[00:05] dascapital__: well... have you tried hooking it up to your router via a network cable? [00:05] yes [00:05] KM0201 i was the noob guy last time with the same problem [00:05] you might not remember [00:06] but my nickname was noob last time [00:06] i just never solved it [00:06] what is in the new kernel upgrade to 10.04? the .8 one [00:06] dascapital__: thats right, you got kicked cuz you were anoyng. [00:06] dascapital__: does the machine have a wireless device?.. or only wired [00:06] it is a very difficult problem it seems [00:06] dascapital__: what kernel are you using? to see try uname -a and pastebinit to us [00:06] it should have a wireless device [00:07] sacarlson: he can't do that, no internet at all on ubuntu [00:07] KM0201: He claimed his problem was it could, not that it couldn't [00:07] for some reason its not seeing his network card [00:07] dascapital__: oh right past it here it's just one line just then number part [00:07] lolcat: well if he's connected to the internet, then he really doesn't have a problem [00:07] Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 [00:07] KM0201: I tried telling him that [00:07] need the rest? [00:07] dascapital__: are you on the internet now? [00:08] not on my laptop [00:08] dascapital__: ok... i was confused... [00:08] dascapital__: run "lspci | grep Ethernet" w/o quotes, and see if it turns back a wireless device [00:08] a command line irc chat client should be included in ubuntu just incase x11 messes up on people [00:09] dascapital__: no that fine, I would try another version of ubuntu maybe older or the 11.04 version [00:09] sacarlson: thats already an old kernel, why wouldh e want to go older?. [00:09] dascapital_: open a terminal and type lspci to see if you have a wired or wireless card in your computer [00:10] yes [00:10] dascapital__: does it show your wireless device? if so, what is it [00:10] Atheros Communications AR81451 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet [00:10] KM0201: dascapital__ ; true newer might be better and I see history in 2.6.32-22-generic as bad already so I guess newer, [00:10] no wireless device shows up [00:11] can someone help me out with privoxy?.....can get it to install and run on default ip:port, but after changing to lan netmask and different port, privoxy cannot bind to ip (permission denied) [00:11] so should i delete this OS from windows and install another one?? [00:11] dascapital__: the atheros device you posted, i'm pretty sure thats your ethernet jack. [00:11] dascapital__: try lspci | grep Wireless [00:11] KMO0201_: ok so how do i connect via ethernet [00:12] erUSUL, I solved my problem .. somehow the files where still hidden on my desktop :S really weird [00:12] just returns nothing [00:12] dascapital__: lshw -c network will show you all network devices, wired and wireless [00:12] ok [00:12] dascapital__: I also noteed that the modprobe you aready did was not the same I suggested just one letter different at the end [00:12] this is dascapitals ifconfig http://pastebin.com/h5sQ6tf1] [00:13] http://pastebin.com/h5sQ6tf1 [00:13] should it be network controller??? [00:13] dascapital_: hold on lets try one thing type in the terminal ifdown eth0 then type ifup eth0 the first command will shutdown the net card and the second command should bring it back up [00:13] Purchased a BlueRay RW CD drive and put it in my Ubuntu Box.. Record DVD's fine but BlueRay disks seem to be problem.. Any advice? [00:13] dascapital__: you could try network controller.. bprobably won't change anything though "lspci | grep Network" [00:13] sacarlson_: oh sorry i never heard you that it was one letter off lol [00:14] jodie_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD [00:14] Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4357 [00:15] dascapital__: wow bad set broadcom has a history of not working out of the box [00:15] dascapital__: that broadcom, is very likely your wireless devicr [00:15] sacarlson_: so should i get a new wireless device? how much will that cost [00:16] dascapital__: just stop for a second... [00:16] KM0201_: ok.... [00:16] dascapital__: do you see anything in system/admin/hardware drivers [00:16] KM0201_: nope [00:16] i think his connection is working [00:16] dascapital__: I see people getting your ethernet working with a compile at this site http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1476231 [00:16] by his ifconfig [00:16] i think its probably a router problem [00:16] dascapital__: so since they have had it working at this time I would think a newer kernel should work [00:17] dascapital__: were you the one that could go to some websites, but couldn't go to others? [00:17] sacarlson_: so i just type that into terminal and my wifi will show up? [00:17] KM0201_: no i cant get onto the internet at all [00:17] ok [00:18] i want to connect to my virtualized o/s on my server using virt-viewer w/o ssh. how do i do it?

[00:18] none droped or lost [00:19] KM0201_: like a newer model of ubuntu? i heard ubuntu was for beginners so i installed that, whats another easy distro??

I'm only interested in getting the files to disk. [00:19] dascapital__: do you have access to log in to yoru router? [00:19] jodie_: ah, sorry [00:19] joeoshawa: i still don't think its a router issue [00:19] KM0201_: i dont know.. lol [00:19] KM0201: dascapital__: that's not a bad idea and if you really want ubuntu after you find a working desto just use there working kernel to boot ubuntu [00:19] http://distrowatch.com/ [00:20] sacarlson_: whats not a bad idea? [00:20] dascapital__: try another destro to find a working kernel [00:20] sacarlson_: any recommendations?? [00:20] dascapital__: is there a label on your router [00:21] dascapital__: do this... go here, and download this ISO http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Live/i686/Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso burn it to a disk, and boot it in "Live Mode".. and see if you can get an internet connection [00:21] . [00:22] dascapital__: does ethernet work from the live cd boot you installed from? [00:22] Hey guys, i have a bash question... [00:22] dascapital_: i installed it from windows to dualboot without using a cd [00:22] shoot [00:22] can i play mw2 under wine?? or counter strike? [00:22] How can you read a file and output it to a variable... [00:22] hello [00:22] dascapital__: oh crap... STOP.. before you do anything with Fedora, make sure you remove ubuntu from Wubi. [00:22] i cant do it.... no matter what i do [00:22] dascapital__: oh this is wubi [00:23] Descriptioned: i think CS is definitely supported, MW2 - not so sure; check the site lists [00:23] * KM0201 wishes wubi had never been released [00:23] KM0201_: i was going to uninstall/remove linux anyways, but why? and whats Wubi? [00:23] lol that was a question earlier [00:23] aeon-ltd: where i can check that could u give me link? [00:23] dl ubuntu 10.10 [00:23] live cd [00:23] burn it on lowest setting [00:24] dascapital__: wubi is the method of install from windows I assume that's not where your problem comes from [00:24] after checking md5 [00:24] anyone? How to get file content to a variable in bash? [00:24] dascapital__: wubi is what you used to install ubuntu inside Windows. [00:24] I'm looking to install an Open Source CMS, specifically Drupal, but before I do I wanted to be clear on whether or not it would affect my existing LAMP setup (as it obviously will be serving as a local webserver)? [00:24] alright... [00:25] dascapital__: first things first, uninstall wubi... please make sure you do that.. cuz if you try to install ubuntu on top of wubi, you're in for a mess [00:25] Sqeazer__: SOMETHIING=`cat ` [00:25] jodie_: does not work [00:25] SOMETHING would then be cat file.txt [00:25] also, are there any good channels to go seak info on Django, Ruby on Rails, PHP Frameworks etc... I'm a complete stranger to Frameworks and CMSes, but I know my way around php/mysql [00:25] mr_sheds try http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ [00:25] Descriptioned: http://appdb.winehq.org/index.php http://www.cedega.com// [00:25] Sqeazer, what type of variable? Bash array? [00:26] mr_shed: Theres #django [00:26] na, just a normal veriable. [00:26] that would hold a string... [00:26] KM0201_: so i uninstall ubuntu and wubi? or just ubuntu? [00:26] m2mg: it need to install any extra wine plugi ? [00:26] like VAR="Hello" [00:26] hi. im installing ubuntu right now.. and it is stuck in 'wiping swap space for security'.. progress bar didn;t move in a while.. is this step necessary? can i hardreboot? [00:26] dascapital__: can i PM you?.. you're gonna make a mess, i can just tell [00:26] KM0201: dascapital__ or could wubi that be the problem? In my ralink I had problems when I booted windows and then rebooted to run ubuntu my wifi adapter wouldn't work since the nv rom in the device was loaded from windows, if I unpluged the device or powered off my system it would work if ubuntu was first to boot [00:27] ok [00:27] bitter: it takes some time, just leave it run [00:27] dascapital__: now are you listening? [00:27] Sqeazer, the backticked command that jodie posted should work. Alternative form is variable=$(cat filename) [00:27] xyz, thanks for the link but, I see a back-up service at that page...? [00:27] since installing new kernels my network card stops working randomly for 5-10 seconds, what can I do? [00:27] Sqeazer__: from prompt do date > junk.txt; JUNK=`cat junk.txt`; export JUNK; set |grep JUNK [00:27] Pici, thanks I'll go join there in a mo. [00:28] Descriptioned: wine is free cedega is not wine will tell u if it work with your version just search for the name of the game and i thin mw2 is in there [00:28] dascapital__: it might be a waist of time but you might try burn a cd of ubuntu and see if it works or try boot from a usb flash disk [00:28] Sqeazer: ok [00:28] Sqeazer: You may want to ask in #bash if we're confusing you here :) [00:29] Nah, i'm folowing you :) Just a sec [00:29] im trying to ssh into my ubuntu server.. and it says connection timed out.. i foward the ports on my router.. but it still seems like my wan ip doesnt have that port open.. i can connect locally [00:29] Descriptioned: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10600 [00:29] Does anyone know why when I convert a video in VLC it always outputs a 1MB file that cant be played? I have set all my settings for the video and audio before converting. [00:30] hey guys, i'm running gnome on netbook remix 10.10, tomboy alt+F12 doesn't seem to work, [00:30] weeeeak -.- i was using quotes -.- [00:30] shortcut access to my notes,, i NEEED it!!! [00:30] :P [00:30] 'cat filename' instead of `cat filename` [00:30] k, thanks guys :) [00:31] Sqeazer, that's why I prefer the other form of $() [00:31] i have installed proftpd on ubuntu server. But no mater i do with the configuration i can get anyone to connect [00:31] it's 20 minutes in 23%.. disk is doing nothing... i think it's broken [00:31] hi :) problem here ssh -N -D cindy@cindy-VirtualBox [00:32] i have even tried connecting locally [00:32] Bad dynamic forwarding specification 'cindy@cindy-VirtualBox' [00:32] whats up root?

[00:33] or what ftp package do you all recommend? [00:33] google it [00:33] root___: filezilla [00:33] whats your prob root? [00:34] dule, I had some desktop settings and Panels, some how they all went haywire and i can not figure out how to go back to defaults [00:34] root___: did you try ssh? [00:34] !duke | google [00:34] where does ubuntu save temp file that are opened in firefox? [00:34] files [00:34] i have googled i have came up with proftpd [00:34] but i can't get anyone to connect [00:34] google was at induz sry [00:34] root___, check the settings in /etc/default/proftpd and /etc/inetd.conf. Also check the log in /var/log/daemon.log [00:34] mh i think ftp you use the modzilla plugin what you wanna do? [00:35] root___, also try connecting locally "ftp://127.0.0.1" [00:35] jhansonxi: I have receated /etc/default/proftpd.conf and ran proftpd -td5 without issues. [00:35] root___: did you try sudo apt-get install ssh to see if you can at least ssh in and posibly use that for file transfer? [00:36] jhansonxi: localhost does not work [00:36] sacarlson: im on ssh to the box now [00:36] it me look at /var/log/daemon.log [00:36] root___: is that not an option then to move files? [00:37] sacarlson: oh no, i need to setup ftp in a DMZ. [00:38] first time trying to use proftpd [00:38] root___: I've played a bit with proftp the config is complicated [00:38] root___, normally proftpd is started on-demand by inetd. [00:39] jhansonxi: and it is. that way for me [00:40] here is somthing in daemon.log [00:40] in.ftpd[3524]: error: cannot execute /usr/sbin/in.ftpd: No such file or directory [00:41] Hello. [00:41] How do I hide all desktop icons in ubuntu? [00:41] root___: I think part of the complexity was it also uses apparmor so that may need to be configured also [00:41] root___, in my system /etc/inetd.conf: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd [00:42] wow, ksm is pretty awesome [00:42] when is vlc 1.0.6 going to be upgraded to 1.1.6 in ubuntu 10.04 [00:43] currently saving me 143 mb [00:43] sacarlson: you lost me. [00:43] ssh -N -D cindy@cindy-VirtualBox is syntax wrong? [00:43] magicianlord: It likely wont, unless theres a reason for it to be backported. [00:43] jhansonxi: i have to edit my inetd.conf [00:43] root___: check sudo apparmor_status see if your proftp is in the list [00:44] sacarlson: oh thanks i willtry [00:44] it says this will start a socks proxy i have just installed ss and run on server [00:44] no futher configs i did [00:44] Pici: it would be good for it to be upgraded to a current version [00:45] Newbie here, would appreciate anyones help on a wireless issue should you have the opportunity. http://paste.ubuntu.com/558785/ [00:45] i can ping host and hostname known [00:45] sacarlson: apparmor_status doesn't show proftpd at all [00:45] sacarlson: what should i do? Or what did i do wrong? === capnschmitty is now known as CapnSchmitty [00:46] root___: cool then don't have to worry about that [00:46] magicianlord: Well unfortunately that isn't always a good enough reason. :/ You may want to take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports if you'd like to try to push it along yourself. [00:46] sacarlson: oh that is good it not being listed? [00:46] :/ mhhhhhhhhhhhh [00:47] does fios block port 22? [00:47] root___, ftp is not in my apparmor_status either but it still works. [00:47] hey KM0201 [00:47] root___: well yes it adds more security that would have to be configured, if it's not setup then nothing to configure [00:47] dascapital: yes? [00:47] KM0201_: my power went out lol [00:48] kvirc automatically downloads avitars? [00:48] dunno if i like that [00:48] * Loongjiang is away [00:48] jhansonxi: how does your ftp line read for inetd.conf [00:49] i don't like my downloading anything without permission [00:49] Exactly as I posted above [00:49] root___: I'm on the side of low security so I say that's a good thing [00:49] my computer that is [00:49] jhansonxi: you know how to page up in irssi [00:50] i have forgotten [00:50] :) [00:50] root___, did you install a different FTP server earlier and then replace it with ProFTP? [00:50] what is the best irc client [00:50] root___, inetd.conf: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/proftpd [00:50] jhansonxi: i might have [00:51] can evolution offers to have 2 different accounts and different folders [00:51] root___, if you removed but did not "purge" it (different commands) then the setting from the previous one may have been left behind. [00:51] i know its opinion blah blah blah i am asking for opinion what irc client is the best [00:51] xchat [00:51] Hi. I'm getting a "could not initiatte dbus" error from update-manager. Can someone point me to a fix? [00:51] jhansonxi: hmmmmm, thanks i think you got it [00:51] i did do that [00:51] KM0201_: uhh, dont know how to pm lol [00:52] xchat you consider better then kvirc then [00:52] i want to remove this one i dont' like random files dling [00:52] root___, based on the log message it looks like inetd is trying to start a different executable. [00:52] :) [00:53] ssh -o ProxyCommand="/connect-proxy -H :p %h %p" -p 443 @ [00:53] and being able to autoauthenticate would be good [00:53] Newbie here, would appreciate anyones help on a wireless issue should you have the opportunity. http://paste.ubuntu.com/558785/ [00:53] instead of typing the nickserv command [00:53] i can use this but i want for all destinations not to define just one [00:53] It's already possible to have a whole system encryption just from the installer? [00:54] that could be a problem tho [00:54] KM0201_: yea wubi or whatever it is is definitley off [00:54] if your system ever locks up and you can't find the key [00:54] n e one with some insides on WMA v8 codec in video files ? [00:54] KM0201_: HEY!! [00:54] live cd is useless [00:55] anyone having problems with dual installs...aka remoe user desktop [00:55] jhansonxi: I have replace that line, now how do i get the change to take affect. [00:55] is it possible to erase files from a .zip compressed folder using terminal? [00:55] how do i restart inetd? [00:55] remote user destop and dual installs are two different things i think [00:56] remote user destop would be like thin client i believe [00:56] anyone having problems with dual installs...aka remoe user desktop [00:56] dascapital2: answer your PM [00:56] truthslave: please explain what the problem is [00:57] root___, I think it takes effect immediately. Just try to connect locally with an ftp client to 127.0.0.1 and if it fails then check the logs again (tail /var/log/daemon.log or /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log) [00:58] seems i had hosts running as false devices ..includig sata.. and hdmi [00:58] m_fulder: check out the zip command. It has a 'delete' option (warning: keep a backup copy of the original in case you mess it up...) [00:58] jhansonxi: I did just that, daemon.log still show the old executeable [00:58] WMA v8 codec ....anyone ? [00:59] Does anyone here have experience with the stackexchange system from askubuntu? [00:59] jhansonxi: but i have changed in the inetd.conf [00:59] Chelsea: #ubuntu-stack [00:59] or is it #ubuntu-x [00:59] google tell me that there is /etc/init.d/inetd, but i dont have it [01:00] coraxx: see if there's something useful here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-901909.html [01:00] Loshki, thanks [01:00] will check it out [01:00] root___, inetd doesn't have an init script or Upstart job so all I can suggest is to try a reboot. [01:00] Loshki: thanx...I'll check :-) [01:01] hmmm... both ;) [01:02] jhansonxi: that has to be a way, no? [01:02] root___: I just installed proftp-basic and was able to ftp localhost and login to my present user account, I selected inetd install option at install [01:02] root___, I'm out of ideas but I think the error in the logs is the key. You could try running it as a daemon instead then start it with "/etc/init.d/proftpd start" [01:02] sacarlson: ya, jhansonxi hit it on the head. I had installed another ftp packge with out purge and now im left with this mess [01:03] jhansonxi: i think you fix my problem, Thank you [01:03] but i need to know how start inetd with out reboot [01:03] i restarted my computer and now all the folders/files on my flash stick are locked? [01:04] Loshki: unfortunately no new info in the link :--( ...I've done all I know how ...with medibuntu ... the installation of the restricted-extras ...still can't hear WMA v8 in Video files. [01:04] want to know what people think this is my desktop i got the login screen the same with a black and red theme for the login box [url=http://www.imagehosting.com/][img]http://piczasso.com/i/ha4ki.png[/img][/url] [01:04] root___: ya not sure how to fix that, I think the problem would be in the inetd config then if you just delete all the lines after a purge of proftp and reinstall maybe that will fix it [01:04] joeoshawa, not the place to show off desktops [01:04] joeoshawa, try #ubuntu-offtopic [01:05] i restarted my computer and now all the folders/files on my flash stick are locked? [01:05] np will do nexttime [01:05] thanks [01:06] twit half off? [01:06] Niglop: different owner [01:06] magicianlord› ? [01:06] root___, it is started by the network subsystem FWICT. Look in /etc/network/interfaces. [01:07] i think niglops point is he would want to access it anywhere [01:07] could anybody help me please? [01:07] Niglop: I might...what's the problem ? [01:07] coraxx› [01:07] i restarted my computer and now all the folders/files on my flash stick are locked? [01:07] root___, you may have to ifdown/ifup or restart networking [01:07] a usb stick is not very usefull if you cannot access it from other computers [01:08] Niglop: was the flash drive yanked out during the reboot ? [01:08] nop why [01:09] Niglop: can you access the files as root? [01:09] Niglop: just diagnosing ... sometimes its a filesystem problem ...sometimes its a mounting problem ...in your case is proberly a mounting problem. [01:09] GaryD› yes [01:09] Hi, I'm getting an error in update-manager saying: could not initiate dbus. It works if I run an X session as root and run it. Running it with sudo doesn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. http://paste.ubuntu.com/558785/ [01:09] is there a permission setting for flash drives [01:09] Niglop: first take out the flash drive ...make sure you are logged on your ubuntu [01:09] root___, you could change proftpd to daemon mode with "dpkg-reconfigure proftpd-basic". Reinstall and then purge the other ftp package and then change ProFTP back to inetd. [01:10] im running ubuntu-server 10.10 with a wireless adapter. My power just went out and now my box wont connect to the network. Everything is the same in /etc/networking/interfaces file, and i tried /etc/init.d/networking restart and it still did not connect. All of my other wireless devices have automatically connected back to the network router without a problem. Any ideas?

[01:28] after succesfull installation the usb stick is broken and i can't boot it again [01:28] that is better [01:29] wow the white background [01:29] i gues.. somewhere in the installation the writing is done on usb stick instead of hdd [01:29] KM0201: They have a utility to capture logs in a tar file and responded back within 15 minutes [01:29] pzn: I don't know :) in our case it was more a question of what was available at the time which didn't require us to have differnt software on one of the machines and could also drive dvi-only [01:30] itaylor57: well, pretty cool [01:30] why would find without rootpriviliges try to -exec a file i dont own?

[01:33] good question pzn, wanna know too [01:33] pzn: as in, position in the desktop provided by X? it's handled by the window manager so find a suitable window manager [01:33] I removed most of /etc/ldap, which broke slapd (open-ldap). Now I cannot do anything with apt-get, because I tried to purge slapd, but the prerm script is failing, which meant I can't do anything with packages. How can I fix this ? [01:34] pzn open it in the window you wish it to be in [01:34] pzn: depending on your setup you can have an X server per monitor, one spanning several monitors or a combination [01:34] Every time I try to do anything with apt-get, it tries to sort of slapd which fails at: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 [01:34] pzn: DISPLAY=:0.0 command [01:34] are the only people who use gentoo, geeks?

[01:34] I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu, 10.10, after an update, it boots straight into terminal mode (sorry, not been using linux for long, not sure what's the proper terminology for this). How do I fix this? [01:35] pzn: You can find the proper value for $DISPLAY by running "echo $DISPLAY" in a terminal in the X session in question. [01:35] Jordan_U, nice! I'll try it [01:35] Jordan_U: that'll only make a difference if he's running multiple X-servers though [01:35] Zwei, init 5 [01:36] what PDF viewer would you recommend? [01:36] amosk: init 5? [01:36] ahh that is a different story so to be clear one machine 6 seats 6 desktops [01:36] I used to use Foxit on windows, but linux only has v1.1 which is quite ancient [01:36] virtual machine? [01:36] Jordan_U, in my notebook (LCD + external monitor), display is :0.0 in both [01:36] Fuco: the one that comes with Ubuntu is fine :\ [01:36] Aginor: True. I may have misunderstood the question. [01:36] Jordan_U, I opened gnome-terminal in both screens and echo $DISPLAY [01:36] i would just have all separate desktops open one instance for each [01:36] rww: no, not relly :P [01:36] hi.. any fix how to force ubuntu to install MBR to the correct hdd ??? [01:37] Fuco: Works for me. If you're not going to give any actual specifications, that's the best you're going to get :P [01:37] amosk: what do you mean by "init 5"? [01:37] pzn: kde's window manager can do it, but there should be several other window managers that support it as well. Google around ;) [01:37] not really my territory to tell you the truth [01:37] complicated [01:38] xinerama for dual monitors [01:38] ? [01:38] is there any C programming API where I could send commands like this x=findwindow(...); movewindow(x,screennumber,xcoord,ycoord); maximizewindow(x) ? [01:38] rww: well I want something like foxit obviously ;D [01:38] Any help with wireless would be awesome. http://paste.ubuntu.com/558785/ [01:38] Fuco: epdf, xpdf [01:38] * rww shrugs, tabs [01:38] adobe reader, okular, etc [01:38] pzn: xlib [01:38] i just installed 10.10 on my comp..i have two hdds..i put it on sda (c:\) but my sdb (d:\) seems "split" in half.. any ideas [01:39] vectory depends on what you want [01:39] pzn: you would in effect be writing your own window manager if you do it on that level though [01:39] pzn: http://incise.org/tinywm.html [01:39] Can someone tell me what does amosk means by "init 5"? [01:39] i have separate desktops cause one screen is a 20 inch lg the other is a 47 inch sony projection [01:39] !runlevels [01:39] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [01:39] Zwei, ^ [01:39] so spanning both is unusable [01:40] but for two identical monitors xinerama may be for you but compiz is then out of the question some say [01:41] or you could go twinview [01:41] if its one card [01:41] bazhang: I don't understand that. What does it mean by runlevels? [01:41] Sorry, I've not used to linux. [01:41] anyway, teatime for me [01:41] Aginor, really nice URL! I don't intent to write a window manager. just intend to write a program that will exec 6xmplayer and put each of them in the right window maximized. anyway, tyniwm sources will help a lot! [01:42] so im having an odd issue, i type in dvorak and my fiance types in qwerty, if she starts chromium with qwerty set and tries to set up a card on walmart.com it will only type in dvorak. any thoughts?

[01:45] joeoshawa: chromium switches fine and she can go to sites and search and stuff in qwerty but when she tries to design a card on walmarts site (flash?) its locked on dvorak regardless of system setting [01:45] Zwei: show/sets [01:45] rumpe1: hmm i'll try [01:46] what release name is ubuntu 10.10 ?

[01:49] rumpe1: ah ha, on the same flash object in firefox it not only detects her qwerty but i can switch between the two layouts w/o issue. so must be something with chromium?

[01:50] snypzz, provide some details then [01:50] i have used all manner of muti head displays [01:50] edwardteach: it doesnt detect a network, either option. I don't know if its a driver issue or what, so I listed every possible terminal list i could in case someone could tell me. [01:50] Noeltorious: theres a panel widget to change keyboard layout which gets saved on a per app basis [01:50] elo [01:50] rumpe1: i'll use ff, thanks, forget i had it (i usually uninstall that) wonder how i can go about reporting this as a bug [01:51] Noeltorious, maybe its stored for some reason in a cookie... really don't know... perhaps you can move the chromium-settings (.chromium?) and try the same with a default-config...

[02:00] torsion, with ogmrip you can simply copy, rip to various formats, the list is quite long. I'd suggest you go with --install-recommends if you choose to install it [02:00] scarlson it has before [02:00] another format may give you a much better image [02:00] Noeltorious: utube is available via html5 [02:00] mrBear: has it ever booted on this system?

[02:20] torsion, an issue with the css it seems (libdvdread) [02:21] Descriptioned: it was removed from the menu in 10.10 you can get there through software center's settings === King_Cat is now known as Lenin_Cat [02:21] Descriptioned, i'm on 10.04LTS so I can't tell you exactly where Software Sources is in U.S.C. but I know it's in there somewhere [02:21] bazhang, I did apt-get install libdvdread4 and it's there [02:21] torsion, and libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org ? [02:21] maco: how? [02:21] torsion, after install libdvdread4 did you run the required script? [02:22] how do I run programs on startup? [02:22] chovynz, put them in startup applications [02:22] in command line sorry for nto saying first off. [02:22] Descriptioned: wherever you configure updates in there [02:22] chovynz, for programs to start at login System / Perferences / Startup Applications [02:22] *not [02:23] chovynz: system -> prefrences -> session [02:23] they sucks on 10.10 version hope will change that.. [02:23] zykotick9, required script? What's that? (n00b alert!) [02:23] ZykoticK9: it got renamed? [02:23] maco, sorry - my bad. [02:23] torsion, sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [02:23] Nautilus -- is there a way to save columne widths from session to session or must they be manually reset each time the program is launched? [02:23] Descriptioned: the update manager and software center settings both go to the same place. having a third place was deemed unnecessary [02:23] bazhang, ZykoticK9, maco : How do I do teh same for command line startup? [02:23] Tried ogmrip with "just copy" setting, made big .mkv file; looks better, but still a bit grainy? [02:23] Descriptioned: you could just hit alt+f2 and run software-properties-gtk [02:24] what other shells are there than bash in ubuntu? [02:24] hi all, I have a quick question, I'm using jack for routing my guitar from my gt-10 into my computer then back out to my headphones, and I was wondering, how would I be able to get programs like Rhythmbox to playback while I have jack running and my guitar routed through jack as well? [02:25] bazhang, libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in /build/buildd/libdvdread-4.1.3/src/ifo_read.c:1168 [02:26] smallfoot-: well, /bin/sh goes to dash... you can also install rsh (restricted shell), ksh, mksh, zsh, csh... [02:26] Any suggestions on what to do about these messages after upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10? http://pastie.org/1501142 [02:26] maco, oh was that a question? In 10.04 i have System / Preferences / Startup Applications -- not sure if it's different in 10.10 (don't remember) [02:26] ZykoticK9: it is.. [02:26] ZykoticK9: it used to be Sessions and then there was a "Startup" tab [02:26] smallfoot-: ..., fish, tcsh, probably even more. I like zsh... [02:26] ZykoticK9: but i havent used gnome since 8.04 [02:26] ZykoticK9: same in 10.10 [02:26] chovynz: there are many whys my method is us crontab -e with a line @reboot /home/user/yourprogramtorun [02:26] ZykoticK9: i was have 10.04 lts before 2days and i think 10.04 is better than 10.10 im noob i dont know but i see that it is. [02:27] maco, ya - you'r a big KDE use i know ;) [02:27] s/use/user [02:27] sacarlson: Ah... I want the programsto run before user login. [02:27] ZykoticK9: it got de-uglied! [02:27] chovynz: that's what this does [02:27] maco, "de-uglied" great word :) [02:28] sacarlson: So when it says /home/ a doesn't actually have to log in first? [02:28] chovynz: as noted by the @reboot it will run the program when the sytem boots [02:29] sacarlson: Am I putting a variable () where there is none? [02:29] chovynz: no it doesn't but it does have to exist [02:29] chovynz: maybe if you have encrypted homes... [02:29] sacarlson: oh ok. thanks. You too jrib.

[02:34] I coI come from China, some people like me it? [02:34] bazhang: do you know how to fix it? [02:34] ken support for Ubuntu in chinese is in #ubuntu-cn , just so you know [02:35] Well here? Global port? [02:35] ken: they are all global this one is the english global [02:37] bazhang: a - not sure how; b - has worked before [02:37] thanks very much [02:37] sacarlson: So, even though I'm editing crontab for my username, this (as you indicated up there) will work before I login because of @reboot? [02:37] If I use ubuntu 64bit, does that mean all the software avialable in the repos are also 64bit? [02:37] ZenGuy: mostly, yes [02:38] jetsaredim, normally alt f2 metacity --replace will do [02:38] chovynz: yup, if you need to do sudo stuf then you might want to login or sudo -s to modify the root account crontab === danny_ is now known as mbvpixies78 [02:38] jrib: mostly? so it's a mix of 32bit and 64bit in the repos then? [02:39] ZenGuy: no, there are a handful of things that are 32bit (I can think of flash and the ia32-* stuff I guess is too) [02:39] sacarlson: I'm modifying something on my server. Is this the better way to do it? [02:39] ZenAdm1n: the few apps that aren't 64bit will use ia32libs to make them work [02:39] sacarlson: I guess I should just try it :) [02:39] jrib: besides accessing more ram, what are the end user benifits to using 64 bit? [02:39] jrib, ZenAdm1n flash is the only example I can think of that is 32bit on 64bit systems (from default repo) [02:39] hi all. chrome won't stop asking if i would like to make it the default browser. i've said yes in gnome-default-application-properties and with update-alternatives...any clues as to how to make chrome know it's the system default? [02:40] I was going to wait another year and a half before I decided to switch to 64bit completely [02:40] What is this thing with Ubuntu 10.04 and Plymouth? I am trying to get a new theme but I am extremely lost on how to install it [02:40] ZenGuy: there's a speed increase for "certain things", check out the wikipedia article, it's likely to be less vague than me :) [02:40] chovynz: well what every your server user runs under the one that runs the program to modify any files in it must be at least in the group of the servers user [02:40] ZenGuy: I've been using 64bit for years, no problems [02:40] jrib: ok [02:41] sacarlson: I got lost on server user :) I'm going to try what you said and see what happens. [02:41] DrGrov, what theme? The Ubuntu Earth Sunrise comes as a DEB and is pretty awesome http://www.webupd8.org/2011/01/earth-sunrise-is-gorgeous-plymouth.html [02:41] how can i insert a new line into a file after line X using command line? [02:41] I need some help using the ubuntu forums, is this the right place to ask? [02:41] ZykoticK9: Thank you. I am trying to get it now then :) How do I install it then? [02:41] hunterkasy: that would be #ubuntuforums [02:42] DrGrov, just double click the deb or install it from command line [02:42] ubuntu 10.10 looking for help to get displaylink working, currently have 2 green screens. using displaylink on acer8940G I7 laptop, USB Graphic Adapter Displaylink DL-165 chipset... [02:42] chovynz: if you mean server as apache2 then the user that runs that is www-data so your user would require being in that group with priv to read and write files [02:42] inktri: you could use sed for example [02:42] 中文地址是？ [02:42] is ubuntu going to switch to libreoffice? [02:43] test34, i think so for 11.04 perhaps? I'm not sure on that though. [02:43] ZykoticK9: Ok, does it matter if I use the proprietary nVidia drivers?

Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [02:44] I broke my package manager!!! [02:44] DrGrov: not with the Ubuntu packaging, no [02:44] ZykoticK9: How do I use that script then? [02:44] my bad wrong room [02:44] Hi All [02:44] DrGrov, see http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html [02:44] rww: Ok. So I need to continue with OpenOffice until Ubuntu gets into 11.04 [02:44] DrGrov, Yeah I wil lstick with 10.04 until 12.04 LTS [02:45] DrGrov, i use the LibreOffice PPA right now on 10.04 [02:45] Can someone please help? I have an issue with a newly installed laptop: It seems that the X server is completely messed up. I have an ATI Radeon 1200 graphics card [02:45] ZykoticK9: Nah, that is too painful to change the plymouth theme [02:45] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [02:45] jastiv: how did you do that? did you modify /etc/apt/source.list or something? [02:45] Do I need to install some proprietary driver? [02:45] DrGrov, then just leave it then??? [02:46] I don't know how I did it [02:46] I can only log in in recovery mode [02:46] ZykoticK9: Yes, I will leave it [02:46] I do know I tried to install imlib [02:46] does command line search search for or does it do something else? [02:46] how can i remove a PAN between my notebook and my desktop that was added to network-manager when i paired both computers? [02:46] from source [02:46] I do not have the time to fix around if it starts to get wrong [02:46] Anybody has an idea what is going on? [02:46] Have too much study related stuff going on so I do need the computer up to date :) [02:46] The keyboard also makes a tak tak tak sound with every key stroke [02:47] it is extremely annoying [02:47] Anything I could use as more eyecandy for GNOME on Ubuntu 10.04? [02:47] How can I find a program that I'm trying to run, via the command line? e.g. mediatombe, would I type search mediatomb? [02:47] I have compiz working as I want but is there something else to work with? [02:47] which app can I use to play a flash(swf) file from command line? [02:47] now everytime I try to install a package I get this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [02:47] chovynz, "apt-cache search foo" [02:47] Can someone please help? [02:47] DrGrov: you could toss in some conky scripts/displays for more cruft to look at. :) [02:47] but it doesnt' correct the problem [02:47] which mediatomb chovynz [02:47] jastiv: try what it says and pastebin the result (and what you ran) [02:47] ZykoticK9: doesn't that search teh web? [02:48] chovynz, that searchs the package list [02:48] chovynz, oh sorry i thought you meant "search to install something" my bad [02:48] jastiv: so did you try follow the instructions sudo dpkg --configure -a? [02:48] owner: clarify the issue on one single line. also sate the video card you are using. Your issue is a bit hard to follow when you spread it out. [02:48] Dr_Willis: Hello. Perhaps yes, Conky though was giving me a hard time last I used it on my old hardware. Did not go as planned so it ended with me removing conky :D [02:48] chovynz, "which foo" to find a path for an executable [02:48] DrGrov: you can spend weeks playing with conky configs. [02:48] Dr_Willis: How do I find what graphics card I have? [02:49] bazhang: yeah, that's what I thought. how do I search on my computer for the location of the program? So, ZykoticK9 I would say in terminal "which mediatomb" ? [02:49] owner, lspci in terminal [02:49] owner, "lspci | grep -i vga" [02:49] chovynz, yes [02:49] owner: lspci for starters. check stickers on the pc perhaps. [02:49] weird. Why "which"? that doesnt make any sense that I know of yet. [02:49] Dr_Willis: Yes, that was my issue actually... I have a disorder that I need to use eyecandy. Customizing my mobile phone, desktop wallpapers at least 3-4 per day etc etc. [02:49] chovynz: whereis [02:49] I'm having an odd problem with fonts. Specifically, I have a font that seems to work fine when passed to xterm through .icemw's toolbar/menu but fails to work if I try to pass it through either icewm's runbar or a terminal. [02:49] DrGrov: i suggest getting over it... :) [02:50] chovynz, if you have more then one binary with the same name - it will point you to the one that will actually be running [02:50] Dr_Willis: But I would love something easy to get so I can perhaps finally settle down with the customizations. [02:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/558818/ [02:50] DrGrov: theres a web artical or 2 out i saw last week on '5 great conky setups' [02:50] Dr_Willis: Trust me on that, I have tried but the dark side is pulling me back in LOL [02:50] chovynz: the prog u look for might need to be in the searchpath tho [02:50] ZykoticK9: Ahhhh, that makes sense. Thanks vectory_ [02:50] DrGrov: i think i bookmarked it on my delicious.com/dr_willis page. [02:50] I know now what graphics card I have: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [02:51] ur fucked [02:51] Dr_Willis: I am checking now [02:51] ati drivers for linux are bad [02:51] Why is my X server so messed up? [02:51] vectory_, watch the language [02:51] Now I gotta ask [02:51] vectory: et decent ATI drivers then? [02:52] Ah bazhang, the sheriff remarking the language. I almost though that would slide since my swearing never slided through LOL [02:52] soz, dunno but people keep tellin me that [02:52] How do I find decent ATI drivers? Anybody has had similar issues? [02:52] so, i just quoted ;) [02:52] oh blast. I activated mediatomb by accident. I'm guessing that /usr/bin/mediatomb would be what I need to "run" in crontab? sacarlson [02:52] owner, alt f2 jockey-gtk [02:52] owner: I would think at worst case you could run in vga mode some how [02:52] I just found out that the "tak tak" sound is from the keyboard being in insert mode [02:52] Dr_Willis: The problem I have is that it is a bit difficult for me to know if my CPU will give out the information. [02:53] The strange thing is that the resolution seems absolutely normal in recovery mode [02:53] owner, ah yes... a nice relief when that is figured out :) [02:53] Dr_Willis: I am not sure, temperature definitely not. It is a HP xw9300 Workstation. [02:53] Currently I'm dual booting ubuntu 10.10 (recently upgraded from 9.10) and now I'm out of space... how do I resize my partitions to make my windows one smaller and my ubuntu one bigger SAFELY [02:53] but I can't log in in normal mode [02:53] I broke dpkg!!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/558818/ [02:54] I just updated everything, hoping to have the problem disappear. It didn't work [02:54] chovynz: yes you would add a crontab line with: @reboot /usr/bin/mediatomb but what is mediatomb? is it an x application? [02:55] jastiv: do 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' [02:55] Anyone knows how I can install decent ATI driverS? [02:55] I tried that, it gave me another error. [02:55] Dr_Willis: I love that you linked to those Conky scripts :) [02:55] sacarlson: not a x app. It's a web media server app for my private server [02:55] jastiv: in your paste, you're leaving off 'sudo' [02:55] Cannot find /lib/modules/2.6.30.7-libre-fshoppe1 [02:55] owner, For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver. [02:55] Dr_Willis: The problem is still there. I am not sure I can use any of those since I really do not know how to customize them more to my liking [02:56] Does anyone know how I can save my current setup including fonts as a theme? [02:56] the default driver on my system seems to be working properly in recovery mode, but fails to run properly in normal mode [02:56] jastiv: oh I see now - you did at the end [02:56] I did sudo, its still the same :( [02:56] coz_ : My graphics card is ATI Radeon 1200 series [02:56] chovynz: if it opens listen ports in low numbers like bellow 1024 I think it would require sudo to run [02:56] do you think that driver would work for me too? [02:57] jastiv: now do 'sudo apt-get -f install' [02:57] Dr_Willis: Anything else you can suggest for eyecandy? :) [02:57] owner, then I am not sure... you may want to go to the #radeon channel [02:57] sacarlson: opens port 49152. does that by default. I'll I need to do is run it in the background (i think, that's what I'm testing anyway...) [02:57] how do i create bootable usb installer from hd-media/boot.img.gz ? [02:57] No help there. First place I went to [02:58] They suggested I come here [02:58] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [02:58] hey I am trying to modify nslookup's functionality by adding "Enter a URL" in front of it so its not just a blank cursor waiting for input [02:58] I did it and got this same thing [02:58] I put echo "please enter URL" >> nslookup; but that does not work [02:58] chovynz: then I don't think sudo is needed it should run under your normal user that has internet access [02:59] sacarlson: Now, I have a question RE: crontab. Why is it trying to save the crontab file to /tmp/crontab.jLcQyb/crontab? (I'm logged in remotely) [02:59] gunndawg, your echo command says to append that output to a file called nslookup - doubt that's what you want. [02:59] help [02:59] Ubuntu I do not read the cd / dvd [02:59] chovynz: I think it first tests the file syntax then if it's ok it puts the crontab into action [02:59] Zykotick9 doh! guess I need to learn shell syntax better, lol [03:00] zykotick9, any way to do what I am trying to do then ? [03:00] gunndawg, use "read" [03:00] sacarlson: will that crontab exists after I reboot? Guess it's a good time to try it :) [03:00] rumpel, example please [03:00] gunndawg, perhaps "echo "Please enter a URL" && nslookup" would work (untested) [03:00] Anybody can help with a messed up xorg for an AMD with ATI x1200 graphics card? [03:01] chovynz: if you used crontab -e to edit it and it checks ok at save then yet it is saved, will it run is another story [03:01] owner, did you try the #radeon channel :) [03:01] jastiv: what is "libre-fshoppe1"? do you know? and what was apt/dpkg doing when it was interrupted? [03:01] coz_ : yes, they recommended I come here [03:02] owner, oh :) [03:02] rumpel, any suggestion ? [03:02] woot. [03:02] chovynz: you sure the problem didn't already auto start at boot? you should have checked /etc/init.d to see if any media* existed already [03:02] I think I broke it then did not realise it was broke till I tried to install something else [03:03] So I'm not sure what did it exactly [03:03] gunndawg, i just tried it, i believe it's what you're looking for: echo "Please enter a URL" && nslookup [03:03] chovynz: sorry not problem program [03:03] gunndawg, http://linux.die.net/man/1/read [03:03] connect irc.quakenet.com [03:03] sacarlson: Yesterday I got mediatomb running manually. Today I acciendtly shut off the server and media tomb was not active. So I figure that it would be best to make it run auto, incase teh server ever needs to reboot [03:03] zykotick9 but it puts the users input on a 2nd line, [03:03] wtf.. module loop not found... [03:04] jastiv: you can probably do 'tail /var/log/dpkg.log' to see what the last few packages were [03:04] chovynz: ok [03:04] I guess ubuntu is not ready for some laptops [03:04] gunndawg, ya, i think you'd need to re-write nslookup if you wanted something different. Best of luck man. [03:04] So much for "switch to Linux, it's better than Windows" [03:04] Zykotick9 I dont think you fully understand what I am after, but thanks for the help! [03:04] haha. it didn't run [03:05] owner, "switch to linux, it's better... so long as you don't have ATI" more like it ;) [03:05] chovynz: bummer [03:06] chovynz: and you can run it with the same command line you put in crontab? [03:06] Mmm. I'm out of time. I'll have to come back to this at a later stage. Thanks for your help sacarlson ZykoticK9 bazhang [03:07] sacarlson, just want to point out that just because a script/command runs successfully from command line does NOT guarantee it will run successfully from crontab - BUT if it doesn't run from command line it won't run from crontab :) [03:09] chovynz: it could be it tries to do something to soon at boot or something totaly different, might need to make a script that adds a sleep 30 or some time for system to be stable, yes true ZykoticK9 [03:10] xubuntu keeps reloading things i had open before [03:10] how can i stop saving state === godmode is now known as Guest44407 [03:11] christo_m, IF you don't get an answer here, you might want to ask in the #xubuntu channel. Good luck - i don't use xubuntu myself. [03:12] ZykoticK9: thanks bro [03:12] When I type in my FQDN for my Ubuntu server, I get "It works!" but when I append "/index.html" I get the actual index page I set up. What am I missing here? [03:12] how can i set up my monitor on the thinkpad with a newly installed version of ubuntu, it's an x301 [03:13] jethrot: you mean dual, or switch [03:13] Fn + F7 will do it [03:13] does ubuntu not have metasploit in its repos? [03:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/558830/ [03:13] Is emulator ROM's free these days for most of the consoles? [03:13] laptop [03:14] it only does 800x6000 [03:14] DrGrov: technically yes [03:14] er 600 [03:14] hey guys, ubuntu 10.10 is better than previous version? [03:14] but you're supposed to have a hardcopy of the game [03:14] danub, "apt-cache search metasploit" returns w3af and a w3af-console -- i have no idea what any of these 3 things are. good luck. [03:14] y want to try it but would be good some reference [03:14] mbvpixies78: my guess is it's the cache in your browser try close and reopen it or maybe just reload [03:14] christo_m: Anything you could suggest? What would be a good platform to play on? [03:14] christo_m: I have played all the genesis games already before [03:14] its any program or how i can put my own ubuntu Button? [03:15] drakeman: it looks better [03:15] christo_m: I was really hoping to get NeoGeo working [03:15] mbvpixies78: or do you run a proxy? [03:15] i like the splash screen ^_^ [03:15] ZykoticK9: yeah those are for testing web applications. they aren't used for testing system strength [03:15] drakeman, that's a very subjective question - i did run 10.10 (better/newer Nvidia driver) but returned to 10.04 [03:15] DrGrov what are you lookin for? [03:15] sacarlson: relead worked! thanks.. swore it didn't last time [03:15] KM0201: someone get KM0201 for me [03:15] Hey I have a problem I cannot get GTKpod working with my IPod touch 4G IOS 4.2.1 8GB model./ [03:15] dascapital: lol.. [03:16] DrGrov: im not sure, i dont know about the emulator scene on linux [03:16] ZykoticK9 you think 10.04 its better than the new version? [03:16] DaGeek247: I am looking for a working NeoGeo emulator and some ROM's I am sure I can find. Mostly to get the NeoGeo emulator working properly. I would love some Super Sidekicks 2, 3 and 4 again [03:16] I have all my LIbImobile stuff upgraded Ubuntu Mounts my IPod but, I can't sync to it. [03:16] sacarlson: I'd like to set up a proxy-- for that would I just have the router forward from the proxy to the server? [03:16] *#poopadoop [03:16] Also, I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 [03:16] christo_m: Ok, no worries. Thanks though for helping :) [03:16] drakeman, it's personal preference more then anything. [03:17] wrong channel, oops [03:17] its any program or how i can put my own ubuntu Button icon...? [03:17] drakeman, for me it's the LTS that I really like. [03:17] drakeman, 10.10 fixed a few annoying issues for me, but introduced a gew new ones also [03:17] ave downloaded this log in theme from Gnome wit a .tar extension how do i install it it [03:17] and i always like getting the new version [03:17] Anybody? [03:17] ZykoticK9 the nex lts would be 11.04? [03:17] mbvpixies78: I'm not sure what do you need the proxy for? in this case I asked since the proxy will provide you the same page if it's not expired yet [03:17] drakeman, no - 12.04 i think [03:17] noobuntu any notable bug ¡? [03:17] DaGeek247: You got any suggestions for the NeoGeo emulator stuff? [03:17] ZykoticK9 thanks [03:18] * philip_ sighs. [03:18] ave downloaded this log in theme from Gnome wit a .tar extension how do i install it it [03:18] ZykoticK9 actually im using rhel and centos, or fedora, would be good an dpkg distro _:D [03:18] any one [03:18] DrGrov no, i thought you were looking for gamesc to play, sorry. [03:18] mbvpixies78: the meta in the html file will tell the proxy or browser that the file is expired and will reload it [03:18] DaGeek247: What kind of games did you mean? [03:18] sacarlson: I'm just brushing up on my networking on my own (in school for security and programming) and trying to find projects and other things to learn from [03:18] emo, GDM themes from old versions will NOT work with the new GDM - you have very few options for current GDM themes. [03:19] sacarlson: ok, good to know thanks [03:19] Not anyone here is using a NeoGeo emulator on Ubuntu? Please do tell me in case you are using such. I would love to get my hands on the old cool NeoGeo again. [03:19] whea can i get the new themes that will work?// [03:19] Anybody has anything that will help? [03:20] /join #flossk [03:20] asdasags sorry [03:20] DrGrov games for ubuntu in general. like halo 1 for windows. [03:20] http://www.1stheadlines.com/health.htm [03:20] no one knows how to stop ubuntu from saving state [03:20] something in power management maybe? [03:20] emo : what ubuntu version? [03:21] DaGeek247: I would love to get Return to Castle Wolfenstein to work through Wine. I have had immense issues with it. [03:21] 10.4 [03:21] hello. i just installed 10.10 desktop. every now and then, under my cursor, this animated bullseye thing comes up. what is that? my searches yielded no answers... [03:21] DrGrov I dont really mean like that, i meant native for ubuntu. :/ [03:22] DaGeek247: Ah ok [03:22] DaGeek247: I actually am going to try Penumbra [03:22] emo were did the themes coome from? [03:22] i got it from the gnome website [03:22] never heard of it, but i have been looking for native games for ubuntu. [03:22] art.gnome .org [03:23] *DrGrov [03:23] hello does anyone know howto love a track to last.fm ( add to favorites ) with decibel audio player? [03:23] jastiv: is this a custom kernel? where did you get it?

(that i know of.) i looked into it myself. [03:24] emo, short answer is "you can't". Ubuntu Tweak lets you use a couple, Mint's for example. [03:24] DrGrov: he should be able to go to he site and download the packages and then once they are on his desktop just open the themes window and drag and drop though still right?

I'd like to know what parts of the boot take what amount of time, and look for things to trim that I don't use. Any advice would be appreciated, thx.

[03:27] changing the login screen is easy if you know how [03:27] joeoshawa: Uplink the game is dependent on some old libs that can not be installed properly on Ubuntu 10.04 [03:27] DaGeek247, he's referring to uplink, an old game where you play a hacker. Entirely fictitious, though quite fun [03:27] thankx [03:28] how can i remove a PAN between my notebook and my desktop that was added to network-manager when i paired both computers?

[03:30] gunndawg, version numbers are the date, and a new version comes out every 6 months === chris_osx_ is now known as chris_osx [03:31] Is it about safe to update to 10.10 already from 10.04? Can I update within 10.04 -> 10.10? [03:31] ah ok [03:31] plilip_ its new. === chris_osx is now known as chris_bsd [03:31] yeats: i want to open a port on my wifi connection so that other can connect to my server thought ssh [03:31] i have a external server to use as a tunnel/sock/proxy [03:31] !11.04 | philip_ gunndawg [03:31] philip_ gunndawg: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems.

[03:32] or you can check the ip of your gateway by typing ifconfig in console === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [03:32] dereckk: that's actually beyond me, sorry ;-) [03:32] christo_m: yes but with one goes first in the ssh syntax [03:32] I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on a7 yr old desktop :) [03:33] DaGeek247: It ruined your OS? What did you actually do? [03:34] Well, time to run out before I miss the appointment with Dr. House [03:34] christo_m: like it's ssh -D port:routerIP:port to open user@tunnelserver ? [03:34] Can't afford to miss it [03:34] where do i go to change the ctrl+shift+c to do a copy? i want to change that to just ctrl+c [03:34] dereckk: woah.. [03:34] what was that command to see a list of dependencies for a program? [03:35] danub: it is ctrl c to copy [03:35] dereckk: reverse ssh tunnel? [03:35] danub, ctrl+shift+c generally is copy from a terminal window not from the main system [03:35] coz_: joeoshawa is there a way to make it that way in the terminal also? [03:35] i installed 10.10 from 10.04, and 10.10 failed me. (would not boot) and since i upgraded my current os i had to reformat and install 10.04 again, and lose what little data i had. [03:35] danub: yes to open a port on my wifi connection that has all ports closed normally [03:35] lol im a dumbass, ignore me ;) [03:35] gmail: slow for all, or just me [03:36] hi, any chance someone can help me convert this streaming .mov file into an offline version? My attempts at using mplayer with -dumpstream don't go very far :( (link: http://hstreaming.zdf.de/3sat/veryhigh/110126_wa_das_tier_in_dir_ard.mov) === folklore2 is now known as folklore [03:36] danub: there probably is i just never had a reason to that is probably that way to avoid a conflict [03:37] 10.0 has had various problems, and in general is not the best ubuntu os. [03:37] sexcopter, that appears to be a text file... it will not download an actual video [03:37] christo_m: i mixup the ssh command, which port and ip goes first ? the server tunnel one or my wifi router's ip ? [03:37] there is no 10.0 you mean 10.10? [03:37] yea [03:38] coz_, I believe it has an rtsp address inside, so starts a stream going [03:38] yeah i have had problems as well i have just been able to fix them or they got fixed in an update [03:38] sexcopter, ah ok I didnt check it out [03:38] could anyone help me figure what drive my ipod is when it's connected? [03:38] (and i tried using the rtsp link as well with mplayer) [03:39] but 10.10 also fixed some problems for some people [03:39] put 10.04 on a dell 2400 [03:39] it will bork [03:39] i never relly got to mess with 10.10 [03:39] I'm trying to rename it using mtools... [03:39] I have Ubuntu on a AMD Sempron 3000+ 1.8GHZ 1GB ram 160GB hard-drive nvidia geforce FX 5200256mb agp8x [03:39] 10.10 [03:40] his has turned offtopic. :p [03:41] so that is were we should go. === peregrinator_six is now known as death_note [03:42] Pemalites: when you pug it in, it should put an icon on your desktop yes? [03:42] say folks, what would cause vlc or totem to occasionally NOT play part of an audio track on a dvd...for instance, i can hear music and background noises (rain, wind) but NO vocals... yet the dvd plays fine in another system... thoughts?? [03:42] amd athlon 2.7 ghz dual core 4gb ddr2 ram 1tb hdd nvidia 8400 gs 512mb ddr2 [03:43] cryptodira: maybe you are missing some codecs? :: shrugs :: dont quote me though because audio isn't my bag [03:43] i know the vid card sucks [03:43] yes [03:43] incidentally its fanless [03:44] Pemalites: now that it has an icon on your desktop, go to system->administration->disk utility [03:44] it will list it under there with any relavent info you will need [03:44] if i can work out a new one with say 512 ddr4 thats a little newer i will give it to my mother [03:44] ahhh [03:45] figure it out Pemalites ? [03:46] i got my gcard for five $ and its got 256mb ram [03:46] sorry gddr5 [03:46] not quite, the instructions for this mtool thing required that I add in a line to the mtools.conf [03:46] something written like drive: d file= /dev/sdb3/ [03:46] cryptodira, sounds like you have some sort of surround sound (5.1) setup and are getting the back channels only - see if there is some option for 2 channel somewhere. Sorry I don't user VLC or Totem so can't guide you. [03:47] Hi. My wireless connection is working fine, but my wired connection is not. "eth0" isn't even listed when I type ifconfig into the Terminal. Why did this happen and how do I get it to detect wired connections again? [03:47] danub, i do not think so... as other dvd's play just fine all the way through....it is certainly perplexing... where there are multiple audio tracks, i can hear the french ... spanish... just fine.... on these dvd's in question, i can hear the audio track with commentary, but not without. === death_note is now known as peregrinator_six [03:47] ZykoticK9 what do you use? [03:47] ZykoticK9, good thought, i will check that out. [03:47] DaGeek247, mplayer-nogui NOT for everyone ;) [03:47] cryptodira: does it play fine in a dvd player? [03:48] Pemalites: so locate the fine in question, open it, add that line and save the file? [03:48] danub, yes, in a dvd player and on a mac g5.... [03:48] hmm, that is odd [03:49] hey guys. got a 10.10 ubuntu machine having a problem with gdm [03:49] try a different dvd application and see if that one does it too [03:49] was working fine for several weeks [03:49] slestak: ask your question [03:49] ZykoticK9, looking at sound preferences, i have internal audio analog surround 4.0 [03:50] the /dev/sdb3/ information was in the disk utility however i'm not sure which partition to add it under in the mtools.conf or what letter the drive is. the ipod wouldn't be it's own partition would it? [03:50] if someone knows the answer they will pipe in and help out [03:50] I am looking at it now, and the right side of the screen is black, except for a cursor centered [03:50] cryptodira, so try turning surround off [03:50] danub: trying to phrase it correctly [03:50] the left side looks perfect. [03:50] after logging in, the whole lcd is used and no problem can be noted [03:51] so just when its booting its messed up? [03:51] another strange thing is the keyboard takes explicit hard slow presses to type in the username, password, and Enter to login [03:51] Wanting to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 ..... shrinked the partition on windows 7 (was a HP laptop so it had like 4 partitions) Ubuntu was being a pain still... then gpart decided to crash every time i ran it.... and now my windows 7 got corrupted ... is there a easy picture tutorial thats UPDATED ._. [03:51] ZykoticK9, i thought of that.... but do not see where to do that... in sound prefs i only have surround 4 and a radeon output for hdmi [03:51] again, after in gnome, the keyboard works with typical amount of pressure needed to register a keypress [03:52] I noticed the LCD tv I'm currently using as a screen shows some distorted/dead rows of pixels at the bottom when running Ubuntu, I'm over 100% sure those weren't there when I ran WinXP, any idea where does might've came from? [03:52] Hi. My wireless connection is working fine, but my wired connection is not. "eth0" isn't even listed when I type ifconfig into the Terminal. Why did this happen and how do I get it to detect wired connections again? [03:52] danub: not really on boot, seems to just be gdm [03:52] Pemalites: i dont have an ipod to connect so im just gonna rough it here, but in the disk utility, in the bottom section under volumes, how many are there for that ipod? [03:53] Snakkah make a new eth0 connection. [03:53] slestak: but when you log in it is fine? just the splash screen is messed up? [03:53] cryptodira, are there any sound options in vlc or totem that allow you to select 2 channel? [03:53] danub: thinking about modifying the upstart rule to make gdm not start to get to a console? [03:53] after logging in, there is nothing wrong at all [03:54] this is a dell mini9 with intel video chipset [03:54] anyone know a guide to my problem above? [03:54] i have been using this machine for prob 1.5 to 2 years (since they came out) [03:54] with ubuntu [03:54] Balmung how important is wi dows to you? [03:54] slestak: gdm doesn't have to start to get a console, you can just hit ctrl+f1. not sure why it would just all of a sudden mess up the splash screen and then apply the correct settings after loading [03:54] mmm under host adaptor theres the hard disk and cd drive :/ and then under peripheral devices theres just the ipod [03:55] i think that was the correct thing to say? [03:55] I need it , I am currently booted on a live ubuntu cd backing up my files. [03:55] because windows will not run [03:55] ZykoticK9, not in totem... vlc shows me the other audio channels... (other languages, commentary) but nothing else. [03:55] danub: i know. i have been around linux for years, and this is a strange one. checking logs and dont see anything really pertinenent [03:55] unless you meanth space.... in the ipod which is listed as 30gb [03:55] meant* [03:56] Balmung k. whats problm with windows? [03:56] this is my daughers machine now, and she did fill up the ssd not long ago. I have since cleared space, but i wonder id sth got corrupted [03:56] thank you for trying to help === matthew is now known as Guest83802 [03:56] cryptodira, sorry i don't have any other suggestions, good luck man. [03:56] DaGeek247, did that. The Network Manager just won't detect wired connections at all. [03:56] I'm on a laptop by the way. === Guest83802 is now known as mtt [03:56] slestak: its possible. maybe there was a gdm update that got cutoff because the disk was full? [03:56] ZykoticK9, np, was a long shot... these intemittent situations are sometimes tricky... Thanks. [03:56] Snakkah does it matter? Wireless is working fine isn't it? [03:57] Pemalites: on the left, you have your storage devices, click on the ipod, then the right side will populate with data [03:57] danub, thanks for your suggestions. [03:57] DaGeek247 well I think i corrupted it honestly so I am getting my flies off and sending a nuke to it. After which I WILL install windows 7 and Ubuntu of which I want to be prompted which i want to use when I start up my laptop [03:57] Snakkah what do you mean wont detect? [03:57] anohter note is when i boot to a live usb, it does not show the problem, so it is def the package on that install [03:57] files* [03:57] slestak: you can try to do the dpkg --reconfigure thing and see if that fixes it? [03:57] i dont think the install would let me do a --purge on gdm, it would prob nork everything [03:58] let me try to log in, its being a little tempermental [03:58] DaGeek247 My problem is .. all the "tutorials" are like way confusing or non updated (which most arent and makes them confusing) [03:58] Snakkah does it matter if wireless is working? [03:58] Balmung by default, if you install windows then ubuntu, you will be given a choice which one to boot. [03:58] Pemalites: once it populates with data, you will see volumes in the right section, about halfway down. clicking on different sections will tell you the volume [03:59] hello. can you tell me what package is responsible for the display of the ubuntu logo on startup? [03:59] Pemalites: so if there are 2 partitions and your drive is /dev/sdc, you will have sdc1 and sdc2 [03:59] Balmung if you just want to explore ubuntu, try using vmare or soething. [03:59] aprilhare, Plymouth [03:59] Pemalites: see which has the music on it, and go with that partition [03:59] DaGeek247 well thats good to know but my problem is The hp laptop i have apparently used all the "primary partitions" it could so I had to delete one of them (which was named HP tools , which was useless) and it still wouldn't let me install ubuntu ... so Yeah.. I need a hp windows 7 tutorial [03:59] Need it for a class so i have to have it [03:59] ZykoticK9, ty i'll try reinstalling that. it's not working and looks messy and tacky [03:59] danub: im having difficulty even loggin now. [04:00] okay I'm going to try adding it in using that logic [04:00] aprilhare, if you're using a proprietary nvidia/ati driver - that's "normal" lol [04:00] slestak: change to a different screen (f2 maybe), log in that way [04:00] omg updates ubuntu i have had three this week [04:00] good thought [04:00] ZykoticK9, hmmmm ic. i need nvidia driver === chris_ is now known as Chr|s [04:01] aprilhare, here is a non-trivial script that can "fix" it http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/script-to-fix-ubuntu-plymouth-for.html [04:02] ty [04:02] aprilhare you can use an open source driver but some features don't work like 3d etc === danny__ is now known as mbvpixies78 [04:02] Balmung o when windows data is backed up, you are just gonna refomat everythingand ut windows back on? [04:02] *put [04:02] I have 2 computers freezing after "DMI update... GRUB" Anyone know what I can do? They won't start from CD or flash drive [04:03] danub: im lock out of this thing now. i need to get to the grub menu [04:03] hey guys I use Thunderbird mostly for email, how do I remove evolution and use Thunderbird in the indicator applet instead? Ive done it before, but can't remember [04:03] slestak: you cant log in on any of the f* screens? === sledge is now known as Ghostcustom24 [04:03] sudo apt-get purge thunderbird [04:03] hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers [04:03] nope [04:04] anyone got an idea why? [04:04] got any spare terminals open? [04:04] #chile [04:04] DaGeek247 yeah because its currently corrupted so might as well you know? , Know of any like EASY to follow guides. I am a computer major and such but I have only ever used Windows and never bothered trying to experiment with other OS nor messing with the setup/boot stuff [04:04] no, its been rebooted, [04:05] since its my daughters machine, i don think i have ssh server running either [04:05] why is compiz always a bug on hp machines? it will freeze from time to time [04:05] Balmung: windows 7 is different then xp, it uses a completely different boot loader. i ran into issues trying to install linux over it. you might need to just pop in your win 7 disk, restore the boot sector and then you should be able to access windows [04:06] hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers - any idea why (and yes I'm spamming this) === godmode is now known as Guest31375 [04:06] slestak: how are you connected to the machine right now? remotely or pyshically? [04:06] are you in gdm? [04:06] physically, [04:06] Balmung, partitining is not hard at all. just put gparted live onto cd, boot gparted, reformat ALL patitions to one blank one, then change the fs to ntfs. install windows, and come back here. [04:06] Hey, I have a few errors on Ubuntu Server. They read: [04:06] [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 132 [04:06] This error only shows on bootup and before the login? [04:06] im on a spare laptop [04:07] mt greate solution remove compiz use metacity it wont hurt my productivity and install awesome wm minal is the key to the fastest dev [04:07] i wonder if pam is what may be screwed [04:07] ohhh, your using a different one to talk here [04:07] danub well >.> if i really really wanted to I could just pop in my windows xp os and try using it that way but My computer was setup for windows 7 and i need to learn how to use 7 well for IT problems [04:07] danub: yes [04:07] gotcha [04:07] DaGeek247: You can actually just apt-get install gparted onto the Ubuntu live CD if you have network. It's convenient if you already have that disc handy. :) [04:07] Balmung: yeah, pop in the win 7 disk, restore boot sector, it will allow you to get back into windows [04:08] yep, im on a ... ewww. win7 machine troubleshooting ubuntu. sth is very wrong w this picture [04:08] Balmung: you can deal with the rest later when you learn your way around [04:08] Can someone explain to me why suspend/hibernate disabled my ability to connect to wired networks? That seems to be what happened according to what I've read elsewhere. [04:08] DaGeek247 so put gparted on a cd like you would put ubuntu on a live cd? [04:08] lol slestak [04:08] Balmung yes [04:08] so you cant access her laptop at all? or you have atleast 1 terminal you can use there? [04:08] i thought Esc during boot would bring up the grub menu [04:08] but that is not workign either [04:09] if i could get into busybox maybe i could fix sth [04:09] you need the 100+mb dowloaded iso of gparted [04:09] slestak: shift, not esc [04:09] i have no terminal there [04:09] let me try that [04:09] DaGeek247 OK ill look up on doing that. Danub: Hp was kind of a douche and didnt include a cd with my computer so i will have to make one i think xD. [04:09] How come my download speed under ubuntu is faster than my DOwnload speed in Windows? [04:09] you may have to drop into single user [04:09] then it wont load gdm or anything like that, you just get the console [04:10] i changed the gdm setup to not present list of users, and the "hard press" keybard issue in gdm messes up loggin in [04:10] now one of the two just started booting from a CD... but the other computer is still frozen in "GRUB" is there any reason to just let it sit like that a while? [04:10] philip_: Download speed with what? Just downloads through your web browser? [04:10] sec, rebooting mini [04:10] hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers - any idea why (and yes I'm spamming this) [04:10] Yeah. [04:10] Firefox on Ubuntu is 5x faster than Firefox on Windows [04:10] slestak: ok, you do that, im getting coffee [04:10] philip_: Likely just a coincidence. [04:10] google chrome is farster than both. [04:11] Can someone explain to me why suspend/hibernate disabled my ability to connect to wired networks? That seems to be what happened according to what I've read elsewhere. [04:11] Chrome sucks. [04:11] philip_, agreed. [04:11] i love chrome! [04:11] hi! [04:11] DaGeek247: He's talking about bandwidth, not actual speed of the browser itself. :) [04:11] meh, chrome [04:11] its perfect for me. [04:11] If you want privacy, don't use google or chrome [04:11] If chrome didn't suck then why would firefox be included as the main Browser? [04:11] lol. [04:11] i have a problem, my empathy contact list is empty [04:11] and does anyone have any suggestions for a music manager compatible with ipod other than amorak? [04:11] philip_: Actually, it's moreso because Firefox integrates better into the desktop environment. [04:11] i have so many sites that dont work with chrome [04:12] why i cant open iexplorer.exe with wine??? :S [04:12] That too. [04:12] Why use IE? [04:12] cuz it been here forever, chrome isnt open source... [04:12] Descriptioned: Try checking out winetricks. [04:12] Descriptioned: that is a feature, not a bug [04:12] IE SUCKS> [04:12] anyone reading me? [04:12] What is Wine? Still no Ubuntu. :( [04:12] in past it was running now not.. [04:12] yes [04:12] DaGeek247: It's Chromium in Linux, which is free software. [04:12] philip_, chromium is now the default in UNE - wouldn't be surprised if soon it's that for desktop as well. [04:13] I just use FF that came with the OS. [04:13] no, chrome is different from chromium. [04:13] No since installing another OS. [04:13] Browser** [04:13] ok back [04:13] DaGeek247: Is there actually a straight Chrome for Linux? [04:13] hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers - any idea why (and yes I'm spamming this) [04:13] I hit 224kb/s in updating on Ubuntu linux. [04:13] nexs yes [04:13] :( Nope [04:13] nexes, yes - get it from google [04:13] oh pema left [04:13] ok [04:14] Hey, CLI messages (from apt-get for example) are in Russian - any quick way to make them all English again? [04:14] On 1.6DSL [04:14] 1.5** [04:14] ZykoticK9: Any real difference? Chromium seems to work well enough. [04:14] nexes, use Chromium it's open source. Chrome available from http://www.google.com/chrome/ [04:14] yes, chrome is googles version. [04:14] Waht is Wine?? [04:14] what not waht. LOL! [04:15] danub: hey, got an idea [04:15] Sharpclaw: program to run windows applications under emulation [04:15] Wine makes it so that it's sortof possible to open Windows programs in Linux. [04:15] Sharclaw it runs windows exes [04:15] ZykoticK9: I have Chromium installed, although it's not my main browser. I just wasn't aware that Chrome itself was available. [04:15] i have the bysigi themes installed [04:15] Skaag: WINE = WINE Is Not an Emulator [04:15] that may be screwing things up [04:15] Richie_: right, so when it creates all those windows folders, and wraps some linux API's with Windows API's, that is not emulation? :-) [04:15] I don't care how they call it... [04:15] slestak: that is possible [04:16] Skaag: It's a Win32 API for Unix. :) [04:16] yah [04:16] Skaag: it's not emulation. Emulation is a specific method of "faking" a system [04:16] How is it possible that Ubuntu 10.10 is faster on my computer than Windows XP? [04:16] i keep getting disconnected, my ipod manager question is the last one for tonight [04:16] i have like 4 differnt browsers [04:16] richthegeek: it fakes windows for those apps [04:16] Skaag: read "specific method" [04:16] richthegeek: it even asks you, which windows version you want to fake for the apps [04:16] Skaag: a method which WINE does not use because of it's inherent problems [04:16] philip_: because windows xp is a 7 (8) year old operating system that isn't optimized for new architecture? [04:16] philip_ its better? [04:16] hi all, I'm looking for the location of "cp" === hjkl is now known as Guest1483 [04:17] yes, I'm sure I need it. [04:17] Danub my Computer came out about the time WindowsXP Home was being included. [04:17] bikcmp mmmm location? [04:17] as in /usr/bin/cd [04:17] the way I understand it, they mean not-emulation because there is no byte-code emulation happening. the code is executed as-is by the CPU. [04:17] bikcmp maybe whereis cp [04:17] bikcmp: /bin/cp [04:17] bikcmp that sould show you the path [04:17] bikcmp: which cp [04:17] err, did I say cp? [04:17] I meant cd, I'm sorry. [04:17] anyone reading me? i need help with empathy [04:18] bikcmp whereis cd [04:18] drakeman: nope :( [04:18] bikcmp: cd is generally a builtin function of your shell [04:18] JoseeAntonioR si te leimos [04:18] cd is a command [04:18] ah [04:18] built into bash? [04:18] bikcmp: yes [04:18] whats a good IDE to program in with linux ? i am so used to windows programming [04:18] necesito que me ayuden con empathy [04:18] ah! [04:18] rww: thanks! [04:18] ok, in which case, its been 8 years... things have been done to encrease efficentcy [04:18] :) [04:18] JoseeAntonioR: i read you, but i dont use empathy [04:18] gunndwag: What language? [04:18] gunndawg netbeans? [04:18] i would of been looking for hours [04:18] !ide > gunndawg [04:18] gunndawg, please see my private message [04:18] thanks! [04:18] thx [04:18] drakeman: mi lista de contactos de empathy esta vacia, a que se puede deber esto? [04:19] JoseeAntonioR, english please [04:19] anyway, how do I change the language of system messages in ubuntu? [04:19] mainly, the CLI [04:19] Skaag: you cant change the language under the system settings? [04:19] that should change the language for everything [04:20] bazhang: I talked in spanish because someone answered me in spanish. I need help with Empathy, the main window, where contacts are shown, is empty. Why? [04:20] danub: I have no access to X/Gnome, I'm logged in via SSH [04:20] JoseeAntonioR: are you logged in? [04:20] hey, my Xorg is using 50% of my CPU usually when firefox/flash or totem is involved... 3GHz processor, GeForce GTX 260, nvidia-current drivers - any idea why (and yes I'm spamming this) [04:20] danub: i was able to get in. when i was pressing shift to get into grub menu, it seemed to start gdm on the whole lcd, but the theme was missing. it was undecorated gtk and an error about the battery applet [04:20] thanks for the plymouth script link, worked a treat :) now, issue two: is the login screen supposed to appear 'chocolatey' in meerkat? if not, how do I change to how it's 'meant' to appear in meerkat? [04:20] is there any way to turn the scroll wheel sensitivity down in ubuntu [04:20] JoseeAntonioR i talked to you in spanish because you have a latin name :D [04:20] hi, i am trying to install a broadcom wlan driver which tells me that the kernel module "wl" is missing, what can i do about that? [04:20] i used synaptic to ninstall the bisigi-themes and I am rebooting now [04:21] drakeman: Yes, I'm from Latin America :D I speak Spanish and English, so there's no problem. [04:21] Skaag: ahh.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf might help [04:21] danub: Logged in? What do you mean? [04:22] thanks danub [04:22] JoseeAntonioR: isn't empathy a buddy list or something like msn/yahoo/etc? [04:22] Skaag: no problem [04:23] danub: Yes, I'm logged in Empathy. I can open conversations, read and answer normally. But my contacts aren't shown in the main window. [04:23] you have to use a remote computer as a proxy server to increase privacy, correct? i.e., a proxy server on a local network is still just the same local network to the internet? [04:23] JoseeAntonioR: if no one is online, i dont think it shows anyone [04:24] JoseeAntonioR: is the "show offline" checked under the "view"? [04:24] does a proxy server also increase security in any way? [04:24] mbvpixies78: for who? [04:24] danub: Yes. But I have many contacts online. [04:24] #techbytes [04:24] JoseeAntonioR: i got nothing then. I use pidgin [04:25] danub: Oh, ok. Anyway, thanks. [04:25] danub: I'm talking about my local network and securing it further from the internet while still being connected to the internet [04:25] Derp. [04:25] mbvpixies78: i use one of my linux servers with squid and have my kids network connect thru it so i can block certain content, but other then that, not really [04:26] JoseeAntonioR: any specific protocol? [04:26] mbvpixies78: just set firewall rules. if you have a home network though, you probably have a router and if its a newer one (like in the last, 4 years) it has NAT [04:26] mbvpixies78: some companies implement proxy to be the only way to access the internet, i.e. the client cannot access internet thru other means. [04:26] So can someone recommend a bug free wireless pci for a desktop running 10.10? Kind of sick of the issues with mine. [04:27] bonjoyee: If you refer to MSN, Yahoo, GMail, etc., yes. In MSN. [04:27] mbvpixies78: so unless you have a certain system that is acting as the dmz, you shouldn't have to worry. the connections into your lan have to be initiated from inside your network [04:27] danub: is NAT a form of proxy? [04:27] JoseeAntonioR: i mean..do you have this issue with only a specific protocol? like MSN, Google Talk etc? === ShadowKnight is now known as RedWraith [04:28] USe pidgin. [04:28] It's better for Linux [04:28] mbvpixies78: NAT = Network Address Translation. basically, all trafic comes into the router and it decides where to send the info. generally, only traffic that is let in is traffic that originated from inside your network [04:28] wandersick: I'm using AT&T... I changed their modem to pass PPoE to my router [04:29] bonjoyee: I only use MSN. I don't have a way to check if this is ocurring with another protocol, as I only have a MSN Messenger account. [04:29] anyone familiar with kvm and virsh? [04:29] danub: I guess you don't really know how secure you are until you wait and see [04:29] Then you can install AMSN then. [04:29] were was the list of games again? i lost it. [04:29] mbvpixies78: unless you have a certain machine set as the dmz (de-militarized zone) which then that machine gets forwarded all non-inbound originating network traffic (if i scan your IP with NMAP, and you have a dmz system, i will get to that system) [04:30] danub: dpkg-reconfigure gdm doesnt appear to do anything [04:30] hello? [04:30] Sudo it. [04:30] mbvpixies78: if you dont have a dmz setup, all i can scan is your router which wont provide much in the way of accessing your network [04:30] danub: what is the purpose of a dmz? Isn't any web server a dmz? [04:30] Hey i_is_broke [04:30] a dmx is a "location" on your lan where a webserver may sit [04:30] mbvpixies78: typically yes, web-servers are in a DMZ, but normal workstations aren't [04:31] games list? [04:31] mbvpixies78: there are exceptions, if load-balancers are attached, if you have a cisco router with advanced routing configurations, etc. but your on a home network so those things dont apply [04:32] slestak: maybe you have a bad splash screen theme? [04:32] danub: that's where I'm fuzzy-- I have a web server but am not sure what all I need to check to make sure it is secure as possible [04:32] could be [04:32] where is the spash screen theme configured? Not in Login Settings, or in Settings [04:32] danub: for a dmz, does it all boil down to permissions and secure passwords? [04:32] I mean Appearance [04:33] anyone who uses empathy? [04:33] slestak: [04:33] mbvpixies78: then you should run an audit against it, theres a few applications out there for that [04:33] cant wait to really be able to modify and change the apperance of everything [04:33] you can configure it with ubuntu tweak [04:34] ty [04:34] slestak: lol i actually cant help you with that one. i access it via kde ;) [04:34] !games DaGeek247 [04:34] slestak: ubuntu tweak isn't available in the repository, you'll have to google it and download the .deb [04:34] danub: ok, looking into auditing tools, thx [04:35] hello? [04:35] mbvpixies78: no, not quite. i mean strong pass is good [04:35] compengprof, we see you :) [04:35] Anyone with any experience with kvm and virsh? [04:36] mbvpixies78: you can also set certain firewall rules, dont allow icmp (stop certain forms of DDOS), etc... but your webserver will only be as secure as the operating system and the applications running on it === Scorpionrun is now known as eddy [04:36] I have ubuntu 10.10 on this laptop. thinking about putting the 64bit version on my desktop [04:36] danub: +1 applications [04:36] my flash games and youtube are running slow any suggestion [04:37] the apps you install are the ones to be cautious about. [04:37] i can not get sysinfo to open any suggestions [04:37] and the ones you dink with and dont use and leave half configured can be a vector [04:37] i have seen asp web apps that i could compromise the entire server because of the way it intereacted with the database and the database having the ability to run system commands [04:37] markoso: what are your processor specs? Flash does not play nice with older processors. [04:38] any opinions on what's better among firewalls-- guarddog, firestarter, etc ? [04:38] it worked fine when i had win 7 [04:38] mbvpixies78: w3af in the repos can be used to test your web applications [04:39] does Ubuntu 10.10 not come with a default firewall ? [04:39] hi! created a usb install using the Startup Disk Creator w/ 4 gigs of storage. When i booted the drive, i get the "try or install" screen. How do i use the drive as a persistent install? [04:39] mbvpixies78: nessus is a really good auditor, get the old version which is still free though. the newest one is closed source [04:39] i was just looking at imwheel to adjust wheel sensitivity is that possible in 10.10? [04:39] markoso: flash has gpu acceleration on windows and is more efficient. [04:39] and how would i go about it [04:39] is there a ctrl shift escape how do i kill apps and processes [04:39] mbvpixies78: nmap will give you a quick rundown on possible ways to get in, tell you open ports and what info it can get. [04:40] is the 64bit version of 10.10 worth using ? I opted for the 32bit version because it was reccomended [04:40] 32 [04:40] danub: awesome, downloading, thx [04:40] i usually use 64bit, i have had very few problems. [04:41] hmm I dunno if i should be using 32 or 64, lol [04:41] now im in a predicament [04:41] markoso: graphically you can do it with the system monitor. [04:41] mbvpixies78: lol once you use nessus to see what exploits and things are broke, you *could* go as far as getting metasploit installed and actually cracking your system to help you understand what actually happened and how parts fit together, if you were so inclined [04:41] ty red [04:41] gunndawg, the real issue is: do you want to address more than 3.2 gigs of ram. [04:41] markoso: in the terminal you can do it with the command ps -e to list all processes and kill to kill it. [04:41] gunndawg if you have a dual core or use 4 gig ram or more yes 64 bit is worth using [04:41] if not, go with 32 bit [04:42] lithpr: depends, do you have more then 3.2 installed? if yes, then probably [04:42] awesome thanks RedWraith [04:42] you're welcom. [04:42] gunndawg: and consider using 10.04 instead of 10.10, for better stability... [04:42] danub, i think i said that [04:42] right now my laptop is a 64bit cpu, but only has 2gb ram [04:42] danub: I am-- want to learn all I can now to make the rest of my degree that less difficult (security/programming) [04:42] I'm having problems with logging in. User has encrypted home directory, and I'm seeing errors in /var/log/messages [04:42] sorry, im kinda half reading with all the crap i got flying at me ;) [04:42] is nautilus a required process === Guest1483 is now known as hjkl [04:42] danub: metasploit was hard to install tho, but will try again [04:42] mbvpixies78: no technology makes security/programming easier [04:43] I havent had any stability issues with 10.10 yet [04:43] Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs format, or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO [04:43] mbvpixies78: hold on, ill get you the link for easy install [04:43] it should be noted if your using a dell 2400 do not install 10.04 [04:44] I am using a Toshiba C655 Laptop on Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit and have had no issues [04:44] Is it possible to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu?

I think I follow so far. [05:15] so what is the problem, piper69? [05:15] i can't get to www.mydomain.com [05:16] is the domain resolving to the correct address? [05:16] Also, do you have the router set up to route the inbound traffic to that address? [05:16] ericp_: how can i tell [05:16] philip_:what version of gtkpod [05:17] Do you know your global IP address? The public address of the router? [05:17] well DynDNS is resolving my domain.com to my WAN ip address [05:17] You can go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and see what your address is. [05:17] piper69: login to your router and make sure you have port forwarding the ports you want to listen on directed to the systems that are running those services [05:17] Yeah, if your DNS is resolving correctly, then you need forwarding at the router to get the traffic in. [05:18] ericp_: i did ...fwd port 80 to 192.168.1.146 which is connected to WAN on the 2nd router [05:20] sacarlson: i did ...fwd port 80 to 192.168.1.146 which is connected to WAN on the 2nd router [05:21] piper69: I don't think you want to route port 80 to another gateway, you setup port forward 80 to your ubuntu box or whatever you have that is running apache2 or other service [05:21] how come in xchat when you click someones name it doesn't put them in the message window [05:21] Im having trouble with accessing a share on my windows pc host (from a VM).

I added the repository from the Hrandbrake website and installed GTK and common libraries.

[05:27] Help! how do i create a bootable disk from an iso in 10.10? Startup disk creator? [05:27] piper69: and I guess you missed my last post, I asked if you had two router both having wan access?

[05:31] my ip is 10.34 this is a windows box [05:31] my ubuntu box is on 10.33 === lynx is now known as Guest54642 [05:31] sacarlson: no port fwd in router 2 [05:32] piercedwater: i have and use handbrake regularly with xubuntu 10.10. the start button is disabled until you load a file/disc/directory [05:32] bc81: can u tell me those directions again? it scrolled off the screen before I could get to gconf [05:32] hello [05:32] piper69: inside router 2 port forward port 80 to 192.168.2.33 [05:32] if anyone knows a way to input the command to doubleclick a user let me know compiling a new xchat from source for a point release that probably will not do anything is not worth the effort [05:32] piercedwater: sorry, that message was to someone else [05:32] sacarlson: doesn't have port fwd option [05:32] :( [05:33] piercedwater: but about handbrake, you installed it from the ppa? [05:33] My ubuntu terminal stopped letting me paste in it.... [05:33] piper69: you need to login to the router to change it, I never seen a router that doesn't have it [05:33] bc81: yes, someone tolf me to open gconf, but i didnt see what to do after that [05:33] sacarlson: it is a ZyXEL P-330W_V1. [05:33] told* [05:33] OH. CRAP. My computer is telling me that all I have is 420kb left. I KNOW this isn't true. After scanning my hard drive with that utility it says I actually have like 400gb left. What the heck? [05:33] piper69: I have a zyxel and it had port forwarding [05:34] piercedwater: no, the gconf message was from me, to someone else. forget about that. what version of handbrake are you using? [05:34] you have only one partition, RPG-Master ? [05:34] piper69: unless your isp won't give you the password in such case I do a reset on the box and login to change it [05:34] bc81: Rev2965 [05:34] sacarlson: i am logged in the ZyXEl now [05:35] 64 boit [05:35] bit [05:35] mkaay: Besides swap, yes. [05:35] RPG-Master, I mean, does your system complain about lack of space on the same filesystem you scanned? [05:35] but can't find/see port fwd settings [05:35] RPG-Master, ok [05:35] mkaay: Yeah. [05:35] Updated to kernel 2.6.32-28 and computer reboots continuously [05:36] Running on 2.6.32-27 [05:36] piper69: here are the instructions on how to setup fowarding on that box http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/ZyXEL/P-330w/Echolink.htm [05:36] mkaay: OK, the utility actually says 45gb, but the problem still stands. [05:36] How do uninstall the latest kernel? === invisiblek is now known as invisiblek-afk [05:36] piercedwater: ever installed a ppa before? go here: https://launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa that will get you the latest version [05:36] RPG-Master, what is the utility you are using? [05:37] tmr0, use synaptic [05:37] anyone use WINE here? [05:37] mkaay: It's in Accessories as "Disk Usage Analyzer". [05:37] bc81: that is where i got my ppa from that i added [05:37] mkanyicy, thanks [05:37] tmr0, search for 'linux image' and then 'linux source' and then 'linux headers' [05:37] sacarlson: ahhh it is virtual servers :) sorry i missed that :) [05:37] RPG-Master, you mean, baobab, right? [05:38] mkaay: According to it's About, yes. [05:38] oh, i see. [05:38] so which ip address i will fwd [05:38] RPG-Master, try on terminal: 'df -h' and see if this agrees with baobab [05:38] piercedwater: so, tell me have you used handbrake before with success? [05:38] if i have apache2 in my ubuntu box .10.33 [05:38] bc81: I have never used it on Ubuntu [05:39] piper69: that can't be your address I assume it's 192.168.1.33 [05:40] mkanyicy: :O I just realized I've been mention the wrong person! [05:40] :P [05:40] sacarlson: it is .10.33 [05:40] piercedwater: oh, try testing out the loading of a DVD/video_ts folder [05:40] *mentiong [05:40] *mentioning [05:40] piper69: it will have to be within the netmask of your wan router [05:40] RPG-Master, all you ave to do is to use TAB COMPLETION [05:40] mkanyicy: But it's saying: /dev/sda1 895G 849G 416K 100% / [05:40] eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:xx:8b:xx:03:xxinet addr:192.168.10.33 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [05:41] RPG-Master, 416K is available [05:41] RPG-Master, the 100% says you have used 100% portion of the disk [05:41] mkanyicy: I do, which typing "mka" and then tabbing gives me mkaay :P [05:41] RPG-Master, the second tab will give you 'me' [05:42] piper69: then I guess that won't work since your wan router 2 is off that mask with ip 192.168.1.1 [05:42] mkanyicy: Can I use that boabab as root to see where all that space has gone? [05:42] bc81: thanx alot [05:42] RPG-Master, sure [05:42] sacarlson: router 1 WAN and it is 192.168.1.1 acts as a DHCP for range 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.150 [05:42] mkanyicy: OOOOHHH. I've been using IRC for two years now and I just learned something new... :P [05:43] RPG-Master, lol [05:43] piper69: that's fine setup your ubuntu box to anything in that range or a bit above like 192.168.1.152 [05:43] sacarlson: and i have a cat5 going from LAN port in my linksys router 1 connected in WAN port of ZyXEL router [05:44] mkanyicy, RPG-Master...me too [05:44] thanks for the tab tip ;) [05:44] I guess you know now how to proceed from here, good luck. I gotta go now. [05:44] mkanyicy: Thanks for the help. [05:44] RPG-Master, no prob [05:44] madsailor, no prob [05:45] piper69: your router 1 can just act as a bridge for wan router 2, just let it all fall into one bridged network lan [05:46] abhijain: you're welcome [05:46] sacarlson: i wanted to use to different subnets to kinda separate the two networks [05:46] I need help allowing my standard login to be able to mount an NTFS usb hard drive and still be able to use NTFS-3G's UserMapping features (ie. remembering ACLs, user ownership, etc.) [05:47] piper69: ok up to you just setup your ubuntu apache2 on the wan side in static then [05:47] I tried to add a line to /etc/fstab but now normal users can't mount it anymore [05:47] thats just nasty [05:47] apple broke the linux compatibility on ipods === Kasjopaja23 is now known as Kasjopaja [05:48] sacarlson: well thats what i ve been trying to do ....but i don't know why its not working even thu i setup the ip in for my ubuntu box in router 1 [05:48] you can't connect new ones now === Kasjopaja is now known as Guest29992 [05:49] piper69: you will have to setup your ubuntu box with a static ip in the mask range 192.168.1.0/24 router 2 side [05:49] piper69: do you know how to setup static ip address in ubuntu? [05:50] piper69: or are you thinking of another solution? [05:51] piper69: you could change the mask to be 255.255.0.0 that might also work [05:51] for which router [05:52] piper69: I don't know I will let you find a solution of your chosing, I would stick with the static IP address in ubuntu and leave the routers as is === hjkl is now known as Guest48505 [05:53] Hi guys, I just installed ubuntu a couple weeks ago and the internal mic on my lenovo does not work.

I'm reading this FAQ about the issue (see link) but I don't really understand what its saying about setuid root, and I don't know how to apply persistent permissions to a block device (they always see to go back after I change them). http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/#unprivileged [06:00] Could someone please help me, I installed a game yesterday on someone elses computer, the game is Warcraft 3, I used playonlinux, but i dont know how to get the Patch to work, and help? [06:01] ericp_: why is the entire /home directory encrypted? [06:01] slax00 [06:01] Eagle best bet it to talk to wine support [06:01] the account was set up that way. [06:01] is to** [06:02] laptop, some concern about it being stolen and wanted data to be inaccessible. [06:02] oh sorry no playonlinux support then [06:02] Actually the account I'm logged in with also has encrypted home directory. [06:02] ericp_: maybe so but you can create a new account that isn't setup that way, just boot single user and create a new user [06:02] That's an option for ubuntu 10.10 [06:02] ericp_: I assume you forgot the password or ?? [06:03] No, I know the password. [06:03] I'm logged in as a different user now. [06:03] if I open terminal and 'su ericp' [06:03] I get logged in, everything mounts up and I can see ericp's home directory. [06:03] ericp_: oh ok so you have another user so create a new one from there then and just copy the encrytped files to the new unecrytped dir [06:04] Yeah, I might end up doing that. [06:04] What's different when I log directly in? [06:04] anyone know if 11.04 o accelceration in flash ? [06:04] oops, that came out wrong [06:04] gunndawg, #ubuntu+1 for natty please [06:04] I get Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs format, or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO error in /var/log/messages when I log directly in. [06:05] bazhang, what ? [06:05] ericp_: I"m not sure I created a test encrytped account but I don't use it, I was afraid I would have problems like you are having now [06:05] gunndawg, natty is 11.04 channel for discussion is #ubuntu+1 [06:05] oh ok [06:05] thx [06:05] Yeah, it has worked well for months. Actually had it under 10.04 as well, [06:05] no problems every [06:05] ever [06:05] ericp_: well lossing the key is the same as forgeting the password [06:05] until now. [06:05] yusufagca: have a look - http://www.softscout.com/Linux-Farm-Management-Software sorry, it's all i could find [06:06] OK. but it finds the key when I su. It can't find the key when I log in directly. [06:06] I have the encryption passphrase, too. Not sure where I can manually put that back in. [06:06] ericp_: I guess the key file has wrong priv or user numbers assigned [06:07] Welp I'm going back to windows all thanks to Apple.... [06:07] sounds like you may have use SU and not sudo on at one point in time eripc.. that may have missed up the ownership ectect [06:07] ericp_: might just be easier to create a new encrypted account and sudo cp all the files into your new account and make sure to chmod all files to match your user [06:08] hey anyone know the address i connect to on my web browser to configure a cisco router? [06:08] OK Which file is the ownership wrong on? [06:09] diecastarts: ericp_: if we had an encryption expert dude they might know where the key is located so you can check to see who owns it [06:09] How can I get a drive to automount with root priveleges? [06:10] banisterfiend, try searching for the default on the web === Look is now known as _____________xD [06:10] if you have changed at that some point in time then no idea .. you have to hard reset the router [06:10] what is the difference between gnome and unity?

[06:18] ?????? [06:18] amit, i dont know about jetty specifically, but those are services that have been running that are shutting down [06:18] !ask | skyhawk [06:18] skyhawk: 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. :-) [06:18] amit, i think jetty is java servlet engine and webserver or something [06:18] yeah it is [06:18] Sorry I'm new to IRC. Is there a way to start xubuntu without a desktop environment? [06:19] noonian: no it is related to firewall but i cannot understood why this message is being shown always === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse [06:19] skyhawk: lol why would you use xubuntu then? [06:19] why not use ubuntu-server [06:19] or similar [06:19] Jetty provides an HTTP server, HTTP client, and javax.servlet container. These components are open source and available for commercial use and distribution. [06:19] skyhawk: ctr+alt+f1 ?

[06:20] skyhawk: you can either remove or disable gdm/kdm/xdm, so X won't be started unless you need it [06:21] piercedwater: avidemux [06:21] piercedwater: it has a GTK+ GUI [06:21] Fuchs: How can I do that? [06:22] skyhawk, i think the best way would be to remove the stuff you dont need from one of the runlevels that ubuntu doesnt use, and then switch that to default === it`s is now known as jmad98O [06:22] yeah I agree with noonian [06:22] no reason to remove gdm/kdm or whatever gui you are using [06:23] noonian: that sounds great. I don't know where to edit those though [06:23] i dont really either, this is something ive been meaning to do actually [06:23] skyhawk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpstartHowto << there you go [06:23] skyhawk: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=843646 [06:23] its pretty easy to do [06:24] Thanks! Fuchs: your name wouldn't be referring to the style of wheel would it? [06:24] if i want to boot windows xp, windows 7, and ubuntu with say grub 2. i have installed XP, installed 7, and now i will install Grub to the MBR. however, when selecting win xp, it takes me to the win 7 chooser, where i need to choose winxp. is there a way to make xp go to xp, 7 go to straight 7 from the Grub menu? [06:24] some special finicking with 7 loader or something? [06:25] skyhawk: no, rather to the (swiss)german word for fox [06:25] this might be a weird question , my dell poweredge server got to built in nic, how would i know which one is eth0 and with on it eth1 [06:26] piercedwater: you might also want to give arista a try, i tried it a while back but it wasn't so good then..it might be better now though [06:27] hey_joe I don't believe it's possible to send grub straight to the xp boot loader, because after you installed 7 the XP bootloader was replaced with the win7 one [06:27] piper69: so one built in nic and one pci nic? [06:28] Richie086: nope both are built in [06:29] i would plug one in, leave one dissconnected, run dhclient and see which one gets an ip address [06:29] Hi. I have a laptop that is failing to boot up. It has Ubuntu on it and it is saying Mount of file system failed. What do I need to do to recover? [06:30] piper69: i am guessing you are using ubuntu? [06:30] Piper69: If you have physical access to the box just unplug one of the nics and see which interface goes down [06:30] that works too [06:30] smegzor: you could try to boot a live system and check the filesystem with fsck, and restore it, if needed [06:31] piper69: do you have physical access to the server? [06:31] Thanks. Trying that now. [06:33] bc81_: may i pm you? [06:33] sacarlson, you still around? [06:33] howto add ssh key to account without login shell? possible? (ssh-add etc) ?

[06:36] hey [06:37] yes i can suspend but i have to shut off my computer and turn it back on to get it back [06:37] My NIC (Intel 82566DM) on a DQ965GF motherboard won't wakeup after suspend or reboot [06:37] Richie086: yes... i am trying to assign static ip to any of the two NIC, every time i do so and i /etc/init.d/networking restart i get failed to bring up eth1 [06:37] still, i need something lighter [06:37] linoge: what's your goal for this machine? Light-weight desktop? otherwise ubuntu server comes with next to nothing installed [06:37] don' t use suspend it doesn't work [06:38] and yes i have over 4gb of swap space [06:38] dwalter: i need something like.... mmm... just a dwm desktop with a console and build utilities [06:38] piercedwater: yes, sorry was afk [06:38] dwalter: and the desktop is... optional [06:38] linoge, you can start with ubuntu-minimal and only install what you want [06:39] omg [06:39] i'm trying to install ubuntu, but it reboots halfway through the installation. The cd is fine though....any ideas? [06:39] i was running with the nomodeset option [06:39] joeoshawa: on suspend; how authoritative is that? [06:39] why aren't those beautifull things in the main page? [06:39] linoge, or you can uninstall office and everything you dont want [06:39] authoritative? [06:39] piper69: so, eth0 is working then? [06:40] slow connection here [06:40] thank you so much ZykoticK9 :) [06:40] linoge, glad to help [06:40] i guess the thing for me is mine never stops working i mean when i sleep i got a movie playing [06:40] Richie086: nope samething [06:41] still, why aren't those so usefull images in the downloads page? [06:41] :) [06:41] piper69: would setup both eth0 and eth1 as static be a viable option? [06:41] when i play with my kids i got their shows movies and such on [06:41] piper69: so both ports are failing to come online? [06:41] linoge, ubuntu's goal is to be "linux for everyone" ubuntu-minimal is NOT for everyone [06:41] :P [06:42] joeoshawa: so consider suspend broken in meerkat? [06:42] sacarlson: well i am trying to setup it as static [06:42] linoge, sorry "linux for human beings" but you get the message ;) [06:42] as far as i can tell yes [06:42] ~pastebin [06:42] hehe, well, anyways.... i have a broadcom card, how would i do to use it while installing? [06:43] i can't use a suspend that bricks my machine till i hit the power supply switch [06:43] kickingvegas, suspend works for me as long as i dont have an external monitor plugged in, then it works sometimes but sometimes only wakes on the external and laptop stays blank or something similr [06:43] piper69: make them both static http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [06:43] joeoshawa: yeah, I agree. figure you get what you pay for :| [06:43] linoge, you MUST have net access for ubuntu-minimal - do you have a wired connection you could use for install? [06:43] sacarlson: http://paste.ubuntu.com/558872/ [06:43] not really i mean ubuntu linux is a great distro os [06:44] it is just suspend that is a problem [06:44] but i think it is ok in 10.04 [06:44] ZykoticK9: yes, but i thought it would be fun to know how to connect through wireless :) [06:44] you would have to ask someone who used 10.04 [06:44] joeoshawa: nope, vncserver in 10.10 is broken as well [06:44] the partition manager wouldn't see my hdd [06:45] vncserver [06:45] piper69: gateway? [06:45] piper69: your gateway is outside the mask address of your network [06:45] piper69: yeah 192.168.10.x and 192.168.1.x [06:45] linoge, the minimal cd has VERY few drivers on it - i can't even get 10.04s minimal to use my regular ethernet on my EEE, so wireless is probably NOT possible (or very difficult) if it's not automatically working [06:46] sacarlson: well i thought the gw will be of the other router ip address [06:46] piper69: that's fine then don't add a gateway on this eth1 just need one gateway [06:47] Suspend works on my 10.04 boxes....but suspend "functionality" seems to vary with hardware. I'm running 10.04 on a Dell Latitude E6410 and it works fine [06:47] looks to me like many people have vncserver working in 10.10 [06:47] sacarlson: explain please ....just one gateway [06:47] ZykoticK9: mmm, so, is there a way to install it through usb? [06:47] seems to me i did [06:47] piper69: only one of your 2 nics need to point to a gateway address you only have one wan router [06:48] but the machine i used it with was a pos lol [06:48] piper69: why are you using two seperate networks? are you trying to seperate logical networks? [06:48] old and dead [06:48] trying to add my buzz account to my social messaging thing, I authorize it and it just shows a page saying Authorization complete [06:48] but doesnt add the account [06:48] ? [06:48] hi everyvody [06:48] i collect machines other pitch [06:49] linoge, there are no build tools on the minimal cd - issue i ran into, i couldn't even install the drivers as there wasn't enough tools. if it doesn't work automatically, it probably won't work.

[07:07] what are you trying to run exactly [07:07] asfjio: sudo service ssh stop [07:07] sacarlson, seriously? ok.. thanks but yeah.. that's not a solution [07:08] i have a modem and a wireless router, the router was reset and now i when i connect to it i cant access the internet. Can anyone tell me what i should do? [07:08] kuru: sorry I don't know [07:09] horsefish66 unplug the network cable from the linux box wait for a while for the router to realise its not connected then reconnect it [07:09] asfjio, I guess you could kill the process [07:09] horsefish66: there is no linux box - it's a cisco router plugged into a modem [07:10] wrong room [07:10] ubuntu [07:10] sacarlson: this is killing me man. if i typed my domindocom it hit my first router then stop there [07:10] joeoshawa* [07:10] yes [07:11] piper69: did you see my example? http://paste.ubuntu.com/558874/ [07:11] i was assuming you had a linux machine somewhere in the mix [07:11] particularly a ubuntu machine [07:11] :P [07:12] i have no idea about cisco systems [07:12] sacarlson: yes , but my server is a headless, so if it fu**s up i will have to walk all the way to the end of the house and open the rack and pull it out and come back here to reconfig it [07:13] am too lazy now...i am thinking to head to bed and work on it in the am [07:13] maybe i am not seeing clearly now [07:14] whats a easy way on ubuntu to share desktop vlc?

[07:49] asfjio: You're welcome. [07:49] how can I inject into STDIN of an already started bash process(wich is not running any commands), from another process [07:49] sergiu14: What is your end goal? [07:49] to set up some env variables in all started bash processes [07:49] hello, my question is odd. I log into my windows on dual boot on this machine and my ip is different. I log with ubuntu and its stayed the same [07:49] sergiu14: you can pipe into stdin but I don't think you can do that after it's already started unless you have piped something to start that will pipe it later [07:49] so the user doesnt require a boot [07:50] Wow, now my router wont even turn on! [07:50] hm, nothing comes to my head, you can forward output of command (via tty id), but execute? Dunno. [07:50] nothing is piped(I know how to do it this way), I want something for my situation :p [07:51] does anyone know why my ip on ubuntu stays the same andi can change it on windows on the same dual machine? [07:51] sergiu14: I still don't understand your end goal. [07:51] I was tought that root can do anything... so I guess he can do that...but I dont know how [07:51] END GOAL: all started bash process get an new env variable [07:52] so I dont require a bash restart [07:52] lets say I have 100 started bash processes [07:52] and I want to update all with a new env variable [07:52] I dont want to write 100 times that... [07:52] sergiu14: Why do you want all bash processes to get a new environment variable?

I admit it [07:53] sergiu14: I'm not sure when the env values are read, can you just loop on checking one and echo it then change it and see if it changes? [07:53] the values are read when bash starts.. but in my case.. bash is already started [07:54] sergiu14: You still haven't stated an end goal. Unless your customer just really enjoys having environment variables changed there is more to the situation. Please explain your *end goal*. [07:54] Hello. Why does /etc/init.d/networking fail when /etc/network/interfaces contains the following line at the end: "post-up /etc/network/if-up.d/zoneedit"? I have an /etc/network/if-up.d/zoneedit file marked +x. [07:55] sergiu14: but what if you run it in a seasion as script& then change the env will it change in the script? [07:55] has anyone else noticed that their ip stays the same in ubuntu and is different on windows on a cable ISP? [07:55] this is kind of a theoretical problem.. I have a started process. Now from another root process I want to write into the started process STDIN (the process are not relatives.. and I dont want to change the first process) :) [07:55] Hey everybody. Is there any way to change an ubuntu partition to ntfs while using netbook remix 10.10? [07:56] any help would really be appreciated [07:56] sergiu14: Please read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal [07:56] potatoes..isnt that an option when you install the OS? [07:57] this is a UNIX related question not really an UBUNTU question, I know, but I thought there are smart people in the UBUNTU comunity who could help me :) === Loongjiang is now known as LongJ [07:58] It was, but netbook remix got rid of my other partitions. Basically I fucked up on installation [07:58] let me re-state the question [07:58] ThrashedPotatoes, watch the language [07:59] Is there a cli command that I can use to get how many lines are in a fiel/ [07:59] file* [07:59] i'm surprised that nobody knows that answer, potatoes. It seems like something that would come up often [07:59] mcnellis: wc /path/to/file [07:59] Anyone know anything about /etc/network/interfaces? [08:00] sergiu14: I have a thought you could just have your script loop every X secounds and resource a script that will setup the env to the new settings if the sourced scirpt has changed anything [08:00] ah thanks Jordan_U [08:00] mcnellis: You're welcome. [08:00] has ANYONE successfully changed their cable static or dynamic ip in ubuntu? I've done it thousands of times in windows via ipconfit/release and etc [08:01] ive been trying for two days and nothing seems to work for me [08:02] sudo dhclient eth0 <--or the like?

I have four windows pop up to do it [08:05] -- renewal in 39269 seconds. is what i get, dzup2 [08:05] I wanted to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu. I acidentally got rid of my main and recovery partition, so now I'm left with just netbook remix. I'd like to get back to having just windows 7 so I can dual boot correctly, but windows won't download on to anything but a ntfs partition. Any ideas? [08:06] i want to force it to renew [08:06] babymammothlives: it automatically polls the dhcp server every so often. open a terminal and type: tail -f /var/log/syslog you will see when it does that [08:07] babymammothlives: then you release/renew your ip, check: wget www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - -o /dev/null [08:07] ThrashedPotatoes: create an ntfs partition witu ubuntu [08:08] babymammothlives: yw [08:08] I'm completely new to ubuntu. Where would I go to do that? [08:08] babymammothlives: everytime it 'polls' it's basically renewing the dhcp lease [08:09] ThrashedPotatoes: I guess you will have to repartition to provide the needed space for your windows 7 to install, if you already have the needed space in what you deleted then just install windows 7 and recover grub2 after [08:09] ha..ok, thanks..let me see what happened [08:09] ThrashedPotatoes: What do you mean "won't download onto anything but an ntfs partition"? Do you mean install? [08:09] How do I tell what programs require me to unlock the keychain on boot? I have four windows pop up to do it [08:10] Hi, excuse me.

[08:11] kool, check your default gateaway [08:11] It won't install on to anything but ntfs formatted disk space and I don't know how to reformat it within netbook remix [08:11] FAT. I'm using the HDD for all my WINE installations. [08:11] Fishmeistercod: FAT doesn't have a concept of an execute bit. [08:11] Fishmeistercod: FAT doesn't support permission changes. [08:11] :< [08:12] dzup2 ok TY will do, I'll try as well the live 32bit and see what happens [08:12] is there something i can install to monitor my cpu temp from a terminal?

[09:56] no clue :( [09:56] mine has vista and 10.10 ubuntu but i see too many other options [09:56] pout. [09:56] dustring010: It's probably an old kernel that's left from an upgrade [09:57] i know it is just wanna see if i could get rid of it [09:57] dustring010: Try typing 'sudo apt-get autoremove' in a terminal window, that'll remove any possible leftovers [09:57] Gerwin does autoremove work for all packages and left overs ?

[09:59] what did ya do dustring [09:59] GunnDawg: It removes any file marked unnecessary by apt, be it because of an upgrade, or because it's no longer used by any program. [09:59] i typed sudo apt-get autoremove [09:59] in terminal [09:59] Gerwin, nice! just found 103mb of stuff unused [09:59] lol [10:00] GunnDawg: If you want complete removal, try 'sudo apt=get autoremove --purge', that will remove all the files normally left (configuration files etc.) as well.

What's the command-line for determining status of a package again? (installed / upgradable / not installed etc.) [10:11] and then to save the ip and its config is by using /etc/network/interfaces [10:11] kwtm: apat-cache policy? [10:11] (I notice someone is using the silly nickname of _____________xD --interesting.) === Delphius_ is now known as Delphius [10:12] Back :) [10:12] sacarlson, does that script give me a new ip?

[10:14] tends to fill up the connection tracking table in the firewalls [10:14] if i have to enter into another computer using their open ports [10:14] ? [10:14] dustring010: do a search based on package name [10:14] Guest63966: You should try irc.2600.net [10:14] .... but i have no idea what the package name is... [10:15] Guest63966: nmap will only tell you if there is an open port and some other info. how to get into is entirely another problem pne we are not going to help you here [10:15] hi, is it normal that /script/init-bottom takes so much time for bootup? [10:15] dustring010: liux-image-blah-version-bla [10:15] dustring010: either search for linux image or for the version string you want to remove [10:15] dont you have to restart to see the p ackage name?

Are there known issues with 64-bit ? [10:16] kk [10:16] jetboyjetgirl: that's a bug in the website [10:16] so i found them, do i mark the old ones for removal and remove? [10:16] dustring010: example search 2.6.32-28 or whatever ...

[10:26] hi, my boottime is 80 seconds, on a lenovo ideapad s12, intel atom @ 1,6GHz, 2GB Ram and a 160GB hdd. i use the minimal install und fluxbox. 60 seconds of the 80 are taken by running /script/init-bottom. i found 2 such folders /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom (which is empty) and /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom wich contains plymouth and udev. afaik plymouth can not be removed because it's a cure package and udev is [10:26] im not sure my pc is slow, because win7 seems to run fine but only ubuntu 10.10 has lags (e.g. it lags when i click the menu, open terminal, etc), anyone has this experience? [10:26] sacarlson, ty..i'll try it in a few minutes :) [10:26] GunnDawg: well dist-upgrade can uninstall and install new packages when tryin to resolve an upgrade situation. plain upgrade can't do that and sometimes it can get stuck just like you saw [10:27] daedra: no [10:27] GunnDawg: you only use dist-upgrade as last resort [10:27] can someone help me create a backport of a package to 10.04? [10:27] daedra: the are stored in /var/apt/cache, you can do an apt-get clean if you want to remove them.

[10:32] kcg: maybe ubuntu doesnt have the needed driver, then your card is worth zero to ubuntu because it can not be used up to its full speed [10:32] What does "dist" stand for in apt-get dist-upgrade [10:32] i only installed the default restricted driver in ubuntu [10:33] daedra: if you are interested about packagemanagement, have a look at aptitude. it keeps better track of packages than apt-get ... this is at least my opinion. google apt-get vs aptitude...

I've put my data (/home) in another partition. [10:50] sacarlson: ulimit: command not found [10:50] anyone? [10:51] are people having trouble with the new kernal updates? [10:51] ChipCherou: Not sure if anyone answered your question yet. I don't know how to answer, but I feel for you. I guess you already went through Ctrl-Alt-F1 to Ctrl-Alt-F12 and no graphics session. Do you know if the X server is running? If yes, then you want "gdm" (Gnome Display Manager) running, too.

I don't know seeing that i'm paranoid and don't use wireless, but it'd be nice to know just in case [11:25] benedict: ncurses? pfft, iwconfig and dhclient [11:25] oO [11:25] Gnea, so your saying over time the wireless will just quit working? seems unlogical [11:25] Gnea: with a wpa2 network? [11:25] unlogical XD [11:25] NewToUbuntu: dpkg -L PACKAGE | grep bin [11:25] GunnDawg: no, I'm saying that different places will result in different results [11:25] benedict: any network [11:26] Gnea, ah yeah well thats pretty true with windows also, some wifi spots work and some dont [11:26] obviously, if encryption is involved, have to kick wpa_supplicant into gear at some point [11:26] Gnea: wpa2 always caused me troubles :( also i dont feel comfortable writing my wpa2 password to a file [11:26] what is wpa_supplicant good for ? [11:26] GunnDawg: yup, they tend to be configured differently at times... heh, I found a public access point not too long ago that was 101% open [11:26] hi there i ve installed myth tv in ubuntu cant set it right for my tv card ... any ideas [11:27] daedra: so now you have network connection? [11:27] and by 101%, I mean the extra 1% was in relation to the fact that the AP had no password set for the admin account [11:27] Gnea, wow [11:27] i had installed gnome beside my kde. now gnome is gone, but on kde startup i get an errormessage about missing screenlets (the packages are also removed). why kde ask on startup for screenlets? [11:27] it was hilarious. I set a password on it and it stopped handing out IP's. [11:28] didn't change anything else [11:28] How shud i know i have Mysql installed on my ubuntu 10.10 [11:28] yes, it was a belkin :) [11:28] Gnea, what is wpa_supplicant used for ? [11:28] GunnDawg: encryption algorithms - wep, wpa1, wpa2, etc [11:28] GunnDawg: wpa2 encryption [11:28] also wpa [11:28] when I try to install the latest ati drivers (again), I get all kinds of make errors... how do I properly remove the previous install and try again? [11:28] Gnea, so it cracks weps ? [11:28] -_- [11:28] lol [11:28] GunnDawg: no, it handles encryption for your network connection [11:28] ah ok [11:28] GunnDawg: it's the component that makes it *work* :) [11:29] Is bluedevil being packaged/rolled out separately from KDE 4.6 since I did some translation updates and they are not in 4.6 final in bluedevil [11:29] i am following this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Maverick_Installation_Guide#Installing_Proprietary_Drivers_a.k.a._Catalyst.2Ffglrx [11:29] daedra: hm so to fix your packages i'd try aptitude [11:29] i wish I'd never run apt [11:30] now I can't even launch X [11:30] daedra: what? [11:30] startx doesn't work for you daedra ? [11:30] and have spent ages configuring wpa_supplicant [11:30] lol [11:31] why did ubuntu get rid of the inittab anyways? [11:31] !inittab | Us3r_Unfriendly [11:31] Us3r_Unfriendly: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [11:31] benedict: sudo aptitude: command not found [11:31] guess i'm old school [11:32] daedra: sudo apt-get install aptitude [11:32] ur old school? I am using ISSI to access IRC ;) [11:32] daedra: :/ on all my systems aptitude was install my default.. [11:32] wpa is no longer working [11:32] GunnDawg: me too [11:32] daedra: it's funny, you need apt to install aptitude [11:32] terminal chat ftw [11:32] :/ [11:32] daedra: maybe clean up your disk check what uses all the space with Applications>accesories>Disk usage analizer and find some stuf you don't need like the apt-get cache [11:32] benedict: it's not anymore [11:32] terminal chat is my favorite [11:32] grr [11:33] GunnDawg: i'm using Wee-chat [11:33] never heard of that [11:33] jrib: i did a minimal install (my current system) and it was there. [11:33] also why is dhclient trying DHPDISCOVER on 255.255.255.255?! [11:33] benedict: what ubuntu version? [11:33] GunnDawg: did you get screen sorted? [11:33] oh... 10.04 jrib [11:33] benedict: :) [11:33] sry [11:33] Gnea, yeah we did that yesterday morning, remember ? [11:33] hello there [11:34] I'm used to dhcpcd [11:34] somehow 10.10 doesn't want ot work on my system === root is now known as Guest72040 [11:34] benedict: space on the cd is precious [11:34] how is dhclient different? [11:34] I have read the rules, so apologies if this isn't appropriate: I've lost my wireless connection, rfkill says it isn't blocked at all..and ubuntu no longer asks me for my default keyring n starup...using ubuntu 10.10, and it worked fine until this morning [11:34] GunnDawg: ah okay, well I remember introducing the concept to you, didn't figure you'd jump right into it lol [11:34] daedra: static ip? [11:34] GunnDawg: very cool, though :) [11:34] oh I thought you meant my E16 issue [11:34] pffft [11:34] no I Havent messed or looked into "screen" yet [11:34] sacarlson: no [11:34] jrib: eben the minimal install [11:34] even [11:35] GunnDawg: it's like irssi but with a different command-line/interface layout. it's command-line [11:35] I've always got my ip via dhcpcd [11:35] hey [11:35] GunnDawg: I use irssi all the time. I like to use it within screen so that if I have to logout/login to the system, I can do so without having irssi interrupted [11:35] how do you get it using dhclient [11:36] Gnea: have you tried tmux? [11:36] GunnDawg: my youtube video where i'm using wee-chat [11:36] Gnea, where can I learn abot how to use it ? I did use "screen irssi" when I launched this though [11:36] (screen is also good to detach form on a server for that reason) [11:36] GunnDawg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rShwAB62qM&hd=1 [11:36] i removed a package lets say gnome, but gnome keeps working [11:36] why is that happening? [11:36] * jrib bets goliath removed his irc client... [11:36] GunnDawg: it's pretty much a matter of understanding how the ctrl sequences work [11:37] GunnDawg: but you understand vim, so the learning curve won't be too bad [11:37] benedict: nope [11:37] yeah [11:37] vim is awesome! [11:37] daedra: iwconfig wlan0 essid youraccesspointname; sudo dhclient wlan0 [11:37] vi is old school and i found out i was pronouncing vi wrong this whole time lol [11:37] yep, thats what I'm doing [11:37] :/ [11:37] pretty cool chat Us3r_Unfriendly, I might get that [11:37] Us3r_Unfriendly: erm, what were you saying? [11:38] Gnea: it's like screen, but a bit "cleaner" . also it natively supports slpitting vertically and horizontally... and you can ask it to use vim syntax :D [11:38] Gnea: what are you comparing to vim? [11:38] sacarlson: with the added wpa_supplicant call [11:38] jrib: about what? the vi or vim part? [11:38] Us3r_Unfriendly: pronouncing "vi"? [11:38] Us3r_Unfriendly: the difference between command and input modes [11:39] jrib: i was pronouncing it to friends as (Veeee) when it's actually pronounced (Vee I) [11:39] Bored26m: no idea, but try messing with network manager some? [11:39] daedra: I'm not sure where to add wpa_supplicant on the command line, maybe in /etc/network/interfaces [11:39] I say "vie" for vi but "vim" for ... vim [11:39] Us3r_Unfriendly: I see [11:39] Gnea: okay yeah it's like that [11:39] sacarlson: Its worked on my archlinux box [11:39] benedict: interesting.. [11:40] sacarlson: I place it after iwconfig wlan0 essid "ESSID", and before dhcpcd [11:40] Gnea: it' in the ubuntu repos [11:40] benedict: I'll have to give it a shot when I get my other system up and running [11:40] benedict: yeah, I just don't have time to learn something completely new right now [11:40] jrib: been doing that all morning! is it possible to remove and reinstall do you know...or will the fact that I've got a wired connection on the go stop it uninstalling completely? [11:40] tmux comes with a status bar at the bottom by default, which is nice [11:40] as that's harder to configure in screen [11:40] Veee I in my opinion makes it sound like a futuristic system, vi is old school command line editor. And i say this about the actually Vi version out there, not the one installed on Ubuntu be default, which is more like vim [11:41] Gnea: it has some kind of bulit in help... like the vim help [11:41] Bored26m: well can you think of any reason for it to stop working? Did you change anything? Install any updates? [11:41] but everyone knows the best editor is ED [11:41] -.- [11:42] I swear, one of these days I'm gonna break this netbook when I plug a usb device into the wrong port [11:42] i blew a usb port on mine once [11:42] good thing it has 3 lol [11:42] daedra: network stil not working?

[11:43] brb [11:43] jrib: I Did install a few things last night trying to look into my bios, uninstalled them all now, to no avail...and it worked fine last night After the installs...I did boot from a liveCD this morning that didn't register my wifi either, since Then its been off, but I didn't think a liveCD would actually make any changes to my system [11:43] benedict: nope [11:43] Bored26m: hmm, did the wifi used to work on the livecd? [11:43] help,i configured a vpn by following a tutorial and now that thing in the upper panel with the connections and stuff dissapeared!how can i get it back? [11:44] yay weechat [11:44] is there a way I can get NetworkManager to work from CLI? [11:44] jrib: no, this was the first time I'd used it, went into live versions of CentOS and sabayon [11:44] wpa_supplicant is misbehaving [11:44] daedra: yeah, nmcli is one way, there's also some curses interface I forget the name of [11:45] daedra: how are you diagnosing it?

I wanna see how weechat handles those [11:45] Gnea: dhclient does a DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 [11:46] Gnea: and fails to get a reply UP [11:46] Gnea: because that's not where my router is [11:46] daedra: aaah, yeah, I see that happen once in awhile... not sure why that is, but I find that if I reboot, it just works again [11:46] GunnDawg|WeeChat: i have to say in my opinion that weechat is slower than irssi [11:46] i use both [11:46] * daedra rolls eyes [11:46] anyone having problems with this plymouth update that just got pushed in lucid? [11:46] time ro reboot.. [11:46] * Gnea picks them up and hands them to daedra [11:46] user_friendly, how so?

[11:48] jrib: I'll try my usb dongle...but I assumed it was software because it usually asks me for my keyring before the desktop's fully loaded, but worth a try [11:48] daedra: yeah, sounds like something isn't lining up correctly. you're on 10.04, right? [11:48] daedra: don't you have a way to connect via cable? [11:49] mount -t nfs remoteshare name local share name -o no_root_squash doesn't work [11:50] dgx: if your using firefox beta it doesn't work but configing the web-browser to open the file up after download and having your favorite torrent client (like the great "Tixati") [11:50] firefox beta 4 [11:50] hm, i have two 10.04 setups. one with gnome, one minimal. the gnome one let's me play teeworlds perfectly fine, minimal does not (like 5 fps). what did i miss?

[11:57] Bored26m: hmm [11:57] benedict: what are you not convinced of me?...my question on your opinion on why ext3 vs ext4? [11:57] ubuntu should configure wifi for commandline through network manager [11:57] Bored26m: tried toggling it? [11:57] I know! [11:57] maybe that's a future feature idea [11:58] daedra: nmcli [11:58] anway..gunna restart with the usb dongle plugged in, see if that does anything [11:58] generate the right config file for starting wifi automatically using NetworkManager [11:58] jrib: yeah I know [11:58] jrib: but I would still have to configure it [11:59] NM should auto-make one from the GUI, so if your GUI dies, you still have net access [11:59] Us3r_Unfriendly: daedra: if you want to see here are the links: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/327693/ http://paste.pocoo.org/show/327696/ http://paste.pocoo.org/show/327697/ I'm clueless why it would say it's full [11:59] Us3r_Unfriendly: what i wanted to say is that ext4 caused me a lot of troubles while ext3 is doing good. this is why i recommend ext3 [11:59] daedra: i've never used nmcli, but I assume it's like clicking on the gui applet but running commands instead [12:00] grr [12:00] Us3r_Unfriendly: i am not sure of beiing convinced of you ... i barely know you ;) [12:00] i'm lost, who's having the issue? sacarlson or daedra ?

[12:10] that's why i switched after long time to ubuntu [12:10] I was just joshing around with death^ .. like base jumpers, and building climbers do, but I'll stop going off topic [12:10] hey download speed using ubuntu is half what i get when i download anything using windows why ? [12:10] first i tried debian 5.0 but i had problems with drivers [12:10] itguru hehe i can take jokes, don't worry [12:10] :) [12:10] Gnea: Yeah i have done that but I can't seem to find the connection icon in the upper panel!

[12:12] bazhang, sorry what is the topic again ? yesterday i smoked some kind of heavy buds, it was like rm -rf [12:12] eXpLoD: it's the network connection icon you were referring to [12:12] death^, stop that [12:12] death^: congrats, you know a command [12:12] !guidelines | death^ [12:12] death^: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [12:13] don't ppl here get kicked for revealing that command? [12:13] it dos not have that option,it's Called Network Connections [12:13] only if it has a certain argument [12:13] thauriswulfa: I don't see any package with that name but I do see php-mail so maybe sudo apt-get install php-mail [12:13] Gnea: you mean place in directory [12:14] eXpLoD: that is correct, so if you right-click on it and then on 'edit connections'... [12:14] Us3r_Unfriendly: pretty much [12:14] Gnea: the arguments are there, his way doesn't work though [12:14] sacarlson: thanx [12:14] s^: no probs at all [12:14] reboot sound and soft [12:14] Us3r_Unfriendly: right, but his attitude was off [12:14] 1484 users :O [12:14] daedra: back [12:15] Gnea: i think we're in the same boat on that [12:15] I dont have any edit connections,the icon in the panel was called Networ Manager,it was next to the sound icon [12:15] hello all! What do I do if dpkg --configure -a is fubar? [12:15] eXpLoD: well what options do you have when you right-click on it? [12:15] eXpLoD: got to commanline and type 'nm-applet' [12:16] eXpLoD: without the '' ofc ;) [12:16] vjacob: isn't foobar just an expression? [12:16] benedict: thanks so much! [12:17] is this the right place to ask a question about hardware compatibility? [12:17] vjacob: I guess I would need a clue as to what package name or names it was and how it might have happened [12:17] daveb_, check the hcl [12:17] "dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [12:17] !hcl | daveb_ [12:17] daveb_: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [12:17] "find: arithmetic overflow while converting 0 days to a number of seconds" [12:17] this is about Intel Ingrated Graphics [12:18] i couldn't find anything about it [12:18] can someone help me figure out how to make the subwoofer in my laptop work? [12:18] daveb_, which one [12:18] vjacob: normaly it gives the package name that it attempts to configure before that [12:18] initramfs-tools [12:18] I am considering building a new machine using i3 Clarkdale processor or i5 [12:18] peoples here have BNC's ? [12:18] eXpLoD: no problem ;) [12:18] bnc? [12:18] i want to know if there is any benefit from using integrated graphics [12:19] daveb_, not really , no [12:19] i hear that Ubuntu will work out of the box [12:19] this channel have a BNC's bots? [12:19] too bad the openvpn from their service is paid,only PPTP is free [12:19] daveb_: usually yes... also integrated is cheaper ;) [12:19] have a no real users? [12:19] bots.. [12:20] ignorance, try a channel on that. [12:20] benedict: im not running a budget but I hear that it will work better because the kernal supports it directly [12:20] benedict: whereas say Nvidia requires a propriatory driver [12:20] sacarlson: are there any general methods to "reset" in a situation like this? [12:20] anybody knows a free vpn working on ubuntu? [12:21] vjacob: I would first try to uninstall the package and reinstall it [12:21] benedict: my requirements are for building a development machine for programming java [12:21] argh. dhcpcd can't get me an IP either [12:21] sacarlson: tried that, will keep trying though [12:21] vjacob: I'm now researching it to see if others have such a problem [12:21] benedict: i want my machine to run smoothly and response to be instant [12:21] can someone help me figure out how to make the subwoofer in my laptop work? [12:21] so it's probably wpa_supplicant [12:21] anybody use joomla here? [12:21] daveb_: in that cas integrated is the best choice i think [12:21] BUT it's the same config that's working on Archlinux === behrooz is now known as B_Z [12:21] hmm [12:21] People ask that all users are real or are there bots? [12:22] this is bizarre [12:22] benedict: I want to build a machine that will be powerful enough to see me in development over next 5 years [12:22] vjacob: a complete --purge is what you want to try if posible === bnima is now known as e-anima [12:22] People ask that all users are real or are there bots? [12:22] daveb_: what type of development? [12:22] benedict: with the least amount of support [12:22] daveb_: Ray Tracing? [12:22] daedra: java programming, php, netbeans application, web server, mysql etc [12:22] say.. [12:22] sacarlson: it wont let me, perhaps because of other packages depencies [12:23] daedra: many shells [12:23] I want to know whether all are true [12:23] daedra: all about producing software [12:23] daveb_: ah for netbeans you'll want maybe 2GB RAM. That thing is bloated already [12:23] daveb_: and I don't see it getting slimmer [12:23] daedra: will having an integrated graphics like i3 clarkdale slow down the machine? [12:23] vjacob: what package is complaining that it needs it? [12:23] hi all [12:24] daedra: also, I might like multiple monitors are being able to rotate the screen to see the code full length [12:24] daveb_: hm... see. i use a netbook with 2GB ram and intel atom at 1.6GHz. using gnome is good, but with fluxbox it's frick'in snappy. so it depends... i think it is diffcult to make recommendation for the next 5 years [12:24] i believe i got that java virus from the pop-ups in piratebay.org [12:24] benedict: i want enough poke so there is minimal lag time for compiling, editing, file system etc [12:24] lol i was using that site to get a older version on ubuntu lol [12:25] Us3r_Unfriendly: ... [12:25] 192.168.1.2 [12:25] daveb_: i that case the grapics will eb your least problem... you'll need fast hard disks, fast cpu and fast/a lot of RAM [12:25] I uninstalled openoffice via the software center, but it still opens when I use the menu shortcut... [12:25] grr [12:25] *of ubuntu...ubuntu 4.10 [12:26] benedict: you mean having a separate graphics card like Nvdia [12:26] Us3r_Unfriendly: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ don't use it though, no support [12:26] why might dhcpcd be failing to get me an IP? [12:27] can someone try and diagnose my problem? [12:27] dhcpcd settles on 169.254.235.82 [12:27] daveb_: if you do programming/software development with no 3d-graphics in it, every intergrated card will me ok... even my Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller works fine on 2 monitors. but for compiling the power of your graphic card is not of importance.

[12:28] benedict: will it be best to choose a i5 with non-graphics support and an Nvidia graphics card [12:28] jrib: very true...but this was a test machine that didn't connect to the internet [12:29] ada yg tahu emulator untuk PS1 [12:29] !id | rahadian [12:29] rahadian: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [12:29] benedict: and will having integrated graphics onboard the icore CPU mean that the memory will be taken for rendering the LCD display?

[12:33] so, what bad things could i expect if i apt-get install upstart? as opposed to installing from source?

[12:42] hid3: you can try reading and parsing the ubuntu web page. since the release schedule is only known approximately a priori, it is difficult to establish programmatically. [12:43] hid3: you might try python or ruby instead of a shell script for the parsing bit, though. [12:43] hid3: instead of looking at the make etc, look at the components on the board to check compatibility [12:43] ikonia i wish you pleasant afternoon and thank you for kick-ban ;) [12:43] daveb_: instead of looking at the make etc, look at the components on the board to check compatibility [12:43] hid3: wrong target on that last one, sorry [12:44] ActionParsnip: most of the boards I saw had intel x58 stickers and seems up to date [12:44] ActionParsnip: is there anything in particular I should avoid [12:45] daveb_: that doesn't mean much. look at the sound chips and the network chips used etc [12:45] how can i easily setup internet connection sharing on my ubuntu laptop?

[13:09] CaBa: perhaps it checks to see what group they are in. users with sudo rights are in the admin group i recall. [13:09] ActionParsnip: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. === first is now known as ciaosijhasjsh [13:09] dubey: what command did you run? [13:09] Dr_Willis: what would be bad implementation, since also other users can be provided with sudo permissions [13:10] CaBa: sudo can be set for specific apps.. but thats not the default. [13:10] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/BYbnQLHa [13:10] CaBa: you can also set the pacakge manager to auto-update/upgrade - but thats not the default eitehr. [13:10] Dr_Willis: yes, for apps and also for users and groups != admin - and i wonder if the gui tool detects that [13:10] CaBa: try it and see i guess. [13:11] should i burn ubuntu to cd or dvd? because its 693 mb [13:11] Hmm.. updates want me to reboot... [13:11] thauriswulfa: thats a cd size image. [13:11] 700mb cd :) [13:11] Dr_Willis: thanx [13:12] dubey: that key is for http://download.opensuse.org [13:12] dubey: which uses RPM instead of DEB [13:13] Hi, I have a very strange NumLock behavior that I need help with. To use Delete to remove selected text (that has been selected with the keyboard) I have to either press NumLock, Delete, NumLock, Delete *or* Press Shift+Delete. This is very strange, and I need it fixed. It is only in gnome, in wmii it works fine. Any ideas? [13:13] dubey: why are you trying to use that repo? [13:15] ActionParsnip: It comes with auto update. how can i remove this [13:15] dubey: in /etc/apt/sources.list or in software-centre === rimen is now known as Rim3nX [13:16] hello [13:17] ActionParsnip: i have two list source.list & source.list.distUpgrade [13:17] irc.sofiabg.net - FreeNode #2 user's is FULL :| [13:17] irc.sofiabg.net - FreeNode #2 user's is FULL :| [13:17] i need some guidance in customizing ubuntu .

[13:25] hello [13:25] jrib: it just quits that command somehow, its debian .. :) [13:25] dupondje: actually, reading « man su » suggests -c bash won't work, ha [13:25] is there a way to move between workspaces in ubuntu using keys from keyboard ? [13:25] My network manager on the panal is gone. how do i get it back? alt + f2 and nm-applet ist now working [13:25] dupondje: yeah, the man page says -c will just be run by the shell set in /etc/passwd [13:25] Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 through VMWARE player and I want to ask whether it's possible to start a service and actually be able to use it in the host machine [13:26] How to mount a remote nfs share using the no_root_squash option?

[13:28] jrib: nope [13:28] jrib: it gives no error, but just throws me back to default shell [13:28] dupondje: give /bin/bash... [13:28] as non-root [13:29] dupondje: actually, continuing to read the man page, is scponly in /etc/shell? [13:29] hey [13:29] dupondje: /etc/shells* (typo in man page) [13:29] what's the difference between `export` and `declare -x` ?

[13:30] dupondje: you probably need to change the default shell for root then [13:30] scponly got removed, without changing the passwd file :( [13:30] jrib: true :) but thats the problem :) how ... :D [13:30] dupondje: the usual, boot a live cd, or use recovery mode from the grub menu [13:30] My network manager on the panal is gone. how do i get it back? alt + f2 and nm-applet ist now working. It's Ubuntu 10.10. [13:31] Hi, I want to check if a set of variables are SET in a shell script, but I am getting syntax errors.

[13:33] how can I test sound from CLI/ [13:34] Best way to sniff a IP-adress?? [13:34] daedra: heh, you should just use the live cd or recovery mode, but I'm thinking if you want to play a game, you could try using scp to overwrite the /etc/shells file with one that includes scponly, then use su - -s /bin/bash [13:35] fegennn - from what? [13:35] WHAT [13:35] 8F [13:35] degennnn: use tcpdump, filter the packets for the dhcp protocol. read address from DHCPOFFER packet. [13:35] daedra: erm, ignore that. [13:35] jrib: I just want to test some speakers [13:35] dupondje: heh, you should just use the live cd or recovery mode, but I'm thinking if you want to play a game, you could try using scp to overwrite the /etc/shells file with one that includes scponly, then use su - -s /bin/bash [13:35] jrib: :P [13:36] daedra: silly people with the same letters in their names... [13:37] sipior: I've tried tcpdump but it doesnt find my computer that is connected to my laptop [13:37] degennnn: you're not using it correctly, then.

[13:38] dhcp server should have some logs wouldent it? [13:39] degennnn: if your laptop served out the address, there should be a log of it. [13:39] degennnn: you might just try a broadcast ping, and see what responds. [13:39] sipior: Ok, isnt there any command to u know see all computers that i connected to my dhcp server? [13:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/558991/ guys check this i think there is some issue with my ubuntu [13:40] nmap the whole lan. :) [13:40] Bipul`: give a summary of the issue. and you may get more people looking at the post.

[13:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/558996/ i can not able to instal php5 libapache2-mod-php5 [13:56] damasceno: im not sure you can hide just samba shares. [13:57] Dr_Willis, that's what i need.:S [13:57] Just samba shares. :/ [13:57] it shows or hides 'mounted devices' and a samba share is just another mounted thing from its point of view [13:58] Just when the user access with nautilus: smb://192.168.1.10/WORK, he will access, but nautilus don't will show that in right side.

[14:00] i get good performance playing a video in totem, but not through firefox using the totem plugin, is this always going to be the case no matter what i use, worse performance through a plugin in firefox than through totem player? [14:00] Er, sorry, wrong channel! [14:00] I dont have add-apt-repository on 10.10 . Any idea how to install it or with what it was replaced? [14:01] Hey guys, I just deleted a file from my apache config (not essential) accidentally [14:01] !find add-app-repository [14:01] Package/file add-app-repository does not exist in maverick [14:01] so I tried apt-get remove apache2 [14:01] then apt-get install apache2 [14:01] It's a [X] at the "root"-dir [14:01] but the file is still missing [14:01] what does that mean? [14:01] sniperjo_: depends on the file type i assume, most videos are flash anyway and that works fine. but for other types i use mplayer and its performance i'd say its 'acceptable' [14:01] Hmm.. thats odd.. [14:01] even tried purging [14:01] I can reach "http://localhost/phpmyadmin" but i can not even reach there when i try to install [14:01] !find add-apt-repository [14:01] File add-apt-repository found in python-software-properties [14:01] any ideas? [14:01] aeon-ltd: mpeg, through the totem-firefox plugin [14:01] Hajuu: because that's not the package that owns the file. It's probably apache2.2-common, but use dpkg -S to verify [14:02] bbl. [14:02] let me relogin [14:02] sniperjo_: hmm, i'd say disable and try mplayer ffor a while [14:03] aeon-ltd: is mplayers browser plugin any good ? im trying to find the most comlient one [14:03] complient* [14:04] gah this sucks [14:04] sniperjo_, just make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed that will take care of most required browser plugins [14:04] sniperjo_: its ok, but i rarely watch quicktime or wmv videos, besides if i really wanted to i'd just save the video and watch it in mplayer locally or vlc [14:05] The following packages have been kept back: [14:05] linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic [14:05] how do I foce update?

[14:49] HiddenKnowledge: it pays to read the ffmpeg faq and docs at its homepage. They give lots of examples of its ussage. [14:49] Dr_Willis: I don't really need to know how to use it. [14:49] I never use it. [14:49] ryanX: then i've no idea, unless it only happens once you trigger something; though i'd say upgrade graphics drivers to latest and see if it changes [14:50] sipior: http://pastebin.com/dzgmv7JM [14:51] bonjoyee: Sorry, I don't know.

[14:52] benedict: well, it'd be useful to figure out why ConsoleKit isn't doing that for you.

[14:57] sipior: so now i am under fluxbox, but it is started from Ctrl-Alt-F1 [14:57] benedict: just add yourself to the audio group. consolekit is obviously not tracking your login from startx. [14:58] aptitude says this package is old and obsolete [14:58] Hello [14:58] skramer_: do you have any reason to not trust aptitude? [14:59] sipior: ok, i will try that again... it is vers strange, because on one plage ubuntu.com recommends adding yourself to audio group and on the nex link from that very site, they tell you not to do it :( [14:59] gpc: no, I have no reason. Just would like to ensure that it really is not needed any more [14:59] how can "grep" be used to search for multiple occurrence of a single word in a line? [14:59] gpc: and I wondered which other package might have replaced "hotkey-setup"... [15:00] skramer_: if aptitude tells you the package is obsolete then it is obsolete. trust your package manager. [15:00] sipior: if you have time/patience/knowledge ... what makes the difference from loggin in from a graphical login manager and the console? [15:00] benedict: you have an unusual (i.e. sans gnome and gdm) setup. [15:00] guys, how do i disable the x auto start, i jut want to stay in CLI when turn on my pc [15:00] metallico: disable gdm..

[15:01] hello [15:01] metallico: check /etc/init [15:01] sipior: i know... i was even thinking to go to debian - or arch/slax or even gentoo... i want to understand what's going on, and ubuntu sometimes does a really good job in hiding things from you [15:01] hey everyone [15:01] how to change irc server on smuxi irc client ? [15:01] i am not sure, i did this "sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove" but didnt help [15:01] metallico: what version of ubuntu? [15:01] gpc: ok, thank you:) [15:02] 10.10 [15:02] benedict: it does that to spare you wasting your time on a help channel getting your sound to work. i recognise the irony of the situation. [15:02] I'm trying to remove an old kernel. Is this safe? http://paste.ubuntu.com/559043/ [15:03] benedict: if you violate the assumptions made by the distro, you'll have to expect incompatibilities at some point. [15:03] note that i am using kdm, tried the same command but with kdm and it still didnt help [15:03] netw0rkbug: the command is /server irc.newserver.com also good idea to check the documentation for the client you re using. [15:03] benedict: there's nothing wrong with that, must it must be kept in mind. [15:04] anyone here that could help with vba-m emu .. trying to figure out how to get SDL - joystick working [15:04] * bonjoyee bye [15:04] sipior: i am not complaining in any way... i like the way ubuntu is meant to be... but 90% of the cool automatic stuff i never need... i am on a netbook === mauricio is now known as Guest36556 [15:04] sipior: and 10.10 doesn't work at all....

[15:24] EvilPhoenix: let me restart firefox and see [15:24] keyy: in Firefox that is prepackaged, (on 10.04 at least) you need sun-java6-plugin if you're using Sun Java [15:25] keyy: i just install ubuntu-restricted-extras package and it sets it all up. [15:25] I think. :) been a while.

I can't seem to check out the gitosis-admin branch here [15:28] cannot open it in gedit [15:28] Is there a way to make it so that the mouse cursor hides while I'm typing? [15:28] EvilPhoenix: let me try and restart [15:28] diecastarts: if its ment to be ran.. then it should be made executable [15:28] or can I open up a seperate window? [15:28] diecastarts: what exactly are you trying to run? [15:28] diecastarts: try 'file whateverfilename' and see what it says it is. [15:28] EvilPhoenix: can I open up a seperate firefox window? or Do I have to close this one [15:28] jccorrea bye [15:28] erm... [15:28] k thank you [15:28] if you're configuring Chrome...

I guess it's not doing it in my web browser. It seems to be doing it in xchat [15:29] savid: sounds like its a per-app setting. ive never noticed a global way to do it. [15:29] gianluca_: scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette [15:30] what are some good single-player fps ubuntu games? [15:31] open arena [15:32] Dr_Willis: I've just downloaded and installed geany. It doesn't help either : I can see the file content clearly but vim keeps on telling me it converted it to make it readable, though I've saved it with geany. [15:35] DannyButterman: tr -d '\0' newfile [15:37] Hello, I've installed a new plymouth theme but I can't get it to show on startup. Does that have something to do with my nvidia driver? [15:37] trying to install ubuntu 10 on LG laptop alongside vista - getting "stuck" half way before even getting to the Language/Keybord menu - CD stopes moving and there is an empty "spalsh screen" and no keys work [15:37] /Does/Might/ [15:37] DannyButterman: If it's a text file, it's unlikely to contain any \0s which are supposed to be there, so just remove them all with that tr. [15:37] yahriver: try testing the CD on another computer? [15:37] it workes fine [15:38] the ubuntu paste bin should be added to firefox bookmarks by default i think [15:38] I was somehow able to get to a menu that enabled "safe mode" but don't remmember how I got there [15:38] lazarus_, then windows users would be confused :) [15:38] coz_: i ment the ubuntu version of ff [15:39] Instead of pressing enter at the boot screen, try pressing up and down arrow keys to move around on the menu. I think that brings up a row of Fx-keys you can use for boot options. [15:39] lazarus_, I understand :) [15:39] thanks, I did that, none of the apparent options is "VGA safe mode or snything similar [15:40] coz how long has the ubuntu pastbin been around?

[15:50] eXpLoD: use nm-applet & to make the process run in background. [15:50] opa [15:50] SMarek: Hmm, OK. It seems like this would be a relatively small problem compared to the rest of your project, though. Is it possible to work without it for the time being? [15:50] hi [15:50] eXpLoD: The & will stop it getting closed when you shu the terminal [15:50] what does gwibber do? [15:50] please help me [15:50] xtc: just ask your question [15:50] Linuturk: dunno, but I was trying to remove the envelope icon after uninstalling gwibber and evolution. [15:50] thanks richardjh [15:50] how can i download video from youtube by ubuntu 10.10 ? [15:50] help me [15:51] please! [15:51] WhitePelican: it's a feed ... accumulator thing, I forget the word. Aggregator? [15:51] icedwate1: because the hardware / controller is only connectable this way, i can imagine the project but witrhout testing the right way [15:51] I thought gwibber was an IM program [15:51] richardjh: i didnt know & did such things hmm [15:51] :) [15:51] ohhhh [15:51] hidden files are shown with a dot preffix right? [15:51] gotcha [15:51] yeah [15:51] WhitePelican: gwibber is a program that allows you to post to sites such as facebook and twitter from your desktop. [15:51] .gnome [15:51] xtc, install youtube-dl [15:51] eXpLoD, yes [15:51] 10.04LTS server edition, /etc/init.d/networking gives me the ip address of the gateway, anyone know why or how?

[15:52] icedwate1: really? in /tmp that is nice to know. [15:52] icedwate1, mm not sure if they are hard coded or not [15:52] xtc: You could try youtube-dl, it didn't work for me though. [15:52] how can i arrange my icons in the panel so the space between 'em is even? [15:52] Dweezahr: that would probly be dhcp server with you getting an address with dhclient [15:52] Repgahroll: startx reads your .xinitrc if xinitrc starts gdm then edit xinitrc [15:52] icedwate1: no problem man, i dont argue , just looking for right smart person :) [15:53] Hello, does anyone happen to know if there is a version of the "cosmos" screensaver that looks better on high resolution displays? my native resolution is 1650x1050 [15:53] aeon-ltd, thank you!

[15:53] eXpLoD, you can upload to picpaste.com [15:53] icedwate1, mmm [15:53] scarlson, no experience with dhcpd on linux, only bsd, how to configure it? [15:53] bbl...more stuff to do [15:53] can i install youtbe dl in teminal by this command '' sudo apt-get install youtube-dl'' it will work in terminal ? [15:53] icedwate1, remove the notificaontion area and then right click the panel Add to panel Notification area [15:54] what dose shu stand for [15:54] Dweezahr: that would depend on what you are connecting to [15:54] xtc: Yup, or try to search for it using Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center. [15:54] Thank you for help ;) [15:54] aeon-ltd, there's no .xinitrc on my system, only xinitrc @ /etc/X11/xinit [15:54] thnk you very much ;) [15:54] picpaste link: http://picpaste.com/scrnshot-w3WBmePZ.png [15:54] Dweezahr: normaly by default we use network-manager icon at the top of the control pannel to select a method on connection [15:55] sacarlson, the ubuntu 10.04 is just a client in the network, it is supposed to have 172.28.1.228, but it starts with 172.28.1.1 when running /etc/init.d/networking restart, it gets the right ip [15:55] Repgahroll: then its reading the system one then [15:55] coz_: Heh, OK... though now my volume control seems to have disappeared. Or I've just forgotten whether it was there in the first place. [15:55] have anyone here you terminal for programming ? [15:55] sudo apt-get remove pebkac_icedwater [15:55] has* [15:55] sacarlson, there seems to be no dhcpd installed === nox_ is now known as nox6 [15:55] aeon-ltd, and where is it? [15:55] van7hu: Terminal for programming? [15:55] Just use vim and makefiles? :P [15:55] what does shu stand for === denny is now known as D [15:56] lol [15:56] Repgahroll: you just wrote it [15:56] my panel icons are uneven,how can i arrange them?picture here : http://picpaste.com/pics/scrnshot-w3WBmePZ.1296143696.png [15:56] icedwate1, make sure you hae the in dicator applet there as well [15:56] Dweezahr: I'm not sure what changes you have made and if you have it setup as ip static [15:56] icedwate1:yes [15:56] =/ aeon-ltd. okay thank you [15:56] coz_: Yup, re-added. It's still there though. [15:56] icedwate1:do you think it's easy ? [15:56] eXpLoD, are you using talika? [15:56] sacarlson, it is a static ip in the network, but I have not configured it to be static on the 172.28.1.228 [15:56] yo [15:56] van7hu: You need to get used to it, just as with anything else. [15:56] i dont even know what talika is [15:57] icedwate1, I am puzzled then sorry [15:57] Dweezahr: no by default we don't use dhcpd we use dhclient eth0 that does about the same thing [15:57] eXpLoD, I see you have icons on the panel instead of the window list [15:57] sacarlson, my config: /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto br100 iface br100 inet dhcp bridge_ports eth0 bridge_stp off bridge_maxwait 0 bridge_fd 0 [15:57] eXpLoD, or are these launchers there ? [15:57] geirha: "tr -d '\0' newfile" works fine, as long as i don't try it within my PHP code. Security settings forbid me to execute this tr command once the file is uploaded. I must be missing something, uploading a text file should be painless, whatever web client one have (Windows, linux...) [15:58] when the next version release? [15:58] yea these are launchers,i just right clicked some of them from the application tab and add to panel them [15:58] did i get caught in a netsplit? [15:58] dunno [15:58] van7hu, I use vim in a terminal for programming. [15:58] eXpLoD, if they are indeed launchers ,, right click each ,, untick lock to panel and move them with left click hold I believe [15:58] coz_: thanks though, almost made me slap my forehead :P [15:58] Dweezahr: well that's not standard and apears you have some kind of a bridge thing going on [15:58] when the next version release 11.04? [15:58] icedwate1, it worked for you? [15:58] sacarlson, correct [15:58] sacarlson, that seems to be needed for openstack [15:59] icedwate1, oh I see :) [15:59] i cannot the space is still uneven [15:59] coz_: No, it didn't, that's why the almost. [15:59] :) [15:59] Toiletbowl: 04 == april ; 11 == 2011 [15:59] Dweezahr: so what is it you want or don't have? [15:59] icedwate1, you can reset gnome to defaults if you like [15:59] DannyButterman: I've seen files like that before, where each byte is padded with nulls. That was from some powerscript that queried an AD. I don't think the html upload is adding those, they're already in there. [15:59] icedwate1, sudo rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity then restart X [15:59] richard_jh: what if you only use terminal ? [16:00] Hmm [16:00] sacarlson, when booting I get 172.28.1.1 as ip address and I cannot find out why, when running /etc/init.d/networking restart I get 172.28.1.228 as ip address from the dhclient on br100 [16:00] just tried to install ubuntu 10 on LG laptop alongside my visat tried advice I got on the forum of pressing shift though boot to get to where I can press e to get boot options in order to allow "safe mode" or some type of pure VGA mode It only led me to the "noraml" boot options with all the F1-F6 keys - those do not have any such options for VGA safe mode etc So same thing happens, I get an empty "splash screen" with only mouse mo [16:00] would you say evolution mail is very similar to ms outlook [16:00] I am having a very hard time to get lamp to function properly, I had it installed correctly for 2 years and my problems all started when i added php5-pgsql extension it wiped all my access to mysql, with no drivers being being usable, so from that point i have attempted to remove and reinstall lamp 5 times all failing @ 77% [16:00] /clear/user [16:00] sacarlson, I would like to have 172.28.1.228 when booting [16:00] when i force quit it for the final time it left aptitude locked so i ran the commands to finish configuring all aptitude commands and they completed successfully but upon safe-upgrade and a reboot there is no mysql, php or anything running from the lamp package, I check the error logs and the only warnings i am getting is that mcrypt and the so's for pgsql are missing but it does not say it failed to load ? Wh [16:00] is there an option to arrange my panel launchers so the space between them is even? [16:00] yahriver: whats your video chipset? [16:00] Dweezahr: I would need a pastebin of /etc/network/interfaces [16:00] GeekMan, i would say "all" mail clients are a bit freaky [16:00] coz_: Bit too drastic for my needs :) I can live with it, just better to be gone with it. === D is now known as D- [16:00] Gfource [16:00] GeekMan, but evolution does have outlook compatibility I believe [16:01] hello people [16:01] yahriver: try the 'nomodeset' option. (its in the F6 menu item i recall() [16:01] icedwate1, its not the big of a deal really just reset gnome to defaults [16:01] Dweezahr: ok then you will need to modify /etc/network/interfaces to match that [16:01] well i mean im tring to sync my google calender with evolutions calender [16:01] i need a litle help hehe.... [16:01] yahriver: for all my nvidia systems - I have to use 'nomodeset' untill i get the nvidia drivers installed. [16:01] what does the nomodset option do? [16:01] !nomodeset [16:02] fixs some nvidia/X/plymouth issue as far as i can tell. [16:02] Dweezahr: and I assume from what little I could see that you want that on eth0 [16:03] hey can anyone help i accidentally took the chat menu from the panel and im lookin were it says add to panel but i couldnt find it is there a way to set it to deault? [16:03] sacarlson, when running /etc/init.d/networking restart the br100 gets the 172.28.1.228 ip address and then things work correctly [16:03] geirha: but strange enough, the same file looks fine in vim on my ubuntu client, though vim report it as 'converted' (from what ? it doesn't tell) ; Once I upload it on the Debian server through this web form, I see these odd characters in it when I open it with vim (on the Debian box of course) [16:03] !resetpanel | joe_happy [16:03] joe_happy: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [16:03] ok will try the nomodeset and get back [16:03] sacarlson, http://pastebin.com/e6mET0G8 [16:03] thank you [16:03] yahriver: disables the not so new kernel modesetting infrastructure that free drivers like intel radeon and noveau use [16:03] Dweezahr: yes eth0 has no address when it is part of a bridge only the bridge has an address [16:03] DannyButterman: :set fileencoding [16:04] yahriver, well I believe it turns off the video mode setting into the kernel.. the hardware specific click rates and registers on the video card happen in the kernel during itiial boot rather than in the X driver [16:04] is there an option to arrange my panel launchers so the space between them is even?i really need to fix this.Pic: http://picpaste.com/pics/scrnshot-w3WBmePZ.1296143696.png [16:04] acually it may be impossible xD [16:04] sacarlson, the br100 get the 172.28.1.1 [16:04] DannyButterman: That should tell you what encoding vim detected the file to have. [16:05] Dweezahr: a bridge won't work alone I don't see any ethX brigde to it [16:05] yahriver, so it should keep the kernel out of the video mode business so the binary nvidia driver can then do mode setting when x starts [16:05] how do i force kill a defunct/zombie process? tried "killall PID" but it is still eating the CPU :s [16:05] yahriver, no no conflicting drivers can be loaded [16:05] memory usage alone dropped.. [16:05] kill -9 PID [16:06] is it possible to launch qt4 themed windows in twm? [16:06] Dr_Willis: yea, that dint help either.. [16:06] Dweezahr: if you don't have any other ethernet devices and have no plan to bridge them then you can delete you br100 device [16:06] oxygen or something [16:06] evilvish: a zombie process can not be killed becouse it is already death [16:06] evilvish: sometmes the only way of getting read o them is by rebooting [16:06] Repgahroll: they would use the twm window decorations.. but qt4 stuff inside id think. [16:06] thank you [16:06] 'zombies eats your brainz' :) [16:06] sacarlson, it is lateron created by openstack [16:06] geirha: thank you ! So now I know it's utf-16le. [16:07] Dr_Willis, thanks [16:07] evilvish: sometimes you can get read of them killing the parent if it is still around [16:07] Dweezahr: I don't care what creates it what hardware do you plan to use to use it [16:07] !botsnack [16:07] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [16:07] All right, ciao folks. [16:07] I am having a very hard time to get lamp to function properly, I had it installed correctly for 2 years and my problems all started when i added php5-pgsql extension it wiped all my access to mysql, with no drivers being being usable, so from that point i have attempted to remove and reinstall lamp 5 times all failing @ 77% [16:07] when i force quit it for the final time it left aptitude locked so i ran the commands to finish configuring all aptitude commands and they completed successfully but upon safe-upgrade and a reboot there is no mysql, php or anything running from the lamp package, I check the error logs and the only warnings i am getting is that mcrypt and the so's for pgsql are missing but it does not say it failed to load ? Wh [16:07] erUSUL: ah! the dreaded re-boot :( .. yea, that was the only thing that could fix it last time i had the issue.. will reboot thanks.. :) [16:08] Dweezahr: I guess I now need pastebin ifconfig [16:09] sacarlson, http://pastebin.com/225p1N7P [16:09] sacarlson, this was after boot and /etc/init.d/networking restart [16:09] when booting it looks different [16:09] dominicdinada: Have you tried doing a dist-upgrade/full-upgrade ? [16:10] lmao new>calendar>google XP [16:10] Pici: no i have not 10.04 still btw, although this last update installed the latest kern i believe [16:10] its one of those days [16:10] how can i check the sendmail queue? [16:10] Dweezahr: ok so now I see things that could be bridged is that what you really want to have virbr0 vlan100 and eth0 bridged? [16:10] dominicdinada: A dist-upgrade will not upgrade you to a new release of Ubuntu. [16:10] !dist-upgrade | dominicdinada [16:10] dominicdinada: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. Please see !upgrade for the proper way to upgrade to a new version of Ubuntu. [16:11] sacarlson, it is required because openstack will create a new virtual network for the nodes of the cloud [16:11] rich_, mailq [16:11] Dweezahr: I would or you should research bridge tools [16:11] Pici: i did not install a new dist, nor do i care to move to 10.10. . and i am well aware of safe upgrade [16:12] rich_, Or sendmail -bp [16:12] hey can any one explain to the about installing themes like whats metacity and whats gtk1 and gtk2??

[16:13] well i cant do it manually [16:13] educacao [16:14] dominicdinada: A dist-upgrade will not upgrade you to 10.10. [16:14] i'm here (http://upstart.ubuntu.com/index.html) where can i find a list of all directives for an upstart script? the wiki seems more technical and doesn't help:( [16:14] hey guys... i'm running ubuntu 10.10 in a vmware VM. every time a suspend it and resume it, the network connection is lost.. so i went to System > Administration > Additional Drivers, and i deactivated the driver, closed the window, brought it up again, activated the driver again, and the connection is re-established.. i was wondering if there was a way to do this from a terminal, any ideas? === D- is now known as denny [16:15] but to the point, what i want to know is if there is respawn keyword, i've seen hints on other sites but i can't find one in the upstart page or man page [16:15] hmm [16:15] eXpLoD, look for something named "quick-loungh-applet" you may have to download and install [16:16] sacarlson, uncommenting the auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp now let it work [16:16] Pici: another note is i get a warning in the logs about utf8_general_ci not being a default charset lol [16:16] eXpLoD, http://quick-lounge.sourceforge.net/ [16:16] of mysql [16:16] Dweezahr: I'm not sure you have the other devices already bridged but that might be a start [16:16] dominicdinada: Looks like you're getting help in #ubutu-server [16:17] question, I am using empathy, in the rooms is their any way to disable the showing of people joining or leaving the room? [16:18] coz_:I have installed it,now what can i do to start it? [16:18] hunterkasy: Can you send "/chanopt confmode on" without the quotes [16:19] hunterkasy: Did that work for you? === wema|off is now known as wemaflo [16:19] Dweezahr: I would need to see brctl show if you have anything setup as bridged [16:19] Dweezahr: see man brctl [16:19] eXpLoD, hold on let me compile [16:19] chanopt confmode on [16:20] sacarlson, I will ask the developers about this, I have to go now [16:20] hi [16:20] sacarlson, thanks for the effort [16:20] You need to put "/" in front [16:20] Dweezahr: no problem good luck [16:20] hunterkasy: You need a "/" in front [16:20] is there a way to clear the current file operations? sometimes copying files will fail and the operation won't go away [16:20] it says unknown command: /chanopt confmode on [16:20] sacarlson, definitly good luck, it seems pre alpha, but bye === Galindar is now known as Guest93159 [16:21] i had a problem that sound is not working in my notebook pc hp g72 notebooth ubuntu 10.o4k pc wi [16:21] hunterkasy: I dunno then. :( [16:21] Hi all.. [16:21] any one help me [16:21] Is it possible to set a logrotate config to only send a signal and not do anything with the log file? [16:21] hunterkasy: it may be a plugin for the client. many IM clients are poor IRC clients [16:21] s/set/setup [16:21] I had success foloing an advice from this chanel, using the F6 key and selecting one of the options, nomode sumthing, to help with VGA problem [16:22] it got me as far as teh first forward buttin - but no more [16:22] where does firefox store cookies? [16:22] eXpLoD, it should be under the right click of panel "Add to panel" if it is not ..restart x and check again [16:22] in sound preferences in input option ther is no connector button available [16:22] brahmana: logrotate -d [16:22] the forward buttin was not enabled [16:22] ubuntu 10 alopngside vista [16:23] Hey. I wanted to know that it is possible to use several times a CD of Ubuntu received ? [16:23] hunterkasy: I agree with Dr_Willis. [16:23] bonjoyee: no, not as a one off action. I want it to just send a signal every time it has to rotate that particular log file, but do not do anything to the file as such. [16:23] R3k: huh? [16:23] coz_: I can't seem to find it there [16:23] R3k, use the same cd to install on many computers? [16:23] brahmana: oh..i see.. [16:23] Yeah [16:23] eXpLoD, did you restart x and check again? [16:23] R3k: yes [16:23] yes, use as much as you want [16:23] This is for mongodb, which rotates it's own files when USR1 is sent. [16:24] R3k: I would even say you are encouraged to do so. [16:24] R3k: i preffer to use a bootable usb drive [16:24] But why they call this "ONE PC EDITION" ? [16:24] R3k: fits nicely on a keychain ;) [16:24] brahmana: do does rsyslog rotate it as well? [16:24] is there a way to clear the current file operations? sometimes copying files will fail and the operation won't go away. <= does this question make sense? [16:24] R3k: Its not 'ONE' Its UNE, which stands for Ubuntu Netbook Edition. [16:24] so in short, my initial setup problem with VGA while installing ubuntu 10 alongside visat on LG laptop with Nvidia chipset was solved by an option of the F^ key, during boot, but I only got as far as the first check boxes, I was able to connect to wireless, but teh first "forward" button to begin install didn't work [16:24] plz help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [16:25] bonjoyee: Sorry.. did not understand that. [16:25] coz_ : restart x?what is that?i have to restart my pc? [16:25] yvkrishna: What's your question... ? [16:25] i mean when i drag and drop from ftp for example.. and the file operation doesn't complete, it stays there in file operations [16:25] is there a way to clear that? [16:25] without rebooting [16:26] eXpLoD, not exactly dont do anything until i finishe..... first hit ctrl+alt+F1,,,, login then type sudo restart gdm [16:26] Oh ok ! Thanks you :) [16:26] i mean sound is not working thru internal speakers [16:26] brahmana: the system program that rotates the logs...does it rotate the logs for it as well? [16:26] HiddenKnowledge, i mean sound is not working thru internal speakers [16:26] any help with how to get install to not get "stuck"? [16:26] R3k: Who calls it One PC Edition? You are legally entitled and encouraged to copy, share, and redistribute the CD, for yourself and your friends. [16:27] Ok ! Thanks ;) [16:27] yvkrishna: Ok, wait for someone that can help you. If they want too or know the answer they will. [16:27] bonjoyee: umm.. no. It has support for rotating its own logs on receiving a USR1 signal, but there is no way to configure it to do at regular intervals. [16:27] kk [16:28] coz_ : you just scared the shit out of me,it opened a terminal window [16:28] would love to get some help on getting ubunto 10 install not to stop halfway - thanks [16:28] yahriver: specs? [16:28] so in short, my initial setup problem with VGA while installing ubuntu 10 alongside visat on LG laptop with Nvidia chipset was solved by an option of the F^ key, during boot, but I only got as far as the first check boxes, I was able to connect to wireless, but teh first "forward" button to begin install didn't work [16:28] bonjoyee: I want the logrotate's feature of deciding whether to rotate a logfile based on either time or size of the file, but the rotation action should just be sending USR1 to the mongoDB process. [16:28] eXpLoD, yes you log in there then type sudo restart gdm [16:29] eXpLoD, I am going to restart X here to test this applet [16:29] yahriver: did you checksum the iso? [16:29] does anyone know where I can find the link to receive a cd of xubuntu ? [16:29] yep [16:29] update server down? [16:29] R3k: download it is easier [16:29] !shipit | R3k [16:29] R3k: Shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org - Shipit will send !Maverick (10.10) CDs [16:29] R3k: theres no shipit for xubunth that i know of. [16:29] is there a way to install vlc 1.1 on 10.04 LTS (not installing from ppa) ? [16:30] Freyr: compile the source... [16:30] is it better to try the USB option? [16:30] Freyr: ppa would be easier. [16:30] ok this is what I thought [16:30] yahriver: installing from a usb can be MUCH faster then from cd. [16:30] R3k, might be best to d/l the files from ubuntu's mirrors [16:30] yahriver: are you able to "try ubuntu" before installing? [16:30] R3k: Depends where in the world you are. See http://xubuntu.org/get [16:30] did not try that [16:30] yahriver: i use usb, but either way is the same [16:30] I tried but it returns me to a page of ubuntu [16:30] you mean the same problem should happen weather on USB or CD? [16:31] R3k: Outside USA, you need http://on-disk.com/product_info.php/products_id/872 [16:31] yahriver: see if trying it first works.. i've ran into a similar problem when trying to install right away [16:31] possible for ubuntu and kubuntu but not xubuntu [16:31] yahriver: the same problem shouldn't happen either way.. but stuff happens [16:31] given taht shipit can take a few weeks to get there... [16:31] hi everybody! I made a very silly mistake and removed nouveau driver. now i cant open ubuntu. any suggestions? [16:31] dr_willis: thank. you are right. [16:31] R3k: Got the link I posted? [16:31] will trying it enable me to dl some VGA drives which will then be somehow added into the ubuntu ACTUAL install? [16:32] Using Lubuntu. Im trying to conect my laptop to the tv. Where do I find those video settings? [16:32] is there a way to clear the current file operations? sometimes copying files will fail and the operation won't go away. [16:32] *thank you. [16:32] Oh yeah thanks richardjh [16:32] hey i need some helo with the terminal when i type any command and it ask for my password y type it and then it says command not found and dosnt ask for my password again when i type the comand again just command not found [16:32] yahriver: doubtfully [16:32] :) [16:32] yahriver: I'm not sure but it doesn't sound like an install problem but a wifi conectivity to the internet problem no? [16:32] yahriver: with a usb install and a persiostant save. you can tweak the install usb a little bit. but that wont isntall the things you added by default. [16:32] joe_happy: so the problem is? [16:32] programs run through vnc crash but locally on the machine are fine. any ideas? [16:33] yahriver: if you tell ubuntu to not install updates or enable the 3rd party repos. it wont need the internet to install. (but wont be as up to date) [16:33] sacarlson: sounds like he can connect but can't proceed with the install [16:33] ok, no problem with wife though - it connected fine after following teh F6 and using the nomodeset something option [16:33] ChipCherou: open a terminal on vnc desktop, run app. look for errors. [16:33] yahriver: what are your specs? [16:33] system specs [16:33] yahriver: nomodeset would be for video drivers Id think. not wireless.. [16:33] nobody can help me? [16:33] well i dont knoe if the command is wrong and well i dont think so but it does not install what im triying to instal [16:33] Dr_Willis, I don't get much back for errors. but gimmie a sec [16:33] the command im using is [16:34] i take it there's no answer to my question :) it's a mild annoyance at worst [16:34] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alecive/antigone && sudo apt-get update [16:34] yahriver: I wondered the secret of a happy marriage. Use nomodeset and no problem with the wife :) [16:34] I made a very silly mistake and removed nouveau driver. now i cant open ubuntu. any suggestions? [16:34] LG LGr8 laptop with ubuntu 10 LTS and regular same problem - Nvidia chipset [16:34] still a noteworthy bug though [16:35] fubby you would mention wife - my wife is just asking me to let the cimputer go and take her shopping :) [16:35] *funy [16:35] *funny [16:35] cihhan, can you get to a tty prompt , ctrl+alt+f1 or f2 [16:35] goltoof: yahriver: maybe they don't know how to get the system specs? try lshw | pastebinit [16:35] i can get updates or software download to download anything [16:35] hi. how do install ubuntu on encrypted LVM ? is that option somewhere in the installation process? [16:35] sacarlson: i think he needs to get ubuntu running before he can lshw :P [16:36] again, the problem was not with wifi but with VGA I think but the above solution of the f6 key only took me so far and no more [16:36] BluesKaj, it didnt work, but leet me try again [16:36] biiter: yes there's an option to encrypt your home drive [16:36] goltoof: true maybe just lspci then? [16:36] anyone have experience with StrongSWAN? [16:36] biiter: all you need really [16:36] is anyone a gtk themer here? i need some help [16:36] sacarlson: ... [16:36] eXplod: Yes. Dot denotes hidden files (and folders) [16:36] hello all:) [16:36] oops i can't get updates or software download to download anything [16:37] eXpLoD, did you find it? [16:37] could be that if I don't select the 3rd party and download options while installing - would be better chance? [16:37] goltoof: i want to encrypt the / root also [16:37] yahriver: once again, i'd "try" it before installing [16:37] coz_:is it named the same(lounge applet)? [16:37] BluesKaj: wow somehow it started working... =) [16:37] eXpLoD, no its not [16:37] can settup vnc on xubuntu [16:37] biiter: what for? curious [16:37] but how is it called then? [16:37] eXpLoD, I dont recall the name but look for an applet who's icons has four objects on it [16:37] goltoof: secret stuff :) [16:37] wizardslovak: why? [16:37] cihhan, what started working ? [16:38] ok - will "try" it and then see thanks [16:38] biiter: secrets best kept in home folder, imho [16:38] yahriver: good luck [16:38] yahriver: ya for sure I try to just get a basic X system running then upgrade to propriatary video drivers and things later [16:38] BluesKaj: I can open my ubuntu! somehow, after asking you it started working [16:38] di u do some kind of magic =) [16:38] goltoof: wel.. log's aren't in /home.. configs.. etc.. [16:38] eXpLoD, just heads up...this applet will not work on the next release of ubuntu ...at least at this point it wont [16:38] where would i d/l the archived packages / repositories for 6.06 ? [16:38] bonjoyee, well i can connect with ssh , but cant use vnc [16:39] rtdos: They have gone now. [16:39] wizardslovak: what vnc server? is it running? [16:39] how do i add a new launcher? [16:39] rtdos: I think that at end of life for 6.06 [16:39] how do i log out of root in the terminal? [16:39] eXpLoD, click one in the list and then click "Add" [16:39] joe_happy: exit [16:39] joe_happy, exit [16:40] lol thank you [16:40] np [16:40] aren't they archive anywhere, richardjh? sacarlson: i know it's EOL for 6.06 but this machine is low, low specs: 128Meg RAM 700MHz Celeron and 12G HD === elementz_ is now known as elementz [16:40] bonjoyee, well i see it has "remote desktop viewer" and [16:41] rtdos: for that, i would look at either Lubuntu or aptosid [16:41] rtdos: old-releases.ubuntu.com? [16:41] rtdos: 6.06 is not EOL yet. [16:41] rtdos: there are other distrubutions that support stuf like that I think like puppy [16:41] !6.06 | rtdos [16:41] rtdos: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) was the fourth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on July 14th 2009, Server support will end in June 2011. See !upgrade for upgrade instructions [16:41] when I try to preseed mini.iso it tries to download in unstable instead of lucid, does that ring a bell to anyone ? [16:41] wizardslovak: are you logged into ubuntu? [16:41] Pici: desktop is over [16:41] bonjoyee, well both machiens are xubuntu and yes , i am logged to both of them [16:41] !truecrypt | biiter [16:41] biiter: Truecrypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume [16:41] KM0201: I was under the impression that the packages were still online though. [16:42] wizardslovak: any error message on the vnc client? [16:42] Pici: hmm, they might be, but not that i'm aware of... i'd look at upgrading it before i tried holding together 6.06. [16:42] ubottu: thx [16:42] biiter: in essence you need to encrypt the whole partition [16:42] rtdos: you might also want to look at crunchbang linux. [16:42] Can I get thr truth? Is wine safe to run?? will the windows virus effect linux or no [16:43] crunchbang linux? googling it now, KM0201 [16:43] bonjoyee, well as soon as i click connect i get "connection to host was closed" [16:43] rtdos: it's basically ubuntu, w/ openbox GUI... [16:43] what's aptosid, KM0201 ? [16:43] goltoof: yes.. something like debian/centos/... does except the /boot.. don't need that encrypted [16:43] Dr_Willis, TY for having me do that again, last night it only gave me 2 lines of errors. today I got a lot. [16:43] punjo: they may ..just inside your home folder [16:43] punjo: it should only effect the wine side of your ubuntu [16:43] rtdos: debian sid, w/ xfce GUI... very small and fast (but not as friendly as ubuntu..) [16:43] cool, i'll check it out. is there a way to install it on my current machine KM0201? [16:43] Crashing under seperate vnc. heres log of example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559091/ [16:43] http://pastebin.com/vF2jtw99 [16:43] biiter: ubottu is a bot. Not a real person. [16:43] rtdos: aptosid? [16:44] <^mNotIntelligent> what is the irc for ubuntu classroom chat ? [16:44] Pici: i see now :) [16:44] wizardslovak: firewall running on that machine? how are the two machines commected? [16:44] connected* [16:44] via router [16:44] ^mNotIntelligent: #ubuntu-classroom [16:44] ^mNotIntelligent, not sure are you on xchat? [16:44] sacarlson: it cant put a virus that will disable your pc? [16:44] rtdos: answer your PM, so we don't go offtopic here in the channel [16:44] sacarlson: or damage its registry [16:45] bonjoyee, via router [16:45] punjo: your wine might have a registry but I don't see how that can effect the operation of ubuntu [16:45] hello [16:45] bonjoyee, i got ports opened on both machines [16:45] bonjoyee, port 22 [16:46] so sacarlson you are suggesting its safe to use in that case? [16:46] i need some help in installing 10.10 netbook by removing /boot and / partitions created yesterday for 10.04 [16:46] iiname: so delete them.. [16:46] punjo: worst case it might mess up one users account, have another user account or create a new one and move on [16:46] yes Dr-Wills [16:46] iiname: or tell the installer to use the, and reformat them. [16:46] I need some help onthat [16:47] Not much need for a /boot/ these days [16:47] anyone have any insight on a new system that is rebooting during a rsync to my softraid array, I can't find anything in /var/log/debug /var/log/kern.log [16:47] i went about creating /boot / /swap etc methodically [16:47] this is brand new hardware [16:47] punjo: you can still loose all data and software in your wine software same as loosing everything in your windows [16:48] i wonder if the installtion process allows removing /boot and / only [16:48] sacarlson: right [16:48] iiname: repartion the hd. delet them. resize the others.. [16:48] Can anyone assist me in getting Linux back? I had winsucks installed on one hd and Linux on the second HD. Win crashed and I had to re-install and now I cannot get back in Linux. I am running Linux from the Live CD I installed from. [16:48] sacarlson: but it shouldn't effect the ubuntu system files right' [16:49] punjo: you as an admin can make anything posible so I can't say never [16:49] can anybody help me,at startup,conky doesnt fit the screen,but if i do killall conky and then conky it fits properly,pic: http://postimage.org/image/a3wo1slg/ [16:49] Daniel: maybe use a live disc to restore the MBR [16:49] Daniel: no option to boot linux in bootloader? [16:49] process 274 glib waring getpwuid r failed due to unknown user id [16:49] Daniel: you probably just need to reinstall grub.... probably be easiest to reinstall grub too the linux hard drive, so this doesn't happen in the future (and then set the linux hard drive to be first in the boot sequence) [16:49] stdin error 0 [16:49] !grub2 | Daniel [16:49] Daniel: 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 [16:49] iiname: do as Dr_Willis suggested.

[16:51] Windows just gets worse and worse every new version. [16:51] what does tty mean? [16:51] hi, whats a good way to reinstall perl and remove all the cpan stuff i installed [16:51] Haven't liked Win after 98. [16:51] iRTermitel, while booting live usb, the netbook hangs for a f1 prompt, reports some errors, possibly there is some corruption in the process of installing and FULLY updating 10.04 [16:51] if i recall correcrtly.. i am able to set the LVM encription in text mode installer.. but not in graphic installer.... [16:51] or am i better off doing a OS reinstall [16:51] what do I type in terminal to get wine [16:52] is it apt-get download wine? [16:52] Daniel: Read the link ubottu gave you. [16:52] hi everybody! [16:52] how do i force CD installer to run in text mode? [16:52] should i use the entire hard disk, clean it up or clean up ( remove) /boot and / only? [16:52] hello the ubuntu update for pidgin im is broken is there a fix for it yetr [16:52] Daniel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub specifically. [16:52] bittin: the live cd does not install n text mode... [16:52] !alternate | bittin [16:52] bittin: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [16:52] eXpLoD: short for "teletype", iirc.

[16:54] can i somehow disable this messages with xy left the room etc(i use pidgin) [16:54] that is a good idea [16:55] but automanage does not create swap [16:55] eXpLoD: yes, use a real IRC client :) [16:55] eXpLoD: i think its in the settings or a plugin for pidgin. [16:55] like what? [16:55] i installed 10.04 in one or two machines, one hangs, possibly because there is inadequate swap [16:55] eXpLoD: i suggest using a dedicated irc client likd xchat, or weechat [16:55] so created partitions step by step [16:55] eXpLoD, I think we had this earlier. Try "/chanopt confmode on" without the quotes. [16:55] will use the entire disk and create partitions manually [16:55] <^mNotIntelligent> Hello Pici, I thought there is some ubuntu packaging related training /MOTU scheduled for now, but it looks like some other topic is being discussed there [16:55] iiname: automatic partioning should make a swap partition. [16:56] btw.. is there a fix for usb installer to write the GRUB on the correct disk? [16:56] eXpLoD, konversation ftw [16:56] If it doesn't work use xchat or live with it. [16:56] iiname: if theres nothing on the HD you want to keep. You can just tell it to auto partiion. but that will just make a / and /swap i think. [16:56] richardjh: unknown command [16:56] <^mNotIntelligent> Pici, any idea where can I get the proper training schedules ? thanks in advance [16:56] biiter: if you use the "advanced" partition tool when you partition your drive, you can manually tell the installer where to install grub. [16:56] iiname: how big of a hard drive is this anyway? [16:56] thanks Dr_Willis, i will choose auto, is there an option to use half of the available disk space [16:56] 120 gb [16:57] eXpLoD: There's your answer. Or use another client. [16:57] KM0201: great, thx [16:57] ^mNotIntelligent: http://people.ubuntu.com/~nhandler/classroom.html , also #ubuntu-classroom-chat may be helpful in the future :) [16:57] iiname: never notic3ed. - I would set up a / of like 20gb, and home of like 99gb and a swap of like 1 gb. (depending on your needs) [16:57] yesterday i creaed /boot 100 mb ext 4, primary, / 10 gb ext 2 primary, 4 gb swap (for 2gb ram) and 40 gb home, swap and home as logical pratitions [16:58] how do I force a reinstall of libc6. It complains that its unable to locatio file for the libc6 package why I try sudo aptitude --purge reinstall libc6 [16:58] iiname: i find 10gb too small for my / needs. [16:58] 4gb of swap is proberly overkill unless you are using hibernate/suspend. [16:58] ChipCherou: reinstalling rarely fixes anything, why do you want to reinstall libc6? [16:58] <^mNotIntelligent> Pici, thanks a lot [16:58] gives me an option to use "advanced partitioning tool" [16:58] jrib, to try to fix this issue: Crashing under seperate vnc. heres log of example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559091/ [16:59] have sda1 ext 2 100 mb, sda2 ext 4 10 gb, sda 5 ext 4 40 gb, sda 6 linux swap 4 gb [17:00] ChipCherou: gksudo synaptic as root? What on earth? [17:00] Dweezahr: What means gives you? [17:00] ChipCherou: i dont see where that log proves its glibc causeing the crash.. but i am just skimming it... === OerHeks is now known as Oer [17:00] I have a question... will ubuntu not allow you to use software manager if your OS is not up to date? [17:00] iiname: just delete everything "linux" and start over... and set the partitions how you want... that shoudl give you one big "unallocated" partition... then set up the unallocated how you want it [17:00] can anybody help me,at startup,conky doesnt fit the screen,but if i do killall conky and then conky it fits properly,pic: http://postimage.org/image/a3wo1slg/ [17:00] Dr_Willis, I don't know whats causing it, but reinstalling the libraries is the only thing I can think of [17:01] ChipCherou: thats 'windows thinking' [17:01] ChipCherou: for starters try without the sudo stuff.. also try vncing as a normal user. [17:01] jrib, force of habit [17:01] ChipCherou: terrible habit... [17:01] ChipCherou: theres also 'sudo -i' as a user, and trying it. [17:02] punjo: it can cause issues.. its best to stay up to date [17:02] edit partition for /boot gives otpions as do not use this partition, [17:02] should /boot be an ext2 or ext 4 ? [17:02] iiname: you are making it way too hard. :) it can be ext2/3/4 [17:02] IM in software manager and when I select a progranm to install, it asks for the password.. but it does nothing after' [17:02] iiname: use of /boot/ is of debateable usefullness these days. [17:02] Dr_Willis: why would it do this [17:03] punjo: run it from terminal, look for errors.. or just update/upgrade from terminal. and try it again and see if it fixes it. [17:03] Dr_Willis: apt-get update? [17:03] punjo: update yes.. then 'apt-get upgrade' [17:04] thanks dr, i have deleted /boot and / and recreated them of the same size [17:04] is BSD an acronym?

[17:05] cpan install [17:05] Hello [17:05] Dr_Willis, I installed a ton of junk I dont need anymore that way [17:05] fubada: i would think you would want to use cpan to uninstall them then.

Make them whatever you want [17:05] fubada: remove a cpan module I've never done that only added or upgraded [17:05] what the best distribution for kde please? [17:05] I'd like to have a clean perl install [17:05] Does anybody know why Dvb-t channel changing works so slow in Ubuntu? [17:06] R3k: kubuntu works very well. [17:06] sacarlson, i hate when a system is using apt-get for perl modules and CPAN [17:06] its a nightmare [17:06] alberto_, you've got dvb-t working [17:06] i desperately want clean perl install [17:06] I was told about opensuse... [17:06] Hi, i am setting up an nfs4 server and I would like to do a uid translation based on the workstation and the workstation uid, is this possible? [17:06] alberto_, i still can't get mine working [17:06] R3k: ask about that in #opensuse then. [17:06] @km0201, saw your suggestion only now, have deleted and reformatted /boot and /, but didn't do anything to home and linux swap [17:06] R3k: This channel is only for Ubuntu support. Either try ##linux or maybe #ubuntu-offtopic [17:06] R3k: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde as default, but you can also use ubuntu (gnome default) and install kde along side as a secondary option [17:06] can anybody help me,at startup,conky doesnt fit the screen,but if i do killall conky and then conky it fits properly,pic: http://postimage.org/image/a3wo1slg/ [17:06] hope it is alright [17:07] obengdako I've got mine working, but it takes a lot to change channels. [17:07] iiname: you have to have a / [17:07] If I was to reinstall the OS, what is the best way to backup current config [17:07] but I just wanted to have a general opinion because I'm not sure [17:07] obengdako Which programme do you use? [17:07] eXpLoD: commonly conky is started from a script with like a 10 sec 'delay' to let gnome get going and all setup. You may want to try that.

[17:10] ChipCherou: so i dont see the point of that command you used. [17:10] Dr_Willis, I misinterpreted your Dr_Willis> ChipCherou: theres also 'sudo -i' as a user, and trying it. [17:11] fubada: horrific idea.. as perl is installed by default and is important for a lot of applications to function [17:11] righ [17:11] it will most certainly hose the system [17:11] ChipCherou: the whole issue could be from your nested sudoing as root... [17:11] goltoof, any idea how to remove perl modules installed by CPAN [17:12] Dr_Willis, just to confirm I did it without sudo or gksudo and same exact thing. [17:12] ChipCherou: why are you running it as root? I don't even understand your setup. You're running X as root? [17:12] ChipCherou: Can you start any other graphical application there? [17:13] fubada: must discern between default perl modules and cpan modules and remove manually. better to determine what's being affected by what modules. what's the problem anyway? [17:13] Pici, its weird, they a lto run but then crash. ie synaptic runs until I mark something for install [17:13] fubada: I think I found a cpan module delete script http://www.linuxask.com/questions/how-to-remove-install-cpan-modules [17:13] goltoof, i installed a million cpan mods as dependencies [17:13] and I just have no use for them [17:13] fubada: if nothing is using the modules it shouldn't matter [17:13] jrib, Ive been messing with this for hours and figured trying root accoutn etc may fix [17:14] oic [17:14] ChipCherou: :/ [17:14] goltoof, i want to use apt-get for perl function [17:14] instead of cpan [17:14] is there a way to autologoff a user after several days of inactivity [17:14] i switched to 10.10 because touchscreen didn't work with 10.04, tried evtouch and multitouch, probebaly didn't install them right, didn't work, so installing 10.10. [17:14] will it work by default in 10 10 [17:14] sacarlson, yea i tried that one already thanks mn [17:14] ChipCherou: what else did you try before that? [17:15] jrib, Xvnc4 Tightvnc both have same result [17:15] goltoof, whats the best way to backup my Xorg/compiz settings for a reinstall?

[17:16] but it fails if i try from outside [17:16] Wubi install of Ubuntu. Vista dualboot. updated Ubuntu. Did however take a backup of my grub.cfg. cant boot ubuntu. it just keeps rebooting. where do i locat my Ubuntu files ? [17:17] fubada: if you want to backup compiz settings alone.. you can use ccsm. [17:17] alaing: can you ssh with a normal computer from the outside? [17:17] i think its a firewall issue but I'm not sure what i need to add to my firewall to allow it to ssh to my server [17:17] Hey guys. Got a problem with installing ubuntu. My hdd is recognized (I can mount one of its partitions via shell), but no partitions show up in the installer (it is however selected for the boot loader device). What am I doing wrong? [17:17] fubada: compizconfig settings manager has an option to back and to restore the compiz settings. [17:17] peppermint: far as i know, wubi doesn't use grub... [17:17] i tried locate grub.cfg. no luck. do i need to mount something ?

Having two gnome-sessions fro the same user? [17:20] thanks schnuffle [17:20] jrib, but being a server that doesn't have a monitor...that doesn't help. I have tried with different users [17:21] alaing: I don't get any ssh login prompt at the ip you sent me, so it's likely a router/forwarding/firewall issue if you can "ssh localhost" on the server itself [17:21] jrib, right now the monitor should be showing nothing but the gui login screen [17:22] jrib, I was just saying when I am local and logged in it does not have an issue [17:22] on my machine i see scsi_eh, i believe its the harddrive, is there any way to quiet the thread? [17:22] ChipCherou: I see [17:23] jrib i've managed to ssh from my phone to my server while I'm connected to my local wifi [17:23] it's me again; I was wondering; I know there are some programs where you can message other users logged in to the system [17:23] I'm thinking its a firewall issue on the server [17:23] how do i check [17:23] i'm trying to ssh from ubuntu to cygwin and I'm this: http://codepad.org/jxNDH4pR [17:23] alaing: did you forward the port on your router to your server? [17:23] and someone apparently just sent me a message but I don't know how to check it :s [17:23] the connection gets closed immediately after successfully connecting [17:23] Good morning/afternoon/evening [17:24] I tried "talk" but that's apparently not installed [17:24] hi all, i have updated to 10.10, but the gcalctool (calculator) does not work as in 10.04 (it does not switch binary floats to e.g. octal floats) [17:24] how can i downgrade it [17:24] ? [17:24] drecute: presumably that's what you are running on cygwin? That's an issue with your server setup (cygwin)( [17:24] jrib lol helps if i forward to the right server. [17:24] during my install i set my home folder to be encrypted ... after boot, i didn't see a dialog to let me set a passphrase for recoverinng data from it ... is there a way to do that? [17:25] drecute: you should create the keys if they are missing [17:25] Why doesn't my disk show up in the installer's partition view? It's there in the system and it's also in the boot device selector [17:25] how do i setup my firewall to block other external attempts except for a specific mac address i.e my phones [17:25] schnuffle: i should create the keys on ubuntu right? [17:25] Develman: have you bugged on launchpad and upstream? [17:25] is it worth to get compiz?is it a resource hog? [17:25] alaing: first might want to check what port ssh is set to... cat /etc/ssh/sshd_config |more should be port22 [17:25] as I already have the keys setup on cygwin [17:25] drecute: on the server you start the sshd server [17:26] alaing: this is a bit offtopic btw, not so much an ubuntu thing, might want to try #networking [17:26] schnuffle: the sshd is started as a daemon already [17:26] Bill|iPad: no I didn't [17:26] should i? [17:26] goltoof: its working now I just need to setup my ubuntu server to block external requests for my ssh except for a specific mac address [17:27] Devilman: sure, it's a cool thing to do, helps it get fixed faster [17:27] drecute: where do you start the ssh server? [17:27] drecute: what you pastebinned shows the server failing to bind to port 22... [17:27] Is there a way to programatically update /etc/network/interfaces with a shell script? [17:27] schnuffle: it is started in cygwin [17:27] How could I get channels to change quicker in DVB-T in Ubuntu? [17:27] ok I will do, but it does not help me for the moment, i think ;) [17:27] drecute: i think the user starting the server hasn't enough rights [17:27] schnuffle: cygwin is the server [17:28] schnuffle: yeah u are right [17:28] schnuffle: sometimes it says permission denied [17:28] drecute: cygwin isn't a server it a unix environement for windows [17:28] is there a better firewall for ubuntu instead of iptables? [17:28] !iptables | alaing... not sure how to drop based on mac [17:28] alaing... not sure how to drop based on mac: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [17:28] can someone help me out with snort/acidbase?

[18:16] can i do user authentication in NFS? [18:16] Zuzak: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html [18:16] How do I put a Windows7 ISO on USB Disk:? [18:17] Zuak: Which version are you using? [18:17] In Ubuntu 10.10 [18:17] Zuzak: It can vary by software package, but it's generally like that. Always check for a README or INSTALL file in the package you get. [18:17] philip_: are you serious? [18:17] amartinenco: add -m append and check again [18:18] Guest53348, xrandr is not compatable on my nvidia card !! [18:18] amartinenco: and add the http:// to the paste url :) [18:18] Bonjoyee, Well I am going back to Windows all because Apple screwed up. [18:18] nexes: thanks [18:18] edwardteach yeah, nvidia sucks!! [18:18] They wrote a Checksum that pretty much prevents syncing in Linux, [18:18] Guest53348, i suspect its not on yours ether [18:18] Guest53348: what?... Nvidia usualy works perfectly with Ubuntu (at least it always has for me) [18:19] KM0201 sane here [18:19] And I have a NVidia geforce FX 5200 AGP8x 256mb Sparkle card - using 173 drivers. [18:19] KM0201 nvidia in ubuntu 10.10 is the worst thing ever [18:19] schnuffle: same thing when doing -m but when i put the network id of the dhcp server at the end it just says permission denied. [18:19] Guest53348: works perfectly on my desktop [18:19] philip_: is vbox an option? [18:20] Guest53348, you should be able to everything with their drivers! [18:20] I have vbox installed and it's not letting me install my IPod drivers in it. [18:20] KM0201 intel and open source ati driver rocks in ubuntu [18:20] philip_: I but Win7 on a stick using dd [18:20] schnuffle: i am doing it all in virtual box, maybe the interface types are the problem. I am using internal network interface types. [18:20] edwardteach i do it, and its the same [18:20] put* [18:20] barf how do you do that? [18:20] Guest53348: well that may be the case, but that does not mean that nvidia sucks [18:20] philip_: in windows? [18:20] Yeah I have winxp installed in VBox =.= [18:21] amartinenco: so you tried sudo dhcrelay -i eth0 -i eth1 -d -m append 18.0.120.0? what is the network id? [18:21] No success [18:21] bobhope: I don’t know windows, I can only change the date in that window system [18:21] KM0201 really, what do you think of wayland? [18:21] philip_: so yoou have xp in virtualbox and you can't hook your ipod up to it? [18:21] Stupid freaking Apple. [18:21] philip_: ok..good luck:) [18:21] philip_: it really should be a fairly simple process, what version of vbox do you have? [18:21] schnuffle: 18.0.120.0 is the network ip of the subnet where my dhcp server is but 18.0.120.2 is the atual dhcp server [18:22] anyone else have their wireless die on the latest kernel update? [18:22] Mike_Flip: negative [18:22] KM8201 - yes, Pretty much I have3.2.8 installed. [18:22] Mike_Flip: whats your wireless device? [18:22] amartinenco: aah, you see I haven't looked very well of course you need to use the IP of the server [18:22] philip_: ok... its' not hte OSE is it? [18:22] OSE? [18:22] Yes it is. [18:23] schnuffle: ya well i tried both :) no luck :( [18:23] philip_: thats why.... USB is not supported on OSE [18:23] broadcom :( but I have the windows wrapper and it detects its installed [18:23] hi [18:23] amartinenco: so it would be sudo dhcrelay -i eth0 -i eth1 -d -m append 18.0.120.2 [18:23] It sees my DVD Drive and it's USB. [18:23] philip_: then yu're very lucky [18:23] i've never been able to get USB working w/ the OSE [18:23] inja cheghad maskharas [18:23] philip_: use the one from virtualbox.org... [18:23] schnuffle: yep no luck [18:24] philip_: back up your virtual hard drive, uninstall vbox-ose, and download virtualbox from virtualbox.org [18:24] amartinenco: then I don't have ny other idea maybe try to set the -a flag as well [18:24] schnuffle: give same output million times as if it was an infinite loop [18:24] philip_ install the non free virtualbox [18:24] i just installed wireshark and when I ran it, it couldn't find any capture devices [18:24] Hello Everyone I have a dell Inspiron 3100 it has a 3ghz processor but only 512mb of ram i was wondering if it would run well with ubuntu 10.10 or if i should use one of the lighter distros [18:25] Haya it will [18:25] It will run fine. [18:25] schnuffle: are you familiar with virtual boxÉ [18:25] x) sweet thanks philip [18:25] haya: 512mb of ram?.. that would be bare minimum.... i'd probably look at Lubuntu... it probably won't work well w/ the live CD, but it'll probably runt he installed OS fine [18:25] Provided your video card will have decent support. [18:25] haya: you should try xubuntu [18:25] <__Alex_> Haya: It shoed work Ok, [18:25] amartinenco: yes, a bit [18:26] haya: it will give better performance in xubuntu [18:26] amartinenco: you should sort out what kind of network interface you have [18:26] haya: it'll work but may swap sometimes... [18:26] <__Alex_> Haya: Try Debian, it is good for any computter [18:26] hi anyone knows what's the difference between ubuntu and studioubuntu? [18:26] schnuffle: could it be that i am using wrong network adapter typesÉ. I am using the internal network. Not sure if its correct though [18:26] __Alex_: +1 [18:27] I'm getting a "gave up waiting for root device" error while booting, it only happens when I have the USB digital TV receiver plugged in. Any suggestions on where to start with this? [18:27] __Alex_: while i agree debian is good, i wouldn't recommend it to a newb, on a laptop [18:27] Hi all, I'm running Ubuntu using the Quickstart project. I noticed that a certain program started putting green checkboxes on *all my files and it has slowed down ubuntu significantly. It looks like some version control program.

Had this problem for about a month, advice on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. [18:27] <__Alex_> KM0201: Yes, that's true [18:27] amartinenco: internal network is for ost only connection, is there a option like bridged network, if yes use it [18:27] It looks like RabbitVCS Git is installed. Could it be that? [18:27] ok so my liveCd isn't even getting through the full boot. Looks like its hanging when switching to graphics from text. Any ideas. I believe its an ATI video card [18:27] haya you could also try the netbook remix [18:28] Mike_Flip: ugh?... he wants to use his laptop, not have a hole burned in his retina [18:28] ! studioubuntu [18:28] schnuffle: which interfaces should i put bridged networkÉ My client or routerÉ [18:28] amartinenco: and next time, state right at the beginning that you're using virtualization, cause dhcp is a common problem to that :) [18:28] !ubuntustudio | vikas [18:28] vikas: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation.

[18:32] ok so my liveCd isn't even getting through the full boot. Looks like its hanging when switching to graphics from text. Any ideas. I believe its an ATI video card [18:32] no keyring is your linux password not your wireless [18:32] Danny_Joris: Check if your pc starts swapping with sudo top [18:32] badpenguin86: plymouth in ubuntu will break half the system if removed..how did you do it? [18:32] bonjoyee, Well, I removed the theme package, which basically made it boot in verbose [18:33] can anyone tell me if this is correct config for bind please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/559133/ my website is not resolving www.mydomain.com but resolves mydomain.com [18:33] badpenguin86: oh..thats it..i though you removed plymouth.. [18:33] can someone refresh me on the main command lines when diagnosing wireless? [18:33] badpenguin86: then install the theme.. [18:33] bonjoyee, Tried that, didn't work [18:33] <__Alex_> angelo: When you 1st time connected to the WIFi, It asked to make a new keyring, and you to type 2 tymes a new password [18:34] schnuffle: not sure what you mean with swapping. Xorg has 50%, software center 24.. [18:34] <__Alex_> angelo: That is the passworf to your keyring [18:34] I'm getting a "gave up waiting for root device" error while booting any ideas?

[18:35] Danny_Joris: okay not swapping, then wat means slow, your whole pc or jut drupal? [18:35] I know my laptop is probably not ideal for this, but it used to run quicker. Before I noticed all these checkmarks on my files [18:35] schnuffle: same looping problem again [18:36] schnuffle: ubuntu in virtualbox [18:36] schnuffle: tried -m append -m forward and no luck [18:36] bonjoyee since I plugged in a USB Digital TV receiver stick [18:36] badpenguin86: i think that package is called plymouth-theme-logo..not sure..check synaptic [18:36] amartinenco: so I can't help you, I don't know enough your setup to tell you what to do [18:37] bonjoyee, Gonna reboot and see if that fixed it [18:37] hey [18:37] Question : I want to run windows app on ubuntu, which is the best software to do so?

[19:50] I was trying to do an upgrade and it says I have a lot of unbroken packages.... but i dont' remember there ever really being any... but here is the output of cat /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log [19:50] Jean_7: just say your problem [19:50] greyfiend: ? [19:50] here is the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559176/ [19:50] Heh, which great country? [19:50] I need help for instalation Ubunto in my notebook === blogdox is now known as murdox [19:51] bonjoyee, that line is commented at the moment [19:51] dumb newbie question: if i can't find the config file for a program where it's supposed to be... does that mean there isn't one, or that it's hiding somewhere else? (Running ubuntu with the openbox GUI, looking for the config file for my terminal emulator; terminator) [19:51] What do you need Jean_& ? === JackyAlcine-AFK is now known as JackyAlcine [19:52] Jean_7: whats the problem? [19:52] greyfiend: commented? you mean prepended with #? [19:52] bonjoyee, yup [19:53] cynicaloptimist: make one? man terminator can help too [19:53] this channel should look and work in different way...2 minutes each question and all channel answer 1 question on time [19:53] greyfiend: ok..then do "sudo update-grub" and then pastebin the new grub.cfg again.. [19:53] ania it doesn't work like that which is why we use names :) [19:54] hm, i have managed to fix grub, but it still wont boot much :P what can i try to help it boot when i've moved the disk from one pc to another [19:54] greyfiend: hope i am not bothering you too much;)? [19:54] anyone know how i can get dual screen remote desktop from my ubuntu to windoze [19:54] ? [19:54] shcherbak: i tried dropping one in that i'd copied from the net, into location specified in man terminator_config. Thus far... no evidence of it having any effect. I'll try making one from scratch that more closely follows the guidance in the man page. [19:55] bonjoyee, no way, thanx for taking an interest! that pastebin is now updated. [19:55] hey :) ! would anyone mind telling me what's the syntax for telling a regexp to match several characters in stuff like grep ? i tried using {n}, but it doesn't seem to work [19:55] greyfiend: which one? [19:56] bonjoyee, pastbin.com/CuTpXnEi [19:56] after putting LUbuntu inside my Cd driver [19:56] should I click Install LUbuntu or click start from 1st hdd ? [19:56] cynicaloptimist you should look at the files provided by the package that you are asking about. Looking at that list may tell you where it keeps it's configs. [19:57] cynicaloptimist: You may want to look into alternative side: screen, byobu, _tmux_. [19:57] greyfiend: have you made any changes to /etc/default/grub? [19:58] chiluk: i tried "apt-file search terminator" and couldn't find a config file in the list it produced [19:58] bonjoyee, no Idon't think so [19:58] :D [19:58] (: [19:58] this is a pain in my assss ;D [19:59] greyfiend: editing grub.cfg directly is not recommended..but it surely is not that bad..can we try it? [20:00] shcherbak: i may look into tmux if i can't get terminator working [20:00] greyfiend: well backup the original one anyways! [20:00] bonjoyee, for sure [20:00] Anyone able to tell me how I can add a route to my router, 192.168.1.1? === MC8|ping4review is now known as MC8 [20:00] okay, how can i get terminator to re-initialise and see if my config file is being used? (Without restarting the computer?) [20:00] cynicaloptimist: Honestly, never used terminator... [20:00] What is better T43 or T400 ? ^^ [20:01] greyfiend: ok..then goto /boot/grub, then backup grub.cfg to grub.cfg.old [20:01] bonjoyee, done [20:01] shcherbak: dang, so the answer to that is program-specific? there's no general method? [20:01] greyfiend: chmod +w grub.cfg [20:01] * MC8 wonders idly what 'sudo apt-get install skuynet' would do [20:01] i have boot :D [20:01] greyfiend: gksu gedit grub.cfg [20:01] MC8: Noooooooo! don't do it! [20:02] cynicaloptimist: if other software work ok, it seems to be logical. [20:02] greyfiend: then replace all "root=/dev/sda1" with "root=UUID=3b31a242-8652-4074-9467-68838faf7025" [20:03] greyfiend: then save the file..and tell me when alls done.. [20:04] I went ahead and update via update manager as prompted today and it broke my sound. AGAIN. Last time it happened I googled and found a thread on ubuntu forums to enabling backports, updates sources and then installing the generic backports version of the alsa module and that worked great, but this time no dice. I'm getting dependency issues saying the dependency referred to is a virtual package. How can I get my sound working again? This is on an HP [20:04] G62-339WM running lucid [20:05] bonjoyee, no instances of root=/dev/sda1 found? [20:05] greyfiend: in /boot/grub/grub.cfg? [20:05] how do i get ubuntu to detect new network cards (i have them in the interfaces file but it says 'no such device' [20:06] bonjoyee, yup [20:06] greyfiend: so what does the "root=" line read like in there? [20:06] greyfiend: in the menuentry sections? [20:07] hi there [20:07] i have a small problem, replaced an broken burner with an new one, different brand, now i cant burn with brasero, how can i reset or config it? [20:08] Hello I'm lost [20:08] Is it possible to disable desktop themes(gnome/compiz/emerald) selectively, like for a sinlge program? Some kind of window properties rules? I have a theme that works well for most things, but the text buttons in freeciv have light grey text on light yellow background, which is hopeless.. [20:08] greyfiend: did you pastebin to me the latest version of grub.cfg after running sudo update-grub? [20:08] is there a place for computer simpletons to get help? === blogdox is now known as murdox [20:09] youlun, www.tldp.org [20:09] bonjoyee, all set to UUID I think, here a new pastbin just in case: pastebin.com/xb4raHDt [20:09] hola. anyone know if xubuntu 10.10 has pulseaudio enabled by default? [20:09] your_favorite_ni, www.tldp.org [20:09] your_favorite_ni, sure, here, feel free to ask [20:09] what the spam is going on? [20:09] Well, I am trying to get a 3G modem to work on Linux [20:09] greyfiend: o dear!..then the all editing was useless and not needed! [20:10] is there a faster site to download ubuntu server 64 i get like 9kb from officail ? [20:10] Pici: are you around ? [20:10] greyfiend: anyways now try booting with the usb device plugged in.. [20:10] dl2agon: try finding a torrent [20:10] bonjoyee, damn sorry about that, ok.... [20:10] greyfiend: :) [20:10] SockPants thanx will do [20:10] i have a small problem, replaced an broken burner with an new one, different brand, now i cant burn with brasero, how can i reset or config it? [20:10] maybe complete removal [20:10] and reinstall? [20:11] anyone knows how to install CUPS on 10.10? I keep getting the "403 Forbidden" error ! [20:12] tucemiux: its should be installed by default.. [20:12] why would apache not host pages correctly, not only not run php files it wont display the html either ? instead of running the files it sends them as downloads wtf [20:12] yellabs-r2, you know if it's recognized? can you pop a CD or DVD into the drive? [20:12] i will try complete removal and reinstall [20:12] your_favorite_ni: use netmanager. It's an plugin in the main panel. You may just right click the network symbol there. [20:12] yes its works in some programs [20:12] but in others not [20:13] bonjoyee, im not using a default config, i want to share a printer and want to remotely administer it [20:13] brasero , gnomebaler fails, and default drag and drop works [20:13] You know, I only recommend Ubuntu for people who don't have IPod touch4G =.= [20:13] baker [20:13] dominicdinada: check the mime-types in *.conf [20:13] greyfiend: ill die of anxiety! whats happening? [20:14] bonjoyee, nope same error, 2 successful restarts then a gave up waiting for root device, the times that worked were also very slow to boot [20:14] yellabs-r2, must be a setting on the dvd-rom, i would search about it on the forums, you need to specify the brand of the device [20:14] say. this is kind of an ubuntu functionality thing. === OerHeks is now known as Oer [20:14] * bonjoyee yelling!! [20:14] i did, i installed lamp on a second backup server and i matched just about all settings to eachother respectfully [20:14] anyone here happen to know how to make tomboy display in the gui? [20:14] !forum [20:14] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC freenode #ubuntuforums. [20:14] dreamer000: i did, i installed lamp on a second backup server and i matched just about all settings to eachother respectfully [20:14] I've been poking around the preferences for tomboy. last changed is in search, but I see no option to add more columns [20:14] * nemo checks gconf [20:15] Ahahaha I finally fixed the whole root of this mess but now the mess is the server cant even read a html file lol [20:15] greyfiend: think thats nuff for today:) [20:15] maybe i need to reboot ? like in windows ... lol [20:15] don't see anything in gconf either... [20:16] bonjoyee, cool, thanx for trying! [20:16] greyfiend: good luck.. [20:16] just installed ubuntu 10 after testing it on my LG laptop with Nvidia chipset - to test it I had to choe the F6 option of nomodeset thinething - to help with problematic VGA driver - I was able to activate the nVidia driver while testing, so went ahead and installed it, but the same problem happens: I get to an empty "splash screen" with sound enabled and mouse movement but nothing else - can I somehow while booting, tell the sys [20:16] dominicdinada: is there some "overlap" where one instance can't get resources because of the settings? [20:16] I use Ubuntu Maverick on a Laptop. It works well but i can't use it on Battery [20:17] Just with the power cord... [20:17] reboot [20:17] User_007: well that doesn't make any sense [20:17] what happens when you switcht o battery [20:18] When i plug the battery i get: Laptop Battery (estimating...) [20:18] dreamer000: no instances in this envvars i noticed between all the files these differed in there is no $SUFFIX [20:18] yellabs-r2, in linux it's tricketier than windows, i've see dvd roms that didnt even show up in the GUI until I inserted a dvd or cd rom into it, there must be a setting in the dvd rom with the bios but since I dont know what device you have no one would be able to help you [20:18] Skype won't pick up any sound on any device, my only option is 'PulseAudio' for any device, Help [20:18] denoting instances of apache running [20:18] User_007: you should still be able to use the battery, it just won't give you a time estimate till its dead. [20:18] KM0201 it don't show the battery status [20:18] I have a suspend problem with my nvidia 8800GTS. When I resume, the graphics are slow (I get about 1/5th of the framerate in games.) Any ideas?I have a suspend problem with my nvidia 8800GTS. When I resume, the graphics are slow (I get about 1/5th of the framerate in games.) Any ideas?

[20:20] can some help me with my slow wireless issue with ubuntu 10.10. [20:20] smallfoot-: it took about 4 months for them to fix 2 bugs in 10.10 i was shocked [20:20] I used to use Debian and other Ubuntu versions before and the battery was well found, and worked. But now it can't find the battery status.... [20:20] two tiny bugs [20:20] VGA problem: just installed ubuntu 10 after testing it on my LG laptop with Nvidia chipset - to test it I had to choe the F6 option of nomodeset thinething - to help with problematic VGA driver - I was able to activate the nVidia driver while testing, so went ahead and installed it, but the same problem happens: I get to an empty "splash screen" with sound enabled and mouse movement but nothing else - can I somehow while booting, [20:20] KM0201, no its alpha [20:20] dominicdinada: well then they obviously were not a high priority. [20:21] really its less stable than windows 3.11 [20:21] its horribly unstable lol [20:21] smallfoot-: ok, well, then its alpha... my point is, why would you expect it to be more stable than an OS that is 15-20yrs old? [20:21] cuz win3.11 sucks [20:21] eddiek156: Sure, just strip "less" and .... [20:21] KM0201: ya because people who wanted to use Kate or any text editor over networked documents isn't important at all [20:21] smallfoot-: well, 11.04 is in testing, its going to go through the "sucks" phase, all the alpha's do... [20:22] eddiek156: Sorry.. nvm.. I'm a bit pissed, not at you, but you were the first item I read since I hung up the phone.. [20:22] VGA problem: just installed ubuntu 10 after testing it on my LG laptop with Nvidia chipset - to test it I had to choe the F6 option of nomodeset thinething - to help with problematic VGA driver - I was able to activate the nVidia driver while testing, so went ahead and installed it, but the same problem happens: I get to an empty "splash screen" with sound enabled and mouse movement but nothing else - can I somehow while booting, [20:22] jschall, renoot holding shift key down , choose recovery kernel , then fix broken packages in the dialog , the reboot normally [20:22] dominicdinada: i'd say if it took that long to fix it, it obviously wasn't [20:22] !patience | yahriver [20:22] yahriver: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [20:22] KM0201: because network file access is low priority and they would rather people have a 0 byte network file when you hit Save [20:22] KM0201, yeah i know, but i didnt think it would suck this bad [20:23] dominicdinada: if you want it to be a higher priority, start your own distro.. [20:23] is this the right place to ask newbie questions or is ther a better channel [20:23] smallfoot-: well, you can't blame 11.04, for you being totally naive [20:23] BluesKaj: ubottu sorry :) ok, will search [20:23] eddiek156: no, this is the place [20:23] yahriver, I would go for the forums for that one, what's the brand/model of your laptop? [20:23] dominicdinada: Misst your question but saw you talk about Kate and networked files, which I use. Can I be of assistance? (I'm semi-noob, too, but will try to help.) [20:23] although I already did, but I will search deeper [20:24] LGr38 [20:24] kwtm: he's just whining. [20:24] kwtm: my question was in regards to apache and stuff [20:24] evenin' all [20:24] yahriver, reboot holding shift key down , choose recovery kernel , then fix broken packages in the dialog , then reboot normally [20:24] i have installed ubuntu 10.10 on my hp nc6320 laptop. the wired connection is fine but the wireless connection seems to be very slow in comparision. im not sure if i need to chnage the config of the wireless nic or is it a driver issue? [20:25] KM0201: I can see why sometimes Ubuntu makes people whine, especially when using the KDE version. Maybe a fresh perspective can help him feel better? I'd certainly like that if I were in his place. [20:25] dominicdinada: Okay, sorry, not an expert on apache and all ... but hope you get your problem solved. [20:25] kwtm: just a matter of opinion i guess [20:25] BluesKaj: how does one "then fix broken packages in the dialog"? [20:25] KM0201: I surely am not whining just stating facts that 10.10 still is a shock at how bad it is. :( will skip future updates i do believe [20:26] sup [20:26] smallfoot-: Hi. Noticing that Ubuntu sucks? :) I stick to Long-Term Support versions, myself. Do you have that option? [20:26] what are good apps to get on ubuntu [20:26] yahriver, when you choose the recovery kernel , you''ll get a dialog box with choices [20:26] dominicdinada: ok, and if i said "its a shock how good it is"..... ? the point is, it's an individual experience... [20:27] it is working now thx [20:27] moogly: Loaded question. Isn't there a separate IRC channel for asking the bots "what's the best ___"? Anyway, depends what you use Ubuntu for. AbiWord, Gnumeric, GIMP, etc. These should all be on Linux blogs when you google "best apps Ubuntu". [20:27] BluesKaj: ok, I need to get this strait while shutting down the computer (reboot?) hold the shift or after selecting the linux from the loader? [20:27] Any chance my system will have weird quirks if I have kubuntu-desktop and Ubuntu-desktop installed at the same time and just switch between them on the login screen? [20:27] KM0201: yes because i don't use mine for burning music and video manipulation, primary purpose of what i use it for is network related [20:27] kwtm: i don't see any use in sticking w/ LTS, unless you have to maintain a ton of systems === Kernel is now known as Wicked [20:27] dominicdinada: like i said, linux from scratch is available if you can do better === blogdox is now known as murdox [20:28] KM0201: And I will defend your right to hang on to that opinion with which I disagree. I'm glad that each of our approaches is working for each one of us. [20:28] KM0201: I most surely would go with the people who got their game right in town [20:28] question: i'm running ubuntu 10.10 in a vmware VM. every time a suspend it and resume it, the network connection is lost.. so i went to System > Administration > Additional Drivers, and i deactivated the driver, closed the window, brought it up again, activated the driver again, and the connection is re-established.. i was wondering if there was a way to do this from a terminal, any ideas? [20:28] kwtm: yeah..... agree [20:28] thanks to all :) [20:28] hi [20:29] kwtm: but the whole point of LTS, is so that machines do not have to be upgraded very 6mo.... [20:29] hello :D [20:29] or even every 18mo [20:29] Hi I have a black screen since installing the new xubuntu kernel on my mini pc, i cannot see a shell and if i try to re-install I get a "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" message .. any suggestions? please pm me [20:29] KM0201: Out of curiosity, are you using KDE? [20:29] question: i'm running ubuntu 10.10 in a vmware VM. every time a suspend it and resume it, the network connection is lost.. so i went to System > Administration > Additional Drivers, and i deactivated the driver, closed the window, brought it up again, activated the driver again, and the connection is re-established.. i was wondering if there was a way to do this from a terminal, any ideas? [20:29] KM0201: Bi-daily important security updates is getting old fast this is as bad as windows 98/ME was with updates everytime you unlock the screen [20:29] kwtm: heavens no... [20:29] help!I have just changed ubuntu default font from that window which let me to choose the screensaver too and now when i start ubuntu it's a dark screen and i have acces only to the command line! [20:30] yahriver, holding the shift key down is for those who have only one partition and OS and grub doesn't show when booting..the shift key gives you the grub menu [20:30] KM0201: you would think this is apple or adobe or something [20:30] KM0201: I'd say that our needs our different, and I am even gladder that each of our approaches is working for each one of us. [20:30] KM0201: s/our/are/2 [20:30] dominicdinada: sounds like most of your issue is "user malfunction" and you want to blame the OS. [20:30] Yuyo: sudo ifdown eth0 ... then sudo ifup eth0 ... that's assuming your virtual network card in ubuntu is listed as eth0 [20:31] KM0201: my malfunction that these updates 2 times a day is horrid i have 10.04 which as we all know runs smooth [20:31] How can I tell who the ops are in this channel? (Ie. the people whom the ChannelBot is willing to grant op privileges to) [20:31] help!I have just changed ubuntu default font from that window which let me to choose the screensaver too and now when i start ubuntu it's a dark screen and i have acces only to the command line interpreter by pressing alt+ctrl+f1 [20:32] i have installed ubuntu 10.10 on my hp nc6320 laptop. the wired connection is fine but the wireless connection seems to be very slow in comparision. im not sure if i need to chnage the config of the wireless nic or is it a driver issue? [20:32] kwtm: you can't [20:32] Hello everyone! I just finished installing a game and now when I try to start it the screen flickers to grey for a quickie and then nothing happens. [20:32] dominicdinada: Oh. Hmm, I wonder if that means ChannelBot is willing to op anyone ... including me? [20:32] kwtm: no [20:32] kwtm if there is a problem here either the ops watching will take care of it or [20:32] ChannelBot, op transform! [20:32] Darn, that didn't work. [20:32] haha [20:32] help!I have just changed ubuntu default font from that window which let me to choose the background wallpaper too and now when i start ubuntu it's a dark screen and i have acces only to the command line interpreter by pressing alt+ctrl+f1!! [20:32] kwtm: stay on topic please [20:32] kwtm: /msg chanserv access #ubuntu list , but can I help you with something? [20:33] dominicdinada: Do you still need me? [20:33] eXpLoD: yeah, you said that before. No need to repeat so soon [20:33] eXpLoD: does: startx do something? [20:34] Pici: yes i have tracked down the issue but not fixed it, I did fix my inital problem that finally mysql is up and running however PHP/Apache are not running correctly [20:34] When I use putty and log on to my server it gives me a nice breakdown of how the server is performing. is there a way i can bring this up again during my session [20:34] i don't know,now i m running windows since i dual boot xp and ubuntu [20:35] ./bash_profile [20:35] would probably do the trick === JackyAlcine is now known as JackyAlcine-AFK [20:35] eXpLoD: you on wire or wifi? [20:35] wire [20:35] Pici: That being said Instead of running php files or html it sends them so something is not picking up the filetypes. I installed lamp again and did a side by side comparison of just about all the confs on both machines accounting where differences lye and i am at a lose [20:35] alaing: once logged in you could start byobu which is an agmentation of screen.. it will give you some of that info and other benefits while working remotely.. man screen [20:35] eXpLoD: you can use irc from console with irssi [20:36] dominicdinada: Does www-data have permission to execute the php files in question? [20:36] how do i start byobu [20:36] alaing: byobu [20:36] oh yeah,but can i do anything?is there any command so i can change the default font? [20:37] dominicdinada: did you install php and mysql from the repos? [20:37] file types being html/text on both machines the one big differences between the two are that the Envvars differ in that the server has no $SUFFIX notated in allowing multiple instances of apache to run [20:37] alaing: type byobu [20:37] eXpLoD: that would be gconf-tool [20:37] izinucs: tasksel [20:37] can i use it with other ssh apps? [20:37] izinucs: so yes [20:37] dominicdinada: ok.. same difference [20:38] alaing: sure.. since it's running on the machine you're connecting to.. so connect first then run it.. [20:38] alaing: also googling screen will give you a good idea of what it can do.. [20:38] that all being said since when isn't utf8_general_ci a valid compiled mysql language to default mysql to [20:39] Pici: i should look again i never changed the role of the www-data user at all and 2 years running lamp never had a problem doing so [20:39] if i wanted to share files between my 3 computers, (ubuntu,ubuntu,RHEL)..i have to have Samba on all 3, right? [20:40] alaing: yes === JackyAlcine-AFK is now known as JackyAlcine === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [20:40] [20:40] I've got a computer that keeps shutting down randomly, do you know in which logs I would look to find out why? [20:40] !afk > JackyAlcine [20:40] JackyAlcine, please see my private message [20:41] dominicdinada: But perhaps your files have changed? [20:41] Tjololo12: syslog, messages, kern.log [20:41] shcherbak: thanks [20:41] they all in /var/log? [20:41] Tjololo12: yup [20:41] I'm using 10.10 Every window is spawning without the menubar with "FIle, Edit" and close/minimize buttons [20:41] Tjololo12: random shutdowns are almost always either voltage irregularities, or heat. [20:42] niles: are you looking for "source bash_profile" ? [20:42] They're also not resizable [20:42] KM0201: I checked the PSU and it checked out alright, anything else you can think to check other than heat? I can check that in a little bit. [20:42] bastidrazor: I duno, just trying to help [20:42] thanks let me try that [20:42] gusg: to resize: Alt-F8 , works? [20:43] shcerbak: yes. as does "Alt" to move [20:43] Tjololo12: the one time i had a problem like this... i had a broken wire inside a molex connector... took me forever to figure it out... [20:43] gusg: Alt-F7 to move [20:43] If I restart, I think it will fix itself. but is there anyway to diagnose what happened [20:43] Tjololo12: but once i did, i replaced the PS, problem went away. [20:43] I checked the PSU with a multimeter though from the front side (the side that plugs into the board) though. Wouldn't that have tipped me off? [20:43] Tjololo12: if i had to guess, it was shorting somehow. [20:43] gusg: run [20:44] gusg: metacity --replace [20:44] shcerbak: That did it! [20:44] how do i change directory in terminal? [20:44] cd? or chsomething? [20:44] chovynz: cd /name/of/new/dir [20:45] gusg: try: compiz --replace [20:45] shcherbak:Thanks. What might have gone on? [20:45] kwtm: thanks [20:45] shcherbak: I just realized, metacity --replace did not return. Should I kill it? [20:45] KM0201: hmm that's no good...Ok, I'll see if I can figure out what's going on, thanks for the help everyone [20:45] if i wanted to share files between my 3 computers, (ubuntu,ubuntu,RHEL)..i have to have Samba on all 3, right? [20:45] gusg: your window decorator broke down, no run metacity --replace from Alt-F2 [20:46] hi [20:46] im having trouble locating the main directory of phpmyadmin. cd phpmyadmin doesn't work, whats the command to find it? [20:46] Pici: the trees are still intact with the right ownerships and permissions, Something else popped into my head the run and lock directives were not present in the faulty configuration envvars [20:46] oday: why samba? sshfs, ftp? [20:46] shcherbak: compiz --replace did nothing, I do not think. There was a brief flash where the menu bar was missing again [20:46] i dont know :o [20:47] Pici: I mapped them to,export APACHE_RUN_DIR=/var/run/apache2 [20:47] chovynz: May want to see http://info.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix1.html [20:47] i am looking for a solution to share files while having my RHEL be the server [20:47] gusg: so Alt-F2 and in run window: metacity --replace [20:47] does anyone know how to make it so my beep alert uses the internal pc speaker like it used to instead of making a noise through my external speakers? [20:48] shcherbak: I got it. I'm guessing that restarts the service? causes the currently running metacity/compiz to exit and starts a new one [20:48] oday: I thought that ssh is good enough for red hat [20:48] i dont always have my speakers on and use that alert for many things like irc [20:48] my wireless connection is very slow. i notice the mtu is set to auto. what manual value would work well? [20:48] chovynz: Not sure which directory you mean: where the program is located, or where data is located? Anyway, check http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/phpmyadmin/filelist if you want to know which directory the programs are in. [20:48] eddiek1561: whats your wireless device?.. mine is set to "auto" and i have no problems [20:49] chovynz: Also, "cd phpmyadmin" will not work unless you are in the correct current directory. You probably meant "cd /phpmyadmin", which will also not work but is closer to what you want. [20:49] I'm using grsync for basic setup syncing between my machine and a usb drive. How do you get rsync to sync in both directions? [20:49] Hi! I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, everything went fine until I got a message asking me to install the proprietary FGLRX driver. I activated the driver and rebooted. Now I can't boot up ubuntu, not even in recovery. Is there anything I can do except a complete reinstall? [20:49] its an intel 945 built into my hp nc6320 laptop [20:49] ubuntu, try booting from a Live CD and go into recovery mode [20:49] gusg: It may be a lot of things, hard to say, logs may be able to say something. [20:50] hey guys [20:50] ubuntu rules!! [20:50] ubuntu: You need to be more specific about "I can't boot up ubuntu". It does not show a graphics screen? Computer does not say it's booting? You see your computer screen except the screensaver looks really ugly? etc. etc. [20:50] eddiek1561, I think you mean 3945 or something along those lines [20:50] Grub shows, I choose ubuntu and then screen goes black [20:50] you maybe right :-D [20:51] same thing with recovery [20:51] eddiek1561: intel 945 is a graphics chipset, not a wireless chipset [20:51] shcerbak: thanks for fixing it. my computer had just become unresponsive before (no mouse activity). I will try to investigate it if it happens agian. [20:51] eddiek1561, pastebin lspci please and give us the url [20:51] kwtm: so if I'm reading it right i want to type cd /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ ? [20:51] ubuntu: try edit grub, remove splash and add text. [20:51] what/where is lspci [20:51] oday: How do I do that? I'm not that good with ubuntu. [20:52] eddiek1561, type that in a terminal [20:52] hi [20:52] eddiek1561: man lspci [20:52] eddiek1561: type it in a terminal, then pastebin the output [20:52] * KM0201 predicts channel flood... [20:52] chovynz: It depends on what you want to do. If you want to the files, then you could "cd /usr/share/phpmyadmin" and then "ls", but you could also do "ls /usr/share/phpmyadmin" without doing cd. [20:52] shcherbak: What exactly do you mean? [20:52] werid i was tossed to a cloaked channel?? [20:52] eddiek1561, paste.ubuntu.com please not here [20:52] Hi...got a problem with RT and creating tickets from fetchmail to MDA. I've tested the MDA and there's no error and I have permissions set up but the tickeets are being created [20:52] Cpt_Zyph: are you here unregistered? [20:53] kwtm: ok thanks. I think i got it now [20:53] ubuntu: On grub press e, find line with splash, and put text instead, ctrl-x to boot.# [20:53] KM0201 nope [20:53] Hi I have a black screen since installing the new xubuntu kernel on my mini pc, i cannot see a shell and if i try to re-install I get a "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" message .. any suggestions? please pm me [20:53] Cpt_Zyph: hmm [20:53] ok http://pastebin.com/VFvJQnBq [20:54] KM0201 i should be registered both with freenode and ubuntu... went took a floor call was afk not even 15 min ish maybe 20 and came back was in diff channel.. no biggie just thought it was weird [20:54] wow, cant belive it, graphire4 working out of the box. === wemaflo is now known as wema|off [20:54] Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG eddiek1561 thats it [20:54] Cpt_Zyph: dunno, scroll up and see if you can see what happened... [20:54] nod [20:55] ok im learning :) [20:55] eddiek1561: are you using 10.10? [20:55] would I have to configure mysql before configuring phpmyadmin? [20:55] yes === q_a_z_steve1 is now known as q_a_z_steve [20:56] eddiek1561: cuz there's a lot of bug reports w/ that device and 10.10, most regarding it being slow) [20:56] ok so should i use a different version? [20:57] exit [20:57] quit [20:57] eddiek1561: well 10.10 is the most current.. so [20:57] hello [20:57] these bug reports......where would i view them [20:57] how can i know if EyeTV (tdt usb receiver) is allowed in ubuntu [20:58] im i best using an lts version? [20:58] eddiek1561: google "intel3945abg ubuntu slow" and the entire first page is bug hits, and a couple threads from where 10.10 is in beta, and a few from previous versions of ubuntu [21:00] hi, I'm on 9.10 and when I use "sudo !!" (to add sudo to the last command), I am not asked for my password. anyone wanting to try on a newer version please? [21:00] Dvorak_AJS: it works on 10.10 [21:00] Dvorak_AJS, I get asked for my finger swipe on 10.10 so it's working right here [21:00] finger swipe/password/same thing [21:01] Dvorak_AJS: are you never asked for your password? [21:01] dvorak - if you have entered your password for sudo in that same terminal session - recently, you wont have to reenter it [21:01] badger32d, no that's not the problem, I checked that. For the others: the problem is that I'm NOT asked for any password [21:01] Dvorak_AJS: check /etc/sudoers for NOPASSWORD too [21:01] Hi everybody does anyone knows where is nautilus smb shared folder configuration? [21:02] h there.got a laptop,with numeric keys,but now the whole numeric pad disapeared.how may I fix it?I can't use my laptop's built in keypad [21:02] bodai, is numlock on? [21:02] HackeMate: You can generalize your search, if it works with Linux, there is way with Ubuntu too, also there sort of Ubuntu compatibility list. [21:02] Dvorak_AJS: if its a different terminal but was opened just after closing one in which you sudo'd, itll have the same terminal id and the sudo timeout still applies [21:02] KM0201: is it just that its a badly supported card? so i should use an older version of ubuntu. how far back should i go? [21:02] bodai, check your Fn keys that turn it on and off. [21:02] i tried with and without numlock [21:03] I looked /etc/smb.conf but there is nothing about my shared folders there, where nautilus stores shared foldes?? [21:03] hi al [21:03] all [21:03] bodai, system -> preferences -> keyboard, and make sure you have the right model selected? [21:03] maco, yes that's it! it doesn't do it now anymore... neato thanks (is my quoting on irc working out btw?) [21:03] first time here [21:03] shcherbak: thats what im looking for, i didnt see any white list of tv usb [21:03] eddiek1561: actually, i always thought that card was very well supported [21:03] now it functions as a second mouse [21:04] o_O [21:04] @dvorak glad you got that resolved, @maco - good to know, I didnt know that sudo carried on to multiple term sessions [21:04] how can I see with what command a running program was started? [21:04] Hi [21:04] :) [21:04] bodai, unfortunately, I have no idea why that would be. I didn't know you could turn a num pad into a mouse. [21:04] HOw much space should give the partition /home ? I have 80 gb in total on my hdd [21:05] esing 60GB [21:05] thx [21:05] bazhang: 60?.. really? [21:05] esing, depends, if its a single user system and you plan to keep your video or music on there, a fair bit. [21:05] hello, i am in egypt, i am trying to set up a squid proxy on my unbuntu box in san diego, how do i open access to all ips? [21:05] if i hit num7 the cursor turns up,i 1 it goes down and so on [21:05] with and without numlock [21:05] crond I dont have much music & video stuff [21:05] Line_ I would check the squid forums [21:06] trijntje: usually running programs are started with their own name and some options, as can be seen in ps axuww for example [21:06] bodai, hmm check accessability to make sure you didn't enable some weird mousekeys kind of thing [21:06] I gues I have maximum 20 gb music & video stuff if it comes in extrem [21:06] esing, then 40gb ought to be fine for /home, since applications typically arent installed there. /home is just for your stuff. [21:06] ah ok thx crond [21:07] :) [21:07] esing, I only partition out /boot (128mb) and linux-swap (usually the same amount of swap space as ram on the computer) why would you want to part out /home? [21:07] badger32d, presumably so that if he reinstalls, he can just set /home as a partition and not have to muck about. [21:07] oCean, got it, thanks a lot! [21:07] thank you so much.it was in the accesibility.dunno how it was turned on automatically. [21:08] bodai, np :) [21:08] :) [21:08] ehh, good call crond. I keep most of my stuff on an external and just map it that way. [21:10] what problem causes that sometimes on bootup x server is not turned on and goes to the character login screen? [21:11] cause on earlier ubuntu distros I didn't face this problem [21:11] hello, i was wondering if someone could give me a brief explanation of the differences between the *buntu distros [21:11] if there one that would be better to use as a server? [21:11] is* [21:11] panoukla [21:11] ubuntu server is the best for a server [21:11] unless you want a very minimal install [21:12] panoukla_: as server i would recommend centos or debian, but ubuntu server is good as well [21:12] or are on unusual hardwarte [21:12] debian, if you are used to ubuntu [21:12] good afternoon everyone [21:12] !server | panoukla_ [21:12] panoukla_: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ - Support in #ubuntu-server [21:13] I'm trying to get an init.d script running on Ubuntu but it seems they don't have stdout so SOMEVAR=`echo foo` doesn't work. Anyone know a way around that - i.e. getting output from wget into an env var? [21:13] Quick question where do I go to ask for questions concerning Amazon's free EC2? [21:14] brucec: set the PATH, use $(command) instead of ´ ´ [21:14] is there any channel on internet securitiy [21:14] then, if you don't mind me asking what are the differences between ubuntu and kubuntu for example. [21:14] schnuffle: I've also tried using $(wget...) but that doesn't seem to work either. I'm stumped [21:14] it works in an xterm, just not at boot [21:15] guys, anyone cares to explain briefly what do they mean by "linux administration" ? [21:15] brucec: shure the PATH is set? Don't count on the environement is tha same then in your user session [21:15] schnuffle: good point - I'll check [21:16] how would i remove: 2.6.37-997-generic ? [21:16] who JinkX ? [21:16] DominiCanes: there is ##security channel [21:16] ubuntu's default command line interpreter is GRUB right? [21:16] double #? [21:16] newphag: bash [21:16] my university asked me to give "linux administration" tutorial for newbs in our uni [21:17] DominiCanes: yes [21:17] thx man [21:17] Jink you lie [21:17] new on irc [21:17] disappearedng: do they offer support on irc at all? I don't such a channel on this network [21:17] blazon: why would i do that? [21:17] guntbert: what about #freenode? [21:17] JinkX: and you are asking use because..? This is ubuntu technical support. You better ask your university [21:17] schnuffle: wget works because I end up with a zero-length file due to the variable not being set [21:18] does this means http://pastebin.com/cyV1eNDH it will work? [21:18] schnuffle: I beg your pardon? [21:18] I messed up plymouth. How do I get it back to default? [21:18] how would i remove: 2.6.37-997-generic ? [21:18] oCean: but i just want to know what the term "linux administration" means, thats all === richard is now known as Guest92265 === RudyValencia is now known as RudyValenciaMobi [21:19] JinkX: it means someone who configures and sets up Linux === RudyValenciaMobi is now known as RudyValencia [21:19] JinkX, probably a fancy term for the basics of linux [21:19] guntbert: ? I beg your pardon<- does that mean Excuse me? no native speaker [21:19] lol === sean is now known as Guest43309 [21:20] brucec: thanks alot ! [21:20] bluezone: also, thank u ! [21:20] schnuffle: that should mean "I have no idea what you wanted to say to me" [21:21] guntbert: got it :) the answer to do they offer support on irc at all? I don't such a channel on this network [21:21] np [21:22] Im trying to insmod 8712u.ko for my rnx-n180UBE wiresless card, however when i do so the system locks up. [21:22] schnuffle: ah, you misunderstood, I was talking to someone else about support for EC2 [21:22] I was inconsistantly getting a 'Gave up waiting for root device' error on boot, added a rootdelay=90, but the system now sometimes boots and is unbearably slow, other times it will be fine. [21:25] schnuffle: looks like it was just a race between my script and the network - a "sleep 5" fixes it [21:25] s [21:26] Hi, I'm trying to mount a LUKS partition at login (GDM), but it fails every time I restart the machine, since /dev/sda1 ownership is reset to root (probably because udev creates the device nodes dynamically with root as owner). is there anything I could do to prevent this? [21:27] or is there a more "proper" way to go about this? [21:27] This may seem like a supremely stupid question, but a Xeon x5600 series is going to be EM64T, right? It is a Westmere.

[21:29] lmao [21:29] * crond facepalms [21:29] dumb noobies xD [21:29] hey guys. I'm trying to mount a usb drive, but i can't remember how to find the device id [21:29] bluezone: being new is nothing to be ashamed of. being obnoxious is ;-) [21:29] BootNinja: most of the time, you plug them in, and they auto mount [21:30] BootNinja: but sudo fdisk -l should show the device, if ou can't find it. [21:30] BootNinja: If your system isn't automounting, that's a different thing you'll have to fix...but to mount it manually, get the device ID by doing what KM0201 is saying, or reading dmesg output (I use dmesg | tail) [21:31] ohzie: i'm not having the prob, BootNinja is [21:31] other things automount but this card reader isn't for some reason [21:31] oh wait. [21:31] KM0201: Yes I know. [21:31] i am trying to install Windows Vista alongside Ubuntu [21:31] ohzie: yeah, i actually read what you said...lol [21:31] currently Ubuntu is installed and I am trying to create space to install Vista [21:32] sudo fdisk -l only shows my sata drive :( [21:32] can anyone tell me how I can change the format in my hard drive using Gparted [21:32] I believe you have to make a new partition from free space and then set it to ntfs, however you ought to google a guide on this or you'll run into bootloader issues. [21:32] datta, that is. [21:32] datta, you'll want to resize your partition and then create a new one. keep in mind since you installed ubuntu first you'll need to boot from the livecd and put grub back into the mbr [21:33] BootNinja: some card readers are just flakey.. I have one that is multi-slot that fits into a floppy drive bay and hooks to the motherboard usb headers.. doesn't work. All other external readers I have hooked via usb function.. [21:33] this is a usb reader for a cf card on my wife's digital slr [21:33] datta: first backup!!!, burn a gparted live cd, boot from it, check http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html [21:33] I just made a vista live USB drive for if I *need* windows for something. [21:34] all right seems confusing, maybe I will continue to use Vista through Virtualbox [21:34] BootNinja: can you hook the camera direct ? It might also have a usb setting mode in the camera itself [21:34] anyone know of a good small bin 2 iso converter. dont have a .cue file. i remember having to resort to a windows app last time and i cant remember hte name [21:34] I don't think so. and if so I don't think we have a cable for that. she bought it used [21:35] Bilz: http://www.howtodothings.com/computers-internet/how-to-convert-cue-bin-nrg-img-mdf-files-to-iso-files-on-ubuntu-linux [21:36] izinucs, dont have .cue file.... [21:36] Bilz, well, sudo apt-cache search convert bin iso gives me several results [21:36] Bilz: don't need one.. in the example they use bfchunk ... they included the .cue file as an example [21:37] Hi all, I've removed the default bottompanel (was trying docky), is there a way to restore it? [21:37] bchunk looks like what you want. [21:37] 16:37 Hi all, I've removed the default bottompanel (was trying docky), is there a way to restore it? i did the same thing [21:37] Chelsea: right click the top panel. click add panel [21:38] Ok new problem: I've got a Ubuntu machine that keeps resetting. It'll get through the BIOS, and say "GRUB LOADING", then reset. I got it to get to the ubuntu screen (the circle logo thing), then it went to a screen of all text that said "kernel panic, dropping to text console" and locked up. [21:38] how do i rip dvd movies with ubuntu [21:38] daniel__, ogmrip [21:39] Oh wait nevermind, it just booted up x_x [21:39] izinucs, you DO need one [21:39] whitespirit, there is "add to panel", but that adds stuff to the top one. Can't add a bottom panel that way. [21:39] daniel__: try ogmrip or handbrake [21:39] So now I get to a login screen and it resets [21:39] sudo apt-get install ogmrip? [21:39] daniel__, for what device(s) [21:39] daniel__, yes === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [21:39] um i have a dell votsro 1000 and want to rip xmen to my computer [21:39] How do I create a USB installer of a ISO bootable file? [21:40] daniel__, there are some recommends you may wish to install as well [21:40] Chelsea_, at the bottom of the menu when you right click, there should be an "Add panel" button. [21:40] *"New panel" [21:40] Tjololo12: Have you tried running a memory test? [21:40] daniel__: handbreak [21:40] daniel__ use Handbreak or Ogmrip. [21:40] daniel__, you can choose the option --install-recommends at the end of that command [21:40] For the life of me, I cant get user permissoins to work on samba. guest shares are okay, but it keeps telling em of when I try to use usernames for home directorys [21:40] ok, progress. I can see the card when I use the command lsusb, but it doesn't tell me which device in /dev it is :( [21:40] philip_, unetbootin ought to work for you. Or, Startup Disc Creator in the System -> Admin menu, if you're already on ubuntu [21:40] Jordan_U: No, good idea. Lemme pop to a memtest disk and I'll let you know the results. [21:41] philip_, unetbootin is in the repos as well [21:41] philip_: startup disk creator [21:41] philip_: It depends on the iso. Not all isos can be made to boot via USB drive. [21:41] Windows 7 ISO. [21:41] philip_, are you on ubuntu ? [21:42] !panels > daniel__ ::how to reset your panels: [21:42] daniel__, please see my private message [21:42] Ubuntu 10.10. [21:42] then not supported here [21:42] philip_, try ##windows [21:42] philip_: this is a very good tool http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ [21:42] philip_, you need to make the usb drive a ntfs partition, format it, set it bootable, copy the ISO files to the drive, then use ms-sys -y /dev/usbdrivehere to make it bootable. [21:42] whitespirit, ah, new panel, yes, is that the only way? There's no way to restore the old one? [21:42] philip_, er ms-sys -7 [21:42] with all default settings. [21:43] I was inconsistantly getting a 'Gave up waiting for root device' error on boot, added a rootdelay=90, but the system now sometimes boots and is unbearably slow, other times it will be fine. [21:43] Chelsea_: you want to restore your panels? [21:43] I'd stay on Ubuntu but I need Windows for my IPod =.= grr, starting to hate Apple. [21:43] Chelsea_: http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html [21:44] philip_, afaik ipods are supported by banshee, etc. [21:44] philip_: thought XP in vbox?... and only booting xp in vbox when you need to sync? thats what i do w/ my zunes and ipods [21:44] !panels | Chelsea_ [21:44] Chelsea_: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [21:44] It won't work. [21:44] crond: they are, but honestly, as bad as itunes is, it is still better than most linux tools [21:44] philip_: what wont' work? [21:44] philip_, I'd check google, many people have ipods and use linux. However, I've moved on to using an android device, so sadly I can't say how its done anymore. [21:45] I tried plugging in my IPOd and my Host OS sees it but my Virtual OS does not. [21:45] philip_: then you're doing something wrong... [21:45] philip_: you were told earlier that the OSE verion of virtualbox does not support usb. [21:45] philip_: are you using the version from virtualbox.org or the OSE version from the repositories? [21:45] ok, apparently it's my card, because putting a different card in worked [21:45] bastidrazor: oh thast right, i remember him now. [21:46] I installed oracle vm virtual box and not OSE. [21:46] philip_: so you downloaded it from virtualbox.org [21:46] bastidrazor, spot on, thanks! [21:46] Yes,. [21:46] hey im sorry my computer froze up i was wondering what i should type into the terminal to get a good dvd riper [21:46] Chelsea_: you're welcome === mauricio is now known as Guest11234 [21:46] philip_: go to system/admin/users and groups [21:47] danie402, sudo apt-get install ogmrip [21:47] danie402, sudo apt-get install ogmrip [21:47] ok thats it ? [21:47] philip_: are you there? [21:47] YEah [21:47] danie402, you can install the recommends as well [21:47] could someone familiar with samba help me get local usernames working on a share set with user security? [21:47] philip_: highlight your user and choose "advanced settings" [21:47] ugh [21:47] ogmrip wants to install esound [21:47] then click the "user priv." tab [21:47] lol have no clue what that evan means [21:48] * crond takes issue with this. [21:48] philip_: after you click the user priv. tab,, make sure that "virtualbox" is checked. [21:48] danie402, sudo apt-get install ogmrip --install-recommends [21:48] bazhang, any idea why ogmrip wants to install ESD? [21:48] crond, no idea, did not affect my pulseaudio setup though [21:49] bazhang, hmm okay. That's what had me worried. [21:49] danie402: open a terminal and enter what bazhang pasted [21:49] ok sounds good [21:49] its really superior to handbrake for this [21:49] why would having a usb device plugged in slow grub2 down to standstill on boot? [21:49] hmm I ought to install vdpau. [21:49] bazhang: i second that and matroska is just way better than avi [21:50] schnuffle, it has a *ton* of settings as well, for the ipad, iphone ps3 etc etc [21:50] ie presets [21:51] I bought my 2nd brand new 1tb hd and this one won't install ubuntu either... [21:51] greyfiend, check the boot messages? replace splash with text [21:51] philip_: did you get it working? [21:51] GanjaReefer, maybe its set to readonly. [21:52] whitespirit, huh... ? [21:52] alguem sabe como hackear blog?? [21:52] pois perdi o meu e nao sei recuperar [21:52] educacao, english here please [21:53] oh yes [21:53] so what is the current accepted way to decide if a service gets started at boot? update-rc.d ? [21:53] anyone managed to install redmine in ubuntu? it's the second time I'm trying and I still can't make it work [21:53] prodigel, install from where [21:54] bazhang, followed this link: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/howto_install_redmine_in_ubuntu [21:54] prodigel, its in the repos, you know [21:55] bazhang, as you see in the link I've installed it from the repos [21:55] prodigel, could you please elaborate on the errors then [21:55] \join #uva [21:56] !uptime [21:56] WindowsVista Uptime: 17wks 5hrs 58mins 44secs Best: 17wks 5hrs 58mins 44secs [21:56] Jordan_U: I'm 37% of the way through pass 1 with memtest and there are no errors. Any other suggestions? [21:56] can anyone explain why when I watch a downloaded movie with ubuntu movie player it stops when 30 mns have elapsed? I can watch it completely with vlc [21:56] I am having a problem where when I log into ubuntu, it logs me back out. I have tried to repair using a usb drive but there is not option and when I try to install it says that it can't. [21:56] I keep getting DRDY /Sata reset errors ending in EH handshake complete 2nd 1tb drive that is doa ? [21:56] synical, disable that script please [21:57] educacao, try all these passwords: http://sec.angrypacket.com/files/common-passwords.txt [21:57] shouldnt take long [21:57] bazhang, Sure. accessing the defined virtualhost doesn't work, I get displayed a script, so apache is not parsing the cgi file in .httaccess. Afterwards I've tried accessing dispatch.fcgi which tries to do something, but returns an error in the log: " mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server" I don't know ruby, so I don't know where that should lead me [21:57] Anyone know to hack blogger because I lost my password and no longer know how to recover it? please someone help me [21:58] educacao, contact blogger, that has nothing to do with ubuntu [21:58] whitespirit, that kind of help is not allowed here [21:58] bazhang, nothing very obvious except every now and then it seems to take much longer than normal to go through the process and on these occasions the whole systems remains very slow after boot. [21:59] very simplified smb.conf. test user ok. directory permissions okay. Have a look and tell me why user is failing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/559241/ thanks in advance [21:59] bazhang: but you know that all the super l33t hackers use linux, and when I asked google what was linux it sent me to ubuntu!! [21:59] bazhang, any ideas? [22:00] greyfiend, you could check the text messages to see what errors there are, as it boot by modifying in the grub menu hold shift at boot and replace quiet splash with text [22:00] ok [22:00] Tjololo12: i wouldn't say super l33t hackers use linux, but i'm sure some do... [22:00] anyone know to hack blogge because i lost my password and no longer know how to recover it? please somenone help me [22:00] prodigel, not very familiar with redmine, let me do a websearch [22:00] I am having a problem where when I log into ubuntu, it logs me back out. [22:00] educacao, stop asking here [22:01] 'twas just a joke KM0201, because for some reason that seems to be the general consensus of the younger generations. [22:01] bazhang, yup I just did that, but there's no obvious errors it seems to just be going slower sometimes, mainly from cold start. [22:02] greyfiend, something important on the usb stick or hdd (do not recall which) ie bootloader or the like? [22:02] I have been searching everywhere for something that can do this: I need a media server that can take a variety of inputs (live video cameras, rtp/rtsp streams, and video files), archive the live video feeds to disk, while also providing a variety of outputs (multicast rtp video feeds for the live streams, and rtp/rtsp video feeds for the archived video/other video files) I also want the ability to do transcoding as the bandwidth in some parts of my network is qu [22:02] ite limited, (1.2 Mbs) while in other parts is around 80 Mbs. So I need to be able to transcode easily. And I would like a multi user web based system to control when you would want a stream etc. [22:03] Hey guys [22:03] b0ot, like xbmc? [22:03] Hello all! Is anyone here using djbnds on Ubuntu? [22:03] bazhang, can xbmc do all of that? [22:03] bazhang, it's a usb digital tv receiver :( [22:04] I'm trying to set up serial console support on my server. Right now I've got console=tty0 console=ttyS0,57600 which I thought would have output going to my VGA display and the serial port, as of now I only get output on the serial port and my VGA display is blank [22:04] thanks [22:04] prodigel, there is a channel #redmine here on freenode, they may have some insight if you don't get a satisfactory answer here [22:05] bazhang, I'm there already ;) [22:05] bazhang, thanks for the effort, anyway [22:06] Hey I've got a bit of an issue.... actually a big issue... I have an ubuntu server that I just today upgraded from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 10.10 via SSH. it's a home box with the GUI disabled. But, the DNS is broken. I can't look up any hosts off of this machine now, and it can't connect to anything except via IP. [22:06] Hey, when I try and ssh into my pc using external IP, I either get connection timed out or no route to host... From what I can tell, the port forwarding on the router is setup fine. [22:06] hi there! [22:07] can i resize a partition with Gparted? [22:07] datta, yep [22:07] Nach0z1337, check /etc/resolv.conf ? [22:07] Nach0z1337 - what does cat /etc/resolv.conf give you? [22:07] lol [22:07] ;D [22:09] uh, badger32d and whitespirit , it says "search dynDNS.org" and "# Generated by NetworkManager" and nothing else [22:09] Anyone using djbdns on Ubuntu? (dnscache, tinydns) [22:09] try adding nameserver 8.8.8.8 and nameserver 208.67.222.222 [22:09] on seperate lines. [22:09] bazhang: how? when i click on the partition its totally used up or there is no unallocated space here is the current gparted configuration: http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshotdevsdagparted.png/ [22:10] when i right click on the white space, i cannot resize it [22:10] datta, is it mounted? [22:10] hey i have a problem with the terminal it says dpkg was interrupted you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a to correct the problem do i just do that [22:10] datta, you are booting from livecd right? [22:10] danie402, yes [22:10] no [22:11] it's installed in my computer [22:11] what does that do ? [22:11] datta, you need to boot from live cd or gparted live cd [22:12] all right, so now if i try to install both windows vista and ubuntu along side in two partitions, then i have to uninstall my current ubuntu also right? [22:13] is there any way to burn an up-to-date ubuntu installation CD? [22:14] bazhang u are awesome thank u [22:14] Oh hey, badger32d, it just worked. thanks === 13WAA2X1E is now known as TuX0r [22:14] Is there a significant performance difference between software raid0 and lvm striping? [22:14] Nach0z1337, glad to hear it, if you ever have dns issues, /etc/resolv.conf is the first place to check. :) [22:14] RenatoSilva: do you mean the ubuntu iso? [22:15] keyboarddrummer: "the"? [22:15] keyboarddrummer: it may be an iso, or direct burning === q_a_z_steve is now known as q_a_z_steve|afk [22:16] keyboarddrummer: I just want to install an updated ubuntu on a pc which has only dial-up [22:16] hm, everything seems to have crashed except x-chat, is there a task manager somewhere? [22:17] Just wondering if anyone might know if there's any possibility for setting an xkbvariant in x11vnc. I'm trying to use my server from my Mac laptop but can't find how to use the "us: mac" variant, considering it's even possible. Thanks. [22:18] RenatoSilva: You would have to download an appropriate ISO from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download (for Ubuntu Desktop 10.10). Then you would burn it to a disk (directions available as a link on the page). Boot from the disk and select "Install" [22:18] MC8: top? [22:18] woudl anyone know how to go from macbunta back to ubuntu ? [22:18] keyboarddrummer: I'm sorry??? [22:18] nope, that's frozen too [22:18] keyboarddrummer: how about the up-to-date part? [22:18] anyone using djbdns? [22:18] MC8: top frozen? wow [22:18] keyboarddrummer: afaik the iso from ubuntu.com is not up-to-date, is it? how much? [22:19] guys i have a question, when the systems starts up it tells me that it can not load certain partition [that i removed) [22:19] how do i edit the partition table [22:20] retefer: sudo nano /etc/fstab [22:20] RenatoSilva: it's usually not 100% up to date, you'll install, and spend about 10-15min updating, then you'll be gold. [22:20] so no longer get press S to skip at the begining [22:20] RenatoSilva: I'm sorry. I misunderstood that. I'm not sure. [22:20] KM0201: 10-15min updating on a dial-up connection??? [22:20] Can anyone recommend a good DNS for Ubuntu? [22:20] RenatoSilva: you didn't mention you were on dial up.. most of the world is on high speed now, so i just assumed you were on high speed... no, it will take considerably longer on a dial up connection [22:20] lloowen: dns as in a server or cacher? [22:21] RenatoSilva: yes, updates can range anywhere from 50kb to to 200-300mb [22:21] lloowen: dnsmasq for simple task, its easy to setup [22:21] lloowen: unbound does well.. or even bind9 as for cacher dnsmasq does great [22:21] KM0201: sorry, yes I did [22:21] RenatoSilva: then i missed it. [22:21] while i try to open remote storage from nautilus i am getting an error "Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) Please select another viewer and try again." [22:22] does anyone know how to install plugins on gimp.. (tar.gz file) [22:22] thank you rww [22:22] KM0201: ok, so it is the 10.10 release + updates, but something like a week old or so? [22:22] hello [22:22] hi === mike is now known as Guest22667 [22:23] ubun: theres a package in the repos called "gimp-cbmplugs" which is described as gimp plugins.... what plugin do you need? [22:23] Can anyone help me with something [22:23] schnuffle: bastidrazor:OK I'll take a look at dnsmasq and unbound. I've been trying to install djbdns on Ubuntu, but it does not seem to install. Can't find any viable solution on the net. [22:23] Guest22667, you have to tell us the problem first :) [22:23] Guest22667: only if you ask a question. [22:23] the updates available for ubuntu are about as limited as any other OS, mac, windows... it updates when the updates are available, just like every other OS [22:23] goltoof, KM0201, keyboarddrummer: thanks all [22:24] KM0201: oh let me look at that ... i want liquify or liquid [22:24] Well i'm using ubuntu 5.04 on my old school laptop im using now, is there anyway to get the latest firefox onto it? [22:24] or possibly google chrome [22:24] Guest22667, are you sure it's ubuntu 5.04? warthog? [22:24] Guest22667 - I'd update to a much later version of *buntu [22:24] hoary hedghog [22:25] ubun: what plugin? curious, haven't fudged with gimp plugins [22:25] Guest22667: extremely unlikely... 5.04.. you'll never be able to resolve all the dependencies [22:25] I'm pretty sure it's all i can run on this [22:25] Guest22667: specs? [22:25] 512 ram 12 gig hd lol [22:25] goltoof: liquify or liquid [22:25] Guest22667, wow ... ok thats really old :) [22:25] haha yea im messing around with it [22:25] Guest22667: i think we discussed this earlier.. you can run aptosid, or lubuntu just fine on that [22:25] Guest22667, my guess is that you are going to have some difficutly installing chrome or a newer firefox with that [22:25] what is lubuntu? === voidmage-away is now known as voidmage [22:26] Guest22667: http://www.lubuntu.net [22:26] does anybody know why when i have a wine virtual desktop going, notify bubbles stop? [22:26] !lubuntu | Guest22667 [22:26] lightweight desktop environment [22:26] Guest22667: lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu . /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [22:26] Guest22667, lubuntu runs the lxde desktop environment [22:26] Guest22667, it is very minimal [22:26] ubun: liquid rescale? hmm, like rescaling, but, better? [22:27] so you think i can run lubuntu with a pentium processor and 512 ram [22:27] goltoof: yeah... to make you skinnier fatter all that good stuff [22:27] Guest22667: Definitely. [22:27] Guest22667: if you want to step outside of Ubuntu, aptosid(w/ xfce) is quite light, and so is crunchbang, but i would start w/ Lubuntu [22:27] does anybody know why when i have a wine virtual desktop going, notify bubbles stop? [22:27] alright cool ill make an iso and try it out [22:27] ubun: i preffer "export" .. faster :P [22:27] Guest22667: i'm guessing it will actually run just fine on that system.... whats the proc. speed again? [22:27] Is aptosid hard to use? [22:28] Guest22667: try lubuntu first... cuz aptosid is based on Debian, which is not as easy as ubuntu [22:28] ubun: You mean like draw a window smaller, but it stays for a few ms and then bounce in/out like a wave? [22:28] goltoof: export? your know more than i do [22:28] That would suck imo :P [22:28] Guest22667, make sure you check the md5sums on that iso before burning and if possible burn it at 1x speed [22:28] ubun: i mean convert [22:28] pentium 3 700 mhz lol [22:28] :) [22:28] Guest22667: yeah, i bet lubuntu will run fine on it... [22:28] ubun: ie, convert -resize 50% image.png image.png [22:28] ok ill try it out [22:29] thanks [22:29] ubun: beats opening the image in gimp, rescaling, etc [22:29] Is there a way I can get the computer to store the output of the command "date" to a file, overwriting it every second so that I have a file that contains the current date and time? [22:29] hi [22:29] it's pretty cool using a retro distro though haha [22:29] KM0201 -- will aptosid run flash? ala youtube, hulu? [22:29] Guest22667: keep in mind though, w/ your limited ram, the Live CD may not run very well... you might need to get the alternate install cd (text installer) [22:29] I mean where you can touch up photos, like what they do to the movie stars. like add hips or thin the waste [22:29] ubun: but as far as the lossyness, idk [22:29] bluegrue26: far as i know it will. [22:29] anyone know anything about notify-osd and can answer my question? [22:29] !anyone [22:29] bluegrue26: i've not messed w/ it a whole lot i have it in vbox.. and i recall it working fine w/ flash [22:29] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:30] goltoof: i've asked my question 3 times already and haven't heard from anyone and would have gotten hit with !repeat [22:30] :3 [22:30] hi, I'm thinking of buying a netbook to use Ubuntu as my operating system. Since all netbooks come nowadays with windows 7 starter, I'd like to know how much money I'll be wasting by buying their license only to remove it [22:30] Guest22667, or the minimal install cd ,, I believe it has lubuntu on there as an option ...the advantage of minimal cd is that most of it is downloaded as you install its a very small cd 12 megs I believe [22:30] ubottu -- ok [22:30] ok is thanks - added by Pici on 2008-05-14 16:23:15 - last edited by Pici on 2008-05-14 16:23:21 [22:30] hi all [22:30] ubun: GIMP can do that.. but there is no default action for it, it depends on the photo [22:30] voidmage: sorry... reflex [22:30] Guest22667, and if it doesnt have lubuntu desktop you can choose to install nothing and then in stall lxde at the command prompt after install of the base system [22:30] pticochon: probably 65-75 tops. unfortunately, you don't really have a choice. [22:31] duh [22:31] ubun: bernardv is right, rescale the image... but offtopic anyway.. try #gimp [22:31] i have a little question, in redhat i type rpm -qa php*, in ubuntu how to know all the packages installed with php pattern ? [22:31] thanks KM0201 [22:31] well im trying to install it. i found it i just dont know how to do it. [22:31] i know what it is i just dont know how to install it [22:31] Guest22667, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:31] does anybody know why when i have a wine virtual desktop going, notify bubbles stop unless it's minimized? [22:31] Whats the best distribution (even outside of ubuntu) for running flash video-- hulu, you tube, etc. ? [22:32] voidmage: wine vdesktop? just what exactly are you trying to run? [22:32] bluegrue26: They are all pretty much equal. [22:32] where are store password from the gnome keyring [22:32] ubun: sudo apt-get install gimp [22:32] Guest22667, after booting in that follow all of the directions...eventually a menu will appear for installation...choose nothing and let it finish.... if you choose something use the arrow keys to scroll and the "SPace" bar to choose [22:32] goltoof: i usually keep steam running in a virtual desktop on workspace #2 [22:32] coz_: on the minimal cd, does it give you the choice of which GUI to install, etc? [22:32] goltoof: but when i do that, the notify bubbles only show up if they're critical priority [22:32] BernardV: he means the liquid rescale plugin [22:32] Ah ok [22:33] no not gime the PLUGIN [22:33] Jordan_U: meaning they kindof suck? [22:33] bluegrue26: Yes. [22:33] KM0201, yes is does I am not sure if lubuntu desktop is on ther however [22:33] Jordan_U: haha [22:33] coz_: ah ok... i think his ram limitations will kinda suck w/ gnome, kde, or xfce [22:33] good night for all [22:33] im on #gimp now to get help there too [22:33] cya later [22:33] Guest22667, so install it choosing nothing and at the command prompt sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop or sudo apt-get install lxde [22:34] KM0201, yes indeed, that's why the minimal install cd at 12 megs is ideal [22:34] coz_: if he's gonna do that, i'd just download and install lubuntu... wouldn't that be easier? [22:34] !ot | ubun [22:34] ubun: #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! [22:34] ubun: try #gimp [22:34] coz_: why not use the lubuntu alternate install cd? [22:34] KM0201, well with only a 12meg cd to burn there is far less chance of corrupted downloads [22:34] voidmage: sorry, what's steam? [22:34] KM0201, but either way would be fine [22:35] goltoof: What you said with convert can be done ;) [22:35] goltoof: a windows app for games - steampowered.com [22:35] voidmage: and if you mean a virtual machine, virtualbox is the way to go [22:35] coz_, just write to a flash drive, burning a 12mb dvd seems wasteful [22:35] goltoof: but this happens with any wine app i run on a virtual desktop [22:35] coz_: yeah, but..c orrupted downloads, vs low system specs, are two separate issues. [22:35] goltoof: and no, i don't mean a vm [22:35] BernardV: yes indeady [22:35] goltoof: convert image.ext -liquid-rescale 50x100%\! new_image.ext [22:35] KM0201, this is true and the minimal install cd relies on internet connection rather than ram [22:35] It will resize the image to 50% width, 100% height and liquid [22:37] ubun: http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/resize/ [22:37] Nice examples [22:37] Anyone know what would cause Ubuntu 9.10 to randomly reset that is not related to the PSU, RAM, BIOS, fan, and is not (as far as I can tell) reflected in the logs? [22:37] Tjololo12: Bad mem ? [22:37] Tjololo12, overheating? [22:37] You are sure its not RAM? [22:37] BernardV: ran Memtest+ 4.20 and came back with no errors. [22:38] crond: That could be.. [22:38] coz_: strange, lubuntu doesn't seem to have a alt. cd [22:38] Also don't rule out a PSU [22:38] voidmage: does Steam work well on Wine? I've always had bad experiences using Wine. [22:38] crond: the fan works perfectly and (from what I could see last time I was in bios) the CPU temp was hovering around 40 Celsius [22:38] Tjololo12, what about GPU? [22:38] BernardV: I checked the PSU with a multimeter and everything was within spec [22:38] KM0201, ah ok then the minimal install cd and then sudo apt-get install lxde might be the best way to go [22:39] coz_: yep, you may well be correct on that [22:39] crond: GPU overheating? I hadn't really thought about that becuase it's built into the motherboard and we've never had a problem with that in the past...Do you know how I could test that? [22:39] Tjololo12: That's not what I mean.. voltage is not important, amps.. that's the one you'll need [22:39] Dangr_: wine's worked great the last few years, pretty much everything works unless it requires .net framework (in which case you're boned) [22:39] A defect PSU can give a nice 12V, but if it tops out @ 20 AMPS you have a problem === afsdk is now known as _TheMaster [22:40] voidmage: I use virtual box for my windows needs, does Wine do well with the Adobe Creative Suite - like Photoshop or Illustrator? [22:40] Dangr_: no clue on adobe stuff [22:40] hi, dvd is not playing on laptop, help? I using sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [22:40] voidmage: crap- thanks though. I'll have to read into it. [22:40] Guest22667, so if you do minimal as I said after installation you will be presented just test console at which point you will log in then sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [22:40] Guest22667: coz_ you might find this really handy using the minimal cd to install lubuntu https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp/MinimalInstall [22:40] Dangr_, check the appdb [22:40] Tjololo12, well, what model GPU have you got? (If you have an intel integrated, odds are you're fine). Specifically, is it an nvidia 8400-series? [22:40] BernardV: would it matter that this system has been working perfectly for quite some time and the problem just started? IE the PSU hasn't been changed...Or is that something that could go bad.

[22:40] bazhang: ah nice, thanks [22:41] Tjololo12: I had a system that went crazy all of a sudden, it was the PSU [22:41] obvioiusly the only thing you'd need to change, is to use the 10.10 mini iso(assuming you want an up to date sytem) [22:41] Bought a new cheap ass PSU to test and all problems where solved [22:41] is the cosmos background for ubuntu on gnome .... is it a gif type deal or is it just a folder with pictures ... in short how how do you make an animated desktop [22:41] BernardV: I'm not sure what you mean by a scope. crond I'm trying to look it up, it doesn't say on the case x_x [22:41] Not that this is the same problem, but it could be [22:41] BernardV, oh yes a psu problem can cause strange issues at times [22:42] BernardV: it could be. I've got a twin system I could try swapping the PSU out and see if it happens again. [22:42] coz_ agreed [22:42] Tjololo12, lspci | grep VGA [22:42] Tjololo12: I mean http://www.best-microcontroller-projects.com/image-files/oscilloscope.jpg [22:42] Or something like that [22:42] I just updated my computer and with the new kernel, I lost wireless. when I try to upgrade linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic which has the wireless module I need, I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/559269/ [22:42] hi, dvd is not playing on laptop, help? I using sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [22:43] kieko: Do you have a dvd drive or a cd drive? [22:43] crond: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) [22:43] kieko, I believe VLC supports dvds out of the box, or check out medibuntu [22:43] Tjololo12, yeah, probably not GPU overheating. [22:43] It's a desktop. but in a place I can't run a wire. Right now I have a laptop with a bridged wireless and wired connection to get internet to it. [22:43] BernardV: nah, we're not lucky to have that sophisticated of equipment, lol [22:43] BernardV, lenovoR60e, i believe it is dvd [22:43] NixGeek: what is the wireless device on the pc? [22:43] GeekMan, there seems to be a compiz set of plugins that can do that [22:44] So with that ruled out, it basically comes down to PSU? You don't think it could be software related? [22:44] crond will check vlc [22:44] hi [22:44] Quick question, any one on natty? Upgrade from 10.10 with out issues? or fresh? [22:44] Juggalo_X, #ubuntu+1 for natty [22:44] !natty | Juggalo_X it's a mess right now, its alpha [22:44] Juggalo_X it's a mess right now, its alpha: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [22:44] kieko: Ok that ruled out one possibility :) [22:44] compiz (im still linux retarded lol) [22:44] Hi folks [22:45] does anyone know why a module, which is both entered in /etc/modules and can be manually modprobed after boot, may not be getting loaded during the modprobe part of init? :| [22:45] Tjololo12: You can make a simple scope with a few resistors, a potentiometer and a soundcard [22:45] I was wondering if I could ask a question, and if I can't get an answer maybe someone can point me in the right direction [22:45] yarbo, go ahead and ask [22:45] Ideal to test PSU's etc on a soundcard [22:45] BernardV, how do you figure? [22:45] Okay, so I have Ubuntu Server Edition 10.10 installed, and am trying to set up a samba server. [22:45] thanks guyss thats all i wanted to know, Im running a natty compiled kernel on my 10.10 right now and it helped some issues i was having with my laptop. didnt know if the rest was worth hopping into yet. [22:45] KM0201: it's a tp-link tl-wn727N usb adapter [22:45] BernardV: I'll have to look that up eventually, but I don't have the resources here right now. [22:45] Everything works fine in my internal network [22:46] yarbo, what is the question? [22:46] , but when I try to connect remotely it works with the IP address and one host name I mapped, we'll say test.abc.com [22:46] But if I try to connect with the other domain I set up we'll say xyz.com [22:46] it doesn't work [22:46] were would i get the plugins [22:46] ah networking I am a doof with networking [22:46] NixGeek: and you said linux-compat-wireless, is already installed? [22:46] yarbo, SMB uses broadcast for browsing, which provides you with your 'hostname'. it does not route. [22:47] yarbo, that's a protocol design issue. [22:47] kreignf: input of a soundcard is like 1VPP, PSU has an output of 12V so make about a 1:20 devider with a potentiometer (and a 10k resistor in the line to keep the current low) [22:47] kreignf: why would it work with one domain, but not another? [22:47] Is common JAVA the free java version? [22:47] Is common JAVA the free java version? [22:47] :) [22:47] esing: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:47] BernardV, hmm ok - that's kinda a cheap way to go about testing the sine output, I suppose ;) [22:47] It works [22:47] KM0201: yes, but it doesn't seem to have it for the newest kernel, 2.6.32-28 [22:47] I've used it.. [22:47] So BernardV, crond, you suggest that it's most likely a PSU issue? [22:48] Can anyone here tell me if ~7 hours is a decent time to transcode from m2ts to x264? [22:48] I have a scope, but for cheap ass testing on location ;) [22:48] Tjololo12, I'm gonna go with BernardV here, if you have a PSU you can swap out and check with, do that. [22:48] kreignf BernardV , sorry to interupt, what is the issue you're discussing? it hardly sounds ubuntu related [22:48] BernardV, interesting to know. my exp is that the 3v rail is the most common one to not work properly [22:48] 3.3v [22:49] NixGeek: 2.6.32-28? .. hmm, i've got 2.6.37, 2.6.35-22, etc. [22:49] kreignf: Any chance you know of some resources that could help me figure this out, as you seem to know what my problem is... from your previous answer. [22:49] crond: Ok. I'll try that then. [22:49] BernardV, I've powered a small transistor radio and listened for static on the line, but that's about it... [22:49] kreignf: I am OK with looking into it myself, but so far all of my research online has turned up nothing really. [22:49] goltoof: We are just talking about: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599098 [22:49] ok, it was kinda a large radio... but you get my point [22:49] BernardV: thx [22:49] holas [22:49] mostly forum posts of peolpe who have problems that are sort of the same, but not quite. [22:49] alguna bolivianita [22:49] yarbo, are both servers samba systems? [22:49] por ahy [22:49] hay [22:49] yarbo, both domains rather [22:50] kreignf: Both domains point to the same IP address [22:50] kreignf: See the link I just posted;) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=599098 [22:50] It's easy to use.. [22:50] what's this? [22:50] gangdrama, ubuntu support [22:50] kreignf: when I am at home, and on my own network it works fine. When I am remote, it works with one domain, but not the other. No idea why. [22:50] GAH [22:50] stupid non-quitting flash plugin [22:50] KM0201: I need this package: linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-28-generic and I can't seem to find it. [22:50] yarbo, pastebin your samba configuration file(s) somewhere for me (pastie.net or something) [22:50] NixGeek, did you enable backports? [22:51] I have a Hauppage usb digital tv receiver that seems to work except that when the computer cold wboots with it plugged in I get 'giving up waiting for root device' works fine on a soft boot and card functions perfectly otherwise any ideas? [22:51] NixGeek: probably because youre not connected to the internet [22:51] i'm new to linux [22:51] NixGeek, did you enable backports in synaptic package manager? [22:51] kreignf: Will do, one moment. [22:51] i wanna make some friends [22:51] here [22:51] gangdrama, not the channel for that [22:51] ok [22:51] gangdrama, try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:51] gangdrama, try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:51] thanks [22:51] thank you [22:51] BernardV, you use that with load on the PSU? what I've found is that no load = ghosts are hard to find. [22:52] hmm.. wonder if this could replace our network analyzers :) [22:52] I've got an old p4 I load up with [22:52] goltoof, god that's an awesome idea [22:52] those analyzers are expensive. :| [22:52] save us a few hundred k on new ones [22:52] NixGeek: http://pkgs.org/ubuntu-10.04/ubuntu-proposed-main-i386/linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic_2.6.32.28.31_i386.deb.html [22:52] kreignf: Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/wTcZsNeg [22:52] no ship [22:52] KM0201: I'm guessning I did as it shows linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-26-generic and linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-27-generic, just not linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-28-generic. [22:53] does anyone know why a module, which is both entered in /etc/modules and can be manually modprobed after boot, may not be getting loaded during the modprobe part of init? :| === bababooey is now known as foofooey [22:53] meh too much trouble to try to make a changing background [22:53] kreignf, you could try force=1 on the module line [22:53] NixGeek: that name/version, does not look right... [22:53] I believe thats the correct syntax... [22:53] crond, eg: : modulename force=1 ? [22:54] NixGeek: http://pkgs.org/package/linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-27-generic === Shadow is now known as Guest87855 [22:54] kreignf: No load on a PSU is bad. The 12V line is regulated by the 3.3 and 5v line. So if there is no load on 3.3 or 5v the 12V line will "bounce" in voltage.. because it can't be regulated. Every uC regulator has to have some load to give a clean voltage [22:54] some one needs to make something like (gags at the idea of windows) my pictures screen saver where u just use a file folder [22:54] kreignf, I believe so, I'm trying to double check === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [22:54] How can I delete a folder tree in the menu of Ubuntu? [22:55] GeekMan, gnome has that already [22:55] I.E. "games" [22:55] esing: rm -r * [22:55] okay, thats for 27, NOT 28, which is what I need... [22:55] esing: right clcik menu, edit menu, remove it [22:55] yarbo, how do you reference those hosts? [22:55] goltoof: don't be a douchebag [22:55] So if you ever use a PSU for 12V, put a bit of load on the 5V line, just a simple fan would do or a 3W resistor of 1k or so [22:55] Hi! Can anyone recommend a good stock or investment application that works in Ubuntu? Thanks! (I have tried GRISM, jStock,eclipse trader, etc) Seeing if there is anything else out there I could try. [22:55] esing from the menu? rightclick edit [22:55] yarbo, eg. ping foo.bar.com and ping foo.bing.com ? [22:55] kreignf, yes, modulename force=1 [22:55] esing: do not do what that moron goltoof told you to do. [22:56] crond, very odd; any idea why it might do that? [22:56] KM0201 ok thx [22:56] esing: whoa... yeah DON"T do that [22:56] KM0201 would that delete my harddrive? [22:56] esing: not w/o sudo... but it could make a mess. [22:56] KM0201: honestly didn't mean that [22:56] k [22:56] goltoof: sure.. [22:57] kreignf, correction, add a .conf for that module in /etc/modprobe.conf with options modulename force=1 [22:57] kreignf: But testing a PSU with load I use my rigol (cheap) digital scope and save the data on another computer [22:57] goltoof: there's no logicla reason to even suggest such a command, unless you're being reckless. [22:57] kreignf, so, for myself, I have i8k in /etc/modules and in /etc/modprobe.d/i8k.conf I have options i8k force=1 [22:57] else it doesnt load [22:57] ah thanks crond [22:57] I deleted the whole menu [22:57] how can I recover it? [22:58] KM0201, I use that all the time, but I know what I'm doing, of course, I agree with you that it shouldnt be done by people who don't know what they are doing. [22:58] kreignf, np [22:58] esing: well that was dumb, you should have just "unchecked it" so it wouldn't show. [22:58] kreignf: Hey sorry I am scrolling up to read your response, a phone call came in and I was distraced [22:58] distracted [22:58] yarbo, join the club [22:58] Hi, I would like to install dokuwiki. This is what I did by synaptic. Question: if I upgrade my ubuntu version my docuwiki will be compatible with prevoius? [22:58] I just had to make room for another body in my office closet [22:58] add febreeze to the shopping list [22:58] esing: what did you do, right click menu, then what? [22:59] krei what do you mean how do I reference the hosts === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [22:59] then I clicked remove menu from taskbar [22:59] esing: you didn't listen to what anyone told you [22:59] yarbo, how do you reference the server? I assume you type server.domain1.com and then server.domain2.com - and domain1 works remotely, but not domain2? [23:00] KM0201 right clicking on the submenu didnt help, maybe because I use lubuntu? [23:00] esing, that would have been good to know [23:00] esing: you should have mentioned you're using lubuntu. [23:00] kreignf: Yes exactly, except domain A is set up as test.server1.com and Domain B is just set up as server2.com [23:00] kreignf: second domain doesn't have sub domain set up. [23:00] grml :/ [23:00] can I recover the menu some how? [23:01] I feel dumb right now [23:01] Guys may i get some help here ? [23:01] I installed mplayer and some mplayer skins but the player is not there ? [23:01] what does /tmp stand for? isn't it "temporary"? [23:01] gangdrama, dont ask to ask, just ask [23:02] chovynz: bingo [23:02] kieko, did you install the frontend as well? [23:02] Thank you badger32d [23:02] kieko: check bugs.ubuntu.com, I think I recall a bug about gmplayer not building [23:02] goltoof: so, if its "tmp"why would you store passwords and things there? [23:02] esing: you're probably gonna have to ask in #lubuntu i'm not familiar enough w/ that GUI to tell you what to do. [23:02] or configs for that matter [23:02] bazhang, what is the frontend? [23:02] ok [23:02] bazhang, doessn't installing the skins take care of frontend? [23:02] thx tho [23:02] chovynz: you wouldn't.. passwords aren't stored that, not system user passwords anyway [23:03] crond, any idea why it might require the force=1? [23:03] I wanna disable the pop-notifications that pops up my new messages from chat application [23:03] which chat application gangdrama? [23:03] gangdrama: what client? [23:03] pidgen [23:03] yarbo, and it's set up in DNS? [23:03] I don't want new instant messages to pop up on desktop [23:03] jrib, do I need to reinstall gmplayer?

You can certainly use a *different* frontend like smplayer for example [23:04] google is your friend :) [23:04] my problem do not have solution.............. [23:04] ok [23:04] goltoof: except that instructions for phpmyadmin have said to , or rather the default location for creating a config.init something file in nano puts in it /tmp/JkferOf/something. why would it do that? [23:04] !helpme | Ramir00 [23:04] Ramir00: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[23:04] Ramir00: so why don't you state your problem? [23:04] kieko: it would inform you [23:04] oh thanks so much badger32d [23:04] quintopia: and try running locale-gen [23:04] I really appreciate ! [23:05] gangdrama, np [23:05] Can I install AutoCad 2011 on ubuntu 10.10 ?

If you don't care too much, try smplayer or gnome-mplayer [23:06] gangdrama: does it have a linux version, or do you want to run it w/ wine? [23:06] Nope, it does not have one ! [23:06] jrib, but I don't even see 'gmplayer' in synaptic? [23:06] So I can run it with wine ? [23:07] KM0201, I'm not seeing a linux version, assumed wine [23:07] i go to use traductor google [23:07] gangdrama, check the link I posted, it shows several howto's [23:07] !wine | gangdrama check the application database on winehq.org [23:07] gangdrama check the application database on winehq.org: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [23:07] Yes badger32d [23:07] kieko: actually I found that gmplayer was dropped upstream, and they recommend you use smplayer gnome-mplayer or kmplayer instead so use one of those :) [23:07] quintopia: you have a /etc/locale.gen file? [23:08] sandyd: no, there is a locale.alias. closest thing.

[23:08] kieko: here's the bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/649240 I don't know about skins [23:08] Ramir00: telling us there is no solution isn't helping us or you at all, work on translating your question and ask patiently, not every minute [23:09] goltoof: i'd settle just for him asking a question, we could work on the every minute thing..lol [23:09] quintopia: run "locale -a" and pastebin output [23:09] KM0201: i admit, it is mildly entertaining [23:09] sigh my connection sucks [23:09] lol [23:09] question: i'm running ubuntu 10.10 in a vmware VM. every time a suspend it and resume it, the network connection is lost.. so i went to System > Administration > Additional Drivers, and i deactivated the driver, closed the window, brought it up again, activated the driver again, and the connection is re-established.. i was wondering if there was a way to do this from a terminal, any ideas? [23:09] sandyd: no need. it's just C and POSIX [23:10] Yuyo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:10] i had tried sudo ifconfig eth0 up, but that gave me an "Unable to allocate memory" error [23:10] KM0201: ps, regarding the whole rm -r thing, it is logical to recommend that, given the right parameters, i just fail to recall them.. and i'm too frightened to try it on my own system :S [23:11] quintopia: #2 here -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale should set you straight [23:11] lol @ goltoof, then don't reccomend it to anyone else! ;) [23:11] KM0201: assuming he was trying to delete all his files/dirs in a given directory.. [23:11] goltoof: exactly... there are few circumstances to recommend that command. [23:11] badger32d: yes yes, i'm working on that [23:11] goltoof: and even then, if you're going to recommend it, you need to quadruple check that they are in the right directory.

[23:13] thanks again kreignf your insight helped me fix the problem. [23:13] civixier: ln -s for soft link [23:14] sandyd: i think "locale-gen en_US.UTF-8" did it... [23:14] sandyd > /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 [23:14] quintopia: awesome. nice that your localew working again :) [23:15] civixier: ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 [23:15] KM0201: I still can't find it, any suggestions? I've tried a web search, searching synaptic, etc. and I still can't find linux-backports-modules-compat-wireless-2.6.34-2.6.32-28-generic [23:15] sandyd ah, thanks <3 [23:15] NixGeek: not really sure to be honest, i figured that was the package you needed. [23:15] Can I install backtrack4 on ubuntu 10.10 ? [23:16] gangdrama: through virtual machine [23:16] KM0201: nope, i need the one for the newer kernel. this is really wierd, mabey ndiswrapper will work.. [23:16] gangdrama: no. Backtrack4 is its own distro - but you could virtualbox it, like sandyd said [23:16] gangdrama: on* [23:16] I don't understand how to do that [23:16] gangdrama: install virtualbox [23:17] then ? [23:17] gangdrama: #backtrack4 could help you more there [23:17] gangdrama: run it. [23:17] gangdrama: click "new" [23:17] yes [23:17] sandyd > still get the same error =/ hamachi-init: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [23:17] Hello? [23:17] Is anyone there? [23:18] any cad jockeys around? i just need a dwg viewer... lx-viewer has never worked for me, not to mention it's 6 years old [23:18] sandyd, I download backtrack4 from its website then I can it with virtualbox or how ? [23:18] bigballz: no [23:18] gangdrama: click the "new" button after opening virtualbox [23:19] yes [23:19] and then what I do ? [23:19] yarbo, I'm good like that. ;) you are welcome. [23:19] gangdrama: set it as linux, ubuntu [23:19] Hey, I cannot run ubuntu on my computer. It's being stupid. [23:19] yes [23:19] bigballz: what's the issue? [23:19] ok [23:19] I have tried downloading it multiple times and it says "init not found" [23:19] gangdrama: set the RAM, and create the HD image [23:20] It won't load from a disc and it won't load from the PC. [23:20] It will not reboot in ubuntu. [23:20] I'm using Microsoft 2003 and I'm trying to use it as the desktop version to coinside with Microsoft. [23:20] bigballz: no option in bootloader? [23:21] bigballz: bad idea [23:21] bad idea? [23:21] What's a bad idea? [23:21] bigballz: consider linux and microsoft write to disc differently [23:21] crond, the damn modules still aren't loading [23:21] How so? [23:21] sandyd, so via this as well I can install windows 7 and run it smoothly just switch between windows? [23:21] via ubuntu [23:21] righ t ? [23:21] gangdrama: in seamless mode [23:22] bigballz: i only speak from personal experience, but when navigating to a windows partition from ubuntu it will corrupt the windows partition [23:22] gangdrama: after you install the guest additions [23:22] Oh. [23:22] yes ? [23:22] crond, can't figure this out; it's working fine on an identical host. :| [23:22] bigballz: linux and microsoft write to disc differently. look up "why linux doesn't need defragmenting" you'll see why [23:22] hello i have a server that distributes internet to 400 clietns, i need a soft to put in some restrictions based on mac for some clients ... any ideas ? thank you [23:22] goltoof: So you're saying the ubuntu will corrupt windows? [23:22] goltoof, that's a misnomer [23:23] bigballz: better to use one or the other as a vm [23:23] g3org3s, pfsense + misc. plugins [23:23] goltoof: Then why does ubuntu even offer a desktop option? [23:24] hey folks [23:24] bigballz: it happened to me, and that's my only explanation for it :s [23:24] wzzup [23:24] Alright. [23:24] Thanks, bro [23:24] gr8 [23:24] bigballz: desktop v. server edition is just the features they include [23:25] what are u talking about? [23:25] I have 1 pc (pc1) with w7 and a notebook with w7 (pc2). [23:25] pc1 is in the network with the PC2, but PC2 can not enter in the pc1. [23:25] the pc1 if it enters the pc1. [23:25] the third PC (PC3) has ubuntu. [23:25] kreignf, do u think it would handle 400 clients without crashing ? [23:25] Ramir00: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:25] l [23:25] kreignf: sorry? [23:25] ahh, server issues.. [23:25] Ihave a usb device that gives a 'giving up waiting for root device' error on a cold boot works fine on a soft boot any ideas? [23:26] between pc1 and pc3 no communication problems. [23:26] whats a good dvd burner and player [23:26] g3org3s, I don't see why not. Just, presumably, give it enough hardware. Web filtering is expensive. [23:26] between pc2 and pc3 if there are problems of communication. [23:26] markoso: k3b [23:27] g3org3s, it's more 'appliance' like than homerolling web filter shit. [23:27] ty goltoof [23:27] hi [23:27] I think the problem is in the pc2 has w7. [23:28] hmm, how many are there in this channel? [23:28] sandyd, when I go to new it asks me to allocate the memory for windows 7 , saying 512 recommended, I have already windows 7 installed in the same pc so I can run it here from this virtual box? and will it be slow or experience any problem ? [23:28] epzil0n....is not connect [23:29] kreignf, i have a server running a i7 processor ... i want a policy taht blocks the user for 2 when he reaches 50 mb, based on mac , and is there a way in it to put some page where the client can know how much he used already ? [23:29] gangdrama, you can === nanomachine is now known as RobotCow [23:29] Hello guys. I've got problems with my microSd card. Ubuntu recognize it normaly but drive doesn't have write support. How can I format it to fat and add write support? Please help! [23:29] there are 100 o menos [23:29] gangdrama, however you will need to establish a vbox hardware profile in windows 7 first [23:29] ok but how much memory should I allocate ? [23:29] * epzil0n is thinking about that that win is always trying to take control and make it self almighty glory! :D [23:29] oh I'm so blur of that [23:29] gangdrama, if you do not, w7 may not be bootable after installing the vbox tools, iirc [23:29] how can I do that [23:29] gangdrama, 2Gb should do? [23:29] hmmmm [23:30] ^^ [23:30] g3org3s - if you don't want to reinstall with pfsense, and want granular control like that, I would check out squid. I use it for similar tasks that you are looking for [23:30] ok let me explain more simple [23:30] gangdrama, join #windows maybe [23:30] ok..my problem do not have solution [23:30] gangdrama, no you were simple enough. [23:30] my HDD is 640 GB's [23:30] badger32d, isint squid an http proxy ? can it handle 400 clients ? [23:30] I have allocated 440 for windows [23:30] 100 for linux [23:30] so what should I do here ? [23:31] hey Ramir.. are u dualbooting [23:31] I mean you saying 2gb should be enough what does it mean ? [23:31] lol [23:31] g3org3s, I have used squid with almost 900 users, filtering via mac and with a web page where they can monitor usage. its doable, but I would check out squids page for the info [23:31] gangdrama, "it will be sufficient and not degrade performance"? [23:31] * epzil0n wonder about what [23:31] gangdrama: 2GB ram should be enough for windows [23:31] ok [23:32] 2GB is almost not sufficient for nothing this days [23:32] so now what should I do? i install the virtual box in windows 7 also ? [23:32] Hello guys. I've got problems with my microSd card. Ubuntu recognize it normaly but drive doesn't have write support. How can I format it to fat and add write support? Please help! [23:32] or sorry to allocate space or what ? [23:32] windows 7 channel?? there are???? [23:32] Jorky, does the microSD adaptor have the write tab to the lock position? Also, check out the disk utility for formatting [23:33] gparted would probably fix it Jorky [23:33] badger32d, one more question please :) ... can i limit this counter to internet usage only ? for exp if one of my clients is sending a file to an another clients, i want it to be free ... i mean not counted in the internet meter ... is it possible ? [23:33] ok..my problem do not have solution [23:33] Ramir00: #windows covers all windows related [23:33] badger32d: No. Write tab isn't on lock position. How can I do it vith gparted? [23:33] how do I establish a Virtualbox hardware profile in my windows 7 ? [23:34] g3org3s, yes - you can have rules governing intra and inter net usage. I would shoot you my config file, but I've moved on from that job, sorry. [23:34] Jorky, what version of ubuntu are you running? [23:34] ofc aeon-ltd.. what else would you espect?! [23:34] badger32d: 10.10 [23:34] Ramir00: your problem has a solution, you just haven't found it. sounds like you're trying to setup network sharing between your 7 pc and ubuntu? [23:34] Ramir00: does that about sum it up [23:34] ? [23:34] gah... stupid internet. [23:34] Jorky, goto system, adminstration, disk utility - that will be how you format [23:35] badger32d, thanks alot :) hope to catch u around the day i'll be putting this in place :) [23:35] gangdrama: you install windows 7 inside virtualbox. [23:35] @sandyd agree.. [23:35] g3org3s, I'm on occasionally, but here in Iraq the interwebz really suck. crappy sat link. :( [23:35] gangdrama: you cant run windows 7 in virtualbox on a seperate partition. [23:35] Would anyone care to help me with my problem? [23:35] ok [23:35] badger32d, u from there ? or serving ? [23:36] It's about booting ubuntu desktop. [23:36] Spitfire77 what? [23:36] g3org3s, serving. [23:36] so now I have to install it in tihs ubuntu 10.10 virtualbox ? [23:36] hello, does someone know if it is possible to have my server run an arbitrary command on the server when a user clicks "submit" on the web page. I'm using python for cgi. [23:36] gangdrama: yes. [23:36] because I have it already installed in my machine ! [23:36] I have downloaded it multiple times and it is not working. [23:36] so it will be run from here easily? [23:36] badger32d, well then , hope u get home safe :) be careful out there ! [23:36] where is the package spidermonkey on ubuntu 10.10? [23:36] badger32d: I see now that drive is alredy in fat 16, so how can I add write support now? [23:36] thanks man, I appreciate it [23:37] gangdrama: yes. I would show you a demo of the seamless mode, but the virtualbox modules vanished from my computer yesterday, and im still searching for them. [23:37] Jorky, what size is the card? [23:37] badger32d: 2GB [23:37] Oh is it ok thank you very much you think now should I give it a try [23:37] ? [23:37] Also, Jorky - what are you using it for, only ubuntu, or mixed ubuntu and windows? [23:37] I rely on you if I lose my windows 7 [23:37] ahahaha [23:37] Hello? [23:37] badger32d: Ubuntu only [23:37] Spitfire77.. msg [23:38] msg? [23:38] How do I message? [23:38] Then I would reformat it as ext3 or 4 [23:38] rightclick my nick.. [23:40] sandyd [23:40] now it is asking the virtual disk and location size [23:41] how many gbs should I put? === Sosby is now known as eXXe [23:41] in my HDD i've allocated 440GB for windows 7 [23:41] badger32d: Are you still here? [23:41] Jorky, still here [23:42] badger32d: So what should I do? [23:42] Jorky: I would reformat as Ext 3 or 4, since you are only using it in ubuntu [23:43] o_o [23:43] gangdrama: however many you think you need [23:43] badger32d: yes but than I don't know if my phone will recognize it [23:43] gangdrama: I used 40 GB dynamic, but thats just because the disk image will expand as necessary if you use dynamic [23:44] Jorky: Ah, what phone do you have? thought you were only using in ubuntu [23:44] I want a lot [23:44] so how many should I put ? [23:44] gangdrama: so if you use dynamic, it doesnt allocate all the 40 GB immediately [23:44] gangdrama: use 100GB dynamic [23:44] like I said in my windows the space is roughly 400 gb [23:44] ok [23:44] and ram is 2gb ? [23:44] my ram is 4gb [23:44] I mean machine rams [23:44] gangdrama: maximum is 2GB if you have 4 GB [23:45] yeah yeah right [23:45] badger32d: LG t329 [23:45] Jorky, the best way to do that, if you need it to work in your phone, is to format it *from* your phone - then try it in ubuntu. [23:45] badger32d: LG T310 [23:46] badger32d: I was doing even that but still won't works [23:47] Jorky, well try to just format it as FAT then in ubuntu, and see if it works in both [23:48] Jorky: use FAT32. my LG phone uses the same, [23:49] is there any way to install mint interface to ubuntu? [23:49] <_Tristan> Hey, so my laptop decided to be super helpful and hardware suspend during a kernel upgrade, then force fsck (??). Anyways, now my data is scattered over my harddrive in a remarkable organized structure. /lost+found/#35520513/ is my /home folder, for example. Is there a way to fix this, or should I backup and reinstall? [23:49] After recent security patches, ecryptfs homedir no longer gets mounted when ssh:ing in. Manual ecryptfs-mount-private also says "open: Permission denied". How to debug further? [23:49] sandyd [23:49] it shows [23:50] FATAL: no bootable meduim found! system HALTED [23:50] what does this mean ? [23:50] gangdrama: did you add the windows 7 dvd? [23:50] nonix4: you're using ssh password? [23:50] no hahaha sorry [23:50] nonix4: i.e. not keys [23:50] can you teach me about this ? [23:51] sorry if I'm prolonging [23:51] gangdrama: click "settings", "storage" [23:51] What would you all suggest to use for encoding video to stream across a 100Mbit LAN? [23:51] gangdrama: then the cd icon [23:51] hi [23:51] jrib: yes, although it has a key that I could try too... but is that accessible before using password? [23:51] gangdrama: click on the mini cd icon on the right pane and set to your cd drive [23:51] Anyone, I refused the Microsoft EULA that appeared when I executed `sudo apt-get instal msttcorefonts`. WHen I try agin I get message "Note, select 'ttf-mscorefonts-installer' instead of 'msttcorefonts' - tt-mscoreconts-installer is alread the newest version. What can I do to install the TrueType fonts? [23:51] gangdrama: *host drive [23:52] nonix4: no, I just wanted to rule something else out (if you use keys the authorized_keys file needs to be kept unencrypted). What got updated? [23:52] <_Tristan> again, help with crazy lost and found hard drive messup after fsck? [23:53] brb in two sec [23:53] htc evo, pdanet, bluetooth dun, ubuntu 10.10 [23:53] suggestions? [23:53] sandyd, it says me I have assigned more than 50% of my computer's memory to the virstual machine. there might not be enough memory left to my host operating system because my linux installed on almost a 100GB [23:54] and I have allocated just now 100gb for windows 7 so ? [23:54] it says if I press OK i continue on my own risk ! [23:54] gangdrama: are you talking about HD space or RAM [23:54] i need help to record my desktop using jack audio, it closes saying error 256 parsing arguments [23:55] hi [23:55] gangdrama: cause RAM can only be set at 2GB [23:55] Oh, yeah MEMORY means ram right ? [23:55] jrib: kernel, mount, util-linux, bsdutils, libuuid, libblkid, plymouth2, -->apparmor, openssh-server, openssh-client<--, dbus, fuse*, sudo... and some others that I'd guess are not related. [23:55] gangdrama: yes, in this sense [23:55] gangdrama: its a common mistake ;) just set the RAM to 2GB, and virtualbox will stop complaining [23:55] sandyd, gangdrama would you mind moving you issue to PM or #vbox? Doesn't seem to be an Ubuntu issue anymore, more VBox support. [23:55] anybody know how to make a simple Linux command-line OS? I wanna see if i can run a server on an old pc [23:56] ok Sandyd, really appreciate your help [23:56] thanks a lot [23:56] ...and using custom OS software for the heck of it [23:56] I think i'm helped enough [23:56] WinCamXP: gentoo [23:56] nonix4: if you can't even mount it with ecryptfs-mount-private, I suppose we can rule out ssh. Is "open: Permission denied" the full output? [23:56] gentoo is command-line??? [23:56] htc evo, pdanet, bluetooth dun, ubuntu 10.10; how do i get this to work? [23:56] WinCamXP, ubuntu-server is command line [23:56] WinCamXP: you build it youself. [23:56] WinCamXP: you're in #ubuntu, that's not really an ubuntu question [23:56] oh...sorry [23:57] WinCamXP: use ubuntu server if you want a relatively slim system for a server [23:57] WinCamXP: now move over to #gentoo if your intersted, ill be here in a sec [23:57] jrib: "Error locking counter" on second line, which doesn't have \n at end. Bug #573518 looks similar. [23:57] is ubuntu server a low-requirement OS??? [23:57] nonix4: was about to point you there :) [23:57] WinCamXP: yes. [23:57] cuz my assumed system is an old Dell Latitude CP, it has 128megs of RAM [23:58] WinCamXP: should be fine [23:58] jrib: oh possibly related, the underlying partition was changed from sda1 to sdd1 [23:58] I just need a darn modem for it...xD [23:58] WinCamXP: I have one of those too :D. [23:58] no help? [23:58] Would that comp be capable of running a Minecraft server with 2+ people??? [23:59] It's a very processor-heavy game [23:59] I think it has a Pentium 1 thpo...xD [23:59] dangit, I think i found a bug with the Ubuntu Windows (WUBI?) installer. last night when i installed i first selected my K: Drive, but then changed my mind and selected H: on where to install (ie i changed dropdown twice). it installed fine, the files were on H: as expected, and when i rebooted into ubuntu it finished the installation. then it rebooted again but i was then given an error that it couldnt mount the disk. I checked the /host/ drive it tried to load [23:59] WinCamXP: a pentium 2 I actually think [23:59] hold on a sec [23:59] WinCamXP, I think recent Ubuntu versions need a i686 architecture processor. [23:59] said dangit cause i hoped i could uninstall and reinstall with same torrent download quickly but it deleted it and now gotta redl :( [23:59] i tried to install a pluggin for gimp, but it doesnt work.. command line shows a few errors....? any help?? ( no one in #gimp)
