[00:00] Hi all! What's the command for bulk renaming? [00:00] EvilSush1, and why would he want to do that? [00:00] ilovefairuz: I'm using it to boot to "HDDHACKR" to install a different firmware onto the disk. There is a FreeDOS folder in here as well, but it's a folder and not an ISO. [00:00] sam-_-: if he needs 2.7 and its not in the repos, why not? [00:00] ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/Lbax4uGT [00:00] sonata: check the freedos wiki on how to make a bootable usb [00:00] EvilSush1, has even has it installed already [00:01] EvilSush1, *has = he [00:01] I want to substitute a space in the filenames with 0. Eg: Season 1 becomes Season01/ [00:01] EvilSush1: http://pastebin.com/05c4FWqd [00:01] \/ = /tcl [00:02] only frst === denny- is now known as denny [00:02] mv = move [00:02] dizital: typically its called wlan0..

[00:04] ilovefairuz, Looks like there are no errors, it looks as though it extracted a lot of things [00:04] i not delete folder [00:05] sam-_-: heh i dunno man im new to ubuntu =)( [00:05] dizital: then sudo ifconfig essid "the essid you want" [00:05] folder have permission owner root [00:05] dizital: err [00:05] purpley123: now try this again: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source [00:05] dizital: sudo ifconfig ra0 up [00:06] EvilSush1, should be the same in other distros i think. [00:06] dizital: then sudo ifconfig essid "the essid you want" [00:06] used sdparm to disable sleep on the drive === root is now known as Guest46619 [00:06] dizital: then try iwconfig ra0 [00:06] we'll see fi that helps === smw_ is now known as smw [00:06] dizital: and paste me what it says [00:06] jacko, that's not what I want to do. I want to rename Season 1 to Season01, Season 2 to Season02, Season 3 to Season03, etc. [00:06] if root owned be careful but ......................... sudo xterm ........................................ be VERY CAREFUL [00:06] sam-_-: not every distro uses sudo [00:07] EvilSush1, you know what i meant ;) [00:07] yeat:http://paste.ubuntu.com/554903/ [00:07] dsnyders: looks like you need regex [00:07] when i type in the essid it gives me, error fetching interface information: device not found even though it came up on the scan [00:08] yeat: are you there sir? [00:09] dizital: these are the commands you need to get it working. iwlist , iwconfig , dhclient, ifconfig.. Make sure your networking device is up.. Does it have any encryption? If so you need wpa-supplicant [00:09] g11992: yep [00:09] g'day all :) [00:09] dizital: wpa-supplicant is a horse of a different color -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 [00:09] Session(*.) -> Session0%1 or some such [00:10] ilovefairuz, Hello?

[00:13] Zoresvit, have you actually cranked up the volume on say, a live concert, and watched it on VLC? [00:14] ssbpls: ls -lah /home/user/ whats the permissions on the .ICEauthority file? [00:14] Roasted, i don't have the problem. but you could try setting a higher buffer and selecting a different audio output driver [00:14] sam-_-, how do you set a higher buffer? [00:14] there is no .ICEauthority file [00:14] Roasted, is the file on the network or local? [00:14] Gah I'm going nuts... can't mount this bloody drive (internal SATA, 250G, NTFS), Ubuntu recognised it at first, no problems, then I moved around SATA ports, then I installed Win7 (seperate new drive) and it won't mount... et al :(. I can access it in Win7 but, says no errors. Ubuntu says "File system NOT clean", and refuses to mount, but can see it in the manager... [00:14] sam-_-, local [00:15] /etc/mount or /etc/mnt [00:15] ssbpls: uhh then try touching it and make sure it has your owner and 644 permissions [00:15] Roasted, then access modules -> file [00:15] Roasted, there is sth. called caching value [00:15] Daniel: boot to windows and "disk check" that drive [00:15] sam-_-, access modules - file? [00:15] Roasted: Not live concerts, but .mkv movies. everything seemed to be fine [00:16] In windows atm, just did chkdsk, not a problem [00:16] Zoresvit, good to know. one of my concerts is an MKV... [00:16] Daniel: ok then, boot back into ubuntu [00:16] k... brb :P [00:16] g11992: not sure it matters for the error you posted... it's a package manager error that doesn't have much to do with connectivity === paul__ is now known as nunya [00:16] Roasted, prefs -> then select show settings all -> input/codecs -> access modules -> file [00:16] Daniel: hopefully you checked the right drive! [00:16] still not working ;'( [00:17] touch it ? and then how to find back my lost file? i have searched it that my file have been locked . [00:17] Roasted, ctl+p will give you prefs [00:17] why does my computer start off muted when I start it up? [00:17] sam-_-, got it. [00:17] chkfs /dev/drive where drive is drive and -t filesesystemtype is a possible option [00:18] Daniel, you don't hibernate windows, do you? [00:18] ssbpls: you said its not there. So how can It be locked if its not there? [00:18] MCP79 High Definition Audio - MSI AE2020 - No sound, any more ideas... I REALLY need this pc, its the only one I could record let's plays on...

[00:21] christhecoolboy, and how do you test if the sound is working? [00:21] ssbpls: it is encrypted [00:21] okay guys im out [00:21] christhecoolboy, are your speakers working? [00:21] hope you guys get your stuff figured out! [00:21] i feel it [00:21] I go in to sound... [00:21] and click on test speakers [00:21] nothing comes out [00:21] and how to decrypted?

[00:23] All I hear is the sound of my PC [00:23] clicking [00:23] plut0: don't think so, i have it set to hidden too [00:23] -2222222 [00:23] no sound at all [00:23] shcherbak:how to decrypted it out ?

[01:45] semitones: where do i find the correct driver? i looked, but couldnt find it. [01:45] robby, the thing to do is go to System>Administration>Additional Drivers [01:45] robby, and see what the program suggests [01:45] fermulator: that worked much better.. it shows I have 9.7g and 8.3 used.. now how do I identify what's taking all that space? [01:46] Scunizi: "disk usage analyzer" is a great graphical tool that comes with ubuntu [01:46] fermulator: yes.. however I'm on kubuntu [01:46] Scunizi: Menu --> Accessories --> Disk Usage Analayzer [01:47] ilovefairuz, now its doing nothing when i click on it [01:47] Scunizi: the binary is called "baobab" [01:47] i [01:47] hi [01:47] Scunizi: if you can't install that in Kubuntu, then use "sudo du -h --max-depth 1 /", and traverse recursively. [01:47] induz: open a terminal, and type: cd yam-linux; ./YamiPond [01:47] can someone help me? [01:47] fermulator: I think kdirstat is the kde version [01:47] I don't know why can't I hibernate my pc [01:48] semitones: it says i have a nvidia accelerated graphics driver, but still have the same problem, and cant play any games (ie: open arena) [01:48] Scunizi: i.e. run it on "/". Find the largest directory., re-run again on "/LargestDir", find the largest dir in "LargestDir", re-run again on "/LargestDir/2ndLargestDir", etc. [01:48] semitones: i can open the games, but they wont play correctly. very choppy [01:48] when I trun on my pc from hibernate I got black screen [01:48] :\ [01:48] fermulator: interesting.. k.. thanks [01:48] robby, ok -- is this your card? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_4_Series [01:49] ilovefairuz, I am on that directory [01:49] robby, do you know which is yours specifically? [01:49] induz: inside the terminal? [01:49] stealthc_: you can have it fixed with e2fsck [01:49] ANYONE? [01:49] :( [01:50] semitones: it says on the tower that i have a nvidia gforce 4 [01:50] ilovefairuz, yes yam-linux$ [01:50] ANYONE? [01:50] robby, alright, this is the guide i'm going off of: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:50] robby: "lspci | grep VGA" [01:50] probably no :\ [01:50] H3r0: does +f2 get you a console? [01:50] induz: ok: chmod +x YamiPod; ./YamiPod ... any errors? [01:50] !anyone | H3r0 [01:50] H3r0: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:50] robby, take a look at that link for a sec [01:50] I can't mount usb devices with a user account getting errors. Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:mount: only root can mount /dev/sde1 on /media/backup_1 [01:51] H3r0: are you using an encrypted home?

[01:51] ilovefairuz, it says /yam-linux$ chmod +x YamiPod; ./YamiPod [01:51] ./YamiPod: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [01:51] robby, based on that link i gave you, the driver you should choose in the "additional driver" section is "nvidia-glx" [01:52] tensorpudding - ???? [01:52] H3r0: tensor as in n-D linear? [01:52] jacko - I don't know [01:52] induz: sudo apt-get install  libstdc++5; ./YamiPod [01:54] induz, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/notes/libstdc-so-5-error [01:54] semitones: it doesnt give me a list of drivers to chose from, it just tells me the one i have. [01:54] H3r0: google einestien tensor algebra [01:55] jacko - how does it connect to hibernate? [01:56] ilovefairuz, what should i do now [01:56] H3r0: it's a pudding thing........ what you trying to hibernate? [01:56] ZykoticK9: does 5 ship by default in maverick ? [01:56] ilovefairuz, NO [01:56] robby, i don't know what to tell you! there should be some way of seeing which driver you're using right now [01:56] jacko - my ubuntu? [01:56] ilovefairuz, not in Lucid either [01:56] jacko - my ubuntu!* [01:56] robby, to make sure it's nvidia-glx [01:57] ZykoticK9: so isn't installing it first and trying a better course of action? [01:57] why does the standby not work enough, or is the booting process too slow? [01:57] induz: did you finish the package installation ? [01:57] ilovefairuz, sorry you lost me - i wasn't really following, just say the libstdc error [01:57] jacko - when I trun on I got black screen [01:57] ilovefairuz, error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [01:57] ZykoticK9: i think he's just missing the package [01:57] Thanks for the recommendation guys! [01:58] H3r0: with flashing cursor? [01:58] induz: did you do this command: sudo apt-get install  libstdc++5 [01:58] ilovefairuz, there is no libstdc++.so.5 package actually [01:58] ilovefairuz, yes [01:58] ilovefairuz, it's been deprecated === Look is now known as _____xD [01:58] ZykoticK9: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/libstdc++5/filelist [01:58] ilovefairuz, i did this sudo apt-get install  libstdc++5; ./YamiPod [01:58] well, fellas, gnome-rdp was incredibly easy, basically just like using windows, thanks [01:58] jacko - yes [01:59] i do get an error message when i quit though [01:59] it indicates a lack of a boot loader [01:59] semitones: lspci -v | grep driver [01:59] induz: why the extra "?" before lib [01:59] ilovefairuz, oh - well, i have no idea then - was an issue on Lucid (what i'm back to running) sorry, perhaps there is a package in Mav [01:59] IdleOne, thanks :D robby: try the command that idleone just posted [01:59] fermulator: You are my absolute hero, <3 Webmin [01:59] anyone know what a bad atom is? [01:59] fermulator, where do I get gnome-rdp? [01:59] H3r0: it indicates a lack of a boot loader [02:00] semitones: is that an i or an l? [02:00] IdleOne, he's got the problem where the desktop is bigger than his screen [02:00] jacko - so what should I do? [02:00] semitones: or lspci -v (will give a lot more info) [02:00] joebob777as7: I think you can add the privlige to that user to mount external file systems by System>admininstartion>Users & groups advanced settings user privliges tab [02:00] induz: no "?" before lib: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 [02:00] Robb__, it's an L [02:00] H3r0: boot from a live CD and grub-install it's not simple [02:00] oh the middle thing? [02:00] induz: when it finishes downloading and installation, do: ./YamiPod [02:01] jacko - I know [02:01] robby, the middle thing is a pipe, it is \ with the shift key [02:01] robby: the | is shift+ \ [02:01] ZykoticK9: looks like it's in lucid backports [02:01] jacko - so what should I do? [02:01] I'm having trouble getting sound to work in Totem (Movie Player). Sound is working in Firefox for YouTube videos. Can anyone help me out? [02:01] All: How do I set a program to run on boot? In Gentoo there's the rcupdate command which sets a service to a runlevel [02:01] o ok [02:01] robby: pipe aka | is connect the output of the left to the input of the right [02:02] Do repositories stop working in older versions of Ubuntu? [02:02] I want to have Guake run on boot. [02:02] IdleOne, does getting the right driver usually fix that problem? [02:02] semitones: it won't hurt that is for sure [02:02] Sunsp0t, not at boot, at login - System / Preferences / Startup Applications should work. [02:02] alberto: yes [02:02] How would i see the CPU voltages in Ubuntu 10.10? lm-sensors doesnt show them. === roaming is now known as INFURNO [02:02] sunshinepants? [02:03] ZykoticK9, nice, thanks! God Ubuntu is so much easier than Sabayon. [02:03] semitones: wat do i do after that? sorry for all the ?'s but im new to linux lol [02:03] ilovefairuz, i get this error; (YamiPod:4655): Gtk-CRITICAL **: _gtk_accel_group_attach: assertion `g_slist_find (accel_group->acceleratables, object) == NULL' failed [02:03] alberto: see old-releases.ubuntu.com [02:03] robby, that's ok :) it's the only way to learn [02:03] robby, what dfiver does it say you're using [02:03] Sunsp0t: Isn't Sabayon bsaed on Gentoo? (Hence the difficulty level). :) [02:03] based* [02:04] H3r0: from live boot you can: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda # change sda1 and sda to your choice [02:04] i am using Konversation, why does my cursor disappear?

[02:04] Hello. Anyone got info on using jack on Maverick? [02:04] sacarlson - oh? [02:04] induz: seems like an issue with the the application, and i can't help with that [02:04] How would i see the CPU voltages in Ubuntu 10.10? lm-sensors doesnt show them. [02:04] IdleOne, this site says the latest nvidia driver is broken -- have you heard that? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [02:04] Hi guys. I have a question about audio formats. Is it possible to change a mp3 file into a wma file? And if so, how would I go about doing it. [02:05] ilovefairuz, thanks a lot and i learnt a lot [02:05] red2kic, You are right! However, Sabayon aims to be the best of both worlds by offering, in essence, an Ubuntu-like overlay with a package manager. The problem is, when things break, I'm f*cked. [02:05] I ask because there was a tutorial for lucid back then, but I didn't have much success with it. [02:05] semitones: install nvidia-current, reboot and see if that helps. [02:05] wingnut2626: ffmpeg -i file.mp3 file.wma ... *should* work [02:05] induz: you're welcome [02:05] semitones: Kernel driver in use: agpgart-nvidia [02:05] Kernel driver in use: nForce2_smbus [02:05] Kernel driver in use: ohci_hcd [02:05] Kernel driver in use: ohci_hcd [02:05] Kernel driver in use: ehci_hcd [02:05] Kernel driver in use: forcedeth [02:05] semitones: from repos [02:05] robby: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:06] what is pastebin? [02:06] I must say, though, that Sabayon is a very, very beautifully done distro - many of your would LOVE it. It's OOTB functionality is better than Ubuntu and it handles compiz far more smoothly. [02:06] robby, alright we'll try to install nvidia-current and see if that fixes the problem [02:06] Is there a way to stop someone from getting on the network in dhcpd.conf? by mac address? [02:06] semitones: ok [02:06] robby: read what ubottu is saying [02:06] robby, it's a website that lets you paste a lot of text, so it doesn't flood the channel here [02:06] robby, pastebin is a way of quickly pasting text/code and having a link made for oyu. [02:07] oooo ok thx [02:07] How would i see the CPU voltages in Ubuntu 10.10? lm-sensors doesnt show them. [02:07] pastebin.ca (the canadian version) is faster IMHO. [02:07] Hi, I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and yesterday I installed kubuntu-desktop using the Synaptic Package Manager. I'd like to completely remove kubuntu-desktop, along with KDE and all the packages it came with. How can I do that? [02:07] robby, ok, try this: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install nvidia-current [02:07] !puregnome | bfreis [02:07] bfreis: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [02:07] bfreis: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome ... be careful with this stuff [02:08] What is it about Ubuntu that allows it render fonts so beautifully? [02:08] ilovefairuz, where can i find this application as i dont know yet if it was installed on my ststem or not [02:08] Thank you, guys. [02:09] robby: http://paste.ubuntu.com/554937/ as an example [02:09] Is there a way (perhaps in compiz) to fade a monitor to black with a hotkey? [02:09] I don't mean put it to sleep [02:09] But just hide the windows and wallpaper === Koopa516 is now known as Koopa516[gone] [02:09] induz: it doesn't need to be installed, if it wasn't for the errors, it would have run directly when you clicked on it or issued: ./YamiPod [02:09] iolve i meant under what category this yamiPod was installed if its installed on my system at all? [02:10] EnigmaticCoder, xbindkeys with a script can do thart [02:10] ilovefairuz, so its not yet installed?? [02:10] And I only want this applied to one monitor, not both [02:10] induz: nope, wasn't installed, it just runs out of that directory in your home page [02:10] EnigmaticCoder, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-custom-keyboard-shortcut-in-ubuntu.html [02:11] ilovefairuz, ok [02:11] hey guys using 10.04 and trying to start a normal boot. I get to where it says starting up and usually where it will go to gdm, my monitor goes black and goes to sleep. Havent a clue as to what caused it. Tried to repair packages, that didnt work. Tried failsafe graphics mode, that didnt work. What can I do next to recover my Ubuntu install? [02:11] Dammit, the automatic removal of Kubuntu won't work! [02:12] semitones: what is the exact code i type in because that didnt work [02:12] jimisrvrox, try removing/renaming your xorg.conf, reboot and let it reset [02:12] semitones: he may not have aptitude installed, it doesn't install by default anymore [02:13] doesn virtualenv create a new python interpreter? [02:13] robby, oh, in that case [02:13] or does it link to the one it is run from [02:13] The information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome does not work for me. [02:13] robby, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-common [02:13] apt-get says lots of things like: Virtual packages like 'freespacenotifier' can't be removed [02:14] Any ideas? [02:14] bfreis, sounds weird! what did you do lol [02:14] robby: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [02:15] IdleOne, oops :S [02:15] I just copied and pasted the apt-get remove command along with its huge list of package [02:15] *packages [02:15] maybe you don't have them installed? [02:15] It also gives me errors like the following: E: Unable to locate package install-package [02:15] EnigmaticCoder: "xset dpms force off" [02:15] robby: sudo apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-current [02:16] EnigmaticCoder: Use that -- Figure out how to apply to a single monitor. Perhaps. [02:16] has ubuntu added an upstart script for php5-fcgi? [02:16] idleone: says its already the current version. 0 new, 0 upgrade, 0 everything [02:16] Maybe, I have no idea. [02:16] robby: ok, that is a good [02:17] EnigmaticCoder: http://tinyurl.com/4n7soaw :) [02:17] red2kic: I'd prefer a blank screen screensaver so there's no lag between turn off/on [02:17] next thing to check would be System > Preferences > Monitor and play with the settings some. [02:17] robby: ^^ [02:17] bfreis: can you pastebin the full command and output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and share the URL [02:17] ? [02:17] red2kic: That may be the best option, however ty [02:17] IdleOne, did we check to see if the driver is actually in use? [02:18] sam-_-, [02:18] semitones: he pasted agpart-nvidia [02:18] I just installed ubuntu, and on the newly installed system I get "no init found" [02:18] I've tried reinstall'ing several times and always get the same thing [02:18] IdleOne, ok -- I hadn't seen that before, so I wasn't sure if that meant he was using nvidia-current [02:18] I md5sum'ed the DVD, anything else I should check? [02:19] semitones: he can also run nvidia-settings and adjust the display configuration [02:19] <^Phantom^> If I wipe all partitions of an ntfs drive from within ubuntu, will I be able to reformat that drive as NTFS from within a windows system? [02:19] yeats, http://paste.ubuntu.com/554938/ [02:19] <^Phantom^> Also, how can I wipe the drive deeply? [02:19] ^Phantom^: yes [02:19] ^Phantom^, NTFS is a partition scheme, not a drive scheme but...yes you can :) [02:19] <^Phantom^> I want to wipe this drive good [02:20] <^Phantom^> There's a virus on it [02:20] <^Phantom^> that really effed up its os [02:20] IdleOne, yeah, because if he's using the binary driver, the monitor menu option doesn't work [02:20] idleone: there is no preferneces under system [02:20] edrahn: I'm looking at few possible solutions. Did you fsck your hard drive? (I used "ubuntu, no init found, solved" for google) [02:20] Bing0, actually NTFS is a file-system, separate from partitioning [02:20] edrahn: does that mean you don't get as far as grub? I think you chose the wrong device to install your mbr try /dev/sda [02:20] <^Phantom^> but the computer it was originally in has a toasted mobo [02:20] ^Phantom^, you should be good to go using ubuntu live cd for that [02:20] red2kic: yep [02:20] <^Phantom^> i'm in ubuntu 10.10 full install right now [02:20] ZykoticK9, true. just tried to clarify ntfs dont sit on a drive as a partition. :) [02:20] <^Phantom^> I think I'm finally ready to "nuke the drive" [02:21] err.. leme rephrase :P [02:21] sacarlson: I install fine. and it loads grub [02:21] but the kernel dosn't load [02:21] ill be right back, let me restart and see if anything happens [02:21] robby, try running "nvidia-settings" from the terminal [02:21] <^Phantom^> I don't dare reboot to the windows drive until this drive is NUKED [02:21] edrahn: did you have a linux system before you installed this one? [02:21] semitones: how do i do that? "run"? [02:22] <^Phantom^> I don't want to take any chances of this virus getting over to this machine's windows install [02:22] sacarlson: yep [02:22] robby, you can hit ALT-F2 as well [02:22] robby: it should be the first option under the System menu tab [02:22] <^Phantom^> it's a nasty little bugger that destroys any program that tries to find and delete it [02:22] and it locked up, when I rebooted I get this [02:22] robby, just type it and press enter [02:22] robby: type and hit enter: nvidia-settings [02:23] yeats, if I remove the packages listed as errors from the list of packages to remove, then apt-get can proceed [02:23] however, it seems that it will remove gnome also! [02:23] ^Phantom^ looks like it had allyour file data for however long you had it [02:23] edrahn: sounds like grub still points to the old kernel, with live boot see that your /boot kernel and init.? match that as seen in grub entry [02:23] <^Phantom^> I immediately stopped using that drive when the virus hit [02:24] <^Phantom^> i've finally got all the stuff i wanna keep off of it [02:24] idleone: it says "you do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver. please edit your x configuration file, and restart the x server. [02:24] <^Phantom^> and i'm ready to nuke the drive good [02:24] hey, I'm looking for a package in the ubuntu partner's repo, it shows up on launchpad but not in the repo [02:24] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/swftools/0.9.0-0ubuntu2 [02:24] what am I doin' wrong :( [02:24] ^Phantom^ it hit when detected, it could have been on long before that until it was detected [02:24] robby, in a terminal "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then log out and back in. [02:24] <^Phantom^> No [02:24] <^Phantom^> I remember when I got it [02:24] <^Phantom^> I remember opening the file that had it [02:25] robby: not sure what to do now [02:25] Is there a way to get httpd in ubuntu instead of apache2 (I know it's the same thing, I';m just used to httpd from centos)? [02:25] IdleOne, maybe delete xorg.conf and try rebooting? [02:26] gaspar|work: no [02:26] ^Phantom^ dont keep any executables [02:26] robby: make sure you have Visual effects enabled in System > Prefs > Appearance. [02:26] <^Phantom^> oh nononono [02:26] <^Phantom^> not a chance [02:26] gaspar|work, should be able to install np [02:26] semitones: that might help, really not sure, it would create a blank xorg [02:26] Bing0, Just install it from source? [02:26] ^Phantom^ stick with ubuntu and use wine :) [02:26] gaspar|work: just use apache2... [02:26] <^Phantom^> I have this machine set up with dual-boot [02:26] gaspar|work, try sudo apt-get install httpd [02:27] <^Phantom^> Because there's certain things I can only do in windows itself. ;) [02:27] Bing0: besides editing the xorg.conf file what can cause xorg failures? [02:27] yeats, looks like the information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome is out of date [02:27] IdleOne, i'm still not sure if he's using the right driver -- the community docs say that geforce4 should use "nvidia-glx" [02:27] Bing0: You're a funny guy. That package does not exist. :) [02:27] edrahn: another thing I just thought of is if you installed with a usb flash then sometimes those mount as /dev/sda if that's the case then you might have needed to install grub mbr to /dev/sdb [02:27] bfreis: yep [02:27] red2kic, hang on [02:27] Bing0, Does not work, ther is no package httpd [02:28] IdleOne, or is that the same as nvidia-current [02:28] gaspar|work: There are lighttpd -- I heard great things about it. [02:28] gaspar|work, maybe you need to comp from src. im not of my arena now :) [02:28] semitones: enabling from the Appearance menu should pull in the correct driver. I assumed he needed -current (my fault) [02:28] I've got some questions about installing Ubuntu on an abysmally old laptop === mbgray is now known as milkman [02:29] <^Phantom^> ergh [02:29] IdleOne, these docs might be old -- i suspect that nvidia-glx is -current [02:29] * ^Phantom^ kicks the folder he's in [02:29] IdleOne, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia [02:29] <^Phantom^> I just came across the file that gave me the virus, lol [02:29] uberNewb: if it's really old ubuntu might not be the best pick but you could try lubuntu I think is what it's called [02:30] lubuntu is minimalist but runs like a charm! [02:30] Well, I've got to install on a laptopwith 64MB ram, 590MHz cpu, and 5GB hdd [02:30] lubuntu? lxde? [02:30] * nyRednek *gag* [02:31] Also, it won't boot to CD or USB [02:31] good luck with 64mb ram [02:31] better check if that meets lubuntu's min reqs [02:32] uberNewb: You probably don't want to install any X11 with that. [02:32] I just need something. When I booted, I found malware-ridden Windows p [02:32] uberNewb, tinyx is a small x alike [02:32] Windows XP [02:33] ouch [02:33] xp with that little ram is :( [02:33] uberNewb: puppy linux (but this is off-topic ;-) ) [02:33] So, should check out lubuntu, puppy linx, or tinyx? [02:33] <^Phantom^> Okay, I have unmounted the drive [02:33] uberNewb, lubuntu is the most like a full install out of those [02:33] Is there a list of webcams somewhere that are known to work in lucdid? It's have to be a list of stuff I can find new in stores now. [02:33] uberNewb: I'd start with puppy [02:33] uberNewb, puppy is quite nice though [02:34] craigbass1976, best thing i did was googled the camera m ake/model with ubuntu 10.10 [02:34] or 10.04 and see what others experience. [02:34] Cool. As long as I can I can do C++ and Java dev that's enough for me. [02:34] how can i copy a dir without permissions, ownership but retain timestamps? [02:34] Ok. Have to do some recon in a store I guess. [02:35] uberNewb: even lubuntu requires 128meg ram [02:35] webPragmatist1: use cp and pass the appropriate argument to --preserve? [02:35] webPragmatist1, tar can do timestamps but not certain if u can filter permission and ownership [02:35] webPragmatist1, dumb question, but why not copy it and change the perms and ownership afterwards? [02:35] So, it looks like puppy is what I should go for then. Any tips for installing without external media? [02:35] jrib: thanks [02:35] semitones: easiers this way heh [02:36] lol as long as you get it to work :P [02:36] I remember 64MB linux with 6Gig disk, but that was minimal [02:36] uberNewb, the puppy website probably would be the best place to check for that [02:36] uberNewb: you could use usb flash to install or pxe netboot, ya maybe puppy [02:36] uberNewb, you might have to boot grub from a floppy or something like that [02:37] didn't qnx boot of a floppy? [02:37] jacko, so does LOAF [02:37] what's a quick command to grab your screen resolution from X? i forget [02:37] does cp preserve symlinks? [02:37] nyRednek, PRNT-SC key [02:37] nyRednek: xdpyinfo | grep -i root [02:37] Thanks a lot everyone. I've never a lot of experience with linux on old systems. I appreciate the advice. [02:37] nyRednek, oops.. [02:37] nyRednek: erm, nope. But grep something else :P [02:37] uberNewb: #puppylinux is the support channel [02:38] nyRednek: xrandr ? [02:38] uberNewb: it's old so bios may not support usb flash install so also look at plop boot manager http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [02:38] <^Phantom^> okay, well, the drive is now empty [02:38] nyRednek: dimensions :) [02:38] jrib, i got gdm to work, but still not sure about that nmcli :P [02:38] <^Phantom^> would it be better to create the ntfs partition within windows? [02:38] How to I create a process priority for an application at the same time i start it ? === richard is now known as Guest61590 === Guest61590 is now known as richardr [02:38] lithionlx: use the "nice" command [02:38] ^Phantom^, IMHO, yes [02:39] <^Phantom^> Okay, thankies. [02:39] <^Phantom^> I'll go do that after the format is complete. [02:39] cp -d preserves symlinks? [02:39] how can i be sure i am utilizing all six of my cores? [02:40] lithionlx: you should man nice [02:40] will do right now [02:40] lithionlx, run six processes? [02:40] is there by chance anywhere you can get the ubuntu man pages offline in mobi or epub?

[02:42] <^Phantom^> ^_^ [02:42] i bypassed that in win to constantly utilize all 6 of my cpu cores [02:42] ^Phantom^, please type wht you can on as less lines as possible. enough going on in the chan. thanks :P [02:42] i want to make sure i have that same processing power in Ubuntu [02:43] lithionlx, I think the kernal SMP did 16 max when I last looked at the SMPcode [02:43] lithionlx, system monitor does see them right? [02:43] yes [02:43] lithionlx, are you running irqbalance ? [02:43] <^Phantom^> Sorry, Bing0 [02:43] no [02:43] <^Phantom^> I'm actually taking off now, to go format that puppy in windows :D [02:43] <^Phantom^> Bye [02:43] lithionlx, read up on it :) [02:43] you could always run your own perf tests.. [02:43] or "i dont know" is more likely the answer [02:43] lithionlx, http://irqbalance.org/ [02:44] * Bing0 playing Urban Terror...bbl [02:44] hello fellows general persistent question.. i generated a casper-rw file on my usb do i have to change anything to load that file on the kernel line BOOT=casper ? [02:44] lithionlx, just run lots of heavy threaded code with bigger than 4K buffers between producers and consumers [02:44] do i have to target the rw file ?

(devved for) [02:45] nytek_: no [02:45] sunshinepants: :( [02:45] when you dual boot ubuntu with windows, do you have to choose which OS to use every time you start up your PC in bios? [02:45] i think irqbalance is right for me [02:45] I install the ubuntu10.10,now I am in KDE,if I remove the gnome.Is my system become Kubuntu? [02:45] hello, everytime when i login the system something happened:"could not find the .ICEauthority file." and i find that the home dir is encrypted and the login password is deferent with the decrypted password . how to decrypted the home dir when i login the system? Or how to change the decrypted password? [02:45] Genieliu, yep [02:45] Genieliu: lol, no. [02:45] i see now that i noobed all over myself with the cpu cores question... [02:46] its threading them all [02:46] nytek_: sorry.. it's not atomic but i recommend running the game's os of choice on another partiiton, and multi booting [02:46] :S [02:46] sunshinepants: i dont have that option. i really dont need it that bad [02:46] sunshinepants, do you have to choose which OS to use every time you start up your PC? [02:46] in bios [02:46] when you dual boot [02:47] !grub2 | Propel [02:47] Propel: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[02:47] sunshinepants, can you make it so that you start ubuntu every time unless you choose otherwise? [02:47] i like ubuntu better than centos [02:48] i use centos5 at work [02:48] loicbidcactus: it's really a nebulous question.. you can set up both dists to work like the other, or very close to one another. [02:48] randy_: It's the website for the Ubuntu China Local Community Team [02:48] was wondering if any one knew if i could get firesheep on my ubuntu 10.04 laptop [02:48] yes [02:48] Propel: yea that is how ubuntu will set up the boot loader if you install over an existing windows drive that has extra space.. [02:48] rww, does it be knowd by ubuntu offical? [02:49] Genieliu: because installing a new window manager doesnt change the distro name [02:49] does any one know how to get firesheep on ubuntu? [02:49] the sound on flash plugin is loud and scratchy although the system sound is perfect, what could be the reason? [02:49] Propel: you also have to choose the option to install alongside existing os's during ubuntu's install.. [02:49] randy_: it's a community-based group that's approved by Ubuntu's Local Community Team Council. [02:50] yeah, i was thinking about installing windows first, and then ubuntu afterwards, but ubuntu having the majority of the HDD [02:51] Propel: that will work well for you.. just give windows 1/2 the disk and then ubuntu will grab the rest of the disk when you install alongside existing os's [02:51] hi there, i got a ubuntu server 10.04 setup. and i bought a ssl cert. apparently i need to setup a CSR. can someone help me? i am not sure what is that or how to do it? [02:52] i have solve my problem! i change my login password! [02:52] sunshinepants, how do you give windows half the disk? do you partition it later after installing it? [02:52] thankx [02:52] as an empty drive, and then installing ubuntu over it? [02:52] .gpart [02:53] where can I get the sources for the latest ubuntu wine ? [02:53] yes you partition the drive [02:53] shrink the windows partition then add a new partion for ubuntu [02:53] rww, but they sell clothers with ubuntu logo,is it illegal? [02:54] thx C3D [02:54] nytek_: So it acts just the same with using the Kubuntu [02:54] Propel: only give windows half the disk during its installation, or you can possibly resize the windows ntfs partition with a gparted live cd 0 http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [02:54] randy_: Depends on the circumstances.

[02:56] nytek_: thx [02:58] i've got a box with a dual boot windows xp x86 and ubuntu x64. the xp os was installed to a raw partition via virtualbox on the ubuntu os. i thought i might want to boot to the xp os natively but i've only done it once.. unless you know you need it i'd just use a normal disk image [02:59] ok, im not smart, how do i upgrade to qt 4.7.1 [03:00] thx sunshinepants [03:00] i didn' tknow you could decide how much windows can take up during the windows installation [03:00] !update [03:00] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [03:00] i didn't know it was that customizable.

I got a USB-Headset but the only way i can edit the soundoutput is via systemsettings and then multimedia -> Phonon and set priority. Is there an easier way to do so?

For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [03:05] smartViking put init 3 in your startup [03:06] is wine for ubuntu from the wine PPA modified for ubuntu in anyway? if so where can I get that modified source code? [03:06] SmartViking: i'm surprised you couldn't find that answer online. do you have your network setup via console as well? i think network manager depends on the desktop session on default ubuntu [03:07] sunshinepants: iwconfig dude [03:07] init 5 starts an x session init 6 shutsdown [03:07] SmartViking: haha right but how many people know that [03:07] ubottu: i will try that [03:07] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:08] init 4 is not defined [03:08] init 1 is bootup [03:08] What is the file that contains the Up arrow on the keyboard? Is it a .bash file? I would like to delete or edit it. [03:08] init 2 i can't remember [03:08] !runlevels [03:08] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [03:08] meh i can't get to grub [03:08] !dogs [03:08] where was the grub config? [03:09] smartViking /etc [03:09] SmartViking: which version? [03:09] on recent: sudo vi /etc/default/grub [03:10] && update-grib [03:10] Windows has a version of the up arrow of the keyboard which remembers what the last entry was but Linux has a log file of all of the keystrokes. [03:10] grub [03:11] sunshinepants: that did it [03:11] "GRUB_DEFAULT" <- what is that variable? [03:11] how do you guys like open office .vs MS office? [03:12] Curly_Q: you're confusing me.. windows has 'doskey' which i think is a really simple app that remembers your buffer and offers it to you via the up arrow.. linux has similar functionality via the shell on most dists.. also accessible via the up arrow. you can also use the 'history' command to view it [03:12] Hi, I am using Linux Mint 10 (based off the ubuntu repositories) and i want to use apt-metalink to speed up my updates [03:12] where can i find a list of mirrored repositories to add to sources.list [03:12] b0tz: Your best bet is #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [03:13] Ive tried. [03:13] Sunshinepants I think you are on the right path. It is a buffer file but it keeps a log file so if you re-boot the sys the log file everytime you hit the up or down arrow or key you can see your entries. [03:13] grub and grub2 config file format is different [03:13] what should i set "quiet splash" to, i dont want the plymouth thing [03:14] https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/apt-metalink read on the bottom there, I am hjust looking for mirrors to add [03:14] Curly_Q: yea.. it's pretty useful if you're doing a lot of exploring [03:14] uh, each time I open my home dir, it opens in movie player. uh... how to fix?

[03:29] my power manager has stopped detecting unplugged/plugged in state... it has worked for a year until recently, what's going on? [03:29] snipe07, depends on how much ram you got. [03:29] ok this is going to sound stupid but...well ive just never had to do this before..is there a simple way to put a dvd into a ubuntu desktop machine and on another desktop machine run that disk? [03:30] I_Vain_I: yes your router in this case maybe you access point [03:30] sam-_-: 4GB [03:30] I_Vain_I: does it have a name? your router/access point? [03:30] The connection name? Yes. [03:31] snipe07, then i wouldn't use swap at all if you don't do anything fancy with your pc. [03:31] I tried to upgrade a computer from Ubuntu 10.04, to 10.10 and now I can't get it to work. it appears the problem is that it is no longer seeing the drive partions. [03:31] I_Vain_I: try sudo iwlist eth1 scanning [03:31] sam-_-: I shouldn't even set up a small amount? I have the space for it [03:32] does running 'grub-mkdevicemap' filx this? [03:32] snipe07, you can but i probably won't make a difference. i have 2 gb ram. no swap. do all the usual stuff. never had a problem. [03:33] I see lots of my partions in /dev/disk/by-id but only one line is in the /boot/grup/device.map file [03:33] snipe07: anything more than 1-2GB of swap is a waste, but you should allocate some to give you some "buffer space", just in case... [03:33] snipe07, if you really have the space then just use like 10gb. [03:33] (I' [03:33] 'm working with a dual boot system) [03:33] rob_p: so 512MB? [03:34] snipe07, btw. are you using the 64-bit or 32-bit version?

I can't figure out whats going on, but I've gone through about 20 discs now with various issues from them not being recognized as inserted to an immediate error and ejection if the project starts. Anyone heard of anything like this? [03:45] dvd+ [03:45] 's work great btw [03:46] could this be a cd-r driver problem or something? or are linux drivers by the drive itself? [03:47] try another batch number on the cd-r disks [03:47] kernalogs: another batch number? You mean go buy others? [03:48] I'm using a Gateway Netbook that I purchased new a year or 2 ago. Ubuntu works great except periodically the graphics fritz out. Can anyone help? I can provide a screenshot if needed. [03:49] they may be lookie like, but worky not like rip offs [03:49] sam-_-: I am trying to but gets there but continues to launch x and gdm and whatnot [03:50] kernalogs: hehe alright... I'm troubleshooting them with another laptop to see if my gf's cpu has any issues with them [03:50] hi guys... im getting apache errors.. that's whgy the wiki's not loading [03:50] twister004: ask in #apache too (or whatever the channel is named) [03:51] kernalogs: hmm... hers is having no problems recognizing the discs... [03:51] my graphics have fritz out completely except this IRC window seems legible mostly [03:51] Can anyone point to a good reference or help me understand the 10.10 (grub2) boot process, especially what I need to fix so my booting process will recognize my drives?) [03:51] this has been happening to me a lot. [03:51] sup [03:51] I'm not even sure what would affect cd-r recognition... Could be my drive I guess right? [03:51] #zentyal [03:51] errors:http://pastebin.com/sQQE5DKD [03:52] TomV-415: recognize your drives? do you mean you have other OS's installed? [03:52] gbear14275: Yes, it's a dual boot configuration, with several partitions. [03:53] TomV-415: which OS is showing up and which isn't? [03:53] my current /boot/grub/device.map is only one line.. but I'm not sure if I should just edit that and if so what format to use [03:53] what the... now it suddenly worked? [03:54] It decided to not launch a display manager [03:54] gbear14275: At the initial grub startup, it shows all OSes (the various kernels of ubuntu and windows), but then when I try to launch ubuntu, after the first screen, it freezes (the dots all go to red) [03:54] TomV-415: hmm... sounds like its not a grub problem [03:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [03:54] gbear14275: Given the error messages during the install, I'm guessing it just cant' find it's own files. [03:54] there's the info you asked for though TomV-415 [03:55] TomV-415: can you boot into single user mode? [03:55] TomV-415: get a root prompt? [03:55] gbear14275: thanks for the info. I can boot via recovery mode to a command line. [03:55] anyone have advise: i was touring appearance themes and now my window buttons are on the right - how can i get them back to the left? [03:56] witeshark: metacity --replace [03:56] gbear14275: so yes, I can got to a root prompt [03:56] TomV-415: ok, then all the new grub2 needs to rebuild itself is a 'update-grub' command run at terminal and it rebuilds itself normally [03:56] xangua, thanks! [03:57] is it possible to add a usb webcam to a laptop with a built in cam? [03:57] Sakr2008: I don't see why not... is it easy? thats another question ;) [03:57] Sakr2008: if the cam is supported [03:57] gbear14275: I'll give that a shot! Thanks.

[04:01] wow: where did you get your BIOS updater? [04:01] gbear14275 from acer...im using aspire 4315 [04:01] why would graphics fritz out and blocks form over text and parts of the screen become illegible?

Was hoping someone in here might know. [04:07] whats ugly looking? [04:07] ) [04:07] it only happens periodically too... and then usually I shutdown/restart . But its been glitching out quicker and quicker.

[04:09] what kinda strange desktop image is that [04:10] lol [04:10] :) [04:10] adam__: "lspci | grep -i nvidia" <-- [04:11] red2kic: done, and returned nothing / no output [04:11] adam__: Meh. Maybe you don't have Nvidia. I'll show you my screenshot -- No fuzzy graphic. :) [04:12] adam__: http://tinyurl.com/2bt6u6r [04:12] Hi all [04:12] adam__: You see how I highlighted nvidia? That's from the second (correct) command. If you see nothing -- well, you got no nvidia, me think. [04:12] How do I solve a BADSIG problem? [04:13] Just built an i3 machine for ubuntu 64 but which sensor out of the 3 is the cpu temp how do I tell ? [04:14] x_: Paste your sensors. We'll try to figure it out? :( [04:15] red2kic: yea, I get no output from lspci | grep -i nvidia :( [04:15] adam__: :( [04:15] your desktop looks nice [04:16] adam try this: lspci | grep -i VGA [04:16] I'll try searching gateway + linux [04:16] maybe it tells us what u have:) [04:16] ah cool, lets see [04:16] red2kic, http://pastebin.com/DLhtY6y9 [04:16] ca [04:16] i dont know... first time i knew of "lspci" command)) [04:16] output!

Will anybody please explain how i get on other irc channels? [04:22] i seem to be an idiot. I'm trying to get sound working, and i realized that everything is muted by default. unmuting in alsamixer made the sound work as expected. after a reboot, no audio now. everything still shows unmuted in alsamixer. any suggestions? blegh [04:22] wow: You want the MSDOS flash -- Not that GUI stuff. Check Acer website for flash bios (in msdos).

How can I take advantage of the extra buttons on my mouse, which apparently in Windows are for "forward" and "back" on the web browser? (They are on the left side of the mouse.) I use Kubuntu 10.04. [04:24] red2kic, seems its a problem in ubuntu [04:24] x_: You ran sensors-detect? [04:24] x_: Something of that command. [04:25] red2kic, yea [04:25] red2kic: msdos flash?? [04:25] holaaa [04:25] red2kic, actually not ubuntu but lm-sensors cant read temp from i3 I guess is what im finding on the internet [04:26] wow: acer aspire 4315 <-- Laptop? Netbook? Desktop? [04:26] akephalos: Not sure why you are having that problem, but I can think of a few suggestions. First one [04:26] akephalos: first one is: mute everything in alsamixer, then unmute. [04:26] i did that, no change [04:27] Hey everyone, I am seeing this error, and the "rough" instructions are given, can someone tell me how do i mount /dev/shm from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3314031/django-celery-implementation-oserror-errno-38-function-not-implemented [04:27] akephalos: Incidentally, why "akephalos"? Like, "I have no head"? [04:27] red2kic: netbook...this is the download site http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_4315.html [04:27] kwtm: exactly, headless [04:29] Is there a way to return an Ubuntu Server Edition install to its out of box state short or reinstalling completely? I'd like to get rid of all the packages I've installed and any modifications I've made and get back to just the virtual machine host so I can start playing with that. [04:29] akephalos: I guess I should change my name to anapaniyseis or something. [04:30] akephalos: Which distro? Ubuntu 10.10? [04:30] so much support with ubuntu, i love it [04:30] fully working macbook pro 2.2 ghz :) [04:30] anyone know how to make an ami from an ubuntu install cd? [04:30] ami? [04:31] I somehow managed to uninstall open office from my system (ubuntu 10.10), and now I can't seem to get it installed (via apt-get or software center), does anyone have any suggestions as to installing it again? [04:31] Bing0, amazon ec2 [04:31] ah [04:31] akephalos: Second: did you unmute all channels? (Sometimes master is unmuted but "PCM" or other channels are muted). Sorry if this is insulting your intelligence but I just want to get the basics out of the way. === david is now known as Guest49641 [04:31] i downloaded john the ripper, but i don't know what to do after that, can some one help me? [04:31] wow: You don't want Winflash folder. You want five files -- BIOS.bat, vv2-116.EXE, VV2-116.WPH, phlash16.exe, ACERACDC.EXE. [04:31] please? [04:31] leif: you could try libre office instead [04:32] wow: And you'll want to EITHER burn a CD or use USB stick -- It is much easier to use USB stick -- so you can see if you got everything on the stick done properly. [04:32] Dakrav, http://www.openwall.com/john/doc/EXAMPLES.shtml [04:32] elint, Mmm...okay, I'll give it a shot [04:32] Leif: ?? You need to give more details. I mean, what happens you install via "sudo apt-get openoffice.org-writer"? Does it say: "ERROR: I am on strike" or what? [04:32] Bing0: thanks [04:32] kwtm: yes, 10.10 [04:33] red2kic: ok...just mount the files into usb, right? [04:33] wow: Nope. [04:33] and i unmuted everything to test, and then remuted, unmutting one by one [04:33] akephalos, what kind of audio device [04:33] im very comfortable with linux, just dont ever do much of the 'desktop' stuff like audio [04:33] Anyone know how to install ubuntu to a fake root? [04:33] i have two, a soundblaster, and a builtin [04:33] kwtm, lol, good point, this is what it says: http://pastebin.com/qizeN9tH [04:33] no sound out of either [04:33] wow: You need to format the USB into FAT16 (and there are filesystem limitation of FAT16 so you might not have room for all files plus FreeDOS. [04:34] guess I can't clean it back up without reinstalling completely, huh? [04:34] akephalos, alsa/pulse audio? [04:34] alsa [04:34] no pulse [04:34] akephalos, aplay -L and pastebin it [04:34] red2kic: fat16??? [04:34] wow: It can be a frustrating experience. I did this for my little netbook. Just saying. I wanted you to be aware of that. Yeah, MSDOS. FAT16. :) [04:34] Bing0, i downloaded the john-1.7.6.tar.gz file, and i don't know what to do with it now, do i have to extract it or something? [04:35] where do i set up my DNS? [04:35] Dakrav, yep tar -zxvf filename [04:35] kwtm, Also, when I try to install those packages manually, it has a similar error of not installing other packages. Usually apt is happy to get all of the dependancies, so maybe it is on strike? ;) [04:35] then read the readme Dakrav [04:35] Leif: Thanks for the pastebin. I see that somehow openoffice.org-core is not going to be installed. We need to see why: is it broken, or somehow there's an authentication issue, or what? So, try "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core" and see what message you get. [04:35] bawn: clic on the network icon and edit your network settings [04:35] Dakrav, FYI this is a ubuntu support channel.. hit their forums for help on that app [04:35] Leif: I see. Okay, let's see the specific error message when you install those packages manually. [04:35] hi, I want to start empathy withing typing the root password, any idea? [04:35] sorry Bing0 [04:35] Leif: Also, try "sudo apt-get -f install" (no package name) and see what happens. [04:36] xangua, nothing about dns there [04:36] kwtm: what would that do? [04:36] wow: You should try FAT32 first though. In my case, I had to use FAT16. [04:36] what would cause 3 different mouses to not work on 3 distros? [04:36] mbvpixies78, usb ? [04:36] xangua, nvm [04:36] Bing0: say more please [04:36] mbvpixies78, usb mice ? [04:36] kwtm, Okay, first this sudo apt-get install -f: ng0> mbvpixies78, usb mice ? [04:37] how do you get the clamav ppa with the .5 version added to sources? [04:37] kwtm, erm: http://pastebin.com/KpetPhrq [04:37] yea for clipboard issues. [04:37] mbvpixies78: a broken computer? [04:37] akephalos: Not sure what else to do .. was hoping to fill in time while other people jumped in to help ... trying to remember what else I tried when my computer decided to shut up... [04:37] mbvpixies78: A broken wrist? [04:37] It's a PS/2 [04:37] red2kic: after i have formatted to fat32...what else to do? [04:37] I did try a USB one too [04:38] kwtm, Here is sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core: http://pastebin.com/2qRhrfjk [04:38] aplay -L pastebin: http://pastebin.com/imhBHpUs [04:38] Leif: Okay, so apt-get -f install is not working ... somehow it has decided that you/it does not want to upgrade. Okay, that most recent pastebin of yours may have the answer... let's take a look... [04:38] ktwm: but when I do ure, it tells me it's already installed [04:38] kwtm, Okay [04:39] kwtm, Or more specifically, it says: http://pastebin.com/AN4d88cw [04:39] hi all, im using debian w/an nvidia driver on a TV. I've confirmed the resolution is correct, but the mouse cursor & maximized windows go off screen. [04:39] akephalos, so were these cards working or? [04:39] Leif: What the... okay, now it looks like "apt-get" is trying to get into a pissing contest with us, so let's do "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-common" and see what excuse it uses for not installing *that*. [04:40] nichos: shouldn't you be asking in #debian ? [04:40] okay, one moment [04:40] akephalos, working and then just stopped like give more details [04:40] ? [04:40] we're talking 2 different motherboards...?? [04:41] Somebody help Leif out here ... how does he verify what version of "ure" has been installed? (And what *is* "ure" anyway? Is that the second half of "man"?) [04:41] kwtm, Okay: http://pastebin.com/P0EDsSbD [04:41] mmm....no manual entry for ure :( [04:41] Leif, kwtm: apt-cache policy ure [04:42] ok, so it is a fresh install, and audio wasnt working. realized it was just a muting problem. ran alsamixer and unmuted master and other relevant items. audio worked as expected. after a reboot, no sound, but the settings in alsamixer show the devices unmuted still [04:42] ure is the UNO Runtime Environment. UNO is an OpenOffice.org thing, stands for Universal Network Objects. [04:42] rwlove, kwtm Thanks: http://pastebin.com/FuVkXp4V [04:42] OK... I've got my sound fixed, thanks to sam-_- [04:43] wow: Follow the guide from the link I posted earlier. [04:43] he spent 3 hours helping me... [04:43] and I just wanna say thanks :) [04:43] perhaps if I uninstall and reinstall it? [04:43] rww: Okay. Maybe I should have run the "man ure" command, but I would have been too busy rolling on the floor laughing to read the output. [04:43] Leif: have you purged, if it's an option? $ sudo apt-get purge "openoffice*.*" [04:43] now I have a new problem [04:43] Leif: Looks like you added the libreoffice PPA. That PPA contains testing packages, and is rather unsupported. [04:43] christhecoolboy, would have been one hour if i trusted your advice :-) [04:43] yeah lol [04:44] Is there a way to uninstall everything and get back to the base ubuntu server install without reinstalling from scratch? [04:44] akephalos, try restarting alsa [04:44] rww, Ah, okay, so do I need to remove the PPA and re-install? [04:44] christhecoolboy: i had a 3 hour session, that turned into a few days - but the end result we got it working [04:44] my new problem: when I had windows I had stereo mix on my PC, how do I get it to work now? [04:44] How do I figure out what provides aes.h? [04:44] Leif: i think that command alone should remove all of openoffice, and leave you ready for a new ppa [04:45] Leif: elint has a good suggesting of purging. SOmehow you've got a broken package. Let's have you try that now before we keep chasing the "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-style" [04:45] x_ is that an init.d script to restart alsa? [04:45] ez2hate: sometimes the way forward is taking a step back. re-installing might be your easy route [04:45] Leif: I'd install ppa-purge and use it to remove the libreoffice PPA. I haven't been following your conversation, though, so I don't know if installing more packages is feasible at this point, so I'll defer to kwtm ;) [04:45] elint, kwtm Okay, purging now [04:45] akephalos, well im on 10.10 and sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart is what they say to use but that doesn't work for me I must admit. but Since I use pulse audio I just kill pulse and restart it. [04:46] weird, the only init.d script i see relating to alsa is alsa-mixer-save [04:46] is there a wiki on Sound or Installiation? [04:46] rww, Okay, thanks I'm doing that now [04:46] mawst, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=aes.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=maverick&arch=any [04:46] I think it should be edited... [04:46] how can I get this version installed on 10.10? clamav 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.10.1 [04:46] Is Ubuntu 10.4 better than 10.10? [04:46] Leif: I think rww has a point --I wouldn't try libreoffice yet right now. Did you just install the repository right now when elint suggested, or did you have that before? Ie. is it a feasible cause of your problem? [04:46] hanasaki: easy way would be to use synaptic [04:47] Is there an easy way to quickly log off another user who has logged on using "switch user"? [04:47] kwtm, I've actually had it for a few weeks, although I never used it, so it may be the cause of the problem. [04:47] Blue1: its not in the regular repositories.. something about ppa? [04:47] akephalos, yea I had to fight to get my hdmi audio to work, and like I said I have that same problem as you. [04:47] NickyTT: ubuntu 10.04 was an lts (long term support) release. 10.10 wasn't. depends on what you need. [04:47] I think that a wiki article on wiki.ubuntu.com should be changed [04:47] NickyTT, no. but it isn't worse either [04:47] (I actually had them both installed for a while) [04:47] (assuming I have administrator privledges) [04:47] !alsa [04:47] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [04:47] NickyTT: Different opinions. I am conservative and don't want to spend time fixing things, so I use 10.04. My own suggestion is: 10.04 unless you know you need something that's not in 10.04, and then upgrade. [04:47] hanasaki: you can add the ppa to synaptic [04:47] j [04:47] thanks sam [04:47] NickyTT: The version *after* a LTS version tends to be more experimental than usual. [04:47] AHA [04:47] !clamav | hanasaki [04:48] !info clamav | hanasaki [04:48] hanasaki: clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.10.1 (maverick), package size 321 kB, installed size 592 kB === JanC_ is now known as JanC [04:48] So I predict that there are differing opinions on this subject... I just opened a can of worms I predict... [04:48] NickyTT: kwtm advise is the route I would go [04:48] any sed gurus here? [04:48] rww, BTW, is ppa-purge an actual command (as it's not in my path), or should I just use the gui tools to remove it from my sources (what I usually do)? [04:48] 10.4 was the last LTS release? [04:48] could some1 edit that please? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [04:48] NickyTT: yes [04:48] I think I can see why. [04:49] theres something that I think should be put on that wiki [04:49] NickyTT: I don't think you'll see us fighting over it. We'll all say it depends on what you need. I use Kubuntu, which ... I guess a polite way of putting it is that it does not suck as much as it used to, so I'm sticking with the LTS version to make sure nothing's broken. [04:49] !itsawiki | christhecoolboy [04:49] christhecoolboy: It's a wiki, *you* can edit it [04:49] xangua: that is exactly the one I want - the .3 version does not seem to scan RAR files... but how to add the repository? [04:49] Leif: it's a command, in a package that isn't installed by default. Using the GUI tools is an option, but won't downgrade any packages you installed from the PPA to the Ubuntu repository versions. [04:49] !info ppa-purge [04:49] ppa-purge (source: ppa-purge): disables a PPA and reverts to official packages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.7.1+bzr53 (maverick), package size 5 kB, installed size 56 kB [04:49] Leif: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge ; and to uninstall a ppa and packages it provides: sudo ppa-purge "ppa's name" [04:49] hanasaki: already is [04:49] akephalos, im wondering if sound was broken by an update in 10.10 recently [04:49] xangua: huh? [04:49] Are there a lot of programs included with Kubuntu? Does it work just like Ubuntu? What's the advantage? [04:49] xangua, rww: Very useful info on ppa-purge. Thanks. [04:50] it needs to be placed at multiple places, rww [04:50] apt-show-versions clamav [04:50] clamav/maverick-security uptodate 0.96.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1.2 [04:50] xangua, rww thanks [04:50] xangua: not .5 [04:50] NickyTT: it's a personal preference [04:50] hello [04:51] NickyTT: Again different opinions. There's a matter of "how is KDE" theoretically, and practically. At this point, if you could go either way, you'll probably have a better experience with (GNOME) Ubuntu. [04:51] can someone help me with configuring a sftp server for internal networks only ? [04:51] NickyTT: They're different desktop environments; one isn't objectively better than the other. If you feel like experimenting, try both. If not, go with Ubuntu, since more people use it. [04:51] yeah. i think just installing a xwindowing system might have to happen to get the sound working [04:52] lwizardl: sftp uses ssh. you will have to limit the ssh connections to limit sftp (afaik) [04:52] christhecoolboy: so...? [04:52] I have http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clamav/ppa/ubuntu in my synaptic however it only finds ...3 not ....5 [04:52] I dont know how to put it around the site [04:52] akephalos, you said a fresh install of 10.10 doesnt pulse audio come with 10.10...? [04:52] this is a very Important thing [04:53] I'm currently using a version of Ubuntu that isn't supported by you guys, so I fear to even mention it. [04:53] rww, elint kwtm okay, purged, I'm going to try a clean install now [04:53] Leif: Tell us how it goes, ok? Would love to know. From your output, it looks just like a broken package: very unlikely with Ubuntu repositories, but the libreoffice repository explains it. [04:53] x_ if it does, i am not aware of it.. or what pulse even does [04:53] akephalos, yeah I have the openssh installed on the system and also vsftp but thats about all I know. I never setup a linux ftp/sftp server before. [04:53] akephalos, ps -ef | grep pulseaudio [04:53] nothin [04:53] NickyTT: well, you can mention it --we won't hold it against you. But if it's too out of date, you might think about a clean install. [04:53] NickyTT: as in, an old one that isn't supported any more? [04:53] NickyTT: I'll tell you what I usually do, if you're interested. [04:54] NickyTT: if so, I'd go with 10.04, since that way you don't need to worry about upgrading as often ;) [04:54] akephalos, id look up how to install pulseaudio then. or try starting it maybe you have it. pulseaudio -D [04:54] kwtm, Excitement, well it's happily downloading everything, so I bet it will work fine, I'll let you know if it works when it finishes, thank you. [04:54] NickyTT: Disclaimer: if you say you use Microsoft Ubuntu, we *will* hold it against you. :) [04:54] kwtm, lol [04:54] Haha [04:54] I use 10.4 SuperOS [04:55] Because I found there is no grub screen. [04:55] But there is a weird grub screen on 10.10 that wasn't there before. [04:55] Blue1: I was afraid of that... guess I'll be using virtual machines to play from now on... :) [04:55] So I'm thinking - screw this, I'm going back to 10.4 [04:55] [I don't want to waste 10 seconds of my life every time i reboot this thing [04:55] NickyTT, lol [04:55] NickyTT: unsurprisingly, I recommend you go to Ubuntu 10.04, not SuperOS 10.04 ;P [04:55] xangua: do you mean the .5 version is already in the main? [04:55] How do I solve a BADSIG problem? [04:55] NickyTT you left before we could finish helping you [04:55] hanasaki: if you are using maverick [04:56] NickyTT, you have to run "sudo update-grub" [04:56] And I know there's probably a way to disable that screen, but the time it would take to invest in finding a solution, I could have reinstalled 10.04 about 5 times. [04:56] xangua: it looks like .3 not .5 [04:56] NickyTT, it takes literally 30 seconds [04:56] apt-show-versions -a clamav [04:56] clamav 0.96.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1.2 install ok installed [04:56] clamav 0.96.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1 maverick archive.ubuntu.com [04:56] clamav 0.96.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1.2 maverick-security archive.ubuntu.com [04:56] clamav/maverick-security uptodate 0.96.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1.2 [04:56] hanasaki: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:56] lwizardl: Btw, off topic for just one moment: did you see that hilarious CollegeHumor.com video that says: "Now you can google with Bing! Use Bing to google for restauraunts, or google for websites..." basically using "google" as a generic verb everywhere while purportedly promoting Bing. LOL [04:56] hanasaki: then update [04:56] xangua: I have [04:56] kwtm: #ubuntu-offtopic for offtopic stuff [04:56] rww, unless he has very new hardware. then it might be better to stick with maverick, don't you think? [04:56] rww: aww, I *knew* I was going to be Microsofted for going off topic! [04:56] xangua: please paste me the output of your pt-show-versions -a clamav === Faithless is now known as Sorrowful [04:56] hanasaki: i use lucid [04:56] kwtm, Well, it worked, but the graphics are really ugly now... Oo, is their two different copies of open office in the repos? [04:57] I found a possible fix for something, rww [04:57] kwtm, nope I have not seen that, but I avoid bing like a plague ( I do the same with all MS other then xbox) [04:57] you do know grub has a timeout, yes/ [04:57] sam-_-: They just said that 10.04 worked, and I very rarely see hardware that's new enough that 10.04 doesn't support it. [04:57] Leif: ?? I don't think so ... I have v3.2 in Lucid. [04:57] kwtm, The command I typed is sudo apt-get install openoffice [04:57] 35% done and I didn't have to open up any consoles or anything. Didn't have to use my brain [04:57] xangua: check this page .. its not in maverick https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-clamav/+archive/ppa [04:57] rww, ah. y, ok. [04:57] Leif: You mean "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org", right? If you want to be safe, do "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer" [04:57] kwtm, That's what I have, it actually looks a lot like swing... [04:58] kwtm, erm, yes openoffice.org, trying ...-writer now.. [04:58] yes, it's installed [04:58] hey room [04:59] ActionParsnip, I got my sound thing fixed [04:59] thanks to sam-_- [04:59] anyone from the ubuntu dev team? [04:59] To anyone currently using their SMB -- Care to paste your /etc/samba/smb.conf? Thanks in advance. :) [05:00] sam-_-, I sent u a PM! [05:01] This is what I am trying to do maybe there is a better way to do this. I want to take my old pc and use it for a temporary storage box so I can pull the files from these old hard drives I have. I have like 6 160GB internals I am trying to get the data from these onto my new 1TB drive and then format the 160GB drives [05:01] red2kic: cannot downloa fdoem...btw, can i just follow this method http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-usb-stick.htm using my other pc(windows)...then boot it in my aspire 4315(linux) [05:01] happygilmoregent: If you describe your issue, I can figure out which channel you need to go to... [05:02] wow: See the User-comments about 8GB flash? It's FAT116 issues. [05:02] how do you add a directory as a repository? [05:03] It is ripped directly from the install cd [05:03] wow: You could try -- but meh. We're talking about bios here. I have no clue how accurate that website is. You could try, I guess. [05:03] wow: The main issue is trying to put all files in at once. Go ahead and try. [05:04] rww, I think i've found a helpful solution to a problem [05:04] red2kic: owh...if i follow your method...where can i get fdoem....? [05:04] red2kic: the link is dead... [05:04] wow: It's not my method -- but I can confirm that method worked for me. I advise on what I know. There are other link below. [05:05] wow: The one attached with the article. [05:06] red2kic: yup... [05:06] I have found a fix to something [05:06] where do I put it? [05:07] On ubuntu, if you install Steam in wine, can you download and install windows games like normal??? [05:07] * semitones hopes that this is the universe in which that is possible [05:08] semitones, Wine isnt really that stable [05:08] semitones: before check wine hq [05:08] well it works for me) [05:08] not everything workswith it === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [05:08] christhecoolboy, what did you fix [05:08] i'll check appdb [05:08] tested l4d2 and serious sam 1 classic [05:08] i want to do ALtitude [05:09] dotblank, I found a fix for MSI AE2020 computers and possibly any PC with the soundcard [05:09] and recettear [05:09] semitones: get winetricks too [05:09] Leif: Well ... hope you're not too disappointed. I actually ended up using AbiWord for *some* stuff, but not all. When I have to generate a document reliably with reliable appearance, I use Openoffice.org; when I have to open someone else's document quickly, I use AbiWord. [05:09] kk [05:09] well steam is on platinum list and i give it 9/10 [05:09] almost perfect [05:09] semitones: Last I heard on Slashdot (over a year ago), Steam didn't work that well on Wine. Other people might have a more up-to-date answer for you. [05:09] ok [05:09] kwtm, Yup, thanks. It seems to have all of the functionallity, and is only missing the theming...it makes me think there is another package for it. [05:10] kwtm, i hear several steam games are working ok [05:10] christhecoolboy, should make a wiki page about it on ubuntu or submit bugreports and patches to the respect projects [05:10] kwtm, altitude got a platinum rating on appdb, so i hope things have turned around [05:10] red2kic: fat(default) is fat16 right? [05:10] MadVector: It do not nessesary apply to all its games [05:10] Bing0: Oh, really? I thought Steam itself (ie. the process for installing games) was wonky, but it looks like you have better news. [05:10] wow: Yes. [05:10] dotblank, I'm new here [05:10] ive no testimonials but read others have good success w/steam and wine [05:11] how do I do that? :~( [05:11] i know [05:11] kwtm, Got it!!! I needed to install openoffice.org-gnome, now it works perfectly, thank you for your help [05:11] i give 4/10 to wine for its games support :) [05:11] Leif: Nice work! And how did you know you needed to install openoffice.org-gnome? I would never have known. === fran is now known as Guest72565 [05:12] christhecoolboy, well what exactly did you fix? a dev script a acpi event? [05:12] but l4d2 for example is 9/10 for me [05:12] udev* [05:12] can I PM you? [05:12] sure [05:12] is there a web page that lets you lookup packages and their versions for a specific ubuntu release? 10.10 [05:12] kwtm, I just typed sudo apt-get install openoffice.org- and tab completed to see the list of available packages, openoffice.org-gnome looked fairly logical, so I took a guess, and it turned out to be right. (I'm saying I got lucky) [05:13] MadVector: but cs works! (btw 1.6 and souce ate 2 most playable on line - according to steam stats) [05:13] !packages | hanasaki [05:13] hanasaki: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Adept, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! [05:13] hanasaki: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [05:14] thanks === RogueShadow_ is now known as RogueShadow === DealingWithFools is now known as lap_dragon [05:17] so then the issue is the drive tray [05:19] do you know the difference between aptitude and apt-get ? [05:19] they both are the software install tool [05:20] how do i burn avchds without buying nero? [05:20] hi [05:21] Okay, so after helping some people, I am going to ask my question again. [05:21] hello [05:21] gzm, aptitude is a gui. apt isn't [05:21] How do I get my (k)Ubuntu 10.04 system to recognize the extra buttons on my mouse that Microsoft said should be on all mice? They are on the left side and apparently do "forward" and "backward" on the web browser. How can I use these buttons? [05:22] thanks. but when in process of install snort, it requires libdnet. I used apt-get to install but snort can not find it, but use aptitude , snort can sucesssfully find it and can continue. [05:22] kwtm, they are probably recognized. try: xev to find out [05:22] grkblood13_: What is avchds? Do you mean you want to burn DVD's and CD's? I use K3b; apparently in standard GNOME Ubuntu, Brasero is the program. [05:23] sam-_-: Good idea. Will try. [05:23] no avchds [05:23] i dont know why ubuntu hasnt picked up on this yet [05:23] its been aroudn for a while [05:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo: "If all devices listed say "no wireless extensions." then your wireless card is not configured." What is a »wireless extension«? 'man iwconfig' does not tell. [05:25] kwtm, then you will just have to configure your brower. not sure how though. [05:26] sam-_-: Okay. I've confirmed that it works. I'm actually looking for how to configure KDE to recognize the button, but I guess it's more for the Kubuntu channel.., [05:26] unless any knows KDE here... [05:26] any experience with a video editor. one that can do superimpositions? handle greenscreen...? [05:26] kwtm, no. have you tried googling. don't hit me now :-) [05:27] Question: Hardinfo, Benchmarks. Anyone know where I can get more information on the results? [05:28] tripelb, i believe you won't be happy with linux since i think there are no decent video editors. disclaimer: i could be wrong === lap_dragon is now known as DealingWithFools [05:28] is it possible to not give read permissions to a file [05:29] abhinav_singh: Yes. [05:29] abhinav_singh: yes, 333? === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [05:32] abhinav_singh: chmod +r filename will give read access to a file (or folder) === blaize0 is now known as blaize [05:33] abhinav_singh: I think what ActionParsnip is trying to say is, "chmod -r filename" will take away read permissions for a file/folder. [05:33] !shortcuts | kwtm [05:33] kwtm: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [05:33] ActionParsnip: Uh oh. Can you do that !shortcuts | kwtm thing for Kubuntu? [05:33] kwtm: you can assign them like shortcuts that way, should be fine. As long as they make event in xev then they can be used [05:33] kwtm: same deal as far as I know [05:34] ActionParsnip: THere is no "system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts" in KDE. [05:34] kwtm: then it'll be in the kontrol-centre or whatever kde uses. Think outside the box [05:35] ActionParsnip: Thanks. I did check that. Will continue to seek input from any users more familiar with KDE. Thanks. [05:36] hey [05:36] does anyone here run antivirus on ubuntu?

[05:37] ActionParsnip: so true [05:37] gamax92: so the answer is "all and none" [05:38] ActionParsnip: lots of things i did in ubuntu i had to compile my self [05:38] gamax92: Ham sandwitch is better than Eternal Happiness, so maybe it is the best. [05:38] Thanks for all help, all! Especially sam-_- [05:38] gamax92: what have you compiled? [05:38] shcherbak: can i have both? [05:39] ActionParsnip: all the window managers [05:39] gamax92: there are tonnes of WMs in the repos [05:39] ActionParsnip: except kde [05:39] ActionParsnip: im not on the internet [05:39] .... [05:40] gamax92: then grab the alternate DVD ISO and you can use it as a repo [05:40] ActionParsnip: im using a different computer right now [05:40] gamax92: and you can install things using binaries [05:40] ActionParsnip: besides this was a long time ago [05:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo: "If all devices listed say "no wireless extensions." then your wireless card is not configured." What is a »wireless extension«? 'man iwconfig' does not tell.

I can't seem to find any additional drivers to load at boot time. Ideas? [05:41] gamax92: Wise, very wise, Luke. [05:42] leed-home: do the non-ssd devices attach to the same controller as the ssds? [05:42] bullgard4: Wireless extention? [05:42] no [05:43] ActionParsnip: No I don't think so, there is a 3gb/s controller that the traditional drives attach to and there is a 2nd bios I see for the ssd 6gb/s drives. winblows sees them ok :-/ [05:44] leed-home: if you run: dmesg | less and read the boot, does it see the drives? (use cursor to scroll down) [05:44] yea i did that; it only sees the 3gb/s drives [05:44] i need drivers for the 6gb/s controller i think [05:44] but i cant seem to find any for the rampage iii extremem mobo [05:44] Can anyone help me troubleshoot the low FPS on World Of Warcraft?

[05:45] leed-home: possibly, if you run: lspci you will see the chip the controllers use and can then (maybe) find guides for how to get them setup, you may just need to disable acpi and it works but the guides will help you [05:46] shcherbak yes, why?

[05:47] ravibn: install and run cheese, do you see yourself [05:47] lsb_release? uname -a? [05:47] illuminaris: linux uses completely different drivers [05:48] ActionParsnip, I have cheese installed it does not work [05:48] illuminaris: so no, in windows it will run on unichrome video cards but in Linux those cards do not perform any 3D rendering [05:48] ActionParsnip I'm aware of that, that's not the point.... [05:48] ActionParsnip, It use to work 10.04 [05:48] illuminaris: your release is also offtopic here, it is supported in #ubuntu+1 [05:48] ActionParsnip: ah thx ill give that a try... is a marvell controller [05:49] ravibn: if you run: lsusb you will get the 8 character hex ID for the device, you can then use it to find guides [05:49] illuminaris, it's an old card that isn't supported by the proprietary driver anymore. it's possible that the open source driver will not give you maximum performance [05:49] ActionParsnip, what guides ? [05:49] sam-_-: s/he's gone :) [05:49] ravibn: online, the ID will give guides [05:50] ActionParsnip, you mean google it [05:50] ravibn: if youo want to use google, thats fine. Or you can use any of the other search engines around [05:51] * ActionParsnip hates the term "google it" === neoh- is now known as neoh [05:53] ActionParsnip, how about "bing it", better? [05:54] sam-_-: I use "websearch" It doesn't tell the user which search engine to use so gives choice, just like the OS they are using [05:54] * sam-_- will use this too in the future [05:54] sam-_-: your choice dude [05:54] hi i need help using a portable hdd in ubuntu AND windows [05:55] ActionParsnip, one of the guide said I need to install gspca driver and then Video4linux [05:55] Zeu5: what kind of help [05:55] initially it is working. but after transferring files in windows and ubuntu enviro [05:55] How to create .Xauthority file ?? [05:55] nirazio: with editor [05:55] the hdd is now no longer mountable in ubuntu... sometimes the same thing happens in windows too [05:55] ActionParsnip, can you pl. guide me installing this drivers [05:55] gobbe, so i need help in ensuring in future this does not happen. what shd i do? [05:56] Zeu5: was the windows system a seperate computer? [05:56] Zeu5: what is the filesystem? [05:56] ActionParsnip, same computer [05:56] ravibn: i believe gspca is part of a stock install [05:56] the filesystem of the external portable hdd is NTFS [05:56] Zeu5: ok and did you detach the drive from the system? [05:56] nad its a USB 2.0 [05:56] hi [05:56] i want to install cron on my machine [05:56] ruby_on_tails: its already installed [05:56] ruby_on_tails: cron is installed by default [05:56] ok [05:56] but [05:57] ActionParsnip, can you elaborate on that pl [05:57] ActionParsnip, i do not understand what you mean by detach the drive. its external hdd [05:57] if i set it to run a script every 5 mins will the script execute if i turn off my machine ? [05:57] Hi I'm trying to SSH to my server without a password (for rsync). I ran "sudo ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f /home/Flam/cron/a-rsync-key" on Ubuntu 10.04 and got the .pub file and the private key, then I did "sudo cat a-rsync-key.pub >>.ssh/authorized_keys" on the remote host. Now I'm stumped :P Some guidance as to what to do next would be appreciated. Also, where do I put the private key? [05:57] and [05:57] after restart will the cron work ? [05:57] Zeu5: if you just unplug the drive without proper "ejecting" filesystem might mess up [05:57] gobbe, i may have done that previously. so what shd i do? [05:57] ruby_on_tails: anacron runs missed crons [05:57] Zeu5: youo can unplug the drive from the system by grabbing the usb cable and pulling it out of the port, thhis is "detaching" the drive as it is then a seperate device. Has this happened? [05:58] gobbe, i now have 2 external hdd. 1 is the troubled one. and the other is 1 i just bought 5 mins ago from a hardware store. [05:58] Zeu5: when you remove drive you unmount/eject it to avoid messing up filesystem [05:58] gobbe: i want the cron to run when my machine is on and then trn off with the machine and then work only when my machine is restareted i dont want it to work on the missed ones [05:58] i want to preserve the files inside the first hdd. and at the same time frn now onwards, eliminate such problems in future [05:58] Zeu5: the healthy new drive is of no interest as it is not at fault [05:59] Zeu5: are you going to answer the question......? [05:59] right now the external hdd is detached [05:59] ruby_on_tails: if you add it */5 it will run every 5 minutes when computer is on === yen-thao is now known as y-t [05:59] ActionParsnip, sorry the external hdd is now detached [05:59] gobbe: ok cool [05:59] thanks [05:59] Zeu5: ok, what steps did you go through to detach the drive? [05:59] first i plugged it in [05:59] then i tried to manually mount it by clicking the icon/ [05:59] i get an error taht says inconsistent NTFS [05:59] yes [06:00] that's what happens if you remove it without proper way [06:00] ActionParsnip , lsusb gave me this "0c45:613c Microdia PC Camera (SN9C120)" [06:00] Zeu5: no, how did you detach the device, not plug it in. Last time it was removed what steps did you take to remove it [06:00] so i checked again. it is not mounted and just detach [06:00] * i just unplugged it [06:00] Zeu5: is the "detach" in your case just remove cable from computer? [06:00] yep [06:00] Zeu5: ok, when it last mounted ok, how was it removed [06:00] Zeu5: that's not proper way [06:00] Zeu5: you are mistreating your hardware [06:01] Zeu5: you need to unmount/eject it from operating system (same in windows and linux) [06:01] okie 1 at a time. ActionParsnip i cannot remember the last time how i did it. i have procrastinated this issue for some time so today i can devote some time to resolve it [06:01] Zeu5: you MUST use the safetly eject hardware facility in nautilus so the filesystem can be synced and caches can be flushed [06:01] gobbe, yes so i want to learn the proper way [06:01] How to selectively remove decoration in metacity? [06:01] Zeu5: ok, i'll let ActionParsnip to help you, it's easier [06:01] gobbe, thank you :) [06:02] ActionParsnip, okie so wat do i do now? i probably need to format this external hdd yes? [06:02] Zeu5: I suggest you plug the device into a windows PC and chkdsk the partition, then use the safetly remove feature in windows (bottom right tray near the time) and then it will be fine.

The problem is sometimes it detects as modem and get connected with good stability and sometimes altogether it rejects saying there is no such thing called modem [06:17] if you watch those 2 vids you will see [06:17] bluezone, the man page will tell you more [06:18] the man page for what, sam-_- [06:18] ActionParsnip: I could do that. But it would not help me. My question is another one: I'd like to know what people mean by a "wireless extension". [06:18] sam-_-: parted?

I don't use hdmi [06:24] ActionParsnip ok thank you for your time and help :) [06:24] White-Horse: the hwinfo will tell you what res the fb driver can do on your hardware config, you should then choose one and apply it to the rest of the guide when a resolution is mentioned [06:25] Hi all.

[07:23] magn3ts: find a player that can mute one channel. and slow down playback, then run it twice. :) one for channel 1, one for channel 2 thats slower. [07:23] magn3ts, that's kind of tough to pull off without altering the frequencies of the sound [07:23] shcherbak: I have not tried alternative [07:23] magn3ts: now why you want to do this... ive no idea... [07:23] zetheroo: it maybe faster to 9.10 -> 10.04 [07:24] ox3a, you are gonna have so many wierd problems, not critical ones but frustrating ones. trust me i did this too. [07:24] Dr_Willis, I thoguht of that, but that seems rather inelegant [07:24] lucid appears to crash when i attempt to install sun-java6-jre. is this a known problem ? [07:24] shcherbak: however if it don't run off the CD then it will very likely be a headache once it is installed [07:24] hey guys i have a problem with my wireless network, by mistake i disconnected the network im currently logged in, and now it dosen;'t wanna reconnect, until i had to restart my computer for it to work again [07:24] shcherbak: you mean install 9.10 and update to 10.04? [07:24] zetheroo: yes [07:24] ox3a, i wouldnt change to a kde session if i were you... least not without making a new user to run it [07:24] The question of why is silly to explain. :P [07:25] magn3ts: one more, full combain: Audiacity [07:25] oxox3 try sudo dpkg-recofigure gdm and choose kde ....see if that remedies the issue [07:25] Mmm [07:25] Hi all :) [07:25] XiaolinDraconis, I need only KDE so i removed GDM [07:26] XiaolinDraconis, Just i need to disable the default Ubuntu boot screen/splash [07:26] magn3ts: vlc have also capability to slower things, but you need, as said, also two players. [07:26] ox3a, that works though i use kdm with a gnome session [07:26] ox3a, sorry that was suppose to be sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [07:26] morning all [07:27] ox3a: install kdm, and make it default. [07:27] ox3a, are u referring to plymouth? the loading screen after grub? [07:27] afternoon lazarus_ [07:27] what version of java is best to use on Lucid?

[07:28] sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" [07:28] beginer, lazarus_ only in the land of the queen :-) [07:28] XiaolinDraconis, It would be better for me if i can disable boot logo/screen/splash and detault will be the kde splash [07:28] hangs the whole system? ouch!

[07:29] hi, I am trying to get my ubuntu box to broadcast its hostname, but I have exhausted my abilities - I have edited my /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to have 'send host-name "tv";', but ping tv from remote machines fails, any suggestions?

I'd love to know what the answer is. [07:29] lazarus_, i know... [07:30] me too [07:30] ox3a, is it the loading screen immediately after grub or is it after login [07:30] Dr_Willis: this might be a little harder than I thought... Can I do ICS through my modem port? as in using my modem port to link two computers one of which is connected to the internet (either by ethernet or wireless)? [07:30] Dose any one know how good ubuntu 10.10 is with old computers????? Such as a HP Pentium 4 with 128MB RAM ???? [07:30] i need a prime generator, is it in? [07:30] Eagle, NO [07:30] jaysern, how do you install it? ubuntu-software center?

Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. [07:31] sam-_- no, aptitude install [07:31] Eagle, linux is not usable under 512 MB of ram [07:31] i only have SSH access [07:31] Good day. Excuse me, could you help me. I'm using OpenWRT. And something like this: "tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: tfsc 40" gives error "RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory" [07:31] see that's not helpful, thats the default config. >_< [07:31] Eagle, you won't have fun with 128mb ram. [07:31] r3in: sorry... dropped myself off the net on accident... wasn't sure if you said anything after I explained [07:31] Eagle, at least not with gnome [07:31] my router sees cole-ubuntu-desktop > 192.168.1.100 but no windows machines do :( [07:31] Eagle, well.. what is on that system right now? [07:31] excuse me im using blckbuntu os but i dont know a lot of thigs some tips? [07:32] jaysern, did you try apt-get? [07:32] does ssh has utility to generating primes? [07:32] or any otehr ubuntu [ackage? [07:32] sam-_-: isn't aptitude better ? is there a difference? [07:32] [07:32] gbear14275: ive had this setup in the past - internet -> dialup modem -> PC1 gateway --LAN --> rest of the PC's [07:32] coz_: What do you want to know about it? [07:32] ? [07:32] XiaolinDraconis, OK explain: When i start/power on my PC it show Ubuntu screen and after login showing kde splash [07:32] Eagle, no I asked what is on that system right now? what do you have running? [07:32] jaysern, i think aptitude use apt. [07:33] Eagle: more ram would help that pc out greately.. and Lubuntu should run on it ok. [07:33] Lint01: primes [07:33] ox3a, ok so its a plymouth splash [07:33] jaysern, not better no. they are entirely different. aptitude is a gui. [07:33] jaysern, apt is not [07:33] but i've been using aptitude this entire time over my SSH [07:33] jaysern, they use same apt library, but they are both bad [07:34] Dr_Willis: ok what I'm wondering if possible is this: Internet --> PC1 gateway (wireless/ethernet) --> PC2 via modem port [07:34] XiaolinDraconis, Oh i see. What to change there ? [07:34] [07:34] coz_: Linux Mint. [07:34] ok, so how do i install java on lucid ? [07:34] Eagle, ok ... does it run well ? [07:34] jaysern, i just thought apt-get may give you an error message or you can see what is going on+ [07:34] ox3a, http://ubuntuguide.net/howto-change-plymouth-themes-initial-splash-screen-in-ubuntu-10-04 [07:34] sam-_-: i'm reoobting the machine because it looks like it crashed miserably [07:34] i will bring it back up and try again with apt [07:35] [07:35] coz_: Its fair. But im not used to Mint. [07:35] gbear14275: you can set up 2 pc's with modems to dial into each other yes.. [07:35] gbear14275: i recall a 'isp howto' at the tldp.org site years ago [07:36] Eagle, oh ok... yeah mint is a paint in the rear ...my opinion... as Dr_Willis mentioned ... lubuntu should work fairly well on that system but it is lxde as the desktop envrionment... not gnome... [07:36] Dr_Willis: ok... I'll try to look there. What is the proper term for connecting 2 PC's via the modem port? Direct connection? or... is there a term? (looking for google hits) [07:36] gbear14275: no idea. I just recall seeing the info about it years ago in some 'make your own dial up isp' guides [07:37] hmm [07:37] I dont even have home phones any more to even do that. :) [07:37] coz_: Its just for searching the net really. [07:37] XiaolinDraconis, What if i delete /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth ? [07:38] ok, so i run apt-get install and get this error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [07:38] and when i run dpkg --configure -a it crashes the machine [07:38] Eagle, oh ok there are other alternatives... damn small linux... austrumi which can be run from memory alone... and other small linux distributions [07:38] modem ports... rj 9 right? [07:38] !plymouth [07:38] Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [07:38] if doing that, you likely would need a dtfm emulator, and or (the other pc could be an emulator) but you would need a way to (iirc 5v) power the phone line itself, so the modem dialing, thinks its connected to a line, not a dead cable [07:38] but thats just specualtion [07:38] jaysern, does it say anything else? [07:39] coz_: I herd 10.10 was good [07:39] uh, also iirc, the game descent could dial into other computers to play directly [07:39] it seems to change your Plymouth themes . you use the 'alternatives' tools/method. [07:39] Eagle, ah ok... mm well then try the lubuntu version... [07:39] i belive it was called direct com communication [07:39] ox3a, not sure but its prolly not a good idea to just delete it. change it first then maybe you can but i wouldnt know [07:39] ox3a, i use the gui that that mentions [07:40] r3in, com port is the serial port.

[08:09] unfortunate.. can't say, maybe someone else can [08:10] ethana2, hurm...ok...thx [08:10] Dr_Willis, google translate did not know either [08:10] Dr_Willis, can I install Desktop On Ubuntu Server From Ubuntu Desktop Cd [08:10] jeus: yes. the package name is 'ubuntu-desktop' [08:11] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [08:11] jeus: you are better off installing the ubuntu 'desktop' edition, then installing what services you need.. then to install the server edition then try to get a desktop working. [08:13] sam-_-, http://i.imgur.com/MViG5.jpg [08:13] Okay, so kind of a weird question but I'm the linux junkie in my family. I'm looking for maybe some kind of server solution, that would allow Outlook Express and iPhone calendars, to be synced into one centralized computer, pref. running linux. Any ideas? [08:13] This is HORRIBLE. Every time I open "home" BANSHEE POPS UP. [08:14] pay attention to the menu, scrollbar, and other UIs [08:14] help me...how to update bios using linux?? [08:14] Hello :) I have a Ubuntu Lucid installation CD, but when I boot my PC it starts the installation in graphic mode, and I want to install it in text mode... how can I force text mode installation on the CD? [08:14] it looks so primitive === oCean_ is now known as oCean [08:14] shai? coleman? [08:14] nawk, use a different theme then [08:14] shai__, you mean like a BASIC installer? Or are you looking for a CLI version? [08:14] sam-_- its not a theme issue [08:14] My primary and only operating system right now is Ubuntu 10.10, a while back I wiped my hard disk and did a fresh install. However, now I want to play some games that only fair well on windows so I want to install Windows 7. What I want to know is how can I make a partition for Windows, say about 40GB, and also have Ubuntu as my Primary. Also, I'm somewhat of a novice. [08:14] hidnshadows: I think basic ... [08:15] I really need help with this [08:15] its bothering me [08:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo: "If all devices listed say "no wireless extensions." then your wireless card is not configured." What is a »wireless extension«? 'man iwconfig' does not tell. [08:15] nawk, some themes need certain "engines" installed [08:15] shai, try the alternate cd [08:15] Dr_Willis, I'm Worry about unable to config current work as network and SVN and FTP and Other [08:15] how do i re-install xubuntu from terminal? [08:16] sam-_- any suggestions? But those UI looks like primitive X'ish [08:16] Bluefever, on the disc install menu, it gives you an option to create partitions, it isn't really that hard though it may seem it at first [08:16] nawk, try with installing gtk2-engines [08:16] i haven't been able to install 10.04 from cd to usb.. [08:16] Bluefever: You can do that using GParted. [08:16] nawk, then selecting a theme [08:16] the windows bootloader might become the default after you install it [08:16] nawk, it is a theme issue. trust me. [08:16] testin2 [08:16] jeus: configuring services should be the same on desktop or server editions [08:16] i have 8.04 now... [08:17] grr... :( [08:17] bluefever scotty No, the bootloader is GRUB. You install windows first, then ubuntu, but GRUB2[?] is the bootloader. WBM is only if you're using Wubi [08:17] help me...how to update bios using usb in linux?? [08:17] Dr_Willis, yes I See install Server With Shell And Terminal Only [08:17] asyraff, what do you mean by USB? [08:18] asyraff: one normally boots some sort of freedos live cd/flash drive and uses the mb makers tools to flash the bios. [08:18] So should I create the 40GB partition before hand with GParted, or will I be able to do it during the windows install. [08:18] hidnshadows, use usb stick to update bios [08:18] Bluefever you have which OS installed aleady? [08:18] Ubuntu 10.10 [08:18] back [08:19] Dr_Willis, hurm...i dont understand... [08:19] Bluefever if you install windows, then ubuntu, the LiveCD has a menu page during installation that will allow you to make partitions and a bootloader === Scotty is now known as Scott` [08:19] asyraff: make a bootable flash drive.. that boots freedos, copy the mB makers bios and flash tools to the flash drive.. boot the usb.. use the tools. [08:20] sam-_-, its not the border/frames issue. can you look at the picture and pay attention to the buttons, scrollbars and such ? [08:20] can't unlock admin directory? can't rebuild ? [08:20] gtk2-engines is installed [08:20] asyraff: some MB makers have built in bios features to read/flaash the bios from teh bios menus these days [08:20] Well, I know it is reccomended to do Windows, and then Ubuntu, but I was looking to do the reverse. [08:20] Bluefever: you will need to reinstall grub to the mbr then. Unless you are using 2 seperate hard drives [08:21] nawk, believe me i do understand :-) i had the same issue once [08:21] Alright, but what if Ubuntu doesn't show up in the partitions. [08:21] I read that somewhere [08:21] Dr_Willis, hurm...i've follow the instruction from this site http://0sumgain.blogspot.com/2009/11/updating-motherboard-bios-from-ubuntu.html?showComment=1262429971912#c6813688077983055525 [08:22] asyraff: see also http://www.linux-sxs.org/hardware/flash_boot_cd.html [08:22] bluefever it may not be possible, I haven't worked with windows installs enough to know. Here's a link and a warning, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot and now the warning: It's advised that you stay away from wubi, it's extremely fragile. Whatever you do, back your stuff up [08:22] sam-_- well, picture is worth a thousand words. Atm, i'm using compiz-fusion everything works like a charm [08:22] sam-_-, can you help me with this? :-) [08:22] windows cant read ext* so it probably wont see ubuntu [08:22] it doesnt recognize them when im booted into windows [08:22] nawk, i would try installing a different theme. [08:22] like clearlooks [08:23] Scott`: yep, windows sucks like that, theres fs-driver.org which will give read access the etx2 and ext3 [08:23] has fs-driver.org's tool been updated to windows7 yet? [08:23] Dr_Willis: no idea, i havent used windows in dual boot for years [08:24] Dr_Willis, but....i dont want to use cdrom...i want to use usb-stick [08:24] sam-_- changing the theme (like clearlooks) doesn't change the way the UI components (buttons, scrollbar, menus) looks [08:24] asyraff: so make a bootable usb stick [08:24] its still primitive [08:24] Dr_Willis, same steps? [08:24] Scott`: whats funny though is that the ext4 definitions are freely available so MS could incorporate it, yet they are tat shortsighted and havent. Yet the proprietary NTFS which is not disclosed can be written and read fully by Linux. [08:24] asyraff: i would imaghine so. [08:24] lol [08:25] hidnshadows: any idea? [08:25] actionparsnip they're too busy trying to fix their own code, to worry about others' [08:25] Thanks all for the advice! [08:25] nawk, download this: http://art.gnome.org/download/themes/gtk2/1377/GTK2-ClearlooksCompact.tar.bz2 [08:25] hidnshadows: I think it's pretty pathetic personally [08:25] nawk, then install via appearance pregs [08:25] nawk, then install via appearance prefs [08:26] sam-_-, i have it [08:26] Dr_Willis: it says it supports win 2008, so 7 may be ok [08:26] actionparsnip pretty much, and their users aren't very friendly. But, that's a bit o4o [08:26] windows 7 and 2008 are practically identical [08:26] shai__, your problem was you wanted an alternate installer, right? [08:26] hidnshadows: workaroud...use dropbox ;) [08:26] ActionParsnip, dropbox? [08:27] can I do a CLI install using a normal ubuntu install cd? [08:27] gbear14275: No. === ricky_ is now known as Guest53691 [08:27] hidnshadows: web storage which autosyncs (like rsync) when new files are added / editted in the dropbox folder [08:28] gbear14275: you can use minimal to install the core of the OS and build up, if thats what you mean.... [08:28] is it possible to connect to the internet via modem during install? [08:28] gbear14275: If your modem is supported, yes. [08:28] ActionParsnip, and that's responding to what? No offense but my attention span is- ooh shiny [08:28] !alternate | gbear14275 shai__ [08:28] gbear14275 shai__: 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 [08:28] gbear14275: network manager is present at the install time so you can configure the connection. If you need drivers and such you can press CTRL+ALT+T and setup the modem [08:29] hidnshadows: no ext4 access in windows, use the web to store data [08:29] hidnshadows: its like ubuntuone but works on more devices [08:29] ActionParsnip: Jordan_U: Thank you [08:29] and its multi platform [08:30] even works on Android phones :) [08:30] gbear14275: You're welcome. [08:30] ya [08:30] ActionParsnip, aaaah very clever! The only problem would be security integrity, but if it works [08:30] i have dropbox on my windows install, my ubuntu install and on my android [08:30] I'm trying to install lubuntu onto an older system (Tecra 8000) and have no clue how to get it to the internet as it has no ethernet port. Trying to figure out how to create a bridge or something with my T61 right now to get internet to the Tecra 8000 [08:30] hidnshadows: its as secure as your webmail as you use your email address and dropbox pass to authenticate when you install the client [08:31] !ics | gbear14275 [08:31] gbear14275: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [08:31] Hello everyone, i have one quick question, could you help me please. I have some directory with binary files within, and i have second directory with same changes. Which program to use in order to make patch, xdelta(3) or diff. Please help me to choose. There is not to much differ between versions. Sorry for my poor english. [08:31] what's the point of the | :/ [08:31] ActionParsnip, I'll have to look that up. I personally use my iTouch as a LAN server [08:32] Scott`: highlights the nick of the user [08:32] no [08:32] ActionParsnip: was looking at that earlier... but all I have is a phone line and that option is not in connection manager [08:32] what is the point of !ics | blah when you can just do !ics blah [08:32] !ics scott [08:32] exactly [08:32] why is the | needed [08:32] Scott`: because it makes it work, the pipe IS needed [08:33] of course >_> [08:33] Scott`: try it, try: !ics ActionParsnip [08:33] shai__, try looking at this http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download [08:33] ok thanks :) [08:33] Scott`: the pipe pipes the text in the channel, you can also use > to redirect so the text is only seen by the intended recipient [08:33] shai__, no problem, and good luck [08:34] i see [08:36] lol, I gave sam that quit messsage, :D [08:36] by accident [08:36] Can I use a 6P2C cable to connect two computers? [08:37] how do you stop/start iptables? [08:37] Is it possible to remap the keyboard on here? Every time I boot up, my spacebar goes numb so I want to replace a nearby key, and just tape a bit of cardboard to connect them [08:38] exit [08:38] * Dr_Willis wonders what a 6p2c cable even is.... [08:38] !firewall | z4chh [08:38] z4chh: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [08:38] Dr_Willis: technically correct name for what many call RJ9/11... I've been googling and learning alot tonight [08:39] Any preseed expert around? [08:39] gbear14275: hhmm a term ive never heard used in 20+ years of messing with pc's.... heh - YOu are refering to useing 2 modems and a PHONE cable? or a serial 9 pin cable? [08:40] Dr_Willis: phone cable [08:40] gbear14275: with 2 modems.. its possible. [08:40] 'an alternative to ufw is iptables' ? haha [08:40] slow... but possible [08:40] gbear14275: dont ecpectit to be a 2 clicks and its working - sort of thing.

[08:41] Dr_Willis: yeah... I'm figuring i'll be working alot [08:41] Dr_Willis: 6p2c == RJ11 [08:42] I cant even imagine the slowness of doing a 56K modem -> modem connection :) and trying to update an OS these days [08:42] last i used one was on my AMIGA years back [08:42] Dr_Willis: lemonade ... :-/ [08:42] hidnshadows: /var/log/messages [08:43] 讓子彈飛 該烏龜爬 [08:43] yeTr2 I've tried the log viewer, but what components would be most likely to fail, to check those first.

[08:47] Does anyone know how to boot this server?: chroot: cannot execute /etc/apparmor/initfs: input/output error [08:47] vain9 just ask, if someone can help they will, if not then try again later [08:48] Freppa: io error = filesystem or hard drive is having issues.. boot live cd and fsck the filesystems.. and hope its not a HD failure. [08:48] I can see networks via Terminal using iwlist, but through Network Selection GUI, I cannot actually connect to the network. [08:48] Dr_Willis: WIll try. Thanks. [08:48] Freppa: were you trying to remove apparmor? [08:49] Vain9, and it's configured for the proper port? [08:49] No idea, hidn. [08:49] I just got Ubuntu this morning. [08:49] First Linux distro I've ever used. [08:49] Vain9: if you run: sudo iwlist scan | head -n 20 you should see the name of the wireless interface [08:49] Cell 02 is my network. [08:50] But i cannot connect to it. [08:50] Vain9: trying to connect to a Cell Phone? [08:50] Vain9: what is the interface name, like wlan0 or ra0 what is the name [08:50] I can connect via Ethernet / Phones, and wifi on Windows 7 (I'm dual booting) but Ubuntu won't pick it up, [08:50] ActionParsnip: eth1 [08:51] Vain9: bingo. Get wicd installed and tell it to use eth1 as the interface and it will work [08:51] Debian user since 2000. Ubuntu user since 2010. It's been fun but I just can't tolerate such a flaky gnome-desktop. Does anybody actually have a working notification area? I'm on 10.10 (which fixed some problems in 10.04, but no battery indicator is a deal breaker for me) [08:51] Vain9: you will need to reboot after installing wicd [08:52] How would I go about installing that? sudo apt-get install widc? [08:52] * pharvey having to kill the gnome-panel and restart every login [08:52] Vain9: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get -y install wicd [08:52] pharvey: i think theres some battery indicator-applets out there. I recall some at the omgubuntu or webupd8 site. [08:52] pharvey: have you logged bugs? [08:53] ActionParsnip: I work on open source software as my day job, actually. There are several bugs matching my symptoms. [08:53] pharvey: ok, did you state on them that you are having the same issue? [08:53] pharvey: what your job is is moot here [08:53] Action: Apparently it ran the install, but it said this: * Starting Network connection manager wicd [fail] [08:53] Do I just reboot? [08:53] Vain9: yeah reboot away [08:54] All right. I will be back shortly. [08:54] Is there any advanced search tool that i can search text inside multiple documents ? [08:54] is anybody using tcpkill? [08:54] uTorrent server files can be executed on 64bit in some kind of way? [08:54] alket: grep [08:55] is there anybody using tcpkill? [08:55] ActionParsnip, i need a GUI one because i'm at office and many people use this PC [08:55] sheshark: what is that? [08:55] alket: could find a gui for grep then [08:55] (Did I mention the wifi is crashy is since the 10.04 -> 10.10)... === pharvey_ is now known as pharvey [08:56] anyway; how does one go about collecting debug data on a flaky gnome-panel? [08:56] sheshark: look like iptables for the lazy. [08:56] make me get to the Internet in a lag net [08:56] Can I install Ubuntu 10.10 on an HP Pentium 4, with 128GB of RAM for internet purposes? [08:56] I'm tempted to blame some weird dbus interaction, but I've never had to debug that... === zipperhead is now known as LanoX [08:56] YeTr2: make me get to the Internet in a lag net [08:56] Vhozard: sure, install ia32-libs and it may run. If it needs any extra libs you will need to satisfy them by downloading the deb file, extracting it and placing the lib in /usr/lib32 (i believe) [08:56] Eagle: most likely, yes. [08:57] hmmm i have an install of ubuntu on a laptop and i'm thinking of switching another laptop to haiku OS is there an irc channel for haiku OS so i can connect to other haiku users as i know i will still stay in touch with ubuntu on irc? [08:57] Eagle: any reason you shouldn't? 128GB ram, that's a lot... sure you don't mean MB ? [08:57] sheshark: that makes no sense. [08:57] SwedeMike: I mean 128MB... :) [08:57] Okay, I installed wcid, and rebooted. [08:57] alket: seamonkey may do it [08:58] Try running Ubuntu 10.04 on a crappy embedded/sharedmem video system, let alone 10.10... cairo/compiz will eat all your CPU. [08:58] Vain7: ok is wicd running (see notification area0 [08:58] YeTr2: there are so many people that i cann't get to the net [08:58] [08:58] SwedeMike: Will that old computer handle it you think????? [08:58] I don't see anything. :| [08:58] moonbuggy: http://tinyurl.com/6c28x4x [08:59] thx [08:59] YeTr2: there are so many people in the lan that i cann't get to the net [08:59] hi all -- gnomeradio on pc amd 64 no plays [08:59] pharvey: runs full compiz and Gnome desktop on onboard nvidia 6150SE with 2Gb RAM, the video card uses the RAM as video ram and it runs amazingly [08:59] sheshark: so, what are you trying to do? running that command I believe only works for the localhost [09:00] Vain7: ok press ALT+F2 and run: wicd-client [09:00] where would I talk on freenode about web programming -- stuff like flash html5 javascript ajax -- need to talk to people about web programming -- anyone know? [09:00] YeTr2: if so,what should i do ? [09:00] ActionParsnip: that's a "real" gpu you have there, not some circa early-2000s i845 IGP [09:00] i now see a computer monitor type icon in my noticifation bar. [09:00] Eagle: For a machine with 128 meg of RAM I would go with lubuntu. [09:01] jordan_u -- maybe xubuntu? [09:01] pharvey: true but it still uses the ram, as you stated... [09:01] Vain7: cool ok open that up, are networks listed/ [09:01] sheshark: run a QoS capable router to prioritize traffic, or deal with it. [09:01] 128meg isn't very much [09:01] it used to be a lot -- not much now [09:01] ActionParsnip: yes, but you're probably using dual-channel 400MHz DDR right? Not some 133MHz SDRAM [09:01] Jordan_U: I'd use puppy, TinyCore or dSL [09:01] Jordan_U: Thing is I don't know lubuntu. That computers got mint on it, and im not too fond of that.... [09:02] pharvey: single channel DDR2 as far as I'm aware [09:02] YeTr2: thank you for your words,i must get down now. [09:02] Lubuntu rocks :) [09:02] nomic: :) [09:03] oh hi almoxorife -- good to see you here [09:03] Jordan_U: Is there any other good Ubuntu ? [09:03] Awh. Action, i got the connection up, but I can't connect. [09:03] I don't know the encryption key. [09:03] It's not the same as my router password. [09:03] ActionParsnip: point is, I shouldn't need a 3rd-generation or later 3D card just to run gnome-terminal on a fresh ubuntu install, which is I discovered a few weeks ago (on 2004 hardware with a "real" 3D card w/32MB) [09:03] Is there any way to (and I'm probably going to say this wrong) Emulate RAM using HDD space? [09:03] almoxarife [09:03] bbl [09:04] Vain7 if you really need the key, there's a tool you may be able to use [09:04] hidnshadows the OS already does that -- it's called swap [09:04] pharvey: hmm, weird. Could try blacklisting drivers until vesa is the only option [09:04] swapspace on your hard drive [09:04] hidnshadows: you mean using swap? [09:04] nomic: join #club-ubuntu , can chat there [09:04] ok [09:04] im going back to #ap later almoxarife [09:04] vesa is only slower, especially as I have to get rid of compiz to avoid the transparency in the terminal (apparently background: solid isn't enough) [09:04] nomic Yeah, I completely forgot about that, sorry [09:04] Action; [09:05] pharvey: go figure the transparency huh, I must have it!! rawr [09:05] Vain3 how many of you are there? [09:05] :) [09:05] hidnshadows: s/he's one [09:05] *gone [09:05] so I assume nobody else has had to suffer crashy gnome-panel [09:05] hi all -- gnomeradio on pc amd 64 no plays: impossibile ti run /dev/radio0 -- someone can help me ? [09:05] hidn: my irc client randomizes my name Vain + integer [09:05] vain3 which one are you using? [09:05] pharvey: i get rid of it and make a wing panel out of AWN :) [09:06] gnomeradio Initializing v4l1 failed [09:06] Initializing v4l2 failed [09:06] Action: wcid is up, and it allows me to see my connections [09:06] but i cannot use it [09:07] Vain3: then I suggest you check your security on the router to make sure you are using the right encryption and password [09:07] Eagle: The minimum recommended RAM for Linux Mint is 256 MiB, for Xubuntu it's also 256 MiB, and for Lubuntu it's 128 MiB. So if the reason you didn't like Mint was that it felt sluggish I expect you will like Lubuntu better. [09:08] Action: I don't know the encryption key. [09:08] not sure what it would be. [09:09] minimum ram for debian is 64MB [09:09] Vain3: then that is outside the scope of the OS really. I suggest you check with your manual or whomever provided the device [09:09] Provided what device, the router, the pc, or what? [09:09] YeTr2: That's not really for a Desktop system as most would expect though. [09:10] debian in 64MB? Maybe with no X. I struggled to get a working debian with fluxbox and 128MB, and that was years ago [09:10] Jordan_U: pharvey you can get X running in 64MB [09:10] I'm not fully familiar with how Linux works, so is it possible to have an Ubuntu executable on a USB stick so that I can plug and run the application on any Ubuntu computer without having to install it? [09:10] Vain3: the router obviously, you are trying to connect to the router and are unsure of the security in the router [09:10] Drule: yes, it is possible. [09:11] Alright. [09:11] YeTr2: and still be able to open a text editor? (I joke... but kinda serious. 128MB left me barely enough to run abiword or a web browser) [09:11] So I need to contact my ISP, or could i log in to the router and find the key/disable the encryption? [09:11] YeTr2: X alone does not a Desktop system make :) [09:11] pharvey: you don't need much ram for vi [09:11] Jordan_U: Its not sluggish at all, maybe its 256MB I will cheak later, but if its 256MB will Ubuntu 10.10 work??? I find it easyer to use, but if i have to stick with mint then i shull. [09:11] Vain3: you may have a manual with it in but they may know [09:12] Eagle: i'd use puppy, it'll be a lot smoother for you [09:12] Well, it's currently 4:12 AM, so I doubt my ISP is open. [09:12] :P [09:12] YeTr2: vim-lite still uses ~10MB SHR on a blank document... When I had my 128MB system, I was killing the ttys idling in the background so I could have more terminals open in X. === violetstreak is now known as `violetstreak [09:12] vim-lite? I mean to say vim-full. [09:13] * pharvey bitter at computing today [09:13] pharvey: for memory strapped systems you might want to look at nvi instead :) [09:13] * PurpleCthulhu waves [09:14] word 97 is nice and run on 32 MB machines [09:14] ActionParsnip: Ya I would if I knew it. Im new to Linux and Ubuntu. Since windows screwed me. But you say it will work well, What version? [09:14] Eagle: 5.2 is the latest stable [09:14] ActionParsnip: He's said that speed is *not* his primary issue at the moment, rather useability is. [09:15] greppy: isn't nvi ancient history? [09:15] Eagle, 256 MB is below reasonable amount [09:15] ActionParsnip: Ya I just need to access the net on it... [09:15] Eagle, you need some strapped-to-unusability system for it [09:16] Eagle: puppy will do fine, or you can install XPUD, it boots faster than anything [09:16] Eagle if featherlinux was still around, I think that might have helped you [09:16] hidnshadows: featherlinux?????? [09:16] ActionParsnip, isn't puppy 2.4 kernel and no i18n? [09:17] Eagle you're looking for an extremely lightweight OS, capable of a browser like FF, right? [09:17] I have 4 GB RAM in my T61p laptop, but 'free' is only showing 3 GB (http://paste.adora.dk/P1897.txt). I have checked memtest86 says I have 4 GB. How do I make more RAM available for my system? [09:17] tdn, pae or 64 bit [09:17] <`violetstreak> how does one remove a (non-empty) directory from terminal. rmdir doesn't work [09:17] hidnshadows: ya [09:17] `violetstreak: rm -rf [09:18] <`violetstreak> thanks greppy [09:18] Eagle like a rescue OS, or just something like for a netbook? [09:18] Lint01: not sure, all I know is it's 2.6.31.14 kernel on the CD [09:18] how do iopen certain programs through terminal [09:18] greppy: why use force? [09:18] ActionParsnip, oh must be DSL then [09:18] hi [09:18] suman: type its name and hit enter [09:18] tdn: even with exactly 4 gb of ram - theres hardware limitions on how much is actually available to the ssytem [09:19] Lint01, I should be able to have more thatn 3 GB total RAM with 32 bit. I know I cannot have a single process have more, however, the total available RAM for the system should not be 3 GB... [09:19] Dr_Willis, yeah, I know. But a whole gig? [09:19] eagle or perhaps you might look up "easypeasy" [09:19] tdn: install the pae kernel and you can access up to 64Gb in 32bit [09:19] hidnshadows: Just so you know, I Have linux Mint Installed on it and It works very well. Should I just stay with It???? [09:19] tdn: try the 64bit system. or the pae kernel and see [09:19] ActionParsnip, with pae several things do not work. Drivers, etc. [09:19] frnds do u know the physical location of a in process installation of software center [09:19] ActionParsnip: habit. [09:19] Eagle if it's fulfilling your needs, without problem, then keep it, [09:20] greppy: its a rEALLY bad habit [09:20] <`violetstreak> and one more thing - can you remove multiple files/directories within the same directory in one go? [09:20] tdn: hmm, then you may need 64bit vitamins then [09:20] pae kernels usually labelled pae or bigmem [09:20] free the fish! [09:20] ive rarely heard of the PAE kernel having issues.. exccept with older hardware [09:21] ActionParsnip, 64-bit drivers are none to find [09:21] `violetstreak: you can use globbing. e.g. rm -r ~/Downloads/m* to delete all folders in ~/Downloads which start with m [09:21] [09:21] hidnshadows: Ok then what web Browser is best for it Firefox or Opera???? [09:21] Lint01: depends on the hardware [09:21] tdn: please don't post same question in multiple channels.. [09:21] Eagle: use what you like. [09:22] <`violetstreak> thanks ActionParsnip - but to remove a select few from terminal...? [09:22] Eagle: on low end system I'd usee arora or Midori [09:22] how do i open certain application through terminal [09:22] <`violetstreak> which are named differently [09:22] Eagle whichever you think is best, but if oyu're strapped for resources try Epiphany [09:22] ActionParsnip, I have problems finding drivers for 64 bit also. I am aware that I might not be able to have full 4 GB RAM, however, I should be able to have more thatn 3023 MB. This limit does not make sense. [09:22] suman: I told you, type its name. You can use TAB to autocomplete [09:22] `violetstreak: rm foo bar bubba/stuff/ and so on.. I think [09:22] thank u action [09:22] <`violetstreak> ill give that a try thanks ;) [09:22] tdn: then you know your range of options, make your call [09:23] tdn: it's based on addressable space for 32bit systems. [09:23] tdn: drivers for what exactly? ive rarely found anything missing for 64bit these days [09:23] Dr_Willis: Brother drivers [09:23] Dr_Willis, HP. [09:23] Dr_Willis: Canon drivers, both are 32bit only [09:23] tdn: HPLIP works in both 64bit and 32bit [09:23] Dr_Willis, also, my bank does not work with 64 bit Java. [09:23] tdn: it's also part of a standard Ubuntu install [09:23] Brother printer i got had 64bit.. and well canon.. lets say im never buying a canon again.. :) [09:24] can i install compiz on my netbook edition of ubuntu [09:24] or Kodak, never buy kodak [09:24] links2 is nice but support no javascript [09:24] Dr_Willis: hidnshadows: Is Opera not Lighter on resources than Firefox????? [09:24] ActionParsnip: hmm.. My canon printer does work on my 64bit system last i tried it.. [09:24] Eagle: i'd say so, firefox eats ram like mad [09:24] but the thing is so $$ ink wise.. i dont use it. [09:24] suman, it depends [09:24] Dr_Willis: last I saw they only made 32bit... [09:24] i wonder how a ppd file can be 64 or 32bit.... [09:24] depend on wat ?kindly elaborate [09:25] Eagle I'm not sure, test out Epiphany first, then seamonkey, then if those don't do it for oyu firefox, you just need to try them all [09:25] tdn: use 32bit browser using ia32-libs ;) [09:25] suman, on your video hardware, obviously [09:25] could be the offical canon drivers are 32bit only.. but the cups/openprinting.org drivers are both.. [09:25] Dr_Willis: hmm, interesting thought [09:25] i have sony vaio VPCW125ag [09:25] Dr_Willis: yeah I think thats where I was going with the Canon stuff [09:26] do i need a graphics card...when ever i try to insatll it says mutter is enabled [09:26] ActionParsnip: Dr_Willis: hidnshadows: THANKS for the help ;-) [09:27] suman: you need a video bios to boot or the system will fail post [09:27] Eagle that's why we're here, and good luck [09:27] hey [09:27] does anybody know if it's possible to close the empathy IRC chan window without parting the channel? [09:27] so i think its better not to try it ..rit?? [09:27] http://www.dafk.net/what/ [09:28] XiaolinDraconis: don't paste that here.. [09:28] hello. does anyone knows where could i find some documentation about video stream capture basic functions under linux ? [09:28] hellooooooooooo [09:28] Hi, how do I start fsck from a livecd via the terminal?

[09:29] sanjeev__: the .deb packages all get cached in /var/cache/apt/ [09:30] hidnshadows: Pardon my stupidity :-[ But here in Empathy when I started it had a list of everyone in the chat room, and now its not there, and I don't know where to change it? [09:30] saba: all the package managers cache them in the same place [09:30] Eagle nothing wrong with not knowing something that's why you're here. I don't use empathy, sorry, but try looking in the menus [09:31] ActionParsnip, yah but there is only one download option on that site? can you please give me right link? [09:31] [09:31] hidnshadows: Much Appreciated! :-) [09:31] AbhiJit: add the relevant line to /etc/apt/sources.list and you can install using software centre [09:32] ??? [09:32] http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [09:32] ActionParsnip, hey i am talking about downloading latest non ose version of virtual box? [09:32] has lots of options.. pick the ne for your OS/version/#bits [09:32] AbhiJit: scoll down past the links,you can see text to add to sources.list [09:32] ActionParsnip, okay [09:32] Dr_Willis, ok [09:32] AbhiJit: ok but the OSE doesn't have USB functionality.... [09:33] * Dr_Willis dosent see whats confuseing about the download site. [09:33] * Vain3 wishes to tell Dr_Willis he spelled 'confusing' wrong. [09:33] Dr_Willis, they ddnt mentioned anywhere which is ose and which is non ose version [09:33] ActionParsnip, what do you mean USB functionality? ability to boot from USB? or ability to use USB devices? [09:33] Dr_Willis: its pretty well laid out, impressive :) [09:33] there is one thing that I want on iphone that isnt there, :( [09:33] ActionParsnip, no, i mean capture videos from video streams like webcams, or even files [09:33] Vain3: i wish to tell you that 'i dont care' :) [09:33] hidnshadows: access usb devices [09:33] fsck will only result in "fsck from linux-tools-ng" do i need to install any package first? [09:33] DOSBOX! :'( [09:33] actionparsnip always works for me, vbox OSE correct? [09:33] hidnshadows, cant connect usb [09:34] christhecoolboy: i will have to check my Android to see if its on there. [09:34] christhecoolboy: how is that ubuntu related? [09:34] Freppa, +1 [09:34] ^^ [09:34] hidnshadows: the OSE doesn't have raw USB connectivity [09:34] Wife is allready asking me when Angry Birds will come out for Ubuntu... [09:34] were allowed to go off-topic once in a while [09:34] hidnshadows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/Installation [09:34] if its tech based [09:35] AbhiJit: did you install the vbox-4 version? [09:35] oCean, yeah now downloading it. [09:36] ActionParsnip, weird, it always works for me, does whoever perhaps need to add a device slot under settings? [09:36] AbhiJit: you can add a repository also [09:36] AbhiJit: once you've installed that, you have to install an extension pack for usb to work [09:36] AbhiJit: if you use the sources.list method you will automatically get updates when the vbox team update the server, using the deb you will not get this [09:36] oCean, yah will do that later. thanks for pointing out! [09:36] ActionParsnip, ok [09:36] hidnshadows: not sure man [09:36] oCean, sure [09:36] :) [09:37] ciao, sono nuovo [09:37] !it | bipc [09:37] bipc: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[09:38] thank [09:38] bipc esce [09:39] christhecoolboy: you did serarch first to make sure someone else had not allrey subbmited the same bug? :) [09:40] someone told me to submit it.. [09:40] so you did not bother searching first. [09:40] its my first bug [09:40] nobody told me to search [09:40] but on it, I put a bugfix [09:40] christhecoolboy, dont worry, if its a dupe it will be found out ;-) [09:41] if it was a dupe. you might of found the fix first :) [09:42] then again. you may find other fix's also.. or may want to submit the fix to the other bug reports also.. [09:42] but it all boils down in the soup. :) [09:42] Hmm.. cant remove c vbox 3.2 to insdtall vbox 4. because it says vbox has vm's running.. [09:43] anyone free to help me with an install? === akagi is now known as akagi82 [09:44] akagi what do oyu need help with? feel free to ask anything ubuntu-related [09:45] Dr_Willis, what about system monitor? [09:45] killed vbox with the kill command. :) service command was not stoppingit.. [09:46] well... I just installed ubuntu netbook 10.10, after install reset my computer and i dont get boot selection, jut loads straight to windows [09:46] Dr_Willis: sometime you need to bring the big hammer [09:46] christhecoolboy: sound isnt the most important part of the PC, the CPU is. Glad you found a fix though :) [09:47] akagi82: how did you install Ubuntu (Wubi or normal install)? [09:47] apt-get? [09:47] apt-get install ubuntu [09:48] I'm having problems with nm-applet, it doesn't show in the notifications area on startup but when I start it from a terminal it pops up (saying it removes the icon from the notification area and then adds it to the notification area) [09:48] ActionParsnip, sound is important, people might go back to windows or mac if sound doesnt work [09:48] would you use a PC with no sound? [09:48] christhecoolboy: yes.. yes i do... [09:48] christhecoolboy, would you pay for a small problem that could be fixed with a little perseverance? [09:48] usb install... originally i couldnt get in having an lenovo s10-3... had to use intel_idle.max_cstate=0 [09:49] christhecoolboy: sure but its not THE most important part.. [09:49] Hi guys can someone point me to the right ppa for installing firefox 4 on Ubuntu? [09:49] got in and installed, then nothing [09:49] bigbrovar_: ive seen omgubuntu and webupd8 have guides on doing that. No idea what ppa they use/sugest [09:49] ROFL [09:50] bigbrovar_: silverwave @ launchpad [09:50] akagi82: do you mean a black screen at boot? [09:50] Dr_Willis: there is a ubuntu/mozilla-ppa-daily (or something like that) but it doesnt seem to be working [09:50] beginer, would you mind keeping such unnecessary comments to yourself? Also, has anyone helped you with a problem or are you waiting? [09:50] bigbrovar_: This should help [09:50] 09:46 < oCean> bigbrovar_: silverwave @ launchpad [09:50] :) [09:51] bigbrovar_: This should help https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=firefox+4 [09:51] hidnshadows, ?? wha?? [09:51] i get windows at boot...nothing else [09:51] hidnshadows: Do you know how to configure a UPS to a computer with ubuntu, so when there is a power cut it shut's down atomaticly? [09:51] DJones: Dr_Willis: oCean: Thanks guys got it working now. I guess I was doing it wrong before [09:51] hidnshadows, no, thats why we fix the problems [09:52] bigbrovar_: happy surfin' :) [09:52] so the general public dont have to [09:52] Eagle It should just be that you plug the computer into the UPS, there shouldn't really be any configuration [09:52] akagi82: The Ubuntu installer may have incorrectly installed grub to the USB drive instead of the netbook's internal drive. [09:52] does ubuntu 10.10 have the dosemu bug [09:52] akagi82: then boot to liveCD and reinstate grub2 [09:53] hidnshadows: oh ok Thanks...... [09:53] small: what dosemu bug? check teh bug reports perhaps? [09:53] i dont have livecd - netbook [09:53] hidnshadows: there should be, you need to set thresholds and timeouts etc [09:53] how do i check if it's done that jordan? [09:53] the dosemu wouldn't run in 10.04 [09:54] Eagle actionparsnip Forgot about that, I was thinking pure software interaction, which unless it's a new fancy-schmancy one there aren't any. [09:54] akagi82: Try booting from the USB you installed with. If grub was installed there than rather than booting the Ubuntu installer it will boot your installed system (from the internal drive). [09:55] hey guys, I changed my network address in server 10.10 to static, it now works when I ping the machine from a different machine, but when I ping the hostname, it fails, and it returns the old IP [09:55] [09:55] hidnshadows: its an old UPS??? [09:55] hidnshadows: you'll need to at least tell the device what OS it is attached to, so it can issue the right shutdown command [09:55] I'll assume there is something else I ahve to change [09:55] i tried that and just got the standard usb install options [09:56] Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS and I have trouble with the mouse. I'm using Gnome, but I've also tried OpenBox. After opening some applications (e.g. Skype, terminal) I can't use the mouse click; I can move the mouse though. Any ideas what could be the problem? [09:56] i edited etc/network/interfaces [09:56] eagle actionparsnip When I think of UPS, I think of a big backup battery, that gives you just enough time to save any important stuff, then shut down properly, lasting for less than 5 minutes. Is this wrong? [09:56] If I compile a program on one computer (With all dev files) can I copy the compiled app and "Install" it on another pc (Same OS)??? [09:57] I only added ip, subnet mask and gateway, is there something else I need to change as well? [09:57] If I compile a program on one computer (With all dev files) can I copy the compiled app and "Install" it on another pc (Same OS)??? [09:57] This is what I actually had to do to get it to install: http://technomess.blogspot.com/2010/11/ubuntu-1010-and-lenovo-ideapad-s10-3.html [09:57] hidnshadows: in essence yes, but good UPS systems will save enough juice for the system to be automatically shutdown by the device so the power doesn't just die and may corrupt data [09:57] hey guys, i am havingtrouble connecting to openvpn, where do I get the ca.crt from ? [09:58] ozfalcon: sure, I recommend you use checkinstall to make a deb of the resulting binary [09:58] wooooow [09:58] hidnshadows: Correct! Its a 12v battery. Its only for one computer. [09:59] hi [09:59] ActionParsnip, Good. I'm compiling k3b 2.02. and want to make an easy install on a second machine (With k3b 2.00 from backports already installed). [10:00] ActionParsnip, checkinstall will make a .deb file? [10:00] ozfalcon: if memory serves, yes [10:01] Ubuntu lack of backports is frustrating. [10:01] ozfalcon: there's ppa builds of k3b somewhere most likely [10:02] omw [10:02] anyone here to please help me with the networking issue? [10:02] Tm_T, Only 2.00 (That I can find) and it has a bug that causes normalize-audio to not be found. Simple workarounds don't seem to work. [10:02] anyone know openvpn ? do you get the ca.crt from the server ? [10:03] ozfalcon: I found a ppa with 2.01 [10:03] for the client to connect ? [10:03] I can get back ubuntu but that would only be from the usb not my hd install... once in is there anything i can do from there to get the grub installed? [10:03] ActionParsnip, where [10:03] ozfalcon: https://launchpad.net/~msb/+archive/ppa === garymc_ is now known as garymc [10:04] ActionParsnip: ozfalcon and then there's https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports (also 2.01) [10:05] I saw the kubuntu - But wasn't sure cause it was "K" [10:05] But didn't see the others. Ta. [10:05] star3am: it doesn't have to come from the server you are trying to connect to. [10:05] hey thax for the reply, sow here do i get it ? [10:06] I found it in /usr/share/openvpn but that does not work [10:06] are you trying to set up a server or connect to one? [10:07] Well, 2.02 is 57% compiled now. I might try checkinstall if it works ok. [10:07] connect to one, i have my .key .crt and .csr === Fish is now known as Guest77976 [10:07] otherwise I'll use that msb ppa [10:07] but the config wants ca.crt and that i don't have :/ [10:07] !panels [10:07] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [10:07] ozfalcon: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html [10:08] ta [10:08] here goes make install! [10:09] can i partition a drive that has already been on raid 1? [10:10] anyone availble to help with my no grub problem? [10:10] OK, It's working (k3b 2.02). I just had to rename the current k3b (2.00) install bin to something else & it ran fine. [10:11] ozfalcon: you should make a deb as youo are using a package based OS, things could get sticky [10:11] apt-get install? === LanoX is now known as LanoX|blackops [10:12] evening all [10:12] ActionParsnip, Yeah. I know. Silent install's over debs have to be carefully managed. [10:12] <`violetstreak> does anyone happen to know a free alternative to http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.php for linux? [10:12] talking to me beginer? [10:12] Hi All, I can't get an answer in #ubuntu-app-devel: What programming language is best for creating console apps? [10:12] oh sorry i was thinking something akagi82 [10:13] ryanf_109, its python!! [10:13] no prob [10:14] beginer: that's the correct answer for all programming questions! [10:14] beginer, I know a bit of C++ is this useless? [10:14] ryanf_109: seriously, the answer depends on what you want to build [10:14] I don't know I just want to program! [10:14] yaya [10:14] oooh [10:14] sugoruyo, you're correct [10:15] ryanf_109: then i have to second beginer, pick up a good book on python, look up the tutorials, fire up a nice text editor and code away [10:15] Hi, I cant seem to create any files or paste any files into my thumbdrive... even sudo cp doesnt work... [10:15] I just installed so much KDE crap that I hope it doesn't interfere with my good gnome setup. [10:15] ok :-) Thanks. I have one more question.... [10:15] :D [10:15] How can I check if the php5-cli package is installed? [10:16] "which php" doesnt return anything so I believe php5-cli is not installed... [10:16] Ububegin, ?? [10:16] once I am good at python, how easy is it to move on to Gnome apps? Will I need other software, or is it easy enough to code with your text editor?? [10:16] Hello! [10:16] beginer: it has become a read-only file system.. [10:16] python is relatively easy to learn, VERY powerful (in terms of range of things you can with it), built-in to any modern UNIX/Linux system (including OS X) [10:16] aaah [10:16] borwar: apt-get install php-cli5 [10:16] borwar: dpkg -l php5-cli [10:16] ryanf_109: GNOME apps are written mostly in GTK [10:16] Ububegin, just give a an fdisk flush === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [10:16] Got a problem "propagating" an installation from a MacIntel to another one, using dd (the second MacIntel is mounted as a FireWire disk) [10:16] ok. Thanks guys.

[10:17] beginer: dude, will that delete all existing date on it [10:17] dpkg -l |grep php [10:17] beginer: data, i mean [10:17] ryanf_109: buttons*, python has PyGTK and other stuff that allow you to connect the two [10:17] cool. I read in my linux mag about Glade Interface Designer will this be of any use? [10:17] Ububegin, yes bro!! [10:18] ryanf_109: so learn some python, and then learn some GTK, as for Glade, yeah I think it works with python [10:18] ryanf_109: Glade is used to design the look of your application, you can do it in code, but glade is easier for more complex UIs === yen-thao is now known as vubuntor439 [10:18] beginer: O_O .. i still need the data on it [10:18] :-) OK thanks a lot guys. I'll be around here a lot! [10:18] then first copy it and then fdisk Ububegin [10:18] checkinstall is doing something................... [10:18] ryanf_109: of course, python is just a suggestion, you can always choose something else [10:19] ls [10:19] well it can't hurt to learn it. What is the difference between it and say C++? [10:19] ryanf_109: python is an interpreted language, C++ is a compiled language [10:19] ryanf_109: C++ is painful, not for beginners.. [10:20] ryanf_109: the python interpreter reads the python code, then runs it, C++ is compiled directly to machine readable code [10:20] Ububegin: in _your_ opinion ;) [10:20] ryanf_109: that's a tricky one, they're both object oriented, you don't compile python to binary, it's dynamically typed (meaning a variable can change type in execution) [10:20] shcherbak: will that mess up what I've already installed? [10:20] or will it gracefully install along with what I already got? [10:20] ok. Does this mean if I have a python-written program I can see the code? [10:20] ryanf_109: i'd say python is more forgiving to those with a less technical background (for example if you're not good with pointers) [10:21] ryanf_109: as you don't compile python, you *must* have the code to run a python program [10:21] ryanf_109: sort of, python compiles to bytecode for optimization, but if you have a python program in .py files yes, those are the code itself [10:21] tsimpson: can't you run pre-compiled bytecode without the code itself? [10:21] ok guys. [10:21] Hello, is it possible when I log into Ubuntu on startup that I can also be logged in to windows?, Like I can be on both at one time and do some windows stuff in one window and ubuntu stoff in the other? [10:22] tsimpson: never tried it, just wondering [10:22] So python has and interpreter just like java.... and compiles to byte code? [10:22] sugoruyo: python attempts to update the .pyc from the .py, it'll probably explode without the .py somewhere [10:22] jjk1989, Look up VBox, it's a virtualization machine [10:22] jjk1989: you need to use an emulator for your windows. [10:22] hi all, i am using ubuntu 10.04, where can i find wmi-client package ? [10:22] sugoruyo, does this mean that you have the option to kind of compile it, but not so the code is completely unreadable? [10:23] ryanf_109: Python is basically a scripting language, as far as I know there's no *sure-fire* way to make it *completely* unreadable AND have it run just as well/fast [10:23] Can anyone recommend an efficient socks5 proxy server? [10:23] slie: python is interpreted yes, and compiled to bytecode just-in-time [10:24] For some reasion i thought you could compile and turn your python into an exicutible? [10:24] sugoruyo, I suppose that means it's ideal if it's open source anyway? [10:24] slie: if the bytecode file (.pyc i think) is older than the .py file it recompiles [10:24] out of curiosity...has anyone tried lightspark? open source flash replacement [10:24] sugoruyo: apparently you can remove the .py (if you have the .pyc) and it should (theoretically) work, but it's not recommended by anyone [10:24] ryanf_109: well I'll put it this way: if you're doing open source coding, it saves you compiling binaries AND you don't care who sees your code [10:24] Nice so real time (sort of) to the pyc file [10:25] tsimpson: oh i see [10:25] ryanf_109: "Lean Python the Hard Way" is a great free ebook if you're looking at getting stuck into python [10:25] earwigs, definitely hope to get stuck in. [10:26] slie: I think there are some tools that sort of make your app a standalone package [10:26] ryanf_109: #python is a good room for all things pythono [10:26] python too* [10:26] ok I'll head there. I think all my questions have been answered but I'll see if anyone else is chatting! [10:26] I will get stuck in it until i can program in "Machine Code" sophmore computer science major :) [10:26] ryanf_109: python is very popular in open source, see the ubuntu installer, the original implementation of bittorrent and lots of other stuff you use daily [10:27] and probably don't even know (or care) are in python [10:27] after the latest update both my work pc and test server show a file not found error and a grub rescue line. how can I fix this? [10:28] slie: you mean not even assembly? machine code as in hex codes? or even binary sequences? man you really hardcore... [10:28] My wonder and hesitant to learning python, was the fact that if i wanted to write a program for others to use was the fact that i distribute it as a .py file... WFT then they can read my code? does this matter really? [10:28] when i update grub using update-grub ... i get you must run this as root. what does this mean exactly? [10:29] slie: I've never distributed software to anyone (except handing in project to my proffessors) so I couldn't tell you... [10:29] akagi82: put sudo in front of the command [10:29] akagi82 use sudo [10:29] akagi82: then type your password when asked [10:29] ahh thanks [10:29] Ha ha yeah ill probably stop at assembly i was just kidding wien i was talking about streight Binary. But when i was very young my mom handed me sheets telling me i could write a game with them. "They were only ones and zeros" haha [10:29] :) === QuBit is now known as QuB1t [10:30] akagi82: and be careful when doing stuff as root (always what they do *before* you run them) cause you can easily nuke a system that way [10:30] hej [10:30] sugoruyo: Well that is good to know! I really don't know what the setting will be like when I am able to write what ever i want. [10:30] slie: your mom codes binary? [10:30] akagi82, once I've installed I usually set a password for root by command "pswd root" and then use "su root" to use root. [10:31] how do I upgrade from lucid to maverick [10:31] cool cheers [10:31] I have a system with 2x NICs, how do I choose which one is "default" for outgoing internet traffic? [10:31] No but when i was in the 5th grade she wanted me to, she konw a bunch about computers but i think she only learnd something like .NET "don't hate me im not like that" [10:31] slie: if you do python code for a living at some point I'm guessing it'll be either for the web or internal stuff in some company (most companies sell .net, java or c++ software) [10:31] Revo: with the command "route" [10:31] is there a reason when browsing a windows network on my ubuntu installation it is seriously slow? I mean about 15-20 seconds to open a folder [10:31] it all works its just REALLY slow [10:31] akagi82, just be aware that unless you really have to I usually don't do anything with root since it has permissions to do a lot more and can really mess up things. [10:31] anyone had that before? [10:32] <`violetstreak> sounds like deadmau5 used ubuntu sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVGEumVLBuo&ob=av2el [10:32] thanks iceroot will look into it [10:32] <`violetstreak> Bad Selection [10:32] ryanf_109: that sort of defeats the purpose of using sudo rather than root... plus it opens you up for some security issues [10:32] ciao [10:32] sugoruyo, lol ok this is when my bad practice starts to show. [10:32] sugoruyo: Yeah i'm only learning python in hopes it will take me to the next step. I want to do some android and linux Kernal programing in the future i am so trying to find a way! [10:32] ryanf_109: i've been rooted before [10:33] Both my work pc and test server show a file not found error and a grub rescue prompt after the latest update. [10:33] slie for android you'll need Java and linux kernel you're looking at some hardcore C and some assembly for the CPU of your choice as well [10:33] slie: i want to scrape the internets and play the collected data like a banjo [10:34] hee hee [10:34] Can some one help me. I need to know if there is some sort of Ubuntu anti-virus so I can scan flash sticks before I put them into a windows machine. Or folders before I move the into the windows partition..? [10:34] zxd: I believe the answer is here: [10:34] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades [10:34] python is more high level than you want for kernel and not really supported on android (you don't need the whole java library for android though, it has its own so don't bother learning a lot of java, just coding practices, language features and then move to android) [10:34] earwigs: You konw i actually understud that and that is where my passions to learn the linux kernal comes from :) [10:35] u can use Clamav [10:35] In a directory owned by say user:www-data how do I make new files also belong to the www-data group? [10:35] @Eagle Clamav antivirus === Ivan_ is now known as ivacau [10:36] sugoruyo: Yeah unfortounatly my school only offers Java and assembly for computer science so im moving back to Fairbanks... haha i hate java i feel like im coloring when i write the code and yes i'm learning python in hopes it helps me learn C because i have no direction === pyramid is now known as ubuntu [10:37] basically when i cant get into ubuntu without loading the usb trial version, even after install [10:37] slie: yeah, there's so much out there it's hard to know where to begin [10:37] Eagle: clamav, avg has a linux version also. and i think 2 other av makers now have linux ports of their tools. [10:37] slie: if you're CS major though you really should know *at least* basic C [10:38] there's no grub [10:38] slie: it helps you understand operating systems [10:38] akagi82: ubuntu has no trial [10:38] akagi82: correction: linux has no trials... you probably mean live [10:38] Dr_Willis: So which is the best? And what do you recomend? [10:38] 'Test drive' the OS with out installing... [10:38] Eagle: try them all. [10:38] akagi82: how did you install? [10:38] yeah the usb one [10:38] sugoruyo: So I have a plan, im trying to writ a Standard Dievation program that will use the Google Charts API to graph the data. Just to get experience. [10:38] through the live [10:39] Eagle: and on a windows box. DISABLE the auto-run stuff. [10:39] @Eagle I reccommend Clamav its pretty helpful bt its gud to tyr all of them [10:39] and installed with the dual boot option: win and ubuntu [10:39] sugoruyo: I wish i could start off with C i'm learning python on my own. Okay great maybe you might know i googled it and wikied it but still mixed signals [10:40] hii everybody [10:40] [10:40] hi. I see with df /dev/sdb1 mounted on /media/disk, but I can't see /dev/sdb1 on filesystem... what can I do? [10:40] Dr_Willis: OK Where and how do I install them? Terminal or ubuntu software center?? [10:40] sugoruyo: What dialect should i learn for C? [10:40] akagi82: so you booted the live usb, you did the install and then there's no grub? [10:40] Eagle: ... some are in the repos/soft3are center.. others you go to their homepage and doqwnload them. [10:40] !info clamav [10:40] clamav (source: clamav): anti-virus utility for Unix - command-line interface. In component main, is optional. Version 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1.10.10.1 (maverick), package size 321 kB, installed size 592 kB [10:40] slie: what do you mean dialect? [10:40] any taker for my problem [10:40] i have a samsung corby mobile. Kubuntu identify it as a imaging device always and sometime shows it as modem too. The problem the modem deduction is not stable all the time, sometimes it do and sometimes not. Im using this mobile as a modem which is having a 3g connection.Kppp is also not useful as it says can not open modem, where as the modem is loaded in /dev/ttyACM0 and 1 as well. wvdialconf is returning errorso how to go about from here to make it [10:40] more stable and use it without intermittancy [10:41] kuttans: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:41] yep, when i restart windows boots [10:41] apt-get install Clamav [10:41] slie: C is a language, anything that you use to really make things work is probably a library, learn the language (the latest version of the standard) and choose what libraries you spend your time on depending on what you want to do with the language... [10:41] hi [10:42] btw the only way i could get into the live version was with this command : intel_idle.max_cstate=0 [10:42] [10:42] Dr_Willis: shingie: Thanks dose it have to be updated or something like that? [10:42] as its the only option for my netbook [10:43] akagi82: I have no insights as to why it doesn't start, perhaps the bootloader install failed === ogra is now known as Guest61426 [10:43] is there anyway to check if that's the case? [10:43] sugoruyo: I have been researching C for as long as ive kown about it envious of the knowledge but when i tried to start they were talking about the ISO Standard and The ANSI standard, so i'm looking at Wiki and you said stable that means i should learn C99? [10:44] Eagle: most all AV software has 'virus definition' updates.. yes... [10:44] yeah every Antivirus needs an Update so u got to research on how to keep it updated [10:44] akagi82: nothing conclusive AFAIK, you could always try rebooting the live usb and looking at a guide to reinstalling GRUB2 === Guest61426 is now known as ogra_ [10:44] the user is the best antivirus [10:44] Dr_Willis: shingie: This is what it says Unable to locate package Clamav ?? what do i do? [10:44] Eagle: where it said === claudia is now known as zumwoifi [10:45] Eagle: there is deb version of avast, good i guess [10:45] ok i'll give that a go [10:45] slie: C99 seems to be the most commonly accepted standard, ISO is international, ANSI is American but I'm not sure of the differences since I always used ISO (no reason to use American if you're not American...) [10:45] free for home edition [10:45] slie, I'd learn from K&R http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language_(book) first, then worry about nuances in standards [10:46] kuttans: I don't like avast, sorry but AVG's ok [10:46] DeadPanda: good advice, although I'd start someone off with a slightly friendlier book... [10:46] i guess there AVG too Eagle [10:47] sugoruyo: Learn the logic all languages will follow [10:47] in mozilla insead of choosing to open a file with transmission, where should I find deluge? [10:47] sugoruyo, meh, I started off with that and it was fine, it's short and to the point; if you want a book to hold your hand, look elsewhere [10:47] kuttans: Sorry how and where do i install it from? [10:47] DeadPanda: K&R is great reading, but some people might be intimidated by it's style of writing and somewhat less tutorial-ish tone [10:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318091 [10:47] sugoruyo: best way to learn a language, just trial and error [10:48] sugoruyo: Awesome, just hearing someone put those both into a sentence and in registering into my brain solves so many questions I have had for so long, spending hours researching those exact questions and finding nothing. [10:48] use that link Dr Willis [10:48] kuttans: not all languages follow the same logic and not all people have the time for trial and error [10:48] hi guys, how can I find the ip address of a given dns name in the cli? [10:48] sugoruyo: if you are linux you already have almost everything, start coding the famous hello World [10:48] szpreader: from terminal you can type in whereis deluge it will show you it's location & you can point it directly to it === pyramid is now known as ubuntu [10:48] hmmmhmmh m === umang is now known as Guest34346 [10:48] what does ubuntu have by default that prevents connecting to localhost? (setting up mail and chat thru ssh) [10:49] sugoruyo: This is actually my first time in an IRC but have been a active member in ubuntu forums since 2007 Thank you for the welcom is there a friends list type of thing on here? [10:49] i'm a bit busy but i yo repo must hv Clamav [10:49] sugoruyo:to learn a language the books will help, like the syntax and sementics, no book in this world can help you with logic, its something you gotta innovate === pyramid is now known as ubuntu [10:49] and to make deluge the default client? [10:49] slie: you can private msg someone, and i hope you can have a list of them if your gui supports [10:49] slie: IRC doesn't work that way, maybe your client has a feature, but not all people are on all the time just like in IM services [10:50] szpreader: mozilla allows you to set default programs for all kinda mime type [10:50] Hi. I have an external drive. I plug it in, it opens fine. I play music on it through Totem Movie Player. Sometimes - at random locations - the song stops playing, and I get a read error, and the external's icon is no longer on my desktop. I switch off the external (it's a normal HD in an enclosure), turn it back on, and then everything's fine again. [10:50] Ubuntu 10.10 [10:50] hi [10:50] DeadPanda: I was going to by that book i found it for like 12 bucks one time but that did not have any challanges and was like 100 pages long with huge letters you really thing i should get it and go through it? [10:50] Eagle, install it from yo terminal and files will be taken from a repo [10:51] hi guys, how can I find the ip address of a given dns name in the cli? [10:51] nslookup [10:51] Okay well i'm really new to IRC spent all my time in forums. I actully just searched "apt-cahce search" for IRC client and found this one [10:51] kuttans: logic is something you learn as well, the books can't put it into your head for you but they can provide good examples and good explanations of concepts, K&R is a good example of a book that will teach you good C, but you must be ready to learn good C - which usually means you already have a good grasp on the concept of programming, you're not starting programming with C and K&R unless you have a CS b/g [10:52] shingie: Ok what do I type in to install AVG? sudo apt-get install AVG??? [10:52] quassel is good one but you have many more like this, use ubuntu software store you will find some more [10:52] marcosroriz: whois, nslookup [10:52] Eagle: go to the avg web site and download it.. i dont think its int eh repos. [10:52] marcosroriz: or dns [10:53] Hey all. How can check if apache2/php are running. I have them installed(ap2,php5) localhost is working, but when I try to test it with a index.php file for info(); it gives me a dialog so I can download the file(not execute it in the browser). Any ideas? [10:53] yib6bfbf [10:53] dgx: sudo netstat -tulp [10:53] slie, yep; it explains all the concepts of the C language quite concisely; if you need to learn to _program_ though, not just the C language, there's plenty of online tutorials with challenges etc. [10:53] yeah i agree with you sugoruyo. but choosing a loop structure based on performance and situation is the last thing a book can teach. it can tell you what are the characteristic but selection is on your hand and reasoning is also with you only [10:54] sugoruyo: I have learned a bunch from your info and am very greatfull!!!! i am going to drop python and learn C because that is what i want to do. [10:54] dgx: also /etc/init.d/apache state or service apache state [10:54] dgx: yeah your php modules need a edit [10:54] slie: if you feel that's the way for you sure === apw` is now known as apw [10:54] Basically it's an external USB drive and it stops reading randomly during playback of a song on it (sometimes not for a whole day, other times after 5 minutes). [10:54] slie: thers no reason to drop python to learn C. You proberlu want to learn them both. [10:54] Any ideas? [10:54] Python is to handy to Not know something about. [10:55] DeadPanda: No i think im done with the "Learn to program" junk i want to know how to use the abilitys of the language. I'm not a beginner anymore. [10:55] dgx: for this kind of thing to work i think there is a line named short_open_tag and it shouldnt be commented in php.ini file [10:55] what is the recommended package to use to allow Rhythmbox to support MP3? [10:55] kuttans: when someone is beginning to learn a language (especially their first language) loop performance is relatively irrelevant as most of the time they are debugging not optimizing [10:55] nawk: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and any player will play mp3 [10:55] sugoruyo: Yes it actually is. I was really confused and python really reminded me of java so didn't care for it much. [10:56] !antivirus | Eagle [10:56] Eagle: 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 [10:56] !mantras [10:56] Dr_Willis is right, python is a language that will return your investment in time and effort tenfold, it's just not a language to do kernel stuff in [10:56] sugoruyo:yeah sure, but what happens is the that the fresher will never come to know about the performance issue until unless he start a trial and error way of learning [10:57] slie: you should not drop python however, just focus more on C, python will help you where a C program would be cumbersome to write and debug for a relatively simple task that C has no native support for [10:57] I'm not using short_open_tags . Also apache2 is running when used with init.d/apache2 start [10:57] Dr_Wills: Yes i will definalty come back to python and even java but they have from what i have read taken a ton of shortcuts. I take the approach of doing things the hard way first so that i can completley understand the shortcuts like Proos in math. Thank you for the reminder [10:57] ActionParsnip, thanks [10:57] Morning all [10:57] * Dr_Willis programs to get the job done.. then moves on to the next job. [10:57] sugoruyo: yeah, pythons great for quick mashups and prototyping [10:57] dgx: ist your php module turned on in the apache2? [10:57] kuttans: of course, but trial and error are for when you have time and some experience... [10:58] How can I check this out? [10:58] Anyone know of issues with the Irish mirrors ? [10:58] In the httpd conf? [10:58] Hmm. AVG for linux - seems to be 32bit only. [10:58] Eagle: go with clamav, it's awesome [10:58] sugoruyo: So you think i'm doing good learning more then one language at once? "given i know the basics of a program and programming" [10:58] earwigs: well you don't want to write a log parser in C unless you have to... Python or Perl would be sufficiently fast while offering feature-sets better suited to such a task [10:58] sugoruyo: most of the books i encountered start with the hello world program and how to start and run, with that only i came to a conclusion that without dirtying your hand you can never know whats in the garden [10:59] yeah dgx [10:59] slie: the more you learn, the better... you will have an understanding of diverse approaches which broadens your critical thinking ability [10:59] nothing beats native collections, regexes and memory management. don't write in C unless you have to [11:00] ActionParsnip: OK sure please assist on how to install I am confusing myself as well as everything else....:-! [11:00] Eagle: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa; sudo apt-get -y install clamav; sudo freshclam [11:00] I see, so I get an not found, when looking for php5. So I have to insert it. [11:00] Eagle: the ppa is just added as it has the new engine and virus defs :) [11:00] memory management in C gets cumbersome when having a big program, i get stars when i have to do the profiling [11:00] slie: actually programming in different languages is an immense exercise for your brain and a very beneficial experience - i've found it makes you better able to solve problems [11:01] what does ubuntu have by default that prevents connecting to localhost? (setting up mail and chat thru ssh)? [11:01] [11:01] ActionParsnip THANKS :-D [11:01] slie, you might want to try a totally different style of language at some point - a lisp or haskell [11:01] dgx: there is something called activemodules and available mod or something equivalent in apache2 and you need to install php5 which usually turns on the mod in apache2 [11:01] hi [11:02] http://soundcloud.com/jimdavis/jim-davis-survive [11:02] shameless plug there [11:02] Thanks, kuttans. I am currently reading the exact thing you are talking about in the docs. [11:03] Randomerest: you can tell the service you are setting up to not allow connections from localhost in most cases [11:04] sugoruyo: This is my first time in an IRC and not regretting it. okay I WILL go get my hands dirty in lisp and haskell. one question. I don't relly have anything to use programming for how would you if you can reccomend i use programming [11:04] rat [11:04] user1 [11:05] Fixed it, thanks people. [11:05] ok can't get it installed after hours of hassle, i quit... moving onto my second choice: opensuse. thanks to those who tried to help. [11:06] ActionParsnip: i keep getting a connection refused when trying to connect to localhost for my ssh, [11:06] slie: that's not something one can answer for you... personally i whip up simple scripts for lots of different things, like managing mp3 files, i've written a simple python program that scans ID3 tags on the MP3s in a folder and searches for a pattern in some field i specify [11:06] ActionParsnip: even when telnting to localhost gets connection refused, its weird .. [11:07] DeadPanda: would you reccomend lean C first or lisp or haskell? [11:07] slie: learn_perl [11:07] It seems I'm not the only one with this problem - here is another complaint (with my post at the bottom) - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10367418 [11:07] Randomerest: are you conecting to the right port? [11:07] slie: those are very different languages, each with different uses and different approaches, most practical would be C [11:08] ActionParsnip: I have a package called "Nvidia-current_260.19.06-oubuntu1_amd64.deb" is this my graphic drivers ppackage ?????? [11:08] i have a samsung corby mobile. Kubuntu identify it as a imaging device always and sometime shows it as modem too. The problem the modem deduction is not stable all the time, sometimes it do and sometimes not. Im using this mobile as a modem which is having a 3g connection.Kppp is also not useful as it says can not open modem, where as the modem is loaded in /dev/ttyACM0 and 1 as well. wvdialconf is returning errorso how to go about from here to make it [11:08] more stable and use it without intermittancy [11:08] how can i make my normal user to root user. i dont mean sudo su. i want close all asking passwords and i want access all folders without password [11:08] Is there a way to change the login music in Ubuntu 10.10? [11:08] Eagle: yes, thats the latest nvidia driver [11:08] mrcan: login as a root [11:08] ActionParsnip: OK thanks [11:08] Snakkah: if you open sound properties you can change the sound theme [11:08] mrcan: enable root user first but its not recommended [11:08] mrcan: sudo passwd root, then give it a password for root and then you can login as root [11:08] definatly not reccommended. [11:08] mrcan: not a very good idea though [11:08] mrcan: run: sudo -i [11:08] shcherbak:Okay, i think i have fell into the same trap with the forums and the search queries === rat is now known as Guest59235 [11:09] mrcan: sudo -i in a terminal.. do your work you need as root.. close terminal. [11:09] ActionParsnip: I am positive, running just pop/smtp over ssh and they get connection refused, just to test i try telneting to myself and get it also :S [11:09] mrcan: why do you need access so much outside of $HOME, it's very rare toneed such access [11:09] i connected my mobile and its showing in ttyACM0 and ttyACM1 but when i send modem queries via wvconf its saying failed why? [11:09] kuttans: i want join with my normal user with all access [11:09] Yeah ActionParsnip, but the only option that gives is "Ubuntu" and "No sounds" for the sound theme. [11:10] slie: Do you program at all? [11:10] Snakkah: there are sound themes in the repos as far as I am aware [11:10] What I'm wanting to do is change the login music (that African sounding theme) to something different. [11:10] make it as a sudoer then, its safe to ask password, atleast you can avoid damages [11:10] kuttans: i know its rare but i want it [11:10] Snakkah: I guess if you find the file you can just replace it [11:10] g[r]eek: try running dmesg | tail when that happens [11:10] maybe the recent kernel messages can tell you why it unmounts [11:10] ! [11:10] ActionParsnip, that's what I'm thinking too. I was hoping someone here could direct me to where it is lol. [11:10] mrcan: you can run: gksudo nautilus do what you need, then close the file browser [11:11] sugoruyo: After a wile have a great idea i want to do, but I know it will require a databate i think two, one where the usre can create and add too and the other the admin can add too or the usr can add too would you suggest anyting? [11:11] Snakkah: sudo find / -iname "*.ogg" maybe [11:11] there is a file in etc, i forget the name, i thing it deals with auth, there you can comment the required attribute then it wont ask [11:11] actionparsnip: i know that but its with root's settings i want do it with my normal user's settings [11:11] i have to google to find out the exact name [11:11] shcherbak: I would love something to program why? I would learn through Binary if you gave me the direction.... [11:11] slie: you'll also need to learn SQL, and find a RDBMS to suit your needs... [11:12] shcherbak: sorry i though you asked if i wanted to. yes i know a lot about JAVA and am finding Python is similar [11:12] anyone know how to add a device data in usb_modeswitch? [11:13] mrcan: not sure dude, considering the very small amount of times you will use it I wouldnt waste much effort on it [11:13] sugoruyo: what languages do you think i should learn with those? and how do you think i should get a kickstart i think that is all i need is a jumb so i can kinda get a feel to understand [11:14] slie: if you start from java or c or c#, you will stack on libraries and routines. First get to bash, awk and sed, powerfull, and let you put your ideas into action. Then mysql/php and etc... [11:14] %users ALL=NOPASSWD: / is that makes with all access? [11:14] in sudoers file [11:14] mrcan: i think you need to put (ALL) where you have / [11:15] not sure though [11:15] !sudoers | mrcan [11:15] !sudo [11:15] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [11:15] !visudo | mrcan [11:15] mrcan: using that will just mean the commands wont ask for password and will cripple system security [11:16] ActionParsnip: i dont care system security i need it for my works [11:16] ActionParsnip: password makes me slow [11:16] mrcan: be careful how you mess with that file, if you screw it up you will need to root recovery mode and undo your mess, basically its not worth it [11:16] mrcan: What work you do in root or /var or /etc ??? [11:17] when in doubt. back it up.... [11:17] shcherbak: So your saying learn the sorta Glue "fundementals" such as BASH before i learn something greater goods. [11:17] slie: it depends on what you want to program, if you want to do algorithms try them in C and python, if you want web stuff try PHP and MySQL, actually learn SQL anyway and C as well, try not to focus on the libraries that come along with these langs. rather get the concepts and logic behind them and get onto a new one, eventually you'll understand enough and a few of them will "click" with you [11:17] mrcan: yeah but anyone who has any sort of access even malicious javascript and flash anims will be able to do what they like, when they like [11:17] hi [11:17] :D [11:18] mrcan: so an attacker can easily read your email and copy your firefox passwords to access your stored passwords [11:18] mrcan: ActionParsnip is right it's basically godmode for every user [11:18] mrcan: especially if you have SSH your system is basically toast if you do that... [11:18] ActionParsnip: i understand your meaning but its not important for me, really! im not classic user dont worry about that [11:18] mrcan: and copy yur email store if you have one and use your account [11:18] mrcan: no, you clearly have no idea about what you are doing. Enjoy [11:19] * YankDownUnder learned that lesson back in the mid-90's - never never never use root. === Weazelsc is now known as Weazel [11:19] ActionParsnip: ahahha =) nevermatter all about security [11:19] sugoruyo: Ahh, you deffinatly think the way i think and i like it. I'm not so much worried about a complete program right now. I am more conserned about being able to something and understand if i wanted to all the way down to the machine. [11:20] * Dr_Willis hands mrcan a hammer to just bash his system to pieces with. [11:20] mrcan: when you identity is stolen and your bank account suddenly empties, give me a knock ok [11:20] mrcan: write script to "shorten your password" at login to "1" and put back on logout. You shall not get advice here how to cripple your system. [11:20] sugoruyo: I know how i can SQL but is there a way you can suggest to learn it. that is my only problem with SQL and XML is what do i apply it too? [11:20] You can set root to not even need a password to login :) [11:20] some people would rather a bit of convenience and rip their entire security from their system [11:21] mrcan: do you have a password on your email? [11:21] ActionParsnip: clamav, How do you use, or start up the program, or what do i type in???? [11:21] ActionParsnip: you could ask only for email.. [11:22] ActionParsnip: no :) [11:22] mrcan: wow, youo really are a lost soul [11:22] slie: SQL can be applied to just about anything with structured data, so can XML, as for learning SQL, it's easy to learn but not to use properly, don't worry about the language with SQL, instead learn the whole RDBMS concept, how to properly organize data, normalize your databases, there's a lot of theory in there [11:22] ActionParsnip: you can say it over pm [11:23] Eagle: use clamscan, or one of the front ends to clamav thats in the repos [11:23] mrcan: i dunno what to say, i'm completely overwhelmed [11:23] Eagle: install clamtk [11:23] !info clamtk [11:23] clamtk (source: clamtk): graphical front-end for ClamAV. In component universe, is optional. Version 4.26-1 (maverick), package size 200 kB, installed size 1116 kB [11:24] Dr_Willis; repos, Sorry i don't understand how to do that. === denny- is now known as denny [11:25] Eagle: sudo apt-get install clamtk [11:25] Eagle: install clamtk or other clam front ends.. use the package manager tools that is in the menus. [11:25] mrcan: having been rooted I *STRONGLY* advise against mucking about with root privileges, sudoers, and security in general without knowing *EXACTLY* what it is you're doing... you can both mess everything up and open up the system to an insane amount of threats (most of which will hit you like an anvil over the head) [11:25] Eagle: or use 'clamscan' in he terminal === Guest59235 is now known as ratc [11:26] I'm having an issue with the login screen in 10.10. It doesn't show when I bootup. As I have more than 1 user I need this to show. I only get a login screen after I hit the spacebar, at which point it prompts for the password of the first user [11:26] hi everyone, I wanna connect to a wifi access point manually (iwconfig, dhclient) but it doesn't work, but with nm-applet it it works, cat you help me do connect manually ? [11:26] Dr_Willis: Ok cool. but how do I comand it to scan a specific area? [11:26] Eagle: have you even ran clamscan yet? [11:27] Dr_Willis: Yes [11:27] did you notice it scanned stuff? [11:27] sor5 [11:27] sugoruyo: so my question is do i just create a fake database to practice with for SQL or xml is that how i learn it? If this is a Google question pleas just say google but what enviroment can i practice SQL or XML? [11:28] clamscan [options] [file/directory/-] [11:28] from 'man clamscan' === ogra_ is now known as ogra [11:29] Eagle: also run --> sudo freshclam every so often to update your virus definitions. [11:29] Dr_Willis: Please could you Pm me :-D [11:29] Eagle: youve allready been told the basics. [11:29] Eagle: sudo clamscan -r /home is fairly common [11:29] clamav-docs - anti-virus utility for Unix - documentation [11:30] klamav - KDE frontend for ClamAV [11:30] Hmm.. heres somthing new... [11:30] clamfs - user-space anti-virus protected file system [11:30] anyone know a reason why, when im using a printer on ubuntu, it keeps asking for a password everytime i print, no password has been set, and it never used to, its only started doing it the last few days [11:30] can anyone tell me of a gui program to check for bad blocks/check a harddrive? [11:31] Dr_Willis: its saying this Can't open file or directory [11:31] slie: we can't answer all your questions for you, you'll never learn that way, you'll also need to learn how to find stuff efficiently on the net, as for SQL just look up "mysql tutorials" with google and you'll find material to get you started [11:31] I have a 30 gig ipod that I can't get to work [11:31] mylisto: palimsest [11:31] hi all [11:31] mylisto: its in a standard ubuntu install [11:31] mylisto: called 'disk utility' in the system -> administration menu [11:33] sugoruyo: no problem i thank you for your info and i'm glad you put an end. I hope you believe me i will take everything you told me to heart and actually this is my first irc. i actually have a huge list of stuff too do and hopefully you see my work someday. [11:33] mylisto: fsck can do it in terminal. The partition will uneed to be unmounted to work === Freejack is now known as Guest75039 [11:33] Eagle: 'it' as in what is saying what? [11:33] Eagle: when in doubt give the exact command you are using. [11:34] sugoruyo: you should add me so we can chat real time if you would like [11:34] hello everybody once again, i connected my mobile phone and when i do dmes | fgrep acm i get ACM0 and ACM1 as reply but when i do wvdial the phone modem is not responding [11:34] anyone having idea why? [11:35] Dr_Willis:" sudo clamscan -r /home " "LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddb(): No supported database files found in /var/lib/clamav/ [11:35] ERROR: Can't open file or directory" [11:36] trying to use disk utility to delete the partition on this 30gig Ipod and it wont [11:36] Eagle, there is a front end for clamav, it will easy your task pls [11:36] mylisto: try with gparted [11:36] !ipod [11:36] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [11:37] kuttans_: front end?

[11:38] jonas__: yes I think I have [11:38] jonas__: a long time ago in a galaxy far far away i did some stuff with imagemagick [11:38] jonas__, yes. ask a real question [11:38] Eagle: klamav - KDE frontend for ClamAV [11:38] I have problem with resolution in backtrack ! [11:38] Eagle: install clamtk or other clam front ends. [11:38] mah454, then join their support channel [11:38] haha right, real simple.. how do i save the images i resize in a new folder? [11:39] Dr_Willis: any idea on my question, i mean connecting mobile phone and using it as a modem [11:39] kuttans_: personally i 'tether' my pc to my smartphone over wireless... [11:39] kuttans_: im not using it as a modem.. im using it as an 'access point' [11:39] bazhang OK [11:39] bazhang I have problem with screen on backtrack Linux ! [11:40] Dr_Willis: my phone when connected via a usb cable is getting identified as a ttyACM0 [11:40] mah454, since backtrack is not supported here, go to their channel [11:40] kuttans_: means nothing to me. I dont do it that way. [11:40] jonas__: if you use convert « convert -geometry ... image_orig.jpg path/to/newfolder/image_resized.jpg » [11:40] !backtrack | mah454 [11:40] mah454: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [11:40] the knetworkmanager and the networking manager in gnome sometimes shows it as a modem and get connected successfully [11:40] jonas__: "mogrify" modifies the original image [11:40] erUSUL ahh okay, thanks a bunch [11:41] Thank You :) [11:41] but sometimes they dont identify, what may be the reason, am i just making some mistake or overlooking something which is very basic or it is a problem [11:41] kuttans_: phones often have tobe in a specific mode to allow data, or 'usb storage' modes [11:43] yeah i read that, actually when i plugin my phone both gnome and kde look it as a camera and mount it. in kde it shows as a imaging device and in gnome it shows with a name of samsung blah blah [11:43] but the interesting thing is that i can not open it anyway as both kde and gnome will give an error saying unable to access [11:43] kuttans: the ipod doesn't show up with gparted, but shows up via disk utility [11:44] kuttans_: if my phone is in 'data' mode - it does not show up as usb storage. Yours may differ. [11:44] but before after some settle time it used to show in the nm of both, but not it stopped completely, how can i get it back, im totally blank about how to use usb_modeswitch, [11:44] mylisto: there is some thing need to be done for ipod i read somewhere but not remembering exactly, try googling, [11:45] yah mine is a samsung, and i have a setting in my phone to use kies, memory and media player [11:45] so when i keep it in kies it usually was working but intermittantly, like now its not working, whereas day before it was working [11:45] kuttans_: can you try to remember the search terms? [11:46] formatting ipod with gparted + i guess [11:46] or using mac fs with gparted [11:51] hi [11:51] [11:52] Dr_Willis: I did It...:-D :-D :-D === joerg is now known as Guest94304 [11:53] hi all, i have a question and i looked online and i can't figure it out, but how do i run memtest? im using 10.10 version [11:53] GhostWolf: choose it in the grub menu on boot [11:53] GhostWolf: should be at the initial grub menu screens, or boot the cd and select it from there [11:54] ok i don't see it on either Dr_Willis, when i boot to the cd it gives option to test or install first and in grub i don't see that as well if thats the menu where you can go into safe mode [11:56] I have problem with resolution ! help me ... [11:57] mah454: if you asre uaing backtrack - then we cant help you.. I suggest using Normal Ubuntu. [11:57] Ok . Backtrack is Ubuntu base . not problem ... [11:57] Dr_Willis, on the grub menu again if its the one where you select to log into safe mode i only get these 4 options. Recovery Console, Ubuntu Desktop Edition, Ubutntu Desktop Edition (Safe Mode), and User Defined Session [11:58] <`violetstreak> <3 Backtrack === rat7 is now known as ratco [11:58] GhostWolf: perhaps boot a live cd.. i recall the option being on there also. [11:58] mah454: it is a problem.. its not ubuntu... [11:58] mah454: you could go chck the ubuntu forums if you wanted to. [11:58] Dr_Willis, i did that as i said before it only gave me the option of testing or installing with the language on the left side [11:59] GhostWolf: I think theres some extra menu items when you hit space when theres a little man at the bottom of the screen. [12:01] Dr_Willis, you mean on the login screen? i see that but it doesn't give me anything but Universal Access Prefrences [12:01] Dr_Willis, and when i select that theres nothing about memtest === rat is now known as Guest21967 [12:02] Dr_Willis, aslo i don't know if it this makes a difference but im using the 64bit of 10.10 === Look is now known as Guest57190 [12:02] GhostWolf: i recall very early in the boot cd process theres a man/logo at the bottom. beor you get asked anything.. its like a man and a keyboard.. if you hit space or enter or somthing.. it takes you to an advanced settings screen === Guest57190 is now known as ___________xD === Guest21967 is now known as ratc [12:03] Dr_Willis, oh that ok i did see that. ok i'll try that. i'll try both space button or enter sorry missunderstood you about the man logo [12:05] OpenOffice can be made to open a file read-only (from the file open dialogue). Is it possible to add a context-menu item to do this? i.e. right-click on a file in nautilus, "open with openoffice spreadsheet (readonly)" [12:05] Can any one help with this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10367418 - thanks [12:07] g[r]eek: can you get the end of the output of dmesg when the drive disappears? it sounds like it could be a power issue. is the drive bus powered or does it have its own PSU? [12:07] ne2k: sure, the commandline seems to be: openoffice -view filename [12:07] jrib: but how would I add a context menu item? [12:07] ne2k: right click -> properties -> open with -> custom app (i'm recalling this from memory so the buttons may be named differently) === sigurd is now known as Guest93546 [12:08] ne2k, I'm not sure what you mean, but it is an external enclosure that houses a standard SATA drive. The external enclosure is then plugged into the laptop via a USB cable. And the enclosure is then also plugged into my wall socket via an adapter. [12:08] ne2k, also the power is still on (the external's light is still on and I can hear the hard drive is still spinning - ie: the rate of spinning doesn't seem to slow down / stop). [12:09] g[r]eek: and are you using the wall adapter that came with the caddy? === aknm is now known as monk [12:09] g[r]eek: did you try looking at the kernel logs as soon as it happens? [12:09] ne2k, yes, the original [12:09] sugoruyo, could you please teach me how to do that. I can paste the output here [12:09] g[r]eek: then it is unlikely to be a power problem. it could still be a faulty usb socket or cable. can you try a different socket? [12:09] on a pastebin [12:10] g[r]eek: just type "dmesg" at the command line. the last few lines should have something abotu USB disconnect [12:10] ne2k, do you mean try a different USB port on my laptop? [12:10] ok, just want to tell something [12:10] Does any on want to challange me with programming? [12:10] g[r]eek: yes, a different USB port. [12:10] I was facing an issue for a long time [12:10] !ot | slie [12:10] slie: #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! [12:10] ne2k, ok I will try it and let you know if the problem recurs [12:10] when I delete a file using the del key in keyboard, it used to take a lot of time to delete [12:10] slie: yes, write a memoized factorial function in perl in two minutes. [12:11] today, I disabled some firefox plugins, and now that issue no more persists, GOOD LUCK :D [12:11] dr0id: that just moves it to trash so it should be instant... [12:11] I know [12:11] g[r]eek: like i said earlier, dmesg | tail [12:11] hi gobbe , are you there? [12:11] but I was facing this issue for a long time jrib [12:11] on kde [12:11] g[r]eek: do that as soon as you notice it [12:11] I had asked for a solution here, but no one could help [12:11] today I disabled firefox plugins and it's deleting quickly again [12:12] also try #ubuntu-gr assuming you are greek [12:12] am no greek, sorry [12:12] sugoruyo: that's a stupid suggestion [12:12] sugoruyo, ne2k: Ok I have just plugged it into a different USB port. If it works then I know it was the other USB port that was faulty. If it breaks again then I'll check dmesg as you suggest and let you guys know. Thanks in the mean time :) [12:12] dr0id: i was talking to g[r]eek [12:12] cool [12:12] hi all, i had some issues with my external hdd. it cannot be mounted in ubuntu, so i was told to go back to windows and run CHKDSK. it stopped halfway. and now i cannot even eject it safely. i cannot even see my files inside the disk [12:12] g[r]eek: cool beans [12:13] Hi, Im trying to make a command global, when I put a symbolic link in /usr/bin, the command is global, but it looks for files in the /usr/bin directory instead of its native directory [12:13] ne2k, "cool beans"? You must be south african1? [12:13] my $factorial =1: [12:13] ne2k: why is it stupid, maybe something crashes/hangs and there's something in the kernel messages to help debug it [12:13] please advise. there are important files inside my hdd [12:13] Zeu5: firstly, you don't mound a disk, you mount a partition. what is the type of the partition? === Inumedia__ is now known as Inumedia [12:13] $factorial *=$+foreach 1..1000: [12:13] sugoruyo: I was referring to your suggestion to try #ubuntu-gr. g[r]eek can obviously speak English perfectly well, and there is always more help available in this channel than in the language-specific ones [12:13] ne2k, my external hdd is using nTFS [12:14] Zeu5: it does sound a little bit like it's buggered [12:14] gz0: make a script in /usr/bin that cd's to the proper dir. then runs the command. [12:14] gz0: fix your application :) Or add its directory to your PATH. 2 questions: 1) what exactly do you mean by "global"? 2) What app is this? [12:14] my $factorial *=$_foreach 1..1000; [12:14] ne2k: so what shd i do? i am quite upset :( [12:14] sugoruyo, ne2k: yes English is fine, but thanks. [12:15] slie: you failed [12:15] hello everyone! how would i deal with a program that depends on the ~/.Xauthority file (which isn't there in 10.10 according to 'echo $XAUTHORITY')? [12:15] Dr_Willis: Im not sure how to do this, Ive tried a few tutorials, but I still have to type ./myfile or sh myfile [12:15] gz0: 3 line script.. #!/bin/bash cd /path/to/run/from ./thecommand [12:16] ne2k: How then, thank you [12:16] Dr_Willis: ahh I was using echo... [12:16] Zeu5: you need to see if you can get it fixed in windows first [12:16] gz0: echo? err... time to read some bash tutorials... [12:16] Zeu5: which is something we can't help you with here [12:16] slie: did you even actually try to run that? === sigurd_ is now known as Guest52573 [12:16] Dr_Willis: aye, thx for the help [12:16] ne2k: i see. i cannot even eject it safely. [12:17] hey! just for learn.. i wanna knwo how do for user www-data run Vbox commands? i'm trying do a virtualbox web manager. [12:17] ne2k: oh ok, i was just suggesting a channel where assuming g[r]eek is actually greek, or is comfortable speaking greek we can use our native language [12:18] ne2k:No I will end my questinos with that and come back when i actually need it. Thank you NE2K for showing me my self to leave!!1! [12:18] htorque: is xauth installed? I'm isung 10.10 and have the variable set [12:18] any ideas? [12:18] Zeu5: if the drive is not being accessed, i.e. the light is not flickering and it is not making a chattering sound, then it should be fairly safe to just unplug it. you don't have any choice by the sounds of it [12:18] can someone tell me the best way to install the drivers for my Nvidia 9500gt in 10.10? [12:18] Zeu5: I would do that, power the whole system off and on again, boot into safe mode in windows and try check disk again [12:19] ne2k: i think i am going to unplug it and get a friend to recover the files [12:19] hi, i got my gnome login screen in 10.04 messed up. How do I restore it default? [12:19] Zeu5: yes, try a known-good, clean copy of windows, that's a good ideas [12:19] !gmd [12:19] schnuffle: the variable is set, but it's no longer "~/.Xauthority" [12:19] so i need to shutdown in rder to unplug it safely? [12:19] !gdm [12:19] c0nsense: you can setup sudo to give wwwrun the rights to run some commands under a different id [12:19] Zeu5: well. like I said, if the disk isn't being accessed, it should do it any harm just to pull it out. but if you can make windows shut down, then it would definitely be safe [12:20] hi. any extensions for chrome/firefox for content-filtering? [12:20] Zeu5: well, as safe as it can ever be. there is no guarantee your drive isn't already b0rked [12:20] okie. ne2k [12:20] Petein: firefox has bajizillions+ of extensions.. check the ff extension site [12:20] Petein: search their respective extension repositories [12:20] schnuffle: how? [12:20] Petein: it all depends on the details [12:21] I've got an idea for ubuntu [12:21] where would I say about it... [12:21] sugoruyo, ne2k: I shall leave this channel for now as it is quite busy. If the error occurs I'll come back with the dmesg output. If you don't hear from me in the next couple of hours then the different USB port fixed the problem. Thanks and cheers. === ubuntu-geek is now known as shashi859 [12:22] christhecoolboy: launchpad.net/ubuntu [12:22] its about a website [12:22] that could be part of ubuntu [12:22] anyone know a reason why, when im using a printer on ubuntu, it keeps asking for a password everytime i print, no password has been set, and it never used to, its only started doing it the last few days [12:22] if it already isnt [12:22] christhecoolboy: don't use carriage return as punctuation [12:22] AdvoWork: is it a network printer? [12:23] ne2k, nope, not networked [12:24] AdvoWork: it's a local printer? on usb? [12:24] ne2k, yeah its a usb printer, all was working fine so dont know whats happened [12:24] my idea was that we have a help thing for ubuntu and tech related things using this: http://www.osqa.net/ [12:25] AdvoWork: that is weird. have you tried deleting the printer and re-adding? (lol, it sounds like Windows) [12:25] ne2k, no, just because it was a pain getting it working in the first place lol [12:26] christhecoolboy: ubuntu uses launchpad, which seems to do the trick [12:26] I mean, a general help thing [12:26] so people can ask things [12:26] and get a responce [12:26] from the publoc [12:26] bye [12:26] *public [12:27] christhecoolboy: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+addquestion [12:28] christhecoolboy: http://askubuntu.com/ [12:30] and the ubuntu forums.. and here of course.. [12:34] hey guys, the a2enmod command, does that enable a module for apache permanently? [12:34] or is it just for the session (until reboot?) === shcherbak is now known as publoc [12:35] nVee: permanently [12:37] great, thanks! [12:37] what is lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions this message? [12:38] it's appeared when i run the apache2 by service apache2 start [12:38] it's thousand of lines === publoc is now known as shcherbak [12:39] sangho: not sure it's specific because of Apache. I see it all the time in the systems log [12:40] and I don't run apache :) [12:40] hey im kitcat [12:40] tobier, you don't find any solution to prevent that message? i think it's not normal [12:41] sangho: I've been seeing it on other distributions as well, I figure that it is normal [12:42] but why it's not appear in my ubuntu desktop? [12:42] have you check /var/log/messages? [12:42] I see it there many times [12:42] sangho: you could rearch that (like any) log entry if you think is abnormal. [12:42] yes i have checked [12:42] I have a bunch of archives from a windows user, z01-z0* and a final .zip. I was told to concatenate them, but when I do that, I can only extract one out of three of the files in the archive. It's twice the size of each part, so I know it wasn't just one part working. [12:43] *more than twice [12:43] veovis_muaddib: with RARs I just extract the .rar (did you try just unzip file.zip?) [12:43] tobier, my server's log is thoudsand of lines. is that reallynormal? [12:44] jrib: Yeah, multifile support is "coming" but it expects them to be concatenated. (unzip says that while working in fact) [12:44] sangho: it depends on what all of those thousands of lines are saying :) [12:44] sangho: depends on your log level, services and a lot of ther things [12:44] so..how can i see detail log? [12:45] !log [12:45] Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [12:45] veovis_muaddib: you read « man unzip »? First hit on a search for "split" gives a zip command to compbine multi-part archives [12:45] sangho: have a look in /var/log [12:45] sangho: I wouldn't worry about it, it's some form of kernel setting I believe for the loopback interface [12:45] sangho: if you're worried, google it [12:46] [12:46] my name is kitcat [12:46] welcome kitcat [12:46] veovis_muaddib: it's not just a simple concatenation apperently [12:48] jrib: Yeah, I've tried that, it's not working for me [12:48] veovis_muaddib: what did you try exactly? There are 2 suggestions [12:48] sangho: 1 minute response time: http://old.nabble.com/lo%3A-Disabled-Privacy-Extensions-td26630008.html [12:48] Anyone know how to disable the check for updates which sometimes occur when logging in via ssh? [12:48] hey are u jason-in-colorad do u PEE in ur pants [12:49] i have see that [12:49] kitcat, wrong channel, inappropriate [12:49] This is agrivating. I kept the archives because I figured they'd be smaller, but I never tried on linux and now I only have linux. jrib I tried the -F option, I don't see another suggestion in that thread [12:49] Unless it's a different one [12:50] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1418104 jrib [12:50] veovis_muaddib: what version of ubuntu are you using? Maverick uses zip 3.x which that suggestion is not for. Read the man page :/ [12:50] do i know u in real life bazhang [12:50] !ot | kitcat [12:50] kitcat: #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! [12:51] sangho: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lo/use_tempaddr this should give -1 or 0 [12:51] yes is -1 [12:51] veovis_muaddib: man page is better than forum posts. Just type: man unzip/split5k [12:52] sangho: set it to 0, as said in post. [12:52] but it's not difference as said in post [12:52] do u know me YES or NO awnser me NOW [12:53] kitcat, take chat elsewhere please [12:54] i got something. it's appeared when i connect to ftp or ssh [12:54] witam testuje [12:54] hello, anyone has experience with scalpel? [12:54] Hey, I am having trouble with rhythmbox in 10.10. I used to be able to open somafm .pls files with it, but currently it just shuts down when I try to. [12:54] ispirto: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [12:55] jrib: That explains it. I was searching the man page, but I never used enter in less before, and I didn't look through the bugs section... [12:55] veovis_muaddib: you /TERM will search and n and N will navigate to next and previous search hits, really useful [12:55] s/you/yeah [12:56] jrib: Ah, nice [12:56] jrib, i'm trying to recover deleted files, but these files are mysql files, .frm, .MYI, .MYD. scalpel works with identifying header and footer bytes, how can i get the header and footer bytes of these files [12:56] Help ! I am ircing from a phone. My laptops hdd is freezing when it boots. Grub is not loading. But i can read the drive. I need to reinstall grub. How ? I have the laptop booted with a live cd. [12:57] ispirto: I don't know, but that's the question you should ask the channel :) [12:57] ispirto, you'll be lucky to recover the whole files, they have their own internal locking/integrity mechanisms [12:57] !grub2 | Unknown0BC1 [12:57] Unknown0BC1: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [12:58] sangho: or maybe just disable ipv6? [12:58] DeadPanda, i know, do you know how to get the header and footer bytes [12:58] of a file [12:58] shcherbak, how can i do that? [12:58] i used cat file.frm, i see chars but they are encoded [12:59] ispirto, well, that's it; it's binary data [12:59] sangho: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu-1004.html (should have share in they ads income) [12:59] ispirto, you may find http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/MySQL_Internals_File_Formats helpful [12:59] shcherbak, thank you [13:00] sangho: in /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lo/use_tempaddr try also 1, apart of 0. [13:01] okay [13:02] sangho: after moment, maybe your network is not configured like it should be? [13:04] DeadPanda, forexample it uses \xca\xfe\xba\xbe for java as header bytes [13:04] do you know can i change binary to this format [13:04] shcherbak, error is still appear [13:05] ispirto, that's just hex, if you read the page I linked, running hexdump would achieve that [13:06] hey im back [13:07] DeadPanda, i see, so forexample for frm file, it should be /xfe/x01 right? [13:07] ispirto, are you trying to discover the 'magic number' for .frm type files? [13:07] DeadPanda, yes [13:07] also for myd and myi [13:08] sangho: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/590537/comments/13 ...still working [13:08] a good pattern _might_ be FE 01 ** ** 03 00 (where ** is a wildcard) [13:09] Hey! Is anybody here? [13:09] the chances of that pattern occurring randomly at the start of a file are relatively low [13:09] DeadPanda, i don't think i can use wildcards :/ [13:09] ispirto, for the rest of them have a look at the documentation for the MYD and MYI file formats, it'll be somewhere on the MySQL site [13:09] ispirto, well, try FE 01, but I think you'll get a bit of noise [13:09] Oh, cool, someone's here, cause my Empathy does not show the contact list [13:11] ge2x: are you signed in? [13:11] hey all [13:11] yeah, sorr, it just was a matter of UI [13:11] i deleted some files without removing them via apt [13:11] now i can't remove it [13:11] am i bollocksed? [13:12] ge2x: also btw there are always people here [13:12] hrhrhr: just remove them from apt now [13:12] sangho: do you fun ftp or vsftpd or some kind of shares? [13:12] hrhrhr: depends on what you did. [13:12] i installed opsview [13:13] then decided i didn't want it on this box [13:13] shcherbak, vsftpd [13:13] remove didn't immediately work so i rm'd a ton of stuff [13:13] now i need the agent to install [13:13] and it wont, because half the other shit is still there [13:13] sangho: some saying what this is service responsible. [13:14] Hi, i have a nfs-volume mounted under /nfsmount. I think one process was there before the volume was mounted and still writes to the local dir, not the nfs-share. How can i look in the local dir without unmounting the nfs-volume? [13:14] sangho: middle of page: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/PqQ0R1hoqzsMsts6P60Y [13:14] trukosh: Hmm... never noticed a way to do that.. [13:15] ispirto, the information you need is in http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/MySQL_Internals_MyISAM - I'm sure you can figure out a good pattern [13:15] trukosh: perhaps via some exporeing of /proc/ [13:16] hello there [13:16] DeadPanda, it seems i can use wildcard [13:16] i need apt to believe this prog is gone. tried dkpg -r --force too. no joy [13:16] is there anyone here that knows a good bit about ubuntu and could lend me an ear? [13:16] hrhrhr: perhaps reinstall it.. then remove it properly. [13:17] derek1: state the issue.. [13:17] ispirto, even better :) [13:17] hi everybody [13:17] well, i am completely unable to get any progress with my video card driver [13:17] it wont reinstall either [13:17] someone can tell me how can i move the task bar for bellow my window to the top of my second screen? [13:18] i am using karmic 9.10, i have a radeon 9200 card, there are no drivers listed in the hardware drivers [13:18] so all of the online solutions have been useless [13:19] derek1: some reason you are not using 10.04? or 10.10 ? [13:19] shcherbak, so.. it is known problem? [13:19] i use vsftpd.. and 10.04 [13:19] and it is installed from apt-get [13:19] osmosis_paul: alt then click on a 'empty' part of the panel, and drag it around. to move the panel [13:19] derek1 use a mo recent distro === jean-claude is now known as noupy [13:20] current distros make my videos unwatchable [13:20] sangho: known... well, solution is http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2010/07/msg00916.html [13:20] Over at #windows they're discussing Linux - great! [13:20] 10.04 and 10.10 made every video file i have useless [13:20] derek1: For older ATI cards you may need to use the open source driver, not fglrx. [13:20] derek1: how vague... [13:21] derek1: use latest mesa... [13:21] i knew someone was going to say that, and i have tried and tried, with no progress [13:21] Dr_Willis, thank you so much [13:21] nothing i have found so far led me to a solution [13:21] i have installed, uninstalled, reinstalled [13:21] shcherbak, where is it ?? [13:22] derek1: ...and get driconf [13:22] mesa? [13:22] DeadPanda, it says "to match any single character (aka a wildcard) use [13:22] # a '?'." [13:22] good luck getting older cards to work in 10.10 [13:22] should i use one ? for each wildcard? [13:22] well, use one ? for each byte [13:22] or ??? for \x01 forexample [13:22] i tried both drivers the other day and was fed a lolburger [13:22] derek1: but you dident try changeing any actual settings? what was the actual video playback issue under 10.04+ ? [13:23] one byte = \x01 ? [13:23] ispirto, no, use one ?, \x01 is a single character too, just encoded in hexadecimal [13:23] oh ok [13:23] sangho: shut down "faulty" service, in your caes vsftpd [13:23] so i'll use \xfe\x01??\x03\x00 [13:23] i turned down my graphics, i went through all of the faq's and walkthroughs on the website and eventually decided to revert to 9.10 [13:23] you means.. change ftp daemon? [13:23] asdf [13:24] ispirto, yup [13:24] only to find that my card is unsupported and i have no way to do anything that needs open gl [13:24] ok it's working.. [13:24] i hope i can save those files :/ [13:24] all i want to do is open a upnp server, and nothing works at all [13:24] sangho: yes [13:25] shcherbak, okay. do you have any recommend? i don't know any except vsftpd :( [13:25] why my video card effects anything that has to do with that is beyond me [13:25] ispirto, out of interest, what's the block size on the partition you're trying to recover from? (sudo dumpe2fs YOUR-DRIVE | grep 'Block size') [13:25] sangho: i do not do ftp at all. [13:25] ispirto, it seems .frm files can grow relatively large, if it spans multiple blocks you're not going to recover the whole file [13:25] okay. thanks to look at me. shcherbak [13:25] i thought ubuntu was excellent until i tried to set up a media server and get drivers [13:26] ispirto, and forget about recovering the MYD and MYI files, that's not going to happen (unless there's extant inode information available) [13:26] sangho: pure-ftpd or proftpd are the ones commonly used [13:26] okay [13:26] DeadPanda, it's 4096 [13:26] hmm can i just recover the table structure from frm files? [13:26] i dont need the data or indexes [13:26] ispirto, of course, but where's the data? [13:26] is there a ppa i should use for firefox beta 4? [13:27] ispirto, it's scattered randomly in blocks around your drive, unlikely to be contiguous [13:27] ispirto, if these files are super important, you may want to hard-stop the machine, pull out the drive and either forensically analyse it yourself [13:27] well then, thanks. tiny xp it is then [13:27] ispirto, or give it to a professional data-recovery team [13:27] ispirto, (and make backups next time) [13:27] does the nvidia quadro NV 3100 works properly on ubuntu? [13:27] DeadPanda, well, they have my 2 hours of work [13:27] derek1: instead of mouning, visit mesa project site. [13:27] ispirto, it'll take you > 2 hours to recover them [13:27] not extremely urgent === alexi\ is now known as alexi [13:28] DeadPanda, everytime i reinstall ubuntu, i always forget something [13:28] this time the database files [13:28] pedronveloso: define "properly" [13:28] ispirto, heh === alexi is now known as alexi_ [13:29] DeadPanda, but the weirdest thing is when i use phpmyadmin i can see very old tables there [13:29] tobier: if I get 3D acceleration and/or composition. I've one on my new laptop, and even after installing the nvidia drivers, when I do glxinfo I get this: Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig [13:29] like from 6-7 months ago [13:29] p [13:29] but not the recent ones [13:29] hey [13:29] how much fREE is linux >? [13:29] and the data folder is empty [13:30] ogo0p, 100% [13:30] ispirto, are you sure that's on the same machine? [13:30] pedronveloso: is the card supported by the nvidia drivers? [13:30] ogo0p: vanilla linux is 100% free [13:30] yeah, this is the desktop i use [13:30] i want strawberry+choco [13:30] !manual | ogo0p have a read [13:30] ogo0p have a read: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [13:30] can emulate that in vanilla ? [13:30] hey [13:30] using WINE [13:31] Hi. Is there a FLAC front end for Ubuntu? I can only find the command line one in the repository [13:31] tobier: in the ofitial website there are ofitial drivers, with the same version numbering as the ones I installed from official repo, so I assume so [13:31] Guys, which package provides /bin/arch ? [13:31] <3 <3 <3 [13:31] ispirto, strange, something's amiss, and I'm guessing it's not phpmyadmin pulling data from nowhere [13:31] Leman_Russ, flac is a format [13:31] Yeah, I know [13:31] i got windows xp lite and phone for everyday tasks. [13:31] I want something to extract the .wav from inside [13:31] want to run heavy win 7 games in linux [13:31] 10GB games [13:31] a GUI decoder [13:32] Leman_Russ, a converter? [13:32] 10gb is heavy? [13:32] Leman_Russ, you can use ffmpeg or mencoder for that (command line) [13:32] ogo0p: Is there a question in there? [13:32] pedronveloso: I can direct you to: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia, but as I don't use that card I can't be more of a help, sorry [13:32] GordianKnot.RipPack.0.35.0.Setup.2 extracts wavs from movies [13:32] Leman_Russ, try VLC too, that can transcode fairly easily, and there's a GUI [13:32] hi guys. any player that can stram videos via dlna? [13:32] 10GB is not BiG for winw emu ? [13:33] ogo0p: mplayer too [13:33] i have been trying that myself dnd [13:33] Will that be able to extract the wav inside, like I can do in Windows. [13:33] I want to put the wavs on my ipod [13:33] ogo0p: I'm not sure WINE is such a great solution for gaming. but that is my opninion :) [13:33] tobier: yeah, I been there too. somehow it doesn't seem to work, don't know why (well, kind of do, GPUs and linux haven't been close friends hehe) [13:33] ipod dont play flac [13:33] tobier: anyhow, thanks [13:33] hello [13:33] derek1 what player did you use? [13:33] mediatomb just gives me an error message saying it's busy like the webpage is down [13:33] pedronveloso: is it a fairly modern card? it might just not be properly supported yet :) [13:33] DeadPanda, when i install phpmyadmin by apt-get, it creates a databse for itself [13:33] hey [13:33] shcherbak, error is disappeared. thank you [13:33] after installing in my Laptop another wireless card [13:33] no direct converter to convert .rpm-.exe ? [13:33] i guess it's backuping the table infos there [13:34] kitcat, did you have a support question? [13:34] ogo0p why converting rpm to exe? [13:34] after installing in my Laptop another wireless card "ifconfig -a" shows only wlan0 device, "eth0" is missing! Please help, how to restore my Wired interface ? [13:34] no why [13:34] :/ [13:34] i mean .exe to .rpm [13:34] ogo0p: do you think oyu can play games just because of that? [13:34] .rpm is linux file rite ? [13:34] kitcat, this is support only. #ubuntu-offtopic for chat [13:34] ogo0p: it's more complicated than that [13:34] and ubuntu is a linux rite ? [13:35] sangho: happy it works, you could post comments on web to confirm it, include kernel version [13:35] ogo0p: yes, but you can't run windows software in Linux [13:35] ogo0p windows and linux hav different structures its not like converting mp3 to wav [13:35] okay [13:35] ogo0p: without some sort of emulation [13:35] hgjprhygedfjkjaljfj [13:36] oh you can use wine or cedega if i remember it correctly so you can use your exe files [13:36] ogo0p: boot into windows when you want to game, that's what I do [13:36] is anyone talkining to me [13:36] no just asking === boolean__ is now known as boolean [13:36] i have found the best way to run windows programs is to have a side by side install of windows [13:36] dont want to isntall all this now [13:37] Is this the right place to ask a launchpad openid question? [13:37] derek1: nonsens [13:37] ogo0p: well, if you're set on gaming on Linux, then try WINE or Cedega [13:37] DiagonalArg: #launchpad would be better [13:37] i got fedora.iso ubuntu.iso redhat.iso mandrake.iso [13:37] Thanks, Pici! [13:37] how to run those in VMplayer ? [13:37] why is that nonsense? to run a program in its intended environs? [13:37] dont know how to use vm player [13:37] by the way does steam offers linux support on some games? or only win and mac? [13:38] it reads only .vmdk files [13:38] not .iso [13:38] ogo0p, there is no such thing as mandrake any longer, and this is ubuntu support. try #vbox [13:38] mandrake linux failed ?

Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [13:39] ogo0p your best bet if you want to stay away from windows is to install cedega [13:39] can anyone help me set up a upnp server without mediatomb, or a thousand command lines? [13:40] Can anyone hear me? :-) [13:40] ogo0p: http://www.easyvmx.com/ [13:40] mmo|: no [13:40] mmo|: :) [13:40] ok [13:40] tobier: damn! [13:40] derek1: fisrt to run windows instalation instead of wine instalation do not helps wine at all, second you need to install ubuntu on ntfs, which is bad. [13:40] how does linux teach hacking ? [13:40] mmo|: :D [13:40] hey guys, is there a way to drag and drop archive files (rar,zip) and to display in the menu like Winrar's behavior - extrat here , extract to folder etc ? [13:40] ogo0p: that's not a proper question [13:40] how can I check if composite is functioning? Xorg.0.log says it was enabled, but desktop effects don't work [13:40] ogo0p, it does not [13:40] ogo0p: hacking is a vague and meaningless term these days. [13:41] yes [13:41] ogo0p: follow th source, Luke. [13:41] nah, the reason was, I was wondering why no one answers this question: [13:41] Anyone know how to disable the check for updates which sometimes occur when logging in via ssh? [13:41] Is it not possible? [13:41] maybe i was not specific enough, but my ubuntu is on one hd and my windows is on another [13:41] derek1 try xbmc [13:41] mmo|: you mean the message about there being '10 available updates' ? [13:42] Dr_Willis: yes! [13:42] mmo|: menu, start up application. [13:42] mmo|: its part of the MOTD scripts/configs [13:42] ogo0p hacking no, security yes [13:42] see, i tried setting that up but i can't find anything i downloaded [13:42] mmo|: if you dont want to see the MOTD do a 'touch .hushlogin' and you shouldent see them any more [13:42] as far as i know all are teaching security not hacking [13:42] Dr_Willis: so it's actually part of MOTD?

[14:06] by default it takes a normal driver which I am getting stero sound only [14:07] They say in instructions step 1 . Backup the Config.in and Makefile in the sound driver directory (/usr/src/linux/driver/sound).

[14:14] oCean, ? [14:14] shcherbak, yes [14:14] -11 would mean the app is getting more cpu then most apps.

[14:15] the headphone works anyway [14:15] john38: don't ask *me*, ask the channel. (give details, steps taken, results so far etc all in one line) [14:15] do you have to do anything special after installing linux modules backports compat wireless when enabling network connections [14:15] kamakoti, not my intention to sound rude but you really should read about handling linux itself on a basic level before trying to install a driver or something like that [14:16] Dwade09: well, are you using metacity or compiz (do you have effect enabled)? [14:16] how can i test the microphone?? not working for skype [14:16] yes it says copy this file === Look is now known as Guest39831 [14:17] shcherbak, no [14:18] hi i want to change one icon in my apllet notification area, is that possible?

[14:38] szpreader: right click to modify the panel [14:38] Dwade09: how do you know that it does transfer? [14:39] ive never had somthing i black listed come back. I guess some program COULD be manually loading the module if not seen. [14:39] Dr_Willis, do you have a pointer for a how-to or a specific man-page I can read? [14:39] john38: atheos?

So this was kind of strange. I recently ran my updates via Update Manager, as is standard. Well, when I rebooted one time recently - my computer came up in Natty Narwhal (Alpha 1 version). Then, when I shut down and turned it on again - it reverted back to Maverick Meerkat. I'm like, "Jigga what?" Can anyone explain this? [14:41] Dr_Willis, for me it's my wired ethernet in my laptop. It is physically broken so I use the wireless exclusively. It's not critical, the laptop works fine with it enabled I'm just being picky about not seeing eth0 in my System > Administration > Network Tools list [14:41] headkase314: may be that the module gets loaded in early boot from initrd. or as request of another module ( something blacklist can't help ) [14:41] Dwade09: sudo apt-get install iotop && iotop -o [14:42] kanhiya, i don't know what you're trying to do, have you found it? is it full? [14:42] Dwade09: tell me if you see any io activity. [14:42] erUSUL, which file would I edit to blacklist as early in the boot process as possible?

Clearly something corrupted my Master boot record and the boot record on my windows partition. What could have done that ? [16:09] Unknown0BC, How old is the hdd? They typically only last ~7 years.

[16:38] ryanf_109, X draws things on the screen, gnome is a Desktop Environment. It uses X to draw menus and such [16:38] i have a server with two hard disks, first one have openSUSE 11.1 and in second and new (1TB) i has installed Ubuntu 10.10.... ....first it's was booting well but after instalation of Ubuntu just boot by GRUB; How i can't fix it for boot from first HD (OpenSUSE) again? [16:38] Lunar_Lampscreenlets might do that [16:38] tiany, it goes back to the last one used [16:39] i have a server with two hard disks, first one have openSUSE 11.1 and in second and new (1TB) i has installed Ubuntu 10.10.... ....first it's was booting well but after instalation of Ubuntu just boot by GRUB; How i can't fix it for boot from first HD (OpenSUSE) again? [16:39] ryanf_109, X is lower level than gnome [16:39] edbian, thanks. So X has nothing to do with managing the actual windows? [16:39] LunaVorax: gconf-editor? [16:39] shcherbak assosiation ? [16:39] hi there, i want to do apt pinning on some package bu i cannot find /etc/apt/preferences file there is a folder preferences.d but it is empty how can i do that with which config file, i'm using maverick [16:40] can someone please tell how to restore the original theme 10.10 has? [16:40] shcherbak, yeah... and... ? [16:40] ryanf_109, Technically no [16:40] no transparency themes ... [16:40] they are very hard to find [16:40] ryanf_109, aside that it draws them ;) === pullo is now known as lexsyn [16:40] edbian, ok thanks. Does it draw anything for any other program other than gnome? [16:40] guest: yes, when you issue essid with ifconfig. [16:40] ryanf_109, It draws everything [16:40] I am currently replacing a failing hard drive, and have my 10.04 /home partition backed up. [16:41] LunaVorax: apps>nautilus>desktop [16:41] Do you guys think I should take the opportunity to upgrade to 10.10, or should I stick with 10.04? [16:41] edbian, ok. And what is passed to it, and what does it do with this information? Sorry If I'm confusing. === plasma is now known as Guest27657 [16:41] i'de stick with 10.04 [16:41] shcherbak iwconfig or ifconfig? [16:41] I like the LTS idea, don't really care to upgrade/reinstall every six months (except in cases like this, hd failure) [16:41] guest: iwconfig [16:41] hi there, i want to do apt pinning on some package bu i cannot find /etc/apt/preferences file there is a folder preferences.d but it is empty how can i do that with which config file, i'm using maverick [16:42] shcherbak, and unchecking "volumes_visible" right. It should remove also the SD cars and CD unfortunately but it'll deal with that [16:42] guest: sorry, you last one for now, so hope too connect you fast. [16:42] m4xx: I assume this is with the LTS consideration that you feel that way? [16:42] tiany, it goes back to the last one used [16:42] but I'll deal* [16:42] yes, and less bugs afaik [16:42] ryanf_109, well it has an entire API that I'm not super familiar with. The program essential passes to 'gnome' (which is really gtk at this level) a big list of all the windows and buttons and such that make this app. Then gtk translates all that to lines and boxes and circles and such and X draws them. This btw is EXTREMELY vague and high level [16:42] Thanks shcherbak [16:43] m4xx: ok, I appreciate that [16:43] thks [16:43] tiany, sorry fat fingers lol [16:43] i have a server with two hard disks, first one have openSUSE 11.1 and in second and new (1TB) i has installed Ubuntu 10.10.... ....first it's was booting well but after instalation of Ubuntu just boot by GRUB; How i can't fix it for boot from first HD (OpenSUSE) again? [16:43] edbian, I LIKE vague lol [16:43] shcherbak ok so i set the essid to the hotspot and then run dhclient and that "should" get me up and running ? [16:43] LunaVorax: you can produce shortcut on desktop from sd and cd [16:44] LunaVorax: you need just bash loop to react on mount [16:44] greetings [16:44] is there any way to stop the empathy scroll...... [16:44] guest: yes [16:44] I can't see the history...... [16:44] shcherbak ok thanks. [16:44] Do you know a linuxdistro optimized for privacy [16:44] edbian, will it be replaced with Wayland? and will Gnome be replaced by Unity? [16:45] I am getting my dad netbook edition [16:45] sulumar: centos [16:45] sulumar: If you are expecting any answer other than Ubuntu, you should be asking in ##linux, not #ubuntu.

[17:35] it's not booting properly @ayecee [17:35] what does it mean, not booting properly? [17:35] shcherbak, you there [17:36] thats what keeps coming up @aycee root has timed out [17:36] rootdelay keeps coming up [17:37] asflmf: I don't know what you mean. What is rootdelay?

[17:40] asflmf, are you booting from cd? [17:40] asflmf: what do the rootdelay errors say? do you have the full text recorded? [17:40] I'm new to Linux so having to deal with cmd lines is a little unerving [17:40] how long does it take you guys to respond to bug reports? [17:40] i have a video in ogv ( ogg video ) what would be the best and highest quality i would get to encode it into ? [17:41] john38: us guys don't generally respond to bug reports. [17:41] i mean launchpad [17:41] john38: you might try asking them. [17:41] SirFunk, you would have to customize your initrd [17:41] yellabs-r2: if you convert it to anything you stand the chance in losing quality, you can't gain quality through encoding into something else [17:41] john38: depends on the package, how well the bug report's written, whether anyone can reproduce it, whether its a common problem, and the phase of the moon [17:41] @ayecee @sam it states : gave up waiting for root device [17:42] damn [17:42] sam-_-: yeah, I installed dropbear... and copied the ssh keys, but when i try to login it still asks for a password and doesn't accept any of them [17:42] my problem is printing [17:42] Ptptaylor, i kind of have to, since youtube does not understand ogv [17:42] @ayecee @sam boot args/check root delay [17:42] tips? [17:42] @ayecee @sam things like that [17:42] i issued one about month and half ago [17:42] john38: why not put your problem to us here? maybe we can help you a bit more quickly than launchpad. [17:42] john38: or is the issue a known bug? [17:42] asflmf, so... you boot from cd? [17:43] asflmf: is this right after doing the install? [17:43] should i go for mp4 ? [17:43] yellabs: it depends what you want, if you want to reduce file size then yes convert it into mp4 [17:43] @sam it also mentions something regarding BusyBox [17:43] yellabs: but you will not gain anything from doing it! only save space [17:44] sam-_-: any idea? [17:44] no not really, just want the best quality for upload to youtube ( since it does not take ogv ) [17:44] asflmf: are you booting from cd? [17:44] how do i set the percentage amount of battery power to be considered critically low [17:44] @Sam I was able to install/install went well/but when it went to boot up that's when everything went down hill [17:44] @ayecee @sam not booting from cd [17:44] SirFunk, could be a lot of things. try this tut. http://users.telenet.be/mydotcom/howto/linux/sshpasswordless.htm [17:45] @ayecee @sam the intial install was from a cd [17:45] asflmf: are you booting from a raid array, or a single hard disk? [17:45] i got 2 computers running 10.04 32bit with WiFI printer using Canon MP560 proprietary drivers...Computer A: Wired printing ...Computer B: Wirelessly Printing. computer A prints fine so far..Computer B recognizes printer but has limited printing [17:45] sam-_-: yeah, i know how to do passwordless ssh.. I'm just not sure how dropbear sets it up in the initrd.. there's no config for dropbear that i can find [17:45] @ayecee I believe a single hard disk. How could I find out? [17:46] @ayecee raid is external? correct [17:46] asflmf: no, raid can be internal. but if you're not sure, you're probably not using raid :) [17:46] Anyone have any advice for running a 3G USB dongle on a headless server? [17:46] @ayecee understood [17:47] SirFunk, not sure if dropbear allows passwordless logins. are you? [17:47] sam-_-: from the tutorials i've read it does [17:47] markturnip: what purpose? [17:47] sam-_-: it generates pub/private keys [17:47] Well firstly just being able to make a connection. [17:47] asflmf: the problem here is that it's looking for your root partition, but can't find it for some reason. It's assuming that's because the disk hasn't finished starting up, but that may not be the reason. [17:47] schnuffle: Then being able to share the internet using Hostapd. === ian_ is now known as Namachieli [17:48] SirFunk, ok. i would have been surprised if it didn't [17:48] asflmf: what kind of computer do you have? Is it homebuilt? If not, what's the make/model? [17:48] @ayecee what do you recommend then? [17:48] sam-_-: it keeps no logs that i can find... so i don't know how to figure out why it wont' take my key [17:49] asflmf: since troubleshooting this would be difficult, we'll hope that someone has had this same problem with your particular model and fixed it :) [17:49] markturnip: IPcop maybe [17:49] i have my power settings to stay on however what is considered to be critically low is set to high how do i lower that percentage [17:49] @ayecee it's a gateway Duo core [17:49] SirFunk, did you inspect your initramfs. if it contains the keyfile? [17:49] asflmf: could you get the specific model? [17:49] sam-_-: how do i do that?

[17:51] @ayecee laptop [17:52] sam-_-: looks like the authorized_keys file is there [17:52] as well as the dropbear pub keys [17:52] and private [17:52] @ayecee got tired of windows and bolted for Ubuntu, after reading about it' [17:52] SirFunk, in the same dir, right? [17:53] hello [17:53] is phpmyadmin included in jaunty? [17:53] asflmf: unfortunately, it doesn't look like anyone else has reported this kind of problem with 10.10 [17:53] sam-_-: uhm.. well the authorized keys are in /root/.ssh and the other keys are in /etc/dropbear [17:54] SirFunk, just found a better method: lsinitramfs [17:54] SirFunk, list the contents only though [17:54] asflmf: troubleshooting this would be fairly difficult as a new user, and it may have been caused by a bad install. The easiest thing to do at this point would be to try reinstalling and see if it does it again. [17:54] @ayecee I've looked online but all the issues have been with past versions of Ubuntu [17:54] i have a LAMP server and wonder how to install phpmyadmin from Cd if possible? [17:54] sam-_-: i already extracted it [17:54] SirFunk, well that could be it. i'm not sure about dropbear since i never used it. [17:55] yeah [17:55] grrr [17:55] @ayecee should i wipe out the HD or just trying to reinstall [17:55] asflmf: wiping the hd would be a good idea [17:55] sam-_-: from the tutorials it should "just work" by installing the dropbear package [17:55] @ayecee understood [17:55] it may not be necessary, but it takes some of the guesswork out of it. [17:56] SirFunk, were they for your specific ubuntu version? [17:56] yup [17:56] @ayecee the strange thing is that after booting up the computer it works [17:56] let me find them [17:56] @ayecee I'm using it right now, very perturbed [17:56] anternat, install it from the repo [17:56] SirFunk, did you try the keys with openssh? [17:56] anybody help? [17:56] asflmf: what do you mean? I thought it didn't boot? [17:57] sam-_-: yeah, openssh on the client trying to login to dropbear on the server [17:57] @ayecee That's the troubling thing. I only stumbled upon this after rebooting it a couple of times [17:57] asflmf: does it go away if you reboot again? [17:57] @ayecee after shutting the computer down several times, it just boots properly [17:57] does anyone think an ati 9250 can play back full hd video? [17:58] mongy: sorry a noob question but that means get it from internet repos right? [17:58] SirFunk, so definitely a dropbear issue then? [17:58] asflmf: interesting. that is important information. [17:58] @ayecee no it doesn't. There is something wrong though === ian_ is now known as Namachieli [17:58] wasutton3-Kira, also depends on your processor [17:58] anternat, yes [17:58] sam-_-: i *think* so... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1648319 [17:58] @ayecee your recommendation sounds correct (even though I was hoping not to go that route) [17:59] sam-_-: its a 2.8 ghz p4 and 2 gigs of ram [17:59] @ayeceeI will do it and keep you posted [17:59] asflmf: it's something to try, but it may not resolve the problem if it's intermittent like you describe. [17:59] asflmf: okay, good luck [17:59] @ayecee are you on here often? [17:59] mongy thanks [17:59] asflmf: sometimes, but i'm not always watching. [18:00] i know where my power preferences are however i want to change the percentage of what those preferences are considerd critically low [18:00] how can I directly DM/IM you? is there a way [18:00] wasutton3-Kira, why don't you just try it? i don't know... btw. it also depends on if they are h.264 or mp4 etc. [18:00] wasutton3-Kira, why don't you just try it? i don't know... btw. it also depends on if they are h.264 or mpeg2 etc. [18:00] @ayecee just to email you === johnny is now known as Guest21219 [18:00] hello [18:00] asflmf: I'd prefer you didn't. there are a lot of smart people here who can help you as well as i could.

[18:00] completely [18:01] @ayecee understood [18:01] sam-_-: i am running archlinux actually and i was just concerned with the possibility === ian_ is now known as Namachieli [18:01] anyone know how to delete grub? [18:01] wasutton3-Kira, that wasn't too helpful, was it? maybe someone else knows... [18:01] sam-_-: i think i might have found the problem [18:02] SirFunk, do tell [18:02] i think the private keys mismatch or something.. i'll have to try it out when i have physical access to the box [18:02] sam-_-: i know, i have to tinker with drivers [18:02] @Guest21219: Why you wanna delete Grub? Because you want to switch back to Windows? [18:02] because i need to do a system restore, then install linux again [18:02] but during the install the grub stops me [18:02] sam-_-: gonna head home for lunch and give it a try [18:03] with grub recovery [18:03] thanks for making me poke aroudn the initramfs [18:03] so i need to remove it, then recover, then install linux [18:03] SirFunk, anytime [18:03] What does it say when Grub interrupts your installation? [18:03] just comes up with grub recovery [18:03] SirFunk, or any time [18:03] black screen, flashing cursor [18:04] You want to install Ubuntu, or another Linux distro? [18:04] ubuntu [18:04] Okay... [18:04] Good morning. [18:05] I have a question for all... [18:05] Try to reinstall Grub first from a live session, and then install Ubuntu again. While installing, overwrite Grub again. That should do the trick! [18:05] ive already tried, ive only got ubuntu installed right now [18:06] I"m trying to connect my xbox 360 to my laptop to stream media. Short of using VMware is this even possible? [18:06] wasutton3-Kira, my feeling is though: your processor is too slow. i remember having problems with full hd on a T5600 ( core 2 duo) [18:06] and when i run the recovery agent to get back windows as well, grub blocks it [18:06] hi there, how can i change the default soundoutput in kubuntu 10.10? [18:06] in teamspeak3 i can select the output-device but chromium still plays thru my intern soundcard even tho i set my headset as primary in phonon [18:06] sam-_-: hmmm i will have to take a look [18:06] Okay.... [18:06] is there nothing i can run in terminal [18:06] So... start up Ubuntu in a live session.... [18:06] ok [18:07] Yes, you can! But only in a live session.... [18:07] ok im taking notes! [18:07] boot into live session [18:07] Okay.... this is what you need to do.... [18:07] wasutton3-Kira, btw. if it is full hd "embedded" in flash. forget it. flash needs about twice as much power as it should. [18:07] In the live session, go to the terminal..... [18:07] sam-_-: i refuse to use flash for things like that [18:08] ok [18:08] wasutton3-Kira: why [18:08] wasutton3-Kira, just thought: maybe you stream it from somewhere. [18:08] magicianlord: because its a power hog [18:08] sam-_-: well that defeats the purpose of having the computer next to the tv [18:08] In the terminal, type this: sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt (X stands for the number of the partition where Ubuntu is installed on.... [18:09] magicianlord, s/he is talking about adobe flashplayer [18:09] Press "Enter" (of course).... [18:09] ok [18:09] wasutton3-Kira: true [18:09] Then you type in the terminal: sudo grub-install /dev/sda --root-directory=/mnt [18:10] And press "Enter"..... [18:10] After that, typ in your terminal: sudo reboot. [18:10] Now Grub should work again. Try this first! ;) [18:11] ok thanks [18:11] but grub is working [18:11] ill try explain a bit better: [18:11] Okay... [18:11] how to go on onlinegamesnet.chat?

[18:12] I had ubuntu and windows dual booting [18:12] it currently runs down my battery in like an hour, whereas Win7 gives me about 3 hours [18:12] Go on.... [18:12] so i tried to restore, because i did something wrong on windows [18:12] which formatted my hdd, and installed windows (partly) [18:13] then it rebooted, and i just got grub recovery [18:13] and it wouldnt let the recovery move on [18:13] Anyone knows, How can I reset settings to recordMyDesctop [18:13] ? [18:13] so i thought if i got rid of the grub then the recovery would be fine [18:14] That's because you UUID has changed. Try to install Grub again, so it recognizes everything again.... [18:14] ok so i should: [18:14] run recovery [18:14] boot into live [18:14] install grub [18:14] and then finish recovery? [18:14] Guest21219: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:14] milen8204, delete the config files. [18:15] Well, just install Grub, and see what happens.... ;) [18:15] so is it possible to just install grub, without linux [18:15] sam-_-, where I can found it ? [18:15] On hardy, I pull up System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers to enable proprietary drivers for my zotac geforce GTS 450, But there is nothing listed.

[18:44] valentin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:44] coldfront, nm-applet [18:44] x_: calm down [18:44] sam-_-, im unaware, but i didnt want to limit my statement to just gpt, just to avoid being slandered for that :P [18:45] oCean, you calm down I've been trying for hours and waiting for someone to say something other than is it muted. [18:45] Bejjan, ah [18:45] tricky question: got NO sound with movie player, cd player, rhythmbox ... but, sound works just fine with an application using alsa directly. What could be wrong? Nothing is muted in mixers [18:45] !language | x_ [18:45] x_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [18:45] Bejjan: i see. Ext4 max partition size is waay bigger than that so should be ok, surely? [18:46] ActionParsnip, ext4 is not a partition table, its a filesystem. [18:46] vega-_, have a look here: gstreamer-properties [18:46] Hi, anyone know how to enable numlock after i pick a system to boot in grub? I would like to have it on when signing to both linux and windows7. [18:46] vega-_: Did you select an output device under [Volume Icon Left click] -> Sound Prefferences -> Output ? [18:46] valentin: have yiu managed to import the ldif? [18:47] Dcite: yes, it's correct, also the speaker test there don't give sound [18:47] Bejjan: true but does it use Guid partition table? [18:47] vega-_, the speakertest is broken for me as well. everything else works [18:47] Bejjan, you can use every fs with gpt [18:48] ActionParsnip, , you can use every fs with gpt [18:48] sam-_-: hmmm, the "test" in gstreamer-properties works just fine [18:48] Eaglecz: there is a command you can sling i [18:48] vega-_: I can't tell if something else is claiming the sound device before pulse can claim it, for those devices (ie.. Intel Audio) which only have 1 sound stream. [18:48] schnuffle: everything works fine until i try to add something, it asks for a password and i've used both guides and made sure i really set the password but it always says that the pass is invalid ;( [18:48] sam-_-, the problem isnt the fs, the problem is booting from gpt partitions [18:48] welp, I accidentally the entire default panel at the top.. is there any easy way to get it back? [18:48] In /etc/rc.local to enable it [18:48] sam-_-: When i run nm-applet i get a message in the terminal applet now removed from the notification area [18:48] how can i put it back up there [18:48] EagleCZ: a variety of ways here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock , for ubuntu anyway [18:48] !pa [18:49] Bejjan, y. i misdirected. i wanted to speak to ActionParsnip. sry. [18:49] !panelreset [18:49] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [18:49] sam-_-, np [18:49] thanks ActionParsnip === jeremy is now known as Guest30937 [18:49] trism: Tried that, but i need it to be on before i log in. [18:49] Dcite: now all the apps (rhythmbox) etc. started having sound after running the gstreamer-properties as sam_-_ adviced... really logical :) [18:50] ActionParsnip, beautiful! :) [18:50] hi .. I have downloaded and install ubuntu 10.10 on VBox but it doesn't show much during the first seconds of the bootup ... is it using grub or lilo? [18:50] Sam-_-: i see [18:50] also is there any good intro on ldap, most of the commands work without error but i barely understand all these config files, everything is so briefly explained, i can't really know where the error is [18:50] vega-_, y. pulseaudio is flaky. it don't get it either [18:50] Slkwr: grub2 [18:50] if I have two other partitions with win XP / 7 will it be able to see and recongnize them? [18:50] ActionParsnip: Where can i found such command? [18:51] I don't wanna mess with the other partitions [18:51] valentin: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/ [18:51] I seem to have a problem where my last session is reloading on computer start-up... this is not so bad in itself, but since some things are in my system start-up, it tries to launch them twice (e.g., wally is in system start-up, but apparently double-launched as well trying to restore session). it also messes up my panel hardcore too [18:51] hi, i have a wubi install of ubuntu, and i would like to know if i can boot my windows with a vm [18:51] Eaglecz: online. Ive seen guides around === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [18:52] ActionParsnip: I just spent half an hour looking for it and nothing [18:52] schnuffle: thank you [18:52] slash0mega, you might be able to. but i don't think it's a good idea [18:53] Slash0mega: i'd ask in #vbox you can.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [18:53] Hi, how can I use grep to only list the exact matches? for instance I want to see if a program exists with a script. for example ls /usr/bin/ | grep -w 'screen' but I still get things that start with screen but aren't exactly the word screen. [18:53] john38, of course. look into the list for specifics [18:53] * WinstonSmith is listening to: [18:54] how can I make it so ubuntu won't try to restore all my running apps on restart?

But is not cause I am able to login at the computer. [18:55] sereal, maybe you are looking for sth. like grep -w [18:57] qq99, gnome-session-properties: tab options. uncheck the box. [18:57] sam-_-, thanks man :) [18:57] sam-_-, this would be a cool feature if I could spec. exactly which I'd like to restore (like terminals, editors, pdf, browser) [18:58] sam-_-, but it's launching 2 panels and corrupting my top panel with duplicates of every icon [18:58] !resetpanel | qq99 [18:58] qq99: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [18:58] I'm having trouble getting my Ubuntu 10.04 computer to boot. Display doesn't seem to be working right (but I can boot from remote media to old Ubuntu 9.04 where I am now). I'm not sure how to debug this problem. Help welcome. [18:58] sam-_-, yeah, I've done that, but I don't want to lose my panel settings every time I log in because of gnome session [18:58] sam-_-, where is gnome-session-properties ?

Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [18:59] sam-_-, thanks, I found what might be it in gconf-editor [19:00] qq99, gconf-editor is not what i was referring to. [19:00] sam-_-, would network adapter have any effect on wireless printing? [19:01] sam-_-, thanks, I think changing in gconf also changed it in the gnome-session-properties, as it is now off [19:01] john38, i'm not sure what you mean by wireless printing [19:01] Hi ! How can I use my webcam on lucyd lynx wk. Amsn doesn't works [19:02] I had trouble, because I forgot my root and superuser password, so I was alble to reset it, but after that those users cannot access the server through ssh, it says that the un/pw are wrong. But is not, cause I am able to login at the computer.

[19:03] yes, my webcams works with skype but doesn't works with amsn [19:04] john38, maybe your connection is a little unstable. [19:04] Gaabi: having a root pass is neither supported nor advised [19:05] sam-_-, it prints on my computer which is wired [19:06] El-kodar: well at least it works :-) is there a webcam config in amsn? Have you tried emesene too? [19:06] I would like to have FTP. I just installed Proftpd. I can't get it to connect. In package manager I see there are two conflicts. wu-ftpd and ftp-server. Should I uninstall Proftpd and use one that is already installed or should I uninstall the two that are conflicts? [19:06] Docfxit, FileZilla is pretty nice if you want to try that [19:06] sam-_-, what could be printer or usb adapter? [19:06] john38, it shouldn't matter if it's wireless or wired as long as the connection is stable [19:07] qq99 I'll go with anything I can get running. [19:07] I'm a noob [19:07] sam-_-, maybe printer drivers is not that good? [19:07] Docfxit, just try installing that in the ubuntu software manager, should be like 0 set-up, enter your account and good to go (at least for me on 10.10) [19:07] ActionParsnip this happens with the superuser also, not only the root [19:07] qq99 Thanks. I'll try it. [19:07] Docfxit: i'd remove the others or there will be a race to grab port 21 [19:08] Docfxit, i think filezilla is not a ftp server which is what you want right? [19:08] ohh, I thought he meant ftp browser [19:08] Docfxit, sorry [19:08] yes. I want ftp. [19:08] Docfxit, server or client? [19:08] Server [19:09] Docfxit: pure-ftpd eay to setup [19:09] Gaabi: then you will need to use a chroot in livecd maybe.

I'll try that. === LENINster is now known as Lenin_Cat [19:10] Docfxit, it seem like only vsftpd is in the main repos [19:10] how large of a number can tail -s take? it should be table to take up to hours right?

ActionParsnip [19:11] Can someone help me out, I am trying to run a program via './program -opt' and I am getting 'bash: permission denied"...when I run it via sudo I get an message from the program warning me not to run it as root [19:11] gp5st, the question is. why would you want hours? [19:12] Gaabi: the account is disabled for security as well as other reasons. You can do as much as root can with any account in the admin group so you never need to use the account [19:12] sam-_-: I'm trying to figure out how to best parse the apache log every so often w/o reprasing what I just parsed [19:12] Thank you kindly. A bit of hardware testing now.... [19:12] Gaabi: to fix your mess... [19:13] purpzey, seems like you need to adjust the permissions [19:13] sam-_-: How would I go about doing that? [19:13] purpzey, easy way out: chmod 777 [19:14] purpzey: is the file marked as executable and for your user? [19:14] purpzey, also put sudo in front :-) [19:14] ActionParsnip: I don't know [19:14] Sam-_-: 777 is a really bad idea [19:14] purpzey, ls -l [19:15] ActionParsnip, probably true...

On my other machine it works with gateway/dns 192.168.1.1 Please help me. http://pastie.org/1470908 [19:21] is there a boot floppy that will boot a usb cd/dvd-rom? [19:21] ActionParsnip, sam-_-, Would it be possible to disable network-manager and try wicd or would i have to uninstall nm first? [19:22] I tried installing pure-ftpd.

I mean. that's what I installed. [19:22] dodgy_script, last time i checked nm and wicd were conflicting packages [19:22] Heemboi: yes there is a floppy image on pendrivelinux [19:23] dodgy_script, so you would need to force the install of wicd and disable nm. probably easier to just remove nm while testing wicd [19:24] ActionParsnip: Just need to know the acct so I can add it to group when my user puts something in the web server path (i.e. /var/www [19:24] Docfixit: change package source in softwarecentre.

[19:52] Pici the login does not work, redirecting redsirects one just as a unlogged in. I have personally managed to get autologin on one computer [19:52] jschall: hmm..."affects you" and a comment. then co on to ubuntu-bugs channel and get it triaged [19:52] but there seem to be many pppl that canät login [19:52] please, i can't use my touchpad anymore (I think it's after an update). If I change my source.list from lucid to maverick, after an apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade : will this work fine ? [19:53] Isaac-M: do you have floppy drive? [19:53] (my update, so maybe my touchpad too) [19:53] ddr400: no [19:53] then it's a false error [19:53] Trying to edit at wiki.ubuntu.com? ppl often get this answer: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaulSladen [19:53] maybe you can deactivate it later [19:53] or somethiong like that [19:53] <_AV_> Touns: Did your system screwed up after upgrading? [19:54] I think it might be related to the error I get when booting into windows. "Disk seek failure. Cannot find drive 0" [19:54] _AV_: no [19:54] Dang it. So basically, I'm screwed. [19:54] _AV_: ony my touchpad [19:54] Isaac-M, no. [19:54] only [19:54] Isaac-M, can you disable your floppy in bios? [19:54] peetra: Thats odd, You may want to try #ubuntu-doc or #launchpad . The former controls the wiki, the latter sort of controls the login mechanism. [19:54] I don't have a floppy drive [19:54] error: mysql cannot connect because my mysqld.sock file does not exist, where does it normally exist in linux? [19:55] Isaac-M, still you may be able to disable it in bios [19:55] Ok [19:55] I'll look [19:55] <_AV_> Touns: Which version did you upgrade? [19:55] Isaac-M: try deactivating floppy from bios [19:55] Isaac-M, also you can pass the "nofloppy" option to the kernel. [19:55] okey, ty Pici [19:56] or instead -maybe- you have problems on your Motherboard [19:56] _AV_: and I can-t only with my keyboard to do the update to maverick (I need to access to system > update manager > configuration) but i can't access to the "configuration" button only with the keyboard [19:57] is there anyway to change this line "Apache/2.2.14 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost ? [19:57] mysql cannot connect because my mysqld.sock file does not exist, where is it normally? [19:57] shaadow: You want to get rid of it? Or what? [19:57] Pici: yes [19:57] shaadow: From your indexes? [19:57] There's no way to disable the floppy drive, sam-_- ddr400 [19:57] <_AV_> Touns: So are you completely disabled? [19:57] sure? looked into bios? [19:58] Isaac-M, also you can pass the "nofloppy" option to the kernel. [19:58] Just did [19:58] Pici: yes, when someone www to my apache server, i dont want them to se that im running apache. [19:58] Sam-_- how? [19:58] <_AV_> Touns: Just try with an external mouse? [19:58] do you have award or amibios? [19:58] _AV_: I don't have one :/ [19:58] Isaac-M, just replace splash with nofloppy [19:58] I have AWARDBios [19:58] _AV_: yes the touchpad is completly disable. The button too [19:59] Sam-_- what? [19:59] it's a hp or another big company's pc? [19:59] Dell [19:59] Isaac-M, phone. one sec.+ [19:59] If I install ubuntu-minimal and then install manually huge amount of software etc, is it going to work smoothly as ubuntu default or will it have'more problems as the readily-customised default ubuntu? [19:59] mmm, maybe the bios has few options so [19:59] K [19:59] _AV_: so did you think if I replace "lucid" with "maverick" and if I do an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade, will my update work ? [19:59] <_AV_> Touns: Check the button that allows you to lock or unlock the touchpad. [20:00] _AV_: I don't have one button like that [20:00] Ddr400 I see the floppy disk, but it's the only option under removable device priority, so it won't let me remove it [20:00] cannot move it to the last priority? [20:00] <_AV_> Touns: Never upgrade. [20:00] _AV_: ok [20:00] hi, i got my gnome login screen in 10.04 messed up. How to restore to its default settings? [20:00] Ddr400 no [20:01] I'll try setting everything ti default [20:01] To [20:01] so no chances it seems.. [20:01] <_AV_> Touns: Which laptopo are you using? [20:01] Isaac-M, you did boot up last time with a removed splash option right? [20:02] Sam-_- I hit ecpscaoe to toggle the splash off so It showed verbose mode [20:02] Escape [20:02] _AV_: I find some things on google about installing gsynaptics then using the "touchpad" menu inside system > preferences > touchpad. But I get an error message "you need to have true in the SHMConfig in the xorg.conf file. But I don't have this section. So I add it, but it change nothing [20:02] Is that what you mean? [20:02] shaadow: I thought that was controlled by mod_autoindex, but I can't seem to find that setting there. The folks in #httpd should be able to point you in the right direction though. [20:03] Isaac-M, ah. press e in grub. it will let you edit the selected boot entry [20:03] usualy I'm able to do ctrl + alt + num lock to use my keyboard as a mouse, but i'm on an netbook and I don't have the numlock key [20:03] Pici: okej, thanks anyway. [20:04] Sam-_- Ok [20:04] is there a way i can hide the "has joined/left" messages [20:04] How can I see how much battery power I have left in Ubuntu Netbook Edition? [20:04] whoever_: depends on the irc lcient [20:04] erUSUL: im on webchat :( [20:04] whoever_: in x-chat right click on the channel button/tab/name [20:05] Sam-_- I'm not using grub [20:05] I'm booting from USB [20:05] whoever_: check options [20:05] I can't figure out how to download and install pure-ftpd [20:05] edbian try right click on application bar and add the widget for the battery [20:05] Isaac-M, still you are using grub. [20:05] Pici: it whas "ServerTokens and ServerSignature" so you know :) [20:05] Isaac-M, try holding shift at boot [20:05] erUSUL: im behind a proxy that does not allow tunnelling of 6667 port. cant use clients. Only webchat [20:06] hi [20:06] shaadow: Ah, thanks. [20:06] ddr400, I cannot right click anywhere on it [20:06] Ok [20:06] when i double click a movie file - movie play pops up - how do i modify this behaviour so it opens a different program .. e.g. vlc? [20:06] why is top (and free) showing me different values (concerning free RAM) than gnome-ystem-monitor? [20:06] I have tried a number of different repositories. [20:06] a 910/1004 upgrade tells me gThumb and xsane are not supported anymore - what's the preferred picture viewer and scanning tool these days? [20:06] ddr400, I have noticed that since I got unity (UNE) I am unable to find any system settings or otherwise [20:07] I have tried apt-get install pure-ftpd-mysql [20:07] so no power settings? seems strange [20:07] ddr400, I'm updating right now. Haven't done that in a while [20:07] whoever_: the freenode webchat has an option to hide those messages. [20:07] check in control center/panel etc [20:07] tim_: I belive that g-s-m adds/subtracts the buffers/cached values. [20:07] erUSUL: how? [20:07] ddr400, I don't have control center/panel [20:07] whoever_: click on the irc icon ( left upper corner ) choose options [20:07] edbian: try using gnome [20:07] ddr400, That's the root of the problem [20:08] Isaac-M, hmm. i don't see nofloppy here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt;h=b72e071a3e5bd1ca958c423df347d7b1ab515573;hb=HEAD [20:08] if it so it's a big problem, how can you change system setting? [20:08] mrcraig, preferences > prefered applications [20:08] erUSUL: Thanks [20:08] Isaac-M, so it prbly. won't help. [20:08] whoever_: i just disabled them in my firefox XXDD [20:08] ddr400, I haven't changed any [20:08] Sam-_- I held shift after selecting "Run ubuntu from this USB", a bunch of code flew by, and my computer rebooted. [20:08] Pici: So for a quick look g-s-m is showning the "true" used RAM? [20:08] ok [20:08] foobarbaz: got it done on webchat. [20:08] ddr400, What is the command to start control center or something? Perhaps I can run it from the terminal [20:09] will ubuntu be switching over to libreoffice due to the 'issues' with oracle and openoffice ? [20:09] sorry, never used [20:09] rtdos, it's planned yes [20:09] ddr400, Can you figure it out for me on gnome? [20:09] tester, thankyou [20:09] mistercraig, system -> settings -> preferred applications, there you can choose vlc by choosing user defined and putting vlc into that box [20:09] ddr400, figure out the command to run control center? [20:09] rtdos: yes as far as i know [20:09] Isaac-M, how did you install ubuntu on the usb? link to the guide? [20:09] i am searching [20:09] Sam-_- I found the option [20:09] ubutom, thankyou too [20:09] ddr400, thanks [20:09] ZykoticK9_ or tim_ - in 11.04 perhaps or even later ? [20:09] Sam-_- I hit tab on the installer menu to edit the flags [20:10] Do I add --no floppy? [20:10] Nofloppy [20:10] rtdos: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/09/future-ubuntu-releases-will-be-shipped.html [20:10] rtdos, not sure - sorry. I believe it will be 11.04 though (just guessing) [20:10] Bonsoir [20:10] tim_: I'm not sure, I don't have a graphical setup here to check. Is the 'used' ram in g-s-m greater than the one in 'free'? [20:10] maybe gnome-control-center [20:10] this is ita chan? [20:10] no === AAAA5 is now known as ProNooB [20:10] Sam. You are my hero. [20:11] Oh wait [20:11] Dang it [20:11] Same error [20:11] Pici: no, used RAM is smaller then in 'free' [20:11] Isaac-M, every option after the -- won't get recognized. so put it in front [20:11] Pici: NO [20:11] Oh [20:11] Pici: Used RAM is smaller in G-S-M [20:11] Like, splash nofloppy --? [20:11] Isaac-M, you can delete splash [20:12] Ok [20:12] edbian should be under system/preferences [20:12] Isaac-M, like i said it probably won't help. i will look for another solution. one sec. [20:12] thanks ZykoticK9_ and tim_ [20:12] I did nofloppy -- [20:12] ddr400, i don't have that either. Remember this is unity [20:13] Work [20:13] Sam-_- didn't worl [20:13] Pici: GSM shows mw 353MB used, 'free' shows 995MB used [20:13] mrcraig, try right click on the file then properties > open with [20:13] i never tryed it, just doesnt make sense to remove it.. [20:13] My computer is screwed up [20:13] Lol [20:13] from the bottom I have: trash, applications, folders / files, workspaces, update manager, term, ubuntu software center, music player, cheese, emails, empathy, firefox [20:13] Nothing about system preferences / settings or anything [20:13] tim_: So then the RAM shown in g-s-m is likey the used ram minus any files that are currently being buffered or cached by the kernel. Those will be automatically freed if an application really needs to use more RAM. You may want to look at http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html for more info. [20:13] (It's annoying) [20:13] mmm [20:14] Pici: Thank you [20:14] what's the name of the command that let's you view the command history of the CLI [20:14] DarkStar1: history [20:15] edbian: try gnome-control-center [20:15] DarkStar1: type: help history [20:15] ddr400, poped right up. Should there be an icon for this app in unity? [20:15] ddr400, thanks [20:16] Cheers guys [20:16] i dont know [20:16] ddr400, i told it to always display the battery icon in the bar and now I have one there. Thank you! :D [20:17] nice (y) [20:17] thumbs up [20:17] Sam-_- Yeah, nofloppy isn't working at all. [20:17] Hi, my initial ubuntu samba install was looking at /etc/samba/secrets.tdb, but after playing around a bit I am seeing that it is looking in /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb. Where is that path configured? [20:17] Pici: The link you posted was very useful. Thank you [20:18] question how would the easyest way to move ubuntu from one drive to another and have it load from the new drive (noob) [20:19] Hey everyone!

I select one from Appearance, and it shows up for about 5 seconds, then disappears again while my taskbar starts flooding with "Starting File Manager" windows. Any ideas?

It is kinda hard talking on an iPad. [20:37] Curly_Q: I don't have a screensaver.

[21:22] hi [21:22] hi [21:23] mongy, Since this is a new install, I'll check out the newer kernel. thanks. Hopefully that will help. [21:23] I need help... I'm trying to copy everything from a hdd to another. And I'd like to display the cp on the term AND in a file, to log the copy. I tried and tried the "tee" command, but nothing happens in the term... [21:24] Musigreg, do you have a question ask it [21:24] nit-wit: he just did :D [21:24] Well, yes... [21:24] Emphaty only has: Voice and video call using SIP, XMPP and Google Talk. [21:24] sjm, could try it in a vm, with your drive attached as 'raw' [21:24] bencahill, we posted at the same time [21:24] sjm, or is that pass-through, whatever. [21:25] nit-wit: from my end, yours was at least 1.5 seconds, probably differences in latency [21:25] s/1.5 seconds/1.5 seconds later/ [21:25] In addition to that, I'd like to log the copy with timestamps at each line. [21:25] mongy, that would require that I install virtualbox or vmware or... right now I just want to see if I can get it recognized. This is basically a vm right now as I haven't done any configuration yet--it's a new install. [21:26] bencahill, okay wow your just the bomb now aren't you. [21:26] sjm, it wouldnt break anything :) [21:26] haloo === root is now known as Guest10005 [21:26] ok [21:26] true. just not sure what is faster... installing vm or just installing on the hardware [21:26] So, µI'd like to copy, live display the copying files in the term and in a file, and timestamp each line. Is it possible? [21:27] root: hi there :), do you have a question regarding ubuntu? [21:27] how i can install arabic in backtrack bt trinmal [21:27] root, not a good idea to connect to IRC as the root user... [21:27] Guest10005: backtrack isn't supported here. Try #backtrack-linux. [21:28] !root [21:28] 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 [21:28] ok i soory [21:28] BluesKaj: meant for who? [21:28] bencahill, s/who/whom/ [21:28] bencahill, :) [21:29] sjm: thanks, I need to study that better (who/whom) :) [21:30] bencahill, guess the bot script changed it's priority message ..it used to say being root is dangerous in irc [21:31] yap [21:31] BluesKaj: oh, because if their nick is "root", that's a decent indication they are logged in as root? [21:31] you should never ever chat as root [21:31] BluesKaj: no, it didn't :\ [21:31] wastl: with your nick as root, or being root? [21:32] bencahill: being root [21:32] is there a commandline command to get the total size of a directory and its contents inclusing any subdirectories? [21:32] wastl: ok, obviously :) [21:32] Greets Rww. Nice to see you again. [21:32] cya [21:32] BluesKaj: you're probably thinking of !rootirc [21:32] Dotted: du -sh in top directory does that [21:32] thanks [21:32] * BluesKaj shrugs ...ok then rwww , split hairs if you want :) [21:33] that's not what splitting hairs means ;P [21:33] Rww, I found my problem. I took for granted that Xubuntu had the Apache2 server installed. I took did a search and found that it didn't. Simple apt-get and install and I found my problem. [21:34] Hello World! [21:34] * BluesKaj shrugs again [21:34] hi, i'm running nut on my ups and it works great but it doesn't seem to come up automatically on bootup. Any ideas? === sam-_- is now known as world [21:35] hello steven_ === world is now known as sam-_- [21:35] I doubt I will get help for my problem here, considering I asked a different channel that was also related and they simply told me to figure it out myself. [21:35] how do i get my Ipod 5th gen video (a1136) to allow the gtkpod manager to write to the ipod? [21:35] I'm on 10.10 Maverick. Anyone know how to get a non-Ubuntu installation ISO to work on USB? [21:35] Hey sorry to interrupt the festivities here, but I'm not sure I'm in the right channel. Is this where I would go ask for information about getting an open-source project I'm working on added to the repositories? [21:35] Irreducibilis ask away. [21:36] @Froodle, PM me I might be able to help... [21:36] steven_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages [21:36] anyone worked with NUT? [21:37] I hope I don't offend anyone here, but I'm in the process of switching from Ubuntu to another distro, because I want to see which one I like better. My only concern is that when I overwrite Ubuntu, it will nuke GRUB and I'll be unable to boot anything (its a dual-boot system with windows). [21:37] What distro? [21:37] Fedora :/ [21:37] blasphemy! [21:37] Irreducibilis: Fedora should write its own copy of GRUB during installation, so I'd expect that not to be a problem... [21:37] Irreducibilis: why don't you just install fedora alongside ubuntu? Or try it in a vm? [21:37] aeon-ltd, :) [21:37] Fedora knows how to replace ubuntu, shouldn't be an issue. It'll pick it up [21:37] kidding, dude i use arch anyways :) [21:38] rww, Okay, thank you. [21:38] You'll have the option install alongside or install over. [21:38] hi [21:38] hi [21:38] Irreducibilis: I'd tell you to check that with #fedora, but it sounds like you did and that wasn't helpful :\ [21:38] Irreducibilis: yeah or you could just have a dedicated /boot partition for grub [21:38] steven_, I tried to open a PM. Did it get through? [21:38] Just make sure to put it on the ext3 partition not the ntfs partition :) [21:38] rww: They basically just laughed, without actually laughing -- so to speak === lulu is now known as Luana96 === Luana96 is now known as Luana90 [21:39] i have a question about 2,4 ghz cameras [21:39] help, did once know ukraine server of this chat? [21:40] !ukraine [21:40] is it possible to receive all 2,4 ghz camera signals with one 2,4ghz camera receiver ? [21:40] Fear not, I'll return to Ubuntu shortly if things go foul. [21:40] Roberty: hmm is russian close enough? [21:40] Irreducibilis: From the look of it, you got caught in crossfire between channel residents and someone asking for help with a version of Fedora from five years ago. [21:40] Roberty, ubuntu-ua [21:41] rww: Seems like it. Some rude person insisted I was not asking about "current" Fedora version. [21:41] ( i know it is an outopic question but I think linux users have a wide technical knowledge :) [21:41] Even though I am going to be using 14. [21:41] Irreducibilis do you have logical partitions on your HDrive with the Windows dual boot? [21:41] Roberty, #ubuntu-ua [21:41] Irreducibilis: *nods* [21:41] Curly_Q: Its a 250 gig drive with 60 reserved for ubuntu, and the rest Windows (for games) [21:41] THENKS [21:42] OK but do you have logical partitions though? That would make a difference. [21:44] i got a new laptop today and it have two cards: intel and ATI...how to check which card is running? [21:44] Curly_Q: I'm not sure what that means... I just shrunk the windows partition from within windows and then had Ubuntu use the new free space when it installed. [21:44] Roberty, ласкаво просимо :) [21:44] Using a software to partition the HD is not a good choice. Use FDISK with Windows and create logical partitions. Therefore, Grub loader doesn't care about Windows or Ubuntu sharing a Windows partition. [21:44] whatever that means... [21:44] )) [21:45] how do i check that my graphic card is in use? [21:45] Hence, you can clean out any partition and format it accordingly. [21:45] Okay, thanks. :) [21:46] Guys, where is xorg.conf stored.. it has been relocated in ubuntu 10+? [21:46] Sharing with Windows is asking for disaster. [21:46] anyone having dual cards in laptop? how to check and swith between cards? I got intel and ATI. Help.

[21:47] cellardoor: Xorg auto-configures itself, xorg.conf is not needed any longer, unless you generate one manually [21:47] Looking for good html editor [21:47] Curly_Q: But they are separate partitions? The windows partition physically reads as 174GB, and Ubuntu reads 60GB [21:47] no manually.... [21:47] I would assume they can't touch eachother. [21:47] doodoo, but you can switch them? [21:47] switches automatically when power source is plugged out [21:47] yep [21:47] steve7467539, look for a good text editor, gedit should do .... [21:47] Logical partitions are not the same as a software partition or a VMware partition.

Problem is, when I start up without the 2nd (VGA) screen attached, for some strange reason the builtin screen is blank when X boots. When I hotplug the 2nd screen, that's where the picture is, so I think that X has somehow decided it's the primary screen even though it's not connected.

[22:07] hey, sorry to drop in like... i am curious to know what you guys think of ubuntu natty narwhal [22:07] deokanon: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [22:07] I think it's a horrible name & will drive people away [22:07] Most Ubuntu version names are bad. [22:07] But that hasn't stopped many from using it. [22:07] Yeah but not that bad. [22:08] 10.10 has a bad name [22:08] Worse than Natty Narwhal, really. [22:08] lol [22:08] how stable is it right now [22:08] Around here Natty is a derogatory term. [22:08] u [22:09] edbian: im going to see if i can get this laptop booted up have a good day thanks for your help [22:09] It also refers to a cheaply made beer. [22:09] !natty | deokanon [22:09] deokanon: 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. [22:09] thanks ilovefairuz [22:09] @ubottu Natty is a term that means bad beer, do not drink.

[22:10] imo they should drop the names and do just version numbers [22:10] deokanon: then just install them [22:10] like our friends at microsoft (win 7) [22:10] Version names are fine, but they really, really need to consider branding issues. [22:11] Nameless Narwhal would have been cool [22:11] Or... [22:11] Nameless Nerd [22:11] or natty narwhal [22:11] oh wait... [22:11] haha [22:11] I know I would totally identify with that.

[22:13] is it wrong to run ubuntu on a macbook pro [22:13] steven_: no. [22:13] i'm pretty sure anyone who installs latest release will also get the ureadahead error (i say this because i did some clean installations on several machines and i allays get that error). Question: (1) is there any way of apt-get remove ureadahead without removing implicitly ubuntu-minimal? (2) is there already any effective workaround to avoid that error? [22:13] steven_, op, bot, what difference does it make === mike is now known as Guest68913 [22:13] mac should always be run with something that's not free [22:13] Lol oh ok [22:14] !macbook | phawk [22:14] phawk: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [22:14] haha anyone else running on a mac without refit?

[22:15] is there a way i can set 1 background image to span multiple desktops? (3) instead of 1 image duplicted on the additonal desktops? [22:15] Hey. I just got Ubuntu 10.04 on my hp pavilion laptop and i was just wondering if anybody has a suggestion on where i could go to learn up on Linux? thanks! [22:15] sam_ well, that status and more [22:15] lcb, not an error then [22:15] ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/hwKTmwgv [22:16] Sam-_- : i did a purge on one of the machines and solved the issue [22:16] lcb, yes but then you don't have ureadahead. [22:16] dodgy_script: paste the output of: route [22:17] lcb, (no fast booting) [22:17] yeap.. so machine might start slower... subjective tough [22:17] exactly [22:17] speeqs, https://help.ubuntu.com/ [22:18] sam-_-: its annoying tough :/ [22:19] lcb, yes. i don't know why they implemented it this way. [22:19] lcb, maybe they will change it in the future [22:19] Hi [22:19] Can anyone tell me if it's possible to add gnome panel applets to docky? [22:19] lcb, I had that recently when my system wouldnt boot to X.. it turned out to be there was an xorg.conf in /etc/X11 when I was using radeon driver.. I never setup an xorg.conf [22:19] read the wiki, but it doesnt say much about EFI and what you have to do before install [22:19] sam-_-: you might know.. let me check the only other error i get, not sure if related or not... hold on pls [22:19] Anyone experience with building packages with maven ? I like to create a repository with my java stuff to do a faster rollout. [22:20] @phawk Whats wrong with refit? [22:20] XoniX_: wrong channel, try #java [22:20] Hi! I have a problem with the X system [22:20] I've did apt-get update, after that my server was rebooted and Memtest86+ was started. Now I'm getting only the Memtest86 option on the grub, I can't start my SO normally. I've let it for 50 hours abut it didn't finish yet [22:20] ilovefairuz: i like to build a package .deb with my stuff inside. [22:20] ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/LdRdF9Zt [22:20] Is that normal? [22:21] @steven_ i would just prefer it to use the standard mac efi, would be nicer [22:21] and *! [22:21] Not sure it's possible w/o the server version of OS/X [22:22] Hi everyone [22:22] i know bootcamp does it for windows, and works through the efi, but apple must have blocked other o/s [22:22] sam-_-: init: mounted-tmp main process (830) terminated with status 127 | mountall: Event failed (just after the first ureadahead error) [22:22] ubu_ply, short: no, longer, try #docky [22:22] XoniX_: you said you want to use maven, that's different from the "standard" debian packaging tool set [22:23] hi all.. this will sound weird.. but I want set my monitor to 4:3 format... is possible to do this in ubuntu?? (monitor is a LG 23') === mike_ is now known as Guest6947 [22:23] sam-_-: after that 6 events of ureadahead issue [22:23] @phawk ok I was wrong http://installingcats.com/2007/11/06/dual-boot-os-x-leopard-tiger-105-104-installation/ [22:24] dodgy_script: what does ping return?

[22:26] Anyone else having totem sound problems after upgrade to Maverick ? [22:26] dodgy_script: have to go, check if the cable is wired well and if the router normall responds to pings [22:26] steven_ no, a kick'n server :) [22:26] ilovefairuz, ping 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.198 both return... ping: sendmeg: operation not permitted [22:26] maverick is 10.10 right? [22:26] phawk: yes [22:26] @phawk What about if you do a UMSDOS install? [22:26] steven_: don't think so, netsplits are sent as a message to those in the chan [22:27] Maverick = 10.10 yes [22:27] @steven_ explain? [22:27] Quick question: how do i remove the floating toolbar with a keyboard icon on it that displays the input mode [22:27] ilovefairuz, if i use arp-scan they show up ?? [22:27] UMSDOS is a way to install linux onto an NTFS or Fat32 partition. [22:28] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT_filesystem_and_Linux [22:28] mongy« so sorry, i only now saw your message: in my situation i even don't have any xorg installed [22:28] yeah i found 10.10 to be no problem on my custom build pc, even the shitty £9.99 wirreless card worked [22:28] @steven_ that may work, will have to give it a go at some stage.. least i still have my terminal in os x though ;) [22:28] dodgy_script: did you install a firewall/iptables script? [22:28] In my nfs exports: 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.0.0 would give me from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.255.255 correct? [22:28] mongy, ubuntu server... [22:28] lcb, ok. I read somewhere it had something to do with mount-all [22:28] lcb, is it booting? [22:28] anyone using ubuntu server / compare it to centos? [22:28] It's actually how I have ubuntu installed on this machine. [22:29] lcb, like if /var was on seperate partition [22:29] lcb, or does it stop after the error message? [22:29] is ntfs as good as hfs+ though? [22:29] phawk, ubuntu is a very big win when compared to CentOS [22:29] is it possible to make an image file of a hard drive (windows 7 partition) and then completely whipe the hard drive, and then restore the image? [22:29] m1chael, clonezilla [22:29] m1chael, dont know why you would want that, but yes [22:29] centos good if you like to take awhile to configure really, really basic things like apache. Ubuntu Server, works out of the box with 99% of what you need to get a LAMP lit. [22:29] journaling the hard drive is just too good for searching :) don know if id stick ntfs === bencahill_ is now known as bencahill [22:30] no but worked with nm i just changed to wicd for scripting with cli [22:30] I've did apt-get update, after that my server was rebooted and Memtest86+ was started.

[22:30] what is avahi-daemon? [22:30] ilovefairuz, no but worked with nm i just changed to wicd for scripting with cli [22:30] sam-_-: yes (i knkow what you gonna say: so foget-it... :) ::) but that's not the case, you know.. any future error we thing they might be related. so better fix it earlier than purge all system [22:30] lcb, what was i gonna say? [22:30] RPM distros in general are known for sending people to dependency hell. It's been lessened a bit with YUM, but I still dread supporting RPM distros. [22:30] yeah, i have two centos servers... was thinking of ubuntu, is the performance of server edition good? [22:30] dodgy_script: anyhow, try sudo ping [22:31] xii so many typos, just correct them please and ignore it afterwards :) [22:31] Depends on how you have it configured honestly. [22:31] ilovefairuz, yeah tryed that sorry ! [22:31] hi how do I find out wich version of Ubuntu I am running? [22:31] !who | steven_ [22:31] steven_: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [22:31] Out of the box performance is on par with a typical setup, but you can always do more to squeeze our extras. [22:31] lcb, i found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/538292 [22:31] is there a file somewhere with the release number? [22:31] sam-_-: i suppose: if boots then forget the warnings / messages [22:31] how can i update my nvidia drivers, I used the additional drivers application but i cant find how to upgrade from those [22:31] ilovefairuz, says the same! [22:32] lcb, and this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309423 [22:32] yeah.. tried nginx the other day as well... though a nightmare to setup php-fpm on centos, it was very very fast [22:32] hi [22:32] i have delete /usr/share/desktop-directories/Office.directory [22:32] could u pastebin it pleaz [22:33] hey guys i need to use my ubuntu laptop to image a failing windows hd .. like norton ghost etc.. im sure there is a way i can use ubuntu for this.. what do i use? [22:33] sam-_-: thanks a lot. i did a purge on unreadahead as i said before but then i got some other errors and i don't want to do it again. i'm going to read those you gave me now. thanks a lot [22:33] Ok so when I was PMing the bot complained that this is a public channel & all convos should b kept there for the benefit of the community. Now it's complaining that this is a public channel & convos should be addressed to the person I'm talking to. Hey ubott /makeupmind [22:33] Hello guys! How do I set up RSYNC to keep two folders identical on different computers? [22:33] what is avahi-daemon? [22:33] dodgy_script: what's the output of : sudo ufw status [22:33] unread* uread*... [22:33] any word on when zfs is coming? [22:33] steven_: like this << not a pm/msg [22:33] lcb, y. probably not a good idea to purge readahead [22:34] steven_: that just means you should address people when you are speaking to someone in this channel [22:34] sam-_-, exactly... [22:34] ideas on ways to force something like aero snap functionality on UNR without compiz? [22:35] @jrib ok will do === justin__ is now known as captnmorgen [22:35] !avahi [22:35] Hello guys! How do I set up RSYNC to keep two folders identical on different computers? [22:35] does DD work for this guys or is there a simple app for the new to linux?? [22:35] Avahi is a system which facilitates service discovery on a local network via the mDNS/DNS-SD protocol suite. This enables you to plug your laptop or computer into a network and instantly be able to view other people who you can chat with, find printers to print to or find files being shared.

[22:36] i'll take a look [22:36] hey guys I'm in the ubuntu 10.10 installer and I'm using the advanced option, where should I install the boot loader? [22:36] dodgy_script: try sudo iptables -F .. and ping again [22:36] Xenith[nb]: "aero snap metacity" in google yields: http://www.thebinaryidiot.com/archives/2010/03/08/aero-snap-effect-for-metacity/ [22:36] @myradlife_ Depends, are they located on the same network? [22:36] steven_: you don't need to put any character (!,@) before a nick [22:36] Is avahi need to connect to other computers in Network? [22:36] steven_, not always, sometime on same network [22:36] needed [22:36] windows install is in /dev/sda, and I want to install ubuntu into /dev/sdd1. where should I install the bootloader? [22:36] steven_, I have a laptop and a server at home [22:36] Xenith[nb]: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555251/ [22:36] does that fall under mutter when that is being used? [22:36] anyone please? it's a really simple question [22:36] Xenith[nb]: what? [22:37] steven_, I have ssh configured so that I copy the folder on my laptop to the server, but I want to set it up so i can edit those files on the server and it syncs back to the laptop [22:37] ilovefairuz, sorry no go! same output ! [22:37] Xenith[nb]: put it in ~/bin, chmod +x ~/bin/snap and then: snap gconf-register [22:37] dodgy_script: does this persist over reboots? [22:38] steven_, although this sounds like a logical problem. something is going to have to know which folder was edited and not overwrite new files with old copies. that seems like an option in RSYNC, but i don't know it [22:38] you mentioned metacity... is metacity in use when using the UNR "Mutter" wm [22:38] Xenith[nb]: you would have to use the left win key + left/right arrow for snapping, and up/down for resizing [22:38] is there a more specialized channel for installations? I can't get an answer to a very simple question [22:39] windows install is in /dev/sda, and I want to install ubuntu into /dev/sdd1. where should I install the bootloader? [22:39] blaenk: sda [22:39] nobody anwerested I just removed avahi-daemon [22:39] it should do that automatically no? [22:39] @myradlife_ Just wondering if rsync is really the best for this. I'm thinking git with a cron job. But honestly i do what you're asking to do everyday with dropbox, been awhile since I looked at rsync. [22:39] whats best to do a drive to drive ghost dd or partimage?? [22:39] * share is invisible [22:39] erUSUL: so overwrite the windows 7 mbr or whatever, right? [22:39] ilovefairuz, it only happens with nm not working if i try without no go ! also i cant ping with wicd installed ?? [22:39] vous pouvez me pastebin /usr/share/desktop-directories/Office.directory [22:39] blaenk: the bootloader should go in the drive the bios boots off from [22:39] steven_, I want to do exactly the same as dropbox [22:40] erUSUL: oh that makes sense, thanks for clarifying I appreciate it [22:40] blaenk: right it will replace ntldr; but grub can boot windows [22:40] !dualboot | blaenk [22:40] blaenk: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [22:40] steven_, I have a cron job right now that copies the laptop to the server on a routine and it works well === nibbler__ is now known as nibbier [22:40] dodgy_script: no further ideas, but i found this http://blog.technogeek.biz/2009/05/ping-sendmsg-operation-not-permitted-in.html [22:40] @myradlife_ Ok just wondering why dropbox isn't being used for this? [22:41] erUSUL: thanks. hey just one last quick question. in the drop down list it gives two options: /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 (Windows 7 Loader), which one? just the drive, /dev/sda? [22:41] No sound from totem, but most other apps are ok. Any idea why ? [22:41] erUSUL: yeah I was looking at that page [22:41] could u me pastebin /usr/share/desktop-directories/Office.directory [22:41] steven_, dropbox has limited memory and i would rather use my own method [22:41] ilovefairuz, its like im not doing something that network-manager is? ok i will have a look!! thankyou [22:41] steven_, i don't want to rely on their service [22:41] blaenk: /dev/sda [22:42] erUSUL: thanks again, I really appreciate it [22:42] blaenk: no problem [22:42] tyranscoter, which are ok, which are not?

[23:09] i have just installed a new hard drive in my laptop. I use 10.04. I had my /home folder backed up, and installed new / on the replacement HD [23:10] question is: [23:10] am i able to copy over some of the features/settings that ended up on my old / partition to the new install? [23:10] (the drive is failing, but hasn't gone yet) [23:10] bt4 r2 im trying to run armitage and every time i scan with nmap i lose my wireless and have to reboot ar5000 [23:10] Craigwell: if you created the user with the same name just move the whole /home and do a chown.

From what I understand it is 8. Anything beyond the 8th character is ignored. Is this true? [23:11] what does avahi_install do? [23:11] jrib: does this mean i didn't have to do an install from the disc for the / partition on the new drive? [23:12] Craigwell: you didn't have to but this is probably easier [23:12] jrib: could i just use gparted live cd and copy the / partition to the replacement drive? [23:12] i have the old drive in a usb enclosure, still can access it easily [23:13] kgs: doubt it; what makes you think it is 8? [23:13] Craigwell: you'd need to update UUIDs in fstab and grub. At this point, I'd recommend doing what I said above with /home (including the chown part). If you want to install the same packages you could still chroot to your old install and use the following factoid: [23:13] * jrib 's mind blanks [23:13] !clone | Craigwell [23:13] Craigwell: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [23:14] erUSUL: A few sources have suggested as much.

[23:19] Craigwell: so /home is on its own drive? You said the drive was failing, didn't you? [23:19] jrib: i used gparted to copy /home to the replacement drive, and configured the new install to use it [23:19] Craigwell: ok, then you're all set. What else do you need to do? [23:20] jrib: there are some configuration settings that seem to have been left behind, [23:20] Craigwell: system settings you mean? [23:20] such as the workaround i managed to get the lovely broadcom wirless working... yes, settings [23:20] Craigwell: system settings are usually in /etc/, you could copy over the files you want from there [23:21] jrib: ok, just replace the fresh installs /etc files with those from the original drive?
