[00:00] darien, can you show the exact command you're running, and the exact error message? [00:00] Purple screen that says ubuntu... scrolling progress lights underneath. good sign so far [00:00] matt___: fine :) [00:00] dlyneswork: http://ss.corecursion.com//testimage-20110209-160027.png [00:00] how to remov kdevelop 4 [00:01] dlyneswork: there's a screenshot of an example problem [00:01] darien, does /target/bin/sh exist? [00:01] yes, it's in the screenshot [00:01] I'm looking at the tsclient which does indicated in aptitude that it supports citrix, but when I select a protocol, ICA is greyed out -- is this a crippled tsclient -- or is there some switch I need to through to enable the protocol? [00:01] darien, ls -l /target/bin/sh? [00:01] openbees: How did you install it? [00:02] darien, i can't tell from the screenshot whether the file exists or not...I can just see that there's 'something' there [00:02] dlyneswork: here's some more information, I followed the symlinks as well: http://ss.corecursion.com//ubuntu-screenshot-2-20110209-160212.png [00:02] i have no idea [00:02] Installing! Thank you guys very much [00:02] soreau: service dhcp3 status Should tell you if it is running or not. [00:02] matt___: your welcome [00:03] openbees: I'd start with: sudo apt-get remove kdevelop [00:03] darien, can you do this: "/usr/sbin/chroot /target"? [00:03] darien, i.e. without the final '/bin/sh'? [00:03] dlyneswork: chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory [00:04] pici: thanks it works [00:04] darien, that's without the final '/bin/sh'? [00:04] yes [00:04] '/usr/sbin/chroot /bin/sh' [00:04] er [00:04] i am trying to echo hex code to my serial port with this command "echo -e "\x08\x22\x02\x00\x00\x00\xd4" > /dev/ttyUSB0" and it seems to just hang forever until i CNTL^C at which point i get the error "bash: /dev/ttyUSB0: Interrupted system call" What seems to be the problem here? [00:04] '/usr/sbin/chroot /target' [00:04] still having issues playing DVD's on my Ubuntu [00:05] please help me [00:05] CryonicCore: What seems to be the problem? [00:05] hi all, does anyone know how to get spamassasin to delete when it finds a string in email? Like delete when it finds "this is the matching string" [00:05] CryonicCore: if you have drm dvd you need lidvdcss2 [00:05] darien, very weird [00:05] still having issues playing DVD's on my Ubuntu [00:05] dlyneswork: yeah, it's really strange, and I'm not 100% sure what's going on [00:06] darien, try asking your question over in ##linux, because it's not really a ubuntu question, unless you can get your command line to work and not the installer [00:06] darien, also, you can try asking in #ubuntu-installer [00:06] dlyneswork: yeah, well, I'm going to start over and see if it works if I don't trim out packages [00:06] hmm, that might work too [00:06] dlyneswork: thanks for all your help! [00:06] darien, yeah...#ubuntu-installer is where I got directed to go when I was working with preseeding [00:07] darien, I have a local ubuntu mirror which I bootstrap using PXE boot and preseeding [00:07] dlyneswork: nice, I was considering setting up something similar. This is for automated configuration of our dev VMs (which we have to blow away and restart fairly often) so it might be useful. [00:07] darien, yeah...our use is similar [00:08] how to uninstall package which r not in ubuntu software center [00:08] darien, I need to be able to configure multiple developer boxes, viewer boxes, and complete clusters [00:08] or which r instaaled by after downloading [00:08] darien, so, one of them is to deploy a master node, which in turn pxe boots eight slave nodes :o [00:08] nice [00:09] usr13: Yep, you're right. Thanks [00:09] schnuffle, I have libdvdcss2 installed [00:09] darien, yeah...a combination of preseeding and drbl (http://drbl.sf.net) works quite nicely [00:09] dlyneswork: we're lucky in that we only need one image format, at least on our LAN, and then I'm just building config/deploy scripts for our actual production machines (which are installed as stock Ubuntu by Softlayer) [00:09] CryonicCore: and what happens when you try to play it in vlc? [00:10] darien, yeah, for me, I need to keep an install of jaunty for developers and master nodes, a lucid for developers and viewers and master nodes, and a meercat for viewers [00:10] how to uninstall wingide [00:10] openbees, apt-get remove wingide? [00:10] soreau: NP [00:10] dlyneswork: envy. We're using Hardy, and have to custom-compile a lot because the stock stuff is too new for us [00:11] openbees 'sudo dpkg -i pakagename' [00:11] Anybody know where tomboy keeps new entries to its dictionary? [00:11] darien, yeah...if you're doing a lot of post-install stuff, you might find your predicament is a blessing in disguise [00:11] oops, mines install [00:11] darien, lucid does not play nice with post-installs [00:11] darien, assuming you need to do a two-stage install [00:11] darien, if it's a single stage install, it's not an issue [00:12] dlyneswork: well we do the standard preseed config (default packages, locale, etc.) then at the end run a script to do all the compile/install/etc. for us, but I can't get it to boot that far [00:12] does not works [00:12] its 'sudo apt-get remove pkgname' or 'sudo apt-get purge pkgname' [00:12] dlyneswork> i tried but didn't worked [00:13] hi all, does anyone know how to get spamassasin to delete when it finds a string in email? Like delete when it finds "this is the matching string" [00:13] darien, yeah, so you're doing a single stage, with a post-install [00:13] yeah [00:13] CryonicCore: Try: mplayer dvd:// [00:13] still can't play dvds [00:13] darien, I have to do a normal single stage install with a post-install, that drops a big huge tarball on, that then does a second stage install after the reboot [00:13] nichos: you might get more detailed answers in #spamassassin [00:13] CryonicCore: What happens when you issue the above command? [00:13] nichos, Have you checked in #spamassassin mate? [00:14] dlyneswork: was thinking about doing that as well. Also was thinking about just implementing puppet and letting puppet handle making everything work properly [00:14] thanks guys:) [00:14] openbees, did you install wingide from source, or from a binary installer, instead of a .dpkg, or apt-get/aptitude/synaptic? [00:14] openbees, if you did, then you're screwed...you'll have to manually clean it out [00:14] dlyneswork: from installer [00:15] I have ubuntu 10.10 server running on a linode, reverse dns is set up for the box as well as forward dns. if i wanted to connect to irc through it so that my hostmask is that of my linode, how would i accomplish it? [00:15] so what i should exectely do [00:15] its not a program that is cusing the problem. its a plugin and I dont know what [00:15] openbees, you'll have to go through and manually remove it, unless the binary installer came with an uninstaller [00:15] CryonicCore: What happens when you issue the above command? mplayer dvd:// [00:16] darien, yeah...no idea what puppet is [00:16] where i should go [00:16] can u please tell me [00:16] darien, i had to do a two stage install, because preseeding wouldn't allow me to install all the packages I needed to install [00:16] dlyneswork: basically, you set up a central server with configuration files for each server (or set of servers) based on hostname, and when puppet runs (on boot, and checks again every few minutes) it figures out the state it should be in and sets the system to be in that state [00:16] CryonicCore: What happens when you issue command: mplayer dvd:// ? [00:16] user13, it gives me a whole buch of stuff [00:17] openbees, command prompt, gather up a lot of patience, use common sense (if you have any), and find the files that wingide installed [00:17] dlyneswork: so if the config file says 'libfoobar2' needs to be installed for an essential service, it figures out how to do that (e.g. apt on Ubuntu) and installs it [00:17] ha ha ha [00:17] ok [00:17] anyone using backtrack? [00:17] CryonicCore: So, look at it and see if you find a clue as to what is lacking in your system. [00:17] darien, ah, ok...cool [00:17] dlyneswork: then all your configuration stays on one central server and the nodes reconfigure themselves automatically when you change a config file (or an include) [00:17] it's great for deploying clusters [00:17] user, No css library available. [00:17] says that [00:17] darien, yeah, for me, I set it up once, and forget it [00:18] darien, i dont' want it updating stuff later [00:18] user13, No css library available. [00:18] well if you don't change the config file it won't :p [00:18] darien, i need it feature frozen (including buggy installs) [00:18] CryonicCore, Have you installed libdvdcss2? [00:18] dlyneswork: yeah, this is for keeping homogeny among a cluster [00:18] anyways...gotta run [00:18] done work :) [00:18] ttfn [00:19] CryonicCore: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [00:19] YankDownUnder, I dont think that u can install just that. [00:20] Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. [00:20] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [00:20] is only available from another source [00:20] thats what I get when I did sudo install [00:20] !dvd [00:20] Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

Took a look and there is indeed a tomboy directory in .gconf/apps/tomboy, but no dictionary files. [00:36] whats a decent serial terminal emulator?

[01:03] rjg_: or /media/cdrom0 [01:03] usr13: It's gone... :-( [01:03] how antivirus effects ubuntu ....does it works same as with windows [01:03] openbees, linux antivirus programs mostly eschew any of the other features windows ones have apart from checking files to see if they are bad [01:03] openbees: antiivirus software is similar across all OSes, though for linux there aren't a lot written [01:03] so no firewalls, no process checking, just a program that scans files [01:04] usr13: I deleted the printer and tried to reinstall it. But it can't find it anymore (network). May it's just something with the router. I have to trie it. [01:04] usr13: what do you think? most likely? [01:04] what kids of viruses it detects in linux [01:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus gives a nice overview and comments [01:04] thunkee: Thank you for that link [01:04] VisualAssassin, like usr13 said you need to tell us what is slowing thing up for you , if you type top in the terminal it shows you the programs using your resources === vivid` is now known as vivid [01:05] is there a reason whenever i try to echo data to a serial line, i have to control c it and it gives me the error "bash: /dev/ttyUSB1: Interrupted system call" [01:05] openbees, mostly rootkits, though there are special programs to look for them [01:05] like rkhunter [01:05] and chkrootkit [01:05] hola [01:06] test [01:06] thanks for link === don is now known as Guest87445 [01:08] usr13:no, that also doesn't work :-( [01:08] now the printer is gone for ever... [01:09] how can I hop into a root shell on login? I already have it set so I can use sudo without a password [01:10] add to the startup gnome-terminal -e "sudo su" [01:11] sudo without a password < sounds like a really bad idea [01:11] how about for headless logins [01:11] SoulPropagation1: I believe the best thing regarding a root shell is to only use it when needed. Staying in a root shell can lead to problems if you forget it is a root shell. "Man who play in root eventually kill tree" [01:11] agree with ardchoille [01:12] xangua: I agree [01:12] yeah but u wont learn anything if u dont fuck around in root [01:12] !language | xpoferens [01:12] xpoferens: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:12] u gotta chop a few trees to make a clearing [01:12] I know what I'm doing and I don't like repeatedly typing sudo. [01:12] I have a netgear wireless N300 router that I want behind a Lynksys wired router. I have used www.routerlogin.com (and .net) as well as 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 but the IP addresses just get me into the Lynksys and the "web addresses" just take me to a "BS" netgear help page . I cant log into the wireless to setup the security. any network gurus ? [01:13] type sudo su [01:13] @SoulPropagation1 [01:13] SoulPropagation1: « sudo -i » will give you a root prompt (preferred to « sudo su ») [01:13] SoulPropagation1: sudo -i :is the proper way to get a root prompt [01:13] bombadil_rocks: right. I'm doing sudo -s when I log in but I'd like to have it automatically do it [01:13] bombadil_rocks, no, it would be "sudo -i" [01:13] not sudo su [01:14] doesn't set the users' environment vars the way you suggested. [01:14] SoulPropagation1: what's the point. Do you really need to be root all the time? I doubt it, but if you disagree, just unlock the root account and do as you wish [01:14] man sudo goes into more detail. [01:14] I'm using a xubuntu variant. When I change my keyboard layout to dvorak, I can't drag, close, or maximize windows -- it's like I'm holding a meta key [01:15] alright well. Later. [01:16] mouche, im no guru but try disconnecting the lynksys router and try to access the netgear router! [01:17] no internet connection then [01:17] anyone ever have a ubuntu 10.10 server (on mdadm raid5 array) boot and say its missing a drive and boot degraded but then give you a login prompt and after you log in it says the array is just fine? [01:18] jrib, yes I do. if I didn't need to do administration stuff then I'd just let the computer sit there and do its thing [01:18] http://pastebin.com/WnKRKViB can some1 tell me why mounting my etx3 fs takes about 100 seconds? [01:18] i've set my editor with "sudo update-alternatives --config editor" and EDITOR=vi to vi yet freaking crontab -e keeps putting me into nano, can someone please tell me how to fix this? [01:19] mouche, just until you configure the netgear router! or figure out how to access it [01:19] lol that is the problem, I cant access it ..... will look elsewhere, thanks [01:19] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzIdQS35N8s [01:19] sudoer: have a look at ~/.selected_editor [01:19] !!

[01:20] how do i install it on the usb [01:20] quakelive [01:20] benedict: long mount times often means the drive is dying. you might wanna make sure everything is backed up [01:21] anyway, can someone tell me how to automatically run sudo -s on login? adding it to the end of my .bashrc makes it impossible to log out without closing my ssh client === bencahill_ is now known as bencahill === canon is now known as Acid190 === Anthraxium is now known as Anthraxium|Detac [01:22] edward teach: ill try that and see whatsup [01:22] SoulPropagation1: hm, tle paotp is 2 years old or so... i use it often, but never carry it when the hdd is on... i'll use fcheck and other tools to investigate. hope your hint is false... [01:23] SoulPropagation1: hm, the laptop... [01:23] I issue 'iptables -t NAT -L' and get 'iptables v.1.4.4: can't initialize iptables table 'NAT': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?) on Ubuntu-Server amd64 10.10 [01:24] It's clean installation.

[01:25] whats a good IM Client for ubuntu other than pidgin (it seems to lock up my ASUS laptop) and Kopete [01:25] SoulPropagation1: run « sudo -i » as your ssh command :( [01:25] lwizardl: empathy?

If you have rebooted since installing drivers, then disregard my last [02:06] tefx, have you tryed going into System -> Preferences -> Multimedia System Selector and changing the defauly input to OSS [02:07] jrib: http://pastebin.com/xgQdY6cT [02:07] Alright, thanks. [02:07] teddyb: reboot, if X fails again, pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log [02:08] PetePorty: well powertop will tell you about devices/irq's gone nuts and software burning cpu, that might not get at the root of it by itself though; but it's the first things to check [02:08] i dotn have multi media system selectior [02:08] ok [02:08] i aitn usign netbook remix tho [02:08] Any reason my ubuntu only runs in low graphics mode [02:09] i think ohsix is ignoring me [02:09] panick: Which ubuntu version are you using? Which graphics card do you have? Have you installed video drivers if needed? We need a bit more info. [02:09] 都要说英文？ [02:09] can someone help me out with grub ive been fighting with it all day [02:10] how do you set up subversion server? [02:10] ohsix: I recently (only my last reboot, which I've done a lot since the "lag") got an error message of irq 19 being dissabled. [02:10] JunkyJames: For what kind of access? [02:10] panik: Which ubuntu version are you using? Which graphics card do you have? Have you installed video drivers if needed? We need a bit more info. [02:10] how do i turn grub2 on, i installed it, set it up, i have another os installed on a seperate partition(freeBSD) but grub will not show itself [02:11] KirkMcDonald: i just would like to have multiple people working on a website i have and thought it might be good to have svn (or simmilar) [02:11] JunkyJames: Sure, but, via ssh? HTTP? [02:11] I'm using guake and it just stopped working [02:11] can anyone help? [02:11] either i guess [02:12] but http is preferable [02:12] python , c or c++ which one is best to learn for ubuntu development?? [02:12] JunkyJames: ssh is the easy one. [02:12] ok [02:12] ardchoille: sorry i am a noob with ubuntu yet.. it as a ati card my sure what model though and in synaptic it says i do have drivers installed.. how do i check wh [02:12] JunkyJames: If you have svn installed and they have ssh access, svn+ssh:// will Just Work. [02:13] KirkMcDonald: so would you be able to do the ssh way from a windows client? [02:13] How to solve "BOOTMGR missing" problem using Live CD? [02:13] python , c or c++ which one is best to learn for ubuntu development?? [02:13] panik: I'm not sure, I just wanted to encourage you to add some more info to your question, it might help others help you [02:13] how do i switch between alsa and pulseaudio? [02:14] JunkyJames: Yes. [02:14] JunkyJames: I know that TortoiseSVN supports it, at the very least. [02:14] openbees: I would say python , pygtk but that info may be old [02:14] ardchoille: lol thanks man well i figured out i am running 9.10 lol [02:14] KirkMcDonald: oh well i was gonna use tortoise anyway [02:15] Panik_: you may want to upgrade to 10.04 or 10.10 and see if the problem persists [02:15] KirkMcDonald: so what do you need to do to set it up? [02:15] tefx, my mic work! so maybe there is some config difference's that you may want from my system! [02:15] ardchoille :i am going to try that... [02:15] KirkMcDonald: ive only ever used it from a clients perspective [02:16] edwardteach: that didn't seem to do it. it always gets stuck trying to connect to the wifi network forever. the little icon just keeps animating. [02:16] JunkyJames: First you need to create a repository. [02:16] python , c or c++ which one is best to learn for ubuntu development?? [02:16] JunkyJames: "svnadmin help create" for more info on that. [02:17] openbees: the one you know [02:17] openbees: a lot of things in ubuntu are python/pygtk [02:17] i'll repeat my question since it has been a while [02:18] i have a problem with my wifi where, after closing the lid on my laptop, upon reopening network manager fails to reconnect to my wireless network. it works again if i restart my computer. is there a way i can fix this, either permanently or with some kind of quick fix that will prevent me from having to restart my laptop? [02:18] JunkyJames: Are you familiar with putty and pageant at all? [02:18] KirkMcDonald: not really [02:18] adnap: will it reconnect if you do it manually? [02:18] KirkMcDonald: ive used putty for basic ssh connections [02:18] JunkyJames: Then never mind that for now. Just know that TortoiseSVN can use pageant. === Anthraxium is now known as Anthraxium|Detac [02:19] JunkyJames: http://matttrent.com/articles/how-use-ssh-agent-windows-tortoisesvn [02:19] adnap, have you checked your log files ? [02:19] KirkMcDonald: ok well im not massivly fussed on the windows perspective for now, as long as i know it can be done :P [02:20] JunkyJames: Anyway, to connect to your svn repository, you'd point TortoiseSVN at: svn+ssh://username@host/path/to/svn/repo [02:20] maybe what aspire one do you have edwardteach [02:20] tefx, d255 [02:20] I need some pointers Had hard drive issue, ran fsck found some bad stuff alot of it in the python files. Fixed that. Now anything that imports a python lib throws and error no module named * [02:21] ohsix: i'm not sure what manually means to you. i've tried reselecting the network i want to connect to, and i just tried restarting network manager. neither seems to work and it is always stuck trying to connect with the wifi icon animating indefinitely. [02:21] Any pointers on how to reinstall python? apt-get -- reinstall doesn't seem to fix it [02:21] hello all, does anyone know if xfce-battery-plugin will work with lxde? i'm currently running salix os lxde and there is no batter plugin. i tried installing xfce-battery-plugin but it does not appear as applet for lxpanel [02:21] so pretty much the same im on a d260 [02:21] edwardteach: no. which log files? [02:21] edwardteach, pm [02:21] fredjiles: debsums can tell you what packages broke [02:21] how can iget source code of ubuntu [02:21] tefx, ok [02:21] is it possible to understand it at beginers level [02:21] !source | openbees [02:21] openbees: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [02:22] adnap: ok, then something is off in limbo, can you post dmesg after a suspend and trying to connect to the ap to a pastebin? [02:23] ohsix: i didn't understand most of that. you want me to past the output of a program called dmesg at the point where i'm having the problem? [02:23] jrib: http://pastebin.com/xA73E0Q6 [02:23] ohsix: *paste [02:23] ubottu: PAGE NOT FOUND [02:23] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:23] ohsix: is ap access point? [02:24] adnap: yes accesspoint, dmesg is a command you run in a terminal to see some kernel log messages [02:24] KirkMcDonald: ok sweet i think it might be working! [02:24] Great. [02:24] for some reason my shell isn't recognizing/using /home/user/.bashrc. anyone know why that might be and how can i fix it? [02:24] openbees: See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [02:25] !dmesg | adnap [02:25] adnap: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. [02:25] ohsix: okay, so you only want the output after trying to reconnect? 'cause there is a lot of output. can you describe exactly what i should do up to the point where i should post the output of dmesg? my wifi is currently not working. are you saying i should suspend my computer again, then retry connecting, and then after it fails posting the output of dmesg starting from when i suspended it? [02:25] i ahve no panel, how do i add a panel? === halpbatman_ is now known as halpbatman [02:26] adnap: all of the output, preferably after it has been suspended and manually attempted to reconnect [02:26] grkblood: How do you not have a panel? Is it hidden? Did the panel crash? Can you log out and back in and see your panel? [02:26] ohsix: i don't want to post all of the output. it looks like is had my MAC address and a bunch of other identifying information. [02:27] ohsix: *has [02:27] i accidently deleted it [02:27] grkblood: then y ou should have at least one panel left. Right click it and choose New panel [02:27] nope [02:27] there is no panel [02:27] nothing is up top [02:27] ohsix: why would all of the output be necessary? much of it seems unrelated. i guess if you choose not to help me because of this i would understand, but i'd rather not post too much personal information. [02:27] i am considering buy the pangolin performance laptop, which is geared for linux [02:28] grkblood: afaik, you can't delete the last panel. is there anything in the lower screen edge? [02:28] ohsix, will debsums replace them or just out put the list [02:28] i was wondering if someone can tell me if i can install windows into the machine and set up a dual boot [02:28] yea, open windows [02:28] top panel is completely gone [02:28] does the hardware for pangolin performance allows the installation of windows? [02:28] grkblood: that's a panel. right click an empty spot on it and choose New Panel [02:28] adnap: none of it is useful or personally identifiable really; but all of it is to check for other problems, right now what's happening is decidedly odd [02:28] grkblood: that line of windows icons along the bottom is a penl [02:29] k [02:29] fredjiles: it can give you a list of files that have changed since they were installed; you can use that list to automatically reinstall them all [02:29] now i need my options back [02:29] !grub2 [02:29] ross_: you will need reinstall grub; netx time you pretend dualboot, install windows first [02:29] 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 [02:29] grkblood : try this http://www.watchingthenet.com/restore-panels-in-ubuntu-back-to-their-default-settings.html [02:29] grkblood: right click the new panel at the top and choose "add to panel" [02:29] ok [02:29] xangua: so the pandolin performance does allow windows installation? [02:29] openbees: he doesn't need to do that [02:29] no idea what pandolin is ross_ [02:30] xangua: let me show you [02:30] openbees: Ah, that might be an option, my bad [02:30] ohsix, how do I get the list. It is just outputting a bunch of stuff to the stdout. Should I pipe that through grep and log it ? [02:30] xangua: http://www.system76.com/product_info.php?cPath=28&products_id=100 [02:30] ardchoille: dont mess with me [02:30] lolz [02:30] fredjiles: pass -s i think, it'll make it only report errors [02:30] xangua: it's a laptop that is designed for linux users [02:30] openbees: my misunderstanding, sorry about that :) [02:31] its ok dear i was just kidding [02:31] xangua: i would like to show if it's possible to set up a dual boot with windows [02:31] sorry, i have to do this another time. i've run out of time to get this working tonight. thanks anyhow. [02:31] xangua: are the specs for the laptop "workable" with windows OS? [02:32] ohsix, Thank you very much you are right!! should have done --help and figured it out myself;) [02:32] ardchoille, i used to have a network indicator up there, i dont see it in the add to panel [02:32] how how i get that [02:32] ross_: that just says has ubuntu preinstalled, not for linux only, as any other pc you can run whaterer you want [02:32] grkblood: indicator applet? [02:32] already added that [02:32] grkblood: or network applet? [02:32] its not there [02:32] xangua: so windows isn't hardware specific, you're saying? [02:33] fredjiles: some packages wont have sums, but it will tell you; and iirc next time they're installed debsums will automatically generate sums [02:33] does anyone know if xfce-battery-plugin will work in lxde? [02:33] grkblood:enable notification [02:33] xangua: i thought there are certain requirements to run windows on a machine [02:33] ross_: Maybe you should ask a Windows channel...? [02:33] xangua: hardware specific [02:33] rww: no i want to use linux and windows [02:33] rww: i was looking around for the best laptop to buy [02:33] thanks [02:34] grkblood:from add to panel enable notification area [02:34] yea [02:34] ohsix, great the list is long:( [02:34] i got it [02:34] thanks [02:34] ross_: Your current conversation is roughly equivalent to me asking ##windows whether Ubuntu will work on my netbook. [02:35] sound-indicator somehow got deleted when i updated to 10.10 [02:35] jrib: you still there? [02:35] i got it back now [02:35] grkblood:mension the name u r conserning [02:35] fredjiles: better than wondering :] [02:35] how can I load program [02:35] KirkMcDonald: thanks heaps for your help man! [02:35] how can I load program 'ushare' on system startup? [02:35] fredjiles: some of those packages will be able to be manually verified [02:35] openbees, you know anything about arecord? [02:36] anyone know why i get ALSA lib pcm.c:2208:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM copy when i type arecord -d 10 -f cd -t wav -D copy foobar.wav [02:36] grkblood:can u explain in detail please [02:36] grkblood: theres no device or plug called copy, -D tells it what device to use [02:37] ohsix, ive defined copy in my ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf file [02:37] i have no ~./asoundrc file like the man page says [02:37] grkblood: perhaps it's a bad definition? The command you gave is an exact one of the examples in man arecord [02:37] messing with that stuff is kind of out of the scope of ubuntu help, you might find someone that'll help you; but you could also try #alsa [02:38] k [02:38] will do [02:38] chances are whatever you're trying to do is verrry easy to do with pulseaudio [02:39] hey guys i need some help [02:39] Well, folks, my Kindle is calling me.. can't wait to finish this book. Back later. [02:39] when ubuntu 10.10 starts up and i run terminal. the transparency effect doesn't work [02:39] then i run compiz --replace [02:39] and it fixes the problem [02:39] but when i reboot [02:39] same problem occurs [02:40] anyone knows what's going on? [02:40] halpbatman: you need to put fusion icon in your startup applications [02:40] ardchoille: what's that? [02:40] halpbatman: sounds like it got switched to another WM, open the appearance applet in system -> preferences, then change visual effects to "normal" or extra [02:40] ohsix: it's already in normal [02:41] then change it to none and back to normal :D [02:41] halpbatman: I can walk you through it if you open System > Preferences > Startup applications [02:41] halpbatman: I had to do it too [02:41] ardchoille: k === MC8 is now known as MC8|away [02:42] ardchoille: what do i do next? [02:42] halpbatman: in the Startup Programs, click the "Add" button [02:42] you don't _need_ the fusion icon, picking the wm can be done manually or by the appearance applet; if something else is changing it then just changing it back is going to be a mess [02:42] k [02:42] this is a hack [02:42] halpbatman: Name: compiz, Command: fusion-icon, Comment: optional [02:42] halpbatman: Click the Add button and you're done === tangzedong is now known as teir [02:42] how can i add a window switcher in awn [02:43] ardchoille: k ty [02:43] halpbatman: Problem should be gone on reboot [02:43] ardchoille: one more thing [02:43] halpbatman: you're welcome [02:43] ardchoille: did you ever figure out why you had to do that or did you stop when you clobbered it the silly way [02:43] ardchoille: i was using guake. it was working fine but it won't start [02:43] ohsix: asked bunches of times but never got an answer [02:43] ah [02:44] ohsix: Let me know if you find an easier way to do that [02:44] ardchoille: any idea how to fix it? [02:44] halpbatman: no, I can only think of either guake doesn't play well with compiz or it crashed and needs to be restarted [02:44] ardchoille: find out what's changing /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager [02:44] besides the appearance applet, that is [02:44] ardchoille: i tried reinstalling but doesn't work :( [02:45] to all :how can i add a window switcher in awn [02:45] ardchoille: it's weird cause it was working fine before [02:45] ohsix: hmm.. I'll have to look into that, thank you very much [02:45] halpbatman: does it only do that after you do compiz --replace ? [02:45] ardchoille: np [02:46] i want delete my bottom panel and when i minimize my window it should go into awn tray .......how can i achive this [02:46] ardchoille: but like i said; barring some weird app plugging away at changing it, the appearance applet should be the only thing [02:46] Trying to create an archive of the contents of /var/log/dist-upgrade/, something is preventing the archiver from adding files to the archive, resulting in failure. Ideas? [02:46] ardchoille: no it just doesn't work period [02:46] I'm having trouble making a directory. Is this correct? mkdir var/www/bcc/ [02:46] ohsix: oh, I agree, it's weird [02:46] ardchoille: but it stopped working when i noticed the transparency effect stopped working [02:47] chovynz: u should on root prompt [02:47] halpbatman: I'm afraid I don't have any idea other than something between it and compiz [02:48] ardchoille: k thx for the help === teir is now known as TangZedong [02:48] chovynz:sorry i was wrong ....u should in bcc directory first [02:49] !msg ubottu !pavucontrol [02:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:49] !msg ubottu !pavucontrol [02:49] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:49] !pavucontrol [02:49] ohsix: in the Visual Effects tab on Appearance Properties, "None" is selected but all options are greyed out and I know I'm running compiz [02:49] tefx: I think you meant /msg ubottu... [02:49] openbees: how can i be in that directory if it doesnt exist yet? [02:49] Alternatively, how do I add multiple attachments to a bug report to launchpad? [02:49] ohsix: I'm running the latest unity desktop and it requires compiz [02:49] ardchoille: ok that might be a thing of its own, if you try and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop does it offer to install any packages? [02:50] ahh unity [02:50] arbitrary: email the bug [02:50] chovynz: so u should in www directory [02:50] maco: Any place to get standardized format for email bug reports? [02:50] ohsix: it offers to install cups, which I removed today, and that's all [02:50] chovynz:or simply go to filesystem's www directory and create a folder [02:51] arbitrary: send an email to the bug number @bugs.launchpad.net with all the attachments attached and they'll go [02:51] openbees: I'm in terminal viah ssh [02:51] maco: Interesting, thanks. [02:51] maco: GPG signing. [02:51] ardchoille: the stuff is in flux wrt: unity; i wouldn't be surprised if it was up in the air in that regard [02:51] arbitrary: there is an email interface but my firefox just crashed [02:51] rww: only to issue commands i think [02:51] rww: commenting & adding attachments don't require it [02:52] Hello everyone [02:52] ohnoes`: It runs rather nice.. though I'd get used to it now and be ready for 11.04 [02:52] how do i get to root login? I thought it was 'root [02:52] maco: ah [02:52] or is it exit? [02:52] Does anyone know of a good howto or souce of a config file for dante-client? [02:52] ohsix: It runs rather nice.. though I'd get used to it now and be ready for 11.04 [02:52] ardchoille: if you can find out you and halpbatman are having the same root problem it'd probably be worth filing a bug [02:52] ya i tried it in alpha1, it's keen [02:52] can someone point me in the direction of how to get Maverick to recognize and use my laptop fingerprint reader? [02:52] Looks like they'll be getting some redundancies. [02:52] arbitrary: to do things like change status and package name and stuff you need to use commands from https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface which as rww pointed out require signing the mail [02:52] ohsix: Good to know, I'll file a bug if I can figure it out [02:53] #alsa aint awake it seems [02:53] chovynz: let me try [02:53] Hey guys! [02:53] Just got Ubuntu [02:53] and I must say [02:53] I love it [02:53] maco: so I can just send attachments anyway to 716219@bugs.launchpad.net ? [02:54] I love it when people come to Ubuntu :D [02:54] syphirx: Congratulations, you've just become a member of the 21th century! [02:54] how can i see someone joined my server [02:54] syphirx: 10.04 or 10.10? [02:54] I've been using Windows 7 for the longest time and I loved it (for compatibility and gaming) but I got fed up with it [02:55] usr13: 10.10 [02:55] is there anything better than watching star trek episodes on Maverick? it's better than sex [02:55] brb reboot [02:55] <^Phantom^> I need to run ubuntu more often. [02:55] Interestingly, I have the worst problems with Wine. [02:55] <^Phantom^> It's installing 262 updates <_< [02:55] usr13: although I'm still going to have 7 dual-booted [02:55] Like, an app with Platinum compatibility CTDs on start. [02:55] <^Phantom^> 272* [02:56] ^Phantom^: sounds like a good time for lunch :) [02:56] syphirx: Well, I've been using Linux a long time now. I find almost nothing I need MS Windows for. [02:56] ^Phantom^: you can get the update applet to download them in the background [02:56] arbitrary: yep should work [02:56] i have unmet dependancies and some programs are not installable what gives? [02:56] syphirx, I still use wn 7 64bit but only when I need to. and it's getting less and less that I need to. (windows honey, you've been good to me over the years, but now, you've grown old and fat. I gotta go now) [02:56] Sent, waiting to see it updated. [02:57] !ot | Abinadai [02:57] Abinadai: #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! [02:57] I think the only thing that stops me from just formatting it, is iPod developments in jailbreaking [02:57] syphirx: One thing is for sure, Linux is a lot easier to maintain. [02:57] usr13: it seems like it. no need for bloated software [02:57] jeez, you didn't have to tell on me for making one statement. [02:57] syphirx: My smart phone is an android :) [02:57] was two and yes I did [02:57] can someone point me in the direction of how to get Maverick to recognize and use my laptop fingerprint reader? [02:58] Ubuntu is a funny thing. I get it set up and then go away and leave it alone because it works. a month or two later I come back to it to do something else, and I forget how to do things. [02:58] Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me get out of tty on boot [02:58] I figure my problem is something in my third party software, but I can't think of anything I have installed which would affect something like a distro upgrade. [02:58] usr13: I wish I had Android but I'm stuck with a crappy phone and an iPod Touch [02:58] <^Phantom^> ohsix, I prefer to update manually, just how I am. [02:58] syphirx: And I just entered the smart phone wold about 4 months ago. [02:58] usr13: although I plan on using Bootlace to dualboot Android when they support the 4th gen [02:59] chovynz: [02:59] ^Phantom^: you still can, it'll just download them === halpbatman_ is now known as halpbatman [02:59] I've edited /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us and added a new layout "Dvorak international (AltGr dead keys)" that I made. However, it's not showing up under Keyboard Preferences. [02:59] can anyone help me get out of tty? [02:59] usr13: I love mobile devices. did you root yours? [03:00] xs1: What is the problem? [03:00] syphirx: No, not yet. [03:00] ardchoille: it didn't fix the problem [03:00] chovynz: i did these things 1-open terminal 2- cd /var/www 3- now i m in www directory 4 - mkdir (directory name) .......and folder created ....thats all [03:00] xs1: Ctrl+Alt+F8? [03:00] i uninstalled ati drivers, and whenever I boot it goes straight to tty now [03:00] xs1: Ctrl-ALt-F7 what your looking for? [03:00] tried that [03:00] or F8 [03:00] Huh. It couldn't be proprietary java, could it? [03:00] !killx [03:01] hmm, what's the shortcut instead of ctrl+alt+bksp? [03:01] hi! I've been working on an ubuntu customization script for a few days. Everytime i run it i restore a fresh install of maverick, and have to download all the packages. Is there a way i can save the packages i've downloaded, so that i can pull them locally, instead of wasting canonicals bandwidth (not to mention a ton of time)? [03:01] xs1: Well, you should have about 8 or 9 to chose from. [03:01] openbees: I did cd /var/www and it says file doesn't exist, yet I can browse to that exact folder in a separate file-manager. [03:01] 8 or 9 what [03:01] xs1: ttys [03:01] lithpr: they're available in /var/cache/apt/archive after, you can do a partial mirror too [03:02] That's the only thing I can figure, which will prove incredibly irritating. [03:02] xs1: Usually only 7 tho [03:02] usr13: what do you mean [03:03] ardchoille: fusion icon didn't work [03:03] Anything I should install or do? [03:03] ardchoille: i still have to restart compiz to fix transparency issue [03:03] Just installed this so I'm not sure if theres anything I should get [03:03] ohsix, wow, there they are. Now if i copy that dir to a fresh install, will the system notice that they are available locally? [03:03] xs1: Well, if you are on the first one and you hold Ctrl and ALt keys and hit F2, you'll be on the second one... etc.. etc...

[03:04] openbees: sudo [03:05] chovynz: sudo [03:05] djhash, well, here's what i do. i install winff, set it up to do what i want. there is an option in the program to get the command line command that it is going to use [03:05] Hello [03:05] chovynz: u can do this as normal user too ; i tried that way also === jack is now known as Guest9732 [03:05] I was wondering where the "persistent" live cd's store data, and how to ensure the deletion of that data after a certain ammount of usage [03:06] djhash, these commands (very) often work even when winff itself fails [03:06] ah there we go. thanks. [03:06] usr13: thanks [03:06] chovynz: If you need to use a command that requires root priviledges, precede it with sudo === matthew is now known as Guest32549 [03:07] chovynz:u welcome ; u can just go to www directory and create a new directory [03:07] lithpr: Does it have an option to tell ffmpeg to complete a partially transcoded file? [03:07] usr13: Yeah, I knew that. I thought it would create a var/www under my home dir which is not what i wanted. thanks. [03:07] I've edited /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us and added a new layout "Dvorak international (AltGr dead keys)" that I made. However, it's not showing up under Keyboard Preferences. [03:07] lithpr: I'd rather not have it restart from the very beginning.

[03:08] winehq.org [03:08] ubaantu: It will only store on RAM, unless you tell it otherwise and set up a HD storage area for it to use. [03:08] lithpr: so.. i guess there is either no option, or none you are aware of. [03:09] djhash, none that i am aware of [03:09] I mean, from the Ubuntu software center or from the site? [03:09] usr13: but whenever i boot the live cd changes are there, does that mean some sectors of the ram are written or rather that some sectors of my hard disk are? [03:09] djhash, which doesn't mean it can't be done [03:09] its my first irc chat and it was very nice time with u guys see u soon byeeeeeeeeeee [03:10] lithpr: yeah.. i'm trying to figure this part out.. thanks anyways for the hint to winff.. I know i'm going to need that one soon enough. [03:10] If answer is the second, how to allocate those sectors? [03:10] wow [03:10] alright, im in tty right now, i dont really know what to enter [03:12] so i've got these 750 megs of .deb files - does anyone know how i can apply them to the next trial install? [03:12] w/o having to download them again from the repos? [03:12] do i really need to set up my own locally hosted repository? === satamusic___ is now known as satamusic [03:13] cause that sounds like a lot of effort [03:13] anyone know putty's sftp software here? [03:14] i have unmet dependancies and some programs are not installable what gives? [03:14] lithpr: if you have the .deb files then you can just dpkg directly [03:15] paq7512: Are you using apt-get?

[03:19] Ny51bern: more than that does not help much. [03:20] cfedde: i have 1gb ram, and without me editing anything I currently have 665mb in the swap [03:20] paq7512: sudo apt-get check [03:20] done no errors [03:21] test [03:21] Ny51bern: your system is probably fine with swap space at that size. [03:22] how to start damn pulseaudio? [03:22] Ny51bern: on modern systems with gigs of ram we rarely run out of ram such that the system needs to swap. === bencahill is now known as base2 [03:22] cfedde: yeah, but now i want to shrink my windows partition and increase my ubuntu (which i could use some help on)...while im doing it should i just increase swap? ...the computer is a t43 thinkpad === base2 is now known as bencahill [03:23] how do I tell if java is actually running? there are some javascript links on a site I'm on, that aren't doing anything. [03:23] Ny51bern: I'd leeve the swap alone. Also with a laptop you might want two diffrent swap partitions. especialy if you hybernate the oses. [03:24] sheesh im totally new to the whole thing. if i send you pictures, do you think you can guide me? [03:24] hibernate even... === matthew_ is now known as mrmrebel [03:24] nah i dont hibernate [03:24] Ny51bern: you'll do fine. [03:24] Ny51bern, how much ram does your lappy have? [03:24] cfedde: im talking about editing my partiions [03:24] what's the name of the app for the special function keys on a keyboard again? [03:25] arkanabar: 1gb [03:25] I switched to xfce4 and I'm assuming it no longer starts [03:25] Ny51bern, I'd suggest b/n 1.5 and 2gb of swap. It'd be plenty either way. [03:25] (automatically) [03:25] can someone point me in the direction of how to get Maverick to recognize and use my laptop fingerprint reader? [03:25] Abinadai: libfprint [03:25] Ny51bern: my advice is not to worry about it.

[03:28] if no one can help me fix this, can someone hel me reinstall ubunru without deleting my windows partition?

[03:30] arkanabar: im trying to shrink the windows partition and increase ubuntu, but while im there i figured i can increaase the swap [03:31] arkanabar: yea sda1 is windows [03:31] <^Phantom2^> So now u'm fucked [03:31] arkanabar: tbh, im not really sure what the rest is.. [03:31] <^Phantom2^> I have toreinstsll [03:31] <^Phantom2^> Riggt? [03:32] Ny51bern, ok. Did you defrag windows before starting? [03:32] arkanabar: yep [03:32] Does anyone know of some sort of gadget that will display my system stats on desktop?

[03:33] Ny51bern, did you remove the paging and hibernating files? [03:33] Abinadai: not sure what that is...so i guess not [03:33] Ny51bern, you can probably cut windows to about 18gb. and you ought to be able to extend swap into the unallocated space netxt to it. [03:33] I'm trying to run an ooold computer game, at it'll only run at 16-bit color.. Is there an easy way to switch back and forth? [03:33] ManecA, get Conky. [03:33] <^Phantom2^> What do i do? [03:33] Can someone help me reinstall ubuntu over a current ubunutu installation, there is a windows partition that I'm afraid I'll mess up [03:33] arkanabar: i also want to increase the sda5 tho.. [03:34] ManecA, read about it on the crunchbanglinux.com forums. [03:34] <^Phantom2^> How can i fix tgis [03:34] arkanabar, thank, you. [03:35] Ny51bern, that's why I told you that Windows could go down to 18gb. That's plenty of space. 15gb would be kind of cramped. [03:35] <^Phantom2^> I get stuck every time [03:35] hello everybody . I have a dell netbook with rtl8192ce card , it don't worked in one day . [03:35] arkanabar: do I need to do what Abinadai said? [03:35] xs2: Why are you wanting to re-install? [03:35] arkanabar: okay that sounds good. where do i begin? [03:36] arkanabar: im booted in my live cd already so i can edit them. [03:36] Ny51bern, you're in gparted. You should be able to grab and drag the edges of partitions in the graphical interface. [03:36] <^Phantom2^> I have to reinstall don't i? [03:36] How can I change the mime type associations for file extensions (ie. for custom types) [03:36] so shrink sda1 and increase the others? [03:36] !find texi2pod.pl [03:36] arkanabar: you said to bring the swap to how much? [03:36] <^Phantom2^> Some help would be nice [03:37] Package/file texi2pod.pl does not exist in maverick [03:37] ^Phantom2^, can you get to a tty and do "sudo apt-get install upgrade" or some such? [03:37] hi how do i install the from alternate ubuntu installer from usb [03:37] Ny51bern, just extend it into the unallocated space. That should be plenty. [03:37] xs2: Why, What is wrong? But, (FYI) reinstalling over an existing Ubuntu install only amounts to blowing away the existing Ubuntu partations. (Not the other one.) [03:37] arkanabar: upgrade isnt a package, so...get rid of the word "install" or replace upgrade with a package name....either will result in a valid command [03:37] <^Phantom2^> I can.t use this piece of shit now [03:37] !language | ^Phantom2^ [03:37] when I use lshw -c hetwork , it said *-network DISABLED [03:37] ^Phantom2^: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[03:38] maco, he apparently crashed or powered down during an update process. [03:38] arkanabar: right click 'swapoff' ? [03:38] <^Phantom2^> All you can do is tell me to stfu huh? [03:38] I'm trying to run an ooold computer game, at it'll only run at 16-bit color.. Is there an easy way to switch back and forth? [03:38] ^Phantom2^: no, we don't use that acronym here as it is *also* not appropriate [03:38] hi i am trying to figure out what program i need to install to get the application hardware drivers [03:39] ravel: jockey [03:39] bonjoyee: i know that but how do i get the installer to see the usb drive ensted of the cdrom [03:39] Ny51bern, probably... don't really remember how. gparted isn't something I use daily. [03:39] ravel: What hardware drivers, (for what device?) [03:39] ^Phantom2^: Please mind your language, and remember that we are all volunteers. Please adjust your attitude to reflect that. [03:39] sudo apt-get install jockey will do the trick [03:39] ^Phantom2^: what arkanabar said to do isnt really a valid command. i think they meant "sudo apt-get upgrade" but really if one is half-done, id expect "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to be needed first [03:39] hrmm ok here is an odd one, any link i click under places results in VLC opening with the exeption of "computer" is there a way I can fix the association ? [03:39] arkanabar: i think i got that part. right now im shrinking sda1 and increase the other 2 [03:40] ravel: i think its jockey-gtk [03:40] <^Phantom2^> How about helping me FIX THIS UBUNTU SHIT PLEASE? [03:40] <^Phantom2^> i am stuck with broken system [03:40] <^Phantom2^> Crashed during uodating [03:40] <^Phantom2^> Am i fucked?

[03:40] actually its a program that comes with ubuntu 10.04 it gives a pop-up and says that proprietary drivers are available for your system then you click it and ooh looky here click click oh installed soooo awesome :) [03:40] that's a shame [03:40] ^Phantom2^: you need to fix your attitude very very quickly FIRST [03:40] thank you bonjoyee [03:41] ^Phantom2^: can you get to a terminal? [03:41] How do I remove googsystray application? It is not showing up in the software manager... [03:41] so is there anyway to fix the popup notifications in 10.04? Everything is down too far. I dont want it to act this way. any suggestions? [03:41] ^Phantom2^: really, itd be a lot easier to help you if you would answer questions put to you, such as when arkanabar asked whether you even *could* get to a tty and run a command [03:41] <^Phantom2^> and recovery won't boot [03:41] jack_: there are no configuration options for the notification system in ubuntu [03:41] bonjoyee: i know that but how do i get the installer to see the usb drive ensted of the cdrom [03:42] maco: ok, well let me rephrase. is there a fix for that? [03:42] hrmm if anyone can help me with this lil file association problem please send a pm [03:42] jack_: it is not deemed a bug [03:42] ^Phantom2^: if the filesystem is that badly whacked, you're going to need to boot live cd and run fsck from there [03:42] maco: regardless. it doesn't operate the way i would like. is my only option to break open the src and recompile? [03:42] should i do aptitude install or a apt-get install for jockey-gtk [03:42] jack_: yes [03:42] what's the syntax for uploading a file from windows to ubuntu? How do I deal with spaces in the file names? I'm uploading via terminal/ssh/putty [03:42] skullboy: as in? once you create the usb..it should instll from it like an alternate install cd...i have done it a couple of times.. [03:42] <^Phantom2^> and recovery won't boot [03:42] I'm trying to run an ooold computer game, at it'll only run at 16-bit color.. Is there an easy way to switch back and forth? [03:43] ^Phantom2^: a live cd is not the same as the recovery option [03:43] chovynz: you can use \ to ignore speical characters such as spaces in the terminal [03:43] ^Phantom2^: besides, you've already said that [03:43] ^Phantom2^: They're tying to help you but you need to repond to their questions first. [03:43] bonjoyee: it trys to mount the cdrom not the usb [03:43] jack_ how so? [03:43] e.g. what would you write here?: [03:43] can anyone tell me the default GUI font name of ubuntu 10.10? [03:43] chovynz: for example 'led\ zeppelin\ \-\ black\ dog.mp3' [03:43] Do anyone here use the LibreOffice packages from the LibO PPA? [03:43] skullboy: did you use unetbootin to create the usb? [03:43] <^Phantom2^> I'm in grub [03:44] arkanabar: http://imagebin.org/137076 - See on bottom for all actions. I didn't click apply yet [03:44] bonjoyee: yes [03:44] ^Phantom2^: boot from a live cd [03:44] <^Phantom2^> I lost the cd [03:44] NoIE, information concerning the driver for your hardware is at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsRealTek#USB [03:44] ^Phantom2^: then yes, you're stuck [03:44] ^Phantom2^: find someone to burn one for you [03:44] ^Phantom2^: grub is the bootloader. you'll need a livecd to try to repair that. [03:44] jack_ : put c:/Documents and Settings/Myname/bcc.html /var/www/bcc [03:44] ^Phantom2^: and then invest in an UPS so you don't lose power in the middle of an upgrade again [03:44] skullboy: thats why i specifically said to use startup disk creator...it does not work with unetbootin..same error in my case as well! [03:45] chovynz: just put a '\' in front of any character thats give you a problem. it'll probably look like this: [03:45] jack_ would this change to c:/Documents\and\Settings/Myname/bcc.html /var/www/bcc [03:45] <^Phantom2^> Well dammit [03:45] chovynz: c\:\Documents\ and\ Settings\/Myname\/bcc.html /var/www/bcc [03:45] where did xorg.conf go this release? If I want to edit it, how do I get one? [03:45] rjg_: i think its deprecated. [03:45] jack_ \o/ [03:45] rjg_: it went away about 5 releases ago. if you want to write one yourself, you are welcome to do so [03:45] ^Phantom2^: if you've dual booted you can use the windows cd to repair the mbr [03:45] ok so from the ubuntu live???? [03:45] Ny51bern, w/ 1gb of ram, I'd suggest at least 1.5gb of swap. other than that, looks fine. [03:46] jack_: its not grub thats broken [03:46] skullboy: ? [03:46] maco: I need to get into 16 bit color mode... without one, how do I do that? [03:46] jack_: it's the filesystem being completely screwed up. ^Phantom2^ needs to boot from a live cd and run fsck on the hard disk and have it repair it [03:46] arkanabar: okay, let me fix it up a tad then [03:46] maco: i missed his original problem. all i saw was that he was stuck in grub. [03:46] 1400+ people here can anyone tell me howto fix my "places" menu. All items on the places menu when clicked on open VLC for some reason with the exception of "computer" [03:46] i desperately need some help. My current ubunutu is not worth fixing so I'm just going to reinstall it. I Can't just wipe disk and do a fresh install because I'm dualbooting windows. Right now, in the ubuntu installation I have 7 sda's. Installing a new ubuntu build won't erase those, just create more. [03:46] skullboy: yes ..use the ubuntu live cd ..and then use the startup disk creator on it.. [03:46] rjg_: ive never seen anyone ask to get *fewer* colours.... [03:46] <^Phantom2^> My other burner broke [03:46] <^Phantom2^> Maco, firefox crashed the system [03:46] <^Phantom2^> upon loading an image [03:47] firefox is fail. use chrome. :P [03:47] ^Phantom2^: firefox made your computer turn off? [03:47] maco: I'm trying to run an old computer game under wine that only plays nice with 16 bit color. [03:47] Piranah: how did you manage to do that? :P [03:47] bonjoyee: does the start up disk creator work with usb drives though and isos [03:47] ^Phantom2^: I would also check your hardware, when you eventually get loaded from a USB drive or CD. Memory, CPU, HD, make sure you're not overheating. [03:47] Jack_ lol not a clue [03:47] xs2, you can remove and/or re-use them... pick "advanced" or some such when you get to partitioning. [03:47] skullboy: yes.. [03:47] ^Phantom2^: Sudden poweroffs are generally hardware related. [03:48] ok thanks [03:48] Piranah: i believe there is a gui for file association somewhere. dig around for it. you'll probably need to fix it in there [03:48] rjg_: i dont see anything in xrandr's manpage about colour depth, so i think you need to write an xorg.conf yourself [03:48] <^Phantom2^> Wasn't sudden poweroff [03:48] rjg_: most other stuff is configurable from xrandr..... [03:48] ^Phantom2^: machine froze on you? thats what firefox does to me [03:48] jack_ thanks i well hit google up on that and TY for at least responding lol [03:48] xs2, does windows have any partitions besides sda1? [03:49] <^Phantom2^> Yes jack [03:49] Piranah: :P [03:49] :) [03:49] maco: ick... Is there any way to make one auto-generate from the auto-detected settings so that I can go in and change the line I need? [03:49] yeah [03:49] in my ubuntu 10.10 my desktop suddenly switch off ANY IDEA??????????? [03:49] it has sda1 and sda2 [03:49] ^Phantom2^: yeah that happens to me too. I believe its caused by the flash plugin. [03:49] MiteshShah: what do you mean? [03:49] arkanabar: okay i switched up the #s. now i got my sda1 at 18.06 total...sda5/ at 17.70 and sda6 at 1.49 [03:49] rjg_: there might be a file in /etc/X11/ that has a .failsafe ending and has the basic stuff [03:49] ^Phantom2^: hmm you should be able to just kill firefox without hard powering down [03:50] xs2, just make sure that when you fire up gparted or get to partitioning, you leave those alone. [03:50] ^Phantom2^: like with "killall fireox" [03:50] ^Phantom2^: erm, except with spelling firefox right [03:50] Ny51bern, that looks fine to me. [03:50] jack_: when i'm use my ubuntu its suddenly power off its working fine in xp [03:50] MiteshShah: can you power back up into ubuntu? [03:50] arkanabar: anyother things i should have done to prep for this or am i good to click 'apply' ? [03:50] maco: ok, sounds like I'll have to make my dad do it (I have a fairly funky machine with a weird display and graphics card, so defaults are likely to break it).

[03:50] MiteshShah: check the system logs.. [03:51] ^Phantom2^: you dual boot with your bios? what a pain! [03:51] Ny51bern, aside from backing up anything you can't risk losing, not that I know of. [03:51] arkanabar, what concerns me is that I'm going to end up with 3 OS's, a windows, a corrupt ubuntu, and a fresh ubuntu [03:51] arkanabar: alrighty, should i turn swappon? [03:51] bonjoyee: i checked but nothing to find out [03:51] ^Phantom2^: so what exactly happened? You were performing an upgrade and firefox (flash) froze your machine? [03:51] rjg_: erm....the default xorg.conf if its shoved in there by the failsafe thing is just "i have a screen. detect it. i have a mouse. detect it. i have a keyboard. detect. make them go together!" basically [03:51] Ny51bern, as far as I know. [03:52] swapon will enable the swap partition [03:52] MiteshShah: any specific application/event that triggers the crash? [03:52] <^Phantom2^> I had to use supergrub [03:52] <^Phantom2^> And maco, firefox COMPLETELY LOCKS UP the computer [03:52] xs2, you ought to be able to reformat your old ubuntu partition(s) if/when you reinstall. may want to check disk integrity first, tho. [03:52] maco: ok, I'll probably be good to go in that case. Thanks for the advice! [03:52] <^Phantom2^> To where poweroff is REQUIRED [03:52] jack_: after i have edited my partitions do i click swappon? or should i apply the changes and then turn swaponn? [03:52] I know this is a stupid question but I feel as i have no other choice. What do i need to learn about linux in order to understand creating my own conky config file? [03:53] Ny51bern: if you're in a bad situation you can skip it. YOu dont need swap to boot. [03:53] How do I get iunbuntu to let me play DVD's? [03:53] jack_: well i dont care, if its easier/doesnt matter i may as well turn it on and then apply the changes.. [03:53] <^Phantom2^> jack_: yes [03:53] ManecA, not at all. there's a site called "conky hardcore," it has a bunch of example conky config files with the conkys that they generate. [03:54] Ny51bern: the only difference between swapon and swapoff is your swap will be available :P [03:54] ManecA: Just Google it I Have a Nice Conky Sample if you want then tell me [03:54] How do I get unbuntu to let me play DVD's? [03:54] How do I get ubuntu to let me play DVD's? [03:54] Ny51bern: if you're not p8ushing into swap you can do it while the machine isup [03:54] !dvd | CryonicCore [03:54] CryonicCore: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[03:54] Ny51bern: you need to do it before you need swap :) [03:54] I accidently DL a dir to my home dir when I wanted it to go to my /var/www folder. How do I move it? [03:54] ^Phantom2^: what does rebooting do? you get to the grub screen but no further? what do you see on the screen? [03:54] jack_: ill do it before i apply the changes then, just so i dont have to look back [03:54] chovynz: from the terminal you can use the move command `mv file /new/file/place` [03:55] arkanabar, disk integrity should be fine. Drivers are whats corrupting it. Heres my partitions: sda1(fat32), sda2(ntfs), sda5(ntfs), sda6(ext4), sda7(swap). I want to format 6 and 7 correct? [03:55] I have googled it, but I dont understand any of the code, like for example if i wanted to learn how some programs work i might teach myself how to C++, what do i need to teach myself in order to understand conkey configuration? [03:55] thanks [03:55] xs2, yes. [03:55] Ny51bern: you can verify its turned on by typing `cat /proc/swaps` (i think) [03:55] jack_ I would have to use sudo, to move it from my home dir to root/var/www? [03:55] chovynz: it depends on the permissions of the /var/www/ folder [03:55] chovynz: try it without and if you get an error, use sudo. [03:56] jack_ one other thing, would this work on a dir? [03:56] thanks h00k [03:56] chovynz: yes [03:56] jack_ thanks [03:56] chovynz: my pleasure :) [03:57] !vmware [03:57] VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories.

[03:58] ^Phantom^: so it wont login? [03:59] <^Phantom^> can't [03:59] skullboy: yes...first create the live usb..then copy the alternate iso on it.. [03:59] Guest33700: i would suggest getting hte most up to date nvidia drivers. [03:59] <^Phantom^> no mouse/keyboard get recognized [03:59] ^Phantom^: i see. is there indication that the machine is responsive? [03:59] jack_: hte stands for?

[04:01] <^Phantom^> i'm burning a copy of the live cd [04:02] bonjoyee: so would it work if i booted form a live ubuntu on the same flash drive and place the alternet installer on the same flash drive [04:02] jack_: when i activated swap it only put a key on the extended..not on the swap.. [04:02] ^Phantom^: Are you able to boot into a single user mode? im not exactly sure how to do that in ubuntu but i think if you can get into the grub menu at boot time you'll be able to get into a text-based terminal and work from there. it could be that your gui is just f'ed up. :P [04:02] bonjoyee: but can i get on the drive im useing to boot ubuntu live [04:02] arkanabar: thanks for your help btw!

[04:02] <^Phantom^> I'm gonna get into the FS with my liveCD [04:02] jack_: ill send you pic [04:02] jack_: thats the part where ^Phantom^ said to be stuck at grub. because recovery mode (which is single user) doesnt boot [04:02] <^Phantom^> then just reinstall linux [04:02] jack_: is it from nvidia.com? [04:02] <^Phantom^> and never update it again [04:02] maco: thats peculiar. :x [04:03] Guest33700: yes. click your country then click 'Linux drivers' [04:03] <^Phantom^> and avoid firefox like the plague [04:03] jack_: http://imagebin.org/137081 [04:03] ^Phantom^: If you're considering reinstalling, consider putting your /home partition separately [04:03] Guest33700: you will need to re-install them with every kernel update [04:03] !home | ^Phantom^ [04:03] ^Phantom^: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept.

I want to add a new bootable harddrive partition to grub 1.98. Anyone know how to do this? [04:04] <^Phantom^> ever since i had to use supergrub to fix that one computer [04:04] Ny51bern: ok so that means that swap is now in use and you cant make changes to filesystems that are in use. [04:04] ^Phantom^: after you get to the live cd you can come back here and ask how to run fsck on the drive and how to chroot into a system to complete an upgrade [04:04] <^Phantom^> and even then it messed up that computer's recovery partition [04:04] <^Phantom^> maco, sweet, thanks [04:05] port80web: doesn't 1.98 use grub.conf? youc an use it as a template [04:05] isnt it in the menu.lst file [04:05] <^Phantom^> I'll have to be through my mobile connection, though, just so yo uknow [04:05] jack_: before i made changes, as you can see in my before picture (http://imagebin.org/137073) i had 2 keys..

[04:06] <^Phantom^> It used to go right into linux. [04:06] port80web: it starts with 0. hd(0,0) is sda, hd(1,0) is sdb [04:06] <^Phantom^> Now I get the boot menu. [04:06] Ny51bern: any time you make storage changes it is dangerous :) [04:07] got it. [04:07] ^Phantom^: could it be that the kernel you were booting into is no longer available? [04:07] jack_: because apt if i install nvidia-current it flushes x and vise versa [04:07] jack_: ...how dangerous....? should i bother or no? [04:07] Ny51bern: what are you trying to do?

[04:10] chovynz: im running on the live cd right now [04:10] Ny51bern: if you dont care about the data and something goes wrong, you can just reinstall the OS. [04:10] maso: OK, I ended up generating a custom xorg.conf fit to my system. I moved it to the right location (/etc/X11) and changed the depth values, but the effects aren't showing up... Why is my system not using the xorg.conf provided? [04:10] Ny51bern: what jack said [04:11] rjg_: check the Xorg.0.log [04:11] chovynz: so doing this does not offer the possibility that my comp will be unbootable? [04:11] Ny51bern: it is seriously the easiest thing in teh world to do is re-installing. if you really dont care about the data then clean install is teh best way to go. [04:11] Ny51bern: nothing is guaranteed in this world. [04:11] chovynz: i dont have cds for xp tho :p [04:11] Ny51bern: you're playing with the storage. there is always a chance you could screw something up. :P however, i've never had an issue with it. if you search the forums im sure you'll find people who have. [04:12] Ny51bern: you should install that anyway. its terrible. ;) [04:12] jack_: wtvr. im going to apply these settings [04:12] Ny51bern: dang it. uninstall* [04:12] jack_: need it for work [04:12] but when it comes down to it, how can i delete it?

[04:33] <^Phantom^> after I copy my stuff of couse [04:33] ^Phantom^: it looks like the guy fixed it by: repairing the broken installtion there by repeatedly doing "apt-get -f install" and "apt-get upgrade" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" over and over [04:33] pooltable: normaly it's auto installed with sudo apt-get install or synaptic [04:34] "After rebooting the system was usable and with some additional package updates/upgrades it now looks like new and is running 10.10" [04:34] ^ ^Phantom^ [04:34] <^Phantom^> But I can't get to a terminal [04:34] ^Phantom^: this is from the livecd [04:34] <^Phantom^> @ jack_ [04:34] ^Phantom^: read the very last post in the thread. [04:34] <^Phantom^> Oh? [04:34] OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz [04:34] <^Phantom^> I'm copying my stuff first [04:34] <^Phantom^> I'll be back when it's done :D [04:34] i need to update it [04:34] okay. basically i used a usb drive to put ubuntu on my windows xp netbook so i could dual boot. My ubuntu is horribly mangled and wont boot. I want to get rid of it and make another one. From googling, im seeing that the methods require a windows xp restore cd, but im on a netbook and dont have a cdrom [04:35] pooltable: update it to what version? [04:35] ^Phantom^: i may not be here when you get back but i should be here all day tomorrow. [04:35] <^Phantom^> I might just reinstall altogether [04:35] hmm [04:35] <^Phantom^> I can set it all back up easily [04:35] pooltable: does the repository not have the version you need? try ppa [04:35] cabbie-xp: wat. [04:35] <^Phantom^> I hadn't had it long [04:36] ubuntu wont boot [04:36] 3.3 [04:36] <^Phantom^> And guess what [04:36] <^Phantom^> the bulk of my data is copied over so far [04:36] cabbie-xp: cant you use the live usb to boot into a live ubuntu session and just re-install over the bad partition? [04:38] sacalon try ppa i do not see it i did donload the 3.3 version i just need to installed it but need help [04:38] gg [04:38] gg indeed [04:38] anyone switched from a regular keyboard to a dvorak ... and if so how did you train? (it took me too long to type this) [04:38] that would be great if i could. the thing is i forget (heh) where exactly i grabbed the ubuntu from and what instructions i followed so not sure how to repeat what i did [04:38] <^Phantom^> Eep [04:38] Ritlee: that would take me 10000 years to learn. [04:38] <^Phantom^> Some files can't be copied, jack_, even under sudo [04:39] <^Phantom^> And they are the ones I can't replace, of couse [04:39] <^Phantom^> course* [04:39] cabbie-xp: im not sure what that means but it should be pretty straight forward. what kind of hiccups would you hit? [04:39] jack_, dunno i wanna learn... just switched back to regular [04:39] ^Phantom^: such as what? [04:39] Ritlee: heh. good luck dude. [04:39] <^Phantom^> the files from that old hard drive [04:39] <^Phantom^> which is now junked [04:39] <^Phantom^> it was failing [04:39] ^Phantom^: ok, how are they failing? are you getting an error message? [04:40] <^Phantom^> no no [04:40] <^Phantom^> drives aren't failing [04:40] ^Phantom^: are you copying with the gui? [04:40] <^Phantom^> the files from that old failing drive can't be copied [04:40] well im imagining that i would need to set the bios to look at the usb drive as i rebooted. but i tried doing that with the usb drive in and it didn't do anything [04:40] cabbie-xp: perhaps you need to recreate the usb live image. [04:41] ^Phantom^: try it from the command line. in terminal do a 'cp /the/bad/file /the/new/location' and tell me what error you get. [04:41] it depends. [04:41] <^Phantom^> How do I fsck the drive [04:41] cabbie-xp: im not sure about netbooks but my PC wil go to a boot menu if I hit f12 at boot [04:41] how to install i file i have on mu hard drive ? [04:41] mu=my [04:41] ^Phantom^: unmount it and type 'fsck /dev/sdc1' [04:42] ^Phantom^: sudo fsck /dev/sdc1 [04:42] ^ [04:42] stupid sudo [04:42] and i use winimage to remake it? [04:42] i dont know what winimage is. [04:44] okay i think i found the instructions i originally followed http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook/get-ubuntu/download [04:44] what should i open this to install it OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz?? [04:46] <^Phantom^> jack_, maco, it does this [04:46] <^Phantom^> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck dev/sdc1 fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 [04:46] ^Phantom^: wtf is that? heh [04:47] <^Phantom^> the terminal output [04:47] is that the command your an? [04:47] you ran* === headyadmin_ is now known as headyadmin [04:47] <^Phantom^> yes [04:47] <^Phantom^> this is what came up [04:47] <^Phantom^> fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 [04:47] thats all? [04:47] <^Phantom^> yep [04:47] back to the terminal? [04:47] <^Phantom^> yep [04:47] strange [04:48] <^Phantom^> I can't afford to lose those files [04:48] <^Phantom^> There are pictures that can't be replaced D: [04:49] help update open office to 3.3 [04:49] ^Phantom^: open a terminal, go to the directory and try to copy them using the 'cp' command. what error do you get? [04:49] <^Phantom^> i'll try hang on [04:50] <^Phantom^> I can't seem to get to the drives [04:50] <^Phantom^> oh wait wrong directory D'oh [04:50] :) [04:51] HAve a new ubuntu server here. How do I get some build tools? what would I use? [04:51] chovynz: for compiling? [04:51] now I just have to figure out my issue I am having with my sound with ubuntu and VMware [04:51] jack_ dont know sorry [04:51] chovynz: what kind of build tools are you looking for? [04:51] I'm trying this ./autogen.sh: and it retursn this ./autogen.sh: 49: autoreconf: not found [04:51] <^Phantom^> Permission denied on all the same files, jack_ [04:51] <^Phantom^> am I totally screwed then? [04:52] permission denied on reading? [04:52] try using sudo [04:52] <^Phantom^> some can be read [04:52] sudo cp /file/one /file/two [04:52] <^Phantom^> trying with sudo [04:52] <^Phantom^> :O [04:52] <^Phantom^> it appears to have copied one of them [04:52] <^Phantom^> :D [04:53] ^Phantom^: *cheers* [04:53] <^Phantom^> woohoo [04:53] man, i should do htis for a living and you should pay me [04:53] ;D [04:53] lol [04:53] <^Phantom^> *.* will copy the directories too, right? [04:53] got a paypal acc? [04:53] !sound [04:53] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [04:53] ^Phantom^: use the -R flag for recrusive. `cp -R * /my/backup/dir` [04:53] pooltable: I found that oo had deb files at there site but they are compressed, just uncompress and try to install the deb file expample to try http://www.ring.gr.jp/archives/misc/openoffice/stable/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz [04:54] define recursive please [04:54] !sound vmware [04:54] jack im redownloading the image and will burn it to my USB. so if i do this, it will automatically overwrite the old ubuntu? I just want one other thing...to make my partition larger, the webpage I linked says this is for advanced users. If I want to make it lets say 40 gigs, is it any more effort than saying entering 40 gigs? [04:54] chovynz: it means it'll follow directories under * [04:54] so it means "and all subfolders" ? [04:54] chovynz: so if you do * it'll get everything in the current directory, including subdirectories and their files and directories and their files and directoreis etc [04:55] ahhh got it. thanks [04:55] from the man page: [04:55] -R, -r, --recursive [04:55] copy directories recursively [04:55] ' [04:55] jack_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:55] damn. does anybody know how to fix my sound on ubuntu with VMware using win7? [04:55] FloodBot1: suck it. [04:55] lol [04:55] CryonicCore: uninstall win7 and install baremetal ;D heh. i would ask in #vmware (if it exists) [04:55] (it does) [04:56] jack_: is there a kernel-build-tools package? [04:56] * ^Phantom^ tries and watches his backup drive [04:56] chovynz: dunno. check the repo [04:56] how? [04:56] <^Phantom^> jack_: holy crap you're a genius [04:56] chovynz: `apt-cache search package_name` [04:57] ^Phantom^: im glad somebody finally realized it other than myself! [04:57] jack_, why would I want to uninstall win7? [04:57] because you're switching to ubuntu of course [04:57] ^ CryonicCore [04:58] <^Phantom^> Then after this is all backed up, I can just reinstall [04:58] what happened to htat marco fello? [04:58] <^Phantom^> then i'll just leave the stuff all on the backup drive [04:58] jack_, I am using it for small stuff. Not a primary OS [04:58] ^Phantom^: there you go. you could also try repairing the install :P [04:59] <^Phantom^> Nah [04:59] <^Phantom^> I'll go with a fresh install [04:59] CryonicCore: see! thats your REAL issue we should be discussing. [04:59] ^Phantom^: righton. good luck brother. [04:59] <^Phantom^> Thankies much [04:59] * ^Phantom^ compares back with original [04:59] can anyone help me get my broadcom BCM5784M wireless driver to work [04:59] <^Phantom^> backup* [05:00] moldaz: did you enable the priority driver? [05:00] yes [05:00] !wifi | moldaz [05:00] * ^Phantom^ finds a 3G sweet spot [05:00] moldaz: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:00] I've got the same one. [05:00] jack_: hey [05:00] <^Phantom^> I'm not going to do that install on the 2G connection again, that took like 3 hours [05:00] ny51bern: hi [05:00] <^Phantom^> @ jack_ [05:00] its confusing the hell out of me cause it will work for a minute and just stop [05:00] jack_: yt? [05:00] hi. how can i find out what dns servers i am _actually_ using. I want to make sure the nameservers i have in my resolv.conf are the ones that i am actually using. [05:00] jack_, U use Ubuntu as ur primary os? LOL why? [05:01] jack_: ah okay so it worked -- sorta [05:01] <^Phantom^> dang, jack_, you became popular all of a sudden [05:01] CryonicCore: why wouldn't i? [05:01] <^Phantom^> Among the unreplaceables, jack_, my GED transcript [05:01] ^Phantom^: i know right. usually i get kicked out of here by the admins :x [05:01] CryonicCore: I use ubuntu as my ONLY os [05:01] jack_: my windows is smaller, and my ubuntu main is bigger, but my swap didnt get bigger. midway errors popped up and it canceled [05:02] ny51bern: you can try it again :D [05:02] CryonicCore: I have three computers, all only running Linux (two Ubuntu). [05:02] i did, i got the same error [05:02] shrinking partitions is more dangerious then growing. so if you have unallocated psace you shoudl be good to go [05:02] CryonicCore: ive used ubuntu as my only os since 2006 (ok fine, kubuntu these days) [05:02] jack_: no, all space is allocated, just none of it went to swap [05:02] jack_: anything i took from windows is in my main ubuntu now [05:02] <^Phantom^> jack_: see pm [05:02] maco: why is the notification problem not considered a bug? the only thing i've seen use it nicely is empathy. === jesus is now known as Guest75860 [05:03] jack_: canonical designed the notifications to not have any configuration whatsoever. they appear where canonical decided they should appear, in the colours canonical decided they should use, at the size canonical decided they should be [05:03] CryonicCore: if you used linux as your primary OS you would understand. [05:03] can somebody help me install the right drivers for an nvidiagts 360m card, I am in netroot recovery mode right now [05:03] maco: by why decide to have the majority of applications use them incorrectly? [05:04] FreeBSD and FedoraCore is more stable then Ubuntu/Kubuntu [05:04] CryonicCore: FedoraCore is old. Its just called fedora now and has been for years. [05:04] jack_: despite people complaining to high heaven and even writing the patches to make such things configurable themselves, canonical refuses to accept those patches. based on their response to adding configuration options elsewhere, im guessing its because "users are confused by choice" [05:04] CryonicCore: also, it is focused more towards system admin and server. not desktop. [05:04] jack_: how do you mean? [05:04] dig [05:04] jack_: i thought your issue was not liking the placement [05:04] jack_: is it bad to have only 666mb swap? [05:04] maco: sort of [05:05] ny51bern: as long as youre not running out of memory you'll be fine [05:05] I need helpi with nvidia drivers for my laptop I can't even log in under the ui mode it just shows random blocks and colors [05:05] is there a good way to control my ps3 from my computer? [05:05] it should be good but your computer might be possesed [05:05] maco: empathy uses it correctly, but xchat and banshee and pidgin all have it placed way below the title bar. it looks very unclean. i fixed it though by applying the older package from 9.04 :x [05:05] jack_: how do i know if i am? [05:05] jack_: iirc, the current way that its "supposed" to work is that directly below the panel is where volume, brightness, etc notifications appear while application notifications appear below that spot which is left empty if only an application (not both an application and a power) notification occurs at once [05:06] jack_: the applications dont choose where the popup goes [05:06] ny51bern: do a `free -m` if you have 0 free memory and 0 swap space you're in trouble :) [05:06] Hi. Is the screen supposed to dim when switching workspaces? [05:06] <^Phantom^> jack_: broken OS is SOOOOOOOOOO much better than dead mobo [05:06] maco: i hate that. [05:06] <^Phantom^> i had a mobo die once [05:06] Clavin12: i dont think so. mine doesn't [05:07] jack_: got all 664 free :) ...im not going anything that hogs so much RAM so i think ill be fine [05:07] can somebody please tell me how to install nvidia drivers for a gts360m nvidia card , I need correct drivers for my laptop [05:07] jack_: if on the other hand you're saying that notification updates appear at varying heights, well then that is odd and you could file a bug with ubuntu-bug notify-osd [05:07] jack_: sorry, *application* notifications [05:07] Jack: This has happened to me on both Mint 10 and Ubuntu 10.10 [05:07] maco: no. its not a bug. i just dont liek the way it operates. it acts as you have described. [05:07] jack_: (cuz like i said, they leave space for a power/volume/etc button) [05:07] maco: the older package i installed just puts the newer ones first and the older ones higher. including aplication notifications and volume etc [05:07] anyone know how to allocate more ram to rtorrent? [05:08] brandon420: what? you mean dedicate ram to it? [05:08] jack_: yeah that was a change for 10.10 to make it "reserve" space for the acpi stuff i think [05:08] <^Phantom^> thank you jack_ and maco [05:08] <^Phantom^> now to go reinstall ubuntu [05:08] <^Phantom^> Fresh install = better idea imo [05:08] i mean, im getting "file chunk write error: connot allocate memory" [05:08] maco: im using 10.04. i think the change was done in 9.10. i have hte 9.04 package. [05:08] jack_, ^^ [05:08] brandon420: how much memory do you have? [05:08] I need help with a fresh ubuntu install concering nvidia gts360m drivers [05:08] jack_: someone did make a package and put it in a PPA on launchpad (but idk where, youd have to search) with the patches to add configuration that canonical rejected [05:08] it has 1.5gb, but only using 819mb of it [05:09] jack_: wow this has been going that long? im a kde user so i havent kept up but....wow [05:09] jack_, ^^ lol [05:09] brandon420: that appears to be a problem with rtorrent not working correctly. how much memory is it trying to allocate? [05:09] jack_, its trying to allocate 819mb, i want to make it allocate like 1.4gb [05:09] <^Phantom^> I love how ubuntu sometimes tells me it's safe to remove internal SCSI drives XD [05:09] <^Phantom^> Okay, thank you again [05:10] <^Phantom^> bye [05:10] jack_, its a empty vps turned into a seedbox. so.... [05:10] brandon420: the application will request memory from the kernel. either it is asking for too much memory or the memory is not allowed to be allocated [05:10] hey guys! if my "dpkg" wont work, what can be the prob? [05:10] <^elf^> what do i need to do to stop NetworkManager overwriting my /etc/resolv.conf completely? I wish to have some 'nameserver' lines defined in there [05:10] fiddan: dpkg binary and library corruption? [05:10] ^elf^: make it immutable [05:10] <^elf^> :\ [05:11] ^elf^: set them in dhcp3 settings i think [05:11] ^elf^: fix your DNS server to give the correct nameservers :P hehe [05:11] <^elf^> i dunno... it'd work, but +i to files seems like overkill heh [05:11] ^elf^: prepend domain-name-servers in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [05:11] brandon420: are you running rtorrent as root? see if it works as root. perhaps you have some limits on your user. [05:12] Jack_: dunno, it says that i should run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" to configure it manually. but when i do i dont understand anything [05:12] jack_, i actually am. lol. [05:12] <^elf^> yea... my scenario is that the box in question is a router running xubuntu... pppd brings up the adsl interface, eth0 and eth1 are manually defined... but after the system boots the /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten by networkmanager [05:12] <^elf^> ok i'll have a look in there maco [05:12] brandon420: then you might have bad memory. if its trying to allocate memory which is available it should just give itu p [05:12] brandon420: is it running now? [05:12] jack_, yes, rtorrent is running now. [05:13] jack_, and its a vps..... [05:13] brandon420: one moment [05:13] jack_, ok, thanks man [05:13] brandon420: vps? virtual? [05:13] ummm, yeah [05:14] jack_: brandon420: I didn't read all the way back your problem so not sure this is what you need but when I have mem problems in virtualbox that won't start due to not enuf mem I do this and it works, sudo echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [05:14] virtual private server [05:14] not virtual box [05:14] at least I think not [05:14] ^ [05:14] brandon420: run this command against your server and gimmie the output [05:14] it is. vps [05:15] $ ps aeo pid,command,vsize,rss | grep rtorrent [05:15] my girlfriend is punching me [05:15] jack_: point is this might fix a mem problem [05:15] help me i want clone my system [05:15] sacarlson: that will drop cache. it wouldn't stop allocation. it shouldn't anyway [05:16] !clone [05:16] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [05:16] KREDO, ^^^^ [05:16] KREDO, also see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087 [05:16] any specific channel for wubi? [05:16] thanks [05:16] how do i get rid of rtorrent when opened in screen? [05:16] yoti, nope ask here [05:17] if I want to run ubuntu on an ATA to USB enclosure, should I stick with the USB installer or go for a full OS install [05:17] !screen [05:17] Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [05:17] I'm using a xubuntu variant. When I change my keyboard layout to dvorak, I can't use my mouse to drag, close, or maximize windows -- it's like I'm holding a meta key in behavior for some reason [05:17] Sazpaimon, just install as you install normally nothing special to do [05:17] brandon420, remove it from startup aps list? [05:18] if I want to run ubuntu on an ATA to USB enclosure, should I stick with the USB installer or go for a full OS install? [05:18] KREDO: I think maybe http://www.geekconnection.org/remastersys/ [05:18] :/ [05:18] AbhijiT, i mean how do i open rtorrent in screen, and then get to a terminal again [05:18] im loading jpeg from usb and its very very slow... [05:18] brandon420, no idea [05:18] does anyone has a solution for this? [05:19] brandon420: type screen, open rtorrent, then hit alt+AD [05:19] A+D? [05:19] yes [05:19] to detact the screen [05:19] to get back into the screen use `screen -r` [05:20] did you run that comman di told you to run? my gf is punching me atm and i g2g [05:20] hehe [05:20] lmfao [05:20] running it now [05:21] gf? ubuntu? no contest. :P [05:21] and that's why you're in irc [05:21] jack_, it says no command found [05:21] ps is not found?

[05:25] jack_, cause i just restarted it [05:25] gg [05:25] brandon420: ugh i gotta go. check /proc/meminfo to see how much you have available [05:25] =/ [05:25] ok [05:25] screen -r to reattach? [05:25] yes [05:25] ty sir [05:25] brandon420: run that command in crontab. have it run every minute and >> /tmp/blah. once it happesn again the blah file should have the amount of memory it was requesting before it gave up [05:26] well, i learned how to use screen =) [05:26] grats [05:26] hehe [05:28] and /proc/meminfo/ isnt a dir [05:30] brandon420: no it's a file and see how much is in Cached: [05:30] oh ok.

I'm already using pulseaudio and I'm not feelin' the love. [05:31] brandon420: sounds good, mine has more than half my system mem in it [05:31] Abinadai ' !o! [05:31] Abinadai: pulsaudio has nothing to do with hardware drivers. ALSA is the driver layer [05:31] !repeat raskol [05:31] Abinadai, there is a system wide EQ if your interested. [05:31] Abinadai: Pulse talks to ALSA [05:31] Powerpc ???????? [05:31] oops! I'm new. [05:32] brandon420, yeah I'm interested. [05:32] does transmission have a minimize to tray option? [05:32] Abinadai, check out pulseaudio Equalizer in the package manager [05:33] ariaxu, ok. I get that now that I'm looking. [05:33] Da|Mummy, check out deluge [05:33] it does. [05:33] deluge is a client? [05:33] Abinadai, i had the same prob, everything sounded weird when i first installed. and that helped alot [05:33] how to test the usb on linux [05:33] brandon420, I installed all that ubuntu had to offer from the package manager last night and I don't see an eq [05:33] Da|Mummy, yes. its alot better then transmission imo [05:33] Da|Mummy, yep a client === Anonnn is now known as LinuxNoob [05:34] wasup brandon [05:34] Abinadai, it should be in apps/sound/ [05:34] brandon420, thanks. [05:34] sup LinuxNoob [05:34] gotcha [05:34] i already trashed the torrents that im running right now, any way to transfer them to deluge from transmission? [05:34] surya: so you never figured out md5sum? [05:35] not much [05:35] Abinadai, also, check out deadbeef or audacious for a media player. seems like you are worried about sound. i find that they are alot better then rhythmbox/banshee [05:35] does ubuntu come with a pre installed text based browser? [05:35] Da|Mummy, get them out of the trash, lol. [05:35] audacious > * [05:35] dospod, check out lynx [05:36] is it pre-installed? [05:36] i emptied the trash....im not that new to linux :| [05:36] dospod, not sure. [05:36] brandon420, Thanks, I'll try that out. [05:36] if not then it will be of no use to me [05:36] Da|Mummy, lmao. other then that, im not sure man. [05:36] @dospod: lynx isn't a pre installed [05:36] ok ill just let these slowly finish i guess [05:36] installing deluge now [05:37] i also find that deluge is more light weight, transmission freezes on me all the time. [05:37] and its also "faster in the swarm" or so reviews say [05:37] grr i still have all my ports closed :{ [05:37] what is default for deluge? [05:37] idk, you can set it though [05:38] ok ill look into it when the time is right. thanks [05:38] actually, deluge is set to random by default. [05:38] so than if "random" is closed, how will it make a good connection? [05:39] lotta james' [05:39] Da|Mummy, you can change the port to one that you have forwarded. [05:39] deluge is the closest thing to utorrent that i have seen for linux [05:39] anyone else have an issue with the mouse and capslock not working on a model M [05:39] sacarlson: cached memory is not non-available memory [05:39] upnp/nat-pmp is usually default too; so it's all automatic [05:40] utorrent rox [05:40] sacarlson: http://linuxatemyram.com [05:40] I need to install mailx but without all the exim4 dependencies.. Is there a way to do this via aptitude? [05:40] jack_: it was also 0kb so nothing to recover if it was cleared [05:40] Da|Mummy, yes it does. also, you might want to take the time to research rtorrent. it also rocks [05:40] what will i need rtorrent for now? [05:41] just sudo apt-get rtorrent [05:41] jack_: what I do is sync then do that to recover mem [05:41] then type rtorrent, its cli [05:41] besides i rarely use torrents these day, but somethings are just impossible to find on usenet [05:41] omg [05:41] jack_, is back! [05:41] for torrents I just use transmission [05:41] sacarlson that doesn't 'recover memory'. cached memory is available for applications [05:42] eveyrone here says deluge is better than transmission [05:42] and it can minimize to tray, so im switching [05:42] Da|Mummy: hrm transmission minimizes to tray here [05:42] transmission hates me. lol. [05:42] how? [05:42] tranmission can minimize to tray to [05:42] i can get it to show in tray. but no minimize [05:42] What is the easiest way to get a decent conkyrc script? I don't want to work too hard, I just want it to work. Want: Weather, pidgin, network, HD, maybe a few other things. [05:42] jack_: well then I don't know why I need to do that to get virtualbox to run, but it works for me when I have 800meg in cache and this clears it sudenly virtualbox runs ok [05:43] @pure-gnome [05:43] brandon420, is rtorrent just another client, or something deluge wont offer? [05:43] !pure-gnome [05:43] @Da|Mummy see some options in preference [05:43] famihug, i did, i found show in tray, but no minimize [05:43] Da|Mummy, its another client, but its the most lightweight client out there. [05:43] jack_: I think it must be a bug in virtualbox that won't take mem that's in cache? [05:43] hmm, what was the trigger for the bot ?

[09:06] pepee, llutz it's definitely running, 200% certain. [09:06] iszak: output? [09:06] That program you can make onto a flash drive for restoring grub, is it easy to remove?

[09:08] aye pepee, but if it's already installed, and something that was installed after has updated a configuration, will the config be exactly as it was before the second package was installed? anyway, I've rebooted and not got X, appaantly I don't have a screen :) [09:09] iszak: then don act like a noob :) you asked for help, we asked for info to help [09:09] * mobius2 uses flash decompiler trillix under NT OS's but I am not seeing much in the way of Linux .fla editors [09:09] That program you can make onto a flash drive for restoring grub, is it easy to remove? [09:10] RandomCake, you can remove the config file, X will try to load the best config it can [09:10] Alright, all sorted. [09:10] iszak: works noe? [09:10] now [09:10] hobbes, just format the usb disk [09:10] doncha love fooling around with x server? [09:10] :D [09:10] On 10.10 ecryptfs seems to be dodgy.

[09:11] llutz, thanks [09:11] mobius2: it won't run in wine? [09:11] * samjam apologises to floodbot [09:11] hobbes, don't think so [09:12] Gnea, I've gone as far as Crossover pro, which uses the wine framework, and last night I actually installed an xp and vista instance under vmware, but it seems un useably slow...besides I just cant beleive there is not an .fla editor for linux :P [09:12] Does anyone here program? [09:12] the whole thing revolves around me wanting to improve on a badass pistol emulator [09:12] mobilerc, try virtualbox, add more memory to the vm, more cpus, etc [09:13] i found it on deviant art :) [09:13] some guy named realtrase made it [09:13] s/mobilerc/mobius2 [09:13] pepee, ty [09:13] I have a technical question: Why is speed and the analysis of algorithm speed so important?

[10:05] anyone got any ideas? [10:06] M-sprite: You probably just need iwconfig $iface essid $essid && dhclient $iface [10:06] randomus2r: yes. [10:06] wicd done the thing [10:06] stefancrs: I'm sure your code that runs has this line in it require 'rubygems' [10:06] bullgard4, Where can I see that?

[10:07] doesn't work [10:07] and /etc/init.d/networking restart ... sometimes :) [10:07] M-sprite: make sure wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager are not running. It might also be useful to specify the channel as well [10:07] stefancrs: you said you aready have gem installed? [10:07] erUSUL: i add sudo too, yeah , i check the interface with ifconfig and i asee ESSID on that [10:07] ! work | s2_krish [10:07] s2_krish: Doesn't work is a strong statement.

[10:07] sacarlson: not the i18n ge [10:07] gem [10:07] randomus2r: I did not say that you can see it. I told you the command that shows me this process name.

Or restart the panel with killall gnome-panel [10:10] stefancrs: does just gem update work? [10:11] sacarlson: yeah, but "nothing to update" :) [10:11] M-sprite: yea maybe so. check the output of ps ax|grep Network [10:11] soreau: i tried this, it's ok, so how to check that my machine is running process wpa-appli,,,, [10:11] or dmesg ... tail [10:11] M-sprite: ps ax|grep wpa [10:11] soreau: right, I restarted ubuntu twice, problem is from some days back [10:12] I'm trying to get ekiga working, but when I click "Test echo" nothing happens, can someone help?

[10:13] sacarlson: I'm not the one who installed the machine, it's a vps so I guess it's just a clone [10:13] sacarlson: from some image [10:14] randomus2r: Yes.

[10:21] soreau: i find a command 'dhclient3' what is that 3 [10:21] M-sprite: Its like dhclient [10:21] soreau: a new version ?

[10:24] M-sprite: It should work if the routers dhcp is working and the card is on the right channel. Did you try those commands to force the card into channel 6? [10:24] stefancrs: wow just 0.0.1 off === WamPIRe_ is now known as WamPIRe-- [10:25] sacarlson. [10:25] sacarlson: well, if rails 2.3.5 doesn't work with gems 1.5.0 and higher, I don't think it's a good idea to install 1.5.1 :) [10:25] soreau: yeah, i follow your command set channel on 6 , so you mean that maybe that wireless routher is not running now, even though it have single now [10:25] M-sprite: is you wifi-connection established at all? "iwconfig wlan0" look for "associated" [10:25] M-sprite: Probably wouldnt hurt to stop it from running too though you shouldnt have to [10:25] stefancrs: well is there a newer rails version then? [10:25] sacarlson i want to install PCI card in 2.6.32-21- kernel [10:26] sacarlson: yes, but not that works with redmine :) [10:26] stefancrs: wow bummer [10:26] jewhooker2011: on the laptop only hit ctrl+alt+f1 then login and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [10:26] stefancrs: catch 22 [10:26] sacarlson. i have inserted PCI card in PCI slot of the mother board [10:26] soreau: not-associted, [10:26] sacarlson: well, if it'd work to install i18n 0.4.2 like it usually does I'd be a happy camper [10:26] M-sprite: I know its not associated.. [10:26] M-sprite: otherwise it would be working [10:27] M-sprite: until it isn_t associated, dhclient will always fail [10:27] soreau: ok, another method, do you know to to connect with wicd ? [10:27] M-sprite: Nope, I never used that applet [10:27] llutz: yeah, it stop himself [10:27] thank you twitch. will do. :) [10:27] stefancrs: my guess if you fix that i18n then another hop will apear [10:28] soreau: yap. [10:28] sacarlson: maybe. my guess is that the patched version of ruby they chose for lucid is buggy [10:28] M-sprite: If mac address filtering is enabled on the ap, you wont be able to connect unless you know one of the mac ids on the allow list and spoof it [10:28] stefancrs: can you have two versions of ruby installed at the same time? [10:28] hello? [10:28] sacarlson: doubt it, why? [10:28] oplokijn: hi [10:28] i have PCI card installation driver also [10:28] soreau: good idea, i know that now, i use the wireless router before, i know that rules on the setting, i see, thx [10:29] stefancrs: well one will run with what you have the other would run on the other version? [10:29] sacarlson: if I could just downgrade that would be a good test. trying to figure how to do that [10:29] poongudi: What makes you think you need to install a driver for this card? Did you ever show the lspci line for it? [10:30] soreau: by the way, do you know why i can not use aircrack-ng even though i monitor with airmon-ng on channel 6 , aircrack-ng tells me that i am not on chan 6 [10:30] can someone help me? i can't recall how to burn a file using brasero [10:31] hm, what's this RVM thingy? :) [10:31] M-sprite: You need aircrack-ng from svn and use aireplay-ng with --ignore-negative-one. There has been a kernel change which removes the association of channel information with monitor mode interfaces [10:31] can any one who uses automated install comment on whether they prefer kickstart or preseed? [10:31] chilipepper: you can use dd too [10:31] soreau. i have driver for PCI card [10:31] hi there [10:31] M-sprite, what's dd? [10:32] poongudi: I know that. Im asking what makes you think you need this driver? [10:32] chilipepper: Emm... i just know that the dd can do it too, simple style is 'dd if=/home/inputfile of=/dev/cdrom' [10:32] chilipepper: http://linux.die.net/man/1/dd [10:32] chilipepper: it is not correct, [10:33] chilipepper: It stands for disk destroyer, so be careful ;) [10:33] twitch: ctrl+alt+f1 gives me a black screen also but isn't restarting and logging in using xterm the same thing? [10:33] soreau. how can i active my PCI card [10:33] isn't there a windirstat-like utility for ubuntu to locate the largest files and directories? [10:33] what this command do exactly ? [10:33] svn co file:///svnroot/master/ \ [10:33] ~/repositories/ [10:33] poongudi: Do you speak english? Or are you just not willing to answer my questions? [10:33] thanks thanks [10:33] stefancrs: seems I already have two ruby version installed on my system both ruby1.8 and ruby1.9 but I have ruby linked to ruby1.8 [10:33] sacarlson: heh, ok :) [10:34] poongudi: What is the line from lspci for the card and why do you think you need to install a driver for it? [10:34] soreau: poongudi maybe you can try active automate scanning for driver [10:34] I'm getting this error for my external HDD... DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending ...is there a command I can send the drive to kill all processes? [10:34] sacarlson: I only need 1.8 though [10:34] is it possible to set nautilus to preserve meta data, including creation/modified dates when copying files? [10:34] stefancrs: so that means like nothing, don't know what that helps [10:34] soreau. lspci does not show the PCI card [10:34] M-sprite: If there is already an open driver in the kernel for the device, he shouldnt need to do anything [10:34] soreau: poongudi i mean that is there some script or program can scan at startup [10:34] sacarlson: it's just that 1.8.7 (patchlevel 249) seems to be buggy [10:34] poongudi: Well that is a big problem. You need to check your BIOS settings [10:35] soreau: yeah, so do lspci then grep the version ? what is that command ? [10:35] tehbaut: there is no "creation date" data at all (on ext-fs, yet) === root is now known as Guest73491 [10:35] jewhooker2011: hurm c+a+f1 should force you to a tty [10:35] M-sprite: I dont think its a gpu [10:35] soreau: can i use ssh to login a host have a public IP ? [10:35] llutz: this is an NTFS partition [10:35] bullgard4, I'm surprised. Please let me know when you find out what it is. [10:35] M-sprite: I dont know [10:36] hello [10:36] anyone there ? [10:36] soreau. what i need to do in BIOS setting [10:36] jewhooker2011: if it is also giving you a black screen boot up in recovery mode and then login and run dpkg-reconfig [10:36] soreau: what is gpu ? [10:36] what this command do ? svn co file:///svnroot/master/ \ ~/repositories/ [10:36] M-sprite: Oh yes, just have to configure the server correctly [10:36] gotta go, but thanks for all the help sacarlson ! will try again after lunch :) [10:36] ? [10:36] jewhooker2011: sry being lazy run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [10:36] soreau. what i need to do in BIOS setting [10:36] M-sprite: gpu = graphics processing unit [10:36] soreau: like cpu ? i see [10:37] poongudi: You need to enable the card or properly install it. If an installed PCI card isnt reported by lspci, its either not plugged in correctly or its a bios settings issue [10:37] M-sprite: yes [10:37] I'm getting this error for my external HDD...

[10:59] For Linux? [10:59] soreau: interesting ... didn't know that [10:59] Ok lets me try this a different way. In synaptic Package manager I have openjdk-6-jre installed. I right click and order for complete removal and it refuses.

[11:01] soreau@ i have pasted the xorg.0.log file in ubuntu.pastebin.com [11:01] soreau: yeah i know right, but at least if you goto nvid or ati they do have xser drivers to support agp .. but interesting that ati/amd empolyed ppl just fore opensource/linux [11:01] So AMD is better for linux? [11:01] twitch: but yea, AMD bought ATI then dropped the ATI name in favor of Radeon. Now the radeon devs are working heavily on all the new HD cards [11:01] ! restore [11:02] They dropped the ATI name in favor of AMD...

[11:05] Sorry for asking but I had to find out thank you :) [11:05] twitch: good call [11:06] twitch: I get it solved [11:06] twitch: My radeon card used to suck until they started writing awesome drivers for it. Now gallium is just now going to be default in 11.04 for the first time so rv3-5xx radeon cards (9xxx-x1950) should work very well for 3D [11:06] twitch recent cards, AMD is just better across the board [11:06] especially in efficiency [11:06] I'm showing that gnome-utils is installed, but I have no idea how to access boabab disk usage analyser... any ideas? [11:06] jo_: seems I might have been mistaken it was file size limits not bandwidth limits, but you can monitor users usage with iptables so not hard to make your own [11:07] Soreau but does that equal better working under linux? [11:07] ohh nice .. ok i hate intel and never really liked nvidia that much .. will be buying an ati next time, only thing stopped me in the past was linux comp [11:07] jo_: oh but it's on the same system again, so 2 out of 2 wrong, just not my day I guess [11:07] poongudi: That shows you're using a generic intel gpu. I don't know what this card is supposed to do that you have but look in 'dmesg' for success/fail messages. Do you know the name of the kernel module for it? [11:08] tehbaut: can u access it via cli? [11:08] twitch but remember, its called AMD now, the ati name no longer exists. You say you don't like intel? But intel right now is just better them AMD CPU wise [11:09] sereau@ Dtu2xx is the name of kernel module [11:09] helo ubuntuer's [11:09] twitch: i have network controller and ethernet controller, no mention of "wifi" tho [11:09] hobbes: heh we could debate this all day, everyone has their pref's [11:09] ubuntu vs centos [11:09] hi [11:09] who is the best [11:09] Soreau but does that equal better working under linux what you said earlier?

If I then boot into the recovery partition and then try again I can get into windows but Grubloader is gone. Not sure what is cau [11:29] geegeegee: yes ... you need to get the nvidia driver from the site and compile & install it [11:29] geegeegee: keep in mind every kernel update you have to reimnstall nvidia manually [11:30] i have a music folder containing about 2400 files mounted over NFS, and banshee seems to be crawling once it gets to the 30% mark.

[12:20] i have tried to install xen pv-domu ubuntu server 10.04 [12:20] I need to set SUDO_FORCE_REMOVE somehow either in the initrd env or preseed it [12:20] anyone?

[12:23] twitch: correct - part of moving to sudo-ldap requires that "sudo" be removed first. [12:23] twitch, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/eihydaLW [12:24] annunaki2k2: this a dpkg package? [12:24] yes [12:24] twitch: i can choice virtual machine host and i want to know if is importen for me if i'm installing this server as pv-domu [12:24] twitch: sudo-ldap - Provide limited super user privileges to specific users [12:24] twitch, above link i have send my usbtest procedure and i wrote where i have strucked? [12:25] It's sudo, but it grabs it's config from ldap [12:25] either way, to install it, it removes sudo first. If you do this all manually, it's not a problem [12:26] however in a preseeded installation, it borks because it says "You have asked that the sudo package be removed, but no root password has been set" [12:27] âñåì ïðèâåò [12:27] ïî÷åìó ïîñëå óñòàíîâêè óáóíòó íå èãðàåò ìóçûêà è íå ïîêàçûâàåò âèäåî [12:27] OKTAV: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[12:50] surya: sorry i cant help you but your talking about soming ou of scope to the ubuntu dev team .. like i said there is benchmarking tools in disk utils but if that doesnt do it for you .. look at makin g your own? [12:51] When I reboot a machine, then all the net-interfaces seem to come up correctly - the routes are properly set, the IPs are up and so on. [12:51] siddhion, maybe try alt-f2 , "killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel & disown" [12:51] But the machine is not reachable nor can it ping somewhere. [12:51] Only after issuing a /etc/init.d/networking restart everything works. [12:52] MarcRichter: are u on the corrent subnet? [12:52] I have no clue what this might be [12:52] correct [12:52] twitch: Jes [12:52] yes [12:52] MarcRichter: are u filtering icmp ? [12:52] rumpe1, alt-f bringd Panel to the focus along with 'Run Application' window. its all frozen [12:52] ? [12:53] rumpe1, i will try kill all [12:53] twitch,can u tell me where i want to get regarding usbtest? [12:53] rumpe1, ok thank you that worked [12:54] Dr_Willis: hey will where can usb dev's go to talk? [12:55] Hey MarkRichter, yor [12:55] your nick looks mine [12:55] twitch: No, nothing of that [12:56] twitch: It is a complete normal out-of-the-box setup Server and it is connected to a Cisco switch, which filters nothing. [12:56] twitch,can u tell me where can i get regarding usbtest information?? [12:56] MarcRichter: if your on the same subnet but u cannot recive icmp packets there must be a firewall/filter [12:57] surya: ask Dr_Willis or another senior ubuntu helper/dev [12:57] twitch: No, it isn't. The point is, that it only does not work after a reboot and this initial net-device initialisation. As soon as I issue a networking restart, everything works. [12:57] twitch: no idea. stuff that specific proberly dosent have a irc channel [12:57] ok [12:58] Could someone please help me about my screen resolution it wont go past 800x600 any ideas? [12:58] MarcRichter: wow thats weird u restart and it works? [12:58] irc for pthon help??? [12:58] MarcRichter: the device that is [12:58] twitch: Exactly. [12:58] dr_Willis: do u know regarding usbtest? [12:58] MarcRichter: ive seen things like that in the past if some service is trying to get started befor other services it depends on are still loading. but I thought upstart fixed most of those race conditions. [12:58] surya: no idea on usbtest. [12:59] irc for python help ...please anyone suggest me? [12:59] openbees: #python perhaps [12:59] ok thanks [12:59] Dr_Willis: That is exactly my kind of thought - It looks as if the device drivers are initiated after the network - config or such ... [12:59] surya: you're gonna have to start a post on a forum ... which one ... up to you ... do some research, good luck mate [13:00] MarcRichter: as a dirty work around. restart networking from rc.local after a few sec of delay. [13:00] Dr_Willis: Don't know if this is possible, but it feels like that and I don't have an Idea how to analyse this futher. [13:00] openbees: ##learnpython [13:00] Dr_Willis: *gg* That's exactly our current workarround ;) [13:00] Could someone please help me about my screen resolution it wont go past 800x600 any ideas? [13:00] lol Dr_Willis and MarcRichter could be l;axy and put in a script to reload it :P [13:00] lazy [13:00] MarcRichter: upstart dosent use the #'s of the old init system. so you cant move networking down the list that i know of. [13:00] Dr_Willis: But I'm interested in both: A better solution and a clear and reproduceable Bugreport for the devs :) === root is now known as Guest18128 [13:01] Dr_Willis: Can't I add some kind of pre-requirement for upstart? [13:01] MarcRichter: it could be the modules are loading. but the device is just a little slow to respond/get up. Not sure how to delay networking from starting. there may be some upstart options for it. [13:01] MarcRichter: init? [13:02] any of u geeks know anything bout s/r [13:02] twitch: Sorry?

[13:05] i think it has something to do with what we did yesterday [13:05] when i booted debian i got an error that said could not load ICEAuthority file can anyone help?

[13:07] MarcRichter: i dont think so.. the init.d is using some upstart commands/options it seems. [13:08] Already ran an fsck [13:08] hi ppl short question. is there something like "pause" in a batch script in sh files? [13:08] MarcRichter: toss in some echo commands in the scripts and watch what its doing.

[13:09] huh? [13:09] gnome terminal [13:10] Calinou: the script must have an "exit" or ctrl+d command [13:10] Dr_Willis: You're speakting of the init.d Script, not the init - Configfile, don't you? [13:10] it all depeneds on the details of how you are starting the script [13:10] ctrl+c, not d? [13:10] aptitude install -f or apt-get install -f ? [13:10] Calinou: ctrl+c is cancel not close [13:10] MarcRichter: check them both out. i looked in init.d/networking and it looks like it was using some upstart functions just now [13:11] how can i see what speed my nic is operating at? [13:11] (using cli tools) [13:11] found it calinou thx [13:11] aguitel: for what?

It would appear the error is on my ubuntu side - judging by the protocol not supported errors. I'm just not sure what tho change. [13:42] takamarou: try restart the server side [13:43] ActionParsnip: you can see I am a big rookie, but ready to learn. What does this whole stuff mean?? [13:43] aslam: is it pure sata or e-sata [13:43] takamarou: can you ping the server from the client?

[13:51] aslam: did the internal card reader work with other cards types? [13:51] have u pluged it in and gone to "system_.admin-> disk util" and seen if it shows [13:51] errr sorry, integrated. [13:51] I cna't see how the integrated graphics on this system could be all that bad. [13:51] thanks usr13 that solved my dilema man [13:51] takamarou: maybe try nfs4 like: mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 nfs-server:/ /mnt [13:52] bonjoyee: I am using the internal card reader for the first time [13:52] Williams: i suggest you use the packages in ubuntu, it will upgrade for you when required [13:52] unixhacker: NP [13:52] Williams: run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [13:52] I am finally completly moved away from windows junk hurray [13:52] aslam: then it might not be detected at all...first check if it is... [13:52] sacarlson, exactly what I've been trying. sudo mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 192.2.40.73:/nfs/printartsportal /mnt responds with "mount.nfs4: Protocol not Supported" [13:53] takamarou: sorry missed you already tried it [13:53] lol @ unixhacker ... wanna get another nick .. ok sry guys had to say it [13:53] manlymatt83: the only problem with integrated graphic chips is that you loose some of your RAM to it. [13:53] ActionParsnip, trying right now, updating 80MB :/ [13:53] aslam: please pastebin the output of "lspci -v" [13:53] sacarlson, if it helps, NFSv3 throws a different, but similar error - mount.nfs: requested NFS version or transport protocol is not supported [13:53] takamarou: well to verify it's on the ubuntu side can you mount it from any other system? [13:53] bonjoyee: I have used it in windows [13:53] scarlson, lemme try from my local computer.. hold on [13:54] takamarou: or can you run a nfs server on some other ubuntu system to verify the client is configured? [13:54] aslam: ubuntu is not windows..it has to detect it to work.. [13:54] Williams: sounds about right [13:54] usr13: Understood, but then I wouldn't have to use the proprietary nvidia driver, which is what I think is causing my problems [13:54] 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 02) [13:54] Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device fd50 [13:54] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 [13:54] Capabilities: [13:54] Kernel driver in use: agpgart-intel [13:54] Kernel modules: intel-agp [13:54] aslam: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[13:55] sacarlson, that would be a heavy task. To my knowledge none of our other servers have NFS capabilities currently. [13:55] aslam: i am not saying the card reader's not working..just that ubuntu may have not detected it.. [13:55] scarlson, Mounted the NFS perfectly fine on my local ubuntu box. Using -t nfs [13:56] manlymatt83: You don't have to user proprietary nvidia driver in the first place. Who said you did? [13:56] Greetings! [13:56] takamarou: I see another package you might try nvfv4-acl-tools [13:56] !ask > lvh_ [13:56] lvh_, please see my private message [13:57] usr13: the ubuntu software updater told me to switch to it when I initially switched to the discrete graphics chip [13:57] sacarlson, Got that one already too. I fear the solution may be a reboot - unfortunately this is a very heavily used production server. [13:57] takamarou: oh local work!!! maybe it's a firewall thing? [13:57] scarlson, could be. What's the file for firewall settings? [13:58] hey guys [13:58] i cant find suspeneded sentece in my lucid software center. helop [13:58] takamarou: I'm not sure how your network is configured, what is the gatway to the network? [13:58] anyone knows hot to get Suspended sentences in lucid? [13:59] scarlson, 192.2.40.1 [13:59] scarlson, actually, this one is outbound.. so 192.2.46.1 [13:59] takamarou: is this the side with the NAS server on it? [13:59] Is anyone running 11.04? [13:59] manlymatt83: but you don't have to. The open source nv driver works just fine. (as long as you do not need 3D acceleration) [13:59] I am back [13:59] AbhijiT: look for a ppa for the app if you cant find it in the normal repos [14:00] manlymatt83: i am but its supported and discussed in #ubuntu+1 [14:00] manlymatt83: try #ubuntu+1 [14:00] manlymatt83: the guys in #ubuntu+1 are [14:00] Dr_Willis, :/ [14:00] usr13: ahhh, okay [14:00] AbhijiT: what sort of magical answer were you expecting? === peregrinator_six is now known as GTK3 [14:00] Dr_Willis, :D ammm why they only availe it in maverick but not in my lucid? :( [14:01] takamarou: also if it's outside the mask of the local network the nfs might be configured not to allow connections to it, you need to look inside your nas settings for that also [14:01] AbhijiT: ive no idea what the app even is. could be you dont have some repos enabled.. or it was dropped.. [14:01] Dr_Willis, hmm ok np thanks for yout time [14:01] hi [14:01] Dr_Willis: AbhijiT just read the recent post on OMG ;) [14:02] manlymatt83: For normal desktop use 3D acceleration is not needed. BUT, I usually don't use onbard graphics simply because in my opinion, it is less effecient - but that's just me. [14:02] vish, comeing from there only!

[14:02] serkan333, it should be installed by default; try "which perl " [14:02] manlymatt83: In other words, I'm not a big fan of MBs with onbard graphics. [14:03] AbhijiT: That says 10.10, not Lucid. [14:03] sacarlson, sorry, had to run down an IT issue. They are actually on seperate networks. The NAS has a gateway of 192.2.40.1... but the client computer has dual NICs... I suppose that could be the problem [14:03] Pici, yeah that is what i want. i want that game in my lucid [14:03] manlymatt83: Is this a laptop you are talking about? [14:03] active perl [14:03] who eber is DoS'imn me grow up [14:03] sacarlson, I have both of the clients IPs (internal and external) specifically allowed inside of the NAS.. but that still could be an issue [14:03] serkan333: No, the command is 'which perl'. Perl is installed by default. [14:04] usr13: yes. my t510 has both onboard and discrete, and has the ability to switch between them on the fly, but that isn't supported in ubuntu. So I have to choose one or the other. [14:04] twitch:http://paste.ubuntu.com/565378/ [14:04] serkan333, on activestate website?

[14:04] AbhijiT: I don't know sorry [14:04] ActionParsnip, I've updated the drivers, but still max resolution is too low. I've tried xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024X768 - no luck [14:04] I've just been having a lot of issues with the nvidia discrete card.... flooding /var/log/messages, etc. All issues people are experiencing. [14:04] Pici, np [14:05] manlymatt83: I really don't know the effects of battery life, and I've not had a laptop with those features, so I wouldn't know. You'd have to ask someone else about that. [14:05] Williams: try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig then reboot [14:05] manlymatt83: 10.10 or 10.04 ? [14:06] 10.10 [14:06] aslam: is that the entire output? === forkkk is now known as forkup [14:06] bonjoyee: let me check again [14:07] manlymatt83: Again I don't know. ...Just wondering if it is particular to 10.10 and not an issue with 10.04.

[14:07]  [14:07] manlymatt83: And if it IS particular to 10.10, it will probably be fixed soon. [14:07] usr13: also, now my laptop wqon't boot into the newer kernels, and it seems to be an issue with the graphics. [14:08] guys... how i can checked multicast forwarding table on ubuntu? urgent... :) [14:08] pici why i cant use this ($) on python [14:08] lol i'm filing a report on your DoS [14:09] * AbhijiT finaly got it from their website [14:09] superman097, i dont know anything specific, but i assume its just like you would do in any linux [14:09] ahh.. found the right channel [14:09] hi everyone, i'm having a problem with KDM and XDMCP on Ubuntu 10.10, I can't seem to connect to it, I have already adjusted my Xauthority (added * to add all hosts to connect) and kdmrc (enable XDMCP).

If this is about python programming, #python would be a better place. [14:09] kiss ya little ... yes little bot net good bye [14:09] twitch: Excuse me?

[14:18] yeah, I'm running the latest: [14:18] nvidia-current is already the newest version. [14:18] manlymatt83: I think if you just remove xorg.conf (or rename it) you can revert to the OS driver. [14:19] takamarou: what ip address does the server see you as? if your on wan can you see what you look like from a browser to http://whatismyip.com [14:19] Why do I see in some instrcutions on how to install a software something like this... ./name.sh or ./anyname.something [14:19] manlymatt83: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf or mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [14:19] twitch, you mean i am not asking ubuntu related ?

[14:20] sacarlson, well, locally the server sees me as 192.2.40.117. No GUI on the ubuntu box.. so I'll have to get creative [14:20] d4n1s: what are you trying to install [14:20] does it matter?

You can test that. While you are in this session, do lsmod |grep nv and to it in the next session and you'll see the difference. [14:21] ikonia I haven't seen it just on vmware I have seen it multiple times [14:21] BluesKaj: Thanks for the correction.

[14:22] ikonia ./filename or ./path to filename? === marcos is now known as Guest99535 [14:23] d4n1s: if you are in the same directory as the file, just ./filename if not ./full_path_to_file_name [14:23] or drop to a tty ctrl+alt +f1 , the ctrl+alt+f7 to get back [14:24] Hi!

I'll allow that on the NAS [14:24] !dontzap | BluesKaj [14:24] BluesKaj: To re-enable the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace combination that restarts your X server see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/DontZap [14:24] manlymatt83: BluesKaj Ctrl-Alt-Del gives options.... [14:24] takamarou: ya that's what you will need to do [14:24] hi all [14:24] Is there any way to find out if the user logged in via an automatic login (vs typing in their password at the gdm login screen)? [14:25] Oli``: no [14:25] sacarlson, same error. [14:25] takamarou: oh and what if your ip changes? do you have static ip at that point? [14:25] bonjoyee: in Hardware drivers its has only driver for my wifi , which is from broadcom [14:25] manlymatt83: BluesKaj ... but restarting X is not one of them ... oh well. [14:25] Oli``: the security log may word it differently, but I don't think so [14:25] takamarou: you might have to reset it after you change it [14:25] ikonia, why are you asking this ? [14:25] today i received an email alert from my intrusion detection system and i am wondering if this file is normal in ubuntu. i received "File '/dev/.blkid.tab' present on /dev. Possible hidden file. [14:25] GHH: to help you [14:25] is .blkid.tab normal in ubuntu? [14:25] ikonia: where would that get logged? some sort of pam log? [14:25] sacarlson, Yeah. I've got a static IP. The odd thing is is that it's not that. The static IP should look something like 161.135.*.* [14:25] shell: yes, it's normal [14:26] ab' present on /dev. Possible hidden file. [14:26] Oli``: sort of, check out /var/log see what's in there [14:26] ikonia: okay thank you [14:26] oh yeah twitch , thanks , I'd forgotten about that [14:26] takamarou: what does ifconfig show? [14:26] nps [14:26] Oli``: that info is in /etc/gdm/custom.conf [14:26] what's the best way to restart my ubuntu setup and run fsck if the newer kernels don't wanna work? [14:26] GHH: See: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rkhunter/+question/98038 [14:26] they just hang [14:27] usr13 thx [14:27] sacarlson, http://pastie.org/1549026 [14:27] ikonia, But i do not think so that name of source need [14:27] shell: See: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rkhunter/+question/98038 [14:27] d4n1s: That was mistake [14:27] takamarou: you might also have a adsl box to setup on that side to forward incoming trafic? but you start it so should still work [14:27] GHH: I do, so you can either tell me, or stop asking for help [14:27] d4n1s: That link was not for you. Sorry, was a mistake. [14:27] usr13: excellent, thanks for the link [14:27] vega-_: Sure but I'm trying to edge around the case when if it's set to autologin and then the user logs out. They then manually log in (and don't meet the criteria for what I'm trying to do) [14:27] usr13 ahh ok [14:28] takamarou: so this is at your client? [14:28] sacarlson, correct [14:28] sacarlson, the NAS has three IPs, all on the same internal subnet. 192.2.40.73, 74, and 75 [14:28] takamarou: so then we need to know how it's routed sudo route [14:29] Gotta go. Bye. [14:29] 3 ip's :S [14:30] takamarou: so Is your NAS have is hooked to a switch that's on the eth0 side? [14:31] sacarlson, http://pastie.org/1549038 [14:31] ikonia, thanks [14:31] sacarlson, correct. [14:31] how might i see the inotify message history (the disapearing popup notifications) [14:32] takamarou: your gateway is on a diferent subnet .. [14:32] takamarou: I guess it should work then, I see nothing wrong with that [14:32] twitch, I know. The gateway's subnet is the primary gateway.. Has to be that way for external access reasons. [14:32] sacarlson, Feel my pain? [14:33] takamarou: so your gateway can route different zones? [14:33] takamarou: well I know nothing about the NAS side so that's as much as I can tell you [14:34] twitch, the gateways are actually the same device. It's a firewall setup with different zones for security. Theres a passthrough from 192.2.46.* to 192.2.40.* [14:34] takamarou, may I make a suggestion , sometmes adding IPs such as the NAS IP to /etc/hosts.allow will help [14:34] takamarou: what version of ubuntu is on this ubuntu box? [14:34] sacarlson, 10.10 Server [14:34] takamarou: ahh ok if it has the rules .. ermm weird [14:35] BluesKaj, does that require a network service restart? [14:35] nop [14:35] no [14:35] takamarou, it might [14:36] BluesKaj, tried it. No luck. Boy is this a pain in the ass [14:36] takamarou: oh I forgot one more thing on ubuntu sudo iptable -L [14:36] takamarou: can u even ping it? or nmap it's subnet [14:36] hi, I have a problem with an email server. When I send an email to certain domains I receive 550-You e-mail server have incorrectly configured reverse DNS (RFC 1912 [14:36] takamarou: can you ping any of the routers ip's (46.1 or 40.1 ) ? [14:36] hello all.. any ide which package contains "send" command? or how to find that out? [14:37] sacarlson, iptable command not found.. [14:37] cabrilo: apt-file [14:37] takamarou, also add portmap then the Ips like : ALL:192.168.x.x [14:37] twitch, I can ping it. will nmap in a moment [14:37] takamarou: sorry sudo iptables -L [14:37] cabrilo: apt-file search foobar is searching all packages from the repo containing the file "foobar" [14:37] ddilinger, I can ping everything [14:37] I just loaded and installed Ubuntu server and after the reboot its saying something about Kernel Panic and now I cant even get the computer to turn off or reboot what do I do here [14:37] iceroot, beatiful. thanks [14:37] takamarou: it pings, just the NAT seems to throw away internet bound packets? [14:38] sacarlson, http://pastie.org/1549066 [14:38] hurm if u can ping it it's either a filer on a port or service not running [14:38] ApacheOmega what is it panicing about? [14:38] #quit [14:38] takamarou: WIDE open [14:38] its definatly an iptables problem, if thats the iptables on your router it shouldn't be empty [14:38] usr13: great... I rebooted and the machine came up fine with the new kernel. Rebooted again, and it hung. Rebooted again, and it came up. hardware issue? [14:38] i dont remember what a nat setup looks like, but it needs something in there usually :) [14:38] ddilinger, that's the iptables on my client [14:39] tev: not syncing VFS [14:39] manlymatt83, hung how? [14:39] Hi there [14:39] takamarou: ahh, hmm then that is just tfine [14:39] ApacheOmega not able to mount root fs? [14:39] sacarlson, is that a bad thing? [14:39] takamarou: nmap it [14:39] tev: and theres some other stuff it's saying also i have to go check [14:39] twitch, nmap not installed.. [14:39] takamarou: so this direct connect to a switch that connects to this server, so what is different in what does work? what ip was it that worked? [14:40] can somebody help me? I have a little question [14:40] cabrilo: during the splash screen, it's just hanging. Then the splash screen disappears and I'm left with a blank screen. [14:40] twitch, I can run it locally. are you just looking to see open ports? or test my network abilities? [14:40] rokyronnie: ask away [14:40] takamarou: no wide open is good thing, no problems in iptables sorry [14:40] takamarou: "sudo apt-get install nmap | sudo nmap -sS " [14:40] all I want to know, is how can I add 2 NTFS partitions to be automatcly mounted at start up [14:40] tev: yes and it says swapper not tainted on the next line [14:40] !fstab | rokyronnie [14:40] scarlson, my local box has an IP of 192.2.40.117. The difference is that the ubuntu box has two nics, and a gateway of 192.2.46.1 [14:40] rokyronnie: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [14:40] takamarou: u might need -PN as well [14:41] ApacheOmega: tons of hits on howto fix that [14:41] http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+not+syncing+VFS+&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe= [14:41] twitch, I'd prefer not to install nmap. Trying to keep this server pretty clean - it's production and I don't want too many bloated tools on it [14:41] twitch takamarou: is working on the client side of nfs, the server is a NAS [14:41] Anyone familiar with hpn-ssh [14:41] takamarou: nmap is tiny ...... [14:41] nmap bloated? wtf? [14:41] thank you [14:41] tev: how do I even get the pc to turn off or reboot i guess I'm saying how do I correct this? [14:41] manlymatt83, remove the splash screen. google to find out how, or just press something like f8 or f9 for it to disappear. then see the message [14:41] twitch, a local nmap of the NAS gives http://pastie.org/1549076 [14:41] tev: calm the language down please. [14:42] ikonia yes sir nazi police [14:42] hurm the box is is open ... [14:42] what a idiot [14:42] I am sure every Ubuntu and Gnome user has minimized a window, and wondered how to find it again. How does one find their minimized window+apps ? [14:42] ApacheOmega: at this point :P you can just poweroff and boot with the cd [14:42] !gr | tev [14:42] tev: #ubuntu-gr και #kubuntu-gr για Έλληνες χρηστές / #ubuntu-gr kai #kubuntu-gr gia Ellhnes xrhstes [14:43] tev: it wont even let me do that i gueas i have to literally unplug - also I added LAMP-UBUNTU Desktop and a couple other things durng the set up should I not do that? [14:44] lol sould of read it [14:44] i must say, this is my first time using linux: i love it [14:45] how to take logs of terminal when I run a command that will save everything printed on the terminal on a txt [14:45] takamarou: if u can nmpa it and all those ports are open ... there's a filter somewhere [14:45] ikonia ? [14:45] user13 ? [14:45] takamarou: prolly on the router [14:45] d4n1s: use a redirect, eg ls -la > file.txt [14:45] tev: you there or did they kick you off again [14:45] ApacheOmega: he's not in the channel [14:45] d4n1s: "script" [14:46] twitch, the odd thing is that 1: I can mount the NFS fine from my local machine and 2: I was able to connect a week ago before a restart.. and no firewall settings have changed [14:46] ikonia: well could you help me cause he was about to give me an answer to my problem [14:46] ApacheOmega: I don't know what your question is [14:46] pareLi, first time using linux and your running in irssi ...yeah sure it is :) [14:47] can we install DVD player in ubuntu ?

[14:47] d4n1s: do what ? [14:47] ikonia turn my router in a webserver [14:47] d4n1s: that's not really an ubuntu issue [14:47] irssi was the coolest irc client i could find [14:47] !dvd | v_ [14:47] v_: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons.

[14:47] Alt-Tab <--is that how i find my lost or minimized windows ? [14:47] v_: you simply need the decoder, any player can then play dvd [14:48] d4n1s: then take it to an offtopic channe, this one is for ubuntu support only [14:48] I'm having a Kernel panic problem it says something about cant mount root fs [14:48] ubottu: to play movies what should i instal ? [14:48] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:48] twitch, different subnet.

[14:48] am trying to download 10.10 via wubi [14:48] ApacheOmega: what kernel is trying to boot (version number) [14:49] for some odd reason in the setup its saying amd64.iso.torrent. i have an intel machine. whats going on ? [14:49] BluesKaj, how can you see that im using irssi? [14:49] Rock_Star_: amd64 is just 64bit [14:49] lol ok ikonia, thanks mate. just making sure. [14:49] takamarou: ok dunno but im limited becuase im wasted and going to bed now :P but i still reckon it's a filter :P prolly wrong but thtas much hunch ... try telnet port 139 .. anyway goodnight === WamPIRe-- is now known as wampire__ [14:50] ikonia: i think 0.872285 [14:50] ApacheOmega: that's not a kernel version === herton_lunch is now known as herton [14:50] Rock_Star_: amd got to the desktop 64bit market first so for a while amd were theonly 64bit desktop CPUs. It will run on intel 64bit too [14:50] its saying the size is only 17 GB though . [14:50] Rock_Star_: 17GB is VERY big [14:50] is it ? [14:50] Rock_Star_: yes [14:50] I got loads of space on my hard drive though was hoping to use more. [14:51] i did set that to 25 GB however [14:51] pareLi, right click on a nick in my irs client and choose "version" , it tells which irc client you are running [14:51] "Unreliable CPU Thermal Sensor; Monitoring Disabled" -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/653770 <-- anyone know a workaround? [14:51] err irc client [14:51] greg3000: if there was a workaround it would be in the bug report [14:51] ikonia: i cant find the version number because my computer is now stuck because of this I cant even manually turn off - I can only unplug the whole thing and I dont know if thats a good Idea at this point [14:51] <[bean]> pareLi: type /ctcp BluesKaj version [14:51] alright guys its a big day for me. im finally going to migrate to ubuntu. As sad as it sounds i been a windows user for way too long [14:51] ikonia: they say it's undecided importance, yet it's very important since my PC shutoff last night during calculations [14:51] ApacheOmega: sounds like there maybe a hardware problem if you can't turn it off [14:52] greg3000: that doesn't change what I said [14:52] ikonia: bugs can still exist with workarounds [14:52] is 10.10 good guys ? [14:52] Rock_Star_: Evidently not if you care about your CPU speed in 64bit [14:52] greg3000: if there was a work around it would be in the bug [14:53] Rock_Star_: personal opinion, try it [14:53] ikiona: then how do I fix this and could it be because i INSTALLED LAMP and UBUNTU Desktop during installation [14:53] greg3000: what are you talking about, care about your cpu speed in 64bit [14:53] Rock_Star_: yes [14:53] how do u mean, greg3000 ? [14:53] Whats wrong with my CPU ? [14:53] Rock_Star_: nothing, he's talking nonsense [14:53] <[bean]> pareLi: btw i use weechat. its curse based irc client just like irssi but its smaller, more customizable, and has integrated nicklist and supports more lanaguage for scripting [14:53] ok [14:53] I mean, if your CPU gets going to fast, with thermal sensors being disabled, your PC will shut down unexpectedly (assuming the motherboard catches the overheating) [14:54] WHAT? [14:54] Rock_Star_: ignore him [14:54] Rock_Star_: I just discovered it personally last night [14:54] I am running two monitors at different resolution (laptop display + external). Is it possible to lock my mouse to only visible portions of the screen? [14:54] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/653770 [14:54] hmm [14:54] greg3000: please stop giving people false information, that is a bug for YOU, not everone [14:54] I need a lil help figuring out why UFW isn't working, even though I allow 80/443 I can't connect o my site when ufw is enabled, this is my ufw status along with iptables -nvL http://paste.pocoo.org/show/335810/ [14:54] Rock_Star_: ignore it [14:54] so weechat.. better than irrsi? [14:54] here we go guys [14:54] am rebooting and loading my ubuntu [14:54] cheers ikonia [14:54] ikonia: It's a bug for 64bit, check it out yourself, not limited to any one motherboard or processor type: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/653770 [14:54] <[bean]> pareLi: in my opinion. not everyone would say so though. lots of hardcore irssi fans [14:54] So I've rebooted about 20 times today. Under 2.6.35-22-generic the machine always comes up fine. Under 2.6.35-24-generic or 2.6.35-25-generic the machine only comes up about half the time. And if it does come up, it's laggy....as in, I'll hear the sound for the login box but the actual login box won't pop up for 20 seconds after that. Or the machine will just hang (all sound, video gone) for 20-30 seconds and then work again. [14:55] greg3000: and yet I don't suffer from it...... [14:55] sacarlson twitch: looks like it was a filter problem. I changed the gateway on the ubuntu box to 192.2.40.1 and now I get a permissions error on the mount - much easier to fix. [14:55] ikonia: maybe you don't use your CPU enough [14:55] lol [14:55] pareLi, ctcp may not work on my nick due to cloaking [14:55] The odd part is that I was running 2.6.35-25-generic yesterday on this machine and it was working fine with no issues. Does this seem to be hardware failure? Or since it's always working on 2.6.35-22-generic, perhaps something got installed through auto-update that messed things up? [14:55] greg3000: or maybe it's not a problem for everyone [14:55] "that's what she said" [14:55] bean: im new to linux and irrsi, so im no hardcore fan of irssi [14:55] if i want to connect with tev: again how do I find the guy because he was just about to tell me how to fix my problem b4 he was booted off [14:55] BluesKaj, ctcp did not work [14:56] ApacheOmega: he's not on freenode at the moment [14:56] BluesKaj: pareLi maybe take this to #ubuntu-offtopic [14:56] or #freenode [14:56] I'm just trying to figure out how to fix this without downgrading from 10.10 [14:56] <[bean]> pareLi: then give weechat a go and be sure to read the getting started guide. its very helpful [14:56] greg3000: wait for a fix to be released [14:56] whats the ubuntu tool that people use to search for multiple strings in a document ... command line driven ... [14:56] * greg3000 ain't got time to wait [14:56] it won't work on my nick pareLi , due to the fact that I'm cloaked [14:56] greg3000: then we can't help [14:56] !cloak | pareLi [14:56] pareLi: Want to hide your IP while connected to freenode? See http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks - More information available in #freenode [14:56] ikonia: maybe you can't help, but possibly others could [14:57] greg3000: no [14:57] bean: getting weechat now [14:57] * greg3000 chuckles [14:57] is there a log of package updates somewhere so I can see what was done between yesterday and today? [14:57] <[bean]> pareLi: also make sure you are getting version 0.3.4 [14:57] HI there. I need to know a good way to mount smb shares for a given user session. I suppose I have to use fstab, but even before this step, I can't mount a share without wrong user rights mapping. Can some one help me ? [14:57] <[bean]> it has alot of fixes [14:58] manlymatt83: /var/log/dpkg.log [14:58] greg3000: the bug was just opened this morning? [14:58] gpc: it was reported first 2010-10-02 [14:58] ActionParsnip: Thanks. Do you agree that my issue sounds like hardware failure? Otherwise, why would two kernels just randomly stop working? [14:58] WENAS [14:58] gpc: so about 4months old [14:58] wenass [14:58] or 3 [14:59] alguen me echa una mano con la instalacion de una grafica [14:59] no se como matar la x [14:59] <[bean]> english please | ingles por favor [14:59] manlymatt83: not sure, are ther ebugs logged with the bad kernel?

[14:59] !es | n3 [15:00] takamarou: I thought there was just a switch inbetween you and that NAS cool glad you found it [15:00] uy [15:00] hi i'm using 10.04 and i got some wlan problems. i tried using ndiswrapper but afterwards i uninstalled it and now i can't get a wireless connection at all [15:00] RE: CPU Thermal Sensor Disabled, is there some other app to monitor and turn up the fan when the CPU gets going? [15:00] ActionParsnip: haven't been able to find anything. Though it would seem odd that -22 is working but -24 isn't... they should be pretty close, no? [15:01] Since the ubuntu 10.10 method has a bug reported in October? [15:01] Can some one help me on mounting samba shares [15:01] ? [15:01] ActionParsnip: Could there be a difference in the modules being loaded in one vs the other? [15:01] hello [15:01] I updated ubuntu 11.04 last night, Now I cannot add any launcher to the desktop. [15:01] quit [15:01] sacarlson, There is. eth0 and the NAS are just seperated by a switch, but eth1 and the NAS are seperated by a firewall. The gateway on the client uses eth1.. hence the problem. I'll have to figure out some forwarding on that, then. Thanks so much for your help. I appreciated it [15:01] Ubuntu_1104: 11.04 support is in #ubuntu+1, not #ubuntu [15:02] is it possible to go directly from jaunty to lucid? [15:02] manlymatt83: yes as the modules are compiled different [15:02] What does this channel do? [15:02] zamba: no you must stop at karmic first [15:02] zamba, no, you ned to install jaunty-karmic-lucid [15:03] ok [15:03] Ubuntu_1104: its where your release is supported [15:03] is there some kind of drop down terminal like in FPS games?? that would be cool to have [15:03] Ubuntu_1104: #ubuntu is for support of stable and released versions of Ubuntu. #ubuntu+1 is where the in-development release is supported/discussed. [15:03] ActionParsnip: If I were to get 10.04 from the website today, would it come with the kernel as of October 2010 or as of now? Are the ISOs updated? [15:04] bc81: Either tilda for gnome-like environments or yakuake for KDE [15:04] why my desktop gnome visual effect can not be changed?

The NAS is 192.2.40.73, so it has to pass from 192.2.46.1 to 192.2.40.1... that's where it gets hung up [15:09] Think they added support for the newer idevices in 10.10 [15:09] !Info nvidia-settings [15:09] hopefully .. can i upgrade my ubuntu without a cd?

[15:35] kernell panic can not mount fs [15:36] Hi all, so I rebooted into 2.6.35-25-generic and hit F8 during the splash screen... it got through that fine, but then the screen just went black right before the ubuntu graphical login prompt should have come up. It did that 3 times in a row. Caps lock was still working, but things were just hung. I switched back into booting into 2.6.35-22-generic and now things work great again. Any ideas? [15:36] ActionParsnip, what kind of chipset i have on my comp , could u find that or how can i find that?? [15:36] yo [15:36] ApacheOmega, certainly not ram centered the problem. when does this happen? thile booting? after installing?

[15:38] took me 20 mins from downloading wubi to be running on 10.10 [15:38] awesome piece of kit lads [15:38] nibbler_: according to my system logs, it got updated to 2.6.35-25-generic two weeks ago... so I was running on that for two weeks without issues. [15:38] pksadiq, your download is not working!!! [15:38] will tor work as a cloak on weechat or irssi?

[15:40] grub.conf? [15:40] manlymatt83, in the grub menu, edit the kernel line [15:40] nibbler_: Do those changes get saved or are they only for that boot?

[16:06] Pici: is installing automatic updates important or could it cause a problem after reboot [16:06] i need to change the bind soutce code [16:06] in order to change it [16:06] vanco: have fun with that. [16:06] ApacheOmega: Its important. [16:06] i first have to study it [16:06] can anyone help ? [16:06] and fedora came with bind [16:07] but here i have problems instaling it [16:07] vanco: how about just grabbing the source code? it's freely available.

This might mean you need to manually fix this pack [16:08] vanco: "sudo apt-get install bind9" [16:08] no way [16:08] yes way [16:08] vanco: if that command returns an error, how about sharing it with the rest of us? [16:09] if sudo killall -9 freeradius is the wayt o kill the freeradius process, how can I restart it without rebooting?

Do I need to do something to "reload" my group permissions or somesuch?

[16:13] Rock_star_11: you might also might want to fix broken packages via synaptic (if any). Go to synaptic>>Custom Filters>>choose "broken". If there are any packages that come up, upgrade/reinstall/remove/fix those. [16:13] !grub | ApacheOmega [16:13] ApacheOmega: grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [16:13] oops sorry Rock_star_11 , system admin / console [16:14] thank you Mr. Robot [16:14] miniuser: well of course it does. [16:14] BluesKaj, am on systems package manager [16:14] Hi, is there a way to kill a ssh connection without closing the terminal? - I have a connection which hangs after I have typed my password. [16:15] ctrl+c does not work. [16:15] Morten_: if its the only ssh session, press alt+f2 and type "killall ssh" [16:15] Rock_star_11, as RishavT said , open synaptic /edit /fixbroken packages/apply [16:15] sipior, really? [16:16] sipior, theres no way, windows 7 will resolve a "www..." without entering a dns server [16:16] BluesKaj, broken package is empty mate [16:16] nothing in that list [16:16] RishavT, thanks :) but what if I have more than one? [16:16] miniuser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_DNS [16:16] then I should look in running processes and kill the rigth one? [16:16] can someone tell me how to convert a bmp to xpm, i got an old cool win2000 boot screen that i want to use as the splash screen in in grub [16:16] Rock_star_11, did click on apply? [16:17] Morten_: Uh I'm not sure, but you can try that. [16:17] ZaNeIuM: convert foo.bmp foo.xpm === Guest12087 is now known as jack__ [16:17] RishavT, ok - but thanks for the first advice, worked like a charm :) [16:17] Rock_star_11, what app/package are you trying to install ? [16:18] llutz, sorry i forget to say curring im on a windows system [16:18] Morten_: np :) [16:18] can you do it for me now llutz [16:18] ZaNeIuM: llutz's command will work if you have imagemagick installed [16:18] let me try again hopefully this should work [16:18] ZaNeIuM: ##windows [16:18] * BluesKaj forgets the gnome app paths in the panel...guess I should brush up [16:18] hi...after upgrading today the new flash plugin package, I can't watch youtube videos anymore [16:19] jrib: your links were of great help. It works now. Just one thing : how do you specify a share point with a space in its name ? I know it's stupid, but it's historical. I nedd to deal with it [16:19] ZaNeIuM: http://www.pictureresize.org/online-images-converter.html [16:19] can someone tell me why I'm getting these messages: http://paste.ubuntu.com/565442/. I asked someone last night how to change my plymouth theme and these are the commands he told me to run. I don't understand what is happening when I run them. [16:19] DannyButterman: mount\ point OR 'mount point' [16:19] BluesKaj, its working now mate === administrator is now known as Guest11897 [16:20] Rock_star_11, ok share with us what you did [16:20] hey all [16:20] is there any know bug in ubuntu-server 10.04 LTS installer ? [16:20] i want java tutorials for open office extension development any one help me [16:20] BluesKaj, i did as u said, went to synaptics, then looked for broken . although it was empty i pressed apply [16:20] i want java tutorials for open office extension development any one help me [16:20] and it downloaded something [16:20] i want java tutorials for open office extension development any one help me [16:21] and once that was downloaded, i went back to software central and managed to download the app this time. [16:21] i want java tutorials for open office extension development any one help me [16:21] Guest11897: stop it. [16:21] hello === Guest11897 is now known as Openmind [16:21] i dont understand why instaler change my partition table from like msdos to hfs [16:21] how to add recently used folder to gnome? [16:21] Hey. Any of you guys know a newbies guide for making dualboot with windows xp and ubuntu? [16:21] Rock_star_11, ok good , can you find the terminal/console ? [16:21] i want java tutorials for open office extension development any one help me [16:21] i want java tutorials for open office extension development any one help me [16:22] Openmind: that should be in #java [16:22] Ok I just installed UBUNTU Server and this time I finally had no problems on reboot this time where do I go now to finish setup? [16:22] its virtual host with virtual disk in image. can u explain to me pls ? [16:22] DaGeek247: hi, lol [16:22] ApacheOmega: i guess that depends on what you want to set up. [16:23] if sudo killall -9 freeradius is the wayt o kill the freeradius process, how can I restart it without rebooting? [16:23] !dualboot | JesperSW [16:23] JesperSW: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [16:23] jrib : I may have wrongly explained the problem. one of my share names is 'Photo Files'. Like that. No underscore but a space. If I happen to put this share name in /etc/fstab, the mount process will get very angry because it will think Files is the mount point for //myserver/Files. [16:23] Roasted: that's not the way to kill it... [16:23] ty sir' [16:23] Roasted: that surely can't be the recommended way to kill freeradius :-) [16:23] hi calinou [16:23] it's the only way I know how [16:23] and it works [16:24] sipior: I had LINUX and TOMcat installed now do I have to configure both of those now or are [16:24] what's the proper way? [16:24] I uninstalled xserver on an ubuntu machine and now tty7 never drops to a shell, anyone know how to fix that? [16:24] DannyButterman: precede the space with a \ [16:24] Abhinadai: Thats not an error message. It's just saying you dont have any themes installed. To install plymouth themes, open up synaptic and search for "plymouth". you should get a list of themes. install them. then run that command, and you'll be asked to choose from that list. [16:24] Sipior:or are they already configured after reboot just happend [16:25] Who's a good DNS provider for round robin and auto failover? [16:25] DannyButterman: erm, disregard that. « man fstab » says you should use: \040 for a space [16:25] jiffe, f7 is the desktop, try anything from f1 to f6 [16:25] ApacheOmega: tomcat was likely configured when it was installed, but easy enough to check to see if it's running. [16:25] sipior, what do you recommend for nuking freeradius? [16:25] BluesKaj: well f7 is the default when it boots up, I see it loading and it just hangs after it shows loading apache [16:26] sipior: how do I check to see if both Tomcat and LAMP are running [16:26] Roasted: something along the lines of "sudo service freeradius stop", i should think. [16:26] jiffe, ctrl+alt+f1-f6 [16:26] For adding a mounted filesystem to ubuntu is there a more userfriendly way than editing /etc/fstab? [16:26] BluesKaj: I know I can switch, I'm just trying to fix the default so when it boots it drops straight to shell [16:26] mdmkolbe, I think there's a GUI in software center. [16:26] ApacheOmega: you have a web browser, right? [16:26] BluesKaj, dont know what happened. my screen froze. i had to reboot [16:26] mdmkolbe, I forget the name. I think I just searched for fstab though. [16:26] lol highlights :( [16:27] BluesKaj, i never thought i would experience this on linux. thought it was always windows [16:27] Rock_star_11, ok good , can you find the terminal/console ? [16:27] yes , i can, BluesKaj [16:27] sipior: yeah but not on the pc I installed UBUNTU server on [16:27] how can I rollback an updated package? [16:27] ApacheOmega: well point it at the server you just brought up. really? that was hard? [16:28] ApacheOmega: you might see with ps -A or sudo netstat -pant === airtonix is now known as jadakren [16:28] BluesKaj, how would i freeze? odd dont u think ? [16:28] Rock_star_11, copy and paste this into the terminal, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:28] the whole line ? BluesKaj ? [16:28] Rock_star_11, yes starting with sudo [16:29] m_tadeu: click on the package (in synaptic). Then go to Package(Main Menu)>>Force version [16:29] ok it wont let me copy paste. i have to type it in console [16:29] highlight the line , then copy [16:29] Rock_star_11: Try shift-insert [16:30] Rishav_T: but for that I have to know what the previous version is, right? or does synaptic tell me that? [16:30] BluesKaj, when i typed sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [16:30] how do i move all files in one directory to another wih the terminal? [16:30] nothing happend, it asked me for my password then went straight to the prompt [16:30] i know mv, but i dont know the syntax [16:31] sacarlson: yeah I tried sudo netstat - pant and it brought up my tcp and tcp6 and the state the mysql apache and java is at Listen [16:31] bc81: cp -a /path/to/source/dir/ /path/to/destination/dir/ [16:31] ok good Rock_star_11 , then you had no pending installs or broken packages freezing the download from the repos [16:31] jrib: great ! it works ! thank you so much [16:32] ah thanks BluesKaj you're a star [16:32] bc81: oh best be sudo cp -a /path/source/ /path/destination/ [16:32] BluesKaj, however, on synaptics when i click on missing recommended pack , it gives me a list. surely i ought to download them right ? [16:32] now Rock_star_11 , is your desktop frezing up or what was it ? [16:33] Rock_star_11, yes [16:33] BluesKaj, it happened earlier, it literaly froze, couldnt move my mouse etc. had to physically reboot the pc [16:33] sacarlson: thanks a lot !! [16:33] Rock_star_11, how is the mouse etc now? [16:34] all is normal, BluesKaj [16:34] Now, that is [16:34] good [16:34] hi, could anyone enable xdmp in gdm for 10.10? [16:34] BluesKaj, on synaptics, do i just "mark all upgrades" ? [16:34] I know there's a bug, but is there a workaround? [16:35] Rock_star_11, close synaptic , open the terminal , sudo apt-get update [16:37] Rock_star_11, then do, sudo apt-get upgrade ...that's the best and safest method to upgrade your setup in my experience ...package mangers can be finicky sometimes [16:37] BluesKaj, too late, i had already clicked on the selected ones in synaptics and its downloading as we speak [16:37] damn [16:37] Hello guys [16:37] Rock_star_11, don't worry , synaptic is the best package manager anyway === justin2 is now known as jaymhoff [16:38] BluesKaj, ill still sudo apt-get update, once synaptics done installing softwares === herton_away is now known as herton [16:38] gui package manager that is [16:39] If I install photoshop cs5 with wine and install some fonts from dafont and install this fonts on ubuntu photoshop will recognize this fonts ?????

[16:39] oops, wrong channel [16:39] BluesKaj, isnt it sudo apt-get install update ? [16:40] ok, so I want to make a script that tells the computer to change the mac randomly and get a new IP at 30 second intervals. I have most of the script written already just when I run the script I lose connection because the MAC has been changed is there a way to have it autoconnect to my SSID with a passord already inside the script?? [16:40] Hey, I need a little bit of help. [16:40] BluesKaj, because when i typed sudo apt-get update, all it did was to read packaging lists... then done. === Mallen2008 is now known as Mallen_ [16:40] sudo apt-get update , Rock_star_11 [16:40] upgrade != update [16:41] so it's normal [16:41] upgrade downloads & installs [16:41] update fetches the lists, changelogs [16:41] I have an executable .jar file. I go into permissions and click "Allow executing file as program". It gets a check mark, then immediately removes the check mark. Changing permissions from preferences do the same thing. They change for a moment, then change back. [16:42] Jay, do you have your ubuntu on ntfs or on its own harddrive? [16:42] then sudo apt-get upgrade, Rock_star_11 , but you won't see any packages to upgrade because you already did it with synaptic [16:42] Ubuntu is on its own partition, the file is located on an NTFS hard drive. [16:42] BluesKaj, yep, thanks Calinou and BluesKaj . [16:42] I've had problems with that before too.. [16:42] One moment. [16:42] anyone?? [16:43] np [16:43] can someone tell me why I'm getting these messages: http://paste.ubuntu.com/565442/. I asked someone last night how to change my plymouth theme and these are the commands he told me to run. I don't understand what is happening when I run them. [16:43] I got Minecraft and was hoping to play it on Linux, I don't want to have to switch back to Windows every time I want to play it. [16:43] Jay, go in terminal and type "sudo -I" [16:43] then "gksu nautilus" [16:43] Copy and paste or cut the file over to your linux partition. [16:44] Then try, it solved some of my issues with that. [16:44] jaymhoff, did you try it in wine ? [16:44] how fast is ubuntu on a reasonably modern (3.5 year old) laptop now? [16:44] Often when I boot gnome-do wont work. Its like it has no list of applications that I can search. I need to restart gnome-do to make it work. Is there any fix for this? [16:44] hmm... root opened up, but i got some weird warnings in the terminal [16:44] i remember boot used to take like a minute.. [16:44] He can't mark it as an exec.

[16:46] Abinadai: Its saying that there is only one boot screen for you to choose. Which is the default so nothing to configure. What you should do is go into synaptic and look for plymouth themes and install those packages and then try that command it should then come up with options between 1,2,3,0 -- 0 is defualt [16:46] Just got my IRC up and running on Ubuntu [16:47] BluesKaj, to be perfectly honest, i am looking around, only installed ubuntu via wubi less than an hour ago [16:47] Hello, i need help with ISOs and Unetbootin :( [16:48] needlez, just caught your reply before I left.

How can i install live ISO's to the boot menu (alongside this) (i think unetbootin erases the existing grub config and ignores other OSes) [17:45] kwtm why do you say N not Y?

Doesn't "dist-upgrade" upgrade me to Ubuntu 10.10? [17:46] rgr? [17:46] kwtm: eveyr once in a great wile i have to use that option to install some packages that are held for some reason or another [17:46] tuxilla im at work i may not be back when u return (roger) [17:46] ok [17:46] ok [17:46] brb [17:46] tuxilla: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:46] kwtm: it never has for me.. theres an actual upgrade to next release command.. [17:46] tuxilla: ok when you get back it if still doesn't work i have an idea [17:46] i need help, i enabled a nvidia graphics driver, restarted, and it looks awful, how do i change back to my old graphics driver? [17:46] !upgrade | kwtm [17:46] kwtm: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade === graviton_ is now known as graviton [17:46] ActionParsnip: That's a great factoid!

[17:47] needhelp: just go into admin - additional drivers and disable then reboot that should fix the issue [17:47] Ok I'm configuring my network and now I'm at the page that reads [SSHD_CONFIG(5) BSD File Formats Manual] my guide is telling me to copy this page for reference but how the hell do I do that and how do I leave this page? [17:47] 2.6.32-27-generic, Cpt_Zyph [17:47] kwtm: i am on 10.10 [17:47] * Noeltorious is away: [17:47] Dr_Willis: I think you are assuming that I am, also, but I'm not. [17:47] Noeltorious: Please disable that in this channel. [17:47] kwtm: you will only jump to the next release with special commands, dist-upgrade simply upgrades slightly differently but keeps you on the same release [17:47] !away > Noeltorious [17:47] Noeltorious, please see my private message [17:47] * Dr_Willis still wonders why lxdm is held back... [17:47] kwtm go to the older ubuntu channels for that.. if you google yoru error msg you get a flood of reseults that indicate you wil have this problem in the pacakgets are in volved with updating your system [17:47] ActionParsnip, ok thanks, brb [17:48] Hi. Is there a way to start gnome-terminal with argument that will determinate new font size? [17:48] kwtm http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=228788 [17:48] Dr_Willis: the deps aren't ready yet, the package is but until its deps are satisfied it will be held back [17:48] kwtm just a random link but all the gogle results i have say the same thing [17:48] kwtm so what version are you run'n atm? [17:48] kwtm: im not even clear on yoru original problem.. to upgrade things tha tare 'held' ive used sudo apt-get dist-upgrade dozens of times.. always read what it says its going to do of course. [17:48] ActionParsnip: Ah, I see... Okay, should the automatic updates use dist-upgrade as well? Is it being held back because it's not a stable kernel? It keeps popping up these error messages ever 30 minutes saying "you can't upgrade!" and I hate these messages. [17:48] ActionParsnip: whats funny is that i thought i removed lxdm. :) [17:49] My current system is a bit broken. heh. [17:49] kwtm .............................. read that link [17:49] Dr_Willis: Well, I guess I'd like to know: why is it "held back" --is it something I've done, or is it something that is predefined by the system? [17:49] Cpt_Zyph: Will read that link. [17:49] kwtm and or also indicate to some of us what version of ubuntu ur using [17:49] wow spent the day wondering why none of my config actions would stick, seems that I had acidently cut and pasted the config file twice when i put it then, any changes i made were over written later on [17:49] :( [17:49] tuxilla: you back yet?

[17:50] Cpt_Zyph: I have been googling for the past few weeks, so your help would be appreciated in sifting out which answers are valid and which are not. For example, your link was from 2007 --I wasn't sure that was valid now. If you say it is, then I believe you. Of course, it always helps to know the answer already. [17:51] I'm stuck in the BSD Files Format window - how do I get out? [17:51] It appears that you folks are saying that packages "held back" are not due to something I did on my own computer. Is this correct? [17:51] i have a question, during installation i show i black window which i read 4 voice: installed packages - not installed packages but I do not know how to handle this [17:51] how to run x11vnc from ssh when remote machine is using gdm and is locked [17:51] Cpt_Zyph: I am on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [17:51] has there been a huge switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice amongst Ubuntu users?

I'm googling for it now. [17:53] i need help with imagemagic, i''d like to crop the top and bottom off many square images, so they become 16x9 aspect ratio. which commands are good for this? [17:53] Hello! :) just wondering.. I purchased a 'media recovery disk' from gateway to restore my computer back to windows 7 and I am suppose to receive my disk today so, when I insert the disk will Ubuntu realize what's going on and format my drives completely and then let the CD install Windows 7?

[17:53] needhelp1,,, ok,, thanks [17:53] is it possible for me to revert back to my previous graphics driver? ive enabled an nvidia graphics drive that looks awful and i need to change back [17:54] kwtm, I think you will be more successful in finding your post than me [17:54] Cpt_Zyph: Do I understand correctly, then, that packages "held back" are NOT due to some setting that I made? [17:54] kmck, why are you installing windows 7 if you dont mind me asking? [17:54] kmck: no you'd have to boot into the disc [17:54] aeon-ltd, is right though, change your boot method to cd [17:54] needhelp1: you could check your xorg.conf and /etc/ dir see if it has a different /backup xorg.conf that may be usiong the 'nv' driver instead of the 'nvidia' driver [17:55] needhelp1: you have tried running the nvidia-settings tool?

[17:55] bc81: "convert", as it happens, although the name is slightly counterintuitive. [17:55] kwtm: sometimes packages are hold back due to other software installed asking for a certain version of a dependency [17:55] and it loads flawlessly via vBox [17:55] needhelp1: 'gksudo nvidia-settings' or run it from the menu..

[17:56] bc81: specifically, the "crop" switch is your best bet. consult the man page, though, it's quite thorough. [17:56] Cpt_Zyph: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (3 min ago) [17:56] i have a question, during installation i show i black window which i read 4 voice: installed packages - not installed packages but I do not know how to handle this [17:56] aeon-ltd: how do you do that? boot from the CD?

Now before getting the source my nautilus was of old version.

[17:57] kmck: change your BIOS boot order [17:57] kmck banshee is what you want [17:57] sipior, thanks i've been stuck on this for an hour.. been using mogrify , but nothing i can find says anything about 16x9 aspect ratios [17:57] Andycas: At least, that's where it was for Kubuntu when I posted it. [17:57] ok thanks blueskaj [17:57] ive tried to dual boot with ubuntu and freebsd for over 24 hours straight now, i finally got everything installed correctly, learned how grub works and made my own menu, but it couldnt find the knernel for free bsd. So now im back to a 100% ubuntu partition on my harddisk, i guess my question is if i VM freebsd will i have all the opporotunities as a normal install for learning purposes? [17:57] Andycas: I got this to work at the time: "sudo x11vnc -auth /var/run/xauth/A* -display :0.0" [17:58] aadem: you should.. some hardware will be emulated. so it might not be as fast. [17:58] aadem yes [17:58] needhelp1: ok let me try that... haha i'll laugh if this is what i needed all along [17:58] @addem... im having a similar problem with desktopbsd :( [17:58] bc81: actually, mogrify also takes a "crop" switch. i imagine the same underlying routine is run in both cases. [17:58] schnuffle: Does that mean I should not manually upgrade (with "sudo apt-get install linux-generic" or whatever) when that package is held back, or else it will cause other packages to break? [17:58] Cpt_Zyph: haha! thank you! i'm trying it now [17:58] aadem what is the main think you wish to learn and you prob could of used grub as chainloader +1 if you couldn't point to the orginal kernal locations [17:58] kmck its pretty much itunes for linux [17:59] thank you for the answers! i feel a bit better, i figure once i learn everything about the freeBSD initial install i can make a real install and point grub to the kernel the right way [17:59] what is small httpd i can install and uninstall quickly. i just want to see upload speed of my server to my pc using test 100mb file [17:59] i actually tried chainloader after kfreebsd /boot/loader didnt work [17:59] bc81: Did you get your question answered? Didn't follow conversation. [17:59] anyone know why trying to run script &> assignment2.txt from terminal hangs?? [17:59] it started to load freebsd but still gave me the kernel not found error [17:59] azizLIGHTS: lighttpd ? [17:59] i ewant no config [17:59] simple easy now [17:59] :D [18:00] kwtm: hard to answer, It can break your system, depends on the reason the package is hold back [18:00] needlez: perhaps ask in #bash [18:00] kwtm: well, not really..i'm just struggling with imagemagick trying to crop the top and bottom off square iages to make them 16x9 aspect ratio [18:00] azizLIGHTS: You might want to try "woof" (Python program to "Web Offer One File" --web server you can download 1 file, then shuts down) [18:00] needlez: what are youy trying to acomplish exactly with that anyway? [18:00] ActionParsnip, nvidia-settings worked [18:00] ActionParsnip, thanks [18:00] kwtm: paste the reason it tells you why it's hold back [18:00] bc81: I am familiar with that package and will answer you in just a moment. Let me do some looking up.l Please hold. [18:01] bc81: did the crop switch not work for you? [18:01] does anyone know how to setup FTP over SSH?

My question is: since I have to do this manually every time (for the past few months), 1. Is this an indication of a problem with my system? 2. Can I get rid of this even if it's not a technical problem, since these pop-up messages are annoying? [18:04] bc81: is it possible you've specified the desired geometry incorrectly? [18:04] nishttal2: maybe this gives you a start http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/SSH.html i'd check if using sftp wouldn't be easier [18:04] Is there any way to get an x screensaver that shows a running terminal?

[18:14] needhelp1: is FLAC what amazon has? or is it an linux thing? [18:14] bc81: Don't forget that, in Ubuntu, "#!/bin/sh" does not get you Bash, but the Debian Almquist shell (dash). [18:15] can you enable the traditional root? [18:15] jrib: sure dch that is : ) [18:15] kwtm: thank,s i'll try that now..and i'm using #!/bin/bash is that ok? [18:15] ZaapielVonTroll: yes [18:15] ZaapielVonTroll: maybe (if you read the link ubottu gave you). [18:15] kiddo don't forget the period "." in fron to fthe slash / like this ./ [18:16] bc81: That's fine... but do you have quotes around "*.jpg"? Is your file actually name "star-dot-jpg"? [18:16] ZaapielVonTroll: its not recomended.. but doable. [18:16] Salut tout le monde. [18:16] blueskaj: think i got it running :) [18:16] is it not possible to use audio/video chat of gmail on ubuntu...if no then how to do so? [18:16] hi there. i want a small bit of text edited on a pdf file.how can i do that ? [18:17] toxic: Salut. Tu parles anglais aussi, ou tu recherches #ubuntu-fr? [18:17] !info pdfedit [18:17] pdfedit (source: pdfedit): Editor for manipulating PDF documents. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4.5-1 (maverick), package size 2051 kB, installed size 7028 kB [18:17] kmck, you can listen to flac on all OS's. Generally speaking you rip cd's to get flac format [18:17] J'ai une question : comment obtenir la derniere version stable de git (1.7) ? Celle des dépôts est vieille (1.4) [18:17] kwtm: the asterisk only marks the actually installed version look at /etc/apt/preferences for pinned packages [18:17] !fr | toxic [18:17] if you listen to the same song in 320 and flac, you will be sold [18:17] toxic: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [18:17] oh, sorry [18:17] schnuffle: Will check /etc/apt/preferences, thanks [18:17] ionut: I've done that before made a certificate that I changed the serial number for on a pdf, I'll just have to find it [18:17] openbees: i' tried that yesterday and the video worked for me , not the audio but i assume it was a misconfiguration of my computer [18:18] kwtm: you could install the latest kernel [18:18] kmck, im not aware of any sites that sell .flac music, some bands do from there personal webpages [18:18] hello all, I am reading a paper whose two versions .pdf & .ps could be found on the Internet, one problem is that we can not "find" with a keyword in the paper, that really makes reading hard. Does anyone know how to solve this? [18:18] I mean : does someone knows how to get the latest git version ? Actual is 1.7 but the repo still have 1.4... [18:18] kwtm: -crop 480x272+0+104 was exactly right. thanks!! [18:18] barzogh: how u did so [18:18] schnuffle: I did. Several times. Every timne there's an upgrade, though, it says "these are held back" and I have to manually install the kernel. V v annoying. [18:18] sacarlson: which is the application that u used [18:18] bc81: Glad to have helped. Makes enduring this channel a bit more tolerable. Good luck! [18:18] Hello. How do I remove 'Open With' entries from the Nautilus context menu? [18:19] openbees: when you log into gmail , you can get the audio/video plugin by clicking on video and more [18:19] ionut: maybe pdfedit [18:19] sacarlson: thanks. ill give it a try [18:19] kwtm: strange, have you canged your repos before the problem occured? [18:19] openbees: i've directly from the gmail website though [18:20] Fanshawe, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-507360.html [18:20] needhelp1: ok last question, can i activate my iphone thru banshee? because it hasn't been activated it yet, i can use it to manage it and the media on it but to activate will it also work do you know? [18:20] directly tested. [18:20] schnuffle: Well, I might have added Medibuntu and some others from PPA, which I don't expect to contain kernel packages. Also, /etc/apt/preferences does not exist, although there is a /etc/apt/preferences.d (which is an empty directory). [18:21] barzogh: i m not getting any link for ur suggestion [18:21] kwtm: so no actual pinning [18:21] schnuffle: Is there a "--verbose" on apt-get install? Like "--explain-why-these-are-being-held-back" or something? [18:22] barzogh:reply.......... [18:22] kwtm: if you use aptitude it might explain :/ [18:22] kwtm: not sure, use aptitude which gives better infos [18:22] Fanshawe: The stored options are in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list [18:22] schnuffle: No pinning. Although I wonder ... suppose, a few upgrades ago, for some reason I did a manual "sudo apt-get install linux-images" (or whatever the package name is). WOuld Ubuntu remember "Hey, user specifically wanted this package version"? And then from then on I'd have to do manual installs all the way? [18:23] EvilPhoenix: Okay, I am not familiar at all with aptitude. Is it "sudo aptitude upgrade"? Ie. a drop-in replacement for apt-get? [18:23] kwtm: "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" is your best bet [18:23] openbees: http://www.google.com/chat/video [18:23] I *hate* having to learn a new software program every time the one I'm using doesn't work... urg. [18:23] EvilPhoenix: Thanks ... will check it out. [18:23] kmck no not that i know of, you have to use itunes to activate the iphone [18:23] kwtm: i'd start with "sudo aptitude update" first just to be certain you have uptodate package lists [18:23] kmck though if you can, i would look into getting an andriod based phone, or the n900 [18:24] kmck maybe you are within your buyers remorse period [18:24] kwtm: aptitude is nearly the same and is recommended over apt-get, it takes te same arguments and does the search as well [18:24] kwtm: and for installing individual new packages, "sudo aptitude install " [18:24] Oh, $DEITY, I remember "aptitude" now --that's the monstrosity from Debian that turned me off Debian for 5 years. Is it really better than "apt-get"??? [18:25] EvilPhoenix: Alrighty..... I will trust you here... [18:25] kwtm, if you dont like aptitude, just use apt-* - no matter if on debian or ubuntu.... [18:25] barzogh: thanks [18:25] kwtm: Think Firefox or Chrome, but for package manager. It's up to user preferences, really. [18:25] kwtm: been using aptitude over apt-get for over 6 months now :P [18:25] better than apt-get imo [18:25] I guess if I use aptitude as a command line, then I can avoid that confusing ncurses interface that traumatized me... [18:26] openbees: you're welcome [18:26] hi [18:26] EvilPhoenix: I think at the time the packaging was broken, but I was a noob and didn't know, so I couldn't interpret the aptitude display because I assumed that it was working and I was the one who didn't understand. [18:26] kwtm: If you ran "aptitude" -- You ran interactive aptitude. You were in wrong place. :) [18:26] I have recently switched to Ubuntu from Fedora [18:26] kwtm: theres no need to use the curses-ui. all can be done at cli [18:26] kwtm: you dont need to use interactive aptitude :P [18:26] red2kic_: Yeah, I think that was it. Okay, will ease myself into aptitude... [18:27] for some reason my compiz stopped working after doing a recent update, I have Intel 915 . Compiz says only software mode is available, GLXgears onl;y runs at 2000 fps ... [18:27] I wanted to install libcurl development headers as it was required for one of my projects [18:27] kwtm: " sudo aptitude [install | update | safe-upgrade | otherargument]" operates just like apt-get does :P [18:27] kwtm: of course, i hate the ncurses as well :), you should do a aptitude dist-upgrade, your problem could come from old packages holding back the update, dist-upgrade won't update to a new version if you haven't changed the repos [18:27] hello. is it possible to add an user to one of my machines, as root, but with a different password as mine? i want to give him the access trough ssh, ftp and teamviewer, to develop and test a know application, since he doesn't have the some type of hardware and devices. [18:27] apt-get is much easier [18:27] how do u stop the openvpn service [18:27] I tried 'sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev' [18:28] *some/same* [18:28] azizLIGHTS: sudo service openvpn stop [18:28] and got broken packages error [18:28] could someone help. googling is not providing anything useful [18:28] Hey, you guys are right --the man page for aptitude shows that it's more powerful than apt-get. [18:29] kwtm: and it replaces apt-get and apt-cache :) [18:29] lcb: create a user, add him to "admin" group if he _really_ needs root-rights [18:29] lcb: the user can use sudo then to get root-access [18:29] llutz, yes, he does a lot. [18:30] NO U! [18:30] llutz« i know and i don't really care about my pass... but.. (i could change it anyway, it's a test machine) [18:30] schnuffle: Any reason why other people use apt-get? Is it non-standard on non-Ubuntu systems? Or just a newer package? Or what? If I post a HowTo on LinuxQuestions.org using aptitude, will it fail on some people's systems? [18:30] wait so aptitude is better than apt-get ? [18:31] !better [18:31] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [18:31] needhelp1: it has "some advantages" [18:31] kwtm: it was there before aptitude and it' hard to change habitudes [18:31] needhelp1: I am reserving judgement myself. [18:31] llutz« thanks buddy [18:31] schnuffle: Okay, thanks. Hey, I didn't know you spoke French. [18:32] kwtm: i'm a french german bastard :) [18:32] Hey, aptitude safe-upgrade is working! So, that means there was a problem with apt-get, yes? Otherwise it would behave the same as aptitude. === NG_ is now known as ng_ [18:33] kwtm: Not necessarily. Aptitude features more advanced dependency resolution. [18:33] kwtm: for sure aptitude deals better with dependencies [18:33] KB1JWQ: Ah, so it's just a matter of the dependencies being too complex for apt-get to perform optimally. [18:34] gota run [18:34] kwtm: just a guess but tht seem to be the case [18:34] lcb are you looking for sudo? [18:34] llutz: What are disadvantages of aptitude (used as a command-line command)? [18:34] kwtm: s/optimally/manually/ [18:34] er, and s/manually/automatically/ [18:34] kwtm: apt-get dist-upgrade -- You may never ran it before. It held back packages because new packages need additional packages. [18:34] kim_bruning« full access... [18:35] I've got it. Thank you all. === JoFo_ is now known as JoFo [18:35] lcb, sudo provides that... [18:35] kim_bruning« he's a developer. what llutz said seems a good idea [18:35] lcb: you do know about sudo bash, right? [18:35] red2kic_: Oh, so "apt-get install" will install new packages, but "apt-get upgrade" will NOT install new packages if there are new dependencies on new packages not present before? [18:35] lcb: that's how translatewiki et al do it [18:36] anyone knows a good pdf editor ? [18:36] lcb, sudo bash is a bit naughty but [18:36] kwtm: apt-get update -- Install latest packages but will never install a package that need more package. [18:36] red2kic_: I guess it's the name of the "dist-upgrade" option that got me --I get nervous about that. Maybe I should just look more at the man page. [18:36] lcb but there you go === Into_the_Pit is now known as Frickelpit === fred_ is now known as Guest15263 [18:36] red2kic_: no. 'update' only updates the package listings. [18:36] kwtm: I understand. :) [18:36] kim_bruning« i thing i'm going to change my main paswords and i'll give him full access. he really needs it [18:36] thing/k [18:36] Pici, kwtm: I meant upgrade* -- Thanks. [18:36] kwtm: dist-upgrade is only dangerous if you changed your repos to a new version [18:37] lcb, dude, just put him in sudoers [18:37] lcb, he will then have full access [18:37] lcb, what part of full access don't you understand? [18:37] lcb, kim_bruning: Its much easier to add the user to the 'admin' group on Ubuntu. [18:37] lcb, at the same time, it's marginally safer ;-) [18:37] !sudo > lcb [18:37] lcb, please see my private message [18:37] kim_bruning« okay :) i will. thanks a lot [18:37] lcb: sudo -i gives him a root shell [18:37] red2kic_: Okay, now that is reassuring. For now I'll probably stick with apt-get --dist-upgrade the next time, but know that aptitude can help, too. The name of aptitude's option, "--safe-upgrade", was much more reassuring. [18:37] i'll visudo him [18:37] with all:all [18:38] Pici, lcb : admin group is in sudoers ;-) That'll work [18:38] lcb, what Pici said :-P [18:38] red2kic_: I could have sworn that "dist-upgrade" was what I used to turn my 8.04 into 10.04, and I want to stay at 10.04 for another year or so. [18:38] kwtm: i would use aptitude. up to now it resolved every occuring problem while apt-get failed already a couple of times [18:38] i need to edit a pdf , which app should i use ? [18:38] yeah. thanks kim_bruning . really. [18:39] ionut: I sort of know how to answer that question. Can you give details of what you need to do? A form you need to fill in, or the actual PDF itself needs to change? [18:39] kwtm: Seems like the command is "sudo do-release-upgrade" for major distro upgrade. [18:39] How to delete items from trash [18:39] kwtm: and to get a new version you need to run the update-amanegr [18:39] !trash | moes [18:39] moes: The location of Trash has changed since 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [18:39] I'm still sitting around wondering if anyone else has been having issues with i915 based laptop not supporting hardware rendering [18:39] red2kic_: That must have been it. [18:39] kwtm: i need to edit the pdf actually already existing [18:40] ionut: I will offer you this link which I wrote http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions-org-member-success-stories-23/how-to-fill-pdf-forms-even-read-only-%3B-better-than-acroread-v9-for-linux-796720/ [18:40] llutz« , kim_bruning & Pici, Inc. thanks so much :) [18:40] <|alexxio|> does it exists an official openoffice irc channel? [18:40] ionut: It isn't intended to answer your question, but may give info. I will read it again now to refresh my memory, and then give you some tips. [18:40] evening all [18:40] kwtm: thank you very much [18:40] ionut: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfedit/ [18:40] |alexxio|: #openoffice.org [18:41] have there been any updates to X11 pushed through recently? [18:41] <|alexxio|> llutz, thanks [18:41] how can i send 7 bytes of hex data to a serial line [18:41] wasutton3-Laptop: use minicom [18:41] ionut: I remember now: PDFedit or PDFtk. The former is not a very mature piece of software; the latter is powerful but difficult to use. In general, editing PDFs is not that easy (on Linux or Windows, as far as I know) [18:42] red2kic_, Trash opens but when trying to delete it opens to preparing then stallls [18:42] schnuffle: i am looking for a solution that would let me integrate it into a bash script [18:42] ionut: If you just want a PDF with the same content as the original (e.g. just the text has to be the same or modified; don't care about format, preserving font, etc.) then it's much easier. [18:42] kwtm: yes i noticed that too. but i am using pdfedit and so far is too difficult though... i will try to look over the program more. [18:42] exit [18:43] ionut: I checked extensively last year and there is not a good solution; it is POSSIBLE there may be a "barely adequate" solution. Don't spend too much time on this. [18:43] moes: rm -rfv ~/.local/share/Trash/* [18:43] wasutton3-Laptop: http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/10983-minicom-scripting.html === jjajoshua is now known as R0b0ticHack3r [18:43] hmm, mesa-glx being removed on my laptop can't be a good sign [18:44] moes: That'll do it. I have that for alias. So use that if nautilus is giving you problems, I uspopse. [18:44] lol Pici, just out of curiosity, i did a !sudo > lcb and my natty server rebooted :o [18:44] wasutton3-Laptop: ?? What do you mean, to a serial line? Like /dev/ttyS0? You mean "cat /dev/ttyS0 " or something? [18:44] sacarlson, jrib: dch -i; debuild -us -uc it is :D [18:44] lcb: o.O [18:44] can inkscape handle pdf these days? [18:44] kwtm, that would probably work but i am not sure [18:44] Pici, as root... don't know if that matters [18:44] wasutton3-Laptop: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/write-hex-bytes-to-file-564446/ [18:44] kwtm: don't know why , but i hate pdf files so much [18:44] kim_bruning: Hey, coincidentally, you can check this same link: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linuxquestions-org-member-success-stories-23/how-to-fill-pdf-forms-even-read-only-%3B-better-than-acroread-v9-for-linux-796720/ [18:45] OOo can do PDF? ZOMG! [18:45] lcb: Wait.. you ran '!sudo > lcb' on your server? === joc_ is now known as joc [18:45] kim_bruning: Last I checked: not very good handling of PDF, but possible. My advice: try it out, but if it doesn't do what you want, don't waste too much time looking for what you're doing wrong --it's probably actually not possible. [18:45] lcb: now is a great opportunity to learn about bash history expansion... [18:45] Pici, yes, and again. indeed reboots [18:46] ionut: Because they are designed to be very hard to manipulate. Especially in Linux. [18:46] hi everybody! [18:46] lcb: Thats a command for our bot in this channel to send information about sudo, its not something for you to run.

(But can try unregistered version) === jboyson is now known as mia158 [18:47] Pici, i know :) but i had nothing to do and i tryed that new sudo command :)) [18:47] kwtm: i figured out what ill do. [18:47] any one on torrentflux? i need too fetch my pw cause i forgot it, and have phpmyadmin, msql, but need help with the file where the pw is saved if its exist.. thanks [18:47] Pici, and btw, might be a security issue... [18:47] lcb: Its not supposed to be a shell command. '!' has a special meaning on the shell. [18:47] Ok, I found my problem. I looked in the synaptic log, and for some reason ubuntu had auto-uninstalled mesa-glx .... Yeah, that's real smart! :-P [18:47] had to reload UBUNTU from scratch, I am going 100% UBUNTU backbone system this year, will run other OS's via virtualBox, look forward to getting help here on UBUNTU 10.10 and higher.... [18:47] so no 3d, no compiz [18:48] snypzz, virtualbox is cool. have you also checked xen and kvm? [18:48] (and vmware?) [18:48] lcb: !sudo .... something recalls the last sudo-command you issued from bash-history . in this case i guess it was "sudo reboot" [18:49] Yes!!!! llutz [18:49] snypzz: forget about vmware server, it has memory leak under linux [18:49] that's what i were looking now [18:49] lcb: Thats not a security issue. I didn't tell you to run that in your shell. [18:49] how can i keep echo from outputting 0x0A at the end of my file? [18:49] llutz, lcb you can also do ctrl-r to search your history ... or ... amazingly, if you type history you get to see the entire history ;-) [18:49] Pici, i know, it was not ur fault :) [18:49] wasutton3-Laptop, echo -n [18:50] wasutton3-Laptop: echo -n [18:50] kim_bruning: really? ;) [18:50] Q: any idea what folder sabnzb get installed on 10.10 server ? [18:50] llutz, YARLY O:-) [18:50] I am going to be depending on the UBUNTU Community to get my displaylink and other devices working, I think I just loaded the 32bit UBUNTU on this HD, if so I will be loading the 64 BIT system on another SSD HD soon... [18:50] snypzz, sounds like you're having fun [18:50] Joepie: « dpkg -L PACKAGE » will tell you, but why are you looking for it? [18:50] indeed, history shows all comms [18:51] snypzz, it doesn't work out of the box? [18:51] jrib: wanna rsync complete folder with nas [18:51] red2kic_, That did not remove the files from trash [18:51] lcb, ctrl-r takes a bit of getting used to , it's amazingly handy though [18:51] I enjoy an OS that is truly multitasking, and I must have multiple OS capability... === joc is now known as joc_ [18:52] snypzz: Do you have a support question for us here?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:52] lcb, and obviously history|grep sudo would list everything done using sudo (though after sudo bash that won't help you much, though you can sudo bash then history which will ;-)) === mgalvin_ is now known as mgalvin [18:52] children pornography http://bit.ly/fiTVKO [18:52] kim_bruning« well, you made me remind some of those commands and they are really useful. [18:53] I just stated my question, getting diplaylink working on UBUNTU 10.10 as soon as I get it installed you got the hyperlink with the Terminal commands to get it working....? [18:54] lcb and in your .bashrc you can set export HISTFILESIZE=3000 or some other useful number, so you can peek back further :-P [18:55] snypzz, define displaylink? [18:55] snypzz, do you mean dual-head? (2 monitors on one machine?) [18:55] i'm running ubuntu 10.10 in virtualbox on my windows machine - do you recommend installing fluendo plugin? [18:55] Minty, nah [18:56] Ok [18:56] heey guys.. i need a backup server. i'm gonna install ubuntu. should I use the desktop version / the server version? I'm gonna be needing rsync. This doesn't mean I'm gonna forget about office & multimedia. Need them too... :D [18:56] is there a simple mta I could use to just get mail off my system to an smtp server? instead of having to use sendmail, postfix? [18:56] Minty, you'll need *something* though [18:56] kim_burning: why wouldn't you recommend fluendo? [18:56] Minty, looks like proprietary codecs, right? [18:57] pythonizer: The server install has not graphical interface (xwindows). [18:57] kim_bruning: what would you recommend i download as an alternative? [18:57] pythonizer: (But you can install one.)

I'm gonna be sticking with desktop veresion then. [18:57] Minty, start up synaptic, go to settings->software sources [18:57] or settings->repositories rather [18:57] KirkMcDonald: was that directed at me? [18:58] Minty, settings->repositories rather [18:58] KirkMcDonald: Yeah. Alright. But I'm gonna be sticking with desktop version anyway [18:58] Minty: No. [18:58] kim_bruning: ok, just installing atm [18:58] Minty, set the tickmark next to "software restricted by copyright or legal issues" [18:58] any one on torrentflux? i need too fetch my pw cause i forgot it, and have phpmyadmin, msql, but need help with the file where the pw is saved if its exist.. thanks [18:58] Minty, what are you installing? [18:58] krycek, hmm, there's no #torrentflux. that's annoying [18:59] hm [18:59] kim_bruning: ubuntu 10.10 [18:59] no one using it?

[18:59] snypzz, Ok, I've never heard of that device or that make. that might be Interesting [19:00] what text editor would you recommend? [19:00] to login in torrentflux [19:00] and what irc client whilst we're there - irssi? [19:00] Minty, depends, are you a desktop or a command line person? [19:00] it gotta be saved some where in msql [19:00] Minty: gedit, I prefer kate buts its kde [19:00] Minty, I use xchat , even though I'm a command line person.... [19:00] Minty: screen + irssi [19:00] Or I guess tmux + irssi in this modern era. [19:00] kirkmcdonald: screen? - that an editor? [19:01] Minty, and vim or emacs are ye olde famous editors [19:01] tmux > vim? [19:01] Minty: No. [19:01] Minty: tmux is not an editor. [19:01] oh, what is it [19:01] Minty: It is a thing to use in conjunction with irssi. [19:01] kim_bruning: desktop [19:01] Minty, screen is a terminal multiplexer [19:01] !screen | Minty [19:01] Minty: Screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [19:01] KirkMcDonald, what's kmux? [19:01] Minty: screen manager with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation [19:01] is it annoying with torrentflux questions :) [19:01] which is better, screen or tmux? [19:01] tmux is the newer thing. [19:01] i like pretty interfaces ;) but functionality is more important [19:02] hiiii [19:02] I haven't really used it. [19:02] I will eventually be running 3 different OS one on the laptop screen, one on monitor1, and one on monitor2, with 3 Processors for laptop, 2 processors each for other OS's... [19:02] Oh this is going to get confusing. [19:02] vim, emacs, gedit - pick one please :) [19:02] but you'll find screen available on most unix based computers out there so it's a usefull skill to know it (I use it all the time) [19:02] How can I recreate the default config files for a package? I've upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and php stopped working probably because of some missing extensions. I've moved the /etc/php5 directory and now I'm trying to recreate it, but I apt-get says: Not replacing deleted config file ..... [19:02] is there somebody that's into LibreOffice? what do you think of it? [19:02] how do i install compiz fusion on gnome [19:02] !polls | Minty [19:02] Minty: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! === rochelle is now known as rochelle_ [19:03] Pici: ok [19:03] Hey guys. How do i find my gateway ip on ubuntu? [19:03] Pici: thanks! [19:03] JesperSW: route [19:03] JesperSW: sudo route [19:03] pythonizer, Libreoffice is OO.o basically, despite what Oracle might tell you.... And now off to #ubuntu-offtopic :-) [19:03] thanks! [19:04] kim_bruning: I'm gone! [19:04] JesperSW, isudo ip route works too and may be nicer [19:04] tmux's feature set is largely the same as screen's, as far as I can tell, but supposedly its handling of Unicode is more correct. [19:04] JesperSW, errr sudo ip route rather [19:04] kim_bruning: you shouldn't need sudo for the commands you gave. [19:04] KirkMcDonald, It also has prettier colours [19:05] screen just uses UCS2 internally and throws surrogate pairs to the wind when encoding to UTF-8. [19:05] sudo not needed there. ip route | grep default will show only the default route as sell. [19:05] I have the pwdhash plugin for firefox installed, and the plugin should be good for all firefox 3.6.* versions, but on firefox 3.6.17 that just updated, I am seeing that it's disabled. is there a way to restore this functionality? [19:05] Libreoffice is GOO with no bugfixing [19:05] Pici neato [19:05] ip is such a busy command, it's nicely compacted utility but it's tough on folks just learning. [19:06] Pici, ah, on ubuntu it's available to user, on gentoo not [19:06] kim_bruning: on gentoo you can use /usr/sbin/ip to do it. It's pathing, not rights. [19:06] Pici, (I use multiple computers with multiple os's simultaneously. Thank ssh for that :-P I get confuzzeled :-P) [19:06] Im trying to access my router, but i can't do that with my gateway ip apperently :S [19:06] er /sbin/ip rather. [19:06] JesperSW, do a reset [19:06] scampbell, TIL something new [19:07] scampbell, cool. :-) [19:07] blinki, perhaps ask in #firefox? [19:07] Lint, just dont wanna risk i cant access it and configure it up === anonymous is now known as Guest76716 [19:08] JesperSW, well, you can remove the gateway route [19:08] I have configure vpn client on my machine. Its working fine. [19:08] When ever reboots my machine, I'm starting manually(sudo vpnc myconf.conf) [19:08] JesperSW, and see if you can make it on your local subnet alone [19:08] kim_bruning: good call. [19:08] \msg nickserv register princekumar840@gmail.com prince [19:08] JesperSW, you'll only get as far as the nearest router, but that's exactly what you want ;-) [19:08] I want automatic vpn client automatic [19:08] as of yesterday my libreoffice wont start without being root in 10.10 [19:08] (I just updated from 10.04 to 10.10) [19:09] kim_bruning, How does that work? [19:09] is it possible? [19:09] I experience connectivity issues throughout browsers since 2 Days (Form submission doesn't work). Even in Firefox Safe Mode or freshly installed Opera I cannot submit some forms. The only thing that works is to start the Internet Explorer through windows (virtualbox). I hate IE from the bottom of my heart. Where do i start fixing this? I have tried different browsers and proxies w/out luck [19:09] JesperSW, if you have specified the wrong gateway you won't have any working network [19:10] JesperSW, well, let's first see what we've got what does route say is your default gateway ip, and what's your actual gateway ip ? [19:10] and can you ping said IP ? [19:10] benovic, are you at home or on a corporate network? [19:11] when i enter sudo route, it says my gateway ip is 62.107.64.0 [19:11] kim_bruning, @home, i can break into the router :) [19:11] benovic: maybe it's a dns problem, see if ping resolves an ip address in a short time, test dns server with dig [19:11] kim_bruning, [19:11] sacarlson, nslookup works fine [19:12] benovic, okay, well that eliminates the most obvious possible cause. :-/ I'm kinda busy with JesperSW atm, maybe someone else can give you a hand? [19:12] how do I update ClamTK? [19:12] JesperSW, you were going to say something? [19:12] np, kim_bruning it's irc :) [19:12] how could i install compiz [19:12] benovic: remind you some lookups may be fast and others slow [19:12] !clamtk [19:12] how do I update ClamTK? [19:12] JesperSW, okay, so IS your gateway ip actually 62.107.64.0 ? [19:12] how to join IRC thru this? [19:12] prince: compiz already is installed [19:12] brokenangel: You're on IRC now. [19:12] brokenangel, gidday [19:13] kim_bruning, well, thats what i figured it was. How do i find out for sure? [19:13] CryonicCore: sudo apt-get update ¿ [19:13] JesperSW, alright, where are you, like, physically? [19:13] JesperSW, and are there any computers with WORKING network near you? [19:13] borkenangel: go to freenode.net [19:13] register there [19:13] JesperSW, (I'm assuming your network isn't working? ) [19:14] and?? :-/ [19:14] JesperSW, (on the computer I mean, not in general) [19:14] mia158: You can't register through their website.... [19:14] brokenangel, well, you're here. What's up? [19:14] brokenangel: What are you trying to do? You're connected to IRC right now. [19:14] Hi. It exist a console program to measure bandwidth that I have forgot the name of. You install the program on both linux machines and set one up as a server. pfing something.. fping.. noo. What is the name? [19:14] I want to join some other channel as well :-s [19:14] kim_bruning, well, i actually haven't checked. the only other computer here is on lock. its my roommates :) [19:14] Blinkiz, I use ntop, though that is browser-based [19:14] !alis | brokenangel [19:14] do I have to have a particular kernel to use virtualbox. meaning, a kernel that will use the cpu's virtual os capabilities? [19:14] brokenangel: Looking for a channel? /msg alis list *searchterm* More help in #freenode [19:14] review the user registration page [19:14] brokenangel, use /join [19:14] xangua, Does not work. Comes up with E: The update command takes no arguments [19:14] kim_bruning, no, it's not ntop [19:15] kim_bruning, haven't seen any signs of the network not working [19:15] :-/ [19:15] detrix42, you have a kernel module for kvm, I think virtualbox will work-like-out of the box [19:15] Blinkiz: I use vnstat, but its not client/server based. [19:15] benovic: another posibility is the mtu (max transfer unit) this will default most the time to about 1500, some ISP have problems with this size and if made a bit smaller like 1400 or some number I forget it works much better [19:15] didnt get you [19:15] !alis > brokenangel [19:15] brokenangel, please see my private message [19:15] JesperSW, Okay, so do you have a machine with working network? [19:15] !irc > brokenangel [19:15] kim_bruning, yea [19:15] JesperSW, Ok, so go on there and see what it says is its gateway [19:16] Pici, Thanks for the suggestion. But vnstat is not the thing [19:16] kim_bruning: so do I have to start that module? [19:16] kim_bruning, this is the one with working network ;) it says its 62.107.64.0 [19:16] ?? [19:16] detrix42, not for virtualbox. you use kvm for kvm ;-) [19:16] :| [19:16] kim_bruning: oh. ok [19:16] JesperSW, oh, sorry... so what's your actual problem then? [19:16] i rebooted ubuntu following a full install and it says "please remove media or something" [19:17] Minty: Take the install CD out of the drive. [19:17] Minty, so do what the nice computer says (it means to remove the USB stick or CD) [19:17] kim_bruning, i just wanna access my router to adjust some settings [19:17] benovic: see this for details about mtu http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/mtu.htm there is much docs on it [19:17] JesperSW, Oh you want to access your ROUTER [19:17] kim_bruning: oh, i think i see. [19:17] kim_bruning, yea :p [19:17] JesperSW, kinda odd that it has a .0 as a default gw ... are you sure? [19:17] how do I update ClamTK? [19:18] JesperSW, could you private message me the output from route? [19:18] kim_bruning, i dont think its the right gateway since i cant acces it [19:18] JesperSW, me three, because you are ending it in a 0 :-P [19:18] Pici, kim_bruning: Found the program now.

[19:41] Mia158: then add: export PATH=$PATH:~/bin to ~/.bashrc [19:41] kallisti5, nic=network interface connection [19:41] What is the function of the kernel thread [pm]? [19:42] u can try netbeans or eclipse like ide [19:42] ActionParsnip: no need, thats done automatically in .profile [19:42] syphirx : u can try netbeans or eclipse like ide [19:42] Llutz: i cover all bases :) [19:42] botcity: The installation probably added that path. Im not sure where it would have put it.. try grep -R /opt/real/RealPlayer $HOME and see if you can find where it put the entry [19:43] okay, I deleted the bin dir and retried with ~/.profile [19:43] mkdir ~/bin && . ~/.bashrc && echo $PATH [19:43] I get the same thing [19:43] file not found [19:43] mia158: "mkdir ~/bin && . ~/.profile && echo $PATH" [19:43] is there a way i can view a binary file using hex from the command line? like with cat or some other similar program?

[19:43] botcity: If its not in $HOME, try the same command on /etc [19:43] BluesKaj: umm... yeah. just missed the k. anyway.. i think you are looking at another conversation. i can configure a network card manually... it's just that ubuntu's network manager service seems broken on boot and i have to do a stop and a start to get thins working. [19:43] btw the file is being written to at the same time [19:44] oh sorry [19:44] will ubuntu detect my new swap partition after making it in gparted? and would that have anything to do with my wireless saying no network devices available? [19:44] Llutz: you sure about the period after the first &&? [19:44] ActionParsnip: yes, you can write "source ~/.profile" too, it the same [19:44] teddyb: Why did you make a new swap partition? [19:44] teddyb: no, you will need to add the partition to /etc/fstab [19:45] I got it working now [19:45] thank you for your help [19:45] llutz: you could use 'source ~/.profile' instead. [19:45] Teddyb: should do as far as I know. If not, add an fstab entry for it [19:45] bastidrazor: did you read my answer? [19:45] hi all. i'm looking for resources to read and study. I just downloaded xubuntu on lappy and I'm playing around with the terminal in my android fone [19:45] llutz: yes. i missed the second one. :) === vincent_ is now known as Vinc3nte [19:46] hi. is this the right channel to ask a user interface question about ubuntu 10.10 netbook - unity? (I don't understand how I can make the gscan2pdf to stay in the left bar. No "keep" menu option is given) [19:46] soreau because i ran out of primary partitions and still had 300 gb of space left [19:46] or where i should go to ask?
