[00:18] djzielin: that's no good. thanks for not giving up! how are your trying to install it? [00:18] djzielin, have you tried the f6 option nomodeset, use the shift at power on to get to the first gui menu het f6 choose this then crtl-x to boot [00:18] djzielin: what point during the install were you, before you got the blinking cursor? [00:19] Random832, its for iphone or android [00:19] r000t_laptop: why do you suspect nautilus? [00:19] zaery, good question [00:19] Can anyone recommend a good solution for playing music on my Mythbuntu box. I don't want to stream music to any browser/device, but I want to tell it (web interface?) to queue music and just play it on the combined frontend/backend device [00:19] the ability to maybe pause/resume using my plain old MCE (infra-red) remote would also be awesome [00:20] homercycles: mpd?

[00:20] shcherbak, because top says xorg and nautilus both take about 40% CPU each when this happens [00:20] trying to install from USB stick, the netbook doesn't have a cd/dvd drive. [00:20] I am on the new Xubuntu [00:20] 10.10 [00:20] schcherbak: thanks. hadn't encountered that in my googling yet. will look into it. [00:21] samtop: cat /proc/cpuinfo [00:21] erUSUL what does that mean? [00:21] I've tried several things. [00:21] samtop, type "cat /proc/cpuinfo" into the terminal and hit enter [00:21] I've tried editing the syslinux.cfg file. [00:21] to remove the "ui" reference. [00:22] samtop: is a command i you want to check via gui --> System>Admin...>system monitor [00:22] then I get a message that gfxboot is not found. [00:22] I'm able to hit enter and enter a boot menu. but when I try to install. get the same, black screen, with a cursor blinking in the upper left. [00:22] djzielin: why would you delete the ui reference? [00:23] r000t_laptop: lsmod | grep ipw ? [00:23] I saw the idea to delete it on a thread on the ubuntu forumns.

[00:23] Is it possible to install ubuntu over a ubuntu installed partition with windows on another partition? [00:23] zaery: happens all the time in irc ... [00:24] I have just installed ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) on my new Asus a72dr, the pc was unable to boot afterwards, requsting a usable boot medium. When i entered the bios the HD boot options label was scrambled and unreadable. I am now trying to install 10.4 (64 bit) from CD and have disabled AHCI in bios. Any advice would be apriciated. [00:24] karim_, yes, you would wipe the previous ubuntu install and all of the data on that partition, though === DaGeek247 is now known as DaGeek247-skool [00:25] maybe I should just try 10.04? (that had worked previosly). of course they may be also not worked because I'm trying to dual boot w/ windows 7. [00:25] I have already installed windows 7, and shrunk the partition size. [00:25] pilmark: Flash your BIOS w/ most recent version [00:25] djzielin, i haven't tried resizing win7 partitions, but every time i resized an xp partition, it totally broke xp, just fyi [00:26] no [00:26] r000t_laptop: ipw2200 is likely to be reason, make full upgrade, and next time fill bug report on launchpad. you can just manually reload module to see if this is it. Does it happend on any network or only one? [00:26] windows 7 still works [00:26] Is it safe though? zaery? I don't want to lose my windows OS. And what will happen to grub? [00:26] (this whole thing is a long annoyance, just so I can watch netflix). ugh. [00:26] but I'd like to be able to dual boot. [00:26] djzielin: wow, 7's better than i expected, then [00:26] any dwarf fortress player here? [00:26] Hi all, I just downloaded ubuntu 10.10 and burned it on a cd - however, I used Nero to burn it. Could that be the reason why it gets stuck with the purple screen when I reboot now? [00:27] Bernardo, for how long? [00:27] I'd say 10 minutes... [00:27] Purple Screen, haha. Ubuntu and the purple screen of death. [00:27] karim_ when you install ubuntu, make sure you select to change the partitions manually, and don't touch the windows partition. grub is reinstalled when you install ubuntu, and automatically detects all OS's you have, including windows [00:28] shcherbak there is only one network to use [00:28] karim_: or hope [00:28] Bernardo, try when powering on holding the shift key down imm, then choose the try mode from there. [00:28] how do I full upgrade? [00:29] hi alex, i figured out xchat, i think [00:29] sudo synaptic upgrade [00:29] r000t_laptop, from what to what and what type of install [00:29] okay, that's what I wanted anyway. Oh: I'm using wireless keyboard and mouse. That'll still work? [00:29] r000t_laptop: but then I don't know what you want upgrade been afk :P [00:29] r000t_laptop: start upgrade manager from menu. Other thing is that you dis/reconnect too often. Power issue? [00:30] Bernardo, I don't know about the wireless [00:30] ok [00:30] shcherbak it just does that by itself [00:30] fatass family members use the microwave too often [00:30] okay, I'll try. thanks!

(I don't touch pre-release stuff) [00:34] erUSUL: there was some other command I guess.. [00:34] r000t_laptop: 10.10 is more advanced than 10.04, on my macines is much faster (gods know why). iwconfig eth1 power off, but first *man iwconfig* [00:36] progre55: to change date and time? sta7ic already told you what is the command. linux has/stores its clock in utc and shows local date based on locale and timezone info. that's why i did not fully understand your original question. [00:36] UTC and GMT are essentially the same thing. [00:37] well I've got a server, and it has the GMT time, and I need to set it to local time. [00:37] "UTC" and "local time" are not the same thing.

They don't officially support Ubuntu, only RedHat, Mandriva and SUSE. Each somes with its own installation script. I'm not sure what the differences are. Which one is most likely to work with Ubuntu?

(i think) [01:13] Anyone, how do I find out whether sandyd is online? [01:13] !list [01:13] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[01:17] intrader, The context of the command is: /help whois [01:17] Dr_Willis, sorry i download all of those from the repos right? [01:17] intrader: you should ask in #freenode.. the subject you're discussing is outside the scope of this channel. [01:17] bluezone: just the one package should pull in the other needed ones.. I think. [01:17] okay [01:17] YankDownUnder, thanks, - how are the floods?. [01:18] okay results are in. [01:18] intrader, Bad. Really bad.

[01:19] intrader, Worse in Queensland, however, it's raining here YET AGAIN. Dunno what sunshine is anymore. [01:19] well [01:19] its doing it on a usb key install [01:19] it hangs right at the drm line [I think direct render management] [01:20] so my guess is its perhaps something to do with the video card? [01:20] oh i think that just takes awhile [01:20] I don't know... but 10.04 will work fine for me. [01:20] is that after you allocate the disk space?

[01:22] ronnish, what type of issues [01:22] can someone help me out [01:22] help, I'm on 10.04, I have an EVGA GTX460 . the nouveau drivers that came by default didn't give me any more than 640x480 resolution. I installed the linux-headers for my kernel, then installed nvidia-current. I restarted, successfully ran nvidia-xconfig, then restarted x server. I can get into the GUI Nvidia configuration tool, but it still doesn't recognize my card [01:22] ronnish, maybe you could simply state your problem [01:22] KB1JWQ: Thanks [01:22] bluezone, basically i cannot get the wireless card to turn on, or at least on the laptop, [01:23] i think it is not detecting the wireless card [01:23] i have tired different things but no luck [01:23] bluezone: the alt f2 key stopped working - do you know how to fix it [01:23] bluezone: i nomrally install the drivers then just reboot. [01:23] I can't get the ubuntu 10.10 live cd to boot. it always drops me at a prompt. md5sum is correct. the prompt says to init= bootarg [01:23] ronnish, so you dont see any wireless networks? [01:23] no i dont [01:23] my driver version (what apt installed for nvidia-current) is 195.36.24 [01:23] bluezone: you might want to try the 'nomodeset' option to the boot/grub line. (e to edit the line, replace 'quiet splash' with 'nomodeset' [01:23] when i try the wireless it says wireless is off [01:23] Dr_Willis, well no drivers show up on that gui interface still [01:23] and i cant do anything [01:24] ubnoob: do you have panel? [01:24] ronnish, your sure your wireless switch is turned on right? [01:24] yup [01:24] it works fine in windows [01:24] well [01:24] then i would try sudo modprobe iwl3945 [01:24] there is no guarentee it will work, but it did for me [01:25] its a dell wireless mini 1397 [01:25] oh [01:25] sorry [01:25] anyone able to help with my problem?

(I don't touch pre-release stuff) and i have no pinned packages [01:27] I'm back, anyone know how to get the alt-f2 key to work again? [01:27] jesus, it is Control + alt + f2 [01:27] intrader, Hmmm....seems that there IS NOT an i8k package....la la la... [01:27] and not only alt + f2 [01:27] bluezone [01:28] okay [01:28] ubnoob sometimes alt-f2 doesn't work because at start up nautilus isn't running, are your desktop icons gone? [01:28] is it just my username and password [01:28] bluezone- i know that but it dosnt work! [01:28] sorry my comp restarted [01:28] redrain, oh, so is it working now? [01:28] ubnoob, did you see my post? [01:28] sorry what did you say for me to do [01:28] im using xubuntu. is there an application that could add icons easily? i currently have compiz and emerald [01:28] i lost your post [01:28] hi, I just got a new laptop and I want to clone my desktop ubuntu installation to the new laptop. It has windows installed already & I want to have the cloned ubuntu beside the currently installed win. I got no external hdd, Can anyone please give me a hint ?

I have laptop with Ubuntu that has a half broken screen, ok more like 1/4. Anyway to treat the unbroken part as the actual screen? So everything doesn't stretch into the broken area? [01:29] ubnoob, is any of your desktop icons missing? because if nautilus doesn't start, alt-f2 does not work. [01:30] redrain, something relevant to your network card driver basically, sorry i dont know much about modprobe :S [01:30] hylian: no icons missing because i use docky [01:30] Is there a fix - not a work around - for the avahi-daemon mDNS issue yet? [01:30] was this for a broadcom card? [01:30] no it was for an intel card [01:30] !nvidia [01:30] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:30] milamber: thanks, how about configs? home folder?

[01:31] thanks BlueZone [01:31] Anyone able to help me? [01:31] ubnoob, that could be your problem then. try adding this as a start up app: nautilus --no-default-window [01:31] i will try to find something on that [01:31] clon00b: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot [01:31] kk [01:31] hylian: from the command line? [01:32] YankDownUnder, I can't find it. [01:32] no from system-prefernces-startup applications. [01:32] I just tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10, and i got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554229/ how do i find out what package is the culprit? (I don't touch pre-release stuff) and i have no pinned packages [01:32] clon00b: for an exact exact copy you might want to look into dd: from the terminal do: man dd [01:33] ubnoob, from system-prefernces-startup applications. [01:33] zaery: read the files they ask you to include in the bug report :) [01:33] jrib, but that's a big folder of stuff..... [01:33] milamber: ya, I saw that, but it needs a external hdd I think, Can I clone a partition to another partition using dd ? [01:33] zaery: btw I had the same issue, had to remove some xorg package and everything worked. It should contain dated directories each with update logs inside [01:34] dezine, very interesting question..no idea how to go about it, but one possibility might be to make compiz window rules, so all your windows open up in the general area of the good portion of the screen. [01:34] any app after you instelled ubuntu to do software raid on mirror disk [01:34] jrib, ah, will do then :) [01:34] ubnoob, also, once you add it, you will have to rebbot [01:35] zaery: if you're not sure what to do, feel free to pastebin the logs and poke me. It could be the same issue I had [01:35] ok, i'll try to reboot now [01:35] clon00b: yes. [01:35] dezine: you could also make a dock with awn in the broken part of your screen, and set it so no windows can cover it [01:35] YankDownUnder, I find the package in 'http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/gkrellm-i8k'. However,, when I unpack the .gz file, I don't find ./configure [01:35] Thanks for your help- i'll try it now [01:36] dezine just a couple ideas :D [01:36] YankDownUnder, tell me if I am intruding. I will understand. [01:36] dezine: for awn, the setting is panel mode, i think [01:37] ubnoob, ok [01:38] intrader: if you got source for release (debian) it is already configured (for debian). Either get "universl" source or run make [01:38] Thanks for the tips crawler. I could buy a new screen but I don't think it's worth it at this stage so I'll try those.

[01:40] Pici, yeah, but #ubuntu+1 is silent [01:40] * hylian nods [01:40] Does anyone know a terminal command to revert all settings to defaults? [01:40] So I guess I'd say a clean break. Or dead pixels? Just takes up the chunk of the bottom. [01:40] anyone know how to get RDP working on ubuntu [01:40] Adlai_: You may want to check the topic there then, there are issues at the moment.

The volume Filesystem root has only ***MB disc space remaining [01:41] ubottu: tell hylian about ubottu [01:41] hylian, please see my private message [01:41] intrader, apt-get build-essential => unpack source, run "./configure --prefix=/usr" => wait => compile with "sudo make && make install && ldconfig" => easy? [01:41] dezine: that should be easy then, yea just go for the empty awn dock at the bottom set to panel mode, it should suffice [01:41] Pici, yeah, it says something about lots of package updates, which could be it, but it would be nice to get some output saying exactly what dependency problems it's seeing so I can verify that [01:41] YankDownUnder, profit! [01:41] I guess that'll do. Thanks. [01:41] hmm, interesting. [01:41] guest9187: try "sudo apt-get clean" [01:41] Pici, but thanks [01:41] LoganJRuff, Profit is good. [01:42] dezine: or maybe even a regular gnome-panel will work ok...but with awn you will have more options [01:42] Time for food. [01:42] dezine good luck ;-D [01:42] anyone know how to reset all settings to defaults from cmd line? [01:42] milamber: thank you, gonna try that.. [01:43] arunce: Done: Check! [01:43] Thanks!

Is there a downside to doing that? [02:00] Hi, I am having trouble with an ubuntu system. It has been compromised and every evening it floods my network. I have tracked it down (ps -aux | grep perl) give the following [02:00] www-data 22967 70.2 0.1 3912 1520 ? R 00:44 51:40 /usr/bin/perl ./x 74.208.13.197 6667 0 [02:01] dabestharpis: you are already have the desktop installed. what exactly are you trying to do? [02:01] What do you recommend I do to avoid law enforcement ? i have traversed into some bad people and they might just have the power to get me into some trouble by manipulating the truth of events that haven taken place [02:01] fbnts, remove that x file [02:01] Adlai_, i need to develop my site locally and then upload to the hosting space [02:01] this relates to ubuntu [02:01] I have removed the files associated with it but it keeps coming back [02:01] bubuzzz, oh, yeah, you want rsync [02:01] It had put something in the crontab for www-data which I removed [02:01] because what do u recommend i do about windows 7 and my ubuntu install? should i erase everything and just install ubuntu with a huge password? [02:01] Adlai_, yup. will do that :D [02:01] fbnts: format, reinstall [02:02] noone trying to connect via 3g on ubuntu or my timing is just awful ? :P [02:02] intrader: no, make is just "pre install". Just revove folder to clean up after. [02:02] remove [02:02] I was dreading that - its a mythtv backend and will be an absolute pain [02:02] bubuzz, I agree with adlai, rsync is the way [02:02] fbnts, I would blow away your apache folder and try again, but if you want to track it down you probably can if you read that x script [02:02] fbnts: once a system is compromised that's really the only solution [02:02] fbnts, at the very least start by removing execute perms [02:03] yeah, I did find a forum post with a similar issue. I did find / -user www-data and removed all suspicious files [02:03] is it normal to have items in /proc owned by www-data? [02:03] fbnts, I'd like to see the script if you can post it somewhere [02:03] fbnts, absolutely not [02:04] fbnts, haha ok, yeah, your system's probably hosed if it's messing with /proc [02:04] this time the x file is /dev/shm/ddos [02:04] but has been in /var/tmp [02:04] jrib, from the bottom of this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554232/ it looks like some xorg thing is the offender, but i can't tell which one [02:04] TurmptTarp, call 911 [02:04] fbnts, yeah that sounds more than a naive attempt, just format and reinstall, sorry [02:05] zaery: looks like mine. In my case, I: sudo aptitude remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau [02:05] ok looks like I will have to backup my mythtv db [02:05] fbnts: NO! [02:05] YankDownUnder, when you say 'wait' what do you mean in 'intrader, apt-get build-essential => unpack source, run "./configure --prefix=/usr" => wait => compile with "sudo make && make install && ldconfig" => easy?' [02:05] fbnts, the only backing up you should be doing is with a pen and paper [02:05] can I keep my recordings or do I need a completely clean machine? [02:05] intrader, Yeah--rrrrr => running configure does make you wait... [02:05] fbnts, clean the machine completely [02:05] fbnts: install or make keylogger, remove private stuff from machine and wait. [02:06] TurmptTarp: lol, avoid law enforcement?.. I'm reminded of Jim Carrey's line... "Stop breaking the law ____hole" [02:06] I also have 300gb of DVD ISOs - could they be compromised? [02:06] fbnts, if you want to take the recordings somewhere isolated and put them back on the machine after a reinstall to see if they're corrupted, go for it, but you might need to reinstall a second time if your machine gets compromised again [02:06] Compromised now. [02:06] YankDownUnder, the unpacked stuff does not have the ./configure file (they say because it is preconfigure for debbian) [02:07] fbnts: and make sure to run (if you have) all, but logs in ro mode [02:07] I could copy them to my windoze desktop. Would a virus scanner on windoze detect if they have been compromised? [02:07] intrader, Then I'm stopped on that note. Unless you run like "autoconf" and "automake" => I know that gKrellm has fallen behind... [02:07] milamber: I am trying to install a GUI [02:08] Nothing on MS Windoze actually detects ANYTHING. [02:08] dabestharpis: according to that pastebin you have one. try typing from the terminal: startx [02:08] YankDownUnder: like that, nothing detects anything [02:09] fbnts, you could give it a shot, but I would expect a windows virus scanner to miss linux viruses almost certainly [02:09] YankDownUnder, it is a problem with the 'fan running all the time regardless of CPU load or temperature'. I found someone that cured if with that packaged that is not configurable to me. [02:09] btw I have the ddos.tgz which has the scripts in (I saw someone mention that they wanted to see a copy) and the proc that is owned by www-data is /proc/31556/ [02:09] fbnts, wait, is everything in /proc owned by www-data, or just that one process folder? [02:09] yeah I tried rkhunter but it didnt pick it up [02:10] anyone know a better on screen keyboard other then onboard? [02:10] fbnts: out of curiousity do you know how you were compromised? System not up to date on security updates? [02:10] no, just the /proc/31556 tree [02:10] YankDownUnder, nothing like the problems that fbnts has! [02:10] fbnts, oh that's normal [02:10] exit [02:10] fbnts, yeah I'd like to see that folder, can you upload it somewhere? [02:10] intrader, What about apt-get install fancontrol => have you tried that one yet? [02:11] yeah, give me 2 mins === IdleOne is now known as CIASquid [02:11] alright now my system still refuses too boot, at the begining there is an error "init: ureadahead process id (340) has terminated with status 5 or 1, changes sometimes" any ideas? the sys boots, but it does not give me a GUI it gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2 [02:11] fbnts, preferably somewhere it'll last for a couple days, I have to make sure my secure install is up to date before I unpack it there [02:11] yeah no probs I will put it on my vds === canadibaconian is now known as mythicalbox [02:12] YankDownUnder, would that be so simple? - it does install - should I reboot? [02:12] intrader, I'd reckon so [02:12] jrib, yup, that fixed it. I don't know why nouveau is doing anything in my proprietary driven nvidia system though...... [02:13] zaery: probably installed by default? I don't know === RobBeane is now known as eXistZ [02:13] just saw this screenshot: http://vindsl.com/images/pidgin-18-nov-2010.png anyone know the program on the right side in the background? the one that displays all the information [02:13] Steven_: conky [02:14] Steven_: that looks like conky with lua [02:14] this is the pastebin of find / -user www-data http://pastebin.com/eRascqru === Steven_ is now known as Steven-Anthony-B [02:14] YankDownUnder, I have lots and lots of open sfuff,, that will take some time. thanks. I hope that it helps. I must leave as wife is calling. I hope that it does not flood where you are! [02:14] Greetings, I have a bit of an odd issue. I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and I SSH in, start x11vnc, and vnc in over an ssh tunnel. It works fine for some-odd period of time, and, even when doing nothing, the vnc connection drops, reports "caught XIO error:" then "14/01/2011 18:57:13 deleted 60 tile_row polling images.", then closes itself, then about one second later the ssh connection loses connection [02:14] and the file is at http://www.multiplix.co.uk/ddos.tgz [02:14] When I get someone to check the computer it is fully locked up, on but the screen is black, no HD activity (which never happens, there is *always* activity), etc... [02:14] intrader, Can't upset the wife - I do it all the time - not good. [02:15] jrib, yeah, i guess installing it by default would make sense, and i've had this thing for years, now that i think about it, i could've installed it one time while messing around :D [02:16] oh btw although it keeps installing in different locations its the same file each time. the x file has an echo line: Enjoy FloodBot based on OverKill [02:16] if that helps [02:16] !clone | clon00b [02:16] clon00b, please see my private message [02:16] I have been using Ubuntu long enough now that I could never make the switch back to Windows, but there are some things I can just not put up with any longer. [02:16] fbnts, yeah ok, can you do a find / -user www-data as root? [02:17] 1) Every time some asshole presses my power button, he gets a shot at pressing enter before I can press escape to shut down my laptop. [02:17] fbnts, it looks like you didn't get everything, but maybe you did [02:17] And my power and escape buttons are right next to each other. [02:17] that was as root [02:17] !language | JoshDreamland [02:17] JoshDreamland: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:17] I can't set to suspend, because ubuntu only successfully suspends when it's not plugged in. [02:17] fbnts, oh ok, guess some things are just empty [02:18] fbnts, alright well thanks, I'll take a look at this this weekend hopefully [02:18] Any thoughts about my x11vnc causing ubuntu to lock up? [02:18] fbnts, see my pm [02:18] Does it reliably within a few hours of connection [02:19] hello, I need to know if moonlight supports netflix yet, so does it? [02:19] 2) If the nm-applet doesn't have a network it's set to connect to, it will never show! I am left completely helpless as I try to scrounge up some resource for help. I only recently realized it would show itself and connect if I set nearby connections to be activated automatically. [02:20] Why in God's name is the nm applet the sole authority on what I connect to?! Isn't there some other way to connect to a network? [02:20] okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas? [02:20] JoshDreamland, wpa_supplicant [02:21] Thanks, Adlai_; I'll write that one down for next time I'm in a pinch. [02:21] is there a interface like aero in win 7 where if you bring a window to the left or right of the screen it snaps? [02:21] coldfront_ I think kde does that but it's been a while [02:21] hello, I need to know if moonlight supports netflix yet, so does it? [02:22] Third and more recently, Ubuntu has decided that all portable media should be mounted as root. I have no permissions to my flash drive unless I call "sudo nautilus" and make my changes with that new window. Even then, the write speed is only about 100kbps. What is happening? === CIASquid is now known as IdleOne [02:22] umm yeah i like gnome [02:22] JoshDreamland, depends on the permissions on the actual flash drive, if you're coming from windows or something they'll be all futzed with, but you can chown them all and fix that [02:23] I didn't realize the NTFS had a place to put permissions [02:23] JoshDreamland, dunno about the write speed, you should check that you're using USB 2.0 and that your device is fully powered [02:23] JoshDreamland, it doesn't really, that's part of the problem; the ntfs driver has to fake it [02:24] It's doing a horrible job XD [02:24] it's doing the best job it can, ntfs's semantics don't match up with unix filesystem semantics [02:24] Yep [02:25] Oh, this is new. Now it just reports "the permissions of \"usb0\" could not be determined." [02:25] sup all [02:26] chown: changing ownership of `usb0': Operation not permitted === Guest35747 is now known as ogra [02:27] Anyone know a good preferably free hard drive imager? [02:27] When I drag a file into it, it gives ownership to root [02:27] okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas? [02:27] I found partimage, but it says it does not support ext4 [02:27] TornadoChas3r: clonezilla? [02:28] TornadoChas3r: clonezilla is pretty awesome... [02:28] TornadoChas3r: especially if you want to image a whole drivfe [02:29] okay, ill give it a shot [02:29] i had a couple questions for anyone about setting up ubuntu on me netbook [02:29] TornadoChas3r: they have some good walkthroughs on their website [02:29] PVCrew: ask [02:30] TornadoChas3r: dd [02:30] Can someone recommend an 8GB-ready flash drive format Windows and Linux can both read? [02:30] JoshDreamland: ntfs? [02:30] btw sta7ic i was able to fix my problem [02:30] I'm trying to get it to boot from usb and its starts to boot but it just stays on loading screen [02:30] That's as good as it can get? [02:30] KM0201: For compatibility the best is FAT32 [02:30] I just upgraded my motherboard and CPU and now have an Intel RAID controller instead of an nVidia one. The array shows up in /dev/mapper and I can use fdisk to create NTFS partitions that show up in Windows, but I can't mount the partitions since it gives me "The device doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS" no matter what I try. Any ideas? [02:30] PVCrew, i just set up unr on my tablet [02:31] PVCrew: the loading screen?... the ubuntu graphic, or where you choose to try ubuntu [02:31] I have it FAT32 now, but I'm getting these permission errors [02:31] alberto: for 8gig?.. maybe... but either one, fat32 or ntfs, will work fine [02:32] for some reason i can write to the hard disk again, i was able to get into the recoevry mode finally. But i noticed apt-get still gives me that error, if i recall someone else had a similar error with apt-get as well so i know better and im using aptitude now [02:32] Anyone else run into the problem with the ubuntu 10.10 install cd / dvd freezing as soon as you choose an option? [02:32] KM0201: Yea but there are a lot of devices that will not recognize NTFS, like media players and older BIOS [02:32] I was able to reinstall the newest kernel image and ran some other updates and so far so good [02:32] TornadoChas3r: dd is a linux command that copys block for block or something, just man dd [02:32] i changed it to boot from usb, it doesnt go to the unbuntu graphic at all it [02:32] alberto: well he didn't mention he had an old machine... and he'd alread said he was having a fat32 issue. [02:33] PVCrew: ok.. so what happens, you boot hte USB.. do you get a menu that lets you "try" ubuntu? [02:33] Before i recommended FAT32 ;) [02:33] TornadoChas3r: good to hear the good news [02:33] Ok, i'm having some issues with an USB card reader, wondering if someone can help [02:33] no not at all, its not giving me the menu...my bad im completly new to this and trying to figure it out [02:34] anyone ever set up postfix on uverse? I'm having trouble getting emails from my server [02:34] Formatting the drive fixed my problem, for no particular reason [02:34] PVCrew: no problem... how did you create the USB? [02:34] Well i just notcied one problem, i just installed the newsest kernel and now its hanging at Checking quotas. I may have to boot back into the older kernel or recovery mode and see if i can fix that /: [02:34] chrislabeard: Is there an inbound or outbound port 25 block? [02:34] The card shows, but everything in it is read only [02:34] Hi (ubuntu 10.10 32bit). I lost the ability to use my WINDOWS+E (and compiz expo) so I can move to another desktop. Is there a reset I can do to get it back? Thanks. [02:34] KB1JWQ: I'm not sure how do I check that [02:34] I can't reset the permissions, either [02:35] I was running ubuntu 10.04 using wubi, and decided to try out a partitioned install (true dual-boot) and now I can't get it to install off the cd or dvd.... [02:35] Greetings, I have a bit of an odd issue. I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and I SSH in, start x11vnc, and vnc in over an ssh tunnel. It works fine for some-odd period of time, and, even when doing nothing, the vnc connection drops, reports "caught XIO error:" then "14/01/2011 18:57:13 deleted 60 tile_row polling images.", then closes itself, then about one second later the ssh connection loses connection [02:35] When I get someone to check the computer it is fully locked up, on but the screen is black, no HD activity (which never happens, there is *always* activity), etc...

[02:36] chrislabeard: Port 25 outbound is blocked then. Talk to your provider or seek an alternate solution. [02:37] Alex__K: you need to list the partitions not the device itself [02:37] anyone had problems and preferably solutions to 3g modem problems in ubuntu ? :) [02:37] Alex__K: try fdisk -l /device name [02:38] chrislabeard: Try port 587 instead. [02:38] I have a 27" widescreen monitor attached to my laptop, every once in a while, Ubuntu will shut either screen, sometimes both, and will flip flop the priority monitor around. Is there anyway that I can keep the monitors permanently the way I want them (even when shutting off the attached monitor) and not have Ubuntu freak out? [02:38] canthus13: Where do I change th port [02:38] chrislabeard: depends on the mail client. Or the telnet client. [02:38] I followed the step-by-step instructions given at ubuntu.com for both cd and dvd installation and both discs freeze when an option is chosen at the "try ubuntu, install ubuntu" menu (yes, I've tried them all on both the cd and dvd). I don't know how to proceed, I'd really like to install ubuntu on its own partition(s)... [02:38] canthus13: I'm just using postfix [02:39] sta7ic: http://pastebin.com/yWqmsLLv [02:39] exxit [02:39] okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas? [02:39] exit [02:39] chrislabeard: Somewhere in the config file. [02:39] * canthus13 dunno where, though. [02:39] Tobei: How long do you wait for the disk to go to the desktop? It can take up to 2 minutes sometimes, depending on the hardware. [02:39] logout [02:39] Ah, found something in mandriva's bug tracker (not in ubuntu's?) about x11vnc segfaulting X Anyone experience that in Ubuntu? [02:39] chrislabeard: Most ISPs don't block 587, which is SMTP/SSL, but usually accepts plaintext as well. [02:40] Sc00t3r:I waited an average of 7 minutes (about how long it takes me to make a cofee and go outside for a smoke) [02:40] canthus13: k [02:40] Alex__K: in your command you need to put the 1 not mount -t ntfs-3g isw_iageihica_Data /media/intelraid, try mount -t ntfs-3g isw_iageihica_Data1 /media/intelraid [02:40] •sc00t3r• I realized they were frozen when the numlock, capslock and scrolllock keys didn't turn on or off the lights on the keyboard... [02:40] Tobei: What are your system specifications? Also, have you tried using the USB installation? [02:40] Alex__K: sorry looks like u did already [02:40] Alex__K: hmmm [02:41] urg, new problem. It was working fine I was able to boot, now it wont start it hangs on checking quotas [02:41] chrislabeard: #postfix exists for these questions. [02:41] canthus13: What's the issue? Perhaps I can provide an opinion? [02:41] Alex__K: this is the problem, not sure why it doesnt think its ntfs, you may need to change the partition label type to NTFS [02:42] Sc00t3r: chrislabeard having problems with port 25 being blocked.

I'd like some pointers on udev rules... the install was supposed to create rules but it didn't [02:44] chrislabeard: Have you checked your router's firewall settings to ensure that you are not having the port blocked by the router? It's pretty common to have that happen.

[02:54] oops [02:55] Alex__K: it changes so much for me, used to be lsvg oh well i dont know sorry sounds like a volume group more than RAID [02:55] KM0201: i am trying to taruce the language from english to espanish we do everything but we dont change the language becouse 10.10 dont have a root user by default [02:55] bugs_bugger: 64-bit x86 will run 32-bit x86 as well since 64-bit x86 CPU's have 32-bit support with a simple kernel flag (which is built in so you do not even need to think of it other then 'it works'). [02:55] so y wish to run language manager whit gksu [02:55] curiousx: did you go to system/admin/language support? [02:55] sta7ic, the boot issue is that it will not give me my login screen, my gui, it will shouw ubuntu 10.10 in white text with a purple background and then it will just bring me to a black, terminal screen, like a run level 1, and it will ask me my login and pass [02:55] Curly_Q: irssi [02:55] OvermindDL1: but how am i going to keep all the files in one folder from which my program is executable. usually, when compiling, make would install bins into /usr/bin and libs into some other folder etc [02:56] yes but dont want to change i guess that i need root privilages [02:56] bugs_bugger: That is what you are supposed to do, why do you want to keep everything in one folder? [02:56] curiousx: if you need root priv. it will tell you you need root priv. [02:56] bluezone_: best thing to do is turn of gdm or whatever loads X, and try to fix issue and start gdm via console so u dont have to keep rebooting after every thing u try [02:56] OvermindDL1: mhh...just a second. im trying to get aim straight.... [02:56] Cowlicks I have used an older version of irssi, but what are the advantages there? Irssi was a seemingly text IRC client then. What is new with it? Does it use SSH? [02:57] bugs_bugger: http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/index.html [02:57] bluezone_: also, ./gdm start - may give you more info if u try to run the service in full (not single user) and from the console [02:57] sta7ic, but how will i fix the issue if i don't even know what wrong? :( [02:57] the user i am trying to help that user and he tolme that the windows dont do anything just frizz [02:57] bluezone_: the hope is that the console will give u more info of what it doesnt like after it fails it will spit out a lot of crap [02:58] excuseme my english is not to good =P [02:58] okay let me try [02:58] OvermindDL1: what i would like to have is a way to compile sources that way i can wrap em up in an archive and extract em on another system and execut em right away [02:58] bugs_bugger: As per the above link, technically you can put everything in, say, /usr/share/myprogram and that will work, just make a symlink to /usr/share/bin or whatever [02:59] bugs_bugger: Oh, so you do not care about proper installation? [02:59] bugs_bugger: You can do that fine, as long as it is the right architecture, it should 'just work' [02:59] curiousx: gksudo gnome-language-selector but i don't think that will have the desired effect [02:59] bugs_bugger: Run it from your home directory is fine [02:59] thanks KM0201 i will try =) [03:00] other wise i will tell the user that install ubuntu on disk [03:00] One of the first Linux IRC Clients I used was BitchX. That seemed to work OK at the time though. [03:00] ubuntu is on VM rigth now [03:00] bitchX is too old xD [03:01] Curly_qL irssi is close to BX [03:01] Greetings, I have a bit of an odd issue. I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and I SSH in, start x11vnc, and vnc in over an ssh tunnel. It works fine for some-odd period of time, and, even when doing nothing, the vnc connection drops, reports "caught XIO error:" then "14/01/2011 18:57:13 deleted 60 tile_row polling images.", then closes itself, then about one second later the ssh connection loses connection [03:01] When I get someone to check the computer it is fully locked up, on but the screen is black, no HD activity (which never happens, there is *always* activity), etc... [03:01] Is Irssi a SSH client? [03:01] Irssi is irc [03:01] OvermindDL1: i got the architecture thing wrong. i dont care about that, i could build two versions, x64 and x86. but what i want to achieve is to have that program being executable right out of the archive without creating any symlinks. all dependencies should be contained in the programs folder itself [03:01] Ipv6 compatible? [03:02] OvermindDL1: ssh is finicky over bad network cables [03:02] OvermindDL1: did i get out right now? [03:02] Why bugs bugger? [03:02] bugs_bugger: That is perfectly fine, as long as the program is programmed in such a way to get all of its files from its own directory (or cwd if you prefer) it would work. [03:02] What is wrong with distributed a deb or something? Or is this a very temporary program? [03:03] Why not just build it on the remote computers too? [03:03] Curly_Q: because bugs bugger ^^ [03:03] Sta7ic what does a network cable have to do with ssh? [03:03] I have no clue if irrsi is ipv6 compatible, although it would really surprise me if it was not. [03:03] well, i dont have root rights on my universitys pool :$ [03:04] okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas?, i am currently trying something, but more info is appreciated [03:04] bugs_bugger: And? users can still install it locally === bread_ is now known as breadcrumb [03:04] bugs_bugger: local_install [03:04] bugs_bugger: instead of install [03:04] Does the Chromium package in Lucid stay updated with the latest Chromium releases? [03:04] bugs_bugger: or just do not install it and run it directly [03:04] OvermindDL1: darn! didnt know about that....oh my [03:04] Please help me with huawei k3715 on 10.10 [03:04] mr_chris: No, personally experience... [03:04] Curly_Q: ive seen ssh work fine, and then when in interactive mode not work, bad cable was the root cause ssh is very picky and sometimes can work then one thing crassh and burn [03:05] OvermindDL1: how am i supposed to run it directly? [03:05] bugs_bugger: as long as your make file supports local_install that will work fine, or as stated, just do not install it and run it directly [03:05] OvermindDL1: Personally experience? [03:05] What is your suggestion Sta7ic? [03:05] It works sometimes yes and sometimes not, like not plugged [03:05] Curly_Q: nothing long shot, dont rule out a network cable to the computer u are sshing into or from thats all [03:05] bugs_bugger: when you "make" it builds all the files, "make install" just copies those built files to wherever, when you just 'make' without the install you can just access those temp files directly, usually in ./bin in most setups, or whatever you set it up as [03:05] mr_chris, ubuntu aims for stability (thus not newest anything usually), is you want a more cutting edge Chromium https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa [03:06] Have you some thing to tell me about? [03:06] Curly_Q: just for common knowledge: bugger is pretty british and is an exclaim made in annoyance of s.th. [03:06] hellppp, i am trying to edit a .conf file in /etc/ and it wont let me save it, what do i do? [03:06] ZykoticK9: Ok. Thanks. I'm just looking to keep with the latest stable updates. I'll go with standard chrome, then. [03:06] ZykoticK9: And yet x11vnc locks up the computer... [03:06] OvermindDL1: ah, i see... [03:07] ZykoticK9: The one that is in the Ubuntu repository itself to boot... [03:07] Curly_Q: only reason i know this is at work, we did 'ssh command' and it would fail, but then 'ssh -i command' would work, and replaced the cabled and botjh worked, bizairre [03:07] OvermindDL1, then repot a bug ;) [03:07] My remote server is still down, no one on site yet, freaking cnv server... [03:07] OvermindDL1: so, lets hope i dont need to be root to execute make in the first place... [03:07] i am trying to edit a .conf file in /etc/ and it wont let me save it, what do i do? [03:07] Sta7ic I have need to say that if an SSH Client is there an SSH Server should be at the ready. Is that sensible to you? [03:07] Why does Ubuntu need the 2 bug reporting programs bug-buddy and ubuntu-bug? Why is it not enough to have one bug reporting program? [03:07] steff12321: try 'sudo vi conf.file' [03:08] steff12321, use sudo or gksu depending on editor [03:08] steff12321: How are you trying to edit it? Are you editing it as root? [03:08] yes, but i want to open it up as a text editor, not as a terminal window [03:08] open as root [03:08] steff12321: that makes no sense [03:08] steff12321, "gksu gedit /etc/PATH/TO/FILE" [03:08] steff12321: vi is a text editor [03:08] thanks [03:08] KM0201: he doit itself xD but your help was right my friend thx =) [03:09] curiousx: strange.. but.. ok [03:09] bugs_bugger: No, you can run make as user, 'make install' requires root, 'make local_install' can be run as a normal user [03:09] OvermindDL1: ok, nice... [03:09] bugs_bugger: Assuming you put in a local_install thing [03:10] Hey, if I have leandro_ remove a translation entry from one of Banshee's files, will that item disappear from its context menu? [03:10] Overm [03:10] OvermindDL1: [03:10] Or will it default to the english translation? [03:10] oops...damn.... [03:10] Heh [03:10] stupid autocomplete... [03:11] yes to me olso seems strange the reazon is that he has ubuntu on VM and he toldme that he did not can choose the keyboard and language =P [03:11] okay okay, now i got rid of that error message, however my system still fails to boot my GUI and only gives me a terminal similar to cntrl alt f2, I can only boot my gui in graphial safe mode, which means it is probably an issue with a video card driver i have installed, any ideas?, i am currently trying something, but more info is appreciated [03:12] but i teel him that he use a little days and he install on disk =) [03:12] OvermindDL1: i try if the sources are capable of handling local_install. btw, there's no such way for deb's i guess? [03:12] bugs_bugger: Nope, but a deb is just a .tar.gz, you can extract it locally and run them directly anyway, sometimes need to set some environment variables to get the program to run locally, but it runs [03:13] bugs_bugger: Well, a deb 'might' have something akin to local_install, I have never looked... [03:13] bugs_bugger: Hmm... [03:13] what is the administrative password? [03:13] OvermindDL1: well, it seems i learned some new stuff tonite....never had the idea to "file" a deb to see what it actually is.... [03:13] * mzuverink is away: Gone and got busy [03:14] !root | steff12321 [03:14] steff12321: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:14] bugs_bugger: Extract the .tar.gz part out with ar vx the file.deb [03:14] * KM0201 embraces sudo [03:14] bugs_bugger: Extract the .tar.gz part out with ar vx the_file.deb [03:15] OvermindDL1: what does the vx argument do? [03:15] bugs_bugger: http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_ar.htm [03:16] bugs_bugger, you might need "tar zxvf FILE" if DEBs really are tar.gz (i didn't know that, interesting) [03:16] but its asking me for an administrative password [03:16] bugs_bugger: verbose and extract in other words, it extracts a data.tar.gz out of it [03:16] bugs_bugger: And that has all the file information [03:17] steff12321, what is? [03:17] its asking me for an administrative password and mine is not working [03:17] gksb [03:17] gksb** [03:17] or gedit [03:17] Well, deb's are not strictly .tra.gz, they are just tar's, or archives, whichever... [03:17] one of those [03:17] ar works [03:17] if you are running something with sudo, it requires the password of whatever user you are currently using [03:18] OvermindDL1: nice...will try that asap. im just ssh-ing into my university's pool to see wether i can compile local_install.... [03:18] umm how to start ubuntu guys [03:18] they contain three files, a debian-binary, the data.tar.gz, and something else [03:18] i used this command [03:18] i just installed and i can work the windows desktop version [03:18] gksb gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf [03:18] stealthc, "gksu" [03:18] steff12321, ^ [03:18] Help.. cannot install 10.10 on a PC... the installer hangs at "No value set for key : `/apps/netbook-launcher/favorites_list" [03:19] ...how to troubeshoot this?

[03:22] donvito : can you be more specific please? the answer for the exact question you asked is unplug your router, and plug back in, but i dont think that is what you mean [03:22] ifup [03:22] if down [03:22] no error message just no exe's or anything that windows can run even in C:\Ubuntu [03:22] that was the command looks [03:22] bugs_bugger: Heh, not without already having admin access. ;-) [03:22] donvito: you'll need sudo but i think that should do it [03:22] i have sudo [03:22] just dont know the command ifup if down [03:22] if up wlan0 && [03:22] bugs_bugger: Why not convince them to switch to Ubuntu Server Cloud, then each student can have their own virtual computer to do what they want?

[03:31] bullgard: I tried google -- no luck [03:32] ubu_noob: I am sorry that I cannot help you. [03:32] ubu_noob, my googling only turned up the same error (no suggestions/solution, seems like it's for an unrelated bug) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/658970/comments/4 [03:32] ubu_noob: use the normal version of ubuntu, the launcher is just a fancy desktop filler for the programs menu [03:33] ubu_noob: You might try 10.04 [03:33] usr13: I am booting from the install CD... I guess an early stage because the screen is just purple with some dots, three white, two red [03:33] ubu_noob, could you try installing desktop instead? you can simply install the Unity interface on desktop then have the choice of the two. [03:33] OvermindDL1: mhh....i will mention it if an opportunity presents itself. but i guess there are some good reasons they build it the way it is [03:33] It's the desktop install CD, yes [03:33] thanks anyway .. bye ! [03:33] ubu_noob: You could also try alternate CD [03:33] ubu_noob, are you sure about that? [03:34] ubu_noob: Is this your first Linux install? [03:34] what's the alternate CD? [03:34] ubu_noob, alternate is the Debian text based installer - instead of fancy GUI Ubuntu one [03:34] x_ system - preferences -- sound shows no devices? [03:34] Zyko.. sure that it's the desktop install CD? the file is called "ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso"... is that what I want? [03:34] plupke, no, my hdmi is shown and the program it outputs to is shown I just get no audio [03:35] OvermindDL1: they got their own nifty server system anyways. supports ssh connection and the graphical nx-client [03:35] !tab | ubu_noob [03:35] ubu_noob: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[03:35] x_ then your 1 step ahead of me, same problem here but i don't see any device [03:36] ubu_noob: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [03:36] Why does Ubuntu need the 2 bug reporting programs bug-buddy and ubuntu-bug? Why is it not enough to have one bug reporting program? [03:36] ok, I'll try the alternate CD, thanks [03:36] * KM0201 prefers the alt. install cd [03:36] bullgard4, ubuntu-bug is the standard bug reporting mechanism, i'm not familiar with bug-buddy [03:37] ubu_noob: Could be bad media, could be hardware issue, etc. etc. [03:37] ZykoticK9: Thank you for commenting. [03:37] usr13: i've just never saw that error freeze the cd... i've gotten it many many times, and i just wait a little longer, and eventually the cd moves past it. [03:38] usr13: yes, many possibilities -- trying to narrow them down is my first task :/ [03:41] while I'm waiting for the download, here's another question: I'm looking at some open source software that comes in a Debian package but there's a note "does not work with ubuntu yet". This is confusing to me because I thought Ubuntu was derived from Debian. Any ideas? [03:42] what alternative to brasero exists for making cds? [03:42] mp3 cds [03:42] ubu_noob, ubuntu is based of debian, but it is different... [03:42] alright, well noone has answered my question, how do i edit a .conf docunment with admin privelages [03:42] bp0: gnomebaker [03:42] i just need the command [03:42] Hey, I'm trying to debug a driver problem in a wireless driver, would it help to compile a kernel that is a bit more debug friendly, is there one available, or does the stock kernel provide "good" enough debug support? [03:42] and it cant be gksu, that does not work [03:42] steff12321: gksudo gedit /path/to/file [03:43] thanks [03:43] steff12321: sure it does, you're just not doing it right [03:43] steff12321: gksu would have worked just fine [03:43] ill try gksudo [03:44] steff12321, gksu = gksudo [03:44] hi guys..i've been provisioned a VPS with a couple of extra ip's [03:44] steff12321: they're the same thing... if it wasn't working before, you were doing something wrong [03:44] and i'm running ubuntu (headless) [03:44] is there any other way of doing it? [03:44] in ifconfig -a i can see the ifb0 and ifb1 interface [03:45] steff12321: what exactly are you trying to do? [03:45] edit a vsftpd.conf doc [03:45] steff12321, what is the path to the file? [03:45] but when i set my ips up in /etc/network/interfaces and restart it all of a sudden the box is not contactable remotely - i have to get in via the console [03:45] techitch, one very long question is better than many small lines. [03:46] lol sorry - i dont have the mental capacity to generate a sentance longer than 20 words [03:46] ./etc/vsftpd.conf [03:46] techitch, I don't want a long sentence. I want a paragraph on one line :-P [03:47] steff12321, ./ means current directory - doesn't seem right. do you mean /etc/vsftpd.conf also doesn't seem likely. [03:47] without the . [03:47] consolidated question - i've been provisioned a VPS with a couple of extra ip's, and i'm running ubuntu (headless), in ifconfig -a i can see the ifb0 and ifb1 interface , but when i set my ips up in /etc/network/interfaces and restart it all of a sudden the box is not contactable remotely - i have to get in via the console [03:47] i did that because otherwise mirc would take it as a command [03:47] i added comma's especially for you [03:47] steff12321, "gksu gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf" then [03:48] how can I find out which files is in use by a certain program? [03:48] techitch, can you pastebin your interfaces file? [03:48] KM0201, thanks, perfect [03:48] worked great [03:48] bp0: i don't remember what i told you, but i'm glad it worked..lol [03:49] gnomebaker [03:49] techitch, can you give an example of ifconfig -a after restarting? [03:49] what shell should I have on FTP users under ProFTPd? I can't have the users accessing shell though! [03:49] ok one sec..

Sorry i don't do KDE, good luck. [03:50] i could upgrade manager but i want it fresh [03:50] sorry about that [03:50] i have messed this one over a lot [03:50] alright [03:50] jeeves_moss, it's /bin/false - not /usr/sbin/false [03:50] any help im grateful [03:50] steff12321: and i think you need to use kdesu... bu tnot 100%... thats really a kde specific thing [03:50] ZykoticK9, thanks. one sec, going to try it [03:51] ZykoticK9, same thing [03:51] jeeves_moss, "login failed" are you trying to log in with it? I thought that was what you where trying to avoid. [03:52] hello [03:52] this is the output from the proftpd.log file http://pastebin.com/zWbrdPY6 [03:52] hi [03:52] What's teh command for finding out my JAVA_HOME directory? [03:52] done, thans [03:52] thanks* === bullgard4_ is now known as bullgard4 [03:52] ZykoticK9, I need to be able to allow FTP ONLY logins (no shell account access) [03:52] bugs_bugger: Sorry I took so long to respond, I am at work. Yes, and they could hoist their entire system into such virtual systems on ubuntu server cloud, would give them more reliability, greater failover, among many other advancements. [03:52] smw - http://paste.ubuntu.com/554253/ [03:52] DarkStar1, echo $JAVA_HOME ? [03:52] jeeves_moss, sorry don't know then. Good luck. [03:52] ZykoticK9, thanks [03:52] those are before & after [03:53] bugs_bugger: If you host more then one server machine, ubuntu server cloud is always better from what I have seen. [03:53] techitch, what about ifconfig? [03:54] ifconfig from after i restart networking with the updated config? [03:54] techitch, I suggest taking an ifconfig when internet is down and piping it to a file. Then get network working and send it to me [03:54] jeeves_moss, be aware FTP should be avoided if possible, all passwords are sent in clear text. SSH supports file transfers if that is an option. === RobBeane_ is now known as RobBeane [03:54] OvermindDL1: nevermind. im about to fall to sleep anyway ^^ just meddling with some sources here. its 5 am.... [03:54] techitch, yes [03:54] ok [03:54] techitch, does ping work when you can't ssh? [03:54] bugs_bugger: Ah but is it early for you, onl 10pm here... [03:54] only* [03:55] smw: It would seem I don't have one :( [03:55] hi, I want to upgrade to the 10.10version but I get an error message [03:55] OvermindDL1: so wheres base for you? im in europe, gmt+1 [03:55] several packages not found [03:55] bugs_bugger: USA GMT-7 [03:55] OvermindDL1: UTC +1 to be more accurate ^^ [03:55] DarkStar1, ok, so it is whatever the default is. I got no idea what it is :-\ [03:55] ZykoticK9, thre is some custom software on this server that requires FTP [03:56] Zykotick9: I have been curious, I use SSH, and I transfer files over sftp, but sometimes I have to sudo in ssh to access a file, is there anyway to transfer such a file back to me over ssh? [03:56] OvermindDL1: greets from over the sea :D im just unpacking a deb of DropBox here. will see if its executable [03:56] jeeves_moss, gotcha. Good luck. [03:56] Does anyone in here have dual monitor issues with Ubuntu? [03:56] bugs_bugger: Heh, if the deb does not work get the source and 'make' (no install) it and it will work. :0 [03:56] :) * [03:56] OvermindDL1, sounds like a permission issue if you must sudo, i have no idea man. sorry. [03:56] OvermindDL1: will do [03:56] ChipDSnow: My dual-monitors work, so not I [03:57] ChipDSnow, i plug a extra monitor into my laptop every day, well, at least every work day [03:57] ChipDSnow, are you using nvidia? [03:57] Zykotick9: Yeah, a user owns the file, but the user is not a 'real' user and you cannot log in as that user, but I need to get it on occasion (a log), and it would be easier to transfer it locally then viewing remotely, but I just view it remotely since I have yet to figure out how to 'sudo' in sftp... [03:58] ZykoticK9: I believe so. === jamie is now known as redneck05 [03:58] ChipDSnow, "lspci | grep -i vga" will tell you for sure. [03:58] OvermindDL1, sftp'ing as root would work, would it not? [03:58] ChipDSnow: I have ATI, and dual-monitor works fine (but I get x11vnc crashyness instead) [03:58] zaery: Disabled due to permissions that I do not really 'want' to change... [03:58] has anyone else had this message when upgrading to 10.10? Failed to fetch http://co.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/k/kdepimlibs/kdepimlibs5_4.5.1-0ubuntu1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [03:59] where does GDM store its settings? [03:59] smw: nvm I just had to do an update db and look [03:59] OvermindDL1, you're right in disabling root login over ssh, that is a GOOD plan. [03:59] smw - http://paste.ubuntu.com/554254/ [03:59] hey i have a problom with my usb thumb drive it keeps sayin job is pending on /dev/sdb1 how do i fix that [03:59] hi [04:00] OvermindDL1, i can't think of an easy way, but you could ssh, then cp the file into a readable location, then view it with sftp :/ [04:00] ZykoticK9: Just a generic Intel video chip. It flip-flops between my laptop and 2nd monitor, or will turn off, sometimes both. [04:00] techitch, what is dummy0? === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [04:00] moovida its opensource?? or its only free? [04:00] I'm trying to figure out why. Never seen something like this in a forum setting before. [04:00] how can i make ubuntu load faster i dual boot from win 7 and ubuntu but ubuntu takes like 5 mins to boo [04:00] zaery: Heh, true, but it updates *often*, a lot of work. ;-) [04:00] techitch, and can you ping from it? ping google [04:00] ChipDSnow, sorry i have only used dual monitor with nvidia - best of luck. [04:00] nope [04:00] struhevol: From what drive? Mine takes about 20 seconds to load... [04:00] struhevol, which version of ubuntu is this? [04:01] 10 [04:01] techitch, type ifconfig dummy0 down [04:01] struhevol: 10.04 or 10.10? [04:01] struhevol, both 10.04 and 10.10 should start MUCH faster then 5 minutes [04:01] c drive [04:01] techitch, then ping again. Next try ifconfig eth0 up [04:01] yea 10.4 lts [04:01] struhevol: but what partition type EXT4, NTFS, etc...? [04:01] i did the side by side option [04:02] struhevol: So ext4 I hope? [04:02] yea [04:02] thats the one [04:02] OvermindDL1: Its working!! [04:02] tried both [04:02] ext4 / [04:02] redneck05, I had a problem exactly like that, but with a hard drive, turns out, the drive was failing, and I had to use testdisk to fix it, and all i got was a lost+found folder full of all of my files [04:02] neither works [04:02] bugs_bugger: Hah, awesome. [04:03] testdisk [04:03] techitch, I have never seen this before. What is eq1 and dummy0? [04:03] hum....

If so you could just use x11vnc to vnc into it over your ssh connection with an ssh tunnel [04:04] nothing.. [04:04] bugs_bugger: Since you are using putty and are on windows [04:05] techitch, what does it say? 100% packet loss? [04:05] it just sits there [04:05] and then i ctrl+c [04:05] and thres no output [04:05] techitch, odd... [04:05] ahh actually [04:05] when i did the google dns ip [04:05] it says 100% packet loss [04:06] OvermindDL1: yep, i am. its currently the only machine working here. since its a really old pc i did not even get xubuntu installed. weird enough: windows xp runs quite smoothly [04:06] i think it wasnt resolving before [04:06] anybody help me with 3g and wwan in 10.04 ??

[04:10] hi r00t4rd3d [04:10] techitch, not sure what it is, but the ip address listed in interfaces for eth0 and the one in ifconfig are different [04:10] or that u dont know [04:10] oh [04:10] r00t4rd3d launchpad.net need to verify with meta, html, dns, or google analytics [04:10] thats cuz i changed that [04:10] techitch, I guess it is failing to read it.

[04:30] OvermindDL1: tha....Zzz [04:30] shcherbak, no, that is my internet card [04:30] m4v sorry jejeje [04:30] wolter: oh looks like your atempting to read from a none exiting or badly syntaxed mirror site [04:30] How do I reload my .bashrc? [04:30] can I airplay to my ubuntu machine? [04:30] bluezone, did you try something from here http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/sb/cs-006408.htm [04:30] smw, heres the weird thing, i commented out the ifb0 and ifb1 interfaces restarted networking and now its working again on eth0 but i try pinging ifb0 and ifb1 and it works [04:31] they still appear in ifconfig though [04:31] DarkStar1, try . .bashrc [04:31] without having to log out [04:31] DarkStar1, the easy way is just type "bash" to load a new shell, but there is a better way [04:31] DarkStar1, i think by using the "source" command [04:31] ranjan, DarkStar1 source = . right? [04:31] ranjan, already did, no luck, upgrading kernel fixed the problem though, i upgraded to 2.6.36-020636-generic #201010210905 [04:32] ranjan: never used that command before but I'll look into it. thanx [04:32] wolter, i think its source filename [04:32] wolter: I must have missed something, I don't see anything above that states you are building from ppa === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [04:32] sacarlson, no, i'm not using a ppa, but I think you nailed it, maybe my mirror is incomplete or something [04:32] Naia: Is it 1tb drive your system does not "see"? [04:33] shcherbak: No. That's external drive, usb connected. [04:34] ranjan: Thx. that seems to have dome the job :) [04:34] DarkStar1, Thanks to the Great Community ;) [04:35] ranjan: Aye.. Thank you all ppl :) [04:35] DarkStar1, :) [04:35] shcherbak: Excuse me a moment. I'll put system back the way it was, restart and show the original setup. A moment, please. [04:35] the moment of truth, be right back [04:35] Naia: ok, what drives should be visible? 650, 750, 20 Gb? [04:37] bluezone: what graphic card do you have?# [04:39] Where can I find a somewhat detailed description what '~$ service network restart' does? [04:40] bullgard4, it shouldn't do anything other then give the error "network: unrecognized service" [04:40] how to make neatx accept keys rather than passwords? [04:42] bullgard4: networking [04:42] ZykoticK9: If your statement is true then the command is pretty useless. Do you want to tell me this? [04:42] shcherbak: Can you elaborate. [04:43] * bluezone shoots himself and then hangs himself [04:43] lol [04:43] bullgard4, in older versions of ubuntu I had no problems restarting the network with "/etc/init.d/networking restart" but recent versions I just reboot to refresh networking to be honest [04:43] now i can get the system to boot properly and i have the open-source driver activated but i still cant change the resolution and my monitor is not detected [04:44] bullgard4: sudo service networking [04:44] !upstart | bullgard4 [04:44] bullgard4: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [04:44] and when i load the nvidia x server settings it tells me to edit my x configuration file ? [04:45] bluezone: remove nvidia driver, jockey-text or in menu. [04:45] shcherbak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554268/ [04:45] bluezone, if you are using the OS nvidia driver then nvidia-settings no longer applies [04:45] bullgard4: on mine service network restart returns network: unrecognized service , but normaly service I think runs the script found in /etc/init.d/network so if you have that file there you can read what's in it to find out what it does [04:45] bluezone, nvida-xconfig [04:46] Naia: What drives do you want to see? [04:46] bluezone, nvidia-xconfig ** [04:46] shcherbak: CD/DVD Player and DVD-+R/Lightscribe. [04:46] r00t4rd3d, VALIDATION ERROR: Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

[04:46] sorry :( [04:47] seems you have to edit your xorg.conf file [04:47] ZykoticK9, yeah but installing the other driver doesnt work either, i already mentioned my problems abouve if u were here awhile ago [04:48] I'm trying to run a program at certain time just once. I dl'd another program to do this with a GUI but I can't remeber what it was called. [04:48] r00t4rd3d, wonderful lol [04:49] bluezone, nvidia-xconfig said in it's output that it created a new xorg.conf for you. [04:49] bluezone, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6592005 [04:49] goto step 2 [04:49] nevermind qprogram-starter [04:50] r00t4rd3d, FYI nv is outdated at this point bluezone - I don't think the nouveau driver is called nv [04:50] gizmobay: I run a gui called gnome-schedule [04:50] fallout new vegas is outdated for a long time now [04:50] thanks sacarlson [04:51] fallout 3 was outdated less than a yaer after its release [04:51] Naia: it is very easy, remove both. take empty ide and hook up one drive, boot to bios. do same with second drive (do not slave them yet). if your bios recognise them hook both up, slave if needed. [04:51] bluezone, nv "might" still work though === jammin is now known as B3nJammin [04:51] it doesn't work well in wine either [04:51] shcherbak: Using sata ... [04:51] ZykoticK9, at this point i am oppened to even going back to ubuntu 1.0 if both my wireless and video card drivers work :( [04:51] help, I installed the nvidia drivers under the repository here: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html but now when I load up "Hardware Drivers" it tells me "This driver is activated but not currently in use". I try to run xconfig but get this error: sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found" Should I install fglrx-installer [04:52] bluezone, lol - there was never an ubuntu 1.0 - but i get your point [04:52] Naia: did you tried to remove one? [04:52] ZykoticK9, yep lol [04:52] shcherbak: No... I'll do that now. [04:52] is there a decent way to format man pages for printing from gedit? Currently, I have a lot of sloppy text wrapping. === PVCrew is now known as indras [04:53] Also I am running 10.04, and have an EVGA GTX460 so the package in the official repositories is too old [04:54] watermains: I had problems with my nvidia in a similar way, I just deleted --purged what I did in synaptic and others and used the System>Administration>Hardware drivers, [04:54] r00t4rd3d, for some reason, i cannot do this step: Find Driver "nvidia" line in Device section, replace it with Driver "nv" and save the file [04:55] because nvidia is not in the device section [04:56] sacarlson: yeah here's my issue though. When i booted up from a fresh install, there was nothing listed under "Hardware Drivers". nothing would install until I selected nvidia-current from apt on the command line or synaptic [04:56] watermains: or you could try direct from nvidea site if that fails [04:56] sacarlson: yep, from nvidia site is a last resort. the troubling thing is, I have 260.xxx installed, but it isn't configuring [04:56] shcherbak: I remove the simple DVD player and nothing shows up in Places>Computer. [04:57] watermains: what do you mean isn't configuring? [04:57] you know what (@#$ this (#@# (sorry) but (@#$ i am reformatting and clean install, lol i am losing my mind [04:57] bluezone, this may sound extreme, but have you considered developing a driver for your video card? [04:57] haha [04:58] * bluezone realizes that if he can't install one that he can't develop one [04:58] lol [04:58] Naia: ls /dev/cd* [04:58] process of elimination but very broad [04:58] I mean sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found [04:59] just keep trying and i am sure you can setup a half decent one and people can help maybe. we are open source [04:59] shcherbak: ls: cannot access /dev/cd*: No such file or directory [04:59] after I have installed nvidia-current [04:59] Naia: is it powered, can you open tray? [04:59] ZykoticK9: Thank you for commenting. [04:59] TurmptTarp, i've scrwed with this 2 days now, i don't think theres something viable that i haven't tried yet [04:59] Hey, I'm using Gnome with Window Selector. Sometimes it doesn't display all of the windows. Anyone know what this is about? [05:01] aLemmer: I've had this issue now and again. I think it's Compiz occasionally arguing with Metacity. You can explicitly set some options in gconf-editor [05:01] watermains: apears the nvidea 260.19.29 is the latest, after installed did you see the System>Administration>Nvidea server settings ? [05:01] el_seano: Could you elaborate on what that might be, or should I just go digging around? [05:01] sacarlson: no, I don't and also Hardware Drivers tells me "the driver is activated but not currently in use: [05:02] helo [05:02] helloooooooooooooo [05:02] aLemmer: Honestly, I don't really know the specifics. I just fiddled around with it trying different settings and eventually got it to work. [05:02] HIII === kiran is now known as Guest41208 [05:03] but do open up gconf-editor, and look under apps->metacity, and apps->compiz for some options. [05:03] it tends to be more flexible and useful than the gui configuration managers. [05:03] watermains: well I was close to where you are by my installing and removeing it messted up stuf, complete purge all and start from one seems to be the key [05:03] shcherbak: Yes. It is powered. [05:03] ahem, the other gui configurations. [05:03] (you can edit gconf through ~/.gconf too, but I wouldn't recommend it) [05:03] bluezone, i still think you can develop your own video driver. it won't be work out of the box pro retail or anything [05:04] dmesg|grep CD [05:04] naia: dmesg|grep CD [05:04] despite popular misconception, there is creativity in programming. not everything needs to meet the same recipe to get teh same job done. [05:04] sacarlson, I'm going to try running jockey-gtk, but if that fails I think I'm first going to wipe out and reinstall, then try again with the ppa first. this is a new install anyway [05:04] TurmptTarp, i don't think printf() and scanf() is sufficient to develop that [05:04] shcherbak: Did nothing. Just returned to command line. [05:05] one sec bluezone, i will hook u up [05:05] your card is what type though? nivida for sure? [05:05] yep [05:05] 8400M GS [05:05] watermains: I think you might try the nvidea dirrect first might give you a better chance since you said at first jockey didn't detect anything [05:06] hmmmm, ok, so what should I purge out before trying going nvidia manually? and then which page's steps should I follow to install? [05:06] TurmptTarp, maybe it is just my xorg.conf that is all screwed up [05:06] watermains: but what ever path you take before you try another do a complete --purge of the package before you try the next step [05:06] UBUNTU GNU/LINUX [05:07] Naia: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659367 ? [05:07] shcherbak: It just really doesn't like this DVD-+R/Lightscribe. Which makes no sense? [05:07] sacarlson OK, thank you [05:07] i am starting to feel that nvidia is merging with a competence level of adobe [05:08] watermains: whatever has nvidia that you installed in synaptic I guess, if you start from scratch keep track of what you install so you --purge on the next try [05:09] hey bluezone, just a warning though you will be taking a risk as you develop your video driver [05:09] shcherbak: I am still new. Please refresh command line to open Synaptics Package... [05:09] what type of risk [05:10] this best puts it. "Drivers operate in a highly privileged environment and can cause disaster if they get things wrong.[2] In contrast, most user-level software on modern operating systems can be stopped without greatly affecting the rest of the system. Even drivers executing in user mode can crash a system if the device is erroneously programmed. These factors make it more difficult and... [05:10] ...dangerous to diagnose problems." [05:10] odd that was smaller when i copied it. [05:10] I love a big group [05:10] the more the merrier [05:10] AMIRITE?! [05:10] watermains: oh if it's just a black screen and you still have sound at boot then it's just you have the monitor hooked to the wrong plug on the card [05:11] don't worry though. it will be fun [05:11] sacarlson no, no black screen. just low resolution [05:11] TurmptTarp, mmkay [05:11] watermains: oh ok good luck [05:11] yeah, I notice that 260.xxx shows that it supports a 460 but not a 460SE. I'm not sure which mine is [05:12] hi everyone. [05:12] watermains: that should be seen with lspci , I assume it would work [05:12] TurmptTarp, at this point what would be more viable, reformatting or programming the driver? [05:12] i've been having a bit of trouble with my laptop when using WiFi on battery [05:12] reformatting is faster, but there is no guarantee that will help [05:12] you may be right back in your situation [05:12] sacarlson: ahhh, lspci doesn't see mine accurately, it just kindof says "generic nvidia" [05:12] ubuntu seems to do some agressive WiFi power reduction [05:13] is there any way to control/reduce that? [05:13] give me a bit and i will pull up the info you need to program your video driver [05:13] TurmptTarp, i already know i will end up yeah,,... i fixed my wireless and then i broke my video card drivers, and then both of them broke -.- [05:13] watermains: what about lspci -v [05:13] Naia: can you put cd into drive? [05:13] okay [05:13] Naia: Why synaptic? [05:13] shcherbak: Yes. I can. Does nothing. I got hwinfo, would you like to see results? [05:14] shcherbak: to install hwinfo. I figured it out. :) [05:14] sacarlson: 08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0e23 (rev a1) [05:14] Naia: lets go, paste it. [05:14] nvidia sucks fml :( [05:15] bluezone yes, nvidia drivers forlinux suckssss [05:15] sacarlson, I'm still using the PPA which is 260.19.29, the latest which says it supports all the 460s [05:15] aa hasee you are back [05:15] shcherbak: Whoops. Is so long, the terminal erased some. :-/ Won't get all of it. [05:15] Naia: do you have /dev/sr0 [05:15] Man, I had been lead to believe it was the ATI drivers for linux that sucked, that nVidia were decent [05:15] hasee, the think you told me didn't fix my problem unfourtunetely lol [05:16] hasee, now i can boot onto my system but i still can't change my resoultion and my monitor isnt detected [05:16] hwinfo > ~/output && gedit output [05:16] watermains: well that's the same as the latiest number I see from nvidea so that should be promissing [05:16] hasee, i thought it was ATI that sucked for ubuntu linux [05:16] sacarlson, actually I find it kindof troubling that I have the latest version but it still doesn't work [05:17] I can't believe I didn't introduce myself! [05:17] i have ATI. but it was too late before i found out [05:17] HI ThERE! [05:17] ffs [05:17] I kindof think installing directly from nVidia won't help since its the same version [05:17] ahoy gents [05:17] shcherbak: How do I find out ... if I have /dev/sr0 ? ? [05:18] bluezon sorry, i cant install the official driver (nvidia web) and this way works for me [05:18] bluezone sorry for my bad english [05:18] haha [05:18] naia: ls /dev/sr0 [05:18] shcherbak: ls: cannot access /dev/sr0: No such file or directory [05:18] hasee, haha np, i don't know what i screwed up though, because they were working before [05:18] test ssl 7000 security [05:19] TurmpTarp ATI rocks on ubuntu 10.10 [05:19] ok bluezone this is 18 chapters of reading. but it includes info about network drivers. http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ [05:19] Naia: wodim -checkdrive [05:19] so I've been researching and reading forums for the last 2 hours and I apologize, this is all like a new language to me. I installed ubuntu today side by side with my windows 7 [05:19] if you need help just let me know and i will try to program one with ya [05:19] TurmptTarp, :O i was talking about video card drivers but okay [05:19] i think this includes video [05:19] and I'm trying to view the windows partition files from ubuntu, and I'm also trying to figure out how to be able to boot back into windows :< [05:19] Hi guys, I'd appreciate a little help: when using WiFi on my laptop while connected, I get decent signal and bandwidth and when using WiFi on battery, I get ultra slow internet and a bit lower signal. I'm using the recent broadcom driver. What should I do? [05:20] or at least by the time you are done you can find the info nvidia or ati has for your card and then easily apply waht you learn [05:20] have a driver up and going in no time [05:20] shcherbak: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554274/ [05:20] watermains: seems like you should be able to just do a complete --purge of you ppa driver and reinstall it. remember it's the last installed that will be running not what is still installed [05:21] The command "root@MD97600:/ usr/src/modules/acerhk# make' produces a blinking block cursor on the new line but no error message as mentioned in http.//wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Acer_Hotkeys.

[05:22] Naia: ubuntu 10.10 [05:23] good [05:23] I used to have 10.04 and this did not happen :( [05:23] Naia: back to bios theory, disable cd/dvd (whatever bios see) from boot options, so hard drive would only stay. [05:23] bluezone, of course you could also just reformatt. i think there are also some guides on how to restore ubuntu to its default settings it had from install. which may fix x-serv. [05:23] in russia 12 23 [05:23] I can't find any power settings for the wifi power management [05:23] i have broplem with updats [05:23] shcherbak: One moment, please.

[05:38] shcherbak: ls /dev/sr* [05:39] odd..... it appears that it stopped mine, my mouse doesn't work. Luckily, it's a laptop :) [05:39] zaery: is it ATI graphics and Synaptics touchpad? [05:39] 11.04 is Natty Narwhal so apt-get will be tusk hehehe [05:40] So hi umm... I was wondering just a simple question. I seem to have downloaded a program called Pulseaudio 3 times.. and it is flooding my HTOP in 3 places with using 5-10% CPU/MEM usage and I just want to know how I can permanently delete only 2 of the programs. [05:40] zaery: "doesn't work" is no exact description. Try to give a more exact description so that people can help you better. [05:41] shcherbak: oops. Anyway - when cleaning system, always plug the sata cable back into the motherboard. [05:41] hi all, have a hp dv6000, tried two different d/l iso's (10.10x64) keep getting ubiquity error, says to submit syslog and partman.....(cut off) but the os never installs far enough to get to the desktop. [05:41] its /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog 3 times in a row and want it to only have 1 [05:42] Naia: ok, does it apply to ide too? [05:42] I'm currently running the dist-upgrade app, and my usb mouse doesn't work. It was working a few minutes ago, when the app wasn't in the install phase. Luckily, I'm on a laptop, so i don't need my mouse right now, i have a touchpad that still works. [05:42] frustro, try an "alternate" iso if you can put up with a text-mode interface (no worse then WinXP's installer) [05:43] shcherbak: Both simple DVD and DVD-+R/Lightscribe drives are up and running. ;) [05:43] Anyone, anyone, anyone...i need some help setting up wireless for unbuntu 10.10 netbook, i only have a wireless connection, i'm running 10.10 thru usb boot, and i have a broadcam chip. Any suggestions???? [05:43] when I do sudo fdisk -l looking for an ntsf partition, all I get is "linux swap / solaris" "extended" and "linux" [05:43] Naia: Weel, to the next one. [05:43] shcherbak: Apparently, when I cleaned system, I didn't plug it back into the motherboard. ;) [05:43] exit [05:43] jhansonxi, thank will try and report back. [05:44] sorry [05:44] Mary-Jane: You cannot normally load PulseAudio 3 times. What you have probably done is that you have downloaded several different Pulseaudio subprograms. This is quite normal. [05:44] ? [05:44] indras, Run the "hardware drivers" tool. You probably need Broadcom firmware which it will install. Unfortunately you'll need a wired connection so it can get it. [05:44] frustro: i have dv6.i7 but it has kernel and bios problem the only thing that works for my dv is wubi install [05:44] well idin't se wat u posted up\ [05:44] but hey [05:45] wat else can i do to fix this problem [05:45] its still over heating [05:45] It's just I'm on limited RAM with 433 max on my HTOP after System takes it from 512 so I was wondering how I could cut down on that. Nvm then. [05:45] jhansonxi: yea i kinda figured that...but i am running windows as well [05:45] Thank you bullgard4 [05:45] hola [05:46] devkorcvince, this is an older turion64x2. 2gb 80gb nvidia broadcom [05:46] MaryJANE! [05:46] YES [05:46] I was just smoking you [05:46] grrrr [05:46] I actually quit 5 days ago [05:46] but am kind've regretting it [05:46] anyone going to help?"( [05:46] I still have weed right n front of me and a bong... so tempting [05:46] lol [05:46] indras, I think the tool/package is "fwcutter". Search for that and broadcom and perhaps you'll find an alternate install method. [05:47] the acpi wan't on there? [05:47] help [05:47] jhansonxi: they are also restricted drivers and i did look into fwcutter but im running a emachine 250 series and thats unsupported so it says === james is now known as Guest39836 [05:48] sacarlson, still there? [05:48] indras, Another option is to borrow a plug-in wireless adapter from someone; one that doesn't use Broadcom. Verify your Broadcom device number with lsusb. [05:48] by see you soon ^_* [05:48] :* [05:49] Hey all [05:49] Hey there [05:49] space cowboy [05:49] I purged and reinstalled the latest proprietary nvidia driver(I may not have had to). Jockey still didn't work, so I found instructions on the Ubuntu X wiki and ran "sudo update-alternatives --config gl_conf" [05:49] indras, lsusb (or lspci depending on which bus it's connected to) will tell you the exact part number (or USB ID which can be looked up). [05:49] is there a way to save everything that is typed into and displayed in a terminal to a file somewhere on my system? === b_ is now known as Guest81427 [05:49] 你好 [05:49] hello [05:49] now I don't know whether to change from my mesa selection to nvidia-current auto or nvidia-current manual?

[06:05] spacevoids, check the volumes of each channel thru alsamixer [06:05] Hello. I have two problems. First, the GDM login screen is shown in the correct resolution, but when I go down to a session, 800x600 is the only option. How do I fix that? [06:06] did that too .. they all are maxed up but i can hear nothing [06:06] but... sudo nautulis lauches a files explorer [06:06] spacevoid who are yuo talking to? [06:06] Second, I am trying to configure a manual connection through networkmanager, and have set it up correctly. But route shows the gateway as dslmodem.domain on the static IP and Firefox doesn't work, but it shows teh IP address on auto, and auto works fine. [06:06] you [06:07] sjuxax, the limit is either what the driver thinks the card can do or what the monitor reports it can handle over DDC to the driver. [06:07] dont forget to mention the handles so we can reply to you properly [06:07] handles ? whats that [06:07] bluezone: I do not know what you precisely mean by "with the gui". Usually you obtain super user privileges using the command prefix in a terminal. -- You can also call 'sudo gksu nautilus' to obtain superuser rights and then copy a file using Nautilus. [06:08] sjuxax, when you manually set the ip, after you enter in the gateway, hit the enter key and not just save or apply. IP tab, netmask tab, gateway enter. [06:08] jhansonxi: It works correctly on GDM. Why does GDM get a different report than the user's session? [06:08] is there anyway i could use the start button of my keybopard to open up the menu in my system panel, line windows does? [06:08] sjuxax, Firefox doesn't work with names? IP addresses? both? [06:08] frustro: OK, why does that cause a problem? That's a pretty weird limitation [06:08] sorry irc noob here ... you mean quoting yourname while i right then i can do that [06:08] jhansonxi: Works with IPs, not names [06:09] obscurantst, is alt+f1 do? [06:09] sjuxax, i dunnu why, that's what i had to do in network manager for my eth0 in 10.10x64 [06:09] obscurantlst, is alt+f1 do? [06:09] spacevoid: you see how my message has "spacevoid:" at the start of it? do that. except with the nick of the person you're talking to, not yours ;) [06:09] sjuxax, if i didn't, it wouldnt stay. [06:09] frustro: OK, thanks, trying it now so might get disconnected. [06:09] sjuxax, If IPs and not names then it's a DNS problem. In a terminal window do "cat /etc/resolv.conf" and see what the "nameserver" address is. [06:09] rww gotcha [06:09] scriptwarlock: thanks, i man i never knew that. [06:09] It stays in the list for me, but it doesn't work :\ [06:09] \o/ === matthew is now known as Guest90977 [06:10] scriptwarlock: but still we cant make the startbutton to do that?

[06:10] sjuxax, check the logs, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and in /var/log/gdm/* [06:11] test for the first time [06:11] obscurantlst, keyboard shortcuts [06:11] scriptwarlock here is a screen of my alsamixer http://i.imgur.com/GwtDg.png [06:11] bluezone: "it still gives me the permission error" is no exact description and I cannot help you. [06:11] yun [06:12] sjuxax, the X.org log should indicate what resolutions it thinks are available. Also check /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if there are any manual settings there that are overriding the auto-detected ones. [06:12] spacevoid, is the front midd included? [06:12] bullgard4: nevermind ill just copy what i can [06:12] hey scriptwarlock how are ya [06:12] obscurantlst, you can use this gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu --type string "Super_L" [06:13] dagon, fine and you? [06:13] Good! getting nice and dirty with linux and lovin it [06:13] scriptwarlock the front mic is not connected. I am only interested in gettng thwe audio from the rear connectors on the mobo which provide 5.1 in windows environemnt [06:13] dagon, how did you manage to install [06:14] Very carefully I guess lol [06:14] There are things my graphics card will not render right even though it says it is OpenGL copatible, has all the stuff enabled, etc. I managed to put one program into a software rendering mode. It there any way to make this the default behavior? [06:14] scriptwarlock: in keyboard shortcuts we have to press one more key along with the startbutton, and its amust. So icnt use that. And what does that command you gave me does?

[06:16] yeah when I plug it it scriptwarlock it gives me an error saying it can't mount [06:16] it in rather [06:16] dagon, is that 10.10?

[06:40] i had two panels one above and one below [06:40] i removed the down panel [06:40] and i was using only the top panel after moving the workspaces to the up panel [06:40] btw anyone know how to mkae gdm the default manager? i have set kdm as default desktop manager some days before, now i want to use gdm again [06:40] obscurant1st, I just mentioned it because you said eye candy.... [06:40] and i was using docky for the lower panel functions [06:40] my docky still works fine [06:41] obscurant1st, logout and choose gnome [06:41] but i have lost my top panel and even the panel settings option [06:41] pankaj: try typing gnome-panel in terminal [06:41] frustro: i love eye candy things. and btw it wont effect very badly on performance right? [06:41] ok [06:41] obscurant1st: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [06:41] obscurant1st, it's all about the vid card [06:41] ok the panel is back! [06:42] scriptwarlock: yeah i know that. But when i had an issue with kde, i had to do this from terminal, i mean something like setting desplay manager as kdm. [06:42] but it gave an error message [06:42] let me tell you [06:42] the panel encountered a problem while loading [06:42] frustro: what if i dont have a video card? i have one though! i just wanted to know. Coz my laptop is having over heating issues nowadays! so if its heavy on my system then my system will restart [06:43] Does anyone here use the b43 wifi driver? If so, are you willing to do me a quick favor? [06:43] Anyone...need help with wireless connection in ubuntu 10.10, i have a broadcom chip and no wired connection, is there any suggestions [06:43] "OAFIID:GNOME_FastUserSwitchApplet" Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration? [06:43] Should i delete the applet to prevent further problems? [06:43] obscurant1st, you can customize ubuntu for an eye candy look [06:43] heck yeah [06:44] scriptwarlock: how can i do that? the themes available in gnome dir is not good, i dint like it [06:44] pankaj, don't do it [06:44] pankaj, i get that error when i use the Ubuntu Minimal install - i always said yes to removing [06:44] should i delete the applet or no? [06:45] i am confused please advice [06:45] is that applet necessary or is it dispensable if its causing problems? [06:45] pankaj, can you tell me did you play with setting for compiz ccsm [06:45] hi, if i use Backtrack can i test if my WPA password is enough secure? [06:45] yes Zvrk i did [06:45] indras: at you will have to get a wired connection to get the drivers i think. [06:45] that must be it [06:45] the compiz settings [06:45] obscurant1st, go to gnome-look.org there are many themes available for your machine [06:46] i had to use compiz to run docky [06:46] pankaj, then just reset ccsm [06:46] how do i do that zvrk [06:46] couldnt i just put them on the usb stick i'm booting 10.10 from though [06:46] Help! hard drive problem! I can't format and it's complaining about a failure. [06:46] obscurant1st, as i have said you can customize ubuntu to your likings [06:46] JackyAlcine: what type of failure? [06:46] @Jacky you have to unmount before you format. Did you try that from disk utility? [06:46] JackyAlcine: Can you be more specific with the error you're getting? [06:46] pankaj, open ccsm and clear your setting to default [06:47] and what about the applet should i delete it or keep it? [06:47] what is the ubuntu version for laptops [06:47] i haven't chosen any option yet [06:47] I vote delete it [06:47] Well, the SmartData of my SeaGate Portable is telling me that it's failing soon. [06:47] is it netbook or alternative download [06:47] ^^ p_res [06:47] one vote for delete [06:47] mrchinosun, alternate = desktop with debian text installer [06:47] anyone for keeping the applet :-s [06:47] pankaj, i personally keep [06:47] scriptwarlock: ok thats it i am going back to gnome! :D [06:47] why Zvrk [06:47] JackyAlcine: you have to tell us which SMART parameters are failing [06:47] mrchinosun, what do you have laptop or netbook [06:48] JackyAlcine: It could also be a false positive. [06:48] is it important to keep it? [06:48] ddr400: this is ubuntu-channel, and backtrack issues should be discussed on other channels [06:48] @pankaj I couldn't find it in the list of applets for the panel [06:48] gobbe: ok, was only a yes/no question btm [06:48] btw [06:48] pankaj, because that are my setting for applet [06:48] i will keep it for now and reset the ccsm [06:49] scriptwarlock: oops sorry i have an ongoing ftp transfer, ill hv to let it complete before switching to gnome! [06:49] and p_res: And that the sector reallocation count and current pending sector count ddr400 [06:49] JackyAlcine: do immediately a backup [06:49] pankaj, that help me but you can do it your way [06:49] it may fail soon [06:50] can i use ubuntu desktop edition for a LAPTOP?????? [06:50] mrchinosun, of course [06:50] "sector reallocation count" are bad errors [06:50] alright [06:50] mrchinosun: yeah, i am using it now. [06:50] @pankaj you might want to try setting the graphics to none real quick and see if it pops back. Right click on the desktop > Change Desktop bg...> Visual effects [06:50] O.o ddr400 is there anyway to bring it down or fix it? [06:50] JackyAlcine: I get the same message on one of my drives and I know it to be a false positive. [06:50] aha [06:50] JackyAlcine: i guess no, they are hardware problems on the drive, if you have the warranty do a RMA now [06:50] i did change my desktop background recently [06:51] i still can't use panel settings [06:51] even though the panel is back [06:51] mrchinosun: yes you can [06:51] obscurant1st: i'm running 10.10 from usb boot, couldnt i just add the drivers on to that and install them [06:51] mrchinosun: it's just difference of GUI [06:51] ddr400: >_< This is horrible. p_res, should I just ignore it for now while I wait for the warranty shipment? [06:52] JackyAlcine: But your error may be genuine if you're unable to format the drive. [06:52] indras: yeah could do that. But for that you will need the model number of your crad [06:52] #pankaj what "settings" like right clicking? [06:52] card* [06:52] pankaj, it stack for me help rebooting [06:52] JackyAlcine: i quote p_res answer [06:52] try however to do a fsck before, and then a full format [06:52] pankaj, sometimes few times [06:52] maybe could work, but that is NO reliable [06:52] ddr400: fsck returns an bad magic number error p_res how about zero-bitting? [06:53] indras: something like lspci will give you the name with model number of the wifi card [06:53] JackyAlcine: you have to use Seagate's own software to do that [06:53] JackyAlcine: If it formats, it's probably false. If it does not format, then it's probably genuine/ [06:53] look for it on web [06:53] . [06:53] knoxy the settings-panel option [06:53] the gui for panel settings it never runs [06:53] obscurant1st: its a bcm4312, and that seems to be the big problem one [06:53] anymore [06:54] p_res: in 95% of cases you can format anyway, maybe this is a electric failure or other [06:54] ddr400: Fair enough. [06:54] What should I do if my 'make' command does not terminate? I did http.//wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Acer_Hotkeys. Why does this command not terminate normally showing a normal prompt ? [06:55] pankaj: Settings panel? You mean properties? or "Applications Places..." [06:55] application places [06:55] JackyAlcine: have you understood our last answers? [06:55] JackyAlcine: I always recommend a drive surface scan using the drive manufacturers own software. I personally use UBCD. [06:55] quote that [06:55] p_res: Seagate doesn't have Linux software, and ddr400, yup i did. [06:56] testing color [06:56] indras: try this http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php [06:56] JackyAlcine: you ran it from a dos bootable usb key :-D [06:56] indras: check this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309760 [06:56] application-settings-xfce settings manager-panels [06:56] the panels setting does not work [06:56] JackyAlcine: Download the Ultimate Boot CD and run it from that. Google "UBCD". [06:56] obscuran1st: will do and thank you [06:57] pankaj, you talking to ...? or to yourself [06:57] p_res, I happen to have a bunch of empty CDs, I'll try it. [06:57] JackyAlcine: ;-) [06:57] p_res: never heard that UBCD could do a zeroing of a hdd, in fact i tryed once and it did mess with my partition table, luckily i could easy fix that with Testdisk (wonderful little sw" [06:57] i just tried to test the coloring font option [06:57] but in general i am trying to get help here [06:58] to solve my panel settings problem [06:58] !prefix | pankaj [06:58] pankaj: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:58] ddr400: WD tools does it. I'd assume Seagate does also. [06:58] pankal, is the panel solved? [06:58] indras: try this downloads http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/bcmwl-kernel-source [06:58] @pankaj if the menu just isn't there you add it with Right Click on Panel > Add to Menu > Menu Bar [06:58] for sure [06:58] i got my panel back but i still can't use the GUI for panel settings [06:58] p_res: What's WD? [06:58] hello . [06:58] they are written for that means arent' they :-D ?

I don't remember how, coming from Archlinux [07:09] TESTING [07:09] mrchinosun, not to be rude, but if you can install ubuntu, and get on irc you can use google and follow guides. please perform some research.

[07:21] but i chat relevant dude like i am here to solve problems while talking about them [07:21] obscurant1st, possibly because it includes nonfree stuff [07:21] Hey folks..I'm having a issue with my system.. I'm running a dual screen setup.. with a ATI Card.. it works.. however.. once in a while the primary screen will suddenly get laggy, and scrolling and moving windows is choppy.. restarting X fixes it.. but, it happens way to often.. anyone have any idea what's going on? [07:21] obscurant1st: because it doesn't use Ubuntu's repositories and makes changes that we don't support. Same reason Ubuntu is not a supported derivative in #debian. [07:21] communication is the key here :-b [07:21] andycc: it includes non free stuff, oh i see, i never knew that! [07:22] pankaj, the #ubuntu-offtopic channel is for chat iirc [07:22] Failed to fetch http://co.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libc/libcdio/libiso9660-7_0.81-4_i386.deb 404 Not Found thay error appear when i try to intall [07:22] * pankaj thinks why put emotes in technical channels [07:22] pankaj, stop that [07:22] rww: oh isee. but i think ubuntu people should include some more applications like vlc in their dvd version [07:22] Ubuntu also includes non-free stuff. See the entire 'restricted' repository and non-free kernel firmware. [07:22] * pankaj agrees with obscurant1st [07:22] shcherbak, Perfect, thank you! [07:22] rww: oh, ok. =| [07:22] obscurant1st, vlc is patent-encumbered, so redistributing it freely is illegal in the US [07:23] andycc: oh, thats bad! real bad! [07:23] sweet the bcm43 worked. [07:23] most software is patent-encumbered. [07:24] rww: "hello, world" is patent-encumbered. [07:24] rww: yes, but the mp3/mpeg/... patents can actually be enforced. [07:25] I have an issue with my nvidia card: I finally got the current driver from the ppa and got it activated, however 640x480 was the max resolution that the nvidia configuration gui would give me in the option list. I manually set it to 1024x768 by selecting "advanced." It set my resolution to that, but the pixels are the same size, I have to pan around my screen. oh yeah, I guess I set that in panning.... I can't get the [07:25] pixel depth right! [07:26] can anyone recommend a good c++ ide in ubuntu? [07:26] weez, I like code::blocks and netbeans. but coding in gedit and compiling on the command line can be pretty nice, too [07:27] weez: eclipse would be the universally recommended ide, then you have netbeans, code::blocks, anjuta... oh, and there's nokia's qt creator [07:27] ToT I can't install the vlc [07:27] watermains, I had the same issue quite a few times. my solution was to break X completly, get to a txt console when you try to login (like runlevel 3 style) then I used apt-get remove for the nvidia and then apt-get install nvidia to reinstall, reboot and it worked for me. [07:27] andycc: Qr creator, i love it!, its one of the best i have ever used! [07:27] anyone ? [07:27] dannyLopez: goto synaptic and install it!

[07:29] dannyLopez: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install vlc [07:29] ^ [07:29] ^^ [07:31] watermains, I have a 32" lcd @1360x768. on fresh install I was stuck at 1024x768 max. I did the panning thing too. after mucking with xorg.conf I broke x so bad it couldn't start the x server. after a little trial and error, I deleted the xorg.conf, removed the nvidia driver, reinstalled and rebooted. i had my higer resolution. [07:31] weez, cb uses the same debugger (gdb) as most other tools in linux, including command line compile [07:32] weez to answer your second q, if you compile on the command line, you will get your debugging statements in the same terminal, not in any other program. nothing wrong with that, though [07:33] weez edit: except if you get those debugging statements in the terminal, you won't see the lines highlighted in your IDE [07:33] watermains, I was hoping to step through the program and see the variables as I step [07:33] watermains, maybe someone else here can assist with killall for X so that you are forced to CLI, then mv the xorg.conf to .old and then remove and reinstall the nvidia driver. [07:34] frustro_, you can always go to cli and i have a feeling watermains knows how [07:34] frustro_ well I can go back to the opensource driver once I uninstall nvidia completely [07:35] my issue is that after a couple install / reinstall sessions I still don't get higher resolutions on my crt. I'm suspecting I won't until I plug in an LCD [07:36] watermains, or edit xorg.conf manually [07:36] sam-_-, I moved to ubuntu from centos 5.3, so I was able to init 3 from terminal and go that route. I asked once here and I was told that's not possible. no one at that time was able to direct me as init was no longer used, so i gave up. open to suggestions or hints though. google is my friend. [07:36] # === kiran is now known as Guest76395 [07:37] hello [07:37] well I've already edited xorg.conf manually to end the panning and go back to 640x480. Just haven't restarted x server because it would kick me out of IRC. I don't know how to edit xorg.conf to really get good results [07:37] frustro_, you can select your runlevel even before booting [07:37] Is it possible to enable Wake On Lan in Ubuntu 10.10 server ed. ? [07:38] frustro_, also sudo stop gdm and there you have your runlevel 3 [07:38] sam-_-, perfect, now just one more.... ubuntu doesn't use init anymore it uses (this is the part where the init replacement is named) [07:38] sam-_-, gah! no! just hints! :) [07:38] frustro_, upstart it's called upstart [07:39] sam-_-, thanks.....it's been a few week's and I had forgotten. [07:39] hello [07:39] if I do hack xorg.conf successfully and get higher res, what is the rough likelyhood that updates will break it? [07:39] hello dks_ [07:40] ddr400: I got around the issue by formatting it to the Minix format. [07:40] It seem to work [07:40] frustro_, you can change your runlevel with the cmd: telinit [07:40] frustro_, example: sudo telinit 3 [07:40] how can i run some terminal commands on startup? [07:41] mysho: Write a .sh script and then add it to your startup applications list [07:41] thanks [07:41] No problem, mysho. [07:41] mysho, or the easy way. put them in /etc/rc.local [07:41] mysho you know where to find startup applications list?

[07:45] ok [07:46] !guidelines > frustro_ [07:46] frustro_, please see my private message [07:46] i have a doubt, do tor does the encryption before forwarding the packets to another tor user? [07:46] so is it apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade ? [07:46] obscurant1st: yes [07:46] rww: thanks! [07:46] Diverdude:apt-get update [07:46] obscurant1st: however, the exit node can see what the receiving server can see [07:47] Diverdude dist-upgrade will take you from one release to another, ie 10.04 to 10.10 [07:47] watermains, no [07:47] does anyone know a command line command that logs me out of an x windows session? [07:47] obscurant1st: so you should use an encrypted protocol anyway. [07:47] !dist-upgrade | watermains [07:47] watermains: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [07:47] watermains, i dont want that...i only want to upgrade packets [07:47] rww: so login into blogs i mean wordpress blog which dont use https, is not secure if i use tor? [07:47] Diverdude, it does not do that [07:48] bazhang oh thanks [07:48] obscurant1st: correct [07:48] Diverdude;than try sudo apt-get dist upgrade [07:48] rww: ok, thanks [07:48] Guest19189, yep its perfect. thx [07:48] obscurant1st: TOR connections go like this: you -> (tor node -> tor node -> ... -> tor node) -> tor exit node -> server.

Any hints on how I could accomplish this in Ubuntu? [07:52] it seems to be blacked out on the edges with lines across it .. [07:52] anyone know how to fix ? [07:52] frustro_: yeah i know, i use it! :D [07:52] is this a good way of enabling wake on lan? http://fancyit.wordpress.com/2010/10/31/enable-wol-wake-on-lan-in-ubuntu-10-10-2/ [07:52] yay wifi on bcm43 driver! [07:52] I frequently get a back screen after waking my laptop from sleep. Any way to recover from this gracefully? [07:53] gusg, gnome-volume-control → input → choose [07:54] I'm back [07:55] akav, look into /etc/default/acpi-support [07:55] sam-_-: the character before and after ¨input¨ did not display for me [07:55] hey i just installed the Unity 2D Qt interface and i cant get the panel to load right. anyone know why? [07:55] gusg, gnome-volume-control -> input -> choose [07:56] sam-_-: thanks. I will give it a try [07:56] Anyone know how to disable update checking when loggin into the terminal? Sometimes I have to wait an annoyingly long time when logging into my server via ssh because it checks for updates so it can tell my how many packages can be updated... [07:56] sam-_-, can you explain that a little further? How would looking into that solve the problem when it happens? [07:56] sam-_-, I assume this is due to a faulty driver. [07:56] akav, you can select different suspend methods there. [07:57] sam-_-, how do I know which one to choose? === frustro_ is now known as frustro [07:57] akav, you don't unless you what's causing your problem. [07:57] anybody [07:58] 有人吗 [07:58] Thank you everyone for helping me out! My drive's back online! [07:58] akav, i would try setting APCI_SLEEP_MODE to standby [07:58] acpi [07:58] itis really aproblem [07:58] anyone running unity right now?

And my notebook has Intel graphics. [08:02] sam-_-, so driver support should be solid in theory [08:02] ubuntu 10.10 rocks [08:02] thanks for the help with getting ubuntu on this box, not sure why the alternative worked and not the gui version, but i'm 100% now. Thanks #ubuntu! [08:02] !ot | anup [08:02] anup: #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! [08:03] akav, what do you mean it is not enabled? [08:04] how to actiavate fire effect in ubuntu [08:04] anup, in ccsm? [08:04] sam-_-, SUSPEND_METHODS="dbus-pm dbus-hal pm-utils" [08:04] it did insalled ccsm bt i can only fine blur efect [08:04] i could not find fire effect [08:04] akav, looks fine [08:04] # acpi-support: Use the legacy built-in suspend/hibernate support. (DEPRECATED) [08:04] anup, try installing the extra plugins; /j #compiz for better answers [08:05] can u name any few better plugins [08:05] akav, yes. as said there: DEPRECATED [08:05] sam-_-, then it says the options below only work for the deprecated apci-support method. [08:05] anup, compiz-fusion-plugins-extra is a package [08:05] anup, apt-cache search compiz should list some [08:06] sam-_-, so I take that to mean that changing ACPI_SLEEP_MODE as you suggested will have no effect. [08:06] akav, oh. cheers for actually reading the thing :-) [08:06] thnx dduue [08:06] akav, suppose so [08:06] sam-_-, haha [08:07] hey guys [08:07] could someone please direct me to a good c++ programming channel? [08:07] (newbie here) [08:07] how can i bypass th root account through normal user in ubuntu 10.10 [08:07] plzzz help mee [08:07] !helpme | newbiee [08:07] newbiee: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [08:08] newbiee, use sudo [08:08] !sudo | newbiee [08:08] newbiee: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli).

If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo === arunce_ is now known as arunce [08:08] hi can someone let me know what the best way to get xorg is. i just loaded minimal on my macbookpro [08:08] newbiee: what do you mean by bypass exactly? [08:08] apt-get install xorg gnome? [08:08] fubada: suo apt-get install xorg [08:08] is "Unity" out?

[08:09] ok cool [08:09] fubada: yes it is [08:09] lol thatys a lot of pkg's [08:09] thanks [08:10] fubada, unity isnt official yet though [08:10] ok [08:10] btw. can you use unity without compiz? [08:10] is it cool or is it gona be a flop? [08:10] flop [08:10] sam-_-, with a PPA i guess it is possible in 11.04 [08:10] greetings!

[08:10] ddr400: dpends on the servers TTL [08:10] keep alive [08:10] etc [08:11] fubada: system > administration > additional drivers? [08:11] sam-_-, i don't understand what you just asked? [08:11] andycc: thanks, im sorry i dont use gui [08:11] and i just decided to use linux gui for my dailylaptop driver [08:11] thanks [08:11] sam-_-, 11.04 will have Unity with Compiz (instead of current mutter) AND there will be a 2d version [08:11] if you dont use gui nvidia drivers are pointless [08:11] hello everybody [08:12] fubada: k, just notice that on paypal it's very short, eg. comparing to ebay's one [08:12] ZykoticK9, ok. thx. [08:12] fubada, why you need 3d acceleration , etc with no gui or x ? [08:12] anyone have solution for missing menus in wxpython apps? similar to this; http://bugs.playonlinux.com/en/issue-59.html [08:13] blankname1: so it's a known issue? [08:13] havent found it anywhere but there [08:14] it's a wine application? [08:14] where is the mime.c file at? [08:14] ok, i am completely lost on how apache has been implemented in ubuntu 9= [08:14] ddr400, no, it's apparently a wxpython app [08:14] jayd3e, you might want to put a little more details there [08:15] ther is a bt [08:15] blankname1: you need to explain better [08:15] ddr400: uhm, i think the bug report at pol explains it well enough. menus are not shown in wxpython apps [08:16] Sonne: isn't it in a specific location in ubuntu? [08:16] ddr400: also here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wxwidgets2.8/+bug/682478 [08:16] jayd3e, that looks like a source code... [08:16] it is [08:16] sry i did not read it [08:17] what do you need it for? [08:17] I just don't know where at in src [08:17] you mean like file/modify etc menus? [08:17] what are you trying to do? [08:17] ddr400: yes, but the ubuntu bts had a fix [08:17] which seems to work so far.. [08:18] and if you do that fix what happens different? just nothing? [08:19] ddr400: the menus show up again [08:19] after installing gnome-desktop-environemnt meta package, can I reboot and expect xinit to happen [08:19] ? [08:19] sry, but why do you ask for a solution then? i dont get it :-) [08:19] ddr400: i *just* found the ubuntu ticket :) [08:19] Sonne: I'm trying to get ushare to support .mkv files, by adding it in mime.c [08:20] Sonne: it might not work, but just giving it a try [08:20] that's quite lol, isn't it? [08:20] jayd3e, i believe the informations you're taking your plan from refers to modifying that file inside the source code of the app that isn't working as expected [08:21] which would mean downloading the sources, modifying them, recompiling and overwriting the version you have installed [08:21] it's not exactly an easy task, i'd ask for help from a slightly more knowledged friend if i was you :) [08:21] Sonne: that makes more sense, true [08:23] anyone is using 11.x version stably here? just to know if it's quite good or not [08:23] ddr400, #ubuntu+1 for the alpha [08:23] !natty | ddr400 [08:23] ddr400: 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.

[08:24] :-) [08:24] majid_, sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [08:25] it's worthy to use chromium instead of Firefox? on windows i dont like it much [08:25] I think the chromium is older than the chrome and chrome is better. Isn't it? [08:25] ddr400, to each his/her own [08:25] firefox has "dope" plugins [08:25] majid: chromium is newer [08:25] majid_: no [08:26] majid_, no [08:26] majid_, chrome = google proprietary, chromium = open source development version [08:26] dope? so no working well? i dont notice that either [08:26] majid_, chrome is a stable-er variant of chromium [08:26] Can I install all addons of chrome in chromium? [08:27] majid_, yes [08:27] Thank you much [08:27] <_Rawr> okay.. if my harddisk has 4 partitions( boot swap root home), and i connect it through usb (using an ide to usb cable) [08:27] <_Rawr> i want to access the home partition [08:27] <_Rawr> how do i mount it? [08:28] _Rawr, first use fdisk -l to see the partition layout [08:28] <_Rawr> okay, i got the partition layout already [08:28] _Rawr, doesn't it show up in nautilus? [08:29] <_Rawr> sorry i'm not on ubuntu [08:29] _Rawr, so on which os do you want to mount it? [08:29] hi, can you make transmission start at startup? [08:29] _Rawr, then either use mkdir "/mnt/home" and then "mount /dev/sd** /mnt/home" where /dev/sd** is the right partition. [08:29] _Rawr, you can read the manual: "man mount" [08:30] <_Rawr> when i try to mount it automatically using dolphin i get http://pastie.org/1462775 .. the output of dmesg | tail is below [08:30] szpreader, put it in startup applications [08:30] szpreader, System / Preferences / Startup Applications - and add an entry [08:30] szpreader, yes. system -> prefs -> startup apps [08:30] ok, many thanks [08:30] <_Rawr> i tried mounting /dev/sdd4 but it says [08:30] <_Rawr> mount: special device /dev/sdd4 does not exist [08:31] oh, what should I write at the command field? [08:31] _Rawr, then it probably doesn't exist. Are you sure it's /dev/sdd*? What distro are you using after all? [08:31] <_Rawr> yea i'm sure. arch [08:32] <_Rawr> at least fdisk -l shows it to be... [08:32] _Rawr, you do realize that arch is NOT ubuntu right? [08:32] why am i unable to adjust brightness on my laptop which has intel hd graphics with intel i3 ? [08:32] _Rawr, in textmode or are you using some sort of lightweight GUI? [08:32] _Rawr, #archlinux [08:33] _Rawr, if you just want to recover stuff you'll be better off using Puppy Linux. [08:33] the_cyber_guy: do you have the control bar for that? [08:34] <_Rawr> alright sorry for asking, just thought i could get some help here [08:34] the_cyber_guy, the buttons don't get recognized by ubuntu [08:34] ddr400: controls on my laptop, fn + brightness === TurmptTarp is now known as brown_boar [08:35] ok, maybe a specific tool could help - i hope there is one for that :-) [08:35] does anyone know of a usb wireless adapter that works with ubuntu?

[08:38] ddr400: It doesn't work with any of the ext* family formats. [08:39] ddr400: It can format to Minix, FAT16/32, or even swap. [08:39] you need to use Seagate's provided sw...it's better [08:39] then you reformat with any linux.. [08:39] try that === arunce_ is now known as arunce [08:40] dont's use strange filesystems...you wont go anywhere [08:41] ddr400: I don't have a Windows system to run it on though. Should I try WINE'ing it? [08:41] JackyAlcine, if it deals with hardware you probably shouldn't. [08:41] no, as i told before, you do a bootable DOS/Freedos Usb key with that software on it [08:42] it's easy [08:43] Would UBCD still work? [08:44] WINE'ing a format is the worst thing to do.. [08:44] if I made a usb key of UBCD. [08:47] ok jacky [08:47] hello ! [08:48] ddr400: I found something! They have a Seagate recovery system based on FreeDOS!

It starts when I login (not when i turn on the computer), so if i log out and in again, the sound will stop for a while. What is that about? Can I troubleshoot it? [08:50] soreau you're speaking a foreign language, how do i find this stuff? [08:50] jilem: 11.04 discussion in #ubuntu+1 [08:50] illuminaris: Which version of ubuntu are you using? [08:51] Stava: maybe your CPU fan speed is controlled based on the temperature [08:51] Stava: and it makes noise at higher speed [08:51] JackyAlcine: i told you [08:51] rww: ok.sorry. [08:51] soreau I am using Ubuntu 11.04 [08:52] stiv2k, its an intel core i3 cpu :o [08:52] JackyAlcine: try a low level format, could save you hard disk [08:52] Stava: desktop or laptop [08:52] illuminaris: Then you should be asking in #ubuntu+1 or #radeon [08:52] stiv2k, thing is though, it started yesterday. Laptop [08:52] how can i run .sh script with sudo without needing to type password everytime? [08:52] Stava: yeah i would check for debris in the fan [08:52] illuminaris: What is the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer'? [08:52] Stava: dust or lint or paper [08:52] Stava: could be a problem of the fan's bearing [08:53] ddr400, Such as dust, lint or paper as stiv2k suggests? [08:53] soreau OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (R350 4E48) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL DRI2 [08:53] yeah [08:53] alright [08:53] IdleOne rww I'm just torrenting xubuntu lucid but I am confused. on http://torrent.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/lucid/release/desktop/ (my reason for asking here) it shows the complete iso as being 681MB, bur the torrent file shows to be 714MB. First where does the disparity come from, and second, are they really producing iso's over 700 and expecting them to burn? [08:53] hi, how do I change to require a password when I log in? currently it logs me in automatically but I still have to enter my password 3 times before I can do things. Ridiculous! [08:53] thanks i'll check it out [08:53] quite common, just look for a pdf guide to open the pc, like i did [08:53] with images.. [08:54] stiv2k, into the keyring i guess? [08:54] q_a_z_steve: your torrent file is probably using 1000-based units, not 1024-based units. Xubuntu 10.04 ISO files fit on a CD. [08:54] illuminaris: You don't have gallium. Try installing libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental (and re-logging in) [08:54] sam-_-: yes the keyring thing bombards me after i log in [08:54] q_a_z_steve: torrent client ** [08:55] soreau so sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental ?? what will this do? [08:55] transmission... [08:55] really you think that's it? I'm on a mac... rww [08:55] stiv2k, seahorse right click on "passwords: login" change password. then set a new blank password [08:56] illuminaris: Hopefully it will install the gallium driver which will allow for opengl 2.1 [08:56] q_a_z_steve: For obvious reasons, I know little about how Transmission works on a Mac, but I think that's the reason, yes. [08:56] soreau so that should fix the problem or there are more steps? [08:57] sam-_-: blank password? I dont want a blank password i want to manually log in instead of automatically be logged in [08:57] illusionz: First you want to get gallium working. If installing the experimental package doesn't work, you may need to install xorg-edgers repo first [08:57] rww ok, well I suppose getting one and md5 summing against the other won't hurt anything. I know, torrents check themselves. [08:57] q_a_z_steve: indeed [08:58] I am trying to put music on my ipod nano and I get "Error opening file /media/blabla.mp3: Read-only file system" [08:59] stiv2k, it's only a blank password for the keyring. doesn't affect your login password [08:59] will report back... :) [08:59] mysho: sudo -s [08:59] hey what is that technology my computer needs to run ubuntu and windows side by side? [08:59] my computer is from 2010 i believe [09:00] sam-_-: is that gonna do what i want it to? [09:00] soreau i just installed what you told me to, restart and log back in? [09:00] parallel computing is ubuntu ready right? [09:00] brown_boar, just install both [09:00] stiv2k, not sure what you want :-) [09:00] and use GRUB [09:00] illuminaris: Yea just log out and back in then show the output of 'glxinfo|grep renderer' again [09:00] sam-_-: like i said, i want to manually log in, not be automatically logged in [09:01] sam-_-: in the installer i chose to log me in automatically and i learned that i dont like it [09:01] you don't understand. i want to flip between windows and ubuntu [09:01] my computer has good specs [09:01] !vm | brown_boar [09:01] brown_boar: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [09:02] !trolling [09:02] trolling / trollish behaviour is behaviour that is considered annoying by other channel users, this includes going offtopic, asking the same question time and again getting answered and not acknowledging the answer, and these are not the only ways behaviour can be considered trolling, please see /msg ubottu guidelines - if this applies to you, you may find yourself outside the channel [09:02] soreau ok I logged out and back in, here is the result : OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 (R350 4E48) 20090101 x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL DRI2 [09:02] stiv2k, then yes. it will do what you want. [09:02] brown_boar: simply try Virtualbox, easy and effective [09:02] i have used virtualbox. it is simply not going to support my host's video card [09:02] i won't ever run a good game in it [09:02] illuminaris: You still don't have gallium. Try this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && && sudo apt-get upgrade [09:03] sam-_-: i dont understand how setting a blank keyring password is going to do that... not sure what youre talking about [09:04] stiv2k: System -> Administration -> Login Somethingorother, change it to not be set to automatically log you in. [09:04] brown_boar: so virtualise your non-gaming os [09:04] rww: its already set there it seems [09:04] i just looked there [09:04] i like to use my full hardware for both [09:04] tricky business. HM [09:04] stiv2k, as i said it's not going to change your login password [09:04] brown_boar: Your request is not possible. [09:05] stiv2k, this will stay the same [09:05] stiv2k: and it's still autologging you in? [09:06] brown_boar: just check with a live cd if your hardware is well supported in linux first [09:06] rww: it says Password: asked on login [09:06] rww: "dont ask for password on login" is not checked [09:06] ok you know that cube flipper [09:07] let me log out and log in and see [09:07] why not have ubuntu on this face and then i flip to windows. [09:07] that would be so nice [09:07] brown_boar: its not possible, without running in a vm [09:07] stiv2k: Umm. Which desktop manager are you using? GNOME's? KDE's? Some other one? [09:07] soreau please stand by, still upgrading.... [09:08] can i create a shortcut for calculator in accessories ? [09:08] because last time I looked at GDM's configuration window, it looked like http://i26.tinypic.com/112ad8i.jpg, which has different names. [09:08] brown_boar, use windows as your host if you don't need the graphics power in linux. then you will be fine [09:08] but windows isn't as stable [09:08] brown_boar, says who? [09:08] brown_boar: so your pc has some problems then [09:09] i unplugged a webcam and got a blue screen [09:09] my pc has never had problems with ubuntu [09:09] illuminaris: If it installs a kernel (which is likely), reboot the machine after it's finished [09:09] anyone here use virtualbox and ubuntu? I am looking for some directions to get the display to show the visual effects..is it even possible? [09:09] it mustn't have been a microsoft webcam then [09:09] try a different driver [09:09] brown_boar, not a windows problem. but a problem with the webcam driver [09:09] quote that [09:09] ok i guess i will program the driver [09:10] Hhow can i create shortcut for calculator in ubuntu desktop version ? [09:10] rww: i just rebooted, and yes, it logged me in automatically, and i had to enter my keyring password twice (annoying) [09:10] OceanEleven, keyboard shortcut? [09:10] rww: im using ubuntu netbook remix [09:10] yes [09:11] stiv2k: open a terminal and run "ps -A | grep dm". do you get output related to kdm, gdm, or something else? [09:11] i mean i know about preference -> keyboard shortcuts but i dont command [09:11] rww: gdm [09:11] sam-_-: ? [09:11] OceanEleven, it's under desktop -> "launch calculator" [09:11] odd. there goes my smart idea, then >.> [09:11] rww: damn [09:12] OceanEleven, the command would be gcalctool [09:12] is it smart or stupid to disable swap on my netbook? [09:12] sam-_-: thankyou , found it :) [09:12] thanks a lot [09:13] stiv2k, how about: neither [09:15] soreau ok i restarted this is the output now: OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI R350 [09:16] What is the best way to put music on an ipod nano 3g with Ubuntu 10.04 [09:16] +? [09:17] stiv2k: not recommended, it has too little RAM [09:17] didnt understand you question [09:18] !best | digifor [09:18] digifor: 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. [09:19] How can I put music on an ipod nano 3g with Ubuntu 10.04? [09:19] digifor, rhythmbox gtkpod [09:19] digifor, i think rythmbox is the default application [09:20] hi i just updated to 11.04 do i have to reinstall any of the applications i ws previously running [09:21] JoeMofknDot-: upgrades don't generally remove applications, no. [09:21] JoeMofknDot-, no. support in #ubuntu+1 [09:21] JoeMofknDot-: if you had propriatary video sometimes that needs to be reinstalled [09:21] rhythmbox not working. I am getting an error "Error opening file "/media/blabla.mp3": Read-only file system" [09:21] soreau are you still here? it appears we were successful, is there another step required?

[09:35] can you update to ubuntu 10.10 from within 10.04? [09:35] upgrade* [09:35] !upgrade | tankie [09:35] tankie: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [09:35] tah [09:37] hi all. can anyone tell me specifically the performance difference from 8.04LTS and 10.04LTS ? Or point me at a reference link? Thanks [09:37] yeah, followed that info already. but it hasn't offered to upgrade me to 10.10 [09:37] so presumably its just not offered yet? [09:38] tankie: what's the output of "uname -a" in the terminal? [09:38] stalane: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx,2634.html [09:39] Linux tnk 2.6.32-27-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 1 23:52:12 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [09:39] I was wondering if there is ANY code in Ubuntu such as LKMs that are not 100% FOSS. Thinking about blobs such as drivers for RAID cards etc. [09:39] tankie: if you follow all the steps on the Maverick upgrade page, it should offer you an upgrade. [09:39] alright cheers [09:40] Help !! I am a newbie to ubuntu. Ubuntu not booting. The problem started after I uninstaled Xorg. How do i reinstall it? [09:40] lol [09:40] Onryo: depends on your definition of FOSS. Under some, there's non-free firmware in Ubuntu's kernel packages. If you enable and use the restricted or multiverse repositories, those both contain non-free software. [09:40] I cant acces the terminal too.. [09:41] Only windows booting [09:41] Onryo: nothing in the stock kernel, but I'm not sure if anything is added by the kernel team. try asking in #ubuntu-kernel [09:42] rww what I mean is ALL the code in the kernel and user land ie Metacity Open [09:42] The stock Linux kernel contains non-Free firmware. [09:42] tsimpson thx I have a talk with them [09:42] tankie, perfect thanks so much [09:43] Onryo: As far as I know, a default install of Ubuntu Desktop that doesn't have the checkbox for installing non-free software clicked during install has no non-free software with the possible exception of aforementioned firmware. [09:44] anybody know anything about wine? [09:44] mrchinosun, I do not however you can go to the #winehq channel :) [09:45] mrchinosun: I know some of the names, and even combinations [09:46] rww that is really nice to hear. I am from the world of OpenBSD but quite like the convenience of a "normal" desktop environment at times found in Ubuntu. The GNU/Linux GPL 2.1 looks OK on paper but I was wondering if Ubuntu as a whole was under the same guidelines. [09:46] Hi all, I'm at airport connected to free wifi for 15 mins..so i think server wud hv catched my IP or something. can i try 15mins free wifi again n again by doin some trick? [09:47] Hello!

I want to able to log in through a remote desktop to connection into Ubuntu, without having the need to access the computer IRL. Tried with x11vnc but i seriously couldn't get it working.. I've checked guides, guides and more guides but all have failed due to some random reason. Is there any other [09:49] way? Or would anyone like to guide me through the process of getting it running? [09:51] What should I do if my 'make' command does not terminate? I did http.//wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Acer_Hotkeys. Why does this command not terminate normally showing a normal prompt ? [09:51] Median, http://www.teamviewer.com/ [09:51] llutz, great Thanks! will try that in next 4:55 mins :) and hopefuly can come online back! [09:52] Sure it work sam-_-?

Is there a problem with versions? [09:52] bullgard4: "does not terminate"? for how long, what does it show? [09:52] Median, why would it not? it even work behind a router. with nat [09:52] hi [09:53] every one [09:53] sam-_-: Thanks then! === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [09:53] llutz: For more than 5 minutes. It shows only a blinking block cursor in the next line. [09:54] bullgard4: that usually means, it doesn't run at all [09:54] llutz: If it does not run, what should I do then?

[09:55] bullgard4: some "weired" output of actions taking place [09:55] Onryo, contact intel, that has nothing to do with ubuntu support [09:56] llutz: I do not know what "output of actions" might be. [09:57] bullgard4: compileractions, linker etc. like "gcc -c -Wall -O2 -DUT_DEBUG...." [09:57] bazhang I have been reading their blogs. Intel in the past has always been a big help to the Linux community. I know they are working hard with getting Sandy Bridge to work for the community.

[10:05] tjc_, audacity or use a playlist [10:05] tjc_: you mnean take like 3 mp3 files and make them one very long single mp3 file? [10:05] tjc_, audacious perhaps, or other ubuntustudio apps [10:05] tjc_, err audacity [10:06] yes thats what i mean [10:06] audacity can i find it in ubuntu software? [10:07] tjc_, should be there [10:07] you can also just cat file1.mp3 file2.mp3 file3.mp3 > big.mp3 [10:07] greppy: that resulting mp3 will be broken (even if most players will play it) === jgjones_ is now known as JGJones [10:08] tjc_, apt-cache search audacity to be certain [10:08] Weird this box only has 2 Gig of RAM and yet it installed a PAE kernel? 2.6.35-24-generic-pae .... is that normal? [10:09] tjc_ : to install audacity open up the terminal and type: sudo apt-get install Audacity [10:09] i find it [10:09] in the ubuntu software [10:09] Onryo: Even with normal 32-bit you can access 4GB <_<" [10:09] tjc_ yes you can find it in the synaptic pakage manager and install it like that as well [10:10] ok thank for your help and time [10:10] tjc_ your welcome. [10:10] hi [10:10] what happesn if i get dual monitors and enable compiz cube. will i have 2 cubes [10:10] hi HowardTheDuck [10:10] top left u got that mail symbol where u can choose to open empathy or evolution. but i dont use evolution but thunderbird. is it possible to replace that shortcut? [10:11] top right i mean :) [10:11] ok, new question, how do I purge all java from my system? everytime I try to remove one package, it forces me to install another [10:12] ChrisDruif yeah that is what I thought. Would have thought that the Physical Address Extension kernel would not be needed for only 2 Gig RAM. But yeah it is a 32 bit CPU. Really no big deal but I was wondering. Could it be because I am running mdadm for my RAID? [10:12] amro: sounds like some other packages depend on java, try to identify them and remove them too [10:12] llutz: I'm trying, but it seems as though they depend on some sort of pseudo package? how can I identify them? [10:12] amro: "aptitude why java" [10:13] E: No package named "java" exists. [10:13] amro: or any other packagename for "java" [10:13] HowardTheDuck: i find the cube feature of compiux looks nasty with multi moniutors. it has a lot of settings to tweak it however [10:13] Sheepherd: you want the mail notification to detect thunderbird? [10:14] llutz: that worked, thanks [10:14] edified: yea i think so. [10:14] Dr_Willis, so there actually are 2 cubes? [10:14] interesting [10:15] HowardTheDuck: i forget how iut worked.. badly i recall.. i find the cube pointless in the first lace [10:15] Onryo: It doesn't say so I believe.... [10:15] the cube is fun [10:15] Sheepherd: Ok, give me a second, I'll try to see what I can find out about that [10:16] edified: thanks alot [10:16] ChrisDruif Its really no big deal. Maybe they are just thinking ahead if I want to drop in more RAM later. [10:16] HowardTheDuck: it gets old fast.. and ads very little to what i 'need' an OS to do. [10:16] HowardTheDuck: now the compiz ZOOM feature/.. thats handy [10:16] Dr_Willis, do you use multiple desktops [10:16] Is there a way to upgrade ubuntu 10.10 to the latest build of ubuntu 11? [10:17] nirazio: Please be warned that 11.04 is unstable. Yes you can upgrade [10:17] i like cube, ring switcher, window scaler === mahmoud is now known as Guest67905 [10:17] cdbs: Alright how to upgrade? [10:17] nirazio: come on #ubuntu+1 and I'll explain [10:18] Onryo: Maybe the installer had a bug in it, because Ubuntu installs pae with 32-bit with >=3GB (source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE ) [10:18] HowardTheDuck: with multi moniutor setup - i find i dont use the,m as much as i used to. [10:18] hi all, (i [10:19] 'm back)) [10:19] ChrisDruif I had to use the alt install since I am using a strip RAID so I am guessing you are right.

[10:20] Dr_Willis, yeah, I love the cube on the desktop I built for my gf, but I opted for 1 widescreen monitor rather than 2 [10:20] Sheeperd: Ok are you ready? [10:21] Sheepherd: Ok, are you ready? [10:21] so I have her standard size monitor from her old box, and am tinking about getting a laptop for myself and doing dual monitor with it [10:21] edified: yessir [10:21] Sheepherd: What you first want to do is head over to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/indicators-for-thunderb-223374/ and install the extension [10:22] Sheepherd: then In Thunderbird, go to Tools > Add-ons, click the Install button, locate/select the file you downloaded, and click OK. [10:22] Sheepherd: You will note that the envelope indicator will be green when you get new mail, [10:23] Why my Ubuntu 10.10 Server can't update anymore ?

Well ... as for autostarting minimized try to Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and click the "Add" button.

[11:00] Krish_err_34: well I would look at fdisk -l and /etc/fstab and see if you have a disk that you try to mount that is no longer present [11:00] edified: I believe that "deb http://something/somewhere package-src contrib" is part of the sources list :) [11:01] is there anyway to figure out the command that makes the drop down menu in the tray applet to appear?

[11:19] ChrisDruif: virtualbox, andlinux (por was it anlinux, 32bit only) [11:19] any idea how to solve the problem Dr_willis? [11:20] Windowed: you could exit to the console, and run 'startx' and look for error messages, on the console after X starts. [11:21] Windowed: alternatively, try making a new user, see if it workls for them. if Not that points to some system config issue/. [11:21] Windowed: if it does work for a new user - that implies its a user config file issue [11:21] Windowed: has it ever worked? [11:21] when i try to do that it says the xserver is already working [11:21] can anyone assist with xorg configuration? it seems that ubuntu's installation doesn't add vital information to xorg.conf. is there a way to automate it?

[11:24] Dr-willis is there a way to boot in safe mode? [11:24] aurax: at default there is no config so you or something must have created it [11:25] hmm, is there a way to automatically configure it with hardware detection of some kind?

[11:41] just a stab in the dark [11:42] FireStorm89, I would suggest looking at working source code and trying to understand how/why they used certain techniques.

How do i step from the application code into kernel code ? using gdb i can trace through the source but how do i step through the kernel code . [11:58] kapcom01: but by the sound of it you must of also already had a system that booted from grub? [11:58] ddman, set a hardware breakpoint and step through that way... should go through the stack and kernel [11:58] sacarlson, yes i hade before.. [11:58] Idol_Mind, i won't be able to see the kernel source for say shmat ?

[12:00] Idol_Mind, i know it fails but i want to know why it fails . [12:00] ddman, oooh.. ok [12:01] ddman, i'm not sure how to trace through the kernel, but I'd start looking into reference guides on the sys calls.. [12:02] kapcom01: if you change the mbr to anything other than sda then you will need to change bios to boot from there or have a chainloader boot it [12:02] ddman, sorry..

Otherwise I will loose it and need to compile again. This I would like to prevent. [13:35] dezine, just wondering how it went with awn and/or compiz. did you get the fix you needed?

[14:30] Aruzsi, sorry that url is incorrect [14:30] Aruzsi: well. it's out of support, you can compile it if you want but you should upgrade it, you cannot even get security updates anymore [14:30] Aruzsi: so you shouldn't use that kind of server anywhere [14:30] Oer: that's probably a repo for one specific package [14:31] gobbe: It is in production env.

[14:32] gobbe: It is an internal server. [14:32] gobbe: It isn't on the Net. [14:33] Aruzsi: still.... [14:33] gobbe: We are using SuSE 7.3 in these day because the app not too portable on newer OSes. [14:33] gobbe: It won't. [14:33] Aruzsi: so your only option is either to try find out debs from somewhere or just compile it yourself [14:34] Aruzsi: but both ones are bad, since you are running unsupported os [14:34] gobbe: Yes, you're right but I have to use those OSes. [14:35] Aruzsi: well then you don't have many options [14:35] gobbe: I understand. I'm very sad. :-( [14:36] gobbe: I thought I found the last packages on the net. It is just 1 year "old" (EOL) [14:36] Aruzsi: yep [14:36] gobbe: Thanks for your information! [14:38] hello [14:39] -_ào [14:39] hi everyone [14:39] ya quelquun [14:40] HI [14:40] i fail in ubiquity to reach step 4, syslog gives the following : http://pastebin.com/Rxt4X08q [14:40] hi === d is now known as Guest55723 [14:41] hi [14:41] guys I couldn't install the cube thing (compiz) to my ubuntu. can anyone tell me how to install that? [14:41] spydon: thanks for you help! I will lurker a bit more. Cya [14:42] the_dark_warrio: no problem, hope you solve it! C ya [14:42] does anyone know how to install compiz cube? [14:43] ahmetalpbalkan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [14:43] Galvatron: I am in compizconfig now. I check Compiz Cube but don't know how to use it [14:44] hi the process "grub-probe" and "grub-pc.postinst" are frozen and they cannot be closed. help me, i need to resinstall grub or i wont be able to use this pc again! [14:44] Galvatron: maybe I just could not figure out the rotation shortcut key [14:44] Most likely [14:45] Make sure you have active Viewport Switcher [14:45] Galvatron: what is your viewport switcher key [14:45] can you tell it please? [14:46] Galvatron: and I am not sure how many desktops do I have now. it seems 1 [14:46] never mind i fixed it [14:47] My expo plugin shows that I have only 1 desktop [14:48] I can't increase number of desktops in general part of compizconfig. why?? [14:48] General options > Desktop size [14:49] hmm okay lets do it 2x2 [14:49] You must set horizontal to 4 and vertical to 1 [14:49] do you guys know if 10.10 supports Belkin Wirless Adaptors? [14:49] Galvatron: did it and number of desktops is still disabled to 1 [14:50] It's OK [14:50] is the easypeasy interface a homebrewed one or the original UNR interface ? [14:50] All you must do is set the parameters above it to 4 and 1 [14:51] Galvatron: okay. [14:51] can i allocate some of my ram for swap, [14:51] Horizontal Virtual Size: 4, Vertical Virtual Size: 1 [14:51] Galvatron: http://i52.tinypic.com/8xvmhl.jpg [14:51] crazy_8: i don't think so. [14:51] Help! How to watch anime .mkv with seperated OP and ED files!? On vieos you just check Haali -> "Try to open linked files = YES". What to do on Ubuntu!? :D [14:52] On windows* you just... [14:52] TomShatt: vlc? [14:52] use ram swap in place of disk swap ram is in nano sec, disk is in mili seconds... [14:52] Vlc starts play video again [14:52] Galvatron: then I enabled http://i54.tinypic.com/f3evis.jpg [14:52] gobbe: i've watched mkv files in vlc lots of times,... but never with "linked files".. dunno on that one [14:52] He reaches point where OP starts and starts to play again from begginging. [14:53] KM0201: wrogn person ? ;) [14:53] hello everyone! how can i expand partition /dev/loop0 size on my ubuntu ( 10.04 ) ? does anyone here can help me? [14:53] Now, all you need to do is binding the cube to some key, prefereably to the middle one of the mouse [14:53] I don't know what to change in VLC's options. =/ [14:53] gobbe: no, you made a suggestion of VLC, and i was just saying why i didn't think vlc would work [14:54] Galvatron: where is the name of that binding exactly? [14:54] VLC just starts to play video again from the begining instead of showing me OP or/and ED of episode. [14:54] I believe it has to do something with Codecs. [14:54] Galvatron: I mean is it in desktopcube or rotatecube? [14:55] nobody met same problem? [14:56] does any one can help me? [14:56] Rtate Cube > Bindings > Rotate cube > Initiate [14:56] TomShatt: google suggests its a fairly common question, but i see no solution. [14:57] KM0201: same.. no solution for linux, but same solution for windows. [14:58] But you would be better sticking to Expo (in 2x2 configuration) and bindig it to on of screen corners (Expo > Expo edge) [14:58] *to one of screen corners [14:58] This way it is much faster than rotating the cube [14:59] With 18 GB of RAM, do I really need a swap partition on a desktop installation? [14:59] Galvatron: thx! [14:59] JNZ: highly unlikely... don't know about now days, but the installer used to complain w/ ominous warnings if you didn't create one.. i'm assuming with that much memory, you're not lacking hard drive space, so make a 3gig swap, and call it a day [15:00] yo ubuntu users can someone tell me why empathy don't want to login me correct with my password & why it not response on command: /msg NickServ Identify ??? waf [15:00] ozstr1ker: cuz empathy sucks as an irc client... :) [15:00] JNZ: If you want to be able to hibernate, you need a swap >= physical mem [15:00] hm [15:00] geirha: even w 16gigs?... i dunno [15:00] I really don't care about hibernation, which is why I'm here wondering if it'll negatively impact anything else. [15:01] KM0201: Yeah, since it suspends to disk. [15:01] So it writes the contents of RAM to disk. [15:01] KM0201 :-! but it's simple [15:01] ozstr1ker: well, so is xchat-gnome and xchat(to a lesser degree) [15:01] and they don't suck [15:01] JNZ: You don't really need a SWAP with 1GB or more [15:02] I've been told this, Galvatron. [15:02] Let alone as much as 16GB [15:02] KM0201: When you hibernate, it copies the content of RAM into swap, then reverse when you resume. [15:02] ic [15:02] KM0201 :-S so there is no hope to use empathy all in one to work properly? [15:03] ozstr1ker: i'm assuming there's hope.. but it's really more an application issue, than an ubuntu issue. [15:03] Galvatron: 18, heh. [15:04] hi I want to convert a rpm with alien, it says the deb was created but i can not find it? [15:04] If you have at least 768MB of RAM, you don't need more than 256MB of SWAP [15:04] have another q. how can i browse my hardware from console what magic command to use? [15:05] even though sound works with other software like gnome player or wine whenever something else is using the sound vlc won't have any and gives the error "Potential ALSA version problem: VLC failed to initialize your sound output device (if any). Please update alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or higher to try to fix this issue." is the upgrade really required if sound works fine sometimes? audio seems to break everytime i upgrade ubuntu (current 10.10) and [15:05] JNZ: So don't make something as monstrous as a 3GB SWAP [15:05] Heh. Yeah, I'm going to go without one. Thanks. [15:06] Had a power failure last night, and now locales seems broken, any clue about what to do? 'locale' output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554380/ [15:06] A few people are saying "Don't bother". Just wondering if anyone (including these other people) had any argument other than "you have enough RAM" :p === gidimanunaki1 is now known as gidimanunaki [15:06] i'm spaking out of experience [15:06] I have just 768MB and more SWAP is unnecessary [15:08] @find autocad [15:08] !hi | kurtcobain [15:08] hi [15:09] kurtcobain: this is ubuntu technical support channel [15:09] kurtcobain, @ doesn't work on irc , this isn't an IM client [15:09] Anyone know how to disable update checking when loggin into the terminal? Sometimes I have to wait an annoyingly long time when logging into my server via ssh because it checks for updates so it can tell my how many packages can be updated... [15:09] !autocad [15:09] advice me plz good free fast anti virus [15:09] ozstrlker Avast! [15:09] also you mean [15:09] ok i knew it) [15:09] yes i know [15:10] "Could you please tell me what's a good, free and fast antivirus for [OS here], please?" [15:10] ozstr1ker ubuntu does not require an anti-virus [15:10] i use ubuntu too [15:10] mmol , update the packages them and it won't delay your login the next time you ssh [15:10] Ralink chipsets, i HATE you. [15:10] ozstr1ker: You don't need any, unless you have a server communicating with Windows-based clients and holding Windows stuff (i.e. mail) [15:10] but i've got virus on my flash drive [15:10] is it a windows virus or a linux virus [15:11] ok thx for help [15:11] !virus | asiekierka, [15:11] asiekierka,: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [15:11] yes, because the Linux viruses are few and far between [15:11] unlike Windows [15:11] i m using internet on ubuntu how much it is safe [15:11] sandhu, read above [15:11] useing samba and many information transfer by flash drive [15:12] asiek506: avast is good for both Linux and Windows... but really Linux viruses are only useful if you are filesharing w/ windows machines, and don't want to pass on nonsense to them. [15:12] asiek506: whats wrong w/ your realtek [15:12] asiekierka thanks [15:12] ozstr1ker, then have your drive scanned by an antivirus when you plug it into a window OS [15:12] Ok, I need help [15:13] KM0201: And even if you do...those windows machines got scanners installed for that...right? ;) [15:13] in windows we delete temp files but in ubuntu what we can do [15:13] !ask | amanda_ [15:13] amanda_: 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. :-) [15:13] ChrisDruif: wel yeah, but... you have to assume your friends/co-workers are retarded, and will ignore their virus software... so if you're passing something along, i'd rather verify its clean before hand [15:14] in windows we delete temp files but in ubuntu what we can do [15:14] KM0201: Most of my friends ARE retards....they use Windows :P [15:14] :) [15:14] ChrisDruif: thats probably more brainwashed, than retarded [15:14] hello [15:15] I still have problem with y sound on Ubuntu 10.4 [15:15] I have no sound [15:15] uth: well, thats because ubuntu 10.4 doesn't exist.. you're using an unknown version [15:15] in windows we delete temp files but in ubuntu what we can do [15:15] 10.04 [15:16] Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan HDMI Audio [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series] [15:16] sandhu: look in /tmp [15:16] uth: maybe you should upgrade first [15:16] Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS [15:16] what this is command [15:17] where we have to run this command [15:17] ApolloXVI, why upgarde is I had chose an LTS distro ?

[15:28] overdub: it only shows cdrom... [15:28] mistergibson: normally linux is designed to make threads "wander" the various cores (not designed to be a "RT" or realtime operating system) You might want to search/google for cpu "affinity", you might find some options [15:28] oCean : thanks :) [15:28] just installed 10.10 on my gateway laptop, the install was from a burned iso I got from the ubuntu website and for a few days my wifi worked fine.

[15:40] sorry im angry [15:40] DamnYouGrub: uninstall the kernel in synaptic, then run sudo update-grub2 it's not that difficult [15:40] I thank you for your advice KM0201 [15:40] DamnYouGrub: well, y ou come up looking like an idiot whne you talk like that [15:41] i only cussed once? [15:41] DamnYouGrub: so, there is this max_entries [15:41] DamnYouGrub: doesn't matter, its not necessary... and second, it's against the channel rules [15:41] DamnYouGrub: and the fact you only done it once, doesn't mean you're less of an idiot [15:42] DamnYouGrub: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub and put a value in the commented max_entries [15:42] i'm clearly an idiot which is why I'm here for help? [15:42] thanks [15:42] DamnYouGrub: and i gave you your answer... whats the issue? [15:42] KM0201: just leave it [15:43] I'm on /dev/sdb (where my USB is) in GParted, what now? [15:43] DamnYouGrub: just remove old kernels with synaptic and you are done [15:43] gobbe: well, you have to update grub... but i've told him that, and he just wants to repeat himself. [15:43] gobbe: it is not a permanent fix [15:43] gobbe: there'll be new kernels [15:43] DamnYouGrub, take a deep breath, walk away from the problem for a while, it's nearly impossible to learn when angry [15:43] gobbe: old kernels can be removed from synaptic??? [15:43] WaltherFI: sure, i told him to remove old ones when he gots new [15:43] lynxomania: of course [15:44] Hi everyone. I'm having a hell of a time (on ubuntu) with wireless networking right now. Wicd freezes all of the time, network-manager just doesn't work period, and iwconfig can get it working most of the way, although I still can't ping my residential gateway or access the greater internet. Does anyone know what I can do? [15:44] gobbe: grub has option max_entries [15:44] WaltherFI: i know, but if you are not using old ones why you should keep them in disk anyway [15:44] gobbe: but his/her problem was having to always to do stuff [15:44] wow... lemme try... i've so many old kernels filling up my boot menu... just didnt wanted to take that risk in removing them from grub config [15:45] Ubunewb Yes, sorry. [15:45] lynxomania: I think grub automatically does that for you once you uninstall any old kernel. [15:45] lynxomania: you can remove them with synaptic [15:45] lynxomania: also, grub has max_entries so you can keep your kernels etc [15:45] it limits the boot options it shows [15:45] automatically [15:45] I'm on /dev/sdb (where my USB is) in GParted, what now? [15:45] lynxomania: do a search in synaptic for "linux-image"... sort by package name... and you'll start seeing linux-image-#-##... uninstall the "old" versions... once they're removed, cloose synaptic and sudo update-grub [15:46] WaltherFI: that's true also, but max entries doesn't remove old ones filling your disk, if you are not using them why dont just remove :) [15:46] i didnt knew old kernels can be uninstalled... the only possibility was removing from grub config... now lemme try it... [15:46] Kranix: Now format it with your favorite partition. [15:46] Kranix: what are you up to [15:46] Alberto well did you try going to "system>administration>hardware drivers" ? [15:46] noob here. i want to install a package called kmenc15. but i keep getting E: Unable to locate package kmenc15. can anyone help me? [15:46] here is the outcome in the terminal that I tried to post (flooding the chat) http://paste.ubuntu.com/554392/ @ KM0201 andycc and coz_ [15:46] verbinding viel weg [15:46] tgp1994: automatically does what?... [15:46] gobbe: but as you see, this is a support channel where we want to fix problem people have - and his/her problem wasn't running ouy of HD space [15:47] Walther, check http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1667701 for more info. [15:47] KM0201: Afaik, grub2 will automatically generate its boot list once you install/remove a kernel. [15:47] alberto although there is a lot of issues with the proprietary drivers for amd...but I have also just started to use ubuntu so.. [15:47] Ok, I'm back with the same problem. it said it already had the latest version [15:47] tgp1994: not in my experience, but it might... i always run it after removign old kernels.. but you may be right [15:47] Kranix: sorry, on my mobile :/ [15:47] is there a German channel ubuntu? [15:47] !de | Ubunewb [15:47] Ubunewb: In den meisten ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuchen Sie bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Geben Sie einfach /join #ubuntu-de ein! Danke für Ihr Verständnis. [15:47] Do I just leave the fields as default, except the file system one? [15:48] WaltherFI: i know purpose of this channel and i'm here to give that support :) [15:48] thanks km0201! [15:48] :) [15:48] noob here. i want to install a package called kmenc15. but i keep getting E: Unable to locate package kmenc15. can anyone help me? [15:48] Ubunewb I understand... I've tried several things... [15:48] gobbe: yep, me too. Don't want to be offensive, but he/he was angry for always having to clean up the grub - so always removing old kernels is not fixing that [15:48] Necktie, are you using apt-get install or are you in synaptic? [15:48] apt-get remove* [15:49] I also tried it on a quadcore computer (running windows though) but it had the same issues as MPlayer: constant skipping and pixellation @ KM0201 andycc and coz_ [15:49] necktie: it doesn't appear to be in the repositoories [15:49] WaltherFI: of course not, correct way would be max entries and removing old ones [15:49] Kranix: apt-get [15:49] Try searching in Synaptic. [15:49] FUMOS, which video card are you running? [15:49] I'm trying to use the Ubuntu 10.04 live CD, and sudo requires a password :( [15:49] necktie: what are you trying to install?... because that package is not in the default repos. [15:49] FUMOS, then it's probably some error in the mpg file (if I recall your problem correctly) [15:49] (a non-empty password, that is) [15:49] JoeyA: it shouldn't.... [15:49] KM0201: kmenc15 [15:49] (powerpc) [15:50] albeto so whats the problem? [15:50] JoeyA: try rebooting [15:50] alberto * [15:50] necktie: why ar eyou trying to install it i mean.. is it a dependency of another package, or what? [15:50] KM0201: can't i add backports or something like that? [15:50] JoeyA: also, if it doesn't still work, the cd might be corrupted [15:50] Intel graphics on a laptop @ coz_ [15:50] new kernels will be installed once we run update manager right??? coz 2.6.32.27 is the installed version... i just saw 2.6.35.22 in synaptic... wonder why it was not installed when i ran update manager??? [15:50] necktie: i've got all "default" and a bunch of extra repos on my pc, and that package is not in my package manager [15:50] KM0201: i need it to split avi files [15:50] Ok, I'm back with the same problem. it said it already had the latest version of the b34 [15:51] I think GMA 950 or GMA X3100 or maybe X4500 @ coz_ [15:51] necktie: yes you can add repositories with different packages [15:51] FUMOS, @ doesn't work on irc , this is not an IM , just use the nick you are addressing [15:51] WaltherFI: I checked the sha256sum, and downloaded properly. [15:51] Can't get it to work, no specific error messages... [15:51] amanda_: is the b43 driver active? (menu... system/admin/additional rivers) [15:51] WaltherFI: cool. how can i add backports? [15:51] FUMOS: do you run compiz? [15:52] ;ugt [15:52] FUMOS, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [15:52] My CD drive could just be messed up, I don't know. [15:52] necktie: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:[name of repository] [15:52] yes, WaltherFI [15:52] there is no additional drivers but there is an option for hardware drivers... [15:52] FUMOS: from compiz configuration, check the General options [15:52] necktie: i just checked the ubuntu-backports... that package is not there either [15:52] FUMOS: check if you have the correct resolution, refresh rate etc on there [15:52] new kernels will be installed once we run update manager right??? coz 2.6.32.27 is the installed version... i just saw 2.6.35.22 in synaptic... wonder why it was not installed when i ran update manager??? [15:52] Is it possible to change my desktop environment? [15:53] I still want it to remain in public chat BluesKaj [15:53] amanda_, same thing more or less. [15:53] FUMOS: also, check if you have vsync enabled, it causes pixellation etc on low gpu's [15:53] amanda_: what version of ubuntu are you using again? [15:53] lynxomania: don't know, try sudo apt-get update [15:53] FUMOS, yes it will remain in public chat without the @ [15:53] 10.10 [15:53] Err [15:54] tried it... but the latest version is not comin up... [15:54] Is there any way to see the specific errors in GParted? [15:54] yes it is [15:54] amanda_: youre' using 10.10, and you don't have system/admin/additional drivers? it says hardware drivers? [15:54] i'm using 10.04... so i must be getting the newest kernel!!! [15:54] KM0201: what about ubuntu multimedia? [15:54] Should I talk about Kubuntu here?

[15:55] lynxomania: there might be some issues with it, making it *not recommended* atm [15:55] amanda_: that doesn't really make sense, but ok [15:55] FUMOS, is this a laptop or desktop? [15:55] KM0201: is it there? [15:55] lynxomania: like, 'beta' or testing [15:55] laptop [15:55] necktie: can you not look? [15:55] u must be right... [15:55] FUMOS: do you have vsync on? [15:55] FUMOS, did you check in the bios to see if you can allocate more memory to the video ? [15:55] KM0201: where do i go to look? [15:55] How do I check ther version? it may be 10.04...

I cant find it in the system menu [15:56] KM0201: kmenc15 is the program [15:56] Using the catalyst 10.12 drivers with my radeon hd 2600 pro, artifacts appear (eg. on open office) while scrolling sidewards. anyone got any idea on that?

[16:13] I just want to install ubuntu but use the windows boot manager -_- [16:13] WaltherFI: not sure... to be truthful.. i just tell people it sucks [16:13] lol [16:13] what irc app are you using guys?I'm using the irssi in the terminal [16:13] how do i tell what xvideo driver im using like vesra or xorg [16:13] from terminal [16:13] eXpLoD: me too, almost all using here irssi [16:14] Im not using grub again not after last time [16:14] Taos: that's near impossible [16:14] 18:11 < eXpLoD> @yeats here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554398/ [16:14] eXpLoD: irssi for most of people [16:14] WaltherFI: I personally hate grub2 [16:14] Taos: well, grub is way safter than wubi. [16:14] ok, that code got me to an adduser screen [16:14] tekton, No, the host was not found. Hmmm. the next thing i would do is check if the ports on the windows machine are open. [16:14] Taos: well, like KM0201 said [16:14] Taos: i hate grub2 also, but i only have to see it for 3sec [16:14] Taos: also, there are others too... [16:14] tekton, Can you VNC from your windows machine to your windows machine? [16:14] KM0201: what was the other boot manager? [16:14] Last time I wanted to remove ubuntu something messed up in grub2 and it blew away my boot sector [16:15] eXpLoD: that looks okay.... can you try what you did again and see if you still get the error? [16:15] WaltherFI: you would ask me that... it starts with an L i think [16:15] WaltherFI: LILO [16:15] ha [16:15] what package manager is the best,except synaptic? [16:15] i was close :) [16:15] !polls | eXpLoD [16:15] eXpLoD: 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. [16:15] nugaaeresno i haven't tried that. i didnd't even imagine to connect to the computer from the same mashine. does this show anything? [16:15] migaaeresno i haven't tried that. i didnd't even imagine to connect to the computer from the same mashine. does this show anything? [16:15] Taos: yeah, been there... also, i've had my partition tables go kaboom once, it was a hell to recover [16:16] Taos: but in general, grub2 is the most advanced boot mgr [16:16] WaltherFI: I want a way to install ubuntu, while keeping winodws as the first option in the list and/or using only the windows boot manager [16:16] migaaeresno: i haven't tried that. i didnd't even imagine to connect to the computer from the same mashine. does this show anything? [16:16] other than that im not bothered how I get there === fresh is now known as Guest4840 [16:16] this is what I got in gxine (via the terminal) pksadiq http://paste.ubuntu.com/554402/ [16:16] Taos: it is easy to put it first in the list :) [16:16] tekton, It shows the server is working correctly. But take notice! Some servers disallow connecting from the same machine, see settings. [16:17] sorry for repeating many times, i'm all rusty with irc and don't remember the commands yet [16:17] Taos: making windows the default boot option, is not that difficult. [16:17] Taos: it is in the /etc/default/grub, you can edit the order [16:17] is there any way so I can take space from my windows and add it to ubuntu without having to reformat?I have like 50 GB free and on ubuntu only 10 GB,can I do this? [16:17] Taos: if you want a way to backup your windows mbr, and then easily restore it... so if you decide to remove linux... there's easy ays to do that [16:17] eXpLoD: old gparted [16:17] *sigh* [16:18] Taos: but seriously, Wubi is like going the wrong way on a one way highway... [16:18] Do I want to launch byobu at shell login waltherFI? [16:18] Migaaresno: i will try to connect to my kubuntu from here then, cause the windows belongs to a friend. then i will ask him to try also [16:18] Taos: just install grub, and make windows the first option. it is easy and safe [16:18] * Taos hates windows not having dd [16:18] Taos: when ti fails, it is spectacular and often difficult to fix [16:18] amanda_: oh, what was byoby again [16:18] Hi [16:18] Byobu can launch automatically at login (e.g. console, ssh), providing │ [16:18] │ an attachable/detachable window manager on the command line. │ [16:18] │ │ [16:18] │ If you select this option, Byobu will install a symlink in │ [16:18] │ /etc/profile.d.

[16:19] * KM0201 sighs [16:19] I need a little help with OpenVPN and Routing [16:19] Taos: windows have dd , ld, gcc, irssi, vim, bash, and almost every thing, except the compiz, I think [16:19] Taos: yeah, dd is awesome, for destroying stuff at least :P dd if dev/zero of /dev sda boom there you go and disk unusable [16:19] im dding winodws right now [16:19] how do i tell what video driver i am using from terminal? xorg or vesa?? [16:19] Can't get it to boot from the USB, it's set to do so in the BIOS. [16:19] If you select this option, Byobu will install a symlink in │ [16:19] │ /etc/profile.d. This setting is system-wide, for all users logging into │ [16:19] │ the system. Individual users can disable this by touching │ [16:19] │ ~/.byobu/disable-autolaunch, or configuring with 'byobu-config'. [16:19] amanda_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:20] WaltherFI: I use dd to write iso files, to save cd/dvd to iso files, etc [16:20] wow i just connected to myself and the mirror effect almost crashed my mashine :D [16:20] Kranix: try different port, all computers don't allow boot from some ports [16:20] what is the different between ssh and the vnc? what would be preferable? [16:20] pksadiq: that too, but there are easier and safer ways to do .isos [16:20] Different USB port? [16:20] !ssh | tekton [16:20] tekton: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [16:21] tekton: ssh it's quite a bit more secure [16:21] tekton: vnc gives you a remote display. ssh is a multi-tool. [16:21] crazy_8: I think you can see the name of the video driver with the command lspci -v [16:21] Kranix: I think there is something like F12 or F2 to select the drive to be booted, and some time your usb device will be recognized as Hard drive [16:22] Nothin happened [16:22] so ssh has more options than vnc, and is more secure. great - some kubuntu gui application for ssh? [16:22] tekton: read the factoid. [16:22] i have a root-server running debian and OpenVPN is installed. Both windows 7 clients can connect successfully. But I am not able to ping client1 from client2 or vise versa via vpn [16:22] tekton: sudo apt-get install ssh [16:22] Would a fresh install be my only option? [16:22] hello, how to test a dvd drive? [16:22] tekton: you need manuals then, but ssh is easy to install [16:23] mail email stays in the exim queue but is not send, can you tell me what the problem is? [16:23] josvuk: put something in, check if you see the content [16:23] Azareth: proxys? correct servers/ports set? [16:23] tell i will read it yes. sorry for the simplicity of my last questions. ssh is already installed in my mashine, also read sth about it but not enough [16:23] WaltherFI, yes I did this I can't see the content [16:23] josvuk: sudo mount -a [16:24] WaltherFI : I am a linux newbie so... not sure [16:24] Azareth: check your settings then :) [16:24] VNC is remote frame buffer, its for gui's. While ssh works from the command line. ssh is thus way more bandwith friendly. [16:24] VPNner307: you have to enable client to client in openvpn [16:24] ooops "tell" i use in another console :) . thank you for your advice till now. maybe we speak again for it. good evening [16:24] yes [16:24] WaltherFI places computer shows me cd/dvd dirve [16:24] Azareth: google for the correct settings, most email providers have guides to set up mailers [16:24] Migaaresno: You can forward X over SSH. [16:24] Migaaresno: So it depends. [16:25] josvuk: in terminal, run sudo mount -a while having the cd/dvd in [16:25] scarlson: yes i have with directive client-to-client in server.conf [16:25] I hear SPICE would be better than VNC [16:25] compdoc: in general, SSH > others [16:25] well, not for GUI [16:25] KM0201: take it for a moment, brb [16:26] lol [16:26] is it possible to save logins to multiple mysql DB's via CLI so I don't have to keep tracking down the credentials? [16:26] catalin: Well it can forward X... [16:26] compdoc: you can forward stuff through ssh? [16:26] Set it to Hard Drive, still boots to Windows. [16:26] compdoc: no problem [16:26] WahltherFI: the man page says (usually given in a bootscript) [16:26] if you really want VPN w/ a desktop, the easy/secure way just download and install teamviewer on all the machines.. problem solved.. no router configuring, etc [16:26] What happens to the bootscript? [16:26] sacarlson: should i paste my server.conf? [16:26] KM0201: Teamviewer is nice. [16:26] hhow to remove that sidebar at left [16:27] bwright: and also dead nuts simple to set up... i use it to help my grandma w/ pc probs in kansas [16:27] lol [16:27] lalli: left click - remove panel [16:27] VPNner307: sure and also your route at the server side here's an example http://www.secure-computing.net/wiki/index.php/OpenVPN/Routing [16:27] Kranix: in BIOS select the hsrd drive priority and see whether you can select your pendrive there [16:27] KM0201: I used it when debugging graphics issues from across the pacific ocean when developing an indie title :P [16:27] there is no such button i think [16:27] :) [16:27] I tried setting every option in the boot sequence, still booted to Windows. [16:28] Kranix: Get some GRUB and feel the love. [16:29] having problems with mysql on my server. forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10357143#post10357143 gist: https://gist.github.com/779972 [16:29] How do you install GRUB on a Windows machine? [16:29] you don't [16:29] hi [16:29] Hi [16:29] Kranix: how did you make your USB bootable? [16:29] "enable Wifi" is still greyed out... [16:29] "enable Wifi" is still greyed out... [16:29] IdleOne: It can be done. [16:30] IdleOne: :P [16:30] I just installed the new unity 2d thingy on Ubuntu 10.10 and it's awesome. but, i can't have stuff on my desktop. how do i enable desktop icons [16:30] bwright: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:30] Hm, my fstab has the entry /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exex,utf8 0 0 [16:30] amanda_: what did you do to try and fix it? [16:30] I went to the BIOS, then Advanced BIOS settings, then Boot Sequence, then tried selecting all the things in it. [16:30] bwright: yes it can but if you can't get the system to boot from USB messing with the boot loader is not a good idea...see what i am saying :) [16:30] There must be something that i can copy paste in the terminal to make the desktop work [16:30] Kranix: You are sure the bios supports usb booting? [16:30] does this men my dvd is accesable as hdb after mounting it [16:30] MadCarburetor: as far as i know you cannot have icons with 10.10's unity [16:30] Kranix: I mean the USB stick, how did you make it ? [16:31] It had 3 different boot options with USB i the name... [16:31] IdleOne: mmmm [16:31] what means the noauto causes this perhabps the problem to ben not maunted automatically [16:31] I used UNetbootin. [16:31] byobu [16:31] how do I change my nick?I forgot [16:31] I read that there is now a 2D version of Unity built on Qt. How do I install it? [16:31] Kranix: and how old is this computer? possible that it does not support boot from usb [16:31] andrei_ /nick [16:32] well when I do it nothing happens [16:32] Kranix: hmm, have a look at plop: http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html it might let you bott your usb stick. I used it with an old computer to boot Freenas from a usb stick so I could use it as a file server. === andrei_ is now known as eXpL0d [16:32] how [16:32] what do you do [16:32] it tells me there is already somebody with the username on my ip === josvuk is now known as josse [16:32] which is me [16:32] IdleOne, I don't know how old it is, but it can't be that old considering it has Vista. [16:32] i have ubuntu netbook edition, how to delete that sidebar at left [16:33] And with 3 boot options with USB in the name... === josse is now known as josvuk [16:33] Kranix: hmm see the link NixGeek just gave you. that might help [16:33] lalli, i highly doubt that is possible [16:33] lalli: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get remove unity [16:33] ffuuuuuuuuu [16:33] Kranix: if you feel that your bios doesn't supports USB booting you can use plop boot manager, visit www.plop.at [16:33] ok [16:33] lalli: then you no longer have netbook remix [16:33] WaltherFI: not sure thats gonna have the desired effect..lol. [16:33] lalli: it goes to regular [16:33] good [16:33] thats what i wanted [16:33] pksadiq: a little late on that. look up about 15 lines... [16:33] oh... :) [16:34] why not jut install ubuntu-desktop then?.. [16:34] NixGeek: I was away, sorry [16:34] I typed whatever walther said to and it brought up an adduser.thing [16:34] pksadiq: it's fine, just pointing it out. at least someone else here is thinking [16:34] amanda_: which one? [16:35] NixGeek: have you ever installed plop on a system booting with grub2? [16:35] last question (for now) how can i exit irssi and get back to terminal [16:35] amanda_: sorry, but i have so many helps going on atm, can't remember everything :/ [16:35] lalli: /quit [16:35] sudo mount -a doesn't work still no contetn in places Computer dvdrom [16:35] lalli: /exit [16:35] I cant remember it was right before I asked you about the adduser screen [16:35] you don't have to install it, use a floppy or cd [16:35] it's all good [16:35] josvuk: you have a entry for the cd in /etc/fstab? normally thats not mounted from there. [16:36] Is there a code I can try to manually enable wireless? [16:36] amanda_: i don't know about byobu [16:36] amanda_: sudo iwconfig wlan0 up [16:36] amanda_: theres commands to configure wireless networking. yes. [16:36] pksadiq: I have never installed to a harddrive, the only time I use it is with no waiting boot to usb on my freenas server. [16:36] Well I let it do whatever it was gonna do [16:36] Can i have multiple workspaces in the Unity interface? [16:36] Dr_Willis: Yes I have: /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [16:36] josvuk: notice the 'noauto' option? [16:36] in the /etc/fstab [16:36] josvuk: do sudo mount /media/cdrom0 [16:37] josvuk: thats weird your cd is /dev/hdb [16:37] is there any way to mount an ISO to cdrom0? [16:37] Dr_Willis, that /dev/hdb is very suspicious [16:37] KM0201: you can mount an iso file to a directory./ [16:37] KM0201: er, rightclick Open with Archive mounter [16:37] KM0201: the system really cant tell what kind of drive it is. [16:37] !loop [16:37] Dr_Willis: yeah, i know that.... i was just wanting to mount it as a CD, then you can add it as a volume to synaptic [16:37] !iso [16:37] 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. [16:38] KM0201: you can add it to synaptic anyway from iso i recall. [16:38] Dr_Willis, yes it is, I guess this happens during last ubuntu update, can't remember any problems bevor [16:38] Dr_Willis: hmm.. i tried that and didn't have any luck [16:38] I am about to install Ubuntu 10.10. Is there any reason to use the Alternate Installer? [16:38] maybe i did it wrong [16:38] robbit10: only if you want to do stuff manually [16:38] robbit10: some problem machines - iva had to use the alt-installer cd. [16:38] KM0201: I know you can mount an ISO file so what could stop us from mounting at the location /medai/cdrom0 ? maybe not if it's already mounted to something [16:38] robbit10: it also has some different options during the isntall. [16:38] robbit10: alternate install needs knowledge [16:39] !alternate [16:39] The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [16:39] Which of the files should I download, plpbt-5.0.11-2.zip? [16:39] !minimal [16:39] What do I need for see me with a cam' Which program is supported in Xubutnu? [16:39] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:39] sacarlson: well, definitely nothing is mounted in /media/cdrom0 now [16:39] robbit10: the alternate installer keeps you from having to boot into the full GUI environment - it's a better option in many cases === francisco is now known as Guest90657 [16:39] Dr_Willis: [16:39] josef@josef-laptop:~$ sudo mount /media/cdrom0 [16:39] mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only [16:39] josef@josef-laptop:~$ [16:39] josvuk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:50] amanda_: go there, paste your text, click submit, then copy/paste the URL and give that to us [16:50] amanda_: after you paste to the site you can give the url to the person helping you. [16:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/554421/ [16:51] there we go :) [16:51] hallelujah! [16:51] * WaltherFI applaudes [16:51] Really sorry guys [16:51] no worries [16:51] * yeats congratulates amanda_ [16:51] yeah, we all have been new to something some time, no problem [16:52] WaltherFI: lol, but figuring out paste usually didnt' require getting kicked 4-5x..lol [16:52] it lokos like the wireless device is off [16:52] I was decent with windows...Hate the noob feeling all over again [16:52] amanda_, it disappears quickly [16:53] amanda_: don't worry about being new. we all start somewhere. [16:53] Yeah, it turned its self off yesterday [16:53] Is there a firefox beta repo? [16:53] amanda_: and using linux is already pro compared to winodws ;) [16:53] It was on for 2-3 days, hen all of a sudden off [16:53] amanda_: does your laptop have a switch to turn on/off wifi? [16:53] perlmonkey2: probably google is your friend at that, iäve seen tehre is [16:53] No [16:53] amanda_: do you have like a wireless button?.. to turn your wireless on/off.. thta you normally use? [16:53] no [16:53] ah [16:53] amanda_: could be a driver issue - mine died after some update [16:54] Does anyone use Ubuntu netbook edition here? [16:54] amanda_: my wireless on laptop does not work anymore at all, the whole device is not being recognized [16:54] WaltherFI: what is your device? [16:54] !ask | ixi [16:54] ixi: 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. :-) [16:54] Ixi: many do, what is your question? [16:54] KM0201: realtek ones... [16:54] hmm [16:54] KM0201: i tried compiling some drivers from sources, didn't happen [16:54] helloowww [16:54] It sees the wifi network I set up when I go to network connections [16:55] i've never had luck w/ ndiswrapper... but maybe you/she coul try that [16:55] i just installed ubuntu netbook 10.04 [16:55] Is there a good Lubuntu Forum [16:55] Sorry WaltherFI, I didn't know... [16:55] but cannot hear from the netbook speaker, have to use earphone [16:55] ubuntu: #lubuntu [16:55] amanda_: what do you mean "sees it"... it shows your configuration, or it actually shows the network, just that you're not connected to it. [16:55] somebody help [16:55] IdleOne, I am just a first time noobie who can't connect to her wireless internet Dx [16:55] yes [16:55] ok [16:55] Ixi: yeah no problem with me, it's not a problem at all - it's just a matter of keeping the flood to minimum as this is a very fast-paced channel [16:56] when i compile and build a c program with codeblocks,the output will be in the release directory,but i cannot run it! [16:56] lover: yeah, just ask the question :) [16:56] !wifi | Ixi [16:56] Ixi: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [16:56] amanda_: i dunno, i would try 10.10, but thats just me. [16:56] thank you IdleOne <3 sorry for being a bother [16:56] lover: oh sorry my mistake. Have you checked the sound preferences? [16:56] Ixi: no bother :) [16:57] Hmm you think that'd work [16:57] Or maybe just a fresh install of 10.04.1? [16:57] eXpL0d: is the resulting file marked as executable? [16:58] >.< Thats not the same as mine looks, the netbook edition looks different and I am in network connections, I can add one but I can't connect if that makes sense... [16:58] I wonder if I I wonder if i could get CAS hours for helping people here xD [16:58] amanda_: maybe.. but if an update on 10.04 broke the system.. it's logical when it updates again, it's gonna break again... i dunno [16:58] amanda_: a fresh install will probably fix the issue, seems a little extreme but if nothing else has worked. [16:58] My computer runs out of battery and dies, it doesn't attempt to go to sleep at all. How do I make it go to sleep before it dies [16:58] Ixi: when you are connected, can you ping 8.8.8.8 ? [16:58] amanda_: also, why bother installing 10.04.1, you could go 10.10 at the same time [16:59] True, I'll try 10.10 and report back later [16:59] Can someone help me? I don't know how to install my webcam on my xubuntu [17:00] Thanks for your help an patients [17:00] !webcam | francisco_ [17:00] francisco_: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [17:00] francisco_: if you install and run cheese, do you see yourself [17:00] lol thx xD [17:01] My computer runs out of battery and dies, it doesn't attempt to go to sleep at all. How do I make it go to sleep before it dies? [17:02] HugoGF: power preferences [17:02] HugoGF, happens even on windows when the battery is old and reports strange values [17:02] HugoGF: right click on the battery icon, preferences [17:02] HugoGF: also, occasionally it just happens no matter the setting [17:03] Hello, everyone! I have successfully installed IE6 and IE7 on my system (10.04) using winetricks and exporting to .wine_ie6 and .wine_ie7 but when I tried for IE8 all seemed well until I tried to actually connect to a site using IE8. Is anyone aware of any glitches that I've overlooked or wasn't able to find searching online? Thank you for your time in advance. [17:03] * mneptok stares blankly [17:03] Did I say something wrong? [17:03] How do I begin troubleshooting my new Ubuntu install not being able to suspend? (it looks like it's going well, and then the screen blanks but doesn't turn off and gets stuck) [17:04] Besides installing IE for testing of CSS? [17:04] MauriceJ: no, i just have no idea why anyone would actually *want* to use IE. [17:04] ^ +1 [17:04] MauriceJ: IE8 is quite new, wine can't develop fast enough to contain support for every program at the moment they come out [17:04] Web developer purposes of testing CSS ONLY. [17:04] WaltherFI: OK Thank you veyr much, wasn't aware of that. [17:04] MauriceJ: so use a VM rather than WINE [17:04] MauriceJ: also, try browsershots.org ;) [17:04] wiw: also make sure your system uses laptop mode [17:04] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-laptop-power-saving/ [17:05] !css [17:05] WaltherFI: I'd love to but getting the results is a bit slow for my timeframe usually. Thank you for the suggestion, though! [17:05] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [17:05] MauriceJ: IE runs pretty bad in wine. To get a true use you'll need to use a full windows install in virtualbox or vmware [17:05] !html [17:05] html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [17:05] ActionParsnip: Ah, darn. Okay good to know, thank you, mate! [17:06] MauriceJ: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose [17:06] MauriceJ: then bust out your Windows installer media and install Windows to a VM [17:06] MauriceJ: see PM :) [17:07] no one seems to like KVM [17:07] MauriceJ: this has the advantage of providing you with the complete IE library underpinnings, so you can be sure the results you see are the results Windows users will see. [17:07] Barnabas: Thanks, I see it's not in laptop mode, however I'm unable to get the terminal into su... Is it a separate password than the one for my admin user? [17:07] compdoc: i like [17:07] me too [17:07] wiw : sudo is always used with your own password [17:07] ? is when i plug in my usb devices they always auto mount but i used dd to put an iso on one and it doesnt auto mount anymore how do i mount it so i can formatit [17:07] not that of the root user [17:08] mneptok: Okay, good to know and I think that's the only real solution at this point. Thank you. [17:08] Barnabas: I am using my own password. And I also happen to be the admin... It's saying "authentication failure" [17:08] MauriceJ: np. [17:10] @wiw I just joined in, are you saying you are unable to change your privilages to root in ubuntu (password denied)? [17:10] wiw: don't use su. use sudo. [17:10] I tried both [17:11] wiw: sudo -i [17:11] @wiw if all else fails: http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub [17:11] "permission denied" [17:11] wiw is caps on or off [17:11] wiw: then you are having a problem with your password. if your account was not allowed to use sudo, you'd get output that reflected that. [17:11] wiw: never ever use the root account as the user account [17:12] I can only remeber ever giving my system one password, which is my user's password (the one I put in every time I log in), that the one I'm supposed to be using, right? [17:12] wiw: with sudo, yes. with su, no. [17:12] wiw: correct [17:12] yep [17:12] sudo doesn't ask for a password [17:12] wiw: what about sudo -i ? [17:13] something wrong in sudoers if sudo is not asking for a password [17:13] wiw: "sudo" is a command that requires arguments. [17:13] IdleOne, or the user is not in the correct user group [17:13] the command I'm trying is 'sudo echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode' [17:13] how do you move the minimize/maximaie/close buttons on the windows from the left to the right [17:13] wiw: you don;t just typew "sudo" but the entire command you want to run as root [17:13] exit [17:13] find the shadow if i remember right [17:13] s/maximaie/maximize/ [17:13] wiw: try: sudo apt-get update [17:14] does it ask for pass? [17:14] wiw: that's 2 commands, and the second will require root privileges it does not have [17:14] your user's pw [17:14] 'sudo apt-get update' worked, it asked for a password [17:14] wiw: you want "sudo -i" and then "echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode" [17:14] that user's password [17:15] ok so mneptok is correct, malformed command [17:15] alright, that seems to have worked [17:15] cookie for mneptok :) [17:16] so the buttons on the windows, a metacity thing or a theme thing [17:16] gnome uses metacity by default? [17:16] jetscreamer: or compiz if enabled === Rogeli0 is now known as Ramir00 [17:16] jetscreamer: both. a Metacity theme thing. [17:16] !controls | jetscreamer [17:16] jetscreamer: In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [17:16] thx ahh. thanks again.. AHH thanks [17:16] I'm gonna try to suspend the system again, thanks! [17:17] goodnight all! [17:19] hello [17:19] help plz [17:19] hello [17:19] hey, with?

It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [17:22] hi world [17:22] I used that same live CD on a laptop and it worked fine [17:22] same cd might work differently on different hardware [17:22] What is the command for printing the current time in 24-hour format? [17:23] hello [17:23] ubottu, I'll try your tip, thanks, but... [17:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:24] !test [17:24] Failed!

I used Nvidia proprietary drivers, which were removed during the upgrade [17:30] induz, download for linux [17:31] Thanks, what about ISA, RS232 and parallel? [17:31] Alrighty, so why is it that hardware drivers isn't finding any drivers for me? [17:31] Is there something about the new Ubuntu that makes it not want to work by default?

[17:34] abhijeet, yes [17:34] Pudabudigada, yes, && means "after successful completion, run this next command" [17:34] Pudabudigada: one issue with doing that. is that ANY error from update. will keep upgrade from working.
