[00:00] thankee all [00:00] Guest53932: yes, #defocus [00:00] you rock acicula, thanks. [00:00] Guest53932: sure, /list shows, #ubuntu-offtopic ,#defocus.. [00:00] thx [00:00] how to limit the amount of bandwidth given to a particular ip address [00:00] shcherbak: actually its opposite, I like my naming in all caps, and i did the password in caps, it works in the software center but it says its wrong in terminal [00:00] Guest53932: otherwise check netsplit.de [00:00] I'm going to try now :) [00:00] That what you needed to see Gnea? [00:00] thanks!! [00:00] Gnea i was able to mount it in mac os x, but when i try to ls /Volumes/backup/ it says permission denied [00:00] CaptainJon: in what command? [00:01] Steve973: it's possible that one or more of the flags you have set are restricting too much === Guest53932 is now known as bubu [00:01] see you [00:01] Gnea any recommendation on flags? [00:01] kun: good luck [00:01] Steve973: that is, the flags in () after the ip [00:01] shcherbak: su sudo they say its wrong [00:01] There a channel I can go to, to get help for a not so important matter ? [00:01] Steve973: not offhand, I'd pull up a manpage and see which each one does [00:01] I see all urgent requests being answered but not mine :P [00:02] after you ls, how do you open one of the directories? [00:02] Drainix: tc [00:02] Drainix: haven't read, which ? [00:02] cd name [00:02] My question was how do I limit the amount of bandwidth I give to a particular ip address [00:02] Or a particular port either will work [00:03] Gnea, did that tell you anything? pastebin.com/ziNpK9xu [00:03] Drainix: you can do that with tc afaik [00:03] whats tc lol [00:03] man tc [00:03] hi [00:03] plz help [00:03] to create this server [00:03] Drainix:http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/tc.8.html [00:03] lol [00:04] lucenut: still reading it [00:04] Drainix: Traffic Control [00:04] i using ubuntu 10.10 [00:04] CaptainJon: sudo tail /var/log/auth.log does it work? [00:05] shcherbak: yes sir it does [00:05] how do i install beardware without upsetting ubuntu? [00:05] CaptainJon: so you did command wrong, password is ok. [00:06] . [00:06] how do i uninstall beardware without upsetting ubuntu? [00:06] shcherbak: i thought it was pretty straight forward, type su it asks for password [00:06] I installed 10.10 alongside Windows 7. If I boot to the cd again and do an install will it reinstall over this ubuntu? [00:07] CaptainJon: sudo take command or swith so: sudo -s (do not do it) or sodo . DO NOT USE su, please. [00:07] how do you disable DPMS? [00:07] lucenut: yes [00:07] lucenut, it depends on partition selection, but boot loader will most likely be overwritten [00:07] lucenut, it can if you want it to. [00:07] shcherbak: why not just using su makes life easier? [00:08] Drainix: don't pm; usually you shape on a device, not on an ip [00:08] CaptainJon, try typing sudo -i [00:08] I may have to try a reinstall. But it's happened twice the same! After the updates. [00:08] CaptainJon: su is not sudo, make anoter user and su , but it is not good way. For root use sudo. [00:08] CaptainJon, that is what you are looking for. === Srebrenica_Junfa is now known as ^^^^^^^^^^ [00:08] lucenut, reinstall what? [00:09] The first time I thought the thing was hosed. I didn't know it was just the keyboard/mouse. [00:09] Drainix: it's like a router with nics, you can set borders on [00:09] shcherbak: thieven` thanks [00:09] Reinstall ubuntu. === ^^^^^^^^^^ is now known as ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_ [00:09] .. :/ [00:09] Or is there a "repair"? [00:09] don't understand [00:09] lucenut, if i was in your situation. i would reinstall. [00:09] I just want to tell this game not to take more than say 20 kbps up [00:09] But it's going to happen again when it does the first round of updates. [00:10] Well, it did twice in a row. [00:10] lucenut: there's something that you can do to tell if it's even accepting anything from the keyboard [00:10] CaptainJon: life easier can make you suffer, do not use root shell, unless you are very clear with task (and yourself) [00:10] lucenut, oh. that's not good. [00:10] My guess is it'll happen again the same. [00:10] lucenut: but you'll need to install procinfo first [00:10] lucenut: unplug it from the net and it won't do the updates [00:10] i'm trying to figure out why the NTFS hard drive (label = New Volume) isn't showing up on df -h .. http://dpaste.com/311297/ .. i see it when i do sudo blkid -g && sudo blkid [00:10] But there must be a way to recover use of keyboard/mouse? Driver issues? [00:10] lucenut: install procinfo [00:11] using su is much more secure then giving everyone root access via sudo [00:11] CaptainJon, yeah, what shcherbak said is a good point. i have hardly ever needed to have root shell. [00:11] Lint01: [00:11] shcherbak: okay so just use sudo under my user? [00:11] Lint01: *wrong* [00:11] m1ke: is it mounted?

If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:11] Gnea, just do that in the software center? [00:11] Lint01: you can easily restrict who goes in /etc/sudoers [00:11] i guess it isnt mounted [00:11] lucenut: or the commandline [00:11] CaptainJon: safest and resonably easy way. [00:11] m1ke: indeed its not mounted, so df does not report it [00:12] shcherbak: okay thanks [00:12] Drainix: that's another way then per ip, that's per app, let me check if trickle is still on the repos [00:12] waht is the difference between gksudo and gksu? i would think no difference?

[00:13] Gnea now thats helpfull thanks ^_^ [00:14] How are you able to be in sudo perpetually? [00:14] cmd? [00:14] meway: I think he's referring to udisks, which is an X application [00:14] Bholzi: sudo echo 1 && sudo echo 2 [00:14] Gnea: I have no idea [00:14] meway, udisks --mount [00:14] just installed ubuntu 10.10. sooooo excited! [00:14] meway: You can mount applications the same way as in the desktop version [00:15] meway: wouldn't worry about it, he doesn't seem to know much about what he's talking about [00:15] MrDudle o.o [00:15] Bholzi: once issued, sudo won't ask again for pass for ~15 in, else can also login as root, though not recommened [00:15] meway: soory, hard drives not apps [00:15] Lint01: do you know what ubuntu server is? [00:15] 10.10 is so sick! [00:15] Bholzi, try typing sudo -i [00:15] anyone stream movies to there ps3?

[00:17] rusty149: ok so what do I do? [00:17] sorry, that was meant for shcherbak [00:17] rusty149: to make it autoconnect by defualt [00:17] meway: if the drive will be connected all the time, then I suggest adding it to fstab. [00:18] thieven: ha! ive never used friggen linux let alone the command, [00:18] how can I install old aRts package in ubuntu, I need it for compiling software [00:18] Bholzi, no problem. they made ubuntu so you don't have to use the command line if yyou do not want to. [00:18] meway: if you do want automount for different usb drives then use, usbmount [00:18] hi [00:19] thieven`: Keep in mind that often you speak to less expirienced that you, so root shell IS recipie for disarter.

[01:55] /join #ubuntu-fr [01:55] Dmole: oh, yeah [01:55] Dmole: sorry [01:55] wrd: not service gdm start? [01:55] aeon-ltd, only problem is the windows install is incredibly bloated and i suspect infected, almost impossible to do anything on it [01:55] hihihi :) [01:55] Sean93: use anotherr pc as a hard drive host, install then move back [01:56] aeon-ltd, great idea [01:56] Sean93: but........? [01:57] Hello! [01:57] so, I just fixed my problem by setting a+rwx on /var/spool/cron, /var/spool/cron/crontabs, and /var/spool/cron/atjobs. That doesn't seem like the right solution though, what should the permissions on those directories be? [01:57] doki_pen: seems to not be opening the port on boxA. the man file said something about GatewayPorts but there is no such flag in the cfg... [01:57] Lint01: so X is to blame for mutter using 100% CPU even when idle? [01:58] Bops, hardware, since mutter is uses opengl rendering [01:59] if it's not accelerated due to missing driver or firmware, it will fallback to software [01:59] I have a Kubuntu install and, for convenience I installed GNOME as a secondary Window Manager. But now the GNOME USB Drive autodetection made my KDE USB Drive detection goes havoc. I want to deactivate GNOME USB autodetection and googled for it, but I didn't find the gnome-volume-manager suggested on Google. Any other way? [02:00] Lint01: that really should be mentioned on the main site. "Try at your own risk". I wasted 2 hours installing an unusable OS. Sigh, back to regular Ubuntu. Or is regular Ubuntu like that nowadays to? (I'd been using 9.04 until now) [02:00] Bops, you should be able to choose plain gnome at login [02:00] Dmole: you don't need gateway port for that [02:01] Dmole: to troubleshoot, use netcat [02:01] Lint01: lemme try. gonna take a while. [02:02] aeon-ltd, no, i'm going to use it :P [02:03] Sean93: sorry the lack of 'tone' on the internet made me assume it was sarcastic, i apologise again [02:03] doki_pen: I was using netstat and nmap to check if the port opened.... it did not, how would I use netcat in addition to that? [02:03] aeon-ltd, no problem :D [02:04] what up [02:04] Sean93: btw hardware autodetect will be off, so you may need a lot of drivers/modules to be installed when you move back, in the worst case X may fail on boot - but you should have ubuntu === nathan is now known as Guest82879 === Guest82879 is now known as Narcoleptic_Devi [02:06] doki_pen: adding that flag to the cfg seems to have fixed it~ thanks [02:07] Hi everyone [02:08] I need assistance on ubuntu installation [02:08] hi Joseph [02:09] I want to install ubuntu on a different partition which i have allocated under windows storage management [02:09] the system is completely unresponsive. mutter is using all CPU. I've been waiting 5 minutes to try to open a terminal window to kill mutter with no luck. System is set to auto-login so I can't work around this by rebooting. What can I do? I want to log out and try to pick a non-Netbook Remix session. But the system is unresponsive and I can't log out. [02:09] hi why ubuntu mouse cursor change from small to big in some applications [02:10] sorry anyone there? [02:11] Bops: type 3 at the grub menu [02:11] Joseph_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [02:11] SeaPhor: what will that do? [02:11] hi all OT question but trying to log in to use a registered nick on another channell and i don't know how to do it? no login command??? [02:11] that will boot to init (runlevel) 3 [02:11] that will boot to init (runlevel) 3 bops [02:11] hi all [02:12] and will that let me select a gnome session to launch? [02:12] jrib: i want to install ubuntu on a designated partition which i have allocated under windows management. Now i am inside Ubuntu live session and i dunno how can i do to install it without affecting the windows [02:12] my expectation is to dual boot both windows and ubuntu [02:12] I just installed Ubnuntu 10.10 fresh after a HD format....after installing, it asked me to do an update, so I clicked OK then rebooted after it was done. Now the system hangs when booting on "Setting sensor limits"...huh? [02:12] Joseph_: reboot into Windows, then run setup.exe from the Ubuntu cdrom [02:12] Joseph_: during install it shows you your partition setup and you choose the partition you want [02:12] and install it using Wubi [02:12] Bops: that will put u in a cli-only, no x environment to fix the issue if needed then you can startx [02:13] just install by choosing the partition i want? [02:13] Joseph_: of course [02:13] it will not affect the windows? [02:13] SeaPhor: the problem can only be fixed by running a classic gnome session instead of this terrible Unity stuff. [02:13] Joseph_: as long as you don't choose the windows partition, no it won't [02:13] jrib: Ok, thanks.... Do i need to do something else besides that? [02:14] jrib: Because i wish to dual boot both operating systems [02:14] Joseph_: I recommend you delete the partition created and then have ubuntu just setup the free space (because you need a swap partition too) [02:14] Joseph_: na, its pretty easy ;) [02:14] SeaPhor: Ok, I shall try it [02:14] I know bitching doesn't help anyone but dear god, how could Canonical actually release Ubuntu Network Remix on unsuspecting users knowing it requires 3d acceleration? [02:14] Joseph_: I agree with jrib [02:14] Joseph_: yes, what jrib said [02:14] running 10.10 and gnome will not start. seems that gdm is working, [02:15] there are no options for failsafe gnome and esc does does bring me into grub menu to choose other modes [02:15] anyone have any idea on my boot freeze/hang issue with "setting sensor limits"? (this is a desktop system, so I don't know why it is doing that anyways) [02:15] so I have been prompted with three options; install alongside with other operating system, erase and use entire harddisk (unlikely), and specify partition manually [02:16] so i should choose the third one? [02:16] using Empathy for chat in Ubuntu 10.10, I found there are occasions it doesn't load (or hangs upon loading) some chat logs. The folks @ #empathy don't know what causes it, so I'd like to use an XML parser/viewer to view the logs (until this is fixed). What software can I use for this task? [02:17] Joseph_: do you want to preserve the exisitinf os? [02:17] slestak: yes, I would like to have a dual boot [02:17] install alongside is a good choice then [02:17] slestak: but i want to install it on different partition [02:17] ok I'm at the prompt after pressing CTRL+ALT+F5. How can I kill/logout the running gnome session that auto-logged in, then get to a gnome login screen (where normally one would enter a password and select a session type)? [02:18] yuler: firefox will view xml files [02:18] as well as gedit [02:18] I have a bunch of files with the extention .example how do I remove the .example extention but not the files. (all files are in 1 folder) [02:18] Joseph_: boot into Windows and delete the partition you created, then restart the installation [02:18] then you do need manual partitioning then [02:18] bops init 3 [02:18] Joseph_: Ubuntu will create a partition from the free space [02:18] Bops: init 3 [02:19] yeats: I have allocated one, but it is ntfs format [02:19] meway: i always test my glob with ls first [02:19] do ls *.example [02:19] yeats: can i reformat it in ubuntu installation wizard? [02:19] Joseph_: right - you'll need to delete that [02:19] see i you liek the results, if you do then do rm *.example [02:19] SeaPhor: ran init 3. And to launch the session? [02:19] slestak: what?....... [02:19] Joseph_: that one needs to be deleted, no need to "pre-allocate" a part ;) [02:20] Joseph_: if you're sure you can tell which one it is, you can run gparted from the System -> Administration menu in the live cd [02:20] you want to remove teh files that end in .example? [02:20] slestak: i just want to remove the .example extention [02:20] Joseph_: and delete the partition from there [02:20] slestak not the file just the extention [02:20] if you dont want to do it manually in nautilus, you will need to script it. pretty easy bash script, but i would use python [02:20] yeats: ok, let me try [02:21] slestak: I'm pretty sure pearl works in the command line [02:21] yes it does [02:21] isn't there a rename command that i can do [02:21] slestak: Firefox open file > XML asks for a helper app instead of loading it within. :( [02:21] anyone can help to install jdownloader in ubuntu maverik please? [02:22] Joseph_ check private messages [02:22] yeats: I have deleted the partition from ubuntu gpart [02:22] it only operates on one at a time, [02:22] yeats: then what should i do now? [02:22] yuler: hmm, shouldnt have [02:22] Joseph_: start the installer again [02:22] slestak: no I'm pretty sure there is another way [02:22] what is default dc++ client in ubuntu 10/10? [02:22] Hey, anyone know how i can access my win7 shares, when i try and use samba it prompts for username/password, but the shares are passwordless [02:22] meway: use an mp3 renamer, soem of the good ones are pretty flexible [02:22] yeats: after that choose to specify partition manually? [02:23] SeaPhor: from the command-line, how can I get to the Gnome login screen? (knowing I configured Ubuntu to auto-login, and that I DON'T WANT THAT so that I can select a different type of session) [02:23] meway, just type: mv file.example file.txt .. or anything [02:23] Sengoku, you need enable ntlm2 authorisation in smb.conf [02:23] Joseph_: you should be able to use the largest free space option [02:23] should be like rm ../example something idk [02:23] Does anyone have a problem where Nautilus wont show HDD Size , Type, last modified etc? [02:23] yeats: yea there is a free space now [02:23] yeats: just click on it and install? [02:24] meway: your eaxample would remove the file name example in one directory up the tree [02:24] Joseph_: at the partitioning step, there should be a "use the largest continuous free space" option [02:25] And also, wont allow changing of File System Label? [02:25] slestak: maybe ../ ".example" [02:25] Lint01: just add "client ntlmv2 auth" [02:25] ? [02:26] Sengoku, "client ntlmv2 auth = true" [02:26] yeats: when i click install now on the free space, it prompts me that no root file system is definied [02:26] *defined [02:26] without a loop (perl or bash or python, or sth else) i dont think you will be able to do it. [02:26] Lint01: thanks! [02:26] Sengoku, also Nautilus uses ./.smb/smbconf instead of /etc/samba one [02:26] ok, plan B. What command can I use to kill a process, WITHOUT having to use 2+ commands where the 2nd one uses the output of the first. My monitor is badly positioned (and can't be fixed in monitor options), I can't read the PID of mutter in order to kill it. [02:27] Does anyone know how to fix Nautilus so that it shows HDD Space, Date Modified, Type etc And also allows me to change File System Label?? [02:27] Joseph_: okay... are you in the manual partitioning step? [02:27] meway: here is one google hit http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576597-directory-walking-file-renamer/ [02:27] yeats: yea [02:27] Lint01: oh damn, thanks [02:27] yeats: what should i do now? [02:27] Joseph_: can you go back to the screen before? [02:27] Lint01: what's ./.smb? [02:27] Joseph_: no need to partition manually [02:28] slestak: I will let you know when I remember XD I know there is a way >_< [02:28] Lint01: is that a hidden file in the current directory? [02:28] Sengoku, ~/.smb/smb.conf I believe [02:28] ohh [02:28] cool thanks [02:28] yeats: the screen before is the three options === diemos|wrk is now known as diemos [02:28] Joseph_: is one of those options to use the largest free space? [02:28] are there any programs that alert you when someone scans your ports or traceroutes you or tries to connect to your IP or anything? [02:29] so, I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 desktop, and now my computer freezes anytime I try to do something [02:29] yeats: no, there is no such option [02:30] Joseph_: okay... hmm. Is the free space you created showing up? [02:30] yeats: only three options; install alongside with other operating system, erase and use entire harddisk, manually specify a partition [02:30] meway, rename 's/\.example$//' *.example [02:30] yeats: the free space i deleted is there [02:30] Lint01: such folder doesn't exist.. [02:30] Joseph_: okay - try install alongside [02:30] yeats: but it shows that i don't have what root file [02:30] so couldn't proceed [02:30] Sengoku, one moment [02:30] Lint01: when i "localte smb.conf" it's only in /etc/samba/ and some other weird places [02:30] yeats: but that will install my ubuntu to where? [02:31] dodgy_script: yes thats it [02:31] slestak: rename 's/\.example$//' *.example [02:31] Joseph_: it *should* install it to the free space [02:32] Sengoku, you may need to create it; also having it also in /etc/samba works for every other program, so need to be added too [02:32] Joseph_: if you want to be sure, select manual partitioning [02:33] Lint01: done, how do i "apply" it. does nautilus poll that file everytime? [02:33] hello, maybe somebody can help me [02:33] what's the default filesystem for hd install when using the current installer [02:33] 10.10 [02:33] jetscreamer: ext4 [02:33] thx [02:33] I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and have problems with control panel and Radeon 5770 HD [02:33] Sengoku, yes [02:34] !natty | ovg [02:34] ovg: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems.

[02:55] I have EXTREMELY low microphone volume in Ubuntu 10.10 on skype, however if I go into audacity and record myself it's clear as day with ample volume. Any ideas? [02:56] Had some high schoolers power my ubuntu machine off while I was doing a file copy. Now I can't boot--i get the recovery console instead. i need to run an fsck, right? i booted the livecd and tried (sudo fsck /dev/sda1) and got "fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1 [02:56] Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?" [02:56] Roasted: the volume in skype? :P [02:56] any idea why? [02:56] so I just have to install the PAE kernel, is there any cont when using the PAE kernel? [02:56] edbian, I don't see any "skype" volume though [02:56] howdy all. I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 yesterday. Since then the games at pogo.com play the opening sounds, but then no more sounds throughout game play until you go to another game. It is java and flash driven. I have tried java 1.0.20 22 23 with the same results. I also upgraded seamonkey to latest, as well as firefox with the same results. Other sites with java and sound work fine, and our laptop with 10.10 and seamonkey wor [02:56] ks fine on poog. Any suggestions? [02:56] Roasted: that was just my idea :) I don't know otherwise [02:56] Lint01: yeah, whenever i try any passwordsit keeps prompting for password [02:56] edbian, all I have is what server to choose, whcih my only option is pulseaudio server (local) [02:56] edbian, and that's it :( no sliders or anything [02:57] Sengoku, and win7 do not report failed logins? [02:57] hey theoretically question - i use rsync to sync 2 drives data1 and data2. its a cron job that runs every night. "if" data1 were to fail and the drive unmount, the directory where its mounted would appear to be empty and when the cron job ran that night, it would then erase drive2 wouldnt it? [02:58] Lint01: checking again [02:58] Talaskina, I've had rsync just create the directory and copy the contents of that drive to that directory. however i can't remember what flags i was using at the moment (fighting an issue myself right now) [02:58] jbotalan, i think you need to use a live cd to fsck that ... i think! [02:58] while I'm here, I got a question :) [02:59] nathan_: what is it? [02:59] n-iCe, are you there? [02:59] dodgy_script, i'm currently running the 10.10 livecd. i tried running that fsck, and it isn't working. [02:59] that error i mentioned is in those circumstances [02:59] When I try to run ubuntu software manager, it hangs, and update manager says that there is another version of synatpic running somewhere [02:59] Lint01: says logon successful [02:59] in win7 [02:59] and it isn't mounted. i can't figure this out... [02:59] nathan_: can I see the pastebin of ps -e ? [03:00] nathan_: It's probably just some zombie process that hasn't died yet [03:00] It offers to do a partial upgrade to fix the problem, but that doesn't work. [03:00] Is anyone running Ubuntu 64-bit with GCC? [03:00] I need someone to compile something for me. :( [03:00] sure, typeing "ps -e" in the terminal you mean? [03:00] nathan_: yes [03:00] Anyone? [03:00] Dr_Willis, still there? [03:00] edbian SeaPhor is there any cons when using pae kernel? [03:00] lastent: Not that I know of [03:00] Actually can _anyone_ compile something for me? [03:00] woh, that's a lot to copy, you sure to copy the whoel thing here? [03:01] Anybody with GCC? :( [03:01] jbotalan, hm i guess either way would be problematic, if drive1 fails it might erase drive2 if drive 2 fails it would quickly fill the base 300gb drive with the 1.2tb of data. [03:01] Sengoku, strange, I;m afraid it's beyond my competence to troubleshoot [03:01] Radon, what?

[03:05] nathan_: possibly sudo kill 1940 [03:05] Radon, yep [03:05] Liint01: So can you do it soon? It's sorta urgent and I need sleep. :P [03:05] nathan_: There is some apt- process that was left running. See it there? the command I gave stops it. Should let other instances of package managers work [03:06] Roasted: have you turned off allowing skype to adjust your mixer level? [03:06] one second, looking up something [03:06] nathan_: take your time [03:06] KM0201, yes. [03:06] Roasted: uncheck it, and let ubuntu control it, rather than skype [03:06] KM0201, I did. [03:06] KM0201, no results. [03:06] ah, I see, thanks [03:06] Roasted: oh wait, you said you did. [03:07] nathan_: that fixed it? [03:07] KM0201, :( === jnotsomad980 is now known as jmad980 [03:07] nope [03:07] "unable to get exclusive lock" [03:07] seems there is still another zombie process? [03:08] nathan_: what does ps -e | grep apt show? [03:08] Lint01: Did you manage anything yet? [03:08] nathan_: maybe, sometimes the lock file just doesn't get unlocked properly [03:08] nathan_: worst case we'll just delete the file. Did you say that restarting it doesn't fix? [03:08] Can anyone please compile some C++ for me? [03:08] that shows 2 other processes, aptd and update-apt-xapi [03:09] Radon, find someone else to compile exploits for you [03:09] nathan_: mmm, can you kill aptd? [03:09] Roasted: have u checked volume control preferences> there is one more mic db level control [03:09] nathan_: What's the number for it? [03:09] Lint01: It's for a project though. [03:09] singingBird, in ubuntu or skype? [03:09] 1924 [03:09] okay hey [03:09] evryone [03:09] nathan_: Kill that too [03:10] can someone give me some tips on troubleshooting broken gnome on 10.10 [03:10] anyone have an idea about qt and Qsqlite [03:10] Lint01: You don't understand, I have a class tomorrow. [03:10] in Ubuntu [03:10] some of my old tricks are not working anymore, i.e. runlevel 2, etc [03:10] I did that... but doing "ps -e | grep apt" again gives the same results [03:10] I am at recovery menu, [03:10] singingBird, I'm not seeing it. Can you direct me where its at? [03:10] nathan_: Did you say that restarting the machine didn't fix the problem? [03:11] right [03:11] nathan_: We can avoid wasting our time then. [03:11] n-iCe, I have a Broadcom corporation BCM4311 Wireless card and it says firmware not installed, somebody could help me? [03:11] nathan_: Where is the lock file? /var/???/apt.lock ?? [03:11] lock.0 [03:11] or something? [03:11] Chilaquiles: I can help if you wait a minute. [03:11] lock file? [03:11] nathan_: try to run sudo apt-get upgrade [03:11] Chilaquiles: you need to download and extract the firmware.. it's a lot easier if you have an internet connection for a few minutes [03:12] nathan_: It will list the lock file's location [03:12] KM0201, I don't have an internet conection on the machine where I have that problem [03:12] /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable [03:12] nathan_: that's it [03:13] Chilaquiles: did you read the directions on the link i gave you earlier? it tells you how to download and extract the broadcom firmware, w/o an internet connection [03:13] KM0201, but anyways where can I download the firmware? [03:13] nathan_: Now, to be clear, apt puts the lock file there whenever a package manager is open. From that point on no other package manager will work until the first one ends and removes the lock file [03:13] !broadcom | Chilaquiles [03:13] Chilaquiles: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [03:13] huh... interesting [03:13] KM0201, but that was for broadcom bcm43xx and I have the bcm44xx [03:13] ... that file isn't there in the file manager [03:13] nathan_: we can remove the lock file manually but if there is a package manager running and you start another package manager it will f things up [03:13] nvm, found it === jd is now known as jds- [03:14] nathan_: sudo rm /var/dpkg/lock [03:14] Chilaquiles: huh? [03:14] attempted to boot from ubuntu cd, got error messages, restarted [03:14] KM0201, doesn't matter? [03:14] nathan_: after that restart the machine you'll be safe [03:14] nathan_: get it? [03:14] got it [03:14] Chilaquiles: othe than bmc doesn't exist to my knowlege.. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 [03:14] nathan_: awesome :) [03:14] though it's /var/dpkg/lib/lock :) [03:15] Chilaquiles: all broadcoms are bcm.. not bmc [03:15] nathan_: o thanks :) [03:15] alrighty then, restarting, and thanks edbian [03:15] nathan_: come back and let me know that it works [03:15] Chilaquiles: did you manage to install the b43 driver? [03:15] KM0201, sorry you are right but what I mean is that I have bcm44xx [03:16] Chilaquiles: actually bcm4311 is a bcm43xx [03:16] Chilaquiles: so whats the problem?.. thast what that link details howt o fix? [03:16] i checked my md5sum against the one on the server, perfect match [03:16] that I have a newer one [03:16] Chilaquiles: you said just a minute ago, you have a broadcom 4311 where do you get thats 44xx? [03:16] are there any peculiarities to installing ubuntu on a windows 7 machine? [03:17] OK I reinstalled 10.10 alongside windows 7, but I don't want it to update. The last 2 times it did I lost keyboard & touchpad. [03:17] !windows [03:17] jds-: not that I know of [03:17] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [03:17] yes i am [03:17] Lucenut: then dont' update === nathan is now known as Guest34100 [03:17] How can I turn off updates? [03:17] KM0201, mhhh Im confused let me check again which one I have [03:17] Lucenut: it won't update without you letting it in the first place. [03:17] Chilaquiles: PM me when you get back [03:17] OK [03:17] is there have chinese [03:17] KM0201, which command tells me that? [03:18] !cn | wenlong [03:18] wenlong: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [03:18] well, the important things are fixed :) [03:18] Chilaquiles: answer your PM [03:18] can anyone tell my why my computer wont load Ubuntu? It said "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth [03:18] hmm... it listed me as guest instead of nathan_ [03:18] weird [03:18] Guest34100: hi [03:18] Guest34100: did it work [03:18] ? [03:18] Guest34100: That nick is taken. [03:18] join #ubuntu-cn [03:18] interesting [03:18] Guest34100: /nick newName to change it [03:18] well I can install things again, which is the important part [03:19] Guest34100: yay! What else is wrong? [03:19] lucenut: if you do the install with the usb devices unplugged, maybe it will recognize the built in keyboard & mouse. You can add the usb devices after [03:19] the package I wanted to remove still isn't removing, but thats' ok [03:19] Guest34100: I can help with that too. What's the package? [03:19] nwn, it's a custom one I was trying to work on [03:19] I don't have any usb devices. [03:19] Guest34100: oh, neat! [03:19] :) [03:20] Just onboard laptop keyboard/touchpad. [03:20] Granted I don't understand squat about making .deb packages, and the scripting work was done by someone else [03:20] so I made it and tried to run it, which is about the time that this all started acting up [03:20] Guest34100: I was trying to learn the same thing in the summer [03:20] Guest34100: It's probably not written well :P [03:20] :) [03:20] oh, that's for sure [03:21] Sorry... I thought I saw that in a post earlier [03:21] though from what I read, there isn't much to write to make a .deb [03:21] just postinst script, and a prerm and postrm script [03:22] I figured that was the source problem for earlier stuff [03:22] Did you try installing with the net disconnected so it wouldn't update? [03:22] Guest34100: well now you know how to fix it [03:23] yup, delete the lock file, which then frees up all of the apt programs :) [03:23] Guest34100: that's right [03:24] so what's your expertise then edbian? [03:25] Guest34100: My expertise? Well that's a hell of a question :) I'm a student in grad school for computer science [03:25] :), and that's a hell of an answer [03:25] Guest34100: hahah, thanks [03:25] I just switched to computer programming from biology after a few years [03:26] Guest34100: Oh you're in the right major buddy. Comp sci is awesome! [03:26] taking a class on SQL right now, so I was downloading the query browser and openpoffice:database [03:26] Guest34100: why not install mysql and do the real thing [03:27] these were the first 2 options when I searched for "mysql" in USC [03:27] Guest34100: USC ? [03:27] Ubuntu Software Center, sorry [03:27] Guest34100: sudo apt-get install mysql-server [03:28] Guest34100: oh that's ok [03:29] Guest34100: i have a uestion for you but not related to Ubuntu, its in opensuse [03:29] I don't see an option for just plane MySQL [03:29] hm? don't know jack about OpenSuse, but shoot [03:29] Guest34100: what options do you see? I'm not sure MySQL has an entry in USC but I'm sure it's in the repos [03:30] Guest34100: USC doesn't show every package [03:30] smb is starting to piss me off.. [03:30] hah, I just made up "USC" and everyone already uses it, I'm proud [03:30] haha, It's easier than Ubuntu Software Center [03:31] SeaPhor: #opensuse may be what you're looking for. Also, search for "opensuse" @ http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/ [03:31] well, I see "MySQL Client", "MySQL Administrator", "MySQL Navigator", "MySQL Server", "GMySQLcc", and a bunch of miscillaneous programs that rely on it [03:31] Guest34100: MySQL server my friend [03:31] Guest34100: the database is a server by definition [03:32] hmmm, OpenOffice.org:database is hanging again on install about 2/3 the way through [03:32] Guest34100: what's it say? [03:32] that's weird [03:32] i need help with switching users on ubuntu [03:32] Guest34100: (just don't install it :P ) [03:33] nothing, it has just been sitting there for a while [03:33] needhelp: su to switch users [03:33] can't cancel it now, no X [03:33] Guest34100: ctrl + c [03:33] how would i go about checking to see if my neighbors are using my wifi?

[03:34] Guest34100: you're gonna have to kill the process by looking it up in ps -e again [03:34] when i click the userswitch the screen goes black and flashes and then goes to the login screen with my original user name as the only option to log on [03:34] Mannyuel: check the dhcp pool of your wifi router! [03:34] Mannyuel: look at your router's dhcp table [03:34] bah... if I have to go delete a file again and restart... [03:34] ok i let it cook for a while and then i get alot of weird stuff on the screen you get to by pressing f1 [03:34] capslock isn't working on that computer [03:34] Guest34100: you do... [03:35] no chance it's just busy and I can wait it out? [03:35] Guest34100: you could [03:35] if feels dirty to have to dig into ubuntu's guts like that and delete thigns [03:35] GLib-WARNING **: getpwid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) [03:35] Guest34100: but ctrl + c should work [03:35] thats the first line [03:35] Mannyuel: better yet, tell your router to only allow your MAC, that then has you asking 'who shall I allow to use my router?" [03:35] Guest34100: It is not dirty. The point of linux is that you can get your hands dirty :) [03:36] lol [03:36] yuler: lol, thanks, i help out there too, no, my statement was that i needed non-OS related help with sqlite, but thanks again ;) [03:36] if I really wanted to get my hands dirty, I'd pick linux from scratch [03:36] would i do that in terminaL? [03:36] anyone? [03:36] Guest34100: haha, :) [03:37] Guest34100: that is quiet an endeavor... especially for a newb... a complete newb, would never figure it out no matter how much reading they did.

[03:44] cp2_4eva: open synaptic, search catalyst and remove the package. The name of the package that has the ati prop. driver is fglrx [03:44] cp2_4eva: ati has an "uninstall" script... [03:44] i dont see that option anywhere [03:44] edbian: if he installed the driver from ati, thats not likely to work [03:44] its in ..... [03:44] SeaPhor, I don't know where that uninstall tool is located. I'm a newb. sorry [03:45] cp2_4eva: oh boy,... If the developer didn't provide an uninstall script then you're sol [03:45] cp2_4eva: when u install ATI it has an uninstalll script, trying to find/remember where they put it...

[03:51] cp2_4eva: are you listening? sys/admin/additional drivers highlight nvidia, and enable it [03:51] then you'll robably have to reboot [03:52] KM0201, simple as right click and enable? [03:52] cp2_4eva: yes... highlighti t.. and there's a button at the bottom that says "activate".. .hit it, it'll install some crap, then tell you to reboot [03:52] man, you guys make stuff harder than it needs to be [03:52] KM0201, im in thw sys folder....no admin [03:53] * SeaPhor lol/s @ KM0201 [03:53] cp2_4eva: the MENU... jeez.. system/admin/additional drivers [03:53] cp2_4eva: if you're not using ubuntu(which i now suspect your not)... go to whatever distro you're using', support channel [03:53] cp2_4eva: you know the menu at the top of the screen?

[03:55] you had /.../.../ so i figured CLI ya know? [03:55] well both have their uses [03:55] Danny78_: That is PLENTY to run gnome or KDE [03:55] cp2_4eva: well how else would have have described system/admin/additional drivers in a menu setting? [03:55] Danny78_: both at the same time! on 4 monitors [03:55] : System>Administration>...... In the GUI [03:55] ;) [03:56] KM0201, system-->admin-->additonal. [03:56] Danny78: you could use any GUI you want w/ that [03:56] hello [03:56] edbian: the best part is the ram cost $25 and the video card $30 [03:56] cp2_4eva: well, sorry... why don't you install Teamviewer, and i'll remote your desktop and i'll install it for you [03:56] Danny78_: It's plenty for Ubuntu [03:56] :) [03:57] KM0201, thanks bud. I'm on the reboot portion now. [03:57] edbian: can't wait to operate without lag [03:57] Danny78: which BFG card is it?... [03:57] Danny78_: The processor is the most important part of course [03:57] hello! i desperateley need gdm 2.32 in maverick. how can i achieve this? [03:57] anyone here have any experience with xubuntu? [03:57] edbian: its an Athlon 1.7 GHz [03:58] maxed out for mobo [03:58] don't mean to spam this room but I've no idea how to connect to a wpa2 network without a gui...anyone? [03:58] Danny78_: That's the weakest part of your system [03:58] Danny78_: :) single core? === tux is now known as Sammy [03:58] edbian: I have an Athlon 64 x2 but that will go into another comp with proper socket [03:58] a 1.7ghz isn't that bad... unless you're doing some really intense number crunching or graphic type stuff === Sammy is now known as Foxrun [03:59] edbina-- yeah, the 1.7 is single core [03:59] anyone know how to open a jar if the permissions tab doesnt show "allowing executable"? [03:59] Danny78_: Yeah, that's the weakest part of the system. [03:59] The_Maverick: Just make it executable? [03:59] I'm chrooted into my other partition, and while /proc does exits, it is empty. Why? [03:59] exist* [04:00] edbian if i make it exe then it just opens folders inside [04:00] The_Maverick: That's what executing is [04:00] edbian it has to open with java [04:00] KM0201, nvidia 460gtx is successfully working thanks to you......if I had a cookie I'd give it to ya. [04:00] The_Maverick: yeah [04:00] I'm going to put together another box with AM3/2 and use the dual core on it, w 4 GB ram [04:00] The_Maverick: execute it with java like this : java name.jar [04:01] cp2_4eva: quite all right..lol, glad you got it working.. but you made it more difficult than needed [04:01] Danny78_: nice [04:01] km0201, thats what us new Ubuntu-ers do. make it more difficult [04:01] true.. [04:02] I also have Geforce 8500 GT and Geforce 8800 GS, I think... the one with 300-something RAM [04:02] edbian i choose to "open with java" and it is labeled a jar. [04:02] KM0201: thats the job of a n00b ;) (no offense intended cp2_4eva, you said so yourself) ;P [04:02] edbian it still doesnt work. [04:02] The_Maverick: sure [04:02] so in the end it'll be three decent boxes [04:02] Danny78_: i have a 7900 w/ 512mb of ram, works perfect... also have an FX5500 w/ 256mb of ram, again, perfect [04:02] The_Maverick: Do it in the terminal so you can see some errors to figure out why it isn't working [04:02] i use dual screens on both [04:03] SeaPhor, none taken. i know this is what i do. eventually i'll be on yourside of the spectrum callin out n00bs lol [04:03] SeaPhor: yah, i guess so [04:03] edbain how do i go abouts doing that? [04:03] The_Maverick: open the terminal [04:03] The_Maverick: cd to the file [04:03] The_Maverick: then do java fileName.jar [04:03] KM0201: ubuntu is currently running on GEforece 5200 (128MB) [04:03] Danny78_: oh ok>>>> :) [04:03] The_Maverick: do you have java installed? [04:04] chipzzz yes i do [04:04] i have another question. Actually i'llhave two, but i'll do one at a time. any reason why DVI wont work on this card but HDMI does? [04:04] edbian how do i do the cd? pretty new [04:05] KM0201: the bottleneck right now has got to be the 512 MB RAM [04:05] The_Maverick: cute, alright. When you open the terminal it is in your home folder. it is always in some folder. if you type ls it wil llist the contents of hte folder it is in [04:05] Danny78_: i'd almost 100% guarantee.. have yout ried lubuntu or xubuntu [04:05] The_Maverick: type cd /path/to/dir/file.... [04:05] so, for now, I'm using XFCE [04:05] The_Maverick: is the jar on your desktop? [04:05] The_Maverick: To move to a new folder you use cd (change directory) like this: cd /home === yen-thao|HocBai is now known as yen-thao [04:05] The_Maverick: Make sense? [04:06] chipzzz yeah its on my desktop [04:06] KM0201: I tried xubuntu but it wasn't liking my hardware [04:06] how can i upgrade gdm to 2.32 in maverick? [04:06] The_Maverick: open a terminal, cd Desktop, java fileName.jar [04:06] The_Maverick: just type "cd Desktop" [04:06] (in a terminal window) [04:06] cp2_4eva: I see there is a setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to activate DVI Find the line that says Section "Screen" Insert a new line that says Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP". as seen in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [04:07] Danny78_: well if ubuntu likes your hardware, xubuntu will like your hardware, they are the same thing... i'd be like saying a Red Ford F150, is better than a Black Ford F150.. theya re the same thing, just cosmetically ifferent [04:07] sacarlson, ok i;ll check it out thanks [04:07] KM0201: then maybe it was a bad cd burn [04:07] Danny78_: depends..were you having probs w/ the live CD? [04:07] hey [04:07] edbian i do cd desktop. then i put the file name.jar and it says command now found [04:08] The_Maverick: java file.jar [04:08] The_Maverick: capitalization counts [04:08] I have ubuntu desktop 10 and GeforceFX5200, why dont I have any hardware acceleration??? [04:08] fix: here's hoping you don't go crazy tonight. [04:08] The_Maverick: you need the word java! [04:08] oh wait... that was fixxer [04:08] KM0201: to be honest, I don't remember, it might have been no internet connection or lots of lag [04:08] The_Maverick: and yes, it needs to be perfect, no typos, capitalization counts [04:08] I know my card is old, but I know it can run OpenArena, so why doesnt Ubuntu ship with decent drivers? [04:08] Danny78_: no internet?.. were they both 10.10?.. and lag... that may well be, if you were on the CD... live cd's are slow no matter what w/ only 512mb of ram [04:08] I have no 3d whatsoever [04:09] hello i want to be a good linux user, but i have no idea to where i can start, some tip???? [04:09] The_Maverick: "cd desktop" won't work, it's "cd Desktop" [04:09] fix: did you install the nvidia driver? (didn't we just go through this?) [04:09] atem: Are you using Ubuntu? [04:09] hello i want to be a good linux user, but i have no idea to where i can start, some tip???? [04:09] edbian Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: minecraft/jar [04:09] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: minecraft.jar [04:09] at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) [04:09] at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) [04:09] at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) [04:09] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321) [04:09] The_Maverick: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:09] * KM0201 sighs [04:09] The_Maverick: you didn't tell me this was minecraft! :) [04:09] I cant install the driver because it was compiled with a different compiler than my kernel and Nvidia dont offer src in their support site [04:09] minecraft!! [04:09] KM0201: I just know ubuntu runs smoothest [04:10] The_Maverick: what's your command line that you run it with? [04:10] The_Maverick: or are you just double clicking? [04:10] The_Maverick: I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with that. Try this. Close the terminal, open a new one and run this: java Desktop/minecraft.jar [04:10] Aginor: He says it doesn't run if he double clicks it [04:10] edbian: won't work [04:10] Danny78_: well thats fine... as long as something works. [04:10] Danny78_: was the ram on ebay new? [04:10] Anyone know of any open-source software that will agregate available updates on many machines into something central? i.e. serverA has updates for apache, linux-image, serverB has updates for openssl, etc [04:10] The_Maverick: do java -jar [04:10] atem: Are you using Ubuntu? [04:10] The_Maverick: in a console [04:11] Hi, i want to play online with my ps2, but don't know how to in ubuntu. [04:11] pls help!!!!! [04:11] The_Maverick: Go to his website. Look up the command you have to write. There is a lengthy one if I remember correctly [04:11] edbian: it needs to have -jar if you're going to run things from a jar file [04:11] Aginor: Ah, thanks [04:12] I have no 3d acceleration, I cant install the nvidia driver because it was compiled with a different compiler than my kernel and Nvidia dont offer src in their support site [04:12] anyone? [04:12] fix: if you're gonna PM me, at least answer my question [04:12] well i did mention that i was using xubuntu, but it worked fine in regular ubuntu [04:12] rather than just repeating crap here [04:12] sacarlson, should I reboot. And do I need to use " " because I saw some other lines that did have that [04:12] KM0201: no, used Kingston pair [04:12] The_Maverick: from this site: http://www.minecraft.net/download.jsp I can see run it like this: java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame [04:12] fix: use the ones supplied by Ubuntu in the synaptics [04:12] Danny78_: kingston is good ram. [04:13] KM0201: yeah, I tried others but finally settled on it [04:14] edbian: that's more complicated than it needs to be, but it would work ;) [04:14] Aginor: yeah [04:14] The_Maverick: I can't help you with xubuntu, I've never tried it [04:14] I needsleep, talk to you all later [04:14] The_Maverick: although it really is just a different graphical environment [04:15] aginor all i really think it has to do with is permissions [04:15] The_Maverick: maybe... [04:16] I just installed ratpoison (by doing sudo apt-get install ratpoison) but it doesn't show up when i start up ubuntu... just Gnome and gnome safe, anyone know why? [04:16] i just installed ubuntu on an old pc. it won't detect my usb pen drive. any ideas why? [04:17] when i try to create a folder in /var/www/ when i right click , the option to create folder/file is disabled , probably permissions , i'm logged in as main user , how do i get around it ? [04:17] edbian it is saying that it is blocked [04:17] The_Maverick: no, it sounds more like the windowing environment is passing the wrong argument to the java process, so it thinks that minecraft.jar is a class, instead of a jar archive full of executable files [04:17] Sean93: any specific messages in dmesg? [04:17] edbian: ? [04:17] Northwoods: either use the terminal and the mkdir command with sudo. Or open a nautilus window as root with gksudo nautilus [04:18] bonjoyee, how do i check? [04:18] The_Maverick: what is saying what is blocked? [04:18] Northwoods: How did you know I would answer?! :) [04:18] :) [04:18] Northwoods: but when you're done with the window you should close it [04:18] what is gksude nautilius ? [04:18] edbian The file '/home/maverick/Desktop/Minecraft.jar' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. [04:18] gksudo is graphical sudo. Sudo opens a command as root temporarily [04:19] Sean93: after connecting the drive...run "dmesg | less " in terminal...and see the last few lines [04:19] Northwoods: if youare trying to setup a webserver, use CLI and you may need to use sudo -i so you dont have to keep repeating "sudo.." [04:19] The_Maverick: chmod +x /home/maverick/Desktop/Mindecraft.jar [04:19] bonjoyee, alright, one sec [04:19] The_Maverick: Make it executable (it's a permissions thing) [04:19] thankyou guys [04:19] Northwoods: It worked I take it? [04:20] edbian alright that worked. thank you edbian [04:20] The_Maverick: the games works! :) [04:20] edbian: not tried it yet , but want to make shortcut for webbrowser [04:21] edbian sorry about mentioning late that it was xubuntu. getting help on the xubuntu channel is about as effective as fighting in water [04:21] Northwoods: good idea [04:21] The_Maverick: I would do the same thing. Just dont' mention it's xubuntu cause most of the time it doesn't make a difference. Get famiailar with the terminal. That doesn't change (usually not even across differen distros) [04:22] hmm which version of nvidia driver would be appropriate for GFX5200 ?? [04:22] hmm which version of nvidia driver would be appropriate for GFX5200 ?? [04:22] edbian: why not mention is xubuntu¿¿ [04:22] xangua: Because most of the time it doesn't matter. [04:22] edbian yeah i have used both. i just like xubuntu's speed and weight a little better. from what i have seen most things are the same. [04:23] I don't get on here and say, Hey I'm running gnome Ubuntu, how do I remove the apt lock? [04:23] The_Maverick: yep, it's just a graphical front end [04:24] Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to play need for speed on wine :) [04:24] Please RDP into my computer and help me delete windows XP , RDP- 68.34.230.124 user-administrator psw- password or blank [04:25] fix: that has to be the dumbestthing ever posted in the channel [04:25] edbian yeah i cant use any other distro except for ubuntu .04 and xub .04. broadcom made sure of that. i think the drivers work, but dont think the firmware is available [04:25] lol [04:25] hey, is anyone on here running the Linux native Cortex Command? [04:25] The_Maverick: Ubuntu just downloads the firmware from some website [04:25] bonjoyee, im not on the computer, its downstairs so i can't past it to you, but i didnt see anything about a usb [04:25] The_Maverick: the firmware is easily installed from the repositories, but you need the machine temporarily connected to the internet [04:26] I am running suse that grabbed the firmware just fine [04:26] * SeaPhor lol/s @ KM0201 fix ..... [04:26] my stupidity has been cronicled on the front page of wired.com [04:26] Sean93: can you remote login into that computer? [04:26] SeaPhor: the dude is amazing [04:26] bonjoyee, no internet, the only way i can get the wireless drives on the computer is by usb [04:27] Sean93: try opening a terminal and typing "lsusb" [04:27] Chipzzz, lsusb is empty [04:27] Sean93: ethernet? local network? [04:27] km0201 i have installed ubuntu .04 and .10 the exact same way. no go. i have even updated from .04 to .10 and it always kills my network [04:27] bonjoyee, no can do [04:27] The_Maverick: so your wireless doesn't work right now? [04:27] Sean93: usb disabled in bios? [04:28] km0201 it works with .04 not .10 [04:28] where is the list of applications in the "Open With..." Dialog stored? [04:28] The_Maverick: which wireless device do you have? [04:28] mine has about 50 Adobe Photoshop CS2 entries [04:28] KM0201: takes all kinds to make the world turn,,, but we can make them stronger, better, we have the tech.... [04:28] and lots of other duplicates [04:28] bonjoyee, thats the thing, i checked the bios and couldnt find anything related to usb [04:28] perhaps a missing or unavailable driver [04:28] km0201 broadcom [04:28] SeaPhor: he can't listen for nothing, i was even nice and PM'd him, and he can't follow a simple direction, so i gave up [04:28] ok [04:28] The_Maverick: there's a lot of broadcoms.. which one [04:28] km0201 one second [04:29] hi [04:29] Sean93: all usb drives(thumb) usually need a single driver thats in the kernel.. [04:29] woops [04:29] is there a utility to split 200 MB zip file into 10 zip files of 20MB each ? [04:29] * KM0201 hit the wrong X [04:29] another question from a newb. So i saved some data onto another partition of my HDD, if I load another OS, will I still have privileges to use that data....if I didn't set it to 777? [04:30] bonjoyee, i used another computer to host the hard drive when installing ubuntu and then put the hard drive back into the old pc. could that be causing problems? [04:30] Sean93: also after you plug it in..there should be atleast something logged in syslog / kern.log ect.. [04:30] km0201 im not sure. what is the terminal command for finding out? [04:30] kaushal: iirc rar does that [04:30] cp2_4eva: yes you can access it, if it's from windows permissions shouldn't be a problem [04:30] The_Maverick: lspci should show it [04:30] ok [04:30] Sean93: nope..linux configures/detects the hardware on startup! [04:30] cp2_4eva: if it's from linux even you shouldn't have a problem as long as you have root privs available [04:31] diemos, it's form Ubuntu 10.10. I am going to oad 10.4 over it. totally erase 10.10. [04:31] fix: i'll try to help you if you want, but will need to be in a separate channel, tooo much here, i have my own- PM me for the details [04:31] bonjoyee, where is syslog located? [04:31] SeaPhor: you've been warned, my pet rock listens better than he does [04:31] km0201 Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01) [04:31] Sean93: /var/log [04:31] cp2_4eva: just need to chown yourusername -R /path/to/mounted/disk [04:31] bonjoyee, ill go check [04:31] might need to sudo chown [04:31] The_Maverick: that device should work fine w/ the b43 driver under 10.10... [04:31] Sean93: is the usb good in the first place? [04:32] km0201 it doesnt :( [04:32] KM0201: i think my pet rock and yours need to hook up,,, maybe they can do it ;) [04:32] is it possible that I can load 10.4 through the 10.10 OS and keep my setting and files? [04:32] but that will recusively (in all subfiles and directories) change ownership [04:32] km0201 i can enable the b43 or the sta and the same outcome [04:32] The_Maverick: then you're doing something wrong... i just set that device up for someone yesterday [04:32] The_Maverick: did you install the firmware? [04:32] when you use b43? [04:33] km0201 not sure how to do that other than just installing the sta or b43 drivers [04:33] no [04:33] The_Maverick: what driver are you using under 10.04.... sta or b43? === yen-thao is now known as yen-thao|uido [04:34] km0201 sta, but i have used b43 and it will work too. [04:35] hey anybody...is there a install wizard of some sort that will easily let me install one version of Ubuntu over another? totally wiping out the previous Ubuntu but still keep settings? [04:35] The_Maverick: well, most likely when you install 10.10, you can use the STA driver... but you need to make sure the packages are installed for the STA driver to work [04:36] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [04:36] cp2_4eva: no, just make a copy of your important data and next time make a partition for Home ;) [04:36] The_Maverick: see above, and look at installing the STA driver "wo internet access" [04:36] km0201 i do choose the sta driver and i completely update pkgs and it doesnt work [04:37] hi guys. I've recently upgraded an xmbc machine of mine (which config was pretty sweet, bt just a tad underpowered); I yanked out the the HDD from the old system & put it in the new one, and upgraded the GPU from an NVidia to an ATI. I seem to be having trouble with the drivers, both proprietary & FLOSS. any ideas, please? things were sooooooo much simpler with EnvyNG [04:37] The_Maverick: hm, it should work fine... [04:37] xangua, ok thanks. [04:37] km0201 i know it should.... [04:37] pienkie: yeah, much easier w/ envy..lol [04:37] bonjoyee, usb is definitely good. AFAIK there is nothing about it in syslog [04:37] The_Maverick: 32 or 64bit? [04:37] * SeaPhor HATES envy [04:37] km0201 64 [04:37] ahhh... [04:38] i think something happened in the last 10.10 kernel upgrade, that broke the broadcom driver in 64bit.. i'm almost positive i read that [04:38] KM0201: what the hell happened with envy? it simplified life so much? [04:38] its like malware for linux [04:38] pienkie: it met its long overdue death... thank goodness [04:38] what is envy? [04:39] Sean93: it's a program that made people who used it, envious of those who didn't [04:39] lol [04:39] KM0201: what? so now we have to introduce new users of the joys & frustrations (aka "private hell") of dealing with drivers? [04:39] anyone know where the list of files that show in the Open With gtk dialog are stored? i got alot of entries that i wanna remove but the remove button is greyed out on the ones i wanna get rid of [04:39] pienkie: what graphics card are you havinga problem w/? [04:39] 'km0201 yeah that sounds possible. i mean there arent too many mistakes you can make when installing fresh. i install, update, restart, install drivers then restart again and just doesnt work. all connected to the internet via ethernet cable [04:40] KM0201: at the moment I have an ATI Radeon 3450 HD [04:40] Sean93: using usb drives should be a no brainer actually, i believe it has to do something with the usb connection/ bios.. [04:40] bonjoyee, you here? [04:40] pienkie: ok... so you need to download the ATI driver.. it's not that difficult [04:40] pienkie: one of those tried to drive me to drink recently. the drivers are less than perfect [04:41] I mp4 with sd reader can't saft remove [04:41] bonjoyee, what should i look for in the bios? [04:41] Sean93: envyng was a little app you could install & run to simply select your brand of vid card (ATI, NVidia, Intel), select what driver you wanted (open or closed source) & it simply automagically installed & configured it for you. no mess, no fuss! [04:41] Sean93: tried different usb ports? does the led blink after inserting it? [04:41] Sean93: what pienkie fails to tell you, is envy was WELL known for trainwrecking systems [04:42] even I can remove the mp4 itself,but can't remove it mp4's sd reader [04:42] bonjoyee, i havnt tried another port. the light flashes when connected [04:42] KM0201: I've downloaded & installed the 200MB installer, but the results are not all that hot. I'll try reinstalling the generated .deb's again. [04:43] Sean93: is this a simple usb storage / some usb modem? [04:43] pienkie: dependin on the card, some of the ATI cards aren't all that great [04:43] lately my update manager has been tryin gto do a dist-upgrade and i havent changed any settings and have it set to only upgrade to long term releases anyone have any idea why its tryin gto do a dist-upgrade? [04:43] bonjoyee, usb storage [04:43] KM0201, Sean93: envy may have wrecked systems, as I'm sure many other apps have in the past, but I cannot honestly say I've heard of or experienced any such issues myself of from my mates. [04:44] pienkie: then you weren't hanging out here in #ubuntu back when Envy was at the height of its popularity (ubuntu's 6.06, 6.10, 7.04, 7.10) [04:45] KM0201: I've got an identical card in another system of mine, & if works well. I'd be *very* happy running the FLOSS drivers if it gived me 3D h/w-accelleration & decent performance. how can I *force* it's use & reconfig? [04:45] anyone know where the list of files that show in the Open With gtk dialog are stored? i got alot of entries that i wanna remove but the remove button is greyed out on the ones i wanna get rid of [04:45] I can't get another xwindows manager to install properly on my computer... =( === adrian is now known as Guest52918 [04:47] pienkie: i'm not really that familiar w/ the ATI probs... but i know the few times i've helped someone download/install the driver from ATI.com, they'e been happy with it [04:47] pienkie: personally, i use Nvidia... so i have a rather trouble free life [04:47] KM0201: i remember in around 7.04 days when i even mentioned "envy" the ops would threaten to kick/ban me.. then in the next release it was in the repos??? [04:47] SeaPhor: yup!...lol [04:47] SeaPhor: the funny thing was, even after they put it in the repos, you'd get kicked if you recommended it [04:47] how do i disable apparmor ?

[04:50] pienkie, the issue is that no one wants to help when things go wrong [04:50] pienkie, envy is trouble.

[05:27] yea the network is fine [05:27] Whenever I close my laptop lid, my screen goes blank and never comes back. I end up having to restart every single time, which I highly annoyig. The computer is responsive ( I can ssh to it), but from the screen's POV, it's as good as dead [05:28] i have deleted the wifi indicator applet how do i get it back [05:28] sanjay_: ubuntu studio isn't supported here..b ut all ubuntu studio is, is ubuntu w/ some GUI tweaks and different software... [05:28] i think you just gotta restart your vinagre [05:28] elik, go in the screen saver and power settings and then you can stop it doing that. [05:28] randomusr_, http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/puttygen.exe [05:28] did you avahi-daemon restart? slgma? [05:28] i dont believe so, how do i do that?

[05:29] KM0201 shall i use ubuntu studion with ubuntu 10.10 in my pc [05:29] <___________xD> asd [05:29] thiefy: actually not. There is no option to do nothing when the lid is closed. Other options are suspend, hibernate and shut-down. Blank screen is as soft as it gets [05:29] sanjay_: ubuntu studio is a completely different version of ubuntu... it is not supported here. [05:29] wait, what are you using? slgma, vino? [05:30] ok [05:30] yes [05:30] the default vnc server [05:30] i mean the little wifi icon that i click to list available networks [05:30] rawrite, Does that create a key for both Windows and Linux Host? Can I do that from the BASH Shell? [05:30] KM0201: and that was exactly the point where network-manager refused to work properly again, so i had to switch to wicd... [05:30] how do I find out where a certain script I keep running is actually located on my computer? [05:30] hi, bad new from the morning, my ISP blocked the torrent [05:30] i tried connecting to myself via the default remote desktop viewer, and from my ipod touch app Jaadu VNC [05:30] both of which worked before [05:30] redneck05: right... add indicator applet back to your panel.. you probably just removed the indicator panel [05:30] d3cented: wicd is fine, but if he's online, then network manager is running [05:31] slgma: what is seen with ps -A | grep vino [05:31] sure [05:31] elik, in the screen saver settings, click on 'power management' in there there is an option to set when to put the computer to sleep or never do it. [05:31] thiefy: I did set it so it never goes to sleep though [05:31] any one know ho to pass the torrent blockedddddddddddddddddddddd [05:31] i just did that and it turned into a sound volume indicator [05:31] slgma, go to terminal, sudo service /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart [05:31] elik, so you think it is not listening to that setting? [05:31] 5961 ? 00:00:03 vino-preference [05:31] - sacarlson [05:31] elik, or do you think it is trying to hibernate or something. [05:31] thiefy: the problem is that there is not way to tell it not to blank the screen on lid close [05:32] thiefy: it's not trying to hibernate as ssh is responsive [05:32] randomusr_, you create private/public keys from bash shell hten import it in using puttygen.exe [05:32] ri feel kinda stupid cuz i deleted the whole bottom bar and now i'm trying to build another one [05:32] ben0 [05:32] unrecognised service [05:33] slgma: you should also see vino-server, try togle allow other users off then on again see if vino-server apears === redneck05 is now known as hole_ [05:33] strange...

[05:41] sacarlson yea it loads from the menu or terminal fine [05:41] slgma: togle it off and on see what error come out on the terminal it's running in [05:41] cp2_4eva, before you launch that program, do sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade that will help.

Rebooted, add the new one as spare and recovered. My question is: Once the recovery done, should I swap them back? Or just leave them. [05:48] KM0201, he says it works in maverick, but not in lucid. [05:48] KM0201, on 10.4 it is kinda working.....low resolution [05:48] how do I configure my linux host to use a private Key for putty logins? [05:48] thiefy: oh ok.. i wasn't aware he changed back to 10.04 [05:48] I have the private key already [05:48] cp2_4eva: well, have you set your resolution in nvidia-settings? [05:48] This is RAID-1 over software [05:48] rofl sacarlson [05:48] that worked [05:48] KM0201, you have to help him again, i must go afk. :) [05:48] lol [05:48] km0201, thats he problem....I don't have the nvidia setting option [05:49] KM0201, good luck mate. [05:49] does sudo nvidia-settings give error? cp2_4eva [05:49] no proprietary drivers were offered. [05:49] slgma: I'm not sure why the preference did run it then [05:49] yea [05:49] me either [05:49] cp2_4eva: then most likely, the nvidia driver not installed... is it enabled/installed in system/admin/hardware drivers? [05:49] .. [05:49] says not a command [05:49] hmm [05:49] cp2_4eva, what happens when you type gksu nvidia-settings [05:49] cp2_4eva: probably won't work, but try sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [05:50] thiefy: seems like it didn't work. I was able to set it to do nothing, but the screen still goes blank and doesn't come back [05:50] give KM0201 $300 and he'll come to your house and fix er up real good. [05:50] thanks alot for your help sacarlson [05:50] slgma: it seems I see the vino-server running even if it's disabled so it must start at boot at some point, maybe it's not starting there for you [05:50] thiefy, when i did that it gave me back nothing [05:50] then not installed cp2_4eva do as before when KM0201 had you go to System>admin.....and install the drivers [05:50] paused for a sec. [05:50] thiefy: gksu/sudo shouldn't be required to run nvidia-settings ... it can be ran as user, you jsut can't modify xorg with it [05:50] elik, that could be your laptop taht is doing that and not the operating system.... just a thought. it might be a load of huey. but hard to say. [05:51] thiefy: huey? [05:51] SeaPhor, in hardwarei it isn't an option. its blanks [05:51] cp2_4eva, you'll have to do what KM0201 was saying, [05:51] elik, maybe it's spelt hooey actually [05:51] cp2_4eva: install nvidia-settings [05:51] !rdesktop [05:51] elik, a nice word for 'crap' [05:51] !rdp [05:51] thiefy: right :) [05:51] !vnc > AbhiJit [05:51] AbhiJit, please see my private message [05:52] thiefy: it's weird as it really happens only when I close the lid [05:52] KM0201, doing the nvidia-setting install [05:52] cp2_4eva: its probably not gonna work, but we'll see [05:52] thiefy: the keywords for googling that are also... tricky [05:52] cp2_4eva: so what are you doing, dual booting 10.04 and 10.10, on the same machine? [05:53] KM0201, yup [05:53] cp2_4eva: hmm... [05:53] cp2_4eva: i won't pretend that makes any sense whatsoever [05:53] thiefy: also, my screen flashes randomly... [05:53] KM0201, do you know how to use terminal server client which is in lucid? [05:53] elik, maybe check forums from your laptop maker's website. see what they say. or first i would check your BIOS. see if you can trun that off. [05:53] AbhiJit: a little bit. [05:53] why? [05:53] elik, i had a girlfiend that did that too. [05:54] KM0201, can you please help me connect it? [05:54] KM0201, Im a newb. i when with 10.10 first and was a BIT buggy, so I wanted to try 10.4 [05:54] thiefy: I should meet her [05:54] how do I configure my linux host to use a private Key for putty logins? [05:54] :) [05:54] how do I configure my linux host to use a private Key for putty logins?

[05:54] went with a 64bit 10.4 [05:54] haha [05:54] oops [05:54] cp2_4eva: 10.4 does not exist..are you talking 10.04, or 11.04? [05:54] cp2_4eva: 10.04, is older than 10.10.. [05:54] he's talking about lucid. [05:55] I went with Lucid 2nd, maverick first [05:55] * KM0201 starts counting to 10 million [05:55] thiefy: I'll look into the bios thing uppon next reboot, but I had debian on that machine a month ago and didn't see this issue [05:55] whoa whoa. LTS.....heard it was more stable [05:55] cp2_4eva: so 10.10 was buggy, so you thouht it made sense to try an even older OS? [05:55] yy [05:55] cp2_4eva, go with maverick second and maverick first. = problem solved! yaaaaaay [05:55] cp2_4eva: no, its not more stable... whoever told you that needs hit w/ a brick... it jus has a longer support cycle. [05:56] it will receive updates for 3yrs, instead of 18mo(like ubuntu 10.10) [05:56] KM0201, siiiiiiigh.......the n00b is being taken in may directions [05:56] *many [05:56] cp2_4eva: clearly... [05:57] doing a reboot and seeing how 10.10 is....I really can't get any ubuntu to boot on first try and DVI wasn't working in 10.10 [05:57] cp2_4eva: 10.04, is no more stable/unstable, than 10.10.... really where 10.04 shines, is in an enterprise type environment, where you don't want to upgrade 200 machines every 6mo, ecause it is supported w/ updates for 3yrs [05:57] did the change to the xorg file and didnt work [05:57] cp2_4eva: LTS, has nothing to do w/ stability [05:57] hey everyone! I am trying to setup vsftpd so that one user has read/write access to a certain directories in the /var/www/ directory. Does anyone know how I would go about setting this up? I have checked in the vsftp man page and cannot figure it out. Any help would be great!! [05:57] elik, oooh. so it is the OS doing it. yeah, that's a tough one mate. when i googled for this "ubuntu disable screen blank" i see lots of good results. i hope one actually works for you. [05:57] now KM0201 ,,, thats not always the case,,, 8.10 should never have been released ,,, was a pos... [05:57] SeaPhor: well, true... [05:57] but 10.10 is quite stable [05:58] cp2_4eva, you could always try linuxmint peopple say it runs great. [05:58] 8.10 wasn't so bad... my dad recommended it to several of his competitors [05:58] lol [05:58] thiefy: I was trying to google for the specific issue (going blank and not coming back, but I'll try to widen the search a bit (and not that old girlfriend of yours ;) ) [05:58] KM0201, dude at work told me lucid ws the way to go [05:58] thiefy: thanks [05:58] hahah [05:58] hope i helped a lil big elik [05:58] cp2_4eva: dudes are work are usually idiots... [05:58] KM0201, lol. [05:58] maybe tehre is an nvidia chan or soemthing you could ask more in. [05:58] 8.10 was truly kick...however, 10.10 is bypassing them all... [05:58] cp2_4eva: if lucid doesn't support all your hardware, but maverick does, then what do you gain by sticking w/ lucid? [05:59] thiefy: even if you didn't, I appreciate you taking the time :) [05:59] KM0201, this is true....... [05:59] cp2_4eva: i know [05:59] elik, ok, if you can't get it to work by tomorrow, i will send her over to help you feel better. [05:59] cp2_4eva: thats why your whole issue is really confusing me [05:59] thiefy: if you hadn't [05:59] what is the nvidia channel? [05:59] thiefy: sounds like a deal [05:59] and do you think they would be Ubuntu saavy? [06:00] cp2_4eva: i think they'll laugh at you.. cuz you're not even ubuntu saavy [06:00] KM0201, thats ok though. as long as I get help. i don't care what they call me [06:00] * KM0201 sits on his hands [06:01] cp2_4eva: that wsa ripe for a comeback.. but anyway.. it's quite possible that device just isn't supported in the 10.04 kernel, and is in 10.10.. at which point, you'll have to download the nvidia driver from nvidia.com [06:02] cp2_4eva: whats the device caled again? [06:02] km0201, well looks like i'll be loaidng a different OS on there then. the device is a gtx 460 [06:02] KM0201, i have the answer to cp2_4eva trick him into typing sudo apt-get dist-upgrade muhahaha [06:02] lol [06:02] KM0201, you wouldnt dare!!!!! [06:02] he'll be on maverick and not even know it. [06:02] hahah [06:02] genious! [06:03] I'm new to Linux, and am running in a VirtualBox, but it looks good so far. :) [06:03] Although I want it to be fullscreen. [06:03] cp2_4eva: i guess i'm still perplexed by your "issue" [06:03] And I need to do something with Guest things. :P [06:03] joshrl: you need to install guest additions [06:03] Can anyone give me a link to that? [06:03] Well, how to install it I mean. :P [06:03] joshrl: what version of vbox are you using? [06:04] 4. [06:04] KM0201, im getting this: mountall: disconnected from Plymouth [06:04] joshrl, you have to install the virtual box 'guest additions' then you can do that. after that works, then look up using 'seamless mode' you'll like that even better. [06:04] cp2_4eva: when are you getting that? [06:04] Okay. :D [06:04] * KM0201 likes seamless mode [06:04] KM0201, i'll go into failsafe and then fix it. this is before the load. [06:04] it's sweet. [06:04] joshrl, there is no link to it. it comes with virtualbox. [06:05] Yeah, I was talking about a link to a page that'll lead me to how to install it though. >.< [06:05] joshrl, up at the top of the vbox screen, in the menus there you will see where you can install it onto your client OS. [06:05] As far as I have got is pressing the Install Guest Addtions button. :P [06:05] joshrl, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/virtualbox-guest-addons.html [06:05] So it's now mounted. [06:05] then, browse the cd you just 'mounted' [06:05] and run the installer. [06:05] joshrl: so you have the "cd" mounted on your ubuntu desktop for guest additions? [06:06] Yup. [06:06] that website does spell it out exactly though if you wanna read it... [06:06] joshrl: do this... open the cd(so you can browse it) [06:06] thiefy: does it? [06:06] hi! is there a way when having the ubuntu.iso on a running system in some directory to install this ubuntu over the same partition, maybe with tricks like copying the iso to a ramdis or something? [06:06] yep. it's pretty straight forward. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/virtualbox-guest-addons.html [06:07] Okay. :) [06:07] I need to install the STA Broadcom driver on a netbook which does not have a wired ethernet connection [06:07] Is there any good way to download all of the .deb files with there dependencies to do this? [06:07] *their [06:07] thiefy: only issue w/ those instructions.. doesn't tell him how to get to the proper path of the file [06:08] hello. Is there a way to add a new group of network devices to network manager? [06:09] I currently have "Wired Networks" and "Wireless Networks" can I add another? [06:09] xcthulhu: do you have the ubuntu install cd? [06:09] Kre10s, Um...what - ya mean like another tab? [06:10] xcthulhu: it has no ethernet conector or you just don't have an ethernet cable? don't see many wifi device that didn't have one [06:10] yup ^_^ [06:12] Kre10s, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager [06:12] I guess I'll update before I do all this Guest Additions and stuff. [06:12] Kre10s: I'm not a fan of network-manager but you can add more network devices in other ways [06:13] Hey, ive been having issues with sound since... 9.04 is there a script to go back to the good ol happy alsa mixer i used to have? [06:14] joshrl, it's easier than you think. [06:14] hey does this sound like a kernal? hp7xx-2.6.25-stable [06:14] The_Explorer, You can use Synaptic or apt-get to install the old fashioned alsa mixer [06:14] joshrl, is the machine in the vm a windows installation or a linux one? [06:14] shawn, yes. a modified one. [06:15] sacarlson: ok. what do you use? [06:15] ah [06:15] i believe taht is what i need [06:15] i wonder if there are modules for it [06:15] shawn, i would guess that is for an hp 7 series computer. [06:15] HP Jornada 720 [06:15] :) [06:15] Kre10s: I just setup static in /etc/network/interfaces [06:15] shawn, that does look like it's meant for yours then. [06:15] I'm running Ubuntu in VirtualBox. [06:15] k [06:16] With Windows 7 as the host OS. [06:16] iw as trying 2.6.28 from a friend [06:16] reformating [06:16] !broadcom | xcthulhu [06:16] xcthulhu: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [06:16] YankDownUnder, i know I can, but i want to kill the headphone jack autodetect too. cause it cuts out randomly [06:16] i wish someonew ould talk in #jlime === happy-dude is now known as schan [06:17] The_Explorer, Cuts out randomly? Hmmm....strange.... [06:17] ah, how would i extract a .tar.gz? [06:17] shawn: command line [06:17] untar jvcf or something? [06:17] shawn: tax xzf [06:17] i know lol [06:17] tax? [06:17] k [06:17] does ubuntu support hdmi input ? from what hardware? [06:17] Kre10s: I manualy edit the interfaces file with gedit, all my systems that have more than one network device are servers that are custom set [06:17] tar xvzf file.tar.gz [06:17] joshrl, ok, in that vm, open a terminal. in tehre type cd /media/ then type ls and tell me what you see in there. (i think it's in there) [06:17] YankDownUnder, strange or not, there must be some way to kill the autodetection, i really dont mind adjusting the mixer by hand. [06:18] what is the kernel option nohz=off for? [06:18] I'm still updating, so I'll get there soon! [06:18] shawn: yeah, tar [06:18] oh nt tax? [06:18] sorry [06:18] *not? [06:18] is there is any program life perrblock for ubuntu? [06:18] shawn: nope [06:18] joshrl, i have ubuntu as the host os and xp as the guest os. so i can't follow along exactly. :) [06:18] shawn: just like YankDownUnder said :) [06:18] ? [06:18] I see. :P [06:19] oh ty [06:19] shawn, tar xvzf filename.tar.gz [06:19] Well having Ubuntu as a host means you'll understand it better! [06:19] haha. hopefully. [06:19] how do i format from CLI? [06:19] like /dev/sdc [06:19] josh, what is it you are updating? [06:19] Okies, now it wants a restart. :P [06:19] shawn, What are you trying to format? [06:19] And I'm updating Ubuntu. [06:19] It had a lot to update. [06:19] aah [06:19] a compact flash partition [06:20] shawn, Right - well, you can do "mkfs.vfat /dev/whatever" => Or you can do it through GParted [06:20] ext2 [06:20] sdc2 [06:21] how would i type it? [06:21] GParted steals more than its supposed to [06:21] shawn, mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc2 [06:21] ah [06:21] Kre10s: for a travel computer I might have wicd and wpagui avalable [06:21] Windows is superior [06:21] shawn: make sure you use the right /dev.. you might have bad surprises [06:21] MR^E: obvious troll [06:21] MR^E, that was quite the bold lie. [06:22] it is [06:22] thiefy: It responded with VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151/ [06:22] i am very confident [06:22] MR^E: superior to what, MS-DOS? [06:22] lol [06:22] Yes - we're all Microsoft fans in here. [06:22] joshrl, yaaaay. (you found that in the /media folder right? [06:22] I figured [06:22] m 392 not bad [06:22] Yup.

(Or whatever you guys call them. :P) [06:23] where can get documentaion on how to use this terminal server client http://tsclient.sourceforge.net/ ?? [06:23] shawn, could be worse... [06:23] ? [06:23] joshrl, ok, now type cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151 then, type ls again. do you see a file called VBox...somethingsomething.sh [06:23] join #centos for a real conversation [06:23] thiefy: interesting bit: whenever I press and release the button, I can see my screen for just a few miliseconds, before it goes blank again [06:23] can someone kick MR^E ? [06:23] elik, which button is that? [06:24] Please help. running java applets crashes my networking.

[06:25] shawn, keep at er. sometimes it takes a year or so to release windows from it's clutch on your life. [06:25] lol [06:25] I'm glad that I was around before MS Windows was around. [06:26] whats with MR^E? [06:26] joshrl, type ls /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151 and msg me the results of what it finds. [06:26] shawn, he hasn't been laid in 6 years.

[06:27] bash: /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151: No such file or directory [06:27] elik: i actually like centos and fedora, but the # from fedora and centos are nothing less than the elitest from nazi-germany [06:27] thiefy: he runs window$... he gets screwed every time he turns on his computer [06:27] shawn, now is your time. step away from that keyboard and go out and get her. [06:27] Dang...I can't remember what it was like to be 17 anymore...

[06:27] hehehehehehehe...yes, the elitist RH/Fedora stuff knocked me away from it... [06:27] joshrl, that is odd. where did it go? joshrl, up at the top of the vbox window, click that menu item that says install guest additions again. then see if that folder comes back. [06:27] Because I'm still in the media folder or something. :P [06:28] shawn, beer helps them co-operate. [06:28] The folder is there. [06:28] would that path i typed work? [06:28] I can browser it and all. [06:28] id on't drink [06:28] * i don't [06:28] joshrl, hmm, ok. get in it. and tell me what you see in there.

I want to know which type of network adapter(pci) I have, is it 10, 100 or 1000? how to know, i tried with sysinfo not working, thanks [06:29] speaking of vbox...when I use the "right Ctl" button i cant seem to ever switch back and forth between vbox and windows...once ive went to devices and shared my usb key/mouse it cant get it back to windows [06:29] problem with usb Adsl modem. anyone please provide step by step instructions. modem model is beetel 100 cx [06:29] shawn, yeah, it'd help if you wanted to view your downloads folder... [06:29] sta7ic, did you install guest additions? [06:29] well extract an archive from there [06:29] guest458713, eth-tool [06:29] in about 6 mintues, joshrl will be able to tell you how. hahah [06:29] 32bit, 64bit, autorun.sh, AUTORUN.INF, VboxLinuxAdditions.run, VboxSolarisAdditions.run and the VboxWindowsAdditions...

[06:30] shawn, I build servers that are 10.10, running Vbox for MS crap....works like a champ. [06:30] For UNIX Software. [06:30] joshrl, perfect. now right click on that autorun.sh and go to properties. under the permissions tab. click the lil pretty check box that says, allow to run file as a program. then hit ok. once that is done, go and see if it is still checked. [06:31] thiefy: yep, should I have not? [06:31] Anyone mind helping me for a sec, for some reason ubuntu is saying my hard drive is out of space even though it says only 30 percent of the HDD has been used, same thing when i boot a live cd it says I have about 19 GB free, but nothing will write to the disk. [06:31] thiefy: It was already checked. [06:31] sta7ic, no. it is good. you want it installed. [06:31] TornadoChas3r: what does the command 'df -h' say [06:31] is their a shortcut with terminal tof ind the filepath + file you want? [06:31] * to find [06:31] TornadoChas3r, You might want to boot to the live cd and do a full disk check - that's what it sounds like... [06:31] thiefy: you mean the guest add on for usb 2.0 support? [06:32] joshrl, oh, that's odd. cool. tell me the full path to that file. /media/VBOX... something something/autorun.sh [06:32] sta7ic, yeah, it does other stuff also. display wise. [06:32] I wouldn't know how to find it. >.< [06:32] joshrl, isn't it at the top of your nautilus window? [06:32] it's true that i can reach yhe speed of 1000M between two devices 1000M compatibe, ex: PC-PC via Router? thanks [06:32] Too bad Ubuntu server has a higher elevation exploit atm [06:32] thiefy: I just specified the filters for my mouse and keyboard [06:32] hey guys, two questions. 1) what "service" and "port" does irc run on? 2) how do i get a non-repository executable file to run? (it seems to be blocked by default) thnx [06:32] !ot | MR^E [06:32] MR^E: #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! [06:32] I guess it;s /media/VBOX...something/autorun.sh/? [06:33] joshrl, yeah, but i want to know the something something part. [06:33] user___: the service is usually ircd and the port is 6667 [06:33] by default [06:33] Well, I can't see the path onscreen, but it should be /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151/autorun.sh/ [06:33] non repo bins can run fine [06:33] Im thiknking of doing a check, but it takes a long time of course. I dont see why it would happen all of the sudden though. Im running a live cd on the server at the moment because a update also failed becuase of this and now it panics on boot [06:33] Yeah. [06:33] TornadoChas3r: df -h [06:33] sta7ic: thanks but it doesn't list that service in firestarter (firewall) [06:34] joshrl, cool. ok, in a terminal type this: cd /media/VBOXADDITIONS_4.0.0_69151/ [06:34] ya i did it, i need to send a screenshot of it though hold on [06:34] It has the small hard disk icon, then media, then VBOX. [06:34] wait.. give me a second to run ssh on here [06:34] I have a Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 wifi network controller, on a netbook with no wired ethernet connection [06:34] joshrl, then once yer in that folder, type sudo sh ./autorun.sh [06:34] thiefy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen [06:34] TornadoChas3r: are you using command line irc? if so, type /exec -o df -h [06:34] so i downloaded a program i want to use in wine, but its blocked by default as an executable (presumably because it wasn't download via repository). how can i bypass this? [06:34] Any advice on how to install wifi? [06:34] hmm, i'll have to read that in a sec elik. [06:34] thiefy: I so happen to have "lockup when closing lid with intel graphics" and am about to do the Force Pipe A Quirk thingy :D [06:35] And type my password I assume. :P [06:35] uset=== [06:35] stat7ic: actually that worked for irc, thank you. [06:35] elik: it probably locks up because it tries to sleep [06:35] Can someone help me with Ubuntu 10.10 installation on a PC with Xp, I have had issues attempting to load the OS for the past week [06:35] thiefy: more to the point: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#Force Pipe A Quirk [06:35] It's working!

[06:35] user. use. wine foo.exe. not the gui [06:35] good job! [06:35] elik: what about suspend [06:35] :P [06:36] user___, Or, if you are at the command line, you can type "chmod +x /path/to/file" [06:36] sta7ic: and the laptop can actually go to sleep, but doesn't in that case [06:36] i am right clicking and opening with wine and its telling me its untrusted [06:36] wow i can't extract without permisisons.. [06:36] how do i do that? [06:36] ok xcthulhu, i'll try that thankyou [06:36] can someone helo a newb trying to switch to UBuntu thorough this install? [06:36] Please respinf [06:36] respond [06:36] elik: does the laptop lock up or does the monitor just turn off, for example, can you still ssh into the laptop when you close the lid or ping ? [06:37] Rob___, What do you need? [06:37] Rob___, boot the computer with your ubuntu live cd or usb key. run the gparted program. (or whatever they call it, partition editor) then, shrink down your winders partition, add a new partition, then you can install ubuntu to it. after you reboot. [06:37] tahnks everyone [06:37] I did and it keeps booting to Xp and not the CD [06:37] I have checked the boot order and it is set to boot from the CD drive first yet it still boots to XP === jamie is now known as hole_ [06:37] how do i sudocopy? [06:37] Rob___, then try hitting esc as it just very first turns on. or you might need to hit F12 or F10 or soemthing. you need to tell the cojmputer to boot to the cd and not the hard drive. that's all. [06:37] Rob___, You need to press "escape" or F1 right when it boots up to get into firmware [06:37] sudo cp and then the paths? [06:37] Rob___: can you edit bios settings to boot to cd? [06:38] sta7ic: I can ssh in [06:38] Rob___, All BIOS systems are different, but your computer should say what to hit right when it boots up [06:38] Can u tell me how to do that? [06:38] Unless it's a mac [06:38] Rob___: you need to change the bios to boot default to CD and not hard drive? sometimes you have it set to boot of CD first, but then you have to go and put the correct CDROM in the first spot [06:38] Okies, that went successfully, now to restart and change resolution! [06:38] I have a COMPAQ Presario SR2010NX [06:38] how can i install ubuntu byssh if on target machine the ubuntu.iso lies? [06:38] otheriwse it will boot to the next device when it doesnt detect a CD [06:38] ok, now 4 people have said the same thing to Rob___ [06:38] hah [06:38] or hwo do i copy a fodler? [06:39] Rob___:When the computer boots, it should tell which key to press to enter setup [06:39] i got one more issue i've installed ubuntu 1010 on an hp touchsmart tablet pc and everything works flawlessly exept the wifi anyone know anything about this(i've googled the issue already) [06:39] Pressing F10 opens the BIOS of Compaq Presario desktops 2001 and earlier.Pressing F1 opens the BIOS of the S3000 series, 6400 series, and 2002 models [06:39] <_Neytiri_> how do i determine if a character is not in a string of data eg find if # is in $eData[2] [06:39] into /411 MB Filesystem/lib/modules? [06:39] elik: sadly i think i have come across that a long time ago, like them monitor wont turn back on or the video card stops...what happens if you switch monitors like function key and monitor button the laptop [06:39] Right and the CD drive is in the first position of the que [06:39] <_Neytiri_> whops wogn chan [06:40] Rob___, how did you burn that ubuntu cd? [06:40] sorry for the delay, here is the ouput of df -h [06:40] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/y5NmJ3Fw [06:40] Rob___: double check the bios, sometimes there is more than one setting to force it to boot into CD...pain in #$%! [06:40] Rob___: in POST press F9-key, or ESC-key [06:40] I was hoping for it to be my resolution, but I guess this big'll do. >.< [06:40] he might have burnt that iso wrong.... [06:40] Its a good copy it opens on my laptop as my previous copy was burned too fast and was bad.This time its not the CD [06:41] sta7ic: didn't try that yet [06:41] joshrl, see up where you clicked install guest crap? go to the first menu up there and try out 'seamless mode' you will get a wood. [06:41] xcthulhu: did you get your broadcom driver installed? [06:41] Where's that darn xorg.conf... looks like it's not there anymore. All I can find is xorg.conf.d [06:41] Rob___, what program did you use to burn that cd? did kyou burn it as a bootable iso? or just burn the iso file onto the cd? [06:41] Whoa. [06:42] It mixed Ubuntu and Windows 7 together! [06:42] joshrl, oh yes. it is good. [06:42] yep. [06:42] nti [06:42] how do i copy an entire folder with CLI? [06:42] i knew you'd like that better. [06:42] restarting network gives an error: /etc/network/interfaces unknown address type... where can I read a list of allowable types? [06:42] into the folder i am presently in [06:42] shawn: cp -R [06:42] ultra recrusive [06:42] joshrl: what's that? [06:42] I'll have to get used to it though, because it keeps focusing out. [06:42] shawn: cp -R /home/moo . [06:42] ah [06:42] elik: I'm using Seamless Mode. [06:42] KM0201, Not yet.

[06:54] fine [06:54] TornadoChas3r: very long shot [06:54] fizy[laptop]: it's an mp3 player and more. if you are runing 10.10 you can simply do a: sudo apt-get install guayadeque [06:54] KM0201, And I spoke too soon... [06:54] lol [06:54] well it asks me to do apt-get -f install [06:54] ao i like using audacious. it is EXACTLY like winamp.

I use Rhythmbox [06:54] bluel im running 10.04. does guayadeque work with ipods? [06:54] TornadoChas3r: sounds like some sort of lock I would do what it asks? [06:55] fizy[laptop]: dunno I don't own anything made by apple [06:55] is there a way, short of copy and paste, I can backup the entire content through ubuntu?

[06:55] lickalott: are you trying to recover the installed ubuntu or? [06:55] <_jesse_> lickalott: back up the windows data you mean? [06:55] I did, it trys to install the update again, which is what i need it to do, only problem is when it trys to install it cant becuase it claims there is no space lef ton the drive [06:55] lickalott, yes. launch nautilus you can use it to mount your windows partitons and copy and paste your windows files to where ever you want. [06:55] do i need the .Trash-1000 folder? [06:55] but when i check the drive has about 19gb free [06:55] @lickalott try sback - you can get it from repositories [06:56] elik: sounds like am monitor issue like it cant resume from black screen/blank screen, someone may have a fix if you can find xorg.conf [06:56] *sbackup* [06:56] xcthulhu: what happened to it? [06:56] TornadoChas3r: packagemangers can do weird things, sounds like a lock [06:56] yes _jesse_ trying to get all my windows stuff w/o copy and paste [06:56] ? [06:56] Well my main probelm is the hard drive space, even before i ran the updtae it started [06:56] sta7ic, this is a good webpage for blank screen problems. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen [06:56] tks 60696. i'll try that [06:56] sta7ic: that pipe thing sounded promising... [06:56] do i need that folder [06:56] * lickalott goes to repositories [06:56] things were not writing to the disk, i just made everything worse by running the update [06:57] elik had blank screen problems. and he found that page is good. [06:57] lickalott: you could use rsync [06:57] i still dont get it [06:57] KM0201, Froze X for a minute, didn't connect, now asking me for my password again [06:57] rsync? talk to me [06:57] TornadoChas3r: ok...ah check 'mount' maybe its in read only [06:57] xcthulhu: thats strange [06:57] lickalott, do you want to keep using windows? or switch to linux? [06:57] should i delete .Trash-1000? [06:57] lickalott: rsync is a utility that will make a logical backup [06:58] TornadoChas3r: is the filesystem in read write or read only also, what does /var/log/messages have to say? [06:58] KM0201, Well, I'm running kernel version 2.6.37 so I might go downgrade [06:58] want to restore the windows rig. [06:58] shawn: it's a trash folder. it's where stuff you move to trash in Nautilus goes. if you don't want it, delete it. [06:58] The BCM driver page lists my card as "partially supported" [06:58] ah thanky ou [06:58] thiefy: thanks, elik did you see theify's link [06:58] *thank you [06:58] why did you go to 2.6.37 [06:58] lickalott: ahh rsync prolly not best candidate for that- copy/paste [06:58] i have a dedicated computer that dual boots backtrack and ubuntu. i had to build a usb drive real quick for this [06:58] rsync why not scp [06:58] sta7ic: yeah, I think it was a circular reference :D [06:58] KM0201, BCM driver page said it has a FOSS driver for this card [06:58] Is anyone using the XChat client right now? [06:58] tried that before you pointed me in the right direction [06:58] xcthulhu: thats the STA driver [06:59] Irssi 0.8.15 (20100403) - http://irssi.org/ [06:59] lickalott, then forget rsync or back up programs. use the file manager program (like windows explorer) click on your windows hard drive to mount it. and then you can see all the files and just copy and paste them to whereever you want. very simle. [06:59] is there somewhere a tutorial on how to congiure custom menu entries in grub2? [06:59] *sigh [06:59] sta7ic: I just pointed him to that page :D But I'm having a hard time implementing the solution [06:59] sta7ic: i guess you could scp to the same computer, why not?

[06:59] * lickalott goes to drag and drop [06:59] lickalott, yeah, dead simple. [06:59] .. [07:00] say all you have is irc and a command line, how do you find stuff [07:00] lickalott, they thought you wanted to keep that winders install. you don't. you want to take the files off it. not back them up to linux. [07:00] matt__: lynx [07:00] KM0201, I'll go back to the regular kernel, and then I'll go try making a wifi network without a pass phrase...

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [07:10] <_jesse_> danjosh: probably a web server misconfiguration, ask your respective channel [07:10] ah ok [07:10] Aha.. So fsck is only good when checking unmounted fsś? [07:10] Sincide: --force -y probably since it will auto clean bad sectors or possibly he wants you to not run it on mounted filesystems [07:10] glaceman, where are you installing the VMware user agent?

[07:13] so i went on google, typed in : virtualbox, and im download a .deb from the original website [07:13] glaceman: same thing really, you do not have enough ram to run two OS's [07:13] KM0201: 2 GB ram [07:13] should be enough ? [07:13] thiefy: ok if i reboot its because i got stuck in vbox [07:13] glaceman: oh ok.. i thought you only had 512mb [07:13] sta7ic, yeah, i have both checkboxes in there checked. [07:13] Sincide: Correct. If you try to do it anyway: "WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Do you really want to continue (y/n)?". If you give an answer other than "n", you're giving the wrong answer. [07:13] thiefy: ive tried multiple configs...can you tell me what you have checked off under usb [07:13] glaceman: use virtualbox, its way better/easier than vmware [07:13] ok thanks [07:14] sta7ic, yeah, i have both checkboxes in there checked. and nothing in the 'filters' area. it's blank. [07:14] ok brb [07:14] rww: correct you should NEVER run e2fsck on a mounted fs -- disaster will ensure [07:14] ^ what I just said [07:14] rww Thanks :) [07:14] rww: indeed [07:14] Blue1, unless it is your ex-girlfriends mounted fs. then it's a good thing. [07:14] thiefy: :-) [07:14] Why do not see any results for "tidy" in searching in Ubuntu Software Center? I see 27 with "apt-cache search tidy"? Are these processes not the same? [07:14] yuler: no, they're not [07:15] how do i get out of underscoreland [07:15] thiefy: or a cron job [07:15] if theres IO on the dev you may be able to fsck it? i dont know [07:16] problem with usb Adsl modem. anyone please provide step by step instructions. modem model is beetel 100 cx [07:16] Blue1, she gave me good cron jobs. [07:16] matt__: underscore land? /nick newnick [07:16] thiefy: enough of that, please :\ === matt__ is now known as kingofthelosers [07:16] rawr [07:16] wow adsl modem? i remember dealing with that in 2000 [07:17] what was the script homegrown we used back then =/ [07:17] ok now whats a one liner to get the attention of all the hot chicks [07:17] kingofthelosers: FTW [07:17] rww: ah, apt-cache is used by synaptic. Silly moi. [07:17] yuler: actually, I think synaptic has its own thing too, but searches the same fields as apt-cache [07:17] if you had 30gb hdd with P3 1gb ram (laptop for hibernation) how much would you allocate for "/" "swap" and "home" - planning on installing Lubuntu - for now i was going to keep 2gb for swap / can't decide on the home vs / sizes - this will be a single boot OS laptop. also was planning on using ext4 filesystem *very new to linux / 1st time install [07:18] kingofthelosers, if that is what you want to find. this channel is prob the wrong place to look for that. [07:18] wow this card reader sucks [07:18] this is 2011. if youre swapping to disk youre doing something wrong [07:18] kingofthelosers: /msg ubottu !pickup is useful. [07:18] theres no good place to look for it [07:18] sirscrubsalot, i would do 7 gigs for / and one gig for swap and the rest as your /home === Guest98978 is now known as onre [07:19] sirscrubsalot: the general rule for swap is you double the RAM size but i think that rule is getting a little outdated [07:19] run atop, if you hit swap, go to frys [07:19] kingofthelosers - like i said, it's an old machine - we're not all privy to high end equipment === awk is now known as Guest72926 [07:19] this is 2011. toilet paper is more expensive than ram [07:20] it costs me 2 gigs every time i wipe my butt [07:20] ubottu:!in [07:20] #ubuntu-in is the channel for Ubuntu in India [07:20] right kingofthelosers, just budgeting for now - i only have a year left of med school / then i can worry about getting something better perhaps... [07:21] sirscrubsalot, i would do 7 gigs for / and one gig for swap and the rest as your /home [07:21] med school? you will be replaced by a very small robot. [07:21] !ot [07:21] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:22] i havent used irc in about a decade. how do you find the cool channels [07:22] came across another thread, somone who had the same problem - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1071572 [07:22] thiefy - yeah thanks for the input - i was reading though if you plan on using the laptop for hibernation, that swap needs to be doubled, then again - i've seen most suggestions from google search saying 1gb should be sufficient / mainly using this rig for firefox and openoffice and some vlc digital playback [07:22] TornadoChas3r: run 'mount' and verify fs isnt read only [07:22] i will look at post [07:22] kingofthelosers: 1) This is an open source software network, not a general chat network. 2) Once again, #ubuntu is for Ubuntu linux technical support. Go ask #ubuntu-offtopic about "cool channels" or whatever. [07:23] I can write files to the disk and remove them so its writable, but not i cant do any updates without getting an disk full error [07:23] ok so how do i get my sound card to not sound like shit [07:24] TornadoChas3r: sudo dpkg --clear-avail [07:24] did that work for you? [07:24] tried it [07:24] it did something, but i cant run updates on anything [07:24] I think you are reading too much into the full filesystem, it looks like .deb is corrupted [07:24] theres got to be a way to clear that crap out [07:25] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata_2009b-1_all.deb (--unpack): unable to create `./usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Menominee': No space left on device [07:25] i can even remove that package without getting the disk full error [07:25] HEllo wondering.... is there an app for Ubuntu (in repositories) that'll make turn my computer's interface into a AIUI instead of GUI -- like Rommie from TV Episode Andromeda [07:26] its like tzdata.deb is corrupt and cannot unpack and thats the default error msg or something [07:26] this has to be the most boring chat room evar [07:26] TornadoChas3r: what about unmounting and running fsck -y just for the he@# of it [07:26] youd had to live CD or something [07:26] kingofthelosers: Your insistance on being offtopic in a support channel bores me. Stop it. [07:27] its spelled insistence [07:27] from my understanding about the /home directory - it's where your personal files (i.e. documents/pictures/videos/music albums) would go right? anything else that defualts to there? [07:27] sorry [07:27] This is a support channel, not your personal entertainment room - fshh === big_t_ is now known as big_t [07:27] Im on a live CD at the moment [07:28] i would like some support in finding the personal entertainment rooms, what channel do i need to join [07:28] People here, like me, are look for serious help - I want app for Artifical Intelligence [07:28] Guest60696: As far as I'm aware, there isn't one. [07:28] i just took some advice from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157250 and thought id give it a shot maybe i could fix that failed update it did [07:28] FIXED IT!!!! [07:28] Of all things it was the freaking date! I changed the date and it ran like a dream. [07:29] thats a post from someone else [07:29] TornadoChas3r: [07:29] looks like someone fixed the date and stopped failing with a simular error [07:30] hey guys. i just installed wine and applied a program-specific patch to it. now whenever i try to load a program in wine it loads and nothing happens. i'm a total noob, is there some way to test that wine is working correctly? [07:30] There could be AI already built in to Ubuntu; logging everything you type and search - and you'd never know [07:30] as a side note, i'm trying to get subspace continuum to work and i had to apply a specific subspace patch to the wine kernel [07:30] Guest60696: Ubuntu is open source, so... yes. We would. [07:31] hah. soo true rrw. [07:31] who has a ben nanote? [07:31] Have you personally been through all Linux source-code - I don't think so :p [07:31] user: run wine command line to see if it gives you exit error codes? [07:31] Guest60696: no, but people I trust have [07:32] And everything is open-source, nothing is compiled? :p [07:32] sta7ic: "segmentation fault" is the error i'm given [07:32] Guest60696: additionally, I've run traffic sniffing against Ubuntu boxes, and they don't send anything problematic by themselves [07:32] user: verify you can get another exe working via cmd line and its not a DISPLAY:0 issue, like notepad.exe [07:33] if notepad comes up, but your other app seg faults with no error...hmmm [07:33] sta7ic: just "wine notepad.exe"?? [07:33] sta7ic: if so, i get the same segmentation fault [07:33] ((first time using wine)) [07:34] user: how are you launching it? putty? ubuntu console? xterm? [07:34] using terminal [07:34] can anybody tell me quickly how go into symlinks using tar ? [07:34] which user? [07:34] otherwise i have been right clicking the exe and loading in wine [07:34] if you want to know what the error outputs when i try to install or remove the failed package [07:34] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ghJfzFYH [07:34] gnome terminal, i think? normal terminal, y'know [07:34] fratzbc: -h [07:35] smonsarr: thansk! [07:35] user: your not su'd are you just standard user? get notepad working first then move to the second app [07:35] I have Lua installed on my computer, but when i try to #include "lua.h" it fails. Why's that? [07:35] hello , I am using ubuntu 9.10 . I am getting login failure as [07:36] TornadoChas3r: doh, it looks like some system files got corrupted /dev/pts not mounted [07:36] mount of file system failed.

Is there any recovery ? [07:38] user: when you opened gnome-terminal, did you su or just run it right then and there [07:38] su is short for sudo? [07:39] sudo is long for super user do [07:39] !su > user [07:39] user, please see my private message [07:40] understood. so "su" is short for "sudo" in this case i take it [07:40] TornadoChas3r: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-656737.html [07:40] user: nope [07:40] user: su - switch user [07:40] oh i see [07:41] sunit: I would boot from a Live CD and see if the HD partitions are accessible [07:41] aurilliance, do you have liblua5.x.x-dev installed as well? [07:41] user: basically if you termnial in and then 'su' and then run a command line wine which spits GUI ti DISPLAY:0 it wont know where to go, so you want to make sure you dont have any of that going on [07:41] smonsarr : then what shall I do / [07:42] sazhen86, do now - I'll try again. [07:42] smonsarr : then ? [07:42] sta7ic: running "su -username; wine notepad.exe" returns "su: invalid option - - 'u'... etc etc "segmentation fault" [07:42] how do i clear CLI? [07:42] user: its [07:43] Hi pupil, good after noon [07:43] shawn: clear [07:43] oh lol [07:43] anyone tried evolution with exchange 2007 ? [07:43] aaaaah. sta7ic i had a very heated arguement with a guy on here once about what su stood for. he was calling me a moron for saying it was substite user or suppose user. he said it was super user. (that was like a year ago) so i was right all along! yay. [07:44] apologies.. i ran the "-username" in stead of "- username".. now completing that command seems to do nothing [07:44] user: its 'su - user' with the space, the - means it brings over the env of that user. in this case tho i dont think thats going to work anyway, do this instead, open a new gnome-terminal and first cmd you run is 'wine notepad.exe' make sure thats the correct syntax, i dont have wine installed [07:44] let me install wine, brb [07:44] you're very kind, thank you [07:44] Hi, im having issues getting S/PDIF working under ubuntu. [07:45] shawn: clear [07:45] wine notepad.exe does work. [07:45] thiefy: thanks [07:45] new terminal. "wine notepad.exe" returns "segmentation error" [07:45] sunit: looks like you may have a HD pb. So I would boot from a Live CD, use Gparted to see if the partitions on you HD are still visible, if so attempt to mount the one thta has your /home and make a bacpup of you data to a USB drive. [07:45] got this error again, this happend the first time when i was still in ubuntu [07:45] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/bW7VxkGr [07:45] anyone with evolution and exchange 2007 ?

[07:47] user: what was that not owned by you error sounds like a permisson thing, try this 'su root' then try 'wine notepad.exe' [07:47] smonsarr : ok. I can recover data. Do you think I have to format the machine ? ubuntu not recoverable ? [07:47] jerem, fire away with your question [07:47] user: 'su root' ; echo $DISPLAY ; then wine notepad.exe [07:47] TornadoChas3r: check you disk free space [07:47] it's giving me an authentication failure, but i know my password is correct.... weird [07:48] do you fall asleep easily?

[07:52] yep [07:52] i dont know if there is a away to sync repository and force install all packages [07:52] thats the same thing i was thinkin [07:52] my mouse is a USB one [07:52] TornadoChas3r: seems like the proper apt-get force-sync command would help if you know someone really good with apt-get [07:52] when in the Live CD, open a terminal and do a fsck /dev/xxx, where xxx is the file-system to check, If Gpartrd could see youe hard-drive you can find out the correct name there, probably something like /dev/sda1, but depends on your hardware and how Ubuntu was installed. [07:53] jerem, try unplugging the mouse and plugging back it when you get to the purple screen [07:53] sta7ic: as su, continuing to get Segmentation fault.... [07:53] new app for your mobile at http://wap.mxit.com [07:53] user: its not that... i just did 'apt-get install wine' [07:53] sazhen86 > ok I try it [07:53] incidently, does anyone know how to change the name of the box? [07:54] then did opened terminal as me and not root and did 'wine notepad.exe' [07:54] sta7ic: ok, i anxiously await the outcome. thank you.

[07:55] user: try this, create a fresh user, reboot, login as that user and run 'wine notepad.exe' [07:55] ok good idea thanks [07:55] Ascavasaion, that should be good enough. [07:55] hey how do i format agian [07:55] *again [07:55] shawn: fdisk and mkfs [07:55] jerem, no guarantees, but I've seen it work in the past [07:56] ah [07:56] sazhen86 > it don't change anything, same screen [07:56] hmm weird [07:56] does anyone know if you can change the original name you gave your box? [07:56] i just notcied something [07:56] jerem, keyboard still not working [07:56] noticed* [07:56] sazhen86 > last message concern CUPS boot [07:56] TornadoChas3r: kernel error its like the update was half way through and aborted, what happens if you boot into an older kernel or recovery? [07:56] so mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc2? [07:56] sazhen86, yes, no keyboard... [07:56] shawn: should work, make sure its the right device [07:56] thiefy: It does it with other hard disks as well. Another thing... the CD played even when there was no audio cable connected between the CDROM and the sound card. [07:56] user: /etc/hostnme & /etc/hosts [07:57] thans smonsarr [07:57] weird i cant write any files to the disk anymore, before i could make a text file [07:57] that's /etc/hostname [07:57] now it returns no space on disk [07:57] and reboot [07:57] TornadoChas3r: kernel error its like the update was half way through and aborted, what happens if you boot into an older kernel or recovery? [07:58] Ascavasaion, that audio cable is obsolete. you can rip it out and never plug it in. when the cdrom reads the music, it digitizes it so that cable was for analog audio which you don't need. [07:58] Ascavasaion, does it do this will any cd you put in there? [07:58] also out of curiosity what does 'mount' show, read only? [07:58] jerem, is the purple screen and X11 screen? [07:58] im positive its not a space issue [07:59] thiefy: YEs. [07:59] /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0) [07:59] yeah the cable going from MB to CDROM = worthless [07:59] sazhen86, it's same backgournd as login scree, but nothing inside exept arrow of mouse [07:59] sazhen86, and it's before installing anything [08:00] jerem, it's off the live cd? [08:01] TornadoChas3r: how about recovery or different kernel, i think that update jacked everyhing d0h [08:01] sazhen86, what do you mean by off live cd ? [08:02] you hold the left shift to get into the recovery mode correct? [08:02] Ascavasaion, could be that that cdrom drive is toast. try ripping the music to your hard ddrive and then playing some songs, see how they play then. [08:02] TornadoChas3r: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5133/how-to-recover-dpkg-from-corrupted-downloads [08:02] TornadoChas3r, correct. [08:02] TornadoChas3r: have you trid that link yet? [08:03] jerem, did you boot the PC from a live CD and select the try ubuntu on this computer option? [08:03] not yet, trying recovery mode atm [08:03] its not very helpful, grrr ill keep looking [08:03] sazhen86, oh no I select install Ubuntu [08:03] its the apt-get clean or something [08:03] sazhen86, so it's off live CD [08:03] sazhen86, it's ok, you can cancel the install. [08:04] probably is, i think it may have corrupted system files, if thats the case, im not sure a recovery kernel will even help, but you can try [08:04] sta7ic: samep roblem with new "guest" account. [08:04] sta7ic: i think you're right, it's something to do with priviledges [08:04] for some reason it thinks wine is not owned by me [08:04] user: try loginng into X windows with root [08:04] how? [08:05] user: you may have to add your userid into /etc/group or something under wine, but try root first [08:05] hmm, logout? [08:05] what OS are you running [08:05] what distro, version [08:05] * Blue1 wishes for a donut operating system [08:05] the latest destop version [08:06] jerem, I'm running out of ideas, but can you check the legacy USB support option in the BIOS? Sometimes disabling it helps PS/2 to work [08:06] yep, but I'm booting from USB [08:06] humm I tried to launch Ubuntu on live USB, and same problem occured [08:07] jerem, does the legacy USB support BIOS option prevent you from booting from USB? [08:07] jerem, also, to confirm that it's an X issue, does booting to text mode work? [08:08] sazhen86, how can I boot in text mode ? [08:08] is there a way to adjust/customize the snap-to threshold for window edge resizing and/or split panes of a window? [08:08] sazhen86, it's a great idea, I want to try it :-) [08:08] jerem: change the default runlevel init [08:09] user [08:09] back [08:09] sorry [08:09] Does anyone know how to get a 32bit app requiring 'libgstreamer' to work on a 64bit Ubuntu? I get no crashes, but no sound either [08:09] try this...i just confirmed it worked for...user [08:09] jerem, or boot with the -s option [08:09] yes? [08:09] are there powerpoint alternatives to openoffice impress that work pretty well? i've tried google's online presentation too but not so convinced if there's another alternative [08:09] 1.) open terminal [08:10] 2.) su - root [08:10] thiefy: thanks man, will do :) [08:10] ok I try it [08:10] 3. DISPLAY=:0.0;export DISPLAY [08:10] 4.) wine notepad.exe [08:10] it's running [08:10] returns "segmentation fault" [08:10] haha [08:11] nope [08:11] re install wine, or you system is jacked with user problems [08:11] after, the same screen apear [08:11] i only just installed ubuntu so it must need a reinstall [08:11] with mouse [08:11] and no keyboard [08:11] jerem, what did you change?

[08:13] it seems ubuntu is acting up [08:13] because xchat hates u [08:13] agris, on the router make sure to allow UDP to be pushed through port 1723 - not tcp [08:14] thiefy, ok i'll try, thanks [08:14] * tehbaut is also using xchat... no hatin going on here [08:14] smuxi is your new irc overlord [08:14] covert or perish [08:14] just people who don't know the answer to my questions, or just too lazy to help out :P [08:14] sazhen86, nothing new disabling it [08:14] how to solve the problem with package dependecies [08:15] tehbaut: no idea, only been using ubuntu for 2 weeks now, but loving it. [08:15] guys my problem is not yet solved. Please help somebody. I have no OS installed on my system and when i am running ubuntu live CD and checking gnome partition manager its not showing my harddisk showing just USB which is attached to my computer. Please help guys. [08:15] earwigs, whats the big diff between that and xchat? [08:15] earwigs, really? welcome to the fun :D [08:15] thiefy: i think smuxi is less user friendly. [08:15] I have an old computer here... No idea what is in it as it will not switch on at all. the motherbaord has no identifying names/numbers but thee is one little orange/gold heatsink in the middle with T-Bird AMD-K7 on it. How do I figure out who manufactured the motherboard and thus get a manual for it? [08:15] thiefy: its more 'no frills' and lightweight [08:15] i'm getting werid stuff on apt-get now. when i type "sudo apt-get install wine" i get returned: "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)" [08:15] guys my problem is not yet solved. Please help somebody. I have no OS installed on my system and when i am running ubuntu live CD and checking gnome partition manager its not showing my harddisk showing just USB which is attached to my computer. Please help guys. [08:15] why I cannot install vlc in Ubuntu through SC but showing package dependencies could not resolved [08:16] there is a bunch of messages, before but I can't figure if there is something critical inside [08:16] nikhilax, make sure the data cable / power cable is still plugged into that hard drive. [08:16] fast mirror plugin for ubuntu server / no gui.. what is the process? [08:16] earwigs, i thought xchat was no frills and light weight. least compared to mirc it is. [08:16] and "Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" [08:16] thiefy: it may be, but pretty sure sumxi is more lightweight [08:16] thiefy: its my hard disk which is not showing up.. [08:16] user - yes. it is. close synaptic and / or the update manager. [08:16] thiefy: install it through software center and find out [08:17] thanks thiefy [08:17] so I am leaving,why staying if nobody give a hand? [08:17] earwigs, i think i'll have to try that then. i like nofrills and light weight. [08:17] so know one knows why, whenever I install something, I keep running into the following errors?: Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic linux-image-2.6.35-24-generic linux-image-generic linux-generic [08:17] thiefy: when i run gparted live CD it shows my harddisk unallocated and i allocate it as fat32 half and rest half as ext2,3,4 [08:17] still not showing in ubuntu [08:18] whats the prioblem i am not able to install ubuntu please help [08:18] thiefy: "Smuxi is an irssi-inspired, flexible, user-friendly and cross-platform IRC client for sophisticated users, targeting the GNOME desktop." - http://www.smuxi.org/page/About [08:18] nikhilax: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?

[08:23] Yes [08:23] tehbaut, yes. i think you will find your answer on this page: http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/~cochoa/wiki/index.php/Compiz [08:23] jordan_U: using /dev/sdb/ (parted) [08:23] Laggg: your dhcp server should give dns-servers automatically [08:23] jerem, I've only ever used CDs. Do you get a boot menu? [08:23] Laggg, use 208.67.222.222 it is opendns [08:23] Laggg: if not, use ones that are from your operator or some public available, like 8.8.8.8 [08:24] jordan_U: help friend [08:24] Should I choose manual? [08:24] gobbe that is good if you want google logging every dns request you do. [08:24] thiefy, gotcha thanks! [08:24] Laggg, i do use manual. [08:24] Or dhcp addresses only? [08:24] gobbe: need you support again [08:24] yes I had the boot menu [08:24] nikhilax: "-l" is a valid option. Are you sure that you typed exactly "sudo parted -l", nothing more and nothing less? [08:24] sazhen86, I tryed several options [08:24] Laggg: use "DHCP addresses only" or w/e it is, not manual. [08:25] sazhen86 but nothing new [08:25] hi, my volume control applet is the incorrect colour and appearance. I just reinstalled pulseaudio but the applet has remained the same appearance as with alsa. Does anyone know how to get the correct volume control applet working?

[08:26] 6.06 :P [08:26] thiefy: I get "volume-control-applet: command not found" [08:26] 6.06? holy that is old. [08:26] nikhilax: Why are you using 6.06? [08:26] hi can anyone help me i want to connect my laptop with another laptop having windows seven i m having ubuntu [08:26] would it be a bad thing to remove a sata drive while ubuntu is still running? [08:26] !6.06 [08:26] Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support will end in June 2011.

[08:27] nikhilax: did you get your partition table figured out? [08:27] kachingo, sorry. it's this: gnome-volume-control-applet [08:28] mayank: just set up the windows box sharing options and ubuntu should just detect it via the networking folder and work [08:28] Laggg, why do you feel you need to screw with dns servers? [08:28] KM0201: No... :( now i dont want that i just want to install ubuntun again [08:28] Thays what fixed the problem on win7 [08:28] Km0201 : can u help [08:28] wanted: script help. See http://pastebin.com/NmT9GBBp [08:28] I thought it'd be the same with ubuntu [08:28] nikhilax: help you reinstall ubuntu?.. yeah,... what do you need help with? [08:28] mayank: ive been able to connect to my vista machine and external networked HDD without any need for manual installations of stuff [08:29] Laggg, i would use a static ip. there is no need for DHCP on a home computer. [08:29] thiefy: yes, like i told him to use operators one or something else [08:29] theify: excellent, it works! I assume I need to add that to the startup applications to start each time? [08:29] km0201:coz when i am running ubuntu live USB its doest shows up my hard disk [08:29] thiefy: i don't care if google sees my dns queries :) [08:29] km0201: some thing went wrong [08:29] nikhilax: what kind of problem [08:29] Laggg, in the terminal type ifconfig tell me your internal ip address. [08:29] nikhilax: Ok. What options do you have for bootable media? Do you still have any type of install (whether detected by gparted or not) on the hard drive or have you reformatted over it? [08:30] gobbe, my hard disk not showing up [08:30] nikhilax: what do you mean it "doesn't see your hard drive"... iirc, it doesnt have any partitions on it, so thats not entirely surprising [08:30] kachingo, that is what i had to do. go to system - preferences and then start up apps. add a new one in there for that command. [08:30] nikhilax: what is your sata-controllers model and make? [08:30] thiefy: inet addr:? [08:30] gobbe, i am not sure. how to check? [08:30] gobbe, i feel google knows enough on me. they don't need to log every site i visit. [08:30] Laggg, not your inet one, your 192 one. [08:31] Laggg, do you have a router that you are connected to? [08:31] thiefy: yep. but to be honest, i use something else, but for testing purpose it's ok to use something that is easy to rememer, like googles ;) [08:31] nikhilax, reboot that computer. does the bios even see that hard drive? if it doesn't that is bad news. [08:31] Nope, just the modem [08:31] Jordan_U : No OS installed when i checked with live gparted its showng my complete Harddisk as unallocated coz my partiton tables got damages so i allocated it agaain [08:31] I don't see a 192 address [08:31] gobbe, yeah, i just memorized open dns's .... [08:32] Laggg, no prob. you dont have a 192 address.... [08:32] thiefy: yes Bios showing up [08:32] sazhen86, well I don't see anything, may be give up for the moment, thank you a lot to tried that with me [08:32] thiefy: i should too, but my brains have limited capacity, old model you know ;) [08:32] Update Manager this morning reported: "Package lists are being loaded." What are the filenames of these lists? [08:32] jerem, also see Bug #106289 on launchpad [08:32] nikhilax: Is there any data that you would like to recover if it were possible?

[08:32] Gobbe: yes i did through gparted [08:32] nikhilax: Ok, and what options do you have for bootable media? [08:33] nikhilax: and you are not able to install there? [08:33] nikhilax: or? [08:33] jordan_U: options as in? [08:33] nikhilax, if you type sudo fdisk -l do you not see it in there? pastebin us what you see when you do that command. [08:33] gobbe: no am not able to install [08:33] thiefy: would it be 192.168.1.254? [08:33] nikhilax: like i asked you yesterday to do sudo fdisk -l [08:33] nikhilax: You have at least Ubuntu 6.06 and some version of a GParted LiveCD. What else do you have? [08:33] nikhilax: and that's what thiefy also asked now [08:33] Laggg, it might. try in the terminal typing ping 192.168.1.1 [08:34] thiefy: fdisk shwing only my USB pendrive attached [08:34] show us!!!!!!!!!

[08:40] thiefy: http://pastie.org/1455495 [08:40] !samba | mayank: [08:40] mayank:: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Have you tried connecting to the internet with the GParted LiveCD? It's much more likely to support your wireless card than Ubuntu 6.06 (and then you can use pastebin). [08:41] sazhen86, it don't solve my problem [08:41] Does anyone know of any circuit analysis software that has a spectrum analyzer in it for ubuntu? [08:41] yeah i installed samba now what the next step [08:41] jerem, now that is odd [08:41] Jordan_U can we connect to internet through GParted live.. their is no browser i think [08:42] sazhen86, at least it's not keyboard problem [08:42] Laggg, is that modem one of those stupid modem/router combo devices? [08:43] jerem. it doesn't look like it. [08:43] nope, just a modem [08:43] is there is any way i can see which application is using internet? [08:43] and it was working fine earlier on here [08:43] jordan_U, what can i do? [08:43] I just shut down the pc and booted back up after a while [08:43] quit [08:43] it wasnt working on Win7 either, but I changed the DNS and that fixed it [08:43] jerem, does the purple screen display anything or is just blank and purple? [08:43] err, sorry for that [08:43] nikhilax: Do you have a USB drive? [08:43] yes i have [08:43] Laggg, do you see a lil network icon by your clock? [08:44] Yes. [08:44] jordan_u , yes i have [08:44] But it is disconnected [08:44] sazhen86: it's purple screen, like login screen, but with nothing than white mouse cursor on it [08:44] when installing how do you guys usually set it up? :/ one partition for /, another for /home, and another for /boot ? :D [08:44] nikhilax: Can you use your working computer to create an Ubuntu 10.10 LiveUSB? [08:44] right click on it, go to edit connections. under wired (i'm assuming you aren't using wireless.) click on auto eth0 and then click on the edit button. [08:44] Laggg, that was to you. [08:45] ok. [08:45] Im there. [08:45] dsdeiz: /boot only if you really need it [08:45] mayank: share folders on Windows, browse in Ubuntu from Places > network [08:45] dsdeiz: Unless you have an explicit reason to do otherwise, it's simplest to keep everything (except maybe swap) in one partition. [08:45] jerem, can you get to a console by pressing alt-f1? [08:45] Jordan_U i can do that but problem will not solve a s its not showing up my hardsk [08:45] jerem, I think that's the right keys [08:45] Update Manager this morning reported: "Package lists are being loaded." What are the filenames of these lists? [08:45] thiefy: I'm there. [08:45] oh ok. cool. thanks! === zipperhead is now known as LanoX [08:46] some application is using internet [08:46] Laggg, go to the ipv4 settings tab. if you set it to manual - not automatci dhcp, then you can edit down below where it says dns servers. in there type 208.67.222.222 [08:46] Laggg, and see if now it'lll work good for you. [08:46] i want to know which application is using internet and what file it is downloading [08:46] ? [08:46] nikhilax: But it will probably allow you to connect to the internet, and there is no sense in installing Ubuntu 6.06 so you'll probably want a 10.10 LiveCD/USB anyway. [08:46] boot, netstat -abn [08:46] sazhen86, nope, exactly like I have no keyboard [08:46] Äîáðîãî âðåìåíè ñóòîê. À ìîæíî òàê íà áóäóùåå ñïðîñèòü, òóò íà ðóññêîì ëþäè îáùàþòñÿ? [08:46] boot: /boot refers to a directory, not to you :) [08:47] jordan_U, Yes you are right . [08:47] jerem, maybe someone relplaced your keyboard with a photo of your old keyboard. [08:47] Jordan_U , i am doing that. downloading 10.10 it will take 3-4 hrs [08:47] !netstat boot [08:47] jerem, in that case, can we add -s to the boot command line to boot up in a console? [08:47] thiefy: it is not showing the full location of file [08:48] jordan_U why this problem is occuring any guesses? [08:48] sazhen86, haha ! yes something like that ! [08:48] then type locate filename [08:48] jerem, hit F6 at the boot menu, then ESC and add -s to the end of the line [08:48] what's the recommended size for a swap partition? [08:48] thiefy: it wont let me click apply [08:48] i want some software like sniffing [08:48] Laggg, crap. i was afraid of that. [08:48] nikhilax: My guess is that your partition table is somehow invalid, the most common problem is overlapping partitions. [08:48] bullgard4 see your update history in ubuntu software center [08:48] Addresses is blank but DNS has that thing 208. in it [08:48] Hey, when i try to fullscreen youtube, crashses my flashplugin [08:48] bullgard4, see your update history in ubuntu software center [08:49] sazhen86, I already test it, it skip first part and I have a black screen with all logs, but after I land on this awfull purple screen [08:49] Jordan_U: thats quite possible, he had a mess w/ partitions/lost data earlier that he was tryign tof igure out.. no telling what he's done while tryign to fix it [08:49] Laggg, put it back to auto dhcp mode then and close that window. [08:49] jerem, even with -s? [08:49] Do you guys know if freespire is still around? [08:49] ok [08:49] sazhen86, yes [08:49] Jordan_U, oh ya may be.. SHould i make it again usning gparted? coz my data is not imp. so i think its not a problem playing with partitions [08:49] ? [08:49] sazhen86, humm may be there is a more verbose mode ? [08:49] nikhilax: Since you're presumeably going to allow the Ubuntu installer to repartition the drive anyay, and you have no data worth keeping, I wouldn't really worry about it as long as it doesn't prevent you from installing. [08:50] ok thiefy, now what? :P [08:50] dsdeiz: are you going to use hibernation? if yes, swap has to be 1.5xRAM, else 1GB would be fine [08:50] Laggg, i think this'll work for you. type gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf and then in there it should say nameserver 208.67.222.222 [08:50] anyone with evolution and exchange 2007 ? [08:50] what are these numbers in my ifconfig output? Maybe I should try using some of those? [08:50] duron23, yes. it works. (crappily) [08:51] jerem, here's the Ubuntu page on boot options https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOpti [08:51] thiefy: how ? [08:51] thiefy: mapi ? [08:51] thiefy, it has a different address [08:51] Jordan_U when its not showing up the drive so how it can repartition? [08:51] Laggg, duron23 i had to use imap with mine. [08:51] 192.168.42.129 [08:52] Anyone know what tools can do this? http://pastebin.com/NmT9GBBp [08:52] Laggg, oooh, that is annoying. ok, leave that in there. but move it down a line or two and add what i said as the first one. [08:52] thiefy: calendar works ? [08:52] Anyone here well versed in mail utils? [08:52] duron23, nope. [08:52] hmm [08:52] should I type namserver before the address I put in? [08:53] nikhilax: Do I understand correctly that Ubuntu 6.06 isn't showing the drive at all, and the GParted LiveCD is showing the drive (but showing it as all unallocated space)? [08:53] duron23, i can send and receive mail, but i don't nthink it syncs properly. like if i look at the web way of seeing my mail, i think that my sent items do not show me the things i sent from evolution to people. [08:53] hi Does mailutils 2.1 work with Maildir? I tried all the options I could find via google and everytime I type mail, I still get no mail. Yet all other mail "clients" don't have this problem. [08:53] yuler, you may have to find or make a 'parser' program for that. [08:53] Laggg, yes. [08:53] HI, I get several segmentation faults, can anyone help me please? [08:53] jerem, Sorry, but I have to go to work now :-( Good luck. I'm sure there are other people here who can help [08:53] thiefy, save it? [08:53] thiefy: did you try mapi ? [08:53] Jordan_U, yes exactly but some time back i allocated all the disk space as half of it as FAT32 and some as ext2, 3, 4 [08:54] thiefy: http://jjesse.wordpress.com/2010/05/21/configure-evolution-to-to-access-ms-exchange-2007/ [08:54] Jodan_U , i also created partition table by usng the option in gparted to created partition tables [08:54] +i [08:54] Hi [08:54] sazhen86, thank you for your help :-) [08:55] HI [08:55] Laggg, yeah, it should look like this: http://pastie.org/1455525 [08:55] nikhilax: Ubuntu 6.06 is old, and the hardware support wasn't great even at the time it was released so I'm not surprised that it didn't detect your hard drive. [08:55] hi Does mailutils 2.1 work with Maildir? I tried all the options I could find via google and everytime I type mail, I still get no mail. Yet all other mail "clients" don't have this problem. [08:55] Hi friends keep up the good Job, i'm reading to learn more [08:55] can anyone tell me how to use sql injection in backtrack 4 [08:55] can anyone tell me how to use sql injection in backtrack 4 [08:55] can anyone tell me how to use sql injection in backtrack 4 [08:55] scriptwarlock: Do you mean the DEB program package software-center? How can I call your program "ubuntu software center"? [08:55] Rust3d: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:55] Alright. [08:55] duron23, no i didn't. should i? [08:55] And that should fix it, thiefy? [08:55] Laggg, i hope so. [08:55] Jordan_U , even puppy linux not showing up.. anyways i am downloading 10.10 [08:55] thiefy: not sure, actually it for my friend, he is new to ubuntu, he is cannada [08:55] I thought backtrack was off-topic here? [08:56] it is [08:56] jerem, my pleasure [08:56] jayne: it is [08:56] that's weird, when i try to partition like 150GB and 147GB, why does the remaining 3GB become unusable? :/ [08:56] jayne: well, flooding isn't allowed either, it sure didn't stop him though.. :) [08:56] bullgard4, what is your concern again? [08:56] thiefy: *he is in canada [08:56] duron23, i'm up there too. hmm, maybe i'll try that if it should work. [08:56] hi Does mailutils 2.1 work with Maildir? I tried all the options I could find via google and everytime I type mail, I still get no mail. Yet all other mail "clients" don't have this problem. [08:56] 150gb -> 147gb + 3gb.. the 3gb becomes unusuable [08:56] schultza: current efforts are directed at Bash and Python, but used neither. :) [08:56] duron23, maybe i know him then. we are all friendly here... [08:56] KM0201: I was trying to evaluate whether it was an accident, or intentional disruption [08:56] thiefy: plz let me know then [08:56] thiefy: :) he is from india, [08:57] jayne: evaluation complete: he was a troll [08:57] identify boazr shibug [08:57] nikhilax: I expect that Ubuntu 10.10, like the GParted LiveCD, will see the drive as existing and being all unnallocated space. Then you can choose the option to automatically partition using the whole drive and it will work fine. [08:57] :) [08:57] oooh. [08:57] scriptwarlock: "[09:48] bullgard4 see your update history in ubuntu software center" [08:57] yuler: it doesn't matter what scripting language it is written in, the word you are looking for is a parser. === boaz is now known as boazr [08:57] hi Does mailutils 2.1 work with Maildir? I tried all the options I could find via google and everytime I type mail, I still get no mail. Yet all other mail "clients" don't have this problem. [08:58] nikhilax, you don't need ubuntu 6.06 or gparted live cd to do this. you need only a 10.10 live cd. (it comes with gparted installed) [08:58] Jordan_U , should i make my disk unallocated again or should i make a new partition? which one FAT 32? NTFS? ext 2, 3, 4? [08:58] thiefy, it didn't work [08:58] thiefy, thanks.. [08:58] Laggg, reset the modem and then after it boots, type in sudo ifconfig eth0 down and then in about 7 seconds do sudo ifconfig etho up [08:58] nikhilax: Just let the Ubuntu installer do the partitioning. It doesn't really matter what you start with if you tell the installer to use the entire disk however it wants. [08:59] ok [08:59] nikhilax, to answer your question, choose ext4 [08:59] Ok...if the disk is unallocated ubuntu patition will manage? [08:59] nikhilax, right. [08:59] nikhilax, or you can just do it yourself... [09:00] bullgard4, Update Manager this morning reported: "Package lists are being loaded." What are the filenames of these lists?.. is this what your asking? [09:00] nikhilax: Yes, the Ubuntu installer's partitioner will manage. [09:00] nikhilax, least i think so... i've always clicked on the 'manual' way. [09:00] Theify: what kinda partition should we create? primary partition logical or extended? [09:00] nikhilax, primary [09:00] thiefy, ok [09:00] thiefy: im aways paranoid that the default swap space wont be enough and are too tempted to give it x2 what it probbably needs :/ so i just use the automatic installation [09:01] nikhilax, you are able to have 4 primary partitons on one hard drive. [09:01] moar swap [09:01] earwigs, double the ram size yeah, i'd say that is a good idea. [09:01] earwigs: yeah, thats the default [09:01] ops [09:01] i do not use 'hibernate' though. [09:01] thiefy: yeah [09:01] i have some boot message errors.. but i cant seem to find any entries in the /var/log/boot file 8/ were else should i be looking [09:02] jordan_u, i highly appreciate your support. I am new to irc. Heard that ppl are very help ful here but today saw that,.. great thiefy and you are very helpful. thanks ..hope my problem will be solved soon [09:02] for the last 18 years, i've felt hybernating a computer is a bad idea. [09:02] hi Does mailutils 2.1 work with Maildir? I tried all the options I could find via google and everytime I type mail, I still get no mail. Yet all other mail "clients" don't have this problem. [09:02] nikhilax: You're welcome. [09:02] nikhilax, thanks. what was it you did to get the installer to see the hard drive? [09:03] any good tutorial for ssh? [09:03] thiefy, installer not shown up yet. downloading ubuntu 10.10 [09:03] nikhilax, oooh. i feel it'll just work for you. least we hope so... [09:04] SuperPaco69: Generic SSH use or are you tunneling something through it? [09:04] thief: yeah..me too hoping [09:04] nikhilax, it's pretty hard to 'hide' a hard drive from gparted [09:04] nikhilax, that would be the world's sneakiest hard drive ever. [09:04] so I can connect to my server via ssh schultza [09:04] lol hahaha the invisible HDD hidden by malware [09:04] schultza, so I can install it and run int on both my ubuntu server and my ubuntu client [09:05] but there is no malware able to run when he has it mounted under linux. [09:06] thiefy, yeah i know thats just for fun [09:06] @SuperPaco69: I believe the command 'apt-get install sshd' or 'apt-get install ssh-server' will install it with a default created key for your system. [09:06] oh [09:06] SuperPaco69: "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" and thats it (basically) [09:06] Ah, openssh-server [09:06] thiefy, i called up my dell cust. care. they are saying to get your hard disk replaceed. :( [09:06] and -client respectively [09:06] SuperPaco69: after that, you should be able to ssh into that machine [09:06] would it be a problem if ubuntu's on a logical partition? [09:06] schultza, but I need a tutorial so I can run it correctly [09:06] schultza: openssh-client is installed by default [09:07] SuperPaco69: read "man sshd_config" [09:07] nikhilax, if gparted can get it's paws on that hd. i would say you are fine. although if the hard drive is failing, that is different. and maybe dell is correct. [09:07] superPaco69 what do you need to know there are some major tutorials all over google [09:07] @llutz_: Thanks. I didn't know that. [09:07] nikhilax: thats cuz they're morons [09:07] Cpt_Zyph, I saw several but are not very good [09:07] thiefy, gparted showing up.. [09:08] km0201, lol [09:08] and if they tell you to buy shit, they make money from you. so of course the dicks would say that... [09:08] nikhilax: serioiusly... a guy here the other day said HP was "useless helping him trouble shoot his wireless problem under ubuntu".... well gee, i could have told him that before he picked up the phone... i hope he didn't pay for that call [09:08] SuperPaco69 the default cfg is pretty much all you need other then some special settings you might want.. check the cfg file it has deffinitions of the default settings [09:09] thiefy, but gnome partition soft in ubuntu 6.06 is not showing. its quiet surpising for me [09:09] how many girls do you think are in here right now? i'd guess 2 out of the 1437 people. [09:09] so um, anyone? :D i probably need to install ubuntu on a logical system since it's the primary is all taken up by windows [09:09] dsdeiz: don't worry. makes no difference [09:10] dsdiez, halo [09:10] Cpt_Zyph, I am not very familiar with ssh I need a quick turorial [09:10] KM0201: ha ha...may be ... [09:10] dsdeiz, create a second primary partition. [09:10] it says there's a maximum of 4 primary partitions only [09:10] nikhilax: if they can't punch in a few key words in their computer and give you cookie-cutter answers... then it's "not supported" [09:10] dsdeiz, correct. [09:10] dsdeiz, how many do you want? [09:10] SuperPaco69 have you opened the cfg file yet? [09:11] dsdeiz: make on primary partition an extended one and create logical drives in it. linux-systems won't care about that [09:11] KM0201: hmm , right...even now i am feeling that... :P [09:11] one* === boazr is now known as boazr1 [09:11] anyone able to point me in the direction of how to check dmesg sense my /log/boot file showes nothing.. === boazr1 is now known as boazr [09:11] oh ok cool.. [09:11] im getting an error msg at boot but not long enough to write it all down and look it up [09:11] KM0201: but why my harddisk is not showing up...hell.. [09:11] Cpt_Zyph, no where is that file?? [09:12] thiefy: currently there are 4 being used as primary partitions [09:12] nikhilax: my first thought, is 6.06 doesn't support the PC... and when you boot 10.10, it's gonna work just fine [09:12] Cpt_Zyph: dmesg|grep whatever or enable bootlogd in /etc/default/.... [09:12] so i probably need another one for ubuntu :D but since it won't make much difference will use logical ones [09:12] dsdeiz, yeah, i see, then create a logical partition and install linux on that one. [09:12] right. [09:12] nikhilax, the 10.10 installer didn't find your mysterious hard drive? [09:13] KM0201: hmmm,. may be..downloading 10.10..lets see.. [09:13] thiefy: not yet tried.. it will take 4 hours to download 10.10 [09:13] Cpt_Zyph, have you check the log file viewer? [09:13] no im still learning that but ill look it up now [09:13] nikhilax, oh i thought by this you were saying IT didn't even see it: KM0201: but why my harddisk is not showing up...hell.. [09:14] thiefy: KM0201 : what if my harddisk dint showed up after that? [09:14] nikhilax: well, i don't like to deal in what ifs.. i'm guessing it will show up fine [09:14] nikhilax, then i would ask your roommate if he took the bloody thing outta that computer without telling you. [09:14] hi there, I have been having a problem with Ubuntu 10.10, the serial port drivers for FTDI, specifically FT2232 seem to be broken or there is some problem in their configuration [09:14] switching back to 10.04 solves the issue [09:14] thiefy: ha ha...thats really funnt [09:14] i have enabled bootlogd already why i was hopping the boot log file woudl have something... [09:14] awesome, thanks all! [09:15] nikhilax, most laptops don't have two hard drives. we would have to agree that you are screwing with us at that point. [09:15] funny i mean [09:15] for the dmesg grep command what would the what ever be.. thats sorta the part i cant figure out [09:15] thiefy: even i dont have 2 hardidisk [09:15] nikhilax, also, if you can't see it. reboot and make sure the bios picks it up. cause maybe it's connector came loose on the drive or soemthing dumb like that. [09:16] thiefy: thats not possible as gparted showing up [09:16] thiefy: naa, he's just got more issues than a news stand... once he boots 10.10, it'.l probably see th drive just fine, and he'll be able to install [09:16] Cpt_Zyph, no where is that file?? [09:16] yeah, true... if gparted doesn't see it now. then KM0201 will buy you a new hard drive. cause yeah, that'd be quite odd. [09:17] aaa dont recall one sec [09:17] my server is down i just moved [09:17] thiefy: lol.. [09:17] superpaco69 i think its in etc or something sshd folder [09:17] guys why ubuntu is quit complex? [09:17] lol [09:18] what is the name [09:18] cfg?? [09:18] thiefy: i've got quite a few hard drives here if necessary.. he'll get a used one... got a couple of 80gig 2.5in drives [09:18] nice. [09:18] guys why ubuntu is quit complex? what do you mean by that? [09:18] hey guys i just installed virtualbox, but im not able to make the usb working the window is not recognizing it [09:19] glaceman: virtualbox-OSE? it has no usb-support [09:19] thiefy: i mean by that i installed 11.04 this is the reason i got messed up. [09:19] what is a police state? [09:19] ha ha [09:19] llutz_: i just download it from virualbox website [09:19] because he was used to MS? [09:19] oracle vm virtualbox [09:19] glaceman: have you added your user to the vboxusers group? [09:19] llutz_: nope [09:20] Hi. On 10.10 my caps lock has stopped working. the keyboard is a bit unique (datahand pro ii), BUT, it was working fine previously. No idea what's caused it. [09:20] glaceman: you need to be member of that group [09:20] Hi. On 10.10 my caps lock has stopped working. [09:20] good. [09:20] Any ideas about diagnosing? xev, presumably. [09:20] capslock needs to be shot in the head. [09:20] llutz_: how do i do that ? [09:20] where ? [09:20] thiefy: I work with legacy applications where everything is uppercase :o| [09:20] glaceman: "id" in a terminal should show that group [09:20] gbjk, oooh, that'd be annoying then. [09:20] Update Manager this morning reported: "Package lists are being loaded." What are the filenames of these lists? [09:20] thiefy: And on a datahand, holding down shift permanently is a pita. [09:21] thiefy: Feel my pain :o| [09:21] paste? [09:21] pastebot [09:22] gbjk, yeah, xev does look like the way to go. i don't know a helpful answer though. [09:22] http://paste.scsys.co.uk/82218 [09:22] llutz_: [09:22] xev strace for broken ... wtf. [09:23] gid=1000(michel) groups=1000(michel),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),111(lpadmin),119(admin),122(sambashare) [09:23] ISO_Next_group ? [09:23] * gbjk goes hunting xmodmap [09:23] glaceman: when you add yourself to the vbox users group... you'll be able to use USB.... o you want the quick/dirty way to do it? [09:24] peter anvin is here.. [09:24] glaceman: sudo adduser michel vboxusers and logoff/login after that [09:24] I've compiled kile and used checkinstall to install it the debiand way. now apt wants to 'update' to the version from repository. how do I prevent that? [09:25] hmm, i can rarely make sense of what xev tells ya.... [09:25] janisozaur: set it on hold [09:25] !hold > janisozaur [09:25] i am trying with kubuntu 9.10 ... should i? [09:25] nikhilax: trying what? [09:26] nikhilax, sure, but normal ubuntu is better. [09:26] glaceman, i believe the latest vbox puel can detect usb devices [09:26] * KM0201 thinks KDE is a linux virus [09:26] well i have no idea what im looking for or what log file it would be located in [09:26] KM0201: trying to see that will it be able ti see my harddisk.. [09:26] yeah, exactly, kde is lame in my opinion. [09:26] anyone know of a channel for discussions on firewire protocol? [09:27] nikhilax: if you want to try it, yeah... i'm guessing 9.10 will probably see it, unless its a really new machine [09:27] nikhilax: but i wouldn't install it [09:27] nikhilax: i'd also wear sunglasses, so KDE doesn't burn holes in your retina w/ its horrid GUI [09:27] haaaaah [09:27] llutz, ubottu knows nothing about !hold [09:28] KM0201: hmm i just want to make sure that itshows up my harddisk. whats KDE? how its bad? [09:28] KM0201, im allergic to blue color it keeps reminding me of my past life with MS [09:28] janisozaur: sudo aptitude hold [09:28] i see that gnome go "plug-ins" said that can not valideren with Twitter :/ [09:28] KM0201, thats why im not used to kde [09:28] nikhilax: its a different GUI for linux... its horrible. [09:28] llutz, thanks [09:29] scriptwarlock: i'm allergic to slow... and constant hourglasses, etc [09:29] KM0201: ok,.. [09:29] KM0201, Sadly, KDE/QT have the best printed circuit board layout program :( [09:29] I fixed my issue with a pure remap of keycode 66 back to Caps_lock [09:29] Otherwise I'd recommend to everyone to never resort to it, ever [09:29] xcthulhu: which runs with other WMs too [09:30] OH wow...Guys Kubuntu showed up all the disk.. [09:30] wow [09:30] llutz, Eh, I still simply hate the look/feel [09:30] KM0201, im seeing another bloated DE [09:30] nikhilax: yeah... thats not reallys urprising [09:31] pointless DE/WM/GUI bashing please next door (#ubuntu-offtopic) [09:31] * scriptwarlock sorry [09:31] nikhilax: No sense installing an old version of Ubuntu. Wait untill you have Ubuntu 10.10 downloaded and install that. [09:32] nikhilax, throw that stupid 6.06 cd in the garbage. along with that kde cd. [09:32] Jordan_U: we've been telling him that for the last hour.. he was just all excited 9.10 sees his hard drive. [09:32] nikhilax, it's good the new 10.10 saw it, bad that old one didn't. [09:32] Friends don't let Friends, use KDE [09:32] Jordan_U: YEAh..not installing just checking now downloading 10.10 [09:33] nikhilax: so that should alleviate your fears. [09:33] KM0201: yeah exactly.. [09:33] gbjk, good job man. i can't make sesnse of what xev is saying hardly at all... [09:33] thiefy: can u please tell me one more thing that how can we use voice chat in gmail using 10.10 [09:33] ? [09:33] thiefy: It said that keycode 66 does some shit I've never seen before. [09:34] So I just reached for the club hammer of "fuck it, I know I want it to be caps lock". [09:34] nikhilax, use empathy [09:34] nikhilax: if i'm not mistaken, empathy supports google voice chat. [09:34] I'm more confident remapping normally, but with the datahand I often find I have fuck all idea what's going on. [09:34] KM0201, it does [09:34] hey everyone! [09:34] gbjk, could you cut out the potty mouth please? [09:34] ZykoticK9: well sing the hallelujah chorus! :) [09:34] It's *meant* to present like a normal keyboard, but it often does the strangest things. [09:34] Nikhilax yes i use it for g talk all the time [09:35] i was just trying to get opencv up and running on my system [09:35] when i try compiling i get the following error p irc.ubuntu.com [09:35] oops [09:35] elky: Sorry, acknowledged. I'm awful for that. Will try to keep it clean. [09:35] http://www.dpaste.org/Kd8J/ [09:35] an0maly: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:35] KM0201: but i tried that but person on call cannot hear my voice.. tried it many times.. problem is that person is usning windows [09:35] gbjk, thanks :) [09:35] nikhilax, on the mail.google.com it should just work aftter telling you to install some lil addon does it not? [09:35] could someone help out? [09:35] * gbjk finds that discussing computers and not swearing is like discussing politics and not disparing [09:36] nikhilax: hmm [09:36] * KM0201 uses skype... no problems [09:36] thiefy it works, i can hear the caller voice but that caller doesnt [09:36] hm, why doesn't ubuntu start x by default? [09:36] on my end, login is through terminal, shouldn't it be like on gdm or something? [09:36] and when i do startx it blacks out [09:36] an0maly: Yikes. Okay, well when that happens you generally think "Oh, it wants Header files (.h), but can't find them. (Can I find them)->(Can I get them) [09:36] nikhilax, i think this could help. read the sound part of this skype tutorial for sound issues http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=61103&p=349973#p349973 [09:37] an0maly: So can you find highgui.h on your system? Is it part of this package? If not, can you find what provides it (via the internet) [09:37] gbjk, looking into it, thanks [09:38] an0maly: use apt-file (search) to find packages containing a file [09:38] thiefy, thanks again! :D [09:38] gbjk: Your sentiment "[10:35] * gbjk finds that discussing computers and not swearing is like discussing politics and not disparing" belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic and not in this channel. [09:38] RealEyes, what did i do for you? [09:39] llutz_, i've got the header files, but i think the compiler just cant find them [09:39] you helped me fix my borked modem [09:39] you are laggg? [09:39] hi i have usb modem hang up problem .can anybofy help me. ? [09:40] upsla, that modem is very hard to get working in linux. can you not tell your isp to get you a proper non-usb modem? [09:40] Oh yeah, sorry! [09:40] Forgot about my nick :P [09:40] Yeah, I'm Laggg. [09:40] Is it possible to create a swap partition right now? I didnt make one on install :P [09:40] coool. i figured that'd work, but i've never needed to do that. [09:41] how much ram do you have RealEyes ? [09:41] thiefy: can i post output of the terminal. you can have look at it. [09:41] bullgard4: Yikes. That's a bit restrictive. EXACTLY on topic only always makes timmy a dull boy. Acknowledged though, I guess, if you're an op... [09:41] upsla i think that is beyond my expertise. [09:41] 4GB [09:41] thiefy: k. [09:41] bullgard4: Taking a reply to *this* channel and putting it in another channel seems a bit ... silly. [09:41] it also shouldn't be displaying anything during boot other than the loading screen right? any suggestions? [09:41] gbjk, i know exactly what you mean....

[09:43] Phenom II X3 720 BE [09:43] ;D [09:43] swap partitons aren't really that useful anymore. [09:43] can anyone have look at this post and tell what is wrong ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/553533/ [09:43] thiefy, why? [09:44] if one really needs swap, buy more RAM or create a swap-file [09:44] RealEyes: You might try looking at the "top" command for diagnosing what is taking up the most memory when its slow [09:44] computers come with so much bloody ram now a days, that you don't need swap space.

[09:50] upsla: whether PPPoE (what you tried and did not succeed with) is the correct way, to connect to your provider. Name & Brand of the modem [09:51] upsla, there is information missing from there, can you unplug the modem, and then replug it in, then paste the output of "dmesg" in to the pastebin please [09:51] DThought:Beetel 100 CX === evilNiko is now known as niko [09:52] upsla, type sudo ifconfig is eth0 up or down?

[09:55] hi [09:55] thiefy, I think the Beetel 10 CX has an ethernet port [09:55] So he should just get a crossover cable? [09:56] nope, I'm wrong about that [09:57] i doublt it has ethernet or there wouldn't be people on the net bitching about it not working. [09:57] hello, i'm having a problem with compiz on ubuntu 10.10, the animations don't work, also i tried to configure the aero-like windows snap and it doesn't work [09:57] -the usb part not working. they'd just give up and use wired.

[09:57] Oacki: it is [09:57] i woudl take any usb modem and throw it in the garbage and get a ethernet style one.

I think that should be enought right? [09:58] Oacki: it is [09:58] rejoin if you go to system - preferences - appearance - on that last tab, see which bullet you have selected there. [09:59] i have the latest nvidia drivers, and it seems that the animations and the snapping is the only thing which is not working [09:59] Oacki: but you need to change partition type for ubuntu [09:59] Oacki, yes [09:59] Oacki, you can have them both installed, so when you turn it on, you chose winders or ubuntu.

[10:08] admin_, i don't know. [10:08] Ascavasaion: the duron should be, but in many situations (mainly to do with cache) the athlon will be [10:08] AbhiJit, which one [10:09] nit-wit, open office it self [10:09] nit-wit, sudo at-get install openoffice.org [10:09] linxeh: Hmm, so which is a better po0cessor for Linux?

I don't think there is a place to complain per-sey. [10:11] ubottu:!nickserv [10:11] nit-wit, ok. thank you for talking [10:11] Update Manager this morning reported: "Package lists are being loaded." What are the filenames of these lists? [10:11] linxeh: I thouht Athlon was newer and thus better.

Thanks for the help guys! [10:41] hovis, if you wan sun java make sure the partner repos are enabled and I would also remove and of the open java stuff generally what I do is just Search in synaptic for icedtea and remove all of the installed packages and then search for sun java and install what is needed in that list [10:42] gaha! Whatever path provided on stackexchange was all wet. [10:42] hovis, the left over open stuff will how up and can be removed later [10:42] The JDKs are here, under /usr/lib/jvm/... [10:42] hovis, mm [10:42] I'll try without sunjava first, and just openjdkand see what happens [10:42] hovis: the exact location is probably not the issue. Mostly various java installations exist on one system. The default can be set through "alternatives" command [10:43] join #matlab [10:43] But I have to provide the path to the jdk for sqldeveloper.... that's all I really needed [10:43] It's kind of dumb, IMO [10:44] upsla, where are we but really im a bit busy so my replies are seldom [10:44] scriptwarlock:i have ethernet card installled when i bought this system and isp provided the usb modem [10:44] hovis: there's also #oracle, maybe more people with same experience there? === richard is now known as Guest43806 [10:45] Hi guys!

[10:56] However, they are quite dated [10:56] upsla, see xcthulhu [10:56] Sherberts: I think there is an #ubuntuforums channel, probably that would be the best place to report it [10:56] sorry Sherberts, wrong nick [10:56] upsla: did you look at the windows driver? [10:56] scriptwarlock:ya i know that link. i tried that method too [10:57] upsla: you get a NAS0 device - so the usb modem is recognized [10:57] did you try "dhclient nas0" ? [10:57] anyone knows how to make a window unminimizable on gnome?? [10:57] I read up on some things and it sounds like rocket science [10:57] shleda: I think there is an #ubuntuforums channel, probably that would be the best place to report it [10:57] but I want to learn [10:57] thanks DJones [10:58] DThought:ya i looked at that driver. i found nothing. [10:58] dagon: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Maverick wouldn't be a bad place to start reading [10:58] dagon, patience is what you need.. unless you have a computer chip implanted yo help you learn in a matter of minutes [10:59] is mav better than lucid? [10:59] dagon, start reading ebooks regarding ubuntu which is available in the net [10:59] anyone know of a place to find a lot of good ubuntu video tutorials? excluding youtube [10:59] dagni, they call it an update for a reason [10:59] dagon: it's newer. it won't be maintained as long. [10:59] dagon: if linux was rocket science we'd be heading to Orion by now [10:59] how do I configure network manager to add a search domain to /etc/resolv.conf? [10:59] dagon, Maverick is better than lucid for everything I do [10:59] The_Maverick, metacafe [11:00] upsla: try "sudo modprobe cxacru" and then check dmesg or ifconfig for new devices [11:00] hi [11:00] I have Lucid on my lahaha sugoruyo that is true I guess or we'd be walkin onmars [11:00] llutz_:k [11:00] thanks [11:00] Lucid on laptop rather [11:01] dagon: it has a learning curve of course, especially if you come from Win/Mac background [11:01] yeah shame i was spoon fed that microsoft stuff sinceiwas a kid [11:01] dagon: another bit of advice is, as long as you don't mind breaking things (perhaps install a second copy of ubuntu to mess about in, or a virtual machine) just get stuck in and start messing about :P [11:02] amen [11:02] virtualbox + another buntu install is amazing [11:02] lets talk now. [11:02] * scriptwarlock standby mode for the concert [11:02] i didn't know a thing about linux until i borked my xorg.conf [11:02] that was a fun night [11:02] how a u ? [11:02] I crashed like 2 HD's with linux because I bounced back and forth from linux to windows [11:02] lol [11:03] I think when that upsla guy comes back someone should sell him virtualbox [11:03] I have a kubuntu cd, but I don't know exactly what version. how can I find the information on the cd ? [11:03] dagon: learning linux takes time and patience, and noone really knows it like the back of their hand [11:03] can I add a searchdomain to /etc/resolv.conf using the ubuntu tools? [11:04] dibblego, gksu gedit /etc/resolv.conf [11:04] well time I got patience i dont [11:04] rumpe1, that will be overwritten by network manager [11:04] dagon: got cash? :P no problem [11:05] lol [11:05] gribouille: there should be a .disk directory on the CD, and the file .disk/info should have the version and architecture info in it [11:06] dagon: how the hell can you crash a hard drive by installing multiple operating systems on it?! [11:06] hey all [11:06] llutz_:i did wat u said. in dmesg it says adsl is up. [11:07] ne2k: no not possible, lol [11:07] think the drive said forget this! [11:07] ne2k: use hummer for that [11:07] Update Manager this morning reported: "Package lists are being loaded." What are the filenames of these lists? [11:07] scriptwarlock:r u there ? [11:07] upsla: so you have a new networkdevice now? [11:08] upsla: another thing you could try is to use "dhclient nas0" after you got your nas0 [11:08] upsla, standby mode [11:08] bullgard4, hmm... maybe the files in /var/lib/apt/lists/.... ? [11:09] llutz_:i had it before. [11:09] upsla: "sudo pppoeconfig" [11:10] Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libu/libunistring/libunistring0_0.9.3-1_amd64.deb Hash Sum missmatch [11:10] llutz_:when i type that command it scans eth0 and nas 0, but it gets with nas 0 with progress bar at 100% [11:10] this is on za. uk. ,etc when will thisbe fixed? [11:10] llutz_:when i type that command it scans eth0 and nas 0, but it gets stuck with nas 0 with progress bar at 100% [11:11] awk: did you check if "sudo apt-get update" fixes it? [11:11] upsla: does "dmesg|grep firmware" bring up something related [11:11] tsimpson: yes I have, like I said I changed to 3 different repos, so I would have to have done an apt-get update [11:11] tsimpson: is there a option to ignore wrong hashes? [11:12] llutz_:i did not try that. [11:12] upsla: dhclient nas0 - tried that one? otherwise, its PPPoA or PPPoE, and you need the correct setting to use it [11:12] upsla: seriously, just get a router [11:12] upsla: or even an ethernet modem [11:12] upsla, Alternatively, run linux in virtualbox [11:12] xcthulhu: kapow [11:13] awk: not that I have ever seen, I guess just give it some time, if it's not working later you could file a bug against the package [11:13] tsimpson: ok thanks. [11:13] cam i run fedora in virtual box in ubuntu? [11:13] wait let me try .............. [11:13] amit: sure [11:13] amit: of course you can [11:13] amit, Yes [11:13] how much ram should i assgn for it? [11:14] ne2k, I think running linux in virtualbox is a good solution for that guy [11:14] What's a good GUI IRC client as an alternative to XChat? [11:14] xcthulhu: I think getting a decent, non-shite modem is a good solution [11:14] rumpe1: I found several package lists there. I will try to ascertain that these are the files sought for. [11:15] hi, i am using 10.10 and Wifi is always disabled on my HP mini 210, how do i fix it? [11:15] xcthulhu: upsla: ya you can run ubuntu in virtualbox in windows or run windows in virtualbox in ubuntu, in the later you can have windows share the usb adsl with ubuntu [11:15] ne2k, that might just not be in the cards, however. [11:15] !info smuxi | barfus [11:15] barfus: hard to tell, everyone has different needs/requirements. There's never a single best app for any task [11:15] barfus: smuxi (source: smuxi): graphical IRC client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8-1build2 (maverick), package size 9 kB, installed size 56 kB [11:15] oCean: of course. You just tell me your choice :) [11:15] sacarlson, He's gone :( [11:15] xcthulhu: oh, I thought it was a good idea, oh well [11:15] barfus: that's not what this channel is for. (Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.) [11:16] sacarlson, Me too. When he comes back, it would be a good idea to tell him again [11:16] I have to go to bed [11:16] how can i stop ssh 22 on ubuntu? === xcthulhu is now known as xcthulhu_afk [11:16] oCean: ok, forget polling. What is your particular favourite graphical IRC client? [11:17] Oacki: service ssh stop [11:17] tsimpson: thing is I need to build a kernel now.. if I download that package manually and do a --force or --no-deps it doesn't work either. dpkg-deb (subprocess): data: internal gzip read error: ': invalid stored block lengths' [11:17] ssh: unrecognized service [11:18] channel for red hat? [11:18] I'm trying to build a lua c++ library. Where can I find the liblua and liblualib files? [11:18] Oacki: sudo service ssh stop [11:18] /usr/lib doesn't seem to have anything... [11:18] Oacki: /etc/init.d/ssh stop [11:18] awk: looks like the .deb file on the server is wrong somehow, did you try directly from archive.ubuntu.com? [11:19] /etc/init.d/ssh sto [11:20] Oacki: sudo service ssh stop [11:20] DOESNT WORK since it promps with ssh service non`existent [11:20] Oacki: sudo lsof -i :22 [11:20] then find the correct file in /etc/init.d/ [11:20] I love you all [11:20] Oacki: is « sudo stop ssh » in newer ubuntu with upstart afaik [11:20] Oacki: what tells you that you have it running [11:21] seems it works now :P [11:21] Hi Guys [11:21] aurilliance: install whatever development packages you need, probably liblua5.1-0-dev [11:21] Hello [11:21] Oacki: the conf file is /etc/init/ssh.conf [11:21] I have 2 DSL modems, can I use both for load balancing / fail-over between them? [11:21] Could anybody help me installing Mesa driver, please? [11:21] tsimpson, I've already done that [11:22] qbitza: do you have 2 separate lines?

I installed(./configure, make, sudo make install), but xorg.conf doesn recognise driver "intel" [11:23] aurilliance: then you should have /usr/lib/liblua5.1.so [11:23] Oacki: output of this command? dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep openssh [11:23] qbitza: if you've got 2 dsl lines, it could work [11:23] DThought:see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/553562/ [11:23] Now we have another department joining, with their own modem - would love to leverage both or have fail over at least [11:24] Gnea, Any idea how to do it?

That file is there. My g++ command is "g++ host.cpp -o host -I/usr/include/lua5.1 -llua -llualib" but I get "‘luaL_newstate’ was not declared in this scope" Does that mean my linking commands are still not right? A bit off topic I'll admit... [11:26] juk: Other IRC-channels I'm in it's "normal" to ask in PM [11:26] qbitza: well basically you'll want to load balance the two [11:26] upsla, no ethernet cable to that modem? onl usb? [11:26] fifarunnerr: this is #ubuntu, we stand apart [11:26] juk: So I thought it'd be ok to do so, but sorry for being rude [11:27] Gnea, Yep, any suggestions? [11:27] fifarunnerr: I dont care [11:27] Nm, I'll go to #lua. [11:27] i think the one being rude here is juk [11:27] juk: Error is: [ 467.460] (EE) Failed to load module "intel" (module does not exist, 0) [11:27] scriptwarlock:no ethernet cable and no ethernet port o the modem.

[12:30] anyone? How can you completely remove java from ubuntu 10.10? [12:30] PsycKho: the term is "blocking". if you background the job with &, or ctrl-z bg, then it will not block [12:30] juk: I did as you said and its not working. [12:30] vlt: what are the backticks for? [12:30] Squeazer: By removing the jvm machines [12:30] Squeazer: not sure why you would want to though [12:31] ne2k, PsycKho: These backticks were just to mark the begin and end of the command to type. [12:31] acicula: i want to run minecraft.... and i cant, it keeps crashing [12:31] vlt: that is confusing because backticks actually do something special in the shell [12:31] update-alternatives --list java will show you the current jvms installed [12:31] ne2k: In bash ... yeah [12:31] Squeazer: how does minecraftt crashing relate to java? [12:32] Squeazer: you can set your preferred jvm using update-alternatives also [12:32] acicula: i'll try [12:32] PsycKho: I was going to add the caveat that if you close that terminal window, the gedit will also die, because although it is backgrounded, it is still a child of the terminal. however, I have just tested this on maverick and it appears it doesn't happen like that, which is odd [12:33] oh, hang on, it may be because I already have a gedit open elsewhere [12:33] ne2k: Is there a better way to mark begin and end of commands to type here in the channel? [12:33] vlt: double quotes, or just put a colon. i.e. type "ls -R" or type: ls -R [12:34] juk: I got Docky to work, but on the net it said to use Gnome Do? Which one is better? [12:34] vinok: how do I know the needed DLL files and located it source? [12:34] ne2k: if you background a program it wont die when you exit the terminal [12:34] acicula: How do you set the preferred java vm? [12:34] acicula: what gives you that idea? [12:34] hey ppl how can i get system information on debian 3.1 ? there is no dmidecode or lshw === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube [12:35] ne2k: because i do that all the time [12:35] ne2k, PsycKho: Closing the terminal will close the backgrounded process too. But you could try "nohup gedit". [12:35] classical__: try asking in #debian [12:35] Squeazer: use --config instead of --list, also just try update-alternatives witthout arguments, itll show you a ehlp page [12:35] acicula: it's normal on every other linux I have ever used for it to die, but I suspect something special has been added to gnome terminal to make it hand its children over to something else on close because it's not intuitive for backgrounded children to die to non unix people [12:35] ne2k: stopped jobs are killed [12:36] vlt: it doesn't, though [12:36] acicula: Thx, i'll try that [12:36] ne2k: if i ssh in, start something and background it it doesnt die either when i logout [12:36] ne2k: It doesn't what? [12:36] ne2k, vlt : Yup, it works better with nohup. The gedit doesnt close when I shut terminal [12:37] acicula: I'm confused about the distinction here, then [12:37] <^Phantom^> okay, what am I doing wrong? 7zip keeps telling me Error: Incorrect command line [12:37] it's obviously stopped vs. running background jobs [12:37] ne2k: The backgrounded child process will be closed if you haven't opened a (gedit) instance before. Also on Ubuntu's gnome ;-) [12:38] how can you force ubuntu to redetect hardware ? === hekos is now known as Hekos [12:38] vlt: nope, it isn't. I just tested it [12:39] ne2k: works for me [12:39] vlt: it's killed if it's stopped, but not if it's backgrounded [12:39] if the process is backgrounded it isnt killed when you kill the parent [12:39] ne2k: Wait, the DE I tested was LXDE, not GNOME ... sorry [12:40] maybe there is a kill option to signal to kill parents and children to show different behaviour [12:40] Hey, I'm having a weird problem with my sound. My sound works with headphones plugged in, but i can't get it to work through my laptop speakers. Can anyone help? [12:40] Dose anyone know how I can download an Ubuntu package to my home folder? ( E.g Ubuntu Restricted Extras ) [12:40] acicula: no, of course it isn't. I don't know why I thought it would be. I was confused [12:40] <^Phantom^> Well, how about that, I got the .apk files out, yay ^_^ [12:40] <^Phantom^> thank you Eor [12:40] Eagle: why would you want to? [12:40] oolon do you have intel audio?

And what laptop type? [12:42] Sentarshi2: does your mic work well anywhere else? [12:42] ne2k: But it is closed on Lucid w/ LXDE [12:42] vlt: what terminal emulator [12:43] ne2k: So when im off line I can access packages to reinstall other computers, that cant access the net.. [12:43] <^Phantom^> That is just rather strange, though, that Archive Manager absolutely REFUSES to extract .apk files from archives, bit 7zip does it without any trouble at all. [12:43] ignus: it's an asus g53jw [12:43] acicula: update-alternatives --config java says "There is only one alternative in link group java" what can i do next? [12:44] acicula: lxterminal running bash [12:44] Eagle: use apt-get --download-only flag, and then copy from /var/cache/apt. or just download directly from packages.ubuntu.com [12:44] Sentarshi2: do not PM [12:44] vlt: check how it terminates bash,maybe it has a setting to just kill bash instead of the entire group [12:44] Squeazer: what are you trying to do? [12:45] Squeazer: im gonna guess and say you want jvm x.y.z to run your game [12:45] ne2k: Thanks for the Swift help...... :) :) [12:45] Squeazer: to set that as default you have to install it from the repo and then set it as the default [12:45] The answer is that I must luksFormat /dev/sdb1 before I cryptsetup create blah blah... /dev/sdb1 [12:45] <^Phantom^> Also, whoops, I forgot to specify which file I wanted, and ended up extracting them all. [12:45] Squeazer: though installing that typically does that automagically [12:45] <^Phantom^> XD [12:45] The following partially fixed my problem, but still sometimes I don't have sound. [12:45] ok [12:46] sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [12:46] and at the bottom: [12:47] Hello [12:47] addthis line: options snd-intel8x0 model=laptop [12:47] and this: options snd-intel8x0 position_fix=1 enable=yes [12:47] ignus: please don't recommend using "sudo" with GUI apps, gksu or gksudo should be used instead [12:48] I like linux and ubuntu and all. But why does the sound never work :c. [12:48] <^Phantom^> Okay, now this is really tripping me out [12:48] ok sorry. so then gksudo or gksu [12:48] <^Phantom^> Now Archive Manager is extracting the .apk files without issue D: [12:48] <^Phantom^> How strange indeed. [12:48] sax: bwecause hardware makers dont bother to try to support linux for the most part. [12:49] sax: ive had very few sound issues. it all depwends on the chipset. [12:49] ignus: do i have to restart after that? [12:49] Of course I understand that Dr, but still man. [12:49] sax: its better then it was years ago...

My problem is, i loaded an old game that only needs 64Mb graphics card, i got 128Mb, but the game and videos run very slow. I loaded vmware, and its set with high setting, but still no joy! I'm getting lost :s [13:13] db_loco: running games in vmware is painstakingly slow no matter what [13:13] db_loco: check the wine app database and the #winehq channel [13:13] !appdb | db_loco [13:13] db_loco: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [13:13] acicula, i heard that, but now i recall when i loaded the game using wine, it was the same, hence i moved to vmware for that reason. am I battling a lost war? [13:14] db_loco: it all depends on the game and how badly its written [13:14] db_loco: wine is a windows emulator, which should work much better then vmware [13:14] Dr_Willis, its empire earth II [13:14] wine is not an emulater [13:14] wine just translates directx calls to opengl(linux) calls [13:14] it is a compatibility package [13:14] anyone knows how to configure sip easily ubuntu?

[14:02] Hi, are there any application like the Ccleanere for the ubuntu OS [14:02] pippz: ehh i would assume blacklist means not installable period [14:03] ok acicula, i'm reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [14:04] acicula: ok, its simple (seems :P), echo package hold | dpkg --set-selections [14:04] :-) [14:04] pippz: actually there are two different things, there is the apt-get blacklist which doesnt upgrade certain packages automatically, and there is pinning to make sure a package stays at a certain revision [14:06] so if you want to be able to upgrade packages but just not automatically via unattended uprgades then the blacklist is what you want [14:06] Lantizia: its a licensed format [14:06] nobody seems to find a solution for my voip issue... [14:07] acicula, I know that ... tell me more [14:08] I have a HSDPA modem which I use to connect to the internet in windows, When I tried to use it on my Ubuntu 10.10 box, as soon as it connected to the internet it switches over to EDGE network from HSDPA one. The modem is huawei E1550. What should I do? [14:08] Hi. After the last update, the maximize/minimize/close buttons jumped to the upper left corner of the window border again, so I checked in gconf-editor; button_layout is set to "menu:minimize,maximize,close", so, in my understanding, the buttons *should* be in the upper right corner? What happened and how do I get the back there? [14:08] inashdeen: not that many people running servers here with the knowhow to help you with such a problem, or perhaps the time to dig deeper into it, try another channel/forums? [14:09] Baribal, ... change the : to the other side. [14:09] acicula: no, i just want to mantain a specifically version of a package, so probably the 'hold' is the correct way [14:09] no? [14:09] acicula: i am using a voip pc-to-phone service which is a payable one. i really need it to call malaysia from egypt [14:09] Lantizia: Any software that is not available under an open license or emburdend with patents is not directly distributed with ubuntu [14:10] change in gconf-editor: /apps/metacity/general/button_layout to... /apps/metacity/general/button_layout [14:10] acicula, the firefox logo is patented [14:10] Lantizia: i would think its a trademark not a patent [14:10] I have a HSDPA modem which I use to connect to the internet in windows, When I tried to use it on my Ubuntu 10.10 box, as soon as it connected to the internet it switches over to EDGE network from HSDPA one. The modem is huawei E1550. What should I do? [14:10] hi all [14:10] talntid, the other side of what? ":menu,minimize,maximize,close"? "minimize,maximize,close:menu"? [14:11] on linux best VM sw is VMware? [14:11] Baribal, check what I just posted above. It will fix ya right up. [14:11] x64-vt, that depends on what you are looking to do. I prefer Xen. [14:11] x64-vt: use virtualbox [14:11] I like KVM [14:11] it's mostly about preference, see? ^ [14:11] i already use it [14:11] Vbox [14:11] x64-vt: its good [14:12] yes it is [14:12] x64-vt: then whats the problem [14:12] pippz: yeah then pinning is what you want [14:12] Hey folks [14:12] pippz: just make sure not to hose your system in the process, but i think the wiki page covers that already [14:12] talntid, could it be that you did a little copy&paste error? "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" is probably not a valid value for /apps/metacity/general/button_layout. ^^ [14:12] it's a question, if there's a better on i would pick it [14:12] one [14:13] x64-vt: that u'll have to find out yourself [14:13] x64-vt: and see which one suits you better [14:13] Baribal, oops: I meant ......... :minimize,maximize,close [14:13] talntid: why do you prefer Xen if i can ask? i am very interested to know [14:13] well virtualbox isnt exactly in the same league as kvm-qemu or xen [14:13] how to compress via Terminal [14:14] acicula: explain more please [14:14] Okay, changed it and... no change. [14:14] I changed a theme in Ubuntu and now i cannot get the old Ubuntu 10.10 theme back can someone help me out [14:14] I have a HSDPA modem which I use to connect to the internet in windows, When I tried to use it on my Ubuntu 10.10 box, as soon as it connected to the internet it switches over to EDGE network from HSDPA one. The modem is huawei E1550. What should I do? [14:14] x64-vt, I have a call center with a lot of high-availability servers clustered. It allows me to move them between machines seamlessly and quickly, as load changes. [14:14] Baribal, are you using metacity? [14:14] x64-vt: easy stuff use virtualbox, more complex stuff use kvm-qemu/xen [14:14] ok nice to know [14:14] i bet it would be like that [14:15] talntid, I *think* so, but I don't keep tr.... Wait a second... [14:15] so for me Xen is not a smart choice, right? === RazorWolf is now known as Raz0rWolf [14:15] you still have not told us what you are attempting to host. Based on your lack of input, no, it's not for you. [14:15] I *think* I'm actually using compiz... [14:15] acicula: yes, its GREAT (the wiki page), thanks for your support... [14:16] x64-vt:It will depend upon your needs [14:16] Baribal, alt+f2, type "metacity --replace &" [14:16] i have no specific needs, it's simple pc [14:16] talntid, that'd replace compiz with metacity? [14:17] Hi [14:17] Baribal, until reboot, yes. [14:17] x64-vt:I'd suggest that you tryouut each one and see for yourself [14:17] so, you can see if anything is changed. [14:17] EgOr: i sure will [14:17] want to download ubunto for my win7 64bit. Can I use 32bit too? [14:17] I have a HSDPA modem which I use to connect to the internet in windows, When I tried to use it on my Ubuntu 10.10 box, as soon as it connected to the internet it switches over to EDGE network from HSDPA one. The modem is huawei E1550. What should I do? [14:17] ubuntu* [14:18] Raz0rWolf : yes [14:18] talntid, any chance of moving the buttons back while keep using compiz? ^^ [14:18] yes, Raz0rWolf [14:18] talntid: 'cause i see you are more skilled, do you notice speed improvemente if you use VT-enabled CPU? [14:18] Hey there, does anybody know an easy way to flip the video from a DVD from left to right? [14:18] which would you suggest in 64bit enviroment? [14:18] Baribal, I'm trying to help you troubleshoot. [14:18] littlegirl: use vlc [14:18] hello all [14:19] Okay, replaced. Yup, buttons are back where they belong. [14:19] EgOr: Thanks! (: [14:19] Yes, you can move the buttons, but compiz gets the info based on the settings of metacity. It must not check them every second. I was asking to to reload metacity, so we can debug, and see if they move over. If they do, reboot, and see if compiz comes back with the buttons on the proper side. [14:19] Raz0rWolf : i'd say 64 bit one [14:19] alright, THNX! [14:19] littlegirl, Raz0rWolf : thanx [14:19] * scriptwarlock back from concert [14:19] Lantizia: i cant really find a link that explains it nicely, but anything that itself is not available under an open license is (and in some cases must be) excluded from the distribution itself. [14:20] Application like Ccleaner for Ubuntu/Linux [14:20] I have a HSDPA modem which I use to connect to the internet in windows, When I tried to use it on my Ubuntu 10.10 box, as soon as it connected to the internet it switches over to EDGE network from HSDPA one. The modem is huawei E1550. What should I do? [14:20] x64-vt, I have only used a VT-enabled CPU. I have not benchmarked it to anything else. I don't know. [14:20] ok thanks, i will search for specific bench [14:20] Eg0r, I got no idea for ya yet. [14:20] Well, they did move over, so thanks. :) Now compiz will take notice on shutdown? [14:20] Lantizia: which is also why you dont get H264 in firefox by default and so on [14:20] Baribal, I'm asking you to reboot to test, to see if they do. I don't know for sure. I don't use compiz. [14:21] egor, maybe you "mobile connect" sw is not with right settings? [14:21] your [14:21] Okay, bbiab [14:21] acicula, see I'm actually trying to find the legal reasons why is why I ask - I'm having trouble finding it myself - but ages back (i think red hat were the first) the distros one by one drop it.... but oddly debian has things like the fluendo mp3 codec and libmad0 in their main repo [14:21] hi. it seems there are 2 different suspend scripts being called when i either: A) close the laptop lid. or B) click "Main Menu > Shut Down... > Suspend". My Question is, how can i make it to when i close the laptop lid, the script for "Main Menu > Shut Down... > Suspend" is called?? i ask because when i close the lid, my external VGA monitor comes on brifly and turns off, then when i open the lid the external monitor turns on, but it's complet [14:21] ely black. this doesn't happen at all when i click "Main Menu > Shut Down... > Suspend". please help [14:21] acicula: it wasnt ESC, it was shift to hold to get grub menu... grub2! FYI [14:22] x64-vt : i dont use mobile connect in linux, i use the mobine broadband connection manager [14:22] *mobile [14:22] anyone knows how to mount sshfs (fuse) from a script (so, a way to provide password) ? I tried various ways, using stdin, googled it... nothing worked [14:22] Lantizia: you must distinguish between packaging it in the distribution installation media(cd/dvd/etc) and making it available for isntallation [14:22] acicula: i managed to boot a recovery kernel...god knows what i do know to fix the orinigal one. [14:23] egor ok, it will have an option to set your network preferences, and if you want it to switch them automatic or not [14:23] wookienz: try restarting and finishing the update? [14:23] acicula: there was no update, just a crashed prog that made me restart the box in the first place1 [14:23] x64-vt : it doesnot have that option [14:23] well that's bad [14:24] x64-vt : i know [14:25] if your provider accounts more out or HSDPA traffic, how can you avoid that? [14:25] x64-vt :Thats why i am here for help from you all [14:25] talntid, it works! [14:25] i am searching how to do it [14:25] hi all [14:25] x64-vt : I dont know, it works fine in windows [14:25] acicula: would a recovery boot, then a normal boot change anything? [14:25] acicula, I thought the issue was obtaining of any kind (download, cd or other) the binary compiled decoder [14:25] Thanks again. [14:25] I thought it might ;) [14:25] what do you use in windows? [14:25] which sw [14:25] I figured it pulls settings one time, when it starts.. :) [14:25] glad its working for you [14:25] Eg0r: They dont deliver HSDPA as they should. Know far more people that have the same problem. Try edit connection, in the settings and you should see a tab for connection type [14:25] buttons on the left side are annoying. [14:25] talntid: are you talking to us? [14:25] where should I update PATH, so it is updated for all processes. (I tried .bashrc and tried .bash_profile -- both cover the situation only partially ) [14:26] x64-vt : Mobile Partner which is provided by huawei [14:26] Lantizia: no, the gpl license specifically talks about bundling nonfree software and such [14:26] it's the best for me, so why don't you use it on linux either? [14:26] acicula, but it's not non-free [14:26] acicula, full source code [14:26] guest9187 : I'll try that [14:27] Lantizia: yes, but emburdend by patents for which no license is given [14:27] x64-vt : My wine just wont install any application [14:27] ok [14:27] !find cdda2wav [14:27] Found: icedax [14:27] hi guys a question i put this command gnome-schedule but window is too small : DISPLAY=:0.0 zenity --warning --title="Essen" --text="Essen fertig." [14:28] mobile connect is also native in linux, no need for wine! [14:28] have evolution 2.30 -. maverick default installation.. how can i get 2.322 (actual stable release) ? [14:28] x64-vt : really? .. [14:28] Lantizia: or other legal issues, like with libdvdcss which circumvents some drm protections [14:29] So, I got a problem, I got an Iphone 4, IOS 4.1 and the question is, How can I transfer video files from my Ubuntu desktop to my phone? Gtkpod doesnt work well with iphone 4, anyone, please? [14:29] from what i read and see...you should find it with apt-get [14:30] acicula, if whomever you got your mp3 decoding from needs a license then how/why does debian offer it in their main repository? [14:30] Lantizia: anyway source code is not free either, its still owned via copyright, just made available under an open license [14:30] it still makes no sense [14:30] x64-vt: what is the name of the package [14:30] wait [14:30] maybe vodafone-mobile-connect [14:30] or try apt-get search [14:31] that option is absolutely fundamental [14:31] Lantizia: because its not illigal to offer the program or the source code [14:31] rethus, try the ppa [14:31] acicula, then why is it illegal to offer but the program (but the source code is ok) for an encoder? [14:32] ppa:ubuntu/ppa ? [14:32] x64-vt: Thanx , I'll do that [14:32] rethus, yes [14:33] tell me wheter you get it or not, even in PM [14:33] Lantizia: (i think, im not a lawyer that) its not distributed with the distro itself because of the patent conflicts, and because it may be illigal for you to use in whatever country it is that you live in [14:33] hi! [14:33] x64-vt: does this mobile connect s/w comes as operator specific [14:33] Lantizia: well i suppse illigal is the wrong term, you wont go to jail for violating a patent [14:33] did anyone comment on me just now, my line got disconnected [14:33] rethus, but be cautious [14:34] why? [14:34] Lantizia: its basically what SCO does, they claim to own some patents that apply to certain parts of the linux kernel, and for that started sending licensing fee bills to companies known to use it [14:34] not sure, i hope you have both specific and general ones [14:34] x64-vt: let me reboot now and see, i am in windows right now [14:34] we don't like windows users, you know? ahahah === erkan-away is now known as erkan^ [14:35] scriptwarlock: r u there ? [14:35] rethus, sometimes it may go wrong.. why not use the ubuntu default is there some interesting changes on that verison? [14:35] upsla, yep [14:35] x64-vt: i already told you why am in windows, i dont like windows either [14:35] x64-vt: i think u forgotten the ub philosophy. it is not bout hating others, but about respecting others immaterial of what os they r using [14:35] how did the concert go ?

[14:59] raven, or lshw === Squall is now known as Heta [15:00] bars0: isn't grub the default bootloader ? ;) [15:00] no [15:00] akssps011: maybe he wants to boot linux from windows bootloader xd [15:01] akssps011: so bootloader is obligatory? Even if there's only one system on the machine? [15:01] I'm having a hard time setting up monit on ubuntu server - I want monit to start mysqld, for example, not upstart. I also have both /etc/init.d/mysql and /etc/init/mysql.conf. Is there an article somewhere I should read?

[15:12] well it might be if its necessary [15:13] Hello Everyone! [15:13] ZykoticK9: thanks a Hundred......... [15:13] hmm [15:14] Hi there. I've plugged in a new internal harddrive into my computer. It mounts under /media as 9vuh38h3-923br937b8f01 (or similar). How do I have it mount under my desired location? === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [15:14] When you login into a ubuntu shell, there is the message "you have no mail" where is this call set? I don't see anything in bashrc or profile, even pointing me in the right direction is very much appreciated [15:14] @sacarlson: i've made an apt-get uninstall ... and now ? [15:14] how do i purge ? [15:14] ;) [15:14] tev there is update script that does that on login [15:15] mm I don't see any thing related to it. [15:15] EagleCZ: what is it we will be loosing if the partition is deleted, I'm not very good at ferensic get data out of broken disks, but with enuf effort it can be done [15:15] tev : yeah yeah its called something arb [15:15] its actually a hook [15:15] not a direct call from the script [15:15] it is not broken... i can access it normally... just not via cfdisk [15:16] RC^Tab: mmm a hook inside of bashrc? [15:16] 1 sec [15:16] b00tmaker: I think it's apt-get purge try man apt-get [15:16] it seems to be before bashrc is read cause I still get "you have no mail" and bashrc already has the export MAIL = Maildir [15:17] ZykoticK9 : What do i chose where it says ( Browse through the lists of packages:)??? [15:17] Can anyone suggest which Java IDE works best with ubuntu?

[15:18] ajl4e: probly the cool one from Sun or oricle [15:18] hmmm [15:19] my data is backed up, how do delete the partition and create 2 functional? [15:19] Eagle, i'm not sure. I have no idea what you are doing. Why do you need to download the packages manually? apt should do this automatically, or is this for a system that's not online (is going to give you dependency issues if it is) [15:20] <[R00teR]> no one know to set a password for almanah? [15:20] ello all [15:20] opps I didn't even know what IDE was === fresh is now known as Guest95609 [15:21] ZykoticK9: Yes it is for a system that is not online, and i need to download packages on to my hard disk, [15:21] if ajl4e returns tell them http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/heliosm7 might be better [15:21] mmm that is odd [15:21] motd should get the variables from bashrc [15:22] How do you set configure to allow a user to allow a user to read a file they don't normally have access to. 'i.e. cat /my/protected_file' [15:23] Eagle, that is going to cause problems (with required dependencies) - if you have a working maching (with the same architecture, 32 vs 64bit) you should check out apt-on-cd [something i haven't really used]. Best of luck man. [15:23] hydrian: man chmod [15:24] phemt88, sei Ph3mt? Quello che stava anche in IRCNet ?

This is a transitory file. It is a .pid file. I am using a script to read it's contents but the user the script runs as doesn't have access to the pid file. [15:25] EagleCZ: it's installed by default in desktop System>admininstration>Gparted [15:26] ZykoticK9: I now but its not for long. I just need to get the packages put them on computer fix it up and install everything and the i can get the internet to it.

[15:29] Nanoha: thanks [15:29] np [15:29] EagleCZ: they should all work [15:29] what do you guys think about mint? [15:29] can somone help me install the banshee awn plugin? I cant get it to show up in the banshee exstensions on preferences [15:30] [15:30] Bisu[Shield] Ubuntu is better.... [15:30] Bisu[Shield], I think "mint" is offtopic in this channel ;) [15:30] How do you diagnose if the power supply is able to pump enough juice? I have about 10 usb ports on my rig and only seems to be powering half of them at one time [15:30] how is ubuntu better? [15:30] Bisu[Shield]: since I keep seeing people here talking about mint I guess they must have no support [15:30] ZykoticK9: I now but its not for long. I just need to get the packages put them on computer fix it up and install everything and the i can get the internet to it. [15:31] Bisu[Shield]: Support [15:31] Bisu[Shield], your question is offtopic for this channel - you could try in ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic if you wish. [15:31] hey, i was wondering if some of the problems i've been seeing are related to my graphics card/drivers? I have to enable the extra effects in compiz everytime i reboot and yet some of the options just aren't shown in the menu at all. I've also been seeing slightly twitchy videos in firefox === juxta_ is now known as VK5VZI === phemt88 is now known as phemt888 [15:33] neiz: you could invest in a hub with an external power source. a good idea regardless [15:33] sacarlson: i need to create a second partition of ext3 format for my phone... should it be a primary or extended partition? [15:33] I have a 5750 ati graphics card [15:33] hey guys [15:33] Bisu[Shield] Ask questions relating problems........... [15:33] where can know more about linux coffe machine? can i use it to make tea? [15:33] sacarlson: I'm just running 'cat /var/run/mysql/mysql.pid' to get the mysqld's PID. MySQLD pid file's permissions are 0640:mysql:mysql. So my monitoring script user (nagios) cannot read the .pid file [15:34] pelo, regarding the missing stuff in compiz try installing the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package. Regarding having to set it each time you boot up, i remember this issue a long time ago and installing fusion-icon fixed it for me YMMV. [15:34] EagleCZ: If you have no plans to make more than 3 partitions than it make no difference [15:34] I think I may have found the command [15:34] JabberWalkie, can u tell me briefly it is difficult for me understand please [15:34] kuuki, sorry, I gotta head out [15:34] sacarlson: ok thanks again for help, you are a saviour ^^ [15:34] EagleCZ: you max out at 4 primary partitions , if you want more than 4 then use the other [15:34] goltoof: In addition to the port's on the mobo, I have a powered usb hub. Works fine, but upon plugging the hub into the mobo, it is a tossup as to whether or not it will be detected [15:35] do you know the compiz-fusion-plugins-extra package terminal command? [15:35] just follow the directions and you should do fine [15:35] pelo, "sudo apg-get install compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" [15:35] for some reason I think it's attributed to the ATI graphics card because it runs on opengl, and from what i've been hearing that's quite problematic [15:35] thanks, will try that now [15:35] JabberWalkie,have u tried it [15:35] this is serious please tell me [15:36] kuuki, yeah [15:36] is that coffe machine thingyis real or just imagination? [15:36] kuuki, it works just fine [15:36] pelo, it's VERY likely to be an issue with ATI (though I'm not saying it is) - I don't even bother helping people with ATI issues, I view it as a waste of time personally. [15:36] pelo: ati in general is problematic, with linux. invest in nvidia insted, if you can [15:36] ok thnaks i will fight with it,jabberwalkie [15:37] yea, i just built the PC recently on AMD board, so dumping ATI will mean i'll have to dump the entire system if i want to run crossfire [15:38] Does anyone know if Midi files over 10 tracks will play in Ubuntu?

I can't get it to work on my system (midi is posted in that topic) [15:41] Hi! Is something wrong with ubuntu repositories / mirrors? I am getting 404 errors when trying to get for example http://en.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//dists/lucid/main/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 [15:42] (Which, apparently aptitude would want to download when running an 'aptitude update') [15:42] albi: two // in address is wrong [15:42] mmm 404 here too [15:42] albu: ubuntu/dists/lucid [15:43] abli: Seems to be down from here, but most of the site is up - http://en.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/ [15:43] maybe it's a discontinued package.

I can't unlock the Login Screen Settings, clicking Unlock doesn't bring up the password box. When I login all that opens is the wallpaper and a small terminal.

I can't alt-tab between anything or move windows with [15:44] day #2 [15:44] hydrian: I'm using Timidity from the repos. Also it plays all midi fine unless it has a certain number of tracks (tested with aplay) === unforgiven512 is now known as unforgiven512_ === thichlinux is now known as Guest95976 [15:45] goltoof, you mean using vnc? [15:45] or at the console? [15:45] compdoc: no, at the pc [15:45] goltoof, sounds like it's is logging into the xterm option instead of gnome - something that is selected after you click your username at the GDM screen, session at the bottom - be sure it is set to ubuntu-desktop [15:45] goatse.fr === unforgiven512_ is now known as unforgiven512 [15:46] so I downloaded the extra effects for compiz, but whenever I click the extra effects it says "searching for drivers" and I click to enable, but after opening the appearance/visual effects it's back on no effects [15:46] goatse.cx [15:46] goltoof: try create a new temp user and see if you login to that if all is well [15:46] goatse.fr [15:46] hydrian: Can send output of "aconnect -o" if you like. [15:46] ZykoticK9: i have no such option, at login it only lets me enter a username and pwd, doesn't default anymore [15:46] goltoof, for that i have no idea - good luck man. [15:46] Trу meatspin.com [15:47] most curious thing is not being able to unlock Login settings, which i think is what started this [15:47] besides the update [15:47] Gaming4JC, no, it appears that of the en_* variants, en_US is missing.

[15:50] goltoof, Im think the hidden files in the home directory - but not sure which [15:50] if i get back to where it's defaulting to my username that MIGHT turn things back to normal [15:50] rubbs,thanks [15:50] goltoof: sounds like some theme file or something is mest up in your present /home/user account, a new account creation will setup all defaults, if that works you can just move the defaults into your bad account or the reverse [15:50] kuuki: pressing alt+ctrl+f6 takes you into a virtual console [15:51] kuuki: the F7 console is where the GUI lives ;) [15:51] sacarlson: sounds like a lot of work :( [15:51] goltoof: Is this a problem with auto-login?

[16:08] i think not in the linux kernel [16:08] have you ever wondered why Debian only uses even version numbers? :P [16:09] didnt know [16:09] i thought all kernel have 1 week merge window follwed by 7-9 rc [16:09] smallfoot-, sure but upgrading kernels is beyond the scope of the channel. [16:10] no one knows where login settings are kept in gconf-editor? [16:10] toehio2: The deamon starts a new process for each ssh session, you should be able to kill the process or cancel it from the client machine [16:10] A question, delete stuff in \home in .ecryptfs safe for deletion advice? [16:10] goltoof: this is a busy channel. Ask your question if you did not get a response and be patient :) [16:10] rusty149: I don't have access to the client machine. Every time I kill the sftp process on the server, it looks like the client just starts a new one === yen-thao is now known as y-t [16:11] smallfoot-: yes, but odd version numbers are the "testing" ones while even focus on stabilization [16:11] goltoof: login settings like password? or do you mean like .themes .bash?? .ssh ..... many more [16:11] Oo [16:11] Jeruvy: fyi !patience is easier :P [16:11] smallfoot-: anyway, if you want to stay on the bleeding edge, you'll have to learn how to compile a few things [16:11] Join #sparkfun [16:12] goltoof: I know thanks. [16:12] sacarlson: no, currently i can't unlock my login settings to make it so it defaults to my username [16:12] Hi what should I do here: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY [16:12] goltoof: you mean the 'gdm' config tool settings button? [16:12] how can I add the public key [16:12] toehio2: you can turn ssh off or temporarily disable that user account [16:13] sacarlson: System > Admin > Login nothing shows up when i hit "Unlock" [16:13] goltoof: maybe your keyring? [16:13] #ubuntu-indonesia [16:13] sorry, last one was for dr willis [16:14] goltoof: that sounds like the sudoer settings [16:14] Is any who got that [16:14] *there [16:14] sacarlson: how so? [16:14] Hi everyone. Brand new user - someone set up a system before me, and then left the company. i've inherited the box. [16:14] reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for 184-253-183-186.pools.spcsdns.net [184.253.183.186] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!..........what does this mean [16:14] i'm trying to set up an SVN server - following this guide: [16:14] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-subversion-with-web-access-on-ubuntu/ === tont is now known as tont[SRU] [16:15] But i'm stuck at the Location bit ... not sure what to enter [16:15] (Location and SVNPath) [16:15] Dr_Willis: System > Admin > Login nothing shows up when i hit "Unlock" [16:15] Hi, Does anyone know where motd-update gets the env variables from? it seems to luanch before .bashrc is called. [16:16] something weird is going on, my aptitude is constantly freezing up [16:16] goltoof: your user has sudo rights? you could just do a 'gsudo whatever' [16:16] NET||abuse: try dpkg-recopnfigure [16:16] it'll say it's unpacking something, or stopping a service [16:16] then it just stops responding for ages. does nothing [16:16] wodi5, Private is the new home, and .ecrpytfs would have important config stuff and keys. [16:16] goltoof: again I'm just guessing, can you do sudo -s ? [16:17] is there a way to go back from a previous date before you bork something up with ubuntu [16:17] Can anyone help me find and enter the path to my SVN repo? [16:17] adub: no. Nexenta OS has that, and is based on Ubuntu. [16:17] (but it is not Linux) [16:17] oh [16:17] ill just reinstall [16:17] sacarlson: yes [16:18] goltoof: ok then I must be wrong about that [16:18] sacarlson: npr running things sudo, i'd just like to switch login settings even though i'm not sure that'll help [16:18] Dr_Willis: yes, i got sudo rights [16:19] have any of you heard about the HTC HD2 ubuntu 10.10 patch? [16:20] Jeruvy: thanks, is the stuff in Private safe for deletion! Need more disc space (Free-space) got a pop-up saying you only got this size of amount left.Or is there any application that handle that like Ccleaner for the windows [16:20] is it real ubuntu, with installable/usable packages etc, as it seems not to have unity [16:20] is ubuntu 10.10 better than 10.04 [16:20] i know a dumb question but seriously i had fits out of 10.10 on upgrading [16:20] when I login into a shell, I get the motd first then it shows "you have no mail" where does that get the variable from ? cause I have export MAIL set in /etc/skel/.bashrc $HOME/.bashrc but motd seems to execute before .bashrc is read. [16:21] WaltherFI: Unity seems to need X.org composite, which mobile phones might not have support for in their display drivers [16:21] tev: PAM? [16:21] thewanderer1: so that's why the demo videos of it say it has 10.10 but it still uses the desktop solution from the original NBR? [16:22] thewanderer1: mm so I have to set the MAIL variable in PAM? :/ [16:22] WaltherFI: I was just guessing, it might not be the reason [16:22] morning all. quick question: i'm working on a bash script to calculate the length of an mp3 file, and i've goten it to where it calculates the total seconds (example: 225.55 seconds long). how can i convert that to minutes:seconds format? [16:22] tev: you should probably revise your PAM config and tweak it to your need [16:23] hi just wondering how can i'd like to setup ubuntu onto a machine but would like it to behave a bit like a live cd i.e. nothing's saved to the hard drive the system restores itself to the original settings [16:23] how can i do this? [16:23] DJCharlie: uhm. ever heard of modulo? [16:23] mmm seems odd. [16:23] thewanderer1: no, can't say i have. got an example? [16:24] :( [16:24] magick [16:24] Hi, I can't get Ubuntu to empty my trash there is one file it says "there was an error deleting" each time. There is nothing in /home/myusername/.local/share/Trash/files [16:24] doesnt exist [16:24] ? [16:24] =/ [16:24] wodi5: I would stick toremoving stuff in your private folder then. [16:24] DJCharlie: echo $[21%2]; ringing any bells? [16:24] organise: very interesting idea! [16:24] DJCharlie: if not, find out what modulo is (Wikipedia is your friend) and you'll have an idea when you do [16:25] thewanderer1: /etc/login.defs [16:25] tev: good, glad you found it [16:26] I just had Rackspace upgrade to 2.6.35.4 kernel. i then upgraded to Lucid 10.04. getty has subsequently gone crazy and is filling up the syslog every second. See http://dpaste.com/313426/ for example syslog error message. Thanks! :) === awk is now known as Guest98347 [16:26] * go^ Anyone has 2 videocard on laptop and can choose which one to use? Qualcuno ha due schede video sul portatile e riesce a scegliere con Linux quale delle due usare? (io Intel+ATi) [amsg] [16:27] go^: Please don't send amsgs. [16:27] when i try to use startup disk creator, i am able to select the iso with the dialog, but it doesnt appear so i cant create the disk. any ideas? [16:28] can anybody help my tty issue. init: tty3 main process (30601) terminated with status 1 -- init: tty3 main process ended, respawning [16:28] DrMrHorse: select the partition, not the drive [16:28] WaltherFI: kk [16:28] DrMrHorse: Is it an Ubuntu image? [16:28] rusty149: yes [16:28] it is filling up syslog quickly [16:28] Join #sparkun [16:28] DrMrHorse: stupidly enough, for a usb stick that has only one partition, it still shows the partition and the disk separately and you have to pick from the list [16:28] okay [16:28] tagno25: please do not do that [16:28] didnt work [16:29] it wont let me select the iso [16:29] hey free shit for anyone who joins #sparkfun [16:29] !ops maxster [16:29] DrMrHorse: is the .iso file corrupted? [16:29] bah [16:29] DrMrHorse: MAximise window to see entire window [16:29] rusty149: no go [16:29] WaltherFI: lemmie md5 it [16:30] maxster: do not do that here [16:30] how do I pipe a list "Discovered open port 23/tcp on 192.168.0.4" into a file to look like "192.168.0.4:23"? [16:30] jrib sorry, just a joke [16:30] no one gets it [16:30] c0ld: you need to parse the output [16:30] maxster: this is not a place for jokes, see channel topic [16:30] maxster: Sorry, but this is a support channel [16:31] you could do it with awk or python [16:31] c0ld: you use awk for that [16:31] never used awk I dont see how it would give me that result [16:32] c0ld: there's quite many awk howtos available, but generally awk + print + $x $y [16:32] Is there any watermark program available in ubuntu??? [16:33] karthick87: imagemagick [16:33] karthick87: e.g. http://www.selonen.org/arto/netbsd/watermarks.html [16:33] go^, the only method I know is to choose the graphics card in the BIOS [16:33] thewanderer1: sorry, just can't wrap my head around modulo. the main problem i'm getting is the fact that my sample is 225.55 seconds. the .55 is throwing me off. === [WF]Bauldrick is now known as Bauldrick [16:33] iso is screwed, thanks guys [16:33] BluesKaj, can't do it with my BIOS :( [16:34] go^, why not ? [16:34] DrMrHorse: try torrenting it, and get the .torrent from ubuntu.com [16:34] WaltherFI: im way ahead of you :) [16:35] BluesKaj, hasn't this options...my bios hasn't options about videocards (I've got HP DV6 3114 SL) [16:35] DrMrHorse: hm? in terms of what, i'd like to know [16:35] im already torrenting it [16:35] any other areas i cant comment on [16:35] go^: switcheroo or gpuswitcheroo does what you want [16:35] popey: Thankyou, but i want the watermark to be placed in middle of the image..How? [16:35] !switcheroo [16:35] go^, check peripherals in the BIOS , it should list them [16:35] thewanderer1: something is very wrong with /etc/pam.conf and /etc/login.defs [16:35] karthick87: I suspect that guide will help you [16:36] acicula, do you mean VGA_switcheroo kernel module? it doesn't work :( [16:36] in /etc/pam.conf it states that the variable is read from /etc/login.defs [16:36] go^: thats the one [16:36] but I still get "you have no mail" message when I login [16:36] hello. i've got a laptop running 10.10. one day booting it up it just halts at "uncompresson error" immediately after the bootloader [16:36] go^: what does not work, and what hardware are you using [16:37] no updates were installed at this time, the machine was not physically dropped and the hard drive does not appear to be operating abnormally nor making any bad sounds. what may have caused this? [16:37] Slightly offtopic, but any tablets with capacitive screen that runs / installs Ubuntu available? [16:37] Intel (on i3 CPU) and ATI (mobility radeon 5470 HD) [16:37] acicula, vga_switcheroo kernel module doesn't work..doesn't switch [16:38] what does happen [16:38] trying previous kernels still results in "uncompression error" [16:38] nsgn: at grub, click edit line and remove the "quiet splash" for more output [16:38] I aquired a rack mount server (older P3 1.2Ghz w/ 1.5GB RAM 36G SCSI HD) and I want to let my kids play with it. What version should I install? [16:38] hi just wondering how can i'd like to setup ubuntu onto a machine but would like it to behave a bit like a live cd i.e. nothing's saved to the hard drive the system restores itself to the original settings [16:38] JuJuBee: How old are your kids? Can they handle CLI only? [16:38] JuJuBee: given it has plenty of ram any ubuntu-server edition will work [16:39] nsgn: could be a hardware issue, run memtest and then use livecd to check the hard disk. [16:39] High School Seniors, and yes cli is fine [16:39] acicula: only 1.5 GB RAM [16:39] Jeruvy, did so. it still hits absolutely nothing but that screen [16:39] JuJuBee: Then just the standard ubuntu server ought to do it. [16:39] JuJuBee: Let them install it [16:39] JuJuBee: yeah thats quite a lot if yoou do not run guis/browsers or media players [16:40] OK [16:40] Jeruvy, and memtest wont even start from the install. it just hits an insta-reboot [16:40] JuJuBee: or at least a lot if all you are doing is some http/lamp/sql experimenting [16:40] anybody kno hw to setup ./adb [16:40] i wish it would give me feedback on what type of hardware issue this is [16:40] nsgn: that is a bad sign. [16:40] hey guys, could i write a script to ignore middle click duplicates? [16:40] Jeruvy, sign of what though? [16:40] i just want to know what to target [16:41] nsgn: again, click edit on the grub and remove "quiet splash" [16:41] nsgn: it'll give more output [16:41] nsgn: well it sounds like your hard disk is dying/dead. [16:41] WaltherFI, again, as stated above, i did that. it gives no more feedback [16:41] Jeruvy: or memory [16:41] i cd to android tools dir then typed ./adb it says taht no such command [16:41] nsgn: boot from livecd and try that memtest [16:41] Does anyone know if MAIL in /etc/login.defs supports Maildir? [16:41] WaltherFI; or memory, or fsb... :) [16:41] nsgn: if it runs fine, your memory is ok and mobo etc also [16:42] bencahill: That would be really hard unless you modified the mouse driver. If you stay out of the driver you'd have to figure out what the double click did and then undo it everytime. [16:42] WaltherFI, yeah. i'll do that. burning out a 10.10 right now [16:42] nsgn: I thought you said you ran livecd and no go... [16:43] Jeruvy, no. i've removed quiet splash, tried various kernels at boot menu and tried memtest from boot menu. all from hard drive. all fail. burning out livecd right now [16:43] bencahill: what is a middle click duplicate? [16:43] edbian: The problem is that the mouse has a hardware problem, and unless you are very very careful when middle-clicking, you will often get two or three clicks almost instantly (I only middle-click in ff, so it only really needs to be fixed for that) [16:43] ne2k: He middle clicks twice in a row on accident [16:43] nsgn: sounds good. [16:43] ne2k: see above ^^ [16:43] Any capacitive tablets/pads available that run/install Ubuntu? [16:44] bencahill: get a better mouse ;-) [16:44] bencahill: Can you change the settings in System -> Preferences for double click speed? Will that help? [16:44] ne2k: this one's great for what I do... [16:44] Does anyone know if MAIL in /etc/login.defs supports Maildir? [16:44] edbian: let me check, but i don't think that would affect middle mouse, and not affect opening multiple tabs when clicking on a link... [16:44] bencahill: I presume you're talking about emulating the accessibility feature in windows that allows you to ignore repeated key and mouse presses within a certain time? this would be a useful thing to have in xinput [16:45] bencahill: That gui is the easiest way to edit the driver (obviously it's very limiting) [16:45] ne2k: yes, if it could ignore repeated presses, in say, an 1/8th of a second, that would do the trick [16:45] bencahill: wherever dwell click and so on are managed, that would be the place to write the feature [16:46] edbian: what gui? [16:46] Hi, I got black screen on boot today after some updates yesterday... viewing the log file i can see that xorg was updated... i tried to reset the xorg.conf without sucess... any ideas what i should do? [16:46] How to convert .mkv format to .avi? [16:46] edbian: oh, system > preferences > mouse ? [16:46] bencahill: yeah [16:46] karthick87: try avidemux [16:46] edbian: ah [16:47] edbian, ne2k: I suppose since my problem is only with ff, I'll jump over there to see if they have any suggestions :) [16:47] hi. How I can show my swap? [16:47] Should I use NTFS for my Deja-Vu / Back In Time backup drive, or would it be safer to use Ext4? I'm worried about the complex hardlinking. [16:47] bencahill: perhaps you can mess with some settings in firefox [16:47] bencahill: ah, right. yes, if it's application specific then it can probably be fixed in that application [16:48] bencahill: however, I suspect the feature you mentioned would be of use to people with certain types of disabilities, so if you fancy writing it, I'm sure it could be included [16:48] ne2k: it's not app specific, but ff is the only place i middle click (open link in new tab) [16:48] barabashka: by show do you mean show how much you have left? [16:48] ne2k: well, i've never programmed (unless php counts) :) [16:48] bencahill: why not just control+left click instead? [16:48] bencahill: php counts, basic does not [16:48] ne2k: it's easier [16:48] bencahill: php and basic both count, but not much ;-) [16:49] ne2k: yeah ;) [16:49] bencahill: you could make anything open links in a new tab in ff. Maybe there is some other mouse button you could you or something === oCean_ is now known as oCean [16:49] bencahill: the best thing to do would be to write an extension that stops a tab being opened if there is already a tab with the same URL in it [16:49] edbian: well, this mouse only has three :) [16:49] ne2k: yes, that would do the trick perfectly [16:49] bencahill: :) [16:50] bencahill: call it "coalesce tabs" [16:50] Should I use NTFS for my Deja-Vu / Back In Time backup drive, or would it be safer to use Ext4? I'm worried about the complex hardlinking. [16:50] *sigh* if only the mirrors could put out at more than 1.46MBps [16:50] ehlo [16:50] ne2k: okay, I'll see if I can do that, and if I have any probs, I'll jump on the ff channel, as it's kind of ot here :D [16:50] anybody have NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M? [16:51] bencahill: I would suggest that you give some sort of visual feedback (such as pulsing the existing tab [16:51] nsgn: *sigh* if only I had more d/l than 1Mbps (yes, 1Mb, or 128KB) [16:51] bencahill: flashing the existing tab, rather than just silently ignoring it [16:51] ne2k: yes, good point [16:51] appleswitch: if it hardlinks, I'd suggest Ext4. I'm not sure NTFS supports hardlinking. [16:52] rubbs: Thanks [16:52] bencahill, hah. ouch [16:52] Hi, I got black screen on boot today after some updates yesterday... viewing the log file i can see that xorg was updated... i tried to reset the xorg.conf without sucess... any ideas what i should do? [16:53] bencahill, what ISP? [16:53] x [16:53] ghisen|home: change ur xorg driver to vesa u can get a desktop back for now.. troubleshoot more from there [16:54] appleswitch: np.

[16:58] ok [16:58] IdleOne: riiight [16:58] sam16: gnome is probably slightly faster. Not a significant difference in my opinion though [16:58] Sengoku on a 32-bit machine? [16:58] Sengoku, install ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:58] whoooa. ok. booting live cd gives "uncompression error". wtf [16:58] yup thanks dude [16:58] sam16: Xfce or Lxde is fastest [16:59] sam16: Then gnome, and slowest due to graphics is KDE [16:59] KDE is extremely horrid in a large number of ways [16:59] (note: LXDE is many times lighter and faster than XFCE) [16:59] ne2k: that's your opinion [16:59] edbian: it is [16:59] AHAHA and its totally totally flunking memtest. wow [16:59] sam16: Ultimate Edition 2.7 has all of them to try, you might want to download the LiveDVD just to test.

I downloaded the drivers for my printer at this link: http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010670.asp However, after I downloaded and unpacked the package from Canon, neither does Synaptic, Archive Manager or the printer gui recognize the content inside so that the drivers can be installed. I ca [17:28] lled Canon, and after some minutes on the phone they couldn't help me as they said they didn't have any support for Linux. However, on their webpage, it says that the driver is compatible and tested on Ubuntu. Then my question is, what am I doing wrong since I am not able to install it. I have used Synaptic, Archive Manager and Wine to install several programs already. I am not experienced... [17:28] ...in Terminal, so I try to avoid it yet so I don't mess up the OS before I am able to also revers and fix the errors I make in that case. Can anyone help me with how to install the drivers?

Please use #ubuntu+1 [17:51] "Operation Linux"was the name chosen to describe the latest crackdown on ETA, carried out by the Guardia Civil of Spain [17:51] hmm [17:51] geez man, glutton for punnishment.. he's using wubi, and he's using 11.04...lol [17:51] ETA = vasque terrorist [17:51] no, i have 10.10 [17:51] 11.04 is to hmm... gnatty for me [17:51] xD [17:51] KM0201: lol [17:51] !ot | newbie|4 [17:51] newbie|4: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:51] any thoughts [17:52] tp_: you said, 11, sorry. [17:52] ocz vertex 2, btw. very good drive [17:52] fuck, 10.04, i said [17:53] !language | tp_ [17:53] tp_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:53] tp_: you said ubuntu 11 at first.. [17:53] tp_: Watch your language. You said 11 before, I was just apoligizing for providing incorrect information. [17:53] tp_: i have netbook, ubunto 11 installed as wubi <-- :o [17:53] anyways, not sure the problem myself [17:53] :/ [17:53] hmm. anyway [17:54] should I be on some other site to get help with my issue? [17:54] is 11 fundamentally different? [17:54] tp_: other than its not stable?.. yeah [17:54] and not finished [17:54] amy_: so what is your problem again [17:54] ok, since usb is no longer an option, how could i get some files to a computer that has no floppy, cd, usb or internet? [17:54] s [17:54] amy_: sys- admin- printing should be all you need in most cases [17:54] can't hook up my printer. Not on the list in system, admin, printers [17:54] Sean93: does it have pci? [17:54] Sean93: set up IP over serial lane [17:55] so, anyone have ssd and wubi installation? [17:55] thewanderer1, thanks for the free hl. [17:55] WaltherFI, yes [17:55] Sean93: of course you need Linux at both ends for that :P [17:55] Sean93: laptop r desktop? [17:55] Sean93: send over serial cable [17:55] evening. [17:55] Sean93: oops, rj45 i meant [17:55] :/ [17:55] tp_: wubi is kinda like voodoo, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and even when ti works, you're left wondering what exactly happened [17:55] thewanderer1, i have linux at both ends, how do i do that? [17:55] Serialk: sorry :D [17:55] Sean93: or pci ethernet [17:55] it works well for me [17:56] tp_: well, good luck :) [17:56] !works4me | tp_ [17:56] i just wanna know that my ssd life will be big [17:56] Sean93: first, this is going to be very painful, so if you have any other means, for example PCI network cards, use them [17:56] !worksforme | tp_ [17:56] tp_: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [17:56] tp_: wubi is meant for testing, not for long term usage [17:56] cause my main win 7 os has trim, and as i know trim is not supported in wubi conf [17:56] When I'm in PulseAudio Volume Control (installed from software center) and I go to the input tab, there is a right and left slider for the microphone. Why? Why is there two for the mic? Reason I ask is for Skype to work on my Acer Aspire One netbook, I have to have ONE of the sliders @ 0% and the other @ 100%. It doesn't matter which, but they both cannot be 100%. As a result, I wondered why there's even two to begin with. [17:56] gobbe: unfortunately, to many people do not understand that. [17:57] tp_: Do you see any trim options available when you run hdparm on your hd device when running under Wubi? [17:57] rj45 is ethernet? [17:57] I tried to go through HP . said i need a "helper" application. go to preferences and change. change what?? [17:57] wubi is meant for simplicity [17:57] tp_: you should install from lvecd or usb [17:57] Sean93: yes. [17:57] Sean93: yep, ethernet [17:57] it doesnt have an ethernet port [17:57] Hey guys, I was wondering if it is at all possible to install the Lucid Netbook Remix interface on a computer running 10.10? [17:57] i have installed os, it works [17:57] WaltherFI, bencahill, KM0201: First thing I tried was just to click places -> homefolder -> oab -> Downloads -> UK (extracted folder from canon) -> 32-bit_Driver -> Debian -> and then double clicked the file. Package installer jumps up, but after some seconds the "status" changes to: "Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'". And inside the 64 bit folder there is only RPM drivers... [17:57] Sean93: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2820?page=0,1 [17:57] thewanderer1: /etc/login.defs MAIL_DIR $HOME/Maildir/ or MAIL_DIR Maildir does not seem to work for the mail part in motd. So I looked at /etc/pam.conf and it said to set it in /etc/login.defs :/ chicken and egg? [17:57] so wubi is ok [17:57] Arachon: aren't they the same? [17:57] tp_: not really... you should hang out here and see people doing complete reinstalls because wubi wrecked a system... i'd suggest you really look into wubi, before proclaiming it "ok" [17:58] tp_: it's meant for testing. it might be simple in some cases, so is just giving littlebit space and installing there [17:58] oab: oh. no support for 64bit debians [17:58] tev: sorry but I have no means of checking that right now, I'm on Debian currently [17:58] its meant by using [17:58] oab: then you'll have to download the 64bit source and compile the driver... 64bit is awesome! [17:58] tp_: Ubuntu 10.10 has full support for trim, the issue here is whether it is able to use those when running under WUBI, which uses a 'virtual parition' on your NTFS parition. So do you see any trim options available when you run hdparm on your hd device when running under Wubi? [17:58] you lame [17:58] Arachon: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592796 [17:58] i am getting usr/local/glassfish-3.0.1/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/server.policy (permission denied) warning when running netbeans. how can i get rid og this? [17:58] the files im trying to get on there are the b43 wireless firmware files, after that i can use wireless for everything [17:59] not a virtual partition. image drive [17:59] root.disk [17:59] tp_: same thing [17:59] tp_: Thats what I meant. [17:59] thewanderer1: :) thx anyway .. nobody else seems to know about pam and login options :) [17:59] Sean93: thats detailed quite well on the broadcom page [17:59] WaltherFI: How do I find out whether I have 64 or 32 bit OS installed? I tried to locate it yesterday to no avail yet. [17:59] no, you are complete lamers [17:59] !broadcom | Sean93 [17:59] Sean93: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [17:59] lol [17:59] is there somewhere here that i can get one on one help? [17:59] !ask | amy_ [17:59] amy_: 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. :-) [17:59] KM0201: I don't think I am competent for any driver compilation :D [18:00] oab:system - admin- system monitor [18:00] actionparsnip: So the old "real" interface is not available.... How come? Isn't it possible to add a repository containing it? [18:00] oab: well, no disrespect, i'd say you're likely SOL, but i've not paid much attention to your problem [18:00] KM0201, i have done it before, the problem is actually getting the files on to the pc [18:00] amy_: best just to repeat your question every ten minutes or so. people come in and out all the time. [18:00] oab: also, it told you that wrong architecture, i386 instead of x64 so you have 64 [18:00] Sean93: can you use a USB? [18:01] KM0201, no, no usb, floppy or cd [18:01] tp_: see your pm, You're muted. [18:01] KM0201: only ethernet avail [18:01] KM0201: SOL? [18:01] WaltherFI: well if he has ethernet available, install from the repos [18:01] KM0201: what was the method to send over ethernet again? [18:01] KM0201: he had no internet [18:01] oh. [18:02] there is no ethernet port either [18:02] Sean93: do you have access to IDE/SATA interfaces? [18:02] WaltherFI: well, if he has internet now, why not just use the internet to install? [18:02] i need help installing a HP printer [18:02] KM0201: different machine [18:02] ok, now i understand [18:03] amy_: So have you checked the printing preferences from system - administration - printing? [18:03] KM0201: lol :) [18:03] thewanderer1, do you mean hosting the harddrive in this pc? and transferring the files? [18:03] Sean93: yup [18:03] yes [18:03] Sean93: or cd drive [18:03] amy_: nearly no printer need separate drivers or configuration on ubuntu [18:03] bencahill: quite the situation... [18:03] amy_: clicked 'add' and searched through the list? [18:03] KM0201: yes, quite curious indeed :) [18:03] what do i do if my model is not listed [18:03] that is problematic... [18:03] amy_: what model is it? [18:03] how do I remove headers/footers on firefox printout? This dialog shown everywhere where you can chose seems not to exist on Kubuntu [18:03] amy_: try the Generic one [18:03] you can only adjust margins/paper size [18:03] deskjet f4580 [18:04] amy_: in most cases, it works [18:04] amy_: HP printers are great in Linux as HP make Linux drivers [18:04] BajK: firefox preferences [18:04] Its an old hobo build that is about 15 years old, i couldnt resist :P === lysek is now known as Guest13801 [18:04] Sean93: well... first how did you install ubuntu on the machine? [18:04] would the one that highlights be the generic one? [18:04] amy_: when you connect it and power the printer, does the OS react? [18:04] WaltherFI: where? I cant find this option === lysek_ is now known as lysek [18:05] KM0201, hosted the drive in this pc [18:05] sorry, what is the OS [18:05] does anybody have knowledge on usb headsets on ubuntu? [18:05] amy_: are you sure it's f4580? [18:05] amy_: the OS is the operating system, in this case, Ubuntu [18:05] amy_: http://blog.professorcoruja.com/2010/08/install-hp-deskjet-f4580-on-ubuntu-1004.html [18:05] amy_: I see no HP printer of that name in existence [18:05] Sean93: so do the same thing... host drive on your machine, download the .deb files/wireless drivers you need, then move back to old machine [18:05] WaltherFI: Couldn't find any info inside System Monitor saying whether I have 32 or 64 bit. Says only 10.04 (lucid). [18:05] amy_: there is a J4580 [18:05] !google | amy_ [18:05] :D [18:05] amy_: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [18:05] Gaming4JC: not helpful [18:05] awww ubottu [18:05] lame :( [18:05] oab: run: uname -m i686 == 32bit x86_64 == 64bit [18:06] f4580 is the model on the box [18:06] popey: That blog post explains how to install on Lucid [18:06] :) === ortsvorsteher_ is now known as ortsvorsteher [18:06] is there anybody who could help me with my usb headset? [18:06] amy_: ah, found it [18:06] KM0201, forgot to transfer the files at the time, got everything rebuilt and was like -_- [18:06] Gaming4JC: still no excuse for throwing google at new users [18:06] amy_: what is the output of: lsb_release -c please? [18:06] popey: Agreed, sorry. [18:06] :s [18:07] amy_: Please disregard my former ubottu trigger. [18:07] :) [18:07] Sean93: well you have to be realistic [18:07] amy_: press CTRL+ALT+T and copy the command to the terminal, hit ENTER, what is output? [18:07] actionparsnip where do i find this lsb_release [18:07] the machine has no internet, no usb, no cd, how exactly do you expect to transfer files? [18:07] KM0201: network storage, like dropbox ;) [18:07] KM0201, true [18:08] actionparsnip: the machine can't get any network access, to access network storage === manuel__ is now known as Manni [18:08] KM0201: well then its double screwed, surely ethernet exists [18:08] amy_: Applications - accessories - terminal [18:08] actionparsnip: apparently not, from what he's said thus far [18:08] amy_: type in that command [18:08] i need some help with the printing utility [18:08] how can i see what driver is being used ? [18:08] фукер [18:09] хуйло [18:09] tp_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:09] tp_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:09] пидарас [18:09] tp_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:09] amy_: and remember, do not ever type in commands without knowing what it does [18:09] KM0201: get him/her to run: sudo lshw -C network i bet it does, but it'll be behind a blanking plate [18:09] !ru | tp_ [18:09] tp_: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [18:09] WaltherFI: thats gonna be tricky if the user has never used Linux before [18:09] actionparsnip: its not connected to a network, it's only access is wireless, which is not working... [18:09] I installed using WUBI on a Windows 7 64 bit machine, and it didn't let me choose whether I wanted to install 32bit or 64bit. actionparsnip: what should the result be? [18:10] actionparsnip: still, better to inform him/her about the dangers of terminal [18:10] KM0201: then another network which has wired is needed [18:10] WaltherFI: true [18:10] actionparsnip: lol... i give up... usually you're on top of things, i think today just isn't your day [18:10] oab: wubi is not intended for regular usage and it has its issues [18:10] KM0201: usb storage? [18:11] actionparsnip: usb doesn't work [18:11] cd rom is broken [18:11] i said this all earlier [18:11] Sean93: so can you move the disk and access it via the host system? [18:11] i went to applications accessories terminal and did ctl alt t, nothing happened [18:11] actionparsnip: so he's either trolling, or has a really serious problem [18:11] lol [18:11] KM0201: take out internal drive, slam it in another PC and copy the data to or from [18:11] actionparsnip: thats what i said 10min ago [18:11] KM0201: Ethernet? (Share files over the wire) ^^ [18:11] thewanderer1, yes, seems like the only option [18:11] KM0201: looks like the ONLY option then [18:11] actionparsnip: it prints a line below saying: "uname: extra operand 'i686'". [18:11] Gaming4JC: i'm not gonna repeat myself for the 4th time.. .read above.. HE CANT [18:12] Sean93: SLIP is the alternative, but it's quite slow [18:12] amy_: in terminal, write the command. ctrl alt t is just shortcut for terminal [18:12] oab: no, the command is ONLY: uname -m [18:12] adequate only for some scenarios [18:12] KM0201: eh sorry, that's a pain then. [18:12] oab: the rest was telling you how to interpret the output [18:12] sorry, what was the command again. [18:12] amy_: lsb_release -c [18:13] feisty [18:13] Anyone here familiar with dual boots? I have a machine that had a dualboot with win7 and ubuntu. Well, I wanted to try out Arch Linux and so I partitioned off some memory from the ubuntu partition. And now, GRUB doesn't recognize my other machines and will only boot up Arch. Not sure how to reconfigure GRUb [18:13] WaltherFI: You recommend me to make two partitions and then install Ubuntu from scratch, or can it be installed without making two partitions too? [18:14] inaety: #arch may be more appropriate for your question, or #grub [18:14] amy_: feisty has not been supported since 2008 [18:14] oab: if you want to keep your windows, you need separate partition. if you don't need windows or whatever you have at the moment, you can use the "use entire disk" [18:14] I have got an USB headset with C-Media Sound card in it. It is recognized well and it used to work three days ago. Now it doent play any sound, but it is shown in the pulseaudio volume control list and the volume bars are moving, but there is still no sound. My onboard sound works fine. I also removed the virtual sound device but that also doesnt help. The headset is still okay (tested on another machine). Could anybody help me [18:14] what now? [18:14] inaety: do you still have your ubuntu live cd? [18:14] oab: however, "use entire disk" will erase entire disk [18:14] inaety: i mean #archlinux :) [18:14] !feisty [18:14] Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [18:14] Is there a way to make the screen never lock, go black or do anthing? [18:14] bencahill: alright, i'll see what they say [18:14] actionparsnip: thanks :) The it is 64 bit unfortunatly. Seems like Wubi installs the same as you got already. [18:14] KM0201: yeah. I have ubuntu's and Arch's [18:14] lolcat: preferences - screensaver [18:15] !grub2 | inaety boot the ubuntu live cd, and follow the instructions to restore grub [18:15] inaety boot the ubuntu live cd, and follow the instructions to restore grub: 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 [18:15] KM0201: that's all I have to do? alright thanks man [18:15] inaety: hopefully [18:16] Well fudge it, looks like I'll be going back to 10.4 [18:16] Aw [18:16] KM0201: that document refers to Grub after installing windows though [18:16] Arachon: what is your problem? [18:16] inaety: i know that, but you need to rewrite the mbr w/ grub 2, and update it.. just follow the instructions, and it should get you rolling [18:17] f [18:17] hi everyone, i've just started up a new blog about linux. would anyone like to see it? [18:17] WaltherFI: Hopefully I can make an additional partition inside Win7 now, and then install Ubuntu from scratch afterwards on that partition. [18:17] KM0201: thanks buddy [18:17] !ot |enema [18:17] enema: #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! [18:17] WaltherFI: I was trying to get the 10.4 Netbook interface running under 10.10, but apparently, you can't [18:17] enema: no advertising please [18:17] Arachon: ah, it has been depleted yes [18:17] ok [18:17] what version is current now? [18:18] well if anyone wants to see it, just send me a private message/ [18:18] Arachon: the Unity desktop is the new standard for netbooks [18:18] WaltherFI: "depleted"? [18:18] h [18:18] WaltherFI, actionparsnip, KM0201: What is the end user difference between 10.04 and 10.10? [18:18] WaltherFI: Oh, so they actually delete previous versions? [18:18] oab: hm, loads of visual improvements at least [18:19] No PPAs containing it or anything [18:19] WaltherFI: So you would recommend me to go with 10.10? [18:19] Arachon: no, but the newer versions have different repos [18:19] oab: Some of the Ubuntu-specific applications (Ubuntu Software Centre comes to mind) have been updated. [18:19] Arachon: i think you can add the old desktop manually [18:19] oab: yes, it is stable [18:19] WaltherFI: Well, apparently I can't, that's just it [18:19] oab: 10.10 for sure if you're using it as a desktop. 10.04 if you're doing a server, though. [18:19] So basically there is no advantages with 10.04 over 10.10? [18:20] The old "2D" Netbook interface is available, but not the fully fledged one [18:20] Running it from my laptop. [18:20] Arachon: the old "Netbook remix" desktop interface did not live long [18:20] stupid firefox -.- why is printing in linux such a mess [18:20] oab: 10.04 is supported for 3 years on the desktop, 5 years on the server. 10.10 is supported for 18 months. [18:20] Arachon: so it might be possible they've even deleted it at some point [18:20] why can't i just say PRINT this god damn file to a PDF and WITHOUT ANY MARGINS? no it always puts some marigns here, or a title there and does whatever it wants [18:20] I installed xubuntu-desktop because I was having issues with the system running slow. Now it seems that I need to enter my password to each server configured for passwordless SSH. I understand that not having to do so is a function of gnome-keyring ? Why doesn't it work with XFCE ? [18:20] why do I have about:config if it is overwritten anyway? [18:20] oab: no advantages other than support - and you can install newer versions to gain longer support then === ruben is now known as Guest72545 [18:21] BajK: Watch your language; do you have any specific question? [18:21] oab: so i totally recommend updating to 10.10 for the "basic users" [18:21] xdcc [18:21] WaltherFI: Oh.... But it's still in 10.4, no? [18:21] cognitiaclaeves: no, ssh keys are handled by ssh-agent [18:21] nesv: I just want to print out a formatted html file with pages (21cmx29cm) without any borders, margins, stupid titles or anything else [18:21] But lets say 10.11 is released, is it just a update from update manager onto 10.10 as e.g. OS X 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 or Win 7 SP1 to SP2? [18:21] Arachon: i'm not sure, at least on 9.10 i think [18:21] I can change the "scale" thing, everything but it ALWAYS puts stupid margins arount [18:21] cognitiaclaeves: it is the Xsession's responsibility to launch ssh-agent, and some desktop environments simply do not launch it by default [18:22] good afternoon. i am using ubuntu netbook edition 10.04.1 and would like to add a weather report to the top panel. is there some documentation on how to do this? [18:22] WaltherFI: Well, it *is* in 10.4, this I know for sure, but you're saying that that interface is completely incompatible with 10.10 [18:22] Thanks guys. Then I am repartitioning my harddrive and making a clean install with 10.10 32bit. [18:22] oab: there's not going to be any other versions than .04 and .10 [18:22] BajK: So, what is the issue? If you go File -> Print, you should have to do nothing more than select your printer and click the "Print" button. [18:22] Why is that? [18:22] thewanderer1: Ok. What does gnome-keyring do, then? [18:22] oab: regular releases [18:22] oab: other things come as updates [18:22] nesv: i select print to file, choose a pdf format, and have set my margins to zero and still I got borders. [18:23] cognitiaclaeves: it functions as a part of PAM stack and stores the user's password to unlock his "wallet" - stored passwords for various apps [18:23] Arachon: the old interface was in ubuntu for a little short time and was removed as it wasn't too good [18:23] Arachon: i think it is not quite supported anymore [18:23] BajK: Which application are you doing this from, Firefox? [18:23] yes [18:23] Is anyone here using a 802.11n USB wifi adapter? Looking to buy one that doesn't require any special installation steps... [18:23] Ok. So the next version then is 11.XX, as 10.04 and 10.10 has replaced 9.XX?

It seems a bit... forced [18:24] oab: yep, the 10 stands for 2010, 11 for 2011, etc [18:24] Ahh [18:24] gumpish, i use some wired ethernet usb, it is detected by ubuntu by just plugging it in [18:24] Arachon: let me check the availability again [18:24] canonical need assign developers to gimp [18:24] I am trying to switch networks wlan0 to eth0 from the command line in 10.04 any advice ?

[18:25] BajK: I was able to just print a PDF of an HTML page I just quickly cooked up, and the only borders/margins I was getting was where it would be acceptable for the printer to actually print to. [18:25] smallfoot-: Agreed 100% [18:25] it is not supposed to be printed, and if, I have my own borders set with CSS [18:25] I dont want this thing to interfere with what I WANT to do [18:26] gumpish: hang on, and i'll find you a link to the one i have, plug it in, and connect to a network... no fuss no muss === mike_ is now known as Guest29823 [18:26] Have a good afternoon everyone, I'm sorry I can't help you any further, BajK - I'm about to head into a meeting. [18:26] KM0201: cool! [18:27] Thanks guys, WaltherFI, actionparsnip, KM0201, bencahill, ubottu, nesv, Pici and rusty149. This was of great help and a super forum to discover! I am now restarting and reinstalling ;) See you later. [18:27] oab: you're welcome [18:27] thewanderer1: ssh-agent appears to be running, though. It's also in the xinitrc for XFCE. [18:27] Arachon: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR [18:28] gobbe, i have a wired line eth0 and a wireless connection wlan0 id just like to be able to use both dont know how [18:28] well I KNEW GTK was some pre-historic stuff [18:28] dodgy_script: same time? [18:28] with Konqueror it just works the way I want it [18:28] could this be so difficult?! [18:29] SOSY XUI [18:29] BajK: use Konqueror then. [18:29] BERY B JOPY [18:29] BajK: sudo apt-get install konqueror :) [18:29] good evening every 1 [18:29] :d [18:29] I already use KDE [18:29] BajK: there is complete support for KDE programs in gnome too [18:29] gumpish: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-USB-Adapter-Desktop-Notebook/dp/B001B0GZMA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1294943341&sr=8-2 [18:29] and always when I get to "work" with a GTK application I do know why I don't have Gnome but KDE [18:30] gumpish: it's about $20 cheaper here (if you're in the US).. click the "see price in cart"... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3173666 [18:30] gobbe, well iv heard that is hard to set up! id settle for at different times [18:30] WaltherFI: Hm, I'll look it through, and practicie my Google-fu a bit more, thanks for the help anyhow :3 [18:30] KM0201: thanks! (yes, I'm in the US) I'll check it out right away [18:30] cognitiaclaeves: you also need to have SSH_AGENT_PID set as an env variable [18:30] Arachon: but yeah, UNR is officially down, the UNE is the real version [18:31] cognitiaclaeves: or SSH_AUTH_SOCK or similar [18:31] thewanderer1: when I execute ssh with -vvv, it looks like it looks for identity, id_rsa, and id_dsa files . I have a keyfile, but it's none of those. When I ln -s to the keyfiles with identity*, then it asks for a passphrase, which I normally don't see. [18:31] Arachon: ubuntu netbook edition, not remix [18:31] gumpish: i've never tested it like w/ penetration w/ backtrack.. but it'll connect to open, wep, wpa, wpa2 networks w/o issue.. just plug it in on 10.10, and it picks up and you choose a network [18:31] cognitiaclaeves: have you run ssh-add to add your key to the keyring? [18:31] WaltherFI: Yeah, I'm not expecting any "official" support, but in it's current state, Unity is a bit too unpolished for me [18:32] KM0201: sounds like it'll suit me fine then [18:32] Arachon: the whole netbook interface is pretty hot potato, and too new atm no matter what interface [18:32] thewanderer1: Possibly not. I may have only configured something like passwordless SSH using gnome-keyring, but not the real thing. [18:32] Arachon: it hasn't been on for long enough [18:32] WaltherFI: In my experience, the 10.4 one seemed a lot more polished, it was more responsive and easier to understand, Unity doesn't even have a proper file manager embedded [18:32] cognitiaclaeves: well, it probably uses ssh-add under the hood, so use that [18:33] WaltherFI: But yeah, I see what you mean, hopefully it'll sort out in the future [18:33] after the last xorg update this fuc**d up avant-window-navigator http://img203.imageshack.us/i/capturadetelaw.png/ [18:33] KM0201: Hey, sorry to bother you again, but I accidentally screwed a bit on the grub-install. My ubuntu partition is on /dev/sda6 and on this step "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda" I left it as sda and not sda6. Can I just redo that command but replace with sda6? [18:33] inaety: yoru disk is not going to boot sda6, unless there's a /boot partition on sda6 [18:34] you need to install grub to the mbr of sda [18:34] KM0201: I'm just following what it says. There is indeed a /boot directory on my ubuntu partition [18:34] inaety: yep. the sda was the right thing to do [18:34] gumpish: i will warn you though, if you plan to use it with windows, oddly, it's flaky under windows. the software that comes w/ the device.. sucks... but thats not an issue w/ ubuntu [18:34] WaltherFI: just keep it /dev/sda NOT /dev/sda6? [18:34] inaety: no, you need to follow the instructions [18:34] thewanderer1: It looks like it did. Thanks! Will I need to do that each time I boot? [18:35] inaety: or, if you have separate boot partition etc, there is nothing there now and your mbr is already having the grub [18:35] KM0201: ooo, actually it looks like the chipset in that model has changed over time and the current hardware revision might not have the driver in the kernel [18:35] i have a brand new xubuntu 10.10 machine; how can i install gnome netbook on it without messing up my xfce4 desktop? [18:35] Can someone help me to install Gnome Graphics Tablet Apps? I can't find anywhere a desent help to do so. [18:35] cognitiaclaeves: each time you launch your desktop environment, to be precise [18:35] gumpish: i can't remember the chipset in the one i have... [18:35] KM0201: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_hostif.php?hostif=USB search for f5d8053 [18:35] i know its a realtek [18:35] rtdos: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop or similar [18:35] oh it is? [18:35] Looking for the best book on Ubunu or Ubuntu Server anyone recommend one they like? === alfred is now known as fennucci [18:35] in that case that page may be out of date [18:35] inaety: did you make separate boot partition for not messing up the mbr?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:36] inaety: also, nowadays grub is recommended to be at MBR, not on partitions [18:36] ok. So all that I'm really missing is a prompt to enter the passphrase when I use the key. Thanks again. [18:36] copyleft? [18:36] and the older ralink as being the supported ones [18:36] ok [18:36] WaltherFI: Nah. My situation is that I had win7 and ubuntu dualbooted just fine. but then i partitioned off some of the ubuntu to install Arch linux. and that broke my GRUB install [18:37] WaltherFI: How do I install it to the MBR then? [18:37] is there any office suite that is very similar to microsoft office for linux besides openoffice [18:37] inaety: grub-install /dev/sda [18:37] <[R00teR]> anyone know how can i set a password for any application? [18:37] Pici: this is a ubuntu related question if I am thinking on a ubuntu app isnt it?

If you're asking about how to package something that exists under one of those licenses, you can try #ubuntu-packaging [18:39] ok thanks [18:39] Can someone help me to install Gnome Graphics Tablet Apps? I can't find anywhere a desent help to do so. [18:39] Pici: ok [18:39] inaety: i know this is not too helpful, but when using guides, it is usually the best thing to do as they have been tested that way [18:39] WaltherFI: Haha, there was only one command in the guide. and that was it.

[18:40] inaety: the root directory refers to your HDD, which should be mounted to /dev/sda anyway [18:40] hi does you have to hold voltage in ssd disk to let the data be present ?? i mean on board [18:40] gumpish: thats all it says on the back... whatever that means [18:40] !ask | Rodemire [18:40] Rodemire: 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).

[18:51] saxon: if you ask #vbox, you don't have to presume.

[19:06] puff: there's a slick little program in the repos called GMount Iso... very easy GUI.... select the ISO, select a mount folder, click mount [19:06] hysing: i can't imagine why on earth youd want to do that... and i'd imagine that it would. [19:06] bluezone: Btw, right-click on an empty spot in the gnome menubar, select "add to panel", and select the Disk Mounter applet. [19:07] bastidrazor, and the mount point is what exactly, where i want the "cd-drive" to be located? [19:07] Hi, does this look like a hopeless problem or is there a chance it could get solved? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/702344 [19:07] oh [19:07] would keep me from chaising all .dll' s one by one, and keep all user data in one place. [19:08] bluezone: mount point is the spot in the file system hierarchy that you want the device to show up. [19:08] bluezone: the mount point is an empty directory you've created. [19:08] k [19:08] hysing: thats just beggig for a disaster, IMO. [19:08] mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 6, help ubuntu 10.10 tutorial?????? [19:08] hi [19:08] OK. Tnx KM0201. Guess that's the advice I was looking for... [19:09] bluezone: Usually you have to do: 1) $ mkdir /home/bluezone/myisomountpoint [19:09] help [19:09] wha is the "irc" group in Ubuntu? [19:09] My wireless almost never restarts after sleep :/ What can I do? [19:09] what* [19:09] bluezone: 2) mount -o loop /home/bluezone/my.iso /home/bluezone/myisomountpoint [19:09] i'm from ubuntu-vn.org [19:09] mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 6, [19:09] oh [19:09] where do cups printer drivers reside in ubuntu ??? [19:10] puff, this even more complicated because im trying to get these to run on wine lol [19:10] Ramir, do you use ubuntu 10.10 ? [19:10] yes!!!!!!! [19:10] puff, so maybe the mount point must be somwhere in /.wine/... [19:10] there is a bug with this version [19:10] what is the "irc" group in Ubuntu? [19:10] tutorial anywhere im from argentina [19:10] bluezone: Now you're outside my area of knowledge, haven't mucked with wine at ll. [19:10] downgrade to ubuntu 10.04, it works well [19:10] puff, hehe [19:10] all, did Jaunty use legacy GRUB (0.97) ? [19:11] bluezone: Btw, also check out Pysdm, a GUI tool to help manage mounting. Don't know if it handles isos. [19:11] share: It might get created if you install an ircd. [19:11] k [19:11] ubuntu in spanish???? irc??? [19:11] !es | Ramir00 [19:11] Ramir00: 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. [19:12] Where does Ubuntu put Apache modules - specifically, where would I find php.ini? [19:12] Use ubuntu 10.04 for aircrack-ng [19:12] Pici: could be a bouncer? [19:12] or wait ubuntu 11.04 [19:12] puff, i think i got it [19:13] El-Kodar: what's the problem with aircrack-ng in 10.10? [19:13] puff, yeah i had to mount it to /home/bluezone/.wine [19:13] negative channel [19:13] puff, then it appeared on the mounter on gnome [19:13] puff, thanks [19:13] you can't use airplay-ng because the channel is fixing on the -1 channel [19:14] yeah El-Kodar true [19:14] El-Kodar: I used a patch [19:14] jah [19:14] which can cause problems with wireless driver [19:14] i didn't search to a solution because i'm on ubuntu 10.04. There is a patch ? all right ! [19:15] anyone have a toshiba a505? [19:15] with u10.4 [19:15] El-Kodar: http://guide.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598930 [19:15] I was debating dual botting u10.4 and win [19:15] but i see lots of people encountering problems with ubuntu and toshiba aseries laptops [19:15] is there a user guide for this channel? [19:16] Ramir00: see this http://guide.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598930 [19:16] fennucci, have you considered using the live CD to test it first? [19:16] moonraker, it's the first thing you see when you enter this channel [19:17] Pici: I also have a 'sasl' group [19:17] yeah [19:17] works fine [19:17] asfar as I can see [19:18] Whats that generic Ubuntu package thats required when building -- pretty much anything. [19:18] I havent tested it extensively [19:18] For those who are dual booting with Toshiba, is it affecting windows as well? [19:18] ! guidelines | moonraker [19:18] moonraker: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [19:18] That would be somewhat... odd. [19:18] Id like to know aswell [19:19] ubottu - thanks for that [19:19] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:19] bt I've heard of people having trouble with usb devices [19:19] and wireless networks [19:19] dooh||| [19:19] On Ubuntu, or all-around? [19:20] Because if it's just Ubuntu (which I imagine is the case), and you're familiar with partitioning your system, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. You could always revert back to windows-only if you find the issues are too much to handle. [19:21] on ubuntu [19:21] I havent tried myself [19:21] was just reading some threads [19:22] fennucci: dual booting is generally fairly safe [19:22] Hrm. Okay. I run on an acer, so unfortunately I cannot give you firsthand experience. [19:22] I did, however, have networking and wireless issues which were easily solved by reinstalling a couple drivers/files. [19:23] fennucci: dual booting is safe. All of my laptops I've put Ubuntu on over the past years (3) have had only 1 problem, on my current laptop, all I had to do to fix it was install linux-backport-modules [19:24] ok [19:24] I wish i could figure out why my HP wont charge [19:24] I think I may have fried something putting in the dc-in [19:24] can I make a usb boot stick the same way I would for bt4?

[19:46] minto->dont worry about it [19:47] vlt: and how exactly is that possible?? :)) [19:47] thanks serial [19:47] soreau, so where did the xorg.conf.failsafe file come from last time it magically appared? [19:47] amalgama: in the grub menu. Hold while GRUB boots, select the menu item, press to edit and remove [19:47] yesterday I removed the Ubuntu partitions from my computer as I was not using Ubuntu much at the time and wanted to go completely back to Windows 7. Now it will not boot. [19:47] <[bean]> yep same thing [19:47] <[bean]> just a blackscreen with a mouse pointer [19:47] so what have you done with java? is that j2se or ee? [19:47] [bean], you have some funky video card or monitor setup ? [19:48] <[bean]> compiz? [19:48] amalgama: remove "quiet". You can also edit the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg and delete it from there permanently [19:48] asartain: that was a terrible mistake, commit a suicide [19:48] I love my ubuntu box it just runs so much better my doze and it has a lower spec!!! === MichealH is now known as zz_MichealH [19:49] That was not the answer I was looking for. [19:49] vlt: well, when the laptop boots i see no grub... unfortunately... another problem which i dont know how to solve.. do u have any idea... thanx for your previous answers [19:50] asartain: i guess you've messed the bootloader. Try to install it again [19:50] [bean], try this , System , Preferences , Appearance , Visual Effects tab , choose none and try a screenshot. [19:50] amalgama: You can obtain grub menu during boot by holding down shift key [19:51] netbooks with ubuntu are gr8 just for simple browsing stuff [19:51] asartain, the answer is, you lost your bootloader. [19:52] is there such a thing as a repair install for linux like there is with windows? [19:52] amalgama: Additionally, for permanent change do not edit grub.cfg but rather /etc/default/grub and then run sudo update-grub afterwards [19:52] boot windows 7 cd . repair , fixmbr [19:52] is there a way I can install ubuntu without a usb stick or without a cd? [19:52] kevin_, network install [19:53] does anyone know a video editor other than lives, i cant find a good one on the software center.. [19:53] !netinstall | kevin_ [19:53] kevin_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

I can't... [19:53] ubun1: pitivi [19:53] kevin_: read the link. [19:53] no its straight from the net [19:53] astarian: you had Windows 7 previously installed? [19:53] is there any way to tell apt-get (or some similar program.. aptitude?) to dig all the way to the bottom of the dependency tree when you get an error like this one? [19:53] The following packages have unmet dependencies: libwebkit-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-dev but it is not going to be installed [19:54] kevin_, why cant you boot from cd/usb ? [19:54] ps any current data on ya machine gets screwed [19:54] back up first [19:54] because for 1 the cd drive doesn't work, and secondly the computer does not want to boot from usb.. [19:54] because then you end up going sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev, then sudo apt-get install $(some other dependency degree 2) ; sudo apt-get install $(dependency degree 3) ... etc. [19:54] i just want it to frickin keep digging until it tells me the package that's really the problem [19:54] kevin_, what app you using to load the usb ? [19:54] what's the command for that? [19:54] kevin are you running windows? [19:55] the one that ubuntu recommends on the website. It works, I already tried it with another computer. It's this specific computer that's giving me problems [19:55] Yes. I know. One strange thing is when I go to recovery console Windows does not find my Windows partition, yet, after reinstalling Ubuntu, Ubuntu does see it and I can even mount it, so my files and things are still there. I do not wish to mess with them. I suppose this problem is more on the Windows side, but the help there is pitiful. If I choose the Windows bootloader in GRUB, it goes to [19:55] the Windows logo and the animation just keeps going on, forever and forever. [19:55] minto, on the pc I want to install it on yes [19:55] <[bean]> thanks that worked [19:55] kevin_, have you looked at the bios settings ? Some have settings for usb booting. === mezgani_ is now known as p3rror [19:56] kevin you need an iso to boot off of [19:56] [bean], then just change back to what you had it at [19:56] r00t4rd3d, yep, tried all of it.

Sometimes updates can cause issues and I'm trying to create a policy for the servers we manage for our clients.

[19:57] they affect system security [19:57] yep [19:58] adub, i think we have a same problem [19:58] monitor goes to standby [19:58] Security is maintained behind the firewall. [19:58] r00t4rd3d, isn't it the same as the one ubuntu provides? Plus, it's a computer problem, because like I said it works on other computers. how about with Wubi? Will it install from wubi without the need for another type of media? On windows it detected the usb, but when I ran wubi it would not allow me to install it inside windows, idk why. So I was thinking of redownloading another iso and trying with wubi again. [19:58] the system is not frozen becouse it's answer to ping from other machine [19:58] crtl alt backspace wont throw me back to X either soulslayer is there a way to fix this [19:58] Vulnerability is only with LAN users.

[20:00] So if routine updates are so important would you recommend enabling auto updates for servers or perform them manually? [20:01] What is a hidden partition and should my windows partition be a hidden partion? [20:01] ram if you have the option in the bios - you change the boot order [20:01] kevcox: you should always perform updates manually IMHO [20:01] ubuntu will not load my screen freezes and is pixelated after upgrading from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 [20:01] anyone have any recommendation [20:02] yeats: Thanks for the suggestion. [20:02] how do i install plugins in banshee? [20:02] kevcox: updates can break dependencies for certain versions of software you might be running [20:02] kevcox: esp. if you install things from source from time to time [20:03] yeasts: Is there a command to restore to previous version or in other words roll back easily if there are problems with recent updates? [20:03] ram can you access the bios of the pc you are working with ? [20:03] genii-around: thanx a lot for your help [20:03] vlt: thanx a lot for your help [20:03] yeats: do you know how to make apt-get upgrade work via script if it it running on a headless box? Right now it is asking me (via a curses dialog) if it is OK to go on without updating grub. [20:03] kevcox: not really [20:03] I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 but many times Ubuntu freeze in ubuntu logo screen, any idea? [20:03] i will try it and give a feedback on the results [20:04] I have to reset many times in order to Ubuntu start to working [20:04] pitvi is more confusing than lives... any other suggestions on video editors not on the source center?

Have you checked the system log or Xorg.0.log.old after it happens? [20:05] are you talking distro upgrades [20:05] soreau, I'm very noob with ubuntu [20:05] or package update? [20:05] how can I do it?? [20:05] yeats: yes. It is running on ec2 and I want to have it to an apt-get upgrade when it boots up. Right now I have to run it manually and I want it auto on boot. [20:05] !who | minto kun [20:05] minto kun: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[20:06] Chilaquiles: add the indicator applet back to your panel [20:06] ok!! I try [20:06] now [20:07] i'm trying to make a Ubuntu usb disk in Windows. I extracted usb-creator.exe from the ISO, and ran it, but when I point usb creator at the ISO I downloaded (and from which it came), nothing happens. The "Source disk image" stays empty, and thus "make startup disk" remains grey/disa bled [20:07] it's ubuntu 10.10 32-bit Livecd [20:07] denimboy: is there a particular reason you want to do it that way? you could (more safely, probably) just establish a maintenance window for yourself (e.g., system gets upgraded on Tuesday nights) [20:07] denimboy: that's not really the kind of thing I would recommend doing without being able to interact with it ;-) [20:08] Bops: better try Unetbootin, nevef failed to me ;) [20:08] Chilaquiles, gnome-volume-control-applet < add that to system > preferences > Startup Applications [20:08] yeats: hmm, ok. I swaer I saw a headless command option for apt-get ugrade one time. [20:08] hey all. new to ubuntu [20:08] bens : its less hassle to rip an iso to cd boot of it you do this even with live versions of distros [20:08] yeats: I understand where you are coming from but in this case its a little diferent [20:08] How do I switch gnome to use a minimal theme.. I'm using it over VNC, so I don't need any fancy graphics. Basically I'm looking to switch ubuntu to the equivalent of the classic theme in windows [20:09] could someone try this link and tell me if it is broken: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/gnuplot [20:09] xangua: it failed me, which is why i'm trying usb creator. It complained about no tfinding vmlinuz [20:09] also this link seems to be broken: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/ [20:09] yeats: the repos are actually frozen so I wont get any surprises [20:09] hey how can i have the volume icon shown in my panel? [20:09] hwilde: "two or more packages specified (gnuplot jaunty)" [20:09] Chilaquiles, gnome-volume-control-applet < add that to system > preferences > Startup Applications [20:09] so I figured "maybe usb creator will let me install u buntu" [20:09] r00t4rd3d: and then whaT_ [20:09] rautamiekka, right, that's waht I get too... [20:09] restart [20:09] hwilde: jaunty is no longer supported [20:09] so the website is removed?? [20:10] Chilaquiles, or log out , log in [20:10] Chilaquiles: You either need to run gnome-volume-control-applet or add the indicator applet back to your panel [20:10] hwilde: Yeah, they delete obsolete sites. [20:10] soreau: how can I run gnome-voulme... [20:10] soreau!! I did it and I have it on screen but I don't understand anything :( [20:11] rautamiekka, bs. dapper is still there [20:11] Chilaquiles, terminal [20:11] Chilaquiles: alt+f2 gnome-volume-control-applet [20:11] r00t4rd3d: ok im in the terminal, now what? [20:11] or in terminal gnome-volume-control-applet; [20:11] kun: Right, just poke through the logs a bit and see if there's any obvious problem messages [20:11] hwilde: Because Dapper Server is supported until 2011-06 [20:11] denimboy: you might be able to use this: http://www.debianadmin.com/automatic-update-of-packages-using-cron-apt.html [20:12] hwilde: So it's no bs [20:12] oh thats a different icon from what i have before [20:12] evenin [20:12] Chilaquiles, open startup application and hit add name it and put in the command gnome-volume-control-applet restart the desktop and it will be there and always when you power on. [20:12] Chilaquiles: because it's not the same applet [20:12] Chilaquiles, if you want the old one back : [20:12] Chilaquiles: what you want is Indicator Applet [20:12] !resetpanel | Chilaquiles [20:12] Chilaquiles: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [20:12] vlt: it worked perfectly....thanx.. [20:13] Chilaquiles: alt+f2 indicator-applet [20:13] has anyone here ever used mogrify to work with multiple images? [20:13] what has happened to ubuntu? it used to "just work". Now I'm on my 3rd install of 10.10. [20:13] ok share: I got it thanks! [20:13] thanks guys! [20:13] Bops: are you changing keyboard language? [20:14] during install? [20:14] share: nope, not getting far enough to select language. [20:14] genii-around: it worked perfectly....thanx.. one more question... is it possible to boot the machine in console mode, and from there (with a command) to go to the log in screen??? [20:14] I was also wondering why the time keeps changing 2 hours ahead of the current time, even when I change it [20:14] Bops: have you tried to run livecd [20:15] amalgama, boot to init 3, then startx from the console [20:15] amalgama: I used to disable the gdm/kdm and from there you get console and to put: startx or so. i'm not sur however if you uninstall gdm if gnome also goes with it [20:15] i forget where you set your init level [20:15] share: with Netbook Remix, it installed but was unusable due to being too slow. And with the normal version, Unetbootin's version didn't work, and trying that ISO (that unetbotin downloaded) with usb-creator.exe doesn't do anything, i select the iso but the source disk choice remains emty. [20:15] yeats: thats not exactly what I want. Thing is I have an ec2 image which gets booted up. It runs the cloud hook which pulls in chef client and runs recipes. One of those recipes is to update apt and then I want it to run apt-get upgrade. So its not really keeping the machine up to date perioticaly its getting it to a certain known state on boot. [20:15] ouff i'm having a little more problems with mounting a certain iso, ive mounted 4 already flawlessly, but this one doesnt seem to want to run, any ideas (NB THE ISO IS NOT CORRUPTED) [20:16] denimboy: ok - that taps me out ;-) [20:16] pcola343: can u explain a bit the "boot to init 3" part?? :) thanx.... [20:16] denimboy: #ubuntu-server might be a bit more helpful. [20:16] i'm not sure how you do it in ubuntu [20:16] hopefully quick one - is there any packages available for pdfs which collate pdfs ? windows has a nice one but cant find a similar one on linux ? the collate button on the print pdf will not allow to be ticked. [20:16] amalgama: No gui login without gdm though... but X just starts with whatever user you logged into console with [20:16] thanks [20:16] yeats: thanks. like the name "yeats". like the poet? [20:17] picp: thanks. I'll try there [20:17] http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html [20:17] denimboy: chosen for that association, yes :-) - thanks [20:17] Chilaquiles: killall gnome-volume-control-applet [20:18] why the time keeps changing 2 hours ahead of the current time, even when I change it [20:18] genii_around: so it asks for user-password before going into console?? but why do i have the feeling that gnome goes with gdm??!! [20:18] Chilaquiles, try change in file /etc/default/rcS - UTC=no to yes or yes -> no [20:18] amalgama: Hang on I'll find out the dependencies [20:18] amalgama: Please, just one '?' and '!' is needed.

Perfect! [20:26] useradd -G group username [20:26] anybody please help :( [20:27] upsla: Just ask and wait. [20:27] SA-Geoff: That's not correct. You'd need an -a in there as well. Which is why it's easier (and less risky) to just use adduser [20:27] to just create a user and add it to a group? [20:28] any ideas where I can get the default font for 10.10?

It doesn't fit my custom theme. [20:29] kubuntu rocks.. though i still prefer 3.5 to 4 [20:29] SA-Geoff: "adduser username" will add a user, "adduser username group" just adds the username to the group, it won't create a new user [20:29] serialized, what about theme? [20:29] is there good theme for ubuntu? [20:29] is kubuntu a them? [20:29] Phong_: gnome-look.org [20:29] theme [20:29] useradd with the -G option specifies a group to add teh user too during the creation process [20:29] !theme [20:29] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [20:30] you can install emerald and other widgets to change the look and feel [20:30] serialized, Can I change the login sound? [20:30] what is diff kubuntu and ubuntu or xbuntu or edubuntu [20:30] but understand that Emerald is no longer developed [20:30] it was in the repositories when i used it? [20:30] Phong_: just the GUI mostly... but KDE sucks IMO.. :).. they all function pretty much the same [20:30] Phong_, Kubuntu uses the KDE desktop environment. Ubuntu use GNOME, Xbuntu uses xfce and edubuntu is for education [20:31] macbuntu help? anybody? [20:31] Phong_, the differences are in the Desktop environment [20:31] venus: thtas not supported here. [20:31] so ubuntu is good for me? [20:31] Phong_: yes, ubuntu is fine. [20:31] KM0201: it should be.. dont you think so? [20:31] is look that inportant?

It doesn't fit my custom theme. [20:32] Phong_, well why not go to youtube and search for each of them to get an idea of how they look and function [20:32] venus: no... macbuntu is a script/theme that you install... that is known to cause issues.. you need to see the writer o the script [20:32] well, if ubuntu is the main or core..i rather stick with it [20:32] KM0201: hmm .. quite agree with you friend... :) [20:32] cuac for xchat how to add????? [20:32] those nice lookings are just theme ;) [20:32] basically they're operating the same thing right?

[20:33] gnome is also the default dm for fedora [20:33] Phong_: the beauty of it is that you can download a CD image of each one and try them out in turn - or use VirtualBox [20:33] venus: what do you mean "use plymouth"? [20:34] Phong_, In theory, yes. In practice, not really. [20:34] Linux's security model makes it a lot more difficult for malware to propegate or be executed. [20:34] oh i thought she said she wanted a new user [20:34] Especially due to the permissions system. [20:34] KM0201: i just want to change the splash screen... what to do with that? [20:34] Phong_, its unlikely...most linux viruses seem to be geared towards servers not desktops [20:34] i see [20:34] venus: gdm themes [20:34] venus: honestly, i've ever really messed w/ it, not sure [20:34] How do I change the default login sound from tribal drums? It doesn't fit my custom theme. [20:35] KM0201: ok no problem [20:35] Irreducibilis: See if /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg is the sound.

[20:37] usually has a serial when come to iso [20:37] Ramir00, yes there is the pulseaudio systemic equalizer [20:37] coz_: I think those have to do with gdm [20:37] what is md5 ? [20:37] where???

I don't think it's a 64/32 thing, more a system-wide setup thing. dpkg -i foo.deb skips all the install prompts (internally it passes a 'skip' and uses the default). Later doing a dpkg-reconfigure shows the prompts as expected. Any idea why the hell it's not doing it during [20:38] install? [20:38] i always download the iso [20:38] it works [20:38] dosydoo1234: consider pdftk [20:38] Phong_: then thats fine, don't worry about it.

[21:14] Suppose we have a bunch of client machines/terminals that have the same NFS-shared home directories so users can log in anywhere and see their files. Now suppose we want to use SSH keys for log-in to a server elsewhere. If we generate the key-pair on MachineA, the id_rsa.pub will have "user@MachineA" at the end and after copying it to the remote host, key-based logons will not work on MachineB...is there a solution to this?

That's weird...looks like it only works on MachineA for me...let me try again then. [21:17] Ganymede, check permissions, they have to be exact for the folder and the file [21:18] Ganymede: the .ssh directory MUST be 700, and the .pub file is 644 and the private dsa must be 600 [21:19] mbeierl, brontoeee, Ah, thanks, I got it working now.

[22:19] n-iCe: ubuntu doesnt use .exes [22:19] ddr400, i cant use movie player? === guillermo is now known as Guest99498 [22:20] linxeh: I know, that's why I am asking for a decompiler. [22:20] i dont know, but vlc is maybe the best one [22:20] yes reall [22:20] KM0201: im currently updating to see if the right driver gets installed along, as the guide i was given a moment ago mentioned updating [22:20] n-iCe: the best is IDA which has limited free version [22:20] u can know me soon ok [22:20] n-iCe: run a windows decompiler on windows ... [22:20] i installed ubuntu 10.04 and during setup i told to but bootloader in /dev/sda drive (i made 3 partitions : 1 ext4 for "/" swap, and ext4 "/home" - i dont have another operating system - but i don't see the bootloader appearing to select different kernels or recovery mode on boot. [22:20] wodz: thanks, any free? [22:20] Sean93: Did ou install openssh-server on the other box? [22:20] linxeh: that would be dumb since I don't use windows. [22:20] Cellar door it says wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\env.exe" [22:21] ou = you [22:21] nothingspecial, no [22:21] Sean93: Well do that then [22:21] ok [22:21] n-iCe: then what do you expect to achieve by decompiling a windows exe ?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [22:22] hello [22:22] am banan from the gambia [22:22] lol [22:22] u there [22:22] whats is your name ? [22:22] !ot | bkuyateh1 [22:22] ban him pls [22:23] hello === dtymcdaniel is now known as scorpioneater [22:23] bkuyateh1: please stop, for genetal talk join #ubuntu-offtopic [22:23] donvito, You still there? [22:23] I have officially CONFIRMED that the wireless speeds on my laptop: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) are approximately 5 times slower than my wireless speeds on windows, and the wired connection on both windows and ubuntu work at the same speeds. THEREFORE the issue behind this is isolated only too POORLY coded network card drivers for my network card, or other unfortunate incompeten [22:23] ce, does anyone know where i can get a different driver, or get a workaround ? [22:24] bluezone: are you using 10:10 [22:24] bluezone i would try ndiswrapper [22:24] how can i get a bootloader (to choose different kernels) to appear during startup for a single boot OS in 10.04? i just did a fresh install [22:24] yes i am using 10.10 [22:24] with it you use your windows driver [22:24] sirscrubsalot: when you tun on the pc, keep the Shift key pressed [22:25] bluezone: Since the kernel is where the driver lives, using a different kernel will get you a different driver [22:25] i remembered that i used wl.ko on my previous ubuntu [22:25] not sure if you guys can help -- but I keep getting a cannot find crtc error when I use xandr to connect my laptop screen to an HDMI monitor and a VGA monitor, both connected through separate ports (HDMI and VGA) [22:25] it was on my liveusb [22:25] hi there [22:25] anyone there [22:25] however i updated to 10.10, it continued working [22:25] azert there are 1500 ppl here [22:25] ellipsis: check veetihaapsamo.deviantart.com [22:25] well, what is port using x server ? [22:25] That card worked lovely in 8.04, between that and 10.10 it didn`t work at all (without serious messing) [22:25] augh, wrong channel [22:26] !ot | azert [22:26] azert: #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! [22:26] soreau, which kernel do you recommend, because ive had these problems in that past on other ubuntu versions as well [22:26] ja!!! [22:26] xangua - i saw on many videos that an actual box appears though and you can scroll down and up? do i need to install something else for it to appear? - on install setup i told the bootloader to go into /dev/sda which i assume is the master boot record? [22:26] The installer is convinced (http://pastie.org/1458137) that one of my NTFS partitions is swap; it's not. (It's probably confused because it used to be part of a Windows dynamicdisc raid array). The installer won't continue without being able to mount that as swap. Suggestions? [22:26] azert: oh sorry [22:26] damn, this is not my day. [22:26] bluezone: I`m just happy it works [22:26] lol [22:26] sound in xchat is bad [22:26] FauxFaux: cannot you mount a /swap elsewhere? [22:26] well what is port using x server ? [22:26] ddr400: I haven't asked for any swap; is swap mandatory? [22:27] yes [22:27] i guess yes [22:27] nothingspecial, it doesn't work for me, i cant even watch streams [22:27] you have to specify swap [22:27] So generally no idea what to do about ehci_hcd problems :/ [22:27] bluezone, what video card? [22:28] swap is not mandatory. I run several boxes without swap at all and no problems [22:28] The other problem is that it tries to mount this non-swap partition as swap every time you press anything in the installer, and takes about four minutes to give up. Aaaaaargh. [22:28] it is there any port using x server ? [22:29] matters how much physical memory you have [22:29] azert port for what? [22:29] x display got an port or not ? [22:29] yes [22:29] If I want to show new mails in /etc/pam.d/login is this "session optional pam_mail.so dir=Maildir/ standard" right? [22:29] which one [22:29] bluezone: Not sure, like I say, it works for me. I can stream etc etc etc. But I nearly threw the stupid thing in the bin before that. Which module is it using? [22:29] Anyone have time to talk about HP scanner on the network not seen by Sane? [22:30] sysdoc: on lan? [22:30] ddr400, yes [22:30] never worked? what is the issue? [22:30] neozen, im not talking about video cards, i'm talking about my internet speeds: my network card is:Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) [22:31] which port ? ddr400 [22:31] maybe looking in xorg.conf [22:31] azert: X11 usually listens on tcp ports 6000 and upwards. Are you trying to punch a hole through a firewall? Otherwise, you rarely need to know the port.... [22:31] bluezone, just asking used to have problems w/ my intel card in combination w/ an ATI card (card would disconnect and not reconnect).... saw some messed up thing in launchpad about interference. [22:32] ddr400, No, did work but just tried to scan and Sane is not finding it. I think that it has not been tried since the upgrade to 11.04 [22:32] yes [22:32] Loshki [22:32] http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/1861/screenshotpi.png [22:32] :D [22:32] how to know that port ? [22:32] sorry, did work until what? [22:32] azert: try running netstat -an | egrep 600 [22:33] bluezone, listen to me, try with ndiswrapper and load the windows driver for that card [22:33] azert: AFAIK xserve used to use port 6000 [22:33] can anyone help me with some dual booting troubleshooting real fast? [22:33] ddr400, i cant seem to... wait [22:34] i can access grub by pressing SHIFT key on bootup of 10.04 (single boot os) - how can i have it appear automatically without pressing shift? it looks like grub version 1.9x something [22:35] i installed XBMC [22:35] sirscrubsalot: keep it pressed, not just press it once [22:35] trying to dual boot win7 and ubuntu 10.10, windows is on sda but ubuntu is on sdc3. no bootloader options come up and it just boots straight to windows [22:35] Hello, can someone tell me why cscope is not working with the default build of vim? [22:35] bluezone: hang on, I have to get to my box with that card ....... and boot it [22:35] have i to run that command on the host or guest ? Loshki [22:35] and i then accidentally installed XBMC live [22:35] wondering what the most straightforward way to fix this is [22:35] mmm i need glases :D [22:35] xangua - is there a way for that box to appear automatically on boot? [22:35] so then it reset my computer [22:35] both not giving any result neozen Loshki [22:35] and now ubuntu says that it cant set up my stuff [22:36] monteith: i take it sdc is an additional internal drive? [22:36] yeah [22:36] and windows was installed first as well. [22:36] azert: on the host. The xserver listens for clients. netstat will tell you which ports are listening. The X server has to be running for this to work... [22:36] azert: I came in late, what are you trying to do? [22:36] monteith: yeah... can i PM you? [22:36] yeah, please [22:37] well i try to explain my problem neozen Loshki [22:38] bluezone: lsmod | grep iwl [22:38] i just installed ubuntu 10.10 on a 15 year old pc and its not handling it too well, after the update i cant even log in, how do i optomise it for a pc that old [22:38] i got ubuntu as host and custumized centos : elastix on guest with vbox [22:38] Sean93: what spec? [22:38] aeon-ltd: This one. [22:38] Sean93: oh wait did the thing work yesterday? [22:39] aeon-ltd, no i just installed it today, i was working but really slow then i updated the system and now i cant log in [22:39] it was* [22:39] Sean93: how much resources [22:39] ¿ [22:39] i got ubuntu as host and custumized centos : elastix on guest with vbox, i got public IP which is 82.1.15.X no router behind, so NAT setting of vbox now on centos/elastix i got this IP : 10.0.2.15 [22:39] its a pentium 2 350 mhz [22:40] Sean93, for 'older' machines try xubuntu [22:40] i think around 200 mb ram [22:40] Sean93, make no mistake... that's old [22:40] Sean93, try xubuntu [22:40] or lubuntu, runst with less than 100mb neozen Sean93 [22:40] !lubuntu [22:40] lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [22:40] as elastix is an web based application it gives this ip 10.0.2.15 to display the WEBGUI [22:40] xangua, didn't know if that was out yet.... [22:40] Sean93: you may need lighter software, something like lubuntu should be ok. try to minimise resources in use; i know this is generally against the channels ethics but this may be one of the better options http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/mint-vs-lmde-sudden-weight-gain/ [22:40] i port forward the port 8080 and 2222 [22:40] Sean93: there are distros specially designed for very old systems. You might be better off trying one of those: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/52134 [22:41] Sean93: You're not going to run ubuntu with that..... maybe lubuntu........ better minimal install with openbox === lysek is now known as Guest19631 === Guest13801 is now known as lysek [22:41] now what i need is to X display to display firefox wich is present on centos [22:42] *use [22:42] can i start ubuntu without x? === david is now known as Guest76940 [22:42] could it run it then? [22:42] Sean93: it should [22:42] Sean93: yeah! But you'd have no grahpics [22:42] if i run firefox i got this error : Error: no display specified [22:42] Sean93: if i can make a suggestion... drop ubuntu completely, and look at "aptosid" it's Debian w/ xfce... very small and light on old systems [22:42] aeon-ltd, how do i start it without x? [22:43] I am running ubuntu server and I can not get my wlan0 configured. When I run the auto config in the begining it says "Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol. Or some network hardware is not working properly" Since I know my router is set to DHCP is this a driver issue with my wireless adapter? I am running 10.10 btw. Can anyone help?? [22:43] When you reach the loginin screen, press Ctrl-Alt-F1 [22:43] Sean93: I recommend 'Damn Small Linux'... [22:43] DSL is good, it's just to difficult for most newbs [22:43] login [22:43] Sean93: no idea, safe mode, then use that to remove gdm so X doesn't start on regular boot [22:43] anyone have a suggestion for maybe the best app for ftp? [22:44] The_Maverick: firefox [22:44] ? [22:44] edbian like filezilla? [22:44] that's why i m asking if i need to port forward any port for x display , [22:44] ? [22:44] The_Maverick: filezilla has a linux version if you're used to it... it's in the repos [22:44] The_Maverick: That's a good one (not related to firefox) [22:45] hola [22:45] I am running ubuntu server and I can not get my wlan0 configured. When I run the auto config in the begining it says "Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol.

[22:56] KM0201: but if it blurs all you image then that power is lost [22:56] xsinick: yeah, just a very steep learning curve (if you're used to using photoshop) [22:56] maco: i must have messed up the wlan0 config file when trying to get it to connect earlier. Yes my ssid was listed and it is showing when i do iwconfig wlan0...just "not-associated [22:56] neozen: yes [22:56] xsinick: blurs images?.. never had an issue w/ that personally [22:56] rez410, ok then.... wpa or wep?

[22:58] rez410: yep. just takes 2 lines to config an AP [22:58] xsinick: hmm... well what about creating a small virtualbox partition of XP(or 7, or whatever you use).... put photoshop in it, and fire up Windows in Vbox, when you need photoshop?

[23:12] edbian: yeah, i use gedit with Zen-coding plugin, but not much of help for css [23:12] rez410, honestly unsure... post is circa 2007 so may be no longer relevant [23:13] rez410, I swear they didn't include wireless drivers in the server kernel, but it seems I'm wrong [23:13] WaltherFI: :) [23:13] maco: i downloaded ubuntu-server 10.10 right from ubuntu yesterday so its as up to date as it can be without an internet connection [23:13] neozen: yea im getting lights and it did see the available networks in the area [23:14] rez410: the ISOs do not get updated post-release [23:14] rez410, broadcom cards used to do that... still didn't connect properly [23:14] maco: It was definitely communicating with my router [23:15] hey everyone. how can i change the location of the standard bookmark folders? music, documents, etc [23:15] neozen: oh ok [23:15] hi. my prompt usually will change the title bar on gnome-terminal to reflect my current directly, which is nice. when i use "screen" it no longer does that. any ideas how to ensure it continues to work? [23:15] WaltherFI: Perhaps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Programming ? [23:16] rez410, those @#$@# cards are generally why I ask for make & model of wireless card first thing [23:16] maco: can I wire it up and do an update? [23:16] neozen: yea I should have known [23:16] rez410, yeah that's what I'd actually recommend [23:17] maco: what do i put in my config file to be able to wire it up ? [23:18] auto eth0 might do it [23:18] neozen: thanks [23:18] Is Intel x86 family of processors equivalent to i386? [23:18] then sudo ifdown eth0 (plug in) and sudo ifup eth0 [23:19] horseatingweeds: sould be, for what? [23:19] ciau:P [23:19] should [23:19] neozen: it says i need to config eth0 [23:19] Can anyone here help me with Apache webserver? [23:19] does anyone know how to change the target location of the dafeult bookmark folders, such as music, pictures, etc? [23:20] how long should the install stay on unpacking tzdata? [23:20] ddr400, I'm just trying to get Linus on this old computer. Ubuntu and Kubuntu both stall after their first screen, with a cursor in the upper left blinking. [23:20] sorry, you need iface eth0 inet dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces as well [23:20] try lubuntu [23:20] waldir: where do you want to put the? [23:20] I have officially CONFIRMED that the wireless speeds on my laptop: Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) are approximately 5 times slower than my wireless speeds on windows, and the wired connection on both windows and ubuntu work at the same speeds. THEREFORE the issue behind this is isolated only too POORLY coded network card drivers for my network card, or other unfortunate incompeten [23:20] ce, does anyone know where i can get a different driver, or get a workaround ? [23:20] rez410, use non-headless linux on this comp so had to check my headless server to see what's needed w/o nm) [23:20] edbian: say, in /home/waldir/Desktop/Music [23:21] waldir: The folders are not needed by anyting. Just move it [23:21] waldir: What app are you afraid of confusing? You can just tell it the new location [23:21] edbian: I need the bookmarks in the bookmark menu to keep working [23:21] waldir: You can make new bookmarks [23:22] ok, then how can i make the icons look like the default ones? [23:22] waldir: and delete the old ones. Open a nautilus window and edit the folders in the left hand pane. They're the same as the ones in the places menu [23:22] Why would a running program be killed automatically? I'm running a very processor intensive program I wrote in C, and it says "Killed" after some time running [23:22] rez410, connected via wired yet? [23:23] waldir: Well if you move those folders it wont' change, but you can make anything use those icons. Right click and select propertie [23:23] s [23:23] waldir: then click the icon [23:23] neozen: im physically connected but not "connected" [23:24] neozen: will be back in 5 minutes. [23:24] mind sticking your /etc/network/interfaces in a pastie and sending the link? [23:24] alvarop: my first guess is that you ran out of swap.... [23:25] Loshki, Thanks! I just saw the memory usage shoot up [23:25] I'll see what's causing it === wemaflo is now known as wema|off [23:25] edbian: ok that worked, but they still don't appear with the custom icon in the bookmark sidebar or the places menu [23:25] alvarop: if you run top in another window, you should be able to see if it grows unreasonably i.e. a memory leak... [23:26] bluezone: I think there is a work around for that by disabling the n band for that card have you checked bugs in launchpad [23:26] waldir: does it show up correctly on the desktop [23:26] ? [23:26] alvarop: also, some shells impose cpu limits on processes and will kill a process if it exceeds that limit... [23:26] heh... windows 98 doesn't [23:27] edbian: yes === jmad is now known as jmad980 [23:27] rez410, just the non-commented lines (lines which don't start w/ #) will be fine [23:27] waldir: then I'm not sure? I'm not on a gnome machine right now. Maybe you could just mess with the nautilus window folders??? [23:27] hey can someone tell me if this is a good way to delete ubuntu on a dual boot with xp? - http://bit.ly/fC1Sbh tks [23:28] edbian: what do you mean? [23:28] neozen: im back..ok what about the non-commented lines? i must have missed something [23:28] ...mess with them? [23:28] waldir: Open a nautilus window, see the folders and such in the pane on the left? Can you mess with it there? === mike is now known as Guest40554 [23:29] edbian: there's no properties item in the right-click menu if I try there [23:29] Loshki, Yup, that did it. I forgot to cleanup on a function I called thousands of times. Thanks for the help! [23:29] waldir: I was afraid of that [23:29] neozen: oh i see you were asking for my network interface file [23:29] rez410, yep [23:30] edbian: so... what can I try? [23:30] waldir: I'm afraid I don't know. I can't remember anything about this and I don't have a gnome machine to mess around on and try to find it. [23:30] auto lo [23:30] ops seem to want pasties here: http://goo.gl/ixcN9 [23:30] edbian: ok, thanks anyway, it's already nice to have the custom icon in the folder itself :) === Laggg is now known as Laggg|sssmoking [23:30] neozen: ill do line by line [23:30] neozen: auto lo [23:30] waldir: sure, you should ask around. Make a forum post or something :) I bet there is a way to do it [23:31] neozen: iface lo inet loopback [23:31] neozen: auto eth0 [23:31] i'm curioius why the b43 driver didn't work. [23:31] neozen: auto wlan0 [23:31] neozen: iface wlan0 inet dhcp [23:31] edbian: I don't like the forum very much, there is lots of noise. at least IRC doesnt keep records :) and is real-time [23:31] neozen: wpa-ssid "ssid" [23:32] neozen: wpa-psk "key" [23:32] neozen: thats it [23:32] rez410, after the auto eth0 line put: iface eth0 inet dhcp [23:32] rez410, also... [23:32] hmmm... what's the command to restart nautilus? [23:33] neozen: ok [23:33] !paste > rez410 [23:33] rez410, please see my private message [23:34] edbian: I don't like the forum very much, there is lots of noise. at least IRC doesnt keep records :) and is real-time [23:34] isn't this channel logged? [23:34] thichlinux, I'd be surprised if it wasn't [23:34] thieven`: what I meant is noone tried to search the IRC logs for answers :) [23:34] oh. yeah, true. [23:34] thieven`: the forum is not that bad [23:35] is there a utility like host/dig that can return *only* a resolved IP for easy use in scripting? [23:35] but unfortunately many people reply without knowing what they're talking about [23:35] rez410, now run sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 [23:35] i've got a serious problem that i haven't been able to fix for a couple days now. gnome-panel, appearance settings,e tc won't start up automatically when i log in, only get a white terminal. can't unlock login settings, etc. i've tried completely resetting gnome-panel settings, creating and loggin in as a new user, nothing. is there anyway to just reset everything back to default login settings without removing my settings? [23:35] hi all, anyone know a way to see what my hard drive is doing? I hear sounds coming from it, but I don't know what prog or process is causing it [23:35] rez410, dhcpclient should get an IP, and you should be clear to update [23:36] hi folks, wonder if someone can help. when connecting an external USB drive i get "waiting for device to settle before scanning" under 10.04 LTS. any ideas? [23:36] juxta_: write one - it should only be four lines of code [23:36] what contexts do you need a resolved IP in that you can't just pass the hostname though [23:36] neozen: says interface eth0 not configured [23:36] bballard, wait... should stop scanning w/in 30 secs [23:36] Random832: yeah, i figured such a thing would probably already exist though :) [23:36] what do i need to reset/reinstall to just get back to default settings without removing my software? [23:36] hey i was just looking for some advice for the best dvd burner [23:36] easy enough to do with sed/awk [23:36] juxta_: why? [23:36] redneck05: brasero [23:37] what do you need the IP for? [23:37] !best [23:37] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [23:37] rez410, different interface name? [23:37] neozen, thanks, but it doesn't [23:37] thieven`: It would be nice if that ubuntu answers site was more used than the forum. at least the best answers are moved to the top [23:37] bballard, drat [23:37] neozen: just eth0 [23:37] so thats the best to use to burn dvd off you laptop [23:37] Random832: I'm writing a script, I want it to be able to accept either hostnames or IP's as input, but internally it needs to work with IP's [23:37] why does it need to internally work with IPs? [23:38] what's it doing [23:38] thieven`: sorry, wrong name. it's http://askubuntu.com [23:38] bballard, have you successfully mounted this drive on the computer before? [23:38] neozen: ifup is working [23:38] Random832: configuring routes [23:38] rez410, try sudo dhclient eth0 [23:39] rez410, might get an ip... [23:39] neozen: no link lights tho...on router or eth0 port [23:39] just to be even more weird, the first USB drive i attach shows up after a wait of 30-60 seconds. any other devices inserted (either with the original still connected or ejected) never get past the "waiting for device to settle before scanning" [23:39] bah [23:39] neozen: reboot maybe? [23:39] waldir, i think in finding any answer, you have to be good at searching, and good at patience as you'll have to read a lot on the forums to get a correct / proper answer. [23:39] rez410, .....shouldn't need to do that... sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [23:40] thieven`: to be fair, sometimes it's not as hard in ubuntu forums as it is in other forums out there, but still, IMO a forum is not the ideal way for discussions when the numbers of people invoved are as much as ubuntu users [23:41] neozen, yes i've managed it in the past. what has changed is i've gone from 10.10 to 10.04 LTS (clean install) === misha_ is now known as _misha_ [23:41] neozen: ok hold on i was doing something very stupid that is too embarrassing to say [23:41] rez410, cable not in all the way [23:41] rez410, or... not plugged in at all [23:41] waldir, i hear ya. that could be quite true. [23:41] 10.04 used to work fine, upgraded to 10.10 and had other problems. did a fresh install of 10.04 and usb drives have stopped working [23:42] neozen: i was plugged into a roko and not the router haha [23:42] bballard: I'm assuming you've installed all updates [23:42] <_misha_> basic ubuntu networkin question - i want to share my internet connection to two other laptops from one which has a 3g aircard - all of them are plugged into a hub with cat5 cables [23:42] rez410: "what do you mean I'm supposed to plug into the OTHER boxy thing w/ lights on it to get to the internet?" [23:43] rez410: it happens [23:43] how can I tell what programs/processes are using my hard drive? I hear my hard drive working, but I'm nto moving any files or anything [23:43] neozen, yes i have. i fear something may have changed in the kernel used or a configuration file but i'll be damned if i can find what it is via google [23:43] rez410: you know how to update from command line? [23:43] _misha_: nat is your friend [23:43] thieven`: I have this "howto" folder where I put stuff I learn how to do (e.g. how to customize the system to do this and that, stuff that doesn't come out of the box). I wish there was central a place where I could share these tidbits with others [23:44] thieven`: the wiki seems to be for grander subjects [23:44] neozen: sudo apt-get...? [23:44] rez410: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [23:44] what file do i need to change to config login screen setting? i can't "unlcok" the login settings from system > administration > login screen [23:45] neozen: ok updating...is that it? [23:45] hi, I have a ubuntu server enviroment where I am adding vm's and want to allow each vm to be accessible from the outside (remotely without accesing the main server first) how to do this? [23:45] rez410: if it installs a kernel, you should reboot when its done [23:45] neozen: ok [23:46] hey all [23:46] rez410: see anything about packages starting w/ "linux- " being "kept back"? [23:46] waldir, yeah, if people made a wiki of all the answers to common issues, that would be better than searching some forum... [23:47] neozen: nothing kept back [23:47] thieven`: they do.... depends on your hardware [23:47] neozen: still upgrading [23:47] thieven`: for thinkpads: http://thinkwiki.org [23:47] aah [23:48] thieven`: not canonical... but if they were to do such a thing.... that would be one MASSIVE wiki [23:48] anyone? [23:48] neozen: will i get the drivers needed thru this method? [23:48] rez410: possibly [23:48] rez410: never had to wrestle w/ that particular card [23:49] rez410: did you have to do anything non-standard to get it working in the desktop edition? [23:49] why won't any of the startup applications start when i login to my account, when they're showing in Startup Applications Preferences [23:49] I see a !patience coming on, but i'm curious if anyone can even see my questions [23:50] goltoof: ys [23:50] neozen: nope nothing at all [23:50] just entered ssid and key [23:51] rez410: entered... how? [23:51] neozen: thru the network manager i think it was called [23:51] what file do i need to change to config login screen setting? i can't "unlcok" the login settings from system > administration > login screen ... come on someone, i only got a couple minutes [23:51] rez410: ah.. you meant on the desktop edition gotcha [23:51] neozen: yea [23:52] goltoof: you need the administration password, do you have administration pivileges¿ [23:52] xangua: yes [23:52] xangua: but when i press "Unlock" no box pops up asking for pwd, like it did before [23:53] neozen, thanks for trying to help. looks like i'm going to have to restart laptop everytime i want to plug a usb drive in [23:53] xangua: i've tried creating and logging in as another user, same thing. gnome-panel won't even start, even though it's in startup apps [23:54] bballard: might have to do w/ how you unmount [23:54] neozen: done [23:55] goltoof: gnome-panel in the startup preferences¿¿ i don't thing that should be thete [23:55] bballard: recall there being two selections in 10.04 one being "Eject" and the other being "Safely Remove" [23:55] neozen, either by device notifier (kde user), umount [23:56] bballard: ah, I'm talking about stock ubuntu w/ nautilus, "Safely Remove" seemed to remove the ability of that drive to show up in the file manager at all..... hope they fixed that [23:56] bballard: never failed to cause the g/f to swear when she hit the wrong one by mistake and had to reboot [23:57] neozen, this is before the desktop environment. dmesg never shows the inserted device as having an in /dev/ [23:57] how can i mount an iso image? === Laggg|sssmoking is now known as Laggg [23:57] !iso | asdf39 [23:57] asdf39: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [23:57] you should open 'gconf-editor' and go where the image says http://tinyurl.com/4rcdxpf ; in panel the value should be 'gnome-panel' [23:57] goltoof* [23:58] after how much time approx https connections gets closed? [23:58] asdf39: or someone suggested earlier "gmount" in the software center for a GUI method [23:58] asdf39: mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk [23:58] bballard: I gotcha [23:58] i mean dropped for timeout [23:58] Is there a way to force into the ubuntu installer? [23:59] bballard: if its true..... that kind of blows that one must reboot.... known issue fixed in 10.10? [23:59] salut a tous [23:59] urzu: why? [23:59] bballard: might be specific to the drives you have [23:59] xangua: i think gnome-panel is in startup by default, which makes sense.. anyway, out of time. thx anyway [23:59] comment installer ubuntu server een multipartion [23:59] !chat [23:59] The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.
