[00:00] hola all [00:00] ZenMasta numlock? [00:00] ZenMasta: I think ctrl+alt+numlock is the keybinding to toggle numpad/mouse movements [00:00] well, to be continued gotta go. Thanks anyway though [00:00] i'll give that a shot when I get home. writing it down now [00:00] thanks [00:01] what is the differance on the 10.04 alternative and dexktop? [00:01] if anyone's interested, what I did was boot the .iso image with qemu, with the whole disk I want to install onto a partition of as qemu's hard disk [00:01] RobotCow: start your own ppa :) You can even have it automatically pull git and build the package for you [00:01] There's no way to pause an update? [00:01] it's pretty slow but the installer is running now [00:01] Irreducibilis, no [00:01] Damn. [00:02] it's a shame it's not easier to just install Ubuntu from removable media [00:02] hiexpo, gui installer vs ncurses (debian installer) with more options for advanced users like setting up raid and/or LVM [00:02] gordonjcp hmm? ubuntu installs from removable media [00:02] Wiesshund: how? === nibbler_ is now known as nibbier [00:02] oh ok [00:02] hello, I am looking for a piece of software for ubuntu that will let me draw out a flowchart of my network i am building so i can visualize what i am about to do. Do any of you have any suggestions. Please keep in mind I am not looking for something extremely complex. [00:02] hi all,when i try to mount an ntfs partition i got this error msg : Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: $MFTMirr does not match $MFT (record 0). [00:02] Wiesshund: I've been trying to find accurate documentation on it all evening [00:03] you can install it from cd or usb drive easily [00:03] jgcampbell300, maybe yed, its java app [00:03] jgcampbell300: look at dia [00:03] Wiesshund: there's no USB image availagle [00:03] sorry guys, i was installing a script in xchat and didn't see that my preferences conflicted with the script. :"> [00:03] *available [00:03] Test [00:03] Ok that we go [00:03] Wiesshund: and just dd-ing the image to a USB stick doesn't appear to work for Ubuntu [00:03] thanks for the suggestions ... i will look them up now [00:04] What if my laptop goes to sleep on it's own when its updating? Will that screw it up too? [00:04] Wiesshund: I tried unetbootin but it was messy and confusing, and still didn't actually write anything resembling a bootable image to the USB stick [00:04] Irreducibilis, it wont [00:04] I'm basically worried that I have to sit here and babysit it [00:04] gordonjcp http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [00:04] jgcampbell300, also there are some nice online sites that offer such software [00:04] Wiesshund: doesn't work [00:04] Oh okay. [00:04] dodgy_script: if you have a ssh server, is possible. =P [00:04] Wiesshund: it doesn't actually produce anything that boots on any machine I've tried it in [00:05] gordonjcp, you're trying to install ubuntu from the usb? [00:05] DiamondSword: I *was*, but now I'm just doing something a bit evil with qemu [00:06] any suggestion ? [00:06] \exit [00:06] gordonjcp, i installed this ubuntu from my usb today. and all was fine. [00:06] DiamondSword: I didn't get anywhere with trying to put the Ubuntu installer on a USB stick [00:06] DiamondSword: what did you use to copy it across? [00:06] quit [00:06] exit [00:06] gordonjcp, you need to fist download the .iso file. did you? [00:07] DiamondSword: yes, of course, that's what qemu has booted [00:07] trakinas, wow whats that i mean how do you use it i can ssh -X me@box2 [00:07] Question: What is a good Latex-Editor with preview for Lucid Lynx? [00:07] agnostic: gedit has a plugin which works fine; and gummi is ok [00:08] gordonjcp does your system normal boot from the usb drive ok? [00:08] normaly* [00:08] Wiesshund: how else would I install an OS? [00:08] gordonjcp, go there http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download and follows the instructions at step 2. [00:08] *follow [00:08] gordonjcp cd? [00:09] after that, gordonjcp, you just need to change it boot from usb in your bios at starting. === Guest92725 is now known as RaNdY [00:09] VCoolio: I can not install gummi. It refers to old packages, which are not supported anymore :-( [00:09] Wiesshund: I can't remember the last time I saw a CD drive [00:09] Wiesshund: I wouldn't even know where to buy one === OzoneScaredyMan_ is now known as OzoneScaredyMan [00:09] has anyone had any luck with iwconfig in ubuntu 10.10? === RaNdY is now known as Guest93025 [00:09] agnostic: package gedit-latex-plugin from universe repo, and gummi has seen a lot of updates lately, see if there is a repo for it or compile it [00:10] gordonjcp hehe anyplace that sells computer hardware [00:10] ubuntu appears to recognize my card and have driver but I've gone through 2 iwconfig guides and I still can't pull an IP from my router [00:10] VCoolio: repo? [00:10] Wiesshund: around here they just look at you funny and tell you to go back to ten years ago [00:11] agnostic: package database where the package manager gets the stuff from, you can add more, for example from launchpad.net [00:11] hmm [00:11] gordonjcp heh ask them how would they then chose to install retail software and operating systems etc. [00:11] Wiesshund: I don't understand [00:11] foolhardy, install arp-scan [00:11] dodgy_script, thanks [00:12] does anyone know how to restore default ubuntu 10.10 fonts [00:12] VCoolio. I chanched the source according to a tutorial. (first it didnt now gummi at all) But then it said, that the packages on which it depends, are to old. [00:12] busy today [00:12] gordonjcp you buy er say Halo (just agree) it comes on a disc, you buy windows it comes on a disc, you buy ubuntu (yea you can buy a hard copy) it comes on a disk [00:12] agnostic: https://launchpad.net/~gummi/+archive/gummi [00:13] these colors are a pain on xchat [00:13] Wiesshund: oh, okay [00:13] Wiesshund: I've no idea, I don't really know anything about Windows [00:14] agnostic: also there are pdf viewers that refresh pdf's if they changed, which results in a preview-like experience; evince also does that, so then any editor will do [00:14] Wiesshund: I suppose I thought they must just netboot the machines or something [00:14] Wiesshund: it's not really something I've thought about [00:14] VCoolio: Evince?

[00:16] I_C_Wiener: How did you mount it? [00:16] i plug it in [00:16] my archive manager can't open .rar files, where do i go wrong? any ideas? [00:16] pugged* [00:16] lol [00:16] VCoolio: Strangely, I could install gummi now. But i don't know why^^ I didnt chanche anything....

Had problems with that one [00:20] eross sudo update-grub should see windows on the other partition and add it to the boot menu automaticaly [00:20] arp that is [00:20] I_C_Wiener: dmesg is a command to output your system log to terminal.

[00:36] foolhardy, i mean the gui interface in administration menu [00:36] x_: are you sure the thing you're plugging into is receiving sp/dif correctly? [00:36] ha-ny: You need to close all other package managers such as synaptic and update manager [00:37] dodgy_script, no gui [00:37] just cli [00:37] gordonjcp, its a 7.1 amp. it should be fine. optical isn't showing any red light out of the wire on ubuntu anyway. [00:37] basically, I'm just trying to setup a wifi connection via the cli [00:37] with wpa [00:37] stefanos90: it's actually pretty easy once you get your head round it, and if you code them by hand your sites will be faster and not suck [00:37] gordonjcp, my cable box spdif works fine on the same amp [00:37] foolhardy: You want to use wpa_supplicant then [00:37] x_: sounds like your s/pdif output isn't even enabled [00:37] arp-scan just returned about 5 pages [00:37] wpa_supplicant [00:38] gordonjcp, my bios only has settings for onboard audio on / off [00:38] x_: all I can suggest is hitting Google for information about your card [00:38] gordonjcp, I have and all I find is other people with the same issues, I posted on the forums too no reply. [00:38] x_: maybe it's badly supported then [00:38] i dont know php.. i am studing other languages is any programm? [00:38] gordonjcp, every pc pretty much comes with realtek/intel hd audio though ... [00:38] dodgy_script, "sudo apt-get install wpa_supplicant" can't find package [00:39] x_: from experience, stereo s/pdif is usually okay but trying to get multi-channel working is ridiculous [00:39] gordonjcp, I might just be missing something stupid but I dont think so since I can get hdmi to work by editing /etc/pulse/default.pa [00:39] x_: it's something I'm going to look into later, for some of my audio work [00:39] If I start to run out of hard drive space, will it slow down my Ubuntu system like it does on Windows? [00:40] gordonjcp, are you an audio dev on ubuntu{ [00:40] stefanos90: PHP is easy to learn. and html + css is simple and your code will be much more clean and clear if you code your self. is really simple. [00:40] Any idea why the linuxmint 10 and ubuntu 10.10 installers cannot find my HD when my Ubuntu 9.04 installer sees it clear as day? [00:40] x_: I'm an audio dev, but I mostly work on Arch Linux [00:40] x_: I don't like pulseaudio much, though [00:40] foolhardy, what is it that you are trying to do? im guessing your on the net ! [00:40] gordonjcp, ive tried alsa too and it didn't work. I don't get this at all [00:41] you know what, I'm going to kick off an upgrade to 10.10 [00:41] trakinas, i am in univeristy and we haveexams.. i cant start it now [00:41] dodgy_script, i've got a separate box with a light ubuntu install (xbmc live). I'm just trying to get it to connect to my wlan [00:41] it has wpa [00:41] and I only have the cli, no gui [00:42] gordonjcp, Im hoping I dont have to really go to windows 7 to get spdif this is a shame. [00:42] stefanos90: for what reason do you want to build this webpage? but to answer your question, I think komposer may suit your needs. [00:42] x_: I have no idea how sound works in Windows, I've never used it [00:42] is not a dreamweaver-like, but definitely can do what frontpage can. [00:43] If I start to run out of hard drive space, will it slow down my Ubuntu system like it does on Windows? [00:43] i will start studing php and just want to test some ffree servers.. thank you will try [00:43] x_ what audio card do you have? [00:43] x_: I tried XP but my soundcard wasn't supported, so I gave up on it until I have more time [00:44] Wiesshund, alc888 realtek/intel hd [00:44] Rypervenche: probably not. [00:44] Wiesshund, shows up as alc887-vd in ubuntu though. [00:44] it is kompozer.. :) [00:44] x_ is it an onboard? [00:44] Wiesshund, yea on a brand new gigabyte i3 mobo [00:45] Rypervenche: if Im not wrong, windows become slower because of the pagination file. since you have a separate partition with your swap, I *think* it won't be slower. [00:45] foolhardy, no x then lol ... is dhclient installed ? [00:45] Rypervenche running out of disk space doesnt really do any OS much favors. but if you have swap on a spearate partition it should keep running ok [00:45] dodgy_script, I have tried running it and i get returned "no working leases in persistent database - sleeping" [00:46] trakinas: If the swap partition is on the same disk as the OS, it will still have some effects if swap is used alot. [00:46] Diamondcite: I thought so, but OS is not my speciality. thanks [00:46] dodgy_script, but iwconfig shows that I have the correct network and pass and all configured [00:46] I am thinking of setting up a linux server to run a media server, deluged, and a few other smaller servers ... my question is would ubuntu server be a good os to use or should i be looking for a less resource intensive solution ? [00:47] Wiesshund: Ok, thank you. [00:47] foolhardy, but no ip address [00:47] jgcampbell300: if you install ubuntu server it should be fine, I use it to serve up movies on my home network. [00:48] x_ it doesnt look like that audio solution has exactly full capabilities in ubuntu, least not yet [00:48] how can I check for an ip dodgy_script ? - what is the cli's ipconfig [00:48] Rypervenche: Ubuntu might work a little better than windows, as Wiesshund stated, swap is on another partition, so running out of disk space won't hurt much, system will keep running. Since linux has reserved 5% of each partition for itself for CRITICAL tasks, even when you run out of useable diskspace, important information is still being stored and written, unlike windows which stops ^_^ [00:48] foolhardy: ifconfig [00:48] Wiesshund, so thats why my spdif doesn't work? and can you tell me where you figured that out [00:49] foolhardy, ifconfig , or iwconfig [00:49] dodgy_script, I have no ip on wlan0 [00:49] -only on eth0 [00:49] greppy: what kind of hardware are you running it on, the box I have available is 1ghz, 512Mb, 10/100 x3 [00:50] Diamondcite: Ah ok, I still ihave about 20 GB left, I was just curious if I should be worried or if I can still use up some more space without worrying too much about performance. [00:50] type ifconfig [00:50] Rypervenche: Well then, to put your mind at ease, I've run my /home to 0bytes left 4 times since this month started ^_^ [00:50] jgcampbell300: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+, which is 1ghz with 1 gig of ram. [00:51] Diamondcite: 400MB here. almost there! [00:51] dodgy_script, after ifconfig I show no inet addr for wlan0 [00:52] greppy: do you see many problems with 1G memory and do you think 512 would do it ? [00:53] I just used dist-upgrade to update my system from jaunty to natty - I'm trying to apt-get python-virtuanenv, but it's getting placed in my old (python2.6) python version - env python is spitting out 2.7. Is this is a problem with env giving me the wrong version or with apt get installing to the wrong location [00:53] greppy: Heyo greppy [00:53] x_ have you tried looking at the alsa commandline mixer?

[00:54] how do i completely remove apparmor [00:54] x_ in terminal run alsamixer [00:55] anyone? [00:55] looking at launchpad, the default python version is 2.7 - so apt is placing the installed python files into the wrong place. Does anyone know how I can control that? [00:55] x_ see if you have an option to enable device IEC958 or similar [00:55] Wiesshund, yea, I know how trust me :\ iec958 is unmuted and set to default pcm everything else is unmuted too..

I think before I go any further I will hook my notebook up to the tv and see how it handles. Thank you for your Input. [00:59] Any ideas on how I can remove my ATI drivers? [00:59] x_ i see people running that audio chip in mythbuntu and studio, but not vanilla, you might try asking around one of those channels [00:59] foolhardy, is it for windows / mac/ or what? [01:00] drahx which version? [01:00] dodgy_script, I don't understand. I have a light ubuntu install. no windows, no mac. I'm trying to get my wifi card to connect to my wlan. iwconfig shows that the card's drivers are installed [01:00] drahx system > admin > hardware drivers [01:01] dodgy_script, how can I tell if I'm connected to the wlan and not receiving an ip vs not connectedt o the wlan at all? [01:01] Wiesshund, according to the realtek driver dl for linux this chip works, and my analog out works [01:02] foolhardy: you need to set the ssid to your wireless ssid. [01:02] foolhardy: there is not really a 'connected without an ip state' [01:02] melkor, I have the essid set [01:02] need I also set ssid? [01:02] x_ have you tried any of these kinds of fixes? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1084436 [01:02] foolhardy, your not connected! [01:03] foolhardy: is it an encrypted network? [01:03] melkor, yes, wpa [01:03] foolhardy: then you will need to use wpa_supplicant. [01:03] What is the meaning of "gethostby*.getanswer:" in /var/log/auth.log? here is an example http://pastebin.com/4mMD0gYY [01:03] foolhardy: you are using completely cmd line? [01:04] melkor, i asked about that a while ago. how do I install that? sudo apt-get install wpa_supplicant returns couldn't find package wpa_supplicant. Yes, I am only cli [01:04] foolhardy: after doing a "apt-cache search wpa" I came up with "wpasupplicant" try that instead. [01:05] foolhardy: you need the repo to get wpa_supplicant, if it is on the cd then put the cd in, or you need to connect to the internet. [01:05] Wiesshund, the bottom post and reboot ? [01:05] ok, i aparently already have wpasupplicant installed [01:05] foolhardy: there is also wicd-cli and wicd-curses, never used it, or wpasupplicant for that matter ,but it might help. [01:06] how does one use wpasupplicant? [01:06] foolhardy: so you can run wpa_supplicant? (don run it but see if it is there.) [01:06] x_ the post where the guy showed how he was modding his alsa setup manualy [01:06] melkor, "wpasupplicant is already the newest version" [01:06] Wiesshund, which one? [01:06] foolhardy: then you need to create a config file. [01:07] melkor, ok. to do that I need to use nano or vi? [01:07] foolhardy: I have used wicd and it was real easy, but I did not use the wicd-curses, but it could be easy [01:08] foolhardy: choose your poison, nano is easiest. [01:08] x_ yes last post on that page [01:08] Wiesshund, ok ill try it thanks [01:09] foolhardy: you need to run wpa_passphrase === Guest93025 is now known as RaNdY [01:10] is that something I need to install also melko? [01:10] melkor, ? [01:10] foolhardy: it will give you instructions. It should have come with wpa supplicant. === RaNdY is now known as Guest91416 [01:12] foolhardy: try to install the wicd-curses, that is a cmd line program for setting up your wireless. You should be able to just type in your ssid and your passphrase without making a config file. [01:12] is there a japan channel i can join? [01:12] melkor, after using wpa_passphrase should it connect automatically? [01:13] akagi82, #ubuntu-jp [01:13] foolhardy: no that converts you passphrase to a psk that you use in your .conf file [01:13] wedwo ty [01:13] melkor, i'll try to find wicd-curses [01:14] foolhardy - what system did you install this on? [01:14] protie, system - hardware dell gx280 [01:15] hey guys ive install apache2 and the php5 and i did a2enmod php5 but when i try to check out a php page in my browser it tries to download the php file [01:15] foolhardy: http://www.pastie.org/1479315 that is my wpa conf file. [01:15] this normally works flawlessly for me but its not now [01:15] ok was wondering. I had the exact same prob but different system [01:15] digitalfiz: did you restart apache? [01:15] !lamp > digitalfiz [01:15] digitalfiz, please see my private message [01:15] yes [01:15] digitalfiz: follow the troubleshooting steps on that wiki page for that issue [01:15] melkor, i've got wicd-curses installed. how do you run it? [01:16] ty jrib [01:16] foolhardy: type wicd and press tab === Alcapun is now known as noobuntu [01:17] melkor, tab returns wicd and wicd-curses [01:17] I ended up having to do a full reinstall, sucks yeah, but been good ever since [01:17] foolhardy: run wicd-curses then. [01:17] foolhardy: curses is a cmd line 'gui' [01:18] melkor, I see. seems useful [01:18] says "obtaining ip address ... /" [01:18] but I haven't entered key yet [01:18] jrib, just realized its only downloading files when they are in ~userdirs i think i might be able to fix that [01:18] foolhardy: I don't know I haven't used it before. [01:19] it will prob pop up that key is incorrect after a min or so [01:19] even though thats not its prob (even with correct key it would still give that error)] [01:21] foolhardy: if that does not work, you can create a wpa_supplicant.conf file, and then run wpa_supplicant and it should work. [01:21] where does the wpa_supplicant.conf file go? [01:21] -location [01:22] Good night. [01:22] foolhardy: where ever you like. [01:23] foolhardy: did you see the paste I made? You should be able to make a file with that information. [01:24] I did. I'm trying to get wpa-curses to work. If not I'll try the manual route [01:24] anyone here good with labview? [01:25] http://www.pastie.org/1479340 < that is how I run my wpa_supplicant you might have to change the interface name.

Otherwise I'd ask in ##hardware if you are having hardware issues [02:30] Hey there [02:30] liam nothing special to using it localy, if you can already set it up in general [02:30] if you change your nick, i'll help you out [02:30] ActionParsnip: nope not ubuntu - but i couldnt find it when i searched [02:31] why cant tranfer file from Yahoo Messenger Windows -> Pidgin ubuntu ? [02:31] g23 [02:31] Hi, my Ubuntu 10.10 iso CD will not reconize my HD during install, I get no option to use entire disk, it goes straight to the partition menu where my HD is not listed. The live CD will read my HD and its contents but the installer does not. Any help please. [02:31] Wiesshund: I have set it up and I can use normal user accounts however I can't access the postmaster account over pop..... [02:31] Toxicsgz: run: lspci websearch for the drive controller you have [02:32] how do i install emacs 23 on ubuntu 9.10 [02:32] Is it possible to install Ubuntu using one partition? [02:32] ubuntu yes [02:32] Eep, okay, indeed, my root password is suddenly not recognized anywhere. I made a minor change, I thought, to user groups ... for audio purposes. i.e., sudo usermod -G audio [userid] [02:32] Toxicsgz: try running gparted and partitioning the drive, then run the installer [02:32] that's how most people do [02:33] liam you get an error or? [02:33] gparted ActionParsnip? [02:33] peterkirn: there is no root pass, your password your user logs in with is not the root pass [02:34] Toxicsgz: its the partitioning tool [02:34] THe disk utility you mean? [02:34] ActionParsnip: Right, I understand. So somehow I've removed my default login from the root group, which means I can't authenticate at all. Is there any way to recover? [02:34] hi ppl... im having so weird eror.... i got a web server with text files and pictures, when i access the folder it shows a list with all those text files but not the images how this is even possible === wemaflo is now known as wema|off === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [02:35] peterkirn: reboot and hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root, you can now re-add your user to the admin group and/or reset your password with: passwd foo (replace foo with your username) [02:35] peterkirn: had you read man usermod, you've have seen "If the user is currently a member of a group which is not listed, the user will be removed from the group.". Like the 'admin' group :\ [02:36] enav: do you have an index.html with HTML code to display the images? [02:36] rww: thanks, yep -- and, of course, I will now forever remember how to correctly use usermod. ;) [02:36] i just acces the folder with the addres bard no index files at all [02:36] alll files have 777 [02:37] ActionParsnip: thanks, got it. sorry, was used to systems on which there is a separate root account independent from group status of the default login. will do. [02:37] Wiesshund: it just wont authenticate if the username is postmaster [02:38] OK had to download it ActionParsnip. Can you tell me how to create a pnew partition [02:38] how do you boot from usb in virtualbox [02:38] liam what error does it gove? [02:38] give* [02:38] Toxicsgz: gparted is a preety gui app which will help lots [02:39] Wiesshund: Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server localhost responded: Login failed. [02:39] Hi, I'm trying to do Diskless Booting (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto ) and have followed the instructions, but instead of booting, the computer stops in Busybox. How do I make it boot? [02:40] Hey everyone. I am trying to figure out how to install a experimental fglrx driver for my video card. I got a notification icon in the upper right corner of the taskbar, but I was in the process of installing updates so there was a lock on the files and directory. How do I bring up the icon to click to install the driver for my video card? [02:40] Im in the middle of the installer, and it Im stuck on the "Who are you?" page. I have filled out my information but it wont let me continue. [02:40] how do you boot from usb in virtualbox [02:40] ubuntu: make your username all lowercase [02:41] is it possible? [02:42] liam check the mail server log, should be a more detailed account of what occured in it [02:42] snake_: sure, you will need the closed source virtualbox to get USB access [02:42] for some reason 'beep' doesnt output any sound [02:43] I do beep -f 300 [02:43] nothing... [02:44] ActionParsnip, the binary on their site, correct? [02:45] Hey guys, my new 10.10 install on a laptop with an ssd is hanging after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done.". Any ideas? [02:46] snake_: sure, or you can use the repo to get updates when the vbox guys update [02:46] bencahill_: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [02:47] ActionParsnip: yes (the cd was burned a few weeks ago), and ran the 'test cd' option (when you boot the cd) before installing [02:47] ActionParsnip: no errors during install [02:47] bencahill_: cool === bencahill_ is now known as bencahill [02:47] Does anyone have experience with energymech? I am having some issues communicating with it and I really can't figure out why... [02:48] whats 'device' would the pc speaker be? [02:49] the one that makes noise :p [02:49] Would someone be so kind to give me an demonoid invite? I've been waiting for months i've never caught it when its open. Maybe the ubuntu community will pull through [02:49] skiz: Do you have audio when you boot up, or what about playing music, etc. [02:49] opasan: this isn't an appropriate place for that. [02:49] Oops sorry *skilz* [02:49] !ot | opasan [02:49] opasan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:49] How do I switch from 1024 to 1000 to be used in Ubuntu? [02:49] * skilz nods [02:49] thank you [02:49] bencahill: It's not appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic, either. [02:50] rambam, what? [02:50] rww: oh, sorry :) [02:50] rambam: for what? Your question has no scope [02:50] psusi: mebibyte, megabyte. [02:50] rambam: why? [02:50] !ati [02:50] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:50] Anom_: Thank you! [02:50] bencahill: To move forward. [02:51] rambam, insufficient words for meaningful question [02:51] rambam: move forward to what? copying apple? [02:51] naptastic: are you running ubuntu 10.04? it states in gotcha's This does not work for a PXE server running 10.04.1 LTS, I also DON'T see it say that does work in 10.10. so it might have the same problem [02:51] opasan, #freenode welcomes offtopic discussion if its anything to do with support [02:51] psusi: I believe he's talking about reporting disk/filesize values in base 10, not base 2, is that correct, rambam? [02:51] bencahill: No, I didn't even know they did that, I don't care about them. [02:51] sacarlson, yeah, I'm running 10.10, so I guess I've gotta figure out what changed and fix it [02:51] bencahill: Correct. [02:51] What happened to vde support in kvm on Ubuntu 10.10?? [02:51] awesome! I think I just got my first IRC server operational :) [02:52] i am trying to share a printer via the 'appsocket' protocol... I have the printer tagged as 'shared'... but according to 'netstat' there is no process listening to port 9100... what is wrong? [02:52] hi, if I have an ATI card, and need the binary drivers for it, but Hardware drivers is not showing it, does that mean its not supported ??? [02:52] naptastic: I havn't had it working since 8.04 [02:52] rambam: so why do you want them reported in base 10, when a computer uses base 2? [02:52] rambam, having WHAT do that? [02:52] psusi: lol :) [02:52] bencahill: Is Hz base 2? [02:53] Anom_: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga [02:53] psusi: Everything displayed. [02:53] rambam: what exactly is your point? [02:53] rambam, too vague [02:53] bencahill: Humans count in 10. [02:53] Anom whaich ATI card? [02:53] naptastic: I'd like to have that working so I'll work on it with you, if you find a fix before me pm me with the solution [02:53] rambam: computers != humans [02:53] I wanted to install vmware workstation in Ubuntu and it says I need to uninstall player first. How do I uninstall Player? [02:53] I'm trying to burn a .iso to a DVD+RW and have it bootable, but when I select the drive at boot, it boots to grub instead. I've verified that it's burning the files in the .iso and not the .iso itself, and followed the .iso burning guide to the letter. What do I do? [02:53] rambam: Per Ubuntu's units policy, applications should already use 1000/SI based units for many contexts. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy [02:53] rambam: can you give a full and complete question rather than wasting users time habving them milk tiny pieces of information from you [02:54] rambam, a number of the command line tools like du and ls take a --si switch that will do that [02:54] bencahill: So why are we displaying letters here? Computers don't read letters, they read 0 or 1. [02:54] bencahill: rambam: computers should accomidate humans! [02:54] cogsworth: how did you put the ISO on the disk? [02:54] ActionParsnip, ati rs482 [radeon express 200m] [02:54] thuogh if you ask me, the push to abandon 30 years of precedent and switch to base 10 is stupid [02:54] Right clicked the iso from the desktop and selected write to disk. It burned at 4x so I'm relatively sure it burned accurately. [02:55] How can I remove vm player so I can install workstation? [02:55] ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 10.10 [02:55] Anom_: That card isn't supported by versions of ATI fglrx that work with the versions of Xorg used in current versions of Ubuntu. [02:55] i am trying to share a printer via the 'appsocket' protocol... I have the printer tagged as 'shared'... but according to 'netstat' there is no process listening to port 9100... what is wrong? [02:55] on my desktop on the login screen half of the screen appears to be a magnified screen and i cant fig out how to get rid of it...any ideas how? [02:56] Anom_: may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1654240 [02:56] psusi: google this, ubuntu slashdot base 10, and you'll soon probably switch distro? [02:56] cogsworth: ok did you test the CD for defects once booted to? [02:56] ActionParsnip: Once booted to Ubuntu? [02:56] Does anyone else have any ideas regarding my install hanging after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done." ? [02:56] cogsworth: no, waay before [02:56] MacManDan: You should install virtual box which is like vmware for mac. This will let you install other operating systems and run them in a virtualized environment [02:56] What packages do I need to install to get the samba sharing GUI that comes up when you right click a folder and go 'share'? I've got samba4 installed, no menu though [02:57] Anyway, to rephrase my question: How do I display sizes and such in Ubuntu as base 10 and not base 2? [02:57] cogsworth: boot to the cd and press space a lot, you'll get the OLD boot menu and you can test the CD and RAM [02:57] Okay I will try that. [02:57] ActionParsnip: When I try to boot to the CD from Bios, it gives me "Booting from CD..." then "Booting GRUB" [02:57] rambam: I believe rww and psusi answered your question quite well. [02:57] rambam: if you'd have said that in the first place it would have been much better [02:57] rambam: Most GUI applications should already do that. Some command-line applications have an argument to do so. You'd need to specify which application you're talking about. [02:57] ActionParsnip: ;) [02:58] cogsworth: try selecting in the BIOS to only boot CD [02:58] rww: The whole system. [02:58] ActionParsnip: Ok, will do. Will report back with results. [02:58] rambam: "The whole system." is not an application. It's not a system-wide setting. [02:58] on my login screen the desktop magnifier is taking up half the screen and i can't click on anything behind it so how am i supposed to turn it off? [02:58] rww: so does Nautilus report filesizes in base-10? [02:59] bencahill: I don't use it, so I can't check, but I believe it's been modified to do so. [02:59] Zelozelos, ctrl + alt + print screen + s [02:59] rww: But that's what I want. [02:59] ty skilz ill give it a try [02:59] rambam, no.. but I will continue to point out the stupidity of overturning 30 years of precedent and changing the behavior of numerous programs instead of getting the idiots who use wrong numbers ( HD manufacturers ) to stop doing so. [03:00] psusi: actually, if you want to be technical, the hdd manufacturers are correct, gigabyte means '1 billion bytes' [03:00] hey people i got a quick question and want to know if it can be done easily. Is it possible to change permissions for pm-suspend so that it doesn't require sudo to run it?? like chown something or chmod something so that sudo isn't needed for pm-suspend?? [03:00] rambam: Please feel free to see the UnitPolicy page I linked you to, file bugs against applications that violate it, and fix existing bugs tagged as such, then. [03:00] skilz nope its not doing anything [03:01] psusi: but now we have also gotten to where gigabyte means 2^whatever [03:01] rww: nice [03:01] anyone?? [03:01] Does anyone have experience with energymech? I am having some issues communicating with it and I really can't figure out why... [03:01] bencahill, no, it doesn't... [03:01] psusi: technically, gibibyte should have been the term picked to be used to indicate base2 numbers [03:01] yooooo. is it possible to record audio from an app source, like rhythmbox or a web browser in linux? (i'm certain it's possible)... How can I do it? [03:02] bencahill, we havn't gotten there, we have been there for 30 years [03:02] on my login screen the magnifier is taking up half of the screen with the magnifier viewer, usually it just shows all black except for a border...how can i get rid of it [03:02] lake: jack-audio [03:02] I note that the intricacies of unit prefixes are offtopic for #ubuntu, though #ubuntu-offtopic would probably love to have an extended debate about them ;) [03:02] lake, sadly, it's quite difficult to do that. The easiest way is to get a patch cable and connect your line out to your line in, and record your line in. [03:02] needlez: you can add pm-suspend to visudo so it will need sudo, but you won't get asked for a password [03:02] lake: Yes you should be able to use audacity to record streamed music and such [03:02] psusi: from wikipedia, summarizes what I'm saying: "Historically, the term has also been used in some fields of computer science and information technology to denote the gibibyte, or 1073741824 (10243 or 230) bytes." [03:02] psusi: Did you google what I told you? [03:02] hi, my window manager closed or something because i can see controls: minimze, close, etc [03:02] how to restart it? [03:02] rww: understood :) [03:02] Zelozelos, Sorry mate, Hold down Alt-PrintScreen (this is the SysRq key combo), and while holding down those keys, press the letters 'S' to sync the disks, then 'U' to unmount the filesystems and 'B' to reboot the computer. Always try that before going for the power button. It's a bit awkward to do all that while holding Alt-PrintScreen, but it's not something you'll do often. [03:03] i tried to restart pc but the same [03:03] that 640k of base ram dos supported? it wasn't 640,000... 720k floppy disks? wasn't 720,000... a 1mb stick of ram was not a million [03:03] sandyd: naptastic mellin thanks all for the super quick input. I'll look into jack-audio asap [03:03] Aleiex: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace [03:03] sacarlson, thanks. Sorry, I'm distracted and working on 2 problems at once. I'm pretty sure the problem is in the initramfs but I don't know how to solve it. [03:03] lake: NP [03:03] rambam, no [03:04] anybody have an idea about hanging at boot, could have something to do with firewire? [03:04] thnx ActionParsnip [03:04] ActionParsnip: I need to change its permission cuz I'm thinking about adding it to the end of a bash script to tell the computer to automatically sleep after totem closes. I made a c wrapper to do shutdown, but that just shuts down the computer and I'd rather it sleep. So is it possible to get rid of that sudo requirement for this?? [03:04] lake: youll also want to use it with qjackctl [03:04] why this happen? [03:04] bencahill: when you see plymouth, press ESC and it will get out of the way and let you see whats actually happening [03:04] ActionParsnip: plymouth? [03:05] bencahill: plymouth is the pointless boot splash Ubuntu uses [03:05] bencahill: plymouth is the purple screen [03:05] bencahill: ya. that purple/blue startup screen [03:05] psusi: So you might want to perhaps change distro, if they go through with it. http://linux.slashdot.org/story/10/03/27/1451238/Ubuntu-Will-Switch-To-Base-10-File-Size-Units-In-Future-Release [03:05] needlez: like I said, you will need to add the word 'sudo' to the command but you will NOT need to enter a password [03:05] hai all,When i am trying to update ubuntu 10.04 I got an error message"E: crossplatformui: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2" any one can help me [03:05] rambam: lol [03:05] ActionParsnip, needlez, sandyd: I never get there, it only sits at a blinking cursor if I boot normally, i'm booting into the 'recovery mode' grub entry [03:05] rambam, like I said before, that would be silly. [03:05] sandyd: I've got that package installed, now. thanks. [03:05] bencahill: you can also press shift/esc on boot to show the grub menu, press 'e' and remove "splash" [03:06] bencahill: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html - Cached [03:06] lake: its not as easy as you think - read the wiki [03:06] naptastic: I've worked on this initramfs problem in the past before 8.04 when I had to add drivers, It was involved with lots of trial and error and seemed at the time I had two problems that made it more dificult [03:06] sandyd: yes, I know :) [03:06] ActionParsnip: ok thank you [03:06] !visudo | needlez [03:06] at any rate, it seems 10.10 did not make the switch like that says [03:06] ActionParsnip: will check, brb [03:06] psusi: Not yet, but we'll see. [03:06] needlez: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers [03:07] needlez: if you screw the file you will need to boot to root recovery mode and fix, so be careful [03:07] both df and gnome are still using base 2, like everyone else but HD makers have done for 30 years [03:07] psusi: Do your research a little bit better. [03:07] sandyd: okay, thanks for the reality check. [03:08] !ot | psusi, rambam [03:08] psusi, rambam: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:08] skilz that does effectivly reboot the machine (awsome to know that key combo-something i was wondering) but the magnifier is still there [03:08] is there a file size limit when importing an Outlook 2007 PST file into Evolution ? It seems to work fine with a 650M I have, but the NEXT button wont enable when I try it with another 9G one... Must I brake it into little pieces beforehand? [03:08] ActionParsnip: umm, ill pass then, i have a solution that will work for now, I made a Cwrapper that has the shutdown command basically and doesn't require it to be ran as root cuz it thinks im already root running it [03:08] psusi: base 2 is more accurate to what is actually on the partition, so you know that there is no rounding etc. Windows shows both which I have had many calls about wanting me to explain [03:08] but thank you i will look into this [03:09] please help meee [03:09] sandyd: is this wiki to which you refer? HowToJACKConfiguration [03:10] my kids did something to my login screen, the magnifying thing is taking up half of the screen and i cant fig out how to get rid of it..any ideas [03:10] ActionParsnip: Changing the boot priorities to only CD didn't help, but I DID find something puzzling. [03:10] lake: yup [03:10] great [03:10] lake: but Ill assure you that it will perform MUCH better than pulseaudio ;) [03:10] Zelozelos: I've never played with it, but there should be an accessibility icon somewhere along the bottom you can click to change magnifier settings. Looks like a person in a circle. [03:10] aju: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1641387 [03:11] ActionParsnip: The files I'm trying to burn are originally contained in a .bin totaling 707mb in size. However, when I open the .bin with an archive program, the files only total around 600mb. [03:11] rww sometimes i can see it but i cant click on anything but the login names/cancel button [03:11] How can the uncompressed files possibly be smaller than the compressed container? [03:11] Anyone have some reading for me on how to monitor and watch to see if anyone is trying to breach my system? What I'm thinking is it is possible for example to grep the ports somehow to see if someone tries to exploit said port. I know /var/log can be reviewed, but I'm wanting to learn better how to use the command line and programs that are available to me there [03:11] sacarlson, I have the right drivers, at least, I'm pretty sure.

I have media set to automount and this has worked before. any ideas? [03:13] Wiesshund, ahh i see ill check there if not i dont care anyhow..its still running 9.4 [03:14] bencahill: should bring up limits or loading img or something like that, have verbose bootscreen [03:14] it appears my mental model is lacking in this area, sandyd. thanks for the guidance [03:14] lake: however, if you get jack working, you can just use jack by default [03:14] thanks for the info [03:14] lake: it works the same as pulseaudio [03:14] needlez: the last line on the screen is "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottm ... done." [03:15] hold on give me a little bit ill look into it [03:15] needlez: sure, thx [03:15] Anone know if I can move a non adjacent partition to next to it if there is another partiion in the way like | C: | D: | unalloted |?

[03:16] How hard is it to "hop" paritions [03:16] CJ232: mostly time consuming, depending on the size. gparted takes a lot of the guesswork out of it. [03:16] ayecee gparted wont hop partitions though [03:17] Wiesshund: really? it did for me? [03:17] rww, ActionParsnip [03:17] ayecee it let you drag one over the top of others?

[03:17] Anom_, which ones. nvidia or ati [03:17] yeah it jusrt moves it [03:17] not hops [03:18] sandyd, ati [03:18] I dont think [03:18] ATI 200M [03:18] ayecee no its moving say partition 1 over the top of 2 and 3 and dropping it like between 3 and 4 [03:18] CJ232: I don't understand the difference from your scription. [03:18] Anom_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver [03:18] sacarlson, what does that do? I'm not sure if it will help me. [03:18] Anom_: I can't offer any help past that; my policy with fglrx for a long time has been "stay the hell away" [03:18] Wiesshund: like, sliding 2 and 3 to the left, and dropping 1 between 3 and 4? [03:18] aycee what do you mean [03:18] Anom_: you mind if I give you the instructions on pastebin? [03:19] and I can move the partition over with gparted ? [03:19] Anom_: here http://pastebin.com/mnHMVJ7h [03:19] CJ232: sure, but it normally has to be moved into free space. [03:19] ayecee yea [03:19] naptastic: I think it fixes at least one bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etherboot/+bug/617316 and hopfully our problems also [03:19] CJ232: what you might do is shrink the partitions so you have room to work with, then move them, then grow them. Really slow, but it does what you're asking. [03:20] * rww notes that the commands on that pastebin are also on the wiki.ubuntu.com page [03:20] CJ232 you can mirrior the partition you want moved out of sequence, then after you verify its ok, you can remove the original [03:20] Anom_: if your using 64bit, the /usr/lib32/libGL* links may also be fried [03:20] Anom_: you need to restore those manually [03:20] naptastic: I norally try the easy solution first if that fails have to look closer [03:20] is ext4 the latest? [03:20] Propel: the latest what? [03:20] format for HDD [03:20] for ubuntu [03:20] so C: D: unalloted unolatted slides to C: D: Slides after unalloted doesnt work huh [03:21] or best working for ubuntu [03:21] Propel: it's the default for current ubuntu, yes [03:21] Propel: it's the lastest stable one, and the current default. [03:21] never mirrored it before [03:21] ahh ok. thx guys [03:21] CJ232: sorry, I can't follow that. [03:21] CJ232 i guess maybe we should ask why you think they need moved first? [03:21] naptastic: oh and I forgot you run 10.10, I'm running 10.04 [03:22] pardon my ignorance but didn't ubuntu have an app to generate an ssh key and add it to the authorized_keys? [03:22] ayecee: It really depends on what you want to try and accomplish with the filesystem. There are others that are for example better for really big file sizes. As stated ext4 should be more than adequate for most situations ;- [03:22] sacarlson, yeah, the 10.10 vs 10.04 probably isn't a big deal [03:22] ah ssh-copy-id [03:23] sacarlson, the PXE bug isn't affecting me; the problem appears to be in the mounting of the root over NFS, or what happens after that. [03:23] naptastic: can you mount the nfs from a system that's already booted? [03:23] meway: did you mean to address Propel? [03:23] oops. [03:23] CJ232 tell us what your trying to accomplish, maybe we can give you better answers [03:24] stupid autocomplete. [03:24] i assume you meant to refer to someone else, ayecee? [03:24] naptastic: maybe it's missing nfs drivers? [03:24] Propel: apparently. [03:24] ;P [03:24] ironic [03:25] ok [03:25] where can i get packages from for ubuntu so i can local install them? i need network-manager so ican connect from the ubuntu box. [03:25] bencahill: what is? [03:25] samfire: package.ubuntu.com [03:26] !offline | samfire [03:26] samfire: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. Alternatively, try http://ubottu.com/ljl/apt/ - See also !APTonCD [03:26] I have a drive with a C: primary partition and a extended partitions with D: and also 976 mgbytes of unalloted space [03:26] thanks :) its packages. but i found it. [03:26] ayecee: the extended is split so the extended has two logical drives D: and unalloted space [03:27] ActionParsnip: mellin (gone now) referenced ayecee where he should have referenced Propel, so ayecee tried to ask him if he meant that, but he made the same error due to autocomplete ;) [03:27] i want to take the logical drive in the extendend partition and move it next ( in front of ) to C: [03:27] lol [03:27] CJ232 unalloted space is just that unused, its not part of D: [03:27] bencahill: thats not ironic [03:28] I know It is part of the extended partiton which contains the logical drives D: and then the unalloted space also [03:29] ActionParsnip: uk english? [03:29] .. [03:29] bencahill: Uk, Leeds, West Yorkshire [03:29] unalotted belongs to no partition, you could make a new partition in it or you could grow D: into it etc [03:29] ActionParsnip: US here, probably a difference in terms :) [03:30] D is just part of the extended partition though, and the unalloted is in the extended partition [03:30] sacarlson, when I compiled the kernel, I made sure NFS and root over NFS were configured into the kernel, not as modules; though maybe I goofed in there somewhere? [03:30] which is not D [03:30] bencahill: it'd have been ironic if the nick was 'accuracy' or something like that, Yeah the US 'ironic' is the UK 'coincidence', makes us all laugh over here [03:30] sacarlson, (Sorry I'm so slow. My sister just called to say she's pregnant so I've been distracted.) [03:31] naptastic: expected? [03:31] CJ232 unalloted space is not part of a partition, hence its unalotted. If you want to use it the easy way would be grow D: into it [03:31] naptastic: no rush on my side, ok can you mount then from a booted system? [03:31] ActionParsnip: oh yes, not a coincidence, but ironic because in trying to correct he made the same error as the one being corrected :) [03:31] needlez: anything? [03:31] or you could grow D into it, then shrink D and grow C if you want C bigger [03:32] ActionParsnip, yes. Actually I predicted it a month ago.... I was too early! [03:32] naptastic: I mean can you mount nfs from a booted system? [03:32] sacarlson, yes, mount, read, write and execute. Everything works correctly from a booted system. [03:32] naptastic: than in that case, congrats [03:32] ActionParsnip, thanks! Their first child is adorable and I'm excited they're having another. [03:33] bencahill: i guess, makes sense :D [03:33] ActionParsnip: ;) [03:33] naptastic: I also had problems in dhcp with the ip change that gave me problems in nfs, not sure this is your problem [03:33] but D is a logical drive ... but it's good it will be not part of any thing and I can just grrow C: [03:33] *grow [03:33] CJ232 are you running linux or windows or both? [03:33] both === sjd_ is now known as sjd [03:34] ok cause you keep using windows terms, was wondering [03:34] oh sorry [03:34] CJ232 in in simple, which partition did you want bigger? [03:34] Wiesshund: wait, c: and d: are windows terms? ;P [03:35] the C drive but I am in xp [03:35] bencahill, definitely [03:35] CJ232, you sure about that d drive logical is usually recovery from your win [03:35] lol [03:35] edbian: jk ;) [03:35] which the capitalistic M$ programmer wanted you to pay for partiton software [03:36] not that it's a bad thing [03:36] CJ232 ok then what you do is, you grow d into the unalocated space. when that is done, you drag the front edge of D and shrink it again, making a gap between C and D. When that finishes, you drag the back edge of C and give it the sapce you just made [03:38] does anyone else have any idea why i can't boot past /scripts/init-bottom [03:38] ? [03:38] CJ232 partition tools are free, but the average MS user isnt capable of using them without destroying the whole works. [03:38] bencahill can you boot the live cd fully? [03:38] sacarlson, I don't think DHCP should be a problem; everything is static and well-defined [03:39] Wiesshund: no [03:39] sacarlson, running my own DHCP, BIND, NFS, tftp, etc is awesome :-) I love being in control. [03:39] Wiesshund: never associated the two, but it's probably the same problem, now that i think about it :-/ [03:39] so shrinking from the fron doesnt mean that's where the data that;;ll get overwrittens at on the track of th disk [03:39] ActionParsnip, hey [03:39] ok so that ATI 200M is not compatable [03:39] the plates of the drives tracks [03:39] naptastic: the process of pxe involves dhcp look in the dhcp logs to see if the boot tries to get two different address [03:39] Anom_: sup [03:40] bencahill did you check the boot cd on another machine just to verify it didnt have an error in creation etc [03:40] Anom_: I believe it will use the open driver. You may need an xorg.conf file to make it nice] [03:40] sacarlson, where do I find the dhcp logs? [03:40] bencahill: I havent been checking on the convo cause I went outside to give my dog a run, but you tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1271827 ? [03:40] but the ATI drivers work [03:40] CJ232 ive no idea what you just said [03:40] however certain things are not working perfectly [03:40] ie. Google Earth looks like crap [03:40] naptastic: /var/log/dh?? [03:40] (ATI drivers being open source ones) [03:40] I have tried to dual boot Ubuntu 10.10 with Windows xp (it works, as long as I don't install Ubuntu to a seperate HD) [03:40] Wiesshund: yes, and i also tried booting using a liveusb, but installation using an alternate cd worked fine, it just won't boot :( [03:40] * naptastic looks [03:41] i cannot connect to my win7 box from ubuntu 10.10, i tried all the solutions in this thread, no go [03:41] the smb.conf fix did nothing [03:41] I have to install both OS onto the same HD to get the computer to dual boot, would like to install ubuntu 10.10 to its own hd [03:41] sandyd: looking... [03:41] the natty smbclient substitute did nothing [03:41] Anom_: use gallium [03:41] bencahill hmm, what kind and how new of a laptop? [03:41] schwinn434: you can do that, just have to set the ubuntu disk higher in the boot order in the bios [03:41] Wiesshund: an old hp zv5410us [03:41] sacarlson, yeah, no such log files... [03:42] bencahill no familiar with model number, can you give me a rough date that it was new? [03:42] can i do a dist-upgrade to natty from 10.10? [03:42] not sure my pentium 4 bios support this rvn [03:42] schwinn434, is the second hd a slave that can't be first to boot [03:42] schwinn434: even a pentium one supports this. [03:42] Okay, I loaded up 10.10 and noticed that Pidgin is gone, replaced by Empathy. I give it a try, but can anybody tell me how to get it to do a /list of channels? [03:42] Wiesshund: don't know, it was given to me, but has an athlon 64 3200+ (i think) and nvidia graphics [03:42] !gallium [03:43] the second hd is a slave with ubuntu installed [03:43] nit-wit: slave disks can be boot disks, that's irrelevant on a modern box [03:43] bencahill ok that gives me a rough idea from the cpu [03:43] it shows up under the grup menu but will not boot [03:43] schwinn434, can you put the slave first in the bios? [03:43] bencahill have you tried by change booting a 9.x live cd? [03:43] Anom_: gallium is the new mesa architecture. works really well. for more info -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10350363 [03:43] naptastic: sorry /var/lib/dhcp3/leas?? [03:43] have not tried to do this nit-wit did install windows xp first though [03:44] schwinn434, put the slave to be read first. [03:44] nit-wit: thx [03:44] will try this next time [03:44] schwinn434, assuming it has grub in its mbr. [03:44] is there a PPA for current stable evolution (email-client) version (2.32.1)? [03:45] not sure if grub is installed in the mbr [03:45] sandyd, thanks, not sure how this installs though.. [03:45] I installed xp first then ubuntu - telling it to install to the 2nd slave hd [03:45] schwinn434, does xp boot straight in without grub now. [03:45] how to create our own custom live cd,dvd or usb stick for installin ubuntu in different machine so tht i cud save time [03:46] again shows up in the grub menu - but will not boot [03:46] naptastic: you should see what attepts of dhcp leases here /var/lib/dhcp3/dhcpd.leases [03:46] nit-wit: I installed both os s on one hd, now [03:46] and it works, with ubuntu 10.10 the default [03:47] sandyd, the reason I am asking is because I am not very skilled [03:47] My favorite way to install (with 2 HD) is install windows in HDA, then unplug HDA and install linux on HDB. then either drive could explode, and the other os would boot just fine [03:47] sacarlson, copy that. Checking... [03:47] I mean I can do a few things, but is it easy to install ?? [03:47] gave up on installing unbuntu 10.10 to its own hd [03:47] schwinn434, okay, if you can get the slave first in the bios you could install there. [03:48] sacarlson, yeah, that appears to just be dynamic leases... hang on... [03:48] nit-wit: thx for the info [03:48] Wiesshund: it is very unlikely that either will explode [03:48] i got 9 os'es on one disk [03:48] naptastic: yes you will see the pxe client in there check the mac to verify [03:48] nit-wit: will try to get slave hd to boot first next go around [03:48] txdv, 0_0 [03:49] sacarlson, my PXE client has a fixed address, ergo, no entry in that file. [03:49] im doing a distribution upgrade from 10.10->11.04 ;) [03:49] I need help, I have a netbook hasee and everything works perfectly, unless the suspension and hibernation [03:49] rvn: Good luck. When it breaks horribly, support for unreleased versions is in #ubuntu+1, not here ;) [03:49] Wiesshund: no, why? [03:49] sandyd, maybe I should just configure my current open source driver [03:49] txdv i was being over dramatic :) but the point was one disk can disapear and the other wont care (In my case it dissapears cause i pull it and take it to another machine) [03:49] so I don't screw things up [03:49] rww: i'm looking forward to it not breaking horribly, but we shall see, sir! [03:49] What I can do? [03:49] naptastic: I"m not sure how that works, what if 10 people want to pxe boot? [03:50] is it okay to ask for help here? [03:50] lol [03:50] yes [03:50] :D [03:50] sacarlson, then I have 10 static leases defined in dhcpd.conf. It is a bit of a hassle, but I'm a control freak so it all works out. [03:50] bencahill cause i have a machine here roughly around that age, and it will not run 10.x either same boot issue, but it runs 9.x just fine. 10 doesnt like something on its funky motherboard [03:51] Anom_: if you screw it up, you can jst go back with ppa-purge.... [03:51] Does anyone have experience with energymech? I am having some issues communicating with it and I really can't figure out why... [03:51] sandyd, well I don't even see how to install it [03:51] i am not a long user of ubuntu, but somehow i think i have remapped my 'end' key to something [03:51] there is no Ubuntu package [03:51] i can't use my 'end' key [03:51] naptastic: oh ok I see what you mean then, yes with that setup you won't see the lease in that file [03:51] Anom_: add the xorg-edgers ppa [03:51] when i play movies in full screen. If its not HD I can usually see what looks like 4 horizontal lines that appear when the frames moving, or if it is HD it slows the video down, any way i can fix this without replacing the graphics card? [03:51] nothing happens [03:51] xaueious: did you rule out hardware problems by booting to another OS or a live cd/usb? [03:51] Anom_: ill have to drop a line to handy to add it in once the forums are back up [03:52] it's not a hardware problem for sure [03:52] works fine in windows [03:52] sacarlson, okay, so I made a few different initrd's with different options. The one I just tried does manage to get a DHCP lease with the correct address. It starts trying to mount the root over NFS, then stops doing anything and I don't know why. [03:52] is there a way to troubleshoot this? [03:52] i'm using gnome [03:52] but i installed compiz [03:52] might have mapped it somewhere o_O [03:53] xaueious: i'm pretty sure you didn't remap the key on accident [03:53] xaueious: it's not the easiest thing to do [03:53] hi all! I just got my own IRC server running (ircd) I can't use nickserv though. How do I configure my server to use that? [03:53] xaueious: it's possible that compiz assigned it to something, if thats waht u mean [03:53] Anom_: and sorry for the lag in response. HighWinds CDN is being funky again. [03:53] sandyd, no probs [03:53] Nanoha: i'd ask in #freenode [03:53] xaueious: hit alt+F2 and type "ccsm" and hit enter [03:53] sandyd, add software source [03:53] xaueious: that'll bring up the compiz configuring thing - see if you can find something assigned to the end key and reassign or clear it [03:53] naptastic: maybe monitor with wireshark see what it tries that fails? [03:53] how do I upgrade to php5.3.5 in ubuntu 10.04 or is it not enabled by default for some specific reason? [03:54] what do I add to add software source sandyd [03:54] ? [03:54] okay [03:54] Anom: add the xorg-edgers [03:54] checked there... [03:54] ActionParsnip: thanks! [03:54] QUESTION:ubuntu not running , after power cut off ,,its saying at startup failed to mount /proc and /sys no such file system ...help!!!!!!!!!! [03:54] not there... [03:55] pleasehelp meeee [03:55] thauriswulfa: i'd boot to livecd and fsck the partitions [03:55] thauriswulfa: sounds like hdd corruption, might need reinstall :/ [03:55] i'll try something else [03:55] I have a netbook hasee and everything works perfectly, unless the suspension and hibernation, what can i do? (sorry for my English) [03:55] hey anyone , do you have damn vulnerable linux iso file download direct link ? [03:55] thauriswulfa: yeah if ur lucky that might fix it [03:55] i did make a xstartup file that was supposed to remap the windows key [03:55] sacarlson, yeah, how do I tell what succeeds and what fails? I can see a lot of data, but most of it looks like a language I can't understand. [03:55] maybe that did something [03:55] > hey anyone , do you have damn vulnerable linux iso file download direct link ? i need it [03:55] hello [03:55] sacarlson, every boot attempt generates 26,000 packets of NFS traffic. :-) [03:55] rvn: no other solution? as i don't have ubuntu cd now [03:55] hasee: Have you stated your case/asked a question? [03:55] sandyd, so put into software sources "xorg-edgers" ? [03:55] boas noites [03:55] thauriswulfa: well you can't boot, so you can't do anything without a live disk of some sort, right? [03:55] I thought it would be like ppa:xorg-edgers-ppa something.. [03:56] naptastic: well if you see a repeat of a packet without responce? maybe there is also info in nfs logs? [03:56] ?? [03:56] thauriswulfa: you can make a live USB if you have access to another machine and you have a usb drive [03:56] nobodybk: this is ubuntu support, not damn vulnerable linux support [03:56] I have a netbook hasee and everything works perfectly, unless the suspension and hibernation, what can i do? [03:56] hasee: I can't state it any simpler [03:56] but your saying just xorg-edgers sandyo [03:56] when i play movies in full screen. If its not HD I can usually see what looks like 4 horizontal lines that appear when the frames moving, or if it is HD it slows the video down, any way i can fix this without replacing the graphics card? [03:56] Anom_: instructions are here https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa [03:56] thanks !! [03:56] hasee: the easiest thing to do is to avoid using suspension or hibernation. [03:56] on my Android phone, I can run something called 'getevent' or 'getinput', and it shows me if the keys are actually being registered or not === root is now known as Guest60822 [03:56] hasee: what make / model is the netbook? [03:57] rvn: i have only puppy linux only now , no ubuntu download or cd but i have ubuntu 10.10 server cd [03:57] xaueious: xev is the same in linux [03:57] xaueious: xmodmap can do that, and it's used to remap too [03:57] thauriswulfa: puppy might not support teh filesystem you're using on ubuntu [03:57] thauriswulfa: by default ubuntu now uses ext4 [03:57] no it supports [03:57] thauriswulfa: well if it supports it then don't worry, just use that to fsck it [03:57] rvn: its supports ext4 [03:57] Anom_: remember to install ppa-purge after you add repo [03:57] thauriswulfa: doesnt matter what linux [03:58] thauriswulfa: it's like using XP to repair Vista, it will still fix [03:58] rvn: how [03:58] rvn: [03:58] thauriswulfa: fsck /dev/sda1 (or whatever your hdd is) [03:58] i'll google for a bit [03:58] rvn: [03:58] thanks anyway :D [03:58] how [03:58] i dont know, its a chinese hasee netbook [03:58] thauriswulfa: stop spamming my name, i was typing [03:58] rvn:sorry [03:58] anyone here know much about vsftpd? the channel is pretty dead and i'm having trouble uploading [03:58] hasee: what model? it will say on the laptop somewhere. [03:58] but are all the same hardware (hasee) [03:59] hasee: there are several hasee models [03:59] Anom_: because if you install it, running "sudo ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa" will return your system back to normal [03:59] sacarlson, I am starting to think the fs I'm mounting into might be broken in some way. I'mma try something different... [03:59] wait a minute [03:59] sandyd, install gallium ? [03:59] sandyd, I am adding this edgers source [03:59] ZenMasta: I think vsftpd defaults to only allow read, look in conf files [03:59] should that put gallium into my packages ???? [03:59] sandyd, [03:59] ? [03:59] Anom_: add it, run "sudo apt-get install ppa-purge" [04:00] sacarlson yeah I know, but I already edited the conf. I actually followed the ubuntu guide to set it up [04:00] Anom_: then upgrade everything [04:00] hasee: netbooks use different hardware and this needs working around. Suspend can be quite tricky to get working. Depends on the hardware [04:00] sandyd, ok [04:00] Is there any reason an 8 gig flash drive wouldn't support NTFS formatting [04:00] Anom_: upgrading everything should give you gallium [04:00] ok [04:00] naptastic: I thought you said you mounted it from a booted system and it worked? [04:00] greetings... how do i manually create a bootable linux distro using USB? [04:00] I'm trying to format it to NTFS from GParted but it won't let me. [04:00] cogsworth: i find that linux sucks at formatting things in windows formats. [04:00] Anom_: remember if it fails, ppa-purge is your friend. [04:00] cogsworth: but what do you mean "it won't let you" [04:01] rvn: I was able to format a partition to NTFS from the Ubuntu LiveCD. And I mean it won't let me as in the ntfs selection is grayed out in GParted. [04:01] cogsworth: you mean the option is greyed out? [04:01] sandyd: Yes [04:01] cogsworth: ah. that. you have to install ntfs-utils [04:01] cogsworth: no idea. [04:01] cogsworth: ah yeah that would do that [04:01] ohhhh ok many thanks Sandyd [04:01] sacarlson, yes, however I think I created it in an incorrect way, and in some subtle way, it will not boot. [04:02] I just installed java6.22 from the repository. When I went to java.com to test it stated that the current version is 6.23. Will my system update to the latest version once it's available in the repository ? Thank you [04:02] cogsworth: or whatever its called. I havent used ubuntu for a long time [04:02] the model is ME12X [04:02] sandyd, ok perfect [04:02] sacarlson, right now I am actually taking the hard drive I used to boot from and exporting the / partition over nfs; what I had tried was a copy of that partition made with find and cpio [04:02] sandyd, ok upgrade or update > [04:02] ? [04:02] sacarlson, and I think maybe the copy missed something important. [04:02] sandyd: "sudo apt-get upgrade" [04:03] hasee: using what version of ubuntu? [04:03] hasee: let me see what I can find [04:03] Anom: "sudo apt-get upgrade" [04:03] upgrade hey [04:03] 10.10 [04:03] ok [04:03] naptastic: ok [04:03] ok upgrading [04:04] ActionParsnip: Sorry , but DVL support is no more :D , i just need help [04:04] sacarlson, that was the problem, apparently [04:04] naptastic: cool [04:04] rvn: I'm having some trouble finding ntfs-utils in the repository, is there any chance you might have it and could point me to it? [04:05] sacarlson, spoke too soon. It got to a login prompt and now will not login. GRR!!! [04:05] nobodybk: what is DVL? [04:05] cogsworth: i don't use the GUI, but you can open up a terminal when you know the exact name of what you want and type "sudo apt-get install ", in this case ntfs-utils [04:05] naptastic: so if I upgrade with that backport then It should work for me then [04:05] hasee: have you contacted the supplier? [04:05] cogsworth: i dont use the GUI for the package manager, that is [04:05] rvn: Yes, I tried looking for it with aptitude and it isn't listed [04:05] rvn: I searched for "ntfs" and looked under all the utils listed [04:05] cogsworth: did you try apt-cache search ntfs-utils [04:05] yeah [04:06] sec. [04:06] ActionParsnip no because they are chinese [04:06] cogsworth: try ntfs-3g-utils [04:06] cogsworth ntfsprogs [04:06] i cant contact they [04:06] ok so im back bencahill: been looking into your issue but didnt see anything promising [04:06] hasee: so, they should still support you [04:06] cogsworth: go with what he says [04:06] ActionParsnip: damn vulnerable linux [04:06] nobodybk: is it Ubuntu Linux? [04:06] Is there a way to list channels in irc with Empathy? /list doesn't work. Am I missing something simple or is Empathy just weird? [04:06] nobodybk: go away. [04:06] Thank you Wiesshund [04:07] nobodybk: if its not Ubuntu from Canonical, it's not supported here [04:07] linuxmonger: just install pidgin and get it over with. [04:07] hasee: I couldn't find any info related to your model. All I can suggest is a general suspend/hibernate troubleshooting guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144999. [04:07] cogsworth eh i just remembered it cause i had to make some windows hard drives a while back [04:07] naptastic: maybe you forgot your password for this image? [04:07] Wiesshund: Is it a terminal-only utility or is it passive? [04:08] ActionParsnip: , rvn , you dont need to say that , this is support irc , and i dont spam here , so dont make anyone sad [04:08] cogsworth: both [04:08] cogsworth: the other programs utilize it [04:08] cogsworth: in the background [04:08] ayecee thanks, I'll check it now [04:08] cogsworth once installed just re run gparted [04:08] cogsworth: but you could use it yourself [04:08] Ok, thank you both for your help! [04:08] rvn: Thanks, that's the confirmation I needed, back in a few. [04:08] nobodybk: this is UBUNTU support irc, try ##linux [04:08] nobodybk: nobody will mind you asking there [04:08] nobodybk: this is ubuntu support only, you may get help in the channel for your distro or ##inux [04:08] ##linux [04:09] sacarlson, sorry, password? [04:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1655434&page=2 [04:10] ActionParsnip, rvn : thanks anyways and be more gentle [04:10] neither solution worked for me [04:10] sacarlson, fstab was still trying to mount / locally. Trying again... [04:10] i have decided to upgrade to 11.04 [04:10] naptastic: yes you said you can't login, so maybe password is different? [04:10] any other ideas? [04:11] nobodybk each distro has its own tools quirks and widgets, thats why they all have thier own channels, some problems require distro specific answers [04:11] sacarlson, the machine hangs after I type my username... [04:11] rvn: natty is discussed and supported ni #ubuntu+1 [04:11] ActionParsnip: i wasn't talking about natty [04:11] ActionParsnip: the problem occured in 10.10 === roaming is now known as INFURNO [04:11] ActionParsnip: i am upgrading as a possible solution, but was curious if there were other ideas [04:11] naptastic: well fstab that should be easy to fix then [04:12] sacarlson, indeed, and now I've booted into the full graphical environment :-) [04:12] Hey, not neccisarily a serious issue, but I can't find anything on google. So I keep trying to play The Penumbra demos for linux, both Overature and Black Plague, but neither will work. I mean after the video sequence , the screen says loading, then it goes away and its just black. I can't exit out of it, and I have to do a hard restart. This is the same for both demos. I've tried turning off the effects for my computer, no apps running in [04:12] After I wget a *.bz2 file, how do I install it via the cli? [04:12] Nanoha: what are you trying to install in bz2 format? === Guest4497 is now known as RaNdY [04:12] naptastic: ok time for my breakfast then [04:12] sandyd, ok [04:12] upgrade done [04:12] although Google Earth sill looks like crap [04:12] Bluefever: anything proprietary for linux usually breaks after a while, and those aren't too new - 2007 iirc? - so they aren't likely to work on modern linux - try the windows version under wine, more likely to work. [04:12] ayecee: atheme-services-6.0.4.tar.bz2 === RaNdY is now known as Guest17467 [04:13] sacarlson, thanks for your help! :-) [04:13] good idea. [04:13] rvn your havinf linux to win7 share troubles? [04:13] I'll try that. [04:13] Can someone answer a couple of questions for me? When I am installing server 10.10 and I select print server, is that only installing CUPS? If I want a Windows PC to connect to it do I also need to select SAMBA [04:13] Wiesshund: yes. [04:13] ayecee: run after a wget command [04:13] I'll come back with results. @rvn [04:13] Bluefever: gl [04:13] rvn: java + flash work flawlessly here and are proprietary.... [04:13] rvn have you scoured your win7 box for the windows live sign in assistant? [04:13] ActionParsnip: because they are constantly updated [04:13] Nanoha: tar.bz2 is not a package format. It's like a zip file, the contents could be anything. There's no one way to install it. [04:14] Will someone suggest a newsgroup reader/downloader/file assembler for Gnone? [04:14] ActionParsnip: i was referring to one-off proprietary software like games [04:14] piercedwater: pan [04:14] Gnome* [04:14] rvn which incidently seems it also come with live messenger updates [04:14] Anom_, so I guess not much has improved then with these upgrades ????? [04:14] Wiesshund: no, but if it's on my machine it's due to the SP1 RC i'm running and it won't be going anywhere - it's a fairly fresh install, and there's no live essential packs or related [04:14] ayecee: okay, cool. I know there is a tar command, but I don't remember all the swtiches. Dont I need a special one for the .bz2 format? [04:14] Can someone answer a couple of questions for me? When I am installing server 10.10 and I select print server, is that only installing CUPS? If I want a Windows PC to connect to it do I also need to select SAMBA [04:14] Anom_, Are you trying to talk to yourself? [04:14] Nanoha: if you just want to extract it, then tar -xjf file.tar.bz2 [04:15] sorry [04:15] thanks ayecee [04:15] sandyd, so I guess not much has improved then with these upgrades ????? [04:15] ok so why is skype in the software center if it comes from unverified sources? It wont let me install it. Retarded. [04:15] hroberts: yes to the samba [04:15] rvn: doom3 works amaznigly, World of warcraft, Halflife, return to castle wolfenstein, Penumbra [04:15] IdleOne: Thanks [04:15] rvn yea the live sign-in assistant doesnt need you to install the essentials though, one of the normal windows updates has it included. and it isnt really a needed tool, not any bother to remove [04:15] ActionParsnip: halflife and world of warcraft do not have native linux versions afaik [04:15] ActionParsnip: and penumbra isn't working, that's what sparked this [04:16] rvn but it does break samba sharing [04:16] can you recommend a good How to to configure this print server so i can manage it remotely using a GUI [04:16] ActionParsnip: i have a copy of Alien Crossfire for Linux and it won't work on a modern box, the suggestion from anybody i talked to was "get the windows version and use wine" [04:16] rvn: wow, works well here. Its a sweet game :) [04:16] yes but that is through wine, no? [04:16] rvn: no the native demo game [04:16] if blizzard released a linux version that'd be bigger news methinks [04:16] Hi! Anoynoe knoes what´s up with hu.archive.ubuntu.com it seems gone down, or something? [04:16] rvn: definately [04:17] native demo game? [04:17] rvn: the day blizzard releases a native version id be happy [04:17] toon: change server in software centre, maybe its being maintained [04:17] i'm not seeing this in google, can you link me? [04:17] k thx [04:17] rvn: yes, penumbra has a free demo version [04:17] for some reason probly really retarded but I cant declare a frikkin function in my bash script it driving me nuts http://pastebin.com/YW5b46iq [04:17] Blizzard could release a linux version easily, i guess they just dont see enough market to put the customer support in place for it [04:17] ActionParsnip: oh that [04:17] IdleOne: can you recommend a good How to to configure this print server so i can manage it remotely using a GUI [04:17] ActionParsnip: i thot u meant WoW === IkeyDoherty is now known as ikey [04:17] rvn, ActionParsnip: Linux native for SC2 would be sweet [04:18] ActionParsnip: bluefever came in here saying the penumbra demos would not work at all for him and i suggested the windows version which will likely function more readily [04:18] okay. I untar'd it. Now I run ./configure and then make. Isn't there something else too? [04:18] hroberts, The reason that is hard is because Ubuntu server does not have a gui by default. You first have to install one (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:18] hroberts: maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ has some info [04:18] ActionParsnip: if you are able to get the demos to work on modern linux perhaps you should assist him [04:18] rvn: https://eu.battle.net/account/creation/wow/signup/ maybe [04:18] rvn: what's the nick? [04:18] thanks guys [04:18] ActionParsnip: bluefever, as i said [04:18] ./user.sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected [04:18] ui get this error, stf [04:18] make install (maybe?( [04:18] ./user.sh: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected [04:19] ActionParsnip: lol you noobhead - the "native linux demo" is using crossover, which is bundled wine [04:19] howdy all, having dvd issues. i have looked online and installed the relevant etc. suggestions. i dont get an error, just sits and never plays [04:19] ActionParsnip: it's "natively" bundled with wine.. [04:19] I do some work for Playnet, and thats the sole reason WWII Online never had a linux release, we actualy had a native test client up and running and it ran well, but there wasnt enough interest :( [04:19] Bluefever: hey man, you after penumbra? ok, what video chip are you using and are you running (or able to run) desktop effects ok? [04:19] rvn: are we wanting WoW or penumbra [04:20] ActionParsnip: bluefever wants penumbra demos to work [04:20] ActionParsnip: im talking about WoW tho [04:20] rvn: ok cool [04:20] One last question and Im out: Where is the setting to change the workgroup in ubuntu? [04:21] hroberts: the windows workgroup? [04:21] hroberts: i don't know if there's a GUI place to do it, but you can change it in smb.conf [04:21] mykal does the dvd drive work in another OS? can you boot from it like on the live cd etc? [04:21] how can I have a remote ubuntu system email me it's ip adress each time it connects to the net? [04:21] when I browse the network it shows as default, I would like it to say roberts [04:21] smb.conf thanks [04:21] skilz: i think you'd have to write your own program for that [04:21] I want some script so when my sister connects I get an email with her IP. [04:21] or script [04:22] installed not long ago fromn the same drive, trying another dvd in it now to test the disk [04:22] skilz you could sign it up for dyn-ip [04:22] skilz, well lets see. The easy part is the script, the hard part is activating it [04:22] so then I can ssh into her system [04:22] well you could activate it via.. erm.. what was that [04:22] there's a startup script in *nix.. [04:22] i'm rusty.. [04:22] skilz: do you want the WAN IP or it's LAN IP? [04:22] rc.. something [04:22] internet IP [04:22] rc_local [04:22] WAN [04:22] ? [04:23] she uses mobile broadband [04:23] Wiesshund: the linux startup script that you can piggyback commands and other scripts onto [04:23] skilz, You want her public IP so that you can ssh into the machine [04:23] HI [04:23] skilz just sign her of for free dyn-ip service [04:23] Wiesshund, another dvd, same issue [04:23] oops [04:23] skilz: why bother, just setup a no-ip account and install noip2 it will then refresh the IP in the account and you can use a name, just like you use names in your web browser instead of IPs [04:23] getting the wan ip adderss is easy, 3-6 lines in ruby [04:23] see it was me being retarded, sudo was killing me, rofl [04:23] Wiesshund, perhaps i have missed something [04:23] skilz: you could have it auto tunnel to you with openvpn then her ip would always be the same [04:23] mykal you got your liveCD handy? just quickly see if you can boot it? [04:23] I dont know the ip address but [04:24] txdv: its making life hard, could use a free dns service [04:24] Wiesshund, will try now [04:24] I have the computer her, I want to do all that before she gets it back and knows [04:24] skilz just use a dun-ip service then she will always be sisterpc.blah.com [04:24] skilz: you don't need it. Setup an account then install the client on the PC which will update the IP in the DNS at regular intervals so if the IP changes, you dont care [04:25] ah ok [04:25] so dyndns? [04:25] wiesshound, shrinking and then enlarging didn't work becuase the drive adjecent to the one I want to resize is a logical drive : http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4cjy9v0f2esyhjw&thumb=6 [04:25] skilz: with openvpn to your server it will also get past any firewall she hapens to be under at the time [04:25] http://www.dyndns.com/ [04:25] where can i download codecs? [04:26] skilz: I suggest no-ip as there is an ubuntu service which runs in the background to update the address.

[04:32] ok [04:32] I mean i got a suggestion but it's not the happiest one [04:32] Some_Person: usually you can just ignore it and it goes after a time [04:33] ActionParsnip: Not on Debian [04:33] reformat [04:33] Some_Person: system/preferences/power management, click on the "general" tab... and in "Notification Area" change it to your desired setting [04:33] Some_Person: if you'renot on debian, that sure looks like debian [04:33] lol [04:34] What is the version of python ubuntu 10.10 uses?

[04:35] me? [04:35] infectedbrain: personal preference.. i heard a joke that they called xchat-gnome "xchat-gnome", because "xchat-withallthefeaturesremoved" was to long.. :) [04:35] in your opinion witch is better [04:35] I use mirc of all things so just depends on which client you like [04:36] for some reason, when I click to play a movie with VLC it works fine, but if it opens with movie player, I can't see any video till I reboot?

C: means nothing in Linux [04:54] ubuntu is kickass [04:54] Winesshund. that would require doing to that to EVERY movie [04:54] cj23: any of those partitions can be C: [04:54] except .... its boring sometimes [04:54] well thanks [04:54] exit [04:54] infectedbrain on your tool bar is a force quit tool [04:54] bit hard when you have something like 2000+ pornos [04:54] infectedbrain: boring how? [04:54] the lower tool bar [04:54] skilz: anyone what? [04:54] skilz no you change the default app [04:54] sorry sda1 [04:55] ayecee, For some reason, when I play a movie with VLC it works fine, but if it opens with movie player 'which is the default video player', I can't see any video till I reboot? It's so annoying, because the default player for video is movie player, how can I change it to VLC so it stays that way? I want so fix it too so I dont have to reboot so watch video and put up with the black screen. [04:55] cj23: you really need to ditch the 'drive' mentality dude [04:55] cant find things to do.... my Windows 7 hard drive ..... has games..... and stuff.... ubuntu has no good games that i was able to find.... [04:55] Wiesshund, ? [04:55] ActionParsnip: Ok thanks. I'm trying to figure out why Ubuntu sees the WORKGROUP, but can't retrieve a list of pcs with shares. I already installed samba and smbfs...then checked smb.conf for the workgroup name there to make sure it matched. Still no joy and when I issue smbclient -L it gives me a NT_Server status error [04:55] compiz is cool tho [04:55] skilz right clikc a video file, and change its default app [04:55] infectedbrain: use wine and play the windows games in Linux [04:55] mellin: if you run: smbtree do you see PCs and shares? [04:55] skilz: system->preferences->preferred applications [04:56] cj23: if you can resize sda5 then sure [04:56] infectedbrain ubuntu has many good games, virtualy all your decent windows games to be exact, install wine [04:56] i can never get wine to work without crossover... plus the HDD im running linux on is only 40 GBs [04:56] infectedbrain: It wasn't really designed for "playing games" although you can pay to have software let you run and install pc games under linux [04:56] mellin: is the sharing PC running windows 7? [04:56] Fallout 3 doesnt work on wine [04:56] skilz: maybe if you uninstall movie player, if it doesn't work why keep it? [04:56] skilz: movie player makes my whole screen blink once, but otherwise it works. I'm not sure what it's up to. [04:56] No bethesda games do except for morrowind [04:56] ActionParsnip: Yes just a sec I need to check and see what smbtree tells us [04:57] infectedbrain: penumbra, urban terror, Doom3 all run 100% native [04:57] I need movie player to watch youtube [04:57] mellin: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/ [04:57] It doesnt let me resize sda5 [04:57] skilz: use minitube [04:58] riddick doesnt work.... i used to have a mac and i was an advocate for crossover....lots of my games dont work... and i have doom 3 installed on my windows drive....i wanted linux primarily to play open source games and to develop.... but yeah.... [04:58] skilz all you got to do is right click a movie file, and change the default app to the one that doesnt blank screen you === ikey_ is now known as ikey [04:58] bleh [04:58] ActionParsnip: Yeah I figured as much, I'm just trying with limited skills to figure out if it is related to firewall, or something else. Smbtree lists out the information, but for the wrong PC [04:58] infectedbrain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbm8j4D1wTU [04:58] mellin: it has a fix [04:58] infectedbrain: it does work [04:58] this channel almost has 1337 members [04:58] there are quite a few free open source games in software center [04:58] ActionParsnip: I will check out your link. Thanks for the help! [04:59] Wiesshund, Thats not really 'fixing' the problem, thats just working around it...

Wow.... lol i was using 1.1.2. but still i have FO3 on my windows Sata drive..... wanted open source games....do ya know any good ones... preferable made with SDL or open gl so i can learn a bit from the code [04:59] Is Ubuntu best for Linux?

Because I am not having that experience [05:00] ya i have quake on my windows side [05:00] skilz: I noticed that I didn't have the problem with nvidia's driver, but only with the nouveau driver that's the default in 10.10 [05:01] ActionParsnip: if I can't resize sda5, then you can't think of any other way? [05:01] Bjorn i think u still need drivers [05:01] oh, where can I acquire them [05:01] id software released source code for doom heretic i think hexen, and quake. its on thier ftp [05:01] what are you using [05:01] I've done unsuccessful google searches [05:01] Really epic i love all those games [05:01] cj23: you should be able to, the secret with this sort of thing is to plan your partitions [05:02] ayecee, It's a HDMI video card, it gave me audio problems too, I didnt have sound, so I had to mute the hd audio device and install alsatools [05:02] well it's a usb sound card, but I have no other information other than Model: AD-AND01 [05:02] wait [05:02] bjorn find the chipset of the card and then look for drivers for those. i needed to do that with my wireless card [05:02] Model: AD-SND01 [05:02] infectedbrain mind you sourcecode doesnt include any level maps, or game assets of course [05:02] but you can see how the game engine works, mod it etc [05:02] i understand that. but i have the levels and i think doom builder 2 makes quake lvls [05:03] i have no idea how to find out the chipset [05:03] here's the funny thing though, it worked the first time I tried it [05:03] it just stopped working [05:03] well i am new to game programming learning SDL now.... but yeah.... suck to be all self taught ..... there is not 1 person i know besides my school IT guy who knows anything about programming [05:03] bjorn_248: lsusb will help identify it [05:04] bjorn yeah sorry past this point cant help ya.... im new to linux myself [05:04] it's ok, I have some experience [05:04] let me find those source codes [05:04] bjorn try typing lsusb in the terminal [05:04] I just installed xubuntu and had a terminal problem which is apparently bug 621927.

[05:05] maybe now I can figure it out on my own [05:06] infectedbrain which codes? [05:06] infectedbrain like doom quake etc? c++ [05:06] the doom source codes. and quake ones... i understand them not. [05:06] really? [05:06] hm. [05:06] or is it just C [05:06] Yeah, that's the plan. Its annoying that the terminal keeps saying its not fully functional. [05:07] Naeblis: I think I've had this. try adding to ~/.bashrc exprt TERM=xterm then try opening a terminal [05:07] nah im sure quake is c++ [05:07] i cant read c... but c__ has ben gaming industy standard since the 80s though right?

[05:13] Hey guys. I just installed ubuntu 10.10 on my workstation at the office and it seems like my ssh keys are being password protected automatically through ubuntu. I delete the key. Create a new one (rsa 2048 bit), ssh-copy-id the key to a server. Test it. Log out of the xsession and log back in. ssh back to the server and I am receiving "Enter passphrase for key '/home/jetole/.ssh/id_rsa.pub':" which has no passphrase applied and when I hit enter I am then ... [05:13] ... prompted for the password to login to the server hence my key is not being used. Also, after I log out and log back in, my public key (not the private key) now has the permissions 0644 which causes an alert from openssh client as well that I have insecure permissions on my key.

[05:34] bazhang, burg is grub. It adds OS icons [05:34] windows [05:34] 7zip sfx is a windows binary [05:35] gluonman, seems unrelated to compiz, you could certainly ask in #compiz though [05:35] yes [05:35] ayecee, The ultimate solution is that the glorified geeks at the Ubuntu development team should get back in that lab, close the door behind them and come up with better, less painful way to deal with packages, imho. -_- [05:35] agu10^: haven't the foggiest clue, sorry. [05:35] :/ [05:35] MadRobot: thanks for sharing. [05:35] anywhere I can ask?

[05:35] LinoSP|net: yes [05:35] bazhang, you're suggesting it's a pure coincidence that all my graphics completely broke at the exact same time that grub did? [05:36] ok [05:36] I'll try that [05:36] gluonman maybe silly question but is your gfx driver loaded? [05:36] ayecee: yes what? [05:36] LinoSP|net: yes, I recommend to install 10.10 or 10.04 [05:36] gluonman, there's not a connection that I can see. again compiz issues in #compiz , burg issues in their support forums [05:36] Wiesshund, may not be the silliest question, actually, because I kind of assumed it was [05:37] both???? [05:37] 7zip is similar to bzip2 .bz2 but slighly differing format [05:37] bazhang, you're not understanding that this is not a burg or compiz complaint/question. This is visual effects in ubuntu. [05:37] LinoSP|net: nah, that'd take far too much space. [05:37] gluonman, which would point to what Wiesshund asked [05:37] gluonman might wanna check its actualy loaded and not running in a generic default [05:38] bazhang, Wiesshund yeah, I'm on it. thnx [05:38] MadRobot: u think this is a painful way to deal with packages i remember when you had to do packages almost manually without synatic package manager [05:38] This might be somewhat off subject. My apologizes if it is. Is there any java ide's for complete noobs other then eclipse and netbeen that run on ubuntu? [05:38] LinoSP|net: if you're on a home system, 10.10 is probably the way to go.

A lot of those chats have 12+hr turnarounds. If you can find a mailing list, it might be a better venue. [05:44] but maybe linux is heading in that direction anyways? [05:44] $ smc Error : Screen mode creation failed Reason : Couldn't find matching GLX visual [05:45] ayecee: working on it a few days. They are in the chat just bumping over me. [05:45] rodneymillerpca: I'd suggest to post a proposed solution instead of a question, though. Takes to long to answer a question, but almost no time to say why your solution is wrong :D [05:46] well it looks like I am back [05:46] JMTek, LLC. audio controller [05:46] can't get it working === mattd123 is now known as __mattd__ [05:46] mykal An error message that has puzzled many a X user is "Couldn't find matching GLX visual" (or similar) — it means that the program tried to use a GLX visual that was not available on that X server. A possible solution is to change the color depth to something that supports the requested capabilities. [05:47] google hasn't helped [05:47] hi everyone [05:47] is there a generic usb audio module/driver I should be using? [05:47] bjorn_248: I imagine not. "X not working" queries don't work well in google. [05:47] well that's not what I wrotwe [05:48] ayecee: true however it is just a simple question as whee is it catching the wrong version number? You use to be able to just change it in one place and boom. Now it is hard coded so many odd ways. rofl [05:48] well, why did you write it here? :P post the symptoms, errors, etc. === __mattd__ is now known as mattd123 [05:48] I just bought a pnp dvd writer for my netbook. It's not working and I'm extremely new to ubuntu. Google hasn't helped much either [05:48] Wiesshund, so change my resloution. or try find a switch for the game [05:48] ???? [05:49] bjorn_248: for instance, I don't know whether your device is not recognized, is recognized but doesn't play audio, sets the computer on fire, nothing! [05:49] ok well, I have this usb sound card, I want to use it for ubuntu since my main card (Creative X-fi Xtreme) is unsupported, but it doesn't work right now, and I'm trying to get it to work [05:49] mykal yes, or verify you have your proper video drivers installed. nvidia right? [05:49] if I lsusb I see the device [05:49] few hours ago some upgrades installed via manager, and now i see that my pannels are transparent like windows 7 [05:49] or im crazy? [05:49] bjorn_248: same problem. what does "doesn't work" mean? what happens when you try? [05:50] (computer bursts into flames?) [05:50] Aleiex: maybe? [05:50] I can't play dvd's with any player nor do i see the dvd on the comp anywhere [05:51] kind of the same issue with my main internal sound card, but that is a lost cause...the forums told me that my specific sound card just does not work with anything (ALSA, OSS, anything)...when I try playing audio nothing happens, no sound, but the device appears in preferences, sound [05:51] Aleiex i cant say as mine are always like that because of compiz [05:51] !dvd | beautifulmiracle [05:51] beautifulmiracle: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [05:51] Wiesshund Iknow, i have active transparency in compiz, but it affect all [05:51] even the words [05:52] bjorn_248: how are you testing? [05:52] bjorn_248: i.e. with what program are you testing? [05:52] I'll check that out thanks [05:52] two methods...the "Test" button in Preferences sound, and also I have an mp3 file that I am trying to play, I realize that not playing a file might be caused by the player, but no system sounds are happening either, so I'm assuming it's the system [05:53] Wiesshund, yes. nvidia, followed the install of the ubuntu help forums [05:53] Aleiex might be your emerald theme, not sure though [05:53] Is it possible the watch a movie in console wtih mplayer and also have irssi running behind it? [05:53] bjorn_248: checked the mixer settings, I guess? alsa mutes devices by default, it seems [05:53] I got the mplayer console movie part happening... [05:53] mykal try lowering the video settings of the game, if that doesnt work, make sure your video driver is active [05:54] where can I access the mixer settings ayecee [05:54] any fortran ide for linux and maybe specifically ubuntu? [05:54] the game wont start for me to get that far, just lowered the desktop settings, no joy [05:54] any fortran ide for linux and maybe specifically ubuntu? [05:54] bjorn_248: there's usually a volume icon in the upper right, can also find it in system->preferences->sound [05:54] any way to check keys form keyboard? [05:54] nmvictor, apt-cache search fortran should show [05:55] mykal dont know the specifics of your game, but it must have a config file someplace where you can edit resolution etc [05:55] i have no volume button in the upper right, also nothing like that in preferences sound [05:55] mkaay_, what game are you trying to run? [05:55] Wiesshund, will have a look [05:55] bjorn_248: nothing like what? [05:55] no mixer [05:56] bjorn_248: do you have a volume slider in system->preferences->sound? [05:56] output volume yes [05:56] that's a mixer. [05:56] ah [05:56] do you have an output tab? [05:56] yes [05:57] which device is selected for output? [05:57] I've selected the correct hardware, and tried every output module, as well as selecting the correct hardware in the output tab [05:57] mOHawk, The problem is that not all project make their public key (if any) easily visible. [05:57] projects* [05:58] I would like to know if there is a generic driver I need to make this work [05:58] what is equivalent of registry editor for ubuntu? docky is starting on my external monitor and i want it to start on my laptop monitor. i remember fixing this by going into something like a registry editor for ubuntu [05:58] bazhang, gives me some compilers, GNU compilers and alot of other stuff like lib packages, no specific line talking of IDE. Do people still use fortran? I hate our curriculum, [05:58] bjorn_248: it sounds like you already have the generic driver, otherwise it wouldn't show up at all. [05:58] ayecee maybe its muted in alsamixer ? [05:58] alrighty, so then my problem is an alsa module? [05:59] Wiesshund: is that more different than gnome mixer? [05:59] bjorn_248 you said it worked once right? [05:59] yes, when I first plugged it in, for a very brief period [05:59] ayecee yea kind of, you run it in terminal and it has settings you cant normaly see [06:00] bjorn_248 there is the possibility it is defective, have you tested it in another machine or OS? [06:00] alright I'm in alsamixer but it won't let me pick the usb card because " This sound device does not have any controls. " [06:00] Hi.

So far pressing continue has only lead to more messages.

[06:35] !sound | hunting [06:35] hunting: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.

[06:36] DasEi: wanting to know if someone knows how to write a C wrapper to sleep / suspend a computer so i can add it to my script, so I dont have to keep giving my password for pm-suspend [06:36] raviepic3: success ? [06:36] hunting: what happens if you start a sound player, like totem? [06:36] my python path doesn't include dist-packages, which is where pip installs packages to. Anyone know how I can add that to my system python path? [06:36] colonas: They'll play. No sound, though [06:36] needlez: are the acpi tools/libraries not enough? [06:37] hunting: I suggest you follow the path outlined by ubottu. [06:37] colonas: My sound was working. I was setting up a backport to get my mic working. When I restarted, nothing could find either device [06:37] not really, I think you helped me yesterday with the C wrapper for shutdown [06:38] colonas, Okay. Thanks. [06:38] needlez: that was a shell script, not a C program. [06:38] needlez: you could try shutdown -H for sleep, and then call the script initally as root (sudo) [06:40] greppy: im trying to write a script that tells totem to close after so long but then after close for it to put the computer to sleep ... only the issue is that it requires root priveleges for suspend commands and for shutdown commands, so I had someone help me make a c wrapper that does the same thing as shutdown and added it to me as users. any ideas?? [06:40] According to this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/srtp, srtp should be a valid package, but trying to apt-get it gives me "Couldn't find package srtp" [06:40] needlez: you could have sudo not require a password for those commands from your username. [06:41] DasEi: still requires root so no good [06:41] greppy: I don't want to remove my password because while this is my laptop that posses a security risk [06:42] needlez: your user password won't protect your laptop, only full disk encryption will. [06:42] needlez: I thought you started the script manually, and then can leave it unattended [06:42] needlez: you don't remove the password, you just don't require a password for sudo to shutdown or suspend the computer. [06:42] But on my (non-server) Ubuntu machine, it finds it just fine. [06:43] DasEi: yes thats what i want to do is start and go to sleep, and for the computer to automatically go to sleep after totem closes [06:43] No soundcards were found, and the fix they gave isn't working [06:43] needlez: for instance, this in your sudoers: "needlez ALL=NOPASSWD: /path/to/your/script" [06:43] greppy: ok so I can make it so pm-suspend no longer requires sudo?? or a password to run?? please explain [06:44] greppy: did that yesterday and broke sudoers [06:44] needlez: or: needlez ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend [06:44] anyone online good with basic javascript? [06:44] greppy: is there a way to change permissions of pm-suspend with chown or something like that?? [06:44] Guest15720: ##javascript [06:45] ty sir [06:45] needlez: so a while with totem's pid then close, call by sudo; to follow greppy : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=134968 [06:45] can anyone tell how to install matlab [06:45] No soundcards were found, and the fix they gave isn't working [06:45] needlez: yes... but that is really not a good idea. making the one commnad usable by your user with no password is a better option. [06:46] greppy: I was just going to change pm-suspend so it doesnt require root to run so then I can run it as normal from script [06:46] needlez: it needs root to run [06:46] ok [06:47] how would one hide the icons on a desktop? It has happened a few times when I let my friends use my system, but I can't seem to do it on purpose. [06:47] ubuntu 9.04 [06:47] if you add "needlez ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend" using visudo, you should be able to run "sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend" and it not require a password. [06:47] kk [06:48] needlez: both work, and even simpler : if you know the time, simple give it to shutdown, then lock the screen [06:49] hi [06:49] anyone heard of Gallium ? [06:50] DasEi: i have already told it to kill totem after 2 hrs but even so it still requires me to add something to shutdown or put it into sleep mode. For some reason gnome-power-manager is messed up on my computer [06:51] needlez: first try shutdown -H, which works different on different machines, (why no complete shutdown ?), then can : sudo shutdown -H -t 120, enter pas once once, then xscreensaver-lock [06:52] How do I force the BIOS to detect a hard disk. Its autodetect detects it as a 2Gb HDD and it is actually a 10Gb. I cannot get to the cylinders, heads and sectors fields to manually change it as I have done before. [06:52] needlez: neither there is an open rootshell then nor can the box be accesed without users pass [06:54] Ascavasaion: some reason can be true: jumpers on the hd, wrong bios setting, wrong table (make new one with gparted) [06:54] DasEi: This is in the BIOS/CMOS.

[07:01] Now developed my project about Artificial Inteligence [07:01] ok [07:01] raviepic3: sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm && sudo apt-get install gdm && sudo service gdm start [07:01] thanks [07:02] YANAwiro: lo siento - mi no se habla espanol muy bueno [07:02] raviepic3: first cmd will stop the desktop environment [07:02] How do I force the BIOS to detect a hard disk. Its autodetect detects it as a 2Gb HDD and it is actually a 10Gb. I cannot get to the cylinders, heads and sectors fields to manually change it as I have done before. It is an old machine, but I want to install a lightweight Linux distro onto it so my mother can surf a bit, and play MP3s. The motherboard has no discerning features either... no name, make, model, etc. [07:02] Welcome Anom, my heart and the all my brothers peruvian is open === Pinako|wet is now known as Pinako [07:03] visited too BOSQUE DE PIEDRAS DE HUAYLLAY [07:03] YANAwiro, check your PM [07:03] what is PM [07:03] Ascavasaion: wow that is an old machine [07:04] YANAwiro: another TAb in your messenger :) [07:04] Blue1: hehe :) [07:04] does ubuntu keep a record of the command line output beyond the scrollback? [07:04] YANAwiro, on the left [07:04] Hi all :) [07:04] Ascavasaion: if it is old enough, it may not support that large a disk. What kind of CPU does it have? [07:04] you'll see Anom_ [07:04] tehbaut: yes .bash_history [07:04] under #ubuntu [07:04] greppy: AMD Duron 900MHz [07:04] dasei: lz help me [07:04] tehbaut: no, but you can set how far the scrollback last and also there is a command history [07:04] tehbaut: the output? no. [07:05] tehbaut: just uparrow at the command line prompt and you can scroll thorugh it [07:05] YANAwiro, PM is Private Message [07:05] yuva: gedit is open ? [07:05] I need the output, unfortunately [07:05] Ascavasaion: it is entirely possible that it doesn't support a 10G hdd. [07:05] greppy: It autodetects another 20Gb HDD correctly... it is just this specific Fujitsu hard disk. [07:05] ...huh [07:05] dasei: yes.. then how to save and come back to terminal [07:06] Ascavasaion: should work, I put ubuntu 10.04 onto a compaq deskprro 733 mhz [07:06] DasEi : I can't understand [07:06] Ascavasaion: then it is possible that that drive and that bios are not compatible, it does happen. [07:06] yuva: menu on the left upper corner, save, close [07:06] excuse me... [07:06] Blue1: It will work, the moment I figure this BIOS out. Never had a BIOS where I could not manually tweak cylinders, heads and sectors. [07:06] greppy: Sigh... thank you. [07:07] Ascavasaion: you might try seeing if there is a bios upgrade [07:07] Ascavasaion: old drives often have jumpers,limitting capacity,too, see above [07:07] Ascavasaion: pm you ? [07:07] DasEi: I will have a look around. [07:07] Ascavasaion: what DasEi said [07:07] DasEi: Sure. [07:08] is there a way to visualize where data is on a partition? I need to see where a previous dd copy started failing due to errors [07:09] Hi, I have a code that I know is to wipe a hard disk permanently, how do I tell it to wipe a specific Hard Drive? And is it correct? ~$ sudo su /home/ubuntu # dd if = /dev/zero of=/dev/sda [07:09] the errors output got clipped by the scrollback [07:09] greppy: It is not a duron... I was mistaken.. it is an AMD Athlon 900MHz [07:09] Lovely. [07:09] I just overwrote I file that I didn't want to overwrite in my /home directory.... What's the easiest way to recover it? [07:10] Ascavasaion: since it works with the 20g, I am guessing it may be something specific to that drive or that drive and that bios together. [07:10] Eagle: not clear what your objective is... [07:10] dasei: there is no save option, only i have open terminal.open tab,close window.new profile:( [07:10] greppy: The Drive never detects properly in any machine... but on the other BIOSes I was always able to manaully enter cylinders, heads and sectors. This BIOS does not allow it. Extremely odd. [07:10] yuva: .. [07:11] yuva: gksudo gedit /etc/SomeFile, press the save button or save as in menu.. [07:11] [07:11] Blue1: The objective is to wipe my hard drive... Completely. [07:11] bobthemilkman: usually if you overwrite a file, then the file can't be recovered. afaik. if you delete a file, that can be recovered. I could also be wrontg, but that's been my experience [07:12] Eagle: you'd be doing this with a livecd then, yes? [07:12] Blue1: ya ;-) [07:12] Eagle: okay where I am confused is why you wanted to be in /home [07:13] Blue1: I believe it depends on where that file was on the drive, physically [07:13] DasEi: omg, i uninstalled the gdm, but not able to install using apt-get install because it not detecting my lan connection [07:13] tehbaut: true but finding that out can be tricky [07:13] i tried ifconfig eth0 up [07:13] even then [07:13] i am locked out now [07:13] help help [07:14] DasEi: thanks a lot [07:14] Blue1: you may want to look at http://www.dban.org/ [07:14] omw [07:14] how do i do a search by mime type? [07:14] can someone tell me how to create a datetime content type? === Guest59709 is now known as RaNdY [07:14] ahh thanks [07:14] bobthemilkman: you might still recover it... just not sure what software to use on linux... windows has Recuva, that's all I've ever used personally [07:14] Blue1: Thats why im asking for help I found the code on the net, forget which site, but It did not look right, so do you understand what im getting at? [07:14] vivian: touch -t STAMP, perhaps === RaNdY is now known as Guest5868 [07:15] DasEi you there ? [07:15] solofight: yupp [07:15] Eagle: well that would certainly write zeroes to the drive, if that's what your intention is. [07:15] DasEi: i am locked out of my linux gui now [07:15] solofight: new nick; the grub ? [07:15] cause i uninstalled gdm and not able to install it back cause of net connection [07:16] how do i do a search by mime type? [07:16] it not detecting my net lan conn, when i say apt-get install gdm it says failed to fetch [07:16] Err [07:16] solofight: ravi.. it is then [07:16] DasEi: yes [07:17] solofight: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [07:17] Blue1: Yes that is my intention, to write Zero's and one's to the hard drive. You see it second hand and I want all the info off it. What code would you recomend ? [07:18] Eagle: dd by /dev/zero, or for secure deeltition man wipe [07:18] Eagle: well the dd that you had would only write zeroes [07:18] Eagle: i use a tool thats part of a bootdisk called "UBCD" [07:18] DasEi: done, and then tried to ping, no good [07:19] solofight: sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0 [07:19] DasEi: i connect through lan now, [07:19] Blue1: What should I do? Write zero's only, one's only or the two of them? [07:20] Eagle: http://www.dban.org "DBAN prevents or thoroughly hinders all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis" === Guest41173 is now known as onre [07:20] its gpl [07:20] Eagle: I'd follow what DasEi has said [07:20] solofight: sudo dhclient [07:21] solofight: connection back ? [07:21] awesome DasEi dhclient did the trick, if i have not configured using dhcp how will i have recovered from this ? [07:21] how can i tell what cpu i have? in cmdline... syntax? [07:21] solofight: later, get desk back first [07:22] DasEi: yeah already hit apt-get install gdm [07:22] solofight: sudo apt-get install gdm && sudo service gdm start [07:22] fine [07:22] cache_surplus: cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:22] done, got it :) [07:22] thanks [07:22] you mean less? [07:22] cache_surplus: cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:22] DasEi: done :) got the desk :) [07:22] do you know a way to increase volume in video file?? [07:23] got it, less /proc/cpuinfo thanks [07:23] solofight: and now want eth0 for dhcp in regular ? [07:23] cat shows all, less shopws some info [07:23] ? [07:23] shopws? [07:23] Blue1: benjr: DasEi: Thanks I will be right on that >:-) :-)) [07:23] whats that [07:23] ohhhh shows, got it [07:23] really? [07:23] im scared of cat [07:24] i like more or less :) [07:24] safer [07:24] cache_surplus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:24] cat only outputs, it doesnt edit, no need ot be scared [07:24] DasEi: i want to know how would i have recovered from the situation where it did not detect my network, even when i hit ifconfig eth0 up [07:24] FloodBot k [07:24] ill think about it [07:24] DasEi: without using dhclient [07:24] solofight: ifup allows options , too, like dchp or static address, man ifup tells more [07:25] lol i @ cache_surplus i did that once in assembly in windows wrote a program to write to the cpu to change coding and forgot about the protect mode and gave me all the info about my cpu including serial number processor make, model etc [07:25] solofight: can you now unlock/alter your loginscreen ? [07:25] ??? [07:25] solofight: you would have needed to edit /etc/network/interfaces to configure eth0 [07:25] rollman: wow [07:25] DasEi: i am able to unlock but no options to change the login screen there [07:25] thats what i thought [07:25] Anyone know why dd starts fast but slows to a crawl on one of my drives? Even if I stop it and start again (seeking to a point beyond the existing copied data), it still starts out generally quick, but speed seems to rapidly degrade. I don't get it. [07:26] cache_surplus: cat /etc/cpuinfo > cpuinfo.txt, for catphobics [07:26] lolol DasEi [07:26] greppy: what should i type in that file ? [07:27] how do i do a search by mime type? [07:27] i think cat is faster than more or less, i mean at spitting out info, rather than paging through it [07:27] solofight: take a look at "man interfaces" and/or zless /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz [07:27] the only time i like to use cat is in DasEi's example or if im doing a grep, but really less does the same thing at my level of understanding [07:28] i couldnt tell the diff of cat and less, can anyone? [07:28] greppy: thank you on it [07:28] on a flat file i mean? [07:28] cache_surplus: most uses of cat and grep are redundant, just an fyi [07:28] cache_surplus: depends how long the file is [07:28] DasEi: same old screen there, able to unlock it but no options to change it [07:28] cat dumps output to standard output, less or more, are pagers. [07:29] greppy: my thoughts.. example i did a select * from a table in mysql, without setting pager to more/less and i was there for like 10 mins... waiting [07:29] i dont like the way less puts on a seperate page of sorts, that disappears again, usualy i need to use the information in ym next command, so its easier if tis still on the screen === jero_ is now known as pZombie [07:29] greppy: correct. [07:29] exit #ubuntu [07:29] oops [07:29] lol pZombie [07:30] cache_surplus: yup, been there and done that before :) [07:30] greppy: you know what i mean, lol [07:30] solofight: you will have to log out again and run gnome control-center then, quite usefull, a second box [07:31] DasEi: can se edit files in etc directly as in windows [07:31] yuva: yes, but systemfiles as in /etc have ownership of root, so call gedit with gksudo [07:32] !gksudo [07:32] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [07:32] do you guys suggest not loading both kde and gnome on one machine? or it shouldnt matter [07:32] oh and edubuntu [07:32] DasEi: so that we no need use termina. [07:32] cache_surplus: doesn't matter [07:33] cache_surplus: ive had both on a machine befire [07:33] ActionParsnip: it wont corrupt or something funky [07:33] solofight: so this connection will stay up while acting command line on the gdm-fuzzle ? [07:33] how to extract .tar.gz file ? [07:33] whats that hidden file called .something were you can change desktop managers on the fly? [07:34] DasEi: plz help i am new to ubunru.... [07:34] cache_surplus: you only run one environment a time, and mostly apart from performance the libs work togther [07:34] cache_surplus: you can install as many DEs as you like. You just choose which to run at logon [07:34] yuva: whats your question? in plain English, thanks [07:34] yuva: I do, but I didn't get your last question [07:34] ok [07:34] techbreak: tar -xvwzf myfile.tar.gz [07:35] but whats that file called? its .something in home dir [07:35] techbreak: for lazies : install the needed formats and unp [07:36] ok, now if i load up all 3 desktop managers, kde, gnome, edubuntu, what about my graphics config? [07:36] How do I perform a find by mime type? [07:36] NixGeek, DasEi it shows like this "extract `statusnet-0.9.6/Changelog'? [07:36] " [07:36] isnt kdm and gdm diff regarding how compiz is run [07:36] i installed drupal in ubuntu,,, so i need to create some files ,copy ,delete which is saved in /etc so plz hlp how to do yhis oeration. [07:36] or my nvidia.config [07:36] techbreak, its waiting for a yes or no, type "y" or "n" [07:36] cache_surplus: there is also openbox, lxde, fluxbox and xfce I can think of quickly. There are more than just Gnome and KDE available [07:36] ActionParsnip: i know, but im talking about those specifically [07:37] cache_surplus: gnome.conf problably, navigate to the dir you want to search and press ctrl+h to see the hidden files, or use locate (thou need exaact name then) [07:37] i installed drupal in ubuntu,,, so i need to create some files ,copy ,delete which is saved in /etc so plz hlp how to do this operation. [07:37] cache_surplus: i believe edubuntu uses gnome [07:37] techbreak: right sofar [07:37] DasEi: im a cmdline guy thanks for the hotkeys though [07:37] ActionParsnip: yah this is going to be a demo box [07:38] DasEi, nixjr its asking for each n every file [07:38] i just dont wan the xserver choking during switching [07:38] DasEi, nixjr alot of files are there... am I suppose to hit y for every thing ? [07:38] is there an authorized howto on switching between kde and gnome regarding xserver [07:38] yuva: as said, these files belong to root, so gksudo for graphical apps, sudo for terminal comands.. [07:38] opps and compiz [07:38] * beginer a [07:39] cache_surplus: edubuntu is a gnome desktop with some educational apps by default. Its not much different to ubuntu [07:39] hi i can't get my ntfs usb drive to mount properly. my fstab options are: rw,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 but still i cannot write to it. what am i doing wrong? [07:39] kde, gnome then, is my concern and xserver [07:40] and compiz [07:40] techbreak, the -f command should force it and it shouldnt be prompting you, if it is then im affraid im not sure howto help, im very new myself [07:40] yuva: cp = copy, mv= move, rm = remove (delete)carefull with that if you are new to it, better do it graphically so it deletes to the bin, and not to unrevorable gone [07:40] : i installed drupal in ubuntu,,, so i need to create some files ,copy ,delete which is saved in /etc so plz hlp how to do this operation. [07:40] Okay, so I accidentally overwrote a file that I didn't want to overwrite. I'm about to run Okay, so I've unmounted my /home, and I'm about to run "reiserfsck --rebuild-true -S -l /root/recovery.log /dev/sdb2", but is there a better way? Note that I don't have any 250GB drives just lying around that I could use to backup the drive. [07:40] Errr, a copy/paste in there made some strange English, but the problem remains. [07:40] here is my point, i dont think there is a quick simple switch ability, there is going to be a certain amount of extra configs each time or restarting of gdm or kdm,, so forth so on... [07:40] niklasfi: are you accessing it as the first user you made? [07:40] Can somebody help me with some sound problems [07:40] ? [07:40] techbreak: unless you gave the -y option, yupp, keep your console trained :) [07:40] lol [07:41] nixjr, i clicked "y" more than hundred times.. DasEi i gave the option... [07:41] whats the easiest way to launch a one-time long running program without it dying when my ssh session disconnects [07:41] yuva: drupal is not a standard package and there is much more to it than simple copy pastes [07:41] cache_surplus: that's fine, install away [07:41] that goes for joomla or any cms === sephy is now known as concon [07:41] devdrink_: screen [07:41] thanks [07:41] Does anyone know howto do a find based on mime type? [07:41] will man lookup [07:41] ActionParsnip: yes ... also apparently the permissions are rw,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 where ubuntu is uid=1000 ... and ubuntu should be gui=1000 [07:42] *gid [07:42] : cant i do it without terminal.. means just by right clicking the mouse ... [07:42] yuva: for your purpose: gksudo nautilus, if you're a former win user and want it quick and simple [07:42] !sound [07:42] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [07:42] does anyone have experience with xmonad? [07:42] ActionParsnip: i dont like your advice sorry, im a bit more detailed before i just install things, no offense. but i know better [07:42] cache_surplus: if you think so [07:42] I'll give you the quick answer. Type screen. Hit enter. You're now in a virtual terminal. Hit ctrl+a then ctrl+d to break out of the virtual terminal and back to a real one. Type screen -r to reconnect to a previously started terminal. Use the "exit" command from within the virtual terminal to kill it. [07:43] i know howto do a find, and howto display a mimetype, how can i link those two commands so it onyl finds those of a specific mime type? [07:43] matter of fact, if you know, great, if not, don't say a word. i have data at stake.. even though it will be a demo box [07:43] yah, i think so [07:43] devdrink_: You can read the docs if you want, and there's lots of interesting things (like running more than one at a time, using names for the terminals, etc.), but what I just told you is enough for you to do what you want. [07:43] so just screen command & [07:43] cache_surplus: I have never lost data due to installing a new window manager. [07:43] Can somebody help me with some sound problems? [07:44] greppy: i did [07:44] You might be able to do it that way. I'm not sure. I invoke it by typing "screen" then enter, then doing the commands from within it. [07:44] greppy: your special, you dont make simple mistakes [07:44] yuva: if you are so new to ubuntu, I wouldn't recommend drupal.. linux is fine, but one shouldn't take first lessons on driverlicense on a highway maybe, just an idea [07:44] does anyone know anything about the proxyPort connector attribute of the tomcat http connector? I read the reference and I'd just like to clarify a few things [07:44] cache_surplus: all you have so far discussed is installing more than one DE on the same OS which has been verified as ok. What else do you need [07:45] Can somebody help me with some sound problems? [07:45] cache_surplus: you also think edubuntu is a DE so I'm questioning your knowledge level [07:45] scroll up [07:46] hunting: I give it a try [07:46] hunting: open a terminal .. [07:46] DasEi: Open [07:46] hunting: sudo apt.get install pastebinit [07:46] anyone? [07:46] hunting: sudo apt-get install pastebinit * [07:47] So once again, if anyone has a better idea for me to recover this overwritten file from a reiserfs filesystem, please let me know as I'm about to run the --rebuild-tree with no backup :S [07:47] hunting: sudo lspci --vv | pastebinit [07:47] DasEi: for ma project i took it but i dont have time to chage now so.. [07:47] cache_surplus: i would but my irc client only stores about 20 lines, can you fill me in please [07:47] Wait a second. I can just backup the data to this computer. [07:47] xserver [07:47] issues [07:47] yuva: how did you install it ? from source or as deb ? [07:48] extra commands to get things running no problem, regarding compiz [07:48] again... [07:48] brb smoke [07:48] DasEi: http://pastebin.com/KuTK9gp9 [07:49] hunting: sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer [07:49] DasEi: Already have the newest version [07:50] hello.... anybody here? [07:50] hunting: sudo modprobe hda_intel [07:50] rober7: yes. [07:50] rober7: 1389 [07:50] cache_surplus: ease on the enter. It scrolls the channel. If you install kde you can switch the default kwin for compiz if you need to but kwin can perfom compoziting itself [07:50] DasEi: Not found [07:50] hey ... first time on xubuntu ... how can i chage screen resolution? [07:50] hunting: gnome-alsamixer [07:51] from deb [07:51] DasEi: Blank alsamixer window came up [07:52] Rober7: sure. You may need to configure drivers but ultimately yes [07:52] DasEi: as a deb [07:52] hunting: blank ? no sliders, meters, boxes ? [07:52] DasEi: Yep [07:52] yuva: so all dependencies should be fine then [07:52] ActionParsnip: found the problem: no ntfs-3g installed [07:52] close it again, hunting [07:53] hunting: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [07:53] I have a problem wiht hibernate (and not suspend) with my laptop,vostro laptop with (properly installed) nvidia 9300M GS graphic card. Suspend successfully works. Also it seems computer successfully goes into hibernate (data is writed to disk, and computer shutted down). but after boot up a clean login page appears (sessions lost). I enabled bootlogd but only few lines logged into /var/log/boot.log. [07:53] niklasfi: cool. Glad you got the gold [07:53] ActionParsnip: well i have not really tried it. but i guess it will help [07:54] DasEi: 0 upgraded, 0 installed, 0 removed [07:54] True [07:54] hunting: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-alsamixer [07:55] DasEi: Nothing [07:55] hunting: still empty window ?

Now I want to change the partition sizes without reinstalling everything. I was told gparted can do that. Is that correct ? Can my LIVE Ubunto Intrepid 8.10 CD's gparted do that safely ?

[08:59] i am try install coreldraw it's success but why don't run [08:59] no it wasn't installed before [09:00] can your help me :) [09:00] c0de_: maybe you need to contact the vendors of coreldraw; ask if ubuntu is a supported platform and why the software does not run [09:02] hi all. Is there some linux possibility to embed a video into a pdf? I mean, i want to create a pdf presentation which, on several slides, presents a video. I want to use pdf format because my file should be read by many computers [09:02] rUff3r: most likely you need to "redo" uptdate process after removing apache. [09:02] would someone know how to get the button tool bar back if i removed it to replace it with docky [09:02] i have lighttpd installed, so it kinda fucks my system up if apache runs. After the reboot apache started... [09:02] hmm... ubuntu does not support coreldraw? [09:02] ocean, :) [09:03] c0de_: it's commercial package, right? Ask the vendor of that package. [09:03] c0de_: also, v11 seems waaaay old!? [09:03] rUff3r: you can disable apache, but more interesting is to find what trrigered installation.

I removed it yesterday but I was freaked out that some1 got onto my pc.

[12:06] kusanagi, if you log out , then back in, do the symptoms persist ?

[12:09] shanet555: it makes more sense to not put an extension on a shell script, they're just executable files not files run through "sh" (sh is really vague) [12:09] kusanagi, i am guessing you have tried the live cd to compare!

Just don't put an extension, it's not required and honestly it's confusing [12:19] kusanagi: 329 line is worth to google, there is problem, all /usr/lib/libpixman do not look good. [12:19] jrib, shanet555 or make up your own extension, I find files without extensions to be confusing.

[12:20] venilsurya, no [12:20] knoppies: are you saying that there is no requirement for file extensions in linux? [12:20] venilsurya: only when done at full moon [12:20] shanet555: that's correct [12:20] bazhang: That's what I thought, but someone here swears by it [12:20] llutz:lol [12:20] You're probably right [12:20] shanet555, for the most part, your file extensions can be whatever you want, or even absent. It makes no difference to the file. [12:20] venilsurya, offtopic here try ##hardware [12:21] jrib: So how does the OS know what to do when you open a program as opposed to a text file? [12:21] shanet555: just conventions (like the one where things you execute usually do not have file extenions :)) [12:21] bazhang:ok, but I think llutz had the right idea [12:21] shanet555: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming) [12:21] Hi to all the good people !!! [12:21] Hi Desti [12:21] venilsurya: some guys do that to get dust/dirt off the ram-module contacts [12:21] shanet555, it tends to just be able to tell. I still put file extensions in, but for my benefit. [12:21] shanet555: the permissions on the file and if there is a #! line, denoting an interpretor like #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash or #!/usr/bin/perl [12:22] jrib: Thankyou === Gnea_ is now known as Gnea [12:22] greppy: I dont quite understand what #! is yet [12:22] shanet555: shebang [12:22] llutz: I use a paintbrush - won't an eraser leave off residue? [12:23] venilsurya: idk [12:23] venilsurya, please take chat elsewhere [12:23] shanet555: you'll get there, take a look at the advanced bash scripting guide.

And I cannot even find .asoundrc file in home directory ... How to fix sound? [12:23] greppy: It would only confuse me. I have only just started learning bash :S [12:24] bazhang: No I won't [12:24] i'm having trouble making a start up script for xmonad. I've edited the .desktop files to point to a script that just says "exec xmonad", but when i login it just boots the normal ubuntu interface.

[12:25] shanet555 : i m talking about ! shebang [12:25] shanet555, # is a comment line, but #! is something more important. I think you should look at a shell script tutorial to get a good understanding. [12:25] knoppies: Where can I find that?

I will see if I have a bookmark for an easy tut. [12:26] bazhang, will i need to reconfigure GRUB, or will it be done for me? [12:26] knoppies: brilliant.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [13:49] DasEi: i booted into livecd ubuntu 10.04, resized my main (ubuntu) partition just fine, installed winxp onto newly created ntfs partition. it proceeded to screw up my mbr, and would only boot into winxp [13:50] so my process at that point was trying every method to repair the mbr, reinstall grub, etc [13:50] Has anyone an idea how to setup a network bond and bridge? [13:50] so far i've run into hangups at every stop. results so far have included: boots into grub itself. also, boots into black screen. [13:50] ngrstan: ah, so first few steps back, after resizing, did you adjust /etc/fstab ? [13:51] DasEi: i did not. i used gparted to change the size of the main partition and add the new ntfs partition [13:51] santhust: delete the partition and also delete its entry in fstab and reboot [13:51] can i delete swap partition to create free space for /home/usr [13:51] currently gparted, ubuntu installer, etc, all show the partitions just fine. [13:51] sorry /home/username [13:52] ngrstan: so way to go is than, boot live cd, get the (now changed) uuids from your resized linux-partitons, correct fstab and device.map, chroot into the system, re-install grub and install os-prober [13:52] santhust: yes, but you're gonna need swap space if you run basically anything that needs scratch space, or if you use hibernation [13:52] then* [13:53] !blkid | ngrstan [13:53] ngrstan: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [13:53] anyone please.. can i delete swap partition to create some free space for /home/username [13:53] the current uuid appears to be correct, or at least its what i've pulled up in the console [13:53] santhust: yes, but you're gonna need swap space if you run basically anything that needs scratch space, or if you use hibernation [13:53] !grub [13:53] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic).

(windows users switching) [13:53] i said grub, i meant grub2 [13:54] ngrstan: the first link from !grub details how to chroot, but first the ""new"" partitons must be found again [13:54] the ubuntu install is meerkat, i'm on a lynx livedisc, if that is relevant [13:54] actually installed ubuntu on 4GB pendrive.. now running out of space.. :( [13:54] yoshcoooo: how about symlinks in /usr/bin ?

[13:55] santhust: my advice, start removing stuff you don't need, switch to alternatives - e.g. gnome to openbox to cut down on application's software footprint [13:55] hi everyone. can anyone help me? i can't start liferea clicking from the icon neither from terminal. [13:55] santhust: how big is your current swap space? [13:56] adi11: did you accidently uninstall it? [13:56] no its is there.

[13:59] yoshcoooo: oh wait new idea, aliases in your bashrc [13:59] MrUnagi_: You could use screen & then run the cp within screen [13:59] DasEi, yea [13:59] !screen | MrUnagi_ [13:59] MrUnagi_: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [13:59] ty [13:59] nacho2k: from passwordsafe.sf.net? last I heard 64bit is broken for it, they are aware and working on it.

So, i believe that there is an installed package conflicting. What is the easiest way to compare installed packages ? Can I list installed packages to a txt file and then use something [14:01] like diff ? [14:01] In nautilus, I do a search and enter *.png. I know in subfolders there are png files, but it does not find anything. [14:01] GHH: so go ahead then, I'm up too long for now for new adventures, that you can do, but once you burned a cd, there are no more remaining changes , yes possible.. I recommend you a usb for such things, instead of waisting cd's [14:01] greppy: thanks! I will take a look on them! really appreciate your info!

[14:04] aeon-ltd: i googled, but haven't found some thing good/ok/better.. [14:04] santhust: not really, besides using gparted to edit them [14:05] aeon-ltd: can i do this while running ubuntu itself? [14:05] aeon-ltd: will there be any mounting problems etc.? [14:05] santhust: i suppose so, but i wouldn't call that 'safe', corruption may occur when editing [14:06] santhust: no, the uuids of the partitions remain the same, unless you delete them; resizing them doesn't change the uuids [14:06] hi guys, how can I shutdown samba service ? === ziro` is now known as Guest17674 [14:06] aeon-ltd: ok.. thanks very much... :-) [14:07] lighta: 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop' iirc [14:07] santhust: ok, hope it works out [14:07] lighta: sudo stop smbd [14:07] aeon-ltd: i'll see what can be done.. thanks again :) [14:07] <_steve> lighta, or 'sudo service smbd stop' [14:08] santhust: ok [14:08] thx guys =) [14:08] hi [14:08] lighta: and for the winbind --> sudo stop nmbd [14:09] ok, so i have both dpkg-selections text files, can someone here explain to me how to use a cli program (maybe diff ?) to compare them, so I can find out what is different between both servers [14:09] Hiyas all [14:10] dslip: diff file1 file2 [14:11] dslip: diff -u file1 file2; or you may want a gui diff program like meld [14:11] dslip: meld file1 file2 [14:12] how solve this /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lQtGui ? === gaveen_ is now known as gaveen [14:13] tomatto_: installing the qt loibraries dev packages [14:13] !compile | tomatto_ [14:13] tomatto_: Compiling software from source?

[14:39] for NVIDIA it does that and then later jockey gives you the option to install the proprietary drivers later on [14:39] FOR it to understand i unplugged my VGA cable [14:40] Squarism: why do you need that? If you unplugged it, you unplugged it. What do you want ubuntu to do? [14:40] SmokeyD, it doesnt detect it somehow [14:41] SmokeyD, so, the opensource driver should be used as default then?

[14:56] Sometimes when I wake my netbook up from sleep (in Jaunty), my konsole window no longer accepts right clicks. The rest of the desktop does. And if I close and reopen konsole, right click works again? Anyone else? Ideas? [14:57] dbm, get a lighter weight ubuntu. Either with xfce (xubunt) or LXDE (Lubuntu) I had to to LXDE on this box [14:57] dbm: how much is ur ram? u have compiz enabled? if you have low memory, I would suggest u to downgrade Ubuntu to lower version [14:57] Combatjuan: sounds like a bug, report it [14:57] dbm: xfce is great [14:57] ubuntusage: 1gb ram, Amd spemron 3000+ NX6600 LE graphic and i dont have compiz enabled..

[14:58] sempron* [14:58] nishttal2: I don't see anything for that package either. Do you have issues if you boot from an older kernel? [14:58] aeon-ltd: I suppose it probably is, but I'm not sure whose bug it is. Another thing that seems to correlate is that holding down a key no longer repeats. If I type "$xset r on", then that comes back. [14:59] Combatjuan: Jaunty reached its end-of-life on October 23rd 2010. You really should upgrade. [14:59] So I don't know if it's konsole, or Qt, or gnome/qt or X or what that is causing the problem. === T42 is now known as WoolyMammoth [14:59] dbm, in a terminal, type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop and then on ligin choose the session type (at the bottom of the login screen once you choose your username) and change it to xfce [15:00] Pici: I've been meaning to, but haven't found a compelling enough reason. [15:00] How do i play an avi movie over internet. I have it on my webserver under http://myip/vids/somevid.avi. If i open it in firefox or totem, then nothing happens. Its not because totem cannot play the file, because when i have it stored locally it plays fine...but served via http it works not. How do i then do it? [15:00] Combatjuan: Perhaps this is that reason ;) [15:00] Combatjuan: hmm, you may aswell report it under konsole, then test the others, if other terminals follow, then its probably X or udev not redetecting hardware inputs [15:00] I've installed 10.10 but it only boots to the command line. [15:00] Pici, i havent tried booting in the old kernel yet [15:00] Pici: Indeed. (-8 [15:00] Pici, aeon-ltd: Thanks. [15:01] Diverdude: you should install some script that that will alow u to play movie on server, eg : ffmpeg , I guess [15:02] do i need to install some packages to use Eclipse for C and C++ programming? it says Eclipse for Java. [15:03] Hello, why is my netbook so slowly? [15:03] Pici, i just noticed that when this happens a process called plugin-container takes up 100% of the CPU [15:03] Pici, any insights?

That's not what you want to do. [15:07] !upgrade > dtcrshr [15:07] dtcrshr, please see my private message [15:07] oh i see [15:07] dtcrshr: LTS by default will only try to upgrade to another LTS.

[15:39] Alex: from htop you can also tell how much ram is there at all, and what is currently eating it up how much cpu is in use [15:39] i defragged yesterday [15:39] One more thing, what can I use for primary video editing, like spliiting a video, joining videos, put copyright text, cut some part of a video etc [15:39] Krishnandu: "convert" is the command line swiss-army knife from imagemagick suite [15:39] jrib, Thanks [15:40] Krishnandu: pitivi or kdenlive [15:40] ibrahim: is there a README inside? it could be like ./autogen.sh or ./configure to start with, then make, then 'sudo checkinstall' to create a deb and install [15:40] ne2k, Thanks... [15:40] bhaveshnande: no, it depends what partitions you tell the install process to use. [15:40] ffmpeg, if you like syntax-fuzzle, Krishnandu [15:40] DannyButterman: I really dont get u :( [15:41] bhaveshnande: it will replace the partition you specify [15:41] DannyButterman: hmmm it will replace it with a newer ubuntu right? [15:41] DannyButterman: or only grub? [15:42] bhaveshnande: besides, if you tell it not to format the choosen partition, you will keep your data === JimJastaJay_ is now known as JimJastaJay [15:42] alex:any hints yet ? [15:42] ne2k: after writing data in the new partition (5 hrs from now), will it need other operations as long as this? [15:42] DasEi: no [15:42] bhaveshnande: it depends on the installer-medium wherever that is newer or older than the existing ones on the hd [15:42] bhaveshnande: it will replace it with the ubuntu version burned on the install disc (10.10 if you will) [15:42] afk [15:43] alex: what does htop show ? [15:43] hello [15:43] afk [15:43] sorry [15:43] bhaveshnande: is it clearer now ? [15:44] DannyButterman: Ok so I want to use grub from my ubuntu installed on sda5 partition so all I have to do is start the installation process and install new ubuntu on sda5? [15:44] bhaveshnande: yes [15:44] DannyButterman: And format a partition to delete unwanted ubuntu.. [15:45] bhaveshnande: yes [15:45] bhaveshnande: yes, and can also choose no new grub and add the new install manually to the existing grub [15:45] DannyButterman: ok ty :D [15:45] bhaveshnande: or interchange grub1 and 2 as you like [15:45] DasEi: "and can also choose no new grub" ? [15:46] postgresql shows installed but pgsql command doesn't work [15:46] bhaveshnande: at the end of an install, can proceed with no grub installation, yes [15:46] DasEi: ok got it ty :D [15:46] anyone: after moving old data to make space for the new partition (5 hrs from now), will it need other operations as long as this? [15:46] bhaveshnande: so if there is one, can add the install manually, too [15:46] i'd like to use ubuntu this evening... :( [15:47] mtt: The harddrive resizing process is longest operation. [15:47] Trying to boot Ubuntu 10.04.1 x64 on my laptop via USB drive. [15:47] Now someone for my screensaver problem ? [15:48] ok, thanks pici. [15:48] DannyButterman: repeat your question ? [15:48] Hello everyone. I have a problem: I read with difficulty the characters on the screen which does not happen on windows. how can I fix? thanks. === jryda_ is now known as ___jryda_ [15:48] It dumps me to a shell and tells me it can't find a live file system. [15:49] DasEi: The problem is that *sometimes* I can't exit the screensaver. I may hit ctrl Alt and F1 for a text mode shell but that's all. Then if I go back to F7 I can exit the screensaver [15:50] DasEi:Very annoying [15:50] <___jryda_> how to run svn...hmmm [15:51] DannyButterman: so your pc freezes while the saver is up, first idea disable saver, secondly check files : [15:51] DannyButterman: /var/log/syslog /var/log/Xorg.0.log [15:51] DasEi: No it doesn't freeze, the screensaver is alive, the 3D animation is running. I just can't exit it the usual way. [15:52] DannyButterman: is it set to ask for pass ? [15:52] under: Please be more specific. For example, are the characters are too small? The font is off makes an "L" look like a "1"? [15:53] DasEI: not even. it should exit straight [15:53] jrib, Can't this batch conversion be done from GUI?? I guess no GUI is installed with imagemagick [15:53] how do I completely remove firefox with all its plugins and reinstall [15:54] the plugin container is killing my machine [15:54] DannyButterman: do you know which particular saver you are using ? xscreensaver, gnome-screensaver... [15:54] Gotta go, bbl [15:54] nishttal2: can you access the package manager though ? [15:55] DasEi: gnome-screensaver. And keyboard and mouse are wireless [15:55] lspci finds my webcam, but I cant get it to be recognized by cheese or skype: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556192/ [15:55] nishttal2, yes [15:55] DannyButterman: aharr, that will be it, options in the enrgy/ahcpi management [15:56] Will installing ubuntu destroy my existing boot loader? [15:56] Hi, How to launch "keyboard shortcuts" from commandline? [15:56] DasEi: Isn't it strange that I can go text mode though ? [15:56] i have a question concerning installation of libraries - i installed a library called zlib (compression) 1.2.5 and after this i am not able to compile the player project anymore (the library libplayertcp.so needs version 1.2.0 obviously and cant find one of the functions). so how could i get back to the old version? [15:56] DannyButterman, yes i can [15:56] irc.freenode.net/#osmocom [15:56] DannyButterman: yes it is, maybe wrong thought [15:57] nishtall2: then look for firefox there and ask for it to be removed completely (right click on these elements) === ___Dice-Man___ is now known as Dice-Man [15:57] agentgasmask: run: gnome-keybinding-properties [15:57] DannyButterman, would that break anything in Gnome [15:57] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee_%28media_player%29: "Separate library locations for music, videos and podcasts." What are the pathes of these 3 library locations in Banshee 1.8.0? [15:57] IdleOne: Thanks! :) === Dice-Man is now known as Guest14838 [15:58] is there any way I can make the resize window areas bigger? [15:58] nishttal2: as far as I can tell, no. Anyway it will ask you for all dependancies, no worries [15:58] it seems to be about 1 pixel currently [15:58] lspci finds my webcam, but I cant get it to be recognized by cheese or skype: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556192/ any ideas? [15:59] IdleOne: Ooops, I ment "system - pref - keyboard" [15:59] DasEi: What options in BIOS ACPI should I look for ? [15:59] agentgasmask: gnome-keyboard-properties [15:59] DannyButterman: strange least , wireless will be usb, other actions work though, so it isn't something in that direction then [16:00] IdleOne: Sweet. Thanks alot! :) [16:00] any idea? [16:00] I can't create backup disks for my laptop system restore (HP wont let me make disks) and I wanted to install ubuntu, will allowing the bootloader to install onto my primary(only HDD) kill the system restore stuff? I.E. not let me access the windows recovery partition [16:00] DasEi: And I should not be the only one in this case... :/ === Dotoff is now known as Dotted [16:01] DannyButterman, did that and reinstalled.. it retained all my settings and plugin-container is still killing me [16:01] question number 2, how the hell do I get a standard path view in nautilus? [16:01] DannyButterman: I have no certain clue, run gmome-screensaver from commandline to see possible output.. a cron job for re-loading usb, no real clue but disable it, sorry [16:01] Hilarie: it shouldnt. Ubuntu detects all operating systems and adds them to the boot mn when its installd. [16:02] @dageek247 thank you [16:02] nishttal2: are you *sure* you did a full removal, I mean not the usual one, but the full uninstall option you see when you right click [16:03] DannyButterman, yes.. mark for complete removal [16:03] привет [16:03] всем [16:03] UrKo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:03] Is it possible to install ubuntu w/o a boot loader so I could use a utility in vista to add it to the existing boot loader? [16:04] (to be on the safe side) [16:04] DannyButterman: maybe try another screensaver just, (xscreensaver, ktux.. and others) [16:04] v10.04 server, 64bit. Failed on installation of kxsldbg-0.4. Was installing it as part of a web development application. Error at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556198/ [16:04] nishttal2: I'm sure it would remove your profile but it doesn't seem to. do that uninstall process once again, and then remove your .mozilla folder (hidden one) in your home directory [16:05] Hilarie: i belieeve ubuntu gives you the option of not putting its bootloader in yes. [16:05] is there a better location to ask about webcam issues (uvc etc) [16:05] Hi all, I'm trying to setup a key-based SSH login between a ubuntu desktop 10.04 and ubuntu server 10.04. I had it working, and then decided I wanted to change my password, so i deleted the id_dsa (and .pub) from my local computer, and removed authorized_keys from the remote computer... Now after trying to reconfigure the keys I am no longer getting prompted for my public key password [16:05] DasEi:I will. Thanks anyway for your help/ [16:05] @dageek247 Thanks again [16:06] Being able to get on the internet while installing an operating system, is the most amazing thing ever === don is now known as Guest43247 [16:11] e ai!!!

Things were so stable with my nVidia card, but now that I have a new laptop with i915, this is totally unstable. HELP? [16:18] ayecee: Not without some kind of kernel patch then? [16:18] undecim: or magic, yeah. [16:18] una consulta [16:18] Well is the kernel at least smart about swapping? Will it try to swap the least-used bits of ram? [16:18] undecim: yes [16:18] sorry, a have a q [16:18] is there a app for system management? [16:18] ayecee: Okay, that should suffice then.

[16:21] True! [16:21] kilinkis: free cds are available to individuals. companies would order cds from the online shop: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17 [16:22] kilinkis: companies could also download ubuntu and prepare their own cds. [16:22] Is there a way to make it so my wireless thingy on my laptop doesn't flash with network activity [16:22] kilinkis: i would suggest a network install instead. === Guest41713 is now known as RaNdY [16:22] kilinkis: It's probably most cost-effective to burn your own [16:23] DaGeek247: I imagine he's thinking of professionally printed CDs.

[16:39] IdleOne: I hadn't...I presumed it was a permissions problem [16:40] Ayecee: its builtin. I noticed that, but I wasnt sure how to correct it [16:40] purpz: looks like a permissions problem but i am wondering why those two .tcl files went missing. #eggdrop probably can help explain it [16:40] llutz: to close cd-rom using terminal what can we do? [16:41] irishman2020: that's bad news then. It's likely that the uvcvideo driver doesn't play well with your camera, and there's no easy way to fix that, I think.. [16:41] is there a BlueDevil ppa?

Still though, starting that doesn't seem automount USB-drives, and that's what gnome-volume-manager was for if I understand it correctly.. [17:44] Pici: thx for info [17:44] coz_: ok, good [17:44] shawnboy, it might help to know which video card this is lspci | grep -i vga [17:45] my internet is so slow!! fecking ireland [17:45] aioobe_: for automount go: gconf-editor > apps > nautilus > pref...

[17:46] aioobe_: you can use a different WM and still use GNOME... [17:46] aioobe_: i used to use GNOME with Xmonad [17:46] maco: okay [17:46] aioobe_: you still have have Sound in menu (drag it to get command). [17:46] hmmm [17:46] Youtube changed their homepage and now won't play. Ideas, anyone?? [17:46] shawnboy, ok I am not even close to an ati expert... if it is a video issue you may want to go to #radeon but I would also ask again here for help with that [17:47] hi all [17:47] maco: I realize this because all my gnome-themes etc still "work"... [17:47] Hello! My dpkg is broken. I updated ubuntu today and during install cron got broken [17:47] dpkg-reconfigure cron [17:47] stop: Unknown instance: [17:47] dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: couldn't identify the package [17:47] grullers: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:47] this allows me to get back into my system, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/516684/comments/3 how do i fix my problem fully? [17:47] coz_: I may try what has solved problems w/ATI in past... uninstall and reinstall. But it's annoying that an "update" would cause this. Thanks. [17:47] grullers, ok try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [17:48] shawnboy, i agree [17:48] coz_, then it says you first have to do a dpkg-reconfigure -a [17:48] and then the error comes again [17:48] shawnboy: if part of the install is a kernel module, and you updated kernels, then it is entirely possible. [17:48] <[bean]> grullers do gconf-cleaner [17:48] hi [17:49] how big is the chance i'll have issues after upgrading from one release to another? [17:49] im new with linux, i have it on my virtual box [17:49] do i need to install gfx drivers [17:49] ? [17:49] greppy: the latest kernel stops at black screen. Previous kernel boots but in low graphics with X error. [17:49] [bean]: still getting the same message [17:49] [bean], I'll try [17:50] Michal31337: you need virtual box's addons installed inside guest OSes to get those [17:50] this allows me to get back into my system, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/516684/comments/3 how do i fix my problem fully? [17:50] guys , I installed kubuntu-kde and that changed some of the appearances in my gnome desktop [17:51] for example , firefox's menu bar (the one containing file,edit,view) got it's text changed to black [17:51] [bean], Is not installed and if i want to install it i have to do a dpkg-reconfigure-a [17:53] bye. going to tinker. [17:53] maco: thx man [17:53] hi [17:54] hey guys, i accidently deleted /var/cache ... shame on me ;) ... but how can i fix it? [17:54] hello [17:54] how big is the chance i'll have issues after upgrading from one release to another? [17:54] I am installing Ubuntu but it causes some problems [17:55] Does anyone know of a good utility I could use to easily view windows registry hive files that aren't my own? I don't really want to import these files into my own registry. [17:55] http://www.google.de/#hl=de&source=hp&q=dpkg-reconfigure+cron&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&fp=4d9f1e7e21e257ea but i can't find a solution? [17:55] multiplatinum: 50/50 maybe 90/10 backup your important files [17:55] <[bean]> gharz: try this sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys (((Put the hex from the gpg error here))) [17:55] IdleOne, how come there is 50%? or even more? [17:56] [bean]: ok i'll do that [17:56] multiplatinum: depends on your hardware [17:56] hey guys, i accidently deleted /var/cache ... shame on me ;) ... but how can i fix it? [17:56] maco, elaborate [17:56] hai all, is there any command to take screen shot from terminal === illusionz is now known as impreziv [17:57] brijithmac: import screenshot.png or .jpg or whatever you like [17:57] evening all [17:58] brijithmac, maybe gnome-screenshot -d 5 or look at man gnome-screenshot === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [17:59] coz_: but i don't want a gui [17:59] brijithmac: scrot === fork- is now known as forkup [18:00] multiplatinum: ati and nvidia drop support for older graphics cards every now and then. if yours was one of them, it may be a release or two before it gets full functionality back through a generic driver. intel doesnt do this with their graphics, but there have been race conditions for them... whether your stuff will work with a new release kinda depends a lot on whether someone with the same hardware was active in testing and following up with developers [18:00] on issues during development time [18:00] Most common java runtime used on ubuntu? Package name please. [18:00] multiplatinum: the intel race condition im thinking of was in 10.04... sometimes you needed to reboot once or twice to get it to reach the login screen :-/ [18:00] brijithmac: import will change cursor to grab area to screenshoot; import -window root file.png will create screenshot of complete screen [18:00] <[bean]> grullers: seems the error you are getting is a known bug in debconf package [18:01] maco, ok, i'll do a clean install then, but then the option to upgrade to a newer release shouldn't be available if it's so risky [18:01] multiplatinum: um...its not that upgrade is more risky than new install really [18:01] [bean], yes but is this bug fixed yet? and how do i fix my problem? [18:01] multiplatinum: its that new releases *period* are only as good as the testing that was done [18:01] maco, oh, then i'll do an upgrade [18:02] multiplatinum: play with a live cd first to check it out if you want to be safe [18:02] hello folks. I am running 10.10, and after a recent upgrade I can no longer browse my local network. Nautilus simply fails. Anyone else have this issue? [18:02] ok maco [18:02] multiplatinum: and you are very welcome to play with development live cds to help ensure your hardware will work right with 11.04! [18:02] great idea maco [18:02] gsp2009, samba network? [18:03] grullers: yes. [18:03] gsp2009, did you try this: crtrl+L in nautilus, smb://ip.of.smb.server ? [18:03] <[bean]> grullers: it doesnt seem to be fixed officially but there is a patch fix for it on launchpad [18:03] grullers: will try now [18:04] is there a way to use apt-get to list the changelogs of an updatable package? [18:04] [bean], how do i install this fix? [18:04] <[bean]> grullers: maybe someone else can help you with that. all i know is that it is a bug and cant really be fixed without the fix thats on launchpad at the moment [18:05] grullers: nautilus crashes when I try a direct connection [18:05] <[bean]> if you google your error you will find the thread talking about dpkg-reconfigure -a and debconf and cron and the patch [18:05] [bean], ok i'll try [18:06] So NTP doesn't come with default servers? Did that change recently? [18:06] moin [18:06] i accidently deleted /var/cache ... shame on me ;) ... how can i fix it? [18:06] gsp2009, I would mount the share [18:06] grullers will try.. thanks.

Notice ssh connections are slow to connect. Is their a way to quicken the connect time? [18:12] gpled: what's your ping time to the box you're trying to connect to? [18:13] Narcissus: Just add the unity PPA and install it with your favorite package management app [18:14] Narcissus: Actually, I don't think you need a PPA anymore... [18:14] Narcissus: it is on my LAN. average .139 [18:14] gpled, yes... stopping other downloads e.g. [18:15] Narcissus: Yeah... just "sudo apt-get install unity" [18:15] rumpe1: no other downloads [18:15] gpled, 0.139 secs? [18:15] gpled: Run ssh with -vv and see what part it's slow on [18:15] undecim, no additional configuring needed? [18:15] tabasko: AFAIK [18:15] undecim: seriously? that's easier than I was expecting [18:17] ola [18:17] boa tarde a todos! [18:17] undecim: thanks. looks like its trying different authentication mettods [18:18] estou com um problema em meu ubuntu, acho q é a questão de links [18:18] no menu locais quando clico em documentos por exemplo, aparece uma mensagem de arquivo não encontrado [18:18] !en | rafael [18:18] rafael: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are English only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [18:19] hi [18:19] hi [18:19] !br | rafael [18:19] rafael: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[18:19] I'm in trouble on the menu of my local ubuntu [18:20] #ubuntu-br [18:20] undecim: is their a way for the client to tell the server which method to start with? notice putty is real quick when connecting from m$ [18:20] rafael: ask away [18:20] what s the prob rafael? [18:20] ola [18:20] gpled: Not sure... [18:21] gpled: What auth methods does it try, in which order? [18:21] when I click on documents for example, a message file not found [18:21] undecim: just about everything it can, before droping to password [18:21] I'm trying to edit a post on ubuntuforums.org, but I can't get it to save, no matter what I do! Any suggestions? [18:22] rafael: are you able to open your Documents folder at all? [18:22] gpled: You can do like '-o "RSAAuthentication No"' to make it not use pubkey auth, etc. [18:22] you mean you are trying to go to /home/someone/Documents ? [18:22] gpled: Put those in the config files to make them permanent [18:22] I am working under some HTTP proxy. When i try to branch through bazaar I get this error---"ssh: connect to host bazaar.launchpad.net port 22: Connection timed out bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist. "..Is there any way around to solve this?? [18:22] I jjust installed ubuntu and every time I boot its a blank screen [18:22] gpled: ~/.ssh/config for user-wide settings [18:22] undecim: i think this is slowing it down more then the auth methods. Cannot determine realm for numeric host address [18:23] I think its something to do with nvidiea drivers [18:23] through the computer link can usually access the folders, only the local menu that I can not [18:23] but how can I install these from the boot drivers [18:23] boot disk [18:23] * [18:23] undecim: k, thanks for the -vv tip. does debug1 mean client and 2 server? === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux === Guest35545 is now known as RaNdY [18:23] taos: install what from the boot disk? [18:24] gpled: A quick google says that adding a line for the server to /etc/hosts will speed it up [18:24] Latest 64bit 10.10 build === RaNdY is now known as Guest31286 [18:24] gpled: e.g. "192.168.1.23 mysshserver", then you can connect with either the IP or "mysshserver" and it should be faster [18:24] wolfpack: ask in #launchpad [18:24] taos: apt-get update && apt-get ugprade ? [18:25] KM0201: Im on the bootdisk atm [18:25] KM0201: the actual os wont boot [18:25] undecim: smells like ssh is trying to resolve DNS names. bet their is a way to turn that off [18:25] taos: oh i see.. well what makes you think upgrading the installed OS is going to fix the problem? [18:25] you mean in the file browser, you can access something like /home/rafael/Documents/foo but only from the computer link, not from the Documents link? [18:25] KM0201: I don't I just wanna know how to install nvidea drivers onto the os from my boot disk [18:26] taos: are you able to boot into recovery mode? [18:26] taos: you can't [18:26] ubuntu fails then [18:26] taos: well, to my knowledge.. there's probably a way to do it [18:26] i need help changing my computer's name, i entered this command: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts /etc/hostname, but idk what to do now, PM plz [18:26] taos: if you say so... it does't sound like its ubuntu's problem though, all my nvidia stuff works fine [18:26] multiplatinum: reboot [18:26] great actually [18:26] gpled: Not that I can find. [18:26] taos i need to change things first... [18:27] undecim: found it on the sever side, but not client [18:28] undecim: UseDNS no [18:28] gpled: Have you tried adding the line to /etc/hosts? [18:28] multiplatinum: Just edit the /etc/hostname, save it and restart. [18:28] <[G]ohan> Can anyone tell me more about Ubuntu ? [18:28] taos: try to boot into recovery mode. press Shift just before the OS starts to load to get the grub menu [18:28] feels good.. [18:28] [G]ohan: What would you like to know? [18:28] having gfx drivers installed [18:28] I get grub anyway [18:28] undecim: not yet. i connect by ip, and dont realy have dns on this lan yet [18:28] <[G]ohan> Can we play Counter strike in Ubuntu ? [18:28] mcb_1, no i heard i need to change the other file too or else ill have issues with sudo commands [18:28] [G]ohan: try wine [18:29] <[G]ohan> Sedega will work ? [18:29] [G]ohan: ubuntu is OS and play CS with Windows ;) [18:29] <[G]ohan> Just asked [18:29] taos: so, then are you able to boot into recovery mode? [18:29] [G]ohan: yea its ok ;) [18:29] go [18:29] trying now [18:29] brb [18:29] lst [18:29] [G]ohan: Not sure. You'll have to ask them [18:30] so.... I have linux. now what? [18:30] learning python? [18:30] kao [18:30] [G]ohan: Though a lot of people will install Ubuntu next to windows so that they choose Ubuntu or Windows when they turn the computer on, and use Windows for gaming, and Ubuntu for everything else [18:31] <[G]ohan> My bootloader doesn't support any version of linux including Ubuntu...How do i install it ? === nick is now known as Guest17946 [18:32] !ot [18:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:33] undecim: ip hostname of server in /etc/hosts made it work === Guest93100 is now known as hansinderwurscht [18:33] gpled: Nice. [18:33] [G]ohan: which computer do you have? [18:33] Michal31337: Python, that would be option. [18:33] <[G]ohan> Toshiba laptop [18:34] yeah, im reading about it [18:34] [G]ohan: When you install Ubuntu, it installs the GrUB bootloader, which supports just about any OS you could want on your computer, including both Windows and Ubuntu [18:34] seems hard [18:34] Hi all. I've got a new ubuntu server 10.10 install going. I'm adding users using 'groupadd -d -m '. For some reason, now when I log in as those users my bash .profile is not being loaded? Anyone ever seen this before? [18:34] [G]ohan: did you try many linux OS's that you are saying that it doesn't support? [18:34] Michal31337: Why not bash, nice start, or perl? [18:34] <[G]ohan> Yeah [18:35] <[G]ohan> Open suse , mint , fedora [18:35] hi there, anybody knowing how to scan with the Samsung CLX-3175 or CLX-3185 but not through usb? [18:35] <[G]ohan> Most of them [18:35] [G]ohan: hmmm..so i am assuming you have windows pre-installed? [18:35] <[G]ohan> Yes [18:36] shcherbak: i dont like bash but i think i'll get more info about perl [18:36] and see what happens [18:36] [G]ohan: there is a way to boot into ubuntu (or debian) in such cases...but the online guides are old and are meant for Grub...ubuntu now uses Grub2 [18:37] When I log out the machine freezes and has to be powered down. Fortunately sda1 is clean. [18:37] rigved: just on that, there isn't likely to be a problem with blowing away grub2 and reinstalling grub is there? [18:38] rigved: like, Ubuntu won't have a screaming fit if I switch back === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [18:39] gordonjcp: after making many changes, there will be no problem...it's easier to use grub2 [18:39] rigved: not really, grub2 doesn't really work on this machine [18:39] grub works just great, grub2 not so much [18:39] can I upgrade 8.04LTS to 10.04 without impacting (loosing) data in user home directories? [18:39] where do I go for questions about xfce? [18:40] eee1: if you have set up a separate /home partition, yes [18:40] eee1: you shouldn't but config files may be deprecated === root is now known as Guest8565 [18:40] WhitePelican: #xfce would be a good guess [18:40] eee1: I did it, there should be docs on the ubuntu website about what steps you need to take to do the upgrade. [18:40] !root | Guest8565 [18:40] Guest8565: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [18:41] oops, wrong factoid, it's been a while... [18:41] screen ftw [18:41] wrong chat... [18:42] my install does not have /home on a separate partition. will continue looking on website. [18:44] hi, any ideas of what can be causing that unity installed to desktop version of ubuntu 10.10 is slow?

[18:46] sorry? 1 mini pastbin? [18:46] almostblind: try #xchat. [18:47] Wolfsherz yes just join there [18:48] serialized, Its working now [18:48] ah ok :) [18:49] is there a way to install 32bit firefox on 64 bit ubuntu [18:49] i have installed unity to my ubuntu 10.10 and it is working very slowly, mouse is lagging,... (like if i had windows on slow PC), when i logout and get back to ubuntu desktop it works fast again [18:50] any ideas of how can i make unity work faster? [18:50] can anyone help me updating my ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10? i got a bunch of errors trying [18:50] #help [18:52] nishttal2: not sure but you could try to download the .deb file from the website and then trying [18:52] could somebody help me with 'make' errors or direct me to a page with help about them please? === francisco is now known as Guest11774 [18:55] rigved, ok will try that [18:55] Which programme could I use for check how my voice sounds while using a microphone? [18:56] is there a way to install ubuntu without GUI? [18:57] honeypot: install the server edition [18:57] honeypot: server edition or try the alternative edition [18:57] greppy: I don't have the disc nor the time to download atm === nan is now known as Guest33260 [18:57] Guest11774: System > Administration > System Testing [18:57] well how about this [18:57] honeypot: you can install a desktop version then use aptitude to remove gdm and the like. [18:58] i have a process thats been running for 6 hours and is currently taking up 94% of some resource [18:58] its called apt-get -qq -y update [18:58] rtdos, hello! [18:58] rubbs: I have a problem in spotting all "the like" :( [18:58] honeypot: I think there are boot options for the cd that will let you do it sans gui, but not sure what they are off the top of my head. [18:58] i got the following error http://pastebin.com/LWt0s7R7 I think he tryes to select br. repos to update, but they seem to not be avaiable here. how do i force the updater to choose not br repos? [18:59] greppy: I checked them one by one :( F1 F2... === damnfool0 is now known as damnfool [18:59] honeypot: you can also look at setting your runlevel so the gui never starts, but I'm not sure how that works with upstart [18:59] !runlevel | honeypot [18:59] honeypot: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [18:59] dtcrshr: easiest way is to backup your data and do a clean install [19:00] rigved, disagree === damnfool is now known as fox-man [19:02] hi, is there something to do when installing ubuntu on a ssd? or are the default settings ok? [19:02] ivan_, using a notebook version? [19:02] ivan_: just install, use ext4 if you want trim [19:02] has anyone here successfully setup a streaming server for live & on-demand service? [19:02] dtcrshr: my opinion...but your's may differ [19:02] i accidently deleted /var/cache ... shame on me ;) ... how can i fix it? [19:03] hey sloopy. :) [19:03] cellardoor: yes, it will be on a notebook (the disk is a ocz vertex 2) [19:04] gobbe: what about fstab? i read somewhere that it was suggested to change the options with something else (don't remember what) [19:05] ivan_: yes, add discard-option [19:06] Hi, what should i format my external USB HD to? Ext3 or 4? Or FAT32? It will be used only on Ubuntu, reason i say fat32, is most usb jump drives are fat32 and those work just fine on my Ubuntu [19:06] rubbs: what is runlevel used for :( [19:06] gobbe: what about noatime ? === NG_ is now known as ng_ [19:07] ivan_: it helps, but not necessary [19:07] rigved, changed in my synaptic to use main servers, instead of my local ones and worked [19:07] kinda harsh to "clean install" [19:07] dtcrshr: cool...local servers may be down [19:08] Encrypte1: if you are absolutely sure that you will only use it with Ubuntu, then go for ext4. if there is just a slim chance you will plug that drive to another os one day use fat32... [19:08] honeypot: traditionally it does things like "single-user-mode" "non graphics mode" and "gui mode" lower run levels would not load certain sections of the system. Looks like upstart kills off the whole runlevel thing though, so I'm not sure what is possible. [19:08] gobbe: ok... and should i keep the swap or remove it? (4gb of ram) === woody_ is now known as trialnerror === Encrypte1 is now known as Encr9 [19:09] ivan_: well, i have swap activated and been running ~2 years on ssd [19:10] Hi, what should i format my external USB HD to?

[19:13] after an update my networking menu is being a bit funny: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52148/test.png [19:13] Hello, recently a friend told me that Ubuntu would be dropping xorg in future releases. I've been reading around, and I've come across Ubuntu Unity. Will this be a derivative of Ubuntu Desktop, or will it be the new, main version of Ubuntu? [19:13] ivan_: ocz's are fast, but they can break easily [19:13] the entire applet seems to be a bit broken [19:13] gobbe: mm..nice :) === LouisJB_ is now known as LouisJB [19:14] is it possible to reinstall it perhaps? [19:14] ivan_: how did you run it? [19:14] gobbe: break because of what ?

[19:14] ivan_: so i would say do your backups [19:15] ivan_: in our company we have had ~5 cases in past 2 years where ocz's has broke [19:15] gobbe: hdparm? with other stuff open, but don't think that something was accessing a lot the disk [19:15] Hello. I have a problem with a generical 105-keys keyboard on Ubuntu 10.10. The character named "dead_tilde" ("~"; shown when the "win"-key is pressed) only shows up on the second keypress of the key. Does anybody know what the problem could be? [19:15] ivan_: what parameters did you use? [19:15] i'm trying to get my belkin f5d8053 wireless adapter working and i keep getting a make error when compiling the driver. any ideas? [19:16] gobbe: nice :( about backups sure... i'm putting everything on dropbox and github for the source.... i'd lose stuff like movies&audio, but it's not a big issue :) [19:16] If I use full disk encyption, is it safe to use automatic login? I want to make sure there's no way for someone to get it to log back in as me after I log out but leave my computer running. [19:16] gobbe: hdparm -tT /dev/sda [19:16] why oidentd on my ubuntu doesnt work [19:16] ivan_: aah, ok, i can get something like 180 [19:16] The strange thing is that the other 3rd levels of the keys are shown on the first key-press, just not the dead_tilde-character. [19:17] gobbe: cool :) [19:17] ivan_: actually 206 says now [19:17] ivan_: and this is intel [19:17] why oidentd on my ubuntu doesnt work [19:18] i'm shrinking my 450gb ntfs drive and creating a new partition for ubuntu. how long should it take? it's going on for 8 hrs!

[19:19] ivan_: i know, i run luks but it means that i cannot use trim === mtt is now known as Matt-_- [19:20] gobbe: mm..i think that it's a bad thing... do you know what is used by default to encrypt the home dir? [19:21] ivan_: what is bad thing? bot using trim? [19:22] gobbe: not be able to use trim.. i mean, i'm actually new on ssd's but i've read that it's useful ;) [19:22] ivan_: well...it can slow down the ssd in future, but i'v been running this for ~2 years now [19:23] Wolfsherz: I'm sorry, but I can't find that option anywhere in the keyboard-settings?

[19:56] amr: well what are you trying to do to indicator applet?.. fwiw, the indicator applet, and the panel, are different [19:56] amr: Perhaps if you state what it is that you are trying to accomplish in the first place other than just ditching gnome?

O.o I could swear I have seen the option for left/center/right before. [20:00] mister: Basically it is saying that something is trying to change the file ownership at the specified path, which of course it won't allow [20:00] hi guys. I've set up a media center host, which was working fine up to a point, but then something broke. the system itself is still seemingly OK, but my auto-logon is a bit weird. I've made backups & modified the '/etc/init/tty5.conf' fine, adding a line to echo some status into to a log file, but theres noting in the log file, wich leads me to think that the file is not firing off correctly. is anyone able to help me with the auto-s [20:00] replicasex: you may have seen it in xfce or other window manager [20:00] anyone who knows a program for audio edition ?

[20:02] gordonjcp, yes [20:02] i created a share and i had a user map it via windows using the username and passowrd i created for them....however i cannot edit file in that directory because [20:03] amr: strange, i wodner if the netbook interface has something to do w/ it [20:03] milen8204: I think you can also export the files as mp3 (did that to turn songs into ringtones at one time). [20:03] milen8204: it loads and saves pretty much any format you like [20:03] i have this problem, i have dual boot with windows xp but i can't boot to it from grub for some reason, i get error 28. it worked fine a few days ago though. could someone help me please?

[20:03] morhook, i will try to export :D [20:03] so perhaps if there was a recent package update for the netbook version [20:03] milen8204: if you do File->Save it saves the *project*, not the audio file - you want File->Export [20:03] amr: i know there is a command to reset the panel in gnome sorry i cant recall it ? [20:03] Dr_Willis: it showed up in my upgrade center and I let it upgrade. then I installed sugar from sugarlabs to try. it wasn't broken till then suddenly now it behaves as if alt key is pressed [20:04] botcity: heh that might be useful [20:04] lemme know if you remember [20:04] mellin: all I do is "/etc/init.d/timidity start" which I'm not supposed to sudo [20:04] milamber, it saves as .aup but has the option to "export" many other formats [20:04] altho i'm not sure if that'd do it [20:04] piyushmishra: Its possible sugar did somthing.. but i doubt if sudo did. [20:04] gordonjcp, yes you are right Thanks alot [20:04] Mrokii, thank you too [20:04] milen8204: you're welcome. [20:04] Dr_Willis: I already removed it to check. if it broke something, it hasn't undone it on uninstall :( [20:04] milen8204: if you need something a bit more substantial you can use Ardour [20:05] Dr_Willis: how do I fix it now?

[20:09] what? [20:09] mister: How did you install timidity? [20:09] JZandi: answer is 64 [20:09] icedTeaNPRBrowser Plugin (using Iced Tea6 1.9.2 (6b20-1.9.2-0ubuntu2) [20:09] mellin: synaptic [20:10] !info timidity [20:10] timidity (source: timidity): Software sound renderer (MIDI sequencer, MOD player).

[20:11] my cou is Corei7! [20:11] JZandi: AMD64 works on all intel chips too, it's just the name for 64bit [20:11] what iu figured out, was that i should put that into the command ...? but when i try that, command asks for my password and when i type the password, command does not register one character of it. the cursor just blinks. [20:11] gufghur: If you run that command in the terminal, it should solve the problem (hopefully...) [20:12] why this named as amd? [20:12] JZandi: because AMD developed the standard for 64 bit chips this time round [20:12] it's a long process so i closed my notebook (i selected the option to avoid freezing) and now when i open it, the screen stays black, although the hard drive is working [20:12] I am trying to install Edubuntu on a computer that will act as a small school server, Have 3x 500GB drives and wanted to install it as RAID5 but I dont seem to have the option when installing, any advice?

[20:16] however, 'smbd restart' will start samba when in a console. the issue is that i would like it to be automatic [20:16] hi, newbie, here.

[21:01] erusul: i se noexec (i know thats the opposite of what i want) how do i change that [21:01] madjoe: just install a few and try them, see which you like. They all use a central source for codecs so all players can play everything once they have the codecs [21:01] doodoo: they shouldn't, no. [21:01] madjoe: well any player with the codecs supports all kind of files, VLC is supposed to support the most [21:01] doodoo: think of them more like the .dll's if you come from a windows background.

[21:41] actionparsnip: it just suddenly stopped and cut out on me, now i am back on my laptop, but is there any other way i can fix this problem since i don't have product id for it [21:42] botcity: microsoft basic optical mouse [21:43] piyushmishra1: it's a pretty impressive problem [21:43] piyushmishra1: a new user does not have this issue right? Maybe compare files in homedir ~/.gconf/ like ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse ? [21:43] gordonjcp: I am a linux noob and this hurts oCean done that. they only have speed values different [21:44] I'm assuming it's impossible to change my partition from ext4 to ext3 without having to backup my files, or lose them. Am I correct? [21:45] piyushmishra1: ah, ok. Still, it must be an user-specific setting. Now figure out which :s [21:45] I'm having some difficulty with a remote control (lirc: surprise-surprise!). does anyone have a good reference of how I can remove lirc, including all remnands of modules, so that I can do an install as if it was from scratch? [21:45] ghostnik11: did the guides not show you how to set it up === chris_ is now known as scarybeasts_ [21:46] oCean: its user specific for sure [21:46] ...please? [21:46] pienkie, you mean completely remove the program and all files? [21:46] pienkie, all of the files it uses. (config files) [21:46] piyushmishra1: well, create a completely clean new user [21:47] piyushmishra1: *do not log in as this new user* [21:47] gordonjcp: ok [21:47] piyushmishra1: go through each file in the new user's directory, and compare it with the one in your own directory [21:47] pienkie, am I correct? [21:47] actionparsnip: no guides right now i am reading a post in ubuntu france site forums using google translate and they said try different driver so i will try this carl9170 driver and see if it works [21:48] hi snake__ : yes & no. I've done an `apt-get purge` of lirc & `dpkg —purge`of ay packacages related to lirc, but I also want to remove any & all kernel modules that may have been added along the way [21:48] gordonjcp: There are a lot of files extra on my user. its been here for some months now. and the other user I just created works fine so why do I need to create yet another user? [21:48] piyushmishra1: if that doesn't do it, then log in as the new user, and try all the new files that have been created [21:48] piyushmishra1: so you have a totally completely clean new user, without any of the files created when you first log in [21:48] gordonjcp: hmm [21:49] I already have a just loggen in user. lemme create a not logged in one [21:49] pienkie, not sure how to do that. Maybe I should considering I compiled my kernel custom :/ [21:50] snake__: thought abou thtat, but custom kernels are tricky to maintain across upgrades [21:50] ghostnik11: could try ndisgtk + windows driver as well [21:51] I'm assuming it's impossible to change my partition from ext4 to ext3 without having to backup my files, or lose them. Am I correct? [21:51] actionparsnip: cool, will try right now [21:51] snake__, yes. as far i know. [21:52] piyushmishra1: oooh, just thought of another way [21:52] piyushmishra1: create a new user as before [21:52] gordonjcp: yes and ? [21:52] piyushmishra1: copy the config files across one at a time from your current user, until the same fault shows up [21:53] piyushmishra1: gut feeling is that it's probably in one of the .gconf directories [21:53] gordonjcp: I would better make my settings again on the new user [21:53] actionparsnip: since i just downloaded through synaptic ndisgtk can i just put in the cd and try to get driver for windows off of there [21:53] piyushmishra1: well, thats' the other way... [21:53] gordonjcp: will I have to re install all softwares I installed on this user ? [21:54] there's like a ton of things I'll need to configure [21:54] hi [21:54] no, but you may need to tweak local configs [21:54] feeling like puking [21:54] hi, does anyone know a way to control a mac OSX computer remotely from ubuntu ? [21:54] like remote desktop where ubuntu is controller and OSX the slave ? :) [21:54] ghostnik11: you need the .inf and the .sys from the driver [21:54] gordonjcp: btw does your xinput list show macintosh mouse button emulation? [21:55] tim167: both OSes can use VNC, I'd try that [21:55] ActionParsnip: ok thanks [21:55] tim167: if you want control over WAN then use an SSH tunnel [21:56] ActionParsnip: it's a OSX computer in Berlin I have to control from ubuntu in Brussels [21:56] Does the open-source ATI driver support ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145? I cannot enable Extra visual effects, and my display did not adjust to 1600x900 [21:56] anyone know of an ubuntu mirror on I2? [21:57] gordonjcp: I found something perhaps I have an extra folder called mouse under peripherals in my current user [21:57] hello [21:57] can I use debian-multimedia packages on ubuntu? [21:58] why would you want to do that? [21:58] hi there [21:58] piyushmishra1: maybe [21:58] keith4: need a more recent version of libx264-devel [21:58] cousin_mario, not required. ubuntu-restricted-extras and/or Medibuntu [21:58] is that onyone here ? [21:58] ZykoticK9: couldn't find what I need in there:/ [21:58] well is it possible to buy an IP ? [21:59] ZykoticK9: perhaps I should look for a ppa [21:59] tim167: what are you wanting to achieve on the remote side? [21:59] cousin_mario, ya sorry, you hadn't posted the specific package requirement libx264-devel when i answered [21:59] can any one tall me how to pot ubuntu back to default .this is my first time using ubuntu and I did no how to use it I'm learning . if some would help me .you can E-mail me at knightserenity@yahoo.com or tall me now [21:59] ierty: what IP? [21:59] ActionParsnip: i have to help somebody configure some software and get it runnign [22:00] public ip [22:00] tim167: vnc isn't secure and all keypresses etc are sent in cleartext [22:00] knight__, seeing as this channel is logged, your email will now be picked up by spam bots :( [22:00] tim167: if they use a router they will need to setup port forwarding [22:00] gordonjcp: naah [22:00] ActionParsnip: [22:01] ActionParsnip: hmm, any other way you know of [22:01] knight__: if you rename all the config folders in home your user will get default settings. If you are meaning more than just looks and settings and are having issues with the packages then it involves more than that [22:01] tim167: not really, anything you put in place will need port forwarding on the router [22:01] I am using `gpg --gen-key` and ran into a phrase that is confusing 'Make sure that the name on the key is not a pseudonym, and that it matches the name in your passport, or other government issued photo-identification! You can add extra e-mail addresses to the key later.' Does it mean I should NOT use by real name (that in the passport)? [22:01] lol [22:02] piyushmishra: maybe... ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/ [22:02] actionparsnip: okay i got the .inf file but everything else is in .exe form and i don't see any .sys file [22:02] lol 1 day 14 hours remaining on upgrade. puter went into standby [22:02] Is there any part of a user's home folder that isn't encrypted when the encryption is enabled? Because SSH keys are located in ~/.ssh/ and is unreadable unless the user is already logged in on the remote server. [22:02] Ok so I installed the clipart for use in open office from the software center. Where did it unpack the archive to default? [22:03] ghostnik11: do you mean autorun.inf ? [22:03] israfel_: as far as I can tell if your home dir is encrypted, that user's home is encrypted. [22:03] BTW all the googled links I found had a database error so I couldn't find the information myself ;-) [22:04] ActionParsnip: How R ya? [22:04] mellin: i'll be better in 9 hours :) [22:05] mellin: you ok [22:05] ActionParsnip: Yep thanks for askin' [22:05] Good evening [22:05] * mellin percieves that ActionParsnip must be at work....bummer [22:05] actionparsnip: actually when i use the windows driver install feature and select autorun.inf to install driver as the location it tells me its already installed, but that makes no sense to me [22:05] Quick question about GNOME Art downloading. I am downloading some splash screens and login managers. Where on earth do I change them in GNOME on Ubuntu 10.04? Or how do I change them to be more precise [22:06] ghostnik11: its not that file, that file ONLY makes the CD autorun [22:06] ActionParsnip: lol thanks gordonjcp I kinda fixed it deleted the .gconf folder. sadly I hadn't realised all visual settings are lost but its way better than having to hit alt all the time [22:06] ghostnik11: run the executable with wine and it will extract [22:07] ghostnik11: you may be able to use cabextract to extract it too [22:07] actionparsnip: okay will download wine right now and try [22:07] Anybody know? [22:07] DrGrov: you can only change the background and the login box colour in the current ubuntu [22:08] DrGrov: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 [22:08] ActionParsnip: Ah ok. So no possibility to use GNOME art to get splash screens nor login managers? :( [22:08] DrGrov: if its just an image, then its fine [22:08] how do i debu mysqld from starting (service) [22:08] ive checked var/log/mysql/x and /var/log/syslog [22:08] actionparsnip: cool will get that also, hopefully b/4 the wireless usb cuts out again [22:08] ActionParsnip: install plymouth manager [22:09] ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks [22:09] tfu [22:09] To the other guy [22:09] ActionParsnip: Something to suggest to install from GNOME art? [22:09] DarkSkyGhost: i dont use plymouth [22:10] That was to DrGrov, sorry. [22:10] DrGrov: no idea, I dont play with themes much at all [22:10] DarkSkyGhost: Thanks, I catched it :) === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [22:10] ActionParsnip: Ok, I will try my best to find something attractive. The blackish style I have now irritates too much since I have the 42" tv as a computer screen [22:11] DrGrov: there are lots, there are even projects to make it look like macOS or Win7 [22:12] ActionParsnip: No thanks on the MacOS and Win7 :) [22:12] ActionParsnip: The sole reason I got into Linux is to get rid of MacOS and Windows [22:12] 110120 22:11:07 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address [22:12] 110120 22:11:07 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ? [22:12] why would mysql not be able to bind on that port? [22:12] ActionParsnip: It seems like Ubuntu Tweak can also change my login background? [22:12] ActionParsnip: But how is it that my 10.04 does have a different look on the login screen than 10.10? [22:13] DrGrov: not sure, it's free to try though ;) [22:13] ActionParsnip: It sure is, I love Ubuntu Tweak. It works out really well since I got some nice 3rd party repositories installed. [22:13] aeiou: then run: ps -ef | grep mysql [22:14] aeiou: you can then kil the pid, or you can run: sudo service mysql stop [22:14] nope nothing [22:14] there isnt a mysql process running [22:14] any other reason it wouldnt be able to bind? [22:15] could it be apparmour? [22:15] hey guys i am in a bind i am getting a perticular error when i want to launch an app trough wine in ubuntu 10.10 xmbc error 3 is all i see [22:16] mehok: have you asked in #wine [22:16] #winehq sorry [22:16] good idea [22:17] hi there [22:17] is that possible ? [22:17] hey guys bit of a bind here [22:17] i installed a windows app on ubuntu 10.10 but it comes out with an eooro on xmbc 3 [22:18] I am using `gpg --gen-key`, gets to the point where it tells me that gpg-agent is not available. I use apt-get to install it. [22:18] mehok: have you checked the appdb for compatibility? [22:19] hi there [22:19] is it possible to launch xdispay on xdisplay ? [22:21] is there any bug here ? [22:21] why the hell does jack depend on Qt? [22:22] no one is on the winehq chat that will help me [22:22] ugh, bug [22:23] hm, I get to choose between an ancient and buggy version of jack, or a broken package that wants to pull in a couple of GB of Qt dependencies [22:24] Anyone decent with Fetchmail? I have a ubuntu server 10.04 trying to setup Request Tracker on it. The RT install went fine, but now I'm trying to setup fetchmail to connect to a local pop3 account on my exchange server. My fetchmail log shows these errors http://pastie.org/1482493 I have verified the pop account works using thunderbird on a windows box. [22:24] The errors are related to certs, I know the exchange server has a bad cert [22:25] gordonjcp: do you remember the command to launch an application from terminal and return the control to the terminal and not kill it when the terminal closes [22:25] piyushmishra1: screen, maybe?

[22:28] itaylor57 , rumpe1, gordonjcp nope. the command launched the application and then freed the terminal for me [22:29] piyushmishra1, what do you mean with "return the control to the terminal" ? [22:29] does ubuntu 10.04 have python 3 already on it? [22:30] mikegerw1tz: partimage :) [22:30] rumpe1: usually when you run something from the terminal, the application launches and then you cannot close the terminal as it will kill the process [22:30] !info python lucid [22:30] python (source: python-defaults): An interactive high-level object-oriented language (default version).

How's my Linux peeps doin'? Anyway, I'll cut strait to the point... Where do I get an ISO image? And... why does it have to be so big? LOL. [22:34] Sharpclaw, ISO for what? Ubuntu? [22:34] piyushmishra1, or "screen matlab" [22:34] Yup. [22:35] Sharpclaw, the website.. [22:36] Nice. If I use Unetbootin do I still need an ISO image? [22:36] Sharpclaw, whats Unetbootin? [22:37] It's a tool you use to get like Linux on your USB stick or CD drive. (I'm takin' that as a no...) [22:37] Sharpclaw: you can use the minuimal ISO which is 12Mb but you will simply be installing the debss from the repos to install the OS [22:37] cellardoor: it's to put an ubuntu CD ISO onto a thumb drive.... and make the thumb drive bootable.. it's pretty handy [22:37] hwllo [22:38] hello [22:38] Sharpclaw: yes, unetbootin simply puts the ISO onto the USB storage in an appropriate way. You can use the 1-2-3 installer (if you use Windows) which will download and MD5 test the ISO for you [22:38] Recently configure apache with modules davfs, and ssl and .htaccess, in a folder called share ... everything works fine on the local network and internet, using WebDAV clients.

[22:39] Argh [22:39] is there a good tutorial for connecting to another ubuntu machine with vnc over a secured connection? it's my understanding that VNC protocol is insecure [22:39] KM0201, all my laptops are old and run standard ubuntu ;D never had a BIOS modern enough to boot from USB [22:39] this is impossible.

Occasionally, when I ssh into my server it refuses connection. Can anyone suggest which log to look in to find the cause? [22:50] Can anyone tell me why Scribus isn't using the theme that I set? [22:50] Guest87822: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support questions, not nonsense. [22:50] i need help, i have the accessability for my mouse to use my keyboard numpad as my mouse. when i hit 5 now, its not a left click anymore, its shows up a right click menu. could anyone help me? it worked with a restart last time that happened but i dont really want to do that at the moment [22:50] i know. [22:50] !guidelines | Guest87822 [22:50] Guest87822: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [22:51] punjabdapunk, you have good port 22 settings in your router? and you use the correct username to login each time? [22:51] Yes... that's correct. [22:51] Say, can I use Windows mice with Ubuntu. Or like, my touch pad. I'm afraid Ubuntu won't recognize them. [22:51] telnetd don't start because "sudo /etc/init.d/inetd restart" don't exist [22:51] punjabdapunk, does it say something like... Conection Refused Port 22: Remote Host Closed the Connection? [22:51] actionparsnip: sorry I am taking long but everytime i tried getting wine on it, the wireless usb would cut out so, i have to try and find my usb ethernet then will download wine and let you know if it works, but in the mean time i actually booted in windows xp partition and can say that the wireless usb actually works so once these stupid windows updates actually finish downloading and installing i will boot back into lubuntu [22:51] 10.10 [22:51] punjabdapunk, and are you using terminal to connect? [22:52] Yes... it does. [22:52] hi anyone know whats the command to compile on mingw32 from terminal ? [22:52] punjabdapunk, that is a problem with either your underlying network e.g router but more probably a fault in your ssh... try running the following in termianl [22:52] punjabdapunk, sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server [22:53] punjabdapunk, and run [22:53] punjabdapunk, rm -rf ~/.ssh / on the machine you are using to try and connect to the server [22:53] punjabdapunk, then run sudo apt-get install openssh-server [22:53] ooh, take the punjabpunk and run [22:53] ssh is no option I must acess the system using a embeded system without ssh [22:53] I do start my server via wake on lan. Sometimes I wait 20 mins before ssh in. Do you think the server goes into suspend or something similar? [22:53] I'll try your suggestion now.... [22:54] punjabdapunk, that sounds very likely actually [22:54] Anyone know how to run ubuntu on a cassiopeia?

[22:58] i know for a fact they are useing xbmc as a bace [22:58] I'm on 10.10... looking for a GUI hardware/device manager that can show info about my system. I had thought there would be something for this under System | Administration menu, but I don't see anything that looks right.

[23:03] ubottu, Did'nt you already say that? [23:03] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:03] Sharpclaw, something tells me that if you have to ask questions like these.. you really aren't up to it. There is no way to modify 'Ubuntu' as such. Ubuntu is a collective of so much open-source software. You can probably hack about with individual components however [23:03] Sharpclaw, though unless you really know what you are doing, you will probably just damage things [23:03] I am having some trouble compiling apps on Ubuntu, I have installed build-essentials and the necessary dev libs. But i get lots of errors in stdio.h and other header files in libc. Can anyone help me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/556232/ [23:04] Umm... then why is it open-source if I can't change it? That's kinda... UGH! [23:04] idar, what program are you trying to install [23:04] cellardoor: FakeXinerama, but it happends with most c apps. [23:04] Sharpclaw, oh you can change and rebuild and modify the package by all means.. but I suggest you do a lot of reading first and decide why you would want to do it [23:04] Good evening, gents! === Ricky_ is now known as Guest20304 [23:05] idar, there is no debian based package for it? === Guest20304 is now known as RichyH [23:05] cellardoor: no === RichyH is now known as RickyH [23:05] can anyone help me change the uri of my printer? === RickyH is now known as RickyHarline [23:05] cellardoor: should be fairly easy to compile though [23:05] idar, Indeed, but I can't really make out much from that paste unfortunately [23:06] Hey, can I get a gent to be so kind as to offer me some advice on an Ubuntu install issue I'm having? [23:06] Oh. Well, then... cool. Also, (Lol, I wont stop!) Can I just download 1 iso image, copy it to my USB and boot or do I have to extract? [23:06] idar, what I can tell.. is its a problem with the .C files [23:06] Sharpclaw: You can change it all you want, but the official Ubuntu release managers will not publish your changes :) [23:06] Sharpclaw: You have to burn the ISO onto the CD using a disk buring program [23:06] idar, the header files are incomplete or somehow damaged? is the software actively maintained? [23:07] vanguard, Yeah. imma on my own for posting. [23:07] cellardoor i am still runing that command.. may i ask what line you saw that error at .. i dont see it my self.. i must be blind.. felt kinda dumb that you saw something so fast that i completly over looked.. but looking back at hte pastebin im not seeing what line entry has that sugested command to run [23:07] cellardoor or did you just know that was the command needed? [23:07] Like, Unetbootin or that other one I just downloaded a while ago... [23:07] cellardoor: I just tried with a helloworld app and it failed when i included stdio.h [23:07] Cpt_Zyph, its not an error, but it often helps to rebuild certain parts of the package management system.. I saw several breaks in that paste.. I will recommend running a 'check for updates' too at some point [23:08] idar, can you get a replacement of that file anywhere? [23:08] cellardoor: Its an uptodate maverick system [23:08] I have one ubuntu comp hooked up to my pc with a printer and it works fine my other unbuntu (a carbon copy) will not print the uri are different any thoughts [23:08] idar, stdio.h doesnt come with ubuntu if thats what you are implying.. it needs to be present in the directory you are trying to compile in [23:08] cellardoor understood... so you saw dpk errors and such so that = that sugestion.. sry just trying to understand and learn how to trouble shoot more etc.. and you think after this a sudu apt-get update would be in order? [23:09] Cpt_Zyph, thats perfectly fine, I love people who like to learn :) absolutely! you get it! :) rebuild and collate the packaging system, then run an update and see how it fares this time [23:09] cellardoor: it comes with libstdc++6-4.3-dev [23:10] cellardoor: a damnit there is a lib32stdc++6 in here too [23:10] idar, you using the wrong one? ;) [23:10] Can I "Try" Ubuntu more than once? [23:10] Well, perhaps someone may know what my problem is: I go to install Ubuntu and there's a text thing that shows up first after the motherboard POST that says all the Linux OS info and then there's a screen with a small logo at the bottom, and then it sits there for ten seconds or so and then goes to a flashing cursor where it sits for infinity. Can't find any solutions online... [23:10] cellardoor: probably [23:10] idar, what architecture are you running on? [23:10] cellardoor thank ya ill let ya know how it turns out.. i have another weird problem and would like to learn how to address it but ill wait till after this issue.. unless your leaving soon *) [23:10] cellardoor: 64bits [23:11] cellardoor: stdio.h is present on my system [23:11] Hi Folks! [23:11] cellardoor do i want to launch byobu at shell log on ?? i dont even know what that is [23:11] RickyHarline, try pressing 'Ctrl-Alt-F1' when that situation arises, may switch you to a login prompt [23:11] itaylor57: its pretty standard [23:11] Hi! [23:11] Sharpclaw, yes, till the CD wears out [23:11] I try to rotate my bg-image from a shell-script; I use gconftool-2 --set ....

[23:12] but not in the UI and the actual image also does not change [23:12] any ideas? [23:12] Cpt_Zyph, oh I get you.. you got skype? [23:12] cellardoor, thanks, I'll see what I can do [23:12] cellardoor its a package cfg terminal screen asking "do you want to launch byobu at shell login for all users" negative i do not have skype [23:13] Traintop: Does it work if you do the same change in gconf-editor? [23:13] cellardoor ill just say no at this point [23:13] guys, i've been trying to get ET to work with sound, but it says that /dev/dsp doesn't exist. what can i do about this? [23:13] Cpt_Zyph, errr do you think you had it before? if not probably best to say no :) [23:13] no i know its a fresh install of only 2 3 days ago.. and thus far no skype install on this netbook for me [23:14] geirha: mom, testing [23:14] Cpt_Zyph, answer the questions as best you can :) [23:14] mom? [23:14] got to go. Thanks. [23:15] moment i think NotBot [23:15] NotBot: short for "one moment please" [23:15] geirha: same behavior it seems like gconftool and gconf-editor use 2 different databases...

Is it a cronjob? [23:16] geirha: no, both don't work [23:16] yawn [23:16] geirha: only works by using UI [23:17] Traintop: Oh. Hm. Maybe you're changing something in metacity while using compiz or vice versa? [23:17] guys, i've been trying to get ET to work with sound, but it says that /dev/dsp doesn't exist. what can i do about this? [23:17] geirha: compiz is running for blingbling... :-) [23:17] i have set conky -c ~/.conky/conkyrc_orange in my startup application as a command and it keeps calling conky on startup, as it had no parameters. why? [23:18] cellardoor man this is a long fix command im likign what its steping me through.. while this is going ill just prep with.. this dell mini9 seems to lock at random.. i was told before my wl adapter driver could be the root of hte issue.. i was stumped and did a fresh install with hardwire update so the wifi would work.. (unlike last time i manualy downloaded it) it seemed better but started up once again and i cant figure out why [23:18] furi: you can attempt to run it with padsp [23:18] Traintop: For a quick and dirty way to see what doing it with the UI changes, do the change in the UI, then run find ~ -mmin -2 to see what files have been changed in the last two minutes. [23:18] furi: I don't know what ET is though [23:19] Cpt_Zyph, is the driver one Ubuntu is using by default.. or a windows one you have added on? === wes__ is now known as Nisstyre [23:19] Can anyone tell me why Scribus isn't using the theme that I set? [23:19] cellardoor deffently not a windows one.. it dosnt work out of fresh install but i plug into hardwire after update.. the additonal drivers option pops up and i select between the 2 new entries both seem to work tho last time i used B43 and was told that was no good so im doing the STA driver this go around [23:20] cedllardoor one sec tryin gto figure out what option is being changed for the altgr key replacement window i have up atm [23:20] Cpt_Zyph, and it is still looking up? and ok [23:20] cellardoor yep .. completly random too.. [23:20] Cpt_Zyph, thats another problem for another time I think.... lets get these updates sorted first [23:21] IS there a way to put apt-get packages list back to ubuntu stock list? Remove everything i have installed? [23:21] trism, i mean wolfenstein enemy territory [23:21] cellardoor rgr that [23:21] idar, essentially, no :/ why do you need that? [23:21] hi, need some help, a new spanish ubuntu user need help on using graphic card XFX Radeon HD 5670 [23:21] cellardoor my guess is the default for this option "Alt-gr key" should be right alt?? [23:21] cellardoor: becuase i have fucked up the dev packages somehow [23:21] actionparsnip: you told me to get cabextract? i am trying to remember what else you told me to get as i just finished downloading wine [23:21] this guy is like super new, and i cant speak spanish, he need a personal help rather than on irc chat [23:21] Cpt_Zyph, thats correct [23:22] geirha: ~/.gnome2/backgrounds.xml is changed [23:22] trism, it says "sorry, but your soundcard can't do this" [23:22] cellardoor and if i have a function key is that effected in anyway? [23:22] cellardoor: mind ur language please [23:22] idar, its ok.. what are their full names? just search them.. right click..

[23:23] Traintop: Aha, then I guess your script needs to edit that file instead, then. [23:23] Cpt_Zyph, shouldnt be.. [23:23] cellardoor: i have no idea what makes this not work, but install build-essential should be able to compile a c file with a main method. [23:23] idar, normally you dont even need that... hmm... no guides for it anywhere out there? [23:23] cellardoor: I never had any problems compiling stuff on Gentoo. :( [23:23] geirha: so you do not recommend using gconftool? -I thought this should be the script-interface to gnome-settings? [23:23] furi: have you tried looking here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory [23:24] idar, opposite here, I could never get the bleedin xserver to ever start up :P [23:24] cellardoor dang... whats the compose key.. ?? [23:24] cellardoor: hehe :) [23:24] cellardoor: sorry. confused, tell him/her then' [23:24] gordonjcp: thanks mate [23:24] Cpt_Zyph, probably a key like 'notepad' or something that WOULD start up a customised text entry on Windows.. I think.. it was once a windows laptop? [23:24] estacion03: What do you need? [23:24] Cpt_Zyph, if you can 'ignore' it thats probably best [23:25] Traintop: Well, it's mostly a bit of a mess there. Most core gnome tools do use gconf, but apparently not all. [23:25] idar, I built everything perfectly.. then voomph... 'No screens found'.. funny... how was it telling me that? ;) [23:25] i want to change the url setting of my device [23:25] trism, already looked there [23:25] idar: Can you pastebin your hello_world.c and the exact error from "gcc hello_world.c"? [23:25] cellardoor its a dell mini that came with windows but its got a mini netbook keyboard so it has the default ctrl , Fn, win, alt layout and on the right side is a right click key then arrows [23:25] ratcheer, also figure out why one of my two identical ubuntu systems wont print on my network when the other one will [23:26] geirha: thanks a lot, now I gonna dig into that xml-file... :-) [23:26] Cpt_Zyph, just try and ignore the 'compose' key :P [23:26] estacion03: I'm not sure. Are you trying to print to a printer on another machine, but on the same network? [23:26] cellardoor nod.. sry just didnt want to break my keyboard setup and then later on this week notice and not know hwo to repair it [23:26] yes [23:27] Jordan_U: two sec [23:27] ratcheer, like i said one works the other doesn{t [23:27] Cpt_Zyph, no worries :) don't worry you are not doing anything wrong by asking :) [23:27] estacion03: Are they all on the same workgroup?

[23:28] Yessir [23:28] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556359/ [23:28] ratcheer, another strange thing is one system found the exact model of my printer and the other didnt [23:28] estacion03: Just a sec, I'm going to look at mine. [23:28] does anyone know how to get a driver to work with in wine, but the driver is in the cd rom or D: drive [23:28] ok === RaNdY is now known as Guest47179 [23:28] ok, te guy just defriend me form fb, not sure whether he got help or not :-(. too sad we lost a potential ubuntu user [23:28] ghostnik11: you have the driver on a cd? [23:28] ghostnik11, you don't need wine.. look into ndiswrapper, it can integrate windows drivers into linux [23:29] cellardoor ok doing an update now [23:29] cellardoor seems fine now *) [23:29] Jordan_U: any idea what wrong with my stdio.h file? [23:29] I will now say the same thing in a non-spammy way: I have installed Linux about ten or twelve times, and I have never had any sort of issue with the installation. Indeed, the installation gliding through easily in a contempt mockery of other operating systems is one thing I like very much about Linux. [23:29] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556359/ [23:29] cellardoor: thanks, but the thing is that the driver with ndiswrapper doesn't work when i use the auto.inf file it gives me an error [23:30] So why then does my cursed laptop refuse to let me install the easiest to install operating system on the planet? [23:30] Cpt_Zyph, okay, now run sudo apt-get upgrade [23:30] estacion03: Mine don't use url's, they are using "smb:", which probably means Samba. Are yours like that? [23:30] tensorpudding: yeah it is on cd but comes in exe files for windowns [23:30] ndiswrapper doesn't work on all drivers [23:30] you might be out of luck [23:30] ghostnik11, have a google about mate.. search "Ubuntu + Ndiswrapper" there will be loads of people with the same troubles as you [23:30] I have been using ubuntu since 8.04 and have ran into a few issue but overall it's not enough to make me not want to not use it. [23:30] ratcheer. the one that works is like urs, the other is using an ip address [23:31] cellardoor done no errors [23:31] ratcheer, i figured that was the problem i just cant find a way to change it [23:31] tensorpudding: nah i will figure it out, this is ubuntu and linux nothing is impossible [23:31] Cpt_Zyph, is that all okay now then? :) [23:31] ghostnik11, good words! [23:31] estacion03: Sorry, I really don't know. [23:31] cellardoor i believe soo thank ya vmuch for that.. i did it a 2nd time no hang ups [23:31] ratcheer, anywhere you can direct me to? [23:31] Cpt_Zyph, there ya go, up to date :) now what was this you mentioned about the wireless drivers causing lockups? [23:32] ghostnik11: it's always possible for you to write your own drivers [23:32] ratcheer, ubuntu server said this would be the place for answers? [23:32] cellardoor well i asked a while ago and showed someone my dmesg log and they said OOoOo yoru wireless driver sucks thats prob why its locking up.. and thats about as far as that got.. 8/ === dimensionalArtif is now known as benfclark [23:32] estacion03: It may be easier to get an answer on ubuntuforums.org [23:32] cellardoor so i couldnt [23:32] Cpt_Zyph: well, what is your wireless device? [23:32] So gents, I was able to get so far as the screen where it asks if I would like to install Ubuntu or try the live version, after which it goes to the blinking cursor from hell. I humbly ask for any input anyone may have. At the cursor del diablo Ctrl Alt F1 is of no use, also. [23:33] Cpt_Zyph, open 'Advanced Drivers' from System>Administration, and tell me which wireless driver you are running, and your notebook model [23:33] tensorpudding: okay, never thought of that will look that up in google and see if i can, if i don't get it to work with wine [23:33] ratcheer, thats why im here i cant seem to find it there [23:34] heya [23:34] can anyone tell me which remote desktop software is easy to use to automaticly log into a machine (linux to linux) [23:34] well in the additonal drivers window it currently has the Broadcom STA driver activated and the b43 not activated [23:34] how can I force the monitor to run at 50Hz instead of 60? [23:34] nvidia-glx driver [23:34] ghostnik11: i was somewhat joking, writing device drivers for linux requires a good bit of knowledge [23:34] Cpt_Zyph: lol, those devices work fine w/ Linux.. who on earth tod you it was "bad"... do you know which broadcom you have? [23:34] tensorpudding, was gonna say.. [23:35] it's not at all impossible though [23:35] I have a html page I want to serve, it is a simple links page, nothing complicated, is there a webserver app that is simple/lite ?? [23:35] Cpt_Zyph, which model of notebook? [23:35] gmg: do you mean to remotely operate the login screen or make a remote session? === Ricky__ is now known as Guest59833 [23:35] estacion03: I would try deleting that printer, making sure the Samba config specifies the correct workgroup, and then add the printer, again. Making sure it is added as a Samba connection. [23:35] tensorpudding: doesn't matter how long it will take, as long as i can read the information, i might be able to get it to work [23:35] according to lspci i have a braodcom corp bcm4312 which every guide says simply install.. plug in .. update preto. which is what i did and im on wifi with it now working fine === Guest59833 is now known as BigRicky [23:35] cellardoor dell mini vostro 9 [23:35] Cpt_Zyph: i just helped someone set that device up yesterday or the day before... i think it needs the b43 [23:36] if you have the specs for your device, maybe it would not be so difficult, but reverse-engineering is really painful [23:36] !broadcom | Cpt_Zyph [23:36] Cpt_Zyph: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:36] to make a remote session..i need to log into a linux system automaticly any time of the day. [23:36] Cpt_Zyph, good computer :) [23:36] ratcheer can you help me do that im not good with samba [23:36] guys i need to know where do programmes install in ubuntu linux [23:36] idar: Do you get the same error from "/usr/bin/gcc hello_world.c"? [23:36] Cpt_Zyph, what happens in these.. lockups? [23:36] Jordan_U: I get that error from helloworld.c yes [23:36] cellardoor well if im watching a movie hangs and sound get stuck and repeats.. if im list [23:36] mehok: under /usr/bin for binaries, /usr/share for shared files, /usr/lib for libraries [23:36] Jordan_U: Yes, sorry [23:36] Cpt_Zyph, watching over the internet, right? [23:37] idar: When gcc is invoked with the full path to the binary? [23:37] cellardoor list'n to pandora radio or something at work it hangs the music.. or the system just does a freeze and locks up without doing anything o nthe internet but im still connnected [23:37] for example the xmbc programme [23:37] estacion03: I can try. Mine has been set up for a long time and I don't mess with it much. [23:37] cellardoor no sometimes its just a avi file [23:37] over the internet [23:37] mehok: did you install it using ubuntu? [23:37] Cpt_Zyph, that isn't your wireless at all.. thats a ALSA or video decoding issue.. [23:37] Jordan_U: gcc -I /usr/include ?? [23:37] cellardoor but its pretty much a old school freeze have to hold down power button to reboot [23:37] yea [23:37] ratcheer thats fine im not worried about messing this up [23:37] mehok: what is xmbc? [23:37] Jordan_U: There is only one stdio.h on my filesystem [23:37] media player [23:38] Cpt_Zyph: so is your wireless working or not?... [23:38] like windows media center [23:38] mehok: try 'whereis xbmc' [23:38] cellardoor well sense its a freeze im told thats why im not seeing errors in a log file... so how do i work on trouble shooting that problem to narrow it down to the root [23:38] idar: Run exactly this, nothing more and nothing less (in the directory containing helloworld.c): /usr/bin/gcc helloworld.c [23:38] KM0201 yep has been like a champ [23:38] where tha hell do i try that [23:38] estacion03: Go to System - Administration - Printers. Select the printer you cannot use and see if there is an option to delete or remove it. [23:38] Cpt_Zyph: oh, i thought you said you were having problems w/ it... [23:38] Cpt_Zyph, you listen to pandora using their official program? [23:38] terminal or [23:38] mehok: in the terminal [23:38] KM0201 just someone rdo or something told me mthat driver suckede and i was locking cuz of it [23:38] Jordan_U: Same problem [23:38] ok [23:38] idar: Ok. [23:38] cellardoor no couldnt get that applet working so i use firefox through their site [23:38] Cpt_Zyph: thats ridiculous.... a lot of people use that device w/o issue [23:39] KM0201 i figured the same but im so new to this i was like well.... humm... *) unknown to me atm [23:39] Jordan_U: Any ideas? === NotBot is now known as Not [23:39] idar: Do you have a directory named "gcc" in the same directory as helloworld.c? [23:39] Jordan_U: nope [23:39] Cpt_Zyph, I am afraid I don't know what to suggest.. try listening to it some other way and see if it locks up doing that? if it doesnt, it could mean that there is something up with firefox? doesnt explain the ,avi problem though [23:39] Cpt_Zyph: i can't explain your locking up/freezing.. but i feel fairly confident whatever it is, it is not related to your wireless device. [23:40] Which program is the easiest for remote sessions? (linux to linux) [23:40] Hi, When connecting a VGA cable to my Sony VGN-NS20S Ubuntu freezes. I can still see the whole screen but it does not respond to trackpad, keyboard inc. Ctrl+Alt+F1 and SysRq. Any help please? [23:40] Jordan_U: It runs gcc , and the binary is a 64 bit version. stdio.h comes from libc6-dev [23:40] gmg: do you demand a remote shell, or do you want something like a remote desktop [23:40] gmg: vnc is good, but if you want quick, dirty, and easy.. just use teamviewer [23:41] cellardoor the best way i could describe the random ness of the freeze would be a overheating CPU.. if i was dealing with a windows box which im familar with and troublshooting the Hardware i would of gotten down to the best discription overheating video card or cpu problem.. as i would of done a ram test already as well as driver checks etc.. [23:41] remote desktop...to view a other desktop on mine over the internet [23:41] gmg: ssh provides secure remote shells, vnc provides mostly insecure remote desktops [23:41] Cpt_Zyph, i doubt its an overheating cpu :/ [23:41] Cpt_Zyph: well.. i guess i'll state the obvious, is your laptop over heating [23:41] cellardoor i appreciate ya time tho .. i have enabled boot logging in hopes that after a freeze it would leave me some trail to follow but thus far i dont know exactly were else to look to find out what locked up or got hung [23:41] gmg: You can try vinagre [23:41] KM0201 na its deffently not a hardware overheating issue.. just thats the only way to discribe how random it is [23:41] gmg: but you can start vnc using System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop [23:42] Cpt_Zyph, thats ok, I have to go now, catch me another time, here http://twitter.com/samcater, thanks for being an avid user :) [23:42] KM0201 if your familar with CPU heating up problems that hwo random it is [23:42] gmg: teamviewer is very easy w/ that... it also makes it where if one of the parties is a moron, and can't open ports on a router, it will bypass allt hat [23:42] cellardoor thanks dude [23:42] Cpt_Zyph: yup, i am.. i just figured i'd ask the obvious question [23:42] gmg: it's easy and requires little thought [23:42] gmg: but don't do it if you don't trust your local network [23:42] KM0201 understood .. np *) [23:43] Hi [23:43] Can you set teamviewer so that it can log in automaticly? [23:43] that is more a job for LogMeIn [23:43] I am running the Open source ATI drivers for my Radeon 200M, and GLXgears does not work (says segmentation fault) is this normal ? [23:43] gmg: i believe so... but i don't use that option [23:44] Anom_: Does any other 3D things run? [23:44] such [23:44] Anom_: Segmentation Fault is a memory error in a C-Program [23:44] looking for some help on running a virtual ubuntu on my windows7 machine... [23:44] I need for a pc that doesn't have a user or a mouse, keyboard or screen [23:44] Anom_: a game, lets say urbanterror or sauerbraten [23:44] well afk time gatta do a little work before it gets any later thanks again for the help guysl... ill have to find out mroe abuot logs and or known issues with these dells and their hardware maybe thats a problem [23:44] vanguard, thats strange, I wonder if it has to do with this Edgers thing (Gallium) that I installed [23:44] daveSizzle: what do you need help for [23:44] anyone? [23:45] daveSizzle: what do you need help with? [23:46] guys, i've been trying to get ET to work with sound, but it says that /dev/dsp doesn't exist. what can i do about this? padsp doesn't work [23:46] idar: No idea. Try asking in ##c or #gcc. [23:46] Hi, When connecting a VGA cable to my Sony VGN-NS20S Ubuntu freezes. I can still see the whole screen but it does not respond to trackpad, keyboard inc. Ctrl+Alt+F1 and SysRq. Any help please? [23:46] furi: Have you tried "aoss" instead of padsp? What error message do you get with padsp? [23:47] Jordan_U: thanks [23:47] idar: You're welcome. [23:47] http://i.imgur.com/4q1us.png [23:47] !ati [23:47] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:47] Another thing is how do you set a 3G USB modem to redial a connection when the pc restarts? [23:47] Is it possible to remove the root password from my system? [23:48] Jordan_U: it says "sorry, your sound card can't do this" something like that [23:48] Jordan_U: will try aoss [23:48] ~ati [23:48] !ati [23:48] Hilarie: i don't think so, and even if you could, you don't want to.... you might as well use windows [23:48] I get random load average spikes, accompanied with htop showing HUGE red bars in the CPU lines [23:48] Hilarie: Yes. [23:48] hi [23:48] What are the disadvantages of removing the password? [23:49] VERY FUNNY...I need a permanent connection to a workstation in case of power dips [23:49] Hilarie: Ubuntu has no root password by default, instead you use sudo. [23:49] Hilarie: Ubuntu does not have a root password by default !sudo [23:49] Hilarie: If you have set a root password then it is definitely good to remove it again. [23:49] !sudo | Hilarie [23:49] Hilarie: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [23:50] Hilarie: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Re-disabling%20your%20root%20account [23:50] it's not really a great idea to have a root password set at all [23:50] hi, I installed the fglrx drivers, but they don't work, how do I reset by drivers back to ATI ? === andrew_ is now known as Guest79386 [23:50] gmg: what software are you using to negotiate the 3g modem? [23:50] the whole concept of "root" is fundamentally flawe [23:50] hi [23:50] *flawed [23:50] I was confusing what root was [23:50] it's an outmoded throwback to the 1970s [23:50] jfdncdkd fcsj djd zxz [23:50] I am looking to get rid of the password to install things [23:50] Hilarie: What is your end goal? [23:50] Anom_: did you install the driver from ATI's website? [23:51] Gnome PPP [23:51] To not type in passwords when I am installing things, if I wanted that, I might as well use vista :P [23:51] Hilarie: Such a configuration is not supported here. Those prompts exist for a good reason. [23:51] Hilarie: it's easy to do that [23:51] Hilarie: just no. seriously you'd want to allow anyone to install anything without a prompt? [23:52] It redials when the line is droped but does redail when i restart the PC [23:52] gmg: that software looks to be dead [23:52] Hilarie: in fact, it's a case of adding a single word to a single line in a config file [23:52] Hilarie: but I'm not going to tell you which one === zhang is now known as Guest38827 [23:52] gmg: you probably just need to add it to the default start applications [23:52] and remote exploits become much easier for malicious crackers. [23:52] That's enough for me to keep it :) [23:52] I did but doesn't dial the number [23:52] Hilarie: once you've worked it out for yourself, you'll see why it's a bad idea ;-) [23:53] Hi, When connecting a VGA cable to my Sony VGN-NS20S Ubuntu freezes. I can still see the whole screen but it does not respond to trackpad, keyboard inc. Ctrl+Alt+F1 and SysRq. If I connact before boot it works fine. [23:53] gmg: the documentation for it might help === Guest38827 is now known as hope [23:53] gmg: as it stands, it's just a front-end for wvdialer [23:53] gmg: you can probably configure wvdialer to start when you boot up [23:53] I have been looking everywhere..just cant find a (stay connected software) [23:53] can anyone help with a printing configuration issue [23:53] boa noite [23:54] KM0201, ATI 200M is not supported [23:54] Maybe I should surf porn and hope to get a dailer virus he he he [23:54] with XORG 7.5 [23:54] Anom_: i understand that, but how did you install it, thats going to determine how you uninstall it [23:54] Do those even still exist gmg? [23:55] gmg: look up the documentation for wvdial [23:55] In windows yes [23:55] KM0201, well, everything seems to be working good with the right resolutions now with the open source ATI drivers [23:55] Anom_: ok.. so..? why are you wanting to mess w/ it [23:55] Will try that but don;t think I will understand whats going on [23:56] Is it possible in ubuntu to set up music sharing that would work with win7? [23:56] I am trying to use iptables -t mangle, I want to test my rules, is there a way to reapply my mangle rules to the active connections ? [23:56] Hilarie: sure you can use samba to share folders [23:56] gmg: honestly, it would appear that Gnome's PPP awareness is being deprecated by lack of people actually using it [23:57] Hilarie: you mean as the share that displays within windows media player? [23:57] @zaelyx that would be ideal [23:57] Hilarie: there is also the web interface in VLC which allows you to remotely control what VLC plays out of the server's remote speakers (or to make it play movies ;)) [23:57] ‎i cant open any files from 4shared.com [23:57] hola [23:57] ‎the file format are ZIP [23:57] alguien [23:57] Well if you can point me the direction then i would be happy to use something els [23:58] what happened to the vino option that only allowed connections from localhost? [23:58] alguien sabe un canal en español [23:58] !es | vitual [23:58] vitual: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [23:58] KM0201, sorry for the wait, we are just having issues with Edgers / Gallium, and google earth / glxgears [23:58] ‎http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/mnEK6qIo/Ostad_Mohammad_Reza_Shajarian.html [23:58] ok gracias [23:58] ‎you can click Download all files and get one big ZIP file [23:59] This Samba thing would essentially create a network drive? [23:59] ‎but i cant open zip file :( [23:59] Hilarie: yes, a share which would appear and be accessible to your LAN systems [23:59] Awesome, that'll work, thank yiou [23:59] Anyone here have a ATI 200M video card ?
