[00:00] bluezone drivers are the #1 reason I do windows... [00:00] drivers and games xD [00:01] hello, please a little question, how I can view in terminal all the modules and kernel modules associated with audio? using ubuntu 10.10 [00:01] I got FFXI to run on wine, everything else I play is on console === amalloy_ is now known as amalloy [00:01] Equanthom: lspci [00:01] oh thanks [00:02] Pudabudigada [00:02] Hi I am having issues with SOUND i cant play two application at once ? [00:02] useful ! problem solved thanks [00:02] Pudabudigada nope its still messed up [00:02] kx Yup? [00:02] So, .deb is what i am looking for when I am trying to find apps online? [00:02] Hilarie: yes [00:02] when i minimize stuff i can't see it on the bottom bar.... i use alt-tab to get it back.. any idea how to get the titles on the bar?? [00:02] Pudabudigada yeah i actually took a screen shot want to see it? [00:02] k [00:03] Hilarie use package manager to find games [00:03] Hilarie: its best to use software center, but if the app is not in software center, and you can find an ubuntu .deb... then yes. [00:03] I am looking for truecrypt [00:03] kx I think I may have had that problem before [00:03] http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/9504/screenshotkts.png [00:03] Hilarie: i think thats in software center [00:03] The only thing in the software center is a snazzy UI [00:03] Hilarie: lol [00:03] Pudabudigada [00:03] which sends you straight to the truecrypt website [00:03] ? [00:04] Pudabudigada yeah? what do you thing it is and just if you didnt get the pic here it goes again http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/9504/screenshotkts.png [00:04] kx Yup? [00:04] Easycrypt through the built in installer only makes things pretty [00:04] Hilarie: sorry, i was thinking of crypt keeper [00:05] when i minimize stuff i can't see it on the bottom bar.... i use alt-tab to get it back.. any idea how to get the titles on the bar?? [00:05] I've better than TrueCrypt \(-0-)/ ^^ [00:05] kx, remove that eye thing, I think I can recall that causing issues. [00:05] Hilarie: truecrypt can be usd to create an encrypted folder, and you can just enable/disable it at will.. it's pretty simple to use.... i'm not that familiar w/ truecrypt [00:05] Pudabudigada ok lets see [00:05] http://www.netnavis.hostoi.com/a2dcrypt/a2d-setup-v2.zip [00:05] user1199: right click the panel choose add to panel and a window should pop up [00:05] Pudabudigada ok gones but its still messed up [00:06] user1199: i cant remember the exact name of the item but it should say window/s in it === laurence_ is now known as Laurenceb_ [00:06] kx use 'top' in terminal [00:06] TrueCrypt uses a 128 -> 256 bits Encryption Algorithm [00:06] @alex I am looking for hidden partitions within the partition [00:06] pastebin me the output [00:07] Ahh, Window List.. [00:07] Hilarie: http://unixlab.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-install-truecrypt-on-ubuntu-1010.html [00:07] But A2DCrypt uses a 2048 Bits Encryption Algorithme, and OpenSource 4 Linux [00:07] Pudabudigada k i got it [00:07] user1199: you should be able to lock that to the panel so that it doesnt go disappearing on you again, if you want [00:08] @alex_ then why did you send me a .exe? I thought thats windows only, or wine [00:08] kx pastebin me the output [00:08] Noeltorious: Thanks, found it. must have removed it by oops.. [00:08] Noeltorious: All locked. thanks for the help.. [00:08] Hello all. [00:08] user1199: no prob! [00:09] @Hilarie Ok, so TrueCrypt is better. Do u now another software to do this ? [00:09] Has anyone here ever been so unlucky as to fry a motherboard or other innards via static electricity during a regular procedure? [00:09] <|ns|nR8> seen it happen linseo [00:09] @linseo touch the metal case [00:09] alex__: i doubt an app like that would run well in wine... regardless, trucrypt has a linux version, and there's some encryption program in the repositories.. [00:09] linseo: every time I try and change a processor [00:10] I dont suppose anyone here is familiar with ushare streaming to the 360 by chance? [00:10] @Hilarie, go to http://www.netnavis.hostoi.com/a2dcrypt/a2dcrypt-v1.2-unix.tar [00:10] linseo, Or a radiator, or, better still, use an anti-static strap. [00:10] linseo: built computers for about 13yrs, never fried one yet... and i never wear a wrist strap, and build on top of carpet..lol [00:10] Pudabudigada hold on [00:10] greetings everyone, any Samba experts around to answer a quick question? [00:10] Pudabudigada its way distorted [00:11] for A2DCrypt under Linux, the Windows Version doesn't run with Wine =S only the linux Version is able to run under... Linux ^^ [00:11] kx, I opened a dialogue window, use that [00:11] <|ns|nR8> KM0201, you could of caused minute changes such as the sine wave in a ram chip, ,meaning it would never overclock as far as it could of [00:12] Well, If anyone could help me get ushare to support streaming .avi files, id be eternally grateful. None of the guides explain how to edit or find the mime.c they keep talking about [00:12] does anyone know how to reload the smb.conf without killing the services? [00:12] |ns|nR8: what can i say, i live on the edge... never a problem yet... i imagine given the # of PC's i've built over the years, if somethig was gonna cause a problem, i'd ahve found out by now. [00:12] So... I copied and pasted $ tar -xzvf truecrypt-7.0a-linux-x86.tar.gz into the command prompt [00:13] |ns|nR8: but i agree it's smart to take precautions, and iusually do at least discharge myself by touching something metal/grounded before handling components [00:13] and it said $ command not found [00:13] KM0201: ESD doesn't always (or even particularly frequently) show up immediately [00:13] gordonjcp: well surely it would have in 14yrs? [00:13] Hilarie: did you download the file [00:13] ? [00:13] KM0201: same computer running for 14 years? [00:13] Ya, its on my desktop [00:13] KM0201: never replaced any parts at all? [00:13] Hilarie: put it in your home folder, then copy/paste the command again [00:14] ty! [00:14] gordonjcp: do you just thrive on being dense? [00:14] gordonjcp: this is the 3rd time today youv'e takensomethin totally out of context [00:14] KM0201: I'm beginning to suspect you have trouble with reading comprehension [00:14] Still said $ not found [00:14] Hilarie: then you're not doing somethign right. [00:14] KM0201: if you zap a part with static, it may well work perfectly well *now* but fail rather more quickly than it would if you hadn't zapped it [00:15] Hilarie: hold on [00:15] I had never burnt one before, and then I just got my very first new laptop, and it seems that nothing else can be wrong... I must have fried it 23 hours after receiving it on first attempt opening, surrounded by wood and stone.... Static fucking electricity...

[00:15] gordonjcp, but KM0201 is a god :( [00:15] gordonjcp: well, i'll take my experience over yours.... [00:15] KM0201: I have to agree with you, I have never fried a computer working on it either [00:15] KM0201: or, to put it another way, the DIMM you just picked up after walking across your acrylic carpet has been zapped, but won't actually fail for another year [00:15] k [00:15] KM0201: [00:15] KM0201: it's actually my job to know about ESD in manufacturing and repair [00:16] bluezone: you can do what you want... not really sure the reason for the satire.. just saying, some people love over-reacting [00:16] if i add the backports repo to my software sources, will it automatically update codeblocks or will i have to reinstall? [00:16] KM0201, gordonjcp: Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, please. [00:16] i'm using 10.04 [00:16] KM0201: but in general PC stuff is chunky crude stuff that won't really suffer much [00:16] KM0201, not me , the other guy xD [00:16] rww: meh, I'm done here ;-) [00:16] lol [00:17] Hehe [00:17] Hilarie: did you download the 32bit? [00:17] Failing to compensate for the 64bit vs 32 bit [00:17] :) [00:17] I am really not this stupid irl, I promise [00:17] Hilarie: it happens... [00:17] Good morning [00:18] any help on ltsp-build-client [00:19] if i have a bunch of static routes set up is there a way to get route to output the route commands i would need to enter [00:19] to replicate the set of static routes [00:19] on an idential system? [00:19] LostPenguin, humm i don't know if your experienced with this, but for some reason when i mount the diablo 2 expansion disk or when i burn it or when i copy it from a burned disk, and run the installer.exe, it says the disc is not in the tray, and the installer asks for it to be inserted, but the installer disc (for diablo classic) worked fine, any ideas? [00:19] hello [00:20] Pudabudigada you still there? [00:20] Victory is mine! [00:20] bluezone configuration file in the installed diablo directory === guest__ is now known as Guest9187 [00:20] you're going to have to move the downloadedx disk in to the wine file system and point to it there [00:21] LostPenguin, no no i mean i can't install expansion period because it gives me a no-disc-inserted error on wine [00:22] LostPenguin, the same type of error you would get in diablo 2 on windows, just not when installing it from a cd because obviously it is inserted [00:22] bluezone make a virtual disk out of the direcotry it is in [00:22] wiesibona? [00:22] gk__, hello, just ask the real question [00:22] tezio schwusinski? [00:23] mizi banatus [00:23] LostPenguin, you mean like diablo_2_expansion_disc.iso ?

[00:24] LostPenguin, yes but i also have the official iso to install it, i did that because i thought it would fix this no disc error [00:25] gmg: what do you mean "log in automatically" [00:25] i am setting up ubuntu server, I am low on resources (hardware), should I use LVM during partition [00:25] problem with xwindow i think [00:25] if i have a bunch of static routes set up is there a way to get route to output the route commands i would need to enter on an identical system to replicate the routes? [00:26] Why would an x64 version of ubuntu only be seeing 3.6gb of my 4gb of ram? [00:26] zulax: u have more disks?

First was a fatal error executing 'grub-install/dev/sdb' failed and second was full installer crash with recommend to open a bug report. Thought I'd ask here before doing that to see if anyone might be able to help? [00:27] I have a other machine without a keyboard, mouse or screen and would like to access it when i want to [00:27] zulax: depends on your needs i'd say, i dont use it on my server though [00:28] Oh, my ATI chip is jacking ram [00:28] zulax: no need then [00:28] LostPenguin, oh so i would have to mount it in wine? [00:28] Hilarie: but if your onboard graphics is using your system ram(quite possible) then it's only going to detect System Ram-Video ram [00:28] MaDSeN, Noeltorious thanks :) I think I got my answer [00:28] hehe [00:28] hello wedwo- [00:28] bluezone exactumundo [00:29] LostPenguin, so ill just try alcohol 52% then lol [00:29] guys.. whos got the longest uptime ? :D [00:29] gk__, sorry, out of my league [00:29] MadAGu: not me.. i only have about 9hrs on this box... but i think my freenas box has been up for about 22 days... === meteor is now known as malik__ [00:30] i am getting following error while ltsp-build-client I: Configuring initramfs-tools...

[00:33] Hilarie: i think Chromes adbock is better.. at least for me. [00:34] Last I checked, all the adblocks did on chrome was made the adds not get displayed [00:34] Hilarie: but all i need is adblock, and youtube downloader, both of which work well w/ chrome [00:34] Adblock Plus for FF actually doesn't download them [00:34] http://georgia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10178534#post10178534 the first post is basically my problem, it sounds like the ubuntu installer *doesn't* support serial I/O ?

[00:53] thanks KM0201 [00:53] Your posting a universal link for peoples own emails [00:53] I was trying to get ipv6 to work earlyer mabe i screwed somthing up [00:53] weird response tho [00:53] well, gmails [00:53] Varc: and what i'll do somethimes is sudo apt-get *part of the program* and hit tab to see possibilites, downside is sometimes you get a ton of hits [00:53] but I guess the problem's on my side [00:53] damnit [00:53] Does ubuntu not play .avi files very well? [00:53] Fireblasto: sure it does [00:54] gnewb: What is RTM ? [00:54] Varc: ex: sudo apt-get install chrom and hit tab, pulls up a bunch of chromium packages === jnotsomad980 is now known as jmad980 [00:54] jca1981: hmmm, you have it checked in your startup? well...after starting it manually AGAIN, go back to the startup menu and click options>remember currently running apps [00:54] KM0201 I have no idea why banshee, media player, and even chromium are failing to play it [00:54] Fireblasto: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras let it install, then try to open the .avi again [00:55] Fireblasto: well, duh.. none of those will play an .avi... you play .avi's w/ Totem [00:55] !avi | Fireblasto [00:55] Fireblasto: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [00:55] Noeltorious: I see, if i put dpkg-query -L package How can i know what is the program to run? Are .exe like Windows? [00:55] Varc: executables are in /usr/bin or sometimes /usr/local/bin [00:56] VCoolio: But, if i have it in a package [00:57] Varc: are you wanting to install a package you dl'd or that is in the repositories? [00:58] Varc: Normally I do dpkg -L packagename | grep bin to check what executables the package came with [00:58] cavalierprime,yes it is checked, and ive pressed the remember curently running apps [00:58] Varc: a package is a combi of stuff; executables go to /usr/bin, configs to /etc, libs to /usr/lib and the rest to /usr/share/something [00:58] more or less [00:59] Noeltorious: Look, If i download a program, and i wanna install it from the terminal i write sudo apt-get intall application and the PackAge don't have the name of the program how can i find the executable? [00:59] Varc: Just type it's name into the terminal [01:00] jca1981: strange...you got all the latest greatest updates? other than that i am outta ideas for now [01:00] Varc: okay i think im finally there with you, this is a .deb file youve downloaded? [01:00] well if he used apt-get, then it's presumably in the repos [01:00] Pici: thanks this work!.. [01:00] cavalierprime,can we check somthing in some of the etc/ config files? [01:00] I know pudabidigada but if i don't know the name [01:00] Or the name is not correct [01:00] cavalierprime,mebe somthing is wrong there [01:01] Noeltorious: No, is just a example i don't have problems with software now [01:01] I wanna know more about how to install programs [01:01] Just that [01:02] jca1981: possible, but have to research it a bit [01:02] Varc: you don't install downloaded stuff with apt-get, you do 'apt-get install blah' and it will download and install blah; if you download a deb you do 'sudo dpkg -i file.deb' and with a .tar.gz it's complex [01:03] What!? I can download and install with the terminal? === danny_ is now known as DSevigny [01:03] Varc: well yeah. [01:03] cavalierprime,ok [01:03] Hmmm, Let me try ! [01:03] Varc: that's the whole idea, let apt-get find it all, don't download first from some obscure website [01:03] Varc: if your'e a newb, use the GUI tools(little easier)... system/admin/synaptic... or applications/software center [01:03] How to know the architecture of a process (32 or 64bits)? [01:04] rafaelsoaresbr: a process, or your OS? [01:05] KM0201: No, no i wanna study the temrinal [01:05] Terminal** [01:05] jca1981: you can look at sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces and add these if missing: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp [01:05] hi. i am trying to install some new fonts that i have downloaded and i have no idea how, can anyone help? [01:05] VCoolio: I see, is a exellent idea. I will try [01:05] malton: extract to .fonts [01:05] Varc: well thats fine, in due time.. you gotta learn how to use the OS... [01:06] malton: double clic in the font [01:06] KM0201, the same way Windows Task Manager. [01:06] rafaelsoaresbr: huh? [01:06] VCoolio: do i have to update hte system somehow after i do that? [01:06] KM0201: I like design Programs and i am in the Bug Squad of Ubuntu but i really really wanna study the Terminal [01:06] what exactly does KMS do beside providing a nicer splash screen/bootup? does it provide any performence boosts? thanks [01:06] Varc: you're in the bug squad and you didn't know how to use apt-get? [01:07] ok, i see. when i double clicked it asked if i want to install it [01:07] rofl === newbie is now known as Guest20847 [01:07] KM0201: I only find bugs [01:07] don't bite the newbies [01:07] thanks VCoolio [01:07] Howdy all [01:07] rafaelsoaresbr: system/admin/sytem monitor might be what you want [01:07] <_Synergy_> What is the command to see what version of linux I am on (full details) uname ? dash something? [01:07] rww: trying not to, but that just strikes me as incredibly odd [01:07] _Synergy_: uname -a [01:07] that is odd but not impossible i guess lol [01:07] _Synergy_: lsb_release -a for the Distro version [01:08] cavalierprime, interfaces looks like this: auto lo [01:08] iface lo inet loopback [01:08] iface eth0 inet static [01:08] address 192.168.10.222 [01:08] netmask 255.255.255.0 [01:08] gateway 192.168.10.1 [01:08] jca1981: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:08] KM0201: BugSquad doesn't have a lot of requirements. [01:08] rww: i woud say "clearly" but that woud sound condescending.... [01:08] _Synergy_: man uname will explain all you need to know above and beyond uname -a [01:08] VCoolio: it says that the install failed [01:09] Thanks rww and KM0201 xD [01:10] malton: put in .fonts and then 'fc-cache -rv' or logout and back in; but how did you install and why did it fail? error message? [01:11] Well, i try and this work. I will to study more the Linux command's. Thansk a lot guys [01:11] Thanks** [01:12] VCoolio: when i clicked on the font in the .fonts folder (that i made) it opened a window with a preview of the font and a button on the bottom. when i clicked the button it greyed out and the text on the button changed to "font failed" [01:12] malton: just open openoffice or something and see if you can use the font [01:13] ok [01:13] cavalierprime,adding auto eth solved it :) [01:13] malton: if it's like /home/malton/.fonts/font.ttf it should be found [01:13] eth0 [01:14] jca1981: sweet [01:14] hi all, small question. I made a directory ~/bin that I want to put permission unneeded scripts into. How do I add the directory to my PATH? [01:14] is there a processing optimizer program for ubuntu? [01:14] xil: just login again, and it will be in your path (the default ~/.profile has a clause for ~/bin) [01:16] cavalierprime, Thanks [01:17] jca1981: np [01:18] jrib: oh lucky me for picking that directory then, haha, thanks [01:19] Have a system working, but every time it boots, I get ... (no X, no gdm) so I switch to tty1 and ''start gdm'' and it's fine. Clues on where to look to get gdm to start automatically?

SVG Editors: Inkscape, Karbon14 [01:23] hi [01:23] CJ23: hello [01:23] What is the name of the command to install ubuntu on the hard drive (I don't have a pen drive boot available, but want to do do a full install onto a thumb drive)? [01:24] not with casper, not live. But a full install [01:24] ThOr101: just burn the image¿ [01:24] hello my friend installed ubuntu for me but it looks like windows vista [01:24] is there anyway to change the theme? [01:24] natalie, What? [01:24] I don't want to boot the ISO, I want to boot the OS, natively from the drive. [01:24] natalie: system>prefs>appearence [01:24] my friend was supposed to change my computer from xp to ubuntu because linux cant get viruss [01:25] natalie: right click on the desktop and click change desktop backgound and then choose the theme tab [01:25] MS not has free virus protection lol [01:25] natalie: actually that is incorrect. OS/2 can't get viruses [01:25] NixGeek: i don't see that option [01:25] Linux CAN get viruses [01:25] now* [01:25] i see personalize should i click that? [01:25] ThOr101: but it doesn't... [01:25] Th0r101 Are you really suggesting OS/2? === zacwhite15 is now known as coopmeister123 [01:26] linux CAN get viruses? [01:26] natalie: I think he actually installed vista (or you booted into vista) [01:26] my friend said it was impossible [01:26] Pudabudigada: Dude, that was a nice OS at the time. I just tossed my install disk last month. [01:26] NixGeek: no he said it was only a theme [01:26] natalie: only if the end user is stupid [01:26] Pudabudigada: It was quirky, but a pretty stable OS. [01:26] plus my friend works for a software company so i got ubuntu for really cheap [01:26] Will temoparily deleting my swap partiiton be okay to do if I somehow specify to allot a new partition as a swap [01:26] Th0r101 Really, why did everyone hate it? [01:27] natalie: you can download ubuntu for free from ubuntu.com [01:27] xangua: i don't think so [01:27] So let me ask the question this way... When someone boots a live version of ubuntu, an icon on the desktop will allow you to install to the hard drive. What is the name of that application? [01:27] and really works hard at letting a virus hit it. I don't know the new count but there are only a handful of viruses that *could* affect linux in the wild [01:27] it's like $50 [01:27] Pudabudigada: Because it wasn't windows, and windows is what they were used to [01:27] natalie: nope, ubuntu is free [01:27] natalie, You got ripped [01:27] trust me my friend is a computer genius i think he would know [01:27] ThOr101: are you refering to wubi¿¿ i don't like it [01:27] natalie: if you payed for it, you got scammed [01:27] natalie: 1, your friend can lie 2, ubunut is free 3, linux can get viruses, it's just noone targets linux, windows is a much easier and more succeptable target with many more users [01:28] Actually OpenSource...but lets not split hairs here. [01:28] natalie, I think he may have installed windows [01:28] xangua: Nope. Boot a live version of Ubuntu (so you are using it) and on the desktop is an icon to "Install 10.10" [01:28] !malware [01:28] natalie: Please don't waste our time here. [01:28] Hey, hey, Linux CAN'T have viruses right? [01:28] hey whats about? [01:29] Varc: well, it can... [01:29] Varc: of course it can [01:29] !virus | Varc [01:29] Varc: any computer system can [01:29] Varc: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [01:29] but cant do nothing [01:29] Varc: Linux _can_ get viruses if you install untrusted software. [01:29] Varc in practicality, you'll probably never see one. [01:29] Technically, it is more likely that Linux/Ubuntu would get a trojan than a virus, but really, we're just splitting rabits at this point. [01:29] Pudabudigada: exactly [01:29] ThOr101, You'd better eat them! [01:29] So, is possible but is very difficult have one right? [01:30] Varc: not difficult, but unlikely [01:30] Pudabudigada: I've never had rabit (that I can recall) is it any good? [01:30] so what? [01:30] Varc: you'd have to be pretty dumb. [01:30] america is stupid [01:30] hello world! [01:30] Varc: you can only get a virus by basically installing a malious package. other then you are set. all the packages in the software channels are safe, obviously [01:30] ThOr101, I can't remember, We have one in the freezer, if I see you again, I'll let you know! [01:31] africa don't trust their systems :) [01:31] dreamer000: stop trolling [01:31] wat is irc? [01:31] laesher: this [01:31] !irc | laesher [01:31] laesher: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [01:31] dreamer000: this channel is for the discussion of ubuntu support only, take that somewhere else [01:31] * mellin wonders where in the heck some of these folks come from..sheesh [01:31] lol [01:31] ^ [01:31] So, this OS can have but this can do sometinhg like in windows? [01:32] so its kindda like multiplayer notepad ? [01:32] Varc: you can actually get Windows viruses to work in Linux [01:32] ubiquity [01:32] Varc: it's more trouble than it's worth [01:32] laesher: indeed [01:32] oh no, here we go... [01:32] Varc: it's really funny though [01:32] Varc: Google is a wonderful search engine! If you want to learn more about viruses in linux then use it. This channel is really here to support each other and learn how to better use Ubuntu linux [01:33] B E S T I R C - CHANNEL ? [01:33] so my PC boots into the ubuntu logo, no graphics, I then switch to tty1, and start gdm and all is cool. Any idea how to get GDM to start itself? [01:33] mellin: true, sorry for that [01:33] i am failing to compile filebech.. missing libtecla.h .. is there a pkg for available for that? [01:33] !best > Guest9167 [01:33] Guest9167, please see my private message [01:34] xangua: ubiquity was what I was/am looking for. [01:34] thx [01:34] actually this seems like a cool channel looks like its even helpful at times >.< /grin [01:35] ahem oh yeah now remember the question I wanted to ask. I checked to see if Eclipse is installed which it is. I want to use it for web development, but don't know the name of the executable file? Anyone? [01:35] laesher: we try.. :) [01:35] laesher: heheh === WXZ1 is now known as WXZ [01:35] hello [01:36] mellin: eclipse, but its also in the application menu [01:36] I added some custom application launchers, but for some reason everytime I reboot one of my custom application launcher doubles and one of them disappears [01:36] can anyone tell me how to get my printer to work from this system [01:37] acicula: That was what I tried, but alt+F2 didn't execute it. I checked the software center and it shows installed...hmmmm [01:37] and I don't see it in the menu?? [01:37] owner: system > administration > printer [01:37] mellin: what did you install? [01:37] wxz the diver will not load [01:38] mellin: odd, try opening a console and typing eclipse, hit tab and see what comes up [01:38] owner: you click add right? [01:38] KM0201: Nothing, I was asking after trying to execute Eclipse and it failed what name I should try to execute..which I had already done...it doesn't show in the menu either [01:38] yes but when it starts the setup it says dianoes failure [01:39] acicula: Ok will do thanks all! [01:39] mellin: eclipse ? it's case sensitive [01:40] owner: so you click add, select your printer, then click forward and it says "diagnosis failure"? [01:40] KM0201: Ok "find / name=eclipse" didn't match up anything..I'm just going to apt-get it and see what transpires.... [01:40] mellin: hmm. ok [01:41] i guess ubiquity only works from a live boot. [01:41] WXZ: Yes I can't get passed that point. I was told to add updates and it should work but it still does not [01:41] hi [01:41] owner: what kind of printer do you have? [01:41] Generic question: is it possible to determine (from a program side) if the screen session that is active is looking at the screen session that the program's running on? [01:41] acicula: Also this didn't run the executable... [01:42] WXZ: HP deskjet 2050 all in one [01:42] actually; withdrawn. [01:43] does the platypus have wings? [01:43] mellin: in a terminal type: dpkg -L eclipse :that will list all the files it installed. something in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin .. probably has the bin for it [01:43] razieliyo: NO [01:43] How can I figure out why Ubuntu software center thought eclipse was installed. Because it wasn't. I just got it ;-) [01:43] any clue why bash won't tab complete everything? for example, if i want to unzip something that doesn't end in .zip.. say i wget it and its extensionaless [01:43] it wont let me tab complete the name [01:43] owner: did you install hplip? [01:43] hroberts, what about... membranes? [01:44] bastidrazor: Ok thanks that is a new command for me to commit to memory. I will use that in the future to save bandwidth. Thanks a bunch! [01:44] razieliyo: how does this relate to #ubuntu? [01:44] owner: for hp printer, apt-get install hplip [01:44] razieliyo: what do you mean by membranes? === slax00 is now known as kayseone [01:44] ok, I got nothing [01:44] WXZ; what is hplip? I dont think so [01:44] I got in the wrong channel [01:44] shmup: I thought tab completion only works for files already on your system locally. [01:44] is there anyone here who is good with grub2 who can help me with an issue? [01:44] hroberts, just ask [01:44] shmup: it matches files based on extensions [01:45] acicula, i thought so. hm, i remember having a vps before, elsewhere.. [01:45] owner: ot [01:45] and it'd tab complete these, though [01:45] no problem [01:45] i wonder if something could be configured in the bashrc [01:45] owner: it's a package which add support for HP printers [01:45] shmup: you can configure the behaviour [01:45] hroberts, whats up? [01:45] can I use SCP to grab a whole folder? [01:45] hroberts, I have had several problems with grub2, so I may help [01:45] load proxy [01:45] adds support* [01:45] daniel: scp -r [01:45] DarkStar1: ^^ [01:45] What is the alt tab equivalent for the "workspace" [01:45] rww: Thanks [01:46] rww: what is that command for? [01:47] well I have tried this before: here goes, I install ubuntu server 10.10 on an older compaq presario 1600 series running a hardware raid 5, I did an update and then an upgrade, rebooted the server at least 5 times, I then did a dist-upgrade to replace the 2.6.35.22 kernel with a 2.6.35.24 kernel, now no matter which kernel I select the server will not boot.... [01:47] WXZ: Oh how do I do I get that? [01:47] now for the fun part... [01:47] daniel: sorry, i mistabbed [01:47] owner: system > administration > synaptic package manager [01:47] owner: I too have a hp 3 in one printer. Once hplip was installed and I went to add the printer after a short pause it found the printer on my network. I realize you may have it connected directly however, but it should work almost exactly the same [01:48] owner: then quick search hplip and check it off, then click the "apply" button (3rd button from the left) [01:48] If I launch grub and while at the menu I select "c" and manually linux the vmlinuz-2.6.35-24 kernal and then I initrd the file, I can press esc and select the kernel and it loads everytime. but I have to do this everytime the server reboots or it will not load [01:48] :) [01:49] hroberts, you can try to chroot your system within a live distribution [01:49] and grub-mkconfig creates your configuration file [01:49] WXZ: 10-4 trying that now [01:50] or grub-install --recheck /dev/sdX could work [01:50] Hi, I want to move, or merge perhaps two directories of log files. folder A contains folders with log1 log2 and folder b contains log3 log4 etc.. Is there an easy way to merge everything into folder a? [01:50] any suggestions on how to modify grub so it will load. I can pastebin the file, just let me know which is the correct file. There is no grub.conf in grub2 [01:50] hroberts, you could reinstall GRUB [01:51] I'm Chinese! [01:51] Datz: move the contents of folder b into folder a? [01:51] yes [01:51] Datz: yes, do that... [01:51] is it possible to install ubuntu on a hard drive that's already formatted? [01:52] jrib: well, there are many folders within folders too [01:52] w1n5ton0, it is [01:52] * mellin appreciated the "dpkg -L" command ;-) [01:52] How would you partition it? [01:52] owner: how'd it go? [01:52] w1n5ton0: Of course [01:52] jrib: do what? [01:52] just swap and ext4? [01:52] w1n5ton0, yes [01:53] with ubuntu installer you can do it [01:53] How much swap is recommended for a 750 gb hard drive? [01:53] razieliyo: grub-install -recheck is not a part of grub 2 [01:53] maybe you should reformat again [01:53] Datz: well in the example you gave, you can just move the contents of folder b into folder a since there is no overlap. [01:53] Pudabudigada: what is the easiest way to reinstall grub? [01:54] http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html [01:54] razieliyo: I have reloaded this machine 6 times now [01:54] hroberts, I think it is [01:54] winstone: It's a function of memory, not disk size. How much memory do you have? [01:54] Datz: but if there are folders within folders, possibly overlapping, then maybe you want to use rsync or cp [01:54] jrib: if I do "mv old/ new/" and there are folders multiple folders of files in old/ and new/ if will merge them? [01:54] ah [01:54] WXZ: got the hplip done now just got to check if the printer will load. Thanks a bunch! [01:54] Datz: no, mv will not merge anything [01:54] jrib: so it is possible with cp? [01:54] hroberts, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 [01:54] Datz: sure [01:55] hroberts, --recheck worked for me when I had problems with grub2 [01:55] I right-clicked a .iso and popped a CD-R in my burner, but "Write to Disc" states "No disc available, Please replace the disc with a supported CD or DVD." What could be wrong? [01:55] thanks Ill try reinstalling [01:55] jrib: so just "cp old/ new/" [01:55] gdm doesn't start when I boot. Any ideas? [01:55] Datz: that's probably not what you want to do... [01:55] humm [01:56] Datz: that would give you new/old/ [01:56] ah [01:56] cp /old/* new/ [01:56] ? [01:56] er [01:56] idk :p [01:56] Datz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:56] lewoco: Are you sure the drive is a burner, are you sure the medium wasn't already burned? [01:56] Datz: except cp only operates on files [01:56] cp -R ? [01:56] so any tools to make ubuntu skim down the effects so the graphics card will go faster? [01:57] cp -r old new [01:57] Datz: sure, I usually just use -a [01:57] ok, I'll look into those options, thanks [01:57] does anyone know how to test if a device is mounted? (for the purposes of a bash script).. ? [01:57] quattle, 100% sure on both counts. I burnt a CD with the burner half an hour ago using media from the same reel as the current disc in the drive. [01:57] moses_, You can use the display customisation options to turn off effects, or try a lighter environment such as xfce [01:57] Datz: and you should probably use -i in case there happen to be files that do have the same name [01:58] pickled: try #bash [01:58] Just because one disk worked doesn't mean they are all good [01:58] lewoco: do you have two drives (maybe it's looking at the other one?) [01:58] quattle, Only 1 CD drive [01:59] lewoco, bad CD? [01:59] quattle, I tried a second CD, no difference. [02:00] Pudabudigada, is that a WM? [02:00] moses_, Window manager? [02:00] lewoco: there is space to write on the HDD (not that it should need it if you're burning an ISO) [02:00] yeha [02:00] moses_, nvm === roaming is now known as INFURNO [02:01] moses_, I've had a long week [02:01] i have a bazillion popups with "Out of Space" and a pictur eof the ubuntu cloud [02:01] on upgrade to 10.10 [02:01] quattle, hmm, I selected Brasero from the right-click menu instead of "Write to Disc...". The dialog that popped up looked the same, except that it now recognises the CD-R. [02:01] they keep opening and closing [02:01] how do i stop that [02:01] moses_, WM? [02:01] quattle, Probably just a bug. [02:01] lewoco: I like brasero, what were you using before? [02:01] is there a way to ghost an entire filesystem to an external drive? [02:02] wha? [02:02] dd ? [02:02] w1n5ton0: partimage [02:02] jrib: doesn't seem to be working [02:02] thanks [02:02] quattle, Like I said, I selected "Write to Disc..." but the resulting dialog looked identical to brasero so I think it's just another right-click menu option that eventually runs the same software. [02:02] Datz: pastebin commands and output that show that [02:02] * Datz uses verbose option [02:03] ok [02:03] lewoco: ok, whatever works! [02:03] hi all.. any apache experts out there? can't figure out how to get utf-8 issues fixed... apparently my server is sending xml encoded at utf-8 but server says US-ASCII :our feed appears to be encoded as "UTF-8", but your server is reporting "US-ASCII" [02:03] oin #ltsp [02:03] <.< [02:03] No ext4 support [02:04] I did sudo grub-update and now it loaded without an issue [02:05] w1n5ton0: what do you mean by "ghost"... you can copy the whole file hierarcy locally or remotely with rsync. [02:05] thanks guys for your help [02:05] say I just said cp / /dev/sdb [02:05] hroberts, I've been trying to find that command for ages! [02:05] quattle, what about using dd [02:05] w1n5ton0: but partimage docs then point you to fsarchiver :) [02:06] Pudabudigada: the correct command is sudo update-grub [02:06] w1n5ston0: you would have to partition /dev/sdb, make a file system there, and then mount it somewhere, then cp would work. System/Administration/Disk Utility should guid you through it. [02:06] hroberts, I kept forgetting the hyphen [02:07] Screw it [02:07] I'll just back up my home folder and copy it to a fresh install [02:07] jrib: I should probably do something like: cp -ai folder1/* folder2/ , to indicate copying the contents of folder1, and not the folder itself, correct? [02:07] DEAD_BEEF: sure dd would make a copy, but what does he want to do with it? With dd, he needs a destination of exactly the same size to place the file system there. [02:07] Datz: yes [02:07] ah, that's where I went wrong :p [02:08] thanks [02:11] ltsp-build-client error [02:12] hey ubuntu korean server where?

[02:50] is there a way I can repair the install without loosing my repos [02:50] CamonZ: I would do a man apt-get and it should list an option to refresh or check for what is gone and re-install from that.

[03:43] /join#erc [03:43] hello you [03:44] -_- [03:44] uRock, xchat-gnome vs... xchat-kde? [03:44] the only thing i don't like bout xchat, is the icon... people see it on my desktop, and they think its some sort of pornographic chat program, so i had to change the icons for it.

[03:59] nope! [04:00] etc/init [04:00] Nope! [04:00] Have to use a text editor in between [04:00] use the good old keyboard [04:00] Hilarie: right-click might work [04:00] Nope, its freakin wierd [04:00] Hilarie: try highlighting what you want to copy/paste then hit "Control + C" then go to termina, right click and paste [04:01] Hilarie: or live in the now, and install xchat [04:01] i think its the source program.. [04:01] nope, again, its freakin wierd, workaround---> open text editor as a go between [04:01] (what i said above works w/ xchat) [04:01] bashed: from memory i would guess that diff can't do that, there might be some stuff to do that, but you have to define the problem a bit better. the same lines at the same offsets in the file, longish parts (paragraphs) that are in both files (no matter where in the files)...? out of curiosity: what exactly are you trying to do? [04:01] I am not doing Xchat till you get my facebook working, its not showing up under accounts [04:01] ubuntu Rocks!

[04:03] DaGeek247: it does have a gazillion features, which really aren't necessary for the most part [04:03] Does it have !timebomb feature? [04:04] good day [04:04] whats a timebomb feature?... [04:04] !timer [04:04] !timebomb [04:04] and it leaves the average new user wondering whats really needed === Mel is now known as Guest63359 [04:04] It doesn't work here :( [04:04] skybound: I have two crash log files, no paragraphs just lines.

[04:10] I have like three screens in eyefinity [04:10] bashed: 'comm' (in coreutils) but that needs sorted input files; maybe take a look at 'sdiff'; finally you got write something in perl (or whatever script) language. should be rather easy (iterate through lines of A storing into a hash-map/set; then iterate through B and only print lines with a known hash)... sorry, no definite answer [04:11] awanti_, there are lots of howto pages on how to do that [04:11] Hilarie: you really shouldn't be root.. ubuntu uses sudo [04:11] Requires installation of untrusted packages>>> libsexy2 xchat xchat-common [04:11] Keypad: system setting screens [04:11] No option given to override [04:11] Hilarie: i wonder why you keep getting these untrusted packages warning. [04:11] why does it show everything as being untrusted? [04:11] |ritztech|: yes I think you can they just need to be setup on different ports to prevent conflict [04:11] You are sekretly trying to hack me [04:12] yes [04:12] Hilarie, the cmd gives you an option. try sudo apt-get install xcht [04:12] Hilarie: negative ghostrider [04:12] skybound: thanks, I think i will go with a perl script [04:12] <|ritztech|> but icant change the server of course ( i can access 2 openvpns on my company laptop/ windows box _ === jay_why_bee__ is now known as jay_why_bee [04:12] can u give me the links.. i am new to Ubuntu (i don't have in depth knowledge). plz [04:13] ive had THAT hapn to me before. so annoying.

[04:15] jay_why_bee: no, totally separate programs [04:15] jay_why_bee no [04:15] Hilarie: click settings/repositories [04:15] kk [04:15] @km0201 Yar [04:15] they be diffy [04:16] Hilarie: on the first tab.. check all the boxes at the top(source code might have just a ine beside it) [04:16] Hilarie: then clcik the "Other software" tab.. and check all the boxes [04:16] anyone want to recommend a java runtime environment that isn't going to consume 90% of my resources? [04:16] okay [04:16] K [04:17] Hilarie: after you do that, click close, and you'll get a message to "reload".... [04:17] Doesn't google have a JRE? [04:17] click the reload button [04:17] @KM0201 K [04:17] Hilarie: after it reloads [04:17] fluendo ftw [04:17] hey guys, just got a second machine with 10.04 on it, got it hooked up to my tv over hdmi... only problem is, it's cutting off all 4 sides of the screen :( any ideas? i'm 90% positive the tv doesn't have a zoo mode enabled but I currently can't find the remote.... [04:17] Hilarie: after it reloads, in the upper right, search for xchat [04:17] Ahrotahntee, JREs tend to take alot of resources [04:18] web cam how to get it to work? [04:18] @epidemic sounds like a resolution problem [04:18] Hilarie: and you shoud see a package there called "xchat".... right click it, and choose "Mark for installation" [04:18] smw: I noticed, but is there a widely accepted 'best' ? [04:18] Which one KM0201? [04:18] Hilarie: just 'xchat' [04:18] QUESTION: Is there a way that I can BOOT an encrypted virtualized copy of Ubuntu on a flash drive? [04:18] Hilarie: yeah, but it's at 1080 and it's worked with another computer just fine before [04:18] Hilarie: after you mark it, it will want you to mark some other packages [04:18] mark those, and then click apply [04:19] @epidemic try 720 and see what happens [04:19] what does this mean "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable" [04:20] JayPhill89: means the program has a dependency, that is not available in the repositories [04:20] Hilarie: in 720 everything gets a little bigger and I can see a little more of the borders, but still missing 3/4 of the bottem and top toolbars [04:20] the dependency listed is libnautilus-extension1. i believe thats already installed [04:20] Bam! [04:20] Hello, how do I uninstall #kubuntu so I can go back to pure gnome [04:20] julia_23: I havn't even figured out how to boot an unecrypted usb flash on virtualbox, If you find a way I would love to know [04:20] noBam [04:21] JayPhill89: i have libnautilus-extension1 installed [04:21] chris_: kde is like a windows virus, it really never goes away [04:22] sacarlson: what about with ESXi ? [04:22] bleh, /nick Hilarie isn't working [04:22] Ok, I guess I am reinstalling Ubuntu then I guess [04:22] I got this error http://codepad.org/AU4nLGEy for run a software that I can't understand it.i mean it said the lib you used is X and you have X too . but I don't know why my software doesn't work [04:23] !puregnome | chris_ [04:23] chris_: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [04:23] hilarie_: try "/ghost hilary" [04:23] Hilarie is already in use [04:24] how to disable the "someone has left" messeges?? [04:24] !windows [04:24] For discussion on Microsoft software, or help with same, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubottu equivalents [04:24] in xchat [04:24] rofl [04:24] web cam view ? [04:24] pooltable, plug it in [04:25] julia_23: You have the USB key encrypted with something like truecrypt? [04:25] and use cheese [04:25] julia_23: never tried it, I just read about it and still not quite sure [04:25] pooltable, cheese should get in working fine [04:25] QUESTION: Anybody here know how to boot from a Virtualized copy of Ubuntu? Doesn't necessarily need to be encrypted. I have an empty USB key with nothing on it, no encryption or anything yet. [04:26] i have it plug it use ing camorama like it go go faster or use another program ? [04:26] you want ubuntu on the flash drive? [04:26] Julia you want a portable one, or virtualized? [04:26] @julia_23 [04:26] ? [04:26] Hi [04:26] So you want to boot via a virtualdisk file? [04:26] @czardoz On a portable flash drive that will function on any computer [04:26] you need the ubuntu ISO [04:26] and ubuntu on a system [04:27] Are you going to be doing this from windows or linux to set it up? [04:27] You don't need ubuntu to start it czardoz [04:27] too make a portable pendrive you do [04:27] *to [04:27] <|ritztech|> i tried to find a place to change kvpnc port 2222 for the other session. [04:27] unetbootin can help get ubuntu onto the usb [04:27] i have it plug it use ing camorama like it go go faster or use another program ? [04:28] No [04:28] <|ritztech|> and if i disconnect openvpn Session A and start Session B it works fine [04:28] julia_23: so booting up linux on a pendrive does not solve your problem? You need to boot into a virtual machine? [04:28] Universal USB anywhere [04:28] Allows you to install the ISO onto a USB [04:28] @hilarie_ from Ubuntu [04:28] from windows [04:29] Anyone here know of a storage place for older (outdated) packages for those who need to rollback ? [04:29] vat/cache/apt i think [04:29] *var [04:29] jay_why_bee: every system that I try boot from will try detect new hardware, no? [04:29] Correct [04:29] But them so will the Host OS that will boot your VM [04:30] KeyLimePi, var/cache/apt/archives [04:30] I see [04:30] @Julia_23 are you doing this from Windows or Ubuntu? [04:30] So there is no universal way to accomplish this? [04:30] Ubuntu [04:30] @hilarie ^ [04:30] then you can make a bootaable pendrive [04:31] asmalik: My machine kept these???? Wow! I never knew about this. It is my hope that I can roll back to a flashplayer that is not insane [04:31] czardoz: will this pendrive work on every computer I plug it into? [04:31] system>preferences>startup disk creator [04:31] yes it will [04:31] @julia_23 *most* computers at least [04:31] ^ thats more correct [04:31] okay, most is better than some [04:31] hehe [04:31] @Julia_23, I think you need to create a ubuntu booting USB drive, they see how far that takes you. [04:31] but you need the ISO [04:32] @julia_23 it may not detect all hardware on all systems, but it is really good for an OS that will run from a Live CD or USB drive. [04:33] exactly [04:33] will work for most of your pusrposes [04:33] *purposes [04:33] wonderful, being it usb, then it will save anything I download and install, correct? [04:33] provided you have space [04:33] then I can fairly easily clone the USB thumb drive to other sticks? [04:33] I use Ubuntu on my thumby and love it [04:33] @julia_23 plus I can't imagine how slow a system will be that will boot its HOST oS and its GUEST OS from 1 USB flash device. [04:34] no prblems saving nor installing programs and files [04:34] would there be a better choice than Ubuntu? I don't want to complicate things [04:34] @julia_23 : Pretty sure Ubuntu has a USB drive creating app. [04:34] nimblex is good too [04:34] that has access to the same sofware center, firefox, gwibber, pidgin..etc [04:34] Ubuntu is the best [04:34] oh...xubuntu [04:34] I am biased [04:34] will be faster [04:35] xubuntu? okay [04:35] puppy [04:35] slitaz [04:35] will give it a test, thanks folkx you are bloody awesome shit [04:35] i know [04:35] :D [04:35] lol [04:35] fedora [04:35] no way === hilarie_ is now known as Hillary [04:35] mousaka [04:35] !ohmy OS X === Hillary is now known as Hilarie_ [04:36] Someone took Hillary :( [04:36] hi everyone [04:36] !ohmy < julia_23 [04:36] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:36] hi [04:36] I need to know to how to secure home directory of each user logging as domain user [04:37] JPS, how do you mean? [04:37] I am having Linux Box which is on windows Domain [04:37] it is a broad subject [04:37] whenever any user logs in to linux box using user@domain [04:37] he/she is able to see home directories of other users also [04:37] I want to prevent it [04:38] by default they can see all, but that is easily changed [04:38] remove the x permission from /home [04:38] Someone took my nick! [04:38] hilarie_: flog them! [04:38] JPS, what czardoz said [04:38] jps, or use samba to configure it [04:39] bilarie, it was me [04:39] jps, but what czardoz said may be easier [04:39] uts just 1 command === hilarie_ is now known as uRock_Sucks [04:39] *its [04:39] chmod -x nameofdirectory [04:39] okay let me try by removing x permission [04:39] apt-get install DaGeek247 [04:39] in ths case, /home [04:40] <-------------------- [04:40] ? [04:40] lol [04:40] :-D [04:40] uFunny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [04:40] i dont that program name resrved yet. [04:41] can you write chmod for removing x-permission [04:41] czardoz: removing x bit will break things.. do chmod 700 instead [04:41] chmod 700 not working === mm11afk is now known as mackmoron11 [04:41] break?? [04:41] I don't even see Hilarie in the channel [04:41] JPS: 'not working' is a bit vague [04:41] they only have to be logged into freenode [04:42] uRock_Sucks: jus cuz she's not in this channel, doesn't mean she isn't elsewhere on Freenode Freenode has a lot more channels than just #ubuntu [04:42] yup, there is #fedora [04:42] @bastidrazor: break? [04:42] but they don't allow talking [04:43] chmod o-x /home [04:43] ^ better still [04:43] czardoz: if the owner not execute the directory then you have broken things === uRock_Sucks is now known as Hilary [04:43] but if his server is suid, will make no difference [04:43] Hilary: there you go, register it, quick..lol [04:43] ty Hilary [04:43] !register [04:43] Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [04:43] how to register? [04:44] look up [04:44] its already registered [04:44] you go girl [04:44] did you register it, or someone else? [04:44] someone else [04:44] chmod 700 do not allows any user to access home directory [04:44] correct [04:44] you can [04:44] you are root [04:44] JPS: isn't that the point? [04:44] Hilary: what about two L's? === Hilary is now known as Hillary [04:45] nope === patrick is now known as Guest4955 [04:45] JPS: that would allow only the owner to access it. [04:45] Hillary: well, i'm out of ideas [04:45] bastidrazor, he/she was asking [04:45] sir ! i want that only that each user should be able to view his/her own home directory instead of having permission to view other users' files [04:45] The Hilarie wasn't registered, and I don't think I can register it w/o actually having that nickname [04:46] Hillary: probably, but i thought you said when you tried to register, it said it was registered? [04:46] Is there a way in Xchat to watch two channels side by side, instead of the sidebar-thing? [04:46] is this #freenode now? [04:46] nope [04:46] @jay [04:46] kk [04:46] is there any way to achieve this? [04:46] I hadn't tried to register Hilarie yet, but I didn't get a message saying it had been taken either, I just can't change my nick to Hilarie [04:46] JPS: each /home/user1 /home/user2 /home/user3 should be chmod 700 .. that will prevent user1 from viewing user2 and 3 from viewing.. [04:46] jay_why_bee: right click a channel and choose "detatch" and it will give it its own window [04:47] JPS: i've told you twice and given you the exact command. [04:47] Hello! If anyone has any questions about booting Ubuntu, I'm here! [04:48] i tried that command with sudo [04:48] k? [04:48] km0201 I don't appear to have that choice when I right-click the channel in the sidebar [04:48] Can i boot by hitting the power button? [04:48] now logged in user is having message that he/she can access the home dir === Hillary is now known as The_Real_Hilarie [04:48] jay_why_bee: are you using xchat, or xchat-gnome ? [04:48] JPS, you can not run that one as root [04:48] xchat-gnome [04:49] hmm....me off [04:49] I just did it [04:49] any remedy now? [04:49] now root owns the folders [04:49] instead of the user [04:49] jay_why_bee: hang on, i gave you instructions for xchat [04:49] iFold [04:49] Anyone have any idea why an ipod classic auto-ejects itself immediately after I plug it in?Lets say I have a 6 core processor, using a windows machine. Am I really going to be using all of the cores? The last I checked there was a limit to how many cores software (at the time) could use. [04:49] uRock: chmod will not change the ownership. [04:49] now you have to run choown on each directory [04:50] just write a script [04:50] hi. how do I mount the 2nd partition of a multi-track DVD? [04:50] for each ? [04:50] yes [04:50] write a script [04:50] will make it easier [04:50] Are there a lot of differences between xchat and xchat-gnome? [04:50] I have more than 2000 dirs [04:50] with sudo it will [04:50] I think [04:50] maybe [04:50] Loshki, try both [04:51] JPS: and your OS is Ubuntu? [04:51] Loshki: Not sure... just now trying xchat-gnome [04:51] Yes , its ubuntu 10.04 [04:51] write a script or use wildcars [04:52] *wildcards [04:52] Can I save files while running the trial of Ubuntu? [04:52] JPS: 2000 directories or 2000 users? [04:52] Where would I start looking to try and get my mic up and running [04:52] how do I download firefox thru terminal [04:52] 2000 users as such [04:52] 2000 directories ====> 2000 users === SquishyNotHere is now known as squishy [04:52] woops [04:53] jay_why_bee: looks like that might be one of those features removed from xchat-gnome [04:53] yup, looks that way [04:53] km0201: Thanks for the help.... I am installing the Xhat now to try [04:53] jay_why_bee: ok. [04:53] jay_why_bee: now you can be l33t, like everyone else that is here [04:54] The_Real_Hilarie: probably sound preferences? [04:54] uRock: jay_why_bee: google says here http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12239/ that the goal of xchat-gnome is to be simpler than xchat... [04:54] From looking at sound preferences ubuntu doesn't understand my sound card [04:54] I will now repeat my question: Can I save files while running the trial of Ubuntu? [04:54] KM0201: Great... anything to camo my N00b-ness [04:54] its saying 2 outputs, in input, I have 2 outs, 2 ins [04:54] Sharpclaw: save them where? [04:55] The_Real_Hilarie: is this a laptop? [04:55] aye, and an array mic [04:56] The_Real_Hilarie: try on the input tab, changing the options in "connector" and seeing if the input level starts moving if you talk, as you change it === jay is now known as Guest20110 [04:57] JPS: you could cd /home then sudo chmod 700 * .. that will make all directories in /home rwx by the owner only. that will solve your issue. [04:57] nixnewbie: i was getting concerned [04:59] @KM0201 all I managed to do was lose my audio completely for a minute, the utility shows no input though [04:59] It's all greyed out [04:59] The_Real_Hilarie: hmm. [04:59] dude [04:59] im in live disk [04:59] I have line in, and microphone [04:59] now, found it [04:59] nixnewbie: ?... whast wrong [04:59] And neither of them work, it works in Vista === Guest20110 is now known as jay_why_bee [05:00] is it safe to ln -s a directory inside a chroot jail to an external fs, for instance, a directory inside /var/www ? [05:00] i do startx and it says no screens [05:00] ' [05:00] i cant get bvack into gui [05:00] just console [05:00] when i boot it loads console and stop gui [05:01] when i do startx it says fatle server erro no screens [05:01] how to install firefox thru terminal [05:01] when i hit ctrl alt f7 it does not load gui [05:01] x server is fuged [05:01] nixnewbie: can i pm you?

[05:04] when dl firefox I get the following Processing triggers for menu ... [05:04] Errors were encountered while processing: [05:04] firmware-b43-installer [05:04] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) === mackmoron11 is now known as mm11zzzzzzzzzzzz [05:04] jfvineyardjr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:05] schultza: Ubuntu does not therefore it is outside the scope of this channel. [05:05] kthomas_vh_: I think it should be safe. Since the symbolic link really just contains text, from inside the jail it should be as though you typed 'cd link-destination' i.e. it won't necessarily put you in the directory you want [05:05] kthomas_vh_: i was under the impression that softlinks can't cross a chroot jail? hardlinks should, but that is one of the ways to break out of a root-jail; anyway "chroot is not and never has been a security tool" [http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Abusing_chroot] === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:06] Loshki, skybound Y, it has to be a hardlink [05:06] Wow. Talk about a blatant off-topic. Thanks for the info. === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest37259 [05:07] schultza Linux Mint Debian Edition uses rolling releases, but its debian-based [05:07] Thank you. [05:07] Does anyone know how to remove letterboxing from my display? [05:07] KM0201, have you recived my message? [05:08] the main Mint release is still Ubuntu-based, but they are moving towards Debian [05:08] it is far better to link *into* the jail, quite obviously [05:08] Sharpclaw: yeah, sorry, got tied up with something else [05:08] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:09] km0201, That's ok. As long as you got it. (Took eternety to type up.) [05:09] schultza: you are welcome to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [05:09] lol [05:09] I did not know that channel existed. Thank you, bastidrazor. [05:09] km0201: I think I like the stock "XChat" better than "xchat-gnome". Thanks. [05:10] jay_why_bee: yeah... even though its' got a gazillion features, you don't have to use them al. [05:10] otherwise skybound, my user will not have ability to use chroot from inside the jail [05:10] jay_why_bee: i agree. [05:11] I got this error while install E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [05:11] How do I install Tor [05:11] Why does my WHOIS say that my server is bear.freenode.net in LONDON?!

I tried changing the nvidia x server settings, but can;t get to activate both the monitors at the same time [05:51] busybee: is one a tv? [05:53] Hey guys... I removed a folder from /etc then later decided to re-install the same package, now when I choose to re-install it, it does so with a number of errors, I have run apt-get -f install to try fixing it but no avail, is there anyway to order apt to re-install a package 100% from scratch as if it never has been installed before? [05:53] izinucs: its a lcd monitor [05:54] busybee: and the other is a laptop? [05:54] Carsten-: package manager can mark a package for complete removal [05:54] where in freenode would i ask about htacess/htpasswd problems? [05:54] LostPenguin: How? [05:54] izinucs: Yup [05:55] or could i just ask here? [05:55] busybee: are you using nvidia-settings? [05:55] i'm thinking apache if that exists ~.~ [05:55] LostPenguin: I tried purge.. didn't work. [05:55] ifpackage manager gui [05:55] izinucs: Yes I do [05:55] *package manager gui [05:55] LostPenguin: I don't have gui, I'm on command line. [05:55] Is it not possible to connect to a windows share with the "Connect to server..." dialog and not use a password? Just trying to setup a "guest" share. [05:55] Carsten-, I didn't see your issue - but be aware the purge / Complete Remove - will NOT touch settings in your home folder (if there are any) [05:55] busybee: is that what you've been using trying to activate the 2nd monitor? [05:56] izinucs: Yes [05:56] ZykoticK9: So is there some method that removes **EVERYTHING**? [05:56] Carsten-, nothing will touch your home folder settings - you'd need to do that manually [05:57] Izinucs: nvidia settings overwrites the xorg.conf file in /etc. Is there something else I am supposed to do ? [05:57] busybee: how did you install the nvidia driver with the one in System>Admin>hardware drivers or did you do it manually after downloading from nvidia? [05:57] hey guys does anyone know much about busy box [05:57] Carsten: yes there is a command that removes everything but I'd avise to never do it... rm rf ~/* [05:57] or something like that [05:57] but dont do it === jmad980 is now known as jnotsomad980 [05:58] izinucs: i believe i did it from rpmfusion as a repo [05:58] not the actual source [05:58] ZykoticK9: Okay, well I removed it manually, then decided I wanted the package back now when I try to re-install it, I get a series of errors, telling me it's missing some dependancies etc. [05:59] Carsten-, dependencies are unrelated to any home folder settings [05:59] Carsten: if you need dependancies install the dependancies first then install the package you want to reinstall [05:59] Busybox embedded programming right? [05:59] or if you have synaptic open it up and filter to broken if your getting a broken error with the packages youre tring to download [05:59] busybee: I don't know that repo.. personally I use a PPA designed for ubuntu.. x-swat .. nvidia-settings when done right *will* create entries in xorg.conf.. initially there isn't anything in there because of the neuvou (sp?) driver and xrandr.. [05:59] trying** === jnotsomad980 is now known as jmad980 [06:01] izinucs: I just got the monitor yesterday. I will try installing from nvidia website [06:01] ZykoticK9: Ok, well the dep is a template text file.. The package in question is exim4, it's telling me /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template is missing, when trying to install the package exim4-config [06:01] busybee: could be that repo didn't configure the install correctly by disabling the opensource driver correctly.. x-swat will. you're in for a nightmare if you try from the nvidia website.. it's not like it was 2-3 releases ago when it was easy [06:01] I would be expecting that package would be the one to install that file. [06:01] Carsten-, sorry i have no idea what exim4 even is. Best of luck man. [06:02] It's an alternate MTA. [06:02] Hey, I was wondering if there is an easy way to defrag a ntfs file system from within ubuntu? [06:02] Carsten: cd to /etc/exim4 and create a blank file called exim4.conf that should allow you to install the program you need if not let me know [06:02] busybee, FYI RPMFusion is NOT for Ubuntu - don't try to use RPMs on Ubuntu (unless ABSOLUTELY necessary, and i doubt it ever would/should be) [06:02] needlez: Thanks I will try now [06:03] Carsten: you may also have to create the folder for the file /etc/exim4 [06:03] I got a question if someone has a min [06:03] hey there! [06:03] busybee: here's a how to.. http://www.unixmen.com/software/1365-nvidia-2601926-driver-for-linux-is-released-installation-instructions-and-ppa-included [06:04] wolfgurr: speak [06:04] I have a wuestion aswell...

It's a GUI front end to wine. [07:03] yup [07:03] ugh [07:03] this is really frustrating [07:03] goto applications [07:03] i use linux mint [07:03] :D [07:03] ubuntu software center [07:03] oh [07:03] my hardware doesn't support my monitor's native resolution [07:03] well, more like vesa doesn't [07:03] !mint | Joey_ [07:03] Joey_: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [07:03] play on linux works better if you install the advanced packages [07:04] ty zy [07:04] OMG [07:04] get ubuntu its better [07:04] google playonlinux though [07:04] so ubuntu i much better [07:04] :O [07:04] is [07:04] yes [07:04] wow, call of duty ecte ct [07:05] Joey_, ubuntu is very nice indeed [07:05] i tried linux because of nasty windows 7 bugs [07:05] xD [07:05] Joey_, i dropped win 7 its ok but nix is better [07:05] is there any way to get my plymouth splash and console ttys to be displayed at my monitor's native resolution (1600x900), just like before I activated the nvidia proprietary drivers? [07:06] angelsl, what version of ubuntu [07:06] 10.10 [07:06] angelsl, yes a script from webupd8 will do it http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html [07:06] ZykoticK9: plymouth is fixed, but it's not at the native res [07:07] which means my console ttys aren't either [07:07] angelsl, with that script you can set the native resolution [07:07] Joey_, you going to switch to ubuntu? ;) [07:07] ZykoticK9: not if vesa doesn't support it [07:07] hello all. I have an HP 1076nr netbook, with a broadcom chipset and i'm having some issues getting it working [07:07] yup [07:08] nice [07:08] but i want to know more of the basics in linux [07:08] im confused @_@ [07:08] angelsl, script will install a frame buffer of some sort - i get 1600x1200 with Propriety Nvidia driver now. [07:08] its a BCM4312 [07:08] ubuntu is for noobs [07:08] and pros [07:08] how about SUSE? [07:08] i use linux mint :O [07:08] Joey_, what are you confused about [07:08] many things [07:08] ubuntu will reconize your hardware better than others [07:09] and its easier to use [07:09] very true [07:09] ive done alot of research before ditching windows and installing ubuntu [07:09] ZykoticK9: the script just tweaks grub/plymouth settings to use a framebuffer [07:10] it depends on whether your resolution is supported or not [07:10] in my case, it isn't [07:10] so i either deal with a horrible upscaled image, or try to fix it [07:10] angelsl, in that case, i have no idea... works great for me, YMMV === notjackiechan is now known as ekx__ [07:11] hi, i have fedora on lvm partition, which is luks encrypted. ubuntu's grub does not recognise it. what can b done? === ekx__ is now known as notjackiechan [07:11] i have installed lvm2 and cryptsetup [07:12] im just running Linux Mint in virtualbox :P [07:12] if i want to have some type of shared accounts between a network of machines, is LDAP and NFS /home my best bet, or are there alternatives? [07:13] Joey_, lol try uubuntu live cd [07:13] ! [07:13] meltingwax, only method that I'm personally aware of - I've never played with LDAP though, my basic research into it found it to be non-trivial that's for sure. Best of luck. [07:14] what browser do all use? [07:14] but i like the interface of linux mint [07:14] :D [07:14] your choice man:) [07:15] linuxnoob73, this isn't the place for such "survey" like questions - you'll get 1000 different answers. There is no best anything, see the !best factoid. [07:15] but i want to play online game.. OMG.. whatta decision [07:15] xD [07:15] ZykoticK9: thanks. i've been experimenting with it and am getting the same impression [07:15] are you really a noob or a pro.. :O [07:15] ZykoticK9, i did not ay whats the best [07:15] your very pro to me i guess [07:15] :) [07:15] i just asked what are you using [07:15] lol Joey_ im a geek [07:15] OMG [07:16] i guess i will try ubuntu.. :O [07:16] there is a substantial diffferance between hey whats the best browser to what browser you all use????? [07:16] Joey_, lol [07:16] Joey_, i'm sad to say this - but if gaming is you primary interest, stick to windows - or dual boot ;) [07:17] firefox...or w3m :D [07:17] w3m whats dat? [07:17] ill stick to safari [07:17] :P [07:17] terminal-based browser [07:17] lol Joey_ [07:17] chromium ftw [07:17] itsa mac i guess ROFL [07:17] hi, i have fedora on lvm partition, which is luks encrypted. ubuntu's grub does not recognise it. i also installed lvm2 and cryptsetup. no help. what can be done?

[07:26] X forwarding is not working for me when I ssh into my home PC. It works quite well with other servers tho. Maybe I've missed something? At my home PC I checked the sshd_config, it correctly specifies "X11Forwarding yes", and the "X11DisplayOffset" is 10, just like the other pcs with which I can do X11 forwarding. Then I try to connect to it with either ssh -X or ssh -Y, but it won't work! [07:27] The variable DISPLAY does not get set [07:27] Synaptic: "ncmpc is a text-mode client for MPD, the Music Player Daemon.

[07:27] bfreis, i was having that issue 2 days ago - seems like doing some update and restart corrected it for me. I'm using 10.04 as both client/server. [07:27] ZykoticK9, I'm with 10.10 for both [07:27] I will try to update [07:28] how to change folder colour [07:28] ZykoticK9, damn, I have no upgrades available, everything is up to date :p [07:29] bfreis, sorry - i just assumed it was an update - as it started working magically today (after some updates) -- good luck. [07:30] ZykoticK9, ok, thanks anyway! [07:30] ashish: go to system -> prefferences -> appearance, then you can change your colors. [07:31] bfreis, the best post i found online was from some Gentoo page, and talked about glibc as being the cause - but i couldn't translate it into anything usable for Ubuntu (though they where getting the exact same error message), not any help i realize. Good luck man, hope you find the "real" solution. [07:31] My graphics drivers seem to have crashed. I have a Radeon HD5470 and after rebooting with 3 monitors plugged in (including the built in laptop display) the drivers seems to have reverted back to the open source drivers. Opening ATI Catalyst brings up a 'please install or config your drivers' I tried reinstalling, Im not sure what to try next. Any suggestions? Please help. [07:32] ZykoticK9, ok, I will look for that page! === newbie is now known as Guest16732 [07:35] i just loaded ubuntu studio and i have a hard connection to my ethernet port but it says my ethernet interface doesnt exist [07:36] under connection properties [07:37] Hello everyone, I had a working samba setup until this afternoon, I changed my computer name and now I'm unable to connect to my samba shares even though I can see it on my other machines within the network. Can anyone tell me what is wrong or what can i do to fix this? I tried nmbd restart and nmbd restart and I can see my shares when i do a smbclient -L SERVERNAME [07:38] grkblood, if your Ethernet is working, then it might be administered by another utility/config file. [07:38] o i meant smbd restart [07:38] if i type ifconfig eth0 up it still doesnt work [07:39] grkblood, ifconfig shows eth0? [07:39] yes [07:39] this is a fresh load [07:40] sssup dudes [07:40] Ok nvm.. i fixed my samba by myself turns out the drives were not mounted. Can anyone tell me how I can set it to automount my external harddisks? [07:41] How can I kill the SSHD process? If I just kill it's PID it gets restarted automatically! [07:41] HelpMeSamba, add it to /etc/fstab [07:41] how to get the system name or host name of the systtem with known ipaddress [07:41] ? [07:42] bfreis, "sudo service ssh stop" should work [07:42] ZykoticK9, hmm interesting. Do you know what exactly keeps restarting it? [07:43] bfreis, if it's running as a service it's a good thing that if it dies it gets restart - seems like a "working as designed" type thing [07:43] is it a local network system or external [07:43] HelpMeSamba: local [07:46] HelpMeSamba: its a local network [07:47] This is bizarre: if I ssh -Y from my PC to my notebook, X11 forwarding works fine. The other way round it does not work! Both are running ubuntu 10.10, and both sshd_config are identical! [07:49] I am after a good notepad that always runs in the background, and keeps formatting unlike gedit. I use Lotus notes journal at work and want something similar. I like to keep adding notes to several test files. I am sure there will be some software around, any help [07:49] how do i get the wicd package without installing it [07:49] just the package [07:51] bfreis: you do not need -Y switch if you configured the sshd with X forwarding [07:51] Radeon Graphics card driver gave up on me. It seems to have reverted back to the default open source ones, I tried re-installing fglrx, no luck. [07:51] grkblood, http://packages.ubuntu.com/ perhaps? [07:51] razz1, I know, but I'm trying with both -X and -Y to see if I can get it to work [07:51] razz1, anyways, that's not the point. As I said: it works pc ==> notebook, but not the other way round. === wolf is now known as Guest30860 [07:52] razz1, if it works with -Y one way, it should work with it the other way round [07:52] I've started sshd with "-d" to show some output, and when I try to connect to it it says: "Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket." === onats_ is now known as onats [07:52] hey guys [07:53] knoppies: what GPU are you running, I am planning on getting a midrange 5XXX card and will be running myth tv, how is the video acceleration with the new driver [07:53] is it possible to setup RAID 1 with a running/already installed system? [07:54] bfreis: i would not have a clue, but are you on a internal network or trying this over the net. [07:54] razz1, 5470. Its good, I haven't had any problems, until now. I booted the laptop with 2 external displays and it crashed on me. [07:54] razz1, tried both, the results are always the same :/ [07:55] Where should I set the variable SSHD_OPTS that gets passed to SSHD in the startup script? [07:55] bfreis: /etc/default/ssh [07:57] gobbe, what is the format? simply SSHD_OPTS=my options? [07:57] jesus! ubuntu is REAALY ticking me off tonight, 10.10 upgrade screwed all this crap up and studio is acting a fool [07:57] or do I need ""? [07:57] i cant even open my thumb drive now on 10.10 [07:57] bfreis: i would go with "" [07:58] gobbe, dammit, neither seem to work [07:58] bfreis: paste your line [07:58] yea, i feel like cursing to. im not though because this is freenode [07:58] If I stop the SSHD service, then start it manually with /usr/sbin/sshd -d -4, then I try to connect, it correctly X forwards [07:59] bfreis: do you have other options in /etc/ssh/sshd_config? [07:59] If I pass the "-4" option through the SSHD_OPTS in /etc/default/ssh, and then launches SSHD with service ssh start, it does not x forwards anymore [07:59] gobbe, nothing else [07:59] the line is: [07:59] SSHD_OPTS="-4" [07:59] I tried without "" as well [08:00] bfreis: -4 has nothing to do with x forwarding, but just to use only ipv4 [08:01] gobbe, I know, but it allows me to use X forwarding [08:01] If I /usr/sbin/sshd, I cannot use X forwarding [08:01] anyone got multitouch working on the bcm5974 (Macbook Pro)? [08:01] If I /usr/sbin/sshd -4, I can use it [08:01] http://spiralbound.net/blog/2008/06/03/x11-forwarding-broken-on-solaris [08:01] bfreis: upload your /etc/ssh/sshd_config to pastebin [08:01] all my searching tells me to install the mactel ppa drivers (which I did), but I only get two finger scroling, with no 4 finger stuff [08:03] http://pastebin.com/YNTjZcmp [08:04] It's exactly the same as the one in my notebook. And again: if I connect from my PC to my notebook, x forwarding works. The other way round, it doesnt :/ [08:05] bfreis: are you running ubuntu server on your pc or desktop? [08:05] bfreis: and which version [08:05] gobbe, no, both are Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 === Life is now known as Guest58618 [08:06] bfreis: and how do you open your ssh-connection?

[08:58] sveinse: did you try just apt-get --reinstall -d ? [09:01] I am connecting to the internet using by tunneling to a server on my LAN (thus I am setting up a SOCKS proxy on my localhost using putty). How I can share this internet with other people over another wireless adhoc netowork that I am a part of? [09:01] I'm using the 10.10 desktop install CD, and it seems to want to erase my entire disk; shouldn't it suggest shrinking my Windows partition? [09:01] it feels pathetic that i am asking here, but i need real advice. would you guys rather work in a job you dislike for 10 years and possibly be rich, or work for the rest of your life in a job you love, but knowing you have to work until you retire? [09:01] ciphergoth, it should offer a step to let you do it manually [09:01] unsure_loser, offtopic here, nothing to do with ubuntu [09:02] niting_: crossover [09:02] bazhang: I can select manual partitioning, but that doesn't seem to offer shrinking the disk [09:02] ciphergoth: what are all the options that it is giving you? You should have more than one? [09:02] unsure_loser: crossover? [09:02] wmorri: erase the entire disk, or manual partitioning [09:02] bazhang: suggestions? [09:02] unsure_loser, not in this channel [09:02] oooo, good answer [09:03] unsure_loser: I dont get u [09:03] ciphergoth: hmm, not sure atm let me look something up [09:03] wmorri: thanks [09:04] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/j8STqJea [09:04] ciphergoth: if you use w7 or wVista just shrink your partition using their tools [09:04] it's XP [09:04] mohanohi, thats not what I asked you to paste [09:04] I had confidently imagined it would just detect that I had a Windows partition, and suggest shrinking it [09:04] ciphergoth: do you have any extra space available or is it all being used but XP? [09:05] ciphergoth: ugh.. then partition magic or some other partitioning tool [09:05] ciphergoth: if wost comes to worst we can walk you through partitioning it [09:06] bazhang: it is the error which occurs while installing any software [09:06] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/k6Wv4Hyx [09:06] this is my source list [09:06] mohanohi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:06] mohanohi, sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade (paste those results) and also your sources.list [09:06] brb [09:07] wmorri: right now XP fills the disk [09:07] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/FT1v8H0a [09:07] but that partition is less than half full [09:07] mohanohi, you have two different version CDs commented out in your sources.list, which version are you on [09:07] the machine is around a decade old; the disk is around 20G [09:08] mohanohi, and sudo apt-get upgrade , as well as the output of lsb_release -a [09:08] ciphergoth: do you want to use the entire disk or just part of it? [09:08] ciphergoth, gparted live cd to be 100% certain , its a 60mb iso download [09:09] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/zSahH0dV [09:09] wmorri: I want to shrink the XP partition to half its size and use the other half for Ubuntu [09:09] cipergoth: 20 G ... just try making partition with partition magic [09:09] bazhang: I thought the Ubuntu installer ran gparted by default [09:09] mohanohi, choose yes for the upgrade [09:09] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/rB1nZq7E [09:10] bazhang: oh , 300 mb? [09:10] ciphergoth: I believe that gparted is on the livecd if you want to use that. [09:10] but it's not wired in to the install process? How come? It was, once, wasn't it? [09:10] bazhang: couldn't it be removed any other way, because i am not in such high speed connection. :( [09:10] mohanohi, you appear to be in the middle of upgrading to Lucid 10.04 [09:10] gun [09:10] ciphergoth: yes it was and should be there. I am not sure why it isn't there now. [09:11] I'm guessing that it is there and some people see it, and there's something different about my system that's stopping it [09:12] bazhang: Actually a package installation was requiring a package which was in lucid [09:12] mohanohi, which one [09:12] ciphergoth: that shouldn't be the case as it is a livecd and they run off ram [09:12] bazhang: for openshot [09:12] bazhang: a library, [09:12] mohanohi, you should never mix version repos. [09:12] bazhang: i don't remember the exact name of the library [09:12] bazhang: oh [09:13] mohanohi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:13] cipergoth: I think it's there... namend manual partition.. below "use entire disk" [09:13] wmorri: right, but it does examine my system to decide what to do [09:13] mohanohi, so continue with the upgrade to 10.04 [09:13] bazhang: ok [09:13] anyone has sudgestion? FGLRX makes screen flicker, open source driver makes laptop fan go nonstop at full power, any third way? [09:14] ciphergoth: I understand what you are saying, but I also agree with arkani. you can manually set up the partition. it isn't too hard. [09:14] ciphergoth: have a look at this [09:14] http://news.softpedia.com/news/Installing-Ubuntu-10-10-160966.shtml [09:14] wmorri: the manual partition editor doesn't have an option to shrink NTFS partitions [09:15] AFAICT [09:15] wmorri: Yes, I tried apt-get --resinstall -d but for some unexpected reason it doesnt download the deps [09:15] wmorri: ah, that helps: my question now becomes "why don't I see the install alongside other operating systems option?" [09:15] hello can any body tell me why i unable to change my icon colours [09:15] cipergoth partition magic.... [09:15] abhijain, which icons [09:16] sveinse: what program are you trying to reinstall?

[09:16] mohanohi, no. [09:17] mohanohi, your problem is mixing version repos. [09:17] bazhang: folder icon in computer [09:17] ciphergoth: see what happens you might surprise yourself [09:17] wmorri: see what happens when what? [09:17] bazhang: installing one library from another repo caused these problems? [09:18] mohanohi, break your system, yes [09:18] abhijain, you'd need a theme pack for that [09:18] bazhang: hmmm.. [09:18] AHA! [09:18] when you play with the advanced option. The worst that can happen is you have to restart your computer. [09:19] bazhang: in customize option i am trying to enable icons oxygen but its not respoding [09:19] the advanced option offers me resize, which fails, and the log says why [09:19] it's a bad sector [09:19] abhijain, then install them? apt-cache search oxygen [09:19] ciphergoth: I C that is definitely a problem [09:19] Hi guys I found a typo in one of the software description page. whom should I report that so, that it is corrected or what should I do to correct hem myself?

[09:20] just started playing with xmodmap, how can I figure out which key currently invokes a known symname? [09:21] bazhang: should need to sudo upgrade [09:21] abhijain, then do so [09:21] ubottu: It is not a serious bug it is just a typo and even I can fix them if someone can give me little direction [09:21] tutysra, better to still file a bug then offer a patch [09:22] tutysra, that way it can be distributed to *all* users [09:23] ciphergoth: sorry we couldn't help you. You can report a bug here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [09:23] ok.

[09:33] sveinse, how big is the repo === roman is now known as Guest62098 [09:33] bazhang: The only thing missing is how to download the debs and their dependencies [09:34] If I want to download midnight commander only the source is available. Does that preclude me from installing it or does it simply mean I must compile it (somehow) myself) [09:34] bazhang: from what i've heard, the full armel repo for one version (like maverick) and without source is like 20-30 Gigs. The files I need are like 100Meg or so [09:35] meco: you would just have to compile it yourself [09:35] meco: mc is in the repos.. and theres ppa's for newer versions [09:35] meco: the fact its int eh repos also makes compiling new versiopsn easier.

[10:00] wmorri: great, I'm stuck [10:01] Hello guys. About a year or two ago, someone told me that running Linux on a Mac computer would cause CPU overclocking, overheating the system, potentially causing damage. Is this a problem in Ubuntu 10.10 ? [10:01] meco: is your other partition mounted? [10:02] gordonjcp: yes [10:02] okay guys, lxrandr only gives one possible resolution, what its currently at and auto. neither fix the screen posision [10:02] meco: then change directory to wherever it's mounted [10:02] Can I somehow read CPU info from the system, so I have a chance to confirm that everything is alright ?

Whenever I change .mp3´s to open in VLC, it keeps opening them in the Movie Player. I have gone to "Open with..." and changed it to VLC and told it to remember this for that file type, but it doesn´t seem to be working after restarting and changing this many times. It is still set to that setting, but keeps opening with Movie Player. Any ideas?

[10:10] bazhang, edid? [10:10] it was plug and play with winxp [10:10] nvm got it [10:11] Maybe I am stupid but it sounds more like a graphics card compatibility issue than an actual monitor issue. [10:11] ubottu, I am okay with tasks on my computer cos its connected to the internet. But my friends computer doesnt have internet, and I have installed Ubuntu. So, for the applications to run and for the security updates it has to be updated.

[10:11] jim__, aptoncd would work well for that [10:12] jimmy_, more like a video card issue [10:12] bazhang, Even if the motherboard configuration is different?

[11:41] bicyclerepairman: use "sudo -i" [11:42] g_, weird, -9 is pretty much the highest level of kill if the process doesn't honour that it might even be mis-reported as a zombie process hmm.. [11:42] bicyclerepairman: the root passwd is disabled in default ubuntu o sudo -i or udo su - [11:42] bicyclerepairman: su would need root-password, which isnt available due to the disabled root-account. sudo works fine [11:42] well it's preventing me for doing any work with apt-get [11:43] in top, under the "S" column, it's showing "D" for dead?

[11:44] !root| bicyclerepairman [11:44] bicyclerepairman: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:44] g_: D means uninterruptable sleep, the process will not receive any signals (such as kill) [11:44] bicyclerepairman: it' not disabled, the root passwd is disbaled [11:44] bah :( [11:44] so how do i kill it and take control of my ocmputeR? [11:44] bicyclerepairman, yes, use sudo -i for a root shell if you must, sudo is fine for most occasions [11:44] g_: reboot! [11:45] it's like windows...all over again!

I'm remastering Ubuntu, and I want to keep the original initrd [11:47] jenni^, no idea really, have you checked from proper sources that the battery is actually 10400mAh? not some marketing gimmick? [11:48] Jemt, remaster when you have it just as you want [11:48] bazhang: Sorry, come again ? [11:48] Jemt, how are you remastering, btw [11:48] psycho_oreos: well, it's one hell of a big block at least :P [11:49] jenni^, size doesn't always mean alot :) [11:49] bazhang: Extracting Live CD ISO, extracting Squash FS, chrooting into file system, changing things, then packing it all into an ISO again [11:49] Hey all.. I have quite a problem [11:49] interesting, when asked if i want to kill the process with the aptfix above, i'm told: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process [11:50] psycho_oreos: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.17083 [11:50] Jemt, thats not really the optimal method, but as you wish; remaster the iso and be done with it, not sure how updating comes into a live cd environment tbh [11:50] How can I merge two or more partitions into one/ [11:50] bhavesh, with gparted [11:50] g_: have you some update applets running in the panel?

I don't really know where to go [11:50] bhavesh, yes [11:50] ok [11:50] Jemt: you can "hold" a package using "echo pckgname hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections" [11:50] tu [11:50] ty [11:50] bazhang: Why is it not the optimal way? I don't believe it can be done any "cleaner". I don't go with "easiest" way. [11:50] jenni^: it might be that your battery has two separate cells [11:51] jenni^: so 2x5200mAh [11:51] oCean: Thanks, I already do that to the kernel. Never the less, update-initramfs still executes during update (apt-get upgrade) [11:52] Hey guys I have "jre1.6.0_23" extracted in a folder in ~/Downloads - where do I move files etc, to make it installed on my system? [11:52] oCean: I also keep back "initscripts" - figured that might have something to do with it - but it didn't [11:52] I'd suggest you download it with synaptic instead, encrypted [11:52] It'll install automatically [11:52] encrypted, why would you need to do that? minecraft works fine on the latest from maverick [11:52] Dekker3D: How do I do that? [11:52] jenni^, weird, so ok its not proved to be a con item. Does the battery last longer than standard? I mean if it does I really don't see there's much need to worry about unless you're willing to muscle up for some command line debugging [11:52] bazhang: I can't get minecraft to work! :-( [11:52] Go to your administration menu and find the synaptic package manager [11:53] bazhang: It keeps puking when it starts to load the terrain after you click, "empty" [11:53] encrypted, well that has nothing to do with your maverick version of jre [11:53] schnuffle: no i don't [11:53] bazhang: Can you help me get it to work ? [11:53] psycho_oreos: well, my old 4400mAh died in 20 mins, this has now lasted about 3 hrs and it says 50% [11:53] Jemt: ah, guess the update-initramfs is a "post" script in a package.

[12:22] encrypted: you should be able to use "Additional Drivers" in your system menu to disable it [12:22] encrypted: system>administration>additional driver an dibale it [12:22] disable === cg582u_ is now known as bonzai_pete [12:22] schnuffle: and jrib Brilliant, thanks [12:23] "systemerror: installarchives() failed" schnuffle & jrib === Nobody- is now known as Guest22248 [12:24] encrypted: is that the full output? [12:24] jrib: Yes, when I click remove thats all it says in the error box [12:24] encrypted: use apt-get then, I don't know what causes that erro [12:24] r [12:25] jrib: What is the comman for apt-get / how do I find the package to remove? [12:25] <[bean]> apt-get remove [12:26] hi, i need linux 2.6.37 because of missing hardware support in 10.10's kernel. is there an easy way to achieve this including fglrx drivers? is there an easy way to use natty packages? [12:26] OMG when I label me drives it add some symbols in fron t of it . Like I renamed a drive from 'new volume' to Drive D, it changed its name to Drive D^_& [12:26] my* [12:26] tried it again and the same thing happened [12:26] freiform_: Use the open radeon driver that is included with the kernel [12:26] with gparted. [12:27] encrypted: fglrx maybe? I don't have any experience with ati [12:27] freiform_: use a ppa [12:27] bhavesh: what filesystem is the drive in question? [12:28] soreau: i need fglrx as the included drievr prevents my laptop from using suspend/hibernate [12:28] fat 32 [12:28] schnuffle... how the heck did you know that? I've been insisting that PSU is 600w and you keep talking about 650w... and it IS 650w. o.O [12:28] yup the problem is only with fat 32 Dr_Willis [12:28] bhavesh: theres some cli tools to do that also. but i tend to just rename them when i put them on a qwindows box. [12:28] I like my disks properly named. :) [12:28] with NO spaces in the names either. [12:28] ok [12:29] Dr_Willis, I tried to name it with gparted [12:29] freiform_: You should ask in #radeon about this problem and/or file a bug [12:29] Dekker3D: just luck, thought I ha read that it i 650 W, start aking myself if I should start a religion? :) [12:29] how can i hide cario dock [12:29] soreau: that is not teh issue, as i want to use the closed source driver. [12:30] freiform_: Then you will always need older kernel and X [12:30] want to autohide cario dock when i am shifting pointer to ootherwhere [12:30] right click on cario dock and close or if u want to hide it when window comes on it you need to change the settings abhijain1 [12:30] bonzai_pete [12:30] abhijain1, try in #cairo-dock [12:30] I installed the GNOME XCF thumbnailer but it still doesn't seem to auto generate thumbnails. [12:30] check cariodock properties - abhijain1 [12:30] soreau: so fglrx is definitely incompatible with current kernels? [12:31] freiform_: http://www.mindwerks.net/2010/11/ubuntu-10-10-maverick-with-2-6-37-kernel/ [12:31] schnuffle, you do that. The magical power-guesser! [12:31] freiform_: It is *always* incompatible with latest kernels [12:31] In a few milleniae, you'll be known as the omniscient! [12:31] Who predicted the technological singularity, even! [12:32] schnuffle: thanks, but w/o fglrx it's not much use. [12:33] freiform_: You will be better off investing time testing the gallium driver and report any bugs to the radeon developers [12:34] soreau: i would be better off waitung another few months before using this notebook with gnu/linux. ;) === abhijain1 is now known as abhijain [12:35] now does anyone know how can I merge my three partition (all ntfs) using gparted ? [12:35] freiform_: Sure. ubuntu should have some of the newer work happening now for HD cards into natty [12:35] hello... i have a problem with temperature.. any help?? i was talking to skype and it reached 83C! Now it runs at 60C, which seems still quite high [12:36] bhavesh: create an ext4 partition and cp -a everything to it ;) [12:36] soreau: it's actually not just the gpu. i have problems with wifi, mic, jack-sensing, fan and that's just the ones i know about. [12:36] amaiman: You mean cpu temp? Are any processes using a lot of cpu? [12:36] Anyone know why GNOME XCF thumbnailer doesn't work? [12:36] ok [12:37] schnuffle, well.. the different power supply does nothing [12:37] Does it require restart to work or something? [12:37] Jeff_: did you read the link I gave you? [12:37] (xmodmap) I tried to assign Alt (and not Meta) to my Alt keys (133 and 134) and Meta to my Windows key, and now Alt runs Meta+Super while the WIndows key runs Meta as intended =\ any help? [12:37] soreau , if all those three partitions are empty can I just delete them? [12:37] Dekker3D: So the same problems? Sometimes it boots sometimes not? [12:37] Yeas I think that's what GNOME XCF thumbnailer came from. [12:37] Oh, and when I searched for that kernel panic, I got a thread about someone with faulty memory.. so I guess that's it. But when I remove some of the memory, it won't boot at all. [12:37] xev hears them correctly [12:37] bhavesh: sure [12:37] schnuffle, well, this time it just auto-shutdown. I can try a few more times? [12:38] soreau: yeah, cpu temp... and no, no processes that use much of the cpu [12:38] soreau and then create a new one(ntfs) later? [12:38] Jeff_: how did you install it? [12:39] Jeff_: I can't find "gnome xfce thumbnailer" anywhere in that bug report [12:39] <[bean]> Dekker3D: is it dual channel or triple channel ram? [12:39] bhavesh: whatever you want to do [12:39] Triple [12:39] Ubuntu Software center and then I tried reiinstalling it with snaptic [12:39] <[bean]> if so it has to run i pairs or triplets [12:39] Six sticks [12:39] Dekker3D: No memory seems to be faulty, so tr to replace and test again [12:39] amaiman: maybe its misreporting the temp from the driver? Or does it really feel hot? Do you have it in well ventilated position? [12:39] Jeff_: or gnome xcf even [12:39] soreau : just have a problem here.. All those ntfs drive are empty even then my gparted shows about 1Mb data in each of them :| [12:39] schnuffle, what do you mean "No memory seems to be faulty"? [12:39] spreau : I mean 17MB [12:40] <[bean]> running a single triple channel ramstick wont getyou far [12:40] bhavesh: i think that mey be due to wasted space for the blocks/tables/stuff [12:40] bhavesh: Its probably file system data that is useless to you [12:40] It means that the problem is apparently clearly your memory [12:40] bhavesh: and i think the ntfs-3g driver does some work arounds also. [12:40] [bean], but dual channel ramsticks will work alone too, right? [12:40] ok then ill format them .. Dr_Wills : which work? [12:40] Jeff_: anyway, I think I read that it only works after you open the file once. Check if that's true. [12:41] bhavesh: i doubt if formating them will do anytjhing if they are allready empty [12:41] <[bean]> they could yea, but it might not. they are made to be run a specific way [12:41] Dr_willis ok [12:41] soreau: it feels hot, and i dont think its a problem of the place... with windows(blah!!!) the temperature was ok.. now i run only ubuntu so i cant really check.. but the position is not the problem [12:41] bhavesh: try it and see if you want. :) you always have some lost space on any filesystem [12:41] Yes that's the issue I'm trying to fix. [12:41] i believe at least [12:42] <[bean]> yea, there will always be some lost space due to cluster size [12:42] Jeff_: well does the workaround given in the bug report I gave you exhibit the same behavior? [12:42] amaiman: Could be a hot gpu? Which graphics driver are you using? [12:43] soreau: nvidia 9600 [12:43] no xmodmap help? =( just thought to try #xorg and it seems they're all afk [12:44] amaiman: Are you using the proprietary driver then? [12:44] Dr_Willis : It says Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 7 [12:44] Jesdisciple: What are you trying to do? [12:44] Dr_Willis all of them are unmounted [12:44] bhavesh: You cant have them mounted [12:45] Dr_Willis, I could delete just one of them [12:45] soreau : I unmounted them [12:45] soreau: poor internet connection.... in case you didnt see nvidia 9600...... [12:46] amaiman: Yes.. and you are using proprietary nvidia driver? [12:46] anyone from ubuntu channel knows how to make different panels in each desktop for kubuntu?;) [12:46] soreau: yeah.. through the "additional drivers", the recommended one [12:46] soreau: sorry, I tried to assign Alt (and not Meta) to my Alt keys (133 and 134) and Meta to my Windows key, and now Alt runs Meta+Super while the WIndows key runs Meta as intended [12:47] ok I got the answer [12:47] soreau: xev says they're fine [12:47] Its better to do them from a live ubuntu CD [12:47] becoz none of them would be mounted then [12:47] Jesdisciple: I think you can relogin and try again [12:48] ciao [12:48] soreau: and xsensors to check temp [12:48] Okay I just tried the work arounds and now it won't generate any thumbnail for XCFs [12:48] soreau: and my palm :) [12:48] what== [12:48] and lol how will I get my gparted in live CD? [12:48] soreau: do you mean to reset the modifiers? [12:48] Jesdisciple: yea [12:49] soreau: `setxkbmap us' is managing that (I've been searching around, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue) [12:51] soreau: and for some reason, contrary to what the manpage and lots of pages say, Alt_L, Shift_R and such aren't valid keysyms on my machine === eric is now known as Guest9394 [12:51] soreau: for the lvalue in assignment anyway [12:52] Heh. It seems to boot. [12:52] Jesdisciple: You have to look in the keysym.h header file for X [12:52] soreau: which directory? [12:52] I can't start lubuntu 10.10 50% of the time === jeremy is now known as Guest91376 [12:53] (process:244): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_rc (): failed due to unknown user id (0) [12:53] any suggestions about the temp problem?? [12:53] schnuffle, thanks. I see the desktop now. Now.. I just need to gradually put ram back. Fun [12:53] how do i use wake on lan? I set it in the BIOS but don't know how to send the wake up message. Can it be done from the command line? [12:54] Jesdisciple: Its in the xmodmap man page IIRC.. freiform_: wait it out then [12:54] stanman246: most everything can be done from the command line. :) If you know the commands. (i dont in this case, but i seemt o recall seeing a cli command do to it once ages ago) [12:54] Jesdisciple: Its in the xmodmap man page IIRC.. /usr/include/X11/keysym.h [12:57] hellooo [12:57] i'am a spanish student [12:57] Whenever the screensaver activates the scren goes black and the PC freezes up to the extent that I have to press ctrl-al-t-del about twenty times to make the machine restart [12:58] Any suggestions how I should deal with this issue? [12:58] anybody can help me in a small problem with C++ "developing"? [12:58] please [12:58] so i install xinit and while running it, it gives me just a terminal like interface [12:58] meco: Possible driver bug. Which graphics driver are you using? [12:58] strapping, try ##c++ [12:58] now can in install firefox and just run it? [12:58] strapping: probably best to try #c++ (or ##c++ whichever it's called) [12:58] strapping: and/or ##programming [12:58] 0k thanks [12:59] soreau: there's a command for finding that out that I don't remember... [12:59] I would only like wireless and firefox running on one of my ubuntu server, what is the minimal installation that i need to do [12:59] meco: Try lspci|grep VGA [12:59] soreau: but I have an old Intel chipset [12:59] I search only "programación" (programming in spanish... and by this, ask here... sorry ;) UBUNTU UP!!! xD [12:59] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) [13:00] meco: You could try booting with i915.modeset=0 to use to old intel driver code [13:00] soreau: where would I have to make a modification to do that? [13:00] some dvd im trying to play wont work... could that be something to do with the region settings? [13:00] skilz, doubtful === AbhiJit is now known as Guest90182 [13:01] if so, does that mean I have to do a firmware update of my dvdrw ? === AbhiJit_ is now known as AbhiJit [13:01] skilz, install libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org [13:01] !restricted | skilz [13:01] skilz: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [13:01] meco: In the grub splash screen, highlight the entry and press e to edit then append it to the linux kernel line (eg. ro quiet splash i915.modeset=0) then Ctrl+X to boot it [13:02] skilz, the DVD could also be scratched, if you can play other DVD's then its the DVD itself, it could also be the DVD rom [13:02] meco: If this is favorable, you can make it permanent by editing a file in /etc [13:02] soreau: I don't know what a grub splash screen is. [13:02] it wont even load, when I press play it does nothing [13:02] soreau: keysymdef.h does in fact define them, but `xmodmap: .xmodmaprc:4: bad keysym target keysym 'Super_R', no corresponding keycodes' [13:02] meco, hold shift at boot to get there [13:02] bazhang: ok [13:02] meco: When you boot your machine, it loads grub to boot ubuntu. The grub splash screen is where you select which OS you want to boot [13:03] soreau: that would actually be ALt_L if it worked [13:03] skilz, download the drivers like AbhiJit told you, without the driver DVD playback wont work [13:03] Jesdisciple: I dont know then, keep experimenting [13:03] Hi...is there a way to export Excel spreadsheet data to SQL file, in Linux? [13:03] All other dvds work [13:04] вечер добрый всем [13:04] is grub something akin to a batch file for the booting sequence? [13:04] p1727, #ubuntu-ru [13:04] skilz, if all other DVDs work then the particular DVD that doesnt work is most likely scratched, like I told you before === marcelo is now known as Guest73551 [13:04] soreau: (keysymdef.h is included from keysym.h) [13:04] any suggestions about temperature problem with 10.10?? [13:05] Does anyone use here the partclone or partimage software to backup or create an image of a linux system [13:05] господа, вопрос - как в 10.10 скопировать патч в директорию usr\src ? [13:05] Jesdisciple: yea, /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h [13:05] !ru | p1727 [13:05] p1727: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [13:05] thx [13:05] amalgama, you could buy an aftermarket cpu and/or case air cooler, I bought myself an aftermarket air cooler and it does the trick [13:06] Hi...is there a way to export Excel spreadsheet data to SQL file, in Linux? Anyone? [13:06] h-dee, open with the openoffice equivalent and try yet? === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [13:06] magellan, i have used it, it works like a charm, but beware could you could be the unlucky one that has a problem with it, it worked on both my laptop and desktop [13:06] h-dee: openoffice -> export with csv and edit it to sql [13:07] bazhang: I din't found any such option to export to SQL in OpenOffice [13:07] gobbe: Thanks! let me see [13:07] what packages do i need to run wireless internet ? [13:07] soreau: really I don't think the keysyms matter, I can tolerate using numbers - that was just a readability thing [13:07] !wifi | zulax read this please [13:07] zulax read this please: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [13:07] soreau: mostly I want to understand why Alt becomes Meta+Super [13:07] zulax, what chipset, lspci in terminal to find out [13:08] zulax, it can be tricky, you could read the guide like bazhang asked, or I could give you a few tips if you want [13:08] tucemiux, the DVD looks fine to me.. [13:09] skilz, some new drm then [13:09] skilz, you got the package from medibuntu ? [13:09] tucemiux, did you use it while running linux or you just boot to the live cd and create an image. I want to use it while im running my linux system. [13:09] bazhang, tucemiux - when i installed ubuntu-desktop, the wifi works out of box - but now i am on server and dont have a full blown GUI [13:10] zulax, check ifconfig , is there a wlan0? if so try sudo dhclient wlan0 [13:10] bazhang, ifconfig shows lo and eth0 [13:10] magellan, i did it both ways, but the live CD nowadays is so much easier i just did it with the live CD, I boot up to the live CD, get a graphical interface, connect my USB drive, then fire up gparted [13:10] zulax, still need the output of lspci for chipset [13:10] and iwconfig shows wlan0 but no AP and no data [13:10] can someone give me some advice, for some reason my ubuntu installed Namoroka its some kinda firefox pre release or something, I just want normal firefox... I have tried sudo apt-get remove namoroka but it says the package doesnt exist.. how do I get rid of it? [13:11] Kingsy, what version of ubuntu [13:11] magellan, i meant to say, fired up partimage === jacquesdupontd_ is now known as jacquesdupontd [13:12] bazhang: well I upgraded so I am running 10.10 now [13:12] bazhang: it was installed on 10.4 [13:12] Please, how do I undo what I did that gconf command that was recommended here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551995 [13:12] is there a distro thats especially good at automagically supporting older hardware? [13:12] kingsy thats odd [13:12] bazhang: yup [13:12] brontoeee, ubuntu , as this is the ubuntu channel === mike is now known as Guest21964 [13:13] tucemiux, good u clarify the gparted from partimage.hehe. im a little bit confused there.. by the way have u try it in inside the linux system. or the command line.creating an image. [13:13] brontoeee, if you want a linux wide search try ##linux [13:13] zulax, linux journal has an article just for you, those ubuntu docs sometimes are overboated, this guide shows you exactly what to do and holds your hand: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/wi-fi-command-line [13:13] bazhang: so, any advice as to how to proceed in getting rid of this? [13:13] bazhang, i cant seem to find | on my server keyboard :( but its interl pro 100 i think [13:14] Please how do I undo a gconftool --set command? [13:14] bazhang, intel co pro wireless 2200BG [13:14] zulax, try sudo ifdown wlan0 sudo ifup wlan0 then check ifconfig again [13:14] bazhang, actually i was hoping for an ubuntu derivate, maybe even officialy supported one, but thanks [13:14] zulax, also be sure there is not hardware switch for that [13:14] helo i have one problem with my hard drive he had one sector brek and i would like learn hor te repair this [13:15] brontoeee, here is only officially supported ones, ubuntu would be the best (try a live cd) [13:15] magellan, partimage has like a little somewhat GUI menu, it should be straight forward though, just make sure you know which partition is getting imaged and which partition is going to receive the back up, you dont want to mess those two up or youll have tragic consequences [13:15] ifdown says intercace wlan0 not configured bazhang [13:15] I planning to try it inside my running linux machine. i thought i won't work creating a image in inside a running machine [13:15] tucemiux, I planning to try it inside my running linux machine. i thought i won't work creating a image in inside a running machine [13:15] zulax, does it show in ifconfig now [13:15] magellan, make sure the partition isnt mounted though [13:15] nop, i see eth0, eth1, lo bazhang [13:15] bazhang, tried lucid, now booting 10.10, i have a tiling screen [13:15] zulax, bet its eth1 [13:16] magellan, i backed up my windows partition from inside linux, i suggest you use a live CD though [13:16] Can someone tell me where the graphical gconf app is? [13:16] bazhang, yes, and its unassociated now, says ESSID:off/any [13:16] Jeff_, get there from alt f2 [13:16] hello does any one know how to configure daloradius with mikrotik? [13:16] do any one know how to repair a hard drive broke by a electrycity failure? [13:17] kuro, try ##hardware [13:17] hello [13:17] tucemiux, So its ok to run partimage inside a running linux machine even though the one i create or the source i want to create a image i the one running. [13:17] i need to ask tech question [13:17] thank [13:17] zulax, the wifi link I gave you tells exactly how to do that [13:17] please [13:17] can any one tell how can i configure daloradius with freeradius and mikrotik [13:17] ok [13:18] ubuntu_, what is mikrotik [13:18] bazhang that opened the "Run Application" dialog. [13:18] mikrotik is a router [13:18] i want to authenticate users [13:18] magellan, again -- the partition youre going to work on needs to be unmounted -- but since you dont know what that means im going to tell you the safest thing to do --- from within linux it doesnt work(you can do it and prove me wrong) -- use a live CD [13:18] but using a radius [13:18] i want to connect BT device to my dongle on 8.04 [13:18] kuro: e2fsck is te tool to check patitions [13:18] Jeff_, yep, now type in the gconf tool command [13:18] Hello, Has anyone configured VPN IPSEC lan to lan?

[13:21] Is it possible to have a custom script run after upgrades? I need to ensure that a file is ALWAYS restored after upgrades [13:21] Jemt: what file? [13:21] Hello, I'm opening a VPN via IPsec - Network to Network VPN. I come to open the VPN client appears with the status of OPEN indicating that the connection was made. And that will be use to VPN I access port 22 from an FTP Released by them. But I can not telnet to that port. Direct via Shell Firewall I can ping the IP of the machine normally FTP but I can not telnet on that port and the machine [13:21] on my network can not ping let alone do telnet. [13:21] I'm doing the following: [13:21] In the VPN option - I select IPsec - In Status and control of the link I click on ADD - Inside the connection type select NETWORK TO NETWORK VPN and click on Add - I do all the configuration and the connection is established with the client. [13:21] My doubt is: After you open the VPN tunnel with my client as I do for a particular IP on my network that I access the VPN and can use FTP? [13:21] tse: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:21] Jemt, which file [13:21] tucemiux, thanks you very much..may i ask again do you know similar to partimage that work inside a running linux by creating an image..i mean creating a image from a running linux machine..hope you know something alike [13:21] sorry [13:21] tse, did you read that link? === root is now known as Guest75253 === schnuffle1 is now known as schnuffle [13:22] Jàs [13:22] hsodfuae [13:22] gezghzruoghz [13:22] )z [13:22] guzpçetuzepçtveuzpçopoit [13:22] i [13:22] Guest75253: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[13:23] magellan, i heard of others but partimage is the one I tried and it worked, didnt bother testing the other ones, I suggest you use a live CD though, if you have questions about using a live CD go ahead and ask, live CD is the way to go [13:23] Jemt: I don't understand why though, might you not need to rebuild it with a new kernel? [13:23] soreau: the main problem was my fault [13:24] soreau: I was reassigning the Windows key but assuming that Alt just meant Alt [13:24] hi. i need to mount an iso image. but am unable to do so .. [13:24] !iso | ghufran_ [13:24] ghufran_: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [13:24] soreau: somehow that confused xmodmap [13:24] lol, im using vinagre for the first time and I cant escape the session [13:25] is there a short cut to release the mouse? [13:25] soreau: Meta apparently wasn't being generated by Alt, Emacs is just stubborn about interpreting an Alt signal as Meta *sigh* [13:25] /keyboard [13:25] mount -o loop /media/Data/Download/image\ file.iso /mnt/isodisk/ but it said i must specify a filesystem type [13:25] jrib: Any package may force it to be regenerated, really. But I use the Live CD to boot Ubuntu installed onto a USB stick. I want to ensure that the kernel and initrd on the Live CD is the same used on the USB stick. Easy done with the kernel, I can just hold it back. But as mentioned, the initrd may be regenerated by any package [13:25] hi all! Is there anyway to make a process keep running when I shut down the terminal? When I use & it spwans a new process but it doesn't carry on. [13:25] tuceiux, ah ok thanks..i thought there some package that works creating an image in which the source is the running machine an dont need to boot to live cd everytime i want to create an image. i plannig to create an two image in background if my machine is in idle. [13:25] bazhang, that didnt work for me [13:25] can someone help me write a backup script daemon? I know what I want to do, but I don't know how to accomplish it. [13:25] m___, nohup [13:26] jrib: Wait.. This doesn't make sense at all... [13:26] smw: ? [13:26] m___, google it :-) [13:26] jrib: My initial problem was that I was unsure whether I could boot an updated Ubuntu 10.10 with the "old" Live CD which has an older kernel and older Initrd [13:26] Idol_Mind: There are already thousands of good scripts, why should it be a daemon? [13:26] m___, append nohup [13:26] jrib: Holding it back on the USB stick won't help :) [13:27] m___, prepend nohup [13:27] tucemiux, ah ok thanks..i thought there some package that works creating an image in which the source is the running machine an dont need to boot to live cd everytime i want to create an image. i plannig to create an two image in background if my machine is in idle. [13:27] schnuffle, because my wife is linux illiterate, so I want to make it a daemon (or just add the script to init.d) [13:27] i also tried installing a software.. its called gmount-iso but it gave me this: An error occured wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [13:27] bazhang, I don't think appending it works. [13:28] schnuffle, and I only want to backup one folder [13:28] Idol_Mind, maybe you really want a cron job [13:28] Idol_Mind, and where is the problem with ubuntu here? Mmm.. I personall use unison to back up my stuff but here's a whole lot of options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem [13:28] Idol_Mind: What about a cron job? === mm11zzzzzzzzzzzz is now known as mackmoron11 [13:28] i need helo about VPN [13:28] Idol_Mind, or you can get a program made for backups ;-) [13:28] help [13:28] smw, quite right, my mistake [13:28] !ask | tse [13:28] tse: 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. :-) [13:28] schnuffle, that would work... is it possible ro have it detect a program running (PID i believe)? [13:28] Idol_Mind: Have a look at duply, you only need ssh to your wifes PC [13:29] !ask [13:29] 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. :-) [13:29] OK I somehow managed to get the auto thumbnailer to work for XCFs. By unseting some key off of /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/image@x-xcf/command in gconf [13:29] Jemt: well I don't know, but it sounds like there's likely a better way to accomplish what you are doing [13:29] tse, what problem are you having on your ubuntu machine? All in --- one line --- [13:30] hi all [13:30] tucemiux, thanx.. i did browse over that before, but it it a little much for what I need [13:30] wolfpack_, may i have a word with you in pm? [13:30] It might also have to do with my installation of gloobus-preview but I'm not sure [13:30] Idol_Mind: I use t to backup a server with lvm snapshots [13:30] jrib: Not sure. What I want is simply to be able to boot my Ubuntu on a USB stick, since all computers do not support USB boot. And replacing the kernel and initrd on the Live CD is not simple. The initrd on the USB stick does not contain Casper, so I can't just copy it to the Live CD (yes, I'm remastering it) [13:31] I can not make my exit through the VPN network === Dotted is now known as Dotoff [13:32] Idol_Mind, creating your own script for backups is overkill, i would use one of those utilities, I guess the trick is to have someone write the script for you === Dotoff is now known as Dotted [13:32] my network does not go through VPN [13:32] hi, i'm using screen sharing to control a media server. the downside is that this available only after a user has logged in. i'd like to know if it is possible to start a local gnome user session via ssh from the command line? [13:32] tucemiux, i do see the benefits... I just don't know which "method" I need to use [13:32] tse: have you check your routing, to pass traffic through a vpn the routing has to be adapted [13:33] tucemiux, I would like something that will backup a folder right when a PID is created and again when the PID stops [13:33] what is the linux kernel line in the grub edit screen? [13:33] smw: thx! [13:33] anybody please know abt BT connectivity in 8.04 [13:33] Idol_Mind, good luck having someone write the script for you [13:34] schnuffle: how do I add the route of only one IP? [13:34] Idol_Mind: But the pid won't always be the same [13:34] m___, np [13:35] schnuffle, I think I saw a script that will start an app and assign it to a specific PID (kinda like a daemon) [13:35] keep in mind, I'm still a bit new at linux... so I might get some stuff confused [13:35] tse: route add -host [13:35] AbhiJit: yes [13:36] wolfpack_, hi this is AbhiJit from mumbai. [13:36] Idol_Mind: What is the app behind that PID === normal is now known as ulreadl [13:36] !backup [13:36] There are many ways to back your system up.

[13:37] Idol_Mind, backup is a solved problem. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel ;-) [13:37] Jemt: anyway the answer to your original question (whether you can always run something after apt-get is yes, you can use some dpkg:: option (look for post-install) in the apt configuration files (vague enough?). I'll read some man pages if you aren't sure where to go [13:37] Well I uninstalled Gloobus and it still works. [13:37] tse: put a sudo in front should do the trick [13:37] right next to the arabian sea o_O [13:37] any vinagre users here? [13:37] smw, I'm not... i'm just trying to learn scripting and stuff like that... [13:38] hy [13:38] Idol_Mind, ah, it is a project ;-) [13:38] bug dork pls [13:38] Idol_Mind, I thought you actually wanted working backups :-P [13:38] Ryuki, pardon? [13:38] I think ubuntu might have some have previously messed with the gconf setting and I mess it up even worse. So unseting it might have been the only thing I needed to do. [13:38] ew [13:38] update team viewer and its work when it updated but after loosing connection once again its working with last version [13:38] smw, cute :P [13:38] Idol_Mind: So if you want a backup right after a app running create a start script for that app with a backup after [13:38] idol [13:39] That and installing Gnome XCF thumnailer [13:39] ppppppllllleeeeeassse [13:39] idol_mind pm pls [13:39] whats the best way to copy a dvd to my hdd as avi?

[13:42] wolfpack_, come in ##devil === denny- is now known as denny [13:43] bazhang&smw thank you all, maybe the alien tool is not a robust tool,ha [13:43] ghufran_: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom / [13:43] thinkinganimal, indeed not, install from repos first (always) [13:43] schnuffle, no, you need -o loop [13:43] schnuffle: but does not go to stop my internet. this along with the VPN firewall?

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. [13:43] Jemt: there's probably a better way though. Do you know how initrd gets modified? Is there some helper program that updates the links? [13:43] ghufran_: add -t iso9660 [13:44] bazhang, thank you for your suggestion, I am a newer of linux [13:44] Ah, haven't seen that' an iso file [13:44] erUSUL, i've already described what doesnt work earlier. was repeating my question [13:44] jrib: Yes, it is regenerated using the update-initramfs tool [13:44] yes and i m new to everythng [13:44] ghufran_: what error do you get?

[13:45] jrib: But as mentioned, I realized that the actual problem, is packages DEPENDING on the new initrd (if that's somehow possible). The USB stick will in most situations be booted with the OLD initrd on the Live CD, so if packages depends on changes in initrd, we have a problem === Dotted is now known as Dotoff [13:45] * Ryuki Anyone have a scan bug dork RFI?

Checking it out. If it is possible to disable update-initramfs, then packages can't depend on new functionality in this part of the system.

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [13:47] Found the startup applications program, how would I add xchat to it?

In order to restart the PC I have to hold down ctrl-alt-del for several seconds, I got the advice to boot with an older graphics driver by appending i915.modeset=0 to the kernel line during bootup, but that didn't [14:01] make any difference. I have only recently upgraded to 10.04.1. Now what do I do? [14:01] it now is telling me, that the bluez service is not running or something. sorry, english is not my native language. [14:01] Hi guys, do you have instructions of how to write .vm file for viewmail for emacs? [14:02] thinkinganimal: try #emacs [14:02] thinkinganimal, perhaps try #emacs channel [14:02] meco, if guessing you disabled the screensaver if your sure thats the problem ! [14:02] meco, do you really need the screen saver? [14:02] tucemiux: how do i get to that grub screen. Would safemode be there? [14:02] bazhang: o [14:03] Accessing the screensaver also crashes the PC.. [14:03] jrib:ok [14:03] So I can't shut it off [14:03] which deb package in sources.list is responsible for namoroka? [14:03] Sengoku, when you boot up you should see an option to boot up to safe mode, is your machine making it up to the point where it shows you a menu? [14:03] Does anyone have a suggestion on learning programs on then the BASIC-256 that came with the ubuntu software installer, it freezes every time I have a syntax error [14:03] what is the command to extract a tar.gz file [14:03] what's the irc client that you guys are using? [14:03] tucemiux: it shows "Ubuntu" with the four dots underneath then goes nuts.. so idon't see any menu [14:04] ksmith: bluez? [14:04] !best | Repgahroll [14:04] Repgahroll: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [14:04] meco, using the gui to access the screensaver crashes it ? [14:05] Sengoku, the forums and google would be more helpful then, or you can try the room at another time and hope someone that has experienced the problem logs in, from my experience the forums and google have helped me solve issues like that [14:05] xgalacitcaxdavid: tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz [14:05] hello there [14:05] edwardteach: Yes, that crashes the PC, not the screensaver [14:05] FoxHelo thank you [14:05] can anyone help me plz [14:05] babalu, wut up, lou [14:05] tucemiux: at elast i gcan get into console. i've just gotta google my way to mounting a usb drive, then backup all my stuff [14:06] babalu: what's up? [14:06] !ask | babalu [14:06] babalu: 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. :-) [14:06] I am trying to install this into wine but i dont know how to do it (lib32-catalyst-utils) [14:06] or better yet figure out how to enable wireless [14:06] Sengoku, the usb drive should be mounted automatically, just hook up the USB drive then go to /media, there should be a folder for it, something funny looking like /media/XDFD1342SDF would be it [14:07] I have a deb package downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives. How can I find where it comes from (i.e. maverick vs. maverick-updates and main vs. universe)? [14:07] how are the bestbot statistics collected? [14:07] tucemiux: no dice.. [14:07] Sengoku, why you want to enable wireless??? [14:07] Repgahroll, in #ubuntu-bots ? [14:07] meco, what did it say in the dmesg log ? [14:08] bazhang, yep [14:08] tucemiux hcitool scan fails [14:08] @schnuffle where is the key to get the divider thing you are using? the straight up and down line [14:08] tucemiux: so i can commit my uncommited code.. [14:08] i dont' care about the rest of my hard drive [14:08] edwardteach: I'm not familiar with that. Where can I find it? [14:08] Repgahroll, popularity-contest iirc [14:08] Sengoku, you dont have a wired connection? [14:08] sveinse: apt-cache show packagename [14:08] tucemiux: ethernet port is broke [14:08] bazhang, can i participate too? how? [14:08] hilarie: ALTGR + Y [14:09] Repgahroll, sure in that channel [14:09] Sengoku, this thread shows you how to mount the USB drive: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB [14:10] bazhang, which channel? #popularity-contest? [14:10] meco: sys>admin>log file viewer>/var/log/messages [14:10] Sengoku, this thread show you how to turn on your wireless using the command line: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/wi-fi-command-line [14:11] gpc: apt-cache show requires the pkg to be installed and for the same arch [14:11] tucemiux hcitool scan fails no forums describe wht to do === pie is now known as Guest38357 [14:12] morning, is there anywhere I can find the configure(1) options used by the ubuntu team in order to recompile an updated version of openssh? [14:12] OK, I have the dmesg log, but I have no idea how to read it.... What do I look for? [14:12] how do we start the gdm from the shell [14:12] or how can we know the init level that we are running in now [14:12] sveinse: apt-cache show doesn't require the package be installed [14:12] meco, you should look error messages ! [14:13] edwardteach: Near the top or the bottom? It's a very long list [14:13] gpc: Can apt-cache handle other archs? [14:13] So I'm sitting here, and nothings wrong, and out of nowhere my computer just restarts. I know theres some hardware issue, but I couldn't figure out what it was, so now I'm pretty convinced its the CMOS battery. any thoughts? [14:14] sveinse: what do you mean by archs? [14:14] anyone here knows/uses openssh [14:15] gpc: i386 vs. amd64 [14:15] how to update team viewer [14:15] Bluefever, I would open your machine and give it a good clean, make sure there's no shorts anywhere, also make sure the electronics are OK, inspect for blown electronics [14:16] meco, i know i think there in 'from boot order' so i think high numbers im not exactly an expert unfortunately [14:16] hi all [14:16] genesis live [14:16] trying to find how to kill all ssh sessions in i need to [14:16] *if [14:16] sveinse: apt will search the repositories for whatever arch you have installed. you could use packages.ubuntu.com also but the package names are the same in 32bit or 64bit [14:16] Bluefever, check for bad capacitor in your motherboard: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=195 === Nisstyre65 is now known as Nisstyre [14:17] @tucemiux. Any in particular I should look at. [14:17] is it possible to disable the mac chin at startup under ubuntu? [14:17] Bluefever, yes: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=195 [14:17] would it be corroded? [14:17] does anyone know if there is a installable deb package available for VOCP http://www.vocpsystem.com/ ? [14:18] Jp-ie, apt-cache seach vocp [14:18] gpc: OK. I see if I can use apt-cache. What I'm really trying to do is to make a local mirror of maverick packages. And I only want a small list of packages, not the whole shebang [14:18] meco, perhaps if you recreate the crash you may be able to see better not exactly a perfect answerer i know but recreating the problem should throw up some messages! [14:18] is there any way to get vbulletin free or something similar free? [14:19] Bluefever, i cant see what youre seeing, only a physical inspection would let you know if there is a problem with it, I've seen machines that had shorts on it and that's why it rebooted, cleaning it fixed the problem [14:19] !aptmirror [14:19] edwardteach: you mean recreate the problem and then go look at the dmesg file? [14:19] I'm trying to install an i386 package I downloaded on my Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 system, but the package installer is saying "Wrong architecture: i386". I do have libc6-i386 installed. Why won't it let me install it? [14:19] Checking out the link you gave me. This is actually very very helpful @tucemiux [14:19] im using linux mint and there's no default .bash_aliases, will this work if i manually create one? [14:19] meco, after reboot check the messages yes ! [14:19] Now I know what to look for. [14:20] edwardteach: ok, I will do that [14:20] !mint | JackStoner [14:20] JackStoner: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [14:20] MTughan_laptop: what package¿ [14:20] xangua: TigerVNC. [14:20] Now I'm almost afraid to look as I just heard my computer make some strange sound a minute after it restarted. [14:20] Hi, I need to watch a MPEG-4 Movie, but it says I need Xvid Codec. Is there a linux version of it? If not, a replacement? [14:21] Something tht can run mpeg-4 movies [14:21] ChriH: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [14:21] unetbootin says 7z not found how do i fix that [14:21] gpc: Yes, I'm aware of apt-mirror. However it seems to download *alot*. I tried to mirror maverick/main and it is going to download 30G. I just need 100Megs or so of packages [14:22] hi [14:22] !aptoncd > sveinse [14:22] sveinse, please see my private message [14:22] gpc: Well thanks, anyways [14:22] sveinse: maybe that will be what you need [14:22] xangua : Won't that install all the non free softwares? [14:22] linuxman410: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full [14:22] hey all, how do I navigate to the menu bar without the mouse? [14:22] ChriH: There's no free decoder for H.264. [14:23] MTughan_laptop, xangua : ok, I will go with the restricted extras [14:23] Thanks :) [14:23] ah nm [14:23] how to send a private message? [14:23] xangua: Any clue about my package install? [14:24] okay now I have another problem [14:24] linuxman410: udo aptitude install p7zip-full ( it in universe repository) [14:24] sudo [14:24] FoxHelo: In IRC? "/msg PM", or you can open a separate window typically with "/quote ", replacing both times with who you want to contact. [14:24] my netbooks touchpad was working, and after a reboot I can only use my bluetooth mouse [14:24] MTughan_laptop: mmm nop, why don't you try a vnc that supports your architecture ¿ [14:25] PhonicUK: press the key combination con disable/enable touchpad [14:25] xangua: I've tried a couple that are supported by Ubuntu in its repos, but I haven't found one I like nearly as much like TigerVNC I used in Fedora. [14:25] what is that combination? [14:25] What does the dmesg log show? How far back does it go? [14:25] I don't think my netbook has suck a combination [14:25] Hiyas [14:25] (It's a HP Mini 311c) [14:26] I have a disk with an ext4 partition and about 5GB of unallocated space. I tried to add this with GParted but I cant grow it, it seems to be "fixed". How do I do this? [14:26] Anyone know how i can mount a usb stick (my phone plugged in via usb, with sdcard in it) via command line? [14:26] sebrock: Are you booted into that partition now, or do you have it mounted somewhere? [14:27] MTughan_laptop: I'm in a liveCD, nothing mounted [14:27] Sengoku: With the mount command. You'll need root, the /dev device it's at, and a mountpoint to mount it at. [14:28] sebrock: You'll have to give me a second here. I seem to have missed gparted in my install here. [14:28] MTughan_laptop: googling.. [14:28] okay now this is weird [14:28] clicking "shut down" makes Ubuntu log me out [14:29] instead of shutting the machine down [14:29] wtf [14:29] MTughan_laptop: i don't know what any of that is..i see the device i'm looking for in /dev/disk/by-id, not sur eif that'll help or not [14:29] MTughan_laptop: problem is that it says 0 MB following the ext4. And then below is SWAP. Below that is the unallocated space. [14:30] How is the dmesg log helpful in finding the reason for the crash of the previous session if it only logs the current session? [14:30] Sengoku: It will. Where would you like to see the SD card on your filesystem? In /mount, or somewhere else? [14:30] but I cant seem to use the unallocated space at all [14:30] ah it appears fine now after a reboot :) [14:30] sebrock: Ah, well that could be a problem. You'll have to move the swap into the unallocated space, either by moving or deleting and readding, and then extend the ext4 partition. If you're in a LiveCD now, the swap shouldn't be in use. [14:30] i found a bug on BestBot... if you ask him what's the bes ubuntu (expecting the version), it returns: The BESTEST Ubuntu is firefox [14:31] PhonicUK, yes that happens if you logged in with the cli [14:31] aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah [14:31] i had a cli open to sort out grub xD [14:31] ty [14:31] MTughan_laptop: in /mount is fine, i tailed my messages, "new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3", scsi3 : usb-storage 1-1:1.0 [14:31] hcitool scan fails says time out [14:31] HI [14:32] i need to build a website for a t-shirt seller but i was long time out of webbuilding and I ask for help for build the website [14:33] Sengoku: All right. So you'll have to make a new folder/directory in /mount. You'll need to be in the CLI for all this. "sudo mkdir foldernametomountat" (change that at will), then "sudo mount /dev/disk/by-id foldernametomountat" and modify as needed. [14:33] My screensaver crashes the pc and this also happens when I try to access it to turn it off. How can I deal with this? [14:33] pablii, this isn't the place to ask for web development advice [14:33] !ot | paplii: use contao or joomla [14:33] paplii: use contao or joomla: #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! [14:33] MTughan_laptop: this is how it looks in GParted: http://d.pr/Hvs0 [14:33] MTughan_laptop: I've now formatted the space to ext4 [14:33] I need MySQL - version 5.0 or higher.. What package would that be? The client one? [14:33] Sengoku: When you're done, you can do "sudo umount /mount/foldertomountat" and then "sudo rmdir /mount/foldertomountat" [14:34] sebrock: Okay, you have a bit more work to do then... You'd like to to extend /dev/sdb1? [14:34] !dmesg > meco [14:34] meco, please see my private message [14:34] MTughan_laptop: correct [14:34] skilz: mysql-server-5.1 [14:35] sebrock: So delete the sdb3 you made, then delete the swap partition and the extended partition it's in. [14:35] !dmesg > edwardteach [14:35] edwardteach, please see my private message [14:35] edwardteach: It doesn't tell me what I need to know, unfortunately [14:35] sebrock: Extend sdb1, leaving 274MiB at the end, then remake the extended partition and swap partition within it, in that order. [14:35] MTughan_laptop: I got it. Thank you! [14:36] You don't really need the swap to be in an extended partition, but I'd remake it just to maintain the look from before. [14:36] I've been looking at some virtualisation solutions, and I was wondering how hard it is to migrate existing servers to a ubuntu entrrise cloud [14:36] I'm looking hard and long at the dmesg log without knowing what to look for or seeing anything that looks useful. I don't even know where to look for the last events before restart. [14:36] Hey, gents! [14:37] VagaStorm1: Depends on your etup [14:37] Can anyone tell me what it means when the Ubuntu installer won't load? [14:37] IE I boot from CD, get a blank screen for ten seconds or so and then get a blinking cursor. [14:37] Anyone who helps me out gets one redeemable hi 5 over internet [14:38] Hello, I try to boot on ubuntu 10.10 live cd but i have this problem : getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) [14:38] MTughan_laptop: Thanks a lot, all my stuff's backed up :) Now an i can mess around trying to fix ubuntu :( [14:38] RickyHarline: Are you choosing the graphical install? [14:38] Yes [14:38] Sengoku: np [14:38] There is a lot of same problem in internet but no solution [14:38] RickyHarline: Almost sounds like X is failing to load. Have you tried a text install instead? [14:38] No, I haven't. How would I go about doing this? [14:39] !alternate | RickyHarline [14:39] RickyHarline: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [14:39] Awesome! [14:39] MTughan_laptop: you haven't had your screen ever turn into black and white checkerboard after boot after doing an update have you? [14:39] I shall try this. [14:39] *hi 5s all around* [14:39] :) [14:39] Sengoku: Nope, I haven't. I've had my computer lock at random times after updates though. [14:40] meco, dmesg | grep "error" [14:40] Hello, I am using ubuntu 10.10 on a MacBook. The update manager wants to perform a partial upgrade and remove grub-efi, which I require. How do I stop it from removing grub-efi? [14:40] schnuffle: I have a few servers running diffrent services, mainly (web/dns/mail) on centos or windows 2003. some of them dos a bit of work, and some, espechaly dns, dos hardly anything(it's still rater important that its runing smothly) [14:40] how do you connect BT to in 8.04 [14:40] edwardteach: not found [14:41] meco, hmm! [14:41] VagaStorm1: With cloud you means some local virtualization setup? [14:41] What's the advantage of installing Maverick, versus like Ubuntu 8.10 === piotr_ is now known as Davidoff [14:41] I've transfer 93% of a very large file using scp However it Times out. How can i get the other 8% ? [14:41] anyone knows a tool to download ustream live streaming?

[14:42] jellow: use rync over ssh, which can resume [14:42] rsync [14:43] Sengoku: Not typically. [14:43] qnix, streamripper?

[14:44] schnuffle: none of it is virtualized now, but I've been looking at a few diffrent solutions, but I'd prefer something that dosent mean I have to set up each server from scratch. Some sytems have the option to "grab" a physical server [14:44] meco, what did you do ? [14:45] hw to run osprey card driver on ubuntu [14:45] schnuffle: good idea , Looking at the man pages [14:46] VagaStorm1: so openvz is no option, have a look at http://www.montanalinux.org/physical-to-virtual.html [14:46] hw to run osprey card driver on ubuntu [14:46] hw to run osprey card driver on ubuntu [14:46] hmm, im using mobile broadband and running apache, my friend cant access my computer from the internet, what could it be? automatically blocked or portforwarding needed?

[17:37] meerapakay, i doubt it can. If you've deleted the files from an ext3 or ext4 partition, you are probably "out of luck" consider it gone for good. I hope you find different info though (and if you do i'm sure the channel would love to get an update - i would) [17:37] meerapakay: testdisk recovers lost partitions and comes with "photorec" that recovers various types of files [17:37] i cant enable my wirless http://paste.ubuntu.com/556882/ [17:38] !repeat | new [17:38] new: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[18:57] ded0, go with the nvidia ones.. they have vdpau support and allow hardware decoding of HD [18:57] jer: just download the 10.10 live ISO, and use unetbootin [18:57] Pudabudigada i using msn and skype i have problem [18:57] dotblank: thank you [18:57] KM0201, unetbootin doesn't run on osx [18:57] unless you know something i don't [18:57] jer: then you should've mentioend that. most people don't use OSX [18:58] KM0201, i did explicitly mention i'm on a mac several minutes ago [18:58] jer: sorry, i wasn't following your every word [18:58] I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) alongside Windows 7 (64). I used automatic partioning and the installation went fine, but the boot loader isn't showing up on startup, e.g. it automatically boots into windows. Any suggestions? [18:59] KM0201, no need to apologize (even sarcastically), but there's also no reason to be a dick about something if i've previously mentioned it [18:59] jer: well, being a dick would have been telling you to "just google it"... [18:59] thanks i ll be back at night [18:59] Hi. My Pentium 4 systems stopped freezing after switching from 2.6.35 back to 2.6.32. How would one try to find the cause of this? :-/ [18:59] xil: you can try 'grep LoadModule /var/log/Xorg.0.log' and see if you see your module being set to load [18:59] jer: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html [18:59] jer: found that w/ minimum effort [19:00] bye and learn more an share it [19:00] KM0201, yeah i can google too, and the #4 steps don't work [19:00] jer: dunno.. i'd suspect user malfunction [19:00] they're the same steps on the ubuntu.com site which don't actually function. granted, those steps worked fine for 9.10 and 10.04 [19:00] bantu: may be 2.6.35 is a lot 'cooler' than 2.6.32!!;) [19:01] KM0201, perhapsi t's unicorns then [19:01] when you install ubuntu and open rhythmbox for the first time and then go to Magnatune or Jamendo in the 'stores list' it gives you some information about them, but it times out and it goes away before you can read it. (1) Why? and (2) How can you get that information back to read it? [19:01] ciao a tutti [19:01] Jose_Cuervo, Go into vlc and then Media>Open capture device. [19:01] KM0201: What up? [19:02] mellin: ? i dunno.. should something be? [19:02] KM0201: Nope, just getting ready to install 10.10 on my toshiba laptop. [19:02] KM0201: Do you know if I install now from the live system [19:02] mellin: you can... do you need help or something? [19:02] KM0201: if it will transfer my drivers? [19:03] mellin: no, it won't transfer your drivers, you'll have to do everything again after you install [19:03] Currently running Ubuntu9.04, would like to upgrade straight to Ubuntu10.10 (but update manager wants me to upgrade to 9.10 first, then probably 10.04, THEN to 10.10) -- can I skip those two middle steps and upgrade from 9.04 directly to 10.10? [19:03] KM0201: Ok my question then is how at boot do I edit grub to use the "nomodeset" option to be able to get into the system then update to nvidia drivers [19:04] dotblank: i tried enabling log, but nothing is being logged [19:04] callaghan, clean install [19:04] mellin: how did you do it w/ the live cd? [19:04] hi all. I want to send a notification, like the nice ones I get from networkmanager, from a bash script. Is there a way to do that? [19:04] brontoeee: really? -- that's rather inconvenient. [19:04] KM0201: I used F6 and it was already there as a bootparm [19:05] mellin: oh so you need to add that as a boot parameter... um, hang on a sec [19:05] hey guys how to enable boot log with ubuntu ? [19:05] KM0201: Inded after I install [19:05] callaghan, really? or is it better to do a 3 step upgrade that will almost certainly ended borken...., your choice [19:05] mudit1141, what is the problem? [19:05] anyone know how to create one of those pop-up notifications from cli/bash script? [19:05] hi [19:06] brontoeee: why does Ubuntu allow upgrading distributions if it will just break? [19:06] Someone uses MTPaint - graphics editor ? [19:06] callaghan: You know you can keep your home partition? [19:06] callaghan, i'am just an average user, address the channek with this question [19:06] mellin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604305 [19:06] *channel [19:06] nit-wit: I am getting boot issues with my ubuntu hardy, I actually switched on my machine after 6 months [19:06] callaghan, take a backup of your files and try to do a direct upgrade - if that fails do a clean install [19:06] KM0201: K thanks dude! [19:06] hi! [19:07] ok somehow on my top bar on ubuntu i deleted the little envelope that tells me that i have mail or ims how do i get that back [19:07] mellin: I do; but one would still have to re-install apps, reconfigure, etc. -- plus -- when you backup your home directly, do a clean install, it's not exactly clear if you can just "dump" your home dir into the clean install. I always figured that files/params changed ... [19:07] callaghan: it doesn't aways break.. but soemtimes it does. [19:07] mellin: i.e. hidden folders [19:07] mudit1141, can youdescribe this problem and any othe OS on the computer [19:07] callaghan: just like the upgrade function w/ windows, sometiems breaks... more often than not though, it works [19:07] KM0201; ok thalnsk, fair enough [19:08] callaghan: Whatever you have to reinstall would overwrite the contents of the hidden folders. [19:08] Someone uses MTPaint - graphics editor ? [19:08] callaghan: i'd venture a guess most people that have upgrade problems(i never upgrade, always clean install) have 3rd party repositories that they do not disable before the upgrade, and they start pulling in upgrades, and BANG... busted [19:08] Hello [19:08] nit-wit: on the screen i get >>> Running DKMS auto ........[OK], and after that the cursor blinks and blinks [19:08] Henflin: why would someone do that, when there's gimp? [19:08] callaghan: It is a widely accepted option to put /home on a seperate partition for this reason. Then you don't lose everything ;D [19:09] i have accidently deleted the envelope on my top bar that tells me i have email or im's how do i get that back [19:09] Henflin: Checkout grokking the gimp in google [19:09] any musicplayer with safe party mode with music-wish-function?

[19:10] Henflin: no... if it ca be compared to anything, it's more like photoshop, but it has a steep learning curve [19:10] no its better [19:10] Ok good [19:10] Henflin: why don't you try typing "sudo apt-get install gimp" and see :) [19:10] KM0201, so does photoshop [19:10] THx alot [19:10] Henflin: GIMP is more powerful than gimp, yes it's free, you can find it in the software center. [19:10] is like photoshop [19:10] My problem: I'm using ubuntu on my laptop that has dual boot with windows. After grub upgrade I (ofcourse) had to tell ubuntu "where it is". After this success, I've lost windows... what should I do now? Simple fix mbr with win.cd would work? [19:11] also when i done du -sh at root ..i can see 12 gb only [19:11] can someone please help me [19:11] Barnabas: no dobut about that... but my point is, since most have experience w/ PS, they can't just translate that experience righ to gimp(much like those who have windows, can't just tranaslate that experience to Ubuntu, but you know how every new user is "computer literate") [19:11] pls help me [19:11] SungSam, better to add a windows entry to your grub [19:11] xgalacitcaxdavid: Add "indicator applet' back to the panel.

The Macs/other PC works fine with the same router and protocols, two wifi and one wired, the BluRay also works fine on both. so I'm thinking the problem is w/ something on the netbook. ifconfig shows all the interfaces, just not connecting out. dhclient times out when requesting an IP on both wired and wifi.

[19:22] raven, how do you define safe :-) [19:23] Barnabas, possible to access the desktop [19:23] you said that u can see in Nautilus (which is equivalent of Windows Explorer)....

[19:24] hi, i'm running Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, and I'm trying to get some programs that work in wine to work in the 64 bit version, and I did some research and apparently i need 32 bit opengl libraries to make my wine games work in the 64 bit version... so i'm wondering what packages i need to install for 32 bit opengl functionality in 64 bit ubuntu lts? [19:24] what seems to be the problem now? [19:24] raven, delete the guest user after the party [19:24] Hi everyone. Is anyone familiar with a guide to completely eliminate pulseaudio and use pure alsa in ubuntu 10.10? [19:24] Can someone give me some honest feedback on the number of lockups with Ubuntu compared to SUSE? [19:24] okee, not possible [19:25] ronr__, probably not a good idea actually === paissad_ is now known as paissad [19:25] would anybody know what package i would need to install to get 32 bit compatibility drivers for openGL in LTS 10.04.1/x86_64? [19:25] okee, to many variable s, starting with your hardware, what is it? [19:26] pink_freud, 32bit openGL? could you give more detail on what you are doing? I've never run into a problem with OpenGL 32/64bit. === Freeaqingme_ is now known as Freeaqingme [19:26] I am running a Thinkpad W510 with an Intel processor. I hear the Intel doesn't work very well with SUSE 11.3, the latest. [19:27] nit-wit: i am trying to transfer the boot scrip through USB, the ubuntu is accepting the USB, but where do I copy from ? [19:27] i mean I dont know the directory etc [19:27] ZykoticK9, i am trying to make WOW work in wine like it used to on my 32 bit install a while back [19:27] I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and Rhythmbox on my old Tecra 8000, which should serve as mp3player. Now I found out, that the playback of mp3s is totally slow with rhythmbox and costs a lot of cpu. Is this a known gstreamer problem? [19:27] pls have a look, when i opened places->admin->disk utility i can see my hdd partitions..but how can see the same as folders in the file system? [19:27] am using ubuntu 9.10 [19:27] from what i understand, i need some sort of 32 bit compatibility drivers [19:27] pink_freud, sorry i'm not a big wine guy - best of luck [19:27] k, thx [19:28] type "nautilus &" in a terminal [19:28] wihtout the quotes [19:28] Does the wireless work in the latest Ubuntu? [19:28] mudit1141, open the thumb drag the script to the desk top then run the command on the links page. [19:28] pink_freud, ia32-libs is the basic 32bit compatibility package - see getlibs script for specific 32bit library installs (very handy) [19:28] ZykoticK9: well, I have this weird issue. as long as pulseaudio is installed, I can't get sound from XBMC no matter what setting I try. when I remove it, I have great sound in xbmc but 'regular' sound doesn't play (like sound on youtube). [19:28] thx ZykoticK9 [19:29] ronr__, that's why i said probably not a good idea - it will kill "Ubuntu" sound. [19:29] pls help me [19:29] Does the wireless connectoid work in the latest ubuntu? [19:29] ronr__, i had an emulator that wouldn't work with Pulse installed too - i stopped using it. [19:29] apparently i already have the ia32-libs package installed :-/ [19:30] okee, yes it does [19:30] ZykoticK9: but how can I solve the issue with xbmc otherwise? from what I understand, pulseaudio doesn't allow spdif passthrough audio. [19:30] I am switching. The wireless doesn't work in SUSE. Does Ubuntu currently support both gnome as well as KDE? [19:30] ronr__, have to tried starting xbmc with "padsp XBMC_BIN"? worth a shot. [19:30] When I have the same apps running (rhythmbox) but I do the playback with mplayer, the cpu usage is much slower. [19:31] pls have a look, when i opened places->admin->disk utility i can see my hdd partitions..but how can see the same as folders in the file system? [19:31] nit-wit: lol, i am not that dumb.. I am asking I am not able to locate the inserted disk on the ubuntu terminal [19:31] mudit1141: what disk? usb or dvd [19:31] ronr__, i don't know what the xbmc binary is called - replace with the proper executable [19:31] ZykoticK9: what would that do? as it may already be obvious, I'm quite new to ubuntu and xbmc:) [19:32] magicianlord: well its an external flash HDD [19:32] pink_freud, try nvidia-glx-ia32 [19:32] ronr__, padsp will try to emulate the old sound system for whatever command follows it [19:32] barnabas: i'm using an ATI chipset [19:32] pink_freud, ok [19:32] hey guys, back again. [19:33] mudit1141, I to be honest can not tell what your talking about. As I understand you have a computer with hardy that will not boot, can you be ,more exacting in the process your doing. [19:33] ZykoticK9: yeah, just man'ed it. not sure it makes sense but is there a simila command with alsa? [19:33] pink_freud, you will need the same for ATI then, dont know the name of that pkg [19:34] ronr__, even better! try pasuspender [19:34] nit-wit:I agree [19:34] Will single clikc mouse work in gnome? [19:34] I'm still having trouble with my bluetooth adapter. So, basically I can't enable bluetooth. When I try to do it, just nothing happens. Thing is, when I put the USB bluetooth adapter into a "fresh" USB port, everything's working fine.

I'll reinstall pulseaudio and give it a try. Thanks! :) [19:34] *to [19:34] until I reboot. after that bluetooth is disabled and I can't re-enable it after that.

I've tried konsole (which I use at work) but it doesn't seem to have good zooming features like terminal-gnome has.

[19:40] ZykoticK9, thanks [19:40] mudit1141, boot a live cd, use the thumb to transfer the bootscript to the desktop, then run the command on the link page. If you in the recovery have you tried getting in that way. [19:40] kanusss, unix like systems dont use drive letters [19:40] Diamondcite: no, it seems as if it's somehow remembering the ports I used.

[19:41] ksmith: Please use pastebin to paste. [19:42] kanusss: can you go to 'Ssytem-Administration-System Monitor' then view tab 'File Systems' [19:42] ok, wait a sec ... [19:42] kanusss, why don't you install gparted as I suggested. I think y9ur being to vague here you can see the partitions in the home sidebar , and in the disc manager [19:42] yes ..i can see it [19:42] nit-wit: can't the script be copied without the live CD ? wont the USB be detected ?

[19:53] charlesno: Just type exit, or ctrl+d or logout [19:53] Necavit: through jockey (hardware installer). ok. start up the computer and hold shift while it boots. at the grub menu, select recovery mode, then at hte next window, drop to root without networking. from there, type nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. then go to hte bottom of the file and add "blacklist nouveau" without quotes. then hit control+o and control+x to exit. [19:53] that means when i paste one film 5GB to /home will point the same into /dev/sda3 right? [19:53] Diamondcite, thanks [19:54] kanusss: Yes, your /home and / are using the SAME space.

My motherboard supports up to pc400. I put in each stick of pc400 alone and did memtest (no fails) then put in all 3 and rebooted. now I am getting kernel panic. nothing else has changed. I can't give error verbatim, because I'm doing another memtest with all 3 sticks. any other ideas??? [19:55] anyone flash a bios in linux? [19:55] when i look at man pages for something, how do i exit it and go back to where i was on the terminal? [19:56] charlesno: press q on keyboard [19:56] ahhh awesome [19:56] kanusss: From a technical standpoint. sda3 is the first usable extended parition for a system. This is done so that in the event you want to install say.. Windows you can do so without too much mass interruption. [19:56] birdman_, i just updated my ASUS BIOS which supported using a USB key with the file on it and doing it directly from BIOS [19:56] kanusss: As for putting everything in sda3 instead of splitting it up, it give you more useable space instead of seperating system VS personal [19:57] my system isn't recognizing blank optical discs that I put in the drive [19:57] can someone help? [19:57] thefinn93, try to open the system log viewer and reinsert the disk [19:57] thefinn93, what are you trying to do? what do you expect the system to do with a blank disk? or is this from a burning software? [19:58] thefinn93, some of the log file names should turn into bold typeface [19:58] why not sda,sda1 and sda2 ? [19:58] sda is the first boot sector? [19:58] kanusss, sda = the drive itself [19:58] ZykoticK9: I'm trying to burn an ISO, but nothing indicates that there is a disc in the drive [19:59] means the mbr section..first 52 bytes [19:59] thefinn93, do non-blank disks mount properly? [19:59] 512 [19:59] usually [19:59] kanusss, sda is NOT the MBR [19:59] kanusss: sda1 is the only place windows will install into. [19:59] then whre the MBR resides? [19:59] kanusss: usually it's sda1. sda (the a is disk #1, and the 1 is the first partition) [19:59] Barnabas: Ok i did that. nothing showed up in bold [19:59] kanusss: MBR is inside sda (no numbers) and isn't normally reachable in a filemanager. [19:59] yes yes i know..means hd0,0 [19:59] kanusss: ubuntu installs to two partitions by default [19:59] kanusss, it's on sda - but you seem to be confusing the drive with the MBR [20:00] ok [20:00] magicianlord: hi there again! After having done all you told me, I shall restart the computer, is it right? [20:00] then, can u pls give me the flow of GRUB ,Kernel and free soace? [20:00] in partition wise [20:00] ? === donald is now known as Guest79018 [20:01] kanusss: Everything your system resides in sda3. GRUB isn't inside the MBR, instead the MBR points to where grub is stored. [20:01] kanusss, Grub installs in two places - the MBR and point to /boot/grub for it's config stuff. You won't see MBR anywhere [20:01] yes yes [20:02] MBR resides in the first boot sector of hdd , in 512 bytes [20:02] it point to the GRUB location and after executing the GRUB it points for the Kernel image [20:02] the mbr is where companies can store information about your computer [20:03] without the user knowing [20:03] hello... exist any method with apt-get to "undo" all installed packages after clean install?

[20:07] sketcher: ive heard it may be a featuer some day however. [20:08] ouch [20:08] theres no real way for the system to 'tell' its back to defaults or not.

(See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:24] why does ubuntu never shutdown when the battery is low, when set to do so? it lets the battery drain completely. thi is on several laptops. is this broken or how to fix ti via backend [20:24] Ok Thanks, I thought it is easier to get it by apt [20:24] Viper92Z, if you add the partner repo - then just "sudo apt-get install skype" [20:24] Henflin, there is no need to run gimp with sudo or gksudo as far as i know [20:24] charlesno: there is no need for one. You are giving root privs to an application which 99.9% of the time does not need it. [20:24] Oh alright then, that's what I wanted [20:24] brontoeee Ok thx [20:24] Thanks again :) [20:24] makes sense, thanks [20:24] hello [20:24] So why there is GKSudo ?? What could it give me advantages in other situations ??? [20:24] gpc: i dunno about that, sometimes its handy to run nautilus as root... but most of the time, i'd agree w/ you [20:25] !gksudo | Henflin [20:25] Henflin: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [20:25] hom to UNinstall apps with terminal? [20:25] Henflin: gksudo is for running application with sudo that are graphical, and without keeping terminal open. [20:25] thx [20:25] julian, "sudo apt-get remove foo" [20:25] KM0201: like I said when you do need sudo privs use gksudo GUIAPP [20:25] julian: sudo apt-get remove packagename [20:25] gpc: oh i thought you said it shoud never be necessary... must have misunderstood [20:25] i m crappy idiot... xD was tipping uninstall... [20:26] TheDok: what is rutorrent? [20:26] Thank you [20:26] !manual | julian [20:26] julian: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [20:26] vlt: whenever I try to stop the booting when it is stuck [20:26] does anyone know a commandline tool to display current joystick positions!? [20:26] it says "Stopping GNome display manager" [20:27] ZykoticK9, hmm, that page really doesnt explain anything, maybe only that sudo command is buggy [20:27] hd1: did you ever get that connection issue worked out? [20:27] OMG ubottu THANKS!!! [20:27] heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr [20:27] brontoeee, using sudo will put files owned by root in your home directory, NOT what you want - breaks things. [20:27] heeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [20:28] G'day to you all :) [20:28] ZykoticK9: like sudo rm -r /boot? ;) [20:28] cybercaffe: do you have a Ubuntu support question? [20:28] bastidrazor, it's the webui for rtorrent? [20:28] yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss [20:28] magicianlord, that not cool to write that in this channel [20:28] ZykoticK9, yeah, but sudo isnt supposed to be root right? its supposed to make a user with temporarily elevated privilegies, right ? [20:28] cybercaffe, please stop [20:28] cybercaffe: please stop. Do you have an ubuntu-related support question? [20:28] brontoeee, sudo = root [20:29] !find rutorrent [20:29] why there is no viruses for ubuntu? [20:29] Package/file rutorrent does not exist in maverick [20:29] i have a question. how do i change the resolution on my monitor [20:29] !virus | cybercaffe [20:29] cybercaffe: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [20:29] I can format my drives 900gb partition but cannot create any file systems on it ( stops at near the same block every time ) how do I fix this ? [20:29] !resolution | evancorbo [20:29] Anyone here willing to help me fix my ubuntu install, it won't boot after i've installed it [20:29] evancorbo: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [20:29] I've hear that GIMP can have extencions... (like chromium), how do i install/download them? [20:29] TheDok: rutorrent does not exist. are you trying to compile rtorent or ? [20:29] evancorbo: there's a "Display Properties" program in your System menu that you should try first [20:29] -option is a variable, but what is --word? I've seen this in a few things. e.g. command -h or command --help [20:29] can I see a list of available wireless networks from the command line? [20:29] Sorbo_: you too [20:30] julian: #gimp can help you with that [20:30] omg... thanks [20:30] possibly a wireless connection manager that I can run from a terminal window? [20:30] why on windows a lot viruses and for ubuntu 0 viruses? [20:30] what do you mean it doesn't exist bastidrazor ? o.0 [20:30] mister_m: sudo iw dev wlan0 scan [20:30] mister_m: sudo iwlist scan [20:30] julian: http://registry.gimp.org/ and read http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-scripting.html#gimp-concepts-plugins [20:30] !find rutorrent | TheDok [20:30] mister_m: or sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [20:30] TheDok: Package/file rutorrent does not exist in maverick [20:30] cybercaffe, see the link Ubottu gave you [20:30] ldz420 yes, it seems that the grub bootloader won't start, even though it's located on the first boot disk/same disk as ubuntu [20:31] cybercaffe: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus it explains why [20:31] right, and that's why you use wget? [20:31] what is the difference between a single dash and a double dash? e.g -h or --help? [20:31] chovynz: usually short (one-letter) options have a single '-' [20:31] so what' [20:31] chovynz, single dash usually has a single letter after it, while -- usually has a word. They both do the same thing. [20:31] ZykoticK9, ok then i dont understant..., i thought sudo is current-user with some temporary magic powers === darkwurm_ is now known as darkwurm [20:32] brontoeee, sudo means "run as root" [20:32] bastidrazor, ok, after I scan the list, how do I pick one to connect to? [20:32] sorbo_: I am not the greatest at this but let's take a look.. does it give an error message? or just hangs? [20:32] jrib ZykoticK9 so if you were explaining something to a newbie you would use --word because most commands are self-explanatory? [20:32] does anyone know a cmdlinetool for disülaying the current joystick position [20:32] ZykoticK9, sudo = substitude user do no? [20:33] chovynz: if your goal is to have the command seem less mysterious, then yes, you should use long options [20:33] UBUNTU WILL FUCK UP WINDOWS))) NEVER [20:33] brontoeee, su is switch user, sudo is switch user for one program [20:33] !language | cybercaffe [20:33] cybercaffe: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [20:33] hello, i have problem with compiz - i remove it by mistake and then installed it after that, but when i want to enable visual effects is nothing happened === craSh is now known as Guest44523 [20:33] sorbo_: also if error message is long you might want to put it in a paste bin [20:34] jrib and if I wanted to learn it the command lines properly, it would be best for me to use --words instead of short terms, for now, until I learn what they do and the short version? [20:34] Anyone here with knowledge on how to kick GRUB in the face and make it boot ubuntu, cause after a day of trying endlessly i'm starting to get a bit sick of it :P [20:34] Sorbo_: I've recently had to do this. what's up? [20:35] h4mm3r: take a look at the joystick package in Synaptic [20:35] chovynz: I don't know. Personally, I mostly use short options because they are faster to type (just look them up to know what they do) [20:35] if i want to create a file, "touch test", how do I make it so this file contains the word "hello" [20:35] charlesno: echo hello > test [20:36] mister_m: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "theEssid" (replace wlan0 with your wireless device) and sudo dhclient wlan0 [20:36] jrib, thanks [20:36] jrib : also one last Q. There are so many cmds how should I proceed with learning them? do I print them out? Seems like a huge man print to me. [20:36] charlesno: check out a bash tutorial and read the section on redirection [20:36] !bash > charlesno [20:36] charlesno, please see my private message [20:36] chovynz: nope, you'll learn them as you use them [20:37] chovynz: I've installed ubuntu (livecd and usb, several tries), restarted my pc and now ubuntu won't start. It seems that Grub doesn't work, since it just runs through POST, and does absolutely nothing but display a flashing underscore/line after that === SuP|Lobby is now known as nadaa [20:37] Sorbo_: Ok, so, I'll go back to basics ... is your bios detecting your HD? [20:37] how do i turn off pass authentication at the log in screen? [20:37] jrib ok thanks man [20:38] chovynz: Perfectly. It contained windows before this, has been formatted in ext4 through the installer [20:38] chovynz: it is selected as the primary boot device as well [20:38] grkblood, System / Admin / Login Screen - to set autologin (you'll probably still have to type a password for keyring though) [20:38] hello, i have problem with compiz - i remove it by mistake and then installed it after that, but when i want to enable visual effects is nothing happened [20:38] chovynz: http://ss64.com/bash/ [20:39] can i make so when pc boots i dont havr to press num lock everytime?

[20:48] mudit1141, I'm not as familiar with grub-legacy as grub2, if it was me I would just download the supergrub disc and see if you can get in. You could also psot a thread at the ubuntu forums and probably get it fixed post the script in its whole just the full text in continuous stanzas in code tags. [20:48] oh so the rules contradict peoples rights?

[20:50] I think you guys have missed chrislustic's matter, and are now being a little unfair. [20:50] nit-wit: okies, I will post on the ubuntu forums.

[21:17] erUSUL: I haven't configured anything yet, however, when I had the server HD on THIS machine I could access 192.168.1.6, and it could access the server (only there was no info on it.) I then moved my server HD to another box, so that I could have the server and this machine running at the same time. TBC [21:17] !nox | craigbass1976 [21:17] craigbass1976: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [21:17] erUSUL: been googling also. seems i might of scanned as a slide insteda of a negative. :) the scanner software is supposd to do the conversion. [21:17] ge2x: i see, then your support for your OS isn't here. This is Ubuntu support only [21:18] ge2x: then how are we supposed to know in which package ( you have no package manager so no packages ) would you find it? [21:18] craigbass1976: i do 'sudo service gdm restart' the init,d/stuff is rather outdated [21:18] how fast is nfs over ssh (compared to sftp, for instance) [21:18] erUSUL: I fixed up teh probs that moving teh HD caused and now I have two running machines. one desktop, one server. Only this time, the server doesn't seem to work the way It was setup from a blank server install. [21:19] erUSUL: well I need to find out which package I should compile to get that command [21:19] chovynz: what i am asking is how do you set up the connection in the server ... you use /etc/network/interfaces ? [21:19] Dr_Willis: but it does the same thing, yes? I got used to service when I was running fedora, but ubuntu (dapper I think) didn't have that, so I got "un-used" to it [21:19] erUSUL: yea.. it looks a lot better if i learned to use the scanenr software. :) [21:19] erUSUL: Nope. I haven't done anything like that yet. [21:19] craigbass1976: service command has been around for quite a few releases of ubuntu now. [21:19] craigbass1976: its not identcial to rh's but its close.

[22:22] brontoeee - yeah, it's kinda annoying since the basic authentication works. have you gotten digest authentication to work before? [22:23] saliak, i dont remember, try in #ubuntu-server ? [22:24] saliak, or better #httpd [22:27] what files AREN'T included if you exclude -a from the ls command [22:27] monteith: hidden files/dir [22:28] okay, and a file would be classified as hidden by... [22:28] monteith: btw hidden files/dirs in unix are the ones which names begin with a dot [22:29] okay, that's exactly what i was looking for [22:29] thanks [22:29] !addingfs | sosaited [22:29] sosaited: If you are adding space to your Ubuntu installation mounting a newly created unix filesystem (ext3, xfs, jfs, etc) you can not set permissions (read, write, etc) filesystem-wide like you do when mounting filesystems that do not support unix permissions (vfat, ntfs, hfs, etc). See !permissions and !fstab [22:32] erUSUL: I don't want to set any permissions, I just want to be able to write to the partitions when I click and automount them [22:33] sosaited: not how things work in unix. you can set open permissions in th mont point so anyone can read writte execute in it ( setting fstab to mount allways in the same place ) [22:33] how can I capture audio data from my soundcard and convert it to mp3? [22:35] erUSUL: But none of my other partitions on other drives have permanent entries in Fstab, and I can open/mount them in nautilus and then write to them easily. [22:36] erUSUL: I would rather not have fstab entries for this drive either, but automount and use it whenever I need in Nautilus [22:36] sosaited: that's becouse they are windows/ntfs/fat partitions. they do not support unix permissions model so the system cheats to make life easier to casual users [22:38] how can i view information about my computer, like processor and graphics card [22:38] charlesno: lshw [22:39] erUSUL: I have 4 other ext3/ext4 partitions that mount just fine. The problem seems to be that when I click/mount the newer partitions, their mount points that are created based on the partition labels have the owner set as root [22:39] charlesno: lspci will show you anything on the pci bus [22:39] niko: isn't lshw supposed to ran as sudo? [22:40] sosaited: that's why i said that you have to ( i quote ) « set open permissions in th mont point so anyone can read writte execute in it ( setting fstab to mount allways in the same place ) [22:40] you got less information without sudo yes [22:41] Anyone have any idea how to get gtk-extra on 10.10?

[23:13] stupid question, i know, but not completely clear for me [23:13] derek_: open a terminal and type "rfikill list" no quotes, and hit enter [23:13] ubutom i tried that its weird, it finally sees my network and once i connect and put in password it loads forever and then asksm e password again, finally it says wireless disconnected and im back where i started....

[23:15] Nytek, well, don't really know what the problem was in my case, sometimes they connected and sometimes it took several minutes, I have a laptop with integrated w-lan now and that works like a charm [23:15] it worked on win. KM0201 but linux kinda didn't see that i have a wireless card [23:15] no output at all [23:16] Nytek, so could be chipset-related or whatever [23:16] imok: not really.. the STA driver is slowly being integrated... but the b43, because its restricted, will always be a bit of a hassle [23:16] Leela: i don't care that it worke don windows.. kind of irrelevant.... what is the wireless card.

Just annoying thats all [23:17] its working. i was just asking out of interest if it would stay on the next version somehow if i dont upgrade [23:18] mellin: even if a laptop is wired to a connection... it will still pick up broadcasting ESSIDs, if the wireless is working [23:18] Leela: It matters *how* you got it to work though. [23:18] Hey, gents [23:18] KM0201: what does rfkill do anyways? [23:18] Pici i had to connect wired. went to additional drivers and clicked the driver that was available there === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [23:18] need a howto -- make gmail the default for a stock ubuntu install [23:19] in my case "broadcom sta wireless driver" [23:19] ubutom its weird because if i enable /disable using laptop toggle if its disabled, my wireless shows up in programs like network managers and wifi radar, but at the top built-in network manager ubuntu has it shows my wirlress driver as off.... if i turn it on, it does the opposite no program can detect my driver/wirlress networks in my area but the built-in ubuntu one can see my wirlress... [23:19] derek_: it just lists devices... sometimes it will show devices that are "blocked" and you can unblock them. [23:19] KM0201:: Well if that is the case then my Qosmio is fscked. I see nothing on the top taskbar that shows an option to connect since I have a wired connection plugged in. Now If I go look for the setup for the wireless then I WILL see the ESSID's :-D [23:19] jimcooncat evolution can connect to gmail [23:19] is mysql installed on ubuntu ? [23:19] Leela: Okay, so that means you're using a proprietary driver that is not open source, that is why it cannot be included on the CD, you'll likely have the same issue in 11.04 if there isn't an open source replacement by then. [23:19] markoso: Not by default, but it is in the repositories. [23:20] ok ty pici [23:20] itaylor57: I'd rather not go that route, I belive there's a way to do it ith a browser [23:20] If anyone could lend me some advice I would be much obliged: I have a new laptop which wasn't bringing up the install screen for Ubuntu 10.10 x64, so I got the alternate version. It loads up the install screen, but after I select "Install Ubuntu" the screen goes black. [23:20] mellin: that is strange, cuz i see networks even if i'm wired to my router. [23:20] KM0201: so since it didn't list anything, what does that mean? [23:20] derek_: nothing most likely... i was just curious if you woud see anything [23:20] i see. well as i know it beforehand this time, it wont be a big deal. thanks pici [23:20] Nytek, hm, strange, maybe the guys here can help if you give details about the chipset and so on [23:20] Leela: You're welcome [23:20] Anyone know why I can't even get the installer to work properly? [23:20] RickyHarline: you've checked the disk integrity? [23:20] desktop-webmail? [23:21] In the past, installing Linux has been easier than cooking a poptart for me. [23:21] Um no. [23:21] How do you mean? [23:21] Nytek, does it say in hardware-jockey that it is using resricted drivers for your wireless? [23:21] 593mb for package upgrades.. [23:21] KM0201:: I do have a bluetooth icon...not wireless icon like on my older fujitsu. [23:21] RickyHarline: did you md5sum the disk image after downloading? (first of all) [23:21] 1hr 51mins on my connection.... NO WAY. 33kb/s will not finish that in an hour [23:21] mellin: hmm, what is your wireless device? [23:22] KM0201:: Just a sec and I'll tell you. My laptop is really used as a dekstop usually so I don't use wireless. [23:22] Any idea why 10 removes wine? [23:22] mellin: oh ok... [23:22] imok: 10.what? [23:23] derek_: unfortunately i'm at a loss as to your problem.... i would try the forums... [23:23] ubutom how do i check what it says in hardware jockey? [23:23] Unbuntu 10.. [23:23] I would imagine its 10.4 or something like that [23:23] Nytek, it's under system administration hardware drivers [23:24] imok: the upgrade program disables extra repos (including the wine repo if you've added that) [23:24] it autodetects drivers [23:24] imok: is that what you mean? [23:24] Yes, thanks. [23:24] ubutom oh yea that, it shows broadcom STA wirlress driver as activated and in use [23:24] But still a 593mb download, thats definetly for tonight [23:25] Nytek, then it should work. hm [23:25] I uploaded a Virtual Machine as image to my server, how can I run it? === Ricky_ is now known as Guest95499 [23:25] ubutom i know i followed everything on the ubuntu site for broadcom wirlress drivers but still not working, sucks big time cant do aynthing [23:25] How can I start my VM hosted in my dedicated server ?

[23:40] edbian_: lol, good luck w/ that... that will happen forever [23:40] zatan, primary [23:41] zatan, is the short answer [23:41] edbian_, so /home going to be logical? [23:41] yes [23:41] whats a good gui for MYSQL [23:41] zatan, both primary. Would you like the long explanation? [23:41] on the desktop edition download page (http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download) it says 32-bit is recommended, but at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit it says 64-bit is recommended. why the discrepancy? [23:41] edbian_, no I think I am good ;) [23:41] zatan, ok [23:41] markoso, , there is both a mysqladmin as mysql query tool in ubuntu [23:42] thanks [23:42] zatan, that's too bad though! :( [23:42] rjcmt: 32bit will generally have better hardware support... if you don't have more than 3.5gigs of ram.. you probably won't get much out of 64bit [23:42] hansw, ty [23:42] My Atheros card does not work It is an ar5007 but ubuntu shows it as an ar5001 lshw -C shows it as disabled Any ideas [23:42] hello can you help with problem? unbuntu seems to force a user logoff when there is no activity for a period of time. when you get back to pc you are at the initial logon screen (not the screensaver logon screen) this crashes firefox etc and is annoying. can someone help please?
