OK? [00:34] I went step by step but it still won't mount [00:34] sudo mount /dev/sdc1/usbdisk [00:35] kmck, try f6 [00:35] can you give me some help [00:35] pls [00:35] how to quit irssi by command line in terminal ppl? [00:35] try ctrl c [00:35] kmck to access your bios it may be another button like mine for example is f1 [00:35] kmck: You'll need to access the boot menu to boot from CD if it doesn't do it automatically, it's usually F8, F10-F12, Del or something similar. If it's none of those you can look it up. If one takes you into your BIOS then you can just change boot order so that CD/DVD is first rather than hard drive [00:35] sami___, not much but I found this http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/121996/asio-vs-kernel-streaming [00:35] luqeliverpudlian: /quit [00:35] kmck which bios do you have?

So it's not needed for ubuntu. What you want to know is how to get the best quality sound out of ubuntu, then see if that's as good as what you have. (I used to work in high end audio, funny coincidence.) [00:37] kmck okay reboot your computer and hit f1 or f2 try both [00:37] huh?

[00:49] i have a ati hd 5770 where i found the drive 4 wine running games [00:49] Here's a tricky one. I mounted an FTP server and now I'm trying to transfer a file over using the command "cp -r ~/files ~/sftp" but I am getting the error setting permissiongs for '~/blah blah' Operations not permitted. I checked the file permissions of the folder and they are all 666 what is the problem? [00:49] ? [00:49] I have downloaded 3-4 programs for Ubuntu but all are just players [00:49] induz, convert them with ffmpeg ! [00:50] how can i get ffmpeg? [00:50] induz, apt-get ! [00:50] should i download mediBuntu, then its possible? [00:50] Vitasoy, Are you sure you don't mean to use 'get'? [00:50] induz: aptitude install ffmpeg [00:50] yoyoned sorry not sure what you are looking for it does say fdisk -s [00:50] anyone konow the slack channel [00:50] induz: with sudo infront of it [00:50] ? [00:50] majuk: what do you mean? [00:50] :-) [00:51] majuk: I need to use the 'get' command ? [00:51] is it apptitude or apt-get?? [00:51] induz: i use aptitude [00:51] Vitasoy, nvm, mounted, I can't read. [00:51] Vitasoy: can you typically upload to this ftp server? (sorry, have to ask) [00:51] I have a quick question, I'm trying to download Deluge but it's saying it's already installed. How would I go about launching it? [00:51] aptitude=apt-get [00:51] induz: aptitude is more complete than apt-get and apt-cache [00:51] Induz: VLC and XMMS support .ogg [00:51] thanks for the tip. Problem: i have a mac pro with two graphics cards and two displays. the first card works and the second does not. I installed a bunch of drivers from the amd website and tried the missing driver util but every time i restart the comp i no longer get a GUI. only a command line or nothing at all [00:52] torrancew: i have not tried yet(in linux) so no, but in windows it works fine [00:52] I can play those tracks on my computer but i want to copy it to my MP# player [00:52] i want a ip snoffing for ubuntu [00:52] induz: aptitude can both search and install/remove packages, apt-get can only install packages (and remove package ofc) [00:52] ok, I was curious if your FTP user has write permissions [00:52] i want a ip snoffing for ubuntu === Prillicy_ is now known as Prillicy [00:52] induz, apt-get aptitude they are the same well they act on the same repository [00:52] so i will use aptitude from onwards [00:53] torrancew: i thought that was the issue at first too, i even tried logging in as root@ftpserver [00:53] i want a ip snoffing for ubuntu? [00:53] torrancew: but at the moment it is logged with no username/pw [00:53] Vitasoy: is that how you log in under windows? [00:53] i downloadee ffmpeg from caommand line but i dont see it on applications?? [00:53] chriss_: I am trying to find out the specific partition you are trying to mount [00:53] induz: I believe soundconverter can convert .ogg [00:53] torrancew: yea [00:54] induz: sudo apt-get install soundconverter [00:54] Anyone know why my internet seems faster in Ubuntu than it is in Win7? [00:54] does that mean no one has seen my issue? lol [00:54] induz: ffmpeg is a CLI program - it probably won't give you a shortcut by default [00:54] I installes sound-juicer but its not converting [00:54] i want a ip snoffing for ubuntu? anyone can speak to me [00:54] admini: I'm sure some have, but that's not quite enough detail to pin it down [00:54] Guest66534: what is 'ip snoffing'? [00:54] induz: Get Sound Converter, not Sound Juicer. [00:54] spoffing [00:54] please i am new to Linux/debian so its hard from command line apllications [00:55] This probably isn't the right place to ask this, but why isn't freenode showing up in empathy? It doesn't seem to be an option in the list of IRC channels [00:55] i want a ip spoffing for ubuntu? anyone can speak to me [00:55] Emu: What version of Empathy are you running? [00:55] we can say for sure that your X server induz Sound Converter is likely the path of least resistance [00:55] oops [00:55] i believe one of the last things i did was from the menubar where i clicked install drivers. after i tried the ATI one is when i got the command line and would not fully boot to see a GUY [00:55] GUI* [00:55] admini: we can say for sure that your X server is broken [00:55] :) [00:55] i want a ip spoffing for ubuntu? anyone can speak to me [00:55] BiPohal: 2.30.3 [00:56] my X server? [00:56] Ok I downloaded sound converter...lets see [00:56] Guest66534, what is spoffing ?

[00:58] chriss_: copy and paste this command into a terminal: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda [00:58] guys please help me sound converter is not working on .ogg files/tracks [00:58] Guest66534: you can use apt-cache to search for the tools you're used to using [00:58] and then install them with apt-get [00:58] admini, aT [00:58] i think that might be my last option because ive tried many different ways to install or update the driver and everytime i restart it never boots back. then i have to reinstall the whole os again [00:59] i make that put dont install [00:59] but [00:59] induz: what do you want to convert .ogg to? [00:59] admini, ATI drivers are getting better though! [00:59] i need an up to date one! lol [00:59] edwardteach: I'd heard that... It's true then?

I hit the button to, "Update the database" (I assume in reference to the known viruses, etc.) and after that it's been giving me this dialog upon launch of the application.

That would definitely fix the issue...it sounds like something got corrupt somewhere. I don't use Avast. [01:47] ok dpb_ is that thumb drive or a usb hard drive? [01:48] Starminn, if you can reproduce the problem on a fresh reinstall there maybe something wrong with the package. [01:48] I wasn't aware avast supported linux natively... [01:48] it's a thumb drive [01:48] which i'm using to install onto a USB hdd [01:48] computer13137: Shame.. I was hoping to acvoid that. *shrug* Ah well. I'll reinstall. :) (Yeah, there's a Linux version) [01:48] 321 [01:49] Starminn, not saying it's the only solution but I don't use Avast myself. And it would definitely be easier. [01:49] Starminn, you're more than welcome to ask for other solutions. Just putting my two cents out there so at least somebody answers your question. :p [01:49] Starminn, why Avast on Linux anyway..? I'm not too worried about linux viruses myself... [01:50] hola a todos! [01:50] computer13137: Agreed. Reinstall is almost always easier. Just out of curiousity, what is your suggestion of Anti-Virus? (I really use it for Windows -> Linux -> Windows) [01:50] anyone had much luck getting pptp working w/o Network Manager? [01:50] computer13137: Ditto. I use it so I don't contribute to Windows viruses. :) [01:50] I am trying to setup a PPTP tunnel without Network Manager [01:50] Starminn, I usually use VirusTotal.com because I typically just want to scan a file\archive every now and then. [01:50] Starminn, but you have to upload the file to that. [01:50] Then they scan it with like 42 different AVs [01:51] If you only need it infrequently that would be fine. [01:51] hiexpo just in case you missed it - the iso goes on a USB flash drive. I then boot the flash drive to run the installer and install on a USB hdd [01:52] hi to all [01:52] computer13137: Ah, that's handy. :) Thanks for that.

[03:33] Hey guys [03:33] pksadiq, thanks [03:33] Hey guys, I'm having serious issues with VNC keyboard layouts being mixed up. [03:33] amitan: sabayon is based on Gentoo. Ubuntu repos and Gentoo repos are very different [03:33] J_C:its a great os its a gentoo os wonderfull gui [03:33] is there a way to install a minimal kde desktop on top of ubuntu? [03:33] check the gentoo site or irc channel then [03:33] amitan: emerge downloads the source code and compiles locally. apt downloads already-compiled debs. the two dont go together at all [03:33] totally different from ubuntu [03:34] please, all be in topic [03:34] if I type asdf it comes out abfh [03:34] ChogyDan: yes closed synaptic....now its running. I accepted the proposed solution of upgrading some and downgrading 1 package that it suggested [03:34] Guest43751: which package did it downgrade? [03:34] pksadiq, im trying to andriod [03:34] pksadiq: I couldn't agree more, that's what I'm trying to explain to amitan [03:34] is there a way to manually assign each key an output on ubuntu? I need to tell it what each key on my keyboard is. [03:34] this is Ubuntu [03:34] ChogyDan: forgot taht , screen scrolling too fast [03:34] Guest43751: o well :) [03:35] mahredwae: install the "kde-plasma-desktop" package [03:35] Anybody know of conflicts between gnome and vncserver?

The bottom fix kinda worked but the s was still messed up, and the m [03:36] Howdy all! How can I check video card compatibility with Ubuntu? [03:36] tried the one above it with 0 success [03:36] a priori of buying the card, of course [03:36] !hardware [03:36] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [03:36] but it will install the full system, I only want a minimal system with no kde apps [03:37] Is there a way to literally kit a key, click on the input it corresponds to and build your own custom keymap? [03:37] J_C: how often is the wiki updated? [03:37] mahredwae: please read the descriptions of the packages I told you. [03:37] alright, so that didn't work. Now I'm trying to install via flash drive [03:37] maybe it's just that all three of my disc drives were bad [03:37] Anybody know how to find out if a apt-get package is 32 or 64-bit? [03:37] econdudeawesome: I have no idea, usually there is a date at the bottom [03:38] of the page of most wikis [03:38] Guest43751: hmmmmmm, that looks like a bug [03:38] We're on a 64-bit system, trying to make a 30TB filesystem in JFS, and we're hitting the 32-bit 16TB limit... [03:38] but when i checked it it had knosole, and all that utilities [03:38] J_C: thanks [03:38] Anybody able to help with complete manual defining of keyboard layout?

What exactly is your keyboard not doing? [03:40] ChogyDan: that is also done now [03:40] AbhijiT: no, its holiday, second sat ;) === Prillicy_ is now known as Prillicy [03:40] pksadiq, :/ [03:40] I type asdf and I get abfh [03:40] the layout is set to US 105, but it ignores that [03:41] tried using a different lightweight WM, and they keyboard works fine. So it's gnome [03:41] WACOMalt: and you are defintely running a standard keyboard? And the same keyboard has been setup on the other system? [03:41] yes [03:41] Guest43751: does it say 0 packages needed updating? [03:41] Standard IBM keyboard, no media keys or anything wonkey [03:42] ChogyDan: No, it just said Setting up bla bla packages and then went to prompt === rajesh is now known as Guest34339 [03:42] WACOMalt: I hate to say it, but that sounds like an issue for a VNC irc channel or the vnc site. It is definitely not the norm :-) [03:42] Guest43751: run it again [03:42] It's not VNC issue though, it's in the window manager. [03:42] I will check with #gnome [03:42] I want a minimal kde dsktop with no konsole etc [03:43] ChogyDan: output here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/566185/ [03:43] What is the filename of the Maverick splash screen (http://juuier.blogspot.com/2010/05/resolution-slash-screen-plymouth.html) ?

It has always worked out of the box for me, thank goodness [03:44] bullgard: hmm? What is your question?

I'm using compaq 610 notebook ubuntu desktop edition 10.10. How to resolve this issue [03:47] WACOMalt: if you can type numbers you might do CTRL+SHIFT+U and type the correponding hex values, irritating ;) [03:47] while booting up I get this error msg [03:47] UGH [03:47] Guest43751: maybe now try aptitude safe-upgrade [03:47] numbers are borked too though :/ [03:47] jrib: I will try to follow your advice.

If you want to create your own, there's a wiki page on plymouth themes that links to a series of blog posts about it [03:49] WACOMalt: actually in 10.04 i had to 'edit the menu' to add it to System tools. right click applications and edit menus [03:49] WACOMalt: Unfortunately I have no experience with Win& regarding keyboards, but I would be willing to bet that is where the poblem is, not the vnc server. [03:49] ChogyDan : yes it resolved dependencies and now its asking for this : 281 packages upgraded, 85 newly installed, 40 to remove and 55 not upgraded. -- I hit Yes [03:49] WACOMalt: from eindows make a script that contain all what you need to execute and exe in ubuntu ;), might be some easier way around [03:49] I'll try from my ubuntu box [03:49] WACOMalt: It's gonna take what windoews sends it. Check your keyboard setup on Win7 [03:49] jrib: I do not want to change it. I am just wondering what filename it is on my Maverick computer.

[03:51] WACOMalt: And I'm not "blaming" windows, but that is where the keyboard is setup [03:51] J_C Im pretty sure widnows isnt the issue, esp since I am typign to you in windows...

I am running ubuntu-server with icewm so I do not have the regular gnome menus [04:14] (Preferrably in python) [04:14] J_C: http://pastie.org/1555107 [04:15] dokuro: it's running now [04:15] dokuro: you can't start it, it's already running [04:15] J_C: any way you can help with that that single key remapping you said was possible? [04:16] J_C: ok....so it is starting [04:17] After some tests, the keyboard layout (now just S and M) is still messed up coming from my Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop machine with a different physical keyboard [04:17] WACOMalt: unfortunately not off the top of my head. There are files and docs and it's all X win stuff, not complicated, but not explained in a couple of sentences either [04:17] hi. can somebody help me change my default sound card? I am running ubuntu-server with icewm so I do not have the regular gnome menus [04:17] gotcha, thanks then [04:17] bullgard>: i will try onething back soon [04:17] help ***Error***: You must have glib-gettext >= 2.2.0 installed to build emerillon. where to get that librabry? whats the package name? help [04:17] PingaR0x: Line 106 says that the X server did not find your NVidia driver. Please look up in the Ubuntu English help pages how to install an NVidia graphics driver. I myself do not use an NVidia graphics card and cannot help you further. [04:17] will "dd" backup a drive while i'm in gnome or do I need to boot to just a terminal somehow? [04:18] J_C: when I try to run ufw logging on, I get : error: problem running init scropt again [04:18] J_C: checking logs now [04:18] dokuro: try stpping it then restarting it [04:19] dokuro: if you are telling it to do things it cannot do, then it will not re-initialize [04:19] bullgard: oks [04:19] dokuro: from the gui [04:21] J_C: Thanks...I disabled it, and will see if I can enable it [04:21] dokuro: stop, turn on logging, restart, that's just a guess, of course :-) [04:22] dokuro: for starters, anyway [04:22] join # untutu-zh [04:22] !ufw [04:22] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [04:22] join # ubuntu-zh [04:22] J_C: I get the error again when I enable, but it does start [04:22] lushous: /join #ubuntu-zh [04:22] lushous: the command is "/join" [04:23] J_C: thanks for your time, I will play with it some more and see what I can come up with [04:23] dokuro: run iptables -L again and see if you see logging tables [04:23] oh iam sorry [04:23] Something is confusing my system. The obvious symptom is that when I mouse over a text area, when the cursor would normally change to an I-beam, it does not; it remains an arrow. Nothing is under the cursor except the window containing the text area. [04:23] thanks [04:23] lushous: no problem [04:24] I've seen this issue before and, without being able to find the cause, solved it by closing many applications or rebooting the system. I'd rather not do this. Is there any sort of blatantly obvious explanation for this? [04:24] J_C: it does show the log on [04:25] It's not just affecting cursor appearance. Something invisible is stealing focus; if I click in the text area, I can't type. This also seems to affect scroll wheeling. [04:25] will "dd" backup a drive while i'm in gnome or do I need to boot to just a terminal? [04:26] dokuro: check /var/log/ufw.log, it should be there if itis logging [04:26] Lasivian, your current drive ? [04:26] For another example, on an empty desktop, right-clicking will normally bring up a contextual menu. I can't do this over the "dead spot"; nothing happens on right-click. [04:27] I need someone to walk me through the installation process. [04:27] I don't want to erase the entire disk...what do I do? [04:27] Codingk, That could take quite a bit of time. [04:27] Bop: Yes [04:27] I want to do something of a triple boot. [04:27] I guess that's kind of a no-brainer huh? ;p; [04:27] do I use 'chmod -R a+xrw to change the settings for all subdirectories? [04:27] anyone knows differences between openoffice and libreoffice features? [04:27] * Lasivian googles how to boot to a terminal [04:28] Codgink: Select "Manually specify partitions." (Not sure if "Install alongside" does triple boots) [04:28] offsense: Currently? I don't think any. LibreOffice forked with OOo's source. [04:28] xiong: just out of curiousity, is it the same spot on the screen? it almost sounds like a hardware problem [04:29] Starminn: ah okay mate! [04:29] How can I get a mysql dump from inside a chroot? I can't seem to start the mysql service which depends on upstart running. The system outside the chroot is a Debian system, no upstart there. [04:29] Starmin,what is install alongisde? [04:29] I-are-: that will change all directories and files, tyou might check the man page [04:29] J_C, Um, no, I really don't think it's hardware. It's a very rare issue; last time it happened was months ago. The spot -- or spots -- is or are small rectangles. I can't say for sure if these are in the same place as last time. [04:29] I-are-: for just directory changes [04:29] /msg nickserv identify josh [04:29] /msg nickserv identify joshjosh [04:29] ... [04:30] I don't understand the allocating thing [04:30] J_C, I get a strong smell of a dismissed window that somehow lingers on in some odd zombie state. [04:30] How exactly does this work? [04:30] xiong: that still sounds like a hardware prob... maybe intermittent ?? [04:30] J_C, thanks. I need to give NetBeans access to create and edit files and directories beneath a specific folder on my system. I got the -R from the man, but was a bit confused by the term recursive. [04:30] J_C: I don't see a log, but the firewall now seems to be working as I was getting hit by a bot pretty hard and it now seems to have stopped [04:30] J_C, how would it be hardware-related? The hardware doesn't know where the cursor is at. [04:30] Codingk: Hold on, buddy. :) [04:30] i just tried to install phpmyadmin with aptitude.. i accidentally selected lighttpd as the webserver when i wanted to pick apache. now even if i remove and install again it doesn't ask me if i would like to switch and installation fails [04:30] xiong: ahhh, have you checked fr zombies or running processes that you know you eneded? [04:31] J_C, I'm not expert at that sort of stuff; no, I haven't. Wouldn't know quite how. [04:31] xiong: my typing sucks :-) [04:31] Codingk: Alright. First so I have an idea of what we're looking at, what does your hard drive currently look like? What partitions do you have? If you're doing a triple, what OS's and such do you have? [04:31] how do i fix this? [04:31] arg [04:31] J_C, top says 0 zombies. [04:31] xiong: sorry I missed the description of your problem. would you mind filling me in? [04:32] xiong: ps ?? [04:32] xiong: "ps aux" [04:32] from a terminal [04:32] dcg, A little hard to explain clearly. It's as if there were a dead spot on the desktop, which does not accept mouse clicks. [04:32] Starminn: Windows Vista on /dev/sda1 [04:32] or top, from a terminal [04:32] Ubuntu 10.10 on sda2 [04:33] J_C, I did top. ps aux gives me quite a long output. Narrow it down? [04:33] That ubuntu had a kernel panic [04:33] xiong: ps aux will give you a list of running processes [04:33] ps au [04:33] So I want to do a fresh install, yet keep that installation so I can access all of my old files. [04:33] forget the x [04:33] (It works) [04:33] Yes, J_C. What do I want to see in that list? [04:33] something you ended but shows as still running [04:33] maybe like firefox [04:34] xiong: just a though, anyway [04:34] thought === liny_man is now known as DaGeek247 [04:34] What should I PUT as the mounting PIONT? === Prillicy_ is now known as Prillicy [04:34] POINT? [04:35] *point? [04:35] Sorry. [04:35] Codingk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:35] J_C, It's tough going down the list. Many running processes seem to be internal stuff. I'll look it over in detail. [04:35] Codingk: Alright, so you just make a partition formatted as whatever you like for root "/" (This is where everything will go -- ext4 is a suitable format), then just reuse your swp [04:35] xiong: ps au should show all the proccess run by you [04:35] reuse your swap* [04:35] or just "ps u" [04:36] Starminn, so "New Partition Table"? [04:36] check out the man page for switches [04:36] xiong: just working out a command line for you that will whittle the list down [04:36] J_C, That's not so much of an issue. Single-user system and most of the root processes started at boot. But I, er, do tend to run a great number of applications at one time. [04:36] sup all: i have burnt an ubuntu dvd from a while back and right now im in windows....just wondering if there is a way to tell which version it is without booting into it? like is it amd64 ubuntu 10.10 or is it i386 9.04? [04:37] i have the dvd in right now [04:37] It's more of, how many of these lines are Google Chrome. [04:37] Codingk: Where are you seeing that? On the install step? [04:37] xiong: the x switch shows daemons, the a switch shows all, the u swithc shows just user, etc [04:37] Starminn: on the allocate drive space step [04:37] xiong: maybe that is your problem :-) [04:38] Codingk: Okay. So you chose "Manually specify partitions"? (I just want to make sure we're in the same place is all) [04:38] What would be more useful would be a GUI tool that let me switch to any running process with a "face". Then I could eliminate them one by one, or look for processes that had no windows showing. [04:38] xiong: but check the man page for ps to get an idea how to narrow it down anyway [04:38] J_C, Let me work on it. [04:38] Codingk: You want to create a new partition and specify the size of it (in MB), formatted as ext4, mounted as "/" [04:39] if i boot into the ubuntu live dvd i know i can do 'iname -a' and ;uname -r' but that still dont tell me if its amd64/i385 and most importantly if its 10.10 or 9.04 [04:39] xiong: there probably is a X tool for that, I just don't know off the top of my head [04:39] how can i tell which version it is [04:39] Starminn, and to do that you click Add? Add is greyed out. === aaron is now known as Guest19274 [04:40] J_C, Actually, although such a tool would be useful, the real need is to have a report of all processes that *don't* show a window. Of course, my difficulty probably lies with a process that thinks it is putting up a window, but is not, at least not correctly. [04:40] what is the command line method of setting up a wireless internet connect to a WEP based wireless base station - I've just installed ubuntu 10.10 server and need to do this from the command line [04:40] Codingk: I assume all of your drive space is assigned to something? That would likely be a nice reason for that, haha. :) So what you should do is (unless you have some unallocated space for you to use) shrink your old Ubuntu to however large it is (since you won't be using it anymore I assume -- so leave just enough space for what's on there now to stay), then use the extra space from that [04:41] no one knows how to check to see if my dvd is 10.10 or 9.04? [04:41] xiong: I happen to be googling it now :-), I'm curious too [04:41] J_C, I think I'm reduced to closing applications, one by one, until the problem goes away. I don't see a way around that. [04:42] I also smell a possible issue with kig, which is a kde app. These tend to load up kde-specific processes. I avoid them. [04:42] Guest19274: i think you want iwconfig [04:42] Codingk: Ah, I must apologize. Apparently it's a bit more complicated than that. (I've never had 3 -- only two of various at a single time) here's the link to the UBuntu help page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiOSBoot [04:43] can someone tell me how to check my ubuntu dvd to see what version it is exactly [04:43] CarlFK: that package is not installed - can I install it from the install DVD? [04:44] Codingk: What I did when I reinstalled Ubuntu, though (I screwed it up by tinkering with something without knowing what I was doing) was backed up all I wanted to keep on my Windows partition, killed my Linux partitions, and made them again. Then I just moved everything back over. [04:44] Guest19274: no clue. you can try :) [04:44] OK [04:45] J_C, It's definitely an invisible window stealing focus. The dead spot happens to over lap the XChat window and each time I come back here from the Terminal window and try to bring XChat forward, I hit the dead spot; clicks do nothing there. Clicking elsewhere, obviously, brings the window forward, etc. [04:45] Codingk: You could do a triple boot, but if it's just a few documents and music and stuff you want to keep I don't think it's worth the trouble IMO. [04:45] Perhaps I should backup everything I want on my old Ubu, then put it back on my new Ubu and just do a hard disk erase [04:45] I don't use vista anyways === rajesh is now known as Guest87456 [04:46] Codingk: No need to erase the whole disk. If you're ever going to install Vista again you have to jump through hoops unless you isntall Windows first, THEN Linux [04:46] Alright [04:46] hello guys, I have messed with X system, now I get tty1 to login, I have to start failsafe graphics mode from to start gdm, how to restore to my original settings,using 10.10 [04:46] Codingk: I would just backup what I want from old Ubuntu, then just reuse the partitions. IT's what I did and my system's working fine. [04:46] does the hardware driver app;ication install the 64bit version of the drivers/ [04:46] hmmm... the CD isn't mounting ... [04:47] xiong: could you try holding alt while click and drag the dead spot to see if you can move it elsewhere? try this on a visible window first so you know what to expect [04:48] xiong: weird.. I'm checking on tools like xpdyinfo, etc [04:48] Just out of curiosity, if I do stuff on a Live DVD session and then install ubuntu, will the stuff I do be carried over to the new Ubuntu? [04:48] Codingk: No. [04:48] OK. [04:48] hello everyone, im an IRC virgin! [04:48] anyone know the equivalent command line for this: System->Administration->Networking ? [04:48] Codingk: Moreover, it won't be stored on the CD either. [04:48] dcg, I have that set to the "windows" key. I'll try it. [04:48] stankwagon: will you still respect us in the morning? [04:49] only if you pull out! [04:49] lolz [04:49] hello guys, I have messed with X system, now I get tty1 to login, I have to start failsafe graphics mode from to start gdm, how to restore to my original settings,using 10.10 [04:49] well, you dont have to pull out cuz it will be in my butthole [04:49] Guest19274, doesn't your GUI work? [04:49] stankwagon, gsp2009: Be family-friendly, please. [04:49] xiong: running this ps aux | egrep '[[:blank:]][A-RT-Z][^[:blank:]]*[[:blank:]]*[0-9][0-9]:' will show you all processes that do not have a status starting with "S". on my system that only shows the "ps aux" process [04:49] I installed server - I need internet first to install gui [04:49] rww, dude im sorry this is my first time on this kinda chat [04:50] and im kinda rude anyway, so ill try to be better [04:50] thank you for the warning [04:50] gdm doesn't start when I boot up, plz help, how to restore all the settings to original [04:50] stankwagon: you may want to type /topic, then. [04:50] hello people [04:50] dcg, No, I can't drag the invisible window. Nice try. [04:50] rww thank you, do we only have to talk about nerdy things here or is it a free for all?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:50] nerdy things :D [04:50] free for all is off topic [04:50] all of a sudden, I don't have sound and my volume/speaker icon on the top right corner is greyed out. what do I do? [04:50] Guest87456: have you tried startx from the terminal? [04:51] hey i am having an issue with an hp tm2 tablet computer. I cannot seem to right click at all [04:51] samtop, mute? [04:51] xiong: was worth a go..... what do you get for the command line results [04:51] #ubuntu-offtopic is not a free for all, it has the same guidelines, minus the support ;P [04:51] not mute [04:51] cords connected in back and to monitor? [04:51] well, ok then, listen i just wanna say that i love my girlfriend because she loves me for the nerd i am, and she gets all turned on when i type really really fast! [04:51] its a laptop [04:51] rww: Still not free-for-all, sure, but it doesn't have to be nerdy things (though it usually is anyway) [04:51] i really really thank her for her support! [04:51] i can try to help [04:51] ok [04:51] what should I do? [04:52] dcg, Shall I pastebin? [04:52] maybe I messed a setting up somewhere? [04:52] J_C: nope, I select recover more from grub and select failsafe graphics, but why am I getting tty1 if I try to boot up normally [04:52] Starminn: I know. [04:52] just join #sbts and flood there, or paste bin, up to you [04:52] check ur messages [04:52] so i dont spam main chat [04:52] Guest87456: if you select boot normal *after* selecting recovery, i think it always goes to text [04:52] does anyone know of any really good IRC chat ( places) that are hopping all hours of the night where you can talk about anything you want to talk about? [04:52] #sbts is my own business support channel so we can do what we like there [04:52] J_C: I want to recover all my settings to original, I mean all the original X settings, [04:53] Guest87456: or at least, thats what it does to me!

[05:02] dcg: then keep the kernel up to date too [05:02] gsp2009: thanks :) Ill look in to it [05:03] J_C I got the command from the same site, but I again got tty1,I'll try once again, may be it works now, hope so [05:03] What's a good way to troubleshoot slow network issues on ubuntu 10.10? I have a Realtek 8112L network card and my internet (and networks) speeds are terrible in ubuntu [05:03] J_C: bye [05:03] hello, the touch pad on my HP Pavillion DV6-3079TX can't right click on ubuntu, any help? [05:03] I've tried disabling ipv6, using the driver directly from realtek, etc. But none of it makes any difference [05:03] J_C maco: thanks for ur support, I'll be back if any problems [05:03] anybody? [05:03] anyone? [05:04] while-do-done: sudo gdmsetup [05:04] isaiah: I seem to remember that the realtek had a known issue. [05:04] theamazingbeat: 4096, ssh or not [05:04] thanks [05:04] a lot [05:04] :) [05:04] xiong: what you do now is reboot and wait for the problem to reoccur. when it does do another "ps aux > ~/ps-2011-02-12.log" except with that day's date and see if there is anything that stands out. you may need to do this a number of times before you see a pattern [05:04] Guest87446: no prob [05:04] gsp2009: Any solutions that you remember? I've tried everything I can think of [05:04] while-do-done: unlock, then pick which DE you want from the dropdown [05:04] :-) [05:04] someone please help me? [05:04] !help | jwils [05:04] the touch pad on my HP Pavillion DV6-3079TX can't right click on ubuntu, any help? [05:04] jwils: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:04] I guess I'm going to have to go back to an older version, or maybe just go buy a new network card [05:04] isaiah: 8112L? [05:05] gsp2009: Yeah [05:05] <_skpl> hi, is it possible to run unity on ubuntu 10,10 [05:05] I can't stand 10K/s download speeds ;) [05:05] <_skpl> ?? [05:05] isaiah: wait one sec. [05:05] trench: was no need in that case, and also not possible back then without a reboot. [05:05] gsp2009: Thanks :) [05:05] _skpl: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook [05:05] gsp2009: I'm using 64 bit if that makes any difference [05:05] isaiah: but I'm standing on 10k/s not even 10K/s :( [05:05] dcg, I will need to be lucky even to remember, next time it happens. This may be the third time in two years. [05:05] it does say Ubuntu Desktop [05:05] dcg: well now days you can keep the kernel up to date with ksplice too [05:06] xangua: in 10.10 ubuntu netbook used the unity interface be forewarned [05:06] while-do-done: do you login automatically when booting? [05:06] trench: yep, and have a couple of systems I do that for [05:06] i've asked my question about 3 times [05:06] yes [05:06] <_skpl> xangua: ok, i'll try that [05:06] pksadiq: ha, well right now mine is pretty bad. I just get a apt-get upgrade and the download speed is 6,748B/s ;) [05:06] the touch pad on my HP Pavillion DV6-3079TX can't right click on ubuntu, anyone help me out? [05:07] isaiah: I'm living with a GPRS phone working on GSM and 2.5G [05:07] jwils: apparently not, but sounds like a busted button to me. [05:07] while-do-done: try setting it to ask for password before logging in and see if GNOME is the default desktop environment chosen at the login screen [05:07] pksadiq: Ouch [05:07] gdmsetup has ubuntu desktop as the default session but not kde [05:07] jwils: What's it detected as in dmesg? === semitones is now known as sillytones === Guest59535 is now known as LjL-Temp [05:08] !dmesg > pksadiq [05:08] pksadiq, please see my private message [05:08] isaiah: what kernel version? [05:08] my touch pad is weird, its all one button and the win driver tells whether im touching in the right clicjk region === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest22490 [05:08] hey [05:08] the session on the login screen says kde [05:08] <_skpl> xangua: how do i start it? [05:08] gsp2009: 2.6.35-22-generic [05:08] is there a compiz scale addon or something similar for windows 7 [05:08] HowardTheDuck: not in NY are you? [05:09] nope [05:09] tx [05:09] _skpl: log out and log in with netbook/unity interface [05:09] jwils: I have the same kind of touchpad on my laptop - 10.10 did not work for me so I reverted to 10.04 [05:09] HowardTheDuck: why would anyone attempt to do such a thing? [05:09] so 10.04 supports it? [05:09] J_C: I tried startx: I got error no screen found [05:09] jwils: it's still not great, but at least right click works [05:09] while-do-done: is there an option to save GNOME as default when you select it? I forget [05:09] hello [05:09] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/ [05:09] ? [05:09] J_C : now logged in from failsafe mode [05:09] dcg, As I suspected, the culprit was Google Chrome. The problem went away after I closed the last window. [05:09] is Ubuntu Desktop edition Gnome? [05:09] HowardTheDuck: no, that isn't the answer I'm looking for. :) [05:09] HowardTheDuck: Oh, you mean the "Drag-to-side0and-half-of-screen" thing? I'm using it right now, actively. :) [05:10] isaiah: you have any old kernels still installed? [05:10] while-do-done: yes [05:10] yeats : thank you [05:10] jwils: alternately, you can set the assistive technologies so that a right click is simulated when you hold the left click down [05:10] gsp2009: No, this was actually a fresh install of 10.10. I went back and tested and even the live cd gives me issues [05:10] I'll reboot and see [05:10] HowardTheDuck: and by 'compiz scale', what do you mean by that, exactly? [05:10] ive dont that but it doesnt quite do it for me [05:10] jwils: and it's not an ubuntu-specific issue - I'm pretty sure it's kernel-related [05:10] no [05:10] jwils: same behavior on Fedora 14 [05:11] gsp2009: I was on 9.10 before and didn't have issues, but I forget what kernel version I was using [05:11] dcg, That last window was some other-language Wikipedia page and had been open for a few days; the window itself wasn't the issue. Something in Chrome, doubtless related to having a hundred tabs open at once. [05:11] xiong: interesting, if you remember next time, try selectively killing chrome stuff and see if you can narrow it down....alternatively contact google to see if it is a known issue. maybe you need to *upgrade* [05:11] the scale plugin in compiz....where all the open windows tile on the screen and you click the one you want to focus on [05:11] nice alt-tab alternative [05:11] J_C: the command u suggested is not working I guess [05:11] isaiah: what I had found, and found again was that there were posts from users stating that after 2.6.32-24 kernel upgrade, the 8112L was slow [05:11] gsp2009: That was 32bit though... I'm wondering if the 64bit driver is just no good. [05:11] HowardTheDuck, Oh, so you want a Linux feature on Windows 7... [05:11] excuse me... is there anyone here who knows stuff about scripts? [05:12] rajesh_: is your card even recognized? try running dmesg [05:12] dcg, The Chrome design framework is supposed to eliminate any sort of kingpin or single point of failure; each tab runs in its own process. I don't actually see what's going on. [05:12] Starminn, actually, a Mac feature first. but yes, I am wondering if there is a similar program in Windows 7 [05:12] isaiah: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1540347 [05:12] rainspeaker: yes what would you like to know [05:12] rajesh_: or if it is a fresh install, just reinstall [05:12] ok [05:12] dcg, wait a second while I type it up === robertzaccour is now known as razaccour [05:12] it loaded gnome after i changed the session to gnome on the login screen, thanks [05:13] HowardTheDuck: probably better to ask in #windows, pretty sure there isn't === razaccour is now known as robertzaccour [05:13] gsp2009: Hmm.. that sucks. I'd rather not be stuck on an old version. I will take a look at that thread though [05:13] HowardTheDuck: Fair enough -- this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73Rw8jZ0lfc is using this: http://insentient.net/ which is a Windows 7 thing for the same effect. (After a quick Google) [05:13] HowardTheDuck: but you never know, someone did write litestep, after all :) [05:13] Gnea, people i #windows don't know [05:13] rainspeaker: if it is large please use pastebin or join my private channel #sbts [05:13] J_C: I installed a load of softwares for my study purpose, need to install everything again, oh, isn't there other solution [05:13] HowardTheDuck: not surprising [05:13] isaiah: try this one... http://www.jamesonwilliams.com/realtek-8112l-on-linux it sounds like this jameson williams guy wrote a driver. [05:13] thanks starcoder [05:13] er [05:13] Starminn, [05:14] gsp2009: Thanks for the link. I will give that a try! [05:14] HowardTheDuck: Yeah, folks on the ##windows channel know less about Windows than here on #ubuntu.... *facepalm* Anyway, tell me how it goes. If not we could maybe try to find you something else. (Yw, :) ) [05:14] isaiah: sorry man. that is the best I can do for you. [05:14] rajesh_: short of running the reconfigure script, I' don't know [05:14] isaiah: yw. [05:14] Starminn: nice [05:14] sweet!!! [05:14] thanks this looks perfect, even better than the compiz version [05:14] J_C: Oh I'm lost in the middle of no where [05:15] HowardTheDuck: Glad to help :) lol [05:16] Starminn: I like how he's running Ubuntu in a virtual machine ;) [05:16] rajesh_: is this the command you executed "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ? [05:16] Assalamualaikum.. [05:16] J_C: yes, that is the command [05:17] rajesh_: : and what exactly happened? [05:17] rajesh_: did the xorg config file get setup? [05:17] dcg: I use a netbook running 10.10 Desktop Edition with an external monitor that I plug into for a lot of my usage. It got really annoying to have to go into the monitor preferences every time I wanted to switch, so I wrote a little script that checks xrandr every seven seconds and switches if the monitor is connected. I was almost done writing it, and I tested it with just the thing to make it switch to the external monitor, nothing to [05:17] Gnea: Ditto. [05:17] dcg: do you want to see the script? [05:17] J_C: it asked for password and it didn't ask for anything else [05:18] J_C: it didn't show anything like it setup xorg file [05:18] rajesh_: did you enter your password? [05:18] J_C: yes I entered password [05:18] Hello I am using ubuntu 10.04 LTS server. can anybody tell me suitable server from branded manufacturer like IBM, Dell, HP etc ? [05:18] rajesh_: did you then try "startx" [05:18] J_C: as mentioned in that site, follow the next instructions, But I didn't get any instructions [05:18] Sunit: Buying an actual server unit will be rather expensive [05:18] rainspeaker: yes please, and your line was too long so I didn't see everything you just typed. please pastebin the script and /join #sbts to continue the conversation [05:19] Hey [05:19] rajesh_: try "startx" [05:19] Starminn: Got to admit, I've used Win7 on a dual-monitor system and it's pretty decent, stable and can get the job done. Still, it's a resource hog and it doesn't need to be. [05:19] ok [05:19] h/o [05:19] how do i open a text document "inside" of the terminal? [05:19] Bipolah: tell me both the options - assembled and Branded === dcg_ is now known as dcg [05:19] J_C: I'm running X, in failsafe mode [05:19] Heyheyhey I just have a quick question about 10.04 that's been really bugging me, would anybody like to help? === orion is now known as Guest24522 [05:20] adv0cate: by using a terminal-based text editor, like nano, vim or emacs [05:20] gsp2009: i got it working :) Thanks! [05:20] rajesh_: so X works then [05:20] Starminn, this works perfectly, I appreciate it. My googling on this thing came up dry, but I probably used bad terminiology to search [05:20] adv0cate, cat /my/document.txt -- maybe. [05:20] Gnea, i did it before using a command [05:20] adv0cate: if you just want to open it in a read-only state, less document.txt works [05:20] Araxis: glad to hear it. Firewall blocking something? [05:20] J_C: only in failsafe mode and without compositing [05:20] rajesh_: try "telinit 5" [05:20] asdfghjkl: Just ask your question, you don't need to ask to ask. [05:20] gnea, xiong, thanks [05:21] adv0cate: then you can just use the up and down arrows, pageup/pagedown keys to scroll through it, then just [q]uit [05:21] cat, less, more, vi, emacs -- what do you want to do, adv0cate? [05:21] rajesh_: now that you have reset the X configs [05:21] gsp2009: I think I had some stupid setting in the remote desktop program, but the firewall helped me identify the issue [05:21] J_C: I have to go to recoverymode, then from there failsafe mode === Guest24522 is now known as OrionPseudo [05:21] xiong: don't forget most [05:21] I can find tmp in terminal but not in nautilus [05:21] Araxis: nice :) [05:21] xiong, i just want to read documents inside of terminal [05:21] Sunit: Is this a server just for your use, ie hosting your files, or actual commercial use? [05:21] Ok so I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my computer but even when I put the cd in it wont install anything from the software center, it says disk not found. I installed it from a flash drive, but it didn't work on that, so I burned it to a disk, and it still doesnt work on that. [05:21] rajesh_: what heppens when you run "telinit 5" ?? [05:21] HowardTheDuck: Hate it when that happens, haha. For the record, this was my search query, using Google: "Compiz Scale on Windows 7" [05:21] I have 6 gigs memory but the sytem monitor says I have 3.2 gigs [05:21] Bipolah: it's for production [05:22] brophat [05:22] J_C: It just asked password [05:22] First result [05:22] adv0cate, Then you probably want to explore the various pagers, which are made for the purpose. The most popular, today, I suspect, is 'less'. Try 'man less'. [05:22] whats ur processor speed and ur os bit? [05:22] Starminn, doh lo [05:22] lol [05:22] rajesh_: and did you give the password? [05:22] with ubuntu? [05:22] J_C nothing else, it didn't showed up any configs [05:22] HowardTheDuck: Anyway, I'm headed out. Glad to help. See ya, everybody. [05:22] J_C: yes I gave password [05:22] brophat, what is ur os 32 or 64? [05:22] !pae [05:22] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [05:22] brophat: if you are using 32bit install pae kernell [05:22] rajesh_: it won't, it should just start X [05:22] LinuxNoob 32 [05:22] thats why [05:23] adv0cate: I tend to install mc (midnight commander) and use it's builtin viewer, it can handle a wide variety of file types including compressed log files and man pages. it even uses syntax highlighting for a lot of formats including man pages [05:23] Starminn, thing is, I got a new laptop, and I can't run Ubuntu on it, so I'm tyring to mimick the features I like in Ubuntu in Windows 7 [05:23] Could anyone recommend a decent MySQL database viewer similar to Navicat? [05:23] 6gb is to much for 32bit [05:23] max 32 bit can handle is 4gb [05:23] sorry u wasted money =/ [05:23] BiPolah: don't know navicat [05:23] halp [05:23] LinuxNoob should I get the 64 bit ubuntu? [05:23] J_C: nothing happening as u mentioned [05:23] never mind I found /tmp [05:23] if u have a 64bit processor yes [05:23] if not, it wont work [05:23] J_C: shall I reboot and check? [05:23] HowardTheDuck: any reason why you can't run Ubuntu on the new lappy? [05:23] Hello, guys, I need advice, which should I install "Kubuntu" or "Fedora 14"? I have space for just 1 of them, I only know Ubuntu so far, please any suggestion?? [05:23] If you've got more than 4Gb of RAM, you'll need to get 64 bit else the rest will go unused [05:24] Bipolah : server is to be used for production sector [05:24] dcg, whats the command to install...sudo apt-get install mc/ [05:24] yup [05:24] exactly [05:24] dcg, yeah, Intel/Nvidia Optimus technology [05:24] dcg,? [05:24] i know my hardware :D [05:24] victorhugo289: what answer do you expect when asking in #ubuntu? [05:24] rajesh_: if you had it working when you first loaded it, then I ould suggest re-load and do not screw around with plymouth after that :-) [05:24] LinuxNoob: I said you can use pae kernel for more than 4GB [05:24] LinuxNoob I think I do AMD Athlon II X4 635 [05:24] LinuxNoob: can't imagine a system these days that's 32bit that accepts more than 2g or 4g that isn't standard consumer-based [05:24] adv0cate: yep, if you just try running mc you will get a commandline suggestion... [05:24] J_C: sure, I'll reboot now [05:24] a 32 system cant run more than 4gb [05:24] HowardTheDuck: I'm not sure how you're managing to run Windows 7 but not Ubuntu. As far as I'm aware, Windows is generally more resource-intensive... [05:24] I if enable the proprietary Nvidia drivers, it crashes me. If I disable Nvidia and use integrated Intel video, the Nvidia card still eats battery along w/ the integrated video [05:25] look at this ram stick brb lemme find it [05:25] anyone use prelink? any noticeable performance improvement? [05:25] LinuxNoob: it can, using PAE [05:25] I know LLuts, but I really need to install one of them, I'm gonna be dedicating a lot of time learning it, I want to install the correct one.. [05:25] BiPolah, it's not about resources, it's a brand new lappy. It's that Linux won't run on Optimus [05:25] LinuxNoob does the 64 bit ubuntu work ok? [05:25] LinuxNoob: not the point, if a 32bit system can actually *accept* more memory installed... [05:25] well, it will run, but not worth it. [05:25] LinuxNoob: as in, the physical memory itself [05:25] HowardTheDuck: Ah, the hardware is unsupported in Linux? [05:25] I am still trying to see if I can completely disable the Nvidia graphics card in Ubuntu, if so I can dual boot. [05:25] ok how do i run mc, dcg? [05:25] gsp2009: not necesary since 2008 [05:25] "Kubuntu" or "Fedora 14", I'm a complete noob, which should I choose?? [05:25] brophat [05:26] like i said only if u have 64 bit processor [05:26] victorhugo289: ubuntu [05:26] BiPolah, yeah, Optimus only works in Win 7. I specifically bought this laptop b/c it had Nvidia graphics, thinking I'd be set for Linux compatibility [05:26] heh [05:26] victorhugo289: Kubuntu [05:26] victorhugo289: I would recommand ubuntu :p [05:26] AdvoWork: open a terminal and type "mc" [05:26] Pretty ticked to find out this Nvidia card won't work [05:26] LinuxNoob i got an AMD quad core that is 64 bit no? [05:26] question guys, how do i set up my swap? [05:26] I have Maverick Meerkat already, I have space for just one more OS... [05:26] adv0cate: better still is run aptitude and then search for mc with "/\bmc\b" then use "n" to jump to the next option till you find mc.....now press + then g this will show you a list of what it wants to install and a list of extra stuff that can be usefull. add any extras you want using + then hit g and away it goes. [05:26] yes amd quad is 64 [05:26] HowardTheDuck: hard to believe that it doesn't, which one is it? [05:26] xangua: ugh... ok.. so I should remove it? any detriment to having it on 10.10? [05:26] Gnea, Optimus [05:26] where is the error log for mysql usiing phpmyadmin in ubuntu? [05:26] nice thanks i am gonna get ubuntu 64 bit [05:26] HowardTheDuck: er, uh, model #? [05:26] np [05:27] LinuxNoob: When defining partitions while installing Ubuntu, just create a partition with the size matching the amount of RAM you have then set it's mount point as "swap". [05:27] Gnea, Nvidia 310M [05:27] Geforce 310M [05:27] is more swap the better? [05:27] http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=144750 [05:27] i have 0% swap [05:27] victorhugo289: if you already have maverick installed, theres no need to install kubuntu. install kubuntu-desktop and switch desktop in gdm when logging in [05:27] see first 2 posts here [05:27] lol [05:27] HowardTheDuck: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:28] victorhugo289: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [05:28] anyone around here have much luck dealing with 10.10s problems with intel 915 and related chipsets? [05:28] dcg, sorry im still learning linux..whats the correct command i shoudl use? [05:28] adv0cate: just type mc....then F1 will give you help [05:28] cidtrips [05:28] Thank you. [05:28] whats ur vidcard? [05:28] HowardTheDuck: according to nvidia.com, it's supported, and ubuntu tends to stay well up-to-date on nvidia drivers, are you sure you installed the correct number? there are a few sets of them, you know, and of those sets only certain cards are supported [05:28] That's actually a good idea. [05:28] dcg oh nice [05:28] Gnea, sigh [05:28] okay [05:28] hey all, is there a mint channel? [05:29] !mint | mkquist [05:29] mkquist: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [05:29] !mint | mkquist [05:29] hello ... [05:29] the 310M is supported, but Optimus technology is NOT supported.

[05:29] hi suz [05:29] Optimus is graphics switching technology where the OS automatically toggles between integrated and discrete graphics based on power needs [05:29] is it nvdida or amd [05:29] thats all i need to know x_X [05:29] it works on Windows 7 [05:30] HowardTheDuck: interesting [05:30] on Ubuntu both graphics cards remain active eating batter at best, at worst, Ubuntu won't boot [05:30] yep [05:30] installing the Nvidia drivers on an Optimus lappy will break your install [05:30] #boobs [05:30] OOO WINdos, is my specialty, i can help out alot with that =/ [05:30] HowardTheDuck: have you read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1586292 [05:30] !ot | notanark [05:30] notanark: #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! [05:30] adv0cate: I use mc as a file manager even on a gui system, it is much faster to navigate and do most filemanager type tasks. [05:31] As a note, don't try to open up 65MB files with gedit then scroll through them quickly. [05:31] dcg: I posted the script on #sbts sorry it took me so long [05:31] LinuxNoob: bah, it's some uber fubard deal in an hp probook 4520s, device id 1413, vendor hp... [05:31] dcg, ok so how do i open the files inside of the terminal? [05:32] adv0cate: I would recommend hitting F9 and going into options -> config turning on "Drop down menus" and "use internal edit" and "Lynx-like motion" then hit save [05:32] HowardTheDuck: as I haven't used the optimus stuff yet, I'm curious as to how disabling the GPU wouldn't disable output to the screen [05:32] rainspeaker: np will be there in a moment [05:32] I have my server running behind 2 routers. (not the best idea, i know) I am unable to access my ssh server from outside the LAN. Can someone help me open the ports on the server to let me ssh in from outside the LAN? [05:33] piercedwater: you need to set your routers up to accept it [05:33] Piercedwater: If I might ask, why are you using two routers? Or do you mean a router and a switch? [05:33] I have forwarded ports on both routers [05:33] piercedwater: then it should work [05:33] dcg: k thanks [05:33] Gnea, well, Optimus is pretty much automatic switching between integrated Intel graphics on core-i3 and i5s and Geforce 310M. Geforce 310M only kicks on when needed, like loading a game, to conserve battery [05:33] J_C: still no joy, [05:33] BiPolah: No, two routers. Because I bought the second router for future use and now I need a switch [05:33] adv0cate: highlight the file, then hit F3 to view it, F4 will allow you to edit the file, but won't work in some cases, (eg: compressed or binary files) experiment with caution. [05:33] LinuxNoob: but running 10.10 live from usb or cd works fine, but when I try to install, either KMS getting enabled or something completely much up all video.. I get command line login, then if I try to start X the system hangs (though ACPI events are still captured, so the system isn't locked up) [05:34] Gnea: is there anything in Ubuntu that would prevent me from sshing in? [05:34] 310M in my case, could be any Nvidia mobile card I guess [05:34] hi, i'm using compaq cq40 401ax notebook with linux 10.04 lts. i can't use built-in camera , maybe driver is not installed. i tried to find the model with lsusb but i can't identify it. can anyone help me with this problem? [05:34] HowardTheDuck: oooh, okay, so how does one go about disabling the GPU? in the BIOS? [05:34] Piercedwater: Could you not just set the second router up to function only as a switch? [05:34] J_C: I thing my display settings is not being detected === will_ is now known as HiPotOk [05:34] BiPolah: I have been trying to do that all night. Not sure how. [05:34] greetings all [05:34] piercedwater: not by default, just make sure sshd is installed and running [05:34] Gnea, BIOS if able, yes. My Dell Vostro 3500 BIOS has no option for that [05:34] adv0cate: there is a status bar at the bottom of the screen showing the common F key functions, there are a lot more things available on the menu (F9) [05:34] Hello! anyone know if there is a way to undo the last package installation? [05:34] HowardTheDuck: is there a BIOS update for that system? [05:35] so I'm kinda stuck with Windows for the forseable future. No no BIOS update, I'm current [05:35] looking for some infomation, do I just jump in and ask? [05:35] Piercedwater: Disable all the functions a router normally does: DHCP, NAT, port forwarding etc. [05:35] HowardTheDuck: that blows, at least you could use virtualbox [05:35] HiPotOk: go ahead and ask our question [05:35] Gnea, yeah, but I'm lame. I really miss my destkop cube lol [05:35] lol [05:35] BiPolah: When I did that, I was unable to get an IP behind the router... [05:35] how do you disable the pad on ubuntu> [05:36] unity [05:36] what's a good ubuntu10.04 harddisk space, granting i'll install most of the goodies that comes with it via the internet..??? [05:36] i'm setting up this box for my nephew.. [05:36] tsolox, how big is your hard drive? [05:36] 20G [05:37] I am trying to do something I thought was simple, I created a directory /shares ... now I just want to setup samba to share this and ONLY this one directory... I set permissions with chmod to 777 but GUI tells me that I can't share a folder I don't own "owner is root" [05:37] HowardTheDuck: 500GB..but i'll dual boot..and my nephew has no internet connection..so i'll have all ready before shipping this to him. [05:37] is there a easy quick fix to give anon access to this directory with SAMBA? [05:37] Hipotok: run chmod with sudo, or change yourself to the owner? [05:37] HowardTheDuck: did you find this one yet? looks like it might possibly work... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1657660&highlight=optimus [05:37] HiPotOk: setup samba correctly [05:37] HowardTheDuck: i don't want to waste space ... [05:38] tsolox, well I dual boot w/ 500 gigs, I give more room to Windows. [05:38] even though I spend 90% of my time on the desktop in Ubuntu [05:38] Hey, I have been trying to setup a ligtweight gaming system for my 5 year old brother, and I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu Lucid & Windows XP SP3 Pro. I am trying to burn the XP .iso to the DVD, but the DVD is not recognized, and I have tried several. It is on a DVD-R/CD-R read/writer and I am using Memorex DVD-R's. what do you guys think? [05:38] tsolox: Can you use the entire hard drive or only part of it? [05:38] llutz_ thx man... that was very helpful [05:38] !samba | HiPotOk [05:38] Synaptic: "plymouth is an graphical boot animation and logger." In what log file can I find the log entries which Plymouth has made? [05:38] HiPotOk: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [05:38] BiPolah: i have all [05:38] ubottu: thx m8, I will check that link out... [05:38] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:39] faizul: does this 20GB can cover most of the goodies that i will fetch with synaptics? [05:39] tsolox: Do the simple method then, set it all as a single partition mounted on /, but leave however much RAM you have to set as swap [05:39] I know there are programs for Windows that will let it read ext4, but I rather just give more room to the ntfs partition [05:39] HiPotOk: check the repos for Samba Server Configuration Tool [05:39] tsolox: It's not necessary to set Ubuntu up with different partitions for /usr/ /tmp/ and so on [05:40] I am out.. g'night folks. [05:40] outsies [05:40] BiPolah: i know. My question is ,how much is a decent ubuntu hd size, granting i'll fetch some good software in synaptics... [05:40] so I guess my question kind of changes, 10.10 runs fine from live environment, but once installed to the hd, it has issues inserting the intel_agp module and all graphics opperations hang... it uses the i915 driver and drm_kms_helper fine in a live env though... === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [05:41] after this is over, no more net connection...once i ship this over... [05:41] so i gotta fetch the goodies that ubuntu has...or whatever is in synaptics... [05:41] well, i guess 20GB is optimal... [05:41] I downloaded lots of stuff already and used 25gigs [05:42] HiPotOk: The guide I used for setting up samba on my 10.10 server is https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html [05:42] foxjaz: like what stuff for example???? [05:42] blender [05:42] lamp [05:42] k..skip..others...k [05:42] i'll probably need lamp [05:42] eclips [05:42] could anyone tell me how to preload v4lcompat.so so that my webcam is started before gdm? I am trying pam-face-authentication [05:42] hmmm...k [05:42] skype [05:42] !lamp [05:42] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [05:43] seems like v4l2_compat_ioctl32 <-- driver is actually loaded for the webcam but i can't use the webcam with cheese webcam booth. [05:43] foxjaz: there has to be a giant app you have there...those are tiny [05:43] tsolox: Like I said, just set it as the entire space and leave some for swap. Any software you get will go into the Ubuntu partition... [05:43] BiPolah: i'm gonna partition this box...with dual windows.. [05:44] i need to know how much to set for ub [05:44] I removed volume control on my panel in ubuntu 10.04. how do I put it back? [05:44] once this is done..no more internet connection [05:44] tsolox: well, you said you could use the entire hard drive. How big is the drive? [05:44] Is there an equivalent option to the -d option for du with the gnu du that comes with ubuntu? [05:45] BiPolah: 500G [05:45] BiPolah: and i'm about to partition now [05:45] pnorman: what did the -d flag do? [05:45] foxjaz: well, 20GB is decent... [05:45] tsolox: Ah, I'd recommend ubuntu, windows and data [05:45] hi guys [05:46] -d depth Display an entry for all files and directories depth directories deep. [05:46] i run this video on thier home page http://www.elivecd.org/ but its not saved in my /tmp where to find that? [05:46] tsolox: I imagine about 40GB for Ubuntu, 60GB for Windows and 400GB for data [05:46] you see, after this box is ship..it will no longer update..my bro has no net connection.. [05:46] tsolox: And of course, swap for ubuntu [05:46] --max-depth=N pnorman [05:46] Ah, thanks [05:46] pnorman: man du [05:47] BiPolah: i'll take 30GB... [05:47] how do I add volume control back to top panel in ubuntu 10.04? [05:47] pnorman: dunno, unless --max-depth=N does it... [05:47] tsolox: That's also fine [05:47] but... foxjaz already downloaded much but just occupied 25G [05:47] woodyjlw: add the indicator to the panel [05:47] Woodyjlw: Right click the panel > Add To Panel... > Indicator Applet [05:47] can anybody tell me suitable server for ubuntu 10.04 LTS with hardware RAID configuration ? [05:47] thanks that fixed [05:47] tsolox: i think, 20GB is ok... [05:48] sorry for the precision here..but once this is setup, it won't chang. [05:48] Sunit: See my chat, please [05:48] i'll setup this one time..and that's it!! [05:48] tsolox: If he won't be adding any more stuff to it, 20Gb is probably fine [05:48] Bipolah: ok [05:48] BiPolah: that's it!!20G...thanks [05:49] i'll fetch in synaptics..to optimize 20GB...then ship this box [05:49] Hi.

[06:41] sometimes they look like they wont play..and i run them through the cleaner. sometimes they look like they wont but they play anyway..other times i have a disk that looks brand new but it still wont play [06:41] righteousRat: "info touch" may tell you more [06:41] alpha7: the other way you can do it is to use the "find" command which has an option "-exec" that is designed to do exactly this, only problem is it can be very hard to get working right as there are some serious quoting issues [06:41] thank you guys for help [06:41] righteousRat: man touch === jasmin is now known as Guest94134 [06:41] I say mysql in the list with ps auth [06:41] and yes i know i could use mdadm... but that is not what i want to use... [06:41] *saw [06:41] the reason i ask is because earlier i googles "how to create a file from the terminal" and someone said just use "touch filename" [06:41] i would like to..if there was question...just throw the thing in a machine and have it do a high speed integrity check and if not..report where the data is not being read. [06:42] righteousRat: thats a sideeffect. if a file doesn't exist, touch creates it [06:42] thats a pretty nice side effect...thank you [06:42] righteousRat: you could also do: > file.txt [06:42] righteousRat: shorter to use ">file-to-create" [06:42] that would create too [06:42] oh wow lol i forgot about that one [06:42] thanks you guys [06:42] all usefule tips [06:42] useful ...please pardon the typos [06:43] righteousRat: touch is usually used to either create an empty file (for various reasons like presetting permissions) or updateing timestamps. the latter is often used so that some other process (make for example) knows that the file has changed [06:43] bazhang, before i farkled my top and bottom panels.... i had the network connection app..... restoring the panels.... did not restore the network app.... i am not finding the location for it in order to add it to the top panel ...... pointer please, so that i may connect to the net again.

[06:58] hvnsweeting: in server you have the browser w3m installed, I think use check w3m www.google.com , I'm not sure [06:58] pksadiq, wvdial requires access to the net (apt-get) which i do not have... pon says that i am not a member of the 'dip' group. [06:59] tortoise7: try sudo pppconfig [06:59] tortoise7, staylone tray is a tray for applications that is best suited for enlightenment. but you can try it in gnome also. [06:59] just install staylonetray and add nm-applet to it [07:00] pksadiq: thanks, but in the Tutorial i saw they use Firefox. HOw to do that?

[07:20] If you can, boot up to a livecd real quick and open a terminal, and do "lspci" and pastebin the output. [07:20] Then we can determine why it's not loading on reboot. [07:20] atheros one sec for any other info [07:21] I think Atheros is mostly supported now though... [07:21] May I please have some help? Perhaps you would help me k1rk? [07:21] truepurple, I didn't see your question. what was it? [07:21] can any one slow my issue with ubuntu ? [07:21] recognosco: ok, thanks [07:21] Am I to understand that net install from unetbootin creates the basic file for downloading and installing ubuntu etc at the same time? [07:21] solve* [07:22] Is that a correct understanding of netinstal k1rk? [07:22] truepurple, netinstall from unetbootin... [07:22] That's that one flash drive tool... [07:22] Yes [07:22] netinstall I believe is "mini.iso" which is only a few megs and downloads packages as needed during setup. [07:22] I imagine it would turn a flash drive into a bootable mini.iso [07:23] But I can't say I've done that. [07:23] yeah everything shows up fine i can find my network and all that but when i type in the password for network it tries to connect then kicks back to the password input screen [07:23] truepurple, I installed ubuntu on a flash drive one time, but I did it by selecting it as a partition in the normal installation routine. [07:23] So I download this miniiso and I can install and download the rest at the same time on a blank HDD? [07:23] celeryman90, oh... what kind of encryption are you using on your network? [07:24] wep pass is the one on the 2wire att modom [07:24] solve this issue i am facing with ubuntu https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/145080 [07:24] truepurple, maybe I'm tired but that didn't make sense to me... mini.iso is a small installer that downloads packages from the Internet. The benefit is it's quick to make and the packages are up to date. The installation will take awhile on a slow connection, however. [07:25] celeryman90, and it works during setup? Do you get an IP address from the router? [07:25] Can this be done from boot without a OS? [07:25] Does anyone know how to configure which station the gnome clock weather function is using? [07:25] truepurple, mini.iso loads up a linux installer. Then it detects your networking and uses the Internet repositories for everything else. [07:25] truepurple: mini.iso/netinstall is an OS [07:25] !nvidia [07:25] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [07:26] truepurple: yes,with bios-set to usb once booted it is correct [07:26] not currently cause it wont connect.. [07:26] celeryman90, if you do ifconfig what do you get back? [07:26] anyone know how to auto mount hard drive when computer starts up [07:26] What FS does unetbootin use? [07:26] truepurple: you boot that from USB and it will let you install all the stuff, loading it from internet instead of getting it from cd/dvd [07:26] every single time its not mounted i have to manually double click on the paration [07:27] alpha7, you need to edit /etc/fstab, or else make a startup script in /etc/init.d to run the mount command. Take your pickk. [07:27] *pick [07:27] i get etho0 and lo and wlan0 all with info [07:27] celeryman90, and no IP addresses? [07:27] And with netinstall, I can also get the partitioning tool required to set up the HDD, right llutz_? [07:27] negative [07:27] truepurple, yes...it's a Ubuntu installer. [07:27] k1rk how would edit my /etc/fsab or the init.d file [07:27] truepurple, the ONLY difference is the package files are not on the cd. everything else is just like an 'alternate cd' installer basicaly. [07:28] *basically [07:28] truepurple: thats what the installer is for [07:28] alpha7, you probably don't want to edit /etc/fstab if you're asking that question... you could fuck up your machine that way. [07:28] llutz, what FS does unetbootin use? [07:28] im using my u 10.04 on my laptop to chat, the aspire is next to me so i cant copy paste for you [07:28] !fstab alpha7 [07:28] Does that work? [07:29] nope [07:29] !fstab | alpha7 [07:29] alpha7: 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 [07:29] There we go. [07:29] !init.d | alpha7 [07:29] tx [07:29] oh nothing for that eh? [07:29] lol [07:29] They're phasing out /etc/init.d/ [07:29] truepurple: ? unetbootin just writes the mini-iso to an usb-device, idk what fs it uses (who cares?) [07:29] I still use it... lol [07:29] k1rk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:29] any one reply ? [07:29] Ahhhhhhhh. [07:29] lol [07:29] celeryman90: is your network hidden? [07:30] celeryman90: are you using kde-netbook? [07:30] llutz_ if it uses fat32, it will only see 4gb of a 8gb flash drive, right? [07:30] Can anybody tell me Ubuntu 10.04 LTS certified hardware with RAID configuration ? [07:30] truepurple: why? [07:30] alpha7, fstab isn't hard to edit. If you can't figure it out or you don't feel confident you can pm me sometime. I don't have long tonight...I'm really dead tired. I'm just stopping in because I don't want to sleep. xP [07:30] no reco its not it shows on the wireless dropdown and its UNR 10.10 [07:30] llutz_ I don't know why, that is just what I was told before, are you saying that is wrong? [07:30] truepurple: the mini.iso ist just 50MB, so how does it matter? [07:31] The rest of the space on the flash drive I wish to use for other things... [07:31] truepurple: fat32 has a filesize limit of 4gb, thats right. it doesn't matter in this case at all [07:31] alpha7, anyone here who's techy should be able to help you edit fstab. It's not that bad. [07:31] celeryman90: could connect with iwconfig? [07:31] Does unetbootin use fat32? [07:31] alpha7, if you're comfy with pico\nano, use that. "nano /etc/fstab" [07:31] truepurple: you need that usb-drive once for installation. after its done, you can use it for whatever you want again [07:31] alpha7, basically you'll need to know your filesystem type (ext3, ext4, etc) and your hardware location. (/dev/sdb1, etc) [07:32] I may wish to keep the linux install on it [07:32] nope shows connections but no info [07:32] truepurple: so you want install ubuntu TO that usb-drive? [07:32] Maybe [07:32] Do you know if it uses fat32? [07:32] truepurple, do you want it to run like a Live CD or be persistent. (ie, you can change files) [07:32] truepurple, those are two different procedures. [07:32] truepurple: in that case (if that works) it will have to use an unix-fs like ext4 [07:33] llutz_, it can be done. [07:33] If I make it a live CD, can I still download other things to it? [07:33] llutz_, I corrupted a 16GB kingston flash drive in about a year, with no swap file, and a tmpfs /tmp and firefox cache. So I wouldn't count on it lasting long. [07:33] k1rk: netinstall from the same usb-drive you're installing TO? nice, never needed this [07:33] I used it every few days at school \ for troubleshooting.

[07:35] truepurple, I did. :P It ran fine for awhile. [07:35] I am asking about my options, I haven't decided yet [07:35] truepurple, if you don't use a journaling filesystem, and you don't have swap, it's not THAT bad. [07:35] Still not what I want to do [07:35] celeryman90: iwlist shows nothing? [07:35] truepurple, it's linux. Your options are limitless if you're willing to work at it. :P [07:36] If I make my USB flash drive into a live CD, will I also be able to store other files onto the drive? [07:36] Yes...

[07:36] if I run "sudo synaptic" then the password works fine, but if I select synaptic from the gui menu then the password is not accepted... any help?

[07:38] I just have a quick question concerning getting a wireless usb dongle working with ubuntu [07:38] So a live install does mean that all the space on the partition used by the live install, is unuseable by anything else k1rk? [07:38] !ask | MaslowK [07:38] MaslowK: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:39] truepurple, nah, you only need 700MB for a live cd iso. [07:39] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGwurS6b73Q [07:39] I am looking for packages I can uninstall to get my base sytstem below 1GB. Any advice? [07:39] Alright then, here goes. [07:39] I have removed OO.org and CUPS (it's a netbook), but I am still at 2.5GB [07:39] truepurple, you can either install it full out (then you can use aptitude and have changes saved, etc.) or you can make a different partition and use the flash drive, as a flash drive, from within your pen drive live cd. [07:39] <_jesse_> tool: that is not a screensaver; that is a visualization of a commit tree [07:39] k1rk does that need to be on its own partition because it allows no other data though? [07:39] truepurple, you can have more than one partition on a usb drive... [07:39] klobster are you running desktop? [07:40] tool: This is no screen saver. This is a program to visualize relationship between several entities. It may refer to relationships between participants in an IRCs. But I am not sure about the latter. [07:40] I know that, but that is not what I asked k1rk [07:40] truepurple, sorry... tired. what did you ask? [07:40] Does live install only allow its own disk image and no other data on its particular partition? [07:40] If you install a "live cd" that can't be modified...then yes. [07:41] Typically the ISO has its own partition in every live usb implementation I've ever seen. [07:41] s/an IRCs/IRC channels/ [07:41] if I run "sudo synaptic" then the password works fine, but if I select synaptic from the gui menu then the password is not accepted... any help? [07:41] Anyone waiting to talk to me - I will be back shortly... [07:41] k1rk Does that mean as a disk image, its unalterable, and uninfectable, just like a real CD? [07:42] <_jesse_> aaron_: strange, what about running `gksudo synaptic` from the cli? [07:42] I have " "Realtek RTL8191SU Wireless LAN 802.iin USB 2.0 Network Adapter", which apparently uses the realtek 819x chipset, and I cant get it working in ubuntu. It isnt recognized and installed automatically, and using ndiswrapper with windows drivers doesnt work. [07:42] people use synaptic? O_o [07:42] I did at one point find linux drivers for a similar chipset but it didnt work so well [07:43] <_jesse_> ejv: haha do you have a more preferred gui package manager? [07:43] aaron_: May be restarting gdm will help. Otherwise look into /var/log/messages. [07:43] So I'm guessing A) I dont know how to use ndiswrapper right, or B) I need to find proper linux drivers and a decent guide to installing them. [07:44] _jesse_: not really :) [07:44] _jesse_: gksudo works fine, however the dialogue box is slightly different - selecting synaptic from the gui gives a dialogue box that includes options to remember the password for the session, doesn't matter what I choose there, the dialgoue doesn't recognize my password [07:44] llutz, does it being a live CD disk image mean, its unalterable, and uninfectable, just like a real CD? [07:44] MaslowK: which version of ubuntu? [07:44] truepurple: idk, i don't use those live-cds [07:44] <_jesse_> aaron_: Mmm true, I'm not super familiar with that aspect of gnome [07:44] Anyone else know? [07:44] ejv: 10/10 [07:44] *10.10 [07:45] MaslowK: uname -ra [07:45] truepurple: no one else knows sorry [07:45] disk images are not unalterable, no [07:45] ejv: I havent used linux in years, im not familiar with that command [07:45] So to get a linux install from a USB flash drive, there is live CD, netinstall, anything else? === mk is now known as Guest80790 [07:45] MaslowK: just run it, it'll spit out your current kernel and architecture [07:46] MaslowK: try "sudo modprobe r8192s_usb" [07:46] truepurple: yes. usb-creator [07:46] MaslowK: details you always want to include when describing a driver problem, FYI [07:47] truepurple: sudo apt-get install usb-creator-common [07:47] how about setting wireless printer?? [07:47] llutz_: After just plugging in the card or after trying to install drivers? [07:47] any body have tutorial? [07:47] MaslowK: after pluggin in the card [07:47] bullgard: restarting gdm didn't work - I logged out in again, same issue [07:47] is there an easy way from console, to list a directoy and grep it to only list empty filenames [07:47] recognosco, I am not currently running linux or have linux installed [07:47] And thats to see if it recognizes it at all? [07:48] the admin dialogue box from the gui menu is different the standard admin dialogue box, say from gksudo [07:48] Im gonna have to reinstall ubuntu anyway before doing any of this [07:49] truepurple: you can't learn linux by asking too many questions but not trying. break something. fix it. that's the proper way. [07:49] Would probably be helpful if I were actually on the internet with nix [07:49] MaslowK: why reinstall? [07:49] aaron_: I don't know then. I'd look for an error message. [07:49] recognosco: My searches for USB creator seem to suggest its just a program for creating a USB live CD, did I search wrong? [07:49] ejv: I uninstalled it after failing to figure out my wireless cards [07:49] MaslowK: there's an easy fix, just requires going to the vendor website and doing some compiling [07:50] Well, one more question then [07:50] Would doing the install via wubi cause any issues with this? [07:50] Too lazy to go through and do a "real" install if I dont have to [07:50] MaslowK: i can't comment on wubi, having never used it [07:50] so is ne one using BlackBuntu? [07:50] MaslowK: but i don't believe so [07:51] MaslowK: if theres no real need, don't use wubi [07:51] !offtopic | forcex [07:51] forcex: #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! [07:51] truepurple: just try. break it. then ask questions. [07:51] truepurple, I am back for the record. [07:51] Yeah, I'm with recognosco [07:51] Well, I'm gonna start installing wubi now [07:51] wubi existed long after i dumped microsoft windows, you kids get to use all the fun toys these days to migrate ;) [07:51] Bah [07:52] (insert obligatory walking in the snow uphill both ways comment and get off my lawn) [07:52] I actually prefer installing it clean [07:52] lol Ubuntu is so easy it makes windows look like the wheel compaired to a porch. [07:52] wubi is more likely a crappy thing driving you into trouble, than a "fun toy" (so my expereince here from user issues with it) [07:52] But eh, its easier with wubi. Plus I dont have to kill a blank disc to do it [07:52] MaslowK: anyways i'd go to the realtek website and download the latest drivers [07:52] k1rk: If I wanted to install from a possibly (but possibly not) infected windows to a USB flash drive to install ubuntu onto a fresh HDD, what would be the best way to make sure any infection didn't carry over? Or are they about the same? [07:53] And hopw they have it in source form and can be compiled in linux? [07:53] to [07:53] you don't have to kill a disc [07:53] use a USB flash drive [07:53] I dont have a flash drive [07:53] forcex: i think KDE4 is the best looking desktop manager right now. beats windows and os x. [07:53] Yes I'm poor [07:53] lol [07:53] you can use a sd card or any thing that plugs in usb [07:54] I get these messages in /var/log/messages: pam_sm_authenticate: Called ... pam_sm_authenticate: username = [aaron] ... pam_sm_authenticate: /home/aaron is already mounted [07:54] Aaand i dont even have one of those ._. [07:54] Also [07:54] k1rk: Did you catch that last question? [07:54] truepurple, I wouldn't think the ubuntu usb install would have too much of a risk from stuff like that. [07:54] Yeah, I was just getting settled. [07:54] lol that is rough. [07:54] IIRC this motherboard doesnt even pick up USB devices as drives ;/ [07:54] Just took a hard water shower because the softener decided to recharge since it's 2am...lol [07:54] don't know how I'd do it with out. [07:55] Its pretty shitty [07:55] people. I'm trying to set up a ssh server and have found X11forwarding feature. Do you know it is possible to use X on remote Windows client? [07:55] MaslowK: latest driver from the vendor website is RTL8191SU_usb_linux_v2.6.6.0.20101111.zip [07:55] !language | MaslowK [07:55] MaslowK: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [07:55] MaslowK: should work perfectly [07:55] Besogon, Yeah... [07:55] Besogon: youll need a xserver for win like xming [07:55] k1rk: So live CD install verses net install (both from USB flash drive) would both carry the same minimal risk of infection carry over you think? [07:55] time to invest in a USB, probably saves me 80$$ a year not buying them lol [07:55] I only have 5.2GB of space on my SSD and i'm hoping to get my vanilla install of kubuntu under 1 GB. It's a CR-48, if it matters. Any advice on what software to remove? [07:55] llutz, thanks [07:55] truepurple: unless you install wine, it shouldn't infect your linux. windows binary wont execute in linux. [07:56] truepurple, I would be really surprised if anything carried over in any way. [07:56] Definitely wouldn't infect your ubuntu install. [07:56] Maybe other windows that uses the flash drive, depending on the type of infection. [07:56] recognosco: even a virus in wine won't infect linux. [07:56] have you looked in to alternates to ubuntu? Puppy Linux maybe? [07:56] recognosco, yeah, it'll only infect that users .wine folder [07:56] recognosco: There aren't bilingual OS infections that work on multiple OS? [07:56] k1rk: only way i can think is, it might infect wine environment. [07:56] ubottu: I apologize, its the alcohol talking. [07:56] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:57] truepurple, a virus is just an application. It's not gonna be multi platform. [07:57] !virus | recognosco [07:57] recognosco: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [07:57] histo: that's why you need something like clamav on mail gateways [07:58] k1rk: Right, just a application, and applications can speak multiple languages of different OS, they have to be written for that of course, but you can find such apps, so I would think the same would go for infections [07:58] truepurple, not really...it's either an exe or it's a bash script dude lol [07:58] truepurple, multi-platform apps have to be compiled for that platform. [07:58] truepurple: what did you just say? [07:59] can you guys take this to offtopic pretty please :) [07:59] truepurple: you need to read about plaforms and architecture [07:59] recognosco you want me to copy/paste what I just said? [07:59] truepurple, this is downright paranoia. hopefully your virus doesn't transmit itself to all of us through IRC as well. :D [07:59] As far as WM's go, what do you guys prefer? Between lxde, gnome, kde and xfce. [07:59] MaslowK: i like kde because it's pretty [07:59] truepurple, while it's at it, maybe it could hop on your TV tuner box if that happens to be running java. [07:59] MaslowK: questions like that aren't supported here, please ask in #ubuntu-offtoipc [07:59] Mallowcheeks: #ubuntu-offtopic * [08:00] k1rk Ok, I will take your word for it then. But please don't mistake my ignorance and caution for parania. [08:00] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SKLsbQQRZ4 [08:00] ejv: Sorry, more of a generic question [08:00] lol [08:00] truepurple: it might even infect your router [08:00] k1rk and the sarcastic hyperbole is a bit unnecessary [08:00] truepurple, I found it to be entirely necessary. :P [08:00] truepurple: i'll have to agree with kirk [08:00] Well me too, but I was trying to be generous [08:01] truepurple, Generous to who? [08:01] foobar. [08:01] generous in my wording when I described it as "a bit unnessary" [08:02] truepurple, I'm not questioning your "intensity" adjective. I'm questioning the "un" in front of "necessary" [08:02] :P [08:02] truepurple: burn a cd. [08:02] Anyway, thanks for your help, I suppose your help excuses your making fun of me now :p [08:02] so ne one tried BlackBuntu yet? [08:03] truepurple, anytime. [08:03] recognosco I can't burn a CD [08:03] truepurple: ask someone else to burn it for you. [08:03] how can you not burn a CD? [08:03] I don't know anyone right now like that [08:03] forcex: never heard of it, looks like fun [08:03] Its a really really really old PC [08:04] truepurple, it's a really really old PC, but it can boot to a usb stick? [08:04] if i want to install the ubuntu 64 bit do I have to change something in my bios to make the processor operate in 64 bit mode? [08:04] That is a laptop/desktop hybrid [08:04] that's...odd [08:04] k1rk: systems can boot to usb now that couldn't previously [08:04] This PC can't boot to USB I am sure, but the new PC I am making it for I am sure can [08:04] Gnea> it is blowing my mind right now. It is very much like standard ubuntu 10.10 but with a LOT of extras. [08:05] brophat: no [08:05] truepurple: the only way you can be sure that you have a safe system is by writing your own compiler and then building your own operating system using it. it's something brian kernighan had said [08:05] forcex: awesome, wonder if they have their own support channel? [08:05] llutz i tried loading ubuntu live 64 bits and it took a long time i had to cancel [08:05] forcex: lulz, #blackbuntu, one person there [08:05] recognosco: Please, I am at hyperbole overload here. [08:05] truepurple, you could do as Recognosco suggests... make your own OS. Call it "Trubuntu" and offer a support channel. [08:05] See you in a few years. [08:05] Yep seperate web site and all. Just can't find the channel yet. Playing to much. lol [08:05] xD [08:06] xD [08:06] forcex: yeah, that's actually the support channel [08:06] recognosco, (then we all find out "trubuntu" is just Ubuntu with a different Gnome theme.) [08:07] (because he blew his whole budget on sandwiches.) [08:07] k1rk: at least put something decent on it, like E17 [08:07] but it would have it's replacent for gcc [08:07] replacement* [08:07] i need sleep [08:08] in soviet russia, sleep needs you! [08:08] I need to get up in 6 hours because I need to go somewhere... [08:08] So I'd better go too. [08:08] Its weird though, I have a 8gb flash drive partitioned as one, and its fat32. One of you said you can't get above 4gb with fat32? [08:08] yea but ist very new so most the ppl out there are probably doing what I am with it right now. [08:09] the VNC viewer on it is very adaptable and thats been a lot of fun on local networks. [08:09] hey [08:09] truepurple, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT_32#FAT32 [08:09] fat32 supports upto 2TB [08:09] truepurple: fat32 has a filesize limit of 4gb, partitions can be up to 8TB === Guest59599 is now known as LjL-Temp [08:09] how is going there [08:10] 8TB is it now? wow [08:10] still thoought 2TB === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest18344 [08:10] Good night folks. [08:10] GN Kirk [08:10] gnight [08:11] GN [08:11] recognosco: 2^43 Bytes [08:11] Hi. Am looking for the kind like cron job tool that can schedule something to run for example now+1 min. The command is only two letter. What is it? [08:11] llutz_: i just read, with 64k clusters [08:11] Blinkiz: at [08:11] forcex: yeah, I know how that goes, it's always chugging away slowly at first and then.... wonder why they made that instead of contributing to backtrack [08:11] llutz Oh ok, that is my misunderstanding, thanks [08:11] at... nice [08:11] Blinkiz: no, "nice" is different thing ;) [08:11] k1rk GN, and thanks, and I swear my revenge, all rolled into one [08:12] try puppy linux on your old one if you want. I am running it on a P2 laptop with 128MB ram and it works excellent. [08:12] Blinkiz: at is one way, crontab is another [08:12] i need to get the network manager app back into the top panel....doing the 'notification area', ,,, [08:12] llutz, :) [08:12] truepurple: puppy is good, so is dsl [08:12] fails to acccomplish this [08:13] forcex Maybe eventually when I get my new PC running so I can burn it onto CD for the old PC [08:13] truepurple: willing to bet you could get elivecd to boot as well [08:13] 大家好 [08:13] nice [08:13] !cn | Guest67271 [08:13] Guest67271: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道：打字 /join #ubuntu-cn 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-tw 或者 打字 /join #ubuntu-hk [08:13] vcc00E.0 [08:13] But my main goal is to get my new PC up and running, not get linux on the old one [08:14] truepurple: ah okay, sorry I didn't catch what you said, if you said it, the specs of your new system are [08:14] Anyway, technically this piece of crap is a borrowed PC that needs to eventually be returned to owner [08:14] I didn't say, you wish to know the new PC specs gnea? [08:14] truepurple: sure, if you can avoid the tone of language :) [08:15] And said owner is pretty technophonic [08:15] tone of language? [08:15] well, around here that c-word will raise a few brows... just sayin' [08:15] I meant to type technophobic [08:15] catch does? [08:16] 'piece of c---' [08:16] figured I'd let you know before someone else does :) [08:16] Anyway, briefly, a I5 760 cpu, 8gb 1600 patriot ram, a 2tb HDD, a radeon 6850 [08:17] oh beautiful, except for the video card [08:17] Well I am likely to forget, I don't have the best memory and that is a rather random word to find offensive [08:18] Whats wrong with a radeon 6850, its like maybe 25% slower then the fastest cards on the market for like half the price [08:18] truepurple: this is what's wrong with it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1637644 [08:18] That does not include duel cards of course [08:19] if you want a sure thing, nvidia or intel, but I would lean toward nvidia [08:19] I was told before that AMD has more linux support then Nvidia [08:19] truepurple: and you believed it without checking? [08:19] and intel doesn't really make video cards [08:20] It was a mute point anyway, since I had already bought the card [08:20] actually, intel makes the GPU's, so yes, they actually make the video cards and produce the drivers for them [08:20] how can i make it so when i 'x' the xchat window, it goes to tray? [08:20] IGP don't count [08:20] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [08:20] ^^^ what's on my EEEpc [08:21] works like a champ [08:21] Few IGP can even hold a candle to even the lowest descreate card [08:21] and the driver? i915 [08:21] Still going to be blown away by a good descreate card gnea [08:21] truepurple: tell you what: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/cs-011594.htm [08:22] " except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus" [08:22] Anyway, verify how? Whats your proof that that nvadia has better linux support then AMD? [08:22] Wow paste fail [08:22] Anyway [08:23] as far as im concerned a smart user doesnt need an antivirus running in the background constantly [08:23] gnea loading page anyway, but intels own website doesn't count as proof for their own product for anything [08:23] Even in windoze [08:23] truepurple: less trouble getting nvidia-cards running than ati/amd. read here for a while to check [08:23] I havent been infected for a good six years not running one =/ [08:23] You don't look to the manufacturer for benchmarks and performance for X product [08:23] truepurple: oh, I've been using nvidia for years, the nvidia support has been a part of Ubuntu since its inception. Nvidia has provided excellent support, albeit not 100% open source, for years now. never had a problem getting 3D working. [08:24] truepurple: well, coming from someone that's still running a system like yours, I'd expect such an attitude. :) [08:24] truepurple: I wasn't pasting that intel site for benchmarks/performance, I was pasting it for the source of the drivers. [08:24] What does what system I have have to do with trusting or not trusting manufacturers to be completely frank about their own product? [08:25] truepurple: are you in IT? [08:25] No [08:25] truepurple: k, what do you do for a living? [08:25] Why do you ask? [08:26] trying to figure out why you make such broad ascertians, I'd like to know how you intend to backup what you claim [08:27] Its more like common sense, trusting the fox to guard the hen house just doesn't work out most all of the time === Termana_ is now known as Termana [08:28] Gnea: Does working for geek squad make you leet? [08:28] as I said, I've been using Ubuntu for years, I've also spent time in IT working with linux/bsd/windows (both desktop and server on all flavors mentioned), so when it comes down to 'common sense', I'm quite sure I've go tit [08:28] Trusting companies looking to sell product to be frank about X product is the same thing [08:28] MaslowK: no it makes you a tool [08:28] are .deb files self-contained so i could open one up and see how its done, or do i need to look for source .deb's like with rpm? just trying to get started [08:28] Exactly [08:28] tit? [08:29] MaslowK: funny, I never worked for them or any retail end [08:29] oh, got it [08:29] right. [08:29] typo, my mistake [08:29] moving on [08:29] I'll guarantee I know more about computers in general than 90% of geeksquad members. [08:29] Hey I have a question about Docky, anybody get it to auto hide your Open windows? [08:29] LOL most people in here do [08:30] Well if you think the best way to find out about the positive and negative aspects of a product, is to ask the people who manfucturer it, or look to their webpages that are often akin to marketing, I would say you lack common sense. [08:30] * Gnea hasn't used docky [08:30] truepurple: I didn't say that that was my method. [08:30] Just pisses me off I cant even get a part time job at walmart, yet jackasses can work for geeksquad by being all "yeh dawg i n dem puters n all dem good game hardware man dawg" [08:30] but you're free to believe what you want to believe, even if it's wrong. [08:30] sorry, if I apt-get install phpmyadmin, where is it locate ? I could not found it in /var/www [08:31] Is there a mirror of http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ somewhere?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [08:31] Yes, I saw that [08:32] truepurple: all I'm saying is, that video card you mentioned doesn't have the backing by ATI that someone 'said' it would have, at least not yet.

[10:10] wonderwal: ^^^ [10:10] si4re: i once managed to solve something like that by making symlinks... but maybe that's a bit stupid way to fix it [10:10] thanks! [10:10] Gnea I didn't see that in the information on the unetbootin page, where do I read that? [10:11] truepurple: fat16 has a 2/4GB partitionsize-limit, check twice if that will work with your 8gb-stick [10:11] truepurple: I went through this about a month ago - just reformat it to FAT16 === Guest66142 is now known as LjL-Temp [10:11] llutz_: he's trying to use the stick as a livecd === LjL-Temp is now known as Guest9151 [10:11] doesn't matter the drive space, it simply will not boot with FAT32, end of story [10:11] hi, Is there an easy way to import thunderbird accounts into kmail or would i have to set them all up manully [10:12] halvor thanks for answer [10:12] hi all, I have ubuntu without GUY, before login ubuntu shows me some info like "Ubuntu 10.10 ecc" how can I change them? thanks!

[10:12] Im searching, but so far I havent come up with anything [10:13] truepurple: part of asking for help in here is trusting the information that we tell you [10:13] /usr/lib/libopensync-xml.so.0: undefined symbol: xmlStrcmp [10:13] whyyyy?????! :S [10:14] Gnea: Anyway the page that explains the fat16 thing might also explain other things I need to know [10:14] truepurple: if you feel that I'm possibly BSing you, please, feel free to search throughout our logged channel archives: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [10:15] I meant webpage, my PC cant handle immense sized chat logs, and it would take a real long time for me to find it anyway [10:16] Is there another installer that downloads and installs at the same time, that can be used with higher then fat16? [10:18] hi people! after some updates and changes, when I restarted my ubuntu, the OS loader page options have duplicated! how to remove these duplicates? [10:18] truepurple: it's just a simple rule of thumb: if you're trying to boot using FAT32 and it won't boot, try FAT16 [10:18] hosein: you've probably installed a new kernel [10:19] hosein: try ubuntu tweak and clean it up [10:19] is there any way to start the telnet daemon manually only? [10:19] truepurple: it's explained here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [10:19] i dont want it to start at startup [10:19] hosein: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ [10:20] hate ubuntu [10:20] Gnea Nothing in that link talks about needing fat16 [10:20] !telnetd [10:21] truepurple: it does: ( NTFS / FAT32 / FAT 16 ) [10:21] !telnet [10:21] telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh [10:21] !ssh [10:21] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [10:22] truepurple: just not in so many words [10:22] Gnea based on that little bit, it basically says fat32, or even NTFS, is fine [10:22] I have looked everywhere. Is it possible to setup a server with LVM+LUKS+RAID in the installer? I tried the alternate but it install xorg at the end of the installation =\ [10:22] truepurple: so try them and see what happens. [10:22] I don't see how it says in any words, fat16 [10:23] truepurple: it says FAT 16, plain as day [10:23] !sshd [10:23] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, sshd is the server (or daemon) of SSH.

" to "start on never" [10:23] truepurple: it's clearly a typo [10:23] czardoz: but indeed, ssh is to be preferred [10:23] truepurple: but then, not really, because when you go to use the format tool in windows, your choices are FAT and FAT32 [10:23] i need it for a home network [10:23] Gnea what is a typo? I see nothing on that page that gets even close to what your talking about [10:24] truepurple: then you've obviously not reading the whole thing. [10:24] truepurple: try doing a simple text search (ctrl+f) for "FAT 16" [10:24] I did, its only one spot [10:24] czardoz: theres nothing you can't do with telnet which isn't be done with ssh (+ other benefits). check if you could switch to it [10:24] now you'r ecatching on [10:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick ? [10:25] Yeah and that one spot is nothing like what your talking about gnea [10:25] halvor: Thanks,I downloaded it. but I have another problem too! when I run update manager after getting my pass, this error occurred:The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. [10:25] even when i run The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources... [10:25] truepurple: yes. now, if you're done wasting time, why don't you actually try formatting it and booting it? [10:25] hosein: some keys are missing [10:25] I saw that:The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources. [10:25] sorry:dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege [10:26] hosein: if you use ubuntu tweak too update your system you shouldn't really pay attention to that error [10:26] hosein: try sudo [10:26] any prebuild-ubuntu-kernels < 2.6.38 with the cgroups-patch? [10:26] Gnea I can't try it out till I finish assembling my PC === Guest95972 is now known as ogra [10:30] Gnea You know of any installer I could use with my USB flash drive that downloads and instlls at the same time, like unetbootin, but uses better then fat16? [10:30] llutz, actually, i want to be able to use telnet with windows computers [10:31] and windows requires installation of 3rd party apps [10:31] czardoz: why? :) theres putty for win (ssh-client) too [10:31] Wow, 1483people and 1 op [10:31] truepurple: I tend to work with practical, not theoretical. unetbootin has the ability to use ISO files, and no, unetbootin is the ONLY app that will download it for you. [10:31] it has to be installed externally [10:31] czardoz: true, it doesn't come with it by default :( [10:31] thats exactly the problem [10:32] Darn it [10:32] halvor: Now I am running tweak. how to clean up them? [10:32] if i use telnet, i'll be able to use it from anywhere [10:32] I broke windows Bootup and killed off Wubi in the proffers [10:32] Any suggestions? [10:32] hosein: package cleaner or something [10:32] czardoz: you dont need to install putty, you just download it and run it. [10:32] czardoz: so try to edit /etc/init/telnet and modify "start on ... " to "start on never" [10:33] the 80's called; they want they telnet back ( and the 9600 bps modem too ) :) [10:33] hosein: and there you'll find a button "remove kernel" [10:33] their* [10:33] hosein: but don't go berzerk :) remove the oldest one first [10:33] erUSUL: 300bd accoustic-coupler [10:33] czardoz: yes, but you will also be using a protocol that transfers the password (and everything else) in plaintext. You can do whatever you want, but nobody is going to recommend telnet these days. [10:33] hosein: then reboot... and you should see one option less on the grub screen [10:34] :) === marcelo is now known as Guest40613 [10:34] Pumpkin-, i see waht you mean [10:34] *what [10:34] if you really want to use telnet, and not be horribly insecure, I'd recommend you looked into some kind of one time password system [10:34] Gnea Oh, also almost all the free space is gone from my main drive, like the ISO file is being stored there or something, whats up with that? [10:34] theres telnet/ssl [10:34] however, there is no sensitive data or anything on my computer [10:34] llutz, that file doesnt exist [10:34] or ipsec, or ssl'd telnet, but I'm sure these are all a lot more complicated than using putty :) [10:35] truepurple: well, heh, where else is unetbootin going to store a file that it just downloaded? it doesn't go directly to the usb drive... [10:35] czardoz: ls -l /etc/init.d/telnetd [10:36] telnetd runs through inetd [10:36] so that file too does not exist :( [10:37] !inetd [10:37] halvor: there is 3 kernel packages: I think linux-image-2..-generic is installed by update manager recently. [10:37] czardoz: inetd... thats why. so you have to check /etc/inetd.conf [10:38] . [10:38] hello. I'm having a pretty strange font problem on opera. It just happens on facebook headings. Here: http://imagebin.org/137503. Opera 10.62 on Ubuntu 10.10. Is this the right place to ask ? [10:38] now can I clean the first: linux-headers-2...-22 ? [10:38] can you tell what line i should edit? [10:38] gnea no? Well how do I clear out that space now then? And could it have failed because of the lack of space on my main drive? [10:39] czardoz: no idea how to disable that via inetd to start in manually. idea: write to inetd.confs and switch them using a short wrapper-script [10:39] anybody there ? [10:39] hi [10:39] czardoz: it should contain something like: telnet stream tcp nowait .... [10:39] it does indeed [10:39] truepurple: it's entirely possible. you could start by doing a disk cleanup [10:39] i should comment it ? [10:40] czardoz: to disable it, yes. then restart inetd [10:40] ok [10:40] thanks =) [10:40] Gnea: so it might work with fat32? or you still feel sure that I need fat16? [10:40] but i will be able to start it manually? [10:40] truepurple: oh, I know for a fact it'll work with FAT16, but you're welcome to try FAT32, it's your system 'n all... [10:41] using " /usr/sbin/in.telnetd " ?? [10:41] gnea: Do you know for a fact that it won't work with fat32? [10:42] czardoz: i'm not sure if telnetd runs in daemon-mode, you'd check google for it [10:42] truepurple: If you'd been paying attention to what I said before, you'd know that I do. [10:42] ok, thanks [10:42] how to record desktop with the music you are playing. i am using 'recordmydesktop' [10:43] M-sprite: doesn't it come with a guide? [10:43] czardoz: try "sudo /usr/sbin/in.telnetd &" and "lsof -i :23" [10:43] truepurple: it would keep on booting into the installer, but when it came time to mount the usb as a cdrom, it failed epicly, each and every time. formatted to FAT16, worked like it should. [10:43] Gnea: If I were to use the download then install method, would it still require that space on my main drive as well? [10:44] I have installed a game through wine, and now I want to remove it. But the uninstaller doesn't work, maybe because of space in path. However can I just rip the game out and delete it? [10:44] truepurple: to store the iso, yes. [10:44] it is working, thanks a lot [10:44] mickster04: i surf the guide a little i see sound, but it is a GUI , i use cmd line [10:45] gnea: the ISO would be stored on the flash drive, so what do you mean? [10:45] brorjonas: the game has no uninstaller of its own? [10:45] truepurple: the iso file itself or the installed version of it? [10:45] czardoz: "sudo pkill telnetd" to stop it [10:45] erUSUL, yes it does, but it doesn't work. [10:45] hello everyone [10:45] how are you? [10:45] right-o [10:45] hey guys, how make bootable usb for xp in ubuntu? [10:46] Any program? [10:46] Bruce_Wayne: this is Ubuntu, not Windows, we support Ubuntu here. [10:46] com3, Im fine. breakfast.... [10:46] does anyone have any idea on how to allow ubuntu to be an apple Airplay client [10:46] Gnea: Yeah, I'm using ubuntu.. I want package name FOR ubuntu [10:47] mevvis, bon apetit [10:47] Gnea if I download the ISO file to X partion, then set unetbootin to install it on the USB flash drive, will the ISO and its large size also be created on my main partition? [10:47] Bruce_Wayne, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [10:47] it says for linux [10:47] Basically, will I have nearly 700mb put in 3 different places? [10:48] hosein: remove the older ones [10:48] however it worked when I used a windows ISO [10:48] Even temporarily [10:49] Gnea? [10:49] truepurple: wherever the iso file downloads to is wherever the iso remains, unless it is moved elsewhere. when an iso file is burnt to a cd or dvd, the contents of the iso become available on said medium, so the concept is basically the same when installing the iso to the usb disk (and be patient, it takes time to type this you know) [10:50] Sorry [10:50] how can i update to grub2?when i boot it shows up grub version 1.93,how do i upgrade to second version? === andrea is now known as Guest69561 [10:50] eXpLoD: 1.98 = grub2 [10:50] !help [10:50] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

DOes it go to that date or the date one day before it? I think it's a bug [10:51] So if I couldn't spare the space on my main drive, I could download the file onto a second partition that can spare the space, and it won't need to recreate these files on my main partition for swap files/virtual memory or somethng? [10:51] mine goes to the correct date [10:52] Seperand: are you using evolution mail [10:52] yes [10:52] Seperand: can you go to May and do the same please? [10:53] Seperand: For anything after March I get the previous day when I double click [10:53] went to may 8: works beautifully [10:53] czardoz: Thanks bud.. Will try .. thanks again. :) [10:54] Seperand: I must have found a bug then because mine doesn't [10:54] Seperand: I have many appointments in May and maybe a slightly different setup than yours because mine isn't behaving properly [10:55] hi ayone here who can help me with u1sync tool from UbuntuOne package? === MC8|away is now known as MC8 [10:55] simontol, try #ubuntuone [10:55] is there any user differences from running a virtual machine to a hard install [10:55] strange.

[11:25] truepurple: try clearing out your browser's cache [11:26] that should free up enough space so that your system won't croak [11:26] Odaym: you have tasksel program to install "server roles" metapackages [11:26] But it wasnt downloaded by my browser, and my browser cache is nearly empty as it is [11:27] truepurple: THINK: clearing your cache NOW and then rebooting before you find the ISO file means that pagefile won't have a problem [11:27] <_skpl> erUSUL: that worked, i believe, now let's hope the build phase works. :) [11:28] Gnea what is your logic there? If I don't find the ISO before rebooting, I might not have enough virtual memory space to reboot [11:28] truepurple: I.. just explained it. it's clear as day, it doesn't get any simpler than that. [11:29] truepurple: don't you know what a pagefile is?

I would like to create a scritp for "switching off" all graphics and services and restarting the windows server with lxdm and lxde, for when we need max performance on the desktop [11:33] <_skpl> erUSUL: i got the same error during teh build phase, any ideas?

I read up but I only found an old driver from 2008 [11:33] gnea I would still like to find this file first, where might it be stored, any idea at all? [11:33] truepurple: now you can devote more time and resources to finding the iso file [11:33] sami___: creative cards can be a pain to get working [11:33] ok [11:33] truepurple: as I said, in some temp directory. you ought to know where those are located, it's your system after all.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [11:35] gnea got some help in windows, you put %temp% in the url window, that brought me there and I found the file [11:35] Does anyone know how can I download just specific data from any site. Like just flash videos or just images or just links, etc ? [11:35] ActionParsnip, How hard? Is it impossible for a linux noob? :p And if you do get it working, do the sound quality enhancing features work or is it just that it is able to play sound [11:35] truepurple: see? [11:35] see what? Its not like you told me that [11:35] ask the right people, get the right answer [11:35] raisin123: right click for pics, select and copy for text? videos are harder [11:36] Ah ok, got your point now [11:36] of course not, I'm not obligated to give anyone help with windows in the Ubuntu help channel [11:36] * Ten-Eight hands Gnea a strong drink [11:36] mickster04: What if there are like a thousand pics or around 20 videos and I said "links" not "text".. [11:36] Well, as far as I knew unetbootin could have put it in its own special folder [11:36] * Gnea accepts [11:37] it could have, but this IS windows we're talking about here, doesn't take a rocket scientist to deduce where windows usually stores things on a temporary basis [11:37] raisin123: sounds like wget is your friend [11:38] what is the recommended method for invoking an editor in a shell script for a user to use (and have them get their prefered editor): Is it use $VISUAL if non-null, then use $EDITOR if non-null, then default to something ? [11:38] but it does take a rocket scientist to figure out how to move those files between a ground computer and a satellite ;) [11:38] mickster04: yes ofcourse. but as I said, how to download specific things via wget is beyond me. [11:39] raisin123: wget webaddress *.png <- something like that in a script and run it [11:40] Pumpkin-: apps like visudo use the EDITOR variable [11:40] mickster04: this will download only files with png format? But how will I know what format is the image file or video file in? [11:40] gnea I think that would require more of a computer scientist or a software scientist. [11:40] Pumpkin-: you could use: exec $(which $EDITOR) I think [11:40] raisin123: technically you should ask the webmaster for permission, If theygive it it would be easier for them to zip up the files for you [11:40] aha, I should see what visudo does. Good idea :) === Prillicy_ is now known as Prillicy [11:41] Pumpkin-: someone with better bash-fu than me will surely correct it ;) [11:41] Pumpkin-: visudo edits the sudoers file to edit what can and cannot use sudo and whom [11:41] yeah, I know what the command does. I mean what it does in terms of how it selects the editor. [11:42] truepurple: no, trust me, it takes a rocket scientist to make sure that the satellite gets on a path so that it doesn't burn up in the atmosphere [11:42] mickster04_: noone has the time or the energy for individual request man but i assure you it's completely permitted. I am not some rocket scientist afterall... Just another linux noob. [11:42] I have a remote server, that I can ssh into... but atm I can't use rdesktop to get in... that only works for a few days after I reboot the server... I can find no errors in the logs, on the server... the rdesktop and 'Remote Desktop Viewer' both stop at the line 'sending login info to sesman'... doing a 'sudo service xrdp restart' doesn't fix the problem... what can I do to fix this? [11:42] Gnea you said upload software [11:42] truepurple: without the hardware firmly in place, you can'd upload squat. [11:42] *can't [11:42] i'm running an nginx server on ubuntu. i want to rate limit ip's from making requests to my web server (eg. if a visitor has visited more than 5 times in the past minute, disallow connection or show 404). is it possible to do this with iptables or some other software? [11:42] does anyone know whether apple's Airplay can be enabled in Ubuntu, if yes where can i download the dpkg file? [11:42] thank [11:42] thanks === lexxx is now known as rexxx [11:43] gnea still different issues, anyway a silly and OT thing to discuss, I am going to go for now. thanks for your help [11:43] Gnea: Are you guyz doing something with a satellite? That's so cool!!! [11:43] raisin123: well if you write a script with a couple of wget's in fr the different things, I don't you can download the flash videos directly, they are usually on facebook, and you need to use another service for that [11:43] truepurple: good luck with everything [11:43] raisin123: lol I was just using it as an example [11:43] inktri: not sure on nginx but on apache every file request is going to count in that, so if you have 4 images and a web page, boom, quota hit with one request, as far as the user is concerned. [11:44] com3: http://www.rikez.com/?p=1515 [11:44] com3: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/ubuntu-one-gets-apple-airplay-friendly-stream-from-your-cloud-to-your-stereo/ [11:44] greppy: i just want to prevent bots that are visiting my page 10 times a second [11:44] inktri: you can certainly use iptables to limit the nyumber of SYN's you will accept from an address in a given time period. If that will do what you want nor not I guess depends on if you have persistant HTTP connections or not. [11:44] mickster04_: ok forget about the videos. tell me how to download lots of images from a site. and only images. [11:45] raisin123: well read up on wget [11:45] raisin123: but we actually do use a laptop attached to a radio in the field to track high altitude balloons and later trace their paths in 3D using google earth :) [11:45] mickster04: I mean what I need to write in wget? [11:45] if the bot is making 100 requests in one HTTP connection, that isn't going to help you (but I'd imagine something nginx can do would). [11:45] ActionParnip Thanks! [11:45] mickster04: wow, thanks I guess... [11:45] raisin123: there are manuals and examples, it's pretty useful tool to know about so it may well be worth you getting to know it [11:45] Gnea_: OMFG! Who thought of that!!! [11:46] the bots are making separate GET requests, but many of them at a high rate [11:46] com3: the less you use apple products the better, they are renowned for proprietary stuff which can be hard to incorporate [11:46] m [11:46] mickster04: yeah , I guess so.

[12:54] the ubuntu is not showing on boot menu [12:54] hi [12:54] coz_: no, adding entries to it [12:54] Sry to but in, does anyone know how to fix grub errors? I can boot ubuntu fine but when I try to boot Windows 7 I get a Geom error... [12:54] robbit10, ah mm let me check hold on [12:54] can yuo help me to show the ubuntu on boot menu? === sdx24 is now known as sdx23 [12:55] coz_: okay :) [12:55] ActionParsnip: ?? [12:55] robbit10, the clock applet should call up the calendar to add entries ...yes? [12:55] i try the to restore the grub using the live cd [12:56] coz_: it only calls up the calendar, but doesn't have any options for adding anything [12:56] and tyoe sudo grub on terminal [12:56] MrOne: then I suggest you remove the printer in the printer app under system -> admin, then reboot [12:56] but the output is "command not found" [12:56] robbit10, I am noticing that the clock applet on cairo dock calls it up and entries can be added [12:56] i have a disk drive that is mounted in /media/Media/storage0 but i can't find a fstab entry for it. where else could it be? [12:56] does pidgin have skype? [12:56] memoryleak: the partition is mounted, not the disk [12:56] can anybody help me? [12:57] coz_: Ah. Then at least I now know that it has support for third-party (non-Evolution) apps. I'll search further on my own, thanks for the help! :) [12:57] What's the best IM client supporting multiple protocols? [12:57] robbit10, since cairo dock clock applet does it I am going to assume that other clock applications may do the same [12:57] memoryleak: the path to fstab will be /media/Media/storage0/etc/fstab [12:57] chrome_: there is no single best app for anything [12:57] chrome_: Have a look at either empathy or pidgin [12:57] ok [12:57] !msn | chrome_ [12:57] chrome_: The Instant Messenger Client Pidgin (formerly Gaim) (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pidgin) supports MSN, XMPP (Jabber, GTalk and variants), AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ, YIM, IRC and others.

[13:18] How and when is /etc/systcl.conf read and acted upon during boot up? [13:18] MrOne: is your OS 32bit or 64bit? [13:18] Renfield: some init script calls sysctl -a during boot [13:18] 32bit [13:18] Renfield: your gui network manager will write it at boot [13:18] The reason I ask is because I made some changes there, rebooted, and the changes did not take effect. When I manually pull in the changes using sysctl -p, they do take effect. [13:18] MrOne: makes life easier [13:19] :) [13:19] Renfield: you need to put the DNS serevrs in network manager / wicd for them to stick [13:19] Renfield: when /etc/init.d/procps runs [13:19] erUSUL: Hmm, I did a grep for sysctl in /etc/init.d/* and did not find it.

Anyone have any recommendations? [13:30] and 7 passes of that is enough [13:30] sacarlson yeah its for windows, but im tyring to get my linux laptop to connect to it [13:30] LinoSP|net, Do random fills, before zero fills [13:30] LinoSP|net, and then disassemble the drive, and run a powerful magnet over it a few times, too ;) [13:31] LinoSP|net, zerofill or random fill... doesn't matter. [13:31] Guinness2702, lol [13:31] akagi82_: if your router puts out dhcp then ubuntu will auto connect to it [13:31] Seveas: there is a possibility the random fill will use all 0s [13:31] Guinness2702: good method [13:31] :D [13:31] ActionParsnip, *ggg* [13:31] xD [13:31] i usually use a hammer to wipe my drives [13:31] sacarlson for some reason it isnt connecting, its a problem on the windows side of things [13:32] ActionParsnip, of course. I'm willing to bet a good amount of money that a reasonable random number generator will not though :) [13:32] a warhammer [13:32] rumpe1_, if you're going that far, just melt the damn things [13:32] akagi82_: then your in the wrong place try #windows [13:32] Guinness2702, that's what I did :) [13:32] LinoSP|net: use wipe [13:32] sacarlson asked in windows but no one seemed to answer [13:32] shredded first, then melted at corus [13:32] :) [13:32] !info wipe | LinoSP|net [13:32] LinoSP|net: wipe (source: wipe): Secure file deletion.

Here's my issue once again I am running a Dell Power edge 1850 with a Compaq 19inch S910 monitor, video card is an ATI Radeon 7000-M. It seems to have picked the right driver, but when I change video size to 1600x1200 I can no longer read the display(http://img718.imageshack.us/i/photoqi.jpg/) resolution and sync rates are within spec for the monitor [13:33] Seveas: no, it's beyond *anyone* to recover it [13:33] Seveas: the data is irreversibly gone [13:33] thx for your answers :D [13:34] * LinoSP|net is happy [13:34] gordonjcp: it can be recovered if its 0ed using oscilloscopes and such but uts REALLY slow and REALLY expensive [13:34] gordonjcp, nope. [13:34] ActionParsnip: no, it can't [13:34] i for one think that there is a lot of myth about "what professional data recovery companies can do" ... [13:34] can anyone suggest a download accelerator like internet download manager of windows??? [13:34] gordonjcp, yes it can. [13:34] gordonjcp: I read it in a computer forensics book [13:34] Seveas: really, no it can't [13:34] ActionParsnip, no you can't .... since drives are > 30MB [13:34] ActionParsnip: it used to be possible 20 years ago [13:34] fgfg [13:34] erUSUL, I've had the pleasure of having data recovered that way :) [13:34] ActionParsnip: hard disks used to write actual zeroes and ones, as up or down flips of magnetic domains [13:34] they haven't done that for over a decade though [13:34] raisin123, wget [13:35] Seveas: I'm guessing on an exceptionally old drive, or it wasn't overwritten [13:35] rumpe1_ : wget is just a command line. I want a GUI enabled [13:35] gordonjcp: i think I'll trust a professional data retrieval expert who is published [13:36] ActionParsnip: published how long ago? [13:36] raisin123: your browser is a gui that might work [13:36] I think there is no download accelerator for Ubuntu like IDM for windows. I noticed download speed increased with IDM in windows. [13:36] ActionParsnip: there's an excellent chance I wrote the DSP code that recovers data from the drive you're using now [13:36] ActionParsnip, [citation needed] [13:36] ActionParsnip: ask who you like [13:36] Seveas: well a drive failing becouse the moter burned out or the read head is broken may not damage/touch the platter too much. in such situation the data recovery can help. but a single zero/urandom pass in a helthy drive is enough this days imho ... [13:37] motor* [13:37] sacarlson: I have mozilla and the download manager it has doesnot support resumable option everytime and also It downloads at a lesser speed. :( [13:37] erUSUL: yeah, if the drive won't even spin up or detect, you can really only smash it === bryan is now known as Guest54068 [13:37] more than one wipe is just voodoo :> [13:37] gordonjcp: lets stick to the topic but not sure how long [13:37] hallo... :D [13:37] if i have a regular Ubuntu, just a desktop edition [13:37] ActionParsnip: yeah, this is more for -ot ;-) [13:37] sacarlson: something like IDM or DAP etc would do the trick :P [13:37] can i turn it into one of the Server line machines simply through certain packages? [13:37] hi ncxcude [13:38] raisin123: fatrat, multiget, uget etc [13:38] raisin123: flashgot might be an option [13:38] ActionParsnip: in all seriousness, you could do that with MFM/RLL drives but modern drives use something more like QAM to write data to the disks, so if you see a faint "afterimage" of the old data beside the written track you can't tell what it was [13:38] Odaym, yes, just install the software you want. There's nothing special about server edition except for the package selection [13:38] alright [13:38] can i know what these are?

[13:38] aaaaaaaa [13:39] ActionParsnip: the "real" data is (for example) a value from 0 to 7 - how do you tell whether the "old" data is a loud remnant of a 2, or a faint remnant of a 6? [13:39] Odaym, again, samba :) [13:39] to be able to cut off permission from here, allow there, etc.. [13:39] schnuffle: does flasgot has the ability of resuming paused downloads? [13:39] ok, and there's on the net ways to configure samba like i want of course?

[14:00] longrifle0x: thats a redhat kernel [14:00] I'm having trouble loading Ubuntu Netbook Remix from a USB drive, I think the problem is that the BIOS does not recognize the thumbdrive as a boot device. I've used the "universal usb installer" (Windows) to create the USB drive. [14:00] how can i make gdm autostart ratpoison [14:00] afaics [14:00] longrifle0x: http://homerepair.about.com/od/toolsmaterialsyouneed/a/h2use_hacksaw.htm [14:00] But I don't know how to create the USB drive in another way.. [14:00] irong33k: you can add it in /etc/rc.local if it needs running as root [14:01] Or why the universal usb installer does not create a working drive [14:01] what's the package responsible for the firefox locales? [14:01] Hello guys, i have some problems after installing ubuntu on my desktop. Now a majority of this problem revolves around windows 7 and i do realize this is a ubuntu channel - but the windows channel is of no help to me and i figured people here surely do dual boots so someone might be able to give me some help. [14:01] My windows 7, as a result of all of this, became unable to standby. It shuts off the screens and then just lights up again at the login screen without ever actually going into any hardware standby. Whats wrong? and on top of that my ubuntu is now unusable because i installed nvidia drivers manually and X refuses to start on the account that my nvidia kernel module mismatches the installed... [14:01] ...driver no matter how many times i run the .run installer. Any ideas? i probably need to clean out the nvidia drivers or something but specifics would be great, Thank you in advance. [14:01] Viliny: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:01] delicious: are you using an ISO? [14:02] ActionParsnip: yes, the netbook 10.10 iso [14:02] ActionParsnip, not necessarily root..its kind of dangerous dont you think? [14:02] delicious: did you MD5 test the ISO? [14:02] ActionParsnip: nope [14:02] irong33k: wasnt sure what it needed [14:02] brasil [14:02] Hey folks.. I've downloaded Gnome3 LiveCD. Now, is there how to install im my Ubuntu 10.04, if I want? [14:02] delicious: then how do you know it is consistant and complete? [14:02] ActionParsnip: but that problem would pop up after booting, right? [14:03] ActionParsnip: now the device does not show itself as bootable [14:03] delicious: maybe, depends where the corruption is, if there is any [14:03] ActionParsnip, is there a config for gdm like slim , maybe configure it to start another window manager [14:03] ActionParsnip: yeah but it's allready out with as a dist-upgrade [14:03] delicious: if the bot info is damaged, it wont boot [14:03] ActionParsnip: ah ok, I'll try the MD5 check, tia! [14:03] delicious: why don't you check your ISO, so you know if its the image at fault? [14:04] helo === zay is now known as winendah [14:04] irong33k: you choose the window manager (xsession) at the gdm login window. There's a dropdown menu there [14:04] delicious: please MD5 test in future too, if you do it before you use it, you will speed things along [14:04] Seveas, i install OpenSSH client on my clients, and OpenSSH server on my server? [14:04] Odaym, that sounds reasonable [14:04] and have the client try to connect with the server through "scp"? [14:04] ActionParsnip: will do, thanks for the tip [14:05] Odaym, scp, ssh, rsync... depends on what you want to do [14:05] jrib, thanks for your help, lemme check it out.... [14:06] sudo chmod a-w /etc/ssh/sshd_config.original [14:06] this means remove write access to this file from everyone? [14:06] yes [14:06] Odaym: sudo chmod 644 file [14:07] but doesnt the one above mean what i said it means? [14:07] I have server how I can make dosser? [14:07] Odaym, it does, and what llutz said means something completely different [14:07] i think the combination of letters and dash directives is easier than numbers [14:08] hi, there, I am creating a system which needs to read data from configuration files. So I need to store this data into C structures . Is there any easy way to do this, rather than writing C programs to read the data and enter into C structures [14:08] ? [14:08] longrifle0x, if you didn't realise by now, we don't generally help people attack others. You're better off somewhere else. [14:08] Odaym: my experience here was, most guys messed up permissions when using a-w g+w u+r etc.pp. so the octal numbers are safer [14:09] but Seveas said that what you said was completely different [14:09] how do you plead? [14:09] Thanks for the help ActionParsnip [14:09] ashish, there are parsing libraries for all kinds of config formats [14:09] Odaym: it just sets rw-r--r-- [14:09] llutz, as you've just demonstrated, numbers aren't safer [14:09] Well I'm having a problem. Basically I've added some configuration to /etc/sysctl.conf, and the kernel parameters are not getting set on boot up. When I manually run sysctl -p, my configuration parameters are set. [14:09] guys (and girls), if irong33k comes back saying ratpoison isn't in the gdm options, point him to bug #69155 (there's a workaround there). I have to step out. Thanks [14:09] a-w and 0644 are completely different actions [14:10] k jrib [14:10] is it possible to even remove write permissions from root? [14:10] Seveas: i took the default of sshd_config, sry [14:10] Odaym, yes, but it has no effext [14:10] is that why he kept the w in the first section? rw-r--r-- [14:10] Odaym: sure but root can get the perms back [14:10] alguien in spanish?

Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [14:10] I see that sysctl -p is executed from the procps upstart script. When I run initctl list, procps is in the state stop/waiting, not sure if that is a problem. [14:10] thats Seveas, but can u gimme some tutorials ? [14:11] Renfield, it is not a problem as procps is not a daemon [14:11] join#ubuntu-es [14:11] Seveas: How do I prove that procps is or isn't being executed on boot up? [14:11] neogarde, escribe: /join #ubuntu-es [14:11] i have a personal web server @ home how do i add to google top list [14:12] I can't seem to update certain packages in the Update Manager. They give this error: "The action would require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources." This halts any other updates (unchecking the problem packages allows the update) [14:12] based on ubuntu 10.04 [14:12] Renfield, change your sysctl.conf, reboot, see it it's applied [14:12] Seveas: It's not applied. [14:12] JAGFin1: can you give the output of: [14:12] JAGFin1: sudo apt-get update [14:12] Also, the problem packages are firefox-4.0 firefox-4.0-core xulrunner-1.9.2 [14:12] ActionParsnip: one sec [14:12] Renfield, then find out where upstart logs what it does [14:12] JAGFin1: thanks :) use a pastebin [14:12] Seveas: I just asked and you said /dev/null! [14:13] did someone install gnome 3 on Ubuntu LTS? [14:13] JAGFin1: also pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get upgrade [14:13] resolution is always 1280*1024 aftern reboot even though i have set res to 1600x1200 in ati control panel and xorg.conf (using ati fglrx drivers) [14:13] Renfield, ah, then I misunderstood your questions. upstart itself probably logs its actions somewhere.

[14:15] Odaym, yes :) [14:16] seriously? [14:16] Or that regular harddrives have plates spinning [14:16] no [14:16] haha [14:16] ;) [14:16] good [14:16] Odaym, SSD is basically a big flash drive, so no rotating disks [14:16] oh i see [14:16] Odaym: hard drive disk, HDD === Anthraxium is now known as Anthraxium|Detac [14:16] I installed my ubuntu on a ssd, the bios post screen takes longer than ubuntu to boot [14:16] JAGFin1: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 610C90B170C398A2; sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com EF4186FE247510BE [14:16] ActionParsnip, Hey, I have downloaded Gnome3 LiveCD. is there how to install from it?

Do you know any other reason why my (Asus EEE PC 1201 HA) BIOS won't recognize my USB drive as bootable? [14:22] ActionParsnip: that's the thing, I used add-apt-repository, but it still didn't get the keys [14:22] Odaym: if its usb, they are cheap. You can swap one with a windows buddy with one which works nice in linux [14:22] ActionParsnip: (iso is consistent...) [14:23] delicious: do you have the latest bios? [14:23] JAGFin1: very odd [14:23] i already have this one [14:23] ActionParsnip: I'll check that [14:23] and there's the key to make it work [14:23] so that's what i'll try first === Prillicy_ is now known as Prillicy [14:26] hi guys i have installed natty on my laptop and it stoped loading it just hangs in the end [14:27] At the end of what?

[14:50] never mind... retrying seemed to work [14:50] Powderking, "No such device" means you don't have the relevant sensor. [14:51] english usa [14:51] :/ [14:51] AbhijiT, english usa [14:51] hmm [14:52] Seveas: That means sensors-detect doesn't work propperly? Or how can I find the correct sensor? [14:52] dustin, what you actually trying to do? and whats going wrong? the link you game me are just screenshot. what you wanted to do with those screenshots? [14:52] i installed xsensors but the temperature displayed remains same all the time even when heavy code is running. is there a problem?

[15:25] BiPolah: now i do... [15:25] thanks [15:25] llutz: Too sl build file listoto w [15:26] neorouter: command not found [15:26] en1gma, also this [15:26] http://i.imgur.com/AG48K.jpg [15:26] llutz: too slow [15:26] to build file list [15:26] quidnunc: if you want to clone a partition you can use dd or partimage [15:26] quidnunc: (cd /; tar -cf - . ) | (cd /mnt; tar -xvf -) [15:26] dustin, ok search for the file nrclient using file search it will giveyou locatin run that locatioon from terminal [15:26] quidnunc: target-fs mouted on /mnt [15:26] mounted* [15:26] quidnunc, rsync 3 no longer has that problem [15:27] rghose, schnuffle : Thought cp did not preserve everything and didn't handle special files correctly. thought I need cpio [15:27] ty vjnvfjhbbj ghnb . jbb [15:27] ActionParsnip: I want the filesystem directly [15:27] quidnunc: there's the -a option [15:27] nothing [15:27] dustin, then search for neorouter [15:27] rsync -avx [15:28] Seveas: It doesn't build a file list? [15:28] quidnunc, it does, but doesn't wait for that to finish before transferring files [15:28] rsync -avx / /mnt [15:28] exact copy of your root filesystem (-x means stay on one filesystem) [15:28] quidnunc: if it's a one time copy, cp is alright, if you do it more often rsny is the way to go [15:29] quidnunc: then do it in live cd with cp, or dd on unmounted partitions [15:29] Seveas: thanks [15:29] Is there a way to view the parameters that a Linux kernel was booted up with? [15:29] Renfield: cat /proc/cmdline [15:29] llutz: Thanks! [15:30] Renfield: you set them in /etc/default/grub the default is: quiet splash [15:30] ActionParsnip: Except I can't because this is a virtual server hosted by RackSpace. [15:30] Renfield, virtual servers also have /boot/grub [15:31] Seveas: Not this one. /boot is empty, and the support guy said it should be. [15:31] found something [15:31] BiPolah, I'm using Buffalo WLI-UC-G300N (rt2000) and it's using 2.4GHz band. In Windows I had to enable this 40MHz mode and I would get 270Mbps. Currently in Ubuntu I'm only getting 54 mbps [15:31] ah, weird kind of virtual box then [15:31] "some" have [15:31] vps != virtualbox [15:31] but its windows version [15:31] I'm not sure what they are running for a VM. [15:31] llutz, note that I did not say virtualbox... [15:32] Renfield, you can probably find out with 'sudo dmidecode' [15:33] Seveas: /dev/mem: mmap: Bad address === AbhijiT is now known as Guest90948 === AbhijiT_ is now known as AbhiJiT [15:33] Renfield, oh my, it's really special :) [15:33] Renfield: i guess, but you may still need boot options of your own :) [15:33] Heh, yea I'm beginning to learn this. [15:33] !ping [15:33] ping-pong, a fun game for all the family [15:34] Renfield: if you read the hardware list it should give it away [15:34] ActionParsnip: They have this pv-grub thing that I could use to run my own custom kernel. I don't think I need this just yet. [15:34] Renfield: personally I'm guessing its vmware on a nice ESX box [15:34] ActionParsnip, nope, vmware guests actually have a bootloader and usable /dev/mem [15:34] pv-grub = xen [15:34] When I install ubuntu server 10.10 from usb...it keeps asking for cd information....how can I install it from usb. (Made a bootable USB stick with the utility) === agus_ is now known as petanilinux [15:35] wulfy, ah, mystery solved! [15:35] dustin, what happen? [15:35] AbhiJiT, huy this is dustin [15:35] jordan_, :o [15:35] Renfield, pv grub = xen in which you can log into there control panel and pass custom commands to the startup [15:35] jordan_, so what happen? [15:35] Oh, thanks. I'm new to virtual machines. [15:36] anyone? :( [15:36] Renfield, no worrys :) im head sys admin for a vps hosting company lol [15:36] wulfy, what's your favorite vps? [15:36] Wulfy: Could you give me a name? I'm looking for decent VPS hosts [15:36] if i do "locate samba" and get a long list of files, does that necessarily mean that i have samba installed? [15:36] Seveas, for everytday stuff the openvz platform does the job nicely [15:37] how would you make it so that shutting down gdm doesn't shut down network-manager? [15:37] Odaym:easy check with "apt-cache policy samba" [15:37] Seveas, for heavy duty stuff goo xen the rest ive yet to try (i.e vmware kvm) [15:37] ah, it doesnt exist [15:37] just tried typing "samba" [15:37] Greetings. [15:37] Odaym: no, that doesn't really tell you. You want apt-cache policy samba most likely [15:37] it says installed [15:37] BiPolah, sure lookup Bigbrainhost [15:37] im gangsta [15:37] hi all. i got a problem with my desktop. [15:37] but when i type "samba" i get The program 'samba' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [15:37] sudo apt-get install samba4 [15:38] Thanks Wulfy [15:38] that samba daemon is called smbd [15:38] how does that make sense [15:38] AbhiJiT, noting [15:38] the even [15:38] as wulfy I'm in charge of virtualization: openvz is a very good choice for linux only, ESX is not bad vmware server as memory leaks under linux, and for Xen and KVM I'm just testing [15:38] just nothin [15:38] BiPolah, I'm using Buffalo WLI-UC-G300N (rt2000) and it's using 2.4GHz band. In Windows I had to enable this 40MHz mode and I would get 270Mbps. Currently in Ubuntu I'm only getting 54 mbps [15:38] <17SAAXLBK> I have this: usbserial /dev/ttyUSB 188 0-253 serial but I neeed to change driver to pl2303, how can I achieve this? [15:38] wulfy: The RackSpace web page for administering the virtual servers doesn't appear to have any options like what you speak of. I have: console, reboot, rescue, rebuild, reset password, and delete. [15:38] jordan_, why not you contact the software maker? [15:38] When I install ubuntu server 10.10 from usb...it keeps asking for cd information....how can I install it from usb. (Made a bootable USB stick with the utility) [15:38] the one i posted about is the samba daemon, Pumpkin- ? [15:38] the samba4? [15:38] Divine: what is the excat question? [15:39] schnuffle, i really like xen seems to get the job done least amount of fuss combine with the solusvm control panel and your good to go, a lot of cleints like it [15:39] 17SAAXLBK: still using the old nokia 3100 , 6100 etc? [15:39] samiABC: I've no idea what it means by "40MHz mode". No wireless protocol uses 40MHz [15:39] Renfield, ahhh seems they may be using a custom cp [15:39] Yea, probably. [15:39] shuffle when I installed ubuntu desktop...it all worked at once....the install was ok [15:39] now I'm getting asked for a cd [15:39] <17SAAXLBK> pksadiq: No, it’s for KMV switch [15:39] while I'm installing from usb [15:39] And it won't let me install [15:39] Seveas: maybe but the video card, sound card etc will be virtualized so will be a telltale of what virtualization is being used [15:40] 17SAAXLBK: whats KMV? [15:40] anybody? [15:40] wulfy: I'm more into KVM for the moment, cause the patches are already integrated in the kernel and my server OS is Centos [15:40] how would you make it so that shutting down gdm doesn't shut down network-manager?

[15:52] wulfy: Not sure actually. I didn't install it. It is running as a server as opposed to a workstation. [15:52] ex0r: sudo apt-get purge apache2 [15:52] can someone help me install java the sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk isnt working [15:52] Renfield, whats the end result your trying to achive? [15:52] !java | skutr3 [15:52] skutr3: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases.

[15:53] Get /etc/sysctl.conf loaded at the appropriate time early in the boot process to set the kernel parameters. Turns out that Java listens on IPv6 by default, so I want that turned off before our custom Java server starts. [15:54] ex0r: And that webpage does apply to 10.10 as well === ubuntu_ is now known as Saik [15:54] Renfield, and your supporting ipv6 connections coming in or you only aiming for ipv4? === wulfy is now known as Wulfy === krookeye is now known as squinteye [15:55] Im invinsible I am on a sexy train with wifi in 6 couches! [15:55] Wulfy: Should only be IPv4. Honestly, the Java server really only needs to listen on the lo interface. I know we don't need IPv6 yet, so as a security measure I wish to turn it off. === squinteye is now known as krookeye [15:55] :/ [15:56] Renfield, indeed if there is no need for ipv6 and you wish to make it listen to only ipv4 you wouldnt have to pass any commands to the kernel at startup? [15:56] hey guys. anyone know if the x86 memory test will work on more than 4gb of memory? [15:56] hmm, where does php5 get installed from synaptic manager ? [15:56] ex0r: for apache or for cli? [15:57] Wulfy: Well, IPv6 is on when I boot up the system. [15:57] Renfield, ok if we drop ipv6 then the issue should resolve itself? [15:57] ex0r: libapache2-mod-php5 [15:57] hey guys. anyone know if the x86 memory test will work on more than 4gb of memory? [15:57] Well, getting IPv6 turned off is my issue. [15:57] wonderworld, for apache. I can't find the apache error log, and the php configuration log so I can fix the install [15:58] i set up OpenSSH-Server on my Ubuntu server and OpenSSH-client on my Ubuntu client [15:58] they are both connected to a switch [15:58] it's libapache2-mod-php5 as schnuffle said [15:58] thats installed already [15:58] now from the client im trying to do "ssh Oday@Hive696-Server" [15:58] apache error log should be /var/log/apache2/error.log [15:58] i get ssh: connect to host Hive696-Server port 22: No route to host [15:58] ex0r: a lamp system is installed with: aptitude install apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin [15:58] i know there's something horribly wrong, but what is it [15:59] ex0r: then set the mysql root password with sudo mysqladmin -p [15:59] Odaym: try just the ip of your host oday@192.168.2.xxx [15:59] ok [15:59] Odaym: check network-settings, same subnet? [15:59] Odaym, might be wrong but if theres no dns server on the network then your system wouldnt know the name of the remote host? [15:59] schnuffle, yes I know that, but it's still giving problems installing [16:00] ex0r: what is going wrong? [16:00] ex0r: then paste the errors [16:00] Renfield, did you get that /msg ? [16:00] there is a configration error with apache when loading up phpmyadmin [16:00] Wulfy: Odaym: ya that's my guess his dns isn't resolve for that name from there [16:00] Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly. [16:00] Wulfy: Yes, did you get my responses? [16:00] connection refused now [16:00] the error in error.log says # is depreccated [16:00] the username was wrong [16:00] hey guys. anyone know if the x86 memory test will work on more than 4gb of memory? [16:00] but now that i got it right, connection refused [16:01] . [16:01] i set up the pass for OpenSSH for a specific one that i chose [16:01] sorry just migrated clients not used to xchat yet Renfield [16:01] how do i get to where i have to enter the password [16:01] maybe my firewall is blocking the connection? on the server? [16:01] Odaym: firewalled also? you coming from wan to a lan? [16:01] there isnt a firewall on the server, no [16:01] hiii [16:02] Odaym, are to trying to ssh inside a subnet? [16:02] 0daym: can you ping the server? [16:02] Renfield, if youve disabled ipv6 and rebooted then your java server should only listen on ipv4 (unless its writen its config file and is waiting for ipv6 to come back up) [16:02] Odaym: what are the address of the client and the host? [16:02] yes i can ping [16:02] 0daym: can you ping the hostname as well or the IP only? [16:02] the server is 192.168.1.65 [16:02] Wulfy: The commands to disable IPv6 only last until I reboot. Then it is back on again.

You'll have to do it bit by bit swapping sticks. [16:03] -vvv? [16:03] what is that? [16:03] Putting the commands into /etc/sysctl.conf should cause them to be applied at boot.

[16:03] Odaym: increase verbosity [16:03] ex0r: are there any gd.so.* files in /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs ? [16:03] Saik: Don't know. Give it a try.

[16:05] Saik: You can download a bootable ISO from http://www.memtest.org/ [16:05] brontoeee: : increase verbosity [16:05] Wulfy: This virtual server doesn't have a grub.conf I can get access to and modify. [16:05] oh, ok ty [16:05] still hanging there [16:05] Odaym, the delay or hang is proberbly the sshd system doing a dns lookup? [16:06] i need a DNS on the server yea? [16:06] Odaym, try ssh on the server using 127.0.0.1 [16:06] Odaym, is you are using the IP, no need for DNS [16:06] thx [16:06] ssh oday@127.0.0.1 you mean?

[16:51] tonysan: then the ss connection will closed automatcly after a timeout [16:52] iceroot_: Normally it will, but in my machine it doesn't [16:52] it worked [16:52] Araxis: but if you dont know if the server edition is the correct one for you, its not :) [16:52] i done messed with the rules of some of the firewalls didnt i, schnuffle [16:52] Linda_92, have you configured the /etc.networking/interfaces file?

You can install server services on the desktop OS without any issue [16:53] tonysan: that has nothing to do with ssh [16:53] now i can't connect from the client to the server, but mind you that i am in an SSH connection from the server to the client [16:53] lasse_: oletko suomalainen?

[16:54] should i punge on the server as well? [16:54] Actionpasnip: thats not the issue, I mean when I press the button to start my computer, i see nothing but a blank screen, I cannot select anything. and yes I havea nvdia 470 card in my system. [16:54] czardoz: No I did not touch it yet.. should I edit /etc.networking/interfaces ? [16:54] Odaym: IS it a test setup? [16:54] ok works [16:54] ActionParsnip: The idea is to have my older computer do some light hosting [16:54] punged on the server too [16:54] Araxis: go for it dude, its worth it as the X server chews a lot of cpu compared to the server, plus it makes the OS boot faster without having to load video drivers and such [16:55] hey [16:55] Odaym: the rules come from somewhere, are you the only one using the server [16:55] I AM able to run an SSH on both at the same time [16:55] this accessing that and that accessing this [16:55] Araxis: I do the same, headless transmission / samba / backup server ;) [16:55] yes i am [16:55] i did make a rule on the server [16:55] told you, through Firestarter [16:55] Linda_92, edit the file "/etc/networking/interfaces" the last path I gave was a typo [16:55] Odaym: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

(compiled Gambit C from source and now want to do it via synaptic, want to remove /usr/local/Gambit-C first) [16:55] ? [16:55] ActionParsnip: cool, yeah, Im actually on here through my old pc right now. Remote desktop. But I figured there's gotta be a more efficient way [16:56] Actionpasnip: thats not the issue, I mean when I press the button to start my computer, i see nothing but a blank screen, I cannot select anything. and yes I havea nvdia 470 card in my system.

[17:00] woops i mean ubuntu [17:00] rj_90: Like I said, you need to enter specific modes to do things and various combinations of keys perform different functions. See vi --help or man vi for how to use it [17:00] ActionParsnip, What command do I use to install build essential ? [17:00] klobster: openoffice if you only use writer and install abiword [17:00] you can install "g++" [17:01] Quantum_Ion:g++ should be installed already [17:01] Quantum_Ion: guess [17:01] Give me the exact syntax of how to do it ?

[17:10] not sure what that means phrac [17:11] ookz, you can use the "shared folder" feature on virtualbox [17:11] were you joking? [17:11] I tried gnome-shell.....did not like it.....went back to metacity....but now I cannot see desktop icons or right click on desktop. Have googled but solutions offered do not work. This on Ubuntu 10.04 [17:11] this "scp oday@Hive696:~/file1 ~/Music/" is copying the file1 back to the same machine in "~/Music/" [17:11] Yes and since I'm running macos it mounts to the host os first [17:11] Causes a conflict [17:11] 1 [17:11] and when i say "scp oday@Hive696:~/file1 oday@Hive696-Server:~/Music/" i get aksed for the password of the client and it isnt accepted === jack is now known as Guest50234 [17:12] ookz, you mean shared folders doent work? [17:12] JetBoyJetGirl: the sort command can be used to sort text in files [17:13] The shared folders do work, it's the USB stick mounts to the Host OS. Then I can't get it to mount in VB [17:13] tried rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity but still......no desktop icons or ability to right click make new folder etc. [17:13] evenin all [17:13] JetBoyJetGirt: it basically sorts the info in text files and sends it to standard output [17:13] ookz, where is it mounted in the host OS? [17:13] ookz, dont know if this applies to mac, but you probably need to add yourself to vboxusers group, and then take control of it after you plugged it in, in the guest. [17:13] "/dev/disk1" [17:13] I cannot drag and drop anything to the desktops. Are there nautilus settings I need to restore/reset?? [17:14] ookz, better place to ask is #vbox [17:14] Ok [17:14] thanks [17:14] newbish_kid1: checked dir/file permissions? [17:14] ssh connects without the need to have a physical network connection?

Well my problem is with the flash player, or flash plugin or something to do with videos(on the web pages), whenever I play a video on lets say youtube and then close it, the player window stays in the background and appears on every white surface (codeblocks, in the window I'm writing this message now), now that I think about it, even the screensaver(the matrix one) leaves residue on the screen that. any idea?

[18:59] ginosal: chances are you can also do that with a module parameter, try modinfo on the driver module for your card; then you can just add it in /etc/modprobe.d [18:59] erik__, sounds like a video driver problem. What card do you have? Did you download the restricted drivers (System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers)? [18:59] andycc, why do you think it's a problem with the router or ISP if the previous FreeBSD box didn't have a problem? [19:00] i have nvidia 8600gt [19:00] 17SAAXLBK, 2 step process, backup to local computer, upload or sync to your home server i'd say [19:00] ginosal: but you want get down wifi card or only powermanagmentmode off? [19:00] jobu1342, you yourself said accessing from your own network works, so it's not ufw. So I'm guessing it's either router or ISP. [19:01] andycc, I guess I don't see how the port forwarding could work with the FreeBSD box and not Ubuntu. [19:01] no I just activated the current version in the System->Adminstration->Aditional drivers [19:01] jobu1342, check the router, so that you dont have some sort of mac adress reservations for a server [19:01] Hi good afternoon; [19:01] sorry for who knows how to set up in ubnutu feedingbottle 9.10 [19:01] How do I recursively list all .jpg files via the CLI?

[19:01] <17SAAXLBK> brontoeee: That is not a forwarding of the signal through ssh is it? [19:01] 17SAAXLBK, nope [19:01] exutux: only powermanagement, because it makes my wireless work bad [19:01] Starminn, use find: find . -type f -iname \*.jpg [19:01] Starminn: find /dir -iname '*.jpg', ls -R doesn't work like dir /s :P [19:02] ginosal: sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off [19:02] Im looking for small computers that i can use as a server platform at home, what's the correct name? perhabs "Home Server/NAS Platform" ?

Mine forwards based on IP, which is dynamically allocated, so the settings aren't really permanent. Also, try putting your server on the router's DMZ list, if it supports that.

[19:18] BiPolah: yes.. [19:18] Weird, using Maverick 10.10 and fired up my trusty vmware 7.13. All the vm's work fine. Windows 7 in a vm with tools reinstalled is crashing. Is it just me??

[19:22] I can't even identify my Touchpad :( [19:22] meaning are the commands in /etc/rc.local only ran when logging in, or doing a boot. Are the commands in this file run with all login levels? I believe the default level is 4??? I'm just guessing [19:22] is there any spesific program doing this? [19:22] since upgrading to Ubuntu 10.04, samba shared folders open but show no contents. How can I correct this? [19:22] ActionParsnip: I forgot the command to list my hardware, do u know it? [19:22] Could someone help me with a monitor issue, please?

[19:24] kevdog: cat /etc/rc.local and read comments it explains what it does [19:24] grr [19:24] is there any version of winamp for Lucid ubuntu?? [19:25] induz: use Audacious [19:25] tried through aptitude but no success [19:25] thanks [19:25] induz: try audacious, it's like winamp [19:25] Induz: Winamp is Windows-only, I believe. [19:25] induz: there is no winamp version because it's a window application. use audacious [19:25] winamp3 had a parallel linux build, but thats ancient history [19:25] andycc, it looks like the best I can do is to set up a "NAT Default Host" to point to my server, which I did; however, it didn't affect the ability to reach my server. I wonder - I'm trying to set up port forwarding to a nonstandard https apache setup. Could that have something to do with it? [19:26] wine can run something like winamp ok, though [19:26] the only info about my Touchpad I got from lshal http://paste.pocoo.org/show/337181/ [19:26] ot [19:26] this flash 10.2 problem is annoying me so much :( [19:26] to reenable my Touchpad I must restart the whole system.. it's a pain === ViN86_ is now known as ViN86 [19:26] audacious imo stinks [19:27] schutzstaffel: Only Chromium and Firefox. I have tried changing Compix settings (removing auto-detect refresh rate, set refresh rate to 100 HZ, enabling sync to vblank). Hopefully, that should do it. [19:27] drexl: lshw [19:27] right now i have banshee, VLC, rythambox,juicer, Gtkpod, Exaile player...what is good like winamp and should i get rid of few others?? [19:27] the man tells the doctor "doctor it hurts when I do this"; the doctor says then don't do that... i.e. don't use flash [19:27] Hello everyone, I have a latop with a very new synaptics touchpad, It's very very "cracked out" the mouse moves highly irradically whenever my finger is on it, and also sends about 100 "clicks" a second when moving... I need help configuring it. [19:27] andycc, that doesn't make sense though. If ufw is running, and I block the port, nothing is logged in ufw.log when I attempt to connect. [19:27] go to System -> Prefernces -> Mouse @Gartral [19:27] schutzstaffel: It's still happening. [19:27] anirudhr: i don't have that command [19:28] lev_: I did, none of those settings do what one expects. [19:28] drexl, apt-get install lshw [19:28] Hmm.. [19:28] Induz: It comes down to personal choice. Personally, I think Rhythmbox is pretty good on it's own, it had Last.FM and radio support built in [19:28] Sorry .. that was obvious :) [19:28] anirudhr: ok' [19:28] What kind of laptop are you using? [19:28] I had a lot of issue with my dell as well. [19:28] I have intel classmate pc with 16 GB SSD Storage, can I install linux together with winxp on it? There is already winxp there on fat32 [19:28] lev_: it's fine, I undertand there are some real mindless people in here sometimes! [19:28] induz: unfortunately theres nothing "good" like winamp, i compromised on rhythmbox, it lets you go through artist/genre/whatever in a 3 pane view, and otherwise doesn't try to do too much [19:29] Gifford: Minimum recommended size for an Ubuntu install is 500Mb. A standard Windows XP install will take up 3-5Gb just for the operating system [19:29] induz i think banshee is the best player -- especially the latest version. [19:29] banshee will be the default on natty [19:29] BiPolah: WinXP is already taking 1GB here [19:29] BiPolah: so what do I do? [19:30] ick [19:30] Nice.. i am glad to hear that [19:30] rhythmbox used to be nice.. but banshee has developed a lot stronger.. especially if you use the amazonmp3 store. [19:30] BiPolah: XP takes far less than that ... [19:30] lev_: like right now, two finger scrolling is enabled, but two fingers moving on the pad triggers right-click, rwo fingers stationary seems to trigger middle click... horizontal scrolling sends the mouse to random corners... [19:30] Gifford: So you already have Windows installed? Just make an Ubuntu partition of 1-2Gb and a swap of 1Gb, then set the rest other data etc? [19:30] this is what happens with me in ubuntu+flash 10.2 have a nice read http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=dcdb6dfe02b1f9094cce0e36aac24fdb&p=10443876&postcount=1 [19:30] What type of laptop is it? [19:30] exutux: nothing :( [19:30] anirudhr: that woked [19:31] hello is there a imagemagick + magickwand expert here? [19:31] Ohsix: I simply remember my old old XP install being 3.5GB or so [19:31] right after install without swap its like 800 [19:31] lev_: Google CR-48. the Synaptics pad has a manufactuer date of Nov 2010. [19:31] BiPolah: maybe I could insert a memory card of 16GB and run linux from there? [19:31] 2gb for ubuntu is nowhere enough for /usr D: [19:31] nagel182: ask, you never know whos reading [19:32] Gifford: I'm sure that's possible, but you'd need to install GRUB on the SSD so it can boot from that [19:32] noone can help me with my Touchpad issue?! :( [19:32] !anyone | akSeya [19:32] akSeya: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[19:33] sss: either with synclient or any frontend for it [19:33] akSeya: intresting I have that issue too, I just noticed [19:33] Anurup helped me so far, but he vanished. I had problem instaling magickwand and it got solved. it appeared on my phpinfo... but the test code didnt work. when i looked at the phpinfo again magicwand wasnt there anymore! [19:34] lev_: that uses Hal... hal wont work on this hardware, it causes a kernel panic. [19:34] the only info about my Touchpad I got from lshal http://paste.pocoo.org/show/337181/ [19:34] flash_is_sucking: does that happen with compiz, metacity, or both?

[19:36] chriss_: if it needs to be checked, you'll either have to reboot into windows twice and let it do its thing or force it clean with something in ntfsprogs [19:36] lev_: that's what I did, but using ChromiumOS, not Chrome...

[19:45] yes [19:45] How do I find out which programs are using how much memory? Top and gnome-system-monitor seem to be inacccurate. Yes, I am taking into account memory used as buffers/cache and not complaining about memory usage. I just want to figure out what is using how much? [19:45] looks like it's a kernel issue [19:45] yea, this should work as a work around [19:45] Arachon: what's happening [19:45] robriley78, what Gartral suggested should do the trick. [19:45] Im gonna send you a pm with a work around see if it works for you [19:45] Travis-42: atop [19:45] anurup: i hope you file a bug if you track your problem to the kernel mouse/touchpad support [19:46] Arachon: The "forward" button is greyed out [19:46] Arachon: username is all lowercase letters? [19:46] Arachon: use only lowercase letters in each section [19:46] Arachon: make sure your username consists of ONLY lower case letters, [19:46] anurup: there are properties X can use on an input device to disable input; chances are the problem is there, rather than in the driver; the driver would complain in dmesg if it had a problem on that order [19:46] Oh, right [19:46] That's it [19:46] thanks :) [19:46] Arachon: np [19:46] it has to be all lowercase?

[19:47] Alright, hopefully it'll be fixed later on then [19:47] Ohsix: yes [19:48] ActionParsnip Arachon ohsix it is not a bug, it's a design feature that's remained part of the Linux philosophy since the 80s..

Just a short question: When Firefox 4.0 is released, will there be an automatic update via official repositories for Ubuntu 10.10? [19:56] Guest67615, no [19:56] Anyone know how I can trick Chromium into thinking I'm using GNOME when using LXDE? Setting an environmental variable or anything come to mind?

I'm trying to use badblocks to fix a bad sector on my drive. I know the number of the sector, but badblocks only allows me to specify where to scan on the drive in terms of blocks. How can i convert this sector to a range of block numbers? [19:57] Guest67615, as a backport. [19:57] Guest67615, you have to enable the backports repo. It's not enabled by default, but it's official.

[19:59] any idea why ~/.xinitrc isn't being executed when logging in? [19:59] (note that I'm using fluxbox) [20:00] Daekdroom, so I just have to enable the "Unsupported updates (maverick-backports)" in synaptic and Firefox 4.0 will be installed when it's released?

[20:00] Guest67615, I never saw the blueprint in question, but I haven't looked for it either [20:00] that's a rather akward way to reboot, lol [20:00] Daekdroom, ok thanks [20:00] are there any decent front ends for ebay? eg that keep track of what items you've viewed in the past, or that you've scanned over? [20:01] hey, is there a way to partition with gparted my ext4 into 2 partitions one with ext4 and one with ntfs after having ubuntu already installed? [20:01] M4rotku: no, i was talking about alt+prntscreen, thnx pici [20:01] eyceberg: use gparted from the live CD? [20:01] wakakaa: np :) [20:01] the strange is that I added i8042.nomux=1 to /boot/grub/grub.cfg but it did not took effect [20:01] it's that the right place? [20:02] ok, so run it off live cd even if i have ubuntu already installed? [20:02] akSeya: no I think it should be etc/grub/defualt [20:02] yes, you can modify your ubuntu partition from the live CD since you're booting to the CD and not the partition [20:02] etc/defualt/grub [20:02] ty tyt [20:02] eyceberg: You shouldn't need to do that. Use Gparted to edit partition size, shrink it down, then reformat the now-free space [20:03] Also, LiveCD doesn't have gparted by default [20:03] BiPolah: you'd have to unmount the partition first, which you can't do if you're currently running the ubuntu partition [20:03] ya i cant unmount [20:03] akSeya: I think it should be etc/default/grub that it should be added to [20:03] and yes, it does have gparted [20:03] Fluttershy: Yeah, you're right. My bad.

[22:01] it's only a 16gb SSD [22:01] 5 gb [22:01] so none of the files in there right now are personal files, right? [22:02] if they are, back them up, [22:02] including your home directory/subfolders [22:02] yea, maybe.. 150 mb [22:02] then clear house, update, then put the stuff back maybe? [22:02] Gartral: 5gb including /home? [22:02] jrib, yea, that's changing soon [22:02] or if that doesn't work, just do a clean install on top of it then put the stuff back [22:02] Gartral: then just change it this time so you don't have the same headache next time [22:03] nillerz: WAY easier said then done, at this point i'm trailblazing new frontiers. It's a CR-48.. requires custom, google-signed kernel and many other unique tweaks. [22:03] Question? Is there a way with ubuntu 10.10 to create a startup disc using current settings? Meaning a startup disc created using my current computer settings with all the repos I have and the software thats installed already as opposed to a starup disc that is merely stock ubuntu 10.10 [22:03] ouchies. [22:04] So, what you're saying is, [22:04] nillerz: clean installs are IMPOSSIBLE [22:04] the CR48 is not as much fun as you thought it would be [22:04] how create startup usb for windows install from U-10.10 ? [22:04] chaos2358: Yes, I think so [22:04] I Muste start with chrome/chromiumOS before i even think about altering the gpt tables. [22:04] Googles got you locked down, huh? [22:04] gnewb any idea how? [22:05] nillerz: ohh, it's way more fun that i first though, I love this computer! [22:05] I played with chromium on my laptops and I wasn't impressed [22:05] it was pretty boring to me. [22:05] chaos2358: Looking up the official docs now, I do recall seeing that on one of the docs. [22:05] nillerz: it's not meant to be an exciting OS.. it's meant to just work. [22:05] Gartral: yeah. only that is has 16gb hdd and needs a google signed kernel === Anthraxium|Detac is now known as Anthraxium [22:06] signed kernel requirements are a bit restrictive. I expected more from google. === SirShaded is now known as Shaded [22:07] hi all, installed nvidia 96 driver....which is compatible with my card....ever since I cannot right click on desktop or put icons on it. Any ideas? [22:07] fogobogo: it's a SSD and the kernel.. meh.. the only reason i need it is cause the EFI Bios don't contain a bootstub. It's injected into the kernel so it can work Mach magic and boot in 5 seconds. [22:07] chaos2358: Yes, I found three or for, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-with-remastersys.html nillerz: oh. they call it a security feature. you know, so that you know no one tampered with your kernel other than google and the NSA [22:08] gnewb that would be absolutelly wonderful because i had my pc set up as dual boot with win xp then bought win 7 and installed via virtual box "stupidity had me remove the win xp partition and resize the hard drive" and the virtual box is great but it is putting too much strain on my system and running my cpu at 100% whenever its open. I need to go back but because of all the resizing and such on my hdd I want to completelly reformat it before i go b [22:08] ack to dual boot [22:08] I have a simple question: I'm aware of the distinction between "safely remove hardware" and "unmount". Is there a way to SRH from the terminal? [22:08] sounds like something I'd try to kill. [22:08] ACJ: for a disk? umount [22:08] gnewb thanks man alot [22:08] and there's a different BIOS I can load too work with, but I promised Google I'd Test ChromeOS. so I'm testing ChromeOS and keep a weird Ubuntu for my semi-offline needs. [22:09] ACJ: note that it is "umount" not "unmount" [22:09] well I guess you can't bitchabout free hardware, even if it is locked down [22:09] websites are saying Java isn't installed. Software center search brings up OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime, is this the right thing? [22:09] Yes. I'm aware of that also. [22:09] chaos2358: That link I posted explains it in detail and easy to understand language, you are quite welcome, I hope it helps. [22:09] I'm fully happy with umount. I want to be able to power down a removable USB drive from the terminal.

[22:11] It'd be convenient since it's just a quick backup dump; I want to know when the backup is complete, and having the drive light go off would be perfect.

I did an apt-get and piped it to pastebinit.. previously it mentioned somthing to do with config [22:21] which ppa did you add? [22:21] openbees: which ppa did you add? [22:21] gnewb: it wasn't a dpkg error but a snort install error..

"sudo nano /etc/init.d/snort &> snort .. and now it's stuck with ctrl+q or c or x won't get out of.

[22:48] piercedwater: what controller? / chipset, and is there anything unusual in dmesg, like quirking dma or spurious irqs [22:48] whats the best avi,mkv,mpeg converter to DVD for ubuntu? [22:48] i've a dual screen desktop but i have a problem with the order of the display [22:48] Scunizi: try ctrl-\ [22:48] I am wondering if i would notice any improved 3d performance using the legacy fglrx drivers for my ATI Radeon 9600 gr. chipset over the open sourc radeon drivers, as Iḿ unsure if the propetiary legacy drivers for rad. 9x are still maintained?

[22:49] Zarvoxbe: if you're using hte nvidia proprietary drivers you can just click and drag to fix the positions. [22:49] soreau: what else could i try [22:49] ohsix: I'm not very experienced with technical aspects of Linux, so I dont know how to check any of those things. [22:49] Kylemm: That's because you have other package managers open and/or running [22:49] Kylemm: Close software center and any synaptic instances you have open [22:50] @skutr3 do you still have the flashplayer problem? [22:50] jrib: can't see what I'm typing now.. did ctrl- and "screen whent crazy.. now text inthe terminal is so small I'm stuck.. I'll detache and reattached. [22:50] Kylemm: And you can't have apt running in another terminal either. Only one program can have control of the package management system at a time [22:50] yo [22:50] piercedwater: checkout hte sysstat package. it comes with a utility called iostat. You can use it to check how many read/write requests are being pushed your disks and the service time. [22:50] yo [22:50] this linux stuff is way soooo complicated [22:50] does ubuntu only use x11 as the windowing system? [22:50] Kylemm: amen [22:50] jack_, yes but the windows open on the bad screen [22:50] mh, could do a few bench tests [22:51] skutr3: Well if it's playing but no audio is coming out, I'd check the volume levels and make sure nothing is muted. (in alsamixer, m toggles mute) [22:51] come on people lets work! :D [22:51] x11 is no window manager [22:51] Kylemm: Work with it for about 6 months, and then its not so complicated [22:51] Kylemm: windows does the same thing but with no explanation :) [22:51] SIGSEGVATR, yes [22:51] all this trouble just to enable effects ! [22:51] Ubuntu! [22:51] Zarvoxbe: that sucks. :P heh. click in the good monitro and use alt+f2 to runt he settings manager [22:51] soreau: ill check again but im pretty sure nothing is muted [22:51] does it come with openal as default? [22:51] skutr3: But if it's playing one type of file fine but not other types, then it's likely some codec issue === e-anima is now known as nerd [22:51] SIGSEGVATR, openal ? Never heard of it [22:51] OpenAL, audio api/driver [22:52] skutr3: If it's not outputting any sound at all, I'd also check physical cables and connections, especially if you're on a desktop [22:52] Kyelmm: got all the packages installed? [22:52] I have everything closed. All i got open is firefox, this, and openoffice writer and it still does not let me do apt-get update [22:52] something start kdeinit during bootup. how do i stop it?

Or, you can do 'compiz --replace' and pastebin the output to ubuntu.pastebin.com [22:53] hi all, I need to upgrade from karmic to lucid without a GUI (i.e. using a tty console) what is the best way to do this ? [22:53] Kylemm: htop will show running processes [22:53] !upgrade | u19809 [22:53] u19809: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [22:53] Kylemm: It is not hard to install mesa-utils though, installing packages is a very basic task when your repos aren't screwed up [22:53] sudo aptitude dist-upgrade (I think) [22:53] u19809: follow the server instructions there [22:53] lol i cant even install htop [22:53] "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" is not correct [22:54] sorry -- is it close? [22:54] Kylemm: The fact that your repos are screwy makes me think you may have mismatched versions of compiz components installed. So pastebin the output of 'dpkg -l|grep compiz' as well to ubuntu.pastebin.com [22:54] kevdog: no :( [22:54] jrib: back with normal text [22:54] thx [22:54] kevdog: it's close for debian though!

It seems to start with my python process, spread to all of my terminals, and then to any program that I try to open or that tries a disk operation [22:59] iuri: short way is to just move what you want to save to another directory and then delete everything.
