[00:04] mythtv-setup then go into capturecard and just click finish [00:04] and it inits fine [00:04] and modprobe pvrusb2 [00:05] is it the pvrusb2 that fixes the problem mylesman [00:05] Cale: yeah *sigh* Linode is great, but they're stingy with the hard drive space. [00:05] both [00:05] i have to modprobe the setup etc [00:05] then setup* [00:06] ok add pvrusb2 to the file /etc/modules mylesman [00:06] how [00:06] ?

[01:26] jesusvaldez: I had the same problem with 10.10 [01:26] v0lksman, yep and maybe the dkms builds too, if they still are their you will probably have a version conflict and everything says boom [01:26] Marotte, been using apt-get for years..I'm not changing now... :) [01:26] ^^ ok [01:27] gulf, how were you able to fixit?

[01:43] I have 1 gigabyte of ram, i'm using ubuntu 10.10. do I still need a swap partition ? [01:43] NixGeek: how do I login to get that pasted? [01:43] l1nuxman, you can use gksu as a shorter version of gksudo [01:43] Mr, yes [01:43] you'd better have one [01:43] like 1.5 GB [01:43] Marotte, what about an 8 GB system? [01:43] * linux_probe hangz bazhang for tab phailure ;) [01:43] er, 8 GB ram I mean [01:43] Marotte why? [01:44] Marotte do you know why? [01:44] if your system needs more than 8GB it would use that partition [01:44] without it, it would just crash... [01:44] I was wondering if there was someone that was willing to assist me with something. I have been all over the internet, and I can't seem to locate a resolution to this issue that I'm having with installing 10.10. I have (2) properly burned .iso discs (CD-ROM) on an AMD Athalon 3400+ (32 bit) and I am constantly getting a return of "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" [01:44] it depends on what you plan to use [01:45] is this the wrong channel to ask about ubuntu netbook? [01:45] So, does anyone have a solution to the root file system error on a wubi install? [01:45] what's a "ubuntu netbook" ? [01:45] Gulfstream: woops, forgot about that. easiest way would be from a live cd, you could do it from a terminal, but copying it to pastebin would be a challenge [01:45] Hiroro1, there is no UNE channel, so this is the one ;) [01:45] Marotte my sys never reach 700 mb in ram [01:45] thanks ZykoticK9 [01:45] you can go without swap it's up to you [01:46] Anyone here familiar with Wubi at all? [01:46] personnaly I prefer to have a 1.5*RAM size swap parition [01:46] Marotte thanks [01:46] http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download [01:46] Geeqie isn't as nice a photo browser as the old gqview. Any suggestions for a replacement? [01:46] Brandon___, experienced users don't use Wubi, so support is a little "thin" [01:46] i wanted to ask , is there any way to clear "most recent documents"? in UNE. [01:47] Mr, so why did you buy a 8GB RAM computer ? :) [01:47] BigMonkey: yes we can.. i used yelp file://usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index.html [01:47] BigMonkey: yes we can.. i used "yelp file://usr/share/doc/abs-guide/html/index.html" [01:47] royale1223: Good! [01:47] Ciphermagi, the install system can't find the optical drive [01:47] Gulfstream: I really gotta go for a few minutes, get that pasted and i'll look at it when I get back [01:47] ZykoticK9 I didn't need to be told that I was inexperienced. [01:48] BigMonkey: :) [01:48] That was kinda rude [01:48] Brandon___, you might have an NTFS error. Sorry, I don't know the debugging, that's a Windows filesystem it sits on [01:48] Brandon___, no harm anyway... [01:48] This would be true if it wasn't for the fact that I've tried this over a multitude of reinstalls of windows over the past as new releases of ubuntu have been released. [01:48] Marotte I didn't I do not know what is the use for a normal user. [01:49] Brandon___, Wubi is for testing if you like ubuntu or not, or if it meets your needs. I'm sorry i didn't mean to be rude, but i'm afraid it's the truth. (no the you being inexperienced, that experienced users don't use Wubi, thus the support is rather lacking) [01:49] in other words, it's a recurring issue [01:49] Brandon___, very [01:49] Finally got GTK-Gnutella set up and working with my firewall, woot! [01:49] Mr, there is no "normal" user ;) [01:50] Brandon___, I set up a laptop for work with wubi, and had a problem with my filesystem. I had to reinstall -- lost what I had, which was no big deal for me. [01:50] Thanks for helping :) [01:51] ZykoticK9 that's what the Live CD is for...I plan on using it along-side windows. The best part about Wubi is the fact that I can boot to it through the default boot menu (which I'm aware is easy) right out of the box, and also allows me to seamlessly browse my existing file system without having to do any pesky formatting [01:51] Marotte I just use my laptop for web browsing . [01:51] overall, it's less hassle [01:51] that's why I'd rather use that as opposed to a full-fledged installation [01:51] My system has a raid0, if this is a clue. [01:51] Marotte that's a normal user :) [01:52] What will fix it to where on boot, it wont ask for a keyring for the internet?? [01:52] Mr, so you maybe not need a swap partition, but it's worth using 1 or 2 GB for swap on a let's say 160GB hardrive [01:52] Brandon___, making Ubuntu rely on Windows is "in my opinion!" a terrible idea. But if Wubi is what you want - go for it. Best of luck man, enjoy Ubuntu. [01:52] Yes but I came in search of a solution to get Wubi to work. [01:52] Brandon___, partitioning is a good thing. If I wanted to run Wubi again I'd give it it's own D: drive [01:53] Brandon___, whats not working, please specify [01:53] Hi, i am having problems logging in with kUbuntu 10.10, when i put in my user/pass at the login screen, i only get this command promt type screen popping up, and then it just makes the screen go blank, and go back to the login screen, i CAN log in with the console login === IceGuest_77 is now known as Jason [01:53] tv === Jason is now known as steff12321 [01:53] Marotte yea I agree, I have only 80 gb [01:54] Mr, how many RAM ? [01:54] Marotte 1 gb [01:54] What will fix it to where on boot, it wont ask for a keyring for the internet?? [01:54] Geeqie isn't as nice a photo browser as the old gqview. Any suggestions for a replacement? [01:54] 1*ram size to 2*ram size is the usual setting.. [01:54] for web browsing you can go with 1*ram size [01:55] Marotte but I notice high cpu usage in sys monitor. [01:55] ZykoticK9, jimcooncat, bazhang. Here's what I do. I install Ubuntu through Wubi like normal. It finishes, I reboot, and the entry for Ubuntu is added in the bootloader. Ubuntu then loads and continues installation from there. However, I get an error after a few seconds and loading that states "no root file system is defined" [01:55] swap has nothing to deal with cpu usage [01:56] Hi, i am having problems logging in with kUbuntu 10.10, when i put in my user/pass at thelogin screen, i only get this command promt type screen popping up, and then it just makes the screen go blank, and go back to the login screen, i CAN log in with the console login [01:56] but as soon as you system "swap" it will go slower for sure [01:56] !who | Marotte [01:56] Marotte: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:56] What will fix it to where on boot, it wont ask for a keyring for the internet?? [01:57] Marotte thanks again [01:57] Brandon___, you change any entries in the Windows boot loader? It sounds like an entry in there is pointing to something moved or nonexistent [01:57] Hokay...computer thinks it's funny. [01:57] when I give print command I see message " job submitted" but it never prints. See http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/561867/ [01:57] jimcooncat, it's an entry that Wubi puts in itself [01:57] I don't do anything with the bootloader [01:58] PsPhaKeR_, you need to use "Unsafe Storage" see http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/ for some slightly outdated info (probably still works?) [01:58] So...is there a workaround for the optical drive not being recognized? My DVD drive is currently a slave, and I can't move it to a dedicated IDE because my motherboard only has one. [01:58] PsPhaKer, use rm -rf ~/.gnome2/keyrings [01:58] Brandon___, yes, it makes an entry in there. [01:58] jimcooncat, that's what I'm saying [01:58] ZykoticK9 : do you know what i can do to fix this booot issue i am having? [01:58] Then it boots to Ubuntu like normal. It's only when it "finishes" the install does it ever pop up that error [01:59] ok now on ubuntu, whats the download link? [01:59] !print [01:59] 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 [01:59] steff12321, i don't use KDE, but on the KDM login screen be sure you don't have xterm selected as your session [02:00] jimcooncat, Using a RAID 0 [02:00] How do I set a key back to doing all its normal stuff? I messed up Alt_L with xmodmap so now it still counts as mod1 but doesn't do anything on its own [02:00] ZykoticK9 : where would it tell me if i am using xterm? === matthewfong_ is now known as matthewfong [02:00] EmuAlert, reverse what you've done ;) [02:00] steff12321, in KDM there should be some way to select your session (Gnome/KDE/xterm/etc) [02:01] I thought of that already but I don't think I've figured out how [02:01] ZykoticK9 : you mean something like restart xserver, remote login, console login?? [02:01] Brandon___, that makes me suspect an NTFS error even more. You may want to run fsck or chkdsk or scandisk or whatever can check errors on the filesystem. RAID0 can introduce errors, though normal Windows usage can too. [02:02] steff12321, are those the option you get? GDM (Gnome) give very different options. Sorry, I have no idea. Best of luck. [02:02] jimcooncat - do you think you can help me with my login problem? [02:02] EmuAlert, so how do you think we can figure it ? [02:02] ZykoticK9 - thanks [02:03] Well I thought there might be some xmodmap command to reset a key to all the things it normally does [02:03] ZykoticK9 - if i were to have to reinstall teh whole OS, would you recommend i switch over to ubuntu? [02:03] steff12321, no, not if you like KDE. [02:03] jimcooncat, that's the basics. I've re-created the raid and even reinstalled win just to see if it'd have any affect [02:03] EmuAlert, maybe, hope someone else would help... [02:03] what are the main tools for remote mounting filesystems? nfs, samba/smb,webdav what else and which is best for what purpose? [02:04] hanasaki, ssh is another - Places / Connect to Server / SSH from dropdown - very easy (if you have an ssh server running on the remote box) [02:04] I'm back! and I have nvidia and twinview working! yay! cept! I have no 3d...I managed to get jockey to install the driver...so not sure where to poke... [02:04] ZykoticK9 - i actually hate linux all together, i am a windows user that was forced to switch over because my computer startted to freak out with operating on windows 7 x64 with only 2.5GB ram [02:04] hanasaki, sshfs also [02:05] Anyone able to offer a workaround for an optical drive not being recognized on boot? [02:05] ZykoticK9: ssh for a file mount? hmm sshfs ... I need to go look... [02:05] does any of u have any idea which is a good client to make videocalls with msn messenger? [02:05] Ciphermagi: plop? [02:05] which channel to join for printing support? [02:05] hanasaki, sshfs is actually something different [02:05] steff12321, haha [02:05] Marotte: does sshfs work with the automounters? with windows clients? [02:05] mAx--, use pidgin [02:05] steff12321, I'm not familiar with KDE -- though it sounds like a graphics driver problem. I have an old laptop that acts the same way when it booted into Gnome. I had to manually put an xorg.conf (or something like that) file in with a VESA driver. [02:05] plop - explain? [02:05] Ciphermagi: http://www.plop.at/ [02:05] hanasaki, I don't knwo [02:05] from what I remember you need GLX to be loaded in X for 3d...right? [02:06] Brandon___, it doesnt allow me to set up my cam [02:06] v0lksman, glx = opengl = 3d [02:06] Brandon___, reinstalling windows and rebuilding the raid must have wiped out the wubi file -- or did you restore it? [02:06] v0lksman, I think it's right [02:06] everytime i change the default value in complements [02:06] [ 236.939] (II) NVIDIA GLX Module 260.19.06 Mon Sep 13 07:01:31 PDT 2010 [02:06] [ 236.939] (II) Loading extension GLX [02:06] jimcooncat, I reinstalled wubi AFTER the fact, yes. [02:06] but no 3d... :( [02:06] jimcooncat - so what do you think i should do because atm, i know almost nothing about linux, except for how to do basic commands on terminal, i mean should i just reinstall OS, i have nothing important onit at all, sorry that i am being so stupid, my area of experteese is windows :S [02:07] aeon: If I install plop linux, am I going to have issues reformatting my HD and changing over to Ubuntu? [02:07] hi [02:07] v0lksman, "glxinfo | grep direct" should say Yes [02:07] mAx-- it should do that if you go into the preferences. Either that or MSN considering you just mentioned MSN and nothing else like AIM etc. [02:07] steff12321, no problem.. [02:07] mAx-- use aMSN [02:07] Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig [02:07] Marotte - do you know how i can fix this problem?? [02:07] Brandon___, amsn is not allowed for videocalls [02:08] steff12321, your issue is that you don't have a working graphic interface ? just console ? [02:08] jimcooncat, what would the next approach be? [02:08] steff12321, try to get help from one of the graphics guys here. There might be other chatrooms, anyone know? [02:08] steff12321, how did you installed ubuntu, what version ? [02:08] Brandon___, like I said, check the filesystem. Or commit to a reinstall. [02:08] is there a simple easy way to use webdav over https to replace nfs? [02:08] Marotte - my problem is taht this stupid machine isnt letting me log in, i just get a command promt type thing and then goes back to log in screen [02:08] jimcooncat - kubuntu 10.10 [02:09] Ciphermagi, is your optocal drive sata or ide? [02:09] steff12321, weired :/ [02:09] can somebody help her PLZ http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/561867/ [02:09] steff12321, yes try to reinstall 10.10 or 10.04 [02:09] It's IDE, and it's a slave to the Hard Disk, since I only have 1 IDE port on my board. [02:09] jimcooncat it's been done already and still no juice [02:10] Marotte - Ok, thanks, anythin specific that i should install to prevent any common problems? [02:10] steff12321, stupid question, are you sure of your password ? [02:10] mAx--, aMSN in its features list specifically states webcam support. I suggest going to http://www.amsn-project.net [02:10] Marotte - i know that i am a windows user, but i am not that stupid ;) [02:10] Brandon___, but its still not available for video calls [02:10] steff12321, an official ubuntu iso... i386 or &md64 depending on your hardawre.. [02:11] i want to download cisco packet tracer or any similar software , where i can get it ? [02:11] mAx-- what do you mean by "available" [02:11] i googled a lot but couldn't find it [02:11] Marotte, he can log in at the console. I'd bet a buck if he reinstalls he reaches the same point. [02:11] Ciphermagi, try using "all_generic_ide" as a boot option [02:11] Marotte - its an official ubuntu ISO, i got the CDs from them by mail, im a distributor, just i dont like linux myself [02:12] jimcooncat, you suspect a X configuration problem ? [02:12] steff12321: would this help How to reset your password in Ubuntu [02:12] shishirdwivedi20, i believe you need a Netacad or Cisco login to download PT [02:12] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [02:12] Marotte, yes, it sounds just like my old laptop [02:12] steff12321, by mail ?! [02:12] mAx--, you can't be picky about what client you use. If it says it uses webcam, and it supports it, and works, then use it. You can't afford to be picky. [02:12] rats__ - how do i do that? [02:12] mAx-- there's no rule saying you can't use certain software on your own PC [02:13] I don't know if my BIOS supports that, but I can look. [02:13] steff12321, when you're logged in a console, run startx and then check the log to see what happended [02:13] mAx-- unless of course you're saying that your cam is completely incompatible with ubuntu. [02:13] ok [02:13] mAx--, if you want MSN video+audio i don't believe any linux clients support it. I could be wrong, i don't even use MSN. [02:13] Marotte - how do i reset the pass? [02:13] passwd [02:13] Brandon___, its not about the cam.. its about the videocall option.. with all clients you are mostly available to do video instead videocalls [02:13] mAx--, amsn certainly works for video only calls [02:13] make sence= [02:13] what to do when printer fail to print paper but says "Job sumitted" [02:14] ZykoticK9 yesterday i register my self on website (cisco.netacad.net )and i searched the website but couldn't find any thing [02:14] Ciphermagi, no... as boot options in the live cd [02:14] ZykoticK9 any other software which can do same thing [02:14] mAx -- so, just send an invite for video, and another invite for voice. you should be able to run both at once. [02:14] shishirdwivedi20, not that i'm aware of [02:14] Hello, may i ask how to clear "most recent document" history in UNE? Thanks :) [02:14] steff12321, I'm not sure.. are you able to log in ? [02:14] How do I change the boot options, then? [02:14] hu,, [02:14] steff12321, in text mode [02:15] mAx-- a video call is simply a cam invite and an audio invite. just do both simultaneously [02:15] ill do it later, i have to go for dinner, but be on for like an hour, and ill tell you how it went [02:15] Brandon___, thing is that mostly stupid ppl have downloaded msn messenger 2009 which only supports videocalls [02:15] not video only [02:15] steff12321, have a good dinner.. [02:15] mAx-- That is where you're slightly confused, buddy. === Hiroro11 is now known as Hiroro [02:16] damn [02:17] i'm using dd to copy one drive to another to create partitions for a drive i replaced due to a raid failure. using mdadm is there any requirement other than having the same partition and adding the new device to the raid once the dd command completes? === marcos is now known as Guest90913 [02:18] mAx-- works fine to me man. Just use aMSN, empathy, or pidgin [02:18] Does anybody able to help about UNE? [02:18] either one should be just fine [02:18] You just need to send 2 invites instead of one for both audio and visual === Guest90913 is now known as yo_soy_markos [02:18] do you guys prefer using synaptic for installing dev stuff like ruby or do you go straight to the website? [02:19] Hiroro, University of New England ? [02:19] romistrub synaptic of course. [02:19] Hiroro, what's UNE [02:19] romistrub: try them both and decide for yourself [02:19] romistrub, i prefer to install the base packages through synaptic, apt etc [02:19] Marotte, Ubuntu Netbook Edition [02:20] Hiroro, you should ask you question directly, if somebody can help he will... [02:20] a smart question of course ;) [02:21] Hello, may i ask how to clear "most recent document" history in UNE? Thanks :) [02:21] Hiroro, in your browser (firefox ?)

[02:46] well i printed out a list of what is installed which i need but i am just wondering if there will be a fix shortly. i see this issue has been going on for a long time. they said there was a fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+bug/659438 but it didnt work. [02:46] or is that purely a function of the card and alsa is just playing with me [02:46] huys [02:46] cmakekde issue [02:47] v0lksman: unless its just "your face isnt close enough to the mic" id be inclined to think thats the overdriving from turning up mic boost [02:47] naw...my face is right in there [02:47] it says a fix was released but i cant determine what or where it is/ [02:48] maco any suggestion on fixing this? [02:48] v0lksman: file a bug [02:48] test [02:48] v0lksman: clearly the driver is not doing its job [02:48] sacarlson: pastebinit doesn't work due to the lack of ability to connect to other places. I could copypaste the log somewhere else, e.g. pm? [02:48] v0lksman: (that is: intercepting the sound) [02:48] !test | arcimboldo_ [02:48] arcimboldo_: Failed! [02:48] v0lksman: ubuntu-bug -s audio [02:49] leftist: Is this system "sensitive?" [02:49] leftist: And why are you concerned with aptdaemon anyway? [02:49] actually yes it is KB1JWQ [02:50] leftist: Okay, so having someone else log in to fix it is likely not high on your to do list. [02:50] i am not kb1jwq i just need to be able to update some security patches [02:50] Has anyone had any issues getting their mic jack port to work ? [02:50] arcimboldo_: just send it to a file like route >route.txt ; ifconfi >ifconfig.txt and send those when your reconected also lets see the openvpn config file [02:50] * leftist laughs [02:50] uhm...am I to believe that it sees two sound cards? 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40) [02:50] 01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) [02:50] i get your drift [02:50] arcimboldo_: or from just the config file I think I can see what i need to know [02:51] leftist: Stupid question, but dpkg purge $packagename didn't work? [02:51] hey im a long time supporter of ubuntu and im just curious why on the ubuntu website under their downloads, that they recomment ubuntu 32 bit over a 64 bit version [02:51] Spyderbyte: basically its 'idiot proofing' [02:51] Spyderbyte: Simple. 32 bit will run on 64 bit systems, the converse isn't true. [02:51] I have tried everything I can think of to get my mic working via the mic/headphone jack on the side of my laptop, with no success, sound recorder just records the audio coming out of my headset [02:51] arcimboldo_: with pastebinit you can also send with nautilus just right click on the file you want to send and select paistebin [02:51] kb1jwq no. [02:52] Spyderbyte, it's a big improvement over the previous "not-recommended" that was there before [02:52] Spyderbyte: if someone has no clue what 64/32bit means.. they get pointed to 32bit. [02:52] i will just reimage those workstations tomorrow [02:52] thanks [02:52] leftist: Even when passed a force-all? [02:52] someone can help me with ssh and tunellingY? [02:52] !tunnle [02:52] !tunnel [02:52] !tunnle [02:52] binarysim: What's your question? [02:52] !tunnel [02:52] Y'know, rather than abusing the bot. [02:52] !ssh [02:52] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [02:53] lol [02:53] the vnc factoud has some url/info on tunneling also. [02:53] I have a Vps server hosted [02:53] binarysim: Who's the host, first off? [02:53] ok that sounds legit i was just making sure that they didnt have any problems with the 64 bit version thanks all for the support [02:53] sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/LWWbS2rK [02:53] just curious is anyone familiar with linking files together, mainly when I create a link say on my desktop to somewhere then when i open the linked directory then it appears to be located on the desktop but it really isnt [02:53] kb1jwq nope. [02:53] a provider KB1JWQ [02:53] KB1JWQ: i thought they were abusing the spell checker myself.. :) [02:53] Spyderbyte: ive nad no issues with 64bit in ages. :) [02:53] i wish kb1jwq [02:53] to where if i edit a file then it wont be in the directory that I'm linking to [02:54] arcimboldo_: ok reading [02:54] BlackWeb: It's what linux would call a symlink [02:54] binarysim: Yeah, I was idly curious which provider. Moving on, what're you trying to do? [02:54] BlackWeb: from a filesystem point of view. a link on the desktop to a directory.. should be the same. [02:54] and I would like to redirect all the trafic from the port 80 on my local machine via the ssh tunnel [02:54] k thanks i moved back to windows for the other people in the household and now that i have my computer back im downloading it again [02:54] BlackWeb: link vs a 'shortcut' :) i guess. [02:54] BlackWeb: If done from a terminal... ln -s /path/to/file/to/edit ~/Desktop/ [02:54] sacarlson: second one is http://pastebin.com/fDnmKQYb [02:54] I have sshd listening on port 22 [02:54] I've manually pastebinned it. [02:55] mainly like with windows then when you create a link on your desktop then it'll take you to the directory say hardDrive2 then you can make changes and it'll affect the orginal directory [02:55] is there a way to do this with linux [02:55] binarysim: Redirect port 80 traffic in what sense? [02:55] binarysim: Because what you're asking isn't what I think you want to do. :-) [02:55] BlackWeb: err.. im not sure how youa re doing it.. but if i link /media/foo to /home/willis/Desktop/Bar then when i enter Bar. i am actually in foo... [02:55] arcimboldo_: that looks like it should work [02:55] hm ok. [02:55] but what I've noticed is that if you add to the linked file on your desktop then that changed or added file will remain on the desktop and not go to where the linked file directry is [02:55] from the local machine to the ssh server [02:56] O [02:56] this is really a serious bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/aptdaemon/+bug/665218 [02:56] I'm using the commands ln -s target dir [02:56] BlackWeb: Ive never seen that happen. the directory is the same here. [02:56] so you can ping 10.8.7.69 when it's up? [02:56] is there a list of useful configuration files or log files / sh scripts that would be good for studying. Im trying to learn everything i can unixwise before moving on to the challenge of a tougher distro [02:56] leftist: Not really, aptdaemon just runs resident. the concern is with the package manager itself. [02:56] how do i make evince document view running two instance opening the same pdf? [02:56] ssh -L 80:localhost:22 sshadmin@iweb.ca [02:56] *how do i make evince document viewer running two instance opening the same pdf? [02:56] ahhh KB1JWQ [02:56] binarysim: In real world terms, what are you trying to do? Secure your web traffic? Emit your browsing traffic from somewhere else? [02:57] yess [02:57] thank you so much now i understand. [02:57] exaclty [02:57] binarysim: Simple. [02:57] aadem: you learn the fundamentals of 'linux' and it basically applies to all distros. You dont gain a lot from going to a tougher disrto. :) [02:57] sorry i'm not verry good to explain myself in english [02:57] and its working but yet say I create a link on the desktop then yes it'll take me to the desired folder on the system say hard drive2 but then if i add to the link directory on my desktop then the newly added file doesnt go to where the link dir is linked to it stays on the desktop [02:57] On your local host edit ~/.ssh/config to contain a line like "host YOURSERVER", next line "DynamicForward 8080" [02:57] binarysim: Then in your browser set the SOCKS5 proxy to be localhost, port 8080. [02:57] BlackWeb: right click on the target, select "Make Link" move that link to where you want. [02:57] sacarlson: trying now, ping does not get a response yet even without the VPN. [02:57] but alrighty I'll keep playing with it and see if i can figure it out [02:58] binarysim: Finally, ssh to your server. Your browser should now work. [02:58] BlackWeb: make sure the hard drive is MOUNTED automatically perhaps at login/boot time. [02:58] arcimboldo_: it shouldn't get a ping when your not connected it's a local ip address set [02:58] BlackWeb: it could be its not geting mounted untill you first access it via the /media/ mountpoint. so your link is pointimng to just a empty dir. [02:58] ok. [02:58] Alrighty, I'll give that a try, Thanks for your feedbacks [02:59] xiamx open as a copy maybe. [02:59] hey all has the flash player plugin bug been fixed with the google chrome web browser and ubuntu [03:00] Spyderbyte, have the bug link on launchpad? [03:00] Spyderbyte, and you mean chromium-browser right? chrome has nothing to do with ubuntu [03:01] im not sure i had ubuntu a few months back to see how 10.10 was doing and the flash player on chrome wouldnt work after update [03:01] what exactly is the bug anyways? [03:01] Spyderbyte, so not an actual bug? just a problem you were having? [03:01] spyderbyte I am using 10.10 and chromium and it works fine, aside from the load it puts on ur CPU at times [03:02] ok ill just reinstall and see ill comeback wiith any issues [03:02] KB1JWQ, I dont find the path of .ssh/config [03:02] sacarlson: Ping doesn't seem to work. [03:02] Spyderbyte, this is chromium-browser we're talking about, not chrome [03:02] Spyderbyte, from the ubuntu repos [03:02] no i was using chrome at the time not chromium [03:02] how to get a list of packages related to say 'template' using apt-get ? [03:03] l1nuxman, apt-cache search package [03:03] arcimboldo_: I would assume maybe the encypted tunnel isn't setup then [03:03] thanks [03:03] linuxman: try sudo apt-get build-dep see what you would need to install it properly [03:04] binarysim: Make it then. And that's ~/.ssh/config [03:04] arcimboldo_: set me see the conf file [03:04] sacarlson: to where? [03:05] arcimboldo_: pastebin the openvpn config file, do you know where it is? [03:05] is it the .ovpn file? [03:06] arcimboldo_: that sounds like one if it's what you run to connect to this service [03:06] yes. There are also some .crt files [03:07] fdsaseemslegit, I get 33MB instead of 2MB [03:07] arcimboldo_: so I don't want the crt files those are the keys, I just want the config [03:07] All I've got is a White Page KB1 [03:07] All I've got is a White Page KB1JWQ [03:07] I'm so lazy... How do I share out a printer down the hall without walking down the hall? It's running, I've installed samba on the box down there, edited smb.conf so that it's pretty much wide open... WHat'd I miss? [03:08] well hi [03:08] alistair@Alistair:~/.ssh$ ls [03:08] config known_hosts [03:08] host SERVERIP [03:08] DynamicForward 8080 [03:08] craigbass1976, install cups ? === windkids is now known as windGone [03:09] but maybe samba is able to share a printer without it. I reallu don't know [03:09] sacarlson: sorry, what's the command to show the full text of the file? [03:09] binarysim: It's the SOCKS host, not the http proxy. :-) [03:09] Same page, three items down. [03:09] Marotte, it's already installed. I didn't know you could even print locally without cups [03:09] arcimboldo_: it should look something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/562320/ [03:09] What's the gui printer config in GNOME called? [03:10] arcimboldo_: to view files I use gedit opened from nautilus if that's what you mean [03:10] my default ubuntu desktop has a mail notification icon in the upper right, i use yahoo which is a bit convoluted for mail notification, but i have it working through pidgin. Is it possible to join these two so the mail notification icon works, instead of only the note in the pidgin window? [03:10] the notification icon lists pidgin in the list, but sending myself a test email only triggered in the pidgin window [03:11] sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/a0BTNPJY [03:11] craigbass1976, in the "system" menu [03:11] sorry http://pastebin.com/WPRR9DNF [03:11] sorry but I have a french version installed, so I can't give you the exact menu entry.. [03:12] xfce is good [03:12] Goateh, yes [03:12] Marotte, I know, I needed the actual name so I could fire it up over ssh. I have two kids sleeping where the printer is, so it's not PURE laziness, just wanting to make as few trips in there as possible [03:12] Marotte, I found the name btw. thanks [03:12] look at my XFCE http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/591/screenshot0203201107112.png [03:13] arcimboldo_: so the service gave you this file? [03:13] yes [03:13] KB1JWQ, Tank you for your help, It doesn't work but I'll look forword on google [03:13] binarysim: Good luck. [03:14] arcimboldo_: ok can we close or kill openvpn and restart on a command line so we can see what it did? [03:14] yeah I'm sure it can be fix ;) [03:14] i'm just doing it wrong [03:14] arcimboldo_: the last 2 or 3 lines should tell if it worked or not [03:14] ;) [03:14] Hey, I'm trying to mount my TI-84 calculator so I can upload some programs to it, when I plug it in dmesg says this: [25642.702610] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 5 [25642.954491] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice I'm not sure where it's sitting so I can mount it, does anyone have any idea? [03:15] Goateh: too much white, tone it down a bit, add some color [03:15] ^^ [03:15] sacarlson: ok, how do I kill it (other than just closing the VPN connection)? [03:15] "taste and colors" as we say in french... [03:15] Hello everyone [03:15] arcimboldo_: what method did you use to open it? [03:16] I'm new to Ubuntu. Trying to install an app that has PERL scripts and several required modules in the form of tar.gz [03:16] Hello matthewjberry [03:16] Anyone willing to help me out? [03:16] How can I synchronize my Ubuntu configuration between my desktop and laptop? [03:16] Hey Marotte [03:17] matthewjberry, aren't you sure the required package are not present in your package manager ? [03:17] sacarlson: I configured it under network connections and then connect/disconnect directly from the network connection icon in the top right corner. [03:17] arcimboldo_: on a command line you should be able to start it with openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/home/client1.conf with that file being your config file path [03:17] sacarlson: I configured it according to http://vpnblog.info/ubuntu-openvpn-strongvpn-tutorial.html [03:17] matthewjberry, what are you trying to install ? [03:18] http://wvnetflow.sourceforge.net/ [03:18] Here's how the readme begins: [03:18] If you don't have a technical familiarity with each of these, then either [03:18] you should be prepared to do some learning and stumbling, or you should [03:18] find someone who can lend a technical hand. [03:18] matthewjberry: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:19] Can someone help me mount my ecryptfs? The instructions for recovering my mount passphrase at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory aren't working with my past several login passwords [03:19] I'm running maverick and have uninstalled 'cups' and other related packages. the Update Manager is now telling me I should install cups as a security update.. is this normal behaviour? [03:19] matthewjberry, I know nothing about webview netflow reporter sorry [03:20] arcimboldo_: ok so I guess all those files are in a directory cd into that dir [03:20] eigma: I think there are an updated version for cups -- Marked for security reason. [03:20] anyone know where tt2 (template toolkit module) installs ? [03:20] Hi all! Is there a way to single step through a script? [03:21] Marotte: Okay, so which are you prepared to do? [03:22] KB1JWQ, ?? [03:22] dsnyders: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/step-through-a-bash-script-273422/ [03:22] Marotte: Er, sorry-- he quit, and you tab completed by mistake. [03:22] red2kic: but if I don't have cups installed, it shouldn't be an issue? [03:22] KB1JWQ, ok [03:23] is there anyway to have my headless server join a wireless network when it turns on? [03:23] eigma: If you have ubuntu-desktop marked as installed, that may be the reason. [03:23] nunya: sure [03:23] arcimboldo_: cd ~/Documents/StrongVpn ; openvpn --config ./opvn045.ovpn something like that from what I see in the link you sent me [03:24] nunya: just any wifi network or is it stationary? [03:24] nunya: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [03:24] histo: it's stationary, i want it to join the same network every time it turns on [03:24] nunya: /etc/network/interfaces to configure the network on a cli system [03:24] nunya: You need to test it first before you automatically it. [03:24] red2kic: hmm, pretty sure I uninstalled that as well when I removed some other stuff I didn't need [03:24] nunya: if its wpa then you need wpa_supplicant [03:24] !wifi [03:24] Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:25] nunya: or yuou can use something like wicd if you don't have X [03:25] histo: thank you [03:25] arcimboldo_: unless there is a log file you can view to see the output of openvpn when you run it in network-manager [03:25] nunya: wicd conflicts with network-manager but it's easier [03:25] sacarlson: network-manager doesn't have much for a log. [03:25] red2kic: cups doesn't show up in 'apt-get upgrade' by the way.. so it's an issue with Update Manager specifically [03:26] eigma: Ah. I don't know. I don't have cups installed. You could try and remove it afterward. The chance is that it might tell you which package depends on it, then you know which package may be the responsible for it. [03:26] eigma: Use CLI instead of Update Manager, I suppose. [03:26] red2kic: ok, thanks [03:27] histo: well I had hoped maybe openvpn created one but I see from the config that is doesn't [03:27] sacarlson: I think you can enable it. [03:27] sacarlson: http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/trunk/openvpn/sample-config-files/server.conf' [03:28] KB1JWQ: yes there are added options in openvpn to create logs [03:28] KB1JWQ: but this is the config the service provided so I don't want to mess with it if I don't have to [03:29] Does anyone else have trouble with trying to exit a terminal where you first ssh -X 'ed into? I type exit, and it hangs. Ctrl+C gets me out, but I wondered if there were something wrong. Happens to me both when ssh-ing into a remote box, and when ssh-ing into a box on my lan [03:29] sacarlson: It's no big deal to append a logging stanza at the end. :-) If it breaks something (which it shouldn't) revert your change. [03:29] i need help with gnomenu :( [03:29] !gnomenu | george_ [03:29] Er. [03:29] !ask [03:29] 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. :-) [03:29] KB1JWQ: it's not running on my system so I don't even know were they have priv to write stuf === gpc is now known as Gulfstream [03:30] I'm just failing all over today. :-) [03:30] I need plans for dinner [03:30] the keys are right next to each other [03:30] umm i want to run gnomenu under a Win 7 theme i got [03:30] but [03:30] it doesnt pop up correctly [03:30] KB1JWQ: that's ok, and the droped out so I will wait till there system comes back online [03:30] it pops out under the dockbar [03:31] Okay. Anyone have any idea why the hell ecryptfs won't unwrap my mount passphrase? I've tried all of the passwords that I've had my account set to since the last time I logged in to X and it's not working. [03:31] This is really irritating. === IdleOne is now known as gpc [03:34] ryan-c|w: dont' you have to use htat key thing [03:35] ryan-c|w: when you frist encrypt the drive it gives you some long key or something I thought. [03:35] histo: it does. I didn't record it. [03:35] ryan-c|w: well you need that not your login passphrase [03:36] Hi, can someone help me with an installation issue with Ubuntu? [03:36] histo: ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase unlocks the mount passphrase with the login password [03:36] anyway [03:36] Derek__, please ask a question [03:37] ryan-c|w: hrm.. [03:37] sacarlson: http://pastebin.com/7t4SY1ck [03:37] ryan-c|w: yeah if it's mounted [03:37] I've been trying to help my friend install Ubuntu on his laptop, but once we got to the "Who are you?" page it won't go any further and just says "Ready when you are..." [03:37] ... I lost all connections. [03:37] I got the damn thing unwrapped. it didn't pick up a password change at some point, and i remebered the temp password i'd used before my current one. [03:38] it had been mounted for 6 months and then my computer froze [03:38] ryan-c|w: isn't it set to mount on boot? [03:38] Forgive me for being a super noob, But ive noticed my internet speed has been terrible and i have hardly any bandwidth... Is there a simple way you can check if my neighbors are using my Wireless? [03:38] it is [03:38] ryan-c|w: so it stopped mounting on boot? [03:38] yes === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [03:38] brando, I suppose this depends on your ISP [03:38] because the wrapping passphrase got desync'd from my account password. [03:39] because FML. [03:39] ryan-c|w: do you not know all your other pass phrases? [03:39] Derek__, are there any caps in the usernick etc [03:39] ryan-c|w: sorry all your old passwords? [03:39] brando, if you activated WEP access there is a chance some neighboor are using your wireless [03:39] Oh, we are so dumb. Thank you bazhang. [03:39] brando, not with wap [03:40] Marotte, you mean wpa presumably [03:40] brando, at least, with WAP there is only a very very few chance [03:40] histo: I tried all my old passwords and then remembered that i'd initially set my current password with a slight case variation which i changed to make it easier to type [03:40] oops sorry yes WPA [03:40] since i have to type my password a good 50 times a day [03:41] Mar. I actually set my wireless to OPEN cause i dont really have any close neighbors and its easier cause im always connecting other things (phone,TV,playsations etc.) [03:41] brando, better to encrypt and be sure [03:41] brando: Sure. Wait until you found out the coyote have been piggybacking your Wifi. [03:41] brando, provided your devices can handle wpa2 [03:41] brando, if you don't have any close neighboor, why do you ask ? [03:41] ryan-c|w: is your whole drive encrypted or just hte private folder? [03:42] Q @ open wireless: Does encryption change your network performance at all? [03:42] lol, Well the niegbors are approx. 300ft in both directions.... [03:42] just the private folder [03:42] Ciphermagi2, no [03:42] i've gotten it mounted again [03:42] I wouldnt think they could pick it up but im not sure.... [03:42] ryan-c|w: so you can decrypt the .ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase then? [03:42] 300 feet is close :) [03:43] ryan-c|w: can't not can [03:43] It would just be nice to see if they were piggybackin.... [03:43] brando, stop WEP [03:43] WEP is easily crackable, but WPA is not [03:44] brando: I was at a customers today and they had 26 unknown people on their wifi [03:44] histo: Yes, i can decrypt .ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase [03:44] ryan-c|w: then you can mount it [03:44] I'm confused [03:44] i have it mounted [03:44] wth [03:44] Histo, wow... thats crazy [03:44] So what is the problem then? [03:44] i'm now just annoyed about the bug that caused my wrapping password not to be changed [03:44] brando: Sharing is charing. :) === gpc is now known as IdleTwo [03:44] brando: yeah I shut the wifi down. It was some stupid tmobile hotspot that got setup open. === IdleTwo is now known as gpc [03:45] ryan-c|w: ohh [03:45] ryan-c|w: lols I thought you were having trouble [03:45] Thanks for everyones help really appreciate it [03:45] hey guys. i'm looking for help connecting to two different networks (two routers, one leading to the internet and one just to connect to other computers) with ubuntu and i'm struggling to get it right. is this too general a question? [03:45] perhaps i should go to #networking or something [03:46] heslam: ##networking actually. [03:46] KB1JWQ: cool, thanks :) [03:46] heslam: And it depends upon what you're trying to do. [03:46] heslam: The answer is going to be "fix your routing table" wherever you ask. [03:46] !ics | heslam [03:46] heslam: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [03:47] KB1JWQ: right, okay. well i'll research routing tables, then! thanks :) [03:47] histo: I don't think tht's what he's asking. :-) [03:47] histo: i'm not actually looking to share my connection [03:47] heslam: KB1JWQ yeah it will accomplish what he wants [03:47] histo: So will a one line routing table update. [03:47] KB1JWQ: he configures once card to allow anyone to use it. Which is theother router. and it will pass all traffic through to the other router [03:48] I used to have Ubuntu, and I can't remember what the GUI I used was...it was a really nice 3D thing that could basically make a cube, and it placed a desktop on each face of the cube. You could zoom out of the cube, and rotate it around, and push your windows onto different desktops without having tearing or lag issues. Anyone got any idea? [03:48] Ciphermagi2: compiz [03:48] histo: But that's not his problem description. He simply wants to be able to hit two distinct networkins (ideally they've got different ip ranges or he's out of luck) while retaining a sane default gateway. [03:48] ohai histo [03:48] to just briefly outline my problem: i'm using synergy to share the mouse + keyboard between a laptop and desktop, but the wireless is flakey so whilst i want both computers to access the internet via wireless, i also want them to connect to eachother over a local router to get the best performance from synergy [03:48] !ccsm | Ciphermagi2 [03:48] Ciphermagi2: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [03:48] KB1JWQ: I just saw part of what he wanted to do then [03:49] heslam: And the local router is wired? [03:49] KB1JWQ: yep [03:49] I'm sitting here making a list of all the programs I need to get ahold of. [03:49] heslam: Assign a separate IP range to the wired interface on both machines. As long as they're both within the same subnet that should be all you need to do. [03:49] Just make sure synergy is told to use that IP. [03:50] !manual | Ciphermagi2 this may help as well [03:50] Ciphermagi2 this may help as well: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [03:50] Ciphermagi2: like what? [03:50] Well, I'm familiar with ordinary tasks, I'm looking for things for my wife's (graphical design) interests and my web dev. [03:50] KB1JWQ: i'm pretty sure i did that, unless i'm ignorant as to exactly how to assign seperate IP ranges... [03:50] i'll look it up [03:51] heslam: ifconfig -a to a pastebin then! [03:51] Just...if anyone has something off the top of their head that they like, you know? [03:51] Also netstat -r while you're at it, heslam [03:51] Ciphermagi2, then browse through the software center and install what you wish [03:51] Preferably from both hosts but we can start with one. [03:51] Ciphermagi2: I like pie, but what are you asking? [03:51] any trick to signing up for ubuntu one captcha solution cant make them out [03:51] histo, thanks for the link regarding stepping through bash scripts. It helped. Turns out I forgot the "extension" on the files I was renaming. [03:51] Ciphermagi2: graphical design... inkscape, gimp, xara xtreme, scribus [03:51] dsnyders: np [03:52] skooz20111, #ubuntuone should help [03:52] Ciphermagi2, inkscape [03:52] Hello. Any idea why SSH responds when started from a "local" connection (ie: server is 192.168.1.x and client is 192.168.1.y), but not over an OpenVPN connection? I can ping the server's VPN IP, but can't SSH [03:52] KB1JWQ: i don't actually have the network set up how i'd like it - whenever i connect them both to the wired router, they are no longer able to access the internet over the wireless router. so sending you the ifconfig + netstat -r data becomes a little bit difficult :P [03:52] thank you bazhang [03:52] Well, is there a free equivalent to, say...dreamweaver? I'm already looking at Komposer and Blender, too. [03:52] ShaneN: ssh does not = vpn [03:52] heslam: Ah, you're running network-manager. [03:52] ubuntu wont detect my damn headset microphone and only the internal one will work how do i fix? [03:52] Ciphermagi2, aptana studio is the closest [03:52] izinucs: Of course not [03:52] KB1JWQ: [03:53] Ciphermagi2, dreamweaver I guess not [03:53] izinucs: The problem I am having is SSH works over a local network, but not over a VPN [03:53] cobra2_: Hello. [03:53] ubuntu wont detect my damn headset microphone and only the internal one will work how do i fix? [03:53] Just a "stock" SSH config [03:53] KB1JWQ: yeah, i'm using a stock ubuntu install (and linux mint lxde for the laptop, but yeah). so network-manager screws with this sort of thing? [03:53] Ciphermagi2, inkscape is for scalable vector graphic edition [03:53] heslam: Network-manager screws with bloody EVERYTHING. [03:53] ShaneN: why would you use ssh on top of vpn? they are both encrypted [03:54] izinucs: To access the machine :) [03:54] heslam: I'd check out #nm [03:54] does anyone know what packages i should install to build cinelerra? [03:54] izinucs: I'm 9 hours away from the system, so I have to SSH in [03:54] while 1: print 'can someone help me with this plz?' [03:54] KB1JWQ: gotcha :P thanks :) [03:54] i'm gonna head over there now. if i get it working and remember, i'll come back here and let you know ;) [03:55] As of right now, I have to VNC into another machine in the same room, and then SSH into the server from that machine [03:55] ShaneN: I don't get it .. if the machine is running a ssh server on a different port from vpn then you shouldn't have an issue.. if you're trying to use ssh in combination with vpn .. well.. you might be googling forever trying to find that answer. [03:55] http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#ubuntu hdon [03:55] am i muted? [03:55] What is the "network trash folder" in Ubuntu for? [03:55] bazhang, thanks [03:55] cobra2_, no [03:55] cobra2_: what? [03:55] help me! plz [03:55] cobra2_, in terminal type - alsamixer - make sure the mic channel isn't muted if it is press m when the channel is selected to unmute it, nb it may not be labeled mic it may be labeled as an input [03:55] don't beg [03:55] !helpme | cobra2_ [03:55] cobra2_: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [03:56] cobra2_, with what [03:56] my headset mic is not detected [03:56] bazhang, i am not interested in binaries, i said i was building from source :\ [03:56] hdon, then check their website, presumably [03:56] izinucs: It is indeed running on a different port. Hence the issue. I'm not able to SSH into it over the VPN IP address. The system is essentially a "stock" install with no crazy firewall configs or any changes in the SSH config === windGone is now known as windkids [03:56] ShaneN: is it on your lan or outside your lan? [03:57] izinucs: Outside [03:57] izinucs: My machine, and the ubuntu machine are on the same VPN. I can ping the VPN address of the ubuntu machine. But I cannot SSH in over the VPN address [03:57] ShaneN: do you know if the router on the other end is forwarding the appropriate ssh ports to that machine. [03:57] hey folks. i've added a network printer. host is ubuntu, guest is ubuntu. it added fine, but it asks for authentication when i try to print. I typed the host's username and password, didn't work. I typed the guests username/password, didn't work either. what username and password do I enter? [03:57] izinucs: Since I am going over the VPN, the router configuration shouldn't matter, correct? [03:58] hi, my bluetooth doesn't work. Bluetooth applet shows a box to enable bluetooth but it never enables it. What could i do? [03:58] ShaneN: ah..so you're connected via vpn and you're trying to get a cli prompt? [03:58] izinucs: Bingo [03:58] ShaneN: well... why didn't you say so :) [03:58] izinucs: I think I did about 3 times :) [03:58] ShaneN: let me look for something.. [03:59] g_0_0: i opened up the alsamixer but i really don't know what i'm looking at.. if i post a screenshot for ya will that help? === Shinnok is now known as Guest68050 [03:59] ? [03:59] cobra2_, I know what it looks like, you navigate the channel with the left and right arrows, up and down arrows to change volume and m to mute/unmute a channel [04:00] g_0_0: i know but i can't tell if my channel is muted or not [04:00] ShaneN: missed that previously.. sorry.. [04:00] g_0_0: but for the 'mic jack" there isn't one of those bar thingyies [04:00] cobra2_, if a channel is muted you will see an M at the bottom [04:00] izinucs: No problem. Lots of chatter going on :) [04:01] Anybody have a linux utility for rooting a Sprint Epic 4G? Everything seems to be for Windoes boxes. [04:01] izinucs: Appreciate your attention, at the least [04:01] cobra2_, if there is an m select the channel and press m to unmute the channel [04:01] g_0_0: i will just post a screenshot [04:01] cobra2_, ok post a screenshot [04:01] !imagebin | cobra2_ [04:01] cobra2_: 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. [04:02] I was confused why I had all these folders with nothing in them in /media, so i did a few 'sudo rmdir's, I realize now that they where for my usb sticks, now when I try to insert them, nothing happens, and I get somekind of error message like "no mount point", anyone know a quick fix? === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [04:03] jags: Try creating /media folder [04:03] jags: the folders should be created automatically..unless you have defined mount points in fstab === rene is now known as Guest88786 [04:03] jags: And that's why we have permissions, to prevent users from doing what they shouldn't be doing in first place. Of course, we gave them authority too -- and that's just not helping the situation. :( [04:04] g_0_0: try not 2 be razzed out by my ultra theme but anyway heres the screenshot.. http://i.imgur.com/FLrM4.png [04:04] ShaneN: are you using the corrent (VPN) ip address? [04:04] hello you amazing people [04:04] natex: Yessir/mam [04:04] i need help with a tv tuner :( [04:04] k [04:04] red2kic, I guess i can see what disk utility labels them as and create a folder in /media as sudo? I'll try that quick [04:05] jags: If you removed /media -- Try "sudo mkdir /media" [04:05] ShaneN: I have not been able to find any info on doing that..when you vpn in, logically thinking you are part of the network the remote machine is attached to. so ssh'ing becomes problemmatic unless "localhost" ssh'ing will work. that would be ssh'ing into the remote machine on it's local ip address not its wan address.. [04:05] jags: Maybe "sudo chown -R root:root /media" too [04:05] red2kic, I still have a /media, but I removed some folders within /media, now I can't seem to mount whatever those folders where linked to [04:05] cobra2_, do you have a line channel which is muted if so umute it [04:05] I get this error: segfault at a151ba20 ip 0498b5f8 sp bf8d4990 error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so[495c000+157000] Does somebody know what is this? [04:05] g_0_0: i don't know what a line channel is [04:06] g_0_0: why is linux so fcking hard? [04:06] jags: Do you know what you removed? Create the directory again. [04:06] jags: check in your /etc/fstab ..for any mount points defined under /media [04:06] my computer crashes every week or so, its annoying [04:06] red2kic, I'm sure its still in history, I'll just have to grep all the rmdir commands [04:07] jags: "history | grep -i rmdir" [04:07] izinucs: That is exactly what I thought. Which is why this is confusing me :). ifconfig shows that it is connected to the VPN fine. My machine can ping it. But I just can't SSH into it. I even tried to change the ListenAddress in hopes it would help. No go, sadly [04:07] cobra2_, I can't see all the channels in alsa mixer from your screenshot there should be other channels a channel simply named mic or line for example [04:08] ShaneN: is the remote machine on a commercial network with commercial switches? [04:08] izinucs: Not sure what you mean by a "commercial network". Sorry :/ [04:09] g_0_0: there is not, there is a channel called mic jack [04:09] though [04:09] ShaneN: business.. using business class switches vs. in expensive linksys/dlink/etc routers? [04:09] cobra2_, what other channels are there? [04:09] ShaneN: what ip are you ssh to once your vpn is connected? [04:09] izinucs: Gotcha. Basic router. Nothing commercial [04:09] natex: 10.10.0.33 [04:10] g_0_0: if i press tab more channels appear [04:10] cobra2_, alternatively unmute all the channels in turn until you find the appropriate mic channel, even if it isn't labeled mic [04:10] Another machine on the same LAN cannot SSH into 10.10.0.33, but the ubuntu machine itself can [04:10] cobra2_, use the left and right arrows to navigate [04:10] ShaneN: right because it is not part of the vpn [04:10] ie: If I "ssh 10.10.0.33" from the ubuntu machine, it works fine. Ubuntu doesn't come with a firewall started right away right? [04:11] ShaneN: no [04:11] ShaneN: Right. ufw is disabled by default. [04:11] rww: No? :o [04:11] Is there software that I can plug in a USB mic and use the software as a virtual amplifierr, and output it to speakers? [04:11] ShaneN: right, since there are no services to firewall off [04:11] ShaneN: although port are default closed [04:11] red2kic: no, Ubuntu doesn't come with a firewall started right away. [04:12] whould you please tell me, how I can play easyworship with dual display [04:12] i cant get to work ebox [04:13] I just fresh installed 9.10 on my server and now (I have a monitor connected) I can't connect to my wireless network... [04:13] im messing with it 2 days [04:13] natex: shouldn't ShaneN on the machine that's vpn'd into the other be able to ssh into the same machine using a local address? [04:13] nunya: well, whats your wireless device, and second, why are you using 9.10? [04:14] izinucs: he needs to use the ip address from the vpn interface (tun0) [04:14] KM0201: I need 9.10 for my computer because that's the only verion supported by the maker of the computer (I need it for video acceleration) the wireless device is intneral. I don't even know how to check which drivers are installed and working [04:15] natex: that I don't know much about.. maybe you can fill him in. [04:15] izinucs: which he is 10.10.0.33 [04:15] natex: SSH doesn't care which interface is used to connect to it, correct? [04:15] ShaneN: right [04:15] ShaneN: unless you've tweaked it to hell which I don't believe you have [04:15] Nertil, do you mean wbox as opposed to ebox? [04:16] to #ubuntu good day all :) [04:16] natex: Literally installed SSH today. Haven't touched it other after having these issues to try ListenAddress [04:16] ebox is something like webmin [04:16] for ubuntu [04:16] ShaneN: you never know with ubuntu though :/ [04:17] natex: Thanks for the vote of confidence :). Tried centos first... had issues with the hardware though [04:17] ShaneN: netstat -ltunp will tell you on which ports ssh is listening! [04:17] ShaneN: honestly it just works with slackware [04:17] * ryan-c|w likes to tweak ssh to hell [04:17] ShaneN: sudo netstat -ltunp [04:17] can i play steam games on linx o_o? [04:17] like gmod [04:17] * cobra2_ places ban on UbuntuNoob!*@* [04:18] :( [04:18] UbuntuNoob: Yes, gmod specifically will run. [04:18] yayy :D [04:18] bonjoyee: Well, good news (?) is that I do see 10.10.0.33:22 as a local address that is in state "LISTEN" for program name "sshd" [04:18] natex: lspci should tell you what wireless device you have [04:18] my wireless adapter only works with windows [04:18] ShaneN: yeah something I'm missing here [04:18] UbuntuNoob: http://www.cedega.com/ will run steam, and *some* steam games. It seems to run anything with the source engine fine. [04:18] i have lots of questions, how do i use linux exactly.. i can open firefox, this irc, i can close firefox, i dont really know much else.. [04:19] cobra2_, did you get the mic to work? [04:19] ryan-c|w: What do you tweak with SSH? I've always just did /etc/init.d/ssh start and called it a day :) [04:19] ryan-c|w: thanks :D [04:19] how can i install all the small and big packages offline on ubuntu? I've got a ubuntu cd burned but i've no access to Internet on Ubuntu machine? [04:19] UbuntuNoob: google linux tutorials >.> [04:19] g_0_0: let me check [04:19] cobra2: my teacher gave me a book x_X, but i wanted to know the vurry basics before i start readin it [04:19] ShaneN: try doing ssh -v [04:19] natex: did you get that? [04:19] s/just did/just done. Grammer fail tonight [04:20] UbuntuNoob: the most basic command you can learn is sudo rm -rf /* [04:20] KM0201: wrong guy ;) [04:20] UbuntuNoob: Disregard that.

Going to try now. Thank you [04:21] o_o [04:22] ShaneN: pastebin the log if you want [04:22] UbuntuNoob: i thought it was "del" on windows [04:22] it is, but rm also works [04:22] and some other command too [04:22] does anyone know if the ubuntu install CD has an option to go into Network install mode and wait for listening machines attempting to boot from the network [04:22] del is just for files, rm is for drives i belive. i only know about as much as ShaneN: the main change is to turn off password authentication in favor of pubkey and keyboardinteractive auth. [04:23] UbuntuNoob: try typing "man rm" in terminal, itll bring up the manual page so you can read all about it [04:23] UbuntuNoob: the -rf flag lets it remove a directory recursively [04:24] my personal server essentially has fail2ban implemented purely in iptables. [04:24] is there a shortcut for terminal? [04:24] UbuntuNoob: Try CTRL + ALT + T. [04:24] top left, applications -> terminal [04:24] or what red2kic [04:24] said [04:24] it works just like cmd? [04:24] UbuntuNoob: No. [04:24] UbuntuNoob: Not exactly. [04:24] UbuntuNoob: man man [04:24] Go from there.

[04:26] ubuntu.com and canonicl.com are down right now. [04:27] red2kic, please keep the non-helpful commentary to #ubuntu-offtopic [04:27] ubuntu.com ofc [04:27] Up here. In Chinese of all things.

[04:28] ubuntu.com if offline [04:28] red2kic: The host is up, the site is down. [04:28] wgrant: Not cached here. Works well. [04:29] natex: I can SSH into it from a machine on the same LAN (VNC'd into a Windows box using putty to SSH into the ubuntu box) [04:29] red2kic, yeah like the content on www.ubuntu.com [04:29] jameseleven: You want the ISO?

Domains do resolve to IPS eventually, but it takes like 30 seconds for no reason. Another machine on the same network has no issues. [04:33] Anyone have any idea where this kind of issue could stem from? and/or how to fix? [04:34] nul: try another DNS provider... [04:34] nul: like opendns or google! [04:34] bonjoyee: didn't work..

[04:54] heslam: the same thing as if you did cp foo.dat /etc/bar/foo.dat [04:54] <_jesse_> heslam: it'll copy it into the directory [04:54] bazhang: Shift doesn't do anything o-o [04:54] rww & _jesse_: thank god. i accidentally pressed enter on a command too early and was worried i had flattened some important system files :) [04:54] RedXIII, then reinstall grub if sudo update-grub does not pan out? did you read the wiki linked to you yet? [04:55] I just saw it [04:55] <_jesse_> heslam: ;) [04:55] so its open now [04:55] heslam: not much, if the file exists and you copy over it, it could cause issues. Writing to folders outside $HOME will require sudo [04:55] But I think I set something wrong in the installer.

He couldn't use sudo anymore because he changed a file, forgetting to re-add himself to sudoers. [05:04] ah, trouble seems to have been that id_pub wasn't int the local user's .ssh folder [05:04] You guys told him a re-install was the only way to fix that -- But, if you had a root password set.. Then, that'd be solved easy. [05:06] i know how to list PCI devices, but is there any way of figuring out which drivers are driving which devices?

[05:43] p009: is this an NTFS partition you are mounting? [05:43] I can't delete a folder. It keeps giving an "input/output error" for the contents of the folder, even though nothing is displayed in there. [05:43] How do I get rid of it? [05:43] miyamoto: is the OS fully updated?

[05:45] ActionParsnip: yes. actually i used to use realtek rtl8185 chipset. and now i changed to rtl8187. does this arise driver conflict? [05:45] Snakkah: ok is the partition healthy? If it is NTFS was it gracefully unmounted when it was last removed from a system [05:45] hmm i have no /dev/video0 [05:45] ActionParsnip: [05:45] how is GPARTED? [05:45] ActionParsnip, sudo parted -l http://pastie.org/1527357 [05:45] miyamoto: you may want to blacklist the driver you don't want to use [05:45] venus: its fine [05:45] ActionParsnip: also. as soon as i connect, i can browse for a moment. just about a minute or so. after that i cant. [05:46] ActionParsnip, the partition is fine. I'm thinking when transferring my files it may have gotten moved around though. [05:46] what do i do to install ubuntu server on ubuntu 10.10 without iso [05:46] p009: ok, which partition are you mounting? [05:46] I just don't want to transfer them all again. I'd like to just delete this one folder because that's the problem folder. [05:46] ActionParsnip: oh... before it was wlan0 now its wlan1. so if i blacklist wlan0 it may work. [05:46] ? [05:46] ActionParsnip: thanks [05:46] ActionParsnip, the second partition [05:46] miyamoto: no, blacklist the realtek driver you don't want [05:47] p009: ok I suggest you fsck it to make sure it's healthy [05:47] pattman there might be a package ubuntu-server i think [05:48] ActionParsnip, what is the command for fsck? [05:48] can i install ubuntu sever without the iso [05:48] p009:http://linux.die.net/man/8/fsck [05:49] i recently lost my tty1-6 terminals and my powersaving governor doesnt work anymore (sysfsutils), is it possible that this has something to do with adding a fix for my mouse to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/file ?? cant find good solutions in google either except configuring a framebuffer [05:49] pattman, do you have a net connection? [05:49] hate to be so annoyingly persistant, but does anyone know the terminal way of setting start up applications on login? something that's desktop agnostic [05:49] pattman: if you boot with the boot option: text the x server will not run and you will have the server OS in essence [05:49] actually where can i get a version of the kernel image on my system with debug symbols [05:49] !lamp | pattman have a read please [05:49] pattman have a read please: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[05:52] miyamoto: whichever you do not want to load, blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [05:52] miyamoto: the syntax is: blacklist modulename [05:53] ping [05:53] anybody ?? [05:53] pong [05:53] dhruvasagar: you need to kill the parent process [05:53] pattman: what part of ubuntu server do you want? [05:53] dhruvasagar: look for it's PPID [05:53] ActionParsnip: parent id is 1...that's the init process [05:53] ActionParsnip: ok. thanks, i will try. [05:53] dhruvasagar: yikes [05:54] dhruvasagar: sounds like a reboot is needed then, not sure any other way. Maybe others can contribute [05:54] dhruvasagar: if it isn't using resources, you can likely ignore it until next reboot [05:54] ActionParsnip: ok [05:54] thorbj0rn: hmm [05:54] thorbj0rn: but I needed to restart that process... [05:55] dhruvasagar: killall didn't help you? [05:55] ActionParsnip: sorry. it didnt work. :( [05:55] miyamoto: you'll need to reboot to tes [05:55] *test [05:55] ActionParsnip: yes i rebooted [05:56] im just trying to install ubuntu server [05:56] ActionParsnip: i can open the google homepage as soon as i connect but cant browse anything after that. [05:56] thorbj0rn: no, neither did sudo kill -9 [05:56] pattman: the only difference between ubuntu server and ubuntu with LAMP is that the server has no gui [05:57] pattman: install LAMP, login with term, ???, profit. [05:57] hello [05:57] why [05:58] quit [05:58] why what [05:58] who wre you [05:58] pattman: ubuntu server is a thing that installs many packages.... wich packages do you need? [05:58] werwr [05:59] all packages [06:00] hi, [06:00] I need some help [06:00] It's about conky [06:00] Q: After installing, when I try to boot, I get an NVIDIA Boot Agent, which runs a mac address line, and then fails to boot. Is this a failure in Grub2? [06:00] Does anyone uses ConkyWizard? [06:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867076 john___ here is very good begiiners guide [06:01] ActionParsnip: has there been reports about such issues? changing wifi card and getting problems? [06:01] miyamoto: ok try: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf delete ALL text and add this: nameserver 8.8.8.8 save the new file and close gedit and all browsers. Then reopen your browser and try the web, it it ok? [06:01] well what are you trying to accomplish with ubuntu server? [06:02] I have read a lot of guides but with no answer.. [06:02] Any one here program any websites? [06:02] john___, please have a look at that one [06:02] slie: What's your real question? [06:02] I want to use conky forecast using conkywizard [06:02] slie, care to ask a clear question? [06:03] Has anyone done this ? [06:03] john___, did you read the guide I linked you yet? [06:03] KB1JWQ: I am having a hard time sifting through all of the "use what ever you feel like to program your website" [06:03] This is a guide for conky, not conkywizard! [06:04] slie: It really comes down to personal taste. [06:04] I want the full functionality of a full blown power of a language. [06:04] john___, try #conky then perhaps [06:04] slie: nano or bust. [06:04] pattman: do you know what a server is? [06:04] With conky I can do it [06:04] kb1jwq: yeah that is my problem that is what every one says [06:04] john___, no idea what you want with conkywizard [06:04] thorbj0rn: nano or bust? [06:04] !html | slie [06:04] slie: html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build web pages. WYSIWYG editors: KompoZer (was Nvu), Iceape Composer, Amaya - Development environments: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem - For a howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com/ [06:04] The problem is that I want to use it on conkywizard [06:05] and I cannot find anyway to set it up [06:05] ActionParsnip: doesnt work. [06:05] john___, conkywizard is an app from the repos? [06:05] not [06:05] ubottu: yeah i know html but i need that to access something more powerful like python [06:05] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:05] miyamoto: ok, well that file is generated so if you disable wireless then re-enable it you will put the file back :) [06:05] thorbj0rn: I prerfer VIM :) [06:06] slie, python.org [06:06] ActionParsnip: so.. what should i do? [06:06] Has anyone used ConkyWizard? [06:06] miyamoto: not sure, maybe others can contribute [06:07] ActionParsnip: ok.. [06:07] john___, that is a google code app [06:07] g_0_0: thanks got that would you reccomend learning one of those apis? like mod_python? or does java script have that power [06:07] Ok, [06:07] ActionParsnip: btw i have same problem in my laptop too. i bought two usb dongles. and in my laptop it uses bcm4313 chipset. i disabled the driver in the laptop. same problem. :( [06:08] slie, I'm not sure I follow you [06:08] I will use simple conky configuration [06:08] john___, check their support forums. no idea why you'd need it as the conky guide I gave you can do all that [06:08] thanks anyway [06:08] linux has poor wifi support for many older cards [06:09] Is there a better channel specifically for assistance with installs? I'm not sure my bootloader is actually loading up. [06:09] slie, I thought you wanted to learn python [06:09] g_0_0: mod_python is a module that integrates with apache, and will allow me to write my page with python [06:09] slie, http://learnpythonthehardway.org/static/LearnPythonTheHardWay.pdf [06:09] Ciphermagi, please describe the issue with clarity [06:09] miketomdool, nope. its not linux fault. its vendor fault they dont upgrade themselve to open standards [06:09] miyamoto: those cheap broadcoms are super easy to get working, just hook up a wired link and run the hardware driver app [06:09] slie, yeah you write python scripts [06:10] I have a USB bluetooth adapter that is 2.0+EDR (0e5e:6622 Conwise Technology Co., Ltd. CW6622). I can plug it into my kubuntu desktop and it immediately detects it and works, however, when I connect a2dp headphones to it, the audio stutters (on for one second, off for one second, on for a second, etc.) Are there any tweaks i can make to make it work? The headphones work fine on my kubuntu netbook with built-in bluetooth [06:10] #join documentfoundation [06:10] ActionParsnip: i mean, i used broadcom. and now i am throwing it and replacing with rtl8187 dongle. so got same problem here too. [06:10] ActionParsnip: anyway thank you very much for trying to help me [06:10] yeah i'm just trying to see if i should do that or not. [06:10] Abhijit: true :) [06:10] On boot, after 'Verifying DMI Pool Data .............' an NVIDIA boot loader runs, and can't find a bootable partition. [06:11] brb [06:11] I tried putting an old boot disk for windows in, and rebooting, and the disk can't be read (obviously), but it sends me to a grub rescue> prompt. [06:11] g_0_0: yeah i'm just trying to see if i should go down that road or if there is something better. I think that is really why i'm questioning myself [06:12] slie, http://docs.python.org/howto/webservers.html [06:12] slie, do you mean using python or php etc ? [06:13] g_0_0: haha thanks yeah i read that server page and all of the CGI possibilities [06:14] g_0_0: yeah do you reccomend a certine mixture of languages like, javascrips with html or php. if i go with python will i need php jscript or anything like that [06:14] I'm actually looking at the grub manual, and it suggests breaking into the menu for the early stage loader, but I don't know how to do that. [06:15] Ciphermagi: what BIOS does your computer have? on one of my laptops i kept getting grub rescue> cause i had a crappy bios [06:16] umm any chance i could get some help? [06:16] g_0_0: thanks for that pdf i will have fun with that thing [06:16] miketomdool: I'm not sure, but I can reboot to read the text on the BIOS if you'll give me a minute. [06:17] riaku, with? [06:17] I sort of have a problem, but i doubt it has anything to do with ubuntu, it seems something to do with a local part of my network which has gone haywire [06:17] "Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG" [06:18] "12/30/2008-NV-MCP61-6A61KG0AC-00" [06:18] the ip adress is 10.234.0.1 and i think the 10.0.0.0 means it is a local object [06:19] riaku: its a private ip...whats the issue? [06:19] http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/2742/5ghz.png [06:19] the issue is a high ping sorry xD [06:19] over 100ms [06:20] on average that is [06:20] miketomdool: I have an exact shot of what's going on now, that I can type out to you, if you'd like. [06:21] riaku: what is the network topology? i.e how are the various machines in the local network connected? [06:22] hi [06:22] cable to modem, modem to router, router wirelessly to 3 PCs, and 2 wired lines to PCs [06:22] my phone has some weird name when its mounted in ubuntu how can i change it? [06:22] it has some weird characters [06:22] i want to use Apache in Ubuntu.. guys what i need? [06:23] !lamp > venus [06:23] venus, please see my private message [06:23] xampp [06:23] DiSTORT3D, thats not supported here use lamp [06:24] sorry :( [06:25] riaku: so this ping issue is for local addresses only? or for all ips? [06:25] I tried uploading an HD(1080p) video to youtube. While it looks awesome on VLC it looks like crap(Pixellation at 1080p, Lag in the video...). Should I convert the video to some other format and upload it [06:25] hi, i'm back on ubuntu after a while of using gentoo. i notice that some services don't show up under sysv-rc-conf and should be instead modified with the command service. any wiki/doc on that or any tips? any tool like sysv-rc-conf to easily and conveniently manage them? [06:25] bonjoyee: local I believe, but ill send you the traceroute if you wish [06:25] lamp is fine?

For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [06:25] venus, yes [06:25] oh thanks bazhang [06:26] hi venus [06:26] riaku: try with some wan ips ..

[06:27] bruce_: empathy can do yahoo accounts and msn etc etc [06:27] ActionParsnip, when i run sudo file -sL /dev/sda2 i got http://pastie.org/1527405 do u think its possible to recover the drive? [06:27] bruce_: install it from the partner repo [06:28] bonjoyee: I PMed you [06:28] p009: ok then websearch for the journal recovery bit, see how its fixed [06:28] riaku: yep..got it [06:29] hey guys [06:29] i try to install libre office from their ppa and now it is first removeing open office. is that normal? [06:29] cant i have both at same time? [06:30] is any one of you using 10.10..? is there any issue in 10.10 as i want to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 [06:31] abhinav_singh1: yes you can only have one or the other [06:31] !upgrade | abhinav_singh1 [06:31] abhinav_singh1: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [06:31] abhinav_singh1: use the server method (it's easier imho) [06:31] ActionParsnip, I think you meant AbhijiT [06:32] ActionParsnip, ?? [06:32] ActionParsnip, may i know why the reason? why we only have either LO or OO? [06:32] Does Ubuntu Netbook Edition have LPIA (Low Power Intel Architecture) optimizations? [06:32] i know how to upgrade ...but i wanna ensure that 10.10 has no or less issues ..more ever 10.04 is long term support while 10.10 is not ActionParsnip [06:33] at a time that is. [06:33] abhinav_singh1, I have had no issues with 10.10 after about 2 weeks of using it [06:33] AbhijiT: why do you want both at the same time? [06:33] AbhijiT: no idea, I'd ask the devs [06:33] kool gunndawg [06:33] hee [06:34] vish, i dont want to looste stability of OO as I am in lucid. i want to test LO [06:34] ActionParsnip, ok [06:34] ah! === nexus is now known as Guest74074 [06:34] vish, ?? [06:35] AbhijiT: not very sure either, i guess package was uploaded to replace rather than to co-exist , like Firefox and Minefeild [06:35] abhinav_singh1: i've been using 10.10 as my main desktop for a couple of months .. love it [06:36] vish, yeah. but i mean the reason is political or technical? [06:36] abhinav_singh1: you'll get different issues, more issues or fewer issues. There's no real guaruntee [06:36] AbhijiT: not sure what you mean by "political" , but it might have just been that no one saw the necessity for co-existing [06:36] Abhinav1, and abhinav_singh1 you both are same? [06:37] vish, okay [06:37] AbhijiT: you can just remove the ppa and downgrade back to OOo , if you have issues.. [06:37] vish, yah now installing LO it first removed my OO. let see hows this LO!!! :) [06:38] no [06:38] my OO - means my Open Office!!!! :P :D (what you where thinking? :P ) [06:38] abhinav_singh1, ok [06:39] abhinav_singh1: do you use all the components of the office suite? [06:40] not really..i use my system for programming purposes ActionParsnip [06:40] abhinav_singh1: then you can remove it and save 300Mb of space :D [06:40] so what do you need office for then [06:41] yup ActionParsnip :) [06:41] My GPU is 53C is this normal?

[06:44] ny3blpb: sounds like you turned on autologin [06:45] nothing [06:45] thats the problem [06:45] define nothing [06:45] it shows the background and thats all [06:45] ny3blpb: do you see the kernel start up and modules and services loading? [06:45] but that pc have a login and password [06:46] no [06:47] ny3blpb: what happens if you hold control+alt+f1 .. do you see a tty? [06:47] ny3blpb you need to go into single user and change the run leevel to 3 and see if you can boot.... [06:48] I have 9.10 server. I don't know how to use it so I downloaded xubuntu 9.10. I would like to see all my 20 pcs through this server. They're all wireless. If I ping a certain PC, my server sees it but how do I know they are networked? [06:49] gardenia: you can use nmap to scan the subnet [06:50] ok il try that now. [06:50] gardenia: if you can ping it, they are networked [06:50] hahaha i if it rise up to 70C i will bomb hp [06:50] devkorcvince, pardon? [06:51] other than what Action has said you need to start ggogling networks and servers [06:51] bazhang my dv6t has GPU temp 52C idle [06:51] building new kernels take so many time, getting sleepy [06:51] Is there any way I can see all the 20 pcs. in my gui the xubuntu?

[06:52] google is chaos :o [06:52] Guest74074, dont suggest that here please [06:52] hil hitler [06:53] Guest74074, thats not appropriate. please stop [06:53] !google | Guest74074 [06:53] ActionParsnip: I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [06:53] Results for | Guest74074 on Google: [06:53] -- [06:53] !google | test [06:53] gpc: I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [06:53] Results for | test on Google: [06:53] -- [06:53] gardenia: if they aren't sharing services then why would you want to?

What sort of mentality do you have?? If you can't help directly at least give some direction [06:55] zend [06:55] I own the 20 pcs. and I want to see them. I could them share if I want to but the thing is I don't know how [06:55] DiSTORT3D: using that kernel renders issues not supoprted here as it isnt an ubuntu official kernel, plus you compiled it yourself [06:55] Action if its a question worth answering as long as the question is specific and detailed enough [06:56] and if its on topic [06:56] gardenia: why would you want to if they aren't giving any services. What does it achieve? [06:56] I dont ask for support right ? [06:56] maybe Ive spent to log working as an admin [06:56] lomg* [06:56] long* [06:56] DiSTORT3D: unless you are using the offical kernels it is not possible for us to support [06:57] Guest74074: this is not a debate, we are telling you what our channel policy is, telling people to google is not acceptable. [06:57] so that each of the 20 pcs. could use my printer. All they have to do is click print but it would be printed in my printer [06:57] im aware of the possible issues and, using software that arnt in the repo's [06:57] omg fuck this channel your all a bunch of little no fuck all hitlers learn to use a real distro you fucking noobs [06:57] Guest74074: telling new users to google makes the community look bad. they come here for support. I#'m sure they are aware of websearching [06:58] * ActionParsnip is glad s/he went [06:59] I agree with you ActionParsnip. I google a lot but sometimes its just not enough === richard is now known as Guest63372 [07:00] I have so many problems with regards to networking computers, computer repair and many others [07:03] gardenia: if systems are sharing folders they will show in the places -> network window [07:03] /server irc.all4y.net [07:03] gardenia: if a system isn't providing any service then its pointless to see it as it doesn't achieve anything. You could install some form of SNMP system to poll the systems to make sure they are up and have a diagram of the up / down ones === Anom01y is now known as Anom_ [07:07] Do I need to install samba in each of my 20 pcs. so that they can print in my printer? The thing is all of these 20 pcs. are used everyday. We only have one printer. What we do now is save it on a usb then go to my desk then print it. I want a system that will allow them to just click print [07:08] yes [07:09] !cups | gardenia [07:09] gardenia: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[07:15] how to install yahoomessenger on ubuntu [07:15] You mean without removing Rhythmbox? [07:15] @bruce install pidgin .. sudo apt-get install pidgin. Then you can add your yahoo account [07:15] bruce, use Wine. I suggest using Pidgin though. [07:15] hello! i'm compiling a driver for a wireless card following instructions by the manufacturer. at one point they say "run sudo make and ensure that has no any error message for compiler", then if all's well, go ahead with sudo make install. ...only i DO get errors. am i screwed unless I learn C and fix the errors myself? [07:16] have it linux version? [07:16] scotty, Either way. [07:16] yes [07:16] Starminn: Right clic on mp3 > Properties > Open With > Add > Banshee [07:16] How about for the little speaker icon on the panel though? [07:16] Starminn: System > Preferences > Preferred Apps either select banshee or select custom and add /usr/bin/banshee in the command box [07:17] gpc, Already done it. [07:17] Search yahoomessenger deb package [07:17] Starminn: it should already be in the volume icon [07:18] !empathy | bruce_ [07:18] bruce_: Empathy is the default instant messaging and video client for GNOME. Since Karmic, it has been the default client in Ubuntu, replacing !pidgin [07:18] or install pidgin. it supports yahoo [07:18] gpc, Nope. It's running right now (listening with it currently) and it is in the Notification tray (place with internet connections and such), but the speaker icon only gives me the option to open Rhythmbox [07:19] Starminn: you might have to go into banshee prefs and check the show in sound menu box [07:19] bruce, Yep. Empathy comes default and worked fine with my Yahoo!. Currently I am using Pidgin with my Yahoo! (and what I'm in this chat with at the moment), but it's ultimately your choice. [07:20] gpc, Bahaha, you are a genius, my friend. [07:20] glad to help [07:20] this driver i'm trying to compile seems intent on creating a directory in /etc/Wireless, but /etc/Wireless isn't a directory. ...what could i possibly do now? [07:20] I will work on your suggestions. Thanks. In the meantime, may I ask another question. As laboratory manager of the school, one of my problems is that the students instead of doing their hands-on is opening facebook which is not related to their task. How can I as the server limit what they are viewing without using my router configuration. I tried using my router but it can't read anymore my yahoomail. [07:21] Another question though. I reliaze this has to do with my theme (the ever-popular SlicknesS), but in the sound menu, user switch menu, and power options menu (though not the message menu) the text is black on a black background. [07:21] any help with this http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?4a1ceae654.png [07:21] Any easy fixes or just go through to the theme in my system and manually edit the source to give it white text? === seba is now known as Guest9303 [07:22] Starminn: I think you answered your own question [07:22] abhinav_singh, what version of ubuntu [07:23] 10.04 bazhang [07:23] abhinav_singh, what were you trying to do that generated that message [07:23] gpc, Ah, well I was honestly hoping for some type of simple GUI I didn't know about. :D Ah well, time to fix that little text problem. :) [07:23] trying upgrading to 10.10 bazhang [07:24] Starminn: you should be able to edit the theme from the theme manager but I really couldn't say. I use default theme [07:24] abhinav_singh, please pastebin your sources.list [07:25] hey ppl, i need some help: the thing is that my computer was stolen. And there are a lot of sensetive information on it on /home. It was encrypted by the Ubuntu default option - is there possibility that the guy who stole it will be able to get to information on that partition? [07:26] Ghost_: wa the user logged in at the time? [07:26] was* [07:26] bazhang http://pastebin.com/7z1BUyxg [07:26] nope the laptop was turned off [07:26] twitch: [07:27] Ghost_: it is possible. [07:27] gpc: so the only way is to use different ways of encryption - right? [07:28] gpc: and where is the hole for this system breaking? [07:28] Ghost_: well if they really want to get the info and with enough time and the right tools they can but it isn't simple [07:28] hiya [07:29] Ghost_: hopefully you had a pretty stong password, if you did .. I wouldn't worry [07:29] How can I enable Totem, or other windows, to take focus when run? example: when I run totem from by executing a movie in Nautilus, it always appears beneath the other windows [07:29] gpc: the thing is that they aren't just amateurs - they knew what they are doing, and the laptop was stolen on purpose [07:30] Ghost_: then you may want to consider changing your passwords to sensitive sites. [07:30] like bank and credit card companies and such [07:31] Mhz128: devilspie can take actions when new windows appear. Grab gdevilspie from googlecode to make co [07:31] gpc, twitch: The passphrase was pritty big, i think something like 30bits [07:31] Config easier [07:31] gpc: is it just broodforcing? Or rainbow tablets? Or there is really a security issue with default encryption of the home partition? [07:32] Mhz128: gdevilspie is a python based app so doesn't need co [07:32] Compiling [07:32] i cant read dvd [07:32] ActionParsnip, its from googlecode?? weird [07:32] what player do you use [07:32] Ghost_: there is no security issue with the encryption used in Ubuntu. The issue is not securing your laptop [07:32] !dvd [07:32] !dvd > lewix [07:32] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:32] lewix, please see my private message [07:33] !dvd > bazhang [07:33] bazhang, please see my private message [07:33] gpc: there is always possibility like that - that someone can break in your apartment when you're not home and take what they need [07:33] lewix, I know it already [07:34] Mhz128: only the gui. Devilspie is in the repo. If you want to learn the config file be my guest [07:34] Ghost_: true. what I am saying is that the level of encryption is a moot point now. the laptop is gone, your next move is protecting your data from being accessed after the encryption is broken. [07:34] bazhang, so do I [07:34] Ghost_: if your password was 30 char's long they wont brute force it .. and rainbow tables doesnt apply to this [07:35] ActionParsnip, thanks guy!!! [07:35] Mhz128: i use it to auto [07:35] auto? [07:35] gpc: so if they want to break my home partition it will take quite a while with default encryption (i mean a couple of years at least?). And i think they won't be able to get any sensitive internet information as i'm not storing it on the hard drive. [07:36] Mhz128: automaximize my irc window named '#ubuntu' ;-) [07:36] twitch: so theoretically they won't be able to get the information from the home partition for a while ... ? [07:36] what's a good way to restart per-user pulseaudio? [07:37] Ghost_: bruteforcing a 20 char password will take 1281388174846285 years [07:37] tensorpudding: kill the user's pulseaudio process [07:37] Ghost_: look up brute force calc [07:38] How do I install chrome? [07:38] twitch, gpc: ok thx for that! I've just getting paranoid about what might happen to the info ))) [07:38] Ghost_: do you have lau [07:39] Launch codes for nukes? [07:39] no [07:39] don't do that [07:40] lolcat: first time install ? [07:40] Ghost_: np's [07:40] hi again [07:40] Lolcat: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser [07:40] almoxarife: Yep [07:40] hello [07:40] ActionParsnip: THanks, I did chromium and got some weird game [07:40] bazhang, the thing is even though i installed that library I cannot read dvds...strange [07:40] what GTH server [07:40] T? [07:40] lolcat: the answer is above or directly from the web site [07:41] you can me gave /.?

[07:43] twitch, no [07:43] ahh ok [07:43] i dont use it .. sry :P [07:44] Twitch: yes but its not the daily which has less tracking stuff and beta features [07:44] Recovery Mode is not working after install kdebase-workspace and removed GDM.How can fix this problem please? [07:45] Probme: ca [07:45] ActionParsnip: ahh ok .. thanks for the info [07:45] Can you boot to root recovery mode with networking [07:46] ActionParsnip, sorry i did not get you [07:47] ActionParsnip, ca mean? [07:47] is it still best to do clean install of a new ubuntu version, or is upgrade working even better now? Considering moving from .04 to 10. [07:47] Probme: hold SHIFT at boot, select recovery mode, select root with networking [07:47] trond-, both are fine. [07:48] Probme: ca means my phone is touchscreen and i'm on a bus [07:48] trond-: i always clean install personally [07:49] ActionParsnip, But i am not getting such a option (That is my problem) [07:49] Is there anybody that can tell me how to force bios to look in /dev/sdb for my bootloader? [07:49] trond-: i always do a clean install on every OS [07:50] Probme: then grub2 is at fault. Removing gdm etc will not affect that [07:50] dropbox for shell does that work? [07:50] ActionParsnip, May be. Can i fix it? [07:51] arcsky: I use dropbox in gnome and works great [07:51] arcsky: works here. I even made a script to install it so dropbox is DE independent [07:51] ActionParnship..can you pls tell me what i should do if i have to learn kernel programming?? [07:52] Probme: boot to live cd and you can reinstate grub2 [07:52] Guest80998: never done it, try in #kernel [07:53] What is Lucid? [07:53] thank you..

I'm running lucid [07:55] ActionParsnip, Console as default is good for me [07:55] anybody home [07:55] !root |root [07:55] root: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible.

[07:56] bazhang, Yeah [07:56] Guest49325: sup? [07:56] probme, sounds like it created some issues'; did you try to remove plymouth? [07:57] Is there anyone that can help me figure out how to boot from /dev/sdb? [07:57] screen-x, its rootirc [07:57] bazhang, Yeah apt-get remove plymouth but it ask to remove everything(a lot of apps) [07:57] Guest49325: running an irc client as root is massively foolhardy [07:57] bazhang: ahh :) [07:58] Good evening. Not sure where to ask about this problem: Flashplayer has video, but no audio [07:58] probme, and you were warned not to do that, correct? [07:58] waht [07:58] action parsnip ftw? [07:58] bazhang, Yeah Y/N and i typed N at least [07:59] Guest49325: you are running your irc client as root. Its a really bad idea [07:59] y? [07:59] In what language Ubuntu softwares are programmed? [07:59] Because IRC isn't secure. Someone could take over your computer. [07:59] Guest49325: becuase someone might be able to exploit your irc client [07:59] its ok [08:00] Guest49325: its bad for security [08:00] they can try [08:00] sss: most of them :) [08:00] i think so too [08:00] screen-x, Does Ubuntu have an API or something like that? [08:00] but thats the way i do it [08:00] Is there an equivalent to msconfig for ubuntu? it seems alot of the random crap I installed runs in the background.

[08:10] ok ftp :P [08:10] goddard: in my understanding sftp uses ssh, ftps is ftp+ssl [08:10] screen-x then why have ftp at all? [08:10] so you guys i believe dont use windows? [08:10] is it more limited? [08:11] goddard: No such thing as anonymous sftp. [08:11] KirkMcDonald so its only useful if you want to login anonymously?

[08:21] ActionParsnip: I looked in syslog and auth there was nothing I could see that related at all.. the connection log displayed on the window stops at 'sending login info to sesman' .... restarting the xrdp service does nothing. [08:21] neil_d: are there any bugs logged? [08:22] bazhang, Need to solve the Recovery or console mode login . I do not like to use gdm but if it is impossible without gdm or kdm then i can use kdm instead gdm [08:22] probme, you removed it? [08:23] bazhang, Yeah i remove GDM and currently have the KDM [08:23] probme, please pastebin the exact errors you are receiving [08:24] bazhang, Perhaps i need to take picture of the error because it is not starting anymore [08:27] Hi all, anyone out there that can help an Ubuntu newbie with missing resolutions in x server (I suspect a driver is not installed correctly, maybe monitor?) Trying to get 1920x1280, max is 1360x720 which is horrible on my monitor [08:27] ActionParsnip: not that I have found... in sesman.log there is just one message when I try to login...

Suggestions on killing it? [08:28] Sir_rusty: what video chip? [08:28] 9800gt [08:28] (Nvidia) [08:29] It seems to have only loaded very simple resolutions, I can view in X Server it says I have a 9800, my monitor however shows as CRT:0 I think [08:29] CRT-1 maybe [08:30] Sir_rusty: ok run: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings [08:30] to open Xserver, right? [08:30] if i have to build ubuntu(UCE) where should i look for the source code ? [08:30] I beleieve its already ported to ubuntu ? [08:31] Sir_rusty: set the res to something then click 'save to x config file' [08:31] I have already done that before, once I switched from 1024 res to 1368 [08:32] so when I reboot defaults to 1368x720 but I can't choose any higher [08:32] Sir_rusty: then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:32] have also done, how should I modifiy it? [08:32] fyi ubuntu 10.10 [08:32] I'm not sure which lines to add/modify [08:33] Sir_rusty: and manually edit the res in the screen section. Save the file and reboot [08:33] Have also done that, and that is about as far as I have gotten [08:33] but still no difference [08:34] any ideas guys ? [08:34] driver update? [08:34] Sir_rusty: so you set it to the res you wanted? [08:34] should my Identifier show 'Screen0' and Monitor "Monitor0' or should it show a specific description [08:34] sometimes nvidia has more info on they're website about linux drivers [08:34] yup, set to res I wanted Option "metamodes" "1920x1280 +0+0" saved the file and rebooted [08:35] Huh shouldnt you look at log why its not showing the 1920x resolution in the list [08:36] and what driver are you using -- nouveau works fine for me (nvidia gts250) [08:36] The one time that happened to me, i never clicked Apply after/before saving xconf [08:36] it's not just 1920 missing, I'm missing heaps of resolutions, I have only two widescreen res' 1360x768 and 1152x864 [08:36] hi [08:36] hi [08:37] Sir_rusty: hmm that's all i got. Maybe others can help. I gotta sleep. Its late/early here [08:37] I've def applied, have tried many, many times [08:37] why is the mac address useful, why the ip isn't enough ? [08:37] ty anyway [08:38] just finding driver, not very good with Ubuntu yet (Windows user for years, shoot me). [08:38] yeah i agree [08:38] hullo. any recommendations for a good download manager (i need to be able to throttle & resume). i'm looking at fatrat, uget, and multiget, but can't really decide [08:38] ok, I don't know how to check my video driver, still really new [08:38] did you say you had fresh install with native drivers -- not self installed from nvidia website? [08:39] I had to install 3rd party [08:39] bc81: aria2. Just a thought. [08:39] chech /var/log/Xorg.0.log [08:39] well it said I did (obviously replacing the generic it was using [08:39] red2kic: GUI is preferred, but thanks for the suggestion [08:39] 3rd party drivers == problems [08:39] chech command not found [08:40] It told me I have to use 3rd party I think [08:40] oh sorry, i meant check out with some text editor [08:40] like notepad or kate or gedit [08:40] kk [08:40] but you installed them from package manager, not download from nvidia.com ? [08:40] thats fine [08:40] package manager [08:41] you should see on the log file information about the driver [08:41] bazhang, Here is small jpg. Sorry i have taken it by my mobile http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/8809/spa0029j.jpg [08:41] just looking for driver info in the log now, it's a rather big log [08:41] how do I connect to an implicit ssl ftp site from the command prompt? [08:42] Yeah its kombined X (graphics) log [08:42] is this what I want (scanning this log for a version is tricky for me) NVIDIA GLX Module 260.19.06 [08:42] you should see there somethign like "(II) Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation"" === SiRGothack is now known as SiR_Gothack [08:43] (you can search for nvidia in the file and ignore other lines) [08:43] probme, why not just do what actionparsnip recommended? [08:43] bazhang, Have you got this please? After these a lot of message it is not starting anything === psymobile is now known as psytest [08:44] probme, I'm not clear what you have modified and removed, etc. why not follow actionparsnip 's advice [08:44] this perhaps? Module nvidia: vendor="NVIDIA Corporation" [08:44] [ 14.490] compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0 [08:44] [ 14.490] Module class: X.Org Video Driver [08:44] how do I connect to an implicit ssl ftp site from the command prompt? [08:45] Sir_Rusty: checked Administration/Hardware Drivers? Updates? [08:45] bazhang, installing gdm? [08:45] probme, yes. [08:45] I don't have Administration/Hardware Drivers [08:45] if I got admin/additional drivers it says I have the latest [08:46] Sir_Rusty, its additional drivers [08:46] knottie: you mean using a terminal ftp client that supports ssl? [08:46] Sir_rusty, mayby you could upload the log file say in pastebin.com and i can check it out [08:46] bazhang, But i like only kde even if it is start as startx then it is more good(kde startx command for gui) [08:46] jadahl: well, yes. the terminal ftp client that comes doesn't support ssl, and I'm not sure ftp-ssl does implicit either [08:46] knottie: try "lftp" [08:46] probme, okay, then no idea, sorry. [08:47] jadahl: what is the switch for implicit with lftp? [08:47] hi [08:47] ok, thanks, back soon [08:47] i dont know, but lftp supports pretty many options so maybe it can do what you want as well [08:47] jadahl: Well, I have it and I've read man lftp and I didn't notice an implicit ssl switch [08:48] i do not have high resolution available on my netbook, is there a way to make icons lots smaller and make it appear similar to if i had high resolution? [08:48] leapy0yo, change the icon size? [08:48] irc.freenode.net [08:48] knottie: AFAICS it supports ftps both explicit and implicit [08:49] the icon sizes and the toolbar at the top for ubuntu...if i can make it appear as if i had high resolution [08:49] http://pastebin.com/uathg3MA I'm taking a guess that's how I link it (haven't used before, cool idea though). [08:49] http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/1662/folderscreenshot.png - It changed to gray, how do I restore to default colors? [08:49] leapy0yo, what resolution do you have currently? [08:50] jadahl: I don't see how. [08:50] sss, seems you need to change the theme via the theme manager [08:50] have you tried just entering ftps:...?

[09:33] pvl1, I want to get rid of the menubars and titlebars of applications and instead load them on the panel whenever I maximize an app. like the netbook edition but on my desktop [09:33] DPx: run firefox trough the console [09:33] JenniferB2, before booting a live cd, edit the string and take off the last bit, you should get a lot of debug info [09:33] JenniferB2: in the install when it comes to parts do u select use entire disk [09:33] edit the string ? [09:33] guys, where can I edit to modify PATH for all users on the system? [09:33] grub is installed on wrong drive how can i fix it [09:34] twitch: I get the screen to choose language and then I select install ubuntu [09:34] lewix: depends on what you want to do. pitivi is a lot like windows movie maker, and avidemux is similar to virtualdub [09:34] and end up in the live disc stuff anyway [09:34] !manual | sss: [09:34] sss:: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[09:38] ag24sas, yea sure [09:38] pvl1, I went to that website earlier but in the installation section there is no ppa for lucid or maverick :\ [09:38] JenniferB2, seems to me that the boot options are set to cd then disk, change to disk (harddisk) then cd.. and you won't boot into live cd. [09:39] Antonis, just get the source and compile it [09:39] JenniferB2: e.g. i had a laptop and it took like 10 cold reboots until ubuntu would fully instal;l once it was on it worked fime but i cant TS installs [09:39] pvl1, ok.. let me see how it goes :p brb [09:40] DPx: it seems to be an error according the propietary radeon driver [09:40] hi [09:40] sl33k_: example, if you have a "work horse" machine that maybe only encodes video 24/7 or renders 3d sequences, never has a need to connect to the net..you can run this system indefinitely without updating [09:41] hi BLuEGoD [09:41] thanks iqpi_ will have a look into it [09:41] I've succesfuly upgraded my php version in hardy manually to 5.3, however, I don't know how to "update" apache to get the new php working... google didn't help me on this.. could anyone point me in the right direction?

[09:43] oh I don't think I would do the same in Ubuntu, FreeBSD or Windows, so I don't think it's unrelated [09:44] Tm_T: 5.3 is supported? [09:44] twitch: I have no idea, you didn't state why it would be offtopic [09:44] BLuEGoD: sl33k_ that's entirely up to you..and how much you value the security of your data. on a personal note, i set up a laptop for my parents, and disabled updating (and all the problems that come with it) so i only update once or twice a year and they are not complainging (then again they only use the computer for light browsing and email/games etc [09:44] it's not in stable .. ?

[09:47] just php [09:47] Tm_T: syr going to bed to annoyed as a pissed person :P [09:47] I got the previous version of the module [09:47] sl33k_: unless you've been working with very large files (e.g. video) I don't know that you'll save much space 'deleting temporary files'.

[09:49] bc81: will it give problems when installing modules to other partitions? [09:49] Tm_T ok. thanks. ill do that:D [09:49] sl33k_: yes, but you only have about 6 gig for your entire linux installation. please consider shrinking windows, and expanding linux partition by 20 or more GB [09:49] pvl1, do you maybe know how to do the same for the min,max,close buttons? I mean get them on the panel? [09:49] sl33k_: i don't know..what do you mean by modlues? [09:49] aethelrick: ok! so do you think the module is in the php tarball already ? [09:50] bc81: like checking out from a repository. [09:50] Antonis, uhm, unless you wanna hack the source code, no idea [09:50] Antonis, but then again, i dont see why that would be so difficult [09:50] BluEGoD: gimme a sec... checking [09:50] thanks!! [09:50] hello, i was wondering if anyone was willing to help me with a problem [09:51] hey [09:51] bc81: modules are like drivers that get loaded drom the kernel to run our "other devices" [09:51] LO looks promising!! :) [09:51] I will let you know if I find anything =) [09:51] thanks for helping!

[10:14] I dont have a boot partition and my fist partition on th edrive is swap [10:16] !fixgrub | rileyp [10:16] rileyp: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [10:16] AbhijiT, It is grub2 [10:16] is there a way to issue a command from a tty to the main screen? [10:17] rileyp, karmic that is 9.10 onwards we have grub2 [10:17] AbhijiT, Im usingthe os at present that has the drive I wish to remove [10:17] rileyp, no idea. i am not getting you. [10:17] its lucid and grub2 I know that bit [10:17] And it works but only if I maintain my old drive in to allow it to boot [10:18] when that drive is removed it does not boot [10:18] I'm trying to run XFCE in VNC on a headless server (ubuntu 10.10 server). I have VNC working, but it is connecting to a plain old X desktop. How can I have XFCE be used? [10:19] wait, it appears xubuntu-desktop didn't get installed [10:19] Aesisx you can ssh -X username@192.168.1.10 [10:19] and then just type the program you want [10:20] eg thunar! [10:20] rileyp, I'm wanting a full desktop. I'm a Windows guy normally, and I find I work much more effeciently in a GUI. :S [10:21] that aside, where do I type "ssh -X username@addy"? [10:21] terminal [10:21] I'm using Windows as my desktop, so I guess I'd type that in my putty SSH session? [10:21] do you have ssh installed ? [10:22] hi, tail -f works as expected locally, but I experience buffer problems when tailing log files in a mounted cifs filesystem (windows eol) [10:22] sometimes new lines don't show up, but can be seen with tail -n though. Any hint? [10:22] ahh -x wont work in windows without lots of fiddling sorry [10:22] AeSix: You would have to install Windows X11 app. I don't know the name of it but you'd need one. [10:23] red2kic, IS ON THE MONEY [10:23] red2kic - thought that's pretty much what VNC was doing? [10:23] is there a way to issue a command from a tty to the main screen? [10:23] AeSix: VNC stream out everything that's on the "screen" -- where ssh is just CLI, but could bring you an X11 application to work on. [10:23] furi selected a bad screen res? [10:23] lol I did that yesterday [10:24] rileyp, nah, just have an opened up fullscreen program and would like to get rid of it [10:24] Hello [10:24] First time on irc [10:24] Rather interesting [10:24] AeSix: It is more of a preference that he is offering you. That's all. [10:24] then just kiol the program from the tty screen [10:24] eg killall xbmc] [10:25] you mean, that works? [10:25] if i'm logged in as that user [10:25] red2kic - like I stated, i've got VNC working, but I've got the plain old X desktop. I know it's possible to have VNC connect to XFCE, but don't know how to do it in this scenario [10:25] furi: F11 will usually take the program out of full screen [10:25] yes [10:25] wow, thought it involved connecting to the X program or something [10:25] idk, i'm not really... savvy [10:25] AeSix: what vnc server are you running? [10:25] AeSix: I never really messed around with VNC much myself. Sorry. :O [10:25] Hey, My video is kinda laggy on the latest release of ubuntu. 10.10 i think. Anyway my computer is a HP Pavilion ZE5600 series, what do i have to do to upgrade? Thanks. [10:26] bc81 tightvncserver [10:26] thanks [10:26] Drue192, no one know what video adaptor you have that migt help [10:26] AeSix: i have had the same trouble with it, have you tried x11vncserver? or vino server works well too [10:26] I attempted to duplicate a config I had on a previous server. The main difference though is that machine had a GUI desktop, this one does not. [10:26] is its nvidia or intel or ati [10:27] I just don't know what I'm not doing [10:27] AeSix, just install linux instaed of windows on the client machine and all problems fixed [10:27] :D [10:27] You going to buy me a new computer I can use for gmaing, rileyp? [10:28] whats the australian room? [10:28] #2,000 [10:28] sorry [10:28] furi go back to tty7 and alt +tab out of it (only possible if another program is running' [10:28] that was wrong of me. [10:28] Im skippy :D [10:29] AeSix: try installing vino then starting it with /usr/lib/vino/vino-server see if that works [10:29] AeSix: How are you connecting to the VNC? I'm thinking you're using root account if you're getting a plain display X11 thing. [10:29] Ae no it was wrong of me :D [10:29] Windows shits me these days [10:29] AeSix, I have to ask... erm, why you running an X environment on your server? (I came to the conversation late, so I may have got the wrong end of the stick) [10:29] rileyp: Language. :) [10:29] bc81 it's not tightvnc not working, that's working, I just do not know how to make XFCE get into the mix [10:29] rileyp, How would i check under ubuntu it is the only OS on this PC and i am a Ubuntu noob. [10:29] everytime I go to copy and paste by highlighting and clicking mouse and it dont work [10:30] AeSix: Did you install xubuntu-desktop? How did you install it? Server Iso? [10:30] Aethelrick - cause I need a GUI to be able to work. I'm a Windows guy normally, but the Windows VM we had set up failed miserably with KVM [10:30] hi [10:30] AeSix, what's running on your X desktop, can you simply launch XFCE? perhaps edit startx? [10:31] Aethelrick I don't know. [10:31] That's why I'm here [10:31] i try to create an unattended install of ubuntu 10.10 with crypto disk [10:31] Drue open google and type in model of your pc and find out its specs or look in dmesg from a terminal screen [10:31] AeSix, what do you see on your VNC screen? [10:31] and there's nothing running on the X VNC session other than the X cursor [10:31] how can i preseed a passwd for crypto ? [10:31] AeSix: Start from the beginning. You installed it... how? [10:31] AeSix: If you want XFCE, install xubuntu-desktop. [10:32] red2kic I did [10:32] AeSix: Presumbly from server iso? [10:32] no from apt-get [10:32] AeSix: try startxfce4 or xfce4-session [10:32] I don't have access to the server [10:32] oh [10:32] AeSix: Did you reboot after you installed it? [10:32] all I have to do is get XFCE to start and VNC will connect to it?

What does "filesystem with ordered data mode" mean? https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Changelog: "Ordered data mode loosely means any system that prevents garbage or stale data blocks after a crash." How can Ubuntu prevent garbage or stale data blocks after a crash?

Some application jump up and down when I click them [10:58] bullgard4: ext* filesystems support three modes of operation one is ordered data ( the others are writeback and journal ) you can find more details about them in « man mount » ( and probably in wikipedia and other net resources ) [10:59] sss: your resolution is not properly set..check system>>pref>>monitors [11:00] bullgard4: ordered data is the one that offers more data warantees of no data loss in a crash becouse it logs the data not only the metadata in the journal [11:02] bonjoyee, It's the highest resulution [11:04] iam installed 10.04 os in my laptop.there is no sound while playing medis files what i should do? [11:05] sss: but is it the native resolution supported by your screen? [11:06] bonjoyee, I think it is. [11:06] erUSUL: Understood. -- Thank you very much for your excellent help. [11:06] bullgard4: no problem [11:07] bonjoyee, I mean it shows and hides the title of the window, causing everything in the window go up and down [11:07] iam installed 10.04 os in my laptop.there is no sound while playing medis files what i should do? [11:08] hey there i need help [11:08] sss: yeah i got that..it happened to me after i got a new monitor..but setting the screen resolution resolved it.. [11:08] bonjoyee, When I use a lower resolution everything is too big [11:08] Hello. Quick question. I have a bash script that does a tar job. How would that work if the tar was run with verbose and executed in the background with "nohup ./script.sh &"? [11:09] What happens? [11:09] sss: wait...do you mean the title bars of the windows or the panels hiding? [11:09] i had configured an ldap server and my ubuntu client can tawk to ldapserver but users are not authenticated [11:09] bonjoyee, the title bars of the windows. [11:09] bonjoyee: where screen resoultion setting are present?

Why didnt I think of that? xD Thanks a ton! [11:11] Installing Ubuntu over a previous install, which was on a RAID1. Only option on Alternate Installer is "Erase Drive". Took 30 hours for 168G??? There has _got_ to be a better way! (Please tell me there is.) [11:12] bjaanes, e.g. ls > ls.txt puts output from ls into a file called ls.txt :) [11:13] bonjoyee: i went to monitors then next what? [11:13] yuvateja: select the resolution and apply! [11:14] Aethelrick: idd :) Worst of all, i know this, and have used it quite a lot for logging with my automatic scripts -_- But for some reason I didnt think of it now ^^ [11:14] hello, I'm making some new plymouth themes. What is the best way to take a screenshot/video of them so people can tell what they are like before installing? [11:14] DiagonalArg: I never had used RAID1 -- but Erase Drive should be really really quick. [11:15] madsailor: run them in a VM and get screenshots/videos!:) [11:16] ahh...of course. Thanks bonjoyee. [11:16] red2kic: Nope, "Erase Drive" seems to have zeroed out the whole drive, at ... 100MB/s [11:17] bonjoyee :iset 16:10 but there is no voice? === deb is now known as n3m3s1sss [11:17] yuvateja: voice? [11:17] red2kic: oops, no. I forgot a factor of 60. So that's 1.6MB/s [11:18] bonjoyee, any recommendations for a screen video capture program (rather than plain screenshots) [11:18] What the?? [11:18] bonjoyee : i install ubuntu 10.04 while opening media files there is no voice. [11:18] madsailor: never used myself..but gtkrecordmydesktop, xvidcap seem good! [11:18] DiagonalArg: You could ask in #ubuntu-server -- The traffic is slow but you might get some decent answers. [11:19] yuvateja: just when opening media files? or otherwise as well? [11:19] Ok, thanks red2kic! Appreciate it. [11:19] !screencast | madsailor [11:19] madsailor: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf.

Sound and video becomes slow and stutters. I have to reboot to get rid of it. When turning off, it spends some time "checking for unattended upgrades" before turning off normally. Any clues?

[11:45] devcorkvince: well that's what I've been thinking - unfortunately I don't have a job (but I'm trying to find one), so I'm trying to break the habit before I get one [11:46] Just so it's an easier transition.. [11:46] howoriginalAU: Get another hard drive. Keep things separate. :) [11:46] A bit of a silly question to ask in a Ubuntu forum, but I've never really used Linux before and was directed to Ubuntu as a beginner's distro...would you agree with this? [11:46] howoriginalAU: Yes. I concur. [11:47] howoriginalAU: yes, ubuntu is a good one for beginners, but linux mint is even easier [11:47] howoriginalAU, I would suggest ubuntu to anyone looking to run linux, newbies and pros alike :) convenience is not just for newbs :P [11:47] iqpi: I read something about Linux Mint as well, but I like the idea of support (which after a bit of reading, Ubuntu looks like it has more direct support to offer) [11:47] guys one problem. i have this folder that contains some files and other folders... i applied chmod and changed the permission for folders but not also for files. how can i grant persmission to all users from the terminal ? [11:48] Of course you can [11:48] When I switched on my Lucid computer this morning it reported: "fsck: T43root had been mounted 51 times without check. Check enforced." The result fo the check on the screen has been overwritten. Where can I find the result of this fsck check in some log file? [11:48] ionut: chmod -R [11:48] Aethelrick: Well I guess everyone so far seems to concur, so I think I will download it [11:48] howoriginalAU: linux Mint is based on ubuntu, so everything what's capable for ubuntu, will be also capable for Mint too [11:48] Anyway, I should stop talking about this and detracting from people with actual problems haha [11:49] devcorkvince: what -R stands for ? [11:49] bullgard4: /var/log/fsck [11:49] Recursive [11:49] hey guys, upon booting i get randomly disconnected and reconnected for 15 mins, then i stay connected to my wifi, help plz [11:49] hello all [11:49] ionut: recursive\ [11:49] iqpi: Oh is that so? Does that mean everything will be the same in terms of commands etc (or something?) [11:49] devcorkvince: but what does this command do ? [11:49] ionut: eg. chmod 755 -R /dir [11:50] howoriginalAU: that is [11:50] hi poeple.. short question: any idea, when chromium 9 will be in the ubuntu repositories? [11:50] bonjoyee: /var/log/fsck does not exist. [11:50] ionut: it will apply the permission on the dir and all the content inside it [11:50] howlymowly, a few days after chrome 9 stable came out [11:50] Well thank you all for helping me make my decision - perhaps I should document the transition hahaha [11:50] devcorkvince: good , thanks [11:50] kk multiplatinum thx.. [11:50] When it's packaged [11:50] perhaps the only change wil be the repositories name, the other things, always the same [11:50] bullgard4: its a folder..checked inside it? [11:51] ionut: no prob [11:51] shit, i am running out of battery [11:51] haha [11:51] ionut, you can also use a combination of find and chmod if you want a little more precision e.g. find -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; or find -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; for instance (change the find part to suit your needs) [11:52] iqpi, I think you meant to say "Caca... I am running out of battery" << family friendly [11:52] yuvateja: system >> preferences >> sound [11:52] bonjoyee: bullgard4 the results are lost since the change to upstart ....

[11:53] Okay - the same friend who just referred me also said that I should ask whether or not I should download something called LTS or the non-LTS version (sorry I don't really know what he means) [11:53] bullgard4: well that was the best place to look into... [11:53] !lts | howoriginalAU [11:53] howoriginalAU: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [11:53] howoriginalAU, LTS = long term support [11:53] that happens when you trust on your 10.5 h battery-life-capable-netbook and you use it without charging it for 9 hours xDDD [11:54] Aethelrick: good point . that was what i wanted to do.i applied chmod 777 [11:54] Oh right, so that seems to be what I want since I hate reinstalling [11:54] howoriginalAU, use long term support release if you value stability over newness [11:54] then yes howoriginalAU [11:54] howoriginalAU: Regular cycles are six months apart. [11:55] iqpi: actually its ubuntu....it makes people forget more important things in life!;) [11:55] Decisions decisions, haha - you'll have to forgive a Windows user for being out of his comfort zone..... [11:55] sorry bonjoyee i haven't undertand that, english is not my native language [11:56] iqpi: not mine either:-D [11:56] howoriginalAU: you could try a rolling release distro [11:57] howoriginalAU: you can download the live cd and try it before you commit [11:57] erUSUL, bonjoyee: I added a comment to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/513644. -- Thank you again. [11:57] bonjoyee: then i guess you wanted to say that they are more worried in programs versions than in use them? [11:58] howoriginalAU: also, you will be automatically notified when the next LTS is out [11:58] milamber: Oh I see, so I can just update to it when it comes out? [11:58] ddsfsdf\ [11:58] Can anyone help me with a very irritating font problem? I installed the kubuntu-desktop package on a whim and upon my deleting it my fonts in Chrome and FF have been totally messed up. I have no idea what it's using but it's very ugly and not at all how it used to be. [11:58] howoriginalAU, yup indeedy, upgrading to next release is basically a click... [11:58] howoriginalAU: yes you can, but i don't advise you to do it [11:58] anybody here? [11:59] Yes [11:59] howoriginalAU: yes. you can set the option to upgrade to each new release or just the lts releases. it is always recommended to back up your data though :) [11:59] 1450 people [11:59] anybody know how i would get back to the original gnome font configuration after kde had its way with me? [11:59] replicasex: in the kde control panel you can manage fonts [11:59] iqpi, I've already deleted kde. [12:00] then purge it [12:00] This is a post-deletion issue. It's had its way with my fonts and gone and left me. [12:00] sudo apt-get -purge kde [12:00] purge [12:00] not -purge [12:00] iqpi, I thought I did, there doesn't seem to be anything left. [12:00] How many people is chinese [12:00] Haha a couple of conflicting opinions - milamber I maintain what I hope is a thorough backup system (which touch wood will continue to work). Aethelrick - seems like it's an easy process, but do things often go wrong (or is it just a precaution to ensure my files are all safe) [12:01] iqpi, doing that removed a few things but the fonts are still very, shall we say, painful. [12:01] zhangqi: 1.2*10^9 [12:01] perhaps if you reinstall kde you could manage fonts from there [12:01] I'm just looking at rolling releases someone suggested earlier (thanks wikipedia) [12:01] in a guest account for example everything looks fine [12:02] It looks quite tempting to constantly upgrade without a reinstall [12:02] I'm guessing Ubuntu doesn't have this feature though [12:02] replicasex: Try this. "killall firefox ; mv ~/.fonts.conf ~/.fonts.conf.bak" [12:02] 一二三四五六七八 [12:02] i'm not using firefox.

Is there no file I can delete and regenerate to get out the clutter? [12:04] Oh right [12:04] zhangqi: put like this ---/join #ubuntu-cn but without ---- [12:05] I'm thinking it's probably best if I just start with the newest edition of Ubuntu and then learn from there, all of this is a bit overwhelming so far heh [12:05] 10.10 [12:05] I put in a new disk in my pc (already had one in there) and just formatted it as ext4. It's not showing up anywhere. I figured I needed to mount it, but when I do mount /dev/sdb1 (got the name from fdisk -l), I get an error. Am I doing it wrong? :p [12:05] howoriginalAU: i have had pretty good success with updates. but as was stated. proper backups are always important [12:06] JeroenDeDauw: what error? you'll need root permissions, and to make it permanent add a line to /etc/fstab === marta is now known as Guest17739 [12:06] JeroenDeDauw: you have to mount in a mount point. For example, create a folder called: [12:06] Jordan_U: second-disk [12:07] in you home [12:07] then execute : sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /home/your-user/second-disk [12:07] hello [12:07] and you will have your disk available from second-disk folder [12:08] I want to use hostwappable sata in server. How I make it automounted like usb-keys in desktop ? [12:08] milamber: well I always remember to do backups whenever I do anything important, so I think you might have sold me on Ubuntu (along with all the other comments from all these other helpful people :) ) [12:09] Oops [12:10] Well as much as I like playing games on Windows, I think I might give them away to pave way for productivity [12:10] Thanks for the help guys, I guess I'll try and get on here again after the install [12:10] howoriginalAU: if when you download the !livecd make sure to follow the instructions closely, check the sums, and burn slowly. [12:10] what do you think of Unity ? [12:10] you could try nexuiz on linux, you will get addict xDD [12:11] howoriginalAU: there is always the !dualboot option [12:11] howoriginalAU: depending on which games you play, you might find there are Linux native ports, or they work just fine in Wine ;-) [12:11] milamber: thanks for the tips, ubuntu looks it has some good instructions on the websites [12:11] howoriginalAU: I like HL2, works perfectly in wine [12:11] howoriginalAU: the framerate is a bit slow and the rendering is a bit buggy in places but I blame my eldery Geforce 7300 for that ;-) [12:11] *elderly [12:12] gordonjcp: well the problem is not so much the individual games as a whole, it's also part of a personal project to give up video games - but we'll see how well I go. I have HL2 so if I falter I might put that on there. I also read that Amnesia was actually a Linux native game before it became available for Windows, so that might be worth getting [12:12] Anyway, I'll be back soon I hope! [12:12] howoriginalAU: if you *really* want to be sure, go and buy a new hard disk and do a totally clean install [12:12] if you play idsoftware games, there are original native support forr linux [12:12] hard disks are cheap [12:12] iqpi, apparently renaming .fonts.conf was all I needed to do. [12:13] afternoon all, from the to time my laptop screen when I am rotating my deskop cube will freeze and I cant even switch to a lower run level, its in that state currently and I am SSH'd into it, the i915_error_state says no state collected and Xorg.0.log doesn't say anything odd. What else can I look at to debug it? I am runing ubuntu 10.04.2 with xorg-edgers ppa installed mesa 7.11-devel [12:13] that was so easy that i did not thought about it. Congratulations for show us (at least to me) new information :D [12:13] gordonjcp: unfortunately being recently unemployed has left me with no money at all haha, so I guess I'll have to do a good format or something [12:13] I'm assuming that option is available in the install [12:14] !livecd | howoriginalAU [12:14] howoriginalAU: The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive.

Thanks everyone [12:16] np =) [12:16] bye howoriginalAU [12:17] Hi, i have a list of bad blocks fetched from badblocks. How can i use fsck to repair the specified blocks and add them to the bad list in the hdd? [12:18] How can i make the powertop suggestions permanent? :) [12:19] fooz: i don't know if with fsck you could do that, read the man page, try also with hdparm [12:19] i would like to help you, but i have run out of battery [12:19] just one minute left [12:20] Hey, I have another question. Is ATI Radeon 2100 supported in the latest Ubuntu Disto? [12:20] iqpi: ok i understand :) well i have read that it would be possible with the -t switch and ntfs "fsck -t ntfs" [12:21] well guys, 0% left, perhaps i have just few second to say you, good bye guys [12:21] Probably is [12:21] Hey guys, I need some help :'( I have a USB dongle that wont connect to my router.

[12:32] sacarlson: i can see the ntfs partition, but the install wizard dont cath It, so no option to resize [12:32] sacarlson: i just thought in 7 used the same bootloader as vista [12:33] rams: Slideshow? Applications --> Office --> OpenOffice (Impress). [12:33] !flash [12:33] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [12:33] landingonwater: I'm not sure what the install wizard is but mabe try gparted or other partition tool to resize to provide at least 10 gb free partition for ubuntu side install [12:33] I have geforce 425 m video card and I have hdmi video working on my tv ,but no sound. Is there any fix to this ? [12:34] red2kic, not slide show, making micromedia flash presentaions [12:34] sacarlson: but what about grub then ? will it break the win 7 boot ? [12:34] tarelerulz, did you select the hdmi output as your sound device? [12:34] rams, from open office or libre office expoert it to flash .sfw [12:35] landingonwater: your asking the wrong guy for that, I run all windows in virtualbox, but from word of mouth it should be not a big problem === DIFH-iceroot is now known as iceroot [12:35] can I increase the dmesg buffer as a boot parameter?

It is NOT the standard x100e network card in this laptop, lspci reports the following: "03:00.0 Network Controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 0576 (rev 01). Can you help me? [12:36] Digitalfiz , I don't have the gnome sound app . The ALSA mixer don't show any setting for the hd sound at all. [12:36] AbhijiT, that worked:-). thank you [12:36] sacarlson: thanks. well.. not my machine actualy. so i dont want to mess it up. on my on own laptop 10.10 runs like a dream. haha.. it just cant see the broadcomcard :D that sucks.

[12:37] ubottu: it is not the 43 [12:37] Loller: did you enable restricted drivers? [12:37] HP Pavilion tx1000 is the most flawed laptop ever. im the lucky owner [12:37] Hi, nautilius is acting kind of wierd, it seems to have become the default program for opening just about everything when for example xdg-open or when chrome tries to open it. Nautilus then says "Location is Not a Folder" [12:37] Loller, no you get the broadcom-sta driver [12:37] Is there a way to make it open the file as though it where double clicked?. [12:37] landingonwater: in those cases like my scanner that can't run in linux i just do it in virtualbox [12:37] Im using ubuntu 10.10 btw [12:38] AbhijiT: You do see .sfw? I don't. :( [12:38] I installed the restricted driver offered by Ubuntu it game me a black screen . I had install the nvidia drivers from there site [12:38] psycho_oreos: you mean broadcom-sta-common? or should i compile myself? [12:38] ubottu: thanks for the link :) totally confusing. people have posted 20 ways of fixing the broadcom issue, so chance is that one gte it even more messed up [12:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:38] Loller, probably wouldn't recommend compiling unless you know what you are doing. Normally that can be enabled through something like jockey [12:39] doohan: if you double-click it uses gnome-open, xdg-open is different; use 'alternatives' to configure, or install 'galternatives' for a gui, don't know why it would use nautilus for everything [12:39] AbhijiT: Ah. Found it. [12:39] landingonwater: that would also include a broadcom device if I couldn't get it to work with ndiswrapper [12:39] red2kic, :) [12:39] sacarlson: hmm.. i must look into that. would be nice if any ugly surprices shoud turn up [12:39] landingonwater, the problem is broadcom :) there's like 3 native drivers 1 broadcom-sta and the other is ndiswrapper, go figure [12:39] Hi [12:39] psycho_oreos: it doesnt say that 0576 model is supported for the broadcom-sta driver [12:40] psycho_oreos: what a nightmare. thanks Broadcom. [12:40] Loller, what does lspci -nnk say for that exact same line? [12:40] hi [12:40] I was just wondering. Do you guys now if there is an iPad-like that can run Ubuntu Netbook Remix ? [12:40] psycho_oreos: I'm not sure bradcom usb has anything that will work in linux last I looked [12:40] can someone explain me what is "certificate authority" and why u need for set up of l2tp vpn server. im tyrying to understand concepts inside a tutorial but it doesnt explain [12:40] landingonwater, hopefully over time they will clear it up [12:41] fresh install of kubuntu 10.10 into a virtualbox on linux, apt-get segfaults everyimt time -- can anyone help? [12:41] sacarlson, bcm4320 (non 802.11n capable) is supported via rndis_wlan according to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/rndis_wlan [12:41] psycho_oreos: "03:00.0 Network Controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:0576] (rev 01)" [12:41] Ooops... It's Ubuntu Netbook now I think... no "Remix" anymore [12:41] azizLIGHTS, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority [12:41] psycho_oreos: well.. i think its a problem that the broadcom issue is just too must to handle for a noob. some chick changing from windows to ubuntu dont stand a chance. [12:41] azizLIGHTS: a certification authority is a company that issues cryptographic certificates like the ones used in https ( ssl ) websites [12:41] psycho_oreos: is that native linux or just another ndiswrapper like thing? [12:41] not that chicks cant be geeks. sorry [12:42] Loller, lol well broadcom-sta won't work I guess the next choice is pretty much ndiswrapper and hope [12:42] azizLIGHTS: it is possible to create personal certificates afaik; deending on what you are doing it may be enough [12:42] i dont understand all this on the wikipedia page. i have no idea what i means? [12:42] landingonwater, it was lot worse before when broadcom only decided to release the binary blob which was cumbersome [12:43] ubottu: can you drop me that link again ? im in irssi, and dont kno ho to scroll back [12:43] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:43] azizLIGHTS: http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/certificates.txt [12:43] psycho_oreos: thanks. I have tried ndiswrapper before but it was buggy and i dont even remember if it worked at all [12:43] sacarlson, I'm not quite sure but I do believe its native, integrated as part of kernel.. under mac80211 framework [12:43] any idea where the GUI network-manager store its configuration? [12:43] How do i make a collection of images my wallpaper ? [12:43] rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin did the trick [12:44] psycho_oreos: why doesnt broadcom make drivers for all of their card -.- [12:44] Loller, guess you don't have much of a choice :) there's no native drivers that would support it (as they only support a handful altogether). The broadcom-sta was meant to cover a wide range but fails to work with yours. ndiswrapper is the last choice, doesn't work well with 64bit and now as you says fails. *shrugs* ideal to move onto another brand of laptop I'd say :) [12:44] psycho_oreos: I just read your link, maybe it's just not enabled in ubuntu for license problems, next time I see someone else with a bcm usb I'll try it [12:44] kamalesh1, edit them in gimp & make single fuile and then use it! [12:44] Loller, they do, but only for windows, they treated linux like a minority [12:45] psycho_oreos: ell. even ith the broadcom working, HP tx1000 is still a dissaster. [12:45] azizLIGHTS: http://www.natecarlson.com/2006/07/10/configuring-an-ipsec-tunnel-with-openswan-and-l2tpd/ [12:45] sacarlson, interesting even though it seems to be part of the kernel [12:45] i heard that broadcom joins linux ? [12:45] AbhijiT: What ? I guess you didnt understand what i meant, images will change periodicallu [12:45] psycho_oreos: ok, thanks for your help anyway :) [12:45] AbhijiT: *periodically [12:45] kamalesh1, ohh then use desktop drapes [12:45] landingonwater, it's going to be even more hell if broadcom doesn't clear up their own mess quickly. It was ideally the choice for one to avoid buying broadcom wireless equipped devices [12:46] psycho_oreos: you make a bad doctor. who wants bad news :D [12:46] erUSUL: yes thats the link im on, it doesnt explain anything in conceptual ways i havenoi diea what he talking bout [12:46] AbhijiT: I can set a collection, which is available by default, I'm using ubuntu 10.10 . So i think i dont have to install any extra apps [12:46] landingonwater, well at least I'm being frank [12:46] Loller, nw [12:46] kamalesh1, install a software called desktop drapes [12:46] psycho_oreos: frank in Chicago and Ernest in New York :D [12:47] erUSUL: like practically speaking, what all that stuff means [12:47] psycho_oreos: I'm not sure ubuntu rules and kernel rules are the same, but if it's true I should find that drive in my kenel since it's 2.6.32-21-generic is should already be in there [12:47] landingonwater, no frank as in putting things bluntly :p [12:47] AbhijiT: dude, it's already there by default, i'm using Ubuntu 10.10 . I just need to know how to add new sets [12:47] psycho_oreos: i agree. broadcom should lighten up. more *nix units will be sold. [12:48] :/ [12:48] landingonwater, they are, but they are quite slow at it.. brcm80211 is the new driver by them with open source but it supports like 3 chipsets and isn't guaranteed to work well [12:48] AbhijiT: Are you using ubuntu 10.10 ? [12:48] no [12:48] AbhijiT: ah Ok then :) [12:48] hmm [12:48] sacarlson, interesting, it might not even be set to be compiled as a module I suppose [12:49] azizLIGHTS: well; from very high level --> the certification authority ensures that all the keys you are using ( by signing them etc ) are the keys they are supposed to be to avoid attacks. [12:49] how can I run a command in ubuntu using something similar to -threads 0? [12:52] landingonwater, the other thing I want to also add is that with some laptop manufacturers, you can swap out the internal wireless card. However there's 5 manufacturers that I know of whom wants to control their consumers by whitelisting the minipci/minipcie wireless cards to be inserted into their device bays [12:52] Antonis, I don't understand your example. Please tell me what you want to have happen and I'll try to help :) [12:53] Aethelrick, when I encode something with ffmpeg I use -threads 0 to get all cores working [12:53] is there something similar when running a command like make [12:53] or make install? [12:54] no [12:54] ok :P [12:56] My 10.04 LTS 64 server, which uses an encrypted lvm file-system, experienced an error and switched to a read-only file system about an hour ago. I backed up all the important files and rebooted the machine. After entering the keyphrase, fsck reports an error, demans a manual run, but does not spawn a shell. What can I do to get a shell? [12:57] Antonis, I understand your question now :) you may want to try make -j [12:57] ah nice! thanks =) [12:57] Antonis, http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Parallel [12:57] is this in general or do I have to check if a specific app supports it? [12:58] ok so what does it mean when I try and boot but I get 'No init found. Try passing init= bootarg' I tries to add a boot option 'log_buf_len' but now have reverted it and still no init found === vincent is now known as Guest18398 [12:59] Wipster: either your grub.conf is wrong about what the root partition or the root partition is busted ( fs corruption ) and the init binary is gone ) [13:00] Wipster: did you did partitioning in the disk? shirink partitions; create new ones or something ? [13:00] mwally: can you get a virtual console? [13:00] Antonis, linux will make use of all your cores provided the applications you're running are multi-threaded. Single threaded applications will only use one core. You can run lots of single threaded applications on multiple cores though... [13:00] bc81, no [13:00] can anyone explain the difference between /etc/init.d and upstart? [13:01] Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) [13:01] bc81, let me take a photo [13:01] did this recently change in ubuntu? [13:01] erUSUL, didn't try to repartition... well thats grand heh livecd time I guess see if I can recover [13:01] codemagician, the idea is upstart is an "event based" replacement for init.d [13:01] Antonis: for make there is make -jn where n is the number of jobs you wat to simultanously. [13:02] Aethelrick, who decided to change it? [13:02] Wipster: good luck check partitions with gparted... [13:02] HellO everybody can anybody help me install mypaint on ubuntu 10.04 lucid [13:02] codemagician, lol...

For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [13:04] sacarlson, I understand. So, do I have to relearn this and stop using /etc/init.d ? [13:04] codemagician: the end rusult will boot faster without waiting for some things you don't need [13:04] Hello again everyone :) [13:05] sacarlson, my machine has a SSD and boots in 7.5 seconds [13:05] not again! [13:05] codemagician, upstart has been creeping around for years, it still uses sysvinit scripts if you like [13:05] sacarlson, and now I have to spend two hours learning something new instead of working [13:05] sacarlson, will using /etc/init.d conflict if I mix and match? [13:05] I ended up installing it via USB stick since I quickly discovered I didn't have any CDs to burn....haha [13:05] codemagician: no at this time they both run, some day we will all move to upstart, but now you can setup on eather side [13:05] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [13:05] codemagician, you don't have to panic, or change how you work [13:06] Aethelrick, okay. So will debian use this too... or will I need to remember the /etc/init.d way of starting processes? [13:06] codemagician: I think most upstarts still have scripts in /etc/init.d [13:07] codemagician, the /etc/init.d way is supported BY UPSTART although it also introduces a new way of working. You can use either way [13:07] when i try instal mypaint this is the error i get E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[13:07] bc81, http://i.imgur.com/8wAnO.jpg [13:08] Looks like everyone I was talking to before has gone :( Oh well [13:08] whitemamba: do you also have synaptic open? [13:08] i have closed it [13:08] codemagician: for my own private apps I use cron to start them, as far as I know @reboot will continue to be supported [13:09] codemagician, fedora have adopted it, it's in openSuSE 11.3, Maemo uses it, ChomeOS uses it [13:09] bc81> no its closed [13:09] codemagician, I think Debian is pondering it as well [13:09] Aethelrick, yeah says optional on debian [13:10] Have I installed something wrong? I just put a DVD in and Movie player says it cannot read from resource [13:10] mwally: wow, that doesn't look too good..so it's stuck at that point?

[13:12] howoriginalAU, hey, I just noticed you're back, how'd the install go? [13:12] Hi, i'm trying to 'make' the driver of a new PCIe <=> RS232 card but have a list of errors : [13:12] Driiper: socks5 is quite a dead technology now, there is a socks 5 server actually called "socks 5" that has always been very solid when I've used it [13:12] Hi Aethelrick, yeah it went really well - I ended up having to use a USB stick because I didn't have any CDs (haha) but it went quite quickly and I'm just downloading some updates it popped up [13:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/562518/ [13:13] It's encrypted [13:13] which technology would you prefer if you want to for example go through a school firewall then if not socks :) [13:13] howoriginalAU, good to hear :) [13:13] Hello! [13:13] Driiper: I'd ask your school to resolve your connectivity [13:13] does ubuntu ltsp server need to be a dhcp server? and assuming it does, can i tell my existing dhcp to somehow redirect the pxe booting from a separate machine? [13:13] my dhcp server isn't the one that i want to use as a ltsp server [13:14] Viliny: two dhcp servers on the same network isn't good [13:14] i realize that [13:14] Aethelrick, yeah I'm just figuring what out what I'm going to do now - I guess I'll put all of the stuff I backed up back onto the main hard drive while it's updating. I was going to download the restricted formats some kind person linked me to before so I can play DVDs, but apparently I can't do it while it's downloading updates (I guess there's probably a good reason for that) [13:14] rtgenera@artgenera-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install mypaint [sudo] password for artgenera: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [13:14] ikonia: Thank you :) [13:14] what im wondering is: can i make the old dhcp server tell the client "hey man, go HERE for a pxe boot!" [13:14] can anyone help me install mypaint [13:15] try with synaptics maybe ? [13:15] Viliny: depnds on the dhcp server you're running, you can point to pxe servers you want [13:15] ikonia, it's a ubuntu box as well === mopo_ is now known as mopo [13:16] Viliny: ok, so you can assign ranges and mac addresses and point them at a pxe server of your choice [13:16] mwally: hmm... maybe boot a livecd, run sudo fsck -p [13:16] ok, good. how? :) [13:16] Viliny: look at dhcp pool configuration options in the documentation [13:16] Other than that it seems to be quite easy to use Aethelrick, I'm still getting used to the fact that I barely have to install anything. It kinda looks like a Mac, actually with the background and all [13:16] howoriginalAU, yup, updates and installs are "atomic" because ubuntu keeps track of what you've got installed and the versions. So changing what is installed or doing an update needs to update this info and too many chefs could spoil the broth (so to speak) [13:17] thanks ikonia [13:17] Ah I thought that might have been the case - too much at once accessing the same stuff [13:17] where can i get more alarm sounds for alarm application in gnome? [13:17] Viliny: one of the tricks is to refernce a filename, eg: pxeimage01 but make sure that only one pxe server is holding that image [13:17] howoriginalAU, the mac-like appearance is no coincidence, it was actively copied in many ways :) [13:18] bc81, can I do that normal, or do I need to do something special because of the crypto? [13:18] Aethelrick, oh really? Well I guess they wanted it to be intuitive to PC and Mac users [13:19] Viliny: I've just got one of my systems to be a pxeboot server, I disable my adsl box from being the dhcp server so I can setup from my ubuntu box [13:19] sacarlson, cool [13:19] i have a ubuntu server for a wide range of stuff [13:19] Hi [13:19] mwally: ooh, i'm not sure, sorry. this is way over my head, so all i can do is wish you luck :-( [13:20] hi im having a bit issues with xonar dx 7.1 soundcards and ubuntu 10.10 (same issue on kubuntu): when i set the volume with the applets i get soundlags. i think this is the kernels fault because with fedora or any other distro it doesnt happen. it had a lot longer lags with 10.04 === Alcapun is now known as dreamtraveler [13:20] bc81, re-install it is :) (Thank God I made that backup before the reboot) [13:20] Viliny: but it's presenly only setup as a installer , I had it used as persistant pxeboot but didn't continue [13:20] i set up a virtual machine on my powerfull desktop to act as a pxe host but im starting to think that the implications of setting it up that way and having it show up for the network in an easy manner is too much hassle so im just installing the ltsp on my actual server to try it out [13:20] im using an nvidia graphicscard so i wonder if its recommend to install the mainline kernel [13:20] mwally: see http://iquaid.org/2008/03/04/running-fsck-on-a-luks-encrypted-partition-in-lvm/ [13:20] i need the proprietary driver to work [13:21] When i start my computer and log into my user account it immediately asks me to enter my keyring password, How do i find out what application is asking for it? [13:22] At first i only needed to enter the keyring password when i tried to do something that needed it, Like connecting to my WiFi network, But now it's asks for the password as soon as i log in [13:22] what ppa should I add to install nvidia beta 270 driver under natty alpha 2? === smallfoot- is now known as smallfoot [13:23] using lftp, why do I get this message: mget: Access failed: 521 Data connection cannot be opened with this security level. [13:25] Should i be worried that i have a virus or spyware or something? [13:25] MadCarburetor: yeah the same happens for me too! [13:26] is there a way to make a apt-mirror @ windows server? [13:26] mwally: a bit old, but also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4524774&postcount=9 [13:26] so somebody, my system is asking for password to unlock keyring, everytime i login, wht should i doto avoid this? [13:27] Viliny: I had all my old server operations on a second low power 256meg ram system for years but it died now it all runs on my desktop 10.04 system, it did all that stuf, dhcp, route, apache, pxeboot, vpn, torrents after hours [13:27] obscurant1st, it's weird, i wan't to know what app that i installed is asking for my password [13:27] i think its something like key management app! [13:28] which stores our passwds! i amy be wrong also! [13:28] there is something like kde-wallet in kde also! [13:28] It should be something that i installed, I don't mess with settings and stuff much so i'm sure it's the OS thats asking for the password [13:29] obscurant1st: delete the keyring and don't set a keyring password [13:29] gordonjcp: how can i do that? [13:30] MadCarburetor, obscurant1st : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9048669&postcount=4 [13:30] bc81, I'm going to try that last one. Failing that, I will replace the hardware with a new-in-box server of the same model, and restore from my latest (~2 hr ago) backup. Thank you for your help. [13:30] using lftp, why do I get this message: mget: Access failed: 521 Data connection cannot be opened with this security level. [13:30] mwally, ok then. good luck!! [13:31] I don't really mind typing the password everytime i log on, i just want to find out what's causing it to ask for it [13:32] bc81: ok after reading that, i think i am choosing to type the password everytime! [13:32] thanks for the link btw! [13:33] I have a 3G mobile that network manager doesn't recognise - I can dial out with pppd, but only up to 380k, (ie GSM) - any idea how to get 3G speeds? [13:33] Aethelrick, want the only reason to write upstart to do with boot time? [13:34] frogzoo: gprs would be like 20k for me, 380k sounds good [13:35] codemagician, no, not as I understand it... though that was one reason. it's a lot more flexible as it can load stuff in response to events like maybe plugging in an external drive or similar, whereas sysvinit cannot [13:35] heh [13:35] Cześć [13:36] I've just tried recordmydesktop and it's unusable :( are there any others that work? [13:36] Mówicie po polsku ? [13:36] paradigmflow: what problem are you having with recordmydesktop? [13:36] very laggy [13:37] !pl | deweloper [13:37] deweloper: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. [13:37] paradigmflow: my works fine...what computer do you have? CPU? RAM? [13:37] Ale ja nie umiem angielskiego [13:37] paradigmflow: I've used recordmydesktop, worked ok just the sound wasn't perfectly synced [13:37] I have an acer 8920g [13:38] 3 gigs ram intel duo @ 2ghz [13:38] paradigmflow: I think it might be dependent on the video drivers [13:38] Upgraded RAM from 8GB to 16GB, also upgraded SWAP from 8GB to 40GB (shouldn't matter), but now SUSPEND to RAM doesn't want to work, please any ideas? [13:38] paradigmflow: ya...that too [13:39] radeon 3850 500meg card [13:39] paradigmflow: there's Istanbul Desktop Session Recorder...but gtk-recordmydesktop is the preferred one [13:39] on the windows box camtasia runs smooth as silk, weird. [13:40] paradigmflow: radeon is that ATI video card? that might be the problem, I use nvidia [13:40] appleseed: how exactly did you upgrade swap from 8 GB to 40 GB? is it one continuous partition? [13:40] Ah, just had a brainwave, may be that USB3 is still enabled in BIOS, will check it out and come back to ya. [13:40] yer [13:40] ati [13:40] rigved: have another drive, added swap partition, and moved in fstab [13:41] paradigmflow: do you use the open source ATI drivers? [13:41] paradigmflow: maybe try it in the vesa graphic mode without fancy eyecandy software it might still work [13:42] well, im new to ubuntu, so clicked on an icon at the top menu and I had to 'activate' the driver? [13:42] don't think it's open source [13:42] looks like the proprietory one [13:43] wasn't aware that there was an open source one to be honest [13:43] paradigmflow: ok. so that's the proprietary one [13:43] paradigmflow: well if you activated something you might try disable the propriatary in the same maner as activating and see if it changes anything [13:43] paradigmflow: try sacarlson's suggestion... [13:44] Only the binary driver gives decent 3d support for ATi, the FOSS driver lacks in that or support is still partial, mostly or WIP, but then again has a very very good 2d acceralation. [13:44] right, I understood some of that :$ === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [13:46] paradigmflow: in the top menu, click on System > Preferences > Appearance. Then click on the Visual Effects tab on the window that opens up. Select None. Close. [13:46] ok done that [13:47] don't know how to disable the driver [13:47] paradigmflow: now try recording [13:47] ok [13:47] brb [13:47] How do I configure a 10.04.2 LTS 32 bit notebook (2.6.32-28) to support photo transfer from a Samsung SCH-U640 Qualcomm 05c6:1000 mobile phone via USB? [13:48] hello all [13:49] billmania: I'm sure you must have tried but I would expect it would act as a usb disk and plug and play when you pluged it in [13:49] what would be the power use of an server , how much would it normally consume ? [13:49] dell poweredge 1850 [13:49] sacarlson: Yes, tried that. lsusb lists the phone but it's not mounted as a filesystem and also not recognized as a modem. [13:50] anyone knows what is the new variable which replaces tty in the struct uart_state (serial_core.h) since 2.6.32 ?? Can't finish converting the driver because of that :( [13:50] billmania: does your phone provide an option to select Mass Storage mode when connected via USB? [13:50] using lftp, why do I get this message: mget: Access failed: 521 Data connection cannot be opened with this security level. [13:50] billmania: well in this case you don't need a modem, sudo lshw not show the device have a driver? [13:51] blah [13:51] Cain, i know your ip! [13:51] rigved: Yes, I've configured the phone to act in "media transfer" mode. [13:51] sacarlson: Correct, no driver is loaded for the phone. It does work on a MS-Windows notebook, so I'm fairly confident the phone itself is functional. [13:52] right, that is a little better - but, I recorded the entire screen as the select area didn't seem to work? [13:52] It is a drag out and click, isn't it? [13:53] I've been reading about Qualcomm storing the actual Windows driver on the phone, and that "automatically transfer the driver to Windows" setup is what's bother ubuntu. [13:53] There's a bug listed which suggests adding a line to /etc/modules but that doesn't work for me. [13:53] bc81, those instructions for fsck-ing the encrypted lvm were PERFECT. I'm still going to provision a replacement server, but the important thing is that the current one is up and running, with 4 minutes to spare (until 9am ET). Your Google skills rock. Saved me some expensive downtime. [13:53] paradigmflow: use the Ubuntu Software center to download and install CompizConfig Settings Manager. enable desktop zoom. then you can zoom in on any area and record on that part [13:53] just missed him :] [13:54] what is this 'vesa' mode? [13:54] There's also mention of usb_modeswitch but that seems oriented toward putting the phone into modem mode, which is probably the mode I can't get OUT of. [13:54] what is that "ready when you are" crap when installing 10.10? installation seems to hang if i select a keyboard layout... [13:54] hey guys, whats significate etc, in linux filesystem? [13:55] !vesa | paradigmflow [13:55] paradigmflow: vesa is the default video driver if X can't find a better one. Also see !x [13:55] i can't see what is actually happening because the text window is outside of the screen. argh. [13:56] nT4BR: which linux file system [13:56] billmania: what about view of dmesg [13:56] hi guys. I've changed the nautilus gconf-editor setting in apps - nautilus - prefs:: use_location_entry = checked, however, I'm still showing the breadcrumbs crap in the folder window [13:56] quick question... is apt broken? [13:56] right, I see, will get that compizconfig manager, see how that goes, also would lowering the 32 bit colour down to 16 bit do better? [13:56] sacarlson: dmesg records that the device was physically connected, but does NOT mention a specific driver being loaded or a device file being created. [13:56] th_ : good for you !! [13:56] anyone running a kernel prior to 2.6.32 please ? [13:57] can someone help me make sure it shows the location window correctly [13:57] Phuzzy: are you getting an error message? [13:57] Cain, :D [13:57] http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security/multiverse fails to update with an integrity error [13:57] just trollin' [13:57] ;) [13:58] th_: please don't [13:58] can i ask dns related question ? [13:58] MrShmelo12: is it an ubuntu issue ? [13:58] anyone?? [13:58] Hey folks [13:58] paradigmflow: i don't know if lowering the colour depth will help... [13:58] webroasters: anyone what [13:59] can help me with my question [13:59] kinda its hotsed on ubuntu [13:59] plz?? [13:59] MrShmelo12: if it's an ubuntu issue we can help [13:59] billmania: well this phone worked back in 8.04, but I see people working it with tried adding the line usb-storage option_zero_cd=2 to /etc/modules as seen here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1145846.html but didn't work for all people [13:59] tis ok, I'm just sorting this compiz out, will see how that goes [13:59] i have domain and i dont know why apache cannot see it its dev.shutaf.im, how can i see where is the problem? [13:59] I've changed the nautilus gconf-editor setting in apps - nautilus - prefs:: use_location_entry = checked, however, I'm still showing the breadcrumbs crap in the folder window [13:59] im hosting on apache [13:59] Phuzzy: mine is up. try: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get check [13:59] sacarlson: Yup, that's the line I tried in my /etc/modules, but no joy. [13:59] webroasters: saying anyone is pointless, if someone knows the answer they will respond, if someone didn't see the question saying "anyone" won'tt help them to help you [14:00] @ikonia: I've changed the nautilus gconf-editor setting in apps - nautilus - prefs:: use_location_entry = checked, however, I'm still showing the breadcrumbs crap in the folder window [14:00] there, that's the question [14:00] MrShmelo12: does the hostname dev.shutaf.im respond if you query it from the apache server in question [14:00] nope... 99%, same error every time [14:00] also, this is a fresh install [14:00] sacarlson: I'm hesitant to upgrade this particular notebook to 10.10 just yet, because that upgrade broke GDM on my desktop. [14:01] i get the page cannot be displayed [14:01] hi, I want to create a bootable usb stick to install ubuntu 10.10 server (no cdrom). Can I just select the ubuntu 10.10 live64 to create a stick for server? Live actually is the desktop version... [14:01] MrShmelo12: that's not what I asked [14:01] MrShmelo12: from the apache server, can you resolve the full DNS name in question [14:01] billmania: no it worked before 8.04 or 8.10, later it stoped working at 9.10.... [14:01] Phuzzy: those commands shouldn't have given you a percentage. did it report any errors? [14:02] how i do that? [14:02] ok, I have a question. I'm running Kubuntu on a flash drive so I don't have to degrade myself by using windows. Is there a way I can create a new user profile on here, because the regular way doesn't seem to work... [14:02] MrShmelo12: have you ever hosted a website before ? [14:02] sacarlson: Understood. There are also some comments on some of the bugs stating that the phone works again with some 10.10 systems. [14:02] billmania: newer is not always better is what I am tring to say [14:02] yeah [14:02] sacarlson: I hear you loud and clear. [14:02] i ask with what tool i use [14:02] MrShmelo12: ok, so check the dns name resolves on the apache machine [14:02] sorry no those completed fine... "Reading package lists... Done [14:02] Building dependency tree [14:02] Reading state information... Done [14:02] " [14:02] Hence my reluctance to upgrade. [14:02] Phuzzy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:02] dig nslookup ping [14:02] billmania: ok I missed that link [14:02] Which package is needed in ubuntu to resolve domain names like google.com?

[14:04] Hi i'm trying to update a serial driver, but I run in the error : "struct uart_state has no member tty", I'm looking for an old version of the header to replace tty by the appropriate variable but I can't find one [14:04] MrShmelo12: does the fully qualified dns name respond on the apache web server [14:04] Hi there, i can't remove emacsen-common from my box. I installed emacs22 and it threw out errors on emacsen-common then i tried to run apt-get purge but it gets stuck at emacsen-common [14:04] billmania: don't blame you, I never upgrade till it's broken or there is some new software that no longer runs on mine without backports or is within 6 months of no longer being suported [14:04] thnx..ill give it a shot [14:04] any ideas? [14:05] MrShmelo12: can you resolve the fully qualified dns name on the apache machine [14:05] iuri: "gets stuck" is too vague.

[14:06] if i ping without cname , like shutaf.im its works other no response [14:06] jrib, http://pastebin.com/X4Xw7e5P [14:06] MrShmelo12: so then "no" the fully qualified dns name is not setup [14:07] elnur: ya...i was going to ask you check your connection next by typing the IP of the google server [14:07] erUSUL, got 2 nameserver entries. i've found that i'm not connected to a network. that's the problem [14:07] MrShmelo12: you need to resolve your dns configuration for dev.shutaf.im [14:07] elnur: ok [14:07] rigved, erUSUL, ifconfig shows lo interface only.

It's a Ralink 3070 chip, and it can SEE the wireless connection, but it wont connect to it, even though my other card (the one I am speaking to you now on) connects instantly. I have googled and tried everything, to no avail. Any suggestions?? [14:16] keypad? [14:16] rigved, there is no such package dhclient [14:16] iuri: I thought that it would be just this package and then you could just delete those files and apt would fetch them again, but now we need to figure out what is going on [14:16] Gwar_Trolle: try updateing wifi drivers « sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(lsb_release -cs)-generic » [14:16] jrib, there is one .list take a look [14:16] http://pastebin.com/D54EhW1m [14:17] ubuntu 10.04 Long Time Support. Now i get what does it stands for: "You must wait Long TIme to get Support". yeah, way to go. [14:17] iuri: what did you find that was empty? [14:17] this is the bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptdaemon/+bug/710157 [14:17] rigved, maybe I need network-manager? [14:17] Bushman: lol [14:17] Bushman: nice one :D [14:17] lol [14:17] these files except for .list [14:17] http://pastebin.com/JBUjX4Yq [14:17] DexterLB: please stop fueling [14:18] ikonia: feel better? [14:18] jrib, all these files except for .list http://pastebin.com/JBUjX4Yq [14:18] leftist: it's not a bug, it's a stupid package most likely. You can edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/fax2850lpr.postrm and make smart comments. If you aren't sure what to do, pastebin that file [14:18] ikonia: ok I'm shutting up [14:18] Bushman: drop it, ask/wait for support, or don't participate [14:18] iuri: right, but are there any files not about emacs-common that exhibit this zero-size property? [14:18] thanks jrib [14:18] ikonia: read the back log! i've asked many times! [14:18] Phuzzy: sudo apt-get clean all && sudo apt-get autoremove [14:18] i wait weeks now [14:18] Bushman: so wait [14:19] how long? [14:19] Bushman: it's a public support channel, no-one has to help, but people will if they know the answer and have time [14:19] !info dhclient | elnur [14:19] elnur: Package dhclient does not exist in maverick [14:19] Is there a minimal Ubuntu ISO? [14:19] till i get tired and migrate to other distro? [14:19] elnur, yes 20 mb iso [14:19] jrib, no [14:19] elnur: hmmm...it's not present in 10.10 [14:19] elnur: yes ther is [14:19] erUSUL: I tried that already, no sucess [14:19] Bushman, if someone knows they will answer [14:19] jrib, other files have content [14:19] Bushman: you're welcome to try a different distro if you feel it will work better, that can be a good option [14:19] -_-' [14:19] Phuzzy: I guess no one is supporting cvs? maybe because git is better and you can import to git http://maymay.net/blog/2008/04/15/how-to-import-cvs-code-repositories-into-git-using-git-cvsimport/ [14:19] Gwar_Trolle: you have to reboot after installing... [14:20] bazhang, the_german, thx. then google ftw [14:20] yeah, i tried it before I mean. [14:20] Didn't help [14:20] !minimal | elnur [14:20] elnur: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:20] elnur: but i have dhclient installed. it even has a manual entry [14:20] if there was a ready answer for my problem i would find it on the forums or google long time ago [14:20] Exactly. [14:20] rigved, strangely, i can't find it [14:20] So shut up and wait. [14:20] it's a NEW PROBLEM and there is no aswer yet [14:20] jrib, for example this one http://pastebin.com/HsgwAqZc [14:20] iuri: ok, then just delete the zeroed-out emacs-common files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/. I'm actually not sure if apt will try to fetch them again when you try to remove (if not, then reinstall the package first) [14:20] Bushman, asking every few seconds won't get better/faster support [14:20] bazhang, aha, thx [14:20] anonboots: that's uncalled for [14:21] anonboots: don't be rude [14:21] Bushman: yes, it's new, so no-one knows the answer [14:21] sacarlson: unfortunately we specifically require cvs...and will continue to do so until reviewd. This is slightly troubling for me as i did this exact installation not 2 months ago without a hitch [14:21] bazhang: i was asking twice a day [14:21] morning and evening [14:21] Bushman: that doesn't mean someone knows the answer [14:21] Bushman: have you confirmed if the hardware is compatible with Linux ? [14:21] Bushman, you're asking every few seconds now. please wait 15 minutes before you ask again [14:21] jrib i am not sure what to do with this http://pastebin.com/WFn5wK45 [14:21] jrib, good I could get emacsen-common removed [14:21] elnur: i tried to find it in apt-cache also. it exists. but it's not present in the repos. [14:22] leftist: put a # at the beginning of the third line [14:22] that is what i thought jrib [14:22] iuri: do you know if it fetched the postrm and prerm scripts and ran them? [14:22] Phuzzy: well just a few more hoops to jump then, maybe a look in ppa [14:22] bazhang: i'm not asking now, i'm arguing with ikonia and i don't know why -_-' [14:22] damn [14:22] Bushman: have you confirmed if the hardware is compatible with Linux ? [14:22] Bushman, move on please [14:22] ikonia: yes, it's fully operational [14:22] Bushman: , no it's compatible [14:22] Bushman: have you checked it's compatability / [14:23] !info dhcp-client maverick [14:23] dhcp-client (source: dhcp3): DHCP client transitional package. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1.3-2ubuntu6 (maverick), package size 27 kB, installed size 56 kB [14:23] the problem is it crashes when BT mouse is used [14:23] Bushman: ok, so it's not fully operational [14:23] Phuzzy: or if foward fails you can always move backward [14:23] elnur: so, there is no way to download it from the repos. hmmm. then i guess dhcp3-client should suffice [14:23] Bushman: have you checked it's compatability ? === piki is now known as Guest77922 [14:23] upon logging in, i get randomly disconnected and reconnected for 15 mins, then i stay connected, help plz [14:23] jrib, what do you mean by fetch? [14:23] ikonia: where can i check it? [14:23] iuri: never mind [14:23] jrib, i believe it didn't http://pastebin.com/RtwiJQpY [14:23] Bushman: with the vendor is always a good start [14:23] Bushman: then depending on that response, with secondary levels [14:23] jrib, but seriously, what is fetch? [14:24] hi! where is the official bug tracker? [14:24] iuri: oh, it means "get" or "download" in this case [14:24] rigved, i had it but it wasn't enough. okay, i'll try the ubuntu minimal cd. thx for trying to hlep [14:24] !bug | v0lksman [14:24] v0lksman: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs - Bugs in/wishes for the IRC bots (not Ubuntu) can be filed at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [14:24] multiplatinum: do you get this problem in other accounts as well? [14:24] and it does operate, just not permanently. it crashes in random intervals [14:24] jrib, ah okay [14:24] Bushman: that's not what I asked [14:24] rigved, i only have one user on this machine, myself xD [14:24] AbhijiT, thx [14:24] jrib, can you see it didn't? [14:24] Hi guys. I am having major trouble getting a USB Adaptor to connect. It's a Ralink 3070 chip, and it can SEE the wireless connection, but it wont connect to it, even though my other card (the one I am speaking to you now on) connects instantly. I have googled and tried everything, to no avail. Any suggestions?? [14:24] Bushman: I asked about compatatability [14:25] Bushman: if this is a new problem with no information, getting information is key [14:25] elnur: you are welcome. though i wasn't able to help. yes use the minimal CD [14:25] Bushman: getting the vendors stance on Linux compatability is a good start [14:25] iuri: I said "never mind" because if the postinst and preinst scripts were also empty, then it doesn't matter whether you ran the postrm and prerm scripts :) [14:25] multiplatinum: create a new user and use that account. check if this problem persists on that account too. [14:26] rigved, seems like holing network-manager package did the job. :) [14:26] jrib, okay. Thank you. The problem is solved [14:26] hey guys [14:26] wow that fixed it jrib i just didnt know where to look for it :) bless you!! [14:26] rigved, *holding [14:26] ok rigved, gotta give me some time then though [14:26] using bash, how can I delete all files in a directory, that are older, than 2 weeks? [14:26] has anyone experienced monitor burn-in with the default panels and menus? [14:26] meh.... still not having any luck... *sigh* lets go find those source files then. thanx anyway guys [14:26] ikonia: this should provide all information you can posibly wish: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/19/168 [14:26] elnur: ok. good. that'll also give you more easier control over the network connection. [14:26] Bushman: why would that provide information [14:27] multiplatinum: ok [14:27] iuri: you might check out Bug #512096 once launchpad decides to work again [14:27] SDr: try this first --> find dir -mtime +14 -exec echo rm '{}' + [14:27] i am running a partial upgrade because i am limited due to that broken package from brother...brb [14:27] SDr: if it looks ok remove the echo [14:27] SDr: hold on a second [14:27] Bushman: get the vendors stance on Linux support, [14:27] Bushman: that link provides nothing different to what you have said in this channel [14:28] Bushman: the fact that you are sending that information to a kernel list shows you think it's a kernel issue, not an ubuntu issue, so there is no point progressing it in this channel [14:28] jrib, Yep! thanks [14:28] I'm in a live cd trying to repair my no init found issue with fsck /dev/sda1 and its telling me device or resource busy while trying to open, fs mounted or opened exclusicvly by another program? How can I fix this [14:28] hello anybody using empathy here, I cant set status to invisible, using gtalk and facebook accounts [14:28] hello! i want to rename .deb package. Which section in the control file i should use? (conflicts, provides, replaces) [14:28] SDr: note that erUSUL's is based on mtime (modification time). I just noticed erUSUL put an echo in there so you can see what it does first, so go for it :P [14:28] rigved, yea. but installing ubuntu desktop and then ubuntu-desktop task doesn't feel right, so gonna try ubuntu minimal cd anyway. [14:28] ikonia: i don't know whats the problem [14:28] I have two 10.10 systems experiencing the same issue. One is a desktop using wireless (not using network-manager, I've put the settings in /etc/network/interfaces), the other a laptop using ethernet through a docking port (using network-manager). The issue is that for both networking will randomly stop working. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart works for the deskop machine for a while, but then eventually even that doesn't work -- [14:28] Bushman: ok, so why have you sent it to the kernel list [14:29] trans: jabber implementation of facebook chat doesn't support 'invisible' [14:29] rigved, *and then REMOVING ubuntu-desktop [14:29] Bushman: why are you not getting the vendor information as I'm asking [14:29] jrib, erUSUL, tyvm ^^ [14:29] ikonia: some dude didn't know how to bite it and he told me to post it on LKML [14:29] I want that it is possible to update my installed packages without removing. [14:29] Bushman: how to "bite it" - can you please talk in clear English [14:29] ikonia: what's a vendor information? [14:29] elnur: cool. all the best! [14:29] rigved, thx. you too :) [14:29] manufactirer? [14:29] xangua: is it supportable in pidgin [14:29] Hi, I'm trying to update a driver but i'm stuck at this line : struct tty_struct *tty = up->port.state->tty; I don't know which variable replaces tty, or even in which version tty was an actual variable, could soemone please help me ? === k is now known as k89 [14:29] Bushman: vendor information - that is what I've been telling you to get for the past 5 minutes, contact the vendor for Linux support details [14:30] trans: i think facebook does not support invisible status. [14:30] It does I think [14:30] elnur: :) [14:30] trans: The web version of it certainly doesn't [14:31] * Bushman gets contemporary english language dictionary and checks for "vendor" [14:31] -_-' [14:31] Bushman: stop messing around [14:31] hi all [14:31] Bushman: you're moaning you're not getting help, I'm helping you and you're making jokes [14:31] Good morning everyone, is there anyone here who can recommend an advanced unix/linux terminal/console guide , preferrably one that is comprehensive and large and maybe even well known? [14:31] Bushman: get the Vendor support information, it is important to know if the vendor has any linux support and if so what their requirements are [14:31] !abs > aadem [14:31] aadem, please see my private message [14:32] i have a ibm X3550M3 with a intel 6-c x5650 xeon cpu [14:32] thank you so much! [14:32] bazhang: tst tst ... people at #bash hate that guide ;P [14:32] Bushman: does the dongle lose power when the laptop is plugged into the wall? [14:32] ikonia: could you please stop using word vendor? [14:32] !abs > spow [14:32] spow, please see my private message [14:32] which image i should use i386 or amd64? [14:32] Bushman: no, as it's the correct word [14:32] !rute > aadem [14:32] aadem, please see my private message [14:32] erUSUL, :) [14:32] !abs > freakynl [14:32] freakynl, please see my private message [14:32] Bushman: contact the vendor, ask them about Linux support and if there is any what are the requirements [14:32] ikonia: use a synonym please [14:32] oh got it, we can go offline but not invisible [14:32] Bushman: also, it would be to your advantage not to talk back to ikonia [14:32] Bushman, seller [14:32] I was confused [14:32] Bushman: no, it's the correct word [14:32] well the seller is a mall [14:33] Bushman: in the industry, the term 'vendor' is spot-on correct. [14:33] they know nothing [14:33] my tty1-6 are not starting anymore, can anyone help me? [14:33] Bushman: the vendor is the company that makes the device [14:33] ahh, so it's the manufacturer [14:33] Bushman, vendor is who makes it and then sells it [14:33] Bushman: the vendor is the company that makes and, thus, SELLS the device. the term is correct. [14:33] i've asked that 10 minutes ago [14:33] Bushman: if a place manufactures a device and doesn't see a penny for it, how would they be a vendor then? [14:33] Bushman: ok, so wait until the vendor responds with details [14:34] Lets get back on topic. [14:34] Bushman: enough of your off-topicness, does the dongle lose power when the laptop is plugged into the wall? [14:34] thanks guys for the help [14:34] bye everybody, have a nice day all [14:35] ok, so the "vendor" is Esperanza, model is EM117. On the box it says it's designed for Windows and Mac [14:35] says nothing about linux but [14:35] Bushman: contact the vendor and ASK about Linux support [14:35] Bushman: I don't care, answer my question please. [14:35] it also says it's PnP and requires no driver [14:35] Bushman: contact the vendor and ASK about Linux support [14:35] Bushman: just answer the question. [14:35] give me a minute [14:35] good afternoon [14:37] my tty1-6 are not starting anymore, can anyone help me? [14:37] Loki^: how have you determined that they are not starting? [14:37] Hey guys, how do I install the Unity Global thing in Ubuntu 10.10? === CripperZ is now known as N00D [14:38] sudo apt-get install appmenu [14:38] Gnea i pressed strg + alt + f1-6 and theres only a blinking coursor... plus i used this command, forgot wich, to see if tty's are loaded, and its only tty7 === N00D is now known as N0DEH [14:39] Loki^: what version of Ubuntu are you on? [14:39] Gnea 10.10 [14:39] Loki^: and when did they start going away? [14:39] me4oslav, it says Unable to find the package "appmenu" [14:39] Gnea im pretty sure it was after an automatic update [14:40] Loki^: did you reboot? [14:40] Gnea plenty times [14:40] !find appmenu [14:40] Found: indicator-applet-appmenu, appmenu-gtk, indicator-appmenu, indicator-appmenu-tools [14:40] I'm going to try indicator-appmenu [14:41] Gnea since my tty's arent working anymore, my power govenor to control cpu frequency at startup doesnt work anymore either [14:41] Hey, how can i set a "slideshow as wallpaper" ? Like the image will change every day or something.. ( Ubuntu 10.10) [14:41] Loki^: alright, if you type in a terminal: ls /etc/init/tty* how many results occur? [14:41] any tool to view logfiles? [14:41] Gnea: check for /etc/init/tty[1-7].conf [14:41] Gnea even with sysfsutils nothing happens, its always on ondemand, never on powersave [14:41] schnuffle: no, really? [14:41] ikonia: the mouse IS linux compatible. The dongle also IS linux compatible. what now? [14:41] > ls /etc/init/tty* [14:41] /etc/init/tty1.conf /etc/init/tty3.conf /etc/init/tty5.conf [14:41] /etc/init/tty2.conf /etc/init/tty4.conf /etc/init/tty6.conf [14:41] raven: you can use tail -f /logfilr [14:41] Bushman, is it wireless? [14:42] schnuffle, i mean something with highlighting [14:42] I wasnt paying attention to you before. [14:42] Hey, how can i set a "slideshow as wallpaper" ? Like the image will change every day or something.. ( Ubuntu 10.10) [14:42] i thought that libre was replacing open-office in future releases? [14:42] schnuffle, thers a tool built in called log file viewer..u will find it in the system>administration menu [14:42] seems alright Gnea [14:42] anonboots: bluetooth [14:42] @kamlesh1 i prefer webilder for this job [14:42] Bushman: doesn't matter, is the laptop plugged into the WALL when the dongle dies? [14:42] It most likely will not work. [14:42] u tool [14:42] Gnea: yes [14:42] Loki^: one sec [14:42] Just return your items and use USB. [14:42] Bushman: and does the dongle die when you plug it into another computer? [14:42] anant: hm, but ubuntu has that feature by default, it has a few sets [14:42] kamalesh1: I found this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/25549/how-to-create-a-wallpaper-slideshow-in-ubuntu/ [14:42] anant: I just want to know how to add new sets [14:43] It is Windoes and Mac compatable. It isnt linux. Already went down that road. [14:43] sacarlson: Thanks, checking :) [14:43] sorry lads, can't get zoom to work, both enhanced or normal :$ [14:43] anonboots: it does works. just dies for unknown reason in random intervals. sometimes 10 seconds sometimes 10 minutes [14:43] Yes. Exactly. [14:43] As I said, I already went down that road. [14:43] Return it, and get USB compatable mouse and keyboard and such. [14:44] and i don't see how a remote device could kill dongle that works with other devices like mobile phone, headsets atc [14:44] *etc [14:44] Its the nature of the beast. [14:44] Bushman: why can't you answer the question? [14:44] Its just not lunix compatable. [14:44] Ive already been down that road. [14:45] hi everyone [14:45] Gnea: only in ubuntu [14:45] so yes [14:45] i've tested it in other ubuntu of my friend [14:45] i want some help on ubuntu installation issues [14:45] does not happen in windows XP nor in Windows Mobile 6.0 [14:45] alle, then ask [14:46] Thats because the hardware was developed for those OS systems. [14:46] Bushman: perhaps you could furnish some relevent usb information from the lsusb command [14:46] It was not developed for Ubuntu. While it may SORT OF work, it wont work all the time. [14:46] Loki^: still looking... [14:46] I had the same issue. [14:46] i installed ubuntu 10.04 everything went like a charm during installation but at the end after completing installation when i press reset button of last dialogue window. cd ejected and a lot of errors was appeared and system halted there. i pressed ctrl+c after waiting almost 30min and it continued the reset process. [14:46] i encounter no errors during booting. but a lot of files are missing. [14:46] i tried re-installing 5 to 6 times but no luck. always same results. [14:47] hello, currently, every reboot my theme reverts to the default gnome theme (raleigh, and gnome icons), until I reset the theme back in appearance, logout and login, and repeat that a few times. Does anybody know why and how to get rid of it? [14:47] alle: did you check the CD prior to installation? [14:47] alle, did you ever successfully startup after installation? [14:47] alle: why dont you just install 10.10 now ? :) [14:47] alle, is it running at all right now? [14:47] Gnea i googled myself alot, else i wouldnt be here.. but the only solution i found was to install a framebuffer, but i just want to have it like it was... i dont need the risk that my computer might not start up anymore === theclaw_ is now known as theclaw [14:47] Loki^: a framebuffer? what video card do you have? [14:47] yes os is working fine other then that [14:48] anonboots: the hardware is designed according to USB 2.0 and Bluetooth standards. also the mouse works as standard HID [14:48] i see no reaso why it would die because of hardware [14:48] i downloaded iso twice [14:48] Bushman: I understand that. However, our distro isnt completely there yet, and some things just will not work. [14:48] !md5 | alle [14:48] alle: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [14:48] alle, md5 the iso? burn slowly? do the disk integrity check? [14:49] Ive already researched your problem, and ultimately returned my hardware to the store and purchased hardware that will work. [14:49] Gnea: any information you may wish is here: http://www.bushman.pl/attachments/enviroment.txt [14:49] Gnea: including lsusb [14:49] elnur: hey. you can also try out LFS (Linux From Scratch). it teaches how to buid a Linux system from the ground up. [14:49] i verify it now [14:49] Gnea ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 [14:49] alle, be sure to do all 3 steps [14:49] anonboots: i installed LTS as it was suppose to be stable [14:50] Gnea i use proprietary driver from ati homepage [14:50] Bushman, its not ubuntu's issue [14:50] It is stable. VERY stable, Bushman. [14:50] which three steps bazhang [14:50] Its just not compatable with EVERYTHING on the planet. [14:50] Bushman: relative to the normal releases though, keep thtat in mind [14:50] alle, md5 the iso, burn slowly, do disk integrity check [14:50] brun slowly? [14:50] In future releases, you may find your hardware to work just fine. [14:50] rigved, it's a book, right? [14:51] alle, burn the iso to cd at low speed [14:51] anonboots: but it IS compatible with standard HID devices? [14:51] like USB mouses and keyboards? [14:51] But as of right now, in my experiences and from what I have tried, that hardware wont work correctly. [14:51] elnur: yes [14:51] alle: maybe it's a media problem, if you can you should try install iso direct hard disk with a grub2 entry http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604 [14:51] ya i did it slow speed [14:51] Loki^: ah okay, that could be the problem.... did you just download and install the driver from ati's page or did you follow the ubuntu-method of installing it?

AFAIK there was something like pa-suspender ? [15:19] pksadiq: i've looked into the HOWTO and they made the example based on exactly the same BT dongle as mine. i take that as "compatible with linux".

[15:46] !helpme | Bushman [15:46] Bushman: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on.

[15:52] Can't get same page source with 'View->page source' and with lynx -source "$link" , Any ideas? [15:52] Bushman: That's not good enough. You can here, to the #ubuntu channel, asking for help on Ubuntu. The Ubuntu forums are an extension of this place, as this place is an extension of the forums. Posting from outside of that realm defeats the purpose, plus you've already linked to that site from the forum posting AND you've ignored the help that's been provided there. [15:52] bazhang: yep [15:52] Jon--, burg? why not grub2 [15:52] Abhinav1, whats the connection [15:53] bazhang: burg is on top of grub2 [15:53] please help me remount an nfs share at boot. i can mount it from the command line with, "sudo mount 192.168.1.xx:/home/server/share /home/client/share [15:53] " just fine. but at boot, it won't mount!? this is the fstab entry, "192.168.1.70/home/moocher/linshare /home/bc81/linshare nfs rsize=1024,wsize=1024,noauto 0 0" do i need to add some // or \\? [15:53] Jon--, burg is 3rd party? [15:53] bazhang: well, sort of. I have grub2 installed. [15:53] Bushman: Since you've failed to heed the advice given there, I see no reason to attempt to help you here any further. [15:53] bazhang: I am surprised you've never heard of it.

It happens in random intervals. Some times 10 seconds, some times 5 minutes." [15:55] Jon--, whats the package name [15:55] Gnea: can u help with my problem? [15:55] Bushman: you didn't try any timers, therefore you ignored it. [15:55] what's the diference of burg and grub2 [15:55] I need to revert back to an older kernel version than I currently have stored on my machine (back to 2.6.34-*) on Ubuntu 10.10.

[15:55] elnur, im sorry can u repeat ur question again...lost it [15:55] hi [15:55] Jon--, so 3rd party not an ubuntu issue, fix grub2 [15:55] Gnea: dude, i though he mean auto-disable timers [15:55] bazhang: That's why I fucking came here for help. [15:56] i didn't ignored it, i answered to it [15:56] Bushman: then you should have asked to clarify. [15:56] bazhang: In case grub 2 was broken. [15:56] Jon--, watch the language [15:56] looks like ppl better like to stay out of any problems regarding via chipsets running on ubuntu :-s [15:56] Gnea: well, it was clear to me [15:56] Bushman: no, you ignored it. you didn't even try to setup a timer of any sort. [15:56] Guest87081, i don't even remember my question. maybe you mistaken me with someone else :) [15:56] Gnea: what sort of a timer should i try then? [15:56] Bushman: why don't you ask the person that made the suggestion? [15:56] Please tell me I didn't just break my boot loader... I messed up doing burg-install.. http://pastebin.com/HazjXCQM Please help I have to reboot my laptop soon and if I broke my boot loader I need to know [15:57] Gnea i understand, but isnt there a file defining all system startups? or something [15:57] recently when i wanna install new software in software center, instead of showing the Installation process, it shows me "Applying Changes" but this applying never ends. [15:57] what should i do? [15:57] Loki^: well that's what upstart does... is there something like a /var/log/upstart? [15:57] Gnea: "Have you somehow enabled an temporary bluetooth connection to stay up for some 10 mins or so?" [15:57] Gnea: answer "no" [15:58] Bushman: THEN why didn't you say NO? [15:58] Jon--: the error messages indicate that you didn't break it. two warnings and an error w/ no initializing or exiting. you should be ok. [15:58] Gnea: i didn't ignored it [15:58] milamber: Thank you. [15:58] gawdf! [15:58] D [15:58] Gnea there is boot and boot.log [15:58] Bushman: No, you ignored it because you didn't TRY [15:58] Bushman: someone gave you advice, you didn't try to follow it. that's the SAME as ignoring it. [15:58] no one answers me? [15:58] Gnea: if you'r trying to drive me crazy, you'r doing great [15:59] Loki^: could you pastebin those please? [15:59] Bushman: no, I'm trying to help you see the light so that you can properly solve this problem. [15:59] recently when i wanna install new software in software center, instead of showing the Installation process, it shows me "Applying Changes" but this applying never ends. [15:59] Gnea: boot is empty, boot.log only says init: ureadahead-other main process (854) terminated with status 4 [15:59] Gnea: the first word in my reply was "no" [15:59] Gnea: go read it again [15:59] blue112: I found the file that has the timout /etc/default/grub in line with: GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 10 being the timout in secouds, if that is already set at 10 secounds it must be a keyboard problem [15:59] Bushman: if you're going crazy, then good. but if you insist on not changing your approach to solving the problem and not following advice, then there is no hope for you. [15:59] and give me a break. i didn't ignored him [16:00] is there a keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot of a window? [16:00] Gnea, lets move on [16:00] Bushman, see your PM [16:00] Bushman: yes, and then you said "I haven't enabled any timers" [16:00] Hi, when I install something sometimes the display goes crazy or someting & donno how to get it back to normal,I think it's when Ubuntu-Desktop gets uninstalled [16:00] codemagician: prntscrn [16:00] milamber, for a single window [16:00] Bushman: by not enabling any timers, you haven't tried. [16:00] milamber, prntscrn gives me the whole shabang? [16:01] Gnea: by that person's question, i too assumed that he meant, whether the timers were set becoz of which the bluetooth was dying out after some time ... :) [16:01] codemagician: alt + prntscrn [16:01] he didnt say "try setting timers" [16:01] :P [16:01] Bushman: see if the same pointing device works with another machine's Bluetooth connection. then try another mouse with the Ubuntu machine. see what happens. [16:02] !find wintermute [16:02] Package/file wintermute does not exist in maverick [16:02] PCdoc: He asked if the timers had been set yet or not, which assumes "well, if they haven't been set, then set them already!" [16:02] hi there , how can i get vsftpd to play nice? cant get it to be able to ftp files into the ftp .. [16:02] tpt: recently when i wanna install new software in software center, instead of showing the Installation process, it shows me "Applying Changes" but this applying never ends. [16:02] Gnea: i will try to say that as calm as i can: he asked about "disabling" timers. they are turned OFF. i didn't set them ON and i don't NEED to turn them ON cause i want my BT dongle to work 24/7. is that clear enough? [16:02] Gnea: i'm not reading it like that at all. [16:03] tpt: what should i do? [16:03] i need an easy ftp server === N0DEH is now known as CripperZ [16:03] Bushman: i agree [16:03] Abhinav1, there is not a wintermute in ubuntu repos [16:03] How do I find and install a driver for Intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device ?

[16:03] vsftpd , but i cant get it to work like it should [16:03] tips are welcome [16:03] yellabs-r2: why FTP and not SFTP? [16:03] Bushman: Now, I will tell you: since you didn't turn them on, that means you didn't even try to do what was suggested, you assumed that turning the timers on would make things worse, not better, without even trying to see if they would or not.

[16:09] Gnea: there's no timer to i am aware of that will disable BT compleetly [16:09] sacarlson: 10x. No, I don't use wifi.. It is a wired connection [16:09] will running sysctl -w kernel.sysrq=0 to fix the alt + prnt screen cause any issues?

[16:10] Gnea: and since we'r on the thing. the dongle is acting like it was "re-pluged" into the system, not disabled. [16:10] teicah: well it takes not much space or time to compile so I think I would keep it in the event you test a usb wifi dongle with it some day [16:11] milamber, it worked fine thanks [16:11] teicah: what would it hurt if you did compile the firmware? === JesusFreak316_ is now known as JesusFreak316 [16:12] dunno..

Thanks for your time [16:13] Quick question here... I'm trying to use the "Ubuntu Software Center" as much as possible, since I guess it's the standard way of installing stuff nowadays.. but, for example, now I want to install the "subversion" package. Is it 300% ok with the system to use aptitude? or will it break stuff? I hate breaking my system, obviously.

[16:30] SoftarPaul: mysqld.sock is created when the server is started and destroyed when the server is shut down [16:30] SoftarPaul: are you sure your mysql server is running?

I know how to mount it once, then take the /proc/mounts entry and stick it in /etc/fstab, but would like to know if there is a GUI way. Ubuntu 10.10 [17:12] lcb: have you experimented with lsmod before? [17:12] SoftarPaul: is there anything in /var/log/mysql.err or /var/log/mysql.log ? [17:12] allquixotic, I think the disk utility will do that, no? [17:12] smallfoot: note however that you can usually find PPAs for some of the more popular programs (for example the kernel team has a ppa iirc). Using them just means you have less stability (like with rolling releases) [17:12] im pissed that i have kernel 2.6.35, and i must wait 6 months [17:13] smallfoot, this is not for complaints [17:13] 2.6.35 is a bad thing? [17:13] wait 6 months for what [17:13] jrib, the ppa only have 2.6.37 for 11.04 not 10.10 [17:13] mkanyicy« yes, it gives me several ones for video [17:13] gunndawg: so like a button it needs no display? you can add it to a pannel to run your python script or just a file on you desktop that's runable I guess [17:13] bazhang, where is for complaints? [17:13] minimec: http://pastebin.com/RsbaTjNn [17:13] milamber: not var/log/mysql/error.log? [17:13] compdoc: The disk utility will mount it once, but I don't think it will make it mount on boot. [17:13] hi ironfoot495, im smallfoot! [17:13] Any solutions for apt-mirror: Ssh: cannot open archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz: No such file ?? [17:13] oh, I thought you wanted to do it manually [17:14] what is kubuntu's equivalent to ubuntu's baobab? [17:14] yeah I see how did you come up wiyh that name? [17:14] allquixotic, try editing fstab? [17:14] smallfoot: [17:14] SoftarPaul: if that exists and there is something in it, it's probably relevant [17:14] milamber: they seem to be empty. or is it just because they've got a lock? [17:14] compdoc: That's not a GUI way :) In my initial question I stated I know how to edit /etc/fstab. But when advising new users, I'd rather be able to tell them where to click, not what to type. :) [17:15] SoftarPaul: gksu gedit will open them (and show you if there is anything there) [17:15] well maybe you got small feet right:) [17:15] allquixotic, all gui's [17:15] ironfoot495, maybe you got iron feet :D [17:15] ooops, all gui's edit the config files - if its only done once, why use a gui? [17:16] ironfoot495: There is a thread about someone having troubels with the 10.10 live CD in combination iwth your GPU... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1587551 [17:16] well I'm a drummer from new york and I kick a mean Base Drum that why I got the name!!! === ajain is now known as abhijain [17:16] milamber: mysql.err is empty [17:16] minimec: ok I'll check it out! Thanx. [17:17] SoftarPaul: ok. check /var/log/daemon.log [17:17] lcb, imho lspci -v | less, find your device, and it should list a kernel driver\module [17:17] smallfoot: erm, are you sure? [17:17] ironfoot495: I am not really a Nvidia Guru. Maybe try to find some nvidia expert here on the channel. [17:17] how does one know if he has grub or grub2? [17:17] jrib, idk [17:17] smallfoot: you can get newer kernels from the kernel team ppa [17:17] q0z« thank you [17:17] ok! [17:17] milamber: should I pastebin the last ones? [17:17] SoftarPaul: yes [17:18] smallfoot: well check... I'm fairly certain tha kernel ppa has the kernel you want (the -backbport-natty package) [17:18] milamber: http://pastebin.com/EyE3MUui [17:18] jrib, but i have maverick, not natty [17:18] smallfoot: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [17:18] smallfoot: yes. [17:18] grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu10) #Is this grub or grub2? [17:19] smallfoot: but they aren't supported as I understand it [17:19] jrib, how i get 2.3.37 in maverick? [17:19] SoftarPaul: where is the my.cnf located? [17:19] smallfoot: by doing what I just told you :/ [17:19] popey, on that website, i only find for natty, not maverick [17:19] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.37-rc2-maverick/ [17:19] smallfoot: ^^ [17:19] popey, thats rc2, its bug, i want stable, that is not rc [17:19] milamber: /etc/mysql/my.cnf [17:19] smallfoot: compile it yourself? [17:19] usr13: grub2 [17:20] smallfoot: I dont think you understand the way we release our software [17:20] popey, its not easy [17:20] smallfoot: ubuntu doesn't claim to always have latest of everything [17:20] my system is formatted but i backup the /etc dir before i want to install previous /etc in the new box . [17:20] I have a friend that has 9.04. Would he have grub or grub2? [17:20] I want to "hide" or remove the switch user icon from the panel - How do I do it? [17:21] smallfoot: what's your issue with https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa ? [17:21] ironfoot495: Your card seems to be a special integrated GPU. --> see following link 'Video decoding processes that could be accelerated' http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/XvMC [17:21] smallfoot: if you want the very latest of everything you have various options, one of which is to run a different distro, like arch, or debian, another option is build it yourself, another option is to get someone else to do it. demanding it here wont solve it [17:21] milamber: /etc/mysql/my.cnf [17:21] usr13: grub legacy [17:21] jrib, it has kernel for natty, not for maverick === |Alexia_Death| is now known as Alexia_Death_ [17:22] bonjoyee: Thanks. Well, probelm is that he re-installed, (becuase he forgot password), and now he is no longer able to boot MS-Windows on his notebook. [17:23] how can i reback my computer via my old backups ? [17:23] smallfoot: actually those packages are built for lucid [17:23] bonjoyee: Not sure what to tell him. Not sure where to start... [17:23] usr13: did the install not pick up the windows install? [17:23] !info etckeeper | bobmarley [17:23] bobmarley: etckeeper (source: etckeeper): store /etc in git, mercurial, bzr or darcs. In component main, is optional. Version 0.48ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 32 kB, installed size 380 kB [17:23] jrib, i want 2.6.37 for maverick [17:23] Isn't a grub version of 1.98 indicative of grub2? If you look at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/ it seems "GRUB legacy" is 0.97 and earlier; "GRUB 2" is 1.90 or later. [17:23] smallfoot: so you probably either need to wait or build it yourself [17:23] allquixotic, yes [17:23] !grub | usr13 [17:23] usr13: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [17:23] I told him that he should upgrade to 10.04 but.... other than that, I don't know. [17:24] thanks bazhang lemme try it :) [17:24] bazhang, usr13, bonjoyee: Then he is not using grub legacy. That is grub2. [17:24] (thanks bazhang) [17:24] smallfoot: I have given you the options [17:24] milamber? [17:24] allquixotic, yep :) [17:24] hi there [17:24] allquixotic: how? [17:24] Hello, I'm having some trouble with apt-get. I tried install vim a few days ago and got this error "E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)." with a bunch of stuff saying "that" this relied on "that" and that they won't be installed. So then I tried "apt-get -f install" and it gives me the error "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libattr1". I [17:24] searched for a solution yesterday and found a few things, but none of them worked for me. I just thought there might be someone here that could help, thanks to anyone who relies. [17:24] SoftarPaul: hold please (hampster doing its thing) [17:24] bonjoyee: Look at the version of the grub-install that usr13 posted. It was 1.98 and some ubuntu patches. That's grub2. [17:25] bonjoyee: You can also easily tell by determining which of these two files exists: /boot/grub/menu.lst (grub-legacy) or /boot/grub/grub.cfg (grub2) [17:25] jrib, in windows or mac i never need build anything myself, only in linux!! CRAP! [17:25] allquixotic: oh..ok..i jumped in late....but he mentions its 9.04? [17:25] the cpu frequency scaling thing only lets me take my laptop up to 1.9Ghz when it's a 2.4 --- why is this? [17:25] it's a default install I haven't touched anything [17:26] smallfoot: But if you want the latest features and bleeding edge stuff, you have to run the dev release. [17:26] popey, i dont want arch linux, its dumb and need edit config file and do dumb stuffs in 1000 hours [17:26] smallfoot: you don't need to build anything. Just use what the repositories already provide for you [17:26] bonjoyee: Maybe he installed the grub2 package :) Might've been available as a package back then, I honestly don't remember. But if it is a default install, then yeah, it would probably have to be grub-legacy...? O.o [17:26] milamber: What's hampster? [17:26] jpds, yeha i tried natty alpha2, it sucks so hard, you try open a window, whole thing crashes, its more crap than windows 3.11 beta1 [17:27] allquixotic: also if its grub2 ,,then getting windows back should be as easy as doing....sudo update-grub! [17:27] Besides, a grub version of 1.98 couldn't possibly have been reported before 3/5/2010, because that's when that version of grub2 was put on GNU's ftp server. [17:27] smallfoot: anyway, popey and I have told you, if you don't like ubuntu's time-based releases (stable release every 6 months and then only security updates), then use a different distro. It's that simple [17:27] smallfoot: With, it is an _unstable_ release for a reason. [17:27] So a grub version of 1.98 on 9.04 is a huge anachronism :) [17:27] unless he compiled it from source [17:28] Does anyone know of a program similar to hwinfo that will measure the active speed of a USB port? [17:28] Is there anyone here that could help me fix apt-get? [17:28] jrib, different distro? like gentoo? its like pick yourself in the eye with a fork, the only alternative to ubuntu is mac or win7 [17:29] piercedwater: sudo lshw [17:29] piercedwater: time dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/foo/filename [17:29] hey guys, how to reset all graphic settings ans start from the begining to install a new graphic card ? [17:29] SoftarPaul: it meant i was thinking. is your my.cnf readable?? ls /etc/mysql/my.cnf [17:29] smallfoot: then use mac or win if that's what you like [17:29] Is it possible that update-grub will fix it? [17:29] jpds, so just cuz its unstable, it has to be worse than windows 3.11 beta1? [17:29] smallfoot: this isnt helping [17:29] It's giving me a few errors and I can't find any way to fix it. [17:30] usr13: don't remember if that works on grub legacy.. [17:30] LeGambitteur: If you are using a recent enough version of Ubuntu and no proprietary drivers, you shouldn't need to do anything to change your graphics card. It should be automatically detected. [17:30] I have lost the volume control/mixer icon "thingie" in the notification/system tray area since I upgraded to 10.10. I've still got sound and everything but could anyone tell me how to restore it? [17:30] LeGambitteur: However, if you *do* have proprietary NVIDIA or ATI drivers installed, you should remove them first if you are changing from ATI to NVIDIA or vice versa. [17:30] anyone knows a windows mobile sync for ubuntu ? [17:30] Doesn't seem to be a normal gnome panel applet thingie [17:30] whitehat: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get check [17:30] usr13: you could check the grub guide though !grub | usr13 [17:30] is there a separate channel for advanced networking in ubuntu? [17:31] no [17:31] milamber, ok I'll try that [17:31] azidhaka: just ask [17:32] milamber, Using those commands it gives me the error "E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f." [17:32] allquixotic: I was using an nvidia card, then the sis embended one and now an nvidia one, but it's not detected, so I want to reset all settings to see if it'll be detected [17:32] whitehat: try sudo apt-get install -f [17:32] whitehat: sudo apt-get -f install [17:32] hi, can anyone please mention about how to install packages from ubuntu 10.10 maverick dvd, without internet connection [17:32] plazia: add the Indicator Applet 0.3.7 [17:33] bonjoyee, i'll try that [17:33] LeGambitteur: Ah -- so you have an on-board SiS integrated GPU, as well as an Nvidia discrete card? [17:33] sacarlson, thanks I'll try it [17:33] allquixotic: yes [17:34] LeGambitteur: The SiS chip doesn't have any special proprietary drivers, so all you need to do is install the NVIDIA binary drivers (or try to get nouveau working if you want open source), and make sure your VGA or DVI-D cable is plugged into the correct card. [17:34] thanks popey bonjoyee [17:34] I have the following network setup: client --pptpvpn--> server --ipiptunnel--> 2ndserver --> internet. This system works perfectly in CentOS, but with Ubuntu i am having [17:34] ...problems [17:34] LeGambitteur: Your motherboard probably has a VGA or DVI port, and that goes to the SiS chip. To use the NVIDIA card, you need to plug your monitor into the NVIDIA card in your PCI or PCI-Express slot. [17:34] the too-big-enter syndrome [17:34] allquixotic: it'splugged in the right port [17:35] LeGambitteur: OK. Are you currently at the nvidia machine, using the desktop, with the monitor plugged into the nvidia card? [17:35] bonjoyee, The last time I tried that it gave me the error "E: Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on libattr1", but this time it's doing something different. Hopefully it works this time. [17:35] whitehat: good luck:) [17:36] allquixotic: yes I'm using the nvidia card, but it's not detected [17:36] hello, I was wondering what is the nearest program to adobe fireworks? [17:36] LeGambitteur: OK -- by "not detected", what do you mean? Do you get a specific error message? [17:36] !equivalents > paradigmflow [17:36] paradigmflow, please see my private message [17:37] anyone knows any syncronization application for wmobile ? [17:37] bazhang: do you ever sleep :P [17:37] ionut: Try SynCE [17:37] hi, can anyone please mention about how to install packages from ubuntu 10.10 maverick dvd, without internet connection [17:37] allquixotic: no specific messages, but when I try to install the proprietary drivers nothing is detected [17:38] allquixotic: okay. thanks buddy [17:38] wsirc_4737723: add the dvd to sources.list... [17:38] I have the following network setup: client --pptpvpn--> server --ipiptunnel--> 2ndserver --> internet. This system works perfectly in CentOS, but with Ubuntu i am having the following problems: pings from the client to the internet are erratic, websites do not open, etc. Tcpdump shows that the client sends the initial packets and nothing happens for a while, and then a single RST is received from the website. I've managed to provide internet [17:38] access for the 2ndrouter by lowering MTU on the tunnel. The clients are still in the air. Any ideas? [17:38] LeGambitteur: OK. Hmm. Can you find the PCI ID for your Nvidia card for me? It should be in the terminal command: lspci -nnvv [17:38] LeGambitteur: It should show up as a "VGA Controller" and should say "NVIDIA" somewhere in there. And then it'll have two numbers, like this: [1234:5678] [17:39] bonjoyee: its added but not working [17:39] So will USB 3.0 actually hit the speed they claim? My USB 2.0 port gets no where near the 480Mbps its supposed to [17:39] wsirc_4737723: have you added another repos to sources.list that get packages from internet? [17:40] bonjoyee: infact i have ubuntu 10.10 and systems adds a line in the sources.list some other some other line by itself [17:40] allquixotic: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] [10de:0322] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) [17:40] Ah. FX 5200. Thanks [17:40] bonjoyee: the packages from internet are working fine [17:41] yeah it's an old one :p [17:41] wsirc_4737723: did you run sudo apt-get update after adding it to the list? [17:41] I'll pose this question to the channel then; does anyone know if the GeForce FX 5200 is still supported by current NVIDIA binary drivers? Not sure if they have removed support. [17:41] bonjoyee: yes [17:41] I *think* you will need to use the nvidia legacy drivers [17:41] thnx! definitely links to keep ;o) [17:41] CPU Frequency Scaling only lets me go up to 1.9GHz -- my laptop is a dual core 2.4GHz --- what's the problem? (It's a default install) [17:41] wsirc_4737723: then apt will try to get the latest package from the internet and not the dvd..only if the packages on the dvd are the current version, they will install from it.. [17:42] bonjoyee: synaptics package manager is preconfigured to get the installation from a specifc DVD [17:42] LeGambitteur: NVIDIA has three "series" of binary drivers. The current series supports recent cards (I think, GeForce 7000 or later). The legacy series supports, probably your FX 5200. The unsupported series supports the truly ancient stuff. [17:42] bonjoyee: ok [17:42] wsirc_4737723: how exactly? [17:42] LeGambitteur: Which version of Ubuntu are you running? [17:43] bonjoyee: how i can override this option, i do not want to use internet at all [17:43] CPU Frequency Scaling only lets me go up to 1.9GHz -- my laptop is a dual core 2.4GHz --- what's the problem? (It's a default install) [17:43] allquixotic: Maverick [17:43] LeGambitteur: Ok, great. I'm thinking you need to install the nvidia-96 package. [17:43] Yep. This is from `aptitude show nvidia-96': GPUs ranging from GeForce series 2 (except for GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro, [17:43] GeForce2 Ti and GeForce2 Ultra) to Geforce series 7 are supported. [17:44] 5200 is between '2' and '7' ;-) [17:44] hello there.I will format my dual boot computer (ubuntu-windows) but grub is on same partition with windows .How can i restor grub after formatting [17:44] allquixotic: := [17:44] allquixotic: You seem to have some knowledge about the nvidia driver. I had a question about sluggish behaviour of a nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] (rev a2), using property driver. Any ideas? [17:45] allquixotic: on 10.10 maverick...

That said, I might be able to speculate as to the issue. Sluggish behavior, eh? Do you have compiz (desktop effects) enabled? [17:46] CPUFREQ shows " hardware limits: 800 MHz - 1.90 GHz" but I have a dual core 2.4GHz -- what's the problem? [17:46] can i ask problems here? [17:46] yes [17:46] allquixotic: thanks for your help, but how to install the package ? [17:47] allquixotic: LeGambitteur: I see at nvidea site it wants nvidia driver version 173.14.28 as support http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-173.14.28-driver.html [17:47] i have installed vuze. What is the default install location of that? can some one pls tell me? [17:47] sacarlson, thanks that sorted it :) [17:47] Nisarg_Shah: This is a community tech support channel for supported versions of Ubuntu. If you have a problem with that, go ahead and ask. [17:47] obscurant1st, that should be under internet applications [17:47] allquixotic: Was a question on the #channel here from ironfoot*something*... I guess he used default settings including restricted driver. [17:47] well, i just installed eclipse from the software center, but it was 3.5.2, 3.6 being the latest. [17:47] coz_: no i need the install location, where the binaries are stored! [17:47] obscurant1st: try "whereis vuze" or "which vuze" [17:48] can anyone help with my problem? [17:48] obscurant1st, most likely /usr/bin [17:48] obscurant1st, look inapplications/ internet [17:48] i searched on the internet for steps to update, and followed them, but keep getting there are no new updated [17:48] minimec: ironfoot495 is no longer here, so if that's his problem, and he isn't here... [17:48] coz_: bonjoyee1 thanks guys! [17:48] bonjoyee1: any hint for me [17:48] Nisarg_Shah: you looked for aupdated PPA of eclipse? [17:48] allquixotic: I know. [17:48] BlaDe^: Can I get a pastebin of /proc/cpuinfo? [17:48] aaaaa.... whats that, i am new to ubuntu [17:48] LeGambitteur: Oh, you might want to install the nvidia-173 package instead :-) Although the -96 package MAY work, the 173 is much more recent and still supports your GPU [17:48] sure, moment undecim [17:49] !ppa | Nisarg_Shah [17:49] Nisarg_Shah: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

[17:52] St018: are you runing the live cd right now ? [17:52] new doubt! [17:52] no boot [17:52] minimec: Unsure. You can look in dmesg to check which version you're running though. [17:52] bonjoyee: no [17:53] BlaDe^: Do you have cpufrequtils installed? [17:53] wsirc_4737723: ok...is this the same dvd you installed your ubuntu from? [17:53] undecim: yup -- want the info output? [17:53] BlaDe^: AYe [17:53] allquixotic: DOn't need nvidia assistance personally. But THX for the information. I am more the ATI guy...

[17:54] its dual boot [17:54] bonjoyee: yes, i mean the first name, out of two [17:54] i will just format windows [17:55] St018: so you havn't done it yet [17:55] but thanks to manufacturer ubuntu's grub settings are in ntfs partition which i will format [17:55] no but my friend done [17:55] wsirc_4737723: ok then...comment out the second line...mount the dvd..and do sudo apt-get update [17:55] bonjoyee: coz_ it showed /usr/bin/vuze but its not a dir it says? [17:55] BlaDe^: Is this a laptop? [17:55] undecim: yes [17:55] hello [17:55] Nisarg_Shah: ar u there [17:55] http://flurdy.com/docs/eclipse/install.html [17:56] yes [17:56] BlaDe^: Is it currently connected to AC power? [17:56] check here it says how to [17:56] undecim: yes [17:56] BlaDe^: Was it connected on boot? [17:56] obscurant1st: it should be a binary file..try file /usb/bin/vuze [17:56] undecim: yes, it's almost always connected.... i've had this problem for months.. but finally decided to try and do something about it [17:56] undecim: I also had the issue on 10.04 [17:56] BlaDe^: My guess would be that it's a BIOS setting [17:57] BlaDe^: But that could be wrong [17:57] St018: ok, I'v done the same, but with a french procedure, so what are u runing now ? [17:57] strange thing. the battery for my laptop has been dead for a few months. I just recieved the new one i ordered but when i put it in "everything works fine" I do not have the "on battery power" settings group under power managment anymore???? [17:57] undecim: what should I look for? the bios is pretty basic for this laptop [17:57] ubuntu [17:57] 23 or 24 kernel [17:57] bonjoyee: the thing is i downloaded the latest binaries from vuze website, and i am thinking to update it by replacing these binaries, but now in here i am only able to find one binary file. :( [17:57] running ubuntu 10.10 by the way [17:57] bonjoyee: its mounted, but is in the /media, not in the /media/cdrom and cat /etc/fstab, does not have its entry [17:58] St018: fine, System->Administration->disk utilities [17:58] BlaDe^: Anything to do with clock speed or performance. Though unless you changed it yourself, I don't see any reason for it to be limiting your CPU speed [17:58] LeGambitteur: im there [17:58] undecim: Nah I haven't touched it. [17:58] wsirc_4737723: it should be in /media/apt [17:58] obscurant1st: did you install it from the repos? [17:58] I no longer have the settings tab for "on battery power" on my laptop. I dont know where it went, how it went or why it went. How do i get it back? Ubuntu 10.10 [17:59] bonjoyee: should i create apt manually [17:59] St018: note the id of your primary hdd [17:59] wsirc_4737723: no.. [17:59] undecim: thanks for your help [17:59] St018: normaly it's /dev/sda [17:59] BlaDe^: Is your laptop running hot or anything? [17:59] bonjoyee: the old one i installed from binaries, but the vze 4.6 is nt there in repos [17:59] i am really new to ubuntu and have a question : what is tar.gz exactlly. i know its a compression standard, but does it have any other application, like an exe in windows [17:59] undecim: nope, 48degrees for the CPU [17:59] BlaDe^: In my experience, AMD boards like to have hardware control of CPU frequency... [17:59] wsirc_4737723: how did you mount the dvd..from iso image? [17:59] undecim: I see [18:00] BlaDe^: e.g., my laptop will only go to 1/2 speed if not plugged in [18:00] dev/sda [18:00] undecim: I rarely utilise all the CPU anyway so it's not a major issue, just irritating [18:00] Nisarg_Shah, Nope. It is just the format in which linux/ubuntu uses for packages. [18:00] obscurant1st: what do you mean by binaries? [18:00] I no longer have the settings tab for "on battery power" on my laptop. I dont know where it went, how it went or why it went. How do i get it back? Ubuntu 10.10 [18:00] LeGambitteur: i have 7 [18:00] BlaDe^: It might be the powernow driver, too [18:00] does ubuntu use /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit [18:00] undecim: that'td make proc/cpuinfo report the wrong data? [18:01] St018: 7 hdd ? [18:01] BlaDe^: No [18:01] tar.gz will contain binaries right, like firefox when we download from the webite [18:01] first script run by init [18:01] then how do u 'install' from tar.whatever [18:01] obscurant1st: yes..so my question is..how did you install the older version? [18:01] Nisarg_Shah, right click>extract here. [18:01] bonjoye: mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom [18:01] the old version is still there in repo [18:02] LeGambitteur: No 7 partitions 1 for bootable 2 ntfs 1 swap and 3 ezt [18:02] that will extract the folder, is that it? [18:02] i think i hv made some changes in the repo [18:02] but still its shwing 4.3 [18:02] hellooo [18:02] wsirc_4737723: is this a dvd image or a physical disc? [18:02] bonjoyee: mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom [18:02] bonjoyee: dvd image [18:03] wsirc_4737723: then that command won't mount the image..

[18:36] paradigmflow: You may want to run first: sudo apt-get update [18:36] hi, where i can put rythmbox translation? [18:36] izinucs: compiz is just a window manager. you can use it with gnome, kde, or xfce [18:36] hi, where i can put rythmbox translation? [18:36] hi [18:37] izinucs: gnome's window manager is metacity. kde's is kwin, and xfce's is xfwm4 [18:37] is there an ubuntu equivalent to freebsd's portaudit, or do you just watch the security lists and manually upgrade vulnerable packages [18:37] sten_: you might seacrch for a locales/folder [18:37] many thnx === kaie is now known as Guest60790 [18:38] maco: yes.. but like in 10.04 pulseaudio was in gnome but not in kubuntu and there are other system differences in the backend. [18:38] jalljo: I just install apticron and then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade when it emails me that there are updates. [18:38] izinucs: kubuntu and xubuntu both use pulseaudio now [18:38] maco: yes.. on 10.10 [18:39] Invalid operation imagemagick? [18:39] maco: ok.. I'll give it a shot..

[18:40] yer [18:40] paradigmflow: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install imagemagick [18:40] paradigmflow: how? paste your command [18:41] schnuffle1: If it says that "imagemagick" is an invalid command, omitting of the directive "install" almost certainly [18:41] yes I missed the 'install' bit :$ [18:41] Pici: can I PM you a trivial question please? [18:41] sudo apt-get install mysql this is not working any help> [18:41] genii-around: the main imagemagick tool is called convert [18:42] Hi, I relogged out of ubuntu, truecrypt was running, refuses to show a window because it's really there i just cannot see it, i tried sudo killall -9 truecrypt, and i dont see it running anywhere, how to get truecrypt running again without restarting PC?

[18:43] rylie: don't do that again [18:43] I see [18:43] Rylie:can you not spam the channel please [18:43] noobie25: you trying to install LAMP? then use sudo tasksel [18:43] hello is there a command to find out which users belong to what groups? [18:43] Encry9, have you tried running it from a terminal to see the debug info [18:43] i have the password [18:44] izinucs: yes... i haven't used tasksel.... i'll try that now [18:44] rylie, so go install 7z and extract [18:44] rylie: 1st: mind your language here [18:44] pvl1: yeah, ill try with -v and see what it says or is there a better method? [18:44] ActionParsnip: Sure. [18:44] How can I extract a tar.gz to a specific folder in one command? I tried "tar xzvf filename.tar.gz -C $HOME/folder" and it didn't work. [18:44] hi I'm unable to mount disk - wrong filetype. How can I get disk filetype (/dev/sdb2 3854 19457 125339130 83 Linux) [18:44] Rylie: if you install p7zip-full and p7zip-rar you can run: 7z x filename [18:45] / [18:45] Encry9, you might also want to try running top, or better yet htop, to see if maybe its not called truecrypt [18:45] hello, any one here installed android sdk in ubuntu?

[18:45] SuperPaco69: less /etc/group [18:45] q0z no hard drive [18:45] yes pvl1 [18:46] SuperPaco69: you could grep /etc/group for the usernames or the group name. [18:46] hi !!! [18:46] greppy - thanks. thats one method i had read about but wasnt sure if that just emailed about updates or if it ranked them by severity. ill check it out [18:46] ok greppy thanks [18:46] Rypervenche: try a direct link, ditch $HOME for now [18:46] Anyone have ssh-agent working in ubuntu from the command line? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [18:46] SuperPaco69: getent group somegroupname [18:46] do you know a way to change desktop icons size in ubuntu ? [18:46] mkanyicy: I tried that as well, I tried using "/home/username/folder" but it did nothing as well. [18:46] !anyone | cognitiaclaeves [18:46] cognitiaclaeves: 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? [18:47] q0z I try et3 and nfs but nothing works [18:47] hm.. then this is definitely not the way to do it, but start up gparted and look at the device, then mount -t (filetype gpartedshowed) /dev/sda(partion #) (folder) [18:47] Rypervenche: what message do you get? [18:47] ssh-agent appears to be broken in ubuntu LTS. I keep getting prompted for my pass key. [18:48] ajitam, mistyped, sdb* [18:48] mkanyicy: No message, it just acts as though it finished, but nothing has been extracted. Normally I would just extract the folder then mv it, but since it's in a shared folder, I would rather not. [18:48] How do I make ssh-agent work properly in ubuntu LTS? [18:48] cognitiaclaeves, why wouldnt you be prompted for a pass key? [18:48] Rypervenche: does tar xzvf filename works without the -C option? [18:49] pvl1: I would the first time. I shouldn't every time after, right? [18:49] bonjoyee: it does not seems to work at all, while doing apt-get install somthing it goes to internet repos and dont look for cdrom [18:49] cognitiaclaeves: how are you running ssh-agent? [18:49] evening all, I'm trying to recover my data after init couldn't be found, I am in the livecd at the mo but half my files and folders say I do not have the permissions necessary to display [18:49] Rypervenche: plus do you have write permissions to your destination folder, or does it exist already? [18:49] mkanyicy: Doing tar xzvf filename works fine. [18:49] hi im trying to connect to a virtual classroom that my university has but o only get a wihte page, but in windows it works fine, any idea why ff in ubuntu wont display it? [18:49] cognitiaclaeves, well if your running an ssh client to connect, yes it would ask for a password everytime [18:49] greppy: eval `ssh-agent` , except in a script. [18:49] I have ubuntu installed on my EVO phone (My tutorial) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10584098#post10584098 I am installing darwin streaming server and(done it sucsessfuly on my desktp computrs) I get "./Install: line 408: /user/local/bin/qtpasswd: no such file or directory". I installed with and without root priv. and even emulated in qemu, no luck either way. Is it because [18:49] it is in a chroot envirement? is there any work around, (all files and folders belong to root except "home/user". [18:49] pvl1: I was able to find the truecrypt window with superkey+tab, silly me for not doing that first! :) [18:50] wsirc_4737723: that depends on what package you are installing..i [18:50] pvl1: Do you know what ssh-agent is? [18:50] mkanyicy: Yes, and I tried it both with the folder already existing, and without. [18:50] Xman: if you rightclick and icon you can stretch it. If its the icon for a removable media it will stay stretched next time too [18:50] cognitiaclaeves: each time you do that it is setting up a new... socket? I think anyway... [18:50] Encry9, ah, good job! [18:51] izinucs: thanks...i think its working like a charm! [18:51] greppy: Correct. So I run the script once. [18:51] bonjoyee: but since i assume dvd has all the things than it has to look there also, can i force somehow to look only in cdrom and not internet [18:51] cognitiaclaeves, oh my mistake, yes i do. have you set up a password keeper thing on ubuntu [18:51] !cookie | izinucs [18:51] izinucs: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [18:51] cognitiaclaeves: what I normally did was to save the output to a file, then source that file to get the env setup [18:51] Rypervenche: try this: 'tar xvzf filename.tar.gz && echo PASS || echo FAIL' [18:51] greppy: ... but it doesn't seem to matter. It doesn't seem to be talking correctly in ubuntu LTS. [18:52] cognitiaclaeves: then run ssh-add to add the key. [18:52] Rypervenche: oh, with your -C foldername in place [18:52] pvl1: I'm trying to use ssh-agent directly. [18:52] cognitiaclaeves: it was working for me before I changed how I used ssh a little. [18:52] wsirc_4737723: disable all other repos except the dvd...but beware that way you won't get the updates.. [18:52] cognitiaclaeves, maybe you ought to try to compile from source [18:52] greppy: Ubuntu lts ? [18:52] cognitiaclaeves: yes. [18:52] q0z what do you mean with that (mistyped, sdb*) [18:52] cognitiaclaeves: 8.04 and then 10.04 [18:52] cognitiaclaeves, however i think it may be a onfiguration thing [18:53] Rypervenche: this works fine for me [18:53] cognitiaclaeves: if you do ssh-add -l, does it list your keys? [18:53] greppy: Hmm.. source the file. [18:53] can i connect to a microsoft remote desktop from ubuntu? [18:53] mello, yes [18:53] mkanyicy: it says pass [18:53] im having user permission issues with mysqld [18:53] Mello: yes use tsclient [18:53] can i repair these [18:54] greppy: In this case, no; I'm somewhere in between testing where it is broken. Give me a minute. [18:54] cant access files, so therefore cant start mysqld [18:54] Rypervenche: so tar did not fail [18:54] !list [18:54] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot » [18:54] cognitiaclaeves: http://paste.lopsa.org/87 [18:54] mello: not with remote desktop but you can with realvnc and maybe a few others [18:54] Rypervenche: now, have you tried another tar file? [18:54] mattc__, you can only run binaries in the /etc/ dirs with sudo [18:54] silenzio deglia agnelli [18:54] ActionParsnip: ok ty, where do i find it? or is it a terminal program? [18:55] ajitam, i wrote "hm.. then this is definitely not the way to do it, but start up gparted and look at the device format, then mount as usual /dev/sdb[partion #]" , but instead of sdb i mistyped sda [18:55] !it | angelo [18:55] angelo: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [18:55] @mello: you can even use terminal server client, I think. Remote Desktop just needs to be enabled on the windows machine. Although I haven't tried it myself. [18:55] cognitiaclaeves: that is what I have in my .bashrc, run 'agentinfo' once, then ssh-add my keys, voila [18:55] mkanyicy: No, I'll try that. [18:55] greppy: Ok. Thanks. [18:55] ok sorry [18:55] ActionParsnip: found it :9 [18:55] sacarlson: user wants to connect to rdp which tsclient can do :) [18:55] q0z Ohh i get it. problem is that I have only terminal avalible [18:55] hi [18:56] Hi ;) [18:57] sacarlson: umm, apt-get install rdesktop will get you an rdp client that works with windows. [18:57] greppy: yes seems there is a way as actionparsnip point out [18:57] What's the difference between install and just cp-ing? [18:58] ajitam, oh.. thats a bit more tricky.. than start up sudo fdisk /dev/sdb [18:58] I have a question.I am running a 7.1 server edition and am looking to upgrade. The package manager doesnt work (prob due to the age of the distro). Is there an easy way to upgrade without loosing all my settings?

[19:01] Goliath: what ubuntu are you using? [19:01] Rypervenche: I bet [19:01] bonjoyee: 9.10 [19:01] greppy: so give it a try sudo apt-get install tsclient [19:02] Goliath: then you should be using grub2 anyways? [19:02] greppy: I wasn't looking for an rdp client :) [19:02] bonjoyee: but is it stable yet? [19:02] why ubuntu uses grub2 [19:03] hi all, how can I config my usb webcam? lsusb shows it as: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 041e:4043 Creative Technology, Ltd [19:03] Goliath: instead of what? [19:03] Goliath: so does almost every other desktop linux distro..infact next debian stable will use it as well! [19:04] mattc__: which version of ubuntu? [19:04] Goliath: im using it since 9.10, now with debian squeeze, don't have any issues as such.. [19:05] Goliath: what kind of issues are you expecting? [19:05] nothing [19:05] i read that grub2 is still under development [19:05] schnuffle1, the latest stable [19:05] Goliath: Linux is still under development.

Best would be to download the ISOs and create a USB disk of each, try them out and see which one works the fastest. === Guest97037 is now known as ianto [19:19] how can I take off a group a user??? [19:20] how can i tell update manager in ubuntu that i dont want th open office crap updates? [19:20] Rishav_T: ok thank you. i'm reading here that xubuntu is for kids or something? true? [19:20] schnuffle1 : it's also the case on Konqueror, not FF only btw [19:20] Spow: sometimes its caused by too many flash plugins. I've also seen users only get sound with a manual flash install [19:20] !pin | Sirneo [19:20] Sirneo: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [19:21] when i try to edit my web files .... i have to always "sudo" my file.... isn't there a group thing i can do so i don't have to keep doing this? [19:21] ubuntu_: Not really. edubuntu is something meant for educational purposes. Xubuntu just uses a different environment (XFCE rather than GNOME) which is lighter. I haven't used it, but I find its programs (like its filemanager, music player, etc) much faster than those of ubuntu. [19:22] noobie25: which group owns the files? [19:22] can someone find me what the terminal command is to disable and enable wireless with nm-applet? I know about ifconfig down/up, but that's not what I am looking for. [19:22] noobie25: add yourself to the group which owns the folder [19:22] Rishav_T: thank you very much. i'll be getting that now. it's so nice to see such a helpful community to guide new people :D [19:22] schnuffle1: root owns the file....shouldn't it be apache? [19:22] ubuntu_: glad to help :) Actually its my first day on the IRC and feels awesome :) [19:23] Gwar_Trolle: you could use: sudo modprobe -r modulename [19:23] noobie25: you decide who owns the files. apache is running under the user:group www-data:www-data [19:23] ActionParsnip: root owns the directory...shouldn't it be apache? ... how do i add my name to the group? is it chgrp foldername myusername [19:24] Can anyone reccomend a good video editor? Need to simply crop a couple clips and join them together, no frills. [19:24] ActionParsnip: I'm not trying to remove wireless, I am just trying to temp disable it, the same way as if you rclicked nmapplet in the panel and clicked "enable wireless" off [19:24] SuperPaco69: go to system>>administration>>users & groups >> manage groups. There double-click the group and uncheck the user listed, whom you want to remove.. [19:24] Kindari|work: openshot is EPIC no frils [19:24] Gwar_Trolle: replace modulename with the actual module driving the interface [19:24] Kindari|work: KDenLive is also a good one [19:24] Thanks [19:25] Gwar_Trolle: i don't use gui network management much [19:25] ActionParsnip: That seems a little extreme. :( I know it has something to do with Dbus. I had it saved once, but I lost it :( [19:25] schnuffle1: i'm new to web development.... sorry. If I (user_a) owns teh file.....can apache still read the files ok?

[19:27] Gwar_Trolle: how is it extreme? [19:27] SuperPaco69: go to system>>administration>>users & groups >> manage groups. There double-click the group and uncheck the user listed, whom you want to remove..

There double-click the group and uncheck the user listed, whom you want to remove.. [19:27] cryptodira: is there a bug logged? [19:27] Messing with Kernal modules is hardly not :P I know it's a dbus command, just hoping someone knew. Thank ytou for the alternate method though ActionParsnip [19:28] noobie25: normally you change the ownership of the file ou upload to /var/www to www-data. A chown -R www-data:www-data would do it [19:28] ActionParsnip > Okay, so I'd like to try and remove FutureSplash, how do I find the package name associated ? [19:29] surprised that I can't apt-get unionfs-tools from lucid repo... [19:29] wassup with that? [19:29] schnuffle1: what do you have www-data twice? [19:29] Gwar_Trolle: at least you have a method. Its not graceful which is what i think you meant [19:29] hi what good app is there to monitor network traffic in realtime ? [19:29] Spow: scroll up.

Yesterday, my Lenovo t61 got broken, so I switched my SSD into my old t60p. Everything works fine, except playing video. The video shows, but colors arent good (too dark, too much red, barely see-able) [19:51] thanks schnuffle1 [19:51] Most likely, the graphics driver/subsystem has the wrong settings or video driver. What best to do next? [19:52] Encry9, these are all packages that are NOT currently installed.... running amd64 10.04 are these actually required to run google earth, if so, why was that not mentioned during the install? [19:52] Ruudjah: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg-xserver [19:53] how do i see what packages are installed on my machine [19:53] ? [19:53] Games_x2: sudo dpkg -l | less [19:53] schnuffle1: "Package `xorg-xserver' is not installed and no info is available.

[19:55] does anyone know if you can assign more than one group to a directory?

(netbook edition if it matters) [19:56] spacecataz_: only way i to use acl, the partition needs to be mounted with acl enabled [19:57] is* [19:57] ugh, thx schnuffle [19:57] cryptodira: sudo apt-get remove lsb-core then [19:57] can someone find me what the terminal command is to disable and enable wireless with nm-applet? I know about ifconfig down/up, but that's not what I am looking for. It has something to do with dbus. I had it before, but i lost it :( [19:57] also wondering if apache web folder (www) should be assigned to root or www-data group? [19:57] any 'kupfer' alternatives? [19:57] ? [19:58] no luck [19:58] http://imgur.com/stnIq [19:58] spacecataz_: /var/www is normally owned www-data [19:58] for some reason mine is owned by root :/ [19:59] Ruudjah, did you run the command I suggested? [19:59] +i [19:59] Everything else seems to render as expected.

[20:00] yes, after reboot no change in video rendering [20:00] lol, okay. it seems weird to me, why have a www-data group if it's owned by root? :/ [20:01] Ruudjah, you ran the command again after rebooting? [20:01] i ran it before rebooting [20:01] Ruudjah, then try again now please [20:01] I'm afraid [20:01] Gwar_Trolle: what you want is to stop the service of network manager" sudo service network-manager stop / start " i think is the command? [20:01] my irc client is a bit antique, no logs nor history... [20:02] what was the command again? [20:02] Ruudjah, there are channel logs kept for this channel [20:02] Ruudjah, alt f2 metacity --replace [20:02] is there a way to search for a specific thing you have installed? [20:02] bye guys. [20:03] Games_x2: sudo dpkg -l | grep [20:03] seems not to help [20:03] spacecataz_, i belive thats good for a production server, since you will probably have virtual domains which can be owned by somebody else for examples, however for playing around and dev work i'd just chown to www-data, but i'am no expert really... [20:04] someone common with xchat? [20:04] i get the message [20:04] #django :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [20:04] when i try to connect to the channel #django [20:04] brontoeee: i'll give it a try, if it breaks i can always change it back :) [20:04] mkf00, then register [20:04] !register | mkf00 [20:04] mkf00: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

I know about ifconfig down/up, but that's not what I am looking for. It has something to do with dbus. I had it before, but i lost it :( [20:08] Gwar_Trolle: what you want is to stop the service of network manager" sudo service network-manager stop / start " i think is the command? [20:08] guntbert, like alt+f2 in default ubuntu [20:08] So, most likely videoplayback uses hardware acceleration which is where the problem originates [20:08] Ruudjah: if you run: sudo lshw -C display you will see the video chip [20:08] damn it! I can't start my MySQL-server. Please help [20:08] Hi there, Im trying to run a cron job, but nothing is going on. I had never done this before. This is what Im doing: [20:08] ibrahim: type gnome-volume-control and just make sure nothing there sorts the problem ? [20:08] crontab -e [20:08] botcity: No, I just want to stop the wireless, not all networking. Basically I want to do whatever it is the applet does when you rclick it and toggle wireless [20:08] I have ubuntu installed on my EVO phone (My tutorial) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10584098#post10584098 I am installing darwin streaming server and(done it sucsessfuly on my desktp computrs) I get "./Install: line 408: /user/local/bin/qtpasswd: no such file or directory". I installed with and without root priv. and even emulated in qemu, no luck either way. Is it because [20:08] it is in a chroot envirement? is there any work around, (all files and folders belong to root except "home/user". [20:08] ActionParsnip: I found http://embraceubuntu.com/2007/02/18/find-hardware-specs-details-on-your-computer/, sudo lshw -html hardware.html [20:08] */60 * * * * python /home/paolo/django/personal/Sisca/b.py [20:09] But the script is not running at all [20:09] Does anyone know of a decent "10 foot" media center app launcher? Or is there anything easier than hacking at xbmc's home menu to launch something like hulu or netflix? [20:09] Paolo_CT: Perhaps specify full path to python [20:09] can anyone help me with mysql? [20:09] Ruudjah: you can also use: lshw-gtk [20:09] question then becomes how do I install the video driver. I'll google some, and then I'll be back posting results :) [20:09] SoftarPaul: in what sense? [20:09] Gwar_Trolle: its automatic for network-manager no cli for it in 10.04 [20:10] or better: how do I change video driver [20:10] ActionParsnip: Mine isn't working [20:10] I can't start it [20:10] botcity: there is a cli for it. It has something to do with dbus. As i said, I had the command before, but I lost it, and it's like really really long :( [20:10] whomever it was that resolved my problem for me i think it was like jbib1 i forget now but thanks a bunch. [20:11] i also wanted to say that there are a couple of punk ass op's in here and your days are numbered you asswhipes. [20:11] later [20:11] xujbuntu [20:12] SoftarPaul: have you checked your SQL logs to see what's going on [20:12] SoftarPaul: i'd ask in #sql too [20:13] thank's for the tips!

[20:13] Ciphermagi: what video chip are you using? [20:13] !clone [20:13] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [20:13] NVIDIA GeFORCE 9400 GT [20:14] === #sql Cannot send to channel [20:14] why this? [20:14] Ciphermagi: use the hardware driver app under system -> admin [20:14] ci[ [20:14] Ciphermagi: or run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [20:14] Gwar_Trolle: i un-installed it because of its lack of cli support for 10.04 i believe 10.10 has the cli for it sorry if thats not much help id like to know it too though [20:15] SoftarPaul: Identify to services, perhaps. [20:15] What's the 11.04 equivalent of "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers"? [20:15] KB1JWQ: How?

[20:17] I was wondering if I can use a DVD instead of a CD to create a Boot Disk for Ubuntu? [20:17] sorry, I double checked the version. it now says "You are using Ubuntu 10.10". I would swear that was 11.04 last time i checked. [20:17] ActionParsnip: Okay. I have a dozen programs installing right now, so I might come back to you later, if I'm still having issues. [20:17] UbuntuNub: sure, there is a DVD ISO [20:17] What you guys mean with "#ubuntu+1 please"? [20:17] On a side note, if I use the sudo command, can I just del the bin I downloaded?

It is not supported in #ubuntu at this time. [20:18] Ruudjah: probably 'additional drivers' and #ubuntu+1 is a different room for support for not-yes released ubuntu version [20:18] ok [20:18] thanks for your help guys, www-data works fine. [20:18] but I installed 10.10. So I guess I have 10.10, not the 11.04 I previously mentioned. Sorry for misnaming my cur version. Is 10.10 supprted here? [20:18] Ciphermagi: sure, you don't need it, using the packaged method will auto update the driver when the repo gets updated too [20:19] Can I just use the regular ISO file, or would I have to download another one? [20:19] Ruudjah: yes, as it is released officially [20:19] ibrahim: type sudo aplay -l is the card recognized?

[20:31] DevilAsh, nope, irc vlc should be able to play any sort of audio, either pcm, ac3, dts or mp2 [20:32] iuri, live cd? alternate? minimal iso? [20:32] thanks Starminn, i'm taking a look at that link [20:32] greppy: Ah! nice, I'll take a look. Thanks [20:32] brontoeee, i know, that's why i found it odd. i mean, i'm not even pulling any errors or anything, it's just not playing ;_; [20:32] bazhang, nope. I have the iso cd and i wan to run sort of a expert mode as we have in debian [20:32] Is xterm still around? [20:33] ginosal, Yeah, I'd suggest asking somebody else here though. :) I'm only as good as my Google skills as far as that goes. [20:33] and choose only standard and no desktop [20:33] iuri, the alternate is probably what you want ncurses based text installer [20:33] DevilAsh, how about something mplayer based, like smplayer? [20:33] brontoeee, i'll give it a try now and let you know how i get on. [20:34] bazhang, is alternate another iso ? can i run it with the iso i have here? [20:34] i download from oficial site 10.10 [20:34] i downloaded [20:34] iuri, there is an alternate (not the live) and a 20mb minimal iso as well [20:34] !alternate | iuri [20:34] iuri: The Alternate CD is a classic text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [20:34] did you know that you can log in with a live ubuntu usb stick and access NTFS wnidows files on another computer without needing a password?

[20:35] bastidrazor, i have no media to burn it. I have only the cd with 10.10 and i wan to install only the core [20:35] greppy, yeah, basicly [20:36] bazhang, do i have a way out? [20:36] HaPK_PerCar, did you try to edit connections and remove them all on the ubuntu box? and then make new ones? [20:36] HaPK_PerCar, in the network manager i mean [20:36] brontoeee, yes, got all the old ones out [20:36] HaPK_PerCar: do you get an error? does ubuntu see the new wap? [20:37] HaPK_PerCar, what kind of security do you use on your router and does the manager get that right? [20:37] greppy, I can see the network, and I can see that it has a strong signal, I just can't connect to it [20:37] brontoeee, have no security now [20:37] HaPK_PerCar, is your system uptodate? [20:38] brontoeee, yeah, I'm using 10.10, updated yesterday [20:38] HaPK_PerCar, do you use same names for broadcast radio as on your old router? [20:38] brontoeee, yes [20:39] brontoeee, I'm using the same SSID [20:39] HaPK_PerCar, ok, i'd try changing the name, i know its weird, but thats one thing i did to fix my wireless few days ago [20:39] brontoeee it works. how odd, i've never came across something VLC can't play before.

But I'd like to see some formal confirmation of that; System Monitor / System tab says only 10.04 (Lucid). Shell based things don't seem to refer to that at all... GNOME desktop System menu > About Ubuntu also doesn't... thoughts? [20:41] DevilAsh, well, good i guess [20:41] brontoeee, how strange, it worked!

For a GUI try mine, for CLI try his. [21:10] toyotires: you question was *if* you should choose another dns server, now *how* - or did I misread? [21:10] aadem: oops, forgot to ask, do i need to specify a file name for the link, or just where it should go? [21:11] you will specify [21:11] i believe its ln -s linkname directorypath [21:11] but do man ln [21:11] to check [21:11] guntbert, thanks I am getting help on the config of my ubuntu from someone else but thanks for the support [21:11] starminn: thanks. i'm on ssh at the moment.

[21:20] Abhinav1: sudo mount will list you the partitions, look for the partition where the file is on and then you can remount it with mount -o remount,rw /your/patition /mountpoint [21:21] schnuffle1: i thought -o [options] comes after the 2 locations [21:21] i can see http://localhost but i cant see it from the lan ... i have ping to the lan, the others can ping the server and the 80 and 22 are open ports as i see with port scaninig [21:21] GeekyAdam: http://lists.debian.org/debian-firewall/2004/09/msg00009.html <<< [21:21] i.e. mount /your/partition /mountpoint -o [options] [21:21] what package do i need to install to get the glut.h and stuff === N0DEH is now known as CripperZ [21:22] !find freeglut [21:22] Found: freeglut3, freeglut3-dbg, freeglut3-dev, libtaoframework-freeglut-cil-dev, libtaoframework-freeglut2.4-cil [21:22] robtreed [21:22] !find glut.h [21:22] lahwran: I used those commands, but I'm not seeing any more options in CCSM.

[23:16] rumpe1: try what o_o? it says 21gbfilesystem, 125gbfiless, 177gbfilesyste [23:16] manous: Then it will need to be the firewall router that you do it on, (that is if you have one). But again, would have to know your setup. [23:17] does Ubuntu have an app or allowing the syncronising on one system to another ie an Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop sync with an Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook? files, configs etc [23:17] manous: Otherwise, you will need to block it on each individual system. [23:17] brokendatapoint, Ubuntu One [23:17] People, urgent help required. I installed 10.10, but I was dissatisfied with a graphical error that occurred whenever I hibernated and restored several times. So I evacuated my valuable data onto a USB drive and nuked my Ubuntu partition (used Gparted to wipe it completely and place a new ext3 partition in it's place). I have an install disk burned just this morning using Image Burner with a fresh 10.04 LTS image, but this one doesn't even get past [23:17] manous: is your lan dhcp server -> switch > pc > router? [23:17] ah, that's what that is? cool [23:18] arrg... UbuntuNoob and Ubuntu_user ... your nicks are confusing ^^ [23:18] brokendatapoint, Yep. Here's the "official" link, https://one.ubuntu.com/ [23:18] I just installed Ubuntu Studio and I want to connect my Midi keyboard to lmms or another DAW.

[23:19] hi, using "vnstat" i realized that i have a lot of network upload traffic, making approx. 1/5 of my download traffic (140 MB up, 25 MB down). All I do is internet surfing, email etc ... no torrent, no peer-to-peer, whatsoever. Any, why is there so much upload traffic. i understand there is always a certain background level, but 25 MB daily just browsing internet. [23:19] The current one was burned on a new cd using a new image, and the older one worked just fine a few months ago. I really have no clue. [23:19] so how do i mark my steam installer .msi as excicutable so i can play games :D [23:20] so how can i define it on my dhcp server [23:20] ive got wine.

[23:21] manous: If it is only a dhcp server, it won't block anything. Dhcp servers only hand out IP info. A dhcp server's job is not to pass traffic. [23:21] brokendatapoint: i have a wireless keyboard, it has interference. [23:21] LinuxNoob: Precisely how are you trying to execute the file? [23:21] i downloaded the file from steam.com and double clicked on it :D [23:21] manous: you need server dhcp on eth0 > switch > pc and server dhcp eth1 router and you can set iptables for not forward some ip trought router [23:21] LinuxNoob: You need to run it with Wine. [23:21] Anyone? [23:22] manous: Now, on the other hand, if you have, (or if you create), a linux router, you could use it to block an IP. [23:22] LinuxNoob: E.g. from a terminal: wine whateveritscalled.msi [23:22] is there a good way to get 2.6.37 on 10.10? i heard it has serious performance improvements for desktops, especially during file transfers.

[23:49] Confused: We'll never know if you don't ask the question. [23:49] Ivis: yes, well not 720p or 1080p sometimes [23:49] MarkAng, brasero and k3b [23:49] thanks starminn [23:49] Okay, thanks. [23:49] Ivis: what gpu and cpu, also browser aswell [23:50] <``> i almost blew my cpu i like over clocking to the shithouse [23:50] <``> ;-) [23:50] After updating from 8.04 to 10.04, DVD's no longer playback. I get a variety of error messages depending upon what application I am trying to use. libdvdcss4 seems to be working all right. I can see the generated keys. There seems to be some other problem. [23:50] aeon-ltd, gpu 8600 GT , CPU dual core AMD 2.4 GHZ, browser sometimes opera and firefox [23:51] hey all, I have to update apache on a production jaunty machine, and the version I need isn't in the repositories. what's the best way to move forward? I can imagine updating to maverick, finding a non-canonical repository with the right apache version, and reinstalling apache [23:51] !language | `` [23:51] ``: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [23:51] Confused: i'd reinstall the dvd codec package, it may help [23:51] Confused: maybe video driver problem [23:51] I did that, but thanks for hte suggestion. [23:51] shawndrost: jaunty isn't supported anymore [23:51] Confused: Try mplayer or different player and look for errors that will give you a clue.../ [23:51] Ivis: it happens in both? [23:51] The video driver seems all right. I can take a file from a ripped DVD and play it just fine, I just can't play the DVD itself. [23:52] shawndrost: no backport availble? [23:52] shawndrost: so I suggest you upgrade to karmic, lucid or maverick [23:52] chaos2358, Look, I just thought I'd suggest it while other people read your question that way you weren't just stuck waiting. You could try running the programs from the terminal and seeing if they exist. [23:52] aeon-ltd, yes [23:52] Starminn, no I tried the iCan someone please help me???? I am running ubuntu 10.10 in system preferences the following will not work: about me, appearance, assistive technologies, email settings, keyboard, keyboard shortcuts, monitors, network proxy, preffered applications, ubuntu one, windows. and when i say will not work i mean i click to open and nothing at all happens. [23:52] Confused: do all players act the same? [23:52] Confused: Have you tried mplayer? [23:52] Confused: Or....? [23:52] I forgot to ask: I'm running from LiveCD at the moment, can I safely remove the disk and replace it by the soon-to-be-burned disk? [23:53] In the sense that they don't work, yes, they all act the same way. The error messages are different though. [23:53] actionparsnip: yup, I'd like to update, but I'm not familiar with the process. is it likely to bork the machine? that would make me sad. [23:53] Ivis: when running the video, right click toggle acceleration see if it helps [23:53] chaos2358, I'd suggest a complete reinstall. [23:53] MarkAng: no [23:53] chaos2358, Just keep in mind I'll try to help while others more knowledgable than I can chime in. So you've tried running those applications from the terminal, yes? [23:53] Bugger. [23:53] Then how am I supposed to burn the files? Ah well, I'll find a way. [23:53] shawndrost: if the machine is in production, you should really know your way [23:54] DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket [23:54] aeon-ltd, where i can find this function "toggle acceleration ?" [23:54] schnuffle1: jaunty's apt repo only has 2.1.12, and I need 2.1.15 to pass a security scan. I'm told the security backports do not suffice [23:54] Starminn, yes, It tells me the program is not installed and gives a command to install. i enter the command, it says it installs but it still doesnt work [23:54] ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server! [23:54] DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket [23:54] milamber: sorry, but removing gnome-bluetooth didn't helped. the problem is still there. [23:54] <``> @chaos i had that problem a while ago i dont remember ecacly how i fixed it unfortunely if it continues for a few days maybe u can do a fresh install but back your importent files first if u can sorry i can not be more helpfull! [23:54] Those were errors from xine [23:54] Confused: Which player are you using? [23:54] [PROBLEM] Bluetooth dongle dies every few minutes only when using BT mouse http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668076 [23:54] Ah, xine. [23:55] chaos358, Why does it tell you it doesn't work? [23:55] usr13, thanks werked like a charm [23:55] Confused: Have you tried a different player? [23:55] Confused: Like mplayer or vlc? [23:55] tensorpudding: I found the problem, it's here: http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/commercial/ [23:55] chaos2358, Why does it tell you it doesn't work? (typo'd your name) [23:55] I get this message when running xdg-open file:///path/to/home in terminal: gvfs-open: path: error opening: No program registered. Can anyone help me correct this? I can open Nautilus, but Nautilus can't open Videos/Documents etc from any of AWN's menu or folder applets. At #awn I was told it was a problem in Gnome. [23:55] I have all the players I can find, so which would you like to discuss? I don't think that the problem is the player. I think that the different error messages come from the same problem throwing exceptions in the application and each application handling the exceptions differently. [23:56] Yes, I have tried both mplayer and vlc. [23:56] shawndrost: i apache the only service runing? [23:56] Confused: Sure, if they are all failing, that would certainly indicate some underlying problem. [23:56] Starminn, i dont understand what you mean. when try to run it from command it tells me that what i am trying to run is not installed. [23:57] dougl: NP [23:57] Confused: To ask another stupid question: Does the disc work in a different DVD player? (Another computer, etc.) [23:57] Confused: they give same error? [23:57] chaos2358: And when you try to install it what does it say? Does it tell you it has completed installation or does it not act like it? [23:58] I have tried various DVD's and they all fail in the same way on this laptop but not on another laptop using the same version of the same distribution and updated in the same way. [23:58] schnuffle: no, there's mysql, postfix [23:58] schnuffle1: no, there's mysql, postfix [23:58] Confused: Did you run vlc or mplayer from command line? [23:58] Yes [23:58] Starminn, it runs through with the installation precentage, like it is installing and then brings my command entry back just as if it installed correctly [23:59] mplayer exits with an exit status of 0, doesn't print any error message, but doesn't play the DVD.
