[00:00] I posted b oth [00:00] ChogyDan, I have posted both [00:01] induz: I see. What is your goal? The second one gives access to some third party software, and is more organized. Both will work though. You should probably just use the GUI [00:02] GUI ChogyDan ?? [00:02] hey where I can adjust mouse scroll-wheel speed? [00:02] ..help needed :( my font's and wallpaper when i boot it's ok about 10 minuts later appears blured and wallpaper too, anyone can help? [00:03] If i delete the old one and update to new[http://paste.ubuntu.com/567162/] it would be better for me?

[00:04] ufw question - can I allow from domain name? ufw allow from example.com [00:04] ChogyDan, what that command would do? [00:05] induz: it is the GUI [00:05] KM0201: I found out I can't be an OpenJDK contributor, because my work IP conflicts with oracle's IP requirements (intellectual property) === ben__ is now known as Photocopy [00:05] I have an issue [00:05] two actually [00:05] !panels | lastm [00:05] lastm: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [00:06] but I think I should take it one at a time so first; when I resize windows, the white border that displays for me what size the window will be when i let go leaves a 1px rectangle of white around the window that lingers until something passes over it [00:06] can I get rid of this somehow? [00:06] can someone point me in the right direction (I've searched and googled all over for) of an app (that I had once before on a different installation.) that will turn the trackpad on and off? In windows if I plug in my usb mouse it disables the touchpad. [00:07] ChogyDan, it says Could not download all repository indexes [00:07] of course. [00:08] induz: doesn't really matter, but you can uncheck the repository that is doing that [00:08] i'm having a problem with minecraft classic [00:08] i can't move at all [00:08] ChogyDan, its medibuntu GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org lucid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: [00:09] hey [00:09] hi [00:09] anyone here use backtrack 4?

Register/identify with Nickserv and /join #backtrack-linux [00:10] ChogyDan, ok [00:10] MNSTRNRGG666, I did at one point [00:10] when I resize windows a 1px wide white border remains around the window until something else passes through the space [00:10] it lingers [00:10] from the box that appears when i'm resizing [00:10] can anyone help with my minecraft issue? [00:11] the box that demonstrates how large my window will become [00:11] this is the fourth time i've come into this chat in two weeks about this issue [00:11] Photocopy, are you using compiz? [00:11] coz_ yes [00:11] Photocopy, and which video card? [00:11] Hey i need help/ [00:11] ChogyDan, can i use few lines like #Canonical Commercial Repository from that 2nd list [00:12] is there a command to display how many users in the room? [00:12] coz_: It's a laptop, so whatever is my integrated graphics. I don't recall. anywhere I can see who manufactured that bit? [00:12] Photocopy, in terminal lspci | grep -i vga [00:12] I need help getting visual effects to work. I got the driver installed and my ctrl+alt+f1 works. Please help [00:12] ubottu: I effectively did that to get a set of default panels back. gconftool-2 --shutdown; rm -rf ~/.gconf/panel; kill gnome-panel. This resulted in a fresh set of default panels which survived reboot. Is there anyway to recover the previous panel settings? [00:12] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:13] coz_: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [00:13] why is my system hanging whenever I reboot normally? it's frozen at * Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server [00:13] lastm: no, sorry [00:13] Photocopy, ok , although I know nothing about ati,,, open ccsm and go to the Utility category then click on the Workarounds plugin and see if "Force synchronization between X and GLX" is ticked [00:14] induz: just check off what you want in the GUI [00:14] Photocopy, I am not sure if this works with ati but cant hurt [00:14] anyone know if there is a way to add a download/install queue to synaptic? [00:14] it is ticked, coz_ [00:15] ChogyDan, so most of the repos are there in GUI [00:15] ChogyDan: I did make a copy of the ~/.gconf/apps/panel directory prior to its destruction. Is there anyway to find the offending entry in that directory? [00:15] i'm going to install 10.10 onto a harddrive and am backing up. question is, it is ext3 from an old install and i find i have to reformat for ext4 and is recommended. Does ext4 read ext3 and winxp paritions? Will I have to reformat again for the next greatest filesystem? Or can I partition the ext3 to have a ext4 without deleting the contents of the harddrive? [00:15] a_p3rson: no, but really you should just mark everything you want before hand first [00:15] Photocopy, ok now go into the Window management category and click on the Resize window plugin to get into its settings...also see what happens when you untick the Force synchronization box [00:15] a_p3rson, a queue? [00:15] I need help getting visual effects to work. I got the driver installed and my ctrl+alt+f1 works. Please help [00:15] lastm: I actually don't know [00:15] a_p3rson, well ... you can type something like "apt-get install packagea packageb packagec ..." [00:16] because, when i want to install something, if synaptic is running (e.g., updates), i cant use another package manager [00:16] Photocopy, in the Resize Window plugin click on the General tab and under the "Default Resize Mode" what do you have as the resize mode? [00:16] lastm: but if you saved the file, you might be able to, you should go for it [00:16] coz [00:16] a_p3rson, nope you can only use one pakcage manager at any given time [00:16] do you mean resize info plugin, coz_? [00:16] so something like instead of making a new package manager session, just add it to the queue of the package manager on the fly [00:16] Photocopy: Ok. This could be my playground... The ati x1200 is a special version of the x1250 integrated chipset. It is supported (but not that good)... there is much going on on ati drivers. You may consider the x-edgers ppa and install the bleeding edge ATi drivers. Also if you are running ubuntu 10.04, swich to a 2.6.35 kernel. It has better support for ATi graphics. You will even have gallium 3d and a new 2.6.38 kernel in that ppa. I am ru [00:16] eross: people still use ext3 fine, also the filesystem type doesn't determine whether you can read other filesystems. just use ext4 if you'd like to but you will have to transfer data over via a copying method [00:16] can someone point me in the right direction (I've searched and googled all over for) of an app (that I had once before on a different installation.) that will turn the touchpad on and off? In windows if I plug in my usb mouse it disables the touchpad. [00:16] @coz_ - nothing? [00:16] coz_: nevermind, you don't [00:16] ChogyDan: Yes. I'd hate to reload things onto the panel and be back to the no panel situation again. I just hate blazing trails if somebody has already done it. [00:16] Photocopy, no its called the "Resize Window" plugin under Window management category [00:17] Who can help me set up visual effects/ [00:17] coz_ I didn't see it [00:17] a_p3rson, nope only one package manager at any given time [00:17] eross, if you've got ext3 you dont need to change the filesystem [00:17] coz_ default mode is rectangle [00:17] eross, ext3 can be mounted as ext4 [00:17] Photocopy ok try "stretch" [00:17] lastm: I just looked at my panel settings, and it looks hard to pick through. I would just reset it up myself. gl [00:17] ok, and you cant modify the queue of like synaptic on the fly? [00:17] a_p3rson, well... you could sure build something in bash .... [00:17] 10.10 is saying it will format my primary hd if i install side-by-side [00:18] @rumpe1 - i dont build, i use... [00:18] oof [00:18] a_p3rson, apt-get -command and waiting till its finished... then another apt-get [00:18] hey where I can adjust mouse scroll-wheel speed? [00:18] Photocopy, what happened? [00:18] a_p3rson, well.. then... no :) [00:18] coz_ stretch works, doesnt leave anything behind but the graphical effect is the ugliest thing i have ever seen [00:18] kylemm, right click on your desktop, choose *change your desktop background* then use whatever features you want (including visual effects). [00:18] minimec; your message got cut off, can you type it in a pastebin? [00:18] Photocopy, its my favorite :) but each to their own,,, try any of the other except "normal" [00:18] ChogyDan: Thanks. We'll see what happens. [00:18] anyone here tried ubuntu 11.04 and hated the new look? [00:19] eross, if it were me i'd just upgrade with apt / update manager / etc [00:19] MNSTRNRGG666, you can log into classic gnome desktop [00:19] coz_ outline looks exactly the same as rectangle but it didnt leave anything behind. let me try it on a few other windows [00:19] I'm trying ubuntu 10.10 and I can't get it to work [00:19] how can i install Opera?? [00:19] induz: sudo apt-get install opera [00:19] ubuntu 10.10 is amazing [00:19] Photocopy, there you go...your card may not be able to handle that particular mode but keep testing to be sure [00:19] dancek - tried that form 8.04 to 10.04, said too many errors and would not boot. had to use a usb boot [00:19] coz_ nevermind, outline still left a border [00:19] thanks aeon-ltd [00:19] Photocopy, ah [00:19] i got it [00:19] coz_ just didnt seem to do it on xchat but appears to be doing it still on midori and other windows [00:20] i got a disc [00:20] Photocopy, also try the #radeon channle to see if they have any suggestions for that card === marius is now known as Guest9221 [00:20] eross, well 10.04 to 10.10 should be less problematic [00:20] Photocopy: ok. short. The x1200 x1250 series is much better supported with the x-edgers ppa (including gallium 3d and 2.6.35 and 2.6.38 kernel) [00:20] coz_ Or I could just use normal, it's fine actually [00:20] minimec; is that a ppa containing drivers? [00:20] MNSTRNRGG666, well if you install natty,,, you have 2 choices netbook = Unity or classic gnome desktop [00:20] Abinadi: it says cant enable [00:20] how do u log into classic gnome desktop in it? [00:20] I need HELP!!! I made a GIG booboo and now all my work is gone! Anyone please help me!! [00:20] I install Opera, but i can not see it? [00:20] Photocopy, normal is fine? generally that is extrememly video intensive since it has to redraw every single pixel of the window as you resize it [00:21] do i have to restart ubuntu? [00:21] eross, i've never really understood people doing reinstalls so take my advice with a grain of salt [00:21] Guest9221 - pls explain [00:21] coz_ it's not really slow or anything doing it and it doesnt look as bizarre as stretch [00:21] once i updated to 11 it put it into netbook [00:21] coz_ let me test a few windows [00:21] Photocopy: the ppa includes the bleeding edge xorg stuck including mesa gallium 3d driver (default in natty 11.04 for ATI cards) [00:21] erros [00:21] i'll explain [00:21] Photocopy: stack ... [00:21] coz_: Admittedly its a tiny bit slow but whatever [00:21] backing up and reinstalling for ext4 filesystem :P [00:21] Photocopy, ok [00:22] kylemm, then your hardware may not support visual effects. I know that I can't enable visual effects if I'm running windows 7 as a host OS and have a Maverick VirtualBox [00:22] Photocopy, also check in #radeon to see if they know of any issues with that card [00:22] i went into wine and deleted some stuff coz i thought it was windows (c:) stuff [00:22] then everything crashed [00:22] minimec seems to know, coz_ Thanks for the help though [00:22] Guest9221, reinstall wine [00:22] is Soreau or Jack_ here? === captnmorgen is now known as captnmrgn [00:22] Photocopy: I am using the x1250 AMD/ATI combination, while yours should be one of this rare Intel/ATI combinations. [00:22] i restarted and ran a system recovery [00:22] minimec; i'm going to be out for 5 or 10 minutes, can I come back in a moment and work through this with you?

It's 1.30 AM ... ;) [00:24] soreau: then what? [00:25] you fellas still there? [00:25] Photocopy: sudo add apt-repository x-edgers... Update the system reboot (if you installed the new kernels) That should be all. You don't need to install the ppa kernels. [00:25] Guest9221 - what do you mean files in root? Did you set up a password? [00:26] can someone point me in the right direction (I've searched and googled all over for) of an app (that I had once before on a different installation.) that will turn the touchpad on and off?

[00:43] coz_: Okay, it appears to be a problem with just the first album in alphabetical order [00:43] aplund, http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/ [00:43] since past few days i am just downlaoding s/w and installing them hardly of any use [00:43] induz: not if you haven't a clue how to use it or what it can do for you [00:43] yes Guest9221 [00:43] Photocopy, ok [00:43] wait [00:43] wait === lubec is now known as Predominant [00:43] itaylor57, I have no clue what is VCS is [00:43] coz_: That has no information about the structure of how ubuntu packages libcurl [00:43] could you please tell me how i can respond to you directly like 'reply' or something [00:43] aplund, sorry misunderstood [00:44] soreau: there is no repo option [00:44] coz_ it died on another album. it seems to not work with some of the files my friend copied from his mac [00:44] induz: then you probably have not need for it [00:44] coz_ but the other guy copied his stuff from his windows machine and those ones are working [00:44] !tab | Guest9221 [00:44] Guest9221: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

[00:44] Photocopy, ok mm I know very little about mac and file transfer from on OS to the other [00:45] Guest9221 - see PM chat window [00:45] soreau: back [00:45] coz_: nevermind, i've got it narrowed down for sure to what the problem is [00:45] aplund: likely libcurl4-gnutls-dev or libcurl4-openssl-dev === ElderDryas is now known as Guest18719 [00:45] induz: I would be more than glad to discuss it more in #ubuntu-offtopic [00:45] Photocopy, cool [00:46] Pici: ok. But why is there no libcurl4 package? [00:46] coz_; it's struggling with the m4as [00:46] doesn't itunes use that format? [00:46] Photocopy, hold on let me check something [00:46] could it be some kind of copy protection if its something he purchased? [00:46] itaylor57, that VCS is not for me [00:47] awww man, Chogydan left [00:47] I pasted the 2 version of source lists which one to keep now?? [00:47] Photocopy, you could convert the m4a files to wav [00:47] soreau: damn i thought getting the live of 10.10 would fix this stuff [00:48] coz_ it's no big deal [00:48] I'm always the one who when asked "What time is it?" begins to describe how to build a watch [00:48] aplund: Likely because theres no libcurl4 in Debian [00:48] coz_ the one guy gave me music i think i'll actually like and he's the guy whos music is working [00:48] Photocopy - I use the music i purchased from itunes on ubuntu without a problem with rhythmbox [00:48] Photocopy, you need to have faad installed...maeuver to the external where they are located command would be fadd name.m4a hit enter and it should convert to wav [00:48] coz_ the other guy listens to weird stuff i dont think i'd be able to get into it anyway [00:48] Whats that code for ctrl+alt+f1 to restart gdm [00:49] every irc client on linux pisses me off =( [00:49] Photocopy - Pidgin works quite well for mulitasking [00:49] Photocopy : use Xchat [00:49] xchat i'm using right now [00:49] i hate it [00:50] get pidgin [00:50] Photocopy : why so [00:50] Photocopy, +1 for XChat [00:50] pidgin is fine but annoying because i use empathy for my im [00:50] it integrates into the messaging menu [00:50] and it is much stabler than empathy [00:50] and works better [00:50] Photocopy: Don't be so hard. I love 'irssi'. It is a command line irc client... [00:50] and has plugin capabilities [00:50] pidgin isn't working with my messaging menu, and it's not really running well [00:50] minimec; ive heard of that, not my style [00:50] 10.04 or 10.10? [00:50] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:50] pidgin also doesnt seem to want to conform to my gtk theme properly [00:50] 10.10 [00:51] x86 or x64? [00:51] x86 [00:51] ubuntu_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [00:51] hi [00:51] what do u guys about the new ubuntu 11.04? [00:51] ubuntu_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:51] think [00:51] hmm i have that [00:51] and its fine... [00:51] ubuntu_, if you do ctrl+alt+F1 log in first try restart gdm if that doesnt work ,,,which it should... then use the /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:52] bstarek; not much. wont be using unity, the rest all seems fine [00:52] coz_: how do i login fist then restart gdm lol? [00:52] coz_:you are second :P [00:52] Photocopy : i cant find the categories anymore...like game,system... [00:52] ubuntu_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [00:52] ubuntu_, no first ctrl+alt+F1 then log in [00:52] ubuntu_, you have to log in when you run ctrl+alt+F1 [00:52] bstarek; i've never used unity yet so i don't know, i just don't want to use it. its not minimal enough [00:53] coz_ do ctrl+alt+f1 then type log in? [00:53] razorr1990, sorry if I repeated ,, wasnt paying attention [00:53] it's too much stuff on my desktop at once [00:53] Photocopy : okk [00:53] coz_: its ok :) [00:53] ubuntu_, no ctrl+alt+F1 should take you to test console where the is a login promt [00:53] prompt [00:53] how do you find the fourth dimension? [00:53] ubuntu_: Updating your repos is not the same as updating all of the packages [00:53] who else thinks the menu bar sucks in unbutu 11.04?? [00:53] bstarek; what menu bar [00:53] bstarek; like globalmenu? [00:53] I dont find the categories anymore [00:53] what should be Nautilies settings? [00:54] wtf [00:54] ubuntu_: by default ubuntu uses the cdrom fro repos and not the live web ones assuming the live session doesn't have the internet [00:54] bstarek, actually #ubuntu+1 is the 11.04 official channel before release [00:54] alright ill go check it out thanks ;) [00:54] You suck? [00:54] bstarek; a global menu type thing is much better than a menu in each window, but i think the elementaryos approach is even better [00:54] bstarek, if you mean the panel on the left you dont need to use Unity you can log out then log into the classic gonme desktop with or withouty effects [00:54] two camels in a tiny car?\ [00:54] ubuntu_: So you're supposed to just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment all repos then run apt-get update and install whatever package you need to [00:55] coz_: how do i choose which menu i wanna use? [00:55] hello. I'm having issues where i have an adobe air app running in xvfb and it isn't grabbing standard fonts (webdings, impact, verdana times new roman, &c). I install xfonts-*. how can i tell if these fonts are installed or where could i install them from? this is a headless box with no desktop env installed. X is installed [00:55] ubuntu_: But if you don't need to do apt-get upgrade in live session [00:55] bstarek, when you log out... put in your password,,, and be fore hitting enter,,,at the bottom of the screens is the "Session" button pull down [00:55] anyone having fixed channel probelms in aireplay-ng in ubuntu 11.04? [00:55] soreau: i dont get how to enable the web repos [00:56] Photocopy - you do know you can get the global menu for 10.10? [00:56] coz_: the thing that i dont like is that i dont find the dropdown menu anymore...like accessories...games...networking... [00:56] and with a hack and so, it works with firefox, etc. [00:56] razorr1990: try ubuntu+ [00:56] coz_: got u [00:56] razorr1990: try ubuntu+1 [00:56] ubuntu_, there you can choose classic gonme desktop with or without effects if you are going to try that I suggest opening ccsm and disabling the Unity plugin [00:56] How do you hijack a school server? [00:56] How do you work photo shop?/ [00:56] ubuntu_, unless you go with classic gnome without effects [00:56] coz_: im trying to enable effects with LIVEUSB [00:56] my Macintosh is going haywire? may you help me [00:56] avance0242, are you having issues with ubuntu or one of it's applications? [00:57] ubuntu_, ah sorry then... again I misunderstood [00:57] ubuntu_ - someone else was having that problem... [00:57] How long does it take to run Ubuntu from the disc?

Run gksu software-properties-gtk and select repos and let it load then try again (Hint: You do not want cd rom, you want the live web repos) === erik__ is now known as xorgnak [00:58] anyway [00:58] this irc client is trash [00:58] brb [00:59] !ontopic | avance0295 [00:59] Should I restart my system and try again, or...?

[01:00] ubuntu_: You don't see at the top where it says 'Downloadable from internet'?

But like I told you before, this is a huge waste of time and you are much better off installing ubuntu [01:33] jon_athon, i mean, is it a commercial cd in the freedb? [01:33] простите это русский канал???

[03:22] er [03:22] i wont do that yet [03:22] droidftw: droidftw, it is accepting the type, but it doesn't show anything for security reasons [03:22] ali__: but you can access via wired? [03:22] so I can do get_attr("title") [03:22] Gnea: hmm? [03:22] how can I return an attribute of a class by its name? example Class Movie has attribute title. So I want to have a function called get_attr($name) that returns $this->${$name}; [03:22] kylemm: wrong msg [03:22] so I can do get_attr("title") [03:22] droidftw, type your password, then hit enter, it will not show any characters while you type your password [03:22] ubuntu_: ok.. what exactly is your problem [03:22] Gnea : I don't have wired, only wireless and how can I boot and tell you my wireless device ? [03:22] kylemm: and please listen to yeik, it seems like he's got a better idea of what your problem is :) [03:23] kylemm: good, the best tool i have seen for creating a live usb drive is at www.linuxliveusb.com, it is easy and straightforward. you could try that, make sure you set it to persistent [03:23] juboba: what are you talking about? [03:23] ali__: do you have a usb thumbdrive? [03:23] Logan_WP: damn, thought I was in ##php [03:23] juboba: haha, no problem [03:23] Gnea: i have a lot of experience with usb drives. [03:23] Gnea : you mean pendrive? [03:23] yeik: so if its set to persistent then its actually INSTALLED like it would be on the hdd? [03:23] thumbdrive, pendrive, same thing. [03:23] yeik: as do I, I'm also trying to solve a non-usb issue on my end here as well [03:24] ali__: yes [03:24] kylemm: sort of. all of your changes will stay, and you can save files. it creates a container that is loaded when you boot up. [03:24] ubuntu_: what exactly are you trying to do? [03:24] Gnea: i understand. my upgrade broke :( [03:24] yeik: but only on the usb right? [03:24] !nvidia [03:24] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:24] Gnea : yes I have it is where I installed ubuntu netbook remix on via this USB pendrive [03:24] kylemm: yes only on the usb [03:24] yeik: I've got some massive dbus issues at the moment [03:24] yeik: okay as long as nothing is saved in my HD [03:24] is back [03:25] itaylor57: o/ [03:25] ali__: okay, you ought to be able to insert the drive back in and create a folder on it [03:25] kylemm: nothing will be changed from linux, on your hard drive from that tool [03:25] yeik: Gnea: let me get on windows and try it out [03:25] ali__: (on the eeepc) [03:25] kylemm: excellent, you can pm me if you have any issues or questions with it. [03:25] Gnea : ok and what should I put inside this folder? [03:25] KM0201: o/ [03:26] ali__: you'll need to open a terminal and cd to the path of that folder [03:26] I have an issue runnin wxsand binaries. I have the libpng3 package, and i've ran updatedb: virtus@Cathedral:~/Downloads$ ./fsg-4.4 [03:26] ./fsg-4.4: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:26] yeik: Bingo! Congrats. No one here over the past few days realised he was running off the .iso (it took us a day to realize he was running off a usb at all) [03:26] if i just tpe everything in here that sould give me more entryp [03:26] virtus: do you have a /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 file? [03:26] Gnea : i know now what is my wireless device? [03:27] Gnea : i run in command 'lspci' and it shows that I have [03:27] ali__: do you see the wireless device in the list? [03:27] ali__: good, now type it like this: lspci > lspci.txt [03:27] Gnea: Yes. [03:27] Gnea : ok wait [03:27] ElderDryas: thanks, i wish i could get my iso to run that well off of a usb (my iso was about 1 gb containing 3 differen't os installers) === a_p3rson[away] is now known as a_p3rson[yellme] [03:27] when it asks for a password in terminal it wont let me type, i can only push enter [03:27] droidftw: The charectors are hidden. [03:27] oh [03:28] thankyou [03:28] droidftw: you are typing, the characters are hidden [03:28] It may not look like it, but you ARE typin. [03:28] droidftw: when you enter a password, you won't see anything, but it is being entereed [03:28] droidftw, type the password and hit enter already [03:28] virtus: s/charectors/characters [03:28] I'm looking for a mailer program, specifically just to send mail, not receive. [03:28] Anytime. [03:28] -e [03:28] Gnea : I typed the command nothing shows up [03:28] ali__: all that does is show your lspci in a text file, if you already have lspci in a terminal, just fine your wireless device in that list [03:28] Logan_WP: Indeed. I'm sorry, i'm tired. [03:28] ok thankyou [03:28] Gnea : ok [03:28] :P [03:28] it is [03:28] ali__: good, then it worked. you just created a text file on the usb device that contains the output of the lspci command. [03:28] droidftw: to get a graphical interface, replace "sudo" with "gksudo" and "su" with "gksu" [03:28] ali__: now, take the usb drive and plug it into the pc you're typing on now. [03:28] ok, now im trying to see if i can get some updates to work, maybe hoping that will fix my issue, sudp apt-get upgrade gives me dpkg errors. how can i fix issues with dpkg? dpkg --reconfigure -a doesn't do anything [03:28] ok thankyou [03:28] .. [03:29] ali__: open the lspci.txt file and then copy & paste the contents to http://ubuntu.paste.com [03:29] Gnea : ok [03:29] !pastebin [03:29] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

KM0201 brought up some good information. [03:38] uh ohes === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [03:38] hey guys...I got this cron job that runs every min. It moves files basically. if it gets a big one though and cron starts again it trys to copy it twice. [03:38] yeik: the issue [03:38] yeik: indeed. [03:38] is there a default package for ubuntu-server .. like a package that has all the default packages for server? [03:38] er 2x same thought :P [03:39] yeik: i always knew what page i as on... :).. while what gnea said worked, i thought it wa a long ass way to go about it, considering ali__ figured out his wireless device a few minutes ago [03:39] has anyone had any luck with running cron with a lock file? [03:39] 'lo all. [03:39] Is there a way in Ubuntu to get similiar functionality to the "Restore previous folders on startup" feature in Windows? [03:39] !nvidia [03:39] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:39] ElderDryas: ahh ok, and yeah, i am bad with names... i can remember a computer and an issue like it was written down on my hand, but names really don't work for me. [03:39] a_p3rson[yellme]> it is, but not totally [03:39] I have an issue installing lamp =/ [03:40] I hate losing all my open folders when I reboot. [03:40] cdr: i believe that is probably more of a feature in gnome, or your favorite x-manager. I know that xfce has an option to open your programs up when you reboot. [03:40] yeik: your systems sound like me 15 years ago...now I'm down to one laptop and leave the multiple systems to my daughter [03:40] yeik: Yeah, gnome. [03:40] but I'm getting ot :( [03:40] I can't find any way to do it in Gnome, though [03:41] ElderDryas: i use it more like a server, then i have two computers, one for my living room (laptop was taken over by my gf) and my desktop in the other room. [03:41] What would be the best remedy for a notification area removing/doubling icons between boots [03:41] Gnea : thank you [03:41] does anyone know if external video cards work good for games?

[03:42] a_p: not an option [03:42] thanks though [03:42] Km0201 : thank you too i'm trying now to install it in offline mode [03:42] cdr: what gnome version? [03:42] alin`: thats a vague question, if you are trying to run a windows program on linux, either look for a linux port or try a windows emulator. [03:42] Gnea : not yet but still trying thank you anyway [03:42] ali__: awesome [03:42] ali__: it's pretty easy... if you're on a live usb/cd... just follow the instructions to modprobe the driver, and it should work... i've had pretty good success w/ the STA and the 4313 [03:42] no, absolutly? is that yes or no? lol [03:42] yeik: whatever's current on 10.10, 2.32.0 [03:43] a_p3rson[yellme]> i have source code make with visual studio, but i can't compile it in linux :( [03:43] Km0201 : you mean the USB which I installed the ubuntu netbook booted in? [03:43] cdr: im not that great with gnome, but i found this http://blogs.sun.com/mattman/entry/gnome_2_24_session_save1 [03:43] alin`: hmm not sure if you can... [03:44] Km0201: how can i do that? cuz i'm blur now seriously [03:44] Where should I be looking for documentation on properly starting my own services? [03:44] i.e. apps I write myself. [03:44] a_p3rson[yellme]> why not? [03:44] cdr: if you are using ubuntu, just select hibernate on the menu [03:44] ali__: are you following the instructions for "no internet access/STA driver"? [03:44] alin`: visual studio i don't think will work on linux, but im not sure... [03:44] ali__: it actually sounds like you installed onto the hard drive from the usb, because netbooks don't have cd drives. do you require the usb to boot/is that how you boot? [03:44] visual studio blow [03:44] s [03:45] alin`: why do you want visual studios in linux? [03:45] Km0201 : I'm reading it now [03:45] a_p: this is a dual boot machine, I doubt hibernate works [03:45] look at gambus [03:45] ali__: are you on a live USB, or did you actually install ubuntu on this netbook [03:45] a_p3rson[yellme]> I know it is not working in linux VS, but why not work sa source code?? [03:45] visual [03:46] alin`: again, im not sure, im not a visual studio guy [03:46] yeik> I don't want VS in linux, I want only the source code [03:46] Okay im done [03:46] alin`: most code in visual studio (any type) usually uses windows libraries, as that is what the target os usually is. i would contact the person that has the source code and ask them if they can help you [03:47] a_p3rson[yellme]> :)K I keep looking [03:47] yeik: im done :D [03:47] kylemm: wb, how did that go? [03:47] yeik: it is now 710MB persistant [03:47] kylemm: are you booted to that now? [03:47] yeik: ya [03:48] yeik> in C++ are not the same libs?? [03:48] kylemm: ok, so now you should be able to make any changes, add a file to the desktop, and reboot. [03:48] where did that guy go lol [03:48] yeik: thanks [03:48] alin`: No, there is a lot of different libs, some even implement things like boost, there are differences for things like time() threads() etc, as the underlying os is different. [03:48] Km0201: no i'm on my desktop ubuntu it has no problem the problem is in my netbook ubuntu [03:49] I am following the instructions now but I feel i'm confused [03:49] ali__: where are you confused? [03:49] yeik> :( [03:49] alin`: There is lots of source code that can be compiled in both linux and windows, but usually for any decent sized project it has to be configured [03:49] Can somebody help me blacklist nouveau [03:49] I seem i cannot install it [03:49] the it is any program to convert from C++ in Java?? [03:49] by offline mode [03:49] kylemm: you're welcome. [03:50] kylemm: now you should NOT have to jump thru all the hoops of the past few days, adding the recommened NVIDIA driver should work [03:50] ElderDryas: really? [03:50] yeik> I try a very small one...it is dosen't work to compile in linux [03:50] yes...we did not realize that you were using the .iso :( [03:50] kylemm: yes...we did not realize that you were using the .iso :( [03:50] * ElderDryas getting tired [03:51] i was told i need to blacklist nouveau [03:51] alin': if it was set up for visual studio it might not. but if you have a small .c file that just is main(){prinft("hello world");} then it will compile no matter what. [03:51] * a_p3rson[yellme] realised this is there... [03:51] yeik: thanks, that at least got me the right keywords to search [03:52] alin`: you should contact maintainers of the code, and ask them for help, or go to a C++/C room and ask for help compiling the code. [03:52] what's ubuntu's wgetpaste alternative? [03:52] yeik> "Hello World" it is the simplest program === andrew__ is now known as ackondro [03:52] kylemm: I don't think you have the nouveau driver install now...just try the NVIDIA driver === onekenthomas is now known as kthomas [03:52] cdr: you're welcome. hopefully you can find it. [03:52] Hey I was having a quick chat with one of my college profs. Hey suggested sudo -s instead of sudo su. Can anyone tell me the differences between the two? [03:52] i installed the mscore fontss package, but this air app can't seem to see webdings. this is a headless box with a minimal X install. what can i do to see if it's installed? or how could install just webdings if i had the ttf? [03:53] alin': yes, but visual studio creates packages and adds includes automatically, to make things easier for developers. without knowing the source code i am more inclined to say it wont work [03:53] alin`: even if it all works in linux, you have to manually compile it, using gcc, and link each file and library that is needed. === kthomas is now known as onekenthomas [03:54] Does anyone know the difference between Sudo su and Sudo -s off hand? [03:54] yeik> I compare two source code, one of windows and one of linux, are the same, but still don't work [03:55] Vampist: sudo - tuns everything from stdin sudo su gives you a shell, if i recall [03:55] Vampist: sudo su actually does su as root, su changes the user thats logged in. i don't know what sudo -s does. [03:56] D-Link DGE-530T which driver does this need and does it come with ubuntu? [03:56] Sudo -s is basically as if you called sudo before every command after that until "exit". (logs you in as root) [03:56] alin`: do you have a link or can you paste something that i can look at to have an idea of what you are working with? [03:56] Vampist: sudo -s appears to have to do with the input of the password [03:56] how in the hell do you successfully enter single-user-mode in 10.10? i'm trying to unmount / but the stupid recovery console is screwing it up [03:56] I have always done sudo su. But he suggested sudo -s [03:56] Vampist: sorry, i missed the -s and just aread a - [03:57] Vampist: then i would say sudo -s would probably also time out and ask for a password later, but sudo su will always be as root, so if you leave or someone else tries to mess with it, then they will not be able to. [03:57] yeik> ok for an example a simplest program who make makefile from sln [03:58] yeik> http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cross-platform/sln2mak.aspx [03:58] alin`: sln is a solution file for visual studio, im not away of any tools to compile sln in linux [03:58] yeik: That is interesting, didn't think of that aspect. [03:58] can ubuntu play .mov files === slug_ is now known as slug [03:58] yeik> sln is incorporate all the tree source [03:58] Where can I get a PPC build of LXSplit? [03:58] droidftw: should be able to. if the default media player can't, try vlc [03:58] ok [03:58] gp5st2: thankyou [03:59] for some reason nautilus has lost its theming [03:59] all the folders are just white now [03:59] how do i get that back to normal [03:59] em: tried restarting nautilus? [03:59] just nautilus -q in terminal. [03:59] alin`: i know what sln is, it is called a "solution" file, it gives visual studio its structures, includes, files, etc, with that link you sent, it might be possible to convert the sln to a makefile. But i don't think the actual source code will compile. [04:00] http://imagebin.org/138022 [04:00] why does my proc speed show 530 mhz? [04:00] VxQe: ahh thanks, that did it. I wonder why that would happen. [04:00] Vampist: Most things like that are for security reasons. it makes the most sense. [04:00] Okay, making a wee bit of headway with my problem.... basically I'm trying to get dbus to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 amd64 (can't use Ubuntu Desktop because same thing happens and can't even get to the prompt to fix it during install phase) and during the pre-script, it attempts to run "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" and by default, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id comes up empty, so it fails. if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id" and then issue a "service [04:00] did I just get cut off? [04:00] em: It's happened to me before when I installed orta [04:00] yeik> uoff, sln have #include "stdafx" [04:00] but it only happened once after I rebooted and never came back. :/ [04:00] yeik, yeah it makes sense. Thanks. [04:00] yeah i rebooted too [04:01] Gnea: you cut off at "service [04:01] but nautilus -q fixed it [04:01] if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id" and then issue a "service dbus start", it finds it and tries to start, but snowballs into a fully-locked kernel panic. What should I try next? [04:01] Forgot to mention that I love my Ubuntu! [04:01] qebab: that one? [04:01] Gnea: that should be the rest yeah. Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to solve your problem. :( [04:01] qebab: alright :( [04:01] how in the hell do you successfully enter single-user-mode in 10.10? i'm trying to unmount / but the stupid recovery console is screwing it up [04:02] !language | vox [04:02] vox: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [04:02] vox, sudo reboot [04:02] why does my proc speed show 530 mhz? http://imagebin.org/138022 [04:02] Okay i activated my driver and restarted computer, but it still says its not in use [04:02] vox: second, bring up the menu at boottime by pressing the shift key just after post [04:02] alin`: stdafx is a windows thing, wont compile in linux without knowing what it is and changing it. [04:03] jon_athon: power saving [04:03] Gnea, I'm plugged in [04:03] anyone have any advice on how to mount a NAS so that it mounts on boot in /etc/fstab? [04:03] jon_athon it throttles [04:03] jon_athon: the system is designed to throttle the cpu down when it's not being used for anything intensive [04:03] Will still downclock cpu if it's not being used. [04:03] Don't worry about it. [04:03] Gnea: yeik: i got it to make it save. But it still says driver not in use.... [04:03] jon_athon: cpufrequtils will allow more flexibility in controling it. [04:03] yeik> ok, I would try to compile without that library [04:03] Gnea, so why does my fan still run all the time? [04:03] jon_athon: cpufreq-info cpufreq-set are the two commands you may want.. [04:04] jon_athon check it again while ripping two DVDs at the same time while playing a game on Facebook [04:04] ok so i have a graphics card that is not nvidia and one that is [04:04] Fan is usually managed by the motherboard. [04:04] jon_athon: bad ventilation? bad fan? [04:04] but the one that is not nvidia gives better output [04:04] vox: If you're trying to run fsck then then run "sudo shutdown -F -r now" to reboot and force an fsck. [04:04] uRock, it would have a heart attack [04:04] kylemm: i am not that great with drivers in linux, like nvidia drivers. Did it say activated before you rebooted? [04:04] uRock, it's 7 years old [04:04] yeik: yes [04:04] Gnea, nah, it didn't do this with windows [04:04] yeik: it said activated but not in use, and it still says that [04:04] is there a way to just use one of the graphic cards for cuda and the other one for out put [04:04] Jordan_U: neg, need to image / onto another disk [04:04] Gnea, it's actually blowing cold air outta the fan vent [04:04] jon_athon: so check the fan speeds [04:04] I was exaggerating a way to get it to show the full throttled CPU Hz [04:05] ? [04:05] Gnea: done that [04:05] jon_athon: install and setup lm-sensors [04:05] computertemp is another good package for monitoring temps in one of your panels [04:05] vox: okay, then select the recovery mode [04:05] what's a good linux compatible scanner? all the ones listed at http://usalug.com/phpBB3//viewtopic.php?t=8406 seem old-ish [04:06] !sane | accel [04:06] accel: Scanning software: Simple-Scan (GNOME), Xsane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE).

I'll have to look at it again [04:06] vox: That's easiest done with a LiveCD, but you can also remount / read only. It's going to be difficult to image without / mounted as I don't think dd exists in the standard initrd. [04:06] accel anything HP [04:06] My scanjet was plug n play [04:06] jon_athon: okay, should be able to check using the sensors command [04:07] kylemm: Like i said, i am not sure.

[04:08] kylemm: yeah [04:08] Gnea: can i get the terminal code [04:08] Gnea: plox [04:08] Gnea, I don't see a commnd option for rpm [04:08] hey can anyone answer some questions about graphic cards? [04:08] jon_athon: no, it should say how many RPMs the fan is spinning [04:08] kylemm: Did you figure it out? [04:09] soreau: well my stuff now saves [04:09] !ask | DpinkyandDbrain [04:09] DpinkyandDbrain: 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. :-) [04:09] Gnea, nope [04:09] jon_athon: weird [04:09] kylemm: That's good at least.. [04:09] Gnea, yup [04:09] vox: yeah, make the selection by hitting enter [04:09] Gnea: done that, am in root shell [04:10] soreau: some1 told me to blacklist nouveau a diff way in terminal [04:10] vox: okay [04:10] I have two graphic cards one is nvidia and one is not, the one that is not nvidia gives a better out put is it possible to just use the nvidia for cuda [04:10] to basically use it as more computing power [04:10] kylemm: you could also just remove it altogether [04:10] Gnea: now how i mount / as read-only? [04:10] DpinkyandDbrain: what's the other video card? [04:11] Gnea: well id rather just blacklist it [04:11] vox: sudo mount -n -o remount,ro / [04:11] Gnea: mount: / is busy [04:11] kylemm: that's fine, just: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf [04:11] hi, if i exec a command in bash shell script, how do i get its pid? Thanks [04:11] vox: okay, reboot and go back to the menu [04:12] i use to love nano, now i hate it and love vim :P [04:12] !blacklist [04:12] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [04:12] vox: instead of going to the recovery console, 'e'dit the first item, go to the end of the kernel line, remove 'quiet splash' and input 'init=/bin/sh' and then press ctrl-x [04:12] kylemm: If you have things saving, that is similar to having ubuntu installed. [04:12] soreau: ya its like installed on usb but its saving [04:12] anybody knows how to revert to orginal touchpad drivers [04:13] Gnea sorry i dont remember [04:13] vox: it will boot up and suddenly everything will go blank - when it's blank, you have a shell prompt and / is read-only [04:13] kylemm: Good, now did you blacklist nouveau? [04:13] its not in my possession yet [04:13] DpinkyandDbrain: as long as it's not an ATI, it will work [04:13] i tried installing the multitouch drivers on my hpdv6t but they are no good, so i need to revert back to the original ones, but i cant find how [04:13] Gnea: win and awesome [04:13] DpinkyandDbrain: if it's an ATI, the Nvidia will have a better output. [04:13] Hell i have a good ? I am on the net using my laptop and i would like to hook up a eithernet cable from laptop to another pc! What i am tring to accomplish is to leach the internet from lap top to the other pc using eithernet cable [04:14] vox: cheers [04:14] Gnea: mount says / is mount rw [04:14] is it possible? [04:14] soreau: not yet i might not have to [04:14] soreau: lemme restart comp and find out [04:14] vox: heh, try to touch a non-existant file in / [04:14] vox: you're reading stale data from when / was mounted rw [04:14] Gnea: touche` :) [04:15] there not the same card tho [04:15] ones a gt 240 [04:15] hi, I just ran the startup disk creator on a usb drive, and it's been creating the persistence file for a longwhile now, it's stuck at 100% with only a cancel button, should I keep waiting? [04:15] soreau: kylemm got set up with a persistent live usb drive now. [04:15] which is the nvidia and the other is much much higher [04:15] !python [04:15] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python [04:15] yeik: Ah ok, I don't know how that works [04:15] can someone help me solve this problem with wpa_supplicant?? http://pastie.org/1565053 [04:16] needlez: Run it with sudo [04:16] soreau: it is like a nromal live cd, but also creates a container that loads your user data on boot. its really neat, and there is an easy tool in windows to create one. [04:16] yeik: Awesome but can you tell it to become persistent through the live session itself? [04:16] so i am having issues with xorg, and now with upgrading packages, i am getting dpkg errors, [04:16] Okay, making a wee bit of headway with my problem.... basically I'm trying to get dbus to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 amd64 (can't use Ubuntu Desktop because same thing happens and can't even get to the prompt to fix it during install phase) and during the pre-script, it attempts to run "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" and by default, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id comes up empty, so it fails. [04:16] soreau: thats point less im already root [04:17] grrr usb-devices sees my blackberry but i cant figure out how to get it to mount [04:17] soreau: i am not sure, you probably could if you knew what you were doing, and the usb drive isn't just booting the .iso [04:17] needlez: Try it as your normal user with sudo [04:17] soreau: I have I get similar error, except I get permission denied for the device [04:17] anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu? [04:17] if I issue a "dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id" and then issue a "service dbus start", it finds it and tries to start, but snowballs into a fully-locked kernel panic. What should I try next? Panic info: http://i.imgur.com/oLmO6.jpg [04:18] yeik: I was meaning more of a 1 to 3 click solution for newbs ;) [04:19] soreau: yeah, in the usb drive itself no. but it would be a good thing to work on. Although this tool for windows is nice, it can put a portable copy of virtualbox on the usb drive and in most operating systems boot the usb in a virtual machine. [04:19] yeik: cool stuff [04:20] can anyone point to working multitouch drivers to hp dv6t ? [04:20] I have a problem logging in, every time i try and login (the gui pops up and i can click login, change session type) it appears to crash the xorg system, i see the black screen with text from session that you see when you go to alt f7, i had the last LTS and i decided to upgrade to the newest update, ran the update to new release from update manager, and there were some times when it said failed [04:20] so what's a good wireless dongle that works out of the box w/ ubuntu? [04:20] I've got 2 here that suck :-/ [04:20] and said i should run dpkg --configure -a and i did. but my main issue is that no matter what session i choose xorg seems to crash then restart itself when i try and login to the x-session [04:20] any one able to help me with some x11 forwarding? [04:21] soreau: yeah, its almost as cool as my master usb drive. can do everything with it. [04:21] kisuke, what are you trying to do? [04:21] yeik: have you tried: sudo apt-get -f install ? [04:21] soreau: this is what I get with running as regular user with sudo, http://pastie.org/1565229 [04:22] g_0_0: tring to run update-manager on a somewhat headless mavhine [04:22] ChogyDan!

[04:22] ChogyDan: dude, I moved like, 1/8 of an inch lol [04:22] yeik: ^.o [04:22] so anyone got any ideas?? [04:22] :( [04:22] yeik: okay, do you get the same errors from sudo dpkg --configure -a ? [04:23] Gnea: i am not familiar with that one. [04:23] <[Kai]Prototype> Anyone know if there is any repo with gtk3 in it? [04:23] ChogyDan: I will repost..... [04:23] needlez: You need to make sure the card you're trying to connect with supports the specific encryption type you're using on the AP [04:23] Gnea: well I remember you had kernel issues [04:23] yeik: try it, see if it fixes anything [04:23] Gnea: i ran it, said it ran find, now it does nothing when i type that [04:23] ansmission [04:23] YO [04:23] ChogyDan: well, I did get that latest ppa kernel installed, but having the same problem [04:23] how to upload files through transmission [04:23] kisuke, type in terminal - ssh -X username@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - then - type - update-manager & [04:24] soreau: how would I check that?? and it connects fine normally, I just wanna use wpa_supplicant so I don't have to keep re entering the password [04:24] Gnea: i was running a distribution upgrade... knew i have should avoided doing it when i wasn't here to monitor it the whole time. [04:24] yeik: ouch... [04:24] g_0_0: if you close the x session will that stop the updates and cause issues? [04:24] Gnea: yeah. [04:24] needlez: Ah, in that case you need to kill NetworkManager [04:24] yeik: I'm really not sure :( guess I'd start backing stuff up and just install 10.10 from the get-go [04:25] hi [04:25] needlez: or service network-manager stop [04:25] yeik, not sure why he wants to do it but he doesn't need to close it [04:25] ChogyDan: ok here we go... [04:25] basically I'm trying to get dbus to work on Ubuntu Server 10.04 amd64 (can't use Ubuntu Desktop because same thing happens and can't even get to the prompt to fix it during install phase) and during the pre-script, it attempts to run "dbus-uuidgen --ensure" and by default, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id comes up empty, so it fails.

What should I try next? Panic info: http://i.imgur.com/oLmO6.jpg [04:25] Gnea: could do that. except i would use xubuntu, and probably want to do a few things first. luckily this isn't the one with my web server. [04:25] kisuke, ah you're using putty [04:26] yeik: heh, I was going to say, if it was a production server I don't think you'd be helping others out in the meantime lol [04:26] g_0_0: i had x11 forwarding working the other day [04:26] Gnea: if it was a production server, i wouldn't have updated from lts to 10.10 [04:26] or 10.04 [04:26] yeik: indeed [04:27] kisuke, you would be better just connecting with ssh [04:27] Gnea: i wonder if i can start a remote x session. [04:27] g_0_0: how do you prepose i do that? [04:27] yeik: not sure how that would help the situation.... could compound the problems [04:27] kisuke, then in the terminal - type - sudo apt-get update - then sudo apt-get upgrade [04:27] Gnea: I really don't know. I would try a clean 10.10, and then maybe go straight to natty and post a bug report. You should get better help on launchpad [04:28] Gnea: i was thinking maybe if it works i know its not necessarily an issue with gnome-session? === zz_q_a_z_steve is now known as q_a_z_steve [04:28] kisuke, use putty enter hostname/ip address [04:28] yeik: u know how to run ccsm?

[04:40] it was originally formated with ubuntu, and then files were copied to it from ubuntu [04:40] so no [04:40] ok [04:40] ubottu is amaing [04:40] you may not have permission, try in terminal gksu nautilus [04:40] its incredible what it does [04:41] bastidrazor: I see! So if I rename my "scripts" folder to "bin" then it will be in the PATH, correct? [04:41] kreppnar: if it turns out that the device doesn't give you permission, you can use gksu nautilus to go in as root and reset the permissions [04:41] kf7nnz: yes, you will need to source ~/.profile or start a new terminal session. [04:41] now if i right click on the drive in the file manager.. i dont have the option to format [04:42] bastidrazor: Will it also be in the PATH for the graphical environemnt? [04:42] kreppnar: in terminal: gksu nautilus [04:42] kf7nnz: or, you can change that line in .profile to 'scripts' instead of 'bin' [04:42] yeah i did that [04:42] tried to remove the files [04:42] but no luck [04:42] and this is with more than one thumb drive [04:42] ooh more than one? [04:42] always mounting as read-only [04:42] now THATs a problem... [04:42] i just installed ubuntu 10.04LTS Server am at the terminal prompt. Need to install a windows manager KDE preferably how can i get this done? [04:43] ChogyDan: well, I've got a mostly working system now if I issue a dbus-daemon --system --fork on its own [04:43] sounds like a problem with usb from ubuntu [04:43] Gnea: what about /var/lib/dbus/machine-id? [04:43] KGBWolf: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [04:43] possibly i should try another usb port === a_p3rson[yellme] is now known as a_p3rson [04:43] ChogyDan: by-passed it with that command [04:44] Gnea: are you populating it? I think it needs a value [04:44] kreppnar: yes, and also make sure that the drives are readable from windows [04:44] ChogyDan: no, if I do that the system will panic [04:44] kf7nnz: you mean a clickable icon? [04:44] ChogyDan: it's a hack [04:44] Gnea: and dbus-uuis --ensure makes it blank? [04:44] kreppnar: otherwise, im out... [04:44] ChogyDan: yes. [04:44] hmm let me start up virtual box and format it [04:44] yeah switched usb ports and still no luck [04:44] odd [04:44] thanks for the help though [04:45] ChogyDan: I threw in some debugging statements before and after the command is run, it runs the first one, never makes it to the second [04:45] Gnea: does a plain dbus-uuidgen say anything? [04:45] bastidrazor: I want to associate the script I've created with a keystroke. If it is in the PATH, then I don't have to give a fully qualified name, right? [04:45] ChogyDan: yeah, it generates a random machine id [04:46] Gnea: yeah, I guess that bug report is your problem then [04:46] anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu? [04:46] ok any one know how to fix this: "MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 data did not match"? im tring to get X11 forwarding to work [04:47] kf7nnz: just give it the full path. no real reason not to if you're setting a shortcut. [04:47] ChogyDan: yup, flagged myself as having the same problem as well, haven't come up with anything to add to the conversation yet [04:47] kisuke: Did you use ssh -X? Are you using screen or otherwise running programs from a different shell than the one started by logging in via ssh? [04:48] bastidrazor: gotcha. I edited .profile, then opened a new term but ~/bin is not in the PATH. Do I need to restart? [04:48] Jordan_U: mostly im tring to firgure that problem is server or client-side [04:48] Jordan_U: the rest will flow from there === Cam_ is now known as Guest88474 === Shady|Studying is now known as Shaded [04:49] kisuke: For me to help you though I need to understand the exact situation. The reast will flow from there :) [04:49] ChogyDan: well, I now have a gdm login screen with a working nvidia driver and sound's working [04:49] Does anyone know where I can find a real crack for Illustrator CS5? Everything I've found has been a runaround. === lolcat^ is now known as user [04:49] !ot | Omen_20 [04:49] Omen_20: #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! [04:50] and software piracy is against channel rules [04:50] wow, the visual effects on this system are *amazing* [04:50] Gnea: I think you can edit the dbus.conf file to not run --ensure if you think that is the problem. How exactly do you populate /var/lib/dbus/machine-id? [04:50] kf7nnz: no need to restart. what did you add/remove in .profile? [04:50] I should make a small movie and upload it [04:50] ChogyDan: dbus-uuidgen > /var/lib/dbus/machine-id [04:51] bastidrazor: Nothing. I just renamed my scripts folder to bin. [04:51] Gnea: why don't you try putting that in your dbus.conf? [04:51] Jordan_U: im using PuTTY and xming on windows, it was working about 12 hours ago, and my server is a mostly headless ubuntu 10.04.2 desktop install [04:51] how do i build on ubuntu [04:51] i just installed ubuntu 10.04LTS Server am at the terminal prompt. Need to install a windows manager KDE preferably how can i get this done? [04:51] ChogyDan: that's apparently worked for others, but after I do that, somewhere along the way something causes the panic, I'm not sure what at this point and I really don't have the time to bother trying to fix it just now [04:51] ChogyDan: because it will just cause an endless panic on each boot [04:52] i <3 ubuntu [04:52] i c [04:52] kisuke: Are you using screen or otherwise running programs from a different shell than the one started by logging in via ssh? [04:52] Let me start again. To group. I have a TrippLite USB KVM switch. The docs state that Scroll_Lock Scroll_Lock will switch terminals in Windows or Linux. It doesn't work under Ubuntu. === q_a_z_steve is now known as zz_q_a_z_steve [04:53] hello, I just restarted my computer, and there is a sound file playing, but I cannot figure out what it is or how to kill it [04:53] <[THC]AcidRain> .

[04:54] !seen idleone [04:54] I have no seen command [04:54] gusl, run top in the terminal to see running processes. [04:54] it's a documentary on Jeopardy and AI [04:54] how do i kill an x session? ctrl+alt+backspace no longer does it. [04:54] yeik: alt sysreq k [04:55] yeik, sudo pkill Xorg [04:55] kf7nnz: echo $PATH does not include ~/bin in the newly opened terminal session? [04:55] bastidrazor: is there a way to do it so it doesn't restart? [04:55] yeik: in a terminal sudo service gdm stop [04:55] basitdrazor: Negative. [04:55] gusl: If you open System > Preferences > Sound, then go to the Applications tab, what applications are listed if any? [04:55] thanks, nit-wit! There are lots of processes but none of them look suspicious to me. [04:56] anyone had problems with transmission not getting peers list from trackers? [04:56] ... maybe npviewer.bin [04:56] bastidrazor: :~$ echo $PATH [04:56] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [04:56] Jordan_U: yes, i have XBMC running on its screen [04:56] <[THC]AcidRain> no one can help? [04:56] !please | [THC]AcidRain [04:56] [THC]AcidRain: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [04:56] hmm, ok, so i killed that, then ran startx. i get a gnome-session now. [04:57] Jordan_U: and it doesnot make sence, i was doing this just fine last night under the same conditions, and now it does not work [04:57] <[THC]AcidRain> lol [04:57] but still issues with dpkg and binutils-multiarch [04:57] <[THC]AcidRain> sorry [04:57] kf7nnz: http://pastebin.com/JMDvumTB your .profile is similiar to this? [04:57] I'm getting warnings about packages not being authenticated when I use aptitude - how can I investigate further? [04:57] ChogyDan: *interesting!!!* so I commented out the exec dbus-uuidgen --ensure line so that it would go ahead and run the exec dbus-daemon --system --fork at the end, and it kernel paniced again - but it doesn't kernel panic once the whole system is up and running [04:57] <[THC]AcidRain> stat1k: ive had that problem. [04:57] <[THC]AcidRain> especially from thepiratebay [04:57] hello folks [04:58] killed it! Thanks nit-wit. [04:58] stat1k: that question would be better suited for #transmission [04:58] bastidrazor: Virtually identical except for the last 3 lines.

[04:59] E: /var/cache/apt/archives/binutils-multiarch_2.20.51.20100908-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2 [04:59] <[THC]AcidRain> of course i have to change the recording device. but when i change it on this box, doesnt matter what i change it to it doesnt work [04:59] if i cant update apt-get because my network card isnt installed how can i install kubuntu-desktop?

[05:01] i changed my wobble friction to like 0 and it went off my screen === Guest36687 is now known as Gwar_Trolle [05:02] bastidrazor: No comments before those lines. That added bin to the beginning of the PATH. Now how do I make it do it every time I open a term? [05:02] kf7nnz: it should do it automatically. [05:03] bastidrazor: OK I'll try exiting and starting a new term. [05:03] bastidrazor: No, it doesn't add it in a new term! [05:03] when i do ifconfig i only see lo interface [05:04] kisuke: Walk me through all the steps that you use to try to run a program with X forwarding, up untill you get that error. [05:04] kf7nnz: comment those lines in ~/.profile and add those exact lines to .bashrc .. then try a new terminal. [05:04] kf7nnz: the newly added lines uncommented, of course. [05:05] I'm trying to get chat.frostwire.com to work with empathy but all it tells me is network error? I've tried with pidgin and it works, can anyone please help I've been at this for days now!

The docs state that Scroll_Lock Scroll_Lock will switch under either Windows or Linux. It doesn't work under Ubuntu. [05:10] Roo79, Many people do not use Empathy [05:10] raises hand [05:10] bastidrazor: I determined that the issue is Gnome isn't sending back the command to toggle the Scroll_Lock LED. The script ruens on and off the LED and this works for switching. [05:10] oh [05:10] Pidgin ftw, I even use pidgin on WIndows [05:11] so I'm running 8.10, which is apparently end-of-life - how can I update to something newer?

I've searched the Ubuntu forums and found no real solution (just workarounds) going back to 2004! [05:12] brb [05:13] xangua, I can read, all of the release schedules include the release version of LTS that are coming out [05:13] !schedule-#ubuntu+1 [05:13] A schedule of Natty Narwhal (11.04) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule [05:13] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/567205/ [05:13] tanx rww [05:13] What exactly is courier-mta?

[05:15] anyone got a script for irssi notifications that works with 10.10? mine is broken after upgrading. [05:15] maodun, no [05:15] maodun: no. You need to do 8.10 -> 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04, as the link ubottu gave mentions. [05:15] yeik, what are you trying to do, eat my database? [05:15] maodun: easier fres install [05:15] rww, bazhang, ah, thanks - i just wanted to double-check [05:15] ShaNayNay: i am just trying to upgrade, apparently i had a package that was all messed up and caused major issues in a dist-upgrade. [05:15] maodun, I'd do a fresh install, to include a new home [05:15] ShaNayNay: Did that, still sort of in the grey.

[05:19] wait, it tells me i need update-manager, but i dont want it on a CLI-server [05:19] so should i grab it or not? [05:19] just got a new server and installing ubuntu, I wanna make a cloud :) [05:19] why does ubuntu not support one of the most poplular phones ? [05:19] maodun: there should be do-release-upgrade instructions in there somewhere [05:20] rww: i'm following the instructions, they're a bit ambiguous to me [05:20] # update-manager is something you don't want to install on cli servers [05:20] maodun: oh, I see. Yeah, you just want update-manager-core, not update-manager [05:20] From version 6.06 and up you will need to install the update-manager and update-manager-core packages. [05:20] ahh [05:20] ok [05:20] so just the core [05:20] ok [05:20] maodun: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:20] maodun: update-manager-core contains do-release-upgrade, which is the program you'll be using to go from one version to another. [05:20] wow it just worked [05:21] can you windows environments on EC2?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [05:24] More specifically, I'd like to change specific colors of things like menus and change individual icons rather than icon sets [05:24] It doesn't seem there are a lot of customization options in gnome [05:24] PiemanXC: you can change those individually, but there is no GUI === Bridge| is now known as Bridge|A [05:25] vish: How would I accomplish that, then? [05:25] PiemanXC: you can edit the theme's gtkrc to edit the menu color, or replace the icons in the icon set. and you also need patience ;) [05:26] erg, i need to reboot this machine, but all i have is an ssh connection... anything i should check to be sure i'll be able to log in again upon reboot?

[05:41] Akjj: well try 777 [05:41] sacarlson: But that is damn unsafe [05:41] how do i restore the print menu item to the system administration menu? [05:41] I'll do it for a sec just to see of course... [05:41] Akjj: just to test, you can always change it back [05:42] Akjj: im a newbie but command line interface work only after asking for username and password. I have added username & password in apt.conf === Helpmerot is now known as sdlohnorI [05:42] sacarlson: As expected, yes I then get r/w access. But that isn't a good solution to me [05:42] What number does one use to get the S for super? [05:42] in a chmod [05:42] or is it even possible to use the number [05:42] scheme === sdlohnorI is now known as _Logan_ === root is now known as Guest43106 === _Logan_ is now known as Logan_WP [05:43] Akjj it depends on whether others use the system or not [05:43] ShaNayNay: This is running ubuntu server. It is an NAS [05:43] It is accessable to anyone on my rather large network if I screw up [05:43] Akjj: the in cli what does whoami say you are? [05:44] taran, you have no network connection [05:44] sacarlson: it gives my username [05:44] As expected [05:44] ShaNayNay: But then how I can download using Synaptic? [05:45] taran, you can't without internet [05:46] Actually, on second examination, I can edit already existing files but not create new. sacarlson, sorry for not adequatly testing that already [05:46] taran, what brand network card does it have? [05:46] just installed kubuntu-desktop how can i make it auto start on boot? [05:46] ShaNayNay: I can browse using Mozilla all the sites [05:46] KGBWolf, from login window [05:46] Akjj: Akjj and this is with 777? [05:46] nit-wit [05:46] No, with 775 [05:46] ShaNayNay: Im in my institute which provided internet from a lease line through a proxy [05:46] I already tested 777 and can create etc etc [05:47] ShaNayNay, yes [05:47] But back to 775 because I can't run a 777 dir accessable via samba [05:47] how do i restore the print menu item to the system administration menu? [05:47] nit-wit, I just felt like saying it [05:47] Anyone have a suggestion? Mouse will not move using touchpad under normal user, if I log in as root it works fine, it was always working until I turned off the touchpad via button over it briefly. [05:47] without harassing anyone [05:48] ShaNayNay, thats okay I practice it.:) [05:48] hi [05:48] hi [05:48] jim__ go to System Preferences Mouse and see if you can get it working that way [05:48] 国内的有么 [05:48] i'll give it ashot ty [05:49] writmx, please use english [05:49] !cn | writmx [05:49] writmx: 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 [05:50] do u know how to install "kwin " in kde3 as kde4 is not supported by my laptop [05:50] writmx: nihon'go?

I"m not using IPv6. I know it isn't really ubuntu related but thought i'd ask. [05:51] sacarlson: yeah, I already mentioned that that shows me as being in the group in question [05:51] anyone got any experience getting the BB curve to mount in ubuntu? [05:52] econ, that sounds like a good one to google [05:52] * ShaNayNay didn't mean that disrespectfully [05:52] shanaynay@ i already tried it its not working at all [05:52] Akjj, did you chmod +t dir at some point? [05:53] yeah, from what i've seen it is what a DHCPv6 client would send to a DHCPv6 server. I'm not running a server though so I don't get why I"m seeing it [05:53] Not to my knowledge g_0_0 [05:53] what does +t do? [05:53] !+t [05:53] at login screen when i authenticate the credential screen dissapears then comes back and im not logged into my desktop enviorment [05:53] akjj - sticky bit [05:54] if i want to learn programming should i install desktop or server? [05:54] g_0_0: So I should run that? [05:54] dtrf4837: doesn't matter which [05:54] akjj, here this will explain it [05:54] dtrf4837: Desktop has all the functionality server does. Go with whichever makes you comfortable. I use server because I prefer sshing in from my windows box [05:54] http://www.techcuriosity.com/resources/linux/advanced_file_permissions_in_linux.php [05:55] g_0_0: Ah, thank you very much [05:55] ShaNayNay: man chmod and it'll tell you [05:56] Akjj, this may be better - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit [05:56] hi how to make a shellscript execute on boot up of a mchine [05:56] thanks Akjj [05:57] my cyberlink webcam of laptop is not working ,i already installed cheese...........what should i do.............. [05:58] !webcam | sam9089: Have you read through this? --- [05:58] sam9089: how about you use an updated and supported distro, not one that used kde3 [05:58] sam9089: Have you read through this? ---: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [05:58] Starminn, thanx [05:58] doesn't 910 use kde3? [05:58] yeah..............its not satisfactory [05:59] is there a good programming tutorial, app? [05:59] interactive, or animation or etc.. [05:59] ShaNayNay: Sure thing. I, like you, often asked, "What's the $extension do?" and every response I got was to either "man it, infot it, whatis it, or apropos it" (usually one of the above) [05:59] actually........my cam is working (clicking) but it is not showing the pics [06:00] info* -- For quick answers, I suggest "whatis" but for the +t and such you're asking, man or info. Works every time ShaNayNay. :) [06:00] hi [06:00] o/ [06:00] i have a question, any here to help? [06:01] yup [06:01] I used to know what the S in permissions ment, but me forgot, something like super [06:01] sam9089: thanks XD [06:01] Akjj: so the sticky bit was set? [06:01] Actually, no [06:01] dohkogt: Plenty of people. Ask away, preferably all on one line so we can follow easily [06:01] I've been playing around to make sure before I asked again [06:01] how do i know if im using pulseaudio and its configured correctly? my microphone sucks in most apps, [06:01] whats ur question [06:02] But no, setting / unsetting / recursively and not in whatever combinations in the end doesn't actually change the issue [06:02] sam9089: i want to become Ubuntu Member, how I do this, you know? [06:02] Akjj: if it was I would think the dir would look like 1777 or s777 [06:02] sorry g_0_0, didn't quite work [06:02] sacarlson: actually, the permissions show a t at the end [06:02] dohkogt, there is a nice big wiki on it [06:02] So I want to remove mysql-server but when I reinstall it, it's still using the same configuration, I've tried using --purge but it doesn't seem to work [06:02] instead of drwxrwsr-x [06:02] !member [06:02] Want to become an Ubuntu member? Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership [06:02] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^there [06:03] ShaNayNay: ubottu hey thanks for the link :) [06:03] no problem [06:03] Akjj: that's if you put it in rwx format, not sure what it becomes in number mode [06:03] I've been slowly working on my application [06:03] oh, yeah, it is 1775 [06:03] Anyways. Any other ideas here? [06:03] Akjj, other than pulling the plug? [06:04] just kiddin [06:04] ShaNayNay: We've already established this is a net accessable server. [06:04] Not an option to even reboot [06:04] like I said, just kiddin [06:04] have you started a thread on UF? [06:04] Akjj: so is that what you see then 1775? then the sticky bit is set? [06:05] there are a few nerds there that may be able to help [06:05] sacarlson: The last few things I said to you were just information unrelated to my problem but related to sticky bits. No, the sticky bit is not set on mine. Yes I am pretty sure [06:05] Anyone know why a bad sector would not be able to be re-mapped? (Is this possibly a disk issue in itself - eg firmware fail?) [06:06] AndrewX192: Because there are no more extra good sectors left. [06:06] AndrewX192: Consider the drive to be on its last legs, back up now. [06:06] time for a new HDD before all the data gets lost [06:06] Jordan_U: there are plenty of good sectors though [06:07] AndrewX192: you should still backup. [06:07] I have 2X Segate ENTERPRISE grade drives on delivery right now, I'm just wondering what's up [06:07] AndrewX192: Drives internally keep extra sectors which are not normally used, to be used when a sector dies for some reason. [06:07] thanks guys for the link, Greetings From Guatemala :) [06:08] bye [06:08] gnea: need some help my radeon card is messed up. I cant even add line radeon.modeset=1 in my grub file kicks out error unknow command and i dont think acceleration is enabled. [06:08] Jordan_U: I'm seeing about 150 bad sectors on the disk in question via `badblocks`, but SMART only reports 6 sectors that are pending remapping. [06:09] AndrewX192: You don't just reduce the capacity of the drive by one sector. Once the drive runs out of extra sectors you're out of luck. [06:10] there might even be more then one graphics driver installed all i need is radeon but i have intel glx and all sorts of other awesomeness mixed in my koolaid [06:10] Jordan_U: how are "extra sectors" defined? [06:10] hi how do i add more of those wallpapers that change automatically [06:10] AndrewX192: Internally. Within the drive and not exposed directly when accessing the drive normally. [06:11] optimus: how are you trying to add it to grub? [06:11] Jordan_U: uhoh. I guess that's why, I guess I can partiion around the bad blocks [06:12] gnea: well under grub commands where it says 'quiet-splash' radeon.modeset=1 then i do sudo update-grub and i get error unknown command radeon.modeset= [06:12] AndrewX192: You can, rather you use e2fsck -c, but once the drive is at this point you can expect data loss as more sectors go bad, and eventually the drive simply fails completely. [06:13] optimus: so you're adding it to /etc/default/grub ? [06:13] basically nano to /etc/default/grub then [06:13] okay [06:13] gnea: beat me too it [06:13] ghm33, that is a hard task but look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4992430&postcount=4 [06:14] optimus: Can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub? [06:14] why i can not download this file : http://screencasters.heathenx.org/wp-content/videos/ep001.ogv [06:14] Jordan_U: I can just RMA the drive then when I get my new drives. [06:14] thanks ShaNayNay i find it odd that there are already existing default wallpapers and we cant either make our own or find more to add [06:14] optimus: try just: modeset=1 [06:14] jordan_u sure thing where would you like it pasted at [06:14] gnea: ill try [06:14] !pastebin | optimus [06:14] optimus: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[06:15] gnea: that works [06:15] ShaNayNay: oh ok thanks [06:15] optimus: cheers [06:16] optimus: apparently, different distributions handle it differently - if radeon.modeset= doesn't work, just drop radeon. [06:16] stay here : HTTP request sent, awaiting response... [06:17] not continue ... ! [06:17] mah454: could be a bad route on your end === ShaNayNay is now known as Shagneagnea [06:17] mah454: 75% [===============================================================> ] 11,767,531 78.2K/s eta 45s [06:17] gnea: willl this fix my desktop problem also? pretty much i have the menu bar at the bottom of the screen but its also at the top distorted when i click applications it pops the menu to the top of the screen and when i exit applications, it leaves behind a white window [06:17] sacarlson: g_0_0: problem solved. I closed that ssh and did a fresh session. Appearently a user doesn't get added to a group instantly. All better now [06:18] I should have thought to try that much earlier [06:18] ghm33 no problem, I had seen an app for doing that before, but have no clue where [06:18] optimus: I can't say for sure, you'll have to determine that when it comes back up [06:18] okay give me a few to reboot :0 === Shagneagnea is now known as ShaNeyNay [06:20] * Gnea eyes ShaNeyNay suspiciously [06:21] * ShaNeyNay guesses you didn't iggy me afterall [06:22] Shagneagnea@ i have a compaq laptop and its cam is not working even after installation of cheese [06:23] hi guys how can i set a variable with the output of a given command? [06:23] sam9089: did you try to recompile module? [06:23] which module [06:24] sam9089, I'm not that great at getting webcams to work, outside of installing Cheese [06:24] how do I tell ubuntu not to make that annoying noise when I sign on? [06:24] k........

In particular, relating to problems with hardware-accelerated graphics? [06:30] ^Phantom^: just pkill it [06:30] TheMusicGuy: Yeah,. What are you trying to do? [06:30] I'm on Ubuntu 10.10, just accidentally pressed Super+A and it zoomed out to show all windows. Where can I find more commands like that? [06:31] TheMusicGuy, are you trying to run Unity? [06:31] !nvidia | TheMusicGuy: [06:31] TheMusicGuy:: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:31] s/commands/kb shortcuts/ [06:31] juk, this has nothing to do with any of those cards [06:31] Hello, how can I edit .db file in Ubuntu? [06:32] Tanvir: Many apps produce .db files. What produced it? [06:32] Akjj, I'm trying to mix a dual-boot configuration with a virtualization configuration. [06:32] Akjj, I don't know. :S [06:32] TheMusicGuy: hm [06:32] TheMusicGuy, have you installed the guest extensions? [06:32] Do you know anything else about the file other than the extension? [06:32] Akjj, I want Ubuntu to use the ATI drivers when its running on physical hardware but Vbox drivers when its in Vbox. [06:33] g_0_0, yes [06:33] TheMusicGuy, are you trying to run Unity? [06:33] Akjj, no, can you tell me, how can I find out those? [06:33] running_rabbit07, I don't know what that is [06:33] ok, just checking [06:33] TheMusicGuy: You can't really do anything to stop it from using Vbox drivers in the vbos [06:33] vbox [06:33] ardchoille thx i tried that didn't know can press windows + a and get all windows thx [06:33] TheMusicGuy: Vbox does not provide access to your hardware to a guest OS. instead, it presents a custom video interface for guest OSes. you cannot just install the driver for your video hardware in a VBox guest. [06:33] Tanvir: Well, what's the use of a random file if you don't know where it came from or what's in it? [06:33] I'm a little confused about that [06:34] Taffy: try also super+w, super+e [06:34] TheMusicGuy, and did you set hardware acceleration in VirtualBox itself for the ubuntu machine? [06:34] Taffy: I'd love to learn more but don't know where anymore are [06:34] nice [06:34] tried it thx alot [06:34] g_0_0, yes [06:34] compiz fusion [06:34] Akjj, I know what's in it. It's a bot's database. [06:34] The problem is that it seems like the ATI drivers are conflicting with the Vbox drivers [06:34] Ah, it might be mysql or similar [06:35] ardchoille learn something new everyday :) [06:35] Akjj, probably. [06:35] If you cat it or open it in a text editor does it make human readable sense? If so can you paste the first short chunk or something? [06:35] Taffy: indeed. these seem to be part of compiz [06:35] the Vbox hardware accelleration only seems to work if the ATI drivers are not installed. [06:35] ati is not open source [06:35] Akjj: unlikely. more like Berkeley DB or somesuch. [06:35] lk: non are [06:36] mneptok: *shrug. My .db files are usually dumps of mysql dbs. Depends on circumstances somewhat. === running_rabbit07 is now known as SkyVodka [06:36] All the same, Tanvir, checking the first bit might show a human readable header with more info about the file [06:36] Akjj, it doesn't open with gedit. [06:36] Akjj did you find the fix to your permissions issue yet? [06:37] Akjj, but I tried worked cat, it worked.. but nothing useful I think.. [06:37] you can run a .db file through the strings command to possibly get the strings inside the .db: strings file.db [06:37] SkyVodka: Yes. I needed to do a new ssh session to actually become a member of the group. Log out log in >.< [06:37] Dooh! [06:37] glad it turned out to be easy [06:37] Akjj, The texts are all cluttered. :S [06:37] Tanvir: Yeah, strings file.db . Good idea ardchoille [06:37] * strings file.db | less [06:38] Akjj: dumps, yes. active databases, no. MySQL does not use the .db file extension [06:38] mneptok: Sure it does. When you're a dbAdmin extensions don't matter crap. You name files in the way that makes sense to you [06:38] mneptok: ah, thank you for that [06:39] hi, following the instructions on ubuntu.org, i applied the grub-install on a pc, first i used /usr/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda1 === Adrian_CNCERT is now known as Adrian [06:39] Akjj, you want me type "* strings filename.db | less " ? [06:39] <^Phantom^> Other than firefox crashing up the system when large images are opened within it, I absolutely love ubuntu. === Adrian is now known as Guest40293 [06:40] I figure I can put a script into rc.local that uses imvirt to detect whether the system is running in virtualbox or on physical hardware, then create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf that uses whichever drivers are needed to get hardware accelleration for the current system type (Physical or VirtualBox) [06:40] Tanvir: No. Try typing "strings filename.db | less" (no star) and see if there's anything useful in the output. [06:40] but then i discovered that this was the wrong drive so i did /usr/sbin/grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sda, this worked; BUT... now when i boot my pc the drive corresponding to sda1 i.e. c drive in windows is not available !!!! [06:40] how can i undo it [06:40] Problem is I dont know how to make an xorg.conf that uses the vbox drivers, and they don't seem to work automatically when ATI drivers are installed [06:40] Akjj, yes, I got a list. [06:40] A_User: You can boot into windows? [06:40] ^Phantom^, are you short on RAM? [06:40] If you can boot the C: drive should be there [06:41] *can boot into windows [06:41] <^Phantom^> SkyVodka, no [06:41] <^Phantom^> I have 1.5GB [06:41] Tanvir: Anything that might hint at the program that made it or such? [06:41] <^Phantom^> 2GHz pc, too [06:41] If you wanted to pastebin it I could look [06:41] ^Phantom^: have you tried chromium yet? I found it to be much faster and doesn't crash [06:41] ^Phantom^ why don't you try other navigator like chronium ? [06:41] <^Phantom^> Is this FF crash bug common? [06:41] I have had my RAM get loaded after loading too much porn without closing Firefox to clear the cache [06:42] Akjj, it's list of site that the bot will work on [06:42] flash vid ? [06:42] ^Phantom^: I use lynx on my comp with 128MB of ram and 1 ghz proc. It's great. Never crashes [06:42] Akjj, I need to edit that list [06:42] yeah I had it alot [06:42] <^Phantom^> This'll happen even on a fresh boot [06:42] ardchoille did u try windows + m neat [06:42] Tanvir: If it isn't sensative you could upload the file and i could try looking at it [06:42] Taffy: ugh, it's like film negatives! [06:42] ^Phantom^, that isn't kool then, does Chrome give you those issues [06:43] Akjj: NO [06:43] <^Phantom^> I haven't tried Chrome [06:43] or opera [06:43] A_User: Sorry, mind explaining the issue better. Will windows boot? [06:43] Akjj: when i try selecting windows in grub during restart, it again shows grub menu !!! [06:43] <^Phantom^> I'll be okay. I take note of what sites crash it. [06:43] Ah [06:43] Okay [06:43] Akjj, where to upload? [06:43] ardchoille on this computer it makes what i see brighter can see better [06:43] ^Phantom^, same here [06:43] A_User: Is it xp or windows 7? [06:44] Tanvir: I like mediafire. Wherever though [06:44] Akjj: yes [06:44] for flash player I often had crash with firefox [06:44] any one know of a was to mass rename a set of files? [06:44] People still use xp? [06:44] A_User: Which one [06:44] Akjj: XP SP2 [06:44] <^Phantom^> The biggest pic I dare open in FF is 1280x1024 [06:44] kisuke: use the rename command [06:44] Taffy: might be monitor dependent then, makes all my windows invert colors [06:44] <^Phantom^> any bigger and LOCKUP [06:44] A_User: Okay. Do you have the windows install disk? You might have to run fixmbr from the recovery console [06:44] yup [06:44] kisuke: rename 's/.html/.php/' *.html [06:44] maco: just rename fiel1 file2? [06:44] <^Phantom^> you too, SkyVodka? [06:44] A_User: I haven't worked with xp in a bit so my command might be slightly off [06:44] hi maco [06:44] I haven't tried a pic that big in a while [06:44] Akjj: even on ubuntu, in places i don't see my c drive partition !!! [06:45] <^Phantom^> But you get the same problem, SkyVodka ? [06:45] freeporndumpster poops itself with files that big [06:45] kisuke: that command would rename all the html files to be php files, for example [06:45] nope [06:45] is there a way to set the --geometry for gnome-terminal in your profile? [06:45] SkyVodka: uh, could you please keep it family-friendly? [06:45] yes sir [06:45] A_User: I'm pretty sure that you just overwrote the windows boot information. And running "fixmbr" and "fixboot" from the xp recovery console should be a good idea. [06:45] maco: i have the rename page up, gime a minute to wrap my mind atround it :P [06:46] Akjj: i agree, but why the drive is not being shown in ubuntu? [06:46] A_User, there no logical partition on ubuntu [06:46] Akjj, here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c53emccmk9c4gy9 [06:46] ardchoille think your right inverted everything in all my windows even web [06:47] Akjj: ok, but when i goto places, and select computer [06:47] A_User: Are you sure it isn't? It won't show as C. If you mount sdaNUMBER do any of them have your data on it? [06:47] Akjj: I can see others, but not the one that is identified as C in windows [06:47] Tanvir: It's an SQLite database [06:47] Taffy: I think all of these are compiz stuff. I remember seeing that inversion when I ran full compiz/fusion icon [06:48] Akjj, yes. [06:48] Tanvir: Version 3 if that helps. That's the most recent version [06:48] Akjj: no such entry either [06:48] Well, you can open that with the sqlite binary [06:48] Akjj, what should I install? [06:48] linux can see the windows disks,but windows can`t see the linux disks [06:48] http://www.sqlite.org/download.html [06:48] A_User: Hmm... Are you comfy with the terminal? I'd manually mount your devices and check em [06:49] It might just not be showing for some strange reason. [06:49] Akjj: ok [06:49] I don't trust file managers anymore tbh [06:49] lk, you should install 3d programs for windows like ext2read [06:49] Akjj, is there a command to run from terminal? [06:49] oh..i don`t know that,ths [06:50] Tanvir: sudo apt-get install sqlite3 [06:50] lk, well depend on your file system of course, but windows can only see ntfs and fat32, so any other need 3d tool [06:50] Tanvir: This might be tricky if you don't know SQL syntax. For example "SELECT * FROM `data` WHERE `name`="bob"; [06:50] Akjj: the MySQL/MariaDB storage engine you use can most certainly care about file name extensions.

[07:01] Well ih ad a question about the motd.d update stuff... but i figured it out! hehehe [07:01] Akjj: you wanted to perform certain command line operations [07:01] Akjj, then it says: [07:01] SQLite version 2.8.17 [07:01] Enter ".help" for instructions [07:01] sqlite> [07:01] Tanvir: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:02] Tanvir: Yeah, I'm out of help I think. Read up on SQL syntax. Figure it out. Your question was the format and we figured that out. Beyond that is not really a ubuntu question any more [07:02] A_User: The commands I suggested rely on you getting to the windows recovery console. That means you need to have a windows xp install / recovery disk [07:02] Do you? [07:02] Akjj, okay, thanks a lot. [07:03] Akjj: i dont have any recovery disk [07:03] :| [07:03] Akjj: does grub-install simply removes a partitiion [07:04] No [07:04] Akjj: then why it isn't available [07:04] It writes over the boot information (MBR or partition boot sector) [07:04] does the command find work off a cache? [07:04] trollgod: no. locate does. [07:04] Akjj: is there a way out, if i don't have a recovery disk for XP [07:04] maco: thanks [07:05] Lets say i have installed a program A on ubuntu using apt-get. The packet manager finds out there is an update to the program that takes up for example 54MB. Does the update then take 54MB more from the harddisk besides what program A already fills up on the harddisk or are some parts of the program removed first so that the 54MB is just replacing some parts of the old program or what actually happens? [07:05] A_User: There are alternatives to it. [07:05] Akjj: can u please suggest, which are those [07:06] A_User: I think super grub disk might have support for it?

[07:18] on the other hand, whenever i run it in the foreground it stays running for days on end until i try again in the background [07:18] A_User: each grub-install will just undo the last [07:18] boxbeatsy: try running it in screen [07:19] boxbeatsy: ask in #python [07:19] i'm not familiar with screen. how would that help?

[07:25] i'm just completely boggled and have no idea what could remotely cause this [07:25] jsn: is this one file or several?

[07:30] Can someone help me get some ubuntu/windows 7 sharing setup? [07:30] khanz: Sweet bro. [07:30] ah, i see. so is /etc/ssh/ssh_config just a default file that doesn't get read?

It uses ssh port 22 to connect and do scp file copying over a gui. Not as nice as samba but gets you there in the end. [07:31] jaywalker: that's the wrong file to edit, you want to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config [07:31] any hypotheses? :\ [07:31] Everything on the share is owned by "root", but its supposed to be owned by "brad" [07:31] kk, got it [07:32] this is a support channel, right?

It has never done this before today... [07:34] jsn: nope sorry [07:34] dont all distros come with sshd by default? [07:34] is there a way to get pulseAudio to stop skipping, or alternatively stop phy0 from spiking as often as it does? :/ [07:34] kisuke: okay no worries [07:34] It doesnt matter... i attempted to mount a share.... now im trying samba....

Am i screwed? [07:52] Are mount.smbs and mount.cifs the same? [07:52] how to use *.bin [07:53] KatronixServ: try http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/8-power-docks-for-your-linux-machine/ [07:53] kiwilatham, thanks [07:53] who can tell me ? [07:53] libaofeng: if it's executable you can do ./ [07:54] I think mount.cifs replaces mount.smbfs [07:54] how do i execute a ash-script on startup? [07:55] libaofeng: if ./ does not work, try first chmod +x then ./ === oden is now known as Guest21874 [07:55] kiwilatham: so mount.cifs uses the same command structure as mount.smbfs and supports the same options, etc.? [07:55] so I just updated to 10.10 from 10.04 because when I used the liveUSB, my DVD actually worked, and now that I've finished and fully installed my DVD player is broken again, is there anything I can do to diagnose the problem, if not solve it? [07:56] there are various methods of executing scripts on startup. When would you like to execute the file? During boot, or when you log in. [07:57] TheMusicGuy: I use mount.cifs with the -o switches to specify username and password at work to mount Windows2003 shares from inside redhat linux. I am sure ubuntu is the same. [07:57] man mount.cifs === ucenik25 is now known as MACEDON [07:58] hi [07:58] I love man commands. Ever tried a man date? or worse... A man mount? [07:58] dalltonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn [07:58] daco peder [07:58] pederrrrrrrrrrrrr [07:58] kosovar [07:58] MACEDON: Please stop. === ucenik21 is now known as makedonac [07:58] ajde [07:58] ok [07:58] im stop [07:59] Hey guys. I have an issue with bind, and the #bind channel is kinda quiet this late, so I thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone had any ideas. =) When I start my bind server it errors out saying it can't open "rndc.key" "Permission denied" This is weird because the dhcpd user owns that file. I still get the error when I make it a+rwx. What could possibly cause a world-read/write/executable file to deny permission to a deamon to open it? [07:59] Sorry, that's a large bit of text but it's a strange problem that baffling me. [07:59] kiwilatham: it seems that mount.smbfs is an alias for mount.cifs (same with man mount.smbfs) [08:00] TheMusicGuy: yeah. I guessed so. On my system mount.smbfs does not exist. But then I use a different distro. [08:00] Couldn't chdir to /home/steve/music: No such file or directory [08:00] kiwilatham: I was just wondering because I'm having some issues with file ownership and I thought it might be because I was using the wrong filesystem. [08:00] kiwilatham, Couldn't chdir to /home/steve/music: No such file or directory [08:00] Prinler: does /home/steve/music exist on your system? [08:01] yes [08:01] sudo smbmount \\steve-pc\mp3 /home/steve/Music -o username=steve, password=MYPASSWORD, uid=1000, mask=000 [08:01] is the username and password the username and pass from the windows machine? [08:01] ok remove the space after the comma. use forward slashes for //steve-pc/mp3 [08:01] Prinler: Music or music? it's case sensitive [08:02] i tried both [08:02] kiwilatham: also there isn't a "cifs.conf" in any of the man pages, only "smb.conf". It seems...inconsistent. [08:02] and yes - ensure case sensitivy is correct and that you have the username and password correct for the fileshare permissions on the windows machine. [08:03] i have a problem with my flash player [08:03] right. samba still uses smb.conf. The commands I suggested use cifs which is a filesystem type that mount will apply when mounting the share. Once we confirm this works we can start looking at configuring samba. [08:04] my browser crashes when i have more than two tabs for youtube [08:05] my system is updated but still the adobe flash player crashes..pls help [08:05] TheMusicGuy: file ownership and filesystem would be a new one for me. Have you checked everything else? IE: chown and chmod? Does ubuntu have SELINUX or an equivalent that is getting in your way? [08:05] mount.cifs: bad UNC (\steve-pcmp3) [08:05] how do i undo the mount? [08:05] so i can retry? [08:05] My DVD drive worked in the LiveUSB, but after install, whenever I insert a DVD (or any CD) the entire UI hangs for long periods, only responding to mouse movement but not mouse clicks, how can I fix this? [08:06] sudo umount /mnt/steve/Music [08:06] am i in the wrong channel? nobody seems to help regarding flash players [08:06] brverg: Can you restate your question? I'm sorry, I've been flitting in and out. [08:06] brverg: which player/browser are you using? [08:06] cpould you at least redirect me to the proper channel? [08:06] Someone here may be able to help you [08:06] the best practice is t re-ask your question every 20-30 minutes or so. :P [08:07] to* [08:07] !patience | brverg [08:07] brverg: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

Attempting to chown/chgrp does nothing [08:07] That's what I wanted [08:07] hi there, fellow Ubuntuers. I installed Ubuntu on my netbook and having some probs with the battery indicator. It shows how many percent that's left, but It just says (calculating...) on how much time there is left. [08:07] i use mozilla firefox with adobe flash player installed [08:07] Oh, it doesn't know anything about bind. :( [08:08] kiwilatham: same with chmod [08:08] CalvinMcGee: the best resource I've found with things that are laptop-specific(as this issue probably is) is linux-laptop.com [08:08] TheMusicGuy: are you mounting a FAT32 or NTFS filesystem? [08:08] TheMusicGuy: smbf/cifs is not a unix-fs, so you cannot use chmod/chown. you have to use mount-options [08:08] CalvinMcGee: that's the correct behavior, changes made to it [08:09] CalvinMcGee: there are forums dedicated to makes/models of netbooks, and most problems I've had, someone else has bhad and posted about [08:09] kiwilatham: ntfs [08:09] and some of them have solutions. [08:09] kiwilatham, umount: /mnt/steve/Music: not found [08:09] brverg: well, I haven't done anything yet, but if you give me some more info, I might be able to [08:09] nothing in the /mtn folder [08:09] CalvinMcGee: although it's likely that almoxarife knows more about this than I do, as he certainly seems more confident than I feel about my "check this out and hope it helps" answer. lol. =P === ElderDryas is now known as kuakkganni [08:10] almoxarife: So, I cannot see how much time there is left? [08:10] the flash palyer in my firefox crashes every time i open more than two tabs of youtube [08:10] llutz: I understand that cifs/samba is supposed to be able to "translate" permissions between operating systems when it is configured properly [08:10] llutz: er, not operating systems...you know what I mean. [08:10] CalvinMcGee: you can if you click on it, should open up to info [08:11] TheMusicGuy: and thats done with mount-options or when using samba, in smb.conf. [08:11] i regularly update the system but it still crashes [08:11] almoxarife: It says "time to empty: o seconds" [08:12] TheMusicGuy: check "man mount.cifs" for uid/gid [08:12] llutz: no, that's not what I'm talking about... [08:12] but everything is fine if i don't do tab browsing for youtube.. i mean viewing one video at a time is no problem.. + [08:13] brverg: are you using adobe's player? [08:13] *pulls hair out* [08:13] blasted google [08:13] ahaaa. I am not sure you are able to mount easily using mount-options when mounting an nfts drive. I have just read: FILE AND DIRECTORY OWNERSHIP AND PERMISSIONS in man mount.cifs [08:13] CalvinMcGee: I get the same numbers, and mine is fully charged [08:13] brverg: also are you using 10.10 or 10.04 (Ubuntu)? [08:14] boooo [08:14] TheMusicGuy: " kiwilatham: I can mount the filesystem without any problem, but everything is owned by root and it should be owned by another user. Attempting to chown/chgrp does nothing" this is what _i_ am talking about [08:14] almoxarife: well, mine is 37% [08:14] yes i'm using adobe's palyer [08:14] llutz: When mounting a share from a host that uses the "UNIX extensions," the client (Ubuntu in this case) should be able to determine the owner and permissions on a per-file basis...I thought.

I have a NAS running NFS. and I believe that it is running properly, because I see it both on the server (exportfs looks right) and the client (showmount shows the same info). I have a mountpoint on the client, with root as owner/group. Am I overlooking something?? [08:16] ubuntu==10.10 [08:16] that depends on whether or not the client negotiates UNIX extensions. The MusicGuy, Is this a USB disk or somwthing. [08:16] almoxarife: but on my other laptop, it works fine [08:16] kiwilatham, lemme try a ftp server.... if that dont work? $&^%#^&#$ im gonna buy a fing thumb drive [08:16] walk it over [08:16] CalvinMcGee: 10.4 ? [08:16] or 10.10? [08:16] kiwilatham: no...its a partition on the internal HD that is being accessed over the network. [08:16] how to install bery on ubuntu 10.10 [08:16] almoxarife: 10.10 on both [08:16] CalvinMcGee: 10.4 worked fine on mine [08:17] ok. try mounting using mount.cifs and adding the uid=xxx,gid=xxx options [08:17] these are the uid and gid from /etc/passwd and /etc/group files [08:17] almoxarife: crap... [08:17] Hi, i need help with setting up an ad-hoc network between a windows 7 and an ubuntu machine [08:18] kiwilatham, over my head. Like i said im just dipping toes into this. havent got that far to know 100% what your talking about [08:18] Prinler: Thrawn: Save yourselves both a huge headach and just insstall WinSCP on your windows machine and browse to the Ubuntu machine. [08:19] cool i got that app alrdy [08:19] brverg: the version of Firefox you're using is the one provided or are you using a different version? [08:19] kiwilatham: according to the man pages, won't that force _everything_ in the share to have the same uid/gid? (That's not what I want) [08:20] who [08:21] it's the one provided [08:21] CalvinMcGee: and then a ppa came to save the day, maybe, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/battery-status-ppa-finally-updated-with.html [08:21] kiwilatham: im complete networking noob :( got a link to a tutorial @ settings in WinSCP to get windows->ubuntu filesharing working? === richard is now known as richardr [08:21] TheMusicGuy: Look, I dont really know. It would appear that your client does not support Unix extentions. If you dont specify the UID / GID then the file permissions will be those of the user that executed mount. Is there a way to configure mount to be executed by a non root user? [08:22] how to install beryl on ubuntu10.10 [08:22] almoxarife: Yay! [08:22] kiwilatham: add it to fstab with "users" option [08:22] brverg: ok, one more question, 32 or 64-bit? [08:23] kiwilatham, Installed winscp gonna take a quick look see if i can figure it out [08:23] kiwilatham: My server is WIndows 7 Pro. My client is Ubuntu. I don't know what Win 7 supports. I thought it supported the Unix extensions, maybe it doesn't. [08:24] 32bit [08:24] Prinler: Excellent. It's handy for a quick file transfer here and there. Really good for ad-hoc stuff. [08:25] Its open asking me for info... privatekeyfile? [08:25] protocol? [08:25] TheMusicGuy: Maybe you should just give it a go huh? Try the fstab users option on the mount. That should allow you to mount the thing as a normal user. Alternatively try it with the commandline and see if it works. [08:25] Prinler: winscp needs openssh-server running on ubuntu [08:25] oh god [08:25] !compiz | bigbang [08:25] bigbang: Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz [08:25] llutz_ thanks dude.

[08:28] (in ubuntu) [08:28] Thrawn: "hostname" "ifconfig" [08:28] kiwilatham: Listen. Setting the uid, gid, and users options does indeed do exactly what you say it should do. I already tried it. However, that isn't the issue here. I can't just mount everything in the share with the same uid/gid and file permissions; that doesn't work for what I'm ultimately trying to do. I need separate ownership and permission bits for each file. [08:29] ok trusting [08:29] YAY! I see stuffs! [08:29] how ? [08:30] i love when it works [08:30] Prinler: what did you type in winscp?

[09:11] ok [09:11] Prinler: ans it waht i have on hand, im hopping to get a decent wifi card this next week [09:11] satya: if you are having a problem, it looks like your DNS setup is not working [09:11] ok. serious question now: How can I tigger a script to run as soon as I've established a LAN connection? [09:12] sacarlson: no, neither of those shows me what I want. I'm trying to figure out some info about my DVD drive [09:12] TheMusicGuy: /etc/network/if-up.d [09:12] llutz_: slick trick [09:12] not sure if it works with nm ... [09:13] llutz_: it won't, but it's still a great trick, I've noted it down [09:13] noticed "reason 3421 not to use nm" [09:14] ugh that is a keyboard-full [09:14] !find easy_install [09:15] File easy_install found in libchef-ruby1.8, python-distribute-doc, python-setuptools, python-zc.buildout, python3-setuptools [09:15] TheMusicGuy: llutz_: http://magazine.redhat.com/2008/07/22/networkmanager-secret-weapon-for-the-linux-road-warrior/ [09:15] i cant find the xorg.conf file [09:15] watching "social network" wow skillz [09:15] it's not in the X11 folder [09:16] Jordan_U: thanks, but ifupdown is much easier and well known :) [09:17] the problem is that I'm trying to mount a network share at boot, but the NIC isn't ready until after logging into X, so the mount always fails. [09:18] TheMusicGuy: don't use network manager and the network card will come up at boot before the login [09:18] TheMusicGuy: coonfigure /etc/network/interfaces [09:19] configure /etc/X11/x [09:19] oops [09:19] sorry [09:19] hi there, i have a problem. I want to return to the page before login. How can i do it? I'm using AuthComponent for login [09:20] luoluoluo: loginto what ? [09:20] luoluoluo: login to what [09:20] for example, i want show page admin/icons/index, but i'm not login [09:20] the auth component will lead me to the login page [09:20] after entering login name and passwords [09:21] i want to automatically return to admin/icons/index [09:21] luoluoluo: on what? a webpage? [09:21] luoluoluo: ask in #httpd that's an apache issue [09:21] man, my DVD drive is doing some weird stuff. It takes about 5 minutes for it to recognize a DVD and then it fails to mount it, I mount it manually and can play, but the system lags like mad. Anyone have any ideas what might be going wrong? [09:21] gaelfx: what kindof DVD drive? [09:21] how can i test postfix sending mail from cli? [09:21] can't I do this just by using stuff like loginRedirection? [09:22] brontosaurusrex: mail user@host.com [09:22] luoluoluo: ask in #httpd it's an apache module issue [09:22] ikonia: the NIC is a different device depending on whether the system is booted inside a virtual machine or on the physical hardware. If its on the physical hardware, the NIC is weird wifi USB adapter that needed special configuration to work. If the system is booted in the VM, its an emulated ethernet adapter. [09:22] yeah i'm over this now is there any other way i can do this ps/2 mouse deal or is linux just incapable [09:22] (which is bridged to the real USB NIC) [09:22] luoluoluo: loginRedirection in what? [09:23] TheMusicGuy: then you have to accept the limitations, a simple option would be to do the mount command in your login profile after a "sleep 120" command [09:23] luoluoluo: you're asking in the wrong place, but someone can probably tell you a better place to ask with a bit more information [09:23] ikonia: and error log will be.. ? [09:23] brontosaurusrex: /var/log/mail.err [09:23] kisuke: Pioneer, if that's what you mean [09:23] brontosaurusrex: the postfix error log, the mail log and the screen [09:24] how do I add a volume control to the panel [09:24] gaelfx: try loading a DVD then run "dmesg | tail" from a terminal [09:24] hmm, no errors, just mail didnt get where it shoudl [09:24] kisuke: kk, hang on [09:24] brontosaurusrex: has it left the mail queue [09:25] brontosaurusrex: do you see it being acceptabed in the mail log [09:25] it'll take at least 5 minutes before I can do that [09:25] Darwin4Ever: do you see it being sent in the postfix log ? [09:25] gaelfx: when you do finish that use a pastebin. [09:25] ikonia: left the quote, let me check the mail log [09:25] !PB > gaelfx [09:25] gaelfx, please see my private message [09:25] gaelfx: no problem [09:25] no worries, I know about pb ;) === there is now known as sint === sint is now known as ehjo [09:28] uf, what would be the correct logs? [09:29] brontosaurusrex: you said you'd checked the logs [09:29] kisuke: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567248/ [09:30] ok, got connection timed out from smtp server [09:30] there we go then [09:30] hi [09:30] ikonia: How about this: Since the network share comes from the host operating system, it won't be available when running through physical hardware anyway. (In this case the same files are available on an actual hard drive partition) That being the case, I don't need to mount any shares when in physical mode...so can I optionally turn NM off when in the VM? [09:30] TheMusicGuy: not really no [09:31] how do I add a volume control applet to the panel [09:31] gaelfx: run "dmsg > ~/dmesg.txt" and pastebin it please, that raised more questions than it answered [09:31] hey yall [09:31] robertzaccour: hey [09:31] ikonia: btw I can detect whether or not the system is in a VM at boot by using imvirt [09:31] sorry, entered wrong channel.... [09:31] TheMusicGuy: doesn't matter [09:31] anyone know which laptops would be best for running Linux? [09:32] jatt: right-click on the panel->Add to Panel...->Indicator Applet [09:32] robertzaccour: look on the Linux supported lists, they are the best ones [09:32] I am pulling teeth to figure this out. I now have the latest drivers for my GTX 295 cards but still can't get the HDMI working. I have gone so far as to restart the install of 10.10 to confirm that HDMI is working because I see commands on the HDMI Screen. Does anyone have any idea how I can get HDMI to work when I start ubuntu as now it only works with DVI :( [09:32] I think I'm gonna put Win 7 back on this thing and be more selective with my next purchase [09:32] Starminn: thanks that worked [09:32] jatt: Not a problem. :) [09:32] ikonia: there isn't a script I can modify to conditionally start NM? [09:32] robertzaccour: dell is usually decent, what you looking to do? [09:32] TheMusicGuy: no [09:32] robertzaccour: hp laptops are a pain on the neck [09:32] ikonia, preinstalled Linux laptops a safe bet? like system 76 and things like that? [09:32] jatt: Agreed. HP in general has it out for Ubuntu. [09:33] robertzaccour: that's a safe bet yes, but also there are non-preinstalled laptops that are supported [09:33] kisuke, being able to record a screencast without turning compiz off [09:33] robertzaccour: dell had linux preinstalled some time ago I bought one of them and worked fine, I think they don't do it anymore [09:33] Starminn: that's nonsense, please don't talk nosense in here [09:33] basic compis for running docky. can't even run basic compiz with a screencast. i can but it won't record right [09:33] robertzaccour: thats more relatedto who made your GFX card then who put the PC together [09:33] ikonia: I'm sorry but can you please provide a little more information than just "no, you can't?" Is there page that can explain why it isn't possible, for example? [09:33] i face a problem in Ubuntu LTSP server [09:34] ikonia: I concede, it wasn't a factual piece of information -- I've just had bad experience with incompatibilities with them. HP I'm sure has nothing against any Linux distro, really. I withdraw my previous statement. :) [09:34] i have made this for OUTBOUND callcenter [09:34] TheMusicGuy: it's not possible beacuse network manager/not-network manager isn't enabled/disabled in a config file so it's awkward to manaipulate [09:34] manipulate even [09:34] but the voice quality and voice break are @ high level [09:34] jatt, I usually hear good things about hp and linux compatibility [09:35] got an emachines 3527-2537 right now [09:35] what program do you use to make a media server computer? [09:35] and now i get another error called failed to connect NBD server [09:35] Prinler: there are many options available to you, it depends on a lot of things [09:35] Prinler: what research have you done so far? [09:35] Prinler: xbmc, mythtv, lots more on google [09:35] any help of ubuntu ltsp [09:35] none [09:35] :) [09:36] uff === sirneo is now known as SirNeo [09:36] I wish there was a website with select systems that confirmed no graphics issues [09:36] kisuke: http://paste.ubuntu.com/567250/ [09:36] looking at video cards and cables online :0 [09:36] robertzaccour: the laptop I'm using right now is an hp laptop (the company provided it to me), you can run ubuntu on it, however I had very bad experiences with other hp models, so for me they are a neck in the pain to use with linux [09:36] Prinler: ok, a little research on the web will narrow it down a little, then we can help you with specific questions [09:36] i wonder which computer make is most linux reliable? [09:37] dell? [09:37] failed to connect NBD server ? [09:37] kisuke: if you want me to trim that, I probably could [09:37] robertzaccour: I've told you, look at the compatible linux lists [09:37] gaelfx: thats what i was afraid of, either your DVD drive is loose or its dieing a slow painful death [09:37] Well i used xbmc...... I hack Xbox 1's and install it... Bad a$$! I also make them into full scale arcade machines :p [09:37] ikonia, link? [09:37] robertzaccour: this isn't really anything to do with ubuntu [09:37] !hcl > robertzaccour [09:37] robertzaccour, please see my private message [09:37] robertzaccour: www.google.com [09:37] ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:37] noob question - I accidently assigned a default program to open drives with.. where do I go to change default programs? [09:38] !default > morgan__ [09:38] morgan__, please see my private message [09:38] kisuke: really? cause it had no problems in LiveUSB [09:38] robertzaccour: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops?action=show&redirect=HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops [09:38] Prinler: im using that as the core of my HTPC lol [09:38] www.google.com my god [09:38] hello [09:38] jatt: ? [09:38] gaelfx: reading from the DVD drive? [09:38] HTpc? [09:38] jatt, thanks [09:38] you are welcome [09:38] how do I file a bug against googleearth? [09:39] it crashes [09:39] Prinler: Home Theater PC, what i called a MCPC eariler. [09:39] suigeneris: talk to google [09:39] all these terms lol [09:39] ikonia: Surely there must be a script that starts the necessary services/registers the necessary system hooks. Looking in /etc I see various scripts related to network-manager [09:39] kisuke: correct [09:39] TheMusicGuy: there isn't [09:40] gaelfx: thats weird... [09:40] kisuke: that's exactly what I said when it happened [09:40] ikonia: then how does it work? [09:40] hang on, I'll try starting it up live again [09:40] gaelfx: i missed that then. [09:40] Playing a video especially in full screen mode causes flickering - i tried some stuff like setting TexturedVideo in the X11 Options to off. But after the reboot the screen stayed black and i had to restore the x11 config. Any other ideas? [09:40] hmm - is there a list of default apps for mime types in ubuntu.. open with isnt helping [09:41] it's an application that is loaded as part of the desktop component, it's either loaded with network card configs, or without any (null) which in effect disables it [09:43] ikonia: that implies that there's something somewhere that starts the service when the desktop starts. Perhaps a component of the X11 suite of startup scripts? [09:43] TheMusicGuy: no, it's part of the desktop [09:43] TheMusicGuy: if you don't believe me, go and do some research instead of asking if it's possible, I tell you it's not really possible and you arguing it is, despite asking if it is [09:43] what is not possible? [09:44] ikonia: I am. [09:44] wow, got postfix working with gmail smtp relay [09:44] jatt: dynamically enabling/disable nmapplet and then either populating/unpoppulating the interfaces file depenidng on location [09:44] and of course populating/unpopulating the networkmanager applets config stored within gnome [09:44] ikonia: ok, nmapplet. that right there helps me. [09:46] kisuke: ok, well, it takes about a minute for it to show up, but I didn't have any of the sluggishness during that minute [09:46] but in any case, I'm going to have to pick this up tomorrow. its late here. [09:46] wierd then it sounds like a bad driver, how long has this been going on? [09:46] I wish there was a list of computer models alphabetized by model make and number [09:46] im upgrade my os [09:46] robertzaccour: this isn't an Ubuntu issue [09:46] gaelfx: wierd then it sounds like a bad driver, how long has this been going on? [09:46] for good hardware support i mean [09:46] robertzaccour: this isn't an Ubuntu issue [09:47] thank ikonia, llutz [09:47] *thanks === taka is now known as Guest88593 [09:47] TheMusicGuy: you could fiddle with 2 interface-files which were switched by a check-script, detecting if you're running vm or not... [09:47] ikonia, it is to me === oden is now known as Guest42574 [09:47] robertzaccour: it's not to the channel [09:47] so whats the point of swap? [09:47] kisuke: ever since 10.04 [09:48] llutz_: how would that disable/enable nmapplet outside of gnome ? [09:48] kisuke: it's the reason I updated to 10.10, which I'm very nearly regretting at the moment [09:48] so it just started in 10.04? when you installed it? after an update? when? [09:48] ikonia: inside vm: interfaces-file with enabled eth0 would cause nm to ignore that interface [09:48] ikonia: just a thought [09:48] it wouldn't ignore it, it creates a conflict [09:48] my system gets to using 90% of RAM and then just starts locking up with apps freezing etc ... and swap is at 5% capacity!? ... whats up with that? [09:49] kisuke: ever since I installed the DVD drive actually (I didn't have it in my box initally) [09:49] or is swap just for "looks"!? :P [09:49] ikonia: wait... if one configures i.e. eth0 in /e/n/interfaces it shows as "ignored" in nmapplet. doesn't it? [09:49] zetheroo: swap is for inactive apps [09:49] gaelfx: open up the computer, and reseat the drive, if that does not work try a diffrent slot, your dmesg is telling me either the drive is bad or its gota bad conenction [09:50] llutz_: I've only ever seen it create conflicts, beyond what it says [09:50] gaelfx: meaning? if they are inactive why bother having them in swap? [09:50] ikonia: llutz: sorry, I'm going to have to pick this up tomorrow; I need to go now... [09:50] kisuke: I'm starting to suspect it has something to do with my mobo [09:50] !swap > zetheroo [09:50] zetheroo, please see my private message [09:50] zetheroo: swap is for incative apps that you are running but are are not fully active for what ever reason. [09:51] ikonia: i haven't tried that too, so it was just an idea [09:51] gaelfx: like i said, try diffrent ports on the mobo [09:51] it's valid, but practically, I don't believe it works [09:51] think like when you're using tabbed browsing and you're only looking at one or two tabs [09:51] kisuke: I guess I'll have to give it a go [09:51] kisuke: maybe they are inactive due to a system freezing up!? ... ha .. I just don't get why automatically there is this 5GB swap partition created and it's basically useless ... [09:52] kisuke: it might be a good excuse to make a new box though :D [09:52] zetheroo: how much physical ram do you have? [09:52] my clients could not ping with hostname but it ping with ip [09:52] zetheroo: more like they are running and not doing any thing so go to swap [09:52] gaelfx: 2GB ... I know .. I should have 4 or more ... but alas ... [09:53] clients connected webserver through wireless router [09:53] zetheroo: and what kind of apps are you running when this happens? [09:53] kisuke: I really cannot think of when that would occur [09:53] 4GB usually isn't necessary unless you're doing a lot of things at once [09:53] i want to access ip 192.168.0.1 on a remote site through a ssh tunnel.. how do i do that? [09:53] zetheroo: firefox when minimised has an option to do that [09:54] gaelfx: FF, Thunderbird, VirtualBox (running a VM with 512MB RAM usage), Skype ... that's about it [09:54] my clients could not ping with hostname but it ping with ip [09:54] clients connected webserver through wireless router [09:54] zamba, have you access to the internet-router of 192.168.0.1? [09:55] satya: wonderful ... but why are you telling me? :) [09:55] i configured apache2 and bind servers. [09:55] zamba, you have to use the public ip of the net... not 192.168.0.1, which is a local one [09:55] satya: yeah .. I don't really want to know ;) [09:56] rumpe1: no, that's why i'm going through the internal machine [09:56] rumpe1: i know this is possible with ssh [09:56] rumpe1: and tunneling [09:56] clients could not connect with the hostname, but connected with the ip [09:57] satya: ok ... your just being bothersome now [09:57] zamba: google for reverse-ssh tunnel [09:57] zamba, sure... tunnel to the host with the public ip or its forwarded port [09:57] llutz_: thanks [09:57] zamba: thats what you need if you can connect TO a site, just make it reverse [09:58] llutz_: hm.. [09:58] can't [09:58] llutz_: i think i have to rephrase my question [09:58] Has anyone else had NFS problems, when updating to Meerkat(10.10)? [09:59] i have access to a computer that's inside a network, through a forwarded port 22.. that way i can connect to the public ip of the host which gets me on the inside (192.168.2.9).. now i want to access the web gui of the router, which is at 192.168.2.1, through this ssh tunnel.. is that possible? [10:00] zamba: generally, SSH and GUI don't go together [10:00] how do you forward to port 22 [10:00] notroot: DNAT [10:00] gaelfx: err [10:00] tnx [10:00] gaelfx: this is a tunnel [10:01] gaelfx: x11 forwarding... [10:01] notroot: you set up the router to forward all traffic on the port 22 to a specific IP address of a computer connected to a router [10:01] zamba, has 192.168.2.9 Gnome or something? then use ssh -X (or ssh -Y) and start webbrowser on .2.9 and enter router ip [10:02] zamba: well, can't you open up a browser then and navigate to the IP? [10:02] rumpe1: no xlibs [10:02] rumpe1: so no [10:04] zamba: create a tunnel with ssh -D 7070 (socks-proxy) to your server and access it from a local browser configured to use socks5 port 7070 localhost [10:04] fuck off [10:04] !language > xichen_ [10:04] xichen_, please see my private message [10:05] an excellent opening line, but not particularly useful [10:06] Ok, myth TV.... whats an easy way to control it? with out a mouse?

Headphones works. Any ideas ? [10:11] I'm having an issue with dhcp3-server where a client requests an ip address, that request is logged in syslog, dhcp3-server performs a "DHCPOFFER" to that machine, and the client just sits there. It seems to never recieve the offer. I'm not sure if this is a client issue or a server issue. Does anyone have any tips to get me started troubleshooting? The client can recieve an address via dhcp from other dhcp servers. [10:12] ohzie: can you tcpdump on client to check if offer reaches the client? [10:12] ohzie, if the server is a bit far from the client, maybe the offer is lost [10:12] llutz_: windows client. :( I don't know how to tell. [10:12] ohzie: you have athird machine? [10:12] ohzie, increase the wait time of the client [10:12] Hi there, the only way I can attach network files via firefox is going to /home/user/.gvfs/files on ip/location/location which works well.

[10:23] from source? [10:24] jatt, ppa [10:24] S2Do: I'd imagine you can just install it like any other font. Download it and throw it in the ~/.fonts folder (make .fonts if it isn't already there) [10:25] Hi there, the only way I can attach network files via firefox is going to /home/user/.gvfs/files on ip/location/location which works well. Can I make a shortcut to that somehow? I tried a launcher with custom location but that failed [10:25] how do I get all my sensors to show up on sensors-applet?

[10:29] tehbaut: I'm not sure hfs+ supports writes [10:29] apparently even with hfsprogs installed, the system still only mounts them as read-only [10:29] how did you mount it? [10:30] did you use -t? [10:30] via nautilus :) [10:30] ah, I don't know if it supports write, just wondered about the easy mistakes [10:30] gaelfx isn't it hardware according to capability [10:30] I have a question aswell anyway [10:30] I have installed ubuntu 10.10 on two different comps with the same soundcards [10:30] on 1 it works out of the box [10:31] on the other the realtek hda doesn't come o [10:31] n [10:31] WOW xbmc is amazing [10:31] I broke alsa completely while attempting to manually do stuff [10:31] Starminn, basically the .gvfs list the network locations, going in that way I can attach network files, so if i goto that route I can see my files [10:31] and now I'm reinstallig ubuntu and wondering if anyone has encountered the problem or this is a bug or something [10:32] I should really try xbmc on my mediapc [10:32] Msr Try newer kernel from ppa [10:32] hello there [10:32] tehbaut: i thiunk you need to turn the jlournaling off http://superuser.com/questions/84446/how-to-mount-a-hfs-partition-in-ubuntu-as-read-write [10:32] is it ease to changekernel ?

[10:32] is it ease to changekernel ? [10:32] biji: yeah, but when you install sensors-applet initially, it tends to miss a tong of sensors, at least, it did when I installed it [10:33] ppa is a repository? [10:33] spmccann: interesting, I'll check that out... thanks :) [10:33] Yup probablu there is new driver for your soundcard [10:33] hello anyone there ? [10:33] is it easy to change the kernel ? [10:33] my sensors applet only has HDD and GPU temps, how can I get it to recheck for sensors? (I know my CPU and a couple other sensors should show up at least) [10:33] that depends rtyuio [10:33] hi rtyuio [10:33] i think i got a custom kernel [10:34] which means ? msr_ [10:34] changing the kernel can be problemless or break everything depending on the changes between kernels [10:34] hi spmccann [10:34] So easy using kernel-ppa [10:34] rtyuio: step back and tell us the problem you are trying to solve [10:34] Im on 10.4 using 2.6.38 kernel [10:34] well i can't able to install a package via apt spmccann [10:35] Just find backported kernel [10:35] still the card worked on another comp [10:35] so chaging the kernel sounds...

[10:52] hi [10:52] Guest84602: vlc uses built in decoders that are not used by the system4 [10:52] so that isn't a good test I think [10:52] ok gimme a min [10:52] I am using 11.04, where should I go?

[11:00] Jordan_U i tried the ffmpeg command but it tries to over write the original file (when i let it do so on a copy it created a stream with no data) [11:00] hey anybody around for a little dual booting help? [11:00] Symmetria: "\x27" [11:00] Belger: yeah, you can actually just do sudo gedit or nano [11:00] crash82: don't need to hear it [11:00] kingofthething: such ask [11:00] kingofthething: what's up? [11:00] Oops sorry i on a virtual machine spmccann [11:00] Guest84602: Sorry, my mistake. That should have been "ffmpeg -i foo.flac foo.mp3" but that doesn't appear to be working on my end either :( [11:00] ahh ok i will try [11:01] ok thanks [11:01] I made a live usb of ubu 10.10 earlier today for my first trial on linux [11:01] love it and want to dual boot my windows 7 [11:01] kingofthething: ok, so what's the question ? [11:01] lol [11:01] Guest84602: "ffmpeg -i foo.flac foo.wav" then "lame foo.wav foo.mp3" does work. [11:02] thank! [11:02] i clicked install ubuntu on my live usb start up prompt, picked install along side and then i chose the partition [11:02] Guest84602: You're welcome. [11:02] kingofthething: what's the question [11:02] kingofthething: yeah it happened to me the other day, it partitions, but doesn't format, just format it to exf4 [11:02] the installer crashed during it and now that partition that was created is still there [11:02] wow now can i read the letters but the WM reset is already there...

[11:04] out from win7 [11:04] Belger: that is not a dual boot situation, [11:04] ok [11:04] kingofthething: you need to be specific "doesn't get me anywhere" doesn't mean anything, what is the problem [11:05] here nobody is helping [11:05] thangavel: you need to ask a question [11:05] kingofthething: can you click on the partition that you created, and choose a format [11:05] first of all I just want to get rid of the created partition then ill ask about getting into an actual dual boot [11:06] help me to resolve this...Unable to exec g++.real: No such file or directory [11:06] thangavel: that file does not exist on your system [11:06] kingofthething: why do you want to get rid of the partition now?

[11:07] ok now i guess i need to ask how to get it to be an actual dual boot [11:08] kingofthething: do you remember seeing advanced partition during the install? [11:08] yes [11:08] thangavel: how did you installed g++? [11:08] <_Fury> Hi. [11:08] build-essential is the answer [11:08] kingofthething: you need to go into the advanced partition, and tell me what you see [11:08] using sudo apt-get install g++ command [11:08] kingofthething: also, i assume you're using 1 hdd? [11:09] '~$ sudo e2fsck /dev/sdb1' reports at the end: "WD1.5_1: 2661/64004096 files." What do these 2 numbers mean? [11:09] hello all [11:09] <_Fury> My headphone jack does not work.

[11:11] Hi i'm trying to run VLC over SSH but it says it cant find a display [11:11] I have a dhcp3-server config that's not working right. With multiple clients, the server sees and logs the DHCPDISCOVER and responds with a DHCPOFFER and it's not being recieved. I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting, other than: I have the problem on multipl clients so I'm gonna say it's a server problem at the moment. [11:12] Excuse me whats the command again to see what kernel version I am running ? [11:12] ya..any program in c++ is giving this error..c programs works fine.. [11:12] tommy: uname -a [11:12] _Fury: Consult your computer's handbook. The command 'alsamixer' may be of help too. But sometimes you can only find additional information by googling for your computer type. === tommy is now known as Guest48825 [11:12] !intelhda | _Fury [11:12] _Fury: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [11:12] uname -r [11:13] ahh [11:13] thank you all [11:13] thangavel: what does whereis c++ show you? [11:13] llutz_: But inodes and files are different things. Can you elaborate. [11:13] kingofthething: so basically for some reason the installer creates a partition, but it doesn't format it, so you need to get into the advanced partition in the installer, and then (right ?) click on your partition, you'll get an option to pick a format for it, i chose exfat4 (or exf4 or something), and then you have to choose a root directory, there are a bunch of options in the dropdown, choose "/" w/o the "", it'll format the pa [11:13] rtition and continue to install, Win 7 will say you need to run chckdsk for some reason, but for me there was no "corruption" so you can bypass that next time you go into win7 [11:13] Depends: g++-4.4 (>= 4.4.1-1) but it is not going to be installed [11:13] Depends: gcc-4.4 (>= 4.4.1-1) but it is not installable [11:13] forget it [11:13] g++ is useless in that state [11:14] install another version or something [11:14] i see in the internet back track is ubuntu modificated is true? [11:14] <_Fury1> If i plug in my headphone to the lineout, the sound still comes from the build in boxes... :(. [11:14] p4g3: yes; it has its own channel [11:14] how to insyall another version of c++ instead of g++..plz help me [11:14] kingofthething: Ext4 journaling file system for "Use as:" and for "Mount point:" "/" [11:14] !backtrack > p4g3 [11:14] p4g3, please see my private message [11:14] irc.thebox.bz/#thebox.bz [11:14] thangavel: remove the existing one, install the new one [11:15] thangavel: use synaptic [11:15] ok [11:15] so, any idea for reset the Terminal? (control-L only clear) [11:15] reset [11:15] kingofthething: for "primary" and "beginning" for the other options [11:15] that should be it i believe [11:15] !synaptic [11:15] synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager.

[11:16] ianparkinson62, why are you posting that irc link? [11:16] bullgard: check with sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sdb1 | grep "Inode count" [11:17] i have opened synaptic..now what to do?? [11:17] use it [11:17] the howto is above [11:18] Guybrush88: Change /path/to/directory/*.flv to /path/to/directory/*.flac [11:18] thangavel: I have g++ installed 4:4.4.3-1 on this system on 10.04 so it must be avalable [11:18] kingofthething: after that ubuntu will install into that partition, dual booting is taken care of because when your computer restarts after the installation there will be a bootloader GRUB 2 that allows you to choose between Ubuntu/Win7/whatever other OS [11:18] dude you are compiling a c++ program, no way synaptic is difficult for you :) [11:18] Jordan_U: can not ffmpeg convert directly to mp3 ? [11:19] thangavel: if you don't see g++ then try another repository miror site in synaptic [11:19] erUSUL: I'm sure it can, I'm just too tired to figure out how at the moment. [11:19] ok thanks a lot, ill be back on if i have trouble but hopefully because it works and im running ubuntu [11:20] Jordan_U: for file in path/*.flv; do ffmpeg -i "$file" "${flac%.flv}".mp3; done [11:20] Jordan_U: btw you use *flv as the glov but then in pe you use flac ??

[11:20] Jordan_U:glob* [11:20] kingofthething: good luck, i'm gonna head to bed, but i'll still be on, feel free to PM me, hopefully you'll be on ubuntu, GL, and please message me if it worked too, makes me feel good that i could help [11:21] Jordan_U: i think you need medibuntu enabled for mp3 in ffmpeg to work [11:21] erUSUL: Ahh, that's probably the problem on my end then. As for the incorrect glob I corrected myself about that already. [11:21] g++ is not present in my synaptic monitor [11:22] sorry for before. first time on irc. found channel i want [11:22] thangavel: did you try change repository mirror site in synaptic [11:22] how to do that..sry if i'm irritating by asking simple questions [11:23] Jordan_U: you surelly need a rm "$tmpwav" somewhere in there the rest looks ok in a quick read [11:24] how to change repository mirror site in synaptic??

[11:28] borgeshsmorg, yes your external ip may be dynamic but if you tell your router to "save" the internal ip your server has now you can then setup port forwarding to that ip as your internal ip shouldnt change [11:28] hello..plz direct me..

[11:29] borgeshsmorg, affraid.org isnt any differnt in ease of use with regards to setup/use and most routers support it as much as dyndns [11:29] thangavel: yes in the webpage and in synaptic [11:29] thangavel: what is the issue ? [11:29] borgeshsmorg, sorry afraid.org [11:30] Wulfy thanks for the advice. [11:30] borgeshsmorg, no worrys [11:30] hi all, how do I make my processor fan spin constantly at max speed? [11:30] karmic-koala: it depends if your bios supports the acpi interface to linux and has a controller program [11:30] karmic-koala: the easiest way would be to use your bios [11:31] thanx for ur interest but that is a long story..sombody is already guiding me...once again thanx..if i need any help i'll seek... [11:31] rumpe1: sounds promising, but i'll wait for more stability. too bad there's no simple way to undo updates yet..it seems too often that updates introduce new bugs. [11:31] karmic-koala, why not lot it regulate itself? [11:31] currently i issue the command pwmconfig and press ctrl C when fans are at max speed [11:32] bc81, afaik fedora (?) uses it to make snapshots before each update... and you can easily copy the snapshots to another partition for backup [11:33] bc81, it really has some nice features and will be the linux-filesystem of the future (afaik) [11:33] llutz_: The difference is identical to the first e2fsck output number. As you predicted. -- Thank you very much again for your help. [11:33] Wulfy would I need to do the same with the router if I wanted to set up a private IRC daemon set up a STATIC address for the same server and asign a port number? [11:33] bc81 try looking at this http://maketecheasier.com/backup-ubuntu-with-remastersys/2008/12/22 [11:33] hello, anyone tell me where is the sorce code of the gnome terminal in ubuntu 10.04 [11:33] Wulfy, coz the fans don't spin half as fast and processor temp goes to 65+ degrees celcius if kept on automatic [11:34] on full speed proc temp is around 30-35 [11:34] borgeshsmorg, you would use the same internal ip and simpley port forward to the irc dameon port so you would open 80,6667 (for example) [11:35] i want to see the source code of the gnome terminal [11:35] karmic-koala, fair enough [11:35] I see. So using a Windows client such as I am using I would enter server..net [11:35] spmccann: that looks really interesting, thanks [11:35] hi to all..I have Ubuntu and Debian on my PC...I installed graphic driver on Ubuntu and now I get only screen with wallpaper-no panel,nothing..can I fix it from Debian? [11:35] hmm... [11:35] it is now server for india..which one to choose now...???? [11:36] Wulfy, hi , can you tell me where i can find the source code for terminal? [11:36] Wulfy, gnome terminal? [11:36] i certainly have SATA drive in my lapto yet it is reported as PATA in Disk Utility [11:36] any 'software' way to do this, Bios only has two options - minimum fan speed - slow or none [11:36] how come? [11:36] borgeshsmorg, no you would use ip:6667 (unless you was using dyndns etc [11:37] other options r server for uk,main server...which one to choose??? [11:37] yourwhiteshadow: the installer crashed again... [11:37] shyguy1188, please dont direct questions at me im currently assisting someone else [11:37] Wulfy, sorry. [11:37] I give up [11:37] 3L37AM [11:37] Laters [11:37] r u here??? other options r server for uk,main server...which one to choose??? [11:38] Wulfy so I would enter server.28.222.15.21:6667 just as an example? [11:38] other options r server for uk,main server...which one to choose??? [11:38] hi all [11:38] hi you [11:39] thangavel: why do you want to change servers ? [11:39] borgeshsmorg, no unless you have a domain name such as one from dyndns you cant use server.ip.net:portnumber you have to use ip:port [11:39] yourwhiteshadow: thoughts on what i should do...? [11:39] anybody tell me the source code directory for gnome terminal [11:39] i certainly have SATA drive in my laptop yet it is reported as PATA in Disk Utility. how come? [11:39] shyguy1188: there isn't one, you have to download it [11:39] herm, why does this package not exist in 10.10 #: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gosa&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all [11:39] shyguy1188 in a terminal apt-get source no need for sudo, the source code will end up in same directory as the term is in... [11:39] I see. On this client I can enter /server irc.freenode.net and log in here. [11:40] hi to all..I have Ubuntu and Debian on my PC...I installed graphic driver on Ubuntu and now I get only screen with wallpaper-no panel,nothing..can I fix it from Debian? [11:40] sata/pata its a standard [11:40] somebody told me that could be a reason for not being able to install gc++ in my system [11:40] zlatan: how did you install the driver [11:40] thangavel: they are wrong, the problem is not g++ is't the fact that the command you where doing wanted to find g++.real (note the .real) [11:41] ikonia, through additional drivers [11:41] so what to do now?? [11:41] So I would enter: /server [11:41] ikonia, i want to study some package so that i can understand the working. can you tell me some package on which i can try some hands [11:41] why i can't send files or photos to someone else using pidgin and conected to yahoo messneger? [11:41] borgeshsmorg, that is because the domain irc.freenode.net translates into a ip as they have domain records set for it once you get a domaion name from afraid.org or dyndns you can then setup A records for your ip which will then translate into domain name > ip [11:41] alright looks like the guy who was helping me earlier might not be around...anybody else want to help me with my dual boot problem? [11:41] shyguy1188: download the source code to any package you want [11:41] iflema, ok let me try. [11:41] ikonia: what to do now?? [11:42] thangavel: what are you trying to build ? [11:42] shyguy1188: maybe http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/maverick/gnome-terminal [11:42] ikonia, is there any site or link from where i can start as a beginner, coz i don't know that much working of linux, but i'm studying it.(trying) [11:42] I see. I was trying to make it a bit easier for people that I want to log into my server once set up. I also would like to set up chat web pages where others can talk in real time. I suppose a DNS daemon may help there too. [11:42] shyguy1188: change to the directory of your coice. Then '~$ apt-get src genome-terminal' [11:42] shyguy1188: what languages do you program in ? [11:43] i need to install gc++..u told build-install..but was not installed..

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [11:43] ikonia, c,c++ i know good [11:43] thangavel: the problem is the file your application wants is g++.real (note .real) [11:43] thangavel: what application are you trying to build [11:43] shyguy1188: well hello world printed to standard out is a good start at most programing for me [11:43] ikonia, rest i know basics of python [11:43] hi there, i bought a new laptop and wants to move over to the new laptop [11:43] shyguy1188: change to the directory of your choice. Then '~$ apt-get src gnome-terminal' [11:44] i installed sbackup and used it to do a manual backup to a portable hdd.

[11:44] borgeshsmorg, can you please add my name to your messages so i can track them, and yes as your WAN ip will change every now and then it is best to setup a dyndns account [11:44] How do put a specific port on transmission (bit torrent) client [11:44] I think I get the idea Wulfy. Thanks. [11:44] sbackup told me background backup using process id 3955, but i see nothing happening to the destination folder inside the hdd. please helkp [11:44] borgeshsmorg, no worrys [11:45] hello? anyone?

[11:54] Using GParted I unmounted the external USB partition /dev/sdb1. I did e2fsck successfully. Now Disk Mounter applet 2.30.0 does not mount this partition any more if I press "Mount WD1.5-1". How to fix this? [11:55] bullgard: what does it say if you try to mount it [11:56] thangavel: but it does say but 4:4.3.3-1ubuntu1 is to be installed so I guess you do have c++ already installed [11:57] thangavel: opps to be installed not is installed sorry === SirNeo is now known as sirneo [11:57] this was a pain, but i think i delleted all old outgoing stuff, also whats up with /etc/aliases ? i never had to setup that before [11:57] i don't know sir.. [11:58] ikonia: '~sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media' did not complain. But the Disk Mounter applet disappeared. [11:58] sir as u said i changed the server to uk server..what to do now [11:58] bullgard: sounds like a bug, log it [11:58] ikonia: ok. [11:58] thangavel: changing the server to the UK is pointless [11:59] ikonia: that was my idea, I thought he couldn't find a package that should exist [12:00] i certainly have SATA drive in my laptop yet it is reported as PATA in Disk Utility. how come? [12:00] mam etc/apt/sources.list pops up as a window..do want those snapshots??? [12:00] Bushman: what makes you think it's reported as PATA ? [12:01] thangavel: I want you to paste the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list into the pastebin [12:01] thangavel: I also want you to run "sudo apt-get update" for me [12:01] thangavel: just update and see if it installs, but now you have some broken package so what's the fix for that? [12:01] well, i can read, ya'know [12:01] Bushman: ok, but what is it that makes you think it's pata [12:01] it is reported to ME, the user [12:01] Bushman: how, what is the wording [12:01] let me quote [12:02] Location: port 1 of PATA host adapter [12:02] : yes it ofen says E: Broken packages whenever i try to install gc++ [12:02] thangavel: I give in, if you refuse to do what I ask you to do, you're on your own [12:03] Bushman: what make/model laptop is it ? [12:03] sorry mam..i'm copying.. [12:04] it's a low-end acer extensa 5200 [12:04] a crappy thing must admit [12:04] mam the url is http://paste.ubuntu.com/567290/..

[12:05] Bushman: doesn't have to be good, I just want to check the actual chipset, it can just be a wording error, or a parallel controller, with a serial interface [12:06] but there that does not shows any broken packages..that column is empty there... [12:07] :mam i've pasted the sources.list contents here http://paste.ubuntu.com/567290/ [12:08] when i use my FAT32 formatted USB pen drive Ubuntu see's it as full. it has a hidden folder called .trash1000 with files inside. Does Ubuntu have a way to 'cleanup' the disk space or should I remove this folder? [12:08] codemagician: for fat, I'd suggest you manually manage it [12:08] codemagician: I thought it was decided at some point that that should get emptied when you eject, but I could be wrong [12:09] what is gc++? [12:09] ikonia, so can i just remove the .trash1000 directory? [12:09] thangavel: you have an ubuntu 9.10 CD in an ubuntu 9.04 machine, it will cause a conflict [12:09] overclucker: he means g++ but keeps saying gc++ for some reason I think [12:09] ikonia, it has .trash1000/files .trash1000/info [12:09] overclucker: he means g++ [12:09] ah ok [12:09] ikonia, im using Windows XP wrote these [12:09] and he's tried installing build-essential? [12:10] : what to do now mam?? [12:10] ikonia, and that this method is Windows XP specific? [12:10] overclucker: ask him, he's all yours :) [12:10] is there a list of wifi adapters the works as of 10.10? [12:10] thangavel: well then close synaptic and try sudo apt-get install -f [12:10] how can I get the proper drivers for my intel mobile graphics for ubuntu maverick [12:10] jrib, did you mean Ubuntu will empty it? [12:11] or are they already included? [12:11] : ya right now i'm running that sir... [12:11] sacarlson: look at his source.list it has conflicting 9.10 and 9.04 repos [12:11] codemagician: check and see. I think I remember something like that, but am not sure [12:11] ikonia: ok cool I'll look closer [12:11] thangavel: have you installed build-essential package? [12:11] overclucker: styop [12:11] jrib, yes sir. it prompted and knew about this directory [12:11] overclucker: stop [12:11] overclucker: look at his sources.list it has conflicting packages, stop telling people to do things blind [12:12] codemagician: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/12893 if you like history [12:12] jrib, so does seem like Ubuntu uses this hidden directory [12:12] Ubuntu bug 12893 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Shouldn't put .Trash-$USER on removable devices" [Low,Triaged] [12:12] like how does it have the proper drivers for my computer alreasy (maverick) [12:12] hello,i just installed Pinguy a linux distro and my touch pad is not working [12:12] codemagician: yeah, if you delete things from the usb, they go in there [12:12] malama_: why don't support pinguy here, only ubuntu [12:12] this is ubuntu [12:13] : mam right now i'm running update command as u said.. [12:13] Djlbert: yea its based on ubuntu [12:13] jrib, aha.. that's okay then. I will not delete it and let the OS take care of it when I eject. I'll take a read of that article [12:13] jrib, thanks [12:13] malama_: we don't support it here, only ubuntu [12:13] ah, i see [12:13] thangavel: you have conflicting repos you have a 9.10 CD in === eastesk is now known as kisuke [12:14] I installed ubuntu (maverick) on my acer aspire 5735 now everything works but how do I know its the most up to date drivers? I just dont understand that [12:14] ikonia: do would you recommend were i can get help [12:14] Djlbert: if there are more up to date packages, it will offer them to you [12:14] malama_: no idea [12:14] ikonia: I see it has a cdrom of karmic and all else is jaunty for thangavel, so if he just comments out that line and update it might work? [12:14] Djlbert: they may not be, but they are usually proven to work [12:14] wherwe [12:14] sacarlson: depends if it's installed things from the CD, in which case his system is in conflict and broke [12:14] : do i need that cd now mam?? if so,then i have with me mam [12:15] what would I do to check [12:15] Djlbert: nothing, it will offer them to you if they exist [12:15] what is needed for .PNG to be supported in Ubuntu? [12:15] ok because I just am not sure if my screen can set to the highest resolution [12:15] the transparency wont work [12:15] protonbart: how are you determining this? [12:16] well it works on one ubuntu 9.04 machine, and then on another less updated it doesnt [12:16] protonbart: how are you determining this? [12:16] ikonia: thangavel: ya I think your right it's probly hosed, I'm not sure how to fix it without a reinstall [12:16] jrib: well it works on one ubuntu 9.04 machine, and then on another less updated it doesnt [12:16] sacarlson: that's the best position to take for this level of mix up [12:16] thangavel: yup reinstall time [12:16] protonbart: right, see I repeated my question because that's not an answer to it. Anyway, I'll ask a different one and we can come back. How old is this ubuntu? [12:17] 9.04 [12:17] ok it seems everything is great [12:17] protonbart: 9.04 isn't support anymore anyway, you should upgrade [12:17] !9.04 | protonbart [12:17] protonbart: Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [12:17] s/support/supported [12:18] yes i know that btu upgradign is nto an option.....any other ideas?

Upgrade to a supported release. There's no point in even debugging 9.04 [12:20] thangavel: you some how have part new and part old sytem, you can't go backward and you can't move forward with a broken system [12:20] keastes, can you please brief me a little about it/? or a link to where I can set it?

[12:29] if you guys know a good joy 2 keyboard mapper software let me know [12:29] !maverick > medfly [12:29] medfly, please see my private message [12:30] ohzie: look on the client logs and setup, if the offer is getting sent out, it's the client [12:30] if i already have an ext4 partition made on my computer, will wubi allow me to choose it? [12:30] kingofthething: yes [12:30] I cant set the keys in desume to my xbox controller [12:30] thanks [12:30] Djlbert: you've said 10 times now, we get it [12:30] hmm [12:30] I am searching through this mirror to find the amd64 download. it was hard to find the link on the website. [12:30] thanks [12:31] I guess ill never beable to fix it then ive looked everywhere [12:31] this is probably th eonly thing windows is better for [12:31] Djlbert: you've waited about 5 minutes for a response, if you wnat to give up now, that's fine by me [12:31] no I wont [12:31] Djlbert: it's extremely easy to map keyboard buttons on linux === Hexadecimal is now known as BinaryBLob [12:31] how though [12:31] Djlbert: you don't need a special program for it === BinaryBLob is now known as BinaryBlob [12:32] medfly: it's for an xbox controller [12:32] like I want to use my xbox controller as a keyboard [12:32] is there a list of wifi adapters the works as of 10.10? [12:32] is that easy? [12:32] never used one of those :/ [12:32] !hcl | keastes [12:32] keastes: 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 [12:32] Djlbert: no [12:32] keastes: linuxwireless.org [12:32] its just a usb gamepad basically [12:32] I've actually begun having more trouble using windows than ubuntu. I shove in my wireless USB stick. "I can't seem to find a driver for this" - worked out of the box on ubuntu [12:32] ^^ [12:33] erUSUL: that usually works, but ive got a wireless card thats gone crazy as of 10.10 [12:33] http://www.xboxscene.com/articles/controller-linux.php [12:33] ikonia: That was my initial belief as well, but I've seen it happen on three clients now [12:33] hi [12:33] Djlbert: research the xmodmap file in linux [12:33] k [12:34] ikonia: and when I turn off dhcp3-server and start the dhcp service on the windows machine, the clients pull IPs fine. [12:34] i want to disable cupsd from starting at boot, how can i do this? [12:34] ohzie: ahh, are these part of a windows domain ? [12:34] OH WOW okay I just made headway [12:34] how to search for a channel here?? [12:34] Djlbert: check out my link, it seems to be specific for it. I can't vouch for its credibility, though. [12:35] I got a client to pick up an ip, a windows XP client [12:35] thangavel: look on www.freenode.net for usage [12:35] and it says its dhcp server is " [12:35] "127.0.1.1" <-- [12:35] :once again thanx. [12:35] th0r probalem is finding out the values for the xbox controller buttons [12:36] otherwise that would seemingly be very easy to do [12:36] This is weird. [12:36] with xmodmap [12:36] ( ;_;) [12:36] hi all [12:36] Djlbert: there is a program for that, but I don't recall what it is. You run it and when you press a button it returns the keycode [12:36] yeah thats exactly what I need [12:37] there's no netbook amd64 thing? odd. [12:37] medfly: 32bit processors [12:37] can someone tell me whi i can't send files with pidgin when i am loged on yahoo messenger [12:37] did anyone successfully configured .htaccess password authentication on ubuntu for gitweb ? [12:37] ilea: not supported [12:37] ikonia: ya, I know. I just happen to have a 64bit processor [12:37] Djlbert: a simple search would solve your issue http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=keycodes+for+linux [12:37] or any other cgi script ? [12:37] medfly: that's why it doesn't exist though [12:37] thanks [12:37] ikonia: I don't understand :S [12:37] there is a chat app that suports sending files?

[12:42] <^Phantom^> I thought I was still in OT [12:42] what's on the nebook version anyway? just a different window manager configuration? [12:42] ikonia: what could cause a client to think its dhcp server is 127.0.1.1 when it is not that at all? [12:42] <^Phantom^> sorry [12:43] ohzie: ask the guys in ##windows, however I do know there can be problems with windows machines not accepting DHCP offers from servers that are non-members of the windows domain [12:45] what is Mod4+P i don't have any binds in shortcuts [12:45] ohzie: maybe your local ubuntu is running the dhcpd ? [12:45] th0r when I press buttons on my xbox controller nothing comes up in xev [12:45] but it works for my mouse and keys lol [12:45] sacarlson: What? [12:46] it flicks my screen [12:46] juk: Switch display. [12:46] ohzie: that's one of the localhost ip [12:46] io: ah [12:46] sacarlson: The client that's getting that as its dhcp server is not running the dhcp server. It is a windows xp client. the dhcp server is 192.168.1.20 [12:47] juk: It can be disabled using gconf by setting /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/xrandr/active to false.

Please notify the administrators. [13:05] newbie_001: edit your ~/.profile (use the example there with ~/bin as a guide) [13:05] sbaumgar: reload the page [13:06] http://paste.ubuntu.com/567300/ [13:06] newbie_001: and if you are trying to add ~/bin then ~/.profile already does that.

[13:07] one [13:08] all i did was to plug in the mouse [13:08] citas? [13:08] guitar431: there is ubuntus cloud for one, dropbox, e-mail, (s)FTP, sneakernet. [13:08] i never installed something [13:09] #stefan [13:09] sbaumgar: no the built in profile for that mouse is borked [13:09] guitar431: A number of ways, preferably I'd use SFTP if they're networked. [13:09] okay, you know how to fix it? [13:10] So can anyone give me a hand with my video card issues? [13:10] Guitar431 if you set up both computers to log into the IRC you can DCC send data to the other computer. [13:10] Fshy: What issues? [13:11] how do i make a file it treminal? [13:11] dustin: touch$filename [13:11] dustin: touch $filename [13:12] lol thanks borgeshmorg [13:12] sbaumgar: not off the top of my head, just out of curiosty can you unplug the mouse run "lsusb > ~/lsusb.txt" plug the mouse back in run "lsusb > ~/lsusb1.txt" and then "cd ~ && diff lsusb.txt lsusb1.txt" [13:12] will do [13:12] is there another way to transfer files other than sftp (6Mb/s higher)? [13:12] wired [13:12] io: I installed fglrx, but it seems that a lot of graphics stuff got borked after that. [13:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/567299/ [13:12] That's what I get for doing anything, like fglrxinfo [13:13] sbaumgar: also, you can type the first couple letters of someone's nick then hit tab and the name will auto complete and ping the person you were talking to [13:14] juk: netcat would be a low-level way of doing it. See http://oreilly.com/pub/h/1058 [13:14] So all in all, I got nothing. I looked up a few things and found.....nothing that really helped me. [13:14] I just recently stumbled upon an article showcasing some nice ubuntu themes (and an app that handled it I think), now I cant find it anywhere meh [13:14] Anyone know what it might be?

[13:15] correct [13:15] Pici: ah, thanks, yeah i was thinking sftp wastes trafic on crypting, when security isn't issue [13:16] kisuke, the led was blinking and now it is off again [13:16] sbaumgar: ok now im lost, and im fried enough for lack of sleep that im not gonna be much good, good luck [13:17] kisuke, thx [13:17] sbaumgar: np [13:17] dustin: its a blank page [13:17] http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_set_up_Wake-On-Lan_(Ubuntu) [13:17] 1 [13:18] HOW-TO set up Wake-On-Lan (Ubuntu) [13:18] dustin: its still a blank page, if you are editing it, you need to save it first [13:19] :o its dustin !!!

[13:34] KGBWolf: space after the "tar" [13:34] no just the 'nm' command/executable you type in a terminal. it shows details of 'a.out' / dynamic libraries '.so' [13:35] juk - what I'm trying to do is set the memlock to unlimited for a user and when I su - ulimit -l returns 64 no matter what I do. [13:36] hi all, i just installed a hardy chroot and would like to retrieve important packages such as X development libs etc - is there a package (nnnn-common) i can point to using apt-get, to retrieve necessary development utils and libs? [13:37] JunkyJames: go to System >> Preferences >> Startup Applications: Add [13:37] jeromatron: it shows for me too, and unlimite [13:37] bc81: sorry, i forgot to mention im ubuntu server :P [13:37] jeromatron: 64 is unlimited [13:37] ls [13:37] Stormshadow: not really, there's build-essential and then *-dev for whatever you want. But hardy is EOL soon, why not use lucid or maverick?

[13:38] Stormshadow: no. [13:38] JunkyJames: i haven't used server edition, but maybe check ~/.config/autostart ?? [13:39] ok would have to install these serially then [13:39] thanks to JATT too [13:39] JunkyJames: what do you want to run exactly? [13:39] jrib: a php script in the background with root privileges [13:40] JunkyJames: I suppose you can use /etc/rc.local or root's crontab (with @reboot) [13:41] jrib: how does @reboot work? [13:41] JunkyJames: you use @reboot for the time specification in your crontab and the command gets executed once, at startup [13:42] jrib: oh ok cool beans ill try that thanks [13:42] JunkyJames: « man 5 crontab » mentions it [13:42] would installing lucid or maverick restrict me to a recent version of libc? I would like to use libc2.7 [13:43] !info libc6 lucid [13:43] libc6 (source: eglibc): Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries. In component main, is required. Version 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8 (lucid), package size 3691 kB, installed size 9360 kB [13:43] hello! is it possible on ubuntu 10.10 amd64 to use two graphic cards (nvidia 9600 gt) with 4 screens (each 1920x1200) with just one x-server? i installed the proprietary nvidia-driver (from ubuntu repository) but i could just configure all screens when i run an x-server for each card. [13:43] Stormshadow: yes, it would restrict you to a recent version of libc [13:43] thats my dilemma; many things compiled for libc2.7 [13:44] Stormshadow: k, just realize hardy is EOL this april [13:44] whats the su password for ubuntu 10.04 lts server? [13:44] hmm, thanks jrib, will note that and start thinking about upgrading libc [13:45] !root | KGBWolf [13:45] KGBWolf: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [13:47] Hi all [13:47] hi BluesKaj [13:47] im using sudo but i still get an output that says Permission Denied [13:47] KGBWolf: show us what you are doing exactly [13:47] KGBWolf: if you runs: groups are you in the admin group? [13:48] so i can expand the ubuntu desktop with twinview to 2 screens, then i have to select to use a seperate x-server to activate the 3rd and 4th screen again in twinview... is it possible to just use one desktop on all 4 screens? [13:48] can this command:$sudo apt-get -f install, harmful?? [13:48] I am getting some error when i update my source manager [13:48] induz: apt-get will ask for confirmation before doing anything possibly harmful [13:48] Hey guys what is the best program to emulate pastebin and imagebin? Any good links? [13:48] induz: not really, it just continues installs and fixes things [13:48] it forces, all force can be dangerous :) [13:49] so i can use that command [13:49] induz: yes, just read the output [13:49] is it safe to uninstall ubuntu-desktop. I mean, I know it's a meta package and it's empty, but will it break my system for future updates ? [13:49] hi ActionParsnip , ths sudoers fileon my other pc is corrupted somehow , unable to open ir with visudo or any other metod , can't update or upgrade ...any suggestions ? [13:49] ravee: i suggest you read: man apt-get before advising [13:49] BluesKaj: update-manager will reinstall it on upgrades I think [13:49] erm [13:49] BluesKaj: boot to root recovery mode and repair [13:50] BluesKaj: I can pastebin my virgin file which you can then simply copy over the top [13:50] I am not getting any error Now [13:50] ActionParsnip, yeah , I tried that , no luck [13:50] Blorg28: update-manager will reinstall it on upgrades I think.

[14:45] !ports [14:45] For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall [14:45] llutz, okay :) [14:45] !firewall :) [14:45] vooze , where u from? [14:46] KGBWolf:your paste? [14:46] how make it easy? [14:47] gnewb, BluesKaj , juk, yes but how can i disable it from starting at boot? :s [14:47] Nautilus > Places shows the partition »WD1.5_1« of an external USB hdd. Why does right-click > Mount not mount this partition? (No response.) (Using GParted I had unmounted it and checked it successfully using e2fsck.) Disk Mounter applet cannot mount this partion either. [14:48] bullgard: we spoke about this earlier [14:48] bullgard: why are you asking again [14:48] isnt msgfmt supposed to be inside gettext-base? [14:49] ikonia: Because my problem is not solved even if I report an error to Launchpad. [14:49] quit [14:49] TuGa: http://www.linuxtutorialblog.com/post/tutorial-disabling-unused-daemons-to-speed-up-your-boot-sequence [14:49] bullgard: ok, but it's a bug, so what do you expect people to do in here [14:49] bullgard: if it's a bug, it needs fixing, so keeping asking in here won't fix the bug [14:50] ikonia: I see your point. [14:51] bullgard: so there is no work around to mount it at all? [14:51] there is a work around, it mounts fine manually [14:51] it appears to just be a bug with the applet [14:52] bullgard: ikonia: there problem solved, make a script to do it and make botton to run the script [14:52] sacarlson: So far the only workaround that I have found is that I can mount it using the command-line command 'mount'. [14:52] For example i have [sudo apt-get ] typed in console and now i double-hit TAB and bash offers "clean, install, update, ..." options.... How to setup setup this behavior fo my script? [when i have typed my_script i want bash to offer my deffined options] [14:52] sacarlson: we know the work around, but bullgard wants the application fixing, hence why asking in here is pointless [14:53] basy: not going to happen [14:53] I have dualboot ubuntu and win7 and when I turn on pc there is GRUB bootloader and I want to put windows on first place [14:53] hi, everyone! need help: my kids' comp is running under #ubuntu 10.10. My main cimp is under WinXP. How can i remotedly control the kids's comp, that is installing programs, checking what my kids are doing on that comp etc. Under windows i used to use RDP or dameware. what would you suggest in this case? [14:53] bullgard: you can add scripts to nautilus, so if you want it done write do it yourself [14:53] basy: your best option is to just do a usage option, so if you do ./yourcommand it offers your command [ usage ] options [14:53] robust vnc [14:53] robust, try vnc [14:53] basy: Look into bash completion. [14:53] basy: check the files in /etc/bash_completion.d and create one suitable to your script. have fun [14:54] robust works on most platforms for example linux windows etc etc [14:54] Vvnc is written in java? [14:54] basy: There are some examples in /etc/bash_completion.d/ . [14:54] nope thenoob c+ i think [14:54] thenoob, not as far as I know. [14:54] I have dualboot ubuntu and win7 and when I turn on pc there is GRUB bootloader and I want to put windows on first place [14:54] * jpds wonders why ikonia hates the bash_completion. [14:54] jpds: I don't, I think it's fine [14:54] llutz: thanx /etc/bash_completion.d/ i was looknig for :P [14:55] jatt: Noo. Buffer flooded before I could try your suggestion. Mind giving it again please? :) [14:55] please advice how can i use vnc. what needs to be installed on ubuntu, what on winxp. i just googled vnc & some progs such as realvnc etc come up. [14:55] jatt: On escape characters and prompt wrapping. [14:56] robuust use realvnc [14:56] robust, yup, realvnc is what you want for your Windows computer. There you'll need to install the server. [14:56] robust, I think vnc4server for ubuntu is best, and ultravnc client on windows [14:56] sure [14:56] C_LIGHT_BLUE="\[\033[1;34m\]" [14:56] C_GRAY="\[\033[1;30m\]" [14:56] C_RESET="\[\033[0m\]" [14:56] PS1="$C_GRAY[$C_LIGHT_BLUE\t$C_GRAY][$C_LIGHT_BLUE\u@\h:\w$C_GRAY]\$ $C_RESET" [14:56] sacarlson: I do not understand your English in your last message. Please explain the phrase "so if you want it done write do it yourself" to me in #ubuntu-offtopic. [14:57] Wulfy, Zoffix, compdoc: thank you, i knew I always can rely on the ubuntu community :) [14:58] robust: vino is in a default install and will give desktop sharinig [14:58] robust read lxf magazine issue October 2010 [14:58] robust: there are often more graceful methods to achieve your ends (especially using apps with web interfaces) [14:58] it gives reviews [14:58] robust, vnc4server includes a program named vncconfig that you run to enable clipboard xfers [14:59] robust, what ActionParsnip said is true if you want to view your kids desktop. vncserver wont do that [15:00] what did you want me to pastebin? [15:00] ok, as i said i need both remote administartion (such as progs installation) & watching what my kids are doing [15:00] can any1 here tell me where nano's config files are located on ubuntu?

[15:01] KGBWolf: then part 2 [15:02] another problem i haven'r solved yet, is parental control - i tried Gnome Nanny - it displayed intimidating notices such as "in a minute yor com will be off" but... nothing happened & my kids kept on playing games though it was time to go to bed [15:02] robust, vino requires that someone is logged on already. vncserver doesnt require that anyone is logged in [15:02] thenoob: /etc/nanorc [15:02] ty [15:02] llutz im unable to bind that port [15:02] jatt: big father for my kids, i'd say [15:02] thenoob: np [15:02] KGBWolf: you need to be root to do that [15:02] robust: "parental control" is when a parent tells the children to turn the computer off and go to bed [15:04] thenoob, --> locate nano === herton is now known as herton_lunch [15:04] Any recommended video/audio conversion software for linux?

[15:52] ActionParsnip, "NetworkManager" is already running [15:53] robust: its an alternate to vino [15:53] juanchi: nm-applet will give a panel item [15:53] as I said, vino requires a person is logged in, and vnc4server does not.

How can I do it?? [15:55] compdoc does it mean that when the comp is on but no user is logged in i'll be able to remotedly access this comp with the help of vnc4server? if yes then i'm about to install it [15:55] Seppman: does the netbook have a dial on the side to alter volume?

Why is that? [15:56] ActionParsnip: Alright, usually what is the compression ratio? [15:56] anyone good with bash script?

Maybe i'll get it to work someday [16:01] ActionParsnip: i'm aware of wake-on-lan but never used it, when under windows i had no luck but now whant to get familiar with it [16:01] robust: use a program that can do it like etherwake ? [16:01] Seppman: keep the alsa info link handy, asking later may help [16:01] i bookmarked it [16:01] #bitspyder [16:01] robust: sounds like a project to me :) [16:01] Hey guys, for some reason my computer will not register that there is a blank dvd in the drive.

I only have a server install at my read at the moment. [16:07] -d ? [16:07] Pici: not sure, i always use the server method [16:07] bastidra1or: Thats to upgrade to a Devel release.

But now just want to be aware of the procedure... [16:15] TuGa: you want to stop cupsd from running?

Should I use ubuntu containing drive or its possible by liveUSB as well? [16:16] TuGa: cupsd is started by an upstart job. Edit /etc/init/cups.conf and add "never" as a starting condition [16:16] sre-su: if you want an image of sdb you can use dd and make a 1-to-1 size image [16:16] ajf: should be able to remove the package and then do apt-get autoremove [16:16] no? [16:16] jrib: No [16:16] ajf: no? [16:16] As it's a meta package [16:16] i need to figure out a way to integrate my ubuntu desktop into my AD. can ldap do it? [16:16] ActionParsnip: That will take up space.. more than what partimage would take.. It requires exact partion size [16:16] it isn't actually installed [16:16] so take the list in Depends: and apt-get remove that [16:16] ajf: it is actually installed...

[16:17] oh ok [16:17] it has a Depends line though [16:17] Duh [16:17] ok [16:17] ajf: take a look at the man page for apt-get and what autoremove does. It should work [16:17] sre-su: fs-archiver ?

What could be causing this? [16:20] ahh, thought it was -, or --, or " [16:20] I'm using 10.04.1 and trying to mount a NFS share and read/write as root. I have no_squash_root enabled in /etc/exports on the server.. But the clients are only reading/writing as nobody.. Can anyone advise what I should look at? [16:20] Sorry, I ran "iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE" to fix it. [16:21] marvelous. ty jrib ajf [16:21] One thought I had is that I probably ignored the new release at some point since I didn't want to install it when it came out - is it possible that this is interfering? [16:21] danub: Do you know which repo is required to be added for patimage for lucid? [16:21] Fish-Face: did you edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to read: Prompt=normal [16:21] ActionParsnip: dd will take up space.. more than what partimage would take.. It requires exact partion size [16:21] Now, a quick question. What does apt mean when it says "the following packages have been kept back:"? [16:21] I haven't manually edited that file, ActionParsnip - I'll check it [16:22] ajf: It cannot upgrade those packages for reasons. [16:22] ah, no, it's Prompt=lts [16:22] Fish-Face, have installed any nondefault apps by adding ppas , if so , either comment them oe remove them in your sources.list [16:22] sre-su: when you did your !info, i thought it referenced a repo [16:22] Fish-Face: if you don't then your OS will only upgrade to LTS releases [16:22] ajf: Although, newer versions are available. [16:22] jpds: Is it a bad thing that mountall is kept back? [16:22] yeah, that's weird, ActionParsnip - I upgraded to 10.04 from a non LTS [16:22] I guess it makes that change anyway [16:22] ajf: Potentially, doing: apt-get install mountall -- will show why it's like that. [16:22] component universe [16:23] ok [16:23] jpds: OK [16:23] * danub shrugs [16:23] dont know which repo that is, but its in that one [16:23] Fish-Face: run: gksudo gedit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and change: Prompt=lts to Prompt=normal [16:23] jpds: It just installed fine [16:23] I'm modifying it now [16:23] huh [16:24] do-release-upgrade could do with saying it found a new release that doesn't match the filter or whathaveyou [16:24] how do I print the "mod" (as in chmod) a file has? I want a numeric value [16:24] something like 660 or 644 [16:25] I could add the rw thing in ls -l but I want to make sure [16:25] Silex: ls -l file [16:25] Silex: use stat '%a' I think. Check man stat if I'm wrong [16:25] NIIIIIICE! [16:26] what file can i edit besides .bashrc? i know there is another file which does a similar thing but is less dangereous to edit [16:26] jrib: thanks [16:26] Buttons840: /etc/bash.bashrc [16:26] Silex: oops, stat -c '%a' FILE. But now my question is, why? [16:26] Buttons840, .bashrc isn't dangerous [16:26] By the way, I currently have a problem with Ubuntu (which I hope the upgrade will fix) - the kernel is consuming a positively ludicrous amount of memory [16:26] Has anyone heard of this happening?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:27] rumpe1: .bashrc is a big bash script which i don't understand, is there a single file i can edit myself? [16:27] linux tries to use as much as memory as possible [16:27] !ram | Fish-Face [16:27] Fish-Face: If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [16:27] jrib: I'd like to check the chmod that was applied to a lot of files.

[16:27] could someone help me, i have eeepc with ubuntu 10.04.1 installed...and huawei e1552 usb modem, which im desperatelly trying to get to work :) i have installed usb modeswitch and added some \etc\udev\rules.d\15-e1552.rules file with no luck :( [16:27] CUPS saga solved just added never to /etc/init/cups.conf as a start condition, tks ppl! [16:27] Silex: ok [16:27] Buttons840: you can edit bashrc to add variables and definitions as you need, you don't need to understand it [16:27] to my ubuntu desktop [16:27] jrib, I assume that page tells me I should read the +/- buffers/cache line in free? [16:27] Buttons840, you don't have to understand it... just append your lines at the end [16:28] Fish-Face: yes [16:28] Fish-Face: how did you determine it was the kernel that is taking all the memory? [16:28] jrib: -c '%a' works fine, thanks [16:28] If so, the information is coming directly from slabtop, mbeierl and jrib [16:28] Fish-Face, look at "free && sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && free" [16:28] Fish-Face: if you run: free -m what is output (use a pastebin to hold the text) [16:28] One of the kernel slabs is using 416M of RAM [16:30] ActionParsnip, -/+ buffers/cache: 1284 1225 (there is also ~500M of cache used and a small amount of swap used) [16:31] there is about a 20% (650M or so) discrepancy between the total amount of memory consumed by processes and the total memory reported consumed (less cache) by free [16:31] Fish-Face: can you pastebin the whole lot please [16:31] but this is nearly all accounted for by the memory used by the kernel [16:31] sure thing, ActionParsnip [16:32] I will include /proc/meminfo as well [16:32] my mic is not recieving anything in ubuntu 10.10. does anybody know what to do? === KiNG is now known as K|nG [16:32] why can't I gnome log-monitor access /var/log/btmp - why is it binary === androidbruce is now known as androidbruce|afk [16:33] ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/YPEaNyxY [16:33] Hey guys, for some reason my computer will not register that there is a blank dvd in the drive.

[16:36] Fish-Face: seems strange, what is the output of: uname -r please [16:36] 2.6.32-23-generic [16:36] but as I say I'm upgrading [16:36] I was really just wondering if anyone had heard of it [16:36] juk, i just plugged it in, and tried to use it in Skype. I also looked at the sound preferences, tried ever avaiable input connector and still nothing [16:36] Fish-Face: do you have older kernels? [16:36] since the obvious thing to do is just upgrade and see [16:36] err, maybe, let me check [16:37] oldest is .31-14 [16:38] cookiemad: in sound preferences in hardware section do you the device? [16:38] cookiemad: do you see [16:39] Fish-Face: try the one before your current kernel, see if its identical [16:39] well afaik it's a slow memory leak [16:39] Fish-Face: make sure its in the .32 family :) [16:39] so my plan was to try a new kernel rather than an old one [16:39] juk, i see 1 input and 1 output, thats the one im using [16:39] ActionParsnip, 10.10 is on a newer minor revision, isn't it? [16:39] cookiemad: what about profile? [16:40] cookiemad: drop down left to test spakers [16:40] juk, Analog Stereo Duplex [16:41] Fish-Face: I know lucid is, otherwise not sure [16:41] i've installed python2.7 but all the convienient python modules in the repos get installed to python2.6; after pointing $PYTHONPATH to the python2.6 libs in .bashrc then the imports work like i want from the shell, but when i start idle with the gnome desktop it still doesn't work, do env vars set in bashrc not effect the gnome desktop? [16:41] well I'm on lucid and I'm on .32... I thought Maverick was on .35 or something [16:41] cookiemad: so in input section you don't see any signal? [16:41] maybe I misread though [16:42] juk, exactly [16:42] Fish-Face: maverick is on .35 [16:42] cookiemad: and you tried all options from drop down ofcourse? [16:42] juk, yes [16:42] jrib, thanks [16:43] well then ActionParsnip, my assumption is that upgrading to .35 will fix it [16:43] so I was just curious as to whether there was a known cause [16:43] What is the naming convention of symlinks in /etc/rc2.d? They start with S and a 2-digit number...what does the number mean? [16:43] S = start at this runlevel [16:43] the number indicates what order they start in [16:44] do the env vars in .bashrc not effect application launched through the gnome desktop? [16:44] Fish-Face: Ok, thanks. [16:44] man update-rc.d [16:44] cookiemad: what if you tune in alsamixer from terminal [16:45] Fish-Face: worth a try dude [16:45] Buttons840: i believe tey do affect it [16:45] hi) looks like my dpkg died - any actions with it finish with segfault. what can i do to solve this problem? [16:45] gah... what are the most common pieces of 3rd party software to make an upgrade fail to start [16:45] reinstall the machine [16:46] or, install dpkg from source [16:46] I don't really want to uninstall every third party package I've installed :/ [16:46] Aidar-Nagato: reinstall it? [16:46] juk, still nothing [16:46] Aidar-Nagato: can you pastebin your efforts so far please [16:46] is there a way to analyse the fragmentation on a FAT32 and NTFS drive attached using USB? [16:46] apt-get segfaults how can you reinstall it? [16:46] When I've have version 1.0.5 installed for bzip I'm still getting this error- configure: error: *** bzip2 library (libbz2) not found or too old: version 1.0.0 or more recent is need [16:47] ActionParsnip: i'm confused because if i start idle through the shell using "idle-python2.7 -n" and then try "import twisted" it will work (from the shell); when i do alt-f2 and then run "idle-python2.7 -n" then try import twisted, it fails [16:47] aeon-ltd, i can't. ActionParsnip, ok, five seconds :) [16:47] sre-su: it might be looking for the dev files.. [16:48] cookiemad: and it works find in win7 ofcourse?

Just run the command that ubottu told you. The one you pasted here just now.

[18:52] so then what because it still wont add the repo i want [18:52] ikonia, soz [18:52] boywonder: How do you know tis not added? Did you run apt-get update afterwards?

Оно имеет систему управления, которая отслеживает и подстраивает скорость движения пол [18:55] отна таким образом, чтобы скорость вращения колёс самолёта была равна скорости движения полотна. Вопрос: сможет ли самолёт взлететь в таких условиях?

You replied "it failed". I asked you to copy your commands to http://paste.ubuntu.com and give us the resulting link. I'm waiting for that information. [18:57] I wish ubuntu had a "back in time" [18:57] jrib: can i use _any_ of my openid accounts for launchpad to enter a bug report? or is launchpad only an openid provider?

[18:58] heh [18:59] boywonder: if you start doing random things on your own instead of what we tell you to do, then it's impossible for us to help you [18:59] jrib: ok, thx [18:59] i ran this first [18:59] sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" [18:59] Hello, i need someone to help me right now [18:59] then this [19:00] boywonder: use a pastebin so you don't flood the channel.

[19:04] hi, if you use pidgin it gets its submenu in the taskbar with that little envelope, there is also a mail submenu but it is for evolution, i use thunderbird instead, is it possible to integrate thunderbird to that? [19:04] can anyone even see what i'm saying? (not to complain, but i've been in this channel multiple times and no one ahs ever responded to something i've said) [19:04] Assid: probably; check out in Aplications>Accesories>Char map [19:04] Am new to ubuntu , just now I installed ubuntu 10.04 but problem is its not at all detecting LAN..but in windows its working perfectly am able to access internet...plz help me [19:04] DarsVaeda: i believe there is a plugin for thunderbird to use indicators [19:04] chrono86: yes we can see you [19:04] jrib, youll find that you didnt actually help me! [19:04] jrib: sorry, looks like ubuntu isn't serious about getting bug reports: doesn't accept my openid and when i try to create an account it complains about my password: "Password must be at least 8 characters long, and must contain at least one number and an upper case letter." [19:04] Yeah i will stay here but it would be alot easier to give/recieve help in a PM [19:04] search in mozilla's addon web or in omg!ubuntu! webupd8 blogs [19:04] Assid: the code is in the left bottom corner [19:05] DarsVaeda * [19:05] middle: only help in the channel [19:05] iknoia: thank you for helping me to be sure i'm not goign crazy [19:05] *ikonia [19:05] xangua: okay i'll give it a try with indicators, thx [19:05] Assid: you see U+CODE there [19:05] deuterium: And that means that we're not serious about getting bug reports why?

[19:05] middle: normally under /media if it is an auto mount, if it's a manual mount, where ever you want [19:06] Trying to update to 10.10 to hopefully resolve sound problem, got this error: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks [19:06] middle: however, reading your forum thread, I would suggest you do a clean install [19:06] oh yeah media derp [19:06] I just installed ubuntu yesterday, so it should be exactly as it came. [19:06] ikonia, really? what do you think is the problem? [19:06] middle: you're machine appears to be in a real mess and a clean install to a current version would be a simple solution [19:06] middle: I think you've made a real mess of your machine [19:06] Pici: that barrier could be lowered a lot. by accepting anonymous bug reports without the need to have a launchpad (whatever this is) account. or at least: by accepting valid openid credentials. sorry for the rant, but things like this make me sad. [19:07] deuterium: then you get spammed with people not serious about a quality bug report [19:07] deuterium: your attitude makes me sad [19:07] OK, now if i did that what is the easiest way to back up all my files from the terminal? [19:07] my pulseaudio has always been started from the startup applications with the command "start-pulseaudio-x11". it no longer starts. trying to run the command manually i get "Connection failure: Connection refused" any ideas?

[19:07] can any one help me out, i can start .jar files by rightclick>open with java. but when i open terminal and type "java -jar file.jar" i get java errors [19:07] :S [19:08] like everything on my PC [19:08] thats not a helpful answer [19:08] middle: that would be unwise as it would take all the messed up packages/config files with it [19:08] i suppose my home folder [19:08] middle, id suggest an external harddrive =) [19:08] yeah, i guess [19:08] goddamit why do i ahveb to do stupid things [19:08] middle: copy the contents you want to an external disk [19:08] ikonia: look, i know that problem too, myself, though from other projects. i just value the benefits of a lower barrier higher. [19:08] hahaha I ask myself that a lot also [19:08] What are the first steps to quickly get in know how to work with Elastix? [19:08] but would any of you know what that actual issue is?? [19:08] deuterium: log the bug, or don't, it's up to you [19:08] * wechat not-Ubuntu? [19:08] middle: yes, but it's simpler to just re-install as your machine is in a real mess [19:09] wechat: ?

[19:12] m4v: sure, it's more work for triage, indeed. i don't want to flame.. time's to valuable [19:12] backup of /etc /home/ [19:12] middle: 1.) your config files should be dropped looking at your machine 2.) your packages should not be backed up, it's a mess [19:12] middle: right cvlick on it properties [19:12] Barnabas: no [19:12] Barnabas: are you reading what I'm saying, his machines packages are messed up, backing up broken config files is not a good idea [19:13] i am going to pull my hair out, i have no idea why pulse isn't working [19:13] erUSUL im on CLI only [19:13] ikonia, sorry but thats nonsense :-) [19:13] boywonder: sudo add-apt-repository ppa: [19:13] god this sucks [19:13] a backup of the config files are always a good idea [19:13] i mean like config files ofr irssi and conky etc...

Probably, cause everytime i connect to it, it gives me an random ip [20:43] so the file's presence is sufficient [20:43] MindPhreak: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu then add an ipp printer in windows. ipp is the protocol cups uses [20:43] minimec, Well, I have looked for answers on google, but the solution they give is for a printer connected to windows system with the client being an ubi system.

[21:35] erUSUL: It looks like I need to add a file in /etc/init.d named git, guessing by the other things in there. [21:36] Is it possible to remove IE6 and Notepad from WINE? === ExplodingPiglets is now known as Lap_dragon [21:37] BiPolah: Have you tried deleting the files from ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files [21:37] hi, i have installed ubuntu server 8 on a pIII, it worked ok, when I reboot i cant start mysql again i get fail [21:38] im logged in to my remote server via ssh how do i do 2 things at once in the terminal, oput the current task in the backgorund [21:38] Starminn: I'm not sute that would work, would probably leave references in WINE. Notepad itself is in the Windows folder. I actually just want to stop it from showing up when I want to open a text file [21:39] i did the nvidia-xconfig, but it also says something with system config file in /X11/Conf.d.d [21:39] how can i image/backup ubuntu 10.04 LTS server? [21:39] bsmith093: if the task is already running do crtl + z then bg %1 [21:39] bsmith093: if you want to launch a command in backgfroun do « command & » [21:40] BiPolah: Ah, alright. Not so sure then -- probably some file that control context menus somewhere that I don't know about. I do know, though, that when you delete files from the ~/.wine/drice_c/Program Files that they have a tendency to still show up in the WINE menu under Applications->Wine so as far as 100% getting rid of them I'm not sure. I'd say there's somewhere you can edit the context menus for the files that offer to open in [21:43] Hi - quick question, hopefully I can get an answer before I have to leave. [21:43] ask.. === MC8 is now known as MC8|away [21:43] I installed ubuntu via WUBI and the styling of the desktop is different than installing via a usb - is there a way to use the styling from the usb install? [21:44] !details | Ubuntunub [21:44] Ubuntunub: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:45] hello [21:45] I'm completely new to Ubuntu [21:45] Ubuntunub: IF you have pictures that would be awesome. We're just trying to get a better idea of what's happening. What exactly do you expect to see and what ARE you seeing instead? [21:46] hi ramadan [21:46] ask [21:46] Sorry. I installed the latest version of Ubuntu (10.10 I believe) via USB and it had the nice black taskbars and stylized buttons. [21:46] I got a computer from my brother. It needed a new hard drive so I got it. No Operating system.... so I installed Ubuntu and it is awesome [21:46] I install 10.10 via WUBI and I had white'ish (grey?) taskbars and other slightly different stylings [21:47] great! [21:47] I have my previous Windows Computer and want to get rid of it, but not without getting my files [21:47] How about this... [21:47] !enter | ramadan [21:47] ramadan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:47] I much prefer the look of the USB install but why are they diffrent in the first place? [21:47] Can I install Ubuntu via Daemon Tools? [21:47] and format Windows? [21:47] anyone here familiar with LinuxMint 9 LXDE that would be willing to help for compensation... I'm down to the wire on a community service computer setup job and my package upgrades just hosed my install... 90 min left to get it working [21:47] wubiwubi is what jar jar ate at the market [21:47] is there an easy way to create a network connection so i can access those files and copy them through wireless? [21:48] !mint | gbear14275 [21:48] gbear14275: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [21:48] Guest87255: that won't work, as you can't delete the windows install daemon tools is running in [21:48] iceroot_, very familiar... but I'm desperate [21:48] Guest87255: if yuo have a spare USB key, you can put the ubuntu installer on that with unetbootin [21:48] would it be easier to just plug one computer into the other one using netwrok cables? [21:48] Guest87255, you should use Ubuntu's default installer. You can wipe windows during install if you like. [21:48] ramadan, i think you can install "openssh-server" on Ubuntu, configure a key, install Putty on Windows, have both on the same subnet and ssh to the windows machine... [21:49] SINGLE LINE VERSION: Sorry. I installed the latest version of Ubuntu (10.10 I believe) via USB and it had the nice black taskbars and stylized buttons. I then installed 10.10 via WUBI and I had white'ish (grey?) taskbars and other slightly different stylings. I much prefer the look of the USB install but why are they diffrent in the first place? [21:49] or ssh FROM windows to the Ubuntu machine and "scp" the files there [21:49] quit [21:49] Odaym / ramadan : i'd install openssh-server on ubuntu, and use winscp on windows [21:49] exit [21:49] ah, there you go [21:49] hi comunity! I have devoleped an app in java and i made the file .jar, but when i try to open it, nothing happens! What should i do? [21:49] there's a default thing on windows called "winscp" hypatia? [21:49] Ramadan: You can share your drive and connect to it through another Windows computer to copy data [21:50] (i opne with java sun virtual amchine 6) [21:50] Odaym: no, it's a program you have to download, but it's much nicer than just putty === MC8|away is now known as MC8 [21:50] ramadan, 0daym is right. hypatia is right too, WinSCP includes some of putty. [21:50] oh [21:50] dust__ open it from the command line see what happens [21:50] Dust_: Does it tell you to make it executable? [21:50] http://winscp.net ; it's free software [21:50] i'll have to let someone know of this Winscp then [21:50] thanks [21:50] nope, i have already make it excutable [21:50] i removed laptop keyboard - now i need to remove or blacklist the module. on modprobe --list *kbd* i get 9 modules running. how can i know the one corresponding to the laptop keyboard? [21:50] you're welcome, Odaym [21:50] I've been looking online and they said something about samba [21:50] Dust_: It just doesn't open then? Can you open other .jar files? [21:51] hi, i have installed ubuntu server 8 on a pIII, it worked ok, when I reboot i cant start mysql again i get fail [21:51] ramadan: that'll be much more painful to set up than just using ssh/scp [21:51] Luisgrin: what error do you get? [21:51] fail [21:51] Ubuntunub: I'm seeing if others have had this problem. GIve me a moment. [21:51] For exemple minecraft.jar works, but it'sthe only one ! [21:51] ramadan: if you are new to linux i highly recommend against setting up samba. [21:51] BiPolah: only fail [21:51] until i am comfortable with Ubuntu, i'm trying to stray from command lines [i guess terminal in linux] as to not screw it up [21:51] is it pretty user friendly? [21:51] ramadan, Odaym: I make my keys with puttygen, and move the public key to the host. [21:51] Dust_: I'd assume you haven't written it correctly then [21:51] all the rest of the .jar files doesn't works [21:51] i try to sudo apt-get remuve and install but also fail [21:52] well [21:52] Luisgrin: I'd suggest reinstalling then, if it doesn't tell you why it's failing. [21:52] i have tried with other programmes [21:52] ot written by me, and it happens the same crap [21:52] BiPolah: i did reinstall [21:52] Luisgrin: If you're doing "sudo apt-get remuve" then it won't work. Use "sudo apt-get remove" :P [21:52] not* [21:52] remove ok :) [21:52] Dust_: Perhaps try reinstalling OpenJRE [21:52] it worked [21:53] luisgrin: Typing the commands properly helps. [21:53] i'll try .-. thanks you all for the support! [21:53] <_-Jorge-_> Y love windows!!! [21:53] <_-Jorge-_> D [21:53] <_-Jorge-_> D [21:53] BiPolah: i know i type wrong here [21:53] <_-Jorge-_> :) [21:53] luisgrin: perhaps apt-get --purge remove (this WILL destroy your config files) [21:53] where is the best place to find gtk-gnutella help? [21:53] cisao [21:53] geekbri: ok [21:53] ciao [21:54] is there a channel? [21:54] wouldnt it make more sense to try looking at the log files to figure out why its failing before reinstalling it over and over and hit the same brick wall? [21:54] where do I set /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib to be first on my path when compiling c programs [21:54] Is there a way I can install Ubuntu via ISO directly from the hard drive? ( I am trying to find a round-about-way since I am dealing with an older system ) [21:54] * c++ programs [21:56] nope, i does not start fail [21:56] Guest87255: I could be wrong, but that seems logically hard to manage because the point of installing Ubuntu via LiveCD is to be unattached to the hard drive so if you're installing from the hard drive you'd be in a partition already and... hmm... It just confuses me even thinking about it. :) [21:56] nope, i does not start fail, i did --purge and also then install === james is now known as Guest96192 [21:56] df -h is ok, it has 2% [21:57] Starminn, how about a pxe network install .. Guest87255 [21:57] Guest87255: I'd assume it to be possible, but you wouldn't be able to remove the partition you're running it from. [21:58] odaym, hypatia : thanks a lot. i'm installing winscp on my windows computer now. can i find openssh_server in the software server? [21:58] How do you restart ubuntu into cli?

[23:23] sharav, shall i also add the google add ins [23:23] bencahill: do it from within the OS, there is basically a script in the root of the CD (Or ISO, both are equal (saves having to burn a CD)) to run and update [23:23] When i enable swap my machine won't boot.. when i try and mount swap afte rboot i get: swapon: /dev/sdc5: read swap header failed: Invalid argument [23:23] How do I find my way from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/2:4.01+dfsg-3ubuntu1 to the binary .deb?

So, after manually hacking around my xorg.conf I managed to run separate X screens for my dual-monitor setup. However, now they are TOO separate: the mouse doesn't switch to the second screen when I try to roll it over. Any idea how I might be the problem here? [23:29] Jason: When you say stops working, does it stop auto connection, by which I mean you can click back on your wifi connect, or does the card stop working so you cant see any wireless networks?

[23:31] kwtm, you can configure that through file associations in the control panel [23:31] sharav, would you know which one? [23:31] hey i need help figureing out my linux systems [23:31] cheese_gorillas7: What "control panel"? [23:31] kwtm: there are a bunch of xdg-* stuff [23:31] i have no idea how to use this AT all [23:31] hv: Ok, so I should look for commands in the shell starting with xdg-?

[23:33] what is partner repo [23:33] Wulfy: not sure but someone on launchpad answers is asking [23:33] ActionParsnip: The illegal part of commercial DVD reading is decrypting CSS. libdvdread4 passes this off to a separate package (libdvdcss). [23:33] !partner | Guest70497 [23:33] Guest70497: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications.

[23:34] boywonder: ok then you restart eclipse and open AVD manager again. there must be another updates for available [23:34] or a 1on1 chat?
