[01:02] With the help of MDB Tools, your Microsoft Access databases and schemas can be converted to MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, or PostgreSQL, and OpenOffice.org works with these databases as a backend. Note that this is not part of the OpenOffice.org package. [01:02] tripelb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:02] Smashcat: hold up a second, i will be right back [01:03] Ahhhhhh I cant get this stupid ext hd to work [01:03] hi, i have a samsung nf-210 with n550 atom processor, i have read that it has one unused mini pci-e port, i have 1gb of intel turbo memory and an intel 4965abgn card, which one should/can i place in there? [01:04] Ahrotahntee: You can also try using mii-tool - e.g. " mii-tool -v eth0 " [01:04] What I posted ^^ suggests that I need mysql to work with openoffice as a database. -- this is getting deeper and deeper. Any help? I havent used a database in 20+ years (blush) and my thoughts are clean and unimpeded by what's out now. (I hae student-taught in a datastructures class at university) [01:04] can someone please help with snmp? [01:04] bluedust: How is it not working? [01:04] * snmpd is not running [01:04] * snmptrapd is not running [01:04] cant seem to get it to start [01:04] bluedust: Won't detect? Can't see files? Won't turn on?

I connect to the machine with vinagre, and I can see from across the room that my mouse and keystrokes are working, but the screen won't redraw itself in vinagre so I can't see what I'm doing. Any ideas how to fix this? [01:05] its a wd se passport and its file managing system is windows based [01:06] it wont even run in wine [01:06] anyone know why xbmc will crash playing some videos? [01:06] stupid people [01:06] bluedust: So it's a custom backup solution instead of just another external HDD? [01:07] hi there [01:07] i need some help [01:07] anybody? [01:07] anyone, anyone, beuler? [01:07] Smashcat: mii-tool is a package I would need to install? [01:08] Ahrotahntee: Yep, if you don't have it - it's pretty small [01:08] Smashcat: apparently not; I'm getting operation not permitted [01:08] Ahrotahntee: Are you root? [01:08] sorry [01:08] yes unfortunatly ive back up all my file before installing ubuntu and now i cant access them [01:08] Ahrotahntee: np [01:08] Smashcat: sorry, that would be Operation not supported [01:08] Smashcat: my silly brain was filling in blanks; that means I'm unable to measure my own bandwidth? [01:09] is there any way to edit the info Evolution displays in a notification? Right now it just says I have mail. I'd like to see the subject at least. [01:09] Ahrotahntee: Well, it's puzzling that you're not seeing the driver being loaded in dmesg. Unless you have it loaded via some other script after boot [01:09] Smashcat: nothing I set up, let me have a look-see [01:09] bluedust: Automated backup.. and it seems to have done some encryption too... That can make it difficult, if it wasn't encrypted it should be mountable... [01:10] ive read some forums and all of them say im screwed [01:10] Ahrotahntee: Try " lspci | grep thernet " [01:10] bluedust: At the moment the only way I can think of for you is to use VirtualBox Personal Use Edition and have some sort of windows inside it to try to get at your files again =/ [01:10] Hi. How do i format or run fsck on a fat formatted usb stick? All of the sticks are reporting that they are full (they're empty) and gparted quits if they are mounted and doesn't see them if they're not.

[01:11] Ahrotahntee: Hah [01:11] induz, sorry, a bit busy at the moment [01:11] Ahrotahntee: Might be worth Googling that name - it seems to be behaving strangely [01:11] well i just bought a 40G ssd and Im limited to what i can put on my pc [01:12] Smashcat: It works, I just can't seem to measure my up/down speed [01:13] Ahrotahntee: Well you can get an idea by just creating a big file, then transferring it to another machine. If you're getting around 10MB/sec, then it's 100mbps [01:13] does anyone have a statistical graph demoing the damage to hardware based on Windows 7 versus a recent Ubuntu when crashes happen [01:13] bazhang, ok when u have time see the page i sent u [01:13] Smashcat: no, I know my peak speeds, I want to know current operating speeds [01:13] i just want hdmi 5.1 audio to work, is that so much to ask [01:13] Smashcat: which is queryable from /proc [01:14] Smashcat: (to my understanding) [01:14] DrummerBoy38: err no damage really comes to hw during crashes, besides corrupt writes to hdds, unless it overheated [01:14] bluedust: You did use a very windows specific backup method.. so I agree with the forums, you are screwed unless you have access to another windows computer. Maybe this time you can copy the files without having to enter a password just to open the new drive ^_^ [01:14] snmp help please [01:14] Dementio, I dont think it too much to ask... have you also tried the #alsa channel and the #pulseaudio channel? [01:14] what is the program for burning disc on server? [01:14] hi from n.z [01:14] bluedust: Actually... DO you need to enter a password before you can use that passport se?

[01:16] Smashcat: conky has a feature, but it's not working; I'm trying to find where ubuntu keeps that specific data so I can either symlink it, or write an appropriate script to intermediate the data [01:16] well i can stick all on gf computer for the time being [01:17] what is the program for burning disc on server? [01:17] do i just format it or is their somthing special i need to do [01:17] what is the command for burning disc on server? [01:17] Ahrotahntee: Well all I did was have a script that kept polling "ifconfig eth0" then working out how many bytes had been transferred since it last polled. Pretty simple to do [01:17] has anyone had probs with sound on there Asus laptop [01:17] bluedust: Linux can handle NTFS to a certain degree, though I'm not sure what a 1TB drive should use x.x [01:18] Smashcat: I will keep that in reserve if I can't figure this out, thank you kindly for your time :) [01:18] Ahrotahntee: No problem, good luck ;-) [01:18] can some one give me some help [01:18] bluedust: To be honest I'm not sure, I never had such drives, I just buy a USB HDD dock + a 1TB drive...

[01:19] for multiple OS [01:20] bluedust: Unless you split the drive into say two 500GB partitions, that can't be done. [01:20] noonian, yes on server [01:20] they both have to be the same exact size [01:20] right [01:21] bluedust: No they don't have to be, just saying, you can't have 2 1TB partions on a 1TB drive. [01:21] I know that hehehehe [01:21] lol [01:21] unless it was a quantum drive [01:21] * weebit falls outta chair laughing [01:22] bluedust: Sorry, going with the side of caution ^_^ [01:22] thanks for clearing that up Diamondcite [01:23] Hi my friends of the ubuntu hive mind.

So I restart my laptop and now I can access Ubuntu. What should I do? [01:34] In a network of 50 PC's would DHCP traffic affect the performance of the network, or is it negligible? this network is sharing only 1MB internet connection and students use it for browsing only [01:34] I can't [01:34] * === gugurang is now known as pinoyoragon [01:35] how do I turn off the jingle I get when I log in?

[01:36] Second, my sound is all screwed up. I'm running real time kernel to get low latency. [01:37] Can anyone think of any security risk of running logcheck as root? [01:37] could someone help me with an ipod issue? [01:37] how to do like sux, but with both X and audio working? [01:37] or is there a way to permit a user to use iptables? [01:37] Lastly, the upgrade to Lucid switched my nvidia driver but now that I'm RT kernel, I can't install my preferred nvidia driver. [01:37] That's it. [01:37] ComradeHaz': i'm of different specie... hehehhe i come from different background... not IT/CS or something [01:38] luketheduke: go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications, find GNOME login sound and diable it by un-ticking the box next to it. [01:38] bazhang that didnt work [01:38] Ahrotahntee: like, SUID it? but sounds unsafe.. why? [01:38] Fezzler: remove the driver, reboot, then reinstall it [01:38] kstar66, launch from terminal then, give exact error messages in paste.ubuntu.com [01:38] ComradeHaz': I just started playing with Linux System Administration a year ago :) [01:38] AndrewMC: thanks! [01:39] no one knows how to bring back min/max/restore on window perimeter? [01:39] xelister: logcheck detects portscans and I want it to automatically set my firewall to drop offenders [01:39] kstar66, metacity --replace& [01:39] ActionParsnip>> I tried. Would the RT kernel prevent that? That's what happens when I try that. [01:39] kstar66, or compiz --replace& if you're running that [01:39] kstar66: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace should do it [01:39] kstar66, yes I do. please try what I suggested and give *exact * error message [01:40] Ahrotahntee: make log write to some file, and root script read that file. But. there are probably ready scripts for what yhou describe [01:40] Fezzler: not sure, never bothered with it. Shouldn't as far as I am aware [01:40] xelister: it can't use iptables (being non-root), so I either need to run logcheck as root [01:40] xelister: or that [01:40] Fezzler: I'm guessing you do a lot of sound production... [01:40] alt f2 doesnt do it [01:40] and error message pops up [01:40] kstar66, I said in terminal [01:40] didnt work there either [01:41] !work | kstar66 [01:41] kstar66: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [01:41] xelister: I can setup sudo to only allow the account to use the one program, right? [01:41] kstar66, need the error [01:41] ActionParsnip>> Yes [01:41] kstar66: can you give the error, telling us there is an error doesn't help much [01:41] command not found [01:42] in terminal [01:42] hi! What can I do, if I have a wide monitor, and I can't switch res. above of 1024x768? [01:42] for compiz--replace and metacity--replace [01:42] kstar66: there is a SPACE [01:42] kstar66, then you're using the wrong command or spelling it incorrectly [01:42] antivirtel: sounds like a video driver issue if you cant go above 1024 x 768, I could be wrong though [01:42] ActionParsnip, nice catch [01:42] kstar66: metacity --replace look at the space. I give the exact command so you can COPY it [01:43] bazhang: users seem to be blind to spaces, they learn fast :) [01:43] kstar66: metacity is the commands, the --replace is an option on the command [01:43] gunndawg, my monitor isnt recognized...

[02:29] he can pick up crumbs later [02:30] ActionParsnip: but those scenarios dont apply here [02:30] species: true, but it can be a significant lump of data [02:30] themonarch: how does the drive attch? [02:30] his priority #1 is to make his disk work [02:31] I plug it into my USB port? [02:31] species: notice how I'm addressing both issues.... [02:31] themonarch: wat is the issue with the drive? [02:31] Niglop you mean burn it to DVD, right. It should play with vlc or mplayer. [02:31] tripelbb› how do i play it though its just a bunch of files [02:31] Nothing. I just want Ubuntu to access the other 1.8 tb so I can DL my stuff haha [02:32] themonarch: download in what sense, apps or user data? [02:32] actionparsnip: I believe I am using the windows driver. I got it directly from the windows system folders. [02:32] Niglop, when I buy a dvd it's just those kind of files too. [02:32] user data [02:32] themonarch: then and how does the drive interface with the system? [02:32] tripelbb› what do i click to play it [02:32] I dont understand :/ [02:32] let me put in a disk and see what I do. just a sec [02:32] clavin12: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks? [02:33] kk [02:33] themonarch: how does the drive connect to the system? SATA? PATA? Firewire? USB? [02:33] Niglop: vlc should be able to play a dvd just fine...

I think this is outdated -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping#Ubuntu%20Default%20CD%20Ripping%20Software I don't think sound-juicer is installed by default anymore. Is there an equivalent that is installed by default, or what package should I use? [02:34] clavin12: try: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper then rescan [02:34] because Ubuntu is running off of it [02:34] I think [02:34] still nothing [02:34] /join #ubuntu-cn [02:35] why not [02:35] no space [02:35] butterfly: because you put a space in front of the command [02:35] oh，my god [02:35] Actionparsnip: keep in mind i'm using 9.10 [02:35] Niglop, I went to computer, r-clicked on the diskimage. chose open with other program. chose VLC (and said remember this choice) [02:35] oh，thanks [02:36] thanks tripelbb but now hen i put a dvd in its not even showing up [02:36] Species?

[02:38] I dont know what that means.. [02:38] What should I use as a cd ripper? [02:38] Even though i installed the driver in ndiswrapper. [02:38] Niglop, this is really wierd so listen up. I got the dvd showing on the desktop BUT when I click or r-click I only get the folder. BUT when I go to places > dvd > R-click THEN I get the choice to "Open with other application" -- this is one reason I call Ubuntu "not ready for prime time". --- You can ALSO open VLC and choose disc (under File) [02:38] Niglop No one will help. [02:38] when you did df -ah it showed that your hdd is /def/sdb1 and is mounted on /host [02:38] it indicated that the partition on it is the full size of the disk [02:39] Hi. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and occasionally I notice certain letters will become squares, and it's becomine very irritating. Like right now, the lowercase v is a black square. How do I stop this? :( [02:39] tripelbb now hen i put a dvd in its not even showing up [02:39] jasono when no one helps it's because no one knows. I have never used Blender tho I know what it is. [02:39] im curious as to what /host is for [02:39] who use that archaic opera [02:39] Idk? :( [02:39] niriven› lol what game is that [02:39] try cd /host [02:40] tripelbb: there is a blender channel on freenode [02:40] jasono: http://www.blender.org/education-help/tutorials/ [02:40] Niglop, starcraft 2, custom game :) [02:40] you mean type cd /host as a command in terminal [02:40] Niglop did you go to places, computer? -- Now eventually your DVD-eye inside the drive will get dirty and not work. I cant tell if that happened or not. (BTW the CDeye and the DVDeye are separate and distinct even in the same drive [02:40] ? [02:40] oh [02:40] themonarch: yes [02:40] jasono when no one helps it's because no one knows. I have never used Blender tho I know what it is. AND tripelbb: there is a blender channel on freenode [02:40] it said "/host$ [02:40] gpc I do not have time. This is due tomorrow. [02:40] hm [02:40] and then wants me to type something [02:40] ill restart brb [02:41] hit ctrl+c [02:41] you did that wrong [02:41] try agian, "cd /host" [02:41] tripelbb I've tried #blender [02:41] Hi. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and occasionally I notice certain letters will become squares, and it's becomine very irritating. Like right now, the lowercase v is a black square. How do I stop this? :( [02:41] jasono: we aren't here to do your homework and Blender support would be better in #blender [02:41] same thing [02:41] odd [02:42] how do i add repositiores so i can get a precompiled package for kdevelop [02:42] jasono: while you wait for answers to your questions in #blender you could be reading up on it at their site [02:42] :( [02:42] that makes no gd sense [02:43] why? [02:43] 1) the fact that its mounted on /host in the first place and 2) that it does that [02:43] anyone know anything about mp3blaster?? [02:43] anyway to fix? [02:43] no4: sudo apt-get install kdevelop [02:43] thechas, you have a question about it? please ask [02:43] no idea, sorry [02:44] FRICK.

[02:47] yes [02:47] how do I edit the startup so that it boots right in to the OS rather than hitting the "try ubuntu, install ubuntu" menu [02:47] but its all pretty standard except for /host [02:47] Mokstar_: you can't, its a live cd, thats what its designed to do. [02:47] so what you're telling me [02:48] How might I go about fixing the "cannot detect if hardware is present" error in ndiswrapper with my netgear wna3100 adapter. [02:48] whats xubuntu? is that gnome? [02:48] is that there is no possible way of editing it to boot right into the persistent OS [02:48] Mokstar_: take the CD out of the drive :P [02:48] :/ [02:48] Mokstar_: you left the CD in the drive despite being told not to [02:48] boldfilter: no, xfce [02:48] Mokstar_: i'm not telling you there's no way, what i'm telling you, is if you want to create your own live cd, have at it.

[02:49] clavin12: i guess thats a matter up for debate... xfce has gotten very bloated over the last few years.. it's not much different from gnome [02:49] i have acetoneiso [02:50] species should i try unpluging my ext hdd? [02:50] in which foldershould i put that manual? [02:50] see if that changes anything? [02:50] themonarch: i wouldnt, if thats what you are booting from [02:50] whats the command to install xfce === james is now known as Guest65846 [02:50] km0201: on my 256 mb laptop it's much faster than gnome [02:50] if only *cough* somebody knew why it was mounting on /host *cough* [02:50] Trying to read the tuts on installing a .tgz file, but I can't get it. Help? [02:50] Hahah. [02:50] can i change that?

Because I'm trying to install a Lexmark printer driver and entering my OWN password isn't cutting it. [02:51] erm ll [02:51] "ll /media" [02:51] itaylor57, thanks for answer earlier (I went afk). So if I want something to ping an address with a single and wait a second repeatedly until I get a response, how would it look? maybe... while [ $(ping -c 1 $?) = 1 ] do sleep 1 done? [02:51] Da_Wrecka: there is no root password [02:51] km0201: it helps if you don't use compositing [02:51] it says "OS" in blue letters [02:51] single packet* [02:51] clavin12: well yeah.. [02:52] hello, I have 2 servers that I'm accessing via KVMoIP. On one server, I am able to boot from the attached ubuntu minimal iso (mini.iso) and install ubuntu just fine, on the other, when I boot from mini.iso, "linux" loads fine, then "initrd.gz" loads fine (..... ready). But once that's done I get a kernel panic that says "kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to... [02:52] ...kernel". Any ideas on how I can overcome this? [02:52] Da_Wrecka: you can do " sudo -i " to get extended sudo privs [02:52] Da_Wrecka: you have to create one if you want one. [02:52] * Mokstar_ goes to ask in #xubuntu instead. [02:52] or sudo su - [02:52] themonarch: that sounds like the windows partition [02:52] Blah. Oh well. Not the end of the world I suppose... Running the installer from a terminal with sudo should do the trick, I hope [02:52] huh? [02:53] blue OS means windows? [02:53] haha [02:53] nothing out of the ordinary there either [02:53] no [02:53] nothing to do with windows, thats how ll is colouring things [02:53] oh [02:53] sohowtofix? [02:53] noideasorry [02:53] maybe erase and reinstall? [02:54] sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/tQCCfYCX [02:54] why the frick would a drive mount as /host [02:54] lol [02:54] themonarch: the normal way to dual boot is to split the internal HDD of the laptop [02:54] oh joy. Sudo isn't working; All I get is "command not found", WHILE executing from the directory containing the file, AND after having chmod +x'd the file in question [02:54] themonarch: the installer makes this easy as pie [02:54] i saved it to my external [02:54] species, live cd ? [02:54] and ran it off my external [02:54] Da_Wrecka: ./nameoffile [02:54] .... [02:55] edbian: he's booting off a hard disk [02:55] edbian: for some reason its giving him almost no disk space on /home even though he has a 2tb disk available [02:55] species: /host is what Wubi mounts the Windows partition as when it's set up [02:56] windows partition? [02:56] wait a minute [02:56] themonarch: are you running in wubi? or booting natively [02:56] Oh. Nevermind, my mistake. Archive Manager put the .sh in a directory it made, WITHIN the directory I was trying to execute from [02:56] what in gods name is wubi? [02:56] or bootng natively [02:56] it lets you run ub on top of windows [02:56] So I was, futilely, trying to execute a directory that I thought was a shell script [02:56] !wubi [02:56] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. For Ubuntu Maverick/10.10 http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/wubi.exe [02:56] species, themonarch hahahaha [02:56] I have 10.10 cd iso image. I want to add ubuntu manual to this iso image such that, after burning this iso image to cd, in live cd mode and after installation that ubuntu manual should appear in the desktop. I am using acetoneISO. [02:57] themonarch: it's like daemon tools [02:57] i think [02:57] edbian: this explains a few things, but unfortunatley my knowledge ends here... I find the existence of wubi offensive and confusing :| [02:57] daemon tools? [02:57] can someone explain what a hard link is? [02:57] daemon tools is a virtual drive, makes your computer think there is a dvd drive when there isn't [02:57] im not too too knowledgeable on computers [02:57] sorry [02:57] species, I don't disagree with your opinion of wubi [02:58] themonarch, no worries. So is this wubi? Did you install this while windows was running? [02:58] does anyone else get a this when they run netstat [02:58] i can boot in windows or ubuntu whenever want, like i have both..

[02:58] * KM0201 thinks Ubuntu should drop wubi [02:59] edbian: I think it springs from the mistaken believe that ubuntu is somehow going to save the world by making our grannies use ub instead of windows [02:59] KM0201, i have to agree with that [02:59] themonarch, I know that. I'm asking, when you installed, did you run the installer from inside windows? Or did you boot the cd ? [02:59] inside windows i think. i didnt use a CD or anyrhing [02:59] clavin12: only network device I see is RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ an ethernet device so what device do you plan to use ndiswraper on? [02:59] thiebaude: it's fine to "try" ubuntu.. but to many think it's safe to just keep and use regularly.. and removing it, is often a huge pain. I was helping a guy most of the weekend who couldn't get wubi removed, despite following all the instructions on the forums, ubuntu.com etc. [03:00] sacarlson: oh darn, srry it was unplagged at the time. [03:00] plugged* [03:00] God dammit, Lexmark! It would be nice if you'd tell me about prerequisites BEFORE I waste time trying to install the thing without! [03:00] themonarch, You never burned a cd? Then you are using wubi. Wubi is a special installer that lets you install Ubuntu as if it were a window application. (but lets you boot into it normally) There is a file on your windows partition that acts as Ubuntu's harddrive. That file is limiting your size. [03:00] KM0201, i tried it before ,few years ago [03:00] python: yes. they're unix domain sockets. they're normal. [03:00] sacarlson; oh waite no it wasn't [03:00] clavin12: ya they work much better when you plug them in [03:00] KM0201: I can't remember ever seeing someone on #ubuntu say good things about Wubi :| [03:00] First it whinges that I don't have a JRE installed. I solve that problem and NOW it's whinging that I don't have XSane installed [03:00] How do i fix that? [03:00] rww: lol [03:00] Thanks EQ [03:00] install from Cd or USB? [03:01] thiebaude: i've never personally tried it... just have helped people try to remove it, or fix the mess that happens if they try to "upgrade" wubi. [03:01] I have 10.10 cd iso image. I want to add ubuntu manual to this iso image such that, after burning this iso image to cd, in live cd mode and after installation that ubuntu manual should appear in the desktop. I am using acetoneISO. [03:01] I wanted to know the location in iso image where to add the manual. [03:01] sacarlson: I suppose that's part of my problem then. [03:01] KM0201, my problem before was trying to get it off the windows boot loader [03:02] sacarlson: It's a usb device. [03:02] when it ask for choice of windows or ubuntu,lol [03:02] thiebaude: yeah... unfortunately, it's a common issue. [03:02] themonarch, You can make the file bigger, I'm not sure how (just google it). A proper install would also fix the problem. [03:02] thats after i uninstalled it,lol [03:02] KM0201, [03:02] Oh well, at least the printer software is installed [03:02] themonarch, What is the ultimate problem / goal here? [03:02] Kind of interesting really, I was under the impression Lexmark had a pretty poor reputation when it came to Linux support [03:02] i have a 2tb external hard drive, and i want to use that space but Ubuntu wouldnt let me lol [03:02] thiebaude: yeah, there's some registry editing you can do to remove the wubi menu if it doesn't remove upon uninstall. === jgruber is now known as n8msu [03:03] sacarlson: lsusb: 0846:9020 [03:03] KM0201, Now its ubuntu only and a fresh install [03:03] themonarch, you want to move the wubi? expand it? please clarify [03:03] themonarch, you have to partition the harddrive. Ubuntu cannot be installed on NTFS partitions [03:03] if i do a proper install, do i have to start over wth ubuntu again? [03:03] how do i fix 'failed to open sound device' in mp3blaster [03:03] been using ubuntu since 6.06 :) [03:03] themonarch, please answer my question [03:04] * thiebaude macbuntu [03:04] themonarch, no but it is not 'easy' to transfer the data you have [03:04] idk. [03:04] thiebaude: to me, the bigger issue is, when wubi breaks(especially the bootloader) it hoses both OS's.. and it's hard to fix cuz you can't boot either one, and the live cd doesn't realy have many of the tools necessary to fix wubi.... at least w grub.. you'll likely always be able to boot at least 1 OS, and even if you can't, the live CD has the tools to fix many grub problems [03:04] it said i was out of space [03:04] and i got confused [03:04] because i have 2 tb [03:04] themonarch, then expand it. there is a tool for it [03:04] KM0201, yep [03:04] themonarch, let me get you the link [03:04] please and thank you [03:05] what i did for a clean format of everything [03:05] that was 2 years ago [03:05] what am i missing [03:05] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#head-c1b3095de0e43733f9336427bb90d7ef322de99c themonarch [03:06] Oh yeah, while I'm here; I've also run into a rather annoying problem; Basically, I once set my netbook's power scheme to Performance, and shut the netbook down some time after. Now, every time I boot Ubuntu, it starts in Performance, even if I set it to Conservative or Ondemand before I shut down. Anyone have a fix? [03:06] http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html themonarch [03:06] thanks, bazhang [03:07] but ll probably just delete Ubuntu, and start agan the proper way [03:07] themonarch, not a bad idea ;) [03:07] haha [03:07] do I have to have a cd [03:07] or a usb or .. [03:07] ? [03:07] themonarch, you don't HAVE to have a cd or usb but those are the easiest methods [03:07] ok [03:07] !unetbootin [03:08] thanks a bunch to everyone who helped me [03:08] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [03:08] hopefully ill be back on Ubuntu soon! :D [03:08] * Da_Wrecka uses CDs or DVDs, but then he has a USB DVD-writer, so he doesn't have to worry about whether the system has such a drive [03:08] sacarlson: hello?

On ubuntu 5.04 i got it to work [03:36] is there any way to get details on which files are being processed when copying in nautilus? [03:37] julio_: yes, each virtual terminal has a separate tty number matching a similar vt number. Usually your stuff starts on vt7 (virtual terminal 7) related to device /dev/tty7, which usually starts out with as DISPLAY=:0.0. Actually the DISPLAY variable in the environment of a running X program or set of programs in a session could include an IP address and could make the output appear on an X session on a separate computer--not often seen with Ub [03:37] untu, though.

[03:52] Dead_Storage: why would¿ [03:52] Dead_Storage, not really [03:52] Dead_Storage: it shouldn't, as it doesn't affect your settings stored in the /home directory [03:52] Just installed Ubuntu 10 Server on my file server. OS is on a seperate 80gb drive. It never asked me where to mount the storage drives...what's the easiest way to do that? They all have exsisting data. [03:53] julio_: you can alt right click and drag conky around [03:53] julio_: that image you posted looks like a bug to me, not some configuration problem. I'd suggest you report in as an X bug to start with with the problem reporting tool to get it in launchpad and then attach the image. What version of Ubuntu are you running? [03:53] jgruber, conky is a system monitor, you can see it in the left screen (smaller one) on the screenshot [03:53] KM0201: thats not good... [03:53] mythid: reason I ask is I get this problem with memory failures, but if it worked before I guess it's software [03:53] can ubuntu use multiple PCs acting as one sing computer? [03:53] RedLance: you can edit fstab to mount the other drives and partitions at bootup [03:53] over ethernet ? [03:54] *single computer [03:54] !info beowulf [03:54] Package beowulf does not exist in maverick [03:54] derklempner, Ok, but I'm having trouoble figuring out the UUID's...it dosen't show /dev/sda at all [03:54] bastidrazor, not really... is setted as somewhat part of the background not as a windows [03:54] window* [03:54] RedLance: how many disks, and how many partitions? [03:54] is there any way to get details on which files are being processed when copying in nautilus? [03:54] julio_: i drag mine around. [03:55] bastidrazor, well, trust me i'm trying but it wont move :p [03:55] 5 disks, and 8 partitions [03:55] derklempner, 5 disks and 8 partitions [03:55] Blueleaf: any particular reason it must be CLI?.. there's plenty of "small" media players that have a GUI. [03:56] sacarlson: yea with ubuntu 5.04 it worked forever with the pmcia card\ [03:56] chaospsychex: they have packages that support using a team of computers to solve math problems but I don't know if they have any setup to support all applications [03:56] derklempner, Including the OS drive. [03:56] julio_: pastebin your .conkyrc [03:56] sacarlson: i just wanted to upadte so i get the latest repositories [03:56] sacarlson: and now when i click my wifi network it just locks up my mouse and everything [03:57] KM0201: im just like doing everything on the cl, im old fashioned [03:57] julio_: what's the text at the left of the image? [03:57] my external hard drive is acting up, everytime i log in, it mounts when i double click on the GUI, but it will not STAY mounted, is there a way to fix that? [03:57] mythid: well must be software then, or maybe just run out of mem? you have a swap partition setup? [03:57] sacarlson: no it's just an entire partition install [03:57] RedLance: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [03:57] derklempner, Thanks [03:57] bastidrazor, one sec [03:58] mythid: well that might cause a problem if you don't have swap and with limited mem if you run out there is nothing much the system can do but crash [03:58] RedLance: so where you see "UUID" in fstab, you'd put in the drive's /dev path: i.e., /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc2 [03:58] sacarlson: you really think that joining a wifi network can use up all my memory? plus lubuntu is supposed to be really light [03:58] derklempner: RedLance just use the UUID's .. sudo blkid will give you each partitions UUID [03:58] sacarlson: it runs fast too until i join the network it locks up [03:58] jgruber, the white text on the left half of the small screen is part of conky, as the column (of wich you'll see bottom half) on the right of that same screen [03:59] mythid: when it is running can you run the command top or htop to see what you have left? [03:59] ubuntu keeps telling me I have 3.something MB left [03:59] but Gparted says I have 700 [03:59] bastidrazor: he can use the UUIDs, too, but sometimes it's just easier to use the device path instead [03:59] bastidrazor, I've been trying that, but it leaves off the system drive /dev/sda...though I think that's because it's got LVM on it [03:59] mythid: it's not as light as things were back in 5.04, only one way to find out....look and see [04:00] mythid: then it could also be a problem you have with the network drivers? or is it you open a browser when it crashes? [04:00] bastidrazor, http://pastebin.com/WnmgV4Yi there you go [04:01] sacarlson: no i dont even have to open up the browser [04:01] bastidrazor, Oh, no...it's leaving off my 1.5TB drive [04:01] mythid: well that narrows it down a bit then, could be the nic driver, what else opens at the time? [04:02] RedLance: can you pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' ? [04:02] mmm hi? [04:02] Loshki, Think I figured it out...I thought I had made a FS on the big drive...but according to fdisk, I haven't [04:03] im having an issue with an sd card [04:03] hi :P /tmp contents doesnt survive reboot in ubunty? [04:03] ubuntu [04:03] seems to be like it got wiped after a reboor [04:03] Loshki, http://pastebin.com/wMAaLaSF [04:04] fubada: yes /tmp is cleared on most unix-like systems (all that I know of) that's what is temporary about it [04:04] shit :P [04:04] there goes my perfect openwrt kernel config [04:04] fubada: sorry [04:04] np, the behavior is different in debian 5/centos [04:04] fubada: /tmp is usually wiped on reboot. Sometimes it's not even on a real disk... [04:05] hello? [04:05] k Vilki [04:05] i mean Loshki [04:05] thanks [04:05] julio_: i see, you have the whole screen using conky.. that looks horrible :( [04:05] Using GParted I can view all partitions. Browsing via a manager, /dev/sda does not exist. [04:05] !ask Philippe === zkriesse_ is now known as zkriesse [04:05] sorry [04:05] Where would partitions be stored in the filesystem? [04:06] im pretty new [04:06] Philippe: just ask your question :) [04:06] how pretty are you?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:06] jajajaj [04:07] julio_: and no wonder.. it is seeing the top of the screen as the height of the 2nd since it is taller. [04:07] Starminn: partition table is normaly stored in around the first 512 bytes on the disk drive [04:07] Hey, can anyone help me setup my server to join with Active Directory? [04:08] so i formatted an sd card and i put some files on it , then i took it out an put it back in and icant put any new files on it [04:09] Philippe: are you trying to put the new files into an existing directory on the card? [04:09] like a folder? yeah [04:10] i could tell you the error i get but i got my computer in spanish [04:10] i could set it in english and check [04:11] bastidrazor, ...likes or dislikes it was the first .conky i've liked :p [04:11] Philippe: what user name are you using, and what user owns the directory you're trying to copy the files into? [04:11] wait [04:11] julio_: line 73 add a comment. #alignment top_left then uncomment line 75.. alignment bottom_left .. that should get it back down [04:12] USA! [04:12] USA! USA! [04:12] USA! USA!

[04:12] pooshwalter: Stop that. [04:12] Philippe: and the permissions on the folder? what are they set to? [04:13] hi guys, Im having a bt of trouble with my ftp server. If i create user with useradd i cant connect with that user. but when adduser is used the user is then allowed ftp access. the reason i need to use useradd is because i am building a perl programme which automatically makes user accounts and ftp access. any help will be most appreciated. [04:14] bastidrazor, that's more like it but i'll have to modify the rest of it as now i've got and inch of free space up :p [04:15] wait am changing my computer to english if you dont mind cause am kinda bad at translating il be back soon [04:15] bastidrazor, when this started happening i considered switching to some less invasive horizontal bar at the top [04:16] julio_: line 340 add a few more empty lines. that should raise the right text [04:16] julio_ and bastidrazor: isn't it supposed to appear in a window rather than appearing in the background (maybe it's my eyes :-) [04:17] Can someone help me troubleshoot an ubuntu usb stick problem? WHen I boot to USB, I /briefly/ see some symbol at the bottom of the screen, and then it goes into like a command prompt screen, a bunch of stuff scrolls, and then it just freezes... any ideas? [04:17] jgruber: psuedo transparency is the a feature of conky. [04:17] prod_: so you mean the user has to login one time before they can access your ftp site? [04:18] bastidrazor and julio_: sorry. I didn't know that [04:18] julio_: getting a better .conkyrc would be a better idea.. why you are interested in seeing /var/log/messages on the desktop is a mystery to me. [04:18] jgruber, no prob [04:18] prod_: can you run diff -r on the two user's home directories (one which works and one which doesn't) to see if it gives you any clues... [04:19] bastidrazor, well for a while it was kinda fun... it came with the script, now i rarely pay atention to it except when i plug in my 3g modem lol :p [04:19] USA! [04:19] USA! USA! [04:19] prod_: oh IC the adduser command works but the useradd doesn't, why can't perl just use the adduser then? [04:19] Psh, bored. [04:19] USA! USA! USA!

[04:20] wow that was weird [04:20] pooshwalter: Three strikes and you're out. Just FYI. [04:20] sacarlson: Yes i need users to be added by my perl programme and so far i am only able to addusers with useradd. But when i use useradd the corresponding ftp account isnt created. However when i use adduser the ftp account is created automatically along with the unix account. I have try every ftp server available for ubuntu and all yield the same results.

[04:22] baslisks: this might help http://pkill-9.com/?p=314 [04:23] I am running Firefox 3.6 on Ubuntu, but it wont start after a power failure while it was running. [04:23] thanks [04:23] prod_: maybe you need to look at the perl system command? http://www.perlhowto.com/executing_external_commands [04:23] starting that set of instructions [04:24] baslisks: YMMV applies [04:24] YMMV? [04:24] sacarlson: could you maybe link me to what you mean, I am without doubt very new to this and am most likely makin a big mistake or just unskilled :) [04:24] baslisks: your mileage may varry [04:24] ah [04:24] Can someone help me troubleshoot an ubuntu usb stick problem? WHen I boot to USB, I /briefly/ see some symbol at the bottom of the screen, and then it goes into like a command prompt screen, a bunch of stuff scrolls, and then it just freezes... any ideas?

Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information. [04:25] mikebot: did your md5sum check to ensure you got a good download? [04:25] I am unsure as to how i make my programme fill out multiple fields [04:25] is there any way to get details on which files are being processed when copying in nautilus? [04:25] tehbaut: usually it displays that info as it copies (file operations) [04:26] prod_: I'm not sure you even looked at the CLI for adduser then http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/add-a-user-on-ubuntu-server/ [04:26] Blue11: Yeah [04:26] Blue11: And the exe works when I open it manually in windows [04:26] Blue11: I thought so too, but all I see is "copying 2,500 files (in "Some Folder") to "Some Other Folder" [04:26] there's no dropdown that shows the file currently being processed [04:27] tehbaut: it should so the progress as it copies (at least it does in mine) [04:27] mikebot: ah not too fam with doing it in windows unfortunately maybe someone else can assist? [04:28] tehbaut: there is no dropdown. it will show another window that says file operations...and will show the progress of the copy... [04:28] Blue11: yeah, I see the progress "2.0 GB of 20.0 GB --- approximately 90 hours left (59.3 KB/sec)" but no listing of which file is being processed [04:28] Blue11: AH, ok, thanks for the attempt. [04:28] tehbaut: that's pretty slow, what are you copying from to? [04:29] Blue11: a hard drive with some bad blocks... it's excruciatingly slow [04:29] sacarlson: when usin useradd i am using the cli correctly, setting pw and creating home dir. that is why i dont understand why useradd doesnt work the same as adduser. [04:29] Blue11: that's why I was hoping to see which files it's getting stuck on [04:29] tehbaut: is it windows or linux? have you run fsck? [04:30] :'( I can't set the backlight on this darn laptop and it used to work perfect [04:30] the partition is a mac HFS+ partition... the drive is dying, thus I won't be running fsck on it [04:30] I wouldn't care if it could just be stuck on bright instead of dim [04:30] also, fsck always seems to corrupt my files, so I avoid it at all costs [04:30] tehbaut: have never used a mac...dunno... [04:31] I just bought a Western Digital MyBook Live 1TB NAS. I have it hooked up with all my music and movies. I'm not sure what I need to do to be able to play music from it from within rhythmbox. Do I need to permanently mount it or what exactly? [04:31] prod_: I think I might see the point why useradd would be what you want in this case since adduser asks questions after, maybe look at what groups are added with the adduser, my guess you didn't setup groups correctly for your useradd [04:31] the hard drive is dying... has a lot of bad blocks, thus it's slow... I'm sure it has nothing to do with the HFS+ formatting of the drive [04:31] LinuxGuy2009: is that a usb drive? [04:31] Blue11: No its a hard drive. [04:32] LinuxGuy2009: than the system should mount it for you, as long as the entry is in fstab, but yes it would need to be mounted [04:32] Blue11: he said it's NAS [04:32] Blue11: Its a NAS drive so it only has a ethernet port. [04:33] LinuxGuy2009: ahh that's why I asked. I have never seen an ethernet drive. [04:33] sarcarlson: would it suffice if i were to make the user its relevant group. eg username me group me?

[04:52] leonard: there is always sneakernet [04:52] Blue11: looks like testdisk doesn't support copying on a file/directory level... it's more of a "recover deleted files" solution [04:52] leonard: try Kismet -- http://www.kismetwireless.net/ [04:52] Philippe: so what are the permissions on the folder? [04:52] guys [04:53] digirak [04:53] tehbaut: yeah it is more a file recovery tool. but I hadn't seen it in years... [04:53] can someone help me with the installation of libical [04:53] prod_: did you look at what different between the two users when you create them? also I note that adduser is writen in perl, so if your a perl programer maybe you can look at that and maybe make your own version. see file at /sbin/adduser [04:53] http://pastebin.com/e5ByDMkc [04:53] this is the error i am getting at the end [04:54] linuxguy2009 did it work?

[04:55] sarcarlson :D i would never have looked at the language of adduser. well thought! i will try your ideas, i have used vsftpd proftpd ftpd and all give same results [04:55] leonard: been a while, so i can't say for sure. read the site for installation, support, and usage [04:56] insmod: what do you need to know? [04:56] sambagirlx: i formatted a partition and now at boot then cmos says the disk is damaged and to back it up press F1 to continue [04:56] leonard, it's in the repos [04:56] derklempner: above [04:56] ping [04:56] anyone help? [04:57] with what? [04:57] insmod i have seen that before [04:57] derklempner: so is it just coincidence or can i fix it? [04:57] digirak: did you Google the error? [04:57] i need help with installation of libical KM0201 [04:57] hey in compiz some effects are laggy any way i can make them faster? [04:57] sambagirlx: so is it just coincidence and/or can i fix it?

[04:58] brb [04:58] prod_: well I only wanted the one you are presently using, so I will run a test on what I already have installed proftp [04:58] insmod: what drive, what partition? [04:58] i did install it off the repos but the thing i am trying to build a KDEbuild [04:59] so am just following procedure [04:59] partition 3 [04:59] yes proftpd im currently using [04:59] digirak, do you have make installed? how about build-essential [04:59] digirak: what program ar eyou trying to compile?

[05:01] let me think what i did about that insmod i am trying to recall what i did [05:01] sambagirlx: ok [05:01] digirak: if you have source repositories enabled... type this... sudo apt-get build-dep kstars let it download/install anything it needs, then try to run .configure [05:01] digirak: second, most of the time, configure does not need ran with sudo. [05:02] what's the equivalent of "type foo.txt" in bash? on windows, "type foo.txt" will display the content of "foo.txt" on the console... right now, I'm using "cat foo.txt" to do just that. is there a proper way to printout the content of "foo.txt" on console? [05:02] /msg nickserv identify brodie [05:02] digirak: you really only need sudo when you run sudo make install. [05:02] fe [05:02] cuz all you'er doing up to that point, is compiling the package. [05:02] wow that was neat [05:02] m1dn1ght: change your nickserv password. identify, then /msg nickserv set password newpasswordhere [05:02] insmod do this in pm so i can ask questions better [05:03] !checkinstall | KM0201 :: digirak :: [05:03] KM0201 :: digirak ::: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

[05:03] ok [05:03] digirak: kstars has a package in the repositories... i'm assuming you're using a different version.. when you're compiling from source, and it has a package in the repositories, you can use build-dep to fetch the repositories [05:03] * sambagirlx laughs [05:03] i thought it was off topic [05:03] checkmark [05:03] bastidrazor: what is your point?... i was just pointing out that sudo didn't need to be used w/ .configure [05:03] brb insmod [05:03] KM0201: sounds good [05:04] i will try this and let you know KM0201 [05:04] KM0201: my point is checkinstall is a better route than make install [05:04] thanks a lot [05:04] bastidrazor: but that wasn't the point of what i ws saying... he's following instructions for what hes doing [05:04] bucky, I just thought there's other command that does what I wanted... to simply display the file. cat seems intended for concatenating files. [05:04] How to test if I am using Grub 1 or Grub 2? [05:05] how can i copy folders to another folder [05:05] KM0201: no need to feel you need to justify anything. [05:05] ho can i copy a folder to another folder from the terminal should i say [05:05] bullgard4: grub-install --version [05:05] was an os loaded on it when you did the partition insmod? [05:05] bastidrazor: just not really sure why you triggered checkinstall on me, i know what checkinstall is... [05:05] creek23, there's less and more too [05:06] sambagirlx:no [05:06] ahh ok [05:06] bastidrazor: Thank you for your help. [05:06] bullgard4: you're welcome. [05:06] insmod you had no os loaded at all? [05:06] ah... I see. so "less" is actually a command. so is "more" thanks. thanks. [05:07] insmod how many partitions, are they all primary? that will cause an error. gparted will allow you to do things you should not do :) [05:07] less > more [05:07] ciao. [05:07] sambagirlx:no [05:07] sambagirlx:let me see [05:07] insmod no partitions were created with gparted? [05:07] bullgard4: grub1.98 is grub2, just in case it might be confusing. [05:07] how do I prevent a service from starting on boot? [05:07] without a gui* [05:08] bastidrazor: I know that. [05:08] sambagirlx:just that one [05:08] bullgard4: okay, :) [05:08] Hi guys - I'm attempting to install ubuntu 10.4 on a PC via a USB drive. I am using unetbootin to install the image onto the drive. The trouble I'm having is that the drive was previously used to load a different OS and now despite clearing all partitions in gparted and reformatting, the previous bootloader seems stuck in the USB mbr. Any ideas how to clear it? [05:08] aperson: rename the service to service-DISABLE in /etc/init.d/ [05:08] aperson, update-rc.d [-n] [-f] remove [05:09] man update-rc.d [05:09] if the drive has no os what so ever insmod i would delete them. what i would do then would be start over. it seems that windows has caused a problem. you mentioned ntfs partition. windows has to have a 100mb paritition for 7 if your using that. [05:09] m1dn1ght: what happens when you try to boot the usb stick? do you get a message or anything? [05:09] I'm trying to sync my iPod touch on Rhythmbox. There is 15GB free on the iPod, but it won't sync becase Rhythmbox seems to think it is full. [05:10] jsjgruber, yes, it starts loading the previous bootloader (Flashboot loader ver 2.0u) which was used to install windows on a different computer. It then hangs because the rest of the drive is re-formatted. [05:11] bastidrazor, bucky, thanks [05:12] hi, anyone knows how to solve the sync problem between audio/video in guvcview? [05:12] aperson: you're welcome. [05:12] m1dn1ght: as far as I know, you can try "start up disk creator" in the administration pull down; I believe it will store a new mbr and it will format the first partition and load syslinux on it [05:13] jsjgruber, I'll give that a try now - thanks! will let you know if it works or not [05:13] KM0201: hey its installed all the packages [05:13] digirak: yeah, thats what its supposed to do. [05:13] lol [05:13] KM0201: now where do i run the./configure? [05:13] m1dn1ght: you might try the command grub-install [05:13] m1dn1ght: after you do that you could probably go back to your preferred usb boot creator [05:14] or if there's a good webcam capturer? cheese goes slow as... slow [05:14] KM0201: i guessed that too ;) [05:14] digirak: source directory of the program you downloaded [05:14] once i use sudo -i, how do i go back to being a user [05:14] lewix, exit [05:14] hi all just installed Ubunto 10.10 Netbook and have the lovely Gnome-Netbook DM, how doI get Xfce4? Install Xfce4? [05:14] usually itlll be like /path/to/folder/program_name [05:14] thank you aperson [05:15] nice nickname btw [05:15] brokendatapoint: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [05:15] is there any way to get details on which files are being processed when copying in nautilus? [05:15] arow, thanks - I'm giving jsjgruber's suggestion a whirl first, but will try yours if it fails. [05:15] brokendatapoint: i mean sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [05:15] derklempner: lubuntu? you mean x? [05:15] ah hah thanks [05:15] hello [05:15] brokendatapoint: lol yeah [05:16] derklempner: thanks man [05:16] brokendatapoint: no worries [05:16] Greets to all my friends. Question? What is the command for clearing the up down arrow recall file? Is it a BASH file or a recent file? [05:16] sarcarlson: thank you so much for spottin that adduser is written in perl. I owe you a beer :) [05:16] m1dn1ght: with either approach be careful to specify the correct drive :-) [05:16] KM0201: how do i find this directory [05:16] digirak: did you download the source code? [05:17] jsjgruber, hehe, indeed [05:17] Curly_Q: bash command history is stored in ~/.bash_history [05:17] KM0201: i just dit the apt-get in a particular directory [05:17] Thanks rww. [05:17] the Gnome-Netbook Dm is great, puuuurty, simple but a bit laggy on 2GB Netbook [05:17] I will check it. [05:17] Curly_Q: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-212482.html [05:17] no.. digirak when you're running ./configure, etc.. you need th source code of the program.. usually you download it from the homepage for the software [05:17] !compile | digirak [05:17] digirak: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [05:18] KM0201: source code of Kstars? [05:18] digirak: but kstars has a version in the repositories... why not just install that? [05:18] yes [05:18] KM0201: hold on i dont understand my thing is i want to code for Kstars [05:19] digirak: then you don't need ./configure.. thats what you use to compile the program from source [05:19] KM0201: so how do i get the source code for that [05:19] just wanted to say, have been trying to get Debian 64 Netbook, FreeBSD 8.1 & GnewSense to run on this machine ... fail! Ubuntu 10.10 installed/configured str8 up no worries ... love it! [05:19] Derklempner thanks for that index. Good show. [05:19] oh ok [05:19] Even after I save the x configuration file, my the setting I set wont save after i reset. Has anyone had this problem before? [05:19] Curly_Q: no worries [05:19] brokendatapoint, gnome doesn't have a netbook interface, I believe you're talking about unity [05:19] you need to install kstars... does kstars have a developer kit?... if so.. use it.. i'd seek out support from kstars, it's not really an ubuntu issue at this point [05:19] aperson: oh well, whatever, it looks like Meego, grid icon layout, neat though [05:19] KM0201: oh i c [05:20] jsjgruber, your solution worked as advertised, sir. I'm installing via USB as I type this. Many thanks once again. [05:21] m1dn1ght: my pleasure, np [05:21] for some reasons i can edit a file. how can i work around it [05:21] digitalfiz: http://edu.kde.org/kstars/ try searching their support docs [05:21] here's a toughie - anyone care to help me troubleshoot why I can't get sound working from my ubuntu-minimal install? there's so much to go through I don't know where to start asking questions [05:21] can i change the properties from read only to whatever? [05:21] aperson: install pulseaudio [05:22] xangua, done that [05:22] how do you change the properties of a gile that is on read only [05:22] file* [05:22] Nice command history -c [05:23] Curly_Q, ctrl+r [05:23] history -c? [05:23] digirak: you can get the source code for just about any package you get in a ubuntu repository. The command is apt-get source packagename. There's information on getting dependencies and commands to build in the ubuntu wiki [05:23] QUESTION: I'm unable to hear sound on Ubuntu 10.10. I guess its coz of sound-drivers,if its so please tell me how to install in it? [05:23] Ok I figured out pyneighborhood, I edited the launcher to include gksudo and now it mounts the NAS shares just fine. They are added to /etc/mtab which is a list of mounted filesystems from what I read. But when i reboot, my NAS shares are no longer mounted. Can I copy and paste the lines from /etc/mtab and paste them to the bottom of /etc/fstab and that will make them permanent or are they formatted differently? === root is now known as Guest12261 [05:24] lewix: what file and how are you trying to edit it? [05:24] /var/www/ [05:24] lewix: go into the terminal, locate your file, and run sudo chmod u+w [05:24] oh, wait [05:24] thank you [05:24] why is the default Package Manager for Ubuntu, Apt-get and not Aptitude? [05:24] brokendatapoint, to save space on the install cd [05:24] arow, you mean sudo chmod g+w [05:25] brokendatapoint, also, apt-get is not a package manager [05:25] is there a pastebin for png files? [05:25] lewix: that is a directory not a file. [05:25] it makes that much difference? [05:25] sambagirlx: imagebin [05:25] brokendatapoint, apparently. First thing I do is install aptitude [05:25] aperson: it is not? me too... [05:25] brokendatapoint, what's wrong with synaptic? [05:25] sarcarlson, what would be the best way to compare the 2 users i make to test? [05:25] vikas: if you need certain drivers for sound, if they are part of the kernel they should be loaded automatically as part of booting up. I've had trouble with my sound card being muted before. It's probably worth looking at properties in the sound menu and looking at the various sound resources it can control and how they are set [05:25] bastidrazor, i mean /var/www/foo [05:25] sambagirlx: http://imagebin.org/ [05:25] bucky, you have to use it via a gui for one [05:25] I have a broadcom 4306r2 14e4:4320, installed b43-legacy, enabled the proprietary driver, rebooted. wlan0 show sup, gets mac, and ip but can't route and it's rated @ 1Mbps. It also gives me an error with an alias in jockey.log [05:26] bucky: could not give definitive answer, just like Aptitude via CLI [05:26] lewix: okay, how are you trying to edit it? gedit, nano, vim? [05:26] thank you rww [05:26] bastidrazor, gedit [05:26] which is what aperson said [05:27] lewix: in a terminal or alt+F2 dialog type gksudo gedit /var/www/foo [05:27] brokendatapoint, i got aptitude.. let me guess.. it only installs it by default when you install synaptic [05:27] jsjgruber: I have checked everything. I went to SYSTEM>PREFERENCES> SOUNDS. There everything seems to be okk.. [05:28] bucky, no [05:28] bastidrazor, thanks i just got it now. i was reading the file permissions on linux [05:29] bucky: i do not use Synaptic unless I use the Auto Update feature, Aptitude is simple, fast, can be run remotely, so i like it [05:29] lewix: i'm not sure what you mean by that but you're welcome. [05:30] vikas: if you right click on the speaker in the panel at the top right of your screen, you can bring up sound preferences (probably the same as what you found in the menu). If you go to the hardware tag you can check for mute and test your speakers === tor is now known as Guest34868 [05:32] Does anyone here have a Linux command cheat sheet link? [05:32] Xfce4 is installed, logging in, what is the difference between an Xfce session and an Xubuntu session? [05:32] bastidrazor, thank you. can you enlighten me with the group administrator thingie because I dont get it [05:33] jsjgruber: There isn't any icon??? [05:33] Curly_Q: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-commands-cheat-sheets.html [05:33] vikas: I'm sorry. Icon for what? [05:33] bastidrazor, on a file persimission i understand that there is the owner of the file, the group and the other. and everybody but what exactly is the group [05:34] bastidrazor, and hows others different from all [05:34] Greetings >> << [05:34] Curly_Q: http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ => probably most accurate and comprehensive, IMHOO [05:34] sarcarlson, i have looked in /etc/passwd and found adduser:x:1004:1005:,,,:/home/adduser:/bin/bash [05:34] useradd:x:1005:1004::/home/useradd:/bin/sh [05:34] Nice tip. I found one at: http://www.digilife.be/quickreferences/QRC/The%20One%20Page%20Linux%20Manual.pdf [05:34] jsjgruber: the icon for the speakers in top right.... [05:34] Thanks. [05:35] Hi ! some one has ekiga voip software installed and 2 minutes ???? [05:35] Curly_Q: De rien [05:35] the differences are obvios but it means nothing to me :S [05:35] Why is it that even though I save the xorg.conf that the nvidia settings app makes, I still can't use 2 monitors? [05:35] Anyone know how I can configure themes in gdm? The gdm in 10.10 has no theme capability. Why was that removed? [05:36] lewix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions will explain better than i. [05:36] thanks [05:36] thejackal: have you tried setting up multiple monitors through the nvidia-settings gui [05:36] gdm-config is gone, rep;laced by a generic 'gdmsetup', which has no themeing [05:36] setuid: because it was re-writen [05:36] xangua, gutted is more like it [05:36] xangua, 90% of the functionality was stripped out [05:36] you should have an icon that looks like a speaker with sound waves coming out of it at the top right of your screen. It doesn't matter, though it is the same as the sound menu under "preferences" if you go there and go to the hardware tab you can check the mute setting and volume and you can press the test button to bring up the speaker test [05:37] mmm hi again am really new to ubuntu and am having a problem with a micro ds card , i formated it and put some files on it then i took it out and put it back in and i can't put any new files on it says "error the destination is read only" [05:37] yes I saved it and then i reset x and it reverted back to the old version [05:37] anyone know why upgrading to Gnome 3 freezes my computer? [05:37] bastidrazor, its what i read it doesnt explain the difference [05:37] someone please help me figure out why my numpad is doing everything BUT typing numbers! [05:37] it's doing some funky stuff, that's for sure [05:37] is still theameble, just not that way setuid [05:37] jsjgruber: ok [05:37] NetriX_: because gnome 3 is not still launched D: are you fron the future¿ [05:37] Tehbaut- is it a zboard or merc? [05:37] Thanks brokendatapoint. Good link. [05:38] anyone? [05:39] Philippe: is your sd cards one of there that has a lock button¿ [05:39] what is the name of the dvd burner [05:39] i see.. I was just wondering because I seen a Youtube video and a guy had it installed on ubuntu 10.10 [05:39] mmm how do you say in english, slider¿¿ [05:39] I followed his instructions and got a frozen screen [05:39] daniel_ brasero¿ [05:39] no is a micro sd [05:39] its* [05:40] xangua, so how do I configure them? [05:40] jsjgruber: I have checked everything. Nothing is mute. I have put sound to highest level in it & now my speakers are also at highest level. still no sound. [05:40] i meant ripper [05:40] sry [05:40] hey guys pls tell me how to copy text from vi [05:40] vikas: do you know how to bring up and use the command line? [05:40] hey guys pls tell me how to copy text from vi editor to clipboard, no gui only command line [05:40] santhosh: "*yy [05:40] setuid: you can change the gtk themes and other stuff; can't remember how to but i find out in google [05:40] If the command shutdown r-5 is entered does the BIOS need to be preset for that? [05:40] lewix: all does not exist as a permission. permissions are 1 of 3 things: owner group or other. other means anyone who is not an owner or in the group. [05:41] no, please tell me, if you can? [05:41] santhosh: Assuming you mean vim, I don't think plain vi can do it. [05:41] oh [05:41] i meant vi [05:41] xangua, it's not the gtk theme... I need to theme gdm, not gtk [05:41] can i get vim thro sudo apt-get vim [05:41] In other words in sleep mode? [05:42] xangua: no it doesnt have a lock button [05:42] santhosh: if you are in a terminal window in a regular session you can simply hightlight what you want to copy and use the drop down menu of the terminal program. [05:42] santhosh: sudo apt-get install vim [05:42] xangua: hey do you speak spanish? [05:42] * setuid finds "ubuntu-tweak" and instralls that [05:42] guys am running a server here [05:42] so theres not terminal [05:43] only plain command line not even mouse pointer to select [05:43] Hey wazap [05:43] and ctrl arraw doesnt selecgt text too [05:43] Hey IR === IR5273 is now known as Apocalypsepony [05:43] santhosh, and?

[05:43] santhosh, Most of us run Linux like that [05:43] vikas: first go to Applications->Accessories->Terminal [05:43] Philippe: yes, for¿ [05:43] bastidrazor, how can a file belong to a user group [05:44] jbjgruber: I'm there.. [05:44] santhosh, sudo apt-get install vim [05:44] setuid: im a newbie to linux server [05:44] hi all [05:44] and i am not able to do all thse command line programs [05:44] Hey Ray,, whats up? [05:44] xangua: le seria mas facil explicarme en español? por q a mi si [05:44] santhosh: type vimtutor ..it will explain everything you need to learn. [05:44] bucky: i have vim now [05:44] not much..u? [05:44] bastidrazor, i understand that a file belongs to a user, but how can it belong to a group [05:44] lewix: reading that page will explain permissions. [05:44] That new window is where you can enter commands. Please try alsaplay -l [05:45] bastidrazor: for a newb, do you think Vi/Vim is the *best* editor to use? [05:45] same.. pretty much lol [05:45] Philippe: /join #ubuntu-es [05:45] Hi all, Is anyone able to tell me how to get rid of the damn ExecutableBit? [05:45] vimulator command not found [05:45] This is the cyber police. You dun goof'd. bill gates has back traced you and reported you to us. What did you guys do now? [05:45] been playing with ubuntu for a couple days and i love it... [05:45] brokendatapoint: if they do the vimtutor then yes, vim is very great for a new user. [05:45] brokendatapoint, for a genuine new user? Nano. [05:45] guys can some one direct me to any link where i can learn basic text operations like cut copy and paste in pure command line pls [05:45] Michael4552, go attempt to be funny elsewhere, please. [05:45] xangua: ohhhh i didnt knew that thank you [05:45] Madpilot: my thoughs exactly [05:45] I hear ya.. I dropped Windows 7 2 days ago and started ubuntu meerkat [05:45] thoughts* even [05:46] Got the infamous blue screen [05:46] CLI is interesting enough without trying to drive Vi/Vim [05:47] jbjgruber: then [05:47] ubottu, tell santhosh about cli [05:47] santhosh, please see my private message [05:47] That's a "no" then? [05:47] did it display anything? it should give you a list of devices you could play a sound on [05:47] santhosh, if you install gpm you'll get a cursor you can cut and paste with [05:47] Madpilot: wd [05:47] brokendatapoint, wd? [05:47] jbjgruber: i have typed - alsaplay -| [05:47] Madpilot: i dont have menus or accessories menus or naything its a server version [05:48] bucky: do i get cursor in server version [05:48] how to install gpm [05:48] Madpilot: Well Done [05:48] vikas: that should be alsaplay -l (it is a dash followed immediately by a lower case l [05:48] sudo apt-get install gpm? [05:48] santhosh: My recommendation is to ssh into the machine from another computer. [05:48] yes [05:48] santhosh, there's links to further reading at the URLs the bot just sent you, check them. [05:48] Brokendatapoint I have found that GVIM is quite the program with a GUI in mind. vi is OK for SSH or remote logging in. [05:48] KirkMcDonald: that is waht im doing [05:48] bucky: if santhosh is asking about getting a cursor, oh dear [05:48] so far so good! I didnt realize how easy to install x86 & x64 Ubunta Desktop on my laptop and desktop pc... [05:48] santhosh: then skip how to get to a terminal/CLI and read the bits about using CLI [05:48] KirkMcDonald: i am using windows 7 and using the git bash to ssh into the linux server [05:49] santhosh: I recommend PuTTY as a Windows ssh client. [05:49] Then i shall leave you with the wonderful words FUCK YOU EXECUTABLEBIT!!! [05:49] brokendatapoint, you've always got to install gpm to get a cursor in a console [05:49] !language | RickyT [05:49] RickyT: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [05:49] hi guys [05:50] What's the hotkey to show hidden folders? [05:50] I typed L in small letters after dash(-) but its saying : alsaplay: command not found. [05:50] hey [05:50] bucky: i know but he needs some CLI learning first, any ways [05:50] KirkMcDonald have you tried Tectia SSH? I use it and it cost but it is fantastic. [05:50] hilarie: in nautilus: ctrl H [05:50] my teacher put ubuntu on my school computer [05:50] vikas: oh dear. just a second [05:50] but im not a super user [05:50] @bastidrazor TY! [05:50] Ray, did you receive my personal message? [05:50] Curly_Q: Never heard of it. [05:50] is there anyway to upgrade my account [05:50] Check it out. [05:50] hilarie: you're welcome [05:50] or find out the password for his? [05:50] brokendatapoint: i ve working in CLI's for a long time with just commands and cron jobs [05:50] jsjgruber: okk [05:50] without him knowing? [05:51] It is a Windows app that works great with Linux. [05:51] Sina3, a existing superuser can upgrade another user. And please don't ask about "hacking" here, OK? [05:51] I think they have a Linux app too. [05:51] brokendatapoint: its just strange to know that a total console can have a mouse cursor [05:51] santhosh: yes it is but handy and weird enough to be *fun* [05:51] It also works with tunneling. [05:51] Sina3: They would, of course, be able to check your rights at any point, unless you were to revert your account prior to any opportunity they would have to access the machine. [05:52] vikas: I'm sorry. My memory isn't so good. Does aplay -l give you anything? [05:52] nexes, i dont think he would check [05:52] How can I open a read only file GUI like? The way I am doing it currently is "sudo gedit" and then find through its built in menu, what I would like to do is right click the text file I am trying to edit [05:52] brokendatapoint: im getting an error gpm installation E:sub-process usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1) [05:52] Sina3, i had a cisco instructor that forgot to change the default root passwd [05:52] Sina3: Is it a school issue machine? [05:52] jsjgruber: no buddy, it said alsaplay: command not found. [05:52] nexes, yes it is [05:52] hello anyone know hot to deal with permisions on an micro sd card? [05:53] bucky, stuff like that would be another reason Ubuntu has no active root account... [05:53] santhosh: you are in a terminal or a console? [05:53] but i asked him to put ubuntu on it [05:53] Sina3: Why specifically do you want root on it? [05:53] hilarie: not good isea using sudo with a graphic aplication, use gksu instead [05:53] console [05:53] brokendatapoint: console [05:53] nexes, install google chrome [05:53] and other usefull programs. [05:53] vikas: could you try aplay -l instead? it should be aplay, not alsaplay. [05:53] nothing bad. [05:53] k, type this cmd and start fresh => cd && clear [05:53] Philippe: Which filesystem is on there? If it's FAT (which I would expect) there wouldn't really be any permissions. [05:53] Madpilot, what's the default passwd for ubuntu if you make one during install? [05:53] im 15 and i like the computer i use, i dont want to break it [05:53] vikas: sorry for misleading you with the alsaplay thing. [05:53] GKSU so I would do "gksu gedit"? [05:54] Sina3: I would just ask him to either install the applications for you, or to set up the machine in a way to allow you to install software without having unrestricted root access. [05:54] Madpilot, *dont' make one [05:54] hi [05:54] yes fat so i dont know what happende i took it out and now i cant put anything in it [05:54] bucky, there is no default PW. The liveCD/desktop is passwordless, the install will not continue AFAIK if you don't give it a pw [05:54] Hey i have a new question how can I delete the xorg.conf [05:54] jbjgruber: ya, it worked.. :D [05:54] QUESTION:after closing apt-get by pressing ctrl-z its still running in the background as is visible form system monitor its still downloading is there any way to stop it [05:54] brokendatapoint: im still getting the same error [05:54] nexes, how do i do that? [05:54] how i can in chinese channel? [05:54] jabjgruber: oh not issue.. [05:54] thejackal: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:54] thauriswulfa2: You can use the 'fg' command to bring it back. [05:54] nexes can we PM? [05:54] i could format it again dont know if that would help? [05:55] thauriswulfa2: Then quit it.

There are alphas out of 11.04 if you're feeling very brave. This early in the alpha releases, I gather the brokenness is epic.

[06:53] teh still dont work [06:53] col0ur: i played with it long enough to know it wasnt for me. [06:53] Blue1, Unity replaces? [06:53] col0ur: gnome or kde [06:53] ubuser, in the terminal, type "firefox" (no quotes) - what happens? [06:53] col0ur, traditional gnome [06:53] no command [06:53] ah [06:53] so just try the regular version you're saying? [06:53] not a command* [06:54] col0ur, yep [06:54] col0ur: if your looking for the traditional interface, yes [06:54] ubuser, whats the exact error [06:54] bazhang, well see there's a problem with that [06:54] bash: firefox: command not found [06:55] ubuser, "sudo apt-get install firefox" will get it back [06:55] having to use epiphany [06:55] ubuser, open the package manager and install it then [06:55] any other suggestions [06:55] completely deleted them [06:55] and reinstalled [06:55] i have a Broadcom card. i need to modprobe wl to make it work, which is fine. and earlier, as i had a casper on my netbook remix version, and so i connected to a wired connection, got the module, and used it for my wireless. [06:55] took a minute to get my repositories yayness. [06:56] ubuser: have you tried sudo dpkg -i firefox [06:56] ubuser, you shouldn't have to do anything to the repositories to get Firefox back again. === richard is now known as richardr [06:56] but for a number of reasons i have no access to a wired connection atm, and so i'd be left without internet for a time, and thus wouldn't be able to update. [06:56] i know i just got teh net [06:56] Also, does selecting "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" from the Netbook Remix login window revert back to Gnome? [06:56] error processing firefox cannot access archive [06:57] no such file or directory with th dpkg [06:57] ubuser, have you done something to your repositories listings? Firefox is in Main... [06:57] no i downloaded them [06:57] i mean [06:57] it was on the computer, but i went to download the flash players, and they werent working [06:58] ubuser, you downloaded Firefox from the web? A .deb file? [06:58] If i don't have 3d support that means I need to upgrade my graphics driver correct? [06:58] What basic commands does Disk Utility (palimpsest) use to arrive at a judgement like: "Drive is functional"? [06:58] so i went online and there was this thing you had to do with a lot of commands and some guy made a script, i checked out the codes, and it deleted my firefox, and his link wasnt good and it isnt installing back [06:58] yeah i asked for the link lol [06:58] ubuser, what script give us a link [06:58] umm alright [06:59] ubuser, the apt-get command I gave you should reinstall firefox. I think you've done more damage to your install than just deleting FF [07:00] bazhang, Blue1, see above [07:00] i need help adding a win7 entry to grub2 [07:00] chaospsychex, check the grub2 instructions yet? [07:01] can you make live cd/usb out of win7? [07:01] ill try it again.. [07:01] Sc0tt, try in ##windows [07:01] yeah and i cant make heads or tails out of it [07:01] but still my shortcut is sayin it isnt there maybe this script changed the place or something [07:01] was just curios why he's adding it to grub [07:01] chaospsychex, explain exactly what you can't understand [07:01] col0ur: i dont know honestly -- I know if you go with the default, I tried to install trad. gnome AFTER installing the netbook remix, and all I got was unity [07:01] I have setup ntp server 10.04 on 3 machijnes here. All three have different times, whu would that be. I understood that they should all 3 display that same time.. [07:01] i have it installed [07:01] for some reason it's gone from the menu [07:01] ubuser, please give us a link to this script you ran. It really sounds like it broke more than just Firefox. [07:02] sudo update-grub is not detecting it like it should either [07:02] Hello. Which command is to install audio and video codecs? [07:02] chaospsychex: tell me what happened? is grub broke or? [07:02] sorry was awk for a bit [07:03] faryshta: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ::this normally installs everything needed [07:03] I have setup ntp server 10.04 on 3 machines here. All three have different times, why would that be. I understood that they should all 3 display that same time.. [07:03] Blue1, and what about the Broadcom module? [07:03] its not broke,the windows entry is just not there after a restart for some reason [07:03] chaospsychex: you can try rebuiling it, i have link just a min [07:04] maybe ill find the link [07:04] sounds like a virus [07:04] Thanks bastidrazor [07:04] chaospsychex: this MIGHT work. YMMV applies: http://pkill-9.com/?p=314 [07:05] ubuser, running random scripts you find on the web... not the greatest thing to do. It doesn't have to be a "virus" if you ran it yourself... [07:05] faryshta: you're welcome. [07:05] idk jus sayin [07:06] if i have a symbolic link that points to a file called "test.html" and i move the "test.html" file to another folder, will the symbolic link still work? [07:06] it had the file, and it deleted firefox [07:06] yay found itno [07:06] inktri: no, you'll need to remake the link to the actual location of the file. [07:06] not like i had history [07:07] inktri: because symlinks are tied to the physical locan [07:07] ok thanks [07:07] been there, done that! [07:07] Blue1, is there anything I can do about the Broadcom? [07:07] col0ur: wlan ? [07:07] Blue1, yes wifi [07:07] ubuser, you found a link to this script? [07:08] Any idea what it takes to get my graphics card working properly? I tried upgrading my card and every step of the way I have errors not even sure if the guide is the correct one [07:08] how do i add a menu entry to grub if i have the UUID of the partition i want to boot to? [07:08] col0ur: ahh my friend had problems with that.... [07:08] ya [07:09] Blue1, before i installed it on my caper on my USB when i had access to a wired connection. but for a number of reasons i dont have a wired connection atm, and so if I redid my USB with the regular version i wouldn't have access to that module until i get a wired conection which could be a while [07:09] erm Blue11 [07:10] guess I'll ask another day [07:10] col0ur: i think this is the link he used: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear [07:10] Blue11: "Wired Internet access on the machine with the wireless card on it, in " [07:10] :P [07:10] i dont have that [07:11] col0ur: search for that on yahoo or google would be my recommendation sorry. [07:11] Blue11: alright thanks anyway :) === satamusic-1 is now known as satamusic [07:11] Blue11: one more question: will making a Live USB in Ubuntu wipe it? [07:12] col0ur: iirc there is an option to format it. [07:12] but you dont have to? [07:12] alright thanks [07:12] ubuser, got the script? [07:12] col0ur: honestly - don't know it has been since 10.04 that I did it (a year ago) and I just formatted.

[07:17] mohddzulffiqar which software you wanna to install [07:17] ? [07:17] minefield...do you know that software?? [07:17] mohddzulffiqar, Ubuntu uses repositories, so you don't usually have to download random stuff off websites... [07:17] Blue11: I've had to do that method before, when i installed win7 after ubuntu. Could you explain what that exactly does? why would i have to re-install grub2 to the MBR if the entry just dissapeared [07:18] i haven't re-installed windows [07:18] nothing has changed [07:18] mohddzulffiqar, there's enough differences between Ubuntu and Xubuntu that you really should ask on #xubuntu [07:18] oic... [07:18] hehe.. [07:18] all i did was delete a ntfs partition i was storing files on for backup [07:19] What was the equivalent to sudo that you should use in GUI programs?

[08:44] Gordonjcp I'm in a high school amateur club, just starting to crawl, so we have all the software on windoze. I'm looking for a QSO logger/lookup, world pushpin map, and an SSTV encoder [08:44] or just that sudo is not developped so it autocomplete [08:46] fmanach sudo should work fine, considering it only does one function [08:46] hidnshadows: this is exactly my opinion [08:46] !info qsstv | hidnshadows [08:46] hidnshadows: qsstv (source: qsstv): Qt-based slow-scan TV and fax.

[08:47] Is it a good idea to use ext4 as filesystem for an external usb hdd? [08:47] KB1JWQ, every 20 seconds or so, I see this: jdb2/sda1-8 take up 99.99% of the io. I don't understand so much of it, but something similar was raised here: http://superuser.com/questions/101640/disk-operations-freeze-debian [08:48] <_`-`> natrixnatrix89: depends where it's used I guess [08:48] kt_: ah yes, it needs to be 'chainloader +1', not 'chainloader+1' [08:48] kt_: it needs space to work right [08:48] _`-`: what do you mean? [08:48] oh ok [08:48] natrixnatrix89, it depends, what are you trying to do with it? [08:48] natrixnatrix89, shared with windows? [08:48] <_`-`> windows won't read an ext4 filesystem, so if you're only working with linux environments it should be fine [08:48] kt_: sorry, don't know why I didn't catch that before [08:48] no. i dont do windows.. [08:49] so it wont crash? [08:49] Hi everyone [08:49] <_`-`> i'd imagine not :p not every USB device is the same though [08:49] bazhang: i have a FAT partition for use with windows.. [08:50] natrixnatrix89, what about files larger than 4GB [08:50] bazhang: bad. I put them on ext4 partition.. [08:50] it is so confusing.. macs dont read ntfs [08:51] so there is no universal fs for all os's? [08:51] lol [08:51] anyone know of a straight forward tutorial on how to set up a mailserver from scratch with virtual mailboxes and non linux user accounts? [08:51] because fat has the limit of 4 gb [08:51] ntfs does not work on a mac [08:51] but ext does not wor on win.. [08:52] its like... they don't want you to be able to use other people's products... [08:52] deal with the 4 gig limit [08:52] <_`-`> lol [08:52] pylix: id rather use ext and stick without windows and mac.. [08:53] hello, I would like to update my kvm/qemu installation in my karmic, is there any unofficial ppa for it ? [08:53] the 4 gig thing is not a huge limitation === bonzai_pete is now known as hard_up [08:54] pylix: nowadays it is.. because usually all the br movies are bigger than 4 gb [08:54] now it says no such partition, error [08:54] lol ;\ [08:54] what now, Gnea? :( [08:54] split the file [08:54] then transfer it in peices [08:55] pylix: but then i cant put it on a usb and plug it in my tv and watch..

[08:57] yes [08:57] 1 physical hard disk [08:57] kt_: hd2 would be a 3rd physical hard disk [08:57] lol ok [08:57] so what c hanges should i do this time [08:58] kt_: so, let's try this: comment out "insmod bsd" so it looks like "#insmod bsd" [08:58] done [08:58] kt_: then change the "set root=(hd0,bsd)" to "set root=(hd0,2)" [08:58] now ?

Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it.

[09:02] ok [09:02] I'm unable to watch videos at all because it freezes every 30 seconds. at least. [09:02] I really should install pcbsd someday [09:02] sqaures look like ascii [09:03] i have opened it [09:03] now ? [09:03] kt_: uncomment #insmod bsd and change it to : insmod ufs2 [09:03] any suggestions?

[09:03] ok [09:04] Gnea, I'll try. jdb2 appears for less than a second [09:04] ramontayag: huh? [09:05] I can't see internal mobile broadband SIM. Before updating I could use it. VAIO VGN-Z11WN [09:05] Gnea, how I know that it's jdb2 that's causing this is through iotop [09:06] That's what you wanted to see, right? The screenshot of jdb2 process hogging the disk io? [09:06] ramontayag: what are you talking about? why can't you just post a screenshot? [09:06] er [09:06] loros: screenshot? [09:06] ramontayag: sorry [09:06] again it says no such partition [09:06] lol [09:06] Gnea, oh [09:06] if anyone has heard of the game "black shades"... i'm stuck trying to make it and it stops saying "/home/furi/blackshades/blackshades/Source/Textures.cpp:26: undefined reference to `IMG_Load' "... any help?

[09:08] !screenshot | loros [09:08] done [09:08] now ? reboot again? [09:08] Anyone come across ext4/jdb2 problems? I'm wondering if I should nuke this disk and move to ext3 instead. [09:08] kt_: don't forget the update, yes [09:09] my ubuntu terminal works fine it is my brothers that has the problem and I cannot get a screenshot [09:09] he is interstae [09:10] loros: oh. I really have no idea. [09:10] no good [09:10] same error, no such partition [09:10] kt_: ugh! [09:10] now what, Gnea? :( [09:11] okay thanks Gnea [09:11] kt_: pastebinit the grub.cfg [09:11] looks like a reinstall [09:11] ok whats the command again [09:11] for pastebiniting it [09:11] might be the go [09:11] loros: well, if he can't get on here, then probably [09:12] kt_: cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | pastebinit [09:12] will se what I can do [09:12] http://pastebin.com/BKiuXBvm [09:12] hi [09:13] <_`-`> hm, so if i hit ctrl-alt-f6, and start irssi through ssh, is there a way to sort of 'pop out' and execute other commands? like another tab [09:13] kt_: okay, just for fun, change "set root=(hd0,ufs1)" to "set root=(hd0,ufs)" [09:14] kt_: and try that [09:14] ok [09:14] and ufs in insmod also? [09:14] _`-`: what are you trying to do? [09:14] kt_: no [09:15] kt_: leave insmod alone [09:16] <_`-`> probably nothing logical, but if i was in ctrl-alt-f6 (surely there's another name for this) and currently using irssi through ssh, how could i, for example, grep without logging out of ssh or going back to my graphical desktop? [09:18] _`-`: the name would be "the 6th console terminal" and you could avoid logout issues remotely by using screen on the remote end [09:18] Hello [09:18] i installed grub2 than reboot to check if it`s working and it was fine than sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy and prompt we in with device to install it and i select /dev/sda1 ( not sure) and then i reboot and get grub loading error 15 === vincent is now known as Guest55942 === Guest55942 is now known as VF_123 [09:18] <_`-`> Gnea: i am using screen, but i mean grep on my local machine :p [09:18] <_`-`> for curiosity's sake. [09:19] _`-`: again, that makes no sense. [09:19] !hdmi | breaker313 [09:19] again same error man [09:19] no such partition ;/ [09:19] kt_: okay, change insmod ufs1 back to insmod ufs2 [09:19] Hi, does anyone know how to setup a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) [09:19] kt_: rinse, repeat [09:20] !broadcom | VF_123 [09:20] VF_123: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [09:20] I know [09:20] I followed those steps [09:20] then please explain the error [09:20] rinse repeat? [09:20] marklor [09:20] I can connect for about 5 minutes after boot [09:20] kt_: aye, save/quit, update-grub2, reboot [09:20] then I lose connection, and I have to reboot [09:21] !sound | breaker313 [09:21] breaker313: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[09:21] VF_123: what are you using to connect with? network manager or wicd? [09:21] How does one check which display driver the machine is using? [09:21] people i would like to remove the entire username and password based auth mechanism from my server and implement key based, how can i ? i read about rsa based but that only allows ssh and not the gui mode is it ? [09:21] what would be the right approach for me to consider ? [09:21] in set root [09:21] what should i type? [09:22] ufs or ufs1 or ufs2 ? [09:22] Wicd in the tray [09:22] raviepic3: what you read is correct. [09:22] in insmod its ufs2 now === flone_ is now known as flone [09:22] kt_: leave set root alone [09:22] Gnea, so how would i enable key based auth for other forms of login as well ?> like GUI mode [09:22] ? [09:22] ok [09:22] Does anyone who uses WeeChat know how I can get a channel list on the left side that shows the chanels I am in [09:22] it's a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install Gnea [09:22] VF_123: and you're sure network manager has been completely disabled? [09:22] How do I check that? [09:22] raviepic3: are you talking about using a key-card? [09:23] VF_123: by checking the process list [09:23] gunndawg: oddly enough, a #weechat does exist :) [09:23] Gnea, dont know what a key card is, when googled getting weird results [09:23] kindly educate me [09:24] Gnea yeah but they offered only "read the FAQ" which I did look over [09:24] kt_: Gnea: The device names you are using are completely invalid. They need to be something like (hd0,a) or (hd0,msdos1,bsd1), and if you really don't have any BSD bootloader installed then chainloader won't do you any good. [09:24] raviepic3: a card that you swipe through a card reader connected to the computer to use in lieu of a password [09:24] gunndawg: then tell them the FAQ didn't cover it [09:24] Gnea, no no, similar to rsa for all auth mechanisms [09:25] Gnea: based off prior experience (not saying all) with trying to get ubuntu help on irc I'll get the response "look harder" [09:25] Jordan_U: ugh, and here I thought I could depend upon ubuntuforums [09:25] I think it is disabled Gnea [09:25] Gnea: instead of actual help [09:25] I only see wicd [09:25] #banjarnegara [09:25] Gnea, like when system starts it should ask to paste the key contents instead of username and password [09:26] and if the contents match allow him/her [09:26] no methods like these ? [09:26] how can I mark files on fuse drives executable ? (i.e. tweak the default mount permissions) [09:26] Gnea: See /usr/share/doc/grub-common/examples/grub.cfg for example entries for various OSs. [09:26] gunndawg: keep in mind that the help you're looking for is with a specific application, which could be ran from slackware or redhat, thus it is distribution independent and the help channel for that application is the best place to ask, even if some of the people there aren't knowledgable [09:26] Ok it *seems* that the current stable kernel still have some journaling problems with some hard disks. I'm on ext4 - should I move to ext3? For those that didn't see my earlier messages: in iotop, every 20-30 seconds jdb2/sda1-8 pops up with 99.99% disk usage. it slows down my system and is really annoying. Been reading around and there seems to be so many solutions I don't know where to start. And I don't understand most of them. What should I do? [09:26] raviepic3: that doesn't make any sense, at all. [09:27] Gnea, why ? [09:27] If my questions are too technical for this room, where should I go? [09:27] ramontayag: what's the question? === _Dotted is now known as Dotted [09:28] ramontayag: nobody answered your question because nobody cares [09:28] Gnea: You may need to "insmod part_bsd" (So that grub will recognise BSD partition tables). Running "ls -l" at the grub shell can be usefull as well. [09:28] Switch, in iotop, every 20-30 seconds jdb2/sda1-8 pops up with 99.99% disk usage. it slows down my system and is really annoying. Been reading around and there seems to be so many solutions I don't know where to start. And I don't understand most of them. What should I do? [09:28] raviepic3: because it provides no logical method of passing the information from the user interface to the computer. [09:28] Switch, yeah I wasn't sure if I was in the right room :) [09:28] ramontayag: I don [09:29] ramontayag: I don't know of any where else [09:29] Switch: you've been warned. [09:29] Switch, http://superuser.com/questions/101640/disk-operations-freeze-debian has a similar problem but it seems particular to his hard disk. I'm on a seagate 1tb. [09:29] Gnea, what are the methods i can handle to avoid dos and ddos attacks in my server ? [09:29] Jordan_U: yeah, that's what we were trying with insmod bsd [09:29] hi...can someone recommened me a iso burner for ubuntu? [09:29] except for switching it off :) [09:29] Gnea: It's "part_bsd". [09:29] raviepic3: setting up a firewall, for starters [09:29] where is apt.conf at? [09:30] !firewall | raviepic3 [09:30] raviepic3: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in.

I looked in /boot/grub/ and found no part_bsd.mod [09:32] Switch, i also read using ext3 instead. but that would mean half a day of setting my the desktop again. but it seems it's my only option [09:32] Gnea: Then you must be using a very old version of GRUB2. If you're using anything older than 1.98 you should definitely upgrade.' [09:33] soreau: sorry to bother you....i did 'sudo apt-get install k3b' unable to locate package k3b. where do i update?

Its safer to use a ppa than build from source or at least, the likelyhood of you managing to screw up your system into an unrepairable state is less [10:06] soreau: i didnt do anything with the ppa [10:07] linux: if you didn't try, then no one needs to help you. [10:07] linux: right, I know. So remove the old version and install the one from source correctly? [10:07] linux: Just my two cents, but those patches are usually created by people who need it for work as well.

[10:08] jussi, ahh I wouldn't have a clue I'm afraid, have you also tried asking this on the ubuntu support forums as well? [10:08] jussi: For the open driver you want radeon (the default), not radeonhd (discontinued) [10:09] soreau: yeah, I just don't appreciate it when people come in here and expect us to do all of the legwork for them and then they throw a hissy-fit when they expect us to go above-and-beyond because they don't have any patience.

[10:42] david__: No, the Xorg file I understand... but the Xorg.0.log file shows that the kernel itself cannot do that feature. I need to know what lightweight distro can.

[11:06] barbadillo: with a backup [11:07] Fuchs, don't have a backup [11:07] sipior, do you know if that needs to be used with a -L or something? I tried just adding --safe-links to my prior command and no change. [11:07] barbadillo: every other way (such as changing the sources list and then downgrading) is not recommended at all [11:07] barbadillo: unfortunately, there's no real way to revert to an older version. [11:07] barbadillo: well, you could make one of your home and parts of etc, then intall the older version, put the backup back and pray that it works [11:07] Every time I have to enter my password to allow a program to run with sudo privileges, there is a grey overlay over my desktop - how can i deactivate that?

[11:09] nicofs: ah, that's gksudo then, not sudo [11:09] repgahroll: Edit this to personalize it for your machine, sudo mkdir /media/sda2 && sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 this is a way to mount a filesystem on another partition of the same HDD, 1st you create a directory to mount the filesystem to, then mount it to that directory [11:09] so weechat was no help, does anyone know how to access the key bindings for terminal ? [11:09] Fuchs, yes, you're right... [11:10] nicofs: run gksudo with the -g parameter [11:10] nicofs: it should help [11:10] Fuchs, and how do i implement that with all programs in the menu? [11:10] ZykoticK9: shouldn't do, no. you cleaned out the target folder, so that -u has no effect? [11:10] anyone knows program Pykaraoke ? [11:10] nicofs: you could set up an alias [11:11] milen8204: no, and i suspect from the name that i will be pleased to remain ignorant in this regard :-) [11:11] nicofs: or, the method I don't really like: rename the gksudo binary, create a script named gksudo which executes gksudo -g instead [11:11] Fuchs, rename gksudo and write a script to run that renamed gksudo with the -g option? [11:11] fdsaseemslegit, thanks, but i'm mounting a virtual box shared folder, and i need to set its permission 777, because i can only write it using root. [11:11] hello ubuntu people [11:11] sipior, why ? [11:11] Fuchs, and what would that alias thing be? [11:12] nicofs: that's something that would work, but I don't like it [11:12] nicofs: you can create command aliases in your loginshell rc (probably ~/.bashrc for you), I think ubuntu even comes with a default .bashrc_alias or so [11:12] I tried to set to hear my microphone trough my speakers and have no success [11:13] nicofs: unfortunately I only have german documentation at hand for it, but you will find something with a search engine such as google for sure [11:13] Does anyone know how to find the key bindings for terminal? [11:13] or at least a way to let commom users mount filesystems [11:13] Fuchs, i'll stick with the script then... doesn't bashrc only get executed when i open a terminal? [11:13] Fuchs, i can work with German documentation *g* [11:13] nicofs: syntax would be alias gksudo="gksudo -g" [11:14] repgahroll: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974627 [11:14] where is the services manager in ubunutu [11:14] need to see if i have to check mysql [11:14] Hi all, I am getting this message while installing softwares on ubuntu, how di I escaoe this message, please help :http://uploadpic.org/storage/originals/sjfj3e3ejju2s83fsnff2senlj.png [11:14] mattwj2002: ok I created a user with useradd and was able to login to my proftp with that user, what is it you can't do in these accounts?

I have heard some distros do their own cleanup, I suppose ubuntu doesn't do any [11:55] APERSON: that doesn't mean that it doesn't do it [11:55] APERSON: the point, at the end of the day, is that you shouldn't rely on files staying there [11:56] ne2k, I'm not, but I *am* relying on them at least being there a specific period [11:56] fdsaseemslegit: I am testing links in weechat to see if I can make it so the links dont break if they reach more tha one line [11:56] APERSON: like how long?

[11:58] funeralfog: if you're not sure what to do, I'd recommend you visit #bash, read the tutorials in their topic there, and then ask anything you're still not sure about. You're making some very basic errors though and reading through the tutorial there will help you a lot [11:58] ne2k, thanks much [11:58] APERSON: but, to be honest, I wouldn't rely on it. I'd put them somewhere else [11:58] svip: are you trying to restore defaults? [11:58] APERSON: what is this for, anyway? [11:59] fdsaseemslegit: I was.

I'm scheduling it to render my map and was curious if I could throw my cache dir in /var/tmp or if I have to use another location [12:00] seventoes: no... But note the root account is locked by default on ubuntu so your question is a bit strange [12:00] jrib: backup crons and ownship issues [12:00] APERSON: why you ever want a cache dir to be automatically cleaned by the OS? Surely the application should take care of that itself [12:00] svip: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop, or just backup everything you want to save and reinstall the enitre OS.

[12:02] Which apparently is a widely unknown message. [12:02] fdsaseemslegit: All I know is I was trying to compile gimp myself. [12:02] APERSON: exactly, that's what I'm saying. you shouldn't put it in a tmp directory because it's not meant to be ephemeral, it's meant to be persistent. and when it should be cleaned/refreshed is up to the application, not to the OS [12:03] ne2k, I'll probably just throw it in my ~/.cache - I appreciate the information [12:03] hello, how can i download a from a webserver through another computer.

[14:04] codemagician: you can also just use "xdg-open file.pdf", then it will be like you double clicked on a pdf [14:04] I'm not seeing it under places [14:04] abhijain: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu << [14:05] abhijain: you would need "universe". Afterwards you should be able to install netbeans [14:05] Fuchs, i did a grep ERR in /var/log/messages but nothing there ... should i check for smt else there ? [14:05] is it a good idea to use ntpdate on server? [14:05] psykasso: could you pastebin the whole thing?

[14:07] greppy it's not, I try: echo "hello"; [14:07] Fuchs, just a sec for firefox to open .... urgh ..... [14:07] hi, can i install ubuntu without having to install the bootloader? [14:08] greppy: and enter, and I get nothing in return [14:08] lol, uh oh.... i'm still running the other firmware... [14:08] s0ullight, why would you [14:08] that may have somethin to do with it [14:08] itsme2011: actually, it's odd that the value in /etc/ppp/options gets ignored. if you run the pppoe config utility, does an error appear concerning mtu? === hsa2 is now known as zz_hsa2 [14:08] lduros: try ENTER, then hit ctrl-d [14:08] greppy: I'm just trying to use the php interpreter as I would with python or irb [14:08] bazhang, i dont want to overwrite the windows bootloader [14:08] jetboyjetgirl: shouldn't matter either way, perhaps you just need to mount it manually [14:08] s0ullight, its a trifle to reinstall grub [14:09] sipior: Yes, my "etc/network/interfaces" has an entry for MTU, I have pasted the owl file, please check [14:09] lduros: it's not really designed to work that way, python and irb are designed to work that way. [14:09] ok, thanks for the help.... gonna try a couple things [14:09] greppy: it worked -- so you have to exit the command to have it executed? [14:09] lduros: yes. [14:09] greppy: It kinda sucks, I thought it would be an interactive interpreter :-) [14:09] bazhang, i actually can install the bootloader separetly, i want to install it on the bootsector of the partition, but there is a bug in the ubuntu installer. [14:09] itsme2011: i guess i meant, enable the interface properly in /etc/network/interfaces. [14:09] s0ullight, link please to the bug report [14:10] bazhang, therefore, i want to install it manually [14:10] ok sec. [14:10] greppy: reading some tutorial' [14:10] bazhang, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/614309 [14:10] greppy: it says php -a [14:10] greppy: that's the interactive interpreter sort of [14:10] sipior: No, how do I do that. I am connecting now using nm-applet, (the GUI), not using pppoeconf command anymore. [14:11] Fuchs, http://pastebin.com/wrB1KPYK [14:11] greppy: If i had read the man entry I'd prbably know that. Thanks for your help. php -a works! :-) [14:11] somehow the devs refuse to see that as a bug, but that could really affect installations [14:12] s0ullight, dual boot with windows 7? which is installed first, windows? [14:12] itsme2011: actually, is there no setting for mtu in nm-applet? [14:12] it is a netbook i bought preinstalled with win7, i dont want to mess its recovery system [14:13] itsme2011: and does mtu auto-negotiation not work for you? you got the 1460 value from your isp? [14:13] psykasso: processor and dma of the hard disk seem fine to me [14:13] psykasso: how exactly is the system slow? [14:14] Fuchs, yeah me too ... the /var/log/messages is too large should i paste the last 1000 ? [14:14] s0ullight, its been confirmed as a bug in the report, I've not experienced this myself, and its only i f you choose a custom install of grub from what I see on that bug report [14:14] psykasso: yes, why not [14:14] sipior: yes, their is, but its not working. I need to set MTU to 1460 from 1492(default). [14:14] Fuchs, it hangs on opening applications, on right clicks, on everything practically ... [14:14] itsme2011: and you got that value from...? [14:14] hai [14:14] bazhang, indeed, i want to install grub to the bootsector of the partition im installing ubuntu on, not the mbr [14:14] join #drupal [14:15] s0ullight, that being said, and you know how to install grub2 manually, what's the issue? [14:15] psykasso: having a look at ~/.xsession-errors might help as well [14:15] bazhang, cant disable the installation of the bootloader during the installation of ubuntu [14:15] i'm not able to delete a folder...when i tried,it says the error"directory not empty"...pls help [14:15] and i dont trust it [14:15] babu__, which folder [14:15] nor do I [14:15] sipior: I don't know, whether it is ISP value or Ubuntu is setting this value.

[14:19] itsme2011: hmm. well, i'd say ditch nm-applet and configure the interface the old-fashioned way that happens to actually work. have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE. not sure why the mtu setting in nm-applet wouldn't work, but for a fixed interface, there's not much point in troubling with it. [14:19] rahadian, /msg ubottu dont play here [14:19] Hello friends, I have a question: I'm testing some settings on my network, so I'm using "macchanger" so I can change my MAC Address (Wlan0), it always been working fine, but now, it changes, but after some time (say 20 mins) it suddenly changes again to the original one. This is happening in Ubuntu 10.10 because in 10.04 never happened before. Thanks for your help. [14:20] jrib: its useless in a way that any files below the directory i executed it are gone? [14:20] why means??i had installed a software in a drive other than C...i uninstalled it...but the folder is not removed...so only [14:20] babu__: are you booted into windows or ubuntu right now? [14:20] ubuntu [14:20] babu__: then you should remove from within windows [14:21] Fuchs, well the cpus seem pretty idle in htop ... should i check iostat or smt like that ? [14:21] waza-ari: *[^.] expands to all files that do not begin nor end in a '.'. So if the last thing it expands to is a directory, everything gets moved there. If it's not a directory, then mv will complain and do nothing [14:21] i tried in windows also...but in vain [14:21] psykasso: iotop, yes [14:21] babu__: as administrator [14:21] babu__: ?

[14:22] ppl [14:22] waza-ari: oh, a 3rd scenario: if it expands to only 2 files, it will rename the first thing to the last thing :) [14:22] Fuchs, here's the xsession-errors [14:22] http://pastebin.com/b04kG7Dr [14:22] waza-ari: what did you intend? [14:22] yes i did it from control panel [14:23] babu__: it's possible the program needs another step to finish removing, perhaps it has other components installed under the same name [14:23] jrib: since it was my home-dir, there where many more files. but i found them in the last remaining folder which is there :) [14:23] i can't able to install java on i got this error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/560619/ could anyone tell what's wrong ? [14:23] psykasso: nothing special in there as well (besides the fact that you are using a hack for skype video support, and a firefox plugin (probably flash) is running amok. Should not be the root cause of the problems, though. [14:23] Hello [14:23] no i checked it....one doubt why it cannot be removed from ubuntu also?? [14:23] Is there mIRC For ubuntu?

[14:24] rtyuio: this has nothing to do with java, but rather other packages wich seem to be broken [14:24] Gnea, I need mIRC to build bots [14:24] bilalakhtar: Thanks!, Ubuntu is great, this issue just started with 10.10 and yes, I have all the updates. [14:24] well what's the solutioN ? Fuchs [14:24] Ormie: what sort of bots? [14:24] rtyuio: there seems to be aproblem with the grub-pc (your bootloader) package, it fails to configure it properly [14:24] rtyuio: hard to say. sudo apt-get -f install would be worth a try [14:24] i tried rm -rf /media/Backups/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/ [14:25] bilalakhtar: The macchanger command is working as always, the thing is the MAC suddenly changes again to the original one [14:25] it shows the error rm: cannot remove `/media/Backups/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Bridge CS3': Directory not empty [14:25] itsme2011: the link presented shows you how to start the link at system boot.

[14:29] Ah [14:29] Ormie: no thank you [14:29] Ok [14:29] <[bean]> if so, thats a known problem, but i dont think its so much a bug [14:29] <[bean]> it means you dont have an ide [14:29] /dev/sda5 on /media/Backups type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) [14:30] I was answering to some old conversation about an old issue, sorry, I'll repost my question [14:30] rtyuio: that is strange. What software are you using to create and run the virtual machine? [14:30] i don't know i post everything here [bean] http://paste.ubuntu.com/560619/ [14:30] xen [14:30] why ? [14:30] I'm testing some settings on my network, so I'm using "macchanger" so I can change my MAC Address (Wlan0), it always been working fine, but now, it changes, but after some time (say 20 mins) it suddenly changes again to the original one. This is happening in Ubuntu 10.10 because in 10.04 never happened before. Thanks for your help. [14:30] babu__: okay, try this command: mkdir /media/Backups/test [14:31] Could someone point me to a guide on setting up PPTP VPN via commandline on Ubuntu Linux (latest stable version)? [14:31] babu__: does it work? [14:31] <[bean]> rtyuio: it says your grub config is messed up or something. i dont understand french [14:32] Fuchs, btw installing stress i saw in iotop that my disk was reading/writing very slowly with big pauses ... [14:32] ya [14:32] psykasso: you might consider reading the hdparm output, then [14:32] psykasso: plus reading out smart values with smartctl or similar, to see whether the disk is dying [14:32] rtyuio: I wonder whether this might be a xen problem, then [14:33] rtyuio: the problem is that the configure script of the grub-pc package fails, due to communication failure with devicemapper [14:33] !controls | sss [14:33] sss, please see my private message [14:33] rtyuio: so basically you can't install anything now, not only java, as it will try to configure the unconfigured grub-pc package, which will fail [14:33] babu__: now try: rm -rf /media/Backups/test [14:34] hi guys, i have a pe32 windows executable containing camera footage, and i need somehow to extract one of the movies in the executable, tried objdump to see what's inside heres the output http://pastebin.com/KzvK2waq [14:34] worked [14:34] ok i get Fuchs so i have to fix on my xen [14:35] istall !

[14:35] MichaelDobrovits: again? [14:36] hi all [14:36] waza-ari: boot to liveCD and test your RAM and test your partition health [14:36] waza-ari, sounds like a hard drive problem [14:36] MichaelDobrovits: since when are video files kept within an .exe? [14:36] Gnea, i have an executable camera footage of a security camera [14:36] MichaelDobrovits: what is the make and model number of the camera please [14:36] which is better POL or Wine? [14:36] Gnea, the file contains somesort of a player and 14 channel video [14:37] ray: playonlinux is a wrapper app for wine [14:37] MichaelDobrovits: so run it in wine [14:37] Gnea, it's a security camera [14:37] Fuchs, hdparm http://pastebin.com/T19bvn6D [14:37] MichaelDobrovits: yes, and it has a make/model [14:37] ray: they are not exclusive, so comparing is not possible [14:37] ActionParsnip: Ram i dont think since windows on the same machine is workling perfectly... but i'll test the partition... which tool? fschk? [14:37] i formated usb flash drive with gparted to fat16 and fat32 and i cant boot it whats wrong [14:37] Gnea, just a second i saw the model somewhere inside the file [14:37] for Starcraft 2? [14:37] waza-ari: it's still wise to test the RAM as RAM i very sensitive to sudden voltage changes [14:37] wat???????? [14:37] MichaelDobrovits: you can't get it off of the camera itself? [14:38] ray: check the appdb [14:38] waza-ari: https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Libata_error_messages [14:38] babu__: eh? [14:38] waza-ari: yes use fsck, look at the man page when you get to the live desktop [14:38] tell something [14:38] waza-ari: can be a loose cable can be not enough power for the sat disks can be that the disk is daying .... [14:38] Gnea, from strings player.exe i get at the end of file TibetSystem.DVR [14:38] babu__: perhaps that directory doesn't need to be removed [14:38] psykasso: I would need a bit more than that. I am not sure whether it was the -I or -a parameter, but there was one showing all information [14:38] ray: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBq8HLfsKTo [14:39] wat's this silly ans [14:39] MichaelDobrovits: try it like this: strings -a player.exe | less [14:39] Gnea, tried vbox with record my desktop but it doesn't show anything but blank [14:39] MichaelDobrovits: it has DRM [14:40] tried strings filename.exe | grep -i drm with no output [14:40] How do I install JRE and eclipse for programming in Java?

[14:41] sss: sudo apt-get install eclipse [14:41] sss: eclipse is in the repos [14:41] MichaelDobrovits: no, I mean that it is using Digital Rights Management, so you cannot record the video using a screencapture unless you record it outside of vbox [14:41] thanks, all [14:41] i have and a unformated usb flash drive how to format it [14:41] ajah: use gparted [14:41] ajah: use gparted [14:42] ajah: or fdisk then mk2fs if you relish cli ;) [14:42] Gnea, tried also in windows and it has some sort of Digital Rights Managment because in windows it records a blank screen [14:42] MichaelDobrovits: then don't record it in windows [14:42] Gnea, somehow the player passes the driver or something so the recording program cannot capture it [14:42] was there an upgrade related wifi problem lately? [14:42] http://pastie.org/1514818 how do I resolve this properly? [14:42] MichaelDobrovits: right, so we are not going to help you bypass that [14:43] I dont care about installing the JDK [14:43] MichaelDobrovits: think we need to stop this in #ubuntu [14:43] tried in vbox it didn't worked but i'll try in wine [14:43] Fuchs, detailed : http://pastebin.com/f6avSc9n [14:43] Gnea, this the files objdump -x , http://pastebin.com/SYAk3XJ7 [14:43] Hi all [14:43] MichaelDobrovits: please stop [14:43] MichaelDobrovits: yeah, that's not going to work [14:44] ActionParsnip, doesnt displayed in devices [14:44] ajah: in the devices menu?

[15:09] today i was reading this and was shocked http://kernelnewbies.org/Ext4 [15:09] can't they just block any thread containing "kunwon1" ? [15:09] >Why 48-bit and not 64-bit? There are some limitations that would need to be fixed before making Ext4 fully 64-bit capable, which have not been addressed in Ext4. [15:09] kunwon is one of the ##politics idiots [15:09] or Liberals and leftists? [15:09] why does ext4 not support 64bit [15:09] ubuntuluver, you just tried this. not here [15:09] nexes: most likely the latter, it's just the latest round of spam. [15:09] ubuntuluver, it does [15:10] ubuntuluver: it does, I have 64Bit Linux OSes installed on Ext4 [15:10] compdoc no it doesnt r u stupid read my quote [15:10] ubuntuluver: What are you talking about? I'm using ext4 on a 64bit system.. [15:10] mrmist: Ah, okay. Then I suppose I should feel bad that the guy is probably getting hammered with angry PMs. [15:10] hes not be talking about a 64bit OS [15:10] ActionParsnip: he's talking about the block addressing, which is currently 48-bit. [15:10] <[bean]> ubuntuluver: canonical doesnt make ext4, they just use it [15:10] sipior: yeah just found out [15:10] lets move on please [15:11] Hi. I'm running wubi with windows 7 and I just did an update and grub no longer loads when i choose the ubuntu option from the win7 bootloader. It just looks for wubildir, finds it on hd0,1, then restarts. is this a known issue? what should i do [15:12] ubuntuluver: dude, the maximum filesize (for 1 individual file) is 16Tb and the biggest partition is 1 Exabyte. Why does it need to be bigger? [15:12] it seems like every time i update grub in ubuntu, it breaks the boot process with wubi [15:12] hi, some websites only work under mobile browser, but not linux PC browser. how to access them within linux PC? install a mobile browser on PC? modify the browser config files? thanks. [15:12] <[bean]> ActionParsnip: he got kicked [15:12] tehloki: your mistake, frankly, is using wubi :-) [15:12] ActionParsnip, he's gone. known issue [15:12] sgo11: what browser do you use? [15:12] heh. wubi page tells me to come here for help [15:12] [bean]: thanks [15:12] re; sipior [15:12] bazhang: thanks [15:13] goltoof, chrome, firefox. [15:13] is there a better place? [15:13] sgo11: keep in mind some websites load a different page for mobile devices, ie m.google.com [15:13] ActionParsnip: your statement is like "640k are enough" :) [15:13] tehloki: no, i'm afraid there isn't (to my knowledge) [15:13] Is WUBI effectively a persistent USB install on hard disk? [15:13] it's a virtual disk thing [15:13] goltoof, yeah, that's why I am trying to access mobile version under PC. how to do that? thanks. [15:14] sgo11: it's not a config in the browser, but how the site is built to look on mobile vs pc browsers [15:14] llutz_: I look after fairly chunk SQL servers at work and never seen a single 1Tb file [15:14] Unable to change my MTU value in Ubuntu.

I can only change it temporarily using command "ifconfig".Please help. [15:26] Encry9: r=whole dir, f=force [15:26] itsme2011: you should be using network manager [15:27] DasEi: good thing it didnt work then :) === OerHeks is now known as Oer [15:27] ikonia: yes, I am using nm-applet. [15:27] itsme2011: ok, so why are you messing with /etc/interfaces and ifconfig ? [15:28] Encry9: obviousley a typo in the path saved you there [15:28] mh, is it generally possible to install a distro (ubuntu in this case) on top of another distro while the comp is running? :P [15:28] itsme2011: if you're using /etc/network/interfaces, then you give up using networkmanager [15:28] tzaeru: on top not, but in virtual [15:29] tzaeru: you want vitual box :D [15:29] not really I don't :P [15:29] tzaeru: debootstrap [15:29] problem mostly is that my CD drive broke aaaand the current distro's installation is such a mess [15:29] that it'd take days to solve it [15:29] im trying to share a folder and keep getting the error Failed to execute child process "testparm" (No such file or directory) have no idea what to do [15:30] tzaeru: cant boot from usb? [15:30] robert__: testparm is a script samba uses to validate it's config [15:30] tzaeru: grab a 1Gb SD card or USB and boot that [15:30] trinikrono_, no, too old bios :[ [15:30] tzaeru: got a floppy drive? [15:30] Hey all, my laptop doesnt boot anymore (ubuntu 10.04) since it had an instant poweroff due to empty battery... i alwas get the following error when trying to start: "res 51/01:93:a1:3f:de/01:00:11:00:00&e0 Emask 0x1 (device error) status: {DRDY ERR} ... failed command: READ DMA EXT ... end_request: i/O error, dev sda, sector 299777953" and lots of other stuff.. [15:30] no [15:30] ooh, though, thinking of it, I do have a hardrive somewhere with ubuntu installed.. [15:30] should i uninstall samba and re install [15:30] tzaeru: dang, then take the drive out and put it in another system, install then put it back in [15:31] how can i get the usb devices to register in vbox? i did the sudo adduser command but it still wont show the usb devices in any vm i have. [15:31] I started rescuedisk now, made fsck which showed claean and i could mount the filesystem without any errors... why doesnd my system boot? [15:31] robert__: did you actually install samba in the first place? [15:31] sambagirlx: try #vbox [15:31] ActionParsnip, that's a pretty good plan yeah :P [15:31] sambagirlx, which version of vbox [15:31] tzaeru: or you could set up a PXE boot server and boot from that if the system supports it [15:31] sambagirlx, from the repos or the website [15:31] sambagirlx: you need virtualbox 4 from the site (closed source) for usb support [15:31] bazhang let me update the version first. as for asking in #vbox they never could figure it out [15:32] yea when i first went to share my folder i hade to install samba and nfs [15:32] i did both i uninstalled the one for website and then i did it from the repo [15:32] sambagirlx, see what ActionParsnip just said [15:32] how can i allow anyone to modify a partition after manual mount? I've tried to set the folder permission to 777, the device also... [15:32] robert__: I'd look at re-installing it then as testparm should come with it [15:32] ok actionparsnip thank you [15:32] ActionParsnip: i made fsck now, and there where no errors. i could also mount my filesystem from livesystem. Anyway i cant boot.. [15:32] thanks everyone brb [15:32] tzaeru: you can try this scary one https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html [15:32] repgahroll: what file system is on it ? [15:32] My Internet was down for last 4 minutes, if any one had prosted any replies, I request you repost it. I was known by username itsme2011. [15:32] ikonia, ntfs [15:32] repgahroll: you can't, it's mounted in userspace for your user [15:33] ikonia, nope... it's mounted as root [15:33] waza-ari: then reinstall grub2 to the drive and you should be ok [15:33] How do I install flash? [15:33] itsme2010: stop messing with /etc/interfaces and ifconfig and use network manager [15:33] sss: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [15:33] sss: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [15:33] repgahroll: 1.) you shouldn't be logged in as root 2.) then only the root user will be able to use it [15:33] whats the easy way to uninstall samba [15:33] trinikrono_, need to try [15:33] repartiotioning kinda sucks, was hoping to save both the disks -.O [15:33] robert__: open the package manager, search for samba click "uninstall" [15:34] robert__: sudo apt-get remove --purge samba === catalyst is now known as Guest47543 [15:34] ikonia, so... how can i mount it in order to use as a user? If only root is allowed to mount? =/ [15:34] tzaeru: it would be better if you can use the other drive [15:34] here is something else that just started occurring today. then i go to open up a usb device on my laptop it automatically launches vlc and when i open up movies directory or music vlc launches again. what would cause this? it just started this stuff. [15:34] ikonia: Then, How do I resolve this issue? [15:34] repgahroll: you don't, fuser is userspace so won't allow it [15:34] ActionParsnip: i just did fsck /dev/sda5. or are there any more parameters i should have specified? Why should it be grub? but ill try as soon memtest finished its work... [15:34] ok waznt sure if it waz easyer threw the terminal [15:34] waza-ari: read the man page, like I said [15:34] itsme2010: you use network manager to configure your card, and you clear down the entries you have made in the interfaces file [15:35] robert__: no [15:35] ikonia, there should be a way. i just want to allow a user to write a partition.... =/ =/ [15:35] repgahroll: there isn't a way [15:35] repgahroll: it's "USER" space [15:35] i need to write things on that partition... that must be a way to do that. [15:36] ikonia: ok, I deleted everything, in Interface file and saved it. [15:36] it is making some kind of association and vlc is default now [15:36] repgahroll: you're asking how to do it - I'm telling you "you can't" so saying "there must be a way" won't change it [15:36] itsme2010: I didn't say delete everything [15:36] repgahroll: you cant chmod it? [15:36] itsme2010: I said delete the entries you have made [15:36] trinikrono_: it's ntfs [15:36] :D [15:36] sambagirlx, so right click folder choose open with and select nautilus [15:36] repgahroll: its mounted? [15:37] when i rightclick bazhang it just launches the applicaiton [15:37] repgahroll: How did you mount the drive? Using the terminal? [15:37] trinikrono_, yep. it's mounted. [15:37] repgahroll: you want your users to write on a filesystem, not a partition. read about ntfs mount-options how to do it [15:37] there are no options [15:37] i would gksudo nautilus it :D [15:37] ikonia: its ok, I had deleted entire file once, since then, the file contains only my entries. [15:37] how do i make sure my ftp is working i installed proftpd [15:38] sambagirlx, create a folder on the desktop and right click it, bring up a menu [15:38] robert__: Try to ftp to yourself. [15:38] itsme2010: then that's a problem as "lo" needs to be configured [15:38] i am now but i cant run vlc in root [15:38] robert__: connect via ftp to localhost [15:38] sambagirlx, you ran vlc with sudo? why? [15:38] Pici, yep. [15:38] sambagirlx: you can but you shouldn't [15:38] no [15:39] bazhang i just mentioned it what is the problem is that all folders automatically launch vlc [15:39] all of um [15:39] lol ive only been usein ubuntu well this is my second week so not sure how to ftp myself lol [15:39] i right click on anything and vlc launches [15:39] sambagirlx, and I told you how to adjust that [15:39] ikonia; we are talking about "/etc/network/interfaces ", file right? [15:39] /join #ubuntu-in [15:39] itsme2010: yes [15:39] robert__: ftp localhost or use your favorite ftp client and connect to 'localhost' [15:40] hold on bazhang [15:40] robert__: in terminal run: ftp yourusername@localhost [15:40] well. in fact, chmodding the device solved the issue. thanks guys. [15:40] robert__: or use nautilus or an ftp client like gftp [15:41] Is there any way to change arch (ie go from x86->x86_64) without performing a clean install? [15:41] ikonia: Do I have to, reinstall ubuntu to recover that file? [15:41] gaurdro: thats the only way [15:41] i did that just now bazhang [15:41] repgahroll: :D chmod wins [15:41] itsme2010: that's a bit over the top, there are examples on the internet [15:41] bon deja ya des gros con de vieux qui le regardent juste en face de moi et je sais pas ce qu'ils veulent vraiment je vais leur mettre la pression ils vont se casser bon et les prix c'est pas moi qui les fait donc je peux rien changer c'est 25 x 5 125 je viens d'aller me casser les couilles au chiottes pour peser couper tout ca DONC [15:41] oosp [15:41] gaurdro, nope [15:41] good night everyone~ [15:41] !fr | jacquesdupontd [15:41] jacquesdupontd: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [15:42] gaurdro: if you have more than 3Gb RAM you can install the PAE kernel [15:42] i select music from dropdown menu and vlc launches instead of nautilus [15:42] or explorer [15:42] Has anybody used Zentyal to configure a FreeRadius server on Ubuntu? I'm curious if the access points that I am to set up with Zentyal/Ubuntu are to get DHCP addresses or if they must be static. [15:42] maybe i need to reboot [15:42] 这里有中国人吗 [15:42] repgahroll: the device permissions will revert with reboot. I think you might need to put your users in the "disk" group as it has write perms on the permission by default. [15:42] sambagirlx, are you using some kind of tweak script? [15:42] i downloaded a bunch of torrents [15:42] sambagirlx: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631961 [15:42] hi, how do i re [15:42] !cn | jhello [15:42] jhello: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [15:42] thank that could be it? [15:43] brb [15:43] sambagirlx: replace rhythmnbox with vlc in your head ;) [15:43] ikonia: How do I know, which example to apply? [15:43] 哈哈 总算见到中国人～ [15:43] Thanks ActionParsnip, bazhang [15:43] joshb: what is 're'? [15:43] itsme2010: look at the example, and find one that fits just "lo" device [15:43] jhello, english here [15:43] ok~ [15:43] mbeierl, uh. i'll keep that in mind! however, i'm aware that the permission will revert and that's the expected behavior. thank you. [15:43] jhello, #ubuntu-cn for Chinese [15:43] Roasted_: if its a server,I'd use a static IP everytime [15:44] action, typo, i was going to say "how do i re-install media_player_gstreamer ? [15:44] repgahroll: just making sure :) [15:44] yeah i have noticed that [15:44] thx [15:44] joshb: use tab to complete nicks ;) [15:44] ActionParsnip, it is a server, but my question wasn't about the "box" itself. I'm curious if the access points hooked up to the server should be DHCP or static. [15:44] yea, ActionParsnip [15:44] good point [15:44] oh i understand now for this forum use rhythmnbox instead of vlc or i mean opposite to substitute for this exercise ok. [15:45] ActionParsnip: im very tired and i just want the stuff to work [15:45] joshb: you can use software centre and mark the package name for re-installation [15:45] ActionParsnip, our current Windows Radius setup I believe hands out DHCP to the access points. But it has a lot of problems... problems that many users have told me that are non existent in FreeRadius land (linux based) which is why we're trying it. I'm just setting up at est environment and trying to understand if they should or should not be DHCP (the aps) [15:45] i see so i discovered a major bug in ubuntu or linux in general. i should get a reward :) [15:45] ActionParsnip: that's under system [15:45] Roasted_: its not something I've used. You could trial both ways for 2 weeks to test maybe [15:46] > administration>synaptic packagemanager right ? [15:46] joshb: applications -> software centre or synaptic under sytstem, your call [15:46] sambagirlx, what is that [15:46] ActionParsnip, my issue is I'm not even sure if DHCP is *possible* with Zentyal. That's all I'm trying to figure out. [15:46] ActionParsnip: thx, been there before but couldn't locate it, but i'll try again [15:46] well it is on a need to know circumstance now bazhang sorry :) [15:46] ActionParsnip: okay, i ran fsck -n /dev/sda5 in order to check and there was "Error reading block 819532 (attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting niext inote from scan". how do you recommand to go on? [15:46] sambagirlx: while you read it, just change the word rhythmnbox in your head to vlc. This isn't new at all [15:47] sambagirlx, there is not a bug unless you file a bug report. [15:47] Roasted_: it is, and it dpends on your needs whether staic/dhcp. [15:47] waza-ari: gran the ultimate boot cd and use the manufacturers tool to test the drive [15:47] well i ran into the bug then. [15:47] sambagirlx, please do so if you think you have truly found one [15:47] sambagirlx: yes, but the guide gives a fix [15:47] DasEi, have you used Zentyal? Because I'm just not seeing in the interface if its possible. [15:47] it was already encountered bazhang. === CripperZ is now known as CripperZ-v6 [15:48] someone else encountered it prior to me. but it is still something that should be corrected in the future. [15:48] waza-ari: I think the power cut may have dmaged your drive in some way [15:48] DasEi, our current setup I believe arranges the APs by MAC address, and just uses DHCP to them. This setup with Zentyal looks to be the opposite, where it manages by IP, and MAC ID isnt anywhere to be found. [15:48] sambagirlx: it can't be fixed if you don't report it [15:48] sambagirlx: its fixable though, did you use the link to get fixed? [15:48] sambagirlx: either report it - or stop referencing it [15:48] i see it i'll report it i think i should it is rather a problem. [15:48] ActionParsnip: okay, then i first will try to safe as much data as possible on my external device [15:48] ActionParsnip: im installing ghecko_media player.. [15:48] waza-ari: wy do you not have a backup? [15:49] anyone know why my nis client on ubuntu (meerkat) keep giving this error: dpkg: version 'nis_2.17-18' bad syntax: invalid character in version number. (this was the version meerkat decided to download from the repositioy, so i dont see why it would be wrong version).... sorry i'm kinda lost here and we've been working on this for a while now with no sucess === CripperZ-v6 is now known as CripperZ [15:49] thanks brb [15:49] ActionParsnip: no, not of all files.. [15:49] waza-ari: the power outage could have fried the IDE, then where is your data? [15:49] Roasted_: I recently tried in virtual box, so no "productional" experience, but dhcp on linux works as static does, If your machines often change, use dhcp, else static is one setup, and then less trouble with things like arp going bad [15:49] Bridge|: is/was NIS working on this machine at all [15:49] !info nis [15:49] nis (source: nis): clients and daemons for the Network Information Service (NIS). In component universe, is extra. Version 3.17-31 (maverick), package size 191 kB, installed size 796 kB [15:49] Bridge|: redownload the file === Cain` is now known as Cain [15:49] yea it tries to bind to ypserv then gives that error after a few mins [15:49] what is wierd is that the solution exists but it is still occuring. so that is a bug that needs to be reported again i guess. [15:50] sambagirlx: if it's reported, it doesn't need reporting again [15:50] sambagirlx: if it's not reported, it needs reporting [15:50] sambagirlx: it also happens when people mess with default apps and such [15:50] ActionParsnip: i can mount it in rescuesystem... [15:50] DasEi, well my issue isn't really about what to use between dhcp and static. I'm just trying to understand if dhcp is even possible, because in the zentyal interface I'm just not seeing how it's possible. The only other curve ball is if we roll this out, then what? I'm trying to get a plan on how I can arrange all of our access points to connect to THIS server w/ static IPs as opposed to the Windows one without grabbing htem all out of the ceiling. [15:50] it looks asthough nis client works, but after failed bind attemp I get the error talking about the version [15:50] so the issue is already reported then right actionparsnip? [15:50] sambagirlx: how can you have a bug for human error??? [15:51] Bridge|: is the bind failure intermitent or all the time [15:51] thank everyone who help me still waitin to see if my samba work but i can access my ftp from my windows 7 so i was happy about that lol [15:51] all the time [15:51] sambagirlx: is it a bug if some user delets all the files in /boot and the system no longer works after a cold boot, no its not [15:51] >:o [15:52] sambagirlx: if a package install did it by accident, then yes there is a bug [15:52] ikonia: we have ypserv running on a centOS box listening, and nis client on ubuntu [15:52] ok ok ok don't beat me down. geez. [15:52] Roasted_: you define a subnet for the internal ip's and set your clients accordingly [15:52] Bridge|: ok, but does the yp bind on the ubuntu box ever work or does it fail all the time [15:52] i still didnt do anything to cause this situation as far as i recall. [15:52] waza-ari: then you may need to use foremost to attempt to rescue the data from an unmounted partition. you will need a suitably sized partition mounted writable to spit the found data onto.I suggest you review your backup regime [15:52] DasEi, did you just use freeradius or did you use zentyal in particular? [15:52] ikonia: all the time [15:53] sambagirlx: then check the bug doesn't already exist and if it doesn't, create it [15:53] Bridge|: so it's never worked ? [15:53] ikonia:: no [15:53] sambagirlx: just explaining what constitutes a bug :) [15:53] Bridge|: does the version match with this [15:53] !info nis | Bridge| [15:53] Bridge|: nis (source: nis): clients and daemons for the Network Information Service (NIS). In component universe, is extra. Version 3.17-31 (maverick), package size 191 kB, installed size 796 kB [15:53] ActionParsnip: im currently simply using rsync to copy the data from internal harddisk to external usb disk. i hope to get the important data.. [15:53] i know who a bug is :) [15:54] Roasted_: I had a look in zentyal recently, amongst other server slutions, but these things are similar in different distros [15:54] and, be sure, i will review backup strategy... [15:54] ikonia: it saays 3.17-18 [15:54] i will ask Seveas about it. [15:54] sambagirlx: maybe you can join the bugsquad [15:54] DasEi, I see. Little off topic to what I asked but based on what server solutions you found similar to Zentyal, what others did you find? I went with Zentyal because they seemed to have good support, plus when they were formerly ebox I know the forums thought highly of them as a whole. What others did you find worth mentioning? [15:54] Bridge|: ok, maybe worth doing an apt-get update, then seeing if apt-cache search nis shows the upgraded version ? [15:55] but i have to go offline for now, since battery will be down again in a few minutes, so i have to use the ac-adapter of this machine... [15:55] i dont have any bugs i am clean as as whistle. [15:55] i will come back when i rescued the data i could.. [15:55] Roasted_: I'll pm you [15:55] brb let me try their solution to fix this [15:55] ikonia: k i'll try this [15:56] ok this was what occured inode/directory=vlc.desktop; [15:56] still unsure how the association occured. [15:57] is it possbile to make new partion from the unused space of existing partition [15:57] ajah, unallocated space? [15:57] ajah: i did it last night so yes [15:57] bazhang, yes [15:57] ajah, see what trinikrono_ said [15:58] trinikrono_, how [15:58] ajah: you can resize partitions to make a new one [15:58] ajah: I guess you can resize your partition to create another partition with gparted [15:58] it takes really long and dont do it too close ajah [15:59] Where can I get a list of packages that are on the default Maverick install? [15:59] i`ve got 52 gb ntfs drive and 15gb unused i want to to turn this 15 gb in new partition [15:59] ajah: So the 15GB isn't currently allocated to a partition? [15:59] inode/directory=vlc.desktop; [16:00] undecim: try dpkg --get-selections > installed-software [16:00] undecim, it is located on partition [16:00] ajah use gparted and format it [16:00] ajah: i would make it 12gb :D you never know when you might need it [16:00] sacarlson: Well, that would work if I were running a fresh install... I don't have access to one at the moment [16:00] ajah: You will need to boot a LiveCD and use GParted [16:01] you can run sudo apt-get install gparted [16:01] !info zenytal [16:01] Package zenytal does not exist in maverick [16:01] ajah: Though it's recommended that you make a backup of your important data first. [16:01] undecim: could boot to an ubuntu install CD and run sacarlson's command there. running it on your current system shows the packages yuo have installed NOW, not the default ones [16:01] undecim: install a fresh one in a virtualbox to create a list to compare [16:01] sacarlson: no need to install, just boot the livecd [16:01] ActionParsnip: I know, but that would give me a list of the packages on the CD, which includes stuff not on the default install [16:01] when i click ot create partition table it says this will erase all data on entire disk [16:01] but i don`t want that [16:02] or it is inevitable [16:02] ajah: Don't create a new partition table [16:02] ajah use gparted [16:02] i use gparted [16:02] ActionParsnip: I guess that would work [16:02] ajah: You need to resize the partition with the 15GB free [16:02] ajah: Then you have the free space to make a new partition [16:02] ajah: make sure to backup [16:03] how do i bridge my newtwork connection [16:03] sacarlson: Yeah, I know, but that seemed a little overkill... I was hoping there is a page I can look at or a file on the LiveCD or something like that. [16:03] how can I have MPD save its playback position / playlist when it shuts down?

[16:05] undecim: you must have missed ActionParsnip suggested just boot a live cd and compare the list of that [16:05] sacarlson: you missed my response to that message [16:05] Bridge|: just having a little read on version compatabilities [16:05] k [16:06] undecim: I think it must be a subset of what's installed, I"m not sure I never checked it [16:06] ikonia: ypserv version 2.19 (incase u need it) [16:06] actionparsnips that thing worked thanks [16:06] sacarlson: It is not a subset, because the default install does not include ubiquity (the Ubuntu installer) [16:06] sambagirlx: simples :) [16:07] Bridge|: thank you [16:07] how to get libv4l-dev 32bit for ubuntu 9.1 64bit to install wine [16:07] undecim: true it might not include ubiquity [16:08] can someone help me with MPD?

[16:33] holllow [16:33] yoyo [16:33] ;d [16:33] Datz, did you set the staic address in /etc/network/interfaces or network manager ? [16:33] Hi [16:33] Datz: network manager should work but if that fails you can disable network manager and use ifconfig to change ip [16:33] Datz : try ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 ? [16:33] BluesKaj: network manager [16:33] EnrgySmth: I'll try that [16:34] how are u? [16:34] then make sure you turn off dhcp , Datz [16:34] what`s up!!!!???

[16:53] LinuxNoob, this has nothing to do with pirating windows. please stop [16:53] ok I have to go, may be we can talk about this again tomorrow [16:53] bye all [16:53] bye fxII [16:53] We CAN help you download and install Ubuntu from a flash drive or CD, LinuxNoob. [16:54] I've got 10.04 on this year old aluminum iMac, can anyone point me to the sound card fix that works? All I seem to be able to find are broken or old links/forum posts.

[16:55] you're welcome [16:55] LinuxNoob, if you resized the windows partition and want to know how to boot back into the windows partition we might be able to help you but we do not help people installing windows [16:55] Hello. Can anyone reference me an application that daily reminds you of tasks upon logging in? [16:55] can someone help me with rdesktop? [16:56] rwhat? [16:56] Haha [16:57] darknature: xmotd maybe? [16:57] dmar198, what about rdesktop? [16:57] LinuxNoob, while the computer is starting keep the shift key depressed and see the menu appear that gives you the possibillity to dualboot into windows, if the menus doesn't give you the option you did a mistake while installing. and we cannot help you [16:57] tmus :: I used the command "rdesktop [ip address] to connect to my computer downstairs, but it responded "unable to connect" with no instruction on how to get it working [16:57] * BluesKaj tries to recall the gnome equivalent for kontact [16:57] lapion: why can't you help him? [16:58] can you help me get it working? [16:58] BluesKaj: Evolution [16:58] dmar198, the computer downstairs is a windows pc? [16:58] tmus :: yes, Windows 7 [16:59] ok Fuchs , thx [16:59] dmar198, you need to enable remote desktop sessions on the windows system (disabled by default) [16:59] okay i have a asus laptop, came with win7 preinstalled, i wanted linux, cause i want to learn programming quicker, and if i use linux soley , it will kinda give me a crash course...i downloaded wubi, so i could do the windows install of ubuntu. win7 is installed on C:, recovery is on D:(the usual), i didnt have enough space in my C: drive so i figured it would be okay to put it in my D:... [16:59] ...drive, it installed fine, i rebooted started up linux, everything was alright, restarted it again to get to windows to start clearing up some hdd space, deleting unneeded files. well. when i restarted, it said that my hdd couldnt be found. so i paniced(cause this is my school comp) and went and grabbed the first windows cd i could find, formated all the drives, so that i could do a clean... [16:59] ...install. turns out.. my computer needs win7 to install the laptop drivers. i tried with the vista, said laptop didnt have required drivers to run this program. so in order to get back to linux, i need to get win7 back on my laptop, install drivers from my asus cd that i already have(by the way my copy of win7 is legit, came with laptop) and then install ubuntu. [17:00] dmar198, properties on "my computer", and somewhere in there... "Allow remote desktop sessions" i think it's called [17:00] LinuxNoob: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:00] tmus :: "Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer" is already enabled [17:00] Hrm ok sound works on the iMac now but the sound is very very tinny. [17:00] dmar198, not assistance - the other one [17:00] there is no other one [17:01] dmar198, non-windows firewall installed? [17:01] I'm not sure what firewall is installed [17:01] oh. Look what I just found: [17:01] "Important note: Remote desktop is only included in the Professional, Business, or Ultimate versions of Windows. Home editions do not have remote desktop." [17:02] I have Home Ultimate [17:02] that's apparently why === milind is now known as milindshakya [17:02] Home Premium* [17:02] dmar198, aaah, that explains the "no other one" [17:02] :-) [17:02] dmar198, install a vnc server instead, then [17:02] okay well I guess I'll just have to install a different client [17:02] thanks [17:02] LinuxNoob, just ditch windows. if you want to learn to program commit to it [17:02] is vnc better than TeamViewer? [17:02] i cant install linux on my hdd without having win7 first [17:02] LinuxNoob Why not? [17:03] dmar198, for this - yes [17:03] i tried, the laptop has no drivers [17:03] LinuxNoob: use what ever operating system you feel meets your needs best [17:03] okay thx [17:03] LinuxNoob... you dont really need to have windows7 installed to have ubuntu installed... [17:03] goodbye! [17:03] LinuxNoob: the install CD will deal with that for Linux [17:03] i tried.. [17:03] LinuxNoob, just download the desktop edition and make USB pen drive [17:03] LinuxNoob: having windows installed has no effect on whether linux has drivers available [17:03] the laptop requires the drivers to function [17:03] the mobo was designed for win7 [17:03] LinuxNoob: what happens whewn you boot the install CD [17:04] LinuxNoob, Was your computer hooked up to the Internet too? Linux searches for drivers independent of Window. [17:04] LinuxNoob: no, it doesn't [17:04] i already called the asus guy [17:04] LinuxNoob: what happens when you boot the install CD [17:04] which one? [17:04] linux? [17:04] LinuxNoob: the ubuntu Install CD [17:04] i downloaded it to a usb, with this [17:04] LinuxNoob: linux is a separate operating system. it does not use windows to get drivers. if linux does not have drivers for your hardware, then having windows installed won't change that [17:04] LinuxNoob, if you boot into the linux installer you wont even be using win7 [17:04] o_o [17:04] LinuxNoob, so the issue of drivers is irrelavent [17:04] LinuxNoob: what happens when you boot the install CD [17:05] okay guys enlighten me [17:05] i dont even need win7 [17:05] LinuxNoob: what happens when you boot the install CD [17:05] alright [17:05] LinuxNoob: respond to my question [17:05] ubuntu startup [17:05] LinuxNoob, You said you were using WUBI. Don't use WUBI. [17:05] i get the purple screen that has the 5 dots like its loading [17:05] Just boot from the install CD. [17:05] He's ready to take the RED pill! [17:05] then purple and white checkered screen [17:05] nothing else, waited an hour to see if it was loading [17:05] LinuxNoob, i have probs with CD too [17:06] i used a usb [17:06] LinuxNoob, this is why I suggest using the USB pen [17:06] LinuxNoob: use the ubuntu alternative CD to install, [17:06] LinuxNoob: use nomodeset [17:06] LinuxNoob: that will resovle your graphical problems [17:06] path to finding this please :) [17:06] LinuxNoob: one moment === jomo is now known as johzephine [17:06] tytyty [17:07] LinuxNoob : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [17:07] LinuxNoob: http://mirror01.th.ifl.net/releases//maverick/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso [17:08] LinuxNoob: use that install image, and that should resolve your issues [17:08] Who know about editing menu? [17:08] alright, what exactly do i do with that iso [17:08] LinuxNoob: you burn it to a CD, then boot from that CD [17:08] is there a way to get back to the netbook remix v9 style instead of the new 10.10 remix left side crazy bar? [17:09] so i can just open the cd, drop the iso in there, burn and put in my other laptop? [17:09] i also have a usb pen, if that would be better [17:09] 8gb [17:09] LinuxNoob: burn the image to a CD and boot from it [17:09] kk [17:09] LinuxNoob, not sure the USB installer handles that .iso [17:09] gotcha [17:10] LinuxNoob - cannot just copy the file to the CD - needs to burn it "from image file" or whatever your burning program states [17:10] LinuxNoob burn it as an IMAGE not as date [17:10] data+ [17:10] otherwise it will not be bootable [17:10] kk [17:10] indeed :D [17:10] LinuxNoob, check on the pull-down list of the USB Installer app to see if it support creating USB pen from that particular .iso [17:10] Hi all I have an issue accessing my esata drive cluster within ubuntu 10.10. The bios sees it fine and reports the correct size etc however within ubuntu i get this: http://pae.st/X2DJ/ [17:10] codemagician: he's not using the USB - stop adding to the confusion [17:11] Hey can i get some help with ndiswrapper and my wireless?

[17:11] i put in a blank cd, asks me to burn dvd data, burn files to dsic, or burn a dvd video disc [17:11] ikonia, any particular reason? [17:11] LinuxNoob: you have to use an imageburner, like ISO Image Burner on Windows. [17:12] What program is it? [17:12] codemagician: simple [17:12] hehe, didn't even notice it at first, but i'm laying on the brick from laptops power cord and it feels like a heatingpad for my hurt back, :-) [17:12] Bridge: LOL [17:12] My wireless adapter is not listed as an interface, and ndiswrapper tells me it cannot see if hardware is present.

Can I delete it, or will that cause all sort of trouble? [17:16] will grub recognize software raid1? [17:16] EnrgySmth: none at all [17:16] My wireless adapter is not listed as an interface, and ndiswrapper tells me it cannot see if hardware is present. I cannot connect through any other means than wireless. [17:16] EnrgySmth: it will be fine [17:16] clavin12, is the device enabled under BIOS [17:16] EnrgySmth: works with seperate and boot, and grub handles raid fine [17:16] Datz: you can symlink it to another folder if you wish, the OS will simply see a folder [17:16] whats good software to download the ubuntu.iso to a cd?

[17:22] markoso, I'd use manual if you know what you're doing but if not just use the slider. Typically the default is suitable. [17:22] how many partitions should i put on my hdd after i get linux installed? [17:22] LinuxNoob - just let it autoconfig dude [17:22] nvm, ill ask all these questions when i get to it lol, ill be back later guys, ty so much guys [17:22] LinuxNoob: I recommend 3, 10Gb for / formatted Ext4, 1xRAM for swap, the rest for /home formatted Ext4 [17:22] EnrgySmth: so you will mirror on two drives, using ext4 for / and ext3 or 2 for /boot, that all can be set up at install without a problem [17:23] LinuxNoob, just let it automatically set it up for you. [17:23] EnrgySmth: you can use ext4 for /boot without an issue [17:23] ubuntu 10.10 has no slider [17:23] DasEi - that is excellent to hear, thank you! [17:23] markoso, Is it a fresh install or install alongside something else? [17:24] installing ubuntu windows is alreay installed [17:24] If someone tells me he wants me to backup /alt, does he mean /etc/alternatives?

[17:24] mmk [17:24] if I have made a sudo -s in a terminal, how can I reverse it without closing it and open a new one? :) [17:24] zykes-, minimal iso? [17:24] civixier: exit [17:24] !minimal | zykes- [17:24] zykes-: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [17:25] bazhang: something like it [17:25] markoso, I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and there is a slider. In the wizard hit, "Install alongside" and you'll have a little GUI there. Drag-and-drop the Ubuntu logo to however big you want it. [17:25] ikonia - thank you! [17:25] DasEi ah, thanks :) [17:25] zykes-, about 20mb iso iirc [17:25] ok star [17:25] is there some utility that will keep a log of which window has focus and for how long, and analyse it to give percentages per day, for example? [17:25] civixier: or ctrl-d [17:26] markoso, Go here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download and at the bottom of the page under "Install" press the "Show Me How" button [17:26] How do I troubleshoot a GDM login failure on an ubuntu 10.10 desktop which was just upgraded from ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS? [17:26] (I assume you're using desktop edition) [17:26] I am thinking of trying nilfs2 for the logs though... anyone done this? [17:27] On my laptop I have Ubuntu installed, and I have it partitioned where / has its own space, and /home has its own place. Is there anyway that I can make another partition to /home so I can install Windows 7 without loosing anything? [17:27] after slide do i hit installl now [17:27] EnrgySmth: I wouldn't bother, ext works just as fine [17:27] ikonia - more of an experiment than anything... :) [17:28] Who know about editing menu? === willians_ is now known as carpeted [17:28] markoso, Yep. If everything's how you want it then hit Install Now and just keep doing whatever it asks. Pretty straight-forward from there. [17:28] ty Starminn [17:28] On my laptop I have Ubuntu installed, and I have it partitioned where / has its own space, and /home has its own place. Is there anyway that I can make another partition to /home so I can install Windows 7 without loosing anything? [17:28] markoso, You're welcome.

[17:30] win vista [17:30] Kevin147: hmmh, i don't understand, you have now two partitions, one for / and one for /home? [17:30] Kevin147: and you want to install win7? [17:30] when the pc booted it didnt give windows option just straight to ubuntu [17:31] What I need to do to connect quicksynergy with server ? [17:31] /join #ubuntu-de [17:31] gobbe: Yes. I have the /home partition, and it has plenty of space, so I want to install windows 7 on it along with ubuntu. I'm just wondering how do I partition my /home folder so I can install windows 7 on that partition [17:31] how do i make grub run? [17:32] Thank you, cheers :-} [17:32] how can i look for my laptop specs [17:32] lewix: lspci, lshw [17:32] lewix, sudo lshw [17:32] lewix, if want gui tool then install sysinfio [17:33] markoso, I'm not that experienced in all this but I'm searching for something similar. I know that problem is somewhat common in Win7. [17:33] lewix: install gnome-devicemanager, or hwinfo (most detailed) [17:33] sysinfo [17:33] hmmm [17:33] bazhang: does it boot off of usb? [17:33] ok thanks [17:33] Kevin147: you cannot [17:33] all seem like i have a bunch of choice [17:33] zykes-, dont know, never tried [17:33] Kevin147: you need to shrink it and create new partition to windows [17:33] gobbe: Then how do I do that? [17:33] heh, i got a 512 mb usb pen [17:33] I have a network setup dilemma that I need a second pair of eyes to look it over and help me figure out what is my issue please. Ok so, WAN –‘Public IP NAT through’ -> (Linksys ‘WDDRT’ 192.168.1.1”wireless/wired). 192.168.1.146 is wired to my (ZyXEL) which NAT to 192.168.10.33 -192.168.10.65. my Ubuntu 9.10 server (192.168.10.35) running apache2. I also have DynDNS free account for my http://mydomain.something.com. Every time I try to hit [17:33] so need something that fits [17:34] markoso, I remember reading something a few days ago about this. Vista and Win7 are different in how you install them. This was for Win7 but I believe it may apply to Vista as well. You apparently have to partition unallocated space while in Windows, THEN install Ubuntu (maual) into that unallocated space. [17:34] hello i have problem i can't run any executable files for linux, i have change chmod and i have change chown but this don't work... when i type ./filename i see "No such file or directory", when i type bash filename i see "cannot execute binary file", when i type sh filename i see "Syntax error: "(" unexpected" [17:34] can anyone help me ? [17:34] lewix: more or less detailed output, more or less convienant view [17:34] Kevin147: do you have enough space in / partition for home? [17:34] ahhhhhhhhh [17:34] Kevin147: shrinking partitions is not usually straightforward [17:34] gobbe: nope, I only made it 10GB. And I've used 5GB already..wouldn't be enough room [17:34] klys4: could be a broken executable, you did: [17:35] markoso, read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoResizeWindowsPartitions [17:35] DasEi on every executable file i have this problem, and this file was downloaded from official website [17:35] klys4: sudo chmod +x exeFile.sh && sudo chown $USER exeFile.sh && ./exeFile.sh ?

Again, not very experienced in this) you choose "manually specify partitions" and what you'll need to do (in your case) when installing Ubuntu is to make a 300GB partition mounted at "/" and make a partition called "swap" that is approximately equivalent to your RAM.

[18:25] are the commands the same in terminal in lub [18:25] sisif: If enabling involves a physical switch to enable the device, there isnt much you can do to have it recognized in software [18:25] internet connection at 10-12 meg/sec download [18:25] lmh1: try them, see what works for you [18:25] I have just installed a new system on a laptop (ecs 2003 model) and keyboard freezes after some keystrokes [18:25] or do you have to use the $ thing [18:25] lmh1: they are roughly the same, just different docs and branding [18:25] sisif: but you can at least start the service with: service bluetooth start [18:25] guess it dont matter [18:25] sisif: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1582551 [18:25] bjaanes: yes, with a script :) [18:25] lmh1: though i'd say based on channel size in irc, use ubuntu [18:26] i liked blender it was pretty sweet [18:26] If im based on Thailand, but I'm english speaking from UK and want pound symbols, but timezone BKK how do I adjust my locale?

[18:26] soreau, I know this is possible because in the previous version of Ubuntu it was set on at boot (default), Also, in Win7 there is a little manager that I can use to enable it. So really there is just a command that needs to be passed of to BIOS / HW so that it powers on the dongle. [18:26] I mean make network install disk from an linux server. [18:26] this forum support lub too [18:26] clavin12: Why are you using ndiswrapper?

[18:28] Active directory, DHCP, Deployment server, IIS web server [18:28] lmh1: I'd advise you to have 3 install images, ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu and just select what you want [18:28] lmh1: active directory = ldap, dhcp = yes, deployment server = pxeboot+netinstall, IIS=apache [18:28] soreau: netgear wna3100, lsusb id is 0846:9020 [18:28] I have now (Or will have) Core i7 2600k, 8 GB of DDR3 ram and Samsung F3 2 TB HDD.

We are here to support ubuntu, not talk about torrents and music [18:32] ugh [18:32] soreau: no i'll take a look [18:32] soreau: I've muted her, I'm trying to talk to her in pm [18:32] ikonia: ok === Freeaqingme is now known as Guest82530 [18:34] soreau, it doesn't work cellphone sees desktop but ubuntu doesn't [18:35] soreau: yes I have looked at that. It wants me to build ndiswrapper with a patch.

"if it builds, ship it" [18:44] bj0rn: you need to put the .deb thatss downloaded onto the hard disk then so you can get it when you go back to your system [18:44] maco, following that, i have a network-manager icon in my panel, but "Enable Network-manager" is faded, and "services --status-all" shows [?] network-manager [18:44] maco: done that [18:45] bj0rn: if you have the icon, then its not uninstalled...

[18:45] maco: it is re-installed.. after copying the .deb and using gdebi [18:45] maco: one sec, mounting the drive [18:46] jrib, cool. is there a way to get the icons not to bunch and overlap.. like a grid type mode? [18:47] codemagician: there might be but I don't know how [18:47] maco, file says "ifdown / managed=false" [18:47] bj0rn: make it true [18:47] maco, where / is a linebreak [18:47] kkl [18:48] maco: brb as [thor] if this works .. hehe thanks [18:49] hi all - is anyone here very familiar with plymouth boot screens on netbooks? For some reason, my netbook's screen goes blank twice during boot and I don't see the boot splash screen. It does boot and the system works, but I'm trying to get the ubuntu-sunrise plymouth screen working and it's refusing. It works fine on shutdown however [18:50] WillWork4foo: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ [18:51] thanks ActionParsnip [18:51] WillWork4foo: follow until the embedded video, it makes the OS use the fb driver for bootup until your video driver gets loaded for the desktop [18:52] this isnt an ubuntu question perse, but does anyone have a recommendation for used 1u servers? Im am wanting to install ubuntu 10.10 server on it. Im just looking to get by for cheap [18:52] edit: to buy them [18:52] ActionParsnip, thanks very much [18:52] craigfu: try ##hardware [18:53] thanks ikonia [18:53] ActionParsnip, it looks like it's loading various gfx drivers during boot or something similar - screen keeps initialising two or three times :) [18:53] craigfu: craigslist [18:53] I'll follow that guide. Much appreciated [18:55] Hello.

[19:00] this is right after keyboard selection in the installer [19:00] there is nothing to select [19:00] taxon: some , yes [19:00] cant cchoose anything [19:00] well done...no ubuntu for me [19:00] partition mount pt etc [19:00] goltoof: I would use stat... and sort... and find... does that help? [19:00] get back to my old XP [19:00] taxon: out of the box tightvnc is easiest to go [19:00] DasEi: I would like to set up a headless ubuntu 10.04.1 server with a GUI (e.g. KDE or gnome) to share a single GUI session among some friends. [19:01] ikonia or gsp2009: make sense? [19:01] taxon: headless = no gui [19:01] ThatDudeButch: using wubi? [19:01] I read somewhere that tightvnc is rather old, e.g. the clipboard sharing doesn't work [19:01] Its is pussible to use unetbootin to make a bigger images? [19:01] taxon: then ssh is your choice rather [19:01] ive tried three ways [19:01] regualr install cd [19:01] With much of games?

[19:02] Yeah I did [19:02] DasEi: I need a remote GUI, so ssh is not an option for my use case [19:02] ThatDudeButch: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [19:02] Now a Fascinate and an Inc [19:02] cool [19:02] jrib: don't know yet, already somewhat familiar with those, sort of looking for some examples.. it's just there's one directory that has like 15,000 files in it that i don't need, trying to find it [19:02] ActionParsnip: I can I guess [19:02] ThatDudeButch: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1427250&page=2 [19:02] I figured three different installs lol [19:03] tightvns is said to be rather slow with e.g. kde and to have some graphic glitches [19:03] lmh1: What do you mean by making bigger images? [19:03] lmh1: Like live USB drive with more stuff installed? [19:03] taxon: vnc is like sitting on the remote pc , so you don't want to hare a headless server, but a regualar desktop, rdesktop , tightvnc from repos, ultravnc as third party or teamview, free for private use can do that [19:03] ThatDudeButch: then how did you know the image was complete or consistent?

It tells any program using it to look at another file.... [19:05] DasEi: which kde / gnome package should I choose that doesn't depend on a lot of xservers? [19:05] : How do you build iso? [19:05] feyd: Hard links actually share the same data [19:05] I only need a minimal kde / gnome [19:05] so if I wanted to have 2 folders mirror the same data (both on different drives), I wouldn't want to use a hard link, rsync would be a better option [19:05] ActionParsnip: where are the md5s list [19:05] you know off hand? [19:05] feyd: its like a symlink but makes a copy, if the file source changes the linked file will be instantly updated due to it being a link. It also takes space up, a softlink doesn't take any extra space [19:05] !hashes | ThatDudeButch [19:05] ThatDudeButch: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs.

[19:06] ActionParsnip: so if I wanted to have 2 folders mirror the same data (both on different drives), I wouldn't want to use a hard link, rsync would be a better option [19:06] ThatDudeButch: yw [19:06] jrib: well.. i guess it's doing something.. lol [19:06] feyd: You can't hardlink folders, nor files on seperate partitions [19:07] can i change files from USB stick with unetbootin? [19:07] feyd: i'd use rsync if you want a backup solution, without the source the linked data doesn't exist [19:07] undecim: alright, that clears it up [19:07] taxon: if you need desktop, as of now need x [19:07] ActionParsnip: gotcha, thanks [19:07] ill be mad if all these return borked md5s [19:07] lol [19:07] no i wont ctually [19:07] ill be happy [19:07] lol [19:07] ThatDudeButch: should have checked before [19:07] goltoof: you ran the command in the right place right? [19:07] I know. [19:07] I fail. [19:08] jrib: ah, yes ran from in the directory [19:08] DasEi: would be nice if the remote desktop would be as fast as Windows RDP [19:08] so has anyone successfully integrated mplayer into chromium? [19:08] taxon: i've noticed it is kind of sluggish at times.. Teamviewer is better IMO... [19:08] ThatDudeButch: but you learned, so its all good [19:08] feyd: Rsync on a cron job sounds like it will do what you want. Just be careful... If you do, e.g. rsync with the --delete option (so that deleting from the source drive deletes from the secondary drive), it will wipe the secondary folder if the source drive fails to mount and the system boots anyways. [19:09] jrib: not quite.. it does list in order of files contained.. not finding all the files though :/ [19:09] taxon: the used desktop has less effect on it than has the used the compression protocoll and the bandwith [19:09] jrib: ie, only showing some 2,000 or so [19:09] goltoof: that will only list directories [19:09] how can i make "floppy" drives to boot from networks? [19:09] ActionParsnip: wubi.exe def nnot the same md5 [19:09] not even close [19:09] feyd: If you plan to delete stuff, it would probably be safest to set up a RAID [19:09] checking the iso i used [19:09] cd .. [19:09] oops [19:09] taxon: try tightvnc first, if that doesn't do enough, go the longer way of deploying ultravnc [19:10] hm taking forever to has [19:10] undecim: I'll be sure and test it before committing it, I'm not going to be deleting so much as just mirroring (a RAID would help there too, but rsync is simpler) [19:10] h === Somelauw is now known as Haar [19:10] anyone know how to minimize evolution to tray and be notified of mail? === Haar is now known as Spag === Spag is now known as Kat [19:10] DasEi: I tried tightvnc with icewm but that was really sluggish [19:10] jrib: anyway, i was able to locate it. thanks bro!

[19:11] jrib: that cmd will come in use later, i'm sure [19:11] feyd.. in repos too.. nice. ;) [19:12] DasEi: isn't there a tool that translate between a xserver and e.g. RDP directly without going through a framebuffer? [19:12] gsp2009: not sure how notifications work, but if evolution doesnt pass them while in the tray, then you can get mail-notification as well, it'd be separate but would still function how you want [19:12] need a good link to install sis onboard graphic card driver, thx [19:12] ThatDudeButch: sounds like a bad file, I suggest you use the Ubuntu desktop CD and mount it with maickdisk or daemontools and install that way [19:12] LeGambitteur: good luck.. i gave up on that one. [19:12] KM0201: XD [19:13] so has anyone successfully integrated mplayer into chromium? [19:13] LeGambitteur: what video chip?

[19:14] goltoof: hmm, I had assumed that that corresponded to number of files in a dir, but it doesn't apparently [19:15] Do someone understand what i ask about? [19:15] taxon: if that can be used in full, could be enough, though ssh -X , especially in view of more then one client needs less [19:15] maco: no dice after editing the network config [19:15] gsp2009: awesome, happy mailing [19:16] LeGambitteur: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347451&page=2 has a sample xorg.conf you may be able to use (or edit) if udev is failing you [19:16] jrib: yeah, not sure how it was listing whether as dirs or total files, I was able to hone in on the dir only because i recognized it [19:16] ActionParsnip: thx I'm goinig to try it now !

[19:21] whenever i come to work my ubuntu 10.04 box is unresponsive and i have to restart it. i'm thinking its probably a CPU temperature thing? 1) is there something else it could be? 2) how do i get the cpu temperature (i added cpu temperature to panel but its ex'd out) [19:21] <__name__> how does the /home encryption work under the hood? [19:21] mbeierl: really? something linux cannot do? [19:22] mbeierl: i looked it up and someone figured it out with a chkdisk in windows, i'd like to avoid that route if possile [19:22] goltoof: no, something NTFS cannot do. [19:22] *possible [19:22] taxon: you asked that before, the used gui is relevant to the localhost, not the vnc, so take what you like [19:22] goltoof: this is a Windows-formatted partition, correct?

But all seem to depend on various xservers for each graphic card [19:24] maco: http://i.imgur.com/Cg91l.png is what i see on the installation where my network-manager was uninstalled and subsequently manually re-installed. editing the config file to have managed=true seems to have had no effect. [19:24] mbeierl: should i reformat the drive before using it as backup? [19:24] I just did a reinstall of my Ubuntu OS and now on my bit install I have no sound [19:24] goltoof, if you're sure you want to remove them try sudo rm -rf [19:24] goltoof: from what I have read, the system volume information folder is also used as part of NTFS journal - which means that deleting it would corrupt the filesystem [19:24] g_o_o: yes I did that.. [19:24] taxon: err ? one g-card for each box.. so one driver per boox .. I don't understand you [19:25] goltoof: the answer to that is - it depends. If you want to read/write it from Windows, you should use a Windows filesystem. Linux can read Windows, but without loading additional software into your windows install, it cannot read linux filesystems [19:25] DasEi: the server doesn't have a graphic card, so I need a headless xserver [19:25] is there a way to eliminate users being doubled on ubuntu 10.04 when suspending ? I'm the only one logged in the laptop now but because of suspending it shows 14 copies of my user on different pts [19:25] bj0rn__: see that not-checked checkbox next to "enable networking"? [19:26] goltoof: just think of the System Volume Information as a ... well, system folder used by the NTFS filesystem to keep itself safe from powerfailures and don't touch it [19:26] maco: it is greyed out, i cannot click it. [19:26] maco: mousing over the icon says "Network-Manager is not running" [19:26] mbeierl: oddly enough i never accessed the drive through windows, i don't think... i just have a windows vm that i use independent of any removable drives [19:27] bj0rn__: weird. ps -ef | grep network that shows that it is, though?

In that case, can you do a "mount" command from the terminal? Its output will tell you the type of filesystem on the drive [19:28] is it cause of RAID? [19:28] LeGambitteur: sudo service gdm restart [19:29] taxon: LXDE, Fluxbox, Openbox and FLWM will give you a nice slick lightweight desktop [19:29] * CensoredBiscuit is away: Oh baby, theres a shark in the water [19:29] maco: DasEi: thx [19:29] ActionParsnip: That make sense? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13765981/2011-01-31%2002.50.29.jpg [19:29] mbeierl: fuseblk [19:29] !away > CensoredBiscuit [19:29] CensoredBiscuit, please see my private message [19:29] maco: yes! you certainly can. that is the CLI connection program?

[19:31] ThatDudeButch: i guess [19:31] maco: thanks again for the help so far :) [19:32] ActionParsnip: thanks, trying now [19:32] goltoof: umm. Sorry - suddenly out of my depth if this is mounted via fuse. I'm not that up to date with changes there. Linux uses a series of variant of the "ext" filesystem, with the oldest being ext2, and the most recent release being ext4. Microsoft has 2 common types: FAT and NTFS. Pretty much all versions of Windows now create NTFS by default. Most "pre-formatted" external hard drives will be NTFS out of the box [19:33] Most flash drives are FAT. [19:33] hello, if im in the command line, how can I start the graphical mode in ubuntu? [19:33] Chilaquiles: usually startx [19:33] Chilaquiles: sudo service gdm start [19:33] By which I mean USB drives and flash cards. [19:33] or that. [19:33] startx: command not found. [19:34] Chilaquiles: how did you install ubuntu? [19:34] I didn't installed [19:34] I am connected through SSH [19:34] and I'm in the command line [19:34] but I can't see the desktop [19:35] Chilaquiles: well that probably would have been a wise thing to advise of.. i'm not sure how to start gdm from ssh [19:35] mbeierl: should've got a 2.0 drive, never had this problem with other drives right out of the box, stupid thing won't even work with my ps3. i'll reformat it to ext2/ext4 once i figure out how to copy stuff over, won't even let me do that. [19:35] I'm trying to dock my pidgin buddy list on the side of 1 of the desktops on my cube.. and remove the window deco from just that window [19:35] anybody know how I might go about that?? [19:36] Chilaquiles: you want vnc, not ssh. And I'm guessing you installed the -server version of ubuntu and don't have Xorg installed at all. So you'll want to install that and some window manager too [19:36] goltoof: sorry... I may have missed something you said earlier then. What is the issue with not being able to write to the disk? [19:36] mbeierl: oh no, i can write to disk, but some dirs won't let me write, remove or copy [19:37] Is there a way to specify the input and output audio device through command line? [19:37] dirs that belong to root??? [19:37] jrib: I think you can't connect through VNC to that server [19:37] goltoof: the System Volume Information is an understandable case for a directory that cannot be touched. What others are not accessible? [19:37] mbeierl: i got a lot of stuff i just put on there, because i'm reinstalling ubuntu, but i'm scurred to use it as a backup drive with all this nonsense === tommi is now known as tommis [19:37] jrib: try it elra-01.cs.colorado.edu [19:38] Chilaquiles: then install vnc if you want vnc [19:38] Im not an admin on that server [19:38] goltoof: what other nonsense is there? There might be a reasonable explanation for these things...? [19:38] hello there, can somebody help me install a share library(.so) [19:38] Chilaquiles: then tell the admin what you want to do [19:39] toks: what filename? [19:39] ActionParsnip: libsimclist.so [19:39] mbeierl: a couple other dirs [19:39] mbeierl: not windows related just containing some video, music files etc [19:40] toks: put it in /lib if you are using 64bit and it's a 32bit lib then put it in /usr/lib32 (I believe thats the folder) [19:40] goltoof: did you put these directories there, or were they there already? [19:40] having some serious issues installing ubuntu 10.10 (alternative) on a SSD drive (first luks, then ext4), getting massive I/O-errors.. is there anything that has to be made differently on a SSD-drive compared to a regular SATA-drive? [19:41] ilon: No. [19:41] mbeierl: i put them there, from ubuntu, but i might have accessed these dirs in windows at some point in time, might explain why they can't be removed now [19:41] KirkMcDonald: ok, thnka you. [19:41] ilon: What brand is the SSD? [19:41] ActionParsnip: is there a way to refresh things after that? cause i do #include and it doesnt work [19:41] ilon: one the controller is setup then the drive technology in the attatced drive is moot [19:41] goltoof: ok, what is the permission for the directory set to. "ls -ld directory-name" [19:41] ActionParsnip: i also tried /usr/lib [19:42] ilon, is ahci enabled for the sata controller in the bios? [19:42] toks: don't think so, you will have to restart the app which uses it if its already running [19:43] toks: are you sure it's not libsim.so [19:43] compdoc: first thing i checked before even started the installer :) [19:43] goltoof: why I ask is that it is possible the directory is owned by root, or has permissions on it that prevent your current user from manipulating it. You're familiar with filesystem permissions, root, etc? just let me know if I'm going over ground that was already covered. [19:43] KirkMcDonald: corsair [19:43] mbeierl: drwx------ 1 lee lee 8192 2011-01-31 12:34 . [19:43] can anyone help me install netbeans on ubuntu? [19:43] mbeierl: but i can't chmod the dir [19:44] ActionParsnip: yes its not libsim.so, i cant understand why it doesnt work [19:44] goltoof: and you are "lee"? [19:44] Stormed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans [19:44] I bought my first SSD - a 60 gig that I use to boot a server. works gud [19:44] toks, you did install the source code you're referencing - simclist.h does exist? [19:44] mbeierl: yes, but you can call me goltoof ;) [19:44] thanks actionparsnip [19:44] ilon: Is this a brand new drive? [19:44] g_o_o: where should i put the source cause ive missed that point [19:45] toks: can you give the output of: lsb_release -c thanks [19:45] Has anybody used Zentyal to configure a FreeRadius server on Ubuntu? I'm curious if the access points that I am to set up with Zentyal/Ubuntu are to get DHCP addresses or if they must be static. [19:45] er [19:45] Has anybody used Zentyal to configure a FreeRadius server on Ubuntu? (ignore the rest) [19:45] goltoof: I don't think you'd answer to "lee" anyway :) Of course. So, according to the file list you showed, the user lee created that directory today, and has read/write/execute permissions on the directory. Yet you cannot delete it? Or is it that you can no longer manipulate the files in the directory? [19:46] KirkMcDonald: no, a used one, but havent had any I/O-errors prior to this date afaik [19:46] mbeierl: i can sudo chmod any file or dir for command line but it still doesn't change it [19:46] goltoof: cd into the directory, and issue the following commands "touch test" ; "ls -l test" ; "rm test" [19:46] ilon: I'm not familiar with that brand of SSD specifically, but I would look up which SMART statistics are recorded by that model of drive. [19:46] ilon: They should give you a sense of how used the drive is. [19:47] toks, how are you referencing the header file? === zz_hsa2 is now known as hsa2 [19:47] g_o_o: #include [19:47] goltoof: if it really is NTFS, I'm not sure that the concept of chmod works the same way. it might be representing the permissions of the directory as rwx as that is all that is possible to show. The concept of group and world are different in windows than under unix. [19:48] toks, what is the path to the header file? [19:48] ActionParsnip: Codename: Maverick [19:48] who talked to me? [19:48] g_o_o: /lib [19:48] i'm trying to use parted on an hfs+ filesystem, how do I get the start and end block? print just shows 200gb as the end block. [19:48] toks, the library or the source code [19:48] mbeierl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560710/ [19:48] g_o_o: the library [19:49] KirkMcDonald: yeah, will take a peek if i cant get it to work properly, otherwise i'll just go with my regular drive, and do some tests on the SSD when i have the time [19:49] goltoof: to clearify, ntfs won't take linux permissions at all [19:49] toks, but you're writing code which references this lib? [19:49] g_o_o: where should i put the source? its the first time i do this [19:49] mbeierl: hit the nail on the head [19:49] you can put the source where you want create a dir in your home directory [19:49] g_o_o: thats correct [19:49] DasEi: hmmm.. that explains a lot! even as fusemnt? [19:50] err, fuseblk [19:50] then include header file as #include "path_to_file/simclist.h" [19:50] toks: http://packages.debian.org/sid/mipsel/sim/filelist shows the location in Debian, it may help [19:50] goltoof: oh. yes, you did mention I/O error. [19:50] goltoof: yes, this is how data is organized on ext and other fs-systems, they aren't compatible regarding permissions [19:51] * lee demands his files back from goltoof [19:51] goltoof: I'm suspecting something different now. Can you do a tail -20 /var/log/messages and tell me if there are any "errors" reported there? [19:51] goltoof: permissions are part of the used fs, called metadata [19:52] mbeierl: no errors, just new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 114 [19:52] mbeierl: reporting a diff address every second [19:53] goltoof: well. that is good. For a moment there I was thinking hard disk was... what? [19:53] lol [19:53] ActionParsnip: to make it easier is there a library for linked lists that comes with the distribution? [19:53] goltoof: really? That sounds like a bad cable [19:53] mbeierl: well, it is usb 3.0... funky looking cable [19:53] goltoof: it is disconnecting and reconnecting at a mad pace. that's the I/O error. but ... why? [19:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/560711/ [19:54] goltoof: that is most interesting. I suspect that is the cause of the problems. The device keeps getting disconnected and you're losing the ability to manage it. [19:54] mbeierl: i don't get i/o error in all dirs, just certain dirs [19:56] toks, the code for the SimCList package is available here http://mij.oltrelinux.com/devel/simclist/ [19:56] goltoof: I unfortunately need to drop for a bit, but I'd suggesting looking into the method of connection (ie: fuse driver vs. direct mount using ntfs) or googling "+ubuntu +make of drive +new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd" etc... to see if that sheds some more light [19:56] hey, guys, ubuntu does not recognize my laptop's touchpad [19:56] it just happened today [19:57] hey [19:57] anyone else not being able to connect to facebook chat via empathy? sometimes it works, most times it doesn't. it's extremely annoying [19:58] my xinput list: http://pastebin.com/Ew4fmSAQ [19:58] mbeierl: yea i'm off to lunch, i'll look into that, could be something to do with 3.0 compatibility, or ntfs problem, or both... thanks for everything [19:58] g_o_o: i know thats what i am trying to install, i now found i package libsimplelist0, maybe it is what i want [19:58] goltoof: wish I could have helped more... best of luck and might see you later... [20:00] Lost my windowborders, metacity --replace brings it back. but next boot it lost again. What can i do? [20:00] g_o_o: ok i found what was going wrong [20:01] toks, wrong path? [20:01] nobody?

[20:14] Flare183: tried to reinstall, but i get a grub message saying install grub to mbr not os [20:14] Jordan_U: yup, im on the system now [20:15] gnuskool: Assuming the drive you want to install to is sda, run "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" do *not* try to install to a partition like /dev/sda1. [20:15] gnuskool: If you used windows to resize it, it probably corrupted grub [20:15] using ubuntu, but i can see all other Oss in the boot menu, but did not try them [20:15] gnuskool, did you create a new partition? [20:16] Jordan_U: is that to install to MBR? [20:16] gnuskool: Yes, "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" will install grub to the mbr. [20:16] g_o_o: nah, resized an ntfs partition in win7 [20:17] g_o_o: so yeah, he created a new partition.. :) [20:17] Jordan_U: ok, run that while im in the system or logout first?

[20:19] This is on an Intel graphics chipset - does anyone have any ideas?

[20:29] Jordan_U: true - just thought there was a direct way to expand the ntfs partition without jumping through hoops [20:29] does anyone have any ideas on why Plymouth would be blanking my screen during boot-up?

[21:14] jrib, ok and there is an install in my desktop which was necessary when i installed the os.Can i delete it? [21:15] hello there [21:15] goltoof: ok, gonna do a quick google on filesystem / external drive recovery. I came across something not too long ago. And, yes you can reformat, but you lose ALL the data when you do that [21:15] i'm looking for some help! [21:15] does anyone know how to format a external wd drive for linux and windows [21:15] mbeierl: precisely why i'd like to copy it over first ;) [21:15] hi folks.... my ubuntu 10.04 box just froze (not responsive to mouse/keyboard). this usually happens once a day but cpu temp is only 42*c (core 2 duo). im on my laptop now; is there anything i can do to find out WHY its freezing (before i just restart and hope for the best again) [21:15] bluedust, doesnt /system/administration/disk utility help with that? [21:16] i've used ntfsresize to shrink a partition, but i can't seem to grow the partition!

After taking some help from here it got fixed. But after restarting the machine the problem still exist? Any help appreciated! [21:17] hi all! [21:17] ? [21:17] bluedust, understood...well if you are on ubuntu at this moment...then look under /System/Administration/Disk Utility that should get you started with formtting an external drive [21:17] bluedust, you dont want to format it at ext3 or 4 if you are using this for windows as well...probably fat [21:18] can anyone help with integrating MPlayer in Chromium? [21:19] so if i format it as fat 32 windows will understand [21:19] bluedust, yes it will [21:19] arooni-mobile: try to boot using a livecd, that's what I do to findout if it's a hardware problem or a software one. [21:19] hi, i am on 10.04,sometime back I posted about the problem about sound output both ways(speaker and headphone) even after i plug in the headphones. After taking some help from here it got fixed. But after restarting the machine the problem still exist? Any help appreciated! How to go fix this? [21:19] LeGambitteur, what will that tell me [21:19] goltoof: ah, yes that was the one: photorec. it looks for "known file headers" and attempts to pull the content off the device: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [21:19] sl33k_, system, preferences, sound then choose output tab, then at the bottom choose connector analog output [21:20] LeGambitteur, i mean i can use the computer for about 24 hours and it freezes again [21:20] hmm. any ideas how I might be able to always get the icon for a portable external harddrive to always display in the same position (specified by the user) on the desktop? Horribly on-topic I know... [21:20] sl33k_, does that fix your problem? [21:20] I have a computer running Ubuntu 9.04 that connects to the internet via ethernet and to an internal network via a wireless adapter. If the internal network is accessed first when the network is started then I cannot access ethernet. Any ideas? [21:20] mbeierl: soo, where to start? [21:21] 9.10 I think [21:21] goltoof: ddresuce (the gnu one) is another good option - it tries to pull the raw partition onto your local filesystem and then you can mount it [21:21] goltoof: how much space do you have of direct attached storage? [21:21] kelsey, are the external connection and internal connections on different subnets? [21:21] i get an nfs permission denied error, where can i fix this? [21:21] why the terminal doesnt recognize Isusb? [21:22] how to install a tar.bz2 file? [21:22] mbeierl: enough [21:22] BuMpIc: LSUSB, its a l [21:22] oh [21:22] :D [21:22] ok thanx [21:22] g_o_o: I'm fairly certain they are.

[21:22] can someone please tell me where i can find my windows files in ubuntu [21:23] arooni-mobile: I'v got the same problem with my pentium IV, with that I'v fount that it was not a file system or any modification I'v done that causes the problem, so I'v checked all the hardware and finally found that it was the graphic card. [21:23] d4n1s: ok long story short you don't, they are what you'd call tar balls, you extract and compile them [21:23] LeGambitteur, how did you check all hard ware? [21:23] sl33k_, beneath that it says connector, drop down box choose analog output [21:23] goltoof: enough to copy the entire partition of the USB drive over, and then extract a copy of the data? (ie: if it's a 200gb drive that is 50% full, you need 200gb + 100gb for the data after) [21:23] i formatted my pendrive form NTFS into EXT3 but my linux doesnt see him so i cant see it in gnome.Why is that? [21:23] mbeierl: well, the usb drive is 1tb, local is only 750gb [21:23] mbeierl: so, this may not work? [21:23] can someone help me editing the php.ini file in ubuntu server? [21:24] Personal anyone know how I change the login screen of ubuntu? [21:24] aeon-ltd I try to but I get compile errors [21:24] I need help in installing wubi in win 7 ... I am getting retval=1 while trying to install it [21:24] wtf is going on with linux [21:24] I can provide the trace as well [21:24] kelsey, when connected wirelessly you are on a different subnet from the external connection [21:24] mbeierl: the drive is not full, but still it needs to yank the full partition? [21:24] 10000000 times stick with ur linux, with 2 clicks u can do pretty much everything! [21:24] goltoof: urg. no, but maybe we can run ddresuce on the drive without making a local copy [21:24] with ur windows* [21:24] g_o_o: its already analog output [21:25] kelsey, you can edit you routing table to see the other subnet [21:25] Any idea why my headphone jack doesn't work. Using ubuntu 10.10 [21:25] sl33k_, [21:25] goltoof: the premise is to remove the content as quickly as possible without using the disk any further - that's the reason for the first copy. So, what device is the drive attached as? [21:25] sudo apt-get windows7 [21:25] arooni-mobile: by removing all the stuf I'v added before (modem card, raid controller card, ...), checking the voltages in the bios monitor... [21:25] sl33k_, open terminal type alsamixer and check if the channels are muted [21:25] goltoof: that is the real question. See it might not even show up as a /dev/sdX device if it's the fuser mount thing [21:25] What is the difference between a window manager and a desktop environment? [21:25] mbeierl: /dev/sdb1 [21:25] g_o_o: Yes [21:26] mbeierl: no, it shows, but ddrescue requires the new media to be larger that the fail disk [21:26] !ubottu windowmanager [21:26] goltoof: that rocks! good. ok, let's install ddrescue from that site I sent: sudo apt-get install gddrescue [21:26] hi again [21:27] ah yes after hours of begging for help and getting absolutly none "thanks by the way" i have found what i was looking for accidently [21:27] kelsey, check man route for more information [21:27] I need help in wubi install ... any1? [21:27] g_o_o: master 74<>74 ---- pcm 100<>100 [21:27] goltoof: that is if the disk itself is unreadable. we might be able to do this another way... hang on a moment...? [21:28] hey guys [21:28] g_o_o: Alright I will. Thanks. [21:28] sl33k_, do the channels say MM at the bottom? [21:28] mbeierl: i confuse... i got 200gb on the fail disk.. oh oko [21:28] anyone personally had a "No root file system detected" error before? [21:28] how can i make that if i double click to a pdf then it will opened wih my pdf viewer? [21:28] g_o_o: no [21:29] goltoof: going down that list ... "foremost - Foremost can recover files from an image of the drive, or from the drive directly" Let's try using formost to read the drive instead of fuse [21:29] sl33k_, when did the sound stop working? [21:29] goltoof: sudo apt-get install foremost [21:29] BuMpIc: right click, open with, always open with this application (or similar) [21:29] g_o_o: after restarting [21:30] sl33k_, was there sound at logon? [21:30] aeon-ltd, thank you [21:30] goltoof: and then it appears to be simple enough: "sudo foremost -i /dev/sdb -o /recovery/foremost" where /recovery/foremost is a directory that you create, or use "-o ~/recovered_data" or so instead [21:31] g_o_o: ya it was there. The problem is that after putting headphones the sound also comes from the laptop speaker [21:31] need help plz : every time I reboot the system I need to change visal effects so I can get the windows border, boutons, .... How to fix that one time for all ? [21:32] g_o_o: in addition to the headphone output [21:32] LeGambitteur: are you using compiz? [21:32] aeon-ltd: yas [21:32] sl33k_, ah ok and if you mute the laptops speakers what happens? [21:32] mbeierl: can't umount sdb1.. busy? [21:32] LeGambitteur: alt-f2, compiz --replace --- after this it should just remember next boot [21:32] how do i make it not busy? [21:33] g_o_o: mutes like normal [21:33] LeGambitteur: "compiz --replace" [21:33] aeon-ltd: thx a lot ;) [21:33] goltoof: that's interesting. so let's see what is using it: "sudo lsof | grep sdb" [21:34] mbeierl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560741/ [21:35] hi friends [21:36] goltoof: Ah. of course - the thing that is using sdb1 is the ntfs mount program. So, what directory does it show up as "mount | grep sdb1" - then use that to grep the output of lsof. Sorry 'bout that. [21:36] if in open with it needs other.. and i have to write something into the aplication area what i have to write?

Reformat is a good idea at this time, but ... I'd still think you would like to get to the root cause at some point before trusting that disk again. [21:46] mbeierl: looks like this will take a while... but after i get all this it's on to reformat, re-backup, and finally reinstall [21:46] mbeierl: you have officially made my day sir [21:46] what are the typical setting for alsamixer? [21:46] okay, found it...setting xterm*boldMode: false [21:47] goltoof: good to know. Btw, I've got an external disk at home that I'd like to recover, so this saved my day too! [21:47] mbeierl: yea, best way to learn is to teach, i find [21:48] goltoof: another thing that can take some time is to do a surface scan of the disk, looking for bad sectors. A destructive test is okay at the time of formatting. I'm going to do a search for a surface scan utility for this... [21:48] mbeierl: you don't think it being ntfs is the problem? [21:48] goltoof: it IS possible, but... it's data, I'd rather prefer to be sure before using the disk again, just in case.

I have tried a 'sudo /etc/init.d/xdrp restart' ... to no effect! what is wrong? [22:07] gunndawg: Not the partition I was going to install to [22:07] axsel: is spotify a good music player? I still need to load one on here [22:08] mikebot: I am not to sure then [22:08] gunndawg: Best there ever is. It is my number one choice for _all_ platforms [22:08] axsel: cool, thx === m1dn1ght is now known as Guest72972 [22:09] mikebot, when you see the small symbol at the first couple of seconds booting, press a key, you get a menu, then press (F6 ? i think) and choose other options like noacpi and or nomodeset [22:09] mongy: f6? [22:10] Hi guys :) [22:10] mikebot, when you press a key, you will get a menu and you will see what to press [22:10] mikebot, its either F5 or F6 [22:10] I have a challenge for you :) [22:11] Русскии есть [22:11] where can i download Mike Galbraith patch for linux kernel 2.6.37??? === Guest72972 is now known as gergio [22:11] I want my laptop's webcam to work ... But I can't enable it :( (fn+f9 not working, no bios option and no windows) [22:11] conky is a cool stuff lol [22:11] what does etc stand for/mean? [22:11] i try to install unbuntu 10.10 but... but after I recognize my hdd is DR-DOS] A: \> What should I write further to continue the instalation procces [22:11] if under netstat -rn the wrong device is listed for a destination, how do I change it to the correct one? [22:12] mongy: OK, I'll try that, thank you! [22:12] Sc0tt, /etc, do you mean? [22:12] Spice-boy, oh boy good ol Dr-Dos [22:13] you have to make a boot disk and boot to that to uninstall, as for the process outline I don't recall, google for dr dos user guide it is pretty good [22:13] mongy: Oh, I press any key, and then I'll know what to press? [22:13] hi guys - I'm having some trouble with a display driver that is preventing me doing anything with my system. I just installed the most recent ATI driver for my graphics card from the ATI site and now my display won't work at all. Is there some way to wipe all drivers/display settings back to default? Also, is there something I can press to stop Ubuntu booting straight into a gui? Can't figure out what to press and when to access grub menu [22:13] I want my laptop's webcam to work ... But I can't enable it :( (fn+f9 not working, no bios option and no windows) [22:14] ok thank you jocrawfo [22:14] gergio: ctrl + alt + F1 should put you in a terminal. [22:14] gergio, backup & remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, perhaps? (not speaking from a position of authority, here) [22:14] noisemaker: do you have cheese installed? [22:14] mikebot, when the screen goes purple and you see the keyboard image at the bottom, press a key.. then yes, you see a menu, at the bottom tells you F6 for other options or something, choose it, a small menu appears, select noacpi [22:14] axsel: I cant seem to find spotify using apt-get or in the package manager, how did you obtain it, and is it free? [22:15] mongy: OK, thank you very much, I'm going to try right now. [22:15] I am having trouble with rdesktop... when logging into a server that was working fine... rdesktop doesn't finish its init. the last thing it prints is 'sending login info to sesman' then it hangs... I have tried a 'sudo /etc/init.d/xdrp restart' ... to no effect! ... when running from a terminal rdesktop doesn't print anything... what is wrong? [22:15] Spice-boy, what I will tell you is that it appears to be a PITA to remove Dr-Dos [22:15] KirkMcDonald, thanks - gonna try that now. [22:15] gunndawg: Check out spotify.com - They have a beta linux version (and you know it is not an mp3 player right? It is a service for streaming music from their servers) [22:15] mikebot, if that works, it just means you wont be able to shutdown properly.. meaning when you shut down you will then have to power off yourself :( [22:15] BuMpIc, kpdf works well as mentioned, I see that acroread seems to be deprcated for maverick ..I run kde so okular works as well [22:15] hi all :) what webkit browsers are available in the latest LTS? [22:15] neil_d, sounds like the host you're connecting to is hung or not resolvable? can you ping it? [22:16] hello all [22:16] axsel: ah ok, I am looking for a decent mp3 player much like winamp on windows [22:16] hi, I installed an 10.10 server and am now unable to access my aes encrypted (without luks) disk, cryptdisks_start works but i cant mount (xfs) it, what can i try ? has anything changed ? default options for encryption ? [22:16] mongy: Is there a reason it's doing this? I've never had this problem with ubuntu [22:16] mikebot, try it anyway... it might be something else alltogether also. [22:16] mongy: Well, let me try it first...brb [22:16] gaz|schmooster: I am currently ssh into it now! [22:16] who speek french ? [22:16] BluesKaj, ok but i cant do that pdfs in the gnome commander automatically opened with it [22:16] gunndawg: then you don't want spotify :) [22:16] KirkMcDonald - that keyboard shortcut does make my screen go blank as though it were switching, but then no terminal appears. [22:16] yeah I meant /etc [22:16] axsel: can you recommend a good mp3 player? [22:17] hdon, `apt-cache search webkit` [22:17] gunndawg, spotify for linux as far as I know is only for paid subscribers. [22:17] gaz|schmooster, thanks for the suggestion [22:17] gaz|schmooster: ping times about 700ms [22:17] i need help... in google chrome and chromium browser.. when i try to go fullscreen on a video, is say that flash plugin crashes [22:17] gunndawg well not really. Check out mpd. or the ubuntu wiki, they would have some other examples [22:17] how do you edit the Iface values in the information listed for netstat? The wrong one is getting assigned. [22:18] ThinkT510, Actually I cannot go that far, the camera is not listed in lsusb because it's internally disabled ... I just need a way to enable it again... [22:18] KirkMcDonald, Is there some way to halt the boot process and just go into a prompt before it attempts to load X? [22:18] neil_d, hmm, sorry, out of ideas then. basic host problems? full disc/high load? [22:18] hdon, np [22:19] i need help... in google chrome and chromium browser.. when i try to go fullscreen on a video, is say that flash plugin crashes. CAN ANYONE HELP...? [22:19] How do you apply a patch file? [22:20] after installing winxp on a 130gb hd with only 99gb left the ubuntu 10.10 install stage allocate drive space prompts to install alongside other OS but it's just showing a total of 30gb or so, and not the free space of about 100gb... [22:20] gaz|schmooster: load about 0.77, disk at about 3% [22:21] gunndawg: audacious [22:21] ScOtt: editable text files [22:21] ah thanks Think [22:21] ThinkT510: thanks === cheWie00 is now known as cheWie0 [22:21] gergio, keep trying to hit "ctrl + alt + F1" if X is in the way. aside from that, the "first thing that happens" when your machine boots, after the BIOS checks, is GRUB starting - you may have a very small delay in which to affect it's running, but hold SHIFT [22:21] "The user can interrupt the boot process and display the menu by holding down the SHIFT key until the menu displays." [22:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 === root is now known as Guest73296 [22:22] neil_d, some crazy config thing, is my next best guess :) [22:22] gunndawg, ScOtt: np [22:22] gaz|schmooster, thanks for that advice - I'm going to try that now [22:22] gizmobay, go into the appropriate directory, enter: `patch -p0 as it says in `man patch` [22:23] gergio, good luck [22:23] can anyone help me mount my existing (created with 7.04) encrypted disk in 10.10 ?

[22:26] how can i fix my panel, computer was acting really slow, i went to reboot and now no panel shows up [22:26] after reboot [22:26] ahklerner: try typing gnome-panel & in terminal [22:26] gizmobay, that probably means it's done something useful - can you check for changes in the files referenced in the patch? [22:26] goltoof: in you irc client? Most are scriptable and can do filterin.. if you read their docs/.learn the advanced features of them [22:26] running xfce4-panel gives me yuck default one [22:26] mongy: Ugh... so hitting a key worked, and the menu came up, but I tried the noaspci thing, and tried to both (1) run from usb, and (2) install, and go the same terminal-freeze thing...

[22:28] gergio, don't thank me until I've been useful :D [22:28] ubu10: ps, chromium less stable than chrome.. try ff too [22:29] g_o_o: I do not know how to do that. Any pointers? [22:30] ubu10, there's a chance it's display driver or window manager related, if you can't find other bug reports about it: try another window manager, or different display driver, if you can? [22:30] mikebot, sounds like a video card thing, hmm. Do you have access to an ubuntu/linux machine? [22:30] * gaz|schmooster is away: I'm busy [22:30] mongy: unfortunately no :/ It just broke === lost is now known as Guest4547 [22:31] does anybody know of some network hardware that actually reliably works in linux? I have Intel Pro/Wireless 4965 and after a period of use, it just magically stops working.... and I have realtek RTL8111/8168B ethernet hardware and it randomly stops working too. And they stop working at different times. I've never had them both stop working at the same time. Honestly Ubuntu 10.10 needs rebooting more than win 95. [22:31] mongy: SO I had to buy this new machine -- lenovo s10-3... maybe the resolution of it is the bad thing? [22:31] gaz|schmooster, unless I'm doing something completely ridiculous, there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf - the file just isn't there [22:32] mikebot, is it an intel video card/ [22:32] mongy: Um, not sure... let me try to check [22:32] CaneToad: i'd suspect some sort of hardware issue.. cuz i have that same realtek device, and it never has caused me a problem [22:32] KM0201: works perfectly under win (??????) [22:33] Yeah i'm having gfx card issues too read guides but can't figure out if the xorg file is obsolete or what seems ubuntu 10.10 doesn't have it by defatult === richard is now known as Guest84599 [22:33] CaneToad: dunno..t hat is strange. [22:34] mongy: IS this it? 10.1" 1024x600 LED Display (16:9); Intel GMA 3150 Graphics [22:34] gaz|schmooster, just using aptitude to purge the whole xserver-xorg package and reinstalling it [22:34] CaneToad: which makes me think it's a driver issue, but yeah sometimes a new card does the trick [22:34] #join ##politics [22:34] bah [22:34] mikebot, yeah.... I thought maybe 'nomodeset' might have worked [22:34] goltoof: new card == new PC [notebook] [22:34] CaneToad: oic [22:34] mongy: UNR is not compatible with INterl vid cards? [22:35] mikebot, it is... [22:35] CaneToad: does your network connections icon disappear until you reboot? i've experienced that before [22:35] anyone have any experience with changing propriety radeon drivers? I'm stumped [22:35] gergio: newer Xorg doesn't need xorg.conf but it will obey it if you create one [22:36] i need to now how to reinstall the ubuntu 10.10 default kernel [22:36] goltoof: dunno about icons, but dhclient on the network interface can't bring it up [22:36] mikebot, just the desktop installer seems to have issues with intel video cards. [22:36] mikebot, is this 10.10 netbook ?? [22:36] mongy: Is there another way to install it? There's an exe in the main usb folder... [22:37] mikebot, so nomodeset didnt work? [22:37] mongy: Yeah, 10.10 [22:37] mikebot, the netbook version of it ? [22:37] mongy: Oh, I didn't try nomodeset, I tried to noaspci something [22:38] mongy: THis is the netbook version [22:38] OK - purging and reinstalling xserver-xorg didn't help. I'm still getting the Ubuntu splash screen and then just blackness. Also, after I reinstalled xserver-xorg and ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" nothing happened - though I'm not sure if anything was meant to.... [22:38] mikebot, nomodeset, then as a last resort, acpi=off [22:38] mongy: I think the default was on acpi=off [22:38] mongy: OK, let me try nomodeset [22:38] mongy: (Thank you *very* much for your help!!)

I can get to a root prompt but if I let the boot progress past the splash screen everything goes blank (though I still hear the little drums at the login screen).

Else I give up [23:06] I have already startedd brasero [23:06] DasEi i already have those installed [23:07] <_joey> VCoolio: it's just fscked up, that's all [23:07] mongy: no luck :( === Enissay_ is now known as Enissay [23:07] Anyone know how to install ubuntu when the usb boot doesn't work? [23:08] chaos2358: from the system>prefrences should be able to select default printer [23:08] mikebot: sorry, mongy left [23:08] <_joey> VCoolio: may be I will all /home/joey/stata to $PATH ? [23:08] mikebot: whole story ? [23:08] ThinkT510: Yeah :/ [23:08] What do I do with boot.img.gz? [23:08] There are usb boot cd's if your comp doesnt' recognize usb as a boot option [23:09] DasEi: When I boot from usb, it quickly goes to the purple screen then straight to a terminal-like screen and a bunch of stuff flashes and it then freezes [23:09] DasEi, in system>pref i have no options relating to printing [23:09] DasEi: someone else told me to press a button on the purple screen and that brought up menus, but when I tried to run or install, the same terminal thing happened [23:09] DasEi: I also tried doing the noaspci and nomodeset and aspci=off things, but the same result [23:09] mikebot: ic, so usb itself works then, try alternate ways of usb utils, what did you use ? [23:09] DasEi: Someone else thought it was my Intel vid card, but I have no clue... [23:10] DasEi: I haven't tried anything else [23:10] mikebot: starupcreator, unetbootin, pendrivelinux... [23:10] _joey: that will only help to execute stata-se directly without path, but give it a shot; you know how to do that? [23:10] DasEi: Oh, I made the usb with pendrivelinux [23:10] How do I use the boot.img.gz? [23:10] <_joey> VCoolio: what else can I try? [23:10] DasEi: And I did an md5 thing to check the iso image and it matched up [23:11] <_joey> maybe it needs to know the directory because it has all config files along with the executable [23:11] mikebot: try unetbootin or usb-creator (repo); seems like the boot is fine, but the install to it went wrong, thinkpad is very common and thus thankfull hardware [23:12] Hola a todos [23:12] DasEi: OK.. I also installed it on the usb with pendrive twice... once I formatted the usb myself, second time had pendrive format it [23:12] To prepare a USB stick, back up any data that you have on it (any data will be overwritten) and zcat boot.img.gz >> /dev/sdX where X is the letter of your USB stick. IS that all I have to do? [23:12] No copying or thinking? [23:12] _joey: yes, that's why I suggested cd blah && execute, to set current directory first; but add it to $PATH, won't hurt [23:12] mikebot: a pre-install to fat is recommended either way [23:12] pre-format, mikebot* [23:12] DasEi: OK... Can unetbootin format the usb drive? [23:13] mikebot: can, but better use gparted, new partitable, then format to fat32 (16 on older thumbs) [23:14] <_joey> VCoolio: where did you suggest that? [23:14] DasEi: OK, thank you. I will try both of those [23:15] _joey: 23:59 CET [23:15] <_joey> anyway, adding location to path did not solve it [23:15] mikebot: also o unetbootin, don't use the whole remaining space of unetbootin offering for persistant storage, just leave a ~200MB blank [23:16] DasEi: Um.. OK.. will that make sense when I open it? [23:16] mikebot: which size has the usb ? [23:16] _joey: put it on ubuntuforums in general help and go to bed before you get frustrated, try again tomorrow [23:17] DasEi: It is 1.9gb [23:17] Hello all. [23:17] Has anyone reported issues with Atheros cards after some updates that were pushed recently? [23:17] Does the default configuration of ubuntu's apache2 package include rate limiting? [23:18] mikebot: roughly estimated the install will fill 800MB, so give 900MB for storage, and unetbootin shall do the job [23:18] <_joey> VCoolio: I can understand why people are complaining about Desktop usability. Something as simple as running application from the panel and there are so many problems [23:18] DasEi: OK, great, thank you! [23:18] <_joey> I may just start it from terminal each time [23:18] if i type in alias rm="rm -i" will that ensure that rm -i is always used when using rm? [23:19] mikebot: this way can keep it for later life-purposes and also have room to save things [23:19] got disconnected but still having printer trouble. I have a canon mp250 all in one. the printer hooks in via usb and though whenen i plug it in the laptop recognizes it, i cannot print [23:19] DasEi, you still here [23:20] wanderingi: lil' dangerous on rm-commands; can do so in bash.bashrc [23:20] chaos2358: yupp [23:20] actually i was thinking rm -i was a default alias in some disrtos [23:21] wanderingi: /etc/bash.bashrc : alias remove="rm" , for example [23:21] wanderingi: alias's are normally set in .bashrc or .bash_profile or similer file. [23:21] thanks [23:21] wanderingi: if you wan tthem system wide. the /etc/bash.bashrc is where to go. [23:21] DasEi ok System>admin>printing shows no default printer.

OK IM AT WORK TIME TO GO roFL [23:43] KM0201 how can I find that out [23:44] 10.10 maverick wont install on Laptop [23:44] cb49747: "lspci" in a terminal should do it (thats a lowercase L) it'll output a bunch of stuff, find your wireless device [23:44] guys, is it possible to add network drives to the Files & Folders side menu in Ubuntu Netbook Edition shell ? [23:44] KimK: that version you see is likely for maverick or natty. It may work, but it's not available on lucid because of the update policy I mentioned previously. If you need later versions, the easiest way is to just use the official vbox repositories as someone else mentioned [23:44] DasEi ActionParsnip. ok i tried again and it still wouldnt work. so i went and downloaded the debian driver kit from here>> http://support-my.canon-asia.com/contents/MY/EN/0100236101.html << and it downloaded as a tar.gz file. I created a folder and extracted to it. Now what [23:44] bcm4312 [23:45] chaos2358: my printer automagically worked when I plugged into my computer and turned it on. Is that not the case for yours? [23:46] chaos2358: you d/l 'ed the deb ? [23:46] hi, i have just installed ubuntu on my sony vaio. my mouse pad doesnt work. but when i attach a USB mouse it does . What to do? [23:46] cb49747: ok... follow the instructions on that link i gave you.. make sure the STA packages are installed properly, and if that doesn't work, try the b43 driver... it's all on that link ubottu gave you a minute ago. [23:46] Jrib of course it worked automagically. I'm just bored and trying to find out how to make it work manually. DUHHH. [23:46] DasEi yes [23:46] cb49747: in my experience the best solution to deal with Broadcom wireless cards problems is to trash it and buy something based on the Atheros chipset for less than $10. For that you will get well supported drivers [23:46] chaos2358: oh you should do something more productive, but to each his own [23:46] DasEi and extracted it to a folder [23:46] chaos2358: sudo dpkg -i cnij [23:47] in that folder [23:47] john38: your issue? [23:47] KM thanks I will look at the link [23:47] what's an optimal format for a usb 3.0 drive that'll work well with both windows and ubuntu?

[23:48] Acid190, blinking line on top [23:48] DasEi ok that command is returning nothing [23:48] jrib, sockPants: Oh, there's an official Vbox repo? OK, I'll try that. At virtualbox.com I'd guess? I saw the debs, but I really like the automatic updates. Thanks! [23:48] if i have 1>&2 will that ensure stderr and stdout will write to the one file?
