[00:00] doesnt work with this old laptop :) [00:00] popey, 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 inspiron [00:00] smallR2003: 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 work [00:00] ether-boy: ah, sorry, i may be wrong, looks like that device doesnt work [00:00] anybody please? [00:00] cpetsch: how much ram does the computer have? [00:00] * jasono is back (gone 00:07:59) [00:00] popey, is there any ray of hope? may be in the next release of ubuntu?

Lets take this into ##devil if you wish [00:02] I have a problem with my Ubuntu studio (amd64) 10.04 version, I'm an old debian user and used Ubuntu for sound post production... [00:02] ether-boy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [00:02] popey, thanks :) [00:02] if I were to use unetbootin to install an ubuntu server, is netinstall the optimum selection ? [00:02] after an upgrade, i have no sound... [00:03] ether-boy: its not too hard, you need a launchpad account, and run "ubuntu-bug linux" in a terminal, follow the prompts :) [00:03] sdfg: that works [00:03] anyone????? [00:03] sdfg: i have done that recently === Warlord- is now known as Warlord [00:03] popey, alright let me try then... :) thanks for the help [00:03] HELLOOOOOOO [00:04] can i push this iso to the computer via a net install on partimage? [00:04] ether-boy: good luck [00:04] Anyone that is REALLY a linux expert in here????? [00:04] costas: yes [00:05] popey, the problem probably is my delta 1010 soundcard... [00:05] unetbootin does not boot up when i restart :( [00:05] costas, lol, everybody is an expert in himself :P :D [00:05] hahahaha, I know...

I'm missing the main menu bar in it... [00:07] popey, not me because hp killed acpi so i have no idea of percentage left [00:07] popey..., this ain't the solution man... [00:07] it's just [00:07] the problem I'm having... [00:08] paisa__: have you tried a different thumb drive?... some thumb drives just dn't boot very well (ive' had some that do great, others that won't do it at all) [00:08] myradlife_: i don't have any experience with it, but this may be what you are looking for then: http://freefilesync.sourceforge.net [00:08] heh SmallR2003 [00:08] seems that delta 1010 isn't supported, any hints????? [00:08] costas: you say it worked previously, before upgrading? [00:09] I'll just try to reinstall it don't get what's wrong [00:09] f#ck man, debian is better... [00:09] KM0201, cant unetbooting use my hard drive as the thumb drive for booting up?

[00:09] costas: if you prefer debian, use it [00:09] I won't no worries man [00:09] whatever i do i can't make windows boot :/ [00:10] that's why I used the ##### symbol. been using linux for decades [00:10] It doesn't matter. [00:10] paisa__: 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) [00:11] what if i switch from grub2 to grub... hmmm [00:11] it's probably something about alsa, the soundcard module, pulseaudio, and jack... any ideas??? [00:11] Hey guys, anyone else having touble installing the update for "XUL + XPCOM application layer"?? Every time I try to get that update, it fails.

[00:15] is there any else channel with even more people than this one on the freenode btw? :) [00:15] any ideas people -without compromising my Ubuntu? [00:15] Kaspi: Probably not. [00:16] costas: is your sound card driver installed properly? [00:16] costas: and is it loaded to the kernel? [00:16] yes, it worked perfectly when I installed the Ubuntu studio ISO [00:16] Kaspi: it's unlikely, but if your'e using xchat, you can see a list of all xchat channels [00:16] *freenode channels [00:17] KM0201: I'm using piding and last time i tried to list the rooms, it crashed gnome, so I'm rather not trying to anymore [00:18] Kaspi: at the moment, it looksl ike #ubuntu is first, 2nd is #archlinux(941), 3rd #debian(898, 4th is gentoo(866), and 5th is ##linux(832) [00:18] (because of so many channels) [00:18] I'll probably have to reinstall alsa... what do you think popey?

[00:19] _AV_: a lot of people come in here complaining about that device(or maybe its always you?)..... i've yet to see a solution to getting them working.. [00:19] _AV_: if it's READ only, then you can't erase it. [00:20] costas: you did not answer my question... is the driver now installed properly (do you know how to find out?) and loaded to the system? [00:20] i had /home on a separate partition backed up, so no problems there [00:20] is gpg the file encryption tool? [00:20] how can i find out what is running on a certain port in my system? [00:20] ether-boy: looks that way [00:20] no, I am no newbie... but the problem is the module, any good app that will FORCE install the module? [00:20] ether-boy: I wonder if my mac has the same chip, will check in the morning. you can subscribe to that bug to follow progress [00:20] <_AV_> Is the first time I'm asking for it, in this channel.

[00:35] any ideas????? [00:35] Craigwell: what's up? [00:35] jrib: then I will ask the somebody to open and check if he's got a menu bar there [00:35] rallias never got to that option.. just reboots [00:35] Soo.. I was wondering if someone could help [00:35] Kaspi: so just ask that. [00:35] (I have to rebuild the modules, probably...) [00:35] cpetsch: that sounds like buggy/bad hardware. [00:35] cpetsch: Remove the removable media then reboot again. [00:36] player: please do not /msg me. [00:36] jrib: 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] jrib: both questions will lead to the same result [00:36] cpetsch: In my experience, you will find a perfectly working operating system waiting for use. [00:36] jrib: my current fresh 10.04 install is off the disc, not net install [00:36] djcharlie no error messages just a reboot whenever i get to xserver or the timezone option on install. [00:36] Kaspi: 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] jrib: anyways, you are right in general meaning [00:36] Rallias: i think his system is rebooting before the final stage. [00:37] cpetsch: Did you select install or livecd at the first screen [00:37] cpetsch: check for bad ram. [00:37] ralliash alright... let it finish out this run of memory check no errors so far [00:37] DJCharlie: I see that now. [00:37] jrib: 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] rallias i have tried both options with the same ending .. a reboot before i get to xserver [00:37] cpetsch: If you go through livecd, it doesn't have the reboot isue. [00:37] i dealt with that very issue on new year's day. ended up being a bad motherboard. [00:37] well... thats odd. [00:37] The only drawback I found using Ubuntu is the soundcard, will fix it and let you know... [00:38] djcharlie could it be a bad video card causing this ? [00:38] even if I have to compile the module myself... [00:38] Craigwell: 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 over [00:38] cpetsch: Does it ask you to install restricted drivers? [00:38] cpetsch: possibly. [00:38] rallias i try to go to the livecd option but it reboots as soon as it gets to xserver [00:39] cpetsch: most likely culprit is ram though. [00:39] rallias i havent seen it ask that as of yet but its odd that i can live boot system rescue cd perfectly fine [00:39] cpetsch: does it work with any other OS? [00:39] it was the snd-ice1712 module, after all... somebody smack me... hahahahaha [00:39] so folks, anyone have a suggestion on fixing this: http://pastebin.com/3rSSaRMD ? 15 hours is way too long.

[01:34] ActionParsnip: its for a video box and hence should run vdpau the best it can [01:34] <^Mike\b> When I try to change the theme on my desktop, it isn't applied properly.

[01:35] ActionParsnip: once i have the model of the controller are there any search terms i should use?

I'm stuck on the fugly fallback theme you get when you do `gksudo gedit` etc [01:36] ^Mike\b, here is a list: apt-cache search gtk2-engines [01:36] Jello_Raptor: ubuntu , should do it [01:36] DexterF, thats PPA and extras.ubuntu.com repo [01:36] DexterF: the vdpau team ppa may help [01:37] ActionParsnip: never heard of. where..? [01:37] ActionParsnip: in #bash, they redirect me back to here [01:37] DexterF: you'll find it if you search [01:37] ActionParsnip: did [01:37] thanks [01:37] tdebaets: well thats messed up, you are using bash scripts...

[01:37] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: I just reinstalled it - no change :\ [01:38] ActionParsnip: its the scripts used by ubuntu... [01:38] ActionParsnip: [02:37] you need to fix your bash installation or permissions, but that's OS specific [01:38] ^Mike\b, are you using gnome? [01:38] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: yes [01:39] ^Mike\b, try logging in with another user. if this works there is something wrong in your configfiles [01:39] tdebaets: sounds like it to me [01:39] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: will do [01:39] can someone please suggest a site to learn how to make a template on OO>? [01:39] I am using OO on LUcid [01:39] openoffice.org [01:39] #openoffice.org induz [01:40] ActionParsnip: any idea how to fix the bash installation or permissions? [01:40] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: AHA!! It does work on a guest user! :D [01:41] ^Mike\b, i can't tell you how to fix it without getting rid of your config alltogether [01:41] <^Mike\b> sam-_-: If you can point me to where this configuration is stored, I'll try poking around in there a bit.

[01:59] just cant get the laptop and the adapter to pair up and transfer the data - also not sure what tty it uses [01:59] sacarlson: 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 right [01:59] when connected directly it uses ttyusb0 for example [02:00] DexterF: it's in ppa [02:00] hi [02:00] but does it work then?

[02:01] checj your MAC addresses do they match [02:01] it needs to be mobile - direct connect was for testing to make sure the code worked [02:02] arch3angel, i would be extremely surprised if it worked [02:02] ya i can hcitool scan and get the mac [02:02] Hello there, how do I set umask to owner and group full access (rwx) and guest none?

[03:43] Isaac-M: go into the bios and see if there is any kid of floppy/legacy floppy options enabled [03:43] There's not [03:43] Perhaps attaching a real floppy? *smirks* [03:43] That's actually not that bad of an idea [03:43] lol [03:44] milamber: I looked already, there's not [03:44] There arem [03:44] aren't very many options [03:44] milamber: I was thinking from inside the host in question and without actually trying those ports. But nmap worked too. [03:44] at all [03:45] Isaac-M: http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#Hide_real_floppy_or_hard_drive perhaps? [03:46] tuna-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 tupl [03:46] hmw: I'm booting off a LiveCD (or LiveUSB, rather) [03:47] Will that still work? [03:47] milamber, yeah, that was what I was thinking of, couldn't remember the command. But after you said nmap, I just used it -- worked just as well. [03:47] Anyone having issues with flash not fullscreening in any browser on 64-bit 10.10? [03:48] does anyone know anything about capital management what exactly is a senior analyst do there? [03:48] nikitis: did you perhaps enable the option to point at a window to give it focus (unlike having to click it first)? [03:49] tuna-fish: nmap just puts out the data in an easier format for me to read. whatever works though - glad you found what you were looking for. [03:50] milamber: thanks. [03:50] tuna-fish: np [03:50] hmw, not sure what you mean? [03:50] hmw: I just found this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/7697 Do you know how I would go about doing that, since it's a liveCD? [03:51] nikitis: I mean System / Preferences / Windows / Select windows when the mouse hovers over them [03:51] nikitis: this enabled prevents fullscreen from staying (it switches back to normal window mode instantly on my PC) [03:51] hmw, no, it is not enabled [03:52] :( well... would have been a reason. [03:52] hmw what happens for me is, I click fullscreen, or control F, and it flickers as if it is going to fullscreen, then back to normal screen except now the flash window is white. [03:52] and compiz is disabled [03:52] happens whether it's enabled or disabled [03:53] nikitis: you tried 64-bit flash? [03:53] nikitis: sounds like some messed up flash plugin or some other nasty bug. I have no clue, how to approach your prob. [03:53] sandyd, how can i tell which flash I have? [03:54] nikitis: you installed flash through the ubuntu repos right? [03:54] all, what would the impact of adding an invalid LANG variable in /etc/environment ? [03:54] sandyd, i believe so through flashplugin-installer [03:55] nikitis: then you have 32bit flash wrapped in nspluginwrapper [03:55] nikitis: here -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1414595 [03:55] Does 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. [03:56] Ganymede: that system monitor is just that lame. [03:56] Ganymede: use htlp [03:56] Ganymede: *htop [03:56] all, 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] I like KDE's ksysguard better because it doesn't have smooth updates but I don't want to pull in so much of KDE. [03:57] Ganymede: CPU usage should drop significantly, if you switch to a not-so-active tab, like "file system", though. [03:57] Ganymede: Have you tried the "cpufreq-governer" package? [03:58] *cpufrequtils [03:58] ironchew: that wont really affect that that system monitor app is stupidly resource intensive [03:58] True. [03:58] sandyd, i just removed then installed adobe x64 flash, but now it's saying I need to install flash [03:58] ironchew, What benefit would that bring me? I'm currently using the "ondemand" governor. [03:58] Ganymede: gnome-system-monitor has been like that for years... i usually just use the "top" command to see what's going on === james is now known as Guest26881 === poggle_ is now known as poggle [03:59] maco, I usually use "top" too but I'd like a time-series graph of both CPU and network usage in one place. [03:59] use htop [03:59] it's more fun [03:59] Ganymede: hmm didnt realise it did network graph....there are panel applets that do cpu graphs though [03:59] nikitis: you sure you have 64-bit ubuntu? [03:59] I'm also not convinced that the terminal has a good enough resolution for time-series graphs but I'll give it a try. [04:00] Ganymede: you might use Screen (and split the screens) to have several infos displayed simultaneously. [04:00] like logs, htop, etc [04:00] maco, 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. [04:01] sandyd, Linux collins 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 02:41:37 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [04:01] But I don't want them to bump up my CPU fan speed by taking up that extra 5% CPU or whatever. [04:01] Especially while I'm sleeping. [04:01] hey [04:01] Ganymede: you can "Add To Panel" the "System Monitor" [04:01] nikitis: is adobe flash in http://about:plugins ? [04:01] but that's for CPU info only, Ganymede [04:01] I'm looking for a markup language similar to markdown but with extended functionality....it's in the ubuntu repos but I can't remember it's name [04:02] hai - How do I give a user in addition to the owner of a directory access? [04:02] Ganymede: hah. it shows network activity, too... [04:02] does anyone know the name ? [04:02] Ganymede: maybe try procmeter3? [04:02] Hey, I would like to create a 40GB partition with GParted, but the "resize/Move" option is shaded out. Does anyone know what I could do? [04:02] maco, Ganymede: even Conky might help [04:02] sandyd, chrome - no, firefox - no [04:03] aria2 [04:03] hmw: conky's an "all the time" app too though [04:03] zoid: was that to me>? [04:03] Bluefever: did you perhaps miss to click the real partition, by selecting the parent extended partition? [04:03] nikitis: download this http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz , unzip, and stick the file in ~/.mozilla/plugins [04:03] nvm [04:03] Can't I make a Ubuntu USB installer usind a memstick image anymore? [04:03] what is the name of a markdown-like formatting language in the ubuntu repos, I can't remember the name of it and it's driving me crazy! [04:03] Ganymede: im just searching in apt, but... procmeter3 and nmon might work [04:03] no leachim6_ , i just discoverd ariq2 is very good! [04:04] aria2 [04:04] @hmw no I clicked the first one /dev/sda1, but its shaded. [04:04] Is that right? [04:04] Bluefever: is it mounted? [04:04] Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I will look through them, starting with maybe procmeter. [04:04] I can't find the page in the wiki. [04:04] Yes [04:05] Bluefever: you need to unmount it first. Of course, you can't change the root partition, since you cant unmount it. In this case, you would use a live cd. [04:05] "Warning: This applies just to Ubuntu 9.04. Ubuntu is NO LONGER distributed in IMG format, except for some machines :-(" [04:05] sandyd, okay, browsers play in windowed, but when trying to fullscreen, it crashed with the puzzle piece [04:05] So does that mean I actually need to burn a CD just to make a USB istaller? [04:05] That can't be right. [04:06] quinnw: one can use the ISO to make a USB boot flash drive [04:06] So I put in a live CD, and Unmount it and create the partition like that and then restart? [04:06] nikitis: thats the best that flash can do. You tried in firefox? [04:06] sandyd, i never had this problem before [04:06] can anyone help refresh my memory [04:06] in 64 bit === jay is now known as Guest72985 [04:06] sandyd, anything major change? [04:06] Bluefever: the live cd wont auto-mount your drives, so the unmounting part isnt needed. [04:06] it's sort of like markdown or textile but greatly enhanced [04:06] I can't remember the name of the package! [04:07] nikitis: did you update any graphics drivers of any sofrt? [04:07] Alright, thank you you've been a great help. I really appreciate it. [04:07] Bluefever: yw [04:07] Blue... damn [04:07] hmw: Yeah. I remember doing that before, in multiple releases, but is the prcess the same? [04:08] sandyd, hmm. not in a bit, but now that you mention it, it seems like the same time frame since I last compiled them that i started seeing this error. But 3d works, and so do games etc [04:08] quinnw: I think so... I am not 100% sure, but I believe, I made a working 10.10 USB BOOT Flash drive some weeks ago... [04:08] nikitis: the problem with flash is that its quite finky, and breaks easily === Guest72985 is now known as Hi-TechHate [04:08] sandyd, i'll try and redo my graphics drivers [04:08] hmw: Ok. Then I'll keep looking. [04:08] quinnw: I am using the GUI tool for that, btw. there might be other ways. [04:09] nikitis: see if you can replicate what you had before you last compiled them [04:09] and im having a huge lag here... [04:09] leachim6_, apt-cache search markdown or apt-cache search textile produces a number [04:09] hmw: Since I'm not running Ubuntu right now, I certainly hope so hehe. [04:09] bazhang: yeah but those are not them, I checked that. [04:09] say i have a question i got skype running on lucid and i keep getting pop ups but i dont see the process anywhere how can i get to it? [04:10] quinnw: ah. there are tools for windows to write the disk. you should find them quite easily. [04:10] i am kinda new [04:10] bazhang: I don't like wasting people's time, I've tried all of the obvious, google, multiple apt-cache searches [04:10] leachim6_, then you need to specify exactly what you want to do [04:10] quinnw: you also can make the USB disk from a live CD! [04:10] (while it is booted, i mean) [04:10] well, I want to format my notes for class, but I want to write them in plain text to convert to pdf later [04:10] I need more functionality than markdown, but less than LaTeX [04:10] leachim6_, so a text to pdf converter [04:10] leachim6_: HTML? [04:11] hmw: I'm using Slackware and don't have an optical drive that works. [04:11] hmw: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Create%20Bootable%20USB%20Manually [04:11] quinnw: oh my. Good luck! *smirks* [04:11] say i have a question i got skype running on lucid and i keep getting pop ups but i dont see the process anywhere how can i get to it? [04:11] hmw: That looks like what I need. [04:11] no, it's another markup language sort of in the middle of markdown and LaTeX [04:11] I know I'm being vague and unhelpful I just can't remember the name of the package [04:12] leachim6_: restructured text? [04:12] leachim6_: I was wondering, if you could/would want to write your stuff in HTML. Has obvious advantages. [04:12] does anybody have a clue how much bandwidth it would take out to send 1000 short text emails? [04:12] barf [04:13] will someone help me? [04:13] azulita too much [04:13] azulita: I'd guess something between 2x and 4x the size of the messages, if they are really short even more (overhead) [04:13] okay, thanks [04:13] can anyone see this???? [04:13] * sympt0m looks [04:14] No. [04:14] VisualAssassin: of course, you are Visual after all. [04:14] h4x0rz: i would love to but i am also new [04:14] hmw: nah, it looks like markdown is my best bet, I just can't for the life of me remember the name of this package [04:14] h4x0rz, do you have the notification area in the panel? [04:14] ok how come i can log on here, but i cant log on to any irc channels on my incredible? [04:14] !ask | h4x0rz [04:14] h4x0rz: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:14] the pandoc package has a convenient markdown2pdf command [04:14] hmw, he asked already [04:14] Because smartphones aren't smart! [04:15] sam, h4x0rz: my oops. [04:15] quinnw, you have virtualbox on slack? [04:15] it says the nick is already registered....yeah registered to me...and i dont remeber my password, so what is an easy way of changing it? [04:15] h4x0rz: so, you want to get skype to the foreground? I suppose, you tried ALT-TAB already? [04:15] how can i find a program running in background? [04:15] VisualAssassin: ask in #freenode for a pw reset [04:15] yes [04:15] hola [04:15] or hi [04:15] VisualAssassin: after 6 months, the ops will release the registration. [04:16] digitalfiz: What? [04:16] it hastn been 6 months i know that for a fact === xbmc is now known as seriousness [04:16] what is the command to ask #freenode? [04:16] quinnw, if you have virtualbox you can mount the iso and set the only harddrive to your usb stick and install that way [04:16] h4x0rz, ps aux | grep notification-area [04:16] digitalfiz: Ah yeah. [04:16] h4x0rz, what does it tell you? [04:16] VisualAssassin: /join #freenode [04:16] VisualAssassin: use /msg nickerv gost name passwd to reclaim [04:16] h4x0rz: you *should* see an Icon in the Notification Area. If that icon simply vanished (by error), you might get it back by restarting the window manager [04:16] digitalfiz: But then I have to mess with that haha. [04:17] schnuffle: VisualAssassin doesn't know the password [04:17] lol [04:17] ghost [04:17] digitalfiz: As in http://digitalfiz.com/ ? [04:17] 1 sec [04:17] yaw [04:17] Lol [04:17] Nice [04:17] ;) [04:17] VisualAssassin: then you'll have to ask somebody to reset [04:18] digitalfiz: I'm the same as over in #assaultcube [04:18] quinnw, yeah i figured so [04:18] what is "ps aux | grep notification-area" [04:18] adquiri una cam star tec hc 328 pero los deiver son para win...alguna idea de como hago para conseguir los drive para ubuntu? [04:18] english! [04:18] if it is forterminal its dling something [04:18] h4x0rz: shows lines of the output of ps, which contain "notification-area" [04:19] !es | julieta [04:19] julieta: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [04:19] h4x0rz: but I think, that will not run as a process. You could also try to restart Skype: Find skype with ps and kill the process, then start it again.

[04:27] Danny78: to verify, if your Ubuntu is set up correctly, you might boot a live cd on the evil pc. [04:27] bazhang: put on how? [04:27] h4x0rz: for what purpose?

[04:30] hmw: most the distros I've tried install and boot up fine, but the mouse pointer just sits there [04:30] Danny78: that is unusual. Perhaps the USB controller isn't working? tail -f /var/log/messages and watch the output, while plugging the mouse in.

[04:34] Danny78, tough break. You need a ps2 mouse for those, or yes get a kvm switch with usb in it. [04:34] USB mouse on PS/2 was never a problem for me. I just hate this almost-working adaptor, I need to use for my old PS/2 keyboard. That adaptor crashes on me all the time, and I need to reconnect [04:34] Danny78: you could try Synergy - sort of a virtual KVM [04:34] KVM == Kills Via Motherboards :) [04:34] aliendude5300, sometimes you just have to wait till someone is free. [04:35] amazon10x: you can just put one iso on it and for me it works flawlessly, unetbootin wasn't so stable to use [04:35] fluvvell: ps2 KVM connector on usb port, but I have 1 ps2 port on the mobo, so I can put the mopuse on that and then the keyboard won't work [04:35] schnuffle: alright, i'll give it a try === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [04:35] Danny78: that computer appears to be broken.

Will update grub work if im operating linux on a flash drive? [04:53] bloopletech: no, not the proprietary, the FOSS radeon driver. [04:53] anyone know what sort of port on a mobo you could attach a ps2 connector to?

[04:54] aliendude5300: so basically you'll want to purge/get rid of whatever you have before and set the card to use the radeon driver [04:55] gbear14275, they are the same under the hood. try 10.10 [04:55] bloopletech: yes, I know. I'm trying to get the edgers version of radeon to function again, since installing an Nvidia card broke it when I uninstalled the nvidia driver [04:55] amazon10x: type dmesg in a terminal [04:55] Bazhang, one problem, my ubuntu partition isnt appearing in "places" to mount [04:55] schnuffle: i can't get to a terminal [04:55] aliendude5300: oh, so just reinstall the xorg-edgers ppa [04:55] it boots and i get some kenrel messages then the screen goes blank [04:55] Alec|2, then boot from live usb stick and reinstall grub per the guide [04:55] aliendude5300: and add what I linked to your xorg.conf [04:55] it seems to continue booting. the fan spins up, then my wifi card turns on [04:55] Alec|2: try following the recipe I gave you. [04:56] bazhang: what about lubuntu? [04:56] amazon10x: press CTRL+ALT+F2 [04:56] Ok Bahzang, just sudo update grub ? [04:56] schnuffle: tried it, not working [04:56] gbear14275, low end, sure (less ram slower cpu) [04:57] I already have the edgers repo installed, but my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is empty... should I just put the device section in there? [04:57] bazhang: the lubuntu installer has failed on a few different attempts [04:57] amazon10x: boot in fail saave mode [04:57] schnuffle: how do i do that [04:57] gbear14275, there's a lubuntu iso? [04:58] i don't see a menu option for it. is it a boot option i can pass? [04:58] bazhang: yeah, but it's not officially canonical [04:58] amazon10x, hold shift at boot choose recovery [04:58] aliendude5300: durr yes [04:59] gbear14275, then install whichever, and run either !puregnome or !purekde !pure xfce and install lubuntu-desktop [04:59] ok, trying that [04:59] Is there a way to make "apt-get install" download and install things in parallel rather that sequentially? That is, it should download the first package, and then install that package while the next one is being fetched, et cetera. At the moment, it fetches everything at once and then installs everything at once, which isn't a good use of time since one step is network bound and the other is not. Google turned up something about making multiple [04:59] fetches in parallel, which is not quite what I want. I'm looking something similar to Gentoo's parallel fetches for emerge. [04:59] bazhang: ah, ok good point [04:59] Ganymede, not to my knowledge, you could check the manual for apt though [04:59] Bahzang, sudo update-grub isnt working [05:00] Alec|2, thats not what I said to do [05:00] Ganymede: note that if there's dependencies, you can't fully parralelize it [05:00] my bad Bahzang, let me look at these guides people sent me first [05:00] one of them required sudo update-grub [05:01] Can anyone recommend a good brand for KVM switches?

[05:07] shifuimam: Well this laptop is an evergreen/redwood chipset - which is a new series, so it had no open source support at first [05:08] Over the past 9-10 months the support has improved to the level I can use it as normal [05:08] Although, I use metacity with compositing off [05:08] bloopletech: well, as far as what you did with xorg. linux buddy of mine has indicated that i might have no choice but to use an older version of xorg [05:08] compiz may still be too complex at the moment [05:08] i can't help it, i like The Shiny :\ [05:08] shifuimam: hang on [05:09] * shifuimam hangs [05:09] is there a terminal emulator for windows like that in ubuntu?

[05:36] ducky108, you never even joined there [05:36] ????????? [05:36] I need to restore Grub but am having problems with the guide, anybody? [05:36] i'm vietnamse [05:37] !vn | tatvu [05:37] tatvu: Để được trợ giúp về Ubuntu bằng ngôn ngữ Việt, xin vui lòng /join #ubuntu-vn. Rất vui lòng được giúp đỡ [05:37] shifnix: you'll need to remove/purge the ATI driver, start with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver [05:37] bazhang did you see my above post about earlier? [05:37] how do you install themes in ubuntu? [05:37] shifnix: 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 way [05:37] jshmoe24, yes, and did you try the prescribed fix [05:37] yes [05:38] Loneclock, drag the tar.gz to the theme manager [05:38] I have before [05:38] sudo apt-get install -f [05:38] if what its telling me to do [05:38] bazhang where is the theme manager [05:38] and I still get problems [05:38] bloopletech: 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 aptitude [05:38] definitely not an ATI proprietary installer [05:38] any ideas, hold ill give you outupt [05:38] output* [05:38] thanks ubottu [05:38] Loneclock, right click desktop change background, go to themes tab drag there [05:39] shifnix: ok, cool, then run the commands under the 'Problem: Need to purge -fglrx' section of that article [05:39] shifnix: actually the 'Problem: Need to fully remove -fglrx and reinstall -ati from scratch' section [05:39] Any ideas why I might not be able to disable tap to click? [05:39] bazhang what if it is a glow theme? [05:39] bloopletech: ok, i will try this and report back.... [05:40] then make dure your xorg.conf is either set to use the radeon driver, or not specifally setting a driver [05:40] once i've done all this do i need to redo any configs as well? [05:40] ok [05:40] shifnix: then reboot and see [05:40] Loneclock, not sure what a glow theme is [05:40] I like how I've been using my battery on battery without charging for at least three hours and the battery is saying it is fully charged and is charging. [05:40] Please help, Im trying to restore grub/find my files but I that partition isnt showing up [05:40] @bazhang : this is the output of sudo apt-get install -f from before ===> debconf: DbDriver "config": could not open /var/cache/debconf/config.dat [05:40] dpkg: failed to open package info file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' for reading: No such file or directory: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [05:40] bazhang there is a png image and some code in gedit [05:41] you are now talking on [05:41] Poshepocket: aha, my netbook does the same thing [05:41] I hate my battery, it is so frustrating. Unless I restart the whole thing, it won't show me an accurate amount of battery it has. [05:41] Loneclock, does not sound like a theme [05:41] bazhang nvm [05:41] shifnix, rawr [05:41] so are there any other servers? [05:41] ducky108, you are not in there [05:41] @bazhang : did you see my responce [05:41] :? [05:42] Bahzang, You helped me alot before , is it possible to get one more piece of advice? [05:42] dang your the ubuntu master hazbang everyone wants your help, hahaha rofl [05:43] hazbang has like 3 or 4 conversations going on at once. Nice. :) [05:43] glad not being bazhang :) [05:44] rofl [05:44] I dont think i will ever get this worked out I can't find anything on it anywhere else [05:44] no one seems to have an answer [05:44] of what? [05:44] ans [05:45] tell prob [05:45] lynix you talking to me [05:45] ? [05:45] Can anyone help me, Im having trouble restoring Grub [05:46] I have a libc6 dependency problem [05:46] yup! [05:46] <^Phantom^> How can I run a windows command-line executable from within terminal? [05:46] Alec|2: an error message or some real details might get you further... [05:46] ^Phantom^: you need to use a windows emulation program like "wine" [05:47] 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. [05:47] <^Phantom^> I have wine, but the program is command-line based. [05:47] @lynix [05:47] Making Themes... [05:47] How is it done? [05:47] ejv, 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 extended [05:48] Alec|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/GrubHowto [05:48] ejv, 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/mtab [05:49] Ejv, the problem is less about grub and more about this weird partition [05:49] ^Phantom^: what program? [05:49] <^Phantom^> It's called gbsnd.exe [05:49] <^Phantom^> It extracts audio data from gba games. [05:50] I'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 start [05:50] ^Phantom^: and 'wine gbsnd.exe' doesn't do the trick? [05:50] <^Phantom^> Oh, I didn't try that, let me try [05:50] As soon as I foreground it, it runs fine. Launching in the foreground also fine. Same script on OS X, & works. [05:50] Nomikos: try "php ./foo.php" instead [05:50] bloopletech: tried that, too [05:50] jobs just says it's there but "stopped" [05:50] Alec|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?) [05:51] Nomikos: 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] ^Phantom^: you're welcome === macele is now known as elecam [05:51] bloopletech: "./foo.php" works, as does "php ./foo.php". "./foo.php &" does nothing until I fg it [05:52] im not sure hmw [05:52] bloopletech: this is the script: http://codepad.org/jT5EWr5K [05:52] ^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] hmw, when i ran this tool under file system it says : extended partition [05:52] Nomikos: interesting. you could ask in #php, too, perhaps this behaviour is intended...? [05:53] hmw: they sent me here :-/ but one guy was able to reproduce it. [05:53] Nomikos: wait... what behaviour are you expecting? [05:53] lynix you here man? [05:53] Alec|2: ah. try sda5 instead [05:53] Nomikos: does it touch a foobar file in the working directory? [05:53] bloopletech: it should run, create the file foobar [05:53] bloopletech: it does not [05:53] hmw, sda5 is linux-swap, should i still do it? [05:53] @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. [05:54] Nomikos: your problem is probably that backgrounding it changes the CWD and cuts off STDIN and STDOUT [05:54] Nomikos: change the touch line to be an absolute path [05:54] also I cant burn dvds either for some reason [05:54] Alec|2: continue trying to mount. next: sda6. one should be your OS partition (verify it, before doing the grub repair) [05:54] its really wierd [05:54] bloopletech: hmm.. a more complicated script had the same behaviour but I'll try [05:54] Alec|2 did you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l already? [05:55] r u there lynix? [05:55] hmw, here is a disk utility output http://paste.ubuntu.com/555317/ [05:55] bloopletech: it's the same with a full path [05:56] Hello, I recently connected a HDMI cable to my monitor, my monitors maximum resolution is 1680x150 at 60Hz. I set it to that resolution and all the other offered resolution in the ATI administrative control center yet, there are black bars on the top, bottom, right and left depending on particular resolution, but I can not find one that just fits, any help is appreciated. [05:56] sda3 is the 118 gbs where ubuntu supposedly was hmw [05:56] jobs shows "[1]+ Stopped ./testing.php" and fg will run it, create the file, echo, etc [05:56] also, mounting sda5 (the swap did not work) hmw, and there is no sda6 [05:56] bloopletech: interestingly, i cna't get the ATI driver to show iup in the restricted drivers manager for the life of me [05:57] Nomikos: hang on [05:57] Sorry maximum resolution is 1680x 1050 60 Hz * [05:57] Alec|2 according to the info you pastebinned, you managed to delete your linux partition. There should be a big unused gap in your extended. [05:57] there is hmw [05:57] shifnix: I don't trust that dialog box ;), what's happening for you at the moment? [05:57] does that mean my files might be recoverable? [05:57] the Internet was distracting me; about to reboot [05:57] i'm assuming just restarting X won't cut it? [05:57] did lynix and bazhang both forget about me? [05:58] hello guys :) [05:58] Alec|2: your output says otherwise. There is only a 11 GB swap partition. [05:58] helow [05:58] Nomikos: run php -v and see if the PHP executable is under the CLI or the CGI SAPI? [05:58] SADFACE [05:58] hello root_ can you help me? [05:58] Ny indians hear [05:58] I spend like 5 minutes typing my help question thing and get no help :( [05:58] ya [05:58] hmw, my partition editor says there is 112 gb in sda3 as unallocated, this is where my linux partition should be [05:59] Drainix: ooh diddums. So you're using the ati propietry driver? [05:59] is there any way to install ubuntu with minimal damage to any files that might not have been deleted? [05:59] bloopletech: http://codepad.org/UBDMtDm3 [05:59] 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. [05:59] jshmoe24 i wil............ [05:59] Drainix: Is there an overscan option in the control center? [05:59] Alec|2 an extended partition is just a place holder for more partitions, if you used up the 4 primary ones. your sda3 is containing sda5 in a sense. [05:59] how do I make my own theme? [05:59] libc6 dependency problems [05:59] @root [05:59] * Nomikos waves at sladen [05:59] ??? [06:00] cant burn any dvds either just quit [06:00] so do you think all of my data is unrecoverable hmw? [06:00] with update i thing [06:00] think* [06:00] bloopletech: AFAIK it's a standard apt-get install php5-cli, if that helps [06:00] Nomikos: yeah, it's CLI, one sec [06:01] its the problem of ur dvd driver......... its my dvd driver ? [06:01] really [06:01] how do you get that [06:01] I'm reading this post-install script that someone else wrote...he put some enivironment variables in (MATLAB_JAVA) in /etc/environment but others (like JAVA_HOME and EC2_PRIVATE_KEY) in /etc/profile...why are the environment variables split across these two files? [06:01] Alec|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] one sec ill try to find asource tar file for it [06:02] hmw, I have some experience with file recovery tools [06:02] i think ill use that [06:02] thank you, ill do that now [06:02] Nomikos: try ./foo.php -- & [06:03] how can i install flash player...........? [06:03] how can i install flash player...........? [06:03] also are you sure the absolute path is correct? [06:03] how can i install flash player...........? [06:03] root_: try google [06:03] Alec|2: you could try testdisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk) [06:03] bloopletech: same, with and without "php" in front of it [06:03] spam is off topic lol [06:03] thank you hmw [06:03] I'm asking a question but not getting an answer === justin__ is now known as captnmorgen [06:04] hi people [06:04] hey guys. Does anyone know how to remove menu popup delay in ubuntu? [06:04] probable reason: nobody knows really. [06:04] Nomikos: hmm, in other news, you can drop the '-q' - it's not a valid otion to the phpcli binary [06:04] bloopletech: another channel suggested it was related to stty and to try "stty -tostop", but that didn't do it either [06:04] hola [06:05] I ask a simple question that I do not know "how do I make my own theme on ubuntu?", and nobody knows... [06:05] dropped [06:05] christhecoolboy: ^ ... you will have to find various dirs and adjust scripts aso. Start slowly by changing a working theme. [06:05] christhecoolboy, its outside the scope of this channel [06:05] christthecoolboy: i recommend studying an existing theme. to be honest that's the best literature i've found on the subject too [06:05] "go look at existing themes" :P [06:05] bazhang, what channel should I go to then? [06:06] There's a serious bootstrapping issue with that...how did the person write the first theme ever? [06:06] bloopletech: bad news,,,lots of artifacts :( [06:06] christ: christ I don't know [06:06] christhecoolboy, as others have said, check existing ones and learn how those are put together [06:06] Using the source as documentation? [06:06] shifnix: pastie your latest xorg config [06:06] christhecoolboy: I suppose, there is no channel for your question. [06:06] if I edit one, I cant submit it to canoicsal, can I? [06:06] *canoical [06:06] bloopletech: 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 it [06:06] Nomikos: try ./php > temp.txt 2>&1 & [06:07] christhecoolboy, you could put it up at gnome-look.org [06:07] shifnix: Log, not config :) [06:07] sorry [06:07] bazhang, I wanted it to be a part of ubuntu [06:07] hey guys. Does anyone know how to remove menu popup delay in Ubuntu? [06:07] bloopletech: np, sec [06:07] sorry for the delay [06:07] I am using the ati propitiatory driver uh I think [06:07] christhecoolboy: then you'll need to liase with the people behind the update manager [06:07] And I will look for overscan option [06:08] bloopletech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555323/ [06:08] Drainix: I've had similar problems (but with the open source driver). Note your TV may also have an option on handling the input [06:08] bloopletech: it does create the temp.txt file, but there's no data in it, until I fg it again [06:09] at which point it also creates the foobar file (from the script) [06:09] It is actually a computer monitor. [06:09] Nomikos: and you're saying it then works? hmmm [06:09] If 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] And I can not find any input options in the menu, [06:09] bloopletech: well... the php code doesn't actually run, until I fg it [06:09] at which point, yes, it runs fine. It also runs fine when started in the foreground [06:09] Nomikos: ok that's really wierd, may be a PHPism [06:10] Should I try installing the open source drivers ? bloopletech [06:10] shifnix: That looks a lot healthier - what do you mean specifically by artifacts? [06:10] bloopletech: can you reproduce it - if you're willing? [06:10] Drainix: I don't know if that would improve things, hang on [06:10] Nomikos: I don't have php installed osrry ;) [06:10] bloopletech: You seem very busy take your time :) [06:10] bloopletech: fair enough [06:10] guys, why does my NFS share get mounted as UId "1024" gid "users". the only permissions on it are rw for owner. nothing else. ideas? [06:11] Nomikos: I'd google around the php manual / forums / IRC / see if anyone else on linux has the same issue [06:11] how can i install flash player...? [06:11] Nomikos: 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] !flash [06:11] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:12] Ganymede: no, you pretty much need a livecd to do that kind of change on the root filesystem.... [06:12] hmw: I did ask in #php, one guy could reproduce it and said to ask here [06:12] hmw: 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 work [06:12] Loshki, 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] does anyone have experience with tiling window managers? Could someone recommend me one that is easy to get started with ? [06:12] Nomikos: bloopletech: I see. I have no idea, what could be wrong. Can you pastebin the PHP source? But I doubt, the error is there. [06:13] Drainix: 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] hmw: http://codepad.org/jT5EWr5K [06:13] Drainix: btw which chipset do you have? [06:13] @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 they [06:13] uhm [06:13] hmw: that's without the -q and with a full path, in my updated file [06:13] Chipset uhm i do not know >.< sorry I don't even have my computer specs memorized [06:14] but there are only windows drivers there [06:14] no linux drivers [06:14] bloopletech: how could I identify my chipset? [06:14] hmw, 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 fu [06:15] Drainix: there should be a bit in the control center with the name of your card, Like Radeon xxxx blah blah [06:15] give me that [06:15] hey guys. Does anyone know how to remove menu popup delay in Ubuntu? [06:15] ooh [06:15] Nomikos: np [06:15] basically 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] @root_ [06:15] Screen is a nice "solution" heh. [06:15] ATI Radeon HD 3450 [06:15] Ganymede: 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] bloopletech: ATI Radeon HD 3450 [06:15] bloopletech: it looks like this: http://shifuimam.com/misc/Screenshot.png [06:15] jshmoe24: break it down into the actual different pieces of hardware you have, and see which bits need drivers [06:15] hmw: suggestions welcome :) [06:15] Drainix: shifnix one sec [06:16] Nomikos: I am doing a web search right now [06:16] Loshki, Thanks for the advice. [06:16] I have that from the site but hte drivers are in windowz format [06:16] @bloopletech [06:16] jshmoe24: you will need to source drivers from elsewhare, I already told ytou what to do [06:17] does anyone have experience with tiling window managers? I'm looking for one that is easy to get started with [06:17] mister_m, perhaps awesome [06:17] hmw: 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 similar [06:17] mister_m, there are a number in the repos [06:18] Drainix: your chipset should have a reasonable level of support - it may be worth a try if you have a fair bit of time [06:18] Nomikos: well... you got me started *g* i might not be here tomorow :/ [06:18] bazhang, I was considering dwm [06:18] ya [06:18] Would anyone be willing to help me set up/configure an irc server for use with a game server I'm running? I'm fairly new to irc but very keen on learning [06:18] bazhang, I suppose I should just try them all out [06:19] hmw: just saying, if you have something more important to do .. but I'm not stopping you ;-) [06:19] :) [06:19] shifnix: well that is wack [06:19] bloopletech: i know :( [06:19] shifnix: hmm [06:19] * Nomikos will be here for a while yet, and leave irssi running [06:19] it makes terminal completely unusable [06:19] shifnix: you're running 10.10 with gnome right? [06:19] unrelated to my previous question, but I somehow managed to stop my open apps from appearing on the 'panel' I have on the bottom of my screen. How do I get them back? [06:19] shifnix: are you running compiz? [06:19] bloopletech: no. it won't enable. [06:20] Nomikos: did you try to call your script with php and WITHOUT the sheebang? [06:20] shifnix: as in, the option is greyed out? [06:20] hmw: ..that one, not yet. hold on [06:20] bloopletech: I have nothing but time,Just no idea what to do.:) [06:21] Can i get gtalk ???? [06:21] do i need to add something back to the panel? [06:21] hmw: same :/ [06:21] bloopletech: it's not grayed out, but when i click it, the screen flashes a few times and i get a popup saying that desktop effects could not be enabled [06:21] mister_m, reset panels to default? [06:21] !resetpanels | mister_m [06:21] mister_m: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [06:21] shifnix: hmm hang on [06:22] sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found [06:22] , running 10.04 server [06:22] bazhang, thanks boss [06:22] shmup, whats the full command [06:22] sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" [06:23] Drainix: first thing is to double-check that the monitor doesn't have any config options itself [06:23] i'm just trying to install sun's java [06:23] sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" shmup [06:24] what is it requiring after that? [06:24] its sitting there, still [06:24] wanted me to type _something_ [06:24] bloopletech: 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] @bloopletech thats a good question if you look at this => http://support.acer.com/us/en/product_support.aspx?tab=1 <== thats the windows one [06:24] shmup, update your sources.list after that then install it [06:24] I cant find anything in linux for this situation === VanDyke_ is now known as VanDyke [06:24] Drainix: Yeah I meant on the monitor hardware itself, so if no option then: [06:25] @bloopletech [06:25] bloopletech: Wow. [06:25] bloopletech: fixed it. [06:25] Drainix: second is to grab the latest version of the propietry drivers for linux, install them, and see if there's a scaling / overscan slider. try using that [06:25] wut [06:25] lmfao [06:25] I hit the factory reset option [06:25] Drainix: HURR DURRR [06:25] Guess I should have tried that first, but I never changed any settings. [06:25] bloopletech: sorry to waist your time :P [06:26] bloopletech: thank you though xD [06:26] @bloopletech thats a good question if you look at this => http://support.acer.com/us/en/product_support.aspx?tab=1 <== thats the windows one [06:26] jshmoe24: 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 problem [06:26] Drainix: no problem :0 [06:26] *:p [06:27] Nomikos: how weird... [06:27] guys i have a problem with main hp dv7 4177nr [06:27] wit wireless ralink [06:27] I have thats why im asking you because you are the one that says you can help in some way but you not helping much im trying to give you my output so you know my situation!

I'm starting to think it's taking more effort then it's worth by now :-) [06:28] Nomikos: you might be right, but I'd like to find out, what is going on. [06:28] If I want to add a kernel parameter I do it on the hilighted line here, correct? http://pastebin.com/ixF7B0Yw [06:29] bloopletech: yarr..i op in #xkcd-pub. i got quasi-permabanned from #xkcd :( [06:29] i mean im trying to give you everything i can to help you but i need some help man :) [06:29] hi, I want some sound theme for ubuntu 10.04 and how to install im noob [06:29] you offered so I accepted :) [06:30] Just PM me [06:30] @Bloopletech [06:30] jshmoe24: I don't pm [06:30] !seen suihkulokki [06:30] I have no seen command [06:30] ok nvm [06:30] sup peeps! [06:30] jshmoe24: Looks like your computer will work fine, you need to get the nvidia propietry driver and install that, most other things should work [06:30] I've been having this problem lately where my mouse and keyboard stop working and the mouse pointer gets stuck at a point on the screen and the mouse can move it at most a centimeter and it jumps back imediatly this happens once every couple of days and the keyboard seems to only respond with the NUM lock and caps lock lights but i can not revert back to TTY1/2/3 etc. and even if i unplug them (usb wireless) i can not plug in anoter as they still do the sa [06:30] me with the mouse and keyboard [06:30] shifnix: heh :) [06:30] bloopletech: so, does it looks like i may be SOL on OpenGL support? [06:31] I dont have invidea [06:31] on mine [06:31] shifnix: those issues are real strange considering that your card should be fairly well supported - try going to #radeon and asking there [06:31] shifnix: those guys are the experts ;) [06:31] I dont' have nvidea hardware [06:31] bloopletech: thanks [06:32] jshmoe24: ok then you should be fine. Does your computer work at the moment? [06:32] shifnix: np [06:32] no it will not burn and keeps giving pop ups about libc6 dependecy problems [06:33] jshmoe24: ? libc6 problems should be unrelated to driver problems [06:33] this is the driver i need a linux version for --> [06:33] VGA Intel v7 14 10 1227 [06:33] jshmoe24: if you's just reported these issues in the first plkace we would have been able to help a lot faster [06:33] jshmoe24: why do you think you need a driver for that? Is there something wring with your graphics? [06:33] I did tho' [06:34] I have been the whole time [06:34] look in past posts [06:34] jshmoe24: ok I see now [06:34] So maybe we need to fix some libc6 dependency problems first [06:35] then the dvd drive will work too [06:35] ya know [06:35] What is the best method in Ubuntu 10.10 to produce .ai (>= ver9 of Adobe Illustrator)? I'll be creating images/logos with Inkscape but need to deliver .ai files. (Hello Community) [06:35] has anyone seen "The social network"? [06:35] jshmoe24: how did you set this system up? Has this been a problem since you installed buuntu, or did it only start recently? [06:35] only recently [06:35] during bad apt-get command s [06:35] that's kubuntu he's using isnt it? [06:36] jshmoe24: what were you trying to install? [06:37] jshmoe24: you still there? [06:38] cant really remember but it was just updating one day and then now it says libc6 dependency error try apt-get install --f and that just fails [06:38] @bloopletech [06:38] jshmoe24: first one thing [06:39] whats up [06:39] ? [06:39] jshmoe24: if you're directing your messages at someone in particular, can you just do "bloopletech: " [06:39] ping [06:39] ok [06:39] rather than doing it over 2 lines, it'a bit distracting [06:39] jshmoe24: Can you pastie what happens when you try to do that apt-get thing?

Recently installed ubuntu 10.10 and everything was working fine for a couple days now it seems whenever i run more then one app or sometime just firefox it just freezes up and i have to reboot.... there a bug fix or a update im missing? [06:55] hmw: I don't know how I did not find anything on this issue while googling.. it's late, I guess [06:55] hmw: but thanks again for the link :) [06:55] Hi-TechHate, unlike that's it's an update. the updater notifies you if you got any left to install [06:56] I've just installed the scribes editor, but the sliding menu and status bars are really really laggy on my netbook. Any way to change the config and stop them sliding it? [06:57] Hey, I'm trying to diagnose whats going bad on my computer. [06:58] Sometimes when I turn it on no picture or sound will be sent to the monitor [06:58] I just replaced the power supply because I thought that was the problem at first. [06:59] bloopletech: good news - it looks like OpenGL is working, and i was able to enable compositing, and now terminal appears to be artifact-free [06:59] does this issue happen before OS start Bluefever ? [06:59] Yes. [06:59] then it is ubuntu independent :) [06:59] but check cabling if you have not done that yet [06:59] shifnix: wow cool - what fixed it? [06:59] I made sure everything was tight [06:59] bloopletech: i lied, terminal still artifacts with lots of text output :\ [07:00] Well, it did this funny thing. I started it and right when the Ubuntu music plays at startup, the music kept looping at the end, and I couldn't move my mouse. [07:01] Or put any commands [07:01] anyway I've got to go do some work, I'll see you around [07:02] Bluefever, could be a lot of things.

[07:03] see if any heat develops and maybe overheats cpu [07:04] try ram [07:04] diff. ram and or cpu [07:04] :( [07:04] @bloopletech: " [07:04] "@bloopletech: what do ya think? [07:04] Ram can go bad @smerz [07:04] i haven't had it happen to me [07:04] smerz: thanks checked the update manager and its up-to-date i guess i will just keep a eye on what im doing everytime the mouse freezes and it locks-up and see if i can get it worked out then. Forums seem to be filled with the same problem just no solution. [07:05] but yeah i think they can fail too :) [07:05] Hi-TechHate, try live cd. see if it happens in there [07:05] So I guess I'll try to narrow it down. [07:05] I know it isn't the power supply, because I just replaced that. [07:06] My motherboard has an integrated video card, so its either the motherboard, the hard drive, or the CMOS battery. Those are just my guesses. [07:06] Can anyone recommend a really good site to help me edit my xorg.conf with or without using randr? [07:07] I'd prefer to not use randr.

[07:11] peyton_westlake, also what is wrong with: man xorg.conf or do you have a specific question? [07:12] sam-_-: 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] I think 10.04LTS is much more stable than 10.10 ever could be anyone agree? [07:12] peyton_westlake, maybe i'm missing sth. but what has randr to do with xorg.conf? [07:13] external cd-rom drive not being recognized, any ideas please ? [07:13] jshmoe24, i guess it depends on the hardware.

Maybe it was Xrandr that I was thinking of. [07:13] "@bloopletech: " [07:13] Hi 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?

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] minimum of 500 mb of ram will give you a reasonable machine [07:16] sam-_-: Fun, Im having fun on my PC, This is just for someone else who wants to use it for web browseing only. [07:16] syddraf, one that is mounted via sshfs? [07:17] Right now, I have nothing. But ill look into sshfs [07:17] sam-_-: And he only wants ubuntu 10.10 [07:18] 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] Could someone please help me fix my grub? This new grub is very confusing.

[07:19] opensauce, is os_prober in there? [07:20] sam-_- - yes it is 30_osprober [07:20] opensauce, try: sudo update-grub [07:20] i have 4 partitions on a single hard drive, i want to put Ubuntu on the third [07:20] opensauce, is windows listed ? [07:21] when you say listed? [07:21] when I run the update? [07:21] no. [07:21] sneakyimp: the installation process handles that very well don't worry [07:22] DannyButterman: I have already got 2 xp installs [07:22] DannyButterman: the basic tools don't cut it because they don't let me specify this third partition [07:22] sneakyimp: you have two instances of XP on the same hard drive ? [07:22] opensauce, hmm strange [07:22] DannyButterman: I'm trying to use the advanced partitioning tool and have a couple of questions [07:23] DannyButterman: I have a single hard drive with 4 partitions [07:23] sam-_- : 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] sneakyimp: as far as I remember, you have to use the advanced partitionning system indeed [07:23] is 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 yet [07:23] DannyButterman: that seems clear so far [07:24] opensauce, ls -al /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober [07:24] mister_m: nautilus [07:24] opensauce, could you print the output? [07:24] this was the site that I found about (X)randr https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/#Adding%20undetected%20resolutions [07:24] dannybutterman: I see the target partition clearly displayed -- it's /deb/sdb6 (unknown) [07:24] does anyone know if perfect ubuntu from catagory5 tv will run on a 64 bit multicore machine? [07:24] mister_m: click on places, then try home folder [07:24] http://pastebin.com/YSCy7J8H [07:24] There is the file contents [07:25] peyton_westlake, yes but it will not be persistent. [07:25] sneakyimp: 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] peyton_westlake, so you only have a resolution problem? [07:25] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6933 2010-10-06 14:23 /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober [07:26] opensauce, looks fine [07:26] Blue1, 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 atm [07:26] sneakyimp: just specify / as mountpoint for /dev/sdb6 [07:26] mister_m: not tried wmi [07:26] Blue1, I'll have to set the desktop not to show though [07:26] DannyButterman: 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 loader [07:26] sam-_- : Yes, a resolution problem. And now it seems that my graphics drivers aren't being recognized. [07:26] and 1.5x your ram as swap space [07:27] Blue1, I like it so far - it is different. I am waaaay used to the gnome environment though [07:27] Blue1, so it is a big change going to a tiled WM [07:27] :( [07:27] opensauce, post the output of "sudo /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" [07:27] DannyButterman: 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 ;) [07:28] mister_m: if you feel brave try this recipe: http://pkill-9.com/?p=66 [07:28] peyton_westlake, which graphicscard? [07:28] DannyButterman: Also, don't know what to select when it says "Device for boot loader installation" [07:28] Sam - is that a command? it does nothing? [07:28] sneakyimp: 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/sda [07:28] sam-_- : nvidia 7600gs [07:28] opensauce, i expected that [07:28] ok [07:29] hello Nomikos [07:29] !nvidia | peyton_westlake [07:29] peyton_westlake: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:29] Blue1, I think these tiled WMs are meant for super duper powerusers mostly [07:29] sneakyimp: device is probably /dev/sda though I dont know how what your disks are [07:29] I think I just killed my GDM desktop. After logging in i get black window/taskbar and clock. Pls HELP [07:29] opensauce, if it would work it would give you something back for the windows part. [07:29] DannyButterman: 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 waste [07:30] sam-_- : ok [07:30] DannyButterman: should I maybe boot up in Win XP one last time and re-arrange my partitions? [07:30] opensauce, i don't know why grub doesn't detect it anymore. [07:30] DannyButterman: the partition-editing tools in this install don't seem particuarly flexible [07:30] al_nz1: can you get to a terminal? ctrl+alt+f1 [07:30] opensauce, you can add it manually though. [07:30] would you mind helping me adding it? [07:30] Blue1: yes [07:31] al_nz1: do you know how to restart the gdm? [07:31] opensauce, sure [07:31] no [07:31] sneakyimp: 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 60 [07:31] Thank you! [07:32] DannyButterman: 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 moment [07:32] al_nz1: login and then do the following [07:32] opensauce, it should look sth. like this: http://pastebin.com/06uuNgLH [07:32] al_nz1: sudo service gdm restart [07:32] sneakyimp: you should be able to delete, and create partitions at least [07:32] DannyButterman: I know i can do this partitioning in XP with the disk management tool. kind of surprised it's not offered here [07:32] sneakyimp: that's how my folks machine is set up. [07:33] Blue1: ok done and it takes me back to the gui login window [07:33] showing me as logged in [07:33] opensauce, you need to set root and uuid according to your computer [07:33] al_nz1: fine just login again. [07:33] but when I click on me login the screen goes black before taking me back to the login window again [07:33] its a loop! [07:33] sneakyimp: about the disk order, is the bios configured to boot on sda or sdb ? [07:33] sam-_- : Thanks! :-) [07:34] also whats different is the login window, not the background just the login window, is like windows classic grey, not full colored like it normally is [07:34] al_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] sam - can I just replace mine with this? [07:34] DannyButterman: I don't know ....let me check [07:34] Blue1: tyring to get mythtv to install :-( [07:34] opensauce, what do you want to replace? [07:35] al_nz1: oh i can't help you there [07:35] add then? [07:35] I am not sure where in the file? [07:35] Blue1: what about del the file, is it , x11org.conf? [07:35] opensauce, not so fast. we need to set the correct values first. [07:36] opensauce, sudo parted -l post the output to pastebin [07:36] DannyButterman: OK this is confusing. The BIOs has the first drive as ch1 M. : ST3250410AS [07:36] sure one sec [07:36] al_nz1: i wouldn't delete it, i'd rename it -- something like: sudo mv x11org.conf x11org.conf.bkup [07:36] oopsa [07:36] DannyButterman: and the second one says ch 0 M. : ST3250410AS [07:37] DannyButterman: the drives are identical so i'm not sure which becomes sda and which becomes sdb [07:37] http://pastebin.com/ZRnrkv1M [07:37] sneakyimp: 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] al_nz1: that should work [07:37] opensauce, also we need the output of: blkid [07:37] Blue1: where is x11org kept? [07:37] sneakyimp: it's the ch order that matters. So you're booting on ch 1 (sdb) [07:37] al_nz1: this way you can see what's in the file, rather then just nuking it. [07:37] DannyButterman: i do know that sdb has the WinXP partitions on it...no idea where the MBR might be [07:38] sneakyimp: put it on /dev/sdb [07:38] OK so CH0 always gets mapped to sda [07:38] - /etc/ ? [07:38] DannyButterman: and CH1 always gets sdb? === Look is now known as _____xd [07:38] sneakyimp: yes it does [07:38] DannyButterman: OK so To get Ubuntu working on here, I'd need a large partition formatted ext4 with mount point / [07:39] anyone had any luck with the bttv driver on a hauppage card? [07:39] http://pastebin.com/paY38khM [07:39] DannyButterman: and i would need a a small 3GB swap partition (mounted as /swap i guess) [07:39] Blue1: any idea where that file is? [07:39] I use 20gb for the / and 2 for swap and the rest for /home [07:39] how would I configure DNS servers manually for a VPN? [07:39] openVPN is messing up the route table [07:40] sneakyimp: yes [07:40] DannyButterman: and ther are many options for the boot loader location...like various partitions, entire hard drives as options, and one option that lists windows [07:40] with my scenario if you bugger the / you can reinstall and not format the /home [07:40] DannyButterman: i would like my boot menu to show both of my XP boots and also my ubuntu boot(s) [07:40] DannyButterman: do i want to choose the boot loader option that says "windows" Is that the finicky Windows boot loader? [07:40] anyone know a tool i could use to defrag my hard dive on ubuntu [07:40] al_nz1: curse this new keyboard - its /etc/X11/xorg.conf [07:41] fsck [07:41] sneakyimp: the boot system detects all the OSes and display them for booting don't worry [07:41] BlueFish_: and why would you need to do that? [07:41] BlueFish_ use fsck if you feel the need [07:41] BlueFish_ this isnt your fathers ntfs [07:41] DannyButterman: 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] BlueFish_: hint ext4 doesn't fragment like ntfs of fat does [07:42] because i know that linux dont defrag like windows but whated to see if there was such a tool [07:42] opensauce, now put this http://pastebin.com/nPb37EWw [07:42] put your boot loader in the xp drive and it will handle everything for you [07:42] opensauce, into /etc/grub.d/40_custom [07:43] sneakyimp: to avoid troubles, just put your bootloader on /dev/sdb. not /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdb6, but /dev/sdb [07:43] BlueFish_: I am not aware of any defraggers that work reliably on ext4, but I could be wrong. [07:43] one sec [07:43] there is no need to defrag [07:43] it just doesnt splatter things all over the drive [07:44] opensauce, 40_custom should then look like this http://pastebin.com/yRs7GwBH [07:44] sam-_- = ok thanks - done... now reboot and see? [07:44] hello [07:44] opensauce, no [07:44] question: with grub2 how do you get that nifty menu that grub used to have? [07:44] ok [07:44] opensauce, sudo update-grub, first [07:44] update grub [07:44] aha! [07:44] fsck how do i run that without damaging the file system? [07:45] DannyButterman: thanks...booted into xp now and changing partitions [07:45] ok I ran that [07:45] now reboot? [07:45] well renameing xorg.conf didnt help! [07:45] opensauce, was it listed this time? [07:45] nope [07:45] BlueFish_: you are aware that fsck MUST be run an an unmounted hard drive, right? [07:45] sam-_- = the same output as before [07:45] BlueFish_: i'd advise i [07:45] opensauce, could you pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg [07:45] In a livecd [07:46] kk [07:46] thanks [07:46] sneakyimp: good luck ;) that shouldn't be that hard [07:46] Blue1: tail var/log/messages? === wyggler2_ is now known as wyggler2 [07:46] al_nz1: i have never seen mythtv so sorry I can't help [07:47] ok http://pastebin.com/w52ZuJbb [07:47] Blue1: I am not sure thats what killed it [07:47] al_nz1: that would be a could place to start, or you can simply do dmesg [07:47] i have a question: i have two users on my system:, mike and joe. i added both to the users group. i want one to be able to see files from the other's home directory. how do i do that? [07:47] Anyone for my scanner problem ? [07:47] change file permissions [07:47] Epson 1670 ? [07:47] opensauce, wrong file :-) [07:47] opensauce, could you pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg [07:48] sorry [07:48] i am old school i stil use octal permission [07:48] abhilash: i tried for mike, to do chown -R mike:users /home/mike, same for joe, then did sudo chmod -R ug+rwx /home/mike & same for /home/joe [07:48] just won't work [07:48] http://pastebin.com/XhjxCa2w [07:48] constantin_mike: let me try to remember how I solved mine [07:48] DannyButterman http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=26911 [07:49] when minimizing a window, it would go to the bottom panel as an icon... it no longer does that, how did i break that, and how do i fix it? [07:49] opensauce, looks good. now reboot and pray ;-) [07:49] opensauce ur name made me lol [07:49] constantin_mike: make a new group, add both users to the group then make the group the groupowner of the folders both want access to [07:49] hey ActionParsnip [07:49] ActionParsnip: how do i make the group, the groupowner of the folders? [07:50] because i do have users, and mike & joe added to users [07:50] constantin_mike: you are using xsane? [07:50] cryptodira: rightclick panel -> add item. Add the window list item [07:50] thanks [07:50] let me try quick .... brbr (hopefully) [07:50] Hello, I´m pretty new to Linux so i was wondering if anybody could tell me where to go to get a solid understanding? Please and thank you! [07:50] DannyButterman: thanks for the tips, DB. Are you *sure* i'll see all 3 of my OSes show up if i put boot loader on sdb? installing those xp things was a chore...hundreds of security updates :( [07:51] what would i use xsane for? i don't have a scanner [07:51] speeqs, help.ubuntu.com [07:51] speeqs: what is your question? [07:51] constantin_mike chmod -g mike /path/to/dir [07:51] constantin_mike: my bad I thought you had scanner issues [07:51] anyone know why the mouse doesn't work with fpss like sauerbraten when I am running a multimonitor setup using xinerama? the mouse just gets stuck in a corner or edge [07:51] constantin_mike: chown -R :groupname /path/to/folder [07:51] ActionParsnip: that did the trick! Thank YOU. [07:52] Thanks you! [07:52] Why are the file permissions here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Create%20Bootable%20USB%20Manually [07:52] sneakyimp: unless you accidentally wipe out your windows partitions, you can always modify your bootloader options. Don't worry if it doesn't work at first. [07:52] and Blue i dont really have specific question, im just trying to get a firm understanding of Linux operating systems [07:53] or you can go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod [07:53] speeqs whatcha wanna do? [07:53] constantin_mike: without the colon, it sets the owner. [07:53] different from these http://pastebin.com/LWdcLKVX [07:53] speeqs, how about browsing wikipedia? :) [07:53] speeqs: a good book, might be linux in a nutshell let me see if I can find some good ref sites [07:53] When it's a FAT32 filesystem? [07:54] !seen free psyBNC :( [07:54] I have no seen command [07:54] ActionParsnip: i know that, but i think the last time i tried it, i got an error. now it works, it's still processing [07:54] Filthy_MacNasty: do as in? [07:54] I learned from how to insertdesirehere in google === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [07:55] im running ./configure to begin installing program x with dependencies of program y; configure fails because program y is version 0.0 and it needs to be at least version 1.0 (or whatever) i installed program y 1.0 but configure gives same error. anyone? [07:55] Filthy_MacNasty: Thank for the link, but as I've said above, I already followed those steps. Scanimage -L tells me it sees the scanner. So far it's doesn't scan (or outputs a picture for that matter) [07:55] speeqs what would you like linux to do for you is what I mean [07:55] DannyButterman: but waaaah! i'm scared. Are you sure I shouldn't select "/dev/sdb1 Windows NT/2000/XP (loader)" ?? [07:55] ok, still won't work. now i'm trying sudo chmod -R ug+rwx /home/joe /home/mike, but i get an error about permission denied in /home/mike/.gvfs, cannot access [07:55] put it on /dev/sdb [07:55] constantin_mike: if there is a lot of data, it will. You can use chmod to change the group access [07:56] as I said [07:56] how do i view my current hardware in ubuntu [07:56] give joe the group ownership then chmod -g mike /path/to/dir [07:56] I need some help with TFTP and PXE booting... [07:56] i dont know what model my graphics card is exactly [07:57] moses: hardware for? [07:57] nvidia driver [07:57] moses, lspci , lsusb, lshw... [07:57] moses: hang a sec [07:57] Filthy_MacNasty: im not really sure :P as i said im new. One this i had in mind basicly is to be able to use commands fluently and have a good understanding of the directory stucture, honestly im not really sure what else linux is capable of [07:57] I have followed those instructions to the letter and have been consistently unable to boot from my USB installer. The permissions might not be a clue, but either way this has gotten old. [07:57] sneakyimp: Fell free to select this option, but I think its meaning is 'do you want to access the windows bootloader after the ubuntu bootloader' [07:57] constantin_mike: that's because you aren't running the command right. You should NOT do all of the home too, it may cause issues [07:57] anyone know why the mouse doesn't work with fpss like sauerbraten when I am running a multimonitor setup using xinerama? the mouse just gets stuck in a corner or edge [07:57] speeqs grab me in chat [07:58] moses: this should tell you what you need i think: grep -i glx /var/log/Xorg.0.log [07:58] I have DHCP running successfully, and tested TFTP locally. I created the /tftpboot directory, I have pxelinux.0 and other files in there. When I boot the client computer it pulls an address from DHCP okay but then I get a "TFTP open timeout" error [07:58] I'm stumped [07:58] DannyButterman: ok boss. i'm going to choose instead "/dev/sdb ATA ST3250410AS (250.1 GB)" [07:58] Blue1, huh? [07:59] constantin_mike: read the first command i gave then look at what you ran. They are massively different [07:59] DannyButterman: again, the hope is that I'll see all 3 of my OSes (and possibly a fourth to come) from a single boot menu [07:59] moses: i thought you need information on your nividia driver. maybe I mis-understood? [07:59] i did [07:59] but i need to install the driver [07:59] moses: ahh you didn't say that. [07:59] im sorry [07:59] moses: Then go to Nvidia's site. [07:59] moses: They have a universal driver :) [07:59] !nvidia [07:59] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:00] moses: System/Administration/Additional Drivers [08:00] i am facing a problem with my webcam, it is very slow with Cheese or the google chat on the web and i tried other cams also specially after the last kernel update? how can i fix it ? [08:00] ok ultra noob question [08:00] Or use a distro specific solution and learn nothing :/ Whatever floats your boat. [08:00] how do i pop open a console? === nick is now known as Guest90195 [08:01] mfaroukg: backport? [08:01] moses: alt+f2 [08:01] moses, ctrl+alt+t might work [08:01] Blue1: what is that? [08:01] sneakyimp: what you're hoping for is standard bootloader behaviour [08:01] constantin_mike: /home/joe isn't a group, its a folder [08:02] DannyButterman: I'll have to take your word for it. Very new to multi-boot installations [08:02] mfaroukg: i had issues with my lan card, and backporting fixed it -- let me see if I can dig up the orig article [08:02] should i get used to this or can i get a full on console window? [08:02] DannyButterman: tried using grub once before and got lost === richard is now known as Guest93998 [08:02] constantin_mike: if you only use parts of advice you will break your OS [08:02] Blue1: good, because i have also a problem with other hardware too [08:02] mfaroukg: give this a glance: http://pkill-9.com/?p=152 [08:03] moses: That IS a full on console. What's your question? [08:04] ActionParsnip: 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/mike [08:04] mfaroukg: what version of linux are you running? [08:04] mfaroukg: cat /etc/issue [08:04] i love this OS [08:04] wow, the Ubuntu installer looks really sharp. Very handsome design. [08:04] omg! [08:04] ActionParsnip: but after that, it still didn't work [08:04] moses: you mean something that looks like ctrl alt f1?? [08:05] sneakyimp: I had bad experiences before, but it was eons ago. Now linux and ubuntu are much more reliables. [08:05] i.e login console? [08:05] Blue1: Ubuntu 10.10 \n \l [08:05] constantin_mike: That's probabsy because users is the wrong group. [08:05] yes [08:05] how do i get out of this? [08:05] ctrl alt f7 [08:05] mfaroukg: one last question, 32 bit or 64? [08:05] normally [08:05] DannyButterman: I'll be happy as long as I don't have to go looking for a lost boot record [08:05] ty [08:05] constantin_mike: i advise you only run it on user data folders like Music or Pictures [08:05] Blue1: 32 bit [08:06] ActionParsnip: ok, will try [08:06] constantin_mike: And users is the wrong group. [08:06] mfaroukg: it's worth trying the backports. if it doesn't work, then there are directions on how to remove the backports [08:06] Does anyone have an opinion on 64-bit ubuntu? [08:06] sneakyimp: i use it [08:06] quinnw: i did add mike & joe into users myself [08:06] I was very much hoping to use it as a development platform for a php extension [08:06] constantin_mike: Mk [08:06] Blue1: so you are running 64-bit? any issues? [08:06] quinnw: what is Mk ? [08:07] Blue1: just want to run a basic LAMP server [08:07] sneakyimp: Ubuntu k64 is fine. [08:07] sneakyimp: feel the Force. Don't let yourself succumb to fear ;) [08:07] sneakyimp: only issue is 64 bit firefox crashes my system (worked fine in 10.04 but not 10.10) not a flash issue. I have an amd system - ymmv [08:07] constantin_mike: mx="M-kay" or Ok. Haha. [08:07] DannyButterman: i d-d-d-d-d-d-unno man. Somebody better be ready to call the Waaaaaaahmbulance if this doesn't work === HunterBukowski is now known as Danny78 [08:08] quinnw: lol ... [08:08] constantin_mike: they are already a member of users when made as far as i know [08:08] Blue1: hm. ever try chrome? [08:08] sneakyimp: but it runs all my servers and desktop envir too. chrome and opera work fine. just no firefox joy [08:08] sneakyimp: 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 fine [08:09] Is my question too noob-ish or does no one know? [08:09] sneakyimp: you don't lose anything unless you format your ms partition. Be a man, go ahead ! ;) [08:09] Blue1: that'll work. I want to write some PHP extensions (AMFEXT) [08:09] ActionParsnip: ok, i tried for only one folder (i.e. Desktop) and it works [08:09] DannyButterman: it's running. I crossed myself a few times first. [08:09] sacarlson: i run the 32 bit version of lightscribe w/o problems however force the archetecture can break a system [08:10] sacarlson: i'll be doing most work for AMFEXT in 32-bit environment [08:10] sneakyimp: i don't have php on my system, but I've heard ofno problems with that. [08:10] constantin_mike: good times :-) [08:10] sacarlson: i just want to test the results on a 64-bit machine [08:10] trying 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 it [08:10] ActionParsnip: (& others): thanks [08:10] sneakyimp: work a try -- [08:10] usb-creator.exe coming off the livecd and running in windows xp [08:10] any ideas? [08:10] sneakyimp: PHP will run the same way on either Arch won't it? [08:11] I tried unetbootn and it kinda worked except for the actuall booting part [08:11] it just gets stuck loading some USB stuff [08:11] quinnw: it should, but honestly, I don't know [08:11] sneakyimp: Ah. [08:11] any suggestions? [08:11] Valen: How long did you wait? [08:11] 20 + minutes so far [08:11] i downloaded the .run file from nvidia how do install this via console? [08:11] sneakyimp: 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 virtualbox [08:12] yeah that's a faily time consuming procedure I know when I did mine, it took like 40 minutes [08:12] turned silent and quiet off to see it actually boot but it pauses [08:12] moses: Type ./nvidia [08:12] 40 minutes to boot? [08:12] sneakyimp: what sacarlson said [08:12] quinnw: 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 architectures [08:12] nothing? [08:12] Valen: 40 minutes to put the iso onto the usb flash drive [08:12] the little flashy light on the usb doohickey isnt flashing either [08:12] moses: Where nvidia is what the file you downloaded is called [08:12] thats not the problem [08:13] usb-creator won't "open" the iso [08:13] sacarlson: thanks for the tip...any more info on 'virtualbox' ? [08:13] i pick it and it ignores it [08:13] does nothing [08:13] sneakyimp: bump the video to at least 64m === Look is now known as Guest93247 [08:14] unetbootin at least loads the iso [08:14] but the usb key wont boot [08:14] I hate the usb-creator. [08:14] well wont complete booting anyway [08:14] Valen: i will have to play with usb creater someday in win xp (in a virtual box) === Guest93247 is now known as _____xD [08:14] !virtualbox | sneakyimp [08:14] normally I would run it from linux, where usually it fails to actually write to the usb key [08:14] sneakyimp: virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available from the package 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [08:14] okay my buttocks are sore, and I am brain dead. (zombie mode) -- going to say good night folks [08:15] If it was multi-platform or even available for other Linux systems it would actually be worth the time spent writing it. [08:15] if it worked ok in ubuntu it would be worth it [08:15] does anyone remember or know how to stack the similar objects in taskbar? i have it in my old ubuntu 9.04 but now i have 10.04 and need it? [08:16] it seems to suck in a cross platform manner [08:16] Blue1: what is that backport? it doesn't get installed [08:16] Valen: It works in Ubuntu. [08:16] most of the time when I try and use it in ubuntu it fails to actually write to the stick [08:17] or gets halfway through then fails [08:17] DannyButterman: great success! [08:17] DannyButterman: thanks for your guidance. [08:17] Valen: I'm having an issue with making a bootable USB installer. That doesn't mean the steps I'm following "don't work" [08:17] sneakyimp: I think there are still problems in some cases with adobe flash in 64bit, I also had problems with skype, canon printer drivers, watir, jackd and a few other things but with a php server developer I don't see that as a problem for you. [08:18] sneakyimp: you're welcome ;) [08:18] sacarlson: Flash x64 works fine for me now. I don't know which update fixed my problems though. [08:18] sacarlson: Thanks for the info. I would be tempted to just sit at the ubuntu box and do everything there (i love nano text editing) so it's good to have the tips [08:20] hello out there im new to di can anybody give some pointers on this [08:21] sgt, di? [08:21] dis* [08:21] disgruntled? disinterested? [08:21] quinnw,I didn't say whatever you were doing "don't work" I said that usb-creator fails 80% of the time for me under ubuntu [08:21] and thus far 100% of the time under windows [08:22] i have a bluetooth mouse and since i've started to use it the bluetooth dongle dies on me every few seconds/minutes taking the mouse down on the way. here's the last few lines of dmesg: http://bushman.pastebin.com/uQh5nN1q Anyone? [08:22] i am facing a problem with my webcam, it is very slow with Cheese or the google chat on the web and i tried other cams also specially after the last kernel update? how can i fix it ? [08:24] where are nvidia driver installation logs stored? [08:24] i forgot xD [08:24] I wish they distributed usb images along with the regular iso's [08:24] hi all hey need a little help partioning my drive === richard is now known as Guest47327 [08:24] this whole mangle the iso into the usb disk thing sucks === Guest47327 is now known as richardr [08:25] Valen you could do that for the rest of us [08:25] Cairo: you want to see when they were installed? maybe look in apt-get or dpkg logs? [08:25] not when [08:25] i had an installation error and i want to find the log [08:25] i just forgot where it said it was [08:26] hiexpo what kind of help? [08:26] right now my drive has an ext 4 partion and swap and 4 gig unused space how do i put that unused space back in [08:26] Cairo: Should be in /var/log/ somewhere, but I don't remember the name, maybe install.log ? [08:26] Cairo, /var/log/dpkg.log [08:27] hiexpo, boot live cd [08:27] ok [08:27] hiexpo, use gparted and resize the partition [08:27] delete swap [08:27] create new swap at end of space [08:27] ok [08:27] damit [08:27] expand existing partition to fill the space [08:27] (all with gparted) [08:27] i created my swap partition a the begining [08:27] then edit fstab to reflect new uuid [08:27] where is the extra space then? [08:28] ok so i have ubuntu installed, i created an account name for myself, but i cannot do 'su' to become root [08:28] so has anybody had a "really good, just worked" experience with usb-creator? [08:28] sudo su [08:29] i tryed to resize the swap was 5 gigs and shrank it to 1 and now it says unused space [08:29] Valen, usually works for me [08:29] is there a program could be used to dial numbers? [08:29] well im getting this error [08:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/555338/ [08:29] !works for me [08:29] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. [08:29] Filthy_MacNasty: THANKS [08:29] hi there, I want to know how to append(not replace) crontab when using crontab file.... [08:29] welcome [08:29] he asked O.O [08:29] im trying to install my driver from tty1 because it doesnt show up in Additional Drivers in ubuntu10.10 [08:30] sneakyimp: or sudo -i [08:30] probably because its included in 10.10 [08:30] DannyButterman: it looks amazing [08:30] Hello [08:30] !hi [08:30] DannyButterman: i'm amazed. [08:31] !hi [08:31] someone made shiny? [08:31] I got a problem with ubuntu 10.10: my /tmp isn't cleaned at boot time [08:31] should be cleared at shutdown actually and hurm [08:32] hiexpo, do you have a swap file or a swap partition? [08:32] sneakyimp: What is so amazing ? Aren't you used to the pure beauty Ubuntu is ? [08:32] I'm guessing partition [08:32] how big is the rest of the drive? [08:32] my bet is file wubi style [08:32] Valen, yes is 1 gig [08:32] how big is the ext4 partition [08:33] Cairo, can we see the nvidia log? [08:33] the /etc/init/mounted-tmp.conf is configured with "start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/tmp" [08:33] yoo anybody can tell me how to install more effects [08:33] Valen, 143 gigs [08:33] if the swap is at the start the only way to grow it is to move the partition to the start of the free space, and that could take *forever* [08:33] i posted it [08:33] Cairo, also did you run it with sudo? [08:33] or did you mean a different log? [08:33] ya i ran it with sudo [08:33] Cairo, are your kernel headers installed? [08:33] clonezilla and unetbootin worked [08:34] just not ubuntu [08:34] i think so [08:34] how do i check? [08:34] * Valen is not feeling the love [08:34] * Cairo loves Valen [08:34] sgt sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager then look under preferences [08:34] guys what is this new dock i keep seeing in ubuntu shots [08:34] Cairo, if your love came in the form of a working USB key with 10.10 on it and was in my pocket right now I'd considder letting you get away with it === ubuntu is now known as Yohko [08:35] oh [08:35] :( [08:35] unrequited love [08:35] http://www.neowin.net/forum/uploads/monthly_01_2011/post-183474-0-11198400-1295188663.png [08:35] the dock in that SS [08:35] though if your a hot chick I'd let you get away with it anyway, your not a "hot chick" by any chance are you? [08:36] say #ubuntu?!?

[08:46] chalcedony, Um...are you asking WHAT to stack, or HOW to stack? [08:47] YankDownUnder, how [08:47] in my 9.04 i had it, but now i have 10.04 and i have a zillion tiny icons and can't see them [08:47] chalcedony, I use Cairo-dock, so it's part of that - and all my task management is done via Cairo-dock => WITH the MacOSX theme (and it's settings) [08:48] i don't know what that is YankDownUnder .. looking [08:48] chalcedony: right-click on task bar, click on preferences, choose to stack [08:48] Irulan, THANKS [08:48] chalcedony, you can check it out at: http://glx-dock.org [08:49] Irulan, i have minimize, maximize, always on top.. i don't see stack ..

[08:54] Zeu5, a whoami will tell you who u are [08:54] how can i use the fax modem to dial a number and talk through the speaker and the mic? [08:55] !ot | mfaroukg1 [08:55] mfaroukg1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [08:55] osmosis_paul,look at the mysql grant options [08:55] sam-_-, that is not the point. my command shell starts with a $ sign instead of my username. please advise [08:55] you need a voice modem for that mfaroukg1 [08:55] Zeu5, then adjust your .bashrc [08:55] Valen, sorry mate where is that [08:55] sam-_- how do i do that? [08:56] Zeu5, try this: PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ ' [08:56] coldfront: i can use the fax modem through dialer.exe in the windows xp [08:57] you might be able to use/see it in dialer.exe but you wont be able to talk without it support voice [08:58] coldfront: how can i dial a number with the fax modem ? [08:59] Zeu5, echo "PS1='$\{debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)\}\u@\h:\w\$ '" >> .bashrc [08:59] Zeu5, to make it permanent [08:59] hmm [08:59] sam-_-, thanks. i will try. first i am going to restart the server [08:59] a modem can still dial but without the support of voice protocol in the modem it wont work [09:00] you can use it to send faxes but if it doesnt support the voice protocol on the hardware then you cant talk with it [09:00] Zeu5, works only for bash but i do think you use that [09:01] I'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? [09:02] gnea: try nm-applet in the terminal [09:02] dan88: perhaps you didn't read what I said... please read it again. [09:02] coldfront: good, so let me show you output from the scanModem [09:02] Valen, ok i deleted all partions so what do i do first [09:02] dan88: I had to remove networkmanager-gtk as well [09:03] it was conflicting with wicd, and I prefer wicd because it normally does a better job at connecting and retaining a connection [09:03] Gnea, do it step be step. without wicd. first wpasupplicant then dhclient [09:03] coldfront: http://pastebin.com/H2WKeRDS [09:03] mfaroukg1 http://www.modemsite.com/56k/voice.asp [09:04] sam-_-: okay, it's been awhile since I did it on the commandline. basically, set the ssid with iwconfig, then run dhclient? I'm just trying to connect to an unsecured AP at this point. [09:04] Gnea, ok then this should do it i guess. [09:04] sam-_-: thanks, I'll give it a shot [09:05] chalcedony: http://i.imagefra.me/a4chyq4a [09:05] If dir thedir has ownership fred:vboxuser and permissins 770 then why can user dude not cd into that dir if he is in group vboxusers?

Where should I put their IP? [10:08] wow that was quick [10:09] what's a seedbox? [10:09] Gatonegro, in natilus press ctl + L then enter sth like smb:// [10:09] sam Aahh... Alright. I'll see if that works. [10:09] sam Is there a way to make that automatic? [10:10] I mean -- we have static IPs, and the machines are usually always on.

[10:17] nVee, pipe it through less [10:17] nVee, ifconfig | less === thrash is now known as lexsyn [10:18] squig, database config? [10:19] hi [10:19] when i do pastebinit -i ipsec.log, i get http://pastebin.com/, i dont get pasteid [10:19] sam yes tahts what I want to do, but whats the command for that? [10:20] hello [10:20] Hello :) I've got a very new installation of Ubuntu 10.04.01 amd64 Server Edition (headless) and I've installed on it Firefox with all the needed X libs so that I can do some X forwarding when needed. When I run ssh -X myserver ; the X forwarding is very very very slow which is impossible to work with. The WAN over SSH connection to the server itself is perfect. What could be causing X... [10:20] ...forwarding to be so slow? [10:21] hello, i have a testing pc that runs ubuntu server. i want to create virtual machine on it that will have the same server settings (php, java....) can i do that? basicly what i wan in the end is to have 2 enviroment that are the same (except file system), one for QA and one for DEV. where can i read more about it? [10:21] Hello room, can anybody chat to me about the program "Motion"? I'm having some trouble with it [10:21] squig, i don't know what you mean by database config? [10:21] squig, which software? [10:21] shai__: i've always thought x forwarding is crazy slow [10:21] im having an issue updating m drivers with ubuntu anyone about may be able to assist me? [10:21] sam-_-, the package installs a database at install time, i am trying to reinstall the database [10:21] sam-_-, bacula [10:22] deww: It is plain now working.... I start up firefox and it takes approx. 3-5min to open up and then every click a couple more min to do something (if at all) [10:22] squig, maybe dpkg-reconfigure will help [10:23] shai__, use vnc or rdp or sth. like that. [10:23] sam-_-, yes had to force it [10:23] sam-_-, can you tell me how to clear the configs, or where I can find out? I tried to figure it out on my own, but I don't want to mess up anything else =/ [10:23] tajys, configs for what again? [10:24] !anyone | Taste [10:24] Taste: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:24] !ask | Taste [10:24] Taste: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:24] sam-_-: Do I need to have an X server for that or can I lunch just firefox in VNC without having to install a desktop completely? [10:24] shai__, you will need an xserver. [10:25] well im downloading my nvidia drivers from their site, and im downloading their linux 32bit version (sinc eim on a ubuntu 32 bit) but hwen i downlaod them i can run the file etc etc [10:25] cant* [10:25] sam-_-, I dunno... You said something about clearing configs... because something I did to Java is causing firefox to not respond whenever I try to run something with Java [10:25] !nvidia | Taste [10:25] Taste: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [10:25] hello [10:26] shai__: try -C (compression), i don't think it's gonna be much better tho [10:26] tajys, by that i meant the java cache and the firefox cache and maybe more [10:27] hiexpo: hello are you around still [10:28] deww: I actually ran 'ssh -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc -XC user@myserver' ; and it works much better (not that fast, but better no the less) [10:28] sam-_-, if that's something I'm supposed to do through the Java control panel, it's not coming up =/ [10:29] where is font folder? [10:29] tajys, i don't know where exactly they are. possibilities: .config/ .sun/ .java/ .firefox/ [10:30] root_, /usr/share/fonts/ [10:30] * tajys thinks she might have broken java good, since the control panel won't even run =/ [10:31] thanks sam [10:31] tajys, run it in a console. it will probably tell you sth. [10:31] tajys: adn how woudl you have broken java then [10:32] its-me-again: What? [10:32] tajys: you said you broak java right. how did that brake [10:33] tajys: how did java break [10:33] its-me-again: I think something I did when I was trying to fix the sound did something that negatively impacted the rest of java... [10:34] sam-_-, Entering the IP worked just fine -- and I can add them to bookmarks and they stay where they should be. :o) Thanks a lot. [10:34] However, this is something that needs fixing badly, no? [10:34] tajys: java has nothing to do with sound [10:34] Is there a reported bug for this? [10:34] How do I enable scrolling with the mouse wheel in byobu [10:34] Gatonegro, is winbind running on all of your machines? [10:34] refund: what is byobu [10:34] its-me-again: I figure when the sound is only not working on something that uses Java, it does have something to do with it. [10:35] its-me-again, Interface changes to screen or something [10:35] tajys: i dont think so but you maybe right [10:36] refund: i dotn know what byobu is [10:36] but have you made sure the corect mouse type is setup [10:36] its-me-again: Of course, I could be completely mistaken and sound only not working in Java (but working fine everywhere else) could be a problem with flash or something [10:36] tajys: in the menu type mouse [10:37] What? [10:37] tjok look for the mous settins under settings [10:37] to commit a change of a folder to svn is just svn add "folder/file" and then svn commit? [10:38] shoudl be in menu>prefferances [10:38] Because mouse does have to do with the sound not working in Java? [10:38] ^ tajys [10:38] Hello everyone ! [10:38] How does mouse = sound? [10:39] tajys: oops recund has mouse problem [10:39] refund [10:39] I'm on a computer with two graphical cards but the most power hungry (9600M) is the only one detected and therefore activated. Is there a way to force the detection of the second graphical card (9400M) and activate it instead of the other one ? [10:39] refund: in menu>preferances you will find mouse settings [10:40] LunaVorax: what are the 2 cards [10:40] is oen on the motherboard adn the other oen in the screenccard slot [10:41] its-me-again, I'm on a mbp 15" theses are two chips on the motherboard [10:41] Lunar_Lamp: oh then i cant help on that [10:41] Guys i usually connect to \\MCS01 at ip: 10.0.0.100 - I'm trying the Places -> Connect to server, but it keeps telling me it's not monted and such [10:41] I entered the right domain, username and password - but it craps out [10:41] LunaVorax: you can try also posting in the forums [10:42] LunaVorax: i cnt help you sorry [10:42] The "Share" box, i've tried "\\mcs01" and "mcs01" and leaving it blank.

When i tell wicd to use wlan1 instead of wlan0 it tells me it cant find anything. ifconfig shows wlan1 is there too. [10:43] how do i tell the script not to run the next command untill the last one is done? [10:43] Gatonegro, installing it should help [10:43] its-me-again, ok aha i just found the "Places" -> "Network" icon [10:44] I'm trying to setup audio over hdmi in 10.10, but i don't see nvidia HDA with 'aplay -l' or '-L', any idea?

[10:56] I am trying to find the site with the instructions I followed to try to get sound working, and I can't find it >.< === michele is now known as DjDrake [10:57] zlatan: maybe the file has less than 1 disponibility ( no peer has the complete file ) and all of you are stuck with incomplete downloads ... [10:58] erUSUL:can I check somehow that [10:59] zlatan: i do not use transmission myself; dunno where it displays that info [10:59] zlatan: I suggest you wait, you can check that if you go to your torrent's peers tab, also try to locate and manually additional trackers, but if it completes let it seed for a while [10:59] how do i find an iso in ubunto if i dont know where to look? [11:00] the "find" command is very confuseing for me [11:00] try locate iso [11:00] ubufind: click the find icon in nautilus? [11:00] ubufind: why use the command line at all? [11:00] what? [11:01] there is no find command [11:01] or icon [11:01] there is a magnifying glass icon (search) in nautilus [11:01] ???

[12:04] greppy: I have set the user option. It does not work [12:04] it mounts as root. I try to chown it to my user, and I still get a permission denied when I try to touch anything [12:04] \ot{do not trust AES} [12:05] johnlocke: for instance, my cdrom entry on one box: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0 [12:05] johnlocke: is it mounted automatically at boot, in that case, yes, it will be owned by root. [12:05] feanor, ? [12:05] johnlocke, then you need to umask [12:06] /dev/sda1 /media/series/ ext4 user,noauto,exec 0 0 [12:06] hi all! how can i see any unmounted HDisks with command line (not formatted disks...), pls?

As long as I can reach it as a user. badabing badaboom why is this an issue? [12:09] johnlocke, seems to not exist for ext4 [12:10] sam-_-: ofcourse it doesn't. Why on earth did I choose ext4 then!? [12:10] johnlocke, for ext4 you should really just set the permissions the normal way [12:11] johnlocke, via chown and chmod [12:11] I did that. and when I run ls -lah it returns johnlocke root [12:11] but I still can't create files! [12:12] i have a problem with my ubutnuserver, it has mounted the filesystem ro but I didnt do anything to make that happen - can I find out why when etc and how to remedy ? [12:12] johnlocke, well maybe you don't have write permissions? [12:12] johnlocke, it isn't enough to just own the file/dir# [12:13] ok. So in fstab. How do I get write permission to fucking everyone? I don't care if the NSA can create files on my hdd. As long as it just works [12:13] I want to run mount -a as my normal user and have full controll of the hdd [12:13] johnlocke, does it just hold data? [12:13] yes [12:14] no os or swap etc [12:15] johnlocke, then mount the device and do this: chmod 666 -R [12:16] johnlocke, may need sudo. just be sure it's the right path to the fs otherwise it will mess up everything [12:17] ok, now I can't even cd in to that dir [12:17] omg filesystem permissions DO NOT affect mount points [12:17] feanor, doesn't matter.

[12:21] greppy, it could be that he didn't have write permission even then [12:22] sam-_-: because if he owns it all, he would have been able to make changes, unless it he didn't have write perms, but setting it to 777 makes it so that any user on the system can create, delete or change files on the volume, including from the webserver if there is a broken or compromised script. [12:23] greppy, you realize you just contradicted yourself? [12:23] no [12:23] hello! [12:24] im having trouble with smb-samba :( [12:24] this is a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 [12:24] after the install [12:24] i right clicked on my public folder and selected share this folder [12:24] sam-_-: even if he didn't have write permissions, he would be able to change them without using sudo. try it, touch somefile, chmod 000 somefile try to mess with it, then chmod 600 somefile. [12:24] so it installed the samba services. [12:24] 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"? [12:25] after it installed the samba services when i try to connect to a windows 7 host on the lan from ubuntu it says failed to retrieve list [12:25] how do i install 32bit apps on 64 bit 10.10? [12:25] greppy, yes. but he would still need chmod which you said he didn't [12:25] ubuntu -> windows 7 on ubuntu (via samba and both firewalls are permitting 136-139 and 445 [12:25] greppy, look. it doesn't matter. we both meant the same just worded it differently... [12:25] sam-_-: he shouldn't unless the perms were set intentionally restrictive. [12:26] greppy, y. but you couldn't know [12:26] Does anyone know how to remap the Ctrl+n command in nautilus to create a new file, instead of open a new window? [12:27] hi all, i'm currently installing a brand new system. i first install ubuntu as my main system, and now i'm partitionning. i plan to install Windows XP or 7 on my PC later. how should i do the partitionning ? (i've 1TB hd space and 2GB RAM) ? [12:27] c4pt, setup user name and workgroup [12:27] feanor, can you link me? [12:28] Liooba, what are you going to use each OS for? [12:28] c4pt, it's in samba.conf [12:28] ok [12:29] sorry folks, again, how can i see any unmounted HDisks with command line (not formatted disks), pls? [12:30] linux for programming (i'm astudent) and internet surf, and maybe other stuff, and windows mainly for gaming and use of only windows software (such as some specific calculation programs of my school). I also want to be abe to listen to my music and watch videos on both, but these will be on an external usb hd. [12:31] has anyone else experienced rather slow ubuntu installs lately? [12:31] this new 10.10 has been somewhat retarded [12:32] Liooba: it's a bit easier to install windows first so that grub will become the first boot loader [12:32] compared to older versions 1010 is a lot slower [12:32] same as next to different distros [12:32] feanor, ? [12:32] feanor, where in smb.conf ? [12:32] feanor, the workgroup is already correct. [12:32] feanor, for valid users its = %S [12:33] sacarlson: mmm ok , but now i'm stuck with a ubuntu install CD, i've got a ISO win XP install CD, but no cd writer now, until i install my system :/ [12:33] c4pt, you need setup a user name of some user on windows 7 machine you're connecting to [12:33] feanor, can you give me an example ? [12:33] feanor, so i can translate the example into my smb.conf please? === qdii_ is now known as qdii [12:34] feanor, there are alot of options in the smb.conf [12:34] isn't it possible to configure the grub on dual boot later ? i'm not afraid of command lines and stuff like that, i'm glad to learn new things on computers ;) [12:35] c4pt, i have no samba installedm but look for group of "user", "pass" and "workgroup" options [12:36] Liooba: 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 Brasero [12:37] ok, i'll stop install and reboot with Live, thx for your advises moreliini and sacarlson [12:37] Liooba: 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++ programing [12:39] sacarlson: ok, thanks. btw, do recommend using ext4 for the linux partition(s), instead of ext3 ? [12:39] Hi all. What is the advantages of using sudo rather than su root then running a command? [12:39] Am I in the right place to get help with installing ubuntu with Universal USB Installer?

[12:43] Dr_Willis: Oddly, there is no number between the brackets [12:43] ok! thx for your help [12:44] how can I make it so metacity is run at every gnome boot instead of the default window manager ? [12:48] does the version x64 run in a I7 processor ? [12:48] in other words, i need the version x64 for my I7 processor ? [12:49] wald0: yes that will work with i7 [12:49] (connection died) I'm getting this error from a java application. http://pastebin.com/VCMfH5AL Can someone tell me what’s wrong and how to fix it? [12:49] wald0: x64 means 64-bit, so an i7 will be fine with it [12:49] wald0: if you have a 64bit cpu, like an i7, you can use the amd64 kernel [12:49] hello. when I try to upgrade, it says 67 packages available but all are held back. what is wrong? [12:49] wald0: but you don't need the x64 with an i7, unless you have more than 3 gigs of RAM [12:50] dnivra: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:50] hi [12:50] apart of the ram, it is better to use the x64 version than the 32 one ? [12:50] thanks deww ! [12:50] i heard that there's not optimization/speed difference [12:52] wald0: some stuff like printer drivers might be easier to find [12:54] im downloading the "natty desktop amd64.iso", it is a LIVE system, right ? because i don't want to install it on my disk now [12:55] wald0: i think yes [12:55] wald0: Should be, desktop cd's are live systems === Alcapun is now known as noobuntu [12:56] is there any fan control utility for Ubuntu?

[13:24] DND: is it possible in line of principle [13:24] DND, nothing wrong about that [13:24] DND: unless they bring their own usb stick... [13:25] there can be just a problem in the devices enumeration [13:25] you should use the uuid to idendify the disks because de /dev/sd* enumeration may change [13:26] maybe if the swap and / is on an internal HDD then there will be no problem with device numbering [13:26] when I try to run fsck on an HFS+ formatted partition, it tells me it's journaled and stops [13:26] DND: it might be easier just to lock the computer by bios password or encyption or other methods [13:26] <[bean]> FxIII: if you run apt-get install program it should list dependencies [13:26] so its somewhat a false sense of security?

[13:48] cd /home/user/blabla - ok / cd /home/user - permission denied [13:48] yes,i'd like to have more resolution then current 1280x800 [13:49] I'm a newbie in ubuntu and not have install any of video driver, may be this is a reason? [13:50] anyone know of a stopwatch program for linux???? [13:50] linuxguy101, stopwatch [13:50] I made chmod 777 /home/user/blabla but he cannot go there :((( [13:50] linuxguy101, "time read" ... press enter for stop :) [13:51] Is there any advantage of installing trac using the Bitnami installer? [13:51] bazhang: sorry i dont see that program [13:51] linuxguy101, thought you were on mandriva [13:51] !info stopwatch | linuxguy101 [13:51] linuxguy101: stopwatch (source: stopwatch): A virtual stopwatch and timer. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5-2 (maverick), package size 12 kB, installed size 120 kB [13:51] bazhang: i am, but there seems to be no linux stop watch programs [13:52] linuxguy101, #mandriva this is for Ubuntu support [13:52] how to set permission to concrete dir that anyone can access it but cannot go up? [13:52] bazhang: we are all in this linux thing together [13:52] linuxguy101, thats ##linux [13:52] linux guy come on [13:52] ubuntu guys come on:) [13:53] farciarz84: what do you mean by "go up"? [13:53] is it possible to install virtual printer to study printer networking? [13:53] linuxguy101, and mandriva uses rpm, so no use asking in an Ubuntu channel [13:53] hey if you guys have a stopwatch program, then i can find out what the name is and maybe install it on mandriva [13:53] jrib: access top dir e.g cd /home/user/blabla --> ok but cd /home/user --> permission denied [13:53] linuxguy101, I just did, "stopwatch" === dela is now known as Lampy55 [13:54] bazhang: really, that actually works on ubuntu? [13:54] researcher1: interesting notion. perhaps easier just to run a packer sniffer like tcpdump, selecting for traffic intended for the printer. [13:54] linuxguy101, yes. [13:54] bazhang: ok cool, i will get it on mandriva [13:54] farciarz84: not possible [13:54] poggle, 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 order [13:55] farciarz84: what do you want to accomplish though? [13:55] jrib: :-( what can I do then? I want to user cannot read anything from /home/user/ but can do anything in /home/user/blabla [13:56] farciarz84: do not give the user access to the files in /home/user then. And only give him execute permissions on /home/user [13:56] farciarz84: create a directory somewhere else, e.g. under /home or /var and chmod that to 777 [13:56] so 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 dir [13:56] is there a way to reset the configuration for the upper bar when in ubuntu-netbook remix? [13:57] is there some .configurationDir under the home directory? [13:57] farciarz84: you cannot prevent him from "cd parent_directory", but he won't be able to do anything in it :) [13:57] I'm looking for some support on a dvd device issue [13:58] lebear, ask an actual question [13:58] how do I set my time zone in Maverick? [13:58] I added a location, but that didn't change the time zone of my main clock [13:58] hi all - is there a ubuntu package for usa-19h keyspan usb to serial adapater drivers [13:59] the 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] farciarz84: 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 permission [13:59] now, how do I proceed to diagnose what the issue might be? [14:00] lebear: probably a hardware issue, I've had many dvd drives fail. You could try a different OS to see if it makes a difference [14:00] if I put a dics in, it makes some noise for a while,, and the disk utility tells me "no media present" [14:00] lebear: are there errors in /var/log/messages? [14:00] is it all discs or just dvds? [14:01] serialized, tried a cd-rw aswell, didnt work [14:01] my dell 6000 could only read dvds not cds [14:01] for some reason [14:01] lebear: my dvd reader died in a strange way. For a month or two it refused to read CDs at all, just DVDs. then it stopped reading those too [14:01] like someone has said your drive is probably broken [14:01] serialized: my dell d630 too!

[14:02] that it's just dvds and not cds ... [14:02] i know [14:02] gave it to my sister in the end so not all bad [14:03] jrib: thx [14:03] :) [14:04] mbeierl, annoying though. it's a PATA interface and I can't seem to find any of those reasonably priced as replacements.. :( [14:05] !netsplit [14:05] lebear: what I would do ... although not as good, is get a cheap usb standalone one. you can find them for around $30CAD here... === cafe is now known as Guest84783 [14:06] DVD/cd reading - uses differnt lasers i thought. [14:06] mbeierl, yeah I'll do that. wouldnt mind watching dvds on the train.. but that's the only option. I live in Sweden and there are NO drives (PATA) available. so I'd have to order internationally, which would cost over $80 usd.. def not worth it [14:07] Dr_Willis: I thought it was just a different spectrum frequency, but same laser unit... [14:07] mbeierl: may be same diode 'thing' but i thought it was 2 differnt types/colors..

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [15:12] hey 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? [15:13] 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 partition [15:13] Sorry, system reserved isnt empty... my bad [15:14] 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 install [15:14] so im thinking i could change the filesystem to play nice with both, if possible [15:14] panoukla_: they both work with NTFS [15:14] If i format or delete sda1/2 will I lose my grub? [15:14] nobody? [15:14] panoukla_: I believe you can also get ext2 working on windows - i did a while back [15:14] panoukla_, samba [15:14] see, I want to copy some of my old ubuntu files to a new 100 gig ext4 [15:14] Flynsarmy, the problem im having is writing to the NTFS partition [15:15] panoukla_: it shoudl work out of the box [15:15] Julia_32: are u replacing windows system completely? [15:15] Flynsarmy: Modify /etc/aliases and then run sudo newaliases [15:15] F0sterO4, what is your question? [15:15] sorry 23 :P [15:15] Flynsarmy: See man aliases for the file format. [15:15] So 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 information [15:15] skorv [15:16] ah, my phone now appears as a digital music player after that last update of the media player info files [15:16] Julia_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] Pici: 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] I'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_23: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR try thsi [15:16] Julia_23: they are wiser than me... listen to them not to me hihi! [15:16] Flynsarmy: Do you receive mail from domain.com on that server? [15:16] Julia_23: You are willing to lose everything on your NTFS drive? [15:16] my 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 boot [15:16] chkdsk [15:16] Pici: the server receives mail for domain.com but not domain2.com [15:17] Julia_23: ah, so you want to re-install windows. [15:17] maybe place windows on 20 gig [15:17] partition [15:17] Flynsarmy: Then just put: foo: bar@domain2.com [15:17] Pici: thanks, you've been extremely helpful :) [15:17] and create a partition for grub [15:17] to avoid conflictiong os. im kind of new at this so [15:17] been researching for hours! [15:18] Julia_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] ok [15:18] Julia_23: I'll see if I can dig up a link on how to repair grub... just a sec. [15:18] does it really matter if i install ubuntu first or not? if i create a small partition for bootloading [15:19] im sure i can find a grub repair link myself, but if you can find a good one then cool, 10.10 maverick [15:19] Julia_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_23: instlling ubuntu lst will be better [15:19] hello, how can I record my entire desktop as a screencast with audio from my mic? Thanks!

[15:19] aroman: recordmydesktop [15:19] popey: doens't that only do ogv? [15:19] see 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 repair [15:19] Flynsarmy: I haven't done it myself, but the manpage for aliases suggests thats the proper syntax. [15:19] aroman: it does, but you can convert to other formats easily [15:20] aroman: i convert to h264, avi.. [15:20] popey: using what software?

[15:54] or sudo -s [15:54] AnthLee, webresourc sudo -i NOT sudo su [15:54] webresourc: because with sudo you type your own password while with su, it expects the root one [15:55] and why not sudo su?

[16:18] sorry [16:19] its just that I need an os for my old pc with 20k Hdd and 50mb of ram [16:19] meant that [16:19] Garzooka: Tiny Core Linux? :) [16:19] anything that lets me revert any changes made [16:19] sacarlson, thanks it seems ok now.... [16:19] Finally got around to installing Linux on my Laptop... [16:19] Was 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. [16:20] joel135: use dd, pipe to scp, perhaps? [16:20] A_B_: cool it might even work in a different slot [16:20] This 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] I have know idea but I need another os other than dos [16:20] FreeDOS? :P [16:20] crap. scp doesn't take - as meaning stdin. [16:20] azert: i would ask in #asterisk [16:20] sacarlson, yes.. this might also explain the endless problems i've been having with the dvb card :) [16:21] Garzooka, 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] how do you do that? [16:21] are you good on * ? IdleOne [16:21] joel135: dd if=hdd_device | ssh sshserver cat > backup.file [16:21] azert: I don't know it at all sorry [16:22] ok thanks [16:22] oops, that's not quite right either. [16:22] its just silly, its been acting up since the old hdd stopped spinning up (just beeped) [16:22] I don't get whats wrong [16:22] ayecee: have you tried specifying "/dev/stdin" for the argument to scp? [16:22] Garzooka: sounds like a hardware problem, see ##hardware. [16:22] joel135: put the "cat > backup.file" in quotes [16:23] sipior: good idea [16:23] revising my question: Trying to go through a http proxy at work from my linux but so that I can ftp to perl.org to dowload packages. I got ncftp installed, not sure how to configure the firewall file. [16:23] im trying to use fdisk for the first time to set up a new hard drive.. http://dpaste.com/329615/ # what am i doing wrong? [16:23] sipior: nope, scp complains "not a regular file" [16:23] ayecee: works here. [16:23] ok. I will try that. thank you! === RAMNUS is now known as RaMnuS [16:24] sipior: dd if=/dev/whatever | scp /dev/stdin fileserver:remotefile ? [16:24] m1chael, once you reboot you should have no partitions - you deleted them all. [16:25] Anyone know if you can use Calcurse with calDAV? [16:25] sipior: if that works (and it doesn't for me), might as well scp the hard drive device directly [16:25] i want to create 1 full linux partition now === tux is now known as Tavrinx [16:26] I'd actually recommend NOT doing that, m1chael [16:26] I'd suggest you make at least two partitions; One mounted at /, and the other mounted at /home [16:26] m1chael, 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] wait... do I have to use the partition dev or could I use the hd dev? [16:27] hi, 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] joel135: hd dev would be better, that way you can restore the partition table and boot sector at the same time. [16:27] ayecee: 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] m1chael, 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] joel135: but you could do either. [16:27] great [16:28] My 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] joel135: sipior's got a point, partimage would be better, but what I've described will still work. === gigi is now known as Guest64245 [16:29] ok === Guest64245 is now known as giggino [16:29] 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] I wouldn't recommend partimage for a damaged filesystem, though. [16:29] i need some help on OOffice templet making, basically i want to store/save a Service form so that i can fillup the info when i open it i am using OO3 with Lucid [16:29] I'm not using swap on my netbook right now, but that's because it's running off a USB hard disk since the internal hard disk has failed [16:30] do I need to be root? [16:30] joel135: yes, definitely. [16:30] joel135: the partition on the hard drive should not be mounted either. this is something you'd normally do from a livecd. [16:30] hi, i need to change my wifi-adapter setting (PSP XLink mode = true), but i don't know where to find the config-file. i really got stuck here... [16:30] I am [16:31] how can i install a windows program? [16:31] !wine | michaelxq [16:31] michaelxq: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu === oleg is now known as Guest72987 [16:31] michaelxq, via wine check the appdb and join #winehq [16:31] induz_: I think #openoffice.org could offer better assistance. Not many people on that channel though. Perhaps the OOo forums? [16:32] potatotrip: my guess is you can make that change in your wifi adapter with the iwconfig command [16:32] bazhang, thanks [16:32] Dr_Willis_, thank you [16:32] hi i've got autologin setup but whenever i kill X, the window manager restarts but goes to the gdm login screen i want it to just autologin how can i do this? [16:33] thx, sacarlson, i'll try that [16:33] organise: I'm kind of curious to know myself. [16:33] hello i wastrying to load ubuntu 10.10 after xp and it got hung in the install and i can't boot into xp ...just get the xp [16:33] organise: I think that's to prevent GDM from going into an infinite loop... [16:34] organize: I think you can add a timed login in addition to the auto-login [16:34] hello [16:34] organize: That way when X dies, it will wait a few seconds, but it will auto-log back in [16:34] dafadf [16:34] opo kie cah??? [16:34] :o [16:35] undecim: I haven't seen it autologin on restart, only on first start. maybe that's changed recently. [16:35] michaelxq: you should also have a look at Playonlinux, it can handle tricky windows apps that require extra installation in order to function properly [16:35] !id | kill [16:35] It seems to be working. There shouldn't be any text output, right? [16:35] kill: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [16:35] joel135: right === Guest51194 is now known as RaNdY [16:35] timed logins doesn't solve the problem === RaNdY is now known as Guest3023 [16:36] balthus, thank you [16:36] joel135: the reverse operation is similar, but even easier: ssh fileserver "cat backup.file" > hdd_device [16:36] balthus, i'll try it :) [16:36] organize: GImme a minute and I'll see if there is an option in the GDM conf file. [16:36] ok [16:37] joel135: ayecee: you shouldn't use cat for diskimages, you should use dd and tune the blocksize to the HDD buffer size for maximum efficiency [16:38] potatotrip: also lood at iwpriv command [16:38] ne2k: I don't think it would make a dramatic difference in this case. the network is likely the bottleneck. [16:38] it is. 2.8MiB/s [16:38] organise: If that can't be done, you could always start X directly as your desired user with inittab, and forget about GDM completely [16:39] undecim hmm might try that how would i do that is it just /etc/init.d/X start ? [16:39] ne2k: besides, read-ahead and async writes will take care of most of the difference even if the network were faster. === jimisrvrox_ is now known as jimisrvrox [16:40] organise: First you have to setup ~/.xinitrc to start gnome (or whatever DE you're using) then put the line in inittab to run it [16:40] ayecee: dd is the correct tool [16:40] ne2k: dd is a correct tool [16:42] organise: Are you using Gnome? (i.e. the default Ubuntu desktop) === xifle is now known as Elfix [16:42] any hacking stuff for debian?? [16:42] coder2: "Hacking stuff".... Either you should be in a programming channel, or you watch too many movies. [16:42] quit [16:43] undecim: suggest me some?

[16:51] hi [16:52] is there specific channel [16:52] dury, i think Pitivi or another video editor would be better suited to your needs then avidemux (which i use, but not for transitions and music as you are requesting) [16:52] is there any way to do it through the konsole [16:52] ? [16:52] I have a quite strange problem concerning ndiswrapper and my WLAN usb stick. I got the usb stick running but after reboot it refuses to do so.

I really don't want to repeat the whole install process even if this is fairly new, 3 days old. [17:19] jayz33: why do you want /tmp to be a partition? [17:19] 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' option [17:19] this is what i got : http://paste.ubuntu.com/555472/ sacarlson [17:20] Hello, 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 TERMINAL [17:20] Dr: nice. Will a grub partition avoid the problem of windows copying over my grub loader? [17:20] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L1m9pTHW [17:20] if I want to say, reinstall windows 7 [17:21] Julia_23: windows overwrites the MBR bootloader secton of the HD.. so no it wont fix that. [17:21] Julia_23: You would need to install Windows first to avoid it over-writing grub. [17:22] Julia_23: what everyone else said ^^ but if you want/need to install windows afterwards, you can use a ubuntu livecd to fix grub [17:22] I even delete the nouveau drivers - since they dont support 3d - and see if it would fix, but no [17:22] ayecee, here's the first one of today: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555475/ [17:23] hi there. I have a dvd which has read errors. Are there any tools for this case? [17:23] understood, other than for ISO's and what not, is there any need or bonus for using GRUB partition if you only intend to use two OS, AKA windows 7 / ubuntu? [17:23] ayecee, happened when I was copying sdg3 to sda4 with DD [17:23] saulus: ddrescue might help [17:23] off topic but I'm thinking of installing gentoo - does anyone know where would be the best irc room to go to to discuss? [17:23] I've created an iptables script to setup a server with some default settings.. I want 22 open, 80, and 443, as well as allowing oracle connections from a specific ip.. although wheremyip is showing the correct ip, my ip specific rule doesn't seem to be working.. can anyone point me in the right direction?: http://pastebin.com/mXNQC1kw [17:24] ayecee, sorry... I was using ddrescue not dd [17:24] resuming continued running into the same issues [17:25] tehbaut: using ddrescue for data recovery from a bad drive? [17:26] opiumJ: i believe there is a #gentoo on freenode. [17:26] tehbaut: is it always on the same sectors? [17:26] ayecee, eh... it's got some bad sectors, but I didn't think it was dead yet [17:26] ty [17:26] thanks ayecee. didnt know ddrescue is able to copy files. [17:26] eree: that looks good to me, so did you enable network in the ubuntu host? what mode did you select? [17:26] A 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) lo [17:27] ayecee, I would venture to say it usually happens around the same spots [17:27] saulus: ddrescue doesn't copy files, but it may be able to recover enough of the filesystem to recover the files within. [17:27] tehbaut: it seems likely that the drive is taking to long to respond when it's rereading the questionable sectors. [17:27] so linux resets the drive, and rediscovers it. [17:27] ayecee, is there any way to increase the timeout? [17:28] so the install is ALL FINISHED AYAY!!!! BUT! when the system is meant to reboot there is nothing but a blinking box [17:28] the system doesnt reboot [17:28] it just sits there, unresponsibe [17:28] blinking [17:28] aree: what does ifconfig return in your guest boxes? [17:28] what's wronggg here [17:28] tehbaut: not that i'm aware of. It seems like this wouldn't be such a problem except that the drive is getting automounted after reset. [17:28] Heeeeeelp! 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 else [17:28] ayecee: I am running ddrescue /my/problem/file /my/secure/file. [17:28] I'm sorry if I am too slow for you here, but I want to be 100% certain its not worth installing a GRUB partition [17:28] still got terminal via C-A-F1 [17:28] tehbaut: I'm not sure how to disable automounting, but it shouldn't be too difficult. That's probably the better approach. [17:29] ayecee, well that and having to sit here and continually baby sit the drive until the process is complete... which is terrible slow as it is [17:29] Does anyone knows how to fix an Nvidia issue? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/L1m9pTHW [17:29] tehbaut: welcome to data recovery :) [17:29] if there was a way ... ha [17:29] tehbaut: just came in - what you trying to do? [17:29] if there was a way to auto-restart ddrescue after each drive reset... that's be helpful [17:29] al_nz1, drive keeps resetting during a ddrescue operation [17:29] tehbaut: does ddrescue abort? [17:30] ayecee, yes [17:30] tehbaut: hmmm, ddrescue shoudl not abort [17:30] i am looking for a simple gui ftp server for unbuntu ... any suggestions ? [17:30] I have found ddrescue rock solid normally [17:30] it quits with error: ddrescue: input file disappeared: No such file or directory [17:30] tehbaut: how is the drive connected? what kind of interface? [17:30] USB [17:30] hmm. [17:30] tehbaut: ALWAYS better to connect directly to controller [17:30] USB enclosure, to be exact [17:31] really? [17:31] tehbaut: Yes [17:31] SATA or PATA? [17:31] anyone have any idea at all about installing ubuntu on a macbook? [17:32] sata [17:32] sugoruyo: "macbook" refers to a rather large swath of machines at this point. which one are you interested in? [17:32] tehbaut: 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] far faster too [17:32] ok, I'll try the direct connection then :) [17:32] shoutpc: I guess nautilus works as an ftp gui Places>Connect to server> select ftp mode [17:32] vmware-server does not seem to like my kernel headers even after applying the patch listed on ubuntu forums, is there some trick im missing?

[18:23] fission6: And then I can have a look [18:24] which bashrc [18:24] depends... probably /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/bashrc. [18:24] fission6: Or /etc/profile, or ~/.bashrc, or /.bash_profile.... [18:25] fission6: Just look at each of those for one that starts screen [18:25] right ok ill review thank you undecim [18:26] hi... i have a network problem. i can ping ip addresses on my network but i cannot reach the internet. http://pastebin.com/CXmaBa9E this is my interfaces file. What am i doing wrong? [18:26] undecim: none of them show screen [18:26] even did a grep on everything in ~ [18:27] Ok, I have just looked at the HDD and tried to mount it using Disk uyility, and its still saying "Permission Denied". I really need to get some files from this drive, anyone got any clues why its not working? [18:27] fission6: What is the output of "grep /etc/passwd $USER"? [18:27] dury, :) [18:27] niklasfi: add: nameserver 8.8.8.8 to /etc/resolv [18:27] Oops [18:27] fission6: Or even "echo $SHELL" [18:28] its bin/bash [18:28] niklasfi: What is on Ip address 192.168.2.1? [18:28] btw this is sshing from a mac so the screen binding is ctrl+] d === Henno is now known as D77 [18:29] undecim that is my router/adsl modem [18:29] niklasfi: add it to /etc/resolv.conf === astra05|afk is now known as astra05 [18:29] fission6: see if you can find what is starting screen with "pstree | less" [18:30] niklasfi: does the web then work? [18:30] niklasfi: Follow ActionParsnip's advice with /etc/resolv [18:30] hi, if i use phpldapadmin on the ldap server itself i cannot login. if i use phpldapadmin from a remote machine logging in works... do i have to config phpldapadmin on the server, i didnt conf anything on remote machine. except domain for sure. [18:30] ActionParsnip: changed /etc/resolv ... but the problem is not that dns does not work. even pinging the actual ip is not working [18:31] nothing shows up for that command undecim [18:31] hi all, I have a problem: I use a program for my schooling called FirstClass, and I'm having a problem, I can save attachments and then open them, but when I attempt to just open them, it appears all the program does is save the file to my tmp folder for firstclass and then sits there, it doesnt open the file with OOo like it should... help? [18:31] fission6: Guess there is no pstree on this system then :/ [18:31] niklasfi: bah [18:31] Hello, is there a software to learn english in Ubuntu ? [18:31] please [18:32] DdOo: theres commercial java software, but i know them only for german -> english. [18:32] well this is odd [18:32] ajwill, sounds like the program has a bug, can you open other files of any type with ooo? [18:32] fission6: Did you exit the screen with "exit 1" yet? [18:32] no [18:32] what does that do [18:32] ezra-s: yeah, ooo is working perfectly fine, I can open files save edit etc [18:32] DdOo: http://www.sprachenlernen24.de/ [18:32] buggyer, I'm french, but what's the software ? [18:33] Ddoo: there are educational games in the repos. Depends on the level [18:33] fission6: Exits with an error code. If you're lucky, that will drop you to the shell [18:33] fission6: unless the server is configured to go straight to screen [18:33] undecim: nope just dropped the session window [18:33] ajwill, I'd say the program you use has a bug and there is nothing wrong with your system by the sound of what you mention... [18:33] fission6: It may be an SSH configuration [18:33] ActionParsnip, I need vocabulary :) and past grammar [18:34] that is likely [18:34] fission6: Can you view /etc/ssh/sshd_config? [18:34] how can i check that [18:34] I try to check the "checkbox" next to my caldav calendar in evolution and it just flashes for a milisecond. When I try to add an appointment and use the dropdown to select the caldav calendar, it says "Unable to open the calendar". Any help? [18:34] ezra-s: okay, the thing is I've never had this specific problem before, and I even tried totally uninstalling the program and reinstalling it... still got nothing [18:34] niklasfi: Are you able to get internet access with other machines on the same network? [18:35] buggyer, thanks, but yes, it's for german only :( === frankbro_ is now known as frankbro [18:35] ActionParsnip, which educational software please ? [18:35] does flash video streaming perform worse under ubuntu than under windows? it seems choppy in a brand new ubuntu desktop install. any tips? [18:35] i dont see anything in for screen in ssh config [18:36] undecim: i am currently on an ubuntu machine in that network however doing "cat /etc/networking/interfaces" just gives the loopback adapter... there must be something magical going on [18:36] niklasfi: If it's a default desktop install, then that is all handle by network-manager. [18:36] Ddoo: not specifically sure, try searching software-centre [18:36] undecim: just an hour ago i had debian working on that machine with networking === Guest47510 is now known as RaNdY [18:36] undecim: well this new one is an arm board... no gui... [18:37] hmm... [18:37] DdOo: http://freshmeat.net/projects/lingoteach/ === RaNdY is now known as Guest28291 [18:37] can I get a pastebin of "service --status-all"? [18:38] may be i should ask in ssh undecim [18:38] niklasfi: Actually, now that I ask for the pastebin, I realize that's an unreasonable request, lol [18:38] fission6: go for it [18:38] buggyer, thanks, I will test it [18:38] thanks for you rhelp [18:39] hi [18:39] Am I interupting a conversation? [18:39] undecim: http://pastebin.com/QyuhZTyf [18:39] i have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras to get flash plugin for firefox working. but my video is choppy. 2.5 ghz, 8 mb onboard video. any advice on how to improve? [18:39] niklasfi: could install wicd if there is an arm build, it has a curses gui for non X systems [18:39] niklasfi: Have you tried "sudo service networking restart"? [18:40] hi, anyone, curious. is there an offline monopoly like game for ubuntu? [18:40] undecim: no but i tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ;) [18:40] fluitfries: better video card. 8mb is low. I suggest you use minitube [18:41] inashdeen: gtkatlantic perhaps? [18:41] ActionParsnip: i will try to fit a video card into this box, but the case is so slim... i will look at minitube, thanks [18:41] niklasfi: Same difference, I suppose :P... What interfaces do you see with "ifconfig -a"? [18:41] inashdeen: http://kapitalist.sourceforge.net/ [18:41] inashdeen: try atlantik [18:41] its online. anyone, cant get anyone playing on it :-( [18:41] I enter as root to configure Nvidia-settings, but it tells me that i am not using an Nvidia Driver, How do I know what driver is in use? and I want to switch to an Nvidia one [18:42] drt33838: kapitalist its a tar.gz. not so good with intalling it though [18:42] buggyer: its online. anyone, cant get anyone playing on it :-( [18:43] undecim: is there any way to determine wether i need to use usb1? on debian it was usb1 [18:43] NooBoontoo: try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig ,then reboot [18:43] Hey there. I have a problem with a External HDD. It mounts fine on this compiuter, but it won't mount on my PC, it says that it lacks the permissions to install them. This computer is running 10.10, and the one it wont mount on is 10.04. Anyone got any solutions? [18:43] niklasfi: Try it and see then. [18:43] linux without networking is such a pain... i can't even install vim and only have vi [18:44] niklasfi: lol [18:44] hi [18:44] Owner: Hello [18:44] niklasfi: you can use the install cd as an offline repo [18:45] btw, anyone knows any windows version of antivirus which run smoothly on wine in windows [18:45] sorry, wine i mean [18:45] inashdeen: Sorry... Any anti-virus software worth its hard-drive space would be doing operations too low-level for wine handle [18:46] there's an avs that runs natively, I don't see why you would use it though [18:46] I think clamAV maybe? [18:46] inashdeen: There is ClamAV you can use on Ubuntu though. [18:46] inashdeen: why bother, there are native antivirus solutions in the repos [18:46] undecim: really? owh,thats bad. but how all the portable runs in windows? [18:46] undecim: and i don't have ssh which means that i am stuck with this serial port where the keyboard is all messed up, beacause i have a german keyboard. install cd is not so easy on a device that is that small that a standard sd-card is too big for it... :D anyway if i set everything to usb1 i get: * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Ignoring unknown interface usb0=usb0. [18:47] actionParsnip: clamav doesnt seem to work right for me. i dont know, it just look deadf on my system [18:47] niklasfi: What interfaces do you see when you run "ifconfig -a"? [18:48] undecim: usb0, usb1 both set to 192.168.2.222 but usb1 has RX packets: 41... that sounds better [18:48] niklasfi: usb1 sounds a lot better... Are you able to ping after setting the interface to usb1? [18:48] inashdeen: if you install clamtk you will get a gui you can scan with. Avg also has a linux port === rider is now known as Guest24825 [18:48] no [18:49] undecim: i mean: yes! ... but no dns [18:49] hello [18:49] niklasfi: Can you ping 8.8.8.8? [18:49] undecim: yes [18:50] niklasfi: Make sure "nameserver 8.8.8.8" is in your resolv [18:50] niklasfi: (That's Google's public DNS, btw) [18:50] niklasfi: Or maybe change it to your router's IP [18:50] inashdeen: theres debs available too [18:50] niklasfi: Or better yet, add both [18:50] anyone use aptana 2 and git? === sandy is now known as Guest74759 [18:50] niklasfi: echo huh... :-) [18:50] inashdeen: u wanna play w/ me? [18:51] actionparsnip: that is what i just thought [18:51] hi! [18:51] What command should you use to check the number of files and disk space used and each user’s defined quotas? [18:52] ActionParsnip: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/chkzwujF [18:52] ActionParsnip: Can you see a problem there? [18:52] undecim: hey! i have a ping! [18:52] how I can know where is the cd-rom dev? in System > Administration > Disk utility, it appears as /dev/sr0 [18:52] <_sh> I am having problems configuring sound. System > Preferences > Sound > Hardware shows up empty by /proc/asound/{card,devices} shows expected output - http://paste.ubuntu.com/555514/ [18:52] but I can't mount it [18:53] niklasfi: Cool... I have to go in a minute :P [18:53] undecim: now tell me (... after i installed ssh and vim) why my router's nameserver won't do [18:53] niklasfi: If your router has a built-in DNS server, it would do fine. [18:53] <_sh> How do I reconfigure alsa ? [18:53] niklasfi: Or you could add your ISPs servers. [18:53] sidd_mak: du checks disk usage [18:53] sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom > umount: /dev/sr0: unknown device [18:54] niklasfi: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are publicly available DNS servers though, so that's what most people use when giving instructions [18:54] niklasfi: Anyways, I have to get going [18:55] undecim: thank you! [18:55] drt33838 : i does n't shows for every user [18:56] anyways i got the ans. it is repquota -a [18:57] sidd_mak: ok [18:57] sidd_mak: or u could try du -sch /home/* [18:58] hi,everyone, not sure if anybody had this problem, but i cant connect to freenode using empathy. and im having this issue since 10.04 [18:59] hello, i need detailed information to a problem caused my a hard drive, anyone here can help? [18:59] drt33838 : thanx man [18:59] !ask Sprechkaese [19:00] Sprechkaese: I can't help, but you will need to provide more details such as what kind of Hard drive problem. [19:00] inashdeen: what happens when you try? Is it a known bug? [19:00] Sprechkaese: du kannst auch den chanell #ubuntu-de benutzen. dort kannst du deine Fragen auf deutsch stellen === lresende_ is now known as lresende [19:01] I have a harddrive which seems to have a software problem. when i plug it in (via USB) is is listet at /dev/sdb1 (seen via "mount") but when I try to rescue data with ddrescue it can not be found [19:01] also e2fsck can not find it [19:01] ActionParsip: not sure, but i had been on freenode through the browser since 10.04. it is like, i registered on empathy, blah2, then it says this resource is already connected to the server [19:02] Sprechkaese: what error does ddrescue give you? [19:02] ddrescue: cannot open input file: No such file or directory [19:02] mount gives: /dev/sdb1 on /media/5EDC593FDC59129F type fuseblk (rw) [19:02] dumb question: anyone know if there's a way to tell that date that the OS was installed on? [19:02] Sprechkaese: does "ls /dev/sdb1" return anything? [19:02] Sprechkaese: is it mounted when you usd dd_rescue? [19:03] owh yeah, not to forget the monopoly game + the antivirus.anyone? [19:03] when i plug it in, i can see the drive, for a short time and have no exit to it, afterwards it dissapeares and another one "is mounted", but there is no data on that "new" disc [19:04] Ayecee: ls doesn't show files on raw block devices [19:04] ActionParsnip: I'm asking if the dev node exists :P [19:04] !antivirus [19:04] 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 [19:04] inashdeen: did u see my msg about debs being available for kapitalist [19:04] Sprechkaese: does "ls /dev/sdb1" return anything? [19:04] I have a custom install cd with a preseed file that says "oem-config oem-config/steps multiselect language, timezone, keyboard, user, network, tasks". Is there a way to ssh into a currently running server and emulate what it would do on boot? [19:04] Ayecee: makes sense [19:05] ayecee: yes, it says no such directory [19:05] ayecee: hopped network? :) [19:05] deww: too much idling, need more distraction :) [19:06] i tried to remount the drive, and that worked [19:06] mbeierl: check out the files in /var/log/installer/, the timestamp in the syslog file there may give you a hint [19:06] but still there are no files on the drive [19:06] Sprechkaese: the partition needs to be unmounted to use dd_rescue [19:06] :) [19:06] Sprechkaese: okay, so mount is giving wrong information. What has probably happened is that the device reset itself, but mount didn't pick up on it. [19:06] although i see that 164GB are used space via right click [19:06] Sprechkaese: unmount it, remove it, reinsert it, maybe the files will show up. [19:06] Sprechkaese and ayecee: maybe something like "ls /dev/sd*" and see what is returned? (please use pastebin) [19:06] trism: thanks [19:07] /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 /dev/sda6 /dev/sda7 /dev/sdc /dev/sdc1 [19:07] Sprechkaese: Replaced any occurance of sdb1 with sdc1 [19:07] no, sdc1 is my other hard drive [19:07] Sprechkaese: Though why do you wish to try dd_rescue? Did you mess up the partition by accident? [19:08] friend brought it to me saying it does not work on windows anymore [19:08] he may be right [19:09] Sprechkaese: Eeep... Assumng the data is present..and just a bad partition 'testdisk' might help. [19:09] Sprechkaese: is it possible to hook up the drive directly, rather than through usb? [19:09] tried that, cant find it either [19:09] its a SATA, hooked op via a sata/usb converter [19:09] converter works, tried it on another drive [19:10] hi all I'm having a little problem, chmod -r doesnt seem to be working... am I using it wrong? I want to change the permissions of a folder and all contents, shouldnt I just be able to do: chmod a+rw -r folder ?? [19:10] Sprechkaese: could you hook it up directly via SATA? usb convertors don't handle failing drives very well. [19:10] Sprechkaese: It's strange that it dissapears from /dev.. maybe he can look at the messages.log and look to see if there is a USB disconnect? [19:10] with sudo of course [19:10] Sprechkaese: if the data is needed, unmount all the drives partitions and use foremost to attempt a data recover on the raw drive [19:10] tried foremost too :D [19:10] hi [19:10] but i have to give foremost a device position, which i do not have :/ [19:10] usb converters often get dazed and confused by errors [19:11] ajwill: try chmod -r ugo+rw filename (this gives everyone read-write acess to filename) [19:11] how much trouble would it be to use a i386 server cd to install and later add all the software for a movie system (freevo) ? [19:11] Ajwill: for recursive chmod, its -R not -r [19:11] ActionParsnip: I thought -R is for chown. [19:12] ActionParsnip: Never mind, you were right. [19:12] I just installed lamp and I can't get my default site to work here's my config file http://pastie.org/1474568 [19:12] There is some sound plug-in that is used to match the correct Sound Equalizer settings, and is named "Match EQ plug-in". I am listening to house music now, and I knew about the plug-in thru google. the music now does give its correct identity. Well, is there a Linux equivalent plugin for any of the known Linux media players? [19:13] metalfan___: shouldn't be bad [19:13] hi, not really doing anything illegal, just to learn,is there a good gui for wep hacking [19:13] Dcite: the r is capitalized for most if not all afaik ;-) [19:13] milamber, thx [19:13] ActionParsnip, rm uses -r [19:14] metalfan: true true [19:14] metalfan___: actually -R works too :P [19:14] drt33838, ah. didnt know that [19:14] ZenMasta: does it listen on port 80 after starting it? [19:14] milamber, whats the big difference between a server/desktop cd anyway? [19:15] Ok, 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 one [19:15] Dcite: where is that messages.log u mentioned before? [19:15] Sprechkaese: /var/log/messages.log [19:15] inashdeen_: i'd look into wireshark maybe. There are tonnes of guides for wep attacking [19:15] schnuffle I dont get any erors when I reload apache and if you notice in the config I linked it, it mentions port 80 [19:15] metalfan___: the default install. server makes it easy to install a lamp/other server type packages. no desktop. [19:15] Sprechkaese: Err just /var/log/messages no .log [19:15] Dcite: empty file... [19:16] k [19:16] quick question: how do I see my external IP Adress? (All I can find is how to see my LAN IP adress) [19:16] schnuffle: also, ports.conf has same ip/port and Listen 80 [19:16] ActionParsnip: wiresharh? how can i get it? air wep seems to fuzzy for me [19:16] Sir_Ragnarok: whatismyip.com [19:16] Sir_Ragnarok: If behind NAT, sites like ipchicken or whatismyip tell you your IP. === marcusant is now known as noobln [19:16] Sir_Ragnarok: ask ur router or http://www.whatismyip.com/ === noobln is now known as samsungepic [19:16] milamber, but isnt lamp/other server type just another .apt packet? [19:17] Dcite: no such file... [19:17] milamber, drt33838 not my own IP. The one of my server. I need the bash command [19:17] Sir_Ragnarok: If you have the modem connected directly.. try connection information or ifconfig [19:17] schnuffle: actually my ports.conf only shows *:80 could that be the problem? [19:17] Sprechkaese: How about dmesg? [19:17] I have this linux server, the only problems is that I don't have a clue how to work with it === samsungepic is now known as samsung [19:17] 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 user [19:17] metalfan___: correct. the desktop and server releases both use the same repositories. you can get a desktop on top of the server with sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [19:17] Hi. Weird thing: I use the keyboard layout switcher to switch between a UK and a DE layout. Everything works fine, except for the key right of the left shift. It always types \ and |. Any ideas? [19:18] inashdeen_: you'll find guides with no effort. Also try aircrack-ng [19:18] milamber, thx [19:18] okay so the problem from before still remains, I have a program called firstclass, and its supposed to save attachments in a folder called fcc.temp and delete them when it exits when you dont select to actually save the files, I tried changing user permissions for the folders and that did nothing... help? [19:18] ZenMasta: sudo netstat -tulpen shows you the ports [19:18] Dcite: scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access WDC WD40 00YR-01PLB0 6A01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 CCS [19:18] <- this is where the drive is mounted the first time i think [19:18] using setxkbmap makes it type the right characters, but then the switcher stops working... [19:19] Dcite: then i get many error -71 [19:19] NAT?? [19:19] Sprechkaese: I can't answer those question, as I don't know where to start at the moment (and I'm somewhat pre-occupied) [19:20] inashdeen_: clamtk will run cleaner and smoother and uses thd same virus defs. Why are you so determined to use wine for virus scanning? [19:20] Sir_Ragnarok: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-526176.html [19:20] sometimes i need to restart my computer after sleeping to connect to certain wireless networks, some i don't. how can i fix that/ [19:20] is there a way graphically to encrypt a folder in gnome? [19:21] Hi. I'm looking for specific how-to to change the resolution setting on a hard drive, while booting into that system from a 10.04 Live CD. The problem is that the monitor in question has a max of 800X600. I can not see a screen when booting from the hard drive but can see a screen when booting from the Live CD [19:22] satellite 1400? [19:22] notebook [19:22] cdubya: perhaps some gpg frontend [19:22] Kipmacy: make a script to remove the driver module, then reload it. You can then tell the OS to run the.script on wakeup and it will work [19:22] milamber: thanks, more complicated then I expected but apparently this is what I was looking for. Also thanks to the otherpeople who tryed to helpt :) sidd_mak Dcite [19:22] guampa, I'm reading about seahorse? [19:22] ActionParsnip: clamtk got several issues with updates and scanning viruses. clamwin is no better in database, but it handles updates , and kind of windows file slightly better than clamtk. i want to find a better options since clamav database is not so good either. [19:23] Sir_Ragnarok: no problem. good luck. come back w/ any other issues :) [19:23] inashdeen_: there is avast [19:23] cdubya: seahorse is a key manager, it doesn't encrypt things on its own [19:23] guampa, ok [19:24] inashdeen_: there is a clamav ppa with newer engine and newer definitions [19:24] could anyone help me revert back to firefox 2 ? [19:24] avast, avira, avg, one of those; the V confuses me, and it also has a live cd linux based [19:24] I've tried a few links but nothing is working [19:24] firefox still is telling me that it is 3.6.13 [19:24] hello, when entering the ~ sign, i need to press space bar before it appears, where can i disable this, and make it appear immediately? [19:24] erebel55: http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php [19:24] xangua: tried the avast version for linux. the big prob is, the engine fails afters sometimes. tried avg, i dont actually understand what happen, it just go dumb. avira. to techy, with the dazuko thing. [19:25] ActionParsnip: still not satisfied with clamtk. u see, it is very weird, u run clamtk, ur freshclam gone, u run freshclam, it just goes weird [19:25] inashdeen : antivirus linux [19:25] ?? [19:25] what's a decent media player that can do upnp (using mediatomb as server)? [19:25] Hi. Can I edit CONCURRENCY in /etc/init.d/rc from default value "none" to "shell" for faster boot? [19:26] Wolfsherz: in which app? Hundreds of apps take keyboard input [19:26] schnuffle: http://pastie.org/1474644 [19:26] hi [19:26] sidd_mak: having an antivirus on linux is not an obligatory, but a responsibility if u are sending files to native windows user, + i am having windows 7 and occasionally i do run windows 7 when commercial doesnt support us. ;-) [19:26] nze: check into vlc [19:27] ActionParsnip: actually everywhere, console, gnome, xchat...

Can i get some help on this please?! thanks [20:20] ra21vi: I'm using 11.04. cat /etc/lsb-release says "DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04". so I don't know what you're running [20:20] erUSUL, I assume "Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub" means that they are version 2? [20:20] Stava: yes [20:20] erUSUL, thanks [20:20] ki2011: Try installing the ubuntu-desktop package [20:21] Stava: np [20:21] undecim: do i get that from the Software Center? [20:21] ki2011: Then you should have an option like "Ubuntu Desktop" or "Gnome" or something similar [20:21] erUSUL, do you know what happens if i connect a usb 3 device to a usb 2 port? Will it work but at reduced speed (limit of usb2)? [20:21] ki2011: Yes [20:21] ki2011: Or synaptic package manager, or by typing "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" in a terminal [20:22] undecim: alright, i'll try that. but i do have the option right now! [20:22] Stava: if the connectors are phisically compatible i spect so; but can't be sure [20:22] ki2011: What is the option called? [20:22] alright [20:23] undecim: Ubuntu Desktop Session [20:23] Anyone know of a good/cheap VPS that supports ubuntu? :P [20:23] ki2011: Try installing the Ubuntu-desktop package and try the option again [20:23] I found one but not sure if it's a scam or something... o_O [20:23] Gaming4JC: Define "cheap" [20:24] undecim: VforVPS (0.99 first month and $4.99 afterwords)? [20:24] idk that's legit though xD [20:24] undecim: alright, thanks! [20:24] Gaming4JC: And by "supports Ubuntu" You mean you want it to run Ubuntu Server? [20:24] undecim: yepyep [20:24] Gaming4JC: Any descent VPS is going to be at least $30/month [20:25] Gaming4JC: All the cheap guys oversell their server space, and your VPS constantly runs out of resources [20:25] undecim: Well, it's the basic plan? ah... yeah you might be right [20:25] i just installed proftpd and am trying to find the conf file ... i dont think installed it ... what can i do ? [20:25] Gaming4JC: Some of the more expensive guys do it as well, but far less often. [20:25] i just installed proftpd and am trying to find the conf file ... i dont think installed it ... what can i do ? [20:26] is there a jolicloud channel anywhere? [20:26] I modify my trackpoint behavior using udev rules, but after waking from hibernate the rules are no longer present. Do I need to do something special? [20:26] undecim: But still if you're tight on a buck do you think that site might be reputable? :/ [20:26] Gaming4JC: What kind of price range are you looking for? [20:26] !ot [20:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [20:26] nilon_: #jolicloud apparabtky is [20:26] undecim: Really cheap, lol. xP [20:27] Gaming4JC: Just do some research on it first [20:27] nilon_: *apparantly [20:27] oh! good [20:27] I'll try that, thanks [20:27] at freenode? [20:27] Ok, I have just looked at the HDD and tried to mount it using Disk uyility, and its still saying "Permission Denied". I really need to get some files from this drive, anyone got any clues why its not working? It is the same for any USb storage device [20:27] Gaming4JC: Google search for "[VPS Provide] sucks", "[VPS Provider] is a scam", etc and see what other people are saying they have problems with [20:27] shoutpc: /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf ?? [20:27] undecim: Well, it traces back to http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/FDCservers.net which seems legit, but McAffee has a fit http://www.trustedsource.org/query/67.159.28.222 [20:27] nilon_: yes [20:27] I can't mount any USB storage =/ [20:28] undecim: It's a bit too new, unless I search via the parent company... which is a good idea thanks :) [20:28] drt33838, there is no conf file ... i didnt see one [20:28] Gaming4JC: I like their support line: "At the moment, we do not have any refund policy that means you cannot have your money back, but if you find any issue feel free to contact us round the clock and our staff will be pleased to entertain you with the best they could! " [20:28] Gaming4JC: That reputation MAY have been caused by people abusing their VPSs.... [20:28] Gaming4JC: that's from the VforVPS website === captnmorgen is now known as captn-brb [20:29] mbeierl: that is a little lacking... :/ [20:29] shoutpc: i dunno, try reinstall? sudo apt-get install --reinstall proftpd [20:29] Can we please try to stay on-topic here? Finding a good VPS isn't really within the scope of this channel. [20:30] shoutpc: at least i just installed it and its there [20:30] Gaming4JC: Is there any reason you need a VPS rather than a plain 'ol shared hosting plan? [20:30] undecim: To run a small private minecraft server, yes. [20:31] drt33838, no conf file and i reinstalled [20:31] Gaming4JC: If you have the hardware, you could setup the server on your own network. [20:32] undecim: True, but I don't leave my computer on all the time, waste too much electricity :s [20:32] not to mention my connection stinks [20:32] lol [20:32] Gaming4JC: understandable [20:32] shoutpc: check the FILES section in the man page ? [20:32] Gaming4JC: There are service that offer private game servers. Surely one will offer a cheap private minecraft server [20:32] drt33838, how do i do that ? [20:33] undecim: hmm perhaps... *googles* [20:33] needs to support MCLawl :D [20:34] Gaming4JC: Or even find a buddy that has his own server or VPS and see if he'll let you run the minecraft server on it. [20:34] shoutpc: man proftpd [20:35] undecim: Yeah my buddy was paying $75 monthly and told me to help him find a better VPS... lol [20:35] Gaming4JC: lol [20:35] undecim: Plus it had downtime, total rip-off [20:35] :s [20:35] Hello, I just installed drivers for WUSB600n v2 on ubuntu 32bit 10.10 and I can see my router, but not connect. Can anyone help? [20:36] Gaming4JC: I know of a good VPS for $30/month [20:36] hey guys, how is the 'show desktop' button supposed to work? [20:36] Gaming4JC, undecim: As I mentioned before, this isn't really within the scope of this channel. You can try #ubuntu-offtopic for opinions. [20:36] So, I have a problem. I'm trying to migrate to an encrypted home directory, and I've almost succeeded, but it doesn't always auto-mount when I login, which causes problems. Anyone know what I can do. [20:36] Pici: kk, sorry :P [20:37] bencahill: click it [20:37] Pici: Ok, heading over to off-topic... :] [20:37] aeon-ltd: are you running ubuntu right now? === Guest59946 is now known as RaNdY === RaNdY is now known as Guest21463 [20:38] bencahill: no [20:39] drt33838, didnt help me at all ... how do i make a conf file or remake it [20:39] shoutpc: dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/proftpd* | grep conf [20:39] aeon-ltd: ok, because I think I've found a bug with it === richard is now known as Guest182 [20:39] bencahill: describe it, ask someone here to test it aswell [20:39] shoutpc: i have a line like rw-r--r-- root/root 4731 2009-12-22 10:58 ./usr/share/proftpd/templates/proftpd.conf [20:39] shoutpc: do you? [20:40] dockbarx is broken: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555540/ Can anyone help me with it's zeitgesit/dbus error? [20:40] thanks [20:40] dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/proftpd* | grep conf [20:41] drt33838, rw-r--r-- root/root 4833 2010-11-18 04:48 ./usr/share/proftpd/templates/proftpd.conf [20:41] drt33838, looks like the documetation is wrong ... said it was in /etc/proftpd.conf [20:41] hi i've got a hd camera which create .mov movies. Viewing them on my ubu 10.04 lts is very choppy, in both vlc and totem. What could i do to get it smooth? [20:42] shoutpc: yh, well i have a conf file where it should be as well. i would guess u just need to copy that template to /etc/proftpd/ and it shud work [20:42] drt33838, ok [20:42] marramodou@yahoo.com === captn-brb is now known as captnmorgen [20:43] aeon-ltd: ok, so 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. I would think that whenever there are any windows open, the show desktop function should show the desk [20:43] top [20:43] undecim: hey, i downloaded the package, restarted and logged in using a desktop session, still not working. any thoughts? [20:43] drt33838, what was the command to copy the file [20:44] ki2011: Do you have an option for "Gnome" [20:44] nope [20:44] aeon-ltd: if not all windows are open, but the 'show desktop' function was last used to restore windows, it works as expected [20:44] ki2011: Odd. [20:44] aeon-ltd: I tried earlier, but no takers :( [20:44] i know! [20:44] can anyone test a ubuntu bug for me? [20:45] undecim: thing is, i used to be able to run a desktop session. not anymore though! [20:45] bencahill: then report it, but if you can set its urgency to low [20:45] what is a render error [20:45] ki2011: Yeah, that's odd. [20:46] help please. i need russian chatroom [20:46] ki2011: What options do you have? [20:46] aeon-ltd: okay, but I want to test it (or have someone else) test it on another, just to make sure it's not just me :) [20:46] bencahill: ok [20:46] !bugs [20:46] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [20:46] undecim: i have a config console, desktop edition, desktop edition safe mode and netbook edition [20:47] So, I have a problem. I'm trying to migrate to an encrypted home directory, and I've almost succeeded, but it doesn't always auto-mount when I login, which causes problems. Anyone know what I can do? [20:47] trying to get some help with apache2 and mod_proxy. when i load a page its not finding the pictures/js/etc because its looking in /var/www/ and thats not where the files are. [20:47] mbrigdan: is it in fstab? [20:48] aeon-ltd, Its not supposed to be, in theory it should mount when I log in. [20:48] mbrigdan: What have you done thus far in order to migrate to an encrypted home directory? [20:49] mbrigdan: this makes no sense... :-/ [20:49] undecim, This, pretty much: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/06/migrating-to-encrypted-home-directory.html [20:49] bencahill, What doesn't make sense? [20:50] mbrigdan: Okay, that howto is needlessly complex and looks like it will be problematic... [20:50] mbrigdan: There is a much easier way to migrate over... [20:50] undecim, Well, I followed it without too many problems [20:50] mbrigdan: see undecim ^^ [20:51] mbrigdan: Usually, all you need to do is go into recovery mode and rune "ecryptfs-migrate-home -u username" where username is your username [20:51] Hello, I'm back. #Windows could not sort my problem. [20:51] undecim, I tried that, and it didn't work. I sort-of had this problem when it was just a private directory too, it often didn't automatically mount when I logged in. [20:51] mbrigdan: Though it is highly recommended that you make a backup of your data before doing so [20:52] mbrigdan: What happened that the migration script didn't work? [20:53] How can I get my windows 7 installation to work off my desktop/my computer? It says to do that rather than boot from it which it does not do anyway. Yes my bios is set to CD first. [20:53] Yugnoswam: what is 'it'? [20:54] undecim, 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] how do i install the kde desktop without all the extras of kubuntu? [20:54] undecim: i have a config console, desktop edition, desktop edition safe mode and netbook edition [20:54] rtdos: look for 'kde-core' [20:55] mbrigdan: Okay, let me read through that howto you linked so I can see what state your home folder is in... [20:55] aeon-ltd, isn't kde-core a metapackage that includes all of the Kubuntu stuff? [20:55] bencahill: Installation notes that came with the disc. I've never installed off desktop apart from when running a secondary OS but this says it is for a full install [20:55] Lachance: yes but not as much as kubuntu-desktop [20:55] aeon-ltd: is that basically the same thing for xfce, lxde, and other desktops? [20:56] rtdos: how do you mean? [20:56] mbrigdan: You have automatic login disabled, correct? [20:56] Yugnoswam: ignore the instructions, as they do not apply to you in any shape, form, or factor :) [20:56] undecim, That's correct [20:56] aeon-ltd: is xfce4 desktop available without all the xubuntu extras? [20:56] Yugnoswam: you cannot install windows from inside linux onto the disc linux is running on, by any stretch of the imagination :O [20:56] bencahill: well I have tried booting but it just went past it. [20:56] and /home/.ecryptfs/user/.ecryptfs/auto-mount exist, correct? [20:57] rtdos: Hi. I think you would say 'sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop' [20:57] anyone 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] rtdos: no idea, seach around in synaptics, though imo if you want 'light' then don't use DEs :) [20:57] bencahill: linux isnt running on a disc? [20:57] Yugnoswam: You say this is a computer you bought? what model? [20:57] DShepherd: Try devede [20:57] DShepherd: I would use "K3b" but you might use "brasero", I think. [20:57] DShepherd: devede [20:57] Yugnoswam: sorry, disc = hdd [20:57] DShepherd, use brasero for that [20:57] undecim: Oh, does GNOME Ubuntu not use brasero any more? [20:57] disk = hdd? disc = CD/DVD etc [20:57] DShepherd, burn it as a file [20:57] DShepherd: He wants to burn a DVD [20:57] bencahill: it's just the pc I have had forever [20:58] DShepherd: I don't think Brasero will convert an AVI to a DVD [20:58] Yugnoswam: not sure if this applies to your problem: http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony [20:58] Yugnoswam: no, I'm saying above ^^ when I said disc, I meant hdd, you're correct, I should have used disk or hdd :) [20:58] Yugnoswam: That's how a lot of people use disk/disc but there is no official correct difference between the two. [20:58] undecim, ok... [20:58] somaunn, would burn it so that it plays in a dvd player? [20:58] guntbert: I am running ubuntu and another version of windows 7 as a virtual disk already [20:58] kwtm: meh, I agree with him, I just messed up above :) [20:58] DShepherd: oops, wrong person... mean those last two messages for kwtm [20:58] undecim, devede you say? [20:58] lol :) [20:58] DShepherd: Aye. You should be able to install that from the software center. [20:59] bencahill: 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] undecim: Oh, okay. I admit I use KDE programs a lot more. [20:59] kwtm, k3b is an kde app right? [20:59] DShepherd: Yes, it is KDE. [20:59] kwtm: with a K is your HDD, with a C is a CD/DVD/Blu-ray etc [20:59] DShepherd, if your dvd player supports mp4 and/or Divx then you can do it like that [20:59] Yugnoswam: what in the **** are you talking about? what do you mean by "off your desktop"? [20:59] DShepherd: It will convert the video to DVD format, let you setup menus if you want, etc. [21:00] Yugnoswam: 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. [21:01] bencahill: 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] kwtm: ok, sorry. [21:01] kwtm: see this page for common and accepted usages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelling_of_disc [21:01] kwtm: I did not mean to offend you in any way, shape or form. My apologies. [21:01] Yugnoswam: lol ;) [21:02] bencahill: I am right with the disc/disk thing right?! XD [21:02] Yugnoswam: according to me and wikipedia, yes. I have not done much or any actual study on the matter. [21:03] s/me and wikipedia/wikipedia and I/ :) [21:03] ^^ meh, forget that :( [21:03] bencahill: I've had this conversation before and it's always been that way. so we and wiki are right I think. [21:04] Yugnoswam: probably :), but it doesn't really matter, and is ot...back to your problem :) [21:04] Yugnoswam: when you say 'You put the disc in', do you mean boot to it? [21:04] bencahill: 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] Hello, Is there any software i can use to show my desktop while on webcam? [21:05] undecim, Oh sorry, I didn't see your second question. Yes, ut does exist === jeffbailey is now known as jbailey [21:05] bencahill: no, I mean when you have booted you pc up, you can but the disc in and then the installation appears. Your actually on your OS. [21:05] Yugnoswam: psu didn't break because of partitioning, probably something unrelated :) No, you don't need to partition before-hand [21:05] mbrigdan: Okay, make sure some folders are properly symlinked.... [21:05] Yugnoswam: and where do you read this? [21:06] bencahill: in the documents (bumf) that came with win7ult [21:06] undecim: i tried re-installing the desktop package, i got a "package already installed" message. [21:06] mbrigdan: ~/.ecryptfs -> /home/.ecryptfs/user/.ecrypts [21:06] bencahill: It was the PSU because my screen dimmed then powered off with a loud *beep* [21:07] what is a render error? [21:07] mbrigdan: /home/.ecryptfs/user/.Private/.ecryptfs -> /home/.ecryptfs/user/.ecryptfs [21:07] <___flazzid> can anyone tell me why when i try to useubuntu software center to get apps it says " waiting for apt-get to exit " yet it never exits [21:07] anyone know if there is something special that needs to be done to mount a samba share from ubuntu on windows 7? [21:07] Yugnoswam: I don't know what it's saying, but you cannot format/partition an hdd you are running from. :-/ [21:07] i can mount the share fine from linux to linux...but im unable to mount it when in windows7 [21:07] mbrigdan: and ~/.ecryptfs should also link when the folder is not mounted [21:07] any recommended webcam app to stream desktop while in video conversation [21:08] i want to use ubuntu 10.10 instead of my 10.04... however is that a good choice?... is ubuntu 10.10 buggy??? [21:08] Yugnoswam: I'm saying that partitioning the hard drive would not have caused the psu to fail directly [21:08] bencahill: its a small psu n didn't have enough power or something. [private] [21:08] Allen1: Any reason in particular you want to switch? [21:08] well... [21:08] Yugnoswam: ok, whatever, back to the problem... [21:09] my ubuntu 10.04 acting slow and i had to do alot of stuff to get the wireless to work [21:09] undecim, Hmm, that may have been the problem, let me logout/in and see if it works [21:09] now i want to c if 10.10 would jus work stright [21:09] *straight [21:09] Allen1: Try a Live CD of 10.10 [21:09] Allen1: That should give you an idea of how it will work for you [21:10] k [21:10] but overall [21:10] <___flazzid> Allen1: i wish i hadnt mad the change myself but it does seem to work alot better with my wifi then 10.04 but then again every system is different [21:10] do u kno if it is buggy? [21:10] thanks kwtm and aeon-ltd [21:10] Allen1: no issues here [21:11] Allen1: It all depends on your computer. Sometimes it works better, sometimes it works worse [21:11] Allen1: All you can do is give the Live CD a go. [21:11] o! [21:11] thanks [21:11] Allen1: On my Asus, I've had 0 issues [21:11] anyone of u had any serious issues with 10.10 [21:11] ??? [21:12] Alien1? [21:12] describe your question [21:12] hey guys [21:12] Allen1: working like a charm here [21:12] hi, why do .mov movies playback in slowmotion? [21:12] is there any way t ohide [process]es from top / ps / etc? really don't care about drivers when eyeballing resources [21:12] stanman246: not enough cpu? [21:12] stanman246: It's probably your CPU speed. and depends on your client at times. [21:12] <___flazzid> Allen1 define serious cause right now when i try to use the ubuntu software center it says waiting for apt-get to close and have been dealing with same issue for 3 days [21:12] Hello, #Ubuntu. I'm getting an error in GRUB which might have something to do with the fact that I recently added a new partition to my boot device in the pre-existing blank space. [21:13] ACameron: can't boot? [21:13] JackyAlcine: That's correct. "mount: mounting [stuff] \n failed: Invalid argument" [21:13] stanman246, covert it to 720p or less work better [21:13] JackyAlcine: "mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory". Repeat with s/dev/sys [21:13] ACameron: Lemme guess... GRUB can't find the linux file? [21:13] Anyway for you to get the exact dump on screen? That's needed. [21:14] how can i tell where a disk is mounted? [21:14] MrUnagi: cat /proc/mounts [21:14] JackyAlcine: I'm not sure. It's saying "Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init", though. [21:14] ACameron: Why is it trying to mount to /root/dev? [21:14] dodgy_script, any idea what software to use for that? And how to check if it's 1080 or 720p? [21:14] ACameron: Wow, your system sounds like it's all over the place. === XLV_ is now known as XLV [21:15] JackyAlcine: I can type it out to a pastebin if you like, but I can't very well copy/paste it. [21:15] undecim: could it possibly be because i have mutter installed and running?!! [21:15] is there any way to hide [process]es from top / ps / etc? really don't care about drivers when eyeballing resource usage [21:15] ACameron: Sounds like you need to change the root option on the linux line [21:15] JackyAlcine: I can also tell you the GRUB menu entry I'm trying to boot. [21:15] ACameron: Can you get to the grub menu? [21:15] ki2011: mutter? [21:15] undecim: Yes, 1 sec... [21:15] ACameron: That'd be helpful. [21:15] stanman246, mediainfo, ffmpeg, mplayer [21:15] stanman246, mediainfo is my favorite [21:15] ACameron: Also, can you pastebin your GRUB config files? [21:15] undecim: it locks my visual preferences for optimal performance [21:15] stanman246, i would use mplayer to check and play them . also ffmpeg is great [21:16] JackyAlcine: Not easily. [21:16] ki2011: That I think might be causing the problem. [21:16] undecim: JackyAlcine: I'm in GRUB now (GRUB 1, FYI). Let me pastebin the menu entry I'm trying to boot...

[21:30] ACameron: Well... I guess you'll have to try root=/dev/sd{b,c,d,e}{1,2} until you find the right one. [21:30] undecim: Perhaps its partition editor can help me figure this out. [21:30] ACameron: Perhaps [21:31] ACameron: I think maybe since you have the partition numbers wrong, the init script is having trouble... [21:31] ACameron: If you tell GParted to fix the partition numbers, that might fix it [21:31] drpi: is this a removable device or built in? [21:31] mbeierl: built in [21:31] drpi: also, do you have a link /dev/dvd or /dev/cdrom ?

[22:16] olaaaaaaaaaaaa === vivid` is now known as vivid [22:16] In the Personal File Sharing Preferences Option i have a USB adapter do i choose "Share Files over Network" or "Share Files over Bluetooth?? [22:17] john38, are you trying to share files over your home network or with a bluetooth device like a phone? [22:18] I've setup ssh key based authentication (http://www.debuntu.org/ssh-key-based-authentication-p2), but I'm still asked for password. What could the reason be? [22:18] naptastic which type of pxe server are you setting up? [22:18] naptastic, i have 2 computers one which is wired with Wireless router sharing internet with other computer with USB Adapter but i want to transfer some files between them [22:18] hi there [22:18] john38, then you want "Share Files over Network" === Braindead is now known as Guest18484 [22:19] shotty, I'm not sure how to answer that? I'm using tftpd-hpa and dhcp3-server from Maverick main [22:19] sandstrom: all you have to do on a default ubuntu install is use ssh-copy-id [22:20] naptastic, so how do i do this file transfering thing [22:20] naptastic, where and how to go about setting this up [22:20] sandstrom: without you giving more details my first guess would be a permissions issue or you made some mistake following the instructions. I'd recommend you just start over and use ssh-copy-id === Guest18484 is now known as _Braindead_ [22:21] jrib: I got the key generated, and added the public key to authorized_keys on the remote host. When I ssh (using the -i flag pointing to the private key) I'm still asked for a password. [22:21] naptastic, under "Share Files over the Network" it says "this feature cannot be enabled because the required packages are not installed on your system" [22:21] john38, I've never used the personal sharing wizard you mentioned, so I don't know how to guide you further, except to point you to google [22:21] naptastic You may find this site quite useful, it was invaluable to me when setting up a pxe server at home. It may not be exactly what you're looking for but may offer some helpful info http://www.serenux.com/2010/05/howto-setup-your-own-pxe-boot-server-using-ubuntu-server/ [22:22] shotty, thank you! I'll just lurk here while I read... [22:22] flashplayer square 64 bit linux.... i have placed the libflashplayer.so file in the plugins folder for both opera and mozilla.... any flash site (youtube for instance) complains about needing the latest flashplayer... with links to the 32 bit version... what might i be failing to do to get the 64 bit version to work.... do i need to have a 32 bit version installed first?? [22:22] naptastic Best of luck [22:22] john38, both machines running linux, gnome ? [22:22] Hello, I can't login on my ubuntu 10.10 (logs out instantly after login), but I can login into other users. So the system is healthy but appearntly not the user prefernces. Where do one start to debug if it's the users settings fault? [22:23] brontoeee, both 10.04 32bit [22:23] tarrasch: ~/.xsession-errors [22:23] cryptodira: you need to close all instances of firefox and start it again [22:24] john38, i find the easy way is ssh, first ping the machines, then install ssh on both, then you may use nautilus to mount one machine user home to another and share stuff [22:24] I know I get the same problem when using Safe Mode and Recovery Console. But I can login from ctrl+alt+f1, does that narrow it down anything? [22:24] brontoeee, what is ssh [22:24] Cant get any spdif output from any digital device in ubuntu 10.10. everything unmuted + turned up and spdif box checked.. receiver set to coax connection. optical doesn't work either. analog works fine. its realtek 887-vd intel HD [22:24] tarrasch: read ~/.xsession-errors [22:25] jrib, thanks! [22:25] brontoeee, when i enable personal file sharing with password do have to enable sharing for specific folder? [22:25] jrib, ah, error in .profile :p [22:25] you're the best jrib!!!! :) [22:26] tarrasch: no problem :) [22:26] john38, i never used those wizards, let me google up a ssh guide, hold on [22:27] !ssh [22:27] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [22:27] once you have ssh'd into a machine is there an easy command to transfer files over [22:28] john38: not if you have an admin login [22:28] dodgy_script: scp [22:28] dodgy_script, you can use nautilus to mount a ssh point and then drag/drop mice [22:28] hey nothingspecial, are you running ubuntu right now? [22:28] bencahill: debian why? [22:29] bencahill: I can move to the next room [22:29] nothingspecial, when i enable share public files on network which folder which folder will be visible on other machines === marcusant is now known as mrcsnt [22:29] nothingspecial, brontoeee, ok i'll man page it ! thankyou [22:29] nothingspecial: that would be great, I've got this bug I want someone to test, see below: [22:29] so 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. I would think that whenever there are any windows open, the show desktop function should show the desktop [22:30] hey when i use ifconfig -a it shows eth0 wlan0 and lo. What is lo and why is it on? [22:30] dodgy_script: man pages are very useful! ;) [22:30] C3D lo is loopback [22:30] C3D, lo is the loopback interface. It's necessary. [22:30] !spdif [22:30] sandstrom: did ssh-copy-id work? [22:31] C3D i wouldn't worry about it [22:31] thanks just wondering cause im trying to set up internet sharing and was wondering if it needed to be there or not [22:31] C3D, it does, and you may safely ignore it. [22:32] C3D, lo is a way for linux to communicate with it self at least that is what i understand ! [22:32] dodgy_script, john38 just use file/connect to server, then server data and voila [22:32] bencahill: hang on, I don`t even have a bottom pane, brb [22:32] jrib: I didn't try, since I already got the files copied (although I understand your point; I might very well have made a mistake and using ssh-copy-id will assure things are setup correctly). Will try if I can't nail down the problem myself. [22:32] nothingspecial: sure, np [22:32] jrib: no joy.... same request to upgrade to the latest 10 version of flash. [22:32] john38, i cant find a simple guide with google, funny [22:32] nothingspecial: you can use mod4 + d also, same behavior (at least on ubuntu) [22:32] brontoeee, ok [22:32] john38: How are you sharing? [22:32] sandstrom: if you want to troubleshoot, you should run your ssh command with -vvv and check your server logs (and pastebin both) [22:33] cryptodira: where did you put libflashplayer.so exactly? [22:33] nothingspecial, System>Preferences>Personal File Sharing [22:34] jrib: /usr/lib64/mozilla and /usr/lib64/opera [22:34] cryptodira: for firefox, you should just use ~/.mozilla/firefox/ [22:34] erm [22:34] cryptodira: for firefox, you should just use ~/.mozilla/plugins/ [22:36] bencahill: That is indeed what happens, why, I could not say. You have a point, but I have never considered it like this. [22:36] nothingspecial: thx :) [22:36] cannot find a clonezilla channel on here but does anyone know how one would push applications to many PC's on the network? i would like to have my clonezilla server deploying my images but i now need a way to send applications/packages out to multiple clients. [22:37] john__: I don`t have that option, is it samba or something? [22:37] john38 ^^ [22:37] apt-get remove vlc doesn't find but I have it installed :( [22:38] shotty: could use partimage and mount a fileshare, you can then tel partimage to drop the image onto the internal disk of the client [22:38] honeypot: try: dpkg -l | grep vlc [22:38] hey guys how can I show the charge that I have on the battery on my laptop? [22:38] jrib: that is what i thought initially, however, there is NO /plugins anywhere in the ~/.mozilla/ hierarchy. [22:39] cryptodira: create it [22:39] what is kate? [22:39] Cant get any spdif output from any digital device in ubuntu 10.10. everything unmuted + turned up and spdif box checked.. receiver set to coax connection. optical doesn't work either. analog works fine. its realtek 887-vd intel HD [22:39] jrib: duh....

The thing that shows IP address, etc? [22:40] No sound out of totem after upgrade to Maverick :-( [22:40] shotty: if you setup ssh keys, you can run a script which will run through a list of hosts and tell it to install a package, depends how many systems you have etc [22:40] <^Mike\b> cognitiaclaeves: sshd, I think [22:41] cognitiaclaeves: /etc/update-motd/ the fies in there [22:41] has anyone else seen this ? [22:41] any ideas on where to find scripts for this? or perhaps a link to a tutorial? [22:41] cognitiaclaeves: I've been wondering this myself, it looks like this can change it: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ssh-welcome-banner-on-ubuntu/ [22:42] Enter text here...hellloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [22:42] <^Mike\b> bastidrazor, cognitiaclaeves: No, those just update the motd, as the name suggests.

We have upward of 1000 clients but i would like to setup a full Ubuntu IT Suite of 30 machines [22:42] shotty: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/shutdown-multiple-computers-via-ssh-try-different-passwords-835602/ just change the executed command ;) [22:42] I found it. it's /usr/bin/landscape-sysinfo.

[22:48] i like Istanbul but on the current LTS Ubuntu, the package provided does not work! [22:48] hdon: is there a later one available. Maybe in a PPA? [22:48] <^Mike\b> sandstrom: Your ssh key file isn't a key O_o [22:49] does anyone know when 2.6.37 will be available as a standard update for maverick? [22:49] hdon: have you logged a bug to say it's not working too [22:49] ActionParsnip, i haven't had time to check! [22:49] jrib: made the directory... added the .so restarted FF.... still no joy,,,, thoughts? [22:49] <^Mike\b> sandstrom: Also note, you probably shouldn't have a file called ~/.ssh/id_rsa. [22:49] ActionParsnip, i think i did some time ago. it has been this way since the LAST LTS :( [22:49] cryptodira: what version does http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ say you have? [22:49] <^Mike\b> sandstrom: use ssh's -i option to specify the key to use [22:49] FiReSTaRT: I don't think it will personally, it's a natty kernel as far as I am aware. I could be wrong [22:50] #manila [22:50] FiReSTaRT, it should be no problem to install this even though it says natty: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.37-natty/ [22:51] sandstrom: user is also "ubuntu" on the server? Are you specifying the correct user? [22:51] jrib: flashplayer_square_p2_64bit_linux_092710.tar.gz which yields libflashplayer.so [22:51] ActionParsnip: i know it's available for maverick, but i don't wanna test upgrading the kernel on my main "desktop" machine.. it would be nice to run without the broadcom STA driver though ;) [22:51] cryptodira: huh? [22:51] thanks sam-_- i'll add the repo and see :P [22:51] how do i install a printer driver for Canon MP150? [22:51] jrib: user on the local machine is ubuntu, on the remote it has the name backupsystem. When I connect I use ssh backupsystem@remote.host [22:52] cryptodira: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ should say "You have version _________ installed" [22:52] ^Mike\b: it looks like a key (updated the pastie: http://pastie.org/1475468) [22:52] FiReSTaRT, it will NOT replace your kernel. it will be installed alongside your "old" kernel [22:52] sam-_-: so i'd go into grub and boot under it? [22:53] FiReSTaRT, y. basically that's it. [22:53] sam-_-: so i just install the 2 packages, run update grub and reboot? [22:53] sandstrom: now check what the server is doing [22:53] hi all. how can i get bigger notify popups in my desktop. i cant read the content now. [22:54] adi11: what screen res? [22:54] how can i remove and reinstall network manager without interrupting internet? [22:54] i am talking about the notify sistem popups === Koopa516 is now known as KoopaBRB [22:54] FiReSTaRT, it should run update-grub automatically after installing. doesn't hurt to do it manually though. [22:54] ther ar som flash playyer tu linux?? [22:54] <^Mike\b> sandstrom: Sorry, misread. I'm not sure what's going on there [22:54] bencahill : it the max of my monitor [22:54] adi11: which is? [22:54] sam-_-: we'll see... but i'll blow my load if i dont have to depend on sta :P [22:54] just a sec [22:54] can anybody help me with printer driver? [22:55] !language | FiReSTaRT [22:55] FiReSTaRT: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [22:55] FiReSTaRT, how is the module called? [22:55] Anyone else having sound problems under Totem in 10.10 ? [22:55] 1152X964 [22:55] adi11: ^^ weirdest screen size i've ever seen :) [22:56] sam-_-: not sure about modules, but 2.6.37 should have native support for broadcom wireless chipsets... that means that i don't have to use the proprietary driver [22:56] hahha yes.thats becasue i have a integrated sis of 2004 [22:56] I loged in with ubuntu livecd on top of windows xp (which is crashed). How can i backup the windows now ? [22:56] adi11: tft or crt? [22:56] jrib: from here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html [22:57] FiReSTaRT, i wouldn't count on it but it's worth a try. [22:57] its not a lcd. [22:57] jrib: thanks for helping out. Checked the authlog on the remote and there is nothing in the logs until I try a password (which is fallback), but the key authentication isn't mentioned. [22:57] i think crt [22:57] cryptodira: yes, I understand where you got it from (I also use it), but I need the information I asked about from that specific page :) [22:57] it heat my small room in the winter :) [22:57] sandstrom: interesting, it usually says "failed because blah" when it fails [22:58] sandstrom: server is also ubuntu? [22:58] adi11: could you take a screenshot of the problem? [22:58] is there any way to get bigger popups and the content in it [22:58] jrib: yes [22:58] jrib: perhaps there is a specific log for sshd that I should look at? [22:58] sam-_-: do i install just the headers and image for amd64 architecture or also that headers all package? [22:59] bencahill : there is not a problem. i am talkin about a tweak for better reading my popups notify systems [22:59] sandstrom: I only know of /var/log/auth.log [22:59] burned the 10.10 iso and when I boot it i get 1. 2. Select a CD-ROM .... ? options 1 and 2 are blank === gord_ is now known as gord-ac100 [23:00] FiReSTaRT, if you don't use dkms (thirdparty modules) you don't have to install the headers at all. i recommend installing all 3 packages though. [23:00] sam-_-: btw i'm going by this link http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/205258/linux_wifi_gets_easier_with_new_broadcom_driver.html [23:00] sam-_-: ok and which order should i install'em in? [23:01] jrib: 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] jrib: (for this specific ssh user) [23:01] bencahill: i have problems with my eyes. this is why i need bigger fonts in the popups of the osd of ubuntu [23:01] adi11: you mean the notifications in the top-right hand corner? [23:01] jrib: 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] sandstrom: it should still work, but you could re-enable it just to troubleshoot [23:01] FiReSTaRT, in the order it works :-) kernel headers-all headers-generic [23:02] bencahill: yes. the black windows with white fonts. [23:02] adi11, bencahill , there was a package called notify-send for manual notifications maybe that has options? [23:02] sam-_-: ok.. sounds like a plan.. thanks buddy.. i never did this outside of the normal update process :) [23:02] cryptodira: 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] FiReSTaRT, good luck. [23:02] jrib: how would I do that? [23:03] bencahill : every time you have a action from let say pidgin or empathy it notify you [23:03] sandstrom: you don't have access to the machine anymore? [23:03] jrib: I do, but I don't know how I can re-enable password logins once a user is created [23:03] adi11: right, I know [23:03] sandstrom: I'm not familiar with this. There was a prompt to disable password logins when you created the user? How did you create the user? [23:04] adduser --disabled-password [23:04] bencahill: i simetimes use configuration editor to tweak some setting... do you know if there is something in there to get bigger fonts on popups? [23:05] Hello, I just kinda bricked my laptop. I was hoping someone could help shed some light on this? [23:05] sandstrom: oh I see what you mean. That should be fine, though you could create a new user without that option just to troubleshoot if you want [23:05] When I connect to my ftpd on my local network.. my ftp client connects fine.. when I connect from a client over the internet.. it connects but then hangs. (Doesnt' list files). How do i solve this? I think it has to do with passiv [23:05] sandstrom: if you want to unlock this user, you can probably just run passwd USER [23:05] The problem now is there is no had found when I boot [23:06] jrib: thanks I'll try that. [23:06] hey guys how can I show the charge that I have on the battery on my laptop? [23:06] how can I see the charge of the battery on the panel?

[23:10] Yes I am doing. That now and I can mount it [23:10] i'm not a sysadmin for sure, but i was setting up an apache server with ubuntu… everything is working just fine, but i don't really understand how to set up a default virtual host. What i mean is that i want to set up a specific virtual host if someone inputs just the ip address of my webserver instead of using the domain name [23:10] yshi: maybe a grub problem? [23:11] Chilaquiles: sudo acpi -b [23:11] yshi: how far do you get when you power on the machine? were you running 64bit before? [23:11] I think so? When I was booting into [23:11] hello, i installed gnome-shell and used gnome-shell --replace to load it, but all it did was screw up gdm, so i removed it, how can i fix it now? [23:11] ActionParsnip: I did that, and now what? [23:11] jrib: yes the .so is in the proper place.... yes, i closed FF properly and restarted... it acutally required installing the flash installer... all appears to work properly... the adobe page reports: [23:12] jrib: haha, I think I got it. my spelling "authorized_keyz" seems a bit h4ckzor [23:12] adi11: if you change the font size in System > Preferences > Appearance, the text on the notifications will increase as well. if you want to increase them separately, see this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/notify-osd/+bug/335383 [23:12] Chilaquiles: it should show the battery status in terminal [23:12] sandstrom: heh [23:12] jrib:10,1,102,65 installed [23:12] thanks bencahill. :) [23:12] ActionParsnip: I did nothing === noel is now known as Guest21165 [23:12] cryptodira: ok, but note that's not square [23:12] I had ubu1010 x64 before, I installed 10.10 386 on my friends hdd [23:12] nickcv: if the server gets a hit a tere exists no specific matchin virtualhost it takes the firt host defined [23:12] !info xbattbar [23:12] xbattbar (source: xbattbar): Display battery status in X11.
