[01:19] yes [01:19] ThOr101, there pm's private messages [01:19] ThOr101, you don't see them? [01:20] linuxman410: Ok, in the distro repositories there are a few Netbook Remixes.

[01:21] bird_turd: yes [01:21] bird_turd: depends on the purpose, but any heavily used language is [01:21] bird_turd: it's as useful as any other programming language, it depends on what you feel comfortable with and what you're trying to achieve [01:21] gnewb the asus eeepc only has a 900 celeron processor [01:22] the 7-1 that is [01:22] 701 [01:22] what kind of things does it typically get used for [01:22] linuxman410: Have you also looked at the 'lighter' versions? [01:22] can u name a few [01:22] linuxman410: the truth about unr is, is that its in no way (technically) better than stock ubuntu. [01:23] bird_turd: most kown is certainly rails web development [01:23] linuxman410: maybe lubuntu or xubuntu will fit to your needs [01:23] linuxman410: Xubuntu is one, Lubuntu is about the lightest I have seen. [01:24] does lubuntu have a netbook version [01:24] I have a question, can anybody help me ?

[01:24] I cant install xmms in lucid distro [01:24] bird_turd: I'm going to make lots of people disagree, but I'd probably place it fairly close to python in its use cases [01:24] how do i install xchat on my ubuntu 10.10 desktop? its connected to the internet but its not the one im using now [01:25] is it good for regular desktop applications(word processor-type things, maintenance tools, etc). non-web things [01:25] jPuff: are you using gnome-xchat? [01:25] How do you even OPEN sdcc? I followed all the installation instructions but I can't open it? [01:25] i am using freenode webchat [01:25] bird_turd: imo, c would be better [01:25] jPuff: go to the ubuntu software centre [01:25] jPuff: sudo apt-get install xchat [01:25] julia_23: from my simulation I see that because it's the first partition it wants to be a primary partition [01:26] n type xchat [01:26] linuxmN410: > http://lubuntu.net/about [01:26] ggomez, why not? [01:26] bird_turd: for desktpo apps: python/qt [01:26] sacarlson: i see, so if i delete my swap it wont do anything will it? [01:26] bird_turd: I'd not use an interpreted language for many of those things, but it certainly is possible [01:26] go for xchat IRC [01:26] :/ Does anyone use SDCC?

If I create a primary and designate it as "/" , can I not worry about not assigning a swap and a /boot? [01:28] julia_23: so If you could delete your swap I think that will work, with it deleted you can create the primary at that location and create anther partition after for swap in a extended partitiion [01:28] what are the Ubuntu bot triggers [01:28] I forgot them [01:28] lmao ! [01:29] Hi gnewb [01:29] Poshe: http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/doc/sdccman.html/node37.html [01:29] Do I know you? [01:29] !bot | lmao [01:29] lmao: Hi!

[01:31] ggomez, shouldn't have any dependency problems if you install it with synaptic. I have it installed on 10.04 and it works [01:31] sacarlson: once I get ubuntu up and working on the new partiton, I will delete all the others [01:31] I didnt find the package [01:31] I ve kubuntu 10.04 [01:32] sacarlson: or is it much better to assign a /boot and swap before installing to save the hasstle? [01:32] julia_23: is just that first partition that needs to be a primary you will have 8 partitions to play with or more after that first space is alocated as a primary from the removal of swap [01:32] Poshe: what happens when to execute sdcc in a terminal? [01:33] schnuffle: how do I execute sdcc in terminal? [01:33] sacarlson: can we PM ? [01:33] Hey, a fellow Kubuntu user! ggomez, you're saying that you've installed "xmms" but when you run xmms, it says command not found? Or you don't find it in the menu? Or it says it can't install? [01:33] !terminal | Poshe [01:33] Poshe: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE).

[01:34] I cant install it [01:34] Aginor: I am a Python fan, but don't know Ruby that well. Would you say that Ruby has a more compact syntax, but Python (having been around longer) has a bigger ecosystem of Programs People Have Already Written? [01:35] Can I try doing the "anyone" factoid?

[01:37] kwtm: or you, whoever had the xmms question [01:37] on ubuntu 10.04 how can i enable root ssh logins by default [01:37] KM0201: Your answer makes me think you meant to point it at ggomez. I did not have any question at all. [01:37] i want to be able to login directly as root [01:37] So I installed vuse. The program runs. But the buttons don't work... [01:37] i know this isnt a good idea but i really need to do it [01:37] oh ok... well ggomez scroll up for info about xmms2 ;) [01:38] Poshe: sdcc is a comand line too so you just enter sdcc and it should run. the tool has no GUI [01:38] i need to winscp files over to certain folders [01:38] if someone is willing to help with packaging issues please pm [01:38] adub: nobody ehre is going to tell you how to do that [01:38] trying to package xmms [01:38] km0201 that is dumb [01:38] How do I reinstall grub2 from my old 10.04 liveCD? [01:38] * AlecTaylor used the alternate 10.10 CD [01:38] there is a valid use to doing this [01:38] schnuffle: sadly, it doesn't run... [01:38] what doe it tell you? [01:38] adub: I will tell you how if you really want, but it would be MUCH more secure if you didn't do a root login. You could, for example, login as a user and then sudo the files into place. [01:38] adub: then why did you choose ubuntu? use fedora or debian, etc.. that allow a root login [01:38] How do I instal vuse so that it actually works? [01:38] schnuffle: I'm trying to sudo apt-get it right now.

So I'm not sure I can answer your question without doing some research on library support for both language [01:39] um, jason, are you talking to me? [01:39] schnuffle: or something like that. [01:39] ggomez: Wow, are you speaking to me? About 20 people spoke between my asking you a question and you answering. [01:39] joe_: really nice impression [01:39] ok [01:39] !who | ggomez [01:39] ggomez: As you can see, this is a large channel.

Search for factoids with "/msg ubottu !search factoid". [01:40] if you want rolling release, however, try linux mint debian edition [01:40] kwtm: but I can only presume that both languages have decent c-bindings, which would make the question more of a moot point since it'd always be possible to fall back on c-libraries [01:40] well on winscp how can i move files over using this program to directories that require root access [01:40] schuffle: how is your ubuntu going? [01:40] Poshe: so where is the binary located /usr/local/bin? [01:40] adub: sudo cp? [01:41] i need to create a folder [01:41] joe_: I have all ssorts of different distri running from suse to mint and all are running fine ) === Guest38741 is now known as RaNdY [01:41] anybody have packaging experience? [01:41] adub: GOod question. I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you, so I'll tell you have to allow SSh login as root, but just keep in mind that you are deliberately making it possible for anyone to login as root (and install a rootkit, which you'll probably never detect). Still want to know? [01:41] adub: perhaps you should google some terminal commands... everything you want to do, does not require a root account [01:41] but I think that if we're going to have a religious war about programming languages, it would be a good idea to move it to a different channel ;) === RaNdY is now known as Guest99151 [01:42] kwtm if they know my password [01:42] KM0201: I think adub wants to use just a plain SCP program (WinSCP) ... does it allow executing terminal commands? That would be nice... [01:42] kwtm: i don't seewhy it wouldnt [01:42] schnuffle: good going....a few weeks back i had enough with windows and decided to shift to ubuntu and since then life has been much better [01:42] kwtm yes [01:42] ggomez, see if this helps: http://tombott.com/install_xmms_on_ubuntu_8.04_8.10_9.04_9.10_10.04_last.fm_scrobble [01:42] how do i enable root login [01:42] schnuffle: I'm not sure what you mean by binary? [01:43] kwtm: have you heard of the distributed botnets that try to guess and bruteforce ssh passwords for common usernames, including root? :) [01:43] @adub: sudo psswd [01:43] adub: Well, I wouldn't say that it would happen only if "they know my password" because: a) they can find out your password (you *are* logging in from a Windows machine, after all), or b) there may be other ways without a password. Aaanyway. [01:43] Poshe: an executable file called sdcc [01:43] Aginor: I think you meant to tell that to adub. [01:43] then change the password [01:43] kwtm: sorry, I did [01:43] then login as su [01:43] na [01:43] nevermind [01:43] i figured it out [01:43] adub: have you heard of the distributed botnets that try to guess and bruteforce ssh passwords for common usernames, including root? :) [01:43] adub: Okay, on the man page, it says Client access may be more finely tuned via the /root/.ssh/authorized_keys file (see below) and the PermitRootLogin server option. [01:44] adub: for ssh security, I'd strongly recommend that you only allow ssh key logins [01:44] adub: If you are going to permit root logins, I strongly recommend you don't allow password logins, and also not to use the default port of 22. Try 22222 or something greater than 1024. [01:44] adub: Yeah, what Aginor said. [01:45] kwtm: security by obscurity doesn't work [01:45] KM0201: Does WinSCP allow terminal access? I haven't used Windows for a long time but I didn't know that it did. I think it's only a file manager. [01:45] kwtm: maybe it leans up your logs a bit [01:45] kwtm: honestly, i really don't know... [01:45] cleans [01:46] schnuffle: ?? Sorry, I don't understand the context. Did you intend your text for someone else? [01:46] schnuffle: I can't seem to be able to find the file actually, in local/bin. there's only a local/share [01:46] kwtm: but logic says if you use the proper terminal command, you should be able to use terminal; [01:46] oi, maybe someone has a link to a how-to/tutorial how to install these tar.gz in lucid 10.04? http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter. bit confused bout the things i find. thx ;) [01:46] wedwo- Thanks !!!!!!! [01:46] kwtm: the suggestion to move the ssh port [01:46] got it thanks guys [01:46] ggomez, come back and tell if it works [01:47] So, I put together a new computer, and as a result I upgraded to the 64-bit version of Ubuntu. However, after 30 minutes or so of uptime, the mouse and keyboard simultaneously freeze. [01:47] JeroenzKlompz: the new gdm no longer supports that kind of themes [01:47] The rest of the system runs fine after this, however [01:47] KM0201: I think the this Windows GUI program is supposed to make it easy for the type of person who typically uses a Windows system. I know there's Putty for Windows, too, but that doesn't have a file manager capability. [01:47] xangua, :( [01:47] wedwo- It works !!!!! [01:48] is sdcc not actually the compiler? [01:48] happy [01:48] xangua, where can i check for those stuff these days === Braindead is now known as Guest58272 [01:48] schnuffle: Oh! I see what you are referring to. You're right that changing the port won't prevent an attack, but I think it decreases the possibility of a drive-by attack since a script-kiddie would need to spend a lot more time port-scanning if they gove above 1024. [01:48] hey is there any dock better than the cairo dock???? [01:48] joe_: docky, avant, better¿ who knows [01:49] cairo, i heard, is the best [01:49] kwtm: thats right, I have some server running with changed ports just to keep my logs clean but even on cchanged ports I get attacks [01:49] !better | joe_ [01:49] joe_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [01:50] why is it that when I unmount my hard drive, /proc disappears [01:50] kwtm: having 2222 or 22222 or 222222 as alternative ports for ssh is hardly going to make much of a difference nowadays since they're well established as alternative ports [01:50] thanks ubottu [01:50] hey guys, i've a project that compiles with cmake how can i add a .h to the path ? [01:50] umount -l /dev/sda0 (using SATA) [01:50] Aginor: well, 222222 won't work. My own ssh port does not contain the digit "2". I don't permit root logins. [01:50] Poshe: please elaborate on your install steps. [01:51] kwtm: yeah, it's bigger than 65363 [01:51] schnuffle: I don't think it's an actual program... thanks though...

The service that auto-detects wired/wireless networks is network-manager, is this correct? If so, what process kicks it off? I'm not seeing any entries for it in /etc/rc*.d [01:54] ascheel: /etc/init/network-manager.conf (it uses upstart) [01:55] trism: upstart doesn't use rc*.d?

[01:56] ascheel: upstart will run the scripts in rc*.d but those are not the primary scripts (the upstart specific ones are in /etc/init/) [01:56] greppy: you on? [01:56] trism: Thanks a ton. :) [01:57] trism: it's not a typical script. How do I prevent it from executing? Do I need to delete it or is there a way to simply disable it>? [01:57] Ok. My goal is to use a livecd to boot into an install located on a USB harddisk. In other words, I'm using the livecd as a bootloader because my internal drive is completly toast. Wut do? [01:58] ascheel: upstart will not run any scripts in that directory that don't end in .conf (I usually move them to .conf-disabled), but if you want to still be able to start them manually, it is probably better to edit the script and add "and never" to the start on line [01:58] trism: exactly what I was looking for. ;) [01:58] can someone help me i need to reduce my graphics or something so my GPU temp will drop to safe levels, i'm currently running 90 degrees C with only network conection and this chat running [01:58] USS_OHIO: failing video card. [01:58] I've tried navigating into the partition where the install is located and running init 1 as root.. but it brings me back into a recovery console and reloads the livecd filesystem [01:59] USS_OHIO: fan probably dead, perhaps no heat sink compound. Hardware failure in other words [01:59] triking: most modern computers can boot to USB drives [01:59] triking: a live CD such as the Ubuntu installation CD should have full USB capabilities to access any of the data you need [01:59] my bios is dumb and has no option for booting [02:00] i'm on a lap top, i opened it up to check for dust and likeness, but it's clean, and fan works fine [02:00] Access isn't my problem. I just want to switch the kernel from the livecd one to the one installed on my usb device. [02:00] ok, got a question can someone help me with writting a script in here cuz the ppl in bash are like jerks about tring to ask a simple question [02:00] i only have this problem when i'm on ubuntu [02:00] works fine with windows [02:00] needlez: paste your script [02:01] USS_OHIO: no graphics card should go that hot.

[02:03] full throttle going balls to the wall, your video card shouldn't go that high IMO [02:04] problem is sudo pm-suspend doesnt work want a command to shutdown the computer that wont require me to be in sudo cuz this script is an autorun script so that i can run it and totem will open then play a movie then close then the computer will shutdown/ sleep [02:04] 2 questions: what happened to xdm and is there a desktop similar to the one on MacOS? [02:05] needlez: sudo takes a password, that won't work in batch mode [02:05] needlez: create a c wrapper and use SETUID on it to execute as root even though you're not root [02:06] isn't there like a way to just run a shutdown command which doesnt require root priv??

[02:09] but you should give it a shot [02:09] then report back to me :D [02:09] i will shump thanks. :D [02:09] needlez: when you run a program, it executes as your user. Setting the SETUID bit will force the program to run as whoever owns it [02:09] ascheel: ok? [02:09] needlez: so if root owns it and SETUID is enabled, then ANYBODY that executes the program will execute it as though they are root [02:09] needlez: you cannot do it with scripts because Linux doesn't allow it, but C programs will work. A c wrapper is a small program written in c that has the sole purpose of executing a command [02:10] Does anyone have any strong opinions on which is better, ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10? [02:10] needlez: because it's a binary program and not a script, you can turn on SETUID. I have one set up. Getting you an example [02:10] ascheel: ok [02:11] needlez: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555616/ [02:11] create a c program with that, compile it, then do this: sudo chown root: /path/to/shutdown/program && sudo chmod 4755 /path/to/shutdown/program [02:12] needlez: do not ever ever set an execution line in a c wrapper to execute a script. Ever. [02:12] ascheel: my script works perfectly, the only issue is that sudo pm-suspend sometimes requires password but other times it doesn't that really all i need to figure out, but thank you for the idea with the c wrapper [02:12] I'm still not sure how to solve my problem. How does one boot ubuntu from ubuntu? [02:12] needlez: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part4/section-7.html [02:13] needlez: another option is to configure sudo that the user can execute the script without password [02:13] Anyone know how to remove the 'S' permission bit: drw-r-Sr-- [02:13] what's the best virtualpc package for ubuntu? [02:13] triking, http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [02:13] I tried to change the /etc/bind/ directory to 664 from 644 [02:13] schnuffle: good idea, I forgot about being able to set up sudo to do that [02:13] and now bind can't start because it doesn't have sudo permissions [02:13] the latest version of plop couldn't detect my usb device [02:14] !best | sympt0m [02:14] sympt0m: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:14] or are you saying use plop within the livecd session? [02:14] Is there a Colin Law around? [02:15] thank you both schnuffle and ascheel: i figured it out, seems that it will run the script without need for password if ive already ran sudo once since ive logged on but if i dont run at least one sudo command then itll prompt for it, so i guess just a little hiccup right now [02:15] wedwo- I could burn a cd with plop, but I would prefer not to. The livecd has all the features I need just in case something else goes wrong [02:15] needlez: incorrect bud. There's a timeout to the sudo password requirement. It's only about 5 minutes or so by default. [02:15] triking, use plop to boot from usb (is what I'm saying) [02:16] wedwo- and when I installed plop on the internal disk (before I fucked it up), it couldn't detect the device [02:16] wedwo- :( [02:16] !language | triking [02:16] triking: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [02:16] speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher [ OK ] [02:16] triking, but if plop can't see your usb you're about out of luck [02:16] this line is holding up boot for a long while at each boot on my aspire one d250 [02:16] ascheel: ahh ok,that explains why it works with a 10 value but not a 7200 value... i guess i can change sudo to not require a password [02:16] assistance? [02:16] explanation? [02:17] wedwo- so its not possible in a fully booted livecd to simply start up the boot process on another device!? [02:17] needlez: you the ONLY person that has access to that machine? [02:17] yes [02:17] wedwo- because the livecd DEFINITELY detects the external disk and whatnot [02:17] in fact it's not booting at all right now [02:17] it's stuck at that. [02:17] k, but be very very careful because that can be a HUGE security hole if anybody has access to it [02:18] ascheel: umm, kk, maybe then i can just give the program before root permisson to run and then it wouldnt ask for password would it?? [02:19] so it be sudo su then totem [02:19] triking, AFAIK if your BIOS cannot boot from the USB then it won't boot from the USB. Others may know of some way to coax it but I don't [02:19] where can I download the 2.6.38-rc1 kernel sources? [02:19] needlez: let's create a c wrapper like I showed you. [02:19] triking: using a floppy drive you can do it [02:19] triking: a usb one if you don't have one on hand [02:19] though a machine that can't boot usb probably can't boot usb floppy [02:19] siganderson: in the linux kernel webpage [02:19] grub.... [02:20] wedwo- well it was my understanding that the bios simply scans the first sector of detected devices for the stage 1 bootloader [02:20] needlez: create a text file, name it 'takeitdown.c' and add this AND ONLY THIS as the contents of the file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/555616/ [02:20] needlez: in /etc/sudoers add a line: ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/binary [02:20] needlez: tell me when you've done that [02:20] ascheel: kk i think ill try that [02:20] rvn its a laptop so floppy is not an option [02:20] needlez: trust me, it's crazy easy. [02:20] triking: well you can't say that like a laptop CANT have a floppy drive, i own many that do, but yes i see your point - CD then? [02:20] xangua, I don't see voices for that version [02:21] triking: there are floppy images out there explicitly to enable USB booting, particularly for puppy linux several years back, and you can make a CD with a floppy image boot [02:21] rvn cd is good. The livecd runs great on it [02:21] Is there anyone with good knowledge of xorg and video drivers (and possibly ACPI) to help me resolve an issue where my laptop screen goes blank when I close the screen, but never comes back on [02:21] triking: if you can find that image and create a CD version of it you can boot to that and chainboot to the USB [02:21] triking, yes, correct, and if the USB device is not detected by BIOS then it won't see any boot sector [02:21] wedwo-: he was speaking with me. [02:22] can anybody tell my why 10.10 is failing to boot on my aspire one d250 at "speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher [ OK ]", when the live version worked and allowed me to install it [02:22] (it said the same thing but eventually booted) [02:22] rvn: see if that's the REAL cause by looking at 'dmesg' or perhaps syslog [02:22] ascheel: i have no access to the machine.. [02:22] Problem: My keyboard and mouse freeze after a while. However, the rest of the system continues to run. Can anyone help? [02:22] ascheel: it won't boot! [02:22] >.> [02:23] ascheel: i have rebooted it in the hopes that it is a one time occurence.. [02:23] rvn: sorry then I won't be much help to you [02:23] ascheel: it displayed a totally different (graphical) boot screen and worked... [02:23] rvn, wedwo- my question is since the livecd session already detects the device (and hence has access to the kernel image and initrd in /usb/boot) then how can I coax the LIVECD to boot [02:23] ascheel: no idea. [02:23] rvn: did you try to ctrl-c it? access a tty (ctrl-alt-f1) [02:23] wedwo, i succeed to boot on usb.... [02:23] rvn, wedo- if you type initrd in bash its says 'command not found' [02:24] triking: do it from the grub prompt, don't go all the way into the livecd session - i don't know how to do this but i know it can be done - boot command, but it needs parameters to do what u want [02:24] ascheel: kk done [02:24] elik: moot, i rebooted and it booted normally, i am unsure why it tried to boot strangely and failed. [02:24] rvn I can't use grub I don't think, not from the internal drive at least (its toast) [02:24] triking: all live linux devices use grub [02:24] needles. ok, type this: gcc takeitdown.c -o takeitdown [02:24] needlez: that will create the actual c program that does the shutdown [02:24] triking: so if you're booting via a live cd, do that but when it says grub: _ don't hit enter or let it time out [02:25] rvn: gotta love those one time hickups [02:25] (well, not all use grub, but most) [02:25] copy vmlinuz and initrd to internal hd /boot somewhere [02:25] elik: yes quite frustrating ;p [02:25] modify grub [02:25] meshuggah, some (older) computers don't have the ability to boot from usb [02:25] and? [02:25] triking: you could also use the live boot to install grub to the hard drive in the device [02:25] rvn well I'm sitting with a terminal open.. is it grub legacy or grub-pc? [02:25] triking: if you don't mean literally toast [02:25] rvn: and it doesn't let you investigate the matter either. Never know when it will spring on you. Like, when you'll reboot the machine via ssh :) [02:25] grub will do the trick [02:25] copy vmlinuz and initrd [02:25] triking: you miss my point, a grub prompt, not grub itself [02:25] rvn that wouldn't work... [02:26] ascheel: kk [02:26] rvn ok, whats the command to bring up the prompt? [02:26] triking: it's not a command [02:26] triking: when you start to boot the live cd you will see "boot:" prompt [02:26] triking: at that prompt you will type a boot command [02:26] rvn yes [02:26] triking: that will access the USB [02:26] needlez: type this. The full thing: sudo chown root: takeitdown && sudo chmod 4755 takeitdown [02:26] i boot from internal hd [02:26] who boot after to usb [02:27] triking: trouble is i'm not terribly familiar with the options, so i don't know how to do it off the top of my ehad [02:27] triking: but it will be the "boot" command [02:27] triking: with some parameters [02:27] triking: if you look it up you should find what you need to know [02:27] needlez: that first sets the owner and group to 'root' then sets the permissions to SETUID (4) so it executes as though it's root, then 755 so ONLY root has write access to the program meaning nobody but root can modify it opening a security hole [02:27] triking: i must go, apologies. [02:27] rvn I don't know how to tell the boot: that it should use the usb device [02:27] ahh fudge he left [02:28] Is there anyone with good knowledge of xorg and video drivers (and possibly ACPI) to help me resolve an issue where my laptop screen goes blank when I close the screen, but never comes back on [02:28] ascheel: returning error [02:28] elik: does closing it put the system to sleep or hibernation? [02:28] Gnea: no [02:28] elik: why not? [02:29] needlez: sent you a PM [02:29] Gnea: because I don't want it to, and the option is set not to [02:29] elik: so it should basically just blank the screen, and unblank upon opening, right? [02:29] Gnea: it is interesting to note that if I do ask it to sleep on lid close, the screen comes back on correctly [02:29] Gnea: indeed [02:29] Gnea: I love how you put basically there :) [02:30] elik: quite interesting, indeed. what make/model is the laptop?

[02:33] Gnea: that's pretty much what I explored so far... [02:33] As of today, for some reason GRUB isn't seeing my Windows 7 install, which was working fine for weeks before. I ran update-grub2 and it didn't spot it either. Did some update like a new kernel or something break it? [02:33] elik: yeah, the discussion with Colin.. [02:33] Gnea: yup [02:33] Gnea: found an interesting quirck, the ForceEnablePipeA thing... but seems like it doesn't work anymore [02:33] I'm trying to install a package (kgb-bot) but I'm doing so on a server that's a few years old. I get "couldn't find package kgb-bot". how do I get at the package? [02:34] my my belkin adapter i got from tigerdirect.com isnt working correctly [02:34] Gnea: other than that, I'm not exactly sure who asks who to do what in terms of power management [02:34] Gnea: I had suspend issues with this laptop before (debian). Now suspending works, but I got that :) [02:35] hello everyone [02:35] how do I set the 'nomodeset' boot flag as a parameter with command-line livecd? [02:35] I also am wondering whether it would be better to install Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a netbook that can handle 64-bit architecture or if I should use Ubuntu Desktop 64-bit. [02:35] I tried to boot my Ubunt 10.1 machine today; wouldn't boot until I tried the last kernel version of linux [02:35] I don't know what this means - as far as repairing my distro goes [02:35] elik: did you ever read Colin's latest message? [02:36] during the install process for 10.10 on my aspire one d250, the internet worked fine via wireless wpa2. now that it is installed, it attempts to connect and then prompts me for a key again - it will not connect.

It pointed to a few issues on the bug tracker, none of which pointed in that direction [02:37] How i open up a root.disk ?

[02:38] Gnea: yeah, there must be a small delay. I just answered that. I had looked up that error message before, but seemed quite frequent and unrelated to the issue at hand [02:39] ghost_, do you still have the live CD? [02:39] elik: from an ubuntu-standpoint, it sounds like you're on the right path... it sounds to me like there is a communications issue between the thinkpad hardware and the operating system, still. It may be prudent to see if anyone else has encountered or solved this issue with another distribution (fedora?) [02:39] wedwo not with me. [02:39] wedwo- i reinstalled the wubi into windows [02:39] !laptop [02:39] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [02:40] wedwo- but i have a backup of the root.disk [02:40] how can I change the type of a file on Ubuntu? [02:40] Chilaquiles: for what purpose? [02:40] Gnea: there is the thinkwiki. They have ACPI scripts and all... but I'd need to identify the cause before finding a solution. Plus, the keywords are so generic, it's hard to pinpoit anything useful [02:41] ghost_, if you get the opportunity you can fire up the liveCD and get to your windows files that way.

[03:04] elik: it must have a specific register then... have you been able to locate and install the toshiba-acpi specific utilities? [03:04] KM0201: no [03:04] .. [03:04] KM0201: breath... [03:05] Gnea: toshiba? or thinkpad? [03:05] lol [03:05] elik: oh man... thinkpad, if there are any [03:05] is there a way to download all pictures from an ftp site using command line? [03:05] bonhoffer: yes. [03:05] bonhoffer: mget *.EXT [03:05] Gnea: will search on next reboot, but there are no 3rd party drivers [03:05] rvn: thanks [03:05] bonhoffer: np [03:05] Gnea: don't remember seeing any thinkpad related stuff, and if there is any, I think I already have it [03:06] ok i plugged it back in but im right next to the router [03:06] jPuff: idon't understand what you mean you're right next to the router?.. thats irrelevant at this point, are you seeing networks. [03:06] elik: honestly, I'm booted into xp right now. trying to fix a wifi issue on my end but don't have the time right now because I'm unpacking into my new apartment lol [03:07] im connected both by a cable and by the wireless adapter [03:07] * _derx [03:07] jPuff: ... have you tried disconnecting the cable, and then connecting to wireless? [03:07] anyone know if windows is necessary to program in C# for the first time? I've read about the mono project but apparently it's missing features [03:07] jPuff: most of the time, ubuntu defaults to the wired connection [03:07] does anyone know how i can tell ack-grep to ignore a particular file by name, even though that file has an extension that i generally want to look at? [03:07] KM0201: im connected by both the belkin and the cable [03:08] Gnea: it's cool, it's cool [03:08] jPuff: thats quite an amazing feat,are you wanting to be connected by both, or just one [03:08] Gnea: just looked it up. Doesn't seem to be anything relating to screen control or anything. All I can see is stuff that relates to battery [03:08] just the wireless [03:08] <_derx> is this thing on? [03:08] hi , I trying to learn how glibc works and I modify random bits and recompiling it - I seem to be getting an unmodified version everytime which is strange [03:08] i was trying to find the range of the belkin i dontknow why it would be less [03:08] jPuff: then disconnect the wired connect, and try to connect to your wireless [03:09] jPuff: i dunno, i use mine all over the house, no problems [03:09] I am patching the code and then I modify it - and then compiling it -- but I seem to get unmodified version - any suggestions ? [03:09] there are updates running [03:09] powe: how are you testing it - are you sure you're testing the newly compiled copy? [03:09] elik: might be worth pursuing, could be some undocumented features [03:09] jPuff: ok, then i would wait [03:09] hi guys. I'm trying to help someone with a windows network, who's experiencing periodic lock-up. they might be working, or simply open large files over the local LAN & their system would simply lock up (they describe it as "going off to la-la-land"). I've rebuild their Ubuntu server, running *only* SSH, Samba & Webmin, and *nothing* else. load it pretty good, so now I'm trying to find other possible causes or remedies (I've set aio r&w [03:09] rvn: well I make install it - so I assume it is installed [03:09] can anyone explain to me what the difference is between ubuntu and xubuntu ? [03:10] powe: should be - i'd investigate that though, sounds like the point of failure to me. [03:10] Gnea: well, on that previous post, I found something in the intel card video state [03:10] woodyjlw: xubuntu runs xfce, instead of gnome(which ubuntu runs) [03:10] powe: try testing the file in the end compile directory vs the one in the system [03:10] powe: verify that they're the same [03:11] KM0201, xfce is just different desktop environment like kde or something then? [03:11] hey guys, what is a good app for showing stuff (like widgets) on the desktop? [03:11] woodyjlw: Different desktop environments, Gnome vs xfce [03:11] woodyjlw: yes, it's a big easier on the resources [03:11] *bit [03:11] bencahill: gdesklets [03:11] woodyjlw: how much ram do you have? [03:12] KM0201, 1 gig [03:12] Hello. I've used grub-mkconfig to generate a /boot/grub/menu.lst, but on boot grub ignores this file [03:12] xangua: could I configure that to show under the gnome top panel (transparent) ? [03:12] woodyjlw: honestly, 1gig.. i would just run the regular gnome... === adamkex_ is now known as adamkex [03:13] rvn: they are the same :x I check /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 vs /build-tree/i386-i686/libc.so [03:13] KM0201, thanks. maybe I will try it in vbox and see if I like the interface [03:13] powe: then there's a problem in the compile process apparently, because your changes aren't propogating - that or they didn't make a functional difference. [03:13] woodyjlw: thats always a good thing to do also... if your'e looking for "light"(which is really what xfce is for)... i'd also give Lubuntu a try === DrunkMonkeyStyle is now known as HangoverMaurice === HangoverMaurice is now known as HangoverMauriceJ [03:14] KM0201, wow how many other ubuntu distros are there? [03:14] woodyjlw: ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, and a few "unofficial" ports... [03:14] zbcjt hLguu === jodo is now known as jPuff [03:15] woodyjlw, if you count unofficial ones, it is uncountable. [03:15] lol [03:15] sorry that was a mistype confused dvorak with qwerty [03:15] rvn: strange, I delete many lines (which shouldn't create an error), it compiles fine - and I don't think there is a compiler optimization going on .. really weird [03:15] smw: lol [03:15] woodyjlw, KM0201 forgot edubuntu! [03:15] smw: indeed i did...! [03:15] I will stick with official ones for now [03:15] I'm running xubuntu on my netbook but I wish I used lubuntu [03:15] !info gdesklets-data [03:16] Package gdesklets-data does not exist in maverick [03:16] !info gdesklets [03:16] it's still lagging a little bit [03:16] gdesklets (source: gdesklets): Architecture for desktop applets. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.36.1-4 (maverick), package size 2802 kB, installed size 5776 kB [03:16] hooray its working :D [03:16] powe: i'm afraid my capacity to help you ends here, as I don't like C/C++ and thus have never completed learning it - hope i helped, though. :) [03:16] woodyjlw, KM0201, and is gnewsense "official" [03:16] woodyjlw: there's a few distros out there that think they can do ubuntu, better than canonical... [03:16] smw: i have no idea on gnewsense [03:16] rvn: no problem, thanks [03:16] Has the "speed-up" script that was added a while back been implemented into ubuntu yet? [03:16] how do i expand my repositories? [03:17] jPuff: u mean add more? [03:17] !repo [03:17] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [03:17] jPuff: there's a GUI method of doing it, but personally i do "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list" and add them that way [03:18] KM0201, well ubuntu is very addictive and since I first tried 7.04 I cant seem to put it down and every time I think ubuntu cant get better a new one comes out and I have to try it out [03:18] is there a way to tell ubuntu to remember my password for my keyring? i don't need my passwords protected from myself [03:19] woodyjlw: yeah... i like Ubuntu... i've moved on from it, but if you're trying to 'learn' linux, or you just want one you don't really have to mess w/.. you're on the right track [03:19] Could someone possibly give me some guidance with compiling a program using apache ant...I believe something is awry with my build.xml but I am pretty much lost... [03:19] KM0201: i learned with SuSE (long before ubuntu existed) myself, but i'd think linux mint is a bit easier to nubs than ubuntu itself [03:19] KM0201: depending on whether you're using it as your daily system [03:19] woodyjlw, that is how I feel about ubuntu. And I have used many of them over a decade :-). [03:20] KM0201: while learning [03:20] rvn: i'm not a huge fan of Mint, but i really fail to see hiow it's any easier than Ubuntu... it's more or less the same thing, just a different GUI. [03:21] purpzey: talk to me in private and I might be able to help you [03:21] ubuntu has more help online [03:21] KM0201: no it includes a multitude of applications and packages for various tasks, including non-free, to make the transition a bit easier from windows to linux for daily use without knowing how to rectify things yourself [03:21] didn't linux mint spun off ubuntu? [03:21] KM0201, yes I am still learning linux and got much to learn still and ubuntu has made it easy for people who dont know linux or are scared of it to experience linux with out sink or swim and I have come to learn that ubuntu is just the tip of the ice berg for how powerfull and fun the linux world can be [03:21] how do I check my kernel version? === squishy is now known as SquishyNotHere [03:21] KM0201: ex. official ATI/NVIDIA drivers and flash are at your fingertips, etc. [03:21] acoustyk_, uname -r [03:22] rvn: i dunno, flash takes 30sec to install on ubuntu, and Nvidia drivers... i just use the restricted driver, and its no problem. [03:22] KM0201: if you're technical already it's not a big difference, but if you're a total noob, it can help [03:22] KM0201: someone like me, and from what i understand you, wouldnt take much effort to adjust [03:22] KM0201: but someone who can barely install crap on windows might find it much easier [03:22] rvn: right [03:22] lol [03:22] How can i get the install software store into a exe file so i can use it next time on other new install ubuntu. [03:23] what...?-----^ [03:23] ghost_, never mind the exe [03:23] deb or [03:23] rollman: yes it did... for the longest time, it even used ubuntu kernels, software repositories, etc.. but that has since changed.. and they do their own thing.. but it's still heavily based on ubuntu [03:23] ghost_: ok wait, so you mean a list of the currently installed software? [03:23] ghost_, it comes with the software store [03:23] yes [03:23] ghost_, or you want a clone [03:23] I know but i don't wannt to redownload [03:23] them [03:23] thought so [03:23] !aptoncd | ghost_ [03:23] ghost_: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [03:24] ghost_, use aptoncd [03:24] Would that create a iso ? [03:24] KM0201: for the record, after hooking up wired ethernet and doing a software update it fixed my wifi connecting problem - just in case you run into that with someone else [03:24] KM0201: im out of here now, bai [03:24] So i can mount and install via by mounting into ubuntu? [03:24] ghost_, no, is that what you want? [03:25] ghost_, no, it creates a repository [03:25] ghost_, a kind of installable iso? [03:25] is there a way to manually upgrade the kernel to 2.6.38? [03:25] ghost_, aptoncd is handy because its a cd that serves as a repo to install from [03:25] acoustyk_: find a ppa, or compile [03:25] Nice . This comes very handy :) [03:25] hey guys, I'm trying to install gdesklets, but there is no gdesklets-data package. :-? [03:25] thanks [03:25] acoustyk_, of course, but expect breakage,and no support here [03:26] only linux i would recommend to anyone is ubuntu, SuSe, and if redhat wasn't a mostly pay linux box i would suggest redhat but not anymore [03:26] rollman: fedora? [03:26] KM0201, I thought ubuntu gnome was already a light weight os without all the bells and whistles of kde. had no idea it gets any simpler than this but I guess if your running older hardware it comes in handy to use less resources [03:26] I got a new vidiya card, with HDMI output and now ubuntu loads both, Nvidia sound card + onboard one and neither of them work. Is there a way to disable Nvidia's sound card? [03:27] woodyjlw: yup... andif you're on something really ancient, google "crunchbang linux"... :) [03:27] what package is for the en language - I have locale issues, what would I reinstall? [03:27] jo [03:27] en-language-* or something [03:27] KM0201, ok lol [03:27] KM0201, no need for that, lxde and openbox are in the repos, he can install lubuntu-desktop [03:27] fedora i heard alot about it but not for me [03:28] KM0201, which is supported here, while crunchbang is NOT [03:28] acoustyk_: http://geekfiles.altervista.org/en/arrivano-i-pacchetti-deb-del-kernel-2-6-36-con-la-%E2%80%9Cpatch-miracolosa%E2%80%9D-per-ubuntu-maverick-a-32-bit/ [03:28] bazhang: i've never had any luck installing openbox 'beside' gnome or ubuntu. [03:28] KM0201, lubuntu-desktop takes care of that [03:28] Gryllida: check-language-support -l en --show-installed; will show you [03:28] if u wanna something light try linux puppy... or u're techgeek, try tinycorelinux [03:28] i wish there was an official openbox spin of ubuntu... [03:28] mamasboy, off topic here [03:28] bazhang: i think openbox is lighter than lxde.. === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [03:29] Love the add-ons on software center [03:29] KM0201, they are together, not in competition [03:29] watever [03:29] bazhang: dunno.. openbox has always seemed faster to me. [03:29] lxde + openbox [03:29] KM0201, bazhang, lxml contains openbox [03:29] lxde* [03:29] Hi there. I have set up a apt repository for some packages I am working on. I have the repository listed in my sources.list but when I try to apt-get update I see "Failed to fetch ... binary-amd64/Packages.bz2" [03:29] lol [03:29] mamasboy, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat [03:29] there is no Packages.bz2, but there is a Packages.gz [03:29] If I use mail (I think its mailutils) to send an email, how do i reply to it (send email to an @gmail address, get it, reply, but I get no reply in ubuntu) [03:29] cool [03:30] any idea where I can tell apt to look for Packages.gz instead? [03:30] ice799, apt-mirror? [03:30] hello peeps [03:30] bazhang: what? [03:31] !info apt-mirror | ice799 [03:31] ice799: apt-mirror (source: apt-mirror): APT sources mirroring tool.

I need to tell apt to ask the repository for Packages.gz instead. [03:31] Chrystopher, ask here [03:32] i dont have an old install [03:32] Chrystopher: ask in the channel, more eyes == more likely to get an answer [03:32] bazhang: its just a repository with 2 custom packages I am workign on [03:32] ice799, put it in a PPA then [03:32] I'd like to try the "miracle code" [03:32] i can't install 10.10 on my netbook [03:32] so I wanna try 10.4 [03:32] !ppa | ice799 [03:32] ice799: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[03:33] bazhang: nah I don't need that either. [03:33] yeah, apparently it's a specific problem to do with the lenovo 10-3 [03:33] i dont know [03:33] why? [03:33] is there a fix for the headphones jack not working? I found a few threads in the forums but either it didn't help or i got lost... [03:33] I need to figure out why at thinks there is a Packages.bz2 when there isn't. [03:33] Noob_, in terminal type ifconfig [03:33] what is a good program for taking pictures of a window on the desktop? [03:33] Even the Release file in the repository says "Packages.gz" [03:33] to test it i have to reboot to ubuntu then try it and if it doesnt work i have to reboot all the way back lol [03:33] Noob_: because you may have a connection, but DNS failing. pinging a known good IP on the web will show if this is the case [03:33] what do i do after ifconfig [03:33] psusi it's unable to create a partition table, specifically. The disk utility says it does not support Smart data.. which I know is not true [03:34] apparently it is possible but I've tried for days and couldnt get it to work [03:34] Noob_, wired or wireless [03:34] psusi I'm think I may have messed up its factory formatting or something :O [03:34] either one [03:34] i have the option to both [03:34] Noob_: youcan't get wired or wireless? [03:34] tried out opensuse but my wifi card isn't supported either [03:34] i have wireless and wired [03:34] but i cant connect to either [03:35] Noob_: if you run: sudo lshw -C network; lsusb; lspci copy the text to a removable device make a pastebin in a web enabled system to give us here [03:35] Noob_: ugh... that'll be fun. [03:35] smw: Take Screenshot in the Accessories menu [03:35] Gnea: I installed debuging tools for intel (xserver-something-intel-dbg), and dumped the register.

Is it possible? Any other desktops at home? etc. [03:38] Noob_: well, what kind of pc it is, is irrelevant... when it's available.. come here on it... and then boot ubuntu on your laptop and we can help you trouble shoot it.

I solved it by running a network cable to the laptop from my router and getting updates. wireless drivers came then [04:01] that was what i was typeing [04:01] bazhang: not gonna work, his ethernet device doesn't work w/ ubuntu... it's rpetty well discussed n several forum pages... [04:01] but yea that will work [04:01] update [04:01] sparrow_, please stop with the random commentary.

[04:13] !grub | jook [04:13] jook: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [04:13] Looking at my gnome-system monitor, I see constant upstream network activity on my computer. How can I find out what is requesting data/ where I'm sending data? [04:13] grub2 actually [04:13] bazhang: I mean, he realized it himself, not that I want to add on top of the other [04:13] !grub2 [04:13] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:14] thanks KM0201, bazhang. I'll check there.

[04:14] draven_sol_: elaborate [04:14] no KM0201, it's been solid dual-booting for a long time. Just decided to die after updates. [04:14] myradlife_: you can also experiment with wireshark to dump the network traffic and examine it [04:14] jook: hmm, not really sure what woul cause that [04:15] I [04:15] ejv tools/scripts to find and give an option to remove mp3 files which are duplicates of themselves in other directories [04:15] I have a lucid disk here. I'll try using that. Should be fine, even though I have Maverick installed, right? [04:15] jook: sure [04:15] ok i put it on the flash drive [04:15] getting it on the shitty imac [04:16] Aginor, I have a apache and ssh servers running, and I have ~100kB/s constant upstream [04:16] ejv, nevermind i just found that elaborate is the tool name [04:16] noob_: we can live w/o your colorful adjectives [04:16] noob_, watch the language [04:16] oh yea i keep forgetting [04:16] i keep thinking this is 4chan [04:16] LOL [04:16] just kidding guys [04:16] draven_sol_: nice! in the future always ask your questions like someone asked you to clarify ;) [04:16] myradlife_: so it might be people downloading things from your web server :) [04:16] noob_: if it was 4chan, you'd already be banned for being dense... so that should remind you [04:16] myradlife_: netstat -l will list all of your active network connections [04:16] draven_sol_: saves everyone time, and gets you help quicker. being super specific isn't a crime here :) [04:17] noob_: the more you type worthless stuff in the channel, the longer it will take to get you fixed [04:17] !grub2 [04:17] noob_: and the more people will get tired of helping you, so it's sort of exponential [04:17] !grub2 | jook [04:17] jook, please see my private message [04:17] Aginor: rather -e (established) than -l (listen) also iftop [04:18] jook: "/msg ubottu grub2" and it will PM the output to you. [04:18] shcherbak: you're completely right [04:18] myradlife_: rather netstat -tuep (established) than -tulp (listen) also iftop [04:18] yeah, I got that after it worked. Thanks though, KM0201 I will try next time [04:18] myradlife_: do netstat -e, like shcherbak says [04:18] myradlife_: and ngrep... [04:20] bazhang #ubuntu-server was the channel I was looking for I guess ;) [04:20] trying some stuff out [04:21] Umbongo! [04:21] I tried to boot my Ubuntu 10.10 machine today; wouldn't boot until I booted using the previous kernel version (grub menu option to use previous kernel) of linux [04:21] Hey all! Is there any benefit to installing (recompiling kernel? Not sure of the exact method) the most recent Nvidia driver as opposed to what is in the repos? [04:21] Should I just keep booting using the previous kernel? [04:21] it works okay - as far as I can tell [04:21] schwinn434, what's the command for that? Looks like the problem I'm having too, and it might help [04:22] !info nvidia-current [04:22] nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library.

I can't remember the process I had to go through--but I complained enough that it got into another channel and to the developer. [04:22] KM0201, no. Just that command prompt. I don't know what to do with it.

It's the video chipset, not the processor, that was the problem. Not sure of the specifics--you can check the logs [04:23] jook: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html [04:24] wow, that link didnt work at all.

[04:58] thank you :D [04:58] qazeqaz, tar files are not like exe or other programs on windows.. tar file is analogous to a zip file.. sometimes they hold executable files and sometimes 9more often then not) they hold the source code and requires the program to be compiled [04:58] dotblank, Okay, I got it to work. It looks like I needed to install pango, or aspell, or both. Either way, thank you [04:59] qazeqaz, It is strongly recommended that you use programs in the repos first and other programs only if you must [04:59] Leif, you didn't have pango installed??? yikes [04:59] jook: it is umount, not unount [04:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/555655/ [04:59] there it is guys [05:00] rusty149, I didn't spell it wrong in the terminal window [05:00] repos? im extremely new to this ive been using ubuntu 10.10 for 2 days now and my greatest achivement (lmao) is pianobar :D haha [05:00] dotblank, Joy, what does pango do?

[05:01] why does brasero announce a successful burn then continue to create another image checksum for another 40 minutes? [05:01] ahh I see [05:01] Leif, a lot it used as a rendering toolkit used by gtk methinks [05:01] noob_: give me a minute [05:01] qazeqaz, repos (repositories) or big store-houses (servers) on the internet that hold programs that are all open source and safe to use in one place. [05:01] and alot others [05:01] noob_: oh ya.. what version? [05:01] looking for some help getting WUSB600Nv2 to work on my x64 10.04 [05:01] jook: That isn't the best way to recover/reinstall GRUB2 [05:01] what version of what [05:01] MTecknology, he also has a broadcom device [05:01] ubuntu [05:01] dotblank, I inadvertantly purged java from my system a few weeks back, it removed some prety core libraries, I've been suffering ever since. (But have been learning quite a bit in the meantime, which is why I haven't just reinstalled) [05:01] 10.04 [05:01] dotblank, Anyway, thank you [05:01] qazeqaz, It allows you to keep the entire system, every app, up to date using just the update manager (provided you only install stuff from the repos) there are 20,000 packages in the repos [05:02] rusty149, if you have a better idea, I'm open to it. My grub jsut freaked out when i installed updates, and now it doesnt load my OS list when I boot. I jsut get a grub> terminal === james is now known as Guest99330 [05:02] so how come a lot more applications are not in the repo? [05:02] Leif, well you could alsways check to make sure you ahve the ubuntu-desktop metapackage installed [05:02] noob_: can you check the restricted driver manager; I think it's somewhere around System -> Administration -> Restricted Drivers [05:02] qazeqaz, ? There are a ton of them in there [05:02] Leif, if that package is gone then you removed a core component of ubuntu [05:03] i only see hardware drivers [05:03] dotblank, Mmm...good idea [05:03] no restricted [05:03] I know there are a lot in there just some games and stuff ive been looking at isnt there [05:03] noob_: yup- that's it [05:03] noob_: check it and see if it suggests any drivers [05:03] dotblank, Yup, it's gone, but at least it will only take me 25 MB to download it all, so I must have most of it back, thank you. :) [05:03] says downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be avilable [05:04] lol... there's that [05:04] dotblank, And now it's downloaded. :) [05:04] noob_: what kind of system? [05:04] qazeqaz, not everything is in there. As to why, probably because A it isn't open source or B the developers didn't submit it [05:04] you mean what kind of laptop? Acer [05:04] noob_: more details? [05:04] How do I make my text a different color in this and how did you guys learn so much about linux?! [05:05] qazeqaz, Some developers don't care if it's in the Ubuntu or Debian repos I guess [05:05] aspire timelinex 4820T [05:05] ActionParsnip: no joy ... microphone does not work...with the sound recorder, i just get open circuit noise on playback... suggestions? [05:05] aight [05:05] qazeqaz, I learned from using and reading and messing with stuff [05:05] qazeqaz: years of reading and playing. === Newa2 is now known as NewaWrk [05:05] 4820T-7633 [05:05] noob_: give me a few minutes to do some learning [05:05] alright [05:05] noob_, have you tried ifconfig -a [05:05] jook: Best to do a reboot of LiveCD first, don't need to use chroot. 1. Mount Linux as decribed, e.g sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt 2. sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda 3. sudo umount /mnt && sudo reboot [05:05] nope [05:05] noob_, How are you psating your outputs [05:05] qazeqaz, It's probably just some setting in your irc client. settings -> preferences -> colors if you're using xchat like I am [05:05] nice, hope I can pick up on it fast, is SUSE linux a lot different then ubuntu?? [05:06] rusty149, my linux partition is sdc2. How does that affect the commands? [05:06] qazeqaz, also if you start your sentences with my name (like I'm doing for you) it will color it for me [05:06] psating my outputs?? [05:06] i have a dell d620. after a fresh reinstall of 10.04, my screen will not come back on if i close the lid. ctrl-alt-f1 does nothing [05:06] pasting* [05:06] anyone have an idea where i can start ? [05:06] qazeqaz, It's different in some ways but similar in others. [05:06] yea im in xchat but i cant make my color yellow, i can just change everybody elses txt color [05:06] i put it in the openoffice, copy it to flash drive, load it on to shitty imac [05:06] dotblank: it's a driver issue; I'm gonne need to do some looking around for him [05:06] dang forgot about language again [05:06] Craigwell, it is possible going to sleep [05:06] qazeqaz, It's much different than say slackware or arch or gentoo [05:06] !language | noob_ [05:06] noob_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[05:07] qazeqaz, start the message with my name. [05:07] rusty149, I can just enter those directly from a terminal in live CD, or do I still do the other steps first? [05:07] MTecknology: what bazhang said [05:07] power management only set to blank screen [05:07] Craigwell, odd.. have you tried using alt+printscrn+k [05:08] im sorry!!!

I added all the right stuff in /etc/acpi/events and the corresponding shell scripts in /etc/acpi but i can't get acpid to recognize them.. Nada... using 10.10 and there's no /var/log/acpid.. any ideas for troubleshooting? [05:16] minecraft is awesome [05:16] im trying to add photos to my ipod touch without much success [05:16] anyone know how to uninstall opensuse without messing up my windows boot [05:16] noob_: can you do 'sudo modprobe atl1e' ? [05:16] dotblank: it just listened on a port, and sent all the packets to another ip - a simple program, but I can't remember the name and it's frustrating me [05:16] id like to be able to either add them with f-spot or use the ipods web browser directly [05:17] synackfin, you could do it with netcat or nc [05:17] synackfin, or some fancy bash scripting [05:17] in trying to get Flash to work with FF 4 I seemed to have screwed something up badly ... trying to install flashplugin-installer I get this message: Errors were encountered while processing: [05:17] /var/cache/apt/archives/flashplugin-installer_10.1.102.65ubuntu0.10.10.1_amd64.deb [05:17] chaospsychex, MINECRAFT is amazing hahaha [05:17] it seems like all f-spot can do is import them [05:17] dotblank: yeah but this program had already packaged that, it read a config file, and listened on those ports (netcat requires a separate instance running on each port) [05:17] and then : E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:18] Does Ubuntu support the Linksys WMP54G out of the box?

[05:21] Pharanac, I wish [05:21] Pharanac, It is not yet possible [05:21] me too, always looking for it [05:22] why do they block linux? [05:22] Pharanac: not currently possible [05:22] netflix i mean [05:22] qazeqaz: They use DRM stuff that isn't supported by Linux. [05:22] Pharanac: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1510543 [05:22] qazeqaz, They're not blocking it. They're just not taking the time to develop for it [05:22] qazeqaz, its because of the windows play ready DRM and mono [05:22] qazeqaz, its not blocking - its just lack of supporting [05:22] s/mono/silverlight/ [05:22] Remember meeeeeee? [05:22] so so lame............... well night all! [05:22] ActionParsnip: cant seem to get that to work at all [05:23] NickyT: well there are miilions of ubuntu users and he channel is pretty much continually busy, so very doubtful unless you visit a lot [05:23] Pharanac: I actually have a bluray player and that's about it's only purpose [05:23] I ahve one on my desk [05:24] never used the blueray player though [05:24] i need an ubuntu runnable mp3 player that can be set to repeatedly play a file [05:24] vdubbugman53: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZLEZRgWIOc just use the driver for your adapter [05:24] jPuff: mplayer does that by default [05:24] nm the default had an option for repeat :D [05:24] I guess noob_ isn't coming back... Sucks because I found an ugly solution to his problem. [05:24] it wasnt set to repeat by default ActionParsnip [05:25] I got MAC banned from wifi in my area [05:25] ActionParsnip, are you an ubuntu member? [05:25] what's the easiest way to mac change in ububtu? [05:25] what's going on here?: adobe-flashplugin conflicts with flashplugin-installer [05:25] dotblank: indeed I am [05:25] ActionParsnip: 'most' ubuntu members on irc have an ubuntu/member hostmask so you can see by /whois [05:26] zetheroo: remove both so you have no flash plugins then install flashplugin-nonfree [05:26] so no ipod touch on linux advice in here, any ideas of another channel with more options? [05:26] ActionParsnip: I have already tried that [05:26] ActionParsnip: I cannot locate any "adobe-flashplugin" [05:26] ActionParsnip, I would like to apply for one soon. Did you get it based off your IRC contributions? [05:27] i have ubuntu 10.10 how can i install a printer lexmark x2695???? [05:27] zetheroo: i believe thats the package when you go to the adobe site and grab the deb there, all you need is flashplugin-nonfree and it will work (or you can manually install or use the 64bit PPA if you use 64bit OS) [05:27] NOBLE: is it plugged in and turned on? [05:27] NOBLE, did you try using the printers utility? [05:27] dotblank: and my huge input on the launchpad answers [05:28] yes but it dosent work [05:28] Anyone know of a Wii emulator for ubuntu? [05:28] ActionParsnip: I downloaded the 32bit package and forced the install ... and now it's all screwed [05:28] dotblank: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+topcontributors check my karma ;) [05:28] ActionParsnip: I am running 64bit Ubuntu ... and forcing the install has worked in the past for me :P [05:29] zetheroo: you shouldn't force packages dude [05:29] ActionParsnip: yeah I suppose [05:29] ActionParsnip, dang... [05:29] zetheroo: theres a 64bit PPA [05:29] ActionParsnip: where? ... I have been searching for one [05:29] ActionParsnip: I remember way back when I was in that list :P [05:29] ActionParsnip, now I feel like I havn't done nearly enough to apply [05:29] Do you guys know anything about macchanger in Ubuntu? [05:29] y download the driver from lexmark page and it say its obsolete [05:30] zetheroo: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/install-64bit-flash-from-a-ppa-or-deb/ [05:30] NOBLE: if it makes the printer work, who cares [05:30] but the problem is it dosen work thats the problem [05:30] Does anyone know about mac changing? [05:31] hi, someone can tell me the last packages added to ubuntu 10.10 to update? [05:31] because is obsolete [05:31] What is the meaning of this line in my /var/log/auth.log ? Jan 18 15:37:20 SlackServer sshd[23116]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for pcp022204pcs.dhcp.calpoly.edu [129.65.132.216] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT! [05:31] NOBLE, have you tried checking the open printing database for your printer [05:31] MTecknology: i'd be #1 but martinP contributes a lot to a space program (if i remember right) and he gets karma from that. He even admits it feels like cheating :D [05:31] Airglow, Can you re-phrase that? [05:31] NOBLE: you're missing the point [05:31] ok edbian , let me do it better [05:31] myradlife_: it means that it could not confirm that the forward and reverse dns matched. [05:32] ActionParsnip: ok thanks ... I downloaded the .deb and tried to install it ... but probably due to something I messed up it won't install :( [05:32] myradlife_, Did you ssh into your machine from calpoly.edu ? [05:32] yes i open it and is not in the data base some one know if with an other drive can work? [05:32] edbian, yes I did [05:32] zetheroo: if your packages aren't square then you should fix that first [05:32] ActionParsnip: Yup, he even had a bug open about that once. [05:32] myradlife_, Then it's probably safe (and was just you) [05:32] MTecknology: HA, dude that's hilarious [05:33] ActionParsnip: is there a way to fix broken packages or whatever is messed up? [05:33] ActionParsnip: I tried looking around in Synaptic but could not locate any repairing feature [05:33] greppy, edbian I had a similar line, let me show you from TEXAS earlier today [05:33] zetheroo: can you give a pastebin of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install nano thanks [05:34] ActionParsnip: not only that- but they felt it was accurate and karma calculations were adjusted otherwise he'd be many miles ahead [05:34] ActionParsnip: there was something else he was doing that gave waaay too much to your karma [05:34] MTecknology: little bit, as long as folks enjoy the OS then I'm happy. Karma imho just helps with membership applications [05:34] myradlife_, forward DNS lookup means finding the IP address of a domain name, reverse DNS means looking up the domain name of an IP address. Sometimes people spoof (which means write some nonsense IP in the packet headers) so that they can try to log into your machine without you knowing where it really came from. This would result in a mis-matching forward / reverse dns [05:34] ActionParsnip: ok well that installed nano without a hitch [05:35] myradlife_, But since you have logged in from that domain I find it very unlikely someone is spoofing. That would mean they randomly choose an address (out of billions) that coincidentally you are actually using [05:35] http://pastebin.com/hv5QrHkD [05:35] ActionParsnip: did you still want a pastebin of that even though there were no issues? [05:35] zetheroo: if the 3 commands went flawlessly then the packages are ok. You should remove adobe-flashplugin and flashplugin-* so you have no flash then use the deb or ppa from the omgubuntu link [05:35] myradlife_, Oh, no [05:35] zetheroo: if all is well then the paste isn't necessary :) [05:36] myradlife_, Now that I see this file someone is definitely trying to guess user names and passwords for your ssh server. See the invalid user root stuff all over? [05:36] What archive format has the best time/compression ratio? [05:36] edbian, yes i do [05:36] myradlife_, yeah someone is trying to log in as root and guess the password [05:36] Hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu off of my usb, but everytime I try to advance past the second window it crashes telling me that the parted server is unresponsive or something :x [05:36] edbian, so this happened today around 5 a.m. [05:36] ActionParsnip: does it really even help with that; I think they're 'supposed to' look at what contributed to that karma more than the number (i think they do a pretty good job of that) I used to think it was fun when I had a whole lot; but now I contribute in other areas that don't add to karma much and it's less exciting to watch it chance [05:36] ActionParsnip: when trying to remove adobe-flashplugin I get : Virtual packages like 'adobe-flashplugin' can't be removed [05:37] I got on my computer at 8:00 p.m., and it had a ton of ssh connections open and the network traffic was huge on upload [05:37] myradlife_, eventually they will get the password. It might take them 75 years but they will get it. Also many other people will start attacking too. It's very annoying. They're called script kiddies because they know how to run this silly script that brute forces ssh servers but they don't know much of anything else presumably [05:37] myradlife_, Did someone actually get it? That's really bad [05:37] Ive never really cared about karma.. I did get some for uploading packages to my ppa and filing a bug.. thats about it [05:38] myradlife_, According to the file the root account is locked on ssh so they didn't log in as root. [05:38] edbian, I'm trying to find out, I think this might tell you something http://pastebin.com/cjkwivJv [05:39] myradlife_, well, that looks like a tcp dump? I'm not familiar enough with it but it def seems that root is establishing a connection. [05:39] hello [05:39] myradlife_, However if they actually logged in as root (or at all) over ssh you'd see it in /var/log/auth.log and it's not in there from what I can see [05:39] i installed 11.04 daily beta from usb disk, but my grub was gone [05:40] !natty | hsa2 [05:40] hsa2: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [05:40] edbian, i'm looking through my auth.log to see if they in fact did that, is there an easy way to search this? [05:40] oops, sorry [05:40] ActionParsnip: when trying to install flash from the PPA http://pastebin.com/MDrRspJb [05:40] hi, can anyone tell me the last name of packages added to ubuntu 10.10 to update the security updates? [05:41] zetheroo: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer [05:41] myradlife_, cat /var/log/auth.log | grep Accepted [05:42] myradlife_, That command will show all the lines from the log file that contain the word 'Accepted' which the ssh daemon prints when someone logs in successfully === eXistZ is now known as RobBeane [05:42] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/3rPwYLzs [05:42] ActionParsnip: I didn't know it was this easy to screw a Linux system up :P [05:42] am not able to set custom fonts on qt apps using qt4-config ...apparantly this is not working when the GUI in qt4-config is set to GTK+ [05:42] is it a bug ? [05:43] zetheroo: ok can you give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash Thanks [05:44] http://pastebin.com/GjLpifZt === Guest92223 is now known as RaNdY [05:44] ActionParsnip: ^ === RaNdY is now known as Guest61786 [05:44] zetheroo: sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin; sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer === RobBeane is now known as eXistZ [05:44] myradlife_, how's it going? [05:44] edbian, so here's something that's complicating my search: I have two computers that I have cronjobs to rsync into this server. One is at calpoly.edu and one is my laptop that's usually on the same LAN. I have them set (stupidly) to login every minute. [05:45] edbian can you tell me which are the last packages of security updates added to ubuntu 10.10 ? [05:45] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/yEfzgkcQ [05:45] ActionParsnip: Virtual packages like 'adobe-flashplugin' can't be removed ??? huh? [05:45] hey, I think ssh is using the proxy-server I've set up in ubuntu. Is there a way for me to tell it to not use a proxy, without messing up the proxy config I've got for all my other apps? [05:46] edbian, I'm not sure what to do, because I have a ton of accepted logins from an IP that seems to be the calpoly.edu ip, but how do i know if that's my campus computer logging in for rsync or an attack? [05:46] Airglow: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2011-January/thread.html [05:46] ok guys im stuck.. i was told the other day the wl driver im using might be my wifi problem... im trying to find otu on the other hand how im supposed to get my wifi working on this del mini.. is this just not an option?? [05:46] Airglow: so... libdbus-1-3 [05:46] i had to install the current setup via ubuntu walkthroughs and my usb drive cuz it was installed on a work network .. now that im home should i do something different? [05:47] Airglow, just run sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade and you'll be up to date my friend [05:47] zetheroo: weird, i'd just force install /var/cache/apt/archives/flashplugin64-installer_10.3.162.29-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines2_amd64.deb then [05:47] myradlife_, The user [05:47] zetheroo: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/flashplugin64-installer_10.3.162.29-0ubuntu0~sevenmachines2_amd64.deb [05:47] myradlife_, Do any of the Accepteds not have your username in them? [05:48] ActionParsnip: ok that worked [05:48] edbian, no they all have my username none say root [05:48] ActionParsnip: is there a way to "test" it? [05:48] myradlife_, then you're good my friend. Nobody has logged in. [05:48] zetheroo: close all browsers and then visit a page like http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 [05:49] myradlife_, Might want to turn them off for a bit to be extra sure though. However it is clear that someone (unsuccessfully) is trying to log into your machine via ssh [05:49] myradlife_, Not a surprise, I have the same problem with my ssh server [05:49] ActionParsnip: hehe ... ok it's playing in Chromium but not in FF4 [05:49] hi guys , i just got a clevo X7200 and i installed ubuntu 10.04 and the sound doesnt work, i followed the howto on ubuntu support ended up installing the latest version of alsa still nothing. then i tried installing 10.10 just incase that would make it work nothing i cant think what else to do here ....any ideas ? its an HDA intel card but it does show 2 versions of it one with an nvida which i think is the HDMI sound out [05:50] vanc_, Have you tried using speaker-test [05:50] edbian, GOOD! Is there an explanation for why my computer was showing upstream network activity of ~100KB/s (constant) before I stopped SSH? [05:50] yes no sound comes out [05:50] myradlife_, I have no idea about that [05:50] vanc_, can you verify the device is not muted in alsa-mixer [05:51] edbian, as soon as i stopped SSH and then ended all my SSH processes, the network activity stopped [05:51] yes unmuted and tried to select both devices as out put [05:51] myradlife_, well perhaps it was just the ssh server responding to these log in requests [05:51] zetheroo: ok then run: mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins [05:52] ActionParsnip: shoot ... that was wierd ... I closed and reopened FF and now I am back at using FF3.6 :P [05:52] ActionParsnip: FF4 is gone - loll [05:52] edbian, okay. is there anything I should do to prevent this or add security? [05:52] zetheroo: then run: sudo find -iname "flashplugin.so" then copy the file to ~/.mozilla/plugins [05:53] myradlife_, thought you'd never ask! check this out: http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/ [05:53] zetheroo: should do it, i've not used firefox in many moons [05:53] ActionParsnip: ok thanks ... you a Opera user? [05:53] myradlife_, Also, you could but your ssh server on a different port (e.g. 23, or 2222) [05:53] vanc_, can you verify your speakers are plugged in (if you are on the desktop) [05:54] zetheroo: chromium-daily and arora [05:54] anyone know the valid URL to install CPSKins on a Ubuntu 10.10 box? [05:54] so can i uninstall the wl driver i put on here to get my wifi working and try updating ubuntu to see if there is another way to make my driver work??? [05:54] ActionParsnip: nice [05:54] when i sent my dmesg to someone the other day they said the wifi adapter im using is prob the cause of my random lock ups... not sure how ever what to do to fix this [05:55] edbian, instead of the default port? That makes sense, I guess, since the default is the port people will try guessing? [05:55] myradlife_, yeah [05:55] myradlife_, script kiddies.... [05:55] edbian, thank you much for the help! [05:55] myradlife_, no problem :) [05:56] dotblanc , yes all plugged in . sound works in windows [05:56] ActionParsnip: did that force install overide the previous adobe-flashplugin package? [05:56] anyone know the valid URL to install CPSKins on a Ubuntu 10.10 box? [05:56] ActionParsnip: is there still something broken in the system? [05:56] vanc_, just had to check.. does dmesg give any errors relating to snd-hda-intel [05:57] zetheroo: just means it ignores file conflicts and architectures, basically it copies the files from the package and runs the postinst as best it can [05:57] zetheroo: doubtful, try reinstalling nano. If it's ok then you are fine (I use nano as it's a small high level package) [05:58] ActionParsnip: ok thanks once again for your help ;) [05:59] anyone able to help me with my random lock up problems?? [06:00] dotblank , HDA intel 0000:04:00.1 PCI INT B -> GSI 37 (level, low) -> IRQ 3 and then on another line hda_intel:Disabled MSI for Nvidia chipset [06:01] vanc_, hmm [06:01] a security question: if anyone knows your sudo password, can remotely enter to a ubuntu system if that person knows your IP in that moment? [06:01] Airglow, only if you have ssh [06:01] <[thor]> Can anyone recommend a good program or walk-thru to detect or recalibrate a joystick? the software center is being less than giving tonight.

Any idea?

[08:50] q_a_z_steve, thats for flash player... [08:50] not what I ned [08:50] *need [08:50] blahsphemer: it should be in the line that starts with: linux [08:51] sam-_-, dr_Willis 'At least the display is working now. It says Ubuntu is working in low graphics mode. (EE) No devices detected/' [08:51] Zaca12 try -t auto ?

[08:51] christhecoolboy: its a player, not a creator [08:52] nope [08:52] I want a creator [08:52] not a player [08:52] blahsphemer: sounds good :-) [08:52] I have flash and it works fine [08:52] dr_Willis: thanks that worked, very clever :) now i have another harddrive that i need to mount but it hasn't been partitioned yet so it doesn't have a file system. how would i do that? also with fdisk? [08:52] I want something to make flash [08:52] e.g: games for kongregate [08:53] and now since the first harddrive has been mounted, can i check and make sure which file system it is because i need to actually replicate these drives exactly. I am trying to make a copy between the two [08:53] christhecoolboy: we dont have tools for that [08:53] Zaca12 mke2fs and commands of the like will NOT want it mounted imo [08:53] I thought ubuntu had everything? [08:53] christhecoolboy: clearly not [08:53] sam-_-, I now have another set of options. 'Use Generic Configuration' 'Create new config for this hardware' 'Use your backed up configuration' [08:53] q_a_z_steve: oh how do you mean? I have two 1.5TB drives and I need to make an exact copy of the one onto the other [08:54] just use dd [08:54] blahsphemer: don't know where you are right now. did you boot into recovery mode? [08:54] I was thinking about using 'dd' what would you say is the best method? [08:54] yes, do i need them to be mounted to use dd? [08:54] Zaca12, no [08:54] sam-_- Oh no, I didn't [08:54] sam-_- Just the generic kernel [08:54] blahsphemer: that's fine [08:55] You mount Filesystems. Not drives [08:55] sam-_- So should I create a new configuration for this harware [08:55] blahsphemer: and where do you see these options? is the x-server started? [08:55] ah, finally [08:55] sam-_- Yep. [08:55] in order to use dd, would i need to format the new file system? [08:55] blahsphemer: y. i would try the second one. [08:55] k [08:55] sam-_-: thanks for the tip earlier about the wifi, was able to get nm-applet installed and now everything's working again [08:55] Gnea: sure [08:56] sam-_- 'Error: Could not generate a new configuration' === Dotoff is now known as Dotted [08:56] Zaca12, no... dd copies bit-by-bit... [08:56] blahsphemer: sudo aticonfig --initial [08:56] well, except for ipv6, will have to do a bit of work on that [08:56] Zaca12, but don't forget to set a high enough bs(blocksize)... otherwise it will last forever ^^ [08:56] sam-_- so you want me to cancel this entire set of options and go to the console and do that? [08:57] rumpe1: how would i set the blocksize? [08:57] blahsphemer: y. better since i don't know what you are doing right now. [08:57] im currently doing something like this:dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/dev/sdb .. but haven't started it yet [08:58] sam-_-, 'Found fglrx primary device section.

[09:00] sam-_- But now I am on the console, purge fglrx from here and do something to set things back to the way they were, and then install fglrx the right way? [09:00] yes I've been prompted, and I did accept the connection [09:00] q_a_z_steve: [09:00] hmm. [09:00] blahsphemer: yes probably a good idea to start over.

[09:11] q_a_z_steve: but you just link it to dash again... why? [09:11] q_a_z_steve: shouldn't it be ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh [09:11] Silkjc that sounds odd. Maybe you'll have to strace ld [09:11] oops, was trying to go from memory. [09:12] Silkjc that will tell you where ld is looking for libstdc++ [09:12] q_a_z_steve: why do we have iirc ? [09:12] ksinkar If I remember Correctly == iirc [09:13] q_a_z_steve: i'm still curious what my last error was? [09:13] how do i delete a program that I installed from source if the 'make uninstall' command doesn't work? [09:13] I have an eepc with windows on first partition and i installed ubuntu on an usb stick, now I forgot to set the grub to be installed on the usb stick mbr and i got it installed on the HD mbr which is not what i want. i know is there a way to recover the windows mbr (ms-sys --mbr /dev/hdX ) but how to move the grub on /dev/sdb? [09:14] one last question [09:14] q_a_z_steve: what do u mean by iirc? [09:14] ok [09:14] ive run dd from a drive with a file system to another drive which has no file system [09:14] q_a_z_steve: got it [09:14] is that ok? [09:14] hi. I am trying to figure out how to change the default brightness setting on my laptop. power manager indicates it should be at 100% when on AC, but it clearly isn't. [09:15] or should i have formatted the drive to empty status before running dd to give it a file system? [09:15] Zaca12, yes ... dd copies everything, no matter what... [09:15] Zaca12 assuming the copy went okay, the drives should now be identical [09:15] oh thanks a lot! was just making sure [09:15] Zaca12, formatted partitions are also just bits on the disk... they will be overwritten by dd === zz_hsa2 is now known as hsa2 [09:16] im running dd with a blocksize of 32768k and the drives are both 1.5TB each, how long could we guess this should usually take? [09:16] sam-_- My scrollback and logs are not working atm It was something about grub I think nvm [09:16] sam-_- How do I coonnect to my wifi router from the console? [09:16] hello [09:16] how do i delete a program that I installed from source if the 'make uninstall' command doesn't work? [09:16] How do i run mac inside a vitual machine in ubuntu? Is it possible? [09:16] mister_m: sudo make uninstall ? [09:16] Zaca12, hmm... one hour? two? ... depends, how fast the connection is [09:16] Zaca12 I want to say smaller bs is usually safer, and as for time I doubt we know from experience. It will be done when it says it's done [09:17] frogzoo, still doesn;t work [09:17] i can't assign any command or something to super + s key, whenever i press, logout window popups from indicator [09:17] mister_m: then you need to read the makefile, and manually delete everything installed [09:17] Diverdude that would be a mac emulator [09:17] ahha i got told that that's kind of like a ballpark bs and i hope that its not TOO large [09:17] Hey all, a friend of mine has his own page hosted on ubuntu server. And he has some kind of hidden adds, when you enter the page. Can you give me some advice on how to fix this ? [09:17] yes i'll just have to time it and see how it goes [09:17] q_a_z_steve, yeah, which one is good? [09:17] Diverdude or wait, you said virtual machine? just sudo apt-get install virtualbox [09:18] just wondering if it'll take the whole night or what :) haha [09:18] q_a_z_steve: ah y. never got why that was wrong. you didn't care to explain it either. you just said: "=1" [09:18] any idea on how to move grub from a disk to another? === dagb_ is now known as dagb [09:18] q_a_z_steve, virtual box does not support mac os [09:19] any idea for me? [09:19] FxIII, dd the first ... 480(?) byte from one drive to the other drive [09:19] FxIII: you don't. you reinstall grub [09:19] dgx have you looked at /var/www/? [09:19] Let me check [09:20] sam-_- no I said -=1 If I'm not mistaken that would be the same as -- but clearer when dealing with your nick [09:20] Diverdude which are you aiming for VM, or emulation like WINE? [09:20] frogzoo, I can't make heads or tails of it [09:21] it'll be there in targets:: [09:21] q_a_z_steve: so what does -=1 mean? [09:21] the opposite of ++ [09:21] Hi All :) [09:21] q_a_z_steve: WINE Is Not an Emulator [09:21] All says hi [09:21] ne2k too right, but you know. LIKE it... [09:22] q_a_z_steve, VM [09:22] q_a_z_steve: i still don't understand [09:22] frogzoo, I think they are listed in the config.km file [09:22] No, there is nothing wrong in the /var/www/ [09:22] config.mk [09:22] Diverdude vmware then [09:22] q_a_z_steve: I always thought that was a pretty stupid distinction. It's an emulation layer, which to your basic computer user is the same thing [09:22] mister_m: Makefile [09:23] dgx maybe start with what you mean by "hidden adds" Is his domain being parked? [09:23] frogzoo, there is no targets:: heading that I can see [09:23] targets := [09:23] When you enter the page, a pop-out appears in the tab. [09:23] mister_m: maybe install := [09:24] frogzoo, http://pastebin.com/Rxwv8G1g [09:24] Diverdude: as far as I know Apple make it very difficult to install their OS on anything that is not genuine Apple hardware. I have heard of it being done, but I believe it's hard [09:25] Diverdude: and not to mention in breach of their license terms [09:25] Diverdude: but, that said, if you can do it on non-Apple real hardware, there's no reason why you can't do it on non-Apple virtual hardware, such as Virtualbox [09:25] ne2k: I have osx installed in virtulbox ;) [09:26] dmex: how do you do it? [09:26] ne2k it's not a distinction at all, it's whineware's (no pun intended) way of trying to say I'm better than that. A way of filling in the gaps where Windows expects a program. Look at www.codeweavers.org some time, those .dlls are IDENTICAL and just copied over and over to their needed names and directories. [09:26] !who | dgx [09:26] dgx: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [09:26] ne2k: not legally, you have to get an iso from a torrent site. [09:27] ne2k I've done it before. dmex there's a whole guide on which to get, and which is easiest not to BORK [09:27] q_a_z_steve: it is a distinction. I remember the early days of WINE when the developers made pains to say that it was not an emulator, because an emulator has a specific technical definition in computer science, and WINE does not meet that definition. [09:27] q_a_z_steve: I see, thanks. [09:27] mister_m: there'll be Makefiles in each of the PDIR directories that do the install.. [09:27] also afaik newer versions of osx don't work with bios just efi [09:29] ne2k right, it supercedes that, but at what cost really? Just because I call a few pointers c:\Program Files\ and junk doesn't really add up to anything but a work around in my book. I'm not saying I have any better idea, but it's just sad that MSFT never did learn how to play with the other kids. [09:29] frogzoo, okay/ I didn't think of that [09:29] sam-_- I've run Tiger in a VM [09:29] frogzoo, is there a way I can avoid this happening in the future? because this is absolutely ridiculous [09:30] mister_m: don't install from tarballs? [09:30] q_a_z_steve: a vm with efi support? [09:30] mister_m don't install from sources === hsa2 is now known as zz_hsa2 [09:30] ok :/ [09:30] sam-_- actually I really have no idea whether it was EFI at all. I only learned about that when I dualbooted the mac I'm currently on [09:30] somehting no one ever told me [09:31] q_a_z_steve: it says on wikipedia that tiger was released back in 05 so it's pretty old [09:31] mister_m always check !packages before running off and trying something on .gz [09:31] q_a_z_steve: I'm not really sure I know what you're talking about. [09:31] hi usb dsl modem connection problem in ubuntu 10.10.modem model is beetel 100 cx with no ethernet ports.tried-sudo ppoeconf,brctl,rp-pppoe etc. clear step by step suggestions are invited .

[09:50] if i do it with 10.4 does not report, if i do it with 10.10 it does [09:50] q_a_z_steve: i just want to know how to become root [09:50] ksinkar: but if you must su, sudo su will give you what you want. Notr recommended though...

[10:47] q_a_z_steve: i guess wubi counts as dualbooting as well :-) [10:47] skilz, there are some programs, licenced programs, windows can run but ubuntu not. === RaNdY is now known as Guest18890 [10:47] like?

[10:49] q_a_z_steve: true. i just meant in the sense of the word "dualboot" [10:49] RAMNUS, basically, it allows you to run windows programs on ubuntu but using windows dll's... [10:49] !sound > randy_ [10:49] randy_, please see my private message [10:49] i didn't know that.. [10:50] RAMNUS, Give it a shot, it's a lot better then dual booting and restarting all the time, less resource consuming also. [10:50] skilz: try itunes, skype for win and thousands of others [10:50] q_a_z_steve, thanl you all the same [10:50] skilz, can we private? [10:50] skilz: they won't run in wine [10:50] skilz: at least they are not usable [10:50] sam-_- what is it with people and the "sense of" stuff tonight.

[10:50] RAMNUS, Sure [10:51] Всем привет [10:51] sam-_-, I have skype installed and why not use Rhythm Box? I does everything itunes does...

[10:52] Im using the linux version of skype [10:53] skilz: q_a_z_steve is right. it messed up my ipod more than once [10:53] Rhythm messed up my * more than once, never trusted it again. [10:53] skilz: the linux version has way less features. [10:54] sam-_-, What extra features does windows have? Also, linux sky, you can make video / voice calls and chat... What more do you want? [10:55] skilz: video conferencing for example [10:55] sam-_-, that also works.. [10:55] * Lint01 wants Visual Studio for Ubuntu [10:56] lapion: not with more than 2 people [10:56] whenever I open a link in a firefox tab it opens up a blank page first and pauses for a while and then opens the link. any one why? [10:57] yudi1, Lack of RAM? Slow internet? [10:57] sam-_-, where do you get such information ? [10:57] yudi1: might be a dns problem. if you navigate on the same page does it happen too? [10:57] yudi1 do you not want it to be in a new tab? [10:57] lapion: i tried it. [10:57] sam-_-, what version of skype ? [10:57] Lint01-- [10:57] who the hell did it?? [10:58] hi [10:58] lapion: 2.1 beta [10:58] skilz: no cannot be, chrome works instantly, and I have 4 Gb RAM and only use 2Gb. [10:58] Lint02 ?? [10:59] hi Zsolt [10:59] envy-ng doesnt work for ubuntu 10.10? [10:59] yudi1: any plugins installed? extensions? [10:59] yudi1 try clicking the link on www.purple.com what happens? === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su [10:59] yudi1, No idea then, why not use Chrome? I find it very pleasing... [10:59] sam-_-, 2.1.0.81 ? [10:59] sam-_-: I thought it was a DNS issue too. I use OpenDNS. but again chrome is very fast. But with in the same page it is fast again [10:59] i want use fat ltsp server/client. what is the recomennded RAM size in the client machine? [10:59] !envy > saleem [10:59] saleem, please see my private message [11:00] lapion: yes [11:00] thanks q_a_z_steve , how do i install nvidia current driver? [11:00] using ubuntu after long time [11:00] How to make apt tools Ignore broken packages? I even holded them, to no avail, it's still insist on removing them before doing anything else [11:01] yudi1: maybe chrome is faster in switching to the fallback dns [11:01] skilz: clicked on the link, it was instant [11:01] saleem System > Administration > Additional drivers If I remember correctly [11:01] sam-_-, it so happened that a friend's account got cracked, and I got sucked in a conference-chat and call with more then 20 people [11:01] yudi1: i would try changing the resolv.conf can't hurt [11:01] saleem that is for 10.4 or 10.10 [11:01] thanks, im looking [11:01] lapion: yes but without video [11:01] Lint03 are you in gnome? [11:02] no and yes [11:02] Hi... I use gnome and compiz on my ubuntu and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could make the "drag to resize window" area bigger? [11:02] Lint03 I'll wait for you to make sense... Or elaborate [11:03] Rada you mean more than just the one corner, or more area to find the cursor? [11:04] sam-_-: just launched a default profile of FF and tested it, it is very responsive, and the regular profile I use it opens up a about:blank page first, strange [11:04] upadted ubuntu 10.10 today.. and now when i reboot i only see bash???????? [11:04] q_a_z_steve: More area [11:04] yudi1 profiles can go corrutp [11:04] *sp [11:04] I have GTK environment which is not gnome [11:04] Hello. Is there something similar to (py)vnc2swf that will produce a sane video format? [11:05] q_a_z_steve: currently i have to have the mouse accurately on the border of the window, which is like 1 or 2 pixels wide [11:05] q_a_z_steve: what's with that link? It opened fine with out any delay [11:05] yudi1: about:config might reveal sth. but i don't have any suggestions where to look :-( === bLuCiFeR is now known as blu [11:05] Rada: i hate that too [11:05] I've tried looking in 'window' settings and searching 'resize' in ccsm and looking in the general section of it... no luck [11:06] Rada You can try messing in the compiz-settings trackpad and that cursor are not friends. [11:06] yudi1 that is an autorefresh after <5 seconds I think, but clicking the FAQ was what I was aiming for. i.e. did it open in a new tab or not. [11:07] Ah, there's also the alt+middleclick [11:07] q_a_z_steve: yes it opened in a new tab, I have it setup that way with TAbmix plus add on [11:07] Rada hey, there you go. I doubt I have that option with my mac trackpad, but yeah [11:08] darn it... how do i enter the graphical enviroment from bash [11:08] q_a_z_steve: there's also the possibility to expand the shadow area [11:08] yudi1 wow, the autorefresh opened in a new tab? That could get real hairy real fast [11:08] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811069 [11:09] fartman: sudo start gdm [11:09] fartman startx? [11:09] tnx [11:09] tried startx [11:10] did not work [11:10] fartman: sudo start gdm [11:10] im trying to run a php-cli script and all it is doing is outputting the contents of the script. the script is executable and has the correct path to php afaik. any ideas? [11:10] fartman: did you get an error message from startx, or just return to a prompt? [11:11] am I getting ignored? [11:11] on momen [11:11] t [11:11] [01/19/2011 -:- 04:02:57 AM] Lint03 I'll wait for you to make sense... Or elaborate [11:11] GotSanity: post the script to pastebin [11:11] I elaborated, see the channel [11:12] greppy: i get alot of errors failn with nvidia [11:12] fartman: then you won't be able to get into x11 until those are fixed, or you stop using the nvidia driver. [11:12] Lint03, you don't ignore broken packages [11:13] hi everybody. i've upgraded from 10.4 to 10.10 and my printer doesn't work. the error is "gutenprint driver is not compatible with ppd" what should i do? [11:13] anyone know of a lightweight ipod manager for lxde (lubuntu)? [11:13] Lint03 you said GTK != gnome. I guess my suggestion still applies. Go into synaptic and Lock version, then there will be a visual queue that this really will not be touched [11:13] greppy how do i disable nvidia drivers from bash? [11:13] Lint03: you really shouldn't ignore apt. there should be another way. post what is broken and we will try to help [11:13] q_a_z_steve, he does not want to ignore broken packages [11:14] why apt is bothered withy packages that has no any relation to current operation? [11:14] muxol, lightweight? the normal ones are not especially heavy, try gtkpod [11:14] sam-_-, http://paste.ubuntu.com/555725/ [11:14] Lint03, to keep your system running in a sane fashion [11:14] bazhang yes, HE does, I know that's not a good idea. Lint03: You want linux to be stable no? === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [11:14] bazhang, sure they are: amarok, banshee, etc. [11:15] muxol, gtkpod as I suggested [11:15] kk [11:15] greppy: how do i disable nvidia drivers from bash? === donnie is now known as coscavodka [11:16] it's just the isolated package which has no correllaton to anything with system. even if it's broken, it doesn't affect anything else and I don't get why apt* is so unyielding about it [11:16] wow that brings back memories [11:16] fartman: look for a driver definition in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change it to nv I think. [11:16] mm [11:16] Lint03, its what package managers do [11:16] i held it, apt doesn't care and want to remove as it's "misses" some library [11:16] fartman: I don't have an X11 enabled box with an nvidia card in it atm [11:16] Lint03 which package are we dealing with? [11:16] hello ereryone [11:17] GotSanity: have you tried feeding it to php directly? === vario is now known as vario1 [11:17] Lint03, apt's job is to take care of all the packages of your system, not just a few selected. It's not trained to "just" ignore packages that have no correlation with current operation. [11:17] daiyuzhang, ubuntu support question? === RichiH is now known as rICHIh === rICHIh is now known as RichiH [11:17] greppy: ok ill try [11:17] thanks [11:17] bazhang++ [11:17] sam-_-, I assume you have tried it ? Because linux-versioning of skype tends to be different from windows, and an older version of skype for linux might have the same functionality as a newer windows version [11:17] 这是什么 [11:17] GotSanity: like this: /usr/bin/php [11:17] sam-_-, yes, however im not to sure of the syntax. ive tried php
