[00:00] erghezi: you can extract it using: unzip /path/to/filename.zip or right click it in Nautilus [00:00] Anom_: i believe in /usr/share/ati you should have a fglrx-uninstall.sh so you should be able to cd to that directory then run sudo sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh [00:00] I need help...

[00:02] rusty149: That's the command I use. [00:02] does gnome-term save bash history anywhere other than ~/.bash_history? I just did something dumb and need to get rid of it. [00:02] wtf? [00:02] Hilarie: It's like media player in windows 7 sharing, shows up and you can access the shared files, I've used it in the past, it works well. [00:02] That's awesome, 2 solutions to try [00:03] nvm [00:03] got it [00:03] thanks [00:03] BlueBomber7: whats the folder path? your home, network drive, removable storage, system folder? [00:03] MagusOTB: thats all, if you delete the file and close all terminals, you will make a new file [00:03] Hilarie: I use it to stream to my PS3, which I couldnt figure out how to do any other way. [00:03] ActionParsnip: Okay, cool. Thanks. [00:04] MagusOTB: or if you edit the file you can delete the line, your call [00:04] Oh Oh allmost forgot...where can I get software so that my 3G voice modem can receive calls?

[00:08] what is a good one to use then? [00:08] hi is it normal for sshd to be running evern after I do a ./etc/init.d/ssh stop? [00:08] !pdf [00:08] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/okular/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [00:08] anyone know what the default battery monitor is for ubuntu? I'm trying to get cli output regarding my remaining battery life [00:08] it gets a new pid so it does something, [00:08] mmm... not familiar with it. what does whereis say? [00:08] sysop3: if there are open connections, I believe so [00:08] sysop3: yes [00:08] how can I kill all open connections? [00:08] sysop3: use /sshd stop [00:09] whereis? [00:09] /etc/init.d/sshd stop? [00:09] there is a 'killall XXXX' command should close connections [00:09] I do but it reopens with a new id [00:09] like 'killall smuxi' [00:10] I had a hacker crack a password on a non privledged account and was running perl. [00:10] I deleted the user and home files but I cant get this sshd to stop running. [00:11] am I paranoid or is it just me. I stopped ssh at the firewall they arent getting in that way. [00:11] kill -9 and the pid [00:11] i do but a new pid gets created. [00:11] oh [00:11] Does anyone now how to receive calls to a USB 3G modem with sim card? [00:11] sysop3: use sudo to kill it [00:12] gmg: run: lsusb websearch the 8 character hex ID to find guides [00:12] I do. its gets a new pid because its getting killed and restarting. killing it more wont help [00:12] sounds good, kill -9 pid [00:12] opps sudo kill -9 [00:12] sysop3: remove it from rc.d and then reboot [00:12] kill -9 sounds like a horrible idea. [00:12] Thanks [00:12] I am running 10.10 64bit and am trying to configure openvpn, however need to set a static ip for my connection, where is the config file please? [00:12] why [00:12] tyler_d: is it the IP for the VPN link? [00:13] someone know a battery monitor for Ubuntu 10.10? The default one is fine, I just need to know it's cli name [00:13] sysop3: kill the user's shell that's using ssh [00:13] tyler_d: wouldn't it be eaier to set that through your router? [00:13] xil: acpi -v or maybe acpi -V [00:13] I rebooted he is not on the box any more. [00:13] ActionParsnip: its not the gateway, I have been assigned a static ip by the admin [00:13] he was connecting from china and romina [00:13] Jordan_U: tried aoss to no avail [00:13] actionparsnip: don't have acpi. I can get, should I? [00:14] but my question is, is it normal for ssh to restart like that automatically after I kill or stop it? [00:14] tyler_d: if you right click nm-applet -> edit connections you can edit the link and set a static IP [00:14] hi - i m a complete moron can any1 tell me how to run a printer driver i have downloaded from terminal using the sudo command? [00:14] sysop3: if you don't want ssh to start automatically, you can create a "/etc/ssh/sshd_not-To_be_run" file (the init script says this) [00:14] or is some left over hacker stuff? [00:14] xil: sudo apt-get install acpi [00:14] ActionParsnip: greyed out [00:14] sysop3: i recommend you install rkhunter and scan your system [00:14] sysop3: my ssh does not continue if I run "sudo service ssh stop". But if I have open connections, they will persist. [00:14] I dont want ssh not run. I just want to know if its normal. [00:14] tyler_d: is it currently connected? [00:15] ActionParsnip: no [00:15] ok so its not normal. [00:15] where can I submit an issue wit gedit syntax highlighting of erlang code? [00:15] I will try what you said ActionParsnip thanks. [00:15] sysop3: if your system was compromised, I recommend you reinstall and restore from safe backups...

[00:17] steven_: what make / model printer? [00:17] samsung ml1665 [00:17] ZykoticK9: what is "ubuntu-bug gedit" ? [00:17] steven_: ok and what filename/s do you have? === P is now known as Guest21671 [00:18] bencc, ubuntu-bug is the program to report bugs/issues to Ubuntu. It requires the package name after it, in this case gedit [00:18] okay, i have a laptop that ubuntu does not like :( can anyone help me troubleshoot it? [00:18] the files called autorun [00:18] ok did a apt-get remove openssh-server and the process went away [00:18] going to reinstall and see that fixes things [00:18] steven_: that will most likely be the windows driver which is of no use to you [00:18] i downloaded it from samsung its supposed 2 b the linux driver [00:18] ZykoticK9: is it ok to sumbit to ubuntu or do I need to submit to gedit directly? [00:19] ActionParsnip: no, I can configure a static ip if I need to, however its only openvpn that requires the static, I should be able to configure it... if not through gui through cli at least [00:19] maybe i downloaded the wrong dirver [00:19] gparted: how do you launch it from the command line without the GUI? [00:19] bencc, ? either is probably fine, if it's a bug - it should move upstream [00:19] sysop3: you might want to purge, to remove all the config files too if you're starting anew [00:19] steven_: http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ [00:19] ty [00:20] I've tried: gksu gparted /dev/sdc1 [00:20] but it still launches the gui [00:20] ZykoticK9: thanks [00:20] tyler_d: could add an entry for it in /etc/network/interfaces [00:21] melow01: gparted is the gui to parted [00:21] ActionParsnip: that doesn't make sense though... [00:21] ActionParsnip, doh! thanks [00:21] ActionParsnip: do you know where the config file is for the client? [00:22] melow01: so the gui will obviously run.... If you run: sudo parted /dev/diskname it will use the CLI interface [00:22] Hmm, what have i done? LOL i did the 10.10 upgrade (or so i thought) but instead i went to 11.04, guess i'm an over achiever [00:22] tyler_d: not sure, possibly in ~/.config maybe [00:22] melow01: Also, use gksu for graphics programs and sudo for command-line [00:22] Wiesshund: you probably run: sudo update-manager -d [00:23] Wiesshund: If you're looking at the About Ubuntu page, it shows 11.04 on 10.10 too. Known bug. [00:23] Wiesshund: what does « lsb_release -c » say? [00:23] Wiesshund, did you use -d to update? that brings you to Development, thus 11.04 [00:23] Zaelyx: s/he was using gksudo which is fine [00:23] ActionParsnip: no joy [00:23] ActionParsnip i just clicked the big fat upgrade button in update manager. i had been holding off due to the 10.10 issues with ati video, and my nic driver [00:23] ActionParsnip, I'm still learning [00:24] melow01: we all are :) [00:24] ActionParsnip, Zaelyx thanks, good to know [00:24] I'm not. My brain is full. [00:24] rww: every day is a school day :) [00:24] rww: you could still be overwriting existing knowledge :) [00:24] ActionParsnip: grepping in my ~ for it [00:25] Jordan_U: on aoss, instead of saying that /dev/dsp doesn't exist, it says "/dev/dsp: invalid argument \ could not mmap /dev/dsp" [00:25] melow01: A great book to get more into the linux commands is Ubuntu Linux Toolbox, I've found it very helpful [00:25] furi: Unfortunately you can't emulate mmap :( [00:25] I can't remember if I told xubuntu to only include open source software during the install. Is there an easy way to go in afterwards and remove any non-free software? [00:25] ActionParsnip never mind, the about ubuntu file says 11.04 but it's incorrect system says its using 10.10, darn i was kind of excited for a second [00:26] Jordan_U: so i'm pretty much stuck without any in-game audio whatsoever? [00:26] 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.

I know there is a #suckless channel on another server but I'm wondering if there is a place on freenode? [00:27] Wiesshund: Yes [00:27] furi: You can try "pasuspender". [00:27] hi, every body [00:27] Jordan_U: well... i already did, but all it does is mute my sound completely until i close it [00:28] Zaelyx, I actually have that book!

But i could not find any info on a solution at all [00:34] amdk: if you need help with a windows program through wine, ask #winehq, they're the experts on wine [00:34] amdk: do you mean XBMC, not xmbc? [00:35] with which program can I create a product brochure with linux? [00:35] gmg: scribus, writer [00:35] Is is free? [00:35] yes i do [00:36] Wiesshund: I can't even do that.

Any ideas? === Thomas___ is now known as Ripp__ [00:46] masai47: primary is a partition as yuo expect. You can only have 4 primary partitions.

[00:49] ActionParsnip: I have 3x 500gb and was thinking of installing it as RAID, 300mb partion for /boot as ext2, 2GB swap, and the rest on each for a RAID5 partition for the ext4 / partition. Thoughts? [00:49] glider: thats not a question ;) [00:49] masai47: ive not used a seperate /boot partition. I always use 10Gb for / 1xRAM for swap and the rest for /home [00:49] thanks for your help, I guess I should do this on Windows then DAMM [00:50] It randomly disconnects... and so I unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work again.

I have access to a printer driver/app deb from Brother that is compiled for i386 and I run amd64 however they have (old) instructions on their site saying I should install ia32-libs and lib32stdc++ and then run dpkg -i --force-all on the deb but I want to know, how safe is it really to force an install of an i386 deb file on a amd64 install? [00:50] hi [00:50] can i ask? [00:50] glider: if you run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the chip.

I unmounted the drive, but can't format bc its unable to find mount point. GParted says I need dosfstools and mtools packages, which I have... [00:55] do i just download the laptop-mode from software centre? [00:55] rww: what did I say that was impolite? [00:55] thanks Wiesshund [00:56] is there some way to REALLY restart apache? i try a config change, /etc/init.d/apache2 restart, and don't see the change. Reboot the computer though, and I see it. [00:56] gmg: I guess. I use apt-get but other people push aptitude but software center, afaik, does the same thing [00:56] craigbass1976: /etc/init.d/apache restart [00:56] luxurymode: mtools package will have what you need to format if you want windows filesystem [00:56] thanks [00:56] i what host web site ubuntu server with domain name [00:56] jetole: restart really restarts apache... though usually you only want a to do a "reload" [00:56] mellin: right, but i have that package installed already... [00:56] jetole, like I said, changes to the config file aren't taking effect until I reboot. [00:56] jrib: yes it does [00:56] craigbass1976: restart really restarts apache... though usually you only want a to do a "reload" (sorry jetole :P) [00:56] gmg in software center i believe it is package name laptop-mode-tools [00:57] luxurymode: Ok so do you want a windows filesytem or not? [00:57] craigbass1976: if you want to be really sure, run: ps -A -o pid,cmd | grep apache [00:57] mellin: guess so. [00:57] craigbass1976: kill all the pid you find then run that command again and make sure they are dead [00:57] craigbass1976: then run /etc/init.d/apache start [00:57] I found it thanks [00:57] craigbass1976: however /etc/init.d/apache restart should do it [00:58] how do you compare values in bash? [00:58] MrUnagi: try #bash [00:58] if 1 = 1; then echo yes; fi [00:58] ? [00:58] jrib: what did you say sorry for? [00:58] jetole: I meant to send it to craigbass1976 [00:58] any grep experts in here? [00:58] luxurymode: Ok then what I am saying is you need to use mtools to do the format not Gparted. Although I am sure someone else knows how to get gparted to use mtools with an option to format windows [00:58] jrib: oh cool [00:58] lol no one like this dis do you :P [00:58] luxurymode: do a man mtools [00:58] m0ngr31: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [00:58] is rww a bot? [00:58] jetole: no [00:58] mellin: how do i pull up mtools? [00:59] jetole: he is a super robot [00:59] Does anyone have any idea why my AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter might be randomly disconnecting? [00:59] How do I record with Tvtime? Do I need a separate program? [00:59] m0ngr31: vlc -help | grep speed will show line of vlc -help containing speed mentioned [00:59] type iwconfig [00:59] mellin: can i just use system > admin > disk utility and delete the partition? [00:59] luxurymode: Well you will have to open up a terminal then issue the "man mtools" without quotes it will detail how and what commands to use to format your device [00:59] lol. rww: if you have 5 apples and your remove two then what col or is the mooon? [00:59] luxurymode: You could [01:00] jetole: sleeping furiously [01:00] haha [01:00] hello all! I am trying to setup a RAID1. I have done this before but I am a little fuzzy on the details. The tough part is I already have a disk with 100GB of data I wish to keep, I just want to add an additional hard drive to mirror the data already on the first w/o losing data [01:00] mellin: select FAT if i want it to be windows? i need my xbox to be able to read media on it... [01:00] I found a problem with Ubuntu 10.10...when I plug out my monitor...wait 1 hour...plug it back then my screen stalls but everything els still works [01:00] I said the p o r n word in a joking manner and got called impolite so I assumed it was a bot [01:00] ok, i'm using a python script to get info from amazon about products. the script returns a bunch of 10 digit numbers. i'm trying to trim the output, but it's not really working... anyone know what i would grep/cut? [01:01] luxurymode: Indeed that is what you want [01:01] ntfs luxurymode [01:01] mellin: thanks for your help. [01:01] luxurymode: that too [01:01] join [01:01] m0ngr31: paste a sample line, otherwise it's impossible to help you [01:01] luxurymode or fat32 [01:01] #join [01:01] Op3y: it doesnt say NTFS... just "FAT" [01:01] jetole: try to be less funny and more helpful. the humor in telling people that they can't ask questions often fails to reach the other person when they don't speak English as their first language. [01:01] luxurymode: NP I don't know much just a little that is why I'm here too! [01:01] for your xbox [01:01] m0ngr31, have you tried using regular expressions? [01:02] jrib: this is what i have so far (it's in a bash script): search1=$(python asin_search.py "$title" "$author" | grep B0 | cut -d' ' -f1) [01:02] i was able to do it then i setup a server with it [01:02] rww: well he asked anyways? [01:02] oh well do fat [01:02] er, s/?// [01:02] trying to install wintricks it says that its not authenticated and won't let me install it, how can i install it [01:02] m0ngr31: if we have no clue what the output of asin_search.py is, we can't really help you [01:02] mellin: oh man, getting errors. its telling me to add "Add mtools_skip_check=1" to my .mtoolsrc file to skip some test.... [01:02] jrib: B000FA5QEK B000Q9INTK B000FC1VUQ [01:02] m0ngr31: and what do you want it to looko like afterwards? [01:02] m0ngr31, and its hex even [01:03] Op3y: my bad there is NTFS -- that worked. [01:03] luxurymode if its for a xbox you need th hd code that the xbox sets as well [01:03] Is anyone familiar with belkin N wireless adapters? [01:03] luxurymode: Just a sec and let me see if I have it installed and I will try to tell you the path to get to that file for editing [01:03] m0ngr31, just use cut the way you have it [01:03] jetole: perhaps you missed the part where he said he felt unwelcome and left :( [01:03] luxurymode but your good if its working :) [01:03] mellin: no need. NTFS worked [01:03] m0ngr31, without grep [01:03] jrib: i just want the first number [01:03] glider, from any network, or one in particular? I'm noticing (over the course of a year or two) that my belkin wirleess router sucks; any high traffic on it and the wireless hoses hard; the rest of the network (wired) is fine, but anything in the house runing on wireless (other laptops, the wii) won't get on until I power down the router [01:04] Ill ask again, how do I record with TvTime? [01:04] btw, rww I helped 4 people including selem who I told can't ask in the 15 minutes I have been in here without having my question answered and all you have said is that I am unprofessional and impolite so perhaps you should better analyze the situation... ah yes, rww, and I answered by saying he is welcome to ask about ubuntu. Sorry if you missed that [01:04] I just installed APTONCD from the software centre but it's nowhere to be seen [01:04] Op3y: copying video now. gonna see if it works fine on xbox [01:04] luxurymode when you get all of this setup you need to get a PSP for your all in one cuntroler [01:04] glider: i assume it doesnt work. if it new then maybe driver isnt in kernel so ull need to google to find it and manually install it [01:04] bbiab. Going for a smoke [01:04] m0ngr31: use cut or awk then [01:04] Op3y: whaddya mean? === v-himanshu is now known as himanshu [01:04] mod the PSP [01:04] jetole: dont talk about that here and me too ;) [01:04] craigbass1976: The problem I am having is with my adapter... it randomly decides to disconnect... especially if I am using apt [01:05] jrib: i'm using cut in my command, but i guess i'm doing it wrong. do you know what switch(es) i would use? [01:05] you will see if you look around [01:05] m0ngr31, I think you [01:05] Op3y: ah, gotcha. i got so many things going on, that is not a top priority. everything in my life is modded and hacked and rooted, bla bla [01:05] you can link the PSP to wifi and ssh to linux [01:05] m0ngr31, cut right [01:05] luxurymode: Ok cool [01:05] m0ngr31, just leave grep out [01:05] m0ngr31: cut -d' ' -f1 does what you want [01:05] Op3y: that sounds sick. link me to some more info? [01:06] its all what i know from doing it [01:06] no links i would have to put something togeather [01:06] Is this the wrong place for my question? [01:06] mrbluessbb: !ask [01:06] mrbluessbb what is the question? :) [01:06] jrib, can you see this?

[01:07] jrib, OK, I always feel like people can't see what I'm typing. [01:07] Kangaroo: It does work... I am connected right now through the router.. it just seems to give out when I am browsing or using APT [01:07] jrib, or like I'm being ignored. [01:07] DEAD_BEEF: still does the same thing. [01:07] Everyone I have created a file named mountg then did chmod +x mountg. At this point it has set file permissions rwx for root. So should I also chgroup the file to like adm or admin or another for extra security?

[01:11] hi. what's the preferred way of manually stopping and starting squid on ubuntu? the init script mentioned in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Squid doesn't exist [01:11] google spydermod [01:11] Wiesshund: Does that translate to white hound into English? [01:11] Kangaroo: I have had this problem on three different routers now. [01:11] Wiesshund: your nick that is [01:12] mellin not really no, but its mistaken for white dog alot [01:12] qbb: try « sudo service squid START|STOP|RESTART » [01:12] jrib: unrecognized service [01:12] DEAD_BEEF: http://pastebin.com/sPTTz0Wn [01:12] qbb: how did you install squid? [01:12] Wiesshund: Guess I'll be googlin then...lol [01:12] weißhund is correct spelling [01:13] jrib: synaptic, took the default squid package and accepted to install the dependencies [01:13] qbb: what ubuntu version? [01:13] with out the silly english I before E rule :) [01:13] DEAD_BEEF: some items only have one block, but others have more results so i need to get it to the most relevant (the first) [01:13] jrib: 10.10 [01:13] Is Ubuntu designed to be easy to use? [01:13] qbb: do you have /etc/init/squid.conf? [01:13] jdoe_: it's one of the easiest ;) [01:13] jrib: yes, and squid itself works fine too [01:14] m0ngr31, so you want the first block from every line that has three, or from every line that has a block starting with B0 [01:14] qbb: try "squid3" instead of "squid" in my previous command [01:14] jrib: same error [01:14] DEAD_BEEF: the first block of every line that starts with B0 [01:14] qbb: can you pastebin /etc/init/squid.conf ? [01:15] m0ngr31, have you considered using the python regular expression module? [01:15] m0ngr31, I mean, you'd still have the problem, but it'd be solved inside the script [01:15] So does anyone know how unsafe it is to do a dpkg --force-all to install a 32 bit deb on a 64 bit system. This is the printer setup for a brother printer and they only have 32 bit and they also recommend doing this if you have a 64 bit system but I don't trust them [01:15] any idea why the ubuntu install would fail to resize an ntfs partition with sufficient room [01:16] hi [01:16] DEAD_BEEF: no, i'm no good at python. do you want to see my python script?

[01:18] sorry, how do I check, I dn;t know much about displays [01:19] rusty149: have you configured /etc/X11/xorg.conf or are you using the default setup that came with ubuntu? This also sounds like a driver bug to me [01:19] I have just set ub UBUNTU 10.4 LUCID, I am now trying to run a command in the terminal window that uses the bashshell, I am trying to setup some environment variables looking for ~/.bashrc but it is not finding any bash shell, I think I missed setting something up. [01:19] jrib: http://pastebin.com/9SWDHWGQ without the comments. it's the default squid.conf, haven't modified it at all yet [01:19] jetole: it is all default. How do I check drivers [01:19] rusty149: open a terminal and run: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then post it to pastebin.com or another site like that [01:19] So, does anyone know a solution to this bug? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-935575.html [01:19] shrink a windows partition on which is for xp , but I have not deleted temp files or update recovery figles or regisdtries or defraged not sure if I should for xp like this says http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=2892 [01:20] ^ jetole sorry forgot to [01:20] is anyone else running into this bug and have a fix? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/607399 [01:20] CJ23: you don't need to do any of that for shrinking a windows XP partition but instead you need to shrink the filesystem first [01:20] the filesystem? [01:20] jetole: file does not exist [01:20] CJ23: I caught it but try to rememeber that since it makes sure the person you are talking to sees the highlighted version [01:21] qbb: nah, I meant /etc/init/squid, but one sec while I check something [01:21] CJ23: yes, if you shrink the partition and not the filesystem then you will destroy it [01:21] djuggler: one sec [01:21] Sorry to interrupt the conversation, but: UBUNTU IS AWESOME! [01:21] oh crap [01:21] Hey what happens when we get to ubuntu Zany Zebra ? what do they become named then? [01:21] good thing I asked [01:21] rusty149: then I am not sure how you check the driver but try asking in #xorg [01:21] what did I not so in setting up my 10.4 Unbuntu so that it does not find .bashrc [01:21] CJ23: hold on one second [01:21] Wiesshund: AA [01:21] jetole: thanks [01:21] rusty149: np [01:21] is their a way I can manage my internet cost...I would like to track so that I don't go over my monthly downlaods [01:22] CJ23: I'm assuming this is ntfs [01:22] jetole: yep [01:22] gmg: i have seen some app for that, but i don't remember if it was on omg!ubuntu! or webupd8 blog [01:22] qbb: nah, I meant /etc/init/squid.conf (oops), but one sec while I check something [01:23] gparted wont automatically shrink the partition and your sure defrag isn't a bad idea [01:23] Hi. I need some help, please. I have a network with a windows 2003 server (is a domain controller) , an windows xp client, and a ubuntu 10.10 client. In windows server 2003, i can type the character "$" on the end of the folder name to hide (but not to unshare) the folder to windows xp. but ubuntu can see the folder, and i do not want the ubuntu client to see them. anybody knows a way to hide windows shared folders to ubuntu machines? than [01:23] ks! (i know that maybe this is a hard question, i am learning) [01:23] * ah jetole [01:23] CJ23: I just did a reinstall on this system and I don't have the tool to resize ntfs which I have used many times before so I am googling it but I found one site which says gparted can do this but the other tool I know from personal experience works well so hang in there [01:24] qbb: do you know of the "squid3" package's relationship to the "squid" package? [01:24] ruben_hood: just add a "." at start of the name of the file/directory [01:24] jrib: not really, but I reckon it's some sort of unstable version, if squid 2 is still the default squid package? [01:25] That is just other Ubuntu support sites [01:25] jetole: it's ntfs but it is nto C: it is data [01:25] but I will need to also resize C: jetole [01:25] CJ23: the format you want to do, say you want to shrink windows xp from 20 Gb to 15 GB, you would shrink the ntfs filesystem to as small as you can, you then shrink the partition to the prefered size, you then grow the ntfs file system to as large as you can which is limited by the size of the parittion. If you resize the partition, you want it to start on the same blocks. I typically use fdisk for this. If I print the parition and it says that the current ... [01:25] qbb: I see. I'm inclined to say that the missing file in /etc/init.d is a bug (if you see things like gdm, they have the upstart script and then a compatibility script in /etc/init.d) [01:25] ... partition starts on block 100 and ends on block 123456 then I delete the partition and recreate it, I make sure the partition starts on the same block (100) and specify the new size [01:26] CJ23: yes [01:26] CJ23: I have done that many times. I work in IT [01:26] xangua: oh thanks! that maybe work! [01:26] CJ23: deleting a partition does not delete data so you can delete a partition and create a new one, as long as it starts on the same block, you're data is intact... [01:26] jrib: yea, the others do. what are the files in /etc/init for? they're all .conf files but look more like init scripts to me [01:27] CJ23: but it's very important that you make sure you do not shrink the parition or delete then create a new partition smaller then the filesystem [01:27] jetole: are you sure about that? [01:27] qbb: they're used by upstart (replaced sysv init) [01:27] RoDiMuS-X: sure about what? [01:27] oh [01:28] jetole: deleting a partition and recreating it on the same block will not remove the data [01:28] RoDiMuS-X: very sure [01:28] RoDiMuS-X and CJ23: but... [01:28] gnome is responding to my IR remote's button presses. how do i tell gnome to ignore them? i only want specific programs like mythtv to repsond to my remote. [01:28] xangua: with adding a "." at start of the folder, will the folder become invisible even if "view hidden folder/files on ubuntu is activated? [01:28] qbb: does « start squid » work? [01:28] ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH it would be nice to have an operating system with a stable desktop. Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 [with closed source Nvidia driver] both suffer from screen lockups (unrecoverable X grabs) about 3 times a day for me...the open source driver isn't usable because the machine gets so hot that it shuts down after a while when I use it. [01:28] jetole: Hmm I must of done something wrong then cause all my stuff was gone [01:29] RoDiMuS-X and CJ23: be careful not to use a tool that will also remove the file system. a partition only tool such as fdisk only works on the partition table === Guest16008 is now known as RaNdY [01:29] I don't seem to have a bashrc file in my home directory, did I miss someting when I install UBUNTU [01:29] RoDiMuS-X: If you use fdisk, you delete a partition and then create one on the same blocks and write it and the partition types are identical then nothing is lost [01:29] why is this jetole ? Whats the difference from partition and a filesystem and the table? [01:29] Guest81956: create one then [01:29] *what is === RaNdY is now known as Guest93486 [01:29] jetole: yeah I did that, all my data was gone [01:29] RoDiMuS-X: you did something wrong [01:30] RoDiMuS-X: I have done this many times [01:30] Guest81956: it's .bashrc, and it's not shown by default in file manager or ls. Use Ctrl-h in the GUI or ls -a in the CLI. [01:30] ii can't write "." before the file on windows, it is not allowed [01:30] jetole: are you allowed to reboot after deleting the partition? [01:30] I selected the option to install ubuntu alongside windows. In the future, how can I delete windows? [01:30] CJ23: a partition table exists in the first part of a disk and is just a format of where one partition ends and another begins. It's just a simple mapping and is very small. A file system exists inside a partition and says where each file is located and what blocks it's mapped to [01:31] CaneToad: Sorry you are having issues... [01:31] m0ngr31, this is what I've come up with so far: re.match('B0.{8,}\s+', mystring) [01:31] qbb: and « stop squid » of course too :) I think these should work for pure upstart jobs [01:31] a block isn't always a physical location on a track of a plate on the hdd [01:32] RoDiMuS-X: yes and no. If you delete the partition and then reboot then it won't see the partition. If you launch an OS that expects that partition then it should fail. No Linux OS should attempt any type of automatic repair or repartitioning but windows may if it knows about and expects a partition table [01:32] CJ23: pardon? [01:32] hi there [01:32] the main bit being: B0.{8,}\s+ [01:32] CJ23: run: sudo fdisk -l [01:32] CJ23: you will see where it says start and end [01:32] ok [01:33] CJ23: if it's a MSDOS style partition table when it will have an exact start and end [01:33] for each partition [01:33] DEAD_BEEF: i get a syntax error when i try that. maybe because I'm on a mac? [01:33] you can also backup the partition table using... sfdisk I think it's called... one sec [01:33] yes: sfdisk [01:34] jetole: so when I ran the fdisk and deleted the partition, rebooted, booted in linux bash shell, ran fdisk, created partition, , and all my stuff was gone [01:34] CJ23: there is also a newer type of partition table, I forget what it's called but it does not rely on the start/end block [01:34] that's not gonna save you from all fuckery if you resize the partition to a smaller size than the filesystem though right? [01:34] RoDiMuS-X: I don't know what happened but you did something wrong [01:34] !language | CJ23 [01:34] CJ23: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:34] jetole: so you dont think it was the reboot which cause the actual deletion of the partition table [01:35] CJ23: you can resize the partition table smaller then the FS and nothing will be broken as long as you don't boot into the OS using that filesystem. After that, if you do boot into it then you will likely be up the creek without a paddle [01:35] I installed Xubuntu via WUBI . When I reboot into Xubuntu, it first says "Press ESC to add advanced boot options" and after some time (that is after the loading is complete) "Out of Sync / 67.5 kHz" . [01:35] sorry [01:35] CJ23: the tools I was trying to remember is called ntfsresize and is in the package ntfsprogs [01:36] RoDiMuS-X: Try restoring the partition with testdisk, in case you did not in fact use the same start and end blocks when you tried to recover it manually. [01:36] m0ngr31, did you: import re [01:36] oh ok but why would it screw stuff up after you ran the boot loader for the os? [01:36] jetole: [01:36] Jordan_U: alright I will give that a go, thanks [01:37] buenas! === vmjose is now known as Baunder [01:37] CJ23: so for example, if you want to go from 20GB to 15GB, resize the ntfs partition to 12GB, resize the partition to 15GB, resize the NTFS partition to max size [01:37] DEAD_BEEF: no, i told you i was worthless at python ;) [01:37] RoDiMuS-X: You're welcome. [01:37] how do i go about setting up sharing so another HD on my ubuntu machine that mounts as /media/Video is available to my other machines via samba? right clicking does not give me a sharing option [01:37] CJ23: ntfsresize will ask you to first boot into windows and allow it to run required checks on your disk. You can get around having to do this but you shouldn't [01:38] m0ngr31, but I think that re is close to getting at what you want [01:38] DEAD_BEEF: ok, i'll give it a shot [01:38] what is the name of the program for "Calibrate Touchscreen "? [01:39] DEAD_BEEF: is there reputation or anything on this channel so i can uprank you? [01:39] somebody knows how to hide a windows folder to ubuntu machines? $ at end of file works on windows, but not on ubuntu. anybody knows? [01:39] DEAD_BEEF: because i've gtg [01:39] wait what does the os if you screw up the filesystem by resizing the partition smaller than the fs and booting up then. What driver does what to the fs [01:39] m0ngr31, idk... me too. I'll be around, [01:39] m0ngr31: no [01:39] ruben_hood: why do you wish to hide it? [01:40] Is their a way I can monitor my internet brandwith monthly? [01:40] DEAD_BEEF: ok, well thanks for the help [01:40] m0ngr31, I'll keep trying to hash it out [01:40] jetole: could it work on linux after you wrecked it or is your point it's wrecked once you shrink part [01:40] jrib cause i want to hide the user profile from a domain to avoid users screwing it [01:40] gmg: happy that someone google it for you¿ http://tinyurl.com/2bv3s5n [01:40] jrib is a security concern [01:40] Is there a maximum hard drive size for a netbook? [01:41] thanks [01:41] does anyone know how i can get firefox in 9.10 to work like google chrome, that is, it can open PDF files within the browser === cory is now known as Guest74591 [01:42] new install, no sound, AC97, any ideas? [01:42] ruben_hood: hiding on linux is really "get out of my way because I don't want to see it". Putting a '.' in front of a filename (or using .hidden) is not for security. If you want something secure, you need to encrypt it. Is there a way to encrypt the file on windows? [01:42] hello [01:42] Is it possible to use xserver run in windows to connect ubuntu 10.10? [01:43] jrib yes, depending on the windows version [01:43] RoDiMuS-X: so you know, the partition table is in no way linked to a file system or any data inside that file system. It's the other way around, that data relies on the partition table. If you delete the partition table and re create an identical one, then the file system and the data inside of it don't know you made a change. The partition table exists at the start of the disk and is very small. It exists on a part of the disk that is outside of a ... [01:43] zhangzq71: you could use vnc, that's probably what you want [01:43] ... partition, the first 512 bytes with a MSDOS style partition (which despite the name is the common and popular format used for most all OS's for the last ~20 years until recently) and therefor if you change it within the allowable means then it will not cause harm to your data and if you delete and create a new one that is identical to the old one then there is no way an OS would know you made changes to it in the first place. If you delete it and ... [01:43] !vnc | zhangzq71 [01:43] ... create a smaller one but first you have resized your filesystem and you do not create a smaller one then the filesystem and it starts on the same location as the old one then your OS fille be fine so I don't know what you did but something was done wrong [01:43] jrib i can't type a "." at a start of a windows folder, windows don't allow it [01:43] I think the linux kernel release candidate may have the drivers for my friends laptop's touchpad. (It's currently only recognized as a PS/2 mouse) but he already has Ubuntu installed. Is there anyway to merge just part of the rc kernel with his current kernel? [01:43] Can you put a 750gb hard drive in a netbook? [01:44] ruben_hood: you missed my point :) [01:44] hey [01:44] yalls ... [01:44] Written like a Kaplan Data Forensics student thanks for the info jetole [01:44] jrib i only want that users don't manipulate their self-profile allocated on the windows 2003 server domain [01:44] i have no sound, AC97, can someone help? [01:45] ruben_hood: do you need to mount the ntfs partition at all (and give regular users permission to write to it)? [01:45] but I can use xming to connect ubuntu7.1 before [01:45] RoDiMuS-X: I don't know anything about Kaplan but I have been done data forensics before myself and I have worked at the byte level with partions before and I have been doing this for a very very long time [01:45] no i do not need to, because that partition is on the network [01:45] ruben_hood: then don't give it to them [01:45] I can't find the XDMCP enable option in ubuntu 10.10 now, why? [01:46] RoDiMuS-X: run: sudo sfdisk -d [01:46] RoDiMuS-X: That will show you all and everything inside the partition table. === milos_ is now known as mandara [01:46] bye all, good morning/night [01:46] RoDiMuS-X: The partition table doesn't know anything about filesystems and data and it shouldn't. Like I said it's the other way around where the file system needs to know about the partition table [01:46] jrib but i need to give full permission to users to change their self profile, because when they close their windows machine, their profile will upload to the windows 2003 server [01:47] one last thing...howcan I create OPML files? Rhythmbox needs these filesto import if I want to create a favorite radio stations list [01:47] jrib the problem is: is a user joins to the profile and creates files, they can screw it, but i need that users to join ubuntu [01:47] RoDiMuS-X: you can copy a partition table verbatim between disks by running, for example: sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb [01:47] is there a Windows channel? [01:47] bird_turd: #windows [01:47] jrib *if a user [01:47] so sfdisk -d /dev/sda shows everything in the partition table on /dev/sda [01:47] I need help reinstalling Grub2. I'm on a Live CD to be able to access my computer. [01:48] is it with this server? [01:48] bird_turd: yes [01:48] oh [01:48] how do i go about setting up sharing so another HD on my ubuntu machine that mounts as /media/Video is available to my other machines via samba? right clicking does not give me a sharing option [01:48] jetole: so possibly using swap space on the drive where the partition was deleted couldn't make it disappear? [01:48] ruben_hood: heh now I'm just confused. A couple of lines ago you said "i only want that users don't manipulate their self-profile" but now you say " i need to give full permission to users to change their self profile" :/ [01:48] do the user you sign in with samba have the same permissions as when you ssh in to the server I log in with the root user and cant create or write any thing when logd in with samba with the root user [01:48] I've read a few manuals on installing grub2 but I would like some hands on help if someone has about 10 minutes please. [01:49] jrib i need that users manipulate their profile but from windows, not from ubuntu [01:49] excuse me...one last thing...howcan I create OPML files? Rhythmbox needs these filesto import if I want to create a favorite radio stations list [01:49] ruben_hood: right, so I asked why are you mounting the partition in ubuntu at all? [01:49] RoDiMuS-X: no but if you created swap space in a partition and that partition was set to overwrite space where an old partition was the swap is overwriting data because the filesystem was not resized to be within the bounds of the new partition size then that can do it [01:50] hey === wemaflo is now known as wema|off [01:50] RoDiMuS-X: thats why it's important to resize the filesystem before the partition. You can also test it by doing a read only mount before you crate a new partition and populate it [01:50] q: installing a wacom CTL-460 on Ubuntu 10.10 (xorg 1.9), do i build and install both input-wacom and xf86-input-wacom? [01:50] jetole: Test cameback got a bad drive [01:50] jrib the partition is mounted each time a domain user logins with ubuntu. [01:50] is there a way to map keys on my laptop to keys that don't exist on my laptop's keyboard? [01:51] like pgup and pgdown for isntance [01:51] i have no sound, intel AC97, can anyone help? [01:51] RoDiMuS-X: over a decade ago I learned how not to resize a partition table and lost data. resizing is a simple process after you have done it a couple times you know it inside out but none the less, you need to be very delicate still and thurough about testing it [01:51] RoDiMuS-X: ha. Well yeah, that can happen [01:51] ruben_hood: so does it have to be? Seems like you don't want it to be, am I right? [01:51] jrib i don't know how a user from my domain can login with ubuntu without , at least, viewing some especific folders [01:51] Does anyone know how to create an OPML file? Rhythmbox needs these filesto import if I want to create a favorite radio stations list [01:52] RoDiMuS-X: meet my friends RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5 and RAID 6 [01:52] jetole: I knew I didn't screw up [01:52] RoDiMuS-X: well like I said, that can happen [01:52] ruben_hood: I don't really understand your setup. But you could certainly give them only read access and not write access. Is that a possibility? [01:52] jetole: Do you know how to recover data on a bad drive or is that a hopeless mission? [01:52] hard drives are the quickest thing to fail on a computer since they have moving parts. Even SSD which doesn't, it still does have a limited life on write capability [01:54] so jetole if my fdisk info's http://pastebin.com/1vXFj78A ( http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4cjy9v0f2esyhjw&thumb=6 image ) and I want to resize sda2 the extended , I would just first use ntfs to resize the filesystem down to what? [01:54] RoDiMuS-X: depends. I don't do it physically and if someone does, it usually costs a fortune but you can try booting from rescue media, in my case I use the ubuntu live cd and run ddrescue (the gnu version which is in the package gddrescue) and copy it to a new drive [01:54] RoDiMuS-X: ddrescue is like dd but designed to recover as much as possible from failed drives [01:54] jrib it could be a possibility if i could make windows 2003 server difference ubuntu from windows [01:55] RoDiMuS-X: http://www.atlas-tuesday.com/using-gddrescue-to-save-your-data-part-1 [01:55] jetole: ahh thats what I am going to try [01:55] jrib i think i have the perfect explanaition [01:55] jetole: Thanks much [01:55] jetole, I have an SSD, what can I do to prolong it's life [01:55] do you know? [01:55] RoDiMuS-X: you're welcome. I'm going for a smoke so be back in 10 minutes [01:55] ha me too [01:55] Isn't there a program that allows you to save your logs to ram? [01:56] leachim6: nope. I don't own one yet but try http://www.google.com/linux?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=prolong+a+ssd+life [01:56] leachim6: you can't save anything to ram [01:56] be back in 10 mins [01:56] jetole, I beg to differ. [01:56] jrib: imagine a folder "x". maybe you want to share that folder to a especific user when it is login on a windows machine, but not when it is logged with ubuntu. really, this is more a windows 2003 server config concern... [01:56] nevermind,I found it [01:56] http://www.tremende.com/ramlog/ [01:58] anyone else know how to use ntfsresize to shrink donw a filesystem as much a possible before shrinking a partition in gparted and then enlarging the filesystem as much as you can? [01:58] how do you force linux to try a driver? [01:59] jrib i would try to deny access to a especific machine, but that machine (the ubuntu one) does not appear on the list...that is my problem. thanks for the help anyway, great community [01:59] ruben_hood: no problem. I don't really know of a solution for you [02:00] how would I change the permissions on my tap device. I have seen examples with a 'sudo chmod 0666 /dev/tap' I get an error saying no such device [02:01] my DVB-S usb device is not recognised (I think) and I want to force opera 1 [02:03] how can I bind mod4+down to pagedown? [02:03] my laptop doesn't have pagedown keys [02:04] no sound on ubuntu 10.04, ac97, can anyone help? [02:05] leachim6: how can you bind something to a key that doesn't exist? [02:06] how do I go about installing the linux-image-2.6.31-10-rt kernel [02:07] which is an older version [02:10] Gnea, that's why I'm here. [02:10] leachim6: I'm glad you bed to differ but you cannot save anything to RAM and the intro for the page you posted that just read pretty much confirms that it saves it to do disk. RAM is volatile stoage meaning once you lose power then you lose everything in RAM so ramlog is using RAM as a cache/buffer only and I don't know why it does but it's good to know it has that option though I would like to know why you want to since, if your system crashes then the ... [02:10] ... logs are gone which will also include anything saved from dmesg which may help explain the crash after you reboot [02:10] leachim6: well if you don't have the key, you can't bind to it, simple as that. or is it a fn? [02:11] s/bed/beg [02:11] ubuntu 10.04 no sound, AC97, can anyone help? [02:11] Gnea, is a google Cr-48 [02:11] and there's no pagedown, and I'd like one.

[02:11] dustin : put it back?: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [02:12] leachim6: oh, their new netbook that they're letting people check out? [02:12] dustin: as per the bottom panel, create a new panel and add the widget task manager [02:13] ubottu: how did you type the mini double << [02:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:13] nevermind [02:13] ubottu: good girl [02:13] did anyone respond to my question? my internet didn't let me see... [02:14] jetole: its a spanish quote. i use right-alt + [ to type « using the "us international (altgr dead keys)" layou [02:14] *layout [02:14] how do you force linux to try a driver on a USB device? [02:14] jetole: those are not meant to be used. ignore those when typing the command in terminal [02:14] yes , i did that , but the programs dont show up when i went to click up [02:14] how do I add linux-image-2.6.31-10-rt to the grub menu? [02:14] hi guys, i would like some help with configuring my "Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000" with ubuntu 10.10 x86_64. [02:15] bastidrazor: I know that very well. I think it's useful when typing to a person [02:16] i have two issues: 1. middle button copy/paste does not work in terminal. 2. the scroll button and the side buttons don't work. [02:16] i know this is technically not the place for this, but I couldn't find a channel for nano the editor.. is there a time date stamp for nano? [02:16] my xorg.conf settings are the default: Section "InputDevice" [02:16] # generated from default [02:16] Identifier "Mouse0" [02:16] Driver "mouse" [02:16] Option "Protocol" "auto" [02:16] Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" [02:16] kannan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:17] but xorg.conf doesn't exist by default :\ [02:17] kannan_: FloodBot2 is right. Paste it to another site like pastebin.com and then paste the link in here === Thomas___ is now known as Ripp__ [02:17] jetole, was that "i told you so" really worth it? [02:17] rww: it doesn't but some of us do need it for example I use nvidia cards and nouveau isn't mature yet IMHO [02:18] jetole: I know. I was commenting on the concept of default xorg.conf settings :\ [02:18] jetole: sorry about that. i don't use irc that often and there were only 5 or 6 lines. [02:18] rww: I see === Pinako is now known as Katrin16Iceland [02:19] rww: i don't understand. what do you mean xorg.conf does not exist? i have a /etc/x11/xorg.conf file. [02:19] leachim6: it wasn't an I told you so. You were wrong that you can save anything to RAM and I gave you a good reason why you shouldn't use it as a cache / buffer for your logs plus I asked you why you would want to. Please don't be so defensive === Katrin16Iceland is now known as Pinako [02:19] kannan_: understood [02:19] kannan_: by default, Ubuntu doesn't generate an xorg.conf file. If you have one, and you don't have a reason (as jetole mentioned) for having one, you might try moving it (say, to xorg.conf.old) and seeing if that helps. [02:19] kannan_: since, well at least 10.04 and maybe even 9.10, ubuntu doesn't create one when you log install it [02:19] jetole, it's not saved, it's just stored in a ramdisk until the computer is turned off, it limits disk writes to make an SSD last longr [02:19] *longer === Prodego is now known as administrivia [02:20] I know how ram works [02:20] leachim6: I see [02:20] leachim6: well that doesn't seem like a bad idea [02:20] XD [02:20] if you configure openvpn with nm-applet where is the config file stored? [02:20] rww: thanks. i think i got the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file because i have a nvidia card and use the nvidia binary driver. [02:20] leachim6: I know also if you use laptop-mode, it caches disk writes longer so it performs longer writes less often instead of shorter writes more often [02:21] kannan_: ah [02:21] i accentently removed bottem panel and the programs when minamized doesnt show up , but the system task manger says its running. then time to time , it frezzes when i shutdown / restart. [02:21] kannan_: I forgot your original question but try taking a look at the progeam nvidia-settings [02:21] kannan_: well, you may want to look into changing the InputDevice section. Most mice just use evdev now, not the mouse driver, and that might be throwing things off. [02:21] jetole: but that does only monitor settings and i am good. I want to change my mouse settings. [02:22] I don't know much about the subject, though, because both of my computers work fine out of the box (ati and intel). [02:22] kannan_: ah yeah right. Now I remember [02:22] kannan_: I mean I remember your question. Don't remember the mouse specifics but try reading: man xorg.conf [02:22] rww: thanks. i did some google research and did come across evdev driver but all the references were from 2008 or older. [02:23] rww: do you have any experience with dual screens on ati? I did years ago and it was !@#$ but I haven't tried in a while and am hoping it has since improved [02:23] jetole i have ati and dual screens [02:23] jetole: nope, sorry. i keep meaning to try it (my card has two outputs), but don't have anything handy to test [02:24] jetole: is there some howtos about the mouse settings? [02:24] jetole: i use a dual screen with ati at work but it is on CentOS with the default ATI catalyst driver. [02:25] google it , i heard it of being done, jetole [02:25] im needing to add another kernel to grub, any ideas how I do this? [02:26] i have orgasm to/from ubuntu. i hate it. take/get back my sperms. [02:26] doing what now ? i have never heard of this === ogra is now known as Guest96093 [02:26] jeaton, run update-grub, which happens automatically when you install a kernel package [02:27] xyz say what? [02:27] jeaton: Yes, what psusi said. [02:27] Wiesshund: they're gone [02:27] rww thats probably a good thing [02:27] indeed [02:27] how do I go about accessing the grub menu now, or will it now show them? [02:28] jeaton as opposed to grub1? [02:28] Wiesshund: How does that work out for you @ ATI w/ dual screens? [02:28] one sec, let me try rebooting now [02:28] brb [02:28] jeaton, press shift while booting [02:28] jeaton, "hold" shift might be an easier direction [02:29] jetole, basicly plug in other monitor, boot up, set it how you like in catalyst control panel [02:29] jeaton: At or on boot press Ctrl, there are many ways, sometimes is Shift, depends on the system and such. === nozendo_ is now known as jimsoul [02:29] jetole it pretty much works as expected now [02:29] <^Mike\b> How can I find out what package provides /usr/bin/jar? === jimsoul is now known as nozendo === Guest93486 is now known as RaNdY === RaNdY is now known as Guest39298 [02:32] orm [02:32] ^Mike\b: Java?

[02:34] HowardTheDuck: as long as the system can keep up, sure [02:35] Gnea, well, im in the market for a laptop and i can either get amd with ati graphics, or intel core i-X with intel graphics [02:35] is it possible to use xmodmap to map a function to a key that's not on your keyboard? [02:35] i'd like to know whats better and more supported in Ubuntu [02:36] HowardTheDuck: Compiz should work on just about any hardware. [02:36] HowardTheDuck: historically and recently, intel wins in that department, but nvidia reigns king [02:36] Gnea, yeah see, I only use Nvidia [02:36] I'm dissapointed to see no Nvidia offerings in the laptop market [02:36] HowardTheDuck: perhaps you haven't looked at all laptops then [02:37] HowardTheDuck, there are portables with Nvidia - they usually cost about twice as much ;) [02:37] or better [02:37] ION2 is supposed to be for laptops isn't it? (Though I don't know if it's supported) [02:37] what's xmodmap's name for the Page Down fucntion? [02:37] ZykoticK9, well, I dont have a high price range [02:37] <^Mike\b> gnewb: sure, but there are many java packages... [02:37] HowardTheDuck: You should realize, by the way, that Intel IGP's are just that: integrated. There's a huge difference between an Intel IGP and an AMD/Nvidia discrete card. [02:38] HowardTheDuck, personally I'd go with Intel over ATI any day - but don't expect amazing graphics performance is all [02:38] question how will this internet ID that obama is proposing affect ubuntu [02:38] nexes, well these are laptops, none of them are a discreet card. the ATI ones even use sys ram [02:38] !ot | jonthue [02:38] jonthue: #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! [02:38] ZykoticK9, Nah, I run a 9500 GT on my desktop so I don't think I have high expectations [02:38] it plays fallout 3 in 1366x768 just fine, thats all i care about [02:38] HowardTheDuck: not sure where you're getting your infos from... http://3btech.net/hppag615nowi2.html [02:39] HowardTheDuck: Ah, interesting. I only tend to go Intel in my notebooks, so perhaps that's why I haven't seen it. [02:39] HowardTheDuck: unless you're looking for something newer [02:39] HowardTheDuck: Personally I don't think laptops are for gaming.. but when choosing a laptop, you should avoid switchable graphics for now. [02:39] my internet keeps getting disconnected from my router to my adapter [02:39] Gnea, yeah I am looking for core-i3 or amd equivalent [02:39] HowardTheDuck: And for what it's worth, Intel's mobile stuff is excellent in Ubuntu. If you haven't used it before, check out their powertop tool. [02:40] HowardTheDuck: but I have a netbook with intel graphics on it, but it is a netbook and not built for power, but even still it does what I need it to do - could likely do better [02:40] how do i make my internet stable there? [02:40] i don't know [02:40] nexes, sweet thanks [02:40] i've heard bad things about amd's mobile offerings lately [02:40] jPuff: Has your connection ever been stable with anything else? [02:40] hey guys, i've been trying all day to get this laptop to work, with no luck :( it won't boot, hangs after /scripts/init-bottom, any help? [02:41] really? what about it? [02:41] yeah, windows 7 [02:41] HowardTheDuck: like this? http://www.jr.com/msi-microstar/pe/MSR_FX400063US/ [02:41] ubuntu is good [02:41] whats amd mobile thing [02:41] In general, Intel seems to have excellent power management, and specifically good power management in Linux. [02:41] i got this adapter specifically for linux\ [02:41] jPuff: Were you the one with the belkin adapter by chance? [02:41] So I'm used to using mIRC and having chat channels listed. How do I find chat channels here? [02:41] nexes, so will the 3d Compiz effects like scale, cube, etc. work with the current intel graphics laptop cards?

[02:43] yeah i installed wicd [02:43] HowardTheDuck: honestly, I didn't even know that one existed until now, that looks like a sweet portable system [02:43] HowardTheDuck: I have an ASUS UL30A with an Intel GMA 4500MHD and it performs great.

[02:44] HowardTheDuck: And fyi, Intel finally added VA-API support in Ubuntu 10.10, so there's GPU accelerated video. [02:44] wwhats the battery life on the note book [02:44] 도데체...한국사람은 왜 접속을 안하는건가요!!! [02:44] cool!! [02:44] HowardTheDuck: aah [02:44] nexes, ah thanks for the heads up, I run 10.04 on my machines [02:45] HowardTheDuck: Well, they added it in their new drivers, which are included in 10.10.

[02:48] jetole: are you back [02:48] HowardTheDuck: without windows? [02:48] HowardTheDuck: nope, that's the cheapest [02:48] rambam, no it comes with windows soemthing or other that is getting formatted first thing [02:49] oh yep [02:49] For example, to have XChat have a quick launch icon on panel? [02:49] the pentium 2 isn't very speedy though, i'd want i3 hehe [02:49] manmountain: Yeah, you can actually drag them from the Applications menu onto the desktop (they won't disappear from the app menu like in Windows) [02:49] HowardTheDuck: buy from some other place then, why pay for windows? [02:49] it's cold... [02:49] how do you fix a non scrolling mouse wheel (it was working prior to the last round of updates)? [02:49] cj23: sorta [02:49] busy with other stuff [02:49] rambam, recommendations? [02:49] oh my...god! [02:49] manmountain: you can just click-and-drag it from the menu to the top panel [02:49] lol - so simple! Cheers :) [02:50] HowardTheDuck: no, im in sweden, so.. unless you're here.. but im sure others know, if not, just google [02:50] manmountain: :) [02:50] HowardTheDuck: A compatability wiki for the posted linked you had... http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+g560 [02:50] HowardTheDuck 399 ofr a P2 laptop? [02:50] Frijolie, if you use an xorg.conf file verify you have the following under InputDevice/for Mouse: Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" [02:50] the mouse works on another computer so I know it's not the mouse. is there a configuration setting that changed or somewhere I can start looking? [02:50] oh ok you think you'll be free some time in the next couple of days [02:50] Wiesshund, yes [02:50] cj23: what do you need? [02:50] um... [02:50] um.. [02:50] are you sure [02:50] um.. [02:51] HowardTheDuck that seems kind of steep for a used or old stock laptop. you said pentium 2 right? [02:51] ZykoticK9, how do I know if I use xorg.conf? I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 [02:51] jetole: [02:51] Is there any way I can stop ubuntu from locking the computer after a certain amount of time. [02:51] i didnt mean p2 i meant dual core sorry [02:51] manmountain, yes , just find it in the menu , and click and hold drap to desired spot [02:51] Brad__: Screensaver? [02:51] lee__: This is the support channel, do you have any support related questions? [02:51] 2.00 ghz [02:51] Brad__ you can change that in the screen saver setting [02:51] Frijolie, do you have a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf? If you do, then you are using it - if it's not there, you aren't. [02:52] HowardTheDuck oh ok, ignore me then :) sorry [02:52] its a newegg 48 hour sale, not as powerful as I want, but at that price still very tempting! [02:52] Wiesshund, no I misspoke I"m sorry :) [02:52] ZykoticK9, opened a blank file so I guess I'm not using it. === michael is now known as Guest38472 [02:53] Frijolie, sorry i have no idea where the mouse settings are stored if it's using the automatic settings - best of luck. [02:53] ZykoticK9, hmm...well thanks for trying [02:53] HowardTheDuck whats your intentions for it? If got one of those cheap 200 dollar asus eeepc's and for what i use it for, youd never no that it was a weak little crap box [02:53] If = Iv'e [02:54] Wiesshund, I want to be able to do video encoding [02:54] * Wiesshund is having a bad typing day and a total failure at english [02:54] Mencoder's one of my favorite apps [02:54] HowardTheDuck Ah, ok, yea you dont want an eeepc then hehe [02:55] I build my gf a athlon x4 quad core but I've been hogging it heh [02:55] so I decided to get my own laptop [02:55] an athlon [02:55] !ot [02:55] #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! [02:55] HowardTheDuck: check this maybe: http://www.linucity.com/ [02:55] anyone know how to fix a non-scrolling mouse wheel? Ubuntu 10.10 non xorg.conf? [02:55] but we both like ubuntu so i want to make sure i get the best laptop for the OS [02:55] im usually chatting in -offtopic [02:56] !ot [02:56] #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! [02:56] Where can I chat about music? [02:56] Oh wait, I'll go to ubuntu off topic [02:56] GoodMourning i dont think ubuntu-offtopic is heavily music related [02:56] A general security question: I want to POST to a server, but I want to authenticate the person doing the POST. I'm thinking of encrypting the content with the user's private key, and then the sever will decrypt it using the user's public key. What's the best way of doing this? GPG? [02:57] eshira, and what does this have to do with Ubuntu? [02:57] jestole I was just wondering if I have a partition like http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4cjy9v0f2esyhjw&thumb=6 and my fdisk -i results were http://pastebin.com/qRLzS6da if I want to shrink sda2 and then expand sda1 should I just use ntfsresize -s and tell how big in megabytes or do it by starting blocks [02:57] I have a laptop now that has integrated Intel video, pretty old, and compiz doesn't work on it [02:57] oh my.. [02:57] Hi guys, i still can't get this new 10.10 install to boot, any help? :( i've tried rw /bin/bash, rw /init/sbin, noapic, vga=791, irqpoll, noacpi, and nolapic, to no avail :( [02:57] I just want to make sure I don't get a new core-i3 and can't even use compiz on it [02:57] im victim!.. [02:57] k0d3g3ar_: it doesn't. I just have no idea what IRC channel to go to. [02:58] not here [02:58] lee__: what? [02:58] lee__: Do you have any Ubuntu support related questions? [02:58] HowardTheDuck: new intels handle compiz just fine [02:58] thanks! now to see if they will handle fallout 3 lol [02:58] eshira: ##web perhaps, or ##programming, #freenode might have a better suggestion. [02:58] HowardTheDuck: i *only* use intel, and my computers from 2002, 2006, 2008, and 2010 can all do compiz [02:58] Pici: thanks, i'll try them. [02:58] Love the wobbly windows :) [02:59] maco: mine (915) despite complains about it, handles compiz fine... i just hate it, so i use "NONE"... :) [02:59] maco, thanks man. I may get Intel HM55 [02:59] manmountain: it gets old real fast [02:59] I'm temped to see how well Ubuntu runs on my real hardware. [03:00] Howard, I don't know where you're getting a new laptop, but the last two times I've been in Staples, they let me buy the laptop and try ubuntu on it, then would have let me return it if I wasn't satisfied. I tried both right in the store, but they were both acers with amd chips... [03:00] oops jetole I spelled your name wrong when asking you sorry [03:00] HowardTheDuck for what its forth, the little atom powered eeepc with cheap video even runs compiz with a reasonable amount of effects [03:00] !tab | cj233 [03:00] cj233: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:00] !tab | cj23 [03:00] cj23: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:00] cj23: what? [03:00] FAIL! [03:00] cj23: oh I see [03:01] i wanna set up a dual boot where vista can access ubuntu's files and ubuntu vista's [03:01] KM0201: i think i have 845, 945, 965, and whatevers on an atom n450 [03:01] cj23: one sec [03:01] Wiesshund, really? so you can do the cube and all that on an eeepc? [03:01] jPuff vista is going to have a hard time reading ext4 fs [03:01] I suppose ubuntu is simply not up to supporting my hardware? sad. :-( [03:01] bencahill: what gives you that idea? [03:02] ok jetole, i guess it's in mega giga or kilo bytes [03:02] bencahill: blame the manufacturers of the hardware [03:02] cj23: you can't really shrink sda2 and expand sda one because sda2 needs to have the same start and as I can see from your fdisk post, sda2 starts where sda1 ends [03:02] bencahill you migh try a previous version of ubuntu, or if your hardware is kind of old, you might try puppy which is built from ubuntu [03:02] KM0201, ActionParsnip: I know, I'm just desparate, because I haven't got this thing to work yet :( [03:02] bencahill: if it's a new install, why not just reinstal, and see if its something you did on the install? [03:02] so maybe i could have th' ubuntu move th' files to th' vista partition? ^^ [03:02] bencahill: or try Lubuntu [03:02] cj23: so in your case, you can't really grow sda1 using the traditional / tested by me method. [03:02] KM0201: it never booted once, installed fine... [03:02] ActionParsnip: is this an old laptop? [03:03] bencahill: just cuz it apparently installed fine, doesn't mean something didn't go fubar... [03:03] HowardTheDuck I have the rotating cube, and one of the alt tab mods running, alot of the other eye candy annoys me [03:03] KM0201: no idea, I just love Lubuntu [03:03] cj23: what is on /dev/sda2? [03:03] ActionParsnip: that's the last thing i put on it, it doesn't boot either, hangs at /scripts/init-bottom, same as ubuntu [03:03] how do i delete shortcuts on my apps menu? [03:03] KM0201: runs on pretty much anything [03:03] ActionParsnip: lol.. oh ok.. i got the impression it ws a really new aptop. [03:03] data and linux swap [03:03] ActionParsnip: i agree, i like it.. i'm not in love w/ it like you are, but i do like ti [03:03] KM0201: yes, but not too...athlon 3200+ 512mb ram [03:03] bencahill: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [03:03] jPuff: right click > Edit menu [03:03] Is it possible to install a UPnP server on Ubuntu? [03:03] ibook g4 powerpc, anything in fullscreen leads to weird changing colors screen [03:03] ActionParsnip: yes, has nothing to do with that :) [03:04] KM0201: also loving xpud :D [03:04] I could just wipe out the entire data and linux swap after [03:04] backing up [03:04] Wiesshund, yeah cool. im probably now going to do the cube, but plug in a monitor and have a dual screen setup if possible. i'm pretty sure all new laptops do that though? [03:04] cna you have dual monitor in ubuntu from a laptop? [03:04] bencahill: try some boot options then is all I can suggest [03:04] jPuff yes ubuntu can read/write the ntfs partitions fine providing they arent encrypted or compressed. and to delete shortcuts right click menu and pick edit [03:04] ActionParsnip: the machine never ran the ubuntu livecd, although the lubuntu livecd did work (i used the alt when installing ubuntu) [03:04] cj23: what is you remove the partition. You can remove the swap and backup the data. Completely remove sda2, grow sda1 then re create a new sd2 from scratch using the free space [03:04] well dual screen, laptop + one monitor [03:04] HowardTheDuck: as long as the lapto GPU supports dual head under Linux(nvidia is real easy) [03:04] bencahill: Ubuntu won't run well with 512MB of RAM. You should really consider something lighter, at minimum Xubuntu. [03:04] IdleOne thank you :D [03:04] ActionParsnip: i've tried rw /bin/bash, rw /init/sbin, noapic, vga=791, irqpoll, noacpi, and nolapic, to no avail :( [03:04] Wiesshund thank you :D [03:05] nexes: ubuntu will run fine w/ 512mb of ram, it just sucks using the live cd... [03:05] cj23: you can also put swap into a flat file which is not a bad idea despite the urban legend surrounding it which is based on old kernels where partition swap was better some 10 years ago [03:05] HowardTheDuck dual monitors on laptop depends alot on the laptops video hardware [03:05] I ran it on 128 [03:05] nexes: i know, but it should boot, and i have lubuntu on it now, still doesn't boot [03:05] w/ openbox mind you [03:05] Intel HM55? [03:05] KM0201: right :) [03:05] bencahill: hmm, got latest BIOS? [03:05] KM0201: My previous desktop really struggled with 1GB plus Firefox and Flash. [03:05] cj23: for example you create a swap file called /swap.img that is whatever size you like and then list that as your swap space in /etc/fstab [03:05] jetole: the problem is people said my os stuff where dlls and that stuff goes needs to be no mroe than 9 or 10 gigs and i did that.. I have no program files on there and hardly anything but yet I have only a gig to spare and microsoft visual C++ wants to donwload its crap on C: ( this sda1 where the os is at and the dlls as mentioned ) [03:05] bencahill: tested RAM health? [03:05] bencahill: i would just try a clean nstall of 10.10, see if it still fails w/ the same prob. [03:05] KM0201: I love Ubuntu, but it's a wee bit bloated. [03:05] that's why I want to enlarge it basically [03:05] ActionParsnip: haven't checked...grub2 works fine, as does the start of the boot process [03:05] im on lucid but there's a package for maverick i'd like to use how can i grab that package? [03:06] nexes: then you had some other issue... i admit ubuntu is bloated, but it will run just fine w/ 512mb of ram.. but the live CD will suck... [03:06] KM0201: these are all clean installs, they have never booted once :) [03:06] bencahill: so i take it you have already tried to reinstall [03:06] cj23: you got some pretty bad advice there [03:06] bencahill: worth a check, also disable as much of the BIOS functionality as you can to make the hardware limited nd basic [03:06] KM0201: or i.e. i never got it to boot [03:06] Speaking of bloat, I'm thinking of installing Ubuntu for real, whats a comfortable partition size? [03:06] KM0201: yes, several times [03:06] cj23: what is on sda2 besides swap? === administrator is now known as Guest89207 [03:06] bencahill: ok, so that likely rules that out.... how exactly are you trying to set up your system [03:07] ActionParsnip: it doesn't have anything like that, only boot order, hdd test, and showing what you've got :) [03:07] jetole: you can't store data in swap partitions [03:07] my data [03:07] ActionParsnip: what? [03:07] 好玩吗? [03:07] How do I find good channels? [03:07] bencahill: well it has to be something so simply dismissing suggestions like that is ridficulous [03:07] 怎么都说英语? [03:07] KM0201: it's a 32gb ssd ide (:P) laptop, and i just want to use it for web browsing, video viewing... [03:07] microsofts freaking part fo the problem for forcing there massive visual C++ on C: [03:07] cj23, where is your ubuntu? [03:07] ActionParsnip: ridficulous? :D [03:07] *stinking [03:07] bencahill: ok, how did you partition the ssd for ubuntu? [03:07] jetole: there can be no user data or OS data stored in a partiton used as swap [03:07] ActionParsnip: what did i dismiss? [03:07] 你们都是哪国人? [03:07] lol [03:07] ActionParsnip: you can store whatever you like in any kind of partition you like. a partition type is just a byte long string which the OS can choose to treat however you like [03:08] KM0201: ubuntu/lubuntu default [03:08] hmm [03:08] why would MS do that [03:08] !cn | Guest89207 [03:08] Guest89207: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道:打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [03:08] bencahill: you know what I mean. I'm on my 4 day so I'm flagging a bit [03:08] cj23 you could install visual C on another drive [03:08] zyv sda 3 and 4 [03:08] Well there you have it. https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/msg44640.html LOL no dual screen [03:08] ActionParsnip: don't know where you read that but you are wrong and cj23 said there is data and swap so I want to be sure that he doesn't accidently delete something important [03:08] bencahill: strange, so you'ev tried Ubuntu and Lubuntu, both w/o success? [03:08] ActionParsnip: i was saying that the bios doesn't have anything for turning off features, it's quite old :) [03:08] do you speak korean? [03:09] KM0201: yes, that is correct [03:09] ActionParsnip: for all you know this is a partition containing a swap flat file and a directory of other files [03:09] Only running Ubuntu in virtualbox just now. I have 7 1tb hard drives, what's the simplest method to install Ubuntu without trashing my Windows 7 install? [03:09] bencahill: ok, there's definitely some sort of hardware issue there then [03:09] m0 [03:09] !ko | lee__ [03:09] lee__: 도움이 필요하시면 다음 채널에 조인하십시오. /join #ubuntu-ko [03:09] KM0201: hw, or driver/hal? [03:09] cj23: what specifically do you have on sda2? [03:09] m0ngr31, did you get it figured out yet? [03:09] bencahill: hardware [03:09] KM0201: o_o [03:09] 이미 조인했슴다... 사람들이 말을 안겁니다.. [03:09] DEAD_BEEF: actually, i just got it! [03:09] manmountain are all 7 drives used by stuff? [03:09] wel, driver/hal... i'm assuming it's something ubuntu isn't picking up [03:09] bencahill: sure it does, you can disable USB and onboard audio etc. I have a P200 backup server where you can turn hardware off and on [03:10] a little bit of college stuff and just nothing besides cough mame emulators [03:10] KM0201: worked fine on windows (before the hdd died) :-/ [03:10] bencahill: is windows booting ok? [03:10] bencahill: its probably older than you [03:10] m0ngr31, nice, did you use python re? [03:10] lee__: This channel is English only. [03:10] cj23: please say my name before each line otherwise I may miss your comment. Thats common IRC ettiquete [03:10] Wiesshund: msC++ 2008 express demands it be on C: [03:10] um... [03:10] ok! [03:10] no, i ended up doing this: echo $search1 | awk '{ print $1 }' [03:10] bencahill: i'm jus surprisd you have a machine that old, thats booting SSD. [03:10] bencahill this is the old athlon 3200+ machine? [03:10] cj23: Can you back up the data you have on sda2 and delete the partition? [03:10] cj23 thats odd mine is installed to drive E [03:11] bencahill: join #lubuntu please, I may have a solution. [03:11] DEAD_BEEF: nice nick ;) [03:11] KM0201: i got an ssd for the purpose of running linux to have a quiet(er) and more shock-resistant system [03:11] Unfortunately yes. I'm thinking of just repartitioning one of my drives. If I did that and allocated the space, would the Ubuntu installer install a bootloader that wont break my windows 7 install? [03:11] gnewb: in there already :) [03:11] bencahill: hmm, [03:11] cj23: run: fdisk -l [03:11] ActionParsnip, :0 [03:11] Wiesshund: yes [03:11] cj23: and paste the whole thing to pastebin [03:11] Wiesshund: how [03:11] as in 0xdeadbeef [03:11] jetole: yeah I could back it up [03:11] KM0201: and this is a slow(er) ssd, windows wouldn't run well on it [03:11] hey guys, i keep losing video when trying to install ubuntu, how can I work around that? [03:11] jetole: ok one sec please [03:11] bencahill: hmm. [03:12] im on lucid but there's a package for maverick i'd like to use how can i grab that package? [03:12] cj23 i just picked the location from the custom install [03:12] Just worried that I go through a real install and have some hardware problems / compatibility issues. [03:13] As I'm a super newbie [03:13] manmountain can you see query window/tab ? [03:13] a partition or a drive [03:13] cj23: back up all data on sda2. delete the partition sda2, expand sda1 to be whatever size you like, and then exapnd ntfs on sda1 to fit the size of the partition (ntfsresize has an option to expand to maximum size which fits the partition size) [03:13] Wiesshund: [03:13] m0ngr31, This is what I was playing around with: http://pastebin.com/0DJAFttP [03:13] m0ngr31, your solution was much simpler [03:13] cj23: expand the partition to be whatever size you like that is not so big you overwrite sda3 I mean [03:13] cj23 E is a drive for me (separate physical) but i doubt that matters [03:14] I'm having some trouble seeing past the initrd load when installing via a serial console - does anyone here have experience w/ that or know a better forum to ask in? [03:14] manmountain: Your best bet is to plunk around in a Live CD environment see how your hardware reacts, Ubuntu's pretty good about OEM interop. If your crutched to Windows 7 that just image it then do a native install. The native install doesn't work, re-image your disk to Windows 7, no harm, no foul. [03:14] I used a external could that matter [03:14] oops Wiesshund [03:14] svdasein: #ubuntu-server [03:14] jetole: thanks [03:15] cj23 i would not think so [03:15] jetole do you need the fdisk post still [03:15] cj23: I'm gonna be afk for hours so good luck on this and it seems Wiesshund can help [03:15] how to i view the "Standard.dic" that open office uses? [03:15] ActionParsnip: not this, the only things you can change are: time/date, a few passwords, boot order and floppy/cd enable/disable, f10 delay, parallel port mode, and hdd self-test (that is from looking at every single page and option right now) :) [03:15] cj23: ... nope [03:15] cj23: good luck [03:15] thank you so much [03:15] manmountain can you see your query window? [03:15] *jetole [03:16] bencahill: wow thats pretty poor [03:16] ActionParsnip: you should see the laptop i made into a picture frame, it had nothing but boot order :D [03:16] when trying to install ubuntu, after it starts loading the install I lose video, anyone know how to work around this? [03:17] mobius55: Are you using Natty to install? === roaming is now known as INFURNO_ [03:17] Wiesshund: it splits the download on the internet download for the 8 parts you download and install into two : 245 or something mbs for my external and 2 gigs for C: I put in the ext hdd location and it still dows it. [03:17] rusivi: Natty? [03:17] im trying to installl of a flash drive [03:17] mobius55: What version of Ubuntu are you trying to install? [03:17] mobius55, natty is the upcoming 11.04 release name [03:18] 10.10 [03:18] thx Zyko [03:18] mobius55: 32 or 64-bit? [03:18] 64 [03:18] :D [03:18] KM0201, ActionParsnip: okay, I will run a memtest86+ overnight (about to go to bed), and if that passes, will try out fedora and see how it goes [03:18] running an AMD card [03:18] mobius55: Part & parcel w/ 64-bit. [03:18] bencahill: good luck w/ it [03:18] I mean ATI [03:19] AMD-ATI setup [03:19] KM0201: ;) cya [03:19] DEAD_BEEF: that looks pretty good! [03:19] can you elaborate rusivi? [03:19] heya [03:19] DEAD_BEEF: my way is a little simpler though. thanks for the help! [03:20] m0ngr31, pretty sure it even works. I just saved what you had pasted to a file and search it using the script. [03:20] m0ngr31, you might be able to patch it into your script [03:20] hello [03:20] DEAD_BEEF: i think i will thanks! [03:20] how do i check in a bash script if [ `netstat -l | grep *:3000` ] is empty or not :/ [03:20] m0ngr31, np [03:20] is dead beef good?

Does anyone know? [03:21] I was told once that there was a command for computers with display issues [03:21] mobius55: Basically, 64-bit in general across all distro's is not as heavily developed for & tested against in comparison to 32-bit, I could crash a Windows 64-bit fresh install installing only MSFT provided software. If you have some need for 64-bit than may want to redirect to Lucid 64-bit. [03:21] i'm trying to compile the linuxtv drivers, the wiki says to use git, how do i get an older media_build? [03:21] wiesshund if I am deleting a partition with program files do I need to uninstall them? [03:22] the current ones wont compile [03:22] Hello I am running ubuntu 4.10 and I need to install Samba so this super old computer can be used as a file sharing PC anyone know the terminal install command to install samba? [03:22] What is the terminal command for viewing free HDD space? [03:22] cj23 in windows? yes if theres installed programs there, or windows may have a hissy fit [03:22] nemov: lol, its gonna have to be upgraded, sorry [03:22] Ahrotahntee: df [03:22] Pici: thank you kindly [03:22] nemov: congrats though, i've not saw 4.10 mentioned in about 4-5yrs... you win [03:22] nemov: 4.10? [03:23] i wonder why someone would use an old version [03:23] ActionParsnip: pretty impressive huh? lol [03:23] Arg... lol I know [03:23] Pici: I for three days have been using 'free' - and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't making any sense, heheh [03:23] I think the linux kernel release candidate may have the drivers for my friends laptop's touchpad. (It's currently only recognized as a PS/2 mouse) but he already has Ubuntu installed. Is there anyway to merge just part of the rc kernel with his current kernel? [03:23] so you recommend switching to the 32 bit? [03:23] The computer specs 533 mhtz 128 sdram [03:23] KM0201: yeah, thats a blast from the past [03:23] mobius55: If you have 4GB of RAM or less absolutely. [03:23] nemov: use a lubuntu alt. install cd, and install lubuntu on it. [03:24] nemov: 4.10 has been dead for ages, its nearly 7 years old [03:24] hi guys i'm a bit of a Linux noob (but seasoned in windows and mac). i want to know is there a way to stop users opening multiple sessions? ie can i make it so that it takes them to their already open session. [03:24] hence the old version... maverick wouldn't even boot up [03:24] nemov: did you try lubuntu? [03:24] nemov: or install puppy [03:24] mobius55: Now I'm being highly presumtuous that your not in the mood to debug 64-bit libraries :) [03:24] yeah, puppy might work [03:24] rusivi, its a new higher end build [03:24] never heard of it. lubuntu [03:25] People, I'm trying to mount an iso with executable bit enabled, but I'm sure on how to do it with the mount command on the terminal. Does anyone know? [03:25] try lubuntu [03:25] I'm not sure [03:25] !lubuntu | nemov [03:25] nemov: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment.

I hear people use it to go around laptop screens [03:26] lol KM [03:27] and one more thing Wiesshund, beofre I enlarge the partition and then the filesystem, I should backup the ntfs table like you would with shrinking [03:27] HaPK_PerCar: What do you mean with "executible bit"? [03:28] jgruber, so that programs can be executed without the need of superuser permissions [03:28] cj23 any time you are going to change something important backing up is a good idea [03:28] hey guys could someone explain to me why it is that even though I have a wired connection, when I turn my box off and back on again that I have to powercycle my router for my connection to be seen? When I did ifconfig it told me that the nic was not config'd and when I tried to do ifdown/ifup it tells me that it failed to bring up the iface. However, powercycle the router and works like a... [03:28] ...charm. Any suggestions? [03:28] can someone help me with an upgrade issue? I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade, it installed the new kernel. When I did a reboot, I get GRUBs menu, but no matter which option I choose the server will not boot [03:28] jgruber, basicly to install stuff under Wine :) [03:28] I'm going to see about Lubuntu and hopefully I will beable to get this pc some use :) thanks Km Rus and Action Pars [03:29] hroberts: if you boot to live cd, you can chroot to the installed system and run: sudo update-grub [03:29] I see, I'm sorry I can't help [03:29] HaPK_PerCar, to install things with wine from a cd - just use "wine /media/CDROM/PROGRAM.EXE" to get around the Gnome executable issue. [03:30] So backing up the entire partition using dd if = dev/sda2/ of = output will backup the table as well [03:30] Could anybody help me setup wireless on my samsung qx410?

[03:33] georgedefunk: do you know which wireless device you have? [03:33] Quick question - I'm trying to copy a directory recursively with a hard drive that has bad sectors and I don't want it to stop and retry copying a dozen times at errors. I didn't see a cp switch that would allow this. Would dd be a better option? I've never used it. [03:33] Not sure, it's a broadcom though [03:33] I've never had to install wireless drivers on ubuntu before [03:33] toa: maybe rsync --ignore-errors ??? not sure [03:34] georgedefunk: in a terminal type "lspci" no quotes, hit enter, and find your wireless device to see which broadcom it is [03:34] georgedefunk: Broadcom is a different puppy though [03:34] hroberts: select the previous kernel at boot to get the server up and you can also try #ubuntu-server and see if there is any help there [03:34] hroberts: not really, broadcom is pretty easy nowdays... [03:34] KM0201: i haven't had any luck with them without using proprietary drivers [03:35] toa: dd will just quit at an I/O error like a bad sector [03:35] Idleone: thanks Ill try over there. The prvious kernel did not work [03:35] I how do I set special boot parameters to go around me losing video when I try to install? [03:35] hroberts: the b43 or the STA driver, usually work quite well.. i don't know if they're proprietary or not... andhe didn't indicate whether he cared of the driver was propreitary or not [03:35] jgruber, ah. Would rsync be a better choice? [03:35] toa: and it's just for one file (or other block of data) [03:36] I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, my ~$ prompt has disappeared from the terminal and the terminal window will not accept commands, there is only a blinking cursor. [03:36] hroberts: select which ever kernel did work :) [03:36] toa: the directory has bad sectors or just somewhere on the disk? === m4xx|work is now known as m4xx|home [03:36] ethicalhackingperu [03:36] nheald, you should ask in #ubuntu+1 if you're using 11.04 [03:37] thanks [03:37] Hey guys, I keep losing video after I select install ubuntu from the installation menu, any ideas? [03:37] georgedefunk: did you figure it out? === Thomas___ is now known as Ripp__ [03:37] nothing [03:37] jgruber, Just a few places on the disk. I've tried a normal copy and it'll just retry with an i/o error indefinitely. It's a fat32 partition so files are scattered everywhere. === uhu is now known as ________xD [03:38] im back [03:38] what are you doing [03:38] my fan runs a LOT more with linux than it did with windows. HOw ca I change that? [03:38] hellooooooooo [03:38] crap... ubuntu 4.10 doesn't have CD burner. [03:39] hey meganINthehouse [03:39] i didn't know 11 was out [03:39] toa: give rsync a try, rsync -rvvi --ignore-errors /dir /tmp/dir. just for sh*ts and giggles, see if it works [03:39] hey jon [03:39] meganINthehouse, how are you?

[03:39] oh [03:40] I'm stuck trying to install windows 7 on this pc [03:40] Has anyone seen like an aura type of thing around the outside of their monitor before? [03:40] toa: If it were me I'd be tempted to just try to copy around the bad file. Or, if you have a copy of the bad files (ones with bad sectors) you could copy the backup onto the bad files. The hard drive will assign the newly copied file to new sectors to work around the problem. (The drives firmware notices bad sectors and tries not to reuse them) [03:40] how do i go back to the linux mint server chat thingy [03:40] !mintsupport [03:40] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [03:41] jon_athon: You have to install it, the package name is sensors-applet [03:41] meganINthehouse, where are you stuck?

[03:42] nowimproved eh could you try to descibe that in a bit more detail? otherwise i am picturing the monitor messiah [03:42] meganINthehouse: type: /server irc.spotchat.org and then /join #linuxmint-help [03:43] Wiesshund, like orange green and red colors that encircled the monitor, when i turned it off and turned it back on, it went away instantly. [03:43] I wasn't on the computer though. I noticed it from the couch. [03:43] where do i type that in idleone [03:43] nowimproved as in like outside the monotors caseing? [03:43] in here [03:43] meganINthehouse, in the chat text box [03:43] Wiesshund, right. [03:43] IdleOne: no one on #ubuntu-server is awake. No one answers my question, any ideas on another group? [03:43] nowimproved CRT or LCD screen? [03:44] LCD [03:44] hroberts: explain the issue in here and if someone can help they will [03:44] you'd think it would have to do with magnets. [03:44] I asked in two other computer channels and they both told me to see a doctor or a shrink. [03:44] I cant get any spdif output on ubuntu. tried everything. and no one ever seems to help here. [03:44] nowimproved hmm possibly reflection etc from the flourescent tubes used to illuminate the lcd display, they do glow for a bit when turned off [03:44] But I know this phenomena exists. [03:44] m4xx: a little familiar with git [03:44] am i going to have to update to 10.10 to install xfce4.8 ? [03:45] It wasn't turned off though, it was on, I turned it off after it wouldn't go away and turned it back on. [03:45] nowimproved magnets dont affect an LCD like they do a CRT [03:45] Wiesshund, right that is what I was saying. [03:45] that makes sense though a reflection type of deal. [03:45] nowimproved your monitor have a clear bezel ? [03:45] Of course. I'm never going to able to recreate the effect. [03:46] Hello all [03:46] Wiesshund, no [03:46] m4xx: is it an easy git question? [03:46] It was 6:30 in the morning slightly light out and the shades were open. It's actually gray.

I then reboot the server and everything works fine. I then do an apt-get dist-upgrade and my kernal goes from 2.6.35.22-generic-pae to 2.6.35.24-generic-pae, it re-writes grub and now no matter which selection I choose either 22 or 24, or either recovery [03:47] Thanks [03:47] dust that makes sense [03:48] If you plug a mouse into a laptop will it disable the touchpad (hopefully)? [03:48] Just don't understand why when I shut it off and turned it back on it went away. [03:48] nowimproved, Wiesshund: This isn't an Ubuntu support question. Can you take it to PM or #ubuntu-offtopic, please? [03:48] mevkurray, jgruber, I'm trying the rsync string now, but it's still grinding over and over. It eventually skips the file, but not after grinding on it for 3 minutes. [03:48] em: no, both will work at same time [03:48] rww, sorry but I can't get an answer anywhere else. I'll stop. [03:48] em: in the majority of cases [03:48] the mv command works for directories right? [03:48] nowimproved at a guess, turning it off collapsed the weak electrical field and then it was gone === pumuky is now known as slax00 [03:48] misha680_, yes [03:49] mister_m, yes [03:49] mister_m: yes [03:49] toa, hooray [03:49] toa: well its a step in the right directio at least [03:50] can anyone help me with that dist-upgrade issue? [03:50] I have loaded the server 4 times and it happens everytime [03:50] Wiesshund, that's a great answer. I was seriously thinking about asking a doctor. [03:50] IF I got one more recommendation to see one. [03:51] mevkurray, yes. It'll take well over three days at this speed, though. [03:51] nowimproved, Wiesshund: It needs to stop, please. [03:51] h00k hmm? i didnt say anything [03:52] hroberts, you got cut off - are you saying you can't boot with either kernel? [03:52] toa, oh wow, that slow. better find a faster way then *googles*.

What channel number, and can you tune different channels by entering different channel numbers?

[04:05] /msg alis list *friendly* [04:05] kriscolt: but do you see a sound device get added when you add the card or device? [04:06] the card came preinstalled into the box... [04:06] Can I use a nvidia card together with an ati card? I dont have to drag windows from one card to another, but I would like to use them simultaneously [04:06] so there's no way to unplug it [04:07] no... i can disconnect the coax... [04:07] what's the command to see what's been plugged in and unplugged? [04:07] #ubuntu-vn [04:07] kriscolt: oh dear. If I were you I would look at /var/log/syslog for startup messages for the video device and then around that point for error messages about the audio device [04:08] i used to know a command... but it escapes me at the moment, that i used to us when i plugged in those little usb wifi dongles [04:08] ^^use [04:08] kriscolt, lsusb ? [04:09] hmm... that's it... that wouldn't work here though [04:09] lspci is the one i would probably need [04:09] kriscolt: I don't know of a special command. you could use lspci for a capture board, but that will just tell you the board is installed, and you know that because you get video [04:10] anyone know how to open a .p7s file [04:10] this is true... [04:10] i get sound from every other application... [04:10] maybe it's just 'tvtime' [04:10] ubnoob: install p7zip-full and p7zip-rar and unp [04:10] do you know of another tv-capture app that i could try? [04:10] kriscolt: you mean you get sound from the capture card from other applications [04:10] no [04:10] i mean i can play a wav file [04:11] kriscolt, maybe it has to do with pulseaudio if it's a sound problem [04:11] ActionParsnip: ahh. I wonder then if there's any way to just disable the trackpad while keeping the mouse. I really don't like the trackpad on this laptop since Ubuntu doesnt let me use the right click, so how can I use it without a right click? [04:11] kriscolt: i've used vlc and mplayer with my 950Q [04:11] em: if you run: lsmod you may be able to see a module which runs the pad, then run: sudo modprobe -r name to disable it [04:12] ActionParsnip, thanks you guys are like family! I love ubuntu. [04:12] em: if its wrong or things misbehave then just reboot [04:12] kriscolt: I've tested just the audio by using arecord from the alsa device my 950q adds and pipe it to aplay [04:12] ubnoob: i'm not sure it'll definately work, but it makes sense [04:13] jgruber, do i need any sort of additional plugin to have vlc work the way i want to or just apt-get install vlc [04:13] ActionParsnip: i'll be back to let you know [04:13] * ActionParsnip loves unp :) [04:13] list [04:14] ActionParsnip: and how do you undo a move like that? [04:14] ActionParsnip: in case I ever wanted to turn it back on? [04:15] kriscolt: I didn't need a plugin, just vlc [04:16] jgruber, ok... i'm sort of there... [04:16] em: sudo modprobe name [04:16] but i'm not sure how to set up the capture device... [04:16] kriscolt: it took me a little time to figure out how to set it up, vlc has been changing [04:16] it's under DVB... [04:16] ActionParsnip: you just type sudo modprobe name and it activates it again? [04:17] dvb may be for digital tv [04:17] im trying to cron a rsync but there is no password param [04:17] <_jesse_> blah, how can I tell gnome-terminal to stop intercepting my function keys? [04:17] hmm... ok no dice then [04:17] the remote ssh host only accepts a password login (no keys) [04:17] am i effed? [04:18] dextro_: you can mount sshfs [04:18] the remote host also closes idle ssh connectinos [04:18] its a webhost [04:18] im just using it for storage [04:19] <_jesse_> never mind, I think I've figured it out [04:19] kriscolt: under capture, then video for linux 2 -- you'll need the name of the video and audio devices [04:19] hey all [04:20] mevkurray, haha funny to go to windows for a solution. I'll give it a shot. [04:20] jgruber, is there a simple way to find the path to the vid/aud devs? [04:21] kriscolt: video would probably be your only /dev/videox device (maybe /dev/video0) [04:21] i tried to install a game (an old windows game) by mounting the iso with gmountiso. now i have an entry in the nautilus places that wont go away, and isn't in fstab/mtab. any way to get rid of this? [04:22] kriscolt: audio is tougher. alsa uses funny names and you probably have other audio input on your computer to confuse things (if you have a sound card) [04:22] in my dev folder i've got video0, video1, video2 [04:22] kriscolt: you could try trial and error for audio devices once you find them [04:22] bc81: I think so, but make a backup first, then rm [04:22] :) nice... of course the audio would be the fun part [04:22] bc81 : tried unmounting it? [04:23] kriscolt: I don't know why you would have more than one video capture device. multiple formats of the same picture, maybe??? [04:24] irc.spotchat.org [04:24] hi gnewb i did remove the mount directory (/media/iso1) but its still there. here's a screenshot: http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/581/screenshotcomputer.png yes, DaGeek247 i did unmount it now when i go to mount it it says "Unable to mount JAZZCDError mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, [04:24] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [04:24] (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use [04:24] ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) [04:24] /server irc.spotchat.org [04:24] kriscolt: before you go to far, is the device listed as one that works for video on the linux-tv web site? [04:24] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [04:24] bc81: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:24] dmesg | tail or so" [04:24] would there be an advantage of formatting my drives ext4 instead of leaving them ntfs? [04:24] i have 3 internal ntfs drives [04:24] well there's the coax inputs on the back of the tower, composite inputs in the front, a couple of svideo inputs, there's a webcam plugged in... [04:25] paq7512: windows cannot access ext4 currently so if you need windows to access the data, keep it ntfs, the partitions are ntfs, not the drives [04:25] sorry for flooding, i didn't know it would make line breaks [04:25] ok, video2 is definitely the webcam. [04:25] video1 crashes vlc [04:25] ok i am just running ubuntu solely [04:25] and video0 comes in all scrambled [04:26] kriscolt: the tv app you are using is almost certainly using one of them if it sees video [04:26] bc81 cant help, sorry. my best thoughts are that you try it as root to make you have full access. [04:27] window show 4 [04:27] jgruber, ok, it's definitely video0 [04:28] paq7512: then ext4 should be more stable due to journalisation [04:28] but vlc pulls it in funny... i think i need to tweak some settings [04:28] how do I deal with: 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. [04:29] how can in configure it to write and copy to those drives? it was giving me permission errors [04:30] how do I find out which package upgrade was blocked?

It's not in lsmod, but it definitely is loading (it's in dmesg). Anyone know how to do that? [04:33] gnewb: aha.

[05:22] dyingprism you mean you dont see items in user/desktop ? [05:22] prity quiet in here tonight [05:23] Wiesshund: no i mean my physical desktop can not be interacted with, i can only use the folder /user/desktop to manage my 'desktop' files [05:23] so you see the stuff but cant do anythign with it? [05:23] I did this because I was trying to use multiple wallpapers for a desktop cube in compiz but I forget how I disabled it [05:23] No I don't see the stuff at all, I can't do anything on the desktop except look at it. [05:24] how does this work? [05:24] dyingprism if you right click desktop you still get the normal popup menu? [05:24] dyingprism, like no icons on the desktop [05:24] like nautilius isn't managing the desktop? [05:25] Wiesshund: no, DEAD_BEEF no DEAD_BEEF yes [05:25] DEAD_BEEF: so that is my new question, how can i set nautalius to manage the desktop again [05:25] probably just logout and back in [05:25] I have a problem with my P311 stereo headset device using Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode). It works fine but when in a2dp mode and there is no audio output, the device goes into a sleep mode then when there is audio again, a2dp stutters until I set it to Telephony Duplex and back to A2DP (or set it from the onboard audio back to the p311 device) [05:26] Hello, I need help. [05:26] oh shit. [05:26] it installed and rebooted fine! awesome! [05:26] I'm trying to install Windows. [05:27] crossedeyefreak: Then you're asking in the wrong channel. Try #windows [05:27] dyingprism Within gconf-editor ensure the "/apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop" option is unchecked <-- that disables desktop, did you do that?

[05:33] jetole: It uses dpkg to remove the package. [05:33] right. but is that more like apt-get remove or apt-get purge ? [05:33] @ soreau [05:33] jetole: If the package is listed in synaptic, you can let the GUI take care of it [05:33] how can I find out why there's a hold on sudo upgrade? aptitude why-not doesn't show any conflicts [05:33] * jetole checks [05:33] jetole: Otherwise see dpkg --help [05:34] kerozene: A hold? [05:34] what's sudo update do now? [05:34] rly :p [05:35] soreau: an upgrade hold in aptitude [05:35] crossedeyefreak what happened to the other 7 disks? [05:35] Huh?

[06:15] whats the most stable kernel that has the polling option? so i can use this workaround drm_kms_helper.poll=0 [06:15] nunya, right click on my name(menu) / open dialog window....... [06:15] gnea: can the computer for install boot off of a USB device? I would assume yes. You should be able to go into the BIOS and set USB as a bootable medium. You may have to change the order that it checks though. ...unless I'm misunderstanding what you're asking for. [06:16] Spaztic_One: AFAIK yes, it's a dell precision 390 and I just hit F12 to set it as the device to boot from [06:16] Gnea: And it still isn't booting off of the USB? [06:17] twiztid, google it , system update , hardware update , look in blogs [06:17] Spaztic_One: it BOOTS off of the USB, but Ubuntu *itself* refuses to accept the fact that the USB device itself is considered the CDROM device, so it never gets to the actual installation phase. [06:17] dustin: have been :-( [06:17] Spaztic_One: it goes to detect the CDROM and it comes up and says "you don't have anything to install from, you are screwed." [06:18] heh [06:18] :) [06:18] and yet, that's not supposed to be the case, and I know the files are there [06:18] gnea, true be threres others ways of doing it , your doing it the hardest way , and i have looked around alot [06:18] #cassandra [06:18] is their a time limit (in years) a person can still have still be able to use a usb dvd rom drive that's never been used? i mean do drives fail and go bad after long periods of no usage? [06:19] gnea: So, do you have an ISO or other image on the usb drive? (and just to clarify, this is an external drive, not a flash memory stick, correct?) [06:20] rollman: dust? Did you try to clean it? [06:20] how well are ubunto on handeling several PCIe gfx? [06:20] dustin, Spaztic_One: I've physically disconnected the actual cdrom drive and that was able to get the installer to at least recognize the fact that it couldn't find anything via UDEV, and gave me the option to manually set it. When it went to scan, it scanned everything except the partition on the usb device itself. Tell me, what's wrong with this picture? [06:20] Spaztic_One: Yes, the ISO is on the usb drive, no, it's a flash memory stick. [06:20] Spaztic_One: USB drive is a sandisk cruser [06:20] never opened it just wondering if it's been a couple years or longer i never opened the box [06:21] Spaztic_One: I tried on a sandisk cruzer blade as well, same deal [06:21] Gnea: Heh, not entirely sure whats going on. But you could try to mount the ISO to /media/disk or something and then have the installer query for drives, perhaps? [06:21] gnea, just a min im going through my library, [06:21] ilon: in my experience, pretty well [06:21] Spaztic_One: haven't tried that, one sec... [06:21] Gnea: I have no idea if that will work, though. [06:22] shcherbak: it doesn't tell me the exact command for the shortcut it just says XF86AudioLowerVolume [06:22] it's got plastic seal wrapped around it [06:23] Gnea: was thinking about using a 3gfx setup to enable the use of 3-6 monitors, just havent had any experience with multiple gfx in ubuntu so far [06:23] ilon: 3gfx?! what's that? [06:24] Spaztic_One: negative, tried it on /media/disk and then on /media by itself, it's full of fail. [06:24] nunya: amixer let you control volume lever from cli. [06:24] Gnea: well, need more than two monitors, and i found a rather cheap 3gfx SLI rigg that i'm thinking about buying [06:24] gnea, how big is your flash dirve , what brand is it? [06:24] Gnea: Eh, was worth a shot I guess... [06:24] ilon: ah I see, nvidia is tested and true, ati leaves something to be desired [06:25] dustin: as I said, it's a sandisk... 2gb [06:25] Spaztic_One: indeed [06:25] sorry very busy , missed that [06:25] np [06:25] Gnea: oh, well, guess i'll go with the idea on nvidia then, never actually bought myself an ATI card, ever. due to the properitary drivers for linux [06:26] Gnea: but the xorg handles separte videocards for multiple monitors quite well then i suppose? [06:26] Gnea: Wait, I think for it to be recognized as a cdrom drive, it needs to be /media/cdrom0 (or some other number, but 0 is a safe bet I think) [06:26] ilon: as I understand it, getting more than 2 monitors to work on multiple ati cards in linux is simply impossible, and if it isn't, it isn't well documented at all [06:27] Spaztic_One: k I'll give that a shot [06:27] Gnea: doing /media/drive was just putting it on the filesystem in that spot, but the cdrom0 should actually make it think its a drive. Again, I could be wrong.... [06:27] Gnea: Sorry if I'm not so good at this help thing. xD [06:28] Gnea: well, will yet have to see about nvidia cards then :D [06:28] Spaztic_One: from what I've observed on tty4, it actually tries to mount anything except for that one partition [06:28] Spaztic_One: and no, /media/cdrom0 didn't work either :) [06:28] Blast. [06:29] yeah, I'm about set to give up for the night [06:29] yeah, I should probably go to bed. its 130 am for me [06:29] >.< [06:29] lol 12:30 here [06:30] anyway, thanks for the attempted help fellas, it's appreciated [06:31] apt-get stuck on Unpacking replacement...any ideas?

[07:00] Yes [07:00] I know even why [07:00] I don't think OpenOffice.org was installed during installation. How can I quickly check? [07:00] csw840915: http://wammu.eu/phones/htc/ list of supported HTC [07:00] GulfStream: distro? [07:01] they changed the version and the libraries of the opensync and synce packages in the latest release from a stable to a development unstable release of the synce package [07:01] dustin: i know that link [07:01] GulfStream: And open a terminal window and type in "openoffice.org-writer" [07:01] dustin: i have done that before [07:01] JackyAlcine: Ubuntu 10.04.1 or Ubuntu 10.04.2 [07:01] GulfStream: It should be installed upon a good clean one. [07:02] GulfStream: Can check by "sudo apt-get install openoffice*" [07:02] thanks guys for the help [07:02] looks like I don't have openoffice. [07:02] ksinkar_ , did you see the caption below the pic< opensus linux [07:02] I will take it from there [07:03] dustin: what i want to know is that my ubuntu software managers shows two wine software versions [07:03] dummy and beta release [07:03] Hi. Is it possible to have ubuntu installed on a usb stick, and use it on multiple computers? By that meaning all the changes made to the os to be remembered, like programs installs, or documents, etc... ? Thanks! [07:03] i want the stable and tested version [07:03] which one should i install [07:04] ksinkar_, I think you want the beta package [07:05] one is for the uesr (stable) and ""dev)elop" unstable [07:05] !usb | domnukalu [07:05] domnukalu: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [07:06] I don t want to install it, but to use it, like the live cd. I ve managed to install from usb stick, but dunno how to use it. Like I said above. [07:07] can i network ubuntu from behind a router [07:07] ksinkar_for games it matter , early on it seemed you need to choose , but10.04 and higher doesnt so much, just what "flavor" and verion [07:07] madmn: you can configure your router to forward ports to your ubuntu server [07:08] okay [07:08] and how would i do that exactly [07:08] madmn: if you forward TCP 22 to your server, that should work. [07:08] ksinkar_,for games it matter , early on it seemed you need to choose , but10.04 and higher doesnt so much, just what "flavor" and verion [07:08] madmn: that is specific to your router, you may want to hit up google with the model and 'port forward' :) [07:08] right now i have to connect to like 192.168.1.103 [07:09] i want to be able to use my static ip [07:09] madmn: you need to configure your router to forward the port to your server. [07:09] GulfStream: Go to LibreOffice. ;) [07:10] JackyAlcine: What is the difference between them? [07:10] so once i port forward then how do i do it [07:10] dustin: the application i want to run is not a game, so should i use the beta version without any problems? [07:11] GulfStream: LibreOffice's a fork of OOo and it's the version that plans to not only *remain* free and for the community, but it's expected to have way more of a plugin system and more integration for *unix systems. [07:11] GulfStream: libre office is pretty much the future of openoffice, due to issues after oracle aquired sun [07:14] domnukalu: yes, any machine (almost). [07:14] Any harm if i remove plymouth?

[08:29] ActionParsnip: you mean from 11.04? [08:29] list [08:29] Rigved: and maverick afaik [08:29] Richie086: sorry, don't know how it does so exactly..you can google it [08:29] kk [08:30] regardless, a million thanks [08:30] ActionParsnip: i have found that aptitute performs better when apt-get tries to uninstall a lot of packages...i'm using 10.04 [08:30] ActionParsnip: thanx for the info! [08:30] Rigved: both will install the deps needed (if available) in any install command [08:31] lorenzo: try /list [08:31] xdcc send [08:31] anyone know how to get secondlife to go fullscreen?

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [08:32] ActionParsnip: hmmm...ok [08:32] irc.darksin.it [08:33] my question isn't directly related to ubuntu but is a close one. I am gonna buy a new motherboard and processor. shuld I go for 64 bit 8mb cache intel i5? I'll run 10.04 or 10.10 on it. also can I keep my current settings and applications by apt on cd? am on a 32 bit system now. also what other options do I have? [08:33] whenever I click any folder under places, Movie player opens and says "an error occured". And the main thing that I cannot close that movie player window === Guest21674 is now known as RaNdY === RaNdY is now known as Guest81402 [08:34] piyushmishra: it'll work without problems [08:34] Rigved: if aptitude is outright better why is it dropped? In fact, why would the Linux experts at Canonical eve [08:34] N include it? [08:35] so to open a folder like Downloads I have to open any usb drive or ext hdd mounte on from desktop and then select the folder [08:35] harpal: not sure it works like a breeze. hardly any config, though no GUI [08:36] Rigved: why do about 90% of the official docs use apt-get? [08:37] ActionParsnip: actually i'm wondering the same thing...maybe apt-get is better...it maybe telling me to uninstall stuff so that there are no issues, as compared to aptitude which did not uninstall...no uninstall was my opinion then...i have not had any problems yet [08:37] rigved: I can't decide which processor and motherboard to get. any hardware tht works good with ubuntu? [08:37] not really [08:37] ubuntu is pretty average with all hardware [08:37] windows does it better really [08:38] piyushmishra: afaik, almost all work [08:38] rigved, ActionParsnip: please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [08:38] hmm then which one do I buy? I got 20k inr for my processor, mother board and ram if needed [08:39] flannel I guess that's for me too [08:39] Rigved: its not better. Its just different. I have never use aptitude and i've never had an issue with dependency [08:39] piyushmishra: decide based on what you want...like will you be running virtual machines and stuff, then go for a VT enabled processor with a higher L2 cache... [08:39] piyushmishra, just a though , if your going for windows go for the power (wine too acts like it, via giuld wars as an exterme) when using linux , its just a monsster truck ,windows a car.. [08:39] Scott`: my FPS (cs) is 10% up in wine that win (apart of smoke sections) [08:39] really [08:39] ActionParsnip: ok. point noted [08:40] ActionParsnip: whats the best way to grab files from the the remote system, I am using SSH, can I use SCP to pull files from the server end [08:40] razz11: totally [08:40] razz11: yes. [08:40] shcherbak: if your cpu is a bottleneck then yeah that makes sense [08:40] windows is heavier than ubuntu [08:41] razz11: nautilus can also mount sshfs :-) [08:41] I am a php developer, will be running apache and running some tests and cron not a lot actually. on windows, I'll be playing games like starcraft 2. any suggestions? [08:41] a noob question: what is the default keystroke of toggle magnifier? [08:41] ActionParsnip: greppy: what is the command syntax [08:42] razz11: take a look at the man page for scp, but in general scp user@remoteserver:/path/to/remote/file /path/to/local/dir [08:44] hi there [08:44] is it possible to modify sudoers to allow a user to run a specific command with sudo without needing a password? [08:44] for example i want user X to be able to run sudo /usr/bin/blah without needing a password [08:45] ice799: add them to the root group. [08:45] greppy: silly, so All I had to do was swap the destination and source around [08:45] . [08:45] JackyAlcine: i thought there was a way to tell sudo [08:45] Hi, I have a realtek alc889a and I cant get my mic working for some reason. [08:46] "let this dude wrun just this one thing with no password sudo" [08:46] i THOUGHT [08:46] ice799: I mean, if you run sudo at least 3 times in the same terminal; it stops asking for a password. [08:46] ice799: Within a five-or-so minute period. Then it asks again. [08:47] JackyAlcine: no this is for an automated script [08:47] that will have no tty [08:47] how to create a user in ubuntu with home directory [08:47] ice799: If you run the script as "sudo", then it'll run as a super user [08:47] Hi All :) [08:47] JackyAlcine: i know [08:47] i want that to happen [08:48] but i dont want to have to enter a password.

[09:03] kerozene: alot [09:03] kero, I'd reinstall from scratch rather than updating [09:03] JackyAlcine: I got it. [09:04] ok next question [09:04] is there a way to ask apt which package a specific file on the filesystem belongs to? [09:04] ice799: How?

[09:04] made2shred, bootninja: what kind of problems emerge? [09:04] ice799: Check the apt man pages.

[09:21] madmn: i suspect adding the user to group sambashare would help [09:21] madmn: you can change your sudoer of a user to require no password, that's my method of giving a user root ability without presence [09:21] I have some PPA's that have not cleanly been removed. Where can I find the repository text file so I may remove them manually... for the record, it's not /etc/apt/sources.list ?

[09:59] now I need to find out how to change the clock to work in 24hour mode and not 12hour mode. [09:59] nope [09:59] i see nothing there [09:59] Is there an English IT term "to telephone home" meaning a computer program is reporting back to the program manufacturer some usage details of the user of the program? Or what is the technical term for this? [09:59] no samba [09:59] ronr__, right click it > preferences [10:00] madmn: maybe this user isn't in the samba group [10:00] i think when i did id madmn it was [10:00] can any one pl look at my this thread [10:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1672613&highlight=grub+partition [10:00] Dedicated Grub partition : Two HDD - Dual boot with windows [10:00] madmn, are your trying to share a file/folder which is in a mounted ntfs partition> [10:01] I have two seperate HDD [10:01] HDD 1 : 160 GB (dedicated to windows, already working) [10:01] HDD 2 : 500 GB Will be using dedicated to ubuntu (not partitioned yet)  [10:01] I want to use the HDD to only for linux and this HDD is not partitioned yet.  [10:01] What I want to do is  [10:01] - A dedicated Grub partition (/boot) on HDD 2 (Do I really need it when I am using just two os?) [10:01] - / root partition [10:01] snimavat: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:01] Hi, Can anyone please tell me how to determine whether the CPU is 32-bit or 64-bit, I am running Ubuntu 10.10. [10:01] no these files are on the ubuntu server which i am on right now [10:01] elky: ok, that's just embarassing :) [10:01] in the home directory [10:01] ? [10:01] ronr__, you're used to fighting for this stuff ;) [10:01] there is a pictures directory [10:02] i want to share that with certain users [10:02] madmn, did you try the command chmod and chown i wrote before? [10:02] madmn: I think my original quick dirty method to verfy you are not in some needed group and just become a part of all of them would take secounds [10:02] can you do it again i am in the sudo account now [10:02] elky: probably :) now, I may ask for blasphemy, but is there a way to avoid being asked for my password every time I want to install updates? [10:02] Can any one help me partitioning my new HDD [10:03] whats the command again [10:03] opc_0de: uname -a will tell you whether you have 32bit or 64bit ubuntu installed, it'll either have x86 or x86_64 [10:03] madmn, follow sacarlson [10:03] ronr__, no sorry. [10:03] madmn: if you want to share with cirtain users maybe ssh share would be easier [10:03] maybe I should change my password to something simpler then :p [10:03] oi [10:03] okay tell me how then [10:03] oi [10:03] i don't care what method i use [10:04] hello, i tried a command to change my computer name but now it's defaulting to "localhost" instead of the name i wanted, any help? [10:04] shum: hmm, but it's possible that you can have a 32 bit OS running on a 64-bit system right? So i was asking if there was a more like a hardware info I can read somewhere [10:04] madmn: but you want to share with windows I"m not sure what they support in ssh [10:04] I also have his annoying issue with VLC where sometimes I get a second-pause in sound, but I guess this is not the right place to ask about it. [10:05] madmn: for ssh share it's as simple as sudo apt-get install ssh [10:05] hello, i tried a command to change my computer name but now it's defaulting to "localhost" instead of the name i wanted, any help? [10:05] i can see the ubuntu server in the network list and then i see this box i double click on the server and up pops the folders i have shared [10:05] barabashka: check out opacity [10:05] multiplatinum: you mean hostname? edit /etc/hostname and update it with the new name. [10:05] elky: what about not asking me for my password every time I come back frmo idle? is that possible? [10:05] ronr__, you can try. i recommend first turning off the blingy stuff in appearances [10:06] done i installed ssh [10:06] opc_0de, i've done that but it got messed up somehow? :S [10:06] madmn: so it works now? [10:06] ronr__, sure, make screensaver not lock the screen [10:06] nope same error [10:06] elky: blingy stuff? [10:06] Can you recommend a good 2D CAD pragram? [10:06] do i have to log out and log back in ? [10:06] ronr__, visual effects [10:06] i just installed what you told me too [10:06] madmn: so you are now a part of all groups?

[10:07] madmn, please use the pastebin next time, ok? :) [10:07] madmn: use a pastebin is your copying lines from a terminal [10:07] multiplatinum, : These are the only two things I do when I want to change the hostname - 1) run "hostname ", 2)update /etc/hostname 3)reboot [10:08] madmn: I don't think that's all the groups so I assume you didn't follow my instructions [10:08] elky: lol we both said about pastebins at the same time [10:08] Dice-Man: I chang opacity but no effect (0-255) [10:08] opc_0de, i did this command: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts /etc/hostname [10:08] elky: I've already set it to 'None' before. Not sure what that has to do with the sound pauses though (unless you weren't referring to that). [10:08] i did the ssh install [10:09] opc_0de, i changed every old name to the new one, rebooted, and now it's messed up :S [10:09] like you told me too [10:09] Messedup how? what's changed? [10:09] ronr__, well i don't know what your processor or anything is like, it was just a guess. [10:09] hmm, what's the default irc client in gnome? at work I use kde. [10:10] why movie player get opening when clicking folder under "palces" [10:10] madmn: if you want to move to ssh share you won't be using samba any more, you would (from another ubuntu) go to Places>Connect to sever>ssh [10:10] elky: it's atom :p [10:10] will i lose my data if i do "sudo do-release-upgrade"? from 8.10 to 9.04 [10:10] i would rather use samba share if i could [10:10] ronr__, it's the one in empathy. i recommend either installing konversation or kopete if you want the ones you have at work already, or xchat if you want to try something new [10:10] if there is a way to get to to do what i want [10:10] how to assign sudo privileges to other users [10:10] madmn: then you would have to continue with adding you user to all groups [10:10] opc_0de, when i log in, it says "Ubuntu 10.10" instead of a computer name (old or new), and when i open a terminal for example, it says @localhost instead of the new name, also, when i delete something, i can only empty the trash via the applet on my panel, nautilus blocks access :S [10:11] elky: konversation it is then. fairly comfortable with it by now. [10:11] is there a fast way to add myself to all the groups then ? [10:11] ronr__, yeah, atoms can have some fun with decoding HD stuff on the fly if it's not the one with the fancy nvidia stuff [10:12] madmn: secounds as I instructed you before [10:12] elky: obviously, it is an ION based machine otherwise I wouldn't even try running HD on it. [10:12] is there a shortcut to open a terminal window? [10:12] madmn: should I send it a third time? [10:12] abhinav_singh: it's on the wiki http://goo.gl/TZfPX [10:12] please [10:12] ronr__, then im not sure what it is, sorry [10:12] sorry, really a newbie here :p [10:12] Hi all i Generated yesterday a packege from a SVN Trunk, Cmake ,make mackage sudo install! -> now today there are changes to the SVN do i have to remove the packet from synaptic first and delete the packet in the generated Folder AND then generate new by cmake [10:12] i must have missed the post in this window [10:12] abhinav_singh: adjust /etc/suoders or add them to "admin" group for full sudo-access [10:12] ronr__, nah, you're doing well [10:13] sudoers* [10:13] elky: that's ok. it may be the alsa drivers I've installed. there was an update last night, so it may have fixed the pause issues. [10:13] I'm looking for a tiling window manager, what's easy to get working? [10:13] multiplatinum: hmm, Yeah that's messed up!!, Can you paste following data - 1) new hostname, 2)content of { /etc/hostname , /etc/hosts} on pastebin and paste the link here? [10:13] madmn: this is the third and last time I'm sending this: go to System>Administration>Samba and preferences>samba user. see if madmn is there or not. [10:14] ok opc_0de [10:14] assuming I'm not confusing alsa with something else :p [10:14] i dont have a samba under preferences [10:14] madmn: sorry wrong line [10:14] ronr__, alsa is sound stuff, yes [10:14] madmn: I have to backup and find the correct line this time [10:15] opc_0de, how do i retrieve "new hostname"? or are you just asking for the new name it should display? [10:15] elky: good, I'm getting the hang of things. there's so much more tweaking that needs to be done. [10:16] hi, when i print a file with numbers in it, some numbers are printed as a null character []. It doesn't matter if the file is in pdf format or plain text. Nor does it seem to matter if I save it with ASCII or utf encoding. How can i fix this? [10:16] how can i open port 443? [10:16] ronr__, meh, you're talking about computers, the tweaking is /never/ done :D [10:16] So a few of our servers display this "System information disabled due to load higher than 1" upon login despite their load being 0.4 (etc). Any ideas? === pouyan is now known as pouyana [10:16] elky: true dat ;) [10:16] multiplatinum: "new hostname" is the name the new hostname you want your computer to be updated to [10:16] madmn: try go into System>administration>user & groups>manage gruops>properties then check all the boxes and see if it works then [10:16] ok opc_0de ill pm you for that [10:16] I need to setup firefox nightly builds, and copy the profile from the other computer. [10:16] tasse: on ubuntu, it's open by default just like all other ports [10:16] multiplatinum, : ok [10:16] hm [10:17] hi [10:17] i'd like to limit the bandwidth used by apt, any idea how to achieve that ? [10:17] and I want to set up XBMC which seems to have loads of options in it as well. [10:17] i just tried to use ubuntu one but it does not synchronise, its always "Synchronising..."

[10:19] same issue with dropbox [10:19] yes going through them right now [10:19] almost done [10:19] thats point, why i tried ubunto one ;) [10:19] tasse: oh ok [10:19] lestat: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-20342.html [10:19] couldnt establish a secure connection with dropbox, so i thought ill try ubuntoone instead.. === ogra is now known as ogra_ === ogra_ is now known as ogra [10:20] elky: anyways, I think I'm gonna have lunch now. thanks for all the help and I may bug you again later ;) [10:20] ronr__, cya, good luck :) [10:20] hi [10:21] is there a server version of this channel? [10:21] got any idea mrintegrity ? i'm behind a vpn . [10:21] lestat: the apt.conf way seems the cleanest to me [10:21] jmkgreen: #ubuntu-server [10:21] tasse: probably your vpn service blocks it... ? [10:21] madmn: ok and I also found you can share in window 7 with ssh http://superuser.com/questions/67551/mounting-ssh-sftp-shares-on-windows-7 [10:22] DJones: ta [10:22] Hey guys. I use gnubiff to check for new email and it lets you pick any icon you want for read mail and new mail. I picked the following two icons which are included in ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10: /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/status/24/indicator-messages-new.svg and /usr/share/icons/ubuntu-mono-dark/status/24/indicator-messages.svg. In ubuntu 10.04 these worked fine with the default gnome dark theme that comes with ubuntu however in 10.10 the transparent ... [10:22] i removed my ubuntu drive manually, now i cant boot into windows from other drive, grub goes rescue "no such device".. any idea how i can boot into windows [10:22] ... part of the icon is appearing white on the gnome panel. Does anyone know how I can fix this or if I even can? Should I file a bug report with ubuntu? [10:22] yeah thats why i installed windows to try it - and there it works [same vpn] [10:22] numbfall: boot the windows install cd and reinstall the windows bootloader. alternatively reinstall grub configuration from the ubuntu cd [10:23] and my mate, that uses the same vpn next to me and also ubuntu 10.04 doesnt have the problem [10:23] tasse: ok, sorry but i don't know [10:23] madmn: so that's the solution for your secound problem with ssh you can only share with a user you have an account with [10:23] hm ok thanks.. [10:23] tasse: check your firewall policy (iptables if you have it set up) [10:23] tasse: I missed your original question. What VPN are you using? [10:23] dont use a firewall [10:24] using the vpn of my university [10:24] okay all the boxes are checked now [10:24] should i restart [10:24] or log out and back in ? [10:24] madmn: it should work now without reboot [10:25] madmn: did you get my message about ssh and windows 7? [10:25] i created the user with out assigning the password ...how can i set the password from him now ?

[10:27] madmn: I don't think so it should work you are now a part of all those groups [10:27] and iptables -L just gives Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) [10:27] target prot opt source destination [same for INPUT/FORWARD] @ mrintegrity [10:27] abhinav_singh, using gnome ? [10:27] okay its still not working so i must be doing something else wrong [10:27] mrintegrity: thanks .. i'll use the live ubuntu usb to reconfigure grub. [10:27] still the same error [10:27] madmn: if it still fails then it was my other thought it's an ntfs file system [10:27] i should see samba under system somewhere though right ?

[10:52] ok sorry [10:52] just logged in [10:53] not used irc for a long while [10:53] abhinav_singh, su sudo addpass user [10:53] madmn: ok then lest look at ls -l ~/Pictures [10:53] if i make a new folder called temp i can share it with nothing in it [10:53] hmmm brother Zvrk [10:54] same result [10:54] Ola ikonia bruder [10:54] there is no files in this folder yet [10:54] i want to put the windows files on this folder as a backup [10:54] abhinav_singh, no problems [10:54] snimavat: i do not now what the question is. what you want to do is possible. where is the problem then? go ahead and do it. ( althought maybe 60 MiB for boot is too small ) [10:54] that way i have them [10:54] hi guys, got a problem… i have web server with sftp, everything is working file… i have two usergroups who use sftp: sftponly and sftpslave… i want to change the umask of just the users of sftpslave so that they always upload file with 775 permissions, there's a way to do that? i found a lot of tutorial to change all the users umask, but nothing to apply just to the match in the sshd_config [10:54] madmn: same result won't it return the owner and group of the dir? [10:54] nope [10:54] not the way you told me to type it [10:55] snimavat: and btw; you do not need a separate fat partition for file sharing. linux supports ntfs just fine [10:55] madmn: ok my mistake ls-l -d ~/Pictures [10:56] setting specific umask just for a directory would solve the problem as well [10:56] madmn: ls -l -d ~/Pictures I missed the space there [10:56] command not found [10:57] erUSUL: thnx [10:57] is /boot and grub loader different ? [10:58] sacarlson : http://paste.ubuntu.com/556482/ [10:58] erUSUL: /boot partition = dedicated grub partition, isnt it? [10:58] snimavat: /boot doesn't have to be a dedicated partition [10:58] snimavat: yes; grub loader gets installed in the disk mbr ( a tiny 512 bytes area ) once it runs it goes and look in the /boot/grub/ partition for what it needs to continue booting the machine [10:58] What could I install to transform a *.mod file in an *.ogg, *.mp3 or a *.wav file? [10:59] (what should) [10:59] madmn: I see no resoon you can't share that directory from that account [10:59] i guess no one can help me :P [10:59] yeah neither do i [10:59] but its not letting me for some reason [10:59] opc_0de, hey [10:59] (confused) [10:59] FrozenKnight: you need a MOD player, if we're talking about the ancient, pre-midi computer music format from Amiga land [11:00] ne2k: you gave me a great idea... [11:00] anyone else finding that while watching a flash video will sometimes cause the plugin (Flash) to start eating up CPU and then drop for a bit before spiking again ...? [11:00] madmn: mabe now that your a memeber of more groups you can create a new dir and share that new one? [11:00] ne2k: yeah, but it's not that antient :) [11:00] how do I restart an app like gedit so it will use new config files? [11:00] (ancient) [11:01] yeah i can do it that way i just tried [11:01] bencc: close it; run it again [11:01] madmn: then just delete the dir and recreate it or just start sharing from your new dir [11:01] this seems to be the issue with Flash in my case ... heavy-duty CPU spiking ... [11:02] that works too never thought of that lol [11:02] now for logging in with filezilla [11:02] FrozenKnight: timidity is worth a look [11:02] erUSUL: if I have several instances of it, a new one will use new config? [11:02] i use my router address 192.168..... i want to use my actual ip how do i do that [11:03] ne2k: that should be good but I think it's more for the midi files. [11:03] bencc: do not think so [11:03] ne2k: you made me remember milkytracker :) [11:03] madmn: I guess some security setting in samba prevents shareing folders that have access to all users [11:03] madmn: what are you trying to do? [11:03] returned I said yoda master === zhang is now known as Guest45124 === Guest45124 is now known as zhang_ [11:04] erUSUL: thanks [11:05] i want to log into my box through my actual static ip [11:05] i installed google earth but it doesnt work why [11:05] right now i log into the box through my router ip [11:05] !work | etidhor [11:05] etidhor: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [11:05] i installed it via syn.pack man [11:05] its a 192.168...... address [11:06] and my static ip is like 207.216. [11:06] madmn: need... more... detail. where is your box, what is its IP, what is this "actual static IP" of which you speak, where are you trying to connect to it from? [11:06] why is that we can change gtk themes without having gnome installed and we can't can't change qt4 apps without kde ? [11:07] madmn: do you mean from outside your network or when you are inside on lan? [11:07] the router ip is 192.168.1.103 [11:07] outside the network [11:07] i am doing it from the lan right now [11:07] madmn: a router with one IP address wouldn't be very useful [11:07] but i want to be able to do it from the outside [11:07] i only want it for my use [11:08] how long does it take rootstock to build an image? [11:08] not to share with anyone else [11:08] ksinkar_, what is rootstock [11:08] madmn: if you want to have access to your system from outside you need to setup your router to forward ports to your system ip, you should setup your system on your lan as static if that's your plan [11:08] madmn: stop using carriage return as punctuation. describe succinctly in one line what you actually want to do, with details, including from where, to where, what. [11:09] what would you suggest is my best step sacarlson [11:09] whatever way will work the best [11:09] Does anyone have a handly link that I forward onto a friend, how to setup your ubuntu server to dial a pptp connection to your office :) [11:09] madmn: from outside I would only use ssh so forward port 22 to your static system ip [11:09] how do i tell my system ip is that my static ip ? [11:10] ok will try that thanks for all your help [11:10] sacarlson: don't use a standard ssh port - use a high port, like 12322, and forward that port to ssh port 22 internally [11:10] i really appreciate it [11:10] sorry madmn, that last comment was at you [11:10] people, whats the shortcut key to push the active window to another desktop ? i searched manual and not able to find, am running gnome 10.04 v of ubuntu 64 bit [11:10] how to install on ubuntu all backtrack tools?

[11:10] grigoriades, get a list of them then install [11:10] itguru: good point madmn: don't use standard ssh port [11:11] okay will try something higher [11:11] itguru: install pptp-linux then use: pppd noauth nobsdcomp nodeflate require-mppe-128 name $USERNAME password $PASSWORD remotename PPTP pty "pptp $PPTP_SERVER_IP --nolaunchpppd" [11:11] ne2k: SWEET! [11:11] how to find them and get a list of them? [11:11] * itguru realises that he has to figure it out, to be able to explain it to person in need! [11:11] grigoriades, check the backtrack channel or their support forums etc [11:11] itguru: you may have to use route add -net $DESTINATION dev ppp0 after that too [11:11] #backtrack-linux grigoriades [11:12] itguru: depending on what the pptp server hands off to you automagically [11:12] me let me try [11:12] itguru: there may be a GUIish way but that's what I use because I'm comfortable with it. it doesn't do keepalive or anything though so it's not perfect [11:13] ne2k: So, I guess a script will be handy to use [11:16] In 10.04 all function keys working on my Compaq Notebook,but in 10.10 the brightness key does not work.Why it so [11:16] has anybody used rootstock over here [11:18] can i setup a specific umask for a group? [11:19] i'm getting a pretty reliable crash whenever i suspend (and about 20% of the time when i hibernate) with the proprietary NVidia driver [11:20] pm-suspend log shows that the after the "performing suspend" log line, i just don't get an "Awake."

I have icedtea6-plugin installed but it isn't using it [11:24] BlaDe^: Idt that's possible as of yet. [11:24] ksinkar_, you still havent said what rootstock is [11:24] ah okay [11:24] bazhang: sorry [11:25] bazhang: actually even i haven't understood it well, but it is supposed to create root fs with ubuntu on it. can you explain the meaning of that to me?

[11:41] how does, for example look your permissions for /bin/sudo at the moment bazhang? [11:41] mkf00, this is because of something rkhunter alerted you to? its well known for generating false positives [11:42] ne2k, when it says xf86Explorer which keys does it mean ? [11:42] !grub2 | abualijawad read this first [11:42] abualijawad read this first: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[11:45] My app will also need USB and BT audio in/out, so that is my main reason for considering PA [11:46] just read a forum thread stating that setting swappiness to 'zero' should increase system performance. i have a swap partition and two gigs of ram, is this advisable? [11:46] meco: describe your crashing symptoms in more detail [11:46] wwwyzzerdd: what is "swappiness"? [11:46] wwwyzzerdd: swap is usually half size of ram, only used if you're out of ram at some point [11:46] wwyzzerdd not really [11:47] the swap only is useds for the least used file operations when normal ram doesnt do it [11:47] Gryllida: swap is normally twice the size of RAM the way Ubuntu installs things, I think [11:47] ok [11:47] the unix memory managedment is considered very effective [11:47] ne2k: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq see the part "What is swappiness and how do I change it?"

[12:25] Eagle: DDR3 afaik [12:25] meco: I mix up apic and acpi... I had to turn off one of those on an old machine to mak eit work [12:26] ne2k: I don't have the BIOS password. I guess that precludes making any BIOS changes? [12:26] meco: not if you don't mind doing a hard reset on the BIOS -- there's usually a jumper you can put on a pair of pins to wipe it [12:26] llutz: Thanks ;-) ;-) ;-) [12:26] meco .. sigh .. jumper .. reset ... oldest useless password in the world. [12:26] llutz, not sure. was going to run this through several dirs [12:27] UserX7: then let "mypath" use $1 and call your script with desired pathes [12:27] ne2k: OK, that sounds feasible, except it's still a bit scary... [12:28] hello there! I'm learning python, and i'm stuck trying to "integrate" two programs (in two files)... i need to launch the second through the first, passing parameters to it (variables). Is there a good tutorial on how to work with multiple files? thanks [12:28] WobblyWindow: the folks in #python should be able to set you straight [12:28] anyone know what is needed to setup a DNS Server? like how I register it or what I need to do to enable people to acutaly find the DNS to resolve the Domain? [12:28] Hi. Want to check. Does ubuntu support hdmi audio n dolby digital sound? [12:28] shaggy2: :/ you needs to read up alot [12:29] shaggy2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto === honeypot_ is now known as honeypot [12:29] sipior: i couldn't find a way to chat there... there is some kind of registration that i can't do. [12:29] llutz I think he needs alot more then that [12:29] WobblyWindow, #freenode to register [12:29] shaggy2: and don't use that in public until you are very sure about how that stuff works [12:29] !register > WobblyWindow [12:29] WobblyWindow, please see my private message [12:30] . [12:30] tev: right you are [12:30] ok. thank you very much guys! [12:32] Wondering anyone replied or not [12:32] I have gnome installed and in network manager I have removed my wired connection, now when I try to add it then on both interface it takes same ipaddress [12:32] how to specify a configuration is for eth0 and for eth1 other configuration [12:32] through network-manager === andi is now known as Guest34588 [12:35] hey guys, noob q here... [12:35] !ask| greenbit [12:35] greenbit: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [12:35] o ok [12:35] :) [12:36] how do i run a task in the background on a server i have ssh'ed to? my tasks die when i close the console window on my client [12:36] !screen | greenbit [12:36] greenbit: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [12:36] id rather keep it console for security reasons === Guest42588 is now known as RaNdY [12:37] greenbit: you might try reading that link first. [12:37] screen is still technically part of console :) it just another shell prompt inside the program === RaNdY is now known as Guest19536 [12:37] oh i see, thankyou. reading now... [12:37] greenbit: redirect the output to a file and then close the command with &, for example: #command &> /dev/command.log & [12:38] greenbit: that way the command is moved to background but both standard output and error output are redirected to command.log .... === qwerty is now known as Guest11326 [12:38] there's also nohup [12:38] ct529: you would still need to prefix that with nohup or the like. [12:38] greenbit: sorry /dev/command.log means in reality /path-to-wherever you like/command.log [12:39] who help me for videochat with amsn? [12:39] i see. ye :) im running a mongo server that does its own logging. whats the command without stdout redirection? [12:39] bazhang: I have tried to sort that out but have not been successful. To me it appears that Banshee 1.8.0 is still in development and the documentation too. -- Thank you for commenting. [12:40] sipior: only if you actually log out .... so you do #nohup command &> /dev/command.log & [12:40] sipior: but if you want to keep working in the same terminal it is ok without nohup === denny_ is now known as denny [12:40] ct529: obviously. but he specifically mentions closing his terminal in the original question. [12:40] greenbit: #nohup command & if you do not want redirection [12:41] i see, could i ask what the nohup command does? does it fork a new process on the server? [12:41] hi [12:42] greenbit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup [12:42] greenbit: type 'man nohup' to read all about [12:42] im a bit at loss - where do i configure the services for startup, i'd like to disable autostarting some [12:42] it [12:42] greenbit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nohup is not bad [12:43] brilliant, thats exactly what i wanted [12:43] greenbit: the standard output (file descriptor 1) and the standard error output (file descriptor 2) can be redirected separately or together using &> [12:43] greenbit: I normally redirect them together ;) [12:44] although i have realized that this is pretty silly, since if my server reboots id have to run it again. how do i edit the list of startup processes via ssh? [12:44] greenbit: do you mean using upstart and services? [12:45] greenbit: or using /etc/rc.xx [12:46] quit [12:46] ronny: could you please elaborate [12:46] exit [12:46] i have problem after upgrading to 10.10 [12:46] wolkarix_, really want help? [12:46] ct529: i guess i need a recommendation? i have a mongo server that needs to always be running on the server for my web app. [12:46] !details | wolkarix_ [12:46] wolkarix_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [12:47] ct529: i got a few services installed i only want to start when i need them, not at startup [12:47] ct529: the command is a simple /opt/mongo/bin/mongod [12:47] (postgres, mysql, apache, ... [12:47] wolkarix_, really want help? [12:47] what mongo? [12:47] i was running 10.4 yesterday i upgraded to 10.10 after that i m unable to make adhoc wireless network [12:48] wolkarix_ ubuntu has been like this for a while , 9.04 as far as i know [12:48] it is shown in my system but others cannot connect to it [12:48] !details | ronny [12:48] ronny: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [12:48] wat to do now [12:49] what's mongo ? [12:49] greenbit: I am sorry, but do not know mongo at all .... can you start it using inetd? [12:49] wolkarix_, how much work have you put into the so? [12:49] ct529: basically i have no idea how to configure what services to start in ubuntus init system [12:49] anyone had any luck swapping the fn and control keys on a macbook pro running ubuntu ? [12:50] i've looked everywhere and can't find a way to do it [12:50] nothing just tried from other systems and created many others t cross check abt the problem [12:51] ronny: I use the /etc/rc.xxxx method which is completely out of date, so I suggest you read the upstart documentation, sorry .... :-( [12:51] I just installed 10.4 netbook on my ASUS and can't get the ethernet cable to work [12:51] walkkenn: please post the output of lspci | grep -i eth [12:52] Hi everyone! [12:52] ronny: there is documenation here http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [12:52] which tiling window manager, would be good for a linux beginner to try out? [12:52] walkkenn, , is it the bios? [12:53] any help for adhoc n/w [12:53] ct529: they completely seem to lack any docs on configuring it that way [12:53] ct529: im not entirely sure, but can i maybe put the command to run it in a startup script? [12:53] what does fmask and umask option in fstab mean? [12:53] greenbit: I wouldn't .... [12:54] i need help guys. There is problem with broken package libc6-dev after "apt-get upgrade" and -f option won't help [12:54] wolkarix_, which chipset/driver? fyi upgrading isn't really recommended as it may leave traces of old setup that may cause conflicts, etc [12:54] greenbit: well, you could build a wrapper and put it into the /etc/rc.level you want, that would work [12:54] greenbit: a wrapper would be your script.sh [12:54] ricoh [12:55] wolkarix_, hmm that's not particularly helpful, is the wireless device connected via USB? [12:55] no its inbuilt [12:56] ct529: is that really the simplest ? [12:56] wolkarix_, ok, I need you to pastebin (not paste) me the output of your lspci -nnk [12:56] hi [12:56] How do you post? [12:56] after doing 'make install_modules' and long waiting I discovered that there was no new dir in /lib/modules when putting the 2.6.32-28 kernel together :o [12:56] where dit it go ? source directory? [12:57] where to pastebin [12:57] http://kalmbach.wordpress.com/2010/10/25/ubuntu-start-up-script-for-mongo-db-server/ looks like thats what i need? [12:57] If I want to run and switch between two keyboard layouts, let's say Thai and English. What is the most efficent way to do that?

[12:57] greenbit: well, it works well .... but that sayd there is the new upstart / service combination which possibly works better [12:57] ct529: will read up on that [12:58] greenbit: yes, this is exactly what I am telling you [12:58] greenbit: the link you sent me [12:58] greenbit: does the same thing [12:58] fenrig, I think usually if successful the modules goes into /lib/modules/`uname -r` directory but I think in your case there might have been errors with modules or there's no devices drivers set as module [12:59] wolkarix_, well heres the thing , i think this is a bug unforeseen , and its been around for 9.04 that i have personally known of , easisy way is to reinstall [12:59] psycho_oreos :o o yeah that could be :o thx :) [12:59] Hi everyone [12:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/556503/ [12:59] greenbit: what does the mongo server do, by the way? [13:00] mongo is a database that uses high performance key value stores in json [13:00] used it for my web app, seems decent [13:00] psycho_oreos: first the modules get compiled and after a succesfull compilation it goes in /var/lib/... ? [13:00] psycho_oreos : http://paste.ubuntu.com/556503/ [13:00] greenbit: http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/04/get-to-know-linux-the-etcinitd-directory/ that can help you a bit [13:01] ronny: by the way, http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/04/get-to-know-linux-the-etcinitd-directory/ could help you a bit as well! [13:01] fenrig, compile modules stays in the same directory as the source kernel [13:02] psycho_oreos: then what goes in /var/lib/... ? [13:02] wolkarix_, yup I picked up that link before you reposted it, hmm [13:02] k [13:02] Paste from walkkenn at Fri, 21 Jan 2011 08:00:39 +0000 [13:03] fenrig, have a check yourself, it seems like a mixture of various libraries [13:03] hello how can I : Make sure the Universe repositories are enabled in your repositories list for gdebi will look for WordNet which is available only in the Universe. [13:03] induz, check software sources in synaptic package manager [13:04] so How can I add Universe Repo for Artha? [13:04] wolkarix_, have you tried a livecd/liveusb version of the same ubuntu as you now have upgraded? it might be the issue that dustin faced [13:04] induz, for what? === FredGeek_ is now known as FredGeek [13:04] psycho_oreos: thx I'll retry ;) I'll be back [13:05] no i have installed 10.4 from live cd and upgraded it to 10.10 after 10 days [13:05] for Artha is a handy English thesaurus having distinct features like [13:06] induz, check in synaptic package manager, as I said [13:06] Artha=off-line thesaurus based on WordNet [13:06] i have another ruby script that i need running continuously. it has a .sh wrapper, should i just run it from within /etc/rc.local? [13:06] wolkarix_, well I guess ideally its best to get 10.10 image and see if the issue exists. If not then you may need to re-setup your ubuntu again [13:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/556505/ [13:06] Artha is a very nice application, & past [13:07] how can i install autoconf? [13:07] bazhang, Artha is installed but version is OLD so i want a new version...how can i do that? [13:07] walkkenn: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1507090.html look at that [13:07] grep -i eth doesn't seem to produce an output [13:08] !autoconf [13:08] walkkenn: lspci | grep -i eth [13:08] greenbit: either that or one of the others .... [13:09] rams: same way you install everything else: use APT. But why do you want to? [13:09] greenbit: (like /etc/init.d) [13:09] induz: get source from the artha website & install using ./configure, make, make install [13:09] Who feels like a stupid question! [13:09] $HOME/.Oolite/AddOns where can I find that :( [13:09] I'm trying to install xfce on top of ubuntu server, just to be sure I've tried 2 times, but it installs gnome! This is crazy :) I use these commands: 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core' and then 'sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop'. I can see it installing xfce things too but alot of gnome too and after startx I have gnome. [13:10] uh oh I have to go [13:10] enjoy the rest of your day [13:10] u2 [13:10] Hilarie: $HOME means /home/YOUR_USERNAME. ".Oolite" is a hidden directory (press ctrl-h, or view -> hidden in nautilus) === Marin is now known as Marin` [13:10] Jean1: startxfce4 ? [13:10] will try [13:10] @jrib Your a pretty lady you know that? [13:10] hi all, my Ubuntu 10.10 is unable to resolve names. I can ping a direct internet IP but not a servername. how can I fix that? [13:10] hey so jockey didn't amend xorg.conf to enable the restricted nvidia driver, i had to do it manually [13:10] Jean1, wild guess, but you need to tell aptitude not to install recommended packages by default, or by the time it's traversed recommended packages for all that you're installing you have half of gnome [13:11] did i miss something? [13:11] Jean1: you don't use gdm? Why are you using "startx"? [13:11] yeah I'v got a full gnome install now, i don't want that [13:11] jrib, i wanted to run some script, that on entering ./autogen.sh gave an error that autoconf is not found [13:11] rams: what script? [13:11] jrib, i got it , its apt-get install autoconf [13:11] i assume best way to get rid of all the gnome stuff is to just install ubuntu server again? [13:11] nah [13:11] finally i ported the voodoo sound to the I9000B Latin!!! :D [13:12] the sound is great!!!!! [13:12] rams: yes, but if you're compiling something, there's probably a better way. We have to know what the "something" is to tell though [13:12] jrib, that is a X11 pluging [13:12] apt-get remove --purge gnome* libgnome* or so.. debian has a factoind on it [13:12] i forget exactly [13:12] jrib, that is a X11 plugin [13:12] Jean1, try aptitude -R install xubuntu-desktop [13:12] can any one tell me which package is responsible for wirelless connection like wireless adhoc server [13:12] rams: just say what it is exactly, don't be vague :/ [13:12] !purekde [13:12] If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [13:12] Jean1: no, remove gdm gnome-core and autoremove [13:12] ra2011: cat /etc/resolv.conf [13:12] DeadPanda i tried that [13:13] ping [13:13] Jean1, still wound up with half of gnome? [13:13] Jean1, pita - any reason you can't use the xubuntu installer? [13:13] hi2all [13:13] ok shcherbak ill try that [13:13] frznlogic:its empty! [13:13] i want ubuntu server first because the lamp [13:13] ra2011: if you are using dhcp, you need to either set up your dhcp to give out a dns, otherwise, set up one manually in the network-manager [13:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/556509/ [13:13] hi all - anyone know how to configure ubuntu to use traditional ifup instead of network manager ui? [13:13] it sets it up [13:13] can any one tell me which package is responsible for wirelless connection like wireless adhoc server [13:14] Jean1: Also there may be "clean" xfce ppa [13:14] frznlogic:I'm not using dhcp [13:14] peoples, who setting up the InterView Board on Ubuntu 10.04? How to install IRpads? [13:15] jrib, see this: http://brej.org/blog/?p=158 [13:15] Jean1: you can use the xubuntu install and setup lamp just as easy (use tasksel), or you can install server and then install the "xubuntu-desktop" package to get xubuntu. Probably the only difference will be that with one you end up with the -generic kernel and with the other the -server kernel [13:15] frznlogic:I already configured my internal ip addr... [13:15] remove gdm gnome-core does not work, i guess i'll install ubuntu server again [13:15] ra2011: right click the network-manager, configure network connections, choose your connection, go to settings, go ipv4 settings, set dns servers [13:15] apply and test it [13:15] ok jrib [13:15] if there is no $HOME/.Oolite/AddOns do I just create one? [13:16] can any one tell me which package is responsible for wirelless connection like wireless adhoc server [13:16] Hilarie: yeah [13:16] Hola [13:16] rams: ok [13:16] I'm going to try the xubuntu way, thanks folks [13:16] ty [13:16] !compile > rams [13:16] rams, please see my private message [13:16] best game ver btw [13:16] wolkarix_ nm-applet ? [13:16] ever* [13:17] frznlogic:ok, I'll try that... [13:17] jrib i tried installing xubuntu, it just keeps on installing gnome [13:17] ra2011: a tip, 8.8.8.8 is a dns server for public use by google :) [13:17] Jean1: that can't be true [13:17] and thanks [13:17] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 19080 Apr 1 18:26 /bin/login what does the "1" mean here after permission bits [13:17] yues it is [13:17] jrib, do you mean that using !compile i don't need autoconf to run the script? [13:17] i didn't believe it myself [13:18] Jean1: you never answered my original question. Why aren't you using a desktop manager and instead using startx? [13:18] rams: no, !compile just has the bot send you a useful link with information about compiling [13:18] abhinav_singh: hard links [13:19] jrib I use these commands that i read on a support site: 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core' and then 'sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop', 'sudo startx' [13:19] jrib, ok, thank you:-) [13:19] !compile [13:19] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [13:19] abhinav_singh: (you can read « info ls »), man page doesn't have the information [13:19] jrib I use these commands that i read on a support site: 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core' and then 'sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop', 'sudo startx' [13:19] Jean1: use a desktop manager [13:19] but it runs gnome [13:20] ok jrib [13:20] tuxfrw, squid and msn-proxy in the same server, anyone knows how to redirect port 1863 ? [13:20] oh well, i ll just download xubuntu and then a lamp install [13:20] frznlogic: thanks for this tip [13:21] Jean1: that's just a waste of time. You likely have xfce AND gnome for whatever reason. But you aren't telling startx what you want so it picks gnome. If you use a desktop manager then, you can just select "xfce" at the login screen [13:21] Jean1: xubuntu has a lot of gnome dependencies [13:22] jrib what command do i use [13:22] [Q] How do I open port 22 ? [13:22] !ssh > leejongwook [13:22] leejongwook, please see my private message [13:22] plz can any one tell me which package is responsible for wirelless connection like wireless adhoc server [13:22] Jean1: for example, install gdm with: sudo apt-get install gdm . Then when you reboot next you'll be presented with a login screen. Look for the dropdown to select your session, and select xfce before entering your login credentials [13:23] ok jrib thanks, and the best way to get rid of all the gnome stuff? [13:23] hi, how do I make the path editable in Nautilus? [13:23] jrib: Default firewall value == enabled ? [13:24] Hailz all // had 2 odd things.. one just started .. its really cool that it does this but nop idea how this started to happen... I can now fully controll my mouse with my gamepad .. is there a hotkey or something i may have hit by mistake??????? [13:24] angelsl: Ctrl-l [13:24] shcherbak: how do I make that permanent? [13:24] frznlogic: Now its working, thank you very much! [13:24] port 22 is not responding [13:25] angelsl: no clue, maybe setting, maybe gconf-editor. [13:25] Ctrl-l ? nice, but how to make it unvisible ? [13:25] leejongwook: sudo netstat -tulp [13:25] ra2011: np :) [13:25] shcherbak: Not listening [13:25] core Esc [13:26] thanks, bye [13:26] shcherbak: Sorry listening [13:26] ok, thanx [13:26] leejongwook: so, no post open, run ssh and you will have it [13:26] *port* [13:26] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreNautilusLocationBar <- found it. [13:26] leejongwook: firewall has no rules by default. Did you install openssh-server like ubottu's link instructed? [13:26] does anyone learning java programing? [13:27] frznlogic: do you know how can I get Remote Desktop Viewer working for a new session? [13:27] core: ##java can help you with that [13:27] jrib: Yes, and I didn't reboot my system yet. [13:27] SSHD is on. [13:27] leejongwook: can you « ssh localhost » successfully? [13:27] frznlogic: I mean start a session true it... [13:27] jrib: Yes [13:28] chrome menu dosent turn up on nautilus, is it a bug ??? [13:28] leejongwook: where are you trying to ssh from that it fails? If there's some sort of router or firewall in between you need to take care to forward port 22 to the right computer (and not have the firewall block it) [13:28] my boss installed ubuntu desktop on our server instead of ubuntu server [13:28] <_alex__> hi all [13:28] should I delete it ans install ubuntu server instead? [13:29] Shin-LaC: if that's what you want [13:29] Shin-LaC: are you ever gonna need a GUI? if not then yes to save space [13:29] jrib: From Debian->Ubuntu == OK, From Ubuntu->Debian == Failed. [13:29] Shin-LaC: best way. [13:29] has anyone ever have this happen .. the gamepad controlling the mouse pointer???? i have full controll right click ectect [13:29] I guess he prefers having a GUI for administration [13:29] space is not that much of an issue [13:29] sigh [13:29] I use ssh, of course [13:29] but you know [13:30] why is it so hard to access a password-protected samba share that does not have a domain... [13:30] Shin-LaC: then leave ubuntu-desktop :/ [13:30] it seems that the server has a different kernel, though [13:30] Shin-LaC: so install that kernel [13:30] maybe I should install the server and add the gui? [13:30] Shin-LaC: yeah i'd keep it, then just remove the useless stuff under work hours :) hehhehhehe [13:30] how do i mount a hard drive when i don't know the file system of the drive? [13:30] I guess what I'm asking is what I'm missing if I start from ubuntu desktop and add server components piecemeal [13:30] and if there are any security issues [13:30] jrib: No sorry, Ubuntu->Debian == OK, Debian->Ubuntu == Failed [13:31] Shin-LaC: just the server kernel, and you can install that and uninstall -generic if you wish [13:31] Shin-LaC: ubuntu doesn't have a firewall configured by default anyway, so you'd need that either way [13:31] Shin-LaC: Have you checked hardware, ram cpu, etc, all works nice? [13:31] guys, does anyone know QT programming ? [13:31] Shin-LaC: my advice for max security use a bsd, its what they're knwon for [13:31] leejongwook: if « ssh localhost » works on the ubuntu machine, then it's likely a port/forwarding problem or firewall issue on the router. Have you ruled that out? [13:31] hai evry 1 i want sendmail via konsole [13:31] phoenix_: ask in #qt ? [13:31] help [13:32] Zaca12 have you tried just mounting the drive? it usually autodetects [13:32] thanks, guys [13:32] Now how come the last 5 or 6 times i ask anything in here no one responds at all ..

Then run « sudo iptables -L », are there any rules set? [13:36] ehsan_thr: that's what the service provider will help you with :-) [13:37] I must pay for it [13:37] jrib: I didn't touch iptables rules and I already checked that. No rules there.

Anyone know how to fix this? [13:51] Betzi, does it not show? [13:51] no [13:51] just the external hdd and all cd/floppy drives show up [13:51] Betzi, run the following command "ls /dev/sd?" [13:52] if i apt-get install geany 2.0, and later the repos bring in 2.0, will that mess me up, will it skip that update, do i need to worry?

[13:55] where are here?

[13:57] harpal, that would make sense. guess I'll just use other ways to go back until I get a new mouse [13:57] jenka: you're offered the option during install and I believe the default is yes (don't quote me) [13:57] Travis-42: You are sure you clicking only once, but mouse treat it as double click, due to bad switch, [13:57] jenka, it does not. it asks you when you install if you want it [13:58] Travis-42: I have lots of mouse with same problem :) [13:58] I have usbasp programmer that I can use it in windows.but my os is linux and I would like to use it here.i installed avrdude but I got this error >> avrdude: error: could not find USB device "USBasp" with vid=0x16c0 pid=0x5dc << but in lsusb I have this >> Bus 002 Device 003: ID 16c0:05dc VOTI USBasp AVR Programmer << also I made a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/usbasp.rules with this content >> SYSFS{idVendor}=="16c0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="05dc", MODE [13:58] harpal, heh. ok [13:58] jenka: anyway, you should check if you are are or not [13:58] oh, yes, i said yes to that "encrypt home" question, but it wasn't encrypted..

I have been asked to set up a server at a school that will act as fileserver, internet proxy, and a LTSP server. I am hoping to use Edubuntu 10.10 and maybe the clients as Fat clients as they have very reasonable hardware in comparison to the server. Thing is, I dont really know how to get started.

Try to look for more recent and official related documents [14:05] ok i found the ppa [14:06] Is Ubuntu a true GNU/Linux copyleft disto that is 100% free of blobs in the kernel? [14:06] Onryo, no [14:06] !checkinstall | eross If you do need to manually install, have a look at makeinstall, that create's a deb file that you can remove relatively easily [14:06] eross If you do need to manually install, have a look at makeinstall, that create's a deb file that you can remove relatively easily: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

[14:07] is there a way to clean up the "open with" list in nautilus [14:07] so i'm not sure if this is a crazy idea, but is there a way for me to shut ubuntu down but have it open up all my same programs / sessions etc upon reboot? [14:07] Struhevol: sudo depmod -a [14:08] no when i boot up [14:08] i get that [14:08] i cant do that [14:08] it takes me to intramfs command [14:08] i.e. make it behave like it's coming out of sleep, but from a full power down (and booting of other OS) [14:09] Hatchet214 [14:09] netrat so the closet Ill get is gNewSense or Trisquel I take it. Quite like the look and feel of Trisquel. [14:09] ngrstan: you can use gnome-session to start up the same programs, but they will be in an initial state, not the one you left them in. [14:09] i do sudo command in initramfs command [14:10] sipior: so is that my only option? no way to convince it to treat shutdown the same as hibernate/sleep? [14:10] Hatchet214 [14:10] is there a way to clean up the "open with" list in nautilus [14:10] ngrstan: why should there be? a reboot clears memory, by definition. [14:10] hi [14:10] hey guys. I am having a weird problem and for several weeks I've been searching for a solution. after I upgraded to the latest ubuntu version my headphone jacks, the microphone jack, the integrated microphone and the webcam stopped working. can anyone help me out? [14:10] sipior: i want to be able to jump into my other OS without dumping my ubuntu session [14:11] ngrstan: you might consider running the other os as a VM under ubuntu [14:11] ngrstan: or vice-versa of course [14:11] sipior: but short of that, no way? [14:11] hibernate? [14:11] ngrstan: why don't you hibernate? [14:12] Oli``: because what i want to do involves the system rebooting - i have winxp on a separate partition [14:12] ngrstan: yes. hibernate writes the contents of RAM to disk and loads them up on the next boot [14:12] ngrstan, that doesn't make any sense, hibernate instead of reboot [14:12] so if i hibernate ubuntu, boot into winxp, reboot back into ubuntu, my session should persist? [14:13] ngrstan, yes [14:13] badass [14:13] ngrstan: pretty much [14:13] if hibernate works, yes [14:13] netrat: unless he hibernates in winxp as well. [14:13] Any here play oolite with a keyboard? [14:13] sipior: ? that's not true. You can hibernate both systems just fine [14:13] my pitch and roll get slightly off randomly and was wondering if there was a fix [14:13] sipior, he can hibernate in winxp too, that won't matter. the ram is stored on the filsystem, ubuntu and winxp will have seperate filesystems [14:13] Oli``: perhaps i' [14:13] m [14:13] Oli``: perhaps i'm mistaken. [14:14] that would be nice. [14:14] i meant to say the RAM is copied to the filesystem [14:14] netrat the reason I asked was that under System -> Administration I was asked if I wanted to install Nvidia drivers (not open) code. This made me wonder. [14:14] n [14:14] sipior: You are. Ubuntu writes to its swap, XP to its filesystem. There's no crossover. [14:14] i cant get sound from the headphone? [14:14] Oli``: fair enough. [14:15] netrat, seems like I'm still to noob to solve my problem... : / [14:15] Onryo, yes ubuntu will warn you when installing copyright drivers [14:15] Oli``: trouble starts if you modify data in common access (win-data from linux or vice versa) and resume then [14:15] I have a question about cronjobs: Is it enough for me to just throw an executable bash script in /etc/cron.hourly/? Or do I need to notify cron of the new script somehow? [14:16] Betzi, okay no problem. copy the output from fdisk on the sda drive to pastebin and send me the link [14:17] llutz: yes, i imagine that would lead to a great deal of excitement [14:17] Blackjester, same here. did it happen with you also after upgrading to the latest ubuntu version? [14:17] !cron [14:17] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[14:36] sipior, i'd really like to know what the difference between /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib is [14:37] jubei: /usr/lib is reserved for the operating system as installed, whilst /usr/local/lib is intended for local modifications, like yours.

[14:43] shaggy2: just so you know, freenode will still portscan you if you have a cloak [14:43] ronr__: the error comes up when you run vlc, so start there.

[15:59] shazzr: actually I have almost no expirience using network-manager but I suppose that after reloading module you can do something like /etc/init.d/network-manager restart and everything will be fine [16:00] nicofs: find /dir | grep -i filename [16:00] danst_: !?? [16:00] nicofs: find dir/ -name "filename" [16:00] oh [16:00] i've upgraded recently from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and now any file i make has -rw-r--r-- permissions and on ntfs -rw-------. on 10.04 this problem hadn't appeared. what should i do to gain full access to ntfs and set default permissions for new file?

I have an asus with netbook 10.4 and the ether port doesn't work. Every time I try to install the patch, it asks me if I want to continue and I say Yes and it aborts. [16:26] whereis javac -> javac: /usr/bin/javac [16:27] yes, the sound is working ok, the icon is ok, when i touch my volume bar on the notebook i can see the volume bar on ubuntu [16:27] it's just the networking icon [16:27] s -l `whereis javac|cut -d: -f 2` [16:27] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2010-02-11 08:40 /usr/bin/javac -> /etc/alternatives/javac [16:27] michael_: you can add a repository called ppa:tualatrix/ppa, install ubuntu-tweak, and there you can add skype repository with one click [16:28] michael__, Darth_Root: Also, note PPA's are not supported here :) [16:28] ok, serious issues... I did an ubuntu system update and now my system is fucked [16:28] Matt-_-: yeah, but the network icon, is stored in notification area.... did you accidentally remove notification area from the panel?

[16:29] SA-Geoff: atually no, that's what's so concerning, it dumps me to the (initramfs) prompt [16:29] and I didn't even select recovery mode [16:29] i neither had my bluetooth icon, which now i have (thanks to you) [16:29] hmm, [16:29] ok thanks [16:30] I just selected what I think is the previous kernel, but I can't actually be 100% positive if there was even a kernel update cuz I don't remember what kernel version I was on and I didn't check the list of updates to see if there was a kernel update [16:30] abstrakt, are you running stock ubuntu or are you running one that requires a different kernel such as ubuntu studio or perhaps running xen vm? [16:30] lol, i just realized vino now stores it's password in the gnome keyring. it was having problems and i couldnt figure out why the gconf setting for the password was empty [16:30] SA-Geoff: stock [16:30] SA-Geoff: I run Ardour and stuff but I don't have linux-rt [16:30] SA-Geoff: I don't bother with installing "Studio" or "K-Ubuntu" I just install vanilla Ubuntu and then install other packages if I want them [16:31] ok, so on 2.6.35-24-generic [16:31] I'll tell you the error message, one moment [16:31] boolean: are you invoking javac from terminal or via an ide?

[16:35] ok so I'm at the (initramfs) prompt... SA-Geoff what options do I have there? is this a normal bash type shell? [16:36] abstrakt, i still wait for default btrfs-snapshots before each upgrade with integration in grub, so you can boot into the pre-upgrade system...

[16:36] is there a newer alternative config? [16:37] rumpe1: no, I installed from a USB stick [16:37] rumpe1: roughly identical to install from CD, just faster is all [16:37] oh duh, to make vino accept only connections from localhost, set /desktop/gnome/remote_access/network_interface to lo [16:37] rumpe1: this is 10.10 and it has been working for months [16:37] Any way to set a default layout of regions in .screenrc? [16:37] omg, this is so amazingly bad... :( [16:37] in case someone is searching irc logs :P [16:38] abstrakt, hmm... ok. Never happened for me but it seems to happen sometimes. For these problems a separate /home-partition is recommended. [16:38] This program I am trying to install tells me in the installation instructions that I need to have "gcc and make, Header files for pam, Header files for openssl" installed but I don't know how to get those or what some of them are... (this is what I am trying to follow: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556560/ ) [16:38] rumpe1: I highly doubt that would fix anything [16:38] what is the best place to talk about installing ubuntu on an ipod touch? === tommi is now known as tommis [16:38] abstrakt, no... but a reinstall is much simpler :) [16:39] rumpe1: oh, sure cuz of not having to deal with backup [16:39] only problem being I have more to backup than just home... /var/www/vhosts for example [16:39] galamar: AFAIK, Ubuntu won't install on an Ipod. There are other Linux distros that will though [16:39] danst_: unless you have 2 or more core cpu and can afford 100% of one or more of them === Guest26030 is now known as RaNdY [16:40] sacarlson: well I've just figured out that there was unusable compiz --replace process running === RaNdY is now known as Guest54877 [16:40] just killed it with -9 and everything got alright [16:40] danst_: good to know [16:40] okay im fine with another distro and i was just thinking ubuntu bcus of .deb packages installed by cydia [16:40] I have been trying to get my ethernet port working using instruction found on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9449490 http://paste.ubuntu.com/556556/ I have been working on this problem for a couple of days, but I just don't have the expertise to work it out.

It has the cryptic name "Ipod Linux" I believe [16:41] hello where i can get the XForms librarys? [16:41] alex: You need to use GParted from a Live CD [16:42] ? [16:42] Bolo, in the terminal : sudo lshw -C network ..we need to know the wifi chip make and model [16:42] What's Gparted? [16:42] !gparted | alex [16:42] !info gparted | alex [16:42] alex: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [16:42] alex: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.6.2-1ubuntu1.1 (maverick), package size 463 kB, installed size 1380 kB [16:42] The wifi is working fine [16:42] technikfreak: libforms2 it seems. [16:43] Wait so where do I get it? [16:43] thxd you are very cool ubuntu guru undecim [16:43] alex: Do you have an Ubuntu CD? [16:43] No. [16:43] Bolo, oh sorry , usally it's the ethernet that works fine and not the wifi [16:43] alex: You need an Ubunut CD (or another CD with GParted) [16:44] I did a windows installation, because the download was taking too long. [16:44] and with the terminal programs the ipod doesnt have build programs needed to install the debs i want. so can i build them over ssh? [16:44] libforms2 not avialable via apt-get [16:44] i try the libforms1 [16:44] Bolo, run sudo ifconfig [16:44] http://paste.ubuntu.com/556565/ [16:45] technikfreak: Maybe I have that from a non-default ppa or repo... [16:45] SA-Geoff: ok well my previous nix still boots... I've been running 10.10 for a month or two now [16:45] and I still have my old 10.04 partition and that boots fine [16:45] mh the code that i would like to compile is from 1998 [16:45] weird [16:45] technikfreak: No, it's in universe.... [16:46] SA-Geoff: so I'm in 10.04 and I have access to the 10.10 partition, so how should I go about diagnosing this? [16:46] abstrakt, are you using ext4? [16:46] technikfreak: make sure you typed it right [16:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/556566/ [16:46] guys why skype not authenticated [16:46] SA-Geoff: hrm, not absolutely sure [16:46] on ubunto 10.10 [16:46] michael__: What do you mean? [16:46] SA-Geoff: actually don't think so, but it's possible... I'm using whatever the default was for 10.10 [16:46] undecim, in ubuntu tweak [16:46] abstrakt, i'd back up your files onto the 10.04 and reinstall. something horrible has happened on that system [16:46] and i try to download it from software package [16:47] Bolo, eth0=dhcp , then sudo dhclient eth0 [16:47] abstrakt, the time it would take to recover it will be much longer than backing up and reinstalling [16:47] Hey, can I make my 'capslock' key function like left click? [16:47] Bolo | you know that you MAC adr. is unique? [16:47] sunnuva fuc|< [16:47] michael__: It's probably referring to the lack of a signing key. [16:47] undecim, what do you mean? [16:48] SA-Geoff: tripple sunnuva... either amount of time is time I don't have :( [16:48] michael__: Ubuntu's package manager uses cryptographic keys to "sign" packages. If you have a public key, you can make sure a package is who it says it's from. [16:48] michael__: You're adding the Skype repository via Ubuntu Tweak? [16:49] wow... ok so I'm pretty much absolutely screwed [16:49] yah [16:49] but i can't install it [16:49] michael__: Or are you doing the actual install right now? [16:49] I can't even mount my 10.10 partition from within 10.04 [16:49] Whenever I run Firefox and then Chrome or other browsers ... I have problems with one or the other as if they interfere with each other ... anyone else have this problem ?? [16:49] undecim, how to do it? [16:50] Anyone know how to remap keys on the keyboard, so that my Capslock works like left-clicking [16:50] Hi, how do I fix so vsftpd and encrypted home folders will work together?! :) [16:50] I knew it was something like that http://paste.ubuntu.com/556569/ [16:50] But don't know how to fix it [16:51] "error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so" [16:51] Hi. Is there a way to add my user to the xauth list for another user? [16:51] any idea what that is or how to fix it? [16:51] !who | Bolo [16:51] Bolo: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:51] jenka: Haven't worked with vsftpd much, but is there a PAM file for it? [16:51] undecim: yes [16:52] michael__: Hmm... I Can't even seem to get the repos... [16:52] michael__: I think maybe skype doesn't have repos for 64-bit [16:52] * Garzooka starts humming the a team [16:52] ah ok [16:52] jenka: K, gimme a minute, I'll install it and take a look at it myself. [16:52] undecim, thanks [16:52] undecim: Ok :) [16:52] Bolo, sudo /etc/inti.d/networking restart [16:53] michael_ | skype runs und 64 bit, too [16:53] michael__: You might be able to find the .deb files on Skypes website and download it directly [16:53] Sorry all [16:53] lust run rm -a and all your problems will be gone [16:53] hi folks, can anybody explain to be why "uic -impl my_header.h" fails on ubuntu? the man page lists -impl as a valid command, but it doesn't work in practice [16:53] nd Bolo , you can't run wifi and ethernet at the same time , I have to say that [16:54] undecim, yeah im downloading it right now [16:54] undecim | can you help me? [16:54] jenka: It looks to me like it should unlock the directory just like a login [16:54] okletsgo: What's up? [16:55] you can say me what's wrong there? http://paste.ubuntu.com/556562/ [16:55] BluesKaj yes I know but only have one cable - I have to disconnect one to check the other answer to last sudo: /etc/inti.d/networking: command not found [16:55] hey guys, how do i make sure that poptop is listening on port 1723? [16:56] i've installed it and set it up according to simple set ups added the iptable exception but still can't connect to it [16:56] any help is appreciated [16:56] undecim: hmm ok, Because I can login with one of my user that ive created after the install but not the one I created under installation. [16:57] Bolo, the command is: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [16:57] Can someone explain briefly how export works? I need to run something which requires a display. X is installed, but :0 is in use by an auto-logged in user running something on the screen so :0 isn't available. CAn I create my own display and use it? [16:57] undecim: When i try to connect I gets this: 331 Please specify the password. then PASS ***.. And then its trying to reconnect.. [16:57] hi, [16:57] okletsgo: Sorry... Can you translate to English the last words of line 7? [16:58] jenka: So Users with encrypted home dirs can't login? [16:58] I have an ATI 200M which is not supported by the fglrx drivers, I was considering installing XUBUNTU 8.10 because I heard it has the version of Xorg that is supported [16:58] has anyone done this or know if it is possible to get the ATI fglrx drivers to work if I install Ubuntu 8.10 ? [16:59] undecim: Dosnt seems so :/ [16:59] undecim | data or directory not aviable [16:59] Anom_, yes , Iirc the x200m is supported up to 9,04 with fglrx drivers [16:59] Anom_: why would you install 8.10? [16:59] undecim | ..not found [16:59] wow .. what a mess [16:59] which default font for terminal in last ubuntus? [17:00] FoolsRun: try Xnest or else from console "startx -- :1" or "xinit /path/to/wm/or/maybe/executable -- :1" [17:00] Monospace ? [17:00] BluesKaj * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. Should I try it again now? [17:00] VCoolio: thanks, I'll try that! [17:00] okletsgo: Sounds like you're missing some files in that source directory. [17:00] hi all. iwconfig question. I want to reduce the amount of power that my wireless device is using. I know iwconfig has a 'power saving' option but the man pages don't explain what the value you give that option does. Does anyone know? [17:00] Bolo, yes [17:00] undecim | can you see what files are missing? [17:00] jenka: Does vsftpd store files in the users home directory that it depends on for connection? [17:00] FoolsRun: you can then switch by ctrl+alt+f7/8 [17:01] okletsgo: Apparantly some translation files. [17:01] Blaize, ok so Ubuntu 9.04 works !? [17:01] xil, the power used by wifi is insignificant , reducing it won't make you "greener" :) [17:01] which default font for terminal in last ubuntu? Monospace?? [17:01] What name of this font? [17:01] er BluesKaj 9.04 works as well ? [17:01] Anom_, idk, does it? [17:01] jenka: Sorry, no experience with vsftpd... I'm great with encrypted home dirs though :P [17:01] Blaize, sorry [17:01] undecim | or where i can get those missing files? [17:01] okletsgo: I have no idea [17:01] KM0201, well I guess go with 9.04 [17:02] itaylor57: the whole setup with thew java installation is a mess ... all the bins point to /etc/alternatives/jav* who in turn point to different verions of java ( sun 5 sun6 openjdk ... ) [17:02] KM0201, because I just can't get these fglrx drivers to work, [17:02] but do I need them ? [17:02] Anom_: why would you go w/ 9.04? it's EOL also [17:02] undecim: hmm dont think so. But I can login to that account if I logged in via ssh first :S [17:02] Anom_, nps :) [17:02] Anom_: i guess my question is, why don't you go w/ 10.04 or 10.10? [17:02] where i can find on which place ubunut is installed files ? [17:02] jenka: Then in that case, it is definitely looking for a file in the home dir [17:02] one prob I've had KM0201 is that google earth is not working with Ubuntu 10.04 and ATI drivers [17:02] someone know how i can install something like QColorDialog ? [17:02] jenka: I have no idea what it would be though [17:02] undecim: ok :S [17:03] KM0201, ATI 200M radeon [17:03] jenka: I'll consult the man pages though [17:03] which default font for terminal in last ubuntu? HELLOOOOOO?!!! [17:03] Anom_, my memory isn't the greatest , but I think so...I used the x200m for a while til I bought an nvidia pci [17:03] which default font for terminal in last ubuntu? HELLOOOOOO?!!! [17:03] Anom_: so did you try 10.10? [17:03] which default font for terminal in last ubuntu? HELLOOOOOO?!!! [17:03] woozly: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:03] KM0201, laptop ... [17:03] Anom_: what does using 10.10, have to do w/ it being a laptop? [17:03] blueskaj: I see, haha. Well thanks, guess I won't change it then, not worth the effort [17:03] okletsgo: isn't that part of Qt? [17:04] Anom_: and are you sure the problem is related to your graphics chipset, why google earth isn't running? [17:04] KM0201, well the ATI drivers work, but fglrx doesnt, and there is no configuration for the driver for that card (which i can't change because its in a laptop) [17:04] undecim: ok, but maybe it looks for .ecryptfs ?? [17:04] maybe QT4 is needed for Open Hantek for compile http://paste.ubuntu.com/556562/ [17:04] jenka: What do you mean? === TheNull_ is now known as TheNull [17:04] okletsgo: Perhaps [17:04] gordonjcp | you have any ideas ? === NG_ is now known as ng_ [17:05] BluesKaj - didn't work I restarted and still didn't work [17:05] okletsgo: Try isntalling libqt4-dev [17:05] KM0201, yeah well it was strange because I had google earth working, and it was showing lines all over the screen. But then I installed / tried adding edgers for that Gallium stuff, and now google earth does not work, and glxgears does not work either. [17:05] undecim: to get to the files thats decrypt the folder ? :S Dosnt really know im kinda new to ftp server and ubuntu :) [17:05] Should I check my MAC address? [17:05] BluesKaj should I check my mac address [17:05] jenka: Well, ecryptfs stores encrypted files at /home/.ecryptfs/user/.Private [17:05] KM0201, I was just asking about installing ubuntu 8.04 because someone told me that is the only way to get the binary drivers (fglrx) to work for that card. [17:05] Anom_: i have no iea what gallium is... but it sounds like it wonked up something. [17:06] jenka: When a user logs in, a PAM module mounts ecrypfs to /home/user/ [17:06] KM0201, but if you insist that the drivers that are open source and working for Ubuntu 9.04 / 9.10, then I will keep i installed... [17:06] can anyone tell me what kind of problem i have here? Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' [17:06] as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. [17:06] Anom_: i dunno.. that seems like trying to change your oil by buying a ew car [17:06] KM0201, yeah I was told to do a pps purge to fix it. [17:06] jenka: So vsftpd is trying to get a file from the home directory before going through PAM authentication [17:06] jenka: I just can't figure out what that file is [17:06] KM0201, (to undo whatever adding it to the sources, and upgrading does). [17:07] undecim: ok [17:07] Anom_: you uninstalled the PPA, did you uninstall and purge the program? [17:07] KM0201, I am probably going to reinstall and forget that edgers / gallium stuff. [17:08] Anom_: what is gallium anyway? [17:08] anyone free and could help me with virtualbox? [17:08] mantas_Newbie | watch this http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/IRC [17:08] can anyone help me with an auto update problem? (wireless not working after update) [17:08] jenka: Though it seems odd to me that it would fail on an otherwise empty home dir... [17:08] KM0201, not sure its a part of edgers, it does something to try and improve the drivers (open source ati drivers). [17:08] Anom_: well it sure improved them [17:08] lol [17:09] Any1 know a visualizer u can run with spotify fullscreen? [17:09] yeah [17:09] jenka: or.... [17:09] KM0201, I guess people are sick of not having good support for this graphics card, considering it is in practically every 3-4 year old laptop that was on the market. [17:09] Still looking for help getting my ethernet port working A [17:09] Anom_: i would probably follow your gut, and clean install 10.04 or 10.10, before i clean installed 8.04 or 8.10.. which just seems ridiculous to me [17:09] jenka: Can you tell me the permissions on one of the users locked home directories? [17:09] TROGDOR! [17:10] KM0201, people are switching them from Windows to Linux but only to find 3d hardly works. [17:10] hi [17:10] jenka: I.e. when the user is logged in nowhere [17:10] how i can install smartvoip in ubuntu 10 [17:10] Anom_: yeah, i don't use/care for 3D.. so i guess i just don't care. [17:10] undecim: how to check or what you mean? [17:10] KM0201, yeah what would it be used for anyway ? [17:10] okletsgo: any ideas about what? [17:10] KM0201, games ? [17:11] Anom_: to show off to people, is the only thing i can imagine... it got pretty old to me after about 10min [17:11] Anom_: yeah, i guess some games need good 3D support, but only game i play is pokerstars via wine, and it certainly doesn't need 3D [17:11] jenka: Run "stat /home/user" when that user is not logged in and has an encrypted home dir. [17:11] KM0201, Im sure as time goes on support will get better, or do you think it will get worse eventually until that computer doesnt even display anything anymore.. ? [17:11] jenka: Or better yet: "stat /home/user | grep Access" [17:12] KM0201: graphics acceleration is required for pretty much any GUI to not totally suck [17:12] Hey all, I hope a quick question. I have a 10.10 server running with the 3 clients using the graphic ssh. We are able to access the folders well enough. But it appears as though the premissions are being set by the remote user. Instead of the user on the server. IE not inhearting premissions. If user1:remote1 creates a folder and a file it is automaticly set to read only by the others. Instead of being read/write by everyone in the group on the server. Any i [17:12] jenka: I don't have a way of checking the default of this myself without logging out :P [17:12] Anom_: that seems unlikely, i would think the generic VGA device will always support the device [17:12] gordonjcp: i guess thats a matter of opinion, i tend to disagree [17:12] Anom_, your ATI 200M is more than 4 years old, over 7 years. sorry for no 3d support [17:12] undecim or gordonjcp | http://paste.ubuntu.com/556577/ i'ts going on :) [17:12] is there any reason to install ubuntu 64bit given that I have 4Gb of memory and ubuntu only utilizes 2.43GB in 32bit? [17:12] Anom_: You will always be able to use Vesa drivers [17:12] KM0201: you don't write widget toolkits, presumably [17:12] Oer, well the laptop is perfect shape though ?!? [17:12] gordonjcp: i'm guessing a majority of people don't... [17:13] Anom_: The reason older cards aren't supported is because ATI dropped support for them so people would buy more cards [17:13] KM0201: you prefer each pixel to be hand-drawn by the CPU? [17:13] KM0201: 'cos, it's considerably quicker if you can dump all that nonsense onto the GPU [17:13] bearly230: you need to set the sgid-flag on the directories [17:13] Anom_: So now it's up to people who know nothing about the cards internal workings to develop open source drivers for them [17:13] gordonjcp: CPUs don't have hands. (Sorry, couldn't resist.) [17:13] what do i need now? [17:13] usr13: none that you've seen ;-) [17:13] undecim: I gets: Access: (0500/dr-x------) Uid: ( 1000/ jens) Gid: ( 1000/ jens) Access: 2010-12-26 15:03:32.900339986 +0100 [17:13] If I run the command from another user [17:14] undecim: that's the crux of the issue... Linux isn't the problem, ATI is the problem... but people blame linux, because it works fine in Windows (where ATI still supports it) [17:14] llutz: I'm still a novice at ubuntu. How do I set it via term? [17:14] well thanks guys [17:14] gordonjcp: touche [17:14] jenka: Excellent [17:14] hey guise I've got an Lunix DOS floppy and my EXE isn't compiling... i think the calvin cycle might be broken. how can I clear the cash? [17:14] How can I open git [17:15] bearly230: make sure the dir is owned by a group all your users are member of and change "sudo chmod g+s /path/to/dir" [17:15] jenka: Alright, while the user is not logged in run "sudo chmod 700 /home/jens" and see if that fixes it. [17:15] so gordonjcp, KM0201 , usr13, should I install Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 10.04, or a different Linux distro alltogether ? [17:15] JustinChromeBuil: download and install it [17:15] avo: you can give any excess cash to me, I'll ensure it is disposed of safely [17:15] i did [17:15] bearly230: that will make all created files being owned by that group too [17:15] Anom_: depends what you want to do [17:15] i cant find git on my system [17:15] gordonjcp: why don't you have a seat over there? [17:15] jenka: If that doesn't, then try "sudo chmod 755 /home/jens" [17:15] JustinChromeBuil: git-core ? [17:15] gordonjcp, have the 3d working [17:15] yes [17:15] undecim: ok :) [17:15] Anom_: 10.04 [17:15] Anom_: which graphics card have you got? [17:16] Anom_: well i'll tell you now.. i woudln't install 8.04 no more than i'd tell a windows user to install windows 95 [17:16] gordonjcp, ati radeon 200M [17:16] jenka: But it has to be while the user's home directory is locked, otherwise it will just be setting the mode on /home/.ecryptfs/jens/.Private === avo is now known as richie_stalls [17:16] KM0201, thanks [17:16] Im gonna check some other distros I think [17:16] Anom_: What are you looking for? [17:17] hola [17:17] can i have the file patch to git please!!!! [17:17] path* [17:17] Anom_: reasonably recent, then [17:17] Anom_: I thought ATI were supposed to be well supported? [17:17] has anyone noticed ubuntu connecting to a wireless network when it comes out of sleep (but it was disconnected when it went to sleep)? [17:17] gordonjcp: not all of them. [17:17] Anom_: there's not really any point in swapping distros; all distros are basically the same [17:17] JustinChromeBuil: have you tried 'whereis git-core' ? [17:18] no [17:18] JustinChromeBuil: mine is in /usr/bin/git [17:18] JustinChromeBuil: "which git" [17:18] gordonjcp: now thats a ridiculous statement [17:18] JustinChromeBuil: whereis and which commands will tell you where git is. [17:18] core [17:18] Thanks ) [17:18] is it possible to find MAC of another host by a host in a same local network [17:18] !afp [17:18] no [17:18] JustinChromeBuil: the package you want to install for git is git-core [17:18] Anom_: We all have basically the same applications, same kernel etc, it's just that Ubuntu is user friendly, or a bit more user friendly than others in varing degrees depending on which ones you compare to. [17:18] gordonjcp, yeah its working pretty well, but certain things are not (google earth). Videos play good [17:19] KM0201: what's ridiculous about it? [17:19] i got gitcore [17:19] sidd_mak: try arp [17:19] Anom_: sounds like you may not have 3D acceleration enabled, in which case you want to check the wiki for instructions [17:19] llutz : arp [17:19] gordonjcp: because not all distros are about the same [17:19] JustinChromeBuil: whereis git-core outputs: git-core: /usr/lib/git-core /usr/lib64/git-core /usr/share/git-core [17:19] KM0201: yes, they are [17:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/556577/ can it be that fftw has something to do with that? what should i install to solve this problem? [17:19] llutz : man page confusing [17:20] gordonjcp: some distros put "restricted drivers" in the kernel, so you don't have to compile drivers.. broadcom is a perfect example of this, they don't work out of the box w/ Ubuntu, but do w/ quite a few other distros [17:20] brb [17:20] KM0201: that's a trivial detail [17:20] Anom_: Differences are in package management and in the set of applications installed by defualt on a new install. [17:20] gordonjcp: i have no idea where you got that idea, but you mjight want to spread your wings a little [17:20] gordonjcp: lol, if broadcom was his problemm, it would not be trivial [17:20] jesus, don't be so dense [17:21] /help [17:21] How to view irssi docs from irssi?

[17:22] okletsgo: that suggests that you are missing the libusb headers, try installing libusb-dev or something similar [17:22] okletsgo: What gordonjcp said :P [17:22] gordonjcp, ohh k [17:22] how do i turn icons on the desktop off? [17:22] gordonjcp, so there is 3d options for the open source driver.. [17:23] Anom_: possibly, check the wiki - I only use NVidia if I can possibly help it ;-) [17:23] okletsgo: what are you trying to do? [17:23] Anom_: i thought you said yesterday you tried the open source driver? [17:23] i bought a laptop with ATI graphics. it happened once and will never happen again [17:23] Anom_: Speaking from experience, (as a Linux user); It is best to use hardware that is well supported. [17:24] kevin123: indeed [17:24] kevin123: yup... [17:24] hi all. How do I install wine n Hardy. [17:24] jimlee: See winehq.org [17:24] Anom_: I had an oldish ATI card that I wanted to use with hardware acceleration and TV out; not going to happen. ATI dropped support for the card because it was more than two years old, and the open-source drivers don't work [17:24] jimlee: sudo apt-get install wine [17:25] you can have acceleration, *or* you can have TV-out, but not both [17:25] or at least you could at the time [17:25] jimlee: There are instructions there on installing the latest version, which usually works better than the default Ubuntu version [17:25] Thanks KM0201 [17:25] so I gave the card to a friend of mine who is into OO-scale marine modelling, in case he wanted to moor a very small boat [17:25] and I spend £30 on a shiny new NVidia card [17:26] gordonjcp | i am trying to install my DOS-2090 Scope under Ubuntu10.10 . i have to be possible with OpenHantek and this i'm trying to install at the moment :) http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_use_the_Hantek_DSO-2100_USB_oscilloscope_in_Linux this is the only usable tutorial if found on google.

[18:10] someone else had your problem and posted on the forums :D [18:10] JustinChromeBuil: to build the depot_tools, you need to do this in a terminal 'git svn clone svn://svn.chromium.org/chrome -T trunk/tools/depot_tools' then follow step two. [18:10] rubbs: oh ok thank you [18:10] JustinChromeBuil: np [18:11] rubbs: it said did you mean one of these fsck or show [18:11] II have set up a netbook for me and another user, both encrypted homes, but I accidentally (ok I didnt know it would futz it up) enabled auto login on one user and now it tries to auto login but because its encrypted it NEEDS to get a pass but it doesnt ask for one so I fail to get to a desktop session.. How can I disable the auto login from a console? [18:12] no ideas or a good tutorial link? [18:12] I know that my monitor supports 1280x1024, but it's not appearing in the monitors panel. how can I force the display? [18:12] djslurp: ok, great. Thanks. I tried a search of the net but hadn't found anything useful. This isn't what you would call "easily discoverable". :-) [18:12] If I log out, you know it didn't work. I should have the button configured to just lock the screen. [18:12] I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and when I switch to a different desktop and return, sometimes my Miro window goes white with nothing displayed within it. Any fix for this? [18:13] * Plugh reaches for the sleep button on the keyboard... [18:13] JustinChromeBuil: k. one sec. [18:13] rubbs: it said did you mean one of these fsck or show [18:13] rubbs: oh ok [18:13] haha [18:13] Great. Pushed the button and it didn't lock the screen but it didn't put the machine to sleep either which is the important thing. [18:13] can someone tell me how I stop a window being dragged when i alt-click on it? [18:13] djslurp: Thanks! [18:14] no problem [18:14] mongy, hmm, I did that once, ill try to find a link [18:14] mongy: it should be something in /etc/gdm/custom.conf === talmai is now known as talmai_ [18:14] JustinChromeBuil: try installing everything for git with : sudo apt-get -y install git-all Then try that command again. [18:14] ok [18:14] :q [18:14] ok [18:16] I just put reconfigured keyboard shortcuts to make the button lock my screen and its working now. Much more useful to me than making the machine go to sleep by mistake. [18:17] i am trying to setup my proftpd default dirs ... can somebody help me ? [18:17] [13:17] anyone know how i get information on the upgrades available to an ubuntu server? i just have a list of packages now, but i want to know why they're being updated. [18:17] I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and when I switch to a different desktop and return, sometimes my Miro window goes white with nothing displayed within it. Any fix for this? [18:18] Morbus: Install apt-listchanges, although that will only give you the change lists after the packages have been downloaded. [18:18] Pici: hrm. is there an update stream online i could look at or something? [18:19] trijntje, quentusrex I Cant see anything like that [18:19] saliak yes http://paste.ubuntu.com/556599/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/556585/ [18:19] Morbus: Not that I know of, but there may be something. [18:20] Morbus: Note, that apt-listchanges will prompt you if you still want to install your updates after the package downloads are complete. It sits in the middle of the apt-get upgrade process. [18:20] Pici: oh, that's handy. [18:20] Morbus, you can try aptitude -s update [18:20] -s simulates without doing anything [18:21] saliak the wifi is working fine - but I think I have a problem with a driver its an ASUS 1001pxd-mu17 [18:21] rubbs: it cant find the pacage [18:21] JustinChromeBuil: can you paste the output of what it said? [18:22] trijntje, quentusrex ok very odd, I can now see that file......I swear it was not there 2 mins ago... [18:22] ok [18:23] I got some computers which do not have an internet connection.

[18:24] nvm i worked it out [18:24] mongy, weird, maybe wrong command [18:25] rbil: Not sure but you should do distro upgrade to 10.04 [18:26] usr13: heard from friends that 10.04 breaks things that we rely on. so not rushing to upgade [18:26] http://pastebin.com/tMmBUyUj [18:26] JustinChromeBuil: do you know how to check to see if your universe repo is enabled?

[18:28] usr13: can't remember off hand. but too serious to consider upgrading now [18:28] rbil 10.04 is just fine, upgrade can break things, but not allways [18:28] JustinChromeBuil: yes. make sure to enable the Universe repository [18:28] rbil: If you can not remember, I suggest to you that it is time to upgrade. [18:28] rubbs: ok [18:29] Oer: would 10.04 support ATI 7200 if 9.10 doesn't? [18:29] hey I need help with NSF [18:29] trijntje, nah I tab completed to see and I looked directly, it was not there.... very odd. [18:29] hello [18:30] when I try to mount on a remote computer I get: [18:30] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on komodo:/jim, [18:30] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [18:30] I require assistance with trying to dual boot windows 7 and Ubuntu. [18:30] whats the problem Jimmy__ [18:31] I have been trying to dual boot it for the past two days, but I simply can't figure out what I am doing wrong. [18:31] rbil ati 7200 is supported [18:31] The problem is that [18:31] I'm used to a more thorough xorg file then what I'm getting now with 9.10. Can I still edit that file? [18:31] rbil: isn't the ATI 7200 a little over ten years old now? [18:31] Oer: where would I get the drivers to allow me to have special effects? [18:31] Whenever I go to into Ubuntu installation, it never detects my windows 7 partition, it tells me to use the entire disk. [18:32] rbil: 10.04 will do as good a job if not better of running the ATI 7200. I see a thread that is 4 months old, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1565562 and is probably not relevant any more.

[18:32] Yes, 10.10 === Out_Cold is now known as Guest53971 [18:32] hello [18:33] rbil: Speaking from experience, (as a Linux user); It is best to use hardware that is well supported. [18:33] I tried formatting the partition to extend, ntfs, fat32, etc..., but still no luck. [18:33] I have dual monitor setup. I have them on separate screens (which is what I want). Im trying to learn how to open a program on the second screen (screen:1). [18:33] Jimmy__: when you install do you leave free space for the other os you plan to install? also doing win7 then ubuntu is the recommended order of operations [18:34] I already have windows 7 installed === Guest53971 is now known as Out_Cold_ [18:34] hey [18:34] Ok, does it take the entire disk? [18:34] so....I have ubuntu 10.10....and my suspend used to work (on a laptop) but now it doesn't.... [18:35] Jimmy__: so you have windows installed, and ubuntu doesn't see your hard drive? [18:35] I think it might have something to do with laptop-mode-tools, I found info on the net about that [18:35] so I uninstalled laptop-mode-tools, but I still can't suspend [18:35] anyone know ? [18:35] I have 250 GB, 200GB is used for windows7, and the rest is another partition where i want to install Ubuntu. [18:35] rbil: As to your original question; Probably no one here is still using 9.10 and so getting someone with experience on your particular goal is more than likely not gonna happen. Your best bet is to upgrade. [18:35] Yes, Ubuntu does noe see that I have already have installed Windows 7 on part of the disk. [18:35] Jimmy__: ok?.. so why not install ubuntu there? [18:35] rubbs: Note: In Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) and later, the main, universe, restricted and multiverse repositories are enabled by default. :/ [18:36] Jimmy__: or was that your question, how to do that? [18:36] That is what I am trying to do, but when i go into the installation, it tells me to use the entire HDD. [18:36] JustinChromeBuil: do a 'sudo apt-get update' then try installing the git-all again. [18:36] I have dual monitor setup. I have them on separate screens (which is what I want). Im trying to learn how to open a program on the second screen (screen:1). [18:36] Jimmy__: ok.. can i PM you? [18:37] sure. [18:37] Jimmy__, do advanced install [18:37] when I press the power button "Failed to suspend, Failure was reported as: Cannot Suspend", anyone know how to fix it? [18:37] usr13: unfortunately those links were not helpful === Dotted is now known as Dotoff [18:38] hi, what's the equivalent of YAST on Ubuntu ? [18:38] leachim6, did you set your power button to suspend instead of shut down? [18:38] leachim6: Yes, don't push the power button. (Sorry, couldn't reist.)

[18:41] leachim6, can you write a script to execute that command when the power button is pressed? i know it's a round about solution but it would work [18:41] JustinChromeBuil: I'm confused then. can you show me what it said?

If you have more questions, ask the channel. someone else will help pick up the slack :) [18:47] leachim6, did you try? [18:47] AutoHotKey is a macro program [18:47] sinisterstuf, yes.

[19:08] !downgrade [19:08] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [19:08] Pudabudigada, if it is X then I cannot use it. [19:08] tdn It was startup manager, It broke GRUB and I had to reinstall it, It did make the changes I wanted though. [19:09] tdn You want a cli program? [19:09] tdn: grub is configured by the values in /etc/defaults/grub and /etc/grub.d [19:09] erUSUL, for some reason the Vista menu item no longer boots Vista.

[19:12] The trackpad on my Acer is pretty good, even does multi-touch [19:12] tdn, I'm no guru, there may be something.

[19:13] Anyway [19:13] tdn there you might be able to determine if it is in fact a grub issue [19:13] hey people [19:13] acicula, the problem is that my mum has a Lenovo workstation with dualboot between Vista and Ubuntu. It used to work just fine. But then suddenly she tells me that she cannot boot Vista. When she selects Vista in GRUB it boots IBM Rescue System instead. (a separate partition) [19:13] I was just about to do an apt-get upgrade, and I got this: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! xserver-common xserver-xorg-core [19:13] acicula: because the keyboard doesn't work [19:14] could anyone help me udnerstand why? [19:14] I have to plug in another one to write this [19:14] the mouse works off the same wireless dongle but only mouse works not keyboard [19:14] I figure i'm jus screwed [19:14] Hi room - When I start Rhythmbox 0.12.8 it always stays minimised and I have to click on the panel to open it up. Any idea ? I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I've checked the preferences - but not seeing the option [19:15] tdn: hmmm and what if you edit the line at boot to explicitly boot the proper partition? [19:15] tdn grub tends to fail os detection when windows is not cleanly shutdown and right after that grub update is ran [19:15] acicula, I haven't tried. I live ~500 miles away from her, so I have only access via SSH. [19:15] right [19:15] acicula, hmm.. Really. === root is now known as Guest36440 [19:16] acicula, So if she had a problem shutting down Vista and then after that booted Ubuntu, installed updates and then rebooted, that could be the problem? [19:16] acicula, is there any way to fix this? [19:16] tdn: that be my first guess yes [19:16] acicula, wow, hadn't thought of that. [19:16] tdn: boot vista, shutdown cleanly, boot ubuntu and run the grub update [19:16] could anyone help me out here? [19:17] acicula, but I cannot boot Vista ATM. [19:17] would greatly appreciate it. [19:17] is there software for like taking notes via a touchscreen notebook [19:17] gamla_kossan, do you use PPA sources? [19:17] whats the formal name for these notebooks? [19:17] tdn: right. im looking if you van override the bootsequence [19:17] *can [19:17] moses, tablets I guess. [19:17] yeah there you go [19:17] moses, mm I believe so I used one a while back hold on [19:18] i need good tablet software [19:18] moses, not sure what you can use though. [19:18] tdn: no, I don't think so [19:18] ok [19:18] i need like a really decked out program [19:18] gamla_kossan, pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* [19:18] tdn: from what i can gather the grub file is /boot/grub/grub.cfg [19:18] tdn: k [19:19] moses, take a look here for some of the ones available and check out any screenshots you can fine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_notetaking_software [19:19] hi there! I've had some problem with my GUI and some Nvidia drivers... could anyone help me? (I'm quite newbie) [19:19] tdn: its normally autogenerated from the scripts, you should be able to check there if and how the configuration is currently set [19:19] acicula, http://paste.adora.dk/P1919.txt [19:19] acicula, that is grub.cfg [19:19] so if the keyboard just doesn't work but the mouse doesn, then I'm just screwed? [19:19] tdn: http://fpaste.org/ubeq/ [19:19] moses, although not strickly for note taking .. a really "decked out" application would be lyx [19:19] acicula, yeah, I search for vista and get hd(0,1) [19:19] Pudabudigada: Gottit, so flash is ... well, bad.. by the way, I guess you meant to say consolation [19:19] moses, however lyx is at minmal 3 gigs install [19:20] tdn: is that correct? [19:20] Necavit, the nvidia gui x server settings ? [19:20] acicula, I amnot sure. Is that sda1? [19:20] Xjournal is cool [19:20] I think Vista is on sda2. [19:20] xournal [19:20] acicula, did you see my pastebin with fdisk -l? [19:20] tdn: eh sda2 i think, you can try mounting the disk [19:20] moses, xournal is the one I used with my wacom tablet [19:20] did you like it? [19:20] hi! ... eeerh. no, i don't think so [19:20] tdn: and this one: http://fpaste.org/fhvh/ [19:21] tdn: yeah but i already closed it [19:21] it's just i installed them and reboot [19:21] acicula, ok. I think Vista is on sda2. [19:21] then there was no more gui [19:21] acicula, and it probably boots sda1 now. [19:21] tdn no it numbers starting from 0 [19:21] so hd0,0 is sda1, hd0,1 is sda2 , etc [19:21] so that means grub is booting vista correctly [19:21] or as best i can tell [19:21] acicula, acicula it is just that the menu item text says sda1 [19:22] Necavit, did you install the recommended driver in the nvidia gui ? [19:22] moses, sudo apt-get install xournal not xjournal [19:22] tdn: heu [19:22] menuentry "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" { [19:22] hi, I have a question regarding mouting my usb drive (weird that this channel is also talking about sda1, sda2 - co-incidence? :S) [19:22] acicula, but then later: set root='(hd0,1)' [19:22] tdn: ah, yeah thats not right then [19:22] it is mounted as HP v165w [19:22] BluesKaj: yep. I installed the one Ubuntu told me (in the installation assistant) [19:22] acicula, http://paste.adora.dk/P1920.txt this is the relevant section of grub.cfg [19:23] i'm having trouble with my wifi card, how can i make sure i have the driver installed? [19:23] I need to #1 change that to just /media/hp/ and #2 mount with 755 permissions [19:23] it is currently mounted [19:23] gamla_kossan, you run karmic? [19:23] ok Necavit , what seems to be the problem then ? [19:23] tdn: no lucid actually [19:24] how do i use repo [19:24] gamla_kossan, there is something wrong. You have buth karmic and lucid sources. [19:24] tdn: well, I did do do-release-upgrade many months ago from karmic [19:24] !repository | JustinChromeBuil [19:24] JustinChromeBuil: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [19:24] tdn: yeah it has something confused then, sda1 is hd0,0. does sda2 or hd0,0 appear anywhere? [19:24] BluesKaj: don't really know... it told me to restart the system. Now ubuntu has no GUI =S [19:24] moses, there is another one neame ejourn older application with ecryption [19:25] acicula, there is this: menuentry "Windows Recovery Environment (loader) (on /dev/sda2)" { [19:25] acicula, but it says: set root='(hd0,2)' [19:25] Necavit, nvidia gui or no login? [19:25] acicula, something looks off by one if hd0,0 is actually sda1? [19:26] Question again: how do I unmount /dev/sdb/ (which is currently mounted as (/media/HP\ v165w/) and remount it as /media/hp/ along with permissions 755 ? [19:26] its a USB drive [19:26] gamla_kossan, sorry, I don't know what is going on then. I have never had any luck upgrading. Something always fails when upgrading. [19:26] I need to recompile a package and would prefer to keep it as a package. so I downloaded the source (apt-get source) but how do I tell it to just recompile based on its existing rules? [19:26] tdn: actually, no its not, i just checked it, those do correspond. so thats correct [19:27] acicula, ok. [19:27] tdn: anyway, I moved the sources.list.distupgrade to /tmp, and did a apt-get update: [19:27] tdn: I got this: W: GPG error: http://se.archive.ubuntu.com lucid-updates Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [19:27] BluesKaj: sorry...

IP addresses are usually public on IRC anyway [19:46] rebirth, everything looks fine there , looks like you're connected [19:46] madmn: What port? [19:46] 21 [19:46] rww, true but why invite someone into your box [19:46] BluesKaj: i'm also plugged into ethernet [19:46] rww, roccity, a related question: Is the default ubuntu installation say( Lucid ) fully secure?

[19:47] ajaxError: unless your computer is turned off and in a safe at the bottom of the ocean, there is no such thing as "fully secure". Ubuntu's default configuration is secure enough, in my opinion. [19:47] rebirth, well, you have to decide which you are going to use ...can't run both at once [19:47] FunkyDude: have you tried ffmpeg? [19:47] `secure enough` sounds good [19:47] no, lemme see [19:47] ajaxError: Ubuntu's firewall is disabled by default. Since it doesn't have any services running and opening ports to the world, this is irrelevant. You can enable it with "sudo ufw enable".

[19:51] madmm, proftpd is cool for me [19:51] madmn: its blocked by a firewall. what does iptables --list show? [19:51] rww: if someone knows about apache and does not about firewall in ubuntu, then it is natural that they install apache and leave the firewall open.. say for testing php apps locally.. [19:51] join/ #linuxjournal [19:51] how do i do that splnet [19:51] rww: but if someone knows about firewall - only then they turn it off [19:51] Can somebody help me to configure 5.1 sound on my fresh 10.10 install?

[20:04] landstalker: which 1 [20:04] tim167: i understand.. but.. i mean, you'd think after several weeks if it's not working, you'd accept you need to figure something else out.

[20:05] Will take a look [20:05] if there isn't, then it's okay [20:05] is this a good channel to ask about scripting?? [20:05] erm, sorry [20:05] bash, specifically if I'm scripting up some steps and one of them is running a program which the next step relies on its output, anyway to not enter the program so that it carries on the script? [20:05] Repgahr: i'm not aware of anything more simple than auto complete w/ tab.

Let me do that [20:27] hey guys, if i just want to have a MTA on my box just for PHP to be able to send emails out, what package do you think i should use? [20:27] Hi... I am having several issues after running a software update a few hours ago. Using 10.04 on Dell Inspiron 1750. I ran the last security update, just a small one, something to do with sudo. Then I turned computer off and left for a few hours. Came back, turned it on and had no sound, then started hearing fan more than usual, checked system monitor and saw one cpu running at 100 percent. Tried to shutdown and restart but it [20:27] won't let me. It just goes back to login screen. Never had a problem with updates before, been running Ubuntu on here almost a year. Not a techie, btw. [20:28] i was thinking about sendmail, but i see there are a number of sendmial packages [20:28] xibalba_, there are lots, exim, sendmail [20:28] qmail [20:28] oldsmoky2: run the `top` command from the terminal, see if some process is using it all. [20:28] i'll probably use sendmail since i know that best [20:28] ubuntu_bm: google apache virtual hosts, one good how to is from debian [20:28] but there are multiple sendmail packages [20:29] sendmail sendmail-bin sendmail-base [20:29] which distro? ubuntu 10.10?

[20:29] 10.04 LTS [20:30] oldsmoky2: root is the user. The rightmost column should tell you the process name. [20:30] someone please get me maverick iso [20:30] earthmeLon, is there nothing on the other desktop? [20:30] it says usr/bin/python /us [20:31] what is the difference between /quit and /exit in irssi? If I only want to close one channel-window, how do i do it? [20:31] landstalker, When I create the "application launcher" it creates a .desktop file in ~/Desktop [20:31] do any of you watch videos from the internet ? [20:31] landstalker, All of my .desktop files show on screen :0:0. I would like to create some on screen :0:1 [20:31] kibot: ? you can download it [20:31] I recently installed ubuntu studio on my GateWay.

[20:35] *is [20:35] not sure [20:35] oldsmoky2: the first column, PID, tells you the process ID. You can kill it with that. e.g. if the PID is 1234, `kill 1234` is a good start. If that doesn't kill it, up the stakes with `kill -9 1234` [20:36] oldsmoky2: if you're still in `top` mode, you can just type `k 1234` [20:36] coraxx, think it has something to so with the kernels not matching [20:36] coraxx: how can a card be both nVidia and Intel? [20:36] or rather `k1234` [20:37] devin: you can install the package gnome-device-manager and look at the video graphics adapter(s) ...if you find both Intel(drm) and NVidia Corp on the devices...then the answer to my question is 'yes' [20:37] coraxx, it comes up with the normal low-graphics mode, then the mouse is frozen [20:37] does anyone know skyrail for linux [20:37] sorry [20:37] earthmeLon, not sure, sorry [20:37] Coraxx, my computer is unresponsive after boot === Th0r is now known as Guest25103 [20:37] ex [20:37] Help.

I don't see how it would suddenly disable itself.

I've a problem with xrdp... i'm able to connect to the pc on which is installed, in my office, I can see the remote desktop, but when i press the "d" key on the keyboard instead of typing "d" the pc shows me the desktop... how is it possible? how to solve this issue? [20:48] vex7: because you can't do that [20:48] devlin: as more an more developers contribute to maintaining the open-source drivers ...and as the get better and better ...the use for the Propertary ones becomes redundant ...and may at times conflict with the already operating open-source ones. [20:48] @Pudabudigada: actually it worked pretty well on fedora [20:48] help. I'm not seeing my primary hd, which has Ubuntu and WinXP on it, SDA, although I do see a 'sda' in /dev, but can't mount it because it doesn't know its type. I do see my secondary hd, sdb1. However, when I try to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, it shows SDA, but not SDB... [20:48] ikonia: it works for achlinux and fedora [20:48] hi! I've a problem with xrdp... i'm able to connect to the pc on which is installed, in my office, I can see the remote desktop, but when i press the "d" key on the keyboard instead of typing "d" the pc shows me the desktop... how is it possible? how to solve this issue? [20:48] vex7: it doesn't [20:48] Maybe your applicatios are not compatible [20:49] @pancho [20:49] hi [20:49] ikonia: but why [20:49] yea? [20:49] vex7: because your disk needs a partition table and a file system, and you're overwriting them with that command [20:49] Maybe your applicatios are not compatible [20:49] disconnect [20:49] when I click system->about it says "You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012." but it isn't the future, and I'm not..

[20:50] Hi! Does anyone know what to do with vsftpd+encrypted home folders? :) [20:50] ikonia: well it works for archlinux and fedora, like i said. ubuntu should probably do the same because it is hell making a live-cd without usb-creator-gtk [20:50] jenka: works the same as non-encypted home [20:50] does anyone else get that in maverick? [20:50] mbeierl: yup... Intel have had some weird implementation of their on-board video controllers ... Linux seems to have gradualy adapt to this, but its still a hazzle. [20:50] vex7: it won't work with other distros, you're mistaken [20:50] @Pudabudigada: how so? [20:50] cma`: know bug in the documentation [20:50] ikonia: no I cant connect [20:50] @Pudabudigada no, that's not possible, i have used it on openoffice impress on fedora [20:50] jenka: what is the problem [20:50] ikonia: don't tell me it doesn't work when i have done it myself. wth [20:50] coraxx: I have looked in all similar problems in forums, and everyone else can click ok at this screen but my mouse is frozen [20:50] good lord https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Putting_installation_media_on_a_USB_key [20:51] @Pudabudigada it worked like a charm [20:51] pancho, what sort of remote is it? [20:51] a built in one [20:51] infrared [20:51] ikonia: I cant login with my user thats got an encrypted home folder.. but i can with my other that does not. [20:51] devin: what computer are you using ? [20:51] help, my primary HD (sda) seems to have lost its partition table. [20:51] devin: MSI ? [20:52] pancho, I mean is it a media remote or what, can you link me to a product page? [20:52] jenka: ahh, you've encypted the whole of /home, rather than the home directory of the user [20:52] ikonia: hmm ok [20:52] yea [20:52] coraxx: e-machine3052 [20:52] coraxx: 23052 [20:53] coraxx: scratch that e-machine w3502 [20:53] @Pudabudigada it's this one [20:53] @Pudabudigada http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page/Remote_dv4_Lg.jpg [20:53] Where do I report a bug in the configuration script for the mnogosearch-common and mnogosearch-mysql packages in ubuntu 10.10? [20:53] pancho; 0.o [20:54] pancho; I'm assuming that windows button is meta? [20:54] devin: well you have to figure out how to boot from your CD/DVD-drive ...otherwise its almost hopeless to fix the issue. [20:54] coraxx: scrath that sorry typo today e-machine w3052 [20:54] anyone know what a cassiopeia is? [20:54] Pudabudigada, i won't be using that button XD [20:54] coraxx: yes, I have not found a fix for this, but what could be causing this error [20:55] hi! I've a problem with xrdp... i'm able to connect to the pc on which is installed, in my office, I can see the remote desktop, but when i press the "d" key on the keyboard instead of typing "d" the pc shows me the desktop... how is it possible? how to solve this issue? [20:55] pancho; Get a tux sticker! [20:55] Hey, i'm trying to format my HD from an ubuntu 10.0 Live CD, and the disk tool crashes when i select a drive. additionally, the gnome toolbars appear to crash randomly [20:55] devin: and you can install the device manager in the Ubuntu Live session ...just to check out the hardware. [20:55] ikonia: how does I fix it? :) [20:55] Pudabudigada, lol, any help? [20:55] jenka: you'll need to unencypt [20:56] Last time i tried i got "daemon is being inhibited" when i tried to actually format the drive, so i restarted and now i can't even open the disk manager [20:56] coraxx: there are plenty of ways to fix from live CD, but I just can't seem to get it to boot up from drive. have been at it for an hour now [20:56] Help, GParted isn't seeing SDA, but Ubuntu 10.04 LTS install seems to know it's there.... [20:56] pancho; Check for ir daemons with 'top' that run when you use the config util that it works with, see if they are killed when you close it. [20:56] dein: can't answer you until you do the test. If it is the Intel/nVidia issue ...then its because of a driver conflict ...which is usually resolved with just using the Intel-driver [20:57] gnome toolbars just crashed again, this is insane [20:57] ikonia: you mean decrpyt, when login in the ftp? [20:57] devin: if you can't get a boot-menu ...then you will have to entger the BIOS setup menu ... [20:57] jenka: basically the vsftpd daemon will need to see an unencypted directory before you try to login [20:57] IsmAvatar: So sda isn't listed in the drop down menu of drives? [20:57] devin: that is usually done by pressing F2 or Del during startup [20:57] Jordan_U: correct [20:58] coraxx: thank you, I will continue to trobleshoot. Is there any way to uninstall ubuntu from BIOS [20:58] IsmAvatar: Is it listed in "sudo parted -l"? [20:58] coraxx: that would be nice [20:58] ikonia: ok..? Im pretty new to vsftpd :P [20:58] devin: in there you should be able to find a section that has to do with Boot priority ...an the DVD/CD should be the 1st [20:58] okay the toolbar crashes when i mouse over applications -> accessories [20:58] devin: no [20:58] coraxx: well, that blows [20:58] Jordan_U: Error: /dev/sda: unrecognized disk label [20:59] devin: but worse case scenario ...you can detach your harddsik drive ...thereby forcing it to boot on some other device [20:59] coraxx: spectacular idea [21:00] Pudabudigada nope :S [21:00] coraxx: swithcing HDD might work then. I can do that [21:00] pancho, No daemon starts? [21:00] IsmAvatar: Do you have any data on sda currently? [21:00] devin: this manuveur does help in fixing your problem ...only diagnosing it [21:00] nope [21:00] * mylcdisfscked will restart again. this is about my 50th restart and i'm getting very sick of ubuntu very fast [21:01] coraxx: ok, thank you for helping me today [21:01] devin: *doesn't ...damn I'm typing bad today also [21:01] Pudabudigada i suppose the ir daemon is already up [21:01] pancho, Try system monitor [21:01] anyone know what a cassiopeia is?

I've got Ubuntu 10.10 and WinXP installed on it, have been using it for a while. I have backups, but obviously some info is not backed up and I'd like to get it back. [21:01] and if it's feasible to install linux on it [21:01] Anyone know how I can get libmysqlclient.so.15, 16 won't work for ts3 server [21:02] pancho, Have it organise them by status (sleeping etc). See if it appears at the top of the list when you run the config util. [21:02] kibot, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [21:02] IsmAvatar: Did you do anything recently to the partition table?

[21:05] kibot: this channel is for ubuntu support questions only [21:05] ...and i was asking a perfectly plausible question then. [21:06] kibot: the question was nothing to do with ubuntu, this channel is for ubuntu questions only [21:06] kibot, are you going to run Ubuntu on it? [21:06] Jordan_U: not that I know of. I didn't do anything to it, and I'm going to guess that Updates don't usually touch it [21:06] yus! [21:06] boy it's busy in here [21:06] kibot: ok, you cannot run ubuntu on it. [21:06] ikonia, see? [21:06] Pudabudigada: what ? [21:06] um [21:06] anyone hlep with my keyboard issue? [21:06] oh [21:07] lol [21:07] Pudabudigada: see what ?

[21:07] Hi, anyone knows how to mount a hfs+ external disk read/write? It's not journaled and it doesn't work :( [21:07] Pudabudigada: and it's been responded to [21:07] ataexec: what is ti exaclty? [21:07] same wireless dongle for both mouse & keyboard, mouse works but not keyboard [21:07] 'k [21:07] hey, is there a great tool for ubuntu to create textures? or anything like that to use like for instance some kind of background for a webpage? [21:08] Pudabudigada, i think kibot is reffering to Casio Cassiopeia EM-500, een Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) [21:08] and ikonia, cool off a bit. [21:08] Chillance, GIMP [21:08] yus ah was. [21:08] Jordan_U: no. It's got my boot information (grub), and computer booting stops when it would normally reach the Grub screen. I can boot to liveCD (as I am currently). I can't mount the drive. However, Install sees it and says it has no partition table, but lets me partition it if I wanted (tho I won't) [21:08] ty Oer [21:08] Chillance, if you are asking about seamless x,y tiling, then i dont know, otherwise gimp [21:08] hm, GIMP you say.. interesting..

[21:57] wait.. .that's only a bittorrent client [21:57] hi [21:57] tacomaster: Yes, update-grub will detect OSs on other drives. [21:57] Fishscene, nope [21:57] Fishscene, i need help with drivers [21:57] Jordan_U: ty [21:57] tacomaster: You're welcome. [21:57] Fishscene, i think it's both a gui client and a console tracker [21:57] Tammy: Logs might help someone figure out the issue. I was wondering if you knew how to get logs, but I don't know which ones to get either =\ [21:58] :( [21:58] Fishscene, i need someone to help me with drivers [21:58] bye [21:58] tammy: how are you trying to install the nvidia drivers ? [21:58] phantomcircuit: In that case, how would I find information on configuring it? It is incredibly difficult to dig up any information on how to configure that. [21:58] ikonia, threw the hardware drivers thing [21:58] tammy: ok, and what happens when you try [21:58] I need help with wvdial. I keep getting "no carrier. trying again" all the time until it just decides to work. Am I missing something? This time it took more more than 30 minutes and probably about 100 tries. [21:58] Fishscene, hmm maybe im wrong, one sec [21:58] ikonia, ill try again now [21:59] Fishscene: you can check log file viewer in administration, that should show you the important logs.. [21:59] ikonia, it downloads the driver then gives me this error [21:59] Scaevolus, did you try it out? [21:59] ikonia, brb it wants me to restart [21:59] I ran "aptitude search bittorrent" and found the client and tracker called "bittorrent". however, I haven't been able to dig up ANY information on this package in Google :( [21:59] tammy: what error ? [22:00] Jeruvy: where is Administration? [22:00] Fishscene, what kind of features do you need from thetracker? [22:00] normal: wow this takes me back some :) Silly question, do you actually have a carrier? [22:00] Phantomcircuit: Pretty basic actually. [22:00] Fishscene: System - Administration - Log File Viewer [22:00] How can I configure rhythmbox so that when I double click a song it plays only that one song, only once (rather than continuing down the list automatically)? [22:01] Jeruvy: ah yes. Sorry about the confusion. I was thinking in terminal, but I didn't communicate that =\ [22:01] Fishscene, opentracker seems workable, it's not available as a package though [22:01] Fishscene: no worry, I just wanted to see if that would help. [22:01] ikonia, im back [22:01] tammy: so I see [22:01] phantomcircuit: Yea. I'm looking to host an internal tracker - the less requests that go out to the internet, the better. [22:01] Jeruvy, i am using USB Internet Stick. [22:02] ikonia, thats odd now it works [22:03] no surprise [22:03] normal: sorry I'm not really clear on what you are doing. NO carrier can me NO carrier. Check your line. [22:03] does anybody know if it's possible to create a bootable environment on a flash drive which can be updated? [22:03] normal: s/me/mean/ [22:03] phantomcircuit: a flash drive is just a disk, so you can update it fine [22:03] ikonia, and btw my card is nvidia geforce 9100m g. dont know if its good [22:03] phantomcircuit: Do you mean where it can store persistant user-data? [22:03] phantomcircuit: If it's large enough you can just do a normal install, as you would to an internal drive. [22:04] Fishscene, nope i mean where i can upgrade the packages [22:04] phantomcircuit: that's how i'm running openSuse btw...through a flash drive [22:04] Jordan_U, how would i do that [22:04] ikonia, should be good enough ? [22:04] phantomcircuit: Have you ever installed Ubuntu to an internal drive? [22:04] tammy: good enough for what ? [22:04] Jeruvy, http://pastebin.com/EpvUx8R0, i hope everything is fine [22:04] ikonia, for effects [22:04] Jordan_U, yeah it's installed now (btw im a pretty advanced user i just normally setup flash drives with initramfs) [22:05] tammy: depends on what effects, just try what you want [22:05] phantomcircuit: Then do exactly what you did to install to the internal drive, but select the flash drive instead. [22:05] ikonia, right now i got the normal wobbly windows === coolmadmax is now known as xXx_hazard_ [22:05] Jordan_U, oh alright then === xXx_hazard is now known as xXx_hazard__ === xXx_hazard_ is now known as xXx_hazard [22:06] Jordan_U, damn a full install seems to be > 2GB === xXx_hazard__ is now known as zvrk [22:06] phantomcircuit: get a bigger flashdisk :) [22:06] normal: have you reviewed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto ? [22:08] hello all [22:08] i need help [22:08] phantomcircuit: Yes :(. You have a few options, none of them ideal. 1: Do a minimal install that will take up less space, 2: Try a very experimental install to compressed btrfs 3: Make a "persistant" install that will allow you to save settings and install simple programs but not do normal upgrades (the biggest factor is that kernel upgrades won't work).

Your welcome. [22:10] what is the latest, gui runnable, kernel? [22:11] Jeruvy, will do [22:11] ojay: try reading this -> http://bit.ly/fPPKtA [22:11] The only information I can find is located here ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent ) (Under the last picture). But that only has information for downloading a torrent- not tracking one. [22:12] bluezone: gui runnable?

I've got /home on an old HDD, and I want to set up a new user's home directory to include something like /home/newuser/storage/ that points to /media/newHDD/storage so that anything put in the first directory in fact exists only in the second, on the new disk.

[22:15] Encr9: You can use mount -a to attempt to automatically mount all the devices specified in /etc/fstab [22:15] mounted it with pmount I think [22:15] bluezone: well i do not know. no enough info. can you give any error messages you got if any? check the logs? /var/log/Xorg.0.log /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog after a failed boot?

[22:22] LostPenguin: depends on the driver ... [22:22] LostPenguin, i believe you have to use modprobe, but don't take it from me im not sure :P [22:22] bluezone: i thought that the problem is that you do not get a gui ... [22:22] USB DVB cature device [22:22] erUSUL, yeah i can't, but i remember one kernel that did lead me to gui and my wireless was fixed [22:23] erUSUL, but i guess if i can try fixing this... one sec [22:23] I think I've managed to compile the correct driver, but it tried to put it in a WAY ot of date kernel version [22:23] erUSUL, is it possible it does that because i have restricted drivers? [22:23] hi everybody, i have a pretty standard, default installation of apache2 and a site that is non https, i want to enable secure connections for those who want to use it, i have a virtual host called ejv that begins with and then all the arguments... do I need to copy the entire block and change 80 to 443, then insert the SSLEngine on and all the other parameters? [22:24] bluezone: i am a bit lost ... " i remember one kernel that did lead me to gui and my wireless was fixed " you mean that one of the kernels you can choose frm in grub menu works and the others don't? [22:24] ejv: maybe better --> /join #httpd [22:25] this would be a whole lot easer if system functions were managed in the gui....

[22:30] hi ecanto! [22:31] DaGeek247, hi. [22:31] so no ideas? [22:31] bluezone: the driver worked with the old versin ( you got gui ) and it stopped working with the new one ... [22:31] erUSUL, corrupted kernel? [22:31] erUSUL, yeah [22:32] LostPenguin: ko files go in /lib/modules/kernelversion/somewhere [22:32] LostPenguin: but kkernel drivers you compile should have a « make install » that just do the right thing (tm) [22:32] hi is there anyway to stop desktop users executing shell commands whether it's from a terminal or shell script on the desktop that they run?

[22:34] erUSUL: i went there first before coming here :P [22:34] LostPenguin: and why is that a problem? [22:35] you can restore graphic driver from ati web site [22:35] 2.6.32-27 has stuff that overwrites that [22:35] robert11: hide the terminal emulator and disable the run dialog... that may be enough [22:35] isnt there a linux kiosk os?

How can I automatically select "Try Ubuntu" at live boot ?

[22:39] 10.1 works fine on 10.04 32bit - chromium browser [22:40] Yeah. Im having issues using webcam in flash based chat rooms. It seems that even though my camera is good, I get this sort of strange interlacing on it [22:40] DaGeek247 thanks but i've programmed my own version [22:40] my own kiosk application [22:40] but when I use the camera function in Google Talk (also through the browser but through thier tech), the pic is great [22:40] KeyLimePi, Im 10.10 64bit and use flash (32bit) with no real problems.. there is a 64bit flash plugin if you google 64bit flash ppa, but its not final. [22:40] KeyLimePi: Sounds like a flash bug [22:40] robert11: execute commands how exactly? [22:40] Yeah, I tried version and non solve the problem (64-bit) [22:41] QUAK! [22:41] you can add ppa via ubuntu tweak [22:41] by putting shell scripts on the desktop then double clicking them and selecting the run option [22:41] robert11: and you can't stop them from doing that?

[22:41] I have the thread I put in this morning. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1672309 [22:42] funny is that I did not have this kind of problem 2 weeks ago but then, I have done some package updates since then.

[22:48] also a lot articles say that when u want to lockdown gnome desktop environment use gconf but the user can easily go back and change the gconf settings using a shell script if they really wanted couldn't they would changing the .gconf dir owner to root and 700 permison on it prevent users from changing it ? will that work ? or do they need to have permission to change otherwise gnome won't work properly [22:49] Hey community what is the normal command for install a Nvidia ?

[22:52] robert11: Access Control Lists (man setfacl, man getfacl; all that's required is the "acl" option in fstab for the partition) I don't know if there's a way for you to prevent users from modifying permissions at all in nautilus, that may be possible. Regarding the usb, I suppose you could set it up so they get mounted noexec. Also, you have to be careful that they can't re-associate default applications [22:52] in nautilus (since they could have text files get sourced through bash I suppose) [22:52] LostPenguin: have you tried this method for adding a usb id? http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/AddID [22:53] LostPenguin: in the web page is for a wifi driver but for the dvb should be pretty similar [22:53] http://roc.ly/name/iNTERNET - Sign up at ruinsofchaos.com and play!

[22:55] robert11: you should try the #gnome channel (here on freenode and on gimpnet too) [22:55] cheers jrib i'll look into that, so you think i should use ACL's for stopping users from executing shell scripts etc? [22:56] jrib ok will do [22:56] robert11: that's just one way that should work.

[22:57] Freeaqingme_: grep perhaps [22:57] acicula, browsing through hte man pages [22:58] but nothing so far [22:58] jrib well pessulus sabayon just modify gconf anyway, but users can change their gconf settings can't they if they manager to execute shell scripts, should i set to the owner of the .gconf directory for the user to root do you think that would preven them from chaning the gconf values and i could set it so that other and group members on have read access [22:58] Freeaqingme_: google unix or linux text tools [22:58] robert11: you can set mandatory gconf keys (it's in the admin docs at library.gnome.org) [22:58] Freeaqingme_: maybe that will turn up something usefull about the blackart of linux text tools === mnepton is now known as mneptok === gutos is now known as sotug [22:58] no [22:58] acicula: "linux text tools"?

I've got an ATI Radeon card.. this is happening on both the open source drivers and the fglrx drivers. Any ideas? [23:27] Phase does this happen at random or when performing a certian operation? [23:27] is there an easy way to switch from normal ubuntu to thenetbook version w/o reinstalling? [23:27] I didn't get any errors, the username password is changed and works on everything but ecryptfs. That means I can't log in cause my login password wont mount my home folder... I have to manual mount it with the old password before I login [23:27] so there is no way at all to handle drivers with the GUI? [23:27] KM0201: Have you tried it yourself? [23:27] phantomcircuit: you can run both side by side [23:27] Jordan_U: using it right now. [23:28] Noeltorious: When I first boot into it it seems to be fine.. I can login (enter my password), move through the various menus, etc.. but if I click that 'invisible' taskbar item I mentioned it starts the above behavior [23:28] KM0201: OK, thank you. [23:28] Noeltorious, ah i see that it's just a DE selection [23:28] Jordan_U: it has a easy search feature, and it will easily only play one song at a time (it hink that was your requirement) [23:28] Noeltorious: Also, whenever I open something, it's in the first slot on the taskbar.. where that 'invisible' item is [23:29] phantomcircuit: you got it [23:29] How do I change the screen resolution of Ubuntu 10.10/10.04? [23:29] phantomcircuit: is this phantom slot removable via the right click menu? or does right click lock up the peripherals as well? [23:29] phantomcircuit: that was meant for phase oops [23:29] Phase: is this phantom slot removable via the right click menu? or does right click lock up the peripherals as well? [23:30] Noeltorious: Rebooting now, let me check [23:31] Noeltorious: I right clicked it, clicked off the right click menu, and it still worked. I right clicked again, and hit the 'Remove' option, and it still worked. I leftclicked that area and it messes up again. [23:31] mmk then [23:31] How do I change the screen resolution on Ubuntu 10.10/10.04? [23:31] wb Noeltorious :P [23:32] KM0201: Is there a way to keep the search box up permanently? [23:32] Jordan_U: now that i'm not sure... i don't think so. [23:32] Phase: this is the taskbar eh? [23:32] Noeltorious: The bottom bar where running applications show up, like the Windows startbar, yeah [23:32] KM0201: It's the closest to what I want so far, and will do if I can't find anything else. Thank you. [23:33] Jordan_U: no prob.. i'll keep my eyebals open for something else, but i agree, thus far, it's the closest i've saw also. [23:33] Noeltorious: I read something about a graphics safe mode? I'm not sure how to boot into that.. I was thinking if I could boot into that and it still worked then it probably isn't a graphics card issue (though I'm at a loss at this point) [23:33] Phase: this is probably not the best solution, but try deleting that whole panel then readding all the items [23:33] Noeltorious: alright [23:33] TylerMcMaster: system > preferences > monitors [23:33] Phase: yeah idt its a graphics issue at all [23:34] so no one has any experience with drivers besides erUSUL? [23:34] Thanks VCoolio [23:36] hello anybody out there? [23:36] lol [23:37] Noeltorious: Are the only two things on that panel the running applictions and workspace switcher? [23:37] kx; what'ya ned? [23:37] hey i have a problem with X [23:37] whats it called [23:37] is it true in the latest version of ubuntu you can control audio by apps like win7? [23:37] Phase: depends theres also the show desktop recycle bin as well usually [23:37] it has to do with graphical user interface [23:38] ah [23:38] grkblood13: afaik you can do this in the sound menu in the last tab [23:38] grkblood13: i really dont know what you mean, i've used several apps to control the volume just for that app over the years. [23:38] my net book runs fine for a bit then the screen starts distorting [23:38] im talking about via the system volume control [23:38] versus doing it by devices [23:38] is 11.04 the "current version" ... went to ubuntu.com, clicked the download, thought I get 10.10 (like the dropdown said) but after fighting with odd behavior for house decided to look at the about and I actually installed 11.04 ? [23:39] Noeltorious: Hmm, I think it locked up for a minute when I tried to add the System Monitor applet, but so far everything's still working [23:39] Everything I can find says it's alpha [23:39] garrettb: what does « lsb_release -a » says? [23:39] grkblood13: then yes, you can clcik on sound pref and applications tab, and adjust everything there (if it's a fast sound though, you'll have to be quick, cuz it disappears once the sound goes off) [23:39] so no one has any idea how to add device ids to the kernel? [23:39] Phase: totally unrelated but i love having that in my taskbar, always change the colors though. i wonder what that blank space was, did you add anything recently? [23:39] No LSB modules are available. [23:39] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [23:39] Description: Ubuntu 10.10 [23:39] Release: 10.10 [23:39] Codename: maverick [23:39] garrettb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:40] Noeltorious: Nope, 100% fresh install [23:40] garrettb: you're using 10.10... somehow the "about" for 11.04 got into a 10.10 update [23:40] kx, put the name of the person helping you in your post, else it will get lost [23:40] Ok...ty [23:40] Pudabudigada [23:40] k [23:41] hello [23:41] kx, Is it affected by moving the screen physically, different resolutions, or other OSs? [23:41] Noeltorious: Ok, it locked up again when I opened the System Monitor window [23:41] grkblood13: you mean by clicking the indicator or by going into the sound menu? i coulda sworn there was a tab for per app volume [23:41] Pudabudigada i do nothing [23:42] Noeltorious: Just for shits and giggles I'm going to burn another 10.10 disc.. though this one should be fine. [23:42] Noeltorious: it's the application tab... it has a volume meter for each appt hat is currently running sound [23:42] Pudabudigada sometimes when im on facebook it does it [23:42] Are you using it now? [23:42] kx [23:42] is there some other place I can go for help more specific to my needs of trying to get this driver to work? [23:42] yes [23:42] Pudabudigada: its running ok though [23:43] KM0201: thanks, grkblood13 does that sound like what youre looking for? [23:43] kx Try moving the screen [23:43] Phase: yeah im sorry about that, honestly never seen of heard of that [23:43] kx you may be doing it w/o realising [23:43] Pudabudigada: the settings? [23:44] ill try in a sec [23:44] kx, No, I mean grab it [23:44] im running aroudn right now [23:44] Noeltorious: Me either :|, I just figured it might be a graphics card issue because this is the first time I've had a computer with a non-intel integrated chip :P [23:44] im sure it is though [23:44] Phase: what is your integrated chipset?... if it's ATI or Nvidia, it's probably OK.. that one.. SiS or something, is kinda wonky [23:44] Phase: the more you describe the issue the more im starting to wonder if thats it myself, you said you were unaware how to do safe graphics mode right? [23:45] Noeltorious: Right [23:45] Pudabudigada yeah i grab it then the cube kicks in [23:45] KM0201: I'm not sure, I know the card is an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro AGP [23:45] so no one knows anything about drivers in here? [23:45] Phase: and its freezing up?.. did you install the ATI driver? [23:46] kx What? [23:46] KM0201: I had fglx (sp) drivers.. and brb just a second. Pizza's here. [23:46] Pudabudigada i dont understand what you mean by grab the screen, you mean physically? [23:46] kx Yes! [23:47] kx Did you think I meant prnt scrn? Srry! [23:47] Pudabudigada k nothing happens [23:47] kx Now try a resolution change [23:48] Hello! Is here anyone familiar with HP computers and Ubuntu? [23:48] Stupid question incoming! [23:48] kx if everything disappears, just leave it for 15 seconds [23:48] [23:48] Pudabudigada k [23:48] Did I install 32bit or 64 bit? how can I find this out? [23:48] would it be possible to run an .EXE file using wine on a read-only cd, (checking the allow execution in properties cannot be done) [23:48] by process of elimation! [23:49] "Wrong architecture 'i386' " [23:49] hi [23:49] im getting page load errors in firefox [23:49] Laurenceb_: hey [23:49] bluezone: yeah, that's how I installed FFXI [23:49] [23:49] Pudabudigada ok i did it, when it was changing the resolution it distorted and then grabbed the config [23:49] LostPenguin, how would you do it? [23:49] Hilarie: uname -p also tells you [23:49] Laurenceb: download firefox killer... Chrome :) [23:50] it seems that firefox is never getting responses back from the webserver [23:50] LostPenguin, because it tells me that it cannot be opened, you the "the file... is not marked as executable" [23:50] about 20% of occasions [23:50] [23:50] Pudabudigada: ill try to see if it happens and if it still happens then ill move those settings around see if it gets better, thank you very much your help is greatly appreciated [23:50] http://picasa.google.com/linux/thanks-deb64.html Do I already have those listed requirements? [23:50] bluezone chmod [23:50] kx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:51] kx, 'k I'll be here for a while longer if you need more [23:51] i am burning a ubuntu server to a cd, does it harm to check the option " leave the disc open to add files later" ? [23:51] goddard: www.ubuntu.com seems pretty official :) [23:51] Hilarie: if you don't, when you double click on the .deb file... software manager will download them... if there's a dependency it cannot download, it will show an error before you install it [23:51] joefozmans, i think he is trolling :( [23:51] KM0201: Back now, wouldn't 10.10 install the opensource drivers by default? (I never did check to see specifically before I switch to the propertiery ones) [23:51] Thank you! [23:51] switched* [23:51] so, about 20% of the time when i try to load a page, i never get a response back from the server.
