[00:00] who could help me with Evolution mail? [00:00] I will say this though: I intentionally neglected activating the proprietary ATI driver, coldfront [00:00] Should I activate it? [00:00] i would give it a try snakkah see if it fixes the problem === dzup2 is now known as t-1000 [00:01] i can't find anything on how to fix it yet [00:01] ls [00:01] Dakrav: you have to setup gmail first within google [00:01] But actually I want to unistall EVERYTHING to do with nvidia x-org drivers off the system. I do not intend to use one again as its the second card to go in a year. How to? [00:02] almoxarife: i already have a gmail account, but i want to use evolution mail to read it [00:02] this is for archlinux snakkah but might help you https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61433 [00:02] Dakrav: and you want to use what method, pop or imap? [00:03] almoxarife: what's the difference? [00:03] is there a way I can restart cups? [00:03] but he is using a intel card [00:03] schwinn434: service cups restart [00:04] pleeese, how can I login as root... [00:04] Dakrav: I can't tell all the diff, I will say that imap keeps me from having to use up storage at my pc, it's a choice I guess, and you need to decide which method [00:04] Ubuntu Server 10.04 x64 here, I have 6 drives in an LVM VG and for some reason one of the drives (I'm not sure if it is the same one each boot) loses the primary GTP table after a reboot. Any ideas? [00:04] schwinn434: sudo /etc/init.d/cups start [00:04] FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive [00:04] Press any key to exit cfdisk [00:04] nunya: Never run any user apps as root: sudo -i [00:04] which disk partitioning tool to use? [00:05] ciao [00:05] I tried fdisk and cfdisk, none of them wants to read the disk [00:05] almoxarife: so either will work, but IMAP doesn't use up storage on the pc? [00:05] barf: gparted [00:05] list [00:05] Dakrav: yes, if you don't allow it to mirror [00:05] nunya boot into recovery mode and do nano /etc/sudoers [00:05] almoxarife: okay, thanks! [00:06] soreau: but then I’d have to install GUI? [00:06] barf: ubuntu has a gui by default [00:06] I just did base install [00:06] could someone tell me how to change the color of text boxes on websitse? the new theme I got changes the color of them and I kinda wanna keep them the default color [00:06] * Ener Eat a cake [00:06] only package installed is openssh server [00:06] barf: Why? [00:07] soreau: I never really used the GUI, and it’s a 1U server [00:07] coldfront: use visudo and only that to edit sudoers [00:07] meant to run vbox headless [00:07] coldfront, thanks for the link but I don't think xorg.conf even exists in Ubuntu 10.10 [00:07] coldfront, nunya: you should always use « visudo », not « nano /etc/sudoers » [00:07] hi, I'm having trouble setting the virtual resolution high enough to accommodate both of my screens. gnome-display-properties suggests it can resize it for me, but fails. Is there any other way I can do this? [00:07] why doesn't Ubuntu keep repositories up todate for versions that are still current? [00:07] There's no file for it. [00:07] !sru | billy [00:07] billy: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [00:07] billy: landscape? [00:08] Snakkah yeah it doesn't:P forgot about that you need to make one [00:08] What version will be the next LTS? [00:08] !latest [00:08] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [00:08] solexious: 12.04 [00:08] coldfront: it actually worked :) I saw that page before but was too afraid to try it :P [00:08] ! lts | solexious [00:08] solexious: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [00:08] coldfront, okay. Where should I put it then? [00:08] solexious: lts is released every couple years or so [00:08] rww: thanks [00:09] every 2 years, to be exact [00:09] almoxarife: should i use SMTP or Sendmail server type for the gmail account? [00:09] 6.06 (delayed from 6.04), 8.04, 10.04, 12.04. [00:09] I don't suppose anyone knows anything about TinyOS here? [00:09] rww: I don't think that was the case in some past instances [00:09] oh yea.. 6.06 is what I'm thinking of [00:09] almoxarife: and does it require authentication? [00:09] soreau: only because dapper got delayed by two months ;) [00:09] rww: Right, now I remember [00:09] umm one min Snakkah [00:10] Alright [00:10] I have a fairly stupid question, I've just installed Ubuntu on my new machine, and after install drivers (or possibly performing a system update, I didn't restart in between) the style of the top panel, bottom panel, and windows (and plenty of icons) has changed into an ugly boxy white style (I have 10.10). How do I revert to the original style I had when I first installed? [00:10] aea: sys>prefs>appearance [00:11] I'm in that, and "Ambiance" is selected, the windows retain the same look, the panels don't. [00:11] The look of all the icons on them has changed as well, would a screenshot help? [00:11] aea: "and after install drivers (or possibly performing a system update, I didn't restart in between)" <-- how exactly did you do accomplish this? [00:11] !panels | aea [00:11] aea: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » === mario12_ is now known as mario12 [00:12] aea, logout and login again. It should revert to normal. [00:12] I had that happen to me awhile back. [00:12] better keep that a secret - imagine if Windows XP could only use packages released prior to 2001! [00:12] aea: Yea did you even try restarting (X)? [00:13] Sorry, this happened after a restart and me doing those two things. [00:13] Logout / login didn't work, let me try the command, [00:13] Dakrav: either will require authentication [00:13] aea: How exactly did you accomplish 'those two things'? [00:13] hello? i have a question with installation for Ubuntu Netbook Ed. [00:13] almoxarife: but both will work? [00:14] no wonder I'm stuck with stuff 10 versions out of date!!! [00:14] I'm not quite certain what you're asking, I used the restricted drivers setting + ubuntu software update (I don't think I did anything special) [00:14] ! ask | sayuseph [00:14] sayuseph: 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. :-) [00:14] sayuseph: whats up [00:14] LifeEscalade, what happens if you nmap your ip address, does it show port 5900 open ? [00:14] aea: If you run 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' in your terminal, does it complete without errors? [00:14] Dakrav: yes, unless you mean at the same time, I don't think both pop and imap can be run at the same time, according to the google setup [00:14] ooh ok. Then I'll start. Ubuntu is not letting me click "Forward" at the Who Are You? portion, even though everything is filled out. [00:15] almoxarife: but will SMTP work for sending mail? [00:15] Dakrav: of course [00:15] almoxarife: or should i use sendmail? [00:15] Yes both commands work. [00:15] thanks erUSUL but I get bad magic block with those [00:15] sayuseph, make sure you use lowercase letters for your username [00:15] aea: Do you have any third party repos installed? Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file to ubuntu.pastebin.com ? [00:15] almoxarife: thanks! [00:15] Dakrav: I use either or, both work [00:15] sayuseph, if your username starts with a capitilized letter then you cannot continue [00:15] thanks! [00:16] Lowercase only? Hmm lemme try that [00:16] fluvvell: I was having hardware issues with my computer locking up, so I took it offline, but ill try it on my laptop real fast [00:16] Didn't know, one sec! [00:16] sayuseph, yes, should work fine [00:16] almoxarife: will STMP require authentication? [00:16] Fudge: dunno; read the rest of the -b section in « man e2fsck » there a few more things you may try to find a valid superblock [00:16] Dakrav: yeap [00:16] pppfftt yes it worked. Hahaha I'm such a noob at this. Sorry, and thanks again for the help xD <3 [00:16] fluvvell: once i run nmap it shows that 5900/tcp filtered vnc [00:16] sayuseph, no problem, its a common mistake :) [00:17] :3 [00:17] almoxarife, will the authentication type be PLAIN? and for the Username, should i put my email? [00:17] thanx [00:17] soreau: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/JrGJZgEG [00:17] ehlo [00:18] Dakrav: plain and with the complete username@gmail.com [00:18] The terminal command did restart the panels, but the style is still not what I had when I started with when I installed. [00:18] almoxarife: thanks! [00:18] nunya: would http://www.debuntu.org/recover-root-password-single-user-mode-and-grub work for you? [00:18] what is the command to open the gui window file viewer from terminal? [00:19] Sandman: nautilus [00:19] Dakrav: google has a help page for setting up email clients, look at it [00:19] thanks erUSUL [00:19] LifeEscalade, thats on the local ip, eg something like 192.168.1.4 ? === Anarcheist is now known as The [00:19] almoxarife: oh, thanks [00:19] hmm, ok, I'm told ubuntu doesn't use an xorg.conf file; how would I go about changing things that would usually be in that file? === The is now known as Guest40867 [00:20] fluvvell: if i scan from my local ip it shows that all ports are closed [00:20] tommylommykins: if you really need you can create one and it will be followed [00:20] Dakrav: and if I had to do over I think I would have stuck with thunderbird, but I can't say that is better or worse [00:20] LifeEscalade, what does dpkg -l |grep ufw give you ? [00:20] aea: Did you check sys>prefs>appearance? [00:20] soreau: Yes I did, theme is set to Ambiance [00:21] soreau: sudo fdisk /dev/sda made me able to partition the drive [00:21] erUSUL: if I autogenerate one with Xorg -configure, x will not start correctly [00:21] well [00:21] tommylommykins: Newer versions of X are smart enough to guess what's best without a conf file, though it still respects settings in the file if it exists [00:21] barack_osama: great [00:21] my problem is that I cannot set the virtual resolution [00:21] barf: great [00:21] On ubuntu 10.10 is there default software that trys to resolve dns and forward requests before it would hit a webserver listening on port 80 by chance? [00:21] fluvvell: it shows "ii ufw 0.30-lubuntu2 === noctu is now known as deltamak [00:21] THe only way to do that is thourhg an xorg.conf? [00:22] *through [00:22] tommylommykins: Which driver are you using and what are you trying to do exactly? [00:22] whenever i try any (it seems) dual head mode with my tp t41 (ati rv250) + external display on vga, i get massive screen corruption, external works alone, laptop lvds works alone, they both work mirrored [00:22] hello everyone [00:22] LifeEscalade, Im hoping that sudo iptables -L will list 3 empty chains? [00:22] soreau: AMD/ATI proprietary drivers; I want to set the virtual resolution high enough that I can fit both my monitors on the desktop without any overlap [00:23] soreau: Thanks for the help, this looks like a non-standard issue, I'll make a forum post. [00:23] tommylommykins: just need a virtual line in xorg.conf then I assume [00:23] tommylommykins: btw, with fglrx you already have /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:24] tommylommykins: X will not load any proprietary drivers without being explicitly told [00:24] is there anyone in hee using a portable netbook [00:24] aea: take some screenshots too [00:24] im looking into buying one; i would like some suggestions [00:24] fluvvell: http://pastebin.com/njxVbbFq is what it shows after that command [00:24] Ummm problem with Ubuntu Clipboard. Copy and paste terxt / files to directory etc., and in Open Office Draw, go to copy paste an image, and the text of the previous commands stays stuck in the clipboard and pastes instead of image. How to fix "sticking" clipboard? [00:24] right [00:25] almoxarife: yeah, i used that before, i'm trying out Evolution now [00:25] I have an etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:25] 'Virtual 3072 1152' (that's big enough to fit everything in) [00:25] xrandr states that screen 0's maximum size is 1440x1440 [00:25] :/ [00:25] soreau: I have used Ubuntu since version 5, I still have not gotten used to sudo [00:25] So something's a bit wrong? [00:25] Dakrav: tell me how to integrate the address book from google into evolution, there is suppose to be a way [00:26] lewix: My suggestion for a netbook would be one with a high screen resolution :) [00:26] LifeEscalade, ok go ahead and post the output of ifconfig and nmap localhost [00:26] LifeEscalade , better use sudo [00:26] tommylommykins, aha why bother even wasting your time typing dude [00:26] almoxarife: i will when i find it! [00:27] so my guess is nobody in here use a netbook [00:27] sad [00:27] lewix dell mini 10 works well [00:27] Old Laptop - runs like dog = TOO underspecced [00:28] Ummm problem with Ubuntu Clipboard.

[00:36] hello all [00:36] is soreau online? [00:37] anyways question: how can i use the git command in ubuntu 9.10? [00:37] ! git [00:37] Git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds.

[00:38] fluvvell, LifeEscalade you shouldn't run nmap against 127.0.0.1 as some programs might only bind to outside interfaces. a much better alternative is 'sudo ss -lp' [00:39] does 'git' not work on ubuntu 9.10? [00:40] <---- Tryna get some help with the 'git' command in terminal pls. thanx [00:40] x20twelve: git is written in perl [00:40] What cmd would i use with zip to zip a folder into a pre existing zip file?

[00:46] can i idle a external usb drive after I suspend the computer? The drive won't stop spinning [00:46] i actually had to edit and change compiz-bcop to compiz-fusion-bcop because i got a message saying that it was replaaced with the latter [00:46] Dakrav: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Evolution <-- look here, both contacts and calendar [00:48] lol [00:48] a3ther_: im trying to use the machine im on right now to access the desktop I have at my house. When im connected to the network I have set up at my house, rd works just fine. once I leave the network, nothing happens and the prompts I get are equivalent to "serverim.tryingto.connectto has closed the connection" or "could not connect to server.imtrying.toaccess" [00:48] a3ther_, thanks ss has heaps more info. LifeEscalade, want to try that ? (sudo ss -lp) [00:49] ok so my server got two built in NIC card eth0 and eth1. eth0 is disconnected and i have eth1 config on dhcp. when i /etc/init.d/networking restart it is still looking for eth0? why is that [00:49] LifeEscalade, oh you're at work now?

[00:49] correct fluvvell [00:50] It cost less [00:50] d3cent, u might need to boot into recovery mode and low graphics mode and install graphic drivers then reboot [00:50] maciej_, 'hdparm' will spin down the disks with either a -y or -Y check what they do with 'hdparm --help', you probably want to do 'sudo hdparm -y /dev/YOURDISK' [00:50] LifeEscalade, and your desktops ip address? [00:50] external or internal? [00:51] LifeEscalade, pm ? [00:51] sure :D [00:51] ! [00:51] any ideas?

[00:52] d3cent, reinstall grub from live cd? [00:52] hello all, I need assistance tuning my radio using ivtv. I keep getting device busy error [00:52] LifeEscalade, check that the ports are forwarded correctly on your router. run tcpdump on the server to check that it is recieving packets from the outside on the specific port. if it is then it might be a firewall restriction of the network you are connecting from... check that you can connect to someone else who has the required service set up. === faucet is now known as faucet-afk [00:53] that's the problem, when running live cd can't run command update-grub....

[00:58] x20twelve : no but this is irc be patient [00:58] what is your question [00:58] i am patient. even when ppl come in the room way after me and ask a question and get help pronto [00:58] question was regarding git [00:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/560074/ [00:58] I have used the ivtv via command line before with success but now it seems not to work [00:59] d3cent: if you google reinstall grub from live cd there will be quite a few tutorials , pretty common, you'll want to mount the drive you have ubuntu installed and install grub onto the drive [00:59] hello [01:00] i am looking for help with some missing files / an input/output error i receive.

[01:30] or should i just pm it to yu [01:30] I believe the problem is in the naming ~music~ translates to /home/tiffanooomusic/home/tiffanooo in a unix/linux environment [01:30] okay [01:30] jrib, because I had a sleep 30 in there, and I'm not sure it had any effect. [01:30] how do I playback my ivtv stream [01:30] Anybody know how to grep a file for a newline? `grep '\n' file` finds "n"s as does \\n and \\\n [01:30] scorp007: why are you even bothering with rc.local? [01:31] are you able to do cd "/media/Roe/~music~" ? [01:31] jrib, I seem to be having a problem where a service loads before a driver, causing the service to malfunction. [01:31] emphasis on "seem". [01:31] x20twelve: go ahead [01:31] and then pwd? [01:31] pwd [01:31] can somebody please help me out with oidentd as it is driving me mad? [01:31] scorp007: can you describe in more detail where rc.local is coming into play in your troubleshooting process? [01:31] ls -lAhR "/media/Roe/~music~" [01:32] jrib, because after the system fully boots, and I execute sudo service restart, it fixes the problem. [01:32] i just renamed the folder to 'music' with no punctuation [01:32] so I tried adding that (omitting the sudo) to rc.local to try to fix it automatically [01:32] scorp007: heh, what service? [01:32] tiffanooo, barf i think it is an ntfs volume [01:32] jrib, mythtv-backend (using mythbuntu) [01:32] sudo du -sh /meda/Roe/* [01:33] scorp007: does it still use a sysv style init script or upstart? [01:33] sudo du -sh /media/Roe/* [01:33] jrib, I don't know *nix well enough to tell you -- how can I find out? [01:34] Oli``: well you can grep for the end of a line ($), but why? [01:34] http://paste.ubuntu.com/560087/ [01:34] jrib: I'm trying to match a multi-line string [01:34] scorp007: examine /etc/init/mythtvblahblah and /etc/init.d/mythtvblahblah [01:35] tiffanooo: does that drive work on a different computer?

[01:36] but does not show in the filesystem? [01:36] What is this? Black magic? [01:36] hy [01:36] just yesterday i could see all the files in the filesystem. could rename things and add things.

It wont' run the .bin file [01:36] that's all i'm trying to do right now is move more mp3s into this folder. but i don't want to do that if something fishy. [01:36] You should copy all files on the volume ASAP [01:36] scorp007: upstart is event driven (go ahead and read /etc/init/mythtv-backend) so you can tell it what events need to be emitted before it tries to start. Of course, this should just work though. Before we spend some time investigating, have you searched bugs.ubuntu.com for relevant bugs? [01:36] anyone here? [01:37] If you have another drive [01:37] !java | roooob [01:37] roooob: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.

Do you have a problem? [01:37] done365, mythbuntu? [01:38] @bazhang no desktop ubuntu. [01:38] my chat was stuck [01:38] or something [01:38] Oh,... [01:38] jrib, side-question: is it possible to install a "proper" version of vim via apt-get since the one with mythbuntu doesn't have mouse support? [01:38] done365, you can use mythbuntu [01:38] <---Slacker---did yu check that out? [01:38] i was nor able to see what you wrote [01:38] :) [01:38] now i ok [01:38] *not [01:39] That is good. Do you have a problem or are you looking around? [01:39] scorp007: yeah, install vim or vim-gnome or vim-gtk (apt-cache search -n vim and choose what you want) [01:39] well [01:39] yes [01:39] i installed [01:39] Tell us' [01:39] Gigabyte, a single line please [01:39] on vmware [01:39] Oli``: actually, I'm not sure you can use grep for that :o [01:39] @bazhang I'll install it [01:40] jrib: just found pcregrep that has a nice multiline option [01:40] done365, you have an hauppage card? [01:40] Well what is the problem Gigabyte? [01:40] I would like to know too [01:40] !find mythbuntu-desktop [01:40] Found: mythbuntu-desktop [01:40] Jrib, it asks me for my password...and it wont let me enter it [01:40] Oli``: yeah, was about to suggest you use a language like python or perl where you can specify multiline [01:40] i have installed ubuntu on vmware and i installed lamp to try yoomla ... when i need to install some module i give me error ...wait sec [01:41] *joomla [01:41] done365, you can get there by installing mythbuntu-desktop [01:41] x20twelve that tutorial is over 2 years old try the stuff i sent you [01:41] jrib, ahh, nice. I thought the vim package was already installed. Guess not. [01:41] roooob: you won't see anything being written (for security purposes); just type your password and press enter though [01:41] @bazhang I do and at one time could access the stream using vlc but now nothing seems to catch the stream [01:41] ok [01:41] scorp007: yeah, ubuntu comes with vim-tiny unfortunately [01:41] Is this VMware in Windows I assume? [01:41] done365, I see. [01:41] jrib, did you mean /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf? [01:41] scorp007: yes [01:41] heh [01:41] i already did. plugins got installed. i didnt see it in ccsm, so im gonna restart and check back with yu..... [01:41] done365, if you had it working perhaps better to fix the issue with vlc [01:42] yes this is on vmware on full sreen [01:42] you have to explain the situation Gigabyte [01:42] Warning! Failed to move file. [01:42] Gigabyte :Full screen would not change anything. I do not really understand. Where are you trying to install this plugin? [01:42] jrib, well it says : http://codepad.org/rQpppmky [01:43] scorp007: check your logs for the same errors: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/609402 [01:43] Gigabyte that doesnt tell me a thing :) [01:43] @bazhang I agree but I believe that it was a couple of version ago that I last used it. So I have no idea where to start. ivtv says that the stream is established at video24, but tuning vlc to that I get nothing, which is better than the static I got before [01:43] i am trying to install some module on localhost [01:44] have you followed the installation instructions for Joomla? [01:44] there is a joomla and when i pick module from desktop and press upload and install it gives me Warning! Failed to move file. [01:44] What application are you using to install this Module [01:44] yes i followes instruction i got it on win 7 [01:44] Gigabyte have you installed joomla? [01:44] yes [01:45] ok so it works [01:45] done365, okay, so its been a while. did you want to check for bugs with vlc, or try the mythbuntu approach [01:45] yes it works fine [01:45] you need to ask in #joomla [01:45] :) [01:45] jrib, well, for info, the errors in my mythbackend.log looks like http://codepad.org/rqjoLzWO [01:45] it is probably permissions [01:45] Anyone offer advice, I am trying to find a solution my bittorrenting problem. I have tried transmission and Deluge, they both continually fill up my memory in cache until the system is unusable... Any ideas, maybe a new program? [01:45] mainly the problem with the dvb device unable to load, or something [01:45] gigabyte [01:45] Gigabyte Please do what sambagirlx said. That must be a good forum [01:45] scorp007: seems like it can't connect to mysql, right? [01:45] #joomla is great [01:45] jrib, but yes, that too [01:46] scorp007: what version of ubuntu? [01:46] jrib, 10.4 [01:46] to be honest gigabyte i think that wordpress is much easier to work with [01:46] id10t, how much ram do you have? [01:46] @bazhang how resource heavy would it be to use the mythbuntu desktop, will it run on my reg desktop and will I still be able to multi task? [01:46] gigabyte more robust too [01:46] jrib, I was concerned more with the dvb card failing though -- and fixing everything including mysql with a restart of the service [01:46] but they're all probably related. [01:47] the problem is not in joomla..Warning! Failed to move file....is it bechose this is protectes or something idk :/ [01:47] *protected [01:47] scorp007: yeah, then you likely suffer from bug #609402. What's the version the "mythtv" package you have installed? Might the dvb card failing be related to mysql? I don't know. But at least the mysql issue I have some clue on :P [01:48] Gigabyte It is permissions issues then [01:48] done365, pretty much the same as generic mythtv requirements, how much ram would of course be an issue, as well as hdd size, as mythtv is a PVR (like tivo) [01:48] gigabyte you might have to change the permissions [01:48] jrib, what's the command to tell the package version? [01:49] scorp007: apt-cache policy PACKAGE [01:49] gigabyte you know chmod stuff [01:49] nope [01:49] today i lerned ls [01:49] xD [01:49] :) [01:49] jrib, Installed: 0.23.0+fixes24158-0ubuntu2 [01:49] i think you need to try #joomla really. but i suggest you use wordpress it is really really nicer i think. [01:50] unless you just have requirement for joomla [01:50] @bazhang I am getting mythbuntu now any special setup or config I should be aware of in order to get the card working [01:50] what is #joomla? [01:50] Gigabyte, a channel for support [01:50] An IRC channel. It is their support forum just like this [01:50] Gigabyte: a channel for joomla [01:50] Except, for their product [01:51] type /join #joomla [01:51] jrib, come to think of it, the dvb failure could well be due to mysql. [01:51] that is the channel for superior joomla support [01:51] That is a strange message, above these three [01:52] done365, I'm not really able to answer that apart from reading the documentation, as I don't have an hauppage card [01:52] you mean wazzup corrytonapple? [01:52] Yes [01:52] Just very long,that is all [01:52] scorp007: yeah, I'd at least try to grab the changes in the upstart script made since then [01:52] jrib, heh, is that possible without a distro upgrade? [01:53] scorp007: sure, grab the package from packages.ubuntu.com (for example), extract it, read the upstart script, make sure changes are sane for your version, update your upstart script [01:53] oh, just manually hacking the file? [01:54] scorp007: sure, it's in /etc/ [01:54] scorp007: if you prefer, rebuild the source package from maverick [01:54] <---Slacker---ok im back, additional items were added to my ccsm [01:54] would it perhaps be easier to upgrade the package in its entirety? [01:55] scorp007: I'd say just fixing the upstart script is easier [01:55] ok [01:55] but not what i wanted. i guess flying windows is too outdated and hi-tech for ubuntu 9.10? lol [01:55] anyone know a good bittorrent client that doesn't bleed into cache? [01:55] @bazhang thanks for the input.....off to play with it now [01:55] id10t: transmission [01:55] id10t: rtorrent, [01:56] id10t, That's called a memory leak. Try using an older version of the same program [01:56] jrib, I'll try that -- just have a feeling it may depend on other new things in the new version... [01:56] bastidrazor: tried the installed version of transmission and its crashing my comp with memory leak [01:56] edbian: how can I revert to an older version? [01:56] id10t: i've had it running for 3 days. no leaks [01:57] jrib, so would I get one of these files? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/2:0.24.0+fixes.20101214.1405782-0ubuntu1 [01:57] id10t, You can use synaptic to install the package. Just right click on it and choose properties or something. There is some gui way of forcing an older version which is much easier [01:57] the problem could be that I am trying to torrent between hard drives... [01:57] they don't look like .deb files to me. [01:57] id10t, (easier than the cli method) [01:57] edbian: thanks I will give it a shot [01:58] scorp007: I would just use packages.ubuntu.com and grab the maverick one. You don't want the .deb, you want the source package [01:58] oh === nick is now known as Guest29869 [01:58] I know you can do this is bash easily, I want to wget {2011}{01}{29}.gif all possible combinations of that path. [01:58] Any tips? [01:59] scorp007: sorry. I just noticed it was only fixed in natty [02:00] jrib, ah ok [02:00] hey is here any channel for c++ pascal? [02:02] jrib, so does this page even have source packages? http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/amd64/mythtv-backend/download [02:02] looks like only debs [02:02] Gigabyte: that may be under #c++ [02:02] Gigabyte: ##c++ is fairly active. #pascal is not. The first also requires nickserv registration to talk, see the incoming message from ubottu. [02:02] ubottu: register > Gigabyte [02:02] scorp007: that page does not, no [02:02] Error: That operation cannot be done in a channel. [02:02] Gigabyte, please see my private message [02:02] * rww appends to list of special factoids he can't do that way >.> [02:03] scorp007: go back before your last click and look at right column though. If you have dget, you can just « dget uri_of_file.dsc » [02:03] oh, the dsc is what I need? [02:03] scorp007: no, but that will get you the rest of them too [02:04] I'm about to get http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/m/mythtv/mythtv_0.24.0+fixes.20101214.1405782-0ubuntu1.debian.tar.gz is that ok? [02:05] scorp007: that's one of the files you need, you need the three listed in the right column under "source package" (thus why using dget makes it easier :)) [02:05] jrib, oh. I tried sudo apt-get install dget, but no such package. [02:05] scorp007: it's in the devscripts package [02:05] but why do I need all three files if I just want to inspect the upstart script? [02:06] oh, thanks [02:07] scorp007: well, that way you can do dpkg-source -x and have a folder with everything in it. The actual data you want is in the debian directory. I guess you can just grab the debian.tar.gz if you want [02:07] oh ok [02:08] looks like that tgz has only changes since the .orig file [02:09] ok, well, it's going to take a while to download -- going really slow. I'll let you know when it's done. [02:10] scorp007: hold on, I'll grab it for you [02:10] Ehh...I ran a C++ program in xubuntu...its stuck in an infinite loop in xterm and is not closing, what the hell do I do?

[02:12] yes [02:12] Gigabyte, Install it proper ;) [02:12] vmware [02:12] Gigabyte, It is slow because the system has to run 2 os's at once [02:12] heh total 4gb ram and 2.8ghz dual core [02:13] it need to work propertly [02:13] Gigabyte, You just aid it was 1Gzh and 512 Mb ram [02:13] ok, so perhaps I should replace mine with that one? I'll back up the old one [02:13] i gave from total to ubuntu use that [02:13] Gigabyte: use lighter software, gnome is too heavy, so is compiz (if your using stock ubunutu) [02:13] scorp007: sure, seems sane [02:14] Gigabyte, well that should be enough hardware [02:14] 9.10 id version [02:15] gigabyte what is the problem you are experiencing? ubuntu works fab.

[02:38] phew. [02:39] can evolution open msg and imm files? [02:39] UTF: Try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic. [02:39] ok, second part? when i unplug my laptop is there a way to NOT get the system to sleep?? [02:39] kk i will.. thanks [02:39] Guest95690, the 11 means 2011, the 04 means april. It is a bug [02:40] Guest95690, yeah, look at the power settings [02:40] there is nothing in there , i set everything to never except close lid. [02:40] and it still does it. [02:41] hello! I installed my edubuntu system with eth2 and now I have replaced the nic which is named eth3. how can I assign eth3 to ltsp server? [02:41] i have to hit the power button to bring it back up. [02:42] not a big complain, but just annoying. [02:42] other than this. i love this OS!!! [02:42] well, ill look on google some more. [02:43] Guest29869, the power settings should be in 'settings > preferences > power management' [02:44] how do i know what ipOd touch i have i mean Model 1st gen or 2nd gen??

[02:45] Guest29869, thanks for redirecting that to Guest95690 :). also Guest95690 try using acpi_listen [02:45] gurkhali69: you want to use just one of your 3 nics? [02:45] anyone have experience creating an autorun.sh file on removable media? will it work on a fat drive (sdcard)? === thisircnewrandom is now known as IRCRndNmeGenSux [02:45] Dakrav, there is a gimp channel, #gimp [02:45] thanks [02:46] a3ther_, THIS IRC RANDOM NAME GENERATOR SUCKS. IT SHOULD BE MORE LIKE 00xX [02:46] Mike0001 [02:46] Billy0001 [02:46] Susy0001 [02:46] How might one go about remove a package that is neither fully removed or installed? [02:47] sacarlson: ya because i have only one nic now...named eth3.....but during installation it was...eth2 [02:47] clavin12: `apt-get purge pkg` should do it [02:47] klync, do you mean for windows? i think there is a flag in the hardware that tells windows if it should use autorun.inf, also this can be disabled on the windows machine, apart from that try copying a regular autorun.inf and editing the lines in it to point to the correct exe/icon. also this channel isnt for windows support ;) [02:48] clavin12: although i don't know if that will run pre/post scripts if the pkg isn't installed correctly [02:48] gurkhali69: you should be able to just plug a cable into it and maybe sudo dhclient eth3 should start to work unless you want to setup something static [02:48] a3ther_: no, it's a bash script i wrote [02:48] klync: I tried that. It doesn't work. [02:48] klync: the package is ttf-droid. [02:48] anyone know if evolution can open imm, and msg files, or import pst files [02:48] clavin12: if it doesn't have a lot of deps, you can always do apt-get install --reinstall and then purge [02:49] buenas [02:49] sacarlson: thank you i will try it right now... [02:49] Hey everyone, can someone help me out? I'm doing a network install and it fails at the package manager step (after I select the software I want to install). Any idea why that might be? [02:49] a3ther_: http://library.gnome.org/devel/autostart-spec/ [02:49] so I've got a laptop with either Ubuntu 10.04 32 or 64 bit installed, and I'm not sure which. it's broken, so I'm stuck at command line at the moment. how can I confirm which one it is? [02:49] MrWilly: uname -m [02:49] Jordan_U, that's the one. thanks! [02:50] a3ther_: sadly, when i google for support, all i get is windows noobs [02:51] klync: I'll try it === DreadKnight_ is now known as Dread === Dread is now known as DeadNIght === DeadNIght is now known as DeadNight [02:53] klync, do you have the script on the media? is the media mounted with the noexec option? i think this is the default. [02:54] klync: I got the same error. I'll post it. [02:54] a3ther_: hmm, noexec might be the problem ... i'm just relying on automount magic, so not sure what the options are - i'll check [02:54] can i copy 'fonts' folder from XP computer to /usr/share/fonts folder to use fonts on OO?? [02:54] clavin12: yeah, please do. removing a font shouldn't be so hard :/ [02:55] klync: I agree. [02:55] or they have to be copied to /home/my_name/.fonts?? [02:55] klync: According to that specification (if I understand correctly) you can't auto run executable files contained on the removable media: "If the relative path points to an executable file then the desktop environment MUST NOT execute the file." [02:56] klync: Removing ttf-droid ... [02:56] /etc/defoma/hints/ttf-droid.hints: Unable to open, or empty.

[02:56] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:56] where do the fonts reside to be used on Open Office on Lucid? [02:56] oops [02:56] clavin12: that's not it. :( /dev/sdb1 on /media/NO NAME type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush) [02:57] klync: that's not what exactly? [02:57] should i copy the fonts to /home/my_name/.font folder or /user/share/fonts folder?? [02:57] clavin12: it's not that the fs is mounted noexec [02:58] Jordan_U: the way i read that, that only applies to "autoopen", not to "autostart" files [02:58] Jordan_U: considering that "autostart.sh" is a valid name for the autostart file, you'd think it'd accept a shell script :/ [02:58] klync: Yes, re-reading I agree. === JimmyJ_ is now known as JimmyJ [02:59] clavin12: oh, ok .... that's an error that's safe to ignore... defoma was supposed to analyze and cache some "hints" about the font [02:59] where are the fonts files on Lucid? [03:00] \list [03:00] clavin12: i'm not sure why it didn't - should've been called on post-install to do so ... i suppose if the install didn't go correctly, then the uninstall would fail on that step, but if the install worked, you could probably get that uninstall to work without error by running defoma by hand (not sure off the top of my head, maybe with "dpkg-reconfigure defoma"?) [03:00] induz: /usr/share/fonts iirc [03:01] Is there such thing as a private way to change your ip. Or all the ways are the same? Like completely change your ip? [03:01] aeon-ltd, what is iirc?? [03:01] induz: If I Remember Correctly [03:01] klync: I'll try it. [03:02] herro: your external ip is assigned by your isp, so you have little control [03:02] klync: nope. [03:02] aeon-ltd, what about /home/my_name/.fonts?? [03:02] klync: What happens when you insert the media? What happens when you try to run the script directly like "/media/foo/autorun.sh" (*not* like "sh /media/foo/autorun.sh")? [03:03] induz: those are fonts for user use, the one i said was system wide [03:03] aeon-ltd, ok I got it now [03:04] Jordan_U: first a prompt "this media contains an autorun file; do you wish to run the autorun program?" .. then a second dialog with a run button, then an error "cannot find the autorun program" [03:04] herro: you can use a vpn service to appear to be at a different ip address in a different country, but I'm not sure that's what your looking for [03:05] aeon-ltd: Theres a guy on a forum selling a way to completely change your ip without a vpn or proxy he says its private [03:05] my computer is in spanish, is there a way to setup ONE program to be in english? [03:05] klync: That's certainly odd. [03:05] Jordan_U: yeah, the 10 min i spent writing this script was in vain. curses! [03:05] aeon-ltd, under /usr/share/fonts there are 3 folders...can i include one more folder? [03:05] herro: you can change your ip on your local lan network, but again I'm not sure what your goal is [03:06] herro, Are you talking about IP-spoofing? [03:06] klync: What happens when you try to run the script directly from a terminal like "/media/foo/autorun.sh" (*not* like "sh /media/foo/autorun.sh")? [03:06] no he says you dont need any programs nothing [03:06] herro, What does he do? [03:07] help [03:07] hola [03:07] hi [03:07] Jordan_U: it won't execute unless its set to [03:07] hi [03:08] Idk he selling it 10$ trying to prove hes a scammer lol his stuff does not make any sense. Hes saying like if it started with 24. it would change it to 70. But its not spoofing or anything he says its a "private method" [03:08] aeon-ltd: Unless what is set to what? [03:08] hi, i'm interested in creating an ubuntu installer USB stick without deleting what's on my USB stick or using fancy GNOME software [03:08] i just want to put vmlinuz and initrd and an iso image on the stick, as i do with debian [03:08] is this possible? [03:08] herro, sounds like a scam [03:08] how can i log in as root on Lucid? [03:09] quit [03:09] !root | induz [03:09] induz: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:09] exito [03:09] Jordan_U: uh-oh ... syntax error - i wonder if that was the problem.... i was worried about that line :/ [03:09] exit [03:09] kmc, unetbootin YMMV [03:09] kmc: Yes. [03:10] Jordan_U, i thought root is a command line [03:10] klync: should I use that command by istelf? [03:10] !nox | induz [03:10] induz: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [03:10] herro: at work that had a static ip system at the time I would just ping and find something that wasn't in use and change my ip to that [03:11] clavin12: not sure what the exact command is, but that's what's happening. if it's not causing you any other trouble, i'd just ignore it [03:11] herro, link?? [03:11] will unetbootin delete my exitsing files a3ther_? [03:11] kmc: No. [03:11] Jordan_U, could you elaborate please? [03:11] bazhang, how i copy a folder from a directory to another? [03:11] i don't think so, but if you value the files i would do some reading first / make a back up [03:11] klync: it's preventing me from installing the Prey security package. === DealingWithFools is now known as ExplodingPiglets [03:11] induz, what are you trying to do [03:12] i set iso to load the initrd and kernel i copied from the install cd, but it complains that it "can't find medium with live filesystem" [03:12] klync: possibly all .deb files that rely on ttf-droid. [03:12] i set isolinux* [03:12] anyone know how to run bitdefender from console? [03:12] klync. idk yet. [03:12] drthoth, bitdefended [03:12] err bitdefender drthoth === eagle20fox2 is now known as eagle20fox3 [03:12] i have 11.04 and with a recent update it always hangs when i am booting or a get a blank black screen, how can i fix it> [03:12] a3ther_: its invite only put heres a screen shot [03:12] clavin12: i thought you were trying to remove the pkg? [03:12] [03:12] do i have to restart after installing it? [03:13] faeln, #ubuntu+1 for that please [03:13] rgr, ty [03:13] kmc: The easiest way to do it is to use unetbootin or Ubuntu's "Startup Disk Creator", neither of which will delete existing files. If for some reason that's not acceptable (why?) then you can copy the iso to the flash drive, create a grub.cfg as explained here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F then install grub2 to the drive with grub-install. [03:13] bazhang, i am trying to copy FONT folder to /usr/share/font folder [03:13] klync: I can't remove ttf-droid. [03:13] I tried copy command but.. [03:13] nice, thank you Jordan_U [03:14] kmc: You're welcome. [03:14] klync: or install it. [03:14] klync: I want to install Prey. [03:14] <__yhvh__> hey guys, running 10.04 server in virtualbox on windows, I've tried to change the console resolution but I'm at a loss, grub has new resolution fine [03:14] klync: but the ttf-droid thing prevents it. [03:14] can anyone help me with upgrading to 10.10? [03:15] clavin12: i see.... what error do you get when you try installing it? (use pastebin this time) [03:15] klync: ok [03:15] herro, he is going to tell you to change you local ip from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.3, he is a scammer [03:16] i installed, bitdefender-scanner [03:16] but sees no app [03:16] <__yhvh__> herro: second name Protaganist?

[03:32] nathanspohn: sounds like one of many wifi cards that don't work all too well under linux. you might want to play around with the cmds using iwconfig and iwpriv (such as turning off powersaving). once you find the most stable settings for it, you can save them in your networking startup script [03:32] nathanspohn: also, if the card goes down and your system's buggy, try removing the module using rmmod [03:32] When I run fsck.ext4 -f /dev/mapper/kazumi-home I get a error [03:33] http://pastebin.com/xEdNJbjc ubuntu 10.10 a3ther_ [03:33] trans, please check the volume properties in 'system > preferences > sound > input'. also try playing with the input adapters [03:33] How do I go back to the noveou drivers?

[03:35] I attempted to shrink using the LVM tools and must have done it wrong [03:35] nigh* [03:36] induz, 'sudo cp -rv SOURCE DESTINATION' [03:36] yesterday night* [03:36] My network connection to NFS server drops for some unknown reason. Is there any related bug to this problem ? [03:36] Is there a way I can recover from this? [03:36] a3ther_: Don't it has any solutions === Guest53891 is now known as Freeaqingme [03:37] anzenketh, can you paste the output of fsck.ext4 please [03:37] trans, can you post the model of sound card you are using please, 'lspci' [03:37] edbian, a bit confused about how tagging works. I used the python module to extract the tags from mp3 and some show as having no tag but when playing the mp3 in a media player it shows the artist album title etc...I wonder where it pulls this information from if not in the ID3Tag [03:38] rpc.statd[969]: STAT_FAIL got the error in syslog [03:38] Sure it was in recovery mode let me see if it will boot up normaly. [03:38] So I can ssh into it [03:39] a3ther_: http://pastebin.com/ziqdHY32 [03:39] what's your name [03:40] a3ther_, It did something and created a folder on Destination but it says i dont have permission to dispaly [03:40] Jordan_U, I pressed the wrong button in unetbootin and it wrote to my system's boot drive. that's why i don't like fancy GNOME utilities [03:40] ezy, It's much easier to edit the tags using something like ex-falso [03:40] my name is gaofeng! [03:41] kmc: Do you need help fixing it? [03:41] CHINA [03:41] ezy, The tags are stored in the file along with the data for the music and such. Usually when you add a song to a music player like banshee or something it makes a data-base entry for the song. At that time the ID3 tags are read. If they're changed later it never notices cause it only looks one [03:41] ezy: if you're using the python-id3 package, it only supports id3 1.1, your file likely has only version 2 tags [03:42] Jordan_U, well, i removed the files it wrote there, and re-installed my system grub to that device [03:42] i hope it works [03:42] what is inode/directory?? [03:42] hi im having trouble installed debian at the aptitude sources part, something wrong with my network configuration, my server is ubuntu, ip 10.1.1.1, running firestarter to share the connection, the debian client pc is 10.1.1.2, I edited /etc/resolv.conf and put in the nameservers, so it should be working but its not [03:42] so nobody here can just tell me what unetbootin is going to do to my stick, so i can do it myself?

[03:43] induz, 'sudo chown YOURUSER:YOURUSER /DIRECTORY -rv' [03:43] thanks for your help [03:43] kmc: If you're doing it manually the grub2 route is easier.

[03:45] lookig for advice I am setting up a computer for my 4 and 6 year old and I was thinking of installing ubuntu (I am pretty new to ubuntu myself been using it long enough to be confortable with shell ssh and simple commands and I am good with google lol :) what I was thinking was to install something run vmware and another version of ubuntu desktop either mint or regular thats locked down and streamlined as I need but in vmware so I c [03:45] an have backup and blow it away if they mess it up, which I expect they will thoughts on linux / ubuntu distros and what would be easiest [03:45] rww, thought I'd try my luck in both rooms [03:45] a3ther_: I didn't understand [03:45] It's the same theory [03:46] Crash1hd, i think there is a ubuntu version for children / schools [03:46] a3ther_ did that one before now I keep getting errors like Error reading block 47185920 (Invalid argument) while reading inode and block bitmaps. Ignore error [03:46] a3ther_, what is YOURUSER:YOURUSER?? [03:46] Crash1hd, get the Miley Cyrus remix of ubuntu [03:46] trans, you need to change YOURUSER to your normal username. you can find that out with the command 'whoami' [03:47] a3Dman, yeah edbuntu [03:47] kmc: If your flash drive were "/dev/sdb" then it would basically be: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt; sudo cp /path/to/ubuntu_10.10.iso /mnt/; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdb; sudo vi /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg" where the grub.cfg would follow the template here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F [03:47] bucky, they dont know who that is and if I can help it they wont now lol [03:47] can anyone please help me , this is driving me crazy...i can't connect to the internet... iwas able fine this moring until i unplugged my cat5e and changed it from port1 to port 4 in my router [03:47] induz he is meaning those would be youruser followed by a : then a youruser [03:47] trism, version mismatch seems to be the likely candidate as all the ones my program was not able to read are v2.3 v2.2 and v2.4 [03:48] piper69 does changing it beck to the origional port work fine? [03:48] anzenketh, a3ther_ i am the owner and the user [03:48] anzenketh, did you resize the file system before you resized the partition ? [03:49] #ubuntu-it [03:49] umount /home [03:49] 71 lvreduce -L -100G /dev/kazumi/home [03:49] edbian, thought media players like banshee pulled it from the tag but having their own database makes more sense [03:49] induz, can you do a 'ls -la' of the destination please. [03:50] edbian, trism, thank you both...really appreciate your help [03:50] Anzufvytar, http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=132 [03:50] As it appears I've somehow installed the bootloader to USB, is it 'grub-install --root-directory=...' I need to fix things? [03:50] ezy, they pull it from the tag and put it in the data base. Then from then on they just read the database (it's faster) [03:50] ezy, no problem [03:50] anzenketh: OMG i was thinking the same thing and decided to do that. except when i went to do just that i found that i forgot to plug it in the first place [03:50] ezy: you could try using a different library, I think python-mutagen supports the more recent versions [03:51] anzenketh, lvreduce is only going to shrink the partition, before you do that you should shrink the file system that lives on that partition [03:51] a3ther_: where is that YOURUSER, I couldn't find.

[03:51] a3ther_ I figured I was shrinking the parition wrong. Is there a way that I can recover from this and what is the correct way to resize a Logical volume. [03:52] I'm on 10.04... should I even bother trying to update tool [03:52] ezy, Banshee I know for a fact only changes the database not the ID3 tags [03:52] trans, 'export YOURUSERNAME=`whoami` && sudo chown YOURUSERNAME:YOURUSERNAME /where/you/copied/stuff/too' [03:52] a3ther_, it has green with drwxr-xrwx [03:52] trism, I will have to use the python-mutagen together with the module for v1 right or python-mutagen also supports older versions so I just have to use only one module ? [03:52] anzenketh, you can try resizing the filesystem now and hope that it isnt that broke [03:53] I am unaware on how to resize the filesystem. [03:53] New to LVM. [03:53] hey guys, i'm having this problem - i mount a windows share using cifs and fstab..this works fine..i'm mounting the shares to /mnt - i need to get access to these folders from another application running within a chroot so im trying to mount /mnt using bind to another folder inside a chroot however when i mount it i cannot see the contents of the windows shares...

[04:04] anzenketh, you can probably just delete the filesystem and create a new one on the partition [04:04] anyone have experience with xbmc?

[04:04] anzenketh, any ideas on how to figure out? [04:04] mrapple: maybe top -b -n1 -n1 will iterate only one time instead of loop [04:05] and yes, tried #xbmc, in there now, they keep saying try windows [04:05] dylan_ has it ever worked [04:05] yes [04:05] but not with this install [04:05] i dont think [04:05] anzenketh, you will lose all the data on /var, but i _think_ that will get rebuilt as apps access it. [04:05] not sure [04:05] a3ther_ ya I am sure that would work. But sounds like too much work [04:05] definitely with ubuntu on this machine though [04:05] Blank: That will prompt you for where grub should be installed, and in addition to installing it will remember that drive when grub needs to be upgraded in the future.

[04:07] a3ther_: thanks, i think this will work [04:07] oh ok .. when i quit the game, would it bring me back to that screen or is it safe to just restart the computer as it'd only take about 25secs [04:07] oh /var it was 50G I was trying to resize it to 10 [04:07] and /home was 400G was trying to resize it to 100 [04:08] you should resize the filesystem first then the partiton [04:08] Yep know that now [04:08] x20twelve, I think that when you exit the game, it would take you back to the prompt, and you just type "exit" and that would take you back to the login screen [04:08] ok im gonna try it now...brb!

[05:33] <_jesse_> Sinister: are you sure it isn't just mounting the phone/camera? [05:33] Well, assuming it's not the above, you've probably got your mount points fucked for some reason. [05:34] when i open it it shows the dir of my /dev/sdb [05:36] Is that your external or built in HDD [05:36] external [05:37] my printer card reader works right just not the phone [05:37] it worked on 10.4 and fedora 13 [05:38] whats a good IPblocker? (like peerblock) [05:38] Well, unless I'm more of a newb then I think I am (Which is quite likely) like I said, your mount points are incorrectly configured.

Does anyone know how I can fix it? I suspect graphics issues, but haven't been able to find a fix. Loads fine, but crashes between a few minutes and a few hours, and often times I cannot boot into that kernel after a crash. [07:34] is anyone else in here using a modified version of jolicloud on a netbook??

I use to get this resolution in windows.. Using On-board Graphic Motherboard : Asus P5GC-MX [07:39] som1 help me please [07:39] hi how do I "update" my ubuntu fom the command line? [07:40] I mean to install all the new packages and security patches [07:40] sudo apt-get update [07:40] chalcedony, close... looking for a product inventory management [07:40] apt-get update seems to only "update" the database, not download and install the packages... am I correct? [07:40] frostero, you don't want much, do you? .. i'll try more [07:40] sorry mang [07:40] sudo apt-get upgrade [07:41] i have looked at a few, but haven't found a good fit [07:41] so i figured i would test some heads here and see if someone had better options [07:41] Ok. I will try that as well, but I'm thinking it may be a ubuntu issue. Actually, I believe it has something to do with video drivers, as that's what people have mentioned so far. I've seen a couple kinds of crashes, usually involving the GUI to turn off and either errors to display or just a black screen and frozen white cursor. I have a Radeon HD 4650 and I have heard there may be driver issues in the newer kernels, but I can't s [07:41] ati support sucks balls on ubuntu [07:42] its getting better tho [07:42] its getting better across all linux platforms [07:42] what do i install to get make, gcc, and all the headers [07:43] frostero: yeah I noticed that ATI support is hit and miss.

[08:28] what's the meta package for gnome? [08:29] frostero: yes [08:29] pull your drive [08:29] Dementio: you probably want ubuntu-desktop [08:29] pop it in the external, plug it into another box and copy your data [08:29] unless its encrypted [08:29] if it was i doubt you would be asking the question [08:30] (tsimpson): that's close, but it installs a LOT of stuff i don't want [08:30] hi [08:30] frostero: then what is the next step?? [08:30] col0ur: but I think the device would still be seen with iwconfig if that was the case, you should also look at what is seen with iwconfig [08:31] ok [08:31] test@billy:~/Desktop$ iwconfig [08:31] lo no wireless extensions.

[08:35] you need a new cd [08:35] also remove your bios password [08:35] Dementio: if your user has no .dmrc (thats where the last selection is saved) it would use the system default. [08:35] frostero, I don't have a bios password [08:35] ok [08:35] then you should have no prob booting from a live cd into the OS [08:35] if you do, try another cd [08:36] frostero, you mean I have to burn the same image file again on a new cd, or I have to use a different image file? [08:36] no [08:36] My ISP just announced that their hand has been forced by Bell Canada and the CRTC and that, come March, they'll be charging ridiculous overage fees. Can anyone point me to a guide to setting up a local apt-get cache for my LAN? [08:36] get a earlier dist and burn a new cd [08:36] motz: you did verify the md5 of the image? you can tell your video card by checking the output of 'lspci' command also. [08:36] try from that [08:36] col0ur: then I assume the rfkill list also returns nothing? [08:36] (Dr_Willis): thanks, was looking for that file. checked custom.conf, but it kept using last choice [08:36] I don't know, PClinux either didn't write to disk well or didn't like my hardware. [08:36] i agree Dr_Willis [08:36] did you verify it? [08:37] One of my PCs has several hundred gigs of free space, so I'd prefer to cache everything possible. [08:37] sacarlson, what is rfkill/ [08:37] ssokolow_: you wanna cache several hundred gigs? [08:37] ssokolow_: install the apt-cacher-ng program on one box on the lan. and let it cache the pacakges for the rest of the lan. [08:38] ssokolow_: as for cacheing othe rthings.. theres a few http/web cachers out there. but i dont use those. [08:38] frostero, I'm saying I have several hundred gigs free. [08:38] ah [08:38] Dr_Willis, *nod* Already planning to use Polipo for HTTP since, as I understand, it'll cache HTTP 1.1 Range requests like partial YouTube requests better than Squid.

[08:39] your fukd [08:39] frostero, now i was writing in textual mode and the computer crashed. Why? [08:39] check your logs [08:39] now I can only restart [08:40] Are you getting an error message when you have to restart? [08:40] All that's really left is to lock down BitTorrent to a single shared WebUI for the house, decide on an FTP cache, thank my ISP for capping to 64kbit once overage kicks in so I never pay more than the rounded-up $1.90 for the first overage gig, and design an "inverse BitTorrent" to make SneakerNet a viable mitigation option. [08:40] no [08:40] motz: sounds like you are either having some hardware issues, or currupted files when you installed. [08:40] ssokolow_: there is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror or the apt-mirror tool [08:41] What if i try the live cd 64 instead of the 32 one? [08:41] tsimpson, Thanks. [08:41] is your hardware capable of a 64 bit sys? [08:41] are your running a 32 live now? [08:42] I don't know. I just bought a new laptop, so I guess it is advanced [08:42] Is a processor named on a label somewhere? [08:42] try running a 32bit live first [08:42] Like "AMD 64"? [08:42] frostero, yes, I'm running a 32 now [08:43] get a hardware profile for the laptop [08:43] the processor is a intel dual core [08:43] And it doesn't advertise being 64 bit? [08:43] sometimes linux doesnt deal with multicore very effectively [08:43] it happens [08:44] frostero, so, what do you suggest me? [08:44] motz: brand new (as in just came out this month) laptops can be very problematic. [08:45] motz:http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download [08:45] motz: You might watnt to test the next reelase ( but it IS in testing right now) [08:45] try the lastest and see what happens [08:45] 1010 has been really solid for me [08:45] Dr_Willis, which release, the 10.10? [08:46] motz: with any of the releases.. over the years.. every time i get a 'brand new' laptop. it seems i often have issues. untill the next release after the laptop came out.

If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [08:46] i would test out 11.04 on it. and file any bugs if it dosent work properly. [08:46] Could you have better chances with other, distro, like debian for instance? [08:47] motz:google is your friend, you need to exactly identify you problem before you can diagnose it tho [08:47] frostero, I'm not able to do this [08:47] keep your logs running strong and you will [08:47] Why? [08:47] <_`-`> in other news, banshee has managed to royally screw my iPod [08:47] motz: You need to research what video card chipset the thing has, and be sure you had a good 'cd' made. or boot/install from a flash drive.

[08:49] i need some more beer after that comment [08:49] I think the flooding was warranted though. [08:49] hmm [08:49] bbiab, gonna see what kind of gain I can make on my issue [08:50] laterz y0 [08:50] thanx for the help yalzz [08:50] Lol, I still have a laptop that won't turn on. [08:50] col0ur: but from reading your pastebin above it seems it's an unclaimed device so it has no drivers attached, I guess you will have to manually modprobe the 5 or so drivers that are available for that device untill you find the one that works, you should see what's presently blacklisted [08:55] seems ive been getting a lot more lag/disconnects on freenode lately.. anyone else been seeing this issue? [08:56] Could someone tell me how to "burn several discs" in Brasero? Simply hitting the "Burn Several Discs" button doesn't appear to actually do anything... [08:56] Dr_Willis: #freenode is the place, but yes [08:56] tehbaut: ive noticed issues with that and some systems. it depends on jhow they eject the disk. some laptops have issues ive found where they cant prtoperly eject. so they get confused when a new disk is inserted. [08:56] tehbaut: you may want to try some other burning tool. Brassero is often.. well.. problematic. [08:57] durn, I already made my file selection and pared it down [08:57] rename u13 u_ser_13_fb [08:57] save [08:57] So, just a question, of the three, Dell, HP, Apple (mac), which ones users do IT guys stereotype as being the stupidest? (Not trollin.) [08:57] I guess I'll just remove some more, and do a second disc manually [08:57] tehbaut: make a single iso of the disk to the HD. perhaps. . then you can burn copies easially. [08:57] Dr_Willis: I assumed my disconects were my isp changing my ip address, I see it on average about 2 times a day but sometimes more [08:57] johnm: you've done that twice now, what's the problem ? [08:58] bah, Brasero just crashed :/ [08:58] Brasero, kinda sucks. [08:58] tehbaut: yea. Brasero really should be replaced with somthing else.. [08:58] why's it included then?! :P [08:58] tehbaut: we often ask that on the forums... :) [08:59] !burn [08:59] CD/DVD Burning software: K3b (KDE), gnomebaker, brasero, serpentine, graveman, Nautilus-CD-Burner, GToaster, xcdroast (GNOME), wodim (terminal-based).

[09:01] just ask it [09:01] sacarlson, im not too sure how to find what to modprobe, but thanks for continuing to help :) [09:01] we all live by the glow of the terminal. [09:01] (Dr_Willis): friggin finally, omg thank you [09:01] finally [09:01] I am presently on an old machine that I haven't used in a while. 10.10 is installed on it... (continuing) [09:02] I wanted to know how the disk drives were setup [09:02] Dementio: Huh? :) what was it. [09:02] i honestly don't know [09:02] I went to disk utility and it shows I have two 1TB drives [09:02] MrMintanet: 'sudo fdisk -l' to see their layout. [09:02] or gparted. or that disk utility can show. but i tend to use fdisk -l, or gparted. [09:02] Well, my question was- How can I setup uTorrent to download to either disk, because when I go to "Computer", I see nothing but "file sysetem" and the optical drive. [09:03] i installed gnone-desktop, and an alsa update, and then there was a pulseaudio update [09:03] hi guys. I need to find a way to convert dicom video files to something more compatible... is this possible under ubuntu?would definatelly prefere a gui thingy!!tnxz in advance!! [09:03] so who knows [09:03] all i know is i finally have 5.1 in mkv's and dvd [09:03] MrMintanet: you tell the torrent to dowload to a directory. are you saying you dont understand the filesystem layout and mountpoints of all the disks on the system? The mount command will show whats mounted where. [09:03] Well, that was my question, I'm not sure how to test if this is a raid or not [09:03] now just hope it'll all work when i switch it to a blu-ray drive monday [09:03] MrMintanet: its possible the filesystems on the other disks are not mounted anywhere. [09:04] May I copy/paste the results from sudo fdisk -l? If so, what is the link to do that?\ [09:04] MrMintanet: start with fdisk, and mount.

[09:04] MrMintanet: if it's raid or not isn't really anything to do with Linux, unless you are using Linux softrware raid, in which case that would show in the disk tool [09:04] MrMintanet: you may want to install the pastebinit command - it makes pasting that info easier. [09:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/560145/ [09:05] (Dr_Willis): it was linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.35-25-generic that i installed [09:05] I'm not sure how I configured this, and I was hoping someone could not only tell me what kind of disk configuration I have setup, but if they could also explain the logic behind the sudo fdisk -l command and the results I receive [09:05] and a PA update [09:06] who knows which fixed it [09:06] Anyone? [09:06] col0ur: you can look at the blacklist file I think at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf or near there, I think you can try the blacklisted ones to see if they work also see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1418676 [09:06] Hmm MrMintanet ive no idea what filesystem 'SFS' is on the 2nd hd.. --> /dev/sdb1 1 121602 976761528+ 42 SFS [09:06] output of the command df -h : if you have a 1TB entry with "/dev/md#" (# == a number) then its a software raid.

[09:07] MrMintanet: sounds right - you'd have to have one up. Does df -h command have any 1TB entries ?

Grrrrr! [09:09] Thanks for the help, but I still am confused on what kind of disk configuration I have setup. [09:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/560146/ [09:09] MrMintanet: not really, boot your box, if it detects a raid disk in the bios, you know it's raid, if it doesn't, it's not raid [09:09] MrMintanet: as I've said 3 times it's nothing to do with linux [09:09] It happens, my hardware switch for my wifi once reversed, not funny. [09:09] MrMintanet: based on the output, your / is one of your 1TB drives (906G) and the other does not appear mounted. did you setup/format a partion on the second drive ? [09:09] MrMintanet: stop pasting the output of df - it shows nothign of value [09:09] MrMintanet: you got everything on sda, single partiion a nd a swap. No idea what that SFS is on sdb. Try mounting it by hand and seeing whats on there.. if nothing.. then i would reparittion it to be some other more usefull filesystem, [09:09] after btrfs subvolume set-default , how to make it back [09:09] [Live CD] Opening a terminal obtains here the prompt 'ubuntu@ubuntu:~$'. Why does http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/tips/save_details.htm obtain the prompt 'root@GParted:~#'?

GParted's logs you in as root. [09:11] ok [09:11] MrMintanet: just guessing at layout, but try fdisk -l /dev/sdb [09:11] llutz_: which is the guys current dir at the time. :) so yes..

And every X number of days of uptime, my sound stops working. I kill pulseaudio, but that does not fix it. Can anyone help me get to the root of this issue? i.e. Is there any other services that I can reset (other than a full system reboot)? [09:43] frostero, I started ubuntu in "try mode", from cd and it works perfectly. What does that mean? [09:44] Dr_Willis, do I do that on this box or the one I can't ssh to? [09:44] skilz_: your local box keeps a cache of known hosts.. thats the one sending you the warning. [09:44] ah k [09:45] Dr_Willis, what do I change? its one BIG LONG line of jibberish [09:46] skilz_: thers one line for each host you have sshed to.. [09:46] skilz_: It should have given you some sort of line number with the warning. [09:46] if theres just 1 line for one host.. delete the line then [09:46] skilz_, iirc.. delete the entire line, save the file, and try to shell into the other box again. [09:46] what about if I just rm the file? [09:46] skilz_, that'll work too. [09:46] Dr_Willis: As for more recent versions I don't think raw ip/addresses are shown anymore. [09:47] for some reason, I can't delete a certain partition (HFS+ formatted) in Disk Utility, even though I have hfsprogs installed... any idea why, or how to get it to delete? [09:47] skilz_: hats another way [09:47] skilz_: rm would work, but it's a poor security choice normally. [09:47] tehbaut: try gparted. [09:48] hy [09:48] ok awesome, problem solved, thanks guys but one more problem I do have, hmm yessss [09:48] I wouldent think hfsprogs would be needed to delete a hfs partition. [09:48] it is not just up to me. it is up to them. they are the owners. they will decide if it will function. there are thousand and thousands of other people who have had contact like me and it continue to this day. [09:48] Im having a big problem, I have 2 pcs with ubuntu networked, let's call this pc1 (my pc) and pc2 (my girlfriends)... pc1 can browse the network shares on pc2, but pc2 cannot browse the network shares on pc1??? [09:48] a partition is just a partition, the file system doesn't matter [09:48] Dr_Willis: gparted always crashes because the disk contains partially copied partitions... but this partition I'm trying to delete is whole [09:49] tehbaut: theres always the fdisk command i guess.. [09:49] DrummerBoy38: have you logged a bug [09:49] hey i have problem with changing language [09:49] :/ [09:49] skilz_: you may need to install some of the various samba pacakges on the pc's some may be missing. [09:49] ikonia, I think I have narrowed it down to about 1 cause [09:50] DrummerBoy38: no, have you logged a bug [09:50] skilz_: make a share on pc1,. add see if pc1 can see its own shares. [09:50] what are you saying [09:50] DrummerBoy38: I'm saying "have you logged a bug against xchat" [09:50] Hey.. i just plugged in nr. 2 external harddrive.. should that not be possible? i can only see nr. 1, and NOT nr. 2... both are WD MY books (500GB and 2TB) [09:50] Dr_Willis: that command scares me, frankly :P [09:50] it is x-chat gnome that is the problem. this x-chat is fine [09:51] it is still crashing :O( [09:51] DrummerBoy38: have you logged a bug against x-chat-gome ? [09:51] need help enabling sound on my imac [09:51] tehbaut: i cant imagine why gparted would crash due to data on the hd pattions.. thats scarier.. [09:51] with ubuntu 10.10 64bit [09:51] tehbaut: if you just want to delete things , fdisk isent too hard :) [09:51] Dr_Willis, yes pc1 can see its own shares [09:52] skilz_: you can also try entering the full path to the shares on the pc's using the ip# instead of the hostname. that may get it working. [09:52] ie: smb://192.168.1.100/sharename [09:52] ok [09:52] hey whats that console chat application called [09:53] skilz_: i use weechat for the console irc client. theres irssi, and others. [09:53] skilz_: irssi, weechat [09:53] you install it on a box and you ssh to it and can chat with each other, used it back in the day can't remember the name [09:53] ikonia, a piece of super strong metallic cloth may have protected the alien bug in its space craft. [09:53] nah not irc client [09:53] local system chat [09:53] guys [09:53] any help? [09:53] i dont have any sound [09:54] on my imac [09:54] sorry ikonia, i sometimes fuse sentences . one moment [09:54] !help [09:54] 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. :-) [09:54] DrummerBoy38: I just want a yes or no response. "have you logged a bug against x-chat-gnome" ? [09:54] hello [09:55] how can i run a .exe using wine from a CD? it says it needs an executable bit, but I can't change a CD file... [09:55] takoylis: theres a lot of different imacs out. You did check the forums [09:55] ikonia, no i have not. i had fallen asleep. [09:55] jpsman: easy way. use the command line... wine /media/wheverthecdisat/watever.exe [09:55] I have NO SOUND on my iMac 21" 3.06 GHZ , Ubuntu 64bit [09:55] DrummerBoy38: then I suggest you log a bug, as detailed as you can, as nothing will get fixed if people don't know about a bug [09:55] frostero, where do I find the logs I have to read? [09:56] Dr_Willis, 'talk' is what I was trying to think of :) [09:56] Dr_Willis, here's my hardware: http://pastebin.com/sjj5F2pi . Do you have any suggestion? [09:56] motz: i dont even recall what the original problem was. === max is now known as Guest39359 [09:57] I'd like to move to the left and enlarge my /home partition using GParted. I obtained 3 times: "Input/output error while reading from /dev/sda." (http://paste.ubuntu.com/560143). But the sector number was different each time. -- How to proceed? [09:57] Dr_Willis, it crashes, i get a blank screen and I just can resete [09:58] bullgard4: that paste is useless, it's just html [09:59] motz: but a live cd works? [09:59] bullgard4: io errors coming from HDs are not a good sign.. You do have backups of anything imporntant? [09:59] Dr_Willis, you the "try mode" ? [09:59] Dr_Willis, yes, it works [09:59] ikonia: I do not understand why the paste is useless. Please elaborate. [10:00] motz: thats odd.. it could be some files are messon the cd and you dont have the issue untill they get installed. or some hd issue. [10:00] Dr_Willis: Yes, I do have a backup of /home [10:00] Dr_Willis: based on the partition table I saw from bullgard4 yesterday, I suspect he's getting IO errors as he's probably trying to move an extended partition outside the bounds of the extended container, or something along those lines [10:00] bullgard4: because the paste shows a lot of html code, [10:00] motz: i would check the md5 of the cd. and perhaps put it on a flash drive. and try a reinstall. [10:00] Dr_Willis: well I was able to gparted via terminal, by doing gparted /dev/sdb3 ...and I was able to delete the partition, and now it shows as unallocated. However, the partition is still there, still mountable and still shows up in disk utility... this is ridiculous! [10:01] tehbaut: reboot.. the system is using the old patition tabke. [10:01] ikonia: The GParted program offers this file output format. [10:01] tehbaut: used to be fdisk would say a message aliong the lines 'Warning: system is using old partition table' [10:01] bullgard4: that doesn't make it good - it's usless [10:01] dr [10:01] Dr_Willis: yes, this is after rebooting [10:01] tehbaut: i rarely notice that issue these days.. disk contro.ers may be smarter. [10:01] ikonia: Ah! Understood. [10:01] trying to connect a friends machine to a VPN ... the same VPN my system connects to ... and his keeps saying "VPN service failed to start" ... why? [10:02] tehbaut: also you used gparted /dev/sdb no sdb3 ? === phantom is now known as Guest43412 [10:02] Hey there [10:02] Dr_Willis: no, using just /dev/sdb will crash gparted [10:02] hi guys. i m using ubuntu 10.10. but when i checked the "about ubuntu" it is showing "You are using Ubuntu 11.04- the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012". It's kind of strange.. I have not upgraded my os [10:02] hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a hardware raid0, I had Windows 7 on it but grub doesn't show Windows 7 Loader and when I select Ubuntu it shows me BusyBox, what should I do please ? [10:02] tehbaut: you got some deeper issues then. how about just 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb' ? [10:03] Dr_Willis: after rebooting, I re-ran gparted /dev/sdb3 and it still shows as unallocated, so I've no idea what's up [10:03] How can i check the filesystem on my external drive? i can check in properties on one of them (i have 2) but the new one (2TB WD, my book) i cant see what filesystem it uses.. any ideas? [10:03] Fkkkk [10:03] tehbaut: gparted on /dev/sdb should definatly not be crashing gparted. Unless theres somthing very weird on the disk layout/partition table. [10:04] im suprised that gpar5ted /dev/sdb3 even worked.. [10:05] Dr_Willis: I'm sure there is... I've been using dd to copy other partitions, and some only partially copied, and I may not have even copied the partition table at the front of the disk, so it probably created its own... [10:05] * tehbaut shrugs [10:05] network test [10:05] in fact.. gparted /dev/sdb3 would seem totally WRONG from what i just tried with it. [10:05] I just found something disturbing while cleaning up some old kernels. title Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.32-28-generic [10:05] uuid 98c9ecd2-6fe8-4eb6-88a7-f0f39be15645 [10:05] kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-28-generic root=UUID=32e6fdfb-5e4d-4e6c-8850-4a3f0062040d ro quiet splash [10:05] initrd /initrd.img-2.6.32-28-generic [10:05] and it appears to have been this way a whil and was booting. Anyone know why it is missing the /boot/vmlinuz...? [10:05] linuxtech: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:05] it seems to be looking on partition sdb3 as if it was a whold hd.. which its not. === trijntje_ is now known as trijntje [10:06] abhijain, use lsb_release -a will tell you you ubuntu version [10:06] tehbaut: You may want to zero out the whole hd and repatition it from the beginning. [10:06] Dr_Willis: this is only a temporary stop on a data recovery adventure... so I'll get to that point eventually [10:07] What device should I choose for the bootloader installation ? /dev/sda ? /dev/mapper/.... Linux Device-mapper ? /dev/mapper... Windows 7 (loader) ? [10:07] tehbaut: using a disk partioning tool on a specicic partion. is not correct. :) for example 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb3' is basically going to print jibberish. /dev/sdb should work [10:08] edwardteach, ??? [10:08] ikonia: I copied the GParted error output file to a USB stick, plugged the USB stick into another Ubuntu computer and Firefox could perfectly read the file in a well-formatted manner. [10:08] gparted may be a bit smarter. it seems to be at least. [10:08] Dr_Willis: well I can give you a backtrace of the errors when I try /dev/sdb... but I have no idea what they mean [10:09] tehbaut: i doubt if i know either. [10:09] is there anyway can i hibernate ubuntu ?? [10:09] DISCLAIMERp: do not confuse three of us! we three are different persosns [10:09] tehbaut: if you still have the orignal data. I would repartition the spare/problem hd. and rebackup [10:09] there is no option at power button [10:09] edwardteach, ^^^^ [10:09] abhijYes. [10:09] how?? [10:09] Dr_Willis: the original data is from a dead/dying hard drive, so no... I'd rather not do that ;) [10:10] tehbaut: how can yu even verify what you copied is good.. catch-22 situation. [10:10] if only I could add another partition beyond the four already on there... I'd be okay, but I never created an extended partition, so until I delete this one, I'm stuck at the four [10:10] tehbaut: you may alwso want to try fsarchiver, or ddrescue or dd_rescue in the future. not normal 'dd' [10:10] how to check what tty or pts a user is on? [10:11] Dr_Willis: yeah, that's ideally the next step in the process... but I'm getting there slowly, with lots of bottlenecks :\ [10:11] abhijeet: One possibility: Grep help.ubuntu.com for "ACPI" and "Hibernate" [10:12] Dr_Willis: yeah, I used both dd and ddrescue... both failed to completely copy, and the drive got ridiculously slow... like 1kB/s transfer speeds [10:12] bullgard4, i will check that site [10:12] Hibernate/suspend Often causes more issues then its worth. [10:12] Ubuntu 10.10 partition is being shown as "unallocated" after Windows 7 install. How to get it back? Anyway to recover the partition rather than just the data? [10:13] <_java_> Windows writes a new partition table on install, good luck. [10:13] fakeer: try booting a live cd. and mointing the patition. see if it can be recovered [10:13] Dr_ [10:13] !tab [10:13] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:13] Hey.. i just plugged in nr. 2 external harddrive.. should that not be possible? i can only see nr. 1, and NOT nr. 2... both are WD MY books (500GB and 2TB) [10:13] abhijain, sorry lol [10:14] Dr_Willis, the md5 corresponds [10:14] Dr_Willis: I tried but the partition is being shown as unallocated. So it couldn't mount. [10:14] vooze: clarify what you mean.. I have about 5 usb hds on here. [10:15] Dr_Willis: so do you know any way to tell what data might be partially missing/corrupted due to fragmentation beyond the copied threshold of the original partition, or due to data missed because of bad blocks not being copied over? [10:15] fakeer: theres some tools out that can try to recover the partiton tables.. but ive never used them. IF the data is still there in theory you could use gparted to set its type. and Just its type and not reformat it.. and it may work.. [10:15] Dr_Willis, oh sorry wrong line, 2 sec [10:15] How can i check the filesystem on my external drive? i can check in properties on one of them (i have 2) but the new one (2TB WD, my book) i cant see what filesystem it uses.. any ideas? [10:15] tehbaut: Not really. perhaps fsarchiver [10:15] vooze: 'sudo fdisk -l' is one way. f its a new HD. its proberly NTFS [10:15] Dr_Willis, what do we have to conclude? hd problem? [10:16] Dr_Willis: Could you please be more clear. And great if a few links/tuts you might be knwoing. [10:16] motz: hard to tell. could be a hd issue. or memory issue. or some odd quirk in the drivers that got updated during install. [10:16] I have a question, and I am certain it is not a "beginner" question. Could someone help me, or have I worn out my welcome already? [10:16] fakeer: Ive not had to recover such things in 7+ years. so i dont even know aht new guides are out there on the topic. [10:17] !info parted [10:17] parted (source: parted): The GNU Parted disk partition resizing program. In component main, is standard. Version 2.3-2ubuntu2 (maverick), package size 72 kB, installed size 196 kB [10:17] MrMintanet Please put a specific question here in this channel. [10:17] I recall some partion recoveruy cli tool on a rescue cd. but cant recall its name [10:17] Dr_Willis: However, it was 9.10's GParted that shows me Ubuntu partition as unallocated [10:17] Dr_Willis: testdisk (parted package) [10:17] Dr_Willis, finally thanks! :) it was NTFS.. its just because the "old 500GB" is FAT32.. and that REALLY sucks in linux :D [10:18] <_java_> Mr. we all agreed that guy was a jerk, your fine. [10:18] a [10:18] Dr_Willis: Okay. Actually earlier XP and Vista did only grub overright and 7 has gone one step ahead. Thanks anyway... [10:18] fakeer: ive never noticed or heard of windows 7 deleteing linux patitions.. [10:18] fakeer: i just have the 1 windows 7 box however.. so i dont use it a lot. [10:19] Dr_Willis, what do you suggest me to do? should I give up? [10:19] motz: try a 11.04 cd perhaps. this is a 'brand new' laptop ? you may want to check teh ubuntu forums. they often have more up to date things then what we know here. [10:20] When I boot up my system, i have two brand new drives (one hooked up externally via eSATA and the other connected internally SATA) both on the same controller. The drives pass smart tests and all diagnostics, however... when I boot my system, my boot haults and says that there is a critical error with my system, I can "Ignore" "Skip" or "Manually Repair" the problem. I have added "dev/sdb1 /media/DATA ext4 defaults 0 1" to [10:20] the end of my /etc/fstab file so that these spare drives mount on startup. Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong? [10:20] Dr_Willis, where do I find a 11.04 cd? [10:20] <_java_> I was reading a FAQ the other day, like I said, windows 7 supposedly rewrites the partition table during install. (I assume as an "F U" to the owner of the machine.) [10:21] motz: it sould be ojn the ubuntu dowmnloads/torrents. or check topic in #ubuntu+1 [10:22] _java_: it wouldent make sence for it to delete/modify existing partitions. but you may want to ask for clarifiation in #windows ive never 'reinstalled' windows 7 yet. === marku379 is now known as newlad [10:23] changeing the partiion table is one thing.. but thats a list of existing partitions.. . altering an actual partiioon is another whole thing.. [10:23] <_java_> True, "unallocated [10:24] <_java_> Crap accidentally pressed enter. "Unallocated" is a bit different isn't it. [10:24] where is the location of db of winehq i had some programs installed and then i was probably removed them from the disc but wine show me that they are installed [10:24] i need to remove them [10:25] hey yallz [10:26] <_java_> Yes? [10:26] i need someone good with hardware and drivers, [10:26] ajah: wine shows them as instaslled where exactly? [10:26] specifically hardware and drivers [10:26] ajah: how is wine showing that. [10:26] audio/video [10:26] Hello Guruz. Anyone please know, how to keep an X11 app running in the background that I started via an ssh forwarded X11 session? [10:27] on board video [10:27] not sure if bg and Ctrl-Z would help in this case [10:27] looks like a specific chipset [10:27] Dr_Willis, from the start menu wine>programs and list me some programs installed [10:27] or how to bring it back to the front again [10:27] Dr_Willis, could you give me the whole path to the 11.4? [10:27] it requires more then i can give right now [10:28] can someone help him out? [10:28] ajah: thats not 'wine' showing anything. when a wine app installs.. the process gernates a .destktop and other files that gnome menus use. :) [10:28] ajah: i think they are stored in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged [10:28] ./ [10:29] hi, for upgrades that come to my ubuntu box, can i see a changelog somewhere? [10:29] its not that much i know, but someone more knowledgable can quick fix this [10:29] for the packages that get upgraded? [10:29] Dr_Willis: Neither did I. Erlier (Vista and XP) all I had to do was bot off a LiveCD and reinstall grub and update it. [10:29] Dr_Willis, but i start wine>Uninstall wine software it shows me tthat programs [10:29] I just came from Crunchbang to ubuntu netbook. I had 'multitouch' capability natively in crunchbang (specifically to do the two finger scroll), but can't seem to find the same support for ubuntu anywhere. I dont remember installing any packages to get this working in crunchbang. Anyone familiar with how to do this? [10:29] motz: the topic in #ubuntu+1 channel gave a url -> http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/natty/alpha1 [10:30] Dr_Willis, and list them in the add/remove programs window [10:30] hello [10:30] ajah: I tend to just purge my whole .wine dir every so often. :) i rarely fight with wine much. [10:31] ajah: i rarely even mess with th extra things in the wine 'menu' either. [10:31] Hmm. the menu -> wine -> uninstall wine software program even has a button to INSTALL apps from a cd... [10:32] that may work better for some people fighting with isntalling stuff from cd perhaps. [10:32] I have a problem with my Ubuntu 10.10, I just downloaded an update and after that, the screen will go to a console saying something about a batery power and firefox. I restart it and it was gone, while I was watching a You Tube video the black screen poped up again. I have to restart again and now im here. What should I do? [10:32] Dr_Willis: can you suggest any channel in particular for this issue? [10:32] aaron11: The error is very very important. [10:33] aaron11: It sounds like a graphics card problem to me [10:33] ohzie, There is no error. [10:33] Dr_Willis, what if I give a look at the logs? where do I find them? [10:33] aaron11: I don't know what the battery/firefox thing could possibly be [10:33] fakeer: Not really. I dont mess with windows7, so cant prove it did the damate. and i dont use that 'testdisk' app mentioned earlier. [10:33] ohzie, Or atleast no error message. But only after this update i have this problem [10:33] motz: all logs are normallin in /var/log/ and check out put of the 'dmesg' command [10:33] aaron11: what is your system [10:34] aaron11: can you do an lspci and an lshw and post them to a pastebin? [10:34] frostero: maybe you could give us a clue as what you are working with by: sudo lshw | pastebinit === Alcapun is now known as noobuntu [10:36] Continued question. I assume ubuntu generates it's xorg.conf using the files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, is that correct? [10:36] ohzie, my system is acer aspire 4736z [10:36] ohzie, the lspci, 1 sec [10:37] v3trae: X auto configures for the most part these days. not even generating a xorg.conf [10:37] v3trae: that file will only exist if you run propriatary video drivers or if you make custom mods to it [10:37] ohzie, http://paste.ubuntu.com/560167/ [10:37] Dr_Willis: well if one needed to make a manual change to the xorg configuration i'd imagine it would be done in these files [10:37] I actually think that's the worst feature ever [10:37] Dr_Willis: suppose that's what i'm asking. I apologize [10:37] I went to modify my xorg for my nvidia drivers and was like "Wait what" [10:37] "where is it" [10:37] and I freaked out and thought I'd done someting immensely stupid [10:38] something** [10:38] my nvidia systems have a minimal xorg.conf that basically enables twinview. [10:38] I mean I love that xorg has advanced far enough to autoconfigure so well, but like...it could autogenerate an xorg conf. :P [10:39] ohzie: thats sort of self-defeating. [10:39] xorg.conf overrides the auto-configring last i checked. [10:39] Dr_Willis: It does [10:40] ohzie, Did u get the link? [10:40] aaron11: what link [10:40] v3trae: if i need to make a change. you can put specific entries in a rather minimal xorg.conf file and they get merged/used i belive is how its donw. [10:40] -it-doc [10:40] Dr_Willis, [EE] open /dev/fb0 no such file or directoty [10:40] ohzie, :-| u wanted the lspci. [10:40] ohzie, http://paste.ubuntu.com/560167/ [10:41] Dr_Willis, could this be the problem? [10:41] motz: fb0 is the framebuffer. which is not even used by default on ubuntu last i checked. [10:41] aaron11: TY. Sorry if I overlooked it, I usually only notice lines with hilight on them unless I'm paying a lot of attention. [10:41] motz: Joseph? [10:41] motz: so i doubt thats the issue.. unless its a very weird driver/plymouth issue. [10:41] hey guys. my tomboy notes won't open with alt-f12 using gnome on netbook remix, 10.10 [10:41] Dr_Willis: you're referring to creating an xorg.conf file in /etc/? [10:41] anyonne know why the shortcut would be unresponsive? [10:42] v3trae: my nvidia systems have a xorg.conf in /etc/ yes. [10:42] ohzie, no, sorry, I'm not Joseph [10:42] Dr_Willis: understood. Thank you [10:42] motz: Thanks. =) [10:42] Dr_Willis, is there a way to check the settings of the xorg auto-config ? [10:42] edwardteach: never really looked into it. [10:42] Dr_Willis, could it make sense to try with another distro? [10:43] motz: May as well try.. dosent hurt to try. [10:43] motz: tinuy core linux = 10mb download = good to 'test' things with. [10:43] I'm having some "problems" with my external harddrives.. in win there was no problem.. Filesystem is FAT32 + NTFS.. both transfer REALLY SLOW in ubuntu.. both to and from the harddrive.. any ideas??? Shoudent NTFS be fine ?? [10:44] motz: your system is a 'brand new just relased' laptop correct? it may be many disrtos may have simile rissuesd with it. [10:44] hello, having a tought time trying to connect to my Ubuntu 10.10 machine from WindowsXP in my home network. No problem the other way around [10:44] vooze: NTFS is a different filesystem than the one used by Ubutnu so there is a conversion toll.

[10:45] its like 8 hours for 25GB :( [10:45] calvin: ubuntu 10.10 doesn't have an xorg.conf file by default. :3 [10:45] Vooze: this should only apply for copying files [10:45] calvin: Hence the question. [10:46] it just uses default vesa [10:46] vooze: just accessing files shouldn't be as much of a problem [10:46] calvin: if I have an nvidia card it won't default to the 'nv' driver? [10:46] ohzie: the x log files can tell you that. [10:46] ohzie: I think sudo lshw will display what driver each device is using and if they use any at all [10:46] yeah okay, that was what i was afraid off.. I use the external harddrive for mediacenter.. = i copy files ALOT :( [10:47] Dr_Willis, so it's a mistake to buy a brand new laptop if you want to install linux on it? [10:47] ohzie: noveau is the way to go imo [10:47] $ grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:47] motz: it pays to research your hardware.

[10:48] motz: the next release may fix any issues you have. [10:48] aaron11: run that command, "grep Driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log" that Dr_Willis mentioned. [10:49] vooze: then it shouldn't be as much of a problem as long as you aren't copying the content from the external HD to your linux filesystem before playing movies [10:49] anyone here know about proftpd? [10:49] minixking: i know it has docs :) and guides out... [10:49] calvin: what is noveau? [10:49] Dr_Willis, are you telling me I have to let the computer blank for about two months and wait?

I dont even recall your original issue any more. [10:50] icefyre: i dont.. but i download files on my linux system, and then transfer to external HD [10:50] edwardteach, via LAN [10:50] ohzie: the open rev. eng nvidia driver [10:50] has experimental 3d support [10:50] calvin: That's cool [10:50] edwardteach, I have Samba running on my ubuntu machine and normal network services on my XP [10:51] motz: just be aware that 11.04 is in 'alpha testing' so may have lots of other issues. You may also want to check the ubuntu forums for your exact laptop make/model.

After checking that my system has enough space, plugged to the el network and connected to internet I get to the place where I should be partitioning my disk and there is where the problem comes since I cannot do anything. Any tip? [11:08] splashote: you should have a line in /etc/apt/source.list like: deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian lucid contrib [11:08] sariolakys_: what os was on the 'new' machine in the first place? [11:08] BelkinUSB, sounds like a permission problem ! have you edited the samba.conf file to allow access from remote client [11:09] there is a Windows 7 on it. System had 2 partitions of 500GB each [11:10] sacarlson: but i'm using maverik and this is how it looks like: deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian maverick contrib [11:10] sacarlson: so it's ok, isn't it? === mj is now known as Guest74386 [11:10] I'd like to move to the left and enlarge my /home partition using GParted. I obtained 3 times: "Input/output error while reading from /dev/sda." (http://paste.pocoo.org/show/329102/). But the sector number was different each time. -- How to proceed? [11:10] sariolakys_: i would double check that. (via sudo fdisk -l, from the live cd) - My Win7 box i got at xmas. had 4 Primary partitions.. this made it impoxxible to install ubuntu onto. Untill i did some hd-rearangeing. [11:11] in the allocate/partitioning screen I see a table where I guess I should have my current partitions, labels, etc but that table is completely empty [11:11] bullgard4: please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [11:11] sariolakys_: You could resize (from within windows7) one of the HD's leaving part of the hd Unallocated. and tell the installer to use the unallocaed space.

[11:15] hmmm nice Dr_willis, I think I might be suffering from the same problem, yes, my HD was partitioned in 4 primary parts, so I have tried resizing from the live CD using Gtparted, removing one of the primary partitions and creating an extended there leaving some space unassigned. My problem is that it looks like the installer does not ask for any question regarding the partitioning I want, it is just showing that empty table by default. I th [11:15] ink it should be asking if I want to manually edit the partitions, use the entire disk, etc, right? [11:15] I have an elonex webbook [11:15] Netbook [11:15] and I need to edit xorg.conf [11:15] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560172 [11:15] but I need to do it before I install ubuntu [11:15] how do I edit files on my USB stick [11:15] want a corded keyboard and mouse, not too expensive are the logitech k300 and M500 a good choice [11:15] sariolakys_: i tend to use a gparted live cd. set up the partitions how i want, and tell the uubnut insatller to mount the partions where i want.

[11:19] my problem is that I cannot tell the installer where I want the things to be because it does not show anything. I can see my partitions and their file system using GParted, but I see nothing in the installer. The only thing it says at the bottom is that my deviced for boat loader installation would be /dev/sda but in the table above it the table where I should see device, type, mounting point, etc is completely empty and the buttons below [11:19] it (new partitioning table, add..., edit...,etc) are all inactive [11:19] hi how can I install my need for speed cd?

[11:37] rumpe1, when doing "sudo vim /proc/sys/kernel/pref_counter_paranoid" and enter a 2 it won't let me save [11:37] every kernel update reruns update-grub that reads that config.. that setting makes it the 'default' for all new kernels also.

When I installed nano from apt-get and edited the nanorc file nothin happened.

Into gconf? [12:14] Can someone help me dual boot Wubi into Windows XP? I need some help with partitioning. [12:14] sie its the gui app in your menus [12:14] ...

[12:19] Anyone know any decent USB Camera Security programs for 10.10 Desktop? [12:19] What do you mean by that? [12:19] sie, System->Preferences->Startup Applications add [12:19] sss: yeah? so run Wubi and have it make a container, no need to reformat [12:19] azlobo0 you shouldl get rid of windows entirely :) [12:19] sie, menus at the top pannel [12:19] edwardteach, tnx [12:19] panel [12:19] I'm wanting to setup a web based camera surveillance program that I can access from anywhere.

[12:20] Red Hat [12:20] jetboyjetgirl, none other [12:20] sss: have you booted into Windows? === unix is now known as Guest12893 [12:21] MrMintanet, zoneminder? [12:21] Ok, so ubuntu must be really popular [12:21] I take it Red Hat is running a distant 2nd [12:21] jestboyjetgirl, yes, its the most used linux distro at like 90 [12:21] zenithdk_-, I have windows xp already installed and I have used it , and now I want to install Ubuntu using the LiveCD [12:21] 90% the population [12:21] Mongy, did you just google that, or do you actually use the program? [12:21] 90% ? wow [12:21] so have you booted up on the Live CD into Ubuntu or are you in Windows? [12:22] jetboyjetgirl, 90% of linux users use ubuntu as far as I have read [12:22] MrMintanet, I searched in software centre, I forgot the name of it, Ive never used it but have seen a few guides about it.. it supposed to be good.. you wont know till you try it [12:22] is there a way to show the remaining hours when running on battery for Ubuntu 0buntu 10.04? [12:22] zenithdk_-, I am now using Ubuntu through the LiveCD and I want to install it [12:23] juetboyegirl, not saying 90% of the population uses linux [12:23] yeah I understand [12:23] 90% of linux users [12:23] yes [12:23] sss: I just wanted to know if you were running Ubuntu, or were in Windows, you are in Ubuntu, right [12:23] MrMintanet, http://www.howtoforge.com/video_surveillance_zoneminder_ubuntu [12:23] I asked because the ubuntu channels are so packed copared to other channels [12:23] so for the partitioning, have it create a 40GB partition for Ubuntu [12:23] zenithdk_-, Right now I am chatting with you using Ubuntu [12:24] jetboyjeygirl, there is a lot you can do with ubuntu, if I showed you my desktop you would be blown away [12:24] so it just needs to resize your existing partition, which version of Ubuntu are you running? I thought newer installers assumed this by themselves [12:24] hi all [12:24] zenithdk_-, 10.10. I don't have an option to automatically install alongside current OS [12:25] I think if you run Wubi from Windows it should ask you that, to resize your existing partition [12:25] I bet gunndawg, I'm really impressed so far... it's too bad it took me this long the check linux out. [12:25] i'm not able to login to gnome after upgrade to 10.10 [12:25] sss: ok, then just shrink your existing partition [12:25] jetboyjetgirl, enjoy the experience :) [12:25] I'm running windows 7/ ubuntu 10.10 and 90% of the time I've been using ubuntu now [12:25] zenithdk_-, I am not using Wubi! I am using the LiveCD [12:25] sss, during th e live cd installer partitioning options... there should be an options "slider" to set the size for the ubuntu installation next to your other OS [12:26] !panel [12:26] jetboyjetgirl: this channel is technical support, /join #ubuntu-offtopic for social chat [12:26] gunndawg: where did you read 90%? [12:26] jetboyjetgirl, I ran win7 and linux for a while then I got rid of win7 entirely to give my linux system more HDD space :) [12:26] rigth, but you mentioned Wubi at the start :P I think if you boot into Windows Wubi or something like it can be run from Windows to start the install also [12:26] gunndawg: i very much doubt that [12:26] ok oCean, thanks [12:26] !panels [12:26] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:26] gunndawg, #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat please [12:26] i'm using linux since 2.2 kernel and this is the weirdest thing ever seen [12:26] but regardless, can you make out how to configure it to resize the partition? [12:26] jetbluejetgirl, I am no longer able to talk to you due to chat room rules [12:27] how can i check if my server is 32 or 64bit? [12:27] from the terminal [12:27] i can't believe that in 2011 "linux" have this problems again [12:27] i typed in --mount in terminal and it gave a bunch of option... i am trying to mount my cdrom..what's next? [12:27] zenithdk_-, I am using already 4 prime partitions, I think, Can I add another partition? [12:27] nvm, got it [12:27] anybody famaliar with manually adding a entry to the arp cache? I can add the entry I need but I'm not sure if it's right the very beginning as a ? [12:27] gunndawg, you can, just /join #ubuntu-offtopic [12:27] Have anyone faced the strange issue with language switching: sometimes when you begin to type it automatically starts to change language after every typed symbol? [12:27] aaaarh, that is another issue, you can only have 4 primary partitions, you need to make an "extended" partition if I remember correctly [12:28] i need to complain with some official ubuntu people [12:28] I'm running 10.10 [12:28] sss: 4 primaries Max. One can be a Extended that holds logicals. [12:28] barbadillo, about what [12:28] zenithdk_-, I heared I need to make an extended partition, but I have no idea how to [12:28] bazhang, about i'm not able to login via gdm anymore [12:28] sss: if you have 4 primaries.. you will need to delete one. and remake it as an extended. [12:28] Is it not possible installing Nvidia Optimus driver? [12:29] i can login in tty [12:29] sss you can extend partition using gparted [12:29] im trying to mount my cdrom..typed in in terminal --mount /dev/cdrom and it gave me options..what to do next? [12:29] what do you have on the other partitions? [12:29] Dr_Willis, Imy sda2 is my window's D: drive and I don't use it so I don't mind deleting it [12:29] sss: do it using a live cd. get gparted on a live disk [12:29] jipsy: You need to give it more options.. :) thats not a complete command. [12:29] barbadillo: what happens when you try to login via gdm ? === AbhiJit is now known as AbhijiT [12:30] jipsy: mount /dev/cdrom /mounttarget [12:30] !mount [12:30] mount is used to attach devices to directories.

I'd like to use them. [12:30] checking. [12:30] I got this error when start ktorrent on kubuntu. What does it mean and how to solve it? - "KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work" [12:30] blank screen adnd then login screen again [12:30] bullgard4: look at the start/end cylinders, they are all allocated [12:30] solar_: since its a warning. I wouldent think that would stop ktorrent from working. [12:31] codingenesis, I am using the LiceCD and I have GParted, but I think I can also do without making an extended partition but overwriteing an existing one [12:31] bullgard4: are you logging into gnome session? [12:31] ikonia, i googled for it, it seems a bug but no one is caring [12:31] barbadillo: has it ever worked ? [12:31] does anyone know how to re-add the "status" applet to the panel? I cannot change my status anymore, I think it crashed and went AWOL [12:31] barbadillo: if you stop the gdm service, then login as a user at the console. does 'startx' work? [12:31] bullgard4: oh sorry for mistyping [12:31] How many partitions do I need for Ubuntu? [12:31] Dr_Willis, yes it works [12:31] barbadillo: show me the bug report for it [12:31] sss: at a min, 2 , one for / and one for swap. [12:31] sss: conerting that primary to an extended. and putting 2 logicals in it.. should work. [12:32] Dr_Willis, Should I use GParted? [12:32] when copying files in nautilus... if there's an i/o read error caused by a bad sector/bad read, will it retry those sectors, or what will happen? [12:32] how can i disable cpufreq at startup? im keeping this loading cpufreq modules failed all the time. [12:32] sss, overwriting may some time hamper ur installed ubuntu [12:32] barbadillo: last i saw gdm login issues.. it was the ownership of the .dmrc file that messed things up. [12:32] so its better to resize it. [12:32] sss: you can. [12:32] hi, i cannot update my computer, reposities problem i think. i played with is yesterday.. when i try to open Synaptic Pagkage Manager ` it gives this error and close [12:32] ikonia: Between sda6 and sda7 3631 through 6267 are not allocated. [12:32] Dr_Willis: hard disk space is a common one, if it's 100 full and can't write to it [12:33] do any one here can tell me about coverting linux binaries into win?? [12:33] barbadillo: as a second test. try making a new user and se eif it works for them. [12:33] Dr_Willis, my .dmrc is ok [12:33] bullgard4: but they are logical so they are contained in /dev/sda2 so "allocated" [12:33] codingenesis: short answer.. you dont? :) there are linux's that can run inside windows at the same time. [12:33] Dr_Willis, also if i try with root it's the same [12:33] barbadillo: root won't let you login, so that's not a bug [12:33] barbadillo: try making a new user. [12:33] ikonia, i can't find it anymore but i saw it on bugs.launchpad [12:34] barbadillo: ok, so best not to reference something you can't find [12:34] Dr_Willis, If I convert my unused partition to an extended partition and then put in it two logical partitions for Ubuntu -- the next time I boot into windows will it know not to use that partition? [12:34] i know it's not possible .....but still my heart says some where it is possible [12:34] codingenesis: take a look at cygwin [12:34] sss: windows will ignore the partitions.. worst case.. if you try to access them from windows. it may ask to format them. [12:35] cygwin just does for limited application...... [12:35] Hello, my Ubuntu crashed and I am unable to get it running again; upon selecting it at startup, it says that it cannot find wubildr (I used the windows ubuntu installer). Yet, wubildr exists in the C:\ubuntu\ folder (or one of its subfolders); why is it not working? Because it crashed, I lost two of my physics lab assignments, and would really like an alternative to reoing them [12:35] codingenesis: it's not possible, and it's offtopic for this channel [12:35] redoing* [12:35] codingenesis: y. well the rest you have to port by hand [12:35] Dr_Willis, the same with a brand new user [12:35] codingenesis: andlinux (anlinux?) runs ubuntu inside a virtal machine. you just see the Linux apps appear as windows apps :) [12:35] barbadillo: what version of ubuntu is this ? [12:35] Dr_Willis, I think I will first delete the unused partition (which is D: of Windows) and then check what will windows do when I boot to it [12:36] sss: if d: is not a boot partion.. then wdnows wont care. :) [12:36] ikonia, 10.10 [12:36] is cygwin able to run all the Dr Willis , whats the name of that linux? [12:36] since you are not booting it.. [12:36] Dr_Willis, it isn't, so I will try it [12:36] ikonia: I admit that thery are within /dev/sda2. But: This is not important. /dev/sda6 is also there. Still, I manged to move it. [12:36] it happens just after the upgrade [12:36] bullgard4: it is important, if you look at how the free space is laid out [12:36] codingenesis: cygwin is 'weird' in ways.. there are ways to run ubuntu/linux in virtual machines. I used andlinux, or anlinux in the past. but there may be other ways [12:37] codingenesis: or just use virtualbox and the disto you like. [12:37] Dr_Willis, Thank you, I'll try deleting it. Bye! [12:38] ikonia: /dev/sda2 allwed me to move partition sda6. So it should allow me to move the partition sda7 likewise. [12:38] does anyone know how to re-add the status / presence applet to the panel? I cannot change my status anymore, I think it crashed and went AWOL [12:38] !resetpanel | zenithdk_- [12:38] zenithdk_-: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [12:38] ikonia, if you google for "gdm login loop 10.10" you will find many people with this problem but no solutions at all [12:39] bullgard4: I disagree due to how the space is laid out. It may not hurt to re-read the partition table if you have done resizing so gparted knows it's current status [12:39] !resetkde [12:39] barbadillo: google is not a bug report [12:39] No one knows what will happen if, when copying files in nautilus, there's an i/o read error caused by a bad sector/bad read? Will it retry those sectors, or what? [12:39] barbadillo: if you google "gdm working fine" you'll find many more people with no problem, so it's not a good reference [12:39] tehbaut: i think it tries for a few times.. but then gives up and spits out an error. [12:39] Dr_Willis: cheers, that worked, thanks! [12:40] Sup? [12:40] Dr_Willis: ok, so if there's no error, then I should expect files are copied successfully? [12:40] zenithdk_-: yea. the panel can get a bit confused.. [12:40] ikonia: The output of '~$ sudo fdisk -l' which I pasted is the current state. No upgrading needed. [12:40] it's getting stuck on some possible bad blocks, but it's been picking up again after getting stuck a while [12:40] tehbaut: in theory yes. If you want to be extra-paranoid about it. You may want to use rsync, or fsarchiver, or some other copy tools that can verify [12:41] hmmm, ok [12:41] hi [12:41] bbl [12:41] bullgard4: again, I disagree as gparted things there is no space free or none-readable. If you want advice, follow it, if you want to ignore it and argue it, good luck [12:41] wait, nope... I got my first error here [12:41] may try rsync later [12:42] ive got an ubuntu 10.10 server with egroupware 1.8 running. i want to install a simple mail server to work together with egroupware. so i dont need anything like send/recieve mails from other domains, only connections from localhost=egroupware [12:42] ikonia: Thank you for advising. [12:43] Hello, my Ubuntu crashed while I was running minecraft beta 1.2_02 and I am unable to get it running again; upon selecting it at startup, it says that it cannot find wubildr (I used the windows ubuntu installer).

I am not familiar enough with that particular driver to help === dgathright_ is now known as dgathright [13:03] ikonia, it's ok i get to my marco desktop [13:03] d3afNdumb: well you can try to recreate the breakage and you can try to get a better description than "broke" [13:04] ikonia, it's just a gdm issue [13:04] jrib: it's about the known bug from lucid *mom* [13:04] yes, coz_ [13:04] barbadillo: how did you swap to single user mode ?

[13:04] mom = moment [13:04] coz_, OK and thanks [13:05] ikonia, i rebooted and entered recovery mode [13:05] icoanisko, mm did you try the #alsa and #pulseaudio channels?? [13:05] barbadillo: then what ? [13:05] wait a second i try to find the exact descr, thanks bazhang ;-) [13:05] ikonia, the root password for maintenance, su marco and startx [13:05] barbadillo: ok, that's not a good test, you need to "su - marco" not "su marco" [13:06] Is there a way to get Conky to display logs via SSH? [13:06] As in, I have logs on an SFTP share I want to "tail.' [13:06] aLemmer: you could use sshfs...

[13:10] bazhang, if incase of a break, it moves the files to failed, and i gotta start a fresh transfer [13:10] barbadillo: is there anything in the gdm log ? [13:10] Tetracomm: by typing its name (if its the same as the executable) [13:11] when copying files in nautilus, if I say "skip all" to i/o errors on files that span bad sectors, is there an output of all files with errors kept somewhere? [13:11] aeon-ltd: That didn't work. Let me try another case. It still doesn't work. [13:11] Tetracomm: no [13:11] oops [13:11] tehbaut: no [13:11] ikonia, nothing serious in /var/log/gdm/ [13:12] Tetracomm: look in /usr/bin for its actual name [13:12] barbadillo: I wonder if it's pam....rather than gdm [13:12] hi [13:12] maybe I should try using rsync, but I don't see any options in the rsync manpage to blatantly skip files without retrying when bad sectors are reached... [13:12] anyone know if that's possible? [13:13] is there an _easy_ way to do UDP port forwrading on an ubuntu box.

I was looking at my arp table and it has a ? in front of the host [13:35] bazhang: hm? [13:35] theadmin, how to kill the boot splash? [13:35] securityxxxpert_: arp will have nothing to do with your dns or gateway [13:36] securityxxxpert_: look at what your dns servers are set to and what your default gateway [13:36] ikonia: location? [13:36] bazhang: I added nosplash noquiet and instead of black scrolling text, after a moment I see the blue background + white dots "Kubuntu" splash thing (it is still in text mode, you can see some boot messages there occassionally and a text cursor) [13:36] A_J: Yeah, but the newmode line goes first. [13:36] Anyone know of a Gmail Notifier that is not a screenlet? [13:36] securityxxxpert_: /etc/resov.conf for your dns servers, netstat -rn for your default gateway [13:36] k [13:36] so like this ? [13:36] xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync [13:36] xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1280x1024_60.00" [13:37] A_J: You should try gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [13:37] A_J: Then, in that file, there should be a section that starts with #Add your own lines here... [13:37] ikonia: the gateway matches with the other config file you mentioned [13:37] A_J: Put the newmode line right under that and the addmode line under the newmode line. [13:38] A_J: Then, save. [13:38] securityxxxpert_: so that means your gateway device is also acting as your dns server, is that what you'd expect ? [13:38] A_J: Yeah, that's right.

[13:40] 192.168.1.77 [13:40] I can get a ip, but no web connectivity [13:40] securityxxxpert_: because you have no DNS or gateway.....

[13:43] securityxxxpert_: look at what dns servers the working machines are using and what gateway address they are using [13:43] securityxxxpert_: Can it be that the 192.168.1.1 is your actual gateway? [13:43] You should try gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc <-- Som1 help me edit this [13:43] theadmin, you dont want to uninstall plymouth [13:43] ikonia: they are using 192.168.1.254 [13:43] I checked htem all [13:43] How can I use cryptsetup (and mountall) but kill the Plymouth (because it shows stupid animations instead of the normal black screen!!)

[15:38] magicblaze007: but you don't need a firewall unless you want different parts of a network to have access to different things, for no access just turn the listen port off and close the app behind it [15:38] erUSUL: it's not in there, but it's still redirecting! this is weird..., how could this be [15:38] ComradeHaz`: I do recomend reading up on it and instead ask spesific questions when you run into issues.

[15:40] ;) [15:40] magicblaze007, So this computer is a web server and an ssh server? [15:40] kane77: see if gpg has means to be passed a password in a script [15:40] magicblaze007, That's the point of a firewall, you can do this with ufw or firestarter [15:40] Dr_Willis: how do i see what services are installed?

[15:40] magicblaze007: what ones have you installed.. by default theres basically none. [15:40] magicblaze007, to install ssh: sudo apt-get install openssh-server to install web server: sudo apt-get install apache [15:41] why use $frontend for 4, maybe 5 iptables rules? [15:41] MasterOfDisaster, for ease of use [15:41] edbian: hehe, good one :) [15:42] magicblaze, just deny access to all services in hosts.deny and allow whatever needed [15:42] if yore behind a nat bothering with ip lvl security might be overkill [15:42] hi.. any one used gnuddrescue ? [15:42] magicblaze007, Or just don't even set up the firewall ;) [15:42] magicblaze007: you can see what listening with sudo netstat -pant will show you a list if any [15:43] though a few iptables rules are very powerful [15:43] how do I find the type of a file?

I've been reading threads about flushing the DNS cache in Ubuntu, and the consensus is that by default, Ubuntu does not keep a DNS cache. I don't understand this, because Chrome, Firefox, and the `dig` command-line tool all seem to use the same DNS cache. I'm still trying to figure out how to flush the cache used by `dig`. Can anyone help? [15:50] erUSUL: thanks <3 [15:50] xrdodrx: correct; that's what you wanted. now you can create new partitions as you see fit [15:50] what is the difference between linuxhosting and windows hosting? [15:50] theadmin: you want to run somthing befor the user logs in. can be done in rc.local. but as for that ASKING for any user input.. that might be harder. [15:51] linelevel: dig doesn't cache... [15:51] erUSUL» ok, thanks...yeah, I'm on a netbook so it takes a long time to format usually so I want to make sure I choose the right thing to avoid having to do it twice [15:51] newbie112: 2 different operating systems? [15:51] linelevel, I can help. When you dig it lists the server it got the result from (closest zone of course) if it lists 127.0.0.1 it was cached otherwise it was not cached on your machine [15:51] linelevel: well I use bind9 on my local system and I think that keeps a cache [15:51] newbie112: well, in the one case its linux running on the server, in the other case its windows... [15:51] Dr_Willis: yeah, I see that f****** pymount c***** gets in the way of doing so [15:52] yes, but is there any difference website owner? [15:52] difference for website owner* [15:52] newbie112: itś just a matter oof preference [15:52] masterOfDisaster: When I run `dig mydomain.com` it gives the old info, when I run `dig @my-domains-nameserver mydomain.com` it gives the new DNS info. So it must be cached, no? [15:52] newbie112: usually not [15:53] then why the 2 exists? which is more preferrable? [15:53] what's the best way of searching ls results? just standard piping to grep [15:53] linelevel, cached yes but where is the question. Look at the server line in the output of dig. Pastebin both and I can maybe explain better [15:53] newbie112: ;D linux hosting ftw [15:53] ? [15:53] ftw? [15:53] theadmin: actually rc.local and other services can be running at the same time.. so they can cause clutter on the screen. [15:53] for the win [15:53] theadmin: but rc.local SHOULD in theory be the last service going.. but GDM may start up and be running befor rc.local is even finished. [15:53] newbie112: why do windows and linux exist in the first hand? why do people use windows as a desktop operating system? [15:53] but you shouldn expect to receive a different answer in this channel, newbie112 :p [15:54] linelevel: that's due to the time you have setup for your dns to expire, so if you try at the last dns server from your isp then it won't look it up again till the ttl has expired [15:54] which is the curtial thing which I should look while buying hosting space? [15:54] Switch: what are you trying to do? explain in english, probably you want find and not parsing ls output [15:54] GaLaXY_, :D [15:54] erUSUL: yeah probably [15:54] edbian: MasterOfDisaster: d'oh, you guys are right. It's being cached upstream at my DNS server. I'm using one of Google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8), so I don't think there's anything I can do about that. [15:54] Dr_Willis: I need to ask user the password, before mounting most of filesystems, before GDM; it should be in text mode (bash script with read option) [15:54] erUSUL: what's wrong with grepping ls -R anyway? [15:55] linelevel: linelevel hehe :D [15:55] linelevel, The change will propogate in less than 24 hours (I don't like DNS, I think it's a very broken system) [15:55] theadmin: i would disable the gdm service then, and then launch it from rc.local after the user puts in their info. [15:55] Switch: depends on what you will do what the output. if you are only loooking at it there is nothing wrong [15:55] linelevel: you can if you can change the ttl at your dns pointed to by your registry [15:55] erUSUL: okay, thank you [15:56] when i open system>about ubuntu, it says i am using 11.04 ... why is that?? [15:57] sacarlson: That's a great idea. [15:57] amalgama: is a bug [15:57] amalgama: what does « lsb_release -a » says? [15:57] one might use nscd as caching daemon though [15:58] when i do sudo apt-get install ipodslave i get error that there is no DIRECTORY [15:58] hi [15:59] ipodslave is not listed on synaptic manager [15:59] !find ipodslave [15:59] Package/file ipodslave does not exist in maverick === eXistZ|Away is now known as eXistZ [16:00] how can install ipodslave??

That tells the system ipodslave is a directory [16:01] I am typing sudo apt-get install ipodslave [16:01] rats_, cite your sources! [16:02] induz, mmm, well in any event that's not in the repos. I suggest you use something that is. Look in the Ubuntu software Center [16:02] something weird just happened to my PC. Last dmesg is: "nvidia 0000:01:00.0: putting AGP V2 device into 4x mode" [16:02] it says Couldn't find package ipodslave [16:02] you might just consider building it from source, as it isnt in the ubuntu repos [16:02] induz: it seems that it was in old versions of ubuntu ( hardy ) now it is not. that seems to indicate that is obsolete. [16:02] sry that was a irssi FU-glitch [16:02] can anyone recommend an article on installing/setting up mysql..it won't be used with a web server, I just want the database with a gui for querying [16:03] I read that Linux doesn't use file extensions to determine the type of the file, what about Ubuntu?

[16:04] How Ubuntu knows what's the type of the file? [16:04] ericJinOhio: I've never setup mysql without apache2 but it should work, they have a gtk or some kind of gui app for it also [16:04] I am looking something like http://www.imacsoft.com/ipod-to-mac-transfer.html [16:04] sss the 'file' command [16:04] sss: it uses a magicfile db. « man file » has more details [16:04] sss: for example, you can guess a file is a zip by its content, but since an openoffice file is also a renamed zip, if its extension is .odt it'll recognize it as OpenOffice document [16:04] !ipod | induz [16:04] induz: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [16:05] sacarlson: Yeah, most of the good articles are for apache setup..dont want to install stuff i dont need [16:05] they all talk about IPod touch 3 or 4 th gen ....

[16:06] induz, you did get the plugins, right? [16:06] ericJinOhio: simple as apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client mysql-admin might work [16:06] induz, what exact errors are you getting? [16:07] induz, my 1st gen works fine with gtkpod [16:07] induz, with rhythmbox as well [16:07] Hi, I just tried to download some software from the msdn academie alliance portal (software for students). The problem is the following: to download the software you have to execute an .exe file, however I don't think ubuntu can do this (or at least I have the right application installed). How could I make this work? [16:07] but It asks me to a seperate repo for iPod Touch as by mistake i plugged in my OLd iPOd not the touch,,,, iPOd got recognised, but i dont know what to do next [16:07] ChesterX, whats the software [16:08] induz, drag and drop? [16:08] bazhang, I have 8 Gb 1st gen black iPod Touch [16:08] sacarlson: eh..gonna go for it. Can you recommend a gui for mysql?

[16:09] ericJinOhio: that included the gui mysql-admin but I think there are others you can try, they can all be installed at the same time try them and find out what you like [16:10] how do i add users to the sudoers? [16:10] Chalkie: visudo [16:10] my menu has too much stuff in it and I want to edit the menu settings but there's no-where for me to right click [16:10] because it is too full of panel apps there is no-were to click [16:10] ¿How can I change the tty background color?

WALLPAPER="/usr/share/images/desktop-base/moreblue-orbit-grub.png" [16:27] Gigabyte: restrictions on? [16:27] sacarlson: yup. [16:27] Hi all, where can i get some cool ubuntu themes from? [16:28] Gringo, gnome-look.org [16:28] I want to run a home server, and I'm considering Ubuntu, I have several questions.... [16:28] c2tarun: to what this? WALLPAPER="/usr/share/images/desktop-base/splash3.png" [16:28] thank you [16:28] I want to use ZFS, I understand in principle what it is [16:28] anyone know of a tcss codec alternative ? [16:28] I want a remote GUI, so should I be installing Ubuntu server, or just normal Ubuntu? [16:28] i have problem with ubuntu 10.10 connecting to wep open wifi [16:28] Can I dynamically expand ZFS once it's set up? [16:28] sacarlson: ya i downloaded a splash image and pasted it on the location, then i modified this line. [16:29] Halkus, what kind of remote GUI? [16:29] Just something so I can set up downloads to the server - an FTP client [16:29] At the moment I use Windows Home Server, but I have a failing hard drive so now is a good time to switch away [16:29] c2tarun: ls -l /usr/share/images/desktop-base/splash3.png ? [16:30] I remote connect to the WHS box and run downloads from it, so that the PC I use can sleep [16:30] i have enabled remote desktop and when i try and connect via vnc it doesnt connect it just hangs, the ports are open, have i done something wrong? [16:30] Hi --- I am attempting to install Windows 7 minimal install on a Sony Vaio laptop using an USB drive. I found a step by step guidde for doing this on the MsDN forums but I had one question. The blog says to access the gnome partition manager thru the Ubuntu Live installation disc. Can I use the Gparted application from the Ubuntu desktop to do thhe partion or is there some reason to use the one wwith the Live CD? I am not real Lin [16:30] son is taking [16:30] i want to allow 10 ports to redirect at some specific ports and then i want to enable all the port like firewall is stopped ? anybody has any idea how to do that ? [16:31] The server is always on, this PC I'm using now is only on while I'm using it, so things like downloading are best done on the server [16:31] bethdo97,m the live cd might be better, since you cant work on drives you've booted from [16:31] download the gparted cd [16:31] bethdo97: you need to use the live cd because you can't resize a mounted partition [16:32] As root, how may I change the default window manager of another user? [16:32] cole: you can edit their .dmrc [16:33] bethdo97, well, you should better do all partition stuff from a LiveCD session, so the disks aren't mounted [16:33] compdoc: ok I wasn't sure, I must say I have always been a DOS - Windows computer person but Ubuntu has impressed me enough too want to put it onto my laptop to play around with as well. [16:33] thanks. [16:33] Thanks all [16:34] hi, just installed ubuntu but what's the root passwd ? it didn't ask me for one [16:34] joshb: there is none [16:34] joshb, use sudo [16:34] joshb: use sudo su - [16:34] hmm, ok [16:34] ah [16:34] ok thx [16:34] err.. 'sudo -i' is sufficient.. [16:34] MasterOfDisaster, please dont recommend that [16:34] Hello [16:34] no need to do 'sudo su' [16:34] MasterOfDisaster, incorrect! "sudo -i" is much better [16:35] Does Ubuntu give me an option during install to put ZFS on? [16:35] I've been using Ubuntu for a few months now and I love it [16:35] joshb: use sudo as needed.. theres no need for a root password. [16:35] ah yes, actually better [16:35] I recently updated to Natty Narwhal but now I'm getting an error message... [16:35] Halkus, there is no native ZFS driver on Linux yet [16:35] indeed [16:35] there's a red ! in the upper right corner that says that the repository may be out of date [16:35] ZykoticK9: does that mean I cannot use ZFS, or does that mean I do a normal install and then stick it on afterwards? [16:35] err, update information is out of date [16:35] Halkus, there is some beta fuse/gfs ZFS driver [16:35] brobo, what version [16:35] natty narwhal [16:36] brobo: so update the pacakge manager system. [16:36] brobo: is not supporter here #ubuntu+1 [16:36] brobo, #ubuntu+1 please [16:36] Halkus, i wouldn't consider ZFS for linux right now [16:36] ...oh, ZFS, not XFS [16:36] ok then [16:36] sorry :) [16:36] bazhang, ZykoticK9, Dr_Willis: sorry [16:36] how do you shut down this irc client without sshutting the window in case I needd to come back later or do I need to just close window and reopen if I need to latter? [16:36] hello, is only a fileowner allowed to change the modification time with touch ? [16:36] Not stable enough to use, is that why ZykoticK9 ? [16:36] bethdo97: what client are you using [16:36] bethdo97: err... just minimize the window? [16:37] ben_q: and root IIRC [16:37] send it to aother desktop :) [16:37] Halkus: no ZFS support in linux kernel due to licensing issues [16:37] ben_q: and everyone with +w [16:37] bethdo97, what client? XChat? [16:37] I am using qwebirc [16:37] Halkus, i've never personally tried it on linux - so you might want to give it a shot. Just don't expect it to be "stable" is all. Best of luck. [16:37] No, I won't use it if that's the case [16:37] MasterOfDisaster, I tried that with +w, but still get an error [16:38] jave based one linked from Ubuntu support page [16:38] i need the driver for my hp dv6000 laptop webcam ( i ran cheese it doesn't work ) anyone here familier with hp pavilon dv6000 [16:38] MasterOfDisaster, sudo su -c "touch -t 201101011730.42 file" www-data [16:38] afternoon all [16:38] Halkus: it would be great, though [16:38] I'm trying to get my webserver to change filetimes [16:38] Halkus, i might be incorrect. A quick search reveals http://zfsonlinux.org/ so maybe there is a native driver. [16:38] ben_q, su or sh?? [16:38] su [16:38] can you create a user that can READ root user's files but no write or remove permission ? [16:38] can I [16:39] was just for testing [16:39] ZykoticK9: i think a fuse one is in the works maybe [16:39] ZykoticK9: due to licensing it cant be in the kernel though [16:39] bethdo97: name of client please === dreamtraveler is now known as noobuntu [16:39] php's touch() gives the same error "operation not permitted" [16:39] bazhang, I dont want tethering [16:39] KiiK: normal linu file permissions can let users read files but not write to them,. [16:39] maco, that fuse one was my understanding. [16:39] !permissions | KiiK [16:39] KiiK: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [16:39] Do you have any suggestions of a file system I could use which has data resilience in it? RAID5/6 doesn't protect against bit rot etc [16:39] Halkus: ZykoticK9 more info on zfs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS [16:39] ben_q: -r--r---w- 1 root root 0 2011-01-30 17:39 foo <-- my user can touch foo... [16:39] oh, so `sudo su -c` and `sudo sh -c` do the same? funny :) [16:39] bazhang, ipheth-utils is alreday installed [16:39] oCean, thanks [16:39] touch alone works, but not with a time [16:40] funny enough =/ [16:40] bazhang, where should be the MOuntPoint or it doesnt matter [16:40] bazhang, Also, my particular Model is not listed on GTKpod [16:40] k4g6: I responded earlier to that qwebirc [16:41] bazhang, is there any way around the Model type? [16:41] can someone see anything wrong with this mount coomand ?"sudo mount -t iso9660 -0 loop ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso/mntpoint" I created th mntpoint directory. The error I'm getting is that the file name can not be found. [16:41] youngblood: yeah, you're missing a space... [16:41] Hmm, I'm going to leave ZFS alone if it's not very well established on Ubuntu, I don't want data loss [16:41] yondering, lowercase o, not zero [16:42] youngblood, you need a space between the iso and the mount point which must exist /mnt would work [16:42] cousteau`nbk: that too [16:42] thanks [16:42] bethdo97: sorry but i either suggest mizamizing, moving the window to another workspace or changing to xchat-irc client which can stay in the gnome tray [16:42] in the disk utility>smart data, what is the Powered On value ??

[16:43] oh [16:43] of course "sudo sh touch.." works as root [16:44] the filegroup is www-data and g+w is set [16:44] hmm [16:44] * hotrod is away: Gone away for now [16:44] still, touch works, touch -t not [16:44] I am trying to run a command _for_ specific time, is there something to do that? like run program X for 5 seconds and automatically terminate it. [16:44] Second question, this a newly installed 10.01 and i don't have internet access. I'm assuming that i can use the iso image to install network software. Is this the right assumption? [16:44] I need to do this preferably from a script. [16:44] enli: try #bash [16:44] enli: you can do that with sleep [16:44] i have installed ubuntu server 10,10. cant seem to find my soundcard.. im using ion and i did a aplay -l and i got aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found... [16:44] gogeta: I am attempting to install Windows 7 minimal install on a Sony Vaio laptop using an USB drive. I found a step by step guidde for doing this on the MsDN forums but I had one question.

I'm trying to use it from php, there is no sudo there.. I only used sudo to test the command as user www-data [16:45] enli: you can setup 2 crontab jobs one to run and one to kill [16:46] I just check the mount command on my other system, I do have a space before the /mntpoint. [16:46] sacarlson: sure, but i would prefer a single script if its possible : ) [16:46] ben_q: Ok, what does the timestamp you're using look like? [16:46] gogeta: sure, but that is not what I intend to do. [16:46] enli: or just have your script kill itself after cron starts it [16:46] in php, I tried touch() and exec("touch").. normal touch works, but as soon as I use a custom time, it doesn't [16:46] enli: you whatted a dely [16:46] Ok... questions about Ubuntu.... Can I remote GUI to it easily enough? [16:46] enli: there is the sleep command to wait a time then kill itself [16:46] geirha, already tried it with root, and the timestamp is ok.. YYYYMMddHHii.ss [16:47] can someone see anything wrong with this mount coomand ?"sudo mount -t iso9660 -0 loop ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso /mntpoint" I created th mntpoint directory. The error I'm getting is that the file name can not be found. [16:47] youngblood: cousteau`nbk also told you that '0' should be 'o'. If you still get the error, then the file doesn't exist in the directory you are in [16:47] just doesn't work from www-data =( [16:47] Haikus: yes you can.. very easy and a few different ways [16:47] my mainboard vendor is an idiot that can't put SATA hubs on mobo in a working way [16:47] bethdo97: windows 7 has a partation installer [16:47] how can I most easly change on small thing in kernel source and rebuild it?

[16:48] cousteau`nbk, USB [16:48] sacarlson, gogeta: can you possible do this from a script? e.g. launch some program say pidgin -> wait 10 seconds -> exit script. [16:48] geirha, I get "Operation not permitted" [16:48] enli: yes you can floow any command with sleep [16:48] Is Ubuntu any good at network shares? [16:49] oh, then I don't... maybe has something to do with udev [16:49] enli: eg sleep 10 exit [16:49] jrib, I do have an "o". the file is on a CD. How do i make that a part a path? [16:49] cousteau`nbk, i have to add utf8 option [16:49] enli: yes pidgin; sleep 10; exit 1; [16:49] youngblood: what you pasted has a '0', not an 'o' [16:49] gogeta: what doo you meann it has a partition installer? do u mean using Shift + F10 to get to thee disk part coommand screen [16:49] Ftp from commandline?

[16:50] marjlene, I'm sorry, I don't know... however you could unmount it and mount it again with the desired options [16:50] jrib, how do i do that if the file is on a CD? [16:51] induz: remove doesnt remove config [16:51] induz: per-user configs like that would be in your home directory [16:51] maco, i dont know what to do with config [16:51] youngblood: /folder1/folder2/whateveryourfileiscalled Probably /media/cdrom/. If you know how to get there from the gui, then use that to aid you [16:51] I tried doing it that way but the installer still claimed it couldn't fiind a volume to install on [16:51] cousteau`nbk, tried it already but seems it ignore every custom options i throw in [16:51] ben_q: Indeed, it only lets me change the timestamp if I own the file, write permission is not enough. [16:51] induz: if it has its own directory like ~/.gtkpod then delete it [16:52] ok geirha.. pity =( thanks anyway [16:52] bethdo97: you install from or to usb [16:52] Hmm, Samba is what I want to use to share files? [16:52] induz: otherwise, might need to run gconf-editor and dig through there to find its settings and remove them [16:52] maco, yes i am going to delet the .gtkpod folder too [16:53] ben_q: read the info pages (info coreutils 'touch invocation') [16:53] The Sound alert for new mail is not working on Thunderbird with 10.10 maverick... Any ideas anyone please? [16:53] marjlene, but don't extract it after unmounting, just use `umount` and `mount` [16:53] bethdo97: you probly gotta format whatever part you install 7 to [16:53] Should I take 10.4 or 10.10? It's going on a server up my loft, so I'm thinking the one with long term support... right? [16:54] marjlene, other than that, I don't know what else can be done, sorry [16:54] Halkus: if you want long term support, then take 10.04 [16:54] gogeta, sacarlson: thanks a lot.. i was missing "&" [16:54] Ubuntu 10.10 x64, for some reason random hard drives will lose their GTP table. It's only one drive at a time, but not the same drive each time and seems to be any random one on a RAId controller I have. Logs show no cause, these drives are in an LVM VG used as a datastore, no OS storage on them. Ideas? [16:55] Any reason not to go x64? [16:55] gogeta: or/?? I have tried to accomplish this from CD and USB to no avail. We put a new WD Scorpio blue 500 GB HD in the lap top I am trying to get set up for him. There was nothing installed on it when I started trying too do this. I have pulled my hair out foor over a week. I have learned a lot about a whole little but I am impressed with Ubuntu and plan to get it going on my laptop using WUBI aftere I get my sons computer wor [16:55] cousteau`nbk, don t be sorry, we have tried to find a solution [16:55] Halkus: Some software does not like x64, but most would be fine if you install ia32-libs. [16:55] I have 64 but have some problems with Flash. if you can not watch hulu because of this, try the Web browser Sea Monkey. It works [16:55] Halkus: Flash support sucks in x64 tough...

It would probably suffice to tell me how I find that information on any given linux system. [16:57] Halkus: some binary only drivers and such may not like it, but I run all x64 and flash is my only real problem. [16:57] jrib, after putting my cd in, i see no indication where it is located, How would i find out its location? [16:57] youngblood: check /media [16:57] bazhang, how can i update/upgrade GTKpod from .99 to 1.00 release on Lucid? [16:57] Thanks Gimpy - is there any way I can check in advance if my RAID card has drivers? [16:57] going back to CentOS 5.5 64 even though the kernel is ancient. Too many problems with ubuntu server 64 bit edition. [16:57] Halkus: run a Live CD session [16:57] gogeta: I moved to Ubuntu when I couldn't get any form of Vista to install on the new hard drive. Didn't have restore disks because son didn't know where they were and the old one was dead as a doornail when I started [16:57] I have sounds problems. I have been on UIbuntu for a while and my sound just doesnt work anymore. in sound preferences my hardware shows up but nothing in the input or out put tabs.. i have a ton of infomation and ground work pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560302/ . Could some one give me a hand?

[16:58] Halkus: Google to see if anyoine else is using it, and check the manufac site to see if they supply code...but they most likely only officially support RHEL. [16:58] no support as in ZERO none NULL zip [16:58] Halkus: not the -server install disk [16:58] bethdo97: humm gotta be a reasion its not seeing it [16:58] and it works like crap, is their a better alternative ? [16:58] maco, i have deleted the .gtkpod folder too [16:58] mneptok: LiveCD is not a garuntee though, I've seen cards seem ok in there and give problems and heavier usage. [16:58] card works :) [16:58] thx [16:58] hey how can i start apache and all that(i installed it) [16:59] bethdo97: I think you might have a problem partitioning the disk that you are booting from so you might still need the live cd or usb boot [16:59] sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [16:59] Gigabyte: it's started automatically by default [16:59] Gigabyte: it's started by default when you install it [16:59] Nothing on there for Ubuntu - http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/support/raid/sas_raid/sas-3805/ [16:59] Gigabyte: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart or start or stop [16:59] gogeta: The hard drive showed right up in BIOS after installing but then the problem became formatting it. Used WD tool but Win install didn't recognize the format done. I even dug out my old MS Dos 7.2 discs and tried to format the disc to no avail. [17:00] Halkus: Which Adaptec controller? [17:00] isn't it better to use `service foo` rather than `/etc/init.d/foo`? [17:00] bethdo97: maybe ubuntu can format it [17:00] 3805 [17:00] cousteau`nbk: much better. [17:00] Gigabyte: now if you installed lammp its in your opt dir [17:00] Ubuntu at least got me up and running again after staring at the no operating message or the c: prompt for days [17:00] lammp start [17:00] cousteau`nbk, "service" is the proper method. /etc/init.d is the pre-upstart (old) method [17:00] Gentlemen, 4c of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto Please could you explain lines 2 to 4, do you think?

[17:17] JT13: i would go with virtulising with exception for the games [17:17] JT13: or just find him games to play which run native [17:17] JT13: The large 3rd partition should be formatted how?

[18:03] yes [18:04] windows xp is detected fine [18:04] how do I setup my bash profile so that the files I write automatically belong to another group? [18:04] calum, my guess would be that the windows xp-install somehow screwed up the windows 7-boot, but I'll leave that to someone more knowledgeable about windows. :P [18:05] phpmagician, better have a look at acl [18:05] phibxr: So I probably need to get xp to recognise windows 7 in its boot manager?

[18:11] Ener, yes [18:11] I just ordered a new 6 core machine, can't wait to see how it performs on Ubuntu [18:11] Araxis: yeah learning about the command line and the things you can do from it is a good next step if your goal is to learn about Linux and Ubuntu. [18:11] Araxis: http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php then click on "Download it here". [18:11] I already did but when I do modprobe md it says there's o such module [18:11] Rypervenche: Thanks! I'll get on there right now [18:11] anyone know about "no init found"? [18:11] =x [18:12] Araxis: And read it from beginning to end. You can skip some chapters if they're too advanced or boring for you, but make sure to read it from start to finish. [18:12] Rypervenche: Definitely. [18:13] Rypervenche: Is it worth going through the courses @ linux.org? I already read the beginners course but there is still an intermediate and advanced [18:13] but thanks for the suggestion jordanm, appreciate any help I can get [18:13] how do i know if i have a nt4 style connection or a kerberos (or do they both apply)?? [18:14] Araxis: I have never used them, so I don't know. [18:14] andreas_: md includes more than one module. just perform your raid operations. its smart enough to autoload modules as needed [18:15] ok thanks I'll try that [18:15] Araxis: if your goal is to use linux, then just use it and learn as you go. if you want to be a linux sysadmin, then I recommend starting with http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide [18:16] hello I need a quick fix how do you reverse this command? take it back to what it was before i changed the settings? sudo chmod ugo-r libpulse-simple.so.0.0.3 thank you [18:17] hello, can anyone please give me a hint about how to change orca'a default male voice to female?

I want to get an external HD to install ubuntu on, but I'm not sure which would be best. Any suggestions? [18:27] Is grub-pc the same as grub2? [18:27] barbadillo, tes [18:27] Ugons: Good suggestion [18:27] Ugons: it doesnt matter. you can get a 2.5 western digital for a low price [18:27] barf, yes [18:27] barf: yes [18:27] Ugons: i have isntalled to an external drive [18:28] nit-wit the hard drive is ext4 but when creating the "folder for win7 it didnt give option to format [18:28] Ugons: One HDD pr OS is good [18:28] barf: version 1.98 is oddly enough, grub2 [18:28] the internal mic doesn't work.. i try to find the resolution on forums but nothing! [18:28] jordanm: why [18:28] jordanm: No wonder why I am confused [18:28] JT13, what folder [18:28] why is grub2 version 1.98? [18:28] Alright, and to install to the external HD I basically follow the same installation process but just choose that as the location? [18:28] magicianlord: you would have to ask the upstream developer [18:28] and who is that [18:29] Is there a way to build the kernel with automatic optimization for the hardware where it is compiled? [18:29] JT13, all you have to do is build a michine launch it with thw windows ISO or cd and install. [18:29] nit-wit /home/josh/virtualbox/win se7en [18:29] Ugons: depends on how you want to do it. i run a copy of ubuntu on an external drive that i built from the liveCD so it boots and keeps its settings on any computer [18:29] Where to install grub?

[18:30] JT13, or is this the machine folder [18:30] So basically you can boot Ubuntu from any computer if you have the external HD with you?

[18:30] I'm trying to use pulse but it don't connect to a network.. [18:30] magicianlord: looks like thats not easy to find because the copyright is assigned to the FSF [18:30] nit-wit one sec [18:30] Ugons: yeah, as long as the computer can boot from USB [18:30] Well there is the issue about compatability but that's a different story. [18:31] JT13, sure [18:31] And to double check, a MacBook Pro can, yes? [18:31] Ugons: make sure you select advanced in the partitioning scheme, and install grub2 to the external drive only, usually /dev/sdb [18:31] Ugons: make sure you have a very simple graphixcs config and avoid proprietry graphics drivers [18:31] ComradeHaz`: good point [18:31] it might be pci or something more esoteric [18:32] ComradeHaz`: mine works fine even after setting up multiple monitors on one pc and moving to one without them. i have avoided nvidia blob and ati drivers tho [18:32] why is ubuntu 10.10 significantly faster when performing operations tahn 10.04? is this a result of hte newer kernel? === pingbat__ is now known as pingbat_mob [18:32] thanks magicican, I wrote that down on a sticky for later.
