix42: is that a F4500? [02:11] adriankeks: ok, and to be exact i've got an eeepc 1201t with radeon hd 3200 === bittwist_ is now known as bittwist [02:11] where can I go to find all my shares?

[02:14] racecar56: do you know where i can go that could lead me in the right direction because i really like the netbook interface? [02:14] adriankeks: i don't really know what to tell you but it may be an OS-version problem (a bug in ubuntu) [02:14] iflema: you there? [02:15] jeffreyf: thanks, its working I found the IP info. [02:15] detrix42: Cool! Good luck. [02:15] adriankeks: does it happen anywhere else (such as some other desktop environment...if you've tried that)?

[02:17] bezao: i don't know but you could try moving it to /etc/resolv.conf.old or something and see if it comes back [02:17] Stealthc give it a try, [02:17] racecar56 ok, let me try :D [02:17] racecar56: perhaps...maybe i should just wait until it fixes itself with an update...lol [02:17] bezao: it will redo /tec/resolv.conf if you do a dhclient [02:18] adriankeks: or maybe it could be a special "feature" in the netbook edition that brings a glitch..and yes, that may help [02:18] sacarlson cool, thanks [02:18] racecar56: i've been searching the forums and i find people with the same problems but no solutions as of yet [02:19] adriankeks: ok...i hope you can find a solution one way or another [02:19] racecar56: all I've tried was both drivers...i dont really know what else to do from there [02:20] adriankeks: do you have the same GPU that i do? maybe it's a GPU model specific problem [02:20] + [02:20] adriankeks: give me the output of lspci|grep VGA [02:20] hi i execute this nothing happens http://pastebin.com/wZtvrHxp [02:20] bazhang: Do you have idea where firefox tmp store videos when we stream them?

[02:24] racecar56: I'm still kind of a noob in ubuntu can u point me in the right direction to perhaps fix this problem [02:24] it is not associating the file correctly, but I don't get that since it can run the file when it is on my desktop [02:24] !mount| Phoenix__ [02:24] Phoenix__: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [02:24] racecar56: like where to look for a solution [02:24] psycho_oreos, i can't find out the drive information with fdisk -l either :S? [02:24] So I don't know what to mount [02:24] adriankeks: you could try doing this in a console: sudo service gdm stop && sudo X -configure && sudo service gdm start [02:24] can anyone help me with that or are these known issues? [02:25] adriankeks: in the case of fglrx, run aticonfig --initial before sudo service gdm start [02:25] mh when i create a .bashrc in my home folder and put some exports in it [02:25] I´m trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a usb stick.

[02:25] everythings good now thanks [02:26] duke_: it apears you have a script with two functions that are never run, see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-shell-script-function-examples/ [02:26] Phoenix__, nw [02:26] xtc_, I use piviti [02:26] Idol_Mind: do you have less than 80gb worth of ubuntu stuff? [02:26] so no good reads on hwo to trouble shoot issues with ubuntu for those of us still learning?? [02:26] under add application box it won't let me specify something to run the .desktop file [02:26] Idol_Mind: Thank you [02:26] this is really gay. Can anybody figure this out? [02:26] I set it to autorun prompt... which always fails [02:26] i try out now piviti [02:26] ;) [02:26] aeon-ltd, yes, but I've got huge partitions setup (was trying to utilize whole disk) [02:27] br right back ;) [02:27] Anyone know of a Linux/DansGuardian APPLIANCE for INLINE installation (2 nics)? [02:27] say it cannot find autorun program [02:27] racecar56: sorry but do i enter sudo service gdm stop && sudo X -configure && sudo service gdm start as 3 different commands or copy paste the whole thing [02:27] Idol_Mind: then i would shrink the ubuntu partitions down to less than 80gb, and clonezilla them [02:27] adriankeks: you enter all of that in one line [02:27] hello, i want to boot a HP 8710p from my bootable usb disk, a usb3 device, but it won't show up in boot menu, any ideas ? [02:27] Idol_Mind: don't quote me on 100% smoothness of this process [02:27] adriankeks: i put &&'s because i didn't want to say too many lines here [02:28] aeon-ltd, do I need to worry about "fragmentation" like you do with windows? [02:28] racecar56: k...thanks [02:28] what is this function deklaration for in the bash file ... its giving me no output [02:28] Idol_Mind: probably not, ask in the channel if anyone has done something like this before [02:28] Nobody on a mac?

[02:29] adriankeks: y/w, and i saw this: "The targeted netbooks were intel GPU graphic mainly and was heavily tested on nvidia as well. You may encounter visual glitches, and Unity may not work altogether on some ATI cards.", i thought they said nvidia and intel didn't work well...but they don't work well at *all*, let alone ubuntu, for me...heheh [02:29] xtc_, pitivi [02:29] bazhang, my bad, i can't spell [02:29] oh Thank [02:29] i typed wrong :S [02:29] sorry [02:29] duke_: I'm not sure what your function should do, seems to be setup to do nothing [02:30] duke_: maybe it's a source script? [02:30] will this work if i create a ~/.bashrc file and fill http://pastebin.com/SJXsVUJa [02:31] test [02:32] duke_: I think if you source the script it will add two functions to your shell session [02:32] so can anyone point me in some noobie directions here on how to examine my current ubuntu install and see if there is any fine tuning performance changes i can make or anything along them lines??

[02:35] thank you [02:35] duke_: I would read the instrutions where you got it but from reading what it does you would source nameofyourscript and then you could use the added functions setdb and whichdb [02:35] adriankeks: sometimes switching terminals may freeze your system, it shouldn't cause any harm [02:35] Cpt_Zyph, just disable, fusion-icon (iirc) is a one-click panel disabler of that [02:35] zaery: no it should be /dev/sdc1 or sdc2 etc [02:35] HP 8710p can boot from usb disks, but not from this 'usb3' disk on which I have ubuntu installed...can anyone help ?

My problem is the usb is not recognized as a bootable drive... [02:44] thanks for all the links everyone! Im reading :) [02:44] zaery: reconnect device [02:45] zaery: sudo sync && sudo swapoff /dev/sdc2 && sudo umount /dev/sdc1 [02:46] now the drive is physically disconnected, but gparted and disk utility still "see" it [02:46] fedxc: well yes, in my experience , usb has always seemed impossible to boot from on a mac, lame! :p but as i said, with a detour to CDrom, there should be a way to do it, though i never tried it myself [02:46] zaery: reconnect it and then run the last commands I said [02:46] fedxc: how about running ubuntu inside OSX in a virtual machine? [02:47] tim167: will try that right now (boot cd first). About virtual machine: I need the real thing for testing proposes [02:48] tim167: Macs do not boot from USB but they do from Firewire [02:48] fedxc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick tried that ? [02:48] rusty149: yes, that's what i said :) [02:48] people still use firewire? [02:48] as far as i looked there was nothing usefull in that guide might be me have no clue on what im missing but just CANNOT seem to get it enabled and as far as i know and got told my wireless was suppourted [02:49] earwigs: FireWire is still better than USB so Yes people use it [02:49] Yes, you can boot any of the Intel Macs from a USB drive [02:49] actually I have a similar problem right now; a Hp 8710p laptop that won't recognize a USB3 disk to boot from... [02:49] In the past, no Mac could boot OS X from a USB drive. That changed with the Intel Macs, and USB certainly boots an Intel Mac.

[03:50] matloc: it plays and burns DVDs perfectly fine [03:50] you just have to plug it in and in the network options icon you right click preferences [03:50] and enable mobile broadband [03:50] Larriv, yes i had that problem before play with the settings to find the right one [03:50] matlock: i guess so the max burn speed is 4x but i could go slower i suppose [03:50] r00t4rd3d: nothing hapen [03:50] WhatToDo> what kind of dvd did you burn it on? [03:50] +r -r [03:50] ? [03:50] matlock: dvd-rw [03:50] should i get dvd-r [03:50] can make the connection, but appmodemlet cannot find [03:50] Larriv: you may have to edit your xorg.conf file [03:50] or maybe dvd+r [03:50] perhaps the rewritable feature is messing it up? [03:51] that could be [03:51] sorry cannot find modem [03:51] WhatToDo: sounds like it [03:51] or maybe it wasn't properly formatted [03:51] raaaaaaaah [03:51] hiexpo: is there a possible way to know the exactly have the right setting [03:51] ubuntu 10.10 is quite user friendly [03:51] would it matter if i got +r or -r [03:51] LeoBiz: how do i do that [03:51] Larriv, while viewing on your TV , lower the resolution to very low , like 800x600 , then try switching , FN+F5 [03:51] you hardly need to use the command prompt its very good for lay people like me [03:51] WTF... ip tables is allowing oone of my local computers to PING GOOGLE but I can't browse the web?! [03:52] WhatToDo> depends on the brand of disk, and the brand of burner. [03:52] hey guys using a macbook pro 6,2 sound aint working on ubuntu 10.10.. how do i get it to work? [03:52] matlock: they're staples brand and i have no clue about the drive [03:52] if your drive recognizes it try it, and verify after burning [03:52] if it recognizes it after burning, your probably good to go [03:52] r00t4rd3d: you want me to lower the resolution off my laptop screen [03:52] matlock: my drive will recognize any blank dvd, but wont boot from one [03:52] Larriv, yes [03:52] matlock: if you have the iso..check the md5sum with this disc [03:53] or pump the iso out to a usb drive [03:53] matlock: sorry..wrong number;) [03:53] Larriv, in System , Preferences , Monitor [03:53] then you can make the usb bootable [03:53] lol [03:53] WhatToDo: if you have the iso..check the md5sum with this disc [03:53] alright what program do i use? [03:54] magik-: iptablets -L [03:54] md5sum [03:54] md5sum "name of file" [03:54] WhatToDo: before burning a new disk..check the md5sum.. [03:54] Larriv: the file should be located in /etc/x11/ you have to have super user rights to edit and I would suggest making a copy first but if you have the nvidia driver installed you should be able to get it to work by adding a couple of lines [03:54] Larriv, looking at the manual for that laptop the max resolution is 1280 x 800 [03:54] anything higher and it will be out of bounds [03:55] ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i formatted the drive damnit redownlaod time [03:55] r00t4rd3d: ive just tryed what you said and nothing work, there is still no signal to my vga output [03:55] Larriv> are you using 10.10? [03:55] matlock: yes [03:55] ubuntu chooses best possible res for your monitor [03:55] Larriv> ^^ [03:56] nvidia or ati? [03:56] Larriv, did you monitor ever work ? [03:56] r3l1c1: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) has nothing | FORWARD has ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED [03:56] does anyone now how you'd search your packages to find the ones that are not installed all the way, [03:56] ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere (again in FORWARD) then in OUTPUT nothing [03:56] I run the dpkg -l command and get all of them but wondering if theres a faster way [03:57] BlackWeb, filter broken packages in synaptic [03:57] r00t4rd3d: yes i was on windows7 befor and it was working whit the flatscreen, and now when the computer start my vga output work but when ubuntu start there is no more signal to the vga output [03:57] only problem is I was trying to get a package that was in karmic and I'm running intrepid and that wants to uninstall everything [03:57] Does anyone know where I can get Netbook Remix? [03:58] BlackWeb, that is never a good idea. its fully unsupported and guaranteed to break things [03:58] I am on the Netbook site of Ubuntu, and I want the one with Unity. [03:58] But I don't see it [03:58] ksmithrules, the alpha? #ubuntu+1 or did you mean 10.10 [03:58] Larriv, switch to the laptop monitor and hold down FN+Right arrow key [03:58] lol ya, so trying to uninstall just the broken packages themselves, and trying to locate them all [03:59] ksmithrules; 10.10 Netbook runs Unity [03:59] BlackWeb, no telling what other damage has been done. [03:59] bazhang - I have "ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso" [03:59] I installed it, and it boot up into normal Ubuntu? [03:59] ksmithrules, thats it [03:59] I had it go to a txt file by dpkg -l > textfile.txt but its a big list [04:00] is my best bet just reinstalling [04:00] the os [04:00] BlackWeb, yes [04:00] has anyone here got a ZTE G3 modem working? Mine was working untill the last update (out of the box), now, it claims to be connecting, the modem drops to GPRS mode, then fails the connect [04:00] if your video card does not fully support 3d in linux, you will not get unity [04:00] ksmithrules: Use md5sum to check your .iso image [04:00] hello i am trying to compile c code in ubuntu, when i compile it and type the name of the new executable it says command not found? [04:00] r00t4rd3d: the brightness is already at full [04:00] BlackWeb: how many packages broken? [04:00] alrighty Thanks for your help, Have a long wait a head [04:00] 8 [04:00] how about FN+F6 [04:00] rusty: Why woudl I need to check the md5? [04:00] BlackWeb, mixing distro version packages never ends well [04:00] eoss: type the full file path [04:01] that is going to be annoying thx [04:01] http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704415104576065641376054226.html << FBI asks software vendors in Silicon Valley for Backdoors [04:01] So when i do iptables -L what should i see there for iptables to play router [04:01] matlock, offtopic dont paste here [04:01] r00t4rd3d: that have shut down my laptop screen [04:01] eoss: Then cd to directory and use ./filename.c [04:01] but just curious is there a way to specify the ones that are broken from the dpkg -l command [04:02] eoss: . is the current directory [04:02] ok thanks [04:02] when looking at the text file then to the far left theres ii on most of packages [04:02] BlackWeb: what does "sudo apt-get install -f" say? [04:02] but the ones i notice that are broken are iu [04:02] Anyone know how ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso can get into the Unity desktop? [04:02] it says that its gonna install the broken packages along with all my other packages to [04:02] sorry uninstall [04:03] hello [04:03] BlackWeb: how many packages from 8.10 you installed in 9.10? [04:03] then when I tried uninstalling the specific packages that are broken then its telling me that its need by my other packages which have been on there for ever [04:03] ksmithrules, after installing, check for latest hardware drivers, if none are available, then your system may not support Unity Desktop [04:04] r00t4rd3d: when my laptop screen was off, nothing happened to the vga output [04:04] I installed 8 packages into 8.10 from karmic [04:04] was trying to install the calibre package [04:04] BlackWeb, backup and reinstall [04:04] to convert ebooks [04:04] Larriv> you happen to have a vom?? [04:04] Alrighty, Thanks for your helps :) [04:04] The ubuntu installer crapped out on me during installation (it encountered an error and haulted installation, had to force reboot). My windows OS seems fine, but now I cant get back the space I reserved for Ubuntu (50GB). Partition Magic encounters an error, and Gparted see's all the space on the HDD as unallocated.. I already ran chkdsk /r ...Any ideas on what I should do to fix my HDD? [04:05] Razbo: so ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso is the right thing, though? [04:05] matlock: vom ?? what is that [04:05] Larriv> volt ohm meter [04:05] voltimeter [04:05] BlackWeb: if you know those 8 packages..get the debs for those for 8.10..and try manual install with "sudo dpkg -i --force-all pkgname" [04:05] Stinkypants: Is windows OS on a seperate hard disk? [04:05] matlock: i dont have any ohm meter [04:05] the same HDD [04:06] ksmithrules: yes, it just defaults to the gnome desktop if your system doesn't support it out of the box, which some older or proprietary cards won't [04:06] bonjoyee, not a good idea [04:06] rusty149: its on the same HDD that i tried to install ubuntu on. [04:06] can anyone help me with usb-modeswitch [04:06] Hey, can someone help me out with remastersys? I'm trying to get it to use "-noappend" but I'm probably putting it in the wrong place. My terminal line looks like "sudo remastersys dist -noappend" [04:07] Stinkypants: and GParted shows unallocated for entire drive? [04:07] Alright [04:07] bazhang: how exactly? [04:07] rusty149: yes [04:07] need to get it working properly [04:07] Stinkypants: Is the first thing on boot Windows or do you see GRUB? [04:07] bonjoyee, that is never a good option. and he has already mixed distro version packages so the damage is done [04:08] IdleOne, grub.conf says not to edit it, but... (looks over shoulder)... what if you do anyway??? [04:08] matlock: there is signal when the computer start, but when ubuntu is loaded there is no more image on my flat screen [04:08] rusty149: it just boots into windows (doesnt display anything in regards to ubuntu) [04:08] ksmithrules: under Admin > Hardware Drivers you should run a check and see if there is a driver available, this will greatly enhance video performance and enable Unity after installing. [04:08] Larriv> your card, is it intel, nvidia or ati? [04:08] hey guys im running 10.10 on a macbook pro 6,2... audio isnt working at all. any thoughts plz? its really bugging me (cant work without my tunes =D ) [04:08] rusty149: my HDD is 233GB but now it displays 142GB as total size [04:08] Stinkypants: Are you in a live cd? [04:09] bazhang: that was wrong..but if he can get to install these pakages..they'll overwrite the wrong ones... [04:09] matlock: probably intel but im not sure, where can i find it [04:09] rusty149: I'm on Windows XP now [04:09] semitones: mack up the file, make your edits, update grub, reboot. if all works, yay! if not put it back the way it was. [04:09] make* [04:09] err [04:09] backup the file [04:10] Larriv> sudo lshw -C video [04:10] Stinkypants: Boot to the live cd/usb. Then after checking with GParted again install testdisk, sudo apt-get install testdisk [04:10] rusty149: is there no windows equivalent program to recover the lost space? [04:10] How can I add stuff manually to Places? (e.g. smb shares mounted in /etc/fstab) [04:11] IdleOne, doesn't "update-grub" replace grub.conf with a new one? [04:11] semitones: yes that is why you will backup the current grub.cfg [04:11] Stinkypants: None as good and quick and reliable remember you are dealing with file systems which aren't natively supported on Windows that PartionMagic is pants [04:11] matlock: ok it is a intel video card [04:12] Larriv> and you've tried activating it in system > preferences > monitors ?? [04:12] rusty149: k thanks, I'll try that. Also do you know if setting the user name to Administrator during Ubuntu installation, can make it cause errors? [04:13] matlock: yes but after that it turn off automaticly [04:13] Larriv, sorry was working in aircrack what now [04:13] Stinkypants: It would not cause any errors Administratot is not used as a user name in default Ubuntu [04:13] bencahill: Open up a Nautilus window, the places in the left colum should be the same as the Places menu.. you can drag and drop your shares/folders to that list. [04:14] Larriv> when you open system > preferences > monitors does it ask your password? [04:14] Is it possible to remove a live USB when using it? Isn't it copied to ram? [04:14] rusty149: is the admin user name in ubuntu root? [04:14] anyone know if ubuntu for power pc has xorg.conf file and were [04:14] matlock: no [04:14] what directory path [04:14] IdleOne, right, so my current plan is 1. backup grub.conf 2. edit grub.conf 3. run update-grub. It seems like I would end up with a new grub.conf with no customization [04:14] Razbo: thx :) [04:14] Larriv> try gksudo gnome-display-properties [04:14] how do i get my networking to start automatically on startup [04:14] Razbo: sometimes simpler than you think :D [04:15] Stinkypants: Kindof, root is the superuser which has full local control. But you never login as root [04:15] bencahill: If only everything was that way. [04:15] !sudo | Stinkypants [04:15] Stinkypants: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [04:15] Razbo: ;) [04:15] semitones: honestly, you got me confused now :) I suspect someone else would be better suited to help you with this. [04:15] hi all of you,what do you think about torrent tool in ubuntu named tranmission [04:15] rusty149: k, thanks for your help [04:16] transmission seems ok with me [04:16] van7hu, its fine [04:16] haven't had any issues [04:16] IdleOne, hehe, it seems like everybody is confused by grub2. They keep telling me to read the docs :P [04:16] matlock: (gnome-display-properties:2420): Gtk-WARNING **: Ignoring the separator setting [04:16] (gnome-display-properties:2420): Gtk-WARNING **: No object called: [04:16] hello [04:16] hmm, do I need an update before in order to use it ? [04:16] Any one know? [04:16] kyo: Hi [04:17] van7hu, fresh install [04:17] matlock: then the monitor setting opened [04:17] semitones: you got it. === alexlea-T is now known as alexlea-K [04:17] Larriv> ok.. see if you can activate the secondary monitor [04:17] bazhang: not sure about word "fresh" ? [04:17] van7hu, you getting an error? [04:17] sup bazhang [04:18] hiexpo, hi [04:18] Larriv> you may need to logout/back in for changes to take effect (with my nvidia card i have to) [04:18] bazhang: no, it's default installed in ubuntu,but I can not download any torrent with it [04:18] ^^ resets the x server [04:18] matlock: ok i will try this [04:18] Here's another question: why does every time i run "sudo mount -a", smb shares are duplicated in "df -h" [04:18] ? [04:18] van7hu, you dont download torrent files with it. set ff to open .torrent with it [04:19] smokymon: Right-click network applet > Edit Connections, select connection > Edit > Connect Automatically > Apply > Close [04:19] van7hu, or just save to desktop and drop from there [04:19] bazhang : ff mean firefox ? [04:19] van7hu, yep [04:20] is this the latest chrome for ubuntu? 8.0.552.224 [04:20] Hey! [04:20] bazhang, do you think anything BAD will happen if I edit grub.conf which says at the top: "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE" [04:20] tripelb, chromium-browser you mean [04:20] help me! =( [04:20] semitones, yes. if you mean grub.cfg . dont do it [04:21] tripelb: yes [04:21] hm I need help booting ubuntu from a usb on mac, I have followed the wiki instructions and I keep getting "missing operating system" in refit... I just took a look at http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1608823&page=2 but it doesn't make sense how can I make a bootable usb if I don't dd the img? [04:21] bazhang, but, but... all my problems would be solved by editing it... [04:21] hey man that just work for me [04:22] semitones: I guess the worst thing is that every time you update-grub or install a new kernel all your changes made there will be lost [04:22] thanks you alot guys [04:22] bazhang : not sure how to do it, I downloaded a .torrent file from internet (by ff) and it asks me to open by tramission and then wait but nothing happen [04:22] doesnt 10.10 have xorg conf [04:22] wow... qwebirc works over iPhone, from my hosted edition that I have pointed to freenode! [04:22] matlock: thank you alot man [04:22] sacarlson, if that's the worst thing that would happen, I don't see what's so bad about it [04:22] pigy1_alt, by default no [04:22] I am having a problem in my 9.10 ubuntu. when I reboot my PC it shows a black screen File system check failed [04:22] semitones: I could be wrong there, but you can just setup a 40_custom with what you want and it will always be there [04:23] sacarlson, all I'm doing is commenting out a few entries [04:23] Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade [04:23] Full version ($319.99) [04:23] smh... [04:23] trying to apply blank screen fix for g3 [04:23] I'm using ubuntu with 2 NIC's as a firewall/router .. I've added the iptables enabled forwarding.. its forwarding STEAM chat client fine.. but nothing else ? web / irc not forwarding from the computers on the private lan [04:23] SilentSpoon, ? [04:23] sacarlson, actually that's a good idea --- would I then disable the os_prober script [04:23] matlock: i just unpluged the s-video cable then i have restarted my computer, and i whent to the monitor setting and i was able to activer the vga output [04:23] k4r1m: Are you doing this from Ubuntu? [04:23] say need to find xorg [04:23] matlock: thank you alot and have a good day [04:23] rusty149: no from os x since I dont have ubuntu... I'm trying to get it thou. [04:24] good night #ubuntu [04:24] semitones: everything else stays the same just copy and paiste what you want in it and edit it then update-grub and a new menu item will be added with your 40_custom settings [04:25] sacarlson, ok, the thing is I'd like fewer entries, not more, so I'm not sure how to do that [04:25] i have a corrupted file as stated over here: http://pastebin.com/vwTbe3eW [04:25] can unity be used on desktops safely ? [04:25] hi, any way to activate 3d with via s3g unichrome pro igp [04:25] where can find those files and delete those file? [04:25] k4r1m: Can you make a regular boot disk on another machine? [04:25] does anyone know how to configure 5.1 sound in alsa? i manage to make it work in ubuntu-desktop run from a live-cd but not in the ubuntu-server system. here is my configuration http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=4c4553d89a3bdecdda5d4755355df613c55f366f [04:25] i have a corrupted file as stated over here: http://pastebin.com/vwTbe3eW [04:25] i have a corrupted file as stated over here: http://pastebin.com/vwTbe3eW [04:25] where can find those files and delete those file? [04:25] Digistras: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:26] Digistras, dont repeat [04:26] semitones: oh ok got ya, well for that you need to remove all the bootable enties that it finds like rename them or remove them the update-grub and they should all be gone [04:27] semitones: like unistall the kernels that you now have from synaptic [04:27] sacarlson, so if I understand right, edit grub.cfg, then run update-grub? [04:27] my local computer behind the broken iptables router can PING google.. but cant see its web site? wtf [04:27] i have a corrupted file as stated over here: http://pastebin.com/vwTbe3eW [04:27] where can find those files and delete those file? [04:27] rusty149: I only have access to a windows 7 machine and I tried creating a bootable usb on it by following the intruction from ubuntu.com and using the universal usb installer but that gave me the same result "Missing Operating system" [04:27] sacarlson, i've done that step :) I've got three instances of windows in grub, but I only need one [04:28] semitones: there is no need to edit grub.cfg at all just remove the kernels you don't want and update-grub, grub does the editing for you [04:28] semitones: do the window partitions still exist? [04:29] k4r1m: Is that what is on the current USB stick? [04:29] rusty149: yup [04:29] sacarlson, yes, it's windows 7, so one is the main partition, one is a small recovery partition (I think) and one is a partition called "HP_TOOLS" [04:29] k4r1m: Do you have another USB stick? [04:29] sync has been running for 30-45 minutes, anyone know what's the problem? [04:30] rusty149: yeah a few [04:30] Hey #ubuntu! I forgot where you change which sound server you want to use, where can I find that? [04:30] semitones: if you never want to boot the windows partitions that exist then just delete them (the windows partitions) then run update-grub and the etries will be gone [04:30] k4r1m: One the same size? [04:30] sacarlson, well I'd like to be able to access them from the windows bootloader [04:30] if I needed to [04:30] rusty149: no I only have a 2gb and a 16gb(thats the one I already used) and the rest are all 1gb [04:30] semitones: well try your config edit then [04:31] but I guess i can use the 2gb [04:31] Digistras, http://code.google.com/p/fern-wifi-cracker/ <-- makes aircrack much easier to use :D [04:31] Test [04:31] Hello all. Can someone help me fix a router that had a bad flash I set a static ip etc and pinged the gateway, it responds so it can still be fixed. [04:31] bootwait and tftp new firmware [04:32] but this isnt the place for routers [04:32] sacarlson, ok, I'll try [04:32] k4r1m: Use 2x 1GB sticks. It will be easier if they are the same size. And Ubuntu image is <700mb [04:32] I have a WRT54GS2V1 linksys and I don't know the right room for it I'm sorry [04:32] semitones: just backup what you change you can always do a live boot and fix it and all hell breaks [04:32] k4r1m: Format usb stick 1 in the same way [04:32] sacarlson, was that the editing grub.cfg, or copying everything into 40_custom and stopping os_prober [04:33] rusty149: using the windows usb tool? [04:33] k4r1m: yep [04:33] kk [04:33] semitones: no the 40_custom would only add entries you would have to edit the grub.cfg file [04:33] iptables is forwarding packets for only some things to work.. how can I tell what may be blocking (http etc) [04:33] HAS anyone Else had this problem with 10.10? Even after reboot the UI stays glitched or something? http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6752/screenshot8f.png [04:34] ok, i'll back up and edit it. thanks! [04:34] semitones: good luck [04:34] here goes :) [04:34] rusty149: what do I do with the other stick?

[04:35] Guys I'm sorry, but how do you change sound servers/drivers in Ubuntu? [04:36] I forgot how to do it, haven't used Ubuntu since 8.14 [04:36] k4r1m: Open terminal and run: diskutil list [04:36] Maccer: 8.04 :P [04:36] paq7512: you could use avast or avg [04:36] k4r1m: Then pastebin the results [04:37] I don't remember lazarus_, yeesh. [04:37] paq7512: avg has a shell based install [04:37] So uhh, do you happen to know how lazarus_ ? D: [04:37] hello [04:37] paq7512: and even cli [04:37] can i ask a question?

[04:42] hello? [04:42] the problem I have had with dd'ing the image under os x is the disk doesnt seem to have a partition table after the dd not MBR not GUID [04:42] Maccer: sorry got the line one off from paq7512 clamav [04:42] partition table schema* [04:44] hey everyone, I'm trying to compile a program called quore.

Could it be that im using an x64 system? [04:46] k4r1m:yes, run in terminal: eraseDisk disk1 [04:46] Dreamz: I don't think your system has anything to do with that. [04:47] rusty149: eraseDisk is not a command [04:47] i cant seem to find the libary [04:47] y do i keep getting disconected from my internet and it keeps coming back on can anyone help me? [04:47] rusty149: its under diskutil eraseDisk but it needs a format paramater [04:47] Guest5156: what type of connection are you using? wireless or wired? [04:48] the only result sis x11proto-xf86misc-dev - X11 XFree86-Miscellaneous extension wire protocol and I already have that installed [04:48] rusty149: or you want me to use %noformat%?

[04:49] k4r1m: they need to be the same size. i.e dd will copy a 1GB partition to another 1GB partition. === joe75_ is now known as joe75 === newbie is now known as Guest85520 [04:50] How do I get to ubuntu chat [04:50] k4r1m: not enough room to put a 16GB onto a 1GB [04:50] rusty149: I don't have 2 sticks that are the same size... 16gb, 2gb, 1gb..etc :( [04:50] Changeofheart01: you are in ubuntu chat. welcome to the room :) [04:50] Hi all, I just ran into something a bit odd.... [04:51] should i format the 16gb and go create another ubuntu img from windows on the 1gb? [04:51] anyone know how to fix blank screen in 10.10 power pc [04:51] I'm running 10.10, upgraded from 10.04, x86-64. [04:51] k4r1m: yes [04:51] kk brb [04:51] Oh, I thought this was ubuntu support [04:51] Changeofheart01, it is [04:51] rusty149: shall I format the 16gb under the windows machine or leave it? [04:51] im trying to modify xorg.conf but that doesnt exit in X11 path [04:51] bazhang, I edited burg.cfg and nothing bad happened :) [04:51] hooray! [04:51] ? [04:52] But, even though I'm fully updated, and the latest kernel that's installed is 2.6.35-24, my box always boots w/ 2.6.32-24. [04:52] could it be that the program is looking for the xf86misc libary in the wrong place? [04:53] Looking at menu.lst, default is set to 9, and he frist kernel in the list is 2.6.35-24. The 2.6.32-24, whcih is the kerel I get, is listed last..... [04:53] Anyone seen or heard of something like this before? [04:53] mjb_: can you access the grub menu and start with the latest kernal? [04:53] mjb_, I know all about the menu.lst! well, not literally [04:54] hello [04:54] If I burn Ubuntu onto a CD-R and it passes the disk verify.... does that mean the disk is good(shouldn't causes problems/errors during installation)? [04:54] gedit. you mean, boot, and then select a kernel from the menu, manually? [04:54] Yeah, I can try that, haven't done it yet. [04:54] mjb_, the number 9 refers to the line number in the menu -- including the spacers like "default grub options" and stuff [04:55] hey dreamz what did you #include [04:55] k4r1m: no, on Mac Terminal run: diskutil GPTWindows_FAT_32 disk2 [04:55] semitones,my bad, that should have read 0, not 9. [04:55] k4r1m: or what ever the 16GB disk is === joe75_ is now known as joe75 === abcd_ is now known as Guest90481 [04:55] Stinkypants, it means the disk is good, yes. you might still have problems installing it if the cd drive isn't detected correctly or something [04:55] and, doesn't it refer to the entry number in menu.lst, starting w/ nubmering at 0? [04:56] k4r1m: That was wrong sorry not familiar with Mac commands [04:56] mjb_, not entry number, no. It's line number [04:56] folkes, i'm trying to use insserv to change the boot order of some services... is that the right way? [04:56] mjb_, I don't know what it would do if you set default entry to 0 [04:56] guess i'll try and install ubuntu again.... hope it doesn't run into an error again [04:56] semitomes, so, it should read 'default ##" where ### is the first line of the stanza that sepcifies a specific kernel? [04:58] k4r1m: no, on Mac Terminal run: diskutil eraseDisk GPT 16GB disk2 [04:58] mjb_, if the entry you want to boot by default is the 9th line from the top, you would put default 9 [04:58] for example for awhile we were booting windows by default, and it was on the 14th line in grub [04:58] semitones, reading from menu.lst: "Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and `the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used. [04:58] " [04:58] k4r1m: That looks right but check the disk2 bit [04:59] mjb_, that looks right [04:59] entry number means line number I guess [04:59] yeah [04:59] can anyone recommend a usb wifi dongle that works really well natively in ubuntu? G or N, no matter [04:59] +that requires no extra drivers to install [05:01] foolhardy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported perhaps will help?

The alternate .iso produces the same version of Ubuntu but uses a different text-based installer with more functions [07:08] DBoyz: yes, use the md5/sha checksums [07:08] DBoyz: Use md5 [07:08] okay [07:09] I'm in the "Allocate Drive Space" section of the Ubuntu installer... and I see 3 devices in the list... "/dev/sda" , "/dev/sda1" - ntfs , free space [07:09] shouldnt my windows partition be "/dev/sda" [07:09] "/dev/sda" doesnt display a format, size, or anything [07:09] Stinkypants: windows is /dev/sda1 [07:09] Stinkypants: sda is the whole drive sda1 is first partition created [07:10] oooohh [07:10] anyone has a guide or can teach me how to configure Multitouch on ubuntu 10.10 ? thank you:) [07:11] when I go to create a new partition for ubuntu, do i select Primary or Logical for the EXT4 partition, also is the swap partition created automatically from the ext4 partition? [07:12] Stinkypants: Select Primary, mount point: / [07:12] Stinkypants: No, you have to allocate and create a SWAP partition for yourself [07:12] I've been unable to to boot my system for about a week because GRUB is broken and I haven't been able to fix it; does anyone here know about encrypted filesystems and fixing GRUB from a live CD? [07:13] Stinkypants: You have to leave space for the SWAP partition. [07:13] 2GB for the swap partition if I have 1GB of Ram right? also is it Primary or Logical [07:13] Stinkypants: Remember that is the advanced view [07:14] potiphera: have you tried supergrubdisc2 to boot/get in and then repair? [07:14] Stinkypants: That is a guide only, you can have 100GB swap if you wanted [07:14] is there any benefits to having a swap file bigger than 2GB? [07:14] iflema, no, I hadn't heard about it. [07:14] 2GB sounds okay. [07:14] Stinkypants: But you would never use it, so 2GB is fine [07:14] k [07:15] potiphera: its a small is image to search 4 and recover grub2 [07:15] Ehh, SWAP systems become more advanced and faster who knows, but you can use a SWAP file instead. [07:15] rusty149, Flare183: checked, they are the same value [07:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/552079/ [07:15] Oh btw is creating a fat32 partition the bets way to share files between two OS's on the same HDD? [07:15] *best [07:16] iflema, I downgraded GRUB to legacy, so will it still work for me? [07:16] Stinkypants, no, windows supports ntfs [07:16] I mean.... is ntfs better surrported in ubuntu now [07:16] rusty149: windows supports FAT32 as well [07:16] potiphera: i think supergrubdisk is also available.... its just really simple thats all..... [07:17] Stinkypants: yes, but I've had some probables with it [07:17] DBoyz: OK, so the problem is elsewhere. I stiill suggest the alternative install [07:17] x.x [07:17] okay [07:17] potiphera: broken grub you say? [07:17] Flare183: I meant that FAT32 is not the best chose, its only merit is Mac support [07:18] rusty149: ahh ok [07:18] Will supergrub2 work for me, even if the volume is encrypted? [07:18] Stinkypants: Full ntfs support in Ubuntu [07:18] iflema, yeah, it gives me an error saying no init found.

[07:20] rusty149: setting bootabl flag using fdisk doesnt do anything :( [07:20] potiphera: that sounds like you have edited the kernel boot string and messed up!? [07:21] any other suggestion? anyone else maybe? [07:21] k4r1m: does the info say bootable now? [07:21] potiphera: did you edit /boot/grub/grub.conf manually? [07:22] should the swap area partition be Primary of Logical? do i need to set a mount point? and should it be before or after the Ext4 partition? [07:22] sudo iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE ------ Shouldn't i see the effect of that command in iptables -L ????? [07:22] rusty149: no that didnt change [07:23] tell me there is a easy fix to the 'suspend' hang/crash on 10.10????????????????????????????????? [07:23] iflema, I downgraded to legacy Grub, and then I think I did sudo update-grub, but then I had to edit menu.lst manually because it had an incorrect pathname for root= since I was running from a live CD chrooted to my encrypted filesystem [07:23] k4r1m: Usually the partition is set to bootable not the drive. [07:24] so I had to change root= to the hexadecimal name, although I'm not sure whether I was supposed to change it to the encrypted partition, the boot partition, or what [07:24] potiphera: confirm the initrd entry..... [07:24] iflema, just a second, let me open menu.lst. [07:24] rusty149: thats what I did using fdisk set the partition to bootable tried partition 1 and then 2, 1 being the efi partition and 2 being the ms dos [07:24] it didnt do anything [07:24] potiphera: oh, ok - encryption.... not sure!! [07:25] rusty149: here whats more weird I connected the 2gb disk and did the same thing on it with fdisk now it no longer shows up on boot! [07:25] iflema, initrd line says /initrd.img-2.6.32-27-generic (and similar entries for the different kernels) [07:25] and I tried update-initramfs [07:26] which keeps giving me an error saying "cryptsetup: WARNING: invalid line in /etc/crypttab -". [07:26] rusty149: where do i download ubuntu alternate iso file? [07:26] Hi...I've my desktop with XP which just crashed, and I need to boot to DOS using USB Stick. On my laptop, I've Ubuntu, and I need assistance in creating a DOS Boot-drive on my USB. [07:27] k4r1m: Have you tried erasing the disk and following the Ubuntu instructions? [07:27] potiphera: encryption = me no know...... do you have no other kernel in the list to boot? [07:27] Good morning Every1 :D === Pinako is now known as Pinako|wet [07:27] DBoyz: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso [07:27] rusty149: yeah those instructions dont get me very far [07:28] iflema, I do, so I can try them, although the entries are all similar. Do you know if supergrubdisk will work with an encrypted filesystem? [07:28] k4r1m: The only bit that looks odd id converting to a .img. You should be able to dd .iso images [07:28] Hi everyone! i messed up my ubuntu 10.04 and now i'm stuck with damn windows. can somebody help me repair my machine? so i was changing attributes of panels in gnome and turned on autohide option. swear, i didn't change anything else. at next boot gnome didn't start correctly. the top panel (which was meant to autohide) was on the bottom looking somehow strange, sometimes flashing. [07:28] hi. can someone help me install true combate elite? i got some gz files, i'm noob can't figure out how to install [07:29] bigger problem is i can't do anything. mouse and keyboard aren't responding. i can only switch to the command line by hitting ctrl +alt + f2 [07:29] rusty149: I know i tried both... dd'ing without/with conversion [07:29] potiphera no idea, sorry [07:29] does anybody know what to do in such case? [07:29] iflema, thanks. I'll read the documentation and see. [07:30] Hi...I've my desktop with XP which just crashed, and I need to boot to DOS using USB Stick.

[07:34] k4r1m: Why aren't you using a CD? [07:34] rusty149: I wish... a few macs have a known problem of the cd rom just not working [07:35] software sees it fine... but it doesnt read anything... always tries for a few seconds then just ejects cds [07:35] k4r1m: Are you using the 64-bit Mac Desktop image [07:35] rusty149: yeah [07:35] I think. [07:35] I am dual booting ubuntu and Win7. I deleted my ubuntu partition because I needed more room. After repartitioning, I attempted to reload ubuntu w/ wubi. It installed with no issues, but is failing to write to the BCD correctly. It won't show up as an option when on the boot menu. [07:36] iflema, thanks, I think this is slightly different because it's full disk encryption. But I am able to mount the disk using the live CD. I am going to go read the documentation for supergrubdisk and disk encryption, but thanks again. [07:36] anyone can help me with multitouch / synaptics please? [07:36] When I ran the uninstaller, it gave me an error message, essentially stating that it could not delete the (non-existent) BCD entry [07:36] glaceman: Can you paste bin, sudo cat /etc/fstab [07:36] rusty149: actually no its not the 64 bit version [07:36] Hi all [07:37] #join #gearman [07:37] traceback @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/552083/ [07:37] help [07:38] rusty149: http://paste.ubuntu.com/552085/ [07:38] jdelanoy: have you tried booting to the win7 cd and repair boot that way? worked for me [07:38] glaceman: it is set to read-only [07:39] meanieface: thanks, I'll try that [07:39] rusty149: i didn't set anything, how can i fix this please ?

[07:43] k4r1m: no. Try making it on Ubuntu?

[07:44] k4r1m: actuallt, that wouldn't do the EFI partition [07:45] k4r1m: You could get the live usb on the Windows machine [07:45] Hi! I messed up smth with gnome panel autohide settings and now it's blocking the whole gui. can use only comand line. can anyone help me? [07:45] wykretbastard: What did you do? Run "!history" -- It'll show you last commands [07:45] red2kic: whats Afaik? why wouldn't I want to use the windows boot loader? [07:46] wauf: Is this running as a guest in VMWare? [07:46] red2kic: its so simple in design [07:46] hey guys someone here were talking and suddenly pointed about ctrl + alt+ F2 , i tried it for fun, and it took me to a black screen, i entered my credentials again, but how to returrn to my session ? [07:46] rusty149 yes. [07:46] Stinkypants: As far as I know. Because Windows Boot Loader does not get along nicely with other OS. It think it is superior and will "pretend" that it does not recognize other OS. [07:46] i had to restart [07:46] !tty | glaceman [07:46] glaceman: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login).

[07:46] glaceman: Ctrl+Alt+F7 [07:46] glaceman: ALT + F7 [07:47] thanks [07:47] red2kic: i just turned autohide for top panel. next boot the panel was on the bottom flashing and now i can't to anything in gui. [07:47] glaceman: alt+F7 [07:47] glaceman: It's useful if your Xorg is crashing and you can't use any GUI. :P [07:47] I am finding myself hanging a lot since going to 10.10, I didn't have that issue with 10.04, is there some bug/trick/fix I am not aware of? cause at this rate I may just take myself back to 10.04 till 10.10 is ready to go 10.50 [07:47] wykretbastard: Try this...

[07:47] red2kic: well if i wanted to use it.... what would i select? sda1(winxp)? [07:47] wauf: VMWare connects to guests using a virtual ethernet connection [07:48] wauf: You can then use the settings to manage how the guest connects to your hosts network [07:48] Stinkypants: I don't use Windows so I can not be certain. Generally, you want to point it at sda, I believe. [07:48] user: hanging in 'suspend', like having to give the damm thing a cold boot from a hang very often [07:49] wykretbastard: Install htop and get familiar with it. It can tell you which processes are taking up too much CPU/MEM. [07:49] wauf: So enable a Bridged ethernet connection to assign the guest an IP on the hosts LAN through the wireless [07:49] wykretbastard: I use it occasionally. I find it that firefox leaks memory too much sometimes. :( [07:49] rust149, going to try that now. [07:50] suspend on 10.04 was just that, in 10.10 it's a lets see [07:50] Hello everyone. I've recently faced issues with avahi-daemon. nslookup and dig worked fine while resolving hosts names in my local network, but services like ssh, ping, telnet, etc. didn't. Everything worked fine after disabling avahi-daemon. Does anyone know how can I have it fixed without disabling avahi-daemon? [07:50] I assume there is something wrong in the 'suspend' dept in 10.10 [07:51] anyone know how to get mod_perl to work in hardy? [07:51] thanks red2kic and ubottu. i'll switch to ubuntu now and check if killing panels will do anything. [07:52] halkun: try this, insure pearl is loaed? [07:52] it is, It's in mods-enabled [07:53] now, I have to be careful, when I mess with Apache's configs.

I don't recall how to load wireless module without rebooting... modprobe something? ... and how would I know what the name of the module is? It [07:56] It's a new computer :P [07:56] lifestream: modprobe *name-of-modules-goes-here* [07:56] red2kic, I haven't uninstalled it, just disabled. I had issues with service kerberization and it took me a long time to idenfity the root of the problem, in this case, avahi-daemon service. I'm not sure exacly why avahi-daemon was interfering in name resolution, since nslookup and dig were working properly. But I'll take a look at the URL you just sent me. Thank you. [07:56] lifestream: might get a clue with lspci or lsusb or lshw [07:57] are you guys insulating I have some kind of *budget* :) [07:57] lifestream: lspci will list your card. lsmod will list mods. You could reboot and make note of lsmod. [07:57] red2kic, that simple? thanks :) sacarlson ugh, thanks! i coudln't remember what those were called, so i couldn't google it @_@ [07:58] is it possible to boot from a dvd-rw? [07:58] WhatToDo: Yes [07:58] rusty149: my dvd-rw won't boot, although i have booted successfully from a cd-r [07:59] Did you use the same image file to create the dvd and cd [07:59] rusty 149: my cd/dvd drive also disappears in file manager when i insert my dvd-rw with an .iso on it instead of telling my i've inserted my .iso file [08:00] rusty149: no i didnt the cd has ubuntu and the dvd has vista. [08:00] almoxarife: that page you gave me referrs to config files I don't have [08:00] WhatToDo: And the Ubuntu one works! WOW [08:01] ruty149: haha of course! it isnt the .iso that's the issue though [08:01] WhatToDo: If you burnt the Ubuntu image to the DVD it would work. This is a Windows issue. [08:01] i'm running ubuntu... [08:02] should i burn the ubuntu .iso to a dvd-rw to see if that is the issue? [08:02] hey there im doing a backup to a samba server from a remote maschine using rsync. When running the backup it says "rsync: chown ... failed: Permission denied (13)" - Why it want to change the owner of the target folder? I already set the chmod to 777 but same thing happens [08:02] Hello...Question for the experts...as a newbie is it better for newest vers or go with LTS? [08:03] WhatToDo: You could. Did you use Brasero and select Burn Image? [08:03] rusty149: sure did [08:03] ramifi, If you want to take advantage of all new stuff and improvements on the system, you get the latest version. If you need a reliable system, i.e., you're going to use it for work or a production system, just get the LTS. [08:03] ramifi i would use the newer one for desktop [08:03] plop all [08:03] rusty149: i dont have too many dvd-rws left so i wanted to conserve them but it couldnt hurt to do a test with ubuntu i suppose [08:03] WhatToDo: What write speed does the DVDs support? [08:04] thanks for the feedback!!! [08:04] rusty149: 4x so not too fast as to cause an error while writing i dont think [08:05] WhatToDo: Try setting the write speed to 2x and trying again. === Shaded is now known as Shaded|Sleep [08:05] rusty149: alright ill try that too...i think that about kills my dvds [08:06] WhatToDo: They are rewritable so you can just erase them and burn again. [08:06] rusty149: they wont show up in my drive when i put them in though, the drive disappears entirely [08:07] rusty149: therefore i cant erase what's on them [08:07] WhatToDo: Open Brasero > Tools > Blank... [08:09] now it seems like the problem has escalated...my drive wont recognize the dvd that has info on it that i burned earlier [08:10] or a working dvd of a movie....

[08:14] rustly149 im already running it as sudo but because its a remote maschiene im a user [08:14] rusty149: restarting* my bad, its late haha [08:14] claw: sure, try launching it from the samba server [08:15] then i would have to gain read permissions to the whole system of all remote maschienes - bad idea [08:15] i am gonna go for a reset, see what happens [08:16] WhatToDo: Yes that would be easiest, the DVDs should still show for Blanking. Just don't try to mount them after reboot [08:16] hi, several time i receive ziped files from windows xp, unziped filenames are fracked, wtf [08:17] claw: you mean read permissions on the Samba. You need that anyway; better than chown permissions? [08:18] hello === milligan_ is now known as milligan [08:18] if i am lunching the backup from the samba server i will need permissions for reading the remote maschienes [08:20] claw: no sorry, connect to Samba machine with SSH.

[09:00] WhatToDo: is it just this one paticular disk that is giving you issues or are all disks doing the same thing when you put a disk in the drive [09:01] richie086: all created dvd-rw [09:01] richie086: im trying to boot from them and that doesnt work either [09:01] rusty149: when i try to save it says could not find the file /home/michel/etc/modprobe.d/options.conf [09:01] WhatToDo: so any burned dvd-rws. What tool are you using to burn these dvds? [09:02] glaceman: It shouldn't are you using nano to edit it. [09:02] to write the .iso to the dvd-rw [09:02] rusty149: no i dont know how to use nano [09:02] i opened the file with root [09:03] rusty149: how to save [09:03] in nano - the ^ means hold the control key. [09:03] ^o = hit control and o [09:03] richie086: i right click on the .iso and select write to disk [09:03] glaceman: you should really use nano it takes 20 seconds to learn. At the bottom are commands so, ^C = Ctrl+C [09:03] WhatToDo: are you are using ubuntu to do this? [09:03] rickie086: yes [09:03] rusty149: i typed it, but how to save and exit [09:04] glaceman: Ctrl+O = Save [09:04] glaceman: Ctrl+X = Exit [09:05] glaceman: you have to hit enter after Ctrl+O btw [09:05] lol [09:05] ok [09:05] done [09:05] WhatToDo: I am not exactly sure what ubunut is using to burn the image, but I would reccomend installing k3b to burn .iso images on linux. Is the .iso you are trying to burn a ubuntu install disk? [09:05] rusty149: i will restart and be back [09:06] richie086 one is windows and one is ubuntu [09:06] WhatToDo: sudo apt-get install k3b [09:06] o___O: if command line and aren't too particular maybe pipe it through something like: perl -pe 's/[^A-Z0-9\.\(\)]//gi' [09:07] WhatToDo: do you have access to a windows machine that you could put the burned dvd-rw into to see if it reads it at all? it sounds like it is not burning the image properly to me [09:07] i give it a try, thanks CornFedHobo [09:07] Richie086: would it make much of a difference? At this point I'm down to one dvd-rw and I can't seem to access them to blank them. And i'll check that with windows right now [09:08] Anyone know how to tell getaddrinfo() to check for SRV records and not just A records? [09:08] Richie086: my windows computer recognized the windows boot disk [09:08] rusty149: im back, still no sound unfortunetly [09:08] WhatToDo: kb3 is a really good program, it is quite likely that it would see the discs [09:08] WhatToDo: like I said, I am not exactly sure what ubuntu is using to burn dvds by default. [09:09] rusty149: yeah i agree.. never had any issues with k3b [09:09] Richie086: I'll go get it [09:09] glaceman: just check that you did it correctly, pastebin sudo cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [09:09] WhatToDo: so windows sees whatever is burned on the dvd-rw? or were you actually able to boot from the media when you put it in the windows machine? [09:10] thanks alot CornFedHobo, works great [09:10] there is a possibility that it is not marking the disk as bootable [09:10] rusty149: http://paste.ubuntu.com/552111/ [09:10] hello. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and in my laptop, there are a set of controls on my keyboard for music player. But they work for "Music Player" aka rhythmbox. How can I make them work for amarok? [09:10] Richie086: it recognizes the burned .iso. I didn't actually try booting with it [09:11] does anyone know why "/etc/init.d/postgresql start" doesn't start postgresql after installation and no error messages [09:11] ah, i would check to see if it boots from the media. [09:13] right now, im burning the ubuntu iso to a disk and it's been finalizing for about 10 minutes [09:13] WhatToDo: check your media, what type of disk is it? [09:16] dvd-rw [09:16] glaceman: Have you tried, sudo alsamixer , and turning everything up particularly speakers [09:17] rusty149: yes [09:17] sound issues on linux can really suck [09:17] WhatToDo: I have seen that before eject the disc, it usually still work. [09:18] WhatToDo: Does that mean you were able to erase the disk? [09:18] i started k3b and i have a disk in which i previously burned something to, previously as in 2 seconds ago, and it says no medium present [09:18] therefore, i cannot blank the disk [09:18] ahh [09:18] rusty149: can i download the driver somewhere, so i can reinstall it ? [09:18] 2 seconds ago? [09:18] richie086: yeah, i burned an .iso of ubuntu [09:19] glaceman: Try sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound base [09:19] it found it as a blank disk.... [09:20] greetings [09:20] glaceman: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base, , sorry [09:20] rusty149: i get an error http://paste.ubuntu.com/552113/ [09:21] glaceman: sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base [09:21] glaceman: OK > Alsa [09:22] rusty149: done [09:22] i have a dvb-t usb stick with USB-ID 1b80:d393 that is wrongly detected as Afatech but in fact is Realtek. How or where can i change that so the correct driver gets loaded? [09:22] sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio libcanberra-pulse [09:22] All of the sudden two alien ELF Files chose to install themselves. when you say give them root access, it can grab you by the collar and launch you into the recycle bin. this is a Ubuntu TRANSFORMATION. I have become totally aware of it. What do I do? People are trying to stop my contribution! A very very powerful force has yanked my kernel out. My experiences have made me believe that there... [09:23] ...is some military operations in the ubuntu scheme. there is some ubuntu-lizard presence but what is its relationship with the community? [09:23] hi all. [09:23] the viruses looked like men [09:23] i need to remove them quick [09:23] !ot [09:23] #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! [09:24] they are very powerful. not all powerful or else i wouldn't be able to ask you for help [09:24] k3b says no medium present for the disk with the windows .iso on it [09:24] my computer isn't very fast; would it be sacrilegious to use fluxbox as the windows manager instead of metacity? [09:24] i understand the programming concept [09:24] !kick TriangualrGodPan [09:24] what i am saying, is difference expressions of teh same thing [09:24] still the same ubuntu problem. [09:24] pleaes help [09:24] glaceman: sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base alsa-utils pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio libcanberra-pulse [09:24] And here i thought it was just random babbling. [09:25] on the human level Dr_Willis, people are still awakening to this issue [09:25] i just want peace with ubuntu [09:25] How do I change the icon of an application? I installed a new icon theme and there was no new icon for Scribes. I want to use the Gedit icon for Scribes [09:25] I think you want to be going to another channel soon.. oh.. never mind.. [09:25] thank you [09:25] rusty149: ok done [09:25] #ubuntuconspiracy for him [09:25] how do you direct a help to someone (ex. !ot) directed to a specific user [09:25] Dr_Willis: banned from -ot anyway [09:26] jfe: have you tried enabling/tweaking compiz? The hardware acceleration for windw management does wonders for an "old machine" [09:26] Hes too OT for OT. :) [09:26] glaceman: reboot. [09:26] ok brb [09:28] So K3B thinks my DVD-RW is empty, although I know it has a Windows .iso on it, which I just confirmed on my other, Windows-based computer. What this leads to is my DVD-RWs not being bootable. What can I do to fix this? === Alcapun is now known as dreamtraveler [09:28] yuler: no, but i will try that. thank you. [09:30] rusty149: back still no sound === roaming is now known as INFURNO [09:30] WhatToDo: Eject drive (physically) then run, sudo umount /dev/sr0 [09:31] How do I change my default monitor using the ATI Catalyst Center? === nicofs_ is now known as nicofs [09:31] WhatToDo: Then run, dmesg and paste bin output [09:31] rusty149: it said not mounted [09:31] WhatToDo: Good [09:32] rusty149: paste what? [09:32] WhatToDo: Run, dmesg [09:33] paste all of that? [09:33] WhatToDo: yes, but not here :) paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [09:33] rusty149: im on realtek website, trying to download the driver again maybe it could help, what do u think ? [09:33] WhatToDo: No just the last bit, like 1 page. But get the last lines [09:34] glaceman: The drivers have to load into the Kernel through ALSA. They should be the latest ones. But stranger things happen. Let me know if you need help. [09:34] Ubuntu net book10.10, Firefox-- I'd like to watch you tube vids but not happening i can watch the vids after getting them using download helper but totum crashes mplayer works, thought i got all the plugins do you think i have missed a flash-plugin or is this a net book issue? [09:35] rusty149:http://paste.ubuntu.com/552118/ [09:35] medium format corrupted sounds promising [09:36] WhatToDo: Can you write to your Ubuntu drive or is it read-only. Please test [09:37] rusty149: thanks buddy [09:37] hello [09:37] rusty149: meaning can i burn to a disk? [09:37] aki se folla o no se folla? [09:37] WhatToDo, know can you write files on your hard drive? [09:37] command to find all files in given directory with less than a given number (e.g. 14) of hardlinks?

[09:39] rusty149: i just saved an openoffice document if thats what you were talking about [09:39] WhatToDo: It says sda1: re-mounted so if that is the case, it has mounted your hard drive as read-only. I just wanted to check first. [09:40] keitaro: /join #ubuntu-es [09:40] thanks [09:40] are there any other application like network manager that supports mobile broadband?? [09:42] WhatToDo: Close the drive again with the disk inside. After the disc has spunup ~20 seconds. paste dmesg again. [09:42] rusty149: will do [09:44] hey room... i need to install some programs through wine but its only using my home directory... how can i configue it to utilize the other space on my harddrive [09:44] seems like the same thing to me [09:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/552122/ [09:46] in a nutshell, im trying to install portal and steam... steam installs and starts correctly but once i go to install portal... it says i dont have enough freespace because its trying to install it within the wine directory that is quite small... how can i configure wine to use a more practical area that has more space or how can i expand the area that its trying to use??? [09:47] rusty149: did you get that link? [09:48] ubuntu [09:48] its the disk problem i guess/// === keitaro is now known as tetsuya [09:48] FloodBot4 MODE on!

[09:51] oh, you're the same person. joy. [09:51] please [09:51] what chanell sex? [09:52] I was wondering if anybody has attempted 2 computers with 1 boot drive? [09:52] rusty149: zero on all accounts [09:52] sirkuttin: that dosent make sence... [09:52] dr_willis: anywhere else... im trying to point it to anywhere else so when i go to download portal, it doesnt tell me im low on disk space... [09:52] twiztid: how much space to you have total? you got /home/ on its own partition? [09:52] swapping the boot drive betweens computers [09:52] hi i recently messed up my boot sequence somehow.. now just before login i get a black screen with a blue window asking normal boot (does nothing), command with networking, command without nw, update grub.. ect.. none of these options do much [09:53] sirkuttin: ive moved the hard drive from one old laptop.. to a brand new one.. and linux worked just fine. Even tho the 2 laptops had radically differnt hardware specs. [09:53] dr_willis: the hd is a total of 40gigs... and yes my /home is on its own partition... [09:53] rusty149: nothing to upgrade or anything [09:53] if i chose command prompt i can type startx and get it to boot the root [09:53] twiztid: your /home/ may be too small then. .wine can be as large as your /home/ allows.. unless you some how link it elsewhere. [09:54] I know how to use sed to search/replace *.html with a regex. But how do I make a regex to replace something like "start
  • bla
  • bla
" with ""? I mean, everything from start until (the first occurrence of) [09:54] Dr Willis: I tried between my desktop and laptop. would not load gui. I am thinking due to the proprietary video card driver. wild guess [09:54] dr_willis: im almost tempted to reinstall ubuntu and not give /home its own partition... fix maybe? or how would i point it to another area? [09:55] dr_willis: i suppose i would like to make a custom directory for wine... [09:55] i added the lubuntu, xubuntu, desktops recently and they worked, but it changed my normal ubuntu login screen to the lubuntu login screen.. dont know if its part of the problem [09:55] alright its late for me [09:55] im gonna go to bed [09:56] WhatToDo: good night :P [09:56] ill get some DVD-R tomorrow and see if that fixes my problem [09:56] twiztid: where ELSE do you have space at to even point it to.. thas the question [09:56] if not, im sure ill be bcak haha [09:56] any suggestions on how to fix this boot problem.. [09:56] i installed ubuntu 10.10 and it doesn't boot.. it did boot two times but usually it hangs after detecting/initializing the ide/sata drives.. [09:56] rusty149: when i used older version of ubuntu 8. i used to have under the sound propreties, alsa soundmixer, now i don;t see this option anymore === david is now known as Guest93796 [09:57] dr_willis: well its a fresh install so i dont really care where else it goes... if i had known wine explictly used the /home folder i would have made it bigger... i tried to figure out how to point it elsewhere but to no avail... :( [09:57] i cant boot up except in root.. and i think if there is a way to reset my login screen to the original state i would be fixed.. is that possible [09:58] twiztid: user settings and files go in their own home dir.. where else would you expect it to go? [09:58] twiztid: how much space do you have on / ? [09:59] twiztid: 'point' it else wehre.... 'ln -s somelocation toanotherlocation' if you can find somewhere else to point it to... [09:59] dr_willis: 30gigs are free... 2gigs are for /home and the rest are the dell recovery partitions [09:59] not the first time i'm around asking this, but: anyone else than me that is having trouble decoding mp3s in 64bit ubuntu? :) [10:00] twiztid: just move /home/ back to /, and not on its own partition then. [10:00] Can anyone help me get Google Picasa to work on Ubuntu 10.04? [10:00] 2gb for home - is not worth even doing... :) [10:00] can anyone help me with a boot issue [10:00] !movehome [10:00] !homemove [10:00] dr_willis: i can do that without reinstalling?!!?! [10:00] Hmm. what was that factoid.. [10:00] twiztid: yes... [10:00] Dr_Willis: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:01] dr_willis: wow ok... u mind cluing me in on that? is it gparted? [10:01] !separatehome [10:01] Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [10:01] thx [10:01] twiztid: make a /tobehome, copy EVERYTHING from /home/ to /tobehome/ , unmount /home/ rename tobehome to be 'home' - edit /etc/fstab and remove entry for /home/ [10:01] glaceman: try, sudo alsactl /dev/snd [10:01] twiztid: notjhing to do with parted.. its not partion manageing.. [10:02] 2gb is barely enough space for my wallpaper collection.. [10:02] oh, moving home directory and not repartitioning? dunno if that factoid will help, then, and we don't have one for that use case specifically. [10:02] hi, during install of 10.10 i always have to press (any) keys to keep the install goin... any1 also know that problem? [10:02] dr_willis: ah... i8 then ill give it a go and reinstall steam and protal and see what happens! :) and ya... i just figured it was a settings type of folder... [10:03] twiztid: you can have seperate/differnt .wine dirs for differnt games, if you wanted to.. [10:03] twiztid: i got a .wine and a .wine-lotro and a few other .wine-*** dirs [10:03] Dr_Willis: Use dirrent prefixes [10:03] each would be considered its 'own' windows setup [10:03] dr_willis: well i guess steam tries to download the installation files first which are 5+ gigs... [10:03] .wine-malware-testing :) [10:04] rusty149: i dipped into the prefix thing a little but couldnt figure it out... [10:04] Should i point out how nice and cheap hard drives are these days? :) [10:05] dr_willis: i have a lil 400gig in which im planning to mount with samba but dont thing its to smart to run games from the network... :P [10:05] Hi, does anyone know if I can install ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 on a fit-pc 1.0? [10:05] twiztid: If it is too awkward then use PlayOnLinux to manage them. By default it uses a new Prefix for each game [10:06] rusty149: thats the thing... i was using that but when i got to install protal, it askes for my steam username... once entered, it tells me its incorrect... [10:06] mmo|: Have you tried the USB port [10:07] rusty149: so i started steam up myself... logged in fine and when i go to download portal... im out of room [10:07] cause of my small /home [10:07] twiztid: Do you have another hard drive? [10:07] rusty149: no, I haven't tried anything yet, as I would like to know if it is possible at all to install on it...without having to do TOO much hacking... [10:08] twiztid: network drives can be mounted/used as if they were local.. they will be slower howevber. [10:09] twiztid: 2gb for home . isent enough to even play Pong... :) [10:09] rusty149: unknown command [10:09] rusty149: ya but its on my desktop... thats why i thought about mounting through the network ( dr_willis: ) but ya itll be slow [10:09] hi [10:09] dr_willis: i was unaware that e v e r y t h i n g wants to go /home :P [10:10] ciao [10:10] twiztid: time to learn the 'fundamentals' [10:10] greetings... my volume control appears ot have disappeared from my panel? [10:10] twiztid: everything does not.. system installed apps and data goes to / [10:10] how i can download from you tube [10:10] sandhu: theres numerous firefox extensions that make that easy [10:10] dr_willis: aye aye aye... i know enough to get around... im just starting gaming on linux... >:) === me_ is now known as thousands [10:11] but how pl tell me [10:11] I see the wireless icon ; date and time and username with logout options... but where is the volume control? [10:11] sandhu: downloadhelper is one such extension [10:11] tumbs up for download helper [10:11] ;) [10:11] i have to download downloadhelper [10:12] sandhu: download helper grab audio and video from websites [10:12] u can find it on google [10:12] mmo|: They use an x86 processor so is supported by Ubuntu. Didn't it come with it on ther? [10:12] firefox download helper [10:12] * pehden is away: I'm busy [10:12] and get the extension [10:12] whats a fun little learning project to do with ubuntu? [10:13] heyguise: learn regular expressions :) [10:13] i have to download from fire fox [10:13] rusty149: yeah, it currently has Ubuntu 7.10...I am thinking it's time to do an upgrade. But I am afraid that it'll simply not work... [10:13] dr_willis: well fuck me running... i guess the real question is why playonlinux tells me my steam username is incorrect... (now that i know NOT to give /home its own "home") [10:13] Dr_Willis, in terminal? [10:13] Oh wait.. thats more of a lifetime project... [10:13] sandhu: hold on a sec [10:13] heyguise: regular expressions are used by many languages/tools.. worth learning [10:13] mmo|: What you might stuggle on is system requirements [10:13] tnx [10:13] sandhu: firefox has menu items to 'go to the firefox extension web site;' yes... [10:14] heyguise: run that vimtutor program and learn vi basics - is also a good use of an hr.. [10:14] rusty149: hm, yeah... [10:14] mmo|: But you could try it or use xubuntu or lubuntu [10:14] sandhu: http://www.downloadhelper.net/install.php [10:14] rusty149: yes, you're right - I had though of those, they are probably a better choice... [10:14] sandhu: sorry try this link instead it's direct [10:14] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006/ [10:15] hi, what it the cleanest way of getting rig of all the old kernel entries in grub? deleting them from /boot ? [10:15] mmo|: Does it run OK atm? [10:15] Benkinooby: use the package manager and remove the old kernels.. [10:15] Benkinooby: your suggestionis like the worse way :) [10:15] rusty149: yes, it runs pretty well, I am a bit concerned about potential security holes, though, as it has not been supported for a looong time [10:16] @Benkinooby or use ubuntu tweak, it has a special tab called "remove kernells" it deletes all of them exept the current running one [10:16] Benkinooby: ubuntu-tweak has a little gui tool to do some cleanup also. I suggest leaving at least 2 kernels. [10:16] Dr_Willis, installing it now. I really need to just get some comp sci techs and work on basics. My foundation is weak as shit. [10:17] I see the wireless icon ; date and time and username with logout options... but where is the volume control? [10:17] can someone help me with thhis. I need to access volume control [10:17] Dr_Willis, i don't understand why, for example, ubuntu opts to generate the grub.cfg instead of working on it directly... sometimes it makes things more complicated than they are.... anyways thank you for your hint about NOT removing these files from hand [10:17] @livingdaylight go to add to panel and add another applet which shows an e-mailicon and a sound icon [10:17] livingdaylight, if you are under gnome, right click on the panel (top bar) and select add to panel, and add volume control [10:18] thanks guys... odd that it should disappear though? [10:18] what is name of app? [10:18] Benkinooby: idiot proofing and flexiablity.. [10:19] Benkinooby: the way the old grub config/menu was a combonation of both the grub config AND settings files for update-grub was much more confuiseing and problematic [10:19] @livingdaylight probably the applet creashed [10:19] omega-xis, strange and now I don't see anything in add applet that looks like volume? [10:20] *add to panel [10:20] i want thunderbird to start google-chrome instead of firefox when i click on a link, how can i do that? i already changed the values of network.protocol-handler.app.(ftp/http/https) to google-chrome but it still starts firefox [10:20] gnome-volume-control? [10:20] mmo|: Ubuntu 10.04 requires 2x CPU speed and 2x Memory. [10:20] Dr_Willis, so i have to remove the old kernel headeer packages? [10:21] Benkinooby: never noticed. if you are remioving the old kernels.. that would make sence [10:21] rusty149: ok, but I guess I can try the lightweight ones then - or maybe the netbook remix? [10:22] Dr_Willis, can't follow you... are you speaking about removing the headers? [10:22] dr_willis: i guess because i dont know "fundamentals" that i have to ask how to "unmount /home" [10:22] kbdvdr, I don't see volume applet in Add to Panel [10:22] mmo|: Xubuntu should work OK, it meets the system requirements [10:23] holy smokes thats awesome [10:23] rusty149: ok, I think I will try that, then, thank you for the help [10:24] mmo|: Netbook Edition requires a lot of power; more than the desktop. [10:24] unity is quite slow in 10.10 [10:24] twiztid: thers no n in the 'umount' command. :) [10:24] it's much faster in next release [10:25] twiztid: and if its in use.. you dont want to unmount it.. [10:25] twiztid: doing this work. May be easier from a live cd. [10:25] hirn [10:25] livingdaylight, add the "indicator applet" [10:25] it will add a few things, including volume control [10:25] so where can I edit the xorg.conf file (or whatever it's called now). On Ubuntu lucid. [10:25] kuru: by default there is no xorg.conf you can make one if you need. [10:25] it's defaulting to VESA and I want to manually change that [10:26] ok.. so is there a way I can change the driver to something else without having to create an xorg.conf file? [10:26] psybnc is the best app the world has ever experienced [10:27] dr_willis: gotcha... so to be straight... reboot to live, umount /home, copy contents to /tobehome, delete /home, rename /tobehome to /home, edit /etc/fstab and delete /home and reboot? [10:27] kuru: what video card? [10:27] intel 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [10:27] twiztid: from the live cd.. /home/ would be the cd's /home/ your hard drives 'home' dir is going to be empty since its just a mount point for the home partition. [10:27] twiztid: That is wrong [10:28] twiztid: very wrong [10:28] %*$# [10:28] kuru: you'll want the i915 driver [10:28] twiztid: from live cd.. mount your installed system. and your home partition, copy files from home patition to the installed systems home dir.. then edit the installed systems etc/fstab file and comment out the home entry [10:28] twiztid: You deleted the /home again at the end [10:28] Ghea, right.. which I have to compile from scratch? [10:28] twiztid: pay attention to the PATHs of things [10:28] kuru: why would you need to do that? [10:29] i m unable to download video downloadhelper [10:29] Gnea, I can't seem to find it [10:29] kuru: how are you trying to look for it? [10:29] twiztid: ie: boot live cd.. Mount your old installed system (it will be like /media/SOMTHING) your old home will also be /media/SOMTHIGNELSE [10:29] gnea, ok, actually, I see it [10:29] gnea, but how do I tell xorg to use it? === johan350 is now known as johanness_ [10:29] kuru: where do you see it? [10:29] gnea, here: /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so [10:29] i m unable to download video downloadhelper [10:30] i m unable to download video downloadhelper [10:30] Dr_Willis, so can i safly remove the old kernel headers too? [10:30] kuru: have you determined which package that file belongs to? [10:30] im probly better off taking a sledge to this piece... lol ok ill give it a go and should i screw up i suppose ill just reinstall from scratch (again) and deal with playonlinux telling me IM wrong [10:30] sandhu: big green 'install' button here dosent work? -? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006/ [10:31] twiztid: or spend some time and learn some shell/path fundamentals.. [10:31] Gnea, no.. but judging from your line of questions, I'm doing something wrong :) [10:32] twiztid: or from the live cd. You could just edit the installed systems /etc/fstab and comment out the home entry. then boot back to the installed sytem [10:32] there is no such button [10:32] kuru: heh.... open a terminal and type the following: dpkg -S /usr/lib/dri/i915_dri.so [10:32] twiztid: THEN mount the home partition, and copy it to the /home/ [10:32] sandhu: there is one here.. im on ubuntu 10.10 - using firefox... so you need to clarify what you are usign exactly [10:33] gnea, [10:33] gnea, libgl1-mesa-dri [10:33] useing firefox 3.6.13 here. [10:33] kuru: okay, now: apt-cache show libgl1-mesa-dri [10:33] i m on this site /www.downloadhelper.net/install.php [10:33] sandhu: that site says 'go to the firefox extension page ---> and gives a button.. thats the url i pasted above' [10:34] Gnea, ok.. that's just the description of the package.. still doesn't tell me how I can configure Xorg to use the driver [10:34] sandhu: big green 'install' button here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006/ [10:34] Dr_Willis, sandhu let me hel you sandhu, i allready installed it [10:34] Can anyone help with getting Picasa to run on Ubuntu 10.04? [10:34] kuru: right, so, you need to make sure you have the right driver, so the best thing to do is to look for it: apt-cache search 915 [10:35] sandhu, its best, if you click Tools->Add-ons in firefox [10:35] Hello. I've got a trouble while installing lekhonee-gnome in maverick. It requires python-gtkhtml2 but it is a virtual package so it can't be installed. How can I solve this problem? [10:35] Gnea, this comes up with xserver-org-video-intel (which I have installed) [10:35] kuru: really, you can replace 915 with anything else and you find yourself pleasantly surprised, but yeah, let's fix this problem first [10:35] sandhu, a new window will pop up, on that window you want to choose "Get Add-on" on the top left [10:35] Gnea, I know how to use apt-get and apt-cache, etc. :) [10:35] Gnea, I used to maintain a Debian package [10:36] pl give url once again [10:36] dr_willis: hrm, so after reboot i copy contents of /home to /tobehome, delete /home, rename /tobehome to /home and then input 'mount /home'? [10:36] kuru: nice time to mention it. are you on 10.04 or 10.10? [10:36] pl give url once again [10:36] sandhu, and then you search for downloadhelper [10:36] !repeat | sandhu [10:36] sandhu: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [10:37] sandhu: big green 'install' button here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006/ [10:37] sandhu, in case the downloadhelper is not on the list, click "see all results" and you will get to the website with the correct version of downloadhelper [10:37] twiztid: if you edit the fstab. then there will be nothing in /home/ [10:38] twiztid: you just copy your other homd partition files to it.. [10:38] Gnea, 10.04 (it's years ago.. so you can continue to assume I'm an idiot) :) [10:38] twiztid: if home is NOT on its own partition. you DONT need to mount it. [10:39] hello@all do anyone know a good fast and energy saving thinclient [10:39] kuru: have you looked at system->admin->hardware drivers? [10:39] hello hackers, i m using thinkpad r 61, since today morning i unable to login in my ubuntu 10.04, after log in screen after entering password it shows black screen and again back to log in promt [10:39] plz help [10:39] Gnea, yeah, comes back with nothing [10:40] dr_willis: ok gotcha thx for all your help, im gunna give it a go! take care [10:40] fosser_josh: as a test. go to console, login, try 'sudo service gdm stop' then 'startx' see if the user can login then [10:40] fosser_josh: press ctrl-alt-f1, login and checkout /var/log, there might be information you are looking for [10:41] Dr_Willis: i log in throught console and then done startx but it shows me only black screen and curser and nthing else [10:42] fosser_josh: now thats interesting... [10:42] kuru: okay, and now: lsmod | grep i915 [10:42] fosser_josh: if you go back to the console, there may be some error messages [10:42] Dr_Willis: no error mess on any console [10:42] fosser_josh: if you hit ctrl-c on the console it should kill X.. [10:43] fosser_josh: you could make a new user and see if it works for the new user. [10:43] Gnea, http://pastebin.com/ZeinuBFY [10:43] sudo adduser billgates, login as billgates, try startx again. [10:43] Dr_Willis: i think i hav to try this one [10:43] fosser_josh: if the NEW user works. that would point to a odd user setting problem [10:43] i would checkout logs [10:44] there's 99% sure something [10:44] kuru: and can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please? [10:44] well.. it's been almost 8 years now.. and configuring Xorg to use the right drivers is still complicated :( [10:44] fosser_josh: ~/.xsession-errors is empthy? [10:44] yeah, ubuntu has changed a lot of that [10:44] ive not needed to touch xorg.conf in years... [10:44] hi everyone. I have got oubuntu 10.04LTS. My update manager can`t update the following package: http://ppa.launchpad.net/plaxx/random-fixes/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz even if I try with the aptline [10:44] gobbe: where can i check logs [10:44] xorg.conf can still be used, but not so much these days [10:45] fosser_josh: from console [10:45] bluesky: what is the error you get? [10:45] gobbe: m in console [10:45] but no logs on any console [10:45] fosser_josh: read the file i asked [10:46] gobbe: it simply doesnt add the repository [10:46] kuru: if it helps, try installing pastebinit [10:46] to do "sudo su" you need to be in the sudoers file or something like that... but what about "sudo shell"? [10:46] bluesky: well, what is the error-message you get? [10:46] fisch246: silliness, use sudo -i [10:46] bluesky: and what is the command you are trying to run [10:47] gobbe: nothing, it just dont work. I cant add the source, the field stays grey. [10:47] gobbe: its saying following mess "34: cant open /home/prathamesh/.profile" [10:47] hi all. Does anyone got any experience installing VMWare? I need help :( [10:47] bluesky: what you are trying to do? what command you are trying to run? [10:47] Gnea: and what does that command do? [10:47] !vmware | db_loco [10:47] bluesky: if you try to add the line you pasted, it's not going to work [10:47] db_loco: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [10:48] Gna, http://pastebin.com/NkXTC45W [10:48] fisch246: man sudo <-- it will tell you [10:48] gobbe: right [10:48] Gnea, but yah, that took awhile to copy/paste [10:48] ubottu: Thanks [10:48] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [10:48] bluesky: so what you are trying to do? add new ppa? [10:48] gobbe: yes [10:48] Gnea: yup! [10:49] bluesky: how did you try to add it? [10:49] gobbe: its saying following mess "34: cant open /home/prathamesh/.profile [10:49] bluesky: theres command line tools to add them. [10:49] Gnea: ah i suppose i could've just done that in the first place XD but it's just curiosity of mine haha [10:49] fosser_josh: what does ls -ltrha /home/prathamesh/.profile say? [10:49] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plaxx/random-fixes [10:49] fisch246: know much about the 915 driver?

(i barely rember you from like an hr+ ago) [10:51] gobbe: update manager ,check [10:52] kuru: according to your logfile, it loaded the vesa driver after it loaded the intel driver. most of the messages seem to indicate it went with the intel driver.. [10:52] bluesky: ok, it means that your ppa is not working. Why you need to add this ppa? [10:52] just now i have download downloadhelper but it is very slow [10:52] Gnea, hrmm.. odd. Why is it sluggish then? GLX or some funky stuff needed? [10:52] just now i have download downloadhelper but it is downloading very slow [10:52] kuru: what exactly is being sluggish? [10:53] gobbe: to be honest, I dont know, but my systems suggested it so i thought I better do it. [10:53] bluesky: hmmh. interesting [10:53] just now i have download downloadhelper but it is downloading very slow [10:53] hi, i placed the mini.iso in /boot/iso/ and the added to /etc/grub.d/40_custom the following text http://paste.ubuntu.com/552135/ still i can not boot from that iso. any reasony why? [10:53] gobbe: o/p of command as follow "-rw-r--r-- 1 prathamesh prathamesh 675 2010-08-01 02:34 /home/prathamesh/.profile" [10:53] gnea, redraw rates are too slow when I move windows around, etc. [10:54] gnea, I've been using Macs for the past 7 years+ .. so maybe I've just been spoiled.. [10:54] sandhu: repeating is not giveing details.. and its slow downloading flash videos you mean? So? [10:54] kuru: did you turn desktop effects on? [10:54] fosser_josh: ok, and you are trying to login as user prathamesh ? [10:54] gnea, they're switched off [10:54] yah [10:54] this is only user on my laptop [10:54] kuru: hrm [10:55] fosser_josh: try to run sudo chown prathamesh -R /home/prathamesh [10:55] fosser_josh: and then login again [10:55] yes [10:56] yes i m to download youtube videos bot itis tsking too much time [10:57] yes i m able to download youtube videos bot itis tsking too much time [10:57] sandhu: and you some how expect Ubuntu to make Youtube send you the data faster? [10:57] gobbe: nope man same problem [10:58] fosser_josh: have you tried to create another user, login and see is the same error? [10:58] how can i display infos about my graphics card??? [10:58] gobbe: k will do that [10:58] sandhu: be sure to pause the video you are watching while downloadhelper is downloading it also. [10:59] is it possible or not [11:01] Dr_Willis: gobbe: its showning some error on console for old user prathamesh, it saying "home directory /etc/timidity not ours" [11:01] sandhu: this full legenth movie - taking about 20 min here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfGWPpPy0uw [11:01] how do i install ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64 using pendrivelinux? there's no alternate options [11:02] fosser_josh: sounds like permissions may be messed up. try making a totally new user yet and see if it affets them? [11:02] DBoyz: a lot of those tools just look for a specific filename.iso theres also alternative pendrive setup tools out there that may work better. [11:02] ok dr willis thanks to help me out [11:03] sandhu: getting 112kb/sec from Youtube it says [11:03] okay [11:04] Dr_Willis: i used to use i386 but i accidentally downloaded amd64, any difference? [11:04] hi, when i run screen i get a 'welcome page', is there anyway i can skip this page and get straight into screen? [11:08] how do I downgrade my binutils? [11:09] DBoyz: Dunno if your computer/laptop can handle amd64. I hope so. :o [11:09] !aptpin | q_a_z_steve [11:09] !pin | q_a_z_steve [11:09] red2kic: how so? [11:09] why not? [11:09] Meh. ubottu/ [11:09] DBoyz: other then that ir proberly wont work.... :) [11:09] DBoyz: you want 32bit or 64bit on your system? [11:10] Psycho_Mario: start with man screen perhaps. [11:10] !netsplit [11:10] gobbe: Dr_Willis: i tried new user by saying "useradd new" and then set passwd by saying "passwd new" and then restart and re login with new user but it also shows me purple color screen no dektop only mouse pointer [11:10] what the hell was that? [11:10] The rapture. :\ [11:10] Dr_Willis: 32bit [11:10] fosser_josh: that points to some system wide issue. sounds like gnome may be not starting properly. [11:11] hi... how do I configure my Ubuntu 10.10 gnome desktop to start with bluetooth disabled by default? [11:11] q_a_z_steve: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [11:11] DBoyz: It is up to your preferences. People use amd64 to take full advantage of their machines. [11:11] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [11:11] Dr_Willis: gobbe : but this time it not showing log in screen again like it happens with my old user prathamesh [11:11] okay [11:11] !pin | q_a_z_steve [11:12] q_a_z_steve: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [11:12] Dr_Willis: gobbe: i can able to log from gui but no dektop and no log in screen again [11:12] Dr_Willis: i cant find anything in the man... [11:12] fosser_josh: as a nother test for that new user. make a .xsession and put the line in it ' exec xterm ' then see if startx works with just a terminal showing. if that works try 'gnome-session' in the terminal [11:13] fosser_josh: hmmh. have you done any updates, installed anything, or something before this happened at first time? [11:13] anyone? [11:14] Shoggoth: Say it again. Lot of people joined in and does not know what you're talking about. No thanks to netsplit. [11:14] gobbe: this is 1st time i update my machine regularly but before last log out i uninstall evolution and clamv antivirus and all files of both apps [11:14] red2kic: maybe I should ask this, I'm looking for binutils or binutils-dev <=2.20.1 how do I manage that? # apt-get install binutils-dev=2.20.1 \ Reading package lists... Done \ Building dependency tree \ Reading state information... Done \ E: Version '2.20.1' for 'binutils-dev' was not found [11:15] can anyone tell me how to install extra compiz effects please? [11:15] yeah... I noticed that [11:15] hi... how do I configure my Ubuntu 10.10 gnome desktop to start with bluetooth disabled by default? [11:15] Shoggoth: you mean the bluetooth service? [11:15] Dr_Willis: i m not getting what exactly to do can u send me details properly on personal chat or even here [11:15] !anyone | YouArePwned [11:15] well... I'm not sure how the stack is implemented wrt gnome [11:15] YouArePwned: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [11:15] q_a_z_steve: Yes. You want !pin [11:15] ok [11:16] i messed up my settings somehow and now im getting a "Recovery Menu" [11:16] how to install extra compiz effects? :P [11:16] there's a panel indicator applet for bluetooth [11:16] Shoggoth: /etc/init.d/bluetooth [11:16] essentially I just want to start as normal but with it disabled there [11:16] !error | YouArePwned [11:16] Shoggoth: Check System --> Preferences --> Startup Apps [11:16] YouArePwned: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [11:16] fosser_josh: make afile called .xsession, with one line 'exec xterm', try the startx command again. and see if the desktop starts with a single terminal window showing. [11:16] Shoggoth: yes that you can disable in startup applications [11:16] YouArePwned: thers some in the package manager listings - not installed by default [11:17] i wrote down the options i get in this menu but the last one is " root drop to root shell prompt" and if i chose this one i can get to root... [11:17] share: no I don't want to disable bluetooth from running I want the service running but the transmitter turned off by default [11:17] !compiz | YouArePwned [11:17] YouArePwned: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [11:17] YouArePwned: "aptitude search compiz" will list everything related to compiz.

Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [11:19] root_: if you delete all the hidden folders in $HOME you will get default gnome settings next time you login... [11:19] root_: you mean reset the system configs? or the users personal settings? [11:19] Psycho_Mario: you can start it simply with a command like 'screen bash' [11:19] or grub root_ ? [11:20] ActionParsnip: that's not good idea [11:20] ActionParsnip: you should not delete all .-folders without knowing what you do [11:20] I'm with gobbe [11:20] ActionParsnip: you will then delete your gnugpg-keys etc [11:20] Psycho_Mario: or put 'startup_message off' in some screenrc file (from the manpage :) [11:22] root_: also running irc clients as root is a really BAD idea [11:22] does anyone know if Voodler works on wine? [11:22] glutton: that works perfect. is there anyway i can add this to ~/.screenrc so i only need to type 'screen'? [11:22] !appdb | frold [11:22] frold: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [11:22] !appdb | frold [11:22] gobbe: what isn't? [11:22] can people access my computer or something if im in root?? [11:22] ahh I did try #wine not #winehd - #wine is a closed channel. Thans!! [11:22] root_: it significantly reduces your security [11:22] Psycho_Mario: http://www.softpanorama.org/Utilities/Screen/screenrc_examples.shtml [11:22] root_: its one reason why the account is disabled, yet people still enable the account, go figure [11:22] ActionParsnip: deleting all hidden folders from home [11:22] ActionParsnip: that will delete lots of folders, more than just gnome-ones [11:22] Psycho_Mario: 'startup_message off' [11:22] i am using a different partition.. i dont care about this one.. its backtrack... my normal partition is ubuntu... but if i load the root shell prompt and type startx i get loaded into the root??? [11:23] Dr_Willis: works, thanks [11:23] root_: startx while running as root.. would startup up X as root.... [11:23] dr_willis: i appriciate the info but i am really new to linux and dont know what that means [11:24] it means X could do absolutely anything to your machine [11:25] Dr_Willis: gobbe: what commands should i use to create new user [11:25] fosser_josh: sudo adduser [11:25] thousands: what is x.. im so confused... [11:25] x is the basis for your desktop. windows and stuff. I think [11:26] fosser_josh: 'sudo adduser newusername' is all i ever use. [11:26] root_: time to spend some time learning linux basics and fundamentals I guess. [11:27] !X [11:27] 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 [11:27] Dr_Willis: gobbe: do i need to specify shell and home directory [11:27] dr_willis: agreed... im learning.. bit by bit.. [11:27] fosser_josh: hit enter.. use defaults [11:27] root_: root is the "superuser" account of a linux computer, kind of like the Administrator account on a windows computer. It is bad security practice to run applications as the root user unless they absolutely need it. X is the graphical subsystem of your computer. It can be started by executing startx but is normally started by a display manager such as GDM when the computer boots [11:27] better than i was a month ago.. thats for sure.. but i do too much experimenting [11:28] root_: experimenting is good! :) [11:28] root_: use virtual box - to experiment in. [11:28] gobbe: user wanted desktop defaults, so deleting the fodlers will achiene this :0 [11:28] hi. how do i list which packages were installed by me, as opposed to the ones that shipped with the distro?? [11:29] epl: thank you very much... so running as root i could damage my own system .. [11:29] hi, anyone experienced that the install of ubuntu is not going smoothly. i always af th press a key when the install gets stuck! [11:29] ActionParsnip: it will delete lots more also [11:29] crawler: im not sure there exist such a list on the system. there might be some web sites that have a list. but even then. the install process can install differnt things during install. [11:29] ActionParsnip: so don't tell anyone to delete all .-files just to get desktop defaults [11:30] been a win user for 18 years, I've got it setup to run like its a mac and its beautiful, i saw this room had 1400 people in it and I'm super curious why ubuntu is so popular, what does it do better than windows (other than security) [11:30] red2kic: Sorry, no. !=pinning, holding, or backports. [11:30] ubuntu tweak has a tool to 'reset gnome' back to defaults.. i recall. [11:30] !binutils [11:30] crawler: you could boot the liveCD and run: dpkg -l > original.txt copy the file to the internal partition or usb stick, then boot to the installed OS and run: dpkg -l > ~/current.txt you can then compare the files to see what is different [11:30] root_: yeah, running as root would be the same as running everything through sudo [11:30] dr_willis: lesson learned.. as soon as im fixed i will be using virtual box to experiement in... i just added lubuntu and xubuntu desktops to my packages.. from the software center and i think thats the source of my problem [11:30] MaxMeents1: install it to 200 machines for the same cost... :) Free.... [11:30] oh damn, no way [11:31] red2kic: binutils for 10.10 is version 2.20.51 [11:31] root_: installing lubuntu-desktop shouldent really affect thingsd.. but im not even sure what your orignal problem is [11:31] root_: you might try reading the PDF's @ http://fullcirclemagazine.org for linux/ubuntu fundamentals/tutorials/etc [11:31] dr_willis: can i use ubuntu tweak to fix my boot than.. [11:31] I take it its open source? [11:31] back [11:31] ActionParsnip: thanks, thats a very clever idea! [11:31] root_: no idea what your problem is/was.. [11:31] red2kic: I want <=2.20.1 [11:31] is the source code avaialbe for everything?? [11:31] MaxMeents1: lower system use in general, more developers, friendlier support, free support [11:31] someone can help me with my ubuntu 10.4 problems : no sound, and graphics fonctions [11:31] q_a_z_steve: Apparently synaptic have older version options. Try that.

[11:43] Damn it [11:43] gobbe: where's system? [11:43] Hmm.. Ive just noticed that the 'Me Applet' at the top right. lets me connect to my facebook account.. but its failing with an authication failuer error.. anyone else managed to connect via it?

I was looking for a nice way to say this. "I don't know, I'm just trying to facilitate your process..." [12:03] Dr_Willis: so now how to solve dat problem [12:03] fosser_josh1: at least now you h ave a useable desktop .. you can try to reinstall gnome-desktop now [12:03] k [12:03] Anyone recall the 'proper' way to totally reinstall gnome? [12:04] raven not a POST issue right? It does show some things? [12:04] Dr_Willis: --reinstall [12:04] fosser_josh1, Dr_Willis: do you mind summarizing the issue?

[12:05] raven I say bigger, meaning outside OS, not necessarily catastrophic [12:05] jrib: its fosser_josh1 having the issue. :) [12:05] jrib: problem was , i was unable to log in in my system. after log in screen wen i enter passwd, it returns to log in screen again [12:05] jrib [12:05] fosser_josh1: that sumamrized it correctly? :) [12:06] q_a_z_steve, oh that you mean - it boots up until ubuntu gets loaded and then it is not possible to interrupt or change by f1tof7 - monitor simply turns off [12:06] fosser_josh1: i had exacly same problem [12:06] fosser_josh1: what version of ubuntu? Did it ever work? What happened between it working and not working? [12:06] he could try doing a 'gnome-session' from a xterm only desktop to look for errors.. but im not sure of an easy way tod o that. [12:06] jrib: so i install icewm now now it working but i want gnome-desktop back [12:06] fosser_josh1: after going for natty [12:06] jrib: i m using ubuntu 10.04 [12:06] raven then interrupt grub, tap 'e' I think. or 'a'.

What happened between it working and it not working? [12:08] ubuntu can boot from PXE [12:08] now i have to create a mirror on my LAN [12:08] raven just like bios or windows F8, yes it is. I think. It better be. [12:09] jrib: today only this happend. now i m using icewm [12:09] q_a_z_steve, but ctrl alt del works - possible that the graphics card driver is broken?

[13:12] IceCas: did youy try fdisk/gparted? [13:13] IceCas: you can use dd on most anything.. [13:13] mac on linux is just for powerpc.. its old [13:13] Dr_Willis: "most" ? [13:13] !google [13:13] While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [13:13] Evilenko: how do you get mac on linux? [13:14] http://mac-on-linux.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Installation_Instructions [13:14] q_a_z_steve, sr is that it shows up as a SCSI cdrom. I guess. CD-Rom devices are usually read only cuz their loop or whatever [13:14] there is the instructions [13:14] q_a_z_steve: cant dd to a read only device. :) [13:14] Dr_Willis, dd failed on the sr1 device it's read only [13:15] IceCas: try fdisk/gparted yet? [13:15] mount rw [13:15] q_a_z_steve: the /dev/XXX entry is reporting its a cdrom. thats not going to work i imagine. [13:15] At least TRY it. [13:15] q_a_z_steve, I dont think you can mount a cdrom device as rw [13:16] Evilenko: I think you mean: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/ which is barely 2 years old, but works fine. It's hardly old [13:16] mount it then dd what? you are still dding the device.. not the filesystem on the device. [13:16] Dr_Willis, I tried Gparted earlier but it wasnt detected. Though I used the GUI. How would I go about using fdisk? [13:16] IceCas: how does mount know it's a CD, unless you tell it... I don't think -o loop is the problem. [13:16] no mac4lin is a theme, to make your ubuntu desktop look like Mac OS X [13:16] IceCas: sudo fdisk /dev/whatever [13:17] IceCas: but whats the core device to use. :) if the flash is partioned... thats the tricky bit. [13:17] I want to run mac software on ubuntu/linux.. Like there is wine to run windows software [13:17] can anyone tell me how to get my resolv.conf file to have the correct nameserver? it keeps getting overwitten with no nameserver in it [13:17] Dr_Willis: do dmesg | tail and see *right* sdX for you [13:17] nesbitt: maybe you're using DHCP in your network manager? [13:17] Dr_Willis: dd if=/dev/zero of/dev/sr(#) ?? [13:17] zootcat: these u3/special usb flash drives show up as 2 devices.. one as a 'usb cdrom' other as a normal usb flash drive.

[13:18] Evilenko: so its little over 8 days old, is that old? [13:18] Dr_Willis, I didnt understand that [13:18] q_a_z_steve: you could try dding the /dev/sdX if of the usb part... [13:18] q_a_z_steve, I dont know how it knows. It got automounted [13:19] ive only had to 'fix' a few U3's in the past. not seen any Privacy ISOFS feature [13:19] IceCas: that's my point [13:19] nesbitt: nope, it's a mixin of graphical and system tools. It's default in Ubuntu desktop, but I'm not sure whether it's in Server too [13:19] !umount [13:19] IceCas: use mount command and see what it mounted where. [13:19] which link?

[13:20] Any application that auto-generates a '.deb' package from source code ? [13:21] http://www.kingston.com/flash/DTVaultPrivacy.asp - its possible this "privacy' thing - is some actual special bit of hardware in the flash drive as well. very differnt then how U3 works [13:21] Dr_Willis, That's what I am afraid of [13:21] * ActionParsnip loves when people say something is 'old' when it isn't [13:21] !info .deb | Jenk [13:21] nesbitt: so, I guess dhcp client does the *bad* thing about dropping your resolv.conf, so you should try digging that direction [13:21] Jenk: Package .deb does not exist in maverick [13:21] Jenk, see deb-devel [13:22] Any application that auto-generates a Ubuntu installer package from source code ?

[13:23] Jenk, use tarballs [13:23] Jenk: not that ive seen that you would want to hand out debs built with it.. personal use perhaps... [13:23] Jenk: could use apt-build [13:24] I have the source code of an application in a tar.bz2 file. How do I create Ubuntu install packages from such files ?

[13:27] Jenk: what are you compiling, and what version? === Tadej_ is now known as Tadej_laptop [13:27] YES. I've successfully obfuscated (read "doubled) my /etc/apt/sources.list1 [13:27] !

I have the 'tar.bz2' file and was wondering if there was a way to create an installer/installable-package of the source code. [13:28] Wait, can I separate lucid from maverick then??? [13:28] Jenk: transmission is no longer supported here [13:29] Jenk you want backports [13:29] done [13:29] Jenk: jaunty, sorry [13:30] q_a_z_steve: seperate lucid from maverick? [13:30] Dr_Willis: elaborate, what can I use directory for? [13:30] q_a_z_steve, hey the force mount thing fails. We get """mount: block device /dev/sr1 is write-protected, mounting read-only; /dev/sr1 on /media/DTVP type iso9660 (ro)""" [13:31] q_a_z_steve: instead of having a huge sources.list you can have a file for each source, in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ makes them easier to manager/remove/add [13:31] This isn't application specific... There are so many programs out there all available in source code packaged in tarballs. Isn't there a way to create packages that auto-install when you single-click on them from their source code ? [13:31] IceCas: what does your mount / fstab line read? [13:31] Jenk: short answer.. No. Theres to much variation. === daniel is now known as jim_r0x [13:32] Dr_Willis, The other solution ? [13:32] Jenk, I linked the guide to you [13:32] Jenk Jaunty is out of support, upgrade.

[13:33] q_a_z_steve, """" #/ was on /dev/sda5 during installation """ [13:33] Jenk backports or dist-upgrade [13:33] Jenk: or upgrade to Karmic for support [13:33] IceCas: not quite the one I need. tell me how you attempted to "force".

[13:38] q_a_z_steve, What do you need clarified [13:38] IceCas: you can set up sudo in gentoo :) [13:38] Dr_Willis: i didnt use any ppa for this [13:38] Dr_Willis, I am aware [13:38] IceCas: sudo -i is the more ubuntu way to do it, keeps things nice and tidy [13:39] !pae [13:39] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [13:39] InvaderZim: so you have no extra repos enabled? [13:39] hello all :) [13:39] ActionParsnip, the -i switch does what? [13:39] hi AbhiJit [13:39] oh interacrtive mode [13:39] ok [13:39] IceCas: (i)nteractive sudo [13:39] hallo [13:39] Dr_Willis: I do but not gwibber related [13:39] please help with my "recovery menu" problem [13:39] Please tell me about porting Ubuntu to unusual platforms, such as ARM. [13:39] IceCas: means you will not have to type sudo or passwords for the duration of the interactive sudo session, use 'exit' to end it [13:39] InvaderZim: then either there is one in one of the extra ppa's or your keys for main some how got confused.. not sure how the security keys would get messed up. [13:39] somebody can help me to download files with xchat? [13:40] !arm | Skyquacker [13:40] !arm [13:40] Hmm. No arm afactouid heh [13:40] ActionParsnip, Yes, parsnip I remember. Thanks [13:40] :p [13:40] Skyquacker: ubuntu is allready ported to ARM i belive [13:40] so if I add 4gb and not use PAE it will use only 3.2gb or will not work? [13:40] Skyquacker: http://blog.canonical.com/?p=74 [13:40] SkyNetMaster, http://www.ubuntu.com/news/arm-linux [13:40] use* [13:40] hey i have pendrive from nike, whenever i plug it in nautilus shows an extra cd drive icon with nike content. can i remove the cd drive. [13:40] :/ [13:40] Skyquacker, ^^^ [13:41] share: theres hardware/other issues that can come into play when you have exactly 4gb of ram also. You may not see all 4 of the gb. but be a little short of it. [13:41] Dr_Willis: but the system works right [13:41] Skyquacker: alternative install [13:41] hey i have pendrive from nike, whenever i plug it in nautilus shows an extra cd drive icon with nike content. can i remove the cd drive. [13:41] share: it should work. the pae kernel however has issues with older hardware i have read. [13:41] ActionParsnip Wow, i will wait for it. Thank you! :-> [13:41] my hardware is recent [13:42] and cpu supports pae [13:42] akx8: dd [13:42] share: i only use 64bit stuff these days. :) [13:42] Dr_Willis: do you have issues with flash? [13:42] q_a_Z_steve?? [13:42] @q_a_z what should be if in dd [13:42] share: not that ive ever noticed. [13:42] whois Dr_Willis [13:42] share, sometimes facebook games are slow but otherwise flash is fine [13:43] * Dr_Willis is dr willis.. the dr of love. [13:43] IceCas: Clarify "so I just su'ed and hope for the best" [13:43] dir [13:43] bootissue: yes? [13:43] pm? [13:43] AbhiJit: what about fullscreen youtube videos and stuff [13:43] easier for me?? [13:43] share, fine too [13:43] Hallo Dr_Willis can u help me? [13:43] bootissue: it's busy, but I think you'll find in chan will get better results [13:44] !ask lordcirrus [13:44] !ask | lordcirrus [13:44] lordcirrus: 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. :-) [13:44] AbhiJit: do you know of any other issues that may occur with 64bit version? [13:44] share, that's rather vague. [13:44] share: ive been using 64bit mainly now for the last few years with very few issues. [13:45] share: i cant even think of eny issues at all... [13:45] @q_a_z_steve: what should i provide as if in dd [13:45] Dr_Willis: lol [13:45] Dr_Willis: yes, MohammadAG in #maemo did it, ported to arm [13:45] thanks :-) [13:45] share, 1% program are still not ported to 64 bit. one i know is mobile media convertor software. thats the only one **I** come to know. i dont have any problems with 64 bit [13:45] !64 | share [13:45] share: AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64%20Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [13:45] akx8: Actually tell me in a more specific way, you want to "remove" what? [13:45] share, you try 64 bit. its nice [13:45] I think zsnes is 32bit only.. but i hear it works if you force it to install.. but there are 64bit snes emulators out there now anyway [13:45] AbhiJit: first i need to buy ram :p [13:45] :( [13:45] I am using maverick and SSD (corsair 60GB), how do I know that the drive is aligned and that TRIM is working?? [13:45] @q_a_z_steve: i want to remove the cd drive icon that it shows [13:46] i find no matter if i boot from kernel 2.6.35-24, 2.6.35-23, 2.6.32-26, 2.6.32-21, plus recovery console all the same [13:46] share, how much ram do you have now? [13:46] 2gb [13:46] share: i run 64bit even on my 2gb ram machines. [13:46] xchat input to dowload a file [13:46] still end up with recovery menu [13:46] share, i have 2gb ram only [13:46] share, mine is laptop [13:46] lordcirrus: check the xcaht homepage/docs - theres ways to dcc files via xchat [13:46] q_a_z_steve, Oh, I did not remember how to use the --force flag or whichever. So I said hopefully su is enough. Either way didnt work [13:46] akx8: the icon, or the drive that's mounted, or the data on it? [13:46] thanks [13:47] lordcirrus: often the dcc features dont work due to firewalls/routers. [13:47] AbhiJit: yes but you could run 32.. or you expect to add more ram [13:47] share, i have 2gb swap space too [13:47] amm??? [13:47] @q_a_z_steve yes the drive that's mounted and it has an autorun.inf and some other stuff [13:47] share, you can run 64 bit ubuntu on 2gb ram easily [13:47] I have a small home lan. everything is running 64bit if it can. because that makes it easier for my 'apt-cacher-ng' server to cach all the downloads. :) [13:47] man irssi === MortenTemp is now known as Morten_ [13:47] IceCas: by "force" I think umount and specifying a brand new mount command will be different [13:47] bye [13:48] AbhiJit: i know i tried with livecd but what to i gain with that if i dont have more than 3.2gb [13:48] what does the system load after the grub... thats my issue... i get the same result from every option [13:48] *do [13:48] ok [13:48] doesnt make sense :x [13:48] akx8: are you saying you want to unmount the drive, or blow away the data, be clear. [13:48] @q_a_z_steve blow away the data [13:48] q_a_z_steve, Could you clarify that? [13:49] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/XXX [13:49] akx8: ^^^ [13:49] IceCas: start with umount [13:49] @q_a_z_steve i checked in gparted. it does not show the cd drive part [13:50] akx8: then what do you mean by "extra icon"? [13:50] i said i would be back.. i seem forgotten.. i have a problem.. and i cant boot ubuntu. [13:50] share, i started to use 64 because most of the problem have solved till then and the more user start to use 64 version the more its applications availability forced to developer [13:50] i get this recovery console instead [13:50] ;) [13:51] @q_a_z_steve: it shows /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sr0 and i am running dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=2048 [13:51] IceCas: mount -o loop is not required, neither are a bunch of other things, fiddle and see what works. if you are wanting to blow away data you don't even need it mounted. [13:51] bootissue: right. sorry. what more do you have? [13:51] Does anyone have a solution the audio/video synchronization problems in guvcvier from the Ubuntu repositories? [13:52] akx8: that will blow away the entire drive, so? [13:52] q_a_z_steve, Yes, that's already been done. The umount. and The mount -t blahblah -o rw /media/DataTrav . That was the first thing I did [13:52] @q_a_z_steve: will i able to format it to ntfs now [13:52] ONanski: which problem is that, Error? [13:52] q_a_Z_steve: i have four kernels and for kernels recovery consoles all the same result.. [13:52] p.m. [13:53] akx8: once it's done, sure. [13:53] hi, can some one help me with gparted, it is not identifying my filesystem [13:53] q_a_z_steve: Well, when you play the video back, the audio is playing at a faster rate than the video. [13:53] HI :) [13:53] I have windows XP installed but when I rebooted into gparted live USB its not identifying my filesystem at all [13:54] ONanski: does the same happen with other programs? [13:54] i have recently added lubuntu and xubuntu desktops plus removed unknow start up entries.. [13:54] now i cant boot at all [13:54] or some one can let me know if there is a dedicated gparted IRC room [13:54] Steve: I'll give it a try. One sec [13:55] bootissue: so something has broken those entries, grub can be fixed [13:55] shleda: Might be able to, what file system is it? [13:55] Hi :) How come when I run 'aptitude -s safe-upgrade --target-release `lsb_release -cs`-security' ; I get a security update for 'fuse-utils' yet when I search the Ubuntu Security Announce mailing list for the past 3 months to the two words 'fuse-utils', I get no results? This server was just recently installed and was kept up-to-date (on Dec. 15th 2010)? [13:55] q_a_z_steve: can a file be replaced with one from the iso of ubuntu to fix this [13:55] vtual kb ? [13:55] !tab > ONanski [13:56] ONanski, please see my private message [13:56] its NTFS but I dont see gparted identifying it [13:56] i dont care about the ubuntu settings ect.. just want a working os.. [13:56] shleda: which version of gparted are you using? (help>about) [13:56] bootissue: no, it won't know your stuff, not that simple. You can reinstall the entire OS and it will fix it. [13:57] q_a_z_steve, Works fine in Cheese - but the FPS in cheese it a little laggy. [13:57] q_a_z_steve, Thanks for the pm. [13:57] q_a_z_steve: with a usb and unetbootin [13:57] shifnix: what is version of package in your computer? [13:57] shifnix: sorry, wrong guy [13:57] ONanski: Okay, then it's app specific, not OS prob. [13:57] lol np [13:57] Silent93: gparted-live-0.7.1-1 [13:57] @q_a_z_steve: i dont remember the exat steps for createing an img file using console could you point to some site or tell me [13:57] bootissue: sorry, what about them> [13:57] shai__: what is your fuse-utils -packages version [13:58] akx8: creating an img of the drive? [13:58] q_a_z_steve, Okay, I'll contact the author of the software. Thanks [13:58] Silent93: I can see NTFS in the list of supported FS [13:58] shleda: I assume the live means your running the live cd version? [13:58] vtual kb, What is that came installd ? [13:58] q_a_z_steve: is that how i can reinstall?? [13:58] gobbe: Version: 2.8.1-1.1ubuntu2 [13:59] @q_a_z_steve: not of the drive but an img for the drive so i can edit its contents and pass it on [13:59] xjkx: it's called onboard and is part of a default install, just run alacarte and enable the entry [13:59] shleda: it is supported, I used it yesterday :P though I haven't tried the live cd [13:59] bootissue: however you got Ubuntu install media before, do that. [13:59] just reinstall ubuntu over the old ubunt partition [13:59] shai__: newist is 2.8.4 [13:59] Silent93: Yes, I have a HP laptop with c drive occupying the complete disk, its a work laptop, so cant reformat/partition it so decided to resize the partition [13:59] akx8: that doesn't make sense to me. [14:00] shai__: or are you runnoing 10.04? [14:00] shentino: you could install ubuntu into virtualbox - if you want a 'safest' route to try ubuntu [14:00] shleda: you can resize the ntfs under ubuntu livecd. I recommend you ask if you are allowed to mess with it first. They may get shouty [14:00] will that leave a bunch of broken packages... should i format the partion first?? [14:00] @q_a_z_steve: i remember first i used to dd if=/dev/zero of=~/usb.img === asd is now known as Guest80261 [14:00] bootissue: the installer will want to reformat / [14:00] bootissue: It will blow away everything. [14:00] i dont need kde, xfce, lubuntu.. [14:00] ActionParsnip: thanks a million [14:00] gobbe: But ins't my aptitude command suppose to just install security updates? And if yes, why can't I find this security update when I search for it here: http://old.nabble.com/ubuntu-security-announce-f12758.html ? [14:00] @q_a_z_steve:then some cmds for making it a valid filesystem [14:00] ActionParsnip: IT dept says do it at your own risk we wont support you [14:00] gobbe: 10.04 LTS [14:01] shleda: I did it by using a ubuntu live cd, compiling the source from the gparted website and then doing it like that, bit long winded but it worked [14:01] shai__: ok, then you should have newist one [14:01] i guess thats that... to fix my boot. i have to undo everything i ever did to it... that sucks.. [14:01] I'm trying to write an udev rule. Here's the output of udevadm: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/J7XjwZad. I thought I could use "ID_V4L_PRODUCT=WinTV PVR 500 (unit #1)" for my rule: http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/JCQRbVTw. But after "sudo service udev reload; sudo udevadm trigger" or a reboot nothing has changed. How should my rule look like? [14:01] shleda: go get a extra laptop hd. :) they are not too much $$ these days.. put the windows hd somewher safe. test out ubuntu on the new hd. [14:01] akx8: format? [14:01] Silent93: it always worked for me [14:01] hi. turkish canal ? [14:01] @q_a_z_steve: yep [14:01] bootissue: given the stuff you have done.. and what you have mentioned.. its hard to tell what you did to break it.. [14:01] cant i do some sort of fix that will go back 24 hours..

[14:02] Dr_Willis: I have just moved to a new job, I have a personal laptop with Ubuntu loaded on it :-), its just my work laptop I wont to load with Ubuntu [14:02] akx8: what's your question, are you asking how to format the drive, or how to image it so you can send contents somewhere? [14:02] shai__: maybe it's related to some other bug and that's reason why it's updated also [14:02] gobbe: I should? Or do I? From what you said, I don't ... since I have only Version: 2.8.1-1.1ubuntu2 [14:02] shleda: ive been running ubuntu from bootable flash drives on some machines. works decently well. [14:02] shai__: you are, i first looked from 10.10, my bad [14:02] bootissue: Not cross OS [14:02] shleda: I've never tried the full live cd so I can't help with that [14:02] shleda: inside virtualbox is very useable also. [14:03] @q_a_z_steve: make an image without a device then add contents and ship it [14:03] shleda: can you mount the partition? [14:03] got it.. seperate partitions for seporate os...\ [14:03] gobbe: but then, why does it want me to update it? [14:03] well guys, my problem is, I want to resize my existing c drive so that I can install ubuntu and then do not look at windows xp again [14:03] why is that crap in the software center anyways if it brakes your system [14:04] Any to help me, I need some software for GPS on ubuntu OS [14:04] shai__: well, there might be some fixes still [14:04] shai__: why you don't just install it?-) [14:04] akx8: dd if=/some/folder of=/some/file.img ? [14:04] shleda: live cd/installer can do that.. or the gaparted live cd.. windows vista and 7 can also resize ntfs from whtihn windows. [14:04] shleda: the system will become a dual boot but you can set the ubuntu to be the default [14:04] shleda: and do it faster then gparted/ubuntu installer can. [14:04] bootissue: that too. [14:04] have any one used SafeBoot data encryption tools? its on my laptop, do you think it can be an issue? [14:04] shleda.. get a new hard drive and play with that.. keep the xp in the drawer for when things go wrong.. [14:04] bootissue: what crap? [14:05] with every new laptop i get these days.. i pick up a new spare HD. :) bigger/faster also.. to use. [14:05] cheaper then paying for dvd/recovery media. and quicker. [14:05] dr_willis: i added the xubuntu and lubuntu desktops to my system and lubuntu is the culprit i think [14:05] Dr_Willis: and ActionParsnip I am trying to do the same using gparted [14:05] but this new laptop i got.. i did that.. THEN realized.. the laptop had places for 2 hard drives.. [14:05] gobbe: I don't like working like a monkey :) I like to understand the correlation between the packages my servers wants to upgrade, between the list announced by Ubuntu on their Security Announce List. [14:05] how do I install runewin on ubuntu 10.10? [14:06] bootissue: i think you are wrong. I have xubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop installed on other machines. and that does NOT break the system. just makes cluttered menus. [14:06] shai__: maybe you should ask it from list, but i would say that it is related to some other bug [14:06] And when on my server I see that I need to upgrade fuse-utils, I would like to see why, on their list... if I could only find the package in question there.... [14:06] bootissue: your system is havin issues befor those even load.. if you could get to a console, you could in theory remove them via the command line tools. [14:06] bootissue: you couldn't get xubuntu from the software center [14:07] what am i doing wrong than. please help me.. [14:07] Dr_Willis: well it seems I need to do it with WUBI [14:07] gobbe: 'aptitude -s safe-upgrade --target-release `lsb_release -cs`-security' ; am I right to assume the aforementioned command would install only security updates and nothing else (ie. no bug fixes etc.)?

[15:12] 10.04 [15:12] zetrtu: np, just press an arrow key when the PC is booting, you can select another entry in the grub menu [15:12] gobbe: seems to be a symlink [15:12] zetrtu: it seems that the README file in /etc/sudoers.d has wrong ownership. You could test if that is the issue causing you the problems, by removing line 25 from your /etc/sudoers file (the one starting #includedir) [15:12] whoever suggested apt-file, thanks [15:12] hey people. someone have problems with bridged networking running ubunt-server or ubuntu (10.10) on virtualbox 4 ? [15:12] jamescarr_: welcome :) [15:13] !details | chronos [15:13] chronos: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [15:13] no man of course i can boot in normal mode, when i boot on normal mode i can able to access on my system but on gnome terminal if i type sudo su - i got that error [15:13] gobbe: i use 10.04.01 [15:13] Rasmus: try the link I gave [15:13] chronos: of course not, ubutnu runs flawlessly... you should be able to get by with all these canned responses [15:13] zetrtu: Okay [15:13] this one http://paste.ubuntu.com/552173/ === Registras_ is now known as Digistras [15:14] wonder what the newb ratio is of 1479 people [15:14] yea ubuntu sucks [15:14] well guys, ubuntu just get a ip but not ping google ... while using nat I can get some activitie ... [15:14] zetrtu, you should comment the 25th line in sudoers file [15:14] Hola all - Got some questions about the hard drive parking heads wayyy too often. Getting a click, then a faint chirp/beep, but only in Ubuntu, not in Win 7 (which is also on this particular netbook), and the SMART status of the drive is fine, as well as testing fine in other HDD tools. Only happens in Ubuntu. Anyone have any ideas? [15:14] after seeing the readme file there is nothing on line 25th [15:15] just paste you ihere [15:15] chronos: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [15:15] ActionParsnip: didn't help :s [15:15] just ping my router [15:15] nothing else [15:15] zetrtu, sudoers file #includedir /etc/sudoers.d [15:15] zetrtu, Line 25 [15:15] my application bar isnt on top of my screen [15:16] chronos: what message does the ping to 8.8.8.8 give? [15:16] USER ERROR! There I said it. [15:16] daniel_: Then where is it? [15:16] Rasmus: thanks, if you reply when people offer help, it helps things along [15:16] ActionParsnip: timeout ActionParsnip [15:16] dont know [15:16] it went when i changed my password [15:17] daniel_: Have you tried rebooting? [15:17] ActionParsnip: what do you mean? [15:17] chronos: how have you configured the network interface? [15:17] still not getting you Sriram ? [15:17] ive tried but it still dont show [15:17] ActionParsnip: dhcp [15:17] Rasmus: well, I gave the link some time ago and there was no indication of success given etc [15:17] anyone know the reason for why wired connection wont work? [15:18] it wont connect me to my gateway [15:18] chronos: do you have name servers named in /etc/resolv.conf [15:18] okay, so apt-file tells me that synaptics.conf is under /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf [15:18] on /etc/sudoers.d/ i just only got a README file [15:18] Evilus: do you have an IP on the interface? [15:18] ActionParsnip: arh, and i run 64 bit [15:18] only local ip ActionParsnip [15:18] 127..... [15:18] ActionParsnip: from my ISP and from google on first place. [15:18] that seems kind of odd... as opposed to being under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ [15:18] zetrtu, In the /etc/sudoers file on line 25 #includedir /etc/sudoers.d,comment that [15:18] any ideas what is up [15:18] it's probably ubuntu problem with vbox 4 drivers, or vbox 4 bug :) [15:19] ok [15:19] but if anyone know to have issues with vbox 4 I'll try vbox 3 [15:19] Evilus: then run: sudo lshw -C network websearch for the product line [15:19] please help me. i keep getting error "insufficient privillage" everytime i tried to delete a network connection [15:19] is it even possible for the conf file under /usr/share to even be read? [15:19] ireez: Are you admin [15:19] ? [15:19] chronos: google luck fighting the Oraclebeast... [15:19] chronos: if you run: route what metrics do you have? [15:19] theres only one user on the box [15:20] chronos: could ask in #vbox to [15:20] that file allready commented Sriram === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [15:20] [15:20] strange I had no such issue last time I installed ubuntu. Now during installation it won't find my gateway...Anyway I will try what you said [15:20] Sriram: i'm the only user. [15:20] ireez: Oh [15:20] zetrtu, Then delete that line [15:20] comment or uncomment ? [15:20] Which Version of Wine is good for me, for runing vb programming in my buntu10.10 (32 bit) [15:20] Sriram: any idea how to fix that, please? [15:21] *sigh* also grup wont load it loads directly into ubunutu =/ [15:21] ireez: But you said you were trying to delete a user [15:21] ireez, your account is not a root account. Ubuntu doesn't, by default, allow individual users to create root-based accounts. You will need to modify your permissions.

[15:22] Evilus: the loader is called GRUB, not grup [15:22] ye I meant grub I corrected myself later [15:22] Sriram: ok, can u tell me what line should i add in the group or passwd file? [15:22] Evilus: the command may make it fly [15:23] ireez, please do not add yourself to the root group... [15:23] LoganJRuff: how? [15:23] ireez: THen add yourself to the root group, System > Preferences > Users and Groups [15:23] ireez: Then select manage groups [15:23] LoganJRuff: what are u suggesting? [15:23] installed proftpd on my ubuntu server, uploaded a well-formed jpeg, but the jpeg is damaged when downloaded. [15:23] Sriram, please do not suggest that people add themselves to the root group. Now they're coming in here about something simple, in two hours it'll be "zomg help I deleted my /etc files!!!". [15:24] well heres to reboot and see if the touchpad works [15:24] ireez, why does it need to be deleted and not simply modified or ignored? [15:24] wish me luck [15:24] LoganJRuff: Okay [15:24] In Linux the best advice is: "If it's not hurting anything, then please leave it alone." [15:24] ActionParsnip: still it loads into linux directly [15:25] LoganJRuff: i have two NIC, but there stated 4 network connection. [15:25] Thank you Sriram [15:25] hi, how to use open vpn in ubuntu [15:26] ireez, please allow me a moment to check your issue... [15:26] hi there, i need help setting up windows XP in virtual box on ubuntu 10.10. when im startin the virtual XP its says FATAL: no bootable medium found! system halted. can anyone help me [15:26] LoganJRuff: it really disturbing since this auto eth3 keep getting dhcp. while i wanted this nic doesnt have any ipv4 address so i need to disable the ipv4 connection [15:27] hi there, i need help setting up windows XP in virtual box on ubuntu 10.10. when im startin the virtual XP its says FATAL: no bootable medium found! system halted. can anyone help me!!! [15:27] c0__jomblow21yk it's simple right click on you connecion icon and then edit connection [15:27] LoganJRuff: i did that already. but each time i reboot the box, it keeps getting back to auto dhcp client mode [15:27] is the 'exec' in the correct position for this command? SOME_ENV_VAR=value exec /path/to/command === Registras_ is now known as Digistras [15:28] Larriv: did you tell the virtual system to mount the CD as the optical drive [15:28] Larriv, #vbox [15:28] hi guys [15:28] LoganJRuff: i think why not erase all the listed network connection and start from scratch [15:29] LoganJRuff: but i keep getting this error everytime i tried to delete any of the 4 connection [15:29] ireez, one moment... [15:29] ActionParsnip: where can i set this [15:30] LoganJRuff: my /etc/networking/interfaces only has 1 entries which for the eth1 and a regular auto lo [15:30] !dns [15:30] To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dns.html [15:30] LoganJRuff: ok i'll be waiting [15:30] Larriv: its in the storage option of the virtual system. Did you expect Windows to just appear in the virtual system? [15:30] ireez, this seems to address a similar issue with multiple NIC's. -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=378857 [15:31] ireez: I assume you know about sudo users? with sudo command you can do what root can do [15:31] why can't i remote into an ubuntu machine without logging in locally [15:31] !info dkms [15:31] dkms (source: dkms): Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework. In component main, is optional. Version 2.1.1.2-3ubuntu1.1 (maverick), package size 69 kB, installed size 476 kB [15:31] sacarlson, I do not know how to remove a network connection via CLI. Perhaps you might be of more assistance to him? =) [15:31] hmm [15:32] ActionParsnip: lol im new to ubuntu so i dont know realy what virtual box need to work, does i need to po a windows xp cd into my cd-rom to make it work [15:32] sacarlson: yes i use to nano the interfaces files. [15:32] matlock: how are you connecting? [15:32] sacarlson: what about it [15:32] Larriv: its a virtualbox thing, not Ubuntu specific [15:32] remote desktop viewer [15:32] LoganJRuff: hang on, let me take alook at the link. [15:32] Larriv: in the settings of the virtualbox you need to add the optical media [15:33] ireez, simply using sudo is preferable to adding a user to the root group for a variety of reasons. [15:33] @matlock: ssh is on? [15:33] @matlock: you must log in [15:33] ActionJohnny> remote desktop viewer (ubuntu) [15:33] ireez: if you know about it what do I need to tell? [15:33] wow bad tabcomplete there [15:33] ActionParsnip: ok so how can i do that [15:33] so to login i must first login locally? [15:33] that makes no sense [15:33] sacarlson, what, precisely, is the command to remove a network connection from CLI, would help him. [15:33] im ssh'd into the machine right now, why isn't that good enough [15:34] Larriv: open the manager and click the storage options, I dont have virtualbox to hand so I can't walk you step by step. You'll have to use logic but it's all there dude [15:34] LoganJRuff: what port is it you want to remove? [15:34] matlock: may help (I dont use crappy vnc): http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/start-vnc-server-ubuntu-boot [15:34] sacarlson, please direct your queries to ireez. Sorry, but I do not know that *and* I am doing homework for med school so... =P [15:34] * LoganJRuff is only half here... [15:35] so basically remote services is broken by default? [15:35] and i must install another remote viewer? === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [15:35] matlock: not sure, i think it will be something like that, you should look into how you can VNC to server systems as the service runs before the login prompt shows [15:36] LoganJRuff: ireez: sorry what port is it you want to disable/close? [15:36] sacarlson: dude, if i can just edit the interfaces file and all went well i won't be bothering you here all with problems [15:36] sacarlson: the fact is, it seems like my ubuntu ignored my interfaces file. and use the gnome nm-applet configuration instead. [15:37] how do i back today's maverick x server update out? [15:37] sacarlson: its not about the port. i just want to delete the entries in network connection. [15:38] how do i back today's 64bit maverick x server update out? [15:38] ireez: ok well I don't like the network-manager eather so is that what you want to got static and disable network-manager? [15:38] bbl [15:38] every time I my machine I must "chown -R /var/run/courier" How do I resolve this problem? [15:38] sacarlson: makes that two of us. i now hated that network-manager so much. its easier configuring with the interfaces file [15:39] i am going to try reinstalling the nvidia driver === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [15:39] s/"chown -R daemon:daemon..." [15:39] ireez: is it okay to disable that network-manager and stick to the interfaces file? [15:39] sigh [15:39] I can't get anything to work...no internet and no grub [15:39] sacarlson: is it okay to disable that network-manager and stick to the interfaces file? [15:40] ireez: try sudo service network-manager stop [15:40] ireez: yes [15:40] sacarlson: before i do that, one question. will it kill my connection instantly? [15:40] ireez: I just run static [15:41] ireez: I don't think so it will leave you in your present state [15:41] sacarlson: on my situation, i would agree with you coz its gonna be left sit there alone. [15:41] hey im having trouble permantly mounting a windows share through cifs.... my /var/log/messages says Jan 9 07:40:44 Sassy kernel: [ 7087.638206] Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [15:41] sacarlson: please wait [15:41] im using fstab [15:42] also made the credentials file with the correct username and password and tried adding domain name... no luck [15:43] sacarlson: ok, its now in stop/waiting state. will it reload after a reboot? [15:43] ireez: yes [15:43] ireez: you can use synaptic to remove it === Registras_ is now known as Digistras [15:44] sacarlson: even save to remove it? what about other gnome networking thing? [15:44] reinstalling the nvidia driver by using the factory-supplied installer worked [15:44] ireez: make sure your settings in /etc/network/interfaces are set and that your file /etc/resolv.conf has what you need in it [15:44] sacarlson: coz rightnow the computer i work on is like 500 km from my place [15:45] ireez: there are other network managers you running those also? [15:46] 人这么多 [15:46] what other gnome networking thing? [15:46] ireez: i don't think so. its a standard desktop installation. with vbox in it for a router [15:46] !jp [15:46] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [15:47] sacarlson: i don't know what other network thing gnome put inside the computer when i install it. ^_^ [15:47] hi, I am running an upgraded ubuntu 10.04 on an Athlon X2 64bit - as I only do office work on the computer, I don't see a point in upgrading but I am experiencing lag problems - is this in relation to the 64bit version I am running? [15:47] hi im trying to change admin password by typing passwd admin, but i get this response:passwd: Authentication token lock busy any ideas? pleaseeeeee [15:47] ireez: well from default there is only network-manager, I assume you know how to setup an interface file, if so I guess your set [15:47] i.e. would it be better to run a 32bit ubuntu? [15:47] ChocoCooks: you have a user named "admin"? [15:48] I have a Realtek (RTL-8139/8139C/9139C+) and I am having issues with connection to interent or rather it will not connect me to getway at all [15:48] sacarlson: ok. let me try your suggestion first and get back at you when done for mega thanks. [15:48] juro: unlikely, unless your running some new gpu that 64bit drivers haven't been developed enough yet [15:48] Tried googling for solution so far nothing [15:48] how do i permanently mount a windows share? [15:48] so i used to have gnome2-globalmenu and i dont rember how exactly i put it on 10.10 but it wasnt hard now i cant seem to get it on here i tried to add the repo then apt-get it like it says to do on websites but its not working [15:48] is there a place that i can find all the command of ubuntu [15:48] LoganJRuff: thanks for replying and the suggestion also. [15:49] twiztid: I think that would require an entry in /etc/fstab [15:49] juro: what are your other specs? also watch a process manager if anything is acting a little buggy [15:50] sacarlson: exactly! ive made my credentials file and added the line to fstab... once i input 'sudo mount -a' i get mount error(13): Permission denied [15:50] is it possible to use the keyboard on my putty client on the ssh server? the server is ubuntu and the client is my phone with putty and qwerty keyboard [15:51] Larriv: try looking in /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin [15:51] hi all [15:51] Evilus: try « sudo dhclient eth0 » [15:51] !samba | twiztid [15:51] twiztid: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[15:52] so that I can use the phone as a wireless keyboard basically [15:52] twiztid: should try to mount with cli (command line interpriter ) to test if you can do it before you try modify the fstab [15:52] erUSUL: I get listening on LPF/eth0/ipv6address [15:52] and sending on same [15:52] sacarlson: can i ask you one more thing? if i want to make an interface just turn on without getting ip address from a dhcp server, i don't need to put any entry in the file, do i? [15:53] then it tris to discover but fails === James is now known as Guest88297 [15:53] Evilus: you do not get a ip adress from gateaway? ( o home modem/router i am assuming) [15:53] ireez: you still need to add an entry to define what address you want it to be [15:53] erUSUL: eth0 does not get any ip adress at all [15:53] Evilus: :/ [15:54] erUSUL: now eth0_avahi appeard thoug hwith private address [15:54] hello - i was wondering if someone could help. i just installed 10.10 and have no sound at all and i'm stumped. [15:54] well my /var/log/messages says Jan 9 07:40:44 Sassy kernel: [ 7087.638206] Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE indicating that im accessing the share but being denied permissions... right? [15:54] so basically my question was does anyone know where i can find steps to install global menu on 10.10 ? [15:54] ireez: you should have already read this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [15:55] mackenzie, up in the taskbar is the Speaker/sound indicator ...right click that see if the sound has been muted [15:55] does anyone know how to enable surround sound without a pulseaudio server? [15:55] sacarlson: yes yes. thanks [15:55] coz_ the sound is not muted [15:55] erUSUL: been there and back... ugh [15:55] Evilus: and if you manually assing ip/gw etc ? does it work [15:55] ireez, open a terminal alsamixer check the sliders [15:55] ireez: sorry I assumed you knew that [15:55] erUSUL: when I try to manuall assign it just resets back to dhcp for some reason [15:55] mackenzie, ok you might want to also go to the #alsa and #pulseaudio channels [15:56] coz_ i went a step forward and put 'cat /proc/asound/cards' and got '--- no soundcards---' as a result [15:56] oh [15:56] mackenzie, then definitly go to #alsa and #pulseaudio [15:56] and i def have a realtek onboard soundcard [15:56] thus my confusion [15:56] Evilus: using network manager gui? [15:56] erUSUL: ye [15:57] sacarlson: yes yes. but i just want an interface to be on. not having address [15:57] mackenzie: Just a fluke deal, have you tried headphones? [15:57] coz_: excuse me? [15:57] i have NOT tried headphones, i'll plug some in now [15:57] erUSUL: solved it [15:57] ireez: how do you comunicate with an interface with no ip? [15:57] erUSUL: found a solution on google saying to turn of pc and unplugg for 10 sec and then plug in again and I tested and worked [15:57] I am currently using a macbook pro with 10.10 installed and the only thing that worked out of the box is headphones. Still haven't taken the time to fix... [15:57] ok now to solve GRUP issue [15:58] GRUB ** [15:58] ireez: ipv6? [15:58] ireez, I am not great with sound issues but the first place I would start is to open a terminal .and type alsamixer... there you would use the left and right arrows to move through all the available volume sliders...if one is marked "MM" hit the "m" on the keyboard to unmute and push up the sliders [15:58] aplay -l [15:59] headphones do nothing [15:59] i'll try #alsa [15:59] !sound [15:59] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.

I just got done with a photorec data recovery. I need to know of a way to determine which databases the MYI files I recovered belong to. Is there a way to open the MYI files so that I can remake the correct mappings and get my databases back up and running?

Installed win xp first and then had a 2nd partition where i installed ubuntu 10.10 at [16:03] so u chose ext4 system and / as boot [16:03] and now it ONLY boots into linux [16:03] there is no grub menu at all [16:03] coz_: i already did that :S [16:03] Evilus: maybe it doesnot appear by default. press shift during boot to force the menu to appear [16:03] Evilus: also make sure you have os-prober installed [16:04] ireez: all I can say is I'm sure it will work with a simple static ip on your host [16:04] Hilikus, ok then I would definitly scoot over to the #alsa and #pulseaudio channels to see what they suggest :) [16:04] Evilus: if you want the menu to appear allways you can edit /etc/default/grub [16:04] coz_: i've been there for the last 3 days, nobody answers. channel's pretty dead [16:04] Even if I try "sudo /etc/init.d/hostapd abcd" it doesn't give me a respose with usage example. [16:04] hmm ok erUSUL will try on next reboot ...os-prober is instaleld I ran it and dan the update thing it found 3 according to terminal the memtest linux + some other thing but not windows [16:05] ok I will try shift during boot erUSUL ...what exactly do I ahve to edit inside grub [16:05] Hilikus, oooo that's not good... not sure what to say.. did you google to see if ubuntu supports that sound card...? [16:05] Grub_default = 1 ? [16:05] Evilus: well if os-prober does not find windows then better add windows manually ... [16:05] !sound > Hilikus [16:05] coz_: i know it does. when i boot with a ubuntu-desktop live-cd it works [16:05] Hilikus, please see my private message [16:06] erUSUL: ok got time to explain how :P? [16:06] erUSUL: sorry if I am bothering you I never had these issues before [16:06] Hilikus, and when you go to system/preferences/sound the card does not show up under the hardware tab?

[16:28] qaapla: around 4-6gb, the partition should cover the /home aswell so i'd reccommend at least 15-20gb [16:28] qaapla: you can just set the disc to dynamically expand [16:29] Im trying to get a fully functional install off phplist going, which is a mailing list script.

Tried the ethernet connection on my pc, my mac and my ps3 it works but not on the linux [16:48] acicula: so how to know if the sources is good or not, and how to add them, i am new to ubuntu so sorry for asking lot of question [16:48] hi all.. i dont know if this is the right channel to ask this.... i wonder if it is safe to use this launchpad PPA ---> https://launchpad.net/~gstreamer-developers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=lucid [16:48] flonarsonar: ah like so [16:48] poutou === patrick is now known as Guest1899 [16:49] sophet, Sie können auch versuchen # # linux. Sie müssen registriert sein, aber sie könnten dir helfen, auch. [16:49] Larriv: dunno, the default repositories are pretty complete though, so there is no need to add other repositories [16:49] xangua: is those good on ubuntu and how to add them [16:49] acicula: ok thanks [16:49] flonarsonar: eh can you pastebin the output from route and ifconfig somewhere? [16:49] Larriv: it says how to... [16:50] acicula: from my mac on the working connection or from the linux machine? [16:50] how do I upgrade from 10.10 to 10.04? [16:50] flonarsonar: and can you check your router to see if you have some filtering enabled like mac filters [16:50] xangua: ? [16:50] flonarsonar: sure post both [16:50] acicula: wrong, i would add wine repo at least ;) [16:50] en1: flags=8863 mtu 1500 ether d8:30:62:55:df:45 inet6 fe80::da30:62ff:fe55:df45%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6 inet 192.168.2.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255 media: autoselect status: active [16:50] Evilenko: that's not upgrade, it's downgrade and other than full reinstall...is not supported [16:50] Evilenko, that would be a downgrade. [16:50] elhoir: wine is in the repository [16:50] is it possible to undelete a folder deleted via cli? [16:50] wops [16:50] my mac adress [16:51] DarkStar1, it is not really practical... [16:51] does anybody knows why i get this error when i listen to videos ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/552217/ [16:51] haha why is it an downgrade? [16:51] Im trying to get SMB working on my Ubuntu without success. I have followed a few guides but it seems it is not started correctly. testparm show all correct in my smb.conf [16:51] what do I do now?

[16:51] LoganJRuff: please explain [16:51] just click and paste [16:51] Evilenko, we number our releases via YEAR, then MONTH. So 10.04 was released 04/2010 (April 2010) whereas 10.10 was released 10/2010 (October 2010) [16:51] Evilenko: you'd have to reinstall - no way to go backwards [16:52] sacarlson: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in my credentials file where username=twiztid i HAD to include username=twiztid@MSHOME...... i knew about the need to tell cifs wat domain but never found a single forum or post that specifically said to do it like this.... all i ever found was to physically put domain=mshome ....im frekin dancin! xD [16:52] !undelete | DarkStar1 [16:52] DarkStar1: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [16:52] xangua: how can i add the sources you gave me [16:52] then ubuntu 11.04 is newer then 10.10? [16:52] Evilenko: yeah, though 11.04 isnt out yet [16:52] DarkStar1, the "rm" command destroys the link to the information on the hardware media, clearing it for rewrite. Restoring the link is not really practical as it is quite difficult. [16:52] Larriv: i already told you just READ the instruccions at getdeb.net and playdeb.net [16:53] LoganJRuff: Sorry shoulda said I'm ssh'ed into a centOS system [16:53] but i want to upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10? [16:53] can I check if I have grub 1 or 2? [16:53] any help please http://paste.ubuntu.com/552217/ [16:53] Evilenko, 11.04 is not yet out [16:53] or does ubuntu 10.10 come with grub 2 ? [16:53] xangua: ok thanks man [16:53] alpha one is? [16:53] hi [16:53] evilenko: use alpha [16:53] !11.04 | Evilenko [16:53] Evilenko: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [16:53] Evilenko, don't even think of using the alpha [16:53] twiztid: cool , to think I promoted giving up [16:53] haha why not? [16:53] is it so bad? [16:54] I need finer control over grub2. like: order of entries, visibility of entries. but it's all fully automated and not much too my liking. what can I do? [16:54] twiztid, please do not recommend alpha to newbies. =) [16:54] Evilenko: you can only try out the development version of the new ubuntu, once its released you can upgrade to it from 10.10, until then its explicityly not supported here, ask in #ubuntu+1 [16:54] Evilenko, ask in #ubuntu+1 , if you have any questions about 11.04 [16:54] Evilenko: #ubuntu+1 for help with 11.04 [16:54] LoganJRuff having problems with redeploying an updated webapp so I wanted to restore a deleted webapp folder [16:54] sacarlson: lol now its time to pass the word on all them damn forums [16:54] Evilenko, alpha releases are unstable at best. They're only for developers. [16:54] LoganJRuff, baptism of fire [16:54] Any help? [16:54] twiztid: do the added domain fixed it? [16:54] lukus, lol [16:54] :) [16:54] aha.. then I'm staying with 10.10 :D [16:54] thx guys! [16:55] * BluesKaj shrugs .. I'm not a dev , but natty is running quite well here . [16:55] Throw them to the crocodiles. The future of linux will swim - the rest will be croc poop. =D [16:55] glaceman: means you dont ahve vdpau (enabled) [16:55] Evilenko, always a pleasure buddy. [16:55] glaceman: its not an error, unlses you expected vdpau to work [16:55] if i want to write to you LoganJRuff? how do i do that? [16:56] You send private messages via /msg usernamehere message is here [16:56] acicula: can i download this vdpau ? [16:56] sacarlson: YA! in the credentials file i had to include "@(domain name)" after "username=windowsusername" [16:56] twiztid: ya add that to a forum, I see people strugle with it on a daily basis [16:56] howdy [16:56] so my credentials looks like this now, username=twiztid@MSHOME and all is good in fstab and its sittin pretty on my desktop! :) [16:56] Howdy joaojoao [16:57] glaceman: vdpau is a hardware feature present in some (modern) (nvidia) videocards. to use it you need the hardware and i think also the nvidia drivers enabled. [16:57] anyone here knows how to make the wlan work properly in a lg x140-1010 netbook? [16:57] twiztid: I guess I never tried a fstab mount, I'll try to remember this [16:57] I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on one of my old laptops and I cannot connect to a wireless network [16:58] joaojoao: have you tried connecting to ethernet and letting it update? [16:58] joaojoao, For specific issues, like that, you really will do better by Googling. Before we get started, did you even attempt to research your issue? [16:58] It says "device not ready(firmware missing)" [16:58] I tried, some say it works fine [16:58] PsPhaKeR_: same for you, did you run ubuntu updates using an ethernet cable? [16:58] joaojoao: i dont understand that. [16:58] acicula: no, it just installed [16:58] but I can't enable/disable it with the Fn key [16:59] joaojoao, lspci | grep -i wireless [16:59] Please post the output [16:59] it shows up wiith iwconfig [16:59] acicula: I dont know how to paste the logs here [16:59] PsPhaKeR_: run updates first and then see if it still lacks drivers [16:59] When attempting start Tomcat5.5 I get a: "lock file found but no process running for pid xxxx" - error.

[17:00] thanks acicula [17:00] PsPhaKeR_: plugging in a working network cable should trigger the update mechanism, if not its under Administration -> update manager [17:00] acicula: Ok, will try that now [17:00] (while connected) [17:00] This is kind of weird, iwconfig lists the device [17:01] flonarsonar, when you have installed pastebinit you can pipe the output of commands to pastebin and get a URL back as output. In other words: ls | pastebinit will return www.gohere.com) and you can give us that www.gohere.com... [17:01] Loganjruff: E:unable to locate package pastebinit [17:01] joaojoao: did you plugin a network cable, did you run update manager and did that finish all the way [17:01] flonarsonar: its a website [17:01] sacarlson: this is the fstab entry i used... //servernameORipaddress/sharedfolder /media/mountlocation cifs defaults,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=root/.smbcredentials,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777, 0 0 [17:01] flonarsonar, is that computer offline? [17:01] acicula: Sorry man I am so confused [17:01] logajruff: It is that is the main problem [17:02] Would someone mind explaining why "sudo hostapd -B /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" works fine, but "sudo /etc/init.d/hostapd" doesn't give any response or work? [17:02] loganjruff: It wont connect, even with ethernet with static [17:02] flonarsonar: open browser , go here -> http://paste.ubuntu.com <-. go to terminal, select all, ctrl-c, go to browser, ctrl-v, copy link and paste it in irc [17:02] flonarsonar, acicula I am sorry. I misunderstood. Flonarsonar - pastebin is a website and pastebinit is a tool we use via CLI. If you can't get the box online then my command won't work. My bad!! [17:02] I suspect it has something to do with power management, going to Ubuntu again to try some config stuff, brb [17:03] acicula: Okay but I can only do that with the mac since the linux machine is offlin [17:03] !flood [17:03] 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.

I've just installed Ubuntu on a friends HP G72 but I cannot get internet connection going [17:05] i dont know how to get into my firefox installation directory [17:05] when I try ifup eth0 it says there is no such interface [17:05] but it is listed upon sudo ifconfig [17:06] any ideas??? [17:06] i have a short question, i use the vnc feature of ubuntu 10.10, and i can identify with 2 different passwords [17:06] why? [17:06] sacarlson: i also edited /etc/nsswitch.conf from "files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4" to "files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4" so that should i choose to use the server name... but i have it on a static ip so i dont matter.. [17:06] flonarsonar: k, whats the linux machines ip/mask/gateway and routing entries, should be two at least. also can you check your switch to make sure you are not using a port thats shared with the uplink port(ie either use one or the other but not both at the same time) [17:06] dokma, unload it then reload it? [17:06] dokma: have you enable the drivers? in system -> administration-> additional dirvers [17:06] anyone? [17:06] sacarlson: and MSHOME is the name of MY workgroup on my xp machine [17:06] dokma: can you set an ip via sudo ifconfig eth0 up ?

[17:07] flonarsonar: seems fine, what about the routing table, and can you try plugging the cable into an other port [17:07] dokma: if the ethernet works? connect the laptop with cable, then activate the wireless drivers in: Additional drivers [17:08] acicula: I kind of lied when I said it was already installed :) and it keeps getting stuck at the installation screen, the loading cursor just keeps spinning [17:08] my router is not setup with dhcp but rather with static ip adressess [17:08] LinuxRULES: tx! [17:08] PsPhaKeR_: try the alternate installation disc [17:08] OK can i change mine account name ? [17:08] skutr3, logan@Lachance:~/.mozilla/firefox$ cd /home/logan/.mozilla/firefox [17:08] dokma: no problem :D [17:08] acicula: I just saw the routing thing, I havent put anything in there. I just changed the port now [17:08] acicula: What do you mean by that? [17:08] evening all! [17:09] acicula: So I need to put something into the routes tab aswell? [17:09] PsPhaKeR_: there is an installation cd/dvd/image called alternate, its a bit more spartan [17:10] dokma, ok try , sudo dhclient , it will still look for your static ip if it's listed as static in /etc/network/interfaces [17:10] LinuxRULES: I have no additional drivers section [17:10] flonarsonar: just paste whats in there, or type it over. they shouldnt be empty no [17:10] dokma: System -> Administration -> Additional drivers ? [17:10] acicula: I paste what I put in the ipv4 settings? [17:11] flonarsonar: no, output of route -n [17:11] LinuxRULES: no such thing in administration on 'Hardware Drivers' [17:11] acicula: I type route -n on my mac then and paste it from there to the linux machine? [17:11] only 'Hardware Drivers' [17:12] acicula: I am still a little confused... I can just search and download it? [17:12] flonarsonar: nvm, new plan. can you unplug the cable from the linux laptop and plug it into the mac and see if the mac gets an ip still/can connect? [17:12] PsPhaKeR_: same place you got your curent ubuntu installation media yes [17:12] !alternate [17:12] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [17:12] acicula: connected it to my mac now It got ip and everything is working on the mac [17:13] Anyone in here had issues with 10.10 sucking ? sluggish, multi-tasking non-existent, terrible USB drive throughput, network throughput is crap, and so forth.. Rolling back to 10.04.1 to see if that helps, same laptop ran 9.04 pretty well. [17:13] acicula: Do you mean the USB method? [17:13] flonarsonar: can you try pinging the gateway on the mac [17:13] acicula: okay [17:14] Acicula: yes It works by pinging [17:14] Hi. My encrypted home folder seems to be corrupted. I keep getting: "Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region" in my kernel log all the time. [17:14] are you using wireless on the mac or was it plugged in before? [17:14] How can I repair it? [17:14] Is there a thing, like VNC for console "screen"s ? [17:14] sponix, I see ppl in here having weird issues with it - I run 10.04.1 LTS [17:14] FrozenKnight: ssh [17:14] FrozenKnight: ssh? [17:15] xangua acicula I used the built in installation tool - the Ubuntu Software Center ( 2.0.7) . There was no gunzip but 7zip was there so I installed it. Although it was just lightened version of 7zip's full version it did the job. Here's how I handled it: After installing I opened console and used this command: 7z x "My precious - AndDesiredFile.zip.001" ...where the command x was -- x: eXtract files with full paths -- Thanks for any inconvenience [17:15] I brought You with my simple problem. And truly thanks again! [17:15] FrozenKnight: yes there is a framebeffeer vnc i recall [17:15] So I can connect from any other system with ssh and be able to see the screens? :) [17:15] FrozenKnight: better to use screen [17:15] FrozenKnight: screen does that. better then vnc would [17:15] flonarsonar: are you using wireless on the mac or was it plugged in before? [17:15] FrozenKnight: or 'byobu' theres some other ways also to do it. [17:15] FrozenKnight: but screen is a must learn tool [17:16] FrozenKnight: you get a terminal. but not the same ones as the ones in alt + f1 if you are talking about that [17:16] acicula: I was using wireless, and then plugged in the ethernet disabled the wireless and it worked [17:16] What is the funktion of the ~/Software/ directory? It appears on a Lucid and on a Maverick computer of mine. Another ubuntero tells me that it does not exist on his computer. Is it no default Ubuntu directory? [17:16] compdoc: yeah, figured dropping back a bit to LTS was worth a shot, I'm using it to keep backups of my Wii games on ext3 anyway for the most part. Just need something stable [17:16] Thank you Dr_Willis , now is this available for other platforms? :) [17:16] FrozenKnight: screen? if you can ssh - you can screen [17:16] erUSUL: that was what I was thinking... [17:16] Thanks Dr_Willis , I'll read on the subject :) [17:16] flonarsonar: hmm, how old is the linux laptop/when was the last time you use the ethernet port on ti [17:16] Thanks erUSUL, acicula and Dr_Willis ! :) [17:16] I keep getting: "Valid eCryptfs headers not found in file header region or xattr region" in my kernel log all the time and disk access seems really slow. What should i do? [17:17] acicula: It is a couple of years old, had windows 7 on like a week or so ago and it was working. [17:17] FrozenKnight: Teamviewer6 is free and blows vnc out of the water! i use it at home and away and its flawless! oh and did i mention its free??? http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx [17:17] FrozenKnight: it looks like you want "ssh + screen ('byobu' ) " like others have pointed out [17:17] flonarsonar: were you using the ethernet connection? [17:17] fratzbc: yeah, I like the idea, but I was thinking of using this PC as a server so without graphical interface. [17:17] acicula: I was mainly using wireless but I used ethernet aswell [17:17] sorry fratzbc [17:18] twiztid: yeah, I like the idea, but I was thinking of using this PC as a server so without graphical interface. [17:18] * erUSUL wonders what is this teamviewer pushing, around here lately [17:18] !free [17:18] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [17:18] acicula: when? times when I needed to use ethernet cause of the wireless signal [17:18] !ssh > FrozenKnight [17:18] FrozenKnight, please see my private message [17:18] !screen > FrozenKnight [17:19] acicula: I doubt its hardware, It must be something with the drivers [17:19] FrozenKnight: ah [17:19] Thanks erUSUL ! :) [17:19] flonarsonar: thats the thing, ethernet rarely seems to cause issues [17:20] flonarsonar: lspci | grep Ethernet , whats the output of that, should give the name of some ethernet controller [17:21] Dad juuust about dumped his beta down the sink. Whoops. [17:21] acicula: I type lspci then grep ethernet? [17:21] hello some on,e tell me which is the best iphone ssh client ? [17:21] flonarsonar: with the | pipe in between [17:21] rocktop: check the iphone market reviews perhaps. [17:22] Hello. I just bought a VPN service using openvpn. I tried using openvpn from a shell, but it didnt exactly work right. Could anyone tell me how to use a client.ovpn with the network-manager gui? [17:22] acicula: i found a solution for that error [17:22] I am getting this error on update,can anyone say me tha way to fix it??

[17:25] skutr3, hehe ur funny. um get a windows install. baclup data. boot to to the cd and install. sry to see u leave ubuntu [17:25] skutr3: go to win7 and download vista boot loader [17:26] skutr3: so u can edit the bootloader [17:26] flonarsonar: that nic should just work with linux from what i can tell [17:26] skutr3: delete the ubuntu folder from windows on ur parititons ( u know where u install it, c or d ) [17:26] i have vista bootloader [17:26] i never have figred out how to reinstall the win7 bootloader from within win7. just from the win7 restore partition/cds [17:26] skutr3: under vista bootloader simply remove the ubuntu [17:26] i dont know where that is though [17:26] skutr3, the simple way. backup data and use a reinstall cd. and it does the rest [17:26] What is the funktion of the ~/Software/ directory? It appears on a Lucid and on a Maverick computer of mine. Another ubuntero tells me that it does not exist on his computer. Is it no default Ubuntu directory? [17:26] witwolf: you have a "deluge" user and you want to run something in this account? Maybe it'd be better to install ssh and use ssh-copy-id to that account, so that you can use `ssh deluge@localhost command` without a password instead. [17:27] bullgard4: ive never seen it befor. [17:27] skutr3, o/c u do have to boot to the cd, just to be clear... [17:27] Dr_Willis: I see. But it is on 2 of my computers.

[17:28] flonarsonar: weird, maybe i missed something obvious but all i get back to is faulty network (settings) or nic. Is it possible to reinstall the win7 installation to verify the nic works? Alternatively maybe its disabled in the bios, but then i would expect you to not be able to bring up the interface at all [17:28] hi === AbhiJit is now known as Guest94206 === AbhiJit_ is now known as AbhiJit [17:28] Dr_Willis: The idea is that installed it myself indirectly by installing some package.

[17:32] Shaula: you ahv to isntall the pae kernel. that wont work on a lvie cd. [17:32] witwolf: perhaps it'd be better if you described what you wanted. To execute something as another user, with 2 commands you can do the ssh solution. Or you can mess with sudoers, which is not really recommented, but it's up to you. [17:32] chd: a friend of mine made a script to basically enable you to 'uncprs' any file if you have them installed. http://pastebin.com/TCKqctSd .. copy this to a file make it +x and add it to your ~/bin [17:32] alkisg: I would prefer if I can do it with sudoers. I added carel ALL = (deluge) NOPASSWD: ALL, but the command still asks for a password [17:32] alkisg: it isnt that it didnt work per se its that i am getting results that dont contain that phrase [17:32] acicula: What you said did not work [17:33] Dr_Willisİ; if I install it does it autmatically setup the pae kernel, or do I have to make install manually [17:33] alkisg: I am not sure how to do the SSH command.

[17:46] hi there [17:46] i have a problem [17:46] Anybody?

System>preferences>power management [18:54] LinuxRULES, i think unity sits on top of gnome [18:54] p1oooop: ok I will look also there thanks [18:54] PerSeL: no prob :) [18:55] jeff_: Yes, its easy [18:55] Hello, I'm also in need of some quick help. Mind if I take some of your time? [18:55] faviouz, ask [18:55] Here's the deal. [18:55] soreau: go ahead [18:55] jeff_: Just go to sys>admin>printing and [18:56] * AbhiJit looks 'here' [18:56] does anyone have any experience trying to install cherokee webserver on ubuntu? [18:56] why not just use apache [18:56] soreau im listening [18:56] I just installed Ubuntu 10.04, and I can't possibly connect to the internet. [18:57] faviouz: okay, what's the problem? [18:57] NICs not working? [18:57] slacker: because cherokee looks pretty cool and i like the web based admin [18:57] I tried connecting through the router and with my ethernet cable.~ [18:57] welcome llua [18:57] I was aware that Linux did not had router drivers by default. [18:57] :) [18:57] @ Faviouz open terminal and run "sudo lspci" (without the quotes) [18:57] find your nic card in the list [18:57] ok, do I need to be connected to do that? [18:57] jeff_: On the printer properties (assuming you already have the printer working) just choose to share it in the printer menu [18:57] no [18:57] Alright, just a sec. [18:58] that command will give you a list of all your PCI devices [18:58] I am using a HD 4250, I .deb'd the latest fglrx drivers, installed them successfully and successfully did an aticonfig --initial setup, and checked the info, and it looks like it installed correctly but I am getting bad 2d performance, and with compiz enabled its even worse, anyone know about these? [18:58] got that but it and have it advertising but win 7 still wont connect or even see it [18:58] its an IGP [18:59] I ran that, a lot of text came up. [18:59] Can anyone help me with grub. I am having issues with windows xp not loading. Here is the windows 20 file http://paste.ubuntu.com/552235/ and here is grub.cfg http://paste.ubuntu.com/552236/ and here is grub.cfg file http://paste.ubuntu.com/552238/ and here is fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/552239/ [18:59] soreau: have that but win 7 can''t see or connect by host name or ip [18:59] faviouz look through that list and (possibly near the bottom) you'll see "network interface card" [19:00] spreau same story on 2 different win 7 machines [19:00] ok, let me have a look [19:00] jeff_: On 10.04, go to this http://localhost:631/printers in your web browser and tell me if you see the printer there [19:00] CUPS :D [19:00] soreau yes its there [19:00] ##politics is a family friendly channel.

Is that it? [19:01] aye [19:01] Ethernet Controller ? [19:01] jeff_: Ok, now assuming you can ping the machines IPs both ways, go to the 7 machine and type the same address except change localhost to the local IP of the 10.04 bow [19:01] jeff_: box* [19:01] Does anyone else belive the rumors about the ubuntu tablet? [19:01] Yeah, ethernet controller is above network controller. [19:02] ADAMKISSES: best discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:02] ADAMKISSES: IDK, if they were true, HORRAY! [19:02] there are stories about an ubuntu tablet [19:02] soreau: i have tried that no luck === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [19:02] jeff_: Tried what? [19:02] faviouz sent you pm [19:02] thanks idoru [19:02] thanks, checkiong [19:02] Id like a nice sized tablet that could remote desktop my real PC [19:02] Does anyone know of a open source captioning software? [19:03] or remote desktop virtual machines [19:03] NimBiotics, what does it supposed to do? [19:03] captioning means? [19:03] ssoreau connecting by host name and by IP [19:03] Video caption, Text Caption??? [19:04] AbhiJit: looks like netbook-unity on 10.04 is slightly different than "unity" on 10.10 [19:04] soreau connecting by booth hostname and ip [19:04] Datz, yah may be. i diddnt tried it. i loves gnome! [19:04] * Datz wonders if he could get used to unity over gnome... [19:04] jeff_: First try just pinging the boxes both ways. Can you ping the IP address of the windows machine from ubuntu and vice-versa? [19:05] soreau yep [19:05] AbhiJit: I do too. But I guess 10.04 is going to ship with unity default, yes? [19:05] , closed captioning for videos for example [19:05] jeff_: And in the printers menu, does it show the printer as enabled and shared? [19:05] soreau: yes [19:05] NimBiotics, oh i see. i dont have any idea what it might be [19:05] Can anyone help me with grub. I am having issues with windows xp not loading. Here is the windows 20 file http://paste.ubuntu.com/552235/ and here is grub.cfg http://paste.ubuntu.com/552236/ and here is grub.cfg file http://paste.ubuntu.com/552238/ and here is fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/552239/ [19:05] Datz, right [19:06] has anyone else encountered this strange problem of being in an "unknown" runlevel in ubuntu 10.10? [19:06] Datz, I'm guessing you meant to say 11.04, 10.04 shipped with Gnome last April [19:06] best global menu for ubuntu? [19:06] I have an AMD Athlon processor with onboard sound as well as a second sound card. I would like to enable the onboard card, but it's not showing up in the Sound preferences. Is there anything I can do to enable it? I believe it uses Realtek AC97 drivers on Windows. [19:06] jeff_: What is the output of: service cups status [19:06] hey wait [19:07] doalittledance: is it enabled in BIOS? [19:07] Datz, its the 11.04 that is natty narwal released on april which will be released with unity [19:07] soreau got me there how do I get that? [19:07] LinuxRULES: there is no single best app for ANYTHING [19:07] Datz, 10.04 is lucid which is already released and it is lts [19:07] jeff_: The output of that command from your terminal. It should only be one line [19:07] !best | LinuxRULES [19:07] LinuxRULES: 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. [19:07] doalittledance, both cards show up in windows? [19:07] LinuxRULES: globalmenu will be a suitable solution as is globalmenu, I don't know of any other [19:08] ActionParsnip: okey but can you write some of the global menu that are out there? [19:08] LinuxRULES: there is no single best app for anything in Windows either [19:08] LinuxRULES: i only know globalmenu personally [19:08] ActionParsnip, compdoc: I believe it is enabled because both cards show up in windows. [19:08] wtf is this #ubuntu-unregistered mess? somehow I got thrown into it... altho I'm registered on Freenode??? [19:08] electrofreak: who knows... [19:08] soreau: jeff@ubuntuServer:~$ service cups [19:08] Usage: /etc/init.d/cups {start|stop|restart|force-reload|status} [19:08] christopher: right [19:08] [12:16] hey guys, anyone have ethernet card problems with karmic, Ithink.. might be jaunty [19:09] jeff_: I said service cups status [19:09] meant 11.04 (Datz is on 10.04) [19:09] soreau guess i dont understand [19:09] doalittledance: ok then can you use the alsa-info script on the sound troubleshooting page and give the link to the info [19:09] !sound | doalittledance [19:09] doalittledance: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [19:09] ikonia: hey, can I throw my bot into #ubuntu-bots? [19:09] jeff_: I asked for the command service cups status but you have only shown the output of service cups [19:10] Datz: natty is discussed and supported in #ubuntu+1 [19:10] sound cards tend to use the same resources: irqs, memory address ranges, etc. They do that to be compatible. How would you even tell an OS which sounds come out of which card? or do both cards work at the same time for the same sounds? [19:10] ActionParsnip: ok.. [19:10] soreau: jeff@ubuntuServer:~$ service cups status [19:10] Status of Common Unix Printing System: cupsd is running. [19:11] jeff_: that needs prefixing with sudo [19:11] jeff_: oh, status is ok ;) [19:11] comdoc: I use the sound cards one at a time, but need to be able to switch between them [19:11] jeff_: Ok so what happens when you try to go to http://:631/printers from the 7 machine? [19:11] compdoc even [19:11] ugg, loose power cable... anyone know about runlevel "unknown" [19:12] checking [19:12] electrofreak: that happens when we need to set #ubuntu to +r "registered users only" and your client identifies to services after trying to join the channel [19:13] stupid question. I downloaded bittorrent, but I can't find the program. if I type in "bittorrent" in the terminal it isn't recognized. [19:13] can someone help me remove ubuntu please [19:13] skutr3, i told you already [19:13] cp24eva: try hitting tab key a few times once you've started typing it in the terminal [19:13] cp24eva: you may not have the total and complete name of the app [19:14] does anybody here know any high quality iptv channel that I can run on vlc?

[19:15] electrofreak: sure thing. [19:16] AbhiJit: what do i do? [19:16] skutr3, You want to completely remove Ubuntu? [19:16] yes Logan [19:16] skutr3, delete ubuntu partition from win and then restro win mbr. to know how to restore win mbr get help in ##windows. and dont delete ubuntu partition until you have confirm working info of how to restore win mb r [19:17] skutr3, like Abhijit said... Is there something wrong with your Ubuntu? [19:17] spreau: it shows the cups interface [19:17] yes [19:17] skutr3, what is the issue? [19:18] wow. 4 hrs remaining -_- [19:18] I'm so freaking happy :P [19:18] well its saying that i dont have enough space... which i do [19:18] and i want it off [19:18] skutr3: it's only saying that because it wants you to think that [19:18] what? [19:19] skutr3: exactly. [19:19] jeff_: Great, but my nick is soreau, not spreau :) [19:19] wtf? [19:19] ! tab | jeff_ [19:19] jeff_: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [19:19] soreau it show the cup interface [19:19] p1oooop: please be helpful, sarcasm does not parse well on irc [19:19] Myrtti, the tab thing didnt give me what I wanted [19:19] IdleOne: I'm sorry :P [19:20] haha [19:20] jeff_: Now the only thing left you have to do is install it so go to windows control panel, select add new network printer and put in the exact address of the cups interface [19:20] compdoc: here's the output of alsa-info http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=558b8dc4c78030e1c62ae0ba016b479fa01a4771 [19:20] LoganJRuff, are you still there? [19:20] skutr3, p1oooop is attempting to say that Ubuntu, like all *nixes, is a bit more hands on and doesn't tend to baby you as much as Windows. It requires a bit more patience and expertise [19:20] trying [19:20] jeff_: Eventually it will ask for a driver and you can just select generic->color printer driver or whatever it is [19:20] Can somebody help me?

I need help it will not detect my libcurl4-openssl-dev [19:56] vocx as you are the solver around here ;) do you know whether this is save todo? http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [19:56] ner0x, :) [19:56] vocx, although i appreciate your "help" i'm not 100% satisfied... but at least released ;) [19:58] vocx, thank you for your assistance/time/patience ... i'll be off, doing some rebooting and stuff... [19:58] Is there a nautilus extension out there that'll let me create a torrent through the right-click menu? [19:59] Kruptein, it may work, but it may also erase a lot of useful configurations. If you only want to reset the panel, or some other application, you may edit something more specific like gconf [19:59] benedict, :) [20:00] can anyone help me with mounting HFS+ filesystem in write mode? [20:01] vocx but I can't login anymore after I deleted .gnome2/keyrings :f :D I think it's my only solution [20:01] . [20:01] correction, I can login, but not trough gnome [20:01] terminal ftw but I do need graphics to play games and to surf :D [20:02] I have nothing to lose, [20:02] I'm just going to try it [20:02] Kruptein, oh, you did it already, and only now you are asking if it's safe enough?! He he! You could probably reinstall. Or try to reinstall gnome? [20:02] Hello Everyone. I need help configuring a fakeRAID or softwareRAID on my nForce 680i SLi motherboard for Ubuntu Server - OR if Ubuntu Desktop is easier then I'll need help setting it up as a server. Can anyone assist me? I'm a level 1 noob. :) [20:03] vocx nono :D I did the keyrings thing to avoid the annoying message @ login, but I erased a litle bit to much :D [20:03] vocx and I think resetting gnome is the only solution, hence the link [20:03] I have to say, ubuntu (Gnome) has greatly surpassed KDE in integration, speed, and usability. [20:03] Kruptein, you followed some tutorial to avoid some "annoying message at login"? [20:03] Which is the default, Gnome or KDE? [20:03] Is there a nautilus extension out there that'll let me create a torrent through the right-click menu? [20:04] Hypoglybetic, Ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop as default, while Kubuntu uses KDE. But both desktops, and others, can be installed later. [20:04] I see. [20:05] Any suggestion for my fakeraid issue? [20:05] !desktop | Hypoglybetic [20:05] Hypoglybetic: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [20:05] vocx yes in some way and I never do it again, :D I can say I know ubuntu quite well and I do know when something can be trust or not, only the .gnome2 dir is unknown terrain for me :D [20:06] can someone tell me if portsentry is any good? do we still use it or is there anything better? [20:06] Ah, I am very profecient with computers, just not Linux. ...yet! [20:06] printheads needed cleaning [20:06] done and done. [20:06] Kruptein, but what did you do exactly? I see no "annoying message". I do remember some distributions ago, may be 3, the password was asked to connect to activate my wireless connection, one distribution later, it was no longer needed. [20:07] nobody is Hypoglybetic linux is a lifetime learning experience [20:07] vocx but now the annoying messages are my problem not anymore :D as I can't login anyway [20:07] I'm going to reinstall gnome [20:07] ha === randy is now known as Guest75439 [20:07] can I do sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome? [20:07] or is it gnome2? [20:08] So, is anyone free to help me with my fakeRAID or where do i take a number? [20:08] Kruptein, yes, perhaps something like that. [20:08] !raid | Hypoglybetic [20:08] Hypoglybetic: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [20:08] sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop if you want to remove gnome Kruptein [20:08] olskolirc: okay thanks [20:08] Hypoglybetic, I don't know about RAID but perhaps those pages are of help to you. [20:09] * olskolirc hopes he has a back up desktop to work within [20:09] Vocx, I've read those. They don't help me. [20:09] olskolirc: and I assume I just do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop again? [20:09] yeppers Kruptein [20:09] Kruptein, that would be "reinstall", so it reinstalls. [20:10] im on kubuntu Kruptein and when i need a new desktop I just do sudo rm -rf .kde but that may or may not be a quick fix for ubuntu users...can anyone verify? [20:10] vocx, It seems all of the raid stuff is for Ubuntu Desktop. How hard would it be to convert a desktop installation into a server post installation? [20:10] I've tried installing Ubuntu via Wubi, and by burning an image to a disc, and in either case, it steadfastly refuses to write an entry to my BCD, so I can't boot into it. I tried booting to the CD drive, but it kept throwing errors when I tried to load ubuntu directly from the disk. I ran a disc integrity check, and it said that there is nothing wrong with it [20:10] any ideas? [20:10] Hypoglybetic: it's same base [20:11] Hypoglybetic: so same lines work in server also [20:11] okay I assume that's what olskolirc meant, If I do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop I get an immensive list of packages and then couldn't fetch certain archives (translated) [20:11] Hypoglybetic, okay, here's another tip. Whenever you ask for help, say that you've tried the Ubuntu docs. [20:11] I'm sitting at the server installation "partiion disk" menu and I don't see how to configure my disks. It didn't give me any options. [20:11] Kruptein, thats the whole desktop packages coming back [20:12] olskolirc: yes but it fails.. [20:12] Hypoglybetic: what do you have in your screen now? [20:12] it can't fetch some archives [20:12] sudo apt-get -f install Kruptein [20:12] can anyone take a look at this smart output, should i move it to trash http://pastebin.com/RyqAnfdq [20:12] olskolirc: same problem [20:12] Hypoglybetic, a desktop is the same as a server, there is basically no difference. Desktops have a graphical desktop, while servers usually don't, and have some LAMP preinstalled. But you can install a Graphical desktop to your server anyways. What do you want to do with your server exactly? [20:13] sounds like you have broken packages Kruptein sudo synaptic [20:13] olskolirc: how am I going to get into synaptic if I do not have ubuntu-desktop? :D === olskolirc is now known as WorthyOfUrAttn [20:13] I want to host a web/file/media server. I then want to host virtual machines for XP, 2k3, and so on. [20:13] * WorthyOfUrAttn puts on tech support hat [20:13] WorthyOfUrAttn: :D [20:13] Getting a lot of errors when trying to send contacts to the couchdb (ubuntu one), is this typical? [20:13] what is bootloader path for Ubuntu? [20:14] you took it out that fast Kruptein ? [20:14] There isn't one! It fails somehow. [20:14] WorthyOfUrAttn: apparently ;) [20:14] EasyBCD suggested \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr [20:14] Can I sync my local contacts with ubuntu one rather than the couchdb? [20:14] there is another one lemme think what its called [20:14] * Kruptein smells sarcasm [20:14] its a terminal package installer Kruptein [20:14] Hello all. i was going to ask a quick question, but as it seems, my problem allieviated itself in the time it took for me to connect to this channel, so thanks for the help! it's funny how that works sometimes, isn't it. it's like technology is afraid of solutions. [20:14] no dear not at all Kruptein [20:14] which one do you mean? [20:15] Kruptein, "sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop", can you post in a pastebin the output of that? Perhaps you have messed up sources list. [20:15] vocx: okay [20:15] I"m thinking Kruptein [20:15] he can't vocx he has broken packages [20:15] I get "Failed to delete contact (Other error)" Happen often? [20:15] WorthyOfUrAttn, let's see the output anyway [20:15] right [20:16] vocx: okay this was retarted :D ubuntu-desktop is not installed and can't thus be reinstalled :D [20:16] what is the name of that other package manager that is stealthy like synaptic but its a terminal manager [20:16] does anyone know what I need to type to manually add an entry to Win7's BCD pointing to an installation of Ubuntu? [20:16] Okay, I rebooted. I'm sitting at the "Detect Disks" "Activate Serial ATA RAID devices" ? Every time I press Yes I can't get past the next screen. Currently my disks are not in RAID mode. [20:16] Hypoglybetic, what you want to do can be done with a desktop or server, it's just that a server is for people who don't want to install the graphical desktop anyway. [20:17] I love guis. Thats the first install on my list. [20:17] Hypoglybetic: ok, so didn't it detect any disks? [20:17] Hypoglybetic: it might be that your sata-controller is not supported [20:17] Hypoglybetic, you may then install the desktop first, and follow the instructions of those pages. [20:17] Its Nforce! [20:17] Everyone loves nForce! [20:18] I'm thinking I will go with Desktop. [20:18] Oh hey, when I selected "do not detect" it now shows all of them! It seems to be working. [20:19] Hypoglybetic, also, check out the ubuntuforums.org it's possible that somebody has more info on that. Check for your exact motherboard and "fake raid" or something like that. [20:19] hypoglybetic: if you are trying 64bit then try 32bit [20:19] WorthyOfUrAttn: dselect? [20:19] * Kruptein is just googling around [20:19] I think it is working, but I'm using purely software raid, not the chipset raid. [20:19] Kruptein, so you didn't install ubuntu-desktop? [20:20] im googling Kruptein what packagemanager did you find? [20:20] Give me a few minutes to read the options. [20:20] vocx I removed it a couple of minutes ago [20:20] WorthyOfUrAttn: dselect :D [20:20] hypoglybetic: if you want a desktop os, install the desktop os [20:20] http://askubuntu.com/questions/12870/alternative-package-manager-for-ubuntu-terminal [20:20] I never heard of that package manager [20:20] I'm trying to make a server >_> [20:20] you have broken packages somewhere im guessing until we look at the stdout [20:21] dselect is an option hon not a manager :-) === bustedup277 is now known as snooze277 [20:21] Is there any consensus on a video card thats runs very well with Linux? [20:21] brb [20:21] hypoglybetic: you can install server stuff on the desktop [20:22] WorthyOfUrAttn: definitely broken packages wait I'm going to look at my sources.list [20:22] psience7, video card is a very broad term, more like "model", "chipset" [20:22] hypoglybetic: the whole point of the server os is to NOT have a gui [20:23] vocx: Oh, what would be a good model/chipset, I am using an ATI HD4250 IGP right now its its not working very well [20:23] I suppose its because the primary drivers are closed source [20:23] WorthyOfUrAttn: do I need to enable backports and canonical partner repos? they got somehow disabled [20:23] But I don [20:23] what's the deb source for 10.4? [20:24] is it possible to repair bad sectors in linux? [20:24] i'm hoping to apt-get install update-manager and use that to go to 10.10 [20:24] Is there a limit to the software raid? I'm going to have a 4TB array using 5 disks in RAID5 :o [20:24] psience7, what is your definition of working well? Most IGP work okay in 2D acceleration it's just 3D acceleration that causes problems for people who cannot run fancy effects. [20:24] Idol_Mind, try test disk [20:24] AbhiJit, test disk? where can I find that? [20:24] ericp: can you expand the question please [20:24] the current sources.list is for intrepid (8?), though lsb_release -a says 10.4 [20:24] i have a problem with md5sum: when i type in console "echo a | md5sum" get 60b725f10c9c85c70d97880dfe8191b3 but md5 for a is 0cc175b9c0f1b6a831c399e269772661. what am i doing wrong? [20:25] Idol_Mind, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [20:25] enabeling canonical might help if you got any packages from there to begin with Kruptein I found it its called "aptitude" and its an X manager [20:25] this is why I always back up my sources.list [20:25] WorthyOfUrAttn: okay I changed the "-f" to "--fix-missing" and now I get: "http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-meta/ubuntu-desktop....deb failed [20:26] ericP, what did you do in the first place? It's seems like you manually installed some software sources some releases ago, and now you have broken sources. [20:26] per ActionParsnip's feedback: what's the appropriate deb entry in sources.list for a 10.04 box? [20:26] couldn't find be.archive.ubuntu.com [20:26] hypoglybetic: thelargest file ext4 can handle is many times bigger than that. you'll be fine [20:26] vocx: My 3D is actually working well, but my 2D is having problems, and turning on Compiz slows scrolling to noticeably being jerky and slow, but without compiz at least on normal lots of other issues seem to pop up [20:26] AbhiJit, looks like that is used to repair boot sectors, which isn't my problem [20:26] Kruptein: change to using a different country's mirror then [20:26] Thanks, I'm about to start the RAID [20:26] maco command line? [20:26] what's the command to get the bot to give the link to the minimal install CD link? [20:26] I know how to do that trough gui, but not command line [20:26] Idol_Mind, ohh just read the doc. i think it does the thing you want [20:27] Kruptein: sed -i 's/be\./us\./' /etc/apt/sources.list [20:27] Last thing, how can I make my Minimize, Maximize, and Close button appear on the right, instead of the left? [20:27] !minimal [20:27] maco thanks [20:27] 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 [20:27] Kruptein, which version of Ubuntu are you on? [20:27] ActionParsnip: thank you! [20:28] Kruptein, you should actually edit the file yourself, to make sure the file is correctly changed. Like "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" [20:28] Anyone mind sending me their init.d/hostapd file? - Mine doesn't appear to load. [20:28] hypoglybolic: i'd o [20:28] vocx I just checked to be sure :p [20:28] hey [20:28] anyone can recommend simple ftp client? [20:29] maco do you need to run an update command or such after that? [20:29] ly consider worrying around to 1000TB mark [20:29] WorthyOfUrAttn: 10.10 [20:29] Kruptein: yes. sudo apt-get update [20:29] sandking filezilla? [20:29] I'm getting an error "no root system" [20:29] sandking, GFTP i think [20:29] sorry Kruptein I don't touch Maverick [20:29] ericP, https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/configuration.html suggests that the deb entry for sources.list is "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid main restricted" [20:29] * WorthyOfUrAttn takes off tech support hat [20:29] WorthyOfUrAttn: what's wrong with maverick? :o === WorthyOfUrAttn is now known as olskolirc [20:30] maco that gives me a bunch of errors [20:30] WorthyOfUrAttn, the command "aptitude" is widely known by the way, you can use it instead of "apt-get" [20:30] WeThePeople: ok, i'll check it out. software center gives me plenty of options and i don't have time to check all of them [20:30] !ftp [20:30] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [20:30] vocx I was expecting some awesome tool :D aptitude did know that too [20:31] Kruptein: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [20:31] I never use apitude vocx I use kpackagekit or apt [20:31] I'm on kubuntu [20:31] Kruptein: does it look like all the urls have been chagned to us.archive.ubuntu.com? [20:31] maco yes [20:31] can anyone take a look at this dmesg output error related to my hdd http://pastebin.com/ETGshFuk [20:31] is it something with sources.list.d ? [20:31] what does it mean? [20:31] i have bad block? [20:31] olskolirc, aptitude is a command line "curses" application, so it runs in the terminal, doesn't matter the desktop [20:32] i know vocx but I don't like using it [20:32] Kruptein: so what kind of errors? [20:32] Kruptein, that link didn't work out for me [20:32] I have recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a MacBookPro 5,3 and have been trying to get the left-side fan1 to operate. For somereason only right-side fan2 works. I have installed lm-sensors, and attempted to run several scripts found on the internet regarding the manual control of the fans, and it seems there are a large number of sensors which are not operational. How do I get all of the sensors on the macbook to function as they should, as I suspect that i [20:32] s why I cannot get the fan to work? [20:32] it took me to google search [20:32] maco it says it can't reach ppa.launchapd.net however I couldn't find any "ppa" in my sources.list [20:33] Kruptein, chech /etc/apt/sources.list.d [20:33] Kruptein, check [20:33] rumpe2: it's a dir and it's full of ppa's xD [20:34] uponit12, 11.04 is still not stable, you can talk about its issues in #ubuntu+1 [20:34] ciao [20:34] !list [20:34] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

I connected the ethernet cable and run Update Manager and installed 200 Mb of changes, rebooted and it staill says "device not ready" Can I fix this problem? [20:45] robogadgetto_com, http://linux.suramya.com/tutorials/Install_GIMPShop/ [20:45] PsPhaKeR_, what kind of computer, how old, what wireless card? [20:45] DELL, 3-4 years, idk [20:45] I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 server, and am trying to get wireless working. I can ping the router just fine, but can't ping other machines on the network. Other machines can ping it. From the new machine, I also can't ping anything on the Internet; it fails with "unknown host". [20:45] sometimes when i try opening .exe files using wine, an error message appears saying something about executable bit... :( y?? [20:45] I need to dowload a 32 bit lib for my 64 bit machine, a 32 application needs it. The best way according to the internet is dowload a the 32 bit .deb lib and rip it open and extract the .so's and put it in /usr/lib32/. Now the question: Where can i browse all the debs? [20:45] Any ideas about where I go from here? I'm lost. === hekos is now known as Hekos [20:45] vocx: I must log in when i boot up so the screen is free, when i enter the code it prompts me again and then after the second time it opens [20:45] does anyone know how to burn a 4gb image to a dvd in ubuntu === marcos is now known as Guest45433 [20:46] Migaaresno, you can follow the Ubuntu archives, don't know the URLs, but there are there. [20:46] ghostnik11 if the 4gb image is a iso, you can click on it and a burn window apears. [20:46] vocx: DELL, 3-4 years, idk [20:46] Thanks vocx [20:47] migaaresno: i tried that and it keeps coming up as error [20:47] What is the error? [20:47] ghostnik11: you should be able to use k3b without using over burn. === Hekos is now known as hekos [20:47] Hi, I have server running without monitor and I would like to use graphical applications over ssh, do i have to install xserver or is there another way [20:48] migaaresno: i will take scree shot and post it [20:48] PsPhaKeR_ have you installed all the repositories?? [20:48] grashopper, use Xforwarding for ssh (ssh -Y user@host9 [20:48] ubnoob, you mean you need to enter the username and password? If you are the sole user of the computer, you can change that so that you are not asked for such username and password. [20:48] nicolas: idk is there a way to check? [20:48] ghostnik11, If its some cryptic error, the best way is as ubnoob said: use another burner. [20:48] ghostnik11: I understand but i don't have the answer for you on that one, sorry [20:49] wait and ill try to find out... [20:49] vocx: how do you do that? [20:49] ubnoob: k3b doesn't burn it either and just tried gnomebaker and it also gives me error saying file is 4gb and will not burn [20:49] PsPhaKeR_, if you don't know the make, model, or further characteristics of your computer, it's difficult to help solve the problem. Three or four years, is not a very long time. It's not really old. [20:49] * red2kic looks at his puppy for a minute... then decided not to touch the passwordless sudo option. [20:49] torrent is *so* much faster than website :D [20:49] Rumpe2: This is done by setting up sshd_config? [20:50] vocx: sorry all I know is that is a DELL [20:50] PsPhaKeR_ open the software sources.... [20:50] mannn I WISH someone would update and maintain lynx and give it graphs and support plugins [20:50] Sephnroth, naturally, you should download from torrent if you can. [20:50] ghostnik11: what ize is the destination disk - it should be 4.7 GB [20:50] nicolas: software resources? Where are they? [20:50] ubnoob: 4.7 and a dvd-r === a-saint is now known as Guest60885 [20:51] in administration [20:51] PsPhaKeR_, then ask a friend, or "someone who knows" It's very difficult to help otherwise. [20:51] ubnoob: gnomebaker read iso as 4.38 gb in size [20:51] is it safe to shrink ext4 partitions without causing data loss? [20:52] nicolas: Do you mean press F12 on boot? [20:52] ghostnik11 DVD R can only be burned 1 time. [20:52] aaa [20:52] You already burned it once? [20:52] Rumpe2: Thanks, now it works =) [20:52] ubnoob, it's in System > Administration > Users and groups or something like that. [20:52] IdleOne, usually it's safe, but not always (like any fundamental system-changes) [20:52] vocx: My family is computer retarded, and don;t know anything about them [20:52] what language have you installed ubuntu with?? [20:53] migaaresno: no, i keep getting error so it never even starts to burn it just ejects disc when i put same disc back in it comes up as blank [20:53] English nicolas [20:53] ghostnik11: im not sure why your having a problem with the program, i would try other programs to see what happens [20:53] No ideas? Sadfaec. [20:53] PsPhaKeR_, too bad. May be linux is not for you. Or if you bought the computer from Dell, ask them for support. [20:53] He already tried more programs. [20:53] ubnoob: can you recommend any other than, brasero, k3b, gnomebaker [20:54] ok... on the taskbar... System Have you tried other discs? [20:54] vocx: Well, Windows is not an option [20:54] ubnoob, or may be System > Administration > login screen, [20:54] vocx: i tried that but no dice.

[20:56] or PsPhaKeR_ [20:56] on the old computer?

[20:56] ghostnik11: Your going to like this- go to www.softpedia.com for a lot of options for burn programs. [20:57] migaaresno: same outcome when i try another blank dvd-r, the thing is it use to work in brasero of burning iso images of 4gb or greater and suddenly it just stoped [20:57] how can i download the files? [20:57] ubnoob: will go to site now and check it out thanks for help [20:57] umberto, what files do you want to download? Do you know what Ubuntu is? [20:57] ghostnik11, Could it be a update? [20:57] ghostnik11: In fact, im going to go their myself and look around- be back in a sec. [20:57] i am ubuntu's user and i want download avi [20:58] ghostnik11, most burning programs use the same underlying program or libraries, they are only different graphical interfaces [20:58] magicianlord: How can I get "jockey" [20:58] PsPhaKeR_: it is in your system menu "Hardware Drivers" [20:58] or Additional drivers [20:58] migaaresno: what do u mean? the last time i burnt a dvd was probably in 9.10 and it worked then perfectly and now i am on 10.04 [20:58] !piracy | umberto [20:58] umberto: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

You need to explain better your problem. [20:59] what's a good chat room to go and rant about people who are pissing me off? [20:59] ghostnik11, Have you burned anything else in 10.04? [20:59] magicianlord: I only have "additional Drivers" [20:59] why some idiot decided halt shuldn't be suid? [20:59] migaaresno: i even remembered in 8.10 it working great and me burning iso images to dvd-r so i can't comprehend why all of a sudden it stopped working in 10.04 [20:59] ok thank's but i want avi open , not copyrighted [20:59] bye everyone. [21:00] PsPhaKeR_: ok, activate the recommended one [21:00] hey guys. so i am having some issues connecting to a remote computer through ssh via publickey auth. my local user 'kevin' has id_rsa and id_rsa.pub both in ~/.ssh. i put my id_rsa.pub key in kevin@remote:~/.ssh/authorized_keys, chmod'd, and i can successfully connect to kevin@remote. now when i do the same and put the key in user2@remote:~/.ssh/authorized_keys, chmod'd, and try to log in, i get a "Permission denied (publickey)". any idea why?

[21:01] migaaresno: to 10.10 [21:01] knightrage: the public key should have a user@host at the end [21:01] knightrage, check permissions of user2 .ssh/authorized_keys.... and try to use ssh-copy-id for the future [21:01] you might want to change that [21:01] ghostnik11, No, updating the packages, not the whole system. [21:01] vocx: i have a problem with audio card , i have a toshiba with alc 867 realtek but the audio it's very very bad === Hello71 is now known as Guest85458 [21:02] migaaresno: yeah, u mean with sudo apt-update command right? [21:02] Hey folks. [21:02] ghostnik11, Yes. [21:02] Does anyone else have troubles with Vuze not performing a correct search? [21:02] soooooooooo i tried to update glib to 2.66 so i could install xplico and i did this while in fluxbox, it somehow screwed up fb window managment thingies, now after a reinstall of glib (the proper one in the repos) and fluxbox its still giving me trouble [21:02] I'd like to view a certain day from my irclogs. I'm using irssi, which makes an irclogs directory in my home folder. How can I use grep, gawk, or sed to view the discusion from a certain day? (I haven't used gawk or sed before, but I think it might work here) [21:02] When come Firefox 4 officiel version? [21:02] migaaresno: yeah, in fact i just did that add a ppa to see if i could get this same problem to work for burning iso to dvd [21:03] EnigmaticCoder: google for "regex" and use grep [21:03] Can anyone help an Ubuntu newb on how to install a tar.bz2 file? [21:03] cat "somefile" | grep "regex" [21:03] erkan^, perhaps ask in a firefox channel, or blob [21:03] Clockwerks77: it is not an install file [21:03] migaaresno: even after doing the update and going to synaptic to reload and select the mkisofs it still didn't work [21:03] vocx: It says failed for both of them :( [21:03] ok [21:03] good idea [21:03] i will ask [21:03] Clockwerks77: It is similar to a rar file, extract it [21:03] Clockwerks77: archive manager does it for you.. [21:03] vocx, sometimes, you just have to make a topic and go with it [21:04] EnigmaticCoder, depending on the format of the log, how do you know the date or time, and so? [21:04] tensorpudding & rumpe2: checking now... [21:04] --- Log opened Mon Dec 27 21:29:00 2010 [21:04] Artois and Nicolas: Oh.. Ok, it's what I downloaded for the latest version of Vuze so once I extract it, how do I install the program? [21:04] vocx, that was to you [21:04] It says the start and end time of a log [21:05] magicianlord: I says failed for both of the wireless drivers :( [21:05] EnigmaticCoder: "grep (dec 27)" [21:05] ghostnik11, Im completely at loss what could be the problem, I cant help you. [21:05] you just open it.. [21:05] Clockwerks77, a tar.bz2 is not an installable file, it's just an archive (tar) that is compressed (bz2) If you are a newb, you should have no need for it, and you are most probably doing something awkward. What are you doing? [21:05] Clockwerks77: Perhaps there is a readme file, I don't know what Vuze is [21:05] PsPhaKeR_: what is the name of the device that Jockey says [21:05] tensorpudding: it does, kevin@cerebus (which is my local user and host) [21:05] Anyone here able to tell me the input device path for "line In" on a ubuntu 10.10 system [21:05] migaaresno: well thanks for help but the funny thing is that i can burn on my mom laptop iso to dvd using imgburn but she is running windows xp [21:05] Again, what is Jockey? [21:05] Clockwerks77: its a jar file in ther [21:06] vuze is a bittorent client Artois [21:06] I am not sure where to start [21:06] magicianlord: What is Jockey? [21:06] rumpe2: permissions look good... .ssh is 700 and authorized_keys is 600... i couldnt use ssh-copy-id because the server only allows publickey authentication [21:06] PsPhaKeR_: Are you connected to the internet on your laptop via cable? (just wondering) [21:06] Clockwerks77: you open the .tar and then run the .jar file to run the application [21:06] EnigmaticCoder, yes you could do something like grep 'Dec 27' file.log [21:06] Artois: Yes [21:06] knightrage, who's the owner? [21:06] Ahh ok! [21:06] rumpe2: user2 [21:06] Thanks! [21:06] user2:user2 [21:06] PsPhaKeR_: the hardware isntaller that comes up when you click on the System hardware menu item [21:06] PsPhaKeR_: Ok, it failed to install the drivers within "Additional Drivers" (Jockey) [21:06] Clockwerks77: you need to unzip it ot a directory [21:06] The default version of Vuze through the software center doesn'ts eem to work correctly. [21:06] vocx: If I do that, won't I get everything after Dec 27 too? I'd like to just get one day [21:07] also Clockwerks77 ...there are better torrent apps out there like utorrent [21:07] Clockwerks77: what is vuze [21:07] magicianlord: itss a torent app [21:07] You recommend utorrent? [21:07] Ok, does it have a lumped searching format like vuze? [21:07] Clockwerks77: yes because its faster and simpler [21:07] That's mainly why I use Vuze. [21:07] EnigmaticCoder, one day later it wouldn't match the pattern [21:07] ppl how do i open a .arc file in ubuntu??? [21:07] Clockwerks77: just use transmission then [21:08] oh... you use vuze for legit media? Clockwerks77 [21:08] magicianlord: The error says "SystemError:InstallArchives() failed" [21:08] lol no Hellz, not at all. ;) [21:08] vocx: Hellz_Bellz, That only gets one line, a line that says Dec 27 [21:08] EnigmaticCoder, well, your question may be more elaborate. You want to output every single line belonging to Dec 27? With that command it may just give you that. [21:08] PsPhaKeR_: ok. what is the hardware device it showsw [21:08] :( [21:08] So, I guess you guys get this a lot, but I can't make my headphone jack to work... With a headphone pluged in, nothing happens... No clicks, no sound, nothing... The soud keeps on going on the regular speaker... Any hints or anything? [21:08] magicianlord: under "additional drivers" ?? [21:09] EnigmaticCoder: "cat /loca/tion/somefile | grep 'date'" [21:09] yes [21:09] * knightrage shrugs [21:09] soooooooooo i tried to update glib to 2.66 so i could install xplico and i did this while in fluxbox, it somehow screwed up fb window managment thingies, now after a reinstall of glib (the proper one in the repos) and fluxbox its still giving me trouble [21:09] magicianlord: Broadcom B43 wireless driver && Broadcom STA wireless driver ,magicianlord [21:09] PsPhaKeR_: ok. the S [21:10] Hellz_Bellz, you don't need to use cat with grep, the proper usage is grep 'something' file just saying [21:10] Hellz_Bellz: That still gives me one line [21:10] /nicolas apt-cache show arc [21:10] PsPhaKeR_: I have the Broadcom B43 driver installed perfectly with Jockey [21:10] Not every line has the date on it [21:10] PsPhaKeR_: youll need to use wireless backports from the 2.6.35 kernel for b43 for anykind of stability with the broadcom [21:10] nicolas: apt-cache show arc [21:10] PsPhaKeR_: STA driver should work. if you are connected to the internet through a wired connection, it will download, install and active it. plug in hte network cable first. if not, you will need to download it offline and follow the instal [21:10] PsPhaKeR_: i have to use the b43 [21:10] Hellz_Bellz: I am very confused right now tbh [21:11] 2.6.36 works fine on Arch with STA [21:11] EnigmaticCoder, try "grep -l -r irssifolder | awk '/(dec 26)/,/(dec 27)/' [21:11] nothing happens :( [21:11] Under the STA on it says "This driver is activated but not currently in use" [21:11] magicianlord: this isnt the arch channel...this is #ubuntu [21:11] nicolas: what do you mean [21:11] PsPhaKeR_: Restart [21:11] Hellz_Bellz: Hellz_Bellz obviously it is. pointing out that it works with that kernel [21:12] i have an arc file i want to open and i cant find an app that opens it or extracts it.. :( [21:12] Artois: restarting now... [21:12] rumpe2, brilliant And EnigmaticCoder I do remember that using awk is the key here, but haven't used it myself. Some tricks like that are in the programming subforum of ubuntuforums.org [21:12] nicolas: open a terminal and type: apt-cache show arc [21:12] how do i check hdd for bad blocks, what tool do you recomend? [21:12] Artois, do you know what that STA could be for him? [21:12] nicolas, ` http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/nomarch.1.html [21:12] nicolas: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/nomarch.1.html [21:12] EnigmaticCoder: I suggest you "less" the file, you can search in that file with too [21:13] wwwnix: e2fsck [21:13] when i run the terminal with the command you told me i only get a message that says invalid operation show [21:13] wait [21:13] no [21:13] nicolas, try it with unrar-nonfree or unp [21:13] grrrr what was it again [21:14] vocx, i used the commandlinefu.com-script for quick lookup ... it's really helpful :) [21:14] thank you!!

[21:54] guntbert, your a genius it just gave me that option as soon as you said that [21:54] for the mic it just says mic in [21:54] and thatz it [21:54] Guest54458 : 'scuse, might not be muted, but levels might be all the way down.

[21:58] itz alright, I found it [21:59] TRyin to work something out now [21:59] when i am runing wireshark in root it says Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous. ? why it could be a dangerous ? [21:59] Idol_Mind, if anything, just set vm.swappiness 10 in /etc/sysctl.conf [21:59] mongy, yeah, that was the idea [21:59] Anyone experience with zenity? [21:59] mongy: Depends on what hedoes on this machine. I recently added another 4GB to my 8GB machine because I always had 2GB swp usage ... [21:59] what about migrating my install to SSD? Is it safer/easier to do a fresh install and move stuff over? === wemaflo is now known as wema|off [21:59] I want to use zenity --list to pick from a list; the list has two columns, second column has spaces. --separator isn't working, and I can't seem to work around. Anyone have experience with this? [21:59] baddy: try installing the lastest version of 64 bit flash from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz This does not require ndiswrapper and also eliminates some of the problems [22:00] vlt, true. i have 4gb, and have swappiness 10 [22:00] Idol_Mind: You can easily migrate [22:00] when i install software on ubuntu software center or on terminal , he give me error ( the error same ) :( [22:00] Bipul`: Because running stuff as root is dangerous [22:00] I use 2 or 3 vm's at once also [22:00] vlt, how would I go about it? clonezilla isn't an option due to partition sizes [22:00] I would rather it use all my ram before it hit the drive, [22:00] how to install it [22:00] !remastersys | Idol_Mind [22:01] doh [22:01] jessd everything working now [22:01] THanks [22:01] Idol_Mind: I'd create the new partitions using fdisk, then rsync everything [22:01] swap is not necessary, unless you hibernate. most people do not. [22:01] bonsoir [22:01] Idol_Mind, thats remastersys then. [22:01] baddy, unzip it and follow the instructions in readme file [22:01] Bipul` : Doing _anything_ as root is dangerous for the same reasons; if the program does something unexpected, the consequences can be disasterous for the system [22:01] plz HelP me ,!! [22:01] hi all [22:01] Guest5448: Welcome [22:01] 2gb or more ram, you dont need swap, but it doesnt hurt. i run netbooks with 512mb with no swap [22:01] ok got it now [22:01] Idol_Mind: I forgot: Before creating the partitons, use dd to copy the first 63*512 byte of your old disk (contains GRUB) [22:01] mongy, that's awesome! wow [22:02] in nautilus, i can change the background pattern of the main window just fine however I can't change the pattern of the side bar but I've seen others do it. Is this a bug [22:02] magicianlord, true, my 1gig netbook runs fine [22:02] aGaain , when i install any software on ubuntu software center or on terminal , he give me error [22:02] vlt, i will have to rework grub anyways, so not a big deal (ubuntu is moving from sdb to sda) [22:03] jaber, what error? [22:03] Idol_Mind, if you copy you home (sudo cp -r . /etc/skel/) then it copies all your configs.. so just setup the same username and it wil be as if you cloned it [22:03] mongy: magicianlord better to have it though, if you have the space, [22:03] nothingspecial, true... [22:03] : E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [22:03] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [22:03] mongy, /etc/skel? what is that? [22:03] jaber: Do you have synaptic open? [22:03] no [22:03] Idol_Mind, template for new user [22:03] jaber: Or software center? [22:03] yes [22:04] !_! [22:04] jaber : Close it [22:04] Idol_Mind, its a new install after all. [22:04] jaber : Then try installing from terminal again. [22:04] Idol_Mind: It has the default configs [22:04] mongy, oh, cool. Will remastersys copy partition design or will it prompt me? [22:04] ok [22:04] I need help. I just finished installing Ubuntu Server, rebooted, and now Grub Rescue is on my screen. [22:04] how to select all the text and copy it in nano ? or when you use vi ?

[22:06] Hypoglybetic: hmmm ... GRUB doesn't find a file from the config. Type "linux /" (w/o quotes). Waht does it offer you? [22:07] unknown command linux [22:07] Plzz Help Me :( [22:07] jaber : Hmmm. The lock file is present because the system believes you have something open trying to install software [22:07] Hypoglybetic: Then try "kernel /" [22:07] jaber, sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock [22:07] when you say do you mean hit the TAB key? [22:07] jaber : Try this : from terminal, do "fuser /var/lib/dpkg/lock" [22:07] Hypoglybetic: is your tab key [22:08] good evening [22:08] Hypoglybetic: Yes ;-) [22:08] what does ubuntu actually do during install when its "automatically configuring the network"? and is there really no way to make it do the exact same thing from command line? all i can find information on is setting up my network interfaces manually [22:08] tab does nothing. [22:08] <[DeVil-BoY]> good evening [22:08] jaber : what comes back? [22:08] it seems like it would be faster to reinstall ubuntu server and this time not skip the automatic configuration >> [22:08] alfred: I don`t think you can ..... in nan0 [22:08] !who | Hypoglybetic [22:08] Hypoglybetic: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:08] <[DeVil-BoY]> what the command to mount a cifs share and have it remounted at boot up [22:08] jessd: bash: /var/lib/dpkg/lock: No such file or directory [22:08] alfred: nano ^^ [22:08] I haven't found a solution to this. Im on a netbook running ubuntu with gnome. One of my application windows is too large, and unsizable. I cant access the buttons I need, dragging the window 'halfway' onto another desktop doesnt show the bottom. Is there anything I can do? [22:08] Hypoglybetic: What does "root " look like? [22:08] vlt, Tab does nothing. and it still says unknown command. [22:09] mongy : don't come anything [22:09] vlt unknown command [22:09] jaber : which means that the lock file isn't there; what's the command you're running to install your software from commandline? [22:09] nothingspecial, thank you, I found out that now [22:09] little bit of help ... please ? [22:09] <[DeVil-BoY]> anyone? [22:09] is the 10% theory still practicle with SSDs? [22:09] <[DeVil-BoY]> what the command to mount a cifs share and have it remounted at boot up [22:09] Hypoglybetic: I'm afraid I can't help you then. I don't know GRUB's rescue mode.

[22:38] Sephnroth: You haven't assigned an IP address to eth0 [22:38] Fixed /etc/resolv.conf to point at our actual router. [22:38] I will sing all the praises of synaptic or aptitude or whatever else if some can help me with my e1000e driver [22:38] the router should hand them out automatically? [22:39] However, I'm now seeing something like 100 seconds to service 10 ping requests. Is this normal-ish? [22:39] Actual ping times are about 13ms or so, so performance is fine, just the ping test seems kinda odd. [22:39] Sephnroth: You can do this manually in /etc/network/interfaces, with `ifconfig eth0 ` or via DHCP [22:40] hi, somebody know if ubuntu can access NTFS data? [22:40] Sephnroth: It's not the router that hands out IP addresses but a DHCP server. [22:40] boursier, yes it can [22:40] i have solved btw. see you [22:40] !ntfs | Boursier [22:40] Boursier: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [22:40] thanks .. WeThePeople [22:41] right [22:41] vlt: thanks! just assigning it an ip got it working [22:41] and it can ping the router now [22:41] Sephnroth: But yes, maybe the device you call "router" has one integrated ;-) [22:41] will i have to do that each time I start the server however or will it remember it? [22:42] Sephnroth, did you set it via ifconfig?

[22:50] better not Fl0werR [22:50] hello [22:50] try anyway [22:50] ok ^^ [22:50] thanx [22:51] I'm trying to apply some patches to my kernel. I used apt-get source to retreive it, and patched it up. Now I'm wondering how to turn that source back into a .deb that I can install [22:51] ybit, in gnome system -> prefs -> keyboard [22:51] can anyone point me in the right direction? [22:51] i have created a partition in windows for ubuntu and gave it 20gb, how can i expand this partition(ive installed ubuntu 10.10) [22:51] mdgeorge: for what? [22:51] Hey guys, repeat question: [22:51] mdgeorge, you don't need to make a *.deb [22:51] hi, I try to access the following folder ~/.mozilla . I can t find it in the file browser and when trying to open it through the terminal I only get the message "/.mozilla is a folder". Does anyone know how I could gain access to it? [22:52] newbie1 he wants to compile kernel ;) [22:52] the easy way ofc [22:52] oh sorry [22:52] ;) [22:52] Is 100 seconds normal for 10 ping requests, even if the p[ing times themselves are good? [22:52] mdgeorge, just copy the kernel and make modules-install [22:52] mdgeorge u can configure it too before making it .deb [22:52] it'd be better trust me ;) [22:52] vlt: all working perfectly thanks :) took me a while to remember how to use VI then, its been so long since i used linux at all let alone command line only --; [22:52] remove some not-needed stuff [22:52] chrisA1: seems a lot too much [22:52] mdgeorge, read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [22:53] thanks [22:53] you mean it stopped after 100 sec? [22:53] I have created a group and assigned both users usera and userb to group icgrp001 have a folder in usera home directory that is part of icgrp001 and created a link in userb to /home/usera/folder yet when I try to cd to /home/userb/folder <- the symlink i get permision denied [22:53] Sephnroth I only use command line ;) [22:53] I hate gui's [22:53] ;) [22:53] when restarting the networking however it did output two lines chown and chmod "failed to get attribute of '/etc/resolv.conf' : no such file or directory <-- problem? it doesnt seem to of affected networking, ping works etc [22:53] Onepamopa: each to their own :) [22:53] the dir is set to 777 as well [22:53] but most people don't :-) [22:53] newbie1: no, I Crtl-C'd it after that long. [22:54] chrisA1, what do you mean 100sec? [22:54] no gui is a bit essential in this, im just setting up a server for version control and for network file backups (couldnt afford a NAS, but had a spare old pc hanging around) [22:54] very rubbish old thing with 256 ram, but good enough for a server! [22:54] nothingspecial: that worked thanks :) [22:54] maybe it won't stop by itself [22:54] sam-_-: I assume I should follow the instructions for lucid since there are no mav. instructions? [22:54] Where specifically, I've searched on this menu for about 15 minutes now [22:54] unlike windows one [22:54] hello [22:54] if the ping was fine you are done [22:55] Sorry, I'll be clearer: producing 10 lines worth of 'PING www.google.com etc' took 100 seconds. [22:55] hello === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [22:55] mdgeorge, i don't think anything has changed [22:55] The actual ping time was something like 13ms for each line. [22:55] ok, thanks [22:55] but the msec of the ping? [22:55] mdgeorge, may i ask why you make a custom kernel? [22:55] so it's normal [22:55] newbie [22:55] Okay, fair 'nuff. [22:55] I'm trying to fix a driver for my sound card [22:55] what is your issue chrisA1? [22:55] Apparently nothing. Thanks! :D [22:55] housam: yea [22:55] chrisA1, everything below 100ms is fine [22:55] ok lol [22:56] 13ms is very good for adsl [22:56] newbie can you help me i piding [22:56] you what? [22:56] mdgeorge, what's your soundcard? [22:57] sam-_-: it's an m-audio fast-track pro usb device [22:57] hi [22:57] quite particular one [22:57] sam-_-: there's a patch for it, but it doesn't support the features I want [22:57] so i burned a dvd of an .iso and it says creating image checksum after it finished and its been doing so for about 10 minutes which seems unusually long to me [22:57] i can not enter my MSN ID /msg newbie [22:57] sam-_-: so I'm gonna fix it :) === junius is now known as Guest54762 [22:57] HEy [22:57] in what program? [22:58] hey [22:58] Pidgin 2.7.3 [22:58] mdgeorge, so you want to add code to the driver yourself? [22:58] Just wanted to know if there is a software in Ubuntu where I can capture live video from my desktop. I'll be using it to make lectures for uni [22:58] Any ideas [22:58] I would like to have my windows partition mount as part of logging into my desktop, can someone help me with that? [22:58] ? [22:58] sam-_-: yes. [22:58] what does it tells you? never worked? [22:59] mdgeorge, ah ok. otherwise i would have pointed you to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [22:59] mdgeorge, new kernels without the hassle of compiling yourself [22:59] sam-_-: what is that? [22:59] hrm, it's showing USA International (AltGr dead keys) as being at the top of the keyboard layouts, I restarted X, but no luck using alt+a||e||i||o||u [22:59] using ubuntu 10.10, my raid array keeps going to "Raid array is not running" after a couple hours of inactivity. I have to go into disk manager, stop the array then start it again to access it. Why does this happen, and / or how do I fix this issue? [22:59] ah, I see. [22:59] i quote almoxarife, shouldn't be done automatically? === Pythonic[back] is now known as Python [22:59] Just wanted to know if there is a software in Ubuntu where I can capture live video from my desktop. I'll be using it to make lectures for uni [22:59] newbie1: are you saying to not do it or asking if I want to do it? [23:00] WebWalker3D: seems a standby like feature [23:00] recordmydesktop [23:00] ybit, maybe your keyboard is broken [23:00] how do i get mplayer as a plugin for embedded firefox videos?

[23:02] i installed recordmydesktop [23:02] can't find where to open it from though [23:02] cool [23:02] some help here [23:02] take for granted (almost). i can't help you better [23:02] its in audio and video [23:02] hi every one i had a question how to compile the latest stable kernel generic like ubuntu does it and install it as easy as possiable [23:02] nah, not showing up there [23:02] celestial, go here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [23:02] hmm....

[23:04] nop [23:04] never worked you mean? [23:04] It prints out áéíóú just fine in the console, xev, doesn't pick up anything when I type these characters though, whether I'm in gnome-terminal where it works, or in gedit where it doesn't. [23:04] this problem at all kind of messnger [23:04] which one should i go to i have maverick but the natty one seems more updated [23:04] can you connect to non msn networks? if you have that obviously [23:04] am despiser [23:04] I have created a group and assigned both users usera and userb to group icgrp001 have a folder in usera home directory that is part of icgrp001 and created a link in userb to /home/usera/folder yet when I try to cd to /home/userb/folder <- the symlink i get permision denied set the dir to 777 as well [23:06] housam [23:06] Maverick; My WiFi got extremely slow all of sudden, totally unresponsive. Speed dropped from 30mbit to 0.5mbit. pc issue since modem is still at full speed, no updates done [23:06] yes newbie [23:06] what is the /dev name for the keyboard? [23:06] ybit, in gedit go to tools -> set language. does it solve your problem? [23:07] i told you if you can connect to non msn networks, yahoo ecc..if u have it [23:07] Extreme ping as well [23:07] hobbel, might be interference. are you in an area with lots of wifi? [23:07] yes i can connect yahoo [23:07] hobbel sure that it didn't change connection speed somewhat? [23:07] stdout dev is /dev/pts* or /dev/tty* what is it for stdin? [23:07] and AIM [23:08] that's odd housam..try asking someone else..if has followed your statements [23:08] sam-_- newbie1 , its all of sudden, not changes made. It does it more often but this time its extreme. windows pc's dont suffer [23:08] hobbel, wait 0.5? wifi just drops to 1mbit imho [23:08] thaxxx for your time newbie [23:08] hobbel, how do you determine the speed? [23:08] Does anybody know if stdout dev is /dev/pts* or /dev/tty* what is it for stdin? [23:08] don't worry...hoped to help you better [23:08] sam-_- speedtest.net, 1000mb.bin [23:08] how do i get mplayer as a plugin for embedded firefox videos? [23:09] sam-_- i'm going to reset my modem now, dhcp pools looks weird [23:09] pr0ph3t: i guess dev/tty* but im not sure [23:09] hobbel maybe the network subsystem has gone crazy [23:10] pr0ph3t, why not use /dev/stdin /dev/stdout [23:10] hobbel you said modem, so are you using a driver for it? [23:10] why does my dvd im burning seem to be stalled on creating image checksum after it finished burning [23:10] maybe it's that the issue [23:10] sam-_-, I have more than one stdin and more than one stdout [23:10] hobbel, so it may not be a wifi issue at all [23:11] WhatToDo: enough space on disk? [23:11] pr0ph3t, in /dev ? [23:11] newbie1: more than enough [23:11] pr0ph3t, i don't understand [23:11] i dont either [23:12] sam-_-, stdout can be /dev/pts/0, /dev/pts1 etc [23:12] maybe is running eyefinity.. [23:13] newbie1: it seems like the disk is spinning periodically but theres no progress bar and it basically hasn't done anything in about 20-30 minutes [23:13] pr0ph3t, tell us what you want to do. i think this way should be easier [23:13] pr0ph3t, also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo_terminal [23:13] sam-_-, running on a remote device, so on said device stdout = /dev/pts/2, on server stdout= /dev/pts/0 [23:13] mmm...every time? even with cd? which program you use? [23:14] not with cd [23:14] sam-_-, to redirect to the right stdout I have to specify /dev/pts/0 or 2 [23:14] i right clicked the .iso and chose write to disk, i think ubuntu's native program is brasero but i didn't go through it [23:14] Hello, I need some help connecting by my Huawei E5830, It is detected as a storage media but not as a modem, I have tried usb-modem package but no use still [23:14] sam-_-, so I guessed to redirect to the right stdin I would have to do the same [23:15] i could tell you to disable the checksum, in fact if the disk doesn't work you cant do anything either [23:15] sam-_-, specify if it is the one on my client or server, using ssh [23:15] maybe look for a program update [23:15] could be brasero [23:16] !dvd [23:16] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[23:17] pr0ph3t, i don't think you normally have more than one stdin [23:17] it wont read even on windows? [23:17] it will read on windows [23:17] Hey, any good software for downloading youtube or other online videos? [23:17] i would go for another program [23:17] sam-_-, in fact I don't think you can do such thing, I want to effectively redirect stdin from client to stdin server [23:18] junius_: you can even search for firefox plugin as well [23:18] windows recognizes the media, but on ubuntu when i put a dvd-rw into my drive, the entire drive disappears from file manager [23:18] where from newbiel [23:18] i am a nood [23:18] noob [23:18] pr0ph3t, to separate machine right? [23:18] can i just eject it or would that cause the disk to not work? [23:18] newbeil: gonna try that and get back to u [23:18] sam-_-, yes connected via ssh [23:18] junius_: apt-cache search youtube yields clive, cclive, and abby.

[23:28] MM12 if it sees like mass storage you wont get much success [23:28] and whilst i was proudly getting my drink it just installed the world to go with it. and after install it naturally doesnt work :) [23:29] MM12: did you search if similar problems are known on internet? [23:29] i cant see user list in xchat how can i retrieve this? [23:29] baddy: ctrl f7 [23:29] I have created a group and assigned both users usera and userb to group icgrp001 have a folder in usera home directory that is part of icgrp001 and created a link in userb to /home/usera/folder yet when I try to cd to /home/userb/folder <- the symlink i get permision denied set the dir to 777 as well [23:29] no [23:29] newbiel: yes, some solutions are through creating a file in /etc/udev/rules.d, others say if u eject the storage the modem will be detected. no luck on both ways [23:30] On the same note does anyone know the format of the kill command I can use to target tomcat? As opposed to the pid of the process? [23:30] i cant see user list in xchat how can i retrieve this? [23:30] baddy, by reading the answers to your question [23:30] MM12 strange solutions are that...dont like; try with ndiswrapper and windows driver, maybe will work [23:30] rumpel [23:30] Anyone? [23:30] Hi, can someone please help me, i just recently instlaled ubuntu 10.10 for netbooks but when i rebooted it for updates it says an error corrupted low memory at ffff...... memory corrption detected in low memory [23:30] baddy: View > User List [23:30] ctrl f7 doesnt work [23:31] hi [23:31] or a different kernel module [23:31] i have that al ready [23:31] darkstar1: man top, there you'll find the parameter to target names [23:31] kabjj [23:31] its also selected but i cant see the user list [23:31] baddy, ubuntu+xchat or ubuntu+gnome-xchat? [23:31] no luck. booted straight to ubuntu. seems like it didnt even recognize the dvd === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [23:31] ubuntu + xchat [23:31] for me (very different btw) i have to remove ehci-hcd or it wont detect my usb wiki key [23:31] newbiel: I do not know how to use ndiswrapper, i have installed it but dunno what to do next. [23:31] I've installed Unbuntu uder VirtualBox. When I start the virtual machine, I don't get the grub menu. What does it mean ? [23:32] d3cented: Ok [23:32] MM12 you need to copy on disk the windows driver for the modem [23:32] ubuntu + xchat rumpel [23:32] baddy: see if you can adjust the window panes. [23:32] baddy, maybe rightklick on chat -> view ? [23:32] and then ndiswrapper with some option will load it [23:32] Hi, can someone please help me, i just recently instlaled ubuntu 10.10 for netbooks but when i rebooted it for updates it says an error corrupted low memory at ffff...... memory corrption detected in low memory [23:32] rumpel user list is selected but i dont see the user list [23:32] WhatToDo: so it didn't see it as bootable right? [23:33] MM12, ndiswrapper is probably a bad idea. [23:33] why sam? [23:33] kabjj thx [23:33] baddy, maybe its shifted far too right... go with the mouse to the right border and try to shift it more left [23:33] yep [23:33] sry guys [23:33] thx rumpel and kabjj [23:33] newbie1, will it do the modeswitching? [23:33] newbie1: perhaps. i think its more that it doesnt recognize the disk at all. when i put in a dvd of a movie it knows what movie it is and it recognizes blank disks just fine, as well as CD-R that i burned myself, but not DVD-RW or DVD-R that ive burned [23:34] someone can help about upstart ... i've mysql and mydns jobs, but i can't get mydns job depend on mysql === onre is now known as Guest62702 [23:34] manually works but on reboot only mysql gets started [23:34] MM12, did you create the 12d1:1401 in /etc/modeswitch.d and filled it with the correct information? [23:34] DarkStar1: pkill name [23:34] sam, i thought that with this way it was detected fine, but is only an assumption [23:34] jobs i'm using: http://paste.ubuntu.com/552318/ [23:34] baddy: you are welcome [23:34] without modeswitching or other [23:34] I've installed Unbuntu uder VirtualBox. When I start the virtual machine, I don't get the grub menu. What does it mean ? [23:35] sam-_-: nop. I am not sure how to do that [23:35] gribouille, but it boots? [23:35] gribouille: are you sure you selected to install the boot manager? [23:35] I have an external hdd that i think is broken, but i need the data off of it. when i use sudo sync with just my normal, 320gb drive, sync is (as far as my human eyes are concerned) instant. when i plug in the 500gb external drive, it appears to never stop. How do i recover my data? [23:35] newbie1: yeah i just looked in file browser and theres nothign on the left where it would show the cd/dvd and the drive appears empt [23:35] y [23:35] sam-_-, yes, but why isn't the grub menu displayed ? [23:35] newbie1, of course I did [23:36] sam-_-: modeswitch.d does not exist [23:36] d3cented: pkill?? never heard of that one [23:36] running Ubuntu 10.10, and liking Google Chrome as my browser, except for one thing. I have the LogMeIn plugin working fine in Firefox, but not in Chrome, which defaults to a Java interface although the plugin shows as being installed in Chrome. How can I get it to use the Logmein plugin? [23:37] WhatToDo: for me it's caused by a bad format of writing choosed (hope changeable) [23:37] by brasero [23:37] MM12, sudo cp /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1414 /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1401 [23:37] A question about VPNs in Gnome. To connect to my work VPN, I have to click the network icon, select VPN Connections, and select the appropriate entry in the menu. Is there a command that will have the same effect, that I can run from a command line or set up a keyboard shortcut for? [23:37] until now;-) [23:37] Chromium myk_robinson [23:37] sam-_-: what is usb modeswitch? [23:37] newbie1: how could i fix that? [23:37] Fl0werR: use chromium instead of the actual Chrome browser? [23:37] does someone use VirtualBox here ? [23:37] is there, like some website that explains possible ways to recover data? [23:38] try to search for options in the program [23:38] newbie1: ill try burning with K3B [23:38] im not confident you will find many [23:38] even that is good try [23:38] myk_robinson, i think it's chromium and not chrome? [23:38] -? [23:38] the only problem with chrome is that it has trouble logging into wifi authentication sites sometimes. i keep firefox and links ready for that purpose [23:38] just not to lose your mind on it [23:38] anyone knows a good dvd ripper [23:38] etfb, what kind of vpn? cisco? [23:38] I'm using Lubuntu 10.10 and need to fix my audio capture settings. What do I need to get/do? [23:38] Fl0werR: I downloaded Chrome from the website, not installed from Synaptic. It shows itself as Chrome [23:38] sam-_-, yes. [23:39] newbie1: the weird part is my other, Windows computer has no problem recognizing the media [23:39] sam-_-: Ah, it works just fine, just not in gedit. [23:39] it's odd, i told you before :-) [23:39] magicianlord, man usb_modeswitch [23:39] myk_robinson, so use Chromium [23:39] Which I assumed was the case for all other gui apps [23:39] it doesnt boot anyway, so it's not well done [23:39] sam-_-: i [23:39] baddy, I find Gnomebaker works best. I had nothing but trouble with K3B. === Fl0werR is now known as Fl0weR [23:39] sam i'll try it later from my ubuntu machine [23:40] ybit, then try poking around in gedit. gedit might be broken. [23:40] arkanabar: what is the issue? [23:40] I run gnome's Sound Recorder, get "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them with the "Sound Preferences" under the System Preferences menu." I don't have that menu or that app. [23:41] is there software one can use to locate a wifi hotspot router? [23:41] based on signal strength [23:41] newbie1: it said please insert an appendable medium. what does that meann? === oi-polloi is now known as errorcode [23:41] magicianlord, no need: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/usb_modeswitch.1.html [23:41] thanks [23:41] i'll read that when im in X [23:41] arkanabar, Are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu or something else? [23:41] etfb, using Lubuntu 10.10 [23:42] what does it mean when a battery is discharging at zero rate? [23:42] arkanabar, not familiar with that. What window manager does it use? [23:42] magicianlord: exactly what it says.. [23:42] arkanabar, in Gnome (ie standad Ubuntu) you can click the sound/volume icon on your system menu bar and choose Sound Preferences there. [23:42] etfb, it uses LXDE and so Openbox. [23:42] anyone a data recovery expert here? [23:43] kinks: what does zero rate mean? [23:43] a rate of zero, no change. [23:43] magicianlord, impossible. you can only measure how far it's away with one antenna [23:43] zaery you can ask [23:43] sam-_-: you sure? [23:43] zaery, no expert but ask anyway [23:43] eftb, lxpanel's volume control app does not have that function. [23:43] arkanabar, might be worth checking if there's a specific #lubuntu channel then. I found #ubuntu was quite, quite useless when I used to use Kubuntu, so I stayed in #kubuntu instead. [23:44] zaery: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [23:44] magicianlord, pretty sure. unless you explain to my how it can be done [23:44] if the wifi router knows where to send electrical impulses to your laptop, it must know exactly where the laptop is. and the laptoop should be able to figure it out likewise. [23:44] I've got an external drive that always thinks it's busy, and won't sync(it just hangs there, apparently forever) [23:44] eftb, I'm in there, but traffic is ... minimal. could you suggest any app to modify my audio capture settings? [23:44] goviel, thanks, i'll check that out :) [23:44] arkanabar, no idea, sorry. [23:44] magicianlord, it sends the signal everywhere. not just in one direction. === errorcode is now known as turdburglar [23:45] how do i reverse a fail2ban ban [23:45] sam-_-: but it must have a degree or synchronization [23:45] or there would be no meaningful communication === turdburglar is now known as oi-polloi === adrian is now known as Guest73375 [23:45] magicianlord, hmm. no i doesn't i don't no what you mean [23:45] newbie1: i have settings: Simulate, Create Image, Only Create Image, and Verify Written Data. It also has Remove Image selected and I'm unable to deselect it [23:46] wait [23:46] magicianlord, why would there no meaningful communication then? [23:46] MM12 give a read here http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=40854&start=0 [23:46] magicianlord, why would there be no meaningful communication then? [23:47] it's for mint but seems you can do anything without any sw [23:47] MM12, sudo cp /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1414 /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1401 [23:47] MM12, then edit the file. should be simple but ask if you have a question === n0c is now known as n0cturnal [23:48] hmm something isnt right. i've added a share to the smb.conf, set writable = yes, read only = no, create mask = 0755 and the path etc. look at network on my windows machine and theres the pc, double click theres the share, double click shows all the files inside [23:48] but it wont let me add new files [23:48] or edit the files there [23:49] newbie1: all of the settings are deselected except for the one i mentioned earlier by default. should i leave them like that and burn it? [23:49] Sephnroth, did you restart samba after editing? [23:49] sam- [23:49] yes [23:49] MM12, y [23:50] sam-_- it says tether mode does not work in the mint link .. [23:50] sudo service smbd restart. also tried "stop" and then "start to make sure [23:50] i didnt followed your last row [23:50] MM12, who/what says that? [23:50] Hey everyone, I downloaded one software and want to install it in my ubuntu, how can I do it? (I've already tried the GDebi Package Installer [23:50] please tell me what you did [23:50] and which option [23:51] Boursier, what format is it in, .deb? [23:51] some upstart guru here, i need help pls, http://paste.ubuntu.com/552318/ [23:51] i'm going mad :| [23:51] tar.gz .. [23:51] sam-_- the paragraph before the code. the link you gave me says that. [23:51] newbie1: all of those settings i mentioned earlier are not selected, except for Remove Image, which i can't deselect. Should I leave the settings the way they are? [23:51] zaery, it is tar.gz [23:51] i guess so [23:51] boursier, use archive manager to extract it first [23:51] is this k3b? [23:51] yeah [23:51] try a simulation though [23:51] usually a double-click will do it :) [23:52] ok [23:52] Sephnroth, post the smb.conf to pastebin.com [23:52] MM12, wasn't me who gave you the link [23:52] MM12 was me [23:52] er, ok, i'm ssh'd in to the machine, i'll try and figure out some way of copying the whole thing from vi inside putty xD [23:52] take it as it is, i didnt readout much [23:52] sam-_- oh sorry, i edited the file, it says huawei E180, mine is E5830 [23:53] actually [23:53] i'll just copy the config to one of the shared dirs [23:53] :) brb [23:53] !pastebinit | Sephnroth [23:53] so you dont waste a disc [23:53] Sephnroth: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:53] Anyone know if apturl can be made to work with the mozilla based prism browser? === _______xD is now known as ________xD [23:53] oh cool [23:53] i'll install that [23:54] zaery, sorry I've drooped... but i'm back.. you told me to use the arquive manager? [23:54] yup [23:54] MM12, anything after a # is a comment. so it doesn't matter. but you need to change the default vendor and the other stuff [23:54] * [DeVil-BoY] is now away, auto-away after 20 minutes (log\on pager\on) [23:54] MM12, actually vendor is the same for you [23:54] sam-_- I edited the file to have the same device ID shown in lsusb, vendor is the same so i left it alone. is there anything i do after that? [23:55] sephnroth: for the sake of urgency set "admin user = yourname" [23:55] MM12, not sure. but i don't think so [23:56] sam-_- I also ejected the mass storage, replugged the usb still no use .. === ogra is now known as Guest61100 [23:57] sam-_- what about the last line, Huaweimode? [23:57] http://pastebin.com/0HRE0ehm [23:57] theres my little addition for the share of the apache folder at the very bottom [23:58] pastebinit is bloody cool [23:58] MM12, did you reboot? it may need to reload udev so reboot and you are on the safe side [23:58] #dreddit [23:58] you told me to use the file manager first?.. now I have to extract the package? [23:58] sam-_- rebooting now [23:58] MM12, try with huwai mode first. then without [23:58] are you doing it now? [23:58] WhatToDo: [23:59] newbie1: yeah its simming [23:59] ok [23:59] what's the best space strategy game for ubuntu? [23:59] it said something about files being bigger than 2 gigs with a little warning triangle [23:59] zaery, you told me to use the file manager first?.. now I have to extract the package?
