[01:31] ValisTraitorsban: right click and untick the 'enable wireless' or whatever [01:31] ValisTraitorsban: in ubuntu, if you click on the network icon there is a disconnect option [01:32] K3rmit: best can mean different things, but it's the most current, and typically is very stable. [01:32] ok [01:32] hi, I just install ubuntu. how do i start internet ? [01:32] holy crap ubuntu is only 700MB? the other distros the downloads are 4GB+ [01:33] MaffW, go to Applications > Internet > Firefox [01:33] gunndawg: server not find [01:33] K3rmit: lucid is LTS so supported longer [01:33] K3rmit: Arch is better than ubuntu [01:33] huh? [01:33] Prolix: Your distro preferences are offtopic for this channel. [01:34] rww: care ? [01:34] K3rmit: thats because ubuntu just comes w/ a base of packages, and others are easily iinstalled via the ubuntu repositories [01:34] how do i start internet [01:34] K3rmit: Ubuntu deliberately keeps its ISOs CD-sized. Makes it a lot easier to hand CDs out for free. [01:34] Prolix: a little offtopic, but how much do you like arch and how hard it is it to setup, I've been thinking about installing arch for awhile [01:34] hmmm my NFS kernel daemon fails to start. Where do I check to get a better idea of what is going wrong? [01:34] K3rmit: best thing to do, is download the live CD, adn give it a run,, and see what you think.. if you encounter problems, come here, and we'll discuss them. [01:34] NixGeek: ask in PM or #archlinux, please. It's offtopic, as you said. [01:35] ok thanks guys [01:35] fire fox say server not find, why does internet not work [01:35] ActionParsnip, its no good still go speaker and headphones going at the same time [01:35] rww: sorry, but you have to admit there aren't a ton of things going on right now... [01:35] ActionParsnip: I don't want to disable the wireless .I want to disconnect for this network and still have the wireless enabled. [01:35] NixGeek: Its not as simple as ubuntu, as its designed for people to actaully have a choice in setup rather than being force fed [01:35] NixGeek, arch is great [01:35] K3rmit: ubuntu live cd's can be used before you install, so there's really no risk in just burning the cd and booting it. [01:36] i need some help! please- i have an APC backup es 350 ups SCREAMING. [01:36] NixGeek: installation of arch is simple tho [01:36] NixGeek, #ubuntu-offtopic is for chat [01:36] my internet not working [01:36] NixGeek: the channel guideline against being offtopic doesn't have "unless it's quiet" at the end ;) [01:36] how to start [01:36] :( [01:36] bazhang, you better shut up [01:36] i have dial up [01:36] lol [01:36] rww: I never accepted any t&c's or any legal crap [01:36] thomasc, thats not acceptable here . be civil [01:36] guys [01:36] Prolix: Perhaps you should read the message chanserv sent you when you joined the channel. [01:36] bazhang, i was only playing you fag. [01:36] jeez. [01:36] i am not able to switch users on my ubuntu desktop [01:37] MaffW: This is too general for us. Internet? wireless? LAN Network? [01:37] ActionParsnip, are you there [01:37] Excellent. Found the disconnect button in a different location than expected. [01:37] minimec: dial up [01:37] thomasc: Please don't use "fag" as a pejorative. [01:37] How do I get unity now [01:37] KM0201 ok but what about a distro for my hosted web server? [01:37] what is zeitgeist as it refers to ubuntu? [01:37] rww, what should i use instead, queer ? [01:37] K3rmit: CentOS? [01:37] K3rmit: just about every linux distro can do that... ubuntu is no exception [01:37] I am getting this error The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any .service files [01:37] minimec: the phone goes into the computer and windows say it is dial up [01:37] that was quick [01:37] awh rww you fucking quuer bait [01:37] awh rww you fucking quuer bait [01:37] awh rww you fucking quuer bait [01:37] awh rww you fucking quuer bait [01:37] awh rww you fucking quuer bait [01:37] awh rww you fucking quuer bait [01:37] thomasc: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:37] ok [01:37] MaffW: you would need a ppp-dial software [01:38] rww: I dont pay attention to that >null is the place for chanserv messages [01:38] minimec: how do i do that ? [01:38] 1. rww, good point, and I am normally on topic, sorry again. I tried to move it to a PM,a dn Prolix didn't respond in the PM 2. bazhang: you get onto me, after I try to move it to a PM, get onto Prolix, he was still off topic! [01:38] NixGeek: i just replied to your pm [01:38] rww: heh, noob spam [01:38] what is a ppp dial [01:38] what about be the most popular webserver distro KM0201 ? Best to learn for that? [01:39] ping can some onehelp me here [01:39] ? [01:39] i am new to ubuntu [01:39] K3rmit: again, most popular, best.. etc... is irrelevant its all about what meets your needs. [01:39] need help my ubuntu server dies [01:39] MaffW: INstall gnome-ppp for example. I don't know if that is the only solution. The last time I did a dial up connection, was some years ago. [01:39] anyone know why rythmbox would close whenever i move the volume slider too fast? [01:39] i am back in with plop and unetbootin [01:39] i want to recover files [01:39] minimec: how do i install that [01:39] i cd to / [01:39] K3rmit: running a server, is probably gong to require that you do some serious reading... [01:39] I dont mean to be a pest but I'm wondering if some of you can help me with my problem? [01:40] KM0201 I don't know what meets my needs. I just need to chose a linux distro for my host [01:40] but cannot see my old files under /opt [01:40] where are they? [01:40] MaffW: Applications Ubuntu Software Center [01:40] LinuxWouldBe, just ask the question, if anyone has an answer they'll respond [01:40] K3rmit: i would do some reading.. there are a gazillion options.... [01:40] brobinson: please stop using the return button as puncuation, it's rather annoying and hard to read.. [01:40] gunndawg: they already did ask the question [01:40] minimec: it cannot find internet [01:40] rww, then what does that tell you ? [01:40] gunndawg: that telling them to ask the question is pointless? [01:41] rww, no it tells you that no one has a solution, so spamming for help will probably yield the same response [01:41] gunndawg: good thing they weren't doing that, then. [01:42] rww, you got a question ? [01:42] my ubuntu server died, i am back in now with plop and unetbootin, i can ssh to the server and want to find my old files which were in /opt, how to i get to those old files from within the ubuntu live session? [01:42] rww: whats your quesiton ? [01:42] ? [01:42] ? [01:42] Prolix: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:42] MaffW: MAybe that is also part of the install disk, I don't know. You may download it on another computer and transfer it via usb stick http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gnome-ppp&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names [01:42] I'm running Ubuntu in a VirtualBox as a guest OS and I tried to install dropbox via the archive manager but could not find the dropbox icons. So I tried removing it and this is the error message I'm getting>>>nstallArchives() failed: dpkg: error processing nautilus-dropbox (--remove): Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should reinstall it before attempting a removal.

[01:46] hi guys.. im having sound problems on ubuntu 10.10. i had sound, then all of a sudden after a reboot i lost sound.. is there anyway to easily fix this? [01:47] ok, twitch, the answer I get from the CLI is the package nautlius-dropbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find the archive for it. [01:47] how do i install a gnome ppp? [01:47] MaffW: You need a software called gnome-ppp. Maybe you find that on the install disk. Try synaptic package software for that. That is the easist solution. [01:47] MaffW, by the package manager [01:48] tacotron what happened is this after an update? [01:48] joeoshawa: it may have been.. im sure i had told ubuntu NOT to update unless i authorized it.. so it shouldnt have [01:48] LinuxWouldBe: did you get the .deb package stright from dropbox? [01:48] Lucid lynx, on my Desktop I see Big icons of files/folders/directories, how can i make them small? [01:48] you have to put your password in for update so that would be no [01:49] strange [01:49] joeoshawa: i just ran an update and installed kernel 35-26 to see if maybe that would work.. but it didnt [01:49] my son just install ubuntu for me [01:49] !part [01:49] twicth: yes I did [01:49] JoeGazz84, /msg ubottu please [01:49] he say it would make my computer run faster [01:49] my ubuntu server died, i am back in now with plop and unetbootin, i can ssh to the server and want to find my old files which were in /opt, how to i get to those old files from within the ubuntu live session?

It doesn't know what I mean [01:50] LinuxWouldBe: +sudo at the front [01:50] I accidentally joined my bot [01:50] joeoshawa: it is strange.. so i dont know if an update ran.. that would be the only explainable cause for thebreak.. it wouldnt just stop.. which btw.. its only the speakers that dont output sound.. the mic headphone port still works [01:50] MaffW: you dont want to run ubuntu, you want OpenBSD to have it run faster. [01:50] tacidsky, thats not helpful [01:51] anyone know how to debug a machine that freezes randomly? caps and scroll lights blink, mouse and keyboard freeze... [01:51] can someone tell me how to turn off my security settings so i don't have to enter my password every freakin time i wanna do something, it's rather aggervating, including when i log on to ubuntu i have to enter my password twice, i dont need security settings at all i'm only one with any access to my pc [01:51] my ubuntu server died, i am back in now with plop and unetbootin, i can ssh to the server and want to find my old files which were in /opt, how do i get to those old files from within the ubuntu live session? [01:51] hello, i want to blur a part of a video, does ubuntu have any video editor that can do it? [01:51] tacotron hardware problem? did you try other speakers check the connection? [01:52] twitch: I just get the message>>> the package nautlius-dropbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find the archive for it [01:52] joeoshawa: i doubt its a hardware problem.. its a brandnew laptop.. i could boot into windows and see if i get audio [01:52] elvis2: all 3 keyboard lights blinking on and off indicates a kernel dump. maybe check /var/log/kern.log [01:52] good idea [01:52] how can i view my vlc crash in a log? [01:52] If I install ubuntu with Wubi, does it run through Windows, or is it just like intstalling it on a different partition with the live cd? [01:52] my ubuntu server died, i am back in now with plop and unetbootin, i can ssh to the server and want to find my old files which were in /opt, how do i get to those old files from within the ubuntu live session? [01:53] joeoshawa: if it does.. than i just give up on getting sound to work right.. for some reason snd-hda audio NEVER works with linux [01:53] they cant figure out the modules right or something id ont know [01:53] don't give up there is a fix [01:53] brobinson: quit repeating your quesiton, if someone knows the answer you will get the answer [01:53] help i need diall up [01:53] please help, i need to know if there is any video editor that can blur part of a video === LinuxWouldBe is now known as LinuxWouldBe-BRB [01:53] MaffW: why do you need dialup?

That should be gone after 1-2 minutes. That could be one explanation. [01:56] genii-around, no kern.log on my machine [01:56] minimec, it sounds like running faster [01:56] elvis2: this is the Ubuntu channel. [01:57] minimec, should i do correct it and how [01:57] induz: Did you use that machine a little longer now? Do you still think it's running 'faster' after 10 minutes of use? [01:57] joeoshawa: you can generate one with: sudo nvidia-xconfig [01:57] minimec, something is not right with the HD, but it runs smooth, with no sound on XP [01:57] Woah this is the ubuntu channel? I thoght this was woodshop [01:58] gpc, i know... it was suggested i ask in here... thanks for the reminder though... [01:58] elvis2, what does it have to do with ubuntu [01:58] elvis2, please explain [01:58] i did but it won't gimme 1440x1080 [01:58] minimec, when i am on Lucid it makes sound as " OOOOOOOOO'...or maybe the fan runs faster [01:58] elvis2: you're welcome.

GPU may use more power, specially on ATI I guess. [01:59] MaffW: stop wasting our time please. [01:59] even the desktop [02:00] USS_OHIO: please don't, sudo is there to stop mistakes [02:00] USS_OHIO: once you get the OS setup you will see that very rarely [02:00] can someone help me with the signing of the ubuntu code of conduct [02:00] how to use APC ups with ubuntu? apcupsd installed from repos doesn't seem to be working [02:00] timoharling, using seamonkey?

[02:01] what dvd cloning software is recommended for gnome? like a dvd shrinker? [02:01] ActionParsnip: So I cannot install it that way to an unallocated partition? [02:01] paq7512, ogmrip [02:01] mikebot: windows isnt touched, it just uses the (crappy) ntfs to store the disk image [02:01] minimec, how can i control the sound of the fan/HD? [02:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/561709/ here is my xorg.conf [02:02] ActionParsnip: I don't understand.... after it is installed, does it still touch the ntfs? [02:02] mikebot: no, you will install a normal (better) ubuntu using unpartitioned space [02:02] ok when i downloaded ubuntu ISO file in windows, ounce ubuntu is installed can i remove the ISO file? [02:02] ActionParsnip: Ughh OK thanks.... this install process is absurd [02:03] induz: Do you use the nvidia-property driver? You may have a possibility to undervolt the GPU. YOu could also try to undertvolt CPU. [02:03] that will also shrink dvd 9 to dvd 5? [02:03] mikebot: wubi makes a disk image in the ntfs, much like storing an ISO file on the partition, but you can change the wubi file wheras in ISO it is much harder [02:03] paq7512, double layer? [02:03] mikebot: yes, wubi is fine as a quick and dirty try before you buy but as a long term solution it stinks [02:03] minimec, no properietey driver [02:03] ActionParsnip: Wait, this is my question: is there any difference between installing ubuntu through Wubi and a live cd, once it is actually installed? [02:03] ok where do i get seahorse? the problem i have is with the signing procedure.. i have the key [02:03] induz: Try to install these once. That may help. [02:04] ActionParsnip: I'm clearly not understanding all the details here [02:04] sure [02:04] mikebot: one you have unpartitioned space you can simply tell the installer to use it and the dual boot will be handled, nice and easy [02:04] minimec, how? [02:04] ActionParsnip: Even from wubi? [02:04] does virtualization slow overall system preformance [02:04] timoharling, install from package manager, it makes signing that very easy ie generating keys and such [02:05] mikebot: the OS is identical, wubi wil suffer the shortcomings of ntfs as the 'disk' is store on ntfs, so fragmentation in ntfs will affect your wubi image [02:05] USS_OHIO yes you can but i would keep a copy of the install cd just in case [02:05] ActionParsnip: Does the wubi image get touched after ubuntu is installed? [02:05] Hi, question [02:05] ive noticed more application hangs since i enabled it [02:05] induz: Try >system >administration >Additional drivers. The software will tell you, if there is a driver for your GPU. [02:05] i have a 2.9 quad core amd athlon II [02:05] alter-ego, sure it does, its using ram [02:05] mikebot: also fixing wubi adds extra complications as you will need to mount the image then work on that wheras a true install will just allow you to mount the partitions which is much easier [02:06] I cannot adjust the brightness of my laptop display. Every time I use the appropriate key combination or do it through the panel, my system hangs and I need to restart itl [02:06] yes i have it on disk as well, im just trying to free up some space, 10 gigs is a nice little chunk of space. considering i only have 35 gigs left [02:06] mikebot: yes, the image can be upgraded and manipulated like a normal install [02:06] for cpu virtualization? [02:06] ActionParsnip: OK, this is what I want... I have an unallocated partition, and I want to install ubuntu on that. Can I do that with Wubi???? I don't care where the cd image is stored. I want the OS on a different partition. [02:06] im talkin about amd-v or the VT-v or watever intel has [02:06] alter-ego, vbox? qemu xen or what [02:06] system--admin--hardware driver.... it says there is no proprietary hardware driver on this system [02:06] yeah go ahead its only for burning the live cd it makes no difference after that [02:06] ActionParsnip: I want it to be like I installed it on a blank partition from the live cd [02:06] vbox [02:07] but im talkin about hardware virtualization [02:07] alter-ego, best try in #vbox [02:07] like adding more then 1 core [02:07] mikebot: you will need to partition it as ntfs then tel wubi to use it as storage, its a bit silly though as unpartitioned space can be turned into Ubuntu native install space [02:07] in bios [02:07] but even when the guest os isnt runninig [02:07] is when i notice it [02:07] minimec, there is no . additional Driver listed [02:07] induz: Ok. Is that a rather old nvidia card? [02:07] mikebot: you need to format the unallocated space to ntfs then you should be able to select the partition and install to it. [02:07] alter-ego, easy on the enter key, its impossible to follow you [02:07] minimec, yes its a old card with came with Dell dimension [02:08] ActionParsnip: I've tried 15 times to install ubuntu on the unallocated space (with different programs, versions of ubuntu, and the same sticks on different computers and none of them have worked) [02:08] when i enter gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt into the terminal it asks for a passcode and after i9 put it in i get this [02:08] gpg --clearsign UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt [02:08] minimec, induz problem a bug? hdd parking repeatedly? [02:08] gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session [02:08] gpg: can't open `UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt': No such file or directory [02:08] gpg: UbuntuCodeofConduct-1.1.txt: clearsign failed: file open error [02:08] mikebot: did you md5 test the ISO you used? [02:08] timoharling, I'd really recommend using seahorse for this [02:08] ActionParsnip: Yes, both of them [02:08] induz: still... I am surprised. [02:09] thats what im using [02:09] timoharling, you say 'the terminal' [02:09] ActionParsnip: Actually I used two different md5 things too, one that some guy from this chat made (on sourceforge), and winmd4sum [02:09] minimec, still its making sound [02:09] mikebot you can only have so many partitions regardless of the operating system if you go past this the space is useless unless you erase a partition [02:09] mikebot: that is because it is unallocated. the installer doesn't know how to handle that space, it's blank and doesn't read as usable. first format it. [02:09] 5** [02:09] mikebot: good, loads of folks don't [02:09] linuxpusher_, how can i find that BUg [02:09] you have to make it a partion first then format [02:10] linuxpusher_: induz: I don't know if it is HD or GPU (fan). I know that fan can be an issue compared to WInXP. On the other hand, I never had problems with HD and linux. [02:10] unallocated space has no partion [02:10] The installer can't even run (I tried it on my laptop and a school computer)... I'm probably doing something wrong, but so far no one has been able to tell me what that is. [02:10] mikebot: create a new partition in the space then when you install wubi you (should) be able to tell it to use the new empty partition [02:10] ActionParsnip: But I don't want it on ntfs [02:10] once partitioned it is unformatted space [02:10] listen i dont have time to be made fun of.. can i please get some help? god its like you people forget what the word ubuntu means [02:10] I've never had a problem installing ubuntu before, it really is a shame [02:10] mikebot: thats what wubi uses, or you can use fat32 but it isn't very robust [02:11] mikebot: did your liveCDs boot to a black screen? [02:11] ActionParsnip: I was using the usb, not a cd... they got to the screen with a symbol in the bottom (purple screen), and when I press a key the menu comes up, and when I click either run from usb or install, I get a terminal that scrolls a bunch of junk then freezes. [02:12] minimec, linuxpusher_ bye for now [02:12] induz: cu [02:12] ActionParsnip: That's when I used the pendrive... neither the usb-creator nor some other one worked as well [02:12] my nic doesn't always connect using dhcp [02:12] what is wrong? [02:13] mikebot: did you use the nomodeset to fix the black boot screen? [02:13] paq7512: wireless or wired? [02:13] wired [02:13] ActionParsnip: I did the very first time I installed (with UNR)... I'm at school, I'll try it on their computer now, one second [02:13] hello [02:13] paq7512: ok have you tried changing cable, or port on your router? [02:14] i have [02:14] is there a good tutorial on how to set up as a print server with ubuntu 10.10? [02:14] same thing, it connect fine on windows machines [02:14] hey folks having one hell of a time getting PDO to happen on my Ubuntu VPS.. can anyone assist? [02:14] does amd-v decrease overall system preformance? [02:14] would I have to format my usb drive when I try to install ubuntu from a usb drive? [02:14] ActionParsnip: Oh, I currently have the desktop version on the usb... there is no nomdeset option that I can see [02:14] ActionParsnip: (I did it when I tried the UNR one) [02:15] ubottu: cups | lotus-blade [02:15] lotus-blade: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [02:15] mikebot, can you tell us what partions you have on the drive your unallocated space is on [02:15] mikebot, all of them [02:15] how to use APC ups with ubuntu? apcupsd installed from repos doesn't seem to be working. can anybody help? i've configured it but the test fails [02:15] mikebot: use the F6 button and you can choose it, or you can manually edit the boot options and remove 'quiet splash' and change it to 'nomodeset' [02:15] joeoshawa: Sure, one second please [02:15] blahsphemer: not really but it can't hurt [02:15] cool [02:16] ActionParsnip: f6 just beeps and flashes the menu [02:16] ActionParsnip: (That's on the school computer) [02:16] ActionParsnip: no cuz mine is a 500GB external HD, and I have a lot of data on it. So I was wondering if it necessary [02:16] hey my headphone jack is not working on ubuntu can i get some help? [02:17] ActionParsnip: now that you've told me that it isn't _necessary_, I'll just go ahead w/o formatting [02:17] try alsamixer in terminal - make sure headphone volume is up and unmuted? [02:17] joeoshawa: On mine I have: 200mb NTFS, C: 59gb NTFS, 44gb unallocated, Lenovo: 9.81gb NTFS, 20.38 free space, 14.75gb OEM Partition [02:17] joeoshawa: This is all from the 'Computer Management' tool in Win 7 Starter [02:18] my headphone jack is not working in ubuntu can i have some help? [02:18] mikebot, that is your problem the unallocated space cannot be used because you have too many main partitions you cannot make any more partitions [02:19] joeoshawa: Oh... OK, let me ask the windows folks if they can recommend better, free partition software [02:19] avis: nothing is muted [02:19] mikebot, you can repartition from the live cd [02:19] joeoshawa: How? [02:19] Anybody know how to put the menus like File, View, Tools etc into gnome-panel? [02:19] There was an app for that, right? [02:19] Outside of Unity? [02:19] mikeliss: it's not software you're limited by, it is the partitioning that you currently have. There's a difference between Extended Partitions and Logical Partitions [02:20] joeoshawa: Oh, also, I cannot even run ubuntu from the usb... it gives me the same error. Not sure if that is affected by the partitions [02:20] where is the application crash log file? [02:20] blahsphemer: well then i suggest you partition off 1Gb of the space and transfer the install media to that [02:20] hook: I'm guessing that was for somebody else? [02:20] mikeliss: yep. [02:20] ActionParsnip: sounds good [02:20] sorry. [02:21] mikebot, first could you move the data from the 59 gb and 9.81 gb ntfs and join those together by removing them and making one big partition [02:21] my headphone jack isnt working on ubuntu can i have help? [02:21] then worry about the rest [02:21] skutr3, hardware issue? [02:21] can anyone recommend a text editor that supports ftp saving? kind of like ultraedit except liter [02:21] bazhang: no ive had it before [02:21] skutr3, check alsamixer [02:21] bazhang: i did [02:21] mikebot: globalmenu can do that if the menus in an app are coded in a certain way [02:21] mikebot, so at least you can make a partition to use the unallocated space [02:22] bazhang: nothing is muted [02:22] bazhang: someone gave me a command but i forgot what it was [02:22] andy-at-alba: if you mount the ftp, you can edit like the data was local [02:22] hello. would someone please help me diagnose the problem I have with samsung n210 and ubuntu NBR - I don't see an input device, and I have it, for sure. [02:22] skutr3, sounds like a hardware/cable issue [02:22] interesting idea [02:22] bazhang: its not cause someone gave me a command and it worked [02:23] bazhang: i cant remember it though [02:23] skutr3, what command [02:23] never tried it that way before one linux [02:23] on linux* [02:23] bazhang: i cant remember [02:23] hello. would someone please help me diagnose the problem I have with samsung n210 and ubuntu NBR - I don't see an sound input device, and I have it, for sure. [02:23] bazhang: something init [02:24] skutr3, when was this? [02:24] bazhang: like yesterday or the day before [02:24] andy-at-alba: nautilus can mount ftp [02:24] g_0_0: hey what was that command for the headphones? [02:24] how to use APC ups with ubuntu? apcupsd installed from repos doesn't seem to be working. can anybody help? i've configured it but the test fails [02:24] skutr3, I doubt a single command would do that; I'd suspect a dodgy cable/connection instead [02:25] skutr3, you can check the logs if you wish though [02:25] bazhang: well it did [02:25] skutr3: irclogs/freenode/#ubuntu/#ubuntu freenode2011-02-02.log:02:36:45 < g_0_0> skutr3, in the terminal type --> alsactl init [02:25] !1984 | skutr3 check here [02:25] skutr3 check here: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too; for older LoCo channel logs, see http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [02:25] g_0_0: what was that command you gave me? [02:26] minimec, sorry so long to reply playing catch up. ask him to turn off his wireless radio if he can listen 4 noise. turn wireless radio back on noise?

[02:27] he could reinstall over the old install without formatting but theres no guarentee his data will all be ok [02:27] but it probably would [02:27] linuxpusher_: He has gone for a while now.

[02:28] guys* [02:28] i need someone good with xorg to help me fix my resolution problem [02:28] skutr3: I just pasted it to you... [02:28] minimec, finally caught up [02:28] skutr3: again, it was alsactl init [02:28] oh lol [02:29] ;) [02:29] thanks [02:29] np [02:30] what are you doing here? [02:30] alex_jet, ubuntu support [02:31] strange question [02:31] I had the same prob long time ago. I think it was caused by a bug making the HDD park unpark a lot. if I remember right turning off the radio stopped it and there is a fix. but I would have to dig thru 200GB to find it. need to organize help files. too busy volunteering to organize it [02:31] bazhang you ever delt with xorg and nvidia for resolutions? [02:31] joeoshawa, which card [02:31] 8400gs [02:32] joeoshawa, you tried the OSS driver yet? [02:32] looking [02:32] the open driver?

[02:34] (10.04) [02:35] joeoshawa: you can install the proprietary then specify the resolution in xorg.conf if the nvidia-settings app isn't giving what you need [02:35] i know thats why i need help to figure out why i only get 16:9 [02:35] Athenon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient [02:36] i posted my xorg.conf here it is again [02:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/561709/ [02:36] think you can help? [02:36] joeoshawa: if you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings set a resolution then click 'save to X config file'. You can now run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the resolution to what you desire [02:37] how do I change the lock screen from the plain boring gray screen?

[02:52] BlueBomber7: yeah, but to which of the boxes with that ip I will connect to? [02:52] USS_OHIO: Frostwire is gnutella.

I followed this steps (http://www.viviendolinux.com/en/installation-impossible/linux-and-the-ipod-touch-4g.html) and now it doesn't recognizes it. [03:53] Deemux, no /dev/sda2 anywhere? [03:54] juniour: ubuntu tweak really isn't a great idea.. you probably don't remember back in the day the mess that "automatix" caused. [03:54] i have tweak.. [03:54] im asking how I use it to solve my issue. [03:54] sriram, I've actually been wondering that myself... this new way is like windows [03:54] bazhang it true i think u tyr u cna find there [03:54] kstar66, you dont [03:54] of installing the theme I downloaded from gnome. [03:54] * KM0201 imagines bazhang's remembers the automatix disasters [03:54] xrandr doesn't work with multi diplays and nvidia so i cannot change the resolution that way [03:54] If I have ubuntu tweak should I stop using it? [03:54] this is out of control.. [03:55] lol [03:55] craig , i see [03:55] mouse: ubuntu tweak does things that really you should be able to do w/o a 3rd party tool.. none of it is horribly complex w/o automatix [03:55] alls I want to know is how to use anything.. including tweak.. to install my new boot up theme. [03:55] bazhang i enabled lucid right?was that the partner package? [03:55] *tweak [03:55] craigbass1976, nop /dev/sda2 is not there [03:55] I'm more worried about my machine's security than having a discussion over the usefulness of tweak. [03:55] chima, you're on maverick so no [03:55] ill do it with out tweak... someone just tell m.e [03:55] JoseeAntonioR, you can use rhythmbox and drag music and vid into your ipod [03:55] o ya [03:55] TWEAK = NO GOOD. nuff said. [03:56] !caps | jsec [03:56] jsec, please see my private message [03:56] hm why can't I still reach my external IP (by IP or DN) when Im in LAN? when beeing outside I can reach it just fine but not in LAN any ideas why? [03:56] how do you install a newly downloaded theme for boot up using premier [03:56] doobien But it doesn't recognizes it. If it did, I wouldn't be here [03:56] mouse: usually when you "upgrade" is when those third-party tools(automatix, tweak, envy, etc..) rear their ugly head. [03:56] whatever happened to automatix? [03:56] kstar66, http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 [03:56] doesn't mount when plugging in you mean? [03:57] mouse, why you should stop using it? [03:57] KM0201, And those updates do more harm than good right? Is it intentional or just bad writing? [03:57] KM0201: automatix got discontinued and regurgitated as ultamatix, which is still being developed and still crap. [03:57] craigbass1976, do u think there is a way i can access my files from the live cd? [03:57] rww: yeah, i was just googling that. [03:57] doobien Yes. I've followed this steps (http://a.joj.me/1G) and when I've finished problems started. Any idea of how to revert them? [03:57] Deemux, hrmmmm But it's busy when you try to mount it.... Yes, I totally think you can get at them from the livecd [03:58] KM0201: and ultamatix is part of Ubuntu Ultimate Edition, which is one of the reasons the name of Ultimate Edition is hilarious. [03:58] mouse, the updates (if they are ubuntu updates) are fine, what usually happens(or at least what would happen w/ envy and automatix) is it would pull in its own updates also, and almost ALWAYS break an upgrade [03:58] Deemux, did you try mounting sda1? [03:58] rww: thats just sad...lol [03:58] JoseeAntonioR, sorry, my 4gs worked from the start without any changes made [03:58] bazhang the java website says I dont have the latest version but terminal does [03:59] KM0201, I disabled the new repository once I got tweak out of fear of the updates. [03:59] My labtop's wireless is disabled... i found that this might be common... can any one help me enable it..? [03:59] mouse: that's probably smart. [03:59] chima, you dont need to worry about the java website, you are installing from repos, not there [03:59] craigbass1976, sda1 gives me mount:wrong fs type, bad option ... [03:59] chima, try checking in package manager now for java packages to install [03:59] KM0201, Yeah I'm real wary of what repositories I add. [04:00] mouse: you'll probably be ok in that instance.. but really, tweak does nothing, that 5min of googling won't give you the answer, w/o googling [04:00] mouse: sorry, w/o tweak [04:01] Deemux, sudo fdisk /dev/sda When you get to Command (m for help): type a lowercase p and hit enter. [04:01] bazhang synaptic package manager? what do I search? [04:01] * pragma_ ops itself. [04:01] * pragma_ deops itself. [04:01] KM0201, I agree. I just like thinking I can change my loginscreen without having to logout since I'm usually multitasking. [04:02] chima, java [04:02] hello, i need a software that can add blur to a part of a video [04:02] whatever you want to do if ubuntu doesn't do it already you can make ubuntu do it if you google search enough [04:02] Deemux, oh, forget it. If you're already there, hit q to quit. [04:03] Then again it's not worth risking the death of my machine over it. I think I'll remove it. [04:03] for instance changing the login theme [04:03] craigbass1976, yes i got something [04:03] mouse: death is probably a little extreme, but i would remove it. [04:03] bazhang there are atlease 50 packages. should I chose all? [04:03] ANYONE! How to you tell what the filesystem type is on a given partition? I forgot and told Deemux to fdisk and see, but that only says Linux, not ext3, 4, etc [04:04] fisk -l [04:04] chima, please re-read the bot link, the part about sun-java6- packages [04:04] Hello, my PC crashed [04:05] any good gui pdf editor/compressor/merging apps? [04:05] , best way check /etc/fstab [04:05] craigbass1976: df -T [04:05] when they took sun java off ubuntu i hated it took me 10 seconds to start figuring out how to change it back [04:06] craigbass1976, sudo fdisk -b 512 -l /dev/sda [04:06] I have a problem, my PC don't recognizes my iPod Touch 4G iOS 4.2 since i have followed this steps (http://a.joj.me/1G)... Any idea on how to revert them? [04:06] so many things require sun java to work [04:06] not really [04:07] Axlin, how do you tell df to check a particular partition? Does that only work on mounted partitons? [04:07] Since we were talking about repositories would there be in harm in the google chrome repositories or can it be trusted? [04:07] Deemux, what's df -T say? [04:07] rww not really what who are you responding too [04:07] mouse: do you trust Google? [04:07] mouse, it's google. Of course it can't be trusted, [04:07] craigbass1976: just list the partition at the end. e.g., df -T /dev/sda1 [04:07] joeoshawa: okay [04:08] joeoshawa: google info is "typically" safe... "Trust but verify" [04:08] is doesnt really tell me what to do after I use the repo bazhang [04:08] Axlin, Ahh ok. I needed to preface it with sudo [04:08] rww, craigbass1976, That's been my thinking too but it never hurts to be sure. [04:08] v0lksman: use pdftk, it's esay command line [04:08] Deemux, sudo df -t /dev/sda1 [04:08] chima, did you search for the sun-java6- packages yet? [04:08] akhyariz, it doesn't seem to want to compress the pdfs I'm throwing at it.. [04:08] They are still interested in making money after all. [04:08] really? sorry i missed that then [04:08] mouse, the more I watch, the more I wonder if they're worse than MS... but that's offtopic. :) [04:09] I didn't ask about google but thanks KM0201 good advice i always do [04:09] rww i was asking who you were saying not really to [04:09] craigbass1976, WORSE than MS? Is such a thing possible? [04:09] i still am wondering [04:09] craigbass1976, i got no file system processed [04:09] joeoshawa: interesting. [04:10] v0lksman: oh, i use pdftk to cut or merge pdf pages [04:10] Deemux, meh? [04:10] Anyone else? [04:10] brb [04:10] bazhang ya and I chose two packages to update [04:10] akhyariz, yeah it did a good job merging but the pdfs I'm feeding it are uncompressed from inkscape...they should be much smaller [04:11] chima, ok, then install them [04:11] craigbass1976, u said u know how to get my files from a live cd? [04:11] hi [04:11] v0lksman: sorry, i have no suggestion for that [04:11] akhyariz, thanks anyways! :) [04:11] bazhang there was an option to download only but I left it unticked. do I still have to manually install? [04:11] hey guys. i'm new so could you tell me about this place? [04:11] anybody know how to access files on your computer from a live cd?

LTS on a brand new 2TB hard drive. [04:22] guys I think my Sun Java is broken [04:23] the install was sucessful but... I can not get past "Loading Operating System..."! [04:23] (after reboot) [04:23] Deemux: what you are trying to mount btw? [04:23] Nanoha: Are there multiple hard drives in the system? [04:23] not right now [04:23] wildbat: sda2 [04:23] my login window wont let me unlock it? any suggestions? [04:24] Anyone here knows how to mount manually an iPod Touch 4G iOS 4.2 on Maverick? [04:24] Nanoha: Did you install Grub? :-) [04:24] Deemux, did it mount the drive anyway is it in the places menu [04:24] I just follwed the installation wizard [04:25] i found a bug where you get that error and it mounts anyway [04:25] Hmm. I'm not sure, then. [04:25] someone reported it [04:25] can someone help me fix my SunJava? [04:25] joeoshawa, it is but it wont mount [04:25] anyway, wouldn't I be getting "Missing Operating System" or something like that without Grub? [04:26] if its in the places menu just click on it [04:26] should open [04:26] sherorox, fix? where was it installed from? [04:26] how do you filter out weirdoes on ubuntu [04:26] Nanoha: It would probably depend on your particular BIOS. [04:26] i get the error unable to mount Filesystem [04:26] Deemux: sudo mkdir /mnt/sda2; sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 [04:26] ray24, pardon? [04:26] If I turn off all of my drives in BIOS, I get missing operatin system [04:26] I see. [04:27] ray24, exit chat lol [04:27] but i want to chat to normal people [04:27] Nanoha, umm yeah [04:27] one would think [04:28] I went on the Ubuntu website and it gave me alot of things to install among them Sun java bazhang [04:28] ray24, this is ubuntu support chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [04:28] I'm thinking I am not going to be buying another Gigabyte motherboard ever again. [04:28] hi, what's the gnome-ruby library for ruby1.9.1? [04:28] bazhang...never i'm stupid...didn't set WLCD to wlan1 [04:28] sherorox, and what part is broken ie what error messages etc [04:28] *nevermind [04:28] I know I have it because when I run java -version it spits it out bazhang [04:29] ok well for example things do not look normal [04:29] Nanoha: In reading the scrollback some more, my first impulse is to blame the change in hardware. [04:29] bazhang the irc chat is a tab not a pop out window [04:29] not this time. LOL [04:29] bazhang .jars do not open up properly [04:29] this was a brand new hard drive, empty. installed with the current hardwear [04:29] Oh, okay. [04:30] bazhang ie .jar open up with files and folders [04:30] sherorox, sounds like an irc2go issue not java [04:30] Nanoha, why i love gigabyte dual bios and well built [04:30] hi, im feeding sqlite huge sql file, and want to see progress on which line it's now goes, would be nice [04:30] no I tried irc before and this is not correct [04:30] Nanoha: Can you get a shell from the install CD? [04:30] sherorox, any actual error messages? [04:31] they might be built well, but I've been banging my head against a brick wall for the past day and a half now [04:31] whats the problem [04:31] Nanoha: Then can you mount the boot partition on the hard drive from that shell? [04:31] does AMD64 ubuntu run on intel64 machine? When I select 64bit in the download section I the AMD64 version is downloaded by default === hblount is now known as sensi4sale [04:31] I can load GRML froma CD and drop to a shell, and see the contents of the hard drive [04:31] Okay. [04:31] nmvictor: yes [04:31] nmvictor, yep [04:31] bazhang. There is no actual error message or evidence of it not working, however, I am not able to open any jars [04:31] wildbat: it just hangs there, is it supposed to take a while? [04:32] bazhang, rww , thanks all [04:32] I do not have the OpenJDK because that can interfere with some programs that I have [04:32] Deemux: shouldn't be to long ~ [04:32] bazhang, I want to stick with the default Sun Java [04:32] bazhang, is their a chance for the 32bit to run on a 64bit machine? [04:32] Nanoha, i hate to say it but ubuntu not loading is a ubuntu problem not a motherboard problem [04:33] unless motherboard is fried [04:33] Deemux: what kind of partition it is ? [04:33] nmvictor: yes, it'll run fine. [04:33] nmvictor, sure. how much ram you have [04:33] i cannot install ubuntu 10.04 it will not see my hdd [04:33] dunno why [04:33] I have a problem using windows (exe) in wine: ERROR MESSAGE: Blocked not marked as executable. i Tried to click the execute tab within permissions in properties menu but linux keeps unticking it how do i resolve this problem? [04:33] but 9.10 does and 10.10 [04:33] corrupt iso bad burn joeoshawa [04:34] wildbat: it is on my laptop, and ubuntu is the only parition [04:34] but..... the first hard drive I had booted just fine in my old system>..? [04:34] nope works on every other computer but a dell 2400 which is a well known issue [04:34] is there any util like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/561743/ [04:34] tried three iso's all verified all burnt [04:34] Deemux: may be you need a fsck ? is the sda1 working? [04:34] joeoshawa, then check the bootoptions or try alternate installer [04:35] used ubuntu 10.10 all good [04:35] bazhang, ream, 2GB. However, I tried that last night with my shipped 32bit ubuntu and it could'nt load past the splash screen so i guessed it was incompatible [04:35] no problem [04:35] just the 10.04 installer [04:35] strange no [04:35] oh well [04:36] wildbat: i am restarting, i will try that when its up [04:36] hey guys is it xchat a good irc client?

[04:40] on any os [04:40] hmm [04:40] joeoshawa, that is the way to do it in xchat [04:41] still stupid [04:41] joeoshawa, so file a bug [04:41] yea it is cli based ~ you can get it from aircrack package [04:41] wildbat is that a packet sniffer? [04:41] um [04:41] juk: I don't see any progress printed in the program, but you could add another pipe that showed progress if needed [04:42] .

[04:43] hilarie: Probably, try it and see. [04:43] LinuxAmt, yes dude.. i thought commands work same here [04:43] hilarie: you need to escape the space with a \ character [04:43] @actionparsnip its a game cheat program, it edits memory, thus it needs admin powers [04:43] juk: if you want to add progress in the future the command pv might work http://linux.die.net/man/1/pv [04:43] when i xrandr command can i increase the given Maximum?

[04:53] Okay [04:53] JoseeAntonioR: normaly devices are mounted auto at boot or at plugin, you can unload and load modules to setup drivers that would mount a device manuly, if you mean a disk drive you can use the mount command [04:53] kandinski: i find it easier, edit a simple file then run 2 commands [04:53] Where do I go to make a suggestion? [04:54] hilarie: about what?

[04:54] quit [04:54] :q [04:54] korokosa: You dropped this: / [04:54] help [04:54] hilarie, use the run menu [04:55] hilarie: you can even make a script to run the commands you need then make a pretty icon to run the script, the gksudo will appear to ask for authentication too [04:55] @Actionparsnip thank you! [04:55] JoseeAntonioR, does it give you an invalid checksum [04:55] I don't want to make a script, to do something so stupidly simple [04:55] wildbat: how do u use fsck? [04:55] joeoshawa: I don't know what a checksum is. [04:55] hilarie, calm down. [04:55] hilarie: you can make it appear as a desktop icon then which you can click [04:55] in the terminal when i xrandr command can i increase the given Maximum resolution? [04:55] Deemux: sudo fsck /dev/sda2 [04:55] no luck [04:55] JoseeAntonioR: well an ipod is just a usb device and it would be handled same as any other usb device, try sudo lshw to see if a driver is attached to it [04:56] i keep getting no such file or directory [04:56] Okay, with alt-f2, how do I run it as admin? [04:56] JoseeAntonioR, doesn't matter i mean the error it gives when you try to mount it [04:56] i tried going to the folder then doing commands [04:56] and then i tried the wole path within the command [04:56] does it say something like invalid checksum [04:56] or similarr [04:56] hillarie if you really want to use the gui with root access then open a terminal type sudo passwd root set a password then log out and login using root ..... this is not the ubuntu way or endorsed by the ubuntu community or myself as a gui as root is foolish [04:56] got it, appending gksudo after finding the right file name [04:56] JoseeAntonioR, is it new [04:57] !noroot | r007 [04:57] r007: We do not support setting a root password. Please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. [04:57] ActionParsnip did I not say that no need to bot me [04:57] @r007 I don't want to run everything as root, some applications, need better access then what ubuntu wants to give, [04:57] is there a way i can give myself temp root privlage so i can change the settings i need? [04:57] hilarie: exactly, you will then run the app with gui [04:57] r007: its easier if you just don't tell users in the first place [04:57] unless its pre 2008 or so you can't use it with ubuntu [04:57] vudude [04:57] joeoshawa: I still don't try to mount it, when I connect it, it doesn't appears as a camera. The problem is that I followed this steps http://a.joj.me/1G and I don't know how to revert them. [04:57] LinuxAmt no ubuntu sets a random root password you need to change it first [04:58] same erorr: http://paste.lisp.org/display/119325 this is why I asked if there was a way to force the upgrade. I did have some nonstandard software installed, but I don-t remember which. [04:58] LinuxAmt : yes. sudo -su [04:58] r007, thats not correct [04:58] r007: its not random at all, the account is simply disabled [04:58] ActionParsnip think about that for a second [04:58] I am loading a torent via 'transmission'... can I stop the program and restart latter, and have the download proceed from where it left off? [04:59] neil_d: yes [04:59] neil_d yes [04:59] ActionParsnip it is not disabled [04:59] r007: Yes, it is. [04:59] r007, lets move on. [04:59] rww: DaGeek247: good! [04:59] so typing sudo -su will temp give me the root rights so i can then go to the properties menu of the application i wish to run and change the settings? [04:59] LinuxAmt yes [05:00] wish i could help i don't own one cause apple only wants you using apple i just helped someone else with one and tried to find a solution for hours with only finding out someone almost has it figured out without touching the existing os [05:00] sweet i'll give it a go [05:00] sorry [05:00] LinuxAmt although not sure by default I always set a root pass [05:00] LinuxAmt sudo su is for cli. use gksudo to run a gui app with root priviliges. [05:00] I came from slackware so not used to sudo to much [05:01] LinuxAmt: I use 'sudo -i' to get a root login in a terminal. [05:01] its not sudo su its sudo -i [05:01] bazhang, theu both work. [05:01] joeoshawa: No problem. Don't worry. [05:01] DaGeek247, and one is supported here [05:02] about upgrading from lucid to maverick.... same erorr: http://paste.lisp.org/display/119325 this is why I asked if there was a way to force the upgrade. I did have some nonstandard software installed, but I don-t remember which. [05:02] can any one help me? I want to install ubuntu to my desktop using pen drive? [05:02] bazhang, then why have the other? [05:02] kandinski, all PPA are disabled when you upgrade [05:02] DaGeek247, one retains proper permissions one does not [05:03] DaGeek247, so sudo - i is what we use in Ubuntu, though really sudo is enough [05:03] ok.

[05:38] glaceman, look into the folder, their is probabli something rm thinks you shouldnt or cannot delete [05:38] red2kic: i want to delete a directory, but it's not empty, that's the error i receive [05:38] ActionParsnip, what do i mean , should i replace " with ' ?

[05:41] thanks guys it worked [05:41] ActionParsnip: not familar with that [05:42] sacarlson: it'll work fine without the * [05:42] ActionParsnip, fail :s [05:42] no rtorrent process [05:42] sacarlson: actually, with the * it won't remove the directory itself (or any dotfiles inside it) [05:42] rww: see all this time I was putting * and never knew [05:42] Deemux: copy the text and visit http://pastie.org paste the text there then click the big paste button. The address will change, copy that and paste the addrss here [05:42] so , lets see r007 tip [05:43] It is a good practice for /tmp/ :) [05:43] where is the terminal server client?

[05:44] Bop I assume its in bin [05:44] its on /usr/bin [05:45] Bop try using sudo with the full path although why do you need to elavate it? [05:45] anyone know what the package for FastCGI for apache2 is? [05:45] r007, im on it , rebooting [05:45] l1nuxman: libapache2-mod-fastcgi [05:46] what is rfkill?

[05:47] installed 10.04 with wubi and decided I wanted to do a full install rather than having it inside windows. The 10.10 install went fine and I was still able to boot my computer thru the grub 2 bootloader except that there are alot of bogus entries on the menu. The problem I am having is that the uninstall program did not eliminate the loopback devicenor the loopback network device so my full install is unable to connect to the inte [05:47] ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1524017 [05:47] ubun_ man rfkill [05:47] ubun_: man rfkill will show you [05:47] ActionParsnip: thanks, was looking to see if there was a something that existed at all; i will end up cobbling one together if there isn't :] === plusfags is now known as plustax [05:49] sacarlson: says there is no manual for it [05:49] Deemux: ok, hopefully that will help r007 with what s/he was doing. r007 all yours dude/tte [05:49] ubun_: you must not have the package installed [05:49] ubun_ if its not installed there will be no man pages [05:49] ubun_: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/rfkill [05:49] unused ethernet card and the lo - loopback device that allowed the wubi install to connect to the internet. How do I get rid of all the crap the wubi left behind andhow do I get my internet connection to recognize my wireless device again instead of the loopback device that shoudn't be ther anymore??? [05:49] ok is that in the synaptic? [05:50] !info rfkill [05:50] rfkill (source: rfkill): tool for enabling and disabling wireless devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-1 (maverick), package size 7 kB, installed size 64 kB [05:50] ubun_: its part of a stock install [05:50] Deemux looks like you will have to drop into single user to run the fsck [05:51] I know about the rfkill, however it does not eliminate the obsolete loopback device installed by wubi [05:51] r007, do do u drop into single user? [05:51] r007, how do u drop into single user? [05:52] bethddo97: you need a loopback device, its how services on the same system talk to each other [05:52] ActionParsnip, thanks ! it worked ! for your reference i sucessfully used su whitecrow -c "screen -d -m rtorrent" [05:52] Bop: yay! [05:52] How do I get rid of all the stuff left behind by the wubi uninstall? [05:52] bethddo97: your wubi install should have no effect on your new grub2 install, there is always a lo device in ifconfig, maybe your having problems with a ethernet driver? [05:52] bethddo97: what do you have left? [05:52] Deemux never done it on ubuntu but it should be the recovery option in grub otherwise if someone can tell you how to give arguments to the kernel ubuntu stylee just add init=/bin/sh to the end [05:52] ActionParsnip: some backup app that was power aware and could be paused/resumed would be great too; all of the stuff i've seen or tried seems to want to start with at least a complete initial copy, even if the diffs are cheap [05:53] I try to upgrade to 2.6.35 from 2.6.32 with apt-get upgrade but it shows it has nothing to upgrad [05:53] l1nuxman: what release are you on? [05:53] Hi. I'm trying to boot with a kernel parameter. Grub seems to respond to me arrowing up and down, but not to e or c which will let me edit the parameters. Any ideas? [05:53] linuxman the kernels are held back try apt-get update linux-generic [05:54] okay, for some reason using caps lock and e worked... sorry. [05:54] When I just had ubuntu 9.instaled there was no lodevice just my ethernet card and my wireless device. Now the wireless device is not found [05:54] linuxman the kernels are held back try apt-get install linux-generic even [05:54] zschallz: try the help command, I would think e should work [05:54] guessing maybe it thinks I have a different keyboard, or something [05:55] bethddo97: the OS wouldnt have worked. You need one. The X server (for example) needs it to communicate with the system [05:56] bethddo97: you may not have seen it before, but you did have one [05:56] i put in " sudo rfkill unblock wifi" is it supposed to do something, show a result? [05:56] r007, didn't work [05:56] l1nuxman: did you apt-get update after the install? [05:56] r007, oh hold on the second one worked [05:56] yes EvilPhoenix something is installing now, hold please [05:57] in the terminal when i xrandr, how do i increase the given Maximum resolution? i mean with the word Maximum [05:57] ubun_: I think there is also rfkill status that can show results [05:57] l1nuxman: could try: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:57] linuxman try pressing a on the grub menu "might let" you modify the kernel arguments then add init=/bin/sh to the end with a space after the last argument [05:57] l1nuxman: do you see the kernel if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image-2 [05:57] ActionParsnip, yes [05:59] Unlike when I did tthe full install on m,y son's, the intaller asked me nothing about my wireless settingsSince I cannot connect to th internet thru my wireless devvice since it is not beeing foound after I try rfkill again do I have to do ifconfig or anytthing else to get the system to find my connection thru the wireless? [05:59] i'm looking for a console-only app (or service) that will help me organize a music collection -- mainly, to fix id3 tags by querying online music lookup services; then rename/organize files using the fixed id3 tags. [05:59] everything i find is either (a) an x app, or (b) bad [05:59] linuxman ignor y last comments thought it was somoene with a diff issue that was saying it didnt work [05:59] ubun_: the command to get status from rfkill is rfkill list should see no at both hard and soft meaning it's enabled [06:00] what do you do if it doesn't show no at both hard and soft? [06:00] 1nuxman does uname -r show the latest kernel (you need to reboot for kernel upgrades) [06:01] l1nuxman: ok then hold shift at boot, can you select the kernel you desire? [06:01] r007: I haven't rebooted, is it time to? It doesn't say the latest one [06:02] l1nuxman you will need to reboot before the new kernel is used [06:02] sacarlson: it say hp wifi wireless lan soft blocked yes hard blocked yes and then it says phy0 wireless lan softblocked no hardblocked yes. [06:02] goetter: I don't know of any so there might be a (w) option write one, ruby has a cool lib for id3 tags and works well for renameing and moving stuf [06:03] in my friend's laptop having ubuntu 9.04 when i start it , memtest86+ starts automatically , before that i see the message Grub loading but no boot menu [06:03] pranay_09: jaunty isnt supported anymore [06:03] ubun_: hard blocked means there is a switch normaly on the keyboard to turn the wifi on and off [06:03] pranay_09: you can hold shift and choose a kernel possibly but I advise you upgrade [06:04] prany_09 the box has had a kernel update but grub has not updated cant remeber if its the old grum on 9.04 but I think it is so you will need to edit grub.conf [06:04] r007, you mean menu.lst [06:05] thats the one :D [06:05] sacarlson: will ubuntu 10.10 support that button... would it be the little antenna looking button with the two curved lines around it? [06:05] i am currently running a 32 bit version of ubuntu, but i want to upgrade to a 64 bit version [06:05] r007, please research before giving advice [06:05] is there any easy way to do this without burning a CD? [06:05] I know what Im doing I work with different distros all the time [06:05] rrenaud, use a live usb? [06:05] rrenaud: you will need to reinstall, you can install via USB if your system supports USB booting [06:05] ubun_: yes the button is hardware not software, you normaly also see an led that indicates if the wifi is active (hard blacked) or not [06:05] bleh :( [06:05] and not used grub legacy for a bit [06:06] grub2 has grub.cfg [06:06] rrenaud: if it doesnt and you have a floppy drive there is a floppy image on pendrivelinux to make usb sticks boot [06:06] rww yes but you shouldnt modify it [06:06] rrenaud: or SD card (same as before) [06:06] hmm [06:06] but it all involves booting off some other hardware? [06:06] r007, ok but how do i edit it , i mean memtest starts and i'm unable to log in .. do you mean the method by ActionParsnip of getting into kernel? [06:06] r007: the point was that before giving advice please be sure it is correct [06:06] i have a laptop hanging around [06:07] rrenaud: yes, so you can wipe the current install and install the new OS [06:07] anyone uses RTGUI over rtorrent ? [06:07] Bop: i use the web gui of transmission personally [06:07] is that php ? [06:08] over apache ? [06:08] sacarlson is " sudo rfkill unblock wifi" the command to "soft" ublock it? [06:08] kak ustanovit shrifti v ubunti, linuxe??? please help [06:08] Bop: it has a web interface, not sure about it using apache though [06:08] cause im having this annoying error with permissions from html frontend [06:08] pranay_09 edit the menu.lst and change the default to the kernel you want to boot [06:08] rasuljon, english here please [06:08] already set it as 777 [06:08] still no good [06:09] ubun_: in some cases that will only fix the soft block not the hardware switch, that has to be moved with a finger [06:09] I just installed apache2 metapackage [06:09] sacarlson: ... lol.... but it also said soft blocked.... [06:09] but my friend can't access my computer [06:09] its not behind a router or firewall [06:10] im using usb mobile broadband [06:10] skilz have you opened port 80 [06:10] skilz, please keep it on one line, its impossible to follow otherwise [06:10] hey people are here!

[06:12] r007: Alright, no more bad information. skilz: You don't need to open a port for apache to listen on it. [06:12] zomg [06:13] Flannel wtf are you on [06:13] r007: Just stop giving out inaccurate and incorrect information. Thanks. [06:13] I knew that already, im using mobile broadband connected via ppp0, could it be my dongle or ISP is blocking port 80? [06:13] so you dont need to allow port 80 to operate a web server ? [06:13] skilz: ISPs have been known to block port 80, yes. Try changing your port, see if it helps. [06:14] r007: No. [06:14] skilz: can you ping the desired IP? [06:14] Flannel why ?

[06:27] ActionParsnip, I don't have that file [06:28] Does anyone here use conkyForecast? I'm trying to get weather info configured, but how are you meant to register for weather.com's XOAP service if you're outside the US? [06:29] you... cant? [06:30] the latest is 2.6.35 right?

[06:50] Is there a way that I can open the home folder using a mouse? [06:50] madmn: I think I would try sshfs file tranfer over ssh [06:50] madmn: the router will distribute dhcp so addresses will allow connections of any sort [06:50] so what do i need then a program in ubuntu [06:51] madmn: what are you trying to achieve? [06:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN can anyone explain to me if they're replacing the original /etc/network/interfaces with the next section or just adding it on? [06:51] where would i set this up on ubuntu or windows 7 [06:51] <_Synergy_> madmn in your case, wireless file sharing is the same as wired. just google for any guide on file sharing to/from windows [06:51] madmn: setup what? The dhcp will automatically be given to all connected hosts [06:52] so i should just be able to go to the windows 7 computer and see this ubuntu box [06:52] in the terminal, when i xrandr, how do i increase the maximum resolution? i mean the word maximum [06:52] madmn: depends on what side you want to be the client (sharee) and the server (shareer) [06:52] madmn: if you can ping it you can 'see' the box [06:52] madmn: do you mean FILE SHARING?

[07:59] livingdaylight, it is like you are doing an install.... you have the option of running ubuntu WITHOUT installing. [07:59] sahitya: What version of Ubuntu are you using? === richard is now known as richardr [08:00] cryptodira, I understand. just use live mode to go into virtual desktop [08:00] I need some opinions...anyone up for it [08:00] livingdaylight, yes, correct... i would take a screenshot of a hard disk boot...with nothing running but htop... save it to desktop... then reboot from the live cd and run htop again... put the 2 screens side by side. [08:00] piercedwater: nope [08:00] ! ask | piercedwater [08:00] piercedwater: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:01] cryptodira, can I install htop in this live cd mode session? [08:01] soreau still cant max the laptop resolution same as before [08:01] livingdaylight: Yes [08:01] GHH: When you make changes to /etc/default/grub, you're to run a special command. It said so in /etc/default/grub. [08:01] soreau, ok, thx [08:01] cryptodira, thx for everything [08:01] livingdaylight: You can do anything in the live session. Just remember the file system is running in memory [08:01] livingdaylight, you should be able to run it .... open a terminal .... cd to where htop lives... and run it. [08:02] I have a Dell PowerEdge 1850 that needs a new riser baord ($90 used) and a new power supply ($50). Would you all invest that much into that server? [08:02] livingdaylight, your welcome... good luck :) [08:02] :D [08:02] piercedwater: not really the right channel for that question [08:02] red2kic, i have did update-grub [08:02] uh ok [08:02] this is for ubuntu support === lousygarua1 is now known as lousygarua [08:02] ok [08:02] oh [08:03] ljsoftnet: What does xrandr report as the maximum now? [08:03] cryptodira, you may be interested to know. The culprit may be a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tangerine/+bug/455238 [08:03] piercedwater: Try ##hardware or #ubuntu-offtopic [08:03] red2kic, i am running 10.10 [08:03] I'm having trouble getting the optical (s/pdif) out port working on my Turtle Beach Montego DDL. Gnome-volume-control doesn't show an optical out option and alsamixer shows the s/pdif as "off" with not option to enable it. Anyone have any suggestions? [08:03] *no [08:03] thanks [08:03] where is sqlite3 installed in ubuntu ? not finding the installation dir [08:03] soreau still the same 2048x2048 [08:03] GHH: What problem are you exactly having? [08:03] ljsoftnet: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file? [08:04] livingdaylight, Thanks for the link! you may be on the mark with that. [08:04] soreau ok [08:04] ljsoftnet: basically I think your hardware may not be capable of doing this, especially not with acceleration [08:04] by mistake a text file is deleted by me having my important documents,how to recover this plz help me [08:04] could someone tell me how to sudo move a .zip file from my desktop into the docky themes folder ? [08:04] soreau ah [08:05] quit [08:05] amit: Restore from backups. [08:05] how to do that [08:05] gunndawg: "sudo mv" [08:05] i haven't backup yet [08:05] amit: Then you're out of luck I'm afraid. [08:05] red2kic, It is just giving some text (Like debug/console mode). After that it is not giving any option for login (like stand by) [08:05] amit: there's no way.. [08:05] i am not able to log into graphics mode in ubuntu 9.04 , the default is text mode, i even changed the telinit 2 to telnint 5 in /etc/event.d/rc-default file but still when i log in i don't get into graphical mode [08:05] should i use scalpel [08:06] can installing scalpel or foremost help me to recover === airtonix is now known as Guest50787 [08:06] red2kic, Actually i am trying to remove Gnome login GUI interface and splash wallpaper === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [08:06] GHH: If it was previously working, then maybe you did something that you shouldn't. See if you can get on virtual console. [08:06] ljsoftnet: This command will at least tell you the maximum texture size for your card: glxinfo -l|grep -i max_texture_size [08:06] red2kic is it the name of the file first then sudo mv and destination folder or what ? [08:06] !tty | GHH [08:06] GHH: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [08:07] gunndawg: "sudo mv /path/Desktop/bears.zip /tmp" [08:07] ljsoftnet: You shouldn't exceed this area by any dimension in the total resolution of outputs connected to the card, or else any undefined behavior may occur [08:08] red2kic, yeah i did the ctrl + alt + F1-F6 but it is giving me just a blank screen (black) [08:08] yup scalpel helps me guys cheers! [08:08] GHH: What did you type in /etc/default/grub? You mistyped or something. Me guess. [08:08] amit: cool I'm going to look into that [08:09] GHH: It is very possible you typo'd somewhere [08:09] soreau heres the paste bin of /var/log... http://pastebin.com/x2JdbPq1 [08:09] red2kic, pm? [08:09] GHH: No. I prefer it here. [08:10] red2kic, ok [08:10] GHH: Maybe you forget to append an quote. [08:11] red2kic, Can you tell me How can i disable boot wallpaper ? [08:11] GHH: I can not. I think you disabled grub. [08:12] ljsoftnet: Search for the word 'virtual' in the log. It seems to ignore the xorg.conf setting. Ask in #intel-gfx maybe [08:13] ?? [08:13] hi [08:13] GHH: What is the output of "cat /proc/cmdline"? [08:14] hey, does anyone else have this thing where just after installing you get this pretty sweet splash screen the first time you boot ubuntu, and then it never EVER works right ever again? [08:14] I had it on two completely separate machines [08:14] soreau ok thanks [08:15] kephu: Is one of the first things you usually do after a fresh install to install proprietary graphics drivers? [08:15] yup [08:15] kephu: Proprietary graphics drivers don' [08:15] don' what [08:15] kephu: The proprietary drivers killed it [08:16] kephu: ... Don't support kernel mode setting, which is requrired for that nice splash. [08:16] dont support that specific bootsplash thing [08:16] indeed [08:16] kms [08:16] Kephu: i know a guide to force the fb driver during bootup [08:18] wow, why is my CPU running 98%!

[08:19] gunndawg: run: top ,to see what's munching your mhz [08:20] looks like its chromium [08:20] figures [08:21] jmad980, why do ya say that ? [08:21] I don't like chromium ;) [08:21] but yeah, I've had that problem previously [08:21] out of basically nowhere [08:21] jmad980, on ur browser you have ? [08:21] Firefox 4 life ;) [08:22] Problems goes away when you're using lynx. [08:22] btw, Firefox 4 is looking very nice [08:22] red2kic++ [08:22] No flash 4 life. :) [08:22] lynx [08:22] red2kic, I am on linux [08:22] oh, speaking of drivers and while I'm at it [08:22] Kephu: use that guide until the embedded video. Works great. I do it toal all the systems i setup [08:22] gunndawg: do you use chromium, or do you use chrome? [08:22] any general clues as to why my audio (both in and out) is stuttering like crap?

[08:25] gunndawg: did you add a ppa and install it or just install the ones in the default repos [08:25] hello [08:25] im from poland [08:25] ActionParsnip, default repos, even firefox is using quite a bit of CPU [08:25] congratulations, damian [08:25] damian: Good morning. Welcome to #ubuntu. If you have any questions, ask away.

[08:26] gunndawg: probably chrome then [08:26] ActionParsnip, what do you mean? [08:27] ... [08:27] ActionParsnip: i have no relation whatsoever with grub2, so if you can slightly guide me on how to add it ... [08:27] hi, i migrated to 10.10 recently ,... i am seeing an instability in network .. i observe eth0 goes down suddenly... it is fixed if i do a reboot of my ubuntu .. is there any way to reset only network .. [ like re enumerate eth0 ] [08:27] i have used a number of methods (now, most of them i cannot remember lol), but it hasnt workes so far [08:28] '[43515.967250] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Down' is the message i see ..even if n/w is proper [08:28] gunndawg: also if you have 64bit OS and installed default flash it goes through a wrapper which can labour on the cpu too [08:28] Jordan_U: I think he didn't realize he messed up his default/grub [08:28] ActionParsnip, I am on 32bit [08:28] avinashhm: same here 10.10 it was irq conflict [08:29] moth_woman, hwo did u confirm irq conflict .. any solution ? [08:29] is reboot the only way ? [08:29] avinashhm: yup just a sec I'll get it [08:29] moth_woman, sure .. np [08:30] I think I might have to shut my laptop down if I am maxing the CPU, this is nuts [08:30] hey everyone === root is now known as Guest38967 [08:30] Amalgama: you add boot options in /etc/default/grub inside the quotes with the default: quiet splash you can then run: sudo update-grub to apply [08:30] is anyone really proficient in backtrack?

[08:32] can someone please help me [08:32] GHH: You broke it. Time to plop in LiveCD. Chroot into your /dev/sda -- Bind the paths. Fix your grub and update-grub. [08:32] i really need help [08:32] Backtrack isn't supported here [08:32] which forum do i go to [08:32] Guest38967: Read what was written to you... [08:33] How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information? [08:33] ActionParsnip: i will be right back after a restart ;) [08:33] Guest38967: and running an irc client as root is massively foolhardy [08:33] :)) [08:33] moth_woman, sorry .. forgive my ignorance. but i dont' find menu.lst in /boot/grub [08:33] ActionParsnip --> Backtrack comes with only root user [08:33] red2kic, I have install kde [08:33] !backtrack [08:33] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes.

Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [08:33] So he doesn't really have a choice [08:33] GHH: That's fine. You still have to fix your grub. [08:34] Unless he adds a new user, but then the new user wont be able to launce certian apps [08:34] Its a lose lose... [08:34] triunity: does it have a facility to make a new user?

I wanna list every file in every directory in nautilus.. any hints? [08:35] avinashhm: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

[08:36] GHH: You need to use LiveCD (the disc you used to install Ubuntu or Kubuntu). [08:36] 中文？ [08:36] should look something like that [08:36] !cn | byunting [08:36] byunting: 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 [08:37] moth_woman, thanks very much i ll try this .. any place where i can get to see what irqpoll does ? [08:37] How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information? [08:37] avinashhm: I havn't the slightest [08:37] why is running xchat as root stupid? [08:38] moth_woman, no probs .. i ll try this .. again, thanks very much buddy. [08:38] neilman011: in case of a sploity \o. [08:38] neilman011: reverse the question: why running it as root in the first place? [08:38] anyone got any idea about my nautilus issue? I wanna show everyfile on a drive.. [08:38] im not sure how to do it any other way [08:38] red2kic,ok. How can i disable or remove all GNOME boot big screen/wallpaper and using kde as default ? [08:38] im really new to ubuntu/backtrack [08:39] GHH: In /etc/default/grub. You can disable it. [08:39] neilman011: shold try ubuntu first? get familiar with that and then take backtrack to a ride [08:39] Neilman011: backtrack isn't supported here [08:39] Could someone open up their OpenOffice Writer and click on the magnifying glass on the top right of the page and tell me what the default choice is for the option on the left? [08:40] does me running as root pose any risk to my compute just chatting like this [08:40] neilman011: no [08:41] They really should create a bt irc channel. Though i wouldn't want to be the person answering those questions... "How do i hack my dvd rom isnt working, but its worked before. It's like it doesn't detect the dvd in the drive [08:41] Neilman011: yes [08:41] how does it pose a risk? [08:41] Neilma [08:42] neilman011: You're running a root privlege. Someone use the exploit to get into your machine. Format your hard drives for lols. [08:42] haha i actually want to see somebody do that [08:42] red2kic,How? is it removing "quite splash" [08:42] not to mention, everyone knows the bt password. so we could take over your system in no time... [08:42] neilman011, see pm [08:42] Jordan_U, thanks very much , i read the link .. thank u. [08:42] anybody help me to get my dvd working / mounted? [08:42] hi there i am new to ubuntu. i've just install it yesterday & it seems that i am having trouble with the sound. there isn't any. can anyone help me pls? [08:42] neilman011: Root allows xchat to write files to places they shouldn't write to. [08:42] avinashhm: You're welcome. [08:42] How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information? [08:43] neilman011: if you have an exploit in your software you are running as root, the atacker can start code with the user your program is running, in this case, root === ole_hasselbalch is now known as ole_oz7t [08:43] GHH: That is one way. The another way is to install different plymouth boot (text). [08:43] but just chatting is it possible for somebody to do that or would i need to click something? [08:43] neilman what happens if i run : "rm -r /*" as a sudo user? [08:43] what [08:43] !danger [08:43] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [08:43] neilman011: its just possible with chatting, e.g. someone is sending you a crafted string [08:44] neilman011: which will exploit your client [08:44] what does that command do [08:44] ohh god [08:44] triunity: That command attempts to delete all files in the filesystem. Please don't repeat it here. [08:44] it starts a nuclear chain reaction [08:44] remove recursive from root [08:44] neilman011: neilman011: it erases your hardrive [08:44] neilman011: so please stop running programs as root if they dont need root. its not supported here and a very stupid idea [08:45] neilman011, You use Backtrack as your primary os? [08:45] Jordan_U: I am fully aware of the power of that command, i was merely remarking on why neilman shouldn't be running as root in irc [08:45] no i have like 5 laptops i just started using backtrack [08:45] I have a complicated request. Is it possible to have my system go into suspend mode after a certain amount of inactivity, but ONLY if its a certain time of day? [08:45] And i will not utter any other destructive commands [08:45] Neilman011: irc exploits gaining root access, people telling you to execute stuff in the clieng which some support. Attackers may capture the process and gain the access of the running account which is normally user but will be root in your case so gives 100% system access including stored passwords and access to local email data if you use a client. I can go on [08:45] neilman011: backtrack is also not supported here [08:46] if i didn't tell you, how would you have know that i'm in root? [08:46] ugg there is no resaon firefox and chromium should be maxing out my CPU usage! [08:46] red2kic, Can you help me customizing ubuntu ? [08:46] neilman011: #backtrack-linux . [08:46] neilman for using bt you really don't know alot about explotation and penitration testing... [08:46] neilman011: ~root@23432.234.234 [08:46] neilman011: lets stop the stupid root-discussion, we told you its a bad idea [08:46] hi, how can I add this ppa to my sources? [08:46] GHH: Did you fix your grub first? [08:46] https://launchpad.net/~matthaeus123/+archive/mrw-gimp-svn/+packages [08:47] no one got a hint on this simple prob in nautilus? a list of files in subdirectories? [08:47] gunndawg: try removing plugins like java and flash or addons to isolate the issue [08:47] How does one go about informing ubuntu that one of there help pages is lacking current information? [08:47] it can't be any worse of a conversation then what you guys are talking about [08:47] how do i get out of root then? [08:47] can anyone help me to solve my sound trouble. there is no drivers install [08:48] neilman run this command "adduser " [08:48] neilman011: create a user account and log into that instead [08:48] change for a user that you would like to have in the system [08:48] red2kic, I have actually mounted , chrooted and then editing manually and at least testing it again and again(with kde) [08:48] then give it root access [08:49] ok i just ran that command [08:49] kandinski: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:matthaeus123/mrw-gimp-svn [08:49] ok, if you did it right, you should now have a new user in the system [08:49] ActionParsnip, I dont have any plugins or add-ons installed [08:49] Rypervenche: ta [08:49] neilman011: read the manual for adduser [08:49] next edit /etc/sudoers [08:49] ok i just made a new user [08:49] neilman011, You hacker or going to be a hacker? [08:49] and give that new user sudo access [08:50] no i just want to learn a little bit more [08:50] GHH: You only need to chroot in and fix your GRUB2 first. Then you don't need to use chroot again. That way, you boot into your real system. Furthurmore, if you don't know what you're doing, don't worry about customization, just grab a Kubuntu disc. It'll have KDE boot splash style. [08:50] !backtrack | neilman011 [08:50] neilman011: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [08:50] i know the basics such as ettercap and a little bit of metasplit [08:50] so, something like "nano /etc/sudoers" [08:50] neilman011: If you use Ubuntu rather than backtrack you will not be logging in as root by default, and you will be able to get support here. [08:50] neilman011: your OS isn't supported here [08:50] i just made a new backtrack user so i assume that is not root by default [08:51] neilman011: I just run backtrack off of an SD card whenever I need it. I don't use it as my main OS. I would recommend running it off of a DVD or USB drive only. [08:51] Jordan_U: since when does backtrack default to root for login? [08:51] with the line " ALL=(ALL) ALL" [08:51] it always does [08:51] Gnea: AFAIK forever. [08:51] neilman011: you will need to ask for help in #backtrack-linux from here on out [08:51] triunity: Use visudo when it c omes to /etc/sudoers. [08:51] Jordan_U: I'll have to double check that... [08:52] TheMusicGuy: how about a cron job to start the service which does that [08:52] red2kic: I really don't like vi or vim... so even though i shouldn't i use gui programs.... and seeing as our friend doesn't know how to add a user, i didn't want to subject him to vi [08:52] neilman011, i think you are in the wrong channel. BT is a compilation of hacking/cracking software into one os. if you really want to learn, research each tools availble, the concept of the attack. the people from the backtrack channel can assist you [08:53] triunity: visudo doesn't actually use vi unless that is the default editor. [08:53] vinok: he already left. [08:53] Jordan_U: I didn't know.... [08:53] l vuawrv [08:53] aav;irbvv [08:53] Gnea, late message :) [08:53] haw are you [08:53] ucenik04: oh really?

I don't know how to do this offhand nor do I know the location of the docs offhand. My suggestions are to check /usr/share/doc/ for plymouth-related packages, look at the source packages for the different plymouth themes in the repositories, search official plymouth documentation and the ubuntu wiki. If you have trouble doing that, let me [12:22] know. [12:22] bc81: we can run the sh file using sh installer.sh [12:22] minimec: Hey, does it support multi touch gestures ? [12:23] sanmugam: that works too [12:23] xangua: i only see "about" "remove from panel" and "lock to panel" when right-clicking on the panel [12:23] sanmugam: really shouldn't use sh, make it executable and execute it [12:23] bc81: but it needs two more lib dependencies. it is not found in the repositories [12:23] hi. I cannot start an executable (eclipse), I am writing the correct path (indeed, tab-completion writes it for me), but the bash says no such file. It's a live cd, and I have no problems with the persisten installation instead [12:24] jriB: yes i did it after then only i use that sh command [12:24] tim167: how about right clic on a CLEAR area [12:24] sanmugam: you shouldn't use sh unless you know the script is meant to be interpreted by dash [12:24] bc81: libstdc++.so.5 libexpat.so.0 these are the packages are needed but it is not found in repositries how can i add it? [12:25] xangua: there is no clear area, if i remove an icon the panel resizes to have all its space filled... [12:25] sanmugam, you're installing wink?

[12:33] :D [12:33] minimec: i dont use a mouse, just the touchpad :) [12:33] jenia: /etc/ should not be owned by tahir nor have 700 permissions [12:33] minimec: unless i'm playing games [12:33] jean-claude : U r fun Jean Claude Van Damme ??

We need to know why your /etc/ permissions are broken [12:33] minimec: i just read on a forum that easystroke can not recognise multi touch :) [12:33] minimec: http://www.thejoojooforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=716 [12:33] BinLaden: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [12:33] jenia: my guess would be that startx cant read something in /etc because the permissions are broken?

[12:35] jrib, any recommended link please? no good info in /usr/share/doc [12:35] bazhang: but the files he needs aren't in the ubuntu packages, only the debian [12:35] I can't talk about links [12:35] GHH: i made 4 suggestions, did you do them all yet? :P [12:35] minimec: Ok, i just read there is no app which can help you do multi touch gesture, on linux :-< , thanks for your help though :) [12:35] test [12:35] kamalesh1: well somehow you are right. You first have to initiate the gesture by touching once with 2 fingers to 'indicate' the right-click. So it's not multitouch out of the box. [12:35] bc81, debian packages dont belong in ubuntu, he can compile from source or look for a PPA [12:35] Guest54266: did you hold down the left shift key at boot, without the shift key you won't see any menu, you might try the startup-manager gui to change the delay time in grub2 to give you a better chance, it will also display if win 7 is in the menu [12:36] jrib, Yeah but i can not find the wiki link for doc [12:36] GHH: and the other suggestions?

[12:36] GHH, not a simple enterprise better to do some reading first [12:37] jrib, bXi, I thought that the problem was with permissions, but couldn't figure out wher and why. Now that I look on permissions on working computer in comparison with the problemmatic computer, I see the difference, thanx. I don't completley understand permissions yet. I will change them to mach the good comp, and see what happens, thanx. [12:37] jrib, there is only readme file in /usr/shar/doc/plymouth [12:37] BinLaden, did you have an ubuntu support question? [12:37] jenia: how did they get changed? You changed them? [12:37] k [12:37] GHH: ... did you look at source packages for existing themes? [12:37] minimec: Yea i saw some blogs. Will try them, thanks for your help again :) [12:37] f [12:38] jrib, you mean synaptic?

[12:39] hi [12:39] jrib, that's what I am trying to figure out. when I copied those files. they were from the extracted archive. I think I figured it out now. when I did cp, I set a parameter to preserve=all, and it probably preserved permissions from the extracted archive. [12:39] When i log off I got AT API REGISTRY error. Can someone help me? [12:39] anyone can help me? how can I compile a C program using GPP? [12:39] what does this do? [12:39] which was the syntax [12:39] any knowledge? [12:39] rgb247: GPP? [12:39] Gryllida: ping ! [12:40] GHH: those blog posts seem to detail the process [12:40] Gryllida: This is kingring [12:40] jrib: probably I have forget the name of the compiler, but I remember for C++ was something like: cpp file.cpp [12:40] Gryllida: Are you there? [12:40] jrib, yeah perhaps... thanks [12:40] which are the syntax to compile a C app ? [12:40] rgb247: g++ [12:40] rgb247: gcc file.c [12:40] thanks you, it works [12:40] rgb247: I think it might be c++ [12:41] no, it's C [12:41] I learn from a book written by K&R, I'm sure it's C [12:41] jrib, I just copied the folder structure over the root folder, because it matched the existing folder structure with preserve=all, but I thought at that time that only new objects will preserve permissions, but the existing folders will not be altered. I was wrong, and all this time I couldn't figure out what is happening. [12:41] any one can help me/ [12:42] jenia: redo it and preserve permissions from the start [12:42] !anyone | sudo_zoel [12:42] sudo_zoel: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

I guess this is a permanent change, but is there a way to restore it? [14:09] tev: RewriteRule is local to its scope. If you have some defined in your server config (apache2.conf or similar) you need RewriteOptions Inherit in your virtualhost(s). [14:09] bazhang: Im not sure, It only failed when I loaded into the CD and rescued a broken system and tryed that way.. It installed ok. but did not have a boot menu..

If i plug the old drive into my PC, make an image(with dd if=/dev/sdc ....), then dd that onto the new drive, is there a way to repartition and resize to expand and fit the drive without losing contents? [17:17] MarkAng, you can do # sudo dd if=the_ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M , where X is the letter signifying your USB stick (Which you can see in GParted) [17:17] well... when i installed ubuntu1010 wireless worked, then same day i cant get wireless.... [17:18] I'll give it a try. So do I just CTRL-C CTRL-V the command into the terminal? [17:18] Including the hashtag or without it? === regis is now known as Guest54925 [17:18] without, the hashtag indicates the begining of a shell line [17:18] MarkAng, without.. you have to change the X to your usb stick [17:18] /exiy [17:19] MarkAng, be careful and make sure you get the right letter or you will lose data === Guest54925 is now known as regisf [17:19] guys anyone knows a theme very simple with beautifull colours and light ?

[17:21] AbhijiT: where i can find it ? [17:21] MarkAng, the 1 is the partition number, you want to write to the stick itself (not a partition on it) [17:21] Right. Okay. [17:22] MarkAng, just leave it running.. you won't get any indication of how long it has left.. but it won't take that long [17:22] grindax, its notification-daemo, there are pyton bindings like pynotify for such things [17:22] Okay.

I did a minimal install and now every time I try and boot, it freezes; however, when I select to boot from the USB which I used to install Ubuntu, it boots just fine into my system. Can somebody please help me? [17:23] hi all, my laptop is pointsec secured, meaning before boot options i get username/password query window. I want to install Ubuntu side by side with my windows. can i do that with 10.04 disk? [17:24] makulkar, yes [17:24] makulkar, you'd just get to choose between windows and ubuntu after the bios password [17:25] i have a laptop with an 80G internal drive, i bought a 120G SSD to replace that drive, and am hoping to duplicate the data as easily as possible. If i plug the old drive into my PC, make an image(with dd if=/dev/sdc ....), then dd that onto the new drive, is there a way to repartition and resize to expand and fit the drive without losing contents? [17:25] stianhj, i heard before that the boot system screws up :) [17:26] Good evening [17:26] ddilinger: Afterwards, use the application gparted to resize and check the partitions [17:26] makulkar, well if it's a BIOS password then it won't matter.. that happens before 'boot' [17:26] Having a minor problem at the moment. How can I burn a DVD so that I can play it in a normal DVD player? Does Brasero do this out of the box or do I need something else? [17:26] Asstyx: works pretty easy! Thank you very much [17:27] stianhj, its not BIOS password its a software called pointsec.. its kinda encrypts disk content or something [17:27] Oh, one more thing. Do I use this same command for the Gparted boot usb? [17:27] makulkar, ah.. i misunderstood then [17:27] stianhj, also is there a 64-bit image [17:27] makulkar, maybe you could try wubi?

During heavy accesses (saturating the 100MB connection), the networking sometimes fails, connection reset by peer on the server, bad header on the accessing client, and no network activity at all until my next reboot. I think I'm overflowing some kernel buffer. How to diagnose? [17:30] DrGrov, don't you need to convert the .avi before burning?

[17:31] stianhj: I just hoped I could easily burn it with Brasero on a DVD so I can play it with a regular DVD player. [17:31] MarkAng, you don't have to do anything other than that dd command.. no gparted, no unetbootin [17:31] stianhj: Is that possible or do I need to convert the .avi file? [17:32] Okay, just wondering. Thanks. [17:32] DrGrov, if you want to burn a DVD video, i think you need to convert, yes [17:32] stianhj: Ok, which app do I need to use to convert it ?

I'm having some problems getting ubuntu to install correctly. I'm trying to get it to run off of an external drive. the install goes fine but GRUB never shows when I boot the PC even though I have it set to boot from an external drive. any ideas?

[18:58] I installed 10.10 to a separate partition and I did not mount all devices during install. Can I copy the lines in fstab to the new install to mount on startup now? [18:58] theLE: I have always had problems booting from external drives. If you find an answer, please let me know what it is [18:58] _jorde: it'a bin file [18:59] _jorde: when i do "sh filename" it just extracts a jdk folder [18:59] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, did you set the executable bit on your .bin file?

[19:30] _jorde: how do i do that? if i knew i'd do that instead of asking here :) [19:30] <_jorde> ok [19:30] no, I just installed, and it worked fine, then I used Additional Drivers to install the nvidia package [19:30] and it worked fine [19:30] <_jorde> use the command I just said [19:30] does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers?

Just that I'm having problems even installing with my new computer. [19:31] might be my card or the power requirements, I think my PSU might not have the maximum required current the card manf says it needs [19:31] <_jorde> so it's not installed in the right place [19:31] describe your problems [19:31] _jorde: where do i put it so that ubuntu can see it?

[20:58] ;o\ [20:59] OttifantSir: well, you have a very well structured question. why don't you try both settings and see in which corner the notification appears? :) [20:59] it's usually the top left corner [21:02] azidhaka: ATM the values for x,y are -1, meaning the notifications show up relative to the position of the applet on the AWN-bar. I thought about setting an arbitrary value to see, but it seemed like a decent next step to ask. I'll try your suggestion and come back and tell what I found out. [21:03] azidhaka: Actually, I asked the wrong question. Which is x, and which is y? Is height or width x? [21:04] OttifantSir: x is alway horizontal [21:04] *always [21:04] well in math x is horzontal [21:04] can anyone recommend a good usenet/nzb client?

I just got this new laptop so I wanted to know whats on each partition and if its safe to delete [21:46] SoftarPaul: please run this: sudo chown -R simon:users /var/www [21:46] SoftarPaul: you must be able to write in the directory now [21:46] SoftarPaul: and show us the output [21:46] This partition has a "diag" flag and takes up 30gigs disk space.

Or even just wipe it completely for a fresh install? [21:54] littlepenguin: originating from the machine running ubuntu? [21:54] apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree didnt work [21:54] yes azidhaka [21:54] littlepenguin: do you have Skype running? [21:55] how to make my apache-server public? [21:55] azidhaka: no nothing..i have checked ff it is not the cause..i have not started any applicatrion [21:55] SoftarPaul: Are you behind NAT or something? [21:55] i havealso removed libssdp but they still occur [21:55] hi all.. i have a question about the Bamboo Pen tablet. Im using ubuntu 10.10.. just installed the dkms package so it would work on my system. problem is, the tablet is taking in input without the pen touching the tablet! like.. ill be above the tablet maybe about an inch or so and its processing input.. can i adjust that? [21:56] KirkMcDonald: What's NAT? [21:56] network adress translation [21:56] no [21:56] littlepenguin: ssdp is usually associated with upnp [21:56] KirkMcDonald: I'm on a router, so I guess so [21:57] also how do you update iced tea plugin [21:57] how to check if upnp is causing this? netstat does not show any open thing [21:57] SoftarPaul: Set up a port forward. [21:57] Hello, how do I change the firmware on my hard drive from 3.AAE to NTFS. Or even just wipe it completely for a fresh install? [21:57] KirkMcDonald: Is that all? [21:58] SoftarPaul: Possibly! [21:58] how can I add a user to an existing group?? [21:58] Yugnoswam: The firmware? [21:58] useradd [21:58] KirkMcDonald: I haven't set any port in apache. Is 80 default-settings or where can I change it? [21:58] Say I want to write a shell script that makes me cd into a directory and then list the files in there directly after. Then the first row in the shell script should contain cd and the second row should contain ls. But what do I write after cd to make it go to the folder i type after the name of the shell script? If the shell scripts name is cdls, and I type cdls /home/bleh, what do I write after cd to make it go to /home/bleh? [21:58] Jordan_U: Yeah, like NTFS [21:58] SoftarPaul: 80 should be the default, yes. [21:58] littlepenguin: do you have some kind of media server or streamer running? [21:59] Yugnoswam: The word you want is "filesystem". [21:59] SuperPaco69: If you mean from the terminal, sudo adduser username groupname [21:59] azidhaka: what happens if my connection dies before the install is complete? [21:59] no azidhaka ..an apache server is running..also postgresql [21:59] Jordan_U: ahh ok, it says firmware on the disk utility here. How can I change it from 3.AAE to NTFS? [21:59] hi, i have an problem with a erased cd-rw. When i try to mount it with "-t iso9660" it says "wrong fs type". How is it possible to mount it so that i can erase/format it again? [21:59] civixier: cd "$@" && ls [22:00] wait maybe avahi daemon [22:00] Yugnoswam: You can use GParted. But if you're going to just do a fresh install then let the installer format the drive. [22:00] Yugnoswam: Screenshot? [22:00] geirha: ah, thanks :) [22:00] LYoung: when downloading, nothing. you need to restart the download. when installing also absolutely nothing :) [22:00] !screenshot | Yugnoswam [22:00] Yugnoswam: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [22:00] civixier: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16106/how-can-i-create-an-alias-for-cd-and-ls [22:00] hey [22:00] import is nicer, imho === miguel is now known as Guest46224 [22:00] import foo.png [22:00] hi. i modified a file by accident. It was 2 MB and now it's something 2.8 KB. Is there any chance in getting this data back ? [22:00] ah the problem would be restarting the download... I'm on a limited data cap at the moment [22:01] Jordan_U: I tried a fresh install (Windows 7) but it just came up that the system has to be on NTFS and it wouldnt let me format it from there. GParted won't let me create a partition either [22:01] do I have a simple way to save all my iptables config so as for having it loaded on the next reboots ? === Guest46224 is now known as migwel [22:01] geirha: ah awesome. I tried to google first, but I didnt get to that page :) [22:01] Jordan_U: check private [22:01] Guest15028: that would be iptables-save and iptables-restore [22:02] what's the command for ip-check? [22:02] avahi demon is it not..still ssdp requests [22:02] shouldn't be the requested data right behind the current file ? [22:02] want to check my ip. what's the command? [22:02] littlepenguin: can you please send me in private query the output of "ps ax" [22:02] aux? [22:02] or ax? [22:03] littlepenguin: ax will do it [22:03] please :) this file is really important for me [22:03] 1 mom azidhaka [22:04] littlepenguin: maybe you should use pastebin, i don't know what the limits for flood are [22:04] azidhaka: I'm running ubuntu on VirtualBox, do you know if setting up file sharing between ubuntu and my host OS needs to be done in VirtualBox, or in ubuntu? [22:04] Why does the irc user have a login shell other than /bin/false? [22:04] Hi, what's the alternative to editing the bash.bashrc to edit the $PATH? [22:05] hi guys. is there any way to get the data behind a file ? [22:05] now I can only load certain apps from my terminal, other applications can't see them (and it seems to be related to the path) [22:05] Hello everyone [22:05] Is anyone familiar with using socat? [22:06] LYoung: i would use a simple Samba sharing [22:06] KirkMcDonald: TCP/UDP? [22:06] SoftarPaul: HTTP uses TCP. [22:06] is 11.04 ready for installation basically? [22:06] Is anyone familiar with using socat? [22:07] hi, "/" is full. how do i free space? [22:07] magicianlord - its in Alpha 2 as of today [22:07] magicianlord - I would not advise installing it unless you want to do testing [22:07] should i dl it and put it on a netbook, zookalicious ? [22:07] magicianlord: Natty discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1. #ubuntu is for already-released versions of Ubuntu. [22:07] oh right [22:07] magicianlord - go with 10.10 [22:07] i am on 10.10. tired of it atm [22:08] Dazzled: you can globally set a path in /etc/profile [22:08] lol [22:08] you could dual boot [22:08] Is there a list of which codenames correspond to which release numbers? I have a netbook and I'm trying to figure out what version it's on and how feasible it is to upgrade. :-) [22:08] maybe i'll put 10.4.1 on again [22:08] jsut for the heck of it [22:08] magicianlord, what tires u? [22:08] I need some help running socat tunnel anyone? [22:08] azidhaka: thanks, I'll take a look [22:08] magicianlord - or try a different desktop environment [22:08] azidhaka: all done, with 1 error... my connection failed at that point [22:08] i have already tried them. maybe i'll try flux linux mint [22:08] Dazzled: here is a full description: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm [22:09] magicianlord - sounds good [22:09] azidhaka: great, I was a bit unsure, but this'll clear it up :) [22:09] Dazzled: :) [22:09] magicianlord - I found Mint to be very similar to Ubuntu though [22:09] hey guys, I have a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10424669 but I'll ask here too. Is it possible to make an ad hoc connection between two wlan cards? In short, I need to do Nintendo DS ===(USB Dongle WEP)===> Ubuntu PC ===(PCI Card WPA)===> Router ===> Internet. [22:09] zookalicious: i know. ive installed it a few times [22:10] magicianlord - lol alright, well have fun either wy [22:10] I found Mint to be very redundant to Ubuntu. [22:10] way* [22:10] zookalicious: got a fast connection today [22:10] maybe i'll do debian net install [22:11] oh wow... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [22:11] hello. How can I get espeak to work if I have OSS installed instead of ALSA? [22:11] LYoung: install the build-essential package [22:11] Crell: lsb_release -a [22:12] magicianlord - or Arch if you're looking for something different [22:12] rww: sudo apt-get install build-essential? [22:12] LYoung: looks like libc did not install [22:12] LYoung: yes [22:12] not finding the linux kernel debug images for makerick [22:12] zookalicious: got arch on the other netbook [22:12] * rww nudges zookalicious and magicianlord over to #ubuntu-offtopic [22:12] where should I look for them [22:12] rww - alright alright [22:12] on a recent dell laptop, is it possible to use touchpad scrollwheel emulation? [22:12] azidhaka... it did say that was broken and it said my connection failed when it tried to download [22:13] Ah, I'm on 10.04. Thanks, VCoolio. [22:13] Now to upgrade to 10.10 without a GUI, since plasma is borked. -) [22:13] What's the 10.10 codename for Apt? [22:13] Crell: follow the Ubuntu server section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades [22:14] Ahso. [22:14] Crell: maverick. I'm guessing here, but if you're planning to change sources.list and dist-upgrade, you should be aware that that isn't a supported upgrade method. [22:14] Hm. [22:14] azidhaka: is there a way I can install just libc? [22:14] Well, the problem is that I did a safe-upgrade earlier, and plasma-netbook now dies on startup. [22:14] So CLI is all I got, because I happened to have a Konsole window open. [22:15] The server approach might work, though... [22:15] Support for PowerPC-based computers will be discontinued in a release following Flash Player 10.1. (this is an out raGE i use linux on my apple g4) sry for the off topic post im just up set) [22:15] LYoung: yes, sudo aptitude install libc-dev [22:16] GeekMan: You say that like they support Flash on any version of Linux. [22:16] LYoung: it might be libc6-dev, i am not sure [22:16] but they dont :( [22:17] rww: Hm. OK, accoridng to do-release-upgrade there are no new releases. [22:17] beside the fact carry on [22:17] Crell: did you follow all of the instructions in that section? [22:17] well libc-dev worked [22:17] and its unpacking libc6-dev [22:17] I'm following the server ones, because I don't have a functional GUI. [22:17] Crell: like, say, step 2? [22:18] If I had a System > Administration menu I would. [22:18] alright, it's working [22:18] Crell: ... step 2 of the Ubuntu Server section. [22:18] LYoung: well done [22:18] Crell: "edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal" [22:18] now, one more issue... how can I make my console bigger? it's locked into 640x480 [22:18] ... Bah. No, because it got lost between the bolder code samples. [22:19] Ah, now it's doing something. Thanks. [22:23] azidhaka: you are officially my hero :) I been trying to figure this out for 2 days [22:23] <16SAA1GDR> hey all, i'm doing a net install based mostly off https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet - however i would like it so that the the installer gets the install image off a the local server, not ubuntu.com [22:23] <16SAA1GDR> how would I go about this [22:23] LYoung: that's compiling 101, the fun has just begun :) [22:24] . [22:24] azidhaka: I'm a windows guy 100%... though I can see the appeal of using linux, it's a little too much thinking for me lol [22:25] Hm. [22:25] LYoung: me too, just remembering here the good ol' times [22:25] make [22:25] ummm... wrong window [22:25] rww: OK, that tries to update but fails. It suggests use of pre-release or unofficial software packages, but I'm fairly sure I'm not doing any of that. [22:26] I don't think I have any pinned packages either. [22:26] ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host , any help loggin into server ? [22:30] cycles [22:30] can anyone tell me if there's an irc client I can use without a gui? [22:31] LYoung: irssi or weechat [22:31] http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi changed my life, it may change yours. :-) LYoung [22:31] got a link rww? [22:31] hey guys i found out why flash 10 wont install [22:31] LYoung: append .org to the program names. don't need one, though, they're both in the repositories. [22:33] anyone know of a fast and easy firewall setup? [22:33] basically a stand in setup? [22:33] !firewall | fisch246 [22:33] fisch246: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [22:33] fisch246: ufw can be set up easily, pretty much block all, open port 80 for web 443 for messaging [22:34] rww: do i download sources or binaries? [22:34] learning iptables is quite usefull though, if you plan to work in the ocmputer industry.. [22:34] hey guys, I have a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10424669 but I'll ask here too. Is it possible to make an ad hoc connection between two wlan cards? In short, I need to do Nintendo DS ===(USB Dongle WEP)===> Ubuntu PC ===(PCI Card WPA)===> Router ===> Internet. [22:34] LYoung: ... you do sudo apt-get install irssi [22:34] for one i have no idea why it wouldnt let me download it from adobes site but when you use this command: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin you cant download it because you (i) need the repository 10.1.102.65-2lucid1 (adobe-flashplugin) [22:34] q0z: That's a bit inaccurate. :-) It's useful if you intend to work with Linux. [22:34] hehe.. [22:35] so i got the repository using software center [22:35] aeon-ltd: i need something for a home network [22:35] KB1JWQ, just depends on how you interpret "work in the computer industry" [22:36] fisch246: oh you mean to act as a router?, then i do not know any [22:37] well ipsense? i think is the name? [22:37] how can I stop windows loosing focus when you middle click on the window titlebar [22:37] Anybody from China? [22:37] that's a BSD OS configured to be a firewall [22:38] so, 10.10 or 10.04.1? [22:38] anyone have an experience with ipcop? [22:38] any* [22:38] I used to run it, years ago. [22:39] magicianlord: 10.04.1 = 10.04 + security upgrades in lucid-security. Assuming you apply updates sanely, they're identical. [22:39] ugh my java for my browsers is all kinds of messed up :*( [22:39] !anyone | fisch246 [22:39] fisch246: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [22:39] I eventually replaced it with an open source image for a Linksys router. [22:39] ah ok [22:39] rww: well aware of it. problem wiht 10.04 is that it's slower than 10.10 and there is a sound mute bug that hasn't been fixed. however, i prefer the look [22:39] fisch246: you've got pfSense, ZeroShell, IPCop, monowall, etc [22:39] magicianlord: sorry, I misread 10.10 as 10.04. [22:40] well i'm looking for someone with experience with ipcop... so that was my question >.< [22:40] !china | james333james [22:40] james333james: 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 [22:40] azidhaka: if you prefer something linux-based, but not free, Mikrotik RouterOS is the easiest of them [22:40] i haven't been able to test pfsense... [22:40] and i've heard ipcop is the next best thing... [22:40] ubottu: thanks [22:40] You're welcome!

[22:48] dark_soul: Also, aptitude has a curses interface (if you run it without arguments), so it's a bit like a cli synaptic.

[23:20] quad core, 3.0, 2gb ram [23:20] !latest | magicianlord [23:20] magicianlord: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [23:21] does the default /etc/shadow file have the root user specified in it at all? [23:21] magicianlord: Never. Or April (Next Ubuntu Release). Someone may make a PPA for it. [23:21] Here's a question where the default answer is apparently wrong: how do I make Firefox my default browser? [23:21] That is, when I click on an HTML file, how do I make it open in FF? Currently it opens in Chromium. [23:21] !default | etfb [23:21] etfb: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. [23:21] etfb: System --> Pref --> Pref. Apps. [23:22] hey all [23:22] jrib: Doesn't work. Any further explanations? [23:23] etfb: are you sure? [23:23] my Empathy Internet messaging app isnt recognizing my name, any qs or comments? [23:23] jrib: Quite. Selected Open With..., chose Firefox and it opened with Firefox. Closed FF, double clicked the file to see if it remembered, and up came Chromium. [23:23] etfb: that's not what the factoid says :/ [23:23] plus i have major ocd so can't get it out of my mind as to why [23:24] Yes it is. The factoid is wrong. I experimented further, and what it SHOULD say is: [23:24] ohh and this empathy is only not recognizing facebook, all else is good [23:25] etfb: no. What you just described is not what the procedure the factoid told you to do. So either you did not describe what you did correctly or you did not do what the factoid says (hint: PROPERTIES) [23:25] btw is empathy the best all in one or are there better ones? [23:25] waseemdream: Try Pidgin. [23:25] Select Open With... | Other application, then tick the box for "Remember this application". [23:25] The factoid is wrong. === aaron is now known as Guest58261 [23:25] etfb: either way works [23:26] cool will do, [23:26] etfb: like I said, you didn't click Properties first [23:26] pidgin [23:26] jrib: You're right. I did misread it. [23:26] Sorry about that. === SabHawk is now known as Dakine [23:27] etfb: no problem, I'm tempted to right PROPERTIES in caps because I've had this discussion a hundred times :P [23:27] s/right/write [23:27] Hi, I'm trying to have conky launch on startup (after say 2 seconds)... there's plenty of stuff on google but I can't get any of it to work :S can anyone help? [23:27] However, that is the less obvious way. The "Remember..." setting is more obvious (once you realise that the MOST obvious three methods all fail without warning, that is -- but that's Gnome's fault, not the factoid's) [23:28] etfb: what were the three obvious ways that didn't work? One is just using open with directly I assume, the others? [23:28] Guest58261: what did you try exactly? [23:28] jrib: 1. Tell Firefox to be the default browser. [23:28] 2. Use Preferred Applications to choose Firefox. [23:28] etfb: in preferred apps? [23:28] hey guys, I have a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10424669 but I'll ask here too. Is it possible to make an ad hoc connection between two wlan cards? In short, I need to do Nintendo DS ===(USB Dongle WEP)===> Ubuntu PC ===(PCI Card WPA)===> Router ===> Internet. [23:28] jrib: #1 is in Firefox itself. [23:28] I tried creating a script and adding it to the start up apps jrib, but the script itself didn't work, and I still couldn't get it to work when I tinkered with it. Just found something though, hold on [23:29] Hmmm... maybe I should just do a quick rundown of the options. How easy is it to edit factoids, and what's the size limit? [23:29] etfb: ah yeah, I agree that is a bit misleading. I think it just changes what x-www-browser is (maybe?). Consider filing a bug complaining about it. I agree it's confusing [23:29] !ubottu | etfb [23:29] etfb: Hi!

I've had it working before but I am unsure of what sound system I should have and so forth and certainly I have no idea where to find all the options. Is anyone able to assist, please?
