[00:00] magicianlord, please give me more information [00:00] magicianlord: i started compiz and now the buttons on the top right of app windows are gone? [00:00] alfred, ubuntu server usually runs apache as well, so its same thing/logic [00:00] anyone got a tutorials how to move website from a server to ubuntu server? [00:00] OK this is perplexing. I was recording my desktop using recordmydesktop (in terminal) at 60FPS and it was perfect. I rebooted my computer, and now with the same command its choppy. [00:00] join #Ejdesgaard [00:00] d4rkh4v0k1: ok so that's not the Garmin device lol [00:00] magicianlord: I hit alt-4 on the keypad and my windws snaps to the ledge of the closest thing left... a little faster than alt-f7, left left left.... [00:00] join /#Ejdesgaard [00:00] i guess not [00:00] brontoeee, I am looking for tutorials how to do that... [00:00] how do i close compiz so i get the buttons back [00:00] you are good at helping people I'm impressed ejv [00:01] chaospsychex: you have to resize them [00:01] d4rkh4v0k1: i try my best :p [00:01] pooky: i can see how that's useful [00:01] i don't know how to use compiz, how do i close it [00:01] alfred, there is gazillion ways on how to run a webpage, so be a lil more specific [00:01] magicianlord, where in /boot [00:01] is there a command to close it? [00:01] magicianlord, and which file can you tell me please :) [00:01] chaospsychex: go into appearance settings [00:01] chaospsychex: if you're using gnome, metacity --replace [00:01] alfred: i suggest you successfully get apache2,php,perl,etc. running on the new server, then rsync your files from the old one to the new one [00:01] d4rkh4v0k1: I tried your suggestion, and got a lot of articles about enabling compiz and using docks :P [00:01] brontoeee, I have a server, and I want to move my sites from that X server to a new server [00:02] morphyeys: you have to update one file and then run grub-update indirectly. it's not that simple, depending on what you want to do? [00:02] the most eyecandy I do now is occasionally fire up xcompmgr for drop shadows, then I realize it's leaving artifacts everywhere and kill it [00:02] ejv , yes I got all setup in the new server. but I need CLI tuts how to do that [00:02] :D [00:02] I use to geek out on all that stuff : ) my co-workers would make fun of me for how crazy my computer was [00:02] alfred: and god forbid you're managing actual customers, make sure you have backups, and you notify them of any outages [00:02] 48 seconds to debian rc2 :) [00:02] all in good fun of course : ) [00:02] alfred, adress the channel please, since you didnt tell anything new the 3rd time allready... [00:03] magicianlord, I want to install windows xp on other partition and use windows loader, but not grub to choose the OS between them? === Afrix2 is now known as Afrix [00:03] d4rkh4v0k1: yeah, I've tried several bits of eyecandy, and ran compiz for some time, but really, it was just a distraction from my real need. I like things to be elegant, not flashy. [00:03] Yes, I want to move customers website from one server to another one, is there some clear tutorials which will help me to do that ? [00:03] I think the fanciest thing I've installed lately is redeye or whatever [00:03] to adjust the white balance of my display at night [00:04] morphyeys: you should read some guides online for that. you typiclaly have to install windows first, then install ubuntu, and let grub select [00:04] I did setup my new server properly and I installed ISPconfig 3 [00:04] Yeah, that's the way I am. I have an aspire one netbook and it's not powerful enough to hang with the "REAL" compouters lol [00:04] in the old one there is Cpanel [00:04] alfred: start by reading the ubuntu community docs on apache2 (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP) followed by learning rsync (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync) that should get you going. we don't support ispconfig 3 here. [00:04] pooky: have you tried debian rc2? [00:04] d4rkh4v0k1: oh, this box has like 6G of ram, and a decent processor. It's real enough, it's just not a gaming rig :P [00:04] magicianlord: I have not, why? [00:04] magicianlord, but I install ubuntu first and I read one article and I need to know where is the grub.bin? [00:05] http://pastebin.com/VtQpwjFY, my dev/sda3 is not mounted after reboot, what should i do? i added uid=1000, gid=1000 manually [00:05] d4rkh4v0k1: `sudo lshw -short` -> pastebin. [00:05] xorwhy: i did that command you suggested and it worked and didn't work [00:06] after i typed 'metacity --replace' it didn't go to a new command line === eoss_ is now known as eoss [00:06] ejv, good source to start, thx [00:06] chaospsychex: unless you put an & at the end it won't [00:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/558333/ [00:07] (that post is for ejv ) [00:07] alfred: don't shift servers and interrupt your customers until you're absolutely sure the other soon-to-be production environment is working 100%. that includes PHP, Perl, Ruby, etc. whatever your customers may use on your server. [00:07] how do i become op? [00:07] O.o [00:07] damnsmalllinux23: where?

[00:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/558335/ Okay, this is the first one [00:10] I was following a tutorial on bonding nics and it had me remove the 'network-manager' and I now have a need to re-install it, so I put the ubuntu cd on a usb drive (as the ubuntu machine doesn't have a cd-rom); How do I re-install network manager? I read a couple things that said you just click on the .deb of the package to install, but I don't see any network packages [00:10] d4rkh4v0k1: do -class disk as well [00:11] are you excited for debian 6? [00:11] My wireless card isn't reporting connection percent, how can i fix this? it's a BCM4312 [00:11] soon the father that became the son will be father again [00:11] d4rkh4v0k1: ahhh now we're in business [00:11] d4rkh4v0k1: looks like it thinks Garmin is a flash storage device, `sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb` [00:12] Elad 'sudo apt-get install network manager' ? have you tried synaptic as well ?

[00:12] chaospsychex, I don't have internet access after rebooting, so apt-get isn't working [00:13] sorry for flooding :| [00:13] d4rkh4v0k1: hehe np so you have your answer it looks like your GPS is /dev/sdb [00:13] chaospsychex, I don't have any network interfaces when I do ifconfig [00:13] Elad: wow, your in a pickle then [00:13] chaospsychex, and this is only after removing the network-manager [00:13] whoah, okay, ill check it out. Thanks for helping [00:13] Elad: you can't re-install the package from the ubuntu install cd? [00:13] Elad: what is it [00:14] do you need help connecting with wifi [00:14] ? [00:14] d4rkh4v0k1: np, im just interpreting the output, looks like sdb is it [00:14] I don't have a cd-rom to put in the machine (and it doesn't have one) [00:14] wired nic [00:14] magicianlord: he removed 'network manager' [00:14] thank you [00:14] oh [00:14] he needs to re-install it [00:14] network manager is the front end. it should still connect you, as long as you bring up the interface [00:14] Elad: ifconfig -a [00:15] how do i run wow from the guest session of x [00:15] just because you remove some gtk network app, doesn't mean all network connectivity goes bye-bye... [00:15] that's insanity [00:15] ifconfig -a shows eth0-eth32 [00:15] i start up in user guest and their is no world of warcraft icon so how do i run it or is it possible [00:15] not sure how that many showed up [00:15] 32?? [00:16] tbruff13: use a terminal, wine /path/to/wow.exe [00:16] I have 3 mics on the machine [00:16] anyone know anything about the kernel ppa? [00:16] mics = nics [00:16] I am having serious issues with my intel i915 staying running for more than a couple hours. X keeps locking up when I use xrandr (which happens with every suspend/resume cycle). I am looking at the ubuntu kernel ppa to see if there's anything new - there seems to be with the drm-intel-next, but I'm not sure if I can use the kernel ppa with maverick as it appears to be lucid-based. [00:16] ejv: try removing plymouh from ubuntu [00:16] Elad: ok sudo ifconfig eth0 up and so on [00:16] Elad: do you use dhcp? [00:16] magicianlord: i would if i ran ubuntu [00:16] ;) [00:16] Is packaging in ubuntu as easy as it is in arch? [00:17] yes [00:17] ohhh!!! [00:17] hehe [00:17] Elad yes? [00:17] Elad: on eth0? [00:17] stephenmac7: yes, but apt is slower [00:17] YMMV [00:17] magicianlord: how? [00:17] !packaging > stephenmac7 [00:17] stephenmac7, please see my private message [00:17] stephenmac7: what do you mean, how [00:17] stephenmac7: it takes longer to process the package and install it [00:18] is it possible to run wow from guest for better preformance if so how [00:18] stephenmac7: essentially, but instead of one file, there are multiple, and to build a proper package that conforms to standards, that may require some extra leg work [00:18] !repeat > tbruff13 [00:18] tbruff13, please see my private message [00:18] tbruff13: I just told you how :/ [00:18] stephenmac7: i use both ubuntu and arch [00:18] That is why my nick usually is arch_is_awesome === stephenmac7 is now known as arch_is_awesome [00:19] magicianlord why does ubuntu use apt then? [00:19] Why not pacman? [00:19] jrib, no i now know how to run guest but when i get their there are no icons. im so sorry if i missed your earlier post my parents called me away to eat lol really sorry though [00:19] because they do [00:19] Elad: after you get up nic with sudo ifconfig eth0...1....2 up and so on try sudo dhclient eth0 or eth1 ...depends in wich card you have cable conneceted [00:19] tbruff13: use a terminal, wine /path/to/wow.exe [00:19] can someone connect to my computer so that i can have help [00:19] What do you mean? [00:20] filo1234, I just found one on eth7 [00:20] There has to be a reason, right? [00:20] arch_is_awesome: its very debateable which package manager i 'better' but for consistency they may as well not change [00:20] yes, there is [00:20] like connect through ip and view my computer as i do something for help [00:20] what can i do about not having the tscc codec able to work with linux? [00:20] arch_is_awesome: also it came from debian so i suppose thats why [00:20] hello, i have a newly installed system with an ati card, i downloaded the fglrx tool but its no working. when i look in hardware drivers, it says there are noone in use [00:20] oh okay [00:20] Elad: argh ok Elad gksudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [00:20] So I should ask that to debian? [00:20] thanks [00:21] ratpit: what did you download? [00:21] Elad: remove all entries..... [00:21] Elad: and reboot [00:21] jsec, fglrx [00:21] filo1234, looks like it has 3 entries (which is how many nics I have) [00:21] Okay then thanks! [00:21] filo1234, still remove and reboot?

[00:23] can someone help me? [00:23] filo1234, they look like it. looks like they are eth0, eth7, eth32..which is probably why things go so high. think if I remove them that they will renumber to eth0, eth1, eth2? [00:23] Anyone know how i can change the color depth to 16 on ubuntu 10.04? [00:23] filo1234, or can I just manually rename them and reboot? [00:23] Elad: yes [00:23] Elad: you can rename eth1 eth2 in that file [00:23] I deleted all folder of mysql and php so that I can remove the lampserver, to install it again, now I can't do anything [00:24] can someone help me? :S [00:24] I'm a really noob :s [00:24] filo1234, I just removed them and am rebooting [00:24] ok [00:25] Elad: after reboot the entrie will recreate correctly [00:25] entries* [00:25] jsec, when i try to open the ati catalys control center it says no adapter cards i nuse on this system, and when i look in under system>admin>hardware drivers, nothing shows p [00:25] up* [00:26] filo1234, how did you know about that section? I would have never found that [00:26] ratpit: what kind of card do you have?

[00:28] ratpit: fglrx discontinued support for that card. :( [00:29] jsec, any ideas on what I can do now? [00:30] it did the same thing [00:30] ratpit: buy an nvidia. much better support than ati. (coming from someone that just fought for two days to get compiz+fglrx working on his mobility radeon 3200) [00:30] eth0-eth32 [00:30] ;) [00:30] I will try renaming them in the file [00:30] ratpit: otherwise you're stuck with the regular "ati" driver that comes with X. [00:30] jrib, hey i tried wine /home/tbruff13/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/World of Warcraft/Wow.exe [00:30] jsec, how do i get that back?

[00:33] ratpit: i'd imagine opening synaptic and removing any fglrx packages would be sufficient, but i don't want to mislead you and bork your system as i've never had to do it before. [00:34] Elad: say me output of ifconfig -a [00:34] how many card give it? [00:34] jrib, this was it wine c:/Program Files/World of Warcraft/Wow.exe (on next line) wine: cannot find 'c:/Program' [00:35] i don't undertstand if it say eth0-eth32 or eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 [00:35] filo1234, 1 second [00:35] tbruff13: that's not a path in your filesystem.

Now, in Ubuntu 10.10, nomodeset (as it says) keeps GDM from starting because it cannot set the video mode. It doesn't work without both options, and doesn't work when I boot Ubuntu in any of the recovery modes.

GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged.." [00:56] <_Sketch_> Spreadsheet: Probably not, no.

I'm trying for a little more of a retro feel, and I'd like to get rid of the icons in my Gnome menu. Can anyone confirm that you CAN'T do this anymore? [01:26] jsec: would be in system > Preferences > Appearance but I don't see how to disable the icons [01:27] jsec, UbuntuTweak has a "Show icons in menus" option - BUT it only seems to work for the System menu? [01:27] gpc: there used to be an "Interface" tab where you could tick the option to disable them.... seems to be gone now. [01:27] ZykoticK9, yeah i noticed the same thing. [01:27] jsec: maybe in gconf-editor ? [01:28] jsec: maybe, try gnome channels, maybe clean (not ubuntu) gnome still can, otherwise apps shares, maybe. [01:28] the gconf-editor value is the same one altered by UbuntuTweak. "menus_have_icons" only seems to apply to the System menu. [01:30] i have some python libs in /usr/local/lib/python2.6, that's not the default system python, is it? [01:30] If I run a command that removed a whole bunch of dependencies (hundreds) that I didn't want to include by accident - the command is "removing..." right now, is there ANY way to undo this ? [01:31] richardr: just reinstall the app you removed, they should be reinstalled if they're its dependencies [01:31] gpc: ZykoticK9: confirmed by the forums. that gconf key was how you could remove the icons, and that key changed somehow back at 9.10 [01:32] oh well, was hoping i could. [01:32] jsec, thanks for the update - sorry it's bad news. [01:32] jsec: maybe installing gnome-desktop-environment and then disabling the icons [01:33] gpc: what's the difference between that and the Gnome prepackaged with ubuntu? [01:34] jsec: the one that comes with Ubuntu is ubuntuized [01:34] branding and such other changes like not being able to disable the icons [01:34] My External DVD writer can't be detected by brasero.... i plan to burn images [01:35] Anyone know a good channel for amateur coders to casually embarass themselves in front of other amateur coders?

I don't have ssh access to that machine anymore - that is the problem :) [02:12] its a bash script [02:12] and if i remove the /2 it runs every hour fine [02:12] Diamondcite: all I got is filesystem level access [02:12] i can't manage to find the remote host name [02:12] once i readd it never seems to exec [02:13] tcurdt: I need ssh to log SOME sort of error in the syslogs.. else it's hard to tell... [02:13] i have access to both machines [02:13] tcurdt: Or you can read the ssh logs.. or messages from your /var/log [02:13] dextro_: that's what it should do so what's the problem [02:13] Nightpenguin: Okay, is port 22 open on the remote machine? [02:14] Ello peoples, everyone enjoying the monsoon? well near me it is anyways [02:14] Diamondcite: I can ... but nothing in there [02:14] Diamondcite: yes [02:14] tcurdt: No mention of sshd? [02:14] Nightpenguin: What happens when you try?

[02:24] i am used to not having menu bars on my windows but I also don't really want to use a full gnome panel. wish there was another option... is there anything like globalmenu that acts as a button that drops down the menu items in a list? [02:25] bhuey, oh you blew away the stuff grub needs to see how to list the two partitions? [02:25] Photocopy: I'm not sure but maybe create a new user so that it will be set to default settings and login to that user.

[03:29] uh. honestly, i dont know :( [03:30] !vnc [03:30] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[04:04] jtannenbaum: ifconfig -a will show you your interface name [04:05] jtannenbaum: or iwconfig is even better. [04:05] apparently it was wlan0. But when I try ifdown again: ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured [04:05] maybe it's a hardware issue.. just got the labtop a couple days ago [04:06] I'm still connected with wireless it seems [04:06] i tried ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.105 and it said Permission Denied [04:07] ao8000: put a sudo in fron [04:07] ao8000: put a sudo in front === taka is now known as Guest28321 [04:08] hey where can i get aircrack-ng help??

[04:14] Jeruvy: thank you [04:15] van7hu, do you want to disable gnome entirely or just login to a terminal for your user? [04:16] van7hu, there is an option on the login screen to login to a terminal session [04:16] it's mark as "fail safe...",I do not sure about this,is it a normal "tty"? [04:17] van7hu, ah you might be thinking of recovery mode/single user mode [04:17] van7hu, do you want to log in with true text mode? Like disable GDM? [04:17] wildtellect : yes,is that right ? [04:18] i formatted my hard-drive and would like to recover my files can anyone please suggest a way out [04:18] bjhaid, what file system did you have on it?

PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage.

[04:24] but , could I start gnome later by Ctrl-Alt-F7 ? [04:24] bjhaid, look at the list on http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Livecd pick one of the LiveCDs to try, download, burn and boot machine [04:25] bjhaid, plug in another HD external or internal to try and copy the rescued files off the deleted drive [04:25] sCOTTo: Sounds like you want remote desktop. [04:26] thanks [04:26] BlueBomber7: yes [04:26] sCOTTo: might be ssh -X allows that [04:27] * sCOTTo is VERY used to his ubuntu GUI.... in an unhealthy kind of way.... unlike his CentOS / cPanel server... which is mostly done by CLI for major stuff.... [04:27] sCOTTo, personally I use VNC over SSH [04:27] pksadiq: ssh -x is the command ? [04:27] I agree with pksadiq's suggestion. You can forward your X windows over ssh; that's actually what I do. [04:27] sCOTTo, vncviewer -via "USER@HOST -p PORT" localhost:0 [04:27] Is there any way to show actual read/write times to a USB drive? it showed it taking just a couple secounds, but now its tell me "Writing data to " [04:27] sCOTTo: ssh -X is the command, X is in capitals [04:27] sCOTTo: www.nomachine.com [04:27] need ssh & vnc installed [04:28] use the freenx server.

I have a feeling it has to do with the mirrored software raid on which the boot disk resides. Any idea how to troubleshoot/fix this? [04:33] all I got was pages that said this project does not use launchpad [04:33] I'm planning to write a quick text file that I will delete after using. Is this a good situation to save it to /dev/null? (I've never used /dev/null before) [04:33] I tried a fresh install twice using these directions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID [04:34] EnigmaticCoder: no [04:34] EnigmaticCoder: save it to /tmp [04:34] Ah, ty [04:34] EnigmaticCoder: /dev/null is a special file itself, not a directory [04:34] anything you write to it will be discarded instantly [04:34] Thanks and cheers [04:34] :) [04:34] np [04:34] b4|hraban: since it is not a but you may want to go here: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ [04:35] sam-_- : are you still here ?

[05:42] blue_pearl: I used to have that same problem. It seemed to be only over wifi trying to remember what I did to fix it. Worked fine wifi in windows on same box. Let me think for a bit. [05:42] jhansonxi: yeah it's present. [05:43] jhansonxi: ty [05:43] histo, u r right buddy i am over wifi....when i connect via ethernet and set up dsl connection then it works fine [05:43] blue_pearl, first identify your wireless chip. Open a terminal window and enter "lspci" or "lsusb" depending on how the device is connected. [05:43] blue_pearl: It had something to do with winbind [05:43] blue_pearl: you using winbind? [05:43] Hmm, why is the installer still setting up an EFIboot partition when I have disabled EFI support in the VM settings? [05:44] blue_pearl: and specifying wins in the /etc/nsswitch.conf that was the problem. Got rid of wins and all was okay.

[05:50] kripz, with Grub one it was a complicated manual process of doing each drive separately. [05:52] jhansonxi, can u tell me how to check which wirless driver i have installed in my laptop [05:55] The command "lsmod" will tell you which kernel modules are loaded. Wireless network drivers are usually kernel modules (I don't know about ndiswrapper). The GUI tool "jockey-gtk" which is in the desktop menu at System > Administration > Hardware Drivers (Ubuntu/Gnome) will tell you. [05:55] im trying to delete a folder and it says Permission denied.

[05:56] soreau, thanx [05:57] its a folder of a game i have installed. [05:57] grigoriades: Assuming it's because of permissions, use sudo [05:57] grigoriades: sudo rm -r /path/to/folder [05:57] ok [05:57] thanks [05:58] blue_pearl, what soreau said works. Also you can use "lshw" if it is installed. Because the output is long either run it from a terminal window that can scroll or use "lshw | pager". === Kira is now known as k_sze [06:01] good morning ubuntu [06:07] why dont ubuntu let me open some folders,it says im not the owner.

I suspect the latter is the owner. [06:10] im quite confuse now... ubuntu 10.10 is asking You require GTK+ 2.4.0 or newer development headers installed to compile [06:10] in windows i am loged on as amin,and in windows i can look at any folder [06:10] smiley2, and in windows you got free virus, spam , spyware, antivurs, no security...... === Guest43470 is now known as hjkl [06:11] smiley2, http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [06:11] how do i log in as admin in ubuntu ?

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 [06:12] scriptwarlock, what are you actually doing? [06:12] AbhiJit, do we have the updated gtk+ 2.4.0 in meerkat?

[06:13] hi all. on 10.04, I have nm-applet running, but the wireless indicator sometimes shows and sometimes doesn't... is there some way to set it to always show? [06:13] What on earth? I'm still getting an EFI shell. [06:13] i guess what im saying is..in windows i have full control.. [06:13] Even though I disabled the EFI option of the VM. [06:13] AbhiJit, yeah but its says on the configure.in that it requires glib2.0 but i installed already the -dev and everything [06:14] nvm [06:14] something went really wrong [06:14] AbhiJit, i mean glib2.4.0 [06:14] scriptwarlock, try on that softwares forum/maililist or irc channel for help [06:14] AbhiJit, kk [06:14] AbhiJit, ty [06:15] can anyone tell me what --sm-disable does in nm-applet's startup command? [06:15] smiley2: You can use gksu nautilus to have admin access to all parts of your system. [06:15] smiley2, Linux root=Windows administrator. To get root access on Ubuntu do "sudo ". For the file manager in Ubuntu (Gnome) try "sudo nautilus". [06:15] ok,thanks [06:15] smiley2, open up a terminal window (under accessories) and type in the command. For direct root access in a terminal use "sudo su". [06:16] oh and i installed a temp sensor from software manager but it wont work [06:16] it dont display anything [06:16] jhansonxi, smiley2 DON'T use "sudo su"! if you really must become root use "sudo -i" [06:17] Does anyone know if Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition is 32-bit or 64-bit? I can't seem to find that bit of info anywhere. Thanks. [06:17] smiley2, you need to detect the sensors. Do a "sudo sensors-detect". Say yes to everything including the part at the end about adding the modules. Reboot and the sensors should be functional if your chipset is supported. [06:17] concon, each edition comes in two forms 32 and 64 [06:18] concon, you can check your is which one by doing uname -a [06:18] and paste here the output [06:18] ok,i will do that right now... [06:18] conner, ^^^^ [06:18] The Netbook edition didn't give an option. But I'll do that, one moment. [06:18] I have installed ubuntu10.04 last night, but the sound is not working properly. When i put on my speakers there is sound and the sound can be heared through the earphones but there is no sound when i unplug the speakers. Mine is a hp g72 laptop [06:18] ZykoticK9, what's the difference? My own tests only showed that "sudo -s" or "sudo /bin/sh" caused problems. I've used "sudo su" for years.

"sudo -i" is sets the environment variable properly [06:19] conner, i686 = 32bit [06:19] conner, the operating system you areu sing is 32 bit [06:19] The i686 indicates 32-bit, right? [06:19] conner, right [06:19] ok how do i close the terminal wit out closing the application? [06:19] That's what I thought. Thanks. [06:20] I have installed ubuntu10.04 last night, but the sound is not working properly. When i put on my speakers there is sound and the sound can be heared through the earphones but there is no sound when i unplug the speakers. Mine is a hp g72 laptop [06:20] swazzy, look into the "screen" program [06:20] ZykoticK9, do you mean HOME? [06:20] jhansonxi, just don't use (or suggest) "sudo su" [06:21] Hey guys, I'm messing around with some Java programming for a class. Does OpenJDK differ greatly from Oracle/Sun's version?

S 0:00 nm-applet --sm-disable) [06:25] swazzy, "screen" lets you start something then close the shell and keep it running [06:25] So I found this link to get my mousepad to work, http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150077 but I'm not sure how to follow the steps to edit the files or something so would someone please walk me through the steps?

[06:39] xiven: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic, that isn't really an ubuntu support question :\ [06:39] ok [06:39] Nibsa1242, what is your current hard drive setup? [06:39] rww: $ software-center [06:39] ? [06:40] jhansonxi, I've tried update-grub from the rescue console . . . Grub wasn't installed. So I installed it at the rescue. Grub refused to install onto /dev/md0 [06:40] cardamon, /boot needs to be evern bigger with debug kernels loaded. [06:40] Vizzle, nibsa1242, you know there's boot recovery tools out there that'll recover MBR [06:40] asdfqwer, even with dd? [06:40] jhansonxi: Mouse still doesn't work or anything... [06:40] dd? [06:41] cardamon: yup [06:41] nibsa1242, strange. It's been a while since I set up my md-raid/lvm2/dm-crypt system so I can't remember what I did with grub. [06:41] I forget the name of the tool, but I've done this several times [06:41] asdfqwer, dd if=/dev/zero [06:41] /dev/zero? [06:41] I'm also curious why the update manager comes up every day, requesting to download between 8-25MB? [06:41] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=446 count=1 [06:42] rww: http://pastebin.com/krKQhi4G All of a sudden it's not working. [06:42] Vizzle its just a simple raid 1. /dev/md0 is a 1GB partition for /boot ; /dev/md1 is a large lvm which has a 25GB partition for / , a 2GB parition for swap, and a 975GB partition for /home [06:42] As in, it was working before I ran that command to add the partner. [06:42] nibsa1242: are you having an issue dual booting with raid? [06:42] asdfqwer, I've tried rescatux, it failed to detect the raid setup properly [06:42] asdfqwer, if you want to wipe MBR+partitions then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 [06:42] I see [06:42] cardamon: one sec, looking into it [06:43] chat pvt [06:43] nibsa1242, how many physical devices total? [06:43] Sounds like a loss if that's the case, considering the partitions have been wiped [06:43] asdfqwer, no, no dual boot... simple single boot into ubuntu... alternate installer failed to install GRUB [06:43] rww: I think I did something wrong...gimee a sec...aha [06:43] what is the most convenient media center that runs on ubuntu and support IPTV [06:44] xiven: You can set how often update-manager checks for updates (by clicking )Settings in update-manager [06:44] Vizzle just 2 1TB HD... so 2 physical devices total in a RAID 1 (this is backup / fileserver) [06:44] QUESTION: not able to login after assigning /home to new partition in fstab and deleting the user folder in home . what to do? [06:44] asdfqwer, i thought the setup was the following: boot hdd, raid array(x HDDs) [06:44] I'm actually running a Windows software RAID 0 and boot from another HD, nibsa1242, is this similar to your case? [06:44] Poshepocket, I have a laptop with similar issues. I remember messing with that same module but didn't get it functioning on Ubuntu Karmic. I haven't tried anything newer yet. Been to busy. Try searching for bug reports on it in launchpad. Search with Google for "site:launchpad.net i8042". [06:44] what DE has Ubuntu Server& [06:44] I can mount my Windows partition fine from ubuntu [06:44] asdfqwer, no, because I'm running a Linux software raid (mdadm) [06:45] X-Raimo: Ubuntu Server doesn't use Xorg at all by default. If you want, you can install any DE that Ubuntu's repositories have. [06:45] nibsa1242: okay so windows is already installed? [06:45] asdfqwer, your raid probably uses dmraid to deal with the fakeraid of Windows software raid [06:45] thauriswulfa: Boot into recovery mode and create a user [06:45] i see [06:45] asdfqwer, this computer will never have windows on it [06:45] there is no sound after instaling ubuntu 10.04 i my hp g72 notebook pc............ [06:45] soreau: how to create a new user from terminal? [06:45] rww: Is KDE4 supported? [06:45] cardamon: looks like that error generally comes up if you add a new repository incorrectly. might try removing the relevant line/file from /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (I forget which add-apt-repository uses these days) and redo. [06:46] olzz someone help mmeeeeeeeeee [06:46] X-Raimo: yes [06:46] nibsa1242: when do you get the error can you pastebin the log? [06:46] X-Raimo: you can install whatever window manager you want. [06:46] rww: what about LTSP on server& [06:46] nibsa1242, I think the idea with Grub2 is that telling it to install on md0 causes it to search for the parent devices (sda? sdb?) and install it there accordingly. [06:46] Blank screen problem - hoping for some advice. [06:46] I just made an desktop installation CD (from the .iso) that can also be used to try it out without installing. [06:46] It boots and works fine as far as giving me the screen where I can choose to either run it or install it ... [06:46] but when I try to run it I end up on a blank screen (except for the mouse pointer, which i can move around). [06:46] I don't think it's a graphics card/driver issue, as the previous page looked normal, plus i can see the mouse. [06:46] Could this just be a problem with trying it out, which might go away if I choose to install it, or could there be some hardware issue? [06:46] BTW I also ran the option to check the files on the CD, which said it was fine. [06:46] TipsyDever: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:46] !ltsp | X-Raimo [06:46] X-Raimo: LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project [06:46] asdfqwer, there really isn't a log... it is a Grub 15 error [which is from an old grub from the previous Debian install] [06:46] thauriswulfa: adduser username [06:47] Ah I see [06:47] X-Raimo: I've never used LTSP, so I don't know enough to tell you. I think there's LTSP work from Edubuntu that would be in Ubuntu's repositories, though. [06:47] rww: Typo. I fixed. [06:47] hello [06:47] nibsa1242: is there a previous distribution you can boot to? [06:47] soreau: but i want this new partition which i assigned to home to be home for new user? will it be done automatically [06:47] or is this like a clean install? [06:47] jhansonxi, Grub refused to install on /md0 ; Should install it on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb separately? [06:47] I know. I need to decide between Kubuntu, Ubuntu Server and Debian (with KDE3) for LTSP Server [06:47] * asdfqwer assumes the former [06:48] TipsyDever, reboot. Hold the shift key down immediately after the BIOS POST/manufacturer logo screen to get the Grub menu. Edit the top (default) menu item and add "nomodeset" after the double-dash on boot line. [06:48] rww: you don't need edubuntu for ltsp . you can install it from tasksel [06:48] cardamon: everything working fine now? [06:48] asdfqwer, no, I overwrote my debian install, I'm running from the live cd right now [06:48] thauriswulfa: If it's working correctly it should [06:48] I am using ubuntu 10.10. For some reason i have manually disabled my blutooth and now trying to start blutooth but it is not starting [06:48] So you're using your old /boot? [06:48] histo: yes, that's what I meant. The Edubuntu people worked on it (I think), and it's thus in Ubuntu's repositories. [06:48] X-Raimo: why would you install kde on a server? [06:48] TipsyDever: Which graphics card is it? [06:48] rww Software Center. Don't see any new java stuff. I'll look in synaptic [06:48] rww: Edubutu works fine. Also debian works great [06:48] dubey try this rfkill unblock bluetooth [06:49] asdfqwer, my /boot is still there, only b/c the Ubuntu installer didn't format it (even though I told it to) [06:49] !bluetooth > dube [06:49] soreau: its asking for room no. what does that mean [06:49] histo: because I need to provide people with KDE on Terminal (LTSP) [06:49] !bluetooth > dubey [06:49] dubey, please see my private message [06:49] nibsa1242: you try deleting it with gparted? [06:49] soreau: good question, will try to find out [06:49] thauriswulfa: Are you sure you're in the right terminal? :P [06:49] yes i am [06:49] X-Raimo: that has nothing to do with kde running on the server itself. [06:49] yvkrishna, check your sound preferences. Left-click on the sound icon and select preferences. In the Output tab check the Connector setting. [06:50] soreau: i had enabled root by mistake [06:50] soreau: so i am in root terminal [06:50] thau you don't have to enter all that data [06:50] * rww pokes histo's tab key [06:50] histo : is it not good for security [06:51] thauriswulfa: that's for admins to keep track of users they can specify room nber etc... [06:51] asdfqwer, gparted crashes and burns when I start it from the live cd... probably doesn't like the raid [06:51] jhansonxi, there is no connector [06:51] juniour: I tried, command run successfully. but still service doesn't start [06:51] histo: there's no other way [06:51] yvkrishna, check this document: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [06:51] histo: so i should leave it empty , right? [06:51] jhansonxi, there is no connector setting [06:51] rww: Okay. See sun-java6-* in synaptic. But which one do I need? jre or jdk or both, and do I need to remove openjdk first, and do I need to flip any additional switchs? [06:51] X-Raimo: yes there is. [06:52] nibsa1242: you have installed it, right? [06:52] Ah, it pulls jre. [06:52] ! java | cardamon [06:52] cardamon: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [06:52] sorry if it seems like a dumb question [06:52] ubey u tell me wt the exectly problem is [06:52] need help with printer . Stuck on proccessing [06:52] thauriswulfa: yeah you don't have to specify room number or telephone number etc... [06:52] histo: which one? [06:52] asdfqwer, what Gparted? yeah, its under system-->administration [06:52] dubey u tell me wt the exectly problem is [06:52] histo : i think everything is done thanx [06:52] nibsa1242: oh ok, it used to not come on live cd... [06:53] Anyone ? need help with printer . Stuck on proccessing [06:53] yvkrishna, it may be a problem with the detection of your sound chip/mixer. Open a terminal window and enter "lspci" or "lsusb" to show what hardware is on your system. Look for a sound device and note what manufacturer/chip number it is. [06:53] juniour : /etc/init.d/bluetooth status [06:53] * bluetooth is not running [06:53] Firmin: just reboot it [06:53] nibsa1242: shot in the dark, but try starting gparted from console: gksudo gparted [06:53] see if that makes any difference [06:53] nope. This has happened before. I remembered pasting in a line and it worked [06:53] dubey sudo apt-get install bluemen [06:54] asdfqwer, that threw an error code "could not stat device /dev/md0 - No such file or directory" it said that twice and then some other junk. [06:54] Can't remembered what line though [06:54] cardamon: both, and to pick whether to use openjdk or sun-java6, I think the "sudo update-alternatives --config java" command from the link ubottu gave would work. [06:54] yvkrishna, Once you have that info search with Google for "+ +ubuntu +2010|2011". This should turn up how-to documents, bug reports, etc. If that doesn't help then replace "ubuntu" with "debian" in the search. [06:54] soreau: But I already have OpenJDK, and I'm trying to move to sun-java6 so that I don't encounter any issues writing my programs for class. Do I need to uninstall OpenJDK and/or flip any switches, select a particular version first or last? [06:55] cardamon: I have no idea [06:55] nibsa1242: does df show the device? [06:56] Prinring stuck on proccesing. Rebooting not working [06:56] histo: Terminal Klient boots from small linux (which located in /opt/ltsp) and connects to server via SSH. After this to run KDE you'll need KDE running on server itself. [06:56] asdfqwer, hold on ubuntu live cd doesn't have lvm2m installing now [06:56] Firmin, check the CUPS web interface. CUPS has a web server running on your system. Open a browser and go to "localhost:631". Check the job status, printer settings, etc. Also check the error log at "/var/log/cups/error_log" [06:56] nibsa1242: some other tools try might be dmraid and fsck [06:57] hello can anyone help me to build fat client image offline? i have done online installation using < ltsp-build-client --fat-client --fat-client-desktop edubuntu-desktop --arch i386 --skipimage > . now i need to install it without using internet connection. plz help... [06:57] Firmin, usually when a job is stuck it is because the printer is not available (bad connection or on another system that is turned off), or wrong driver. [06:57] asdfqwer, already grabbed dmraid [06:57] dubey ur problem fixed [06:58] not yet [06:58] k [06:58] have u tried the last command i have given [06:58] yes [06:59] dubey ur bluetooth is not running or it not detecting the device [06:59] juniour: i think so [07:00] nibsa1242: did you read through this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto, throughly before instalilng? [07:00] dubey system->preference->bluetooth manager [07:00] I'm just asking cause I'm only somewhat familiar with Linux raid [07:00] asdfqwer, I'm not doing FakeRaid, so that doesn't apply... FakeRaid is for windows raid [07:00] Oh that's right [07:00] juniour: giving error [07:00] dubey, if it's not a driver bug then check the hardware.

I have the ntpdate script in /etc/cron.daily and is executable, etc. [07:08] I went in and ran it manually.. and it sync'ed the time [07:08] but how can it be so out of sync when it's in /etc/cron.daily ? [07:08] kuru, what is the name of the script? [07:08] jhansonxi, I just said 'ntpdate' [07:09] kuru: any particular reason you're using cron and ntpdate instead of the ntp daemon?

There was a limitation with cron that a script couldn't have an extension (like ntpdate.sh). [07:10] Firmin, what is your printer make/model? [07:10] How do I register my name?

[07:11] IOW, you said you had debian running on this array? [07:11] asdfqwer, that isn't going to do anything b/c the installer is just going to vomit when it tries to install grub again [07:11] how to remove login name list from login screen [07:12] Firmin, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrotherDriverPackaging it should be supported. Do you have the brother driver package installed? [07:12] yes [07:12] via terminal [07:12] nibsa1242: so installer won't even delete your /boot partition? [07:13] but it deleted your root partition fine? [07:13] asdfqwer, the arrary was partitioned within the deb installer... but the ubuntu alternate installer recognizes it and sees all the partitions... I see no reason to repartition [07:13] nibsa1242: see this thread, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=346669 [07:14] Firmin, I found this reference: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502345 [07:14] asdfqwer, it deleted / just fine... but all the old deb files look like they are still on /boot [07:14] nibsa1242: how many partitions are you trying to keep? [07:14] jhansonxi Actually the link you gave me previously gave me a wierd driver link [07:14] how do I install that ? [07:15] i mean if it's just /boot, why not repartition if /boot is causing the problem? [07:15] asdfqwer, the installer refuses to install grub to /boot (which is on a mdadm RAID 1) [07:16] jhansonxi testing synpactic way [07:16] Firmin, open up the Synaptic package manager and search for "brother".

Which way is easier and safer for a Ubuntu newbie? [07:21] asdfqwer, although I followed that while I was in the alternate cd installer, which recognized the raid [07:22] hi [07:22] hello [07:22] Poshepocket, it will be easier for you to remove vista, install XP, and then reinstall ubuntu. That will take time, but is pretty much fool proof. [07:22] is there a driver for Intel GMA 3150? [07:23] nibsa1242: you try sudo update-grub?

[07:24] sori niga [07:24] Poshepocket, I said that is the easiest... but most time consuming. Windows install won't play nice. It will overwrite your mbr. So if you install windows, you will have to fix the mbr and reinstall grub. [07:25] nibsa1242: can you run grub? [07:25] from live cd? [07:25] Poshepocket: it's low-hassle to reinstall everything if you do "dpkg --get-selections > package_list" first then after the reinstall "sudo dpkg --set-selections < package_list && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade" [07:25] * cardamon <3 ignore [07:26] asdfqwer, yes, but for it to do anything I need to chroot... and the livecd doesn't want to see the raid or lvm [07:26] * asdfqwer gives up [07:26] nibsa1242: sorry man and good luck, lemme know your solution if I'm still available [07:26] How do I make the 10.10 live cd see a lvm on mdadm setup so I can fix GRUB? [07:27] is there a driver for Intel GMA 3150? [07:27] nibsa1242: install lvm [07:27] asdfqwer, its ok... obviously Ubuntu just doesn't like LVM on mdadm installs. I just don't understand why Debian handles them just fine. [07:27] nibsa1242: you can install packages while on a live c [07:27] *cd [07:27] maco, I already did that. Do I need to start lvm somehow [07:28] fuck off [07:28] ok, saved me a kick...

[07:29] ljsoftnet u cnat find the drivers there [07:30] ljsoftnet activate all the drivers there [07:31] Poshepocket, I can remember now, but I think its pretty easy. I did it years ago when I had an XP - Ubuntu setup and XP died and I reinstalled it and it killed the mbr. [07:31] juniour it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system" [07:31] Poshepocket, sorry ment I can't remember how [07:31] ljsoftnet ya thats the prob [07:32] hello [07:32] nibsa1242: so somehow when the computer won't even start/ OS won't boot, I'm meant to somehow /fix/ this mbr?

[07:51] morning [07:52] morning [07:52] i've got a user who needs to switch interface name - eth0 to eth1 and vice versa [07:52] how would they best go about this? [07:52] /etc/network/interfaces? [07:52] yes userfriendly [07:52] just literally swap the names around [07:52] then restart networking [07:53] how do i see how ubuntu sees keyboard keypresses [07:53] include hardware addresses in the interface definitions? [07:54] hey how to change login name [07:54] juniour: add another user [07:54] userfriendly: No. /etc/network/interfaces deals with interfaces after they've already been assigned names. You should change the MAC address to interface name assignments in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules instead. [07:54] easiest way [07:54] NO sound again guys. [07:55] juniour: do you want to change your "real name" or the actual login name [07:55] i installed all nvida drivers. [07:55] is there a driver for Intel GMA 3150?

[07:56] amer: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [07:56] rww: okay, that file is empty on my 10.04 vm [07:56] thanks [07:56] :-/ [07:56] AndrewNTH : i mean to say in ./a.out [07:56] on the user's machine as well, i assume [07:56] sidd_mak: that refers to the file "a.out" in the current working directory [07:56] but it will upgrade only the kernel?????? [07:56] amer: no it may upgrade many other files too amer [07:57] userfriendly: odd. Each of my interfaces is listed in it, and it's the normal way of making persistant device names now.

[08:37] htns, might be different arch [08:37] psycho_oreos, it is x86 [08:37] htns, granted but with some slightly different instruction sets that it might be missing for ubuntu to launch [08:38] psycho_oreos, i see. any suggestions on how i can solve this? === big_t_ is now known as big_t [08:38] via epia is pretty common, like the 3rd biggest x86 after intel and amd [08:38] htns, none that I know of unless you could some how rebuild the entire thing from source.

[08:39] Why does ubuntu hangs for 7-8 seconds sometimes?

Evolution is a bit fond of just sitting there [08:42] bhavesh: no option of such function [08:42] bhavesh, I meant that you need to be more specific, if and when it lags again, quickly hit either the scroll lock, caps lock, num lock keys on the keyboard and see if they light up after you hit it, if not it might be a hard lock [08:42] psycho,oreos, ok ill try that next time... [08:43] http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter [08:43] gordonjcp, it even happens on ubuntu live CD sometimes [08:43] gordonjcp, So I cannot tie that to a a particular app [08:43] bhavesh, that could be a hard lock then, when you were on liveCD were you able to hear the disc spinning up during the lag? [08:44] psycho_oreos, I guess so, [08:44] that's not really a hard lock [08:44] that's just it waiting for the disc [08:46] Sorry for asking it again, but can anyone help me with my win7 bootmgr?

[09:47] is anyone here able to help me with connecting ubuntu up to a windows infrastructure? having big problems dynamically mapping homeshares. I am trying to get my workplace to consider linux as an alternative end-user OS and this is the last hurdle! [09:48] ZykoticK9: I dont understand I want to copy /home/adminiaa/public_html/en/niayesh in /home/adminiaa/public_html/en [09:48] motaka2, is niayesh a file or directory? [09:49] ZykoticK9: a dir [09:49] motaka2, then that is the same location??? [09:50] hi all :) [09:50] i want to copy all the contents of niayesh in the en , what should I do [09:51] motaka2, for just the contents "cp -R /home/adminiaa/public_html/en/niayesh/* /home/adminiaa/public_html/en" should work [09:51] exaseparated; try with http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com [09:51] puppy, I have done and I have had no response [09:51] something is wrong with my harddrive. I have to identical drives that are mounted at boottime with the exact same options. But I can not reach one of them. When I try to ls in it, I get Permission Denied [09:51] posted it months ago [09:51] been at this for aaaages :D [09:52] exasperated: where are you with it? [09:52] and the drives permission is different [09:52] ZykoticK9: thank you [09:52] might be not explained well, I think. [09:52] rwat, i used likewise-open to connect to the AD [09:52] the one that works has drwxrwxrwx , and the faulty has d-wx-wx-wx [09:52] which is fine [09:53] problem is we have users homeshares dynamically mapped on windows [09:53] via the %homeshare% set variable [09:53] which is set by the AD by username [09:53] johnlocke, the faulty one is missing read [09:53] ZykoticK9: Yes, but why? It has the same options when mounting? [09:53] if we want an automapping script for the linux machines, then we need to dynamically map them too [09:53] johnlocke, is this a NTFS/FAT partition? [09:53] ext4 [09:53] as there is no real rhyme or reason to where the drives are [09:53] mount options are rw,users,owner [09:54] exasperated: so you're trying to use the linux machines as storage for windows clients? [09:54] and the other harddrive is identical [09:54] with the same mount options [09:54] johnlocke, then change the permissions once it's mounted? [09:54] well that worked [09:55] exasperated: or is this per user file sharing between clients? [09:55] now I can read it. But how come they mount with different permissions? [09:55] that's just stupid [09:55] rwat, no we intend to use them for end user machines. I am trying to push the company away from windows boxes for users but it would cost too much to overhaul the infrastructure which is windows AD (server 2003 i believe) [09:55] some users need windows for some apps [09:55] thank you for the help ZykoticK9 [09:55] but most just need web and word processing [09:55] no need to pay £200 in licensing for that! [09:55] johnlocke, glad to help :) [09:55] exasperated: ok so your DC is windows AD? [09:55] yes [09:56] client logs in to that and homedirectory is set by it [09:56] so home directory is somewhere on a windows share? [09:56] rwat exactly [09:56] exaseparated; now u got it,I am happy [09:56] rwat the command in windows is net use m: %homeshare% [09:57] exasperated: ok, so when linux client logs in, what happens? [09:57] Cannot get samba to share from server. How do I configure it over the ssh? [09:58] rwat, they can map the drives by path, but we want to script it so that the drive maps automatically on logon, querying the DC for the users homeshare [09:58] ok, so at the moment linux users can't see their home drive [09:58] rwat, they can if they map it, but that isnt something we can give to end users [09:59] also the homeshares are placed wherever there is space [09:59] so something needs to get the name of the windows share from AD and mount on /home/user on linux box [09:59] rwat, exactly :D [09:59] right - I just need to check something [10:00] rwat i have been at this for months, if you have the answer i shall name my firstborn "rwat"!!!! [10:00] Im trying to get a game to work for someone, he has Ubuntu 10.10, and I have Installed wine, and gone to the properties/permissions/ and allowed executing file as program. but when I double click it to open it up the screen goes black as if its loading but then returns to the desktop and everything is way bigger like someone zoomed the desktop, How can I get it to work?, Oh the games called Warcraft 3 I think... [10:02] Eagle, to set up games within ubuntu i usually use playonlinux http://www.playonlinux.com/en/ - it uses scripts to automatically install dependancys that games need [10:02] Eagle, you might also want to check the winedb entries at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=897 [10:02] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfZItov1BUo [10:03] Eagle, install playonlinux (from software center) and use it to install warcraft 3 [10:04] how to install figer print ---ibm t42 ubuntu [10:04] how to install figer print ---ibm t42 ubuntu [10:04] if I don't have print,can I remove libhpmod0 hpijs hplip hplip-data ?

[10:08] rwat, i dont believe we have a remote samba server to authenticate against. I dont quite understand why we would??? [10:08] exasperated: hmm ok [10:09] rwat although it does seem to do what we need! [10:09] Hey everyone, Is there a way to prioritize my internet connection for specific programs. For example Chrome over Transmission or Or radio over chrome ? [10:09] exasperated: you should be able to mount a windows share in the same way [10:09] rwat awesome, i will give it a try and let you know what happens :D [10:10] exasperated: at least I think so :) In that example the share is on samba, but it *should* work with Genuine Windows (TM) :) [10:10] rwat the main issue is that we have the homeshares spread out across I believe 3 different servers [10:11] .. [10:12] alright guys! My old computer had a dual core processor but the power supply blew the other day so I dropped the HDD into my old machine that has a single core processor. Since doing that my machine runs REALLY badly. System monitor says the processor is running at 100% nearly all the time and I can't see a reason for this is there anything I can check? [10:14] i was trying to make a live bootable image on one of my partitions on my external drive, on usb starter creater, i clicked erase disk on the partition on which i wanted to create the bootable image, but it deleted the whole drive, now it shows the whole drive as empty... any way to recover ?? :( [10:15] according to the processes only 40% of the CPU should be being used [10:15] does ubuntu have security scan program can test computer's security? [10:15] pls help, it's very important [10:15] Hi! Many of the draw-intensive operations on my Ubuntu computer are rather slow, which is proving very hard to debug. However one symptom is that during rendering a web page in Google Chrome (which takes unnaturally long time), even movement of the mouse cursor becomes jerky. There are no resrouce-hog processes listed by htop. Any idea what could be causing this, or how could I debug further? [10:16] What is the preferred programming language for linux app development ? [10:16] GunnDawg: depends on the application. [10:17] is Python used more widely than other languages ? [10:17] GunnDawg: I believe c++ is rather widely used, python for lighter stuff. Not an expert myself, though... [10:18] rwat, the page refers to pam_mount.config but only a pam_mount.config.xml exists. according to the manpage, this is how it should be. would the syntax be the same or will the code in the example not work here? [10:18] one other thing that might be worth mentioning is that I now have a ATI card as opposed to a NVIDIA in the other machine. I've noticed when using firefox scrolling through a page will cause the page to be rendered in blocks rather than smoothly (how a windows machine would look with no video card drivers) [10:18] GunnDawg: If you're trying to learn, Python might be a good palce to start. [10:18] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g [10:18] ah ok, I have been a windows programmer for several years and have recently moved over here to linux/ubuntu [10:18] and wanna continue my programming over here on linux and see what I can do [10:18] ave [10:20] Tricks: if it's the same installation, leftover NVIDIA drivers might cause some weird trouble. [10:20] Ileden, thanks for the reply, yes it is the same. CPU constantly 100% laggy as hell. If I type it takes a good 10 seconds to catch up with me === ogra_ is now known as ogra [10:22] Tricks: for me, the trouble was that the leftover drivers prevented my computer from detecting the new display card somehow. I ended up doing a reinstall just to get my computer to get proper drivers. ugly stuff. === derrick__ is now known as pcfreak30 [10:22] Tricks: you can look from output of "dmesg" whether right drivers are loaded. Don't ask me how, though. :D [10:23] GunnDawg: well, then it really depends on the app you're making. [10:25] Hello. i am trying to share my connection with my ps3. I have configured it through NetworkManager, but myPS3 times out trying to get a ip address on "easy" config. also i get notifications of eth0 connecting/dosconnecting every second which is quite annoying. I have tried using firestarter to do it as well but it says eth0 isnt ready, though i manually set eth0 to 192.168.0.1 and pulled it up. i am connected via usb wifi adapter [10:25] and connecting my ps3 via eth0. Any help? [10:25] ny help?? [10:25] I'd like to report a bug against the ubuntu-minimal package.

[10:33] ya [10:33] edwardteach, im trying to get internet through my ps3. ive tried a old method i found for xbox by a bunch of iptables rules but it doesnt seem to work. just trying to get a easy way to do so [10:33] i want to update q4wine now [10:34] Ileden, thanks mate, there's loads of "stuff" lol. There is a lot of these: set_rtc_mmss: can't update from 3 to 59 about 50 odd [10:34] I wish I could help more, but I've never had any luck with windows emulation on my machine [10:34] emo, not everything windows can run on linux. games like black ops rely on directx which is propietary to microsoft. you out of luck if your looking to use ubuntu as a gaming pc [10:34] anyways, I had a really weird issue with my home bar [10:35] all of the lower-case "i"s are gone [10:35] Applications says Applcatons [10:35] thankx pc freak. [10:35] Music is Musc and Videos is Vdeos...so on and so forth [10:36] emo: Linux wont play everything, try a dual boot. its what i do, and use windows for games only... [10:36] well hold one [10:36] *on [10:36] thats wat ave got [10:36] are you able to run Call of Duty on it? [10:36] my games are on the windows side [10:36] you said something about being able to see it but not Black Ops [10:37] [10:37] emo: sorry whats the problem? [10:37] yes the call of duty modern wf is working [10:37] but the black ops wont install [10:38] did you install CoD straight to your Linux hard drive or are you dual booting hard drives and the windows one has CoD? [10:38] the old call of duty runs so much beta on linux than it does on my windows side [10:38] dual booting [10:38] that might be the issue then, try installing Black Ops on your windows and loading it off of there [10:38] but its installled on both sides [10:39] am not sure how to load it off from the windows side [10:39] ah... [10:39] hello [10:39] hi [10:39] So how can I use NetworkManager and Firestarter to do internet connection sharing [10:39] how are you? [10:40] as it keeps saying eth0 isnt ready (whats connect to my ps3) [10:40] so if i install the blackops on my windows side can i run in from the linux side [10:40] ?? [10:42] if i install the blackops on the windows side can i run it from my linux os??? [10:44] hey folks I have downloaded Docky but am un sure how to launch it and get it goin [10:44] could you tell me how ? [10:44] hey folks, does anyone know what the /cdrom directory is for? === behrooz is now known as Guest92734 [10:45] sugoruyo: mounting CD-ROMs to? === Guest92734 is now known as B_Z [10:46] can i create a user who can only install/remove software but not become sudo? Like an ITAdmin on ubuntu 10.04. what exactly i need to do? [10:46] gordonjcp: I knew i'd get an answer like that, but that's not true... optical media get mounted under /media with their label [10:46] GunnDawg, what about alt f2 docky [10:47] Thanks bazhang, that worked [10:47] abhilash, you need sudo to install software [10:47] ok can anybody tell me how I can identify if an old driver is still running? [10:47] GunnDawg: it should be in the menu, under Accessories I think - at least that's where I see it when I install it [10:47] Tricks, lsmod -a ? [10:47] bazhang: yes, but any other way is possible? i want w types of users on my system. So asking this. [10:48] is there any way to move or edit the docky bar ? [10:48] sugoruyo: I haven't had a machine with optical media for years, so I don't really know. I was just guessing. [10:48] abhilash, why would you want this, could you please elaborate [10:48] bazhang, thanks mate :-) [10:49] GunnDawg, does docky have a help page? typically 'man docky' or docky --help will show it [10:49] bazhang: 1 user is admin, which is me, 2 is an IT admin who can install/configure software but he should not be able to view my files/directories. [10:49] gordonjcp: well the problem is I've seen /cdrom on machines without optical media as well... if CD/DVD's don't mount there what's the point of having it? I'm doing some linux documentation and I sorta want it to be complete... [10:49] abhilash, a separate user won't be able to view your home directory [10:50] bazhang: since installing software needs sudo, the 2 user can easily become sudo and view my files. [10:50] abhilash: noone becomes sudo [10:50] its possible, he can cd to my /home/abhi and view files. [10:50] pcfreak30, eth0 is for wired connection and eth1 is for wireless if your trying to connect through wireless plus network-manager will default to wired connection eth0 if both connections are present ! [10:50] abhilash: one might become root, sudo is a program you run to use root privileges [10:51] edwardteach, im on wlan0, and im trying to share my connection with my ps3 via eth0.

[10:52] m issue there [10:52] abhilash: what one can do is run 'sudo su' and that's how you "become" root [10:52] ive tried all that [10:52] sugoruyo: yes please suggest.. [10:52] abhilash, he has to have sudo for that. [10:52] sugoruyo, please do not recommend that [10:52] networkmanager doesnt allow a blank default gateway which is required via firestarter docs [10:52] sugoruyo: did u understand my problem? [10:53] bazhang: i did not recommend anything, i just explained that sudo doesn't automatically turn you into root [10:53] bazhang: you have understood my problem, see if you can help:) [10:53] sugoruyo, okay [10:53] abhilash: maybe you can restrict what commands one may run with sudo, by editing /etc/sudoers... you do that with visudo [10:53] sugoruyo: i know root is disabled in ubuntu default, i have some other problem.. [10:54] abhilash: check the man page and maybe a good howto on the net 'cause the syntax of sudoers can be a bit tricky [10:54] sugoruyo: oh is it! i'll see more to that.......

[10:59] thedog, whoops got my numbers mixed up === johnlocke_ is now known as johnlocke [11:00] sipior: Would we be able to create a portal page for "customers" using Drupal? - then grant privileges to certain files? [11:00] Mark-: yes. [11:00] bazhang: seems like i've to wait === rwat- is now known as rwat [11:01] when I open folders from "places" it open in movie player or sometimes in theme installer and says an error occured.How to solve this problem [11:01] sipior: Do you know of any existing implementations of this? Templates? [11:01] thedog, yep, its fully capable in the next version ( #ubuntu+1 , natty) [11:02] Mark-: have a look at the drupal web site for further information. [11:03] puppy, has this problem allways [11:03] yes [11:03] puppy, lol [11:03] edwardteach: yes [11:03] sipior: We my understanding was that Drupal is a CMS for websites? I'm looking for an existing solution, rather than having to create my own website to manage users/file privileges? [11:03] can anybody see any issues with this: http://pastebin.com/MhEn21F8 I used to have a nVidia card and now with the ATI the machine is really slow and is using 100% of CPU [11:04] edwardteach: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [11:04] puppy, right click open with other application choose nautilus [11:04] Mark-: this is a bit off-topic for this channel. see the drupal web site for more information. [11:04] bazhang: ok [11:05] ah it says this in lsmod: agpgart 31724 2 fglrx,nvidia_agp [11:05] bazhang: where to right click [11:06] puppy, on a folder [11:06] bazhang: ok [11:06] Mark-, /msg alis list *drupal* shows a large number of drupal channels here on freenode [11:07] Could anyone please help me with ICs. I am still failing hard... [11:07] pcfreak30: ICs? i assume you don't mean integrated circuits... [11:08] pcfreak30, ask again! [11:08] bazhang: thanks! [11:08] sipherdee, internet connection shating. ive tried everything and i cant get my ps3 to get internet via ubuntu [11:08] pcfreak30, iirc #ubuntu-ps3 exists, perhaps they can help [11:08] how do I set the root pass? [11:08] Coded1, you dont [11:09] huh? [11:09] !root | Coded1 [11:09] Coded1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [11:09] bazhang, thats for running ubuntu on linux, which im not doing [11:09] Coded1, use sudo, or sudo -i for a root shell if you must [11:09] the #linux guys said u guys would get all mad at me for setting root [11:09] bazhang: it works...thanks [11:09] Coded1: wow, they're like prophets! [11:09] Coded1, so no real reason to ask then [11:09] Coded1: well, "mad" is a bit extreme. [11:09] true [11:10] just curious [11:10] :) [11:10] who needs a root password! [11:10] its 2011! [11:10] :o [11:10] viddy: sometimes sudo breaks. [11:10] yeah, i know [11:10] you mean all the #linux guys are just arrogant bastards! [11:10] thats when you boot into single user mode and set a root password [11:10] ? [11:10] Coded1, offtopic, lets move on [11:11] would 'sudo passwd' work? [11:11] Coded1: sudo su - [11:11] Coded1: yep. [11:11] Coded1: we merely mean that Ubuntu is engineered to work without a root password, so don't use one, or at least don't expect us to support one here [11:11] Coded1, I already told you what to do [11:11] Coded1, sudo, or sudo -i for a root shell [11:12] bazhang: nautilus is not in the open with menu but I used " use a custom command" and added nautilus [11:12] puppy, ok [11:12] bazhang: did not mean to bother the apple cart contiue on :) [11:12] pcfreak30, so your ps3 is connected to a ubuntu box via cable and then to the internet via your wireless network card?? [11:12] Coded1, please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks [11:12] np === JanC_ is now known as JanC [11:14] edwardteach, yes, its how im talking to u now. wlan0 is also statically configured. ive tried manual iptables, foirestart and network manager. i can give my ps3 a static ip but it always fails on internet connection mostly on dns. dns on ps3 usues opensns/google dns [11:14] pcfreak30: can you ping anything via ur ps3? [11:15] Coded1, how can i do that. im not running linux on my ps3 and im on 3.55, with no otheros [11:16] anyone know of any good screencasting software for ubuntu? Something like Jing? Ive been googling, but dont see anything that doesnt require tons of time for each video. I could literally make a 30 second video in Jing in 45 seconds (including having it online), but unfortunately its windows only [11:16] pcfreak30: then y the static dns? [11:16] 0Im trying to share my internet, not install linux on my ps3. ive tried every way and i dont know what im doing wrong... === xebii is now known as MrDick [11:17] pcfreak30: do you have two network interfaces? [11:17] how can i start an app in another language from the terminal? i saw LANG=C app to launch the default lang, but i cant find another correct LANG value. Currently $LANG = en_US.utf-8 i tried with en_UK.utf-8 and es_ES.utf-8 [11:17] Coded1, b/c i have no dns server running on the pc thats sharing, and i found some iptables rulwes a while back and got it working for my xbox. tried doing it for my ps3 but failed. idk why it has to be such a pain as it shouldnt be this hard [11:17] lol [11:18] * MrDick slaps blake [11:18] y === Grunk is now known as grunk === blake_ is now known as blakez [11:18] loling [11:18] thats why [11:18] why slap for sir? [11:18] why you slap for, sir [11:18] sugoruyo, INTERNET <-> ROUTER <-> UBUNTU <-> PS3 [11:19] pcnate: your dns is given by your router which is given by your isp [11:19] sugoruyo, yes, eth0 and wlan0. ij on wlan0 atm. ive tried iptables, firestarter and network manager [11:19] Coded1: not always [11:20] pcfreak30: you may have already considered/tried/answered this but doesn't your PS3 have a wireless connection? [11:20] blakez: your dns makes your isp money they will 99.99999% give u a dns [11:20] hi, i have ubuntu 10.10 installed, how to modify OS boot list? [11:20] i set my dns to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 [11:21] blakez: if u know better than go for it otherwise it is set for u guarenteed [11:21] sugoruyo, um i think that using my wifi adapter wouldnt work like that and apears to be more trouble than its worth.i have 2 nics, so im trying to use that. i just cant get it working. [11:21] xnixan: with grub2 [11:21] yep! [11:21] !grub2 | xnixan [11:21] xnixan: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [11:21] Coded1: why do you use ubuntu? don't you want to use a real linux? [11:21] blakez: since when is Ubuntu not a real linux? [11:22] blakez: it has nothing to do with linux [11:22] it's linux for children [11:22] blakez: unless ur isp is for linux [11:22] DNS is part of the linux API stack [11:22] so yes it does [11:22] blakez: hardly. [11:22] what is your definition of "real linux" then? [11:22] blakez: is dumb [11:22] it's linux made easy, so people can understand it better [11:22] fenre: real linux as in say... freebsd [11:22] pcfreak30: my question pertained to the builtin wifi on ps3's, certainly setting up is much easier than what you want to do, unless your ps3 doesn't have wifi, or the wifi network you join has some sort of protection [11:23] because not everyone in the world is technically inclined, as they concentrate on other things to make our lives easier [11:23] so, what's dumb? [11:23] that's stupid. FreeBSD is not linux at all :P [11:23] Gnea: what do you focus on? [11:23] * MrDick :P [11:23] blakez: what's it to you? [11:23] pcfreak30: what you want to do is set up one network between the PS3 and Ubuntu machine (complete with its own subnet and all) and join the wifi network you get internet service from [11:23] fenre: freebsd was the original linux before all you kids used ubuntu with pretty colors and GUI interfases [11:23] blakez: I'm an Ubuntu helper, that's all you need to know. [11:23] fenre: the real old school linux geeks use freebsd [11:24] Gnea: dumb is saying "because my router sets a bit field my choice of linux is because I'm stupid" [11:24] blakez: incorrect, FreeBSD is a derivative of BSD, which is not and never has been Linux. [11:24] sugoruyo, ok. i have eth0 and wlan0. all i want it to share my internet to my ps3. ive tried uptables, firestart and network manager with no luck. any help? [11:24] blakez, calling freebsd a linux just shows your ignorance [11:24] Coded1: lol [11:24] I'm a Gentoo use myself, so I know what "real linux" is. FreeBSD is BSD. Doesn't even use the linux kernel.. [11:24] real linux has text that looks like the matrix, ubuntu looks like an ugly version of windows xp [11:24] pcfreak30, what its the problem? are you using wire or wireless? [11:25] blakez: I'm sorry, but you have quite a warped perception of reality. [11:25] pcfreak30: you then need to configure ubuntu (iptables basically) to route from one net to the other, plus get rid of any firewall restrictions and set up NAT for it to work, the PS3 should either have static settings for everything or you'll need a DHCP server as well [11:25] I'm with Gnea [11:25] major_, I am on wifi ATm and connecting my ps3 via eth0 WIREd. [11:25] blakez: that I cant do anything about but it will work pretty solid [11:25] what are you connecting the ps3 to? the pc? the router? [11:25] blakez: it would perhaps be best if you learned the true history of Linux, BSD, Windows and Apple before making such ignorant comments. [11:26] pcfreak30: I once tried to do something like this using iptables but I lack the know-how for iptables (which is the tool you need to do this sort of thing) === ebagdemir is now known as nymphetamine [11:26] sugoruyo, ok ive somewhat been there but i rly need a guide to do this, any help? u dont need dhcp if your going to use static ips and ive used public dns. i just an get packets fowarded properly [11:26] what are you connecting the ps3 to? the pc? the router? pcfreak30 [11:26] So do you folks use linux as ur desktop OS now? I am considering getting rid of win7 now [11:26] Gnea: I guess we shouldn't argue with the trolls :P [11:26] fenre: who's arguing? ;) [11:26] pcfreak30: can you ping your ps3 from your pc? [11:27] pcfreak30: unfortunately i can't help you with the iptables (or whatever) configuration... [11:27] major_, ps3 is connected via wired to the pc i am on atm. im on internet via wifi. ive tried firestarter, networkmanager, and iptables with no success [11:27] GunnDawg: been using various distributions of Linux for my desktop for over 10 years now, never gave Vista or 7 the light of day. [11:27] how can i start an app in another language from the terminal? i saw LANG=C app to launch the default lang, but i cant find another correct LANG value. Currently $LANG = en_US.utf-8 i tried with en_UK.utf-8 and es_ES.utf-8 [11:27] Gnea, very cool [11:27] guys whats the original linux that was used before everybodies grandparents started using ubuntu [11:28] Gnea, yeah i am trying to get comfortable enough with it to use it as my primary OS on this laptop [11:28] like the linux they used in the matrix [11:28] i wanna use that [11:28] sugoruyo, no i can not. just hanges. === q_a_z_steve1 is now known as q_a_z_steve [11:28] Windows 7 is a good OS. If there is no special reason for switching to linux I wouldn't really see the point.. [11:28] GunnDawg: best way is either with wubi or dive right on in [11:28] pcfreak30: then the network between the two machines is not configured correctly [11:28] pcfreak30, you only need 3 things... an iptable rule to do the masquerade, set ipforwarding in the kernel and configure the proper ips in the interfaces [11:28] Gnea, well I am on ubuntu right now heh [11:28] fenre: it's a good OS if you have recent hardware [11:29] Gnea: which linux did they use in the matrix? [11:29] well, so is Ubuntu [11:29] GunnDawg: awesome. How long has it been now? [11:29] Gnea, I am using a dual boot, I am just trying to decide when I get rid of the win7 partition all together ;) [11:29] pcfreak30: i suggest you fix that otherwise everything else will fail - except if PS3's block pings [11:29] !ot | blakez [11:29] blakez: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [11:29] Gnea, about 24 hours ;) [11:29] GunnDawg: hahaha, if I were you, I'd hold onto both and give it a few months [11:29] https://bigzipfiles-01-01-snc4.facebook.com/ [11:29] major, i have ip fowarding, ive tried iptables with no luck and lave tried firestarter but it just errors bout eth0 not ready. i have eth0 configured in netwoerkmanager to share to other computers [11:29] Gnea, I am a windows programmer by hobby and wanted to explore linux [11:30] GunnDawg, what language [11:30] l [11:30] blakez: I won't warn you again. Please stay on-topic or go elsewhere. [11:30] and see if there is anyway i could contribute my skills to the linux community [11:30] GunnDawg: very cool [11:30] Pvl1, just about every language under the sun [11:30] Failed to start the firewall, eth0 is not ready <-- error from firestarter [11:31] Gnea: nigger. [11:31] GunnDawg: what motivated you to look into it? [11:31] pcfreak30, i guess the network manager trick will do for the iptables rule... now, what are the ips? can you paste them? [11:31] pcfreak30, both in ps3 and pc interfaces [11:31] Gnea, the open source enviroment and the free feeling I have gotten over the past 24 hours from Ubuntu is enough to make me wanna not go back to windows, its a unique feeling [11:31] !ops | blakez is offtopic, abusive and generally not a nice person.

[11:32] Gnea, what made me wanna look into it? well as a programmer I have a natural desire to explore my options and the horizon [11:32] GunnDawg, yes, that's the biggest upside for going with linux :) [11:32] GunnDawg: well, it's a good way to go if you've got bright prospects [11:32] major_, when ever i run sudo ifconfig eth0, it gives no ip information. my pc ip is 192.168.1.1, and im trying to use a subnet on 192.168.0.1. ps3 is configred as 192.168.0.2 [11:33] Gnea, I think it'll be a great OS to keep onboard this laptop as I dont game on it, I save the gaming for my xp system [11:33] but I think it'll make a GREAT OS for a laptop [11:33] it is [11:33] GunnDawg: you keep repeating yourself [11:33] pcfreak30, so you cant configure eth0? [11:33] major_, ive tried using firestarter to shared, but it just errors with eth0. firestarter docs says to configure it statically but i cant use a blank gateway [11:33] GunnDawg: you may find that gaming in Ubuntu is quite possible, once you've worked some of the kinks out [11:33] pcfreak30, disable firestarted. you dont need it at all [11:34] Gnea, yeah I've done a bit of reading on it [11:34] blakez, thats fine [11:34] blakez, why this attitude? [11:34] pcfreak30, not just close it... disable it [11:34] !attitude | blakez [11:34] blakez: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [11:34] major_, just tell me what i need to attempt to do in firestarter/network manager. eth0 is on shared via network manager === schnuffle1 is now known as guest64 [11:34] Gnea: how does that even apply? [11:34] blakez: like that. [11:35] major_, i have firestarter and i have eth0 set to shared wth other pcs via networkmanager. what to do? [11:35] Gnea but the real interest I have in ubuntu at the moment is seeing what I can do as far as programming goes over here [11:35] <|Long|> stuck at grub boot menu can someone help plz? un-install and re-install seems didnt fix this issue [11:35] trolls can be fun, but they're mostly annoying [11:35] pcfreak30, you only need 3 things... an iptable rule to do the masquerade, set ipforwarding in the kernel and configure the proper ips in the interfaces [11:35] fenre: then don't comment on them please [11:35] does anybody know what this line means in lsmod: agpgart 31724 2 fglrx,nvidia_agp [11:36] hm [11:36] pcfreak30, disable the share thing on network manager and firestarter [11:36] GunnDawg: if there's one thing that I keep hearing people stumble upon is the lack of a standard [11:36] Gnea, what do you mean by that [11:36] Hi ! I need to change my kernel Hz to 1000. Im just wonder if this will affect the server in a bad way? (It has 100 hz now) And do you know a good "How to" to change the Hz and recompile the kernel? :) [11:36] pcfreak30, use this rule iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE === guest64 is now known as schnuffle [11:36] Tricks: yes === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [11:37] major_, that doesnt help me at all really. i have ipfowarding, i dont know what to coinfigure eth0 with/as and idk what to use to do the iptables and i dont know iptables at all myself [11:37] GunnDawg: in windows and macosx, there is a standard API for the GUI that nearly every program adheres to. In Linux, these days there are some choices: GTK, Gnome, QT and FLTK. [11:37] ah, right [11:37] major_, first thing first. how do i need to have eth0 configured? [11:38] Muelli, ok does it mean that i have two graphics card drivers running? [11:38] Gnea, as a long time windows programmer I dont even know where to begin with linux programming, lol [11:38] GunnDawg: what is nice about Ubuntu is that it's easy to package a program up with the dependencies. the problem occurs when you try to make it work on multiple distributions. [11:38] pcfreak30 sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 [11:38] GunnDawg: but, many groups have been able to solve that, so it's not impossible. === iflema is now known as tremmons [11:38] pcfreak30, then iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE in the console [11:38] the problem still remains: a lack of a standard. [11:39] Tricks: no [11:39] Gnea, what seems to be the standard language to compile in ? [11:39] major_, ok.. [11:39] pcfreak30, and echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward as root [11:39] GunnDawg: well, the kernel itself has traditionally, and still is, written in C [11:39] major_, mk. eth0 is up already too [11:39] ah very well [11:39] thats the only 3 things you need... disable everything else that is messing your conf [11:39] GunnDawg: and different APIs have roots with either C or C++ [11:39] Muelli, ok cool I think I've managed to remove my old nVIDIA drivers then :) [11:40] Gnea, I prefer C or C++ so that's good news [11:40] major_, done [11:40] GunnDawg: you'll have a lot of fun then :) [11:40] Gnea, right now I am just messing around with making custom shell scripts [11:40] pcfreak30, try connecting internet from the ps3 [11:41] major_, fails on dns error. uaing opendns [11:41] GunnDawg: shell scripting is awesome, I use it consistently [11:41] pcfreak30, if done it like 5 times with pcs with no problems at all... it should not be different in ps3 [11:41] ok, set the dns for ps3 to 8.8.8.8 [11:41] Gnea, what do you use it for? I just made my self a control panel to update my packages, and a few other nice features [11:41] hmm. ill try on my xbox. i have a iptables rule set in a script that works [11:42] GunnDawg: many different things. one of these days, I will get a website put back together and put them up for people to download and modify to their hearts content. === tremmons is now known as iflema [11:42] Gnea give me some specific things you have done, I need ideas to mess and toy with ;) [11:43] im not entirely sure of its depth or flexibility [11:43] GunnDawg: the last one turned out pretty nice - it was used to convert analog video to digital (basically VHS tapes to DVD and MPEG to play in a player or stream remotely) [11:43] pcfreak30, paste sudo iptables -L [11:43] Gnea, wow you did that with simply shell scripts ? [11:44] hi I want to open vsd ms visio file.I used vsdump and need some helpwhat next [11:44] GunnDawg: yup, all in one shell script. you'd basically throw all of the prepared videos into a directory, run the script and walk away. come back the next day and everything's ready. [11:44] Hello all, I have a bit of a weird problem with my laptop, I have an external display connected, it works fine over VGA but when I use DVI/HDMI it shows connected in xrandr -q but there is no output down it. Its a Mobile Intel HM57 Express using the i915 driver. [11:44] Gnea shell scripts seem like they are based off much of C [11:44] Gnea, I could be wrong though [11:45] GunnDawg: a lot of the same programming elements port quite well (functions, etc) [11:45] pcfreak30, may i ask you why do you not connect the ps3 via wireless as you are doing with the pc? [11:45] Gnea, very true indeed [11:45] * lukasznaw is away: afk [11:45] !away > lukasznaw [11:45] lukasznaw, please see my private message [11:45] Gnea, just messing around in linux and trying to come up with ideas is becoming more addicting [11:46] Gnea, who would have thought just exploring an OS could become an addiction, lol :) [11:46] GunnDawg: the only reason we didn't use windows was because we needed to be able to tweak certain values and streamline the process when we needed to - didn't have that freedom, plus windows was too prone to crashing in the middle of a conversion. [11:46] major_, i have my reasons i just rather not say... sadly my rooms bit of a mess and i can not find my xbox controller, lol. [11:46] GunnDawg, and Gnea do you mind going to #ubuntu-offtopic ? [11:47] GunnDawg: heh, when I first got linux installed, I spent 3 months ripping it apart and putting it back together (redhat 4.1) only to realize that slackware was what I needed to run at the time. Eventually, I went onto Debian, Gentoo and then Ubuntu. [11:47] major_ np [11:47] major_: you're right, sorry [11:48] pcfreak30, other thing you can do is connect the pc to the wire and share wireless via laptop, witch is a much easier process [11:49] major_, so i just tried on my xbox and it cant even get through a static ip [11:49] pcfreak30, and i cant think of any reason not to connect the ps3 to the wireless instead of doing all the problems you are going throu [11:50] pcfreak30, paste sudo iptables -L [11:50] major_, http://pastie.org/1498902 [11:50] major_, thats the xbox script i used. tried modifing it for ps3 ports to no success [11:51] major_, it does work btw [11:51] what does work pcfreak30 ? [11:51] can I open vsd files? [11:51] in ubuntu/? [11:52] major_, http://pastie.org/1498902, i use that for my xbox and it works fine. [11:52] pcfreak30, im not an expert on iptables... but id say withthose rules set, it will drop anything but those rules [11:52] pcfreak30, paste sudo iptables -L [11:53] if those rules are running, it wont let you connect to ps3 [11:53] drop all rules [11:54] yo dont need specific ports to forward connection, you fordwar everything with nat [11:54] major_, http://pastie.org/1498907 === bilalakhtar_ is now known as cdbs [11:55] pcfreak30, would you let the whole command run? [11:55] major_, http://pastie.org/1498911 [11:55] major_, lo, sry didnt realize [11:56] i'm having bit of a problem with my computer, df says available hdd space is 0 and dmesg gives: [drm:mga_dma_flush] *ERROR* mga_dma_flush called without lock held, held [11:57] major_, my xbox connected :) [11:58] major_, i just hope its not just my old iptables rules for my xbox [11:58] i think so [11:59] pcfreak30, those are weird rules btw... you only need one rule, the masquerade one, that translate everything throu nat to the shared pc or console [11:59] pcfreak30, http://www.howtoforge.com/internet-connection-sharing-masquerading-on-linux here you have a tutorial. It tells you how to flush all tables and set the only rules that matter [11:59] rule* [12:01] Bushman: That video's incredibly gory. not for kids at all. lol [12:01] JackyAlcine, ? [12:01] Xorg and gdm logs are gigs in size and have *lots* of (EE) MGA(0): [dri] Idle timed out, resetting engine...

[12:02] hello [12:02] I have installed the package chasedouglas/mutitouch but the touch in my touch screen does not work [12:03] iiname, installed how [12:03] guys, any idea if there's something wrong with ubuntu repo? i've been getting 404 not found IP 91.189.88.30 80 error everytime i try to upgrade my system. anyone? [12:03] hi bazhang [12:03] gharz, try another mirror perhaps? [12:04] @bahzang apt-get install mutlitouch-kernel-source [12:05] iiname, what is the device that ubuntu is running on [12:05] hello bahzang [12:05] it is a tablet pc [12:05] JackyAlcine: yea, it is. did you seen both? the parody AND the mixed one? [12:05] Bushman, stay on topic please [12:05] iiname, which tablet pc [12:05] major_, im not sure whats up but my ps3 fails to a dns error yet my xbox goes through? [12:06] fic [12:06] how can i stop Xorg ? [12:06] it is a tablet pc called tycoon from fic [12:06] jhattara: sudo killall Xorg [12:06] jhattara: That should drop you back down to the TTY. [12:06] JackyAlcine, is there any friendlly way of doint this ? [12:06] bazhang: sure, i'll stay on topic [12:07] tried to stop gdm, but that didn't work, just wondering if there are any other ways [12:07] bazhang: i have ubuntu 10.04 and i need help [12:07] jhattara: It's not normally needed. Usually the Xserver is stopped (and then restarted) when you log off. [12:07] @bazhang i have located another package evtouch [12:07] should I try that? [12:07] iiname, okay, sure why not [12:07] and before installing evtouch, should i uninstall multitouch? [12:08] JackyAlcine, i know, i'm currently logged in with SSH and noticed that the gdm and Xorg logs took up all of the empty HDD space and Xorg takes up 85% of CPU [12:08] What can ubuntu do that windows cannot? [12:08] pcfreak30, im not sure its a dns erros... in the last error u pasted it said using opendns... [12:08] I think there might be conflicts if evtouch is installed while mutlitouch is already installed. [12:08] ? [12:08] UBANTOO, what version of ubuntu do you have installed [12:08] bazhang: 10.10 [12:08] how do i remove multitouch-kernel-source [12:08] 10.04 LTS [12:08] iiname, via the package manager [12:09] Will all the hardware in my laptop be supported before it is obsolete? [12:09] thanks bazhang [12:09] UBANTOO, hard to say. that's too vague a question [12:09] pcfreak30, dont use both consoles connected at the same time... run the tutorial commands i pasted you to flush the rules, or reboot the pc... then do the masquerade rule i pasted for you [12:09] set the ips, and you dont really need anything else [12:10] bazhang, on software Center, multitouch does not show up as installed [12:10] searched for multitouch [12:10] and multi [12:10] JackyAlcine, sudo killall Xorg didn't work [12:10] iiname: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:10] i don't find it [12:10] Hi.. I have a curious problem: whatever firefox I install (Ubuntu stock or the latest 3.6.stuff in tar.bz2), it loses its Back and Forward buttons after some time! Has anyone seen this ever? [12:11] major_, well it seems by switching the ethernet corn it resets ptables automatically. as eth0 goes down. im just trying to figure out whats wth ps3 and my xbox runs fine with it [12:11] pcfreak30, and btw, i dont really understand why cant u just connect to the wireless just ike you do with your laptop. Even if its a stole wifi, the total bandwidh you are using its the same [12:11] Hey, quick question (probably a really simple one) but I would like to build MinGW-w64 on Ubuntu and use it as a cross compiler for Windows 32 and 64. Reading "Cross Win32 and Win64 compiler" I see that it needs binutils built and installed. Is that the same binutils as the one that is found at http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ and if it is isn't that the same one that is installed with "apt-get install binutils"? If it is, do I need [12:11] iiname, you installed via package manager, correct? then search in synaptic, perhaps you are mispelling it [12:11] all i did was to type the command sudo apt-get install multitouch-kernel-source [12:11] major_, stolen wifi, thats funny. i have wifi router, its not stolen. [12:11] jhattara: Try sudo killall xinit; that should stop it. [12:11] no, i installed it via terminal [12:12] iiname, then apt-get remove it [12:12] what command could I use from a script to substitute a single (known) line with another? From file X I want to substitute the line "blah blah" with "foo foo" sorta thing? [12:12] since the package name says source, is there any after process to be followed to install it? [12:12] pcfreak30, and do u mind sharing why dont you want to connect directly the ps3 to wireles?? im really curious [12:12] such as the package build process? [12:12] JackyAlcine, sudo kill -9 [Xorg's pid] worked [12:12] jhattera: Alright. [12:13] JackyAlcine, now i'm just waiting to get home from work, so that i can check what damage was done and what caused it [12:13] major_, its a very phishy reason so id rather not say, as it relates to some illegal acts. im just keeping it quiet for my sake. if u seriously want to know, pm me [12:13] pcfreak30, you dont need so many rules... with the masquerade rule is like your ps3 is directly connected to the router from the poing of view of the ps3 [12:14] pcfreak30, we dont support that here [12:14] removed [12:14] Hey, quick question (probably a really simple one) but I would like to build MinGW-w64 on Ubuntu and use it as a cross compiler for Windows 32 and 64. Reading "Cross Win32 and Win64 compiler" I see that it needs binutils built and installed. Is that the same binutils as the one that is found at http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ and if it is isn't that the same one that is installed with "apt-get install binutils"? If it is, do I need [12:14] bazhang, support what. i never said anything? [12:14] any clue how to restore ubuntu from intramfs? [12:14] pcfreak30, the illegal acts you *just* mentioned [12:15] um thats all i said. never said wehat it was, but just forget about it as i kinda assumed someone would say that [12:15] pcfreak30, nonetheless illegal acts are not supported here. lets move on [12:16] well it all depens bazhang, pcfreak30 are you on international waters? [12:17] major_, im in usa... [12:17] major_, it depends on nothing. lets move on. [12:17] hehehe [12:17] major_, i know ur curious but drop it b4 ops kick us both please [12:17] pcfreak30, please take your help request elsewhere. [12:18] Hi all.. I have a curious problem: in my Ubuntu, whatever firefox I install (via Ubuntu package manager or the latest 3.6.stuff in tar.bz2 manually), it loses its Back and Forward buttons after some time! Has anyone seen this ever? Happens in safe mode too. [12:18] sundar, you installed from tar.gz? why not the package manager [12:19] bazhang: I tried both [12:19] sundar, what version of ubuntu is this by the way [12:19] bazhang: when the package manager's version of firefox showed this problem, I tried the tar.bz2 from mozilla's site hoping it wouldn't. [12:20] bazhang: I understand how you don't condone illegal acts; but if help's requested of a user, Ubuntu clearly states we're here for each other. [12:20] bazhang: Maverick Meerkat (10.10) [12:20] sundar, better to try and fix the package manager version then install from 3rd party sources; frankly an unsupported PPA would be better than that [12:20] JackyAlcine, no. lets move on. [12:21] bazhang: how do I try and fix it in that case too? [12:21] sundar: how long after install do you see the issue arise? [12:21] almoxarife: around one hour I'd say [12:22] i just create a new user that has not access to a ntfs patition [12:22] somebody please help me [12:22] sundar: you are just browsing and it occurs? or you got to a specific site? [12:23] almoxarife: as far as I see, it just occurs by itself. And the Back button gets disabled on pages where it was previously enabled too. [12:24] bazhang I have a problem installing evtouch [12:24] followed the steps at page http://www.conan.de/touchscreen/evtouch.html [12:25] downloaded and unpacked the tar ball at /home/evtouch [12:25] can someone help me restoring ubuntu from intramfs? [12:25] it crashed after an upgrade [12:25] this is the one thing that keeps me from using ubuntu, unfortunately. I mostly live inside Firefox, and Chromium isn't a sufficient substitute for me. [12:25] copied evtouch_drv.so to "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/" [12:25] sundar: try installing chrome? [12:25] after that can't find xorg.conf in my computer [12:26] almoxarife: the extension support isn't good enough for me. also some extensions I frequently use are missing. [12:26] hazz, now in busybox? [12:26] yes [12:27] iiname: theres no xorg.conf by default. you can make one. X auto configures for the most part these days [12:27] yesterday i wanted to chroot but it failed [12:28] almoxarife: for eg., Tree Style Tabs and Ctrl-Tab extensions seem to be not even possible in Chrome, and Repagination while possible hasn't been ported by anyone. [12:29] Does anyone know a good screen recording tool, for recording games? I would prefer one that didnt kill my systems performance totally [12:29] how to go to any drive through terminal ? [12:30] amit: cd /mountpouintofthedrive [12:30] !screencast | grunk [12:30] grunk: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf.

[12:30] and how to know the mount point of that drive [12:30] I will sudo gedit xorg.conf in the specified directory, it will open an empty file where I can paste the suggested code? [12:31] exit [12:31] iiname: by default there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf so if you edit that file.. it will be empty. [12:31] sorry =) [12:31] greetings [12:31] sundar: your issue with firefox may have a direct correlation to your configuration of same, then again I am guessing [12:31] i am looking for a macro recoder for ubuntu [12:31] iiname: a subtle point, but "gksudo" is preferred when invoking X11 apps. i believe gedit is smart enough to do the right thing, but it's a good habit to get into. [12:32] Dr_willis:thanx i got it [12:32] is there an easy way to connect to a IPSec/L2TP (PSK) VPN Server with Ubuntu ? [12:32] or is it possible under intramfs, do dpkg-reconfigure or similar? [12:32] could anyone suggest me a good macro recoder for ubuntu [12:33] hello [12:33] Dr_willis:when i record my sound through microphone it doesnot works,why? while when i listen to song or anything it works [12:35] amit: Bring up a terminal and type in alsamixer, see if there are any devices on mute that shouldn't be [12:36] could anyone suggest me a good macro recoder for ubuntu [12:37] conon:ya front mic is muted [12:37] /nick d3vdil [12:39] amit: i never use a mic. so no idea. [12:39] What application can i use to convert an avi video to mp4 in ubuntu? I'll use it for my mobile phone... [12:39] singularity: i think theres one or 2 on the package listings.

[12:45] Fck_: Yes its possible. [12:45] Dr_Willis: so? the update broke it? [12:45] (Will Airport work?) [12:45] Hey everyone, Is there a way to prioritize my internet connection for specific programs. For example Chrome over Transmission or Or radio over chrome ? [12:45] rick_2047: I just saw there was a update.. no idea if its broke or working.. I dont use empathy [12:46] DJAngo23: You can do that with Qos [12:46] Dr_Willis: any other better software for gtalk? [12:46] rick_2047: i just go to the gmail site and use their web based thing. [12:46] o [12:46] @DJAngo23 prolly you also can set that up in your router [12:46] thats kinda anticlimatic [12:47] rick_2047: my phone handles google talk for me most of the time. [12:47] Dr_Willis: o [12:48] Fck_, Thanks, i will take a look at Qos [12:48] anyone else having problems [12:48] ? [12:49] rick_2047: if you check the forums there may be mention of others with issues.. ive not seen it mentioned in this chatroom recently. [12:49] no there is no mention there [12:49] hi guys. what's the difference between samba and samba4? which one should I install?

[12:53] rick_2047: with that old a relase.. it very could be a version issue then. [12:54] Fck_, You told me Qos right? Do you aslo have a tutorial for it, because it's scripting right ? [12:54] rick_2047: many of the IM companies like o change things and 'break' the older linux clients. [12:54] ech0: eth not an option? [12:54] rick_2047: that would be odd for google however. [12:54] ech0: wifi? [12:54] or would it be possible to turn the ethernet port on my netbook? [12:54] ech0: not with a normal usb cable. [12:54] use netbook as wired router perhaps? [12:54] ech0: if you have a spare network cable and a hub/router/ or GB networking ports.. you could just plug the 2 together. [12:55] ech0: that would be the simple way [12:55] Dr_Willis: I have this 10.10 cd with me, but my computer is really old. Its a p4 (3.2 GHz) and 256+512 ram. do you think it will work?

[12:56] well i have a bunch of routers but i use an open connection that my desktop can't reach and i have a cat5 cable bout 50 feet long that would be perfect [12:57] almoxarife, Yes, but at work ;) [12:57] thanks for the insight guys i'll search the forums for ways to use my netbook as a wired router [12:58] would it be possible to actually set up one of these routers to my netbook to repeat the signal? [12:59] DjAngo23, there is also something as DSCP I think, it's a setting in the IP header.. It will provide some sort of quality of service.. But I don't know how that works.. Let me google it for a minute. [12:59] Hi all [12:59] i need help with centos, where i must go? [12:59] i have bout 10 routers in a box and a ridiculous amount of computer equipment to tinker with [13:00] DjAngo23, maybe go and have a look over here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiated_services , can be interesting [13:00] XOPBAT-GH, #centos [13:00] I plugged an USB stick in my Maverick computer.

[13:02] hdeshev: I personally use exaile or vlc [13:03] hdeshev, audacious for very light, there are mpd frontends you might consider as well [13:03] hdeshev: no idea. try them and see... [13:03] I dont know of any that try to sell you muzack,. other then the Ubuntu one Musiz Store. [13:03] Will do [13:04] I don't want anything that tries to sell music to me or pretend it's going to organize my music files for me (how absurd!) [13:04] Is there any screen recorder for Ubuntu?

[13:05] hello. gdm is stuck and i need to get to my running session. is there a way to activate the remote desktop service via the virtual console? [13:05] is anyone able to install "funguloids" on ubuntu? can anyone try it please? [13:05] hdeshev: oh, or xmms. that & beep, if i remember right, are similar to WinAmp [13:05] Dr_Willis: hey, is lubuntu any good? [13:05] nubuntu: easier if you just state the problem you're having with it. [13:05] maco, xmms is no longer being developed [13:06] sure, this is what I get: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [13:06] funguloids: Depends: ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager but it is not installable [13:06] bazhang: why is it in the list? beep is its successor though, right? [13:06] maco, /msg ubottu xmms for more [13:06] nubuntu: have you done an "sudo apt-get update" recently? [13:06] How come the "sudo apt-get update" command opens the "update manager" but doesn't actually update any programs? Or it will just go down a long list of sources but not update anything, and I need to go to the update manger to actually update. Is there any way to update via the command prompt? [13:07] of course I did, it doesn't work on my laptop either, sipior [13:07] KSHawkEye: use upgrade command to upgrade the packages [13:07] meh guess i'd have to use a crossover cable.. i don't have one.. i have a bunch of routers though i don't want to spend money if i don't have to. guess i'll grab one and just start testing connection settings [13:07] nubuntu: and what happens if you try installing the ogre package manually? [13:08] schnuffle: what does the update command even do then? Does the "update manager" update or upgrade? [13:08] KSHawkEye: update only updates the repository list [13:08] ech0: a lot of modern hardware will "know" to swap things around to use a normal cat5 as crossover [13:08] sipior: I tried compiling but it didn't work... guess I did something wrong, however, I can't install the ogre package trough aptitude neither [13:09] nubuntu: and the error message is... [13:09] KSHawkEye: so you do an update to get the new list and upgrade to install the upgrades if any available [13:09] schnuffle: does the update manager upgrade the packages then? [13:09] sipior: E: Package ogre-plugins-cgprogrammanager has no installation candidate [13:09] nubuntu: and which ubuntu version are you running? [13:09] Dr_Willis: Thank you for your help. [13:10] sipior: 10.04.1 [13:10] schnuffle: along with runs a update of the repository list? [13:11] KSHawkEye: to get all the upgrades just do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [13:11] schnuffle: thank you very much [13:11] nubuntu: hmm. doesn't appear to be in the package repository. i'd say file a bug report against the funguloids package. [13:12] lol "this is a check to ensure you are human and not a machine: type the word Gnome (ubuntus unter interface)" hmm "KDE!", "Unity!" and it left me in :D [13:12] sipior: ok then, thanks for info [13:14] i have some python libraries in /usr/local/lib, are they from the system python? if not, how can i uninstall them? [13:14] Hey folks [13:14] what is an .mpk extension and what it does? [13:15] Stavros: the system python checks that directory, but anything installed there should have been outside the aegis of the packaging system. [13:15] sipior: hmm, odd... aptitude is failing and i think that dir has something to do with it [13:15] Stavros: you can simply remove the files if you don't want them, as long as you're sure nothing else expects them to be there. [13:16] Stavros: you get an error of some sort, i presume? [13:16] well, i install python libs with pip, which might be placing them there. i'm not sure if there's another python that aptitude is using, though [13:17] Stavros: that is exactly where pip would place them, yes. [13:17] hmm, then that's not the problem... [13:17] is anyone willing to join the ubuntu classroom on 29 jan? [13:18] Stavros: might be a collision between a library you have installed and a system version. verify that /usr/local/lib follows /usr/lib in your sys.path. [13:18] Stavros: easier to tell if you paste(bin) the error that you receive. [13:19] sipior: it's obscure, let me try [13:19] nubuntu, classroom? [13:19] Hey I'm trying to install one deb package without installing lib*-mesa, is it possible ? [13:19] using dpkg ? [13:20] edwardteach: the #ubuntu-classroom channel [13:20] velory: use the repositories through APT, don't use .deb you download [13:20] jrib: it's not in repository [13:20] I have package [13:20] velory: what is "it" exactly? [13:20] jrib: Panda3D arm build [13:21] sipior: http://dpaste.com/355585/ === taransvar is now known as franzce [13:21] in the log folder I see access.log and access.log.1 what is the *.log.1 file? [13:21] velory: then you need to download a .deb meant for your version of ubuntu and satisfy requirements manually (by installing them from APT) [13:21] Stavros: that's the result of running just "aptitude"? [13:21] sipior: aptitude upgrade [13:22] aptitude works otherwise, it just gets stuck upgrading twisted [13:22] exit [13:22] bencc: What does it look like it might be when you open it up in a text editor? [13:22] jrib: I have deb package [13:22] since the upgrade to 10.10 [13:22] velory: they seem to have a ppa on their website (http://www.panda3d.org/download.php?platform=ubuntu&version=1.0.0&runtime) are you using that? [13:22] Anyone know which package mysqlbinlog comes from? [13:22] jrib: no [13:22] krger: it's huge. I don't want to open it [13:22] Stavros: fire up python, and try "import sys sys.path", and pastebin the result, if you would. [13:22] krger: I wonder if I can remove one of them [13:22] checking for OGRE... configure: error: Package requirements (OGRE >= 1.4) were not met: [13:22] So less it. [13:22] No package 'OGRE' found [13:22] [13:22] jrib: can't I just add --ignore-depends=libegl-mesa etc. [13:23] does anyone has an idea where I can find that OGRE package? [13:23] Or even head or tail it! [13:23] nubuntu: apt-cache search ogre for starters. [13:23] velory: not really, unless you know you can. Dependencies are there because a package needs another package to work right. Use the ppa: https://launchpad.net/~panda3d/+archive/ppa [13:23] nubuntu: if its ot in the repos. You may need to compile it first [13:23] sipior: http://dpaste.com/355592/ [13:23] Stavros: you notice how it's pulling in runpy from /usr/local? [13:23] jrib: I know I should ignore those dependencies [13:24] sipior: yeah, and /usr/local/lib/site-packages is higher [13:24] velory: use the ppa [13:24] sipior: that would be why [13:24] Stavros: yep, you've got it. [13:24] sipior: where's the PYTHONPATH stored? [13:24] actually, just PATH [13:24] i wonder if sys.path concatenates both [13:25] sipior: yeah, sys.path is pythonpath [13:25] Stavros: right, and it is set at every interpreter initialisation. have you specified a startup file for your interpreter? [13:25] hello [13:26] sipior: i use fish, i have a custom fishrc but i didn't set the pythonpath, so it has to be somewhere else [13:27] marcus___: mysql-server-5.1, you can find it with apt-file [13:27] Stavros: do you have an PYTHONPATH environmental variable set? [13:27] Stavros: possibly in .login or .bashrc? [13:28] velory: did that work? [13:28] im trying to edit my .bashrc to run a pyw when I login, it is currently running it in the terminal, i just want it to run silently without a terminal existance how can I do that [13:28] jrib: I'm already talking with that rdb guy, to make that build work so I have to build with ignoring those dependencies to not use those libraries [13:28] Hi! im trying to run this comman but it aint working, sudo updatedb -o etcindex /etc. Why is that? [13:28] sipior: i grepped my entire home directory, nothing's set [13:28] sipior: i'm searching the forums to find where it's set [13:29] velory: then download the source package, remove the dependency, rebuild the package, and file a bug somewhere [13:29] jrib: can't you just tell how to ignore packages ? [13:29] Taos: redirect stdout and stderr with 2>&1 1 > /dev/null [13:29] can anybody tell me where can i find a free vpn working on ubuntu [13:30] velory: no, this is the proper way. You can force dpkg to install without the dep but then you'll always get complaints about it. So rebuilding as I described is the optimal way to fix your issue. [13:30] eXpLoD: openvpn or ipsec. the first i much easier to setup, and there tools like wippien [13:30] schnuffle: thats not exactly the proble, [13:30] Taos: so elaborate on your prob [13:31] velory: if you really want to ignore my advice, you can just take two minutes in the dpkg man page and search for "ignore-dep" I suppose... [13:31] eXpLoD: i recall googling one day and finding 2 free vpn services that worked with ubuntu.. i think i only had one working.. (just to play with) but ive not toyed with them in perhaps 7+ mo. [13:31] schnuffle: one minute [13:32] is there any c programming room on this server? [13:32] eXpLoD: ##c [13:32] Taos: run in a detached (GNU) screen/tmux? use nohup or disown?

[13:38] aliverius: it an test them. but its not really a stress test [13:38] mh22mk_: my *guess* is you want -U before "/etc" in your original, but I don't know what you are trying to do [13:38] what is a ./bootstrap? and why I cannot do it? I need it in order to compile OIS [13:38] aliverius: ther are benchmarking and other tools for that. [13:38] shinbuntu: i want to save the /etc in a file on root dir [13:38] Dr_Willis: any ideas?

[13:42] I am currently dual booting ubuntu with windows and i wish to make my ubuntu partition bigger.I have tried doing that by resizing one partition from windows and then resize the ubuntu partition.But then a a message box popped out and told me that I'm trying to move a partition from /boot to /dev/sda and it will most likely cause boot failure.What should I do,is there any solution to this,I dont wanna lose my data! [13:42] Dr_Willis: Perfect. :) [13:43] eXpLoD: you could shrink windows, then make a new partition in the newly freed space. and move /home/ or whatever you want to that. It all depends on your exact setup. [13:43] eXpLoD: Youy may want to pastebin the sudo fdisk -l, output and your current fstab file. For teh channel to see.

[13:44] nmvictor: i dont think so. I think it can if you set it up that way. [13:45] Gnea: what is your .dmrc trying to load?

[13:47] Cyberfusion: boot from an ubuntu live cd or the like, and use gparted to resize your partitions. another possibility, if you've got a lot of space on another partition, is just to move choice directories onto a roomier partition, and use symbolic links to point to them. [13:47] Hey, Ubuntu isn't picking up my Android phone being plugged in. dmesg doesn't even show it noticing any USB device being plugged in. [13:48] jocrawfo: if you cant tell the phone to behave as a usb device.. i dont think so. [13:48] Dr_Willis: session=gnome [13:48] Dr_Willis, I see it in dmesg and lsusb [13:48] so no possible way? [13:48] gsnedders: you did tell the android phone to use the usb plug as a 'usb storage' thing, then used the settings to actually mount the sd? [13:48] the thing is I have too much room on root, I want to move it to /home however i tried using gparted and it threw out errors (not fatal im still here) [13:48] Gnea: so try stoppong gdm, and doing a 'startx' and see what loads up?

[14:22] SethX: paste your ldif [14:22] gnome [14:22] How do you get into MySQL Admin on Ubuntu? [14:22] I had same problem with my acer, I re-installed using text only and it works perfectly now. [14:22] i know what there is packet, which can delete some packs... but i forgot how it write [14:22] Roasted: install phpmyadmin maybe or do you means the mysqladmin binary? [14:23] guys. I have a remote server running ubuntu, with the x11vnc service started. but when i try to connect, it drops the service down instantly. I guess the X is not started. I removed the display cable when i have been there. Does it have something to do with the X refusing to work? [14:23] ah, phpmyadmin rings a bell [14:23] thanks schnuffle [14:23] mark-kraevskijj: sudo apt-get remove [14:23] well im going to cross my fingers hopefully i dont have another 3 hour install infront of me [14:23] hello i need some help [14:23] Sound: exactly [14:23] schnuffle, i need to remove from sqfs [14:23] schnuffle: http://pastebin.com/mS8vq9M5 [14:24] cause i haven't ubuntu on PC (this pc) [14:24] iiname, !ask [14:24] and now? [14:24] I went through the instructions at page http://www.conan.de/touchscreen/evtouch.html and ended up corrupting my xorg.conf file, ubuntu now runs in low graphics mode, with errors such as "problem parsing the config file, error parsing the config file [14:25] what should i do edward [14:25] i even already tried this http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/399733/ [14:25] but it didn't help [14:25] i know what there is packet, which can delete some packs... but i forgot how it write [14:25] the instructions at this page are inadequate [14:25] one of the steps is to edit the xorg.conf file [14:25] guys [14:26] wa? [14:26] what are mail protocols? [14:26] schnuffle: do you see anything suspicious? [14:26] how do I create a user for phpmyadmin? [14:26] did i screw up the dc's ? [14:26] I was told that by default it is not there, I created one, and included the code as given in that page, but the code appears incomplete [14:26] daylight, lol [14:26] mine sat at the log in screen with a pointer but nothing would work, I re-installed, mine is the 8920g [14:27] Hello. I have a problem with empathy. It gives me network error on both MSN and Google chat. Anyone know anything about this? [14:27] mark-kraevskijj: lol?

[14:27] daylight: imap, pop3 ... [14:27] Roasted: I think you need to login using your mysql root user first. [14:27] !es | mutu [14:27] mutu: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [14:27] yup [14:27] perfect [14:27] ;) [14:27] Roasted: use the root to login, set a mysql root passw rod with mysqladmin -p [14:27] gracias [14:27] how? [14:27] Pici, is that just admin or administrator? [14:28] using the 'text onlubuntuusers install' [14:28] schnuffle what's the default root login? I'm drawing a total blank from when I previously used phpmyadmin [14:28] schnuffle: btw, using slapd 2.4.23 [14:28] text install [14:28] Roasted: blank password [14:28] Roasted: Its the same mysql root user that you used when you setup mysql. [14:28] SethX, haha, or not. its root + root pw. [14:28] instead of gui [14:28] puedes acercarme a una lista de comandos irc??? [14:28] just got in [14:28] im researching about mail protocols [14:28] thanks [14:28] mutu: english [14:28] mutu: try #ubuntu.es [14:28] sorry [14:28] madprof: any tut [14:28] u installing from dvd? [14:29] ? [14:29] guys. If the display is not with the video cable connected, the X stops working ? [14:29] from cd [14:29] no hablo ingles [14:29] mutu: Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [14:29] in the install screen choose 'text only install' [14:29] ok [14:29] wim-: tnx [14:30] ah ok, will try now. brb [14:30] ok [14:30] if ubuntu is open source,where is it's source? [14:30] dwarder, ? did you need me? [14:30] eXpLoD: apt-get source packagename [14:30] eXpLoD: ubuntu distributes opensource software packages [14:30] the source lies at the individual packages [14:31] hence the name "distribution" [14:31] where is the source saved when apt-get source? [14:31] eXpLoD: Current directory. [14:31] eXpLoD: /usr/src/ ? [14:31] SethX: what was te output of ldapadd db.ldif? [14:32] schnuffle: http://pastebin.com/We9mJ17z [14:33] lol,the source needs root priviliges [14:33] madprof: is textinstall on the normal cd? [14:33] yes [14:34] hmm, cd directly boots into GUi installation [14:34] wim-: what are the differences of email protocols and mail protocols? [14:34] wim-: are they same? [14:34] daylight: it's the same thing email or mail [14:34] wim-: ahhhh i see.. [14:34] is it true: ubuntu spoon feeds you? [14:35] you should have a choice; try or install [14:35] eXpLoD, /part [14:35] daylight: http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/tips/protocol.html [14:35] oh, i need an alternate-installer version.... [14:35] AbhiJit: i wasn't expecting your stratagem to work. [14:35] SethX: I find your tutorial a bit strange, I wouldn't add the schemas to the config branch, I would add them to the config file and then create the entrie [14:35] I have the 10.10 cd and dvd [14:35] hello, who know C++ to help me understand problematic line of code? [14:36] sipior, :D [14:36] text install works spot on [14:36] schnuffle: if you have a better tutorial to suggest, i'm open to anything which *works* [14:36] :o [14:36] SethX: you want to use phamm I guess? [14:36] cozmmit ok!!! [14:36] schnuffle: i couldnt care less tbh [14:36] zaxonspox: Come to #ubuntu-app-devel [14:36] zaxonspox: there's a #C++ you can try. [14:36] i just want to centralize auth between email, apache, tikiwiki and trac [14:37] zaxonspox: or ##C++, rather. [14:37] thank god, gparted worked! [14:37] hey, hey, hey!!!!!!!! i need to delete ubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386.iso some packs. how can i do?! [14:37] hi [14:37] SethX: so you don't need all those extra schemas [14:37] my cd boots directly to choosing language in GUI mode... doesn't matter already burning the alternate version =) [14:37] good ;) [14:37] JackyAlcine, sipior tnx, i will try, if no luck, i will be back with question [14:37] i was expecting it to take like 2 hours to resize the whole root but it took 2 minutes [14:38] guys. I'm trying to start X on a remote server that doesn't have the video cable connected to the display. The missing cable have something to do with the X stuck? [14:38] Has anybody set up FreeRadius on Ubuntu? [14:38] no? :) so how do i proceed? [14:38] i've been reading docs all morning and this is the best [or most up to date] one i found [14:38] all the rest is dated 2006 or so [14:38] probably yamm [14:39] does anyone knows this issue? does the X needs the video cable connected in order to work ? [14:39] schnuffle: still, i'd enjoy finding out WHAT that naming violation is exactly [14:39] Im not sure yamm but i would suspect that it does not need a physical cable [14:39] YammYgirlcoding: why not just use 'vncserver' theres no need to start GDM, or X locally if theres no actual display [14:39] SethX: I'm just searching for a good introduction, the age doesn't matter, no big changes [14:40] YammYgirlcoding: disable gdm, start vncserver from rc.local or some other way. [14:40] some forums attribute this error to misconfigured dc's , but dunno, i think i got those right.. [14:40] i have no access to the remote server. [14:40] afk [14:40] ssh? nothing? [14:40] YammYgirlcoding: then how are you connecting to the remote box ? [14:40] it should be asolution where i dont need to go there physically [14:40] i have ip [14:40] YammYgirlcoding: no cable needed you can even conect tot the box with vnc en get full grapichs [14:40] YammYgirlcoding, I have boxes running without a monitor or keyboard/mouse. I use VNC to access. they boot fine [14:40] YammYgirlcoding: explain what you are tryign to do exactly. [14:41] I'm trying to use x11vnc [14:41] YammYgirlcoding: you may want to try "ssh -X hostname" [14:41] YammYgirlcoding: dont use x11vnc use a stand alone vncserver [14:41] if you cannot get visual access why not just ssh into the terminal [14:41] to connect to the machine. it works from another place, but from my new ubuntu 10.4 doesnt work [14:41] I use vnc4server [14:41] having problems installing trac :( [14:41] that doesnt need an X ? [14:41] x11vncserver needs a X server going.. and if theres no one there locally (or no monitor) its wasteing resoruces. [14:42] Internal Server Error [14:42] TracError: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied [14:42] YammYgirlcoding: vnc is integrated in ubuntu only set password [14:42] a stand alone vncserver can run by itself. (it can run a dozsen instances if you want) [14:42] what are *.o files? [14:42] gnome has its own built in vncserver feature - but with no local display. thats a bit pointless also. [14:42] i tryed to start the X. it start.s but when my vnc client tries to connect, it shuts down the vnc service with some odd error [14:42] eXpLoD: object files [14:42] . files are hidden [14:42] compiled .c files [14:42] YammYgirlcoding: and how are you trying to start X ? [14:42] but when you run vncserver, make sure you use port 5901, 5902, etc [14:43] sorry i thought you said where not what [14:43] it says 25/01/2011 21:06:14 wait_for_client: find display cmd failed. [14:43] is the 32bit image targeting i386 or i686 ? [14:43] hmm i cant change the port, because i dont have access to the router from here [14:43] kami686 [14:43] gotta use 5900 port [14:43] Jeanne-Kamikaze: i686 [14:44] kthx [14:44] YammYgirlcoding: if you can ssh in, you can just run a app 'remotely' and have it appear locally. no need for a X server, or vnc on the remote box. [14:44] yammy are you using a hosting service? [14:44] hello, can someone help me please, i am trying to uninstall ubuntu, but i cannot seem to format my drive, its driving me crazy! [14:44] Has anybody set up FreeRadius on Ubuntu? [14:44] hi all - would love some help getting trac to work [14:44] followd this guide: http://blog.firelabi.com/2010/12/ubuntu-1010-how-to-setup-trac.html [14:44] I get Internal Server Error [14:44] TracError: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/jryda/project/trac/VERSION' [14:44] when viewing at localhost:8000/trac [14:44] jryda_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:45] jonny, download gparted and boot from the cd [14:45] jonny: delete the partitions using a gparted live cd, then use whatver os you want to repartition/reformat as needed. [14:45] i am useing a netbook [14:45] windows should be able to delete the partitons also. [14:45] set the partition label to msdos [14:45] Roasted: it might be better to ask the channel a specific question about what you are doing. [14:45] then build the table [14:45] so i have to do it all with a USB [14:45] !who [14:45] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:45] jonny: you may want to be sure you got windows bootloader reinstalled first. [14:45] jonny: most every iso/live cd out - can be put on a pendrive. [14:45] sipior, well, I installed freeradius, and I have no idea where to go from here. I was hoping somebody may have already set it up so I could ask several questions about it - not just one. [14:46] i normaly install xp from the USB but i have to change to C: in dos but C: is not there [14:46] Pici bruder hozsanna to you:) [14:46] jonny: repartition the hd, then reformat it. === veki is now known as Da|Mummy [14:46] Roasted: how about picking one question, seeing if anyone can help, and then asking them the other ones later on :-) [14:46] jonny: if theres no windows partitions. then theres no c: or other letters. [14:46] Cyberfusion its not a hosting, it's my boyfriend house. [14:46] i am trying to do that, but i dont know how [14:46] Cyberfusion and we are here trying to vnc there [14:46] sipior, well, my first question is - has anybody set up freeradius. ;) [14:47] sipior, the following questions follow the initial one above. [14:47] i have tried to delete the whole partition, but ubuntu wont let me [14:47] Roasted: and that hasn't gotten you very far. [14:47] jonny: #windows channel perhaps can help. I dont use XP any more. [14:47] jonny: you can delete the partions from a XP/windows cd/install also.. [14:47] Cyberfusion but the display is without the video cable connected, i wondered if this makes the X unable to start.. [14:47] if you cannot use a cd-rom then use unetbootin [14:47] sipior, well freeradius in itself isnt the most popular thing among this channel. I've asked in sever channels, centos, fedora, debian, etc. I don't think network admins hang out in these channels much. [14:47] jonny: or use the fdisk command and the 'd' to delete.. to delete them all.. then 'w'rite changes to disk. [14:47] i cant run the xp installtion, that is the problem [14:48] Roasted: have you tried #ubuntu-server as well? [14:48] jonny: the xp installer may have some partioning tools. I dont use it. so you got options mentioned above to try. [14:48] yammy: i honestly dont think a cable has anything to do with it [14:48] i will try gparted on a usb [14:48] but it could be something weird idk [14:48] will that boot from dos ? [14:49] sipior, not yet today, but I have. I'll try that now. [14:49] jonny: gparted is a special linux disrto for 'partitoning' and workign with hard drives. [14:49] jonny: you set the usb to boot in the bios [14:49] jonny: you can use it to delete all partions if you want. and remake new ones how you like. [14:49] see the error stuff: http://pastebin.com/xtgbSKxm [14:49] wtf tuks the fat penguin? [14:49] jonny, lots on google about gparted on usb [14:49] schnuffle: i'm gonna have lunch now, /query me if you find anything interesting. fyi i use postfix and dovecot [14:49] ok cool thanks for ur help guys, i have been pulling my hair out lol [14:49] I would setup an extended partition then create virtural partitions inside that for linux [14:50] but first install windows if you really want that [14:50] he said that sometimes he can't connect to vcn remotely from another pc at his house. but when he goes physically to the client machine, and type on the keyboard, the vcn works [14:50] we have no clue [14:50] wake on lan maybe [14:51] yammy: that sounds like the computer is going into sleep without user inputs [14:51] the client or the server ? [14:52] yammy im not really sure how your network is setup [14:52] Cyberfusion like. server is pc1. I go to pc2, ssh on pc3 and try to vcn to pc1. not work. I go to pc3 vnc to pc1 , it works [14:52] SethX: http://www.grennan.com/ldap-HOWTO.html [14:53] wow sorry yammy thats beyond me sorry [14:53] it looks like it want me to be physically there typing on the client, to accept the vnc connection on X [14:53] Has anybody set up FreeRadius on Ubuntu? [14:53] !radius [14:53] fail :P [14:54] Time to check the wiki page for you then :) i guess. [14:54] been there. [14:54] maybe anyoned could tell me about what the X needs to work [14:54] Roasted: long time ago, http://wiki.freeradius.org/Basic_configuration_HOWTO [14:54] I thought the PC was headless.. so it has a keyboard but no monitor YammYgirlcoding ? [14:54] i guess the X creates those 'desktops' which you can switch the numbers [14:55] Dr_Willis yes! [14:55] Roasted: let's just pretend that the answer to your question is "yes." can you now ask your real question? have we jumped through enough hoops? === schnuffle2 is now known as schnuffle [14:55] YammYgirlcoding: sounds like its going to sleep then.. and some how taking its time wakeing up [14:55] http://pastebin.com/xtgbSKxm see the erros thing, please. [14:55] YammYgirlcoding: no need to run gdm, or a local X server on it.. ssh in, run vncserver, connect via a vnc client.. [14:55] YammYgirlcoding: or just ssh -X remotebox, and run whatever app you need and have it appear locally. [14:55] It starts the x11vnc service. but when i try to connect, it drops the service with some odd error [14:56] sipior, surely. I installed it. Now what? [14:56] I suggest using tightvnv or vnc4server, not x11vnc. [14:56] or just X forwarding [14:56] before i try another solution, i wanted to understand why it doesnt work [14:56] gotta be something wrong i'm doing [14:56] Roasted: you've got the service running, you've got it working with a local authentication database? [14:56] x11vnc is proberly confused because X is not running. [14:57] how can i create a desktop icon that sources a shell script in a terminal and leaves the terminal window open in ubuntu [14:57] x11vnc is designed to share the current X desktop/session if i recall. [14:57] i have a wild guess that it could be the wol/magic packets === rohit is now known as Guest65029 [14:57] from the error link (http://pastebin.com/xtgbSKxmhttp://pastebin.com/xtgbSKxm) you could tell why it's not working ? [14:57] sipior, that's the problem. of all of the guides I read, nothing goes into ANY sort of detail about configuration or taking it to the next step. I installed it, and the guide stops. I just have no idea what else to do. [14:57] edgarallanpoe: You want the script to exit to a bash shell? or just stay open? [14:57] 好阿 [14:58] stone this is an english server [14:58] Roasted: this thread might be a start: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=478804 [14:58] !cn | stone_ [14:58] stone_: 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 [14:58] but a little [14:58] Dr_Willis: i want a button that is equivalent to me opening a terminal and typing "source x" [14:58] oh boy [14:58] people said this was easy [14:58] sorry [14:59] i'm trying to figure it out why the X is not working exactly. maybe it could be fixed somehow [14:59] edgarallanpoe: xterm has a -e option to execute commands as do many other terminal apps. that can proberly do what you want. [14:59] edgarallanpoe: you may need to have it like 'xterm -e "bash yourscript"' [14:59] thank you [14:59] Roasted: also, how far did you get with the docs at http://freeradius.org/doc/? [14:59] ok [14:59] Roasted: made it past the initial tests? [15:00] sipior, I hadn't seen this particular page. I was on "deployradius" or something. I thought THAT was the official site. [15:00] i study english now [15:00] Roasted: well, have fun reading :-) [15:00] sipior, the day is young yet. hopefully I can get through this pretty fast though. [15:01] sipior, I'm used to moving around, though. not sitting in front of a laptop remoting in to a VM box setting these hizzy's up. gah. [15:01] Roasted: radius is a bit hairy, so do small steps and test,test and test again before the next step [15:01] i'm trying to boot 9.10 livecd (usb), but after the logo, i get blank screen with backlight. i access the console using alt+ctrl+f1, and tried to kill x, do Xorg -configure, but X restarts by itself as soon as i kill the process. [15:01] numm: stop the GDm service. [15:01] how game ? [15:01] okay [15:01] schnuffle, this may be a stupid question, but what do I test with? I don't want to take our main radius server offline. Can I configure a single access point to hit the radius server I'm setting up for testing purposes? [15:01] numm: sudo service gdm stop (is one way) [15:02] cs [15:02] YammYgirlcoding, I would install ssh on all computers you need access too problem solved ! not the solution you need right now though sorry! === sean is now known as Guest20480 [15:02] Does anyone got any guide on how to recompile the kernel? [15:03] Roasted: of course ou should create yourself a local test area [15:03] schnuffle, yeah I know. I'm just asking if a single AP can be configured for THAT. [15:03] Dr_Willis, again the same thing, after I killed 3 gdm processes, I get black screen for a second, the sound and then back to only backgroundlighted screen [15:03] how can i get 1440*900 for plymouth? i can only get as high as 1280*1024 [15:03] Roasted: Yes === cesar_ is now known as Guest40588 [15:04] Dr_Willis, okay, thanks, it doesn't start again, now i need to try to fix the no screen problem [15:04] buenas === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [15:04] alguien habla español [15:05] !es | Guest40588 [15:05] Guest40588: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

[15:06] edwardteach yes ssh is installed, but i wanted the gui interface, not just the terminal =) [15:06] Hey guys [15:06] apt-get upgrade . is a ubuntu command right? [15:07] Xintruder: yes. installs updates [15:07] Xintruder: what do you want to do ? [15:07] Xintruder: correct, need to use it with sudo [15:07] Xintruder: its an 'apt' command :) not ubuntu specific [15:07] ecryptfs in ubuntu, and the passphrase to unlock the encrypted volume, is this the same as the login password or is it a special generated password that gets generated at first time? [15:07] trying to recover my stuff... [15:07] I saw it in Backtrack :/ I remembered ubuntu :/ [15:07] is it the same? [15:07] Rockj: its a generated password which is encrypted using your login password [15:07] Backtrack is based on ubuntu, and uses the apt packageing system.. yes. [15:08] maco: so not possible to regenerate when I only know my login password huh? :) [15:08] !apt | Xintruder [15:08] Xintruder: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) [15:08] maco: FML? :-) [15:08] Hi [15:08] So can I say: Unix >> Linux >> Debian >> Ubuntu >> Backtrack :D [15:08] ? [15:08] Any Natty users around? [15:08] Xintruder: no [15:08] YammYgirlcoding, xnest was a good solution for that! desktop in a window ! [15:08] Or is there a special Natty channel? [15:08] dneary_: #ubuntu+1 [15:08] Rockj: well its not a full volume encryption...it's directory encryption. the key is stored on-disk, ecnrypted with your password, so you can just decrypt it [15:08] schnuffle: does this make sense to you? http://www.linuxmail.info/postfix-dovecot-ldap-centos-5/ or better, do you consider it viable ? [15:08] Thanks ikonia [15:09] maco: hm, where is it stored?

[15:58] undecim, So with a proper install should I upgrade the grub when prompted in Ubuntu? [15:58] sss: It still boggles my mind that Canonical doesn't either fix it or stop offering Wubi so readily. [15:58] sss: Yes [15:58] sss: A proper install will handle Grub updates just fine [15:58] sss: That happen when you're trying to put one OS inside another OS instead of dual-boot.

[15:59] sss: Though it is recommended that if possible, you backup your important files [16:00] Hey I had to reinstall ubuntu, and now transmission get's no connection... before it went extremely fast [16:00] sss: The one big step a proper install does that Wubi doesn't is a repartitioning [16:00] schnuffle: debfoster does the trick tho, thanks a lot!! [16:00] do you need to modify something for transmission that I might have forgotten?

[16:05] undecim: well, first transmission was extremely slow, and was using UPnP... I disabled it and forwarded the necessary ports on my router, which did nothing, I removed the forward rule and re-enabled UPnp... but now it won't do anything [16:05] undecim: test port returns Open [16:05] hi.

[16:19] !best > schnuffle [16:19] schnuffle, please see my private message [16:19] hi [16:19] undecim, well the situation is: the PSU in my other machine blew so i dropped the HDD into a older machine. It ran REALLY badly to start off with which I found to be due to a NVIDIA driver still being active. So now it's better but in firefox I'm getting lag when displaying web pages and selecting text etc. [16:19] raluxgaza, sony vaio f-serie is awesome but needs some tricks to work well... [16:19] Where does gnome store error messages? [16:19] undecim: okay thanks, what about a reinstall for transmission? [16:19] Jeruvy: /var/log maybe? [16:19] Kruptein: No, reinstalling won't do anything [16:19] hi i need some help, ubuntu has stopped mounting one of my hard drives i use to have it auto mount useing fstab but all of a sudden something has happened and not mounting auto, tried manual mount and says unable to mount, have removed from fstab and tried force mounting no joy any ideas anyone please [16:19] Kruptein: However, you can remove the transmission config directories from your home folder. [16:20] Kruptein: Which is probably what you mean to do with a reinstall [16:20] i need to develop openoffice Writer feature [16:20] what can i do [16:20] o also i get the message when i try and mount of mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, [16:20] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [16:20] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [16:20] dmesg | tail or so [16:20] home: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:20] home: check the HDD with e2fsck [16:20] administrator_: I'd start in their channel: #openoffice.org [16:20] I need a laptop that will work out of the box with ubuntu without any headaches [16:20] Kruptein: Give me a minute and I'll give you precise instructions. I need to see where Transmission keeps all its config. [16:20] undecim: I can't find a ".transmission" folder [16:20] sorry thank you, i tried e2fsck no joy [16:20] undecim: oh okay :p [16:21] Kruptein: First of all, you should close transmission [16:21] where i can find source code [16:21] ? [16:21] undecim: I already thought I had to do that ;) [16:21] ok [16:21] undecim: found it : .config/transmission [16:21] if i can create feature what can i do [16:21] * ~/.config/transmission... [16:22] Kruptein: Also, .cache/transmission [16:22] undecim: so just rm -rf both? [16:22] do i need to install nvidias official driver to be able to use flash player's Video Acceleration ? [16:22] Kruptein: Yup [16:22] wtf... i add a NS to /etc/resolv.conf.. but it seems it never get queried [16:22] or nslookup name addeddnsserver - works.. but not adding it to resolv.conf [16:23] how do you install grub2 to a different disk? grub1 was just grub --install /dev/sda ? [16:23] Squarism: Can I see a pastebin of your resolv.conf? [16:23] undecim: it only uploads :f [16:23] and I don't like that [16:23] I only want download :D [16:23] arosen: grub-install /dev/sda [16:23] Kruptein: Well, give it a minute [16:24] Kruptein: upload means you're connecting with peers [16:24] undecim: sounds logical, I'm connected with 1 peer [16:24] Kruptein: Most torrent programs will return the favor when you seed [16:24] undecim: network is at least back again, not as fast as before my crash, but it works, so thanks [16:25] hi [16:25] I used to have 1MiB/s and now I have 30KiB/s :D [16:26] is there any program for monitoring gpu performance ? similar as top or htop [16:26] Class: xsensors [16:26] Kruptein: This may very well be the torrent/tracker [16:26] schnuffle: I'm trying to do this, but it isn't working. Those are the commands that I use in vim (in the sinqle quotes) http://pastebin.com/pyqj98sC [16:26] Class; sorry thats incorrect, that will display temps. not performance. [16:27] undecim: I hope it is :p [16:27] i used a app in full screen and now my mouse cursor is distorted, ubuntu 10.10 is there any way i can refresh the mouse so it goes back to normal with out restarting ?? [16:27] hi,I cant get my touchscreen (flatron L15105F) working right on ubuntu10.10 (my cursor moves up wen i move my finger down) Can someone give me advise? [16:27] Kruptein: You can do a test run with the latest Ubuntu ISO. Those always download fast [16:28] Jeruvy, yep i know :) i have already found it http://www.linuxhardware.org/nvclock/ [16:28] undecim: good idea, they are indeed fast [16:28] Rypervenche: so the first should mean goto line 30 and delete a line? [16:28] schnuffle: It means delete the first 30 lines. [16:29] when trying to play full screen anything like youtube, the screen freezed === tommi is now known as tommis [16:30] windyone: There is a fix for that [16:30] undecim can you give me the fix? [16:30] greetings [16:30] open a terminal and type "sudo mkdir /etc/adobe", then "echo OverrideGPUValidation=true | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg" [16:31] windyone: open a terminal and type "sudo mkdir /etc/adobe", then "echo OverrideGPUValidation=true | sudo tee /etc/adobe/mms.cfg" [16:31] windyone: Then, restart your web browser [16:31] undecim: wouldn't you have to 'sudo touch /etc/adobe/mms.cfg' aswell? [16:32] aeon-ltd: Why? [16:32] undecim: you just made a fresh directory, wouldn't it be empty? [16:32] come si fa a cercare file [16:33] wat up all [16:33] aeon-ltd: Not when tee echo writes the option to mms.cfg [16:33] hey does any have a great macro recoder for ubuntu [16:33] aeon-ltd: err... echo | tee, not tee echo, lol [16:33] undecim: oh will tee create a file during the process? [16:33] !it | francuzzo [16:33] francuzzo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [16:33] Rypervenche: I see, wait I'll check for the right commands [16:33] aeon-ltd: Correct [16:33] undecim: cool, learnt something new today :) [16:33] francuzzo, ciao francuzzo nel canale #ubuntu-it trovi supporto in italiano [16:33] ok. tried all of it and it looks like on the last command, terminal is just blinking cursor. [16:34] aeon-ltd: Awesome! Today was productive then :) [16:34] I will try now to restart [16:34] francuzzo, in una qualsiasi cartella, cliccando ctrl+F dovrebbe apparire la ricerca [16:34] schnuffle: Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it. === z is now known as Guest74467 [16:34] undecim: heh, unlike other days where hours are spent in offtopic rooms [16:35] This morning I booted my 10.04 desktop which has 3 screens. I noticed the desktop was a bit slower starting, then when gnome panels appeared there were errors and one screen is missing the panel (does not respond to right mouse click either) ideas? [16:35] undecim: hm 400KiB but that's nice enough for the moment :p [16:35] thanks [16:36] undecim it appears as though there is a problem. Nothing is happening in th eterminal so I went to close it and it says there is still a process and willstop if I close [16:36] undecim, any ideas on the output of fstab? [16:37] windyone: You have to type your password for the first of those two commands [16:37] Tricks: Nothing out of order there. At what point do you see the /tmp message? [16:38] Ok, I booted session into 'failsafe gnome' and all panels appeared. How can I use this to fix my problem? [16:38] undecim, when the ubuntu splash screen appears [16:38] I've tried resetting the panels. [16:38] Hello, is anyone using an pre 2000 machine? I am using a Compaq presario5000 from like 98 and have a few issues with videocard drivers. I use an ATI Radeon 9250 pci card and cannot get proper drivers. Can anyone help me? [16:38] Tricks: It's in the purple screen? [16:39] Tricks: Does it stop the boot process or anything like that? [16:39] undecim, nah before that when the ubuntu logo shows with the 4 or 5 dots [16:39] strigoi_66: i have pre 2000 systems. Your video chip is supported by the open driver [16:39] undecim, yes i have to press I to ignore [16:39] Tricks: Yeah, that screen is usually purple, isn't it? [16:39] strigoi_66: the driver is part of a default install. [16:39] undecim, ah mines black :P might be my eyes [16:39] Yes but does not install properly maybe due to old platform? [16:40] Hello All. Question: LVM won't let me use the 4th partition on sda in 10.10, what gives? [16:40] I can only get a resolution of 800*600 [16:40] strigoi_66: if your monitor is old it may not repot EDID so you may need to form an xorg.conf file to tell the OS how to use the display hardware [16:40] Tricks: Okay, I'm just trying to determine where this problem is originating. I suppose it has to be something the initrd is doing, since you don't have a /tmp in your fstab [16:40] does anyone know how to load the qualcomm driver? CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_QUALCOMM=m . what is the module name? [16:41] Tricks: You say this happens after a power failure? [16:41] thank you for the information. [16:41] Tricks: And only after? [16:41] undecim, yes that's correct PSU blew i dropped the HDD into an old machine then it started [16:41] I have tried the xorg.config file and still have come up short [16:41] Rypervenche: I'm out of time have to do some shopping, if you're there maybe I can get you the stuff later [16:42] strigoi_66: if you pastebin your attempt, I may be able to advise [16:42] schnuffle: Ok, thank you. [16:42] undecim, there was smoke coming out of the computer and everything lol [16:43] Tricks: Alright, just did a grep of the initrd scripts, and it looks like I was wrong about that... [16:43] ActionParsnip: I am new to linux, only been using it for 4months now and am not sure what you meant by "Pastebin" attemp? [16:44] strigoi_66: got to http://pastie.org and show the xorg.conf file you have [16:45] undecim, well I'm not too bothered mate it's more the performance. It lags when i type etc and the older machine isn't that bad and should easily be able to handle what I'm doing [16:45] Tricks: Did you have a separate /tmp partition on the other computer that this HDD was used [16:45] Tricks: Have you tried an Ubuntu livecd and compared the performance to what you are dealing with now? === rohit is now known as Guest7188 [16:46] strigoi_66: theres a good looking xorg.conf file here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=935162 [16:46] undecim, no I haven't to be fair [16:46] Tricks: The LiveCD will lag sometimes at it reads the disk, but you should be able to notice when it goes faster than your current install [16:46] hi guys i created a bash script that i want to be run on startup [16:47] undecim, I have system monitor open atm plus one firefox instance a terminal and xchat and I have a constant 100% CPU usage [16:47] where do i need to place a sym link to it? [16:47] There is no compiler for C++ in ubuntu 10.04... what to do? [16:47] Tricks: What is using up all the CPU?

Again thank you for your help [16:48] undecim, that's just it... nothing system monitor says it should only be using 50% [16:48] Tricks: does top offer you anything more useful? [16:48] QUESTION: where can I find vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf in Ubuntu 9.04? [16:48] undecim, I'll try [16:48] strigoi_66: np man, if it doesn't work you may need to set the refresh rates in the monitor section [16:48] !eol | vikas_007sharma [16:48] vikas_007sharma: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [16:48] vikas_007sharma, what a rare question [16:48] vikas: I think maybe it's /etc/apache2/httpd.conf you are looking for? [16:49] strigoi_66: if you get no display, boot to root recovery mode and rename xorg.conf then reboot [16:49] vikas_007sharma: jaunty is dead and gone dude [16:49] abhijit: I know eol. I vl upgrade soon. [16:49] hmm [16:50] undecim, backend is using around 60% [16:50] Tricks: backend? [16:50] undecim:In joomla While trying to save in Global Configuration, I'm getting error saying: Could not save data. Error: *Could not write to the configuration file.* [16:50] undecim, then xorg bout 20% although it varies depending on what I'm doing [16:50] undecim, yup command = backend [16:50] vikas_007sharma: Ah, the configuration file it's referring to is not the apache config [16:51] Tricks: I have no idea what backend does, lol. I don't have it on my system [16:51] undecim: then? [16:51] vikas_007sharma: It's a file in the joomla directory [16:51] undecim, right I'll kill it then but it's running under root [16:51] vikas_007sharma: one moment, please [16:51] What is the "backend" process? [16:52] undecim, surely it shouldn't be using upto 70% CPU tho [16:52] :s [16:52] I'm trying to save in global config. [16:53] undecim: While trying to save in Global Configuration, I'm getting error saying: Could not save data. Error: *Could not write to the configuration file.* [16:53] vikas_007sharma: You need to make configuration.php in the joomla directory writable. [16:53] vikas_007sharma: prefix the running of the editor with: gksudo [16:53] vikas_007sharma: That is the file Joomla is trying to write to. [16:53] undecim, ah backend is from system testing [16:54] undecim Sorry for the delay I had distractions at the door... It did work... as if you had any doubts... thx for the help Pal. [16:54] undecim, it's a bug apparently [16:54] vikas_007sharma: Is joomla installed in your home directory in public_html, or in /var/www?

[16:55] undecim, thanks mate 20%... knew there was something wrong lol [16:56] undecim, I'll remember to use top from now on :P [16:56] vikas_007sharma: Then open a terminal and type "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www" to make sure www-data is the owner and group of all the files in /var/www [16:57] vikas_007sharma: Then you can type "sudo chmod -R u+rw /var/www to make sure that all the files there can be read/written by www-data" [16:57] !usb [16:57] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [16:57] vikas_007sharma: Then Joomla should have no problems saving configurations [16:58] hello, I am having trouble installing a package (python-scipy) on natty; the errors are as follows: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/558620/ [16:58] al-maisan: #ubuntu+1 for natty questions [16:58] how can i set my pwer option on do nothing when i closed m lid. this is problem after installation mac4lin theme it dont have option as default ubuntu theme have [16:58] undecim: thanks!

Does anyone know if there is a driver for it yet? [16:59] undecim: okk [17:00] hi , my webcamera doesn't work on ubuntu, what i have to do? [17:00] patrik: Are you sure you need a driver to use it? I've never heard of an Atheros NIC not working out of the box with Ubuntu [17:00] patrik: unless by NIC, you mean a wireless card.

I installed 7zip, now how do I change the default program settings to open .RARs with it in the future? Much thanks. :) [17:01] hi [17:01] ActionParsnip: let me check [17:01] undecim, No it's a normal NIC. But the mother board is spanking new. Sandy Bridge... [17:01] Fishmeistercod: if you install the proper rar pacakges the default archive manager can handle them [17:01] Fishmeistercod: install the unrar package perhaps. not 7zip [17:01] Oh. Okay, lemme try that. :D [17:01] undecim, I was quite suprised myself when it didn't work [17:01] Fishmeistercod: if you install p7zip-rar and p7zip full you can use fileroller like you do all the other compression formats you use === mk is now known as Guest98848 [17:01] Fishmeistercod: or use unrar -e foo.rar [17:01] To the person that was helping strigoi_66, I tried the "sudo Xorg -configure" command and got a blank screen that halted all pc operations had to do a hard reset then got message "Low graphics mode" and reset x. now appears to be working.

[17:03] Kruptein: you may be able to get nautilus scripts and do it [17:03] Dr_Willis_, why would that help? [17:03] metalfan__: it has helped in the past.. so yes.. [17:03] ActionParsnip: you perhaps don't know any? :p [17:03] Dr_Willis_, ok. thx [17:03] undecim, It's not related to Intel. What is needed is a driver that support my Atheros card. I'll check the kernel source. If I'm lucky, it's just a matter of adding the PCI ID to the LKM. [17:03] Kruptein: any what?

[17:08] Quatroking, i found this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [17:08] ActionParsnip: thnx [17:10] Quatroking: just do a normal install.. tell it to go to the usb hd... be sure grub is installed to the proper device at the end. [17:10] so a normal install on the USB stick should do fine as long as I install grub along with it, on the stick [17:10] Quatroking: this is not a persistant 'live' usb - its a normal 'full' install. for differnt hardware machines. You may want to go the live/persistant route. [17:10] anyone ever designed an authentication for api using the new oauth2?

You could try switching to a different mirror and see if it has a better time downloading mysql [17:18] patrik: And I'm not using any modules for it. It works right out of the box [17:19] undecim, Does it have device id 1083? [17:19] patrik: 1063, but both of those are supposed to be supported under the same driver [17:19] noonian: it is not in regards to download speed it is hung, as in it is stuck at 77% for over two hours [17:19] checking my error logs [17:19] 77% installing or downloading?

[17:20] patrik: There is no module... it's built into the kernel [17:20] patrik: Wait, nevermind [17:20] patrik: atl1c [17:20] patrik: Missed that one somehow :) [17:20] i would cancel it and try again first :P or try installing using apt. It shouldnt take 2 hours [17:21] Hello, when I send a folder via bluetooth to my nokia it ends up as a zip file on my nokia. How can I tell bluetooth to not do that ? [17:21] or something. [17:21] undecim, ok, thanks. I'll check the source to see if it is included. But pci_ids.h doesn't mention my device id [17:21] ActionParsnip: the cam works with cheese, but it doesn't work with a-msn [17:22] asdf39: ok if it works with cheese you don't need to mess with drivers [17:22] unknown0BC: try with each file in the folder [17:22] debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailabletasksel: debconf failed to run [17:22] lol [17:22] asdf39: try: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so amsn [17:22] ActionParsnip: is there any problem with MS protocol? [17:22] puppy_, duh ! [17:22] undecim, Yes! It is listed. Perhaps I just need a newer kernel. [17:22] asdf39: should be ok, could try emesene [17:23] ActionParsnip: it doesn't work there too [17:23] patrik: How old is your kernel?... [17:23] ActionParsnip: what does this command that you send me? [17:24] asdf39: tried the command I gave? Is there a config in amsn/emesene to configure/define the webcam? [17:24] undecim, It's 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu [17:24] asdf39: it loads a file before starting the app [17:25] patrik: Then the NIC should work just fine [17:26] how do I delete files from my ubuntu one account? [17:26] undecim, Yes, I checked the diff for when they added the support. It was on the 1st of June 2010. Strange that it doesn't say anything in dmesg about finding an interface.

[17:30] ActionParsnip, Its a Toshiba Tecra M2 [17:30] staar2, "dpkg -L sun-java6-jre" or "whereis java" might help [17:31] ZykoticK9, yeah whereis java found something [17:31] cellardoor: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/ubuntu_1010_%E2%80%9Cmaverick_meerkat%E2%80%9D_officially_released [17:31] patrik: Okay, lshw says that your NIC is there, but there is no driver claiming it...

Is there any fix for this, other than disabling my second screen? [17:33] cellardoor: if you run: lsmod | grep tosh do you see 'toshiba_acpi'?

[17:34] ActionParsnip, about to try the fix in the link Dangr_ gave me [17:34] zaxonpsox; i got the same on my old comp with nvidia. do you just not go fullscreen? === nick is now known as Guest52966 [17:34] Psycho_Mario, do you have identical Monitors? [17:34] undecim, ok i am trying to connect it to ethernet in ubuntu... stay here. [17:35] Is there any way to reduce the number of processes gnome uses? I'm using ubuntu over VNC and I really do not need most of these -panel, -monitor, -applet things running. Nor do I need any of the fancy graphics [17:35] Dangr_, that guide tells me to go for /etc/default/grub [17:35] zaxonspox; no, one is 1024x786 and the other is 1440x900 (main) [17:35] Dangr_, no such file, I think the article is outdated [17:35] anybody know some good way to recovery data from disc or flash drive? [17:35] Hm [17:35] SirSpam: add -C option when you connect via ssh to enable compression [17:35] I recall finding it, it is for 10.10 ?_? [17:36] karlo94: use backups [17:36] Psycho_Mario, thats why, i have 15" @ 1024x768 and 17" @ 1280x1024 - the only way is to have the same monitors (resolution and size) [17:36] but that just enables compression, it doesn't prevent things from starting up does it? [17:36] cellardoor: sorry I thought that was what I used. It regulates my towers fans. Don't have a laptop though so maybe its different. IDK [17:36] karlo94: foremost may be able to help if your backups are insufficient [17:36] zaxonspox; is it spread over both monitors for you? [17:36] Dangr_, seems so.. although.. it looks like a bootline extension to me.. I could just shove it on the end of my kernel line and see if its of any use [17:37] how to set the java from OpenJDK to Sun java ? [17:37] SirSpam: true, you could make a new user with a lot of the services disabled in the startup options [17:37] ActionParsnip, backups is program? :D [17:37] undecim, Perhaps I need better support for my chipset. Might be some bridge issue. I'll try a newer kernel. [17:37] zaxonspox; ignore that, i didnt read properly [17:37] Psycho_Mario, no, i have TwinView enabled - just like 2 seperate monitors [17:38] karlo94: yes, you can take a backup using partimage [17:38] karlo94, check out photorec which is part of the testdisk package is good for file recovery/undelete (if you use have a supported filesystem) [17:39] zaxonspox; its a bug from flash apparently, its been filed in the adobe bug system [17:39] I will look for this packages ..tnx [17:39] Psycho_Mario, no wonder - Adobe didnt predict We would do configure our monitors like this [17:40] karlo94: you will need to have used partimage before the issue to backup the OS [17:40] staar2: when you install sun java the switch should be made [17:40] hey Mario help me with this bluetooth probelm [17:41] zaxonspox; it seems to be over three years old (the bug) [17:41] zaxonspox: What flash issue are you having? [17:41] Psycho_Mario, it seems there are some companies that SH** over some users [17:41] would it be safe to just kill all these -applet, -panel processes? [17:42] SirSpam: Usually, yes. It will kill some of the things on your panel though [17:42] Does anyone know of a panel indicator for Samba, to tell you whether there are currently any file locks? I'd like to know when someone's accessing a file on my system via Samba, so I don't interrupt their access by logging out and such. [17:42] undecim, i have 15" @ 1024x768 and 17" @ 1280x1024 - flash on full screen (on smaller monitor) gets CROPPED [17:42] I need someone who is god with skype, because trying to fix this bug is getting ridiculous. Any hard drive activity from another program causes skype to lock up, slow down the computer, and give jerky sound. WHY?!

[17:43] undecim, hi...i booted in to ubuntu connected via ethernet [17:43] I know that smbstatus -L gives you lock information, but that's only so useful.

[17:43] blue_pearl: Okay, open a terminal and type "iwlist eth1 scan" [17:43] every web gui i open on it informs me that it wants to create suffixes [17:44] hey is anyone having an issue with brasero not ejecting the dvd? I googled it and checked the forums but am at a loss. :( [17:44] the problem is that it wants to create stuff like ou=People,dc=my-domain,dc=com << literally "my-domain" [17:44] i've been grepping my configs and i cant seem to find traces of that anywhere [17:44] undecim, eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning. [17:44] also, slapcat outputs the proper domain, ie the result of hostname -d [17:44] wil_: I've never had luck with Brasero and it seems to sit for ages after a burn. I suggest you try gnomebaker [17:45] wil_ the permissions on you cdrom drive might be set so that you cant eject without admin priveledges [17:45] you got any idea on wtf this thing wants from me?

[18:04] Whenever I connect to a VPN with ShrewSoft in ubuntu 10.10, I lose my wired network connection. In ubuntu 9.10 I could just "disable" and then "re-enable" networking (via the tray icon) to resolve this, but in 10.10 it doesn't work and I ultimately have to do a hard shutdown (holding the power button). What can I do to fix it? [18:04] jon8, check mysqld. sounds like you have the client running. [18:04] jon8: See the output of /etc/init.d/mysql status [18:04] im having trouble with printer [18:05] soreau .. [18:05] Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [18:05] utility, e.g. service mysql status [18:05] thats what it says [18:05] GCC stands for GNU Compiler Collection [18:05] asdf39: good it's present then :) [18:05] mikedoty: Sounds like a route issue. [18:05] mysql respawn/post-start, (post-start) process 16478 [18:05] ActionParsnip: what i have to do now? [18:05] jon8: So use service mysql status [18:05] I think it says no filter or something [18:05] jon8: try: ps -ef | grep -i sql [18:05] soreau mysql respawn/post-start, (post-start) process 16478 [18:05] ActionParsnip nothing :( [18:05] jon8: That means it's running [18:06] mikedoty: A pastebin of the outputs of route and ifconfig when you lose wireless would be helpful [18:06] asdf39: not sure man, maybe others can contribute. Maybe there are configs in the apps to make it work. The fact it works in cheese is very good and the driver is loaded and working [18:06] jon8: You can do service mysql stop && service mysql start or, service mysql restart [18:06] jon8: ok try: ps -ef | less and scroll up and down [18:07] mikedoty: wired* [18:07] why does chkconfig say cron is off yet cron is running? [18:08] Okay, let me connect tot he vpn. I'll see what I get [18:08] mikedoty: Do a before and after on them [18:09] hi, my usb playstation adaptor isnt working, how can i make it work?

I am running a dual boot laptop running ubuntu 10.10 and win xp. I hook my laptop to my 50" tv as a monitor. here is the issue. when i boot into ubuntu and immediatelly close the lid "before it actually boots up" the picture on the tv is fine but the laptop screen won't go off. "the settings are set to blank screen when closed" but when i actually let it boot up then close the lid it actually blanks but the pictur [18:12] e on my tv goes crazy flickering like its having a seizure and never clears up [18:12] yes my home is already on another partition, i don't see any /var in my fstab [18:12] anyone know where the ati video config is in ubuntu? this sets it, but won't last a reboot. Must be set from CLI. aticonfig --set-dispattrib=tmds2,sizeX:1920 # to set X resolution [18:12] (1) before vpn connect, (2) after vpn connect (no connection), (3) after one-time workaroundD (connecting back) [18:13] any idea how i could fix this? [18:13] i use my tv as monitor, ive went from dvi- [18:13] my /home is already on another partition, I don't see any /var in my fstab [18:13] pc600: does it require sudo? [18:13] dvi->vga - convertor - to vga pc [18:13] I need to install a Maverick package on Lucid. Is this possible? [18:13] sebrock: yes but very not advised [18:14] now im using dvi->hdmi on comp, everything looks a lot better but no matter the resolution i cannot see the menu/start menu [18:14] can someone help? [18:14] I wish to recover a file from an ext3 partition. I have no working OS on the computer. I am unable to make a USB LiveCD from another computer due to a problem with a USB key. It writes at like 50kb/s, Ubuntu is still stuck at 0% making the key (though I see the files being created). What boot tool can I use that is user-friendly AND small in size (so it doesn't take long to copy to the USB key) to mount the ext3 partition and recover this important file? [18:14] mikedoty: When is each pastebin from? [18:14] ActionParsnip: is it not possibel to backport in anyway? [18:14] Craig are you saying the screen on the tv is off centered so you dont see the bottom?

I thought LTS meant they create automatic backports? [18:15] Bops: puppylinux is small [18:15] Craig that means the screen resolution is vertically stretched. [18:15] thanks erUSUL [18:15] hey guys .. is there a way to extract a theme from a distro that i like the look but not the distro so i can apply it to the main 10.10 release ?? [18:16] sebrock: no, LTS just means it's supported for longer on the official repos [18:16] chaos2358: is that a problem/what can i do about it? [18:16] Craig if no resolution will fix it i can provide you with an alternative in pm [18:16] ActionParsnip: and what is official repos? [18:16] Afternoon all [18:16] sebrock: the canonical servers you install software from and install updates from [18:16] mikedoty: So the second one is while you are not connected to the VPN? [18:17] Nah, second one is while I am connected [18:17] hey, i need some help with resetting my username and password [18:17] At that point I am on the VPN but I cannot access the wired internet [18:17] bingu whats the problem.. do you have the administrator access?

[18:18] bingu ?

[18:19] bingu one sec [18:20] mikedoty: Because if that's the case, maybe ShrewSoft is simply overwriting your resolv.conf [18:20] kk [18:20] how do you burn an iso in linux?? when I use K3B I get this error when trying to burn a ISO ... cdrecord has no permission to open this device, you may use k3bsetup to solve this problem [18:20] mikedoty: Which may be a simpler fix if using Network Manager's VPN connection isn't convenient [18:21] I could try. It's going to hose my network when I reconnect to my vpn, though. Based on the output I'm getting on those route/ifconfig calls, what could I do after I lose wired to get my wired connection back without hard booting? [18:21] bingu http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [18:21] Could I run a restart on network-manager or something like that?

[18:23] Bingu and as you see in that walkthrough select drop to root shell and continue from there just start with a install cd [18:23] I cant boot from cd, i tried. and i checked bios [18:23] Cpt_Zyph, if this other distro uses the same location as Ubuntu - see if you can copy it from /usr/share/themes/ - good luck. [18:23] I can't see people. Only their eyes. And Gman's eyes are discolored and not syncing properly. [18:23] bingu: follow that URL and there is everything [18:23] Is this an intel driver issue?

[18:34] bingu rgr im sure some older versions work fine.. lilo for i.e. hasnt been used in a while.. im far from a guru just saying it would be good to make sure. what version of ubuntu is on tehre currently? [18:34] Stereocaulon: it pushed you to 11.04?? [18:35] Hi! I cant recompile my kernel! I only got some errors! (http://paste.ubuntu.com/558649/) I followed this guide http://linuxtweaking.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-compile-kernel-on-ubuntu-1004.html Trying on ubuntu-server 10.10 64bit. :) [18:35] bingu and how are your boot piority settings looking?? [18:35] I have a new install of Ubuntu 10.10. I rsync'd my previous home directory onto my new home directory and it screwed up the widget bar. How can I reset that to default? [18:35] maco, if OSS is back in 11.04 I won't complain. [18:35] edwardteach: Oh, thanks a lot. That saved me so much >< [18:35] hi everybody! [18:36] cpt_zyph boot prio is cd. and the dist on there now is xubuntu 9.10 [18:36] Stereocaulon: dist-upgrade will upgrade you to the same release with the new pacjkages, if you use: do-release-upgrade you will jump to natty === david is now known as Guest42174 [18:36] I'm not looking forward to Unity in 11.04 :/ [18:36] jjam: Lets try with wodim instead... open a terminal [18:36] Stereocaulon: ive heard no news of Linus accepting OSS, so no probably not [18:36] how can I see recently installed packages? [18:36] Rypervenche: I think its a bit clunky [18:36] ok [18:36] undecim: [18:36] hello [18:36] undecim: .... in terminal [18:36] jjam: If the ISO file is, for example, "disk.iso" on your desktop, you will type "wodim ~/Desktop/disk.iso" [18:36] saml: dpkg.log in /var/cache (or whatever its called) [18:37] ok [18:37] maco, so it was Linus that acknowledged the removal of OSS from the kernel? I thought this was an Ubuntu-only choice. [18:37] bingu humm.. well if its not booting to CD and the priority is set to CD and no others.. then only a few issues could be the problem.. disk is bad.. drive is bad.. or drive is not hooked up properly.. do you have a spare drive to test with and or acn you pull teh drive out and plug it into a ide > usb adapter and test it on a working computer? [18:37] I am having a probelm with my Ubuntu server... it suddenly was down today and I coudn't get in via ssh, so I restarted, tried to login and right after entering my password it quits with this: /home/florian/.zlogin:1: command not found: display_info ... so I dont even get into the command prompt to do anything... does anybody have an idea? [18:38] maco, abandoning OSS makes my Wine pretty much useless for games [18:38] How can I copy a file to a folder that requires root powers, without making the copy's owner the root? Am I forced to copy it to a folder that I own then move it using sudo? Is there no other way? [18:38] cpt_zyph cd is fine, just checked on my m8s laptop. [18:38] Stereocaulon: it was removed upstream for licensing reasons and replaced with ALSA. Additionally, Linus does not permit any floating point arithmetic in the kernel, which OSS does use, so it's unlikely it'll be reaccepted upstream any time soon [18:38] what is the developer channel? [18:38] Rypervenche: sudo cp -a I believe will keep the owner of the source [18:38] sebrock: #ubuntu-devel [18:38] I've installed itunes under wine but how can I mount the iPod touch so wine can see it? [18:39] ActionParsnip: Ah, great. Thank you :D === Guest42174 is now known as DavidC02 [18:39] maco: got it thanks [18:39] maco: Doesn't allow floating point for pretty good reason I'd say. [18:39] Rypervenche: check: man cp to verify [18:39] undecim: had errors [18:39] bingu .. then drive would be my guess at this point.. im assuming your cd test was not just putting it in a computer to read but an actual md check or a boot test atleast etc.. [18:39] kyle__: yes [18:39] maco, do you know any solid solution for the slew of Windows games that *require* OSS to have any sound whatsoever? [18:39] undecim: http://pastebin.com/UMXHFMC1 [18:39] sudo apt-get autoremove gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad only removes that plugin [18:39] man how do you guys understand all this,lol [18:39] Stereocaulon: virtualbox? [18:39] bingu do you have another boot cd known good winblows or something you can use just to test boot ability on suspect computer? [18:39] Stereocaulon: there is a compatibility layer to let pulseaudio and alsa handle them [18:39] jjam: with experience, you learn [18:39] I opened a midi file with Movie Player and it searched plugins and installed a bunch.. I want to remove all installled plugins by movie player [18:39] Stereocaulon: should all be there by default... [18:39] ActionParsnip: Would it be cp -p for preserve? [18:40] ActionParsnip: isn't there a limit to that too? [18:40] Rypervenche: sounds likely, i suggest you make a test folder [18:40] jjam: You typed to wrong filename [18:40] maco, ALSA does not work, nor does Pulse. when selected, Wine crashes those games involved completely [18:40] ActionParsnip: Will do. Thank you again. I thought it was hopeless :P [18:40] undecim: I had to replace the name of the file with mine right? [18:40] cpt_zyph we booted his comp with it and ran the live test, worked just fine . ive changed the drive in my comp and still not working [18:41] Stereocaulon: i suggest talking to wine devs then, if they're handling the api oddly [18:41] jjam: You have to make sure you got the capitalization correct, as well [18:41] I just copied and pasted your command undecim [18:41] Rypervenche: nar, this is linux. Make a test folder nd touch some files so they are user owned, then create a dest folder in a root owned place and test [18:41] Rypervenche: Yes, -p .. -a is the same as -dR --preserve=all [18:41] maco, the removal of OSS also breaks several video frontends, like MythTV [18:41] jjam: you can use the highlight tool to make text stand out but you do learn to read the irc easily after a short time [18:42] Hey, ive now got dvi->hdmi for monitor instead of vga->vga - monitor is tv - ..however i can't see all the screen, i cant see some of the top/right/bottom/left of the screen - it is not black but it's as if the screen is just too big, ive changed my res and this happens for every res, chaos was saying it would be hardware rather than software...any ideas? [18:42] Stereocaulon: im sure that's not true. OSS hasnt been in the kernel for a couple of years now, and i've used MythTV just fine [18:42] genii-around: Oh, I had misread the -a explanation. Great. Thank you. [18:42] ActionParsnip: huh? [18:42] Craig`: change refresh rate maybe.. [18:42] (where by "a couple" i mean, "since before i started using linux in 2006") [18:42] jjam: or are you talking about someting else? [18:42] maco, I might just do that, talk to the Wine devs... [18:43] so.... last night i was prompted with an updat, so i updated, but after i updated, my sound no longer works.... anyone know whats with that? [18:43] no no ActionParsnip just talkin in general [18:43] ActionParsnip: linux [18:43] ActionParsnip: just tried that, no effect [18:43] maco, I've been using Linux since 1997 [18:44] undecim: What should my resolv.conf look like? I've tried domain 127.0.0.1 / localhost (just guessing randomly), but they don't seem to take [18:44] Stereocaulon: thats fine, but my point is that Myth has worked for me and OSS hasnt been around the whole time ive used linux, so therefore...myth works without oss [18:44] ActionParsnip: also could you tell me why my audio isnt working? i have the green audio cable plugged in but since swapping to hdmi my screen crackles a lot, sound noise [18:44] Hi, I'm looking for a package for a package for php5 with sqlite and pdo [18:44] (ok it exists...as a pile of patches outside the tree...) [18:44] mikedoty: Resolv.conf is generated by the network manager [18:45] jjam: oh i see, you will learn that with time [18:45] mikedoty: I'm thinking shrewsoft VPN client overwrote it [18:45] bingu do you have another disk i.e. winblows or something to test with.. the key is to identify if tis a problem with your target systems settings [18:45] maco, well then I'll just keep my fingers crossed and start the upgrade. [18:45] mikedoty: it should contain dns ip's one per line [18:45] Craig`: I'm poor at best with sound issues [18:45] how can I get the original panel / widget setup that ubuntu starts with? [18:45] Taste, did you fix any problems before the upgrade ? i think upgrading over wrights some config files or something [18:45] ActionParsnip: hope so :) [18:45] !sound | Craig` [18:45] Craig`: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [18:45] jjam: you learned windows right? [18:45] Leaving IRC for major upgrade, ciao! [18:45] undecim: That sounds like the case. Is there a way to get networkmanager to re-generate the original .conf file? [18:45] mikedoty, use the network manager. resolv.conf contains the namesevers in the form nameserver somelocalip [18:45] mikedoty: When in doubt, you can just add "nameserver 8.8.8.8" to use google's public DNS server [18:46] 8.8.8.8? thats a nice ip [18:46] how can I make XChat look awesome? [18:46] XD [18:46] ActionParsnip: yes [18:46] jjam: how is Linux going to be any different then? [18:46] ActionParsnip: okay thanks for sound links, sound is least of my concern atm [18:46] cpt_zyph using a fair bit of digging using a old win95 hdd i found the pw and username. ty anyways [18:46] i just wanna fix this display issue.

[18:49] jjam: the same rig works 100% out of the box in any distro you can throw at it including my wifi [18:49] Ok. I figure worst case scenario I'll throw a script together to replace that file with the original, "fixresolvconf" ro something like that.

I installed the plugin and enabled it but it doesn't show up on my ipad [18:52] afink: live disk runs fine [18:52] jjam: Well that's what Brasero and wodim report [18:52] DexterF, how about this one https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa [18:53] DexterF, darn that's not for maverick either hold on [18:53] afink: this was on both 32 and 64 [18:53] jjam: Have you tried it with a new CD? === mike_ is now known as Guest54679 [18:53] How long do you have before lockup? You may want to try booting w/o the gui and check dmesg or /var/log/messages [18:53] undecim: this is a rw dvd disc [18:53] undecim: its a mini dvd [18:53] that is if it will function w/o the gui also [18:53] DexterF, I am not finding one for maverick [18:54] jjam: Can you give me a pastebin of the output of "dmesg | tail" in the terminal? [18:54] afink: it feels like it locks up while udev is playing with stuff, trying to load modules and etc. [18:54] hello-hello. is it possible to ask a website, which operating system does it use? [18:54] undecim: yes sir.. one sec [18:54] afink: not to mention udev generally has a few dozen processes running at the time. [18:54] urajlee: Many websites will say on the 404 pages what OS it is running [18:54] YeTr2: and everyone else does ubuntu have an interactive boot mode similar to redhat? [18:55] What command could I use from a script to search and replace one line with another from a file? [18:55] YeTr2: interactive boot is about the only other thing I can think of to at least allow you to start troubleshooting [18:55] ZykoticK9: sed [18:55] urajlee: http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph [18:55] undecim: http://pastebin.com/R3bybWjr [18:56] anyone have recommendations for size of system partition? [18:56] ZykoticK9: Particularly, I think you want "sed -i [PATTERN]" [18:56] abstrakt: 5 GB is usually good for me [18:56] abstrakt: 10 if you install a lot of stuff [18:56] abstrakt: if you're using a seperate home then / 10GB if you plan doing an upgrade in the future. [18:56] undecim, thanks - sed is not one of my strong points, but I'll figure it out. [18:57] abstrakt: I generally go with 8, but I also split off /home /var /tmp, and /opt if I use it [18:57] undecim thanks mneptok thanks [18:57] kyle__ if I can ask, what's the advantage to splitting those off into seperate partitions? [18:57] I understand /home and / [18:57] undecim: you get the pastebin? [18:58] jjam: yes, and I'm looking at it now [18:58] undecim: ok [18:59] is there system wide equalizer? [18:59] jjam: Can I get the output of "sudo lshw -C storage"? [18:59] Zookalicious: If one of them fills up, which those can easily, it won't bring down your system. [19:00] bastidrazor: really? 10G is all you need for a system drive? [19:00] bastidrazor: I will be running a LAMP server (just for local dev) etc [19:00] bastidrazor: so I'm going to possibly have large files like databases and webroot folders [19:00] Zookalicious: /var is usually only kept seperate for real servers, but it's habbit for me. /opt should be kept seperate, as if you're using third party binaries/installs, you quite possibly want to insulate them from system changes/re-installs/etc. [19:00] kyle__: Interesting. Do you have those on logical or primary partitions? The reason I ask is because I have a multiboot setup and have reached my limit of primary partitions [19:00] bastidrazor: I mean, if I can tell MySQL to store the literal db files on my /home partition then I guess everything is cool [19:00] Zookalicious: I generally use LVM. [19:01] undecim: it just says SCSI [19:01] kyle__: OK, thank you very much for the clarification [19:01] I can definitely store all my webroot folders in my home folder, that's no problem I do that anyway [19:01] well technically I keep the webroots on /var/www/ [19:01] but I always do roothog installs, personally [19:01] abstrakt: you're lack of information on what the 'system' would doing resulted in a vague answer. [19:01] hey guys. [19:01] "Hit ctl+alt+F2 to switch to tty2" [19:01] how do i switch to tty? [19:01] bastidrazor: no worries [19:02] bastidrazor: I'm not accusing you of anything bad :) [19:02] undecim: wait now it showed [19:02] if anyone has a minute to help me access my windows files to back up using the live boot option when im getting a dbus error when trying to access it i'd greatly appreciate it. [19:02] undecim: http://pastebin.com/vKxwfcXB [19:02] bastidrazor: so now with more information, what would you suggest [19:02] abstrakt: most desktops would be fine with a / of 10GB :) [19:02] craiggles: as you just described. CTRL+ALT+Fn, n beeing 1 to 6 [19:02] craiggles: you press the keys you just typed . [19:02] craiggles: usually you switch back with CTRL+ALT+F7, but it might be f8 or higher in some cases [19:02] oh haha. [19:02] i thought it said "and" [19:02] sorry about that [19:03] abstrakt: how much do space do you expect to use? 30-40GB worth? if you have the available space then leave yourself lots of room [19:03] so it's asking for my login..yet it's saying incorrect [19:03] bastidrazor: yeah, unfortunately space is actually a little bit tight on this system, dual boot with XP [19:03] craiggles: out of curiosity, I pressed ctrl + alt + F1, I didn't realize that it would switch me out of gnome [19:03] craiggles: took me a minute to realize what I'd done hah [19:03] heh [19:04] ..why isn't it taking my pass "$ [19:04] jjam: Hmm... How about just "sudo lshw". This will be a lot of output, so you can use "sudo lshw > lshw.out" to put it into the file "lshw.out" in your home directory and copy the contents of that instead of figuring out where it begins and ends in the terminal. [19:04] craiggles: any special characters in it? [19:04] bastidrazor: I guess, if I really look at it objectively, I don't think that my /var/www folder ever exceeds much more than 1-2G [19:04] Fuchs, ' is [19:04] but I could see my /var/www growing further, like 5-10G [19:04] craiggles: you might want to write it as the username first, then you see whether some special characters are somewhere else, due to keyboard layouts [19:04] probably not though [19:04] oh okay [19:05] abstrakt: If you have the hard drive space and are paranoid, you are welcome to make it a bit larger [19:05] hi, my usb playstation adaptor isnt working, how can i make it work? [19:05] ah yes thank you Fuchs [19:05] FredGeek: how do you know it's not working? [19:05] you see i use programmer dvorak, and caps lock enables numerics - or shift [19:05] FredGeek, do you see a js0 in /dev/input? [19:05] but caps doesnt work on cli [19:05] undecim: it created a log file' [19:05] anyone is using airplay trough totem ? I installed the plugin and enabled it but it doesn't show up on my ipad [19:05] is /var sharable across different systems? like say I want to have 2 or 3 root partitions and one home partition (or a home and a var partition) === AndroUser is now known as wesss [19:05] undecim: but its showing a permission dienied [19:05] so that I can have e.g. Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 10.10 [19:06] jjam: gksu? [19:06] jjam: A permission denied where? [19:06] i.e. so that I can install the new Ubuntu when it comes out without wiping my old one [19:06] undecim: when I open the log file [19:06] to copy the contets [19:06] !upgrade | abstrakt [19:06] abstrakt: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [19:06] and say, a third root partition to play with other distros for fun, like Arch or Fedora or whatever [19:06] abstrakt: why have a shared /var at all? [19:06] ZykoticK9 I don't recall if mine shows up as /dev/input/js0 or /dev/js0, but it's been a few months. [19:06] Fuchs, it still says it's incorrect [19:06] when you say log file, you mean lshw.out? [19:06] ZykoticK9, yes, and a cat /dev/input/js0 and js1 and pressing any button dont alter nothing [19:06] yes [19:06] tsimpson: well, if all my web projects (what I get paid for) live in /var/www then that's a reason [19:06] i use dvorak, but tit's typing dvorak using normal console [19:06] the password wont use qwerty? [19:07] Either way, mine just works. [19:07] craiggles: are you sure that you typed it in correctly, also lower- and Uppercase? [19:07] yes [19:07] kyle__, ubuntu uses /dev/input/js* - causes some issues with programs looking for /dev/js* [19:07] absolute [19:07] FredGeek, if you cat the device and nothing happens - i have no idea [19:07] craiggles: then it should work [19:07] witch button is ^] ? [19:07] Fuchs, then im clueless. [19:07] ZykoticK9: Ah. I only used mine in mame, which was installed out of apt, so it-just-worked(tm) [19:07] abstrakt: it'd probably be better to bind mount a var/www on another partition to /var/www than share a /var [19:07] i cant do any command without supplying password [19:07] and ive tried my pass in qwerty/dvorak [19:08] iptables, help [19:08] :-( [19:08] and yes, the console is probably not dvorak, that's why I asked you to type it in as username first, so you can check [19:08] wthpr0: control+] [19:08] tsimpson: ok, yeah you're probably right [19:08] massimo: help with? [19:08] FredGeek: There are some programs that read properly out of the js devices, and display the output. Sadly I forget their names. But look for something like js test, or jstest. Google for it maybe? [19:08] "login incorrect" [19:08] tsimpson: I personally figured that sharing /var sounded like a bad idea, and you have confirmed that (I think), so thanks :) [19:09] hi guys [19:09] FredGeek: My PS2-usb adapter has two ports, and is _very_ inconsistent about which port is given to which controller. [19:09] hi dziadu [19:09] honestly seems somewhat pointless for me to have /opt also because anything custom that I'm gonna put in there probably is going to be Distro version dependent [19:09] at least, that's my guess [19:09] /etc/iptables.rules or /etc/iptables/rules [19:09] kyle__, mine have 2 ports too [19:09] abstrakt: I'd be especially concerned about /var/lib, things in there are package/library version specific [19:09] abstrakt: it depends. If you use oracle, db2 or websphere, you'll want it :) [19:10] kyle__: I use none of the above [19:10] is an admin for ubuntu forums here? [19:10] emm... ciao ! [19:10] upgrade 10.04 -> 10.10 doesn't works, apt-get dist-upgrade do nothing (says that is alreadu upgraded), do-release-upgrade the same, /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release is OK, what I can do more to upgrade system? [19:10] abstrakt: and the fact that that's where dpkg stores the list of installed packages (which will be different on other releases/distros) [19:10] kyle__: just php/rails/mysql really [19:10] "lsb_release -a" sjows 11.04 [19:10] tsimpson: cool, good to know [19:10] abstrakt: Yea, in those cases a seperate opt is just wasted space. [19:10] undecim: got it [19:10] undecim: http://pastebin.com/4cVDULLN [19:11] kyle__: aight great thx... so I will just go with a few separate / partitions and one larger home partition [19:11] and maybe one partition that I'll mount as /www [19:11] manualy [19:11] so I can share that across the different systems [19:11] How would it be possible to copy a specific line from 1 file, remove the first 3 characters, and >> it into another file? [19:11] I'm having trouble with my login onto the ubuntu forums. Is an admin in this room to help me? [19:11] tsimpson: the only other main thought I have though is what about /home, seems to me that lots of stuff in /home is version specific too no? [19:12] massimo: have you looked at 'man iptables'? I haven't used iptables myself. Any computer I have that isn't connected through a router I just used whatever GUI for iptables is in the Ubuntu Software Center [19:12] abstrakt: sometimes gnome/kde stuff is, but most programs are version specific, not distro specific. [19:12] tsimpson: like .pidgin .gimp .whatever are probably fairly specific to versions and versions change between releases and between distros [19:12] hey guys, I've forgot what to write in ccsm > window decoration when I dont want ANY window decorations to ANY window what so ever. I tried !(any) without any luck =/ [19:12] If I have a folder called test and another folder called test2 how can I from the command line copy all the files from test2 to test and create new files where no match but overwrite where there is a match and keep files in test that don't exist in test2? [19:12] kyle__: er wait... gnome/kde stuff is what? [19:12] abstrakt: I use the same /home (via nfs) for ubuntu 10.04 boxes, OSX 10.5, and OSX 10.6 boxes. Causes very few issues. [19:13] !ubotu [19:13] 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 [19:13] kyle__: hmm, but OSX is going to have fairly radically different settings folders [19:13] abstrakt: you do have to be careful, yes. but (generally) most GUI apps don't change their config too much very often [19:13] kyle__: OSX stuff lives in Library/Application Data no? [19:13] abstrakt: gnome and kde stuff in /home is often customized by the distro. [19:13] Fuchs, someone said they remove the need of root in the console, by removing the tty lines from /etc/securetty [19:13] but i dont know what to remove, only tty2? [19:13] abstrakt: Mostly yes. Which makes it very convient, no collisions. [19:13] kyle__: ahh gotcha [19:13] ciao [19:13] craiggles: are you trying to log in as root? [19:13] no [19:13] i just ctrl alt f2 [19:13] please help with iptables rules location [19:13] craiggles: then you can ignore that [19:13] and then any command needs pass [19:13] siuuur ;p [19:14] so i cant do anything... [19:14] there seriously needs to be two separate folders /home and /settings [19:14] craiggles: what are you trying to achieve? [19:14] craiggles: why do you have to log in on a tty anyway? [19:14] is right /etc/iptables.rules ? [19:14] or more like /home/usage and /home/settings [19:14] or something [19:14] Fuchs, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1003099&page=2 [19:14] like /home/usage/john and /home/settings/john [19:15] so.... last night i was prompted with an updat, so i updated, but after i updated, my sound no longer works.... anyone know whats with that? [19:15] aight, well I have enough info to go on, thanks, ttyl peeps [19:15] craiggles: do not install the nvidia driver manually. It is a really bad idea which will break your graphical environment at the next kernel update. [19:15] ah, just to start X with --logverbose, I see, sorry [19:15] hi [19:15] jjam: I can't find anyone having these issues with that drive model... [19:16] hey marinus2 [19:16] craiggles: you should be able to read out those values of the edid file you can read out with nvidia-settings [19:16] crap, lol one more question :) [19:16] * Fuchs now has to go [19:16] hi [19:16] I always forget how much swap is recommended? [19:16] undecim: :( [19:16] is it like half RAM? same size as RAM? double RAM? [19:16] I've got 4G of ram [19:17] abstrakt: I think the recommended is something like double, but if you have 4GB of RAM I don't think you will find yourself using that swap space very often [19:17] abstrakt, if you use hybernate then your swap must be larger then your physical ram [19:17] jjam: Maybe see what happens if you use the -raw flag with wodim [19:17] abstrakt: the settings are stored on a per-user basis, so storing it in $HOME makes sense, plus it makes backups clearer [19:17] ZykoticK9: what's hybernate? [19:17] jjam: i.e. "wodim -raw /path/to/iso" [19:17] abstrakt, just 1g, and problably u will never use swap [19:17] ZykoticK9: you don't mean Java hibernate do you? [19:17] anyone using kernel 2.6.36 and iphone tethering via ipheth? [19:17] abstrakt: swap for 4Gb RAM is 4Gb is you need suspend/hibernate [19:17] abstrakt, sorry Hibernate - like in a laptop, deep sleep sorta thing [19:17] abstrakt: if you want to hibernate to disk, than 1.5xRAM is good, otherwise somewhere around 1GB is a general recommendation [19:17] ActionParsnip: ohhh, right gotcha [19:18] hmm... yeah good question on whether to hibernate or not... I do kind of like that feature [19:18] feel like it taxes the HD a lot though i.e. wear and tear will make the HD not last as long === LordNikon is now known as JNZ [19:18] abstrakt: if you don't then 4Gb is plenty unless you start going into large image manipulation / video editting / graphical design etc, but you should be fine [19:19] Fuchs, i'd rather follow thet tutorial [19:19] im rather clueless tbh [19:19] abstrakt: I wouldn't worry about that from Hibernation. Unless you're doing it constantly (keep in mind that it's different from sleep mode) [19:19] Zookalicious: yeah I'm aware that hibernate is different than sleep [19:20] thing is, the way I use hibernation, I use it constantly :) [19:20] undecim: Ill just burn it in windows [19:20] undecim: thanks for your help though [19:20] ok thx all, peace [19:21] hi [19:22] how do I uninstall orca? [19:22] and does orca do anything else other than accessibility? === [su]__ is now known as [su] [19:24] Hi all, Occasionally I'll get a message saying "You have new mail in /var/www/uname" -- Is it possible to have this actually emailed to my person email address?

Please help! :( [19:25] Borgoluzzuo: Yes. use a .forward file in your home directory, containing the email address you want it sent to [19:25] genii-around: Neat -- thanks!

[19:28] Anyone happen to know of a FOSS horticultural tracking calendar/database? [19:28] Does Ubuntu supprt intel 64 bit? [19:29] tomshaw: intel licenses the amd64 architecture from amd for most of their consumer 64bit hardware [19:29] tomshaw: the AMD64 version works just as well on Intel too, it's not just for AMD chips [19:29] tsimpson: Great thanks :) [19:30] after upgrading and rebooting my mouse has become sloooooowwwww, 1280x1024 I need to move like 1 meter to get across the screen?! xset q says it should be OK, changing with xset m and various parameters does not help, same for System/Preference/Mouse [19:30] tomshaw: intel's 64bit arch is itanium (aka itanic for its massive build failure rate...), abbreviated ia64, and is not backwards compatible (ie cant run 32bit OSes) so it totally failed in the consumer market (but servers with it still exist) [19:31] Whats up ppl [19:31] yoo [19:32] i need a lil help with my ubuntu [19:32] Anyone know how i can remap keyboard press so I get "enter" to press the "return" key instead of the numpad's enter key [19:32] Ask away [19:33] Rockj: play with xmodmap [19:33] i have been having really bad issues with loading programs and alot of other problems [19:33] hmm, my java installation disappeared on my ubuntu 10.10 install. seems like its complaining about a conflict.

Fwiw, its only a co [19:42] rdshow..: means your browser is working fine? [19:42] schnuffle: I get "No candidate version found for sun-java6-jre". same as with the jdk and bin packages [19:42] yes sir [19:42] how i can enable numpad automatically when i turn on pc and ubuntu starts? [19:43] ActionParsnip: yes, done, fixed, working [19:43] ActionParsnip: I already did that at one point. java was installed until recently and somehow it got uninstalled. im not sure how... [19:43] did you try to reinstall apt? [19:44] can anyone help me access my hard drive with live boot? it keeps giving a dbus no reply error. [19:44] Config tool. If you have added all the wifi you need the all it does is alert you to changes using libnotify [19:44] ActionParsnip: I have "multiverse" lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list. do I need something else now? [19:44] yeah i cant install anything i get errors out the yin yang [19:44] finally I replugged my KVM switch and it fixed it, not Linux's fault :) [19:44] !partner | scelis [19:44] scelis: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications.

[19:45] we will use it to manage our site [19:45] and, I'm back :) [19:45] axisys: all [19:45] On the command line, the version of netcat that comes with ubuntu does not support the '-e' option. [19:46] so I'm contemplating how to proceed with my paritioning scheme here while my files back themselves up [19:46] ActionParsnip: wonder if I can feed some contents before start modifying it? does it allow upload a web root will say thousands of files and create necessary WikiWord for those pages ? [19:46] hey guys, i have a box that is constantly writing to disk, http://pastebin.com/rByBzv7H (ps ax), has anyone else had a similar problem? [19:46] i want to simply get the latest ubuntu and wipe everything [19:46] adelie42: which should do what? [19:46] Axisys: road test to see which suits your needs closest [19:46] greetings, looking for router recommendations for a soho environment. Or someplace online where I can find more info. A lot of products out there, had trouble with Sonicwall in the past leaning toward Cisco. [19:47] ActionParsnip: i guess so.. but looking for views based on personal experience [19:47] ActionParsnip: that didn't help... i already followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JavaInstallation once. Java was installed a few weeks ago. then it seemed to have vanished with an aptitude dist-upgrade [19:47] jshriver, have you used Cisco hardware? [19:47] I would like to have 3 separate root partitions... "ubuntu old" "ubuntu current" and "random distro sandbox" and also I will have my windows partition and a "myfiles" partition [19:47] its not even close to sonicwall [19:47] !ot | jshriver [19:47] jshriver: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[19:47] blazon: in the past yeah [19:47] sorry [19:47] the thing I'm thinking about right now, and I don't quite remember the details on this [19:48] there's something with "primary" and "extended" partitions isn't there? and can't you only install systems in to primary partitions? [19:48] how many primary partitions can I create? [19:48] I will need 4 of them theoretically in this scheme of things, one windows and 3 nix [19:48] adelie42: ok i googled it and see what it does. also looks like neither does fedora's version. and the manpage doesnt claim it has it (in either distro) so...no surprise that trying it fails [19:48] is the servers strong enough for updates for the future of the planet?

I will only have a single roothog windows partition [19:49] maco, ahh yes of course [19:49] abstrakt: the bootloader has to be outside the extended partition...thats the only requirement [19:49] maco, great, sounds good [19:50] !dreamer: any ideas [19:50] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:50] abstrakt: maaaaybe need a /boot as a primary, but i dont think so [19:50] hey guys, i have a box that is constantly writing to disk, http://pastebin.com/rByBzv7H (ps ax), has anyone else had a similar problem? [19:50] Pici, this time it was correct ;) [19:50] maco uhh, I never use or make use of or have a separate /boot partition [19:50] maco, so I really don't think it matters [19:50] if you're saying grub just needs to be in the MBR [19:51] then really nothing should matter [19:51] Okay, here's part of the issue i'm having with HL2 in Wine [19:51] abstrakt: grub should be on mbr, and i think it should be fine with finding the grub configs inside the OS's partition, but if not, you can make a /boot partition as a primary to put the grub configs in [19:51] can anyone help me with a dbus no reply error in trying to access my hard drive to back up files? [19:52] does ubuntu come with firewall? cause ive got port forwarding set up on router, but amsn still says it cant connect on it [19:52] abstrakt: put it this way: i *know* having a separate primary-parition /boot will work. i *think* itll work without that too [19:52] abstrakt: and of course one /boot can be shared among multiple OSes [19:52] Alright. Here it is. This is a part of it. Those models switch colors. Like the rainbow [19:52] and some models don't show up [19:52] maco, dude I never use a /boot partition [19:52] ever [19:52] http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/261/screenshot3ko.png [19:52] where is the bin for pidgin located so i can place it up in my startup? [19:53] abstrakt: i got that [19:53] abstrakt: iim saying its possible you will *need* to for the first time ever [19:53] abstrakt: maco: /boot can be on a logical partition (or part of your / even if it's a logical partition). [19:53] I would say it exactly the opposite way, I *know* that not bothering with a separate /boot partition will work [19:53] Jordan_U: ok thank you [19:53] maco: You're welcome.

[19:56] ahhh. thanks a lot. ill check it out :D [19:56] dreewill: I don't think that bcm4724 is a model number for a wireless card, but rather for an ethernet or other device. [19:57] My internet stopped working and I can no longer see the networking icon in the GNOME panel. Please Help [19:57] how should i go about wiping off this old krusty version of ubuntu and putting up that fresh fresh [19:57] dreewill: Can you pastebin the output of "lspci"? [19:58] is anyone available to help with a dbus no reply error when trying to access a hard drive so it can be backed up? [19:58] rdshowalter: Do you have any files on the drive you want to preserve? [19:58] Jordan: noo i dont wipe this money clean and ill start fresh [19:59] Jordan_U: sure [19:59] let's try this again. I have followed the documentation for installing sun's java. it was installed a week ago but somehow got uninstalled with a recent update. can anyone please help? https://gist.github.com/f7119f6a69b405268b80 [19:59] http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/261/screenshot3ko.png <-- Those models that are blue keep changing colors. And where that table is, there's supposed to be a TV.. And oher people don't seem to show up.. This is ofcourse under wine, Ubuntu 10.10, wine 1.2.1 and Intel GPU. [20:00] TL;DR: I keep getting "No candidate version found for sun-java6-jre" even though my sources.list seems correct [20:00] Care09Bear: There are two issues. 1: dbus seems not to be responding 2: You can't mount the drive you need through the GUI because of problem #1. You can mount the partition without the GUI, and without dbus, so which problem would you like to try to fix first (accessing the drive, or fixing dbus)? [20:00] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/4f8ikbG3 [20:00] jordan_U: i just had some reports and college papers but i dont care if they are gone i can barely use my comp [20:00] which is the best transcoder mp4 ->dvd ? [20:01] madprof: devede does very well [20:01] rdshowalter: Then simply install telling the installer to use the entire drive. You can back up any documents you do want from the LiveCD before re-installing. [20:02] Jordan_U can accessing the drive be done without fixing dbus? [20:02] Care09Bear: Yes. [20:02] Bastidrazor: I'll give it a whirl thnx [20:02] dreewill: Your wireless card is BCM4313. [20:03] Jordan_U then i guess that would be the preferred first option here [20:03] Jordan_u: oh, but then i'm wondering why it doesn't work [20:03] Care09Bear: the partitions will be treated as simple data [20:03] ActionParsnip as simple data that can be backed up to another location for a clean install aftewards? [20:03] Jordan_U: i have installed the broadcom-sta driver. by the way i'm running ubuntu 10.04 [20:03] Jordan_U: i do not have livecd i want to have the new version of ubuntu and start off like new [20:04] Care09Bear: exactly, to a network storage or usb/firewire storage [20:04] anyway to figure out why my ubuntu is frozen when i come to the office? after i restart and do: less /var/log/messages; all i see is: rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'. [20:04] rdshowalter: Is there anything preventing you from creating a LiveCD? [20:05] ActionParsnip: then that is what i'd like to do at this point in time [20:05] scelis: add deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu  lucid partner to your sources list [20:05] Care09Bear: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"? (This will give information needed to mount the partition you need manually). [20:05] Care09Bear: obviously if regular backups are taken, the recovery isn't needed [20:06] scelis: did you do an upgrade from hardy? [20:06] Jordan_U: yes i cannot do anything on the comp that deals with burning downloading updating or anything my os is in a messed up state [20:06] schnuffle: ah, i found something that states that java moved from multiverse to partner, though the wiki pages at ubuntu.com haven't been updated to reflect this yet [20:06] Care09Bear: you can access the partitions from the Places menu [20:07] rdshowalter: You don't have any other computer? [20:07] schnuffle: that is why i was so confused. adding partner did in fact fix it. [20:08] jordan_U: nope and i really need this one for school [20:08] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/558688/ [20:08] schnuffle: i did recently upgrade from 10.04.

Can anyone direct me on how to accomplish the same thing with socat? [20:08] adelie42: you can install a different netcat version, there are two [20:08] hi [20:08] there [20:08] schnuffle: all the hardy entries you are seeing are commented out. the ones that werent commented out were auto-upgraded to lucid during the upgrade [20:09] is it possible to X display on a X display ? [20:09] adelie42: did you read: man socat ? [20:09] Fuchs: the other version is in the repository? [20:09] adelie42: there is netcat-traditional and netcat-openbsd, try the other one [20:09] adelie42: both are, and netcat is just a metapackage saying that you have one of the two [20:09] Jordan_U: thanks for any help u can offer [20:09] Ierty: look into x [20:09] Xnest [20:09] scelis: it' just that its hard to see what active and what not, keeping it clean is optinal but helps analyzing problems :) [20:09] Fuchs: thanks [20:10] rdshowalter: So you are currently using IRC from this mostly broken install?

The lubuntu site has a good guide [20:14] Fuchs: Ok, I have both packages installed, but it appears that nc is linked to netcat. I see one version that does not support the -e option.

Reading through the description of inetd, inetd is what I should really be doing.

[20:37] i can't seem to find what I need on canonical's site [20:37] so [20:37] so, i just entered the linux relm [20:37] who here works for canonical === Collin is now known as Guest65425 [20:38] many more free programs [20:38] right at your fingertipe [20:38] yeah of course but why Ubuntu and not other thing ? [20:38] hello guys. i've deleted the partitions from my usb flash drive using gparted and created a fat partition, it was working okay, but after a reboot it doesn't work anymore... ubuntu won't mount it and windows does'nt recognize it :( [20:38] fingertips [20:38] howwdoIremapakey? [20:38] dKingston: What is your question? [20:38] !ask | dKingston [20:38] dKingston: 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. :-) [20:38] Repgahroll: did you check it for errors [20:38] i did, sir [20:39] i'm unsure whether canonical guys reside here [20:39] and I need to ask at least one of them a question which is not listed on canonical's site [20:39] joeoshawa, how? it doesn't mount anymore [20:39] dKingston: then use the contact forms on Canonical's site. [20:39] dKingston: If there were canonical employees here, what would you ask them? [20:39] How do I install the dust theme for firefox on windows? [20:39] dKingston, some canonical people are here, in disguise....

[20:41] fixed now, uninstalled in recovery mode, reinstalled kernel and installed drivers from ati site [20:41] M__, you don't need to authenticate for the repos. [20:41] Jordan_U: its like a catch 22 [20:41] i know it sounds dumb but it looks like its finished but you need to apply changes [20:42] joeoshawa, well in fact no, lsusb doesn't list the devices, that is the card reader =/ [20:42] Seveas, i get error 407 PROXY AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED whenever i try and download anything from the software center [20:43] Repgahroll: strange [20:43] M__, ah, you're behind a crappy proxy [20:43] joeoshawa, maybe it's broken! that gparted!!! [20:43] Repgahroll: try removing the device and reconnecting [20:43] Seveas, yeah. [20:43] i doubt it [20:44] M__, peruse the apt.conf manpage, apt seems to support this [20:44] possible tho [20:44] joeoshawa, doesn't make a difference, even trying another usb port. [20:44] Seveas, could you gimme a link? [20:44] M__, just type "man apt.conf" in the terminal [20:44] Seveas, ty. [20:45] is there another machine you can connect it to? [20:45] or failing that another install [20:45] maybe you don't have permission to mount it [20:46] joeoshawa, i've tried on another machine and even on a windows installation. windows says "unknown device" when i connect it [20:46] can someone tell me how i can PERMANENTLY edit apt.conf? [20:46] gigity [20:46] anyone can tell me, I try to watch a movie with bluetooth headset for the sound. but it is not working very well, it's clipping the sound, anyone know how to fix this?

[20:47] Is there another way to kill a process than kill -9? I have a process that won't die. [20:47] R3k: it depends on you your needs and such [20:47] Seveas, will sudo gedit apt.get work? [20:47] R3k: I use it but the KDE integration is crappy [20:48] R3k, Kubuntu is fair. If youre going KDE maby the best option is opensuse in my opinion.. [20:48] M__, yeah, that'll work too, real men use vim though :) [20:48] joeoshawa, nope, it doesn't see it. [20:48] it is simply just ubuntu with KDE as a DE instead of gnome [20:48] R3k: opensuse +1 forkde [20:48] Repgahroll: i don't know then kinda beyond my knowledge [20:48] can anybody tell me how to disable word wrapping in ViM?

It's a very good guide to learning vim. [20:50] how do i do that? [20:51] Why ? What difference ? [20:51] i have a dell t500 running debian and fluxbox with rox [20:51] how do i run vimtutor?

No minimize, no close buttons etc. Any Ideas on why this would be? Doesn't always happen. Kinda sporadic. [21:42] look man, im just trying to tell you, utorrent/wine, is NOT going to be better than a native client [21:42] and like 5 opther people said the same thing [21:42] the only reason utorrent is and will always be better than any other native linux torrent program is that it's the only available ghostleech method [21:42] so if you feel like setting yourself up for failure go right ahead, some people have to learn the hard way [21:42] blazon: 6 [21:42] dannyD: Have you looked at the window buttons' values in gconf-editor?

[21:44] Dear channel: "Use some other torrent client" is not an answer to the question "How do I do [thing] with utorrent?" [21:45] why is a utorrent question in the ubuntu channel? [21:45] boii: Change boiiii with your actual Ubuntu username. [21:45] hmm rww?

[21:52] el_seano: no :( . First thing I tried [21:52] oof, this is tricky [21:52] dannyD, did you check with another user? === forsythv is now known as Chilaquiles [21:52] brotoeee: hmm, no I didn't do that [21:53] myself try right clicking on it and selecting properties; then select permissions>mark as executable [21:53] that's a good idea. Might indicate whether or not metacity or the themes are broken [21:53] let me try that , brb [21:53] DaGeek247: OK, I'll check [21:54] I wonder why my encrypted disk is full which isn't [21:54] MatBoy, It's showing full? [21:55] el_seano bronteee: ok so it works on another user...but the top action bar of Ubuntu is still slightly messed up. [21:55] Israfel-Laptop: itś 50% - 50% for the .Private and /home [21:55] MatBoy: had that exact problem with someone before wish i screenshoted that [21:55] MatBoy, That's because it's double.. It's showing it twice. [21:56] does point to something being wrong with my theme...eh? [21:56] MatBoy, Everything that's in /home is in .Private [21:56] joeoshawa: indeed, weird issue [21:56] Israfel-Laptop: yeah I thought so, but it's not full @ all and I removed all my music and still it's @ 50% [21:56] just out of curiosity dannyD, are you using onboard video? [21:56] 49% to be precise [21:56] MatBoy, It's 50% of the total used. [21:56] el_seano: no nvidia driver [21:57] Israfel-Laptop: yes but I can't put that much data on it... [21:57] how do i get bamboo to work on karmic === canon is now known as Acid190 [21:57] okay, can't blame it on the 82845G chipset then :) [21:57] I think a theme I used a long time ago maybe at the heart of this. [21:57] Hey folks I just overwrote my fstab with a script I haven't rebooted yet... is there a way to do something like mount > /etc/fstab [21:57] can I completely reinstall metacity or revert to standard or something like that? [21:57] to get my fstab back? [21:57] might be worth removing the themes packages and reinstalling them,.\ [21:58] myself ? you there? [21:58] hi everyone. does anyone know about editing a grub menu list for multiple os bots? [21:58] Israfel-Laptop: ah found it... I was sudo-ing the command to . :) [21:58] oops [21:58] boots* [21:58] el_seano: how would I go about doing that? [21:58] Can anyone tell me why even after I uninstalled Amarok, it's in my Sound Menu? [21:58] Having a problem with the glasen intel drivers under Maverick...when I reboot with them, the display only draws what it thinks it needs to, and eventually X just stops working, Intel Extreme 2 on a Gateway 7320 lappy... [21:58] i've read some tutorials today, but have some questions. [21:58] sah be very very careful and back up grub [21:59] what do you want to do [21:59] i can try [21:59] ubu_ply: have you logged out and in/rebooted since you uninstalled it? [21:59] ubu_ply: did you log out and back in again? [21:59] Yes, many times [21:59] The option keeps unticking itself. [21:59] joeoshawa: you got it @ backing up grub. okay, thanks. first question... [21:59] ubu_ply: it sounds like something broke then [21:59] ubu_ply: how did you uninstall it? [22:00] Aginor, using the Ubuntu Software Center [22:00] sah if it messes up have a live cd handy to replace it [22:00] myself try "gksudo nautilus" and repeat the mark as executable bit. [22:00] hi. what is the command to install software center? [22:00] hello [22:01] hblount, its already installed in a desktop [22:01] OK [22:01] sah: What are you having problems with particularly? "sudo update-grub" should detect any other OSs and add them to the grub.cfg automatically. [22:01] joeoshawa: my grub-menu.lst file is not under /boot/grub, but rather under usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples....is this the same thing? [22:01] dannyD, i'd just nuke some of the : .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity (just rename theme) and relog [22:01] nit-wit, sorry forgot to mention i have lubuntu not ubuntu so its not installed [22:01] how do i turn on mousewheel emulation on my touchpad? [22:01] them* [22:01] hmm @ jordan [22:01] hblount, you are better avoiding it in my opinon. [22:02] jordan can probably better answer that === sculptured is now known as sculptured|away [22:02] brontoeee: so when I relog, it will recreate those or something? [22:02] dannyD: hm... if you remember the package names for the themes you downloaded, you could try apt-get --reinstall [22:02] ok, joe. thanks [22:02] nit-wit, yeah thanks but i'm noob [22:02] Same problem, I can't change the permissions. [22:02] sorry, apt-get install --reinstall [22:02] dannyD, it should [22:02] hblount, everything there is in synaptic or apt-get [22:02] el_seano: no I don't want the themes anymore. It was just an experiment anyway [22:02] I am trying to compile Insight3d (http://insight3d.sourceforge.net/) and it needs "opencv"... the make crashes saying that interface_opencv.h does not exist (which is pretty possible... so the question is: what package should I install? [22:02] Jordan_U: do i need to back up the grub before doing so? [22:03] do you know the package names? or did you install them manually from the appearence menu? [22:03] Having a problem with the glasen ppa intel drivers under Maverick... Intel Extreme Graphics 2 on a Gateway 7320 lappy... I can't change resolutions or use a 2nd monitor without them, but they don't seem to work correctly on my system and crash X after a while [22:03] sah: No. [22:03] hblount, being a noob is even better reasons to avoid the software center it is not a easy way out. [22:03] trying that now [22:03] if the former, then sudo apt-get remove && sudo apt-get autoremove. If the latter... uh let's see. [22:03] myself wow. try changing "root" as the owner the exe file and then mark it as executable again. [22:03] hblount, I f I new the command I would tell you though. [22:04] well, there's a remove option that should work with anything you manually installed. [22:04] hi. what is the command to install software center? [22:04] el_seano: don't remember the names. it was a whole load of stuff I did to give my desktop the appearance of a Mac. But I decided I hate macs so went back to good ol Ubuntu [22:04] Jordan_U: awesome, it found windows. :) thanks. so now, if i reboot, i should have windows in the os choices, right? [22:05] hblount: sudo apt-get install synaptic [22:05] That doesn't do it either. [22:05] sah: Yes. [22:05] be right back [22:05] Hi, I use this command to be able to connect to my server ssh-X root @ server1 on my server, my server on ubuntu-9.10 I installed virtualbox on ubuntu server with guest lucid, what is the command to retrieve the GUI of my ubuntu hardy, knowing that I'm already log in ssh-X on the server? [22:05] el_seano, i have synaptic. i want ubuntu software center or w/e its called [22:05] myself this is messed up. [22:05] Hey guys, I have been trying to get 3D/Compiz working on my iMac G5 PPC, the login splash is now gone, black screen, white text, will not accept my credentials. Any suggestions how to get in? === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw [22:06] hblount: sudo apt-get install software-center [22:06] I am going to try what Brontoeee suggested. hopefully it will be a clean start. BRB [22:06] Do others also get this problem on version 10.10? [22:06] dannyD: Good luck! :D [22:06] oh and thanks for the help el_seano and brontoeee [22:06] I just installed 10.04 Server LTE on a fresh system. The installation went smoothly and finished and told me to remove the CDROM. I did then hit continue to restart. But it always says Can't find bootable CDROM, and stops. [22:06] How do i find out why my laptop will not wake from sleep? Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series [22:06] el_seano, thanks [22:07] myself i use 10.04 cuz 10.10 has so many problems [22:07] tokyodan.. in bios are you still trying to boot fron cd/dvd.. might need to change to cdrom [22:07] i eman hard drive [22:07] hello is there anyone here ? [22:08] Cana nyone tell me the difference between apt-get purge and apt-get remove? [22:08] zzeyu_: you can rely on it. If you have questions, just ask. Somebody will answer eventually. [22:08] ubu_ply, purge also removes all configs i belive [22:08] ubu_ply, purge removes configs [22:08] Okay, thanks [22:08] ubu_ply: i believe "remove" actuall uninstalls the program, purge, i believe also removes the configuration files for a program(like if you need to clean install a program) [22:08] 10.04 worked without problems, but I then updated it to this version. Can I go back to 10.04 without having to reinstall? [22:09] ubu_ply: also, man apt-get. It's pretty expository for a manpage. [22:09] hola [22:09] ubu_ply, purge is good if you are having a problem with a program and want to reinstall with default settings [22:09] i never tried it [22:09] Jordan_U: is a "LiveCD" the same as an installation cd or something slightly different? last week, when i installed ubuntu, i downloaded the os from their site and then burned/ran the installation from the cd. same thing? [22:09] alguien con quien conversar [22:09] So, bottom line is that if I want to clean uninstall a program, purge [22:10] sah, a live CD will install as well [22:10] myself i have no idea. ask. [22:10] ubu_ply: It also helps to run an apt-get autoremove and/or autoclean to get rid of orphaned packages. [22:10] Trying to get my display drivers to work, Maverick, Gateway 7320, Intel Extreme 2 (Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)), so far I've had no luck, I've installed the drivers from the Glasen PPA, created xorg.conf, which allows me to change resolutions and recognizes my monitor, but crashes X after a while [22:11] sah, a live cd will let you try out the OS before install as well [22:11] hello is there anyone here ? [22:11] myself you could try installing overtop without formatting the partitions but back everything up no guarentees [22:11] zzayzu_ yes [22:11] justin: okay [22:11] I use this command to be able to connect to my server ssh-X root @ server1 on my server, my server on ubuntu-9.10 I installed virtualbox on ubuntu server with guest lucid, what is the command to retrieve the GUI of my ubuntu hardy, knowing that I'm already log in ssh-X on the server? [22:12] I am locked out of Ubuntu after modifying the xorg file for #D [22:12] i have done it for various reasons and it works for me if i don't repartion or reformat [22:12] zzeyu_: ssh -X will just forward a single app, not so much the desktop environment. [22:12] never tried with a older distro tho [22:12] zzeyu_: Look into VNC to have a remote interactive desktop session. === XLV_ is now known as XLV [22:12] Hi. Anyone knows if the Linux Profesional Institute continues offering a LPIC certification for Ubuntu? [22:13] I don't find anything in the LPIC website: http://www.lpi.org/eng/certification [22:13] I'm installing ubuntu (text-based), but the keyboard stops working on the screen 'Choose language'... does anyone know why?? [22:13] OK, I'll try it. If all else fails. I'll just do a clean reinstall. [22:13] raphaf: isn't that the first screen? [22:13] raphaf: usb or ps2 keyboard? [22:14] lemme know what happens [22:14] notebook [22:14] i just only need to forward a single app el_seano [22:14] raphaf i would try pluging a regular keyboard in and see [22:14] Is there any good backup software to backup programs and settings? === nan is now known as Guest99404 [22:15] there actually is a program you can make a live cd off your current install [22:15] zzeyu_: Then make sure your host accepts Xforwarding by looking for the option in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and setting it to 'yes' and once you have a shell connection just run the binary. [22:15] How can I be sure that ubuntu is detecting my CPU correctly.. and detecting it as a Dual Core [22:15] raphaf: Are you able to get into the BIOS on your notebook? [22:15] I use rsync for all my backup needs. works great. [22:15] myself, simple backup suite, but it has no decent docs i think [22:16] jon8: lshw | less will tell you the make, model, speed (unless it's an athlon but that's a different story) and number of cores on your machine. [22:16] KM0201: do you have an idea of any s/w not in unbuntu that would be good to port and make available? [22:16] hi guys could someone tell me as to how to install bamboo on karmic [22:16] itaylor57: off the top of my head?... not really [22:16] jon8: alternatively you can use dmidecode (which is much prettier than lshw, but requires root priviledge) [22:16] !wacom [22:16] KM0201: thanks [22:16] xforwarding is allready to yes [22:16] itaylor57, avisynth like [22:16] =/ ... yes... I el_seano I disabled USB Legacy ... is all I can do ... [22:16] xforwarding is allready to yes el_seano [22:17] jon8: or look at /proc/cpuinfo [22:17] hi guys. the lirc rooms looks dead. I'm trying to load my remote on a my MBP 3,1 , which *was* working, but a recent kernel broke it. it seems the appleir module is not loaded. any help. please? [22:17] jon8: it should list each core as a separate cpu [22:17] Thanks for the input guys. I'll give this a try. [22:17] zzeyu_: Are you not able to run the app from your shell then? [22:18] brontoeee: thanks I will take a look at iyt [22:18] kieppie: I know nothing of lirc at all, but have you tried loading the module manually and restarting the lirc stuff? [22:18] brontoeee: thanks I will take a look at it [22:18] raphaf: Do you have an external keyboard lying around? If your notebook keyboard's not working and there's no obvious options in BIOS, might give that a shot. [22:18] i.e. where (what sources.list entry) can I get the current linux-ubuntu-modules-`uanme -r`? [22:18] kieppie: if that works, you can make sure it loads the module during boot [22:18] itaylor57, ask in #x264 on what are the current affairs [22:18] yes correct el_seano [22:18] Aginor: I'm looking fo rth emodule, but having trouble locating my linux-ubuntu-modules-`uanme -r` [22:19] el_seano, ok.. I have not tried it yet... tks anyway [22:19] sorry: uname [22:19] raphaf: good luck :) [22:19] zzeyu_: Which app are you trying to run? [22:19] LeO- 1st boot device is CDROM, 2nd is floppy, 3rd is SCSI (IDE) disk [22:19] kieppie: they should be in /lib/modules/ [22:19] firefox for example el_seano [22:20] kieppie: but use modprobe and you don't need to specify the full path, and it'll load dependencies as well [22:20] hmm I'm trying to dump the output of apache2ctl to a text file with the following command apache2ctl -S > ~/apachectl.txt on hardy 8.04 but it doesn't seem to be working.. what am i doing wrong here? [22:20] zzeyu_: can you post the error code when you try to run firefox? [22:20] do you understand my problem ? from my actual i use ssh -X root@server1 [22:21] where i can able to display firefox [22:21] on the server1 i got virtualbox [22:21] Aginor: thanks for the advice. it seem the modules are not present, would like download, build & install them [22:22] on that vbox i got a ubuntu server with no graphical interface === mauricio is now known as Guest30730 [22:22] bluethundr: maybe try 2>filename to capture the stderr instead of the stdout? [22:22] so i just apt-install firefox [22:22] bluetooth dongle dies. need help! https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/19/168 [22:22] zzeyu_: Ubuntu does not support having a root password set, and you definitely should *NOT* be running firefox as root. [22:22] but i can't able to display firefox [22:22] zzeyu_: Why are you trying to login as root? [22:22] oh [22:22] heh [22:22] kieppie: is there a package for the modules that is missing? [22:23] zzeyu_: you xserver on the vm to display firefox. [22:23] if you don't have a window environment for firefox, firefox can't display. [22:23] Aginor: it would seem that way. I think some of the newer [22:23] rather, you need xserver [22:23] kieppie: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/ubuntu_lirc_install looks relevant to you [22:23] can you use empathy with a private xmpp server? [22:24] for me nothing root or user for it gives same result [22:24] zzeyu_: sudo apt-get install xorg [22:24] Aginor: it would seem that way. I think since some of the newer kernels, it's not been present, so I'm looking for the linux-ubuntu-modules-* [22:24] afink: do not see why not [22:24] (or just apt-get since you're root) [22:25] Trying to get my display drivers to work, Maverick, Gateway 7320, Intel Extreme 2 (Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)), so far I've had no luck, any help would be greatly appreciated, nothing in the docs I've found online has helped (enough) [22:25] zzeyu_: after xorg, you'll need to make sure you have the dependencies for firefox installed, and possibly a vmdriver to support it [22:25] I'm not terribly experienced with setting up vms. [22:25] thanks Aginor: I appreciate you taking the time to help me out [22:25] where i have to install xorg ? on host or guest ? el_seano [22:26] you have to install xorg on the virtual machine [22:26] how do i turn on mousewheel emulation on my touchpad? [22:26] kieppie: they're supposed to be in linux-ubuntu-modules [22:26] zzeyu_: whatever you have running in virtualbox. [22:26] kieppie: according to http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/lirc-modules-source [22:26] zzeyu_: It might be easier to just install gnome-desktop than a vanilla xserver. [22:26] erUSUL: is there a place to enter my own xmpp server address? [22:27] zzeyu_: (but there are a mighty crapton of dependencies that come with that) [22:27] kieppie: what was the name of the module? [22:27] Aginor: thanks. what repo do I enable? looks like universe? [22:27] Aginor: appleir [22:27] afink: in the adanzed settings in the jabbe type account ( when you add it ) [22:28] advanced* [22:28] jabber* [22:28] i don't have more space to install gnome-desktop [22:28] I see now, got it thank you! [22:29] no problem [22:29] zzeyu_: allocate more space to your vm and restart it? Firefox is a pretty space-hungry app too. If you're just doing light browsing, you could try using a text-based browser. [22:29] zzeyu_: then you could completely sidestep the need for the desktop environment,. [22:29] anyhoo, I'm off for a while. [22:29] * el_seano -> idles. [22:29] kieppie: I'm not finding it in any package [22:30] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z9WVZddH9w [22:30] Aginor: yea. it looks dodgy. may have been dropped ni recent versions..... === bnima is now known as e-anima [22:30] Aginor: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/440466 [22:32] so.... last night i was prompted with an updat, so i updated, but after i updated, my sound no longer works.... anyone know whats with that? [22:33] Does anyone have any hints as to how to get Ubuntu to see my scanner? It's a wireless network scanner/printer combo. Ubuntu sees the printer just fine, but not the scanner. [22:33] !scanner [22:33] Scanning software: simple-scan (GNOME), Gwenview (KDE), Xsane. For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR [22:34] how do i move from network-manager to /etc/network/interfaces properly? [22:34] Evening folks [22:34] Thanks. Looking at that info. [22:34] petar: just add the ifaces to /etc/network/interfaces as you see fit. NM will ignore the ifaces defined there [22:35] ку === roaming is now known as INFURNO === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [22:36] petar: you may have to install resolvconf package [22:36] erUSUL: hmm, thanks.. i tried that but NM kept interfering.. now NM is gone but interfaces still doesnt set up the wlan device properly [22:36] привет [22:36] erUSUL: oh..

Any ideas why when I choose "ubuntu 10.10 latest" and '64 bit' from the download page, I'm fed an ISO with amd64 in the name? Is this ISO really only for AMD processors? [22:38] !amd64 [22:38] AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions#AMD64%20Processors and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64 for more information. [22:38] dre^: amd designed the 64 bit instruction set ( that intel later also implemented ) so they got to name it [22:38] kieppie: have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir1-1/Karmic [22:39] Aginor: sweet, thanks [22:39] erUSUL: ok... but either there is no intel 64 bit ISO, or it's not available on the download page. Any idea which? [22:39] seems like the latter [22:39] kieppie: they have the apple remote section, I don't know how much will apply to you though [22:40] dre^: so it wasn't clear ... the amd64 iso is compatible with both AMD and Intel rocessors [22:40] Aginor: should be the same [22:40] erUSUL: ok great, thanks :) [22:40] processors* [22:40] kieppie: in that case you might be in luck :) [22:41] Aginor: thanks again for your help. makes more sense than anything else I've come accross so far [22:41] How long does paste.ubuntu.com keep your paste? [22:42] good question i would like to know taht [22:42] that [22:42] Some_Person: no idea maybe in #ubuntu-web they know [22:42] erUSUL: There's nobody there [22:43] I *REALLY* need to know now! Security risk! [22:43] Some_Person: my memory is failing me; i know there is a channel for ubuntu web infrastructure ... [22:43] would KDE run okay on an Atom D410 with 1,6 GHz and integrated INtel graphics and 2 GB of ram? [22:44] Some_Person: is #ubuntu-website [22:44] So I put in the new Ubuntu CD to install it on my box and I can't select the second harddrive [22:44] Instead it's just complaining that there is no space left on the first disk. [22:44] wtf? [22:44] and /dev/sdsomething does not exist [22:45] question [22:45] if i make a new user and install apache on it [22:46] it will not load for another user right? [22:46] jc-denton: if you run the livecd, does it see all your disks? [22:46] iconmefisto: where can I check that === cfurlin is now known as Whytwulf [22:46] ? [22:46] Bilz: define « install apache on it » for instalation you use sudo and the package is installed as root no matter what the same as if another user suaed sudo to install it [22:47] erUSUL: thanks [22:47] iconmefisto: What to look for in dmesg? [22:47] erUSUL, ah, okay, thank you [22:47] jc-denton: just run the livecd, then look in the filemanager to see if your disks are accessible [22:47] I don't want that. [22:49] iconmefisto: Thats not the Linux way to do it. [22:49] when i do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart -- then the stuff from /etc/network/interfaces gets read and executed (indirectly of course).. but after boot.. nothing [22:49] and no they are not [22:49] wtf?! === nosaj- is now known as nosa- [22:50] petar: now we use upstart to it would be « sudo start networking » [22:50] erUSUL: and how do i add this to the startup routine? [22:51] since installing new kernels my network card stops working randomly for 5-10 seconds, what can I do? [22:51] Bilz: it depends on how you install the program if you wish you can make it so all users get it [22:51] so i have teamviewer install on my ubuntu box.. but i cant use it untill i log into the system.. how can i disable the login to go right to desktop when restarted [22:51] jc-denton: can you bring up a termianl and try: sudo fdisk -l to see if you hard disk can be seen? [22:51] Does anyone know how I can go about creating a script to copy php pages from a site? [22:51] petar: should be by default [22:51] no [22:51] sacarlson: no [22:52] erUSUL: oh, boy that sounds like trouble [22:52] Mainboard is a gigabyte p55a-ud4 and disks are all sata [22:52] jc-denton: no you can't run fdisk -l or no your no no hard disks can be seen? [22:52] erUSUL: where do I check if its enabled? [22:52] (or not) [22:52] sacarlson: sudo fdisk -l outputs nothing [22:53] ;/ "sudo mount -t ntfs "/dev/sdb" "/media/mnt" then the output says ntfs signature is missing ... wont let me use my drive ? [22:53] * jc-denton cockslaps all Ubuntu devs [22:53] once after installing ubuntu-desktop what is the command to display graphical interface ? [22:53] jc-denton: then what did you boot from? [22:53] jc-denton: first and formost does your bios see the disk [22:53] the cd of course [22:53] joeoshawa: windows does it [22:53] I'm not dumb. [22:54] i didn't say you were just covering bases [22:54] jc-denton: oh is this a wubi install? [22:54] sacarlson: I don't know what wubi is and I don't want it [22:54] btw incidentally being rude is an excellent way to have people tell you rtfm [22:55] zzeyu_: startx [22:55] startx not working [22:55] command not found [22:55] jc-denton: I don't like wubi eather, so you booted direct from cd the pastebin sudo mount [22:56] zzeyu_: are u logged in ? [22:56] zzeyu_: sudo apt-get install gnome [22:56] sacarlson: yes [22:56] yes [22:56] Can anyone tell me if kernel 2.6.36-020636-generic is stable enough for normal usage? [22:57] thanks guys [22:57] zzeyu_: log in use name and password then type startx [22:57] type that and tell us what it says [22:57] no i install gnome-desktop [22:57] jc-denton: please pastebin the results of sudo mount for us to see [22:57] i enter my root and password [22:57] and if i do startx [22:57] i got command not found [22:57] sacarlson: there is no harddrive [22:58] jc-denton: you don't need a hard drive to mount something, lets see the results [22:58] /dev/sd* no such file or dir [22:58] is this normal or what? [22:59] apt-get install x-window-system [22:59] Does anyone know how to copy php? [22:59] zzeyu_: apt-get install x-window-system [22:59] MrSiebel: from where? [22:59] hallo [22:59] jc-denton: that's the results of sudo mount? maybe your not booted are you in grub rescue? [22:59] From a site not owned or hosted by me. Facebook specifically [22:59] no package found joe [22:59] During boot, I have a list of different kernels to boot from. How do I remove those that I don't want to use? [23:00] I use Ubuntu 10.10 [23:00] what distro etc you using exactly [23:00] sacarlson: no i'm not [23:00] MrSiebel: you can not, === goviel is now known as reapcorp [23:00] all this should be installed already [23:00] joeoshawa: I use Ubuntu 10.10 [23:00] Maverick [23:00] jc-denton: no your not in boot rescue? try ls [23:01] So do I have to own the database to have access to the php? === reapcorp is now known as goviel [23:01] sacarlson: ? [23:01] sorry my bad that was for someone else [23:01] zzeyu_: try this sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [23:01] it finds something when i grep for sata in dmesg [23:01] zzeyu_: what distro exactly [23:01] ubuntu [23:01] 10.10? [23:01] yes [23:01] joeoshawa: are you answering me? Because since the installation, there have been other kernels installed [23:01] not zzeyu [23:02] sorry no zzeyu [23:02] jc-denton: if you can grep then you must be booted, why can't we get results from sudo mount command? [23:02] how to get bamboo to work on karmic [23:02] sacarlson: because I don't have a browser?! [23:02] zzeyu_: i don't understand this should all be installed by default [23:02] !pastebinit | jc-denton [23:02] jc-denton: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:02] zzeyu_: did that work ?? [23:03] jc-denton: you don't need a browser you need a terminal type in a terminal sudo mount [23:03] I'm trying to install ubuntu netbook on my Acer Aspire One netbook, and I've made a bootable USB disk per the tutorial, but my netbook won't boot to it! How can I get it to boot to the USB disk? [23:03] I've changed the boot order, btw [23:03] no not working m2mg [23:03] command not found [23:04] zzeyu_: are you sure you didn't install debian by mistake? [23:04] sacarlson: The hd should be available at /dev/sda or something, right? [23:04] jc-denton: also in a terminal try the command sudo fdisk -l [23:04] sacarlson: Yes that returns nothing [23:04] as I said about 100 times [23:04] may be [23:04] jc-denton: yes but you also said mount shows nothing and that's imposible [23:04] Maybe change the sata mode from ide to ahci [23:05] ? [23:05] it should still install those packages but it would make more sence [23:05] Can someone help me with partitioning [23:05] ? [23:05] clarkfischer: you're using ubuntu right now and want to install it over it or just a clean instalation? [23:05] guys what is a command for checking your distro via command line [23:05] Sooooo [23:06] I changed the serial ata control to ahci and it worked! [23:06] joeoshawa: lsb_release -a [23:06] jc-denton: so if we don't recieve the info we need we can't help you [23:06] Linux can't deal with ide mode?!! [23:06] ledah: Clean installation, it currently is running Win7 [23:06] I have a 30 GB ntfs partition [23:06] and what is ahci anyways? [23:06] And a whole bunch of unallocated space [23:06] nm he left [23:06] joeoshawa: cat /etc/issue [23:07] clarkfischer: a dual boot? [23:07] ledah: No, I really have no need for win7 ;) [23:07] jc-denton: ahci is the best mode for a sata chip to work. ide emulation is only there so retarded ( windows XP ) OS's do not choke on install [23:07] debian is a perfectly good disto dont' get me wrong just a completely different problem [23:07] How do I tell the installer to use all the extra space? [23:07] jc-denton: and i say that linux forcing ahci on users is Good Thing (tm) [23:07] erUSUL: will my windows still work after I changed it? [23:08] ledah: Is there a way I can verify that the USB drive is valid? [23:08] zzeyu_: type this in and it will tell u what version of linux u are useing lsb_release -a [23:08] jc-denton: it may need to install the ahci drivers in the next boot [23:08] erUSUL: yeah like that it does not install when u just enter the cd is a good thing. [23:08] Do I set it as a logical or primary partition? [23:08] clarkfischer: change the boot order in the bios [23:08] -_- [23:08] ledah: I've done it. It checks it for a second, then reverts to win7 [23:08] i made a great kids computer with a dell t500 and debian with fluxbox and rox [23:08] jc-denton: you come here; we tell you about your evil ways. you change your bios settings and everything works ;) for the better [23:09] erUSUL: I mean they could at least write it somewhere, if they don't wnat to support it [23:09] I got this weird problem. Whenever I connect to a network, the /etc/resolve.conf changes, but when I connect to home network it doesn't. And I have to manually edit the file to nameserver 192.168.0.1. Anyone know how to solve? [23:09] jc-denton: to be fair it should support the ide mode too; somethimes you need to pass the all-generic-ide boot option [23:09] if it doesn't autostart maybe the usb have an issue or maybe the live cd, how do you create the usb? [23:10] incidentally if anyone knows how to find a fried resistor in a crt monitor my 4 year old would love you for ever [23:10] joeoshawa: requires an ohm meter [23:10] > what is the format that ubuntu prefers for external hdd [23:10] please tell me you can see what im saying [23:10] i know just wish i knew the rest of it [23:10] dascapital: yes we see [23:11] alright thanks [23:11] ereotav: whatever you want - but the default is ext4 [23:11] numbers it should be at etc [23:11] xfs ftw [23:11] may take it to a school with electrical shop [23:11] clarkfischer: via live usb crator fedora or the win7 one?

Anyone know why links to hosted files work fine for some people and others can only right click link and save as but not view or dl by left click? [23:12] jc-denton: yes [23:12] ledah: I'm using a mac os x laptop to create the USB drive. I used hdiutil to convert it to an img then dd to copy it to the drive [23:12] jc-denton: especially for suspend [23:12] so can anyone help me connect to the internet [23:12] so why can't I define a mountpoint for swap in the ubuntu instlal thing [23:12] jc-denton: swap does not have a mont point [23:13] dascapital_: What seems to be the problem? [23:13] it wont connect [23:13] even if i plug in the ethernet cable [23:13] doesnt show any networks [23:13] i can get internet when i boot into windows though [23:13] dascapital_: Are you on a router? [23:13] yes [23:14] do you think it would work if i just removed the router [23:14] can anyone here help me figure out why a file is downloadable only by half the people who click it? [23:14] and plugged it directly into the phone line [23:14] im a retard [23:14] strigoi_66: does ubuntu see the network card [23:14] Hi [23:15] physics [23:15] dascapital_: You could try but maybe just reset the router and modem so that it can refresh the ip address! [23:15] how do i test if it can see it [23:15] i did try to reset [23:15] Is there someway I can downgrade a program (libjpeg62) [23:15] fuck [23:15] or even just remove it... though while trying to remove it, synaptic shows a whole lot os stuff that ll get removed with it [23:15] incliuding gnome [23:16] clarkfischer: diskutil is the same as hdiutil? sorry low mac use, i heard about it via diskutil [23:16] something about user mime types [23:16] hello [23:16] i tried disconnecting the router [23:16] lol [23:16] ubentobox, [23:16] but then i realized you wouldnt be able to talk to me anymore [23:16] I need advice on a advance power managment program to control USB ports while a laptop is in suspend mode....Any Ideas? [23:16] Hey guys. Really weird problem: my password works for sudo, but not for the software center. What's going on? [23:16] ledah: htiutil is basically just a disk manipulation utility. I just used it to convert the .iso to a .img [23:16] dascapital_: did you power off the router and the modem [23:16] no [23:16] yeah brontoeee? [23:17] i guess ill try that [23:17] ledah: Is there a good way to verify the validity of the usb drive? [23:17] something about user mime types [23:17] I am having difficulty getting nfs to mount when I reboot. I have configured /etc/fstab but no dice. [23:17] dascapital you should have a listing under system network tools that says loopback interface (lo) then if you hit the arrow it should list one that says something like ethernet interface (eth0) [23:17] you think that would cost it? [23:17] err causse [23:17] also I can mount using sudo mount -a after the machine boots with no problems [23:17] dascapital_: did you try in a terminal ifconfig [23:18] dascapital_: dont feel bad i have a laptop that if i boot XP then ubuntu i have no Internet but if i unplug it for 2 min's then boot Ubuntu i get Internet something about my network card in that laptop [23:18] realmatt: mount is attemped before network is accesible ? [23:18] if i reboot i have to log in wait log out then log in again [23:19] erUSUL: that is what I am thinking. I have the _netdev option in fstab but still nothing [23:19] then i have internet [23:19] i tried turning off and on the router [23:19] didnt work [23:19] i think its the router [23:19] I need a advance power managment program for laptops to manage USB port...Any help [23:19] the router works fine i get perfect internet on windows and os x [23:19] dascapital: do you have two machines [23:20] realmatt: use autofs? [23:20] yes im typing on a desktop [23:20] clarkfischer: fsck is the only one i can think right now [23:20] !autofs [23:20] Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab.

[23:21] no its a wireless router but i have a wired connection [23:21] hello. what is the difference between ubuntu for dekstop and ubuntu for laptops? (except the gui environment) [23:21] ledah: That will verify that the filesystem isn't corrupt, but it won't necessarily verify that the data on the USB drive is 100% what I downloaded, correct?

[23:22] cat ran over keyboard [23:22] clarkfischer: yes, but why the question where you downloaded the iso file? [23:22] lol i forget the command [23:23] hello! my clock widget displays "12:22 AM" - not sure but I tend to think that it's not very appropriate, I'd understand 00:22 AM better. Bug or just me? [23:23] didn't think about it till now [23:23] ledah: I don't know. It won't boot, so my first instinct is that something is corrupted. I downloaded the legitimate iso from ubuntu.com/netbook [23:23] joeoshawa, Or, where it says "Available to all users" check might work. [23:23] what is the command i will put a widget up top === gigi is now known as Guest31242 [23:24] it is rather anoying [23:24] if I am trying to rsync data from a machine that has a limit of 1.5mb per connection and my connection speed is 50mb/down, is there a way to make multiple connections using rysnc from the same machine without getting duplicate data? [23:24] never happened with rogers [23:25] http://pastebin.com/h5sQ6tf1 [23:25] thats ifconfig [23:25] clarkfischer: well unless something weird happened in the download process i doubt it, do you have a win pc near or a linux? if you have format the usb to fat system move the iso to the drive then download UNetbootin [23:25] funny thing up here rogers doesn't officially support linux however they do look for employees with linux experience [23:25] im running ubuntu server x86_64 10.10 with an NVIDIA ION GPU and its connected to a TV via HDMI but im getting a recurring blank-picture-blank-picture, etc. when starting X...it works fine on my monitor via DVI cable... [23:26] bell does not in any way shape or form support linux [23:26] Elad: I guess you could since it's the same as ssh and I can ssh into one system many times [23:26] joeoshawa, That's because Linux users are less lazy than pure Windows users. [23:26] Elad: http://code.google.com/p/parallel-ssh/ might be for you [23:26] hello there [23:26] yeah but why rogers yes and linux no [23:26] sorry bell no [23:26] so can anyone help me get my internet on ubuntu [23:27] Elad: just have each rsync do different directorys? [23:27] Im having a really weird problem .. while erasing a file say 5 GB from my HDD while I have 16 GB free space .. and then emptying my trash there's still only 16 GB left ... why ist that ? [23:27] Aginor, thanks for the link [23:27] bell tells there employees only to say we do not support linux even if they know the answer [23:27] hello, anyone using actively the command line? I want to change the colors from the command line :( [23:27] dascapital__: you do not have a eth0 in the ifconfig -a output? [23:27] sacarlson, that is kind of what I was thinking, but was wondering if I could do a larger grouping.. and ultimately be lazy [23:27] dascapital_: Please be patient as there are many options to consider in helping someone! [23:27] :) [23:27] Hey guys. Ubuntu software center (and other gui apps) aren't accepting my password. Any idea about what's going on? [23:28] gibbster: Lock CAPS on? [23:28] joeoshawa, Well, as far as tech support, networking should be independent of OS. [23:28] nope [23:28] bobobo: nope. I can sudo in a terminal right after [23:28] i know [23:28] erUSUL_: [23:28] dascapital__: what ethernet chip/card do you have? [23:28] Elad: I'm not sure how there accounting is working also, maybe they just count how much to what ip address not what port [23:28] dascapital__: lspci | grep -i net [23:28] Sinaptics? Another instance of software center already opened? [23:28] joeoshawa, So giving tech support for OS specific settings isn't supposed to be their job. [23:28] Can I install grub on my Windows harddrive and then load Windows and linux from there? [23:28] bobobo: just restarted [23:29] gibbster: then I really don't know :) [23:29] !dualboot | jc-denton [23:29] jc-denton: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [23:29] jc-denton: i don't see why you couldn't... where is grub installed now? [23:29] Can grub load an os from another (physical) disk? [23:29] it's really weird [23:29] yeah i realise that but with rogers i asked for certian info and the guy said you got linux and said do this this this and this [23:29] bing connected [23:29] jc-denton: yes, of course [23:29] !stats [23:29] erUSUL_: how do i tell what my ethernet chip is? [23:29] cool [23:29] bell sorry sir go to control pannel [23:30] i just want the numbers [23:30] ok now just the nvidia dev drivers are left [23:30] !grub2 | jc-denton there's instructions here to reinstall grub, you just need to adjust your "target" drive. [23:30] jc-denton there's instructions here to reinstall grub, you just need to adjust your "target" drive.: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:30] dascapital__: paste the *one* or *two* line(s) here [23:30] sorry sir you need to go to control [23:30] i dont have windows [23:30] ...

[23:30] we do not support linux [23:30] click [23:30] you just need to ask the right questions like i need the dns joeoshawa bell always gives them out [23:30] anyone? why does my HDD don't get more space when I erase files from it?? [23:30] since installing new kernels my network card stops working randomly for 5-10 seconds, what can I do? [23:30] dascapital__: the ones « lspci | grep -i net » returned [23:31] i asked that they are dense [23:31] joeoshawa: very few places support linux, so if you're the type to call tech support for anything, linux is not for you. [23:31] m_fulder: some filesystem corruption? passed a fsck ¿? [23:31] i got an installer i know to give me the info [23:31] dascapital_: from what u posted u dont have a network card only a loop back from what i see [23:31] bobobo: I got around it by doing sudo software-center [23:31] why does ubuntu want not to update linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic? [23:31] bobobo: but that's a workaround, not a solution [23:31] erUSUL, passed a fsck? what do you mean+ [23:32] i was looking for the numbers and password connection info not tech support [23:32] erUSUL_: Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet (rev c0) [23:32] suigeneris, Is it alreayd up to date? [23:32] fsck is the tool to do a filesystem check in linux [23:32] Israfel-Laptop, newer versions ae in the repos [23:32] are* [23:33] gibbster: that's odd, what version are you using? [23:33] i dunno lol [23:33] does Ubuntu support genius gpen m609 drawing pad? [23:33] suigeneris, Are they the stable ones? What does the sudo apt-get message say? (Click Details if using the GUI.) [23:33] bobobo: 10.10 [23:33] dascapital__: do this « sudo modprobe atl1e » and the do « sudo ifconfig -a » [23:33] dascapital__: does eth0 show up now? [23:33] bobobo: I upgraded to the desktop from the server version though [23:33] Israfel-Laptop, I'm not using GUI, [23:33] woohoooo! my battery backup works! [23:33] bobobo: maybe that has something to do with it [23:34] ah erUSUL ..thile running just "fsck" I get the error message : WARNING!!! The filesystem is mounted .. If you continue you WILL cause SERVE filesystem damage ... should I still run it? :S [23:34] suigeneris, So what's the message when you try to install/update it? [23:34] suigerneris are you doing any virtual machines on the unit [23:34] erUSUL_: gimme a sec [23:34] m_fulder: you have to do it from a livecd or do a « sudo touch /forcefsck » and reboot [23:34] m_fulder: do not fsck a live filesystem [23:34] peraphs [23:34] m_fulder: no do not do it with the fs mounted [23:34] Israfel-Laptop, it just says those will not be updated [23:35] gibbster: are you skilled on the server? [23:35] erUSUL_: still no eth0 [23:35] does Ubuntu support genius gpen m609 drawing pad? [23:35] Hello [23:35] bobobo: yeah. not bad. but there a few times when gnome is useful [23:35] What is that wireless internet sharing program? [23:35] suigeneris, Maybe they've been replaced by something else? [23:35] does anyone knows how to mount LVM partition in ubuntu10.10? [23:35] That shares internet through ad-hoc [23:35] ah hm :( [23:35] lolcat: Network manager can do that. [23:35] no other options to check/repair it erUSUL , fumblnoob [23:36] erUSUL_: eth0 still doesnt show up [23:36] how can i launch nautilus as a specific user not just root? [23:36] no idea === jeremy is now known as Guest54110 [23:36] lolcat: System > Preferences > Network Conntections. Create a new shared connection.

How to I sort out the IP mess? [23:36] what is eth0? [23:36] ah no! the terminal now has a purple background?! [23:36] thanks anyway Israfel-Laptop [23:36] i'm going to puke [23:36] erUSUL_: what is eth0? [23:36] dascapital__: is the name linux gives to ethernet cards [23:36] gibbster: do you know bu chance how to change the terminal background color from the bashrc? [23:36] goddard, open terminal ad type sudo nautilus [23:36] hmm [23:36] dascapital__: when it recognices them === root is now known as Guest77673 [23:37] lolcat: It's all automagic (it sets up port forwarding, DNS forwarding, and starts a DHCP server automatically). [23:37] dascapital__: can you do « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(lsb_release -cs)-generic » [23:37] What the hell is wrong with the ubuntu forums? Its refreshing like 10 times a second when you make a new thread... [23:37] bobobo: no sorry. not something I particularly care about [23:37] chiking, ask in #ubuntuforums [23:37] erUSUL_: all in one line?

This video shows how to do it: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/10/16/video-fedora-10-connection-sharing/ [23:41] jc-denton: sorry, what I said assumed you wanted to know how to stop if from starting automatically at boot. If you just want to stop it now, you can do: sudo stop gdm [23:41] jc-denton, what exactly you want to do then? [23:41] install nv dev driver [23:41] Jordan_U: That is fedora! [23:41] erUSUL, then this is what I got: http://pastebin.com/FbHb1TSm which I guess is good news [23:41] I'm wanting to start C++ what libs, program/s would i need?

[23:44] All I have is a background, and any mounted drives are 'listed' on the desktop. no menus, mouse occasionally fails and the only keyboard shortcuts avail are for the terminal and the file-explorer [23:44] I tried gksudo -u username nautilus [23:45] and it appears to work but nothing happens [23:45] goddard, there is another way, try "ssh username@localhost -X" without quotes [23:45] then i tried su - username [23:45] and that didn't work [23:45] Jordan_U: My network manager doesn't do anything apparently... [23:45] VPS problem: I created a new user on my Ubuntu VPS. Now when I enter "who" it only shows "root" user.

[23:46] and I've already done a make-install effort for the binary ati drivers [23:46] I did that originally and it killed my WiFi drivers [23:46] jpsman: disown [23:46] Jordan_U: I can open the menu where I select things from nm-applet, but clicking on anything doesn't do anything [23:46] jpsman: using & after a command delegates it to 'background' [23:46] goddard, sorry, you have to change the username with the real username which is exist in you computer... for example if i have a user name suraj I will type " su - suraj" [23:46] So i figured I'd use 10.10 directly [23:46] jrib, ClifFoo danke [23:46] which leaves your terminal relatively free most of the time [23:47] jpsman: nohup command & or command & disown $! [23:47] jpsman: or use screen/tmux [23:47] do u guys acctually like the default ubuntu theme? [23:47] !screen [23:47] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH.
