[00:06] freebse: Understood. It was completely a mistake, I should have looked at the context of your comment before saying anything. [00:06] and make and compile correctly?

[00:06] Jordan_U: with the sound mixer applet ubuntu uses it is really a difference, so guess this is the 0.5% [00:06] anonboots, I used apt-get install ircd-hybrid [00:06] do you have all the codex installed? [00:06] i think yes [00:07] xomp then what you need to do, is cd into the directory that you downloaded to, and untar it. [00:07] rythmbox play mp3 [00:07] it was a package != tarball :P [00:07] Jordan_U: never mind, actually I found out in this case gnome-volume-control-applet does nothing and I don't know what the applet is called in Ubuntu, so actually true [00:07] an actual ubuntu package [00:07] xomp lol I appologize. [00:07] hah no worries :) [00:08] xomp Then you need to type in ./config [00:08] If I am not mistaken, and follow the prompts.

MNEPTOK: is that the gui for vsftpd? [00:14] ubun: vsftpd is an FTP server, not a client [00:15] ubun: filezilla is an FTP client for Linux. Its easy to use.

[00:50] so ? ubuntu wont be on primary Jordan_U will resize still work correctly on manual repartition and not kill w7 boot? [00:50] mickster04, i will install it but my Q is how can I install a s/w from tar.gz downloaded file [00:50] cntb: Some OEMs set things up that way, and it's rather annoying because if they just made one of the 4 primary partitions a logical one you could create as many partitions as you wanted. As is you're stuck with 4 untill you delete one :( [00:50] i added a 2 TB hard drive to my ubuntu/win7 system for storage. formatted it in ntfs with windows [00:50] but when i boot into ubuntu, it doesn't see the drive. [00:51] induz: normally there are instructions, but sually involved unpaclking ./configure ./make ./makeinstall [00:51] i don't want to necessarily have it auto mount, but i'd like it to show up in nautilus at least so i can click on it to load it the way i can my other ntfs partition [00:51] HowardTheDuck: places > computer > there? [00:51] nope only my 350 GB ntfs partition i have windows on [00:52] cntb: You need to use one primary partition as an extended partition, within which you can create any number of logical partitions. Since your OEM used up all 4 primary partitions without making any of them extended you'll need to delete one to add any more. [00:52] it shows up in nautilus so i can click on it to mount it, and then eject it when done [00:52] id'd like the new 2 tb drive i put in to do the same [00:52] oh s maybe I reconfigure and say bye to second ntfs to get things done Jordan_U ? may take time but seems the only way out [00:52] is anyone here using squid3 with squidguard please ???

[02:02] Cyrano_De: the other posibility is you have two dhcpd running on two sysstems? [02:02] Cyrano_de: I strongly suggest you ask cisco.

[02:08] anyone anyone? [02:08] Cyrano_De: But you have a cisco dhcp server, there is no reason in the world why an experienced cisco engineer can't tell exactly why it doles out that address. If you don't have one, your cisco support contract will let you ask their technition to tell you. There is simply no reason to guess.

[02:47] shoot: I see that being hammered in the forums [02:47] mdg2: Did a /dev/fd0 appear? [02:48] Jordan_U: you lost me. [02:48] Does anyone have CUDA? Does the latest driver in the repos for nvidia (nvidia-current) support it? Must I install the SDK on top of the driver and CUDA?

I've been getting lost in trying to understand find command as in the undefined, yes I looked it up on google, "symbolic link". Is that the filename? the icon? [02:48] econdudeawesome: what are you trying to do with cuda?

I've been getting lost in trying to understand find command as in the undefined, yes I looked it up on google, "symbolic link".

[02:49] sacarlson yes i choose to encrypt everything [02:49] econdudeawesome: use = write program for it? [02:50] it means fd0 isnt in /dev [02:50] KGBWolf: can I see the output of mount and fdisk -l ? [02:50] sure [02:50] Ben64: Absolutely. I'm writing scientific programming and I want to incorporate it into the toolkit [02:51] econdudeawesome: then yeah, you need the special drivers from nvidia [02:51] Ben64: I attempted to do the "Hello World" program using PyCUDA and it's giving me a CUDA error. Not sure how to check it [02:51] Ben64: So the latest driver in the repos do not support it? [02:51] mdg2: My last floppy drive died last year. Sorry I can't help you more.

[03:12] lol [03:13] econdudeawesome: it's very unlikely that you don't already have one [03:13] econdudeawesome, you already have $PATH variables, type $PATH in terminal to see the default ones, this addition just adds paths to the original ones [03:13] anyone else think they could help me with my problem?

I meant GUI.. [03:22] lol [03:23] Random832: Meaning if I don't load Gnome, I can't run it? [03:23] jon_athon pitivi. its a lot like windows movie maker it should do the job.

[03:23] kinda a big dif there ahh senji [03:23] lol [03:23] DaGeek247, thanks [03:23] Thinking one thing, typed another :/ [03:23] JeffCBR: no, that doesn't mean that, why would you think that means that [03:23] JeffCBR: irssi have awesome documentation, and script pack is in repos. [03:24] it's just a pet peeve of mine - i consider 'CLI' to exclude full screen text mode programs like irssi, vim, and so on === Nisstyre is now known as Nisstyre65 [03:24] it's not a _command_ _line_ interface === Nisstyre65 is now known as Nisstyre [03:24] ed is CLI, vi is not [03:24] how do i remove something from /etc/fstab ?

[03:25] i need to remove this Baracuda [03:25] timewriter: just edit it === pyrony_ is now known as pyrony [03:25] OH [03:25] Omg [03:25] thank you Random832 [03:25] Sorry.. [03:25] Blanked..

[03:25] floodbot shut up [03:25] I'd switch back to irssi in a heartbeat if there was a good notification menu script... [03:25] lol [03:26] Random832: Perhaps my question should have been do those run in the CLI? [03:26] WeeChat has one, but it's tedious [03:26] JeffCBR: technically a terminal also applies to the linux virtual consoles [alt-f1 etc] and to physical devices, but otherwise... CLI is often misused, it's not like it's _your_ misconception [03:26] but yes irssi runs in text mode === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [03:26] away for a smoke until the star wars box set is copying [03:26] Hey guys [03:26] #usguys [03:26] i like bluray Yoda [03:26] !ot timewriter === QuBit is now known as Guest32004 [03:26] !ot | timewriter [03:26] timewriter: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

To name a partition you use gparted not nautilus. Thank you for all your attention friends. -- inc shcherbak [04:02] ruan: How did you install it? Wubi? LiveCD?

At this place Ubuntu wubi "looks like" a different partition even though it is not one. It is one of the choices.

[04:04] i didnt get a text screen to choose a partition [04:04] ruan, warning about wubi. The files "inside" of wubi are only accessible when you have booted into wubi.

[04:04] MrBmx, No problem :) [04:04] But it is not an option in the power management tab [04:05] ruan, this is not a problem per say. it is your situation. [04:05] because it seemed to wipe windows, not that i mind, but i need to boot into an os [04:05] ruan: when you boot, do you see the text screen? [04:05] no [04:05] matiu: That is likely a bit over the top, but as long as you don't desperately need the space... You normally don't need a separate /boot unless you want to. [04:05] ruan: There are some very good Utilities and Forensics in GParted and other places that could resolve that for you. [04:05] only a "loading dmi pool data" screen and it freezes at that [04:06] ruan, I cant help you with that one, what you have has been addressed here by others. You have lost the grub2 (or grub for older versions) [04:06] gsp2009: Despite checking numerous times, and updating the repositories and chanign x11, nothing has worked. the screen is on full brightness all the time, despite the birghtness applet showing the screen as off.

[05:01] Tux123: do you have access to machine? [05:01] yes [05:01] any opinion as to the distro I should use? [05:01] i have access.. and no i dont want to clear the hash [05:01] Tux123: is there a reason you need the password instead of just resetting it? [05:01] i want to 'crack' it [05:01] sammuel lucid === william is now known as Guest13498 [05:02] !ot [05:02] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[05:03] I think I will install maverik and then natty [05:03] ss [05:04] maerick has the most probems [05:04] I tried debian, but it took me a while to get everything working in my macbook pro [05:04] lol i guess no one knows here ... [05:04] then it stopped working.... [05:04] Tux123: Around gpg you can find few project (offensive and deffensive) which may be of interest. [05:04] Of course it's possible, Tux. [05:04] Tux123, depends [05:04] could not even boot in recovery [05:04] :( [05:04] how long are your passwords? [05:04] 10 chars [05:05] Tux123, not that feasible [05:05] unless you have a very powerful system [05:05] DaGeek247: maverik has more problems than natty??? [05:05] anything below 7 characters is feasible [05:05] do you use some tools to crask it anyway? [05:05] crack* [05:05] Tux123, check out john the ripper [05:05] I forget what hashing algorithm ubuntu uses [05:05] john the ripper for UBUNTU hashes? [05:05] yes [05:06] never seen a naty q in here. [05:06] that's because natty questions belong in #ubuntu+1 ;P [05:06] lol [05:06] DaGeek247: still #Ubuntu +1 [05:06] im not in there [05:07] Anyway, i think i'll code the hach cracker myself .. then [05:07] edit [05:07] i am trying to get minicom on my Ubuntu liveCD load but it says 'E: Couldn't find package minicom' whenever i call on 'sudo apt-get install minicom', can someone please help me?

[05:11] Tux123, if you know what algorithm it uses and you have a newish nvidia card you can go much faster [05:11] yeah i know [05:11] I can use the GPU [05:11] beagle2___, - see here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu [05:11] it uses your GPU? [05:11] i am rather new to linux, but am frustrated that apt-get worked on my other machine, where the only difference I can see is that that one used a dual-boot setup instead of a liveCD... [05:11] Can anyone tell me how to add color to my vim? It's missing [05:11] can someone help me with the partitioning part of the installation im getting a /root filesystem error [05:11] JeffCBR, yes you can use a language called CUDA [05:11] I'm familiar wih CUDA [05:11] it's a C like syntax # JeffCBR [05:12] *@ [05:12] arand: it was because i did apt-get install grub when i saw 'grub' didnt exists, which downgraded grub [05:12] thanks byw.. [05:12] interesting. How much power is in those things? [05:12] rebooted live cd and used grub-pc default with grub-install and its back to normal [05:12] Hello everyone [05:12] ubuntu novice here [05:12] had a question about swappiness [05:12] im back in my os now yay, ill screw with windows at a lkater date [05:12] I saw one at the comp store today that I don't think would actually fit in my case. [05:13] KXTwo: usually the swap partition should be double what your physical RAM is [05:13] i wish i could install ubuntu [05:13] I havent made a swap partition yet [05:13] ruan, you have windows alreayd installed and you're trying to dual boot? [05:13] Im talking about the swappiness of the swap file [05:13] KXTwo: at the very least, a little larger [05:14] JeffCBR: it was [05:14] I read an article on how to "speed up ubuntu" it had me change the swappiness from 60 to 10 I wanted to see what you guys thought [05:14] is it gone from the partition manager? [05:14] I do seem to be running somewhat faster [05:14] sorry, if my q is offtopic, but can anyone tell me how I can find out how to add color to vim? [05:14] pitlimit, add - syntax on - to ~/vimrc [05:14] KXTwo: I have tried changing swappiness. It made exactly zero difference on my system. [05:14] no, i installed ubuntu twice on the same partition, but couldnt boot [05:14] thank you i willl try [05:15] KXTwo: your mileage may vary, especially if you're low on RAM. [05:15] I was also told to edit my inittab file but it doesnt even exist [05:15] then i made a new partition, and it still didn't work [05:15] rww I have 4 gigs lol [05:15] KXTwo: I never noticed a difference :( [05:15] KXTwo: So do I, so... yeah. [05:15] pitlimit, I meant ~/.vimrc [05:15] g_0_0: I don't have a vimrc... i have a viminfo... is that the same? [05:15] I have 512 MB... :( [05:15] KXTwo: Unless you're using a lot of memory for something, you won't be using a notable amount of swap space, so swappiness won't matter. [05:15] KXTwo: Buy this. It'll speed up your linux experience. http://tinyurl.com/4s7uq4l [05:15] im very good at optimizing the speed of windows os's just trying to learn ubuntu [05:15] Of DDR2... === Andorin is now known as Andorian [05:16] I have no swap partition as im maxed out on parts and seem to be running ok [05:16] g_0_0: thanks so much! that was exactly the problem. so much stuff to learn in Linux, sigh... === Andorian is now known as Andorin [05:16] I like to run a tight OS though and just wanted to figure out hwo to maximize [05:16] beagle2___, you're welcome [05:16] KXTwo: with 4gig also I don't bother with a swap , hibernate instead of suspend and no issues [05:16] I think the ubuntu article I read was outdated though [05:16] that was backwards? [05:16] pitlimit, the file is ~/.vimrc - I made an error first time [05:16] but g_0_0 I don't have one [05:16] I have viminfo [05:17] should I change swappiness back to 60 or would you say it really doesnt matter [05:17] I am getting very frustrated. I managed to build the new version of ShrewSoft vpn client, and though its installed in a goofy location , it works === mgalvin_ is now known as mgalvin [05:17] but it doesnt, same problem as in 2.1.5. Connects, creates tap0 adapter [05:17] im running 64 bit dual cores with 4 gig, laptop so hd little slow but overall fast unit [05:17] but no traffic routes over it. Any suggestions? [05:17] KXTwo: well, I think the only place where you might notice any difference is if you're running a lot of different apps and changing between them pretty often [05:17] thats not me [05:17] tight tight [05:17] not a gamer [05:17] im just recently getting back into linux [05:17] I run a terminal to ssh into school [05:18] might do some c++ [05:18] facebook, porn, etc lol [05:18] is it possible to install windows with wine? [05:18] !enter | KXTwo [05:18] KXTwo: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:18] ruan: that sounds....bad [05:18] ruan what are you trying to do, I just finished setting up a dual boot with 7 [05:18] I knew I was going to get yelled at for that lol [05:18] i wanted to install ubuntu but it didnt work out [05:19] ruan I seriously just did it all just tonight, tell me what you did [05:19] hi, after login and klicking the ubuntu main menu icon there is a significant delay until the menu pops up. nothing important, but still annoying. is there a way to get rid of the delay? [05:19] ruan: not really, the whole point of wine is that you shouldn't need to install windows [05:19] KXTwo: i installed ubuntu off the livecd but it doesnt boot of the hdd after install [05:19] ruan: maybe you want a virtual machine running windows instead? [05:19] does it juts boot right into windows? [05:20] no it wiped windows [05:20] so you DONT want to do a dual boot? === zz_q_a_z_steve is now known as q_a_z_steve_ [05:20] timewriter, avidemux worked great.... thanks [05:20] i do but windows was wiped [05:20] ruan: have you looked at the boot sequence in your BIOS? [05:20] ruan what happens when you boot then? [05:20] gaelfx: yes i changed boot sequence to hdd first [05:20] ruan: you probably formatted on install, instead of resizing windows and dual booting [05:20] it does nothing at boot [05:21] yes ben thats what im thinking [05:21] Ruan I take it you are on another pc right now? [05:21] jon_athon, im glad it solved your problem [05:21] no, im on my livecd [05:21] pitlimit, if the vimrc isn't there create it [05:21] ruan: I think if you hold 'shift' while booting, grub menu should show up, but if grub isn't working properly then it wouldn't work [05:22] ruan: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [05:22] i gtg [05:22] grub should show up default [05:22] crap I just did it [05:22] !sextractor [05:22] How can I see all the ip routes that are entered [05:23] he just left jeez and I was trying to help [05:24] how to see all users in the system? [05:24] who [05:24] abhinav_singh: who [05:24] omg Ij just did it but I cant remember how I resized my partition from my live cd, I know i didnt use the terminal === Dotted is now known as Dotoff [05:25] KXTwo: probably gparted, that's on the livecd [05:25] is it not on an install, I thought I found it under admin before [05:25] (but strangely absent after install) === Dotoff is now known as Dotted [05:25] ok at least im not insane lol [05:25] yeah, that one got me the first couple times too [05:25] it doesnt matter now ruan left, I was going to help him but oh well [05:26] gaelfx are you showing up colored because you typed my name?

[05:27] xchat-gnome [05:27] yes Xchat-gnome is the graphical Xchat right? gnome is what ubuntu uses for a gui? [05:28] nope, xchat is graphical as well [05:28] xchat-gnome is xchat + modifications to make it fit GNOME's HIG better. imho, use xchat instead. [05:28] GNOME is the GUI what is HIG? [05:28] Human Interface Guidelines [05:28] gnome is de default desktop environment of ubuntu [05:29] basy System Preferences Monitors [05:29] i love totem for no reason [05:29] gnome seems much more friendly than the ones i played with back in the day lol [05:29] <_skpl> can someone help me? im trying to install compiz fusion icon from the ubuntu software center but i get an error about the site not being trusted.

[05:36] they have been on the left side for over a decade [05:36] moving the buttons to the left [05:36] hello [05:36] by default [05:36] elky: !controls [05:36] eep [05:36] !controls [05:36] In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information, please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-themes/+bug/532633/comments/564 | To move them back to the right-hand side, see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/move-buttons-to-right-side [05:36] I remember back when I was running slackware, redhat, debian, with kde I believe the default was always the left [05:36] KXTwo, they were just moved to the left with 10.04 [05:37] rww hah [05:37] KDE's always had controls on the right by default. [05:37] The bug report on it was really funny to read. So many people were running to another distro because of it [05:37] maybe im wrong [05:37] ditto Debian, and I think other GNOMEs. [05:37] and it has been a long time [05:37] but I swore I remember left hand controls, oh well its just another thing to play with. [05:37] !controls [05:37] In Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side.

[05:38] gosh [05:38] KXTwo: i think there was a version of KDE with the _close_ button on the left [05:38] the code name for 10.04 [05:38] KXTwo, I think it was an option you could set in KDE somewhere. I also remember that. [05:38] so lucid is ubuntu 10.4 [05:38] KDE's "plain" themes have always supported rearranging [05:38] hi.. i want to install wubi in windows.. i get a error when I double click the installer.. cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO.. [05:38] KDE, Xfce, and most other sane window managers have UIs for changing window control location, yes. [05:38] KXTwo: development codename from when 10.04 was being made [05:38] GNOME is... odd. [05:38] 10.04 [05:39] what is 10.10 thats what im running? [05:39] but for a while there was a popular one [default on some distros] that hardcoded with the close button on the left i think [05:39] KXTwo: maverick [05:39] Sweet. === gordon is now known as Guest33795 [05:39] Maverick Meerkat [05:39] im running 64 bit 10.10 so far so good [05:39] Jeffirssi: lol [05:39] 0.10 has been great for me [05:39] 10.10 has been great for me [05:39] hey guys does in gparted im creating a new partition table, does it matter what i go with? msdos, mac, etc? [05:40] I'm logged into the same channel from two different machines running two different OSes. :D [05:40] does X windows still exist, I remember that was a GUI I used on slackware back in the day I think [05:40] KXTwo: If you go to System>Administration>System Monitor, on the first tab you will find the version number and codename of your release [05:40] Guest33795: go with msdos unless you know you need to use something else [05:40] I recommend ext4 but dont knwo what you are doing lol [05:40] itll just be a second drive for movies, videos, etc [05:40] how to configure postfix to use gmailapps in ubuntu 10.04 [05:40] EXT4 is greate [05:40] KXTwo: "X windows" was never the proper name of it, and it's a generic term for the thing they _all_ run on [05:40] partition table format != filesystem format. ext4 is a filesystem format ;P [05:41] then kde was it [05:41] as you can tell im a "novice" but not a pure beginner, I have a general understanding [05:41] that was going to be my next question, hehe3 [05:41] !postfix [05:41] postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu.

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 [05:56] gaelfx: this might be a learningn opportunity, is there a simple way I could send you a screen shot? I thought I used to do tht on here back in the day [05:56] By default, the root password hash is !. [05:56] dtrf4837: This is setup so since sudo is used for all root tasks, do read the wiki for more info.

[06:00] hey guys, i was literally just in here when i was talking about my hard drive partition, and it just shut off the whole comp. [06:00] KXTwo, of course it will [06:00] andrew__: CPUs can get to well over 120 degrees. [06:01] JeffCBR: you talking C or F [06:01] the pc wouldnt start up until i removed the sata power cable, think the hd is broken? [06:01] psycho_oreos: I take it that means you are a supporter? I really liked it on windows it was lite, and easy to use and I loved how easy it was to add to playlists [06:01] KXTwo, VLC is the only video player worth using in Ubuntu [06:01] Not C! [06:01] Jeez... [06:01] F. [06:01] uRock: ahh that makes me feel better lol [06:01] JeffCBR: mines idling at 52 C... could that be why my comp keeps shuting off [06:02] hi all [06:02] An overheating CPU can cause that. [06:02] 52 is not bad [06:02] or possibily a problem with gparted? [06:02] KXTwo, not a dedicated VLC supporter, I do use it every so often [06:02] I don't know what 52 C is in F. [06:02] hi OhioEric83 [06:02] But, it doesn't sound too high. [06:02] could someone tell me where I could download the latest alpha of 11.04? [06:02] JeffCBR: its ~120ish [06:02] uRock: ok heres another question. I am noticing a lot of programs, that you dont just download and install like you would with windows, but instead you install it right through unbuntu what is that all about? [06:02] <^Phantom^> JeffCBR, i converted [06:02] <^Phantom^> 52c is 125.6° Fahrenheit [06:02] OhioEric83: /join #ubuntu+1, see its /topic [06:02] !google > OhioEric83 [06:02] OhioEric83, please see my private message [06:03] oh [06:03] oh and another question, is there a way to turn off logging or whatever its called, im tired of seeing who has logged in and out [06:03] uRock: You may want to read that factoid yourself. [06:03] I would think that's not it, andrew__ . [06:03] KXTwo: http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Hide_join_part_messages [06:03] JeffCBR: Use screen/byobu, if in X/Gnome, ctrl+shift+t will get you a new tab in gnome-terminal. [06:03] uRock: i did google it. typical lolbuntu user [06:03] rww: thank you sir [06:03] JeffCBR: hmmm im running it without GUI and a minecraft server [06:04] rww: ty [06:04] KXTwo, they b called repos, this way you get all of the library files needed for the program to properly work with your system [06:04] In the summer here in SoCal, I can overheat sometimes. [06:04] I guess ohio left [06:04] uRock: that is comletely new to me, when I played with lin ux back in the day you had to still download and install [06:04] I used to have to make sure not to keep the CPU going at full bore for very long. [06:05] rww, I have read it [06:05] andrew__: You CPU will get hotter with higher loads, obviously. [06:05] why he expected someone else to do it for him was beyond me [06:05] Can you monitor the temperature and stress it? [06:05] JeffCBR: its my gfx card, i think [06:05] uRock: Okay. Please elaborate on what a factoid about how telling people to Google things is impolite has to do with the location of 11.04 downloads. [06:05] not cpu, its the integrated card, yet i have a dedicated one [06:06] Is the on board card disabled in bios? [06:06] rww, he was telling us to do the google for him [06:06] idk [06:06] Check. [06:06] k [06:06] 1 sec [06:06] rww, that is the way I took it [06:06] ahh so much quieter [06:07] uRock: uh huh. [06:07] I am not one to tell people to google unless it is guaranteed win [06:07] Hey guys, here is an easy one - how can I get iked to load as root at startup in 10.10? [06:07] arand: Not sure what screen/byobu is. [06:08] uRock, we dont tell people to google here. Ever. [06:08] hi everyone, i'm not sure if i'm in the right place but i am trying to get rhythmbox working again [06:08] JeffCBR: A terminal multiplexer ;) [06:08] bazhang, I'll just leave them hanging with silly questions like the one he asked, no problem [06:08] arand: How do I cycle between the terminal tabs I create using Ctrl+Shift+T? [06:09] SleepyCow2: root crontab? [06:09] uRock, there are no silly questions. Just don't answer if you so choose. [06:09] That works for now. But, eventually, I'll be logging in via ssh.

That's working for now. :D [06:09] lol [06:10] other than being told how does a person know which one to chose? [06:10] is there a program like BSD watch for ubuntu? [06:10] please [06:10] dtrf4837: also, make your passwords longer. 24chars... way better. :) [06:10] I just did the search and the daily release was at the top of the list http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=ubuntu+11.04+download [06:10] when i start rhythmbox it hangs and then it dims with no errors at all and i can't click on anything [06:10] arand: Would a terminal multiplexer be appropriate for remote ssh access? [06:10] tanyone know how to fix it? [06:10] JeffCBR: Screen is a terminal multiplexer, i.e. window manager, kind-of, byobu is a ubuntu default skin for screen [06:10] JeffCBR: Very much so [06:10] RAP_IS_CRAP: sounds like it's freezing up buddy [06:11] yeah [06:11] Ah. :D [06:11] uRock: Good. It's easy for you to link people directly to the daily release page if you forget its URL. [06:11] you know how to fix that? [06:11] cschneid you mean thats not a good password? [06:11] dtrf4837: it's certainly not bad. But at the point you have non-memorable passwords, might as well go all-out [06:11] is there a program like BSD watch for ubuntu? [06:11] i tried reinstalling it with same results [06:11] this package manager is totally new to me I have to do some research on this [06:11] RAP_IS_CRAP: you should try vlc wor w/e [06:11] Ah, never mind. In case anyone saw my question, it's being addressed by YokoZar [06:11] ubottu: repeat | ronaldX [06:11] ronaldX: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [06:11] arand: So, just "screen" after I log in.

[06:13] anyways its too late i changed my password lol [06:13] No, can I configure Ubuntu to not boot into Gnome automatically? [06:13] oh, sorry, my bad cschneid and rww [06:14] SleepyCow2: yes, it does let you start at boot to [06:14] Most of the time, there won't be a monitor even attached. [06:14] cschneid, I only saw the free password part [06:14] uRock: you find anything yet? [06:14] uRock: so I installed vlc media player but with windows I had the option to select multiple files right click and add to playlist, im not see it on here [06:14] ronaldX, what is the problem? [06:14] uRock is there a program like BSD's watch for ubuntu? [06:14] I wish there were a way you could keep certain programs up to date and still be able to upgrade without problems [06:14] dragging works but prefer the other way lol [06:14] Anyone use Damn Small Linux before? [06:14] I used the live cd briefly [06:14] Actual question branching off this. I use 1password for mac & windows. Is there a compatible program in linux? Or alternatively, a similar program (generator, storage of passwords) [06:15] ronaldX, I have no clue what BSD's watch is [06:15] if i edit crontab for root, that will load for all users?

[06:44] uRock: nononono, the user password IS NOT the root pw, but the first user created is in the admin group tho [06:45] so what am i supposed to type when synaptic package manager asks for password? all i have is my username password [06:45] ilon, same difference [06:45] dtrf4837, that's what you type [06:45] uRock: no [06:46] dtrf4837, same password you log in to the system with [06:46] uRock: root is an actual user, admin is a group with the rights to administrate the system, HUGE differense [06:46] coz then why does it say its incorrect password...i never have problem with it when i'm logging in [06:46] dtrf4837: root and the first user start out with the same password but can change them independently later [06:46] dtrf4837: Check your caps lock key. [06:47] dtrf4837, is there another account? [06:47] dtrf4837: try typing the password in a a terminal tp see that you keymap is correct and all [06:47] dtrf4837, that one I dont know... as JeffCBR mentione check caps lock key [06:47] Chipzzz: I don't believe that's the case with ubuntu. [06:47] how can i scroll the window in irssi? [06:47] ilon, I see what you are saying, but conceptually I think of my admin account as being root, because I have the power [06:47] dtrf4837, generall I disable caps lock key and replace it with another ctrl key [06:47] Intrepid i initially installed server then installed desktop from command line...could that cause it? [06:47] how can I put a folder link in nautilus to a remote ftp directory as root ? [06:48] dtrf4837: and try typing 'id' in a terminal, and check that admin is included as gid [06:48] i dont have any other account === q_a_z_steve_ is now known as q_a_z_steve [06:48] JeffCBR: If you still are working on that http://serverfault.com/questions/137776/disable-gdm-in-ubuntu-10-04 has some suggestions as well. === q_a_z_steve is now known as q_a_z_steve_ [06:48] hmm, then whatever the server password was, should still be the same as your user one [06:48] my capslock is off [06:49] uRock: to use something and to own something is different, but yes, you have the means to do about everything with your useraccount thats in the admin group [06:49] really if you installed the desktop, then it's the same password for that [06:49] JeffCBR: I haven't done it but in sudo su you should be able to change root's & in a regular shell your own [06:49] arand: I am, thanks. [06:50] dtrf4837: If you run "gksudo ls" and "gksu ls" do they both work? [06:50] i typed 'gksudo' and 'Run program' came up [06:51] i typed 'id' and i see my username as gid === q_a_z_steve_ is now known as q_a_z_steve [06:52] sorry. Now I'm done. [06:52] i typed gksu and the run program came up again [06:52] !thankyou rww [06:52] dtrf4837, try gksudo synaptic put in your regular password and see what the terminal sptis out [06:53] ok [06:53] Anybody have issues with videos on youtube delaying and then acting strangely? [06:53] Ycarene, strange how? [06:53] Ycarene, other than buffering issues no [06:54] ok i typed gksudo synaptic and i got in! [06:54] Ycarene: try installing the properitary package from adobe for flash [06:54] thanks coz [06:55] after typing the password i mean [06:55] dtrf4837, ok so you now are sure your regular password is the right one [06:55] Well, the video plays the first second of sound, and shows the first frame, then sits there with the little circle in the middle, which is frozen, then about 30 seconds later the audio picks up at where it would be if it had not frozen, and it shows the second frame. If I manually click the progress bar and bring it back to the beginning, it works, but I can't click any of the links in the video window when its finished. [06:55] Ycarene, that's pretty strange, haven't had that yet [06:55] Ycarene, put the video on pause untill the buffer completes [06:56] anyone aware of this problem? "can't create bookmarks to the root folder of remote shares by drag & dropping it into nautilus' Places" [06:56] Videos from other sites plain don't play. [06:56] Ycarene, or install the video downloadhelper plugin for firefox and simply download the video [06:56] Ycarene, did you install the restricted extras? [06:56] I don't seem to have this issue in chromium. [06:56] ahh here is a question is there a way I can get my volume control to show me a percentage as well as a bar? [06:57] coz_ - restricted extras? [06:57] !restricted-extras [06:57] Ycarene, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:57] Anyone know why my Kingston Ethernet card suddenly started being detect as a "Lite-On" card? [06:57] And this isn't just in linux. [06:57] i'm trying System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager again and it still wont accept my password if i do it this way...i dont get it [06:57] In many different windows versions, as well. [06:58] jeffcbr - firmware update? [06:58] JeffCBR, could be the chip firmware [06:58] dtrf4837, it should be the same pw you used to login [06:58] JeffCBR: chips are probably lite-on [06:58] also the same password that you just used [06:58] haha, sorry coz_ [06:58] KXTwo, I dont know if that is possible [06:58] coz_ - looks like I have it installed already. [06:58] Thing is, it was working fine before then stopped. [06:59] Ycarene, mm in terminal lcpci | grep -i vga [06:59] lspci [06:59] dtrf4837: Again, did you try the two commands I said, and did they both work? [06:59] Ycarene, yeah sorry lspci | grep -i vga [06:59] i keep going back and forth between that and System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager and typing 'gksudo synaptic' and i keep getting the same results....password will only work for the latter [06:59] hello, anyone install ubuntu with hard drive encryption? [06:59] dissipate, I have not [06:59] can the link of the password be broken? [07:00] 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 9400 GT] (rev a1) [07:00] I installed my video drivers but I dont think im getting the quality I should be [07:00] arand like i said before yes i tried both and they worked [07:00] dissipate, i have, but after i forgot my password and had to remember how to get it back, i stopped [07:00] Ycarene, and you already installed the nvidia driver ...yes? [07:00] dissipate, you will need to use the Alternate Installer [07:00] dtrf4837: gksu accepts your password? [07:00] uRock, where do i get that from? i searched and couldn't find it. [07:01] I tried deleting all of my firefox settings but then it won't play at all. [07:01] dissipate, one second [07:01] Ycarene, did you install the nvidia driver? [07:01] arand oh no...didn't go that far...sorry let me check [07:01] Oh, yes, quite a while ago. [07:01] uRock, ok [07:01] Ycarene, ok so you already rebooted after doing that [07:01] dissipate, are you looking for the LTS(10.04) or the newest(10.10)? [07:01] arand the 'Run program' doesnt ask for password [07:01] most definately [07:02] uRock, newest with complete hard drive encryption option. [07:02] Ycarene, which version of ubuntu are you running? [07:02] arand: Where's this Admin->Services area? [07:02] maverick [07:02] JeffCBR: System menu [07:03] JeffCBR: doesnt exist [07:03] System->Admin? [07:03] Ycarene, then I am puzzled... it should be working fine with what you have === PicCard_Away is now known as PicCard [07:03] maco2: Oh, not present in menus? [07:03] arand: wait what? its still around? but its not even compatible with the system! [07:03] It's gotta be something I installed or changed but damned if I know what. [07:03] dissipate, ubuntu 10.10 is about half way down the page. I will send you the link for instructions in just a minute. http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com// [07:03] arand: the old services-admin was for SysV Init. Ubuntu doesn't use that === Snowdrift_ is now known as Snowdrift [07:04] i'm wondering if this password problem has to do with the fact that i kept getting errors when i was trying to burn iso to cd? [07:04] I have an issue -- I'm switching my office from Windows to Ubuntu, and we routinely use Postscript files. They display and print perfectly well on Windows using GSView (ghostscript), but on Ubuntu, all they display in GSView (gv) is an embedded image in the postscript and nothing more. Am I missing a package or something? [07:04] dtrf4837, if you mean for the OS, then i doubt it, just because normally that would mean that you wouldn't be able to install... [07:05] maco2: Are we thinking of the same thing? the gnome-session-properties application? [07:05] arand: thatd be Sessions, not Services [07:05] dtrf4837, although hey, weirder things have probably happened [07:05] uRock, ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386.iso is the one i want? [07:05] coz_ - lemme try re-installing the flash plugin. [07:05] I don't see Sessions or Services [07:05] arand: and actually in 10.10 the menu entry is named Startup now [07:05] Intrepid how weird is my password problem? [07:05] dissipate, yes, for a 32bit system [07:06] Ok. [07:06] maco2: JeffCBR: Ah, right, it is named services in debian, sorry. [07:06] I have an issue with iptables i have this iptables statement and i need to know where is the log stored: $IPTABLES -A TCPF_CHECK -p tcp --tcp-flags ALL FIN,URG,PSH -m limit \ [07:06] uRock, ok downloading now. [07:06] And it's in Preferences? [07:06] how do i control fan-speed in ubuntu? [07:06] --limit 5/minute -j LOG --log-level 7 --log-prefix "NMAP-CHECK:" [07:06] JeffCBR: Administration [07:06] uRock, i'm surprised HD encryption is not available as an option in the standard installer. [07:06] choices, I believe sudo apt-get instll moxplugger for viewing in firefox but let me check further [07:06] Well, that didn't work. [07:07] arand: i think you're confused. there were *both* Services and Sessions at one point in the menu. Services went away from Ubuntu when we got Upstart, and Sessions was recently renamed to Startup. one controlled stuff run at boot, the other stuff run at login [07:07] plz help me!! [07:07] Startup Applications Preferences is in Preferences, but there is no option for gnome, except the startup sound. [07:07] how do i control fan-speed in ubuntu? [07:07] Admin has nothing for startup, services, or sessions. [07:08] The GUI takes up too much of the space needed for the install files. dissipate [07:08] choices, actually that is mozplugger [07:08] * maco2 grabs 10.10 vm [07:08] uRock, ah i see. [07:08] coz_, thanks...though same problem [07:08] hi, i need to know where is the iptables log stored, the statement is: $IPTABLES -A TCPF_CHECK -p tcp --tcp-flags ALL FIN,URG,PSH -m limit \ [07:08] choices, let me do a bit of a search [07:08] --limit 5/minute -j LOG --log-level 7 --log-prefix "NMAP-CHECK:" [07:08] coz_, thanks, i did find an unanswered thread about it on the ubuntu forums [07:09] coz_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=873847 [07:09] maco2: JeffCBR: Ah, right, yea, there might not be a gui way to configure it then. [07:09] choices, this is a painful way but take a look http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/ps2eps.1.html [07:09] dissipate, I can't find the ubuntu doc on doing the encrypted install, but I have used it in the past and it is offered when you get to the partitioning setup [07:09] JeffCBR: i have System -> Preferences -> STartup Applications [07:10] JeffCBR: that has a Startup Programs tab in which a list of things to start at login are visible, and an Add button [07:10] Yes, but I don't see a way to turn off Gnome in there. === aslan is now known as Aslan1 [07:10] I guess I could just remove the package? [07:10] coz_ - Ahh, that did it, for some reason firefox was using gnash instead of the adobe plugin. [07:10] JeffCBR: OOOOH. i see what you mean. thats for configuring what to run *after you login to gnome* [07:10] JeffCBR: so you want to just go to a text login? remove gdm [07:10] Ycarene, there you go [07:10] dtrf4837, i would say pretty weird, never had that happened, that youtube problem Yc is having might be slightly stranger [07:10] uRock, thanks for trying to find it. i'm looking at this right now: http://joernfranz.wordpress.com/2011/01/20/installing-ubuntu-10-10-with-full-disk-encryption/ [07:11] coz_, that worked! [07:11] dissipate, this page covers all of the cool stuff you can do with partitioning to include encryption https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/installation-guide/i386/module-details.html#di-partition [07:11] Well... I want to have gdm there when I need it. [07:11] coz_ - That's strange, I installed gnash as an afterthought months ago, I wonder why it started using it over adobe, oh well, my own fault. [07:11] coz_, surely there has to be something i can install that will fix that [07:11] JeffCBR: you could edit gdm's script then [07:11] uRock, cool, thanks! [07:11] Ok, maco. [07:11] Where is it? [07:11] dissipate, you are welcome [07:12] choices, that seems reasonable thinking so hold on let me keep checking [07:12] coz_, thank you so much [07:12] any one have knowledge with iptables????????????????????????????????????????????// [07:12] while i'm doing this... what's the ssh server again? [07:13] openssh-server [07:13] thanks [07:13] JeffCBR: im looking for it [07:14] coz_, i think the version I download for windows (4.9) is different than the one on ubuntu (3.7.1) [07:14] choices, they seem to open in gimp but that is also painful so hold on [07:15] and putty in Windows [07:15] ? [07:15] choices, I believe ps2pdf will convert it to pdf [07:15] coz_, ok cool....maybe I can can install gsview 4.9 from source or rig up a wrapper app to convert it and open it on the fly [07:16] choices, possibly [07:16] coz_, unfortuantely ps2pdf changes the dimensions ever so slightly, and we're printing onto a form [07:16] JeffCBR: /etc/init/gdm.conf [07:16] choices, ah ok good to know [07:16] localhost [07:16] Is there anything in server edition, that isn't in desktop? for my server that I am going to be setting up, couldn't I just install desktop edition in leu of server edition, or would there be essential things missing? [07:17] JeffCBR: so to double check: you dont want gdm to run by default, but you want the option to start it manually? [07:17] yeah, I'd like to be able to just hit startx === matiu is now known as Guest27603 [07:17] choices, gsview is rather old ...yes? [07:17] JeffCBR: you dont need gdm to use startx... [07:17] ok... [07:17] hey guys, I'm trying to get my Dell v715w printer going .. anyone know if there's like a cups ppd file for it or something ? [07:17] hlp cc nor gcc locate anything in the software center [07:18] JeffCBR: but to disable without removing it, i think commenting out the "start on" and its associated chunks of parentheses in /etc/init/gdm.conf should do it [07:18] coz_, oh i guess it is...but that is what works on our windows computers === guru_ is now known as Guest69587 [07:18] how about mv gdm.conf gdm.conf.bak [07:18] ? [07:18] choices, let me check it out...you would have to compile from source so let me see if it does hold on [07:19] JeffCBR: I just tried on a vm the first suggestion at http://serverfault.com/questions/137776/disable-gdm-in-ubuntu-10-04 seems to work [07:19] JeffCBR: You might want to remove "splash" from the grub boot line as well. [07:19] hi [07:20] on a 10.10 vm? [07:20] JeffCBR: yep === Guest69587 is now known as dadhi [07:20] ...... [07:20] ok. and I would be able to start gnome how, then? [07:20] choices, thats going to take a bit of work to compile [07:21] coz_, yeah...i'll see if theres an option in gv i'm missing [07:21] choices, also visit the ##linux channel... someone there may have some other solutions [07:21] JeffCBR: it will then stop at the boot splash screen, so you'll ned to press ctrl+alt+F2 to login, and you'll have the purple bakground, but disabling the splash might take care of that [07:21] coz_, thank you so much for your help [07:21] choices, no problem [07:22] choices, if you find a viable solution let me know === choices is now known as choicescs [07:23] choicescs, I believe lyx has a post script import option but lyx is an even more complex way of dealing with this since the entire package is well over 6 gigs [07:23] rhater well over 4 gigs [07:23] sweet... I'm sshing to my machine now. :D [07:24] How about remote desktop? [07:24] if i click on Terminal > Reset and Clear, isn't that supposed to automatically let me type a new command? i still have to type ctrl + c each time? [07:24] Hey guys, will "cd /var/cache/apt/archives && sudo rm *.*" clean the cache up? I mean, will it be advisable to do so? [07:24] dtrf4837: that just clears the screen [07:25] YouKay: do "sudo apt-get clean" instead. [07:25] YouKay: sudo apt-get clean would do [07:25] maco2 what about when i click just 'Reset'...that doesn't seem to do anything? [07:25] dtrf4837: ctrl+c ends the previous command. i think you want to use & after your commands in order to background them and therefore make it available for more commands [07:25] rww: maco2: Oh, much appreciated. Thanks, it seems better === blazie0 is now known as blaize [07:25] dtrf4837: reset is for fixing it when a command corrupts the terminal === dadhi_ is now known as dadhi [07:26] maco2 ok thanks [07:26] !vnc | JeffCBR [07:26] JeffCBR: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [07:26] dtrf4837: "cat /dev/urandom" will corrupt the terminal if run for a very long time, for example [07:26] dtrf4837: "job control" is the thing you want to read up on for how to use 1 terminal for lots of stuff at once [07:26] maco2 i'll do that === snimavat is now known as sn [07:27] Cool. [07:27] Kick rocks, mIRC. === sn is now known as Guest13148 === Guest13148 is now known as snim === JeffSSH is now known as JeffCBR [07:30] hi [07:30] hi [07:31] I'm moving my system, cleaning up in the process. What do I need to copy in order for Firefox to work as before after copying to a new system?

[07:31] Test [07:31] Hmmm... [07:32] exit [07:32] it says 'Applying changes' but i dont see any sign of progress [07:32] jo-erlend: my guess is ~/.mozilla [07:33] Ok. In byobu now. How to get a new prompt? [07:33] ctrl + a + c [07:34] JeffCBR: ctrl+a c [07:34] JeffCBR: let go after ctrl+a [07:34] maco2++ [07:34] And how to cycle them? [07:34] Hi everyone. I just installed 10.10. Which jdk should I install? [07:34] ctrl + a + n [07:35] Excellent. That will do nicely. Thanks.

There are methods to remove bluetooth from startup, soft block bluetooth, etc. But did'nt find how to make bluetooth start in "off" state. [07:42] is anyone here familiar with hp proliant servers?

Thanks a ton for all the help tonight. arand: Thanks, especially. I'll be back. :D [07:46] amit: Which OS are you running virtual box on? [07:46] fedora [07:46] i bet you could go to launchpad and ask on ubuntu answers....somebody is bound to know :) [07:46] JeffCBR: Glad to help [07:47] amit: sorry budy no idea here, somebody else will help you, wait a moment and ask again. [07:47] ok thanx [07:49] i know...run a macro on startup to perform the sequence of shutting it off [07:50] hello everyone [07:50] I'm kinda new [07:51] and have some queries [07:52] Hello, I am trying to install edubuntu on a brand new computer with no prior OS. I have a bootable USB that works on other computers, but in this computer I get a "boot error" message and nothing else. Does anyone have any ideas on cause, and solution? [07:52] bluepicaso: Ask away. [07:52] hey red2kic [07:53] !hi | bluepicaso [07:53] masai47, do you know if the computer allows usb boot? [07:53] I would like to know if it would be any chance to use gnome3 with new ubuntu11 [07:54] I dont want to use unity, New gnome3 looks awesome and more friendly [07:54] <_skpl> bluepicaso: try gnome-shell [07:54] is openjdk in the repos stable enough? Or should i install proprietary oracle jdk? [07:54] Blue1: the gnome you know will still be available [07:54] really [07:54] Metalwolf|l: it is brand new, and when I go to boot options it allows me to select the usb [07:55] bluepicaso: yes, and gnome-shell is in the repos now [07:55] hmm, it should work then, so either something is wrong with the board or the stick [07:55] i would try it on another system and if it works then i would probably try a boot manager [07:56] I mean i'm still with 10.10. and new version has unity as default. [07:56] bluepicaso: me too, but the regular gnome will still be available in 11.04 [07:56] metalwolf|L: shall I pull out another computer and check? (setting up a computer lab and its a bit over my head) I had no problem booting into the live environment on the USB on my netbook a few minutes ago [07:56] ok archoille [07:57] Metalwolf|L: what do you mean by boot manager? [07:57] archoille | so with new version i just have to update gnome? [07:57] so im guessing this isnt a home setup then [07:57] i mean with new version of ubuntu? [07:58] when im using a system that doesnt allow booting with usb i use a boot manager called plop [07:58] bluepicaso: it will be in the repos at the very least. Have you tried Unity yet? I ran it for a week and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be [07:58] masai47: i can't help you but just to let you know i had that problem before on a usb-stick running it as a live boot then trying to install it on a different computer the usb-stick didn't work anymore had to reinstall the OS again [07:58] you put in the usb stick and plop cd [07:58] How can I get Ubuntu server to install from a USB DVD Drive? [07:58] archoille no i haven't but i have seen the screenshots and unity does not have great reviews [08:00] ve2: cant u use unetbootin? [08:00] bluepicaso: those bad reviews are likely from people who used the old unity, which was based on mutter, and the new unity (based on compiz) is much faster and more complete. I talked with Mark Shuttleworth and he said their still polishing it [08:01] oh read that wrong sorry [08:01] umm ok archoille [08:01] i have an hp proliant dl320 server, i just tried installing ubuntu server edition 10.04 and i selected to use the raid that it detected but when i got to installing the bootloader it said it could not install to /dev/sda [08:01] Park7, what is that? [08:01] so we can always switch from unity to gnome? [08:01] thought you said thumb drive [08:01] No, usb dvd drive. [08:01] My server doesn't have a dvd drive. [08:01] anyone?> [08:02] bluepicaso: regular gnome will still be available in 11.04 [08:02] I'm using a usb dvd drive to boot & the instaler loads and then fails saying it cant find media [08:02] is there a (test) version of the Ubuntu Monospace font somewhere? [08:02] which is the same for any other linux distro [08:02] my eyes are tired... well every bios should have a boot options menu, so when you activate it, you can boot from you usb device...ie your dvd drive [08:03] :/ [08:03] I said it is booting from the disc. [08:03] What happens when the mayan calendar ends? [08:03] The issue is the installer does not work with usb dvd drives. [08:03] oh...wow crazy [08:03] I am wondering if there are some boot options I need to use or something. [08:03] eoss: the mayams are extinct mostly so I doubt they will mind. [08:04] is anyone here familiar with hp proliant servers? [08:04] I am a little bit. [08:04] will the magnetic poles shift? [08:04] archoille i'm sorry i may sound foolish, its jjust few months with linux. so its like gnome will be there as always with unity. and we can choose while upgrading or install? [08:05] HI === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn [08:05] I typed "man ls" in terminal, and how do I go back? [08:05] q [08:05] press q [08:06] if your burned dvd is flagged bootable, it should be no problem. i'm wondering if you should try installing from a usb stick using unetbootin just to see if your dvd drive isnt allowing boot for some reason [08:06] archoille please dont get irritated :( [08:06] I don't think you understand the issue [08:06] It is booting from the dvd drive & loading the installer. [08:06] aah, then? [08:07] As in it gets the load screen for ubu [08:07] ConcreteVitamin q to quit or exit back to prompt$ [08:07] After that, it fails & says it cannot find the media. [08:07] So linux is not loading modules for my usb dvd drive [08:07] At least I assume that is it. [08:07] Ve2: thanks. [08:07] NP. [08:08] ve2: can you start the ubuntu server as a live cd without installing? [08:08] I am getting the same boot error on another machine (with the same hardware setup) but I know this USB live environment works on other computers. I have a problem that I am working on a netbook so I dont have a CD drive. Do you think I should try something like basic ubuntu and see if I can then burn some CDs (on the new computers)? [08:08] Taffy: thanks! [08:08] metalwolf|L: so if I use a boot manager what would I do? (you also asked about the environment, it will be pretty close to a home environment, just basic edubuntu install on 4 machines that are not networked in any way) [08:08] Ve2: You can work around the problem by using the minimal / netinstall iso. Everything is contained in the initrd, so no native drivers for the CD drive are needed. [08:08] NP i'm just observing and learning what i can [08:08] I've tried with a fedora netisnt disc and it didn't work. [08:09] Would ubuntu-server be different? [08:09] Ve2: *aren't needed [08:09] Also I was using the minimal install. [08:09] hi all [08:09] What does "." before the file (of course as well as directory) name imply? [08:09] masai47, a boot manager acts somewhat like grub [08:09] Ve2: What was the exact error message you saw? [08:10] con-man, : the file will be hidden. [08:10] Inside of System -- Preferences --- System Settings there is a mapping key for Ctrl-r or F5 for refreshing the desktop but can't find out how to add to right Click "Context Menu" any know how to add it [08:10] you boot into it and it will give you a menu of devices you want to boot into [08:10] Jordan_U, it's the standard cannot find boot media error. [08:10] It's funny because I can verify the disk [08:10] But as soon as I go to install [08:10] aok so I'm ignored just coz i was stupid to ask questions [08:10] it wont let me. [08:10] you can select usb and it will boot a thumbdrive even if your bios doesnt have usb boot support [08:10] Ve2: It doesn' [08:11] Ve2: ... doesn't make any sense for that error to be shown. Exactly what iso did you use? [08:11] is gmail down? [08:11] I know it doesn't make any sense. [08:11] But the thing is I have tried ubu serverminimal [08:11] as well as normal ubu 10.04 [08:11] and fedora 14 [08:11] & will try centos 5.5 soon [08:11] gmail works for me [08:11] Ve2: What is the exact iso you used (link or md5sum)? [08:12] hm [08:12] Is there a wAy to use SSH on Ubuntu?

[08:14] Ve2, since gnome will me available with ubutnu11.04. what will be the default interface, gnome or unity after the upgrade from 10.10? [08:14] Your question has already been answered, bluepicaso. [08:14] <_skpl> how come unity doesnt work on ubuntu 10.10? anyone know? [08:14] Ve2: You want minimal? There are 12MB iso on the servers. [08:14] Unity will be the default, gnome will still be available. [08:15] Yes but if the fedora minimal disc doesn't boot, will ubu-server? [08:15] Just worried about burning moar coasters [08:15] is all. [08:15] Ve2 | so how could i switch and upgrade to gnome3? [08:15] It's not even out yet. [08:15] Ve2: I don't know. In my past experience, Fedora Desktop was flaky when it comes to my laptop. [08:15] How should I know. [08:16] Ve2 i know but [08:16] i'm afraid [08:16] <_skpl> haha [08:16] Then don't upgrade. [08:16] I found gnome3 more awesome that unity [08:16] lol [08:16] You haven't seen unity. [08:16] It's not released yet. [08:16] nops [08:16] Ve2: Can use usb stick?

[08:17] bluepicaso: gnome-shell is in the repos now, I'm sure it will be in the repos for 11.04. You're worrying yourself over something trivial :) [08:17] <_skpl> gnome3 comes out the same month as 11.04, right?

[08:32] ardchoille, I do it because "then I know for sure" - I've always had a particular preference for setting up my disks and where swaps are and how things are mounted - aside from the fact that I have preferences to particular filesystems - and it certainly doesn't hurt to LOOK at what the partitioning scheme is when you're new to the entire show...helps to understand how the disk is used by the system. [08:32] ardchoille: Thanks, that is what I was thinking. The next school I am going to is where it is really complicated because I want to have all the computers save /home on a central server and boot off of that, but they would also be thick clients (I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to this stuff) [08:32] YankDownUnder: Very true [08:33] masai47: ok, then you might take a look at the link juk posted [08:34] Mike__: do you have dhcp on router?

[09:19] ardchoille: Because I run it in cron [09:19] and cron treats '%' like a newline [09:19] ardchoile:why?

Maybe I should save the gzipped file locally and copy it with cp -f to the NFS share ? [09:23] or /quit? [09:23] Blorg28: Not exactly. I sure know how to do so, but I'd like to know the general-case solution. [09:23] <[deXter]> It's never too late to quit irssi. Talk to your local support group for more assistance. Think about your family. [09:23] ConcreteVitamin, ctrl C exits most command line programs [09:23] [deXter]: lol [09:24] ConcreteVitamin: there is no general case.

[09:55] kiwidood, well ... it certainly is possible, but i would not recommend it. Why not try ubuntu in a virtual machine? [09:55] Jordan_U: and ~/bin is automagically on the system path for that user i assume? [09:55] alsuna yes, but I don't want to install ubuntu from within windows itself [09:56] I want to install ubuntu to its own partition [09:56] brontosaurusrex: Yes (though it's only added to $PATH if it exists when you log in). [09:56] rumpe1, my laptop couldn't handle it unfortunately [09:56] brontosaurusrex: grep bin ~/.profile [09:56] Jordan_U: ok [09:57] ljsoftnet: Yes. Name it something like "undelflv" and make sure that its permissions are set to allow execution. [09:57] kiwidood: yes that's exactly what that installer will do: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide [09:57] llutz: i see [09:58] alsuna oh? I always thought it actually installed itself in the NTFS partition with wubi [09:58] kiwidood: It does. [09:58] And that's what I don't want to happen [09:59] kiwidood, it creates a container-file on ntfs and uses it as a virtual drive *afaik* [09:59] I want to somehow install ubuntu to a ex3 partition from within windows [09:59] not sure if it can be done though [09:59] kiwidood: don't use wubi then [09:59] kiwidood: It can, but not easily (probably not worth it). [09:59] Hey would it be possible to install ubuntu to a formated partition from windows? I don't have any CD/DVD to burn the iso to and no flash drive to boot it from [09:59] Jordan_U: so il just run the file, and start streaming the flash video? [09:59] ^ [10:00] kiwidood, a agree with Jordan_U ... it will be too complicated. Windows alone is just too stupid for this task. [10:00] ljsoftnet: Load the video, wait for it to be completely downloaded, then run the script to copy the video file into /tmp/ where you can access it. [10:00] I just compiled and installed a lib into /usr/local/lib, but it doesn't showup when I run ldconfig -p.. how to fix? [10:00] rumpe1 Challenge accepted. [10:00] Jordan_U ok [10:00] Guys, how to change my default shell from zsh to bash? Should I edit the /etc/passwd file and change it manually? [10:01] kiwidood, in worst case you will crush your windows :> [10:01] Hi there. I have a USB storage device sometimes attached to my machine and want it to automount when present. Upon bootup if it isn't present then I get a 'Press S to skip mount or M for manual recovery'. Any way to prevent this behaviour so that I don't have to interactively press 'S' ? [10:01] rumpe1 this does not scare me in the slightest tbh [10:01] kiwidood, well... and if windows doesnt work anymore ... how do you boot your laptop? [10:01] hello, i installed ubuntu server for the first time and i have some troubles getting apache starting. i get the error ${APACHE_RUN_USER} [10:02] rumpe1 with great difficulty, but that is not a worry for me [10:02] kiwidood: i think the easiest must be to get a usb stick and boot from that, if your bios supports that [10:02] kiwidood: If you want to try the challenge look at Wubi's source code to see how they load grub from ntldr/bcd, then create your own grub.cfg with an entry to loop boot an Ubuntu iso: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg [10:02] or actually the compile and linking of the program I'm compiling works but when I run it is cant find the shared object...

[10:30] speedy_: most linux-freaks would call your (correct) statement "blasphemy" :) [10:30] target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init [10:30] No init found try passing init = bootarg [10:30] juk, i tried the live CD, but i can only get to the terminal by pressing Ctrl Alt F1. The GUI doesn't seem to load [10:31] and i am not sure what do to from the terminal [10:32] clu3, Have you checked the CD to make sure it's not corrupted? [10:32] clu3: backup files first i'd do [10:32] hello, How do I force Network manager to use a specific usb device for EVDO? I'm able to connect fine with ppp because I can force it to use /dev/ttyUSB2 [10:33] lo [10:33] juk, thanks. YankDownUnder i'm pretty sure it is [10:33] Anyone here play with wine much? [10:33] hilarie: guys in #winehq do [10:33] ty [10:33] YankDownUnder, i mean it is OK, not corrupted [10:34] hilarie: do you mean play (tweak) or play (games) ? [10:34] trying to upgrade a 10.4 install to 10.10 - receive an error "an unresolvable problem occurred... Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages"... any idea on how to fix this? [10:34] is there a log somewhere i can see which packages caused it [10:35] clu3, If you can at least login to the console, then at least you're getting somewhere. When you're booting, have you tried to just hit enter and read some of the parameters that you can pass the kernel prior to booting into the system to see if that might help you get some type of graphical interface? [10:37] YankDownUnder, when i switch to terminal (ctrl + alt + F1) i'm presented with ubuntu@ubuntu. It doesn't ask me to login. If booting without the live CD, i haven't tried what you said yet.. [10:37] clu3, Give it a go. There are several params that can be passed to the kernel to possibly get you to a graphical desktop mate. === root is now known as Guest9721 [10:38] YankDownUnder, you mean when booting without the CD, right? [10:38] Apologies to whom I offended on previous post it was not meant to be [10:38] Guest9721, Mate, it's truly NOT a good idea to login to IRC as root mate. Truly. Very bad, and very bad taste. [10:38] hi there :) [10:38] clu3, When booting WITH the CD - so you can troubleshoot the issue. [10:39] i see, thanks YankDownUnder [10:39] d [10:40] yankdownunder i cant [10:40] adub, Eh? [10:40] hi all [10:40] my screeen is just full of blocky pixels and i cant ctrl alt f1 or backspace to get a prompt i dont think if i use any boot disk that dmesg will net me anything [10:41] ya my video is jacked [10:41] i seen on a forum where others where reporting the same problem but some could disable onboard video people that have my graphics card [10:41] Guest9721, Please, do NOT login to IRC as the root user. It's extremely dangerous, and it's extremely bad form. [10:41] YankDownUnder, in deed, i think it's the CD problem, I just cleaned it ( a little more) and now i'm in the live CD :) [10:41] i have no onboard video [10:41] GUI interface i mean [10:41] i need a life without adobe. [10:41] adub, Have you tried disabling the onboard graphics card in your BIOS? [10:42] i do not have onboard graphics [10:42] clu3, Coolbeans mate. [10:42] adub, What do ya got? [10:42] geforce gt 240 works fine with 10.04 [10:42] adub, video card issue try anoter system if available and repeat your process on that machine [10:42] but even tried just updating [10:42] speedy_ so your saying just dont use 10.10 [10:43] adub, What is the graphics driver you're using? [10:43] adub have access to anoher video card [10:43] speedy_ no i do not [10:43] I have the visual effects enabled in ubuntu but I can't figure out where the settings are! Like keyboardshortcuts for changing wobbly windows style etc. [10:43] so 10.10 has a lot of issues with gt 240 for some reason [10:43] speedy_ i know you know your stuff i see you in here often bro [10:44] adub, If you're using an NVidia card, you might want to try running "sudo jockey-gtk" - let the system try to determine the best driver for your card - let it do it's thing, reboot after it's done - see what you get... [10:44] no i ran just the live DVD of natty and its works live fine and the previous versions as well I use now Ultimate Edtion [10:44] yankdownunder here is the thing i can not get a prompt man to troubleshoot [10:44] Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is my box [10:44] YankDownUnder, heh, but i'm not sure what do do next :) . I can see the harddisk but can't mount it [10:44] adub, So you can't even get to a console login? [10:45] no [10:45] no console nothing just a bunch of pixels [10:45] lucid lynx: Where are the compiz/fusion settings? [10:45] clu3, PLACES => Whatever drive ? [10:45] and it is as if the system is locked up [10:45] speedy_ you have a gt 240 ? [10:45] adub, Have you looked through the forums on how to boot to a liveCD and then chroot to the local disk? [10:46] the 10.10 will not boot to a live disk the same thing happens big pixels then locks up [10:46] YankDownUnder, yep, it doesn't response. When i try again. "Dbus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolueMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending" [10:46] adub is the pixels all over or half the screen no prompt? try typing in blind if u know there is a console there [10:47] clu3, Sounds to me like the disk might be dirtier than you think - or the drive itself needs a bit of a cleaning.... [10:47] what do you recommend i type [10:47] Hi, I'm trying to build a shared object from a static lib. I use g++ -static option, when I get this error: http://codepad.org/cQRg9w87 [10:47] just pass [10:47] adub nope [10:47] ArunC: take it to #programming [10:48] where can I find the compiz/fusion settings in lucid? [10:48] juk: Thanks [10:48] adub, Not sure mate...if I had time to look through the forums for both Ubuntu and Debian, I'd do so...but working... [10:48] I want create a folder in case that does not exist yet, i looking in google and i found that line, but does not work to me. if [[ ! -e $APACHE_BACKUP ]]; then [10:48] told me "[[: not found [10:48] " [10:48] hi all [10:48] of course i close the loop fi [10:49] hey on of my external hard drives isnt showing up on my desktop after it is mounted, it used to show up but now it doesnt, any help? [10:49] YankDownUnder, i can still open other applications like openoffice or play some games there, only they run quite slow [10:50] clu3, Yes, they'll run slow - if the graphics driver - amongst other things - isn't the right driver, then yeah, everything is going to crawl... [10:50] exit [10:50] exit [10:51] YankDownUnder, yes, I had problem with the drivers on this new Toshiba lap model when i installed Ubuntu a few months ago. Had to add extra repo. [10:51] just oging to go back to 10.04 and troubleshoot the other hardware issues im having like no sound for whatever stupid reason [10:51] clu3, Hmmm...well, that tells all, doesn't it? :) [10:51] YankDownUnder, somebody suggest to run "e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda2" on ubuntuforms. should i try [10:51] adub, Sometimes, when you're having issues with ONE driver, other bits just ain't going to work, either. [10:52] clu3, Won't hurt. [10:52] I have some important data not yet backed up [10:53] he [10:53] i have an external hard drive connected and it recognized and accessible but it is not showing up on my desktop, any ideas how to fix that? [10:55] Ok so. [10:55] I have a fakeraid array & ubuntu server installed. [10:55] I need to mount an NTFS partition on the array [10:55] Will I break everything? [10:55] Because I cannot afford to lose the data and I cannot back it up. :) [10:57] Ve2, why can't you back it up? [10:57] It's 2TB [10:57] I don't have a 2TB disk to back up to. [10:57] when I run e2fsck from my live CD terminal, i got this error: "Dvice or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda. Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?" [10:57] Seems to have mounted ok [10:57] what can i do? [10:57] question: What or were is the Splash Screen on boot located in system can it be changed? u know like the animated splash on boot or just as desktops loads. Like othere Linux Versions to name a couple Ultimate Edtion the nice liquid like loge for UE, and GnackTrackR4 has nice splash as well just like to add my own [10:57] Ve2, should be the first thing to do before doing anything else [10:57] Fingers crossed it doesn't erase all my data [10:58] clu3, sudo e2fsck => you have to be root user (or have the rights) to do that. [10:58] Well [10:58] I will be backing up all the data [10:58] Ve2, otherwise you "can afford" to loose everything :> [10:58] clu3: you don't want to fsck /dev/sda, use a partition like /dev/sdaX [10:58] Yeah I know. [10:58] YankDownUnder, i was already under sudo [10:58] I am getting a 2TB disk like, tomorrow [10:58] Ve2, then wait [10:58] but I want to format it ext4 & not use NTFS [10:58] So I need to mount it in ubuntu anyway [10:58] Hopefully everything will be cool. [10:59] Ve2, mount it read-only and there shouldn't be any problem [10:59] i have an external hard drive connected and it recognized and accessible but it is not showing up on my desktop, any ideas how to fix that? [10:59] llutz_, what are those sda1, sda2, sda5 I have? Which one should i try? [10:59] good iea. [10:59] clu3, Right...is the partition you're trying to fsck ext2? [10:59] it ext4 YankDownUnder [10:59] What is the flag for that again? [10:59] YankDownUnder, sorry, wait.. [10:59] clu3: /dev/sda is the drive, /dev/sda1.... are the partitions. you need to know which partition holds the filesystem you want to check [10:59] -o ro? [11:00] clu3, Then use ext4.fsck /dev/sdXX [11:00] Ve2, yeah... or just -r [11:00] ta [11:00] yep, it seems ext4 for sda1 when i use sudo gparted [11:00] Ve2, Must be a pom or an Aussie... [11:01] llutz_, i see, thanks , it must be sda1 then [11:01] What? [11:01] Ve2, Where ya live? [11:01] Au. [11:01] Ve2, Yeppers...s'what I thought... [11:01] #c0c0n2010 [11:01] austria? [11:02] rumpe1, Yeah, mate. Austria. Heaps of wombats in Austria. [11:02] I still get the same error as sda . "...busy while trying to open /dev/sda1" [11:02] hmm, there's a conflict on banshee.fm. the front page says iPhones can be synced, the user manual says banshee supports most smartphones with the notable exception of iPhone, iPad etc. [11:03] clu3, Then something is trying to read the partition already - didn't you say just a bit earlier that you were in the midst of trying to mount the drive? [11:06] sweeeet [11:06] lol [11:06] libschrodinger? [11:07] Quantum physics lib? [11:07] Ve2, it's used for lolcats :> [11:07] Ve2, Not to mention: /usr/lib/libschrodingerscat [11:07] oh dear [11:08] WHAT IS THIS DOING [11:08] Ok [11:08] libschroedinger is for the dirac video codec [11:08] Ve2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:08] I am used to rhel, et c. [11:08] How do I configure static ips in ubu server? [11:08] Ve2, dhcpd-config? [11:09] ? [11:09] Ve2, /etc/network/interfaces [11:09] Yeah [11:09] what is with the wierd config file? [11:09] Ve2, nevermind... didn't understand what you meant exactly [11:10] Um...weird? I rather like a simple config like the /etc/network/interfaces - easy for at least me to understand... [11:10] I am used to the ifcfg files [11:10] it is literally that you are used to them though, they both do the same thing [11:10] :/ [11:10] This one looks totally different [11:11] I will be honest, the fact it doesn't come with a bunch of examples in it commented out is a little irritating [11:11] I rather like just editing the one, restarting the network, and VOILA! S'all good and up and running happy as Larry... [11:11] found some stuff on the net [11:11] but google should fix that [11:11] Google fixes everything...except for breakfast. [11:12] if you work for google, they even do that [11:12] sorry YankDownUnder my computer was hanging. yes, I tried to browse the partition earlier using the File Browser. Now i can see a mount process is still running [11:12] and i can't kill it, even with kill -9 [11:13] clu3, So since that is still running, you're not going to be able to run an fsck on that partition...unless you kill the process.... [11:13] guys, I'm trying to get slapd (ldap) to work on ubuntu 10.04 lts. I'm using a slapd.conf instead of slapd.d/ style and I keep getting invalid credentials when trying an ldap search (ldapsearch includes -D cn=Manager,dc=my,dc=domain -y /etc/ldap.secret -x ) [11:13] clu3, Ah...roger that... [11:13] YankDownUnder, i guess i have to restart this live CD ? [11:14] clu3, Sorry to say, but sounds like it mate. [11:14] lol [11:14] Accidentally set the server to have the same ip as the box I was logged into it as. [11:14] Guess how that went... [11:15] Ve2, If I get the right answer, you're buying me a slab of VB, right? :) [11:15] :/ [11:15] You would seriously drink VB? [11:15] :\ [11:15] You MUST be american. === taka is now known as Guest58331 [11:16] Ve2, Um...well, quite some years an expat...but yeah... [11:16] :/ [11:16] !enter | Ve2 [11:16] Ve2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [11:16] I'm not. :( [11:16] I'm trying to enlarge my Windows 7 partition from a live CD, but I can't expand it to the right. Here is a screenshot: http://i55.tinypic.com/2vbvkn8.png [11:17] Ve2, However, if someone was to purchase some great dark beers from up in Sydney, well, then I'd have to take that instead, eh? [11:17] ubuntu_: I'm going to give you a hint: There's no space to expand to [11:17] Yank: What's VB btw ? [11:18] concon: theres 34.69 GiB of unallocated space [11:18] to authenticate ldap server, i just install the libnss-ldap package. [11:18] jjp1789, Victoria Bitters (beer) [11:18] is it a common bug that often when ubuntu asks me to authenticate, for example when adding or removing software through the software center, the authentication dialog gets stuck after a succesful password entry (I have to click the X to get it to close) [11:18] is it enough to connect to the ldap server? [11:19] basically difference here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery and here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChrootRecovery is '-o bind' in last, what for that last? [11:19] ubuntu_: There's 34.69GB of unallocated space on a logical block [11:19] concon: I don't get what you mean [11:19] ethanol no, this is normal. [11:19] ethanol, if it get stuck, that is not normal. [11:19] ubuntu to authenticate ldap server, i just install the libnss-ldap package. [11:19] well normal would be that it closes automatically, which it does only like 1/4th of all cases [11:20] ubuntu: to authenticate ldap server, i just install the libnss-ldap package. [11:20] satya: na, you need ldap-auth-client or anything to eventually have libpam-ldap [11:20] I'm trying to enlarge my Windows 7 partition from a live CD, but I can't expand it to the right. Here is a screenshot: http://i55.tinypic.com/2vbvkn8.png [11:21] ubuntu_: You see that extended sda3, you need to shrink that one first, if possible [11:21] concon: It does not give me the option to resize when I right click on it [11:22] jjp1789: auth-client-confiog is in the libnss-ldap package only [11:22] Then you'll need to delete, that's the negative side of logical partitions [11:22] jjp1789: auth-client-config is in the libnss-ldap package only [11:22] concon: delete what? [11:22] If you delete it you'll delete sda5 as well [11:23] I'm trying to enlarge my Windows 7 partition from a live CD, but I can't expand it to the right. Here is a screenshot: http://i55.tinypic.com/2vbvkn8.png [11:23] jjp1789: it is already installed [11:23] hi [11:23] That extended partition, it's a logical block so you can make logical partitions, there's a limit to 4 primary partitions to 1 drive, so windows tend to make logical partitions if you have more than 1 [11:23] silverlightning: hi [11:23] how are you today [11:24] And stop re-posting your error [11:24] Read the guidelines [11:24] I have been stressed out of my mind [11:24] up half the night and fiddeling with the computer [11:24] satya: ok (apt-cache search --full ldap-auth-client |grep Depends) yields: libpam-ldap, libnss-ldap [11:25] in desperation I installed Ubuntu on the entire harddrive [11:25] do you know anything about issues with the cooling fan?

[11:30] YankDownUnder, i guess i'm dead. Can't fsck the partition, it's still busy while there's no mount process running [11:30] jjp1789: if i type sudo auth-client-config, it says profile is required [11:30] SimonPHOENIX: there are very many HOWTOs with examples on that, For example the original RAID HOWTO [11:31] how to add users using command line [11:31] Slapcake, you are using "sudo" for the commands ... yes? [11:31] Ubuntu-user: 'man useradd' [11:31] Ubuntu-user: adduser [11:31] what are the recommended driver packages for the latest verson of ubuntu? [11:31] coz_: yes [11:31] satya: look in /etc/auth-client-config and man auth-client-config [11:31] Slapcake, mm then I am not sure [11:32] silverlightning, which drivers? [11:32] silverlightning: the latest drivers? [11:32] coz_: the insufficient access error is an ldap error, not a uid error [11:32] Slapcake, oh! mm well... if no one here can answer you might also want to go to t he ##linux channel [11:32] slapcake: are you using simple bind ?

[11:34] walex: it works using livecd, but it wont boot otherwise [11:34] ruan, just now?

[11:34] i have two extenal hard drives connected one is showing up on my desktop and one isnt, both are working fine and accessible but the just isnt showing up on my desktop when it is mounted [11:34] ruan: there is a relevant HOWTO on the wiki too [11:35] walex i didnt get any option for recovery [11:35] ruan: "rescue" mode [11:35] walex: how? i cant boot ubuntu at all [11:35] shomon: Giving an ip,Static ip, internet sharing related stuff? [11:35] ruan, if it is very recently, the computer might have a few hickups before it gets used to ubuntu, like loud beeps and reluctant booting [11:35] ubuntu-user: good question; I personaly stop network-manager and kill dhcp client before using ifconfig, route and editing resolv.conf [11:36] Hi. Can I somehow checked which files have changed in the last hour or so? [11:36] silverlightning: it hasnt made a first boot yet [11:36] ah okay Ubuntu-user - ifconfig is the command you want [11:36] ruan: you have to boot the liveCD and go into rescue mode. I'll do a search fro you on a link [11:36] walex: i can only "try" ubuntu and install it [11:36] walex: no other options [11:36] and to restart or change this, all the services that start by default are in /etc/init.d/ [11:37] Right. [11:37] So. [11:37] including one called network or networking I think [11:37] From my liveCD, when i fsck my parition, it keeps saying: "Device or resouce busy while trying to open /dev/sda1", what can i do ?

[11:40] ruan: then that allows you to reinstall GRUB [11:40] anyone recommended empathy rather than pidgin? [11:41] offsense1: not really, I got rid of empathy [11:41] ruan: if the automatic rescue/recovery don't work, this is another and even more detailed approach: http://www.ubuntudoctor.com/content/blog/10/Boot-Install-Ubuntu-from-the-Grub-Rescue-Prompt [11:41] how to list & kill process in ubuntu?

[11:41] Ubuntu-user: ps command lists, kill and killall kills [11:42] offsense1: yes [11:42] thanks [11:42] Ubuntu-user: also you can start a background process by running it followed by a & [11:42] difference between kill and killall? [11:42] hallo guys... [11:42] Ubuntu-user: actually, IIRC kill politely asks a process to be killed, use kill -9 to force [11:42] kill needs a process number [11:42] Ubuntu-user: man kill and man killall tells it [11:42] but killall needs a name [11:42] walex: btw, im on livecd try mode at the moment [11:43] oh thanks its pid and name thingy [11:43] shomon: "teach a man how to fish, he eats on his own. give a man a fish, he expects more." [11:43] thanks guys u are doing great job here [11:43] cheers [11:43] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099 [11:43] be careful with signals as well. kill -9 vs -1 or -15 a whole kettle of fish... [11:43] oops [11:43] ok sure thanks gnea [11:43] copy paste didnt work [11:43] ruan: also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#Recovery%20Using%20the%20Ubuntu%20Desktop/Live%20CD%20%28RECOMMENDED%29 [11:44] /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?). [11:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB [11:45] the last link above advises going through a "fake" install, where you don't actually install, but the installer recreates the GRUB startup [11:45] this is complicated :/ [11:46] ruan: it is indeed not that simple. [11:46] hi [11:46] how can i close mysql service at startup ubuntu [11:46] ruan: the issue is that most people just install one partition and one time GRUB and "it just works" and so nobody cares very much about the non-standard cases. Just like in MS-Windows. [11:47] walex: i tried installing it 3 times, once on a new partition, it never worked [11:47] risperdalx: you have to edit the relevant entry in '/etc/init/' or use 'update-rc.d' to edit the startup links [11:47] Anyone else experienced this? Starting today all of the Ubuntu computers in my house are unable to browse any websites or send/receive email using firefox and thunderbird. Other web browsers work perfectly, but I have the same problem with email in Evolution. [11:48] ruan: that is very unusual, installation usually "just works", unless you have an odd disk layout. [11:48] walex: i've only got 2 hard drives [11:48] Walex, should i use update-rc.d mysql remove or disable ? [11:49] ruan: however I am an *extremely* experienced sysadm/programmer and at one point I could not boot Ubuntu LTS 10 after installing it and could not fix it, because the boot process has become too complicated and it was difficult even for me to figure out what had broken [11:49] risperdalx: 'disable', because 'remove' has the problem listed in the 'man' page. [11:50] can i setup ftp server in ubuntu? [11:50] ubuntulog: very easily, use something like VsFTPd or ProFTPd [11:51] I use the filezilla ftp server. I either swear by it or swear at it. [11:51] i am loving it ubuntu is super [11:51] Walex: i got an error [11:51] update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/mysql missing LSB information [11:51] update-rc.d: see [11:51] System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/mysql do not exist. [11:51] risperdalx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:51] risperdalx: That's not an error, that's a warning. [11:52] uhm i think it must be disabled now [11:52] thanks [11:52] smegzor: what should i do... filezilla ? [11:53] risperdalx: but note that " System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/mysql do not exist" is perplexing [11:53] Ubuntu-user: It works and isn't hard to set up. [11:53] hey guys, i installed nvidia drivers from the nvidia site with the .run installator. my x now fails to start because the driver and the kernel module mismatch in version numbers. GCC problem for not compiling module or something? regardless, how can i rollback or choose to use another driver instead so i can get to the desktop again [11:53] smegzor: how to configure ? [11:53] risperdalx: because if there are no *start* links, why do you worry about it being started? [11:53] procedure [11:53] im not going to try to install ubuntu till im 100% sure that its going to work [11:53] Ubuntu-user- why not ssh server? [11:53] walex: i know its runing at startup [11:53] viliny: just run X reconfiguration [11:54] walex: because this ubuntu opening time is slowing [11:54] In mutt, which key is to tag a message as unread ? the flag N ? [11:54] Walex: i think i did, but to no help... whats the command for that? [11:54] ubuntu gave me real trouble with SDM for cisco router it never worked :( [11:54] Ubuntu-user: It has a GUI and there should be plenty of guides on the internet. Follow one of those. [11:55] viliny: also you can uninstall the nVidia package by rerunning the installer with the uninstallation option. You have to do that to clean up things. [11:55] Walex: Roger that [11:56] viliny: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/ [11:56] thank you :) [11:56] im not gonna fix it if its broken from the start [11:57] ruan: whats up? [11:57] ruan: I wasn't sure about Ubuntu, so I installed it and installed XP inside VirtualBox for anything that I couldn't do in Ubuntu (mainly work stuff). [11:57] viliny: ubuntu wont boot after install [11:57] ruan: any troubleshooting or possible causes visible? [11:57] hi how can i install ubuntu ov [11:57] er another ubuntu without deleting my files? [11:57] viliny: nope, it just does nothing at boot [11:58] rek, have a seperate hom [11:58] rek: download cd-image from ubuntu site, burn it to a disk, boot your computer from that disk and then just choose to install ubuntu once you are on the livecd desktop [11:58] !home | rek [11:58] rek: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [11:58] lol, sorry... [11:59] ruan: the last times I had a non-booting new ubuntu install I had an IDE drive somehow preventing it booting off the sata I had installed it to. The other time I had installed grub to the wrong drive. [11:59] wbazhang i'm on irssi for win damn can't copy the link or i dunno how to copy it [11:59] ruan: do you get the grub menu? [11:59] viliny: nope, no menu at all === Putr is now known as Putr|Away [11:59] during the installation i create another home? [12:00] how about using the supergrub disk to repair boot? [12:00] viliny: why would boot be broken from install 3 times? [12:00] i don't have a good answer to that im afraid [12:01] rek, not sure about how to copy via irssi as I'm on xchat, you could check the logs later, or just remember the psychocats website name [12:01] i guess i'll have to install windows now [12:01] have you tried switching your boot hardrive from bios? i mean, if you don't even get the grub menu it seems like ubuntu has little to do with it [12:01] is there any image viewer for the terminal..uhm..or well maybe I'm just dumb .... [12:01] is it me, or is it no longer possible to hide the mounted drives from the desktop? [12:01] viliny: my boot hard drive is the hard drive ubuntu is installed on [12:02] i've tried using gconf-editor [12:02] ruan: well, im not sure i can be of much more help... id give the third party grub rescue thing a try if i were in your shoes but other than that... out of ideas atm [12:02] viliny: i've tried 2 different partitions too [12:03] hello [12:05] anyone have any tips on how to hide the desktop drive icons? [12:07] ruan: what device did you select as you mbr for grub when you installed? [12:07] sacarlson: my main hard drive [12:08] when I log in using my user account, does anyone know where the environment is loaded. I looked in ~/bashrc, couldn't find an ~/xinitrc. [12:08] ruan: what device might that be /dev/sdb? [12:08] anyone, ho i make bash_profile like gnacktrack? [12:08] sacarlson: possibly [12:08] how i make [12:08] ruan: well then there is a posibility it's wrong, your bios may be set to boot from /dev/sda [12:09] my cardreader doesn't work anymore after upgrade to 10.10 [12:09] sacarlson: how would i set it otherwise? [12:09] if i plugin the reader the led only blink shortly two times... no messages in /var/log/messages [12:09] and idea whats wrong? [12:09] ruan: did you try anything to install a new mbr with something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/562593/ [12:09] mmm i have a wierd situacion, if i execute a shell script as sudo script.sh should execute every command that i have inside as root right? [12:09] is not happening with a CP that i'm mading [12:09] So... I ran a bunch of crap in wine as gksudo, and now my root folder has a bunch of crap for wine, can I safely delete all of it? [12:09] if i execute this line in the command line as sudo works [12:09] but in the script nope [12:10] by default my user is ubuntu but i run the script as sudo [12:10] ruan: in most cases bios is set to boot /dev/sda but with usb flash installs it sometimes becomes /dev/sdb so worst case maybe try install to both [12:10] sacarlson: im using a livecd [12:11] hilarie: delete the /root/.wine folder [12:11] Anybody knows openoffice calc well? [12:11] it'll get rid of everything you installed or did as root in wine though [12:11] ruan: as you can see from the pastebin it's made to use a livecd boot to recover mbr [12:11] @tensorpudding k ty [12:11] LiquidDemocracy, try #openoffice.org [12:12] pop quiz, creating samba shares that have spaces in the path? [12:12] quotes doesn't seem to be working for me. [12:12] bazhang, thx [12:13] sacarlson: how would i remember all of that? [12:13] hilarie: the wine icons may still stay in the menus. those are under some other directory i recall. [12:13] Ve2: dunno, try backslash\ space... [12:13] Ve2: ive fond out the hard way its best to NOT have spaces in shaer names [12:13] ta [12:13] I can't not have them [12:13] Ve2: how are you acessing the share, via fstab? nautilus? indows? [12:14] It's a read only ntfs volume. [12:14] my cardreader doesn't work anymore after upgrade to 10.10 [12:14] if i plugin the reader the led only blink shortly two times... no messages in /var/log/messages [12:14] ruan: you shouldn't have to remember just follow it, maybe print it if needed [12:14] Ve2: so whats the fact its a NTFS volume matter? [12:14] It's read only [12:14] I can't take the space out of the file name. [12:14] then remove the read only attribute? [12:15] :/ [12:15] Ve2: you asked how to create a share.. You can make shares that are not the same name as a directory you are shareing is named.. [12:15] I just want to specify a path with a space in it. [12:15] 你们好 [12:15] Ve2: specifiy it where exactly? we need a bit more details. [12:15] Ve2: escape it [12:16] in smb.conf [12:16] <^Phantom^> Okay [12:16] <^Phantom^> sometimes FF crashes on large images [12:16] <^Phantom^> sometimes it doesn't [12:16] Ve2: so you are defining a share in smb.conf and the 'actual path' has a space in the name.. you are saying... [12:16] !cn | xn1015 [12:16] xn1015: 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 [12:16] my cardreader doesn't work anymore after upgrade to 10.10 [12:16] if i plugin the reader the led only blink shortly two times... no messages in /var/log/messages [12:17] Ve2: the share defined does not have to have a space in the actual 'share name' is what we are saying. it dosent have to be the same name as the '/path/to/share directory' [12:17] hello everyone [12:17] i have a problem with my printer canon i250 and ubuntu 10.4 [12:18] Willis I am not entirely sure what you are talking about, it doesn't seem relevant to my query however. [12:18] Nikkos, what does linuxprinting.org say about that printer [12:18] ill check [12:19] hm i cant find anything about my printer :/ [12:20] wait [12:20] no i cant find i250 [12:21] Ve2: You are confusing in yoru wuestion as to the 'share name' and 'defining' the share in smb.conf there are 2 (at least) samba books in the repos with examples of the smb.conf file with examples. You may want to check them out. [12:21] !info samba-doc [12:21] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.2 (maverick), package size 1700 kB, installed size 7740 kB [12:21] So in smb.conf, under the "path" option, supposeing the path of the directory I want to map is /media/store/my documents [12:21] How would I map this path? [12:21] Quotes/escaping does not appear to work. [12:21] ubuntu recognizes it, i installed it selecting the i250 drivers from ubuntu list... but i can't print [12:22] it gives an eror [12:22] error* [12:23] Hi. Is there any possible way to remove DISK not bookmarks, DISK entries from Places menu? They are duplicates made by disk-manager, which I do not need any more. [12:23] Ve2: make a symlink without the space, then path to the link [12:24] Is that the only way? [12:24] someone can help me? [12:24] Ve2: using spaces in stuff maks life complicated. I suggest you avoid them [12:24] Ve2: a quick gootle hit.. says use quotes,.,, [12:24] path = "/media/disk1/My Documents/My Videos" [12:24] Hello, my ubuntu (10.10) seems to be running really slowly on my system, i can only run about two programs at once and it still manages to crash now this could be because i have a pretty poor pc but the previous version of ubuntu used to run so much faster! is there anything you can suggest i do? [12:24] Yeah after I migrate off this raid array I will be reshuffling things [12:24] can't right now though [12:24] Ve2: the 'share name' in my example . would be best to be set to 'My_Videos" [12:24] Welshy-Rob: test your RAM [12:24] Willis: as I mentioned before, quotes are not working for me. [12:25] Ve2: they should be. double check other shares.. [12:25] what are some command to test sound [12:25] cant install windows from wine :/ [12:25] uh oh [12:25] ... [12:25] also check the 'case' of the path Ve2 [12:25] adub_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting has ways to test sound [12:25] Hi, I hope this doesn't intrude on your daily support cycle. But what FOSS is available from your software center than can be used to visually model explosions and map out compact explosive designs? It is a scholarly curiosity, I promise. [12:25] Ve2: and the ownership/other permissions.. shareing ntfs. i have found tricky in the past. [12:26] bazhang can ou help me? [12:26] 1;2c1;2c/leave [12:26] ruan: thats because its for installing apps, not windows itself. If you want Windows then use vmware or virtualbox [12:26] actionparsnip: i need to get an OS that works [12:26] ActionParsnip, how? [12:26] ok j/k. [12:27] !mods [12:27] !ban me [12:27] Welshy-Rob: when the system starts to boot (just after POST), hold shift and you can run memtest+ from there [12:27] ruan: ubuntu works.... [12:27] i would rather install ubuntu but it wont work for me [12:28] ikonia, odd person there... [12:28] it wont boot [12:28] is there a specific help channel for Ubuntu, or is this it? (I'd hit "/list Ubuntu" but that doen't seem to work in Xchat) [12:28] ActionParsnip, what am i looking for when i do that? [12:29] Alex you have come to the right place [12:29] alexrodiguez: this is it [12:29] alexrodriguez: topic says 'official ubuntu support channel' :) [12:29] Welshy-Rob: if the screen stays blue like this: http://www.playtool.com/pages/memtest/memtest86.jpg it's ok. If it goes like this: http://billy-oneal.com/forums/memTest/memtestFail.png it's bad [12:30] hello. When is /etc/timezone read/used? [12:30] is it on boot? [12:31] Ve2: i just made a share with a space in its name and the auto-genrated conf used --> path=/home/willis/Desktop/test share [12:31] ActionParsnip, cheers [12:32] Well, installed Maverick on my Acer Aspire (AOA150), microphone doen't work. I've spent the last two days trying everything googling Ubuntu support forums can tell me - I've updated all the lsa, gnome-alsa, pulse audio, I've reset between internal andMic a dozen times, I've slid the input volume bars to all extremes, etc [12:32] kjelle: I would think thats a yes. theres a set/check time/date service that checks it.. other apps could check it later i imagine. [12:32] Welshy-Rob: if the ram is ok we can explore other avenues [12:32] ruan: so the reload of mbr failed? [12:32] sacarlson: i havent installed ubuntu yet [12:32] hi [12:32] sacarlson: well i uninstalled the 3 others i had [12:33] happy every [12:33] ruan: oh well it won't boot if you don't install it other than from a livecd [12:33] alexrodriguez: what is the generated url when you upload to the server when you run this command: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh [12:33] sacarlson: all 3 were from a livecd [12:33] ruan: what did you do to uninstall ubuntu? [12:33] Does anyone use mind mapping software here? If so, for what and is it useful? [12:34] sacarlson: i wiped the hard drive, since ubuntu did that already [12:34] AegisX: probably a better question for #ubuntu-offtopic [12:34] ruan: what program did you use to wipe it? [12:35] sacarlson: gparted [12:35] italiani??? [12:35] ruan: well now that you leaned the uses of gparted maybe your ready to move on to install === Guest60326 is now known as Cain [12:36] sacarlson: i've tried installing it 3 times [12:36] !it | sopra [12:36] sopra: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [12:36] Thanks, LjL [12:36] Dr_Willis: do you think it is checked later? [12:37] ruan: did you pick the same place to put the mbr each time? did you try hit +f2 if it ended with a black screen? [12:37] ActionParsnip - unable to resolve host address 'alsa-project.org' [12:37] Dr_Willis: I have an application running on an embedded system using a debian etch, and im using settimeofday from some interface [12:37] kjelle: after the initial services boot.. i doubt it. unless theres a cron job. [12:37] sacarlson: didnt end with a black screen [12:37] Dr_Willis: I just dont want any linux cron-cycle to overwrite my time/tz [12:37] alexrodriguez: does the system have web access/ [12:37] Dr_Willis: okey, I guess it's not (it's a minietch system) [12:37] Dr_Willis: ty [12:37] kjelle: ubuntu and debian dont use the same startup system last i checked... [12:37] ruan: then I would try another mbr location [12:37] Dr_Willis: ouch, okey, I will just test it then =) [12:37] actionparsnip yes [12:37] kjelle: ubuntu uses upstart.. debian.. sysv proberly. [12:37] sacarlson: like where? [12:38] Dr_Willis: okey. thank you for your help. [12:38] ruan: well you said you only have 2 disks so only two to chose [12:38] alexrodriguez: ok try this: http://pastie.org/1574367 [12:38] sacarlson: my other one is a 40 gb hard drive, i'd prefer not to use it [12:38] alexrodriguez: it's a dead handy script for sound issues. If you run it, you can select to not upload ad it will make a file in /tmp which you can then manually pastebin [12:38] ruan: /dev/sda and /dev/sdb I would assume but with all that activity on gparted you should know better that I [12:39] actionparsnip can I PM to avoid flood? [12:39] sacarlson: how do i wipe the MBR? [12:39] alexrodriguez: use pastebin.com and you won't flood [12:40] ruan: each time you install grub it wipes or replaces the mbr [12:40] sacarlson: ok [12:40] actionparsnip http://pastebin.com/jubzMq0S [12:41] ^the second time I ran wget [12:41] Hi. Is there any possible way to remove DISK not bookmarks, DISK entries from Places menu? [12:41] ruan: since you already played with gparted just make sure you have an empty space with no file system before installing ubuntu so it can guess where to install itself [12:42] sacarlson: the drive is completely clear with 1 partition === q_a_z_steve is now known as zz_q_a_z_steve [12:42] ruan: that sounds like a good place to start [12:42] sacarlson: and i hope it works :/ === paissad_ is now known as paissad [12:43] ruan: if all else fails try the alternate install cd [12:43] sacarlson: alternate install cd? [12:44] ruan: the one used for server install in most cases yes, it's a text based install without graphics, it installs to systems with less memory [12:44] mak__: not that ive ever seen. [12:44] sacarlson: i only have 1 cd, the livecd [12:45] ruan: there are other iso image file to try that can be downloaded. [12:45] sacarlson: havent got any spare cds for that [12:45] Dr_Willis, is that for real? I mean I how have a list of 9 disks, which are duplicates [12:46] sacarlson: and my pc wont boot from a usb [12:46] ruan: do you have a usb flash drive around? [12:46] alexrodriguez: ok, press ENTER on the dislogue screen then select to save locally [12:46] sacarlson: with all of the programs i tried to make an ubuntu usb with 2 different ones, they failed [12:46] alexrodriguez: then copy the location of the file when the page changes, open it in gedit, copy the text then pastebin the text [12:46] ruan: well there is also something called plop that will can make a system that won't support usb boot to boot with them [12:47] sacarlson: it does support usb boot, its mentioned in removable list [12:47] sacarlson: but it fails at doing so [12:47] actionparsnip - I end with "Your ALSA information is in /tmp/alsa-info.txt.TYsnFTwkKV", I'm afraid I'm still newb - what do you mean to choose to save locally? [12:47] well the install is finished [12:48] actionparsnip - I should sudo gedit /tmp/alsa-info.txt.TYsnFTwkKV ? [12:48] ruan: well also make sure the files you download are not corupted by checking with md5sum and see if the usb flash will boot another computer system [12:48] sacarlson: i've checked the md5sum already [12:48] alexrodriguez: no need for sudo, and sudo is NOT to be used with gedit [12:48] sacarlson: it also failed to install windows from usb [12:48] ruan: did you try the usb flash on another system? [12:48] alexrodriguez: use gksudo for GUI apps like gedit and such [12:49] sacarlson: no, havent got one to use [12:49] ruan: well that's all I can tell you [12:49] alexrodriguez: you can run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /tmp/alsa-info.txt.TYsnFTwkKV and give the link in here [12:49] im going to reboot.. if im not back in 10 minutes, the install failed again [12:49] actionparsnip - http://pastebin.com/HwVxijML [12:50] and i'll be back redownloading xchat and everything for the fourth time.. [12:50] alexrodriguez: cool, lots of useful info there :) [12:50] actionparsnip - all Greek to me [12:51] alexrodriguez: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf add this to the bottom then reboot: options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire does it work ok? [12:52] mak__: sounds like somthings goofed up if they are identical. Ive seen Dupe items in some menus befor. try a reboot see if it corects itself. [12:52] actionparsnip - terminal seems to be frozen, when I try to close it warns it still has a process ongoing...can I force-close without danger, and reopen it to run that? [12:52] mak__: or check the forum,s there may be some file that needs refreshed/removed. [12:52] Dr_Willis, did not work. This chat is my last resort.

Because when you created the folder you included the creation time in the date? [13:33] coz_ yes the livecd works [13:33] osmosis_paul: so you have to parse the name of the folder? Because when you created the folder you included the creation time in the name? [13:33] ruan, and did you check the cd for errors? [13:33] ruan, and also did you run a memory check [13:33] coz_: yes to both [13:34] jrib, exactly [13:34] Hi All! :) so I am very new to 'the computer world' and will ask a lot of questions (especially if I don't understand something) and today i have a lot of questions... 1) i was trying to get rid of Ubuntu completely and get Windows 7 back, i got recovery media disks from gateway i put the CD's in and booted from the disk, after completely wiping my hard drive and re-installing windows 7 and all the drivers i got a black screen (looked like DOS prompt) [13:34] ruan, mmm and you installed to the main hard drive [13:34] coz_: yes [13:34] 2011-02-17/ and inside i have the logs of that day [13:34] coz_: first priority on boot [13:34] i want remove the folders 5 days older [13:34] ruan, was there another system on that same hard drive previously? [13:34] coz_: yes but it was formatted [13:35] i am having issues with my sound on my computer i would prefer hd sound but any sound would do i guess [13:35] adub_: do you have the latest sound drivers? [13:35] ruan, this is ubuntu 10.10 ,, yes? [13:35] osmosis_paul: well, loop over every directory, extract the date, compare the date to current one (maybe ask #bash how best to do this part or don't use bash...), then delete if older than whatever. Or maybe an easier way, at the beginning compute what you want to keep (i.e. the last 5 dates) and then delete the folders that don't equal any of those [13:36] coz_: yes 10.10 [13:36] ruan well even yesterday before formatting i had installed the lastest alsa [13:36] i think there is just a lot going on with sound [13:36] ruan, just to carify,,, when the live cd boots ,,, when you see the keyboard icon at the bottom you hit enter,,, and then when the menu appears you ran both memory check and check cd ,,,yes? [13:37] i have a tv tuner card that uses pulse audio then i have onboard sound then i have sound on my video card that uses hdmi [13:37] coz_: yes [13:37] jrib, yes the idea i have on mind, i was asking something more in low level of shell, how get the name of a folder and cast to number for example [13:37] ruan, was windows on this prior to ubuntu? [13:37] coz_: yes it was on before ubuntu, but ubuntu wiped the partition [13:37] actionparsnip - was there something new to try in alsa-base.conf now that it's open? (sorry, not trying to be a nag) [13:37] ruan, do you have a windows install cd? [13:37] osmosis_paul: you don't want to do that, it's a date in MM-DD-YYYY format, not a number [13:37] Is there anyone using Ubuntu with the graphic card Ati Mobility Radeon Hd 3650 ? [13:37] coz_: yes i do [13:38] coz_: windows xp [13:38] !anyone | tull [13:38] tull: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [13:38] jrib, yes but then how you can compare with the system time? [13:39] osmosis_paul: you can use date to convert your date into a unix timestamp, but ask #bash if there is a better way [13:39] ruan, off hand I cannot think of what this could be , [13:39] someone please type: id , as a regular user, I need to know the default groups pls ;) [13:39] i want cast to milliseconds do you know what i mean? [13:39] coz_: everyone said that :S [13:39] i want to know if the card mobility radeon hd 3650 with ubuntu uses correctly the fan [13:39] ruan, I would try to in stall xp again and see if it boots just to be sure the hard drive itself is not broken [13:39] osmosis_paul, milliseconds? [13:39] ruan, thats a bit extreme but ... [13:39] coz_: it booted before i booted off the livecd [13:39] coz_, wouldnt SMART be of any use? [13:39] bazhang, yes why not? [13:39] how can i find out the X windows information about an window, so i can use that information for devilspie?

[13:48] yeah,i am running it from the terminal [13:48] existx, hit alt+F2 type firefox [13:48] hello! wanted to ask: How well does unity work without hardware acceleration at all (ie: VNC to a KVM vm) in 11.4?

[13:52] how to create apt-get update server ? [13:52] built [13:52] yann2: so you clearly DON'T know [13:53] ruan, give me a quick run down of hardware [13:53] coz_: it was originally ready made, but over the years i replaced everything [13:53] dubey: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror [13:53] I guess I missed the second part of the line :) [13:53] cheers [13:53] yann2: try reading, it helps [13:53] could sombody help me with imagemagick's error log?

Did you use apt? [13:55] ruan, let me think this through ,, hold on [13:55] coz_: ok [13:55] no sudo make install [13:55] can someone point me to ubuntu PAM documentation? [13:55] nagel182: undo that; always use synaptic === Leman_Russ_ is now known as Leman_Russ [13:55] * ruan installs the mp3 drivers for the 2nd time in the meantime.. [13:55] how do i undo it? [13:56] i meant codecs [13:56] nagel182: read its documentation I guess. Sometimes there's a "make uninstall" rule [13:56] ActionParsnip: Can my local network user use this host as their update server ? [13:56] dubey: sure if you add the server to the system(s) [13:56] koolhead11: apt-cache search -n pam doc [13:56] how can I find out the current regioncode of my dvdplayer? [13:57] koolhead11: there's usually also useful info in /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE for relevant PACKAGEs [13:57] jrib: there isnt. [13:58] my problem is that grub boot loader isnt showing at all, and pc stands still where it would normally go to boot === Putr|Away is now known as Putr [13:58] nagel182: then you must delete it yourself. Make sure you check its documentation [13:58] !away > Putr [13:58] Putr, please see my private message [13:58] this "loading DMI pool data" screen [13:58] ruan: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html [13:58] ruan: ahhhhh thats different === oden_ is now known as Guest6067 [13:58] i dont get a blank screen === Guest60326 is now known as Cain [13:59] but why should i delete it, jrib? [13:59] nagel182: because you should use the version in apt [13:59] ruan: shutdown the PC and unplug the power for at least 30 mins, then plug it back in and it should be ok [13:59] si puo conoscere la temperatura di una scheda ati con i driver radeon?

[13:59] nagel182: no [14:00] ruan: it will sort the DMI pool data issue..... [14:00] actuionparsnip: its not an issue, it always goes there [14:00] fail [14:00] jrib, thanks. let me check it. i need to know how to enable pam_mkhomedir [14:01] ruan: I see, then the boot option in the link I gave will sort it for you [14:01] jrib, i think sudo make uninstall worked [14:01] nagel182: ok [14:01] ActionParsnip: are you sure? [14:01] jrib, so how can i get imagemagick from apt? [14:02] ruan: yes, some video cards cause black screens at boot, the boot option mentioned is one known to resolve it in most cases [14:02] nagel182: you can use synaptic if you like synaptic [14:02] ActionParsnip: i dont get black screen [14:02] nagel182: sudo apt-get Install imagemagick [14:03] ActionParsnip: i get a loading DMI pool data screen which tells me CPU fan rpm, temp, voltage, etc, and it normally goes to boot from that screen [14:03] ActionParsnip: but it does nothing at the screen [14:03] it is possible change the date of creation of a file to make a test?\ [14:03] ruan: ok then press ESC when the boot splash shows and you can see the boot messages [14:03] osmosis_paul: files don't have creation date stored anywhere [14:04] ok what is the date that is close of the name of the every file when you do ls [14:04] i mean that date [14:04] i want test this [14:04] find /mnt/ebs_volume/mysql_backup/ -type f -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \; [14:05] ruan, I am getting nothing [14:05] coz_ i know my pc can run ubuntu because im on try mode of the liveCD right now [14:05] osmosis_paul: modification time [14:05] can apache2 be configured to not save the full IP to the logfiles, but just the 2 or three first (or last) octets? mod_removeip is a bit too much for me [14:05] but i want to restart my pc at times [14:05] ruan, right which makes this more puzzling [14:05] jrib, yes [14:06] osmosis_paul: yes, modification time is not necessarily the time a file was created [14:06] ruan, as stupid as this may sound, similar to "did you delete all of your cookies" make sure all cables and wires are securly connected inside and out [14:06] coz_ cables cant really relate to installation [14:07] jrib, finally i google and i found this beauty function "find /mnt/ebs_volume/mysql_backup/ -type f -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;" i need test it but i dont want remove any of my files older, only the ne ones that i created for the test [14:07] to get flash, don't you type ----> sudo apt-get sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin and something else? [14:07] ruan, I have seen very odd behavior with loose cables,, === Trystam is now known as Tristam [14:07] kmck: don't you mean java? [14:07] !java | kmck [14:07] kmck: To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu on 10.04 LTS and newer, see http://tinyurl.com/2ffg7cc - For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [14:07] ActionParsnip: yes sorry [14:07] java is on package list [14:07] ruan: not without enabling partner repo first [14:08] synaptic works [14:08] my problem is, my terminal won't let me install java [14:08] kmck, go to source.list and uncoment all debian package, then use apt-get update and then try install again those package [14:08] hi [14:08] kmck: you need to enable the partner repo in software centre [14:08] osmosis_paul: so do it in a new directory. But that command does not do what you asked. [14:08] kman__, open synaptic package manager go to "Settings" "repositories" [14:09] is there a way to check the filesystem on ubuntu, and the boot register? [14:09] yes i just need change -f by -d and works with direcories [14:09] kman__, Click the "other software" tab and tick all boxes there [14:09] I'm running default Samba 3.5 on Ubun tu 10.10. and I'm trying to get permissions right for point'n'print driver upload from a windows box. So far no luck. Anyone ever done this before? === CharlieS1 is now known as CharlieSu [14:09] kman__, then close that dialog and hit the :"Reload" button [14:09] I have a newly installed OS and a bit trouble booting [14:09] osmosis_paul: except it uses modification time which may or may not be sufficient for what you want to accomplish [14:10] kman__, if you want sun java then hit Search and type in sun java then install the sun-java6-plugin and it will pull down all you need,, [14:10] jrib, i know what you mean, so if someone read one of this files the date will change right? [14:11] jrib, its installed [14:11] kman__, if not sun java hit search and type in ubuntu restriced and install the ubuntu-restricted-extas [14:11] osmosis_paul: hmm, no [14:11] ActionParsnip: how about apt-cacher-ng ? [14:11] nagel182: now use it ;o [14:11] jrib, how can i check it if works? [14:11] jrib, then why do you think is not what i want? [14:11] a major improvement in Maverick is that it manages the fan and cooling on my laptop much better than the others [14:12] osmosis_paul: because your question involved creation time [14:12] osmosis_paul: and you've set it up with your naming scheme so that that's actually feasible [14:12] if anything, it might run unnessecarily on high [14:13] jrib, how can i check it if it works? [14:13] i still can't boot ubuntu though [14:13] nagel182: try using it to do something? [14:14] jrib, the script that i see using the name as date are crazy\ [14:14] what are people using to check sfv files? [14:14] how can hawe all video codec in ubuntu 10.10 [14:14] osmosis_paul: well if this is sufficient for you then use it, only you can decide that [14:14] jrib, this way is quite simple, but i dont see why wont work it, i just want remove file/directories 5 days olders [14:15] jrib, thats the thing i dont know it until i install magickwand for PHP, and thats another issue... [14:15] osmosis_paul: if a file gets modified, its mtime changes [14:15] nagel182: just use php5-imagick from apt [14:16] jrib, yes i asumm that, but gonna be only readable files so... maube the effor to use the other technique dont pay off [14:16] osmosis_paul: probably [14:16] osmosis_paul: again, it depends on your setup [14:16] jrib, anyway question again, how can i modify the modify date of a file to made this test, it is possible? [14:16] osmosis_paul: yes, you can use "touch" [14:16] osmosis_paul: just touch the file [14:17] * Pooch waves hello to porker [14:17] * Pooch waves hello to Wololo [14:17] * Pooch waves hello to hateball [14:17] * Pooch waves hello to nwg|jenka [14:17] Pooch: stop please [14:17] * Pooch waves hello to herbmonk === nwg|jenka is now known as jenka [14:17] Pooch: please stop [14:17] * Da|Mummy hits Pooch with a rolled up newspaper [14:17] Da|Mummy: don't add to it [14:17] * Pooch waves hello to sburjan [14:18] * jrib launches ikonia missile [14:18] there used to be a way to do file check [14:18] What is the different between apt-mirror and apt-cache-ng ?

[14:19] thanks [14:19] silverlightning: fsck [14:19] kmck: use sudo [14:19] what are people using to check sfv files? [14:20] ikonia: like sudo add-apt-repository [14:20] in terminal sudo fsck? [14:20] kmck: just prefix the command with sudo [14:20] and it will just check, not mess up? [14:20] silverlightning: no, if you want to check your root file system you need to do it from a livecd [14:20] silverlightning: if it's another file system you need to unount it and check the device, eg: sudo fsck /dev/sda2 [14:20] hmm [14:20] oh it works [14:20] thank!

Should I enter something for mount point or do I leave this empty ? [15:54] ZipTye: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesDesktopsHp [15:54] And finally, what should I choose for the boot loader ? [15:55] hello [15:55] edwardteach, I set quota on my account and when I'm trying to log in via gnome I see warning that I should remove some files (to do it i gotta login via terminal) [15:55] friends any one? [15:55] but i don't know how to login via terminal (how to display terminal) [15:56] Applications> Accessories> Terminal [15:56] Lungan you should be able to simply either choose an older grub config at the grub prompt, or point it to the correct kernel, and get booted === Doc0C is now known as DocOC [15:56] creds: ctrl + alt + f1 will bring you to a terminal, you can also go to applications >> accessories >> terminal if you login via the gui [15:56] how do you mount an iso to /cdrom/ in ubuntu netbook? [15:56] DocOC, When im in live cd and write "grub" in terminal it says its not installed? [15:57] is it possible to use conky-colors with conky and make it transparent? [15:57] ok, thanks a lot [15:57] it's asking me to insert cd, all i can do is mount the iso somehow [15:57] having difficulty getting to hear sound on my computer not sure whats causing it [15:57] Lungan not in live cd, [15:57] Why do people offer ctrl alt F1 when you have to restart to get out of it? [15:57] DocOC, How then? [15:57] uRock: you dont [15:57] When you get the grub promote during normal boot [15:58] hi! [15:58] uRock: you can CTRL+ALT+F7 [15:58] Prompt [15:58] when i play a sound file with aplay i can see in a settings menu where it is playing yet i dont hear antyhing [15:58] is there a way to get zeroconf to stop making me use only the hostname of the local domain? [15:58] popey: you bet me to it ! [15:58] popey, I have tried that recently, didn't work [15:58] adub__: alsamixer, turn up the volume and unmute? [15:58] StevenTyler: do you mean sudo mount -o loop file.iso /cdrom [15:58] i have problems with preview-latex in Emacs =/ [15:58] for example I have to use wiki instead of the wiki.domain.local [15:58] uRock: maybe F8, its not always on 7 [15:58] DocOC, Im pretty noob, how should i do when i come to the grub meny? [15:58] it's screwing up page links and stuff [15:58] uRock: what kind of keyboard? [15:58] how to open an X dialog from shell with default packages installed? [15:59] popey yes they are all spifs 1-4 are set to 00 [15:59] I tried that, not working. Let me try again. [15:59] why not recommend ctrl alt f2, then the user can easily close it [15:59] this is through hdmi i cant get my analog sound working either but i dont care about that atm i really would rather use my hdmi sound [15:59] Just usr arrows to navigate to a coherent boot option [15:59] milamber, MS keyboard [15:59] DocOC, But all of them gives the samer error? [16:00] somebody know if there are some diferent to execute an script manually to do it by cron??? [16:00] Different, not coherent [16:00] in command line works but by cron dont do it the svn checkout [16:00] Ok, one question at the time : 1) Should I use ext4 for ubuntu 10.10 installation ? [16:00] DocOC, ? [16:00] as logical drive [16:00] Djoef, yes [16:00] uRock: is there an f lock button? [16:01] You have tried them all? [16:01] milamber, no [16:01] getting "Failed to fetch cdrom" [16:01] on the monitor im using i have them selected to use internal speakers the monitor i have the hdmi cable hooked to [16:01] I am trying to install some drivers [16:01] Hey. I'm having trouble installing zlib1g-dev... Synaptic tells me that the file's not found. I tried downloading the package manually (zlib1g-dev_1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb), but when I try to install it, it tells me "Sorry, Zlib's not available for amd64".. I REALLY need to have this installed. Any suggestions on how to force it to be? [16:01] How can I finalize(close) a data DVD? I burnt it with nero(in win). Can I do it with Brasero(or GnomeBaker)? [16:01] uRock, should I set the mount point ? or can this stay empty ? [16:01] DocOC, Having 7 different kernels, should I try all of them? And if none of them works? [16:02] OK last question - would I be able to install UBUNTU SERVER on the same hard drive along with UBUNTU 10 by simply installing from CD-ROM or will somthing get ereased? [16:02] djoare you installing Ubuntu? [16:02] uRock: you should probably file a bug then [16:02] the mount command works without any errors [16:02] osmosis_paul: in the crontab, are you placing the full path to the command? [16:02] uRock, yes, next to a windows partition and data partition [16:02] yes [16:02] but system can't find it [16:02] !who | StevenTyler [16:02] StevenTyler: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:02] and it is more i have 4 scipts, 3 are running and the last one only part of it [16:02] djoare, then you will need the swap and "/" partitions [16:03] Hi How can I finalize(close) a data DVD? I burnt it with nero(in win). Can I do it with Brasero(or GnomeBaker)? [16:03] uRock, I created a swap partition of 2GB, but left the mount point empty [16:03] Hey, I have a question. For some reason I can not open a website hosted on a specific port. My iptables are clean and netstat shows that the service is listening. http://paste.ubuntu.com/568278/ Anyone an idea? [16:03] uRock, so I need to change that ? [16:03] rzx237, getting "Failed to fetch cdrom" [16:03] raido, there's some limitation in cron to use subversion program?? because it is there where dont do anything [16:03] hardhead: if you install it in another partition it will be ok [16:03] Lungan try them all, if none works, you will need to use grub command line options to point to a working kernel and ram disk [16:03] DocOC, And how do I do that? Because non of them seem to work [16:03] StevenTyler: no idea.. [16:03] ah no, for a swap partition you cannot set a mount point [16:03] so thats ok [16:03] they can be logical or primary, Djoef, no mount pount needed for swap, just for the ext4 [16:04] osmosis_paul: not that I know of, is your svn repo local or remote [16:04] Ok, so for the EXT4 I set the mount point to "/" [16:04] remote [16:04] si senior Djoef [16:04] osmosis_paul: how are you authenticating [16:04] raido, but if i execute my script manually works [16:04] rzx237: thats my problem I cant get anything to unmount so I can create a partition to throw it into [16:04] uRock: does the windows key + f7 work? [16:04] uRock, gracias :) [16:04] Looked over that page, thanks milamber [16:04] raido, if execute manually works/ with login/password [16:04] milamber, not sure, haven't tried [16:05] Then the last question : Where should the boot loader point to ? [16:05] Lungan I do not know off the top of my head, and I am irving from my phone, so a bit tough to read man pages, but the man page will tell you [16:05] raido, the point is that is a huge download at least the first time [16:05] Hey guys, I'd like to be able to read and write files in a specific directory, but the access is set to root +rwx only. How do I use the chmod command to give my user priviliges to read and write? [16:05] DocOC, OH, okey thank you [16:05] Irc'ing, not irving [16:05] Djoef, wherever the Wondows MBR is, usually sda [16:05] osmosis_paul: well, how does he auth work under cron, doenst it need to be interactive [16:05] hardhead: boot using live cd can help you doing partitioning [16:05] uRock, so the disk as a whole or the windows parttition ? [16:06] raido, i specify in the query --username --password [16:06] Let the installer decide Djoef [16:06] rzx237: even if I already have UBUNTU as MY OS? [16:06] raido, svn checkout $SVN_MACHINE $SOURCE_BACKUP --username $LOGIN --password $PASSWORD [16:06] does anyone know how to strip the audio from a video without ffmpeg? [16:06] hardhead: yes, you can do resize partition [16:06] well it fills in the disk as a whole as standard, but I don't know if that is because its the first option, or because it decided that [16:07] osmosis_paul: hmmmm, so, if you copy and paste the exact command from the crontab to the command line it will run properly? [16:07] so I can choose the disk as a whole, the windows partition, data, swap or ext4 [16:07] DMDean: handbrake might do what you are looking for? i'm not sure what the backend is though. [16:07] for the record : I would like to have a menu to choose between linux and windows on startup, but that was clear i guess ;) [16:08] raido, error because i dont specify sudo, but asume that cron do it everything as root [16:08] whos crontab are you using [16:09] ubuntut crontab of ubuntu [16:09] DMDean: i have also had quite a bit of luck w/ k9copy [16:09] osmosis_paul: what user [16:09] raido, what do you mean? [16:09] Hahah, I had to share this with you. I've been digging around the net and found this gem: "Linux is a free open-source operating on Unix. It's different then the Windows and Mac OSX operating system because it is freely distributed." [16:09] osmosis_paul: all users have their own crontab [16:09] DMDean, have you tried -an with ffmpeg ? [16:10] raido, is the same if i edit the /etc/crontab there you can specify the user and even putting as root does not works, i try the two ways [16:10] g_0_0, yea [16:10] !ot | MeanEYE [16:10] MeanEYE: #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! [16:10] osmosis_paul: if the command needs SU privelages then use roots crontab [16:10] this way and the other one sudo crontab -e [16:10] How the hell do I turn off overtype in Linux on a mac keyboard? [16:10] This is a nightmare [16:10] and there edtinf there the tasks [16:10] xangua, yes yes I know... [16:10] hey everyone, I'm looking for help with fixing my wireless network since I made the upgrade (via complete reformat/reinstall) from 9.04 to 10.10 (both netbook editions of Ubuntu). My wired network works just fine, but I can't seem to get a list of wireless networks. Is this the right place to ask, or is there another, better place to do so? [16:10] g_0_0, it compressed the video while I was doing it or whatever and made the quality crap [16:10] recommend a channel for a compiling question that doesnt require an invite? [16:11] raido, yes and i can see that all the job of the other script was doing as root [16:11] !register | Homefix [16:11] Homefix: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[16:11] DMDean, ffmpeg -i somefile.mp4 -an somefile-2.mp4 [16:11] os, so, you are root when you run crontab -e [16:11] Gnea, I meant Insert mode [16:12] magn3ts: again, that's not very clear. insert mode works in vim. [16:12] zachaysan - hello [16:12] hi mage [16:12] DMDean, just try - ffmpeg -i infile.avi -an -o outfile.avi [16:12] magn3ts: It's software dependant. [16:12] Gnea, I don't really know how else to explain overtype|insert mode. There's no other word for. It's what happens when you press the "Insert" key. [16:12] raido, maybe because is a very huge download he was mading and dont show any folder until he finish. Yes i use sudo with the command. Befopre i made a ps aux | grep cron and i have three process counting the grep, it is normal ?? [16:13] whats the netbook version of ubuntu OS called again? [16:13] am i registered now? [16:13] KB1JWQ: no, its Mac specific, I mean, maybe GNOME specific, but it's the same regardless of what editor I'm in. [16:13] raido, normaly when i execute the checkout expend 10 minutes in download everything [16:13] computer_: netbook edition... [16:13] xangua: kool thanks im getting it now [16:13] zachaysan - if I were you I would do a fresh install of 10.10 instead of the upgrade [16:13] anyone have some experience with svn and eclipse that could help me out? [16:13] mage3070 - I did so [16:14] what hardware? [16:14] could anyone let me know when I would need to use ./foo.bin versus using bash ./foo.xxx [16:14] mage3070 - asus eeepc (second gen, IIRC) [16:14] hi all my system froze 7 times today, each time the ALT+SYSRQ .... didn't work. which section of the log file should i check to find out what's causing my sys to freeze? I am looking at 'messages' section of my log but nothing suspicious there, any ideas? [16:14] magn3ts: when I press the 'insert' key on my keyboard, typing over left-arrowed text overwrites it, like it should, but if I press 'insert' again, it appends the text in place. is that what you mean? [16:14] osmosis_paul: I dont think so [16:14] Hi. I need help. I need to have my computer connected to Internet for the first time (I suppose I have to configure the connection..) Can someone help me? [16:14] do you know the ethernet card? [16:14] raido, then i dont understand === JanC_ is now known as JanC [16:15] in Ubuntu 10.10, where do I find all my system info, processor, storage, etc? [16:15] osmosis_paul: when you ran the exact command from the crontab on the command line you got a permissions error, right? [16:15] when I run the command "sh hplip-3.11.1.run" everything is OK. except I get "No network" Error. Im working this doc. http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html [16:15] mage3070 - no, but is there a way I can check? ifconfig? (networking noob speaking) [16:15] if i dont sudo yes [16:15] osmosis_paul: oh [16:16] oh whayt? cron works as root [16:16] osmosis_paul: but with sudo it runs fine [16:16] Toph, you can go to System-Administration-System Monitor as a starting place [16:16] how to creat a root user on Ubuntu? [16:16] yes there is - It's a short terminal command that i can't quite remember now - it starts with ip [16:16] raido, so is the same that made sudo manually [16:16] Toph, you can also "cat /proc/cpuinfo [16:16] osmosis_paul: ? [16:16] raido, is like i made su and then execute the command without sudo [16:17] researcher1, sudo adduser [16:17] cron is root user [16:17] androidbruce,,, thanks [16:17] raido, so he dont need sudo [16:17] mage3070 - ok let me google for it and get back to you [16:17] ehh its not working xangua lol, [16:17] androidbruce: whats the complete command [16:17] Gnea, yes, indeedy. The problem is, Mac keyboards lack that button. [16:17] you dont need to add sudo to the command in the crontab. You are using roots crontab [16:17] researcher1, do you already have access to the root user and want to create another user/ [16:17] For some reason the the Apple Keyboard ubuntu wiki page doesn't rank very highly. [16:18] raido, i dont add it [16:18] androidbruce: yes I do have [16:18] g_0_0, ffmpeg: unrecognized option '-o' [16:18] how do I download 'netbook' and boot up into kit [16:18] androidbruce: I want to creat a user by the name root with all root priveleges [16:18] it's lspci [16:19] researcher1: already there [16:19] raido, that's why if i copy the exact line from cron and execute in command line does not works [16:19] DMDean, sorry the -o is a mistake just remove it [16:19] becuase i'm ubuntu user [16:19] os [16:19] researcher1, in a default install with ubuntu root is preinstalled [16:19] and the password for root is the password for the default user you created [16:19] androidbruce: but the username is not root.I want username to be root [16:19] mage3070 - ok, I ran both lspci and lsusb [16:19] g_0_0, ok it worked thanks :D [16:19] osmosis_paul: you got me, I cant imaging why you are having trouble [16:20] researcher1, username root is there [16:20] DMDean, you're welcome [16:20] researcher1, right now if you do "sudo su" [16:20] then enter your sudo password [16:20] you will be the root user [16:20] Hello.

But if I only got 1 domain under "local host aliases" Then it works fine.

[16:52] and then i installed 10.4 and its still disabled [16:52] what do i need to do to fix this [16:52] movx: Yes, no output generally means success [16:52] Hm, should the bootloader be linked to the hdd as a whole /dev/sda or to the microsoft partition /dev/sda1 ( eg such that I can choose which os to start) [16:52] whisperkiller: Which wifi chip is it? [16:52] the wireless originally worked with the live cd [16:52] xangua : i'm scared to do the distro upgrade remotely.

[17:31] hello [17:31] ActionParsnip, i said i CANT, not wont. I have too many external devices that arent supported in linux. [17:31] hi tishammer [17:31] adeee_, is the RAM for your server or a Desktop machine? [17:31] will come back later [17:32] juso: then thats the peripheral sellers fault, you could bother them to support Linux more [17:32] i'm trying to increase my i/o performance. every i/o intensive task is pretty slow and risens %wa. on a fast computer doing something like "for i in *.gz; do gunzip $i; done" is taking 30% cpu and 30%wa. any ideas? [17:32] Urock this is for desktop machine [17:32] juso: What external devices? [17:32] do you have a graphics card or just the graphics that are built in? [17:32] Can someone tell me how I can setup my Ubuntu box to act as a file server? I want to be able to map windows computers to it over the internet rather than LAN. [17:32] soreau no i have not i am about to try it...the main thing is i wanted to talk to someone who knows what they are talking about before i went through and trying to update everything this time [17:32] Can someone tell me how I can setup my Ubuntu box to act as a file server? I want to be able to map windows computers to it over the internet rather than LAN. [17:32] Sorry [17:33] ActionParsnip, so you're saying if all major retailers sold linux as an option OS, the manufactures wont start supporting? come on now.. lets get serious [17:33] soreau i spent two hours updating and setting things up last time to have someone tell me i needed to install a different version [17:33] tishammer: you could look into hdparm [17:33] MrMintanet2, right click and share the files [17:33] uRock, Can you not give any more info than that? I am behind a corporate firewall. I am the network admin though. === Prajwal_ is now known as Prajwal [17:34] whisperkiller: I'd say by the looks of that wiki page, you need to install the backports package. You may have to do this for really new hardware before the driver makes it into the kernel [17:34] soreau im really glad i caught you though because you kinda helped me figure out whats going on....always appreciate the help mate [17:34] whisperkiller: No problem, let me know if it works [17:34] soreau, canon camera/software, a specific wireless keyword, a all in one fax/printer/scanner - plus a few more [17:34] How do i make a startup script so weechat starts at login? [17:34] juso: wireless keyword? [17:34] !samba | MrMintanet2 [17:34] MrMintanet2: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [17:34] MrMintanet, you might ask more over on #ubuntu-server, but it's basically Samba setup issues and security and firewall ports, I would think. [17:34] soreau yes someone mentioned installing the backports earlier...i just wanted to make sure what was up [17:35] juso: if Linux got as much support as the companies give to Window there wouldnt be an issue. Sadly many are ignorant. Companies like IBM, Nvidia, Intel, Brother and HP make great Linux drivers and support very well [17:35] !iptables | MrMintanet2 [17:35] MrMintanet2: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. [17:35] MrMintanet2 if you are sharing to the outside world, then you'll have to forward ports, otherwise just sharing the folder should make it avail to everyone on the network === Explodingpiglets is now known as Cahl-hith [17:35] twitch, I want to set it up so that the windows computer can mount the network drive over the internet... [17:35] ActionParsnip, exactly. so my point stands.. [17:35] uRock my graphic card is builtin === Kira is now known as k_sze [17:35] adeee_, 32bit or 64bit OS? [17:35] juso: I don't see why any of those devices wouldn't work in linux.. maybe you could set up vbox in ubuntu with whatever OS to connect to devices on the usb bus [17:35] 32 bit os [17:35] uRock, I want it to map over the internet. Could you possibly break this process down? [17:36] juso: I think the companies would have to support the OS if they want the "new OS" users to buy their products [17:36] MrMintanet2 that is beyond my abilities [17:36] juso: But yea, really if your device vendor doesn't support linux, it might be time to consider a better vendor ;) [17:36] soreau, come on now.. install linux, then install another OS ina virtual enviorment to get my devices to work.... [17:37] juso: amen to what soreau said, vote with yor wallet. Don't give money to companies not supporting Linux [17:37] juso: Or get better devices, it's up to you really [17:37] Can someone tell me how I can setup my Ubuntu box to act as a file server? I want to be able to map windows computers to it over the internet rather than LAN. [17:37] movx, dunno how else to help , looks like a failed install ...perhaps a reinstall is in order [17:37] juso: what make / model is the printer / scanner (please not lexmark).....? [17:37] soreau, so how good a device is depends on if its supported in linux? lol [17:38] MrMintanet: There's plenty of different configurations and protocols you can use to set that up. Try being more specific with your question or use google [17:38] ActionParsnip, i can print to it, but I cant use the scan to computer options and such, which is why i use it mainly. [17:38] soreau, I am wanting to MAP a network drive OVER THE INTERNET. This is very specific. [17:38] MrMintanet2 if you need help with your routers/switches, then you should visit the IRC for your brand equipment [17:38] juso: Yes, that should tell you something about their company [17:38] MrMintanet2: look at samba, port forwarding for you firewall or vpn access. It's to complicated for in here something you will spend time reading about [17:38] MrMintanet2: You should do this via a vpn connection to the corporate net. once that vpn connection is established you would then connect as if they are on the LAN. [17:38] MrMintanet2: if you install openssh-server, you have an SFTP server already :) [17:39] MrMintanet: Try #networking maybe [17:39] juso: doesn't answer the question does it [17:39] * drc looks at the clock and wonders when troll feeding time rolled around? [17:39] soreau, you name ONE reputable camera company that supports linux with their software. i will wait. [17:39] Thanks everyone. [17:39] I will hunt [17:39] MrMintanet2: sftp is great for WAN access as it's secure [17:39] heh, MrMintanet just got answerized ;) [17:39] MrMintanet2:use a vpn or ssh to tunnel nfs/cifs [17:40] camera ... software? aren't they all just usb-storage devices these days? [17:40] juso: what make / model is the printer/scanner please? [17:40] drc, it is not nice to call people trolls [17:40] To everyone suggesting VPN or SSH, I realize these are options. I would like to rely on Windows Authentication as my means to connect. [17:40] ActionParsnip, i need the specific software to run NOT an alternative. [17:40] juso: Nobody cares about software. If the driver is in the kernel and the device works, that's enough. If you want the little pretty software doodads with bells and whistles, use windows, wine or a VM [17:40] juso: my girlfriends does as I take the SD card out and jam it in a card reader. Ironically it's a Kodak whom HATE linux [17:40] Not ubuntu issue [17:41] ActionParsnip: i did hdparm it, and it's fast [17:41] tishammer: nice [17:41] juso: Most cameras are block devices that justwork in linux [17:41] juso: what make / model is the printer / scanner please? [17:42] ActionParsnip: i have 97MB/s buffered reads on hdparm [17:42] soreau, i am taling about the camera software, canon EOS utility [17:42] juso, you are avoiding the questions as to the makes and models that don't work for you. [17:42] juso: What functionality does this 'eos' provide? [17:42] soreau, google it. [17:42] ActionParsnip: the same operations are 4x faster on my macbook with mac osx. tested on linux with on different hardware, still slow [17:42] BluesKaj, thanks for all the help, you brought me close to a solution, it is a netbook 10.04 with plenty of data, several kernel image updates, will keep have to keep trying somehow. [17:42] juso: found this, seems Canon Coolpiz works nice: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1502511 [17:42] juso: If you want help with your devices, install ubuntu then show us the output of lsusb and lspci [17:42] Anybody know if I can use include-from and exclude-from in rsync at same time? [17:42] tishammer: is the system a macbook? [17:42] JuJuBee: should be able to [17:43] juso: No, you're here for support, not me. You do the googling [17:43] ActionParsnip: the fast one is a macbook with mac os. the slow ones are desktops / racks with ubuntu 10.10 [17:43] !gnome-shell [17:43] ! unity | erkan^ [17:43] erkan^: Unity is a shell for GNOME, but it is not GNOME-shell. See http://unity.ubuntu.com and http://www.jonobacon.org/2010/10/31/unity-some-further-clarification-points/ for more information. Have a question, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/unity [17:43] tishammer: then obviously it will be better. The OS is custom made for the exact hardware you are using. If you look at the spec of a PS3 or an XBOX360 they SUCK but the games are custom made to run well onsuch poor hardware [17:44] soreau, i never asked for help or support, i am TELLING YOU - the software doesn't run on linux, and i need that specific software. [17:44] BluesKaj, bye for now.. it is almost midnight here... thanks again [17:44] juso: ok, contact the vendor for a Linux version of the software [17:44] what is unity, soreau ? [17:44] juso: If you aren't helping or getting help, you may leave. This is the ubuntu support channel [17:44] juso: That's like buying a camper shell for your old Ford truck and being upset when it doesn't fit your new Chevy Truck [17:44] erkan^: That factoid just told you [17:44] juso: problem solved. Good luck [17:44] ok [17:44] juso: how can we "google" what hardware YOU have?? [17:44] thank you [17:44] juso, you are avoiding the questions as to the makes and models that don't work for you. [17:44] ActionParsnip: drc all done [17:44] ActionParsnip: lmao [17:45] ikonia: sweet :) [17:45] soreau: its a fair point ;) [17:45] ikonia: darn...and I think I had a "real" answer for him [17:45] drc: he's refusing to give you the info, so lets end it [17:46] I made a simple ubuntu related statement, period. you are trying to turn it into something its not, calm down guys. wow. [17:46] juso: what do you want [17:46] ikonia, didnt i just say i made a simple ubuntu statement, is english your first language? [17:46] -_- [17:46] ikonia: oh, I will [17:46] juso: what do you want from this channel [17:46] juso: Can't you just put the SD card into your laptop? === Cahl-hith is now known as ExplodingPiglets [17:46] juso, I say it ONCE AGAIN>>> you are avoiding the questions as to the makes and models that don't work for you. [17:47] sjm: i just said, canon eos software, STOP TYPING in caps. [17:47] hi [17:47] juso: Not available for Ubuntu. [17:47] juso: ok, what do you want from this channel ? [17:47] juso: And I asked what functionality this 'eos' provides' [17:47] juso, you were also asked about printer/scanner/keyboards that you said didn't work. [17:47] wow im popular. [17:47] MrMintanet2: look at this doc for your file sharing setup. You should address your internet connection solution as a separate issue. [17:47] juso: you don't need EOS software in linux, or at least I have no idea why you would need it [17:48] juso: I found about 50 different Canon EOS model, care to narrow it down? [17:48] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComprehensiveSambaGuide [17:48] * AbhijiT eonders what is EOS btw!!! ;) [17:48] juso: digikam detects the EOS models fine, is able to download pictures, as well as handling raw pictures. For firmware updates you don't need it either [17:48] w* [17:48] AbhijiT: Canon camera OS software. [17:48] AbhijiT: its a range of cameras from Canon [17:48] ohhh okay! [17:48] AbhijiT: dslr cameras from canon, but he is refering to the software [17:48] juso: what model EOS do you have>? [17:49] hmm [17:49] Fuchs, I need it for real time viewing and recording, along with options to control the camera. [17:49] AbhijiT: Quite nice cameras too. [17:49] jpds, okay! :) [17:49] juso: Then, you'll have to talk to Canon about that. [17:49] juso: ok, so thats something you need to speak to cannon about [17:49] we can move on now [17:49] juso: until you reply to my perfectly reasonable question, nobody can help you at all [17:49] heh [17:49] jpds, cannon doesn't support linux on their software, for the 5th time. end of story, wow. [17:49] juso: in that case you have to run it in a virtualisation solution which passes through usb [17:50] juso: such as virtual box. [17:50] juso: ok, so there is nothing more to say, [17:50] ikonia: I thought I could use both also, but it seems that I cannot. When I copy the contents of include-from to the rsync command itself it works but not when I use include-from=... [17:50] juso, install WIndows and be happy [17:50] Fuchs: That's exactly what I suggested [17:50] uRock: I told him that too ;) [17:50] soreau: possible, I just joined :) [17:50] JuJuBee: I've never tried to be honest, but I'm surprised [17:50] Fuchs: hi btw :) [17:50] whats the android support like in ubuntu (android smartphones) [17:50] hi soreau :) [17:50] holy shit, lol - I made a simply statement "damn i wish i could run all my devices through linux, but the software isnt supported" CALM THE HELL DOWN GUYS [17:50] !droid [17:51] juso: drop the language [17:51] ! language | juso [17:51] juso: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:51] whew [17:51] wulfy: works regarding USB tethering, devloping and as a usb mass storage [17:51] wulfy: so: rather good [17:51] Fuchs, so better than current blackberry support? [17:51] wulfy: Also see #android [17:52] wulfy: probably, yes. I don't own any blackberry device [17:52] I guess it is Linux's fault that vendors don't support linux [17:52] wulfy: what functionality would you need? [17:52] sigh [17:52] wulfy: it rocks, there are loads of apps to help you control your system too (transdroid to manage torrents for example) === jack is now known as Guest20386 [17:52] soreau, thought it would be wiser asking on the platform i was using rather than asking them and them sendimg me here [17:52] ActionParsnip, yeah i saw the app for ssh (a must for remote admin on my nodes) [17:53] wulfy: Just making you aware.. some people don't know of other channels on the network [17:53] hi there fellow ubuntu user. [17:53] soreau, indeed :) [17:53] ActionParsnip: it's not so custom... it's not even the original harddrive [17:53] wulfy: indeed, plus andchat for those long bus rides ;) [17:53] invisilux, got questions? [17:53] Does anybody have any experience or knowledge towards using an Nokia E72 with ubuntu [17:53] ActionParsnip, voice of experiance :D love it lol thanks :) [17:53] tishammer: the controller is still the same, the IDE may be different but the drive controller is the same [17:53] invisilux: yes, very much [17:54] wulfy: hell yeah, fatrat have an android app in their to do list too [17:54] okay.. nice :) glad to know. [17:54] I'm new on ubuntu (linux in general) [17:54] invisilux: I've only just got rid of mine, do a good bit of work with the E72 and Linux [17:54] ! who | invisiblek [17:54] invisiblek: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [17:54] "did" sorry [17:54] ActionParsnip, im off to buy iver a blackberry or a droid tommrow.... i kinda think with the ubuntu support i might go for the droid [17:55] But is it possible to sync task and calender with the nokia e72 and evolution? [17:55] invisilux: short answer, no [17:55] wulfy: definitely android, since the most important things (file transfer, tethering) will work out of the box [17:55] !manual | invisilux [17:55] invisilux: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [17:55] invisilux: long answer, yes but it such a complex process you'll never maintain it [17:55] Fuchs, great :) [17:55] wulfy: +1 for Android [17:55] AbhijiT: why have you just given him the manual for a Nokia E72 question on ubuntu ? [17:55] oh.. okay. Well then i'll just find another way then :) [17:56] wulfy: it does a lot, i recommend droid and tonnes of my friends are dropping apple's rubbish for android based handsets [17:56] ikonia, because he said he is new to ubuntua nd linux [17:56] invisilux: the straight sync using tools like gnokia don't work, [17:56] Okay... [17:56] AbhijiT: so ? he had a specific question, don't spam people with info they didn't ask for [17:56] thanks guys (actionparsnip, stianhj Fuchs ) [17:56] good to know. === wulfy is now known as Wulfy [17:56] invisilux: you bascially have to sync evolution with a webdev server, then get the E72 to pull down the calander from a webdev server [17:57] ikonia, okay just thought that since he is new to linux ubu manual might be of his help [17:57] invisilux: you need the E72 conduit packs to be able to do it, it's a real drag === satya_ is now known as satya [17:57] hmm.. so your suggestion is to fetch from a webserver.. hmm [17:58] invisilux: no, a webdev server [17:58] invisilux: sorry, webdav [17:58] what if i could transfer my calender stuff to google calender, could I from there got it to sync with evolution? [17:59] invisilux: google calander is a web dav service, however setting up the conduits for the Nokia is a real pain [17:59] hmm.. yeah i could imagine, however I know a guy from work how sync with google and e72, so maybe.. [17:59] invisilux: I've been through all this myself and just worked out it was not a practical solution [18:00] invisiblek ikonia can you two take this to a PM or #ubuntu-offtopic as it is not Ubuntu specific support. [18:00] is there a web service I can install to get an IRC client in Ubuntu. I don't want an IRC server. Just a service on a server I can access via HTTP and get a client. Thanks [18:00] err invisilux ^^ [18:00] invisilux: actually it is, it's E72 syncing with Evolution in Ubuntu [18:00] oops [18:00] IdleOne: ^ [18:00] ActionParsnip: freenode offers a webchat client [18:01] IdleOne: true but I fancied setting one up on my fileserver for kicks [18:01] ActionParsnip, mibbit.com? [18:01] how to add applications in wine? [18:01] ActionParsnip: oh, sorry i misunderstood the question [18:01] Ubuntu-user: Install them? [18:02] Wulfy: let me check it [18:02] yeah [18:02] i'm having some issue with wine [18:02] IdleOne: Yea, he asked specifically how to get that model device working with ubuntu [18:02] ActionParsnip: cgiirc.org [18:02] it is? [18:02] Ubuntu-user: What is the problem?? [18:03] cool. Thank you for clearing some stuff for me :) [18:03] llutz: looks good dude, its in the repo too ;) [18:04] ActionParsnip: works fine, easy to configure [18:04] i installed java on wine to use SDM for cisco and than i was unable to remove java... [18:04] yea [18:04] they sent me here [18:04] i feel its not working properly now [18:04] they say it's ubuntu problem [18:05] beacuse my device is clearly registered in wmvare [18:05] but is not shown in ubuntu [18:05] Hello everyone.I have this problem in lucid where when I do ctrl+s then the window pops up but disappears and the minimize and maximize my window again then only it is visible.Why is this? [18:05] Ubuntu-user: Maybe you can try #winehq for wine-specific support [18:05] thanks mate [18:05] ubentu [18:05] virtual machine ey? [18:06] hi :) how can I make ubuntu re-run my iptables based firewall every time my network status changes (e.g. wired connection attached, wireless connection establishes etc?)

[18:10] who is flooding here? [18:10] is a hack attack? [18:10] js_: You could stop gdm from starting and just start X manually.. or create a custom session to select in gdm [18:10] how do I check if I'm running x64 or not? [18:10] tehbaut: uname -m [18:10] I don't remember what version I installed [18:10] I cannot seem to get apt-get updates === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [18:10] soreau: any hints on creating a custom session? [18:10] enav: It's not a flood, it's people joining/parting the channel. You may be able to disable join/leave messages in your irc client [18:10] is there issues with the us updates servers today or something? [18:10] anyone here familiar with ryzom [18:11] js_: /msg FusioBot standalone [18:11] Fuchs: i686 ...is that x64 I presume?

When I use sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf I change something, save the file, it doesn't give me an error. If I close and then re-open my changes aren't there. [18:11] I'm trying to redirect output in crontab but it's ignoring the standard &>/dev/null [18:11] tehbaut: no, that would be x86 (32 bit) [18:12] I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 from a thumb drive.

[18:12] evenin all [18:12] sre-su: If there is a command to lock the screen, you can just call that from your session startup [18:12] since dash is the default shell, is cron also affected by this? meaning that I need a different redirect statement? [18:12] Fuchs: I though x86 would be i386... or is that only for windows? [18:13] Unode|Work: Where is the output ending up? [18:13] tehbaut: i*86 is x86 [18:13] soreau, on email [18:14] Unode|Work: There's a way to set email to null [18:14] soreau, yes, but I still want email [18:14] wine error for insallation : Error when opening a registry key the key doesnt' exist key Java Runtime Environment...... [18:14] tehbaut: else uname -m would say x86_64 [18:14] Unode|Work: right.. [18:14] soreau, but not stderr [18:14] soreau: How to call that at login/auto-login? I want that just after auto-login screen is locked ... [18:14] Fuchs: gotcha... ok, thanks! [18:14] Unode|Work: Does it make a difference if you try > /dev/null 2&>1 ? [18:14] soreau, testing [18:15] sre-su: what? [18:15] soreau: How to call lock command at login/auto-login? [18:15] sre-su: I don't know if there's a command to lock the screen but if you have one, you can use it [18:15] sre-su: Just disable Auto Login, it will boot to Login Screen, done.

[20:45] irvken: NVIDIA (173) is an old NVIDEA Driver, NVIDIA (recommended) is the current driver and BROADCOM (sta) is probably a proprietary driver for your wireless [20:45] soreau: or maybe that is? On one of the machines top will sort things on cpu-activity and secondly on pid. On the other the view is cluttered by loads of non-cpu-using processes with low digit pids. [20:46] hi. Is there any command line apt command, to select the best download server, for updates ? [20:46] Mike__: no [20:46] Mike__: there is one but iirc it only works for debian mirrors [20:47] sandstrom: Try reading the top manpage: man top [20:47] Mike__: i think it's even been removed from the recent ubuntu versions because of that [20:47] besogon: thanks! [20:47] In Network Manager, there's a checkbox to show the wireless password. Is there a way to prevent this from coming up, or at least making network manager require a root password to get into?

[20:48] aniway i hawe this repository [20:48] deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main [20:48] deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick main [20:48] deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-security main restricted [20:48] deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu maverick-security main restricted [20:48] BIGBAMBU: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:48] Roasted: there is no root password in Ubuntu [20:48] BIGBAMBU: get rid of the medibuntu one you have (check /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ if you don't see it in sources.list) [20:48] hello, how do you add a new modem to modemmanager so network manager can use it properly? (it works fine in all ppp dialers, modem manager is just selecting the wrong port to use) [20:49] Anyone know how to install a .app or .dmg in Ubuntu? Or if there is even a way to do it. [20:49] Roasted: users can connect to wirelesses as they need. I believe (I could be wrong), that users not in the admin group cannot change wireless conectivity options [20:49] Roasted: Well, it does it automatically for a few things at least, when you first entered the pwd it probably did ask. [20:49] cuppsy: do you mean Mac installers? [20:50] ActionParsnip, well I was just curious if there was a way to restrict peopel from getting into certain areas to begin with. It'd be nice if there was some sort of "ACL" for programs/areas in the system. [20:50] hello, I have a problem with folders that i cannot go inside [20:50] ActionParsnip: Yeah, I have a .dmg file (it's a program, PHPFI), and I'm trying to figure out how to install it. With TransMac under Wine, I can extract the folders and .app, but can't figure out if there's a way to run it. [20:50] the error is : "the folder doesn't exist" [20:50] Hi all. [20:50] ActionParsnip, I was just concerned about the wireless key being able to be seen by the click of a button. Granted I'm in the admin group, but I do NOT have to put in a root PW to look in network manager and check ":show key" for wireless. [20:51] Roasted: users not in the admin group (as far as I know) cannot join wirelesses [20:51] Roasted: There is some settings in the "advanced" section of users and groups in the dmin menu [20:51] ActionParsnip, I was thinking about a mass deployment of ubuntu standpoint... I work at a school, so if I hand out 200 laptops with wireless connected, I do NOT want the students to know the key. They'll just turn around and get on it with their phones and personal devices. [20:51] cuppsy: not sure, is there not a linux equivelant [20:52] Roasted: tricky, they will have read access to the config files so they can be used.... [20:52] Roasted: I am sure there are some kiosk style set ups you can create that create special users etc...? [20:53] question: is it possible to hide certain mounted volumes from showing up on the desktop?? (i know how to toggle them in gconf-editor, and tried adding them to a .hidden file on the dektop, but neither are the solution i'm looking for) [20:53] ActionParsnip: Not that I've been able to find. Thanks for the responses, though. I'll see what I can find. [20:53] for some reason, my "Open With" Dialog contains tons of duplicates. is there a way to clean it up? [20:54] I've found the problem, [20:54] i have no sound zero but my sound card acts as if its working [20:55] not really sure but i have tried 3 different speakers on this [20:55] Travis, open with dialoge is located ~./local/share/applications/mimeapps.list [20:55] Hello!

[20:56] español? [20:56] Could somebody advice me a lisp translator for ubuntu? [20:56] tim_: for the last time no [20:56] i am thinking pulse audio may be preventing everything from working i read online this could be the cause [20:56] Travis-42: open a terminal and type: gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list [20:56] how would i go about removing pulse audio drivers [20:57] bc81, thanks [20:57] Travis-42: the file is prefixed with a . so it's hidden by default. you can press ctrl+h to show hidden files [20:57] also should i unmute all 4 channels [20:57] can someone help with sound that is really good at troublehsooting?

[21:05] no, metacity needs the --replace [21:06] EddFace: bc81: "compiz" on its own implies the --replace , if you add the --replace you need to specify *all* the paramenters required to run compiz [21:06] vish: thanks for the tip :) [21:06] np..

[22:03] REALLY!!!!! this dang wireless is the only thing in between me and success!!! and i don't have any internet connection for this thing other than a modem and a non-functional wireless card... [22:03] I request for someone with iptables knowledge, specifically port forwarding [22:03] deuterium: ext is the file format? whe you install ubuntu you can select that as the file format... [22:03] anyone know if I can configure a modem port to work with dsl? [22:03] gbear14275: What card is it?

[22:04] thanks ikonia [22:04] gbear14275: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RTL8180L [22:04] soreau, sorry [22:04] deuterium: doesn't use vmware tools with it [22:04] dataviruset: try a little later [22:04] is anyone familiar with having 3 or more monitors in ubuntu, making it 1 large desktop, the only guides i seem to find seem horridly outdated [22:04] deuterium: "don't" sorry [22:05] ischliky: how many video cards [22:05] ActionParsnip: ok, but i'm in a hurry :p [22:05] MrMintanet: I don't see a man page for clamav, does it go by another name? [22:05] likely using 2 cards, hoping for a 2:2 set up that is all one desktop [22:05] ikonia: well, i created a clone now, effectively shrinking the image without vmware tools. but i'm still interested in whether one can just boot into ext2 instead of ext4. [22:05] Datz: you can install calmtk and use a GUI [22:06] mostly i found some conflicting information about 3d acceleration being avaiable on all the screens [22:06] deuterium: it's based on the same core file system but a much later version, it's not look ext3 being ext2+journal [22:06] ischliky: how many video cards [22:06] ActionParsnip: ah, ok thanks I'll consider that [22:06] ActionParsnip: have you used it, is it any good? [22:06] ikonia: 2 cards, both nvidia [22:07] Datz: i recommend you add the clamav ppa for newer defs and engine [22:07] Datz: yeah its sweet [22:07] ActionParsnip: thanks, I will [22:07] ActionParsnip, thanks... although I thought this was all resolved in 10.04... what confuses me is that it just can't see networks in 10.10 [22:07] ActionParsnip: ubottu have any info on that? [22:07] ischliky: ok, so you won't get 3 acceleration, you can use twinview, but that only supports multiple monitors on one card, or the non-propitary drivers, in which case no acceleration [22:07] didn't know there was a ppa for it :) === eldurian_ is now known as eldurian1 [22:08] ./golly: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5: version `GLIBCPP_3.2' not found (required by ./golly) [22:08] Hi all, im am learning bash script and i was wondering if someone can take a look at this. http://pastebin.com/rJGs8Y8M If someone can give me a hint to help me learn that would be great [22:08] ikonia: i thought the main advantage of the ext* series being backwards compatibility, i.e. exty can be accessed as ext(y-1) [22:08] Datz: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-clamav/+archive/ppa [22:08] I don't know why that's coming up. It's a very discreat error. No real information. [22:08] Looks like there are no deb packages on Sourceforge for APTonCD [22:08] ActionParsnip: thanks [22:08] soreau, ikonia, yeah, I have a modem port on this laptop, tecra8000 (1999ish) and a pcmcia port which I'm trying to get this wireless card working on... other than that I have no network connection. I have a dsl connection here.. wondering if I can use the modem to connect [22:08] ikonia: thank you for information, will stick with just 2 monitors then for now, as i need 3d acceleration more then i need 4 screens [22:08] deuterium: it is backward compatible, but I wouldn't want to make that jump [22:09] ikonia: hm ok. thx [22:09] Note: there is no driver for Analog Devices ADT7467 or ADT7468 yet. [22:09] Nokio: i'd ask in #bash === eldurian1 is now known as eldurian [22:09] No modules to load, skipping modules configuration. [22:09] Can someone help me? i bought a KVM switch and i'm trying to use it to have it connected to my main PC (win7) and my new machine i just installed ubuntu on. I hooked it up properly, and tried using it. It worked when switching from the win7 machine to the ubuntu one, but after the (1st and only) successful switch, ubuntu just didn't seem to recognize my mouse or keyboard which are both USB [22:09] (plugged into kvm switch) [22:09] rww: thanks for the help, stopgap completed, will schedule a full upgrade for later. [22:09] willystylee: does the kvm support linux ? [22:10] ikonia: i dont know, it says it works for sun win and mac [22:10] ActionParsnip: I'm not seeing a package clamtk [22:10] willystylee: ok, so checking Linux support is worth while [22:11] i dont know why it woundnt be bale to work with linux tho [22:11] be able* [22:11] so now what No modules to load, skipping modules configuration. [22:11] soo.... [22:11] ? [22:11] willystylee: why ? Linux works difference from Windows and Solaris, so checking the support is quite important [22:11] ActionParsnip: sorry my fault it's there (typo) [22:12] isnt there some sorta workaround?? [22:12] willystylee: ???? you don't even know if it's supported, what are you trying to work around [22:12] mickster04: i finished but there was no driver for the device [22:12] yeah [22:12] i'va had that issue before :/ [22:13] gbear14275: Do you see wlan0 iface in the output of iwconfig? [22:13] well thanks for not helping [22:13] Datz: no worries dude [22:13] ikonia: I thought nouveau had acceleration working for some cards. Is it not in ubuntu yet? [22:13] soreau: it depends on the cards, and certainly not over multiple monitors [22:13] drat :( its never over heated [22:14] soreau, yes [22:14] ikonia: You mean multiple cards? [22:14] GeekMan: well i am out :p [22:14] but as a pc user its doesnt fell right to have a fan that doesnt sound liek its working [22:14] gbear14275: Does 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid' show AP's? [22:14] soreau: he wanted to span 3 monitors across two physical video cards [22:14] FAIL :( [22:14] thanks though [22:14] ActionParsnip: something like this: -> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa ? [22:15] ikonia: Right, but are you saying not even multiple outputs work for just one card with nouveau? [22:15] soreau, wlan0 No scan results <-- there are at least 5 local networks (apartment building) [22:16] gbear14275: hmm.. is the interface up? ifconfig wlan0 up [22:16] soreau: you'll get multiple outputs on one card, sure [22:16] ikonia: Oh ok. I misunderstood what you said then [22:16] soreau, yeah its up [22:16] soreau: no, I said it's not going to happen on 2 cards acting as one [22:16] soreau: as in 2 physical cards [22:17] ActionParsnip: gpg: key 5ADC2037: public key "Launchpad PPA for Clamav Update Team" imported

[22:20] gbear14275: Is this maverick? [22:20] Datz: indeed, thats you adding the ppa [22:20] soreau, 10.10 [22:21] ActionParsnip: Datz: What additional does the clamav ppa provide? [22:22] soreau: later definitions and engine version than the official repos [22:23] ActionParsnip: ok thanks [22:23] ActionParsnip: thanks. defs are updated it says, not sure how to add a newer engine though [22:24] soreau: I'm guessing updated virus database [22:24] Datz: I thought it downloaded the database from a server separately [22:25] Datz: its all in the updates from the PPA [22:25] ActionParsnip: I see [22:25] ciao a tutti [22:26] !it | Zaulx_I [22:26] Zaulx_I: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[22:31] soreau, got iw installed, no value returned [22:32] how would I import the kernel driver from previous releases into this one? [22:32] hello I have an iso file i dont have DVD/Cd burner right now, How can i mount those files on Lucid? [22:32] is it possible [22:32] gbear14275: It might be a driver issue then. Look for any interesting messages in syslog or the output of dmesg [22:32] gbear14275: It was working before? Then you need to file a bug [22:32] without burning on DVD/CD is it possible to load iso file on Lucid [22:32] induz: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/your.iso /mnt [22:33] induz: mount -o loop /what/maco/said [22:33] maco, no need to specify the filesystem type [22:33] mount can detect it automatically [22:33] Nisstyre: usually yes, but ive had it fail at that with isos, so i do it to be safe [22:33] what is the final command to mount iso [22:33] soreau, it worked with LM9 (which is based on 10.04) also doesn't work with lm10... [22:33] is there any GUI for that? [22:33] Nisstyre: granted, that was a few years ago, but now its habit [22:34] induz: no, no gui. there should be. hrmph. i should take that as a papercut next release cycle [22:34] induz: the thing i said will work [22:34] what would it mean when viewing remote ftp folders in nautilus : the permissions of 'folder name' cant be determined ? [22:34] maco: papercut? [22:34] maco, what is -t there? [22:34] induz, I doubt it, because that would be a waste. Normally stuff gets mounted automatically because it's put under /dev and programs like nautilus mount them for you. [22:34] soreau, how can I look through the syslog and dmesg? on xubuntu... log viewer doesn't seem to be installed [22:34] but with isos you have to do it manually [22:34] Datz: that's what I have [22:35] gbear14275: cat /var/log/syslog && dmesg [22:35] ActionParsnip: great thanks. (says it is outdated so I was wondering) [22:35] induz: it tells it the filesystem type. iso9660 is what cds are. it shouldnt be necessary to include that bit, but it also won't hurt anything [22:36] soreau: the Hundred Papercuts project is a project to fix small usability things that make using Ubuntu just a little less pleasant [22:36] maco: Ah ok [22:36] Nisstyre: well what im talking about writing a patch for is to have "right click -> Use as CD" in Nautilus and Dolphin [22:36] Nisstyre: only for .iso files [22:36] maco, that might be ok [22:36] it shouldnt be *too* hard [22:36] what about .img files? [22:37] harder to be sure of what's inside... so id start with just iso [22:37] Datz: the clamav ppa gets updated more regularly than the ubuntu ones [22:37] Nisstyre: acetoneiso can mount img [22:38] Datz: the ppa is where Scott puts super-new releases of ClamAV to be tested before they move into ubuntu a few days (or a week-ish?) later [22:38] soreau, wow... um, its been printing to screen for 2 min now [22:38] maco, i used sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/your.iso /mnt but its just giving me details about commands [22:38] induz: did you change /path/to/your.iso to actually be the path to your iso? [22:38] induz, make sure you use the actual full path to where the iso file is [22:38] my iso file is on /home/user/Desktop/file.iso [22:39] i did this;sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/myName/Desktop /mnt [22:39] induz: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /home/user/Desktop/file.iso /media/iso [22:40] induz: Desktop is the folder. you need the actual iso [22:40] hows everyone doing [22:41] soreau, I'm seeing lots of ieee80211 messages [22:41] * ActionParsnip likes a /media/iso mount point :) [22:41] ActionParsnip: i tend to just mount right on /media/cdrom -- it makes media players happy [22:41] yeah, putting CDs under /mnt makes no sense [22:41] I use /mnt for network stuff [22:41] ActionParsnip: but i think that mountpoint only exists by default if you do have a physical one, so... figured i wouldnt assume it was there [22:42] maco: tru, although most can play ISOs as-is [22:42] ActionParsnip: O_o [22:42] maco: vlc can [22:42] vlc isnt most! [22:42] gbear14275: I'm not sure about your chipset but you might try googling. You're probably not the only one with this problem [22:42] ActionParsnip, what about mplayer? [22:42] it's one thing! [22:42] I assume it can if vlc can [22:42] Good night folks.. [22:43] soreau, there is suprisingly little in the last year... [22:43] FireFox Speed dial plugin does not save tab-bookmarks. after Firefox reset all the SD bookmarks dissapear. [22:43] soreau, it would be alot easier too if the broken laptop had an alternative to just wireless card [22:44] and default session manager does not work correctly [22:44] Nisstyre: most likely, mplayer is the daddy :) [22:44] thats it...

[23:01] induz: well tell him he should be using just .doc [23:01] computer_: yes [23:01] computer_: It's not installed by default, you'll have to apt-get it. [23:01] whole of school uses that MS office he says [23:02] induz: yeah he can save in .doc [23:02] Kyle__ so im suppose to figure out how to use a commnand line virus scanner now ? :S :P [23:02] induz: Sorry. I know how it is. Same at my uni. [23:02] i have to go the library to get those files done [23:02] induz: try google docs maybe? [23:02] computer_: Its easy. Just apt-get install clamav && clamav --help [23:02] computer_: It's really damn easy though, once you read the man page. If you want a gui, check out avg's site for their free linux one. [23:02] Kyle__: Ahh opkay [23:02] he saves on .doc and sends me, when i work on them on OO and send them to him all bullets get messed up [23:03] or fdfew words get chopped off [23:03] induz: though you should speak to your professor about it. Maybe he can export as pdf? He might not know that he can actually do that [23:03] soreau, yes thank you I will do that [23:03] induz: no they don't not in the latest ooo [23:03] induz: What format are you saving in? [23:03] computer_: see also ClamAV FAQ [23:03] Hi, Quick question , im trying to create a raid 5 array on 3 disk but its all fine until i reboot then my drives notation changes. I mount the raid using the UUID but the raid itself is created of /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 etc. Anyone have a permannant way to have the sata deteded on the same device name every time? [23:03] induz: also OOo can read .docx anyway [23:03] computer_: see also http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/support/faq/ [23:03] induz: a massive percentage of word processing docs can be saved as RTF with no ill effect on formatting, style, or features [23:03] induz: You may be saving it to a different version of word's format than he's using, and that could confuse the _hell_ out of word sometimes. [23:03] lunch bbiab [23:05] I save on .doc on OO but when i open the same doc file on MS word in school, the starting letters get chopped off caz of bullet effect on them [23:05] PIERWSZY !

[23:06] doc version for 2003 [23:06] okey [23:06] induz: Then try saving it old, open it in OO (make sure it's OK), then send it to him. You may have better luck that way? [23:06] mickster04, now its asking to run. install, remove, configure or close what should i do with PlayOnlinux [23:07] Kyle__, thansk for suggestion , i will do it [23:08] airsnort package not exists? [23:09] andai: don't think so, try aircrack-ng [23:10] ty [23:10] so quiet here, amazing [23:10] usually a page per minute :D [23:10] yea, it just slowed (oddly enough just as I cleared my scrollback text) [23:12] anyone have a way to make the sata detection static for use in linux raid? === Inumedia_ is now known as Inumedia [23:12] Dj-Toast: You can list your drives by UUID instead of sd [23:13] Hi, I had the OTRS ticket tracking system installed to try it out. I decided I didn't like it and wanted to go back to Request Tracker. I installed it, but I cannot get the Apache2 server to start. It is telling me "invalid user: otrs" and I cannot find the configuration where it is still trying to use OTRS settings. I've tried removing & reinstalling the apache2 packages [23:13] Kyle_ : i searched for creating raid with UUID but I couldnt find anything. Do you think doing mdadm --create..... /dev/UUIDs would work? [23:14] Dj-Toast: I think /dev/disk/by-id/ [23:14] Dj-Toast: ls /dev/disk/by-id/ [23:14] :) [23:14] random question, anyone know command to open multiple ie tabs using vbacript? work sucks and uses winblows [23:14] *vbscript [23:15] Kyle__: Ok i guess ill drop my array and recreate using those instead. Just sucks i was planning to use WEBMIN to manage the raid :( === jibun is now known as jibun_ [23:15] AndroUser2: I (used to) know how to do it in waitr, and that just wraps com in ruby, so should be easy enough... [23:15] hello, can someone direct me to someone who knows the graphics issues very well? [23:15] Dj-Toast: Ah. Sorry. [23:15] Skyblayde, it might be best to describe the issue for everyone [23:16] I'll try this... I installed OTRS manually downloading the source, not via the package manager. Is there a way to find the name of the package I installed manually so I may purge it? [23:16] AndroUser2: Ruby-watir is actually prety easy...maybe you could find an example and port it to vbscript (I recall this being pretty easy, but it was 3+ years ago) [23:16] coffeerage, did you keep the source package? [23:16] !winblows | AndroUser2 [23:16] AndroUser2: Please don't use silly misspellings to denigrate other operating systems. It makes users of that system feel attacked, and hurts Ubuntu advocacy by making the community look unreasonable.

[23:16] coffeerage: Some nicely written packages have an uninstall target in make, Try going into the source and trying make uninstall [23:17] I have installed not only the Ubuntu Propriet drivers for my NVIDIA geforce 460 card, but also tried purging them and installing the latest drivers from nvidia's site. Both with no luck in correcting this extremely low resolution rate in which i am experiencing now, on my 1920x1080 DVI-D Flatscreen Monitor [23:17] ubottu: you tell him for denegrating win311 like that.

[23:17] the resolution is 75 x 75 [23:17] coffeerage, mm ok well a crap way of doing this is to reinstall via thesource and then in the source folder sudo make uninstall [23:17] the highest i can get it to is, at 680x [23:17] coffeerage, other wise you may have to manually search and delete the directories [23:17] lol at coffeerage, funny nick [23:18] coz_, gotcha. I just extracted again, went into directory and tried sudo make uninstall. Gave me "no rule to make target 'uninstall'". Is this because I haven't configured it etc.? [23:18] I have installed not only the Ubuntu Propriet drivers for my NVIDIA geforce 460 card, but also tried purging them and installing the latest drivers from nvidia's site.

[23:19] it is strange being stuck in extremely low resolution [23:20] I've got some files with unicode character file names (Russian to be exact), but they show up as question marks in bash.

A holdover from the old DOS days.\ [23:23] Kyle__: I notice I can create extended partitions as well. What is an extended partition? [23:23] LS1: same problem :) [23:23] Its the graphics card I think [23:24] Ziber: It's a partition you can make logical partitions in. [23:24] doesnt work on windows either for intel graphics [23:24] Hm. [23:24] functor, I am using an ATI Radeon HD card =) [23:24] and mounting them like /dev/hdb1p1? [23:24] I dunno then [23:24] Ziber: If the limmit of 4 is troublesome to you, you may want to consider using LVM.
