[00:38] does anyone have any experience using an iPod/iPhone with Banshee that I could ask some questions to [00:38] Tashia: sure it works fine [00:39] Tashia: you need wireless-tools package [00:39] Tashia: and optionally wpa supplicant if your wireless network is wpa encrypted [00:40] I have a question about this. okay. I installed 10.04 and Nvidea drivers where working and stuff and they showed up in the additional drivers app. but now that im in 10.10 nothing is there. it's really unmanageable without the drivers is there any way to get them?

So for instance if I rate a song on my iPhone and sync it with Banshee, does that rating show up correctly? Will the song be rated in my library? [00:41] maybe u can try 10.10 to see if they hav new drivers [00:41] danst_ What would the wpa package name be?

Anyone here use a webcam on your Ubuntu 64-bit system? [00:42] did you use the original drivers that came with 10.04 or closed source ones?

If I can get this to work then I'm jumping ship. I was hoping to hear from someone who has actually tried this.

Just manage all of your music on the PC and use the device as purely a listening device?

[01:06] Dakrav: why don't you mount them and check which one you need [01:07] KM0201: theLE: try looking on gtkpod [01:07] danst_: w/ a Zune? lol, that won't happen [01:07] danst_: i'm installing ubuntu, and i chose to specify partitions manually. i have win7 on here already, and it took the whole hard drive, so i decreased that, but i'm not sure which one to increase for ubuntu [01:07] oh [01:08] danst_: i used gtkpod a long time ago for an old nano i had.. it worked fine [01:08] KM0201: yes but that seems rather ridiculous. I have a very managed music library, I'd rather not have to boot a VM just to curate and listen to my music [01:08] KM0201: sorry, I thought you were talking about similar devices [01:08] Would anyone know why I'm getting 'error: unknown option: --vrdpport' when I do 'VBoxManage modifyvm "winxp" --vrdpport 5010' ?

SMART says it is ok... dunno what else to do [01:09] jscn_: because there's no such option most likely [01:09] can't seem to find anything much on google [01:09] :) [01:09] jscn_: try -vrdpport, not "-- [01:09] KM0201: then how do I get the ratings from the VM to a native player like Banshee?

There's a PPA somewhere [01:09] jrib, :p [01:09] theLE: i dunno [01:10] jscn_: maybe it depends on place where you put it [01:10] the VirtualBox docs tell me to use that command, and I haven't managed to find any hints on google [01:10] jscn_: try before machine name [01:10] can some one tell me what partition i should increase to increase the room for ubuntu on my laptop please? it says there is 'sda1' (win7), 'sda2' ntfs 104.9 mb, and 'sda3' ntfs 11.1 gb [01:11] jscn_: here are my guesses: 1) that option is deprecated 2) that option is too new for the version in ubuntu 3) that option is not in the version in ubuntu (need the special version with usb and stuff) [01:11] jscn_: you should probably ask #vbox :) [01:11] Dakrav: i think you had to make the partitions before installing any OS... at this point you need something to partition from Windows... to avoid breaking the way Windows recognizes the partitions [01:11] danst_, it complains it can't find the machine '--vrdrpport' :p [01:11] hurr [01:12] jrib, kk, thx anyways [01:12] jscn_: here you go: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=24606 (seems it was my guess (3)) [01:12] try paragon partition manager or mmm i forgot the name of the one i suse, Dakrav give me a sec [01:12] cablop, i already decreased the win 7 partition size from the ubuntu installer, is that a bad thing? [01:13] Dakrav: as long as the ubuntuinstaller didn't changed the partition number this is not an issue [01:13] jrib, ah, well, looks like I better install the non-free version :( [01:13] but your Windows will chkdsk the disk before using that Windows normally [01:13] jrib, thanks muchly [01:14] cablop, what does that mean? [01:14] Dakrav: try EASEUS Partition Manager and move some partitions up [01:14] Dakrav: some services and the booting itself depend on the partition number, if they expect for Windows to be on the second partition it won't boot if it is now in the third partition === BrokenXhalo is now known as Azoriath [01:15] Dakrav: partitions are not stored in the partition table in the way they are in the disk, the first could be allocated at the end the second at the beginning and the third in the space in between [01:15] cablop, it's the same number, just different size, i just want to increase ubuntu's now, but i'm not sure which one to do [01:17] trying to mount an external network drive but i keep getting an error messaage... [01:17] jc0694: which protocol are you using [01:17] Dakrav: my suggestion would be: 1st partition, /boot; 2nd, the Win 7 boot; 3rd partition, Windows 7, 4th, an extended partition... then place inside the extended partition new partitions... that ntfs you said, and one or more for linux [01:18] i use Thunderbird and One of my gmail came out as white space...I checked that email on Outlook and i could read that email on MS comp. why is so?? [01:18] Also, one attachement came as broken .pdf file [01:19] Dakrav: you have a problem there, and it is you only have room left for one partition, and you need at least 2 if not willing to face some problems... dunno if your board or bios is able to reach the latest partition... and because if you use only one the boot will be on it... [01:19] here's the input: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=XXXXX //geoscdom.geosc.uh.edu/jepps /mnt/jepps/ === wallace_ is now known as talntid [01:19] and the error i get says: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //geoscdom.geosc.uh.edu/jepps [01:19] Dakrav: some boards and bios cannot boot a system if it is placed beyond some disk sector, cylinder or sixze [01:19] *size [01:19] cablop, i have 3 partitions, one for win7 and two others [01:20] can anybody help?

[01:20] jc0694: sudo apt-get install smbfs [01:20] jc0694: mistyped [01:20] Dakrav: yes, Windows 7 creates a small partition of about 100 MB to hold thngs it needs for booting... and you have an extra one... 10 GB maybe? so that would be the recovery partition of your computer [01:21] I have a winxp hd mounted within ubuntu. How do I run an XP application from the winxp hd like regedit ? [01:21] what does smbfs do? [01:21] danst_: what does smbfs do? [01:21] cablop, okay, i get it now [01:22] jc0694: gives you samba power [01:22] Dakrav: no matter what operative system you use, and what do geeks or the microsoft staff says... i *highly* recommend to use at least three partitions for an Operative System, one for the boot partition, the system partition and the users and data partition, that would really ease your life when doing performance or recovery [01:22] will do [01:24] cablop, okay, i can make new partitions in the ubuntu install thing, could i just make the 3 with that? [01:24] Dakrav: (well, Win XP or Vista does not use a boot partition, so just two for them, but still 3 parts for Win7) [01:25] danst_: awww.... yaaaaa... SAMBA Power did it! [01:25] danst_: muchas gracias === BrokenXhalo is now known as Azoriath [01:25] jc0694: good job! [01:25] it works now... [01:25] should that be automatically mounted or will i have to reboot? [01:25] Dakrav: yes you can, but... you'll face a problem... by design the partition table has only room for up to 4 partitions in a disk [01:25] cablop, can i user the ubuntu installer to make the boot, user, and data partitions for ubuntu? [01:25] cablop, oh [01:26] danst_: do i have to reboot in order for the drive to mount [01:26] jc0694: after reboot it won't be mounted [01:26] cablop, so should i use one of the ones you specified? [01:26] Dakrav: with a trick, you convert one partition into an extended partition, that has it's own virtual partition table allowing you to extend the number of partitions, but... you cannot make a partition inside an extended partition booteable [01:26] danst_: how do i automount that at bootup? [01:27] Dakrav: just cause some boards or bios cannot read the extended partition info, that's why [01:27] cablop: thankfully, only windows cares about the bootable flag [01:27] Guys, how would I install the OpenAL sound modules? [01:27] hi, is it possible to read the heap size using C language? [01:27] but... you need to find a way to make the grub of the ubuntu booteble from the bios [01:27] maco [01:27] jc0694: well, usulally people edit their /etc/fstab files for such purposes, but I add everything into /etc/rc.local [01:28] cablop: if grub's on the mbr it shouldn't care about the rest [01:28] cablop, is there any way you could walk me through this? i'm a noob and barely know what your saying. but i don't know how to do [01:28] jc0694: add the command with full path to mount binary to /etc/rc.local before exit 0 line [01:29] jc0694: or google for /etc/fstab syntax for samba stuff [01:29] mmmm well... maco... this is the part... i barely rely on the mbr of a windows 7 machine, hehe [01:29] jc0694: editing fstab is more like PRO-way then I usually do [01:29] ok, Dakrav, you have the scenario of the mandatory win7 boot partition, the windows 7 partition and an extra partition... can you say what's in that third partition? === kiko is now known as kikay [01:30] Him: try doing "apt-cache search openal sound" [01:30] cablop, no idea what you said [01:30] i dislike your system is saying the Windows 7 partition is sda1 and the boot one sda2... are you on a live cd? [01:30] sorry [01:30] ok... [01:30] Him: I hope there would be something useful [01:30] Dakrav: are you installing from a live cd or the alternate install or usb? [01:31] hello ppl ? [01:31] i have a dell xps one i wanted to know if their is anyway i can get the n screen buttons to work ? [01:31] i'm installing ubuntu, i burned an ios image to a cd, is that a live cd? [01:31] danst_: actually, when i entered the command at the promt it didnt give an error but i don't see the drive mounted? [01:31] how do i get awstats viewable in a browser? [01:32] jc0694: type "mount" without any options [01:32] do i need a different kernel to take advangae of a core duo processor? [01:32] jc0694: and check if it's there [01:32] danst_: shouldnt' that drive show up as an icon on my desktop? [01:32] Dakrav: if it leads you to a full ubuntu with the install icon on the desktop, yup, a live cd [01:32] nucc1: go to http://yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/awstats.pl [01:32] danst_: Thanks, but I've already done that. From what I see when I search for openal, I don't know what it is that I need to install. We have a few libs, a few java libs, a few docs, and a programming environment for 3d games. [01:32] jc0694: it shouldn't %) [01:32] LaurenK: no [01:32] cablop, then yeah, it's a live cd [01:32] ok, what are you installing ubuntu for? [01:32] the i386 is as fast as it's going to go? [01:32] maco, like thanks. how did you get that info? [01:33] danst_: ya it shows up... but i don't see it on my desktop like things usually mount [01:33] nucc1: i use awstats on my server [01:33] maco, like where is the config located? so i can change the location :) [01:33] cablop, i'm going to use ubuntu almost every time i start my laptop [01:33] jc0694: oh well, show me the command you fed into computor [01:33] ok, so Wubi is not an option... [01:33] here's the input: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=XXXXX //geoscdom.geosc.uh.edu/jepps /mnt/jepps/ [01:34] ah, sigh... you need one more partition!!!! you are in a laptop, so it is better for you to have a swap partition... [01:34] is there a way to get the on screen buttons to work on a dell xps one ? [01:34] maco, now i have permission issues, it can't access the log in /var/log/apache2 [01:34] okay [01:34] danst_: sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=XXXXX //geoscdom.geosc.uh.edu/jepps /mnt/jepps/ [01:34] jc0694: you can add at the end of this command " && ln -s /mnt/jepps/ /home/jepps/Desktop/sambapowah" [01:35] I've already found some bugs in the software, do i report them anywhere? [01:35] Dakrav: according to maco you can install it on an extended pertition... i never placed all in the extended partition, so i cannot say it would work as expected [01:35] msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER SicNarf vhrvlamsnpjg [01:35] jc0694: oh wait, bad idea [01:35] nucc1: oh if you're using apache2, make sure you change in /etc/awstats/awstats.conf the LogFormat= line to be LogFormat=1 [01:35] jc0694: that was stupid, sorry lol [01:35] cablop, i clicked to create partition, and it says 'Use as:' and one option is 'swap area' should i do that? [01:35] ok, Dakrav go to the System Menu, then Administration, then Gparted o Partition Editor, if it is not there then the Disk tility on that menu [01:36] cablop: i recall someone installing 63 distros on one machine using only 4 or 5 hard disks because they had a bajillion extended partitions. [01:36] LaurenK: ubuntu-bug packagename [01:36] maco, i remembered that in a blog... they had a real partition for the /boot one [01:36] sidewalk: time to change passwords? [01:36] danst_: ?!?!? are u trying to help me or tease me? [01:36] cablop, i got gparted [01:37] jc0694: actually I have no idea how to put a link to it on your desktop [01:37] jc0694: make a icon there with "nautilus /mnt/jepps" command [01:37] ok, Dakrav it will show you the partitions of your hard disk, also their labels and what formats do they have [01:37] maco, that's done, but do you have any suggestion as to what to do aabout the permission issue? [01:37] cablop: mmmmk... i dont play much with using separate /boot partitions, i'm just sure that the bootable flag doesnt matter if grub's on the mbr (because ive seen someone demo this -- no bootable partition = windows wont boot, linux will) [01:37] nucc1: looking [01:38] cablop, yeah, what should i do now? [01:38] well, Dakrav then tell me what the partitions are [01:38] nucc1: my /var/log/apache2/access.log is permissions 640 root:adm [01:38] <__Steven__> hi there. stupid noobquestion: when accessing through ssh i shouldn't use the user root right? how can i add a different user which is bound to a specific domain. i have plesk 9.5 if that helps [01:39] maco, adm is a group you created yourself? [01:39] nucc1: no [01:39] maco: mmm... well, i just never did it... but i don't have a real reason to think it wouldn't work [01:39] __Steven__, You are correct that you should not log in as root. What do you mean a user that is 'bound to a domain' ? [01:39] maco, hmmm, mine is the same permissions too. [01:40] hello [01:40] how long does it generally take gparted to resize a partition (I assume it depends on size, amount of files, and how they are placed on the hdd?" [01:40] I have a question I just started Linux and I use to use mIRC how can I use Linux to make a custom script? [01:40] unallocated - unallocated - 1 MiB; /dev/sda1 - ext4 - 46.57 GiB; unallocated - unallocated - 408.79 GiB; /dev/sda2 - ntfs - 100 MiB; /dev/sda3 - ntfs - 10.31 GiB [01:40] r3in, On the order of 10 minutes [01:40] <__Steven__> edbian like in the folder vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs. isn't that the normal usage of creating a user? [01:40] cablop, unallocated - unallocated - 1 MiB; /dev/sda1 - ext4 - 46.57 GiB; unallocated - unallocated - 408.79 GiB; /dev/sda2 - ntfs - 100 MiB; /dev/sda3 - ntfs - 10.31 GiB [01:41] r3in, Sometimes it gets as high as 100 - 150 minutes [01:41] r3in: you got all the variables [01:41] how big were your disks ebian? [01:41] <__Steven__> edbian or what is the common use of creating a differnt user? is there any guide online or can you help me with this? [01:41] its been running here for about... 3=4 [01:41] __Steven__, That is absolutely not the normal way to make a user. New users are made user the adduser command [01:42] r3in, I have a 40 Gb and an 80Gb. 3, 4 minutes? What are you trying to do again? [01:42] hello [01:42] __Steven__, I'll look one up, hang on [01:42] <__Steven__> edbian thank you very very much. i'm pretty new to shell [01:42] __Steven__, There is a gui and cli method. This link shows both: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto [01:42] maco, i'll just change the file to world-readable [01:42] Dakrav: mmm wait a second, it does not make sense... [01:42] __Steven__, no problem! How do you normally log into this server? It is an Ubuntu server right? [01:43] 3-4 hours, but is 1tb, and has to make a 1-200gb partiton, with approx 700gb of data [01:43] Dakrav: except if the 10 GB partition is Win7... but i barely believe Win7 will sit on that small disk [01:43] <__Steven__> edbian i normally log in through either plesk or shell via root or via ftp [01:43] hi all. [01:43] __Steven__, Is this an Ubuntu server? [01:44] sda1 is win7, but i made that 50 gb instead of taking up all of my hard drive [01:44] __Steven__, You should not be sshing as the root user [01:44] cablop, sda1 is win7, but i made that 50 gb instead of taking up all of my hard drive [01:44] <__Steven__> edbian i just have a problem that the user has to be a specific user in order to install drupal properly. yes it's ubuntu [01:44] __Steven__, what is plesk? [01:44] <__Steven__> parallels plesk panel [01:44] __Steven__, You can be any user and you'll be able to install things using sudo [01:44] my home folder " file not found" [01:45] __Steven__, on an Ubuntu machine you don't ever log in as root. [01:45] !root | __Steven__ [01:45] __Steven__: 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 [01:45] Dakrav... erm... well... that is an ext4 partition... that seems to be that you didn't resized the partition but deleted it instead... [01:45] __Steven__, Did you set up this server? [01:45] Dakrav: sda1 can't be Win7, because according to your output, sda1 is ext4 [01:45] <__Steven__> there is an autoinstall to it [01:45] oh [01:45] __Steven__, perhaps, I guarantee root can do it. (or some user using sudo) [01:45] plesk - used for hosting environments - automates and simplifies hosting tasks and provides a front end for end users to create accounts and manage there stuff on the server [01:46] Which (free) hosting control panel works the best with Apache2 (and maybe nGinx!?) on Ubuntu 10.10 (VPS)? [01:46] Dakrav: if you had important data there then you need to stop now and recover it [01:47] if not,, then you can go ahead, and deal with installing Windows 7 again [01:47] Luvz2drv, Thanks [01:47] i have nothing on my laptop, i just installed win7 about 20 minutes ago, and now i'm trying to install ubuntu [01:47] should i reinstall win7 [01:47] ok, then that Windows 7 is not there anymore [01:47] ok, then,. before anything plan how are you going to use the partitions [01:47] what is on the 10 GB partition? [01:48] Dakrav: what is on the 10 GB partition? [01:48] <__Steven__> funny. says the user already exists [01:48] my home folder is saying " file not found" when I click on it. Can someone help me get it back? [01:48] __Steven__, what user? [01:48] <__Steven__> the one i wanted to create [01:48] how to remove application on ubuntu 101.10 [01:48] windyone, I can! :) can you pastebin the output of df -h and sudo fdisk -l ? [01:48] windyone: in gnome? maybe it is a permissions issue [01:48] skyfire: sudo apt-get remove packagename [01:48] skyfire, sudo apt-get remove [01:49] __Steven__, i know that, what was the name of it?? [01:49] how do I tell what my dns address is? cant tell with ifconfig? [01:49] <__Steven__> moya [01:49] danst_, You beat me to it! [01:49] skyfire you can also use the Software Manager on the Applications menu === bonhoffer_ is now known as bonhoffer [01:49] windyone, try logout, login [01:49] __Steven__, Well, it must be one you created! (perhaps at install time?) [01:49] skyfire: "Ubuntu Software Center" [01:49] Dakrav: are you therE? [01:49] cablop, i have no idea what is on anything, i just installed win7 turned off, boot to the ubuntu live cd and said, try, then i guess i deleted win7, and now i'm here. i'm going to use ubuntu for everything. [01:49] windyone, I'm assuming you tried rebooting and logging out / in [01:49] <__Steven__> edbian could be. yes. but i don't know the pw for that one ^^ [01:50] Should Ubuntu recognize a LinkSys WUSB100 Wireless Network Adapter out-of-the-box? [01:50] is there a way to disable the "close" button on certain applications? [01:50] __Steven__, well if you know the root password you can change other user's passwords. (Again I have no idea how / why you have a root password) [01:50] yes I have logged out and in.. I have auto log in. [01:50] maco, what does a "visit" mean? pardon me :) [01:50] kyrix, You could edit the source code! [01:50] ok Dakrav open a nautilus, yopu should see the partition there, mount it and see if it has a recovery folder or something [01:50] windyone, can I get that stuff in pastebin ? [01:50] _Steven_ are you a user on the machine or the server admin? [01:50] <__Steven__> edbian cuz it's my server. why shouldn't there be one? [01:50] or just check in the gparted if the partition is named recovery [01:50] Luvz2drv, He's logging in as root [01:50] Dakrav: or sth like that [01:51] nucc1: someone coming to your site. each site visit may involve one or more page views [01:51] !root | __Steven__, [01:51] __Steven__,: 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 [01:51] edbian, thanks, was looking maybe for some hidden config ;) [01:51] cablop, where do i find nautilus? [01:51] __Steven__, by default Ubuntu users sudo, not a root account. [01:51] Hi, Where can I move self-installed file such as android-sdk.tar.gz or google-appengine.tar.gz? /usr/lib? /usr/share? or /usr/bin? [01:51] maco, ok, so it's just a unique IP address? [01:51] kyrix, None exists :) [01:51] Dakrav: this is the file explorer on ubuntu [01:51] nucc1: yep, though i suppose with a timeout since return visitors are also measured [01:51] Dakrav: just open the computer or desktop or home place in the places menu [01:52] bigeye, First look in those packages for uninstall scripts. If they have them that's the easiest way [01:52] http://pastebin.com/F1B2JFif [01:52] cablop, k, what do i do now? [01:52] brazil? [01:52] _Steven_ Who installed the machine yourself or a datacenter [01:52] how channel? [01:52] maco, thanks. [01:52] windyone, got it, reading, please start your posts with my name to catch my attention === marcelo is now known as Guest49157 [01:52] edbian ok [01:52] <__Steven__> edbian problem is: i already have everything running on my website. what if i change the pw now and everythings f... up? [01:52] windyone, I have df -h from you. I need sudo fdisk -l :) [01:52] <__Steven__> i installed through webinterface from my provider [01:53] windyone, and since you need to make another pastebin anyway please put the output of dmesg in it too :) [01:53] Dakrav: well, tell me what's inside it... or if you don't care and are unwilling to use the recovery of the laptop (cause is another windows or the previous vista before you upgrade, then you can delete that partition... [01:53] __Steven__, Change the password of what? Of moya the user? I doubt it will affect anything [01:53] __Steven__, in fact, I would be amazed since you've never logged in as that user [01:53] <__Steven__> hmmm ok [01:53] edbian http://pastebin.com/7Kg1PX6Q [01:54] __Steven__, btw, the best way to learn linux / ubuntu is to tinker and mess with stuff. Don't be afraid of breaking it. Besides deleting files everything can be fixed [01:54] windyone, reading... [01:54] edbian the message is simply file not found [01:54] Dakrav: so the cleanest way is to start with an empty disk, then plan your partitions... do you plan to install more systems than ubuntu and windows in the future? [01:55] windyone, mmm, this is odd. I expected you'd have a separate /home partition but I don't see that here. Can you see your home in a terminal? [01:55] cablop, there was no previous vista, it came with win 7 and i put ubuntu on it not wanting win7 to be on it, but i have to put win7 on it acording to my mom, [01:55] cablop, just ubuntu and win7 [01:55] edbian, seems like there is way, using devilspie :) [01:55] how would I?? [01:55] Dakrav: haha, ok, then you face a user req there :P [01:55] edbian woops how would I see the home [01:55] code is old.... though lets see how it goes [01:55] edbian, thanks. so if there doesn't exist, Should I make own uninstall script and copy to /usr/lib directory? [01:55] kyrix, That won't change if applications have close buttons would it? [01:55] Dakrav: so, your mother would be the windows user and you the linux one... [01:55] windyone, open the terminal, type ls [01:56] I'm having problems in updating my ubuntu, this message appears when going to calculate the space for installation [01:56] E: Error, pkgProblemResolver:: Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages (hold). update [01:56] edbian, can change decorations [01:56] windyone, the terminal by default is in the home folder. ls lists everything in the current folder [01:56] edbian, i don't think windyone has a separate home partition. it would have shown in 'df -h' [01:56] cablop, yes, but she only needs about 10 gb [01:56] kyrix, It's referring to the closer, minimum, and maximize title bar thingy [01:56] edbian yes there is stuff in different colors [01:56] Dakrav: ok, something so special that you will need the Windows for? [01:56] nucc1, yeah, he does not. [01:56] Dakrav: something not replaceable? [01:56] cablop, sure [01:56] windyone, Are those your files / folders? [01:56] sounds interesting [01:57] How can I connect to a wireless network from ubuntu -server CLI? This is a fresh install and has no desktop. [01:57] edbian folders I think [01:57] nucc1, It also does not show up in sudo fdisk -l === Guest49157 is now known as ineedhelp === ineedhelp is now known as ineedhelp_ [01:57] windyone, Are they YOUR'S? Your home folder? [01:57] Dakrav: ok, Win 7 would eat 50 GB if you will use it for usage and minimal file storage... 100 GB if she is going to save her music and other stuff [01:58] edbian, windyone a shot in the dark here, try re-installing 'ubuntu-desktop' [01:58] cablop, just 50 [01:58] windyone, are you on ubuntu 10.04? [01:58] nucc1, Umm, how is that going to help? [01:58] Dakrav: remember this thing, if this is a mechanical disk, not a SSD, the farer from the beginning of the disk the slower the disk is [01:58] yo [01:58] edbian strangely it says windyone@windyone-Satelite which is my computer [01:58] edbian, it's probably a problem with gnome [01:59] windyone, how is that strange? [01:59] nucc1, alright I'm game [01:59] I'm having problems in updating my ubuntu, this message appears when going to calculate the space for installation [01:59] E: Error, pkgProblemResolver:: Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages (hold). update [01:59] isnt ofris availavle in repo? (i m in 10.04) [01:59] its for deep freeze [01:59] Dakrav: but the farer from the beginning the hardest to boot it on some bios, [01:59] windyone, It actually says windyone@windyone-Satellite-A205:~$ ;) [01:59] cablop, not sure what tha means lol, sorry [01:59] you need, one linux partition, one swap partition, one windows partition, and an extended partition for extra stuff [02:00] cablop, fyi windows likes to be the first partition [02:00] cablop, okay [02:00] what do i do? [02:00] edbian, windyone we should try adjusting the ownership of your home folder. [02:00] nucc1, he was able to ls in it [02:01] edbian, it could be just a specific file needed by nautilus [02:01] nucc1, also, he didn't get a permissions error [02:01] ok Dakrav long story short, because some limit you cannot put a booteable partition beyond some cylinder or block or wathever on the disk, it simply becomes unreacheable for the bios, linux can survive to it, but windows cannot [02:01] edbian, i had such wierdness when i was on lucid, running a chown on my homefolder used to fix it. [02:01] cablop, okay, makes sense [02:01] windyone, Can I see a screenshot with the error message on it? I wanna see what causes the error and where the error shows up [02:01] Dakrav: the swap partition is going to be the virtual memory equivalent, so don't put it at the end of the disk... [02:01] nucc1, alright :) [02:02] hello [02:02] Dakrav: it would be slower [02:02] is there an ofris like deep freeze software in the repos on 10.04 [02:02] edbian, but you're right, let's see a screenshot [02:02] okay, should i delete all other partitions before i start doing this? [02:02] cablop, okay, should i delete all other partitions before i start doing this? [02:02] yes, Dakrav, delete them, and make you sure no one is left [02:03] Dakrav: one partition left and you cannot guarantee if the partitions would be ok [02:03] cablop, is it okay to do it from gparted? [02:03] my rhythmbox displays those errors on the terminal if I try to load some plugins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/557482/ I use ubuntu 10.10 [02:03] windyone, nucc1 and I are on board. Are you still here? [02:03] yes, it is ok [02:03] Dakrav: but delettte all before [02:03] k, i'll do that now [02:03] windyone, press 'prt scr' when the error is visible, then uploade it to imagebin [02:03] yes [02:03] cablop, delete each and every one right? [02:03] THE error is simply File not found when I click on home folder [02:03] Dakrav: if you can use the windows in a virtual machine that would be nice for you :P [02:04] would one say it would be good to keep my /usr directory fairly large? [02:04] cablop, i don't know what that is, i'm using a desktop for this chat, and have my laptop on my lap [02:04] Is there really any major advantage to me installying Windows XP over Windows 2000? [02:04] windyone, if you right-click the folder and view properties, what does it say? [02:04] Dakrav: yes, don't leave one left, if you have the Windows 7 installer of your computer on a disk you won't gface a problem [02:04] Can someone tell me how to connect and scan for a wireless network from Terminal? I'm using a fresh install of ubuntu-server [02:04] Hi, where can I get a power managment program to manage my laptop power? I want it to go into standby automaticly when the power is disconected [02:04] is there a unix channel in free node [02:05] ok, Dakrav just wait a second... did you installed the Win7 froma CD right? [02:05] cablop, i have win7 on a cd [02:05] nuccl It says File not found [02:05] special_k, ##linux [02:05] hi, i am looking for suggestions, I am looking for a way to have a gui interface for iptables on my headless ubuntu server, something thats not real hard to use im just learning about the networking in linux [02:05] ty [02:05] any deep freeze software for ubuntu? [02:05] windyone, screenshot please. Do you know how to do that [02:05] cablop, yes, i have the cd right here [02:05] I've just downloaded Ubuntu, and I can't seem to find Minesweeper. [02:05] ? [02:05] doing it now [02:05] jgcampbell300, firestarter [02:05] Does anybody know where I can find it? [02:05] edbian; can i use firestarter over ssh ? [02:05] i need help with upgrade the 10.04 to 10.10 [02:05] windyone, ok, let's just try this. in the terminal, run 'sudo chown windyone.windyone -R ./' [02:05] Dakrav: ok, perfect, then you don't need the recovery installer... anyway... we can trust on it after changig the partitions as it would expect them to be [02:05] jgcampbell300, is you use the -x flag when you start ssh [02:06] my ubuntu 10.10 (minimal) installation always freezes, unitl i press any key, then it goes on... same thing on virtual machen on my computer. but then, suddenly, install goes smoothly on VM. any ideas what could be the cause? [02:06] windyone, in your home folder. it will take a while to run though [02:06] Dakrav: so go ahead and delete the partitions [02:06] ineedhelp_: You can't upgrade to 10.10 anymore from 10.04, you will need to downgrade to 10.02 first. [02:06] jgcampbell300, put firestarter is a graphical app so it's probably going to want to install ubuntu-desktop or something [02:06] Dakrav: i'll think for a second a nice layout... [02:06] i installed a 10.10 x64 box and the mouse driver knows nothing of its touchpad-ness [02:06] there are lots of two-finger activites i'd like to be engaging in if only i had the touch [02:06] cablop, k, all done [02:06] ericP is the x64 box cardboard or plastic? [02:06] Pomeroy, Please stop trolling. [02:06] Pomeroy, how do this? [02:06] edbian; hmm is there a way to keep from installing desktop i really dont want the wasted resources [02:06] i just formatted an internet hdd as ext4 how can i get write permission to the drive? [02:07] jgcampbell300, I'm sure there is but I don't know how :( [02:07] Pomeroy, you know that cardboard lined with plastic characteristic of to-go cups? [02:07] paq7512, sudo chown -R /path/to/drive [02:07] edbian: ok thank you [02:07] pomeroy, open the software centre or synaptic and search for gnomine or kmines [02:07] SORRY for the disconnect.. You wanted me to do something in the terminal [02:07] jgcampbell300, sorry I can't help more! [02:07] anybody know if changing a kernel might impove wirelss issues? [02:07] windyone, we want a screenshot of the error. Do you know how to do that? [02:07] lilith, It sometimes does :) [02:08] paq7512, best is to create a folder on it, then give yourself r/w permissions in that folder [02:08] not really, i was learning when i got disconnected [02:08] edbian: Iĺl try that thanks [02:08] jgcampbell300, has the OS to be ubuntu? [02:08] Dakrav: how much ram does your laptop have? are you planning to increase it? [02:08] windyone, Applications -> Accessories -> Screenshot. Just mess with it a bit you'll figure it out. [02:08] lilith, yep [02:08] edbian I have scrshot now what do I do with it? [02:08] i need help with upgrade the 10.04 to 10.10? [02:09] cablop, it has a 500 gb hard drive i believe, and i don't plan on increasing it [02:09] copy to clipboard or save?? [02:09] windyone, go to www.imagebin.org [02:09] windyone, save [02:09] Dakrav: i mean ram [02:09] windyone, put it here: http://imageshack.us/ [02:09] windyone, It's pastebin for images [02:09] windyone, save it so you can upload it to a site [02:09] windyone: or use imgur [02:10] cablop, this is not the time for options [02:10] cablop, i think it has 4, 4-6 i think [02:10] benkinooby: i am running ubuntu 10.10 server [02:10] ok 4 gb... [02:10] where does it save to???? [02:10] all my stuff is file not found' [02:10] windyone, the folder you chose [02:10] windyone, you can just take a new one and make sure to choose desktop [02:10] windyone, put it on the desktop, does that work? [02:10] places pictures file not found [02:11] windyone, yeah yeah, put in on the desktop [02:11] ill try again [02:11] ok... its on desktop [02:11] god speed windyone [02:12] windyone, go to imageshack.us and upload it [02:12] jgcampbell300, i often saw, from other (firewall-)distros, that they were configured thourgh a webinterface. i'm sure you'll find something similar for ubuntu... i you like the idea [02:12] edbian http://img171.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img171/2790/screenshotdut.png [02:13] windyone, good job [02:13] Dakrav: ok bios has a 1024 cylinder booteable boundary and can affect some linux distros also [02:13] sorry it took so lond [02:13] windyone, what caused the error to show up? [02:13] long [02:13] windyone, no worries [02:13] cablop, k [02:13] <__Steven__> edbian i did it. thank you for your help. really appreciate it [02:13] windyone, sudo aptitude reinstall nautilus [02:13] __Steven__, no problem! :) [02:13] my rhythmbox displays those errors on the terminal if I try to load some plugins(they won't load): http://paste.ubuntu.com/557482/ I use ubuntu 10.10. [02:13] __Steven__, Glad I could help [02:14] can someone explain what is meant by a "logical" partition? [02:14] edbian, he probably doesn't have aptitude installed [02:14] Delphious, google it [02:14] Dakrav: so, to be sure well place a small boot partition at the beginning... 100 MB or 255 MB would be enough [02:14] us [02:14] benkinooby: ty [02:14] nucc1, It's installed by default [02:14] <__Steven__> edbian btw: http://www.formitopia.com/ [02:14] cablop, k [02:14] __Steven__, a plug??! [02:14] Dakrav: well 50 MB, but hard to tweak if you want to play around [02:14] __Steven__, j/k neat. I'll check it out. [02:14] <__Steven__> edbian what i wanted to create the user for. ^^^ [02:15] Dakrav: i'll recommend 255 MB [02:15] edbian sudo aptitude: command not found [02:15] nucc1, you're right :) [02:15] windyone, sudo apt-get install nautilus [02:15] According to my gnome system monitor, 96% of my 6gb of memory is in use by programs, but when I click processes, I can only add up about 1gb worth of memory in use. How do I find out what's using the rest? [02:15] edbian, :) [02:15] nucc1, I don't think that reinstalls it [02:15] sudo apt-get install nautilus [02:15] windyone, sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus [02:15] cablop, k [02:15] ok ill try it [02:15] Dakrav: 2nd partition, Win 7 50 GB, format as ntfs [02:15] windyone, sudo apt-get install aptitude [02:15] i need help with upgrade the 10.04 to 10.10? [02:16] Travis-42: that's complicated. Could be caches, for example. Check "free". [02:16] nucc1, That won't re-install it [02:16] edbian, yea, that was better :p [02:16] cablop, wait, should i be making these already? [02:16] windyone, stop typing command [02:16] edbian doing it.. it is installing [02:16] windyone, what command did you run? [02:16] Travis-42: cmp http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html for starters [02:16] Muelli, no it's not the caches [02:16] YES!!!! [02:17] 全是英文，晕 [02:17] Muelli, 4% in use as cache... and free seems to confirm this [02:17] xuanbin, !cn [02:17] edbian sudo apt-get install aptitude [02:17] Dakrav: 3rd partition, swap 1.5~2.5 times your RAM size, if you plan to increase it's RAM then use the desired RAM amount, not the current [02:17] eh, sorry [02:17] !cn [02:17] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [02:17] y [02:17] windyone, did it fix the problem? [02:17] edbian it is installed [02:17] windyone, now you can run sudo aptitude reinstall nautilus [02:17] edbian no it didnt [02:17] Dakrav: that is, for example, in my netbook it came with 1 GB but i plan to increase to 2 GB, then i use a 5GB swap [02:17] cablop, okay, should i start making these partitions? [02:18] windyone, sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus [02:18] Muelli, I don't think it's inaccurate, for example I have 3gb allocated to a virtual machine, but what I'm wondering if how to get a program to display everything that is using it [02:18] cablop, gotya [02:18] windyone, that will re-install it. I think just install alone might have just saw that it was already installed and done nothing [02:18] Travis-42: can be that the processes use much memory, but when it comes to the physical RAM usage, it's not so much because many pages are shared. [02:18] Dakrav: swap aize will be important you need it to be able to hibernate [02:18] Hello... Can i play Windows Games on my Ubuntu?? [02:18] edbian ok.. I am --re [02:18] wine, or a windows virtual machine [02:18] x0x: sometimes [02:18] cablop, i never use hibernate [02:18] windyone, lemme know how it goes [02:19] Delphious: Wine Sucks... maybe you can open soft program's like mirc and couple more.. but you cant play games. [02:19] nucc1, what command did you used to run? Did you have this problem exactly? [02:19] edbian done and still cannot find files no change [02:19] edbian, nah, mine was different. login used to fail due to permission issues. [02:19] how do i restore alsa to the ubuntu default state? i was trying to update some kernel snd modules and broke it [02:19] windyone, sudo killall nautilus [02:19] x0x: well, yu can't play "all" games would be more accurate [02:20] Travis-42: I have a similar problem did you try top? even top seems to not show me were much of my mem has gone [02:20] Dakrav: then 4rth partition, you can set it for whole linux or use an extended with many smaller inside... one recommendation is to set one for root / and other for /home, ubuntu will work well with 25 GB for root partition ( / ) [02:20] i've ran guild wars and wow in wine without a problem [02:20] edbian ok [02:20] windyone, Can you look at other folders besides /home ? [02:20] Muelli, and I know the system keeps hitting swap pretty heavily because the memory is used up [02:20] edbian, he should kill and re-run nautilus [02:20] nucc1, agreed [02:21] sacarlson, top and htop are similarly unhelpful. according to top, less than 10% of mem is used up by programs [02:21] im curentlly with dual boot. my primary HD have Winxp and the secondary have Ubuntu, ive gived 20gb with gparted on my ubuntu, is there any way to "Transfer my ubuntu" on my primary Hard disk after i format and give all space to my ubuntu without loose my data etc? [02:21] freeciv keeps crashing everytime i try to build my base [02:21] so windyone run 'sudo killall nautilus' [02:21] i hope my pharsing helo you english its not my main lang. [02:21] edbian I cannot see anything in places.. I can use files [02:21] help* [02:21] Dakrav: it is a laptop... you'll need hibernation... not all the time you have energy supply or you cannot just lose work in the event of changing the battery [02:21] windyone, just to be sure, have you logged out and back in since the problem started? [02:21] edbian I did sudo killall nautilus [02:21] go to www.winehq.org/ and see if the game you want to play is listed [02:22] Travis-42: sounds like what I see also and I run out of mem to us virtualbox unless I reboot and it goes back to about 900meg in use for a few hours or days [02:22] windyone, you can run nautilus again by just typing nautilus [02:22] nucci yes I did.. I have auto loggin all I do is restart [02:22] windyone, and now nautilus [02:22] cablop, okay [02:22] windyone, yes, restart nautilus [02:22] what freeciv? [02:22] Dakrav: create the partitions in the ordr they should look in the disk... old-school but will save you of headaches [02:22] it justs shuts off everytime i press b [02:23] I'm installing ubuntu 10.10 server from a USB flash drive onto a new computer, but get an error partway through install with "Failed to copy file from CD-ROM. Retry?" Any suggestions? [02:23] windyone, what's the status? [02:23] edbian a window opened up root with the desktop folder in it.. i closed it and tried to open the places home and got the same result file not found [02:23] windyone, open any folder and navigate to /home [02:24] that is they'll sould look like sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4... sda2 sda2, sda3 or sda1, sda2, sda4 would lead to trouble... some windows tools, like an antivirus will "fix" a messy partition table, but you'll face a headache in linux if that hapens [02:24] edbian (nautilus:3149): WARNING **: Failed to get the current CK session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '3149' [02:24] that is they'll sould look like sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4... sda2 sda2, sda3 or sda1, sda2, sda4 would lead to trouble... some windows tools, like an antivirus will "fix" a messy partition table, but you'll face a headache in linux if that hapens, Dakrav [02:24] windyone, edbian this is a permission issue.

[02:24] there is more [02:24] windyone, where did you get this error? [02:24] windyone, wanna paste it? [02:24] Dakrav: next, install Win 7 first, don't delete or change partitions, don tlet it create anything else [02:25] nucc1, yes paste it [02:25] edbian ok hold on [02:25] you can also go to www.cedega.com/ and see if your game is listed but cedega takes money for the program [02:25] cablop, k [02:25] guys how to install electricsheep on ubuntu10.10 [02:25] http://pastebin.com/HKysj4Dj [02:25] edbian http://pastebin.com/HKysj4Dj [02:26] windyone, reading === cst05001 is now known as cst05001_meeting [02:26] skyfire: sudo apt-get install electricsheep [02:26] windyone, in a terminal: sudo chown -R windyone /home/windyone [02:26] hello everyone software center wont open this the output [02:26] http://pastebin.com/wvMBHYPB [02:26] dakrav, so summary, create all 4 partititions before, all 4, /boot (suggested ext3) 255MiB, Windows NTFS 7 50 GiB, SWAP 2.5x your amount of ram in GiB, / for linux or extended (with at least one / and one /home partition) [02:27] edbian ok [02:27] windyone, try again. Is it fixed? [02:27] Dakrav: then restart and install Windows in the 50 GiB partition, allow it to format it, but not delete or create an additional one... that way we are forcing it to put the booteable stuff into the same partition, and your mother will see just one C:disk [02:28] edbian ok.. this is what i got chown: cannot access `/home/windyone/.gvfs': Permission denied [02:28] windyone@windyone-Satellite-A205:~$ [02:28] Hi all! :-) [02:28] windyone, did you run sudo with it? [02:28] windyone, that will take a while to complete [02:28] windyone, sudo chown -R windyone /home/windyone ? [02:29] nucc1, windyone, We have found the problem [02:29] Dakrav: then back to linux and use the partitions... remember, the first one should have /boot at the mounting point, the system one /... if you use another for the user files then /home is the mounting point [02:29] edbian Yes I ran sudo chown -R windyone /home/windyone === danio- is now known as anemone [02:29] anyone Ubuntu expert to help me? [02:29] edbian, which is what i suggested :p [02:29] windyone, it's still running eh?

[02:30] what did you do? [02:30] what did you do? x0x [02:30] GangBuntu nation [02:30] windyone, you need to logout, then alt+ctrl + f1, login and run the command from there [02:33] windyone, then alt+ctrl+f7 and login. [02:33] Benkinooby: im curentlly with dual boot. my primary HD have Winxp and the secondary have Ubuntu, ive gived 20gb with gparted on my ubuntu, is there any way to "Transfer my ubuntu" on my primary Hard disk after i format and give all space to my ubuntu without loose my data etc? i hope my pharsing not be to bad.. [02:33] windyone, yeah, I know.

[02:33] edbian windyone@windyone-Satellite-A205:~$ sudo ls -l /home/windyone/.gvfs [02:33] ls: cannot access /home/windyone/.gvfs: Permission denied [02:33] windyone@windyone-Satellite-A205:~$ [02:33] edbian, windyone we may find useful info in the xsession errors...

[02:33] nucc1, who the hell owns .gvfs ?? [02:33] any way to broadcast from linux? a internet radio? [02:33] edbian, it's some wierdness in glib i think. [02:33] that root can't read it? [02:33] x0x, and you totally want to erase windows? no data there to save? [02:34] need help changing data directory to another disk for mysql [02:34] edbian, it works fine, it's a combination of gnome-session and consolekit and glib, the error comes from one of them. it's what i experienced [02:34] nucc1, I see [02:34] edbian, if he logs out and runs the command from a VT, it should work. mine worked. [02:35] nucc1, awesome [02:35] edbian, in fact, it was so wierd i though my hard drive was faulty [02:35] Benkinooby: maybe to keep a backup or something so i can restore configurations on the VMware on my ubuntu. [02:35] nuccl I logged out... how do I run the command without being loggin in?? [02:35] windyone, alt+ctrl+f1 [02:35] but to transfer my Ubuntu on the primary driver. [02:35] windyone, shutdown button -> logout, then press ctrl + alt + F1, then login there, then run sudo chown -R windyone /home/windyone [02:35] is that possible? [02:35] windyone, also, run this command [02:35] windyone, I'm not typing that again so don't ask me to. [02:36] windyone, sudo chown windyone.windyone -R /home/windyone === cmdshftn_ is now known as cmdshftn [02:36] let's say, I have a file in .avi and I want to burn it to a dvd in a form in which I can play it on a dvd player hooked to a Tv. -- correction, I have several files and want to burn them all on a disk. (can I have a menu controller too or do I have to fast forward to get to the next one?) [02:36] windyone, i hope your home folder is actually 'windyone' ? [02:36] Dakrav: yup, nowadays some CDs can recover your linux loader... but hard for some special configurations... like having an encrypted disk or LVM partitions... or a raid array.. so you must know about mounting those special filesystems, chrooting and thinks like what sda and hd0 are... hehe [02:36] is anyone using ubuntu 10.10 right this moment [02:36] x0x, to be hosten, i am not 100% sure about your plans/settings: you have 2 hard discs. one is used for windows, one is used for ubunut. now you want to use both harddsiks for ubuntu. is that correct? [02:36] hi crazydiamond, lol [02:37] cablop, lol, i'm no where near knowing those [02:38] any way to broadcast from linux? a internet radio? [02:38] Benkinooby: yes the hdd0 using winxp the second i dont know if is important who is second and who first using ubuntu. now i want erase my winxp and transfer to the primary the ubuntu and give all space to them.. dunno if im making any mistake.. [02:38] edbian I dont get it how can I check something in terminal mode and then get back here [02:38] or i can keep it on the hd i have them now and make it primary or something dunno thats why im asking.. [02:38] windyone, you have to finish running the command before you log back in. [02:39] windyone, unless you have two computers. [02:39] nucci how do I get back in [02:39] alt+ctrl+f7 or f8 or f9 one of those [02:39] windyone, ctrl + alt + F1 to switch into terminal mode. ctrl + alt + F7 to switch back. [02:39] windyone, sorry I forgot that part :) [02:39] edbian thx' [02:39] Our of curiosity, does anything happen with the archive mirrors on Fridays? [02:40] so what was it You want to check in terminal mode?? chmod?? [02:40] windyone, haha, sure [02:40] I had an awful time, with the installer, failing to find packages [02:40] x0x, there is no need to copy ubuntu fomr hdd1 to hdd0. just keep ubuntu the way it is and format hdd0 so that i can be used by ubuntu. there is no practical difference in having the OS at hdd0 or hdd1 [02:40] n-iCe, vlc can do it [02:40] windyone, the command is sudo chmod -R windyone /home/windyone [02:40] !bots [02:40] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [02:40] windyone, It gives you ownership of your home and everything in it [02:40] edbian, you keep leaving out the group part. [02:40] edbian ok hold on [02:40] hello all [02:40] when upgraded my virtual console font changes to Latin when left alt pressed [02:41] x0x, the only thing you might have to consider is the booting progess. but i guess that you use grub to start windows too so everything should be fine [02:41] nucc1, who cares about the group part? [02:41] Benkinooby: thanks.. now second question. i have gived i remember 40gb on my ubuntu with gparted when i was installed them, how i can give them full space on the hd ? [02:41] really idont need that font in virtual console [02:41] edbian, oh well. [02:42] Benkinooby: i have formated twice my hd and reinstalled grub, i dont want grub i dont want second OS i will install vmware. [02:42] how to change virtual console font or remove one permanently? [02:42] nucc1, haha [02:42] edbian invalid mode windyone [02:42] windyone, what? [02:42] windyone, You typed it wrong I think [02:43] debian [02:43] sudo chmod -R windyone:windyone /home/windyone [02:43] not edian [02:43] edbian, it should be chown, not chmod [02:43] nofrillz, You talking to me? [02:43] nucc1, oh thanks [02:43] maybe [02:43] edbian yea,, I didnt see the : Ill try again === bburhans_ is now known as bburhans [02:43] :P [02:43] windyone, stop [02:43] windyone, don't type anything [02:43] windyone, are you there? [02:43] inner spelling nazi coming out [02:43] nofrillz, My name is Ed :) [02:43] edbian,,, hahaha ok yes [02:43] edbian - genius thanks ! [02:43] paq7512, ha, no problem [02:44] my names debian [02:44] windyone, sudo chown -R windyone:windyone /home/windyone [02:44] cablop, i have to go, i'm sorry [02:44] x0x, i understand that. the only thing i wanted to say, that in a very strange case the removal of windows might influence your ubuntu install. formating cna not be undone, so now mistakes are allowed. now, the best thing you can do is to use the gparted live cd. boot from that cd and you will be able to change the partitioning [02:44] Dakrav: same here [02:44] edbian ok i am going to try it now [02:44] nofrillz, ha, good one [02:44] sorry about htat [02:44] i sense sarcasm [02:44] windyone, sudo chown windyone -R /home/windyone [02:44] 216 mb of updates to install [02:45] yay [02:45] nucc1, does it matter? [02:45] then i gotta verify a personal pgp key with launchpad [02:45] Im back.. and didnt try yet.. which one [02:45] edbian, no idea, i just use one when changing ownership and the other when changing permissions [02:45] edbian, your call [02:46] edbian ok to try your way? [02:46] Benkinooby: i have formated twice or 3 times the "windows" hd. i have know that trick with live CD with gparted, ill read some on ubuntu wiki so i will not do mistakes. [02:46] x0x what is your native language? [02:46] nofrillz: Albanian. [02:46] Cool [02:46] edbian or nuccl?? [02:46] i speak 4 langs :P [02:46] which ones? [02:46] besides eng and alb [02:47] Greek, Bulgarian, Italian [02:47] you speak greek? [02:47] yes.. [02:47] windyone, ugh [02:47] holy shit [02:47] very well.. [02:47] windyone: is the .gvfs file your unique error? [02:47] whois me.. i live to greece. [02:47] windyone, I'm typing this one last time ok. sudo chown -R windyone:windyone /home/windyone [02:47] » Hostmask: ~Traveler@77.49.237.236.dsl.dyn.forthnet.gr [02:47] Now shut the fuck upp! windyone -- This song is for you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q04_ClDxRsk [02:47] x0x, ok, good luck. the gparted cd is not very big, so i can be downloaded fast. so the main message: no need to reinstall ubuntu. jsut leave it as it is, becuase it doesn't amtter on what hard disk it is [02:48] brb gotta reboot [02:48] Not for you gay men.. only for Vindy! :-) [02:48] nofrillz: greek is easy lang. [02:48] edbian invalid mode windyone:windyone [02:48] Benkinooby: thanks, i just need gparted cd right ? not ubuntu live ? [02:48] :P [02:49] nofrillz: that's why my write/pharsing is to bad :P [02:49] ok, windyone, use this: sudo chown windyone -R /home/windyone [02:49] windyone, invalid mode? I don't know what you're doing wrong [02:49] nuccl that is the first one I tried and I got invalid mode windyone [02:50] xOx yes just to format your HD but to instal you will need the Ubuntu cd or dvd [02:50] nuccl its like its not there or something?? [02:50] windyone, "chown" not "chmod" [02:50] x0x, gparted cd can only be used for making partitions. it can not be used for installing ubuntu. but because it is only for partitioning, it is small and faster than the ubuntu live cd. of course you can use the ubuntu live cd too, if you allready have one. i think the live cd has gparted on it [02:50] nuccl i think i did but I will try again [02:50] yes it have :) [02:50] windyone, yes, chown NOT chmod [02:51] windyone: gvfs is a virtual file system... you'll have a bad time trying to modify it's permissions or the owner [02:51] cablop, what do you suggest for windyone's problem? [02:52] Benkinooby: so when i format the windows hd it will start on ubuntu right?.. also a guy gived me a code and my windows HD is automount and i can see all windows files can be that create an error when i format? [02:52] first he must check if it is getting mounted [02:52] nuccl cannot access /home/windyone/ .gvfs permission denied [02:52] just mount at the terminal [02:52] windyone, I think nucc1 already knows that [02:52] windyone, i said you have to log out. [02:52] mine says [02:52] xOx no you will have to reinstall or repair the grub [02:52] gvfs-fuse-daemon on /data/home/cablop/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=cablop) [02:53] windyone, its a 'one' not an 'l' in nucc1 :) [02:53] nuccl i ctrl alt f1 then f7 [02:53] that is if the grub is on your xp drive [02:53] nucc1 oh god,, sorry [02:53] windyone, logout of your system right now, then alt+ctrl+f1, run the command, when it's done, then alt+ctrl+f7 and login [02:54] so, windyone type "mount" in the terminal [02:54] nucc1 I have done this several times.. [02:54] check if .gvfs is mounted ad its options [02:54] cablop, do you know what the problem is? [02:54] afaik, not even root is able to reach the gvfs of another user [02:54] cablop, the rest of the files are working. [02:54] cablop i will pastebin [02:54] cablop, even .xsession-errors is unreadable [02:54] afaik he is unable to reach that file [02:54] windyone, can you boot into recovery mode? [02:55] cablop http://pastebin.com/FZFhsT40 [02:55] ok, but, don't worry about the .gvfs, it is pretty normal you cannot access it with root [02:55] nucc1 http://pastebin.com/FZFhsT40 [02:55] edbian http://pastebin.com/FZFhsT40 [02:55] so don't waste time with the .gvfs [02:56] Travis-42: seems my problem was cache that I clear with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589975 using sudo sync; sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches , not sure why virtualbox couldn't clear it and use it [02:56] nucc1 i dont know.. never tried [02:56] TRING to boot to recovery [02:56] Hi, I want to mv some folders back a directory, when I "mv -f * .." it errors and says that it cannot move, Directory not empty how can I force it to overwrite? [02:56] windyone: are you able to reach any file? [02:57] windyone, you are chatting from a different computer? [02:57] Datz: mv -R . .. [02:57] thanks rusty149 [02:58] windyone: what is your problem? [02:58] humm, says invalid option [02:58] cablop, home folder says "not found" when he tries to open it. [02:58] Gentlemen.. I am sorry for taking all this time from you.. I do not have windoze duel boot so therefore the computer boots directly to the ubuntu desktop.. I dont know how to go into recovery mode with no grub [02:58] Datz: well replace . with the directories you want to mv [02:59] Datz, use find [02:59] hey guys, is there anything available for Ubuntu that emulates the media-server capabilities of something like Windows Home Server, Media centre etc ? [02:59] windyone_: hold down shift to make grub's menu appear [02:59] I want to move all the folders back one folder mv -R * .. [02:59] Datz: "man mv" and "mv --help" should explain everything. Manuals are quite useful tools. What are you trying to move? What files? Where to where? [03:00] windyone_: hold shift key after boot [03:00] windyone u have a grub u just dont see it [03:00] Datz: and file? [03:00] QuikNik: could setup mythtv. it has all that plus DVR and movie theatre listings and bunches else [03:00] Datz, find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec mv {} .. \; [03:00] ok all.. I boot "and" hold shift as it is booting?? [03:00] QuikNik: XBMC? [03:00] Datz, find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec mv {} .. \; [03:00] maco: so it does have media server capabilities too? and not just DVR ? [03:00] type d, not f [03:00] thanks overdub [03:01] Datz: All the folders and files? then, mv -R ./ ../ [03:01] I am holding shift and no grub menu is coming up [03:01] chris2kn5, never heard of it... it's a media server too? [03:01] ah, ok thank, that's easier :) === RobotCow is now known as JRobo [03:01] QuikNik: yes, mythtv is a server-client system. ive only used it with a single machine, but it does allow you to install the mythtv client on one system and the server on another and just let them know each others' IP addresses [03:01] Datz: XBMC = XBox Media Center [03:01] windyone u have to have one or the computer will not boot [03:02] QuikNik: Well, we're talking about linux. You can set up any unix machine to be a media server. XBMC is a quite nice media player. [03:02] windyone_, in terminal, type 'sudo init 6' [03:02] windyone_: you have to hold one key at booting, you can also modify and rebuild the grub2 [03:02] rusty149: I have no idea why I'm getting an error that -R is invalid option === JRobo is now known as RobotCow [03:02] let me remember if it is shift... now i'm in doubt [03:02] Datz: Paste your command and the output [03:03] rusty149, Datz: The "-R" does not exist for mv. [03:03] I'll try overdub's option :) [03:03] ok [03:03] find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name '.' -exec mv {} .. \; [03:03] that works [03:04] windyone_: yes it is to hold he shift key at boot [03:04] maco: thanks [03:04] chris2kn5: Datz: Oh ofcoarse, sorry. It is just mv ./* ../ [03:04] chris2kn5: cool, thanks man [03:04] but at the very very boot, just before your bios start loading the mbr [03:05] how do u open compizconfig? === sagaci_ is now known as sagaci [03:05] rusty149, well I know the command, but it doesn't overwrite the preexisting folders [03:05] overdub: same as above problem with your command ^ === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [03:05] Hey - I am trying to create a bootable cd for ubuntu from USB HDD using (mmunity/BootFromUSB) and having issue locating stage2_eltorito on ubuntu 10.10 live cd. Wondering if anyone can help me out? [03:05] What's the best free hosting management software for Ubuntu, which -does not- force encapsulation of site files such as XAMPP would? [03:06] overdub: http://pastebin.com/V7WGJKsY [03:06] Datz: It should overwrite by default. What does it do instead? [03:07] see the above pastebin [03:07] same error [03:07] Datz: overdub: That find wont work because you are moving the current directory (which you are using) and not jusr the contents [03:08] ah [03:08] how do u open compizconfig? [03:08] Datz: You said mv is not overwriting? What does it do instead? [03:08] i had it all set up and when i rebooted it went away [03:08] awesome [03:08] Datz: Are you sure the names are the same? [03:09] How do you stop a network from auto-connecting once you've connected to it once? [03:09] did you look at the pastebin? [03:09] rusty149: ^ [03:09] WOW ok it still didnt work.. This is what I did. logged out restarted and held shift. grub came up and I hit recovery mode and signed in.. then i did sudo chown -R windyone:windyone /home/windyone and restarted.. it still sayes "file not found" when I go to places home folder [03:09] Like, I want wlan0 to stop trying to connect to a certain SSID automatically [03:09] I guess I can manually delete the old dirs [03:09] exit [03:09] Google has been unhelpful in finding this on my own [03:09] why is nc doing this -- http://i.imgur.com/fq0hk.png [03:09] is nc installed correctly on ubuntu? [03:09] o [03:09] windyone, the last trick in my bag. sudo aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop [03:10] Datz: Yes that does not have the mv command, mv ./* ../ [03:10] Datz, you might be having an issue with the directory names starting with the # character [03:10] .. [03:10] windyone, then log out and log back in. [03:10] nucc1 will that remove my pictures [03:10] overdub: ok, that's what I was thinking too [03:10] windyone, it won't remove anything. [03:10] nucc1 ok Ill try it. [03:11] hello people i have a ubuntu that duel boots with windows 7 but my ubuntu is running on 29gb is their anyway i can expand this and lower my windows 7 without uninstalling [03:11] ? [03:11] rusty149: http://pastebin.com/Km6VfV08 [03:12] Datz, find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name '.' -exec mv {} .. \; <-- that works here even for files named with leading # [03:12] ok thanks I'll try it :) [03:12] overdub: humm, same problem here though [03:12] I see the /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/ folder, but it does not have stage2_eltorito to be able to copy to create bootable cd. [03:12] prezident: you can boot from a live cd and use gparted to resize the partitions [03:13] Datz: It is because of the contents of the dest folders [03:13] humm [03:13] ok i can't use gparted that can be downloaded from ubuntu software [03:13] ? [03:13] How do you stop a network from auto-connecting once you've connected to it once? [03:13] Datz: Try rsync [03:13] Like, I want wlan0 to stop trying to connect to a certain SSID automatically [03:13] nucc1 it didnt work.. would it help if i told you the /home partition may be its own partition??? I saw a utube about partitioning and tried it for the first time but I think I got into home before [03:13] why is nc doing this -- http://i.imgur.com/fq0hk.png [03:13] how do u open compizconfig after installing? [03:13] is nc installed correctly on ubuntu? [03:14] is installing a module from a deb for a module that already exists the kernel lead to problems? [03:14] is there a way to remove multiple dirs at once: rm this/ that/ theother/ ? [03:14] ubuntuJ: there is a tool to create a bootable cd from an install called remastersys http://geekconnection.org/remastersys/ [03:14] windyone, yes, it would help to say how it happened [03:14] hi friends === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [03:14] * Datz will look into rsync [03:14] windyone, you tried partitioning while the system was running? [03:14] Datz: Yes but I think rsync will work better for this. I can give you the command in a sec [03:14] nucc1 I have 3 seperate partitions.. swap another one for the os and another one for /home [03:15] windyone, your earlier pasts did not suggest that. [03:15] grandmaster, it should be in you menu's perhaps prefferences! [03:15] i know but its not [03:15] windyone, so what exactly happened? [03:15] nucc1 didnt think it needed to [03:16] nucc1 what do you mean what happened? I set up the harddrive with 3 partitions and all was well [03:16] windyone, yes, then you did what before the problem started? [03:16] nucc1 I think so anyway.. I am going to check gparted to see if it was in fact this comp [03:17] windyone, don't mess with gparted [03:17] prezident go here and dl this small cd and u will be able to do just about any thing to your hd's http://www.sysresccd.org/ [03:17] windyone, did you try partitioning again after you installed? [03:17] Datz, what is it exactly that you're trying to do? [03:17] nucc1 nope.. that was on my desktop [03:17] Datz: rsync -r --remove-source-files --delete ./ ../ [03:17] this laptop has one large partition [03:18] windyone, so do you recall what caused the error to start hapening? [03:18] Datz: 'rm -rf this that theother' will do it. Just be sure you have it correct before you hit return since there's no undelete... [03:18] nucc1 false alarm... the error started tonight.. [03:18] grandmaster, try typing in a terminal compizconfig-settings-manager it may start [03:18] nucc1 I clicked on places then home folder.. that was the start of it and it started tonight [03:19] i installed ubunut10.04 inside window, now when i start ubuntu it says "cannot find GRLDE in any drive" what shall i do? [03:19] Switched from Intel integrated graphics to an ATI Rage Pro 128. I just took the HDD out and put it in another computer. I am running the r128 driver, but I cannot get my resolution higer than 800x600. Any way I can force a high resolution? [03:19] Datz: rsync should be faster if the folders are similar as well [03:19] is it going to stay on after i restart? [03:19] I'm having a GRUB issue, can anyone help? [03:20] i installed ubunut10.04 inside window, now when i start ubuntu it says "cannot find GRLDE in any drive" what shall i do? [03:20] !details | ericneu [03:20] ericneu: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [03:20] grandmaster, did it start? [03:20] nucc1 I noticed when going into recovery that the system stated it didnt see some security precautions and I dont know what to do about that.. is it talking about clamav or something? [03:20] it wont start [03:20] nucc1 I dont rem the exact comment on the black screen [03:20] ericneu: Can't help but I'm having issues creating a grub bootable cd - related problem atleast ;/ [03:21] windyone, no, not clamav, [03:21] i installed ubunut10.04 inside window, now when i start ubuntu it says "cannot find GRLDE in any drive" what shall i do? [03:21] nucc1 anyway, that is another issue.. I am concerned about getting into home for now [03:21] !repeat | rams [03:21] rams: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [03:21] ubuntuJ: GRUB doesn't boot cds, just use the BIOS option for that [03:21] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager may help [03:21] I woke up to a blinking underbar, through multiple restarts. I realized GRUB must have gotten hosed. I tried using an SGD LiveCD to restore it, but that didn't work. I ended up installed a second copy of Ubuntu alongside my original. [03:21] windyone, you could try the following: sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-desktop [03:22] nucc1 ok i will [03:22] windyone, i strongly think it's a permission thing, or some messed up configuration, i just don't know how to get at it [03:22] xangua, what is meant by !repeat? [03:22] windyone, you should be running these commands in a VT (alt+ctrl+f1) [03:23] windyone, especially since you have a second computer from which to chat [03:23] That worked, but now I'd like to clean up my HDD and I can't re-expand my original install's partition. There is a non-movable "bios_grub" flagged 1 MiB partition in the way, which I'm assuming is where GRUB was reinstalled to. [03:23] the command to start your CompizConfig Settings Manager is ccsm [03:23] What ever happened to xorg.conf? It is not in /etc/X11/ anymore, did it move? [03:23] ericneu: Can you boot the original Ubuntu? [03:23] nucc1 oh.. I have been in reg terminal.. your past post didnt mention that [03:23] Yes, I can boot both. [03:23] nucc1 Ill try it hold on [03:23] sacarlson - Thx for link. I don't want a full-backup of the install - just a cd that will allow my USB install to be bootable (which my bios won't handle by default). Would remastersys help with that? [03:23] Well, technically, I can't boot both anymore. I just wiped the "second" install, as I can easily get into my original now. [03:24] ericneu: Do you want to remove new one and resize original partition? [03:24] (running from a LiveCD now) [03:24] m2mg, ccsm [03:24] Yes, but the GRUB partition is in the way. [03:24] CompizConfig Settings Manager [03:24] ericneu: OK mount the Ubuntu partition. [03:24] original? [03:24] it will start it [03:25] rusty149 - Not able to use my bios to boot to USB HDD. Docs on Ubuntu wiki lead me to believe a bootable cd with the linux kernel on it was next best option. Yes? No? Completely wrong? [03:25] ericneu: Your Ubuntu partition [03:25] grandmaster, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager may help [03:25] It is mounted [03:25] I'm trying to debug a crash that I get while playing Counter Strike Source, I'm trying to use linux-crashdump to do so.. it's not outputing anything in /var/crash in fact /var/crash doesn't even exist [03:26] ubuntuJ: Yeah that should work. But you still need to change the bios boot order. Or press something like F12 to see boot options [03:27] the last line in kern.log is hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj. , but I don't think I have an intel components in my pc [03:27] ericneu: What is the mount path and the device i.e, /mnt and /dev/sda1?? [03:27] cablop, did windyone get that issue fixed? [03:28] ubuntuJ: if you already have a bootable usb flash and your bios won't support boot from usb then you need to look at plop http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [03:28] nucc1 I tried everything and I get permission error also.. I dont know what to do.. I can access my programs but not my home folder [03:28] bios boot order lets me boot from CD - which then loads rest of persistent install from usb hdd. But 10.10 does not seem to have stage2_eltorito to copy to the disk image. or atleast I can't find it. [03:28] I've just mounted it to /tmp/ and the device is /dev/sda7 [03:28] ericneu: Run, sudo grub-install --root-directory=/tmp /dev/sda [03:28] windyone, the programs aren't installed in the home folder, that's why. [03:28] sacarlson - Thanks. Not a bootable usb flash - a usb hdd. [03:28] nucc1 Thats right.. [03:28] nucc1, windyone did we fix that issue? [03:29] edbian, nope [03:29] ubuntuJ: yes it supports that too include pxe and boot support add and more [03:29] nucc1, what have we tried? [03:29] ok i got compizconfig to work but when i enable cube and rotate and hit the keys it goes between workspace 1 2 3 4 no cube? [03:29] ubuntuJ: Sorry, what are you trying to do with GRUB then? [03:29] Installation finished, no error reported! [03:29] nucc1 no. places/homefolder file not found [03:29] edbian, booting into recovery mode and running the commands. successfully, apparently, but to no effect [03:29] whats the best method to store and share photos between to users on on pc [03:29] sacarlson - Thanks, will check that out. [03:30] windyone, edbian i'm thinking its time to ask in a gnome-centric channel [03:30] perhaps on irc.gimp.net [03:30] ubuntuJ: I assume it's a bootable usb hdd [03:30] rusty149: Following the wiki instructions that said to copy /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/stage2_eltorito [03:30] nucc1, worth a shot [03:30] windyone, What did you do that spurred this issue? [03:30] is there a bug in 'nc' in ubuntu 10.10 [03:30] edbian, if you could guide windyone to do that... i gotta get some sleep now :) [03:30] any suggestions? [03:30] sacarlson - I have that assumption as well. When I setup the partition for the install, it showed as bootable flag on. [03:30] grandmaster turn off the desktop wallpaper [03:30] Has anyone experienced problems installing firefox extensions? [03:30] nucc1, cya [03:30] Why is nc doing this -- http://i.imgur.com/fq0hk.png [03:30] is nc broken? [03:30] windyone, run this: /join #irc.gimp.net [03:31] edbian Nothing. I just went to the folder and got file not found [03:31] windyone, I mean this: /server #irc.gimp.net [03:31] how do i do that? [03:31] i was doing it before while having a custom wallpaper [03:31] edbian run as in alt ctrl f1? [03:31] em, man nc [03:31] nucc1 thanks for tring [03:31] anyone have any experience using linux-crashdump ? any good recently done guides? [03:31] whats the best method to store and share photos between to users on on pc [03:32] siema [03:32] windyone, no, you need to go to the gnome channel on a different server in irc chat [03:32] wlan0 issue anyone? [03:32] fluvvell: why? [03:32] start your CompizConfig Settings Manager and uncheck it and check the cube or just check thecube and it will prompt u [03:32] edbian ok thx for tring [03:32] windyone, yeah [03:33] Nevermind, I figured it out myself! [03:33] !ask | Irreducibilis, [03:33] Irreducibilis,: 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. :-) [03:33] I guess I didn't need help :) [03:33] jennifer: It depends, but if you just want to allow access to files. Then change the permissions for the photos folder. Assuming they are on the same pc. [03:33] every time i change apperance to extra which i think i need to do to cube and x out it goes back to none [03:34] em, to get the nuances of the usage [03:34] same pc i just want central loacation rather than 2 picture location [03:34] can someone please help me set up compizconfig? [03:34] grandmaster that sounds like your video card will not handle it....what type of card do u have [03:35] i already ran it today [03:35] can i make a public directory where both of us can access and add photos [03:35] ubuntuJ: maybe you should try your iso cd image in virtualbox that should support it to at least verify that it's bootable [03:35] ok [03:35] did u start your CompizConfig Settings Manager [03:35] yes [03:35] open [03:36] jennifer, yes [03:36] how [03:36] jennifer: sudo mkdir -p /media/Photos && sudo chmod 777 /media/Photos && sudo mv /path/to/photos /media/Photos [03:36] jennifer, just change the perimssions on the folder [03:36] and if u check the box besind cube does it let u do it [03:36] where do i create a folder in file system? [03:36] jennifer, do what rusty149 said [03:36] Ok, i read in a forum (the 3rd possible solution) that to be able to install add-ons on ubuntu's firefox I had to change ipv6 value on the about:config to disabled. [03:36] ok brb ill try [03:36] jennifer, doesn't really matter but /media is good. Or you home [03:36] yes [03:36] Pretty tricky if you ask me. [03:36] did u also check the rotate cube? [03:36] yes [03:37] How could a regular user install ubuntu and not be able to install firefox addons? [03:37] jennifer is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [03:37] lol [03:37] Some guys know how to setup syslog to achieve this: "a syslog server A collect the logs of node [1-4], and forward this log to server B" [03:37] wtf [03:37] when i hit the buttons it switches to the other workspaces but no cube [03:37] for default setting under rotate cube is cel+alt_button1 [03:37] can i use other sudo person or do i have to log in [03:37] like run as [03:38] jennifer: You need sudo to mkdir so yes just switch users is the best thing.

[03:46] what would cause the places locations to be moved to bookmarks? [03:47] nvida drivers? [03:47] I think places and bookmarks are the same [03:48] lucas_: So you can't boot the squashfs. If you want to access it you can unsquash it from an Ubuntu system [03:48] sambagirl: open up nautilus. are they in teh bookmarks section in the left sidebar? if so, that. you can move them around [03:48] rusty149: I made a remastersys backup of my install. Now it gives me the files to put on a bootable iso.

This will give slightly higher compression at the cost of compression time [04:09] xangua, does it get fixed after reboot? [04:09] FloatingGoat: its a group of volunteers. [04:10] lucas_: It may fit on a dvd or the usb-creator option if not. [04:11] earthling^: System > Preference > Appearance > Visual Effects > None ..that will use metacity and will stick through reboots [04:11] bastidrazor, yes, I already have none checked, it still loads up compiz after reboot [04:11] edwardteach, Thank You for the lshw command.... nice piece of kit that. [04:12] hey guys [04:13] does ubuntu have a point and click OS builder like SuSe not that important but if so i'd like name of that package to download? [04:13] hmm now no options are checked [04:13] rollman u mean like suse studio ? [04:14] is that an Operating system builder? [04:14] anyone know of a page that describes all the fields possible in a Packages.(gz|bz2) file in an apt repo? [04:14] when I try to browse my local network in with nautilus, it crashes.

[04:14] ok, now it seems to work, I'll see if it remembers it [04:14] Is there something like camfrog for ubuntu?

[04:15] can i im u ? [04:15] edwardteach, I'm going to test this.... if it doesn't work I'll be back lolz [04:15] lahwran: Is http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-controlfields.html#s-controlfieldslist what you're looking for? [04:15] bye all [04:15] bye [04:15] m2mg: is that available for ubuntu? [04:15] grandmaster: just post your question.. that way if I can't help, you won't have to type it again. [04:16] i installed compizconfig earlier got cube to work then it didnt then i got it to work again and rebooted and it didnt work [04:16] sambagirl: that happens when you put too many bookmarks [04:16] i am a total linux noob and this is literally my first day on ubuntu [04:16] xangua i see [04:16] now i have changed a bunch of stuff and i cant get it to work [04:17] @rollman no i dont tnik so [04:17] grandmaster: well. it sounds like you are doing well then. did you install compiz config manager? [04:17] think [04:17] yes [04:17] rww: yes, thank you [04:17] grandmaster, it might be easier if you use simple-ccsm [04:17] xangua then in theory if i remove some of the book marks u.mmm..bookmarks for the browser of the operating system? [04:17] grandmaster, It's easier to figure out at first [04:17] i have both [04:17] grandmaster: I agree with edbian [04:17] where is the bookmarks folder path? [04:17] hey how do i list all usernames ? [04:17] in root shell [04:17] when i hit the buttons to cube it switches to workplace 1 2 3 4 no cube [04:18] OptimaD, installed on the system or logged in right now? [04:18] grandmaster, use simple-ccsm [04:18] sambagirl: you can remove them in nautilus, simply right click and remove [04:18] grandmaster: compiz --replace [04:18] How large are the free UbuntuOne accounts? [04:18] i suppose i can live with it like this but i dont especially prefer it. [04:18] xiven: 2GB [04:18] what in the terminal? [04:18] edbian its my old linux box and im root in it right now but not sure what my login was so wanted to see my logins and then change my pass [04:18] xiven: 2gb i believe, you can pay for more [04:19] grandmaster: alt-F2 [04:19] m2mg: k thx not that important just be nice to see as a package for ubuntu [04:19] bastidrazor if i do will they return to original locaion under places or will i need to do that as well to reinstall them there? [04:19] p2p in ubuntu? [04:19] edbian, i did passwd user but i get "unknown user" so is there a command to see a list of existing users? [04:19] now what [04:19] That is not within my budget right now, and 2GB is not sufficient for what I had in mind. [04:19] OptimaD, you can see all the users by looking at the /etc/passwd file. cat /etc/passwd. Keep in mind that many of them are added their for the system's use. User added ones should be at the bottom === Daniel__ is now known as Drone4four [04:19] grandmaster: in the box type: compiz --replace [04:19] sambagirl: once you get it below likw 5 or 6 bookmarks, they'll go back to normal [04:19] Does anybody know if it's possible to install the compiz plugin of "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" that comes with 11.04, but on 10.10? [04:20] starkiller: what is your question? [04:20] rollman take a look at it it might pull in the packages you need they have done alot with it [04:20] Roasted: I don't think so [04:20] ok it like blanked for a second [04:20] sambagirl: they are only a symlink. the folder/file never left its original location [04:20] ok thanks. btw do they use growl in ubuntu like in osx? [04:20] Roasted: I believe there is a #ubuntu-unity [04:20] edbian i tried and found two usernames at bottom that are mine but if i do "password " i get an error saying "unknown user " ? [04:20] i see bastidrazor [04:20] sambagirl: growl is only for osx [04:20] sambagirl: is called notify-osd [04:20] gpc: "#ubuntu-unity: No such nick/channel" ;P [04:20] ahh i see [04:20] OptimaD, are you making a typo? [04:20] OptimaD, can you su into those users? [04:20] can i get it back to all of its defaults? [04:20] rww: thanks [04:21] * rww ponders alis output [04:21] m2mg: i will later im being lazy :P [04:21] rww: so where should people go to get unitied? [04:21] lol ok [04:21] I mean unified [04:21] gpc: I don't see a channel for it, and didn't last time I looked either :\ [04:21] gpc, nobody there. so. Im here. since its 10.10 related :) [04:21] gpc: I think #ubuntu+1 has just been dealing with it. [04:21] i think iwill leave it like it is. i kinda like it. [04:21] edbian nvm it works, if i do cat /etc/passwd/ and then do passwd it works but before i tried doing passwd in root without doing cat and it didnt work... weird..? [04:21] Roasted: yeah like I said Unity in 10.10 is different from 11.04 [04:22] Roasted: Last I heard, Unity stuff was too hard to backport to 10.10, hence them not doing it. [04:22] OptimaD, very weird [04:22] OptimaD, glad it works :) [04:22] edbian thanks :) [04:22] Roasted: They were originally planning to make a 10.10 PPA, and decided not to because it'd take large amounts of work that'd be better spent just making 11.04 better. [04:22] rww, Im running unity in 10.10. I'm just curious about auto hide feature. unless that's what you were referring to. [04:22] OptimaD, no problem! Glad I could help [04:22] Roasted: 10.10 Unity is completely different from 11.04 Unity in everything except name and layout. [04:22] Roasted: It's a complete rewrite. [04:22] rww, makes sense. It's just a real shame, because 11.04 fails to laod for me on my netbook. I just get a incompatible hardware error :( [04:23] rww, hence me trying to make 10.10 work :P [04:23] which, I did, aside from auto hide. [04:23] auto hide would be NICE on a 9 inch laptop screen. [04:23] Roasted: I know, you've mentioned. I'd recommend figuring out your graphics hardware and filing a bug report if it usually works with Compiz instead ;) [04:23] rww, well I spoke to a developer earlier who was aware of the issue and said theyre already on it, but eh. I like this unity thing. I'm just trying to make it work better. [04:23] blah. [04:24] Roasted: Which one, out of interest? [04:24] Hi all. I'm experiencing kernel panics while trying it I/O a disk with `dd`. Is there a logfile of the kernel panic somewhere I can use to get more info? [04:24] rww, oh man, lol. I have no idea. I've spent several hours talking to people about this. I wouldn't be able to place who said what. [04:25] can someone please help me with compiz config? [04:25] Roasted: lol. But yeah, it's still rather a mess, and I bailed out and switched to KDE so I can't play with it for you. I'd just wait for things to settle down a bit and see. Trying to get it running on 10.10 probably is a dead end. [04:25] grandmaster, I can help. Install simple-ccsm [04:25] grandmaster, :) [04:25] Can someone help me with ubuntu-server wireless config? [04:25] Tashia, what's the problem? [04:25] i already installed it i think i messed it all up everything i try i cannot get it to work anymore [04:25] Hi, i have created to ACLs one for allowed_sites and one for allowed_hosts then in squid.conf i added [04:25] rww, well, I HAVE unity on 10.10. In fact it runs quite good (but I'm running a 2D PPA, not the 3D PPA). the auto hide is literally the only thing there I wish I had. [04:25] grandmaster: you need to follow instruction. in #compiz they can help you. [04:26] http_access allow allowed_hosts allowed_sites [04:26] but i still get access denied! [04:26] why? [04:26] hey guys... I just tried inserting an pcmcia wireless card but nothing seems to be happening and lspci is registering no changes... is there a command I have to run to refresh? [04:26] how do i get there? [04:26] rww, I can see in youtube videos theres a plugin in compiz which enables this, so I was like, well, I'm on compiz, maybe I can get the plugin and just install it??? [04:26] grandmaster: type /join #compiz [04:26] derklempner, I cant get connected to any wireless networks. I can scan but not connect. This is all CLI no desktop [04:26] Roasted: by "unity", I meant the 3D version that's in 11.04 ;) [04:26] grandmaster, the simple ccsm is in System -> preferences farther down (simple-ccsm) [04:26] Roasted: The one in 10.10 is too crap for me to bother with it, tbh. [04:27] grandmaster, You don't have to switch channels. I'll help you [04:27] rww, I didnt notice a difference in 2d vs 3d at all, besides the fact 2d wasnt dog slow. [04:27] hiyah, how do I copy one folder and all it's contents into another folder? command line only? [04:27] grandmaster, If we need to reset everything to the defaults we can do so by removing the hidden .compiz folder. rm -r ~/.compiz [04:27] what is unity? [04:27] Roasted: The default one in 10.10 uses mutter for 3D and is unusably slow. The default one in 11.04 uses Compiz for 3D and was nice and fast for me before it broke. I haven't tried the 2D ones [04:27] is it cp -R /folder1 /folder2 ? [04:27] !unity [04:27] Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [04:28] Tashia, do you have an account/password for these wireless networks? [04:28] breadcrumb_, yes. we know. thank you. [04:28] yes [04:28] no prob [04:28] grandmaster, how's it going? [04:28] Tashia, do you have a copy of your /etc/networking/interfaces file I can see? [04:28] i have only used linux for today i have no idea how to do that [04:28] lol sorry [04:28] grandmaster, tha'ts ok. What part are you confused about? [04:29] grandmaster, first answer me this. Do you have a simple-ccsm in System-> preferences ? [04:29] Would allowing remote desktop client access for Gnome cause a performance or bandwidth hit on my 512RAM VPS? [04:29] lets set compiz config to default [04:29] theres nothing in it [04:29] yes i do [04:29] grandmaster, if you use simple-ccsm does it work? (we'll get to resetting the defaults after this) [04:29] yes === happyface_ is now known as rcarcamo [04:29] i have simple and the other one [04:30] i had the cube running earlier [04:30] does anyone know of a program that will erase/overwrite all unused portions of my hard drive? [04:30] grandmaster, turn the cube on using simple-ccsm [04:30] grandmaster, does that not work? [04:30] I want to scrub it every so often [04:30] derklempner, Theres nothing in my interfaces file, I just looked [04:30] Tashia, you need to set up your wireless adapter by configuring /etc/network/interfaces to connect to a network. [04:30] does not work [04:30] should probably reset to default i have been messing around with everything [04:30] derklempner, Any tutorials on setting that up? [04:31] Tashia, sorry, it's /etc/network/interfaces, not /etc/networking/interfaces [04:31] grandmaster, ok. open a terminal and run this command in it to reset compiz. It deletes a folder [04:31] grandmaster, the command: rm -r ~/.compiz [04:31] ok [04:31] hi, where should I download ubuntu 64 bit for intel hardware? [04:31] can i just cut and paste that? [04:31] derklempner, Only lo is configured in that [04:32] anirvana: use the amd64 iso, it works fine [04:32] rww , thanks [04:32] Tashia, okay, look at this site: http://www.linuxconfig.org/etcnetworkinterfacesto-connect-ubuntu-to-a-wireless-network [04:32] Anyone successfully runs Camfrog with ubuntu? [04:33] Tashia, but make sure you know the name of your wireless adapter by running the ifconfig command before you edit that file. Your adapter may not be named "wlan0". [04:33] derklempner, I know its eth1 [04:34] Tashia, I thought you said it was wireless? [04:34] Is there a log left after kernel panics? === cst05001_meeting is now known as cst05001_lunch [04:35] just the one that floats in the .... nm [04:35] derklempner, IT is [04:35] hey... I like your nick... dick. :P [04:35] well im stuck.. i cant get my better meter to work correctly ( i dont know quite how to fix it [04:35] derklempner, For some reason its eth1 [04:35] i guess [04:35] gmachine_24, you could use the command shred [04:36] edwardteach, thank you. [04:36] Tashia, how many adapters and what are their names show up when you type the command ifconfig? [04:36] somewhere I knew that........... getting old blows [04:36] eth0,eth1,lo [04:36] lol [04:36] Tashia, how about if you type the command iwconfig? [04:37] same [04:37] Tashia, then I think your wireless device isn't being recognized. Do you know what brand it is? Is it USB or a PCI card? === rafa is now known as Guest73285 [04:38] derklempner, internal if that helps [04:38] Tashia, what brand? [04:38] wlan0 would be good [04:38] derklempner, i dont know what brand it is [04:38] so can anyone help troubleshoot a problem with nautilus not browsing samba shares? [04:39] Tashia, use the command lspci and try to find the corresponding info for the card. [04:39] derklempner, intel [04:39] Tashia, more info, please [04:40] My lspci says, e.g., 02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03) [04:40] derklempner, Intel Pro Wireless [Calexico2] Network Connection (rev 05)? [04:41] ok all thanks for the help. have a good night/day depending on your longitude and lassitude (yes, I know that's incorrect, it's a joke) [04:42] don't get the joke [04:43] Tashia, try 'iwlist wlan0 scanning' at a command prompt. [04:43] i get to a point and then i get an error: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-skype-in-ubuntu-from-skype-repository.html - at: Now you need to install GPG key - i get: http://chalcedony.pastebin.com/azJFx01E [04:44] Tashia, or just 'iwlist wlan0 scan'. [04:45] well atleast i know its not just me.. but i cant seem to find any solutions either *( hoping its cuz i suck at looking through bug reports.. [04:45] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/654761 [04:45] anyways im pretty sure thats the exact problem but.. 8( darn [04:45] derklempner, Interface doesnt support scanning [04:45] Tashia, terminal type lshw | grep -iA 7 "network" [04:46] it was reported in 04 so i figured something has to have been fixed by now.... [04:46] chalcedony: do u have Ubutnu Tweaks its in they for you to install [04:46] m2mg, hmmm hadn't thought about it [04:46] m2mg, how do i do that, it's 10.04 [04:46] Tashia, for your network card !! [04:47] what get Ubuntu Tweaks? [04:47] chalcedony: That error message is about another repository you added for Opera, not about Skype. Ubuntu Tweak wouldn't fix it. [04:47] rww, i see .. so now what? [04:47] derklempner, Network:1, product: PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection [04:48] chalcedony: I'm trying to find the right key. one sec. [04:48] off topic channel some1 plz [04:48] How do I debug a kernel panic? [04:48] trojan_spike: #ubuntu-offtopic [04:48] chalcedony http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-ubuntu-tweak-in-ubuntu-10-04lucid-lynx.html [04:48] derklempner, logicalname: eth1 [04:48] rww, thanks [04:48] cheers [04:48] m2mg, ok ill save that for after i solve skype .. thanks :) [04:49] Tashia, okay, then go back to the web site I directed to you earlier, but for every instance of 'wlan0' you see in the example, substitute 'eth1' for your wireless network card. [04:49] Ubuntu tweaks has skype in there for you to install the program [04:49] if thats what your trying to do [04:50] how to install flash for chrome? [04:50] derklempner, I'll bet she doesn't have the drivers installed (ipw2200) [04:50] pradyumna doesnt google chrome have flash built-in? [04:51] 3 commands and u have Ubutnu Tweaks [04:51] it is saying to upgrade flash for youtube [04:51] Chipzzz, you may be correct, or the computer may have just given it a different designation because it's a PCI device. [04:51] chalcedony: there's instructions at http://deb.opera.com/ for adding the new key [04:51] is chrome fully updated? [04:51] yes i think [04:51] rww thanks :) [04:52] i have installed flash from the software center [04:52] derklempner, The instructions say to put wireless-essid linuxconfig.org? What do i put? [04:52] which is preferred to kill a process or end a process? [04:52] and also tried the terminal install [04:53] W: GPG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1295781467 KEYEXPIRED 1295781467 KEYEXPIRED 1295781467 [04:53] then the "restricted" package in the ubuntu software center should update flash, and give you other file support as well. [04:53] Tashia, for 'wireless-essid' put your network's SSID instead; for 'wireless-key' put your own wireless key instead; you can ignore the 'wireless-mode' line or include it, it doesn't matter. [04:54] sambagirl, try 'top' then press 'k' put the process id in, hit enter, then 15 [04:54] pradyumna ? [04:54] Tashia, derklempner, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=965837 [04:55] Hey, I have a problem with the g++ package [04:55] chalcedony i actually use htop but i know what your referring to i was just curious which is preferred to kill or end a process? [04:55] rww, i wonder if i need to unistall the old key? [04:55] it depends on a package that depends on it [04:55] sambagirl, 'dead' .. used to be killall pid .. or kill 9 name .. [04:55] trying it [04:56] Sometimes I find myself doing this -- "kill -9 $(pidof firefox)" [04:56] I kill it nice and slow. :) [04:56] ok thanks chalcedony [04:56] pradyumna ok. tell me if it works. [04:56] red2kic, isn't it lovely? [04:56] chalcedony: ugh. apparently they used the old key to sign the Release file on the repository you're using. The issue's on their side, not yours >.> [04:57] chalcedony: Ha. killall seems to be excessive act. [04:57] rww, oh ok.. umm .. so... [04:57] i was just curious the difference of killing a process and ending a process? one is like pulling the plug on the device (kil), and end a process is like turning off the switch? [04:57] and thus i cannot install either [04:58] chalcedony: you could temporarily disable the repository and then try again in a few days. Add a # at the start of the line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list that doesn't have one, or uncheck the relevant line in Software Sources [04:58] chalcedony: (and when it's disabled, it won't interfere with Skype install) [04:58] edwardteach, thanks for the info! [04:58] sambagirl: man kill you will find a list there of all the different signals [04:59] What is the usual proper way to rename Terminal when you're in irssi? I'm guessing alias + gnome-terminal -options? [04:59] !botsnack [04:59] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [04:59] derklempner, I'll download that package and see if that fixes anything [04:59] deathanatos: from this post http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-kernel-70/kernel-panic-not-syncing-attempted-to-kill-init-313273/ sounds like you might have bad mem hardware problem, try run memtest [04:59] n00b question: Can I install both Nginx and Apache on my VPS Ubuntu? [05:00] How do I get audio in ubuntu server? [05:00] sam-_- i am really just couious the difference in functioinality with kill and end a process :D [05:00] rww, that file says it's read only and won't let me save & exit [05:00] only from the command line, no X11 [05:00] chalcedony: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [05:00] Tashia, I would definitely look into wicd, because if you're not using a laptop then it could be the solution you're looking for. [05:00] UnderSampled: Depends on what your using to play the music with [05:00] sambagirl: term can be blocked by the process whereas kill can not. [05:00] derklempner, okaly dokaly ! [05:00] thak you very much it worked [05:01] oh ok sam-_- [05:01] Can I install both Nginx and Apache on my Ubuntu server? [05:01] pradyumna nice to know. good luck with ubuntu! [05:01] Flare183: I have a program that's just trying to load /dev/dsp [05:01] charas: yes [05:01] charas: I would think so, but you'd have to use different ports between them [05:01] till now its a good experience [05:01] derklempner, cant download it. The computer that needs it cant get internet right now and thats my only ubuntu machine [05:01] charas: Flare183 is correct [05:02] UnderSampled: well if your doing it that way, its giong to be difficult [05:02] Hey folks, hopefully easy question.... Will the USB Stick Installer also work from a SD card? [05:02] Flare183: Thanks. That's exactly what I wanted to know [05:02] Flare183: ? [05:02] normally if you going to do that, you'd need pulseaudio [05:02] Which requires X11 I think [05:02] Tashia, is the computer a laptop? [05:02] I'm nto sure [05:02] not* [05:02] chalcedony: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list, or gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera.list [05:03] maxbots i the machin can boot from the sd card, yes. [05:03] derklempner, yes. I hope it doesnt make too much a difference [05:03] chalcedony: (nano is a command-line editor, gedit is a GUI one. you'd run either of those commands in the terminal) [05:03] DaGeek247: Cool, thx [05:03] charas why would you want to install both? [05:04] Flare183: ok, but does it need X running? [05:04] What do I do to install a package that is dependant on a package that is dependent on the first package, on a computer with no internet? [05:04] I am fine with having it installed [05:04] Tashia, it could because every laptop has a way to disable the wireless network card via a hardware switch or a key combination. And if it's disabled, then it might explain why it's showing up as 'eth1' instead of 'wlan0'. [05:04] I just don't want to run more than I need [05:04] rww, thank you - i like vi(m) . gedit is ok. [05:04] UnderSampled: I'm not sure [05:04] I dont see a switch [05:04] UnderSampled: in fact let me try it out, on my debian server [05:04] clavin12: sudo dpkg -i package1.deb package2.deb [05:04] vi? yucko [05:04] Tashia, what brand and model laptop? [05:04] sambagirl: I know right? xD [05:05] thanks, I'll try it [05:05] sambagirl, don't knock it till you've tried it [05:05] yuck [05:05] i have [05:05] sambagirl: Just wondering. I just got my first VPS and want to go freaky with it :) [05:05] chalcedony: I have :@ [05:05] derklempner, Fujitsu laptop [05:05] ahh i see charas [05:05] Tashia, model number? [05:05] Flare183, :) [05:05] Tashia, derklempner, did you check the kill switch ? [05:05] edwardteach, I was just telling her about that... [05:06] derklempner, Product number? [05:07] flare183 vi is evil [05:07] UnderSampled: give me a minute, I'm going to try this out on my debian server [05:07] Tashia, no, model number. Usually on the bottom of the computer, or maybe just near the keyboard or around the screen somewhere... [05:07] when watching longer flash videos (especially youtube), my laptop suddenly and instantly powers down. not a software shutdown, a hardware shutdown. what's going on? [05:07] Flare183: ok [05:07] sambagirl: I'm sorry, I'm an email fan [05:07] emacs* [05:07] Tashia: sudo dmidecode will help as well [05:07] ugh [05:08] Tashia, but give me the product number as well...

[05:18] chd, ubuntu uses gnome [05:18] oh [05:18] sam-_-: Yeah it's running, but no CPU usage [05:18] derklempner, S6210 [05:18] if so chipzzz they will do a onsite to replace video card and motherboard if they are individual devices. same number. [05:18] Samual: y. that's what i meant. [05:18] Tashia, okay now we're getting somewhere! [05:18] Samual: probably broken then [05:19] sam-_-: Oh yay :P [05:19] KM0201, Thanks, I didn't try that, I just reverted to the open source drivers & reboot occasionaly when it starts acting up... then it's ok for a day or two [05:19] Samual: unless. [05:19] sam-_-? [05:19] Samual: it doesn't get enough random data [05:19] sambagirl, no it's a mongrel... parts from Newegg & Tigerdirect, mostly [05:19] Chipzzz: i dunno, i believe ATI's website has a halfway decent driver, but I've never had to use it, just helped some download/install it... but Nvidia is way easier. [05:19] oh ok chipzzz. [05:20] sam-_-: Any way to fix it? [05:20] Samual: dunno: cat /dev/random is it doing anything? [05:20] rww, thanks that worked [05:20] sam-_-: Hmm no, I see nothing [05:21] Samual: wait a little while. [05:21] UnderSampled: pulseaudio requires x11 [05:21] sam-_-: Note: This is on a server through ssh, if that counts for anything [05:21] Debian server [05:21] KB0201, When I get ambitious about it, I'll probably save myself a lot of trouble and replace the board with a nVidia, but in the meanwhile, thanks for the info [05:21] Flare183: ok.... does it require X11 running? [05:21] Samual: should still work [05:21] UnderSampled: I'm not sure [05:21] how can i install .tar.gz extension in ubuntu [05:21] sam-_-: Alright, *waits* :P [05:22] Samual: if it takes more than 2 min. something is wrong [05:22] Oh, it outputted one thing [05:22] "pç0då^ª" [05:22] :P [05:22] Samual: well then it's just really really slow... [05:22] i need help to upgrade my ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu 10.10 [05:22] ankit88: tar -xmf name && cd untareddir && ./configure && make && make install [05:22] sam-_-: Any way to increase the speed? :X [05:23] Flare183: so, how do I get it set up? [05:23] Samual: for comparison. on my machine it outputs sth. every 5 seconds. [05:23] Tashia, look at the front edge of the laptop, all the way to the left. Do you see a switch there? [05:23] ankit88: there's also usually a README you can consult [05:23] Samual: roundabout [05:23] Samual: i have no idea what you can do about it though [05:23] sam-_-: Ah.... so I should basically just let it sit for several hours? :P [05:24] windowshasyou, did you 'sudo do-release-upgrade'? [05:24] Samual: if you have the time [05:24] derklempner, no i dont see it [05:24] sam-_-: *sigh* Alright :P Well, thanks.. i'll see if I can't find anything online about this [05:24] Chipzzz: Why would I? my distro is built on tar.bz2 stuff [05:24] Tashia, okay, hang on... [05:25] hello [05:25] hello [05:25] :) [05:25] windowshasyou, sorry...

[05:35] I'm trying to configure and make it so I can access my computer form another place [05:35] FloatingGoat, no need to do it that way... [05:35] ShapeShifter499: try team viewer :) [05:35] Its for a computer that i am not using its a computer that has windows 7 starter and i am trying to put Ubuntu 10.10 on it. But I found on that it should have worked but it didn't and it was for a flash drive [05:35] pepee: how? [05:36] FloatingGoat, also on my ipod [05:36] FloatingGoat, install it from your package manager, or use jockey-gtk [05:36] FloatingGoat, and teamviewer costs money on the ipod D; [05:36] well the better version with audio [05:36] I am experiencing an interesting and funny problem about my laptop's audio. Working very around during the last 2 months jeje. But first I will search the web deeper. I hope somebody can help me if I have no success. please. [05:36] how do i get it from the package manager? it doesnt show up in jockey like it did in 10.04 [05:37] Applications seem kind of big to me - I mean, they look large on the screen. For example, openoffice.org aps look like their at a lower resolution on Ubuntu than on Windows. Am I crazy? [05:37] Chipzzz you can see? [05:37] Its for a computer that i am not using its a computer that has windows 7 starter and i am trying to put Ubuntu 10.10 on it. But I found on that it should have worked but it didn't and it was for a flash drive [05:38] FloatingGoat, ok, do it without X. to install a package execute: sudo dpkg -i package.deb [05:38] where 'package' is the package name... [05:38] marcelo_, yes, do you have any packages with locked versions? [05:39] i guess not Chipzzz [05:39] how do i find a wireless printer? [05:39] Chipzzz i install ubuntu 9.04, and upgrade to 10.04.2 and now a want upgrade to 10.10 [05:39] FloatingGoat, if you don't want the X, just logout... [05:42] in System Monitor it has a "Virtual Memory" column with a bunch of values. when i turn off swap, all of those values are way more than zero, several hundred megabytes sometimes. if "Virtual Memory" isn't stuff in swap, what is it? [05:42] how do i configure cups? [05:42] !cups [05:42] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [05:43] hello all. so I stupidly upGRADED instead of upDATING.... and I've apparently time-traveled into April 2011 where i downloaded Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012. [05:43] marcelo_, did you try to update to the latest 10.04 packages before the upgrade? [05:43] And I'd like to go back.... without RTFM'ing anything, is there a qucik and simple way to revert these changes i just made? [05:43] hi , I can't seem to ping from my untuntu 10.04 box. However I can open firefox and browse the internet without any trouble. Any help getting ping (and other command line utils to access the network) [05:43] iasov: does the output of "lsb_release -a" in the terminal mention 'maverick' or 'natty'? [05:44] rww, well, it's maverick apparently. [05:44] Did I jump to conclusions? [05:44] iasov: there's a bug in the About Ubuntu box where it says 11.04 on 10.10 >.> [05:45] iasov: lsb_release's output is the correct version [05:45] Chipzzz yes, i did two ways of updating the packages before the upgrande and without update packages [05:45] Ahh... thank you rww. I am glad that you informed me of that before I panicked and did real damage. :P [05:47] hi.. i figured it out... lol what i was sayin before about the pulseaudio-equalizer.. after installationyou just have to restart. i would deff recommend it! thats al i wanted to say.. bye all! [05:48] I'm installing ubuntu 10.10 server on a new computer with two drives which I want to set up in software raid 1. I'm trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID but run into a problem where I can't set the bootable flag to on [05:48] marcelo-, The log says you are upadating from linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic, but the latest is 2.6.32.25 (line 37 of the log) [05:50] Am I doing something wrong? [05:51] wow [05:51] anyone awaken ? [05:52] Chipzzz when i click on check, nothing appears to upgrade === james is now known as Guest20204 === ron__ is now known as rbetzen [05:52] does anyone know what the command for hibernating in lucid is ? [05:52] pnorman: what happens when you try? [05:53] NOthing [05:53] It won't toggle from off to on [05:53] fool_: pm-hibernate. may need sudo, I forget. [05:53] Does laptop battery management still work without Gnome running?? Is there a command line, command, that i can use to check battery usage? [05:53] rww: i'm looking for the one w/o sudo [05:53] pnorman: are you sure it is a primary partition then? === cst05001_lunch is now known as cst05001 [05:54] fool_: i personally use dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Suspend [05:54] marcelo_, check your software sources... maybe something happened to them [05:54] fool_: that's for sleep though [05:55] sam-_-: It says SCSCI2 (0,0,0) (sdb) - 1.0 TB ATA Hitachi HSD72101 [05:55] chelz: just came across this http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813387&page=2 [05:55] lolz :) [05:55] #1 primary 988.8 GB ext4 [05:55] chelz: i think you're dead on [05:55] pnorman: and you are selecting the #1? [05:56] sam-_-: yes [05:56] fool_: it's always worked great for me. and i especially like using stuff that comes installed :) === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [05:56] pnorman: how did you try toggeling? [05:56] chelz: thanks [05:56] selecting Bootable flag: off and hitting enter [05:56] pnorman: space, +, o, etc.? [05:56] chelz: i'm gonna try to assign a kb shortcut to it now and try [05:57] fool_: alright. good luck. [05:57] hi [05:57] DCR] [05:57] IT then says computing the new state of the partition table (very briefly) and looks like it did before [05:57] dctv gh [05:57] всем привет [05:57] pnorman: maybe it's toggled in another way.

I could try skipping that step [05:58] pnorman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1407682 [05:58] chelz: do you know how to use Fn key in the keyboard shortcuts window ? [05:58] pnorman: sounds like you can safely ignore that step [05:59] fool_: with most keyboards, the OS never sees a signal from Fn. Fn modifies what signal the actual keyboard sends. [05:59] Chipzzz how i remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau? [05:59] i was told to 'redownload opera' i don't want to lose my settings.. how do i do this? [06:00] chelz: on my dell fn+f1 suspends. i would like to do fn+f2 to hibernate [06:00] Ah - thanks [06:00] chelz: currently fn+f2 does nothing. [06:00] any suggestion how i should do it ? [06:00] chalcedony, if you reinstall Opera over an existing version, it shouldn't eat your bookmarks and settings [06:00] fool_: check what you get out of fn+f2 as a signal. not sure how'd you'd run something when pressing it though [06:01] chalcedony, mind you, it's been at least a couple of years since I last used Opera. It didn't used to have any bad habits like that, though. [06:01] chelz: how would i check that ? [06:01] syslog ? [06:01] fool_: there is a program i forget the name of [06:02] marcelo_, it might be safer to reboot, hold down the shift key and bring the machine up with the failsafe video driver [06:03] fool_: xev [06:03] (the grub menu will give you that option) [06:03] huh. apparently my fn+f4 is set to make a new firefox window. wild. [06:03] chelz: no candidate found for xev [06:04] :( [06:04] chelz: i do see this is syslog though when i press fn+F2 : dell-wmi: Unknown key 22f pressed [06:04] fool_: x11-utils has xev [06:07] Madpilot, hmmm maybe there is a 'settings'folder that could be saved [06:07] chalcedony, .opera probably [06:08] chalcedony, UI settings used to be in opera6.ini, but that's likely changed. As I said, I'm about two years out of date WRT Opera. [06:08] stuff is usually in dotfiles or dotfolders in ~ or ~/.config [06:08] sometimes those weird .gnome2 and .gnome folders for gnome things [06:10] Hallo. New screenscaver/screen lock behavior: When I log in, I get my display for a second, then my screensaver locks me out again and I have to log in a second time. [06:14] i know how i got opera recently.. i moved my old opera to this drive and downloaded opera_11.00.1156_amd64.deb -- but to redownload that? [06:14] chalcedony: sure, do that [06:15] QUESTION:whenever i login as root at login window, settings like "system>preferences>sound" and system>administration>users and groups not working they kind of hangs on starting them never start and on opening sound setting it keep displaying "Waiting for sound system to respond" [06:15] Looks like I'm onto the next step of installation. Wish I had the drives to make this as a raid 10 array though [06:16] chelz: pm ? [06:16] fool_: eh rather not, it's quiet in here anyway [06:16] pnorman: you can shrink/grow some raid stuff, so you might be able to transition to another raid type once you get those drives [06:16] how remove a directory? [06:16] hi. has anyone suceeded in booting a boxee firmware in qemu? [06:16] chelz: Ya, from what I read it is possible but slow [06:17] thauriswulfa, why on earth have you enabled graphical root login? [06:17] chelz: do you know what this is Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power was not provided by any .service files [06:17] I found where I guy go the busybox. but no futher.

[06:17] chelz: From my fakeraid windows raid 1 -> raid 10 rebuild and watching the openstreetmap raid rebuild, I expect slow to be somewhat of an understatement [06:18] sorry wrong channel. [06:18] Madpilot: because i can't edit things on files system in other user accounts [06:19] My fakeraid wasn't too bad, but I think OSM has been migrating drives for over a month now [06:19] thauriswulfa, you do know about sudo, right?

They'll explain better than I can why graphical root login is Not Recommended. [06:20] madpilot: ok [06:20] marcelo_ rmdir [06:20] thauriswulfa, mostly the 1st URL, the RootSudo one. [06:21] madpilot: thanks a lot [06:21] can anyone here help with mutt?

[06:45] marcelo_, uname -a [06:46] i keep getting connection refused ... from what i can see the deluged is trying to use 127.0.0.1 insted of its ip address [06:47] Chipzzz this is my kernel, but dont see my version of ubuntu and bits this version [06:47] when i try to change the config files it still says port 58864 is listening on 127.0.0.1 === Shaded is now known as Aardvark [06:47] any way to permanently set the resolution with ATI proprietary drivers? it keeps resetting after reboot [06:48] jgcampbell300: output of sudo netstat -tulpen [06:48] jgcampbell300: post to pastebin [06:48] MikeChelen: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:49] jgcampbell300: I guess you didn't create user/password in deluged config file. I remember messing around with deluged. I use transmission currently. [06:51] OK, so. [06:51] mock on ubuntu doesn't work. there is a bug against it. [06:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mock/+bug/600564 [06:51] the work around listed in the bug report doesnt work [06:51] and i dont know anything about python. [06:51] Any ideas on how to get this working?

[06:53] !ati [06:53] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:54] cryptodira: maybe try: sudo aticonfig --initial [06:54] jgcampbell300: What command does that? I used lsof in the past for internet stuffs but yeah. I'm curious. :) [06:54] MikeChelen: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Monitor_settings here is an example [06:54] red2kic: pastbinit [06:55] sudo apt-get install pastbinit ... command | pastbinit [06:55] jgcampbell300: Configuration files generally are left alone in ~/. -- However, as for /etc/ -- It depends the options you included when removing/adding packages. [06:55] jgcampbell300: I mean the command, not pastebinit. [06:55] sam-_-: ah ok, in the screen section, let me try that [06:56] oh ... netstat -tulpen [06:56] MikeChelen, tried that...i get 'failed to create empty configuration file' [06:56] channel 1: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused thats the exact error im getting when i try to connect client to server [06:57] i just know its something easy im missing ... i set the same system up a few weeks ago on a diff computer .... but it was desktop running deluged not server [06:58] and there are 3 nic's in the server i thought that my be causing some confusion [06:59] jgcampbell300: I know transmission have /etc/default/* -- You sure the daemon is running? If you're using Ubuntu, then the daemon are likely to have its own username, not your username. [07:00] hi [07:01] ya its running [07:01] jgcampbell300: "ps -aux | grep deluge" -- What does it say? [07:02] http://pastebin.com/vDjYHPDZ [07:02] WIndows =] [07:04] jgcampbell300: You used "ps -aux" ? The output looks different. [07:04] oh ya sorry [07:04] hy [07:05] http://pastebin.com/u3E93Pi8 [07:05] good evening [07:06] good evening [07:06] jgcampbell300: Perfect. The problem is that the daemon is running/owned by username: deluge (first column). [07:06] cuapek [07:06] jgcampbell300: I imagine you can find the configuration file for deluge, maybe in /etc/default/deluge* or /etc/deluge* -- It depends, really. [07:09] jgcampbell300: One way is to run "dpkg -L $package" -- It'll list all files installed by the $package. This way, you can find out where the configuration file is. [07:09] hi [07:09] Hi. [07:10] ahhh .... very nice .... wish i would have thought about looking for that command sooner [07:10] jgcampbell300: You're learning. ;) [07:11] hardware drivers reports: ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver is activated and currently in use...Catalyst control center reports:No Ati graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly..... what are my options?? ... aticonfig fails to create the empty configuration file...can this be done manually?. [07:12] hey guys === taransvar is now known as franzce [07:13] how would i go about restarting that process ... would i kill 771 ? or is there a better way to get it to restart [07:13] jgcampbell300: "sudo service $daemon restart" [07:13] does anyone know how to setup spamassassin? [07:14] its realy very complicated [07:14] ahh cool [07:14] jgcampbell300: Run "ps -aux | grep deluge" -- See if it's still owned by deluge or you. [07:14] Sometimes it is very simple to fix -- By replacing username. This was my case in transmission. [07:15] ya still deluge and its not restarting [07:16] Are there any secure ubuntu/linux/whatever VMs out there (running viruses within it won't infect the computer) [07:16] ? [07:16] Meh. Paste dpkg -L thing. [07:16] jgcampbell300: ^^ [07:17] hmm [07:17] hopefully high-performance (not much of a speed difference between inside and outside), running on Windows. [07:17] http://pastebin.com/LPK9t1dK [07:18] isnt there a way to make pasebinit do the same address every time [07:20] jgcampbell300: No. Unique address for unique spam. You could look at pastebinit --help for some options. "cat /etc/init.d/delu" -- It should have some options. Change the username. [07:26] jgcampbell300: Progress? [07:26] think we may have it .. did a reboot becouse it wasnt reloading the daemon [07:26] jgcampbell300: Probably should had stopped the daemon first before any configuration occurs. :o [07:28] lol ya ... http://pastebin.com/tTUSmfvK [07:28] jgcampbell300: Useless information except 1000, but I guess it's working now?

[07:41] jgcampbell300: There probably are deluge channel if you really want to get deluge work. Yeah, you could do that too. [07:42] red2kic, you know of some super command to clean up my mess or sould i just uninstall and start cleaning ;) [07:42] red2kic: let me try [07:42] shai__: How about "ls -ld /etc/ssh" [07:43] red2kic: got this "Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)" [07:43] what to do now ? [07:43] jgcampbell300: There are no super command.

[07:45] red2kic: thanks , let me try once again [07:46] I "need" to get Devil's Pie configured properly. I'm attempting to set some rules for gnome-terminal, but I'm having difficulties with it. If anyone has experience with it? [07:46] hey guys [07:47] out of 200gb, 3gb taken for swap; how much should I allocate for /home, and how much for everything else? [07:47] shai__: Meh [07:48] red2kic: ? [07:48] shai__: "sudo aptitude purge openssh-server" -- That'll purge it. Then reinstall. See if the problem goes away. :\ [07:48] angelsl: It depends on how much stuff youre planning on installing vs how much data you might store in /home [07:49] red2kic: I won't have SSH to the machine if I do that :) It is a remote server... [07:49] jo-erlend: If I remember it correctly, there are an app (GUI) for that. [07:50] red2kic: How can I tell apt to ignore this upgrade request... so that I can install telnetd for a while and then telnet and remote the ssh server [07:50] shai__: Ah. [07:50] !pin | shai__ [07:50] shai__: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [07:51] shai__: You probably could skip installing that package? [07:51] /join #ubuntu-it [07:51] shai__: If it ask you -- Say no. [07:51] oops, sorry [07:51] red2kic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/557548/ [07:52] hello [07:52] my GTA SA still lags with wine on ubuntu when I make it full screen, I have kept the pixel shader and vertex shader off, searched a lot but still it lags. [07:52] soreau: well, right now my homedir is 31gb out of 36gb used by everything [07:52] so i'm going for 25gb rootfs, 3gb swap, 172gb home [07:52] angelsl: I would recommend not keeping a separate /home. You do *not* need a separate /home to be able to preserve /home when re-installing Ubuntu. [07:53] red2kic, using a GUI doesn't simplify at all. [07:53] so I always have to emulate virtual desktop to 800x600 or 900x800 [07:53] I am using ubuntu 10.10. Due to some reason my WiFi is disabled. How can i enable it. I tried it using Network Manager but couldn't succeed [07:53] Jordan_U: ubuntu may not be the only distro i will use [07:53] if ubuntu proves to branch off from something I like, i'll move to debian, or even something else [07:54] openSUSE, possibly? [07:54] anyone could ever run windows game without lag with wine on ubuntu? [07:54] angelsl: You should use external or separate hard drive for your personal file -- Keep it separate from your main system. [07:54] especially GTA AS [07:54] red2kic: i only have one hdd [07:55] unless you'd like to sponsor me one? [07:55] shai__: Well. Do what you have to. I think the openssh-server configuration will go wrong still. [07:55] angelsl: Its not a great idea to try and use the same /home directory across distributions [07:55] angelsl: I would not. Rip out your Xbox360's HDD if you have one. :) [07:55] soreau: i don't plan to use many distros at once, it's just when i eventually decide to leave Ubuntu [07:56] angelsl: In that case, just leave it all as one partition and cp /home if/when that time comes === sre-su is now known as Janes147 [07:56] hi~everybody [07:57] Another reason to prefer a separate /home is for easier backups... [07:57] jo-erlend: Do you use compiz? [07:57] red2kic, yes. === Janes147 is now known as sre-su [07:57] red2kic, well, mostly. Not all the time. [07:57] anybody is chinese?

There are "Windows Rules" plugin. It's similar to devilspie, I would imagine. http://wiki.compiz.org/WindowMatching [07:58] jo-erlend: Good luck. :) [07:58] red2kic, I've used that. It isn't sufficient. [07:58] red2kic: so odd! http://paste.ubuntu.com/557550/ [07:58] I can't even move it ... [07:59] OH..thankyou [07:59] shai__: You used chattr? [08:00] Not that I recall [08:01] red2kic: I just did "chattr -R +i /etc/ssh" but that didn't help ... [08:01] shai__: Try to connect with telnet so you can work with your issues. [08:01] red2kic: http://paste.ubuntu.com/557551/ [08:02] red2kic: already am :) [08:02] I'm doing all this via telnet ... [08:02] shai__: Ah. Stop the daemon. [08:02] shai__: And "chown -R root:root /etc/ssh" -- See if that did the trick. [08:03] Hi, why would a debian 507 amd64 netinst iso and a debian 508 amd64 businesscard iso ask for CDROM? I'm stuck in this installation step [08:03] shai__: why did you use +i instead of -i ? [08:03] red2kic: Nope. http://paste.ubuntu.com/557552/ [08:04] There was a /usr/sbin/sshd process, but I killed it and it still won't work.. [08:05] shai__: Loshki is right. You gave it immunity. :P "chattr -R -i /etc/ssh" to undo. [08:06] red2kic: success! [08:06] shai__: Everything is working again? [08:07] hey guys... i used to have internet which ddin't require username and p/w and ubuntu would connect fine. New internet connection needs username and p/w (cable internet) and though windows 7 connects fine with a single click Ubuntu network mananager requires me to literally click around tp 10 times to connect to work.. what is the problem you think? [08:07] Hi All, I am running Ununtu 10 Netbook edition and would like to "Map a network drive". Can someone let me know how to do this so the next time i log in, it's already there on my desktop. [08:07] !fstab | Raymond [08:07] Raymond: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [08:08] OK, thanks. [08:08] hi all, I'm fiddling around with bash scripts, went into super user mode in the script, how do I downgrade back to the regular user? [08:08] I'm trying to run sh scripts from a thumbdrive, it returns permission denied if I run them [08:09] red2kic: yes :) It was indeed chattr that I guess I had set at some point due to some Amazon EC2 changes that effect that directory when an instance is taken down... and you were right to point me to using -i and not +i on chattr. Thanks for the great support dude :) appreciate it a lot! [08:09] that's why I spawn them with sudo and gksudo, the reason is NTFS partition... weird... any ideas how I can tidy things up? [08:09] hello all, i have a very peculiar problem... My ubuntu 10.10 installation causes my screen to flicker... so going to hell and back, i tried ubuntu 11 alpha out from a live usb and my screen didnt flicker! but trying to install it failed... so now im re-installing ubuntu 10.10 and even right now, as its installing, the screen flickers... what does this mean? [08:10] shai__: No problem. [08:10] twiztid: it means to try 10.04 which seems to be much more stable... [08:10] shai__: I'm glad to help you out. Now you can move on. :) [08:10] ...i would naturally assume a problem with my downloaded .iso of 10.10 but the weird thing is i used the exact same .iso to install 10.10 on my laptop and it doesnt flicker [08:10] help installing osx-Leopard theme. downloaded the theme from gnome-look.org when i go to system>prefrences>appearance>install i get an error saying "the was an error installing the selected file osx-leopard does not appear to be a vaild theme" HELP anyone [08:11] zach32: Buy a Macbook. :O [08:11] zach32: Maybe the theme you downloaded isn't for Gnome. Is it at least gtk2?

(can I have a menu controller too or do I have to fast forward to get to the next one?) [08:12] Hi all, I'm looking for a fellow wubi user, I need to know the exact directory structure that your C:\ubuntu\ directory contains please [08:12] <-- wants to copy a dvd to HD -- HOW? [08:12] Gnea, it's not there. I can explain. [08:12] hey guys... i used to have internet which ddin't require username and p/w and ubuntu would connect fine. New internet connection needs username and p/w (cable internet) and though windows 7 connects fine with a single click Ubuntu network mananager requires me to literally click around tp 10 times to connect to work.. what is the problem you think [08:12] tripelb: devede-3.16.9-2 can convert AVI to DVD. [08:12] tripelb: it would be preferred if you didn't toy with my request. [08:12] gnea sadly you can ONLY get to your WUBI with you BOOT in that wubi. ONLY(sic) sadly (sic) [08:13] gnea, I am not toying. [08:13] loshki: ...ok, well i really love 10.10 and have no problems with it on my laptop, but the weird thing is when i run 11 from live usb, it dont flicker... [08:13] gnea, what you have stored in there does not exist from a windows perspective [08:13] tripelb: I asked for constructive help, not banter. [08:13] good luck [08:13] tripelb: there is much you assume. [08:13] gtk2? i just went to gnome-look.org and downloaded http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Mac+OSX+Leopard+10.5+Full+pack?content=72425 [08:13] im just so stumped that i flickers WHILE its installing even [08:14] gnea, I've used wubi and that is what I discovered. Perhaps someon else has more that can help you. [08:14] again, I just need to know what your directory structure of c:\ubuntu\ consists of [08:14] tripelb: it is possible, yes, that someone else might understand what it is I'm asking for without jumping to an incorrect conclusion. [08:15] basically, I had to run chkdsk /r and it recovered a directory into c:\found.000\dir0000.chk\ but I have no idea where it belongs, and Ubuntu simply will not boot ever since. [08:16] if I knew someone's working directory structure, I might be able to fix it [08:16] red2kic, am googling devede-3.16.9-2 [08:16] guys.... can someone help me with the network issue I asked before? [08:16] ---> why does ubuntu 11 have no flickering problem? is it using a newer kernel? and if thats the case how could i go about updating to a newer kernel... preferably one with drm_kms_helper.poll=0 support [08:16] !info devede [08:16] devede (source: devede): simple application to create Video DVDs.

[08:16] does anyone know how to setup smapassassin [08:16] ? [08:17] franzce: probably the people in #spamassassin [08:17] ok tnx [08:17] gnea: ok thank you for that, but i was simply troublshooting a 10.10 flicker problem and it turns out that 11 doesnt flicker at all... [08:17] zach32: Meh. Pick a different theme if the file won't work. The user set it up differently than he should have. Furthurmore, it's only a theme. You're recommended to install themes from packages. These are more clean and organized. I like shiki. "apt-cache search shiki" Try that. [08:18] gnea: so i figured it is a valid clue that even DURING install of 10.10, my screen flickers [08:18] twiztid: do you use a KVM? [08:18] twiztid: I experience flickers and to this day, I think it's my monitor or at least, DVI cable acting up. :( [08:18] but never once have i had 10.10 flicker on my laptop [08:18] gnea: what is KVM? [08:19] twiztid: it's a device that allows you to connect multiple computers together and control them all with a single keyboard, mouse and monitor [08:19] red2kic: hurmm... i thought the same thing but the weird part is 11 doesnt flicker [08:19] Gnea: no ones replying there [08:19] Gnea: tsk2. [08:19] gnea: ah ok, then no... tottally seperate [08:19] twiztid: You may assume too early. Just give it a week and see if that occurs. If not, then oh well, good for you then. :) [08:19] franzce: it's the kind of place that requires you to be patient and give as much up-front information as you can. [08:19] ahhhh [08:19] whats the difference between GDM and GTK i downloaded a GDM theme [08:20] Gnea: tnx again.. [08:20] red2kic: its been ever since 10.10 came out [08:20] franzce: good luck [08:20] zach32: GDM is for login. GTK2 is theme stuffs. toolkit. [08:21] could network issues happen with default ubuntu instal? can an update help? [08:21] thx [08:21] gnea (FYI - my hard drive with wubi is not on the computer at this time so I cant look) [08:21] zach32: GDM --> http://geubuntu.wikispaces.com/file/view/gdm.jpg/31941005/gdm.jpg [08:21] tripelb: no problem [08:21] GD1000u: it's possible [08:21] gnea: someone suggested using drm_kms_helper.poll=0 as a workaround to stop flickering, but they said my kernel was too old and doesnt support it... but as far as i knew, i was using the latest kernel for 10.10... so how could i utilize that workaround? [08:22] zach32: Its responsilibity is nothing more than graphical login. GTk2 is what GNOME Apps use. Windows, border, icons, etc. GTK3 is coming. :) [08:22] could network issues happen with default ubuntu instal? can an update help? my internet download has almost run out and that's why i got to make sure wats the best update to use if this is the case [08:22] twiztid: either by using it at boottime or editting your grub.cfg and adding it to the kernel line there [08:22] k [08:22] k [08:22] k [08:22] starkiller_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:22] Gnea, so any tips how i can find network related updates gnea? [08:23] sorry accident [08:23] GD1000u: Network issues can happen at or before ubuntu installation, mostly with wifi. Are you still running LiveCD, that seems like it. [08:23] GD1000u: how does your download "run out"? are you limited as to how much bandwidth you can use per month? [08:23] red2kic, not at all... it's a proper install.. Just haven't installed any updates yet because of my little limttied download running out.. got to wait till a week more until I can fully update [08:24] Gnea: gnea [08:24] Gnea: do you know about ip tables? [08:24] Gnea: The output of "find /mnt/ubuntu" on a machine with wubi: http://pastebin.com/3pByFyS4 [08:24] franzce: just ask your question [08:24] being from india... speeds are not that great.. 2MBPS gives you unlimited.. I am using 4mbps for 20GB limited Gnea [08:24] gnea: ok, ill try that... (even though i was told my kernel dont support it) one last question::: why do you suppose ubuntu 11 doesnt flicker? whats different between the two, besides the fact that its alpha [08:24] GD1000u: Oh. Bandwidth Limitation. Meh. Ubuntu will be fine if you updated or not -- but do update your system whenever you can. You might want to consider using LTS in the future if you really can't download much. [08:25] !virtual image [08:25] Jordan_U: thank you :) [08:25] Gnea: Why do you want to know the directory structure? [08:25] Gnea: You're welcome. [08:25] !virtual | Datz [08:25] Datz: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [08:25] is nanny working correctly on 10.10? it doesn't prevent a user to log in as it should [08:26] is there a special version of ubuntu server for virtual installs? [08:26] Jordan_U: because something's foobared on my wubi install and it won't even boot grub, something's stuck in c:\found.000\chk0000.dsk\ and I can't identify it [08:26] I thought there was [08:26] well... red2kic the 6months version would be fine.. after all.. just a 2GB usage for the whole system to get updated in a month.. 18GB still left for me :P it's just that my lil bro finished up the dl's without me k nowing.. as of now. what bugs me is having to click 'connect' 20times everytime i start my pc to just do normal browsing [08:26] GD1000u: You're on wifi? [08:26] nope.. wired internet from cable tv guy [08:27] so it's a LAN wire from pc out to some common modem i assume [08:27] Gnea: What happens when you try to boot? Is the ubuntu directory on the same partition as "C:"? And how large is the found file? [08:27] GD1000u: Don't know. If you're not using Wifi, then it is not keyring. Some people dislike them. [08:27] I see "linux-image-2.6.32-27-virtual" kernel, but iso download anywhere [08:28] GD1000u: When I turn on my machine/laptop, I don't have to do anything. What is this "Connect" button you're talking about? Can you send screenshot? [08:29] Jordan_U: the found file is a directory.... it looks like nothing is amiss... when I boot, NTLDR comes up like normal, when I choose Ubuntu, it's supposed to present me with the grub menu, but it never does, instead flashing an error message that I canNOT pause the system at in order to fully read it, and it goes back to the NTLDR menu [08:29] well.. basically red2kic when i right lcick on NETWORK CONNECTIONS and EDIT CONNECTIONS the first tab WIRED with the default setting doesn't work. I have to add anew coonection in the DSL tab with my uername and p.w and service name.. and that connection works sometimes on first try but most times aftert rying for loads and loads of times [08:29] i have no such problem with that username and pw/ on windows 7 [08:30] I want to copy a DVD onto my hard drive. How do I do that? ((then I will want to find the video file and change it to something else, maybe smaller in .avi) [08:31] I have a really strange problem on my ubuntu work PC. When I come back to work on a monday morning I can't login via the lockscreen. I have to click "Switch user", click my username and log in that way. And then until I reboot I have to keep doing that whenever I lock my workstaton [08:31] tripelb mount it mount -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/mount [08:31] Any ideas? Note: it only happens over the weekend. It could be weekend-related or the fact it's the only time my workstation is locked for more than 24hrs [08:32] GD1000u: You want India channel. I can't help. :\ [08:32] hey i have installed nmap but i cant find it help me [08:33] dean__: Can you confirm that keyboard input is working correctly at the lock screen by leaving yourself a note? [08:33] iflema -- I dont understand. Isn't a dvd mounted when I put it in the dvd drive? [08:33] what's india channel got to do with this red2kic ? sh o uldn't it be the same technology all over if cable guys try to connect in third world countries? :P [08:33] tripelb: Devede does not do the job? [08:33] dean__: What exactly does happen when you try to unlock the screen normally? [08:33] Jordan_U, I can indeed. [08:33] It says incorrect password Jordan_U [08:33] please could someone give me some suggestions as to why ubuntu 10.10 flickers on my pc and not on my laptop, and ubuntu 11 doesn't? ubuntu 10.10 even flickers while installing... ubuntu 11, never flickerd and 10.10 is flawless and no flickering on my laptop... very weird [08:33] keyboard layout is 100% right though. I've tried the leave note trick :) [08:33] red2kic, I am just trying to install devede to make the avi file into a dvd. will it also copy a dvd to the hard drive? [08:34] or... is it that there is anoher softwaer apart form the default network manager to connect better to networks? [08:34] red2kic, can I put more than one avi file on the dvd? [08:34] GD1000u: Different experiences. :) Not everybody are using the same technology. What you speak of -- I never had to deal with that. :P [08:34] hel pme [08:34] please [08:34] !ask | juniour [08:34] juniour: 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. :-) [08:34] !helpme | juniour [08:34] juniour: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [08:35] tripelb: dvdbackup can back up the dvd to the hard drive. If you wish to convert it to something smaller, check out handbrake or ogmrip. That's just for starters. [08:35] Can Avahi do what Samba does? [08:35] well.. i to never had any problem red2kic with my previous provider because it was automatic login.. the moment the system started. this provider is local cable guy.. needs login [08:35] shubbar: what do you mean? [08:35] red2kic, when I tried to download devede from the webpage I got a message that there is n older version in a repository and that would be better supported. Should I install the deb from the webpage or go look for the older version. [08:35] i have installed nmap but i cant find where it has been installed [08:35] juniour: nmap is a terminal based application. [08:35] !terminal | juniour [08:35] juniour: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [08:35] i want to make a file and print server [08:35] red2kic, I go look for dvd backup [08:36] shubbar: and what leads you to think that avahi has anything to do with it? [08:36] Gnea, file and printer sharing with ubunt and windows pc [08:36] i have a question, i want to do 3-Model-joint-query, can i do it cakephp way? or i can just use $this->query()? say i have 3 models of Place, Shop, Icon. And Place hasmany shops, shop belongsToAndHasMany icons [08:36] jordan-U how to use that [08:36] Gnea, so what is Avahi? [08:36] tripelb: I don't regularly use devede but I remember putting many avi as i can on one single dvd for my brother or such. So I know it can deal with many avis. As for older or newer version, it's your call. What works for me in the past can work for you presently. Check ppa or getdeb if you want newer version,. [08:37] shachaf: it's more dns related [08:37] er [08:37] shubbar: it's more dns related [08:37] tripelb: dvdbackup is commandline. I know brasero can do the job of 1-on-1 copy. [08:37] red2kic, do you konw any proper guide to setup internet on ubuntu? [08:38] jordan_U how to use nmap [08:38] Gnea, so I need samba and not avahi, or does avahi simplifies the network connections? [08:38] juniour: open a terminal and type: man nmap [08:38] GD1000u: My Internet is different than your Internet. I only have to plug stuffs in and that's it. Thanks to DHCP. [08:39] shubbar: avahi is just a standard daemon that the system uses, it's sort of like an auto-registry for network daemons, so just forget about avahi and concentrate on samba [08:39] yea... that's why i wonder.. is there proper documentation to set up various kinds of net on ubuntu somewhere? [08:39] i tried googling without sucess [08:39] red2kic, I have copied all of your good advice into a notes file and will continue to follow it up tomorrow. Thank you so much. [08:39] Gnea, thanks [08:39] good night gnea, and good luck [08:39] ...im not trying to bug, but it seems that the fact 10.10 flickers on pc and not my laptop AND that ubuntu 11 doesnt flicker on my pc, is a genuine clue as to what may be going on differently within it on my pc. What does ubuntu 11 do differently to not flicker on my pc, that i could check or change for ubuntu 10.10??? [08:39] There was a recent security patch for Adobe Flash. Unfortunately, I cannot find a 64-bit version available on http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect Am I simply out of luck and most keep myself vulnerable to exploitation? [08:40] tripelb: No problem. With dvdbackup, you're able to write a script that automagically do stuffs + notify ; convert if necessary. ;) [08:40] must* [08:40] tripelb: thanks, you too [08:40] Jon--, Because there isn't one [08:40] I just run the 32 bit version. [08:40] You can install the 32-bit version on Ubuntu 64-bit? [08:41] I doubt that. [08:41] sure [08:41] juniour: What is your end goal? If you are not familiar with the basics of using the terminal then using nmap will be very difficult. [08:41] I have it installed right now, jon-- [08:41] I don't understand why you think it's not possible [08:41] Where can I find it in the repos? [08:41] syn-ack: Because it is like putting a car on the motorcycle? I don't know. :) [08:41] Jon-- install ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:42] Jon--: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit#How to make 32-bit application work on a 64-bit Operating System [08:42] Jon--, [08:42] Flash - Version: 10.1.102 [08:42] Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 [08:42] Name: Shockwave Flash [08:42] Version: 10.1 r102 [08:42] Priority: 0 [08:42] syn-ack: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:43] Im so sorry about that [08:43] copied MUCH more than I intended [08:43] Jordan_U: this is driving me mad - I checked and everything is where it should be [08:44] syn-ack: I hate iced tea and I don't want to have to get around it. How do I get the newest 32-bit flash without doing ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [08:44] I've gone through dozens of howtos on ubuntuforums and elsewhere to figure out what steps to take when wubi doesn't boot at all [08:45] Jon--, just install flash then [08:45] for found.000, it says to restore them [08:45] but there's nothign to restore [08:45] jon-- something like "adobeflash" [08:45] ubuntu 10.10 on pc (native and live) = flicker; ubuntu 10.10 on laptop (native) = no flicker; ubuntu 11 on pc (live) = no flicker... i hope that makes more sense [08:45] Jon--, search for it with synaptic [08:47] Gnea: I can walk you through booting a wubi install manually from GRUB2 (installed on a flash drive or Super GRUB2 Disk CD). [08:47] ok having huge problems with NTFS partition and permissions [08:47] twiztid: You can read release notes -- but that may not be much. Could be kernel. Lot of bugs get fixed over time. [08:47] trying to run a .sh bash script and it says permissions denied.... [08:47] I cannot run the script with sudo because it screws things up. [08:48] stealthc, that's because linux can't set the execute bit and NTFS doesn't recognise UNIX file perms [08:48] Jordan_U: perhaps tomorrow, I'm just too tired to keep up at this point [08:48] stealthc: bash /path/to/script.sh [08:48] red2kic: thank you! ok, would it be wise to run the ubuntu 11 kernel in ubuntu 10.10 on my pc? [08:48] twiztid, no [08:48] !notes | twiztid [08:48] twiztid: Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) release notes can be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1010 [08:49] Jordan_U: thanks for the offer, if you'll take a raincheck I can be on later [08:49] twiztid, wait till thing's stabilise with it before running the backport. imo, of course. [08:49] how do I search through my installed packages? [08:49] twiztid: Best to get on launchpad and start hunting down your bugs -- Find descriptions that matched you -- and see if you have similiar cards, etc. [08:50] Gnea: OK. The next release of Super GRUB2 Disk will have an option to boot Wubi installs automatically, and should be released within the next week or so (whenever GRUB 1.99 is released). [08:50] syn-ack: have you heard much about the polling options? someone here told me a few weeks ago to try the drm_kms_helper.poll=0 workaround to troubleshoot the flickering, but then went on to say my kernel doesnt support it... =/ [08:50] Gnea: Then you won't need to do it manually :) [08:51] red2kic: thank you i think ill just go ahead and try filling a new bug... [08:51] has anyone tried ubuntu 10.10 desktop on new macbook air 11.6 [08:51] having graphic card problem [08:51] twiztid: Okay. :) [08:51] twiztid, I would suggest doing what red2kic suggested since I cannot recommend running the backport, however I have heard of it [08:51] plz anyone suggest [08:52] what to do [08:53] anyone plz? [08:53] Hi does anyone on here happen to know if Ultimate edition has a IRC cahnnel? [08:53] hello [08:53] hi [08:53] any engineers in the room? [08:54] anybody having graphic card resolution issue while installing Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop on MacBook Air 11.6 ? [08:54] syn-ack: ok thn sounds good, maybe ill be of some valuable information hence the flickering is basically isolated to one machine and disto... would it hurt to just t r y the polling option? and if so, where exactly do i put it? [08:55] what turns 90 degrees, with a spring snapping to the center, and locking after each full turn? [08:55] hi, where exactly can i switch off the sreensaver? every time i watch a video on youtube ubuntu thinks im idle and i get a black screen moreover i have to type password. id like to turn that off [08:55] you do know that this is a ubuntu support channel, null-ngon ? [08:55] chiotte mec [08:56] ah [08:56] wrong channel [08:56] O.o [08:57] twiztid, Really, I can't give any support on that since it's out of line [08:57] doug_: You are the pioneer. Report your issues and write them down on wiki. [08:58] syn-ack: ok then well thank you anyway... much appreciated [08:58] anybody having graphic card resolution issue while installing Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop on MacBook Air 11.6 ? [08:58] red2kic: thank you too! late === syn-ack is now known as Guest69949 [09:00] bonjour tous le monde [09:01] I have a question conerning the graphics for ubuntu 10.04. I installed ultimate edition 2.6 and love the theme. My only complaint is when the theme is on I can't see drop down bar selectors for websites until i click on them. Look here to see what I mean> http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9972/screenshot1fj.png [09:02] Does anyone have a work around to make it display the text so i don't have to keep clicking bars to see what I select in the bars? [09:02] hi [09:03] i have a command here that should create raid 1: sudo mdadm /dev/md0 --create --auto yes -l raid1 -n 2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc [09:03] sarge1221: Pick a different theme or modifiy your theme. Ultimate Edition 2.7 came out too. That being said, you should just use Ubuntu. Rly. :) === bigbrother is now known as BigBrother === BigBrother is now known as BigBrother_IWY [09:03] but it says: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=kHeRFSfS [09:04] sarge1221: Look in ~/.themes or /usr/share/themes/ and copy them -- Make new theme. Modify. You just have to find where. :\ [09:06] red2kic, Thanks. [09:07] sarge1221: No problem. I did that for my theme. Loved everything but bold on Applications,Places,System. [09:08] hi, anybody knows how I can read my rss feed with differents computer and keep it sync ? more or less like imap do, I read a feed in one computer and it's mark as read and the other computers ? thanks [09:09] macsim: Use web-based RSS reader? [09:09] red2kic, in fact I prefer to not use google reader, netvibes etc... [09:09] macsim: Well, sync it using Dropbox or create a rsync script. [09:10] red2kic, ok I though about dropbox but I wonder if there is an other solution, I will try with dropbox so, thanks [09:10] Hi, Good morning where i can find an IRC dedied for Unix system [09:10] or ubuntu server [09:12] hello guys! i'm with Ubuntu 8.10. do you think if i try to update it many things will broke? i want to update, becase have many things to configure if i choose to install a fresh new ubuntu. can i go only with the updates? [09:13] macsim: I can imagine there will be some kind of clash if both apps are open -- so try not to do that. [09:13] hello [09:13] asfjio, upgrading to another version isn't going to be clean, so one has to assume some things won't work quite right.. [09:14] asfjio: You can copy the config files for most of the apps and your theme/appearance settings. There are hidden directories which keep keep such files in Home directory. Check it! [09:14] it's best to do a clean install of a new version? [09:14] asfjio: Upgrade ; Upgrade ; Upgrade ; Upgrade ; Upgrade ; What? That's crazy. Just back up /home/asfjio and /etc/ -- That's it. [09:15] i have a command here that should create raid 1: sudo mdadm /dev/md0 --create --auto yes -l raid1 -n 2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc [09:15] red2kic, ok in fact I want to sync it between my office computer, personal laptop and home computer [09:15] but it says: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=kHeRFSfS [09:15] asfjio: However, one can't be sure of whether those apps would be compatible with latest Ubuntu. But, you may still give a try. But yes, go for clean installation [09:15] macsim: Right now, I use Dropbox to sync my ~/bin -- It works fine for me so far. I never had tried Firefox or Thunderbird through that. Was worrying about corrupted database or similar. [09:16] red2kic, Any idea what folder items are causing me to not see the text? Would it be progressbar or possibly scroll bar? [09:16] anybody having graphic card resolution issue while installing Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop on MacBook Air 11.6 ? [09:16] red2kic, hum oki a mozilla sync like for liferea could be a killer app ;) [09:16] dnd yeah and? [09:16] umm when did 11.04 come out? [09:16] i installed 10.10 [09:16] install mdadm first [09:16] sudo apt-get install mdadm [09:17] how do i have 11.04? [09:17] then make the command === taransvar is now known as franzce [09:17] sarge1221: Not sure. I think you're looking at combobox. You want experts theme designers. Sometimes Appearances Preferences allows you change little things at a time. I remember there are a package for that but it's hard to use from my opinion. [09:17] , can u give me a quick advice please [09:17] macsim: I use Thunderbird for my mail + rss. :) [09:17] macsim: and calendar! [09:18] and then go to usr/share/mdadm and type mkconf >/etc/mdadm.conf [09:18] is there a motion wallpaper? [09:18] is it possible? [09:18] red2kic, I use it too for mail+calendar but I don't really like the rss in thunderbird [09:18] is there a command to see what version of ubuntu is installed? [09:18] ./mkconf >/etc/mdadm.conf [09:18] hi everyone, i have an IP camera which i can access through its' web interface and configure it to save still images when motion is detected to an ftp server etc. I have been able to get a video preview through vlc by accessing the camera's ip like this: http://192.168.1.100/videostream.cgi . The video stream is compressed in MJPEG according to vlc video properties menu. I want to save that video stream to a hd but i don't know how. Can [09:18] anyone help? [09:18] chaospsychex: lsb_release -a [09:18] chaospsychex, lsb_release -a [09:18] i rather to use the actual mdadm, i don't know if ubuntu has it in [09:19] i use a debian mdadm version 3.x [09:19] macsim: One less app, I suppose. Yeah. I don't like liferea at all. We're different. :) [09:19] is anybody here have ever installed backtrack? [09:19] Weird, I do too, chaos. [09:19] bradg: ? [09:19] cowo22_cari_ce, not a suitable question in this channel, ask in #backtrack-linux [09:19] guys, is possible that wallpaper can be motioned? [09:20] franzce: Change wallpaper every 30min? [09:20] it means you have to install the packet manually by getting into the debian archives and search for mdadm 3 [09:20] no [09:20] umm this is weird. lsb_release -a says i have 10.10 installed but if i click on 'about ubuntu' it says i am using 11.04 ? [09:20] i installed 10.10 [09:20] You are using Ubuntu 11.04 [09:20] - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012. [09:20] red2kic: i mean your wallpaper is moving [09:20] red2kic, yep ;) thanks for your advice anyway [09:20] red2kic: like a moving river [09:21] what the hell?! lol it's not even out yet [09:21] franzce: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/14/animated-wallpaper-with-compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu/ [09:21] red2kic: yes? [09:21] how can we be using it if it's not even out untill april [09:21] franzce: Yes, use compiz, I guess. [09:21] red2kic: is it possible? [09:21] red2kic: if i backup /etc/ i'm not sure i can just paste it then, right? [09:21] must be a glitch [09:21] It's just a typo, I'm sure. [09:21] animated wall... well i want animated graffittis in my village [09:21] franzce: It is already possible -- but not good idea -- You get distracted by lolol things. [09:22] franzce: You have to find a video then you play that through loop. [09:22] psycho_oreos: i have a postgres installed and importand databases. i should find where the files are staying in order to backup them, right? [09:23] red2kic: is there an guide on that in the net? [09:23] asfjio: I can suggest you to try https://launchpad.net/deja-dup [09:23] red2kic: why are you saying that is distracting? [09:24] asfjio: See if you have deja-dup in the repo. It'll take care of unncessary items and /etc/, $HOME too. [09:24] asfjio, I don't have any experience with postgres, but yes. I personally recommend backing up important files should the upgrade go astray or you are unhappy with the upgraded version [09:24] asfjio: You don't have to *plop* the files back in -- It's good to have backup, and yes, you can *plop* the files back in -- but newer versions mean newer configuration options. Keep that in mind [09:25] red2kic, I found the problem is under the controls preference. Only problem is that pretty much guts everything I like about the theme. XD [09:25] franzce: It's just my opinion. I'm entitled to that. I think it'll just hog your CPU. I find Firefox internet more fun than a trickling river. [09:26] red2kic: understand your point. [09:27] sarge1221: Try shiki theme. I like them. Maybe we have something in common. :) http://tinyurl.com/68us5t6 [09:28] Has anyone had any problems using PPTP VPN?

Looks way better then most I've seen. === petr is now known as auio === auio is now known as akpppo [09:31] sarge1221: Btw, Ultimate Ubuntu Edition is... not that great at all. It's just lot of extra packages installed -- More than you need them, probably. [09:31] red2kic, psycho_oreos, h-dee: thank you for your time. by the way how much time approximately the installation will took? [09:32] red2kic, I really only liked it because its easy on the eyes compared to most of those bright bleach white colored themes.

[09:32] asfjio, it varies, depending on your connection speed, the latency between you and the ubuntu repository, your computer and notably hard drive speed [09:33] asfjio: Well on a speedy system...arnd 15-20 mins or so. [09:33] asfjio: As long as it need to take. It varies for every person. Download speed. How good are you with linux? Some people have scripts that automagically set up everything. === anomie is now known as Guest97241 [09:36] anyone who knows a console app to display current joystick positions!? [09:37] psycho_oreos, h-dee, red2kic: not so good with linux. anyway i also want to install some lightweight window manager, do you have suggestions on something different from gnome and is it possible. the problem is that the machine is not new and is a bit slow. thats the reason.

O_O [09:38] intel 865G drivers not working in ubuntu 10.04, geting pixlet while playing videos, any solution ? [09:38] sarge1221: Sure, you can download that. If it said GTk2 -- then yes, you can download Cobra. [09:38] red2kic, will that run on 10.04? [09:39] 3d acceleration not working with intel 865G chipset, any solutions ? [09:39] seems there is no solution to install Ubuntu on Macbook 11.7 [09:39] 11.6 [09:39] sarge1221: That's irrelevant -- but yes, Gnome uses gtk2. [09:39] noone knows an answer [09:40] hi everybody! i just set a host in /etc/hosts for virtualhosts with apache for web development. i can ping the host but when i try it with firefox it doesn't work, it seems to look at the dns server and not at my host-file. what do i do wrong? [09:40] psycho_oreos: what is the difference between l/x ubuntu-desktop? please, excuse my ignorance. [09:40] doug_: What issues are you having exactly? [09:41] Red2kic - this is video resolution issue [09:41] i can show on youtube [09:41] asfjio, different User Interface, just the structures is different, xfce is a little like a cut down version of gnome whereas lxde is much like a leaner version of kde (some rumours say that its like kde 2.x) [09:41] asfjio: Ubuntu uses GNOME. Lubuntu uses LXDE. Kubuntu uses KDE. [09:41] doug_: Sure. [09:41] Anyone know how I can fix my ubuntu install?

I was referring to themes. You can use gtk2 themes on Gnome because Gnome use gtk2. So basically, cobra gtk2 will work just fine with hardy. UE2.4 -- Seems like older versions so you could be update everything and roll back to now.

[09:50] red2kic, yeah I get the part about the gui customizations. I just wanted 2.4 if it was possible to install a 9.10 base in a 10.04 base. I'm assuming it is no longer possible due to certain changes in versions. in that case i'll try cobra since he seems close to what i am looking for.

[10:08] and i'm new to Linux as well [10:08] CJack: hmm, I am not an expert here but let me see if I can find something on that. [10:08] doug_: You mean you added 'nomodeset' during the livecd before you install it? [10:09] Yes, otherwise even install wizard screen was all messed [10:09] sarge1221: You don't really have an issue. You're complaning about this little thing which can be easily solved with some decent dark theme. You have visual issues if you don't mind my asking? [10:09] is there any command to switch to nomodeset now from terminal? [10:10] CJack: you got the nvidea propritery drivers installed? [10:10] doug_: That is it. Your solution right there. You ran it. You just need to add nomodeset to your kernel at startup and edit grub to make it permanent. [10:10] doug_: You added it for livecd, but not for installation. :) [10:10] Thank you [10:10] red2kic: that doesn't always work, I tried it and got nothing [10:10] ajmal: your welcome [10:11] red2kic: following the dependencies I got to python-apt, where it just says "python-apt : Depends: libapt-inst-libc6.10-6-1.1" [10:11] taos, yea, one guy said that my graphic card is too old [10:11] please advice what do to [10:11] taos: grub2?

Is it a file in /etc/dron.d or a user crontab? [10:33] Can someone recommend an article about the limitations (deficiencies) of the SQL Database Browser program »sqlitebrowser«? [10:34] red2kic: can i upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 later? [10:34] schnuffle I guess its a crontab was created via "crontab -e" [10:34] doug_: You can upgrade. I hate upgrading. The true linux distro does not have versions. [10:35] Nedd help with graphic drivers [10:35] doug_: I'm on Arch -- but I like helping people out. I suppose you could install 10.10 and do the same thing -- Just had to append nomodeset. [10:35] ShapeShifter499: Okay, I'm not sure about a user crontab, but I think reboot task will better work in a cron file placed in /etc/cron.d [10:36] red2kic: i'll install 10.10 most likely... just wondering if i can have my wireless and graphic card drivers to install from where i am now [10:37] i'm having issues with networkmanagers dispatcher.d, I can't get it to run my script. perms are 755, it's a reg file, not writeable by group or other, it's executable, it has 99 at it's start and is owned by root. it has /bin/touch /home/marsh/xxx but the file is not appearing. can anyone help me out with a pointer?

Is this true and whats the best way to get around this when compiling libraries? [10:38] ShapeShifter499: Create a new file in /etc/cron.d, name is as you like [10:39] schnuffle, does it matter about file permissions?

Right? :) [10:44] ShapeShifter499: that is done with activating the service, either creating symlinks in the /etc/rcx.d dirs or using a tool like sysv-rc-conf [10:44] need help with nvidia, lost sreen. [10:44] red2kic: no, 120 [10:44] schnuffle, icecast starts than darkice starts and sends computer audio to the internet so I can get audio when I control my computer via vnc === aknm is now known as monk [10:45] schnuffle, darkice needs icecast running to work [10:45] schnuffle, both need sudo to work [10:45] root [10:45] * [10:46] red2kic: what is the way to install graphic driver now so it doesn't boot with nomodeset [10:46] doug_: Check Additional Drivers to see if there are nvidia binary you could use.

[10:47] doug_: http://tinyurl.com/4jbkkoe [10:47] *then [10:48] schnuffle, I want these services to run at login as root [10:49] ShapeShifter499: Only when root logs in? Then create entries in /root/.bashrc, that gets called after each login [10:49] red2kic: thx will follow [10:49] schnuffle, no when I login [10:52] Need help [10:52] ShapeShifter499: I would do it the following way: Activate both services, first icecast than darkice during the boot process. Would that be all right for you, or do you only want it to run, when you login? [10:53] bazhang: are u there? [10:53] bazhang: hi [10:53] mohanohi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

This is pretty common. With translations of graphic drivers. [10:54] at console i type startx and can boot to root [10:54] schnuffle, I've tried to run these commands in rc.local but it won't work [10:54] but i want my login screen back and my users [10:54] what is not loading that should be..

[10:56] wmorri: 2 days back [10:56] ShapeShifter499: sudo sysv-rc-conf, then you activate the ervices [10:56] maybe [10:56] doug_: It is not always that simple. Nothing is on/off. It's full of switches. [10:57] mohanohi: try running sudo apt-get update and then see if you are able to isntall anything. [10:57] schnuffle, haha aptitude isn't installed [10:57] ...is there issues with nm-dispatcher not running scripts? i've checked all perms as in nm docs, have priority of 99 in fname, but script doesn't run. does anyone know why, is this dispatcher or me? [10:57] schnuffle, I'll use apt-get [10:57] hateball: i have a seporate partition im using.. will that affect the result of that command [10:57] tristan3199: you can be logged in as your normal user, but then you use "sudo" [10:57] red2kic: ok will finalize 10.10 install now and see if nvidia driver appears under drivers [10:57] ShapeShifter499: take apt-ge :)t [10:57] wmorri: nope same prob [10:58] doug_: The whole point of buying a Mac so you don't have to do anything. Lot of things are locked down beyond stupidity. :) [10:58] i have three partitions.. one my main. one for storage, and one backtrack4, im using backtrack4 now [10:58] tristan3199: It will just restart GDM, the login manager [10:58] tristan3199: Maybe I didnt understand your problem [10:58] doug_: I do not mind buying one for myself -- but meh. Cost-wise. It's just silly. I was thinking. 17" laptop cheap. for 500. [10:58] schnuffle, ok now what?

[10:59] wmorri: any of the software [10:59] ShapeShifter499: sudo sysv-rc-conf, then search icecast and darkice and activate then [11:00] wmorri: i think i had screwed the OS while installing openshot software [11:00] red2kic: anyway... thanks for your help! i may log off shortly [11:00] red2kic: you've been very helpful!!

[11:27] wooter no [11:27] when I do 'aptitude remove' it seems to assume --purge-unused. how can I reconfigure or override that? [11:27] meltingwax: I'm casually suggesting to use packages that are in the repos, especially concidering that ruby isn't installed by default. :) [11:27] http://ompldr.org/vNzRubw [11:27] mohanohi: execute update-desktop-database and tell me if you get an error? [11:28] Pici: thanks for the tip. i wasn't aware of it, i'll use it in the future :) [11:28] Slydder : symbol lookup error: update-desktop-database: undefined symbol: g_option_context_new [11:28] ShapeShifter499: the number decides the about the order the scripts are started [11:28] thormentor: are you booting from the CD or not? your phrasing was kind of confusing [11:28] mohanohi: just a sec [11:29] tristan3199: checking it out [11:29] meltingwax: yes [11:29] Slydder : ok [11:29] ShapeShifter499: icecast and darkice where both S20 so started at the same time, which obviously doesn't work [11:29] thormentor: are you sure you are booting from the CD? if you are, it's absolutely not going to ask you for a password [11:29] schnuffle, what about k20? [11:29] meltingwax: yes I am [11:30] thormentor: can you describe the sequence of actions you make when you boot from the CD. what shows up? what do you click? [11:30] ShapeShifter499: Leave it as it is for the moment [11:30] mohanohi: you can try reinstalling destop-file-utils [11:31] when I do 'aptitude remove phpmyadmin' it seems to assume --purge-unused and wants to remove php5-gd, php5-mcrypt etc. how can I reconfigure or override that? [11:31] mohanohi: s/destop-file-utils/desktop-file-utils/ [11:31] schnuffle, ok [11:31] schnuffle, now reboot? [11:32] ShapeShifter499: Reboot or do a sudo init 1 and then a init 5 [11:32] Slydder : via apt-get ? [11:32] schnuffle, rebooting brb [11:32] meltingwax: the recovery blinks my screen at most [11:32] better would be directly with dpkg [11:32] but does allow me to access console to type startx [11:33] witch loads as user [11:33] "root" [11:33] meltingwax: they have restarted the pc from the installation cd; and the only thing that appeared after a wile is a windows asking for username and passwd [11:33] Slydder : http://pastebin.com/fn6xUcuy [11:33] thormentor: try user name root, password toor [11:34] hi [11:34] Slydder : i have manually deleted the package openshot by nautilus somehow [11:34] hi [11:34] Slydder : but its in database of dpkg [11:34] can anyone else take a look at tristan3199's dmesg output? i don't see anything http://ompldr.org/vNzRubw === EvilPete is now known as madPJKfan [11:34] still thats not ubuntu your loading.. where did you obtain your iso.. [11:34] dpkg --purge openshot [11:35] Slydder : subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 127 [11:35] thormentor, i agree with tristan3199, that's definately not ubuntu [11:35] schnuffle, still not working [11:35] hi - have installed doze 7 over the top of ubuntu 10.10 - trying to get the ubuntu to boot. Have install media on usb, and can get the console, just can remember the boot options to boot Linux anymore. [11:35] reinstall desktop-file-utils with dpkg [11:35] madPJKfan: do you have grub? [11:35] meltingwax: do you know what is read during the boot.. etc\fstab is first.. whats next.. or where do i find out whats next [11:35] ShapeShifter499: Hmm, does you have the darkice logs handy? [11:35] until that error is gone you will continue to have problems [11:36] schnuffle, don't know if there are any [11:36] how can I disable or change ctl d in the terminal [11:36] have grub, or the advanced options from the ubuntu install - can't I boot it with options there, and do my grub magic afterwards? [11:36] ShapeShifter499: And paste the /etc/init.d/darkice script [11:36] Meltingwax: have grub, or the advanced options from the ubuntu install - can't I boot it with options there, and do my grub magic afterwards? [11:36] tristan3199: maybe this will help? http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/boot.htm [11:36] ShapeShifter499: have a look at /var/log [11:37] madPJKfan: i would start by installing grub to the MBR so you can boot into your normal linux, then you can add windows the grub.conf [11:37] Slydder : cannot access archive: No such file or directory [11:38] madPJKfan: i can send you the command to install grub back onto the MBR [11:38] download the package from packages.ubuntu.com [11:38] meltingwax: that'd be good [11:38] mohanohi: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/desktop-file-utils [11:38] Slydder : ok.. [11:38] I am currently booted to a "try" session [11:38] mohanohi: that was karmic you have correct?

[11:39] Slydder : where to copy the package? [11:39] Slydder : so that dpkg recognises [11:40] doesn't matter. just save it somewhere in your home directory and then do a dpkg install [11:40] meltingwax: its step six... [11:40] schnuffle, here is init.d/darkice http://pastebin.com/Ef1Z0f7K [11:40] Hi all, is there a GUI that will allow me to set up shares on "Netbook v10.10" [11:40] Slydder : ok [11:40] you will need to be in the same directory or tell dpkg the exact location.

[11:46] shcherbak, its not chanign the folder colro [11:47] meltingwax: i added ubuntu tweek and messed with it before this problem...

[11:47] tristan3199: what did you tweek ?

[11:50] i really would just try agian from the same site... and you most likely wont get the same copy.. or i have a backup iso i could send you [11:50] ShapeShifter499: So right now if you do sudo /etc/init.d/darkice start it starts?

[12:45] pinoyoragon: ubuntu forums -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=702289 [12:46] but thats 2+ yrs old. :) [12:46] grub2 isnt letting me add windows using update-grub2 [12:46] pinoyoragon: thers also seems to be some bugs -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1465703 [12:46] Dr_Willis: thank you [12:47] thanks sipior and bazhang Im now installing handbrak-gtk [12:47] frold: enjoy! [12:47] What is the app in ubuntu to connect to terminal services? [12:48] I do not want to anger the moderators so can someone tell me if i am ok to ask for people's opinion on this channel? [12:48] shotty, polling in #ubuntu-bots [12:48] Yud_Zroc: the grub2 docs/wiki page and threads have some tips i recall on what to try if the grub scripts are not detecting windows. Or you could add your own windows entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom [12:48] bazhang ok, thanks for that [12:49] general chat (non-bot variety ) in #ubuntu-offtopic shotty [12:49] !opinion | shotty [12:49] shotty: 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. [12:49] Dr_Willis, i really dont understand the wiki im trying to use it...but there are 5 partitions i dont know how to add them manually [12:49] Hi folks [12:50] Yud_Zroc: you have 5 differnt windows installs? [12:50] Dr_Willis, no i have a windows MBR, windows part, ubuntu par, and a swap part [12:50] ok i lied....4 lol [12:51] Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/GLteJrwr [12:51] Yud_Zroc: so you only have 2 actual operating systems [12:52] Dr_Willis, correct [12:52] i cant boot into ubuntu with no issues....but windows......it will detect it and mount after i get into ubuntu...just the boot loader doesnt pick it up at all [12:53] as of right now im in the live CD trying to figure out how to fix it [12:53] Install os-prober [12:53] Yud_Zroc: so why are you on a live cd? [12:54] Yud_Zroc: boot to the ubuntu install, and try to tweak grub to show the windows install. [12:54] so in case i need to....to reinstall grub2 completly [12:54] Yud_Zroc: if you have a grub menu.. you dont. [12:54] Dr_Willis, i dont know how to add the windows bootloader manually [12:55] Yud_Zroc: one way -> d add your own windows entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom [12:55] how do i make a windows entry [12:55] Install and run os-prober, run it and then run update-grub [12:55] i can give it a try sagaci [12:55] os-probober should allready be installed.. its odd that its not seeing a windows install.. unless your windows is in some weird place. [12:55] Dr_Willis, ill try but i cant promice anything [12:55] what version of windows are you using, and where is it located at on the hd? [12:56] Dr_Willis, http://pastebin.com/GLteJrwr [12:56] im using windows 7 home ed 64 bit [12:57] hi! are there any well known problems with 5.1.49-1ubuntu8 bundled with 10.10 server? [12:57] hi how can i trigger gnome automount when i want ? i don't want it to always do it as soon as a usb device is plugged in i'd like it to happen when i want ? [12:57] Yud_Zroc: example /etc/grub.d/40_custom here --> and some other tips ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1346145 [12:57] cqixk_work: i think you meant to include a package name there... [12:58] mysql 5.1.49-1ubuntu8 for sure :-) [12:58] but i still want to use the command that gnome uses for automounting because it handles everything like figuring out which block device is the usb device and then creating the symlink on the desktop to the mounted usb device etc [12:58] Yud_Zroc: for windows 7 - sda2 is most likely your actual windows install. but you want to boot sda1. (its like a windows boot partition) UNLESS sda1 is actually a recovery-windows partition. [12:58] select * from foo where a=1 and b=2; returns 3 rows while - select a from foo where a=1 and b=2; return 0 [12:59] sda2 is windows [12:59] Yud_Zroc: and sda1 might be what you actually need to boot. You may need to try both. [12:59] sipior mysql 5.1.49 bundled with 10.10 server [13:00] sda1 is acutally that 100mb part it makes [13:00] i need an example ~/.vnc/xstartup to work with gnome desktop without keymap bug [13:00] Which firewall is good so that i can see incomming and outgoing log? [13:00] its labled system researved and has a bootable flag (the sda1 [13:01] stede: you have a command that fix's the bug? if so thats easy... [13:01] cqixk_work: i think there's a #mysql here on freenode. might try there first. [13:01] h [13:01] Dr_Willis, question would installing ubuntu as a logical drive cause a messup? [13:01] stede: 2 lines, 'whateverthecommandis &' then 2nd line 'exec gnome-session' [13:01] they don't want to support mysql packeged with ubuntu sipior [13:01] Yud_Zroc: shouldent matter [13:02] Dr_Willis: yeah for sure, but that don't fix the incorrect keymap ;) [13:02] ? [13:02] stede: if you dontknow the command to fix it.. i sure dont know it. :) [13:02] Dr_Willis: export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1 schpuld fix it but it dont [13:02] stede: i just know vnc. :) [13:02] stede: Hmm.. im not sure why it wouldent. [13:02] How do I qmake, make then sudo make install something? [13:02] Dr_Willis, so should i add windows boot loader to the grub or should i add the windows part (where windows is actually installed) [13:02] I have the folder full of files.. [13:03] Yud_Zroc: try one, then the other.. or add both... [13:03] Yud_Zroc: its just a matter of changeing the hd(#,#) [13:03] Dr_Willis, do they need to be mounted to add them? [13:03] How do I qmake, make then sudo make install something? [13:03] cqixk_work: it would seem the first thing is for you to establish that the problem is with mysql, and not the structure of your database. if you think there is a logic error in the package, pack up all the relevant data, and file a bug report. [13:03] Yud_Zroc: the bootloader works BEFOR the os loads.. you dont mount them.. [13:03] ox3a, firestarter has current conections list , dont no about a log perhaps you are after denyhosts ! [13:03] Can someone answer my question? [13:03] Yud_Zroc: you edit the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file, add the proper entries, then rerun 'sudo update-grub' then reboot and see if it works. [13:03] oh ok [13:04] HugoGF: err.. 'qmake' then 'make' then 'sudo make install' [13:04] It doesn't work.. [13:04] HugoGF: thats the question you asked.. :) [13:04] HugoGF: it's considered good manners to wait a few minutes before repeating your question, by the way. and saying "it doesn't work" is about as helpful to us as it sounds. [13:04] Dr_Willis: I'm in the main folder.. Not in SRC or anything. [13:04] HugoGF: and any errors its giving are? [13:05] I cant even recall the last time i saw a program use 'qmake' [13:05] Dr_Willis: I've tried several example xstartups i found with google related to that problem, but none work [13:05] stede: perhaps export it befor you run vncserver? [13:05] edwardteach, Sometime i get attacked over the internet ... I want to see the all activity such as the IP,Protocol etc [13:05] on sit niitä pareja [13:05] Dr_Willis: It just says "The program 'qmake' can be found in the following packages. [13:05] HugoGF: so its telling you that qmake is NOT installed.... [13:05] HugoGF: so install it? [13:05] hi is there anyway to control gnome-volume-manager so that it automounts when you want it to mount? [13:05] Dr_Willis: thanks :D [13:06] hello i want to ask you why i can't see photos in google earth 6? i'm using ubuntu 10.10 x64 [13:08] Dr_Willis: nope [13:08] How do I run an install.sh file? [13:08] HugoGF: sh whatever.sh [13:08] thanks [13:08] or chmod +x it [13:08] then ./whatever.sh [13:08] hi all [13:08] look on you tube [13:09] zzzz, ? [13:09] grgrgrgrg [13:10] strange issue: My email client (evolution) in lucid displays one unread messages in the folder view (Inbox Folder(1)), but the folder does not contain an unread message. I use IMAP on that folder and on the server as well, there is no unread message. [13:10] aircrack-ng [13:10] ox3a, do you have ssh installed ? i think probably firestarter the first thing to look at ! easy'er [13:11] Dr_Willis: When I type in make after qmake I get an error [13:11] edwardteach, yeah and OK i will check it [13:11] did anyone ever get wireless to work in Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)? [13:11] sambagirl, offtopic at this point [13:11] sambagirl: i imagone in some far corner of the world.. someone somewhere did..... [13:11] Dr_Willis: Something something fatal error: QApplication: No such file or directory [13:11] sambagirl: it's a new decade; time to move on... [13:11] padi999: There should be an option to show unread or sort by one of the first columns should find it [13:12] HugoGF: you proberly need to isntall extra dev packages.. [13:12] ok ok [13:12] okay.. [13:12] sheesh [13:12] Dr_Willis: Question is, how :O [13:13] HugoGF: read the error messages and qmake/make output and figure it out. or if the pacakge is allready in teh repos. you can use the 'apt-get build-deps pacakgename' [13:13] padi999: It is most likely an old email that is marked wrong. If you can't find it you can just select all and mark as read [13:13] Dr_Willis: thanks [13:14] hello i want to ask you why i can't see photos in google earth 6? i'm using ubuntu 10.10 x64 [13:14] danio_: check the forums yet> could be a bug in that version of G.E. i dont even have tha version installed here to test/verify [13:15] okay === danio_ is now known as Liverpool [13:17] how would I kill or stop everything on display 0 when I am using VNC on display 1?

[13:24] so i shoult write only $ sudo dpkg -i dkms* ? [13:24] or somehow i should change folder? [13:24] ShapeShifter499, sounds lol!

[13:27] sipior - yeah, already in there.. [13:27] rusty149: yes, that's what I meant with "I followed your advice", I actually had to first "set all as unread" [13:28] rusty149: because the option didn't exist. But afterwards issuing "mark all as read left me with the same situation [13:28] anyone? [13:28] help with the external hard drive issue? [13:28] blumaa: dmesg to check if hd has remounted, or touch /new/file/on/hd/test [13:29] padi999: Thats odd, have you restarted the program? Have you tried to sort by read flag column?

[13:31] i mean, how do i find it [13:31] yes [13:31] but i don't know the path to the external hd [13:31] blumaa: your hd should be at /media/SOMETHING [13:31] where i can found pool directory? is it possibel that i dont have it?

[13:50] *metacity [13:50] fmax30: no it means metacity requires less processing than compiz, if system requirements are a constraint then yes i suppose its faster [13:50] fmax30: in theory. since you did a 'metacity --replace' it shoudl rember and use that.

[14:02] i cant configure my name tho [14:02] edwardteach: well, bean told me that i have to isntall sta driver [14:03] hJc2: xchat has menu items and settings for all that... I dont see wny you are doing things the hard way [14:03] ubuntu 10.10 server. lspci shows my wireless card Intel Corpcan PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [kendron] Network Connection- but im unable to get it to work. Can someone please help me? [14:03] shadow98: netstat -tulp to check is it runs, iftop to monitor, to stop and kill - check init.d and maybe upstart [14:03] Because i don't want to change my name everytime i restart the computer [14:03] and join all the channels manually [14:03] and connect to my bouncer manually [14:03] hJc2: if you are using a eprsistant save file you wont have to.. it will keep your settings saved. [14:03] it takes me 30sec [14:03] ok so the source gets the checksum for the files via an encrypted tunnel, from gpg, and then verifies the files before updating ? [14:03] but if i have a persitent save file, anyone who steals that usb can read my settings [14:04] and they'll go on irc posing as me on my bouncer >:( !! [14:04] i see some people saying when they dual boot with windows- it works. but im not running windows at all. [14:04] they will know your top secret nickserv password. Oh noes.. :) [14:04] hey guys, i'm trying to find the ver. of a package from the cli. how can i do it? [14:04] :P [14:04] hJc2: I think that is paranoid. [14:04] it's not [14:05] hJc2: you can wget your setting from online (passworded) storage [14:05] hJc2: how do we know you're the real hjc2 now? [14:05] sipior: lol [14:05] :( [14:05] hi i am trying to mount a windows share with the following command, "sudo smbmount //192.168.1.3/Storage/ /home/jody/Downloads/smb/ -o username=joe,password=password,rw". it mounts perfectly, but i can not write to it. any ideas? thanks [14:05] :s [14:05] why not just do a FULL normal encrypted install to the flash drive.... if you want to be really secure.. [14:05] hJc2, no internet connection [14:05] Ddorda: sudo dpkg -l | grep [packagename] [14:05] figweeni: the packages are signed with a private key, when you download the packages, your computer checks whether the package is signed by a key that you have in your apt-key list [14:05] nvm [14:06] thanks for suggestions [14:06] hello? [14:06] slydder: hi [14:06] jody: check the windows permissions [14:07] slydder: is it possible to upgrade without burning the cd? I have iso file of maverick [14:07] rusty149, it works fine if I log in as root on the ubuntu machine [14:07] does anyone know how i can start vino (remote desktop) from command line [14:07] hey there. anyone that knows how to import cover art from banshee to gtkpod? [14:08] ls -la /home/jody/Downloads/smb [14:08] Taksas027, the ./pool/main/d/dkms is a place on the livecd ! witch line did you get too on the doc ? [14:08] mohanohi, yes... usb-stick or booting iso via grub [14:08] Taksas027, whitch command ? [14:08] hello? [14:08] mohanohi: you can mount the iso and use the script that comes with it to do the upgrade [14:09] mohanohi: it has to be the alternatecd iso [14:09] shadow98: ive not noticed a way to do that. Since it could be a security issue. if you dont want to share/see the 'current' visible desktop you dould use vncserver [14:09] !alternate | mohanohi [14:09] mohanohi: 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 [14:09] jody: ls -la /home/jody/Downloads/smb [14:09] erUSUL: oh, i have live iso cd [14:10] mohanohi: that cd/iso can not be used to do a distribution upgrade [14:10] the other docs i see all show how i can setup wireless using gnome. but i have only commandline. [14:10] erUSUL: oh, ok.. [14:10] hi [14:10] rusty149, do u want to see the output? [14:10] edwardteach: i dont have cd [14:10] Taksas027, ho ! [14:10] jody: yeah > paste.ubuntu.com [14:10] edwardteach: i installed from usb [14:10] can someone recommend me something along the lines of gimpshop, except actually being updated [14:11] hi [14:11] amh345: man iwconfig, man iwlist, do you have driver already working? [14:11] keph: impossible unless such a package is actually maintained [14:11] how to configure vodafone pendrive internet in ubuntu 10.10? [14:11] edwardteach: so i should search for it in usb? [14:11] schatan: hi, i tihnk i was speaking with you last thursday. how do i know if my ddriver is working correctly? [14:11] rusty149, http://paste.ubuntu.com/557674/ [14:11] shcherbak: ^^ [14:11] okay, how about "a graphics editor, preferably as much on par with Photoshop as possible that doesn't suck"? [14:12] keph: gimp? [14:12] Jackneill: right click on the network icon. choose edit connnection go to broadban connections [14:12] keph: gimp [14:12] erUSUL: I did a debian to ubuntu maverick migration with the live cd. [14:12] amh345: iwconfig , txpower not 0 [14:12] aeon-ltd, jrib: no, but seriously. [14:12] ymmv [14:12] jody: It is because you mounted as root. unmount it and remount without sudo [14:12] keph: gimp works great, why do you think it sucks? [14:12] keph: there is none like it [14:12] erusul ok [14:13] and after? [14:13] keph: there are applications dedictaed for vector images though [14:13] jrib, I will acknowledge this: it might be feature-packed. But the UI is absolutely obnoxious [14:13] Taksas027, lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 what was the output ? [14:13] keph: in what way? it has menus and it has icons for tools :/ [14:13] keph: then run photoshop. [14:13] shcherbak: iwconfig txpower shows 14 dBm [14:13] and how to open kernel window, i didnt find:s [14:13] Jackneill: press the button Add ? === p is now known as Guest33705 === petr_ is now known as aoidd [14:13] and after? i have 50 iq [14:13] :D [14:14] keph: maybe it's /different/ than what you are used to, but it's a great editor. In any case, if you really want photoshop then just run photoshop [14:14] amh345: is WEP WPA open network? [14:14] jrib, it has multiple windows, the icons look nothing like anything in any other graphics editor so I can't even find things easily, and the keystrokes are all different [14:14] shcherbak: no, it's not an open connection [14:14] rusty149, http://paste.ubuntu.com/557679/ [14:14] keph: wait for 2.8? http://www.gimpusers.com/system/tutorial_steps/2173/1-original.png [14:14] also, jrib, as I said: I acknowledge it might be full of features. BUT. [14:15] shcherbak: it's wpa2 personal [14:15] sipior, wish I could, man [14:15] jody: what command did you run? [14:15] edwardteach: http://paste.ubuntu.com/557623/ === fox\away\ is now known as littlefox === littlefox is now known as little-fox [14:15] keph: it's just different icons and different commands. If you had learned to use gimp first, you'd feel the same way about photoshop imo [14:15] aeon-ltd, yeah, see, that's my point. It took them apparently 28 major versions (by naive count) to get the UI right-ish [14:15] keph: what's stopping you? if you need it, then use it. complaining that gimp isn't like photoshop isn't improving your situation any. [14:15] smbmount //192.168.1.3/Storage/ /mnt/ -o username=joe,password=password,rw [14:15] keph: 'right' is relative [14:16] Next gimp release is to be 'in one window' i recall. [14:16] I cant stand photoshop. I learned gimp. :) [14:16] sipior, notice how I started off with asking how to make gimp something I could use. I WANT to like it, it's just that I don't get the feeling it wants me to [14:16] jody: Thats different do, smbmount //192.168.1.3/Storage/ /home/jody/Downloads/smb -o username=joe,password=password,rw [14:16] Taksas027, have you tried System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers [14:16] keph: theres some 'gimpshop' i recall . but never used it [14:16] amh345: You need to know wpa_supplicant, hm WPA2, do not recall perfect solution... [14:17] edwardteach: no [14:17] keph: dude man, i started with gimp; but seriously photoshop feels more like the 'real deal', but anyways for small jobs gimp is fine; for large jobs - why aren't you given photoshop by your employer? [14:17] rusty149, I tried to that directory also but with no luck [14:17] aeon-ltd, might be. 'Industry standard' however, is not [14:17] (regarding your 'is relative' comment, btw, aeon-ltd) [14:17] Dr_Willis, yeah. Not updated anymore [14:17] How do i make my own irc hostname like lol@lol.com ??? [14:17] amh345: anyway to confirm your wireless works: iwlist wlan0 scanning [14:17] I have a bouncer [14:17] Taksas027, just try that please ! [14:17] hJc: ask i freenode [14:18] edwardteach: what i should do? [14:18] keph: yeah i know, but i'd just hold out till 2.8 if single window interface is what you like [14:18] keph: if you're genuinely interested in improving gimp, the best way is to engage those developers directly. (filing bug reports and feature requests, submitting code if you're able) unfortunately, we have little control over gimp here in #ubuntu. [14:18] jody: is downoads/smb properly unmounted. I need to see the exact command and output pastes [14:18] hJc: read your bouncer docs perhaps? you cn set up a cloak on freenode.. thats not related to a bouncer. [14:18] aeon-ltd, dunno. Might be that my employer's a cheapskate. Seriously though? The focus here's on programming, so that's kinda justified I guess [14:18] shcherbak: that returns a result. i found my essid. now im trying to iwconfig wlan0 key my_key_here but it's throwing an invalid arg on my_key_here [14:18] Taksas027, drop down menus = System > Administration > Hardware/Additional Drivers [14:18] theres really Not a lot of gimp devlopers out there any more from what i read a few weeks back. I think theres just a handfull of active devs for it now a days. [14:19] edwardteach: and for what i should look there? [14:19] sipior, from what I've heard, they're pretty adamant that the UI is just awesome. Case in point? It took them this many versions to even consider single-window mode [14:19] rusty149, yes it is unmounted. http://paste.ubuntu.com/557680/ [14:19] keph: i assume they wanted to be different from photoshop, rather than be a gnu copy [14:19] keph: personally i have no issues with things not being in a single window... [14:19] hi. i'm sure this question has been asked before but i'm not getting anywhere after googling the issue. i'm trying to stop a service, but when i use the command "sudo service vsftpd stop" i get the "unknown instance:" error. how do i stop this service?? [14:19] the whole 'in a single window' is so old-windows-mdi interfaceish... [14:20] jody: Can you paste the exact command aswell please [14:20] amh345: You need wpa_supplicant to connect (and there is plenty on almost good how-tos, it may be that you will need wicd) [14:20] aeon-ltd, hey isn't opensource all about choices though? Took them right up until 2.8 to give me a choice of not having a crapton of windows [14:20] jody: Just here is fine for one line [14:20] Opensource is about freedom. not quite teh same as 'choices' [14:20] Can anybody help me install Tor on Ubuntu 10.10? I have installed Polipo through terminal, changed the config file to the one supplied by torproject.org, installed vidalia through the Ubuntu software center, and (or so I thought) installed Tor. However, my Tor executable is nowhere to be found. Help plox? [14:21] rusty149, Sorry lol. http://paste.ubuntu.com/557681/ [14:21] Hi guys, like to have some help with .RAR files [14:21] MarkAng: you installed tor via the tor ppa? or tor repos? theres not a tor packave in the default repos i thouight. [14:21] !rar | sinux [14:21] sinux: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [14:21] sinux: unrar -e foo.rar :) [14:21] I honestly have no idea. [14:21] Does it matter much? [14:22] MarkAng: then you never installed the actual TOR program [14:22] is there a way to extract these files in linux [14:22] Taksas027, there should be a section called Additional Drivers in there there should be help to install drivers for it ! [14:22] Where can I find the ppa/repository? [14:22] sinux: read the factoid erUSUL gave you [14:22] MarkAng: theres a tor/ubuntu wiki page. and the tor homepage has debs i think [14:22] ok thx every one I'll just do that [14:23] hi, i have a problem my left touchpad button will not work, only the right button, i can left click if i use my touchpad but that is starting to annoy me. could you help me? [14:23] http://pastebin.com/xkzwZ9uj [14:23] that is my xinput list and my mouse section from my xorg.conf [14:24] Dr_Willis, do you mean this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tor? [14:24] Whoops, accidentally included a ? in the url [14:24] MarkAng: url looks right... [14:24] anyone know why the "service" command won't work for some services? i get an "unknown instance" error when trying to stop vsftpd, for instance [14:24] jody: sudo smbmount //192.168.1.3/Storage/ /home/jody/Downloads/smb/ -o username=joe,password=password,rw,uid=jody [14:24] Yeah, I've already done most of the things in there relevant to my ubuntu distro. [14:25] cchildress: some sevices use upstart; use « initctl » or « start stop restart » commands [14:26] I followed instructions on Tor's own site to add repositories and gpg keys(?) through terminal and gedit. [14:26] erUSUL: i have tried those, as well. "sudo stop vsfptd" gets me the same error [14:26] rusty149, thanks a million it works perfectly [14:26] cchildress: could be they are not poperly using the upstart system. ive never noticed any not workign via service.. [14:26] Because the official ubuntu one has instructions up to 10.04 but not 10.10 [14:26] cchildress: well that error is correct if you stop something that is not running ... [14:26] erUSUL: oh but it is running, lol [14:27] that's the problem. i want to turn off ftp (i only use it rarely) but cannot! [14:27] cchildress: sudo status vsfptd [14:27] jody: If it is a regular mount. It would be better to add to fstab with same options [14:27] are you know a good IRC client for ubuntu? [14:27] cchildress: also recheck the service name [14:27] irssi [14:27] Jackneill: x-chat [14:27] Taksas027, what is the output of lsb_release -a [14:27] ok thx [14:27] Jackneill: depends on your needs [14:27] Jackneill: I would recommend Pidgin. [14:27] hm [14:27] On it right now, works like a charm. [14:28] * BluesKaj wonders why fstab doesn't seem to list the cdrom === petr_ is now known as splitter [14:28] Pidgin is lacking features compared to dedicated irc clients. [14:28] hi [14:28] rusty149, will do. again, thank you very much [14:28] Jackneill: irssi - client of the future! [14:28] !list [14:28] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [14:28] BluesKaj: because its handled automatically by gnome services [14:28] okok [14:28] does anyone know if latest ipod nano works well with rhythmbox? [14:28] jody: //192.168.1.3/Storage/ /home/jody/Downloads/smb/ cifs username=joe,password=password,rw,uid=jody 0 0 [14:28] I perfer weechat to irssi these days. for a pure text based irc client. [14:28] Dr_Willis: Anything on my problem? *nagging* [14:29] edwardteach: i havent looked at drivers section, yet, cant right now [14:29] erUSUL: very strange. when i start the service via "sudo start vsftpd" i get a process id and it says it starts. but then when i "sudo status vsftpd" it says "stopped/waiting" [14:29] Dr_Willis, well in my case that would be kde services ? [14:29] MarkAng: i dont use tor any more.. all i did a year+ ago was follow the wiki pages. [14:29] BluesKaj: yep. [14:29] Oh. [14:29] it says it starts...but then acts like teh service isn't started [14:29] cchildress: :/ and "restart"? [14:29] Well then, anybody else capable of helping? [14:30] MarkAng: there also the forums.. Tor can be a real pain. [14:30] MarkAng: perhaps the tor service is not running. [14:30] erUSUL: "unknown instance" when i issue the restart command [14:30] It isn't, and vidalia tells me it needs the location of my Tor executable. [14:30] lol why can't i just use the stinking init script lol [14:30] 'which tor' [14:30] To make it run, I mean. [14:31] cchildress: really dunno what is happening [14:31] I dont recall using Vidalia. I just set up tor. and set up my browser to use it. [14:31] erUSUL: that makes two of us [14:31] cchildress: maybe in #upstart ? [14:31] erUSUL: yeah i'll try them thanks [14:32] how do i know what my psk is? [14:32] Vidalia is a control panel to start and stop Tor, among other functions. [14:32] MarkAng: if its a service.. let it start and let it run.. i dont recall needing vidalia :) [14:32] So while that may not be necessary, how can I tell whether Tor is running? [14:32] sudo service tor start (perhaps) [14:33] MarkAng: perhaps the tor service is not running. [14:33] MarkAng: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/how-to-install-tor-in-ubuntu-1010.html [14:33] i need install my graphics video [14:33] but i dont see my X [14:33] That command appears to have worked, checking it right now. [14:34] MarkAng: that url mentions vidalla has a issue with the latest TOR.. [14:34] marcelo__: and your video chipset is ? [14:34] Taksas027, lsb_release -a will tell you witch ubuntu your running ! [14:34] nvidia [14:34] Dr_Willis [14:34] That would explain a whole lot :-/ [14:35] marcelo__: install the nvidia-current package via command line perhaps. or boot using the 'nomodeset' option, and you should get a low-res desktop you can use the normal tools to install them [14:35] !info nvidia-current [14:35] Hello guys [14:35] nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library.

[14:35] edwardteach: i clicked somehwere read about ubuntu and it showed me that 10.04, so probably it is the version [14:36] if I'm surfing on display 1 via VNC can my mom log in on her's at home into display 0 and not directly bother me? [14:36] Dr_Willis how i boot using the nomodeset? [14:36] Taksas027, ok ! [14:36] marcelo__: boot , get to grub menu. hit 'e' - replace 'quiet splash' with 'nomodeset' [14:37] Taksas027, if you want to be sure , lsb_release -a [14:37] Yes, my Torbutton confirms that Tor is up and running. Thanks a lot, Dr_Willis! [14:37] ShapeShifter499: if you are using 'vncserver' you can have dozens of vncservers going at the same time. [14:37] i will do it soon [14:37] Dr_Willis, I'm using tightvncviewer [14:37] ShapeShifter499: so you are using a 'vncserver' then. [14:37] Dr_Willis, er... I mean tightvncserver [14:38] you can have dozens of them running. :) [14:38] if the system can handle the load. [14:38] So thanks. [14:39] ya but besides killing the cpu and ram is there any possible chance that my mom can mess my session up if I'm at school and using the same comp VIA vnc? [14:39] seperate desktops/sessions.. so no [14:39] unless she reboots the machine... [14:39] ya was about to say that xD [14:39] her poping in a cd. may cause it to pop up on your desktop also.. [14:39] oh thats fine [14:40] people expect things to be 'user friendly' for a 'single user' fail to see the implications from the fact that Linux is a Multiuser system from teh start. :) [14:40] ik but I just want to make sure [14:40] Well.. as a elvis lover.. here you go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWRo6C_HcEo [14:41] I don't want to be at school messing with a project on my home comp than see it flash off the screen BEFORE I save [14:41] :-) [14:41] I think I would die [14:41] she could always blow a fuse vacumeing the floor...

[15:00] suman, i just told the same thing above [15:00] yeah jus logged in ...will read it [15:01] suman: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [15:01] suman, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [15:01] ;S [15:01] I've seen those instructions before - someone recommends also using '--without-recommends'. [15:01] sipior: it's returning a bunch of lines, over and over for wlan0 and eth0, DHCPDISCOVER in 1lan0 255.255.255.255 port67 interval x. then it said No DHCP offers received. however, it should be 255.255.255.0 [15:01] abhi but it saying it cannot locate the installation file...

[15:01] :o [15:01] suman: you would proberly be better off installing the desktop edition - then adding what server parts you need.. then doing the reverse [15:02] suman, have you written the right command? spelling? [15:02] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [15:02] yes i guess it s nt connected to the internet [15:02] amh345, you may need to restart and reset /etc/network/interfaces , try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart , if it balks at thet command then try: sudo service networking restart [15:02] how to connect it ??? [15:03] suman: then you can't not without something like apt-on-cd [15:03] hi, i want to burn a ubuntu live cd. i use a netbook with an attached usb cd-rw drive. ubuntu does not recognize it. i have not found any useful infor for that problem [15:03] suman: wired or wireless networking? [15:03] Benkinooby: when you plug it in check 'dmesg' output, near the bottom it should mentoon what /dev/sd# or /dev/sr# it is.

Currently I have 2.6.32-26-generic installed [15:05] NoReflex: all of them have smp support [15:05] means it not able to locate the packages as its nt connected to the internet ...basically how to connect it to the internet [15:05] amh345: nothing magical about dchp, of course. you could always choose a network-appropriate ip address, and set your gateway and dns information by hand. [15:05] dudes, in ubuntu 10.10 the brightness of my laptop keeps going down to half every time I stop using it for like a minute...fn keys works, but it's just boring. what can I do? [15:05] NoReflex: maybe ht is disabled in bios ? [15:05] NoReflex, there where some intel cpu with a ht bug... maybe the ht is disabled. [15:05] I'm kinda n00b so.. [15:05] suman: plug in a wired cable to your router. and perhaps run the dhclient command, or restart the network services [15:05] Taksas027, sudo dpkg -i dkms* was the command to run first for usb ! === Guest9173 is now known as rickh === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [15:06] eurisko, if HT is disabled from BIOS would it still appear as a CPU flag? [15:06] moln: check your powersaving settings or screensaver settings. theres a check box to dim on idle. [15:06] moln: menu > Preferences > Power , untick dim display [15:06] oki will do that ... [15:06] erUSUL, ^^ [15:06] uh ok thx [15:06] wats the command to restart network service [15:06] Dr_Willis, my dmesg output sees something http://pastebin.com/TXRTjdvy [15:06] NoReflex, you to have HT enabled on bios. But noneless check what intel cpu's had ht bug. [15:06] yea I find out exactly when u both told me [15:07] *have to [15:07] suman: sudo restart networking === xmasbot_ is now known as xmasbot [15:07] sudo service networking restart, suman [15:07] BluesKaj: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart says reconfig network, then it hit LPF/wlan0/mac_address. send_packet says network is unreachable it doesnt the same for eth0 but returns a bunch of DHCPDiscover before saying No DHCPOffers received. then it says it's trying to associate my mac_address with my essid, and it looks like it properly associated. but still no ping google.com . jeez, i wish i could c/p. [15:07] oh another thing, I have some updates [15:08] but it won't let me download them [15:08] amh345: you never mentioned if you had verified that there is a dhcp server listening on the network. [15:08] hi is there a way to uninstall pulse audio? [15:08] it's like: could not fetch, error 404 check your internet (and my internet works) [15:08] sipior: when i define that manually, do i just do it in /etc/network/intefaces ? [15:09] sipior: yes, there is a dhcp server listening (router). my other machines are on it. [15:09] thank u [15:09] amh345: you could do, but best to do it by hand for now and verify that it works. [15:09] sipior: when you say by hand, and are not referring to network/interfaces.. how do i do it? [15:09] hi there, Is there a software to control startup programs? [15:10] AbuBadr: System --> Pref --> Startup Apps [15:10] AbuBadr: depends on what ones you want to controll. [15:10] AbuBadr: of course [15:10] amh345: you can set the ip address of an interface with "ifconfig", and add a route with "route". those are both in /sbin, if that's not in your path already. [15:11] Taravel: any time ive seen someone try to remove pulseaudio.. they soon come back and ask how to reinstall it.. or end up reinstalling the system [15:11] amh345: so, "sudo ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" or the like. [15:11] AbuBadr: run terminal $ sudo apt-get install startupmanager [15:11] !info startupmanager [15:11] startupmanager (source: startupmanager): Grub, Usplash and Splash screen configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.9.13-5 (maverick), package size 114 kB, installed size 1360 kB [15:11] its saying unknown instance [15:11] red2kic, I tried that way but I can't find emesene?! [15:11] amh345, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file , so we can have a look [15:11] :unknown instance [15:12] amh345: and then "sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.100" or whatever your gateway address is. [15:12] i have connected it to wired internet [15:12] sipior: im usung wlan0, so ill sub ifconfig for iwconfig [15:12] AbuBadr: /etc/xdg/autostart <-- Check that. [15:12] amh345: those are not the same thing! [15:12] during installation i have skipped the network configuration or setup [15:13] BluesKaj: i cant paste bin, it's on another computer. but i can type out my interfaces content in pastebin [15:13] amh345: iwconfig configures the wireless communication of the card. ifconfig addresses the network stack proper. [15:13] abhijit r u there?? [15:13] suman, yes [15:14] sipior: oh, but using wlan0 instead of sudo wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i eth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf is ok though? [15:14] its not taking the command saying unknown instance [15:14] mmm the problem is that pulse audio can't handle AC3/DTS over HDMI and only deleting it I can achieve this feature in xbmc :P but I can't understand if I can remove it without loosing the audio indicator. [15:14] suman, are you connected tointernet? [15:14] amh345: sure, if that's the wireless interface. [15:14] oh sorry [15:14] my bad!!!!!!! lol :D [15:14] my connection is active [15:15] Hi [15:15] am using it thru my other comp [15:15] Why I can't use fdisk to partition the disk [15:15] suman, i mean the machine on you want to install that is that connected to internet? and close all other synaptic, software cneter etc only open terminal [15:15] i am having problems with mencoder at "Audio LAVC, couldn't find encoder for codec libfaac." .....................i can post the command i used if you need me to [15:15] It said 'No free sectors available' === Cain` is now known as Cain [15:15] its a server edition ...so i have only command line interface === serard is now known as Whysky [15:16] I have an Ubuntu 10.04 desktop that currently authenticates through LDAP.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:17] AbuBadr: emesene starts up and you want to turn that off? [15:17] abhijit:what is the command to connect it to the internet [15:17] suman, do sudo apt-get update and then do that command === Whysky is now known as serard [15:17] it was easy in linux mint to right click any programe from the mint menu and then select to start with startup [15:17] suman, i am not familiar with server i mean commadn line to connect to internet. ask in #ubuntu-server [15:18] suman: parted fails too ?

[15:19] abhijit:ok [15:19] cd? [15:20] suman, i think then that machine is not connected to internet. first connect it to internet [15:20] abhijit:yeah === ymasory_ is now known as ymasory [15:20] abhijit:how to???

[15:26] EdibleDave: you can use VNC or SSH + x forward apps. If you needed desktop stuffs, why didn't you just install the desktop OS? [15:26] Dedicated server.

[15:27] for some reason, i cannot disable X from starting @ boot [15:27] what can I do? [15:27] livingdaylight: whever you want. [15:27] livingdaylight: doesn't matter where it is [15:27] itsme2011: so you can't go to any websites, or just that one?

[15:28] KM0201: That's my issue, I am unable to access a lot of websites from my ubuntu 10.10 64 bit.

[15:28] Dr_Willis, | ActionParsnip where are all the wallpapers kept so I can have all 1 placve [15:28] livingdaylight: right click desktop -> change picture then click 'add' and tell the OS where the picture is, you don't have to put the image in a special folder in windows either [15:28] amh345, you should add the IP addresses for the computer, network, gateway, netmask, and broadcast to the file ... this tutorial might help you set up your wpa_supplicant , if needed [15:29] amh345, http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#wpasupplicant [15:29] ActionParsnip, but I want to move picture out of downloads folder, too much clutter [15:29] BluesKaj: thank you. i will read it [15:29] livingdaylight: Put it in ~/Pictures/ [15:29] AbuBadr: different ACPI support, that's why. Windows is a different OS with different support [15:29] for some reason, i cannot disable X from starting @ boot. tried sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove already [15:29] livingdaylight: then put it wherever you like [15:29] !nox | Cube`` [15:29] red2kic, is there not one folder where are all other backgrounds are kept? [15:29] Cube``: 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 [15:29] livingdaylight: no, you can store it in ~/Pictires if you like [15:30] livingdaylight: Pictures sorry [15:30] ActionParsnip: but i can still do STARTX afterwards? [15:30] livingdaylight: You're talking about system-wide configuration. Yeah, few backgrounds are kept in there -- but that's also the reason why you can't delete them. Put it in ~/Pictures/ and select it from there. [15:30] ActionParsnip, but ubuntu have default wallpapers. Where are they so I can make 1 collection [15:30] Cube``: yes, its only the option from the boot, you can startx if you like [15:30] ok [15:30] KM0201: I am able to access websites but a few of them don't work.

[15:31] ActionParsnip, yes and i can't find drivers for linux for my laptop but is there a universal drivers for screen light and fan control? [15:31] livingdaylight: i believe it's /usr/share/backgrounds but you don't NEED to keep it there for it to be usable. You will also need to use sudo cp or gksudo nautilus to get write access to the folder [15:31] livingdaylight: You are. If you had to ask us where -- then you're not really a master. :) === jamie is now known as Guest30477 [15:32] Cube``: you are using grub2 you add the option in /etc/default/grub in the quotes next to quiet splas then run: sudo update-grub [15:32] ActionParsnip, /usr/share/backgrounds is exactly what I was after [15:32] AbuBadr: what is the make / model of the system? [15:32] livingdaylight: it's not necesary though [15:33] red2kic, no, I am measly servant [15:33] eurisko, I cannot find the Intel bug you mentioned [15:33] livingdaylight: do you copy your wallpaper in Windows, to c:\windows ??

Thanks everyone. I think I can manage installing VNC and getting VMWare installed on my own. [15:34] livingdaylight: can you expand on "mess with? do you mean "use"?

[15:42] AbuBadr: not finding too much, you could try disabling acpi to test [15:42] sipior: no\ [15:42] livingdaylight: http://code.google.com/p/lsyncd/ [15:42] I am unable to access websites from my Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit), please help.

[15:46] ActionParsnip: That was only a work around, I performed by a friends suggestion. [15:46] actionParsnip: exactly [15:46] galamar: ah, you likely need the correct gstreamer plugin package. [15:46] ActionParsnip, thank you [15:46] brijithmac: thats not a backup then, its the actual systems power [15:46] sipior: do you wanna see the command im using? [15:46] ActionParsnip: base line is, I am unable to access those websites [15:47] clear [15:47] Whoops. [15:47] brijithmac: you can use LXDE which is a lighter desktop, and ditch compiz. This will stress your CPU less and allow it to run slower, saving power [15:47] sipior: and how do i correct the gstreamer plugin package [15:47] galamar: no, i think the error is clear enough. try installing all the gstreamer packages you find. [15:47] ubuntu has an LXDE version ? [15:47] itsme2011: do you have nameserver's defined in /etc/resolv.conf ? [15:47] ActionParsnip: is it a alternative to Gnome ?

[15:52] thats a big file .shall i type it... [15:53] ActionParsnip: I was using pppoeconfg command to connect to same internet connection, in older versions of Ubuntu, but now they have provided a GUI method in Network Connections [15:53] rusty149:shall i type it cuz its on other comp [15:53] AbuBadr: yes, it will make acpi not be loaded [15:53] rusty149:r u ther? [15:53] sipior: i only found 2 gstreamer packs the seemed important.... other than that there is like 100 packages that mention gstreamer. [15:53] itsme2011: worth a shot isn't it?

[15:54] galamar: the relevant one may live in the Universe or Multiverse repositories [15:54] ActionParsnip, but the grub is full of data. where to put acpi=off exactly? [15:54] AbuBadr: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT [15:54] galamar: unfortunately, ubuntu likes making folks play games to figure out which package contains the media plugin they desire. [15:55] rusty149:its not mentioned in output of the command 'ifconfig' [15:55] AbuBadr: When you're done, close it. Run "update-grub2" -- Hopefully it'll work. La la la. [15:55] red2kic, i have this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [15:55] AbuBadr: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off" [15:56] AbuBadr: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off" [15:56] rusty149:?? [15:56] Ok, that emerald helped, but I thought Compiz had a special window menu for all the windows that would let you change the window rules? Like KDE has, I have windows rules enabled on compiz settings [15:56] suman: paste, sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces [15:56] Encr9: You have to declare the rules in the plugins. Things don't happen automagically. [15:57] red2kic, ActionParsnip, update-grub or update-grub2 ?? [15:57] AbuBadr: eithe [15:57] AbuBadr: You pick. [15:57] r [15:57] ActionParsnip: If I use pppoeconf command now, I will never be able to use GUI method to connect to Internet, Network Connection will say "Device Not managed", i will have to use same command to connect to INTERNET every time .

[15:59] AbuBadr: the file is outside home, you need to run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub to get write access [15:59] AbuBadr: Permissions. That file are not meant to be tampered religiously. [15:59] rusty149:yeah its auto eth [15:59] rusty149:its saying auto lo [15:59] AbuBadr: ANY file outside of your home that you need write access to, use sudo or gksudo (gksudo if you intend to use graphical apps to edit / manipulate the data) === nemesis is now known as Guest98137 [15:59] Dose anyone know where I can get printer drivers?

[16:05] galamar: my suspicion is that mencoder is compiled without faac support. since you're running natty, you get to file the bug report :-) [16:05] suman: just 2 lines? OK, then do sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces [16:05] WinP000: yeah it is a little confusing isn't it [16:05] sipior: i believe thats on purpose..not a bug..!

[18:58] abe: using a firewall can filter the scan, giving no useful results to the attacker [18:58] @erUSUL thanks for the headsup. I am getting annoyed, everyday i get run wtih 3 ports scans and sometimes ping of death [18:58] erUSUL: it came up with ext2 by default on the install. [18:58] abe: ubuntu has the ufw firewall frontend that is very simple [18:58] abe: home grade routrs (usually) drop pings like that [18:59] @marcobiscaro2112 i am going through a router provide by bellsouth At&t, i don't know how much of a firewell it is?

[18:59] you* [18:59] Hi guys, just picked up a vertex 2 turbo SSD :D [19:00] Have created a new aligned ext4 partition [19:00] It is actually my router that is getting portscan [19:00] abe: if you want to protect your LAN, you need to configure the policies on router (i dont know exactly how) [19:00] But am at a loss as to how i should migrate /root etc to it [19:00] Twisted: ext2 will make the device last longer, or you can tweak ext4 [19:00] @marcobiscaro2112 u r right. I will do a portscan on myself and see what is open. good start? [19:00] so i can boot of it [19:00] can anyone here set up a php script on a remote server [19:00] erUSUL: Thanks for your time. Guess I'll have to try reinstalling the server. And try to get ext3 going on it. Good thing I don't have anything going on it yet. ) [19:01] abe: yes, but it must be run from the internet [19:01] abe: google for 'online nmap' [19:01] Aha, roger that, will tweak ext4 [19:01] @marcobiscaro2112 awesome! thank you. last question: [19:01] Is that a increase the journalling threshold jobby [19:02] So it doesnt cause too much writing out [19:02] If my router compromised can the attacker remote control computers connected to the router? [19:02] (And "burn" it out or whatever) [19:02] abe: depends on what services are running on those computers [19:02] As far as i can tell, i need to copy everything on my current /root partition to the new SSD partition [19:02] abe, only if he knows you network passwords and IPs [19:03] and point grub at the new partition [19:03] abe: no. If your router is bad configured, but your computers run a firewall, there is no problem [19:03] bearly230: ok; good luck [19:03] But how to do so, i see so many guides for migrating to larger harddrives, etc, but nothing seems to apply properly [19:04] (To be clear i wish to keep /home on the old HDD) [19:04] So really, if the router gets compromised the next stage is cracking the security (firewall) of the computer? [19:04] hi! ubuntu (10.10) locks my monitor after a while and aska for password. how can i disable this?

[19:07] trojan_spike: sensors [19:07] for CPU temp use 'sensors' [19:07] bonjoyee beat me :) [19:07] Twisted: ;) [19:07] Twisted, how about a new install on the drive and putting your old /home partition in fstab? [19:07] 23c,, good job [19:07] @marcobiscaro2112 so, I must check my security log on my computer to see if there has been an attacks. Why a ping of death on my router? can it be to restrict our workplace from the internet, what can the ping of death gain the attacker beside restricting Internet access to the attackee? [19:07] Twisted: first, you need to create a partition on the new ssd [19:08] anyone know anything about the google chrome OS linux? [19:08] Taste: #chromeos? [19:08] marcobiscaro2112: I have the partition on there already, aligned etc and ready to go [19:08] ext4 [19:08] ActionParsnip: Thank you for pointing that. I'm kinda drunk now, and was looking for the highlight :D Also thanks to the lazy-but-wise Twisted ;) [19:08] bonjoyee, am i able to edit sensors? [19:08] trojan_spike: as in? [19:08] And Ubutom, it looks like i might just go and do that really [19:08] abe , ping of death? [19:09] Edit sensors how? [19:09] bonjoyee, change temp values [19:09] abe: the ping of death was used to make a DoS attack to windows 95 computers, i don't think it can be used to compromise routers [19:09] Hey i need to know if there are official drivers for a linksys WUSB600n wireless card [19:09] @SIG@ macro wiki stuff.. got links to all macros?

[19:10] Twisted, yea,, to hit certain speed at certain temp [19:10] For adjusting fan speeds [19:10] abe, most routers run linux , and the ping of death isn't relavent unless you have windows networking [19:10] erUSUL, I don't know, im not at the computer right now.

[19:10] Error: Can't read configuration file [19:11] trojan_spike: your bios should be able to do that... [19:11] Twisted, im guessing this is a file i can possibly deit? [19:11] @BlusKaj in the security log it says "Illegal Packet Size (Ping of Death)" [19:11] bonjoyee, not for my fan control [19:11] Its kinda complex, and im not that experienced myself [19:12] my hardware doesnt support fancontrol it seems [19:12] so i dont know much about it [19:12] bonjoyee, i mean bios doesnt control my fan,, its water cooling.. I'll check forum,, cheers [19:12] how do I get the src from a ppa? [19:12] What you are looking for is basically a way to setup lm-sensors and fancontrol [19:12] Senix: well in theory ubuntu comes with a driver for it... how well it will work is another matter [19:12] Best look for a tutorial really :S [19:12] Twisted, basically yea [19:12] Senix: find /lib/modules/ -name '*2870*' [19:13] DexterF: same way you get the source from the default repositories (apt-get source after adding the deb-src repository line in your sources.list) [19:13] erUSUL, thanks for the help, i'll try a few things [19:13] Senix: you have to make sure the driver is loaded « sudo modprobe rt2870sta » ( it should load automatically when you plug the thing but anyway ...) [19:14] erUSUL, kthx, see im not at said computer right now. i'll have this log so i can try a few of the things you've told [19:14] jrib: ah, well - had to add -src manually. thanks.

[19:30] ok [19:30] Hi! Im kinda new to this. I was just wondering if someone could help me with some driver problems [19:30] thetobe49: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [19:30] sud0, are you here? [19:30] thetobe49: ask away [19:31] thetobe49: yes [19:31] ActionParsnip, thats why i moved ot deluge , i can set it up to down load files say one at a time throu the day at 100KB and at night it may dl 4 at a time at 400KB or what ever its set to === StarSky is now known as Lucase [19:31] aright:P i try to install a line6usb driver and it doesnt install [19:31] The fist of fury, and the rage i have in my haha.. :-) [19:31] its an audio interface [19:31] jgcampbell300: you can set a speed throttle in transmission between 2 times too [19:31] haha [19:32] its originally made for windows but someome wrote a driver for linux [19:32] so can anyone help? [19:33] just upgraded, now alsamixer only works as root, if i run as any other user i get annot open mixer: No such file or directory. also audio playback only works when running an application as root, halp?! [19:33] I don’t initiate downloads from aenea, I do it from my laptop, so it won’t do to have to VNC into aenea and launch the UI. Fortunately, Deluge supports this. Unfortunately, the docs consist of a hard-to-follow thread on the forums. To get the Deluge daemon and the WebUI to run on system startup, I created an init.d script based on a forum thread. [19:33] thetobe49: well go on the website of your hardware and download the linux driver vesion [19:33] jgcampbell300: There is a transmission-daemon package.

[19:34] jgcampbell300: Also that web interface is part of the regular client, I use it all the time myself. [19:34] jgcampbell300: not trying to sway you or anything like that, just educating of features you think arent in an app, when they are :D [19:34] they are all fine apps though [19:35] is it possible to have a wirless + ethernet connection.. it seems like wicd drops one or the other...

See http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor for more info hosomaki [19:40] werrty: if you use ubuntu to encrypt your home folder it will mount when you log in, you can back it up by just copying the data to an unencrypted drive somewhere [19:40] hosomaki: Also, it's not as secure, but: [19:40] For information on cloaks, see this URL: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [19:40] Dmole: Thats the problem, it does not mount for some reason [19:41] KB1JWQ, thx a lot!

[19:42] Arachon: Thats normal. Perhaps you'd find it more useful to run your command within screen. [19:42] werrty: copy this some where before messing with it: /home/.ecryptfs/ [19:42] pici: Okhay, how would I go about doing that? [19:42] werrty: are you logging in with the GUI,ssh,RDP? [19:43] Cause the main problem is of course that when running normally, I can't close the ssh connection without killing the java process [19:43] SSH [19:43] Dmole: GUI [19:43] Dmole : on the first line they ask if pulse audio is deamon or not ... how can i find this out ? [19:44] Arachon: screen yourcommandhere, then you can use screen -DR (or -r or whatever options you want to use to reconnect) next time you ssh to your server. You may need to write a little script to run instead of putting all the arguments at the end of the screen command. [19:44] Pici: Ok... What does -DR or and -r do? [19:45] Arachon: -DR = force disconnects of other connected screens and connect, -r = just connect. Its all explained in the 'screen' manpage. [19:45] Arachon: You may also want to take a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [19:45] Okay, thanks [19:45] Hi all, I have setup a vpn connection to a windows pptp and i can connect to the vpn fine and even ping remote workstations. But I can't for the life of me RDP to anything at all. [19:46] elfrabbe: i think it is by default in ubuntu, you can see if it's running by asking it (pulseaudio --help) [19:46] werrty: look in your log files for why it's not mounting [19:47] What are ~/.profile, ~/.xsession, and ~/.xinitrc? [19:49] werrty: also this /home/user/.Private on /home/user type ecryptfs (ecryptfs_sig=d480e27954124506,ecryptfs_fnek_sig=6b64d97ea316e976,ecryptfs_cipher=aes,ecryptfs_key_bytes=16) [19:49] What is »Hyena«? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/the-truth-about-banshees-photo-support/ : "Hyena is a core part of Banshee."

I installed Ubuntu on this pen drive and I updated the OS to do some tests but some times these tests sink the OS so I'm looking for a fast way to restart from the updated system with basic modification. [19:50] When I run skype along with a few other programs.. If any one of them accesses the hard drive a lot.. skype just goes mental and cracks up and so on. Any ideas? is this a common problem? [19:50] Mosterd: ~/.xinitrc gets used by startx, ~/.xsession is a user session script for things like gdm, ~/.profile is a file that gets source anytime you login nowadays [19:50] Taravel: man dd [19:50] If installing /boot on a USB drive for the booting of an encrypted FS; 2 questions -- 1.)

I've done all that, I have actually a thread on the issue (http://askubuntu.com/questions/23082/home-folder-not-being-decrypted). Do I interpret you correct if assuming that all needed (for a backup and in order to decrypt the data) is in .ecryptfs and .Private?

[19:56] I was wondering why I need to setup a server and such for a couple of simple keybinginds. [19:56] Citizenwarrior: read "man mount" you will be using the remount option, and tmpfs [19:57] !list [19:57] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [19:57] Dmole, will do thank you for your time [19:57] I think ~/.xsession is the most probable place to put that stuff in.

Check out this pastebin and tell me what is going on: http://pastebin.com/4rDmyjyM . Please respond to me with any suggestions. [19:59] Mosterd: you want to use ~/.profile unless you are already using a ~/.xsession or ~/.xinitrc. (Actually probably the easiest way is to create a small bash script with the command and then use System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications). If you insist on using a .file, ~/.xprofile (if that still works nowadays) would be more appropriate since you only want to run vrome in X [19:59] Hey I need a messenger program for windows live messenger [20:00] anyone have any experience with cpan? Following some dumb tutorial on the net I didn't let it autoanswer stuff on my ubuntu server. So now its prompting me for way too much.

[20:01] And this can be with very few things running [20:01] jake: I always thought that Empathy can do the job, but I never used it. [20:01] Thank you [20:01] jrib, do you have an idea why that plugin should need a server since I prefer to put as less things as possible in any startup file? [20:01] Praxi: purging build-essential wouldn't affect cpan but I imagine it has a some .file used for configuration in your HOME. Maybe try #perl if you need more info [20:01] I'm trying to use xvidcap to produce a tutorial, but my sound is coming out all messed up. When I look at the Sound Prefs, it shows two possible sound outputs - an analog and hdmi, but xvidcap list the sounds at /dev/dsp. Is that not the right input?

Might be everything from kernel to hardware incompabilty.... [20:05] jrib, Also, if I put anything in .profile that gives an error, will that prevent my system from starting?

[20:08] brb [20:08] OvermindDL1, wow well I was hoping that you would see something eating up cpu but apparenlty that's not the issue mmm [20:08] SungSam: do you know a reasonable way to debug?

[20:09] moln: when ubuntu starts, on the top-right corner you can see a "blue bar things". That's the network manager [20:09] On Windows this reminds me of when I start running out of system handles, just starts randomly freezing like this (although in Windows that involves running a crap-ton of stuff)... [20:10] OvermindDL1, ok I am puzzled then and if no one else can ferret through this issue also log on to the ##linux channel for a broader base of info [20:10] isn't there one specializes for the net book tho?

What are the keywords i could look for?

[20:37] what is the cups interface [20:37] If i deleted a user and group and now want it back, can i just restore /etc/passwd, /etc/group and /etc/shadow from /etc/passwd-, /etc/group- and /etc/shadow-. Or is that a silly idea? [20:37] jskripac, in a browser, type localhost:631 [20:38] ok thanks [20:38] Does any one know where i can get a popup blocker for ubuntu 10.10? Or has anyone ever had pop ups on there system? [20:38] does open ports in my network pose any threat [20:38] jake_, what web browser? [20:38] adblock is good for firefox/chrome [20:39] jake_, Depends on the browser. Firefox has adblock plus plugin. [20:39] Fire fox [20:39] what does this mean A username and password are being requested by http://localhost:631.

[20:40] how can someone gain access my network through my open ports [20:40] hi [20:40] !backup [20:40] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [20:41] pls help how do i close open ports on my network [20:41] Like spam types stuff that i get from like facebook and like myyearbook there like the courser pop ups for stuff or like gambeling ones too [20:41] Wow i just used like to much [20:41] in that last answer [20:41] LOL [20:41] jskripac, I think that's the username and pw of your login. Since it's a website based on your local machine, anyone can log into it from any account. [20:42] thanx [20:42] hi i have a little problem, i try to install some multitouch software. but i get an compile error "no package libutouch-geis" found. is there a package for ubuntu? i found nothing with apt-cache search libutouch [20:42] But i don't want pop ups period depending if i know what it is i want to choose to turn it on and off [20:42] Anyone do a lot of SSH SOCKS tunneling?

[20:45] S0NiC, Since you have the name of the package, just use synaptic package manager. Google it if it's not there to find out if you need to add another repository. [20:45] So, I'm doing a custom install on my netbook. Focus is on being lightweight and fast on crappy hardware. [20:45] Israfel-Laptop: ok i try it. thx [20:45] Anyone have experience with IceWM and xcompmgr? [20:46] Or should I just go with the heavy WM's and chose Openbox. ;) [20:46] what do you people use for incremental backup to a ssh or ftp server? [20:46] Yeah well i am trying to put ubuntu on a msi netbook [20:47] need help updating my kernel to the latest [20:47] its hard but i found something that some one gave me [20:47] Getting it to run isn't the problem. [20:47] The problem is to make it run smoothly. :) [20:47] pls show me [20:47] hello is there a way to add a song to favorite list in last.fm using decibel audio player?

[20:55] how do i set up my lexmark printer series x2500 [20:55] earthmeLon: distributed servers [20:58] how do i set up my printer [20:58] jskripac: It depends what printer you have [20:58] lexmark 2500 [20:58] jskripac: Have you tried going to system | administration | printing? [20:59] yes [20:59] jskripac: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters [20:59] Try looking around there [21:00] could someone please check and see the owner of the folder /home/.ecryptfs/username/.Private ? === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [21:01] jskripac, There's usually a few things you need, a cupswrapper driver, lpd, libraries, (depends on it's 32bit or 64 bit Ubuntu) etc. === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [21:01] j' === Guest81795 is now known as warrenachild [21:01] hello!! [21:02] how is everyone? [21:03] is there someone out there who is availible for helping me set up a mail server with ubuntu? [21:03] I am a n00b to this and wan to host my own e-mail [21:03] Is there any reason why dig would show one IP address for a domain while PING shows another? [21:06] earthmelon: Maybe a non-static ip adress ? === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [21:07] warrenachild: I've never done this, but I did read that people like postfix more than sendmail. So maby a google search on postfix tutorial? [21:07] thanks agent [21:08] warrenachild: no problem, I sure someone else on here is a guru with setting up an email server... NUDGE NUDGE. Right guys! haha :) [21:08] they must all be busy ;) [21:09] agentgasmask, try #ubuntu-server [21:09] nerdster77, you might take a gander at this: http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz [21:09] hi, how can i make a folder on my desktop delete protected? [21:09] warrenachild: haha, yeah. Sereously, these fine folks are quite good at helping other fine folks like yourself, so just wait and someone will answer. [21:09] Like that... === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [21:10] warren setting up a email server is a bit of a process [21:10] brontoeee: warrenachild was the one asking about it. I will forward it allong [21:10] do you have a domain registered [21:10] what do you people use for incremental backup to a ssh or ftp server? [21:11] brontoeee: Rsync [21:11] yes [21:11] curently trying simple backup tool [21:11] I have a domain [21:11] agentgasmask, yeah, something gui based i need [21:12] jdeslaur_: yes I do have a domain registered [21:12] and I have it routed to my IP address [21:12] with mx and dns records? [21:12] I have a website hosted as well, and I got that working fine [21:12] I am not familier with dx [21:12] mx [21:12] I mean but DNS works [21:13] cu guys thx [21:13] are you running bind 9 or whatever? [21:13] never herd of it [21:13] lol like I said I am a complete noob [21:13] who is managing your dns? [21:13] well, at e-mail server n e ways [21:14] hi [21:14] I am going though a free web routing company [21:14] brontoeee: rsync's manual looks looming, but it realy is just: rsync -a -z --delete -e ssh REMOTE-USER@REMOTEHOST:REMOTE-TARGET [21:14] warrenachild: there is a set of instructions on how to set up postfix from the ubuntu community here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix Once you get your dns, etc, sorted, that a look there [21:14] agentgasmask, i know rsync and its limitations [21:15] it is a company so when you type in my address it forwards you to my ip [21:15] brontoeee: ok, then why were you asking for a backup solution if you already know what you need? [21:15] agentgasmask, i know its NOT rsync [21:15] IIRC all you need to do is create some mx records and have them point to the server and as long as those jive and the network is all set up it should, theoretically, work [21:15] Hey guys. I want to setup an easy to use CD Ripping program for a relative that's not terribly computer literate right now. The wiki says Sound Juicer is the best one but not for MP3s which is my target format (since it uses GStreamer). What's a good CD Ripper that allows for ripping MP3s that won't intimidate somebody? [21:15] or at least not only rsync + i would like a gui app ... [21:15] brontoeee: what don't you like about rsync? === rickh is now known as Guest36048 [21:16] brontoeee: ok, I think there is a GUI front end to rsync, let me check... === Guest36048 is now known as rickh [21:17] warrenachild: there is a big difference between a web host that forwards your IP address and an actual DNS entry. When you type in "host yourhostnamehere.com" does it give you your IP address or the address of the routing company? [21:17] And another question: What is "bad" about using gstreamer with lame? [21:17] warrenachild: where "yourhostnamehere.com" is your actual host name, of course :) [21:17] brontoeee: it looks like it is called grsync. I've never used it, but it's worth a shot. [21:17] where i can see user list in xchat? [21:17] xhat gnome [21:18] mbeierl: good question I have never looked [21:18] agentgasmask, then there is cron and all the backup logic i would need to write? grsync is just a basic gui for rsync [21:18] Hi, is the ubuntu installer supposed to have network support? I.e if i drop out to a shell should the NIC be up? busbox doesnt seem to support ifconfig so not sure how to tell [21:18] warrenachild: I should also mention that a lot of internet service providers frown upon you running your own email server. It is also a real pain to keep yourself up to date with anti-spam etc. I long ago gave up hosting my own email server as it was just a huge drain [21:18] tntcoda...busybox is not the same as bash [21:19] if you dropped to bash then you would have network support....busybox doesn't [21:19] mbeierl: it is all for learning and experiance. I might have to do it for a business some day [21:19] brontoeee: Are you looking to backup specific files, or a full system backup? [21:19] Monotoko, ok thanks but the ubuntu installer drops to busybox by default, does that mean it doenst support networking? or is bash there somewhere [21:19] tntcoda, dropping to busybox usually suggests a problem with booting the kernel [21:19] i'm trying to see if i can root a samsung galaxy s using ubuntu. google is not forthcoming. apparently it can be done by flashing something called cf-root but all instructions for this assume using windows. it can be done with heimdall but i draw a blac [21:20] agentgasmask, specific folders + home folder [21:20] nk for the specifics [21:20] Monotoko, ok this is the option "execute a shell" from the installer menu [21:20] warrenachild: ok. Just as long as you are aware of all the headaches that can come long too. You also need to be aware of security risks and make sure you don't accidentally become a mail relay and get used for sending out spam for someone else [21:20] brontoeee: the nice thing about rsync, is that it only copies the changes made to a file, and not the entire file for just the little change. [21:21] tntcoda...you can't do much until you boot the kernel...executing a shell from the installer certainly won't be able to do much [21:21] annecy: Do Odin have a Linux version? [21:21] brontoeee: Setting up something like that would not be hard. It would basicly be a one-liner. [21:21] agentgasmask, ok, but what if i need a file the way it was 3 days ago? [21:21] warrenachild: I should also mention that postfix is just the delivery side. Dovecot is the name of the software that provides the ability to serve up mail as IMAP or POP3. [21:22] Monotoko, ok thanks a lot - in perspective this a vmware VM installing ubuntu from a PXE boot and im giving it a preseed file which is supposed to be obtained over HTTP. So would it be a sensible assumption that that will fail as networking will be down? I have no idea if Ubuntu is meant to fetch the preseed config or if the PXE server is [21:22] warrenachild: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot [21:22] hello all... [21:22] mbeierl: okay so is the mx record local or is it external like DNS? [21:22] h-dee: no and it doesn't work in wine but maybe in virtualbox by tweaking usb and such [21:22] tntcoda: netboot actually uses a DHCP-style protocol, therefore there will be networking support for the purpose of downloading the kernel to boot [21:23] agentgasmask, rsync is a production syncer, nothing more, and even then only one-way route [21:23] if i rip out my vga cable from my computer... ubuntu lucid will still "output" to that cable.. or it will still think i got my monitor connected [21:23] mbeierl, so that is in the PXE server/client right? Not Ubuntu itself? [21:23] warrenachild: it must be external and in DNS or mail cannot get to you from the outside world. [21:23] how does apt manage versioning? somehow it has to know when there is a newer version available, right? but the version strings are not often simple floating point values, there are usually multiple dots, yes? so then .. how does it decide which is newer? [21:23] is there some command to run to make it understand it is not connected? [21:23] annecy: That was my least priority. What is this cf-root exactly? Some flashing app...similar to odin? [21:23] tntcoda: yes. Gimme a second if you want some PXE howto stuff... [21:24] so the DNS routs my website to my computer...would it not rout mail to me to fnd the MX record? [21:24] h-dee: cf-root is a modified kernel that allows the flashing of custom firmwares === gabraham is now known as ulyssys [21:25] mbeierl, ok thanks a lot - it's very strange because the PXE server never pulls the config down from my web sever, even though ive cloned the syntax from example configs. I just pass preseed/url=http://... very strange, but if that should work then i will have to double check :) [21:25] the mx record needs to be set up on your dns server that is routing the website as well [21:25] I have more Ubuntu computers than I can count....could I set up some kind of local DNS and add a TLD (example.dan) so I can get to them all using TLD instead of local IP's? [21:25] h-dee: heimdall is an open-source alternative to odin that has come out recently [21:25] tntcoda: sorry - my pxeboot computer is remote and its network is down at the moment. It's going to take a little time for me to remember :) [21:25] annecy: Okay! I haven't played around much with my device, because I was afraid of losing my warranty. Updated firmware via Kies after a LOT OF head-banging. Anyways, thanks for the info. :-) [21:26] h-dee: i have heimdall installed but i am not sure which arguments to pass to it [21:26] yee xhat better :D [21:26] xchat [21:26] tntcoda: here was the forum thread that I was using to help me get pxe booting working for the school network I help administer: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1112209 [21:26] brontoeee: Yes, I see your point. My backup needs are such that I don't need that dynamic of a setup. You could look at Sun's ZFS. It has a roleback feature that alows you to take "snapshots" in time. They also don't take up much space. [21:26] mbeierl, ok thanks a lot :) will have a read [21:26] tntcoda: note: in that case it was actually an NFS mount, not HTTP for the kernel [21:27] annecy: I'm just checking how exactly it works on google. btw just curious to know...hows ur battery backup with 2.2 compared to 2.1? [21:28] is there some hotkey to issue for ubuntu to "switch display" [21:28] Is there a way to force an update for a caldav shared task list from evolution? [21:28] Squarism, ctrl+alt+left key? [21:28] *right key [21:29] Squarism: switch display how? Like go to external monitor on a laptop? [21:29] mbeierl, exatly [21:29] h-dee: i haven't bought one yet. i'll only buy one if i know i can root it. i hear custom roms improve the battery alot [21:29] Squarism: sadly, not that I have found. What video card do you have? [21:30] Squarism, I think you may have to bind a command to a key pettern [21:30] annecy: A special warning for Galaxy S users if using Heimdall...LOL! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265 [21:30] I can't remember the command to switch though [21:30] mbeierl, i have a laptop with some sort of intel onboard thingy [21:30] annecy: I have one. Its awesome but after firmware update to 2.2. Battery life sucks! [21:30] Monotoko... doesnt seem to work.. [21:31] Squarism: I am so sorry to hear that :) I have the intel graphics too and find it to be finnicky at the best of times. Hang on a moment and I will post up my script that I use to toggle displays [21:31] mbeierl, id love that! [21:31] h-dee: how about using caffeeine for getting longer battery life ? [21:31] does 'sudo update-grub' reinstall grub to mbr/boot partition, or does it just update the menus? [21:32] landingonwater: never heard of it. What exactly is that app's functionality? A task-manager or something like that? [21:32] h-dee: have to admit i haven't read all that thread yet, but from what i could search i saw no mention of cf-root [21:32] h-dee: you can slow down your processor, and gain more batterylife [21:33] landingonwater: Oh! But, seems to me like 1 GHz is optimal. What's your optimal processing speed? [21:33] Squarism: http://pastebin.com/ZPeeym8j === suigeneris is now known as Kartagis [21:34] landingonwater: I'm using lagfix too which also consumes battery. heard from some forums. [21:34] mbeierl, thanx [21:34] besides #hexxeh, anyone know of any IRC channels relating to CR-48 customization (and of course, using ubuntu on it :P) [21:34] will try [21:34] Is there a way to force an update for a caldav shared task list from evolution? [21:34] does wubi include a way to use the Try It featur? [21:34] can i restore my network completely. like start over ? I dont wireless for some time, and now no internet at all. [21:34] feature.. [21:34] seems to be way less representation that I expect around the web [21:34] Squarism: so what that script does is it uses xrandr to query what devices I have attached and then uses xrandr again to push the output to those displays. I currently have both an external VGA and DVI (so two external monitors) [21:35] annecy: Well, I haven't read anything about cf-root yet, but I was horrified with that special bot to SGS users. [21:35] i guess i really screwed something up [21:35] Squarism: I then bound that script to a hot key using compiz settings. [21:36] now if only I could figure out the rest of my intel graphics problems (like it hangs after a couple xrandr mode switches?!?) [21:38] hello [21:39] hello i seem to made a syntaxerror in my /etc/sudoers file [21:39] so now i cant sudo [21:39] ? [21:39] how to enable 2 different languages on ubuntu and that i could change them like in windows with alt+shift or so? [21:40] Hellz_bellz: I think you might have to boot into "rescue mode" then use visudo to edit it. you should always use visudo instead of editing the /etc/sudoers directly [21:40] Hellz_bellz: see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [21:40] Hi, some editors don't have tabs. Can I use workspaces to get around these limitations? [21:41] hi, i'm looking ofr help on mount ext4/nfs4 options thanks [21:41] How can I create a child/parent workspace (gnome [21:41] )? [21:41] Should a preseed file override the standard install options or will there be an extra preseed install option? I.e if i set the lang to english in the preseed, will it just remove that selection screen from the installer? I have no idea if the preseed is working or not :( [21:41] h-dee: i didn't see a bot. check out darky's rom. it's one of the most popular and it shows how to flash cf-root [21:42] how to enable 2 different languages on ubuntu and that i could change them like in windows with alt+shift or so?

Not nessesarily for Ubuntu per-se but in general [21:56] i am able to login via ssh [21:57] run whole bunch of commands [21:57] like, make sure uninstall works [21:57] voodoo719: you can run an application remotely over ssh -X by just typing in its command name. Like to run firefox remotely: "ssh -X user@host" then at the prompt "firefox &" [21:57] including some fancy GUI commands like xclock , xcalc === warren_ is now known as Guest93363 === Nephy is now known as Nepherius [21:57] voodoo719: startx won't work, you can start single X apps though [21:57] Taksas027, did you get the wireless working ? [21:58] voodoo719: I am almost positive startx starts an X server on the remote computer's hardware, not over ssh [21:58] mbeierl: correct [21:58] @mbeierl [21:58] voodoo719: I think you /might/ want to take a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780203 [21:58] hello everyone [21:58] sorry i cud't get your [21:58] point [21:58] Hey guys I don't know what that applet is but the little mailbox looking icon in the top right on the bar in ubuntu 10.10 is there a way to change the Empathy chat button to pidgin ?

[22:00] i removed vlc 1.1.5 from blee launchpad, and want ot install 1.06 again, but apt says the packages are broken [22:00] teamviewer 6 works :P [22:00] how do i fix this [22:00] selig5, in ubuntu it dont work [22:00] cause i need to run the nvidia-developer drivers, and whenever there is a upgrade, it destroys my hardware acceleration [22:01] Taksas027: hmm, works on my Ubuntu 10.10. Don't know what to suggest. [22:01] voodoo719, sound like you want to run xnest ! a desktop in a window ? [22:01] Drainix: you can remove the empathy chat item, but you can't change pidgin to chat (well, not easily anyway, empathy is hardcoded in the indicator code). Just uninstall empathy or delete /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/empathy (which is just a text file that has the path to the empathy .desktop file) [22:02] @edwardteach something like microsoft's remote desktop [22:02] but i seriously don't want to use tight vnc [22:02] is there any solution or i have to or rather be forced to use vnc [22:02] ?

VNC is the "free" choice. Beyond that you have a few options: NoMachine: http://www.nomachine.com/ , or Teamviewer: http://www.teamviewer.com/index.aspx [22:04] voodoo719: I meant there is NO microsoft solution. Remote desktop is MS [22:04] trism: that works (: it also has a pidgin indicator I just didn't want the empathy one there [22:04] voodoo719: sorry - gotta run. best of luck! [22:05] thanks mbeierl [22:05] voodoo719, you can run firefox through ssh -X [22:05] really you helped a lot [22:05] cheers [22:05] In terms of link aggregation with ifenslave; which bonding mode would be best for aggregating two 1000mbit links if the goal is combining the two into one at double bandwidth?

Is the /boot ever needed after system is up? Would it ever need to be re-inserted? [22:07] voodoo719, ssh -X account@192.168.whatever... [22:07] Drainix: I do believe that Pidgin handles file transfers for all its clients [22:08] Drainix: Unless Yahoo went and changed their protocol again. [22:08] hmm [22:08] Maybe it is my error [22:08] no [22:08] But someone sends a file and it asks if i want it and it automaticly cancels [22:09] Drainix: Well I don't use Yahoo at all after they bought and shut down the All-Seeing eye without refunding my life time license so I'm not going to research it. ;) === canon is now known as Acid190 [22:09] BlueEagle: alright (: [22:10] Well another question then in evolution it doesn't give me a place to enter my password lol [22:10] OI , [22:10] can anyone point me in the right direction for link aggregation/bonding? [22:10] Drainix: it will when you do Send and Receive [22:11] oooh okay (: [22:11] Drainix: iirc it'll even give you the option to remember your password [22:11] Drainix: no, I don't know why it's not just on the same page as the username [22:11] Hmm [22:11] Drainix: Evolution is broken beyond use and fundamentally retarded in every aspect of its design [22:12] Anyone know why apache would not start on ubuntu but when you run the init script manually it works? I am using the official ami for amazon ec2. Apache is in my rc2.d [22:12] Maybe they should take it out of the default install of ubuntu (: lol [22:12] I have no idea what the Gnome team or the Ubuntu team were thinking of when they foisted it off on users [22:12] okay suggestion for mail client ?

[22:30] Iron_Chef: No. If you want to keep the same menu entry as default even when new entries are added that change the numbering you can use the full title of the menu entry, like: GRUB_DEFAULT="Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda1)" [22:30] I get error when trying to mount samba share on Lucid from Lucid in CLI, but "connect to server" works fine in nautilus.

It's possible that the drivers that are compatible with the kernel and Xorg version in 10.10 have dropped support for your card, which would mean installing them manually wouldn't help. [23:06] okay [23:06] there is another option [23:06] FloatingGoat: I'm for more information now, as others with the same card have had this same problem. [23:07] español [23:07] I am having a problem finding the locations of gtk+-2.0.pc and webkit-1.0.pc [23:07] I could go back. reinstall 10.04. get the driver. upgrade to 10.10 (which takes hours) are you sure i cant just get the driver on 10.04?

I know I've wondered about it in the past, but I can think of the specific situation [23:31] diden have monitor mode tho so took a friends laptop atm [23:31] My soundcard seems to have lost sound. Is there something in /etc/init.d/ that I can restart in order to possibly restore my sound rather than rebooting my box? [23:31] Dwarg: mine is pavilion tx 1000 [23:31] very likely [23:31] jordan_U: all entries end the same way..
