[00:02] Simisu: use a linux live CD install on the usb drive write grub that usb drive. [00:02] i made today 4 partitions thinking that linux will re formatt one of the partitions for itself... but it cant use ntfs... [00:02] hey there [00:02] schnuffle it's not a usb drive it's a 1TB external drive [00:02] Simisu: but it can delete one partition and create the necessary ones [00:02] g_0_0 : no network activity... [00:03] Simsu: Alright well you can keep another if you'd like or you can just turn it into unallocated and split it up more. [00:03] I'm having some trouble with my proxy. some programs obey http_proxy in env, some don't. On the desktop I have this tool in System->Preferences->Network Proxy that has an "apply system wide" button which seems to solve it, but I have no idea what it's doing under the hood, and therefore can't apply the same solution on my server [00:03] Simisu: externale means esata or usb? [00:03] usb [00:03] hehe i guess in that sense it\s a usb drive [00:03] sorry..... [00:04] is it possible to install programs when the computer is running in the ubuntu 'demo' mode (where itr runs off the cd w/o installing)? [00:04] fizy[laptop]: yes [00:04] sweet === decaf is now known as Guest97285 [00:04] fizy[laptop]: they won't be there the next time you boot [00:04] thats fine [00:04] Simisu: so you start the live CD, then you start the installer, then you choose your usb drive to install to, then you'll need to delete one partition and install ubuntu to it [00:04] the weirdest thing is happening to my nautilus right now, can anybody help me figure out this problem? [00:05] fizy[laptop]: Yeah. When you boot to the CD next everything will be gone though. It resets every time you boot from it. Nothing it saved [00:05] anyway... i thought this was a more simple issue but i have to go now (it's very late here and i have to go to sleep..) THANKS VERY MUCH EVERYONE :O) i think i'm closer to understanding what i need to do exactly... === Guest97285 is now known as decaf [00:05] thanks schnuffle.. i'll try that!

[00:07] hi all. I'm having a strange issue with my music player, and I incline to belive my hard disk is broken ... I'm using exaile music player, and the music gets stuck on the same directory. Any idea on how to debug this issue? [00:07] theTrav: what means some obey some not, what did you setup anyway? [00:08] namto: Is it in System->Preferences->Bluetooth? [00:08] yes [00:08] schnuffle, in this instance, I see curl uses the proxy, however guy does not [00:08] prodigel: What do you mean by "it gets stuck on the same directory"? [00:08] s/guy/git [00:08] namto: Oh, you're looking for a command to identify it in Terminal or something.. [00:09] ya [00:09] TheCrankyTech, I mean I have a playlist, I try to change to the next (shuffle) track, it does change to a track in the 'sticky' directory, the playlist indicator doesn't advance, the music keeps on playing ... [00:09] i need to us it in minicom [00:09] theTrav: git uses the url given to it, so you could enter the proxy as url to use the proxy [00:09] TheCrankyTech, it's very dubious behavior, haven't met something similar until now [00:10] TheCrankyTech, and youamp-player crashes with segmentation fault usually [00:10] theTrav: and what did you do to force proxy usage, iptables? [00:10] schnuffle: in terms of what I set up, I did a base install from the cd (put in the proxy server where it asked me) installed curl and git from apt [00:11] namto: I can't help you with that. Somebody else may be able to. [00:11] then ran sudo bash < <( curl -L http://bit.ly/rvm-install-system-wide ) [00:11] prodigel: Hmm, that is rather odd, I'll admit. Have you tried starting the playlist from outside of the "sticky" directory and trying to migrate into the sticky? [00:11] in the first instance curl wouldn't find github(bit.ly redirects there) so I exported http_proxy and https_proxy [00:11] theTrav: what means put in a proxy? did you install some proxy software? [00:11] thinks for traying [00:12] schnuffle: internet access on this network requires a proxy [00:12] I've got this samba share mounted automatically from fstab and I can browse it in terminal or in krusader but not in nautilus; oh, and it all started out of the blue. restart doesn't help with the problem. normal connect to server works in nautilus with the same share [00:12] TheCrankyTech, I've loaded a clean playlist, with no track from the 'sticky' directory, and somehow ends up there :) [00:12] theTrav: aaah, now we get closer to your problem :) [00:12] there is a proxy server through which internet requests must be routed [00:12] TheCrankyTech, it's the curse of The Doors :O ;) [00:12] the server is not running the proxy [00:12] hahaha [00:13] sorry for being unclear on that [00:14] theTrav: for git: git config --global http.proxy [00:14] namto, maybe you want lsusb list all usb devices === Bridge|A is now known as Bridge| [00:15] schnuffle: thanks, that's probably a solution for this problem, however I'd expect the same problem to turn up every time I use anything new that needs internet [00:15] hey i have a few questions bouncing all over the place [00:15] the gnome network proxy app seems to have a way of solving it for all things [00:15] with that magical "apply system wide" button [00:15] how do/what is the best way for me to put my tmp/ into my home partition?

[00:46] "D [00:46] :D [00:46] anyone in 10.10 wanta type echo bla > somefile ; tar cJvf test.tar.xz somefile [00:46] and paste the result? [00:47] sabgenton: expecting a bug? [00:47] sabgenton: I got "somefile" [00:47] minitube says to update to the new version. the new version downloaded is a tar.gz. how do i go abouts updating with that? [00:47] yes [00:47] lexvegas: so ubuntu regressed? [00:47] / state whether a file named test.tar.xz actually gets created [00:47] lexvegas: as that seems to be the case from what i can tell [00:47] anybody? :v [00:47] comon it's not that hard [00:47] psyklown: unzip it? :P [00:47] is there any way to make files names starting with _ be at the top of nautilus? because im a python programmer and it ticks me off how the __init__.py file is in with the i's, not at the top like in windows [00:48] ergZay: I actually havent ever used the auto partitioning, so I dont know. [00:48] psyklown: and read the README [00:48] bushman yeah but wouldnt i need to extract the contents to the directory where minitube is? [00:48] Bushman, sounds about right, i'm just an optimist :) [00:48] * omarmt22 alguien me podria ayudar para reinstalar ubuntu sobre ubuntu? [00:49] lexvegas: so i ahve a chunk of freespace after lots of windows related parititions, do i just create a swap parittion at end of disk a bit larger than my RAM? and use the rest for disk? [00:49] reinstall, of course .. [00:49] just two? [00:49] eduardwisernig: know what differs optimist from pesimist? [00:49] !pastebinit | sabgenton [00:49] sabgenton: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [00:49] Bushman, check this out, mounting another partition on the same computer (C$ instead of D$) works without a problem, this is pretty f*ed up right here... [00:49] eduardwisernig: pesimist is just a well informed optimist [00:49] psyklown: did you read the docs? [00:49] Bushman, hahaha, heard it before; still, a good one [00:49] thanks [00:50] ergZay: yeah, although if you have more than two windows partitions, create the ubuntu partitions as extended instead of logical. [00:50] lexvegas: whys that [00:50] bushman it just gives me the changes made, copy right and licensing that i see [00:50] ubiquity couldnt install grub on /dev/sda... how could i install it manually? [00:50] then you'r reading the wrong file [00:51] ergZay: a HDD can only have 4 "main" partitions, and whatever extended ones you have only count as one. [00:51] is there any way to make files names starting with _ be at the top of nautilus? because im a python programmer and it ticks me off how the __init__.py file is in with the i's, not at the top like in windows [00:51] psyklown: i don't know what minitube is but if you downloaded an update, there should be some install notes on the author's page, rite? === richard is now known as Guest66562 [00:51] Starminn: did it report an error?

[01:08] yeah [01:08] dmkryl, if you press tab twice in the /media/ dir is there anything ? [01:08] sabgenton: well, it apears it's not in 10.04 [01:08] eduardwisernig: I only know of a kludge way. Try killing nautilus then starting it again. If that fails (because nautilus respawns automatically), remove executable bit from nautilus, kill nautilus, restore executable bit, and start nautilus in terminal [01:08] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tar/+bug/385624 [01:08] eduardwisernig, nautilus is so embedded in gnome that it's preferable to purge without gnome [01:08] jrib, sorry, i know what you mean, i was confused because i get no error or message after starting nautilus [01:09] If mohamedsucks comes back, show him https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CitrixICAClientHowTo [01:09] sabgenton: ok i try it again no error [01:09] jrib, sounds fair, i'll do this [01:09] did it make a tar.xz ?

[01:10] Hi, I'm trying to help an Ubuntero who has a problem about k3b that cannot use cdrecord suid from kernel 2.6.8 (he's using 10.04). The only notable difference (apart from software versions) I see is: there's a '+' at the end of 'ls -l /dev/cdrom'. What does that mean? Is it related to SELinux? [01:10] edwardteach: sda2 and sdcard [01:10] (usr13): it's a usenet downloader [01:10] *The only difference from my Maverick system === marc is now known as Guest16862 [01:11] dmkryl, and cd into it the sdcard and press tab twice does not show your files!

[01:12] sabgenton: i'm on 10.04 maybe there is a bug on maverik? [01:12] exutux: have you updated to the latest point release? [01:12] nope, fresh install [01:13] (usr13): both interfaces have net access, but wlan0 is external only [01:13] when? [01:13] did u install [01:13] sabgenton: Ubuntu?? [01:13] is it 10.04.1 or .2 [01:13] 'when' [01:13] edwardteach: no it shows all linux commands and ls doesn't show anything [01:13] sabgenton: .2 [01:13] ah [01:13] must be fixed then [01:13] .2 even out [01:13] ?

[01:14] Dementio: I think we would need more information about your LAN and WAN in order to give you any useful advise.

I've seen the '+' show up when ACLs are in effect.

[01:17] sabgenton: peraphs you need to upgrade [01:17] and whats the terminal server client and remote desktop viewer i see in the menus [01:17] (usr13): i want it so sabnzmd uses only wlan0 so it doesn't saturate my internal network. need eth0 isolated so only my computers can access my shares [01:17] jrib: Ok, thanks [01:18] Dementio: If your default route is accessable via wlan0, then it should just go there, (unless there is and IP conflict). [01:18] jrib, followed the instructions in order but the problem persists [01:18] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tar/+bug/385624 is fixed then [01:18] exutux: you could report it to be fixed [01:18] info is so intuitive... *cough* [01:18] heh [01:18] eduardwisernig: but did you get output in the terminal? [01:18] jrib, will try to reinstall nautilus from safe mode, outside gnome, maybe it helps [01:19] Dementio: In other words we would also need to know what route(s) you have set up on this machine, and/or the default gw.

[01:20] as it is a drop in replacement [01:20] jrib, shouldn't the terminal own nautilus? [01:20] eduardwisernig: sounds ok [01:20] jrib, I expect it to find all occurances of a string in files and override those files. [01:21] can i use the remote desktop viewer to connect to my lucid laptop from my desktop on a lucid vm and see how a program i have running is doing? [01:21] is it better to go with 64bit since i have a 64bit operating system and 6 gigs of ram or should i go with the 32bit ubuntu [01:21] iszak: why not use sed -i instead of the redirection? [01:22] jrib, will try to reinstall nautilus from safe mode, outside gnome, maybe it helps [01:22] the -i option is deprecated [01:22] jrib, ^ [01:22] jrib, thanks for the help nonetheless [01:22] iszak: who says?

[01:22] jrib, nvm thinking of xargs [01:22] Starminn:sorry you where telling me what I wanteded [01:22] sabgenton: maybe you have xz-lzma installed? [01:23] sabgenton: No problem. [01:23] Starminn: it worked and made a tar.xz for you I think [01:23] :) [01:23] wasn't thinking [01:23] jrib, will look into that, thanks. [01:24] exutux: either way it's anoying and is not an isuse in your .2 relase [01:24] iszak: I think with -i, you will have an easier time. My guess is that the redirection is happening at the end like: (grep blah | xargs blargh) > file. Do you have a "filename" file? :P [01:24] jrib, filename is a variable/token that xargs uses [01:24] has anybody tried to run mobile (jar/jad) mobile java applications in linux? Do I need some mobile java emulator, or do It should run under regular java or openjava? [01:24] iszak: yes, but not if what I just said is happening [01:24] no I don't have a filename file. [01:25] which architexture should i go with 32bit ubuntu or 64bit ubuntu [01:25] exutux: neather is installed [01:26] iszak: I get one when I run something similar here :/ [01:26] jrib, oh [01:26] jrib, you're right, ya. [01:26] jrib, why doesn't xargs replace the instance of filename? [01:26] Dementio: Something like: iptables -t nat -A INPUT -i wlan0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 8080 -j DROP #Now I'm just guessing here.... not sure exactly. [01:27] jrib, and how do I use the -i option, I tried like sed -i *.php 's/foo/bar/g' [01:27] * sabgenton rushes to .2 [01:27] iszak: sed -i 's/foo/bar/' filename [01:27] Dementio: But there is more-than-likely a way to do what you want via iptables rules. [01:27] jrib, I don't want to manually have to input all the filenames though. [01:28] iszak: note, if you want backups, you can pass a suffix to -i [01:28] exutux: thanks again [01:28] dmkryl, whats your system computer laptop ? model? [01:28] Question, Wich is beter openbox or fluxbox? [01:28] Starminn: thanks again [01:28] jrib, I want to find multiple files and replace all instances of a string inside them [01:28] sabgenton: Where's the file at? [01:28] sabgenton: np [01:28] jrib, will that command do such a thing? [01:28] edwardteach: acer aspire 4736z [01:28] distort3d: That's like saying, which is better Ford or Chevy? [01:28] vinagre (gnome vnc-viewer) breaks in ubuntu10.10 if you install gtk3.0-dev from ubuntuupdates. [01:29] and in theory I should be able to omit the > [01:29] edwardteach: ubuntu 10.10 [01:29] iszak: right, so change your command to: grep -lr "search" ./ | xargs -I filename sed -i 's/search/replace/g' filename [01:29] usr13 well maybe are there some diffrent. [01:29] ah yes, go figure. [01:29] Is this still an issue with Ubuntu 10.04 and newer? http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/linux-dist.html#packages [01:29] dmkryl, ok on min [01:30] thanks jrib, love you <3 [01:30] has anybody tried to run mobile phone java (jar) applications on linux? [01:30] iszak: <3 [01:30] jenia: jar is not mobile phone apps [01:30] jar is a java runtime [01:31] rcmaehl: I believe Android's java code isn't portable to other JRE [01:31] rcmaehl: well, those java apps that you download for mobile phones (they have extension .jar), is it possible to run them in linux? [01:32] jenia: i don't think so [01:32] jenia: no [01:32] jenia: java -jar file.jar doesn't work? [01:32] What is the name of the program in Ubuntu which lets you change screen configurations [01:33] jrib, say I'm starting a program from CLI like nautilus and I'm doing nautilus /path/to/directory &, it still outputs things to the terminal, how to prevent that? [01:33] jenia: they are built from the android sdk, and can be run in an emulator [01:33] those java programs are J2ME [01:34] What is the name of the program in Ubuntu which lets you change screen configurations [01:34] iszak: you could use nohup and then output would go to a file nohup creates (and you'd have the added benefit of not having nautilus close when you close your terminal), or you could append 2>&1 > /dev/null to your command [01:34] chez: if you have a nvidia graphics card it's nvidia-settings [01:34] jrib, nah I don't no output, thanks for the later command! [01:34] Lancelot: no its the one in the menu === carlos is now known as Guest61451 [01:35] chez: diaplay? [01:35] display* [01:35] jrib, is there any shortcut for that 2>&1 > /dev/null seems like a PITA To type. [01:35] Lancelot: yeah put that isnt the full name is it [01:35] iszak: I think &> /dev/null works too (we're redirecting stdout and stderr) [01:35] chez: display should be under system > preferences [01:36] Lancelot: yeah im on arch but i want to find out what that progam is [01:36] jrib, great! perfect, thanks. [01:36] chez: gnome-display-properties [01:36] I think [01:36] Lancelot: thanks [01:36] hi everyone, quick question, is there a channel for linux vitalization software? [01:36] jrib, except it takes power over the terminal, so hmm [01:36] iszak: you still need the & at the end [01:36] oh, gotcha [01:37] Lancelot: well there is #virtualbox [01:37] jrib++ [01:37] Lancelot: and #qemu [01:37] Cpudan80, I'm trying to pick one to try out [01:37] * jrib notes he messed up the redirection order in the original suggestion to iszak :/ [01:38] Lancelot: The only real option for a linux host is VirtualBox [01:38] VMWare is a proprietary mess [01:38] Cpudan80, isn't that written by Sun? [01:38] It was, now done by oracle [01:38] VMWare also costs money [01:38] oh right, they got bought [01:38] THere is a free thing - but it sucks [01:38] it can't create new machines [01:39] all it can do is run pre-made VMs [01:39] No - it can do pretty much anything you need it to - but the interfaces just suck [01:39] VBox is good [01:39] what was the free one? [01:39] jrib, okay i've got another one for you if you're up for it? [01:39] vmware player? [01:39] VirtualBox (aka VBox) Lancelot [01:39] iszak: if I know, sure [01:39] Oh VMWare player yeah is free [01:39] no, I mean the VMWare one [01:39] virtualbox OSE [01:39] k [01:39] I'll take a look at it [01:40] I've been wanting to try out other distros [01:40] Again - I wouldnt recommend VMware - but to each his own [01:40] eh, I don't have a copy anyway [01:40] jrib, I want to find all files and directories that contain a string (find -name "*string*") obv. and then mv them to a new path with a different string. [01:40] if VBox works I'm happy [01:40] Lancelot: VBox is going to be easier to install (should just be sudo apt-get install virtualbox) [01:40] VBox can't aero [01:40] True [01:41] Not many people have enough juice in their box to run a 7 or Vista VM though [01:41] I wouldn't [01:41] well, I could [01:41] it just wouldn't do much [01:41] ubuntu has virtualbox now? I thought it was only virtualbox-ose by default? [01:41] reed1: The newest version has hardware acceleration [01:41] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_box [01:41] iszak: if the find command returns foo/file1 and bar/file2 do you want them both to go to directory C as C/file1 and C/file2, or...? [01:41] ziller: I don't know it was a guess at the package name [01:41] the picture is vbox running fedora in linux [01:41] Cpudan80: still no aero dude... [01:41] Windows7 and Vista are quite the resource hogs. [01:42] yeah, it's virtualbox-ose [01:42] yup [01:42] Anybody get Sprint EVDO to actually connect and browse using Maverick without any kind of special packages like KPPP ? [01:42] usr thats why I use win xp :P [01:42] but windows has its uses [01:42] My EVDO device is connecting, but not browsing [01:42] windows 7 is far better than vista [01:42] hey guys [01:42] nor pinging [01:42] but it could be better [01:42] I just killed aero and all the new crap, [01:42] hello [01:42] can someone help me to set up a printer on my network plz [01:42] Lancelot: What uses? (I don't seem to find any) [01:42] games [01:42] and programming microcontrollers [01:42] i really need to put the printer on the network for both windos and linux users [01:43] and programming some stuff [01:43] Lancelot: I have a windows box here that I almost never use? [01:43] i am search to utility that can graph serious of number in real time [01:43] usr13, I find it easier to run windows stuff in windows rather then messing with WINE [01:43] usr13, I don't go on it too often myself, maybe once a week [01:43] Lancelot: You can not program microcontrolers [01:44] anyone kno how to set up a printer on the network [01:44] > [01:44] usr13, what? [01:44] Lancelot: You can not program microcontrolers via linux [01:44] usr13, that's why I use windows to do it [01:44] Lancelot: (sorry, was on the phone and lost my train of thought...) [01:44] Lancelot: You can not program microcontrolers via linux? [01:45] usr13, I haven't been able to get MPlab to work [01:45] Lancelot: Sorry, again, I lost my trian of thought and left out the ? [01:45] usr13, WINE was being silly, so I just stick to windows. It's easier [01:45] avr-gcc works... [01:45] Lancelot: I suppose your computer needs and mine are not same. [01:46] edwardteach: i need to restart due to old system upgrade brb === jwkokc is now known as jk_ [01:46] what do I do if I just accidentally removed all users from the sudoers group? [01:46] usr13, yeah, it varies. I only use windows for windows programs === ramseize is now known as Ramseize [01:46] itaylor57: those jars were run way before android ever existed by java enabled phones, like mine a smartphone with java. Do you know the name of the emulator? [01:47] UnderSampled: put them back (use recovery mode in grub menu to run: sudo adduser USERNAME admin) [01:48] My computer doesn [01:48] anyhow, I'm off now, bye everyone.4 [01:48] 't hibernate or suspend correctly [01:48] How do I fix it? [01:48] I have 4 entries for the Linux Kernel (not counting safe mode) on my GRUB bootloader. Suggestions on trimming them down? [01:49] bastidrazor, it gave me "Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from file.jar" [01:49] jrib will that overwrite the group- backup file? [01:49] Starminn: delete them? [01:49] Starminn: remove the corresponding linux-image-* package. WARNING: do not remove all of your kernels :P [01:49] UnderSampled: why does that matter? [01:49] jrib: How might I do that? [01:50] how do I change the resolution if I'm not using x [01:50] Starminn: use your favorite apt front-end (for example: synaptic) [01:50] and will never use x [01:50] jrib: because the way I accedentally removed myself from sudoers was by getting rid off all my groups [01:50] !tty| The_Tick [01:50] The_Tick: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. [01:50] jrib so I need to revert to back then [01:50] group-wise [01:50] UnderSampled: I'm not sure how group- is created nor modified [01:50] jrib: Alright, thanks./ === Rez is now known as Guest11013 [01:51] I set up a PAE but it's not registering the extra RAM still (though I do boot from the PAE version of the kernel). [01:51] UnderSampled: you can make a backup of course and then find out! [01:51] jrib: how, that requires sudo [01:51] jrib: Groups can be created by root with command groupadd [01:51] UnderSampled: in recovery mode [01:52] What is the easiest way to make all your passwords available across internet (on different devices)? [01:52] usr13: I think UnderSampled means he just removed his user from all the groups but did not actually delete the groups themselves; is that correct, UnderSampled ? [01:52] UnderSampled: Yea, as jrib says, in recovery mode, (which is essentially single user mode or root) [01:52] yes [01:52] drat. I can't turn off the computer safely without sudo [01:52] jrib, sorry got distracted, that use case shouldn't occur. [01:52] Hello, how would i find my DNS domain and search domain? [01:52] UnderSampled: you're not using X? [01:52] jrib: no [01:52] iszak: I'm not sure what you want to do [01:53] i wonder if you can use su? [01:53] but shutting down still requires root access [01:53] whoever reccomended klamav to me a few days ago, thank you so much. it says my ipod has 11 viruses on it. ill let you know in a minute if my pc will recognize it again. sorry i cant remember your name [01:53] UnderSampled: you can shutdown from gnome because gdm runs as root [01:53] jrib, ok [01:53] jrib: UnderSampled If that is the case UnderSampled will only need to edit /etc/group and add his user to appropriate groups. [01:53] but I'm still not runnign X [01:53] jrib, I find to find all say files and folders with a particular string e.g. "foobar" and move it to "foobaz" instead. [01:53] hey guys can u help me set up a printer on my home network [01:53] what's the magical SysRq keystring for turning off safely again? [01:54] usr13: if he wants, but I'd suggest just using adduser to prevent further problems :) [01:54] fizy[laptop]: You're welcome. It was me and somebody else. I just don't remember their name :) [01:54] nicolaus: No, you have to do it yourself. :) [01:54] hi all! i have found a little security issue in 10.10, i don't think it is a bugg, it looks more like something people that always use the terminal will omit.... now i'm thinking maybe it's better to give this issue to someone directly concerned about fixing it, to avoid having it exploited before you can give an update. where should i adress myself? [01:54] i mean can someone show me how to do it [01:54] usr13: raising elephants is so utterly boring? But just use gdm... [01:54] tell me the steps to follow === zz_hsa2 is now known as hsa2 [01:54] nicolaus: Is it a network printer? [01:55] nicolaus: Or is it connected to one of the PCs on your lan? [01:55] Sakrecoer: you can file a security bug in bugs.ubuntu.com. If you want to pm me, I will give you feedback on what I think [01:55] usr13: Its connected to one of the printers on my lan [01:55] jrib, makes sense? [01:56] nicolaus: Please re-write your last statement so that we can understand better. [01:56] jrib: thanks [01:56] iszak: do you mean you want to rename all the files? But not actually move their location? [01:56] the printer is connected to one computer on my home network [01:56] nicolaus: Is that one computer able to print to it now? [01:56] jrib, well essentially a rename is a move, isn't it? [01:57] yes it can [01:57] iszak: I'm just trying to understand better what you want [01:57] its an ubuntu machine too and it can print fine [01:57] nicolaus: Then just tell it to share the printer via the printer configuration menu. [01:57] jrib, I want to find all filese and folders with a particular string, and rename them to be without that particular string. [01:57] iszak: you can either use « rename » or find with -exec [01:57] then how do the other computers connect [01:57] nicolaus: And it will help if that computer has a static IP so that the other computers can find it easier. [01:58] nicolaus: Via the IP of that computer. [01:58] jrib, I just usually use move to rename, is there a problem with that? (any adverse affects) [01:58] I just got Google Chrome running on Ubuntu and the font seems really small [01:58] I've tried changing it in the options but makes no difference [01:58] how do i find the ip of the computer with terminal [01:58] nicolaus: Actually, it may already be shared by default. [01:58] what do i type in terminal [01:58] iszak: no, you are correct that renaming is essentially a mv (I just wasn't sure about what you wanted to do) [01:58] i set the printer to share [01:59] how do i make the other computers connect? [01:59] nicolaus: Then just go to one of the other computers and tell it where the printer is. (The IP address). [01:59] jrib, okay well how would I do it? find -name "*string*" | xargs -I filename mv filename (how to put filename with replaced string here) [01:59] g'day [01:59] which settings i must look in [01:59] i was trying to print from open office but it didnt work [02:00] jrib, I heard you can use backticks to perform like a sub-command e.g. mv filename `sed 's/string/replacement/g'` [02:00] how do i set up a network with ubuntu [02:00] ? [02:00] nicolaus: But first set the computer the printer is connected to to a static IP. You can do that on the computer or on the router, your choice. [02:00] iszak: $() is better [02:00] iszak: you always choose the hard way -_- I would do: rename --no-act 's/foo/bar/g' **/*foo* [02:00] i dont understand how to do that [02:00] haha [02:00] jrib, I can't help it! === ledah is now known as dmledah [02:00] iszak: mv filename $(sed 's/string/replacement/g') === dmledah is now known as darkkam === darkkam is now known as ledah [02:01] azizLIGHTS, oh interesting, thanks will keep that in mind next time. [02:01] iszak: this is bash tip [02:01] jrib, I guess I don't know the rename command well enough to use it effectively. [02:01] a bash tip [02:01] edwardteach: hey i'm dmkryl for some weird reason i can't connect as dmkryl [02:01] iszak: $() will let you use quotes inside it [02:02] Ok it's a font problem, where can I download the Microsoft fonts for Ubuntu? [02:02] azizLIGHTS, so I can do like $(cat filename | sed s/string/replacement/g) ? where filename is an xargs variable/token/alias [02:02] Vustom: They're proprietary. YOu have Windows on a different partition though? [02:02] no need to cat, echo I meant [02:02] "YOu have Windows on a different partition though?"? [02:03] !register dmkryl, [02:03] Vustom: Are you dual-booting or just Ubuntu or what? [02:03] Side-by-side [02:03] with Windows Vista [02:03] !register dmkryl, [02:03] !register| dmkryl, [02:04] dmkryl,: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [02:04] lol [02:04] iszak: ask #bash for more info on that, im not a full expert ) [02:04] I don't like bash, too restricted. [02:04] iszak: but i do know $() > backticks [02:04] Vustom: Super. So you're dual-booting, meaning Vista is on a different partition (for future reference. Well, assuming you didn't use WUBI which if you don't know what it is you didn't use it). All you'll need to do is copy/paste them [02:04] azizLIGHTS, will keep that in mind. [02:05] I need some help! What I want to do is host an IRC chat on my computer so me and my friends can talk on it on occation. The problem is, I've only got a basic idea of how IRC works and am having trouble figuring out what to do... [02:05] o [02:05] can you walk my thru it.. im rly new to ubuntu [02:05] only installed it like an hour ago [02:05] Vustom [02:06] Vustom: So, you open up your Windows partition in Nautilus (your file browser), so you go to Places->xxxGB Filesystem [02:06] Vustom: have you tried installing mstcorefonts? === ron_ is now known as rbetzen [02:06] ChogyDan: nope [02:06] Starminn, one moment.. trying to figure out how to open the file browser :D [02:06] Vustom: Yeah I know. I helped you with your barrage of questions a few nights ago lol. So you just go to WINDOWS, then Fonts, then copy/paste to /home/.fonts in Ubuntu [02:06] edwardteach: i believe i found the problem, this is what dmesg | tail put out: mmc0: error -110 whilst initialising SD card [02:07] how do i set my linux computer to have a static ip? [02:07] Vustom: Try this: Places->Home Folder [02:07] kk :D [02:07] im at WINDOWS>Fonts [02:07] how do i set my ubuntu to have a static ip [02:07] ? [02:07] Ctrl+A and Copy em all? [02:08] Vustom: See that? That's Nautilus. It's like Windows Explorer but for Ubuntu. Anyway, yeah, CTRL+A to grab them all, yep. [02:08] now what :D [02:08] Is there any reason I shouldn't just " cp /etc/group- /etc/group " [02:08] Vustom: Then you go to Places->Home folder and hit "CTRL+H" to show all hidden folders (folders starting with a period "." are hidden in Linux [02:09] if I accedentally removed myself from all of my groups? [02:09] Vustom: Whoops, I missed Shift and hit Enter. Anyway, go to the ".fonts" folder. If one doesn't exist, make one [02:09] Vustom: Then you just "CTRL+V" them all in there. And you're done. [02:09] Vustom: After you copy all of the fonts you want, head over to your "home folder", in Places > Home Folder xD... Create a folder named ".fonts" and copy them inside. Then go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and run "sudo fc-cache -f -v" That command will refresh your fonts, and you will be able to use all of them [02:10] no .fonts folder is there so ill create one :D [02:10] There you go, Vustom. vulpine_'s got you taken care of. :) [02:10] how can i hide all those folders again [02:10] ? [02:10] Vustom: The ".fonts" folder doesn't come by default in the newer versions of Ubuntu any longer [02:11] Press "Ctrl + H" [02:11] im to fast [02:11] just tried that [02:11] :D [02:11] Vustom: Yeah, the mstcorefonts don't include all that come with your system though to my knowledge. (Hit CTRL+H to hide them again. Option's also in the View menu) [02:11] Damn right you are cowboy [02:11] ;D [02:11] ANYWAYS [02:11] I did "top" and there's this thing called multiload-apple that comes and goes. What is it? Ubuntu 10.04 [02:11] Vustom: Then to make sure you have them, fire up GIMP or OpenOffice or something and look if you can select the fonts you're looking for [02:12] now I need some halp. :( [02:12] I need some help! What I want to do is host an IRC chat on my computer so me and my friends can talk on it on occation. The problem is, I've only got a basic idea of how IRC works and am having trouble figuring out what to do... [02:12] hey when using the mv -v command how can i see what speed something is transferring at? [02:13] hi folks, how can i establish the sound slider/control into the top panel without having the entire sound control page instead?? [02:13] Starminn i will restart the browser to see if i can change the fonts :D [02:13] @Doonz try reading some of "man mv" <-- type it in the terminal ;P [02:14] alrighty then [02:14] .Vustom: Earlier vulpine_ said to do this: "Then go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal and run "sudo fc-cache -f -v" That command will refresh your fonts, and you will be able to use all of them" so try that if it doesn't work right away (for me it worked as son as I added them) [02:15] i wish someone was interested in installing ubuntu on their smartphone i did and i love it as a matter of fact im using it now [02:15] ledah, yeah i was going to get you to take out the card type udevadm monitor in a terminal then ask you to re insert the sd , should printout device specific info !? [02:15] we know, you keep telling us. [02:15] you should try it! [02:16] Homefix: Yeah, this is what the third day in a row you've told us? [02:16] [PROBLEM] Bluetooth dongle dies every few minutes only when using BT mouse http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668076 [02:16] 2 days [02:16] Vustom: Rebooting your computer also refreshes your fonts. Also, do you intend for those fonts to be used by users other than yourself? As when you put then into the ".fonts" directory they become availiable to only the user who's home folder their in [02:16] I'm running lucid. When I log in, my sound balance control is all the way to the left, yet when my wife logs in to her desktop, it's normal. What might be my problem? [02:16] Homefix, My mistake, bad memory. :) Either way, you should try #ubuntu-offtopic [02:16] hey [02:16] have a few prob need smart guys or gals to help me [02:17] ok ill try that [02:17] the fonts are working, but the text in the browser still seems rly tiny [02:17] :O [02:17] So long everyone, I must be peacing.., ;D [02:17] I am having an issue upgrading to 64 bit version or linux [02:17] Vustom: What browser? You can change font size in System->Preferences->Appearance [02:18] are you familure with chroot? [02:18] !who | Homefix [02:18] Both firefox and chrome [02:18] Homefix: 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 :) [02:18] It's on Arial 16 but 17 is too big [02:18] anyone [02:18] maybe i just need to get used to it [02:18] :) [02:18] Homefix, Oh, haha. "you" made it seem like it was to one person. Sorry, and no I'm not [02:19] also [02:19] for an example [02:19] anyonek [02:19] ledah, got to go back tomorrow [02:19] text menus in Office Impress are garbled. Anyone seen that before ? [02:19] Vustom: To me it was too big by default, so go figure. There are places you can change it though. [02:19] soory dnt mean that [02:19] when I move my Google Chrome browser to the middle of the screen, when I restart the browser it goes back to the top left of the screen [02:19] is it meant to do that [02:20] i dont think there is any window history.. [02:20] would anyone know anything about why my system i not recognizing ISO as a valid file format [02:20] Can I configure a filesystem encryption when installing ubuntu from the live cd, or I have to do a netinst? [02:21] are the file associations correct [02:21] yeah [02:21] I downloaded the iso from the ubuntu site [02:21] Vustom: Yes. That's how it's supposed to go. Try this: Open up a ton of windows in Nautilus. Just open your Home folder 7 times. === jsurfer_ is now known as jsurfer [02:21] Vustom: It's "smart" in that, unlike Windows where they overlap, it moves them to convenient places so you can more easily see everything [02:22] @warlock your system doesn't recognize it, or the program? assuming you are running ubuntu? [02:22] .. now what? [02:22] i have 7 of em :D [02:22] question what does !tab mean ? --- context was in ubottu response to !who [02:22] I am running ubuntu it does not recognize iso format is says i have to manually set it [02:23] Hello world! [02:23] @lcaputo is says i have to manually set it [02:23] Vustom: I was just pointing out that they move out of the way for each other so you can see whatever you just opened up. [02:24] goto MachintoshCJ.tk [02:24] @warlock give me a second.. im looking through a few bugs to see if they are related to your issue. [02:24] ok, so it seems that despite having it in my .bashrc and doing an export, sudo env | grep proxy does not contain my http_proxy variable [02:24] ohok [02:24] !tab | tripelbb [02:24] tripelbb: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [02:24] @icaputo thank you [02:24] bye [02:24] i need to put it in /etc/profile? [02:25] my /dev now shows sd[a-h][1-15] anyone have this issue before [02:25] Starminn, my home folders overlap when I open up a set of them. Ubuntu 10.04 **** I tried it after you mentioned it. [02:25] Vustom: I agree. Sometimes it does get annoying (you never know where something will open up), but it is nice because it doesn't cover things like in Windows. You can disable it somewhere (I saw it earlier today) but give it some time and you'll get used to it. To align windows to a corner or side, hold in "Shift" while dragging it and it will auto-align. [02:26] how do i create a network password [02:26] someone gave me the code [02:26] sudo smbpassword a- username [02:26] any automated way to check a list of packages for reported bugs? [02:26] is something wrong with that [02:26] ? [02:26] Starminn, re tab, oh that. thanks for telling me. I'll know how to "check it myself" next time too. [02:26] i want to create a network password === tripelbb is now known as tripelb [02:26] Can I configure a filesystem encryption with the live cd install? [02:26] tripelbb: Yeah, they overlap but they get out of eachothers' way. A better example would be for me to say this: "Open up your Home folder. Move it to the left. Open up another Home see where it goes. Move both of them to the right andopen another. See where it goes" [02:27] hmm, profile didn't work [02:27] does sudo even have a .bashrc? [02:27] there's no home/root or home/sudo [02:27] Starminn i thought you said OverFAP first...hahaha [02:28] Vustom: Something else that you'll like enjoy quite a bit is if you have more than one window open you don't have to focus them to scroll. Just scroll normally. You'll wonder how you ever got along without it. :) [02:28] any automated way to check a list of packages for reported bugs? [02:28] :D [02:28] @lcaputo when i try and open the iso it says Short read old image [02:28] theTrav: root's home directory is /root [02:28] will be pasting it from time to time if you guys dont mind :P [02:28] :O [02:28] hey warlock, are you getting my private messages? [02:28] ooo [02:28] no [02:28] user0: every 15 minutes or so is fine ;P [02:28] hi, i'm making a bootable usb drive for when I want to diagnoise issues and I was wondering if there is a CD image with both the alternative installer as well as the live installer [02:29] bummmmer [02:29] lol [02:29] okay standby warlock [02:29] alright [02:29] rww : so you're a member ah? [02:29] i can give you more info on what archive manager says [02:29] user0: of Ubuntu? yes [02:29] rww : and that means what exactly? that you're a ubuntu user? [02:29] ideas? [02:30] ubottu: tell user0 about membership [02:30] user0, please see my private message [02:30] rad, there's a /root/.bashrc file, I'll try putting http_proxy in there [02:30] warlock - what program are you using to open your iso with? [02:30] nice bot [02:30] heh [02:30] #ardour [02:30] anyone here from malaysia [02:30] well i am its trying to use archive manager for some reason [02:30] hmm, still no good [02:31] and you are just trying to burn it to a cd, or flash drive? [02:31] flash drive [02:31] okay [02:31] well external hard drive [02:31] evening all. whats the best method to install a lamp type server, (really just http and php) on ubuntu desktop. gui control panel prefered thanks [02:31] Starminn, thanks. for some reason I copied and pasted all of your conversation because I thought something might be "for me" in it. (I find I can read smaller fonts in Windows XP than I can read in Ubuntu. I'm not sure what the difference is in the "quality" of the fonts. [02:31] rww : and what was your contribution ? [02:32] user0: local community advocacy and IRC support [02:32] any automated way to check a list of packages for reported bugs? [02:32] ahh, there's a return in there [02:32] maybe I just need to move it up [02:32] thats nice [02:32] @warlock - try using unetbootin [02:32] tripelb: You left soon after I said this by the way: tripelbb: Yeah, they overlap but they get out of eachothers' way. A better example would be for me to say this: "Open up your Home folder. Move it to the left. Open up another Home see where it goes. Move both of them to the right andopen another. See where it goes" [02:32] tripelb: Try anti-aliasing your fonts under System->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts [02:33] I'm having some trouble getting my mail to work on Ubuntu [02:33] I'm using the default mail program [02:33] hola. I have a 9.04 VM that I want to upgrade to lucid. I only have command line access. What's the easiest way to do that? [02:33] Hey You! [02:33] Vustom, what seems to be the trouble [02:33] * user0 needs you! [02:33] and when I enter my password it says Error while fetching Mail.. [02:33] its now or never ! [02:33] :P [02:33] I understnad that I need to do junaty->karmic->lucid [02:33] and then the password box comes up again [02:33] this is ok [02:33] but my password is correct [02:33] its a live.com email [02:34] Does anyone here know how to format a WD smartware so that it will function with ubuntu? [02:34] no go moving it up either [02:34] so how does env get set up for root? [02:34] try visiting the live.com site, and manually entering all settings. it may be SSL or a different port [02:34] k [02:35] tripelb: Here's what my font stuff looks like (I don't think anything is default) http://awakeanddrink.org/Screenshot-3.png and then http://awakeanddrink.org/Screenshot-2.png under "Details..." [02:35] anyone have a simple, or even complex, method of getting http and php on ubuntu desktop with gui. is there anything in the repos? [02:36] mykal: php5 and apache you mean? [02:37] use synaptic and search for those packages? [02:37] mykal: check out tasksel command which provides a menu system, though it is text based [02:38] hmm [02:38] im having trouble finding the pop3 settings on hotmail.com [02:38] -_- [02:40] Do i put the SSL encryption on? [02:40] or off [02:40] in the settings [02:41] datakid, yeah, thats right [02:41] hello there. does anyone know of any data recovery software that recovers the filenames as well as the files? [02:41] I have chromium installed, would I be better off installing chrome? Chromium doesn't handle pdf's at least mine isn't configured for that. [02:41] Vustom, only live.com know the answer to that question. if you log in via web you should be able to find it in settings [02:41] evon: scalpel [02:41] k it was because SSL encryption is on. [02:41] How do I go about finding an external hard drive through the terminal? [02:41] i think [02:41] doesnt show an error but mail fetching is at 0% [02:41] evon: ohh, sorry that doesn't do names [02:41] but i have 2500 emails hto [02:42] tho* [02:42] evon: I'm not aware of any for Linux, I have recovered files a few times, but never names. [02:42] shane4ubuntu: you know of any others? [02:42] Vustom, its POP account, you probably wont see anything after today [02:42] shane4ubuntu: :-( [02:43] evon, i think i saw something on lifehacker about data recovery for ext 4, sec [02:43] @shane4 chromium is your only option for ubuntu.. chrome only exists for windows im pretty sure.. but check out app store either way! === MC8 is now known as MC8|zzz [02:43] evon: this is about the best documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery a little old but still worth the read [02:43] it says [02:43] Fetching mail (0% complete) [02:43] So you guys with windows and ubuntu.. what do you use windows for now-a-days? :) [02:43] shane4ubuntu: ok.

[02:44] but everything else will be on Ubuntu [02:44] AxionStile: I tell myself I use it for games, but I don't actually. (Too much of a pain to reboot just for one game) [02:44] cos i wuv it :D [02:44] lcaputo: (tab completes nick) Thanks, it is a little confusing on the web, everything uses chrome, even when refering to chromium [02:44] great answers :) [02:44] evon, all here bud http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2011/01/how-to-recover-your-data-mostly-free-and-easy/ [02:44] Error fetching mail: Could not connect to pop3.live.com [02:44] D: [02:45] lcaputo: Yep.

[02:47] AxionStile, to my surprise I almost never go back to windows and when I do I do little there. And I always have to start with taking care of the virus (anti) updates first. [02:47] mykal: thanks I will take a look [02:48] AxionStile, yes I got a free game but dont bother to play it. The thing that I miss is my webcam wont do skype.

[03:14] exactly [03:14] awan: Empathy comes default and uses IM, I use Pidgin with YM as we speak. [03:14] how to show the images in a email using Evolution mail? [03:14] YM, not IM* (well all, but still lol) [03:14] Starminn, does it take a long time?

[03:16] awan: There is a somewhat limited support of webcams in Ubuntu. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [03:16] Squarism: Yes [03:16] awan: ps3 eye is very well supported [03:16] and a good cam [03:17] ps3?

[03:20] for now i use pidgin, but i still cant activate the cam [03:21] also, the wiki is very excellent about netbooks, if its one of them types it should have steps for it awan [03:21] I do not think there is web cam support for pidgin [03:21] for yahoo message [03:21] thats why i'm looking if somehow there's another apps can [03:22] I do not believe there is [03:22] ow [03:22] the only one i know of is skype [03:22] has anyone had their /dev have 120ish devices in it as a result of plugging in one device?

Can i just run do apt-get upgrade (after switching to "Release Upgrade" = "Normal Releases" ) ? [03:30] After I restarted the server, and after launching gdm, it seems that it can't mount my encrypted directory... I used the correct passphrase after invoking "ecryptfs-mount-private" and it says " Inserted auth tok with sig [696b1ea85252b549] into the user session keyring fopen: No such file or directory" [03:30] update-grub is falling over with "cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)". Any ideas? [03:30] ...i had 10.04 installed at the time of kernel change [03:30] JustJimCo: running from a livecd? [03:30] Squarism: 1) mixing packages from different versions is not a particularly good idea, 2) just do the regular upgrade procedure [03:30] !upgrade [03:31] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [03:31] Squarism: To my understanding, when people go from 10.04 -> 10.10 they run sudo apt-get update to update their kernel, then do sudo apt-get upgrade to upgrade. [03:31] There you go, they beat me toyou [03:31] nope === Dotted is now known as Dotoff [03:32] sudo apt-get update refreshes the list of packages you can download. sudo apt-get upgrade installs packages that are newer in the repositories than on your computer.

[03:37] hey guys, does anyone feel comfortable offering some dynDNS advice? [03:39] KBentley57, what sort of advice? === eXistZ_Away is now known as eXistZ [03:42] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10. Is there a way to connect to ARD remote sessions? ARD is apple-remote-desktop. Thanks. [03:44] which webhost do you guys prefer most and leat amoung dreamhost, bluehost and hostgator? [03:45] Hello. I am trying to set permission to a file using symbols instead of octal. (474) "chmod u+r, g+rwx, o+r file" --doesn't work? [03:46] hi [03:46] i want to add DOS into the ubuntu start menu [03:47] Jon30: you need to do that in three commands. Knowing octal needs to be good for something. [03:47] I can't set it to 474 using symbolic in one command? [03:48] Jon30: oops. you can chain them that way using a comma w/o the space. [03:48] oh [03:48] so space messed it up [03:48] alteregod: sudo apt-get install dosbox? [03:49] Is it possible to add Xfire & Raptr support to Empathy IM?

Pulseaudio keeps freezing up on me and I have no other choice but to hard reset. This usually happens while watching video. I noticed that if I go long enough after reboot I will lose sound. I'm guessing these are related somehow. [03:54] One time when it froze up I tried to kill processes quick enough to not have to hard reset and noticed that switching windows I got the notification that pulseaudio was unresponsive, so I'm guessing that's the issue. [03:55] If I'm in the middle of audio or video when it happens the audio keeps looping the last few seconds played then I get so unresponsive I can't even bring up a tty or anything.

[05:44] trouble.. [05:44] Anonnn - press alt+ctrl+1 first [05:44] can u get it to work or does it not work? [05:45] cryptodira did you install alsamixer? [05:45] How can I get X running again? [05:45] could try the others.... [05:45] palhmbs: :D whats gonna happen :D [05:45] work your way through alt+ctrl+1 through to 7.... [05:45] dan86, yes to no avail. [05:45] only lets me do ctrlalt1 and 2 [05:46] it may be that one of them has X running on it... [05:46] hmmm...i had it workign on 32 bit 10.04 and 10.10 [05:46] 1 takes me to freenode in irc, 2 takes me back to #ubuntu :D [05:46] i don't remember how i did it though [05:46] palhmbs: *must* you use JFS? ext3/4 seems better supported... [05:46] it worked origionaly on windows b4 ubuntu instal. after sum messing around to try and get it working on linux it started not working in windows due to not turning on with the switch [05:46] well guys, its time for me to go to bed. studying for A+ is hard x_X [05:47] so much random crap u gotta knowwwwwww [05:47] When i type something into the firefox address bar i want to google it instead of going to the first website it finds, so atm if i type google it'll go to http://google.com/ [05:47] dan86, yes, it seems no problems on 32 bit hardware.... 64 bit = another story altogether. [05:47] how do i change this? [05:47] Loshki, well, I *WAS* just experimenting.... [05:47] Loshki, I just installed debian 6 on that partition [05:47] Vustom: You'll need an extension [05:47] I wanted to add it to my Grub2.... [05:47] Anyone? How can I recover my gnome desktop? [05:47] but can't if I don't have JFS support in buntu [05:47] seventoes whats it called? [05:48] Vustom: I don't know, ask google [05:48] blkid doesn't give me a partition [05:48] gonna run gparted [05:49] RedX11 why not just try installing ubuntu-desktop [05:49] RedXIII, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:49] thing is... I presumed that running modprobe jfs would give me jfs support [05:49] Q_Q [05:49] g_0_0: unable to resolve ubuntu.com [05:50] can you use gdocs mount in 10.10 [05:50] cryptodira any suggestions? [05:51] what have you tried? [05:51] RedXIII, maybe you could edit the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list, have you got a network connection? [05:51] g_0_0: also ubuntu-desktop is already installed [05:51] palhmbs: I don't see much about ubuntu and jfs on google... [05:51] No network connections, I just got a terminal screen [05:51] Loshki, neither did I... that's why I asked here... [05:51] I guess there could be a #jfs channel [05:52] Hey all, anyone wanna help me fix my repos? [05:52] Hello, I forgot, apart from uname-a, how do we check the OS version from the server again? [05:52] RedXIII, just thought reinstalling ubuntu-desktop might fix your problem [05:52] no - FAIL [05:52] no clue x_x [05:52] is there maybe a better chan for getting help? [05:52] palhmbs: I looked, there is no jfs channel (on freenode at least) [05:52] It might, if I could get network connections [05:52] for some reason when I upgraded to .....26 compiz stopped working and my repos got all messed up [05:52] I don't get why it isn't working though. I haven't changed anything [05:53] stupid question perhaps - have you rebooted? [05:53] palhmbs: I see a jfsutils package... [05:53] g_0_0: twice, same result [05:54] RedXIII, and this happened after editing grub? [05:54] anyone have any luck getting WinAmp streams to work with VLC or any other linux based player? [05:54] I reinstalled my win7, and had to reinstall grub from the livecd [05:54] windparadise, cat /etc/issue [05:54] hi, i was editing a .py file with vim and got a warning stating it was already opened, so i attempted .rm file.py.swap [05:54] did i jsut screw myself? [05:55] thanks [05:55] So all I did was grub-install ubuntu/disk /dev/sda [05:55] dan86, i have tried ALL of the fixes found in the various ubuntu forums.... none of which actually address toshiba/amd/64, plenty of fixes for intel: acers, hp, and dell laptops.... this is the reason for the endemic to toshiba comment. [05:55] quick-fix'd [05:55] Loshki, thanks, that maybe the answer I'm looking for [05:55] How do I change the GRUB kernel boot list in Lucid? I want to remove some, and change the default. [05:56] hi, i was editing a .py file with vim and got a warning stating it was already opened, so i attempted .rm file.py.swap and now it appears my original file.py is also gone [05:56] Monona, edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg -- or read up on how to config the grub-update scripts --- read up about Grub2 [05:56] did i jsut screw myself? [05:56] Now my ubuntu 10.10 is getting stuck at "checking battery state" [05:56] RedXIII, do a memtest+ [05:56] please do any of you know how to manualy unblock a hard blocked wifi? [05:57] palhmbs: Thanks, I'll check that out. [05:57] palhmbs: Its a new laptop and I have had no problems with my win7 install [05:57] dan86, at least i have both the onboard speakers and the headphone jack working... still looking for a solution to the microphone problem... it has to be something in ubuntu... as it worked under win7 when i got the machine,,, before nuking it, [05:57] In fact, was playing Crysis on it a few minutes ago [05:57] I doubt any hardware went bad already [05:57] yea it's annoying cryptodira [05:57] RedXIII, it _has_ happened [05:57] what model is your laptop? [05:57] Mine is fiarly old, Toshiba u305 [05:57] lenovo y560 [05:57] ~3-4 years old [05:58] 6gb memory [05:58] what's the easiest way to reset my sound that has gone distorted? [05:58] RedXIII, more likely that some files got screwed... no hard power-offs, power brown-outs? [05:58] palhmbs: But it wouldn't happen if I'm not experiencing problems with my other OS's [05:58] palhmbs: I also see mount options for jfs, so I'd say make a filesystem with jfs_mkfs, check it with jfs_fsck and then try and mount it... [05:58] s@IT:~$ rfkill list wifi [05:58] 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN [05:58] Soft blocked: no [05:58] Hard blocked: yes [05:58] 1: phy0: Wireless LAN [05:58] TheDelaY: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:58] Soft blocked: no [05:58] Hard blocked: no [05:58] s@IT:~$ ^C [05:58] brownout wouldn't affect it, it has battery. I did a hard shutdown on my windows partition only [05:58] Once, but ubuntu worked after that [05:58] dan86, annoying to say the least.... satellite A660D all amd/64 8 gigs ram. [05:59] Only now that I had to restore grub am I having problems [05:59] TheDelaY, use pastebin.com [05:59] RedXIII, have you run update-grub? [05:59] palhmbs: Would /boot/grub/menu.lst work? [05:59] o-o nope [05:59] should I? [05:59] So, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 from the alternative set (amd64) onto a system... finally got it to realize that the usb stick is, indeed, the cdrom drive, but then I get this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/695766 so I'm trying to find more information on it - anyone else seen/solved this and just haven't said anything about it? [06:00] Monona, grub menu.lst is the old grub version --- Grub2 & grub.cfg is the _new_ config file for ubuntu 10.10 --- think grub2 has been in use since > 10.04 [06:00] Is there some compelling reason why I shouldn't use the same public/private SSH keypair on all my computers? That is, the keypair I use to SSH into remote hosts. Or should I generate keys for each machine I use? [06:00] Monona, read up on _Grub2_ [06:00] seems easier to find people willing to tell me i'm posting wrong than peoploe that can help [06:00] palhmbs: I ran update-grub and restarted [06:01] TheDelaY, this channel is always busy [06:01] I'm back at the tty1 screen [06:01] is anyone here knowledgeable with the indicator applet? [06:01] that's why I don't often come here [06:01] it works my fingertips off.... [06:01] where is better [06:01] dan86, there is some speculation that the toshiba bios may be the culprit, tho i have seen no solutions if it is. [06:01] startx still says "no screens found" [06:01] palhmbs: No grub.cfg in /boot/grub/ I'll take a look at Grub2 [06:01] i'm working on wifi problem for 2 days so i can do my school woork, it;s driving me mad [06:02] TheDelaY: if you posted correctly, more people would be willing to help [06:02] TheDelaY: note how I presented my problem in one fell swoop [06:03] of course, no one seems to know, so I'll ask again in about 15 minutes [06:03] is there maybe a list of rules somewhere, or do they teach class's on how to use irc? [06:03] the indicator applet seems to use the same "status" icons the old notification tray used to use, but if i change the icon myself the indicator applet never updates with the new icon...it's like it has some hidden cache...already tried updating the icon cache. restarting, and removing/readding the applet to the panel...nothing [06:03] !guidelines > TheDelaY [06:03] TheDelaY, please see my private message [06:04] TheDelaY: is ther anything you specifically want to know? [06:04] thank you [06:04] yes [06:04] cheers [06:04] Monona, you would have to use show all files -- or use your root account to open the file --- gksudo vim /boot/grub/grub.cfg --- but it _IS_ safer not to edit grub.cfg [06:04] i want to unblock mu wifi [06:04] and use the updategrub scripts [06:04] TheDelaY: if you've got stuff to paste, just use the pastebin site [06:05] does the mac mini have any issues under ubuntu [06:05] palhmbs: "grub-install -v" returns "grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)" which means I'm still using GRUB legacy, right? In which case, is it menu.lst? Or should I just update GRUB? [06:05] TheDelaY: the wifi part I understand but not the mu part. [06:05] accel: perhaps you should be asking, does ubuntu have any problems with the mac mini? ;) [06:05] my i ment my "y" is right next to "u" [06:05] Gnea: does it? [06:06] accel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mac_mini [06:06] Monona, you can edit your menu.lst - definitely if you are using grub legacy [06:06] accel: obviously, you'll need to adjust away from 7.04 to 10.04 [06:06] Gnea: I want to use 10.10 [06:06] Monona, their are plenty of tutorials on grub legacy editing to customize your menu.... even to add pritty backgrounds etc.... [06:07] accel: get 10.04 to work first, then upgrade - that's my suggestion [06:07] buna dimineata [06:07] cryptodira just got it working! [06:07] In your Intel Mac Mini you've got one of the best 3D cards around for the Linux world. An Intel Video Card. <-- wtf, are they serious? [06:08] TheDelaY: you mean maybe unignore someone? I am not certain what you are asking. [06:08] dan86, what was your solution? [06:08] mute mic boost, front mic all the way up, rec button checked in alsa mixer [06:08] accel: http://blog.costan.us/2009/03/ubuntu-810-or-904-on-mac-mini.html this might help too [06:08] and mute beep [06:08] palhmbs: Any reason to upgrade to GRUB2? I don't mind just staying in legacy, if it will keep working. [06:08] accel: it was written by a mac user, what did you expect? [06:08] !ro | alin` [06:08] alin`: Daca doriti ajutor sau doriti sa discutati despre Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu, intrati pe #ubuntu-ro [06:08] well considering how hard of a tyme i'm having readeang any of this let alone figuring out the past board [06:08] lmao [06:09] non sequitur [06:09] ubuntu is scary [06:09] :( [06:09] Vustom: fear is not an option.

[06:10] Vustom: if you click the wrong button in windows your emails will be gone too ~i am sure XD [06:10] Monona, I found the old legacy nice... but in saying that, I upgraded to Grub2 and learned it for the sake of keeping up-to-date -- If I fall behind with learning new things, then I usually can't help others as much.... [06:11] wildbat i know.. i wuv love ubuntu for ever if i can get my email fixed.. but its in the hands of microsoft support now [06:11] so i cant do much else :( [06:11] i will love* [06:12] Vustom: you trust your email to the man who wears a star, comrade?

[06:14] jose-neto: perhaps your account doesn't have the permission [06:14] Guest72163: i'd seriously consider 10.04 lts since that realease no longer has any support [06:14] cryptodira just gnome-alsamixer [06:14] how do i make this permission [06:15] it seemed to be too slow [06:15] 10.04 [06:15] jose-neto: well that all depends, what happens when you insert the sd card? [06:15] when i try and run it with java [06:15] it says its Block: /user blablablabla [06:15] does lts mean laptop version? [06:15] Blocked* [06:15] Guest72163: what are you running it on? I have it on a p3 733 mhz with 384 meg or ram, works fine. [06:15] Vustom: so the problem is with java, not ubuntu? [06:15] it shows on the desktop but now one sd card shows with two names cause i tried to much stuff on the net [06:15] Guest72163: lts means long term support [06:15] 256 megs of ram [06:16] idk D: [06:16] athlon 4 [06:16] laptop was designed for windows xp [06:16] Guest72163: yeah tthis is very thight to run anything new [06:16] Guest72163: if you can double the ram, that would take care if your issues.

[06:31] jose-neto: namely, the 'advanced settings' to see if there are any un-checked boxes [06:32] Is there a way to use the install cd to fix that? [06:32] anyone able to help me fix my repos [06:32] wildbat, or anyone have suggestion, see my second comment? [06:32] Gnea,yes and i checked every box [06:32] I've tried installing twice.

[06:34] Tempus_Fugit: what is wrong w/ your repos?

[06:35] edit: no, actually I just checked in Preferences, I've got hardware acceleration checked (its the default) [06:35] So how do I change the mbr to boot into grub? [06:35] Gnea,how do i name it [06:35] Using the livecd if possible. [06:36] jose-neto: after you paste stuff there, just click submit and it creates a URL - copy and paste that URL here [06:36] sound driver problem [06:37] SteelStiletto: something like this might work http://paste.ubuntu.com/562593/ [06:37] Gnea,i just did it [06:37] SteelStiletto: if grub is already seen at boot maybe it's just set to default boot windows, can you hold shift at boot to get into grub? [06:37] dalipsaini: i have a laptop with an intel sound chip that's broken under linux (and one other free os). i worked around this by buying a cheap usb audio thingy [06:38] sound driver problem [06:38] jose-neto: okay, what is the URL please? [06:38] Gnea,http://pastebin.com/FBudUXrE [06:38] sacarlson: It doesn't actually boot into grub and then chainload into windows, just boots straight into windows. Checking that pastebin currently. [06:39] sorry [06:39] Seeing if I can get that to work. [06:39] Gnea, http://pastebin.com/FBudUXrE [06:39] whats with ubuntu update servers? they not working? [06:39] jose-neto: thanks, got it, reading... [06:40] jose-neto: okay, 'external' and 'usb0' are 2 different disks - which one is the sdcard? [06:40] oh all is fine.. [06:40] i installed ubuntu 10.04 in my laptop HP g42 -355TU, but i have sound problem [06:40] Gnea, USB0 [06:40] Well, I would, if I could actually get the livecd to work... I never tried the "Try Ubuntu" button on the laptop, just the "Install Ubuntu", and now when I do try it, it just sits and loads forever (about five minutes now). [06:40] milamber: once i upgraded to .....26 for some reason my compiz wont work, and my repos are out of date and it wont do any further upgrades [06:41] !startup [06:41] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[06:42] Hey, my ubuntu screensaver isn't working. I have it set to glmatrix but when the screensaver comes on I just have a black screen [06:43] http://pastebin.com/BR0Z9exh [06:43] milamber: when I boot up it says edubuntu however I upgraded my desktop version of ubuntu desktop 10.10 [06:43] The monitor isn't being put to sleep, it should be showing screensaver, but its just blank.

[06:44] Jaroty: some people prefer it to a blank screen. [06:44] milamber: command not found [06:45] Gnea, ok [06:45] a blank screen would work better in the case of a legacy monitor [06:45] jose-neto: any luck? [06:45] Tempus_Fugit: what version were you upgrading from? [06:45] SteelStiletto: there are many options of other media like usb flash drive or pxe boot and a few more. I don't use cd drives to install since they are slow and unstable [06:45] Gnea, no [06:45] only really old monitors suffer persistance?

If I install a 64 bit OS would there be a performance decreas in comparison to 32 bit? [06:46] milamber: brb [06:46] I tried using a USB, which is actually how I installed on my desktop, but I get an error before anything starts. [06:46] indecipherable: who said that? === weed_ is now known as |SNIP3R| [06:46] <|SNIP3R|> hello all [06:46] dalipsani I have sent you help in a chat [06:46] <|SNIP3R|> have a question about ipv6 [06:47] my laptop has a 64 bit processor and 2 GB of DDR3 RAM. If I install a 64 bit OS would there be a performance decreas in comparison to 32 bit? [06:47] <|SNIP3R|> i've set up the tunnel on my machine but it still issues an ipv4 address [06:47] *decrease [06:47] 64bit is faster [06:47] <|SNIP3R|> how can I make/force it to use ipv6 addresses [06:47] MasterU: even if i have just 2 GB of DDR3 RAM? [06:48] SteelStiletto: well does live usb boot try mode work? you should of said you used the usb method since this may be why you have to problem with wrong mbr position. many bios end up mounting the usb flash to /dev/sda so you need to use /dev/sdb for your mbr in that case [06:48] just 2 gigs? are you kidding me? [06:48] i installed wubi, i hope i didn't do a bad thing, it was the easiest to work with [06:48] for sure that is plenty your not using vista [06:48] Every time I try to use xscreensaver I get segmentation fault error [06:48] sacarlson: Oh, no, USB worked on my desktop. I was using a DVD on my laptop though. [06:48] What's wrong? I tried to reinstall it through apt-get [06:48] jose-neto: what is the new output of mount this time? [06:48] Sorry about the confusion [06:49] yes just 2. thats what it came with [06:49] robertzaccour: most likely you will never even use 1 gig, 2 gigs is way more than you will ever need. [06:49] I can't even boot from the USB on my laptop to install Ubuntu. [06:49] SteelStiletto: well usb boot and install is a better option [06:49] cate_: I would recommend doing a normal install rather than wubi. You probably won't have any problems with wubi, but you're more likely to have problems with it than with installing normally. [06:49] Jaroty: my question is will 64 bit OS hurt performance [06:49] unless you run CAD and photoshop and gimp and every single program you can think of at the same time [06:49] milamber: 10.10 2.6.35.26 [06:49] its faster, probably more unstable [06:49] I had more problems installing it normally [06:50] I had 2 virtual machines running with just 2gig [06:50] SteelStiletto: there is a work around for that if your bios won't support boot from usb with boot manager plop [06:50] <|SNIP3R|> anyone? [06:50] cate_: What type of problems? [06:50] go for it 64bit is the future [06:50] i have installed ubuntu10.04 in HP laptop,but no sound [06:50] It wouldn't load and I couldn't find a solution. [06:50] I'm trying to boot from the USB right now, so I can tell you the error it gives me. [06:50] Tempus_Fugit: hokay. can you pastebin the command/error you are getting when you try to upgrad? [06:50] SteelStiletto: you might try http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html [06:50] But I think it might have stopped booting. [06:50] upgrade* (your repos)? [06:51] sani detail? [06:51] My laptop supports booting from USB... [06:51] That isn't the issue. [06:51] just copy the error dude [06:51] !pastebin > Tempus_Fugit [06:51] Tempus_Fugit, please see my private message [06:51] i install ubuntu 10.04 with dual booting Windows7 but no sound [06:51] SteelStiletto: if it did it would have booted that usb since that usb already is know to boot on another system correct? [06:52] It starts booting up, but I get an error. [06:52] sani have you checked mute etc? [06:52] yes every thing is ok [06:52] Like I said, I'm trying to boot with it now so I can tell you the error. [06:52] SteelStiletto: When you get to the point where it asks if you want to try or install, try just pressing ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal. From there you can follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [06:52] How do I diagnose the occasional audio dropouts I get while running the 2.6.33-29-realtime kernel and a m-audio fasttrack pro? It happens sporadically in rhythmbox, vlc, and firefox (youtube, soundcloud, flash-based players generally). [06:52] is it onboard intel sound ? [06:52] ok thanks [06:53] SteelStiletto: can you get as far as hold shift and get into grub? if it gets that far then you don't need plop [06:53] sound symbol is showing on screen [06:54] ok try this it is the most common one I have found [06:54] Okay, upon trying four times, I had the liveusb boot. [06:54] sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf [06:54] ok please solve my problem [06:54] Fourth time is a charm. [06:54] SteelStiletto: cool [06:54] ad this at the bottom [06:54] Tempus_Fugit: a screehshot has a little different process. to pastebin you want to copy/paste from the terminal. in the terminal run: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [06:55] options snd-hda-intel model=auto [06:55] So, using the liveusb, is there a way to install grub into the MBR? [06:55] will need to restart [06:55] SteelStiletto: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [06:55] SteelStiletto: yes just make sure what device is the disk that will boot from when the usb is not installed [06:55] auto will cover most so cross your fingers [06:55] hi anyone know how to get surround sound from Realtek ALC888 === darren is now known as mysteriousdarren [06:55] SteelStiletto: look at mount; and fdisk -l [06:56] Gnea, sorry i had to go [06:56] jose-neto: no problem, have you had any success yet?

[06:59] Gnea, http://pastebin.com/DCHJParx [06:59] I think i want to dual boot windows 7 and ubuntu so should i just put ubuntu on another physical drive? will it run better that way? [07:01] I have Realtek ALC888 built into my motherboard, I am getting sound only from my front speakers, no sound from rear speakers, any idea how to get sound from rear speakers. [07:02] jose-neto: alright, now: sudo mount -n -o remount,user /media/usb0 [07:02] jose-neto: then output mount again [07:03] Gnea, i do one than the other ?

[07:34] "/bin/chmod: cannot access `/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/precomp/lib/proc': No such file or directory [07:35] please give me a hint how to resolve it [07:35] milamber: ohk ... can i do the right click only on the left panel...????? coz that is wat i cn only do nw [07:35] rwat, usb [07:35] and wifi but both works [07:35] Sam_Fisher, Jordan_U -- working on running that script [07:35] Jordan_U, hi [07:36] chackett, ok I'll stay with ya till you get it fixed [07:36] When using Pidgin and connecting my AIM account i get this popup: Error 0x0024: Unknown error. [07:36] and the title of that is Error Changing Account Info [07:36] niazmohd: right click should work everywhere, but the options are going to be different. [07:36] Antonis: have you tried connecting via usb and then opening s-scan and xscan? [07:36] Vustom, AIM? does anyone use that? [07:37] milamber: but my right click is not workin on the plane workspace ..... it wrks only on the left dock [07:37] niazmohd: You using ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition (with unity), and you want to access your hard drives? [07:37] twitch, the printer is always connected through via usb I just have installed both a wifi and usb ver [07:37] rishav-T: yup [07:39] niazmohd: not sure then. is it a trackpad? [07:39] Gnea, http://pastebin.com/771GxqdH [07:39] it drives me up the WALL that plymouth is a defacto thing on the server and alternative releases - why can't it be disabled from grub? [07:40] Gnea: It can be. [07:40] Jordan_U: I really need it to be, I can't see squat [07:40] Gnea: Remove the "splash" kernel parameter. [07:41] Jordan_U, can you please give me ahint on this?? [07:41] :( === christian is now known as Guest60268 [07:41] Jordan_U: negative, tried that. It boots everything up and showed the kernel messages, then upstart starts things up and bam, it starts something that causes the screen to go blank... some kind of framebuffer perhaps? either way, my geforce 9300 hates it. [07:42] hi can anyone please help me with this im stuck heres my paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/564268/ [07:42] Gnea: That's likely kernel mode setting. To disable KMS add the "nomodeset" kernel parameter. [07:42] im use 10.10 version and cant seem to install the ieee80211 subsystem files [07:43] i really like ubuntu [07:43] likewise [07:43] i want to use an exe program trough wine but it's open just for few seconds :( [07:44] Sam_Fisher, Jordan_U -- ran that script. It shows WindowsXP on sda1 and reports no errors [07:44] Gnea, did u take a look at the paste [07:44] jose-neto: okay, there has to be a place where it can be told for any user to write to it [07:44] Sam_Fisher, Jordan_U -- it sees no boo directory for XP however [07:44] jose-neto: because, by default, it's using nouser, which means no one can write to it [07:45] chackett: Can you please post teh entire output to http://paste.ubuntu.com and then post a link to it here? [07:45] * frewo64 is away: Zurzeit abwesend [07:45] anyone? [07:45] Antonis: sry, everything I have looked at shows that it is not supported [07:45] Gnea, how do i change that [07:45] Jordan_U, stand by [07:45] jose-neto: I don't know [07:45] Jordan_U, this is a great script! I wish I had found this last year before I spent hours trying to fix Grub [07:46] Antonis: the scanner side of things but as for the printing works fine, as you know [07:46] twitch, no problem at least now I know it doesn't =) the printer works fine yes that's far more important [07:46] jose-neto: does the sdcard have a little switch on it? [07:46] any hint for me [07:46] I will continue to scan to an SD/USB and insert it in the computer then almost same thing [07:46] ?? [07:46] Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/564271/ [07:46] alin`, It's likely a compatibilty issue [07:46] no [07:47] Antonis: I'm in the same boat as you different unit though .. I just scan onto a usb drive and then plug it into my ubuntu desktop [07:47] jose-neto: okay, I asked because sometimes they do, and if you slide it to the other position it will allow writing [07:47] twitch, that's how I do it =) guess I'll continue to do so hehe thanks! [07:47] but i need that program [07:48] Antonis: heh np's :) [07:48] hi. anyone know how to configure ssl. error in self-sign cert. don't know where the wrong part is.

Installed kubuntu just an hour or so ago [07:49] Jordan_U, If I unplug the kubuntu hdd, I am sure it will boot into WinXP [07:49] i tried using an microSD adapter and doesnt let me do nything either [07:50] chackett: Please test that. [07:50] the droid only mounts [07:50] Jordan_U, stand by [07:50] Gnea, droid is mass storage mode [07:51] Jordan_U, did u see all those ext4 partitions? I thought he had one Kubuntu and it's Wubi! [07:52] jose-neto: somehow, you need to enable write access on the phone [07:52] anyone can show me the way of ssl. been struggling on this issue for a couple of week, though.

[07:53] zairo: ah okay, #ubuntu-server and #httpd would be better places to ask [07:53] Gnea, i read some articles and its not necessary [07:53] jose-neto: well, that's obviously not the case.

[08:55] Makuew: so your ethernet card is not working? [08:55] zetheroo: Its working, but it will not bring up the interface [08:56] Hello. Is there any way to tell bash to dump me to a specific directory when started? I am interested specifically in a command line option. Thank you [08:56] hello. Is there a certain config file which I can use to customize the gnome-panel? I need this because I will have a custom installation and therefore I need to be able to write it into some file directly. [08:56] It says Dont seem to have all varibels for bringing up lo/eth0 [08:56] Makuew where did you assign those values? [08:56] JohnDoe234: just edit your .bashrc and put this at the end: cd /the/dir/you/want/to/be/in [08:56] /etc/network/interfaces [08:57] did you restart your network?

[08:58] JohnDoe234: so put it in the script instead [08:58] auto eth0 [08:58] Makuew: if you're trying to hide ip information, you're doing it the wrong way. just use 1.2.3.4 or something similar for others [08:58] I can't even get either of these systems to talk to each other [08:59] tried different ethernet cords too [08:59] Okay, simple networking question - got 2 ubuntu systems, both 10.04 on a wired network with each other - both connected via ethernet to a common switch - lights on the switch light up, both interfaces are configured with static ip's either via network manager or /etc/network/interfaces, no firewall at the moment on either, and neither can ping each other. both on 192.168.1.0/24, what am I missing?

[11:11] daniel_, you don't install it [11:11] daniel_, its java [11:11] flipmoe: what? [11:11] its already installed?

There are two different kind. cryptsetup + ecryptfs [11:30] red2kic_: I'm not sure how to find that out [11:30] windparadise: well you have « service apache2 status » as well as « apache2ctl status ». Apache starts automatically if you install it through the repositories [11:31] sresu: Okay. How did you install/encrypt it in first place? Alternate disk? Or you toggled on the option to encrypt home folder? [11:31] red2kic_: Most likely,encryptfs [11:31] later [11:31] ok, I have tried to access my local host but I can't access my web page [11:31] any recent online resources on how to encrypt a home folder using cryptsetup and LUKS?? [11:31] sresu: Ah. I don't know that one. Did you check this out already? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [11:31] windparadise: did you install apache2 from the repositories? [11:32] yes [11:32] is there a directory comparison utility that compares files byte-by-byte or via md5? I've copied a partition twice, and some files may have parts that have been filled with zeros where DD ran into bad sectors and such... [11:32] red2kic_: Later one. togged the option to encrypt during installation [11:32] windparadise: is it running? [11:32] !who | windparadise [11:32] windparadise: 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 :) [11:32] yes, apache is running [11:33] gordonjcp: Back it up encrypted? Will it consider copying all the files? [11:33] sometux: also, "directory" not "folder", you might find your search results turn up more useful stuff ;-) [11:33] tehbaut: rsync --dry-run maybe or some binary diff tools (you should find some in the repositories) [11:33] sresu: well if the encrypted bit is just one big file that you then mount as a loopback filesystem, copy the big file [11:33] jrib, Apache is running [11:33] I even restarted it [11:33] encrypted filesystems are an astoundingly bad idea [11:33] windparadise: how are you attempting to access it? [11:33] gordonjcp: why :? [11:34] http://localhost/ [11:34] gordonjcp: I actually just clicked that option during ubuntu installation [11:34] windparadise: does using 127.0.0.1 instead work? [11:34] jrib: reliability and speed [11:35] gordonjcp: ah, but if you value privacy more than that... [11:35] jrib: if anything goes even a tiny bit wrong, you've lost *everything* [11:35] jrib, yes that works [11:35] thanks [11:35] gordonjcp: How do I mount it as a loopback fs? [11:35] gordonjcp: not with a sensible backup scheme [11:35] I think ecryptfs are bad idea. :P [11:35] jrib: they don't give you much additional privacy [11:35] windparadise: pastebin your /etc/hosts [11:35] ok [11:36] rsync dry run sounds good, thanks jrib [11:36] gordonjcp: how so? I get my laptop stolen, I don't need to worry [11:36] jrib: great if you want to keep casual snoopers out, but if you've got people poking around in your system you've got bigger problems than encrypting your filesystem [11:36] can someone help me with making ubuntu use a proxy defaultly, except for downloads and torrents :D, and ideas? [11:36] jrib: well, if you have stuff that must remain confidential on stealable media (including laptops) then great [11:36] i have access to my router :D [11:36] go ahead and use encrypted filesystems [11:36] jrib: but that's really very much an edge case [11:37] gordonjcp: ... edge case? seems like it happens all the time to me, but ok. [11:37] hi I got a little problem.. :D [11:37] jrib: Yeah, if you get yor laptop stolen. No one will be access your data like howw I'm not able to access [11:37] when using rsync to compare directories, should I use /path/to/dir or /path/to/dir/? [11:37] is it possible (beforehand) to allow all users to use wlans that will be added in the future? if it is, how? [11:37] sresu: ha :P [11:38] can't find anything from documentation [11:38] LjL: well, look at it realistically - how much life-changingly sensitive information do you have on your laptop? [11:38] LjL: probably rather less than you have on your phone [11:38] jrib, command not found when I did sudo /etc/hosts [11:38] LjL: or scraps of paper in your wallet [11:38] gordonjcp: i don't have a laptop in the first place :P but *i* am an edge case [11:38] permission denied on /etc/hosts [11:38] windparadise: try: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [11:38] LjL: I'm also an edge case, in that I won't ever use disk encryption because it's painfully slow [11:39] gordonjcp: i'm sure people who actually have a job that gives them a laptop often have sensitive information on it [11:39] gordonjcp: I just encrypt my home, seems to work ok [11:39] jrib: yeah, too slow though [11:39] jrib: If you're using laptop, consider leaving files you're working with and the rest on seperate machine. You have better chance of recovering your laptop if it's not secured. (noip2, dynsdns, wifi roaming auto-connection for unsecred wifi). [11:39] unsecured* [11:40] red2kic_: 3G card [11:40] even a GPRS card would do [11:40] anyone know anything about routers x_X? [11:40] or where i could go to ask?

As in I'll use chroot to decrypt and then take backup of data.. ??

[11:42] with the synaptic interface ... [11:42] windparadise: weird that "localhost" does not work [11:42] why, not how.. [11:42] mrphoenix: don't deinstall gnome then [11:43] no one was in there x_X [11:43] yeah well now when I did deinstall it, it will not reinstall [11:43] jrib, how do I fix it please? I would like to make it accessible via dyndns [11:43] and I deinstalled becourse I really don't like it [11:43] Anonnn: This channel is very busy. Most other irc channels you have to be patient [11:44] ahhh gotcha, thanks soreau [11:44] windparadise: you don't have to fix anything, just setup dyndns (using, for example, ddclient); if you have a router, make sure you forward port 80 to this machine [11:44] ok [11:44] is it possible (beforehand) to allow all users to use wlans that will be added in the future? if it is, how? this should be done using network-manager [11:44] mrphoenix: Does alsamixer show anything? Toggle mute on tracks with m and navigate with arrows [11:45] well alsamixer shows full volumen on [11:45] mrphoenix, you could of had any interface alongside gnome! selecting from the login screen! [11:45] I have managed to do grub-install on the wrong partition. It was a Ubuntu 10 64 bit runnig next to Windows 7 using wubi.

I don't have that network available at the moment nor will I be available to help with the computer when the wlan is available.

[11:49] soreau, no worries :) [11:50] soreau: that's the problem, I don't know its name/ssid and there will more than just one network [11:50] artnay: So what is your question? We cant help you predict the future or travel through time ;) [11:50] artnay: how did you think you connected to wlan if you have got no info on it ? [11:51] I have no info of those wlan networks at the moment. I'll be giving this laptop to non-technical person and there will be more than 1 user using this laptop. [11:51] artnay: it is running ubuntu-gnome right ? [11:52] so network-manager should automatically share all the wlan networks (that will be added in the future) to all users [11:52] mrphoenix: it is [11:52] During an upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 my laptop powered off due to tempature threshold and now its somewhere between 10.04 and 10.10 rendering x-window broken... I booted into x-window using the 1.10.desktop CD, is there a way to continue og restart the upgrade using the CD? or some other way? [11:52] artnay: there is the nice autodiscover networks in range in gnome, all you need then is the password same as on windows === cferthorney is now known as cferthorney|afk [11:53] qdk, there is, you should mount your filesystem on the live cd, chroot and run 'dpkg --configure -a' and then 'apt-get upgrade' [11:53] currently network-manager requires user to interact with the checkbox under connection properties AFTER the connection has been established. [11:53] During an upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 my laptop powered off due to tempature threshold and now its somewhere between 10.04 and 10.10 rendering x-window broken... I booted into x-window using the 10.10 desktop CD, is there a way to continue og restart the upgrade using the CD? or some other way? (typo fixed) [11:53] mrphoenix: that doesn't answer the question [11:54] Sonne: Thanks... ill try that. [11:54] artnay: well I don't think there is anything better. At least not that I know of [11:54] artnay: You would probably either have to do some programming or figure out if that setting is toggleable via gconf then write a script or something [11:54] qdk, make sure you also mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev, as well as /proc (assuming you are familiar with this command) [11:55] soreau: yeah, I thought so. I tried to look for a hint from network-manager documentation but it didn't help much [11:55] Right now I'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS, on a laptop with an ATI R300 based chip...and a game keeps crashing, and I suspect it's the open source Radeon Driver's fault... so is 8.04 still getting security updates, and is it old enough to have the proprietary ATI driver with R300 support? [11:55] Hi [11:55] Sonne: Yeah, checkup on my chroot notes before trying the actual upgrade. :-) [11:55] thanks anyways, I'll have to look at wicd / connman (another options for network-manager) [11:56] Hi all, when running a live session from a usb flash drive with persistance enabled on the usb drive (made with the Universal USB Installer) will it save wi-fi keys and installed packages in the next session? [11:58] Cant I disable one Icon from indicator applent? [11:58] i dont want that mail cover Icon === alakoo_ is now known as alakoo [12:01] thrillERboy: kill evolution [12:02] my system isn't allowing incoming connections. I can ping other systems on the network, but they can't ping me [12:02] hi. i accidently set up two screensavers on my system by installing xscreensaver manually. does anyone know how to reset the mess to default? [12:03] user82, tried uninstalling? [12:03] Sonne, i uninstalled xscreensaver the system->screensaver link disappeard but it still works [12:04] I uninstalled evloution but still the icon is there [12:04] can i blacklist it somehow in the etc/ files? [12:04] user82, try a dpkg -l | grep screensaver [12:05] can someone help me figure out why my system is blocking incoming network connections? [12:05] LYoung, sudo iptables -L [12:05] Sonne, http://pastie.org/1540458 [12:06] xscreensaver is still installed? [12:06] user82, yep [12:06] at least, so it seems [12:06] so how do i remove it? [12:06] LYoung: tail /var/log/dmesg [12:06] dkpg somehwo? [12:06] germanporn looks like just the table headers [12:06] try apt-get --purge remove xscreensaver.* [12:07] Sonne, thx its gone [12:07] and you also have both kscreensaver and gnome-screensaver [12:07] LYoung, 3 x policy ACCEPT? [12:07] they shouldn't start simultaneously thohough [12:07] juk: eth5 NIC Link is Up 1000Mpbs Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX [12:07] germanporn: yes [12:07] they did, know i left the xscreensaver extras which gnome screensaver detects but only one is started/active now [12:08] user82, that's good [12:08] LYoung, the problem is that you can ping them, but "they" can't ping you? Where are they? local network? Internett? [12:08] -t [12:09] local network [12:09] Sonne, neither synaptic manager nor the software center said xscreensaver is still installed [12:09] but now its really kicked down the system [12:09] LYoung, and you pc/server have a local ip? [12:09] great [12:09] yes, but it's completely different to all the others... the others have 192.168.*.* but this one has 10.0.*.* [12:10] LYoung: look it yourself, see if any messages saying blocking incoming [12:10] Sonne: I get a lot of dependencies errors and dpkg halt due to many errors when I run dpkg --configure -a [12:10] nothing like that here juk [12:11] * Kartagis it is also xchat's [12:11] Does anyone know when running a live session from a usb flash drive with persistance enabled on the usb drive (made with the Universal USB Installer) can it remember wi-fi keys and installed packages from session to session? [12:12] LYoung, well if you can ping them and get a icmp reply then routing should be fine, but you are going true a gateway, that might be a firewall blocking icimp from 192.168.* to 10.10.* [12:12] LYoung: tail /var/log/syslog ? [12:12] runningwater: yes [12:13] LYoung: yeah probably it's your router not forwarding, connection is not local right? [12:14] hey BromaxSux, ubuntu hardy supprt is going to expire in april '11 , so tell me if i m not going to get any download for it after april? [12:14] what do i need for windows games with dx. wine only or is there more i need? [12:14] BromaxSux: excellent news! thanks [12:14] syslog says "no server suitable for synchronization found" [12:14] just after "eth5: no IPv6 routers present" [12:15] Hi all [12:15] otherwise it just has a log of the ip address assignment [12:15] How to see file's creation/modification/last access time? [12:15] there is nothing about it in Nautilus [12:16] MegaHerz: in Properties? [12:16] MegaHerz, rt clik doesnt tell u? [12:16] * frogzoo wonders why I can only get 380kbps max data out of my 3G phone [12:17] MegaHerz: you can use « stat » in a terminal but read: http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/ctime_atime_mtime.html [12:17] I need to compare binary files and replace instances where data was zerofilled with the actual data... any ideas how to go about doing that, preferably in the most efficient manner possible? [12:17] MegaHerz: it shows modification time, unix does not store anywhere the creation time ( ctime is another thing entirely ) [12:17] tehbaut: rsync doesn't work? [12:17] erUSUL: nothin into there [12:17] hi! I'm planning to write a script which creates a reverse ssh tunnel. my problem is, that ssh tunnels die after a certain amount of time. does anybody know a way to check if the tunnel died on the host which creates the tunnel? [12:18] rsh: no [12:18] tehbaut: you can do it in emacs' binary mode [12:18] jrib: thanks I'll try! [12:18] hi, how can see (only see) .vsd files in ubuntu? [12:18] MegaHerz: in properties nautilus show mtime. [12:18] jrib: :beer: many thanks [12:18] it's ms visio [12:18] erUSUL: nothing here, I swear, confused.. [12:19] i think the chromium ffmpeg update pwned my sound, did anyone else have a problem like that (equal chance my usb headset crapped out) [12:19] juk : my connection is purely local on ubuntu... its running on virtualbox. I just want it to talk to the host machine and other virtual systems running on the host [12:19] erUSUL: its sad, there is no way to see creation time. I needed it very much ( [12:20] erUSUL: otherwise I can't tell when I had started my work at my new job lol [12:20] erUSUL: calculating salary at the moment )) [12:21] MegaHerz, i m with u . yeah u pointed out right. i 2 m not getting it [12:22] NEED VISIO VIEWER ON UBUNTU [12:22] farciarz84: doesn't exist [12:22] farciarz84: no way man, use vbox [12:23] farciarz84: or ask someone with Visio to print into a pdf [12:23] oh, I forgot, windows is unable to print into pdf [12:24] need $100+ more for Acrobat for this, lol ) [12:24] or.. PDFCreator [12:25] jrib: not sure if rsync can replace just zerofill... I have no idea if the zerofilled files will be on the source or destination, so I don't want to accidentally replace the destination if it's the more complete file... not sure if rsync can handle that [12:25] but I don't want to go through each file one by one [12:25] hi, I am having massive trouble getting an orange 3g stick to work [12:25] frogzoo: ^^ [12:26] all googling shows immensely complicated setups, which I cannot expect an end-user to do [12:27] can we upgrade the ubuntu 9.04 directly to 10.10 ? [12:27] I'm running ubuntu 10.04 server on virtualbox and it's not allowing incoming connections. My routing tables are fine and I can ping the host OS from ubuntu, but I can't ping ubuntu from the host [12:27] jrib: in fact, I know that most of the files on the destination are more complete than the source, but the destination is also missing several files that the source has, so that's another tricky spot in this endeavor [12:27] threegee: if getting it to work with pppd is too hard (scripts), then you'll either have to wait & hope next ubunut releases a fix, or use a different dongle [12:28] frogzoo are there any scripts already out there I can use, or do I have to make my own? all instructions I have followed have resulted in the OS not booting [12:28] LYoung, shut down ubuntu, in vbox find your network setting for the ubuntu vm and put the interface to bridged [12:29] threegee: if you don't know what you're doing, it will be painful, and very likely fruitless [12:29] frogzoo, Im not too bad at linux and it isnt like I have a choice. I *have* to get this working today for a customer :( [12:29] italiani [12:30] C'è qualcuno? [12:30] !it | il-dark-italy [12:31] il-dark-italy: 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) [12:31] help ubuntu camfrog video chat for ubuntu [12:31] ok [12:32] germanporn : all sorted now :) thanks [12:32] LYoung, np [12:32] threegee: when you plug it in, does dmesg show it recognising a 3G modem? [12:32] my mistake [12:32] frogzoo, it appears so [12:32] threegee: eg: [ 4181.716177] usb 2-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [12:32] now I can ping into ubuntu but not out [12:32] frogzoo, yes it does [12:33] threegee: would it be acceptable if the user has to "pon" to bring the modem up? [12:33] frogzoo, yes it should [12:33] I have a problem after "sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" -> my icons are away :( can somebody help?? [12:34] frogzoo, i have to afk for a few minutes, please dont think i am ignoring you :) [12:34] threegee: then tweak /etc/ppp/peers/provider and that should do it [12:34] threegee: but I have to snooze about now [12:35] germanporn : setting it to use a bridged interface just reversed the problem. I can now ping ubuntu from the host OS, but I can't ping the host OS from ubuntu [12:43] is ubuntu 11.04 is stable? [12:43] vivek_: that would be a No. [12:43] ! stable [12:43] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. [12:44] heh [12:44] since itzs in alpha-testing :) [12:44] ! 11.04 [12:44] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [12:44] naughty narwhal [12:44] 'if you have to ask....' :) Its best to not use it. [12:44] I don't suppose there are any home theatre system forums or chatrooms/channels anyone can refer me to, is there? [12:45] Stable doesn't mean stable. Stable means "this shouldn't break, we think, and there's been some testing to prevent things from getting worse..." [12:45] aerofly5: #mythbuntu or #mythtv may know some places to check out [12:45] aerofly5: ##hardware -- I'm not sure if what you want is computer-related or not. [12:45] kiaas: i thought that was the very definition of stable [12:45] <[bean]> kiaas, that sounds like stable to me. stable doesnt mean without flaws [12:46] stable = stale [12:46] no, stable = stable :) [12:46] <[bean]> stable = place to put horses [12:46] last 'review/video roundup' of 11.04 features. the artical said it took him 4+ hrs to manage to get a 4+min video clip working to show the featuers. :) i will wait a while befor trying it. [12:47] Well, I have a desktop with a bad PSU, seems stable to me. It really -should- break though. [12:47] so I wouldn't define it as stable. [12:47] it's stable until it becomes unstable. that's when the horseys escape [12:48] <[bean]> kiaas, you can argue any viewpoint, stable doesnt mean without flaws, it means that its been fixed to a point there shouldnt be any universal problems. some problems are very hardware specific [12:48] downloading Ubuntu 8.04 to install on this laptop running 10.04... I need them old proprietary ATI drivers for stable functioning. [12:49] install debian 6.0 [12:49] :) [12:49] new kid on the block [12:50] kiaas: fglrx is not stable. Use latest radeon bits with gallium [12:50] trying to play minecraft, and it crashes within about a minute 30 seconds, with the errors indicating it was the radeon driver [12:51] hey hi !! [12:51] kiaas: gall-i-um. [12:52] Hi! Can anybody tell me how can I determine my wifi card according to this website ? (I am talking about ieee80211 patches) http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=install_drivers [12:52] Williams: If its a pci card, use lspci [12:53] how do I stop sshd from running at startup? Just want it around for when I need it..... [12:53] Williams: Most chips have drivers already installed and working by default [12:53] And it is as I am now online [12:53] mongy: edit /etc/init/ssh.conf and add "never" as a condition for it to start === fslomka is now known as gugaua2 [12:53] mongy: chmod -x /etc/init.d/sshd [12:54] hmm smuxi ist interessanter [12:54] Williams: and do iwconfig to see if it's not already loaded [12:54] verac: fuck off [12:54] soreau, mongy: removing the execute bit on /etc/init.d/ssh won't work I think as ssh is an upstart job (I know the init.d script is also there but that's for a different reason) [12:54] Williams: Oh, your saying it's already working? [12:54] !language | rafael [12:54] rafael: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [12:54] ! language | rafael [12:54] But I need to patch them, maybe I formulated my question in a bit wrong way. I know my wifi card, but still which patch should I use ? Again this website http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=install_drivers [12:55] Williams: What makes you think you need a patch? [12:55] Williams: If it is working, why do anything? [12:55] the use of the /etc/init.d/ssh* i think is for the oldtimers with the habbits of using /etc/init.d/whatever type commands. :) its best to use the service command. [12:55] For aircrack [12:55] Williams: What is aircrack? [12:55] Hi i installed a fresh ubuntu 10.04 64Bit and made an svn checkout with (svn+ssh:// ... ) but it always says "Network connection closed" [12:55] aircrack-ng, wireless network "hacking" [12:55] jrib, soreau what about mysqld? How can I tell which process is upstart and which isnt? (confusion) [12:56] Dr_Willis: service won't be able to disable services at startup. [12:56] Williams: We do not support network hacking [12:56] mongy: if there is a /etc/init/WHATEVER.conf, it's an upstart job [12:56] well it isn't, I just need to patch my wifi card drivers :) [12:56] [PROBLEM] Bluetooth dongle dies every few minutes only when using BT mouse http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668076 [12:56] Williams: But what is it exactly that you want to do? [12:56] jrib: yep youre right [12:57] Williams: What is it that the NIC needs to do that it is not doing? (It is connecting you to the network, right?) [12:57] jrib, ah ok. Where do I put 'never' ? 'start on filesystem < change to never ? [12:57] Williams: go to #remote-exploit [12:57] Williams: ask in #aircrack-ng or on their forums. We only support official ubuntu packages here [12:57] mongy: i think so. one way to find out. [12:58] jrib, thought there would be a simple command like start/stop . :? [12:58] I wonder if we are going to be getting some gui-upstart admin tools sometime soon. [12:58] mongy: I like to do: "start on never and filesystem" (I think you can also just comment the start clause entirely, but not sure) [12:58] mongy: not to disable the service from booting.. [12:58] mongy: service ssh start/stop/restart [12:58] mongy: service command can be used to start and stop it as needed.. but it would still be starting at boot time. === catalyst is now known as Guest44779 [12:58] but yea, ubuntu could stand a bit better management in that area [12:59] mongy: might need to do: "start on (never and filesystem)" I'm not sure as all the jobs I've disabled already had the parentheses to begin with [12:59] Dr_Willis, soreau: yeah having an equivalent to sysv-rc-conf would be nice... [13:00] Dr_Willis: What other os does that? syssv-rc-conf ? [13:00] Ok thanks anyway guys [13:00] okay i am having trouble with my install.... hardy installs just fine. after upgrade to lucid it loses video. natty installs just fine after partial upgrade video fails. [13:00] usr13: not really noticed.. you can just rename the /etc/init/ssh.conf to be /etc/init/ssh.DONTSTART but i think that also keeps you from starting ssh manually. [13:01] sysv-rc-conf is Run-level configuration for SysV like init script links and we have left the run-level system behind. [13:01] Hi All, with ubuntu defaulting to unity in the next release. Does unity allow you to create shortcuts and folders actually on the desktop or is it locked out? also can the sidebar be moved to say the bottom. [13:01] Dr_Willis, soreau: https://bugs.launchpad.net/upstart/+bug/94065 some day I guess... [13:01] anyone here uses dell perc5 controller with ubuntu? [13:02] ! 11.04 | smittix [13:02] smittix: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [13:02] some day? systemd will be there some day and upstart be history [13:02] ! anyone | XLV [13:02] XLV: 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? [13:02] Dr_Willis: But if the system is booted up, you would also need to turn the service off, so it is a 2 step process. [13:03] Anyone know a good responsive gaming keyboard with backlighting that all the features work with linux? I'd prefer if the backlighting is blue, to match my computer with blue led fans and the razor deathadder mouse i'm planning on getting. [13:05] where is a good place to get actual support? [13:05] soreau, touche.. and you're right.. so, i read in some links that the hdds connected to dell perc5 are visible from linux, along with whatever raid array you set up http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279687 .. this would be great, cause i am thinking of getting a used perc5 i found for cheap, but not use its raid5 hardware functions, but continue using linux software raid5 i do now, as a way to further decrease the possibilities of problems with controll [13:05] er dieing, or misbehaving, and also keeping the possibility of moving the array easily to different type of controller [13:05] galamar: right here, ask your question [13:06] soreau, so i would want to verify that that function of perc5 is as described, before i get the perc5 controller [13:06] galamar: For what? [13:06] galamar: For Ubuntu? Yes, here.... [13:08] soreau, so basically for the time being at least, i would like to use the perc5 conroller as a simple sata/sas controller, i was thinking it would be possible if i set raid0 or 1 arrays each containing a single hdd connected to the perc5, but if i dont even need to do that ( as it seems ) it would be even better [13:08] the main problem is video every ubuntu loses video on me after install or upgrade.... hardy works fine.. lucid fails.. natty works until partial upgrade. [13:09] the installers of several other linux distros will not keep video for the install? [13:09] XLV: Ask the channel, I dont know about that stuff [13:09] galamar: don't do partial upgrades. [13:09] soreau, ok.. anyone? :P [13:09] well to late now.. [13:10] i didnt even want natty but it was working. [13:11] and no one in ubuntu would help me always send me to #ubuntu+1 well nobody ever talks in there. [13:12] i had installed kde on my computer, how can i completely remove it now? [13:12] now i use gnome? [13:13] !pure-gnome [13:13] is anybody able to get a core i5/core i7 laptop to suspend or hibernate ?

[13:17] hello, I think to have ubuntu lucid, but now I should install some packages there are only available for ubuntu natty, what should I do? [13:18] galamar: did you try nvidia-detector or nvidia-installer? [13:18] !nvidia [13:18] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:18] is it okay to just keep running hardy? [13:18] mm4: depends on how imorntant your system is.. installing packages from other releases. can cause major breakage [13:19] galamar, the supplied nvidia driver with ubuntu doesnt work? [13:19] mm4: in many cases you can use backports or ppa before you try move up to something like that, might be better to tell us what app you are looking to install [13:19] galamar: You should upgrade to 10.04 [13:19] galamar, what card is it ? etc [13:20] sacarlson, I want to install this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/natty/boost1.42 [13:20] !info boost [13:20] Package boost does not exist in maverick [13:21] usr13: yes i do upgrade and than it doesnt work after upgrade. i get notices about openssl-blacklist and a linux restricted module for the video card than when it reboots my monitor goes to sleep forever [13:22] galamar: Are you on 8.04 or 10.04? [13:23] mm4: it apears it's also in maveric so why would you need to move to natty? http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/maverick/boost1.42 [13:23] 10.04 now just upgraded from 8.04 (6 hours).... [13:24] and peo0ple wonder why i always do clean installs... :) [13:25] galamar: What does lspci say about your Video Card? [13:26] galamar: And what problem are you having with it? Not getting proper screensize for the monitor? or what? [13:27] !nvidia | galamar [13:27] galamar: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:27] usr13:i cant see 10.04 at all. after boot screen i get grub loading 1.5.... than the screen flashes shows a "Geforce nvidia (some numbers) than my monitor goes to power save mode.. [13:28] galamar: and you can't wake it up? [13:28] which is the best media player out there for ubuntu 10.04 LTS [13:28] ?

[13:28] usr13: nope not at all.. and it works just fine before upgrade [13:29] galamar: What method did you use to do the 8.04 to 10.04 upgrade? [13:29] usr13: internet [13:30] No no no. I am not going for any poll. I just installed ubuntu. I am wondering which media player to use. [13:30] galamar: Was the process interrupted in any way? In other words, did you get the upgrade done successfully? [13:30] Could you tell me what you use ubottu?

[13:38] edwardteach: my wireless is working fine [13:38] chrono86, i mean or iwconfg ! [13:38] qdk: depends when the power outage happened. Have you attempted to simply upgrade again?

[13:39] edwardteach: it's the indicator applet in general i'm having problems with...if i change the status icons in my theme folder the applet won't update with the new icons, it continues to use the old ones [13:39] jrib: about when the new package were being set up... after reboot the X still says 10.04, but its broken so I can not login. [13:39] qdk: can you log in at a tty? [13:39] galamar: I'm not sure but I think you need to get the 10.04 alternative CD and try recovery option. I think that the upgrade process did not finish. If you rebooted before the process was completely done, well, I'm not sure what to do from there... other than to start over and re-install. I've not yet run into such a problem. [13:40] raisin_: I use rythmbox, as i'm not a big person on storing music, I prefer a streaming country radio station playing [13:40] jrib: no, I even tried booting into single, which doesnt work either.

Right? [13:41] jrib: The computer shutdowndue to overheating... or at least thats what some autobullshit thinks when reaching 100c for a short while.

[13:48] qdk: right. So I'm asking you to tell me exactly what happens when you try to log in at tty1 [13:48] usr13: i think it may just be freezing while booting. ctrl alt f6 does nothing. but if i try to boot with the 2.24 kernel it keeps video but says something went wrong dropping to shell but it freezes [13:48] jrib: I cant. The keyboard doesnt work. [13:49] qdk: good, that's important information. Does the keyboard also not work in recovery mode? [13:49] hello [13:49] any solution found for flash sound lag issue?

[13:51] then it runs but you can't see it, because it has no graphical interface [13:51] Sonne: but it has a while(1) statement [13:51] giannis, then it's probably still running.. check a ps auxw [13:51] hi [13:51] galamar: Ok, then, if you can not boot any of the kernels listed, then it is not able to boot. I do not think the upgrade process completed successfully, and as I said, I do not know for sure what you need to do from there. You might download and burn the 10.04 alternate CD and see what you can do with that. Try recovery mode, but if the system has been damaged by a partial upgrade, I think you will more-than-likely have to re-install. At any rate, you wil [13:52] qdk: "recovery mode" from the grub menu.

[13:57] usr13: 7_i386.deb [13:57] also, you might want to poke a bit with fork() so you can run daemons from the terminal as well :) [13:58] Landstalker: I'd just use sed [13:58] Sonne: if i build a gui...it will be able to start it from the gui right? [13:58] Landstalker: if comments are lines that begin with # maybe this will work --> 'toupper($0) ~ / BINDIR[;\.,!? ]/ && ! $0 ~ /^#/ ) {print "BINDIR=/opt/giza-pp/"}' [13:59] giannis, that's not the point. if you are programming a daemon, then it should definitely have no user interface.

And that is broken too. so Im trying to chroot into the disk (using desktop bootcd) which is spoke a bit about with Sonne earlier.

[13:59] jrib igot some output [14:00] sometimes i noticed that dpkg errors diminish over time up to eventually fixing :) [14:00] qdk: yes, recovery mode is the same. I'm just asking how you entered it because I've seen people call lots of different things single user mode.

[15:00] red2kic_: same behavior: vlc launches, tries to play dban.iso [15:01] vingian: you are removing a package you do not have installed afaics. that's why nothing happens. as to why the system wants to install default-jre and default-jre-headless it is probably becouse some other package depends on it ( openoffice for instance ) [15:01] phaedral: Okay. What are you trying to do? VLC clearly can't play dban.iso. Use Brasero to burn it. [15:01] erUSUL: I already removed openoffice [15:01] red2kic_: I'm not trying to burn it at all. For starters I would just like to see it in the directory. [15:01] erUSUL: and the only reason I attempted to remove the openjdk packages was because i was being forced to upgrade [15:02] crunchgang.iso, not dban [15:02] I uninstalled vlc for the moment, and can now at least get a nautilus window instead of vlc [15:02] vingian, I believe he was using open office as an example not as the source [15:02] vingian: run « aptitude why default-jre » that should tell why the system want to install it [15:02] but still can't see crunchbang.iso, despite transmission clearly showing it as in ~/Downloads [15:03] erUSUL: do you have any idea why my 'next' button don't light up ?

[15:03] phaedral: Check Transmission setting. Sometimes it have incomplete option. Try "nautilus -q" -- It'll restart nautilus. [15:04] erUSUL: while installing ubunto 10.10 on a netbook (by flashdrive) in the screen 'who are you' the 'next' button don't light up [15:04] vingian: apt-cache policy openjdk-6-jre === people is now known as Guest11869 [15:04] erUSUL: thankx! libaccess-java - Java Access bridge for GNOME seems to be the culprit [15:04] rooooooood: maybe you have not filled all the fields that need to be filled before continuing? === dtcrshr is now known as datacrusher [15:05] vingian: no problem [15:05] grrr Why can't I add a user to have ssh access? [15:05] it's gotta be a transmission thing; killed nautilus, still don't see file in either nautilus nor shell windo with ls -al [15:05] erUSUL: no, i'm sure i filled everything... === herton is now known as herton_lunch [15:05] rooooooood: is the step where you put your password? maybe it is too weak ? [15:05] erUSUL: apt-cache seems to concur - openjdk-6-jre is installed [15:06] erUSUL: now what is the Java access bridge? [15:06] vingian: no idea [15:06] erUSUL: i'm trying this right now, but i don't think it'll work [15:06] !info libaccess-java [15:07] Package libaccess-java does not exist in maverick [15:07] ro [15:07] !info libaccess-bridge-java [15:07] libaccess-bridge-java (source: java-access-bridge): Java Access Bridge for GNOME.

[15:08] erUSUL: didn't worked [15:08] superman12: append to what? [15:08] ok so i understood that inorder to properly partition the unused space on my drive for linux i will have to unmount all the drive to be able to install ubuntu? [15:08] erUSUL: going to lunch. be right back [15:08] superman12: if you have scp/sftp you have ssh and you can run commands like cat in the remote system ? [15:09] superman12: ah, put together [15:09] simisu: yes, you can't modify partitions while it's mounted [15:09] yep but only with ssh not with any of the transfer protocols? [15:09] ok... and which program do i use to do that? [15:09] superman12, ssh is the way to go ! [15:10] will i have to mount all the drives back later? [15:10] superman12: ssh user@host 'cat file1 file2 > file_total' [15:10] erUSUL: thanks - that was the only annoying thing using the openjdk packages [15:10] vingian: no problem [15:10] erUSUL thanks i will try [15:11] the reason it became annoying was because it was breaking my other java apps which are using the SUN JDK... [15:11] #ubuntu-in [15:11] superman12: you can use curl wget as well for unsecured connection [15:11] Hey peeps, I have a network drive that I can't access from my ubuntu machine, i've installed pyneighborhood hoping it would help but it doesn't see it... I'm running out of ideas can anyone help? [15:11] please litle help [15:11] hi everyone ! [15:11] vingian: if you used the apt to install sun's java it shouldn't be a problem at all [15:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/564496/ [15:12] erUSUL: well I have installed sun's jdk - but directly [15:12] erUSUL: apt has sun's jdk? [15:12] is it normal for my /etc/security/limits.conf to be empty? [15:12] I want to find all the files ending with ".jpg" with find | grep .jpg but this command gives me every file that contain "jpg" in it's name. How can I fix that ?

[15:12] vingian: in the partners repo [15:13] and give me this error [15:13] lunavorax: find /path/ -iname "*.jpg" [15:13] but the path is ok [15:13] by empty i mean it has only commentaries in it (#) [15:13] Klan: what command exactly gives this error? [15:13] thanks Pici [15:13] erUSUL: ok - lemme check what version is available in the partner repo [15:13] what program do i use to unmount my drive?

[15:16] Klan: type -P tar [15:16] rebooted [15:16] gues so [15:16] is any solution [15:16] Klan: "type -P tar" what returns ? [15:16] i try install tar from packages [15:16] but [15:16] the same error [15:16] hi, I'm looking to bypass the login screen that asks you to solect a user [15:16] transmission shows crunchbang.iso in ~/Downloads; neither nautilus nor terminal will show file [15:17] *to selecta user when booting ubuntu [15:17] ah, found it :) [15:17] type -P tar return nothing [15:17] http://www.winsupersite.com/article/win7/clean-install-windows-7-with-upgrade-media.aspx [15:17] Klan: yep is a catch-22 situation... you need to dpkg t install tar but dpkg needs tar to work [15:18] :) [15:18] tommylommykins: Okay. Look in Login Options (under System). [15:18] sad situation [15:18] :) [15:18] ok thanks for help [15:19] Hi, I have Ubuntu 10.10 desktop. Two 1TB Drives, 2GB swap on sda1, / is mounted on 100GB sda2, rest of space (~900GB) is not partitioned. on sdb I have one ext4 1TB partition (sdb1) containing media files shared with Samba. I want more space for the shared media so I'm wondering if it's possible to connect sdb1 and sda3 to one virtual 1.9TB partition without losing the data currently on sdb1. Thanks in advance for the help. [15:19] this is onething I do not like about the way java is packaged in ubuntu - i want to install the jdk and it wants to install junit4, servlet2.5 etc. [15:19] why?

[15:21] ok, next question, I'm aware that vga=foo is deprecated, but I can't find some explatation as to how tuo use gfxpayload instead [15:21] eoeu|.~. [15:21] even the sun-java6- packages have screwed up dependencies [15:21] hey, i´m pretty lost here... can you please help me with this HD issue... i can´t figure out which program to use to unmount the drives so i could partition and install linux, thanks in advance!

[15:22] superman12: then ssh to go as said erUSUL [15:22] is there any way to change skype notifications color? they are appearing as white text with yellow background and are very hard to read [15:22] libosgi - libfelix? seriously - these have nothing to do with just the JDK [15:23] Pici, this command doesn't work :/ [15:23] uninstall do a sistem coruption [15:23] and vingian if I ask for help, that means I'm stuck even with the man [15:23] does anyone have any idea about how much it costs to replace a laptop 15.5inch lcd screen? (acer) [15:23] Can anyone help me? Whenever I do glxgears it says segmentation fault. [15:23] same with glxdemo [15:24] m4rtin: but my drive has already been partitioned in windows and it tells me i can´t have more then one primary partition [15:24] Goliath it gonna be expensive [15:24] and the same with glxinfo [15:24] might as well get a new one [15:24] lunavorax: You need to replace /path/ with where you are searching or . for current directory.

[15:26] RedXIII, uninstall fglrx, install radeon [15:26] MikeChelen: Which one is the driver?

[15:28] RedXIII: this command sometimes helps me: sudo aticonfig --initial [15:28] MikeChelen: Do I -have- to disable the discrete graphics for ubuntu to work? [15:28] i might try wubi then [15:28] thanks [15:29] RedXIII: probably not, just might make things easier [15:29] i mean, how can i force nautilus to search hidden files, also? [15:29] I tried the aticonfig, same issue with glxinfo [15:29] Segmentation Fault [15:29] JackStrawFromWic: not too expensive as some say [15:30] RedXIII: might want to open synaptic and see if you really have the fglrx packages installed ok [15:30] Goliath: yeah if it's not some crazy big or sweet screen they're typically under 100 bones [15:30] as long as you can replace it yourself [15:31] MikeChelen: It says installed [15:31] bc81, edit - preferences - view - show hidden files - in nautilus [15:31] Should I --reinstall it? [15:31] RedXIII: which packages are installed already, all the ones from a fglrx search? [15:31] bc81: you can toggle them control+h [15:31] Its been working until recently [15:31] when i start installing ubuntu 10.10 it always says preparing to install .. so how do i rectify it ? [15:31] RedXIII: might not hurt to reinstall [15:31] Everything from "fglrx" that's not -dev [15:31] when i start installing ubuntu 10.10 it always says preparing to install .. so how do i rectify it ? [15:32] vivek_: are you installing from cd? [15:32] yes [15:32] vivek_: how long are you waiting? can take several minutes to load up. Have you tried loading into live CD first then installing when that's running? [15:32] g_0_0, juk: yes, i do toggle them before searching, but when i run the search "mime" returs nothing. try it [15:32] vivek_: could try the alternate install cd [15:32] !alternate | vivek_ [15:32] vivek_: 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 [15:33] MikeChelen: Maybe the intel video card is screwing things up [15:33] Is it possible to "disable" it [15:33] and what if i try to format the drive... why dose it give me an error?

[15:34] I'm reading the dpkg log and seeing no errors here [15:34] It reinstalled perfectly fine [15:34] and what if i try to format the drive... why dose it give me an error?

[15:35] juk, the file i'm searching for is nested within some subfolders [15:35] RedXIII: if it is an intel card maybe search for intel in synaptic? also might want to use a grub editor to select an old kernel if the problem appeared recently [15:35] bc81: ah [15:35] eh... weird [15:36] erUSUL: I dont't know why it's happening, but, I'll try install Ubuntu 10.04 [15:36] well... thx anyway MikeChelen [15:36] vivek_ i don't think you can direct upgrade from 9.04 to 10.10, you can do incremental upgrades though using the upgrade manager [15:36] laserbeam: good luck [15:36] MikeChelen: I uninstalled my old kernels D: === peppe__ is now known as Guest9578 [15:36] !upgrade | vivek_ [15:36] vivek_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [15:36] I recently updated to head too [15:36] MikeChelen: i have 9.04 now shall i upgrade it to 10.10 direcly?

I was using ubuntu 9.10 koala karmic on old PC till 2 days ago. I was thinking either upgrade up to 10.10 ubuntu or try l-ubunto 10.10. I chosed Lubuntu. LIVECD loaded perfectly fine until I was on my way to install it. After formatting HDD, my P...C was working damn slowly. Time for rebooting came. I rebooted and my HDD just dissapeared even from BIOS! I tried some tricks like reseti [16:08] ng BIOS settings to default and changing IDE cables. BIOS recognized my dvd-rw device perfectly fine, but my HDD... I was rebooting the machine many times while BIOS catch HDD.But when BIOS got it, HDD write/read speeds are awful. I tried to install 10.10 again, but it happened the same (my HDD dissapeared once again)... My friend gave me windows xp disc and installation time was increased. It usually takes ~40minutes, but now - [16:08] it took 1h and 15m. And booting time was increased from ~1m to... 5minutes. What lubuntu has done to my HDD? How can i fix this issue? :( PS: for more information my HDD is 20gb MAXTOR 2F020J0.

[16:13] how do I disable DHCP on eth0 of ubuntu? I am not using network manager, just static, but I read dhcp can still conflict. How can I disable? [16:14] Roasted_, /etc/network/interfaces [16:14] v0lksman, already did it. [16:14] jpiccolo: "sudo nmap -p22,22333 " [16:14] v0lksman, the problem is when I reboot, my network interface file COMPLETELY removes the static entry I put in. [16:14] how can I see what version of software is in a package? [16:14] v0lksman, I read it may be due to DHCP still being active in the background, so I want to disable it. But if I remove it, it wants me to remove all ebox packages. I CANNOT uninstall ebox. [16:14] apt-cache policy [16:14] Roasted_, disable network manager? [16:14] Roasted_: disable nm from startup [16:14] v0lksman, I uninstalled network manager. [16:14] juk, ^ [16:15] ok how do i update clamav sigs [16:15] Roasted_, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [16:15] llutz, well i just turned off SPI firewall at my router [16:15] thanks for helping... the problem was the capital leter [16:15] jpiccolo: check iptables on your vps too [16:16] hello [16:16] BluesKaj, I've already done all of that. [16:16] This is ridiculous. Why is Ubuntu magically removing my static entry of my interface file. [16:16] Roasted_: you don't even need to remove nm, you just add the interface to /etc/network/interfaces and nm will not touch it. Something else is responsible. If you want me to make me a guess: ebox [16:16] jrib, I cannot uninstall ebox. It is a server admin package we use. If I remove ebox, I remove the whole point of running linux in the first place. [16:17] Roasted_: I did not tell you to uninstall it. I'm only suggesting you look into it as a possible cause. [16:17] Roasted_: maybe: http://trac.zentyal.org/ticket/2088 [16:17] jrib, I'm not sure how it would be causing an issue. There are no settings specific to it. It just piggy backs the IP of the server. [16:17] llutz, iptables wasn't installed [16:17] I've never had an issue hard coding my interface in interfaces...nothing overwrites it by default [16:18] Anyone know what version of postgres is installed when you type 'apt-get install postgres'? [16:18] I'm on linux Mint (I guess ubuntu, really!) and have some trouble with the "clipboard" (if you can excuse my windows-ism, I'm new to this). When pasting text, middle clicking is sometimes different than shift+insert. Can someone explain? [16:18] jrib, hmm [16:18] apt-cache policy DogWater [16:18] jrib, so that begs the obvious question - how do I work around it [16:18] DogWater: apt-cache show postgres does it [16:18] * v0lksman bows to jrib [16:18] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554099?comments=all where IS this fix? [16:18] eww, 8.4 [16:19] DogWater: apt-cache check [16:19] Roasted_: that bug suggests it only happens when you install ebox network module, so there might be nothing to workaround. Does the file consistently get overwritten? When does it get overwritten? Every reboot? Or it only happened once? [16:19] Gartral: You may want to ask #ubuntu-bugs how the Bug Watch Updater knew to mark it like that. [16:20] Hi! I tried to upgrade my Ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10. I got an error but found out (on Ubuntu Forums) that i needed to delete xserver-xorg-video-nouvau. Then I tried to upgrade. It didnt work, and when I'm entering the "upgrade option" I just get the error message: "E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/no.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_universe_binary-i386_Packages" [16:20] roasted then you haven't saved the /etc/network/interfaces file . make sure you're not still using dhcp in the 2nd line , it should read :iface eth0 inet static [16:20] jrib, a while after I reboot. earlier I rebooted and looked at my interface file, it was default. I was like what the?! so I added the eth0 entry, rebooted, and checked it RIGHT away. it was fine. Within 30 seconds, it said "the file has changed, would you like to reload?' I hit reload and it reverted again. [16:20] jukselapp: sudo rm -fv /var/lib/apt/lists/*; sudo apt-get update [16:21] Pici I'm just wondering if the fixed portions are available as a kernel module, My computer has a TPM that WILL NOT boot anything but a specific vendor-provided kernel.. [16:21] jrib, nice - the dependencies for the 2 modules I use in ebox don't require network. Disabling the network module now. [16:21] jpds: thanks, I'm trying it now [16:21] jukselapp: and maybe pastebin your sources.list, case of messy [16:21] Roasted_: ok though what you describe suggests it's not that bug. Worth a try anyway [16:22] jrib, what makes you think it doesn't sound like that bug? It overwrites the network/interface file. That's what's happening to me..... [16:22] jpds: It says: "E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/no.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_main_binary-i386_Packages" [16:22] jukselapp: Hmm, odd. [16:23] Roasted_: but the reporter says it only happened when he installed the ebox module (a one time thing). At least that's how I read it and I don't use ebox so maybe I'm misunderstanding. In any case, it's worth a try [16:23] " [16:23] E: Problem parsing dependency Depends [16:23] E: Feil oppsto under behandling av python-evolution (NewVersion1) [16:23] E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/no.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_maverick_main_binary-i386_Packages [16:23] jukselapp: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:23] E: Pakkelista eller tilstandsfila kunne ikke fortolkes eller åpnes. [16:23] ok so i´m in the installation window ¨allocate drive space¨ and it´s asking me to go back and allocate a partition for swap space... i have only one partition i want ubuntu to use, how do i allocate the swap into that space? [16:23] Roasted_, make sure you're not still using dhcp in the 2nd line of /etc/network/interfaces , it should read: iface eth0 inet static ...don't forget to be root and save the file [16:23] jrib, further down it says this is expected behavior. [16:23] BluesKaj, the only other thing in the file is auto loopback. [16:23] jrib, so maybe it's not a "BUG" but perhaps something that needs to be worked out in conjunction with ebox to fly properly [16:24] Roasted_, then you haveb't folowed the instructions in the url i posted [16:24] BluesKaj, I did. I'm WELL ahead of those instructions. [16:24] jrib, I'm logged back in watching the interface file now. Curious if it'll come back with a reload thing when it changes like it did last time. [16:24] not if you haven't listed the IPs and gateway etc , Roasted_ [16:25] BluesKaj, I have listed the IP. and gateway. and dns. and broadcast. [16:25] BluesKaj, I wasn't kidding - I'm well beyond that :P [16:25] hi [16:25] Helo [16:25] hello party people [16:25] Roasted_: I'll be back in a few [16:26] Roasted_, you said all you have is the loopback in that file ...ok ,do it your way [16:26] Pici: can you point me too the actual fixed file? [16:26] Gartral: I can't, thats why I suggested that you ask the folks in #ubuntu-bugs why the bug watch updated marked it as fix released. [16:27] jukselapp: is pastebinit installed ? [16:27] BluesKaj, oh no no no. The only OTHER thing I have in the file is loopback. I have loopback AND static. I was answering your question into saying I do NOT have a 2nd entry with DHCP listed. [16:27] jrib, so far the file has stayed fine... [16:27] Pici: hmm.. they seem dead [16:27] hello i have problem. I want to install ai32-libs. But i have error "E: Unable to locate package ai32-libs". I tried sudo apt-get update but don't work. Can i download this package manually and install ? [16:27] server irc.videolan.org [16:27] Is there a way to make middleclick and shift+insert use the same "clipboard"? [16:27] irc.videolan.org [16:28] ok let me try one last time how do i update clamav antivirus engine [16:29] doughj3: you can install clipper, so when inserting can chooses between diffrent clipboards [16:29] Roasted_, try this to find the process which is modifying /etc/network/interfaces - http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-audit-files-to-see-who-made-changes-to-a-file.html [16:29] *glipper [16:29] Will check out glipper, thank you.

However when I run apt-get it says: "error while loading shared libraries: libapt-pkg-libc6.10-6.so.4.8 can not ope shared object file: No such file or directory." Both the live-cd and the install are kubuntu maverick 64bit [16:32] they're both just sitting there saying 'ubuntu' with the series of dots, and that's all they can do now. [16:32] Rods_Tiger: how did you put them into that state/ [16:32] one is an acer aspire one, the other is a dell mini 10v. [16:32] kaddi: can you pastebin all the output? including the commands you used to setup the chroot? [16:32] I shut them both down, I said [16:32] one sec, will do ChogyDan [16:32] Rods_Tiger: latest bios in both systems? [16:32] jrib, I think I goofed. It seems as if the network module (when installed) adds a network entry, and you can edit it. Underneath that module it was listed as not defined. In the drop down list I was able to select static and plug in the SAME settings for ebox (zentyal) to match the ubuntu box. Curious if that will fix it. [16:33] does the geforce 320M (used in mbp 13.3, mac mini) work under ubuntu? [16:33] I haven't changed the bios at any time today, but I've shut them both down plenty of times before [16:33] Rods_Tiger: that can have several meanings in itself, like shutdown -r, shutdown -p, shutdown -T 30s... :P [16:33] accel: yes, it'll work fine [16:33] is upgrading a mactel from 10.04 to 10.10 possible? i have refit installed and a osx/ubuntu dual boot.

Its missing broadcast and gateway and dns but I'm not sure if it's handling it elsewhere or not. === Abhinav1|away is now known as Abhinav1 [16:33] Rods_Tiger: hit ctrl-alt-f3 [16:33] jrib, either way the network module is used for network control via ebox so network admins dont have to do it in the OS level.

I've tried blacklisting it, catting various values to /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/level and /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/autosuspend, and so on, to no avail. Help? [16:43] jpiccolo: i'd suggest to restore default sshd_config, 1st only change "Port" and check if that works [16:43] so my on board sound card doesn't want to play nice and let me use my mic...if I attach a blue tooth dongle to the machine and use a blue tooth mic and headset will that by pass the onboard sound card or does it pass the sound to the sound card for processing?

[16:45] juk: well apparently you can.. cause that's what happened. I did not delete 2.6 I wanted to delete 2.6.33* and realised too late that the expression 2.6.33 also matches 2.6.35 === nick is now known as Guest38713 [16:45] Greetings!

You are THE man. [17:31] soreau: #jack doesn't seem to work [17:32] prohaxxor1337: Can you pastebin the output of 'cvt 1600 1400'? [17:32] great :) I got a question [17:32] UzU: /j #jack [17:32] dury, ask [17:32] is there a tiny Ubuntu distribution for old computers [17:32] soreau: http://paste.ubuntu.com/564575/ [17:33] dury: How old?

[17:33] Hi. I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 and want to use my floppy drive. Therefore I created a mount point /media/floppy and created an appropriate entry in /etc/fstab. Unfortunately the floppy sub-directory in /media doesn't survive a reboot. Any explanation/fix? [17:33] dury, xubuntu is for old pcs [17:33] AbhijiT, dury: Xubuntu isn't much better for old PCs than Ubuntu [17:34] lastm: and ther rest of system is normally usable? [17:34] AbhijiT, dury: A little better, but not by much [17:34] :/ [17:34] soreau: what is expected to get with /j #jack [17:34] ? [17:34] great guys really appreciate your support [17:34] you're welcome :D [17:34] ysis_: unless you have a floppy in the drive I don't think it will mount via fstab. Create a custom menu entry in Thunar to mount the floppy when you want it [17:34] it's pemtium III 192 of RAM [17:35] it's a toshiba satellite 2800 400 [17:35] anyone can help with kernel compilation? [17:35] account list [17:35] dury: thy lubuntu, xubuntu or bodhilinux [17:35] th0r: I have noauto option in fstab. It's just that I can use the desktop icon to mount manually. The real problem is that the mount point get's deleted somehow.

[17:49] blackcat73: Ask in #radeon and/or upgrade your radeon driver by installing xorg-edgers since there is new support for your card.

I'd prefer if the backlighting is blue, to match my computer with blue led fans and the razor deathadder mouse i'm planning on getting. [17:51] prohaxxor1337: fglrx is *supposed* to support xrandr1.2 but obviously it's failing for whatever reason [17:52] prohaxxor1337: So your other option is to remove fglrx and use the open radeon driver [17:52] NixGeek: What "features" did you have in mind? [17:52] anyone has an idea what hardware will be most suitable for lots of C compilation? [17:52] NixGeek: How is that a #ubuntu question?

[17:53] juk: Did you look at the shell script on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Thunderbird? It is pretty simple. It just sets environment variables related to TBird and runs TBird. [17:53] undecim: I'm soon on a i7 980X [17:53] soreau, can seen to find the drivers you've told me [17:53] prohaxxor1337: Then you could try adding a mode line to xorg.conf. What do you want to do? [17:53] blackcat73: From where? [17:53] lastm: set? so batch right? [17:53] undecim: It's RAM I'm cursious about. Will 12GB @ 2000MHz be a better choice than 24GB @ 1600 (or even 1333) MHz? [17:53] undecim: counting in the page caching too [17:53] soreau: erm,having a bigger resolution....could you suggest one? [17:54] speakman: It depends more on your latency than your clock speed... [17:54] Hi! How can I associate bat files that I made with a specific type of files. When I run the file it only runs the bat file and the program starts, but doesn't open the file I need [17:54] soreau, do you mean from what repo? [17:54] undecim: 2000MHz CL9 and 1600 CL8 [17:54] prohaxxor1337: Well there's 1280x1024 and 1400x1600.. [17:54] blackcat73: Yes [17:54] undecim: the 2000MHz CL9 is way fast though [17:54] default one [17:54] soreau: I have looked on google, etc. I want to know a keyboard that extra features like backlighting and G and M keys can be set in ubuntu! undecim: Extra keys and backlighting especially. [17:54] soreau: i can try 1400x1600,can you tell me how? [17:54] speakman: the 2000MHz CL9 will be faster [17:54] soreau, the fixed channel -1 did not work by the way... [17:55] speakman: And I think 12GB is enough [17:55] undecim: definitely, but it will only be half as much [17:55] prohaxxor1337: We already tried that and the command failed because fglrx sucks. So we can either try adding some mode lines to xorg.conf or you can just get rid of fglrx and use the open radeon driver stack [17:55] prohaxxor1337: What do you want to do? [17:55] undecim: even though there's *lots* of small C files being compiled? [17:55] speakman: Is it more than 10GB of files? [17:56] Williams: It worked for me but you'll have to ask in #aircrack-ng [17:56] undecim: the result is about 2GB [17:56] soreau:i dont know just what would do less damage [17:56] hi , i have registered a channel about website developing , #webbuilder , everybody is welcomed to join #webbuilder [17:56] prohaxxor1337: Less damage to what? [17:56] speakman: because I doubt that you need more than 1GB of cache for the binaries required to compile [17:56] soreau: less damage if i fail [17:56] speakman: I would definitely recommend getting faster ram [17:56] guys is there any way to get all information abaout sound card in terminal [17:56] ? [17:56] prohaxxor1337: There's not going to be any damage, X is pretty much fool proof nowadays [17:56] juk: It is a shell script as in #!/bin/sh which identifies the log file and runs and runs thunderbird with a NSPR_LOG_MODULES variable set to "ALL", not "IMAP" as in the script on the web page. [17:57] lastm: you don't need that script you can start it with --debug (from --help) [17:57] speakman: even if it's less of it [17:57] soreau: then what would be easier [17:57] undecim: you're sure? [17:57] speakman: Unless you really think you are going to use more than 12GB [17:57] undecim: it will only be used by page cache [17:57] speakman: exactly [17:57] juk: Okay. Good to know. Where does the output go from a --debug start? [17:57] undecim: there's nothing memory consuming per se running compilations [17:58] soreau, How can I associate bat files that I made with a specific type of files (*.asta in my case). When I run the *.asta file it only runs the bat file and the program starts, but doesn't load the *.asta file in the ASTAH itself [17:58] prohaxxor1337: Probably would be easier to first try the open driver stack. Assuming you've only used ubuntu driver installer to install fglrx, you can use the same method to remove it and reboot to get back to the open radeon driver then we can go from there [17:58] undecim: but my current 4GB does fill up very quickly [17:58] lastm: stdout [17:58] speakman: Do you have 12GB of files to cache? [17:58] lastm: unless you stream it to logfile [17:58] soreau: ok how to remove that fglrx [17:58] Williams: I have no idea. [17:58] juk: Do you want me to run it with --debug and see what happens? [17:59] prohaxxor1337: How did you install it? With sys>admin>additional drivers? [17:59] undecim: there will be lots of post-procesed files and such for each C file, so maybe it's beyond 12GB in total [17:59] lastm: yes [17:59] gedO, sudo aplay -l [17:59] soreau: yep,should i unninstall it from there? [17:59] prohaxxor1337: Then use the same method to remove it. [17:59] Another dump question, how can I install *.bin files ? :) [17:59] lastm: it's same as `gdb thunderbird` [17:59] undecim: but unless gcc removes any files, the total outcome is about 2GB [18:00] undecim: but it does exceed my current 4GB :) [18:00] Williams: sh /path/to/file.bin [18:00] Thanks, will try [18:00] Williams, probably need root privileges for that [18:00] whats the fastest way to tarball a directory that contains about 50,000 directories.. with a few files in each directory..

[18:02] thanx undecim [18:02] lastm: recompile what you mean? [18:02] Williams: I think there is a repo you can setup for Adobe reader, which will be much better that installing a .bin [18:02] Would anyone know of an Indian owned email server in India that I may setup an email account on? [18:02] undecim, where can I find it / [18:03] Okee, ask in #ubuntu-in and ubuntu india mailist list [18:03] Williams, in the partner repo [18:03] juk: Here is what the debug load has reported thus far: Reading symbols from /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.1.7/thunderbird-bin...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

Meaning they don't pay me enough to recompile from source code. [18:07] hi! [18:07] undecim: May I ask why you consider fast ram a priority? I've got no idea how ram speed affect a compilation? [18:08] lastm: you might also try strace if that wont help finding bug [18:08] speakman: Everything is stored in the ram [18:08] er correction, my sshd service on my ubuntu VM keeps timing out and vanishing when accessed externally (in host OS) -- how do I find out what's going on or fix it? [18:08] cümleten hello beyler! [18:08] lastm: ah [18:08] undecim: yes but is it really a big bottle neck? [18:08] speakman: I would say so [18:08] undecim: ok [18:09] speakman: CL9 @ 2000MHz means the CPU has you wait 4.5 ms to get data from the ram [18:09] undecim: ms??! [18:09] speakman: milliseconds [18:09] speakman: i.e. 0.0045 seconds [18:09] undecim: really? that's a looooong wait [18:09] ns [18:09] undecim: yes nanosecs sounds more reasonable [18:10] speakman: wait, maybe I'm thinking ns, lol [18:10] lastm: ah, i'll go take leak then, since it's not in my pay-grade to sit and wait you [18:10] as snowrichard said [18:10] undecim: :D === ramzi_ is now known as rby [18:10] juk: I'm here, but do what you've got to do. [18:11] anyways, 2000MHz is about 2GHz, right? a 2GHz CPU would lose 9 clock cycles waiting on the RAM if it couldn't do anything untill it got the data. [18:11] @soreau i think my screen is german so it gave something like "Videofrequenz tos hoch" which i think means video frequency too high after that command [18:11] wat? [18:11] prohaxxor1337_: That means it's working but your monitor didn't like that mode (which is why I asked you for the native modes) [18:12] soreau: so that means no fix for this? [18:13] prohaxxor1337_: So let's try another: mode_name="1280x1024_60.00"; output="VGA-0"; xrandr --newmode $mode_name 109.00 1280 1368 1496 1712 1024 1027 1034 1063 -hsync +vsync && xrandr --addmode $output $mode_name && xrandr --output $output --mode $mode_name [18:13] soreau, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Maverick_Installation_Guide [18:13] I was following that guide [18:14] but I don't have aticonfig [18:14] speakman: Although, with hyperthreading, you won't always be losing those cycles, because one thread can use the core while the other is waiting on RAM. [18:14] blackcat73, did you install the ATI Proprietary Drivers ? [18:14] blackcat73: What was your problem again? [18:14] undecim: 2000MHz CL9 waits for 4,5ns and 1600MHz CL8 waits for 5,0ns. 1333MHz CL8 waits for about 6,0ns [18:14] Thanks to juk for his patience. Anyone else that can help with "Thunderbird v.3.1.7 running on Ubunut 10.04 completely stops when checking for new messages."? [18:15] you will get ATI Config then [18:15] soreau: still "Videofrequenz zu hoch" [18:16] where are the gtk stock images located? === burhan is now known as McQueen [18:17] prohaxxor1337: Well then what it seems is that 1024x768 is the highest your monitor can go [18:17] prohaxxor1337: If you can figure out what native resolution it is (locate the model number and google it or post it here) then we can try another mode [18:18] is there a way of getting apt-gotten packages to satisfy yum dependencies? [18:18] soreau:i appreciate the help,though i can\t do this now,maybe tomorrow cause i have to do something,so goodbye :) [18:19] prohaxxor1337: see ya [18:19] My laptop has a signal quality of 49/70 yet it wont connect to my AP unless I move it 3 more feet closer...

Its just weird because my PS3 which is farther away has a 95% signal and my ipod has 2/3 bars.. [18:22] gedO: Or try restarting the panel: killall gnome-panel [18:22] crucialhoax: Your adapter in the laptop may not be broadcasting with as much power as it could. If the adapter supports the txpower directive in iwconfig, you can try to make it use more [18:22] Okay anodesni, thanks you ^-^ [18:22] crucialhoax: Don't know what to tell you then [18:22] crucialhoax: perhaps moving the router closer is an option [18:23] soreau: I wish it was lol [18:23] sureau: Whene I type "start gnome-volume-control-applet" I get "Unknown job: gnome-volume-control-applet" [18:23] jpiccolo: no works means you getting rejected right?

[18:24] juk, corret [18:24] juk, and non local only works for root login [18:25] jpiccolo: another machine is were? outside the local network? [18:25] juk, yes [18:25] okay i just installed hauppauge dvb card to this ubuntu box. it works fine but now ubuntu starts without x server! i can launch x manually and it runs just fine but i want my login manager back! [18:25] sureau: Okey. I get volume controls, but it came with two icons/controls. For microphone and for volume. Whene I installed Ubuntu there was just one nice icon [18:25] juk, probably other side of the USA [18:25] sureau: Please help :) [18:25] gedO: Yea, g-v-c-a isn't the default [18:26] sureau: how to get default?? [18:26] ! resetpanel | gedO [18:26] my ubuntu's networking keeps dropping; but its in a virtual environment, so is there something else that could be set up wrong?

[18:27] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:27] i couldn't find the package and compiling from sources it's not possible due to unsatisfable dependencies [18:27] Williams, do you really need it or do you simply need to read the contents of a iso file? [18:28] soreau: Do I realy need to restart whole panel?? [18:28] I want Ubuntu to use BSD kernel and get rid of Linux [18:28] I really need it, for a few games, they do not have no cd/dvd fixed exe's [18:28] okay i just installed hauppauge dvb card to this ubuntu box. it works fine but now ubuntu starts without x server! i can launch x manually and it runs just fine but i want my login manager back!

[18:28] asif: ubuntu only uses linux, try debian instead¿¿ /join #debian [18:28] in the package manager i can only see audacity 1.3 not 1.2 [18:28] undecim: will the ram speed have any impact on stability? [18:29] Williams, when using wine you can simply add a path (also an iso) as a cd-rom drive [18:29] anodesni, how ? [18:29] I like Ubuntu . but it less or more as buggy as windows . BSD is the most stable OS in thw world [18:30] jpiccolo: if so you have to have public shared rsa key in your home folder from where you logging [18:30] soreau, ok, I managed to install the .deb I've created, reboot the machine [18:30] asif: PC/M is even more stable. You should really stick to that. [18:30] asif: then use bsd if you like that most [18:30] and now I have very strange colors [18:30] Williams, mount the iso as: "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso/thefile.iso /mnt/iso" (if the directory /mnt/iso exists) [18:30] but rigth resolution [18:30] asif: but we dont need that kind of useless offtopic here [18:31] Williams, then launch "winecfg" from terminal [18:31] juk, ok i accept the rsa key [18:31] soreau: strange. I just killer and panel restarted and no volume icon [18:31] juk, then it asks for password [18:31] will tyr [18:31] will try [18:31] juk, and i get permission denied [18:31] Williams, go to the tab "drives" [18:31] crucialhoax: The value is dependant on your hardware. The best thing is to look up the spec sheet of your internal wifi adapter and see what it's max transmit power is in decibels, which is the number then to use [18:31] anodesni, yeah i'm there [18:31] I like Ubuntu userland . but it has crashed and freezed every 15 minutes after i upgraded to 10.10 [18:32] juk, but i am local it works fine, i have the password as one letter for this testing [18:32] juk, so the password is not wrong [18:32] ssoreau, I just killed gnome panel, but volume icon don't kome back [18:32] Williams, press add, browse to /mnt/iso, click show advanced, set type to cd-rom [18:32] jpiccolo: local you mean from the same account or local machine? [18:33] anodesni, thanks trying it out right now [18:33] juk, local as i am logged in as root and i type 'ssh @localhost' [18:33] anodesni, how the hell do you remember all the commands ? :) [18:33] juk, and that works [18:33] Williams, some years of experience [18:33] Installing DarwinSS, works fine in desktop machine. try to install with arm7 cpu (chroot enviorment) I get".......

[18:36] if i combine tomcat6, apache2[with ruby_passenger and php5], mysql, mongodb and jabber? it will affect my performance or do i need multi machines? [18:36] any advice on a linux/ubuntu friendly generic bluetooth receivers? [18:37] zamba: netstat -uanp [18:37] juk, ssh seems completely broken on this box [18:37] juk, only allows root to login from a remote connect [18:37] juk, which is like backwards of how it should be [18:37] Pici: that's the listening udp ports? [18:37] jpiccolo: so you didn't answer my question i asked are you using rsa key authentication? [18:38] zamba: Thats what it says in the 'proto' column. [18:38] Anyone know of any utilities to bind an open window to a hotkey (F#, Alt+Key, etc)? that key combo with focus/blur the window to the previous window [18:38] juk, how do i see that to be sure [18:38] okay i just installed hauppauge dvb card to this ubuntu box. it works fine but now ubuntu starts without x server! i can launch x manually and it runs just fine but i want my login manager back!

I'm getting a "short read on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb" when unpacking a self-made package [18:41] juk, my root account has a .ssh folder but no authorized_keys folder [18:41] juk, my other account has neither [18:41] jpds: authorized_keys isn't a folder [18:41] it's a file [18:41] v0lksman, Thanks, but I think that's not quite what I want. If I'm reading correctly, it uses a config file [18:41] i have a problem with a kernel in fedora and i know you guys do not care but the thing is the same thing works in ubuntu so my wonder is WHY. It is a PCIe RME RayDat card and it gets recognized in ubuntu but in fedora 14 lspci gives me "Unkown header type 7f" [18:42] what is that [18:42] ckwalsh, ? [18:42] Roasted, did you fix your dhcp/staic settings / [18:42] jpiccolo: it's probably firewall blocking incoming, check in iptable -L [18:42] ?

How did you install this system? [18:42] i have a problem with a kernel in fedora and i know you guys do not care but the thing is the same thing works in ubuntu so my wonder is WHY. It is a PCIe RME RayDat card and it gets recognized in ubuntu but in fedora 14 lspci gives me "Unkown header type 7f". What is that?

If you have a chance, try out guake [18:44] anyone here familiar with disper and auto adjusting of displays?

[18:48] jpiccolo: yes the one from which you fail [18:49] jrib, thats about it [18:49] jpiccolo: and presumably you unlocked the root account? since it's locked by default? [18:49] SERIOUSLY!

[18:49] jrib, no i didn't it was the only login provide to me [18:49] jpiccolo: it often gives information about permission problems that will stop ssh login (such as homedir not owned by user) [18:50] I've been trying to establish the cause of the problem for days without success. [18:50] I can't find anything in my logs regarding the reboots and no panic or oops-info shows up on the screen (console).

If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [18:57] edwardteach: I kinda figured that out, i've asked every hour or two, not every 5 minutes!

[18:59] maco: sweet. Thankee! [18:59] netzapper: ideal would be grabbing the *source* packages from debian and building them locally for your ubuntu [18:59] how can I use Docky in Xubuntu without being prompted with compositing? [18:59] hi there channel :) [18:59] jpiccolo: is this on a VPS, did you say? [18:59] netzapper: since thats exactly how ubuntu packages come about :) [18:59] NixGeek: Really, your question has absolutely nothing to do, at all whatsoever, with Ubuntu. Seriously, suck it up and ask it in a proper forum, like #hardware [18:59] maco: hmm... the issue is that it's got about 35 dependencies, and I don't want to manually track them all down. I have no problem building from source, I just want the deps resolved automatically. [19:00] lubuntu channel? [19:00] jrib, i have another x running on tty8... [19:00] NixGeek: This is the last time I'll say it. [19:00] netzapper: if you build a source package into a binary package, the dependency tracking stuff stays since its still a package [19:00] jpiccolo: « sudo service ssh stop » and then start the daemon in debug mode: sshd -ddd. Afterwards, attempt to connect with « ssh -vvv rtor@hostname ». Pastebin everything (including your commands and output) client-side and server-side [19:00] m4rtin, yes, hypervm - i have a couple options for os install, I have tried all 4 of the ubuntu ones and i continue to have the same problems [19:00] th_: you found gdm? [19:00] netzapper: it just means grabbing the source package (apt-get source foo) and then "debuild -uc-us" to make it spit out a deb [19:00] jpiccolo: do the debug procedure jrib just suggested, which will certainly help [19:00] jrib, no. another desktop [19:01] i was wondering how you change the default path where ubuntu software downloads to [19:01] where is it located? [19:01] maco: right, except I want it to track down all the source packages of the dependencies too. Basically, I'm trying to get a whole software stack for which the Ubuntu distro is nearly a year out of date... it's, like, 35 packages, all of which I need... plus stuff like libxml2 and libc, which, obviously, I don't want pulled in. [19:01] th_: how did that start? [19:01] netzapper: but eh yeah this is probably getting more complicated than pinning... [19:01] jrib, i dont konw :S [19:02] th_: heh, did you have auto-login enabled? [19:02] jrib, yes [19:02] th_: so that's probably what it is. For whatever reason, gdm is just popping up in a different place now. Can you verify? [19:02] netzapper: i guess what id do is add the repo, apt-get update && apt-get install the package, then remove the repo again [19:03] maco: yeah, that was my first instinct. Thought maybe there'd be a better way. [19:03] netzapper: since apt-get install will act as a this-package-only upgrade if its already installed, and then by removing it you avoid other things getting wrongly updated [19:03] jrib, i should boot this. but cant do it now :( [19:03] maco: oh, I see. So, install the ubuntu version, add repo, apt-get install the particular packages I want, remove the repo. [19:04] netzapper: eh i guess it doesnt really matter whether you have the ubuntu one already installed actually [19:04] netzapper: but just *cross fingers* that the debian version isnt gonna want a new version of some critical lib [19:05] hi [19:05] maco: yeah... about that.

[19:59] i think it has something to do with ".share/etter.ssl.crt" [19:59] i think it has something to do with "./share/etter.ssl.crt" [20:00] the dot in front of "/share" indicates that it is looking for it in /usr/local/share/etter.ssl.crt ????

No, you should not need to edit your grub line, recovery mode should just be single user mode anyway [21:42] speakman: sounds like they dont wanna share, im not to up with alsa or pluse .. someone else might know why 2 analog devices dont wanna share [21:43] twitch: is there a way to make it the other way around - when headphones are plugged in, use it.

(Will you finally stop using Enter as punctuation? :) ) [22:35] crossover [22:35] well what in the world [22:35] joshuacarmack, JUST RUN it [22:35] it just now pooped up [22:35] i tried [22:35] ok, hi there. [22:35] it just wouldnt come up before [22:35] * jrib makes no comment [22:36] i still cant move the Up and down arrow which is the network icon [22:36] man; i am tempted to install gentoo; since ubuntu won't fucking boot [22:37] i have problem with 10.04. maybe someone can help somehow. I don't know what i did, but: 1) locally port is opened -> ping localhost is answring, from lan computers - not; but all other ports like 22 are working. were could be problem in configuration? [22:37] Vustom: The "hotspot" on that one is about 5 pixels to the left (like half of your mouse to the left) if that. Just not on the icon itself [22:37] accel: please keep it family friendly here. What was the result of the cd check? [22:37] jrib: couldn't cd check [22:37] jrib: screen goes blank too [22:37] accel: why? [22:37] accel: how did you install? [22:38] thanks, now to get the mail icon back.. [22:38] jrib: tried -desktop -alternatte, now going to try -server [22:38] accel: use the disk you installed from [22:38] jrib: what's truly frustrating [22:38] jrib: is that until today; ubuntu always worked out of the box for me [22:39] Vustom: You ran this, right? sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages Well I don't think Idid. So you could try sudo apt-get install indicator-messages (install them again) [22:40] k its back.. [22:41] thanks, although the space between the sound icon and mail seems bigger before.. cant remember, can i have a screenshot of someone elses to check? [22:41] ok thanks. upgrade did all i needed. byr [22:41] bigger then before* [22:44] its fine nvm, now that leaves 1 more thing to do, im using the Pidgin IM and it adds a Status update box on the Me Menu thing, so theres a box that says "Post message.." is there anyway to remove this? i hate it D: [22:44] Vustom, http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=3356 [22:45] how to solve "JACK is running in realtime mode, but you are not allowed to use realtime scheduling."? [22:45] Vustom: Hmm? You mean "Offiline/Available" and such? [22:45] brontoeee thanks, mines the same space inbetween [22:45] Starminn nono, ill grab u a screenie [22:46] Vustom: Mine's the same as his, so yeah ti's normal (but I agree it does seem a bit excessive regarding the amount of space. Maybe 2px less...? But I'm just being nitpicky now...) [22:47] while we are at the subject, how would i remove the mail icon? [22:47] is there a way with apt to just download the package files but not install them? [22:47] *the male icon [22:47] brontoeee: (Apparently) what you do is sudo apt-get remove indicator-messages [22:48] brontoeee: that's what he did to accidetnally remove his. He fixed it by just sudo apt-get install indicator-messages so if it removes more than you want, try that. [22:48] Starminn, see this white box? http://www.trainsignaltraining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/me.jpg [22:48] rlankfo: sudo aptitude download foo.deb [22:48] i believe [22:48] I want to know how to remove that, its darker on my me menu though but its still annoying, its used to post status updates [22:48] hey, how can you find out if your external hd supports spindown? [22:49] Vustom: Oh, seeing as you have Broadcast chillin' in the background I'd dare say that's for quick status updates. It's not Pidgin, my friend, as I don't have it. :) [22:50] Starminn, thats a random screenshots of google images -_-, i was just showing you what box i was talking about [22:50] jo_, i would google your make and model [22:50] it might actually be that [22:51] Gwibber app? [22:51] Starminn, ok [22:51] edwardteach: ok, but I'm not shure what model it is :) [22:51] Vustom: Gwibber by default, yeah. [22:51] ubuntu [22:51] you have a router or firewall between that would check per ssdp request /upnp for status info from network? [22:51] How would i go about getting rid of the box? preferably without removing Gwibber [22:52] although i dont mind removing it, i'll never use it.. [22:53] jo_: sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdX [22:54] Starminn i just use sudo apt-get autoremove gwibber ? [22:54] Vustom: Gimme a sec. :) (Google time) [22:54] k :D === species is now known as species|work [22:54] how to start gtk programm on another PC and to get its window appear on local PC ? [22:54] hmm, now what we need for ubuntu is a GC stack and all the important high-level applications written in it! [22:54] Jordan_U: tx! [22:54] jo_: You're welcome. [22:55] Vustom: If you want to keep ti I guarantee there's a way somewhere, somehow. I'll try to see if you can keep it. If not we'll remove it. (Just go to Software Center->Installed Software->Gwibber->Remove to remove it (the GUI way)) [22:55] sudo [22:55] Let's see if we can keep it first though [22:55] I think it's sudo apt-get remove gwibber [22:55] Starminn i will never use it so ill just remove it [22:56] Jordan_U: well now I get to my main problem: everything I try to modify with hdparm or sdparm ends in a: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Invalid exchange [22:57] hey guys does anyone know how can I show the battery level in the panel? [22:57] hey guys does anyone know how can I show the battery level of my laptop in the panel? [22:57] Vustom: Alright. So just follow the steps I gave. (To give you a comparison from your Windoze experience up to last week -- Ubuntu Software Center = Add/Remove Programs (but with the ability to Install as well, so twice the functionality (or arguably more))). So if you ever need to Add/Remove anything easily, that's where to go. Terminal apt-get is just the, "Quick and dirty" that always works pretty much no matter what [22:57] rightclick -> customize panel (or add item or whatever) [22:57] Chilaquiles: netbook remix does that automatically [22:57] ohok :D [22:57] Chilaquiles: have you looked inside Power Management? It should be in there on the 3rd tab.. [22:57] Gnea: I don't know what's that [22:58] Chilaquiles: but you should be able to right-click and "add to panel" [22:58] Gnea: Isn't that part of the Indicator Applet? [22:58] Chilaquiles: it's a special release of ubuntu for netbooks and other notebooks [22:58] Diamondcite: could be [22:58] Gnea: is there any way that I can make it to show in normal ubuntu? [22:58] Diamondcite: yes, yes it is [22:58] I only have one more problem to jump over with Ubuntu now, in Firefox, in the address bar, if i type say ubuntu, it will go to http://ubuntu.com/ i dont want it to do that, if i type ubuntu i want it to google "ubuntu" [22:58] Diamondcite: I ust have 2 tabs [22:58] Chilaquiles: see if you can locate the indicator applet [22:59] Chilaquiles: Err try System -> Preferences -> Power Management -> General () Always Display Battery [22:59] Chilaquiles: but try Diamondcite's suggestion first [22:59] Gnea: Indicator applet session_ [22:59] Gnea: Indicator applet session? [22:59] Netbook version is here> http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook [22:59] I think i accidentally some how disabled my usb ports because my mouse is not working anymore. Is there a way to make it work again? [22:59] the address bar farthest to the right is the search bar on Firefox, that should get you going [23:00] Chilaquiles: I don't know about session.... it would be in the 'add to panel' list somewhere [23:00] is there a specific channel for natty alpha testers? [23:00] !natty | tzanger [23:00] tzanger: Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [23:00] Chilaquiles: Question, do you see a volume icon on your panel? [23:00] tzanger: Yes, oh ok [23:00] Gnea: thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for [23:00] Gnea: Thank you. [23:00] tzanger: cheers [23:00] Diamondcite: I do [23:01] Chilaquiles: Then please looks at System -> Preferences -> Power Management -> [General] -> ()Always display icon [23:01] Vustom: That's not Ubuntu I don't think. Pretty sure that's just Firefox (maybe the ubuntu add-ons do it?) Regardless, it doesn't happen for me. That's always...erm....'upset' me... Anyway, Yeah I want to Google things when I do that. Download th latest Firefox 4 Beta. That problem is non-existent [23:01] Chilaquiles: That should make the battery indicator always show. [23:01] Diamondcite: I did but now I see a ray [23:02] a ray? [23:02] Diamondcite: But I dont see a battery level [23:02] o [23:02] Diamondcite: like a lighting [23:02] i will ask the on the firefox forums [23:02] Chilaquiles: hover the mouse over it [23:02] Chilaquiles: Click once on the icon which looks like the battery? [23:02] after installing sendmail, php page that is sending page doesnt load [23:02] Chilaquiles: and then left-click once [23:02] Gnea: it doesn't say anything [23:02] Gnea: As for 10.10 atleast.. hover does nothing, just left click once. [23:03] Diamondcite: yeah, same with 10.04 [23:03] Gnea: it says preferences [23:03] Chilaquiles: look above 'preferences' [23:03] Gnea: I clicked preferences and I see power magnament settings [23:03] ManecA, if you have not sudo rm or sudo uninstalls [23:03] How to fix ntfs partitions? No success using ntfsfix. Incomplete multi-sector transfer error message [23:03] Chilaquiles: It should be saying ("Laptop battery ()") [23:04] Gnea: above preferences?, that's the only menu I see [23:04] Chilaquiles: it's possible that it's not talking to your battery [23:04] Chilaquiles: no, there should be no menu, it should tell you how much longer you have until the battery dies [23:04] ManecA, if you have not sudo rm or sudo uninstalled anything i would do a restart ! [23:04] ok [23:04] Chilaquiles: or how much longer until it's 100% charged, if it's charging [23:04] Chilaquiles: To see if you battery can be detected... ls /proc/acpi/battery/ [23:04] Gnea: thats the problem, that my battery can die and I don't know it [23:04] edwardteach: ok, thank you [23:05] anyone here? [23:05] !anyone | ruth [23:05] ruth: 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? [23:05] Can anyone please tell me the difference between gtk and compiz and emerald? Sorry, new to ubuntu. [23:05] Diamondcite: it says Bat0 [23:05] Diamondcite: it says BAT0 [23:06] <_SPT_> Hello everyone, Is there an IRC channel for Ubuntu server software only? [23:06] Chilaquiles: well atleast it sees a battery... Now sure why gnome doesn't... [23:06] ubuntu-br [23:06] any ideas on why etc/fstab won't load [23:06] ubuntu-br [23:06] Does anyone know the difference between gtk compiz and emerald? [23:06] as well as a filesystem failure. I can't get into gnome [23:06] !compiz | ruth [23:06] ruth, compiz is prettifull [23:06] ruth: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [23:06] SPT: Yes, #ubuntu-server [23:06] Diamondcite: is there something I can do to make it show [23:07] ruth: GTK = Gimp ToolKit, it's what defines the layout of the GUI for GTK-based applications, compiz is a graphics engine designed to take advantage of 3D capabilities in your graphics card, and emerald is a method to decorate compiz. Please don't repeat questions really fast, thanks. [23:07] <_SPT_> gneb >thanks. [23:07] if dev/sda7 has errors, is my hard drive cooked? is the whole system fried? [23:07] SPT_: You are very welcome. [23:07] anybody have an issue with Flash that has shown up in the past week? [23:07] is is karma from karmic koala? [23:08] foreal: depends on the errors [23:08] Hey all. Trying to compile a module for my Clear 4G USB device, and I'm getting this error: /usr/bin/ld: config.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC [23:08] no issues with flash for me, and I'm usually the first to get them ('cause I have a little brother :P) [23:08] the installer is a shell script. [23:08] sha1sum: you'll need to edit your Makefile to use the -fPIC option [23:08] What is GTK? [23:08] ah okay. [23:08] Gnea: etc/fstab error [23:09] ruth: I've explained it. [23:09] Gnea: compiz is more of a compositing window manager than a graphics engine ;) [23:09] !gtk | ruth [23:09] ruth: GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [23:09] foreal: Is it a Hardware issue , like bad blocks or have you tried the Recovery console? [23:09] soreau: window managers are, in essence, graphics engines ;) [23:09] hello all. I cannot get plymouth graphical bootsplash to run on ubuntu 10.10 desktop under virtualbox. Added FRAMEBUFFER=y to /etc/initramfs-tools initramfs.conf (in the VM)and updated initramfs, but no dice. Any suggestions? [23:09] Gnea: I reckon :p [23:09] gnewb: tried recovery console, to no avail === makulkar_laptop is now known as mkk [23:10] foreal: Do you do regular backups? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [23:10] madsailor: yeah, turn plymouth off [23:10] gnewb: I just bought a backup drive today to backup, and this happened [23:10] Gnea_: Ok what do you mean when you wrote "!gtk | ruth"? Is it some sort of code? [23:10] gnewb: no joke [23:10] ruth: it triggered ubottu to say something to you, look for it. === mkk is now known as mahesh [23:11] Chilaquiles: Try to run gnome-power-statistics === mahesh is now known as maheshk [23:11] gnewb: "I/O error on device sda7 [23:11] ruth: everytime someone says something to you like this, it should highlight to make it easier to see. [23:11] Diamondcite: how do I do that? [23:11] Chilaquiles: Run it from the terminal [23:11] foreal: Ouch, sorry, the system can be recovered, yes, there are many Forensic Utilities , too many to name here. [23:11] ruth: but perhaps your irc client doesn't support that. [23:11] Diamondcite: sudo apt-get gnome-power-statistics? [23:12] gnea, thanks, but plymouth is the whole point...I made some new themes and am trying to make some screenvids of them. [23:12] Gnea: I can see your messages in different colour. Can you see mine the same way? [23:12] Chilaquiles: No, it should be already installed, just type gnome-power-statistics [23:12] Lol, ok I get the idea now. [23:12] foreal: saying "I/O error" is fake, not real. can you provide some sort of log to a pastebin site? [23:12] ruth: indeed [23:12] Gnea: CFLAGS ? [23:12] Diamondcite: I did and a window that says Power statistics showed up [23:12] sha1sum: sounds right [23:12] k [23:13] Chilaquiles: Does that window list a battery as the 2nd item on the left? [23:13] foreal: Here. maybe> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [23:13] madsailor: oh, okay... perhaps I shouldn't try to help then, as I have a serious disdain for plymouth in general :) [23:13] Diamondcite: it says AC Adapter and Processor on the left side [23:13] !gtk,emerald,compiz-difference |ruth [23:13] Chilaquiles: I.... just speechless that gnome can't see your battery x.x [23:13] ruth: heh, it doesn't work that way [23:13] boa noite, alguem ai sabe me informar como faço pra fazer a merda de um leitor de cartao funcionar? [23:14] foreal: That is about the best link that I know of and it is an official Ubuntu doc. [23:14] gnewb: thanks [23:14] Gnea, I am quickly developing one as well the longer I try to get plymouth working in a VM ;) [23:14] Diamondcite: mhhhh I've tried different ways but nothing have worked so far [23:14] oh ok. [23:14] ruth: basically, GTK defines all of the various pieces of the GUI portion of a program when it's displayed on the screen. [23:14] does any awyone here could help me? i need to make my card reader work. [23:14] Chilaquiles: Err try this.. gnome-power-statistics --device /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0 [23:15] ruth: if you click on 'File', for instance, it shows a menu - that's all defined with GTK [23:15] gnewb: from the console as root when I go to the home directory, my username directory is not there. Am I up the creek ? [23:15] And compiz is just an advanced way of configuring those settings? [23:15] Chilaquiles: Least in a terminal... cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info will tell you about your battery... [23:16] hello can you tell me how to fix that pb :( minicom: cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory) [23:16] gnewb: if I take out the hard drive and make it an external hard drive to transfer the files, would that work? if there is hardware damage, would it still work? [23:16] ruth: compiz does more than define those, it manipulates them [23:16] Diamondcite: it says present no [23:16] !details | doncabron, [23:16] doncabron,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:16] ruth: compiz takes whatever's on the screen and can change it [23:17] Chilaquiles: In that case.. it doesn't see your battery.. Are you SURE it's working? [23:17] Chilaquiles: System > Preferences > Power Management > General > Always Display an Icon .. this will make the icon appear [23:17] Diamondcite: well I can work without DC Adapter [23:17] And emerald? What does that do? [23:17] ruth: it makes compiz look pretty [23:17] lol. Ok, I got the idea. Thanks a ton! [23:17] Diamondcite: although this computer is kinda old I needed to see that because the battery drains off in like 15 mins [23:17] ruth: Just as an FYI, if you want to see what ubottu has to say in private just "/msg ubottu !" If you wish to search its knowledge, run "!search " and it'll return values to you. Run whatever interests you as "!" [23:18] bastidrazor: We have tried this already [23:18] Starminn: Gottcha! [23:18] can u tell me plz where can i find my bluetooth device in /dev/ derectory (ttyS0 or tthS1 or what) [23:19] its a card reader that we put on the usb io on the motherboard, it should be reading cards but is not... it does work perfectly in billgateso$ [23:19] ruth: gtk is a toolkit used to create gui applications. Compiz is a compositing window manager that takes advantage of the graphics drivers to draw or 'paint' all of the windows on each output. Emerald is a decorator for compiz. It draws the title bar and window borders. A decorator is a unique concept to compiz [23:19] ruth: :) Not a problem. You can also check out http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [23:19] bastidrazor: It displays the icon, but it's the AC only icon, for some reason the kernel doesn't see it. [23:19] namto, you on about bluetooth adapters, or headsets/phones etc? [23:19] ruth: ie. other wm's have their decorations as part of the same process whereas with compiz, the decorator is drawn by a separate process [23:20] bluetooth [23:20] ruth: ccsm is a way to configure all of the specific functionality that compiz provides through it's plugins [23:20] namto, you mean the adapter? [23:20] yes [23:20] ahem ahem, What is ccsm?? [23:20] Do i need to isntall it? [23:20] in my mini laptop [23:20] !ccsm | ruth [23:20] ruth: 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 [23:20] Hmm, what make is it namto [23:21] ccsm = compiz control centre [23:21] ruth: You don't have to but you can to gain access advanced window manager behavior controls [23:21] ruth: You have to isntall it in order to take advantage of all that Compiz has to offer. So run sudo apt-get isntall ccsm and have fun plus there are other plugins available for more features) [23:21] All I want is to install some good themes from gnome-look.org :) [23:21] hi i need major help i installed runit and replaced my init schematic and i cant boot [23:21] Starminn: The package is not called 'ccsm' ;) [23:22] !info compizconfig-settings-manager [23:22] compizconfig-settings-manager (source: compizconfig-settings-manager): Compiz configuration settings manager.

[23:29] btw, anyone know why ubuntu would (seemingly randomly) set the monitor into random ly turning on and off, with a black screen with (some) white lines on it half way up [23:29] how do i chroot and how do i fix the problem [23:29] or is it hardware ('cause it seems to work ok on another grafix card [23:29] gnewb: Ok, thanks [23:29] ! chroot | Myles [23:29] Myles: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [23:30] i had a boot problem yesterday ended up using the cd reinstalling grub onto dev then changing the grub.cfg file to point to the drive [23:30] Varc: It is either lspci or lsusb, that will show what the version of it is as installed. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [23:30] then once restarted used update-grub [23:31] how do fix the prob tho [23:31] usb startup no cd [23:31] Varc: After you get an output from that command, you will know what drivers to install. [23:31] I see, so he will need check the version and check in the Synaptic the package for it? [23:31] depends on what you see when you try to boot [23:31] ok one sec [23:32] its on a diff machine [23:32] guessed that lol [23:32] i also found a way to install windows after linux [23:33] Varc: Yes, after getting the correct data from the ls output, then is pretty basic, search ralink in synaptic, but here is the warning, match the output of the lspci/lsusb with the proper available driver and is off to the races. [23:33] what about just removing runit [23:33] no [23:33] has to be un-installed not just ripped out [23:33] I downloaded a theme which has "tar.bz2" format. How to install this?? [23:33] gnewb: I see, thanks you very much for your help [23:34] ruth: extract it using package manager [23:34] Myles: You need to undo whatever you did. removing runit would probably be in order at least.. [23:34] extract it to tar.gz? [23:34] hi all [23:34] ruth: Just drag it into the appearance properties window [23:34] Varc: You are very welcome, I just had to do the same thing last week, works fine. [23:34] it replaced my init schema [23:34] ruth: Or select it from 'install theme' [23:35] ruth: I don't think you need to extract it [23:35] depends if s/he downloaded a theme or an engine [23:35] gnewb: Ok, cool my friend will be happy [23:35] hello everybody [23:35] Oh, ok. Iwill do that. I thought since it's not tar.gz format, it may not support [23:35] after i upgraded totem no longer puts playlists in numerical order, how do i change it back? [23:36] Varc: Also look at the Supported Hardware page, just a double check thing to see it that driver is ready or if you need to run the Binary driver. [23:36] i need to make postfix work on localhost [23:36] ok, it says, "not a valid theme".. what now? [23:36] gnewb: That can be a option, maeby he don't do it [23:36] whats the name of the file ruth [23:37] ruth: It probably isn't a valid theme. Though you could try extracting it if you want [23:37] 38485-DD2-MetalThemePack125.tar.bz2 [23:37] That's the file name "38485-DD2-MetalThemePack125.tar.bz2" [23:37] themepack has multiple themes [23:38] ruth: Themes aren't regular packages and some packagers package a gtk theme inside an archive along with wallpaper or what have you [23:38] Extract the .tar.bz2, then copy/move it into ~/.themes => should be able to use it then. [23:38] what i was about to say lol [23:38] Well you need to look at the contents [23:38] had the same issue [23:39] Varc: Here is that page:> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [23:39] let me get this right. ".themes" folder is inside my home folder? [23:40] ruth: yes [23:40] yes but its not where you extract your files [23:40] good evening from Spain to everybody [23:40] hi does anyone know if i can get this for ubuntu? like on android phone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF6DOtH3pqo [23:40] oh wow. debian 6 is out [23:40] they changed the web site too ^-^ [23:40] help with postfix in localhost [23:41] ruth: directory names that start with a . are hidden [23:41] ruth: when i did it i extracted the files to my home folder then dragged and drop into theme manager [23:42] does anybody know a way to automatically reduce the sound volume when I plug in my earphones? [23:42] where can i get help for a malaysian people like me in this irc server? [23:42] ciaran_: If you can detect when the headphones are plugged in, you can write a script [23:43] !my | yuskhanzab [23:43] yuskhanzab: bantuan bahasa melayu? sila join #ubuntu-my [23:43] I'd like something that would automagically switch to my usb headset when I plug it in. [23:43] Sounds not working in Minecraft, any ideas? [23:43] ciaran_: that's a pretty interesting question. Maybe with udev [23:44] soreau: would that work (i.e. writing a script) when the usb headset is present? [23:44] hi [23:44] Blue1: If you had a way to switch to the headphones from the cli [23:44] soreau: sadly no.... [23:44] !udev | ciaran_ [23:45] ubottu you are so dumb sometimes :( [23:45] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:45] !root | root_ [23:45] root_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:45] user82: This is possoble 'somehow' with the enlightenment e17 nwindowmanager. By switching desktop you could like move in a large image. [23:45] How to launch Minecraft using this code? "padsp java -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar Minecraft.jar" [23:45] Blue1: Might be possible with xdotool though it would be a bit hacky that way [23:45] ciaran_: http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html is basically an intro to writing udev rules. This isn't really trivial, but if you don't mind reading and working a bit, I think you can accomplish what you asked [23:45] Ok, I put the folder in ".themes" folder after extracting from tar.gz and then tried to drag it to the appearance manager under themes section. It gave this error. "Installation for theme "DigitalDark-2-Mercury-1.2" failed. Can't move directory over directory". [23:46] ruth: Is it already installed then? [23:46] its already in the .themes folder [23:46] look for it in the theme manager [23:46] No, It's not installed. [23:46] jrib: thanks [23:46] I can't see it in my themes tab. [23:46] ruth: you either just drag the .tar.gz into the appearances window (which automatically extracts it to .themes) or you do it the harder way and extract the theme yourself into ~/.themes. Don't do both [23:46] ruth: Try restarting the appearance manager [23:46] ruth, just drag the tar.gz to the themes window in appearance or click install theme and select the tar.gz [23:46] minimec, thanks for the hint ill google now [23:47] ciaran_: also, google turns up some other people trying to do what you want when I search for "udev headphones", so that may be a good source for inspiration. I don't know if there is an easier way (there might be) [23:48] sorry sorry my bad. the tar.gz one is already installed. This one however had tar.bz2 as it's file format. I extracted the folders from it and tried to drag in the appearance manager. then the previously mentioned error came [23:48] hi. does ubuntu _netbook_ version have some addons for intel atom processors? i'd like to install it on my laptop (not intel atom) - how about that? [23:48] ruth: you don't extract, just drag the tar.bz2 [23:49] 38485-DD2-MetalThemePack125.tar.bz2 Is the file name...

[23:49] jrib: did lots of searches around the theme of headphones and volume on google but just turned up forum posts on getting speakers to mute when headphones are plugged in hopefully narrowing it down to udev will make it easier to find a solution, thanks [23:49] Then it gives another error. says the themes is not a valid one.

Make sure you check the "customize" button when attempting to select a theme [23:55] hi all, anyone know how I can play a dvd on my ubuntu desktop and stream it via wifi to my android phone? [23:55] hello [23:55] jrib_: wait! I still can't see the themes in my appearance manager? [23:56] jrib: so its a do it yourself theme?

It probably was compatible with an older version of gtk [23:58] is there a device manager or something similiar to check to see if it's being detected [23:58] deca97: This is a USB wireless device? [23:58] deca97: open up a console and type "lspci -v" [23:59] jrib_: Could you also please tell me, why didn't these themes show in my themes section of appearnce manager?
