=== bctrainers is now known as bctrainerz [00:00] hey guys im trying to install google gadget, when i run the ./configure, i receive error: zlib is not available [00:00] j2daosh, just like, i can't access directories on my mp3 player if it's not plugged in. (and mounted) [00:00] thieven`: yeah, thats what i figured, but I hoped there was a way to make my perl script access it without having to mount the share on the server === bctrainerz is now known as bctrainers [00:00] j2daosh, you of course could add a line in that script to make it mount before you access it. [00:01] thieven`: I would, but its not my server and I dont have the permissions to mount. I gotta have corporate do it then i can just access it since they won't trust me with those permissions ;) [00:02] when installing google gadget i receive error when i do the ./configure: error zlib is not available but is mandatory [00:03] glaceman: sounds like your missing a compression library. [00:03] lemme reboot into linux and I'll see what i can do to help ya out [00:04] Guys if someone else has issue with old imac bubble g3 and black screen ... create xorg.conf file in the directory path and use the config http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick#xorg.conf [00:05] That got my imac to boot up [00:05] thnx for the info pigy1_alt [00:05] where do i change the boot timer to let me select other oses?

[00:06] justask: its an option in the grub [00:06] !ask | yugnoswam [00:06] yugnoswam: 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. :-) [00:07] and how i change it? hoping not to touch config files [00:07] Can someone here please help me [00:07] with sound? [00:07] justask: http://lirent.net/ubuntu/change-waiting-time-on-grub-menu-boot-select-on-ubuntu.html [00:07] justask: you have to touch config files [00:07] ubuntu: what is your problem? [00:07] When I copy a large file to my sd card it says its done before it really is and when If I unplug the sd card to early the file is corrupt. Anyway to fix this? [00:07] My sound is not working :( [00:07] so no gui available either? [00:07] justask: /etc/default/grub [00:07] GUI works [00:07] !grub2 | justask [00:07] justask: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I am currently installing ubuntu onto my main computer via memory stick, I am on the desktop and have clicked the "Install Ubuntu 10.10", I have followed everything through and I am up to the "Who are you" section. I have filled out all of my details and at the bottom it says "Ready when you are" I am ready but I cannot click on the "Forward" button as it partially faded out. [00:09] yugnoswam: What is your username? === Guest74444 is now known as greeniekin [00:09] ok done [00:09] Guy [00:09] yugnoswam: Your username cannot contain any capital letters. [00:10] Ok, thank you. [00:10] yugnoswam: You're welcome. [00:10] how do you search for installed systems - in auto mode - with grub? [00:11] Can someone assist me with a sound problem [00:11] :D? [00:11] Private message me plz [00:11] error: cannot execute /jail/glftpd/bin/glftpd: Exec format error. anyone know how to fix? i'm running a ppc64 with ubuntu 64 and that is a 32bit app [00:12] tried to change to OSS or different driver in sound configuration? [00:12] justask are utalkin to me? [00:12] yes [00:12] Im new to all this can u explain what OSS is :P? [00:13] when you do sound config, you can choose between alsa and oss, and also for different drivers [00:13] yugnoswam: Don't worry, it's already a bug for the hundredpapercut's project :) [00:13] tried that? [00:13] ubuntu: OSS is open source software. It's software where the source code is freely distributed [00:13] !sound > ubuntu [00:13] ubuntu, please see my private message [00:13] alsa is not? [00:14] open i mean [00:15] hola [00:15] alguien español [00:15] hi [00:15] !es | dela [00:15] dela: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [00:15] only english here [00:15] justask: OSS can either mean Open Source Software or Open Sound System, depending on the context. [00:15] On ubuntu, is it possible to have say Windows XPSP3 on the desktop where you can just open that in another window and use that as a second operating system? [00:15] justask: ALSA is most certainly open source. [00:15] yea, but alsa is not open? [00:15] ok [00:15] hi [00:15] im having problems with apache.. i installed like this: sudo apt-get install apache2.2 # apachectl restart throws the error: /usr/sbin/apachectl: 148: /usr/sbin/apache2: not found ..... any ideas?? i'm on ubuntu 10.0.4 [00:16] m1chael, type "which apache2" in the terminal what does it say? [00:16] m1chael: is that a new version? [00:16] I'm recently having problems with pulseaudio, especially when I use vmware workstation and/or skype. When I killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio& it works again. This time I got the following Warning: W: alsa-mixer.c: Your kernel driver is broken: it reports a volume range from 0,00 dB to 0,00 dB which makes no sense. [00:16] hey guys. curious question: is it possible to create executable shellscript files from c sources? [00:16] hi im having trouble with ubuntu 10.10 install ive been working with people on the IRC for two days now with no resolution. can anyone take a stab at it for me? [00:17] can anyone help please? :) [00:17] sooo... I have a friend who knows wtf he's doing but objects to using *nix because of gaming. It's been a while since I've messed with gaming stuff for linux. What's the new solution to windblows gaming? [00:17] bugs_bugger, that's called compiling. [00:17] whattodo did you try recovery mode at boot? [00:18] bugs_bugger: well sort of, you can write a program in c (source code) and make it executable. But it would not be called a script [00:18] justask: i can't boot anything from had drive, all i have is a live ce [00:18] cd [00:18] bugs_bugger: You can write executable scripts in other languages like python or bash [00:18] hwilde, nah, what i mean is: i want some kind of portable version, no copying to say /usr/bin but everything needed should be in in one folde [00:18] sha1sum: you mean how I play games on linux? Mostly with steam under wine or native ones, or ports that are being supported by the developers (humble bundle, etc) [00:18] you cant boot, but you see grub menu or not? [00:19] bugs_bugger, yes. [00:19] bugs_bugger: You can do something like that in python [00:19] fr0nk_: I tried that and his mouse has a weird offset... like you have to move your cursor down about 30px to click on what you want [00:19] bugs_bugger: But you would have to be in that folder to run that program [00:19] testing with starcraft II [00:19] anyone here already purged pulseaudio from lucid? pulseaudio simply doesnt work for me :/ [00:19] edbian, well, i dont that much about building apart from using ./configure, make and make install with c sources [00:20] sha1sum: multimonitor setup? [00:20] fr0nk_, i did that once, turned out to be a bad idea. [00:20] fr0nk_, have you done that? [00:20] fr0nk_: yeah... 3x1 [00:20] to everyone: is it normal that a simple file copy from linux disk to ntfs one goes only at 20megs at second? [00:20] fr0nk_: ati card [00:20] edbian, what im aiming at is to have a form of binaries like those of the blender 3d suit, for example [00:20] they are different drives too [00:20] bugs_bugger: What is the ultimate goal / purpose of this question? :) [00:20] bugs_bugger: A 'form [00:20] thieven`: I'm about to do it since pulseaudio has to be restarted approx 20 times a day [00:20] ? [00:20] which apache2 # returns nothing [00:21] justask, i have not noticed that. i doubt that is true.... [00:21] fr0nk_, holy. that is nuts. yeah, go for it. you know you can always reinstall it if you have to... [00:21] i can assure it did it so before [00:21] sha1sum: I've had this problem with nvidia and 2x1, try disabling multimonitor for troubleshooting, you should be fine. If this fixes your problem you'll have to fuck around with xinerama I guess [00:21] !language [00:21] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:21] fr0nk_: hmmm ok thanks [00:21] and i dont see what could be limiting that [00:21] i can try writing a file to my ntfs usb key as a test if you wnat. [00:22] oh sry :D [00:22] yeah but i said hdd to hdd [00:22] usb key is slow [00:22] like 10 megs maximum [00:22] bugs_bugger: what is a 'form [00:22] justask, i have a ntfs partition but it's on the same hd as ubuntu... [00:22] can you give a try? [00:22] justask: depends on the usb thumbnail drive. mine is getting approx 25mb/sec (corsair) [00:22] ok you have a nice one [00:22] error: cannot execute /jail/glftpd/bin/glftpd: Exec format error. anyone know how to fix? i'm running a ppc64 with ubuntu 64 and that is a 32bit bin [00:22] justask: it's writing to the same hd though. [00:23] cheap ones dont get more than 9-10 [00:23] yep [00:23] so mine situation should be waay better [00:23] justask: the one im using in my car gets me like 2-3mb/sec. Its a pain in the... to copy music [00:23] haha [00:23] justask, how can i see the speed of the transfer? [00:23] edbian, they offer their linux versions in an archive that just needs upacking.it contains an executable ready to start. thats what i want to have [00:23] i guess its very first generation [00:23] On ubuntu, is it possible to have say Windows XPSP3 on the desktop where you can just open that in another window and use that as a second operating system? [00:23] I'm using headless Ubuntu server, can anyone tell me if they know a way to run a script if an audio cd is found? [00:23] mmm good question [00:24] no its a super tiny one, approx 2mm bigger than the usb connector plug itself [00:24] in the notification windows you should click something to show up it [00:24] yugnoswam: virtual machine [00:24] edbian, problem is: i dont have sudo rights on the system. its a pool of my high school. [00:24] or you just make the calculation taking the time and megs :-) [00:24] yugnoswam: use, say, virtualbox-ose [00:24] bugs_bugger: You want to write an app that works that way? All executabes can be run from wherever. [00:24] like a very nerd one [00:24] i see the little 'file transfer' window that shows it moving. but it doesn't say the speed. [00:24] xd [00:24] I'm sorry, what do you mean. [00:25] yugnoswam: you will need either (a) an XP install CD, or (b) an image of one [00:25] tell me time and file size pls [00:25] bugs_bugger: You can compile and run software from inside you're home. You just can't install it. In this case installing really just means putting various files in various folders on the system. [00:25] bugs_bugger: It's just that most apps have to be installed to work at all [00:25] if you use 100megs the calc is easier [00:25] ok, I have the iso for windows 7 on my external. is that any use? [00:25] edbian, to which i dont have access to [00:25] but my calculator wont bother :-) [00:25] yep [00:26] yugnoswam: I run win (7, but XP with absolutely no problem) on a "virtual" machine, which is basically software that emulates a full pc === topo is now known as Guest57961 [00:26] try copying it elsewhere [00:26] how big is that? [00:26] ok, so how do I set that up may I ask? [00:26] yugnoswam: yeah... install the "vitualbox-ose" package [00:26] what is the proper way to install apache? [00:26] yugnoswam: then it shows under accessories-->virtualbox ose [00:26] you do a plain copy [00:26] bugs_bugger: Yeah, I understand. I think you can recreate the file tree you need inside you're home. [00:26] i did: sudo apt-get install apache2.2 [00:26] dont understand your question [00:26] bugs_bugger: I've never done it and it's elaborate but you can do it [00:27] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eUSbr-xn_c&feature=player_embedded incredible¡¡¡ [00:27] Hey [00:27] do you have to configure openssh to allow port tunneling or does it work by default? [00:27] Brack101: it allows it by default [00:27] if there space on the external - assuming its ntfs - try from linux to that [00:27] thank you [00:27] q: an explanation when user 'nobody' is supposed to be used and when not? [00:28] yugnoswam: once you create a virtual machine with you can mess around with its hardware settings, and if you go to the settings for the disc drive you can choose an ISO instead of a physical disc, or you can use the physical disc, your choice [00:28] tell me the need in running winxp in virtualbox when running in win7? [00:28] -with [00:28] ok. openssh installs as part of the 'ssh' package right? [00:28] if you give me size and time expected i do the math [00:28] ok cheers [00:28] d3cented: bug testing? [00:28] lol [00:28] ahh ok... [00:29] edbian, in the terminal i get "ELF 32-bit LSB executable". no idea how to build something like that? it uses shared libs [00:29] any italian left here? yes i know about ubuntu-it [00:29] justask: 9.2 MB/ second is what it moved at. [00:29] I'm using headless Ubuntu server, can anyone tell me if they know a way to run a script if an audio cd is found? [00:29] only? [00:29] 25133468 [00:29] that is from ubuntu to a windows partition on the same HD. [00:29] from hdd to hdd? slooow [00:29] justask, yeah, this comuputer at work is old / slow / crappy. [00:29] it cant be so slow [00:29] justask, only one hd inside of it. [00:30] hi all, how do I measure transfer speed to external hard drive?thanks. [00:30] nevermind [00:30] that was a 350MB file. [00:30] should be at least 3-4 times [00:30] faster [00:30] yeah, i agree... [00:30] me with different disk- only 20 megs [00:30] alexb_1, isn't there a popup when you transfer [00:30] it took 42 seconds. for 350 MB [00:30] the target is capable of at least 50 sustained megs/sec, its a wd RE3 [00:31] hwilde, do you happen to know how to build an "ELF 32-bit LSB executable" from source code. Thats what im aiming at: a "portable" executable with all required files and libs either linked or inside one folder [00:31] http://dpaste.com/304762/ [00:31] this is a crappy laptop with no doubt a 5400 rpm hd in it. [00:31] 8.3 for sec :-( [00:31] like a c64 [00:31] hah [00:31] yes, there is , but I guess it's not right way and very approximate [00:31] bugs_bugger, did you check the forum there are threads on this topic [00:32] yeah but you can figure out the average speed [00:32] cheers [00:32] something is messing around...and i will find it :-D [00:32] hwilde, i searched for it via google. what terms do i need to search with? [00:33] justask: good on you [00:33] hwilde, in the forums i mean [00:33] bugs_bugger, i dunno man, try. [00:33] just a mere hope though xd [00:33] hwilde, sorry pal. i just thought you knew there were some threads in specific. thanks anyway [00:34] bugs_bugger, I mean it's probably a longer answer than you're gonna get here in chat, because there are entire threads about it. === eoss_ is now known as eoss [00:35] just for info: the inverse way - ntfs to linux - goes 35 megs'sec average [00:35] hwilde, ok. ill check the material [00:35] which is quite fine indeed [00:36] justask: That's about what I get from firewire external -> internal [00:36] Thanks for all your help people. Good night. [00:36] maybe its the ntfs write that is little bad [00:36] ok [00:36] cant install flash player update to watch youtube [00:37] Hello [00:37] now i feel better :-D [00:37] why pigy1_alt? [00:37] how do I install Genuine Advantage ? [00:38] eviljames: you had a problem before..did you solve? [00:38] went ubunto software center and search adobe flash and dont see it [00:39] apt-cache search flash [00:39] maybe flash is restricted sw? [00:39] or so [00:39] pigy1_alt: run: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer; in a terminal [00:39] was my first thought [00:39] that is restricted? [00:40] it is in multiverse, but that should be enabled by default [00:40] trism: beaten my apt-cache [00:40] haha [00:40] why apt-ache and not only apt-get? [00:41] trism: flash is in the Partner repo which needs to be enabled since 10.04 [00:41] why apt-cache and not only apt-get? [00:41] caus i didn't know exact name [00:41] sha1sum: That sounds like a Windows app [00:41] trism: forget that, I was wrong [00:41] thinking java [00:41] =-O [00:42] apt-cache wins!!! [00:42] lol [00:42] it's flashplugin-installer [00:43] i receive the following error when reloading the synaptic package manager can anybody help please : [02:43] [glaceman(+i)] [2:Ubuntu/#ubuntu(+CLcfjnt)] [Act: 1] [00:43] [#ubuntu] http://paste.ubuntu.com/552649/ [00:43] error: cannot execute /jail/glftpd/bin/glftpd: Exec format error. anyone know how to fix? i'm running a ppc64 with ubuntu 64, glftpd is a 32bit application [00:43] ahmm, anyway [00:43] there isn't anything even alpha that could play flash in linux? other than it obv [00:43] justask: nope.. no solution yet. :D [00:43] rusty149: nahhh... it's the Torvalds Genuine Advantage... it's how you know you're getting *authentic* Linux applications.

[00:47] justak: alsamixer is only accessible through terminal, i was asking if there was an equalizer graphical interface like in all the previous versions [00:47] I upgraded from Jaunty (finally) to Karmic and apt-get went from 2.6.??-server to 2.6.31-generic-pae. Why would it change the suffix on me, away from server?

[00:48] glaceman: lb? what language are you using? [00:48] rusty149: didn't understood what u were asking [00:48] Damnit, apt-get installed acpid? I don't have a battery. This thing is a server, in a server farm. I'm not happy. [00:49] glaceman: paste, sudo cat /etc/apt/sources.list [00:49] LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd: could be alsamixergui [00:49] :-DUh, guys? I hate to be badgering like this, but I would really like a solution... [00:49] im trying to creaste a to boot from a usb 10.10 to use ubuntu on my uni computer, but it always goes back to default seeting,. is there a way of making one which persists with your settings, and keeps your files like a regualr install [00:49] MarkAng: looks like some of the gnome configuration got borked in the upgrade. You can try these older (but still valid) instructions on getting them back: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [00:49] even if it should be built in ubuntu [00:50] rusty149: http://paste.ubuntu.com/552650/ [00:50] Thanks, yeats! I'll try that. [00:50] justask: yes it worked, but one day i was using ubuntu, & I noticed that wallpaper & icons doesn't display, then firefox stopped & i rebooted [00:50] MarkAng: you might backup those dirs before rm -rf-ing them ;-) [00:50] since that can't boot with hd direct conected to laptop [00:50] only with external adapter [00:51] glaceman: Are you using Luxembourgish? [00:51] rusty149: ubuntu 10.10 [00:51] so it should be fine also as internal, maybe is just a detection issue [00:51] tried with all sata ports? [00:51] glaceman: Luxembourgish language or english language? [00:51] english [00:51] justask is an laptop [00:51] aleiex: Sounds like a hardware problem. [00:51] only 1 port [00:51] rusty149: english [00:52] you are right..sorry [00:52] forgot it :-) [00:52] How do you create a full working 10.10 desktop edition on a usb? [00:52] glaceman: lb.archive.ubuntu.com is for Luxembourgish language [00:52] rusty149: i didn't do anything [00:53] Jordan_U Is good idea to use laptop using External HD TO Boot? [00:53] guest101: Same way you would install to an internal drive. [00:53] however when i boot from usb it doesnt keep the configs or the files [00:53] once i restart [00:54] he told its not persistent install [00:54] how do i add space to my home group via lvm? [00:54] guest101: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:55] eviljames: maybe its your field of knowledge - lvm [00:55] aleiex: The only problem is that you have to be very carefull that the external doesn't get disconnected. Whether that's convienient for you and how you use your laptop I don't know. [00:55] guest101, how big is the thumb, and do you have a Ubuntu install or disc? [00:55] NixGeek: That won't create a full install, for instance you can't upgrade the kernel. [00:55] 4gb === CripperZ is now known as CripperZ2 [00:55] aleiex its not nice to see but who cares [00:56] guest101, okay do you have a Ubuntu disc or a install. [00:56] guest101: lvm doesnt have a configuration tool? [00:56] yes [00:56] I mean, no troubles/ hardware failure if i Use forever hd via external? [00:56] aleiex no [00:56] rusty149: any clue ? [00:56] just dont disconnect it while working :-) [00:57] I havent used lvm [00:57] lvm? [00:57] Updating my nvidia graphics driver on Ubuntu Server has meant that my CLI only displays through DVI & not HDMI. How would I fix this?

I need to install linux on a computer that uses an Asus PCI-G31 wifi card (RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g) to connect to an unsecured network. I can connect the computer to ethernet to install the OS, but I need to be able to move the computer to different wifi networks and connect from the desktop. Does anyone know if this should work? [01:52] KM0201: i am the admin : [01:52] :D [01:53] glaceman: then yes.. but you'll probably want to use SSH, etc..t o make sure its secure.. i'm not that familiar w/ SSH [01:53] KM0201: im an IT manager, so for me now, switching for linux, it's like learning the abc again [01:53] glaceman: yeah, if i can make a suggestion... just learn to use the OS, get a feel for things, then when you have a basic unerstanding of everything, start looking into remote desktop, etc [01:54] KM0201: ok [01:54] Gucko: I suggest you grab yourself a cup of your favourite beverage, and go read through the config file... [01:54] glaceman: unfortunately, i'm sure you're really good w/ Windows, but that reallyd oesn't mean squat w/ Linux.. only similarities is you use a mouse and keyboard on both.

I get this error that says "unable to find a medium containing a live file system. I don't have a CD and the Ubuntu wiki doesn't seem to have an answer.

[02:27] edbian [02:27] what are your thoughts on a site I designed for linux you can see it at linuxossolutions.com [02:27] glitchd: I can help you! :) What is the hostname of your computer? [02:27] there's a physical issue with connecting it [02:27] larch [02:27] edbian: lmao [02:27] Scaly: I see. Well then my only suggestion is to see what apt-on-cd will let you do [02:27] are you sure I have to use cd or internet? [02:27] KM0201: ? [02:27] edbian, larch [02:27] edbian: the way you said that, it madem e laugh [02:28] okay so found easily a vanilla debian ATI fglrx archive... any ubuntu-concentric one?

I suspect apt-on-cd will let you use a usb key or anything really [02:28] edbian, ..? [02:28] master7808: :) Lemme look at it === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [02:28] glitchd: the error arises because there is something wrong in the /etc/hosts file [02:28] CSun: I never had trouble with multiple NICs, are they all the same model? [02:29] Please understand this isnt me spamming..but you guys are adamant users. and its my give back.. [02:29] edbian, any clue how to fix it? [02:29] glitchd: can you pastebin that file for me? and through in the output of hostname as well ? [02:29] glitchd: I can surely fix it if I can see the files :) [02:29] edbian, ok gimme a min to get them up then [02:29] obfu yes all the same card [02:29] master7808: give me a link please? [02:30] glitchd: take ur time [02:30] obfu: also, this box ran for 7 years(was Redhat 9) but HDD and PS died in it. [02:30] Sure thanks http://linuxossolutions.com or http://sitesandroid.com [02:30] CSun: have you tried swapping the configs around to have a different physical card be #5? [02:30] CSun: no I don't know why you would have a problem with setup of static on 5 nic, maybe a conflict with network-manager? what method are you using to setup static? /etc/network/interfaces ? [02:30] One is a redirect to the linuxossolutions thank you. I appreciate [02:30] edbian [02:31] Scaly: [02:31] where can i find it for usb? [02:31] sacarlson: not using network mgr. yes to etc/network/interfaces' [02:31] Scaly: find what for usb? [02:31] and how do I install? I'm new to linux [02:31] obfu: yes we have [02:31] im on windows atm [02:31] LAMP [02:31] obfu & sacarlson: thats why we were wondering if there is a "musical chair" effect with only 4 NICs in ubuntu server. [02:31] Scaly: oh yes, apt-on-cd only works on linux. I thought you were on linux on this machine too. [02:32] I want to tail a log, look for some values with a regex, then output the text in the shell using a regex replace. That possible? [02:32] Scaly: Do you still have the Ubuntu install CD? [02:32] yes [02:32] Was the link fine ebian [02:33] Scaly: I believe all the packages are on there. Can you use that? [02:33] CSun: I would like to see the /etc/network/interfaces file, and also is network-manager still running? If so I would try stoping it [02:33] CSun: I imagine that most of the options being set int /etc/network/interfaces are the same aside from IPs, yes? [02:33] alright, what's the terminal command or how can i find it? [02:33] edbian, here is what u asked for, http://pastie.org/1447155 [02:33] glitchd: hang on [02:33] edbian, indeed [02:34] sacarlson & obfu: hang on a sec. :) [02:34] Scaly: you have to add the CD as a repo. If you look at sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list you should see it there at the top commented out. [02:34] www.linuxossolutions.com/ sorry link resent [02:35] glitchd: change the bit that says Linbox to larch [02:35] I can add the repo without the sources list [02:35] there a little add button [02:35] what deb do i put in? [02:35] sacarlson & obfu: pastebin.com/4DSdzs8V [02:35] glitchd: That file tells the system that 127.0.0.1 points back at itself.

[02:36] hello everyone, does apt download the package to a temp directory somewhere prior to installing? [02:36] Scaly: Then just follow the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/add-applications/C/offline.html [02:36] sacarlson & obfu: FYI, the 5th NIC has been removed from that pastebin [02:36] ty [02:36] if so where can i find these files that have been downloaded to my machine? [02:36] jocrawfo: /apt/cache [02:36] edbian, ok i changed it now im gonna try to update again [02:36] thanks [02:36] CSun: well you only setup 4 nic so that's all there will be [02:36] jocrawfo: what for? [02:37] AnggaDj98, I have a computer on work network that i can download a package from [02:37] and transfer to another machine [02:37] glitchd: :) [02:37] jocrawfo: it is located in /var/cache/apt/archives [02:37] the package is the VPN settings [02:37] edbian, that worked, thank you very much [02:37] glitchd: excellent :) [02:37] E: failed to mount the cdrom [02:37] edbian, good work my friend [02:37] sacarlson: yes we took the 5th out to try and get around the problem but now three of the cards aren't working, can you see anything wrong with that config? [02:37] is there a way with apt to just download the file and not install? [02:37] glitchd: my pleasure [02:38] yes [02:38] jocrawfo: yes, hang on... [02:38] thanks [02:38] greek hub [02:38] edbian, until we meet again sir [02:38] sudo apt-get install -d [02:38] jocrawfo: sudo apt-get install -d [02:39] sacarlson: ifconfig says the cards are up and connected but no ping [02:39] Hi all is there a chat were could discuss a website possibly [02:39] i am trying to copy files from a dvd, or just open files on a dvd, and although i can see them i'm being told access is deinied. when i try to look at the permissions it says "the permissions of cdrom could not be determined". how can i fix this? i am logged in as the admin [02:39] master7808: #ubuntu-offtopic maybe? [02:39] CSun: oh ok so let me see sudo route [02:39] ok great thanks [02:39] AnggaDj98, that did not download the package [02:39] jocrawfo: what did you mean? [02:39] to the /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory [02:40] ah [02:40] sacarlson: stand by. [02:40] i would like to get the package from the repo download it to this machine and then scp it to another machine for installation [02:40] you must state the location to save it [02:40] like in a USB drive [02:40] and move it to another machine [02:41] sacarlson: pastebin.com/Af1tvBhx [02:41] CSun: why are the nameservers config'd in interfaces rather than resolv.conf? [02:41] AnggaDj98, you said -d so i did sudo apt-get install -d package-name [02:41] hang on [02:41] obfu: that was done in setup out of the box. [02:42] CSun: I'm not sure but normaly I only see one auto line, it should look like auto eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 lo, it may work both ways just never see it like this [02:42] is there an openoffice(or libreoffice) channel? [02:42] CSun: since it's the last interface dropping out, i would try removing, commenting, or moving the nameservers entry to resolv.conf [02:42] sacarlson: ok ill give that a go. back in a few mins [02:43] obfu: k, ill look into it in a sec [02:43] wow messed up [02:43] my About Ubuntu menu says i am using 11.04 [02:43] .. [02:43] update-manager? [02:44] when I went to System -> About Ubuntu [02:44] maybe you choose to upgrade automatically without asking you permissions [02:44] CSun: your route has 4 defaults is that what you really want? [02:44] You are using Ubuntu 11.04 [02:44] - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012. [02:44] [02:44] nope i didnt [02:45] CSun: seems to me that the last config (eth3 in the case you posted) is not parsing due to that last line [02:45] CSun: normaly you have subnets and one path to wan as the default [02:45] Guys, how can I get the ubuntu install DVD as a repo? [02:45] ah yea set to Normal Releases so I guess it did update to 11.04 whoops [02:45] I can open it but repo says it isn't mounted [02:45] ...

[02:47] how can I install a printer which can receive print command from Internet ? [02:48] sacarlson: this box doesn't have an ip assigned to it. it just offers dhcp services to 5 subnets. [02:48] me [02:48] obfu: CSun: I think obfu: has a good point I don't see any dns on the other nets dns-nameservers 172.28.0.63 [02:48] sudo chmod 777 /tmp [02:48] what's the code name for 10.10? [02:48] !ide | AnggaDj98 [02:48] AnggaDj98, please see my private message [02:48] maveric merrkat [02:48] thanks [02:48] *woops [02:48] edbian, this is my mount command sudo sshfs root@10.1.30.82:/data/zhwang tmp [02:48] sacarlson: we cant get a ping from an outside node. so dns is a secondary concern to us for now :) === radgyrst is now known as sissiwimp [02:49] edbian, even I use sudo chmod 777 tmp [02:49] ls: cannot access tmp: Permission denied [02:49] xxthink: sudo chmod 777 /tmp [02:49] I am in a bit of a bind. I have updated to meerkat, but now I find I need to install postgresq-8.3. What is a good plan, since postgresql-8.3 is not available in meerkat. [02:49] excuse me, does anybody knows how create a bootable pen drive with ubuntu in it? [02:49] CSun: does each subnet have wan access? try take out all but one default route [02:49] xxthink: get the / in there [02:50] I mount it to my local tmp directory [02:50] not the /tmp dirctory === flaco is now known as flacom [02:50] sacarlson: hang on, taking headache pills.. gime a min. :P [02:50] CSun: take your time [02:51] I added lucid sources to my sources.list, along with the meerkat sources, and it still can't find postgresql-8.3 [02:51] I was surprised by that. [02:51] CSun: not to overload you, but my suggestions would look like this: http://pastebin.com/m3bWqy9v [02:51] meh [02:51] edbian, do you have some idea? [02:52] Why does Xubuntu idle at around 15-25% of my CPU : / [02:52] hot to resize a image with imagemagick IF it's larger then some pixels? [02:52] Um_cara_qualquer: from Ubuntu? [02:52] oh, looks like I might have to go back to karmic. [02:52] yes [02:52] xxthink: what is the output of ls -l / | [02:52] xxthink: sorry, sudo ls -l / | grep tmp [02:52] does the ubuntu live cd allow read and write for ntfs partitions? [02:52] mts7_: yes [02:52] i already tried unetbooting and the startup creator... neither worked [02:52] drwxrwxrwt 16 root root 4096 2011-01-11 10:48 tmp [02:53] edbian, because I want to mount it to another directory, not the /tmp directory [02:53] Um_cara_qualquer: Menu > Administartion > Startup Disk Creator, you need Ubuntu iso. [02:53] xxthink: you want to do what? [02:53] I mkdir tmp in my home directory [02:53] obfu: we did remove DNS info from the interfaces file as you suggested earlier [02:53] and I want to mount the remote directory on the server to /home/xxthink/tmp directory [02:53] CSun: I think I might be wrong since each default is on a different nic [02:53] Do you want to mount it on the same machine, xxploit ? [02:53] xxthink: Why are you trying to do that? Just use /tmp ? [02:53] thanks, KM0201 [02:53] Do you want to mount it on the same machine, xxthink ? [02:53] mts7_: np [02:53] shcherbak, i already tried unetbooting and the startup creator... neither worked [02:54] edbian, ok, let me try [02:54] ... [02:54] isnt floodbot flooded the conversation itself? [02:54] Um_cara_qualquer: hm, format usb to ext3, make sure Ubuntu iso is of similar version and check iso itself. What error you got? [02:55] obfu: could he make all the gateways the same on all the nics? [02:55] shcherbak, let me show you the print screen [02:55] one second [02:56] hi all i need some quick help.. im using internet on ubuntu using usb modem and want to share it with my laptop which is win xp i have connected using cross over cable and now it is showing limited or no connectivity.. [02:56] how do I access grub in 10.04 [02:56] during the boot process [02:57] jsn, I want use sshfs to mount the directory on the server to my local PC [02:57] zoke: /boot/grub/menu.lst has a grub timeout, to make it easier to catch [02:58] jsn, I can't access ubuntu I want to go into recovery mode [02:58] happybuntu: i think you need to set bridge, but not certain about cross cable. [02:58] xxthink, is the directory set up in /etc/exports on the server? Did you then restart the nfs service? [02:58] no [02:58] xxthink: well, ok then [02:58] jsn, I use sshfs [02:58] sacarlson: I'm guessing that the NICs are going to different subnets based on what CSun posted, so the rest of the config should stay as is [02:58] zoke: beyond that, 10.04 doesn't use /boot/grub/menu.lst because thats for grub-legacy [02:58] xxthink, oh. It doesn't use any configuration on the server side? [02:58] !grub2 | zoke [02:58] zoke: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [02:59] yes [02:59] shcherbak, http://img200.imageshack.us/i/primeroh.png/ - http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/843/segundoe.png [02:59] jsn, yes [02:59] Thanks, KM0201 [02:59] jsn: sorry, i thought it was zoke that needed help [02:59] CSun: any luck with the DNS removed? [02:59] KM0201, I didn't know /boot/grun/menu.lst was deprecated. [02:59] jsn: yup, gone since... 9.04 i think?.. maybe 9.10 [03:00] jsn: but it was definitely gone in 10.04 [03:00] KM0201, I was thanking you for correcting me. I've been on 9.04 for a while. [03:00] Just updated yesterday. [03:00] jsn: oh ok. [03:00] Is there a way to have a device(USB GPS) always be mapped to /dev/ttyUSB3 (even when ttyUSB0 to ttyUSB2 doesn't exist?) [03:01] My server went from 9.04 to 10.10 in three steps. [03:01] Red- [03:01] Just this evening, after work. [03:01] KM0201: had no luck buddy, tried them all one by one [03:01] Um_cara_qualquer: It is not 64bit or alternative installer? [03:01] glaceman: hmm. [03:02] KM0201: cause usually u have the startup sound, and non of them worked [03:02] Diamondcite: it might be somewhat roundabout, but socat can re-route ttys [03:02] KM0201, can you speak chinese ? [03:02] mzy: no, i told you i couldn't [03:02] hahahahah [03:02] shcherbak, i downloaded the 32 bit version [03:02] KM0201: u know what [03:02] ? [03:03] i have backtrack4 [03:03] KM0201, sorry [03:03] KM0201: and my sound is working on it [03:03] Um_cara_qualquer: md5sum your.iso and check on ubuntu.com, should be the same [03:03] glaceman: hmm.. that is strange [03:03] Diamondcite: http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/ [03:03] obfu: I wonder if that would work.. the reason I'm asking is because the USB 3G modem needs ttyUSB0 to 2 for itself, when a GPS is plugged in first.. for some reason the 3G modem will no longer work unless I reboot. [03:03] glaceman: what was your sound device again?... (output of lspci) [03:03] realtek alc272 [03:04] glaceman: no, the lspci output [03:04] Thanks, everyone. Good night. [03:04] shcherbak, i'm not that kind of expert yet... could you tell me the entire steps with details? [03:04] Diamondcite: ah, i misunderstood the reason, let me see what i can find [03:04] Um_cara_qualquer: other thing would be to unmount usb, or any "ghost" usb. [03:04] KM0201: http://paste.ubuntu.com/552678/ [03:04] i dunno [03:04] shcherbak, oh f***... hang on [03:05] Um_cara_qualquer: md5sum /path/to/your.iso this giver checksum which should be identical to posted on ubuntu.com === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK [03:06] Where are md5 on ubuntu.com? [03:06] obfu: CSun: it apears if you ping anything outside the mask of all your nets it will try eth1 to get to wan but maybe this net never needs to go outside? [03:07] !md5 [03:07] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [03:08] shcherbak, almost there, 1 min [03:08] Um_cara_qualquer: Compare result with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [03:08] hey guys. i'm trying to connect via ssh to someone's computer over the internet. is that possible? when i try to do it to another computer within my house, i get the same ip address as my own due to my router [03:09] Diamondcite: it looks like what you want are udev rules, i don't know much about them, but it seems that http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html should help [03:09] M4rotku: Yes it's possible, but make sure the port is open on the target end. [03:09] have a rootstock question can someone help me [03:09] shcherbak, it matches with this one: ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso [03:09] obfu: Thank you, I'll look into it. [03:09] M4rotku: yes, you can connect to ssh server anywhere. [03:10] how do i unbind gtk+ menuitems pacifically s [03:10] Um_cara_qualquer: so, let try to check your usb. [03:10] shcherbak, k [03:11] M4rotku: Here is the thing. You're computers in your house have internal IP addresses. They are only valid on the inside of the router. To the outside Internet the router get's another IP address. This IP is the one used by all the computers in the house. The router translates back and forth for you [03:11] M4rotku: if you google your IP address you'll see the public one, the one that the internet sees as belonging to the router [03:12] M4rotku: you can setup multiple ssh servers on one router, whey need, however run on different ports, and your router need forwoard it. [03:12] shcherbak, how do i set up for my router to forward it? === GodKiller is now known as Huang [03:12] M4rotku: you need to ssh to that address when you're sshing across the internet. Then you tell the router that when SSH packets come in, forward them to a specific address, that is, the address of the computer you're REALLY trying to get to [03:13] M4rotku: put the routers IP address in a web browser address bar on a computer inside the network [03:13] edbian, how on earth do i go about doing that? [03:13] M4rotku: log in to router, and find application sharing, or dzm (not recommended) [03:13] M4rotku: it's called forwarding :) [03:13] port forwading [03:14] edbian, i think i'm at the right page for my router, does 192.168.0.1 sound right? [03:14] M4rotku: yes it does [03:14] edbian, i've never seen anything in here re forwarding. can all routers do it? [03:14] M4rotku: it is written on the back of your router. [03:14] M4rotku: yes, it's probably called applications or something [03:14] shcherbak: what? [03:15] shcherbak, should i be doing something now? [03:15] is the router the same thing as the modem? cause i'm at the modem's page atm [03:15] edbian: Router address, and login info. [03:15] M4rotku: router and modem are not the same, do you have a router or just a modem? [03:15] shcherbak, i'm not in hurry man, when you are free to help, i'm here [03:15] Um_cara_qualquer: right, can you unmount usb? [03:16] M4rotku try this in your web browser: http://192.168.0.1 [03:16] sure [03:16] shcherbak, what's next [03:16] Um_cara_qualquer: and lsusb to see that it is not connected, and df -h or fdisk -l to see if system see any usb drive. [03:16] 192.168.0.1 is the default browser page of most home routers. [03:17] edbian, i have a modem and a wireless router [03:17] but the router doesn't have an ip on the back [03:17] M4rotku: I suspect you're in the router. What brand is the router? What brand is the page you're viewing? [03:17] Curly_Q many routers have small intenal ip differences. mine is: 192.168.1.1. it may work. [03:18] DaGeek247 true, but in most cases 0.1 is the default. Most IP provided routers is 0.100 [03:18] the page i'm viewing is sbc, the router is belkin [03:18] M4rotku: then you're in the wrong place! :P [03:18] darn [03:18] CISCo routers is a totally different story. [03:18] no wonder i can never do anything from here [03:19] M4rotku: What is your computer's IP address? [03:19] M4rotku: nast -i eth0 -m will show you whole lan [03:19] shcherbak, lsusb sees the pen drive... df -h doesn't [03:19] Um_cara_qualquer: fdisk -l? [03:19] M4rotku: better yet, what is the output of sudo route [03:19] how do i unbind gtk+ menuitems pacifically s [03:19] ?? [03:19] ifconfig [03:20] when I try to mount my windows shares it says "bad group name" referring to fstab... what is the group name supposed to be? [03:20] Edbian, there is a website to check that. You might want to check it out it is: http://www.ipchicken.com [03:20] shcherbak, other way to check it i think is to press the locations menu... my pen drive isn't mount but i can see it [03:20] ubuntu 10.04 laptop...is there a way to configure my wireless from starting? i already checked my bios and i can't prevent it from starting there. [03:20] here's my fstab: http://paste.debian.net/104268 [03:20] hang on [03:20] Curly_Q: thanks but I'm not the one with the problem :) [03:20] Lol :) [03:20] I know. [03:21] shcherbak, fdisk -l also sees it [03:21] http://pastebin.com/nWdmVctk [03:21] gnumerous: finally! someone that wants to turn wireless OFF!:) [03:21] A simple ifconfig -a will help there. [03:21] M4rotku: go to 192.168.2.1 [03:21] M4rotku: See that is the default gateway? [03:21] Um_cara_qualquer: can you post me fdisk -l? [03:22] that should be the IP of the router [03:22] edbian, ok, this looks better, it's a belkin page [03:22] M4rotku: do you see forwarding or applications or something? [03:22] How do I find gid and uid for fstab entry? [03:23] justask: you still here [03:23] edbian: M4rotku: in my router its under NAT! [03:23] Just Google the router and find the IP address or the Default Gateway and then once you http://192.168.0.? then use the default User admin and password admin [03:24] Danny78: If you're mounting a file system that doesn't have user permissions (like old ntfs and such) then every file will inherit the permissions of the folder the whole thing is mounted in [03:24] how can i permenantly add a directory to $PATH ? [03:24] Danny78: otherwise you can set the GUI or UID in /etc/fstab, look at man mount for the options [03:24] gnumerous: System > Preferences > Network Connections. Select connection > Edit... , uncheck connect automatically [03:24] does anyone know why Ubuntu is showing certain colors to be pinkish-purplish? they weren't supposed to be that way. [03:24] Danny78: Furthermore, if the filesystem you're mounting has file permissions then they should be presisted or whatever [03:25] em: edit ~/.profile [03:25] bonjoyee: i looked in there but there is nothing that just says PATH= [03:25] should i just add a line like that? [03:25] edbian, would it be the wireless bridge stuff? === hrhrhr_ is now known as hrhrhr [03:25] M4rotku: I don't think so? [03:25] PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/racket/bin ? [03:25] edbian: permissions are for a specific user account I'm using to log in [03:26] mbvpixies78: permissions are applied to files. The users on the system see the same permissions on files. That is the whole point [03:26] edbian, ok, i didn't think so either, but i have no idea what else it would be [03:27] M4rotku: http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/60/~/configuring-port-forwarding [03:27] How do I reload bash to account for the changes? [03:27] M4rotku: It's a belkin right? [03:27] Try, virtual servers [03:27] Now you'll need to know the IP address of the computer you're trying to ssh to remotely [03:27] edbian, yes. i might try posting a screenshot for you [03:27] M4rotku: sure, post away my friend! [03:28] edbian: I set permissions by selecting a user and setting what he/she can't do to a certain set of files [03:28] M4rotku: Try, virtual servers [03:28] mbvpixies78: Are these linux permissions or something else? [03:28] rusty149, that looks like it might be it [03:29] edbian: I was referring to the windows shares I'm trying to mount at boot up [03:29] mbvpixies78: I have no idea how windows file permissions work. :) sorry! :/ [03:29] edbian: but also the uid and gid in fstab for mounting those shares at bootup [03:29] M4rotku: You should see a table with inbound port and private port [03:29] mbvpixies78: for that just look up the options in man mount [03:30] M4rotku: ssh is port 22 btw [03:30] rusty149, yep, i'm testing it right now [03:30] rusty149: I made some changes, thanks for the suggestion [03:30] Question: Is anyone familiar with a good hard drive defrag tool for linux that optimizes data execution across multiple format partitions, Particularly for AHCI controllers? [03:30] what is the difference between TCP and UDP? i have to choose between them [03:31] M4rotku: Add 2 entries for both [03:31] M4rotku: use TCP or use both [03:31] M4rotku: Both if you have option [03:31] M4rotku: To understand the difference take a networking class in college === eXXe is now known as Sosby [03:31] edbian, ugg, i like computers, but i'm majoring in law and spanish [03:32] "The following packages have been kept back" how do I update the stuff held back? [03:32] edbian: I'm looking at man mount and it's just not straight-forward enough for someone who doesn't only need it as a reminder of what one already knows... [03:32] thanks [03:32] Other question: I have 2 drives 1 SATA and 1 IDE, to maximize my low ram, i want to move my paging to a seperate drive, but this means i will have to run the OS or the paging on a slower drive. Should i install the OS on the slower drive and make better use of the paging on the faster, or would it be best to have both on the faster if im looking to increase post execution performance in gaming? [03:32] mbvpixies78: check this, much clearer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [03:33] mbvpixies78: Are you asking the uid for files that are mounted? [03:33] rusty149: he is [03:33] typically UDP is used for audio/video/telephony because its faster, the downside is it does not guarantee packet transfer [03:33] so with UDP you will lose packets [03:33] eoss: basically, yes [03:34] mbvpixies78: There is an option in fstab entry to determine what you want it to be. [03:34] if i wanted to install ubuntu to a dell vostro 1000 laptop, is there somewhere i might check for hardware compatiblity issues i might have? [03:34] edbian, rusty149, ok, i added one for both options and it's still refusing the connection [03:34] ddilinger: make the live CD and run it. See how it works. That's better than some list === prowler is now known as prowlah [03:35] !netsplit [03:35] 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 [03:35] M4rotku: what did you put as the IP addresS? How are you testing it? [03:35] rusty149: I need to set uid and gid in fstab for my two win7 shares [03:35] edbian: no CD drives, or USB sticks. To install i was going to tftp boot it, but thats prob alot of work if its not going to work [03:35] ddilinger: make the live CD and run it. See how it works. That's better than some list [03:35] i put my global ip adress and i'm testing it from my laptop trying to access my server [03:35] mbvpixies78: post your fstab file in a paste.ubuntu.com [03:35] ddilinger: oh man, IDK where you can find a list like that [03:36] edbian, using the same username@ip format [03:36] edbian: its ok, thanks for the poiters, i might just go straight for the install [03:36] ddilinger: have you considred unetbootin (assuming there's an OS in place) ? [03:36] M4rotku: what Ip address? === kthomas is now known as 13WAAZZ3D [03:36] frutto: i hadn't, i'll look into that [03:36] ddilinger: i know you can pxe boot to do an install [03:36] another question in relevance to Ubuntu alone, Is there a program that would allow me to pause filesystem activies (such as copying very large files) mid transfer, or allows me to queue transfers, for it seems as now to be rather unintelligent in attempting to complete both tasks simultanously causing trashes between two distant sectors and slowing transfer overall [03:36] M4rotku: 68.73.98.190 [03:37] edbian, the one that the showmyip site game me, i checked several sites and they all told me the same [03:37] edbian, yes, that one [03:37] M4rotku: It worked for me a second ago :) [03:37] The_Explorer: Use sftp [03:37] lol [03:37] edbian, haha [03:37] maco: i think the tftp stuff i was thinking of is the same as PXE, i've done it once before for a netbook and still have the directory structure in place, i'm praying i just turn it on and it works :) === 13WAAZZ3D is now known as kthomas_vh_ [03:38] helloooo [03:38] rusty149: fstab: http://paste.debian.net/104269 [03:38] M4rotku: so it works, good job :) [03:38] hi, what bluetooth related application has an icon of a blue piramid with circular waves been emitted from its tip? [03:38] I use Ubuntu 10.04 on my compaq presario C300 (yeah, it's, old... :/ ). While using it, a popup appeared saying there were many updates for my ubuntu install. So I updated.. and then I was asked to restart, which I did. Now the problem: I initially get a screen of the OS's installed on this system. I would first select (1) "Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition", then choose (2) "Ubuntu" and then choose (3) "Ubuntu + [some stuff abou [03:38] edbian, it doesn't work though === richard is now known as Guest8390 [03:38] M4rotku: I assure you, it does [03:38] So I can't use Ubuntu anymore! [03:38] M4rotku: the port forwarding does anyway... [03:38] The windows OS works fine though.... I have no idea what's going on... [03:39] edbian, how do you know, did you ping me or something? [03:39] Is there a way to undo those blasted updates? [03:39] sftp is a more intelligent local drive protical [03:39] ?? [03:39] daze21_: your message got cut off after ""Ubuntu + [some" [03:39] ohh [03:39] M4rotku: I tried to log into your server. I didn't put in a user or password but I gave the command and it asks me for both. It is def getting to a computer [03:39] daze21_: but it looks like you'll have to fix something in grub via livecd [03:39] (3) "Ubuntu + [some stuff about the kernel]".. but after I click (2), I go right back to the first screen [03:39] was a question, forgot punctuation [03:40] frutto: I got ubuntu via some download online... I dn't have a cd... [03:40] *don't [03:40] edbian, hmm, interesting. i'll try it without sending the username to begin with [03:40] M4rotku: sure [03:40] daze21: you used wubi? [03:40] M4rotku: your ssh is up and running [03:40] KM0201: yeah I think so [03:40] ssh 68.73.98.190 works [03:40] what would be the best ISO to feed into unetbootin? i need to download it seperatly so i can use a parallel downloader(comcast fsck's with my inet, 100kB/s downloads with 1 connection, 2mB/s with 40) [03:40] edbian, it's still refusing my connection [03:40] mbvpixies78: I didn't know it was a smb. you do not need uid and gid there [03:41] mbvpixies78: Can you access it? [03:41] is there a way to revert the way ubuntu installs software? the ubuntu software center takes forever it seems like [03:41] daze21: honestly, since you're able to boot Windows, i would immediately uninstall wubi... usually "upgrading" wubi, will wreck things(thats been my experience) [03:41] M4rotku: can't you even get into your own server! haah what is it saying? [03:41] edbian, http://pastebin.com/iwMKdVA8 [03:41] KM0201: whoa okay. how would I do that? [03:41] see [03:41] rusty149: yes, I can access it, so uid and gid are just for linux shares? [03:41] wubi messes with grub, ubuntu updates mess with grub ... [03:41] edbian, i'm logged into the server via other means, so i'm still here [03:41] daze21_: control panel would be my guess. [03:42] frutto: wow didn't know that! thanks... so basically DON'T UPDATE... :/ [03:42] ddilinger: ultimately the same one you'd use to install it "for real" [03:42] M4rotku: I think maybe you're router is blocking you on the way out... [03:42] KM0201: control panel after booting up my computer in Windows? [03:42] M4rotku: I just connected to your ssh. What IP are you using? [03:42] shcherbak: look at his pastebin [03:42] daze21_: or rather don't use wubi for extended periods of time (i.e. not for testing) [03:42] mbvpixies78: There are for certain local filesystems like ntfs. Of coarse, samba has uid's but there are determined by the server [03:42] edbian, that could be it [03:42] hey im having problems with NVIDIA and Ubuntu 10.10. How can I specify the grub startup commands? I am not presented with grub with this install during startup [03:43] M4rotku: I'm afraid I can't help you with that. I don't have a belkin router. I can assure you your port forwarding and ssh server is working === WindPower_ is now known as WindPower === daze21_ is now known as daze21 [03:43] edbian, well, i guess there is no reason why i would have to access it from my house anyways [03:43] M4rotku: You could just use the internal IP address :) [03:44] can I poll the notification area for the shown icons? [03:44] edbian, yes, that's what i'll do, but the whole point of this is to help me walk a complete noob through allowing me to access his computer, which will be running sysresccd, so that i can scan his computer for viruses [03:44] Ubuntu Jaunty. I have Keyboard shortcut options for desktop 1 and desktop 2 (I actually have 8 virtual desktops). Why are the other desktops missing form the keyboard shortcut menu? How can I set these hot keys? [03:45] mbvpixies78: Can you repeat the question please? :) [03:45] M4rotku, your router is setup to dhcp [03:45] okay... so I shouldn't use wubi? [03:45] M4rotku: who's the noob? [03:45] edbian, i mean more of one than myself. trust me, this guy thinks i'm a computer genius. he's never used linux [03:45] zvrk, yes [03:45] M4rotku: hahaha, I didn't mean to call you a noob. I couldn't resist [03:45] !noob [03:45] Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. [03:46] well, if the only issue with wubi is that it messes with updates, why don't I just NOT update so I don't face this problem again? [03:46] lol [03:46] 地方 [03:46] rusty149: when I try to mount my windows shares using fstab, they won't mount, even though I can mount them manually through "Places" [03:46] edbian, don't worry. i'm not offended after having to be walked through accessing my own router [03:46] M4rotku, your internet connection are? [03:46] M4rotku: It might change the address of the ssh server eventually then the forwarding you set up won't be right anymore [03:46] daze21_: that's a bit beyond the scope of your real question at hand (i.e. how to get everything back), but not doing updates is not being secure :) [03:46] M4rotku: http://img840.imageshack.us/i/screenshotglt.png/ bottom right, tell me in private. [03:46] rusty149: iow, I'd like Ubuntu server to mount windows shares on startup [03:46] whats voice recognition would anyone recommend for ubuntu 10.10 amd64? [03:46] mbvpixies78: have you installed smbfs? [03:47] frutto: well, so here's my situation: i want to get Ubuntu working on this laptop, as old as this laptop may be. I really want to do some Rails development on Ubuntu. What do you recommend? [03:47] bonjoyee: yes [03:47] M4rotku, like adsl cable or dial up [03:47] If wubi is unstable.... :/ [03:47] mbvpixies78: then what is the error? [03:47] mount error(111): Connection refused [03:47] Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page [03:48] bonjoyee: but as I say, I can mount and browse in the GUI [03:48] mbvpixies78: OK, lets start again. First don't put you password in there for all to see. [03:48] I have a Tyan thunder 2500 64-bit system. with 8gb ram and 933 mhz processor. What is the best version of ubuntu to put on something like this? [03:49] mbvpixies78: did you try "sudo mount -t smbfs //ipaddr/share /mnt/mountpoint"? [03:49] rusty149: that's not my password [03:49] rusty149: I changed it so the world wouldn't see [03:49] mbvpixies78: Create a credentials file. sudo nano ~/.smbcredentials [03:49] processor is dual core Pentium 3. yes I understand it blows :) [03:49] M4rotku, or you setting up local network [03:49] zvrk, i'm not setting up a network [03:49] ARRRRRGGH I am finding that my 10.10 desktop locks up every couple hours and I have to press CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE and restart X as a result.... the desktop is useable in the sense that the mouse moves and ALT-TAB works between apps, but no windows can be dragged, and focus between windows does not change at all when you click on a window. There's nothing wrong with my mouse. Maybe it is some nvidia graphics issue, I've no idea [03:50] -shrugs- any recommendations about what to do? I just got the wireless driver working... man I shouldn't have updated... I really just wanted to try this outtt .... :( [03:50] mbvpixies78: It can be read by other local users [03:50] is wubi really a bad installer>? [03:50] M4rotku: if i can connect and you not, means that you did something wrong. [03:50] I will go with server edition or w/e but my concern is the cpu being so small. and the os [03:50] rusty149: ok, I get what you're saying now-- I wondered about that but figured I'd get it working first *shrugs* [03:50] Okay. This one isn't REALLY an Ubuntu question, but Ubuntu is involved and I'm not sure where else to ask... Right now I'm typing on a Windows laptop. To my right is a computer with Ubuntu desktop 64-bit freshly-installed. [03:50] M4rotku, what you try to do/ [03:50] definatly an old laptop ... the last entry in the browser history is feb 2009 [03:51] rusty149: I have an empty file open for writing [03:51] The Windows laptop gets an IP address from the DHCP server just fine. The Ubuntu machine does not. [03:51] Can anyone help me with my wireless connection? [03:51] mbvpixies78: 2 lines [03:51] M4rotku: i can "see" your ssh service and connect as well! [03:51] shcherbak, if you look back in the convo, i think we already identified the problem [03:51] Both machines are connected to the same switch. The LEDs on the switch indicate that the Ubuntu machine is physically connected. [03:51] Blueleaf1: well seeing as I just struggled with mine and FINALLY got it working... maybe... [03:51] mbvpixies78: username=[smb username] [03:51] Swapping cables on the Ubuntu box hasn't helped [03:51] Anyone got any ideas for diagnosis? [03:51] so i upgraded my ubuntu to 10.10, and now my dock bar is not showing up..i use gnomeDo i don't know how to retrieve it [03:51] mbvpixies78: password=[smb password] [03:51] daze21_: updates breaking wubi is not unheardof, what with its odd way of installing inside an image inside windows and then convincing the bootloader to load it from an image (normally its from an actual partition) [03:52] daze21 i haven't used a nix system in 10 years, recently decided to come back from the dark side. [03:52] maco: so... what should I do? I just wanted to work on Ubuntu for some Rails development up till the time I get a new laptop (a few months down the line) [03:52] and now that it stopped working due to those blasted updates.... [03:52] M4rotku: thats good [03:52] daze21_: id do a real dual-boot [03:53] my wireless works fine with windows but i can get it to work with ubuntu === taka is now known as Guest47838 [03:53] rusty149: ok, so does this get encrypted somehow? [03:53] DW_Upstairs: run sudo dhclient in terminal [03:53] maco: any links about that? === Guest8390 is now known as richardr [03:53] Blueleaf1: yeah I had that issue... what's your exact system name? [03:53] You probably need the drivers or something. [03:53] mbvpixies78: no, sudo chmod 600 ~/.smbcredentials [03:53] system name? [03:54] bonjoyee: Endless series of "DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval X", with X increasing with each subsequent attempt [03:54] like, mine's compaq presario c300... look on it.. it must be written somewhere... [03:54] daze21_: it just means having multiple OSes installed on the disk. normally this means partitioning the disk (making different sections for each OS), which wubi attempts to avoid. the installer offers it in the guided partitioning [03:54] i have a toshiba harman/kardon laptop [03:54] DW_Upstairs: something is wrong with the DHCP server [03:54] but the laptop I'm on seems to be getting an IP from DHCP just fine [03:54] I have it set up to dual boot [03:54] what is APT ? [03:54] DW_Upstairs, try plugging the computer directly to the router instead of the switch and than plugging it back into the switch after it has obtained an IP? [03:54] DW_Upstairs: hope you can ping the router? [03:54] i mean what is it used for ? [03:55] Northwoods: apt is a package manager [03:55] Northwoods: Advanced Package Tool [03:55] edbian: used for ? [03:55] meway: Not really an option. The machines are in different rooms. [03:55] rusty149: so what should I remove from fstab? uid, guid, user and pass and leave the rest? [03:55] Northwoods: apt-get is used to install packages (software from repos) [03:55] DW_Upstairs, move it [03:55] Northwoods: its like the app store for phones, except the software is free and its been out for years and years [03:55] The router is downstairs in the front room; Right now I'm upstairs in the back room [03:55] DW_Upstairs, and than move it back [03:55] Northwoods: it is used manage software packages. install, remove, upgrade [03:55] *to [03:55] blueleaf1: well I found this site http://www.linlap.com/wiki/hp-compaq+presario+c300 which explained how to resolve my issue. search around there for your system, and see if it needs certain wireless drivers or something. [03:55] Did I mention the Ubuntu system involved is a desktop and has no battery? [03:55] CrazyH: thanks [03:56] DW_Upstairs: Your nick is very literal [03:56] Yup [03:56] DW_Upstairs, trust me it will turn back on [03:56] so i upgraded my ubuntu to 10.10, and now my dock bar is not showing up..i use gnomeDo i don't know how to retrieve it [03:56] :p [03:56] CrazyH: there are 2 types of pacakages , binary and soruce files , what is difference ? [03:56] will do. thanks. [03:56] I can log in to the web interface of the DHCP server (actually a wireless router) from this laptop. === Therstrium_ is now known as Therstrium [03:57] Northwoods: binaries are compiled source files [03:57] This laptop has no Wifi btw, it's connected to the same switch as the Ubuntu machine with CAT5 [03:57] DW_Upstairs, from the ubuntu fresh installed? [03:57] Northwoods: source have the actual code. they get turned into binary packages which then have installable files [03:57] Northwoods: You can run a binary, you can view a source file (it is code after all) [03:57] meway: Yeah. It wouldn't even get an IP during the installation process [03:57] Banshee 1.8.0 requests: "Please move your music to /home//Musik". My music collection is on an external USB hard drive. How can I comply in order to be able to use Banshee? [03:57] so... do most people use Ubuntu as... what? their main linux distribution? not in conjunction with windows and all this stuff? [03:57] DW_Upstairs: it's a bad cable? [03:57] DW_Upstairs, does the windows machine give you an issue with two machines getting the same IP? [03:57] need help with my bluetooth, file is stuck receiving at 29% [03:57] and I see a blue pyramid that appears to have crashed [03:58] bullgard4: rmdir ~/Musik && ln -s /mnt/external/drive/music /home/user/Musik [03:58] bonjoyee: sorry, I missed your suggestion, let me see what happens [03:58] edbian: I've tried about three cables, none of them work [03:58] Northwoods: yeah... binaries are source code that was compiled for your specific platform. source files are source code that you can compile yourself, or modify if you want to [03:58] daze21_: I think most people use Ubuntu all alone. Many also use it dual boot with windows [03:58] so basically APT can be used to install both source and binray files ? [03:58] meway: Not sure what you're asking. [03:58] Northwoods: yes [03:58] Northwoods: no. you cant install source files [03:58] Northwoods: yeah. Sometimes you'll use it to get source code that you need to compile something [03:58] mbvpixies78: //gaia.seventhring.tzo.net/D /mnt/gaia/music cifs credentials=/home/[user name]/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0 [03:58] DW_Upstairs, unplug your switch take out the input and stick it in the machine. obtain an IP. Plug the switch back in. Than plug the internet back into the switch [03:58] edbian: so probably not from this wubi installer? I mean, if this installer can bring such major issues as the inability to upgrade.... why use it? should I just wait to get a linux laptop? [03:59] Northwoods: most of the time you'll just use it to install binaries + all of their dependencies [03:59] mbvpixies78: replace [user name] with your username [03:59] maco: I will try. [03:59] meway: Worth a shot I suppose. Gonna lose connection while I do that, of course. [03:59] daze21_: most people who use ubuntu & windows on the same machine probably still partition it [03:59] CrazyH: Thankyou got it [03:59] DW_Upstairs, its ok you know where to finds us :) [03:59] Thankyou all ! [03:59] daze21_: Just install Ubuntu proper on the laptop you have. Wubi is the easiest way to install. I don't think though that a normal install is hard [03:59] Okay. Hmm.. how much memory does it cost to partition, maco? [03:59] daze21_: thats the tried-and-true method for having more than one OS thats been in use for at least a decade. wubi's only been around for like...3 years or so [03:59] Northwoods: yep :) [03:59] daze21_: no memory [04:00] daze21_: you decide how much disk space goes to each OS [04:00] daze21_: You can tell the partition to be as big or as small as you want. [04:00] how much cpu does ubuntu server edition take? [04:00] one more question sorry , to check installed lamp things , like php apache , can i use APT , someone told me apt-cache policy php , what is policy for and how can i use APT to view existing installed pacakages ? [04:01] meway: about 2 Gb of HDD space [04:01] so, should I partition or should I just use the wubi installer? I mean, I think I'd like to use wubi and just be careful not to upgrade at all. You did say it was the easiest way to install... this, plus the fact that I'll probably use it just to code for a few months in Rails... then later I'll get a linux laptop... [04:01] How does that sound? Or do you strongly recommend partitioning? [04:01] edbian, cpu [04:01] Northwoods: apt-get show will show you stuff about it. [04:01] hello everybody [04:01] meway: It depend on what the server is doing. The OS idling is obviously very very light on CPU usage [04:02] edbian, it only has 933 mhz [04:02] suggestions? [04:02] daze21_: i dont think theres much difference in ease between the two. main difference i remember is that you have to burn a cd to do a normal install [04:02] meway: That's enough :) server has no graphics so you won't even notice [04:02] maco: normal install... you mean partition or no? [04:02] Northwoods: sorry, aptitude show [04:03] daze21_: doesnt matter... a non-wubi install requires you to burn a cd [04:03] Northwoods: aptitude is another package manager tool, very similar to apt, it does slightly more (like the show command) [04:03] edbian, how do I make a disk from ubuntu I only made it from windows. [04:03] daze21_: look here http://sazeit.com/articles/sites/default/files/images/install-step4bsm.png [04:04] daze21_:I think you would have less problems with a partition install, myself [04:04] daze21_: see how they selected "install them side by side" and then below that its got a slider to set how much of the disk goes to each OS? [04:04] meway: use brasero or gnome-baker [04:04] uh-huh... [04:04] meway: Whatever the cd burner that is installed by default is can burn ISOs. Just make sure you choose burn disk image or burn ISO [04:05] edbian, o.o I have not used ubuntu that long so don't mind me if I get lost ^_^ [04:05] daze21_: thats one step...others are user/password choosing, timezone setting, language setting, picking keyboard layout... [04:05] meway: no worries :) [04:05] rusty149: so a partition install is better for the long-run, apparently. Does wubi have many other issues - other than the updating one? [04:05] edbian: i did aptitude show php === mago_ is now known as DirtySanchez [04:05] Northwoods: uh-huh [04:05] its a dvd burner so I'm sure I won't have any issues there [04:06] Northwoods: aptitude show php5 [04:06] meway: :) [04:06] * meway has to wait 20m for it to download [04:06] daze21_: not sure, look at the list of bugs online [04:06] thanks [04:06] Northwoods: sure [04:06] has anyone else had problems with HP laptops and playing 3D games? whenever I play them my audio levels seem to go up and down [04:06] hey how can make ubuntu to log in without asking for a password? [04:06] Chilaquiles: System -> Admin -> Login -> auto Login [04:07] like log in automatically without asking for password [04:07] quite the dilemma.... [04:07] ok let me check that up [04:07] Chilaquiles: that was from memory (not that I'm bragging) [04:07] rusty149: your method didn't work [04:07] edbian, I found the instructions on the site so I hope I get it right XD [04:07] DBoyz: sorry, what method? [04:08] meway: I'm here if you have more questions [04:08] k [04:08] I get the sudden, horrible feeling I know what the problem was, and it's stupid. On my part. [04:08] edbian: autologin? or log in as **** automatically? [04:08] I assume is the same lol [04:08] Chilaquiles: I stand corrected :) [04:08] (DW_Upstairs again, shoulda disconnected from IRC before I started unplugging cables) [04:08] rusty149: using try unlisted linux iso (new syslinux) on pendrivelinux === DW_VirginMediaSu is now known as DW_Upstairs [04:09] DBoyz: Did you see the alternate install screen? [04:09] DW_Upstairs, so did you fix it? [04:10] rusty149: NO only a blinking underscore [04:10] meway: SOmewhat: I tried a DIFFERENT switch. And it's working. [04:10] is there a way to copy a line from terminal window with keyboard , without using mouse ? [04:10] hey how can I view the desktop in a 3d cube? [04:10] Northwoods: ctrl+shift+c I believe [04:10] thankyou [04:10] Northwoods: using shift to highlight it of course [04:11] DW_Upstairs, I only have one switch so if its not working I'm in trouble :) [04:11] DBoyz: Did you see the Ubuntu logo and some options below? [04:11] edbian: shift isnt' working [04:11] it prints some strange char on terminal window [04:11] rusty149: not at all [04:11] Northwoods: I was afraid of that. I don't remember [04:11] I'm trying to change the default page on my apache server to be something else instead of index.html, what config file is that in and where is it located? [04:11] Northwoods: is this on a CLI server or something? Where are you trying to paste it? [04:11] It's official. I'm a fucktard. [04:11] hey how can I view the desktop in a 3d cube? [04:12] Chilaquiles: sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm [04:12] Chilaquiles: You use that app to turn the cube on and off :) [04:12] i'm trying to copy it from terminal window , so that i can paste on kvirc [04:12] DW_Upstairs: I hope not! [04:12] The first switch I was using wasn't technically a switch; It was a wireless router set up to act as an access point. [04:12] Northwoods: Why not use the mouse? [04:12] edbian is that true that I can use compiz to do that? [04:12] daze21_: Are you sure you have set the BIOS to boot the USB stick? [04:12] Chilaquiles: yes [04:12] edbian :) [04:12] ok [04:12] Chilaquiles: I'm doing it right now [04:12] However, the MAC address list is still used to filter clients connected to the RJ45 ports [04:12] Northwoods: :) [04:12] rusty149: I have no idea. [04:12] rusty149: I rebooted and they didn't mount... I need to try to mount manually command line to see what works [04:12] This laptop is on that router's access list [04:12] The Ubuntu machine was not [04:13] Now it is, and all is well. [04:13] daze21_:sorry wrong person [04:13] So: I'm a fucktard. [04:13] ok , so what keys do I need to press to do that? [04:13] edbian? [04:13] Chilaquiles: did you install the app? and turn on the cube? [04:13] Can anyone tell me how to change the default page in apache2? I want it to be something different than index.html [04:13] yes I did edbian [04:13] k trying to get uuid of my thumbdrive and neither method found on this page is working: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=349376 [04:13] Chilaquiles: ctrl + alt + left, ctrl + alt + right [04:13] Are you sure you have set the BIOS to boot the USB stick?DBoyz: [04:13] oh that is dumb I forgot sudo [04:13] nvm [04:13] Chilaquiles: or put the mouse on the desktop and scroll [04:14] YES [04:14] Chilaquiles: or ctrl + alt + click the left mouse button (and hold it) and move the mouse around [04:14] DW_Upstairs, well in that case I was just trying to make you feel better I have 3 routers and 1 switch :p [04:14] is anyone here running ubuntu on an HP notebook with an i3 processor and integrated graphics? [04:14] 1 private network :) [04:14] Sorta matched you... I've got two routers and two switches [04:14] DBoyz: Haave you checked the md5sum? [04:14] ok how do I use the uuid to find the mount point of the drive? [04:15] Can anyone tell me how to change the default page in apache2? I want it to be something different than index.html [04:15] hang on [04:15] DW_Upstairs, all wireless (not switch) [04:15] hey edbian but I have seen people that make the cube go far and they even have a wallpaper [04:15] although my bedroom is connected to the downstairs LAN through Ethernet-over-power bridges. [04:15] no not yet [04:15] hang on [04:15] I can't get a wireless signal in this room, plus this way lets me hook up a number of devices which can't use wireless at all. [04:15] Can you guys see what I'm typing? [04:15] rusty149: what's the checklist link? [04:16] Chilaquiles: For that you need to install ccsm [04:16] Chilaquiles: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager (or something like that) [04:16] DBoyz: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/MD5SUMS [04:16] ok nevermind then [04:16] landonwo: #httpd might be a better source of apache help. [04:16] thanks edbian [04:16] Chilaquiles: It's much bigger and more elaborate than simple-ccsm, it lets you change much much more [04:16] thank you [04:16] true true. DW_Upstairs if your signal does not reach go buy a can of air from walmart 8 dollars or something blow it out. Also you will receive a stronger signal with the router higher in the air rather than lower on the floor. [04:16] landonwo: best of luck and patience :) [04:17] meway: There's only so high I can have the router [04:17] Chilaquiles: good luck. It's huge! [04:17] * meway has to waste 32 min [04:17] DW_Upstairs, buy a longer cord :p [04:17] mbvpixies78: try, sudo mount -a [04:17] The only way I can get it higher is by mounting it on the wall. Oh wait, the mains cord won't reach [04:17] *shrug* I just said 'screw it' in the end, and got an Ethernet-over-power kit [04:17] maco: This worked. -- Thank you for your help. -- I am making my first steps in Banshee. I am trying to play Mozart's 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik'. The title is shown in row 3. There is a progress bar slowly moving to the right. There is a throbber rotating in the lower right. I cannot hear any sound. The sound symbol in the systray is displayed thinly. How to obtain sound? [04:17] After an initial false start I've got that working just fine [04:18] edbian: I have seen people thatr minimize the widnow and you can see like flames and cool stuff. Can I do that with compiz? [04:18] Considering they only cost me £35 for the pair, when most name-brand kits cost like £80, they work VERY well. [04:18] bullgard4: click the sound symbol? [04:18] I get about 70Mbps with them. Not bad considering they're rated for a max of 85Mbps. [04:18] Chilaquiles, yes [04:18] Chilaquiles: yes === root__ is now known as brokenboy [04:18] Chilaquiles: Short answer, if you have seen somebody do it and it is neat, it was compiz [04:18] hai [04:18] edbian: where is that configuration located [04:19] Chilaquiles: No idea, cube plugin probably [04:19] rusty149: values are the same [04:19] Chilaquiles, like rain effect etc [04:19] After my screen saver pops up and I type my password in because it asks me to it says something about ubuntu graphical mode or w/e. it only shows up on part of my 42"" lcd screen o.o wtf [04:19] yes zvrk [04:20] rusty149: I'm still getting connection refused, refer to mount.cifs [04:20] anyone know if multi-head config has gotten any better in the last 2/3 versions? [04:20] maco: I clicked on the sound symbol and then on »Unmute«. Now I can hear the music playing. -- Thank you very much for your help. [04:20] mbvpixies78: sudo mount.cifs //gaia.seventhring.tzo.net/D /mnt/gaia/music cifs -o credentials=/home/[user name]/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 [04:20] Chilaquiles, you need install compiz and all compiz packages [04:20] f0urtyfive: got better? Does Ubuntu's multi-head fail or something? [04:21] zvrk: Chilaquiles is the coolest thing ever [04:21] Chilaquiles: compiz that is [04:21] how do I do that zvrk?¿ [04:21] DW_Upstairs: Dual head is usually easy (unless you want to rotate one), > 2 doesnt ever work unless you do the config by hand; at least last time I tried [04:21] Chilaquiles, 3d accelerator too [04:21] mbvpixies78: if not try adding domain=[Domain] to smbcredentials [04:21] I dont have a good video vard [04:21] card [04:21] f0urtyfive: So Ubuntu should work okay on Monster. Good to know. [04:21] Chilaquiles: doesn't really matter [04:22] I think it's going to be very slow if i enable that [04:22] DW_Upstairs: I configured my current setup (24", 17" rotated 90 degrees) in 8.04 and dont dare try to change it [04:22] DW_Upstairs: And even now it gets glitchy, doesnt to XRANDR, etc etc etc [04:22] All I need is to be able to set both screens to 1280x1024, nothing more esoteric than that [04:23] Chilaquiles, search for compiz in software packages [04:23] DBoyz: There is a usb-startup-disk.exe creator on the cdimages. It is same software used in Linux and always works. you could try that [04:23] of course, considering my problems with Windows 7 in that vein, Ubuntu may raise my blood pressure too [04:23] I already installed that zvrk [04:23] DW_Upstairs: Wierd, I've never had an issue with windows multi mon [04:23] Chilaquiles, 3d accelerator too? [04:23] Chilaquiles: It will show you all the other extra plugins and such related to compiz [04:23] Seems that Windows 7 considers the monitor's EDID to be God, and stubbornly resists every effort to change it. [04:23] zvrk: It's installed and running by default [04:24] Windows XP allowed monitor drivers to override it [04:24] Windows 7 doesn't [04:24] DW_Upstairs: what is an EDID? [04:24] mmhh do I have to install that from the software packages also? [04:24] rusty149: links to dl that one pls [04:24] !ot | DW_Upstairs [04:24] DW_Upstairs: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:24] the 3d acceleratior? [04:24] Hi I am issues with UNE (ubuntu netbook edition) 10.10 any is this the correct chat? [04:24] alright, point taken [04:24] Its on the cds and in the .iso [04:24] edbian: EDID is the monitor's configuration, as I understand it. If the monitor supports Plug and Play, EDID is the data that the OS uses to configure it [04:25] Chilaquiles: You do not have to install compiz. It is installed by default [04:25] rusty149: I'm still getting connection refused, even with adding the domain to .smbcredentials by which we use the domain minus the host, i.e., not the FQDN, right? [04:25] DW_Upstairs: Electronic Digital ID perhaps? [04:25] ok but what about the 3d accelerator? [04:25] so no one knows if ubuntu multi-head support sucks less in the new releases? [04:25] maybe [04:25] "Extended display identification data", so sayeth Wikipedia [04:25] Chilaquiles: Do any of the compiz effects work? Does the cube work? [04:25] yep [04:25] mbvpixies78: yeah, so e.g WORKGROUP or whatever yours is [04:25] they do [04:26] Chilaquiles: then it's all working [04:26] Problem is that my Dell monitor reports its maximum resolution to be lower than it ACTUALLY supports. [04:26] Chilaquiles: You just have to configure compiz === pins is now known as pinPoint [04:26] yeah but when I try to minimize the window I don't see the flames [04:26] :( [04:26] I used 1280x1024 under XP, even though the EDID claims its maximum res is 1152x864 [04:26] Chilaquiles: ccsm [04:26] Chilaquiles, install then ccsm [04:26] Chilaquiles: You just have to configure it in ccsm [04:26] Anyone know how easily the Nvidia drivers would let me override that in Ubuntu? [04:27] and you need set up effects [04:27] is that going to take a lot of resourses? [04:27] I don't have a good machine [04:27] Chilaquiles: not really, more than no flames [04:27] Chilaquiles: trust me, it really doesn't matter [04:27] DBoyz: have you got an ubuntu cd? === M4rotku_ is now known as M4rotku [04:27] Chilaquiles: CompizConfig Settings Manager - it will let you set flames [04:28] i don't have a cd drive [04:28] I think I have it installed [04:28] Hi I am issues with UNE (ubuntu netbook edition) 10.10 any is this the correct chat? [04:28] Chilaquiles: It shows up in System -> Preferences [04:28] ldz420: You're in the right place. Ask the question [04:28] ldz420: Yes. [04:29] edbian under what name? [04:29] DBoyz: can you mount the .iso , if not use this http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html [04:29] Chilaquiles: compiz-config settings manager [04:29] * DW_Upstairs resists the urge to comment on UNE 10.10 [04:29] System -> Preferences [04:29] bullgard: thx [04:29] yes thats the program I was configuring since the beginning [04:29] Chilaquiles: That's it! the flame thing is in Animations [04:29] rusty149: what's that [04:30] and how do i use that? [04:30] DBoyz: after install it will let you open .iso files and read it just like a burnt cd [04:30] hi all, i'm trying to figure out what im doing wrong here, and maybe someone can give some suggestions. I've tried adding a module to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (pata_fsl) as well as adding it in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules; it still doesn't load the module. the module IS in the initramfs, but it isn't loading it [04:30] under effects edbian? [04:30] Chilaquiles: yeah [04:31] cool let me try that [04:31] Okay, here's an Ubuntu question; Ubuntu has put an icon in the taskbar telling me to Install Drivers for my Geforce 7600. Except, I just did that. Apparently it thinks I need to enable BOTH versions of the Nvidia drivers. [04:31] DBoyz: simply double-click and treats it like a folder [04:31] Chilaquiles: ummm, no, IDK it's in there somewhere, explore [04:31] i've tried adding something to a hooks, for force_load pata_fsl, but it doesn't seem to work either [04:31] Anyone know how to get rid of that? [04:31] k [04:31] what do i do next? [04:31] I'm pretty sure that I can't enable both versions of the driver at the same time, and that even if I did it would accomplish nothing good [04:31] how to save mp3 from streaming website? [04:32] DW_Upstairs: ur right, hahaha [04:32] rusty149: what do i do next? [04:32] edbian: yeah no? [04:32] edbian: I'm right? What about? [04:32] Chilaquiles: IDK, haha [04:32] DW_Upstairs: about not wanting 2 drivers installed at once [04:32] DW_Upstairs: you can remove "hardware drivers notification" from starup [04:32] sorry edbian but what's IDK? [04:32] AbhiJit: You can use Exaile. [04:32] DBoyz: After install, open the ubuntu .iso and copy usb-creator.exe to your computer [04:33] im a newbiue [04:33] shcherbak: Ta! That should put me in the right direction [04:33] Chilaquiles: IDK = I don't know [04:33] lol [04:33] bullgard4, and what is that? [04:33] AbhiJit: A Ubuntu program. [04:33] i have to reboot first [04:33] bullgard4, thank you [04:33] brb then [04:34] DW_Upstairs, nivida is also a network adapter in some machines [04:34] hmm, as someone who's been installing debian since about 1995, i have to say unetbootin is a little easier :) [04:34] shcherbak: ta muchly, that worked [04:34] not so much in the last 5 [04:34] Chilaquiles, i change control buttons [04:34] meway: Fortunately not in this system. But no, it was specifically telling me to install the drivers for the Geforce [04:34] rusty149: Windows keeps refusing connection so I'm taking a little time to make sure everything is set right on that end. [04:34] to ctrl +f [04:34] I installed "version current" but it wanted me to install "version 173". [04:35] DW_Upstairs, my HP had both so I was like erf? [04:35] I can understand that. [04:35] Chilaquiles, & work for me [04:35] hmm i cant install cmake on my machine why is this? [04:35] Until it died on me, I had an Nforce4 motherboard, and the primary network interface was Nvidia [04:35] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [04:35] cmake : Depends: libxmlrpc-core-c3 but it is not installable [04:35] Depends: cmake-data (= 2.8.3-1~maverick1) but it is not going to be installed [04:35] zvrk: where? [04:35] my une issue seems to be with the interface. The Docking bar and the main panel seems to be transparent or I am unable to see icons that appear on them. One thing that I notices is that when if I us scroll bar on docking bar I am able to see icons but they disappear. I also have tried the software on multiple machines and still get the same results. I have also tried downloading multiple copies and same results is this i known i [04:35] digilink, did you froget to type sudo [04:36] Chilaquiles, in option for paint fire on screen [04:36] digilink, nvm [04:36] ldz420: Your line cuts off at "is this i known i" [04:36] meway, no [04:36] what category zvrk? [04:36] !512 | ldz420 [04:37] mbvpixies78: The windows machine may need a restart to restart its samba shares [04:37] Chilaquiles, ccsm -- effects [04:37] digilink, what other compilers are installed? [04:38] how can I change resolution in console? [04:38] In ubuntu I used notify-send to write simple gui notifications in bash scripts what can I use to do that in suse? notify-send ain't in the repos [04:38] edbian, #suse [04:38] elkng: Oooh, I know this one! Sort of. It involves the xrandr command if memory serves [04:39] zvrk: I already enable everything in effects nothing worked [04:39] elkng, system>monitors [04:39] oops [04:39] No matter what I have tried,I cannot get Eclipse to install plugins in 9.10 [04:39] ldz420: Your message was too long and thus truncated. Please keep it less than about 512 characters. [04:39] Chilaquiles: to have windows minimize and burn with fire look in Effects > Animation > Minimize Animation [04:39] minimize effects? [04:39] erm wait [04:39] meway: He specifically asked for console [04:39] yea I was a bit slow there [04:40] rusty149: im not seeing the reason why i should install that software. i have 7-zip [04:40] charlesno: "I cannot get" is no precise description. Please cite an error message so that people can help you more efficiently. [04:40] bastidrazor, what do I have to enable in Minimize Animation? [04:40] Chilaquiles, you need to set up and initiate with keyb. [04:40] omg it's ubuntu himself :D [04:41] oooooh, the Alt-Tab interface for Ubuntu desktop is fancy [04:41] any1 out there [04:41] redv lmao [04:41] bullgard: "!512? " come again [04:41] wonder if that's because of it being desktop, or 10.10, because UNE 10.04 doesn't do this [04:41] ldz420: If you type too many characters at once, your line gets truncated. [04:41] um, can any1 help me with something [04:41] ldz420: Your message was too long and thus truncated. Please keep it less than about 512 characters. [04:41] ubuntu, asjk [04:41] DBoyz: ok, use that then if it supports iso's. But Virtual Clone is different as it mounts the image like a cd drive [04:41] ubuntu: just ask your problem and people will assist [04:41] ubuntu, change your name to something better. type /nick [04:42] i downloaded lubuntu right [04:42] bullgard4: after installing Sun's JDK, I install Eclipse from either the shell or synpatic. Then I try to install OcaIDE, a plug in for Eclipse. After restarting Eclipse, though it says ocaIDE is installed, there is no sign of it [04:42] ubuntu: one line so we can read it easily. there's lots of people here [04:42] i'll stick to 7-zip [04:42] and i cant seem to figure out how to install adobe flash for it [04:42] anyways [04:42] what do i do next, rusty149 [04:42] perhaps I need to install eclipse manually [04:42] this is prob really easy for some of you vets [04:42] ubuntu, sudo apt-get install adobe-flash [04:42] Chilaquiles, and inside animation too [04:42] ?

[04:59] rusty149: i got message md5sum don't match [05:00] lubuntu. i tried running ubuntu from a CD and a USB but for some reason it wouldnt run [05:00] nubuntu: enable third party software [05:00] so im kinda stuck with it [05:00] ok [05:00] DBoyz: from that software [05:00] Chilaquiles, you have just none [05:00] brb [05:00] yes [05:00] maybe you didn't burn it/set it up right [05:00] DBoyz: can you skip it? [05:00] some one remind an old guy how do i pipe the output of lspci to a text file? [05:00] hi, on the "Who Are You?" screen in the install process, how do you get Forward to not be grayed-out?

[05:01] nubuntu, in order for it to run from a usb or cd you must go into your bios and change the boot order. Normally on startup it asks you to press f2 or f12 or similar [05:01] Galactiger: usernames must be lowercase and have no spaces. is that the case with yours? [05:01] nubuntu: synaptic will ask you to reload, i think there is button in top left with two arrows, press it [05:01] Chilaquiles, like [05:01] you can also press f8 for boot order or such [05:01] ubuntu 10.04/ubuntu desktop is really straight forward and beginner friendly [05:01] but my usb stick is only 300+ mb used [05:01] DBoyz: you have already check so skip [05:01] i know what part [05:01] maco: yes [05:01] nubuntu: just second... [05:01] i'll try again [05:01] i went into the bios and changed it to boot from usb [05:01] Galactiger: both your passwords match? [05:01] but it didnt work [05:01] Glide 2 , none and Fade [05:01] lubuntu did tho [05:02] nubuntu, some machines don't support it :/ [05:02] ah well [05:02] maco: yeah, I've got a little checkmark next to the Confirm entry... [05:02] Chilaquiles, you need to install all packages for compiz [05:02] Galactiger: name's filled in too? ive only heard this problem when people use capital letters in username [05:02] maco: wait a second... [05:02] Chilaquiles, like extras experimental etc [05:02] ok zvrk, can I find that on the ubuntu software center? [05:03] nubuntu: tick all on fist tab [05:03] anyway, about enabling the 3rd party software, it that where i check off those "software packaged by canonical..." stuff [05:03] oh [05:03] maco: I lied, whoops! my username seems to be the issue [05:03] ok theyre all ticked in [05:03] nubuntu: in second you can tick all but cd [05:03] Chilaquiles, yes just search for compiz [05:03] maco: huh, that seemed to be it =O [05:03] so basically all but the first, ok [05:04] maco: thank you! ^^ [05:04] Chilaquiles, install all related to compiz packages [05:04] ok thanks zvrk [05:04] then what? [05:05] Chilaquiles, you welcome [05:05] nubuntu: after reload, search for adobe flash [05:05] is "revert" the same as reload? [05:06] nubuntu: No [05:06] aight [05:06] nubuntu: you should see installer from adobe, revert? no! [05:06] so ill just close it [05:06] hi all, I have a problem with ubuntu 10.10, it tends to randomly log me out a lot... I havent really managed to link it to anything besides maybe VNCing into it... its making my ubuntu unreliable and sometimes irritating... help [05:06] nubuntu: just close reopsitories window [05:07] thanks [05:07] i got it to work [05:07] reloading... [05:07] YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS [05:07] its there [05:07] :D [05:08] nubuntu: you may want to know that you can install gnome same way. [05:08] ajwill: using x11vnc? [05:08] nubuntu: What exactly was the problem? You should post your process on Ubuntu Forums so others can learn from your ... mistake. :D [05:08] I have attempted to search on the internet but still not finding any thing on the same issue that I am having [05:08] nubuntu: if your machine is strong enough [05:08] mother... [05:08] is there any software like x-lite for ubuntu? [05:08] i checked youtube real quick to see if i got flash and it continues to say I dont? [05:09] trism: correct, I've noticed it most often shuts down when I VNC into it via an x11vnc server I have set up via a bash script and a daemon, I vnc into it from my ipod touch using VNC Viewer if that'd affect anything [05:09] ajwill: I'm going to guess it's a screen saver setting [05:09] oh [05:09] i see [05:09] nubuntu: is it installed already? [05:09] sacarlson: I've done a lot of googling and setting changing and that's definitely not it [05:09] its because i was using chromium thats why [05:09] Chilaquiles, Ekiga [05:09] yeah its installed [05:10] Chilaquiles, twinkle [05:10] ajwill: same thing was happening to me, I rolled back to lucid, but today I found ttps://bugs.freedesktop.org//show_bug.cgi?id=30032 , it appears it might be a bug in the 1.9 xserver when using xrecords, the workaround seems to be to pass -noxrecords to x11vnc, I haven't tried it yet though [05:10] Chilaquiles, those can be used for replacing x-lite [05:10] trism: lucid... is that a vnc server? [05:10] DBoyz: watch this if you are still confused [05:10] ajwill: no lucid is 10.04 of ubuntu [05:10] so , uh, when looking for a compatible mozilla browser, do i search for one for ubuntu or just for linux in general? [05:10] since i dont have mozilla yet [05:11] rusty149: it says installation failed [05:11] nubuntu: use opera [05:11] trism: ohh, well I really like ubuntu 10.10, so I guess I'll try adding the -noxrecords to x11vnc if I havent already... checking my script now [05:11] nubuntu: search http://www.webupd8.org; they have a fix for that. [05:11] nubuntu: most of browsers are in repos, or deliver .deb packages [05:11] ajwill: actually it is -noxrecord , sorry [05:11] ranjan, Im looking for a software that is very similar to x-lite since I need to configure it like x-lite [05:12] DBoyz: in the windows program? [05:12] yes [05:12] trism: okay, I dont have that in my script... gunna give it a shot :) [05:12] Chilaquiles, both these can be used like x-lite. what are the configurations you want?? [05:12] ajwill: good luck [05:12] nubuntu: sudo apt-get install firefox will install firefox in your system. [05:12] then it said something about the md5 thingy not matching [05:12] trism: thanks! much appreciated :) [05:12] Chilaquiles, you just want to specify the VOIP server and ports isnt it? [05:12] i type that into the search? [05:13] nubuntu: What browser are you using now? [05:13] no ranjan [05:13] chromium [05:13] nubuntu: no, in terminal [05:13] Chilaquiles, then??? [05:13] give me a sec and I tell you [05:13] nubuntu: I think firefox is default installed it's the new version of mozilla [05:13] ok.. I will go to a new question.. can someone inform me how to remove non-essential GNOME services? [05:13] terminal? [05:13] yea [05:14] nubuntu: chromium, not easy choice. [05:14] !ekiga [05:14] ekiga is an Internet telephony application included with Ubuntu, which supports the SIP and H323 protocols. Information and help at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ekiga [05:14] DBoyz: this is very odd, you shouldn't be having this trouble. Did you check the md5sum already? [05:14] tell Chilaquiles !ekiga [05:14] ranjam, I need to do the same as it says here: [05:14] http://www.levoltz.com/2010/03/04/unlimited-free-international-calls-sms-with-google-voice-outside-us/ [05:14] nubuntu: Alt-F2 and xtem [05:14] i have [05:14] nubuntu: Alt-F2 and xterm [05:14] sorry [05:14] Chilaquiles, let me see [05:14] rusty149: gimme the checklist [05:14] DBoyz: what is the filename of the iso? [05:14] +again [05:15] im trying it for ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386 first [05:15] ok... a black box appeared [05:15] DBoyz: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/MD5SUMS [05:15] Hi. I just installed Ubuntu Desktop 10.10. I rebooted my machine and now I have grub> sitting on my screen. Not sure what to do. [05:15] nubuntu: close synaptic and in box type: sudo apt-get install firefox [05:16] ight [05:16] Hypolgybetic: are there options on the grub screen? [05:16] its working its magic [05:16] ajwill I pressed TAB and I have a slew of commands avaliable. There are no Options. [05:16] Chilaquiles, all these can be done in twinkle i think [05:17] this gives me firefox? [05:17] mhhh, I hope so [05:17] Hypoglybetic: Do you have more than one hard drive? [05:17] nubuntu: when finished, Alt-F2 and firefox [05:17] (typing from desktop pc win7) just installed and finished updates for HP-G60 laptop ubuntu 10.10 x64. There is no wifi link available. As in the wifi doesnt even exist. Not sure what to do here? [05:17] okay so when you reboot and just go to the main grub menu there isnt anything like Ubuntu then a whole crapload of numbers? [05:17] Jordan_U I am using a Dell Perc 6i PCI card to manage a RAID5 array of5 disks 4TB [05:18] nubuntu: or in black box (xterm) type firefox and hit enter [05:18] Hypoglybetic: Do you see an 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6...' option [05:18] Hypoglybetic: Does "ls -l" at the grub shell seem to list the array as a single drive, and correctly display its contents? [05:18] rusty149 No I do not [05:18] THANKSSS [05:18] it works perfectly now! [05:18] yes!!! [05:19] rofl [05:19] nubuntu: to the next one, than, thanks [05:19] (typing from desktop pc win7) just installed and finished updates for HP-G60 laptop ubuntu 10.10 x64.

[05:19] aha [05:19] rusty149: same error [05:19] i tried for amd64 alternate, same problem [05:19] now my pc isnt totally useless lol [05:19] thanks man [05:20] Jordan_u hd0 gpt3: unknown file stystem, hd0,gpt2: ext2, hd0,gpt1: unkonwn filesystem [05:20] DBoyz: have you tried pendrivelinux or UNetBootin [05:20] YES [05:20] nubuntu: i belive it have much potential. [05:20] (typing from desktop pc win7) just installed and finished updates for HP-G60 laptop ubuntu 10.10 x64. There is no wifi link available. As in the wifi doesnt even exist. Not sure what to do here? [05:20] Hypoglybetic: Interesting. It doesn't list any filesystems that it *can* understand? [05:21] pendrivelinux - the ubuntu logo appears with the options but nothing happens when i select any option [05:21] Hypoglybetic: Never mind, misread. [05:21] Jordan_U Just the hd0,gpt2: ext2 [05:21] unetbootin - i got an error that says "operating system missing" [05:21] desaints, you need to find out what sort of wifi adapter you have or you can try and get help online using wired connection [05:21] peace [05:21] later [05:21] Jordan_U So it can read the swap partition..i guess [05:22] desaints, it'll be a lot quicker in general if you could seek support whilst rely on wired connection as the feedbacks are more prompt [05:22] alright [05:22] desaints: similar thing but on natty, linux-firmware? [05:22] Hypoglybetic: If you "ls (hd0,gpt2)/" do you see what looks like the files of a root filesystem? (/var, /etc...) [05:23] is the an RDP client for jolicloud? [05:23] Jordan_U Yes [05:23] Hypoglybetic: What happens when you run "configfile (hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub/grub.cfg"? [05:24] is there a tool i can use to figure out what my wifi adapter is [05:24] desaints: lspci [05:24] desaints, there's plenty under linux, under windows there's some that will give you basic info [05:24] Jordan_U My screen was cleared, grub> _ is now at the top of the screen [05:25] Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection [05:25] Hypoglybetic: Any errors if you run "source (hd0,gpt2)/boot/grub/grub.cfg"? [05:26] rusty149: anything? [05:26] Jordan_U, none [05:26] desaints: does your panel applet saying "missing firmware"? [05:26] nope [05:26] hi [05:26] Hypoglybetic: Do you see kernel images if you "ls /boot/"? [05:26] Jordan_U nothing happened, no error, no confirmation, no msg [05:26] desaints: ifconfig - any wireless? [05:27] Ubuntu 9.04, Dell Studio 1745, No sound. Here is the output from the ALSA analyzer script: http://pastebin.com/wL0qifrA I've tried all the basics (like volume controls, ALSA mixer, lspci) ... any ideas? [05:27] desaints: or better iwconfig [05:27] CrazyH: Ubuntu 9.04 is no longer supported. [05:27] DBoyz: what kind of machine is it? [05:27] Jordan_U I see system map, abi, memtest86+, vmcoreinfo, vmlinuz, nothing about Kernel [05:27] how do i select a name instead of typing it here in irc [05:27] Jordan_U: i would upgrade, but when I do my KB and mouse die... so... now what?

[05:28] desaints, that is your wireless interface [05:28] desaints: ok, wifi is there, where is problem? [05:29] Is it possible to use a webcam with Ubuntu? [05:29] Jordan_U: yes. But after the install is finished, the machine boots to graphical login. Then I can't do anything at all. I have to hit the power off button :-9 [05:29] DBoyz: you sure your usb flash is any good? hwtest maybe? [05:29] shcherbak: i cannot enable wifi, the button is red instead of blue, and im not certain as how to enable wifi through linux (learning still) [05:29] izzy__: try cheese, camorama [05:29] izz__: very! I use mine and there's even moderately decent webcam effect packages [05:29] shcherbak: and there is no wifi tray app saying i can connect to networks [05:30] Hypoglybetic: The files like "vmlinuz-2.6.32-25-generic" are the kernel images.

[05:31] Jordan_U I'm experienced with computer hardware, electronics, and windows but I don't know anything about Linux [05:31] desaints: ok, try first iwlist wlan0 scanning [05:32] shcherbak: wlan0 Failed to read scan data : Network is down, also the network tray app says wifi is disabled [05:33] desaints: ok, killall nm-applet && gnome-panel --replace [05:33] Hypoglybetic: In a bash shell you can type the first few characters of a filename then hit the tab key to automatically complete the rest of it. The same is true for the grub shell, and for your IRC client with nicknames (try typing "Jord"). [05:33] Jordan_U: I'm trying again. I do remember getting fully logged on once to Ubuntu 10.10, but the X UI looks completely different and I could barely use it. How do I revert the UI back to what comes standard with 9.04? [05:33] What I want to do is video chat with some one using Windows. [05:33] DBoyz: Try reformat the usb drive and try again [05:33] desaints: otherwise use rfkill [05:33] Is that possible?

[05:34] izzy__: Assuming your webcam is properly supported to begin with in Ubuntu, programs like Skype can potentially be used to Video chat with Windows systems. [05:34] shcherbak: the terminal was sitting on the process not completing it. i closed terminal and the tray disappeared.. [05:34] Ok thanks. I'll try that. [05:34] rusty149: ? [05:34] I need some ube rhelp here, can an ubuntu pro PM me please x.x [05:35] try what manually? [05:35] izzy__: Please make sure your webcam actually works before trying skype, else you are in for a very big headache ^_^ [05:35] desaints: Alt-F2 gnome-panel --replace [05:35] lol it works with Cheese and Camorame [05:35] Hypoglybetic: To boot manually from the grub shell run "linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-25-generic root=/dev/sda2" (use tab completion for vmlinuz...) then "initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-20-generic" then simply run "boot".

The file that you tried to load was not a valid linux kernel, but it should have been. It may be that the file got corrupted at some point. Did you run the integrity test on the Ubuntu install CD? [05:53] !hardware | Thndrandlitning5 [05:53] Thndrandlitning5: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [05:53] desaints: what model is it?

I think? I don't remember. [05:54] desaints: he was refering to the wireless [05:54] Jordan_U, Normally I don't, but I do remember doing it for one of this newly burned disks, perhaps it was the server CD i verified? [05:55] desaints: the "blue" controls, those with Fn? and is rfkill list react to pressing switch nest to power button? [05:55] Hypoglybetic: Try booting from the install CD and running the check. If it fails then you have your answer. [05:55] xangua plz check the thread i sent you [05:55] shcherbak: no it is it's own seperate button to press, no fn button necessary [05:56] TheMoor: private¿ i am inmune to them; ask helo to the channel not just one single person [05:56] shcherbak: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN [Shiloh] Network Connection [05:56] desaints: ok, iwconfig it shows interface [05:57] shcherbak: umm...

How do i boot to console instead of into X/GDM? [06:03] about:config says network.dns.disableIPv6 = false which is the default [06:03] MWP: you can just ctrl+alt+f1 [06:03] shcherbak: applet cannot enable wifi [06:03] MWP: or if you want it permanent, edit /etc/initrc [06:03] desaints: rfkill unblock [06:04] DBoyz: well If the ChkFlsh failed I guess you need to find another usb flash disk [06:04] test [06:04] shcherbak: ok both are no now. but applet still says disabled [06:04] muhammadnk: /etc/initrc doesnt exist? [06:04] desaints: iwconfig?

[06:11] MWP: try and see. no use complaining too old and ending up like an idiot. [06:11] MWP: use this, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2004-October/008951.html - this is better. [06:12] MWP: it *will* work. and you have a choice to remove it complete or the second choice is to disable it at startup. [06:13] muhammadnk: nope, fail. still starts X [06:14] muhammadnk: as i said, recent Ubuntu uses different init system, so those old methods no long work.

[06:19] DBoyz: can the formated usb flash hold a iso file with a md5sum match? [06:19] MWP: you have to tell it not to autostart, which is how it normally works, which means editing gdm.conf in /etc/init [06:19] running ubuntu in a KDE environment and my shutdown/restart buttons are missing from the dropdown menu, how can i add them to it manually?

[08:29] mbvpixies78, id say 2 Gb are a bit better, but 1 is minimum if you use internet browsers and watch movies [08:29] mbvpixies78: you can never have too much ram :p [08:29] ejv: AMD Athlon XP 2100+ (1.7GHz) [08:30] mbvpixies78: ouch, i feel your pain [08:30] what socket is that... 939? [08:30] socket A! wow lol [08:30] ejv: my main computer is Phenom quad core 2.6GHz, 8GB RAM but I'm not ready to switch over completely [08:31] ejv: It should run ubuntu 10.04 fine with more ram though, dontcha think? [08:31] mbvpixies78, actually a way to meassure the ram you need, is watch swap memory usage. If you are currently using swap, ram would improve your experience a lot. To check swap usage, you can use free, or top, or htop [08:32] Every time my ubuntu (server) reboots, it hangs after fsck of all filesystems.. a check in /var/log/messages shows JBD: barrier-based sync failed on dm-6:8 - disabling barriers..

If the guide says is safe to have the fs mounted while adding a disk to the partition, i dont know. I dont think that was safe :/ [09:00] hey, I am trying to install opencv and saw this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenCV) but the libcv4 package is not in my repos [09:00] nesbitt, I meant, you cant do much right now, can you? [09:00] help? [09:00] @Jordan-U. So the whoe OCRFeeder suite would do it? [09:00] I'm at the software center. [09:01] rk: i just did an ls of my /home and it's empty! :'(. no i can't... i don't think, i just don't know whether to kill it, or leave it going, or try and unmount the filesystem while it's still running or what! any ideas?

The indicator says this and then the machine goes into hibernation. But interestingly, if I boot the machine and wait on the boot screen or elsewhere, it does sit there for a long time and it does not run out of charge. Is the batte [09:02] please anyone [09:02] geboy, auto. It will set it up as soon as available [09:02] Hi, my SD card reader does not work with the last few Ubuntu releases. I have a "Ricoh Co Ltd R5C822" (Lenovo X61s). I searched on the Internet, but I could not find a solution. How can I debug my problem? [09:02] is there a way to convert a huge .xlsx file to csv in ubuntu? some scripts etc.? [09:03] ajay__yadav: have you tried open office calc? it might be able to [09:03] the file is big and is not opening in openoffice so can not save it as csv in that manner [09:03] rk: i've put auto eth3 iface eth3 inet manual and the last line "up" but it wont start [09:03] ajay__yadav: tried openoffice? [09:04] @ajay__yadav: What about google docs? It is not ubuntu, but it might help you out [09:04] nesbitt, try asking #debian those guys have much more experience with lvm :) [09:04] Thanks For The help :D [09:04] awesome, thanks for your help, rk [09:05] Hi...it happens many times that whenever I start my Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, compiz do not start automatically, even though I've specifically added it to the 'Startup Apps'. I've to manually start it most of the times. Any suggestions on how to resolve it? [09:05] Hi! I want to download a package on this pc (x86) but install it on one, that is currently without internet connection (arm). How do I do that? [09:05] Sickbock: copy paste output of lsusb -vvv to http://pastebin.com/ so we have more info [09:05] Hi, is it possible to tell a symfony form to add fields to name attribute groups as in formname[group][fieldname] when defining the widgets, or do I hjave to do that in a PostValidator? [09:05] the file is too big to open in openoffice.. any other method? [09:06] Sickbock: actually sudo lsusb -vvv you may need to run as root [09:06] during an do-release-update, console-setup hangs... apt-get install -f keeps console-setup hanging.. How can I fixs this? [09:06] can any verify that iwl3945 works? debian and ubuntu and kubuntu can't see that or theth0 card RTL8101E [09:06] nicofs: Whenever you download a package, it gets stored in /var/cache/apt. You can copy that page from there, and install it on the machine you want to. [09:06] oops, i am sorry [09:06] geboy, network manager in my experience makes its own thing over configuration files when its started. I would suggest you to use the gui interface. Is there anything you cant do from there. Just go to properties in the networkmanager toolbar icon, and select eth3. then mark always autoconnect [09:07] h-dee, but will it download the arm-version on an x86 machine? [09:07] i have remove the network manager coz i have the bug with the privilages so i can't change anything [09:08] i tried python scripting but most packages are offering support for xls only [09:08] insmod: lsmod |grep iwl should tell you if the module is loaded, if it is then it works... but strage question cause it really should work 'out of the box' [09:08] Thekid: Here is my lsusb for my SD card problem: http://pastebin.com/9WhV7iSr [09:09] h-dee, as for your compiz - you could add a line to start compiz to .bashrc in your home/user/ folder - it will get executed after login... [09:09] nicofs: Sorry, I don't know about that. But, if you're using Synaptic, or aptitude to install packages, it will install those versions which are compatible with the current running machine i.e. if you're downloading from 64-bit, it will download 64-bit packages, and so wouldn't run on 32-bit. however, vice-versa is applicable very well. [09:09] insmod: i use iwl3945, works fine [09:09] thekid: it is and i can scan the card just cant connect anywhere [09:09] hello everyone, my right click is not working on desktop but its working properly every where else, how to rectify it [09:09] nicofs: Thanks, I'll give that a shot. [09:09] ejv: really [09:10] alternatively, if someone could tell me how to connect to a WPA2/PEAP encrypted network with iwconfig, i'd be happy aswell... [09:10] nicofs, isnt trivial [09:11] nicofs: iwconfig wlan0 key [09:11] nicofs, and you will need more tools than iwconfig [09:11] nicofs: iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxx [09:11] ghfjf [09:11] nicofs: try this 'sudo iwconfig essid "ACCESSPOINT" key PASSWORD' [09:11] insmod, no key... username and password... [09:11] insmod: really. :) [09:11] or maybe im mistaken ^^ [09:11] nicofs: By the way, if I add it to .bashrc, wouldn't it run everytime I open bash? [09:12] ejv: dmesg says wlan0 no ipv6 routers present [09:12] ejv: dmesg also says wlan0 link is not ready [09:12] h-dee, erm... good question... i always add things i want done at login to .bashrc...

I'll try that too. [09:15] h-dee, just make an experiment: add some trivial application to .bashrc and then open some terminals and see how often that app gets started... ;-) [09:16] Sickbock: sorry but looks like you're out of luck, it's just not supported now. You have to wait or get an external usb reader, or just use your phone ... rare situation but it happens :( [09:16] when running cfdisk i get an error "cannot read disk drive". this means the hdd is lost for good, right?

[10:28] waaghals: cat /etc/issue but it's loading yelp [10:28] it's not an empty box that gives you the output of uname -r [10:28] waaghals: sorry cat /etc/issue will show you what version. hitting about ubuntu will pull up yelp [10:28] waaghals: also I just noticed mine says natty but i'm running maverick so. [10:28] vadimkiselev, that's what I meant by "even when I set it not to (suspend)" [10:29] if you can burn the cd just insert it and restart when the hp screen shows up hit f2 of f11 and change boot to cd the system will restart and the rest you can figure out from there [10:29] histo, brilliant. now I don't even have to use the mouse. [10:29] zach32 m8 [10:29] i have to do it with usb [10:29] while downloading the iso file of ubuntu, is it important that amd or ýntel processor [10:30] ? [10:30] Ariza, yes that's important if you own a relatively recent machine, it's either AMD or Intel 64 [10:30] Ariza: the AMD one also does intel, no [10:30] when I click on Appearence Preferences > Visual Effects > Normal or Extra it says searching for drivers [10:31] but i could not find the download link for amd [10:31] Hi, i have a patch file continue.patch, how to patch it? thanks [10:31] then it hangs when I try to press Close [10:31] download Universal-USB-Installer-v1.7.6 [10:31] Ariza: what did you find? [10:31] how might i reconfigure the keyboard in ubuntu? I moved my SSD from a desktop to my laptop, but now i cant use some of the keys :P [10:31] Ariza: there is basically two versions 32bit and 64bit [10:31] same in X and console(ctrl-alt-f1) [10:31] Ariza: amd/intel doesn't matter [10:31] and get a 2 gb usb [10:31] zach32 i download usb installer [10:31] ddilinger, look in system. there's somethign with a keyboard icon [10:31] ok run did you run it? [10:31] I don't think the Nvidia drivers are working I installed [10:32] yes i run [10:32] Ariza, you can always try to run it live-boot. if it don't work, it'll be wrong :-) [10:32] :) [10:33] zach32, universel usb installer doesn't see my iso file [10:33] well thats blah, i can change it but it needs my password, and my password uses one of the disabled keys, what fun :) [10:33] Now I get the error: The Composite extension is not available. [10:34] anybody here use AviDemux [10:34] i accidentally typed "mv file *" instead of "mv file ~". now all the files in the directory are gone. can this be reversed? [10:34] !anyone | john38 [10:34] john38: 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? [10:34] when I click on Appearence Preferences > Visual Effects > Normal or Extra it says searching for drivers, then I get the error "The Composite extension is not available"...... Any ideas how to fix this? I think the nvidia drivers I installed may not be working correctly [10:34] tish: where'd yo move them to? [10:35] error occured: " your usb drive won't be bootable" [10:35] did you rename the iso file? [10:35] no [10:35] How do you merge video files with Avidemux [10:35] zach32 this time it found the iso file, but error occured: " your usb drive won't be bootable" [10:36] Ariza: please follow the directions from ubottu they are known to work. [10:36] skilz: what video card? [10:36] histo: i'm not sure if they were moved or just deleted. because i typed "mv file *" and it said: "mv: cannot stat `file'" [10:36] are there any command line timer apps that show a progress bar? [10:36] i originally intended to move just the 'file' [10:36] basically sleep but with a progress bar [10:37] tish: then nothing was changed. === marc is now known as Guest86086 [10:37] tish: it would be move somefile destination [10:37] hello. [10:38] i am using webchat on freenode, but its quite slow; any web alternatives? i cannot install clients here [10:38] lahwran: what are you trying to time? [10:38] hi5_: i'd just search for a java irc client [10:38] histo: Geforce 210 Galaxy, Ubuntu searched for the driver and downloaded it and installed [10:38] yes histo [10:39] it's working however...i just try this for somethime [10:39] histo: I want a program to start again a certain amount of time after I close it. I'd rather know how much time is left than not. [10:39] histo: Funny thing is effects were working before I installed this video card [10:39] skilz: did you restart X afterthe driver was installed?

[10:40] I have the System > Administation > NVIDIA X Server Settings [10:40] and I can open it [10:40] skilz: hrm.. does glxinfo | grep render show direct redering: yes [10:40] an error(1) occured while executing syslinux.

[10:41] hi5 it is related with my external hdd [10:41] help me. i really don't know what is wrong with my network [10:41] Hi! Any idea why I can open a connection via network manager GUI, but trying to open it via CLI using "nmcli con up uuid [UUID]" only says: "Error: No suitable device found: no device found for connection 'Dna Default'." ? Once opened via GUI, dropping the connection with "nmcli con down uuid [UUID]" does work. [10:41] histo: Sure does... [10:41] hi5_: he's trying to install from thumb drive. [10:41] it is not bootable [10:41] its been days now [10:41] skilz: hrm.. that's odd. [10:41] ok [10:42] and the issue/error is? [10:42] i keep getting insufficient privilage error [10:42] hi5_: the issue is whatever app he is using to create the device rather than following the instructions in teh wiki.

[10:48] hi5, what options? I checked the man page and figured out how to create an exclude file. === aknm is now known as monk [10:48] n2diy: the man page is fine [10:48] chers zach32 ! [10:48] so what went wrong? [10:49] Just wondering, what makes my Apache log file (and most other log files) become separated into compressed files like access.log.2.gz, access.log.3.gz, etc.? [10:49] hi5, rsync backups up the .parentlock files [10:49] Hi I am trying to enable php5-mysqli but the package isn't recognised when I try apt-get install it [10:49] WillWill56: logrotation procedures === skpl is now known as essskaypeell [10:49] Ah, I read something about that, so is it automatic in Ubuntu? [10:49] WillWill56: man logrotate === erkan^2 is now known as erkan^ [10:50] Okay, won't waste your time, bye! [10:50] WillWill56: it's usually a cronjob [10:50] Thanks for the info! [10:50] n2diy: and putting other directories/files in that exclude? [10:51] just to see if something could work [10:51] whats the name of the package the looks up 32b deps and installs them ? [10:51] g[r]eek: not recognized? explaint that [10:51] i need 32b libgvfsdbus [10:52] hi5, the other files and directories are being excluded.

[10:52] need some help.. im trying to install teamviewer .. i typed irc.freenode.net in the terminal [10:52] hi5_, E: Package 'php5-mysqli' has no installation candidate [10:52] but it has some dependencies, [10:52] how do i install those dependencies? [10:52] how do i find them online thru the terminal and install them? [10:52] n2diy: could me pls tell what the .parentlock does? [10:54] hi, can someone tell me how to do a reverse ssh connection? basically i need to listen on this machine, have my friend connect out to me from where he is, and then i have a shell on his machine. [10:54] some help please? [10:54] In order to make sure a certain amount of scripts will be executed on bootup, would it be best to write an init.d script or to put an @reboot in the crontab, or some other method? [10:54] akshay: apt-get search "whattosearch" - without apices [10:54] negev: openssh-server [10:54] hi5, /home/.mozilla/.parentlock tells the system that firefox is open, so when I rsync this box to my test box, I can't open firefox on the test box, because the .parentlock file is present. [10:54] thanks :) [10:54] im using mint 10 [10:54] negev: then just make him a user acct [10:55] akshay: it should have apt-get anyway [10:55] !derivatives | akshay [10:55] akshay: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

[10:56] hi5, roger that! Me too, thats why I'm here! [10:56] i am willing to set one of my own [10:56] i am sure you will find someone more skilled on that [10:56] how can I tell rsync not to back up any file called .parentlock in any directory under /home/me/? I have a working exclude file. [10:56] hi, i had a problem on wifi [10:56] or give a search into forums/web either [10:57] can some one make a torrent of ubuntu with all the good software [10:57] and upload it [10:57] i'm running a wds wifi network, with wpa security, and ubuntu disconnects from this network after about 1/2 an hour [10:57] paroh: i dont know if there are buitup ubuntu torrents - other than livecd or whatsoever [10:58] why so many people having problems with wifi on ubuntu? [10:58] some think life customize cd [10:58] however this problem does not occur when i'm using WEP security [10:58] my intel wifi just ... worked [10:58] and this occurs on multiple laptops [10:58] phoenix_: that a common problem, looked maybe for some standy options activated? [10:58] there is a problem with laptops using broadcomm wireless.. [10:58] phoenix_: even not with ubuntu? [10:58] they need another package [10:58] to make it work [10:58] hi5_, no, all with ubuntu [10:59] is there any way to make a window revert to its original size after resizing it? [10:59] akshay, what package? [10:59] hi5_, where can i find those options? [10:59] phoenix_: try to stop the standby feature of the kernel module related to wifi card [11:00] thats a good question, i did see it somewhere [11:00] hi5_, how can i do that? [11:00] phoenix_: it always stops after the same time amouunt? [11:00] i loose my boot loader [11:00] how to get bootloader back [11:00] hi5, approximately yes [11:00] what does 'distro' mean? [11:00] paroh: with a livecd [11:01] hi5_, approximately yes [11:01] on a usb key for example [11:01] that's odd [11:01] i don't have cddrive [11:01] i had usb bootable [11:01] hmm, when i booted an ubuntu live cd there was a widget in the top bar for connecting to wired/wireless networks, but on my install i cant find it. What package might i be looking for? [11:01] maybe some insmod options can tell it not to standby - assuming it is going in standby === the is now known as Guest63395 [11:01] how i you get it working again? by reboot? [11:01] hi5_, and its not able to reconnect [11:02] hi5_, yeah [11:02] even with rmmod of the module and then insmod it? [11:02] hello. i have a broadcom wireless card and i was wondering how i would go about using ndiswrapper to get online? [11:02] hi5_, or if there is another wifi spot nearby, i connect to that and then when i connect to my wifi, it connects properly [11:02] hi5_, but this time there is a shorter time out === essskaypeell is now known as yeahuyen [11:03] histo: Are you there? [11:04] phoenix_, check power management [11:04] phoenix_, check power management and set up [11:05] phoenix_, i make all 'never' [11:05] phoenix and even with rmmod of the module and then insmod it? does it work again? [11:05] other than reboot though [11:06] hi5_, i'm sorry, i didn't understand that [11:06] hi O.o [11:06] phoenix with rmmod - from sudo - you remove a drviver module - you will have one for the wifi card [11:06] then you do a insmod for the same on...maybe works [11:07] it's like a plug and play reactivation [11:07] ok,how can i find out which module to rmmod? [11:07] post me the result of lspci in private [11:07] and lets see [11:08] usually it has the name of the card chipset -eg broadcom like [11:08] have someone a same problem when i --> Moonlight in Chromium doesn't work (plug-ins) ? [11:08] so no one can help me with raid setup? [11:08] console says lscpi commandnot found....what should i apt-get install? [11:09] phoenix impossible, write sudo lspci [11:09] it's basic software [11:09] ok done, i wrote lscpi instead of lspci :P [11:09] lol [11:10] anyone familiar with nm-applet? mine claims to be running but it doesn't display anywhere [11:10] post me the screen as soon as you can [11:10] ddilinger, restart it [11:11] rumpe1: i tried killing and restarting nm-applet, no go., also tried log out/log back in, [11:11] got it? [11:11] no [11:11] wait [11:11] ddilinger, any warnings/errors when started from terminal? [11:12] check file transfers [11:12] rumpe1: just a notice about 'DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0" [11:13] ddilinger, then i would suggest, killall nm-applet && sudo service network-manager restart && nm-applet & disown [11:13] can i play the games like pes 11 with ubuntu [11:13] where is the sources list located [11:14] huhiamlost: /etc/apt/ === wallace_ is now known as talntid [11:14] and /etc/apt/sources.list.d [11:14] if i have windows 7 working on my wireless broadcom, is there anyway to use those exact same drivers and firmware with ndiswrapper? [11:15] rumpe1: hmm, still shows the old state message, and another one: 'DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb', but still no applet. I do have the 'notification area' in my panel, although theres nothing in it [11:17] lol so no one? [11:17] Hi all, I have a problem with terminal, sometimes when I run a command that then requires input (like a password) the terminal prints the "Enter password" text but then does not let me enter anything and will just carry on to say password failed. Hope that makes sense, any one have similar problems? [11:18] how can I tell rsync not to back up any file called .parentlock in any directory under /home/me/? I have a working exclude file. [11:18] how can i use wireless with hp 6735b [11:18] Hey Myrtti, thanks for the help again, I found the logrotate script for apache and I've got it running logs through webalizer before it rotates them and emailing me ones older than 12 months before it deletes them. [11:18] WillWill56: great :-) [11:18] "device not ready (firmware missing)" [11:18] Seeya later! [11:19] oakbox: you will see no input when entering passwords at the terminal so enter them correctly :P === claudia is now known as zumwoifi [11:20] morning everyone [11:20] @iflema Hi, I know it does not show a password, but I dont even get the chance to type anything (its like my enter key is pressed down constantly) but I have checked that, and I get the error over different machines as well... [11:21] Anyone know why cp -rf large files takes along time (transfer rate)? [11:22] Dumb_Jonny, depends how large they are [11:22] rumpe1: such as a gig [11:22] Dumb_Jonny: depends on are you copying between partitions, devices and USB/Firewire ports [11:22] Dumb_Jonny, and which filesystems are involved ... which interface is used .. and so on... [11:23] <3 ubuntu [11:24] rumpe1: Myrtti: I'm going to try my method killing X and trying large files...it seems like gnome nautilus can copy a large file to a fat32 usb device faster than cli [11:25] I want to see if killing X speeds up the transfer [11:25] Dumb_Jonny, highly doubtable [11:25] rumpe1: I thought so too, but no...nautilus is faster sadly [11:25] Dumb_Jonny, perhaps it flushes the buffer later... you have to unmount the device for comparison, i guess [11:26] rumpe1: its odd, but restarting network-manager with nm-applet still running caused it to appear, but shutting down nm-applet and restarting it after network-manager restarted it was still hidden [11:26] ddilinger, hmm... strange ... [11:27] oakbox: your using sudo? accross different machines yousay.... via ssh or different installs of ubuntu? [11:28] why isn't tty-clock not in the Ubuntu repos? [11:29] Hello [11:29] I need some help! [11:29] hi Hugo__ [11:29] Hugo__: ask away dude [11:29] Thanks [11:29] I have a Toshiba Satellite L655 [11:29] " wireless device not ready ( firmware missnig) " How can i solve this [11:30] With my old version of Ubuntu 10.10 the wireless would just work on the install [11:30] I had to wipe ubuntu off my computer [11:30] Hugo__: and now your wifi doesn't work now? [11:30] Ariza: run: dmesg | less after a reboot and read the boot, it will tell you the expected firmware filename [11:30] Yeah [11:30] i love the less command [11:30] i dont have the twin panel option in my browser [11:30] Ariza: it's probably in the package - linux-firmware but you may need to download it manually and put it in /lib/firmware [11:30] Hugo__: so?

[11:30] Hugo__: might to install the xp driver to make your wifi device work [11:31] !broadcom | Hugo__ [11:31] Hugo__: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [11:31] The xp driver? [11:31] Hugo__: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk [11:31] I don't have any internet on Ubuntu [11:31] Hugo__: ndisgtk is a wifi driver wrapper [11:31] None at all, so no sudo for me. [11:31] iflema, it can be anything that requires input, so if I do a cmd with sudo or typeing my ssh password or even if I wanted to create a new user and enter user details at the command line... I have experienced it on ubuntu 10.04 9.10 and 8.04 (if I remember right) [11:31] does the gnome desktop have to do with the twin pannel option y file browser ? [11:32] Oh okay..

[11:33] quick question - i have a programme which opens up 30 windows. I place them in various workspaces. I close the programme, re open it - and all the windows appear in just 2 workspaces = 20 minutes to rearrange the whole lot again. Is there any way in which I can pre code / save the target windows to target workspaces. Thanks [11:33] alien_, press f3 [11:34] Yeah, it did work. [11:34] I never had to enable the broadcom driver before [11:34] My wireless would just work [11:34] Hugo__: I was going to say just download it from the repos and put it on a flash drive and install it with dpkg [11:34] Then I reinstall and it doesn't work..

[11:35] rumpe1, is not working and also i dont have the option in view wich tells me that F3 is the button i need to press for twin pannel like i had before [11:35] No, I've tried connecting it to the internet with an ethernet cable but that didn't work either. [11:35] Hugo__: use a wired connection and get fully updated, may help [11:35] Wired connection doesn't work either :/ [11:36] Hugo__: even with lan no luck? i think your network system is broken [11:36] But it couldn't be.. [11:36] Hugo__: what do you see when you "sudo iwconfig" [11:36] try with the recovery mode at boot [11:36] Hugo__: reboot with the cable connected, may help [11:36] Because I dual with Windows 7 and it works in win7 [11:36] hi is there a passible way to get auto login in Xchat [11:36] lo no wireless extensions [11:37] hmm [11:37] eth0 no wireless extensions === root is now known as Guest72419 [11:37] I'll look in /ect to find you a answer Hugo__ [11:37] Larriv, ctrl-s, edit server ...

[11:39] dosydoo1234, Hi, what are the windows? If they are terminals you can add the size and pos as options in the cmd line when opening it.

[11:48] hi [11:48] if I have squashfs errors, that means that i have hardware errors, right? [11:48] hi [11:48] Hi. Are there cmdline tool similar to wget which support getting files from both http:// and file:// ? [11:49] how do I mount an encrypted home directory from an external hard drive which is mounted on /media/disk/ ? [11:49] g0th: depends on the encryption [11:49] sveinse: what does file@// access ? [11:49] hi, anyone know how to get the ASUS p8p67 onboard NIC (intel 82579) working with ubuntu? [11:49] can i just get gnome with out all that other extra stuff like,empathy and many more other unusefull stuff for me ? === yen-thao is now known as y_t [11:50] Hi there.

[11:51] Myrtti: I never specified any encryption type so you can assume the default for everything [11:51] !panel [11:51] ActionParsnip: a local file. The user sets either an http:// URL for remote download or an local path with the file:// . Similar to the way git repo path are specified [11:51] !resetpanel [11:51] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [11:51] thats it :) [11:51] g0th: did you choose to encrypt your home folder at installation, or did you choose to encrypt the partition at partition phase? [11:51] ActionParsnip: and how do I add a user, to sudoers group? [11:51] sveinse: if it's local you can just specify the path to the file [11:52] user: visudo [11:52] Thanks a lot. That worked! [11:52] ?? [11:52] ok [11:52] here, i'll message you [11:52] user: usermod -a -G admin username [11:52] ActionParsnip: I don't know in advance what the user will set, and I hoped linux had some one-line command that could handle both [11:52] Myrtti: the home folder at installation [11:52] user: prefix with sudo [11:53] sveinse: it should as far as I know, if you are wgetting a local file it should just copy it (test it and see) [11:53] ActionParsnip: No. wget sais "unsupported scheme `file`" [11:53] ActionParsnip: I guess that works too, also the sudo group [11:55] on ubuntu 8.04, is syslog the place where ssh connection refused log stays? [11:55] user: either add yourself to the admin/sudo group or add yourself to visudo [11:55] Dumb_Jonny: my user has sudo access and is not in the sudo group [11:55] marcuy: probably /var/log [11:55] ActionParsnip: look at your sudoers file [11:55] ActionParsnip: your probably in the admins group [11:56] ActionParsnip, what file? [11:56] Dumb_Jonny: it's you're and yes I am [11:56] marcuy: not sure, let me check [11:56] can I read some docs on visudo? I am not willing to find this by trial and error [11:56] sorry about my english [11:56] s'ok [11:56] can someone please help me? [11:57] ActionParsnip, thanks [11:57] I am running out of time [11:57] Dumb_Jonny: but i'm not in the sudo group, although it does exist === Cain` is now known as Cain [11:57] smart report said that my disk will not make it more than 24h and that was more than 24h ago [11:57] ActionParsnip: alright then... [11:57] marcuy: /var/log/auth.log is the ssh log [11:57] Dumb_Jonny: I mean I do not know where exactly to add self [11:57] there [11:57] oakbox: the programme is a wine programme - do you know where the option is on compiz ? [11:57] in visudo [11:57] I am simply trying to backup some files from my home directory [11:57] !visudo [11:57] .. [11:58] user: if you add the user to the admin group, it will have sudo access next time it logs on [11:58] hi [11:58] oakbox: the programme is a wine programme, do you know where the option is on compiz ? [11:58] ActionParsnip: you can be in either admin or sudo or you can add yourself directly into your sudoers file in /ect/sudoers but using "visudo" [11:58] there [11:58] ActionParsnip, and how do I do that? [11:58] goth which smart parameter? does it complains about sector reallocation count or not? if not it is just fine - maybe a fake warning [11:58] I have mounted the harddrive on /media/disk but I cant access the home directory because it is an encrypted one [11:58] g'day! [11:58] Dumb_Jonny: i'd use the group, its more graceful than messing with visudo which can make sudo not work [11:58] user: now what ActionParsnip said before about adding yourself in the group will work very well [11:58] user: I gave the command earlier [11:58] And how does 'admin' differ from 'sudoer'? [11:58] i got a server with six disk [11:58] raide [11:58] I followed the guide on the net but I never got a useable result [11:59] hello, i'm using ubuntu maverick netbook edition.

[11:59] user: the users in the admin group are allowed to use sudo [11:59] how to check which using cli [11:59] ok < ActionParsnip> user: usermod -a -G admin username , I see [11:59] which one is fault ? [11:59] dosydoo1234, Place Windows option under Windows Management in the Compiz Config Settings Manager. if you dont already have the ccsm installed you can install it with: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager... Hope that helps, as I say not actually tried it myself [11:59] why can't I just make chroot /media/disk/ and then invoke the mount command? [11:59] somehow it complains about /dev/null [11:59] hello [11:59] user: that's the one, you will need to change username to the actual username and the command will need to be ran by a user whom can already use sudo [11:59] i could use some help. i'm looking for an application that will help me know what stuff i'm keeping on all my external drives. any ideas on such a utility? [11:59] ActionParsnip: if you are 100% don't know what your doing, I'd say no, don't do it. But if you are in a room of Ubuntuers than worry free [11:59] i got a pc with 6 disk [12:00] goth but that what is the concern with smart warnings? [12:00] stuntman_mike: nautilus? [12:00] i dont get the point [12:00] Dumb_Jonny: its just more graceful, and considering the target audience of ubuntu I'd stick to the easiest solution [12:00] /usr/bin/ecryptfs-mount-private: 34: cannot create /dev/null: Permission denied [12:00] ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly [12:00] 6 disk raid one of the disk is faulty how to check [12:00] it gives this message [12:00] as cli [12:00] which is one is faulty ? [12:00] RudyValencia [12:00] ActionParsnip: your right, I really don't want to fight with you over a silly thing like that [12:00] k tl ? [12:01] oakbox: thank you [12:01] user, ah... sorry i mean offline use, so to speka. so instead of plugging a disk in i could check the program what disk i need first [12:01] there's a thousand ways to do one thing in Ubuntu, that's the beauty of it [12:01] goth i dont know, however you can just ignore the dead drive warning [12:01] but keep an eye on reallocated sectore counts [12:02] one further question - time applet - i need 2 timezones on my time clock applet one for UK and one for US - however the applet only allows me to have one zone anything out there that i can add to the top applet bar to have 2 time zones displayed ?

[12:10] i have ubuntu installed yesss [12:10] hey guys would running a low cpu intensive task every minute in cron be much to worry about? [12:10] Hugo__: with a kernel that supports that...yes...but it might not [12:10] I also installed an ATI driver, but normally it would have come up with my broadcom sta one, but it didn't come up. [12:10] Under Additional Drivers [12:10] I solved my problem alone thx for nothing [12:10] alien_, then for the most part you already have gnome desktop environment [12:11] i dont have gnome [12:11] i dont have twin pannel [12:11] jdjd [12:11] how can i sintall gnome desktop ?

[12:13] alien_: Good choose ;) [12:13] Because you'll need to chmod the directory. [12:13] hugo_, i didnt get you! [12:14] join #css [12:14] You need to chmod it, that means give yourself permissions [12:14] neiln: you don't have the permissions to save there [12:14] Go into terminal and type in 'sudo chmod 777 directory' with out the quotation marks [12:15] oh guys i need help do any of you know Perl [12:15] sudo chmod 777 opt/ [12:15] Dumb_Jonny, look the output of that command ; http://imagebin.org/132148 [12:15] Hugo__: not trying to bash on you, but just a simple sudo cp -r *file* /opt/ would have do [12:16] test [12:16] Oh sorry, it's just I chmodded a directory for my lampp server. [12:16] And that's just what I did.. [12:16] Narcoleptic_Devi: #perl might be a more appropriate channel [12:16] And it was installed in the opt directory. Also, no offence taken :) [12:16] dumb_, hw can i get the permissions?? [12:17] having the /opt/ directory might be good if you don't have complete access to it [12:17] neiln: try in a terminal "gksudo nautilus" if you need to save there [12:18] that's easy and is graceful [12:18] in www.ubuntuforums.org how to search the forums staff? (looking for one staff member - don't know the name -)? [12:19] In order to make sure a certain amount of scripts will be executed on bootup, would it be best to write an init.d script or to put an @reboot in the crontab, or some other method? [12:20] s3r3n1t7: the init script or rc.local ? [12:20] user: sudo apt-get and the -f (Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place) [12:20] though rc.local is part of the old init system, so your own init script is probably nicer [12:20] acicula_, the ones that you can execute with /etc/init.d/* [12:20] mmm I know nautilus twin panels are in 11.04 can someone check here for maverick? [12:21] s3r3n1t7: what kind of script are you talking about? [12:21] There are twin panels in 10.10.

[12:22] Well, not private chat but like @name [12:22] Hugo__, are you using xchat? [12:22] s3r3n1t7: i'd say yes to the init.d/ and you'll need to check the /ect/rc* files too [12:22] Hugo: just type the name... 8-) [12:22] I'm on webchat atm. [12:22] Hugo__: try: /msg nick hi [12:23] Dumb_Jonny, aight, i'll have a look [12:23] Hugo__: remember to ask first [12:23] ? [12:23] Oh right, I know what you mean. [12:23] Not to just start private chatting someone. [12:25] s3r3n1t7: man update-rc.d [12:26] Dumb_Jonny, i'm fairly sure i can write the scripts, just wasn't entirely sure wether crontab and @reboot would be better or not then init [12:26] is there any way to restrict access to particular path in CVS repository ? [12:26] cool [12:27] s3r3n1t7: or you can reference it in /etc/rc.local (above the exit 0 line) [12:27] the thing is i want to creat an IRC app but i do not know what measures to take in order to begin [12:27] s3r3n1t7: i meant that as a friendly suggestion...not RTFM [12:28] Dumb_Jonny, ofcourse, i didn't take it as a RTFM, i was merely explaining what I was mostly looking for. ActionParsnip, thank you. [12:28] hi folks, fedora has a program I believe called disk utility in the live boot cd. I think I checked if ubuntus latest live cd has the same thing. does anyone know if it does? === y_t is now known as yen-thao [12:28] you all use ubuntu?

[12:50] HugoGF which ubuntu version [12:50] 10.10 [12:50] HugoGF: maybe you need proprietary drivers? [12:50] HugoGF have you installed restricted Drivers?

I have sudo su - my self before installing a software on my Ubuntu 10. The ./configure step goes well, but the sudo make has no makefile found. I have noticed that this works on another Ubuntu 10, but not on my desktop Ubuntu. There are no errors with the software in other words, but with the procedure here. What am I doing wrong? [12:51] Well, when the driver used to show up in the proprietary drivers it was called Broadcom STA Wireless ... [12:51] Rogerr: you don't need to "sudo su" to "configure" or to "make" usually sudo is only required for the "make install" step [12:52] Rogerr: you will end up with lots of files owned by root in your home directory which is less than ideal [12:52] I see, but what is it that is wrong if the makefile is missing? Can I show you the output from the makefile? [12:52] HugoGF i had the same problem in ubuntu 10.04....and i solved it using this link "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx" [12:53] HugoGF search for and install bcmwl-kernel-source and itll show up under additional drivers [12:53] HugoGF: Try to reboot.

How do I find out the fastest? Btw, the raid array is listed as "optimal" in bios.

Although it happens more often when doing disk intensive things. I tried booting from a live OS to test the filesystem and the server even froze from there, [13:27] Amivit: so all we can do is shoot in the dark ... looks like a hardware issue if happens with two different OS's 8 kernel version or whatever) [13:27] Guessin no one has heard of it.... Anywho, when i run the game it lags really hard, like 3.5fps. and all i ever get is turn it into openGL mode but there is no way to do that in the client.. [13:28] junichi: is windows game run in wine? checked appdb? #winehq channel ? [13:28] No its the linux version of the client. [13:28] Yes exactly. The thing is it is a production server and my time span will be low when given the chance to take a look at it. So just trying to plan ahead on where I should start. Maybe move the harddrive including the pci raid controller to a different computer and see if it freezes there ? [13:29] Would be the type of linux im using maybe?

As I Just had to fsck a corrupted ext4 partition [13:43] Krigo, backup... and i would recommend a separate /home-partition for your next installation [13:43] Krigo: install from a live cd over the top, and choose "manual partitioing" and make sure you _untick_ formatting and it will remove everything except /home [13:43] Ronnie, sendmail? [13:43] Krigo: Yes, it should be no problem, although it may be a little tricky if you use encrypted home directories or something. [13:43] rumpe2: no need, the installer supports install over the top and keep /home [13:43] that's good, so it'll keep stuff like home/ac/Documents? :) [13:43] k0d3g3ar: is sendmail zero-conf? [13:43] user____: AFAIK dns information propagation can take up to three days.

That's an opportunity for open relay spambots if I've ever heard of one [13:44] Where are the settings from System > Preferences > Keyboard > Layouts > Options stored?

Is there a way I can control the display brightness without them? Using nvidia-blkms [13:49] rumpe2: or dmrc xinitrc etc [13:49] ah, k [13:49] Just wondering, does reinstalling without formatting preserve the whole contents of home, or just the contents of documents, pictures, etc? [13:49] rumpe2: insmod: but those are just workarounds anyway, would like to fix it the right way.. [13:49] Krigo: the full home [13:50] That's good, it'd be annoying to get all my downloads again.

You can customize if you need to , or may have to if you had strange partitions to begin with (doesn't sound like you did) [13:51] FCGreg: It's just that most of my ubuntu partition corrupted, and after repairing it with fscking it refuses to properly run, but the contents of my home is perfect.

[13:57] carl-eric: also, what file system are you using underneath ecrypt-fs? some file systems have problems with large directories/trees all by themselves. [13:58] FCGreg: uh... I think I didn't change the default. Probably ext4 (not at home right now where I could check, but it's definitely either ext3 or ext4.) I didn't have this problem on my previous machine, which was plain ext3 without eCryptfs. [13:58] excuse me, I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 trough pen drive but when I boot the pc, a black screen shows this massage: Unknown keyboard in configuration file. boot: _ Does anybody knows what can i do? [13:58] hello [13:58] carl-eric, my quad core on a 1 tb sata is pretty quick but im not messing with an encrypted partition. [13:58] carl-eric: unless you were running this configuration prior to ecrypt i would test in the same confirmation without using ecrypt with the same underlying filesystem to ensure your raid or something else isn't causing a slowdown [13:59] FCGreg, the RAID is the linux kernel raid set up by the Ubuntu installer. The previous machine was the same kind of setup, only slower disks and less cores ;-) [13:59] carl-eric: i saw a bug report recently about ext4 filesystems with certain types of files in them having slowdown issues (e.g. large numbers of files combined with files of certain types). maybe you're running into this issue?

[14:00] Um_cara_qualquer: how did you put the ISO on the USB device? [14:00] Anyone know how to enable smooth ipod/iphone-like continues scrolling??? [14:00] I've written a php script that has an exit code of either 0 or 1. How can I determine what that value is in my bash script? [14:00] carl-eric: i am still using ext3 on my setup. not sure if that is affecting you or not. i don't remember all of the details, sorry [14:00] skilz - in what application? [14:00] Nanoha: i'd ask in #bash [14:01] ActionParsnip, I used gparted to format fat32... then usb-creator to install the iso in the device [14:01] Tamale_: System wide [14:01] Um_cara_qualquer: ok, did you test the ISO? [14:01] Nanoha: if [ "0" = "$?" ]; then .... [14:01] skilz - I don't think there are any scroll settings system-wide [14:01] skilz - there are settings in each browser, however. I know chrome and firefox each have them [14:01] thiefy_: are you thieven [14:01] Hey, I just typed in alsamixer in terminal and the S/PDIF mixers are on 0, can someone type that into their terminal and tell me what they get? [14:01] ActionParsnip, well... i don't know how to do that O_o [14:01] Tamale_: ok, what about google chrome? [14:01] skils - Have you checked stackexchange? [14:01] !md5 | Um_cara_qualquer [14:01] Um_cara_qualquer: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [14:02] skilz - https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/cccpiddacjljmfbbgeimpelpndgpoknn [14:02] ActionParsnip, alright... hang on [14:02] Mr_Copro_Encepha: so, what that is saying is if "$1" is my exit code (I'm assuming that's automatically determined by bash), and I'm comparing that to the value of "0" then ... do condition. Right? [14:03] Still having problems with a dual-monitor setup and Ubuntu 10.10 - I'd like to rotate one of my monitors, but after doing so and rebooting, the whole machine freezes! Have to reset then use recovery mode. I've tried lots of different xorg.conf configuration changes, none of which seem to fix the freezing problem upon startup. Please help! [14:03] My mouse is messed up. Right-click grabs a window (does not click in it), center-click resizes it (does not paste), etc. This after a 3 year old decided to help out. Anyone have any ideas how to get back to normalcy? [14:03] it can it can access my data on all web sites [14:03] does that mean I can get snooped on my eBanking? [14:03] FCGreg: I saw a bug yesterday (can't find the link right now, still looking) that said that ecryptfs needs to read some bytes from every file for stat() calls, which is what some directory scanning applications do for every file. It was said there that for big directories that would be a serious performance hit. It's marked as WONTFIX, since it's due to ecryptfs's design. I'm actually looking for alternatives to ecryptfs [14:03] Mr_Copro_Encepha: sounds like alt is stuck [14:03] Mr_Copro_Encepha: Check your keyboard [14:03] ActionParsnip, this is what md5sum showed: 59d15a16ce90c8ee97fa7c211b7673a8 ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso [14:03] Nanoha: "$?" not "$1". $? is the exit code of the last command run. [14:04] Mr_Copro_Encepha: awesome! thanks! [14:04] FCGreg: I looked at just whole disk encryption (that works fine on a different machine) but that won't isolate different accounts from each other [14:04] Anyone with linux sound/studio experience ever look into a software interface to replicate an aviom? http://www.aviom.com/Aviom-Products-1/Mixers-1/A-16II-Personal-Mixer [14:04] can someone please help with my xorg.conf configuration? [14:04] Tamale_: Checked, with xev and xinput. No keys are reported as "down" [14:04] !hashes | um- [14:04] um-: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [14:05] Mr_Copro_Encepha: Hm.. have you tried checking xev and xinput for the mouse itself? [14:05] I'm rather stuck here... [14:05] !hashes | Mr_Copro_Encepha [14:05] Mr_Copro_Encepha: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [14:05] carl-eric: i understand. that is true, and it *does* depend on how the affected application is calling the directory. to work around that you will need any encrypted filesystem solution that does NOT do file-by-file encryption in userspace. in other words, you will need something that gives you an encrypted container for your home directory and mounts it for you. perhaps something with luks integration. [14:05] Yes, but not sure how to read these.. [14:05] Mr_Copro_Encepha: Do you have another computer you can compare them to? [14:05] ActionParsnip, it's the 4º up down [14:06] FCGreg, that's what I thought. Is it possible to set up e.g. luks so it will be mounted upon login (maybe with pam_mount)? [14:06] I can fish out a laptop I think. [14:06] Tamale_: I can fish out a laptop I think. [14:07] carl-eric: i haven't checked integrated solutions like this for Linux lately, but you basically want something like filevault on the Mac platform. [14:07] Tamale_: I'll try that and pop back in if I still can't figure it out. [14:07] Um_cara_qualquer: what does that mean? Does the hash match? [14:07] What's the thing I type in terminal to get an all permissions nautilus? [14:07] gksu... [14:07] ActionParsnip: I'm not sure I follow. [14:08] HugoGF: gksudo nautilus [14:08] ActionParsnip, it matches with the 4º up down [14:08] FCGreg: I have dealt with pam_mount before, also with luks, and also truecrypt. Individually, I can handle them easily :-) I just don't know how to do auto-mounted home directories with pam_mount [14:08] Mr_Copro_Encepha: Mines literally says "Button one" [14:08] err Button 1 [14:08] carl-eric: maybe you can search for "filevault ubuntu" or similar to get some results. (sorry I haven't researched those solutions in a while... in the past i had to do that with my own scripted solutions) [14:08] Mr_Copro_Encepha: compare the generated hash to the one on the site. Does it match? [14:08] make sure yours does as well [14:08] thanks [14:08] FCGreg: Ok, thank you, will do [14:08] ActionParsnip, it's what the md5sum does right?! [14:08] vega- Thanks! :) [14:08] vega-: Thanks! [14:08] Okay, how do I do it? [14:09] carl-eric: you're welcome. good luck with it [14:09] ActionParsnip: Yes. All good on the install. Was working fine till a 3 year old helped out. [14:11] Does anyone know of an app that can download streamed video, e.g. YouTube .flv's? === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [14:11] meco: zamzar.com [14:12] !info youtube-dl | meco [14:12] meco: youtube-dl (source: youtube-dl): download videos from youtube. In component universe, is extra. Version 2010.08.04-1 (maverick), package size 28 kB, installed size 140 kB [14:12] ok :-) [14:13] Hi all. I'm setting up a machine running 10.10, and I'd like to set up a communal scratch space where all the users can read and write all the files without having to change permissions everytime something is added. I think I'm clear on how to do this from the command line manually, but am I reinventing the wheel? Is there already a directory for this sort of thing by default? [14:13] Tamale_: using xev of xinput? [14:13] ccw: no there isn't [14:13] ccw: /tmp ? [14:14] "users can read and write all the files" <-- that is not /tmp [14:14] dear supporters, I am runnning Lucid64bit, and I need a specific file from the Karmic release... where could I get it? [14:14] Mr_Copro: I had in mind to make this a semi-permanent dropbox. Isn't /tmp cleared out periodically? [14:14] ccw: no cause each user has it's own 'uname' settings which determine default permissions on files [14:14] hh [14:14] produnis: download the package from packages.ubuntu.com and extract it with dpkg -x [14:14] freakynl: 'umask' [14:14] rson: yea my bad :) [14:14] thx vega [14:14] ccw: vega- is right, all user's cant read. [14:15] hmm... isn't this a common problem? How do people usually handle it? [14:15] ccw: you can force permissions from the higher directory iirc. Did this on a webserver once [14:16] I have not working bluetooth device in my acer aspire 1551. In the bottom part of netbook writes "Bluetooth module Foxconn BCM92046". Can i use it in linux? [14:16] I can't google it, because I get many pages with trash sites [14:16] ccw: you can also set the group sticky bit, and make sure all users are in that group. Don't remember the syntax, though. [14:16] ccw: try man chmod, it's in there somewhere I think. [14:17] Mr_Copro_Encepha, chmod g+s ... as i remember [14:17] yeah, I think that's what I'd come up with [14:17] It's very dissapointing that no one has been able to help with my X11 config. I thought having to do things manually like this was a thing of the past anyway! [14:17] rumpe2: and you'll still have to set the umask for users, right? [14:17] seems like every time I do this sort of thing, I find out 5 min later that ubuntu has some slick polished version of my crappy solution, so I figured I'd check [14:18] Tamale_: what was the issue? [14:18] Tamale_: ask the question again [14:18] My computer keeps crashing when starting up.. completely freezing. [14:18] i hate kde network manager -- really rally [14:18] just trying to rotate one of my two flat panels.. [14:19] too bad [14:19] Tamale_: what do you see on the screen? [14:19] it's blank [14:19] I have to reboot into the recovery console to troubleshoot [14:19] Tamale_: can you ssh/telnet in? [14:19] Mr_Copro: I didn't think I'd need umask though. Do I? I just create a group that owns the scratch directory, add the users I want to that group, and maybe a symlink to the scratch directory in everybody's home directories if I'm feeling magnanimous, right? [14:19] nope, nothing is responsive - I can't even use alt-sysreq-b [14:20] it's a very hard freeze [14:20] is /etc/motd a config file? [14:20] message of the day [14:20] if i were you i would reinstall my system [14:21] yeah, but does it get overwritten if i customize it? [14:21] hi-there: find somewhere else to play. [14:21] Tamale_: when it's blank. I had a problem like that on one of my laptops with the nvidia driver, alt-sysreg-b did not work, but I could ssh in. Otherwise the machine looked dead. It was a dual GPU setup though. Any of this sound familiar? [14:21] vega:I didn't think so [14:21] This is a single GPU with dual outputs [14:21] and I've tried ssh [14:21] caps lock doesn't do anything either [14:21] and there are no useful messages in the log upon the next boot [14:22] the last line is the one of loading fglrx === matthew is now known as Guest48038 [14:22] hello everyone [14:22] hi [14:22] maybe you want to give yorself a different nickname [14:23] ccw: I don't know; it depends on the default umask. The group sticky only sets the GID of files, so if the file is still rw------- and not rw-rw---- it won't do what you want. [14:23] Would I have better luck with the open-source radeon driver? [14:23] Tamale: I finally got to the bottom of a similar graphics snafu, so just to check: have you by chance looked at the graphics card itself? Exploding capacitors cause some really odd problems [14:23] it's a brand new machine [14:23] dell optiplex [14:24] I'm having trouble getting youtube-dl to work. In the documentation it reads "Try again several times and contact me if the problem persists." Except I don't see any contact information for the app developer. Can any one help? [14:24] hi, can anyone tell where is cert.pem located [14:24] but no, I haven't checked [14:24] I'm positive it's a rotation / configuration issue.. because if I run in a normal side-by-side mode it works fine for weeks [14:24] clarezoe: tryed a search? [14:24] clarezoe: sudo updatedb;locate -b cert.pem [14:24] hi all. Apache2. I have a website: www.ayeka.net. I want the same page to come up if I type in the www. or not (ayeka.net). Right now, I get some default page that lists directories if I don't have the www. How can I fix this? [14:25] Nahoha - #apache ? [14:25] Tamale_: And you've tried to remove and regenerate the xorg.conf (backing it up of course) in recovery mode? [14:25] yeah, I tried locate, but no results [14:25] clarezoe, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=cert.pem&mode=exactfilename&suite=maverick&arch=any [14:25] Mr_Copro_Encepha: yes, several times [14:25] Mr_Copro_Encepha: I've even had success rotating with xrandr [14:25] but of course, that doesn't work when i reboot [14:26] If it's a dell, I'd definitely check. When I discovered the first one, went around the office to the various dells, and we've now got a collection of (no kidding) about 10 cards with blown caps. Not all were malfunctioning, others only intermittently. Apparently, it's one more annoying thing to rule out [14:26] thanks sam-_- , it is a ca certificate for my wireless connect at school [14:26] Tamale_: Maybe the hack here is to put xrandr into your startup applications under gdm. I don't have any better suggestions now. [14:27] clarezoe, so not from ubuntu? [14:27] it says /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem, but I don't have pki under etc [14:27] hello everyon! what does "mirc colors" in xchat do? only "local colors" seem to change the interface colors. [14:27] clarezoe, then the specific package isn't installed [14:27] Mr_Copro - I thought about that - but it needs to be run as root, right [14:27] sam-_-, the instruction says gnome, so I suppose it is buildin with gnome? [14:28] Nanoha: Look up ServerAlias [14:28] clarezoe, i guess you have to get the cert. from your school [14:28] Hi , I'm trying to install ibm rational software architect on a 64bit ubuntu 10.10 but I got this error : /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: classe ELF errata: ELFCLASS64 [14:28] Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so , I also installed getlibs and with it I installed gvfs i386 but the launchpad (installer) keeps loading the 64bit lib, what can I do ? I also tried exporting GTK 32 bit path .... [14:28] I'm having trouble getting youtube-dl to work. In the documentation it reads "Try again several times and contact me if the problem persists." Except I don't see any contact information for the app developer. Can any one help? [14:28] Ok I found it, it says fedora, but it should be somewhere in ubuntu too [14:29] meco : which version of youtube-dl ? [14:29] Mr_Copro_Encepha: Its already there. This problem started when I reinstalled ubuntu and apache2. [14:29] Tamale_: Not sure, but you can add an entry in /etc/sudoers to allow just xrandr to be run by your user with NOPASSWD. [14:29] magowiz: don't seem to be an ubuntu-related support issue .. [14:29] magowiz: 2008.01.24 [14:29] Mr_Copro_Encepha: one last question. Is there a proper place in the file structure to put something like a scratch directory? [14:29] magowiz: seems a bad file, or a bad compiled either [14:29] maybe [14:30] meco : your version is too old, you should get 2010.12.09, try at pkgs.org [14:30] Hi all. Anybody know of a way to have arrow-key-navigation when using ALT+SHIFT window switching? [14:30] Nanoha: if you reinstalled by compiling (as apposed to using apt-get) your config files will be in a different directory and the old ones will not be the ones in use. [14:30] magowiz: It's the one Synaptic gave me. I just installed it. [14:30] ccw: Not that I know of. Here we use /scratch locally. [14:30] hi5 : so what can I do to solve this? [14:30] i used apt-get and then copied my config files from a back up i had [14:31] have someone a same problem as I: Moonlight doesn't work good in Chromium ? [14:31] meco: I know : the version in ubuntu repository is outdated, youtube changed on 9/12/2010 [14:31] Nanoha, hmm. Not sure then. [14:32] magowiz: Is it a general problem that repository apps aren't updated? [14:32] erkan^: err does it work good somewhere else then? :P [14:32] Nanoha, the previous install was via apt-get? === me_ is now known as Guest86946 [14:33] thiefy: are you also known as thieven? [14:33] meco : I don't know, anyhow you can get a newer package at pkgs.org and install it with gdebi or dpkg -i [14:33] err ??? freakynl [14:33] OK, gotta go and try and fix my mouse. Thanks for the chats. [14:33] I need help installing ubuntu...... [14:33] Mr_Copro_Encepha: I believe it was [14:33] SEX [14:33] I still don't understand why I have to reboot every time I change my monitor config :( [14:33] magowiz: Could it be a problem that I'm using ubuntu 8.04? [14:33] !tell Rook about language [14:33] Rook, please see my private message [14:34] bsdckjl [14:34] locate libgvfsdbus.so returns : /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so [14:34] /usr/lib32/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so [14:34] hey will someone help me install ubuntu [14:34] meco : also in 10.10 repo youtube-dl is outdated [14:34] SEX [14:34] trying to move (re-arrange) panel, but application icons shift over to the far right and get in the way, anyone? [14:34] Rook: stop it. [14:34] Jeez [14:34] friendly crowd [14:34] skutr3: which is the problem ? [14:34] anyways, I need help installing packages offline? [14:34] magowiz: I don't see any available version for 8.04 at pkgs.org [14:35] !offline | Rook [14:35] Rook: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD [14:35] why not install ubuntu 10.10 [14:35] magowiz: i do not know how to partition.... lol im a noob.... [14:35] meco : why do you use 8.04 ? [14:35] yeah i tired [14:35] skutr3: in your system do you have windows installed ? [14:35] who here has a digidesign mbox 2 audio device and want it to work in linux? [14:35] magowiz: My DVD player is broken so I cannot upgrade [14:35] magowiz: can i open gparted and take a screenshot and send it to you? and yes i have windows [14:35] trying to move (re-arrange) panel, but application icons shift over to the far right and get in the way, anyone? [14:36] meco: you can upgrade from web FWIK [14:36] hello [14:36] I have [14:36] a folder of pkgs [14:36] i did dpkg -i * [14:36] i still get a few errors though [14:36] quit [14:36] I'm trying to install LAMP [14:36] skutr3 please post the image to imagehack.us [14:36] hello [14:36] magowiz: I'm not aware of that. Could you point me to some instructions of how to do that? [14:36] my 编译器不能用阿 [14:36] What should I write in fstab to mount an LVM encrypted partition when booting? [14:37] 什么编译器 [14:37] magowiz: i dont know either, but did you always had that problems? [14:37] no one to help? [14:37] sighs [14:37] magowiz: do you mind if its imagur i dont like image shack? [14:37] trying to move (re-arrange) panel, but application icons shift over to the far right and get in the way, anyone? [14:37] aoeu: lvm-encryption's setup should do all changes [14:37] aoeu: how did you do your encryption? [14:37] livingdaylight: unlock all items, or you could remove all items and add as you wish [14:38] mego : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes take a look [14:38] ok [14:38] skutr3: no problem [14:38] gobbe: I used the ubuntu alternate installation CD in a previous installation [14:38] ActionJohnny, i have unlocked and they move except for Xchat icon and network manager icon [14:38] aoeu: so are you doing new installation or what? [14:38] gobbe: But now I re-install ubuntu with the alternate and it does ask for the password in the boot [14:38] gobbe: yes [14:39] aoeu: my fstab is like this; http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/552827/ [14:39] magowiz: http://imgur.com/U6kY1 [14:39] if you choose an easy password its easy to break anyway.... why bother encrypting an entire disk? [14:40] 这里有中国人吗 [14:40] 靠 [14:40] 有人说汉语吗？ [14:40] hi-there: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:41] thats not flooding [14:41] hoe [14:41] gobbe: Mine is like this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/552829/ Whats wrong? [14:41] Where do I find the ubuntu version I currently run? [14:41] meco: lsb_release -a [14:41] meco: lsb_release -a [14:41] aoeu: are you using luks? [14:41] aoeu: or just encrypted home? [14:42] gobbe: Dunno, the one that's default in the alternate CD in ubuntu 9.10 i think [14:42] right [14:42] gobbe: When I'm booting the alternate cd in rescue mode it asks for the password to the partition and it works [14:42] skutr3: you have to decide how much space you will want to assign to ubuntu installation, then resize the windows partition, after that you can start installation and let the installer use the free space [14:43] magowiz: i want to assign the largest space to ubuntu possible without screwing up windows === skutr3 is now known as Riverguard [14:44] howdy [14:44] Riverguard: so how long is a piece of string? [14:44] aoeu: so your boot stops while doing mount? [14:45] skutr3 : so could 50% of the space fits you ? [14:45] hello how can i create dns server in ubuntu ? [14:45] gobbe: Yes, but I can skip the /home [14:45] magowiz: sorr [14:45] magowiz: sorry* Im still here [14:45] John-Smith: you probably need bind9 or something [14:46] damo22: what were you asking me? [14:46] Riverguard: ?? [14:46] magowiz: im skutr3 [14:46] Riverguard: so how long is a piece of string? [14:46] magowiz: i changed my nick [14:47] thats how big you need your drive [14:47] damo22: as long as you want it to be lol idk [14:47] magowiz: can we continue with installing ubuntu [14:48] Hi, it's possible to force a copy of a corrupted file? [14:48] where can I file bugs with nautilus or gnome or whatever? I think there's been a bug in existence for, oh, I don't know, the last 6 years... I'd like to bring it to attention. again. but I forget where to post. [14:48] ok Riverguard [14:48] m8, who says it's corrupt? nautilus? [14:49] magowiz: so what should i do first? [14:49] so Riverguard : what about using 50% of windows space ? [14:49] sam-_-, corrupted file from a cdrom [14:49] Roasted_: depends either on launchpad or directly with the gnome developers themselves(they have their own bug system) [14:49] m8, ah [14:49] m8: have you still got the cd? [14:49] sure magowiz [14:49] acicula_, thanks. Have you noticed that "apply permissions to enclosed files" do.. uh... nothing? [14:49] magowiz: thats fine [14:49] Roasted_: i have not [14:50] damo22, yes [14:50] Riverguard: so you should resize your win partition to 50% , after that you can start the installer [14:50] acicula_, gets a little old. I'm a terminal junkie, but really? It's a bit of a headache when grandma moves files to/from an external drive and permissions are out of wack and I need to remote in to issue a chmod -R command. [14:50] m8: your best bet is to mount the cd and create a cd image of it [14:51] magowiz: how do i do that? [14:51] Why fbset does not affect current display??? framebuffer works in 640x480 and: fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -xres 1024 -yres 768, does not change the resolution??? please help [14:51] can someone tell me whether application icons are move-around-able? [14:52] damo22, and how i can extract the file? [14:52] magowiz: sorry im still new to this [14:53] livingdaylight, try this command: alacarte [14:53] thanks damo22 [14:53] Riverguard : using gparted you can choose the partition and then right click on it should give you the option Resize [14:53] Roasted_: its annoying if it doesnt do what it says on the box. Did you check the sub files are all owned by the same user? [14:54] acicula_, that's where the issue is. The files came through as root:root on the external, but if you take ownership of the root folder, you SHOULD be able to take owner ship of the sub files/folders inside. Dolphin does this just fine. [14:54] Anyone familiar with VBox emulator? [14:55] sam-_-, not what I need... want to move /re-arrange panel but application icons such as X-chat and network manager keep sliding to the right, and can't get /squeeze anything on other side [14:55] I am trying to install it and I get dependency error yet the required item is already installed. === le0 is now known as le0n === le0n is now known as le0- [14:55] Daniel, the open source edition or from the vbox website [14:56] acicula_, it basically will transfer perms, but not ownership/group, which is kind of a royal PITA that there's no other way to do it than terminal. Again, I have no issue with it, but grandma does. Grandma would rather buy a windows license at the moment... [14:56] magowiz: how do i get it down to 50%? [14:56] VBox website download. Should I try from the Synaptic manager software? [14:56] Does anyone have a good guide to installing Zimbra OSE on ubuntu server 10.04 LTS? [14:57] Roasted_: well not recursively disowning root is a good thing i suppose, but cant you access the external disk as a user and avoid having the files owned by root in the first plaec? [14:57] Riverguard : you should see an arrow on the right, drag it to left until you get it [14:57] Daniel: depends. do you need USB support or RDP support? [14:57] Riverguard, if your win partition is too full you may not be able to get it down to 50% [14:57] acicula_, typically yeah - but when I take a folder that is owned by root with files in it, it comes down as owned by ME since I'm writing that folder to my home directory. But the files inside remain as root... hence the issue. [14:57] Don't know what rdp is but USB support isn't needed. [14:57] ao: ok, so your home is onlyone with encryption [14:57] Roasted_: also how is she moving files as a user which are subsequently owned by root? [14:57] ao: sorry, wrong guy [14:58] Riverguard: sam-_- is right you should have some free space on win partition [14:58] acicula_, yeah. [14:58] Daniel, then try like this: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [14:58] 14:41 >>> John-Smith!~John-Smit@122.161.243.218 [14:58] Okay. Be back in a bit. [14:58] what is nvidia driver versuin included with 10.10? [14:59] version [14:59] Roasted_: you cant copy files and have copies owned by root, unless you are root [14:59] m8: you should insert the scratched cd, UNmount the cd, then run this command: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cdimage.iso conv=notrunc,noerror [14:59] ok damo22 and how i can extract the file? [14:59] acicula_, either way if you're in nautilus as root, you should be able to handle this task. Dolphin can do it without an issue. [14:59] acicula_, that's another thing I may have forgotten to mention, about using gksudo nautilus. [14:59] acicula_, gksudo nautilus. [14:59] if is corrupted? [14:59] :o [15:00] So for Apache on Ubuntu and enabling modules I've just been going into the modules-enabled directory and symlinking myself. Is there some script to do things like that I should be using instead? [15:00] livingdaylight, to my knowledge you can't move icons in the notification area. [15:00] m8: then you have a image of the cd in /tmp directory [15:00] It is downloading now. Thank you. [15:00] I will let ya know how it goes when it installs. [15:00] Why isn't nvidia driver visible in Additional drivers dialog of 10.10 even if I have nvidia card? It used to be there in some previous releases.. [15:00] livingdaylight, on the panel however it's possible. right click to unlock. then move with holding left mouse button [15:00] Roasted_: running nautiuls as root may well cause half the problems you are having [15:01] acicula_, point is, nautilus as root DOES NOT work in the same demeanor that dolphin does. [15:01] sam-_-, thank! [15:01] I hate to install dolphin just to change necessary perms recursively via gui [15:01] BUT guess I'll have to. [15:01] Roasted_: well i dont know how nautiuls behaves when ran as root [15:02] Roasted_: running it as root is sheer madness though [15:02] It is installed and running. I will try XP now. I appreciate the assist. [15:02] acicula_, why? i don't run it as root but i don't see too many problems as long as your are careful [15:02] m8: then you can mount the cd image using the command: sudo mkdir /media/tmpcd && sudo mount /tmp/cdimage.iso -o loop -t iso9660 /media/tmpcd and recover all the files you need [15:02] Daniel: np. glad we could help [15:03] I downloaded from website because I thought that was better than getting from Synaptic. [15:03] magowiz: sorry i had to eat real quick but ok [15:03] sam-_-: it messes up permissions in all the wrong places [15:03] acicula_, oh rly? i didn't know that [15:03] sam-_-: and its easy enough to make really dumb mistakes [15:04] sam-_-: well im not entirely sure how gksudo sets up the environment, it might actually reset your directory to /root, but i doubt it does. for example if it doesnt it happiliy rewrites your settings file as root. which gives you all kinds of weird problems [15:05] magowiz: i think sam-_- may be right i dont even see an arrow on here [15:05] i installed the package gap from the universe...where can i find the install directory? http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/gap [15:06] ok .. finally my nvidia card works .. now I noticed that my touchpad doesn't work [15:06] is there a program that's like wireshark but able to filter packets by process ? or some terminal utility [15:06] I don't see any "alps" or "synaptics" in my dmesg [15:07] magowiz: i cant drag either of the arrows? [15:07] any way I can find out what it is ? [15:07] Riverguard : how much space left do you have on your disk ? [15:07] BlackBishop: look in the X servers logfile [15:07] magowiz: idk [15:07] magowiz: it doesnt say [15:08] acicula_: nothing there either [15:08] magowiz: i think its because theres physical damage to the disk.... lol [15:08] acicula_: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/gskFWzn8 [15:08] magowiz: what can i do about that?

[16:00] frxstrem: I just cut down one partition by 50gb, and planned to add it to my XP partition, but I can't find the option to either extend it or to increase the space. [16:00] it boots... but then the msg appears: no init found. [16:00] does FBSET works??? it does not affect to my view??? please help??? [16:01] i have framebuffer in 640x480 [16:01] now: fbset 1024x768-60 runs without errors [16:01] Nevermind, I managed to formulate a goodle search now :) === baggar11_ is now known as baggar11 [16:01] but... resolution is still 640x480??? [16:01] frxstrem: Look at the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober file. This is where your Windows partitions are being included in the boot menu. [16:01] Um_cara_qualquer: ok so the pen_drive fails to fully boot, maybe the media (usb flash) or the iso is corrupt, check the md5sum of the iso and check the usb flash drive integrity [16:01] I've made a screensaver using this how-to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1368224 and the video plays in preview, but doesn't when the screensaver actually loads. Any suggestions? [16:02] BluesKaj, What should I swap to then? [16:02] dajhorn: I'm not only talking about Windows, but all OSes except for the Ubuntu installed on the external harddrive [16:02] sacarlson, hmm... maybe it's the pen drive... because the md5sum checks witth ubuntu.com [16:02] <_spacer_> ok so how do i move the folder with mc?? [16:02] f8 [16:02] dajhorn: since I currently have both Ubuntu and Windows installed on the internal hard drive, and I want neither of them to appear in the menu [16:03] nono [16:03] ! [16:03] f6 [16:03] !! [16:03] stanman: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:03] _spacer_ [16:03] Um_cara_qualquer: then test usb flash http://www.ghacks.net/2009/08/28/test-usb-flash-drive-and-hard-drive-integrity-and-size/ [16:03] _spacer_ dont use f8 [16:03] <_spacer_> f6 got it [16:03] pfew [16:03] If I've cut down partition space on /dev/sda1 on the ubuntu installer, is it possible to add it to /dev/sda2? [16:03] f8 is deleting [16:03] frxstrem: Doesn't matter. That file generates the non-Ubuntu boot menu items. Edit this file, or disable the automatic grub updater. [16:04] f5 is copying [16:04] f6 is moving [16:04] <_spacer_> options [16:04] ? [16:04] as I don't get a choice to, and I want to install to /dev/sda1 [16:04] <_spacer_> cool i see that now [16:04] working? [16:04] dajhorn: but won't the Ubuntu installed on the internal hard drive still appear? [16:04] sacarlson, i'm in ubuntu right now... i can't install that [16:04] <_spacer_> follow links, preserve atributes... those ones [16:05] my computer seems to have a problem waking from sleep if it is connected to certain VGA monitors with a DVI - VGA adapter, when i connect it directly with DVI monitors it works fine and wakes properly, anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? [16:05] yup [16:05] Um_cara_qualquer: try reformat the usb flash with ext3 or any thing and just copy the iso you plan to use then do an md5sum on the file from the usb flash [16:05] frxstrem: Dunno. Depends on how you choose to edit the grub.d files. Note that you're asking to do something that is both dangerous and uncommon. [16:05] <_spacer_> dive into subdir? stable symlinks? [16:06] Hello! would anybody know how to add a default launcher icon for all new accounts? I tried to put the .desktop file in the skel directory, fail. I tried to add the gconf config, fail. I must be missing something else [16:06] sacarlson, got it [16:06] anyone knows how i can 'hide' the "entered into chatroom" notifications? in empathy? [16:06] <_spacer_> what are those all about? [16:06] sacarlson, hang on [16:07] is it possible to remove GRUB altogether and just boot directly into Ubuntu? [16:07] frxstrem, no [16:08] frxstrem: you need a bootloader, you can set it to default to ubuntu with 0 secs, that probably gets you what you're after [16:08] frxstrem: there are a few different boot loaders like lilo, I'm not sure what boot direct is [16:08] Hello Ubuntuers! :) [16:08] <_spacer_> stanman? those options?

[17:49] join #drupal [17:49] AbhiJit, i would say it can be any language. [17:49] Sary: that sounds like it's working to me [17:49] thiefy_, ok [17:49] the script defines what language it is in. [17:50] sacarlson whats that.. [17:50] I have setup bind9 on my server and everything works so far. What address do I enter in my domain name's dns field to get my domain name to point to my name server? [17:50] AbhiJit, it's ashell script similar to a command line , sort of [17:50] BluesKaj, ok [17:51] Sary: you say it boots up to the login prompt, what did you expect to see?

[17:52] thiefy_: I setup bind9 so that I could get my registered domain name to point to my server (DNS server) [17:52] sacarlson , i did , that didn't help. [17:53] piercedwater: If you have a registered domain name you don't need a local DNS server [17:53] edbian: Just point it to my IP, right? [17:53] hey guys anyone got any points for setting up an ubuntu server on a dynamic adsl connection??? [17:53] piercedwater: yeah, that's the point of registering it in the first place. You tell the root servers on the internet that your domain name points at a specific IP [17:54] edbian: Ok I was obviously confused. Thanks. [17:54] piercedwater: no problem [17:55] Sary: you can try apt-get install startup-manager gui and turn on text and add more time in grub at boot, or edit grub configs by hand === maximo is now known as Maximo [17:55] yasec, what is it that you want to do with that 'server'?

[18:03] hello all [18:03] Franz24: press shift while booting before you see any ubuntu stuff. This gets you into the grub menu. Try to boot recovery mode or something. The problem is vague and may be caused by many things. If we can get Ubuntu to boot we can try to find error messages that will point us to the real problem. [18:03] Hi folks, I'm looking for a keyboard layout for ubuntu 8.04 with a latin charecter set (latin like doctors and church, not Mexico, and Castro) [18:04] Franz24: This is a much better method than finding a thread with the same problem but with everything else different.

[18:04] I'm getting "The connection failed because of invalid VPN secrets" but it was working yesterday, what to do? [18:04] newbie872: try this: sudo apt-get install libpcap [18:05] edbian: Okay, so I should boot in the recovery mode, and just let it do it's work and go back here to tell which errors it gave me? [18:05] I'll get my laptop here so I can stay online on the channel [18:05] any easy way to download and install firefox 4? [18:05] Franz24: It has a much higher probability of booting. [18:05] edbian: : Couldn't find package libpcap [18:06] Franz24: Eventually you land at some menu, tell me what the options are and I can help you pick one that is helpful [18:06] newbie872: Oh I don't know the exact name of hte package. Hang on I'll google t [18:06] okay, wait a moment, I'm starting my irc client on my laptop now [18:06] edbian: libpcap-dev?

Go to that folder, look for the file, perhaps it's just misnamed [18:08] do you mean from the unrealeased repository?

[18:23] Ty [18:23] mullew: you're welcome [18:23] xangua, thanks [18:23] celthunder:oh i got it now. wait. [18:23] xangua, at ppa's name i write docky ppa? [18:23] Franz24: I don't know why the hdd is being re-mounted. I don't know what causes that. I'm looking it up [18:24] Franz24: What is the exact error it gave you? [18:24] edbian: ok thanks [18:24] edbian: thanks [18:24] aeon-ltd: mullew it is #winehq [18:25] Newa: did it fix everything? [18:25] Franz24: What was the exact error it gave you?

[18:25] michaelxq: how about you google for: docky ppa [18:25] xangua, ok thanks [18:26] edbian: this one? ¨[ 28.334654] EXT4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=0¨ [18:26] that's the one! [18:26] I'm gonna google it [18:26] i have a question about catalyst feature support in ubuntu [18:26] who can follow me please? [18:27] Franz24: apparently the system mounts / read only during boot for safety, then it remounts after you've logged in. That message is standard and not an error. [18:27] Do you see any other errors [18:27] ? [18:27] I´ll have a look === schnuffle1 is now known as schnuffle [18:28] hi5: just ask your question. if anyone knows, they'll respond [18:28] is there samba ppa that i could use to get post 3.5.6 build ? ... [18:28] k [18:28] i dont know if automatic lowering of frequency - to save power and heat - works on ubuntu [18:28] like it does on windows [18:28] Franz24: It's possible (and likely) that there are none [18:28] the 2d/3d switch [18:29] hi5: you mean specifically ati/catalyst drivers correct? [18:29] I can´t find anything here, but there is stil more if I would go up, but I don´t know how to go up here [18:29] yep [18:29] Franz24: shift + page up scrolls up. Don't worry about it. The end is the only part that matters. [18:29] Franz24: try this: sudo gdm [18:29] if you are familiar with windows you know what it does [18:29] why does firefox4 aka minefield 4.0 process flash video slow and jerky? [18:30] that's flash dude [18:30] Franz24: It will launch the graphical log in. If it crashes it should go back to this screen and give you errors [18:30] doing anything in 3d lowers speed to 200 Mhz for example (from 900) [18:30] edbian: lots of errors here [18:31] Franz24: haha, such as... ? [18:31] hello [18:31] I am new to ubuntu [18:31] edbian: WARNING: Unable to load file ´/etc/gdm/custom.conf´ : No such file or directory [18:31] hi5: of that I have no specific knowledge you could try contacting AMD/ATI with a support request. [18:32] Franz24: was that from running sudo gdm? [18:32] hi guys [18:32] edbian: yes [18:32] im downloading Ubuntu [18:32] for use on my laptop [18:32] it's a very common feature since years, at least on windows world [18:32] but i dont want it to interfere with windows [18:32] i heard that on nvidia its just fine [18:32] Franz24: Maybe some of the files are missing. Reinstall the package. sudo apt-get install gdm [18:32] so im planning on installing it to my external 1 TB usb harddrive [18:32] so i guess with ati it will be either :-) [18:32] edbian: also ¨WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found [18:32] also [18:32] i will try btw === eloi__ is now known as castlealex [18:33] Franz24: that one I have never seen before [18:33] Sina3: yes, so? [18:33] edbian: I´ll try what you said [18:33] which should i install? [18:33] just normally, using Wubi to my hdd [18:33] or as a usb stick? [18:33] Franz24: you might have to do: sudo apt-get reinstall gdm [18:33] maybe the usb stick is just fine for you [18:34] Franz24: If that doesn't work we'll try the shotgun approach: sudo apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop [18:34] hi5: IIRC it does do it correctly, but I'm not an expert in video drivers. [18:34] Can you people help me here's is what I cannot install : http://paste.ubuntu.com/552920/plain/ [18:34] hi5, whats the different [18:34] difference* [18:34] edbian: I just did the first, is it true that that´s finished immediatly? [18:34] Franz24: Well what did it say? 'already installed' ? [18:34] rubbs: what do you mean by IIRC? never heard that [18:34] Franz24: just do sudo apt-get reinstall gdm it won't hurt anything [18:34] it didn´t say anything [18:35] hi5, if i remember correctly [18:35] Any hints on using the panel applet "charecter palette" I cant get it to insert the charecters... [18:35] hi5: IIRC = If I Remember/Recall Correctly sorry. I shouldn't use acronyms [18:35] lol [18:35] edbian: as i said, I just did it and nothing happened.. [18:36] Franz24: what? Are you sure? it just puts you back at the prompt? [18:36] ok...hehe [18:36] Franz24: you gave it your password and such [18:36] will try that however...dont see reasons it wouldnt work [18:36] hi [18:36] edian: well, when I type it and press enter it just goes to the next line where I can type a new command.. [18:37] Franz24: you're kidding! [18:37] Franz24: dmesg works [18:37] would be very bad keeping your card consuming >100W all the time doesnt it? [18:37] Franz24: ? but sudo apt-get reinstall gdm does nothing? [18:38] guys is it possible to use a static ip linuxbox to forward to other internet ips ? [18:38] I have a problem with grub on a raid1 fails to restore after an upgrade [18:38] if I try to mount a drive tells me linux_raid_member :(( [18:38] edbian: I´ll try it once more in case I made a typing mistake [18:38] Franz24: If there was a typing mistake it would have spitted out errors [18:39] thansk rubbs anyway [18:39] edbian: with both sudo apt-get reinstall gdm and with sudo apt-get install gdm nothing happens [18:39] Franz24: what about sudo apt-get install geany [18:39] Franz24: It's just a random app. does that work / do anything? [18:39] nope [18:40] hi5: np. hope you can find your answer. [18:40] Franz24, does "ls" work? [18:40] Franz24: ok. I believe that your install was bad. You're probably going to have to re-install [18:40] hi5: I will say this. and it's not scientific, but my ATI card will speed up the fan when I'm playing games, but slow it down when I'm not. so I'm pretty sure it works. [18:41] Franz24: random files are just missing. apt-get does not appear to work at all [18:41] rumpe2: no, so I guess I should restart the recovery mode [18:41] edbian: maybe it works when I restart the recovery mode [18:41] Franz24, sounds really strange ... sure, you are not in an editor? ;) [18:41] Franz24: I DOUBT it :) [18:41] Hey, got some problem when I was going to istall drives to my BMC4312 wifi card [18:41] rumpe2: dmesg works [18:41] edbian: I can always try [18:41] Franz24: sure [18:41] rubbs it does make very much sense to me [18:42] nice news for me [18:42] :-D [18:42] edbian: by the way, this is the second time that this happens, yesterday I installed ubuntu with the same problem, and today I reinstalled it but nothing changed. [18:42] Franz24: maybe the CD is bad [18:42] Franz24: md5 next time [18:42] Franz24: You should re-burn it. [18:42] !md5 | Franz24 [18:42] Franz24: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [18:43] Franz24, use flash-sticks/cards, if possible... cd-roms has a number of additional error-sources [18:44] rumpe2: I´ll use an usb stick next time [18:44] edbian: now when I do ´sudo apt-get reinstall gdm´ it asks me for my password, and when I enter it it says: ¨E: Invalid operation reinstall¨ [18:44] Franz24: ok good, does ls work? [18:44] edbian: Is: command not found [18:45] Franz24: ok, it is REALLY BAD, that ls is not found. But if you wanna try and fix this install I will help you. I suggest you download and burn a new image and reinstall the OS [18:45] edbian, Franz24: The command is: apt-get install --reinstall gdm [18:46] Pici: thanks [18:46] Franz24: try that [18:46] hello, how do i get a packadge updated? [18:46] Franz24, edbian: also, that was ls, not Is (lowercase L vs. capital I) [18:46] the samba currently available is a bit on the old side, the newer versions have a fix for windows7 shares and a security fix [18:47] if your computer says ls: command not found, then that machine has a real bad problem mate. [18:47] recently install 10.10 and it's very slow. updated but no luck. any help? [18:47] tetsuo__: that is a statement or a question? [18:47] Franz24: yes, you are typing 'EL' 'ESS' right [18:47] ? [18:47] edbian: E Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [18:47] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [18:47] ls [18:47] dostokhan, we do not understand your question. [18:47] Franz24: What command did you run? [18:47] hi5: my question is how to get it updated, the thing about samba is a statement [18:47] Franz24: you need to use sudo for that [18:48] edbian: the reinstall command [18:48] tetsuo__: Is there a CVE for that samba security issue? [18:48] pici: thanks, now it works [18:48] Pici: yes, http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-3069 [18:48] Franz24: that's because ls is a command and is is not [18:48] thiefy_, i recently install ubuntu 10.10. i was using 10.04. now the new system is very very slow. even typing gets stuck [18:48] edbian: i meant the sudo command [18:49] Franz24: sudo apt-get install -reinstall gdm [18:49] edbian: that one is works [18:49] edbian: it has just finished [18:49] Franz24: then try sudo gdm again [18:49] im trying to setup samba to give a user write access. ive tried setting guest ok, and write access for the user. but i keep denied access [18:49] dostokhan, i doubt that is the OS fault. i would check your ram and your hard drive. make sure they are OK. [18:49] edbian: same errors as before [18:49] dostokhan, sure, it may be a little bit slower, but it wouldn't be that much. [18:50] How to run a pro file? [18:50] tetsuo__: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-987-1 [18:50] Franz24: try this: [18:50] Franz24: sudo apt-get install -reinstall ubuntu-desktop [18:50] i'm using ubuntu with this laptop for about a year. it isn't normal [18:50] tetsuo__: It looks like we already fixed that: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-987-1 [18:50] Myrtti: darn ;) [18:50] castlealex, think like a champ. feel like a professional, then run it as a pro. you can do it mate! [18:50] edbian: ok I´ll try [18:51] thiefy_, it almost hangs sometimes for a few seconds i [18:51] well the thing is I installed build essential from the synaptic and it doesn't work [18:51] dostokhan, i think you have a hardware problem. it should not be that slow. try downloading and running the 10.04 distro and see if that is faster, or if it seems just as slow. [18:52] Pici: Myrtti > i see the security fix itself was backported, ok so that cannot be used as a reason to update to 2:3.5.6~dfsg-2 , which fixes a bug with accessing windos7 shares [18:52] edbian: it has finished working [18:52] Franz24: sudo gdm [18:52] Franz24: (that was fast) [18:52] Hey guys [18:53] tetsuo__, what is that bug about that you are referring to? [18:53] thiefy_, seems like i've to go back to 10.04. i thought there might be any problem with 10.10. [18:53] thiefy_: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=651722 [18:53] dostokhan, i don't think there is aproblem, but try 10.04, and see if it's any different. [18:53] tetsuo__, thanks. [18:53] edbian: same errors, and really fast because I even restarted my pc in the time, after ´sudo gdm´ i can´t enter any commands for some weird reason [18:53] edbian: btw, it gives the same errors again [18:54] when using samba, on another users account, do ineed chown on that so others can deposit into it? [18:54] thiefy_, ok. have a good day :) bye. [18:54] Franz24: ok, I suggest you reinstall the OS [18:54] Hey, what do I have to do when my network card stops working after updating drivers? its a broadcom BCM4312? [18:54] Here's my problem ; http://paste.ubuntu.com/552927/ [18:54] Franz24: There shouldn't be random files missing [18:54] Does anyone ever tried to modify the Ubuntu Server 10.10 ISO to create an automatic installation with the CD? [18:54] edbian: Ok, I still have the original downloaded iso file on my pc, how should I put it on an usb? [18:54] Failican: downgrade? then report the bug and wait i suppose if you need the card now [18:54] edbian: and do I have to uninstal anything? [18:55] Franz24: You don't need to uninstall. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStickQuick [18:56] need help with a webcam. any advice [18:56] hello everyone [18:56] ok [18:56] aeon-ltd well accually I was trying to update it but I found out that I already got the newest drives, but when I rebooted the network wasnt working, only locally :s [18:56] kieff: give more details, dont ask to ask, just ask [18:56] ok all my recordings are fastforwarded!!

[18:57] got a url of a video that shows what you talking about (the sped up video) [18:57] edbian: I´ll switch to my pc now, could you send the link again in a moment? [18:58] tetsuo__: Correct. A backport of that specific patch (if that would even be possible) if you'd need Windows 7 support. I think #ubuntu-devel might be able to point you in the right direction to get that setup on lanchpad so that it could get backported. [18:58] www.youtube.com/user/wsupvrybdy [18:58] kieff: Don't advertise here. [18:58] Pici: ok thanks i will try there [18:58] tetsuo__: You can blame me if they tell you its not the right channel ;) [18:59] Hello, ok haha [18:59] Franz24: use Unetbootin to burn the iso image , also make sure the Md5 matches .

My iPod mounts fine but does not show in Banshee or nautilus. Please help.

[19:23] one thats installed === febs is now known as feebs [19:23] I think I did boot into the last one without success. I'll try it again later. Can't reboot now. [19:23] Would there be a way to tell if it just went dead, hard-ware wise? [19:23] acicula_ I'll try to reboot my gateway, might do it. Thanks anyways!

[19:25] I'm new here, i don't make paltalk works [19:25] mayank_: also is there a physical write lock? [19:25] dardan: woops [19:25] cognitiaclaeves: reboot and try an older kernel, should still be there if you updated [19:25] rusty149: haha :D [19:25] Richie086: Depends on Qt 4.x it says on the other website has anoyne got the program installed? [19:25] Sary: I installed cygwin but I don´t understand what I should do now [19:25] no there is no physical lock i m new here so tel me in detail [19:26] acicula_ yeh i have checked that and the pass is correct and all other things are on auto as they where befor [19:26] dardan: ls -aR /media/Extern >> ~/backup-file.txt [19:26] acicula_: Ok. I'll try that when I can. Thanks for the help! [19:26] is there a way to map nfs mounts? [19:26] cognitiaclaeves: yw [19:27] thiefy_, do you use opendns? [19:27] acicula_: ... If it turns out to be an update of some sort that caused it, is there a way to get a list of what was updated? ( maybe a log for apt? ) [19:27] I want to mount a directory from several different machines but as a specific user. (not user nobody) [19:27] Franz24: installed cygwin for what? [19:27] cognitiaclaeves: there is an apt log yeah [19:27] rusty149: yeah it worked! is it anyway the command can arrange all by type? [19:28] is there a way to install mailutils without installing exim? [19:28] Sary: for the MD5SUM, I´m on windows right now, so i think that´s the only way to do it [19:28] rusty149: and I dont want the folders in the list, just all the files on the disk. Arranged by type? [19:28] Franz24: O' you're running Windows ! my bad . [19:28] cognitiaclaeves: /var/log/apt/ and maybe /var/lib/apt [19:28] Sary: No problem, I should have mentioned it [19:29] acicula_: Is the apt log updated for updates not done directly by the user through bash? [19:29] Remowylliams: i bet there is [19:29] dardan: Do you want files in subdirectories? [19:29] but never used nfs yet [19:29] new install and trying to setup DNS, can someone give me a hand with this? [19:29] Franz24: Thats cool :) , so in which step you're at now. [19:29] hi5: the normal way it's done in BSD and other linuxes is not available in ubuntu [19:30] Danielc1234, ethernet or wifi ? [19:30] Sary: still at the MD5SUM step [19:30] cognitiaclaeves: i assume so [19:30] not even with third party tools? [19:30] hi can anyone help me my pendrive has become write protected i tried formatting it bt it doesnt wrk [19:30] rusty149: how do you mean? I want the text file that the command generate.. but if there is a way that will sort everything by type, in the text file? [19:30] acicula_: Ok. Thanks again. Have a good one! [19:30] BluesKaj: ethernet [19:30] hi5: that's why I asked if there was another nfs system that can be used. [19:30] so you're connected , Danielc1234 ? [19:31] hi can anyone help me my pendrive has become write protected i tried formatting it bt it doesnt wrk [19:31] dardan: ls -aRX /media/Extern >> ~/backup-files.txt [19:31] maybe you mean a configuration tool or gui [19:31] mayank__: Check the /var/log/messages file for write errors. This can happen when the flash media in the USB device burns-out. [19:31] It's very sad, you can't map users, they can only be squashed or not squashed. [19:31] BluesKaj: well I'm able to get out to the web, but I am installing a mailserver and Zimbra and is says to make sure all DNS is setup correctly or else I will have big headacks later. [19:31] nfs should be equal in all distros === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [19:32] dardan: do you need the files within folders?

[19:33] Danielc1234, ok well , I don't use a mailserver , but I've set up google dns in my router (manual dns settings) and in the /etc/resolv.conf as nameserver [19:33] Sary: So what should I do now? [19:34] Franz24: install winMD5Sum [19:34] BlueKaj okay, I will take a look at that. [19:35] dardan: bit longer... [19:35] which file@dajhorn m talkng about my pendrive whch file should i open??? [19:35] dardan: ude find « find /media/Extern -type f -printf "%f\n" > file.list » [19:36] use* [19:36] i have a monitor that says: not supported when i get past grub, is there a way i can ssh into it and fix it ?

[19:39] does 64bit version has remarkable advantages over 32 one? [19:39] i get 2 wierd symbols [19:39] sina like what [19:39] Sary: I´ll stay on irc on my laptop, so if I have any questions I can still ask them [19:39] hi5: no I'm not talking about a gui or a tool nfsv4 should allow mapping of clients to specific uid's [19:39] Franz24: Yes. you're good to go. [19:39] one like a keyboard [19:39] = a person in a circle [19:39] anyone who can help me [19:39] Franz24: sounds good :) , will e waiting ..

[19:41] it froze [19:41] so i rebooted [19:41] and went back to the 3 symbols [19:41] sina3 just try this: download 10.04 version and then put it on usb [19:41] it's supposed to work better [19:42] I have a kernel module that I would like to load with an option.. but it seems to be automaitcally loaded by the kernel. is there a way of overriding that, or telling the kernel to go ahead an autoload it, but to use my options? [19:42] What is a video editing program that ubuntu uses that Mac OS X also uses? [19:42] Ubuntu [19:43] calamari: add the option in /etc/modprobe.d/your_module.conf . create the file with aline that says « modulename option=foo option2=bar » [19:43] calamari: or add it to one of the existing files if it makes sense === mullew_ is now known as mullewt [19:43] does 64bit version has remarkable advantages over 32 one? [19:43] no one answered [19:43] erUSUL: okay, thanks! [19:43] hi5: version of what please? [19:43] of ubuntu [19:44] hi5: the main difference is going to be the size of your dataset. [19:44] dardan: Try: cd /media/Extern && ls -aX1d ./* ./*/* ./*/*/* ./*/*/*/* ./*/*/*/*/* ./*/*/*/*/*/* [19:44] ok..so no improvements cause i have 4 gigs [19:44] hi5: if you have or need to use more than 4GB of ram using amd64 is best [19:44] losting 700 megs not a big deal [19:44] dardan: Try: cd /media/Extern && ls -aX1d ./* ./*/* ./*/*/* ./*/*/*/* ./*/*/*/*/* ./*/*/*/*/*/* >> ~/backup-files.txt [19:44] holy shit this is big channel [19:45] dardan: That will get 6 levels of subdirectories [19:45] Morp: not really. it's only > < wide just liek all ofthem but it's really really long. [19:45] Remowylliams: i dont..just wondering if it has speed boost or something [19:45] hi5: No none at all [19:46] but i am figuring not [19:46] too bad [19:46] too little optimized sw? [19:46] hi5: you can run 32bit apps on 64bit os's you just have to include the 32bit compat libs [19:46] Sary: I´m back, but I can´t find an option in my bios to boot via the usb stick [19:46] Hi...which channel should i check in to ask a few queries abt ordering CD's ( more than 1 ) for a particular techfest my university ?.. pls direct....thnx [19:47] anyone know how to stop /etc/hosts from reverting back to default as I have added my comps to it but on reboot it is gone? [19:47] Franz24: try one of these keys . F12 , F9 , F11 .. [19:47] !shipit | yonij [19:47] yonij: Shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send !Maverick (10.10) CDs [19:47] Franz24: do you have a old mainboard?

[19:48] so it sure does, just find out how [19:48] i have a monitor that says: not supported when i get past grub, is there a way i can ssh into it and fix it ? [19:49] mine - gigabyte - needs to press esc or F12 to boot select [19:49] Franz: Sometimes it can be found under "removable disk" [19:49] sniperjo_: Do you have ssh server installed? [19:50] rusty149: yup [19:50] erUSUL: err....i checkd it....but couldnt find an option for mass ordering...is there some mail adress to which I could correspond explaaining wat exactly i have in mind....basically to distribute ubuntu disc...am fair abount of ppl is expected for the fest....a couple of thousands..so I thot why not use this opurtunity to spread some source :) [19:50] sniperjo_: That message itself is not a problem. It only means that grub is not able to adjust the bootscreen. The X-server on the other hand may (should) start withlut problem. [19:50] sniperjo_: if it you started then you should be able to login with ssh [19:51] yonij: maybe asking in #ubuntu-locos ( or -loco ) [19:51] schuffle: hi5: I can choose the Boot Device Priority here in the bios, but my only choices are my hard disk, my floppy drive (which i don´t have) and my cd-rom drive [19:51] rusty149: yes, i know it starts, as i can ssh into it, but then what ? [19:51] erUSUL: do you happen to know of a way to find out what the currently loaded options for a module are? I checked dmesg but that doesn't say. (Just want to double check that what I did in /etc/modprobe.d worked) [19:52] ebooks [19:52] How do you restart the sound system in Kubuntu? (note: it doesn't use pulseaudio) [19:52] Franz24: maybe you key is not bootable either..could be that if not showed [19:52] sniperjo_: sorry I'm no good with X and graphics, ask away and be detailed [19:52] calamari: not direct maybe there are in some plcace in /sys/ [19:53] minimec: its the other way around, grub supplies a supported resolution, Xserver doesnt [19:53] Franz24: thats odd .. you sure the iso burning went well? [19:53] sniperjo_: did you try CTRL+ALT+F2 to get to a tty.. ? [19:53] erUSUL: Thnx...this shld help :) [19:53] as hi5 said , the usb should be bootable. [19:53] anyone know the best way to move my /home directory to any LVM part? [19:53] Hi! Does anybody know a good general computer support channel? My computer wont boot properly, says the cmos battery is low and stuff. [19:53] Scunizi: yeah, its weird, it changes the blue "no input screen" to a completely black screen. [19:53] erUSUL: ahh, good idea thanks [19:54] Sary now that you said Iso Burning can you please suggest me one?Which iso burning program is said to be tha best?Thanks [19:54] Sary: well, I´m trying my usb-stick now, because the burning of my cd yesterday probably went wrong because of the bad installation [19:54] seul: replace battery [19:54] seul: ##hardware [19:55] Hi, my onboard USB stopped working suddenly =[ Can anyone help me troubleshoot? [19:55] I have a friend I would like to VNC to. Both of us are on Ubuntu, but both of us are behind public routers. We have a server at our disposal. How can we connect? [19:55] sniperjo_: what graphics card do use? what output? VGA, DVI, HDMI? [19:55] seul just replace the battery, common problem after some time of using the same battery [19:55] erusul: it was working correctly until i took it out and put it back in so i think its not that. Plus the computer wont start after i choose "save changes and exit" in bios [19:55] Inphernal: all of them? [19:55] seul: :/ [19:55] anyone know how to stop /etc/hosts from reverting back to default as I have added my comps to it but on reboot it is gone? [19:55] Franz24: ok. [19:55] how can i fix a system that doesn't reboot or shutdown [19:55] erusul: that channel was invite only, and #hardware was empty.. [19:56] minimec: its Intel interrogated which outputs DVI, that then goes through a DVI VGA converter [19:56] just plays the logout tune and stays there [19:56] !register [19:56] seul: is not [19:56] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[19:56] Scunizi: no just goes black screen, but i can ssh into it [19:56] Yeah [19:56] sniperjo_: do you have an nvidia card? [19:56] sniperjo_: hmmm... That shouldn't be the problem. What resolution does the monitor have? [19:57] minimec: 800x600 [19:57] There's two total on my laptop, they were working fine, I turned my computer off and when I turned it back on later, they wouldn;t work [19:57] Scunizi: GMA950 i think, riddled with problems... [19:57] Inphernal: very strange [19:57] so no software updates before that? [19:57] no odd behaviour? [19:57] hi5: They show up in windows device manager as working fine [19:57] sniperjo_: that's it? 800x600? yea.. issues with that card.. sorry I'm not good with diagnostics with that one. [19:58] xagua;: well, it says i cant join ##hardware, so i guess it is. it says invite only [19:58] hi5: No, I checked, I thought it may have been a Win Update at first but none [19:58] seul: invite only ? maybe you have to be registered ... [19:58] seul: you need to register [19:58] maybe kernel drivers went wrong...

[19:58] Scunizi: its terrible, works with other monitors DVI and VGA through the converter, just not with this monitor [19:58] user: there is admin-group already [19:58] Franz24: No , have you tried to change 'BIOS' boot order to boot from USB first , also as an alternative you can try another USB burning tool. [19:59] minimec:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07) [19:59] gobbe: 'usermod -a -G admin username' outputs 'usermod: unknown group admin' [19:59] Inphernal: so usb ' es does NOT run from WIN7? [19:59] user: which version you are running? [19:59] minimec: as i side note i always have trouble sleeping and waking it [19:59] Franz24: instead of wasting some CD's .. [20:00] user: and adm ? [20:00] hi5: It does not [20:00] User: the admin group already exists [20:00] gobbe, hardy (if you tell the command to upgrade, I will) [20:00] Sary: That´s the problem, in the BIOS I can find an option to chage the boot order, but USB is not in the list.. [20:00] actionparsnip: not here... [20:00] erUSUL: what's adm? [20:00] so it's definately a bios issue maybe...or you mainboard is getting lost [20:00] user: what does groups -command say? [20:01] hi5: I updated the bios after it stopped working, thinking that might fix it [20:01] User: its a default group in ubuntu. Its members are able to use sudo [20:01] g 'root' [20:01] hi5, i definately agree maybe [20:01] sniperjo_: perhaps when ssh'd into the machine you can "xrandr" and it should give you what the default values that are currently output to the monitor .. the one with an * will be the current default.. if there's nothing then you'll have to manually tell xrandr what to use [20:02] gobbe: 'root' [20:02] sniperjo_: ok. I read that you don't have problems with other monitors. You could try to create a new xorg.conf and modify it to use the simple VGA driver instead of the intel GPU driver. THat may help... [20:02] sniperjo_: http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html [20:02] no chances though even after bios update? maybe some weird usb setting inside [20:02] can someone help me? [20:02] like legacy mode or whatever [20:02] user: you are in as root? [20:02] sniperjo_: also if the wrong one is chosen ie resolution and refresh rate.. you can change that as well.

[20:02] sniperjo_: sounds like xrandr couldn't pick up any data from the monitor so it didn't know how to address it. [20:03] hi5: The only USB setting in the bios is the legacy one, and that's been set to enabled always [20:03] from repos? [20:03] but it wont let me for some reason [20:03] hi5: I didn´t even know I could update my bios ^^´ I´ll try that [20:03] hey, can someone help me to run/change .bat script? [20:03] <`Zerax`> Hello folks, I did a dist-upgrade from karmic to maverick and when I booted into gnome it said the trash can applet had broken and so it removed it.

[20:05] sniperjo_: looks like the vfreq and hfreq is WAY out of spec.. should be closer to 55 or 60 [20:06] user: hello?

[20:07] hi5 I´ll update my bios and do the rest tomorrow, otherwise I won´t have enough sleep tonight ^^ [20:07] Im running Ubuntu 10.10 can someone help me compile a program that is source code because I can't seem to figure it out on how to do it or maybe could compile it and send it to me here is the program http://gitorious.org/qt-xcurtheme WARNING: you should have Xcursor and Xfixes at least version 2.0 installed. any modern disto suits fine [20:07] hi guys .... has anyone been able to make CUDA work properly on ubuntu? [20:07] hi5: Didn't help [20:07] castlealex: read the INSTALL file [20:07] Franz24: excuse me , i had a phone call .. where you at now ? [20:07] ok franz [20:07] Only other options involving USB was in the boot order [20:07] Scunizi: do i need to export DISPLAY or something ? otherwise i get "cant open display" with xrandr [20:07] Kkamilsk8: linux wont use windows commands. You will need to convert the commands to linux commands [20:08] can someone help me put my badblocks in a flat-file and make them unusable sectors please? [20:08] ct529: I had CUDA working on Kubuntu within the last year. The trick was making sure the proper NVIDIA kernel was installed. [20:08] I´m now going to update my bios, but I´ll do the rest tomorrow because otherwise I won´t have enough sleep tonight ^^ [20:08] hello, can anyone tell me why i must enter my password for the keyring (wifi connection only password in there) 3-5 times on every login? [20:08] Inphernal: can you assume for sure that key IS bootable? [20:08] actionparsnip: can you help me with that? [20:08] hi5: You mean can I boot from USB? [20:08] ButtaKnife: yes, that worked .... it is just that some of the libraries that come with it are not found sometimes [20:08] user: there is no install file [20:08] yes [20:09] ButtaKnife: for example the CUBLAS [20:09] hi5: Sary: and everybody else who helped me: Thanks a lot for the great help, I´ll be back tomorrow :) [20:09] ButtaKnife: have you had this experience? [20:09] sorry Inphernal ... wrong advice [20:09] cryogenfx, you can store your password unencrypted. that way you won't have to enter a password ever [20:09] sniperjo_: hummm... not sure.. I'll have ubottu send you the help link on xrandr and resolution.. both links might shed some light on it. The temp method would also be to do what the previous persion mentioned and add vga to xorg.conf.. sorry can't help with that one. [20:09] bye Franz24 [20:09] ct529: I haven't, but is it actually "some times" or "always" with, for example, CUBLAS? [20:09] ButtaKnife: it seems it has to do with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable .... but this is nowhere to be seen in ubuntu [20:09] I need help with Empathy : I want to change the order of the groups I have in the contact list how do I do that? [20:09] Franz24: Ah , ok .. might wana look at this real quick http://www.ehow.com/how_7232404_boot-usb-bios-doesn_t-allow.html [20:09] !resolution > sniperjo_ [20:09] sniperjo_, please see my private message [20:09] Kkamlsk8: my battery is low so i wont get started. If you pastebin the file, others may help [20:09] !xrandr > sniperjo_ [20:09] Sary: thanks, I´ll have a look at it. [20:09] tsuna27: drag them¿ [20:09] i still think your motherboard could have some HARDWARE issues [20:10] sam-_-: ok, i'll try googling how to do that [20:10] ButtaKnife: good question .... it is actually always [20:10] hi5: Hmm, I'll try that, I have a ubuntu live image somewhere [20:10] cryogenfx, i can tell you :-) [20:10] xangua: that does not work i tried [20:10] hi ya [20:10] k [20:10] am i invisible? [20:10] !xrandr > sniperjo_ [20:10] ButtaKnife: but if I go console only, su into root shell, set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, then it finds it [20:10] ct529: Ahhh... you may want to add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/cuda/libs to your .bashrc file or something like that. [20:10] actionparsnip: can you help me with that? [20:10] sam-_-: ok, much appreciated. but it is strange behaviour, yes? it asks for the password 3-5 times right after another [20:10] Bisu[Shield], yes [20:10] Thanks everyone, bye :) [20:10] cryogenfx, but anyone who has access to your computer no knows your passwords [20:10] hi5: Yeah, if it won't boot I'm just gonna take it to BestBuy, the laptop should still be under warranty [20:11] cryogenfx, yes. quite straneg [20:11] ButtaKnife: why is that not already defined by the system? it should be .... [20:11] Bisu[Shield]: In a channel with nearly 1600 people, it's easy to be invisible. [20:11] Bisu[shield]: no [20:11] ButtaKnife: because I configured it in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ [20:11] hi5: Off to make that boot usb, we'll see [20:11] Inphernal: i would have done the same [20:11] k try [20:11] hi5: Thank you for your help [20:11] nevrmind [20:11] Scunizi: but if i run xrandr from a remote ssh it runs differently, dont i need to export the display or something [20:11] will send you the invoice btw [20:11] ct529: I'm a bit confused by that myself, but I'm not quite awake enough to figure it out. :P [20:11] sam-_-: not that concerned about that, as my laptop is secured in other ways, so if they get into desktop i have other problems :) [20:11] do i need to install anything extra to be able to ssh into my fresh ubuntu 10.10 desktop install? [20:11] cryogenfx, use the command seahorse [20:11] Scunizi: as if i was trying to run an app on the host computer [20:12] cryogenfx, i use unsafe storage as well. i just thought you might want to know [20:12] zaery: i am almost sure you dont [20:12] ButtaKnife: :-D [20:12] sam-_-: seahorse open [20:12] * ct529 rings a hug bell in ButtaKnife ears [20:12] ButtaKnife: s/hug/huge/ [20:12] cryogenfx, right click on passwords -> change password [20:13] cryogenfx, leave the new password field blank. then click ok [20:13] cryogenfx, then click on unsafe storage [20:13] sam-_-: passwords: default i presume, and not passwords: login? [20:14] cryogenfx, pardon me: passwords: login [20:14] New to ubuntu: How do I fully remove wine and all applications within it? [20:14] ct529: One possible option would be to add the appropriate lib paths to the makefiles of your programs. If that's not possible or a feasible solution, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH when you need to compile will do the trick. [20:14] zaery: you need to install the ssh server on your desktop, in case you haven't done so already run the command [20:14] sudo apt-get install openssh-server [20:14] sam-_-: ok, password set blank [20:14] sweet, thanks [20:14] cryogenfx, you can do it for both but your wifi passwords are in passwords:login i assume [20:14] ButtaKnife: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && rm -r ~/.wine [20:15] can someone help me install my dlink dwa-140 usb wifi dongle. At first I plugged it in and it saw some networks but would not connect to my network eve nafter turning off mac access control and encryption. I then followed this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1016108 but with the latest drviers from ralink. Now it simply does not see any networks. I may have done something... [20:15] ...wrong as I left out part * as I was not sure what I needed to replace but I did do the rest of them [20:15] buggerme: ^^^^ [20:15] buggerme: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && rm -r ~/.wine [20:15] how do i get wlan work? [20:15] shcherbak: :P [20:15] Buggerme: sudo apt-get --purge remove wine; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; rm -r ~/.wine [20:15] sam-_-: ok, i'll relog to check [20:15] buggerme: Just remove the .wine folder in your /home directory. Afterwards you may want to start F2 alacarte, to remove the links from your menu. [20:16] cryogenfx, good luck :-) [20:16] ButtaKnife: yes to the second option, do not udnerstand the first one [20:16] zariz, most wifi cards work out of the box [20:16] ButtaKnife: yes, best time for coffee.

[20:17] i wish my wlan would work :( [20:17] minimec: any ideas if i want to keep my intel drivers? [20:17] !cookie [20:17] Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [20:17] i am using ubuntu 10.04 any reason to upgrade to 10.10? === mdel_ is now known as mdel [20:17] tsuna27: new software [20:17] sam-_-: 3G is working. but wlan i cant get it up ralink 3090. [20:17] xangua: like what [20:17] ct529: Doing a quick bit of research shows that changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH is discouraged. The appropriate behavior for programs that need other library paths specified is to use the -L flag in GCC to specify additional library paths. [20:17] aaah, or all¿¿ tsuna27 [20:17] of* [20:18] xangua: ?? [20:18] changing standard path is always a bad idea [20:19] instead add new ones [20:19] sniperjo_: If you have no problems with other monitor, then the intel driver seems to be working correctly, I guess. So keep the intel driver. [20:19] ButtaKnife: I thought that the reason for Ubuntu having a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ directory was to avoid that [20:19] sniperjo_: are you on multimonitor? laptop with tv? [20:19] cya guys [20:19] i can't open the package manager under 10.10. I open it, then gksu ask for password, i give the password and then nothing appears [20:19] ct529: http://xahlee.org/UnixResource_dir/_/ldpath.html explains LD_LIBRARY_PATH a bit, but not how to modify makefiles to point to the proper libraries. In short, you could still modify the variable yourself if you need to, but if you have the familiarity with makefiles to make changes, adding the library paths to the makefile is the best option. [20:19] minimec: perhaps its just a problem with xserver config? [20:19] Marchitos: try sudo [20:20] is there a version of Shockwave I can use on Ubuntu? [20:20] NickyT942: no [20:20] ... [20:20] ct529: I don't know if any of that helps or just clouds the issue more. lol [20:20] I added self to 'adm' group, it does not allow to use sudo, as I am not in sudoers [20:20] How do I add? [20:21] A shockwave equivalent? [20:21] NickyT942: are you telling me something still runs on shockwawe? [20:21] sniperjo_: Well you shouldn't need any xorg.conf with any recent ubuntu distribution. So if you have one, delete any /etc/X11/xorg.conf [20:21] thought it was dead [20:21] btw [20:21] ... [20:21] user: Using a superuser account, run "visudo" and add an entry for your new account. [20:21] ... [20:21] sudo synaptics works [20:21] how do I add it there? [20:21] gksu no:( [20:21] Hello Everyone! [20:22] ButtaKnife: thanks for the article .... it does not really make clear why Ubuntu has gone the ld.conf.d way .... mmmm [20:22] anyone? [20:22] minimec: without it my video acceleration wont work [20:22] sam-_-; hey, it was the other one, passwords:default, now it has stopped pestering me about the password a bunch of times. thanks mate [20:22] So no Shockwave? [20:22] ct529: Agreed. I'm not terribly familiar with the ld.conf.d method, so I would have to do more research on that. [20:22] ButtaKnife: because some programs are automatically compiled, I need to set it maybe not globally bu at least for that group of programs [20:22] cryogenfx, no problem [20:22] Is there a Shockwave live thing I can run like java? [20:23] Trick it into working? [20:23] ct529: The lazy coder in me would just say to script something to update the path when compiling those programs and then possibly undo the changes. I suppose ld.conf.d would accomplish that. [20:24] sniperjo_: In that case I would search for a (or file a) bug for your GPU. An Intel GPU should run with 3d acceleration out of the box. [20:24] Marchitos: Be careful, sudo should never be used to run any GUI (Window) application [20:24] ButtaKnife: I have to think about it .... thanks a lot though! [20:24] NickyT942, what do you need it for? just curious [20:24] user: The /etc/sudoers file that you edit with visudo contains examples of how sudo entries should be formatted. [20:24] can someone help me install my dlink dwa-140 usb wifi dongle. At first I plugged it in and it saw some networks but would not connect to my network eve nafter turning off mac access control and encryption. I then followed this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1016108 but with the latest drviers from ralink. Now it simply does not see any networks. I may have done something... [20:24] ...wrong as I left out part 8 as I was not sure what I needed to replace but I did do the rest of them [20:24] ct529: Good luck! Maybe Google a bit for ld.conf.d or LD_LIBRARY_PATH for some general examples, even if they're not CUDA-specific. [20:24] ButtaKnife: thanks! [20:25] user: You need to add your user to the 'admin' group, not the 'adm' group to let them use sudo. 'adm' is for accessing stuff under /var/log and is unrelated to sudo. [20:25] Marchitos: if you wanna run a gnome-application then you should use gksudo instead [20:25] anyone know the best way to move my /home directory to any LVM part? [20:25] Pici: admin group does not exist [20:25] Ahh, thanks, Pici for catching that. [20:25] minimec: also i think it messes up the sleeping and waking if i remove all the xorg config [20:25] user: What version of Ubuntu are you using then? [20:25] hardy [20:25] I can update distro if you tell the command [20:26] user: You don't need to. What does the following command say: getent group admin [20:26] nothing [20:27] sniperjo_: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1634427.html [20:27] user: Is this on a VPS? [20:27] anyone here on a macbook that could tell me how i could manually adjust the brightness settings on ubuntu? [20:27] the function keys suddently stopped working overnight [20:27] Pici: yes [20:27] user: And lsb_release -d says 8.04? [20:28] Pici: Ubuntu 8.04.2 [20:28] user: upgrading VPS's distro might brake it down because they usually have own kernels and that kind of staff [20:28] Hi, does anyone knows how to use kickstart w/ Ubunut 10.10 ? Thanks [20:28] stuff [20:28] i have simply clicked under administration->package manager [20:29] user: Okay, one moment. [20:29] !automation | ClemSF [20:29] it won't start [20:29] !clone | ClemSF [20:29] ClemSF: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:29] !automate | ClemSF [20:29] ClemSF: Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [20:29] minimec: thanks, but with the xorg config and a different monitor everythign works fine, also, its not the video that freezes, its the whole system [20:29] Anybody, here knows how to get totem, working, almost anytime I try to watch a movie under Ubuntu, it switches of, dualmode [20:30] zteam, what do you mean switches of? [20:30] user: I had to do some setup on my own VPS (linode). You may want to take a look at the 'setting up users' section here to make your install more like a normal Ubuntu install: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/10/27/notes-from-setting-up-ubuntu-server-on-linode/ [20:30] hi all. i am looking for a solution to archive my audio cd. i'd prefer to rip from cd to the flac format. are there any recommendations for what tool to use? i know jack (the ripper a bit) but can't figure out whether it also rips to flac or only to mp3? [20:30] user: The rest of the steps there you can do at your own discretion. [20:31] sam he meant: switches off dual mode. [20:31] ubottu: thanks, I read this page already and i'm getting this error when I'm launching the auto-install: " try passing init= bootarg" [20:31] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === Azoth[cf] is now known as Bitashk [20:31] I have 10.10 installed on a 37GB raptor. Everything is nice, mounted a seagate 1TB drive: cp -Rv /home/username /media/MASS_STORAGE... followed by: sudo init 1... drop to root shell: rm -rf /home/username and edit /etc/fstab to mount the 1tb drive to /home [20:32] I think I screwed up some permissions [20:32] rdz lame is the best program to use. it's stands for lame ain't an mp3 encoder. that is the best thing to use to make mp3s. to rip them i am not sure as i haven't done that in years. [20:32] thiefy_, i still don't understand [20:33] It, switch the graphics settings to single output, then I try to watch a movie, with Totem, almost everytime [20:33] sam he is saaying when he watches a video in totem his monitors switch from dual mode to i guess one monitor mode. [20:34] thiefy_, ah. ok === Tommy_ is now known as Lantchips [20:34] is it possible, like with a command or something, to send a keycode, even if the physical key doesn't exist? [20:34] Hey bash guys, is there a way for me to pipe stout and sterr into /dev/null when I'm running a program so it doesn't spam up my terminal? [20:35] thiefy_, i'd like to encode to a lossless format, preferably flac, not to a lossy compression as mp3 [20:35] stderr* [20:35] chkdsk, the best thing would be to ask in #bash they would be smarter there. [20:35] chkdsk, &> /dev/null [20:35] hi! When i boot my computer, 1 out of 3 times i reach bios, where i enter the correct HDD to boot to, and when i choose "save changes and exit", and the computer boots, the screen just stays black. Why is that? And then the next time i manage to get it booting, it wont remember my changes in bios. [20:35] thiefy_: Exactly... it's working perfect if I use VLC instead, but I don't think that VLC is very good with HD-movies [20:35] thiefy_, we are not that dumb here :-P [20:36] rdz, is tehre a reason that mp3 is not good for you? keep in mind any mp3 player you buy or iphone or google phone will prob not play flac unless you get a custom rom on that thing... it's best to use mp3 as everything plays mp3 great. and if you encode to 192 kbp/s then it will sound just fine. i see no use for flac. but tha's just my opinion. [20:37] smw, heheh, i just thought if it was a hard bash question, then that would be a good place to ask.... [20:37] anyone here on a macbook that could tell me how i could manually adjust the brightness settings on ubuntu? [20:37] the function keys suddently stopped working overnight [20:37] seul: Try to update your bios, but be CAREFUL :-)) [20:37] seul, is that a desktop or a laptop you are using? [20:37] hi guys, i need to run some commands like this after the gnome boots, where should it go? "DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; export DISPLAY" [20:37] zteam: right now i cant even reach bios. stupid computer wont even boot up so i can see bios. [20:38] seul, it sounds like your bios / cmos battery is dead. [20:38] seul, sounds like bad ram or battery [20:38] thiefy_, i simply don't want it to be lossy.. it's also for archiving.. even if your ears don't notice the compression, it's hard to work with such recordings in the future and do some processing, because then the compression artefacts will suddenly be audible.. to be on the safe side i prefer flac [20:38] If I recursively copied a directory without using -p to preserve permissions, what are the chances of recovering the original permissions? [20:38] Anyone here knowledgeable about UPnP Media Servers on Ubuntu? [20:39] seul: Have you changed any BIOS setting? [20:39] it's possible that a torrent iso could be damaged? i mean downloaded with torrent [20:39] DEAD_BEEF, do you have the original? 100%. Not? 0% [20:39] rdz i hear ya... good point. hmm, i do not know of a good flac encoder though. hahah. just know of the one - that does mp3s. [20:39] thiefy_ and antlong: yes, it acctually said that the battery was low earlier. But i thought it was just because i had taken it out and reset the cmos. Is it normal that you have to change the battery sometimes? Computer is 1.5 years old. [20:39] smw: that's what I was afraid of [20:39] seul, its rare but it happens [20:39] Yoshimi: only a little upnp, not media [20:39] what's that for? [20:39] smw: luckily I'm not a sysadmin [20:39] seul, is it a laptop? [20:39] Ah, I need to find an alternative to using M$ on my server [20:39] I hate it, it's buggy and awful [20:40] quite a good netsplit though [20:40] thiefy_: no its a stationary. [20:40] a desktop... [20:40] seul, the lack of being able to even get to bios is normally due to bad ram [20:40] the battery we are talking about is a little one that is about the size of a wrist watch. [20:40] thiefy_, the encode is called flac.. but i am looking for something like jack, which does the ripping, encoding and tagging in one go [20:40] But the media server is much nicer [20:40] !netsplit [20:40] seul, do you see the tiny light, lit up on the motherboard [20:40] 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 [20:40] seul: or damaged mainboard too [20:41] antlong: what are you talking about? I know what the battery is [20:41] seul: try to remove one of your RAM modules (assuming you have more than one) [20:41] smw: is cp -R predictable in what permissions is changes/discards? [20:41] seul, what? [20:41] zteam: ok, i have 2. Ill remove the second one. [20:41] DEAD_BEEF, it makes everything the same permissions. [20:41] antlong: you were talking about some light in the pc or something [20:41] and then do the same for the other one - seul - [20:41] seul, no, its a small led on the motherboard [20:41] antlong: i have a green light on it [20:41] DEAD_BEEF, there is no data you can get from the permissions. [20:42] DEAD_BEEF, what happened? [20:42] seul, how many ram chips do you have [20:42] antlong: 2, at 2gig each [20:42] rdz: abcde, you can find some good example configs here http://www.andrews-corner.org/abcde.html [20:42] So nobody with UPnP media server knowledge? [20:42] seul, take one out and try to boot, if that doesnt work, put it back, take the other out and try to boot [20:42] seul, a good way to see if a PC's hardware is working well is to run an ubuntu live cd. (or usb key) if it boots and runs well, then your ram is fine, and the other components probaly are fine also. [20:43] antlong: ok, give me 5 [20:43] I added a 1TB drive and cp -Red my /home/user folder to the mounted drive then dropped to a root shell ... [20:43] thiefy_: well i cant even get to bios right now so. [20:43] do you hear beeps when you turn it on? [20:43] smw: ... then edited fstab, you get the idea [20:43] from the internel speaker? [20:43] thiefy_: i acctually have it in right now, hehe [20:43] thiefy_: no not right now. But give me 5 and ill remove some of the ram and tell you the results [20:44] DEAD_BEEF, makes sense. You can just chown your home directory to you [20:44] bad ram is prob not the case. that is just a random guess as to what is broken.... [20:44] if you can't get to the bios, then ram has nothing to do with that problem. [20:44] smw: well, I still have ownership, but not complete write perms [20:44] thiefy_, sure it would. bad ram would prevent you from getting to bios [20:44] DEAD_BEEF, then go through and change permissions as needed. For example, give 0 permissions to others for your home dir (not recursive). [20:45] DEAD_BEEF, that does not make sense [20:45] if the computer can't post. then i wouldn't look at the ram first. [20:45] bad ram would prevent doing anything [20:45] but yeah, sorry, you are correct. it does need ram to get to the bios. [20:45] DEAD_BEEF, ls -l your home dir [20:45] thiefy_ and antlong: i removed the ram one at a time, and still only black screen. Some random beeping but i think it does that every time i boot [20:45] smw: I'll have to check when I get back home [20:45] note the beeping. those are post codes. you can google themt o see what they mean. [20:46] seul random beeping is odd [20:46] thiefy_ and antlong: should i try to get a hold of a new battery? [20:46] DEAD_BEEF, ok [20:46] restart it again, and see what the post codes are saying. [20:46] how mant beeps? long or short ones? [20:46] seul, no if the battery was dead it wouldnt do anything [20:46] seul, probaly not. i bet the battery is fine. [20:46] yeah, what antlong said. heheh [20:46] seul, maybe something got unseated? try to reseat your chips [20:46] smw: thanks [20:46] thiefy_ and hi5: just one beep. But i think it has done that always, even when it was working [20:46] antlong battery is needed only to save parameters [20:46] cmos [20:46] one beep is normal. [20:46] it runs however [20:46] yes one is good [20:47] this might be a job for the geek squad lol [20:47] yep [20:47] antlong: what do you mean by geek squad? :P [20:47] is surely and hw issue [20:47] do what antlong said and remove and reinstall your ram and graphics card and whatever other cards you have in there. check all the power connectors. [20:47] like the ones in big bang theory show.. [20:47] seul, http://www.geeksquad.com/ [20:47] thiefy_: well said [20:48] :) [20:48] we'll fix him together! [20:48] heh [20:48] hi5 and thiefy_: oh ok like Chuck in Chuck :D [20:48] the three of us can solve it. [20:48] yep also him [20:48] that show is awesome - chuck. [20:48] i like the chick in that show. === sam-_-_ is now known as sam-_- [20:48] thiefy_: we will have to divide the invoice amount sent by him [20:48] walker is hooot :P [20:48] !ot | thiefy_ hi5 [20:48] thiefy_ hi5: #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! [20:48] for this workout [20:48] hi5 yeah, good point. [20:49] thiefy_ hi5 and antlong: okey, so this is the plan now, remove and reconnect all connectors. And then reboot an assload of times until it works [20:49] no-one helps for helping sake.. [20:49] seul, basically [20:49] Yvonne Strahovski [20:49] yum. [20:49] seul just reboot.. [20:49] Well, I'm back [20:49] nice girl [20:49] thiefy_: hi5 please keep to the topic [20:50] but still i's pick the cuoco..end OT [20:50] zteam: read what i wrote last time. any comments? [20:50] the topic was walker though! [20:50] seul, this happened to me once before and it turned out to be a bad ram chip. i also took off the heatsink and cleaned it out, reseated all the chips and done a bunch of crap [20:50] what does sudo sumake do? [20:50] seul, don't remove the heatsink off your main processor though. you need thermal paste if you reapply it. [20:50] gives you super user rights [20:50] antlong: wow, that sounds like something i would mess up. Maybe ill call the swedish equivalent of geek squad [20:51] su=super user [20:51] seul: I didn't see that, since I lost my connection... [20:51] thiefy I'm still having issue with that dlink wifi dongle [20:51] zteam: okey, so this is the plan now, remove and reconnect all connectors. And then reboot an assload of times until it works [20:51] seul, just dont remove the heatsink (im assuming you dont have conductive gel to apply) [20:51] shoul it be sudo su make or sudo sumake? [20:51] antlong: i probably wont remove anything. Sounds dangerous [20:52] alaing, it's a driver issue. really the best advice i can come up with is google the model number of it and the word ubuntu, see if other's (people much smarter than me) have solved the problem. [20:52] seul, if i was you i would take all the ram out, take the battery out and wait 5 mins [20:52] antlong: ok, ill remove a bunch of stuff and so on. brb [20:52] thiefy I'm trying this out http://linuxforums.org.uk/hardware-compatibility/ralink-rt2870-based-usb-wireless-n-adapters-(ubuntu)/ [20:52] alaing does it get detected or not? [20:52] seul, just make sure things are plugged in nice and tight. and yeah, reboot with the linux live cd or usb key. well, first you wanna get to the bios... so if tht works, you are getting somewhere. [20:53] seul: sounds good... If you have a older motherboard with SATA-harddrives attached, check them as well [20:53] hi5: it used to detect my network but now it does [20:53] alaing, that link did not work. [20:53] how can i have a bash script issue commands after initiating an ssh session [20:53] repeat from earlier [20:53] rather than waiting for the connection to end [20:53] can someone help me install my dlink dwa-140 usb wifi dongle. At first I plugged it in and it saw some networks but would not connect to my network eve nafter turning off mac access control and encryption. I then followed this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1016108 but with the latest drviers from ralink. Now it simply does not see any networks. I may have done something... [20:53] ...wrong as I left out part 8 as I was not sure what I needed to replace but I did do the rest of them [20:53] alaing: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:53] sorry FloodBot :p [20:54] MrUnagi, ssh server cmd arg1 arg2 [20:54] smw: so ssh user@host.net echo hello? [20:54] I'm now trying a more updated thread here http://linuxforums.org.uk/hardware-compatibility/ralink-rt2870-based-usb-wireless-n-adapters-(ubuntu)/ [20:54] MrUnagi, yep [20:54] seul: some old motherboards do have problems with SATA-cabels, that may glitch [20:54] zteam: ok, brb with results.. [20:55] if your computer catches fire, unplug it mate. [20:55] smw: any way to keep it from closing the session after the command? [20:55] MrUnagi: screen [20:55] MrUnagi, the only thing I can think of is to run bash after. [20:56] MrUnagi, it is a hack, but it would work [20:56] how do i revert back to before I did the first lot of make and make install [20:56] thiefy_: also an extinguisher could be suitable.. [20:56] nothingspecial, not screen. [20:56] Anybody here can tell me about a good IRC-client please? :-) [20:56] kvirc [20:56] chatzilla [20:56] smw: run a script on the server? [20:56] i guess that would work [20:56] MrUnagi, no, run the cmd, then as one of the cmds, run bash [20:57] smw: #!/bin/bash? [20:57] MrUnagi, no [20:57] smw: sorry for my ignorance [20:57] I'm trying to install a package from a ppa [20:58] but it doesn't seem to show up on tab completion [20:58] alaing: okey... [20:58] and when I apt-get install it by name it doesn't work (can't be found) [20:58] MrUnagi, I am not sure what you should do. [20:58] using backtrack can you test if your wpa password is just fine? [20:58] This is the ppa: https://launchpad.net/~gstreamer-developers/+archive/ppa [20:58] I think I've added it correctly [20:58] !enter | cab938_ [20:58] cab938_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:59] sry [20:59] cab938_: did you update? [20:59] is there a way to change the grub2 splash screen on an encrypted drive? [20:59] in ubuntu 10.10 [21:00] Wow, had to go through FloodBot security, hadn't seen that in a while [21:00] MrUnagi, you can make it so every time you login a cmd is run. [21:00] I did update, nothingspecial , here was the output: http://pastebin.com/DAtELgjQ [21:00] Is some app in mono default in ubuntu ? [21:00] cab938_: well if you did, it should find it easily... :) [21:00] It seems that the main launchpad was retrieved but the gstreamer one ignored. No idea why this might be. [21:01] thiefy_ it depends on how the ram is bad. If it's broken in such a way that it acts as if it's not there, then you won't be getting into the bios with it. [21:01] cab938_: try to use apt-get search and see what it finds then [21:01] LOL, i was just reading something from a long time ago, i just didnt realize that the scrollbar was halfway up the screed :D [21:01] hi5 how do i use backtrack? [21:02] !backtrack [21:02] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [21:02] alaing: i think with a live cd [21:02] Is Ubuntu prone to Mono exploit ? [21:02] if they have one either [21:02] hogdwarf, not as far as I know [21:03] what kind of exploit is that? buffer overflow one? [21:03] how do I uninstall an adobe application? [21:03] zteam, When I run aptitude search gst-plugins-ugly0.10 I get nothing, just a little grind then another prompt [21:03] Whats the correct channel for an issue with NVidia Binary Driver and 10.10, i have a GTS250, which is apparently not supported [21:03] hi5: dunno what kind of it is [21:03] alaing: thanks for the tip, this one seems really promising [21:03] livingdaylight, how did you install it? [21:03] its local root privileges escalation [21:03] arbitrary code execution [21:03] cab938_, do you have the right repositories on? [21:03] cragdor: you card HAS to be supported [21:03] I use it and its browser based. [21:03] how did you figured out the contrary? [21:03] zteam: no problems [21:03] smw, its an adobe application so with Adobe [21:04] I'm starting to hate this wifi [21:04] hogdwarf: i see..a common one so [21:04] It is supported according to Appendix A of the README, but ubuntu reports its not [21:04] i dont know btw [21:04] livingdaylight, did you use a package? [21:04] livingdaylight, was it just a random binary? [21:04] smw, no, just right click and open with adobe [21:04] smw, Spaz an adobe twitter client [21:04] cragdor: if i were i would try maybe the 10.04 version with a live cd and see if working [21:05] its mentioned it was tested against Suse [21:05] Can someone tell me the correct way to boot to text login? Should I create a functioning rc3, change rc2, or something else entirely? [21:05] but [21:05] cab938_: well, try to search for gst-plugins or something instead then? [21:05] gts250 is quite old nowadays [21:05] livingdaylight, no idea, sorry, I did not understand [21:05] oh do i revert back after doing make && make install. basically I wont to undo http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1016108 [21:05] i dont know any hardening part which are not included in suse [21:05] people who were helping me earlier: ok so i reset the cmos battery and booted. Now I get "CMOS BATTERY LOW" and press f1 to resume. Is it normal to say that it is low here? [21:06] hi5: Not that old..... Ubuntu 10.04 worked great but was a pain in the *** to install due to fake raid, this has only happened since upgrading to 10.10 [21:06] zteam, it still doesn't find it. Is it normal for this ppa to be ignored on an apt-get update? [21:06] hogdwarf: that's a very technical issue..i bet maybe 10 of 1500 people here knows what you're talking about [21:06] seul maybe the battery has gone [21:06] but did you solve your previous problem? [21:06] hi, what version of virtualbox should contain the ubuntu repo ? [21:07] hi5: and i dont know if it has something to do with lsm [21:07] how do i get rid of compiz? [21:07] is the 3.X or 4.0 ? [21:07] hi5: i have never even heard of people having to change their battery. I think that the earlier problem will come back after i exit the bios [21:07] seul: Nope, it isn't, try with replacing that battery [21:07] seul changing battery happens..usually because of a defective one [21:07] or after many time of use [21:08] azert: you find that on the vbox website [21:08] or if you always unplug power when pc is off [21:08] hi5: btw do you know how to compile mono app ? i think that PoC is in mono but never did that [21:08] !compiz [21:08] Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [21:08] Hi. I'm trying to permanently add "noapic" to the grub2 menu, but when I restart it does not take effect. I have to manually edit the command in the boot menu in order to boot properly. I cannot boot if "noapic" is added to the command. I already tried "gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub" and added the command to it and it still does not work. Please help!

[21:08] if I have a PID, what command line tool can I use to find how much memory that process is using? [21:08] i dont know mate...compile is too hard for my knowledge yet :-D [21:08] mayra: after editing the file you have to run « sudo update-grub » [21:08] ohh.. [21:09] mayra: after editing /etc/default/grub that's it [21:09] seul i guess you can take an old one, but check voltage! [21:09] haha [21:09] or you will fry the board [21:09] boy..let me try that.thank you [21:09] mayra: np [21:09] nabend [21:09] hi5: ok. maybe i should just call the repair guy..

[21:11] seul, when you turn on the computer, tell us again what happens. [21:12] thiefy_: yeah i dont care about the money, im just kinda depressed that it aint working. [21:12] thiefy_: the fans go on at like full speed. And the screen is black. [21:12] user: sudo adduser usernamehere users [21:12] alaing: it's not so common problem, if your electric is always plugged [21:12] seul, what i maeant was, don't call a repair guy. hi5 IS your repair guy. and he's free! after you buy him a beer. [21:12] seul, you get no video output whatsoever? [21:12] i bet it can last tens of yrs [21:12] hey erUSUL [21:12] seul. then i think your battery is fine. [21:12] a very big one pls [21:12] zaery: none. [21:13] Leoneof: hi [21:13] beer xd [21:13] lol ok hi5 [21:13] Thanks. And how do I delete a user from a group? [21:13] erUSUL: somehow i have been installing modules, and then after restart my pc...the Sound doesn't work, there are volume but Hardware is none, how to fix it? [21:13] hi5 yes i know i just remember it before pentiums started coming out [21:13] also a mojito will be highly appreciated :-D [21:13] seul, do you have a video card in that mofo? [21:13] seul, have you tried using only one stick of ram(assuming you have more than one)? [21:13] user: man userdel or use the users and groups gui system>admin...>user and groups [21:13] hi5 and of course the cmos hack of reseting the password [21:13] thiefy: yes a radeon HD4850. I have ttried the onboard video aswell [21:14] zaery: yes, someone told me to earlier. [21:14] OMG i reset my machine and hey the wifi is working wtf [21:14] erUSUL, I don't want to delete user, I just want to remove him from a group. I have only CLI. [21:14] Leoneof: define « installing modules, » what did you actually did? [21:14] what happens when you plug your monitor into the on board vid card? [21:14] seul, and you've tried each stick individually? [21:14] alaing: Yay. [21:14] * alaing was so close to kicking the side of his server to see if it was still working [21:14] alaing, that's cause i fixed it. and hi5 helped too. [21:14] zaery; yes. [21:14] alaing, you owe hi5 a beer. [21:14] erUSUL: i think it was about alsa :| [21:14] How do I list all groups here? [21:15] thiefy: nothing. Still just a black screen. [21:15] lol I would buy you both a beer [21:15] Leoneof: what did you do? you followed a guide i can read or something? [21:15] How do I list all user groups here? [21:15] alaing, come to canada, i'll be waiting at the airport for you. [21:16] seul, when you boot that mofo, put your hand on the hard drive. do you feel it spinning? or vibrating? [21:16] seul: so, all you get is a black screen after you picked out, the battery, is that correct? [21:16] user: "here" being what? your ubuntu or this IRC network? [21:16] guntbert: ubuntu [21:16] thiefy: uyes i have done that, its working [21:16] erUSUL: didn't follow any guide, but i was stupid enough to search and play about "modules" :( [21:16] user: cat /etc/group [21:17] i am running an old ibm thinkpad R31 installed now with your 10.10 version. problem with power management : laptop does not resume from sleep when closing lid (tried pressing everything) hibernation resume works ok. there seems to be a bug but can not decipher it well - some guidance would be appreciated thank you! btw i installed a dual boot xp OS on this too, and sleep/hibernate work fine on that end. [21:17] thiefy_: sounds like a threat lol....my wife will be happy once i get this server out of the lounge and into the spair room [21:17] zteam: after i picked out the battery i goit this screen saying my battery was low. When i clicked f1 to continue pretty much nothing happen [21:17] seul, rip out all cards that you can. liket he vid card, the sound card, the network card, one of the ram dims... unplug the cd roms... everything you can so that it can still boot. [21:17] Leoneof: reaaly dunno; if i do not know what you did how are we supposed to fix it? [21:17] Is it possible to upgrade a single package on my server without having to do an entire dist-upgrade? [21:17] erUSUL: :/ [21:17] After running an update, my Ubuntu hard-froze and wouldn't even reply to SysRq + REISUB [21:17] savid: apt-get update packagename iirc [21:17] Why is this? [21:18] alaing, no no, not a threat, i will welcome you at the airport. but i will direct you to the lounge where you will be forced to buy me and hi5 a beer. [21:18] user: it says it's up-to-date, but it's an old version. [21:18] It returned to what appeared to be the boot screen but with the mouse visible, and it wouldn't move or respond [21:18] I had to pull the battery. [21:18] thiefy_: hmm.. ill probably destroy something else. My history of "fixing" stuff is kinda bad. [21:18] erUSUL: brb [21:18] I'm trying to update to git >=1.7 [21:18] currently have 1.6 [21:19] seul, i wonder if the computer is getting enough power to fully boot. that is why i'm thinking to rip out things that are taking power. [21:19] seul: okey, here is what I would do in your place: 1. Remove the battery and take it to a clock store or some computer store. [21:19] thiefy_: i doubt it. I have a 650W corsair.. [21:20] <|Bboy|> Anyone have experience in TerminatorX [21:20] seul how old is that computer? [21:20] thiefy_: so you got a beer also for you..well made [21:20] that is why i'm here hi5. to earn beers. [21:20] seul: 2. After you done that, you may use "Ultimate Boot CD" to check your hardware [21:20] thiefy_: about 1.5 years. All new components [21:21] i really doubt the battery died in 1.5 years. i have computers that are 7 years old and the battery i just fine in them. [21:21] zteam: kinda hard to do that, considering how i cant even reach bios. [21:21] like homer? [21:21] How do I install it? -su: groupdel: command not found [21:21] thiefy_: exactly, i have too. I see no reasong why it should have died. Worked fine like 5 hours ago. [21:21] hi5, yeah, beer makes it all worthwile. [21:21] seul, i don't suppose you have a cpu that'll fit in that socket and some extra thermal paste, do you? [21:22] you said that [21:22] but mojito is not bad either [21:22] zaery: no i dont. [21:22] i don't think i've ever had one of those. but we can't speak of this or some op will tell us we are off topic and take it to some other channel. [21:22] is there a way to grep a log for an exact phrase and take those entries and put it in a new file? [21:22] |Bboy|: Use tmux or screen to enrich your expirience. [21:23] seul, did you remove the battery from the motherboard? [21:23] seul: Yes, that's why I suggest you take your cmos-battery to a computer store, so they can replace it for you [21:23] thiefy_: yes i removed it, waited a little, and put it right back in. [21:23] zteam: ok, ill look into that. [21:23] thiefy_: I would buy you and hi5 a beer regardless......I'm based in UK btw [21:23] seul, do that again, but this time turn off the power supply, unplug the computer, remove the batt and wait 45 seconds, then plug everything back in. that'll totally reset the cmos. [21:24] alaing, ok, we will fly there then. [21:24] hi i have usb adsl modem .i ubable to connect to internet. can some body help ????????????????????

[21:39] tested on two pcs seems to be the same on both [21:39] oh just lovely, but somebody told to shut up about all conversations that don't have to do with Ubuntu, so I better leave it at that [21:39] alaing, yes. it was. haaaaaaaah.

[21:41] alaing: please stop those off topic comments [21:41] ok sorry [21:41] JackSteam, in that case, i highly suggest just going with steam in wine, and reading http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9901 [21:41] thiefy_:r u there ?? === Guest92649 is now known as rvdavid [21:41] i am upsla [21:41] are you?

[21:42] alaing, you can't. You need to do a fresh install. You can not update from 8.04 to 10.10. [21:42] not even update from 8.04 to 9.04 then 10? [21:42] I have a program in python that is asking for python 2.7 or greater, how do I install it?

You'll also take a whole lot longer. Weird things happen when you update. In my opinion, a fresh install is best. [21:43] alaing:it will be waste of time.just download 10.10 if u want to be up to date. [21:44] alaing, just make sure you back up all your stuff. Another tip: if you haven't already, keep your personal information on a separate partition. [21:44] is this why its better to keep on top of releases? [21:44] thiefy_ yeah thanks for the tip brother, I was actually testing nickserv killed imposters using my name, but then got _totally_ distracted when a girl came in lol back on T. [21:44] alaing: You can do it, but you'll regret it! Do a clean new install.. [21:44] JackSteam, what part of http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_under_Linux#Save_space_on_dual-boot_machines is causing the confusion? [21:45] alaing:absoluetly.

[21:45] I suppose its a good way to get rid of the bloat [21:45] thiefy_:k [21:45] alaing, yep. It is a lot better to keep on top of releases. If you want to save all of your packages so you don't have to reinstall you may wanna check out apt-on-cd. [21:45] rvdavid, lisa1 is very pretty, you should see her smile. very nice. [21:45] zaery, the part with the command for terminal. i get an error, when i checked the error it seems i need to 'mount' the windows drive. but i don't know how [21:46] cyril, you may wanna check out a dev channel. [21:46] lisa1: Well, you can ask almost anything about Ubuntu here [21:46] @chowder, yes, any suggestion? [21:46] i'm going to be running my headless ubuntu server how do i set it up to auto update if the need arises [21:46] cyril, I think there's an ubuntu-developers channel [21:46] and add it to a cron jon before it shutdowns in the evening [21:46] * iflema updates/upgrades just fine :P [21:47] alaing: are you sure you want it to update automatically? [21:47] @chowder ok, thks [21:47] where can i find out why linux wont shutdown my pc anymore? [21:47] reboot either not working [21:47] hi5: google [21:47] thiefy_ d*mn you! you got a pic! I definitely should take macking classes from you! :P [21:47] JackSteam, when you click on "places", do you see an entry that says 200gb filesystem(or however big your windows partition is)? [21:47] you are of little help here so [21:48] zaery, no i don't [21:48] ubottu:!auto update [21:48] alaing: but you can use aptitude's -y option to obviate any user input [21:48] ubottu:!auto update === todd_ is now known as Yoshimi [21:49] thiefy_:any suggestions ??????? [21:49] !auto update [21:49] hi5: sorry :p but you should've made a more specific query. Running in here blindly asking for help will get you nowhere, at least with me. Google has solved many of my problems without me having to bother anyone. Forums and IRC should be your last stop. [21:49] !auto-update [21:49] JackSteam, are there any filesystems on the left bar of a nautilus window? [21:49] !autoupdate [21:49] !auto-update [21:49] zaery, come again? not sure what you mean [21:50] tensorpudding: what does that command do [21:50] but anyway [21:50] ubottu:!update [21:50] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [21:50] jacksteam, if you open up your home folder, there's a bat on the left with things like "Documents" "Music", etc, right? [21:50] aptitude update; aptitude upgrade will update package definitions and upgrade packages [21:50] jacksteam: a bar, not a bat [21:50] chowder: buy maybe someone else got a very similar problem, so we can figure it out however [21:50] using the -y option, it will automatically assume [yes] to all questions [21:50] thiefy_:any suggestions ??????? [21:51] rvdavid, i will share her, but you have to come to canada. [21:51] and you can pipe the text output to a logfile, and put it in cron to be run however often you want [21:51] upsla, this link looks good: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/pipermail/ilugc/2006-August/027978.html but i fear it is quite hard to accomplish what you want to do. [21:51] searching in google can be very painful and timeless [21:51] following http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 i should be able to use xrandr over ssh like : xrandr -display :0.0, but i still get a "cant open display" any ideas ? [21:51] zaery, yes [21:51] so if i add a crontab to aptitude -y it shoudl auto update? [21:51] jacksteam, do any of those say filesystem? [21:52] aptitude update; aptitude upgrade -y [21:52] its just a webserver so not to concerned [21:52] thiefy_:i tried that one too.!!!!!!!!!! [21:52] zaery yes [21:52] tensorpudding: both of those commands? [21:52] yes [21:52] hi5, did you try 'shoutdown -h now' in terminal === thiefy_ is now known as thief === thief is now known as thiefy [21:53] the former updates the package database, the latter parses the package databse to find any packages which can be upgraded to a new version, and their dependencies, and installs them [21:53] jacksteam, click it, see if you get something with a "Documents and settings" folder and a "program files" folder [21:53] I alsoready have @midnight shutdown -h now can i add those commands before the shutdown [21:53] thiefy:i tried that one too.!!!!!!!!!! [21:53] i will, thanks; it just plays the logout music but no more [21:53] upsla, it really seems difficult to get that to work. i would try a different modem. one that is NOT usb. [21:53] you have it set to automatically shut down? [21:53] hi5, or did you try ' reboot' in terminal [21:53] hi5 i changed my mind, you can have lisa. me and rvdavid have discovered something that you should know. [21:54] bye allll [21:54] good luck upsla :( [21:54] thiefy: drop the off topic comments or i will be forced to drop you. [21:54] zarey, i just see bin, boot, cdrom etc [21:54] maybe you can made it a bit clear though..in pvt [21:54] you could write a small script and put it in cron.daily [21:54] thiefy:thk [21:54] tensorpudding: yes as no one will be using the server so i shut it down and my bios boots up the machine again in the morning [21:54] automatic updates does mean that you might have kernel updates which cause breakage [21:55] though kernel updates causing non-booting systems is rare nowadays methinks [21:55] ngawww there goes the one girl I'll ever see for a while... *cue wawawa music* [21:55] breakage in what sense?

[22:00] zaery, yes. it says 'unmount' so i'm guessing it is mounted? [22:00] ivve never writen a script before [22:01] jacksteam, there's a big white(or grey) bar in the middle of the screen, above unmount, right, with multiple parts that each say XXX GB ext4 or XXX gb swap, right?

I'm trying to connect to Network Access Point, but blueman says Connection Failed: Network Manager Failed to activate the connection [22:02] zaery, might be worth mentioning i did install ubuntu via wubi. incase that helps [22:02] alaing, if you can do js you can write a simple script === KinsOne is now known as KindOne [22:03] any do tutorial [22:03] do=good === KindOne is now known as Guest42916 [22:03] alaing, there's a few bash tutorials out there.

Then now that I have reinstalled ubuntu server and virtualbox it doesn't seem to like that vdisk anymore I mount the vdisk that is kept on my dropbox directory though.

[22:10] thanks [22:11] ty [22:11] NeedsHelpWithBoo: This is a primary design mistake in Virtual Box: You can't easily move or restore vbox machines because of the way it registers vdisks.

[22:13] dajhorn okay thanks, I'll try to do the import/export now, the bad this is because I thought it can be done this way and i had previously got it to work on a few machines i didn't do a export/import so now i'm more or less screwed with my svn source stuck in there.

[22:15] danielc1234: sudo dpkg -i libperl5.10_5.10.1-12ubuntu2_amd64.deb [22:16] how can I setup a cron job to execute once a year (if off topic then please advise room) [22:16] dajhorn I just realised the (initramfs) [22:16] a is shell prompt so i might be able to recover my code even if i can't restore the vm :D [22:16] dreewill: thanks a lot, do I have to restart? [22:16] jacksteam, so steam sees that the games are downloaded, but doesn't start them? [22:16] I'm having trouble running wow. I've the latest version of ubuntu and wine. I tried adding the SET gxApi "opengl" line to my Config.wtf but for some reason the graphics are super laggy and I often get an error that kicks me out of the game before it even loads. [22:16] Danielc1234: don't think so but i'm not sure [22:17] dreewill: would you happen to know where I have to set the server up to listen for an ip address? I have a public ip that I want to use for this server? [22:17] zaery, i right click steam select TF2 it shows TF is starting then friends list shows as in-game not a second later it shows im not? very confusing [22:17] NeedsHelpWithBoo: If you don't care about the VM, I'm pretty sure that Virtual Box has an option to mount the vdisk on loopback. You could just copy your assets out of the vdisk using the host operating system. [22:19] hi [22:19] ive got ssh into a machine with no X forwarding [22:19] how can install a package from ftp ? [22:19] dajhorn thanks for that, will try that as a last resort to save my assets. cheers! [22:19] Danielc1234: sorry no idea [22:19] How do I install the proprietary drivers for an ATI Radeon 9700? === mbvpixies78 is now known as Danny78 [22:20] anyone know how to correctly have the ip address in the interfaces file? [22:20] illuminaris, go to system - then administration - then select additional drivers. does it show up there for you? [22:21] I have an xfce panel app and system monitor saying my CPU is running at 100%, but IRC is all I am using. It's a 1.7GHz AMD Athlon XP [22:21] any suggestions on what to do to fix this before it burns itself out? [22:21] illuminaris, this should be helpful to you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [22:21] thieven` no it doesn't show up, it says no proprietary drivers are in use on this system [22:22] jacksteam, try the second to last comment on this page: http://appdb.winehq.org/commentview.php?iAppId=5823&iVersionId=9901&iThreadId=65048 [22:22] Danny78, in the terminal type 'top' that'll show you what is running and going crazy. [22:22] apparently it's a 9600 not 9700 [22:22] everything is going smoothly... could it just be bad data on both parts? [22:22] illuminaris, that is ok, that site should do the job. [22:24] thieven` thank you [22:24] hey guys, i changed my default shell to zsh with chsh ... but every terminal I open still has it as /bin/bash, wtf? [22:24] illuminaris, i find that ati graphics cards are quite annoying with linux. [22:25] thieven` my 9600 isn't supported by the proprietary drivers listed in the guide :( [22:25] Hi guys, I was wondering why, when I run Steam in ubuntu, it closes as soon as it loads up...even though I installed it through wine? [22:25] kinabalu, if you go to system - admin - then to users and groups. if you click on the advanced button with your username selected, in there there is an advanced tab. in there you can set the shell to use. [22:26] illuminaris: that doesnt make sense - 9600 should be supported since 10 years [22:26] what's the best way to allow an /etc/init.d/ here prompt for a password when starting up [22:27] thieven: thanks, it's primegrid (boinc) [22:27] I want to be able to use the --daemon option [22:27] hi5 so what should i do? install the driver anyway even though it's not listed? [22:27] thieven`: yeah, it's changed there. i assume its the same as chsh [22:27] cant you use it only with open one? [22:28] hi5 i have no idea [22:28] zaery, thankyou ever so much, its working now. any problems i'll be sure to ask :) [22:28] i mean the open driver [22:29] dajhorn thanks for helping me out, I followed your advise to check the settings and found that my vm's hdd was mounted as a SATA drive instead of it's original's SCSI. All is well now, I can browse my repository. cheers! [22:29] NeedsHelpWithBoo: Welcome. [22:29] illuminaris: There is no resstricted driver for the ATI 9600 anymore. ATI stopped support two years ago. On the other hand, the R300 chip series (ATI 9xxx) is the best supported chip with the opensource driver. [22:29] Hi guys, I was wondering why, when I run Steam in ubuntu, it closes as soon as it loads up...even though I installed it through wine? [22:29] Hello, is there any way for me to run a browser(firefox) on ubuntu server, and make a script that would have it load a webpage and return the rendered html? [22:30] give the browser an html file ("") [22:30] and the browser should give me back : Hello World! [22:30] kinabalu, maybe... i am sorry, that is all i know about that issue. hehe. i'm not as smart as i seem. [22:30] minimec for some reason i can't run wow, the graphics are ultra laggy and it keeps crashing before i can get in, any ideas? should i be using opengl? should i not? [22:30] illuminaris, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Maverick_Installation_Guide this seems to have the answer. it appears the open source drivers can work. they don't get the full effects, but they seem to be able to work. [22:31] illuminaris, fresh air. [22:31] thieven` i'm checking it now [22:31] illuminaris: You may have optimal support with the gallium drivers from the xedgers ppa, but specially the ATI 9600 works pretty well with the norml mesa opengl driver (I have one in an old HP laptop) [22:31] antlong, lol [22:31] illuminaris: keep in mind that 9600 has little features for nowadays [22:32] jacksteam: yay! I'm glad i could help! [22:32] anyone here knows when a new version of amule will be released? on their channel nobody's there [22:32] Gaybrush88, not sure [22:32] Hello everyone, I have a ubuntu server overheating problem. Currently my temperatures are hovering around 70 degrees C and I'm only running bittorrent,samba and hosting a vm on my server. When I try to do video conversion, it overheats to about 100degrees C before it shuts itself down. I've tried installing lm-sensors and adding some modules to /etc/modules but it doesn't bring my temperatures down. Is there a way for me to c [22:32] ontrol the fanspeeds on my ubuntu server? The machine installed with the server is a headless a8js asus laptop. [22:33] i looked for a way to delete default GIMP fonts but i cannot find help... does anyone know [22:33] NeedsHelpWithBoo http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846480 [22:33] antlong, not sure of what? [22:34] when a new version is coming out [22:34] ok [22:34] thieven` it says right at the top my card is not supported, i don't understand, how is that guide supposed to help? [22:34] antlong: thanks for that i'll follow through and see if i can get the temperatures down. Can you tell me a rough gauge of what the 'normal' temperatures should be? [22:35] illuminaris: maybe full effects arent, but it cant be unsupported out of the box [22:35] NeedsHelpWithBoo, probably like 100F-120F [22:36] hi5 it's not saying my card is unsupported by ubuntu, it's saying that the proprietary drivers are not available, i can only use open source drivers with the 9600 [22:36] illuminaris, i read on a site that the open source drivers worked. but that was quite old. and i don't know how credible that website is. i'm sorry. [22:36] my comp is running fine, i just need to get wow working... [22:36] and so the issue is? [22:36] oh [22:36] hi5 and thieven` the issue is that when i try to start wow up, it lags at the load screen real bad and then when i log in and try to get into a character it crashes [22:36] antlong: wow thats about 38 degrees celsius so my server is running at double that temp now. [22:37] I have a new ltsp setup! but the client logins are not reliable... the correct name and password sometimes get refused by the server... is there anything that can be done about this? [22:37] antlong: alright then thanks for that info, I'll try to follow the guide to get to that temp. Cheers! [22:37] NeedsHelpWithBoo, desktop? [22:37] illuminaris: other games are fine? === ubuntu__ is now known as Bardes [22:37] antlong: its a laptop [22:37] NeedsHelpWithBoo, shit, i would probably try to jack up the fan speed, but something is def wrong. how old is it? [22:37] Does anyone know a way to recover an ext4 partition [22:37] illuminaris, it seems that the support that the open source drives give for that card suck. seems that it's doing all it can but the support is not good enough. [22:37] hi5 i haven't tried other games [22:38] is it possible to grep or otherwise take an ip that is in a text file and put it in a new txt file? [22:38] Bardes, parted magic is a great distro. testdisk is an app that can help which comes with it. [22:38] a suggestion for nice mootools gallery creation software? [22:38] keep in mind that your card could possibly be simply non enough for games - at least in linux [22:38] antlong: its about 2-3 years old. It used to run windows server2003 with no overheating problems running about the same amount of apps though. [22:38] I have UBCD here it has testdisk [22:39] how do I use testdisk? [22:39] MrUnagi: i'm not sure, but maybe grep then cat the output? === Balsaq is now known as uBUXUBu [22:39] aeon-ltd: that will cat the entire line.....which i have done......i was hoping for a way to grab the ip from each line [22:39] Bardes, that is quite general question. it'd be best to look here for help with it: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step [22:39] MrUnagi, grep '^[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}$' file.txt > newfile.txt [22:40] pure_hate: i thought it would be something like that [22:40] illuminaris: Here's a recent ati GPU test. --> The x1950 is also based on the R300 chip... http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_driver_q111&num=1 [22:40] pure_hate: is that perl? [22:40] MrUnagi, no [22:40] Just grep [22:40] OK [22:40] antlong: I think the problem is fan control too so hopefully that guide helps me bump up the fan speed. I have a small usb cooler stand it's sitting on now to try and keep the temps down. over the weekend it overheated consistently when i tried to convert videos using handbrake. [22:40] pure_hate: so that info is in the man? [22:40] illuminaris: WOW will be limit with the opensource driver. [22:40] MrUnagi, yup [22:41] pure_hate: i apologize [22:41] Pure_hate: aren't you usually in backtrack? [22:41] MrUnagi, It can be done many ways, thats just the first one I thought off, sed and awk can do it too [22:41] NeedsHelpWithBoo, hmnnn, maybe software related actually [22:41] MrUnagi, Why in the world are you apologizing [22:41] NeedsHelpWithBoo, i would see if your drivers are optimal/updated [22:41] canon, yes I come out to play sometimes [22:42] lol, right no [22:42] on [22:42] pure_hate: because i didnt read the man and i know that is annoying [22:42] my and my GF's ubuntu machines crashed over the past few days.. it must be due to a recent ubuntu system update? she has a fresh install and i have a 1yr old install.. both diff laptops(hardware) [22:42] any reports of a bad ubuntu system update ? [22:42] MrUnagi, Thats pretty advanced grep so not anoying. Took me many years of doing it wrong to get there [22:43] minimec I just tried loading wow without opengl in the config.wtf file and it worked alright, i was able to get into the game and into my character but it was ultra laggy, so why is the opengl mode crashing it? [22:43] algien me ayuda aintalar sony vega en linux [22:43] pure_hate: up for a re-drection question? [22:43] en ubuentu [22:43] ubuntu [22:44] antlong: i tried updating my graphics drivers 2 rebuilds back to the proprietary nvidia ones and my install went kapuut... so i'm more keen on trying to bump up my fanspeeds for now ^_^ [22:44] Blue1, I can try [22:44] es | nabelitro [22:44] NeedsHelpWithBoo good luck [22:45] someone forgot ! [22:45] pure_hate: why doesn't this work (runs as root) /usr/bin/rsync -azvu --exclude '.Trash-0' \ [22:45] /home/ /media/bfdlinux/Homer/homerbkup/ &> /var/log/waynodaily.log [22:45] !es | nabelitro [22:45] nabelitro: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [22:46] pure_hate: says I don't have permission [22:47] illuminaris: I guess that you are reaching the limits of the card (and driver)... Optimal performance would probably be a 2.6.37 kernel in combination with the gallium drivers. even then, not sure that wow is playable. [22:47] Blue1, What doesnt work exactly? === christian is now known as Guest63768 [22:47] #scribus [22:47] hi [22:47] pure_hate: the redirection creates a zero byte file [22:48] Blue1, Ahh permisions is prolly because you user cant create the log file [22:48] oh your running as root [22:48] pure_hate: in my own directory? [22:48] hmm [22:48] having trouble with my wifi atm... When I try to connect it asks for WEP, then give it the correct WEP, then it runs for about 30 seconds, then it asks again. [22:48] Blue1 pure_hate sudo access isn't granted after a redirect or pipe IIRC [22:48] zaery, yet another problem. updated my Graphic drives, rebooted and the games are no longer there. [22:48] hi , can I ask a question? [22:49] pure_hate: i must be doing something wrong because the txt it makes is empty [22:49] !ask | nuradin [22:49] nuradin: 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. :-) [22:49] Blue1, I normally log like this first of all -logfile=\home\backup\rsync.log -logmode=append [22:49] X14U2NVX, that net card are you using? [22:49] rubbs: so what's the soloution? [22:49] zaery, to clarify. they are no longer runable from steam. although they are still in the Wine C:\ drive [22:49] yeah [22:49] its [22:49] Blue1, use rsyncs logging is what I would do [22:49] Blue1: I believe he has to do something like sudo su - and then run the command as a full root user. [22:49] BCM4312 [22:49] pure_hate: okay but how do I do that? === erkan^2 is now known as erkan^ [22:50] Broadcom? [22:50] yes [22:50] rubbs: ahh okay I could try that. [22:50] Blue1, I showed you already rsync blah blah -logfile=\home\backup\rsync.log -logmode=append [22:50] I use paltalk and I want to play rythmbox in the room without microphone how can do that,i'm using paltalk express on debian squeeze [22:50] X14U2NVX: Ok, what drivers are you using? [22:50] antlong: is there something else i need to do before i sudo apt-get install powersaved ? I can't seem to find the packages for it [22:50] Blue1: er sorry mean that not as "he" but 'you' also please be careful, you will have different evniromnent variables too. [22:50] Blue1: I'd try what pure_hate showed you first [22:51] join #codeigniter [22:51] oops sorry [22:51] rubbs I will thanks - guess I missed it first time [22:51] powersave: pm-utils-powersave-policy - lightweight power saving policy when on battery [22:51] Blue1: np. [22:51] NeedsHelpWithBoo, try: apt-cache search fan speed [22:51] theres a bunch of options in there [22:52] Both the B43 and the STA drivers don't work >.> [22:52] X14U2NVX: That's bad... [22:52] antlong thanks! [22:53] NeedsHelpWithBoo, http://thinkfan.sourceforge.net/ [22:54] I use paltalk and I want to play rythmbox in the room without microphone how can do that,i'm using paltalk express on debian squeeze ?any suggestion? [22:54] Any chance I could get help with my wifi now? [22:54] antlong alright i've installed that, looks like i need a reboot [22:54] NeedsHelpWithBoo, ok ill bbl if anything [22:55] antlong fingers crossed. :D [22:55] hey antlong [22:55] can you help with wifi problem? [22:55] X14U2NVX, sure but i gotta go, lets try to make it quick [22:55] kk [22:55] any body use paltalk here? [22:55] Hi, I am going to install Ubuntu Server 10.10 onto my server, so I was watching and reading a few guides. All of them mention a 'swap' space partion, what is this, do I need it, and why?.. [22:56] Every time I enter my WEP encryption (yes I know it is correct) it tries to connect for about 30 seconds then asks again [22:56] rubbs: getting unknown option let me look at man [22:56] Hi, I've got an application that uses /dev/random, but I'd like it to read from /dev/urandom instead. I can link /dev/random to /dev/urandom, but that changes for the whole system. Is there a way to redirect it for just that one app? [22:56] shepperd, Swap is "extra" memory. Years ago it was useful but with any modern computer its pretty useless unless you are really low on ram [22:56] shepperd: The swap partition is a place to put memory when it's not being used, in case the system runs out. [22:57] shepperd: If you have tons of memory, you probably don't need one. [22:57] nuradin: what is paltalk? [22:57] shepperd: But if you have the space one the disk, why not? [22:57] Blue1: did you try using -- instead of just -? [22:57] rubbs it is a video/audi/text chat [22:57] pure_hate, bepraaa, thanks for your answers. :) [22:57] X14U2NVX, 64 bit? [22:57] swap can be important if you hibernate [22:57] shepperd: you probably don't absolutely need swap, but it's still useful. [22:57] yes [22:58] shepperd: np [22:58] shepperd if you need to hibernate youll need swap..... [22:58] bepraaa: Planck_: I splurged a bit on the Hard Disk, so I'll probably make a small swap space. [22:58] nuradin: and what are you trying to do with it exactly? [22:58] iflema: he almost certainly won't be hibernating on a server... [22:58] Thanks all. :D [22:58] jacksteam: are the game names greyed out, or white, in your library? and is /host still mounted properly? [22:58] bepraaa: goodone [22:58] shepperd: Good idea. [22:58] X14U2NVX do you have network manager installed [22:59] rubbs: yeah but looking at man doesn't hurt [22:59] rubbs i want to play music in the rooms without taking the mic, [22:59] I do not believe so [22:59] zaery, they were just avaible when i right click the steam icon. now there are none, also on the libary they only have install option [22:59] No wait [22:59] here it is [22:59] yrd [22:59] yes [22:59] Blue1: true ;) [22:59] X14U2NVX, if your wep is 64-bit its not supported by ubuntu's gui anymore [22:59] nuradin: is paltalk configured to use pulseaudio? [23:00] zaery, /host is still mounted [23:00] rubbs i want to play music directly from my soundblaster without the mic [23:00] Oh no, I thought you meant 64-bit OS... I have a Hex WEP [23:00] X14U2NVX, 10 digit? [23:00] yes [23:00] rubbs pulseaudio causes error in my squeeze box [23:00] X14U2NVX, try this in terminal. remove the ` marks. http://d.pr/E9Gj [23:01] nuradin: I guess I'm not understanding. Are you trying to play music on a second soundcard? [23:01] jacksteam: and home/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/steamapps still correctly links to the right folder? [23:01] rubbs i have alsa [23:01] nuradin: If you have multiple soundcards, you can do this with your onboard pulseaudio server. [23:01] rubbs something like using the line in,but not exactly [23:01] !register [23:01] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [23:02] X14U2NVX, good luck i gotta run [23:02] zaery i assume so, its still showing the same folder as before [23:02] kk thanks [23:02] minimec audacity registers 2 sound cards [23:02] think I got it [23:02] it's --log-file -- [23:03] nuradin: I'd look into using pulse audio again, but you can use an alsa passthrough command (I can't find it right now) for your squeeze box. Pulse will make it fairly easy for two audio cards [23:03] Blue1: ah... that'd do it. [23:03] can I use wget to download files with addresses listed in a text file ? e.g., does wget has a flag to read from a file ? [23:03] rubbs maybe u can help me with getting rid of this error in pulseaudio [23:03] rubbs: yeah it needs log-file works great once you pay the sintax [23:04] rubbs: also called syntax [23:04] thieusoai: There's --input-file (or -i) [23:04] jacksteam, well, that's a truly interesting problem..... check your steamapps folder and see if the game's stuff is still there [23:05] rubbs pulseaudio says error connection refused and it dies [23:06] Blue1, Sorry if the syntax was wrong, that was off the top of my head :-) [23:06] nuradin: I'd help more, but I have to leave actually. [23:06] rubbs ok thanks anyways [23:06] Planck_, thanks [23:06] bye all [23:06] nuradin: try asking a PA question to the room and they may be able to help [23:06] pure_hate: hey no problem - I got what I needed. thanks for pointing me in the right direction! [23:06] <[bean]> anyone know any good gnome terminal color shemes that look good in transparency? cant see yellow and green too well [23:06] rubbs ok thanks again [23:07] zaery i have 2 steamapps folder. one with an arrow and one without [23:07] pure_hate: i got it to work, but the man is confusing, would it be a bother if i asked you if it is possible to limit the '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}' to find only one instance of each????? '{[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}2\}' didn't work [23:07] jacksteam, both in the same folder, or is one in /host and the other in /home? [23:07] just do a | sort -u > newfile.txt to remove any duplicates [23:08] MrUnagi, ^^ [23:08] zaery both in the wine C folder [23:08] as i installed steam with wine [23:08] k pure_hate [23:08] grep '^[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}$' file.txt | sort -u > newfile.txt [23:08] like that [23:08] or actually [23:08] pure_hate: couldn't you also use uniq? [23:08] grep '^[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}$' file.txt | uniq > newfile.txt [23:09] yeah lol [23:09] check inside both, both of them should have a "common" folder inside, and one should have games while the other should have none [23:09] <[bean]> want to pimp out my weechat but transparencies with current gnome terminal color scheme isnt working that good [23:09] hey, is anyone here maintaining the ubuntu.com wiki? [23:10] pure_hate: found a great programme the other day called bsdiff -- wonder if we can run that on politicians? [23:10] :P [23:10] Blue1, lol! [23:10] anybody in the mood to test cpu usage with a certain page, pm me (must use ubuntu), its flash [23:10] i've followed this tutorial, didn't get it finished without problems, looked for help and found that gitosis is no longer maintained and called outdated from git folks. so someone should update the article ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git [23:10] going to get exciting here tomorrow with obamarama here [23:12] when should i use /var/lib vs just /var [23:12] sint: what does gitosis do, anyway? [23:13] namnatulco: i have no idea [23:13] I've used git for like a year now... never heard of it:) [23:13] namnatulco: i just tried to follow the tutorial to get git installed in a "common" way [23:14] hiya, whats the best way to remote access ubuntu with another ubuntu [23:14] namnatulco: use gitolite better than gitosis [23:14] just starting with git and i thought it is common as it is stated in the tut [23:14] Can anyone recommend a console application to manage which applications/shells start up at boot? [23:14] markturnip: rcconf [23:14] namnatulco: how to you run git? just with the git core package? [23:15] whats the best/efficent GameBoy/GameBoy Advance emulator? [23:15] for ubutnu 10.04 [23:15] Blue1:Thanks! [23:15] ubuntu 10.10 [23:15] yeah, but I also use an external server, ie github [23:15] <[bean]> swiggy vba ? [23:15] namnatulco: sint gitosis is a way to control comits and other actions on a central repo [23:15] i did sudo-aptget [23:15] but i cant seem to run it [23:15] after i install? [23:15] cant find it [23:15] swiggy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:15] so i uninstalled [23:16] How do you get the amount of cpu usage of user and system? (something scriptable) [23:17] smw, system monitor? [23:17] system->admininstration->system monitor [23:17] swiggy, a command line [23:17] uptime [23:17] itaylor57: but it seems to be out of date and no longer maintained [23:17] Whats the best way to remote access ubuntu with another ubuntu? [23:17] namnatulco, does not give user vs system [23:17] sint: but gitolite is better and maintained [23:17] I know there's an app in ubuntu that shows disk usage as a sort of colored pie chart type thing, what is it? [23:17] oh, right. [23:17] itaylor57: seems that way [23:18] sint: Ive chatted with the author on the git channel [23:18] Monsquaz, please do not PM people your question. [23:19] itaylor57: ok? and? [23:19] itaylor57: what does he say? [23:19] zaery, http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/2008/10/disk-space-analyzers/ [23:19] Monsquaz, that will get you kicked. [23:20] I used remote desktop viewer but there is major lag [23:20] guest101: i also noticed that [23:20] I'm currently trying to connect to my windows desktop from my linux netbook. I opened the run prompt in ubuntu and typed in "smb://192.168.2.101" to connect to my desktop. Now it's asking my for a username and password, which i assume means it's asking me for the login info i'm using. however, the menu keeps disappearing and reappearing, which I suppose means I'm doing something wrong, but... [23:20] ...i'm not sure what. Anyone know what the deal is? [23:21] but i were trying from virtual machine to real pc [23:21] *username, domain, and password [23:21] fast internet btw [23:22] brontoeee, thanks, i was lookin' for baobab :) [23:22] where should i put my git repos… /var/lib/git ? [23:22] hi, I'm using ubuntu-netbook and unity collects my recently used files, but not recently used applications. Where should I look to find out why? All zeitgeist related packages seem to be installed. [23:22] namnatulco, iostat does it. I had decided to put it off until later but then I ran into the data I wanted when I started on something else. [23:22] smw: I was going to suggest top but I couldn't find whether it could actually be run non-interactive [23:23] hi5: I am running Ubuntu off a usb on a windows configured computer [23:23] try vncviewer [23:23] namnatulco, yeah, I knew top showed it. I am making a script to pull system statistics. iostat was next on my list. [23:24] <[bean]> i know ive said this before but i didnt get any response and its been a while ppl have entered since. anyone know any good gnome terminal color shemes that look good in transparency? cant see yellow and green too well [23:24] How do I do it through ssh [23:24] does anyone know what login info i'm supposed to use? [23:24] [bean]: I use black background and yellow text here with some transparancy [23:25] any luck zaery? [23:25] pure_hate: cat /var/log/auth.log | grep "password for root" > ~/roothack.txt && cat roothack.txt | grep -o '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}' | sort -u > banlist.txt && for line in $(cat banlist.txt); do iptables -I INPUT -s "$line" -j DROP; done [23:26] jacksteam, check inside both, both of them should have a "common" folder inside, and one should have games while the other should have none [23:26] ProtiK: Just watched a good tutorial on youtube about i second one down if you typre remote ubuntu [23:26] MrUnagi, Awesome, glad you got it workig [23:26] pure_hate: do you like it? [23:26] guest101: Remote desktop Ubuntu to windows or Windows to Ubuntu ? [23:27] MrUnagi, yeah === quiesense is now known as quiescens [23:27] protik even from ubuntu to ubuntu with vncviewer was a pain slow [23:27] can i disabled the message given by a system shutdown command? (basically i don't want warning ruining all my remaining terminals [23:28] ubuntu to windows [23:28] [bean]: Aren't there some fancy themes for weechat? I use a custom theme with my irssi. I use a backgound image in the Terminal and the 'Purisa Medium' font http://imagebin.org/132254 [23:28] guest101: what's your question? [23:29] uhoh. it looks like my netbook froze while doing the partitioning step of the ubuntu install [23:29] MrUnagi, you could shorten it a little by not using cat [23:29] canon: I want to know how to remote access my ubuntu with another ubuntu, without major lag preferably no lag. [23:29] grep "password for root" /var/log/auth.log > ~/roothack.txt && grep -o '[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}' oothack.txt | uniq > banlist.txt && for line in $(cat banlist.txt); do iptables -I INPUT -s "$line" -j DROP; done [23:29] what do I do? [23:29] minimec, thats like totally cool, even my silly question looks smart in this font [23:30] pure_hate: using instead? [23:30] canon: I tried remote desktop viewer, there was a lot of lag [23:30] zaery, one has common one doesn;t [23:30] TLDR: I need a username and password to connect to my desktop from my netbook. The username/pass combo is neither the one I log into my desktop with, nor is it what I log into my netbook with. What is it? [23:30] guest101: give a try to teamviewer [23:31] hi, I'm using ubuntu-netbook and unity collects my recently used files, but not recently used applications. Where should I look to find out why? All zeitgeist related packages seem to be installed. [23:31] can you help me with a problem I have with ubuntu 10.04? [23:31] brontoeee: I tested lots of fonts. That one is my ultimate choice... [23:31] !ask | Alexarm [23:31] Alexarm: 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. :-) [23:31] <[bean]> minimec: not sure. just using terminal colors at the moment. ill check [23:32] Can someone help me.. I enabled "Extra" in visual effects and now I can't startup. I was able to get to a command prompt, is there a command to reset effects to normal? [23:32] I know about dpkg --get-selections ... is there a way I can get that information from a mounted harddrive from another system? [23:33] minimec, a free font? the Purisa Medium ? [23:33] ok I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my NB200 (Toshiba netbook) the installation seemed to go fine but when I reboot I get a black screen with an underscore on the top left corner but it doesen't go any further... [23:33] earwigs: well, gparted can find it too, but the installer still doesn't show it =/ [23:33] jacksteam, does the one with common have the arrow? [23:34] jacksteam, if so, delete the one without common [23:34] brontoeee: You should have that one too. It's on any standard install I think... [23:34] Alexarm: tryed booting in recovery mode? [23:35] hi5: Is it synaptic, or where can I find team viewer [23:35] try apt-get [23:35] minimec, true, got it [23:35] isn't the partitioning phase of the ubuntu install supposed to show me a progress bar? [23:35] yes it is [23:35] i cant go any further it doesent show anything else and no keys seem to work.. [23:36] then I think I can safely conclude it froze *before* starting operations on my disk? [23:36] hi5: thanks for the help [23:36] from grub menu you need to pick the recovery mode and boot that [23:36] hope it helped guest101 [23:37] namnatulco: difficult to determine [23:37] well, a reboot ought to do the trick:) [23:37] yeah [23:38] okay... Can somebody help me with wifi? [23:38] I have a new ltsp setup on lucid! but the client logins are not reliable... the correct name and password sometimes get refused by the server... is there anything that can be done about this? [23:38] zaery, did as you said. restarted steam no change? [23:38] X14U2NVX: ask [23:39] neil_d, when do the correct pw/uname get refused ? [23:39] My analogue audio output isn't working. I'm using Ubuntu server. Where do I begin trying to debug this?  [23:39] jacksteam, is there still only one steamapps folder? [23:39] ok... I have a wireless card problem, It tries to connect to a wireless network [23:39] it lookes like its working but then stops soon after [23:39] Is there a way to make nautilus always run script files when you double click on them instead of having to select run after doing so? [23:39] about 30 seconds [23:39] lapion: at logon! === mnepton is now known as mneptok [23:39] how do i respond to someone ? [23:39] zaery no, there is 2 again [23:39] hi5: looks like it died somewhere halfway, but thanks anyway [23:40] nevermind [23:40] Alexarm, [23:40] In single boot systems (when not dual booting with another OS) the boot menu doesn't show up to speed up booting because there is no other OS to select. [23:40] In this case, for 10.04 and Grub2 press (or start hitting Shift) after the BIOS POST finishes, at the start of booting. That will make a grub menu show. [23:40] jacksteam: well, that's odd, what happens when you do the set of three commands again? [23:40] zaery we are talking about wines C:\ drive aren't we? [23:40] I need to cut out some clips from a long .avi movie. Can anybody reccoment a program to do so? [23:40] jacksteam, yup [23:41] X14U2NVX: maybe alsaconfig, or ubuntu system configuration tool [23:41] zaery, can you link the pastebin for the 3 commands again please [23:41] neil_d, I had the same problem but only whenever te screensave locked the screen,.. [23:41] hi5: ok i'll try those [23:41] zaery nevermind, i found it [23:41] ok, even try switching to Oss instead of alsa, could work [23:41] neil_d, the problem was solved by changing the rights of /etc/passwd [23:42] : ok let me try it [23:42] MagusOTB, maybe avidemux [23:42] hi5: i'm kind of a newb. Could you explain how to switch to oss? [23:42] lapion: what did you cahange it to [23:42] zaery, output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/553011/ [23:42] hi, I'm using ubuntu-netbook and unity collects my recently used files, but not recently used applications. Where should I look to find out why? All zeitgeist related packages seem to be installed. [23:42] hello, i'm looking for a command-line software to make a video with a serie of pictures [23:43] i try...from ubuntu sound configuration - is there somewhere - you can select either alsa or oss for your card [23:43] anyone here that can help [23:43] jacksteam, paste me the output of "ls" [23:43] ok so i choose linux 2.6.32-27-generic recovery mode or 2.6.32-24-generic recovery mode? [23:43] zaery, its back. i can choose them [23:43] Serialk: You could maybe use imagick convert to make them into a gif and then ffmpeg (or mencoder) with a really slow framerate to make them a movie. [23:44] zaery, this is certainty a strange thing [23:44] neil_d, should be 644 [23:44] hi5: ummm sound configuration? for wifi? and where is that? [23:44] im running ubuntu server , why cant outside users connect to my IRCD [23:44] use virtual dub for vids: http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/ [23:45] -rw-r----- 1 root shadow 1328 2010-12-29 14:24 /etc/shadow [23:45] somewhere in preferences menu, maybe [23:45] jacksteam, it looks like steam decided to ignore the symlink and make another steamapps folder, and apparently, recreating the symlink fixed it, that was quite odd [23:45] search for it [23:45] Thunderirc: firewall? [23:45] Thunderirc: behind NAT? may need port forwarding [23:45] hi5: for future reference, if the resizing of a partition is canceled, chkdsk (the one included with windows 7) seems to be able to repair the FS [23:45] Alexarm, just chose the one at the very top. [23:45] lapion: it is 644 or '-rw-r--r--' [23:45] Alexarm, you don't need recovery mode. your comuter is fine. [23:45] neil_d, both ar the same [23:45] yes its running throughe router and the only ip i have is 192.168.120.xxx [23:45] hi5: I found it... But nothing about wireless internet in here [23:45] ok namnatulco..could help in that case [23:45] WANTED: people who develop web applications on ubuntu platforms [23:46] Hello, Can somebody please advise me on whether I should install drivers from nvidia website on ubuntu 10.10 or use the drivers provided by the Additional Drivers on startup? [23:46] i know..wifi is somewhere else [23:46] ah, so i just have to do this every time to boot?? [23:46] so the connection never worked? [23:46] dAND3h: from the website if you're going to play games [23:46] dAND3h: otherwise just use the Nvidia x.org drivers [23:46] lapion: yeh... this is a real pain... sometimes it 10 or more goes to get a client to logon... the users done like that [23:46] Alexarm, no. i think your problem is now solved. [23:46] dAND3h: Use the drivers provided by the ubutnu distribution. [23:46] hi5: no if i try to connect to ANY network... it just kind of stalls and quits [23:46] dAND3h, better to use the drivers supplied by one of the official distro package managers [23:47] Alexarm, try rebooting it and see if it just boots normally now. (without you holding down shift) [23:47] dont know how to help you for that - sry [23:47] :) ty i'm a complete noob [23:47] Anyone good with python? [23:47] lapion: so will I be able to play games with those drivers? [23:47] Im trying to create a string that has lots of variables to it with out having to define each variable like in C you could do something like: [23:47] float c[50] [23:47] hi5: ok thanks [23:47] Alexarm, i'm no expert myself.... :) [23:47] Can anyone help me with a wireless driver problem? [23:47] hi. im currently using ubuntu off the cd. all my files are here but my original installation has no desktop. can not boot to desktop only to commandline. is there a way to repair installation from the cd [23:47] X14U2NVX, you owe hi5 a beer now.

[23:49] no splash screen at all. only enter login and password. files appear to be there === richard is now known as Guest79580 [23:49] hi [23:49] how does ubuntu handle the automounting of cdroms? [23:49] Ok, I have a 1GB nvidia GT230M gfx card in my laptop, will using the official distro driver allow my graphics to be used at the full potential? [23:49] gnome * [23:50] X14U2NVX: I only know about a few ralink cards I have myself... but if you happen to be french, maybe this is helpful: http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=433425 === kazen is now known as Kazen [23:50] dAND3h, i would say yes. [23:50] dAND3h, i think the video drivers from nvidia for linux are about as good as those for windows [23:50] does anyone have an idea? [23:50] namnatulco: I don't speak french :( [23:50] hey redv does ubuntu server have a built in firewall [23:50] ? [23:51] Amnesia, what do you mean? [23:51] i typed the first command of http://lifehacker.com/350015/enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-in-two-commands it then said i require a reboot in the top right which i did [23:51] thieven`: I'm running debian atm [23:51] sam-_-: Are the drivers from nvidia the same as the default distro drivers from ubuntu? [23:51] X14U2NVX: well, could you look at the output of dmesg | tail -n10 ? [23:51] and want to set up automounting when a cdrom has been inserted [23:51] Thunderirc: ufw [23:51] with out the need of triggering mount -a [23:52] it doesen't boot completely by itself i have to press shift again but at least it boots :P [23:52] '??? [23:52] so the command sudo apt-get install totem-xine libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread4 <--- screwed up my desktop. any help appreciated [23:52] thieven`: it doesnt use autofs right? [23:52] in ubuntu then* [23:52] X14U2NVX: I used that info to try and fix my own problems today, which was quite helpful, so it may help you too [23:52] dAND3h, no you have to install them via additional drivers. [23:52] hey all do you think it would be possible to burn a netbook image to a microsd card and run it to a pc via my phone? [23:52] Alexarm, hmm, it is a wierd one. i don't have a good answer for you. but this site was useful: ( and i'll look more) http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484694 [23:52] namnatulco: okay i'll take a look thanks [23:52] sudo ufw disable?? [23:52] dAND3h, there is a tool in ubuntu which will do it automatically [23:53] sam-_-: yes, so if I install drivers using that tool, is that bascially the same drivers as if i got them from the Nvidia website for linux? [23:53] Amnesia, i do not think autofs comes with it. [23:54] Thunderirc, the firewall is not enabled unless you enable it yourself. [23:54] dAND3h, yes. apart from different versions, maybe [23:54] thieven`: so how does gnome do it? [23:54] sam-_-: Ok thanks you very much, have a nice life [23:54] it says it was [23:55] is it possible i messed up my system's dependencies and have lost my desktop [23:56] Amnesia, that part i do not know. i'm not smart enough for that one. haha.
