[00:00] what do you guys think of sevenos [00:00] marc_: #ubuntu-offtopic for that please [00:01] jrib: thanks === Mrokii is now known as Guest17708 [00:01] How do I open pidgin-gfire-0.9.2.tar.bz2 so i can install this plugin to Pidgin? [00:01] HI! Since upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 USB transfers are horribly slow. [00:03] Mac43DO: check "dmesg |grep usb" and make sure it is loading as a ehci usb device (high speed) [00:04] Hi!! I have a little problem, hoping you could help. For some reason I can't start sound preferences. Any ideas what is wrong ./ [00:05] What are some 'ubuntu to mac theme conversion' packs [00:05] Hi!! I have a little problem, hoping you could help. For some reason I can't start sound preferences. Any ideas what is wrong ? [00:05] Williams, do you have working sound? [00:05] i have tried the lspci -v and my wireless network card wasn't listed. does that mean it's only not installed or that it's not being detected? [00:05] g_0_0, yes I do. I want to enable audio over HDMI === canon is now known as Acid190 [00:06] deca97: what type of wifi device is it? [00:06] it's a linksys wusb11v4 [00:06] Williams, and if you go to system - preferences - sound it doesn't open correct? [00:07] g_0_0, there is no such selection [00:07] Williams, are you using gnome? [00:07] the list of compatable ones don't list that but it seems there is other drivers to make it work with 10.10 [00:07] deca97: it hasn't been detected [00:07] g_0_0, yes, ubuntu v10.10 [00:08] twitch: I don't see anything with ehci [00:08] Williams, and you have no menu option - system - preferences - sound ? does the rest of the menu work correctly? [00:09] g_0_0, yes there is no sound selection. Everything else is fine [00:10] twitch: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 [00:10] Williams, right click on the menu system go to applications and make sure that the sound option is ticked [00:10] why does it not recognize usb-2? [00:10] does anyone know why multipath routing doesn't work in ubuntu 10.10? like: ip route add default mpath wrandom nexthop ... [00:10] Williams, I meant go to preferences not applications [00:10] i feel bad, earlier today someone gave me a link about how to SIMPLY stop ssh hammering on my server. can someone point me into the right direction with a tutorial please, thanks! [00:11] where is the "Applications" menu in the file system? id need to delete some starters and change some [00:11] I'm trying to install this .exe file on Ubuntu using Wine, but whenever I try to change the permissions on the file to allow executable files to run, it doesn't stick [00:11] It just changes back right after you check it, it unchecks itself [00:11] g_0_0, Same crap, no sound selection [00:11] yahoowizard: What sort of filesystem is this file on? [00:11] in edit menus williams ? [00:11] g_0_0, yes [00:11] It's on Ubuntu, 10.10, if that's what you're asking [00:12] yahoowizard: That isn't what I'm asking. [00:12] I'm sorry, I'm not too experienced with Ubuntu [00:12] Williams, you selected preferences in the left hand window ? [00:12] yahoowizard: Which hard drive is the file on? [00:12] g_0_0, YES. System > Preferences > Main Menu [00:12] Mac43DO: it should be loading as a ehci if it is usb 2 device .. what type of device is it? [00:12] It's on a partition? [00:12] yahoowizard: Or, more to the point, which partition is it on? [00:12] sda4 [00:13] It's being dualbooted with Windows on the side [00:13] yahoowizard: And is this an NTFS partition? [00:13] Let me check [00:13] g_0_0, I can add new item into menu, just what is the command [00:13] KirkMcDonald, sorry for interrupting is there a workaround for the ntfs? i have exactly the same issue [00:13] Williams, I said right click on system menu choose edit menus a window will show on the left hand side pick preferences then on the right hand side you should be able to find sound make sure it's ticked [00:14] yahoowizard: To put the question another way, can be partition be used from Windows? [00:14] s/be/the/ [00:14] NTFS [00:15] Oh, no, it can't [00:15] It's a separate installation, in a way [00:15] g_0_0, Absolutely the same, No sound [00:15] But it is NTFS? [00:15] Yes [00:15] !java [00:15] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [00:15] !resetpanels | Williams [00:15] g_0_0, and by the way our both methods are the same [00:15] Williams: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:15] yahoowizard: You need to use a Unix filesystem to use Unix file permissions. [00:16] OH oh, my bad [00:16] I was looking at the wrong thing [00:16] i know this is a ubuntu chat so everyone will want to say ubuntu but,,, what linux distro has the best gui and desktop effects. just looking for something that is totally different looking from the rest. [00:16] Partition Type: Linux (0X83) [00:16] twitch: it is a harddisk, on 10.04 it worked perfectly [00:16] Ext4 [00:16] yahoowizard: Ah. [00:16] yahoowizard: Then I'm not sure what you're seeing. [00:16] g_0_0, ubottu , just did that, still no sound [00:16] It won't let me change any permissions of the file [00:17] yahoowizard: move the exe to your home folder and try again [00:17] OHH, I think i got it [00:17] yahoowizard: Does chmod give an error message? [00:17] Alright, thansk [00:17] heh [00:17] I hate it... an upgrade an a lot of things don't work at all and some are making problems [00:17] Let me see if this wroks...the file was originally on the Windows partition [00:17] yahoowizard, your solution is....? [00:17] My friend was failing, haha [00:17] ah [00:17] timoharling: Just be creative. An up-to-date linux distro like fedora or ubuntu will give you the same possibilities... [00:18] g_0_0, something's wrong my music player just hanged, I think I'm going to reboot [00:18] Mac43DO: try "sudo update-usbids && sudo update-pciids" [00:18] Yup, that does it [00:18] It was on the Windows partition originally, I'm helping my friend out with this adn didn't know where he was getting the file from [00:18] Williams, sudo apt-get install gnome-media [00:18] should have stayed with lucid [00:18] hello? [00:19] does anyone have xp how long shipit takes? [00:19] if i have a computer with two nic cards, one is up and running, how do i get the other one up like the first in bridged mode? I'm running a virtual machine and i want the second nic available to it to set up a private network for testing [00:19] twitch: an now? [00:19] reconnect the box? [00:19] user82: they've been fairly quick for me.. 4-5 weeks. [00:20] i know this is a ubuntu chat so everyone will want to say ubuntu but,,, what linux distro has the best gui and desktop effects. just looking for something that is totally different looking from the rest. [00:20] ok.. [00:20] timoharling: you may get a better response in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:20] timoharling: The next release of Ubuntu will have Unity, which is different from everything else... [00:20] Hmm...this file still isn't installing for some reason...IT says opening with WIne, then nothing happens at all [00:20] timoharling_: gui can be customized. That's not why you should change distros... [00:21] Mac43DO: yep reconnect and try .. when you reconnect do dmesg |grep usb again and see if it is uhci or ehci [00:21] timoharling: there are only 2 real providers of effects and those are compiz and xcompmgr [00:21] damn too late [00:21] I still dn't ge thow I'm supposed to be isntalling bin and tar.gz files [00:21] qkumbers: look on your panel with the network connections and select create new connection [00:21] yahoowizard: whats the program? [00:21] compiz is pretty good. i have it turned on with special effects on all computers. [00:21] what other channels are there apart from #ubuntu? [00:21] NASTRAN [00:21] it serves no real purpose, but it does speed up the desktop [00:22] marc_: sorry, i'm actually using ubuntu server, do you know how to do it from the command line? === rajesh is now known as Guest82927 [00:22] twitch: again usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3 [00:22] i'm also at a loss on how to make it available to an already existing virtual machine [00:22] qkumbers: so no gui? [00:22] marc_: nope [00:23] marc_: in solaris it used to be plump up/down [00:23] ratcheer, ah heck unity........i dont like it [00:23] qkumbers: look at man for ifconfig [00:23] Mac43DO: do you have another usb2 device you can plug in and check if it is loading as u/ehci [00:24] g_0_0, Did the restart, still nothing. Sound works, I am listening to music [00:24] user82: Well, that's neither here nor there [00:24] twitch: yes, I try [00:25] marc_: okay, let's say i get everything configured through ifconfig, how do i add new interfaces to a virtual machine? the server guide doesn't mention how to do it after the fact [00:25] yahoowizard: Thats a very niche program, it might not be supported by WINE [00:26] twitch: usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address [00:26] ratcheer, i think you can disable it and switch back to the normal panel on the bottom easily [00:26] no success [00:26] ruth: ... a lot. [00:27] Hi, can any body help me please.......I don´t have internet connection but i Have mail, I mean I cannot connect to any page with browser and evem to Ubuntu center [00:28] KirkMcDonald: a lot what? [00:28] twitch: I get this: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub [00:28] But that IS a USB-2 pci-card [00:28] ruth: Of channels. [00:29] frustrating [00:29] g_0_0, any ideas what is wrong ? [00:29] KirkMcDonald: ahh yes! I was just looking into that only :) [00:29] Mac43DO: try plugging a usb2 device stright into the motherboard and see if it loads as ehci .. if it does it narrows it down a bit [00:30] qkumber: is the virtual machine have a static or dhcp connection [00:31] I have no USB-2 on the motherbord ^^ [00:31] marc_: static [00:31] twitch: I have no USB-2 on the motherboard, that's why I use a pci-card [00:32] qkumber: i take it you understand the basics of tcp/ip [00:32] Mac43DO: ahh ok sounds like the pci card is not loading as a ehci capiable hub can you paste bin your lspci -v for me [00:33] marc_: yes [00:33] hi, is it possible to do something similar to "cp -r *.a ../build/" but have it actually work? [00:34] twitch: http://pastebin.com/NkGYFtzy [00:34] qkumber: you need to have the dhcp server and assign static ip and be sure your have all subnets the same [00:34] marc_: do you mean across the physical network interfaces? [00:35] i have a mac keyboard. i am tired of having to hold down FN while holding down a function key in order to get it to work. any work around for this ? [00:35] qkumber: are they both hardware nics [00:35] hello i was wondering what the program is that lets you use you joystick as a mouse? [00:36] Mac43DO: thanks if you look at line 119 to 138 you see it use both uhci and ehci .. hurm [00:36] marc_: yes the server has two physical nics, one is part of a bridge that has a static ip on a vlan as part of a larger network [00:36] anyone have any tips on conserving the battery on a bluetooth mouse ? i have to change batteries about once every 3 days. [00:36] I can not start sound preferences, there is no such option under System > Preferences > Sound! Help me please [00:36] Bizzeh: why use the '-r' [00:36] Williams, try right clicking the volume icon up top and see if there is a properties [00:36] twitch: the onbord-usb uses both too, but it is only USB-1 [00:36] qkumber: so both nics are in use [00:36] marc_: i'm trying to bring the other one up, make it available to a virtual machine and assign it a static private address to use with other machines on a closed network (via a dedicated switch) [00:37] Hey, is there anyway to keep different themes/wallpapers for different workspaces? [00:37] avis, there is, but it doesn't work. That's the problem [00:37] twitch. shoul I try an older kernel? [00:37] marc_: the second nic is plugged into a switch, but i don't think any settings are set so the OS sees it but it is not configured [00:37] Does anyone know how to launch a background program in webmin ? [00:37] Williams: Install gnome-media [00:37] marc_: i'm sure i could set some via ifconfig and /etc/network/interfaces but i don't know if i need to set up a bridge first and how to present it to the virtual machine [00:37] Mac43DO: yeah ... what kernel you running atm? [00:38] ruth: Compiz can do it, but you won't be able to have any desktop items [00:38] qkumber: so your 1st nic is part of another network on a subnet and static ip for say 10.0.0.1 and you want your private network to be on 192.168.2.0? [00:38] soreau, THAT DID IT [00:38] FUCK YOU"RE THE MAN [00:38] marc_: exactly! [00:38] Williams: watch the swears please ;) [00:38] qkumber: you don't want to bridge the connections [00:38] how can i message someone? [00:38] !language | Williams [00:38] Williams: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [00:39] galamar: use: /msg nick message [00:39] galamar: remember to ask first too ;) [00:39] Williams: Better than sex, isn't it? ;) [00:39] qkumber: if you want all computers on your private network to use resources from the larger network you need setup a share and not a bridge [00:39] marc_: not between nics no, but do i need a bridge between the physical host and the virtual machine through the second nic? [00:39] minimec, I'm not retarted yet :) [00:40] qkumber: the virtual machine should have a virtual nic [00:40] marc_: ok, that sounds familiar, then i can add the shared interface with the virtual machine i suppose [00:40] KM0201: o/ squeezed yet? [00:40] qkumber: sounds about right [00:40] Mac43DO: btw "yeah" as to the on board i wouldn't roll back kernels, but what kernel version you using atm? [00:40] marc_: yes, i want to add a new virtual nic to the virtual machine [00:40] itaylor57: o/ :) [00:40] marc_: so ho do i set up a share? [00:41] twitch: 2.6.35-25-generic [00:41] marc_: how* [00:41] help with vw usb setup? [00:41] qkumber: is this just for internet or file/printer sharing on your private network [00:41] pooltable: what's vm? [00:41] vw [00:41] vmbox [00:42] marc_: closed network, no internet. you could say file/print sharing i suppose, but not exactly what i'm doing [00:42] virtualbox [00:42] marc_: basically testing a thin client network [00:42] pooltable: in a vmbox, the hardware will be virtualized, the wireless will most likely show as a wired nic, as long as the host has the device configured it will fly [00:42] Mac43DO: i'm stuck sry mate, the only thing i can suggest is putting in a bug report or seeing if anyone else knows why since 10.04->10.10 your usb devices are loading as uhci instead of ehci [00:42] i need support for using my joystick as a mouse [00:43] marc_: i'm going to connect a few thin clients to the switch that the second nic is on and do some testing without effecting the other network [00:43] qkumbers: so your private network is not connected to the larger one [00:43] twitch: ok, thank you!. i have to go to slepp now, bye! [00:43] marc_: no it is not [00:43] Mac43DO: np's sry I couldn't get it fixed for you [00:44] marc_: the thin client server i'm running will run a dhcp server only on the second interface and the thin clients will get a address from it on a different class of IPs and then be able to connect, etc [00:45] marc_: it works fine on the larger network, but i need it isolated now to continue testing [00:45] qkumber: the larger network has a router [00:45] galamar: usb or serial joystick? [00:45] marc_: you could say that, yes [00:45] gnea: usb [00:45] qkumber: so basically the larger network's router handles the routing and dhcp [00:46] marc_: yes, although the server is using a static configuration on the larger network [00:46] marc_: your earlier description was spot on [00:47] marc_: eth0 - static 10.x.x.x, eth1 - (i want) static 192.168.x.x [00:47] can someone help me? My empathy photo doesn't change [00:47] qkumbers: so you want to use a switch on a physical nic to connect other computers using thin client to connect to a virtual server as the router [00:47] marc_: eth0 - router, eth1 - switch [00:47] marc_: yes [00:47] what's the easiest way from the cli to create multiple directories from a list (.csv, .txt, .xls)? [00:48] presman: maybe xargs [00:48] presman: directories? [00:48] .csv .txt [00:48] oh, you mean that's the format the list is in [00:48] correct [00:48] presman: maybe if you pipe the cat of the list to xargs, not sure [00:48] i'd just copy the list into vim, surround them in quotes and mkdir, and run it a shell script [00:49] qkumbers: if you bridge the eth1 and virtual nic and setup routing on your virtual machine [00:49] galamar: might want to start by installing xserver-xorg-input-joystick [00:49] galamar: not sure beyond that... [00:49] how do I configure sendmail to foreward mail over ssl port 587? [00:49] hmm === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [00:49] galamar: might need to edit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-joystick.conf or something [00:50] marc_: ok, so set up a bridge using eth1 on the physical host, then add the bridge as a virtual nic interface on the virtual host? then set up IP, etc on the virtual host? === presman is now known as MrMookie [00:51] qkumbers: yes then it will use the physical eth on the switch to allow other machines to connect [00:51] qkumbers: I assume the virtual machine has the thin server [00:51] Gnea: i have that already hmmm i had it working on natty but dont remember how i did it. i think i got advice here. [00:51] marc_: yes. ok, i'm going to give that a shot, thanks! [00:52] qkumbers: its been a while since i played with stuff like that [00:52] galamar: if you're on 10.04 or 10.10, we can help you here, otherwise for natty you'll need to ask in #ubuntu+1 [00:53] marc_: it always confuses me. i'm moving over from solaris so there are some new things too [00:53] marc_: i've been on linux for a while, but never did advanced networking like this on it [00:53] qkumbers: same thing different names [00:53] Gnea: nope natty crashed switched to lucid [00:54] hey everyone [00:54] marc_: yup, the trick is finding the different names i suppose [00:54] I was wondering if anyone was good with samba and could give me a few tips on configuring it? [00:54] galamar: okay. I've never setup a joystick like that before, so I'm not sure of the proper procedure, and documentation for it seems to be geared toward undoing it rather than setting it up [00:54] qkumbers: also lol try interfacing with activedirectory [00:55] marc_: i have, it isn't fun at all [00:56] marc_: i've given that stuff up in place of a good identity manager, that way LDAP can coexist with AD and everyone can do what they're best at, while the common info stays in sync [00:56] Gnea: there is a program for it but i cant remember the name. [00:57] marc_: it's too bad that Oracle bought Sun, because the Sun Identity Manager was pretty good [00:57] qkumbers: most users are best at whining and breaking all your hard work lol [00:57] Anyone know how to get exFAT to work in Ubuntu? I formatted my external HDD as that without knowing it, and i dont have the disk space to copy somewhere else and reformat. [00:57] marc_: i'm finding i get angry at them faster than before, guess i'm losing patience lol [00:58] qkumbers: no your becoming a true network technician [00:58] у меняяя не стооооиииииииииииииь твоя роза в стакааанеееее [00:58] у тебя не течёёёёёт из под крана вода [00:58] marc_: lol [00:58] !ru | acidtech [00:58] acidtech: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [00:58] galamar: joymouse comes to mind, but I can't find it [00:58] Somebody's nekulturny.

[01:08] ? how please [01:08] ok, ive been askign this question for three days now [01:08] after i upgraded totem no longer puts playlists in numerical order, how do i change it back?

[01:09] i did a system upgrade [01:09] marc_: i started narrowing down on specifics without looking at the big picture [01:09] Mbaggs: "nmap 127.0.0.1" dont have nmap installed "sudo apt-get install nmap" [01:09] thankyou [01:09] qkumbers: hence the load of questions i fired at you lol [01:10] so in windows I can use "FOR /F %n IN (newfolders.txt) DO MKDIR %n" to create directories from a .txt file. What would be an equalivent [01:10] marc_: haha, yeah that helped me work through my own setup in my head. thanks again. i got the bridge up! now to see if i can add it to the virtual machine === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [01:11] Pici and usr13 what I meant was touchpad gestures such as OSX's [01:12] qkumbers: sorry but i thought the bridge was for the virtual nic to physical nic [01:12] evulhotdog: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gestikk-mouse-gesture-recognition-in-ubuntu.html [01:12] soreau, me again :) I got a feeling that I am going to irritate you :) So now I want to enable audio over HDMI. So far no success, any suggestions ? [01:13] marc_: where do i create it then? once i created it on the physical host, i am able to add a virtual nic that specifies that bridge as the "source device" [01:14] how do i know if i am using 64bit ubuntu.... i know my processor is amd64 but not sure about OS [01:14] qkumbers: should work.. [01:14] galamar: uname -m [01:14] qkumbers: my bad i thought you said it was up [01:14] galamar: uname -m [01:14] 555 [01:15] galamar: i686 == 32bit x86_64 == 64bit [01:15] maco: i686 so is that bad [01:15] Hello friends [01:15] galamar: 32bit [01:15] everyone [01:15] qkumbers: not half way through lol [01:15] hi JoeCoolDesk1 [01:15] hello [01:15] marc_: well it looks like it worked, i have new interfaces in the virtual machine that i guess i can configure on the same network with static IPs, i just don't understand why it added two more interfaces (eth1, eth2) [01:15] should i be using 64-bit.... will using 32-bit cause problems? [01:16] +i [01:16] Can I take my VirtualBox installation of Ubuntu and install it into a partition on my real PC? [01:16] hi [01:16] maco: should i be using 64-bit.... will using 32-bit cause problems? [01:16] galamar: amd64 is backwards compatible [01:16] JoeCoolDesk1: i'd ask in #vbox too,as far as I know it installs to a disk image [01:16] qkumbers: are they on the virtual [01:16] galamar: i just said it's backwards compatible.... [01:16] hi [01:16] JoeCoolDesk1, yes. ask about in #vbox. [01:17] maco: okay so ill be fine?.... what do i gain if i run 64-bit? [01:17] you are a information for instalation [01:17] in bt4 [01:17] Williams: did you check the audio preferences in the panel? (gnome-volume-control) [01:17] marc_: yeah. before reboot: eth0, after: eth0, eth1, eth2 [01:17] [PROBLEM] Bluetooth dongle dies every few minutes only when using BT mouse, more info -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668076 [01:17] nibox: bcktrack is offtopic here [01:17] do not instal a compact package [01:17] in my bt4 [01:17] for a sudo options [01:17] marc_: looking around, can't explain it. i'm going to try removing it and adding again [01:17] galamar: well 32bit kernels automatically get PAE if you have >3GB RAM at install time so umm.... 64bit gets you support for A) over 5TB RAM and B) having a single process use over 3GB all by itself [01:17] nibox: backtrack has it's own channel [01:18] minimec, yeah I did, there is HDMI output, but it doesn't work [01:18] qkumbers: without seeing it [01:18] galamar: assuming you're not talking about a server under HUGE load... 64bit doesnt get ya much [01:19] marc_: seeing what? [01:19] qkumbers: what your doing lol [01:19] maco: okay thank you i think ill stay with 32. [01:19] hello, anyone tried that cpufreq keeps switching cpu speed while on battery ? (I have tried both having performance and fixed max cpu speed) [01:20] marc_: this is nuts, i just removed the interface and eth2 is still there with the same virtual MAC [01:20] qkumbers: like i said its been a while since i have done this.. but if i can remember it did add virtual nics [01:20] Williams: Could you 'paste.ubuntu.com' the output of 'lspci' on a console? [01:21] marc_: maybe it was automatic and i wasn't supposed to add it myself, not sure. i'm going to just use eth2 and see what happens [01:21] qkumbers: something about sharing the bridge to another nic because the actual nic is in use by the bridge [01:22] qkumbers: so the computer cannot use the nic that is bridged for anything [01:24] marc_: i think it is related to that. i was using the virt-manager gui to do this stuff remotely from an ubuntu desktop and i think it wasn't happy with me messing with all the settings while the vritual machine was running... [01:25] qkumbers: so the nic you wanted to bridge was in use at the time [01:26] marc_: no, i think the gui just got things confused. now that it's all straightened out, i have to go mess with the persistent-net.rules to fix the fact that it assigned it to eth3 :-/ [01:27] hi, i cant access any of the repos, doesnt matter which country i choose, i always get a 404, otherwise the internet is fine, what can i do ?

[02:37] I've seen overpriced web services that will let you email an address with a loose syntax to set them also [02:37] sha1sum: when you view the_sum_of_all_your_calendars i mean...

[04:07] sk222: to start at the bottom you should at least provide the package of the software that you are working to try to setup such a server [04:08] Waiting on it to install [04:08] will see how it does this time >.< [04:08] When trying to install ubuntu 10.04LTS it fails on installing the grub boot loader. I've done this setup with RAID 1 following the tutorials online. I believe the problem is I was never able to mark the root partition as bootable and I just moved forward anyways. 1, why would it not let me? 2, is there a way to mark it bootable after the fact. 3, can i install grub after without redoing the whole installation? [04:08] sk222, what does this server do!!??? file sever?? mail server?? apache server!?? [04:08] sk222, are you talking web server, irc, mail, what?

[04:09] sk222: that's the type of server irc ok one step closer, there are at least 5 irc server applications that I know of and some custom scripts that do the same thing [04:10] Ryanj629, first thing i would do is google you motherboard and ubuntu. see what results you get [04:10] okay the program im running now is uhh smuxi [04:10] if that helps [04:10] I'm using recordmydesktop for screenvids (in Maverick) and it outputs ogv files.

(ubuntu open the device as mass storage). I followed a guide, and I have installed and configured the package usb_modeswitch. (I tried with both versions, ubuntu version and updated version of the debian package) package should change the way that it recognizes the device (USB modem instead of mass storage). Now [05:25] ubuntu will not mount more mass storage devices, but the usb modem is not recognized. using the command lsusb I see the device, product and vendor. I've configured the rules usb_modeswitch, but the network manager does not recognize the usb modem. The modem is manufactured by Huawei, the strange thing: another huawei modem without the mass storage works fine and connects to the Internet without any configuration on the same netbook. [05:26] anyone there, need help her [05:26] here* [05:26] Vitasoy you want them to run at startup yes? [05:26] b4sh: correct [05:26] Vitasoy use rc.local then [05:27] b4sh: okay, I tried that earlier didn't work for me either. Is there a reason why it doesn't work as a cron job?

[05:29] Vitasoy Im not familiar with the @reboot command although I assume it would need a call to the init reboot script as opposed to shutdown -r which could be the problem [05:29] I have a machine which I log into via ssh and I see via mail.

If a connection is established on either, show some stats about the connection [05:29] g_0_0: let me try it again. [05:30] show stats ONLY on the devices where connections are active [05:30] show "Offline" on whatever devices don't have an active connection [05:30] this has been done [05:30] now for the weird part: [05:30] b4sh: makes sense, also can shell scripts be ran with sudo commands if the file is owned by root? say "apt-get update -y" [05:30] hipitihop, x-forwarding - use the -X param for ssh - ssh -X username@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx then launch the gui program you want from the terminal [05:30] I need a proper symbol to denote wireless and ethernet [05:31] I currently have ethernet="~" and wireless=">" [05:31] pancakes, that's exactly what i was thinking [05:31] Vitasoy yes you can put sudo in your scripts and it will prompt you for sudo auth [05:31] the ethernet symbol /does/ look like a wire, so yay! [05:31] ~ is so ethernet === BaconAndEggs is now known as Moroni [05:31] but the wireless symbol doesn't seem to graphically capture the concept of a wireless connection [05:31] b4sh: but if I don't want them to prompt me, I want it to already have access so I don't have to be at my machine, what should I do? [05:32] Vitasoy use keys [05:32] g_0_0, no idea what graphical mail xfce has by default, but are these things capable of reading local mail ? [05:32] it's an inconsequential thing, but it's bugging me more than I can handle at this point, so I need to solve this problem before my head explodey [05:32] pancakes, how about (c- [05:32] that's awesome === Moroni is now known as Abinidai [05:32] b4sh: I'm a little lost, I'm a newbie=x what do you mean by use keys [05:33] ((-)) [05:33] hipitihop, if you are using ssh the process is running on the remote machine [05:33] !kerberos | Vitasoy [05:34] let me try this... one sec BRB [05:34] Vitasoy look up kerberos authentication and ssh keys tbh its alot to go into [05:34] hipitihop, so if you want to read mail on the remote machine do what I suggested above [05:34] b4sh: sounds good thanks for your help [05:35] np [05:35] b4sh, I've tried three times. Still no joy. could it be because I'm executing it inside a VirtualBox? I haven't logged out and back in to my other (physical) machine and tried it [05:36] Abinidai sorry what? Think you messaged the wrong perso [05:36] I like (c- better for it's low character count [05:36] but I'm going with (( - )) for it's symmetry [05:37] thank you, @lithpr [05:37] oh yea. just beat me like a step child. I'm getting punch drunk after 18 hours on the keyboard [05:37] i have 'useless' on lock [05:37] i knew i could help [05:37] hahaha [05:37] and you did [05:37] adios folks!! [05:37] Abinidai chill just dont know what your on about [05:38] g_0_0, yes sorry badly worded, ment remote...i.e remote machine has xfce so no idea what the default grpahic mail client is and do mail clients generally know how to read system mail ? e.g. could I test it on my own laptop ?, running gnome + evolution would be able to manage system mail on laptop ? [05:38] b4sh: I was using the device manager app to try and mount an NTFS partion on the physical drive. I can't seem to get the job done. [05:39] hipitihop, I don't know what mail app is running on the remote machine but if you could run it if you were sitting at the remote machine you should be ok [05:40] hai [05:40] Abindai ok I cant help you with gui but open a terminal and type fdisk -l that will show all the devices conneted [05:41] well Im off folks. Have a nice night and thanks for the help. Ciao [05:41] hipitihop, appears to be xfmail - so log in to remote machine as described above and type - xfmail & - see what happens [05:41] I've installed a little icon next to the sound icon but it doesn't start up when the comp starts, you gota alt + f2 and type indicator-cpufreq in there [05:41] any way to get chrome to open this link http://www.kpfa.org/streams/kpfa_24k.m3u ? Missing plugin error [05:42] is there a way to use Start Applications on Ubuntu to make it so it starts up [05:42] hipitihop what are you trying to achieve? [05:43] b4sh, he want a gui mail client on a remote machine using ssh [05:43] hello, my bluetooth doesn't work anymore. I can't start the daemon and i gotta fix it in a hour. [05:43] Easy question : How do I echo $term? [05:43] g_0_0 to do what though? [05:43] echo $TERM [05:43] b4sh, read mail on the remote machine I think [05:44] g_0_0, will give it a shot thanks [05:44] thats simple then just have a mail client retrieve mail from the server or am I missing something? [05:44] b4sh, trying to read system mail on a remote machine (same network), remote machine has xfce (mythbuntu setup) [05:45] b4sh, not sure he seemed to want a gui client on the remote machine [05:45] Okay.. how do I set TERM permanently then? I want to use "xterm-256color" for a 256 color VIM color-scheme. [05:45] hipitihop set up a mail server on the remote machine and connect via pop === petanilinux is now known as gus-pur [05:46] b4sh, better still, how do I get the remote machine to just send all system mail to say may gmail account ? [05:46] Jon--, http://www.kb.indiana.edu/data/acpy.html [05:46] hipitihop without a mail server you dont [05:47] b4sh, can't use gmail itself ? [05:47] hipitihop you probably can but you will need a dns server instead of a mail server [05:48] hi, i need some advice, i am havin windows 7, ubuntu 10.10 ( mint linux 10, to be exact) and pardus 2009 in my system, all in separate partitions ( but ubuntu and pardus shares the same logical though). when i install pardus 2009 last time, after a mint linux installation, i didnt recognise ubuntu. i added it manually somehow, and it stuck with me getting into pardus grub, then into ubuntu grub. i reinstalled mint linux grub, and it [05:48] b4sh: You can tell gmail to check other pop or imap accounts [05:48] lithpr: I'd like 256 colour support. How do I get this? I know that it's supported, I saw a post on Ubuntu forums saying do this: export TERM="xterm-256color" but this does not seem to work any more. [05:48] usr13 yeah but they need to be served by a server duh [05:48] b4sh: and just create filters for the various accounts / threads etc. [05:48] b4sh, how do you do that with with a dns server and no mail server? [05:49] con, i planto replace pardus with fedora kde 14. what is the SAFEST functional way to do that? [05:49] inashdeen: "Mint Linux 10" is not Ubuntu. Try asking in their channel. [05:49] !mintsupport [05:49] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu, please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [05:49] How does gdm decide what users to list? There's a system user (CouchDB Administrator) that is showing up for some reason, and I'm trying to figure out why it's showing up. [05:50] Mint is the enemy- diaf ;) [05:50] g-0-0 not sure what he wants to do but if he has a mail server and a google account he can set his mx to google and let his mail server control it but that will need dns config [05:50] lithpr: Not particularly. It's just not supported. [05:50] rww:what is their channel? btw, it is of similar architecture,right? i aways seem to be in the ubuntu spirit.huhuh [05:50] I found some site that mentioned user id >1000, but this doesn't seem to be the case. It's ID is <1000. [05:50] inashdeen: #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org, as ubottu said [05:50] lithpr: Do you not know how to do this then? [05:50] jeffwheeler: probably because an account has been created under that name. === q_a_z_steve1 is now known as q_a_z_steve [05:51] Anyone know if gedit has a setting for NOT pasting at EOL when using mouse paste? [05:51] g_0_0 i.e hotmail > dns server > googlemail [05:51] inashdeen: Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, just like Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian. Each layer makes changes that the upstream doesn't know about, so they have their own channels. (#debian doesn't support Ubuntu, for example) [05:51] i'm playing with it... Jon-- how could one tell if one had a 256 color term? [05:51] b4sh ok thanks [05:51] usr13: It seems pretty safe to say a user was created with that name, presumably by a couchdb-related package. But it shouldn't be showing up in gdm. Not sure what is misconfigured that is causing it to be. [05:51] lithpr: I can tell because my vim colorscheme requires it and looks like crap without it.. ;) [05:52] hello, I need some help. I have a built-in blueotooth device. Few days ago it start to have trouble to connect to my handsfree but was ok with my cellphone. I tried to install/uninstall blueman and bluez and after few manipulations the daemon stopped working and I can't start it any more [05:53] hmmm... well, after i did exactly what you said, i have some obnoxious syntax highlighting in nano [05:53] latenal look in /var/log/messages and /var/logdmesg for anything relevant [05:53] latenal look in /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg for anything relevant* [05:54] and exporting back to xterm doesn't seem to help [05:54] so, i am no help [05:54] except the echo $TERM part :) [05:54] rww: nobody seems to exist there though, except me an another guy name bozonius [05:55] inashdeen2: note the "on irc.spotchat.org" part of my sentence [05:55] Jon--, do you get pretty colors when you "ls -la"? [05:55] rww: i dont understand, i am quite slow in computing, u know. non programmer [05:56] inashdeen2: You're currently on the 'freenode' IRC network. Linux Mint, for some unfathomable reason, decided not to use freenode. They use spotchat instead. [05:56] lithpr: It should really only affect vim colour schemes. The assumption for most other things is that you aren't using 256-colors. [05:57] find /lib/terminfo /usr/share/terminfo -name "*256*" [05:57] http://push.cx/2008/256-color-xterms-in-ubuntu [05:58] rww: may i know where to get spotchat, i mean, its exact website? [05:58] oic - Jon-- , yeah, when i do that "tput colors" i get 8 [05:58] b4sh nothing interesting in those files [05:59] export TERM="xterm-256color" [05:59] hello your honors. looking for ideas on why i can't get php5 working on ubuntu 10.04 alternate install [05:59] tput colors [05:59] 256 [05:59] lithpr: Yep, got it, like I said issue was I was doing export $TERM the $ is not needed. [06:00] latenal whats the sercive name? and what does service name restart echo? [06:00] yeah, that would set the value to a value, not really helpful :) [06:00] Lucid: How can I arrange the symbols on the GNOME desktop automatically in a grid (matrix) so that they will not overlap (similar to Windows XP)? === jeremy is now known as panick [06:01] bullgard4: right click desktop and click Keep Aligned [06:01] http://hubpages.com/hub/Speed-Up-Internet-with-Google-Public-DNS === jeremy is now known as Guest9365 [06:01] sorry [06:02] Anonnn why let google see anything else that you do [06:02] gpc: No sir. I have asserted this context menu item. Still my desktop does not arrange items in a grid. [06:02] inashdeen2: go to http://community.linuxmint.com/ . On the Community menu at the top, click "Chat room". That should get you to #linuxmint-chat on the right server. From there, there should be a link to #linuxmint-help you can use. [06:02] rww: seriously, i dont know where to get to spotchat. everythinhg is in german,which i dont understand, an dit looks fuzzy [06:02] b4sh `/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart` says nothing. But when check the status, it says that bluetooth is not running [06:02] inashdeen2: I know, it took me a while to figure out too. Hence the delay in replying ;) [06:03] b4sh: they can see what i do D: [06:03] do you guys know if there's ubuntu irc channel about the netbook version? [06:03] halpbatman: no [06:03] bullgard4: I don't know how else to do it, sorry [06:03] latenal tail the messages log now [06:03] halpbatman: rather, I do know. there isn't. [06:03] gpc: Thank you. [06:03] b4sh, because time warner dns gets f*ing poisoned all the time [06:03] google spying on everything [06:03] rww: lol thx for clarification [06:04] thats where tunneling comes in handy [06:04] but honestly what's google really gonna do with spying [06:04] rule the universe [06:04] i doubt they're gonna risk their rep selling usr info to third party [06:04] lithpr whats stopping you having your own dns server?

I have been going to different sites and nothing is working. I am clueless. lol [06:08] can anyone help me? i wanna make the menubar on the top autohide [06:08] latenal sorry forgot your issue what is it again?

In previous generations, I would try different drivers in xorg.conf (e.g. vesa), but how do you do that nowadays? [06:08] Choose properties sorry [06:08] inashdeen2: If it's currently like the last time I visited, then you're not the only one. It's just a slow channel. Either way, I don't know their policies on support in -chat; you'd have to ask them.

[06:28] to allow booting off it [06:28] On accident I removed the notification thingy on the notification area of the gnome panel. (the one to check chat messages / email) How do I bring it back? [06:29] Anonnn: Basically just 21 computers connected to three switches, with one being the "server" [06:29] php mail function does work with localhost providing the mail server accepts it [06:29] Anonnn: iTalc is able to switch all 20 networked pcs off, but not back on again [06:29] Vitasoy: Right-click panel > Add to panel > Notification Area [06:29] linuxson: hmm, remote start... [06:30] rusty149: i tried that and it won't let me add it, the Add button does not do anything [06:30] rusty149: the icon also has a blue "!" on it [06:30] thats in the 20 pc's bios somewhere, "wake on - mouse click" iunno [06:30] linusasus6: if you want to restore grub, the link provided earlier should help you..(shouldnt matter much) .. but if you are using debian as the main OS and that is what adds the grub lines, you should ask in debian support channels.. [06:30] Anonnn: I have given wakeonlan a try, but for some or other reason it gives me an error when trying to run a file [06:30] Vitasoy: killall gnome-panel [06:30] Anonnn: And it looks like etherwake doesnt handle batches [06:30] linuxson: what kind of error? [06:31] rusty149: it restarts the gnome-panel but doesn't bring the email icon thingy back [06:31] Anonnn: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/wakeonlan line 138 [06:31] Vitasoy: Which icon has an ! [06:31] ok thank evilvish what are the debian support channel list [06:31] did u spell wakeonlan right? [06:31] * evilvish not sure about that.. [06:32] rusty149: notification area - i think it means it's already active but i just don't have that messager thing [06:32] Anonnn: Checked out that line in that file, and changed the two fieldnames to the filename in question, but still no luck [06:32] might be WakeonLan or WakeOnLan or something [06:32] kf7nnz: Weird. So, it will never send automatically w/o first clicking snd/rec? [06:32] !debian-fr channel [06:32] how do i overlock with ubuntu10.10? [06:33] daniel: hmm, never thought about it bud id like to know that too. [06:33] !debian channel [06:33] Anonnn: And that was me trying to use the default conf file that comes with wakeonlan!! lol [06:33] I cannot get Grub2 to work any ideas and please stop sending me to the Ubuntu grub site it is useless. [06:33] daniel: in bios? [06:33] djjonex the reason why your sending mail to localhost doesent work if its not your own server the web server will pass on to a mailserver so you will need the IP of the mailserver [06:33] Anonnn, is it possible u think? [06:33] joc: that is correct! very strange! Evolution 2.30.2 on Ubuntu 10.10 [06:33] !debian | linusasus6 [06:33] linusasus6: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/what-is-debian.html - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [06:34] Xbios, how would i get there? [06:34] daniel: is your computer built? bought? [06:34] daniel: yeah [06:34] what are u trying to overclock? [06:34] kf7nnz: You're not in offline line mode any any chance? [06:35] Xbios, Its a stock vostro 1000 running ubuntu 10.10 [06:36] Xbios, desktop edition [06:36] How can I find out why I cannot re-install Grub2 and boot to Linux? [06:36] so useless infos I just need an help channel please for restore my ubuntu in the grub of debian [06:36] joc: no, I did have that issue once - my network connection dropped after a RDP session hung. But even after I rebooted and the network was back, my mail still didn't send until I manually pressed send/receive [06:36] It looks like dell disables those options in bios. Looks like you will need to find a software alternative unfortunately, that I can't help you with off the top of my head :/ [06:36] linusasus6: as mentioned earlier, try the earlier links already given to you or ask debian folks . not here [06:37] but for future reference i believe you hold the del key as your booting (during POST) [06:37] * vzever register === mettaben is now known as testing [06:37] kf7nnz thats because you where to impatient to wait for your mail server [06:37] ok will look on their website goodnite everyone [06:38] Xbios, ok so reboot and hold del? [06:38] b4sh: Ah, I see. How many days should I wait? 8-) [06:38] Does anyone know how I can get this green email icon back on my gnome panel? http://goo.gl/n89pt [06:38] yes, but like i said, Dell has disabled those features in your BIOS [06:38] my laptop Lenovo g460's touch pad's right / left buttons are not working in ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. could anyone help me.?? [06:38] <_skpl> Vitasoy: its only green when you have mail in your inbox [06:39] kf7nnzobviously some sircumstances account [06:39] I use a Dell for Ubuntu as a second OS. [06:39] Vitasoy: It is a part of indicator applet not notification area [06:39] Vitasoy: icon will turn green when you receive new messages/mail [06:39] Just cannot get Grub2 to erstore. [06:39] you will not be able to change your frequency, multiplier, voltages, steppings, etc. [06:39] restore [06:39] rusty149: _skpl: I don't have the icon at all / green or white/ [06:39] Vitasoy: Yes add the indicator applet to the pane; [06:39] Vitasoy: then add the "indicator-applet" [06:40] kf7nnz: My best guess would be to check your mail server's error log :-/. Maybe recreate the account. No idea. [06:40] daniel: www.eocf.com <--- Check this forum out, I've been there for almost 7 years, maybe you can get better answers there [06:40] rusty149: evilvish thanks [06:40] Xbios, im reading reviews on my comp and there saying the cooling system isnt very good and not worth it cause its a laptop [06:40] I think I will try getting the latest version - it seems to be 2.32.1 so I am at least a couple back. Thanks all for trying! ;-) [06:40] kf7nnz again depends where your mail comes from [06:41] why do people think everything is so black and white [06:41] What would stop Grub2 from being restored? [06:41] daniel: I would agree. I wouldn't OC a laptop/netbook either. Your gains would be incredibly minimal IMO. [06:42] my touch pad's right / left buttons are not working in ubuntu 10.10 32 bit. could anyone help me.?? [06:42] ipad > apple support [06:43] Xbios, hmm ok i prolly wont mess with it then i was jsut reading reviews and the amd 64 athion x2 i read was pretty good for the price of the latop and thought mabey i could more out of it [06:44] so [06:45] wtf? [06:45] how i configure postfix [06:45] elnetotaca: An eloquent question. [06:45] Does anyone know about Grub? [06:45] indeed [06:45] Xbios, but u know what i should next to get the most out of ubuntu? [06:45] djjonex, sudo nano /etc/postfix/postfix.conf ? I don't know the exact filenames [06:46] * joc is looking for a new drum and base podcast... [06:46] probably something similar [06:46] daniel : I couldn't really tell you. I'm new to ubuntu myself. Just made the switch a week ago and it's refreshing [06:46] Nisstyre thanks bro [06:46] @daniel; go back to windos, linux sucks [06:46] djjonex, keep in mind that was rather tongue in cheek [06:46] you're going to need to read the documentation [06:46] Linux rules over Windows. [06:47] IMO it's a much better OS for mobile computers, I couldn't be happier [06:47] haha, windows. [06:47] equally sucks [06:47] postfix is harder to configure than most programs [06:47] is there any program I could use to run ssh command and then close it but the command goes through [06:47] elnetotaco, why do u say that? [06:47] to get it to work like you want it takes for ever [06:47] and when it does works like you want it, is time to update [06:47] or upgrade [06:47] I just use this notebook for some embedded software design and browsing the net. Such a lightweight os is incredible. [06:47] its a learning experience [06:48] then the upgrade will fuck shit up [06:48] and go re-install it again [06:48] !ot [06:48] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[07:33] anyone in here use ubuntu on a netbook? [07:33] close, Lapios i have before [07:34] Lapios, had ubuntu UNR on an Acre Aspire One D250. Basic netbook [07:34] skrite. why did you remove it? [07:36] Lapios, i put something on that was lighter on resources. [07:36] UNR is great, has lots of nice features, easy to use and set up, but damn heavy and slow [07:37] Lapios, I ran Lubuntu on it, and then settled in on crunchbang. [07:37] very light [07:37] much faster [07:38] how does it do with your hardware? [07:38] There is a netbook Linux distro (I believe based on Ubuntu) called EasyPeasy. [07:39] looking at crunchbang and easypeasy now [07:39] anyone know why when i try to compile a file with gcc it says no such file or directory?

[07:42] i* [07:42] :xfer [07:42] Lapios, wireless, camera, sound, display, everything worked right out of the box [07:43] h4344 depends on ide === Moroni is now known as Abinadai [07:48] can someone tell me how to make the numlock the default when booting in Maverick? [07:48] I believe that is done in the BIOS [07:48] does ubuntu 64-Bit 10.04.1 LTS support 32-bit apps like XChat, Pidgin, Wine etc... and will flash and java work just the same as the 32-Bit Version ? [07:48] anybody else have a core i7 laptop and working suspend/hibernate ? === q_a_z_steve is now known as lookmomnohands [07:49] I don't think so ubuntuliveuser. It's on by default in my windows box (on the same machine) [07:50] hi all how can i find the ip address of the computer [07:50] maybe that is something that windows7 just does? a feature? [07:50] Okay. But I do remember it being an option in the BIOS on all my machines. [07:50] its-me-again just goto http://www.whatismyip.com [07:50] its-me-again, Open a terminal, type ifconfig [07:50] <_skpl> what do you do when you forget your bios passwd? [07:51] There is usually a jumper on the motherboard to reset the bios password [07:51] well damn, Im so new that I'm green and I was going to answer that one. everyone is quicker than me [07:51] !anyone | sandGorgon [07:51] sandGorgon: 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? [07:51] _skpl, Unplug the computer, remove the BIOS battery or reset the BIOS via the jumpers on the motherboard. [07:51] just move the little jummper pin from pin 1 and 2 to pin 2 and 3 [07:51] thanks all its for this tutoral i am following http://senk9.wordpress.com/2010/09/26/how-to-stream-media-onto-your-android-device-easily-from-anywhere/ [07:52] Who knows how to restore Grub2 when it nothing ever works? [07:52] Noone on any channel can answer. [07:52] and if you have a laptop, you're screwed unless you want to dismantle the whole machine [07:52] For that matter, I wonder if there's an Android DLNA client. [07:52] does ubuntu 64-Bit 10.04.1 LTS support 32-bit apps like XChat, Pidgin, Wine etc... and will flash and java work just the same as the 32-Bit Version ? [07:53] tanakorn: ok now out of that long list what is the ip address [07:53] ubuntuliveuser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [07:53] its-me-again just goto http://www.whatismyip.com [07:53] NOTHING works and I am tired of getting that web address no offense. === lookmomnohands is now known as q_a_z_steve [07:54] it only gives you your ip [07:54] its-me-again, IN a terminal, type: ifconfig [07:54] is this the ip address line inet addr:192.168.1.100 [07:54] YankDownUnder, I cannot figure out why Grub refuses to restore. [07:55] ubuntuliveuser, Have you read the page I pasted? [07:55] Too many times. [07:55] As well as too many other Grub websites. [07:55] Absolutely everything ends the same: FAIL! [07:55] ubuntuliveuser 99.99% of the time if your grub2 is messed up you will have to do a clean reinstall [07:56] its-me-again: yes, your _internal_ IP. Probably you're using NAT. That's broken by default. [07:56] ubuntuliveuser, http://maketecheasier.com/restore-grub-2-as-the-main-bootloader/2010/05/05 => try that one. [07:56] White-Horse: nonsense [07:56] Any way to do upgrade and save all the files/programs already installed? [07:56] ubuntuliveuser, download a supergrub ISO boot it into the ubuntu and reload the mbr from there. [07:57] is there some tweak that I don't know about in Maverick that will speed up the loading of web pages? I have a 10mb cable service and it is smokin fast on my windows 7 installation (it's on the same machine) [07:57] Been there too and that does work YankDownUnder === root is now known as Guest61447 [07:57] ubuntuliveuser yes just run update and check mark the box for new releases [07:57] What does it mean if after the BIOS screen I get "resume libgcrypt version 1.4.4" for around 15-20 seconds? Is there any way to get rid of that? [07:57] ubuntuliveuser but 10.10 is beta not stable [07:57] White-Horse, only a full purge and reinstall of gru and grub2 from a live cd at the most [07:57] p.s.

[08:00] rr0hit, Run an fsck on that USB - correct the corruptions - should boot again... [08:00] I think I tried that rescutux before and it was too confusing to use so I tossed it. [08:00] Abinadai: sudo apt-get install numlockx, then create a startup application with the command numlockx on [08:01] mullenuh: what is nat [08:02] What does it mean if after the BIOS screen (after shutdown or restart) I get "resume libgcrypt version 1.4.4" for around 15-20 seconds (on 10.04)? [08:02] llutz exactly :) [08:02] is anyone going to help me [08:02] YankDownUnder: isnt that the same thing that Disk Utility repair check and button does? I ran that with no effect. Also pls note i am using dd command to create the bootable disk [08:02] White-Horse: recommending a reinstallation just because messed grub IS nonsense. it can be restored in 99% using live-cd+chroot [08:03] rr0hit, Best to do it via the terminal mate. Then YOU KNOW it's been forced. [08:03] ok [08:03] sound problem [08:04] i installed ubuntu 10.04 in my HPG42 laptop, but i have no sound [08:04] llutz you have no idea how many time grub messed up on e and i have tried so many times to restore it using the live cd and ALLWAYS fails You have to remember that sometimes if not all all of the time uswrs are installing the grub to a windows partition not just pure linux [08:05] saini, Have you checked to see if it's actually muted or the sound volume is turned all the way down? [08:05] YankDownUnder: whats the command? sudo fsck DEVICENAME ? [08:05] rr0hit, What's the filesystem on that mate? [08:05] FAT [08:05] Grub is a complete mess. [08:05] yes i have check ,every thing is ok [08:05] YankDownUnder: FAT [08:05] How do you get Grub2 to work when everything fails? [08:06] I am ready to take the PC out and shoot ti to bits.

[08:07] ubuntuliveuser, if you can run this script and pastebin it we could probably get to an answer.http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [08:07] sound problem [08:08] ubuntuliveuser, if you do this use the tab complete on my nick so I am notified you posted the pastebin. [08:08] saini, Check to see if it's muted or if the volume is turned down. [08:08] no muted [08:09] i think this is sound driver problem [08:09] saini, System => Preferences => Sound => Hardware === king is now known as Guest67546 [08:09] White-Horse: if everyone would, then wouldn't be need in support, you don't make sense [08:10] next [08:10] bc81, i got the numlock app installed but what did you mean by 'create a startup application' be gentle with me I'm really green [08:10] Okay I download it and then what?

[08:11] saini, Is your hardware showing up? [08:11] yes [08:11] Ubuntu_1104, read the linked page, drag the script to the desktop and run the command copy and paste it.

[08:12] saini, And you've put up the volume and tested it? [08:12] Sweet! [08:12] There is no way to run it.

[08:13] my hardware windows shows, internal audio 1output/1 input [08:13] ubuntuliveuser, you will have to elaborate on not getting the script to run. [08:14] saini, Did you try to change the "profile"? [08:14] yes , tell me profile [08:14] hi.. does anyone know by chance how to specify cdma or evdo in the network profile manager? [08:14] for mobile broadband [08:14] saini, Um....just try any of the profiles - when you change one, test the sound again.

[08:18] ubuntuliveuser, Appears as though the bootloader is toasted. [08:18] unbutuliveuser: is grub commented out? [08:18] toasted? [08:19] I don't know brez [08:19] ubuntuliveuser, I'd check/double check/triple check your grub settings for booting.... [08:19] ubuntuliveuser, theoretically it should be doing the opposite, if the sdb drive is being read first have you checked [08:19] How do I do that? [08:19] i have select all profile but no sound [08:19] I don't know how to check [08:20] ubuntuliveuser, if you don't tab finish itis hard to tell who your answering [08:20] saini, where have you checked that it is unmuted: please be specific === joc is now known as joc_ [08:20] ubuntuliveuser i think u can hold shift during boot see if u get grub if im wrong tell me anyone? [08:20] saini, You might want to try: System => Administration => Hardware Drivers =====> see if the drivers have not been installed... [08:21] every noption is unmuted [08:21] saini, where [08:21] hardware show [08:21] saini, please be clear, that is not specific [08:21] ....he's looking in the Sound Preferences === pete_ is now known as scoobie [08:22] I am waiting on a new HD.

Is there any other way to tweak the performance of my internet connection? [08:24] profile is analog stereo duplex [08:24] Abinadai, It's actually quite simple, however, you could try tweaking Firefox.... [08:24] saini, that was not my question: check alsamixer; in terminal type alsamixer [08:24] Abinadai, http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_1.html [08:24] please friend solve my problem i am trying from last one month [08:25] saini, We're trying to help.

Am I lucid after being at the computer for 18 hrs? [08:28] saini, then use the arrow keys and unmute all [08:29] Abinadai, Keep reading - it gets directly into tweaking the browser via the "about:config" URL.

[08:40] YankDownUnder: im in recovery mode [08:40] Abinadai, please take the chit chat elsewhere [08:40] Hi everybody. I am trying to set up Ubuntu on a Zotac MAG and have problems getting video / sound working over HDMI to the LG television. Using the binary nvidia driver (nouveau is no option, sadly) I can get _either_ audio or video running but not both at the same time :/ [08:41] !offtopic [08:41] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [08:41] (I am using Ubuntu 10.10 with their current nvidia driver) [08:41] to get video to work I have to disable Edid parsing (UseEdid=false) otherwise I get a picture for about a second and then the tv goes into "No signal" mode [08:41] is there any way I can get root terminal in ubuntu instead of using sudo all the time [08:41] no sound [08:42] Asif, sudo -i [08:42] Asif - "sudo su" [08:42] Teamviewer rocks. I use it to manage my two college daughters machines [08:42] brez, not correct [08:42] however, alsa won't work without eld infos which I understand are part of the edid info I have to disable to get graphical output... Any ideas / workarounds? [08:43] not entirely. [08:43] I like to use Teamviewer on all my machines. [08:43] brez, we never recommend that here [08:43] I'm sorry, I did not know.......... [08:44] what is difference between apt-get "remove" and apt-get "autoremove" [08:44] the problem is i can't remove nouveau which didn't work, it says module in use, and can't insmod nvidia, says not such device -1 [08:44] "apt-get remove" will remove specified packages. "autoremove" will automagically remove packages that are no longer needed. [08:44] Having problems with booting up and logging into user accounts via iTalc. Wakeonlan has been enabled in all networked pcs, and can boot them up using etherwake. Any help? [08:44] Asif: remove removes a specific package, autoremove will remove orphans [08:45] root_, rmmod the driver mate. [08:45] YankDownUnder: i did says module in use [08:45] is it safe to use autoremove all the time [08:45] Asif, sure [08:45] and who said irc chat is overrated. I learn new things in here every ten minutes. Thanks people!

[08:47] root_, rmmod -f => force unload [08:47] I really appriciate people here . who are always willing to help and dont mind answering dumb questions [08:47] Would it be possible to add a Linux boot option in the XP boot ini and have it boot to Linux? [08:47] brez: yes using the tutorial from ^ i mentioned [08:47] its-me-again: ifconfig would show internal / whatismyip.com would show external. [08:47] YankDownUnder: ok, i'll try then again insmod nvidia, brb [08:47] ylmfos, Um...no. [08:47] ylmfos, please stop asking here, ylmfos is not supported here [08:47] brez: if you read what i said ^ both do not work [08:48] its-me-again, Um...you're not able to find out your IP address?

After it does all that, then you should be able to "apt-get install" your nvidia driver [08:55] YankDownUnder: but if the X is missing what the point in nvidia [08:55] its-me-again: he was helping you.. if both IP's aren't working, you're obviously doing something wrong.. so he was obviously covering the steps. [08:55] YankDownUnder: is there not an app to autodetc the nvidia drivers hareware devices. [08:55] Goodby!

[09:29] nibbler_: it's my machine [09:29] installer [09:29] nibbler_: please no religion [09:30] im on live cd--is there any way to reset my login password on the installed ubuntu from live cd? [09:30] preecher: As long as you weren't using an encrypted home directory, yes. [09:30] sure. not for rookies [09:30] preecher: yes, you have to chroot [09:31] hi i am trying to configure apache on ubuntu can any1 help me [09:31] #xubuntu [09:31] chupacabra: not particulary helpfull === jay is now known as Guest63714 [09:31] Jordan_U home directory wasnt encripted [09:32] preecher, you dont even need a livecd for that - but a livecd might be the easiest if you are not used to shell stuff [09:32] preecher, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [09:32] i not know what a shell is [09:32] root_: lets see how he does [09:33] i look t that and try it [09:33] thanks everyone [09:34] preecher, boot livecd, open terminal, become root, mount your harddisk, chroot to your harddisk and use "passwd insert-your-username-here" [09:34] preecher, good luck [09:35] nibbler_ doin it now thks- [09:36] preecher, other, possibly faster, way: in grub menu hit "e" to edit the default-line and append "init=/bin/sh" - then boot it. this boots you onto your original system as root in a shell. this saves you the mounting, becoming root and chrooting part - then just "remount -orw / && passwd insert-username-here" [09:36] how can i know if i've got a realtime kernel? [09:36] chupacabra: yes, im looking, cause can't do anything else because of stupid nouveau install [09:36] and how can i install it? [09:36] UzU, not sure, but i think a device /dev/rtc points to that [09:37] does anyone know if ubuntu uses in-kernel alsa or are there separate packages for the alsa drivers? [09:37] Why can't synaptic download and install packages at the same time? [09:37] i have ati but it tried neuvoux drivers [09:38] chupacabra: how it went? [09:38] got that sorted, but really, my splash says Debian [09:38] does everyones? or something silly like that [09:38] hilarie: Because often you don't want any packages to install unless they can all be installed. You can't be sure there won't be a problem downloading other packages in a transaction until they are all downloaded. [09:38] chupacabra: splash? [09:39] on grub chooser [09:39] it started as a beta. [09:39] then that neat desttop went away [09:40] chupacabra: no i meant how nouvex worked on ati [09:40] then i put xfce on for usability [09:40] chupacabra: what? [09:40] nouvex didn't work [09:40] chupacabra: ah [09:41] just saying this beta cd i used for install has left some weird gaps in stuff. [09:42] gets better with every update [09:42] why so silent here [09:42] nobody is using nvidia? [09:43] i sure liked that new desktop and cant get it back for the life of me. [09:43] @Jordan_U When I install stuff I normally do batches of things at once, and synaptic doesn't multithread download, so when you are downloading 293 packages, they might not be that large, but it takes forever because it downloads 1, then another, instead of downloading multiple ones. [09:45] hi - i have a fresh ubuntu with nx server free eidtion... when I connect from a mac it seems like the command key is stuck down. Anyone have any idea of anything I can do to fix this? something with setxkbmap or xmodmap or something [09:49] Does ubuntu server have a firewall turned on by default? I'm using the EC2 AMI. [09:49] hey guys.. im having to rsync to a tarball, as the destination is a NTFS fs and i want to preserve symlinks.. I was originally planning to sync the diff with rsync every 1 hour.. but now that the dest is a tarball, not sure if this is possible.. anyone know if it is and how? [09:52] joobie: not possible [09:52] joobie: a tar ball is a sequential archive (think a tape) - there is no way to do incremental updates [09:52] Hi everybody.. [09:52] unless you hadd the diffs to the end [09:53] is this an italian forum or an international one? [09:53] ahh [09:53] !it [09:53] 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) [09:53] So you have to repack it [09:53] well that sucks [09:53] marco_, #ubuntu-it for italian [09:53] (this is the first time i use xubuntu and ubuntu!:) ) [09:53] How do I force Xorg to go into a different resolution. The native Lubuntu (doubt it is lunubtu specific) screen resolution only had 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480, I know the monitor and card can go higher... but how? [09:53] how to know the version of python i have installed any command like rpm -qa [09:53] for ubuntu [09:53] thrope, got any ideas to get diffs going to a ntfs partition, preserving symlinks, etc [09:53] ? [09:53] joobie: might be better to use a disk image instead of a tarball [09:54] thrope, why? [09:54] then you mount the disk image (mount -o loop) do rsync, unmount [09:54] because it is impossible to do what you want with a tarball [09:54] what possible situation could require switching between all the automatically installed kernel upgrades? [09:54] ahh [09:55] so i can do diff's to the diskimage right? [09:55] (in grub) [09:55] when it is mounted [09:55] good idea [09:55] how can i create the disk image? [09:55] like i know how to -o loop it [09:55] not sure how to create it [09:56] .. also if i do a diskimage, do i need to define the size of the disk image when creating? [09:56] joobie: not completely sure i must admit - have a google... but I would think something like dd if=/dev/zero of=myimage (some argument to set the size I forget) [09:56] joobie: can't you just use "tar --update " instead of rsync? [09:56] i mean, then iw ould need to create the image as the same maximum usable space what i am backing up right? [09:57] then mkfs myimage with your fs of choice [09:57] llutz, im not sure [09:57] joobie: yes [09:57] joobie: tar --update appends newer files [09:57] so it would always grow [09:58] it is not doing an rsync type incremental backup [09:58] llutz, looks like that only appends, doesnt --delete if it's been removed [09:58] yea [09:59] disk image sounds good [09:59] but sounds bad, because i need to create an image of the maximum partition size that it will be [09:59] so even if there's 5MB of data, the image will be maybe gigs [10:00] you need to make it big enough to hold anything you might want [10:00] but if it is empty it should compress really well [10:00] nod [10:00] hmm this depends [10:00] so use a cheap compression like gzip -1 or something in yoru script [10:00] i recall smoething like this a while back [10:00] when a file is removed, there's still bits in there that it will backup [10:00] hello [10:01] th eonly way to make the compression good was to do like a dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/file [10:01] how to add a username from bash with -g 0 and uid 0 [10:01] to consume the free space with 0's.. then the compression would be good [10:01] given /tmp/file maxes out the free space [10:01] Kurupt: you don't want that. use sudo [10:02] is bz2 better compression than gz? [10:02] joobie: yes but it is much slower [10:02] ty [10:02] i might just use tar for this [10:02] and forget about incrementals [10:03] How do I force Xorg to go into a different resolution. The native Lubuntu (doubt it is lunubtu specific) screen resolution only had 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480, I know the monitor and card can go higher... but how? [10:03] joobie i want :) [10:03] why not? [10:04] Kurupt, want what? [10:04] Kurupt: it will break, sooner or later. i.e. some apps checking for "root" not for EUID === Asp is now known as Demael [10:05] what is load avg and how it differnt from cpu % [10:05] Kurupt: create a 2nd user, add him to "admin" group and learn to use sudo. all will be fine [10:05] how do i reverse a apt-get install (i.e. remove the package and everything instaleld because of it) ? [10:06] thers a --purge switch ibleieve [10:06] hello! [10:06] I've downloaded Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition... burned it to a usb stick and installed it on my eee T91. When i start the computer Ubuntu 10.10 starts and the view is not like the screenshots of the Netbook Edition. === franz is now known as Guest80607 [10:07] Engin: maybe sudo apt-get remove package && sudo apt-get autoremove ?? [10:07] hmm [10:07] Do i have to start or install something? [10:07] Unsafe command [10:08] seiphedias_, 1. sudo apt-get update [10:10] another question [10:10] i have a file [10:10] How do I force Xorg to go into a different resolution. The native Lubuntu (doubt it is lunubtu specific) screen resolution only had 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480, I know the monitor and card can go higher... but how? [10:10] i chmod +x file [10:10] Not all at once now :) [10:10] and when i execute i get -su: ./file2: No such file or directory [10:11] Kurupt: how do you execute it? [10:12] guys im trying to preserve everything with my tar [10:12] tar --atime-preserve -cpvzf [10:12] is that OK? [10:12] been through the man - just wnat to be sure that's the works [10:12] llutz ./file2 [10:13] whats the command to view all the keycodes from all keypresses in x11 [10:13] when I give print command I only c the message "Print job submitted" WHY CNAT I GET THE PRINTED PAPER? [10:13] thrope: xev [10:14] taran: maybe there is sme clue in the cups logs /var/log/cups/ i.e /var/log/cups/error_log [10:14] llutz: thanks [10:14] erUSUL: OK. may I past it so u can help? im a newbie [10:14] Kurupt: a shellscript? check 1st line of it === king is now known as Guest29300 [10:15] taran: i can take a look [10:15] Hello. Is there any way to install Ubuntu 10.10 on int. HDD from boot image on ext. HDD (I mean, without using CD/DVD because I don't have one)? [10:15] SergeyIT thank you for your answer! I did the sudo apt-get update... [10:16] hi [10:16] hi can i share my internet connection to other system in ubuntu [10:16] !ics > juniour [10:16] juniour, please see my private message [10:16] hmm with tar, if i do something like 'tar -cvzf /mnt/test/file.tar.gz /mnt/out' .. the tarball paths are all starting with '/mnt/out' .. how can i make it strip that /mnt/out from the prefix path in the tarball? [10:17] hello, i know this isn't #EC2 but if i have an ubuntu instance running on EC2 but my sites are slow and sluggish...php mem is upped. and cpu is okay. so i'm thinking disc. is there a nice tool out there to check disc speeds? [10:17] erUSUL: Ok please HELP me here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564897/ [10:17] ubottu how to see private message [10:17] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:18] uploads is a folder that contains many other folders in a hierarchy. now is it possible to delete all the folders called thumbs inside the uploads folder by a single command ? :) [10:18] silvery grub2 will let you do it all on the one hdd ittl boot the iso from hdd, having said that kubuntu failed this way once upon a time..... [10:19] hi can i share my internet connection to other system in ubuntu [10:20] !ics | juniour [10:20] juniour: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [10:20] taran: i do not see anythng obvious wrong... [10:20] taran: it fails from all the programas you tried printing? [10:21] iflema: thank you, it's very usefull information. Got to RTFM again)) [10:22] erUSUL: Test page fials. I did not try anything else [10:22] dr0id: find /path/to/uploads -name thumbs -type d -exec rm -r {} \; [10:22] dr0id: find uploads/ -type d -name "*thumbs*" -exec echo rm -r '{}' + [10:22] dr0id: if the output looks ok then remove the echo [10:22] hmm [10:23] dr0id: The way erUSUL gave is safer, and will also match on having "thumbs" in any part of the filename. [10:24] <_r1_> hi [10:25] taran: what model of printer is this? [10:25] i need help with my ubuntu system [10:25] i cant seem to su to root [10:25] erUSUL: HP Laser jet 1020 plus [10:25] theres a password even though i didnt set one during installation [10:26] erUSUL: Yesterday it printed test page when I checked Accept job option [10:26] taran: hp printers are the esiest to get running ... [10:26] whats the deal with that [10:26] !sudo | zewb [10:26] zewb: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [10:26] hmm [10:26] so like [10:26] zewb: ubuntu does not have a root account enabled [10:26] anyone can have root priviledges? [10:26] just by typing sudo? [10:26] or does it ask for the root password [10:26] !rootshell | zewb [10:26] zewb: Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [10:26] zewb: The password for admin tasks using sudo etc will be your user password if you were the first person set up on the system [10:26] ok so when i use sudo [10:27] zewb: sudo asks for the users password [10:27] do i put in the root password or my password [10:27] ok [10:27] well thats kind of weird [10:27] zewb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:27] <_r1_> I'm running a Microsoft Windows in a virtual machine via virtualbox-ose Maverick packaged. That's very slow and I have noticed that even if I check "enable VT" on the VM config, the VT extensions aren't used in the VM. Any clue? (VT extensions are available in /proc/cpuinfo) [10:27] zewb: there is no root password [10:27] zewb: by default it only enables sudo for the user account you create during installation. [10:27] what is the your choice for a (business) calender programm with a gui? have a small linux administration business.. setting up linux and stuff :) [10:27] so all someone has to do is get my user password and they can have root access? [10:27] zewb: you can give other users sudo access, or access to only restricted commands. [10:27] wouldnt it be safer to have a password for users and a password for root? [10:28] zewb: so all someone has to do is get roots password and they can have root accesss? [10:28] well at least without sudo they need 2 passwords [10:28] zewb: how is any difference in getting your password or root's?? [10:28] one to ssh in, because i dont permit root login from remote [10:28] erUSUL, well if you have the root pw you can login as root [10:28] and then another to get root priviledges [10:28] zewb: yes. you can configure sudo to use another users password, for example I have seen people create the user "janitor" and the password for that account is required to sudo, not the users password, but the user still needs to be specified in /etc/sudoers. [10:29] that seems kind of silly though [10:29] can I ask for help? [10:29] have there been any security exploits in sudo? [10:29] !ask | lithiar [10:29] lithiar: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [10:29] erUSUL: I have got the log of print troubleshoting here which will certainly help http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564900/ [10:29] lithiar, yes everyone can :) [10:29] thanx! well I've got troubles with my graphic card [10:30] lithiar, still not a question ... :-) [10:30] im finding a lot of vulnerabilites for sudo on seclists [10:30] lithiar, pls discribe your problem as well as you can, then sbd will help you [10:30] 564902 i got error! need help! [10:30] lol germanporn xD [10:30] i think i would like to disable it [10:30] i like germanporn too :D [10:30] and just stick with the traditional unix way [10:30] yes, I'm trying to phrase it properly [10:30] silvery /etc/grub.d/40_custom sudo update-grub in terminal when done. using something like --> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564901/ [10:30] taran: i do not see anything new... try to remove the printer and add it again in System>Admin ...>Printers [10:30] can someone tell me how to set a root password [10:30] and remove sudo [10:30] Please help me troubleshot printing problems here http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564900/ [10:30] taran: also try to install the hplip tools [10:30] bluenemo, ;-) [10:30] zewb: not supported here [10:30] I need to configure a headless server to call home via PPTP, the howtos that I find are all GUI based - any suggestions please :) [10:30] zewb, as root: apt-get purge sudo && passwd root [10:31] zewb: I don't know of any open security issues in sudo for now, as long as you keep your packages up to date, you should be safe for the most part. [10:31] taran: delete printer and use "sudo hp-setup" then to install it again [10:31] zewb, sudo passwd root [10:31] bluenemo: please don't [10:31] zewb: why do you want to remove sudo? [10:31] bluenemo: i can't so to root [10:31] iflema: many thanks! [10:31] bluenemo: i can't *su to root [10:31] silvery and it didnt wrap =) [10:31] then use sudo su [10:31] but then better dont remove sudo :P [10:31] hey [10:31] hello... i downloaded from repos gnome-shell... is it possible to have it as an option, in the login screen??? [10:31] can you suggest some ssh utility to keep the list of my recently accessed usernames@hosts? [10:31] leave sudo there. its cool [10:31] no [10:31] i dont like it [10:32] terminal one [10:32] its had a lot of vulnerabilities [10:32] what can i do? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564902 [10:32] <_skpl> hello. [10:32] zewb: such as? [10:32] i dont want my server to get rooted [10:32] zewb: the linux kernel has had security issues in the past as well, going to remove that too? [10:32] tsimpson: sudo vulnerability [10:32] if you remove sudo, it'll be more likely to get rooted [10:32] tsimpson: google that [10:32] well I experience some sort of graphic corruction, it starts as a bad font and then all the display is affected [10:32] well then kill it with apt-get purge sudo... then look if root has a pw in /etc/shadow [10:32] http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=sudo+exploits#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=sudo+vulnerability&cp=7&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=0&aqi=&aql=&oq=sudo+vu&pbx=1&bav=on.1,or.&fp=8dfe5727866dfbaf [10:32] zewb: use a distro that do not use sudo by default ( all of the other ones ) [10:32] well i dont really want to reinstall linux [10:32] also.. gnome-shell --replace keeps gnome-shell as default wm, or in the next login it will have gnome?? ( i am not testing it because of *fear* of sth happening) [10:33] i would rather just get the root account enabled [10:33] how do i do that [10:33] zewb: have you checked if any of the vulnerabilities you see actually exist? [10:33] zewb, you can backup your home folder and so keep all your settings. if your into security, use debian lenny [10:33] tsimpson: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=sudo+exploits#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=sudo+vulnerability&cp=7&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=0&aqi=&aql=&oq=sudo+vu&pbx=1&bav=on.1,or.&fp=8dfe5727866dfbaf [10:33] they are listed on ubuntu.com [10:33] zewb: bluenemo we do not support enabling the root password account in this channel [10:33] zewb: that's not an answer to my question [10:33] of course they are real [10:33] zewb: or if any of the vulnerabilities are in the current version? [10:33] zewb: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:33] zewb: do they _still_ exist [10:33] erUSUL, ah ok.. [10:33] tsimpson: no but they could in a future update [10:34] so its something i constantly have to worry about [10:34] and it makes more sense to just take it out of the equation [10:34] zewb: and how many people have access to your system? [10:34] zewb: better shut off your computer then, because anything, even the linux kernel, could have a security flaw in the future. [10:34] zewb: and do you have ssh/telnet servers installed? [10:34] gonna turn my junker PC into a ubuntu box(well basically only the mobo blew out). I was wondering if there was a recommended lga 775 mobo that would work best with ubuntu? [10:34] i know it's my fault that i upgraded but i had reason, because i wanted to dump nvidia and go nouveau === dandaman2 is now known as dandaman1 [10:35] so help, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/564902 [10:35] tsimpson: yeah [10:35] my point is [10:35] sudo is a bad idea [10:35] zewb: if you have ssh or any remote login means, sudo is protection because people can not brute-force the root password [10:35] and i dont want to use it [10:35] dandaman2: MB are all quite compatible. problems are in other kind of hardware ( graphic card; wifi; webcam ...) [10:36] so, no, it's not a bad idea to use sudo [10:36] no no sudo is as safe === sirneo is now known as SirNeo [10:36] zewb: « sudo is a bad idea » care to back that up with some reasoning? [10:36] you can also redo sudo to require both a SU password and a user [10:36] zewb: or we have to accept your word ? [10:36] but really just require users in sudoers to change passwords often [10:36] zewb: by default, only the user that you create during installation is configured to use sudo, you would have to add other accounts to it for them to be able to use it. [10:37] erUSUL: well i plan on using the onboard GFX card :\ [10:37] you can also limit the logon times in config file for things like sshd to halt any brute-force [10:37] dandaman1: get intel [10:37] onboard network card also(wont be needing wifi i dont think) [10:37] sudo is just like runas in windows [10:37] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131629 [10:37] i was thinking that [10:37] runas admin [10:38] but linux is more secure [10:38] looks like an extremely good lga 775 board, even supports ddr3 [10:38] zewb: I'm not sure reconfiguring ubuntu to work without sudo worth the trouble. You will get less flexible setup, with some probability to actually make your security worse during such reconfiguration [10:38] zewb: first thing sudo is safer. with root account enabled i only have to guess your password with sudo i have to guess your login name *and* your password [10:38] well I experience some sort of graphic corruction, it starts as a bad font and then all the display is affected, I've got an ATI RS960M, what am I supposed to do to fix it? [10:38] zewb no just change passwords: limit SSHD to only users with say 30 second logon time frame [10:38] problem solved [10:39] zewb: second; every sudo invocation/attemp is logged in auth.log better traceability/accounting. root logins? no luck. [10:39] yes exactly good point erusul [10:40] zewb: sudo is protection for your system, just because there have been vulnerabilities discovered in the past does not mean it is not secure. many vulnerabilities have been discovered in PAM in the past, are you going to remove that too? what about the vulnerabilities in the kernel? does that mean that you should remove that? [10:40] yep good security requires some work [10:40] * itguru wonders what happened? [10:40] zewb: so now tell us exactly how is sudo « a bad idea » ? [10:40] Is this room logged, can I check in case someone answered me while I was disconnected? [10:41] !logs | itguru [10:41] itguru: Official channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ .

[11:53] Its better to use SSH not FTP these days. oxodesign [11:54] oxodesign: a better idea would be to set up the ftpuser as a normal user, then set apache to use a folder in the /home/ftpuser directory as the www base dir [11:54] taran: looks like you can add the password and user to the apt-get config file as Acquire::http::Proxy "http://MYDOMAIN\MYNAME:MYPASS@MY.PROXY.COM:MYPORT" [11:54] dr_Willis really?

I wanna use xsplash, but I can't get rid of plymouth(looks like it's part of core), any help? Thanks (10.10) [12:17] jenka: Is it the WebKit that you need info on? [12:17] that's why i'm looking for the shortcut to lauch the terminal, to solve the problem [12:18] jazzz: ok, alt+f2 [12:18] alt+f2 is not working [12:18] how i configure racoon for nat transversal [12:18] maybe because nautilus is not running? [12:18] tal: why do you say "looks like it's part of core"? [12:19] i have a configuration righ now, and is working, but when i start racoon, i can't see someting like this INFO: 192.168.1.100[4500] used as isakmp port (fd=6) [12:19] any idea? [12:19] jrib: Because if I remove it, apt wants to also remove a whole lot of other essential stuff, like alsa and gdm and all that. [12:20] jazzz: ctrl+alt+f for a virtual terminal [12:20] i try [12:20] jazzz: ctrl+alt+f2 for a virtual terminal [12:20] jenka: May be here> http://www.citadel.org/doku.php/doku.php?id=faq:start [12:21] not working [12:21] tal: I see. Did you attempt just installing xsplash and then reading the documentation (especially if the maintainer included a README in /usr/share/doc/xsplash)? [12:21] gnewb: Ok look at it :) thank you [12:21] not working either [12:22] jenka: You are welcome, that looks like the How To on everything about that. [12:22] I have a little question: which systems can deny the load of kernel modules? modprobe gives an error: Error inserting ... : Operation not permitted. I'm root. CONFIG_MODULES is yes. Module and kernel version are the same. selinux is not installed. apparmor not configured. Any ideas? [12:22] it's on xfce ok? [12:23] Yeah, but I can't seem to use it. Plymouth won't change from default. [12:24] tal: is there a particular reason you want to use xsplash over plymouth? [12:24] jazzz, do you have gnome installed [12:24] what can i do? [12:24] isn't it xfce instead of gnome? [12:24] Hello. I am in need of sound converter that could output RIFF/WAve in LPCM 8bit mono ie conversion tool where i got really good control on output. Could anyone suggest anything? [12:24] uhh, stupid question, but if I wanted to enable telnet in on a ubuntu 8.10 server what would i do, more specificly, what program takes care of that, because I want to research how to set it up for a specific reason.

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [12:25] why does not linux headers files update automatically on one system where as on an other system they do, with out those my nvidia driver fails at restart [12:25] Hey guys, suppose I have a printer and a number of jpg files. Is there a terminal command to quickly print all of them using wildcards? [12:25] edwardteach isn't it gnome or kde or xfce? === WamPIRe__ is now known as WamPIRe-- [12:26] do i make a mistake? [12:26] YouKay: lp or lpr [12:26] Yeah, Plymouth doesn't seem to work well with nvidia cards. (I get text mode on the splash screen). Also, I just like xsplash better. [12:26] sagaci, well i doubt the program has changed from 8.10 to what ever version your on now. I was just wanting a program name to research for ubuntu. [12:26] i think it's xfce here [12:26] erUSUL: Oh! Should have realized it, thanks [12:26] It has more options [12:27] any one using nut to monitor usb ups, I am having trouble with belkin model, [12:27] razz11: did you install nvida direct from the nvidea site? if so it might not have been registered in packages to upgrade or update === Doreida is now known as KIRABOSHI [12:27] nice flash game==>http://plutokeongv.mybrute.com [12:27] jazzz, have you tried alt ctl t for terminal [12:28] y [12:28] not working [12:28] how to run testusb.c?

[12:29] surya: you don't run .c, you compile it [12:29] I have an iPad with a VNC app. It can connect via an SSH tunnel, however when I try to connect to with VNC over SSH, it says "connection refused" do I have to "enable" tunneling on my Ubuntu? [12:29] Like making a cake [12:29] sacarlson: a year ago, i was having trouble with the driver, played around with different versions. it might have caused some issues. how do register it to update the header files when ever there is a new kernel update [12:30] bye [12:30] th0r: yaa i compiled testusb.c [12:30] Well done [12:30] cba123: can you post the command you use to connect [12:31] cba123: what vnc server are you trying to connect to? [12:32] razz11, that's partly the issue. It's an app, it does the command without showing me. I can SSH in through, with an SSH app. I installed x11vnc after googling around a bit. [12:33] razz11: I'm not sure I did as you and at the time I needed the nvidea versions direct from the nvidea site and I have the same problem at update and upgrade time, my solution is don't update or upgrade unless needed, if the System>administration>Hardware driver worked then maybe no problem? [12:33] Actually, I think I might have part of the problem. It has an option for VNC IP and SSH IP. If I'm tunneling, wouldn't my VNC IP be 127.0.0.1, or at least my local ip? [12:34] th0r: u know how to compile testusb.c [12:34] razz11, Actually, I think I might have part of the problem. It has an option for VNC IP and SSH IP. If I'm tunneling, wouldn't my VNC IP be 127.0.0.1, or at least my local ip? (forgot to put your name at the front) [12:34] cba123: so did you set up the x11vncrc file, yes it has to be 127.0.0.1 [12:34] razz11, No, thought it setup partly itself. I'll look up how to do that. === catalyst is now known as Guest53698 === dude is now known as spetrea-home [12:36] how to test the usb on linux [12:36] surya: test? maybe lsusb [12:37] cba123: what I do is i ssh first and run x11vnc then if successful it will show that it is listening on port 5900, my suggestion is to try vinagre first, its easy to setup. and always use pub key encryption for ssh, if you just use password, check your logs to see how many attempts are made on port 22, hope its not 22, but its not a good idea [12:37] yaa i did lsusb i got the usb devices? [12:37] surya: I guess to test a usb device would depend on what device it is, === rasuljon is now known as KREDO [12:37] how can I check what modules are installed on apache? === evilvish is now known as vish [12:38] surya: yes lsusb give a list of all that is seen on the usb buss [12:39] sacarlson, yaa but i am unable to test pendrive [12:39] sacarlson: workaround is to install the header files manually with the kernel update [12:39] sacarlson: was trying to find a permanent solution [12:39] i am testing gadget device from usbtest driver? [12:40] Guten Tag. [12:40] razz11, isn't vinagre a viewer? I need something to connect to. I did x11vnc, and ran it. I can see my screen on my iPad now, but I can't modify anything.

[12:46] cba123: you can also just use the command line switches with the x11vnc, and vino is the server, pretty crap but easy to setup. see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1547773&highlight=987a654, x11vnc maintainer helped me [12:46] hi, i want to setup a virtual host on my localhost, can someone point me to a tutorial? [12:47] hey i was wondering. is it possible to use packet filtering and altQ with ubuntu [12:47] i see pfctl pf and altq in the ubuntu man pages [12:47] but i cant seem to find pf [12:47] please tell me it is so [12:47] cba123: do you use pub keys [12:48] sacarlson, ru there? [12:48] cba123: if not go with hamachi, way easy, but if you need top security, i guess ssh with pub-private key setup [12:51] sacralson, tell how to test my pen drive. if i am testing it is giving below error ( Inappropriate ioctl for device ) [12:51] hey [12:52] i was wondering if i can get some help with my wifi [12:52] what is wrong with your wifi [12:53] can someone please tell me if this is possible on ubuntu 10.10 http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/pf.4.html [12:53] ???? [12:53] i just installed ubuntu then freebsd 8.1 amd64 then debian-kfreebsd and now im back on ubuntu [12:53] hey any one knows regarding usbtest on Linux [12:53] well basically i installed the drivers it worked fine for about 2 minutes [12:53] (i have my reasons) [12:53] and then it stopped working and now it wont connect [12:54] what sort of wifi do you have..is it a dongle? [12:54] c4pt: have a look at iptables for packet filtering. "man iptables" is pretty comprehensive. [12:54] no its built into my laptop [12:54] surya: I looked at it but never got it to work, so what's wrong with just a go/ nogo test with write an image to the usb flash and check it's ok? [12:55] sipior, yeah but i like the layout of pf.conf :/ [12:55] c4pt: life is hard sometimes. [12:55] what is your laptop model?? [12:55] lol [12:55] surya: other method I guess would put patterns into the device with the dd command and compare the output of the dd dump [12:56] Im trying to add a font on a ubuntu server to be picked up by my style.css in drupal for a headline on a webpage, but it does not find it.. [12:56] c4pt: if you really want pf, best just to run bsd. [12:56] Is there somewhere to see what fonts ive got installed [12:56] its a dell pp33l [12:57] while trying to build libaxis used for eucalyptus i get such errors.. http://pastie.org/1544704 [12:57] any ideas guys ? [12:57] its kinda important so would be grateful to get some leads on this. [12:57] sacarlson, ok yaa i will try it. thanks for ur suggestion? but what is the meaning of: inappropiate ioctl for device [12:58] can i use remote desktop viewer to copy to and from my desktop with my laptop? [12:58] rkhshm1: this is...an ubuntu system? [12:58] knxville: what i do is make a folder ~/.fonts and drop them in there, your mileage may vary [12:58] surya: not sure what ioctl problem is, but did you see these links http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newbie/172669-testusb-test-application.html [12:58] rkhshm1: i'm guessing no...

[12:59] /join #nvidia [12:59] sipior: but since eucalyptus is ported for ubuntu i thought i'll ask here [12:59] rkhshm1: best to talk to the folks who wrote the software. [12:59] bc81 thanks for the info [13:00] rkhshm1: #ubuntu-server would probably be a better place [13:00] sipior: you know if they have an IRC channel [13:00] oh. i see..

I missed that. [13:01] cause I haven't got the permission [13:02] razz11, I don't really know what a pub key is, apart from the obvious english meaning.

[13:38] i will check it how to use md5sum [13:38] surya: try man md5sum [13:38] BluesKaj, yeah but my update manager will aways pop up with the packages to install them [13:38] ok thanks yaa [13:38] i will check it [13:39] irc client for emacs?? ewww [13:40] looking for an xz expert... [13:41] hdtdi, the update manager is a pita , I just remove it ..run your updates/upgrades in apt in the console instead , it's cleaner and less clunky [13:41] hey mario === p is now known as Guest812 [13:44] hi, i have a problem with my ubuntu 10.10. i installed it yesterday with netinstall but my graphiccard in my laptop is not working. after booting i hear the loginsound but always get a black screen. i use a nvida 8400gs.. some logs are here: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/keine-grafik-nur-booten-im-failsafe-moeglich/ i tried to boot mith nomodeset but this results in a blank screen. in failsafe i can use the failsafex mode in low graphic [13:44] s. [13:45] irc://Burstfire.UK.EU.GameSurge.net [13:45] When I pipe output to grep, it highlights in red the requested text. Is there a command that will do this same behaviour but not remove any lines? ifconfig | highlight 192.168 [13:45] sacarlson, i type md5sum -b in terminal .. i am getting no output only cursor is blinking [13:45] or something like that? [13:47] surya: just type md5sum nameofyourimagefile [13:47] surya: it will return a hex checksum of the file you give it [13:49] is there a way to shut off the "suspend" or "shut down" option on a lapptop when the lid is closed? ubuntu 10.10 64bit === Hydriz is now known as TestingBot [13:49] surya: pick a big file like 700meg or the whatever you plan to put on your disk like ubuntu.iso file, do md5sum ubuntu.iso, copy the ubuntu.iso file to the usb flash and repeat the test with the path now to the usb flash file copy, compare results === TestingBot is now known as Hydriz [13:52] david506: use grep with -C ( or -A and -B options ) ?

Or you can hack something together with sed. Why do you want to do this? [13:54] hi [13:54] sacarlson, thanks yarr its working fine [13:54] any buddy there [13:54] For example, when running ngrep or tcpdump, I pipe into tee to have a file copy, and I want to highlight specifc strings that are important [13:55] -C25 will work for my needs for now. Thanks :) [13:55] If I want to check a hard drive for errors, and I don't care about existing data on it -- should I just use badblocks in write-mode? [13:55] hi, is it how it supposed to work, if install nvidia-current xserver-xorg* will be gone? [13:55] sacarlson, but my boss asking binary files for usbtest for testing of reliance set-up box [13:56] bc81 does this allow an option box to come up so i can change back when needed? [13:56] can any tell me that which is better fedora of ubantu [13:56] ..? [13:56] sandeepchoubey: try both and use the one you like better [13:57] ubuntu for desktop and fedora for enterprise [13:57] sandeepchoubey, i prefer ubuntu more since 10.10 was released, and i'm superexcited about 11.04 [13:57] sacarslon, however it is working fine i am happy i will explain to my boss. this md5sum process is it ok. means i am happy? [13:57] thanks yarr? [13:58] my problem nouveau refusing to accept xorg.conf and nvidia is not saying anything just hangs on boot, i can't what error messages because X is no longer exists [13:58] sacarlson, ok yaa i am leaving tomorro we will meet u? [13:58] RickJames: the setting is in System >> Preferences >> Power Management, stored in gconf-editor: /apps/gnome-power-manager/buttons/lid_ac/ if you want to change it, simply replace "nothing" in the command i gave you with either, "suspend", "hibernate", or "blank" [13:58] bye good night? [13:59] i can't see any messages when going with nvidia [13:59] bc81, i realize my question was a n00nb one, but when i was looking there to begin with all i found was suspend and hibernate and shut down. [14:00] also tried nvidia installer from source nvidia-current it fails too [14:01] RickJames: the ubuntu higher-ups think we're too dumb to have direct access to certain features, so they hide them from us. [14:01] if I installed using "encypt home folder", can I easily change that to just a "private" folder instead? [14:02] long range zip ftw!

[14:16] ActionParsnip: well, all i did was stop the music, close rhythmbox, reopen rhythmbox and it was ok. [14:16] gpc, i just installed ubuntu-restricted -extras. i still cannot play a mov file [14:16] DaGeek247: frustration from your anwers [14:17] ActionParsnip, restarting rhythmbox got the audio back fro that, but the web player was still fuzzy, just both sources, flash in chromium playback from grooveshark.com and rhythmbox both went fuzzy at the same moment. [14:17] f it, I'll just reinstall with gentoo [14:17] restarting browser got it working again too.. [14:17] weird.. [14:17] dumbus ok. how wuld these questions help you? [14:17] NET||abuse: thats a little creepy to me that we had the same problem..how longago did this happen to you? [14:18] <[Sou|Raven]> is it normal to have on logs from racoon DEBUG: compression algorithm can not be checked because sadb message doesn't support it. [14:18] because i thought it was just my laptop acting up, so i was slapping it around lol [14:18] DaGeek247: well not much with such answers [14:18] NET||abuse: strange, if sound is bad from many apps then i doubt it's the one app but the sound system or somesuch [14:18] How to add new python modules like tweepy to nokia N-73?

[14:19] arbaz: What does this have to do with Ubuntu? [14:19] dumbus what were you hoping for? [14:19] arbaz: is the N73 running ubuntu? [14:19] bc81, just happened last 5 minutes [14:19] DaGeek247: for help ofcourse [14:19] no it just is able to run python scripts [14:20] NET||abuse: can i pm you?

[14:20] bc81, sure. [14:20] this might be a little of a stupid question, but I don't seem to be able to get a folder to be able to be shared via a virtualbox from windows to ubuntu..any ideas on what needs to be done? [14:20] arbaz: Well this channel is only for Ubuntu support. If this is running linux, then ##linux would be more on-topic. [14:20] arbaz: this is Ubuntu support only [14:20] arbaz: try #python too (maybe) [14:20] thanks [14:21] erUSUL, thanks m8 [14:21] mrexen #vbox shuld be able to help you. [14:21] mrexen: is windows the host or guest? [14:22] windows is host [14:22] windows 7 [14:23] running virtual box 3 [14:23] latest version of the 3 [14:23] im running pure ubuntu, and messed up help [14:23] mrexen: if you share the folders in the guest config, it shows the mount command you need in Ubuntu [14:24] thanks erUSUL, I just needed a little push to do it myself... [14:24] ActionParsnip, my webpages seem rather slow to load and I have the dns set to the google dns IP, does this setting ahve to be duped in /etc/resolv.conf or is the dns router setting sufficient? [14:24] it's done now [14:24] you mean in the host config ActionParsnip? [14:24] * mrexen confused [14:24] xyclo_: ? did you find out what was wrong ? [14:25] xyclo_: wrong uuid? or you needed rootdelay ? [14:25] oh, so tick the guest tickbox? [14:25] rootdelay fixed it [14:25] xyclo_: ok; special setup? raid card or something? [14:26] not really... i wonder. [14:26] mrexen: when you setup the folders to be shared with the guest it shows the command structure. If you bridge the virtual network card so it shows on you LAN you can access shared folders in Windows like an extra computer on the LAN. [14:27] yeah, they're not showing up on network folder in windows explorer [14:27] xyclo_: very slow disk? check smart status System>Admin...>disk utility [14:27] BluesKaj: if you set the DNS IP in network manager, it will create resolv.conf for you [14:27] just the original windows computer's name is showing up in network folder ActionParsnip [14:27] says healthy [14:28] where can I see speed? [14:28] 5400rpm... no [14:28] BluesKaj: if you install and configure dnsmasq, you can have a local DNS cache on the PC and not have to use the web for EVERY resolution [14:28] xyclo_: in a laptop yes [14:28] yes what? [14:28] I chose the 5400 for quietness... [14:29] so a 7200 would not give the error? [14:29] xyclo_: laptops use still 5400rpm desktop are usually 7200 [14:29] mrexen: do you share folders on the host system in the normal windows share way? === WamPIRe-- is now known as wampire__ [14:29] ive seen 'green' desktop hd's that are 5400. [14:29] ActionParsnip: nope [14:29] xyclo_: really dunno; you can test both speeds without the rootdealy option and find out [14:29] ActionParsnip: does this mean I need to reboot my windows system? [14:29] yep [14:30] well, thanks again [14:30] I [14:30] I'm off now [14:30] xyclo_: no problem [14:31] hi guys, i am still unable to play my mov file after installing ubuntu-restricted-extras package. please advise. [14:31] ActionParsnip: nevermind, I just had to wait a couple of minutes of constant refreshing for it to show up [14:31] mrexen: cool [14:31] Zeu5, whats the file extenion? [14:31] must've been the virtualbox using a lot of processor/bandwidth [14:32] err memory [14:32] AbhijiT, mov [14:32] mrexen: yeah it does chew the cpu [14:32] Zeu5, try opening with vlc [14:32] No suitable decoder module: [14:32] VLC does not support the audio or video format "WMV3". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. [14:32] Zeu5: you may need to install the w32codecs from medibuntu repo [14:32] Has anybody ever set up a radius server on ubuntu?

[14:35] ActionParsnip: now I double click the ubuntu's computer name in windows explorer --> network and it says the computer doesn't exist? [14:35] Dr_Willis, mplayer is movie player yes? [14:35] modules here are python modules [14:35] Zeu5, use soem arista transcoder or mobile media convertor [14:35] and .sis is a mobile app installer [14:35] AbhijiT, can you give me just 1 choice?

[14:38] Zeu5: you missed one of the steps on the medibuntu install/setup guide. [14:38] serialized: i doubt if that will make it more stable. [14:38] Zeu5: if you already have medibuntu use winff or ffmpeg directly to trascode the file [14:38] whys that? [14:38] Dr_Willis, which step i missed?

Can you help me with editing the xorg.conf? [15:09] What is the site you use for terminal clip links? I will post what I have in my xorg [15:11] I need help with a USB hard drive. I had it formatted as WBFS, for my wii. [15:11] MrMintanet01: its a VERY complex file, if you hunt for examples you can use them or sections to try. Its very much a trial and error thing. If you use an nvidia video chip, you can generate anxorg.conf [15:11] I use ATI [15:11] Then i tried to format to FAT in windows, but it failed [15:11] hi guys, can anyone see whats going wrong here. I've got a list of names of files in a file, so I was doing this: cat /backup/FoundTimeSheets/JobLists/38123 | while read FILENAME; do find /timesheets -iname $FILENAME* | xargs -I% cp "%" /backup/FoundTimeSheets/38123/09-02-2011/$FILENAME; done [15:12] but it doesn't appear to be working.

[15:36] i should forward the requests from the external pc to my pc on the internal network [15:36] either remote control a desktop, or vpn [15:36] hi, how do i find out my microphones device name? [15:36] joris__: you will need to port forward in your router. If you are wanting to VNC then use an SSH tunnel [15:37] hey all, cannot seem to get ubuntu to 'see' my esata drive. [15:37] how can i reinstall a package with theirs configuration files? [15:37] skrite: when you attach the device, wait 10 seconds then run: dmesg | tail does the kernel show a reaction to the device [15:38] skrite, if you use the command fdisk -l, it doesnt show up? [15:38] nona: sudo apt-get --reinstall install packagename [15:38] skrite you can go to system>administration>disk utility and there u should be able to mount it properly [15:38] compdoc: fdisk needs sudo to work [15:38] if I have XP then Windows 7 and put Ubuntu on same disk (empty partition) will it ruin XP or 7 ? [15:38] compdoc: fdisk -l without sudo outputs nothing [15:39] PL-1: not at all [15:39] great- going to make the move to ubuntu today. [15:39] ActionParsnip; will that also allow me to access services that are on (my) pc? i don't want to acces my desktop, i want to access a service from my pc outside of the internal network (eg. a webserver) [15:39] i think vnc is to access the desktop? [15:39] yes [15:39] PL-1, no , ubuntu will side by side with your other OSs [15:39] joris__: sure you just forward the port on the router to the port on the serving pc [15:39] ActionParsnip, thanls [15:39] ActionParsnip, dmesg | tail isn't showing anything. neither when i tail /var/log/messages [15:39] do I need a physical disk to install ubunut ? or can I load it up from win with Daemon tools ? I am thinking I need to burn a disk [15:39] ActionParsnip, thanks [15:39] PL-1:you cant have ubuntu nd windows on same m/c because ubuntu's root is in ext3 format s [15:40] georgie - oh ? what's this ? [15:40] same drive you mean ? [15:40] ActionParsnip, how can i remove a package with theirs configuration files? [15:40] compdoc, when i run fdisk -l i get cannot seek on /dev/sde ( i think that is because i am using a RAM PCI card as a hard drive ) [15:40] well in the same drive they both have to be in different partitions [15:40] PL-1: you can install it that way, which will use wubi and not be in the empty partition. you will need to boot a CD or USB stick. I also suggest you unpartition the space you want to install to so it is clear where the install will go [15:40] hello. is it possible to make a bash script to connect and login to ssh server? [15:40] georgie- you mean you can't do triple boot ? XP/7/Ubuntu ? [15:41] PL-1, make sure create a a small swap file too a bit larger than then your ram [15:41] nona: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename [15:41] PL-1: you can also use unetbootin to create a bootable usb drive [15:41] ok. [15:41] ActionParsnip, thanks [15:41] ActionParsnip ok thanks, i'm going to try something like that:) [15:41] you can as long as they are put into their respective partions [15:41] PL-1: remember you can only have 4 primary partitions on a drive, so you may need to make an extended partition and then make logical partitions therin [15:41] skrite, in the bios, is esata enabled? does your motherboard have an esata port, or does it just have a connector that goes to a sata port? [15:42] joris__: if you set the server to a static IP it will mean the DHCP lease expiration will not sever the link [15:42] Action Parsnip is right ,keep in mind not to make more than 3 partions nd try installin the ubuntu in primary [15:42] is there an interface for setting up samba shares on 10.10? [15:42] compdoc, well, i have not checked in the bios, but the esata port is on the motherboard. [15:43] compdoc, let me reboot and check bios, back in a bit. [15:43] skrite, well, connect the drive and see if the bios sees the drive [15:44] compdoc, the bios should see it before boot? [15:44] I would think so [15:44] ok, will check now [15:44] well nebody knows y, i'm getting E212 permission error when i launch gvim using keyboard shortcut but it works fine if i do so from menu [15:44] thrope, open nautilus / network [15:44] georgie_b: apparently not, or they would have replied [15:44] ActionParsnip: the server has idd a static ip, i'm not familiar with ssh-port forwarding, but i'm now reading the ubuntu documentation about it, let's hope i get it working:) [15:45] hello. is it possible to make a bash script to connect and login to ssh server? [15:45] how do i find out my microphones device name? [15:45] joris__: default is port 22 TCP, you will need to read your router manual as the config varies wildly from model to model [15:45] in the old dos to inscer special chars you would do alt + (0-254)... [15:45] how do u do the same in ubuntu (if possible) [15:46] *insert [15:46] !ping [15:46] ping-pong, a fun game for all the family [15:46] !ping [15:47] Is there a way to sort files asciibetically? i.e. A-Z before a-z?

[16:21] needhelp1, it's possible the device is hosed, does it work in windows? if it's not unmounted correctly sometimes it does funky things, you might have to unplug it and plug it back it, unplug -- lsusb, plug it in--lsusb - then see if the device is listed [16:22] vish: alright, so it doesn't appear in lucid-backports. So, my recourse is to go through a bug report/SRU process? [16:23] netzapper: yup.. [16:23] vish: and, if I'm reading this correctly, I need to actually build the fixed package? [16:23] Hi [16:23] tucemiux, found it [16:24] its listed as sunplus [16:24] netzapper: not necessarily *you*, but someone has to.. [16:24] Hmm, i really can't find the binary/script that list all init.d script that will be started at system start, anyone know [16:24] tucemiux, which i think is the enclosure [16:24] Fucking geek [16:24] !language | skooll [16:24] skooll: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [16:25] tucemiux, its listed as Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1bcf:0c31 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc. [16:25] vish: I see. So, it's not as if I can just send in a bug report and Canonical will assign resources to fixing it. I've got to either do it myself, track down the original package maintainer and talk him/her into it, or talk the upstream devs into building a package? === Guest40518 is now known as Jackneill [16:26] netzapper: yes, btw, what app are you talking about? [16:26] vish: it's pacemaker/corosync. It's clustering software. [16:26] hey folks, on ubuntu 10.10 I'm getting fantastically crappy video recording with my webcam [16:26] even if i turn the framerate down to 12 [16:26] needhelp1, right! So you know the device is being detected, it should be automatically mounted, typically it gets mounted and you can see it on the GUI, if not you can manually check "/media", if you do it on the command line is gets mounted with a funky number, something like /media/1FSDF234ASDF [16:26] any ideas? [16:27] hypatia: how are you setting the framerate? and what does "crappy" refer to? [16:27] tucemiux, to check /media do i do .. cd /media ? [16:27] hi. has anyone been able to install 10.10-alternate from a USB key? or any alternate version for that matter? [16:27] they have problems. [16:27] needhelp1, anyone you like - that will work, also: ls -la /media [16:28] vish: i set the framerate in guvcview, which is where i also tried recording. crappy = video and audio both stuttering, at different rates [16:28] hi, i have a service which i can access on a server with localhost:5000 [16:28] but i want to access it from the outside, where should i set this? [16:28] so i can access it from the outside? [16:28] <84XABPN8M> Wich service Joris__? [16:28] tucemiux, would the fiesystem matter ? [16:29] tucemiux, unsupported file system? [16:29] @joris: open the firewall === DarkStar1_ is now known as DarkStar1 [16:29] needhelp1, is the USB device formatted?? is it brand new or have you used it before? [16:29] hypatia: hmm, i havent tried guvcview … but did you happen to try recording with cheese and is it the same problem there? [16:29] tucemiux, ls /media only shows my one drive, and not the enclosure [16:29] tucemiux, its out of a ps3 [16:29] 84XABPN8M a general game server (a tcp connection) [16:30] needhelp1, you need to be **specific** with your question, you just wasted 10 minutes of my time [16:30] InputOutput if i just make shure port 5000 is open, it should work then? ok, thanks i'm going to try that:) [16:30] tucemiux, im sorry [16:30] tucemiux, did i do something wrong?

[16:32] hi everyone [16:32] I recently had to reinstall Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Server on my home server, but before that I loaded setup defaults in BIOS. By doing this the hard drive controller setting was made IDE. So I reinstalled the operating system in IDE mode and I was wondering if switching to AHCI would affect it? I know that Windows doesn't like if you do that and it will not boot. How would Ubuntu react? How would [16:32] it affect the operating system and the system performance? [16:32] birrbert: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:32] can anyone help me with accessing a ps3 hard drive on ubuntu via a enclosure [16:32] hypatia: oh! what hardware is this? is it a netbook by any chance? [16:32] vish: this is on a pretty recent machine - core2duo, supported intel graphics, 4gb ram [16:32] maybe i need to turn off compiz [16:32] you sure I should burn at lowest...??? and brasero or K3B [16:32] pretty sure Ps3 format is FAT [16:32] hypatia: sorry, no clue then.. [16:33] halpbatman: fat can only handle 4GB files so i dont think its using FAT [16:33] hypatia: i have the same trouble with cheese for video recording from my webcam. it catches one frame every few seconds :( [16:33] !firewall [16:33] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [16:33] I use Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Server and I was wondering if switching from IDE to AHCI in the BIOS would affect the system? I know that Windows doesn't like if you do that and it will not boot. How would Ubuntu react? How would it affect the operating system and the system performance? [16:33] maco: wfm ;p [16:34] anyone have any ideas about udev system [16:34] I think ps3 is FAT32 [16:34] maco: grr [16:34] maco: it doesnt have the driver setting though, we need to install v4lucp to change the driver settings.. [16:35] ok with compiz turned off the video is smooth but now the audio is hosed [16:35] hehe [16:35] it records the audio at like 2x speed [16:35] how do i mount a drive [16:35] SO WEIRD [16:35] its like its not mounting [16:35] ice799: http://www.wikihow.com/Add-an-External-Hard-Drive-to-a-PlayStation-3 [16:35] needhelp1: using sudo? [16:35] ice799: says it's fat 32 [16:35] yeah [16:35] is their a proper fix for netbeans(and other java apps) with compiz, sometimes the windows and menu are blank [16:35] halpbatman: hm ok [16:36] please someone, could you please give me some 'help' place where i could get the correct configuration for no-ip.com on ddclient. [16:36] anyways [16:36] I'm trying to get rid of the unity launcher and make my menubar autohide [16:37] I'm using Ubuntu netbook remix [16:37] bleh, this sucks, i haven't had to reboot into windows to get something done in like a year, hehe. but i'm on a deadline :/ [16:37] back in a bit! [16:37] anyone knows hwo to do it? [16:37] i smell a troll [16:37] halpbatman, to autohide menubar, right click menubar choose properties then autohide [16:37] halpbatman: install the normal gnome desktop and customize it how you like. [16:38] g_0_0: i can't right click on the menubar at all [16:38] Dr_Willis: how do i go about doing that? [16:38] 10.10 comes with unity? [16:38] the netboook interface is locked down.. install 'ubuntu-desktop' package and use the normal gnome desktop0 [16:38] ahhh netbook, thats right [16:38] Dr_Willis: so sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [16:39] yes [16:39] it's stupid cause netbooks have less screen space.. why would you keep these stupid things locked [16:40] retoded [16:40] halpbatman: they are set to show the most desktop by default i thought. [16:40] use gnome default desktop and edit it how you want. have4 fun. [16:40] Dr_Willis: no it's by default locked [16:41] halpbatman, use gconf-editor [16:41] Dr_Willis: thx [16:41] g_0_0: I did it doesn't do anything [16:41] can either virtualbox or wine boot an existing win7 partition? [16:41] groo: vbox can but its NOT reccomended. [16:42] groo: wine cant do that, but you can use virtualbox to boot [16:42] vbox doc give HUGE warnings to not do it. [16:42] ok ty [16:42] yea, and what Dr_Willis said.. [16:42] thx all [16:43] I upgraded my ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04 recently. I am not able to enable desktop effects. How can i enable it [16:44] groo: more than the VBOX's warnings, your windows setup will start recognizing the virtualbox boot as a new different hardware and when you boot back into windows the regular way,. you'd have hardware warnings again [16:44] manohar: be siure you got the proper video card drivers installed. [16:45] Dr_Willis, it was perfectly working in 8.04 [16:46] manohar maybe need set visual effects?

I use opendns these days [17:45] hi, i have an issue with one of my server.... i had to reboot it..... but it dosen't reboot... it is locked at "starting system message bus: dbus"... have you an idea? [17:45] nemo: Which ever updates faster :-) [17:45] codemonkey1991: well, I actually also use dnscachex on my gentoo server and some local overrides, and failover to the root server [17:45] xro, failsafe? [17:45] hey I am trying to setup the i8k fan control for my dell latitude laptop and for instance when I turn the fan speed up or down it does it momentarily then resets like something else is fighting my settings. Anyone seen this before is the BIOS not letting go? [17:45] codemonkey1991: but I thought using root servers alone was rather antisocial, so opendns is first now [17:46] MrMintanet, i can explain well but try in to the setting [17:46] codemonkey1991: but if you want speed, dns cachers :) [17:46] MrMintanet01, failsafe? what do you mean? [17:46] ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/565087/ [17:46] codemonkey1991: oh. you want fast update. ok. that conflicts w/ caching ;) [17:46] Wipster, It depends very much on the BIOS. Have you even looked there? I know that my BIOS on my HP Mobile Workstation has a fan control like this. [17:46] xro, nevermind. I misread your post. [17:46] I accidentally hosed my kernel, such that grub2 cannot find it. Is there an easy way to use a live cd to install a new kernel in an existing installation? [17:46] skutr3: close any other package manager windows you are using [17:47] nemo: I do want fast updates as i dabble in DNS, but won't my OS cache for speed? [17:47] oh. hey. since I'm here. has anyone encountered problems w/ LCD brightness control in 10.04? My mom's complaining about her laptop doing that [17:47] joepa: how did you "hose" it [17:47] hello I was wondering what people use for automated network installs of ubuntu [17:47] deleted it [17:47] can someone answer me some questions about libglib package installation and its versions? [17:47] joepa: how [17:47] ikonia: apt-get purge kernel-image [17:47] MrMintanet01, I have looked and their is no fan control options at-all [17:47] ikonia: I thought I had another kernel installed [17:47] codemonkey1991: most local DNS caching is just the ARP cache. is just a few seconds. [17:47] codemonkey1991: apps have their own caches sometimes. [17:47] ikonia: but I did not [17:47] joepa: you'll need to boot from a livecd, setup your networking, chroot to your install and re apt-get the kernel image [17:47] ikonia: so there's no kernel in /boot now [17:47] codemonkey1991: I set my dns cache to like 2 weeks - I rarely have to flush it [17:48] milen8204, my mouse shows that it has "9" buttons to chose from. lol. How do I know which is the right button, and which setting should I change the bindings to? Rotate Cube -> Initiate?

It'll ask for disabling desktop wall, disable it. It'll also enable Desktop Cube.

I have it in a $TERM check, but you might be ok on most terminals w/ it [18:05] cause its the home folder ? [18:05] yes [18:05] MrMintanet01: you could also press ctrl+alt and left click anywhere, for cube to initiate. Dont think iBook should be a problem till you are using compiz as window manager. [18:05] hmmm oke [18:05] hi [18:05] codemonkey1991: customising it should be in the bash man page, but you can use most env variables (up there I'm using USER/HOSTNAME/PWD) [18:05] Vipertje: just like if you wanted to get to your downloads folder, you can just type in cd ~/Downloads [18:05] slingshot316: And you can't specify python2.5 in the shebang?

[18:11] deuterium: yep. [18:11] nemo: ok, thx. will check. [18:11] deuterium: I've found though that if you set flash at top of list in bios, sometimes it still doesn't work [18:11] deuterium: sure, you have only to change the bootloader position at the installation to your usb device [18:11] deuterium: no idea why (USB slow to scan?)

[18:14] it fails way too often on me to be useful [18:14] but I'd still like to keep things like ssh autocomplete [18:14] er. scp [18:14] maybe its me, but i think the screenlet options are pretty crappy. Is there a better alternative to screenlets? [18:14] Hi, I'm installing Ubuntu server 64 using the Universal-USB-installer to get it to a USB stick. Once I boot from the USB and select to install ubuntu, it gets stuck. I had a look at what it tried to boot and found the path install\netboot\ubuntu-installer\i386 even though its for 64 (that has ..ubuntu-installer\amd64) renaming amd64 to i386 the install started.. Is it wrong with my iso? Or usb-installer that it messing up things? [18:14] nemo: autocomplete extension filtering? -ENOPARSE [18:15] maco: as an env var? [18:15] nemo: that was an ERROR message [18:15] nemo: it means "i have no idea what you just said" [18:15] maco: /etc/bash_completion I'm guessing [18:15] nemo: Urh, seems I'm going to have to retract my statement [18:15] maco: but to explain. try typing mplayer somefile [18:15] nemo: bash completion isnt installed by default [18:15] nemo: It's not working as it should [18:16] nemo: bash upstream removed it [18:16] maco: and if somefile is somefile.gif [18:16] it refuses to complete [18:16] maco: oh. interesting. I wonder why I still have it enabled... [18:16] nemo: there's a bash-completion package...guess you have it installed [18:16] maco: well. the thing is, I want to keep scp autocomplete - that one is useful [18:16] is just the extension autocompletion that is horribly broken [18:17] so I was wondering if there was a var for it [18:17] ASS [18:17] nemo: i dont know [18:17] ah well. was worth a shot [18:17] nemo: not being maintained upstream is why its a spearate package though. guess you could dig into the code...

[18:21] KirkMcDonald, the same entry and script was working like a charm before upgrading [18:21] what sort of env. variables [18:22] manohar: Did you copy the whole crontab file, or just the one line? [18:22] hi guys! [18:22] how might I fix the fullscreen flash bug that occurs when using dual monitors? [18:22] Wasn't there a fix posted online a little while back? [18:22] Let me see if I can find it [18:22] i dint change any thing in the crontab file [18:23] KirkMcDonald, the file is the same as it was working fine before upgrade [18:23] manohar: And the command works in the shell? === emanuel is now known as Guest22140 [18:24] manohar: In general, the difference between running things as a cronjob and running them in the shell will be the environment variables. [18:24] KirkMcDonald, yes it works in the shell [18:24] Hey! I'm trying to build php 5.3.5 for ubuntu maverick but I'm having some problems... Can anybody direct me to a suitable channel? [18:24] KirkMcDonald, which env variable? [18:25] manohar: I can't say specifically what the difference is, but that's probably the issue. [18:25] manohar: Could be anything. Are you using any relative paths or referring to any binaries on the PATH? === Guest22140 is now known as soupdegrace [18:25] manohar: Are you getting email from cron? [18:25] no emails as i have redirected it to a null file [18:26] Maybe drop the redirect so you can see whatever error message it might be giving. [18:26] KirkMcDonald, the path is to a directory and its a absolute path [18:26] soupdegrace: i guess it would depend on the precise problem you're having. [18:26] does anyone know if there are any good chatrooms on freenode for talking about advanced linux routing / networking type stuff? [18:27] manohar: What about the thing you're executing? Are you using an absolute path to it? [18:27] mahpton: #linux ? [18:27] mahpton: what you mean advanced? [18:28] m0nhawk: like this kinda advanced: http://lartc.org/ [18:28] mahpton: #networking ?

I am using a steelseries 6gv2 and it is supposed to have an US international layout, but when I compare the layout with what the ubuntu tool shows it does not correspond, any suggestions? [18:34] manohar: I'm misremembering how /etc/crontab works. [18:34] i searched in google and placing the username will execute the cron job for that user === Mallen2008 is now known as Mallen_ [18:35] manohar: But only in /etc/crontab. If you've installed this as a regular user crontab, you need to get rid of the username. [18:35] the & key is on top of the 6, instead of the 7, it is like every key got moved to the left for numbers, and some of the special characters do not correspond [18:35] err, to the right [18:36] anyone know good hosting on didicated server with Ubuntu? [18:36] hi there [18:36] KirkMcDonald, placing username did the trick in hardy [18:37] ah hmm, might have it now [18:37] KirkMcDonald, it was working fine with it [18:37] manohar: Where (or how) are you installing this crontab? [18:37] Hi there [18:37] I need some OpenVPN help [18:37] Please :$ [18:38] KirkMcDonald, by editing the /etc/crontab file and placing that line [18:38] Okay.

[18:54] for building the TAGS file [18:54] thats the error I get when starting up VMware with ubuntu [18:55] can i get php help here? [18:55] Progal: ##php would be a better place (if you mean programming, not getting it installed). [18:55] Dranik: er. I thought ctags did recursive builds. but... why not find -name "*.rb" somecommand "{}" \; [18:55] Dranik: find . -name '*.rb' -exec commandhere '{}' \; [18:55] CryonicCore, may be you should install vmware tools [18:55] xangua: I also have a problem with logging on to ubuntu 10.10, i get prompted twice for a password- do you know how to fix it? [18:55] is there a channel for OpenVPN support?

[18:56] Dranik, where can I find that? [18:56] nemo: i dont know [18:56] Dranik: I think you should try, from past recollection, you get better tag files if it uses large bunches of files [18:57] Dranik: been a while since I did it but I used to do a recursive one and per-directory ones [18:57] oh...no its not for wifi [18:57] that way the recursive one had tags for all files under it [18:57] Dranik: the find command may not do that correctly, since it executes once per file [18:57] ubnoob: ehm. how about ssh then? [18:57] #openvpn [18:57] ##openvpn [18:58] ubnoob: is this a clean install? [18:58] Dranik, I am downloading them now but how do I use them? [18:58] nemo: it was a clean install but after several updates it started happening [18:59] nemo, erUSUL, thanks, find -exec ... was helpful [18:59] CryonicCore, you will mount them as a CD-ROM with drivers [18:59] you run them and eventually you get drivers for vmware devices [19:00] ubnoob: my guess is an ssh key, another possibility is you have something in your startup applications calling gksudo or somesuch [19:00] Dranik, I am a noob at this so please be patient but how to I mount it? [19:00] ubnoob: system->preferences->startup applications [19:01] CryonicCore, nothing special here. You open vmware menu and click item "Install VMWare tools" [19:01] and it will mount the virtual drive with the drivers [19:02] Real men use Fedora [19:02] Carx, let the holy war begin! :-) [19:02] * nemo coughs *slackware* [19:02] I was just trolling I've never used Fedora [19:02] nah!

[19:27] warlock: so fakeraid :( should be ok [19:28] peto: the easiest way would be to just VNC to the computer, or rip it, share it over the network, and stream it [19:28] I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. My laptop HP Simple Pass fingerprint reader works great in windows 7, but not in Maverick. [19:28] can anyone see this? [19:28] @actionparsnip I could get a raid card [19:28] bananas: Yes sir. [19:29] Vustom: add this to /etc/hosts 88.191.101.8 packages.medibuntu.org [19:29] bastidrazor: I did that with my fstab file but it still gave me the desktop icon. [19:29] awesome: I was wondering if there was a way to update to 11.04 through a ppa of some sort? [19:29] Vustom: should be ok then [19:29] where can i get help with evolution? [19:29] ZeroAdam: what did you use as its mount point? [19:29] bananas: Check the topic of #ubuntu+1, thats the Natty/11.04 channel. [19:29] ActionParsnip, does ubuntu have a comparable package repository compared to fedora? i know some distros like to be stripped down, forcing you to install from source individually [19:29] check [19:29] thanks! [19:29] ActionParsnip how to get there? I'm new to Ubuntu [19:29] MtrPanda: For Ubuntu you can ask here, or you can ask in #evolution [19:29] warlock: makes it faster but some cards can be a pain, for cheap easy raid, softraid is fine.For anything under any sort of strain i'd advise a card [19:30] Vustom: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [19:30] ActionParsnip, and also multimedia - ie movies, mp3's, etc.. [19:30] bonjoyee:yes, I need to play dvd-video [19:30] bastidrazor: /dev/sdb1 /media/storage defaults 0 0 [19:30] warlock: I second that, don't use fakeraid, use softwareraid or a real hardware raid [19:30] peto: or you could setup vnc to stream it, and then open the stream with vnc on another computer [19:30] Action where abouts do I put the line? [19:30] ZeroAdam: is it ext3 or ext4? [19:30] hey all. got an ssh question. I have an old system with openssh v1 installed. On my laptop, I have openssh v2 installed. can I add a ssh v2 generated key to the v1 ssh authorized keys and be able to connect? [19:30] at the bottom? [19:30] ext4 [19:30] tomasm-: there is a handy pair of packages which will pull in pretty much all you can need: ubuntu-restricted-extras and by adding the medibuntu repo: w32codecs [19:30] sorry left that part out [19:31] !dvd | peto [19:31] peto: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [19:31] ActionParsnip is it safe to put 88.191.101.8 packages.medibuntu.org in there? [19:31] ZeroAdam: you could change the mount point to /mnt/storage and it will not show on the desktop, also i would change the last 0 to a 2 [19:31] peto: if you can mount the folder(ie the dvd drive) using nfs/samba then you can play the dvd folder using vlc or other player that supports playing a dvd structure! [19:31] Vustom: see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/565810 reply #12 [19:31] bastidrazor: Thanks i'll try that! [19:31] have any ideea whay racoon can't pass the phane 1 on a VPN tunneling? ERROR: phase2 negotiation failed due to time up waiting for phase1. [19:32] ZeroAdam: you would need to create the mount point of course. you can make these changes and have it mount without restarting. [19:32] bastidrazor: chmod 600 on the mount point right? [19:33] peto: so your first target is to get /media/cdrom0 on the remote machine mounted to some folder on your local machine...via nfs/samba(smbfs) [19:33] ZeroAdam: no, just sudo mkdir /mnt/storage and the options you use in fstab will determine permissions. in your case, defaults, will be fine. [19:33] SoulRaven: different proposals for phase 1? [19:33] bastidrazor: great, thanks! [19:33] schnuffle: no, is ok on the buth side [19:33] where can i get help with evolution? [19:34] schnuffle: i have to use nat_transversal [19:34] ZeroAdam: i actually have my mount points owned by me. sudo chown $USER /mnt/storage ..you can use that command and it will own it by your user [19:34] Action http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/565132/ [19:34] ? === Anthraxium is now known as Anthraxium|Detac [19:34] SoulRaven: oooh, thats another beast :) [19:34] bastidrazor: got it! [19:34] MtrPanda: For Ubuntu you can ask here, or you can ask in #evolution. [19:35] #evolution is empty [19:35] SoulRaven: do you use port forwarding? [19:35] schnuffle: DEBUG: resend phase1 packet 1c3302baa4e23ca6:0000000000000000 [19:35] Vustom: sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update [19:35] ZeroAdam: once you've made the chagnes in fstab, unmount the drive. then type sudo mount -a ..this will mount anything in fstab that is not currently mounted. [19:35] it wont get mail. teh send/receive tab is shaded out [19:35] Vustom: the medibuntu keyring authenticates the repo [19:35] MtrPanda: Have you enabled 'work offline'? [19:36] schnuffle: yes, 500, 50 and 4500 UDP [19:36] Action should I take the line out of etc/hosts now? [19:36] Vustom: you would have found that here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [19:36] will look [19:36] since it's upated [19:36] ChanServ: i have only root and swap area, is ir necessary that i need to create boot also ? [19:36] Vustom: no as you need it to connect to the server to download packages [19:36] Jeruvy: i have only root and swap area, is ir necessary that i need to create boot also ? [19:36] bastidrazor: that was exactly it! thanks for all your help. It even pulled out of my places menu as "250 GB Filesystem" Perfect!!!! [19:36] is there much difference between ubuntu desktop edition and server edition? I am doing php development and at least need apache, dns, mail, etc servers available on the box [19:36] So now everytime I want to apt-get update I need to type sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update? [19:36] vivek_: it's not required,chanserv isn't a user [19:37] tomasm-: desktop has a desktop, server doesn't and is also optomised for background processes [19:37] DUH! I must have clicked it unknowingly >>> MANY THANKS [19:37] tomasm-: server has no graphical environment installed, and a text-based installer as well. [19:37] tomasm-: if you want a mouse based interface to the system, install the desktop [19:37] OOPS :) [19:37] ActionParsnip: t will not create any problem know? [19:37] ZeroAdam: you're welcome. you can add it back to Places menu if you want. [19:37] MtrPanda: :) [19:37] k, thanks [19:37] vivek_: none, i've never used a seperate /boot [19:38] bastidrazor: No, i like it gone from there, it was throwing me off visually. Thanks again!! [19:38] is there any way to stop it from closing down the screen ever 10 minutes or so and demandingthe unlock password again ? [19:38] nice gratitude from vivek_ [19:38] :( [19:38] ActionParsnip, now if i have an AMDx64 chip, should i still get the 32-bit version? [19:39] ZeroAdam: good deal. you're welcome. [19:39] MtrPanda: in screensaver tell the OS not to dim the screen, also set the display properties in the power sectio [19:39] schnuffle: do you have any ideea? [19:39] MtrPanda: check the power management settings..System>Pref>power management [19:39] it only happens in evolution. have set not topower down for 1 hour [19:40] ActionParsnip: It worked, so will sudo apt-get update work normally now, and should I remove that line of code from etc/hosts? [19:40] tomasm-: yes, most 64bit CPUs can emulate 32bit, which is why you could run 32bit XP on your 64bit CPU. If you have more than 3Gb RAM you may want to look at 64bit ubuntu. You can se 32bit Ubuntu with PAE kernel and access 64Gb RAM though [19:40] SoulRaven: i'm just googling a bit my last setup is a while ago and I switched to openvpn for most VPNs I use [19:40] MtrPanda: also check the screensaver settings as ActionParsnip suggested.. [19:40] Vustom: no, you need it to resolve the name to the correct IP [19:40] is VHCS supported on Ub 10.04 server LTS? [19:40] SoulRaven: is openvpn a solution you can use? [19:41] ActionParsnip, is it safe to leave it there then?

[20:38] MrMintanet, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file [20:38] MrMintanet, after you've changed it in there, do an apt-get update [20:38] dlyneswork, I am using a PowerPC port. [20:38] #ruby-dbi [20:38] dlyneswork, Can you tell me how to change the domain? [20:38] MrMintanet, why does that matter? [20:39] MrMintanet, an editor is an editor....matters not what platform you're on [20:39] so, is it normal for the cpu fans to be running quite fast at rougly 40C temperatures, or is 40C relatively cool? [20:39] MrMintanet, if I need to teach you how to use an editor, you've got bigger problems [20:39] tobier, 40C is normal [20:40] tobier, and 60C is normal for a GPU [20:40] dlyneswork: normal as in it's normal for the fans to be loud at this temperature? [20:40] dlyneswork, I know how to use an editor. I didn't know where the file was located that needed to be altered. Steady there. [20:40] tobier, depends on which chinese or taiwanese manufacturer they came from [20:40] i think wine is not better option [20:40] dlyneswork, MrMintanet01: powerpc is no longer a supported arch. [20:41] is there a way to start the terminal via hotkey? [20:41] Pici, It was released on 10.10, no? [20:41] Pici, ah...didn't know that...I think it's still supported on Debian [20:41] guntbert: remaining time is also increasing with increase in % of writing why so ? [20:41] I'm pretty sure that my fans were less noisy in earlier kernels.. [20:41] it's pretty annoying :P [20:41] tobier, disconnect them, then :o [20:41] my X is owrking now but both panels are gone and all frames.. [20:41] dlyneswork: helpful... [20:41] Hi, I'd like to make sure that my network card is correctly installed : I have a computer running windows on which I have enabled connection sharing, and ~1m is a system running linux on which I tried 'iwlist scan' but nothing shows up in wlan. How can I test what is wrong ? [20:41] I have a technical question. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 on a NoteBook. But the graphics are terrible. Even watching youtube videos seams to be a visual fiasko. I wonder if my graphic card is wrongly installed. Right now it works with the drivers out of the box of ubuntu 10.10. And lspci tells me that this about my graphiccard. "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400" How do I know if the driver is [20:41] the correct one or where do I get a working driver? Would be glad if somone could send me into the right direction. [20:41] vivek_: I cannot know, maybe the drive or the CD is faulty [20:41] tobier, cpu fans, or gpu fans? [20:41] Okay, I just installed 10.10 on a Acer Aspire 1410 ZL1 notebook. Yet, 3d accleration is not activating, and the restricted drivers thing gives no options [20:41] tobier, What is your problem again? [20:42] MrMintanet01: noisy CPU fans [20:42] MrMintanet01: Not since Edgy/6.10 [20:42] tobier, yeah...don't know how to fix that, then [20:42] MrMintanet01: I'm pretty sure they were less noisy with earlier kernels.. can't remember which though [20:42] Pici, then why is it downloadable directly from Ubuntu's website? [20:43] MrMintanet01: Actuall, I'm wrong there. one moment. [20:43] Pici, I don't mean to be terse. I'm just curious. [20:43] or perhaps its a bios thing, because I did hand in the laptop for display repairs and they did update the bios [20:43] anyone got any advice?

[21:44] hey guys, can anyone suggest a good solution to ensure that a mount bind exists on reboot for chrooted environments (virtual hosting)? the chroots are created via a shell script, so it would be best to avoid having to add entries to fstab (or similar) [21:44] erUSUL, okay thanks [21:45] intel352: init script [21:45] jacekowski, ok...well why wouldn't show up as a mounted volume (similar to my two USB drives) instead of a folder? [21:45] pythonizer: Thanks. [21:45] ubun: could be a problem with your RAM. [21:45] markskilbeck: you're welcome [21:45] Abinadai: probably because gnome sucks and can't tell a difference [21:45] ugh [21:46] jacekowski: you suppose to help or bash it? [21:46] jacekowski, are you suggesting adding a new script to /etc/init.d/, or is there a generic linux method for adding commands to startup? [21:46] pythonizer: idont know what you mean... im on the computer now... used to work fine but now it crashes [21:46] intel352: that is a generic way of doing it [21:46] I turned of UPnP, maybe that did the trick [21:46] intel352: or /etc/rc.local [21:46] so far so good [21:46] but scripts are better [21:47] Abinadai: the mounted flash drives are still in a folder, /media/?????

Now im trying to install Allods Online on the system, using wine. When i open up the game I just get a completely white box on the screen. Anyone who can help with this? I have tried googling the problem, but can't find a solution. [21:48] yes [21:48] almoxarife, they aren't flash drives. A 1TB and 500GB drive [21:48] erUSUL: very helpful link, thanks. Some good info on the different options, too. In fact, now I feel the need to ask my original question again -- looks like upstart & DBus aren't off the cards yet. Anyway, I'll go and do some further research, unless anyone has more opinions on udev vs upstart/DBus/DeviceKit at this point. [21:48] JesperSW: i already answered your question.

I only know that HT Processors are often seen as dual core from when I have used Knoppix Live CDs. The two penguins if you have dual core...

It is kinda urgent [22:24] Hey, does anyone ever encountered a problem with itunes music libraries and reading the music files on ubuntu?? [22:24] I have all my music files, not boughten from itunes, in my partition E:/music/ but when I go look into the music folder while on ubuntu it is empty. [22:25] BlackRat90, what format is the drive in? [22:25] What is a good ATI Card for Ubuntu? I had to deny a kernel upgrade so I can use Nvidia drivers 96 [22:25] jake: you are trying to do a redirect, sudo doesn't work like that. try using "gksudo gedit" and manually adding the string to the file. [22:25] anyone good with openoffice spreadsheet? =FACT(B5-2) returns err 502, where B5 is variable in a certain cell and 2 is an integer [22:25] BlackRat90, you won't be able to use your iTunes music in ubuntu because apple doesn't support linux [22:25] AGP(8x) [22:25] MrMintaneot101, its a ntfs. it was orginally made in windows [22:25] Abinadai: you don't like it :) , well, that is how linux does it, are 15 and 16 usb? [22:26] before I did the upgrade to ....26 everything was working fine I had compiz working great just the way I wanted it and now after the upgrade nothing is working the way it was ? [22:26] Its only my music folder that has this problem [22:26] It still cant find the source list [22:26] OK the problem is that I first installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Hard drive and then I just installed windows 7. It seems win7's partition manager does not recognize ubuntu's on purpose. Now I'm stuck with only win7 working and there is no ubuntu10...what can I do to revert this? [22:26] BlackRat90, Are you sure you don't have that folder encrypted? Perhaps you should move the folder contents to a different folder just for fun? [22:26] ardchoille: The command he showed us would append the file. === imi is now known as Guest31677 [22:27] alm, sorry, i can't tell because I just accidentally turned my stupid touchpad off and will have to turn the machine on and off...(unless it reserves it's state) Is there anyway I can turn it back on? [22:27] ack [22:27] Rodolfo you could always just install Ubuntu within windows? [22:27] Wouldn't that work the same? [22:27] almoxarife, sorry, i can't tell because I just accidentally turned my stupid touchpad off and will have to turn the machine on and off...(unless it reserves it's state) Is there anyway I can turn it back on? [22:28] MrMintaneot101, I did try that with one of teh album folders, and I could in fact see the files, but I do not have enough space to move ALL my music into another folder [22:28] usr13: "sudo su -c 'echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list" won't work because sudo cannot handle the ">>" redirect. [22:28] BlackRat90, So, is the specific folder encrypted or something? That is a unique problem! === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK [22:28] Hi. I want to install a command line only Ubuntu to be used as an IRC and game server. Will Ubuntu server do that? [22:28] !grub2 [22:28] Rodolfo: next time you pretend to dualboot, install windows first; if you did not delete ubuntu just reinstall grub [22:28] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [22:28] Abinadai: touchpad? folders? I don't see the connection [22:28] BlackRat90, I feel for you though. I hate stupid problems that make no sense. I have to go now, but I do hope you get this figured out. [22:29] !minimal | r000t [22:29] r000t: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:29] MrMintaneot101, that would be my guess, thanks for the help [22:29] philip__ no it would not. It seems that once I install ubuntu using wubi, it's just another app installed on windows. The thing is, once ubuntu is ALREADY installed on my hard drive, how do I get my ubuntu partition back? [22:29] If i want to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.10, do i then need to reinstall or is there a upgrade? [22:29] Okay so what is Ubuntu server then? [22:29] its just not visible. [22:29] almoxarife, I was going to answer your question and accidentally turned off the touchpad, so I can''t go anware except IRC [22:30] how do i install vmware server [22:30] ardchoille: use tee.. echo stuff | sudo tee -a file [22:30] xangua, is there a grub for windows? [22:30] i have the RMP but the instructions are lame, is there an easier way [22:30] bastidrazor: yes [22:30] RMP* [22:30] ....RPM** [22:30] andai: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:30] @JesperSW I believe you can upgrade if you configure the update manger to update to non-long term support release [22:30] I KNEW i should have thrown my usb mouse into the briefcase!! (knocks self in head) [22:30] Rodolfo: you had a wubi install of ubuntu? [22:31] andai, Just use VirtualBox. It's much better... [22:31] MrMintanet101 The reason i decided to switch from VBox to VMWare is cause VBox makes booting from USB complicated [22:31] andai: do you have the .deb? [22:31] almoxarife, No I just manually installed windows over ubuntu. Ubuntu was manually installed as well [22:31] hi, I installed ubuntu lucid minutes ago on a http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=9a96Os3KcsYjaNMk with http://pastebin.lugmen.org.ar/6428, the sound were working properly, but now isn't, i've restared, stopped pulseaudio, and nothing, [22:32] bastidrazor: they only provide RPM, the ubuntu guide says i need to install some weird shit, convert it to DEB, install it, then hack some configuration files :/ [22:32] andai, Then don't boot from USB. :) [22:32] does anyone know how I can tab, or a key combination that will allow me to get to the menus or applets that are running and turn my mouse back on? [22:32] I don't know what to do, I've tried with de tty term, aplay "some_example" and nothing. [22:32] MrMintanet101 I'm doing that cause I decided "then don't boot from windows" on the crappy school computers [22:32] Rodolfo: you didn't install win7 over ubuntu? same partition? [22:32] ardchoille: The command does not work so... [22:32] I have tried all the ways you guys have given me and it still has not installed the Ubuntu studio program [22:33] Does anybody know what's a decent Ati card AGP8x for Ubuntu10.04? [22:33] Abinadai: ALT+TAB to get to other windows. ALT+F1 for the applications menu. ALT+F2 for the Run dialog. Does that help? [22:33] jake: Where did you get instrutions? [22:33] nope. Different partitions. The thing is, windows' partition manager is too stupid to recognize any other OS. [22:33] hola [22:33] often it makes a "break" noise. [22:33] español [22:33] jake: can you show me? [22:33] andai: alien is the application that will convert rpm to deb, which is a bad idea too. [22:33] almoxarife, nope. Different partitions. The thing is, windows' partition manager is too stupid to recognize any other OS. [22:33] ardchoille, YES! thanks [22:33] usr13: right, but this will work: "sudo echo blah | sudo tee -a filename" [22:33] Abinadai: yw :) === root_ is now known as rererfdfdfdf [22:34] Abinadai, Try this? http://www.rvdavid.net/disabling-the-laptop-touchpad-in-ubuntu-linux/ [22:34] ardchoille: no need to sudo the echo. [22:34] Rodolfo, not too stupid... it just don't want to. [22:34] bastidrazor: ah, good point [22:34] step 1: paste into terminal sudo su -c 'echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main >> /etc/apt/sources.list' step 2: sudo apt-get update step 3 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [22:34] hey umm quick question what resoultion do i use when i setup grub for a resoultion of 800 x 480 ( WVGA ) [22:34] rumpe1, nonetheless do you guys think wingrub can handle my problem? [22:34] usr13: see what bastidrazor said about sudo and echo [22:34] my dad was helping my but it still didn't work right the way he gave me to [22:34] hola? [22:34] soy español [22:34] sooo everyone here is against VMWare [22:34] the config is using vga=0x317 [22:34] I'm looking for someone who can help me with my iBook G4. I have an external monitor hooked up to it, because I cracked the LCD on the iBook itself. I have disabled the iBooks LCD and I am using the proprietary turd of an adapter and hooking up via VGA to an HP w2408h monitor. It's 24 inches... It supports resolutions of 1920x1200, but I can't seem to get it to display past 1024x768. I have tried a great deal of things, but nothing works. [22:34] I would be most appreciative if someone could point me in the right direction. I have attempted editing my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and haven't had any luck. After editing the xorg.conf file, I can now see the resolution I am wanting, but when I select it, and apply the changes, the screen goes black. I have tried downloading "Multiple Monitors" app and some other resolution programs from the Software Centre, but still... no luck. Anyone? [22:34] Anyone at all? :) [22:34] :D [22:34] MrMintanet01: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:35] dela: hola, probaste con #ubuntu-es? [22:35] thats all the information i can give you i am not sure where he found it [22:35] como me meto? [22:35] andai: i use it but it isn't free. vmplayer is free but vmware server is not. [22:35] no home page for it, "just another project" from SF [22:35] gracias mabeet [22:35] vmware server is, vmware workstation is not :P [22:35] I need the hex values to set my resoultions in grub.... for 800 x 480 ( WVGA ) anyone know ?

Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [22:35] ardchoille: I think all he really needs to do is echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main /etc/apt/surces.list [22:35] Rodolfo: win7 is up and working? [22:35] either way i need to install it, they provide a .gz executable (should i just use that?) [22:36] MrMintane01, It appears VGA Under Linux on some cards can't go past 1024x768.... Try using DVI if you can. [22:36] almoxarife, yes it is. [22:36] Mine did the same EXACT THING. [22:36] usr13: that will not work. [22:36] usr13: that won't work because he needs sudo to edit /etc/apt/sources.list [22:36] ok this is not good. the mouse applet has captured my mousepad in the off state and it's going to remain that way until I'm back home and can use my usb mouse? does that about sum it up? === newbiex is now known as xtremox [22:36] jake: sudo echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main >> /etc/apt/surces.list [22:36] Rodolfo: look at repairing the ubuntu grub issue with a livecd, google it [22:36] i have nvidia graphics card and my video keeps fading in and out [22:36] Mine only went past 1024x768 on a CRT Screen. [22:36] where can i find out abotu hex values ? [22:36] usr13: that won't work either because of the redirect ">>" [22:36] usr13: that will not work [22:37] usr13: sudo -i then echo blah blah [22:37] usr13, You should also spell "SOURCES" correctly. [22:37] usr13: echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [22:37] jake: echo "deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [22:37] Usr13: this it what it gave me [22:37] bash: /etc/apt/surces.lis: Permission denied [22:37] bastidrazor: :) [22:37] ardchoille: :P [22:37] jake: echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [22:38] ring password [22:38] MrMintanet01: YOu are correct [22:38] jake: sudo will not work with a redirect (>>) [22:38] bastidrazor: PM? [22:38] Question with GNU GRUB, Cannot get Linux to Load through GRUB, can anyone help me out? [22:38] the commands still isn't working [22:38] ardchoille: sure. [22:39] How can I get to the mouse applet that is running on the system tray? (I don't know what they call it in Maverick) [22:39] jake: sudo echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main >> /etc/apt/sources.list [22:39] ardchoille: Then do you know what will work? [22:39] jake, why don't you just use a CD? I am confused. [22:39] usr13: for the 3rd time.. that will not work. [22:39] almoxarife, look, Im trying this one: http://tinyurl.com/jha3s but it does teach how to make a manual workaround using ubuntu [22:39] i'm using windows right now... :( [22:39] bastidrazor: Why not? [22:39] I don't have the cd [22:40] jake: echo 'deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [22:40] Rodolfo: yeap, good one [22:40] usr13: as ardchoille pointed out. the redirect does not respect the sudo. also you can't have spaces in an echo without quoting it [22:40] Rodolfo: you will need a livecd at some point, windows can create the livecd if you can burn [22:40] almoxarife, indeed it is but what about a workaround using windows? [22:41] ardchoille:it gave me deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main [22:41] Question with GNU GRUB, Cannot get Linux to Load through GRUB, can anyone help me out? [22:41] Rodolfo: I don't know about that, sounds scary [22:41] if i just grab a disk and reinstall my OS will it still keep all my files? === christian is now known as Guest63534 [22:41] jake, maybe it would be easier to acquire the install CD? [22:41] ubuntu.fr [22:42] jeand_: /join #ubuntu-fr [22:42] jake: yes, it gave you the result of the echo, but your sources.list file was still edited [22:42] bonjour [22:42] qui peut m'aider [22:42] ?? [22:42] Ok where do i go from there? [22:42] !fr | jeand_ [22:42] jeand_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[22:42] Hello all [22:42] jake: sudo apt-get update [22:42] almoxarife, (...) so now that my ubuntu partition is s****** up by windows' partition manager, I'm supposed to burn ubuntu live cd and use it. Once I'm done, I'm good to go with that workaround, right? [22:42] hi all [22:42] hi, how would i use find to find a .exe file. i.e. ffmpeg.exe without finding ffmpeg_g.exe? [22:42] hello [22:42] i from argentina [22:43] jake, give up. Get the CD. Spare yourself the pain... [22:43] MrMintanet01: poor advice. [22:43] Ok now i updated it [22:43] Aelingil: What happens when you try to boot? What version of Ubuntu are you using? [22:43] Rodolfo: the partition should be intact, you can see if it exists in win7 even, and the livecd will make life all good again [22:44] Last time... I'm looking for someone who can help me with my iBook G4. I have an external monitor hooked up to it, because I cracked the LCD on the iBook itself. I have disabled the iBooks LCD and I am using the proprietary turd of an adapter and hooking up via VGA to an HP w2408h monitor. It's 24 inches... It supports resolutions of 1920x1200, but I can't seem to get it to display past 1024x768. I have tried a great deal of things, but n [22:44] othing works.

I have tried downloading "Multiple Monitors" app and some other resolution programs from the Software Centre, but still... no l [22:44] uck. Anyone? Anyone at all? :) [22:44] MrMintanet01: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:44] where do i go from the update [22:44] almoxarife, I'll give it a shot. Thank you very much for the advice. [22:44] Nvm it failed [22:45] jake: now that your sources have been updated, you should be able to install what you wanted [22:45] nice canal :), nice to meet all [22:45] I'm screwed. [22:45] K bye [22:45] :) [22:45] jake: Just edit the file and append what you need to at the end of the file. [22:45] Jordan_U: Boots directly into the GNU GRUB command line. I just updated to 10.10 about a week ago (no problems before that). I think the problem is with the Boot Record, i used this computer as a fixer. I unplugged the HD w/ Linux on it. [22:46] bastidrazor: is right, it can't be done the way the instructions say. And I do not know why really, but the instructions have errors anyway so. [22:46] Aelingil: Does it give you a "grub> " shell or a "rescue> " shell? [22:46] can anyone help with my repo problem [22:46] i just changed my ubuntu, i setup the cache to ram [22:46] :) [22:46] who is your problem tempus? [22:46] Listen i am not sure how i am supposed to edit it when it failed [22:47] Grub> [22:47] jake: bastidrazor But there is a gui method for adding sources, right? [22:47] jake: where are the instructions you're reading from? [22:47] usr13: yes, Software Sources [22:47] jake: do this without the quotes "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep ubuntustudio" if you get a line back you should do "sudo apt-get update" (without quoites) [22:47] Instructions and i am not sure if there is a gui way or not [22:48] jordan_U: Grub> [22:48] jake: it might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with command line instructions at some point because CLI is faster and more powerful [22:49] Aelingil: Can you boot from a LiveCD? [22:49] I know my dad helps me with most of it he knows it ten times better then i do [22:49] jake, You would be amazed at how powerful installation CDs are when installing Ubuntu. [22:49] jake: Ask him to teach you when you both have time [22:50] jake: sudo echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [22:50] jake, Hold my pens [22:50] as bastidrazor says, the above command wouild work. [22:50] I am not installing Ubuntu???/ [22:50] Jordan_U: Downloaded / Installed from Windows. I've made a boot-Thumb drive but it is at home and not here. I dont have a LiveCD [22:50] Where did you get that from? [22:51] jake: what does (without the quotes) "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep ubuntustudio" give you? [22:51] jake: Correction: sudo echo deb http://archive.ubuntustudio.org/ubuntustudio maverick main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [22:51] which is the best ide for python programming [22:51] usr13: you're still missing the point of echo.. that command will not work. [22:52] Were are from?. I from Argentina [22:52] jake, Show me your bathroom. [22:52] Aelingil: Ahh. In the future I do not recomment using the windows installer. [22:52] usr13: no need to sudo the echo bit [22:52] Aelingil: If you run "ls" at the grub shell is a "(loop0)" device listed? [22:52] usr13: and you need to add quotes for the echo to work with spaces [22:52] Jordan_U: Yeah, it is my first Linux switch and i had stuff i needed on the Windows.. Hold on i'll try [22:52] I am going to email my dad brb [22:52] which is the best ide for python programming [22:53] usr13: the things after echo will need to be in quotes up to the pipe. [22:53] jake, Ask your dad to teach you how to use the computer. It will help. [22:53] ardchoille: No, it works. [22:54] Jordan_U: Yep this is what i have. memdisk, Loop0, hd0, hd0, msdos3, hd0, msdos1 [22:54] bastidrazor: No, it works, I tested it. But you can put quotes on if you want, but it works. [22:54] Aelingil: Try running "configfile (loop0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg". [22:54] best ide for python programing????

[23:04] Jordan_U: Well, i typed in "boot" and it kicked me back to the boot menu, and hit enter to go into Ubuntu.. back to GNU GRUB. [23:04] Abinadai: notepad might work for you. [23:04] Starminn, well that's the thing, Netbook comes with both but I really am wondering if I can get the legacy interface, pre-unity [23:04] Abinadai: or edit [23:05] nillerz, My missus has an Acer netbook - she freaked on the Unity desktop, so I just replaced it with the normal Gnome desktop - she's happy now. [23:06] but I don't want to lose the 9.04 interface, that thing was awesome. [23:06] Aelingil: Do you see files listed when you run "ls (loop0)/"? [23:06] Can you still install it on 10.10? [23:06] how to program python in anjuta ide [23:06] nillerz, The "interface" is merely Gnome...nothing more. [23:06] usr13, thanks, now the question is....how do I find the grub files while I'm in windows? I have a grub2 editor (GUI) in Maverick [23:07] Jordan_U: Yep, looks like the main file, Lost+Found/ Var/ Host/ Etc/ and on and on and on.. root/ is also there. [23:07] YankDownUnder, nice to see you again! [23:07] Abinadai: What are you tryint to edit specifically? [23:07] how to program python in anjuta ide [23:07] Abinadai: I do not think MS Windows is able to read the filesystem your Linux install is on without installing some additional software. [23:07] Abinadai, Gday mate - I'm always lurking about [23:08] Abinadai: You probably need to use a LiveCD. [23:08] Abinadai: Indeed. You need to download some apps to get Windows to see your Linux files. [23:08] Aelingil: Does "ls (loop0)/boot/grub/" list a bunch of *.mod files and a grub.cfg? [23:08] YankDownUnder, it may be gnome but it is specifically modified for use on a netbook, in case you didn't know, it completely replaces the menu system with a much easier system [23:08] nillerz, Yer preaching to the choir mate. [23:08] openbees: you might start in #anjuta and go from there [23:08] YankDownUnder, well I'm wondering if I can get *that* [23:08] Jordan_U: Yep [23:09] okay.... so you guys are probably going to be sick of a question like this... but I am completely new. I went to the home page for Ubuntu, downloaded the .iso, burned it to disk, stuck it in the machine I am going to install it on... and got "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg." I have no clue what to do from there [23:09] Starminn, any ideas on what and where to download the needed files? [23:09] nillerz, Unity is the progression of that interface. [23:09] Jordan_U: Well i do not see the Grub.cfg file.. it flooded my screen [23:09] Abinadai: What Windows OS? [23:09] ardchoille...can u explain in detail [23:09] Aelingil: Do you get any error message if you run "md5sum (loop0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg"? [23:09] YankDownUnder, that's not very helpful, I'm just wondering if I can get *that* one, not the new one. [23:09] Starminn, windows 7 64 bit [23:10] openbees: in your irc client, type this /join #anjuta [23:10] some people like KDE 3.5 better than KDE 4 [23:10] matt___: how did you burn your cd? [23:10] openbees: that's the channel for anjuta discussion [23:10] ok thanks [23:10] I might like the old netbook better than Unity [23:10] what package is libnih.so.1.0.0 in [23:10] schnuffle: maybe a bad burn? [23:10] burned with sonic in Windows XP...loaded it as an iso disk image [23:11] matt___: checked the md5 sum after download? [23:11] Is Unity replacing Gnome? [23:11] no clue what you mean [23:11] Abinadai: PErhaps this? http://www.intowindows.com/extbrowser-access-linux-partition-in-windows/ [23:11] Jordan_U: I get the error: Unknown Command md5sum [23:11] earthling_: unity will be the default desktop UI in 11.04 [23:11] earthling: Yes, in 11.04 [23:11] Starminn, thanks! [23:11] matt___, an MD5 sum is an algorithm to make sure the file you downloaded is downloaded correctly, with no parts corrupted [23:12] ardchoille, but gnome will still be available? [23:12] earthling: TO clarify, though, GNOME will still be around. It just won't be Ubuntu's default. [23:12] ok [23:12] Starminn: Thank you for that :) [23:12] matt___, there are a couple programs for Windows XP that can check to make sure that the md5 is correct on the iso. [23:12] i was just following the directions on the Ubuntu site... i am new to all of this [23:12] nillerz, It's still Unity [23:12] Aelingil: You're sure you spelled it correctly? [23:12] earthling_: Something to look up is "Gnome Shell" -- it is the up-and-coming version of Gnome. (No problem, ardchoille. :) ) [23:12] YankDownUnder, 9.04 did not have anything even mildly resembling unity. [23:13] hey all. why is the internet faster on my win7 partition than ubuntu? [23:13] It was gnome with a plugin that changed the way windows were managed and replaced the desktop with a menu [23:13] Jordan_U: "md5sum(loop0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg" is what i typed in. [23:13] earthling_: I have used both gnome-shell (it's in the repos) and unity.. unity is much better IMHO [23:13] nillerz, "netbook-launcher" [23:14] Aelingil: Try "cat (loop0)/boot/grub/grub.cfg". [23:14] So you can install "netbook-launcher" and that will give you the old version of the Ubuntu Netbook interface? [23:14] matt___, the Ubuntu website has the md5 checksum of the iso [23:14] I am trying to remote control my Ubuntu machine but it isn't working properly. I can remote control it but the client's screen doesn't reflect the changes. If i open a window it won't refresh to show that. How can i fix th is? [23:14] Jordan_U: That did it.. bunch of text.. but i can only see the last 1/10th of the page. [23:15] nillerz, You could always try - I keep my "home" and clients to just straight Gnome (making it look like a Mac, they're all happy) [23:15] you simply need to check the iso you downloaded, and if they are the same, then your iso is the same [23:15] schnuffle: So the disk I burned is useless? [23:15] matt___: your cd doesn't seem to be correct, so you had an error while burning or the download is corrupt, so first check your download and that is alright, check the burning process === am4zin is now known as amazin === Transcendentalis is now known as RWEmersonsGhost [23:15] YankDownUnder, I'd rather get feedback from someone with 10.10, because that's a lot easier. [23:15] matt___: if you have an usb stick available, just use its [23:15] ardchoille, I see [23:15] Jordan_U, I'm trying to edit the grub configuration file(s) [23:15] I am trying to remote control my Ubuntu machine but it isn't working properly. I can remote control it but the client's screen doesn't reflect the changes. If i open a window it won't refresh to show that. How can i fix th is? [23:16] Aelingil: Ok. Try "configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg" again. [23:16] nillerz, Roger that. All my 10.10's are just Gnome. [23:16] Abinadai: What specifically are you trying to change? [23:16] YankDownUnder, if you could try it and tell me what happens that'd be great [23:16] schnuffle: I have none here. I lost the one I had [23:16] Is anyone having problems with their adobe on Chromium? [23:16] hey guys...ive been having a problem since i installed ubuntu, 9 10 and whatever the newest one is... [23:16] I need to resolve windows computer names to their link-local ipv6 addresses, as windows does to other windows computers. can this be done? [23:16] nillerz, I have a machine here that is just finalising a 10.10 installation - I'll muck with it in a bit and see what I can accomplish. [23:17] YankDownUnder, that'd be great, thanks [23:17] ardchoille, If I install gnome shell can I still use gnome panel? switch between the two [23:17] every time i use it, after about 10 or 15 minutes or so, my modem kicks me off. ive tried everything. [23:17] matt___, if you don;t have a usb stick don't listen to anyone who wants you to use one [23:17] does this happen to anyone else? [23:17] Rypervenche: I installed flashplugin-installer on 10.10 and it works great in chromium [23:17] this is where i downloaded from http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download cant find anyhting to do with checking a file [23:17] matt___, do you still have the file you downloaded on the computer? [23:17] earthling_: gnome-shell replaces all of the gnome desktop [23:17] yes [23:18] Jordan_U, I'm trying to edit it because grub has somehow managed to automagically changed it's appearance and functionality. i.e. When I try to go to Maverick, it throws me down to a cl and wants me to login there. after a few seconds it goes to the login screen. wierd behavior [23:18] ardchoille: earthling_: The GNOME Desktop Environment is much more than just a shell. Gnome-shell / Unity just replace the pannels and applications menus. [23:19] earthling_: I wold recommend trying unity first.. I found it quite easy to get used to [23:19] matt___, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes [23:19] this should help [23:19] Jordan_U: thanks for that [23:19] I think Ubuntu should really have taht info on the download page... [23:19] do you have a program for hash-checking? [23:19] Abinadai: That is not an issue with grub. [23:19] That was fun... [23:20] Jordan_U, ok, what could be the issue then? [23:20] does anyone know how to edit ubuntu without using the gui? im trying to modify a livecd, and cant figure out how to change the theme and top panel [23:20] Jordan_U: Sorry about that, dont know what just happened. I got some weird errors and i dont think it worked. [23:20] Abinadai: Something wrong with plymouth most likely, but other than looking kind of ugly it shouldn't hurt anything. [23:21] ardchoille: The problem is there. I'll try restarting. [23:21] SirShmoopy, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/easily-create-custom-ubuntu-live-cd.html [23:21] Jordan_U, what is plymouth? be gentle, I'm new at this. :) [23:21] !plymouth [23:21] Plymouth manages the Ubuntu boot process (before the root filesystem is mounted) and also provides a graphical boot animation. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [23:22] Aelingil: plymouth is the application that handles drawing a fancy splash screen during boot. [23:22] YankDownUnder, Thanks! [23:22] I am trying to remote control my Ubuntu machine but it isn't working properly. I can remote control it but the client's screen doesn't reflect the changes. If i open a window it won't refresh to show that. How can i fix th is? [23:22] matt___: here the md5sum tool http://www.md5summer.org/download.html and here you can find the correct value for your download [23:22] Abinadai: Plymouth is the application that handles drawing a fancy splash screen during boot. [23:22] matt___: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes#10.10 [23:23] astropirate, What are you using? (I use Teamviewer for all my remote clients - just FYI) [23:23] Ubottu won't give me the answer I want -- what's the difference between FloodBot1, 2, 3, and 4? I only ever hear things from 2? [23:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:23] ardchoille, how do I try unity? [23:23] kik, [23:23] lol* [23:23] ubottu: Don't worry, I'm not. Your lack of explanation on this matter is bothering me. :) [23:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:23] earthling_: are you on Ubuntu 10.10? [23:23] earthling_ you install Ubuntu Netbook edition in Softwaremanager. [23:23] Starminn: The others are backups in case one goes down or there is a netsplit. [23:24] Jordan_U: Alright, thanks. :) [23:24] YankDownUnder, I tried Tight VNC and Ultra-VNC for the client. for server i am using what comes with Ubuntu. [23:24] I'm on 10.04 [23:24] Starminn: You're welcome. [23:24] astropirate, Roger that. [23:24] ok, I'm off peeps. Thanks again for all the help. Peace out! [23:24] Aelingil: Do you have a Windows install CD? [23:24] I would use team viewer but he quality sucks on it [23:25] every time i m turning off kdevelop 4 it shows that kdevelop is crash [23:25] astropirate, Hmmm...strange...I've had nothing but great luck with it (for the past 1.5 years) [23:25] astropirate: there is freenx left, have you tried it? [23:25] but actuly i turned it off normaly [23:25] earthling_: try searching the repos for UNE: apt-cache search -n ubuntu|grep netbook [23:25] philip__, is that a permanent change? [23:26] schnuffle, i will try freenx [23:26] Yes it is. [23:26] would it hurt the system if i was to remove vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic and the same version for initrd [23:26] earthling_: you can switch between unity and gnome from the login screen [23:26] It is also used to help ensure proper upgrades, so it is recommended that it not be removed. [23:26] astropirate: it works quite well on small connections [23:26] Jordan_U, I'm sure it is here someplace. [23:27] schnuffle, does it inerface with ubuntu's vnc demon or do i have to install a new one for its protocol [23:27] checking against my downloaded file it is the same [23:27] has anyone modified a livecd before? [23:27] schnuffle, if you don't know top of your head dont' worry about it. i'll look it up :) [23:27] marc_: You can use the package manager to remove all the kernels you want, long as you leave yourself the one you want to use. [23:27] ardchoille, will check, thanks [23:28] astropirate: freenx as its own protocol, normally it's tunneled through ssh [23:28] Aelingil: Do you have any data you want to keep in Ubuntu at the moment? [23:28] schnuffle, ohh and looks like it doens't have a windows client [23:28] which is what i need [23:28] usr13: so the later version is best to keep, or is there a backward compatibility issue? [23:28] schnuffle: it checked the same [23:29] Jordan_U, I was hoping to keep all the modifications i've done on this computer in Ubuntu.. However i did make a .tar backup before updating to 10.10 which is saved on my Windows OS [23:29] astropirate: http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-windows.php [23:29] Jordan_U, So if i need to re-install Ubuntu i guess i can do that. [23:29] schnuffle, haha fail google sent me to wronge page :p [23:29] Opinions on Ubuntu Moblin Remix? [23:29] nillerz: It checked the same [23:30] Okay matt___ [23:30] marc_: The newest verson is the one you are probably using now, (uname -a will tell you), and if you are happy with the way that one preforms, keep it and uninstall the others. [23:30] well that means that the download isn't the problem, how did you burn the disk? [23:30] matt___: so your md5 hash is correct. hmm where there any errors during the cd creation [23:30] Aelingil: Do you have Windows 7? [23:30] also, matt___, what speed did you download at? [23:30] it seemed to burn fine.... gave no error [23:31] matt___, burn at* [23:31] Jordan_U, I belive it is Vista. Let me log in and check. [23:31] Jordan_U, Yeah, it is Vista [23:31] Aelingil: You're still able to boot windows? [23:31] Jordan_U, Yeah. w/ no problems at all. [23:32] no clue... I dont have a speed option. browsed to the image loaction, clicked burn [23:32] usr13: i ran apt-get autoremove and it popped up and asked if i wanted to remove it [23:32] Aelingil: The I would recommend just uninstalling wubi and installing Ubuntu normally by booting from an install CD/USB. [23:32] also, matt___ , what error did you get again when trying to boot? [23:32] "No init found. Try passing init=bootarg." [23:32] and what program did you use to burn? [23:32] alright, let me check on that error... [23:32] ardchoille: That fixed my problem, thank you! [23:32] nillerz, did you mean moblin remix? please tell me that wasnt a typo [23:32] Rypervenche: you're welcome :) [23:32] SonicDigitalMedia Plus V7 [23:33] only thing on this laptop that can burn something [23:33] marc_: Remove what? [23:33] Jordan_U, I was hopeing not to do that, but i think it is going to waste more time trying to fix it then to wipe it. [23:33] SirShmoopy, No, Ubuntu Moblin Remix. It exists. [23:33] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-moblin-remix/releases/9.10/release/ [23:33] Jordan_U, Thank you for your help Jordan. I'll get the newest version downloaded and install it tomorrow. [23:33] nillerz, that makes me happy i think [23:33] hi there [23:34] usr13: vmlinuz -22 generic [23:34] I don't think they have a 10.10 version though... [23:34] I have subscripted to the linux-usb mailinglist [23:34] nillerz: when I was trying to fgure out what it meant... i kept getting so much info that is way beyond me. I dont know console... people were saying it had something to do with the install... i am trying to install this on a brand new hard drive [23:34] is it themed or something? or did they just name it that because they could [23:35] machine crashed... hard drive destroyed. bought new drive, put it in and am trying to install [23:35] but I don't know how to send email to the mailing list. The address there isn't in their website and neither in the mail that is arrived [23:35] matt___, you'll get that, let me try looking for one specific to this condition [23:35] marc_: That is not a complete kernel name and not knowing what you have and don't have, I'm afraid I can't help you. [23:35] Aelingil: You're welcome. [23:35] Hi there [23:36] anyone? [23:36] matt___, most people are solving this error on already installed systems by using a file-system check, "fsck" [23:36] usr13: i have vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic and vmlinuz-2.6.35-25-generic [23:36] Whats the difference between am64 and i386 [23:36] ? [23:36] you probaly won't be able to do that on a CD [23:36] anyone now how to set like 10 ms the KautoClick? [23:36] Vustom: 64bit and 32 bit [23:36] Vustom: One's AMD, the other's Intel. [23:36] marc_: uname -a will tell you what you have now. And as I said before, if you are pleased with the performance of the one you have now, then leave it and remove as many of the others you want. [23:36] so I'm guessing that the burn wasn't as good as it was supposed to be. [23:36] matt___: have you a recent pc or and oldone? found people having isues with old bios [23:36] what CD burning program did you use? [23:36] Vustom: amd64 is 64 bit and i386 is 32 bit [23:37] Sonic Digital Media Plus V7 [23:37] Starminn: That is *not* the difference. [23:37] oh, thanks! [23:37] and does .deb work on both 64 and 32bit [23:37] ? [23:37] usr13: thanks for your answer i understand that it won't effect anything if i was to remove them [23:37] whats .rpm as well? [23:37] Machine for install is a year old... 64 bit Dell Studio 15 series... Ubuntu site says it is certified as a machine that it will work on [23:37] Vustom: rpm is for red hat, fedora, and suse systems, not ubuntu or debian ones [23:37] matt___: use the one offered on the download page and try again [23:37] Jordan_U: My mistake. I thought he said AMD64 vs. i686. :) [23:37] matt___, os CDs are very sensitive and generally won't work if a few bytes didnt copy well [23:38] Vustom: .rpm is Red hat Package Manager and you shouldn't use .rpm packages on ubuntu, ubuntu is .deb based [23:38] marc_: as you see, vmlinuz-2.6.35-25-generic is the newer kernel and if that is the one you are using and you are pleased with ther performance, then leave it and remove the other one if you want. [23:38] ohok thanks :D [23:38] use the one what on the download page? [23:38] Starminn: You would still be mistaken. [23:38] My suggestion is that, if you can, try to burn it again at a slower speed, perhaps with another program. [23:38] im trying to set up an svn server on ubuntu 10.10 any help? [23:38] Vustom: Yeah, .deb is for Debian-based systems which Ubuntu is part of. [23:38] Jordan_U: Really? [23:38] JunkyJames, install openssh-server... done [23:38] And if that gives you the same error, then the problem is obviously hardware related [23:38] matt___: the burning program offered [23:38] I installed TeamSpeak amd64 and couldnt figure out why it didnt work [23:38] Jordan_U: What's the 64-bit Intel? [23:38] JunkyJames, oh... sorry.... my mistake [23:38] I guess i know now :D [23:38] matt___, the one on the download page would probably work great [23:39] make sure you burn at the slowest speed possible [23:39] Whats a .run.bin? [23:39] didnt even see that... grabbing it now [23:39] thank you. [23:39] rumpe1: haha yeah [23:39] once i do that... and burn... this thing should install from CD without much fuss? [23:39] matt___: just realized that its a bit hidden under the show me button [23:39] Starminn: AMD created the 64 bit architecture that was backwards compatible with 32 bit x86 code. Intel's first try at 64 bit was not backwards compatible and flopped. [23:39] if I cant get it going easy... I will just buy another copy of windows [23:40] it should, if it doesn't, then its a hardware issue [23:40] matt___: it should [23:40] OKAY... [23:40] thank you all very much [23:40] JunkyJames, but you can combine ssh with svn for ssh+svn://host [23:40] I'll try this and I'll hopefully come back in saying it worked [23:40] Starminn: Intel now uses the 64 bit architecture pioneered by AMD. So AMD64 refers to either Intel or AMD 64 bit x86. [23:40] Vustom: those are usually some type of binary file. I would check the official repos first to see if the desired software is there [23:40] I hope so too, matt___ [23:40] Is there a way to synchronize linux configuration so that all the programs and preferences on my desktop and laptop behave the same way? [23:41] I used to have a PC and it was old. This was in the days of 8.04 and my computer had 2 cd drives, and both were crap. I had to go through the install a billion times because the CDs would never burn correctly. If the cd doesnt work then its either your bios or your burner. [23:41] Jordan_U: Aha! That would make sense. Okay, thank you very much. And i686 is just a better version of i386, then? Bit-regardless? [23:41] k [23:41] EnigmaticCoder: I think you would have to do that manually, but if you install the same OS on each, it should behave the same way anyhow. [23:41] its a game so i dought it [23:41] :D [23:41] rumpe1: yeah i saw that on a blog somewhere im just not sure if i set up my server correctly :P [23:42] I'm using a fully updated ubuntu 10.10, and every single time I reboot my computer, the theme messes up badly and looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/OqwKO.jpg [23:42] Any ideas as to the cause, and what to do to fix it? [23:42] I can usually fix it by rming ~/.gconf* ~/.gnome2* [23:42] JunkyJames, for ssh+svn you just need a regular ssh-server *iguess* === there-he-is is now known as simon-says [23:42] hmm really? [23:42] git > svn [23:43] poutine: What is messed up? [23:43] Vustom: I am seeing teamspeak on the repos for 10.10 :) [23:43] poutine, Have you tried installing some other theme engines - like aurora, for example? [23:43] Its TeamSpeak 2.0 [23:43] not 3.0 [23:43] gordonjcp: ok well how do i set up git? [23:43] ah [23:43] what does it mean when i try to install ubuntu on my desktop and i get black and green lines right before the installer is done loading from the livecd? [23:43] no YankDownUnder, fairly base system [23:43] dpkg --list |grep aurora comes up with nothing [23:43] i dont really care what i use i just needa manage my projects from outta the house easily [23:43] JunkyJames: https://github.com/ :-) [23:43] and let others work on them too [23:44] JunkyJames: I used to run my own SVN server, then I found I preferred git since I didn't need to actually commit changes to a server [23:44] poutine: Try apt-cache search [23:44] usr13, I don't think I should have to install a theme manager to keep my desktop the way ubuntu ships... === PhilMather is now known as zz_PhilMather [23:44] anyone? [23:44] JunkyJames: then I ran my own git repository server, and it was awesome [23:44] I'm saying aurora is definitely not the cause [23:45] JunkyJames: then eventually I started using github and someone else did all the hard stuff for me [23:45] JunkyJames: for free [23:45] JunkyJames: can't compete with free-and-no-effort [23:45] github lost major respect when they deleted ps3-related projects [23:45] also how they misrepresent total repos (they consider pastes in the pastebin as a repo) [23:46] gordnojcp: yeah i just need something simple i can run off my own server :P [23:46] Hello, does anyone have a Thinkpad T410 or T410i? I want to ask some questions about this notebook. [23:46] JunkyJames: running your own server is fun, but eventually you step back and realise that now you need to Get Things Done... [23:46] ps3 related projects is piracy [23:46] Lint, wrong! [23:46] gordonjcp: yeah sure but i want to do it myself :L [23:46] JunkyJames: fair enough ;-) [23:46] raid93 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1383110 [23:46] poutine: You're currently banned from #ubuntu under a different host. Please part the channel. [23:47] JunkyJames: then have a look at git its really a good tool [23:47] poutine, Every time I do a fresh install, and update it, I change the theme regardless - but that's just me, just my way of setting up the machines - and being that I change and customise the entire theme set (including using Emerald for Compiz), I don't see that issue; I have seen this issue, however, doing just stock installs, and "forcing" the GTK theme through gconf-editor. [23:47] rww, I'm not banned from anywhere, if you feel like banning me, then do so [23:47] philip__: read it twice already, didn't make everthing clear... [23:47] They should work. I have a Lenovo desktop computer that's 7 yrs old. [23:48] Running ubuntu 10.10 [23:48] nillerz: should I burn it slower than max? just in case... [23:48] matt___, slow as possible [23:48] I know this might not be the right place to ask, but I don't actually know where I should be... But it's a small question only :) So, Ubuntu comes with Vinagre as its remote client. Does anyone know about a compatible Windows client, or another client that can be used multiplatform? [23:48] cool... buring [23:48] philip__: That doesn't help me, I have some special questions about Optimus on this laptop [23:48] It should work fine. [23:48] ok cool. I'm actually making a USB startup disk to test Ubuntu Moblin. [23:49] Try it on Live CD> === DeltaFlow_ is now known as DeltaFlow [23:49] philip__: I dont have it yet, I want to make this clear be4 buying this [23:49] Glowball: most vnc platforms work with other software fine, just need a client and server [23:49] can anyone help with an issue i'm having using mulitple monitors? [23:49] Glowball: Tightvnc [23:49] With it being Nvidia, I bet it would work. [23:50] Thanks, I'll have a look [23:50] philip__: There are lots of problems with Optimus on Linux, so I wanted to ask about a BIOS setting I heard of [23:50] im using a laptop with another monitor connected, and there is empty space above the main laptop monitor [23:50] would a virtual machine work to test if an os would work on your hardware? [23:51] SirShmoopy, no...by definition, the hardware is virtualized [23:51] SirShmoopy: Yea, I suppose so, but seems to me LiveCD's do a pretty good job so... that is as far as I usuall go with it. [23:52] well yes, i was wondering how much transfers [23:52] How do you make a service start at boot time? [23:52] raid93 Unfortunately, there is no support for nvidia/intel hybrid graphics in linux yet. Do not install the nvidia driver. [23:52] The most you can do is to disable the nvidia card, to save battery. (the nvidia card actually still runs, even when you work with intel card) [23:52] Is anyone familiar with preseeding/automating an Ubuntu install? I'm following the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization but for some reason it can't chroot to /target to do things like mount /proc [23:52] use services [23:52] soreau: When you install a new service in ubuntu, it will start at boot time. [23:52] soreau, something that doesn't create a service script for ubuntu? [23:53] http://linux-hybrid-graphics.blogspot.com/2010/07/using-acpicall-module-to-switch-onoff.html [23:53] system>adminstration>>services [23:53] darien, can you elaborate? [23:53] darien, preseeding is the only type of installs I do with ubuntu [23:53] usr13: I installed dhcp3 service .. I guess I'll have to reboot and see if you're right [23:53] brb [23:53] dlyneswork: Sure; I've followed the above howto, but it also referenced another script that removes from the CD packages that aren't actually installed on the system you're using to create the image [23:54] soreau: but service is used to activate or deactivate a service. "service - run a System V init script" [23:54] I'm a debian based distro aholic... how do I get off it? [23:54] darien, but you said you're doing preseeding [23:54] dlyneswork: but now, when I boot the image, it gets as far as 'installing the base system' and then errors because it can't do the mount [23:54] Hello, does anyone have a Thinkpad T410 or T410i? [23:54] darien, preseeding afaik, is only applicable to PXE boot installs [23:54] Tigerboy: test sue or fedore :) [23:54] suse [23:54] dlyneswork: nope, you can put a preseed config on an ISO (seems like most Ubuntu images do this already [23:54] Tigerboy, broke some package and see the result [23:54] darien, oh [23:54] raid93, i have a t61p dont think that would help === ali_ is now known as BakedBeanz1111 [23:55] Schnuffle I get the shakes when i do that... [23:55] dlyneswork: well anyway, the problem I'm having is that when I run 'chroot /target mount -t proc proc /proc' (or 'chroot /target /bin/sh') it says 'mount: not found' or '/bin/sh: not found' [23:55] darien, then, if that's the case, you should have some kind of entry in your preseed file that tells it to chroot the cd image [23:55] there's always something I miss but Fedora has gotten pretty good if you spend some time on it [23:55] even though both files exist as e.g. /target/bin/sh and /bin/sh [23:55] darien, are you doing this from your post install? [23:56] no, this is during the regular debian-installer phase [23:56] it gives me the error, then I go into the console on tty2 to try it myself [23:56] soreau: You'll probably need to edit /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf to suit your needs [23:56] Tigerboy: that's thing which better fit into #ubuntu-offtopic [23:56] dlyneswork: obviously I've made an error somewhere but I'm unclear as to where this sort of thing could've gone wrong [23:57] darien, check for the existence of the following in your path: mount, chroot [23:57] darien, also check to see that /bin/sh exists [23:57] ha ok [23:57] can anybody tell me why I can't watch dvd's on my Ubuntu? [23:57] soreau: Do you currently have a dhcp server running on your network now? If so, you probably should turn it off before running the new one. [23:57] darien, you will more than likely need to specify the full path of mount and chroot [23:57] dlyneswork: sure, but the debian installer itself also cannot do what it normally does [23:57] so it's not just me typing something wrong [23:58] !info ubuntu-resrticted-extras | CryonicCore [23:58] CryonicCore: Package ubuntu-resrticted-extras does not exist in maverick [23:58] CryonicCore, you need to install libdvdread4 i believe [23:58] dlyneswork: also, 'chroot' is part of busybox, there's not actually a path to it afaik [23:58] darien, did you create your own boot image? [23:58] dlyneswork: I rebuilt the ISO, yes [23:58] darien, regardless of whether it's part of busybox, there should either be a binary, or a symbolic link to a different binary that provides it [23:59] there is, yeah, it's in /usr/sbin/chroot [23:59] darien, it's not a shell command [23:59] sorry, I wasn't clear on what I meant [23:59] soreau: And you shouldn't need to reboot the computer, the server can be started or stopped when it is running. [23:59] darien, and is /usr/sbin/chroot in your path? [23:59] I shall keep it deb based [23:59] yes [23:59] how to remove unofficial software from ubuntu [23:59] chroot itself is found fine, but when I run it it says whatever I'm trying to exec isn't there
