sdfgdoesnt work with this old laptop :)00:00
ether-boypopey, help me find the driver. I have been looking for it since past few day but nothing positive. All I came to know about was few of the macbooks use the same hardware. Mine is a dell inspiron00:00
CraigwellsmallR2003: there may be another reason it is hanging on you, but i would treat it as if you need to reinstall and reconfigure grub as that link explains first, and maybe it will work00:00
popeyether-boy: ah, sorry, i may be wrong, looks like that device doesnt work00:00
cpetschanybody please?00:00
popeycpetsch: how much ram does the computer have?00:00

ether-boypopey, is there any ray of hope? may be in the next release of ubuntu?00:00
popeyether-boy: file a bug :)00:01

costasthat's why I used the ##### symbol. been using linux for decades00:10
DaekdroomIt doesn't matter.00:10
KM0201paisa__: probably not... because 1.  it usualy formats a drive when unetbootin sets it up, and 2.  if you were gonna use it to install, you cant install toa mounted drive(and it would have to be mounted to boot)00:10
SmallR2003what if i switch from grub2 to grub... hmmm00:11
costasit's probably something about alsa, the soundcard module, pulseaudio, and jack... any ideas???00:11

jribKaspi: so just ask that.00:35

DJCharliecpetsch: that sounds like buggy/bad hardware.00:35
Ralliascpetsch: Remove the removable media then reboot again.00:35
DJCharlieplayer: please do not /msg me.00:36
Craigwelljrib: there are several configuration issues that make me want to use my old /etc folder for my fresh install, but two questions come to mind: what is the best way to do this, and should i let update manager run ?00:36
Kaspijrib: both questions will lead to the same result00:36
Ralliascpetsch: In my experience, you will find a perfectly working operating system waiting for use.00:36
Craigwelljrib: my current fresh 10.04 install is off the disc, not net install00:36
cpetschdjcharlie no error messages just a reboot  whenever i get to xserver or the timezone option on install.00:36
jribKaspi: no, question 2 yields the same result as question 2 + question 1 so no point in question 1.  But see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poedit/+bug/672084 about your issue :)00:36
Kaspijrib: anyways, you are right in general meaning00:36
DJCharlieRallias: i think his system is rebooting before the final stage.00:36
Ralliascpetsch: Did you select install or livecd at the first screen00:37
DJCharliecpetsch: check for bad ram.00:37
cpetschralliash alright... let it finish out this run of memory check no errors so far00:37
RalliasDJCharlie: I see that now.00:37
Craigwelljrib: i note you mentioned leaving fstab alone, are there other considerations? this is what i'm thinking: boot via usb off of old hd, use nautilus to copy /etc to new drive..00:37
cpetschrallias i have tried both options with the same ending .. a reboot before i get to xserver00:37
Ralliascpetsch: If you go through livecd, it doesn't have the reboot isue.00:37
DJCharliei dealt with that very issue on new year's day. ended up being a bad motherboard.00:37
Ralliaswell... thats odd.00:37
costasThe only drawback I found using Ubuntu is the soundcard, will fix it and let you know...00:37
cpetschdjcharlie could it be a bad video card causing this ?00:38
costaseven if I have to compile the module myself...00:38
jribCraigwell: you should run update-manager yes.  Maybe a recursive diff with the -q option run on both /etc/ directories will tell you what files have changed and give you some hints as to what you want to copy over00:38
Ralliascpetsch: Does it ask you to install restricted drivers?00:38
DJCharliecpetsch: possibly.00:38
cpetschrallias i try to go to the livecd option but it reboots as soon as it gets to xserver00:38
DJCharliecpetsch: most likely culprit is ram though.00:39
cpetschrallias i havent seen it ask that as of yet but its odd that i can live boot system rescue cd perfectly fine00:39
Ralliascpetsch: does it work with any other OS?00:39
costasit was the snd-ice1712 module, after all... somebody smack me... hahahahaha00:39

My-Computeri know where my power settings are and have them set to stay on always but the percentage of battery power to consider itself low is what i need to change how do i do that01:00

chasisnot all01:15
rwwDexterF: We needed more space on the install CD, and having two command-line package managers was redundant, so we removed the one that's used less and has more dependencies.01:15
ZykoticK9chasis, sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages01:15

gmgbluetooth?01:52
maverick_telegraphs no this is just a small program that looks like it is starting over and over again when im logged in. i can log in and it just appears in my task bar flashing01:52
arch3angelsorry sam just been working on this all day01:52
DexterFhmm. fresh install of 10.10, installed nvidia-glx-185 via command line, now system comes up in 800x600 and no glx at all01:52
arch3angelhere goes the explaination01:52
Telegraphsmaverick_: "in your task bar"?01:52
Telegraphsmaverick_: like a gnome panel?01:53
maverick_telegraphs yes.01:53
Telegraphsand it says, "username"?01:53
Telegraphswhat happens if you click it?01:53
arch3angeli have an iogear usb->bluetooth adapter in my laptop which is ubuntu -- I then have a serial->bluetooth adapter attached to a card read that only transmitts data out bound01:53
Telegraphstry right clicking it and removing it from the panel. If you have to, try deleting the whole panel and making a new one.01:53
maverick_it flashes so fast,but when i can catch it... it is just a small box that says "username" then when i click off it goes away01:53
buckymaverick_, you probably selected to login automatically on boot up and that's why it by passes the login screen like that01:54
arch3angeli must get the data being sent out the card reader to be seen in the ubuntu laptop via bluetooth01:54
maverick_bucky i put my password in01:54
arch3angeli cant seem to find out if i even have them paired correctly which i dont believe i do01:54
maverick_can you post links to screenshots here?01:54
buckymaverick_, when you installed did you choose the option to login automatically01:55
gmgHave you updated your bluetooth drivers?01:55
maverick_bucky no i dont login automatically01:55
bucky!paste01:55

sam-_-arch3angel, i don't understand the serial bluetooth adapter part. could you elaborate?01:56
nv1diaANyone run into a problem where a mouse is recognized as a keyboard?01:56
maverick_ill see if ic an get a snapshot.01:56
arch3angelthe mobile device is a card reader - it communicates via a serial connection to a terminal like hyperterm in windows01:56
sam-_-nv1dia, so if your mouse moves you are actually typing?01:57
nv1dia$ Xinput list says "Newman USB Gaming Mouse" [XExtensionKeyboard] anyone run into a problem like this?01:57
tdebaetsPici: any more suggestions?01:57

nv1diaNo, the mouse just doesnt move at all.01:57
arch3angelthis is attached to a bluetooth device which transmitts data to the laptop01:57
DexterFbut there's no 260 module in maverick and I didnt install it manually. so where does this come from?01:57
Blue1spank its bottom01:57

sam-_-arch3angel, so you got the bluetooth adapter directly plugged into the card reader?01:58
sacarlsonDexterF: it apears to be the nvidia propriatary driver,  you want to turn it off?01:58
arch3angelyes01:58
arch3angeland it is in discovery mode01:59
gmgwhy don't you use a usb port?01:59
arch3angeljust cant get the laptop and the adapter to pair up and transfer the data - also not sure what tty it uses01:59
DexterFsacarlson: no, I need it. but there is no version 260 in maverick, I wonder where this comes from. I installed 185 but X deosnt come up right01:59
arch3angelwhen connected directly it uses ttyusb0 for example01:59
sacarlsonDexterF: it's in ppa02:00

C3Dfollowing plug in has crashed usr/..../flashpluging installer/lipflashplayer.so02:01
DexterFI enabled updates while installign and 3rd party, but apt doesnt list any such driver so where does it come from?02:01
gmgchecj your MAC addresses do they match02:01
arch3angelit needs to be mobile - direct connect was for testing to make sure the code worked02:01

maverick_it seems the problem is fixed...02:04
gmgcan you scan the bluetooth device fromthe laptop?02:04
arch3angelk maybe this will explain it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Shp8BN1IYM02:04

DexterFsacarlson: ok, I'd say: remova all binary drivers and then reinstall. btw: how do I install closed src drivers from the gui? I always do it from cli, maybe the restricted manager does something else02:05
randomanhi02:06
ActionParsnipDexterF: both wil do the same thing, the gui just gives a pretty gui02:06
rgoytacazHello there, how do I set umask to owner and group full access (rwx) and guest none?02:06

hmwIsaac-M: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#Hide_real_floppy_or_hard_drive perhaps?03:45
milambertuna-fish: you can run nmap from the host machine and use the localhost. nmap doesn't cover all ports by default however (man nmap for more info). another option from the terminal is: netstat tupl03:46

GanymedeDoes anyone else find that simply running gnome-system-monitor with the graph tab visible takes up nearly 40% of a core? This is on a somewhat weak laptop (AMD Turion at 2 x 2.1 GHz) with an AMD Radeon HD3200 or something with fglrx. I'm looking for ways to how taxing it is on the CPU...I lowered the "update interval" to 2.0 seconds.03:55
hmwGanymede: that system monitor is just that lame.03:56
sandydGanymede: use htlp03:56
sandydGanymede: *htop03:56
chapiumall, what command can I run to configure wireless networking in Ubuntu?  I do not have access to gnome, but I can run each individual application.03:56
GanymedeI like KDE's ksysguard better because it doesn't have smooth updates but I don't want to pull in so much of KDE.03:56
hmwGanymede: CPU usage should drop significantly, if you switch to a not-so-active tab, like "file system", though.03:57
ironchewGanymede: Have you tried the "cpufreq-governer" package?03:57
ironchew*cpufrequtils03:58

Ganymedeironchew, What benefit would that bring me? I'm currently using the "ondemand" governor.03:58

macoGanymede: hmm didnt realise it did network graph....there are panel applets that do cpu graphs though03:59
sandydnikitis: you sure you have 64-bit ubuntu?03:59
GanymedeI'm also not convinced that the terminal has a good enough resolution for time-series graphs but I'll give it a try.03:59
hmwGanymede: you might use Screen (and split the screens) to have several infos displayed simultaneously.04:00
hmwlike logs, htop, etc04:00
Ganymedemaco, The problem with panel applets is that they're running 24/7...I usually only bring up the gnome-system-monitor when I'm doing some CPU intensive thing like running VMs over network and I want to see the CPU and network usage over time just for that hour.04:00

bloopletechshifnix: you got to choose whether you want to try and get a version of the prop. driver that supports your chipset, or switch over to the radeon driver05:31
bazhangchristhecoolboy, why would you need it05:31
christhecoolboyI think it needs updating...05:31

heslamhey guys. i'm having trouble connecting two computers via an ethernet cable. both computers simply don't seem to be seeing eachother. either the software or the hardware is misconfigured. do i really need a 'crossover cable' as opposed to an ethernet cable? i was under the impression most modern networking hardware knew how to handle it regardless05:32
ducky108well is has to do w wine05:32
shifnixheslam: most gigabit NICs will auto negotiate a crossover connection with a regular straight through CAT5/CAT6 cable05:32
bazhangducky108, #winehq05:32
ducky108ahhh ok PCE05:33
shifnixif one of the machines has a 10/100 NIC or a really wonky gigabit NIC, you need a crossover cable05:33
ducky108#winehq05:33
heslamshifnix: thanks. i'm definitely not using gigabit-class hardware. thanks for the clarification :)05:33

Alec|2CCan someone help me, Im trying to restore grub but my ubuntu partition wont show up to mount, but it shows up in the partition manager05:33

bloopletechshifnix: you'll need to remove/purge the ATI driver, start with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver05:37
jshmoe24bazhang did you see my above post about earlier?05:37
Loneclockhow do you install themes in ubuntu?05:37
bloopletechshifnix: if you installed the propreitry driver using the installer from ATI as opposed to an ubuntu package then you need to remove it a different way05:37
bazhangjshmoe24, yes, and did you try the prescribed fix05:37
jshmoe24yes05:37
bazhangLoneclock, drag the tar.gz to the theme manager05:38
jshmoe24I have before05:38
jshmoe24sudo apt-get install -f05:38
jshmoe24if what its telling me to do05:38
Loneclockbazhang where is the theme manager05:38
jshmoe24and I still get problems05:38
shifnixbloopletech: i don't THINK i installed anything extra; it's got whatever ubuntu put on it and updated through the update manager. if i did, however, add something, it would have been through aptitude05:38
shifnixdefinitely not an ATI proprietary installer05:38
jshmoe24any ideas, hold ill give you outupt05:38
jshmoe24output*05:38
tatvuthanks ubottu05:38
bazhangLoneclock, right click desktop change background, go to themes tab drag there05:38
bloopletechshifnix: ok, cool, then run the commands under the 'Problem: Need to purge -fglrx' section of that article05:39
bloopletechshifnix: actually the 'Problem: Need to fully remove -fglrx and reinstall -ati from scratch' section05:39

Loneclockbazhang what if it is a glow theme?05:39
shifnixbloopletech: ok, i will try this and report back....05:39

jshmoe24I have already went into recovery mode and did dpkg fixing and did sudo apt-get install -f but still nothing. My update manager tries to do it and hangs too.05:47

christhecoolboyMaking Themes...05:47
christhecoolboyHow is it done?05:47
Alec|2ejv, there is no error message, but i installed windows 7 on a new partition, and now I cant access my ubuntu pa partition, that partition shows up in the partition editor as extended05:47
ejvAlec|2: i know very little about grub, i'd check the ubuntu forums or the community docs while you wait, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto05:48
Alec|2ejv, the guide tells me I need to mount the partition, but when I try to mount /sda3 it says: mount: can't find /dev/sda3 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab05:48
Alec|2Ejv, the problem is less about grub and more about this weird partition05:49
ejv^Phantom^: what program?05:49
^Phantom^It's called gbsnd.exe05:49
^Phantom^It extracts audio data from gba games.05:49
NomikosI'm having a strange issue with a (extremely simple proof of concept) php script that I'm trying to start in the background with "./foo.php &" - it refuses to start05:50
ejv^Phantom^: and 'wine gbsnd.exe' doesn't do the trick?05:50
^Phantom^Oh, I didn't try that, let me try05:50
NomikosAs soon as I foreground it, it runs fine. Launching in the foreground also fine. Same script on OS X, & works.05:50
bloopletechNomikos: try "php ./foo.php" instead05:50
Nomikosbloopletech: tried that, too05:50
Nomikosjobs just says it's there but "stopped"05:50
hmwAlec|2: if it tries to look it up in fstab, it means, that it is not a normal ext3/4 partition (did you perhaps reformat the linux partition to NTFS or something?)05:50
bloopletechNomikos: so show the exact command that works and the one that doesn't work?05:51
^Phantom^Ah, that does the trick, thank you, ejv :)05:51
ejv^Phantom^: you're welcome05:51
=== macele is now known as elecam
Nomikosbloopletech: "./foo.php" works, as does "php ./foo.php". "./foo.php &" does nothing until I fg it05:51
Alec|2im not sure hmw05:52
Nomikosbloopletech: this is the script: http://codepad.org/jT5EWr5K05:52
ejv^Phantom^: keep in mind that your mileage will vary for different programs running under WINE. It's the wild wild west.05:52
^Phantom^Hehe.05:52
Alec|2hmw, when i ran this tool under file system it says : extended partition05:52
hmwNomikos: interesting. you could ask in #php, too, perhaps this behaviour is intended...?05:52
Nomikoshmw: they sent me here :-/ but one guy was able to reproduce it.05:53
bloopletechNomikos: wait... what behaviour are you expecting?05:53
jshmoe24lynix you here man?05:53
hmwAlec|2: ah. try sda5 instead05:53
bloopletechNomikos: does it touch a foobar file in the working directory?05:53
Nomikosbloopletech: it should run, create the file foobar05:53
Nomikosbloopletech: it does not05:53
Alec|2hmw, sda5 is linux-swap, should i still do it?05:53
jshmoe24@lynix : I have already went into recovery mode and did dpkg fixing and did sudo apt-get install -f but still nothing. My update manager tries to do it and hangs too.05:53
bloopletechNomikos: your problem is probably that backgrounding it changes the CWD and cuts off STDIN and STDOUT05:54
bloopletechNomikos: change the touch line to be an absolute path05:54
jshmoe24also I cant burn dvds either for some reason05:54
hmwAlec|2: continue trying to mount. next: sda6. one should be your OS partition (verify it, before doing the grub repair)05:54
jshmoe24its really wierd05:54
Nomikosbloopletech: hmm.. a more complicated script had the same behaviour but I'll try05:54
hmwAlec|2 did you pastebin the output of    sudo fdisk -l   already?05:54
jshmoe24r u there lynix?05:55

hmwAlec|2: it is theoretically recoverable, unless the sectors had been written to, which is unlikely in your situation. Get your disk to a professional in order to recover your stuff. If you can't afford it, learn how to and then clone your disk (dd perhaps), then try some recovery tools/procedures on the COPY.06:01

heslam "go look at existing themes" :P06:05
christhecoolboybazhang, what channel should I go to then?06:05
GanymedeThere's a serious bootstrapping issue with that...how did the person write the first theme ever?06:06
shifnixbloopletech: bad news,,,lots of artifacts :(06:06
HunterBukowskichrist:  christ I don't know06:06
bazhangchristhecoolboy, as others have said, check existing ones and learn how those are put together06:06
GanymedeUsing the source as documentation?06:06
bloopletechshifnix: pastie your latest xorg config06:06
hmwchristhecoolboy: I suppose, there is no channel for your question.06:06
christhecoolboyif I edit one, I cant submit it to canoicsal, can I?06:06
christhecoolboy*canoical06:06
shifnixbloopletech: i don't have one by default. i made one to force the VESA driver before, but i moved that so x wouldn't load it06:06
bloopletechNomikos: try ./php > temp.txt 2>&1 &06:06
bazhangchristhecoolboy, you could put it up at gnome-look.org06:07
bloopletechshifnix: Log, not config :)06:07
bloopletechsorry06:07
christhecoolboybazhang, I wanted it to be  a part of ubuntu06:07
a3452336634357hey guys. Does anyone know how to remove menu popup delay in Ubuntu?06:07
shifnixbloopletech: np, sec06:07
Drainix<bloopletech> sorry for the delay06:07
Drainix<bloopletech> I am using the ati propitiatory driver uh I think06:07
bloopletechchristhecoolboy: then you'll need to liase with the people behind the update manager06:07
DrainixAnd I will look for overscan option06:07
shifnixbloopletech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555323/06:08
bloopletechDrainix: I've had similar problems (but with the open source driver). Note your TV may also have an option on handling the input06:08
Nomikosbloopletech: it does create the temp.txt file, but there's no data in it, until I fg it again06:08
Nomikosat which point it also creates the foobar file (from the script)06:09
DrainixIt is actually a computer monitor.06:09
bloopletechNomikos: and you're saying it then works? hmmm06:09
GanymedeIf I want to tune2fs my / to lower the percentage of reserved blocks, do I have any other options other than booting into, say, a LiveCD?06:09
DrainixAnd I can not find any input options in the menu, <bloopletech>06:09
Nomikosbloopletech: well... the php code doesn't actually run, until I fg it06:09
Nomikosat which point, yes, it runs fine. It also runs fine when started in the foreground06:09
bloopletechNomikos:  ok that's really wierd, may be a PHPism06:09
DrainixShould I try installing the open source drivers ? bloopletech06:10
bloopletechshifnix: That looks a lot healthier - what do you mean specifically by artifacts?06:10
Nomikosbloopletech: can you reproduce it - if you're willing?06:10
bloopletechDrainix: I don't know if that would improve things, hang on06:10
bloopletechNomikos: I don't have php installed osrry ;)06:10
Drainixbloopletech: You seem very busy take your time :)06:10
Nomikosbloopletech: fair enough06:10
wookienzguys, why does my NFS share get mounted as UId "1024" gid "users". the only permissions on it are rw for owner. nothing else. ideas?06:10
bloopletechNomikos: I'd google around the php manual / forums / IRC / see if anyone else on linux has the same issue06:11
root_how can i install flash player...?06:11
hmwNomikos: bloopletech: that's what I suspect; because it is a language mainly for web pages, it might be intentional behavior. I'd ask in #php to rule this out. If it turns out, that it is not normal behavior, perhaps people in #bash can help.06:11
hmw!flash06:11
ubottuTo install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also  !Restricted and !Gnash06:11
LoshkiGanymede: no, you pretty much need a livecd to do that kind of change on the root filesystem....06:12
Nomikoshmw: I did ask in #php, one guy could reproduce it and said to ask here06:12
bloopletechhmw: yeah, well php has a specific CLI binary for running scripts from the commandline - so it's wierd that it would wait for a signel to work06:12
GanymedeLoshki, Okay, thank, I was wondering if there was some GRUB option or something to boot into an alternate root of some sort from where I could modify my / filesystem.06:12
mister_mdoes anyone have experience with tiling window managers? Could someone recommend me one that is easy to get started with ?06:12
hmwNomikos: bloopletech: I see. I have no idea, what could be wrong. Can you pastebin the PHP source? But I doubt, the error is there.06:12
bloopletechDrainix: I'll put it this way - the propietry driver may be more likely to have a simple option to fix it. OTOH I actually have some familiarity with the open source driver, and I know how to twiddle more knobs - but the driver probably has less overall support for 3d etc.06:13
Nomikoshmw: http://codepad.org/jT5EWr5K06:13
bloopletechDrainix: btw which chipset do you have?06:13
jshmoe24@root : the website where you download the drivers for my machine which is an acer extensa 5620 is at ==> http://support.acer.com/us/en/product_support.aspx?tab=1  <==  but they06:13
Drainixuhm06:13
Nomikoshmw: that's without the -q and with a full path, in my updated file06:13
DrainixChipset uhm i do not know >.< sorry I don't even have my computer specs memorized06:13
jshmoe24but there are only windows drivers there06:14
jshmoe24no linux drivers06:14
Drainixbloopletech: how could I identify my chipset?06:14
Nomikoshmw, bloopletech: thanks for your suggestions and time, I think for now I'll just start it in a screen session and detach that. Tomorrow I'll try more google fu06:14
bloopletechDrainix: there should be a bit in the control center with the name of your card, Like Radeon xxxx blah blah06:15
bloopletechgive me that06:15
a3452336634357hey guys. Does anyone know how to remove menu popup delay in Ubuntu?06:15
Drainixooh06:15
bloopletechNomikos: np06:15
jshmoe24basically i needa linux alternative driver for an acer extenza 5620 by what your saying, so is there a site that i can find that at?06:15
jshmoe24@root_06:15
hmwScreen is a nice "solution" heh.06:15
DrainixATI Radeon HD 345006:15
LoshkiGanymede: you could create an alternative root system e.g. copy / to a spare partition, then boot the spare, and modify /, but that's a lot more work than just booting the livecd. You might wanna backup the root partition before you go making changes, so having a spare root partition isn't a bad idea anyway...06:15
Drainixbloopletech: ATI Radeon HD 345006:15
shifnixbloopletech: it looks like this: http://shifuimam.com/misc/Screenshot.png06:15
bloopletechjshmoe24: break it down into the actual different pieces of hardware you have, and see which bits need drivers06:15
Nomikoshmw: suggestions welcome :)06:15
bloopletechDrainix: shifnix one sec06:15
hmwNomikos: I am doing a web search right now06:16
GanymedeLoshki, Thanks for the advice.06:16
jshmoe24I have that from the site but hte drivers are in windowz format06:16
jshmoe24@bloopletech06:16
bloopletechjshmoe24: you will need to source drivers from elsewhare, I already told ytou what to do06:16
mister_mdoes anyone have experience with tiling window managers? I'm looking for one that is easy to get started with06:17
bazhangmister_m, perhaps awesome06:17
Nomikoshmw: don't put too much time in it, I've spent way too long on it already. Tomorrow I'll describe the issue better in a longer pastebin with the things I've tried, and show that in #bash and similar06:17
bazhangmister_m, there are a number in the repos06:17
bloopletechDrainix: your chipset should have a reasonable level of support - it may be worth a try if you have a fair bit of time06:18

bazhangshmup, whats the full command06:22
shmupsudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"06:22
bloopletechDrainix: first thing is to double-check that the monitor doesn't have any config options itself06:23

shmupwhat is it requiring after that?06:24
shmupits sitting there, still06:24
shmupwanted me to type _something_06:24
Drainixbloopletech: I installed no drivers with the monitor and the only thing I see that looks like it could help is auto adjust (Greyed out cant use) and Positioning which is also greyed out.06:24
jshmoe24@bloopletech thats a good question if you look at this => http://support.acer.com/us/en/product_support.aspx?tab=1  <== thats the windows one06:24
bazhangshmup, update your sources.list after that then install it06:24

jshmoe24@bloopletech06:25

Drainixbloopletech: fixed it.06:25

bloopletechjshmoe24: what exactly is your issue? Does your computer work? What does / doesn't work? Linking to some POS Acer page is not going to solve you rproblem. As I said at forst, find out what's nto working and then research the specific problem06:26

jshmoe24I have been the whole time06:34
jshmoe24look in past posts06:34

smerzdoes this issue happen before OS start Bluefever ?06:59
BluefeverYes.06:59
smerzthen it is ubuntu independent :)06:59
smerzbut check cabling if you have not done that yet06:59
bloopletechshifnix: wow cool - what fixed it?06:59
BluefeverI made sure everything was tight06:59
shifnixbloopletech: i lied, terminal still artifacts with lots of text output :\06:59

jshmoe24"@bloopletech: <I tried what you said but still have problems have you seen the picture saying "you have two broken dependency on your system use the "broken" filter to locate them>"07:09
sam-_-peyton_westlake, why would you use randr to edit you xorg.conf??07:10
jshmoe24"<bloopletech: what do you think">07:11

jshmoe24I guess i could just go back to 10.04lts07:11
syddrafIs it possible to create a symlink to an sftp directory?07:11
sam-_-peyton_westlake, also what is wrong with: man xorg.conf    or do you have a specific question?07:11
peyton_westlakesam-_-: I'm not sure. With what searching I did, I came across a few different threads that recommended it when trying to set up video and display settings. I found that it didn't work so well for me.07:12
jshmoe24I think 10.04LTS is much more stable than 10.10 ever could be anyone agree?07:12
sam-_-peyton_westlake, maybe i'm missing sth. but what has randr to do with xorg.conf?07:12
glacemanexternal cd-rom drive not being recognized, any ideas please ?07:13
sam-_-jshmoe24, i guess it depends on the hardware.07:13

EagleHi could someone assist me. Would ubuntu 10.10 work on a compact HP Pentium 4 with 2 by 256MB of ram? 20GB hard disk, for internet use only?07:13
jshmoe24I mean is there any help in the house07:13
sam-_-peyton_westlake, me too :-)07:13
jshmoe24I need an admin with some unix commandline  experience here folks07:14
sam-_-Eagle, it will. but you won't have much fun07:14
mainusryou need more ram, it will be slow07:15
sam-_-Eagle, there a "lighter" distributions based on ubuntu though like xubuntu or lubuntu07:15
DannyButtermanHi there. I'm trying to set up an Epson snapscan on a 10.10 box. I got the firmware and now have simple-scan and xsane running, but the scans are blank. I mean the device seems to scan, but the result is blank. Both with simple-scan and xsane. Any clue ?07:16
mainusrminimum of 500 mb of ram will give you a reasonable machine07:16
Eaglesam-_-:  Fun, Im having fun on my PC, This is just for someone else who wants to use it for web browseing only.07:16
sam-_-syddraf, one that is mounted via sshfs?07:16
syddrafRight now, I have nothing. But ill look into sshfs07:17
Eaglesam-_-: And he only wants ubuntu 10.1007:17
sam-_-Eagle, you can try it but it will very likely be a bit slow. browser tend to need a lot of ram these days.07:18
opensauceCould someone please help me fix my grub? This new grub is very confusing. Since updating recently my entry for my Windows has gone and I would like to put it back in the list....but do not know how to... the guides are not clear to me07:18

DannyButtermananyone for my scanner problem ?07:19
sam-_-opensauce, is os_prober in there?07:19
opensaucesam-_- - yes it is 30_osprober07:20
sam-_-opensauce, try: sudo update-grub07:20
sneakyimpi have 4 partitions on a single hard drive, i want to put Ubuntu on the third07:20
sam-_-opensauce, is windows listed ?07:20
opensaucewhen you say listed?07:21
opensaucewhen I run the update?07:21
opensauceno.07:21
DannyButtermansneakyimp: the installation process handles that very well don't worry07:21
sneakyimpDannyButterman: I have already got 2 xp installs07:22
sneakyimpDannyButterman: the basic tools don't cut it because they don't let me specify this third partition07:22
DannyButtermansneakyimp: you have two instances of XP on the same hard drive ?07:22
sam-_-opensauce, hmm strange07:22
sneakyimpDannyButterman: I'm trying to use the advanced partitioning tool and have a couple of questions07:22
sneakyimpDannyButterman: I have a single hard drive with 4 partitions07:23
peyton_westlakesam-_- : This is the site I was found that had what looked like the details I needed to fix my resolution, but it didn'07:23
DannyButtermansneakyimp: as far as I remember, you have to use the advanced partitionning system indeed07:23
mister_mis there like a graphical filebrowser application I can run if I am not using gnome as my desktop environment? I'm not great enough on the command line yet07:23
sneakyimpDannyButterman: that seems clear so far07:23
sam-_-opensauce, ls -al /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober07:24
Blue1mister_m: nautilus07:24
sam-_-opensauce, could you print the output?07:24
peyton_westlakethis was the site that I found about (X)randr https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/#Adding%20undetected%20resolutions07:24
sneakyimpdannybutterman: I see the target partition clearly displayed -- it's /deb/sdb6 (unknown)07:24
mainusrdoes anyone know if perfect ubuntu from catagory5 tv will run on a 64 bit multicore machine?07:24
Blue1mister_m: click on places, then try home folder07:24
opensaucehttp://pastebin.com/YSCy7J8H07:24
opensauceThere is the file contents07:24
sam-_-peyton_westlake, yes but it will not be persistent.07:25
DannyButtermansneakyimp: you don't need to do anything on your ms partitions in the partitionning tool. Just specify the different mountpoints for your ubuntu partition(s), or just one if you only need a root partition (/)07:25
sam-_-peyton_westlake, so you only have a resolution problem?07:25
opensauce-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6933 2010-10-06 14:23 /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober07:25
sam-_-opensauce, looks fine07:26
mister_mBlue1, cool I guess that could work alright if I need to go graphical with the file browsing (which I will). I'm testing out wmii atm07:26
DannyButtermansneakyimp: just specify / as mountpoint for /dev/sdb607:26
Blue1mister_m: not tried wmi07:26
mister_mBlue1, I'll have to set the desktop not to show though07:26
sneakyimpDannyButterman:  Yes I see pretty clearly how to chooose the right partition and set it up to be formatted ext4 with mount point "/" and this is all greek to me.  The remaining questions are: do i need a swap partition and where do i put the boot loader07:26
peyton_westlakesam-_- : Yes, a resolution problem. And now it seems that my graphics drivers aren't being recognized.07:26
DannyButtermanand 1.5x your ram as swap space07:26
mister_mBlue1, I like it so far - it is different. I am waaaay used to the gnome environment though07:27
mister_mBlue1, so it is a big change going to a tiled WM07:27
opensauce:(07:27
sam-_-opensauce, post the output of "sudo /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober"07:27
sneakyimpDannyButterman:  I don't see any additional option to specify a swap partition...I have two remaining partitions but one of them is 60GB -- kind of large for a swap ;)07:27
Blue1mister_m: if you feel brave try this recipe:  http://pkill-9.com/?p=6607:28
sam-_-peyton_westlake, which graphicscard?07:28
sneakyimpDannyButterman:  Also, don't know what to select when it says "Device for boot loader installation"07:28
opensauceSam - is that a command? it does nothing?07:28
DannyButtermansneakyimp: yes you do need a swap partition (1.5x your ram amount). also put the bootloader at the start of your first bootable hdd, I guess /dev/sda07:28
peyton_westlakesam-_- : nvidia 7600gs07:28
sam-_-opensauce, i expected that07:28
opensauceok07:28
sladenhello Nomikos07:29
sam-_-!nvidia | peyton_westlake07:29
ubottupeyton_westlake: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto07:29
mister_mBlue1, I think these tiled WMs are meant for super duper powerusers mostly07:29
DannyButtermansneakyimp: device is probably /dev/sda though I dont know how what your disks are07:29
al_nz1I think I just killed my GDM desktop. After logging in i get black window/taskbar and clock. Pls HELP07:29
sam-_-opensauce, if it would work it would give you something back for the windows part.07:29
sneakyimpDannyButterman:  Hm.  I was hoping to get two unbuntu boots on here for dev purposes...one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit....if i use that last 60GB partition for swap, it's a total waste07:29
opensaucesam-_- : ok07:30
sneakyimpDannyButterman: should I maybe boot up in Win XP one last time and re-arrange my partitions?07:30
sam-_-opensauce, i don't know why grub doesn't detect it anymore.07:30
sneakyimpDannyButterman: the partition-editing tools in this install don't seem particuarly flexible07:30
Blue1al_nz1: can you get to a terminal?  ctrl+alt+f107:30
sam-_-opensauce, you can add it manually though.07:30
opensaucewould you mind helping me adding it?07:30
al_nz1Blue1: yes07:30
Blue1al_nz1: do you know how to restart the gdm?07:31
sam-_-opensauce, sure07:31
al_nz1no07:31
DannyButtermansneakyimp: of course, you're right, you'll need to make another partition from the remaining hdd free space, but you'll have to specify say 1.5GB of swap, not 6007:31
opensauceThank you!07:31
sneakyimpDannyButterman: my computer has two hard drives in it -- both are 250GB.  All of the operating systems are on sdb. sda is a data drive at the moment07:32
Blue1al_nz1: login and then do the following07:32
sam-_-opensauce, it should look sth. like this: http://pastebin.com/06uuNgLH07:32
Blue1al_nz1: sudo service gdm restart07:32
DannyButtermansneakyimp: you should be able to delete, and create partitions at least07:32
sneakyimpDannyButterman: I know i can do this partitioning in XP with the disk management tool.  kind of surprised it's not offered here07:32
Blue1sneakyimp: that's how my folks machine is set up.07:32
al_nz1Blue1: ok done and it takes me back to the gui login window07:33
al_nz1showing me as logged in07:33
sam-_-opensauce, you need to set root and uuid according to your computer07:33
Blue1al_nz1: fine just login again.07:33
al_nz1but when I click on me login the screen goes black before taking me back to the login window again07:33
al_nz1its a loop!07:33
DannyButtermansneakyimp: about the disk order, is the bios configured to boot on sda or sdb ?07:33
peyton_westlakesam-_- : Thanks! :-)07:33
al_nz1also whats different is the login window, not the background just the login window, is like windows classic grey, not full colored like it normally is07:34
Blue1al_nz1: ahh we'll have to do a bit more detective work -- what was the last thing you did before this problem occured?07:34
opensaucesam - can I just replace mine with this?07:34
sneakyimpDannyButterman: I don't know ....let me check07:34
al_nz1Blue1: tyring to get mythtv to install :-(07:34
sam-_-opensauce, what do you want to replace?07:34
Blue1al_nz1: oh i can't help you there07:35
opensauceadd then?07:35
opensauceI am not sure where in the file?07:35
al_nz1Blue1: what about del the file, is it , x11org.conf?07:35
sam-_-opensauce, not so fast. we need to set the correct values first.07:35
sam-_-opensauce, sudo parted -l    post the output to pastebin07:36
sneakyimpDannyButterman:  OK this is confusing.  The BIOs has the first drive as ch1 M.    : ST3250410AS07:36
opensaucesure one sec07:36
Blue1al_nz1: i wouldn't delete it, i'd rename it -- something like:  sudo mv x11org.conf x11org.conf.bkup07:36
Blue1oopsa07:36
sneakyimpDannyButterman: and the second one says ch 0 M.     : ST3250410AS07:36
sneakyimpDannyButterman: the drives are identical so i'm not sure which becomes sda and which becomes sdb07:37
opensaucehttp://pastebin.com/ZRnrkv1M07:37
DannyButtermansneakyimp: also, i don't know for the most recent releases of ubuntu, but I'd always enjoy a partionning tool in previous versions.07:37
Blue1al_nz1: that should work07:37
sam-_-opensauce, also we need the output of: blkid07:37
al_nz1Blue1: where is x11org kept?07:37
DannyButtermansneakyimp: it's the ch order that matters. So you're booting on ch 1 (sdb)07:37
Blue1al_nz1: this way you can see what's in the file, rather then just nuking it.07:37
sneakyimpDannyButterman: i do know that sdb has the WinXP partitions on it...no idea where the MBR might be07:37
DannyButtermansneakyimp: put it on /dev/sdb07:38
sneakyimpOK so CH0 always gets mapped to sda07:38
al_nz1 - /etc/ ?07:38
sneakyimpDannyButterman: and CH1 always gets sdb?07:38
=== Look is now known as _____xd
DannyButtermansneakyimp: yes it does07:38
sneakyimpDannyButterman: OK so To get Ubuntu working on here, I'd need a large partition formatted ext4 with mount point /07:38
Filthy_MacNastyanyone had any luck with the bttv driver on a hauppage card?07:39
opensaucehttp://pastebin.com/paY38khM07:39
sneakyimpDannyButterman: and i would need a a small 3GB swap partition (mounted as /swap i guess)07:39
al_nz1Blue1: any idea where that file is?07:39
Filthy_MacNastyI use 20gb for the / and 2 for swap and the rest for /home07:39
potat0how would I configure DNS servers manually for a VPN?07:39
potat0openVPN is messing up the route table07:39
DannyButtermansneakyimp: yes07:40
sneakyimpDannyButterman: and ther are many options for the boot loader location...like various partitions, entire hard drives as options, and one option that lists windows07:40
Filthy_MacNastywith my scenario if you bugger the / you can reinstall and not format the /home07:40
sneakyimpDannyButterman: i would like my boot menu to show both of my XP boots and also my ubuntu boot(s)07:40
sneakyimpDannyButterman: do i want to choose the boot loader option that says "windows"  Is that the finicky Windows boot loader?07:40
BlueFish_anyone know a tool i could use to defrag my hard dive on ubuntu07:40
Blue1al_nz1: curse this new keyboard - its /etc/X11/xorg.conf07:40
Filthy_MacNastyfsck07:41
DannyButtermansneakyimp: the boot system detects all the OSes and display them for booting don't worry07:41
Blue1BlueFish_: and why would you need to do that?07:41
Filthy_MacNastyBlueFish_ use fsck if you feel the need07:41
Filthy_MacNastyBlueFish_ this isnt your fathers ntfs07:41
sneakyimpDannyButterman: so does it matter where I choose to put my boot loader?  I was under the impression that one must change the MBR ??07:41
Blue1BlueFish_: hint ext4 doesn't fragment like ntfs of fat does07:41
BlueFish_because i know that linux dont defrag like windows but whated to see if there was such a tool07:42
sam-_-opensauce, now put this http://pastebin.com/nPb37EWw07:42
Filthy_MacNastyput your boot loader in the xp drive and it will handle everything for you07:42
sam-_-opensauce, into /etc/grub.d/40_custom07:42
DannyButtermansneakyimp: to avoid troubles, just put your bootloader on /dev/sdb. not /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb6, but /dev/sdb07:43
Blue1BlueFish_: I am not aware of any defraggers that work reliably on ext4, but I could be wrong.07:43
opensauceone sec07:43
Filthy_MacNastythere is no need to defrag07:43
Filthy_MacNastyit just doesnt splatter things all over the drive07:43
sam-_-opensauce, 40_custom should then look like this http://pastebin.com/yRs7GwBH07:44

mfaroukgBlue1: what is that?08:01
DannyButtermansneakyimp: what you're hoping for is standard bootloader behaviour08:01
ActionParsnipconstantin_mike: /home/joe isn't a group, its a folder08:01
sneakyimpDannyButterman:  I'll have to take your word for it. Very new to multi-boot installations08:02
Blue1mfaroukg: i had issues with my lan card, and backporting fixed it -- let me see if I can dig up the orig article08:02
mosesshould i get used to this or can i get a full on console window?08:02

Blue1mfaroukg: give this a glance:  http://pkill-9.com/?p=15208:02
quinnwmoses: That IS a full on console. What's your question?08:03
constantin_mikeActionParsnip: sorry, i was away from my computer for a few minutes. i know that /home/mike is a folder, and i did use your command sudo chown -R :users /home/mike08:04

constantin_mikeActionParsnip: ok, will try08:06
quinnwconstantin_mike: And users is the wrong group.08:06

sneakyimpDoes anyone have an opinion on 64-bit ubuntu?08:06
Blue1sneakyimp: i use it08:06
constantin_mikequinnw: i did add mike & joe into users myself08:06
sneakyimpI was very much hoping to use it as a development platform for a php extension08:06
quinnwconstantin_mike: Mk08:06
sneakyimpBlue1: so you are running 64-bit?  any issues?08:06
constantin_mikequinnw: what is Mk ?08:06

quinnwsneakyimp: Ubuntu k64 is fine.08:07
DannyButtermansneakyimp: feel the Force. Don't let yourself succumb to fear ;)08:07

Blue1sneakyimp: but it runs all my servers and desktop envir too.  chrome and opera work fine.  just no firefox joy08:08
sacarlsonsneakyimp: only problem I see for you is if you use somethingk like firewatir to test with,  I had problems seting it up with the 32bit libs in 64bit, as just a server I guess it should be fine08:08
quinnwIs my question too noob-ish or does no one know?08:09
DannyButtermansneakyimp: you don't lose anything unless you format your ms partition. Be a man, go ahead ! ;)08:09
sneakyimpBlue1: that'll work. I want to write some PHP extensions (AMFEXT)08:09

Valentrying to install 10.10 from livecd, usb-creator silently ignores the amd64 ISO when I tell it to open it, the ISO seems fine md5sum matches and I've extracted everything from it08:10

quinnwValen: How long did you wait?08:11
Valen20 + minutes so far08:11
mosesi downloaded the .run file from nvidia how do install this via console?08:11
sacarlsonsneakyimp: with 64bit running you can always run a 32bit version in virtualbox to try things you might need,  in 32bit I don't think you can simulate 64bit in virtualbox08:11
Blue1yeah that's a faily time consuming procedure I know when I did mine, it took like 40 minutes08:12
Valenturned silent and quiet off to see it actually boot but it pauses08:12
quinnwmoses: Type ./nvidia08:12
Valen40 minutes to boot?08:12
Blue1sneakyimp: what sacarlson said08:12
sneakyimpquinnw: my C chops are really rusty and there was some code in there that had to do with reversing byte-order for network transmission...i just want to make sure my stuff works on both architectures08:12

GneaI've been using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 for quite awhile, and recently I find that I can't connect to wireless networks anymore using wicd.  I noticed that NetworkManager has been running, so I stopped that service, but it didn't do any good. The only way I can get online now is via windows. I've gone through the wifi docs and nothing, the forums don't seem to have this either... the ssid gets set, but dhclient never gets an ip, but it should, what gives?09:01

MoreliiniLiooba: grub-install and grub-mkconfig are the bins you'll need, but sacarlson is right about the order, you could burn your XP cd in Ubuntu Live with Brasero12:36
Lioobaok, i'll stop install and reboot with Live, thx for your advises moreliini and sacarlson12:37
sacarlsonLiooba: ok,  it just adds a bit more work,  so other things sounds like you want then are the restricted package to allow video and music playback and build-essensials http://packages.debian.org/sid/build-essential  for software C and c++ programing12:37
Lioobasacarlson: ok, thanks. btw, do recommend using ext4 for the linux partition(s), instead of ext3 ?12:39

organisepoggle, i've googl'ed it's something after the checking battery state that is causing the problem, how i can find out what is being checked and in what order13:54
jribfarciarz84: what do you want to accomplish though?13:55
farciarz84jrib: :-( what can I do then? I want to user cannot read anything from /home/user/ but can do anything in /home/user/blabla13:55
jribfarciarz84: do not give the user access to the files in /home/user then.  And only give him execute permissions on /home/user13:56
janmoesenfarciarz84: create a directory somewhere else, e.g. under /home or /var and chmod that to 77713:56
farciarz84so he can access/read/write in /home/user/blabla/ but cannot read/write files in /home/user/  '/home/user/ is just a example in fact this is different dir13:56

ProjectTFZOhi all - is there a ubuntu package for usa-19h keyspan usb to serial adapater drivers13:58
lebearthe dvd in my laptop simply refused accepting any discs a few days back. tried blank dvd's, orginal dvd's, dvd-r's etc. nothing happened. I thought it was a hardware issue, bought one of those cleaning discs which actually did load (with some "cleaning in progress" music and video)13:59
jribfarciarz84: example: « mkdir -p parent/sub; chmod a-rw parent »  If you had files in parent, you would need to remove the user's permission on those because even though he cannot « ls parent », he could still access the files there if he knew of them and had permission13:59
lebearnow, how do I proceed to diagnose what the issue might be?13:59
jriblebear: probably a hardware issue, I've had many dvd drives fail.  You could try a different OS to see if it makes a difference14:00
lebearif I put a dics in, it makes some noise for a while,, and the disk utility tells me "no media present"14:00

Flynsarmyhey guys. I've set up mail server on ubuntu using tasksel. I now have to set up email aliases - foo@mydomain.com -> bar@otherdomain.com.au - how would i go about doing this?15:12
Julia_23 I have a system reserved  emtpy SDA1 primary NTFS 100 mb.   SDA2 is 100 gig ntfs emtpy. 3rd partition is extended 50 gig  for linux, finally 2gig swap.  I want to replace the 100 GIG ntfs with ext4 and use that partition as my home folder.... if I replace the system reserved or the SDA2 ntfs partition15:13
Julia_23Sorry, system reserved isnt empty... my bad15:13
panoukla_is there a file system that both windows and linux can use together. for example i have on HD for windows, second HD for ubuntu, and a third HD that i use for music, pictures, etc. problem is i want to host on my lamp and the "storage" hd is NTFS and doesn't play well with writing in the ubuntu install15:14
panoukla_so im thinking i could change the filesystem to play nice with both, if possible15:14
Flynsarmypanoukla_: they both work with NTFS15:14
Julia_23If i format or delete sda1/2 will I lose my grub?15:14
F0sterO4nobody?15:14
Flynsarmypanoukla_: I believe you can also get ext2 working on windows - i did a while back15:14
compdocpanoukla_, samba15:14
Julia_23see, I want to copy some of my old ubuntu files to a new 100 gig ext415:14
panoukla_Flynsarmy, the problem im having is writing to the NTFS partition15:14
Flynsarmypanoukla_: it shoudl work out of the box15:15
skorvJulia_32: are u replacing windows system completely?15:15
PiciFlynsarmy: Modify /etc/aliases and then run sudo newaliases15:15
SA-GeoffF0sterO4, what is your question?15:15
skorvsorry 23 :P15:15
PiciFlynsarmy: See man aliases for the file format.15:15
Julia_23So I want to keep my logical 50 gig linux in tact for the time being, because I dont have any drives to back up my information15:15
Julia_23skorv15:15
cyphaseah, my phone now appears as a digital music player after that last update of the media player info files15:16
rubbsJulia_23: so just make sure I have this right. You have a 100Gb ntfs drive you want to delete and make an EXT4 drive correct?15:16
FlynsarmyPici: I've had a look in there and it seems to take a foo: bar syntax. problem is, i need foo@domain1.com => bar@domain2.com...do i just enter foo@domain.com: bar@domain2.com into the aliases file?15:16
ndtsI'm using Rhythmbox to play music off my iPod touch and it messes up the album artwork. How can I fix this?15:16

Julia_23my windows installation went bad because I never ran chdks before resizing, so I backed up what I could and transferred it to my linux partition.  now my nfts is emtty . would like to dual boot15:16

FlynsarmyPici: the server receives mail for domain.com but not domain2.com15:16
rubbsJulia_23: ah, so you want to re-install windows.15:17
Julia_23maybe place windows on 20 gig15:17

PiciFlynsarmy: Then just put:   foo: bar@domain2.com15:17
FlynsarmyPici: thanks, you've been extremely helpful :)15:17
Julia_23and create a partition for grub15:17
Julia_23to avoid conflictiong os. im kind of new at this so15:17
Julia_23been researching for hours!15:17
rubbsJulia_23: I'd suggest using a partion editor to carve out the partitions you want. Then install windows on the ntfs drive. Then if grub gets messed up you can use the livecd to repair grub.15:18
Julia_23ok15:18
rubbsJulia_23: I'll see if I can dig up a link on how to repair grub... just a sec.15:18
Julia_23does it really matter if i install ubuntu first or not? if i create a small partition for bootloading15:18
Julia_23im sure i can find a grub repair link myself, but if you can find a good one then cool, 10.10 maverick15:19
rubbsJulia_23: not really. Linux second is easier because it's auto-magical. but it's possible to do windows after a linux install.15:19

Julia_23see I already transferred my wubi to a 50 gig and hand to repair my grub, so im fammiliar with that, i know its different for a logical/;primary repair15:19
PiciFlynsarmy: I haven't done it myself, but the manpage for aliases suggests thats the proper syntax.15:19
popeyaroman: it does, but you can convert to other formats easily15:19

thebitguruHi, I have been playing around with samba, resintalled it a few times and now I am noticing that it is using different location for the configuration file, e.g. /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb instead of /etc/samba/secrets.tdb.  Does anyone have any idea where that is configured?16:13

AlecTaylorFinally got around to installing Linux on my Laptop...16:19
AlecTaylorWas unable to resize partitions properly, first boot fails; need to force shutdown, wireless card isn't detected... so I reboot. Then I get this "reloc offset is out of segment" error, and am not able to boot into any OS.16:19
ayeceejoel135: use dd, pipe to scp, perhaps?16:20
sacarlsonA_B_: cool it might even work in a different slot16:20
Da_WreckaThis question may seem peculiar... But here's the deal. I liked the interface in Lucid UNE. I HATE the Unity interface. Is it possible to use the netbook interface from 10.04 in 10.10? Or am I just going to have to format my root partition and install 10.04?16:20
GarzookaI have know idea but I need another os other than dos16:20
AlecTaylorFreeDOS? :P16:20
ayeceecrap. scp doesn't take - as meaning stdin.16:20
IdleOneazert: i would ask in #asterisk16:20
A_B_sacarlson, yes.. this might also explain the endless problems i've been having with the dvb card :)16:20
ZykoticK9Garzooka, 50MB of RAM is probably not enough to run Ubuntu, you should check out one of the smaller/minimal distros out there.  I'm sure the 20k HD was a typo, 20GB would be fine for Ubuntu or others.16:21
joel135how do you do that?16:21
azertare you good on * ?  IdleOne16:21
ayeceejoel135: dd if=hdd_device | ssh sshserver cat > backup.file16:21
IdleOneazert: I don't know it at all sorry16:21

ayeceeoops, that's not quite right either.16:22
Garzookaits just silly, its been acting up since the old hdd stopped spinning up (just beeped)16:22
GarzookaI don't get whats wrong16:22
sipiorayecee: have you tried specifying "/dev/stdin" for the argument to scp?16:22
IdleOneGarzooka: sounds like a hardware problem, see ##hardware.16:22

ZykoticK9m1chael, once you reboot you should have no partitions - you deleted them all.16:24
agentgasmaskAnyone know if you can use Calcurse with calDAV?16:25
ayeceesipior: if that works (and it doesn't for me), might as well scp the hard drive device directly16:25
m1chaeli want to create 1 full linux partition now16:25
=== tux is now known as Tavrinx
Da_WreckaI'd actually recommend NOT doing that, m1chael16:26
Da_WreckaI'd suggest you make at least two partitions; One mounted at /, and the other mounted at /home16:26
ZykoticK9m1chael, until you reboot your system is still using the old partition table, as noted in the last message "The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot"16:26
joel135wait... do I have to use the partition dev or could I use the hd dev?16:26
potatotriphi, i need to change my wifi-adapter setting (PSP XLink mode = true), but i don't know where to find the config-file.16:27
ayeceejoel135: hd dev would be better, that way you can restore the partition table and boot sector at the same time.16:27
sipiorayecee: if you're trying to pull from a disk, best to pull the partitions with partimage and then send them along with scp. or simply use pax.16:27
ZykoticK9m1chael, typically linux will use a minimum of 2 partitions, a / and a swap -- technically swap isn't required, but you usually should have one.16:27
ayeceejoel135: but you could do either.16:27
joel135great16:27
Da_WreckaMy recommendation; Three partitions, one for /, one for /home, and one swap. Unless you're forgoing swap, which can be done with enough RAM.16:28
ayeceejoel135: sipior's got a point, partimage would be better, but what I've described will still work.16:28

Dr_Willis_I always put at least a 512mb swap on any HD. just in case I use a live cd. :) they can use it.16:29

joel135do I need to be root?16:30
ayeceejoel135: yes, definitely.16:30
ayeceejoel135: the partition on the hard drive should not be mounted either. this is something you'd normally do from a livecd.16:30

IsmAvatarHey guys, ubuntu took a dump on me. First, it was alright, but Firefox was crashing with a Bus Error. Now, Ubuntu won't even start, getting to the loading screen with the dots, but it never gets past that. HD activity seems almost unceasing during this. It's not the HD, because dual boot Windows works fine.17:10

undecimjayz33: Ahh. What is being done in that link can be done without rebooting.17:19
Dr_Willis_Julia_23:  a /boot/ partion is handy. but not needed.17:19
jayz33undecim: Ok how do I do that please? I really don't want to repeat the whole install process even if this is fairly new, 3 days old.17:19
tsimpsonjayz33: why do you want /tmp to be a partition?17:19
Dr_Willis_Julia_23:  i have a /boot/ of a few gb in size. i keep ISO files on. and set grub to boot the ISO files as a 'rescue/renstall' option17:19

NooBoontooHello, I've been having some problems with my Xserver, you know, screen resolution allways mess up not even if I save a good file as root... Anyway, I was gonna use BLENDER, when I got this in the TERMINAL17:20
Julia_23Dr:  nice. Will a grub partition avoid the problem of windows copying over my grub loader?17:20
NooBoontoohttp://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L1m9pTHW17:20
Julia_23if I want to say, reinstall windows 717:20
Dr_Willis_Julia_23:  windows overwrites the MBR bootloader secton of the HD.. so no it wont fix that.17:21
dmexJulia_23: You would need to install Windows first to avoid it over-writing grub.17:21
bencahillJulia_23: what everyone else said ^^ but if you want/need to install windows afterwards, you can use a ubuntu livecd to fix grub17:22

sipioropiumJ: i believe there is a #gentoo on freenode.17:26
ayeceetehbaut: is it always on the same sectors?17:26
tehbautayecee, eh... it's got some bad sectors, but I didn't think it was dead yet17:26
opiumJty17:26
saulusthanks ayecee. didnt know ddrescue is able to copy files.17:26
sacarlsoneree: that looks good to me, so did you enable network in the ubuntu host?  what mode did you select?17:26
Julia_23A popular way to circumvent OS boot loader incompatibilities is to install a small,  independent "boot" partition (must be a primary partition) in which one  specific bootloader is permanently stored. The MBR is then permanently  set to always refer to the partition of this primary bootloader (and is  never allowed to be changed or to refer to the partition of any other  bootloader). This primary bootloader (in the boot partition) lo17:26
tehbautayecee, I would venture to say it usually happens around the same spots17:27
ayeceesaulus: ddrescue doesn't copy files, but it may be able to recover enough of the filesystem to recover the files within.17:27
ayeceetehbaut: it seems likely that the drive is taking to long to respond when it's rereading the questionable sectors.17:27
ayeceeso linux resets the drive, and rediscovers it.17:27
tehbautayecee, is there any way to increase the timeout?17:27
poggleso the install is ALL FINISHED AYAY!!!! BUT! when the system is meant to reboot there is nothing but a blinking box17:28

al_nz1Heeeeeelp! Please! I have borked my gnome I think. When I login I get a black screen, black mouse, and status bar with clock but nothing else17:28
saulusayecee: I am running ddrescue /my/problem/file /my/secure/file.17:28
Julia_23I'm sorry if I am too slow for you here, but I want to be 100% certain its not worth installing a GRUB partition17:28
al_nz1still got terminal via C-A-F117:28
ayeceetehbaut: I'm not sure how to disable automounting, but it shouldn't be too difficult. That's probably the better approach.17:28
tehbautayecee, well that and having to sit here and continually baby sit the drive until the process is complete... which is terrible slow as it is17:29
NooBoontooDoes anyone knows how to fix an Nvidia issue?  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L1m9pTHW17:29

tehbautsata17:32
sipiorsugoruyo: "macbook" refers to a rather large swath of machines at this point. which one are you interested in?17:32
ayeceetehbaut: in this case, it's not the drive, but the USB enclosure that's taking too long to respond. You could put ddrescue in a loop with a sleep, that might work. Connecting directly would be best, though.17:32
ayeceefar faster too17:32

metalfan___milamber, whats the big difference between a server/desktop cd anyway?19:14
RaqnOk, I now have a problem where ubuntu wont let me mount any USB drives whatsoever. Whats wrong with it because the USb drive is brand new and works on this computer, just not my other one19:15

ActionParsnipinashdeen_: i'd look into wireshark maybe. There are tonnes of guides for wep attacking19:15
ZenMastaschnuffle I dont get any erors when I reload apache and if you notice in the config I linked it, it mentions port 8019:15

inashdeen_just a note for everyone, i'd tested and find out that clamwin run quite smooth ( and fast) in wine. so i believe it is a good alternative for those who wanna scan their files before sending to fellow windows user19:17

YankDownUnderinashdeen_, Easy. As the "root" user, you can create a simple text file (like a batch file) that will scan for you - what you basically do is find all the commands/switches you want to use, put that into your "script", chmod +x your script, plonk it in the /usr/bin/ directory, and then setup a cron job so it's run at whatever time.19:35

Then if you restore one window by click on it on the bottom panel, and click 'show desktop' or mod4+d, the other window re-appears. I do not believe this is the intended behavior.

mbrigdanundecim, It said that my home was already encrypted. (I am EXTREMELY sure it wasn't, given that there was no mounted ecryptfs under mount, I could access me files when I logged in as root, etc.) Thats irrelevant now though, because my problem is that it won't auto-mount.20:54

rtdosaeon-ltd: is that basically the same thing for xfce, lxde, and other desktops?20:55
aeon-ltdrtdos: how do you mean?20:56
undecimmbrigdan: You have automatic login disabled, correct?20:56
bencahillYugnoswam: ignore the instructions, as they do not apply to you in any shape, form, or factor :)20:56
mbrigdanundecim, That's correct20:56
rtdosaeon-ltd: is xfce4 desktop available without all the xubuntu extras?20:56
bencahillYugnoswam: you cannot install windows from inside linux onto the disc linux is running on, by any stretch of the imagination :O20:56
Yugnoswambencahill: well I have tried booting but it just went past it.20:56
undecimand /home/.ecryptfs/user/.ecryptfs/auto-mount exist, correct?20:56

DShepherdanyone can tell me what program i can use to burn and avi to a dvd so that it plays in a dvd player?20:57
aeon-ltdrtdos: no idea, seach around in synaptics, though imo if you want 'light' then don't use DEs :)20:57
Yugnoswambencahill: linux isnt running on a disc?20:57
bencahillYugnoswam: You say this is a computer you bought? what model?20:57
undecimDShepherd: Try devede20:57
kwtmDShepherd: I would use "K3b" but you might use "brasero", I think.20:57
jribDShepherd: devede20:57
bencahillYugnoswam: sorry, disc = hdd20:57
somaunnDShepherd, use brasero for that20:57
kwtmundecim: Oh, does GNOME Ubuntu not use brasero any more?20:57
Yugnoswamdisk = hdd? disc = CD/DVD etc20:57
somaunnDShepherd, burn it as a file20:57
undecimDShepherd: He wants to burn a DVD20:57
Yugnoswambencahill: it's just the pc I have had forever20:57
undecimDShepherd: I don't think Brasero will convert an AVI to a DVD20:58
guntbertYugnoswam: not sure if this applies to your problem: http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony20:58
bencahillYugnoswam: no, I'm saying above ^^ when I said disc, I meant hdd, you're correct, I should have used disk or hdd :)20:58
kwtmYugnoswam: That's how a lot of people use disk/disc but there is no official correct difference between the two.20:58
DShepherdundecim, ok...20:58
DShepherdsomaunn, would burn it so that it plays in a dvd player?20:58
Yugnoswamguntbert: I am running ubuntu and another version of windows 7 as a virtual disk already20:58
bencahillkwtm: meh, I agree with him, I just messed up above :)20:58
undecimDShepherd: oops, wrong person... mean those last two messages for kwtm20:58
DShepherdundecim, devede you say?20:58
bencahilllol :)20:58
undecimDShepherd: Aye. You should be able to install that from the software center.20:58
Yugnoswambencahill: k. well when you do it off your desktop you can choose clean install which formats your hdd as if you booted off the disc.20:59
kwtmundecim: Oh, okay. I admit I use KDE programs a lot more.20:59
DShepherdkwtm, k3b is an kde app right?20:59
kwtmDShepherd: Yes, it is KDE.20:59
Yugnoswamkwtm: with a K is your HDD, with a C is a CD/DVD/Blu-ray etc20:59
somaunnDShepherd, if your dvd player supports mp4 and/or Divx then you can do it like that20:59
bencahillYugnoswam: what in the **** are you talking about? what do you mean by "off your desktop"?20:59
undecimDShepherd: It will convert the video to DVD format, let you setup menus if you want, etc.20:59
kwtmYugnoswam: Are you telling me or are you asking?  If you are asking, my answer is above.  If you are telling me, then I would respectfully say that what you say doesn't apply all the time, and leave it at that.21:00
Yugnoswambencahill: You put the disc in, it is supposed to bring the installation up, then you can choose upgrade (vista and above) or clean install. if you chose clean then it formats your hdd then installs as if you had booted from the disc origionally.21:01
Yugnoswamkwtm: ok, sorry.21:01
bencahillkwtm: see this page for common and accepted usages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_of_disc21:01
Yugnoswamkwtm: I did not mean to offend you in any way, shape or form. My apologies.21:01
bencahillYugnoswam: lol ;)21:01
Yugnoswambencahill: I am right with the disc/disk thing right?! XD21:02
bencahillYugnoswam: according to me and wikipedia, yes. I have not done much or any actual study on the matter.21:02
bencahills/me and wikipedia/wikipedia and I/ :)21:03
bencahill^^ meh, forget that :(21:03
Yugnoswambencahill: I've had this conversation before and it's always been that way. so we and wiki are right I think.21:03
bencahillYugnoswam: probably :), but it doesn't really matter, and is ot...back to your problem :)21:04
bencahillYugnoswam: when you say 'You put the disc in', do you mean boot to it?21:04
Yugnoswambencahill: but back to the problem at hand. Would I need to partition beforehand? I've tried that before and being on windows, it didn't realise the PSU wasn't big enough and broke because it didn't have sufficient power so I don't do partitioning myself.21:04

ACameronJackyAlcine: That's correct.  "mount: mounting [stuff] \n failed: Invalid argument"21:13

bencahillso you start with no windows open...then open two (let's say terminal) windows...then click the 'show desktop' button (or press mod4 + d), they both minimize. Then if you restore one window by click on it on the bottom panel, and click 'show desktop' or mod4+d, the other window re-appears. I do not believe this is the intended behavior.

sandstromjrib: I disabled password logins at the remote (when I created the user) could that have something to do with it? (though man-pages said that key auth would still be allowed)23:01
sandstromjrib: (for this specific ssh user)23:01
adi11bencahill: i have problems with my eyes. this is why i need bigger fonts in the popups of the osd of ubuntu23:01
bencahilladi11: you mean the notifications in the top-right hand corner?23:01
cryptodirajrib: sorry, missed that request.... that page wants me to install additional plugins... looks like i need an actual installer... sigh.   Thank YOU for your help.23:01
jribsandstrom: it should still work, but you could re-enable it just to troubleshoot23:01
sam-_-FiReSTaRT, in the order it works :-)   kernel   headers-all  headers-generic23:01
adi11bencahill: yes. the black windows with white fonts.23:02
dodgy_scriptadi11, bencahill , there was a package called notify-send for manual notifications maybe that has options?23:02
FiReSTaRTsam-_-: ok.. sounds like a plan.. thanks buddy.. i never did this outside of the normal update process :)23:02
jribcryptodira: that page would display the flash version if firefox actually detected your libflashplayer.so.  Is libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins/?  Maybe you did not close firefox properly after putting libflashplayer.so there.  Close firefox, then check to make sure it isn't still open using « ps -ef | grep firefox »23:02

Kevin147I have a new desktop, and I have like 600 GB left on my HD. I'd like to know if theres a way (without removing ANY ubuntu stuff) to partition part of my home folder that is free to put windows on?23:41
dibsKevin147: try gparted23:41
aeon-ltddibs: do they have the title bar?23:42
Kevin147dibs: will it remove any of my files? :S I'm scared about that.23:42
dibsaeon, yeah I just got my compiz running so I could enable the window decorator plugin so I didn't need to manually run a "metacity --replace"23:43
dibsaeon-ltd: The wobbly windows etc works too, but no dragging?23:44
aeon-ltddibs: the buttons work right? (the close minimize etc)23:44
bj0Kevin147: it shouldn't, but you should always back up important files anyway23:44
dibsaeon-ltd: yes, that's how I get it to wobble, min then max23:44

jribcybastl: why don't you just write a small script and run that, I hate ugly crontabs.  Anyway, try using absolute paths for everything for starters.  Also, why do you end a field with a comma?23:59
cybastlif i just do ls instead of the script/runner part it works23:59
