[00:00] carlos82, then it will show once you update [00:00] hi. I have a problem with my vncserver. i found a config what i have copyed to /etc/init.d/vncserver. Then i typed update-rc.d vncserver defaults. When i run from terminal /etc/init.d/vncserver start, than everything works fine. I can connect to server, i can start programs, etc... But when i reboot, and the server starts automatically, then when i connect to the server i can't start programs or anyting. So what can be the problem ? [00:00] jsw_: that tells the fs driver it can discard/trim; the formatting apps work with raw storage and wont [00:00] bazhang: how can i do that? [00:00] How do I force changes to inetd.conf to take effect without rebooting? [00:00] ohsix: Do you mind to explain why? My understanding was the SSD controller won't know that blocks have been free'd unless the OS advises it of that [00:00] itaylor57: i guess [00:00] JeffCBR: restart the inetd daemon [00:00] bazhang: can you show me the your sources.list file? [00:01] so you're saying that discard is helpful with the running filesystem, but when I do mkfs (again) I won't have to do anything special to make sure it frees the currently allocated blocks? [00:01] jsw_: because you don't gain mych from it; especially when you're just going to immediately overwrite a lot of it [00:01] carlos82, they are all set to maverick currently. no need to manually configure them [00:02] brontosaurusrex, is that gerlitzen video is edited on kdenlive?/ [00:02] http://bux4ad.com/_2ba3a196.htm [00:02] bazhang: but the update-manager dont show me anything about upgrade !!! [00:03] induz_, :) nope, i think the friend shoot that with some phone and trimmed with adobe [00:03] erUSUL: Is it called something other than inetd? [00:03] carlos82, close synaptic [00:04] Does anyone use GnomeDo? [00:04] carlos82, then alt f2 update-manager -c [00:04] bazhang: ok... synaptic closed [00:04] bazhang: running command [00:04] (I'm on a productivity binge :p) [00:04] AegisX, i did, now replaced with kupfer [00:04] JeffCBR: xinietd? but xinetd has other conf file/dir === iConfused|2 is now known as iConfused [00:04] brontosaurusrex: How do you find them? [00:04] !anyone | AegisX [00:04] AegisX: 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? [00:05] ActionParsnip: Good point haha [00:05] ActionParsnip: Will keep it in mind. [00:05] bazhang: the "-c" options actually put the update-manager to work [00:05] bazhang: this show me the upgrade option now [00:05] Doxfixit: try typing "locate libhal.so.1" in a terminal [00:05] carlos82, thats good then [00:05] bazhang: thanks a lot !!! [00:06] AegisX, ? they have shortcuts to show up on a good day, kupfer has a bad day today i notice.... [00:06] thanks community !!! [00:06] hi. I have a problem with my vncserver. i found a config what i have copyed to /etc/init.d/vncserver. Then i typed update-rc.d vncserver defaults. When i run from terminal /etc/init.d/vncserver start, than everything works fine. I can connect to server, i can start programs, etc... But when i reboot, and the server starts automatically, then when i connect to the server i can't start programs or anyting. So what can be the problem ? [00:06] good bye [00:06] Chipzzz, I get a command prompt with no errors. [00:06] brontosaurusrex: I mean to say, do you find them useful? [00:07] hey! i need to configure the wireless device on my dell mini 10. can anyone help me? [00:07] then it is missing... [00:07] I used to enjoy watching the buffered flash videos from the tmp dir....now they are no longer there...where have they been moved too [00:07] brontosaurusrex, that lightworks is for windows [00:07] cbacelar, whats the chipset; lspci in terminal to paste.ubuntu.com [00:07] erUSUL: Ok, maybe this question is below this channel, but does Ubuntu use inetd.conf? [00:08] induz_ forget it, ok, i dont feel like explaining again [00:08] Chipzzz, I'm running on a usb thumbdrive. Does Ubuntu know to write all changes to the persistant partition? [00:08] Docfixit: type "apt-get install --reinstall libhal1" [00:08] ugliefrog: what browser were you using? i don't know of one that puts them there :O [00:09] Docfixit: sorry... type "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libhal1" [00:09] AegisX, i think a person actually needs a 3 way navigation: a. menus with sections like internet/xchat, b. some sort of nice looking buttons (think launcy) c. kupfer [00:09] for ssh keys how come u put ur public key onto the server? why dont you get the server's public key to keep on your machine? [00:09] ohsix, Im using chrome [00:09] AegisX, then you can extend kupfer with tracker if you have resources [00:09] brontosaurusrex: Good answer haha. I'll give them both a look. [00:10] AegisX, or use termianl or somethink like catfish [00:10] *terminal [00:10] ugliefrog: They're still stored in /tmp, sort of. They are unlinked immediately after being created. This script will "undelete" the flv files: http://pastebin.com/W7jGmM4r [00:10] Chipzzz, It said 1 newly installed. [00:10] brontosaurusrex: Gotcha. [00:10] Docfixit: it should run now [00:10] ugliefrog: well it sounds like they changed the behaviour of the browser, you'll have to talk to them [00:11] ohsix, :) === ShadyShower is now known as Shaded [00:11] Another thing; is it possible to hide the connected/quit messages on xchat? [00:11] AegisX: yes [00:11] I've checked the settings; can't seem to find it. [00:11] azizLIGHTS: You'll have to read about how public-key cryptography works to really understand, but the short answer is that the "public" key is what is used to verify that the other party really has posession of its matching "private" key. And you do actually get the ssh server's public key on your machine in .ssh/known_hosts so you know the server is not being "spoofed" :) [00:11] Docfixit: I would assume the changes will be persistant on the thumb drive [00:12] bazhang http://paste.ubuntu.com/569404 [00:12] i cant boot ubuntu 10.04 32 bit. a message appears: ubuntu is running in low graph mode, it never boots GUI. ctrl+alt+F7 brings tht modprobe vboxfailed [00:12] drc: How would I go about it?

I don't know if any of the addresses were assigned to the machine. ifconfig shows the block, but I can't use ping6 outside of ::1.

But when i reboot, and the server starts automatically, then when i connect to the server i can't start programs or anyting. So what can be the problem ? [00:27] Docfxit: (precede the full path with gksudo, of course) [00:27] i'm re-installing ubuntu because i've done something wrong with grep [00:28] if could be possible fix it...

Same thing for Seamonkey? [00:30] I'm trying to understand my new Ubuntu system and having some trouble. I understand that, in Linux, /etc/inetd.conf will start things when the machine boots up, and that there is a way force it to be reexecuted without rebooting, but I can seem to find anything consistent. [00:30] n2diy, log out and back in again [00:31] Anybody here have the default my.cnf file for MySQL on 10.04? [00:31] JeffCBR: No, inetd is for configuring services to start on demand. [00:31] Or know where to find it? [00:31] I see. [00:31] JeffCBR: What is your end goal? [00:31] StepNjump: sweet [00:31] mikeliss, it should be a hidden file in /home [00:31] StepNjump: you can cron the command to scan so if the system is on it will scan regularly [00:31] Okay, http://library.gnome.org/users/cpufreq-applet/stable/cpufreq-applet-prefs.html.en Doesn't tell me... I want more options on scaling my CPU, right now it only gives me 25 50 and 100% === Dad_ is now known as Guest20964 [00:32] what do i need installed on my ubuntu server to use putty to remotely connect?

[00:33] i need the openssh package on ubuntu correct and if im using a windows machine to log on i can use putty right> [00:33] Jordan_U: To learn to operate my system better. I had talkd enabled in inetd.conf and now I've commented it out, so I want to force the changes without rebooting. [00:33] ? [00:33] After install openssh, you can connect with: ssh user@host [00:33] uRock: chances are that doesn't really matter & doesnt answer his question anyways [00:33] uRock, Nope, don't see it there. [00:33] or the boot loader, whatever the name... [00:33] mufasis: u want this? http://www.blindhog.net/linux-ssh-passwordless-login-with-putty/ [00:33] mufasis: openssh-server package [00:33] uRock: Were you suggesting another SSH client? I use PuTTY on Windows. [00:34] vale_: What needs fixing about grep? [00:34] Docfxit: I'm out of ideas, but here's a link to the doublecmd forum... maybe there's some help there: http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=5 [00:34] JeffCBR, this isn't a WIndows channel [00:34] JeffCBR, he/she didn't say they were on WIndows [00:34] vale_: grub [00:34] Jordan_U: when i turn on pc, it simply gets on loop and reboot over and over [00:35] How do I configure gnome, so that it starts in compiz mode instead of me starting it every time, when I load gnome? I don't want to start it after gnome loads by some means, but I need the gnome to load already with compiz. [00:35] uRock: You're right. I shouldn't have assumed that. [00:35] vale_: What do you see when you boot? [00:35] mufasis: Are you trying to connect from Windows? [00:35] nah assume as you will, my assumption may had been wrong [00:35] nothing, just the first bios screen [00:35] jenia: open the appearance applet in system -> preferences, set it to extra or custom [00:36] you know, that one with company name [00:36] vale, that is not "nothing" ;/ [00:36] Chipzzz, Thank you very much for all your help. === wl_deav_ is now known as wl_deav [00:36] vale_: what else don't you see :) [00:36] ohsix, says all of my advice is wrong anyway, so I'll just sit back and shut up [00:36] What do I add to /etc/network/interfaces to use my IPv6 address? [00:36] ohsix: I have to do it every time I reboot, what config do I need to change, so it stays. [00:36] actionparsnip: what is the verbose on that? because I tried man clamav. No manual entry for clamav [00:36] just that screen, and then pc reboot over and over [00:36] uRock: You were assuming he ask what ssh client in Ubuntu to use? [00:37] jenia: exactly what i just said [00:37] yeah sorry guys im using windows to connect [00:37] vale_: hold down the shift key - you should get a grub menu [00:37] just wanted to make sure i need openssh server on the ubuntu [00:37] Evolution -- not prompting for pgp pass phrase upon receipt of encrypted email. Any hints? [00:37] so, if i could fix grub it would be great [00:37] Drfxit: are you still here? [00:37] mufasis: You do. It's not installed by default on the Desktop version. [00:37] ohsix: Exactly what you just said, I have to do every time I reboot, what config file do I need to change, so it stays. [00:38] CarlFK: sorry, do you mean the second key from left bottom? [00:38] StepNjump: man clamscan [00:38] vale_: in think so - the one that makes a an A [00:38] Docfxit: if you are still here, I found this, which might help: http://ubuntu.se/archive/index.php/t-14899.html?s=edd5884cb0c89b448ad2bd9807bf1b87 [00:38] oh!!! [00:38] CarlFK: lol, got it XD [00:39] vale_: if yoe are able to press esc and see grub configuration have a lokk there ... with a install cd you boot an installed system [00:39] JeffCBR: when did they start doing that? [00:39] StepNjump: remember to run: sudo freshclam first. adding the clam av ppa will give you newer defs and engine [00:39] i'll get it a try [00:39] give me 5 min [00:39] later! [00:39] g luck [00:39] Are any of my messages visible? [00:39] actionparsnip ahaha these *nix guys are funny... freshclam! lol [00:39] tnx! [00:40] overclucker: Sorry, doing what? [00:40] r000t: yep [00:40] OK.... so I assume nobody here knows how to configure IPv6 [00:40] JeffCBR: you mentioned that ubuntu desktop includes openssh-server by default now [00:40] r000t: quite posible. [00:40] StepNjump: makes sense :) [00:40] overclucker: No, I said it doesn't. At least I tried to. [00:41] Does Ubuntu prefer GNU/Linux? [00:41] Or just Linux? [00:41] actionparsnip: Makes me hungry though! [00:41] os11, they're the same [00:41] os11: err wut? [00:41] StepNjump: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-clamav/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade; sudo freshclam [00:41] JeffCBR: ah, never mind, i missread what you said [00:42] os11: gnu/linux means linux kernel + gnu tools ... so almost every distri is gnu linux [00:42] Yeah but it's not like all GNU tools are LINKED. [00:43] They are only LOOSELY linked by the same LICENSE, no? [00:43] That's like saying Creative Commons is an OS! [00:43] actionparsnip: Thanks! I'm ddoing it now. How do you know all these commands? [00:44] Usually, when people say Linux they are referring to GNU/Linux. [00:44] oh boy, this again :D [00:44] take that s..t elsewhere please [00:44] os11: dems fightin' werds [00:44] os11: ubuntu uses "Ubuntu" as their trademarked identity [00:45] Okay, really, I have googled this to death http://paste.ubuntu.com/569398/ Doesn't line 26 power management: ts ttp tm stc 100mhzsteps hwpstate [00:45] mean that I should be able to change my processor speeds in 100mhz steps?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [00:46] !ot [00:46] os11: this is offtopic, you should probably argue somewhere else, canonical might have a position statement on that, but i haven't seen it and i don't represent them [00:46] i've also tried "boot from first HD" from a live usb, but nothing happened too [00:46] What config file do I need to change, so that gnome starts with compiz instead of metacity. When I enable special effects it reverts back to metacity as soon as I reboot. I don't want to start it from within gnome after it loads by some gnome application autostart or compiz-fusion-icon, because it's suboptimal, since it switches to compiz after metacity loads. I want it to load directly into... [00:46] ...compiz. It used to work before. I did something a while ago and can't figure out how to change it back. [00:46] just another quick question, i have two packages in the form of .deb files that i need to install, they are already on my server, how do i install them with all their dependencies etc?

This stuff is great. I don't have much of a photographic memory unfortunately [00:49] ohsix: I dunno, I kind of like mint [00:49] CarlFK: any idea? [00:49] mufasis, that will just ignore dependencies, not INSTALL them [00:50] Lint01, you should learn to type first! [00:50] vale_: what happened to break things?

[00:53] but just a moment before all worked perfectly, and a moment after all went wrong [00:53] actionparsnip: yeah but for a newbie... it's not easy even with the man pages. Often times it doesn't work. Either I don't use the right switch or something else goes wrong. I will get used to it!

[00:55] thank you [00:55] ActionParsnip, turned out i did but i did not put it there, i removed it.

[00:57] CarlFK: so, i think fix grub is the easier way [00:57] isn't it? [00:57] hilarie: My CPU speed also only scales to those clock rates. I don't see why this is a big problem. [00:57] vale_: if it was, you would have done it by now. if the installer can't install it, I have no idea how either [00:57] Jsw_ My laptop overheats at 100%, but stays quite cool at 50%, would like to tweak in-between, [00:57] I have the AMD Athlon II X6. No clue if this is a CPU-specific thing but perhaps that will help you [00:58] how do you make small adjustments in alsamixer (it goes from 0-50, then 50-100... how would i set it at say, 35, or 65 [00:58] hilarie: set the thermal trip point properly [00:58] vale_: what happens when you try to install ?

[01:00] hilarie: yea, sometimes its not set right from the bios, but you can set it to an appropriate temperature and force it to throttle when it hits it [01:00] vale_: Is it the step where you select your username and password? [01:00] i don't know, how can i see it? [01:00] Senjai: "Welcome to linux" (or is it GNU/linux?) LOL [01:00] JeffCBR: no, the timezone step [01:00] itaylor57, whatever, lol [01:00] ohsix, I don't want to throttle my processor due to heat, ubuntu handles that wonderfully, kicking me down to 25% if I stay at 100% for to long. [01:01] What I want to do, is see if I can run at 60% without dropping down to 25, then possible 65 [01:01] etc [01:01] vale_: boot from live cd, system, admin, disk manager [01:01] i've also tried ultilex without success [01:01] jeffcbr - update-inetd [01:01] CarlFK: ok [01:02] CarlFK: actually, i'm typing from that pc [01:02] hilarie: if it is dropping down to lower cpu speeds then theres probably nothing to do; and increasing them would only waste power [01:02] with a live distro on usb [01:02] ohsix, its dropping down due to heat reasons... [01:03] whats a good free x rated site?? [01:03] disk is an ATA samsung etc... [01:03] port 1 of SATA host adapter [01:03] !ot henry952 [01:03] vale_: so just one disk?

[01:07] iirc?? [01:07] vale_: try the alternate install. if it hangs on looking at your disk, hit Alt-F4 which shows a log so you can see what it is stuck on. that should help figure out what needs to be done. or it will work, and thats good too [01:07] when i play movies i get a flickering pink line at the bottom? [01:07] mycosys: I read the man page. The problem I believe lies in the fact that there is no inetd process.

[01:08] Niglop: does it happen in all players [01:08] yes [01:08] I downloaded ubuntu kernel Image and I mount it but there is no bash!

[01:33] Jgilk1: run: sudo lshw -C network you will see the wireless chip and you can find guides using that [01:33] http://pastie.org/1584165 there's my output of free -m [01:33] ohsix: ok well this is obviously something different though [01:33] because my system becomes noticably laggy [01:33] like just expanding folders in nautilus is really laggy and slow [01:34] actionparsnip how do i run that? [01:34] schock: good stuff [01:34] abstrakt: post the output of smem, it can be a lot of things other than memory [01:34] What config file do I need to change, so that gnome starts with compiz instead of metacity. When I enable special effects it reverts back to metacity as soon as I reboot. I don't want to start compiz from within gnome after it loads by application autostart or compiz-fusion-icon, because it switches to compiz after metacity loads. I want gnome to load directly into compiz. It used to work... [01:34] hi [01:34] ...before. I did something a while ago that it stopped working and can't figure out how to change it back. === leonardo is now known as Guest25570 [01:34] why the hell would they remove aptitude from the default install???????? [01:34] mycosys: it is huge [01:35] is does much better dependancy resolution than apt [01:35] and default install = livecd image [01:35] Jgilk1: in a terminal, press CTRL+ALT+T [01:35] mycosys: because apt-get does the job is my guess [01:35] hiiiiiiiiiiiii [01:35] hello [01:35] not if there r dep issues it doesnt lol [01:35] ^ [01:35] hola [01:35] >:D< [01:35] mycosys: no it doesn't at all, aptitude has a curses gui if you want. Both satisfy deps === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [01:35] !ask > timewriter [01:35] timewriter, please see my private message [01:35] mycosys: I have NEVER used aptitude and had zero issues [01:36] ? [01:36] timewriter, support question? [01:36] how to kill id [01:36] argh. now i have to install the nvidia driver [01:36] oh , yes [01:36] ActionParsnip: aptitude tells you all possible dependency resolutions and you can pick among them [01:36] can you help me build a cage for my dog [01:36] pls [01:36] twitch, it now says i have two broken packages in my system i need to remove them [01:36] ohsix: that's not "better dep resolution" though is it? [01:36] timewriter, take silliness to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:36] I need help configuring IPv6 on my VPS. The v6 block I was assigned, according to my setup email, is 2001:4830:131:a000::/64, but the v6 address under inet6 in ifconfig is fe80::250:56ff:fe98:8/64. How do I configure it so I can at least use ping6 without getting an error? [01:36] how do i switch to run level 3? [01:37] ohsix: that's "optional deps control" [01:37] ok , join pls [01:37] ohsix: I don't have smem [01:37] ActionPARSNIP - apt will tel you about issues - aptitude will attempt to resolve them [01:37] what package is that in? [01:37] ActionParsnip: it is if you want to look at the other esolutions instead of the first one just being applied [01:37] chrislu5tic: sudo apt-get remove packagename [01:37] hilarie@ebilKitty:~$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ?/trip_points /// cat: /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ?/trip_points: No such file or directory Does that mean I can't have trip points, or it they arent set up? [01:37] stupid linux mint wont boot after update [01:37] i dont know whatthe package names are [01:37] lol [01:37] r000t: The fe80:: address you see configured on your interface is called a "link-local" address, and is like 169.254.0.0/16 addresses. You need to add the address(es) they allocated you and also configure a default route to whatever gateway you were given [01:37] "bases on ubuntu" [01:37] timewriter, ask in mintsupport NOT here [01:37] !mintsupport | timewriter [01:37] timewriter: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [01:37] jsw_ so I add the fe80 as gateway in /etc/network/interfaces [01:37] i dont know he namnes.. butit says i can use the "broken filter" to find them [01:38] mycosys: then i suggest you contact the ubuntu team whom i'm sure know their stuff, to say they should switch it around [01:38] i dont need mint support , i used ubcd and zerofilled the drive === kaie is now known as Guest55901 [01:38] ha [01:38] r000t: What did they tell you the gateway address is, in your setup email? [01:38] They didn't. [01:38] well, they may have SLAC or router discovery enabled [01:38] but i have no idea how to use he broken filter [01:38] is canonical ur religion or something actionparsnip? [01:38] So how do I take advantage of that? [01:38] ok i downloaded this proprietary NVIDIA driver direct from nvidia. where do i put it? [01:39] run it schlock [01:39] mycosys, are you chinese ? [01:39] mycosys: with sh drivername? [01:39] WOO [01:39] hi, does anyone know how to specify a user when tunnelling over ssh with vinagire (VNC remote desktop). i.e. my user is "james" on this machine, but I want to tunnel as "bob" on the remote? [01:39] schock: yes [01:39] no timewriter [01:39] oh , australia [01:39] sorry [01:39] error, please exit x before installing [01:40] so exit x [01:40] mycosys: lol [01:40] I'm trying to install ubuntu on someone's laptop. I'm at the "who are you?" part, but the foward button is dimmed out. The status says "ready when you are..." what do I do now? [01:40] mycosys :/ thx [01:40] press next [01:40] drpi: Make sure that your username doesn't contain any capital letters. [01:40] alrighty, next problem. how so i intertupt dd? [01:40] mycosys: if some very experienced people think aptitude should be removed from the default, I'm sure they know more about the OS than you or I. It's optional so you can install it. Where is the issue? [01:41] Firefox won't start, I did killall Firefox, and deleted all the lock and parent lock files, and it still won't start. I also logged out, and restarted, ideas? [01:41] can someone tell me the command to output a list of file permissions numerically [01:41] i am sure there were reasons - i am just surprised [01:41] What config file do I need to change, so that gnome starts with compiz instead of metacity. [01:41] n2diy: are you out of disk space? [01:41] chrislu5tic: maybe System>Admin>Synaptic>Settings>FIlters>Broken ? [01:41] thanks twitch i have figured it out\ [01:41] Jordan_U: Oh thanks lol [01:41] DRC [01:41] yes that was it [01:42] thanks [01:42] !ccsm | jenia [01:42] jenia: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' or 'simple-ccsm'. If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [01:42] drpi: You're welcome. [01:42] chrislu5tic: hope it works [01:42] mycosys: that's fine :) [01:42] it did work thanks [01:42] gartral|cr48, no, plenty of disk space, this is a new install. [01:42] n2diy: Can you pastebin the output of "firefox" from a terminal?> [01:42] i have to go [01:42] is anybody on here familiar with dbus? [01:42] bye [01:42] n2diy: 10.10 [01:42] damn sandbox game designing software screwed me up [01:42] i would have got rid of eye candy before that myself [01:42] r000t: I believe you can do this to enable honoring of router advertisements echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/accept_ra [01:43] how can I disable compiz [01:43] ie: can i configure dbus to run scripts as my user based on events, or do i have to have my own daemon that listens to dbus messages? [01:43] abountu: metacity --replace [01:43] gartral|cr48, yes. [01:43] abountu: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace [01:43] what desktop abountu [01:43] Then configure some IPs on your interface, following the directions here, and ... see if anything works. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPv6 [01:43] Jordan_U, No need to, Command not found. [01:43] mycosys: good point [01:43] twitch, I already have it installed. When I enable special effects it reverts back to metacity as soon as I reboot. I don't want to start compiz from within gnome after it loads by application autostart or compiz-fusion-icon, because it switches to compiz after metacity loads. I want gnome to load directly into compiz. It used to work before. I did something a while ago that it stopped... [01:43] ...working and can't figure out how to change it back. [01:43] Jordan_U: I think i already know the problem, I had an issue wher ff went into a waiting loop... the quickest fix is a purge/install [01:43] myconsys gnome [01:43] ElementTree doesn't seem to be installed and I can't see it in apt-cache - any ideas how to install it on 10.10? [01:44] n2diy: That might be part of the problem :) [01:44] n2diy: Is the firefox package installed? [01:44] Jordan_U, yes, I guess I need to re-install Firefox, even though this is a brand new install? [01:44] So I opened nautilus as gksudo, and I am looking for the directory /proc/acpi/fan but I can't find /proc/ where would it be? [01:44] ActionParsnip, I [01:45] n2diy: are you familiar with Terminal? you should apt-get purge then apt-get install firefox [01:45] ooops [01:45] hilarie: use the up arrow on the app, or press CTRL+L and you can type the path [01:45] jsw_ every time I make changes to the /etc/network/interfaces I must reboot the system to make my changes stick. I'd use ifup ifdown but once I use ifdown I'd have no way to get into the machine. Is there a better way to do this, like ifrestart? [01:45] BluesKaj: howdy \o [01:45] r000t: just restart the networking service and it will apply [01:45] Control L! ty [01:45] ActionParsnip: what command is that? [01:45] r000t: at now+1minute :] [01:45] gartral|cr48, yep, Seamonkey is doing the exact same thing, weird. [01:45] r000t: sudo service networking restart [01:45] jenia: compiz --replace in console [01:45] r000t: sudo service networking restart [01:46] n2diy: also, I recommend the pre-built FF4 tar from mozilla [01:46] r000t: if you set a different IP you will be disconnected (obviously) [01:46] I'm connecting with IPv4, trying to setup v6 [01:46] gartral|cr48: not the mozilla ppa? [01:46] twitch: should i install 32-bit openGL libraries for nvidia driver? i'm on 64bit 10.10 [01:46] Since it is a VPS he can probably access its "console" though so that isn't a total disaster :) [01:46] does that matter [01:47] ActionParsnip: that too.. but I use multiple distros, I need too get out of habbit of recommending prebuilts... [01:47] schock: not really no [01:47] twitch: thanks [01:47] twitch, as I said, I don't want to start compiz from within gnome after it loads by application autostart or compiz-fusion-icon, or compiz --replace, because it switches to compiz after metacity loads. I want gnome to load directly into compiz. It used to work before. I did something a while ago that it stopped working and can't figure out how to change it back. [01:47] schock: did u download the x64 or x86 nvidia? [01:47] gartral|cr48: i guess, makes life easier to remove etc, although running upgrade with the ppa enabled will upgrade the non 4.0 to minefield, or whatev er its called [01:48] ActionParsnip: Restart: unknown interface [01:48] ActionParsnip, I'm having difficulty with eth0 not connecting with a static IP in network/interfaces..works fine if I substitute dhcp in the "iface eth0 inet ...." line...any suggestions? [01:48] twitch, I want to know the config file where I can change metacity to compiz manually [01:48] instance*\ [01:48] r000t: bad interfaces file then [01:48] twitch: x86 [01:48] BluesKaj: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ [01:48] Hi. Have a little audio problem, hoping for help. [01:48] so, slow slow rebooting is my ONLY option? [01:48] NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-260.19.36.run [01:49] If I set my trip points (Only 2 options given Critical 105c hot 100c) to like 20C would it make the fan run all the time? [01:49] schock: yuou got the wrong one it wont work [01:49] BluesKaj: if you use static you wil need to define DNS in /etc/resolv.conf [01:49] ActionParsnip: ahh.. yea. I also like having 3 versions of 3 browsers at any given moment... [01:49] schock: just run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [01:49] ACtionParsnip: that one didn't work [01:49] r000t if your interfaces file is garbled rebooting may leave the VPS unusable when it comes up; I'd fix it first [01:49] ActionParsnip: fixes the "ARGH.. why wont you work" factor [01:49] twitch: oh crap :P [01:49] gartral|cr48: yeah fun and games huh (I just use chromium daily now) [01:49] Using 10.04, Dell Inspiron 9200 laptop. Sound Preferences>Output shows "Analog Out" and "Analog Out (LFE)" as separate connectors. Would prefer built in speakers AND build in sub to be on, not one or the other. Any ideas? [01:50] ActionParsnip: literally, the games I play don't behave under Chrome/Chromium. [01:50] twitch: shit. it's installed. now what ... [01:50] r000t: sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0 [01:50] ActionParsnip: Google Gave Me A CR-48 too test! :P [01:50] gartral|cr48: niiiice, I asked for one [01:50] !language | schock [01:50] schock: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [01:51] sorry :) [01:51] Tookish: It wouldn't surprise me if you need special OEM drivers for the "built-in subwoofer." [01:51] r000t: Before doing that though I would "sudo shutdown -r now + 10 min" so that if something goes wrong it will reboot automatically. [01:51] everyone does it once in a while, we aren't #RHEL we won't ban you on first offence! [01:51] Jordan_U eth0 not configured. Now that's a load of bull. I'm using it right now. [01:52] How the hell can it not be configures? [01:52] see? [01:52] jsw_: Will browse dell site, good idea [01:52] lol [01:52] Hey somebody could tell me why I was able to plug a flash USB drive and now it doesn't recognize it? and if is possible to fix it? [01:52] Almost like it's saying the kernel is not running [01:52] Chilaquiles: how did you remove it from the last system and what file system is it formatted to? [01:53] schock: dont worry .. just download the right one and run it [01:53] is NTFS [01:53] twitch k thx [01:53] I just unplugged it [01:54] Chilaquiles: it might need a visit from ntfsfix or windows' chkdsk [01:54] ohsix: all my flash drives? [01:54] ActionParsnip: yea, back to topic, ubuntu runs like a DREAM on the cr-48.. everything is workable, EVEN 3/4G [01:54] Is that the "Google Computer?" [01:54] ohsix: I could plug any of them and now it doesn't recognize any of them [01:54] Chilaquiles: if they're all ntfs and stopped working at once it's probably something else [01:55] jsw_: indeed it is.. [01:55] ohsix: They haven't stoped working because they are working in other computers [01:55] jsw_: their sweet.. but kinda painful to get used too how you dual-boot. [01:55] r000t: So here's the thing, if your interfaces *config file* is messed up, you can still be using the network interface right now, but if you reboot it may not work. This is also why ifdown/ifup probably won't work. [01:55] I just rebooted and it works fine. I'm screwing with the v6 configuration, not the v4 which I'm using to SSH [01:56] where do i goto to change themes on ubuntu 10 [01:56] Chilaquiles: i was only expounding on my statement after you provided more information; i didn't say anything about them in any other computers [01:56] where do i goto to change themes on ubuntu 10 [01:56] r000t: umm.. Ubuntu doesn't like two routes too internet.. [01:56] jenia: sry .. I have had a quick search and couldn't find anything .. if it was me i would just remove metacity [01:56] Jdogg420: right click desktop -> change wallpaper, then themes tab [01:57] gartral|cr48: It always worked just fine on my laptop when I was using tunnel broker [01:57] why doesn't gedit work like this? gedit smb://foo/bar.txt ?? [01:57] r000t: This is all in /etc/network/interfaces though right? [01:57] Seems the only way to use v6 is through a tunnel. Native is bugged [01:57] gartral|cr48: you can but you need some fancy route commands, its not easy [01:57] yeas jsw_ [01:57] ohsix: The problem is that the computer doesn't recognize any usb flash drive [01:57] now find black slickness [01:57] oops [01:58] i love black slickness [01:58] Chilaquiles: then you are abusing your hardware, do you not use the "safetly remove hardware" feature? [01:58] ActionParsnip: I said Ubuntu doesn't LIKE multiple routes... I never said it couldn't Do it! [01:58] !weather 2325 [01:58] gartral|cr48: ;) [01:58] um.. [01:58] ooops wrong channel [01:58] can somebody answer my question? [01:58] twitch: I need metacity sometimes. I am breaking my head for a month already trying to solve it. It used just to load normally before. [01:58] Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell inspiron laptop, but the installer is buggy and can't find the partitions apparently. Is there a newer release available? [01:59] Ok, I purged and re-installed firefox, and the exact same thing is happening, when I try and start it from the menu or icon, it is already running, from the cli the same thing. Killall firefox says no process found? [01:59] Smashcat: Does it see the drive? [01:59] smashcat - dell have their own release of buntu - may be good to use tht? [01:59] STAFFER" forgot password reset email please [01:59] n2diy: if you run: ps -ef | grep -i fire do you see any firefox processes running? [01:59] this is even more screwed up. I'm USING eth0 to SSH, but it says it can [01:59] Homefix: /join #freenode [01:59] My ubuntu doesn't seem to detect any usb flash drive, is there anything I can do about it? [01:59] 't briing it up [01:59] Homefix, not here #freenode [01:59] why doesn't gedit work like this? gedit smb://foo/bar.txt ?? [01:59] Thnk [01:59] Again, it's like talking to someone, but saying your mouth is missing [01:59] Chilaquiles: I asked you a question... [02:00] Jordan_U: Yes, but it doesn't allow me to choose a partition, or do anything except quit - I tried with a clean drive, also with 1 partition, formatted to ext4 [02:00] Ubuntu is lying it's ass off [02:00] r000t: I know this sounds like a horrible PiTA, but try disabling IPv4 then enabling IPv6 [02:00] Smashcat: My guess is that your partition table is actually invalid. Can you run "sudo parted -l" in a terminal and pastebin the output? [02:00] gartral|cr48: I just don't think that's a good idea. Then it will have NO connections to the internet [02:00] Smashcat: And a screenshot of the installer? [02:00] !screenshot | Smashcat [02:00] Smashcat: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [02:00] ActionParsnip: And I answered you [02:00] ActionParsnip, yes, one. [02:01] n2diy: ahh, reboot, sorry [02:01] ActionParsnip: They have NTFS and I just unplugged them [02:01] Chilaquiles: no you didn't you went straight in with reasking the question. Do you NOT use the safe remove hardware feature? [02:01] How is it possible to not be able to bring eth0 up.. then use eth0 to tell me as much? [02:01] Chilaquiles: that was my second question, there will be a few more [02:02] n2diy: is it the grep by any chance? [02:02] gartral|cr48, I did that too. [02:02] r000t: Is the network interface within the VPS actually called eth0 or something else? [02:02] jsw_: yeah. it says so in ifconfig [02:02] ActionParsnip, yes [02:02] Chilaquiles if you dont use safely remove under windows they will still be marked as in use and ubuntu will not automatically mount them [02:02] Jordan_U: Ah, it says the partition is fat32 - I know for a fact I changed that to ext4. I also set the label to "/" to help the installer pick it up. I'll try again. [02:03] if you configure inet6 manually using ifconfig does it "work?" [02:03] they can be forced to mount but it isnt the best idea [02:03] mycosys: is there any fix for that? [02:03] simplest and most reliable is to put em back into a windows boc and use chkdsk Chilaquiles [02:04] jsw_ depending on what I do, I get a network unreachable from connect, or with each ping, it says [whatever address I set as my address]: Destination Unreachable: Address unrachable [02:04] So it would be a horrible idea to use v6 only, as v6 won't work [02:04] r000t: The actions that were intended to be performed by ifup failed for some reason. That is all that error message means. It could be that there was a syntax error in your /etc/network/interfaces and so ifup couldn't (and didn't) do anything at all. === shane_ is now known as sharbour [02:04] mycosys: I already did that and still can recognize anything [02:04] Jordan_U: That's my parted output: http://pastebin.com/YrVpfsfR [02:04] ActionParsnip: Ok what was the next question? [02:05] Chilaquiles: do you NOT use the safetly remove hardware function in the OS you last pulled it from? [02:05] Chilaquiles: 3rd time now [02:05] Smashcat: It is showing an ext4 partition. [02:05] did you remove them using safely remove after you did it Chilaquiles? [02:05] Jordan_U: Yeah, realised just after i typed that i was looking at the USB details ;-) [02:06] ActionParsnip: I said I didn't 2 times ActionParsnip [02:06] Chilaquiles: then that's why. You haven't synced the cache and are abusing your hardware! [02:06] Chilaquiles: put it back in the last system then safetly eject the hardwrae like you are supposed tio [02:06] Chilaquiles: direct replies to me and I will see them [02:06] Well... that server is toast [02:07] rofl [02:07] Guess I'm complaining to PayPal [02:07] Chilaquiles: you will find (amazingly) that the USB now works if you safetly remove the device [02:07] ActionParsnip: OK Actionparty but the last system was Ubuntu the one that doesn't detect my usb driver [02:07] r000t: or contact the VPS vendor's support :P [02:07] wait twitch, why not the x86_64? it should be the right one [02:07] ffs Chilaquiles put em in a windows system, run chkdsk on em, use safely remove [02:07] not hard [02:08] jsw_ they're slow as hell and honestly there are many providers that have v6 configured by default. They just aren't based in Boston [02:08] so ive started using transmission as it seems to be the best client but im not getting good speeds [02:08] mycosys: all my flash drives? [02:08] yep [02:08] and use safely remove from now on - it is there for a reason [02:08] mycosys: why are they working in other systems but not ubuntu then? [02:08] Chilaquiles: use a windows pc then, or if it works in the other system then safe eject from there [02:08] #tug [02:08] KXTwo: that depends of the seeders [02:09] Chilaquiles because they are using a filesystem that is not native to ubuntu - it is VERY careful with them [02:09] Chilaquiles: its not working because you aren't using the hardware right. You are using NTFS which needs to be ejected to work in Ubuntu === esteban is now known as Guest87779 [02:09] xangua, there are thousands thats not the issue, ive done port forwarding and limited my upload [02:10] mycosys: but It is working on my other ubuntu machine!! [02:10] guys i am having issues with 5.1 sound (realtek) [02:10] ActionParsnip: but It is working on my other ubuntu machine!! === Liam_ is now known as lazarus_ [02:10] Jordan_U: Here's the screenshot of the installer - as I said, there's no options at this point other than going back or quitting: http://imagebin.org/138827 [02:10] i get some disturbance when using 5.1 sound mode [02:10] Chilaquiles: because the cache which needs flushing is on that system, replug it in, safetly remove the device and it will work [02:11] is there a transmission channel lol [02:11] sup [02:11] join #transmission [02:12] apparantly not [02:12] having a difficult time with ubuntu...I'm a noob...first time using it [02:12] Smashcat: You can't select the "new partition table" option? [02:12] !manual | qwerty1 please have a read [02:12] qwerty1 please have a read: 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/ [02:12] Jordan_U: Nope, all the options are disabled [02:12] qwerty1: Tell us about your trouble. [02:12] for some reason it thinks that there isn't a wifi connection [02:12] umm guys any help for me ? [02:13] Smashcat: Do you have or have you ever used FakeRAID? [02:13] Jordan_U: The dropdown with /dev/sda on it has no options either [02:13] i have problem with 5.1 surround sound (realtek) [02:13] Jordan_U: No, I haven't. [02:13] is wireless connection enabled [02:13] ActionParsnip: It didn't work [02:13] hello. I ve installed texlive 2010 with texworks, but cant run it typing "texworks" in a console, what happe? [02:13] Which version are you using, qwerty1 [02:13] I installed 10.10...and that's about as far as I can get..it all loads but doesn't wifi [02:13] KXTwo: there is, you need to type /join #transmission [02:13] any programs for ubuntu that can find the no# combo for a sertain color on a web page? [02:14] mycosys: I did what you told me but it didn't work [02:14] HazRPG, yah I found it lol [02:14] Chilaquiles: use that in future, you'll have fewer issues [02:14] I went to terminal and typed...sudo rfkill unblock wifi.....then for password I assume its my login one [02:14] Battery low, got to go... [02:14] qwerty1, in the upper right corner to the left of the speaker icon is there a wireless icon? [02:14] KXTwo: if you ever need to find a channel for something you can talk to the alis bot via /msg alis LIST [02:14] qwerty1: Correct. [02:15] KXTwo: I would recommend using wildcards such as * [02:15] yes..its grey with a red ! [02:15] Chilaquiles: what is the output of: groups [02:15] KXTwo: e.g. /msg alis LIST *transmission [02:15] qwerty1, you shouldnt need to do all that, you should be able to do everything without terminal [02:15] Jordan_U: Well it's not a big deal I guess - wanted to see if the android emulator would run any faster under linux on this laptop, guess it's just not compatible with Linux [02:15] Actg [02:15] ActionParsnip: user1 adm dialout fax cdrom dip plugdev fuse netdev lpadmin admin sambashare [02:15] hello. I v einstalle texlive 2010 with texworks, but cant run it typing "texworks" in a console [02:16] Jordan_U: I'll put the windows drive back in ;-) [02:16] KXTwo: the wildcard in the front is because some channels have either # or ##, or some don't have a hash in the front at all [02:16] only problem is #transmission is dead [02:16] KXTwo: depends on what region most of them are on, over here in the UK its 2:16am [02:16] KXT..I read online that ppl with this comp have had wifi issues with 10.10..that's where I found the cmd line [02:16] 有人吗 [02:17] !cn | lizhiping [02:17] lizhiping: 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 [02:17] KXTwo: what's the issue exactly? [02:17] Smashcat: I'm still curious what's happening if you're willing to do some more troubleshooting. [02:17] Chilaquiles: ok, when you plug the device into the system, run: dmesg | tail use http://pastie.org to give the result, thanks [02:17] I've got an interesting question for you guys; about encryption. [02:17] Jordan_U: Can do - guessing it's a bug in the installer. I can work with the drive fine with fdisk, gparted and disk util [02:18] I've been looking at this: http://shop.kernelconcepts.de/product_info.php?products_id=119 [02:18] which is essentially a SIM card type reader [02:18] supposedly for encryption [02:18] Chilaquiles install ntfsfix, and use it [02:18] is there a rule i am not following, why my questions are not being answered ? [02:18] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1584260 [02:18] Who, no [02:18] and I recall someone linking me to this: http://www.g10code.com/p-card.html [02:18] not use to so many ppl [02:18] who it is a busy channel and they werent seen by anyone who knew an answer [02:18] I was wondering, how would these two together work to store and retrieve PGP keys [02:18] would I have to write my own set of applications, or can I use existing ones... and if so which existing ones would word [02:18] i installed a package a long time ago that puts random ubuntu tips and tricks into the motd when i open a terminal, etc. does anyone know what it's called? [02:19] work* [02:19] roknir, 3rd party? I recall something like that [02:19] Chilaquiles: ok if you reboot with it in, is it ok? [02:19] bazhang: i believe it's standard repos [02:20] ActionParsnip: no [02:20] roknir, not sure then. you could apt-cache search package it I suppose [02:20] Smashcat: Can you try rebooting the LiveCD, press any key during the first 5 seconds of boot to get to a menu, then press F6 and select the "nomdraid" option? [02:20] hi i have 2 monitors 1 onboard video and 1 nvidia can i do dualmonitors? [02:21] can someone tell me how to make a program like chromium open maximized? not fullscreen, just maximized. [02:21] Jordan_U: My installer's on a USB stick - is that ok? [02:21] Smashcat: Yes. [02:21] markoso, you mean two graphics cards? [02:21] !clone [02:21] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [02:21] How do I revert to the Nvidia drivers 260. The new 270.18 drivers crash VMWare Workstation 7.1.3 build-324285 on Ubuntu Maverick. [02:21] kk [02:21] yes i have 2 cards [02:22] one monitor is plugged into my nviida card the other is in the onboared how can i use both? [02:22] Chilaquiles: then I'd use that dmesg output to find advice and guides [02:22] guys a few minutes ago i changed some appearence settings and went from visual effects: extra to visual effects: none and then when i tried to go back to "extra" it told me i needed a graphics driver for my nvidia card and i installed it, it said i needed to reboot and now ubuntu only goes as far as some prompt. it says ubuntu 10.10 ttyl and asks me to login [02:22] how do i make chromium open maximized?? [02:22] markoso, no idea about 2 cards, but xrandr will let you use a single card [02:23] ActionParsnip: Yeah but how can I fix it? [02:23] how do do plug 2 monitors into one card? [02:23] markoso, the only way I know of is to heavily edit your x11.conf file [02:23] adapter? [02:23] how can i do with one card [02:23] Chilaquiles: not sure but the dmesg output will help you a lot [02:23] glitchd: add the option: -start-maximized [02:23] Chilaquiles: maybe others can advise [02:24] can anyone tell me why i can write to this disk, from fstab: UUID=234e7c21-a19c-4e78-8c48-e79ae0d4d39b /media/100gb ext4 rw,user 0 1 [02:24] markoso, depends on the card. not all cards can do dual head [02:24] I normally make sure I have a card with 2 outputs [02:24] oh if it can doe i need an adapater [02:24] <|Long|> which apps, it allow me to see all my drives free space? in GUI? [02:25] hopefully someone can help [02:25] ActionParsnip, thats still not making it open maximized, it keeps opening in a window [02:25] Need to revert my Nvidia drivers back to 260 from 270. How do I do that? [02:25] gta san andreas won't work anymore since it got upgraded. Tell me how to get the old one back [02:25] Chilaquiles have you tried the usb ports at the back rather than the front - looks like it is diconnecting and reconnecting [02:25] since wine got upgraded [02:26] and nowwwwwwwwwwwwww slammmm dunkkkkkkkkkkkkk [02:26] markoso, yes if your card supports it, you'll need an adapter like those that used to come (still comes?) with matrox cards [02:26] all starsssssssss [02:26] gta san andreas won't work anymore since wine got upgraded. Tell me how to get the old one back [02:26] mycosys: I've tried that [02:26] My ubuntu doesn't seem to detect any usb flash drive, is there anything I can do about it? [02:26] Jordan_U: Tried booting while pressing 5 all the way through the boot - the installer i have gives no options during boot. [02:26] ActionParsnip, do u have any other ideas?? [02:27] i have a question. i have 4 hard drives I want to raid5 togeather using the software raid in ubuntu. 1 drive is full about 1tb of data. is it possible to raid 3 of them togeather, move the data over, then add the 4th drive into the array and have the data evenly distributed and working as intended? [02:27] ok [02:27] ill be right back [02:27] i suspect it is that machine more than that OS Chilaquiles [02:27] glitchd: I use devilspie personally but I like the control [02:27] glitchd: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO/cli.html [02:27] Smashcat: That's frustrating. [02:27] ActionParsnip, i have no clue what that is [02:28] mycosys: no, is definetly the OS [02:28] ActionParsnip, and it used to open maxed, but then just stopped doin it all of a sudden.. [02:28] i suspect if you boot that machine in doze Chilaquiles you will hear a lot of dings and dongs as it disconnects and reconnects [02:28] Jordan_U: Yeah - it has a boot menu with "Advanced options", but the only option in that submenu is "back" ;-) [02:28] ActionParsnip, thunkee would it make a diff if i told u that i was in 10.04? [02:28] glitchd: its a daemon which watches the desktop. When new windows get made it applys rules [02:29] Smashcat: Do you see a list of kernel parameters that you can edit if you hit F6 or tab? [02:30] I booted to the live 10.04 cd on a usb stick, and noticed in .xsession-errors file there is a line of text that concerns me regardy a proxy, i don't think i have a proxy, could someone look at it, http://paste.ubuntu.com/569435/ [02:30] ActionParsnip, but why would it all of a sudden just stop opening chromium maxed? === carlos is now known as Guest26304 [02:30] ActionParsnip, and why would i need to install another prog to make it open maxed?? [02:30] ActionParsnip, isnt there a switch or a setting that i can change? [02:30] Jordan_U: Nope - it doesn't seem to have any options during boot. There's an initial menu (with that advanced option that's useless) then after that it either boots to the desktop, or to the installer. Doesn't seem to matter what I press during boot [02:31] glitchd: try maximizing it then hold CTRL+SHIFT and click close... [02:31] glitchd: man chromium-browser may help [02:31] yo [02:32] ActionParsnip, wow crtl+shift on close seems to have righted the wrong [02:32] I'm having trouble with a script that updates my IP for for my webserver. I think the script updates a DNS to give me my new ip since I have dynamic IP. The problem is that the script does not update my IP like it should. Instead whenever my IP changes, I have to re-run the script (I think it's supposed to do that on its own). When I run the script, my IP updates to the DNS and then the domain name redirects to my webserver a [02:32] s it should. What's going on here? What can I do so that it always updates my IP automatically? === schock_ is now known as schock [02:33] ActionParsnip, thank you for you help, my problem is fixed=) [02:33] myradlife: the script is ddclient? from dyndns? [02:34] Jordan_U: Well thanks for trying to help - I left the original Windows 7 drive alone so I can just swap it back in. Guessing Dell just don't bother too much with Linux on their laptops ;-) [02:34] glitchd: what was the bullet? [02:34] Anybody here fans of the Unity interface? [02:34] weside: not me [02:34] maximizing and holding crtl+shift as i closed it [02:34] i know I feel the same :/ [02:34] bazhang: i'm sorry, you were right. it was 3rd party: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/get-random-ubuntu-tips-on-your-desktop-app/ [02:34] I don't trust clouding. [02:34] ActionParsnip, maximizing and holding crtl+shift as i closed it [02:35] glitchd: nice [02:35] ActionParsnip, indeed sir, thx again [02:35] Is there a way to enable TOR system-wide? [02:36] It is enabled system wide [02:36] Oh alright [02:36] can anyone tell me why i can't write to this disk, from fstab: UUID=234e7c21-a19c-4e78-8c48-e79ae0d4d39b /media/100gb ext4 rw,user 0 1 [02:36] hello, how do i determine which is my current sound configuration usage? [02:37] does anyone know if the next version of Ubuntu give the option of regular Gnome or the Unity?. [02:37] bastidrazor, the script is ipUpdate.pl from dnsexit.com [02:38] weside: It does, yes. [02:38] if you want to proxy everything though TOR just go into System -> Pref. -> Network Proxy Preferences. Then click on Manual proxy config [02:38] myradlife: does it run as a daemon or have a sleep in its .conf ? [02:38] Unity seems okay for netbooks i guess [02:39] bastidrazor, not sure, I thought it's supposed to run as daemon. how do i check? === jnr is now known as Guest95790 [02:39] hola [02:39] hello [02:39] alguien me lee [02:40] myradlife: dnsexit.com should have documentation about how the script should run. [02:40] weside you can choose "Classic" or Unity on the Alpha ver of Natty [02:40] oh cool [02:40] bastidrazor, let me send you the link to their instructions, but it's not very helpful. I've done it the way they specify [02:41] bastidrazor, http://www.dnsexit.com/Direct.sv?cmd=ipClients === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [02:42] anybody fans of other distros besides Ubuntu?. [02:42] sure [02:42] OpenBSD [02:42] !ot [02:42] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:42] myradlife: it tells you where to get better instructions and to choose daemon mode. have you done this? [02:42] kubuntu? mint? [02:42] weside, #ubuntu-offtopic [02:42] wooops [02:43] SuSE, DSL, RHEL, CentOS bunch o others [02:43] mint is nice if you want things to just work. [02:43] Debian? [02:43] yeah debian is a great distro, esp for server [02:43] Debian 6 Squeeze has ZERO blobs in the kernel now! Really interesting and truly free. [02:44] chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic please [02:44] I think for the normal home user Ubuntu is the way to go [02:45] it's linux for human beings right? [02:45] If your not a paranoid geek like me then the best Distro is prolly Ubuntu. [02:45] what do people use to stream videos from ubuntu to ps3? [02:45] Does Ubuntu provide packages for Win32 cross development? [02:46] segin, you could try developing with mono [02:46] open source implementation of .NET [02:46] hi [02:46] peeps[lappy]: I meant like mingw32/mingw64 [02:47] i have a issue with my ubuntu 10.10 : when i select any theme, my menu stay GREY why ? http://myuploader.net//files/90/Screenshot333.png [02:47] peeps[lappy]: there's plenty of Java-like failures as it is, I don't need to be assisting the proliferation of another [02:47] You know what bugs me?. is that netflix won't stream on Linux natively.. [02:48] segin, what exactly are you trying to do? [02:48] weside: That's Microsoft's fault, they won't put the DRM bits in the Moonlight codecs package [02:48] bastidrazor, i've run that setup script before and chosen Daemon mode [02:48] peeps[lappy]: Compile binaries for Windows. === git__ is now known as modulus_ [02:49] peeps[lappy]: Porting UNIX apps, specifically, I was just looking for ready-made packages, else I'll just compile the mingw64 toolchain by hand === modulus_ is now known as git__ [02:49] Yep it is said microsoft has to keep us down like that. [02:49] said=sad [02:49] peeps[lappy]: just compiling is a painfully boring all-day affair, which, coming from the *BSD world, is a familiar experience for me [02:49] !ot > weside [02:49] weside, please see my private message [02:50] hi [02:50] root@needlez-Satellite-A505:/home/needlez# modprobe -r ar9170 ; modprobe ar9170usb [02:50] FATAL: Module ar9170 not found. [02:50] anyone able to help?? [02:50] I have already put the necessary firmware in lib/firmware [02:50] firmware to what?} [02:50] i have a issue with my ubuntu 10.10 : when i select any theme, my menu stay GREY why ? http://myuploader.net//files/90/Screenshot333.png [02:50] needlez: Did you check dmesg? [02:51] juabn1: for usb wireless card [02:51] segin: no I havent check dmesg yet [02:51] model of you card? [02:51] needlez: if you ever have driver issues, always check dmesg first [02:52] needlez: drivers (usually) put (usually) more descriptive messages in dmesg [02:52] needlez: if firmware cannot load, that is where the error will be found. [02:52] dmesg | grep -i ar9170usb returns nothing [02:53] guys can someone help me troubleshoot my graphics card error? [02:53] bastidrazor, if it's set in the daemon mode, shouldn't it run in the background and update my IP each time? Instead I have to manually execute the script ipUpdate.pl each time to update to dnsexit. [02:53] however dmesg | grep -i firmware returns usb 2-1.1: firmware not found [02:53] Jordan_U: I've got it working (it's installing atm) - I cleared the partition table again, then created an EXT3 partition instead of EXT4 and the installer found it straight away (that was my last idea ;-) ) [02:53] needlez: best is: dmesg | tail -n 30 [02:53] needlez: last 30 errors, do it right after load fails [02:54] err last 30 lines [02:55] i dont like running in failsafe graphics :( [02:55] teddyb: what video chip?? [02:55] segin: this is what Im getting http://pastie.org/1584322 [02:55] yall know if there's any non-lame linux games? [02:55] FPS [02:55] nvidia 310 m it has nvidias optimus feature [02:56] Smashcat: My guess is that the problem was some left over metadata from FakeRAID, or something that looked like it, and that formatting as ext3 just happened to overwrite those particular bits. [02:56] sorry actionparsnip: nvidia 310 m it has nvidias optimus feature [02:56] niteshade - try Google maybe? [02:56] like more objective-based than arena based [02:57] Smashcat: Unfortunately Ubuntu's installer doesn't give any warning message when it ignores drives that look like they might be part of a RAID array it doesn't understand. [02:57] Jordan_U: A right - well it's nice to get it working so I try out some Android dev under Linux instead of Windows ;-) [02:57] if GTA was ported to linux, it would be like christmas for me [02:57] needlez: do: rmmod ar9170 ar9170usb ; modprobe ar1970usb ; dmesg | tail -n 30 [02:57] myradlife: yes, daemon mode will run every X seconds [02:58] needlez: rtl8192 driver is very noisy and constantly pushes stuff to dmesg [02:58] needlez: I have the 8191, uses the same driver, it's annoying [02:58] Jordan_U: Weird thing is, the last machine this SSD was in was in another linux server, as a boot drive. Not in a raid. [02:58] bastidrazor, I had it set up in Daemon mode [02:58] so it's clearly not working [02:58] lol wtf [02:58] .mods [02:58] !mods [02:59] noo the floodbot is gone [02:59] segin: i think im gonna recompile compat first and see if that fixes it, real quick [03:00] bastidrazor, what does work is if I execute ipUpdate.pl , then it almost instantly works. Here's a weird thing: I put "*/30 * * * * ipUpdate.pl" in my crontab and it still doesn't work. Shouldn't it execute that script every 30 mins the way this is set up? [03:00] can someone please lead me to an idea on how to make flash stop completely deadlocking my kernel :( no logs, tried every ver of flash, tried reinstalling nvidia drivers, chrome, firefox, hardware accel, non accel, cleared .adobe and .macromedia home folders. nothing has helped. flash vid randomly deadlocks entire system and absolutely no log is written to /var/log [03:00] ubuntu 10.10 x64 [03:00] teddyb: did you install nvidia-current ? [03:00] !sysrq | ActionParsnip [03:00] ActionParsnip: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B.

[03:01] ActionParsnip: Mistab. [03:01] ActionParsnip: tried that, ive tried like 6 diff flashes [03:01] Aikar: I had strange things going on with my machine, couldn't figure it out, replaced video card = fixed. I guess video card was on its last leg and demonstrating that by freezing the box. [03:01] jsw_: wasnt doing it 2 weeks ago, vid card is rather new [03:01] actionparsnip: yes and nvidia settings and dkms [03:01] and only does it on flash [03:02] I've had 4 nvidia cards die on me in the past ~5 years. Go figure :/ [03:02] actually wait it did lock up twice after bootup i remember [03:02] Aikar: can you use: http://pastie.org and give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l  [03:02] but its almost replicable by viewing flash [03:02] oops [03:02] Aikar: uname -a; lsb_release -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l [03:02] jsw_: power? [03:03] Aikar: uname -a; lsb_release -a; echo; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash [03:03] What's the "cheat sheet" format for a shell one-liner for adding a PPA repo? [03:03] Aikar: putty being a pain before [03:03] segin: sudo add-apt-repositorty address [03:03] ActionParsnip: And what's the shorthand for PPA repos? [03:03] ActionParsnip: Launchpad PPA [03:03] xorwhy: power supply, I eventually realized. PSU started shooting sparks out the back and burned up a mainboard and CPU in addition to the 4th video card, which ... tipped me off to the root cause of the hardware failures. :) [03:03] segin: it'll say on the ppa page, there is no single answer [03:04] kinda scary when sparks are flying out of your computer; it would have made a cool scene in a "hacker movie" [03:04] Anyway, each time a video card was failing, the computer would lock up more and more; or X would simply crash [03:04] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1584335 - and i used Flash-Aid to install latest flash [03:04] why dont you linux users just shove all this open source bullshit up your own ass. no one cares about compiling or configuring or any of the bullshit you constantly jack off about. we normal people just care about chatting and sending email to our friends and viewing the www so please shut the fuck up about foxfire or whatever the fuck tangent you're going off on. thanks for reading this. dongs. [03:04] (or artifacts would appear on the screen) [03:05] anyone got soudn to work on the latest gen mac mini on ubuntu? [03:05] jsw_: Yeah the sparks would have been more than a slight indication of it being power [03:05] ActionParsnip: I know there's a way to figure it out from the repo's web URL, hopefully Ifigure it out, would be such a timesaver [03:05] and ty [03:05] Aikar: latest flash is in the repo already... [03:05] like i said ,i tried 6 diff ones [03:05] segin: veiw a ppa page, the name in bold is the address [03:05] segin, whats the link [03:05] jsw_: My old server failed due to an overheating PSU - it ran in my attic for 4 years straight until the fan became so blocked up with dead spiders etc that it couldnt move any more ;-) [03:05] Well PSU; I have UPSes. I am guessing one of those large, imposing capacitors in the PSU shouldn't have made it past Q/A and blew up. [03:06] Aikar: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer flashplugin64-installer; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y flashplugin64-installer [03:07] Aikar: you have old configs left for the packages listed, the command given will clean up then install the 64bit flash [03:07] Smashcat: I have a ton of equipment that I try to vacuum dust out of every ~6 months or so [03:07] ActionParsnip: how can you tell that from that output? [03:07] ActionParsnip: is that flashplugin64 in the normal repos? I don't have it in mine. [03:07] actionparsnip any idea what to do? [03:08] Aikar: 'rc' on the left of the package name, installed apps sho 'ii' [03:08] shane4ubuntu: gotta enable the source (use ubuntu tweak) [03:08] teddyb: no idea dude [03:08] google chrome comes with flash built in. works great out of the box [03:08] Aikar: ahh, ok, I was kind of jumping in mid converstation, thanks [03:08] shane4ubuntu: its in a PPA [03:08] flashplugin-installer [03:08] jsw_: Heh, yeah it seems to get in everywhere - I have my new server up in the attic on a stack of books now, and it seems to be keeping the spiders off of it mostly. [03:08] ActionParsnip: ahh, ok, thanks, I just came in mid-conversation [03:08] segin: this is what I got http://pastie.org/1584344 [03:08] shane4ubuntu: doesn't use nspluginwrapper like flash will if you install flashplugin-nonfree etc [03:09] what are the btrfs utilities called? is it brtfsprogs? [03:09] ActionParsnip: well, anything 64 tends to catch my eye, but I have started using Chromium [03:09] btrfsutils maybe jack_ [03:09] ActionParsnip: should i have the LinuxHWblah and OverrideGPUValidation flags on in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg [03:09] w0rd [03:09] shane4ubuntu: i use the daily, its been great since lucid :) [03:09] jack_, btrfs-tools [03:09] jack_: btrfs-tools I think [03:09] what is a recommended program to backup dvds? [03:09] yup :) [03:09] !find btrfs [03:09] Found: btrfs-tools, btrfs-tools-dbg [03:09] ok thanks actionparsnip, do you think its safe to remove nvidia-current [03:09] ActionParsnip: thanks for the tip, I may have to check it out. [03:10] ActionParsnip: don't fill up your disk :] [03:10] paq7512, ogmrip k9copy [03:10] trying to get ubuntu 10.10 working on a HP DV6 [03:10] anyone care to give me some guidance\ [03:10] paq7512: theres dvd95 that'll shrink them too [03:10] paq7512, the second will install kdelibs [03:10] ohsix: with what? [03:10] does k9 work well with gnome? [03:10] zenn: What problem are you having? [03:11] paq7512, sure but ogmrip is far better imo [03:11] got it installed as a dual boot. [03:11] i run dvdfab in wine to rip dvds :X [03:11] ActionParsnip: I take it i need to delete /var/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so that Flash-Aid installed, since i now have flashplugin-alternative.so ? [03:11] zenn: give some details and we may be able to help [03:11] cant get wireless working [03:11] ActionParsnip: btrfs [03:11] jack_, then you need to give ogmrip a shot [03:11] ActionParsnip: PPA repos can be added by shorthand ppa:/, e.g. "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ebower/ebower/ubuntu maverick main" can be specfied as "ppa:ubuntu-ebower/ebower" to add-apt-repository [03:11] .wuit dang client [03:11] Aikar: yes, you only want ONE plugin or you will get nothing. Why you are using that app is a mystery [03:11] bazhang: is it in the repo? i'll take a look at that [03:12] jack_, yep you might to use the --install-recommends option as well [03:12] broadcom 43225 wireless card, not showing up [03:12] ActionParsnip: after having my system crash at least 30 times in past few days, i was trying everything and someone recommended it to keep up to date (it dls from adobe site) [03:12] bazhang: damn. too late [03:12] segin : http://pastie.org/1584344 this is what im getting [03:12] segin: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-ebower/ebower [03:12] segin: source: https://www.ebower.com/docs/ubuntu-bluray/#ebower-ppa-install [03:12] ActionParsnip: Does add-apt-repository accept multiple addresses in a single go? [03:12] segin: not sure, never tried [03:12] ActionParsnip: Yes, I just mentioned that, I was reading the same thing [03:13] what version of ubuntu do you run mainly? [03:13] i have a load average of 8. 2 processes in state D. I think i have somethign weird going on with nautilus. i killed 4 of the nautilus processes the other day and gained back the majority of my ram and my load dropped to 1.something [03:13] paq7512, maverick [03:13] you guys heard of an issue like that? [03:14] iirc there is a bug like that in QT [03:14] jack_ [03:14] ugh. now im at 10. i have no idea whats causing my runqueue to be so high. my runqueue is low according to vmstat [03:14] in qt you say? === AK|wut is now known as Andorin [03:15] ad [03:15] ' [03:15] Whoops, sorry. === nick_ is now known as Guest13988 [03:15] damn. that sentence didn't make any sense heh [03:15] yup - was affecting mythtv jack_ - they worked round it but it was creating defunct processes left right and centre === Anthraxium is now known as Anthraxium|Detac [03:16] ActionParsnip: [03:16] rc hal 0.5.14-0ubuntu6 Hardware Abstraction Layer [03:16] could that be an issue considering i just did a full hardware swap [03:16] problems didnt start until after i switched to new hardware [03:16] moved HDD and video card to new mobo/cpu/ram [03:16] tested ram already [03:16] Aikar: possibly, worth a try I guess [03:17] if ur searching for it part of what brought it up in myth was a change from udevinfo to uvedadm [03:17] I can't get Firefox to run, I deleted all the lock and .parent lock files,, purged firefox, and reinstalled, and I'm still told it is already running.. Killall says no process found, WTF? [03:17] what does the HAL Do for ubuntu, and its dpkg -P hal to clean it up? [03:17] n2diy: is it running? you could move ~/.mozilla out of the way [03:17] Is it possible to setup mythbuntu on an existing ubuntu desktop 10.10 installation [03:18] era878, sure [03:18] era878, install mythbuntu-desktop package [03:18] bazhang i have dowload the control center, now what? [03:18] era878: theres no difference under the hood, just default app set [03:18] era878, configure it? [03:18] Aikar: HAL == hardware abstraction layer [03:18] i figured it out. it was picasa. stupid wine app. :x [03:19] chsis, what, delete .mozilla? [03:19] n2diy, you can unlink files but if they're still being accessed the system won't remove them till they're actually freed, try unmounting your /home directory if possible or rebooting [03:19] n2diy: restart? [03:19] n2diy: what if you do a: `ps -ef | grep firefox` [03:19] yeah i know, but i was told linux doesnt care about hardware, so whats it provide, and why do i have left over configs if i havent touched it? this install isnt old [03:19] im at the part where i choose a remote control and an ir blaster but i dont know which to choose. i have a Hauppauge_HVR-1600 [03:20] best to ask that bit on #mythtv era878 [03:20] but you can change it later [03:20] you probably dont have an ir blaster [03:20] has anybody gotten around the boxee hulu issue in here? i though ti had it resolved but after a re-install its back and i cant fix it :x [03:21] not that it helps as everything is hulu+ these days [03:22] kitty, acon-ltd and jack I have done all of those, and no change, grep only reports grep. [03:24] jack command not foud. [03:25] n2diy have you tried making a new user or running firefox as a different user? [03:26] kitty_, no, let me try that. [03:26] n2diy: what happens when you run it from the terminal? [03:26] n2diy: command not found? ps? ps should show output. [03:26] jack, command not found [03:26] i dont believe you [03:26] n2diy i don't suggest you do it as habit, but you could always try gksu firefox and seeing what it'll do [03:27] n2diy: by 'it' i mean firefox. run firefox from the terminal. doe sit start? does it error out? [03:28] kitty_: great way to break things. boo [03:28] i doubt he'd *break* anything with firefox :P [03:29] n2diy: Does /usr/bin/firefox exist? If not, what is the output of "dpkg -S /usr/bin/firefox"? [03:30] well if you'd like to help him, be my guest. su is fastest way i know to run stuff as a different user as most people don't run crap as root and root is gonna an account for 99.9% of everone out there [03:30] anyone able to help, when i plug in any wireless adapter it doesn't work at all, even ones that work oob aren't working anymore any ideas. this happened after i patched compat-wireless with frag+ack and maxim-patch [03:32] how do i boot Ubuntu form the disk to reinstall Ubuntu [03:32] can someone help me get this dang program to work or to install??please? [03:32] does anyone know? [03:32] How to [03:32] Secret128: boot the disk in the drive and reboot [03:32] glitchd: what program? [03:32] Secret128, boot your computer and go to the bios the set the first boot device to the cdrom [03:33] anybody down with some wifi q&a? [03:33] needlez, does your iwconfig list any adapters when you insert them, if not can you pastebin dmesg output relevant to when you plug in said devices? [03:33] what button do i enter to the bois [03:33] bios [03:33] jack_, its a playlist.com downloader [03:33] playlist.com downloader? for linux? [03:33] jack_, it has .py scripts [03:33] jack_, yes for linux [03:33] !anyone | qwerty1 [03:33] qwerty1: 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? [03:33] Secret128: that varies from motherboard to motherboard [03:33] jack_, https://github.com/theangrybaby/PlaylistDownloader-Linux-Version/ [03:34] glitchd: can you just execute it? [03:34] its a imb laptop [03:34] kitty_: iwconfig doesnt show anything other then wlan0, which this would be wlan1 [03:34] anyone? [03:34] and for dmesg what should I type into terminal?? [03:34] its a ibm laptop [03:34] Secret128: try to find "boot sequence" or something similar [03:34] glitchd: sudo chmod +x python downloadergui.py [03:34] glitchd: sudo ./python downloadergui.py [03:35] whooops [03:35] Secret128: try all the f keys at boot ? :) [03:35] needlez, dmesg |tail and you should see some messages about new hardware, if it isn't recognized yet or it says something about waiting for device to settle before scanning, then just dmesg| tail again till you get something that looks like it was a wireless card inserted, if you don't, then your card might not have drivers (perhaps ndis?) [03:35] i dont think you even need to do that. i didnt see it was py. durp [03:35] Secret128: try all the f keys and delete [03:35] jack_, chmod: cannot access `python': No such file or directory [03:35] glitchd: what happens when you run 'python downloadergui.py' [03:36] 10.10 is not seeing my wifi..in term I used cmd..sudo lshw -c network....says its unclaimed and gives a long list of random things [03:36] kitty_: i got this for part of it, this part is strange not sure what is wrong http://pastie.org/1584399 [03:37] jack_, see pm [03:37] needlez, did you try to re-flash your card? [03:37] ActionParsnip: still froze, im going to boot into livecd to see if it happens there, and if so i can rule it is the hardware, if not, ill have to reinstall i guess [03:37] i.e. update its firmware? [03:37] okay in there [03:37] kitty_: no, how could I do that?? [03:37] now what [03:38] which option [03:38] (i run irssi on server, so detaching, ill reattach on live) [03:38] Hello. I'm trying to restore a disk on another computer with dd, but I don't want the partition to get smaller. [03:38] if you didn't then i'd say your card is broken or the new drivers you're trying to use doesn't recognize it [03:38] How do I do this? [03:38] Anyone have any ideas? [03:39] kitty_: the card works perfectly fine on my other computer [03:39] agreimann ever use gparted ? [03:39] Yes. :) [03:39] thats my suggestion :P [03:39] Thanks for the suggestion, however... [03:39] how do i delete lubuntu [03:39] I'm trying to restore a filesystem that Linux cannot properly handle in gparted--hfs+. [03:40] agreimann: which filesystem? [03:40] agreimann you can always just dd from your backup file to your new partition, then ust gparted to fix whatever errors are gonna be introduced into your file system if the structure didn't perfectly match [03:40] But... how do I keep the partition from being locked in? [03:40] agreimann: what do you mean you're trying to restore it dd but dont want the partition to get smaller? [03:40] im in the bios now what [03:40] When I restored before, a 40 GB disk shrank to 7.3 GB (from an 8 GB disk). [03:40] how do make it install ubuntu [03:41] Secret128: try to find "boot sequence" [03:41] if you mean, you just want to copy the data and not the parition table, you'll need to figure out wher ethe data starts ont he disk and start dding from there [03:41] agreimann did you dd /dev/sda or did you actually point it at a partition? [03:41] Secret128: or list the options that you have [03:41] Secret128, is there a section about the boot order? [03:41] agriemann cause that sounds like you copied the actual device not the partition [03:41] no theres startup options [03:41] Here's what I'm using: dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/hda [03:41] kitty_, the newuser can use Firefox, and I can't? [03:41] On another computer, that is. [03:41] Secret128, also u can install it from inside windows.. [03:41] i mean setup [03:41] agreimann: that will copy the partition table [03:41] options [03:42] Correct. :) [03:42] That's what I'm trying to restore. [03:42] Secret128, what version of linux are u installing? [03:42] agreimann: well disks dont 'shrink'. partitions can shrink [03:42] Ubuntu 10.10 [03:42] It's not that it shrinks. [03:42] When dd finishes, because .dev.sda is 7.3 GB, the other disk ends up being 7.3 GB. [03:43] I'd like it to be larger--40 GB. [03:43] agreimann: where are you reading that? [03:43] agreimann try doing your /dev/sda1 or whatever your partition is instead of the whole disk [03:43] for me it was advanced cmos options > boot sequence, but my bios lists everything [03:43] I hope this makes sense. [03:43] it makes perfect sense [03:43] I'm restoring a Mac for someone. [03:43] Secret128, pm me [03:44] well, kitty_ appears to understand so listen to him. :P heh [03:44] I have OS X imaged to a flash drive. [03:44] Hey, I got a question about the "tar" command. I'm trying to archive a bunch of directories, but I want to archive certain directories instead of it doing all the contents in a directory. For example, if I had directories that had similar terms in their names, how would I use that to archive? Any wildcard options I can use? Thanks in advance for your help! [03:44] Hi guys. I'm attempting to get VirtualBox running with windows xp, but the network adapter isn't cooperating. I'm getting "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" [03:44] I simply want to restore it (including his files) without reinstalling OS X. [03:44] n2diy: What is the output of "which firefox" and "echo $PATH" from your main user (which cannot use firefox)? [03:44] you're copying the whole device over, not just a partition, if you do a "fdisk -l" it will list your partitions from your source, you'll want to use dd /dev/sda(partition number from fdisk -l) size=(output from fdisk-l for size) count=(again output from fdisk -l) [03:44] Tom_Callahan: there is a way. one sec [03:44] ^^ sudo fdisk -l [03:44] Thanks, everyone, for the assistance! :) [03:44] Ideas? [03:45] Thanks, jack_ [03:45] Tom_Callahan: tar -cvjf /tmp/jsdc_backup_$(date | sed s/" "/"-"/g) /var/www/* --exclude=*/remote/* --exclude=*/RHEL/* [03:45] Tom_Callahan: ^use the exclude flags [03:45] actionparsnip, you still here by any chance? === Spacewalker_ is now known as Spacewalker [03:45] when you point it at the device /dev/sda the first thing it starts copying is the mbr, partition table, and tada... you just re-partitioned your new 40gb hd to whatever your source disk was [03:45] agreimann: could you not just create a new partition on the disk and copy the files from the usb to the localdisk? [03:46] Tried that, but yaboot won't boot OS X. [03:46] It stays stuck on the Apple logo. [03:46] Thanks for your assistance so far. [03:46] so you're trying to copy the mbr as well? [03:46] kitty_, 'which firefox' returns /usr/bin, and it is in the path. [03:46] just load up fdisk after you do the copy and hit the "X"pert mode [03:46] Ahhh I see, so I'd add the directories I don't want to archive in the exclude tags. Also, is there any reason why the "/tmp/jsdc_backup_......... /var/www*" part is in your command? Just curious. Thanks, jack_! [03:47] and it's gonna have a bunch of crap popup about how your partition table doesn't match the geometry of your disk and would you like to fix it [03:47] It's an iBook. It uses a different map than MBR. [03:47] That's what's confusing. [03:48] Tom_Callahan: in my command, the tar file will be created in /tmp/jsdc_backup_. the folder im tarring is /var/www [03:48] If it were a PC, I'd understand it better. [03:48] is it possible to get the old font rendering back? [03:48] the kind used in pretty much every linux distro [03:48] Ahhh I see, thanks, jack_! [03:48] does linux recognize the individual partitions on the disk when you fdisk -l ? [03:48] agreimann: Simply dd the entire image to the drive you want to "restore" to, then once you're done resize the partition to use the remaining free space. [03:48] agreimann: why are you using dd over cp? [03:48] dejavu sans [03:48] Tom_Callahan: let me know if you have any further questions [03:48] Will do, thanks! [03:49] xrdodrx: yes [03:49] Can cp image disk to disk? [03:49] ruan, how? [03:49] agreimann: GParted can work with Apple partition maps as well as resize hfsplus./ [03:49] It can? [03:49] xrdodrx: System > appearance > fonts [03:49] yes [03:49] I have emacs running on ubuntu10.1o, sometimes on emacs the text appears to display on top of other text, resulting in a largely unreadable display anyone know how to fix this? [03:49] I've been using the shell and hfsprogs, actually... [03:49] thats how i put ubuntu on my imac [03:49] n2diy: What is the output of "/usr/bin/firefox" run from your main user? [03:49] I'll check gparted in a second, once the comp boots up... [03:49] ruan, This doesn't bring the font rendering back :\ [03:50] xrdodrx: what about the 4 rendering types at the bottom? [03:50] n2diy: isntall google chrome and be done with it! [03:50] Jordan_U, Firefox is already running or not responding, you need to close it.... [03:50] ruan, oh, duh. XD thanks! [03:50] OK. gparted open. [03:50] xrdodrx: lol, no problem [03:50] agreimann, also if you need to copy the mbr over, there are plenty of example on how to do that (so you can use yaboot) in the grub or lilo boot manager how to pages [03:50] n2diy: did you try rebooting your system? that should fix it. [03:51] n2diy: Try "cd /tmp/" then "/usr/bin/firefox". [03:51] jack, I've rebooted a dozen times, purged, removed and reinstalled too. [03:51] ruan, yeah, it's just that after you get used to seeing it for so long everything looks weird in a different font :) [03:51] kitty_, thank you, but I'm trying to repair a PowerPC. :) [03:51] n2diy: you sould run the following command and pastebin it: `ps aexo pid,user,cmd` [03:51] powerpc, imac same difference [03:51] xrdodrx: personally i dont mind the ubuntu font and rendering [03:51] It's using an OpenFirmware map. [03:52] n2diy: have you tried something like firefox -P? [03:52] OK... gparted cannot resize the partition. [03:52] It's locked. [03:52] Jordan_U, nothing happens, I'm returned to the prompt. [03:52] Don't know why. [03:52] is it the partition that you booted from? [03:52] agreimann: Do you have hfsprogs installed? Did you make sure the partition isn't mounted? [03:52] cause it cant resize partitions that are mounted === debsan is now known as sansen [03:53] I have emacs running on ubuntu10.1o, sometimes on emacs the text appears to display on top of other text, resulting in a largely unreadable display anyone know how to fix this? [03:53] It is unmounted. [03:53] n2diy: Interesting, and "pgrep firefox" shows no output? [03:53] !who | kitty_ [03:53] kitty_: 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 :) [03:53] I've installed hfsprogs before. Gparted still can't work properly. [03:53] Jordan_U, correct. === q_a_z_steve is now known as zz_q_a_z_steve [03:54] Can I uncap dd? That's my basic question. :) [03:54] All I need to do is restore the hard disk. [03:55] agreimann uncap dd how? [03:55] agreimann: You are confused. dd is not "capped" and nothing needs to be "uncapped". [03:55] n2diy: you sould run the following command and pastebin it: `ps aexo pid,user,cmd` [03:56] agreimann: if you want to push directly to disk you can use oflag=direct [03:56] if thats what you mean o_O [03:56] agreimann, as i said before, when you point dd at the actual device not a partition, its going to copy everything to the new destination and if you HAD a partition table with a 40gb entry on it, it will be gone and you will now have an EXACT copy of your source device [03:56] ... Mouse lag... seriously. mouse lag. [03:56] I have a new ubuntu installation and I have mouse lag. [03:56] agreimann, hence why you always end up with a 8gb partition table on a 40gb hd [03:56] What I mean by "uncap" is that I'd like the 7.3 GB flash drive to restore to the 40 GB HDD without shrinking it down to 7.3 GB when done. I hope I'm making a little more sense. Thank you, kitty_, jack_, and Jordan_U. [03:57] Processor usage is 2% average. [03:57] My processor is displaying incorrect speeds in the system monitor though. [03:57] Hello, Ok, so i got this GENIUS tablet with cordless pen, but is not working in Ubuntu 10.10, I know the tablet is fine beacuse the LED responds to the touch of the pen, but the cursor wont move [03:57] agreimann, can you pastebin the output for "fdisk -l" ? [03:57] agreimann: i dont think the disk is shrinking. its probably your partition. you sould be able to grow it to fillt he filesystem after the dd [03:58] jack_, you'd mentioned oflag earlier? What would this flag do in dd? [03:58] agreimann: Just dd "if=/dev/small_flash_drive of=/dev/large_hard_drive" then expand the partition on large_hard_drive using gparted. [03:58] agreimann: direct makes the IO go directly to disk instead of being cached in memory [03:58] agreimann: do you need any of the data on the usb drive atm? [03:59] agreimann: jack_: direct IO is not at all apllicable to this problem. [03:59] agreimann: check the man page for flags [03:59] ChogyDan: OS X is imaged to the flash drive. [03:59] سلام [03:59] jack, how can I pastebin it without Firefox? [03:59] n2diy: use chrome [04:00] agreimann: when you say the disk shrinks, are you talking about the partition? if so, cant you just extend the partition after the copy? [04:00] jack_, n2diy you could always install the nice command line utility PASTEBINIT! [04:00] jack_, I'd like to, but gparted won't let me. === sly is now known as sonic4732 [04:00] kitty_: does that really exist? if so, thats awesome [04:00] I've went through the process several times trying to fix it. :) [04:00] agreimann: Have you already dd'd the contents of one drive to the other? [04:00] agreimann: try using hte gparted livecd [04:01] why would ubuntu show me the wrong content for a samba server (showing me the content of the wrong server) [04:01] Dirtyfrench: you're doing something wrong. :P [04:01] Dirtyfrench: what do your samba logs say? [04:01] do they see incomming connections? [04:01] jack_, would using the oflag value let the 40 GB disk retain it's space? [04:01] jack_, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/569447/ [04:02] how do i get the samba logs ? [04:02] my windows machine show me the proper content [04:02] agreimann, no it would not, as when you point DD to the DEVICE it will copy the DATA from exactly, starting with the 8gb partition table [04:02] agreimann: it wouldn't. i was trying to figure out what you were talking about when you asked how to uncap dd. [04:02] Dirtyfrench: it could be a typo somewhere [04:02] Can I modify the starting data that says "8 GB" then, to something larger? [04:02] Dirtyfrench: they're in /var/log [04:03] it isnt i just click on hte server in network [04:03] yes, do me a favor agreimann pastebin the output from fdisk -l [04:03] agreimann: yes. thats what gparted does :P [04:03] it show the right server name but the content is wrong [04:03] Dirtyfrench: perhaps its showing the wrong server name but the right content [04:03] agreimann: hrm, well, when I make a startup disk with my pen drive, I end up loosing the space used for some reason. But I get it back by wiping the drive : ( [04:03] Dirtyfrench: what if you use smbclient? does that do the same thing === zz_q_a_z_steve is now known as q_a_z_steve [04:04] fdisk -l won't exactly help here, since I'm redoing the existing table from a messed up dual OS X/Ubuntu install anyway. [04:04] /slap [04:04] agreimann: There is no need to do anything with the "starting" data before dd'ing to the larger drive. You have multiple people telling you the same thing, trust us :) [04:04] agreimann what command are you using to copy from your flash install? [04:04] dd if=/dev/sda (the flash drive) of=/dev/hda (the hard disk) [04:05] jack, kitty, hell, Chrome is working, what do I need Firefox for? === Aaron5367 is now known as Aaron5367|detach [04:05] that will copy everything, including your partition table. you'll have sda1 that will be ~8GB and the rest will be unallocated space [04:05] how can i find out which desktops i have installed and how to launch them? i have a friend who uses text based login and thinks he installed several different desktops but he is not sure which ones or how to launch them. [04:05] n2diy++ [04:05] n2diy: next you'll ask yourself why you didnt' do htis sooner? [04:05] rtdos: what do you mean by 'desktops'? [04:06] agreimann: Have you actually done the dd yet? [04:06] OS installations? [04:06] jack, never occured to me, thanks. [04:06] n2diy: heh. chrome is sooo much better [04:06] actually it won't be unallocated space it will be space that isn't even assigned in the partition table as being there, you'll have to load up fdisk /dev/hda and go into expert mode (x) and use it to fix the partition table to use the whole drive [04:06] Jordan_U, parted works. Can I use it over gparted? [04:06] jack_ : gnome, kde, openbox, etc. [04:06] lol, firefox still has the addon advantage [04:06] Yes--running dd now. [04:07] rtdos: ah gotcha. i think you can check the metapackages. im unsure of the command. [04:07] agreimann: Yes. Since they both use libparted to do the actual work. [04:07] gparted is just the graphical frontend for parted [04:07] I'm better with the shell than the GUI. :) [04:07] that's terrible. haha [04:08] agreimann: Ok, highlight me (use my nick in a comment) once the dd is finished and you are actually ready to resize the partition on the larger drive. [04:08] if i was agreimann i'd do a quick copy of your mbr dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/hda size=1kb count=512, then i'd go back in and fdisk /dev/hda and erase the partition table and start a new one, then i'd go and do the dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/hda1 count=sizeofdisk, but thats just me... [04:08] jack_ how do i check the metapackages? [04:08] wouldn't it be easier to create the partition on your disk the way you want it and then copy the contents over? [04:08] OK--should be at least ~30% done by now. [04:08] rtdos: im unsure but i htink there is a ubuntu wiki page on metapackages [04:08] is flash inevitably going to be extremely resource-heavy in ubuntu? [04:08] rtdos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages [04:09] if so, this just reinforces my idea that this might be a nice place for me to get work done without the distraction of youtube or tvtropes, lol [04:09] kitty_, when I do that, it breaks Tiger from booting. [04:09] thanks, jack) [04:09] place as in, my ubuntu computer [04:09] GMH: haha. [04:10] So I'm stuck using dd as an option. [04:10] GMH: i guess it depends on your system. [04:10] well, my system has little RAM, and relatively less processor speed [04:10] Oh, btw, running from the Live CD. [04:10] well then agreimann i have a suggestion, just as i've had to do many times,... re-run the install/setup/configure program for your boot manager after you copy all your crap over, and it should beable to fix itself [04:10] so at first i had gnome and everything was craizly slow [04:11] and i realized that stuff was using up to 90% memory [04:11] GMH, switch to fluxbox. ;) [04:11] so i got lubuntu and now the limiting factor is my processor [04:11] GMH: how did you check that? [04:11] agreimann: i tried; dunno how to get internet to work; people here helped me set up lubuntu [04:11] jack_: check what? [04:11] GMH: that it was taking up 90% of your memory? [04:12] system monitor [04:12] GMH, open a virtual shell and type in "apt-get install fluxbox" (no quotes). [04:12] what am i supposed to look for in the logs ? [04:12] agreimann: did that already, did that last night. [04:12] I just installed the latest (Jaunty?) on my old tower with a nvidia GeForce video card, and I can't get resolution above 800x600, which is unusable! [04:12] If the Internet doesn't work, have you tried diagnosing the problem? [04:12] Dirtyfrench: incoming requests [04:12] Is there anything I can do, any kind of drivers I can install to get higher resolution? [04:12] apt-get install makemynotebookuseless [04:13] clarkfischer_: jaunty is no longer supported [04:13] Dirtyfrench: you will need to check on the smb server [04:13] xangua: then not jaunty [04:13] it's whatever the latest is, I literally just downloaded it from ubuntu.com an hour ago [04:13] agreimann: not sure how to diagnose it. networks ettings or whatever it was called detects it. [04:13] clarkfischer_: install the nvidia drivers [04:13] this nvidia process is killing me [04:13] jack_: 'additional drivers' already installed them for me. === mike is now known as Guest15174 [04:13] ohsix: which repo is that in? [04:13] It installed an nvidia settings program which only has 800x600 resolutions and below.. [04:14] clarkfischer_: did you install "current" drivers? [04:14] agreimann, http://mac.linux.be/content/yaboot [04:14] yeah [04:14] it said 'recommended' [04:14] i am having problems mounting my ntfs partition. i managed to screw up the boot table so i am now just trying to salvage the data on the drive [04:14] Anyone ever experience an issue with Ubuntu server where network connectivity will drop out randomly until the keyboard is pressed? (as if the machine were hibernating...doesn't appear to be the case though) [04:15] lqgr00ve: sudo fdisk -l [04:15] clarkfischer_: is the monitor properly detected? [04:15] ChogyDan: Yeah, as far as I can tell. [04:15] 5.2/7.3 GB copied, everyone. Thanks for your help so far. :) [04:15] It's actually an HDTV, and there are some cable-conversions going on, but it knows it's manufacturer/model [04:15] clarkfischer_: download them from nvidia's site [04:16] lqgr00ve: what type of problem? [04:16] jack_: I've done so, but it tells me I'm 'running x server' and I can't figure out how to not be running x-server [04:16] NMH, can you try running ifconfig? [04:16] jack_: aren't those incompatible with Ubuntu? [04:16] clarkfischer_: you need to switch to runlevel 3 [04:16] stop gdm doesn't help [04:16] jack_: how might I do that? [04:16] ChogyDan: those what? nvidia drivers? no. i use them on my boxee machine. [04:16] clarkfischer_: eeeeeeeeeeeh in the most recent im unsure. i think there is a forum post about it [04:16] ruan: ok fdisk shows the drive - now how do i access it? [04:16] how do i setup the database in the backend of mythbuntu? [04:17] lqgr00ve: get the drive name; eg. sda1 or sdb1 [04:17] lqgr00ve: mount it. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt (for example) [04:17] What is a good chatroom for Internet security? [04:17] jack_: yeah... that's what I heard [04:17] 1 GB to go, everyone. :) [04:17] ChogyDan: i use them on my 10.04 machine. they are not incompatible. [04:18] lqgr00ve: the command i use to mount my ntfs drive is: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/ntfs [04:18] agreimann: what happens in 1 GB? :) [04:18] ruan: isnt' the mount command smart enough to figure out the type? [04:18] is there any free ssh tunneling or vpn? ask here because i don't want those with win app download. [04:18] cordor: in ubuntu? [04:18] cordor: PuTTY will do SSH tunnelling on windows fairly easily [04:18] A command I'm running--dd--finishes copying. I'm keeping a few people posted. :) [04:18] jack_: yeah but i got this command from a 2002 forum lol [04:18] is there a way for me to check my system info in ubuntu? [04:19] as far as VPN, I've had success in the past using mpd as the VPN server and connecting with the default Windows VPN client [04:19] ruan: nice heh [04:19] awesome [04:19] GMH, run hardinfo. [04:19] GMH: which system info? [04:19] GMH: which part of the system? cpu, gfx, hdd? [04:19] For memory stats, run free, and try "cat /proc/cpuinfo" for your cpu. [04:19] memory stats: cat /proc/meminfo [04:19] ^its awesome [04:20] how do i uninstall lubuntu [04:20] nono, i am asking free ssh tunneling or vpn account or something encrypted browsing. WITHOUT winapp download. [04:20] ruan: is there a gfx monitoring command? [04:20] WeThePeople: How did you install it? [04:20] was just thinking, in general, like, if there's something akin to how windows can tell me that, say, i'm running on a whatever processor with what speed and how much RAM total [04:20] and some other info [04:20] WeThePeople: format the partition [04:20] jack_: my nvidia X server shows me all of my info [04:20] cordor: on ubuntu? cant you just do ssh -gL :: localhost? [04:20] GMH: You'll need hardinfo for that. [04:20] note: not a server [04:20] mGMH: Run in Terminal "uname -a" [04:20] cordor: what OS are you running? [04:20] ruan: where is that? how do you get ot that? [04:20] xangua, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [04:21] on Ubuntu you can just do what Jack said [04:21] If you want basic, comprehensive info for individual hardware, run separate commands. [04:21] jack_: it was installed with my drivers to System>administration>nvidia x server [04:21] jack_, jim_ : looking for an account. not software. [04:21] ruan: ah nice. [04:21] cordor: do you have a ssh server you can access? [04:21] Data copied successfully, everyone. [04:21] overclucker: no. [04:21] cordor: an account? [04:21] GMH: Run in Terminal "uname -a" (typo'd your name the first time) -- if you want a GUI go to System->Administration->System Monitor [04:21] Restarting into OS X. [04:21] ruan: no dice. no ntfs signature [04:21] cordor, jack__ : I think he's looking for an SSH-tunnel-service provider [04:21] GMH: also, top and ps wills how nice output [04:21] lqgr00ve: this is a crashed harddisk? [04:22] Depending on what I see this time, I might need the Live CD. :) [04:22] like how anonymizer provides a free proxy server (if that still exists) [04:22] if mount cant mount it, it means you have a damaged superblock. you'll need to run a fsck on it. [04:22] Starminn, sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [04:22] jack_ it isn't crashed but i undoubtedly screwed it up during my past linux install [04:22] Hello everyone, I had a quick question please. I was thinking of setting up ssh on my home ubuntu machine so I can access it from anywhere. How secure is this connection? [04:22] jim_: yes. or i remember there was a linux app that do p2p vpn thing. [04:22] hello [04:22] WeThePeople: So you're not trying to uninstall Ubuntu, you're just trying to uninstall the Lubuntu desktop. [04:22] g0r33k: very secure... [04:22] g0r33k: ssh is encrypted so it shoudl be secure, but its vunerable to like.. brute force attacks [04:23] newbie here [04:23] Starminn, yes [04:23] ahaziah77: hi newbie [04:23] needs some assistance [04:23] ahaziah77: sounds fun [04:23] ahaziah77: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [04:23] jack_: in other words - dont pick an easy password. Right? [04:23] ruan: worst case scenerio - how would i go about fixing it? [04:23] g0r33k: sure. [04:23] g0r33k: and you can setup rules to lock people out after 3 times and stuff [04:23] lol....ok, such a newb, dont know how [04:23] lqgr00ve: as he said, do a fsck on the drive [04:23] I see. Thankyou :) [04:23] cordor: have you played with yet? [04:23] if you can do that. you'll be fine. i have an open ssh server and i dont have any problems [04:23] ahaziah77: whats up? === JayPhill89_ is now known as designfears|bunt [04:24] anyone ever have cause to turn acpi=off in their grub conf? I'm assuming if I do that, I won't be able to reboot remotely? [04:24] cordor: meant to say have you played with tor yet? [04:24] !ssh | g0r33k [04:24] g0r33k: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [04:24] well for one, i came up with more questions just getting to this irc chat, like how to know where i am going and what chat or channel im on [04:24] jim__: yes. im not sure what type of reboot, but sometimes things issue an acpi reboot which, if the s ystem is frozen for exmaple, woudl do nothing. [04:25] woohoo, swapoff is fun [04:25] overclucker: it was development stage, and i don't remeber the name now. i need something that secure kinda like open wifi connection. [04:25] kitty_: ya it is! [04:25] jack_: I may just have to try it. Have this bizarre issue where my machine will stop responding to network requests until I hit a key on the keyboard [04:25] but the main reason i was seeking help was to move files, when i try to move a file its telling me that the directory is not empty [04:25] what does that mean [04:25] ? [04:25] jack_, kitty_, in OS X. It did it. However, when opening Disk Utility, it shows exactly what I thought. [04:25] jim__: strangeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. [04:25] seems to happen randomly, the only thing I can think of is that ACPI is telling it to standby for some reason [04:25] still have a 8gb partition? [04:25] A tiny partition where OS X is, and a glob of free space. [04:25] Also, this may be a silly question but, am i able to point my domain name at my static ip address and then use that instead of the ip to ssh to my home machine? [04:26] jim__: go ahead and disable it and see if it makes a difference. also, i think there is an acpid that runs. i know there is in fedora. not sure about ubuntu [04:26] Actually, 7.33 GB approximately. [04:26] g0r33k: sure [04:26] g0r33k: yes. [04:26] can you boot your flash drive on that computer still? [04:26] And 29.81 GB wasted. [04:26] Thanks jack_ & jrib [04:26] g0r33k: my server is www.jack-server.com. try sshing to it. [04:26] kitty_, flash drives aren't supported on this model. [04:26] does anyone know of a multi-user playlist queueing plugin for any musicplayer/jukebox? [04:26] cause if you can, then you should be able to load gparted or parted or mac-fdisk and fix it [04:26] cordor: I either use Tor, ir ssh tunneling when I use public wifi. with ssh, I tunnel to my home ssh server [04:26] jack__: any other ideas come to mind on that issue? The hardware is old-ish but high quality (tyan motherboard) and nothing in the logs suggests hardware problems [04:26] agreimann: Now open up GParted and resize the partition. [04:26] though I may replace the nic just to see if that does anything [04:26] ahaziah77: what exactly are you doing and how? [04:27] jim__: just no network activity until you hit a key? is that just while sitting on the desktop? maybe there is somekind of power-saving thing occuring [04:27] Jordan_U: I'm rebooting into Linux now. [04:27] From a Live CD, that is. [04:27] WeThePeople: Try just doing this but replacing it for Lubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95881 [04:27] just downloading some skins for vlc, been a life long windows user, installed ubuntu this past week so whole new world for me, but i was trying to get experience with the terminal.......... [04:27] jack_: it's actually a fresh install of server edition - no gui installed. I thought it was freezing up because my SSH session (even from the local network) would freeze and then eventually disconnect [04:27] Ok, so I was following some instructions about building some drivers for a Tablet with ./configure --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/lib/xorg/modules [04:27] make && sudo make install Wich worked without any errors, but now, when i try to locate the driver like this, it gives me this output osmodivs@Djiin:~/xorg-input-wizardpen-0.8.0$ ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.* [04:27] ls: cannot access /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/wizardpen_drv.*: No such file or directory [04:27] . So did I did something wrong? [04:27] NooBoontoo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:28] jim__: if you ping it from another client does it stop responding to icmp? [04:28] Thanks jack_, I see what you mean. Btw, what is the encryption key message i got? [04:28] but I found that if I run downstairs and hit a key fast enough, the SSH connection comes back [04:28] interestingly enough, if you make a boot cd agreimann, that has your linux kernel on it and the options to point it to your flash drive as root (use uuid if you have to) then it will work just fine, you'll have to boot the cdrom to mount your flash as root device [04:28] ahaziah77: tell us what you are executing and show us the full output (use http://paste.ubuntu.com) [04:28] agreimann: thanks, hardinfo is what i wanted [04:28] jack_: yep, stops responding to pings as well [04:28] ok. this is for anyone who has much experience with raid5 arrays. i have 3 newish disks (2 new, 1 used) that i am using for a raid5 array, i built the array, but it says degraded, recovering. is that normal or should i be concerned? [04:28] overclucker: i don't have the ssh server part. i need either a free shell account which allow ssh tunneling, or free vpn account. or some p2p app that do the job. [04:28] WeThePeople: The apps you'll have to uninstall by yourself, but the desktop wshould be taken care of by just the opposite of installing it -- sudo apt-get remove lubuntu-desktop (theoretically) [04:28] g0r33k: its asking if you want to accept it as a known ssh server. that way if somebody tries to fake you out it'll notify you that hte key is different [04:28] No problem, GMH. :) [04:28] then you shouldn't have any problem with resizing partitions cause you shouldn't have any of them mounted on the destination drive. [04:28] anyways, i'm sleepy [04:28] Starminn, ok i will try [04:28] hello- I have ubuntu 10.10, and an application I run just posted a nice notification of an upgrade. I could swear it had a link on it.. you know, pops up in the lower right hand corner.. where do I find that? it only lasted a moment [04:28] thx [04:29] i have the skins in downloads dir, but need to move them to .local/share/vlc/skins2 [04:29] dbb: which application? [04:29] dbb: is it a driver upgrade? [04:29] ahaziah77: tell us what you are executing and show us the full output (use http://paste.ubuntu.com) [04:29] dbb: oh nvm [04:29] ahaziah77: I am asking you to literally copy and paste what is in your terminal [04:29] jack ruan its komodo [04:29] k [04:29] !who | ahaziah77 [04:29] ahaziah77: 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 :) [04:29] dbb: open up komodo and upgrade manually? [04:29] jack_: Could you please explain what you mean by fake me out? [04:30] ruan you dont know [04:30] ahaziah77: you cannot move directories without the recursive flag [04:30] ruan: it appears that i've managed to format the drive - is there any chance of data recovery still? [04:30] ahaziah77: mv -R /folder /new/folder [04:30] Jordan_U, getting to the desktop. [04:30] ruan: fdisk is showing linux partition types [04:30] bastidrazor, if it's set in the daemon mode, shouldn't it run in the background and update my IP each time? Instead I have to manually execute the script ipUpdate.pl each time to update to dnsexit. [04:30] aaron@aaron-laptop:~$ mv /home/aaron/Downloads/Backgrounds /home/aaron/Pictures [04:30] mv: cannot move `/home/aaron/Downloads/Backgrounds' to `/home/aaron/Pictures/Backgrounds': Directory not empty [04:30] Apologize about the delay. [04:30] ahaziah77: you need to use the recurive flag [04:30] -R [04:30] i think [04:30] bastidrazor, I'm sorry, did you post a reply to that msg? [04:30] OK. [04:30] f force [04:30] lqgr00ve: im not sure [04:30] ahaziah77: mv -R /home/aaron/Downloads/Backgrounds /home/aaron/Pictures [04:30] mv: cannot move `/home/aaron/Downloads/Backgrounds' to `/home/aaron/Pictures/Background [04:30] Upon opening gparted, I get a weird result... [04:30] whoops [04:30] double line. bad [04:31] jack_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:31] ahaziah77, you cannot overwrite folders [04:31] ok - I quick google says the notification is gone after it appears.. it was so fast.. bummer [04:31] It actually will either quit, or say that the disk is "unallocated". [04:31] actually you can in MacOSX, which gives ALOT lulz [04:31] agreimann: the entire disk? [04:31] jack_, sorry, shoulda read into that more, forgot i had a backgrounds already in there [04:31] does anyone know any data recovery utilities that might be handy? [04:31] jack_: Yep. [04:32] agreimann, are you sure it contain(ed) partitions? [04:32] agreimann: What is the output of "sudo parted -l"? [04:32] lqgr00ve: if its ntfs there are probalby a few for windows. [04:32] jack_, i see now [04:32] ahaziah77: first, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com instead of pasting multiple lines in the channel in the future. Secondly, you already have a non-empty Backgrounds folder in /home/aaron/Pictures. You should instead copy the files inside /home/aaron/Downloads/Backgrounds (by using: /home/aaron/Downloads/Backgrounds/*) to /home/aaron/Pictures/Backgrounds [04:32] But... oddly enough, parted lists out 10 partitions. [04:32] ahaziah77: yes. put the -R flag in there. it will recursively copy [04:32] Jordan_U, I was ahead of you on that. :) [04:32] jack_ ok thank you. [04:32] ruan: thank you. [04:32] jack_, ahaziah77: mv does not have -R switch [04:33] lqgr00ve: what h [04:33] jrib: really? hmmm [04:33] ahaziah77: how about: mv /home/aaron/Downloads/Backgrounds/* /home/aaron/Pictures/Backgrounds [04:33] Thanks so far for keeping with the "disk partitions" thing. It's helping a lot. :) [04:33] Ideas, anyone? [04:33] jack_: cp and rm, but not mv [04:33] ok, so what is that http://paste deal [04:34] I'll try using parted to make a new partition. Again, strange why gparted doesn't like this comp... [04:34] wow. how strange. plus i just checked on my machine and i was able to move a non-empty directory [04:34] ahaziah77: http://paste.ubuntu.com , you use it to paste lines you want to show us (give us the url when you are done). That way you don't flood the channel [04:34] ahaziah77: instead of dumnping here, you can dump somewhere else and provide us a link [04:34] !paste [04:34] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [04:34] oh, ok [04:34] got ya [04:35] jack_, parted did it! [04:35] jack_, cool, ok, i got that down [04:35] hooray! [04:35] I have a ext2 partition between 8 GB and 40 GB. [04:35] jack_: do this: mkdir -p a/b b; touch a/b/c b/d; mv b a [04:36] is ubuntu and kubuntu power management the same? [04:36] Jordan_U, can I merge the two partitions as one? If I format as hfs+, that is? === squishy is now known as SquishyNotHere [04:37] jrib: nice. i wonder why that works that way. [04:37] Ubuntu is killing about 300mhz out of my cpu [04:37] can I ask sth.? [04:37] I'd like to mount some cifs network shares in fstab, but they are on a WPA2 wireless network, so the system hangs on boot when trying to mount them since it doesn't have a network connection yet. How can I fix this? [04:37] !ask [04:37] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:37] Arney, check your power management settings. [04:37] oops [04:37] manca_, related to ubuntu, sure [04:38] I did "scaling_available_frequencies" it says 1300000... when my processor is 1666000 [04:38] Yes. [04:38] the max one that is. [04:38] How do I do that? [04:38] The G4 processor is *much* weirder, trust me. [04:38] It's not exactly that Ubuntu is eating it up. [04:38] It's that your cpu is scaled down to save power. [04:39] i have msi wind u90, ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 ... and my wirwlwss driver is not working properly ... [04:39] Try plugging your PC in, shutting down, then rebooting. [04:39] :O g4 is art compared to x86 [04:39] jack_, OK, so can you tell me what is wrong with this [04:39] what can i do? [04:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/569455/ [04:39] Your full speed should come back. [04:39] madsailor: try adding _netdev to the options. [04:39] wireless* [04:39] ahaziah77: you need to mv the files within the directory. or you could do a recursive copy and then just remove the folder when its done. :P [04:39] manca_, what chipset [04:39] Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8187SE Wireless LAN Controller ... that? [04:40] ocrud [04:40] agreimann: Why are you trying to "merge" filesystems? Why not just resize the partition/filesystem? [04:40] manca_, does it show in ifconfig [04:40] Jordan_U: Can't. I'm in OS X now to see what Disk Utility will do. [04:40] the problem is that its saying that the maximum speed is 300mghz lower then the real maximum [04:40] jack_, oops, sorry gave u the wrong link, hang on [04:41] jack_, thanks. [04:41] jack_: you should really think of mv as renaming [04:41] agreimann: You never pastebin'd the output of "sudo parted -l".

[04:47] AND: Download xorg.conf to your home folder and copy the file to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, but i am not sure about messing with the Xorg files [04:47] a123456789: Try using jockey-gtk. [04:48] upgrade problem lost video sigNal 9.10 to 10.04 [04:48] ok ,i try ,thank [04:48] How do I execute the following command, "/etc/init.d/ipUpdate start " , in a cron job? (what is a line if I want to execute it every hour?) [04:49] myradlife [04:49] er [04:49] myradlife: you dont want to do that from init.d, stuff in init.d is run at startup already [04:49] myradlife: @hourly /etc/init.d/ipUpdate start [04:49] would run it every hour [04:49] but read what raido said [04:50] most providers would not like people contacting them on the hour ... :D [04:50] raido, I'm not sure what you mean by that. init.d is run at startup already? [04:50] theres a place you can run it from only when your address changes [04:51] myradlife, if your system is setup properly, when you boot up your machine (or server), everything that is inside of /etc/init.d/ will run if properly configured. [04:51] fire fox was using 200% of the cpu... wtf [04:51] lol 200% [04:51] myradlife: anything in init.d is executed upon system start. You likely just need to read the instruction on ipUpdate and configure it to do what you want, i.e. update hourly [04:52] prolly a small system monitor bug. [04:52] myradlife, here is a nice web based gui page i (just) found, http://www.corntab.com/pages/crontab-gui that seems like it will help you create proper crontab entries [04:52] lol, again, now with empathy. 200% [04:52] Arney: it means it was maxing out both cores on a dual core [04:52] interesting way to measure percentages. [04:52] raido, jon8 , i'll try those, thanks [04:52] I have a strange issue, an executable is not accepting a chmod .. http://pastebin.com/LQGpQf3e [04:52] myradlife you're welcome.

[04:56] hi [04:56] what's the chances of two drives, quite probably from the same batch, failing according to the logs... at the same exact time? yes i know not directly ubuntu related [04:56] Starminn alternatives have already been recommended. [04:56] i'm from santiago of chilr [04:56] chile [04:57] Ritlee chances could be great if there the drives were manufactures closely together (time wise) and there was a production problem that went unnoticed. contact the manufacture. [04:57] Ritlee: much higher than two drives from different batches failing at the same time [04:57] Ritlee: I bet it happens to Google hourly. [04:57] hey [04:57] !ask [04:57] raido i bet it doesnt. google most likely buys very high end enterprise drives [04:57] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[05:04] I'm a moderately competent ubuntu user. I use emacs, orgmode, xmonad & screen every day. I'm wondering if there's anything else that powerusers use that could help my productivity. Any ideas? [05:04] jack_, thanks [05:04] ahaziah77: :D [05:04] I just git clone'd ubuntu's maverick kerne.ubuntu.com repository, where is the kernel config that ubuntu uses?

I saw something about it but it warned of a possible buffer overflow. Im using xChat and thought there might be a configuration setting I was missing.

[05:06] Jordan_U thanks, i will do that. [05:06] yes [05:07] doug9: try disabling the nouveau driver in the kernel options [05:07] or uninstalling it [05:07] threenutz they will make it look like this: @unaffiliated/jon8 .. as you can see if you do /whois jon8 [05:07] threenutz: You're welcome.

[05:40] MelGibson: are these GUI applications? [05:40] command line [05:40] so you want to run windows command line applications from linux? [05:40] pdflatex myfile.tex bibtex myfile.bib [05:41] no, the other way [05:41] you're looking for an ssh client for windows? [05:41] sacarlson: I'm pretty sure the system has not crashed. the hd light continues to flicker as it usually does in the opening stages of booting [05:41] MelGibson: can you not use ssh? [05:41] I was surprised to ssh in and find my byobu session still going. That normal? [05:41] <_marx_> lol [05:41] doug9: i have the same issue on my fedora box. its the new drivers. they dont work correclty with newer cards. [05:41] how do you think i new you had nvidia? :P [05:41] meltphace, no i know of SSH clients. i was wondering if there is a service that lets me log onto someone else's machien just to run a few commands every hour or so [05:42] MelGibson: .. an ssh client [05:42] ;P [05:42] jack_, yeah but i don't have a linux machine to SSH into [05:42] my hd light doesnt even flicker on ubuntu [05:42] MelGibson: ssh [05:42] NinjaJeff: That's the entire point of screen (byobu is just a set of profiles an scripts for screen). [05:42] so maybe i should just run 9.10 and wait? [05:42] ohhh [05:42] MelGibson: wat. so you want to run commands from a windows machine on nothing? [05:42] he wants a shell account i think [05:42] there are still a few sites around which offer free shell accounts [05:42] but why not just setup latex in cygwin or native latex and run it from msys or something [05:42] meltphace, yeah i think something like that would work. but i need those commands specifically. i wouldn't have su to install pdflatex [05:43] latex on windows is very similar to latex on linux ;P [05:43] meltphace becuase that is a pain in the arse and never works for me. it's one of the most poorly user friendly experiences i've had [05:43] Jordan_U: Interesting. Does it maintain my login, then? [05:44] If I detach from my current session, how can I get back to it? [05:44] NinjaJeff: screen -r [05:44] NinjaJeff: Yes. "logging in" is not as statefull as you probably think. [05:44] thank you all [05:45] would a shell account usually have pdflatex for instance? [05:45] I'm going to wait for U to make Nvidia work [05:45] for me?! [05:45] hehe [05:45] doug9: its not hard to blacklist the driver. you need to edit the kernel parameter. just add 'rdblacklist=nouveau' to the end [05:45] that'll stop it from loading and you should get gui [05:46] Jordan_U: Would another user on the machine see my username in a who? [05:46] MelGibson: maybe. depends on the service [05:46] Thanks, meltphace. [05:46] MelGibson: it really makes more sense to just run linux or cygwin if you really need these things [05:46] NinjaJeff: Yes. [05:46] miktex is also really easy to setup, esp with texniccenter [05:46] thanks jack, doug out [05:46] <_marx_> oh gee i must go have a smoke now yall crack me up! [05:47] meltphace i'm not going to just run linux [05:47] jack_: doug9_: I'm not sure but another option might be to create a xorg.conf file to tell it what driver you want to use on your nvidia card [05:48] Hey guys. I'm trying to install kubuntu (but that channel is dead silent) and running into some trouble. I believe I'm suffering from the issue with nvidia cards, powermizer, and resulting screen flicker. I see two similar solutions online, but both refer to files that no longer seem to exist in 10.04. [05:48] One refers to /etc/modprobe.d/options, which doesn't exist anymore, and the other refers to xorg.conf, which doesn't exist anymore. [05:48] Nvidia narcosis [05:48] doug9_: but personaly I don't upgrade unless needed. if 9.1 works stick with it, if it was an upgrade you might even be able to just move back one version of kernel in your grub settings [05:49] By way of background, let me say that I really, really want to become a linux user, but every single time I've tried over the past ten years or so, I've hit a debilitating problem that nobody can explain or solve and I end up using Windows for another few years. [05:49] Will you help me break the cycle? Please? :) [05:49] why don't you try ubuntu? [05:49] also 10.10, not 10.04 [05:49] hmm whats the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu [05:49] KDE versus GNOME. [05:49] ah [05:50] gui is not only what differenciate distribution [05:50] Rask: xorg.conf exists, but if it's not there, it uses defaults. You can still create one. [05:50] SwedeMike: Ok. How do I do that? [05:50] Rask: well if you really want to use it, KDE i sn't a _great_ start [05:50] My PSP used to work properly on Maverick, but then I restarted and now it shows up in Maverick, but doesn't let me go into it or see what's on it or anything, how do I fix this? [05:50] I mean, the website I found suggests a way to modify xorg.conf, but I dunno about starting with a totally blank slate... [05:50] MelGibson: then what are you doing in #ubuntu you silly [05:51] trying to get X forwarding on SSH, have the options set to yes in both ssh_config and sshd_config trying ssh -X but no display variale shows up... [05:52] Rask: http://tinypaste.com/3b49f is mine for instance, you can create it and just use a few subsections. [05:52] I was listening to a song, then the sound on my computer suddenly stopped again.. Why does it keep doing this!? [05:53] Chikokishi: sounds like pulseaudio is dying, how fast is your machine? if it uses too much cpu it tends to kill itself (but you can change the resampler so it uses less cpu) [05:54] hello is this the Ubuntu help irc chat? [05:54] My computer is only a couple months old. Its fast enough to play regular games and watch dvds and such [05:54] probably something else then [05:54] and the sound has been working for like 6 hours [05:54] craigpemberton: yes [05:54] i love it when people rate the speed of machine based on the date purchased. [05:54] Indecipherable, i mean its not an old machine with a smaller processor. [05:55] Chikokishi: there are brand new computers that are slower than 4 year old ones. [05:55] does anybody here know their way around grub2 and getting it to boot windows7? [05:55] i know... Im just saying (in a simple way) that its fast enough to run music [05:55] craigpemberton, have you messed with your boot? [05:55] craigpemberton, isn't your question to default windows for start ? [05:55] im not sure of its exact speed [05:56] craigpemberton: the first hit on google for is http://erickoo.wordpress.com/2009/06/14/how-to-add-vista-partition-to-grub-2-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ which looks quite comprehensible. [05:56] I have a working windows partition, but I'm having trouble getting grub to accept it [05:56] Chikokishi: i only ask that to rule out a quick swath of problems, brand new netbooks can be "too slow" at times, though [05:56] I've been through that [05:57] hi>> [05:57] Well, iv got a dual core 2.3 ghz proc with 3gb of mem [05:57] craigpemberton: so it already boots ubuntu? it should have created a grub2 entry already, did you look at boot by holding shift key at boot time? === nikhil_away is now known as nikhil_ [05:58] I can edit the menu entry in grub, the issue is that all configurations I have seen result in in this error message: "A disk read error occurred. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart" [05:58] for windows [05:58] craigpemberton, i just sent you a link to a graphical grub customizer that i use [05:58] ubuntu boots fine [05:58] you should give it a try [05:58] trying to get X forwarding on SSH, have the options set to yes in both ssh_config and sshd_config trying ssh -X but no display variale shows up... [05:59] craigpemberton, are you sure you windows partition is fine ? this error seem like not [05:59] craigpemberton, then there's something wrong with your windows install [05:59] ohsix, how do i restart pulse audio? [05:59] Ok, the xorg.conf fix looks more questionable than the modprobe one anyway... can we look back at that one? Basically I'm trying to add a couple 'option' lines to /etc/modprobe.d/options or its equivalent in 10.04. I'm led to understand by the manpage that the equivalent thing here is just to create any old .conf file in /etc/modprobe.d/ so I've done this but it doesn't appear to work. Is there a way to know whether the files have been read pro [06:00] I can read from the windows partition from ubuntu and everything seems to be in place [06:00] hello [06:00] craigpemberton: that sounds like you had a bad shutdown in windows and needs a windows like file check to fix it. I'm not sure linux has anything to fix ntfs files systems [06:01] Chikokishi: if it quit (which it probably has if sound has stopped) it will restart [06:01] I had grub1 down just fine.... this new grub seems like overkill [06:01] ohsix it hasnt yet [06:01] ohsix, restarting my machien doesnt fix it either [06:01] ohsix, last time this happened my computer finally did a " [06:01] yeah had this change too was hard 1st day... [06:01] partial update" then it worked [06:02] did you run grub update already ? [06:02] yeah... i edit my etc/grub.d/11_Windows script, then sudo update-grub, then what i had shows up in my grub.cfg [06:02] Chikokishi: hard to say, there are logs in /var/log that might have something to say about why pulse exited, if it actually did [06:02] then i can boot to the boot loader [06:03] and what i've put is there faithfully [06:03] I've tried a bunch of different things and I've been looking at the grub documentation [06:03] ohsix how do i get there [06:04] var/log? you go there. [06:04] Hey my ubuntu 10.10 doesn't recognize any usb flash drive, it was recongnizing them before, any suggestions? [06:04] Chilaquiles, cleanly remove from windows [06:04] ruan well.. yes.. but like. is that in my computer, is that in documents... Iv only been on ubuntu for 3 days [06:05] Chikokishi: its in filesystem of ubuntu [06:05] bazhang: what? [06:05] craigpemberton: I guess I was wrong there is a tool in linux to fix ntfs file systems called ntfsfix [06:05] Chikokishi: root of drive [06:05] I might just reinstall everything which would be a pain but possibly cleaner....

[06:06] just erase windows then hehe (ok not fun) [06:06] craigpemberton, you might backup your grub to a disk that you can boot off of (ie floopy or usb) that will start your ubuntu install... once that is done, load the windows 7 install disk in your system and boot off it, and repair your win 7 install... i think you may have just a file or two that are critical for windows to start corrupted [06:06] craigpemberton: sounds simple http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/ntfsfix.8.html [06:06] Chilaquiles, go back into windows, then cleanly remove them after syncing the cache [06:07] ruan i dont have permission to see the root folder in my filesystem drive. How do i get there? [06:07] bazhang: sorry but I don't know how to sync the cache [06:07] jack_, cool, appreciate the help, i was able to successfully move and use the skins for vlc [06:07] Chikokishi: i meant the root of the drive, which means the start of the drive [06:07] craigp@goldfoot> sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda5 [06:07] Mounting volume...

[06:11] From the top again :) Hey guys, I'm trying to solve an issue with my nVidia card by putting an option line into /etc/modprobe.d/options - unfortunately that file doesn't exist anymore. Where should I put it instead, and how can I verify that the system has correctly interpreted it? [06:11] ruan: I have that, what do I need to make it to change? I have "new tab" changed, but that doesn't change the loading screen thing [06:11] tech_1, please answer my question instead of simply repeating your question [06:11] bazhang: is that gonna make that my machine can detect all my usb drives? [06:12] Chilaquiles, lets try it and see [06:12] rask would likely go in x11 config [06:13] mycosys: Except it doesn't. The majority of pages I've turned up googling for this have alluded to an option in modprobe. [06:13] Gwar_Trolle: hmm, you could use a universal dark style [06:13] it is installed from james.org [06:13] well used -v to see debug and somehow now it works -,- [06:13] tech_1, and what does that have to do with ubuntu?

[07:03] i tried the nvidia installer... no joy [07:03] schock: which version did you try? [07:03] schock: did you remove the nvidia packages from ubuntu? [07:03] i think i probably created a conflict [07:03] yes [07:04] first i installed w'install drivers' gui [07:04] you need to remove all the nvidia packages from apt [07:04] the drivers in ubuntu are propably too old [07:04] then, later i was following a guide and installed manually from nvidia site [07:04] you have to use the beta driver 270 [07:04] lubosz: from where?

[07:05] nvidia.com, if there is no way to do this by deb [07:05] which i don't know [07:05] i think there could be a ppa around somewhere [07:05] it would be the cleaner solution [07:05] the nvidia installer conflicts with the package managment [07:05] mm [07:05] tim_: how did you try to install it & what happened?

[07:52] I've been following guides for hours and can't figure this out... I'm using ntop as an rflow collector for dd-wrt on port 2055. Problem is, its not receiving data. ntop works to monitor traffic on my computer but not my whole network. Do I need to open port 2055 or is that automatic? [07:53] chipzzz what do you mean? what i get when i do lsmod? [07:54] psyklown: its attempting to use the b43 driver now yeah?? remove the b43 driver and install the STA option, if you dont see it in additional drivers install bcmwl-kernel-source package and then try agin with the additional drivers... [07:54] psyklown: yes, the driver module should show up in lsmod [07:55] iflema i already have the sta option installed and active. like i did in .04 doesnt work. that is why im here. not sure why it isnt working. everything seems to be the same as it was in .04 its just not working for some reason. [07:56] hi, often ssh to a shell server where i run irssi and tcsh in screen. how do i make tcsh update the screen hardstatus line with something useful? how can i make the remote screen session update my gnome-terminal window title? [07:56] psyklown: is the sta module showing up in lsmod? [07:56] QUESTION: i m tryin' to play a game tremulous , but it hangs many time,everytime i have to restart my system. Is there anyway to getout of a game without restarting [07:56] psyklown: in te release notes for 10.10 theres an issue with 4312 adapters being prompted to install b43 [07:57] there [07:57] chipzzz im not sure. i dont see anything referring to it in lsmod. is there a specific place to look in lsmod? [07:57] iflema: he could blacklist the module [07:57] thauriswulfatry ctrl-alt-f1 to get a terminal [07:57] or ssh in [07:57] I just bought a Giada N3 cube and have configured everything except for the audio, which seems not to work. The only thing I get to output is HDMI in stereo, but 5.1 sound doesn't seem to work at all. Does anyone know how to enable this? [07:57] anyone here build livecd's from scratch? [07:57] psyklown: lsmod | grep sta [07:58] iflema so dont use sta and use the other b43 option? seems like i tried that also and it failed [07:58] Chipzzz: sta = wl b43 = b43 ssb [07:59] psyklown: no, prompted for the b43 instead of STA... your case?? [07:59] sacarlson, http://paste.ubuntu.com/569528/ [07:59] iflema it preinstalled sta when i installed ubuntu do i use the other option? [08:00] chipzzz when i do that nothing comes up if i put that in commandline exactly as you typed it [08:00] psyklown: whats the output of lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 [08:01] iflema Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) [08:01] psyklown: it looks like you're using the b43 module, which iflema says is ng... [08:01] psyklown: 1min [08:02] psyklown: STA should be the one... [08:03] iflema lol yeah i know right. it worked in 10.04 just like i have it now. i have no idea whats goin on. [08:03] psyklown: wth atleast support for b/g [08:04] iflema i have came with this before to irc and no one was able to figure it out. i thought i might give it another go and it seems to still do the same thing. [08:04] psyklown: try typing dmesg | grep b43 [08:05] psyklown: check to see if b43 is blacklisted... have you been doing much in the way of manual fixing?? [08:05] iflema no. [08:05] chipzzz i get nothing [08:06] psyklown: how about dmesg | grep sta ? [08:06] iflema i mean... im not sure how to check if its black listed and no i have done no manual fixing === design is now known as designfears_ [08:06] psyklown: hangon i cant remember where the blacklist file is :)\ [08:07] chipzzz yes i get a chuck of text with that [08:07] psyklown: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ?? [08:08] psyklown: so you probably are using the sta module... what does lshw have to say about your network? [08:08] iflema alright im in modprobe.d what exactly should i do? [08:10] chipzzz i get a large chunk of text with that. [08:11] psyklown: the interesting part is the network stuff... type "lshw | less" so that you can scroll through it with your arrow keys [08:12] psyklown ive no gui and no ubuntu =/ atm [08:13] chipzzz yeah what exactly should i paste from the *-network part? [08:14] tim_ I notice one more thing that they now have a 64bit version of vuze. maybe you downloaded the 64bit? [08:15] tim_: note the two downloads here http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php I wonder what you picked? [08:15] psyklown: just check that there are a dozen or so lines and the driver is the sta [08:17] tim_: what is the name of the download package you downloaded? [08:17] does anybody know of a dock for xubuntu [08:17] psyklown: (also, check and make sure it 'looks right'... wireless interface, capabilities, etc...) [08:18] dock? [08:18] chipzzz well one part says drver=wl0 is that it? [08:19] chipzzz is it okay to just post a public dropbox link of a screenshot? [08:19] ruan:yeah [08:19] psyklown: good idea [08:19] sacarlson, Vuze_Installer.tar.bz2 [08:19] Should I give the other file a try? [08:20] chipzzz alright it will only take me a second to dl and install dropbox. my connection is pretty fast [08:20] psyklown: no hurry... I'll be here [08:20] does anyone know where I can find log files for ALSA and PulseAudio? [08:20] googling produces no results for me [08:20] sacarlson, no difference [08:22] psyklown: in the bug report for the release notes concerning your model of wifi, one individual said he reinstalled and did not select to update during install and his wifi worked? did you select to update during the install? [08:22] sacarlson, http://paste.ubuntu.com/569533/ [08:23] psyklown: he reinstalled ubnutu i mean ^^ [08:23] iflema yes, but i have done it without before also. i had thought of that prior [08:23] psyklown: goodone [08:23] psyklown: or bad :\ [08:24] iflema what? [08:24] psyklown: This might be the solution: [08:24] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620585 [08:25] tim_: that's a total different name then I see here http://sourceforge.net/projects/azureus/files/vuze/Vuze_4602/Vuze_4602_linux.tar.bz2/download so did you try this one? Vuze_4602_linux.tar.bz2 [08:25] chipzzz i guess i should try that [08:25] psyklown: it sounds like it should work in this instance [08:26] chipzzz so just go to synaptic remove that installer and install the one he suggested int he same session? [08:26] Why does only one hard drive show in my computer? [08:26] JoeCoolLinux: you need to mount the rest [08:27] psyklown: yes... reinstall ipphy if it is already installed [08:27] They're not available to be mounted [08:27] JoeCoolLinux: did you get the right names to mount them? [08:27] chipzzz i do not have that firmware-b43-installer installed [08:27] JoeCoolLinux: from sudo fdisk -l [08:27] Not on disk manager [08:27] sacarlson, no, i'll try that [08:27] chipzzz should i just go ahead and install that b43-lpphy-installer anyway? [08:28] That command shows one disk, ruan [08:28] Is it possible I need drivers for my SATA III controller? [08:28] psyklown: it looks like that should do it [08:29] JoeCoolLinux: how many disks are in your system in total ? [08:29] chipzzz alright should i disable my sta driver? [08:29] Three. 2 1TBs, one 750 which has NTFS errors I'm on a LiveCD to fix [08:29] 1 of the 1TB is uninitialized. The other is the Win boot disk [08:29] JoeCoolLinux: can you please pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" please. [08:30] http://pastebin.com/3mwNjnUA [08:30] psyklown: no, keep that one [08:31] JoeCoolLinux: ok, does the 3rd (second 1TB disk) hang off a different controller than the other two ? [08:31] The metapackage ubuntu-desktop depends on the package smbclient. How can I modify the metapackage ubuntu-desktop so that it no longer depends on smbclient? [08:31] bullgard: you can't [08:31] Probably does. I think my system has a couple sata 3Gb and a couple 2Gbs [08:31] ikonia: I take notice. [08:31] ubuntu 10.10 is nice :) [08:31] chipzzz alrighty. i just installed it. guess ill restart and come back here. cya in a bit [08:31] gl [08:32] JoeCoolLinux: 2 couples = 4 disks, you just said it had 3 disks [08:32] JoeCoolLinux: I need you to be exact [08:32] Couple SATA ports, as in like 50 [08:32] I only have three disks [08:32] JoeCoolLinux: ok, so I'll ask again, do all disks hang off the same controller, or different controllers ? [08:32] Hey, does anyone know what package is responsible for creating the Unity desktop in Ubuntu Netbook Edition, 10.04? It apparently went kablooie on me and I need to reinstall it [08:33] I'm thinking it has to be two different controllers [08:33] JoeCoolLinux: not "has to be" open the box and look if you don't know [08:33] I'm not going to download the circuit diagram [08:34] JoeCoolLinux: you don't need to download the circuit design, just open the box and look if it is one controller or two connecting your disks [08:34] There were vertical plugs and horizontal plugs [08:34] !ide > ruan [08:34] ruan, please see my private message [08:34] i don't understand the decision to make the GUI of Ubuntu 11.04 onwards to Unity [08:34] JoeCoolLinux: that doesn't mean anything, I need to know [08:34] Unity sucks and is meant for netbooks [08:34] bloodboy: off topic here, try #ubuntu+1 [08:34] boot disk is in the plane with the mobo and the other disks are vertical [08:34] chipzzz sadface :( [08:35] JoeCoolLinux: ok, so the boot disks, which are they (sizes) [08:35] :(( [08:35] One boot disk, 1TB [08:35] double sadface! [08:35] what happened? [08:35] Chipzzz: ok, we get it, please stop [08:35] 1 new uninitialized, 1TB. 1 corrupted NTFS, 750 [08:35] chipzzz lol nothing [08:35] chipzzz just showed up like it always does only with no wireless [08:35] I want to copy the corrupted NTFS one to the uninitialized 1TB [08:36] JoeCoolLinux: ok, so that makes sense, Linux can see your local on board disk controller, but not your additional controller [08:36] JoeCoolLinux: that should be straight forward enough [08:37] Psyklown: do you have firmware-b43-lpphy-installer installed? [08:37] chipzzz yep [08:38] tim_: just tested that link to Vuze_4602_linux.tar.bz2 here on my ubuntu 10.04 32bit desktop , just uncompressed and came up fine with cd to dir and ./vuze [08:38] chipzzz installed it right before i restarted. only thing was i didnt have that original "bf3-firmware" installed like the fore mentioned guy did. [08:38] sacarlson, ok I'm testing now [08:39] psyklown: how old is the broadcomm? [08:39] chipzzz lol idk. [08:39] What would I use for disk imaging on the LiveCD? [08:40] JoeCoolLinux: it really depends what your end goal is [08:40] sacarlson, perfext!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [08:40] chipzzz that post you sent before... he had b43-firmware installed. maybe try installing that and uninstalling that lpphy one? [08:40] I want a 1:1 disk image of the corrupted drive to the new uninitialized drive [08:41] tim_ you must have been trying to run the 64bit version [08:41] thank you times infinity [08:41] psyklown: maybe it wants the latest driver, as suggested in the 4th post... [08:41] So I can run chkdisk on the new 1TB [08:41] JoeCoolLinux: what's stopping you running it on the existing disk ? [08:41] psyklown (hybrid-portsrc_x86-32_v5.60.246.6.tar.gz) [08:41] It was deleting some files and I want the option of recovery [08:41] chipzzz but then how was 10.04 working with something older than tha? [08:42] JoeCoolLinux: ok but what's stopping that from happening now ? [08:42] And it's no big deal to copy it since I was backing it up onto the new drive anyway === sirneo is now known as cacamas [08:42] Stopping what from happening, ikonia? [08:42] JoeCoolLinux: stopping you from running chkdsk on it now === cacamas is now known as SirNeo === Seldon is now known as Hardin [08:42] chdisk was going to delete some files and I'm not comfortable with that [08:42] psyklown: *shrugs* dunno... [08:43] I was just going to copy the drive to the new drive anyway, might as well do it this way and be safe. [08:44] JoeCoolLinux: normally I'd suggest doing this by mounting the disks and copying the data across that way, a disk "image" in my view isn't good as the two drives are different sizes/layouts [08:44] chipzzz gonna try somethin brb [08:44] gl [08:44] Well, how should I do it, ikonia? [08:44] Does anyone know what package is responsible for creating the Unity desktop in Ubuntu Netbook Edition, 10.04? It apparently went kablooie on me and I need to reinstall it [08:45] JoeCoolLinux: if you can, mount the two disks, copy the data, use the windows install cd to put the mbr back on the new disk [08:45] Can anyone suggest dock that keeps icons on different workspaces separated? [08:45] Corrupted NTFS, ikonia [08:45] Can't mount [08:46] JoeCoolLinux: then I wouldn't suggest doing it [08:46] Doing what? [08:46] JoeCoolLinux: cloning the disk under linux [08:46] Why not? [08:46] sacarlson, now how do I get this into my programs list? [08:46] JoeCoolLinux: because the two disks are different sizes and geometries [08:47] JoeCoolLinux: therefore a block level copy is not something I'd suggest [08:47] Then what are my options? [08:47] JoeCoolLinux: the guys in ##windows may have tools to assist or advise you, there may also be 3rd party tools that I'm not aware of [08:47] I was just in there and they said to do a disk clone and I agreed with them [08:48] JoeCoolLinux: ok, but Linux will do a block level disk clone, and I wouldn't advise that as your disks are different sizes and geom's [08:48] You can try cloning things one partition at a time, then resize the partition with gparted [08:48] How do I do a partition clone, then? [08:48] tim_: just right click on Applications pick a place and add [08:49] so make a partition the same size as your old partition, dd the data from the old to the new.. what I'd do. [08:49] JoeCoolLinux: gparted has a nice "copy/paste" feature that many peopld don't know about [08:49] dd isn't block-level? [08:49] I disagree with that as the partition may be the same size but the blocks will be different as the disk is different sizes [08:49] Yes, it is [08:49] JoeCoolLinux: you literally select the partition to copy, press copy, highlight the disk to copy to and click paste [08:49] JoeCoolLinux: dd is block level [08:49] sacarlson, what is the path? [08:49] JoeCoolLinux: the gparted copy/paste copes with disks of different sizes :) [08:49] its in home/.vuze [08:50] tim_: depends on where you put it when you uncompressed it [08:50] tim_: for me it's presently at: /home/sacarlson/Downloads/vuze/vuze [08:51] sacarlson, yep its the same [08:51] sacarlson, thanks [08:52] popey: when gparted copies the partition does it do it at a block level or a file system level ? [08:52] ikonia: it doesnt do dd if that's what you're asking :) [08:52] popey, it says the destination is smaller than the source [08:52] When it has another 300 some gigs [08:52] I'm having a problem with pretty sketchy playback in SMPlayer using vdpau. I have desktop effects all disabled, but it's still pretty jerky/laggy [08:52] JoeCoolLinux: :( It worked last time I used it :( [08:52] popey: not quite, just curious if it did it at a block level or file system [08:52] I dont know, it just seemed magic [08:53] ha [08:53] popey: just reading the doc on it ( I always thougth it was file system level) and it's a bit unclear [08:53] yeah, I'm not sure how it works [08:54] i think it uses some nt cli util to actually do the copy [08:54] sacarlson, thanks again [08:54] s/nt/ntfs/ [08:54] if it's block level JoeCoolLinux is sorted, if it's file system (which is what I thought) it's not going to work [08:55] I either need an NTFS library or something, it says the destination is smaller than the source [08:55] Does anyone know what package is responsible for creating the Unity-style desktop in Ubuntu Netbook Edition, 10.04? It apparently went kablooie on me and I need to reinstall it [08:55] sorry if my suggestion wasnt helpful :S [08:55] popey: if it does it at a block level, it's super helpful [08:55] Yerushalmi, wasn't it just unity-desktop? [08:56] Yerushalmi: try reinstalling unity-desktop [08:56] haha [08:56] tim_: no problem have fun === jengis is now known as keyns [08:57] hey guys. I installed 10.10 64bit on a pc with windows 7 on it. I only ever get to some kind of post-grub console. sumat about it not finding the installation? is it likely to be the disk image or something in the install that breaks that [08:57] chipzzz im pretty confident that when dante entered the inferno, that broadcom was somewhere within the 9th level of hell [08:58] psyklown: can we keep the silly stuff out of the channel please. [08:58] I think it might be file system level [08:58] psyklown: :))) big happy face! look what I found: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [08:58] Because it can't open the NTFS because it's corrupted [08:58] JoeCoolLinux: I thought it was too, but that doesn't mean I'm right [08:58] ikonia trust me. there is nothing silly about broadcom [08:59] psyklown: please, enough === samael is now known as Guest70310 [08:59] can anybody tell me hot to install opera by source please [09:00] Isn't Opera closed-source? [09:00] ikonia do you know how to solve the broadcom problem? [09:00] psyklown: not been following the issue [09:00] ikonia alrighty [09:00] Alright, ikonia, how do I do a block-level copy to the new drive? [09:00] nop why did you think that [09:01] JoeCoolLinux: I'd really advise against it === Salah_El-Din is now known as ven [09:01] You just said it was the way to go in gparted [09:02] JoeCoolLinux: no I didn't, [09:02] simple question: In bash, if I launch something (for example telnet) how do I then escape telnet and go back to bash??? (im talkin terminal, ubuntu) === Look is now known as Guest59730 === Guest59730 is now known as ____________xd [09:02] ikonia 02/20/2011 08:54:26 AM [09:02] if it's block level JoeCoolLinux is sorte [09:03] JoeCoolLinux: yes, as gparted can deal with the different disk sizes as popey suggested [09:03] JoeCoolLinux: as it appears to be file system rather than block level, it's not an option [09:03] hyperzap: 'exit' or 'quit' or 'ctrl+c' === ven is now known as Venu [09:03] JoeCoolLinux, gaelfx : I don't see "unity-desktop" on my list of installed packages === Venu is now known as Venub [09:03] Yerushalmi: check in Synaptic Package Manager [09:03] gaelfx: Thanks, I always have the issue where It goes into a process and I have to close terminal and fire up again to get it to accept bash commands again [09:04] hyperzap: not a problem [09:04] gaelfx: 'quit' doesnt work [09:04] chipzzz so am i going to have to go with ndiswrapper? [09:04] hyperzap: yeah, I can't remember all of the right ways to do things, so I just list as many as possible til one sticks [09:05] kinda like cooking pasta I guess [09:05] lol ok, thanks anyway. Its hard getting into linux but i want to do it. Everyone I know tells me to get rid of gnome [09:06] psyclown: I would back up and start from the beginning on that page... [09:06] ikonia, so what are my options? Can I not do a block level anyway and then worry about resizing it? [09:06] What's the big deal [09:07] JoeCoolLinux: because block level will depend on the partition table, which is based of the disk layout of the old disk [09:07] hyperzap: yeah, some people prefer other desktop managers, but I've never had a big problem with Gnome. KDE is pretty, but it just doesn't jive with me [09:07] JoeCoolLinux: there are 3rd party tools (something like norton ghost ?) that maybe able to do it better [09:07] Spinright? [09:07] How about if I made like an ISO image of it on the new drive? [09:07] no idea, the guys in ##windows may know the tools better [09:08] gaelfx: It's not there. [09:08] JoeCoolLinux: what would you do with it then ? [09:08] just completed ubuntu 10.04 LTS installation and while updating my PC was powered of accidently, now i get at the starting a menu to choose the user and nothing responds. Tried the recovery mode and got nothing. Is there another way to recover the system ? [09:08] I don't know\ [09:08] ok, so pointless [09:08] gaelfx: yea im sticking to gnome. The issue for me ATM is if I download some sample c++ code and compile, it never compiles correctly. You would think it would Its always whininh bout something. Normally functions in default libraries [09:08] Yerushalmi: then do a search just for unity [09:09] hyperzap: it's been too long since I've done any coding, I can't really help with that :P [09:09] Am I risking anything by just running the chdisk on the drive itself?/ [09:09] chipzzz not sure what you mean. it just shows how to identify your card at the top of the page. then on down it says to install bcmwl-kernel-source which i already have installed [09:09] JoeCoolLinux: I don't know, ask the guys in ##windows [09:09] gaelfx: That's what I did. The only one that comes up is gnome-themes-extras, which isn't installed. [09:09] They don't know [09:10] too much coding is bad for the mind, but too little is bad for the spirit :D [09:10] JoeCoolLinux: neither do we, this is Ubuntu, not Windows support, the guys in ##windows are more experienced and best placed to answer [09:10] THIS IS WHAT I DO: http://xkcd.com/356/ [09:11] valentines day: http://xkcd.com/316/ [09:11] http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz348/CarefullyWovenPhotography/Okay.png [09:11] Yerushalmi: hang on a sec [09:11] hyperzap: please keep that stuff out of the channel [09:11] sorry [09:11] hyperzap: this channel is for ubuntu support discussion only, not coding chat, silly pictures, etc === evade is now known as Guest54081 [09:12] JoeCoolLinux: same to you, don't need pictures please [09:12] Yerushalmi: you said you're using 10.04? [09:12] heloo beeses of openworld [09:12] psyklown: *groans* I guess you're right... on to the ndis wrapper section [09:13] just completed ubuntu 10.04 LTS installation and while updating my PC was powered of accidently, now i get at the starting a menu to choose the user and nothing responds. Tried the recovery mode and got nothing. Is there another way to recover the system ? [09:13] Yerushalmi: you might also search for "Desktop" and see if anything there looks promising === evade_ is now known as Guest35898 [09:13] chipzzz lol that really sucks because i have no idea how to use ndiswrapper [09:13] hyperzap: think i've been reading too much manga, i didn't get those jokes(turns out i was read right to left . . .) [09:15] psyklown: well... the instructions look pretty thorough... you'll probably know before long :) [09:16] You're saying I can't do a bitwise image? [09:16] is there ubuntu for AMD64 i want to install it in my msi wind u210 [09:16] for opera which do i pick to download tar.bz2 or tar.gz [09:16] hi i installed ubuntu using unetbootin and it has only put 4 files onto my usb none of them bigger than 1KB [09:16] hello [09:16] pls someone help to recover my ubuntu. I install windows after ubuntu [09:17] psyklown: use this (link http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/NdisWrapper_The_Ultimate_Guide) [09:17] dxy, you just get the x86-64 version, that'll give you 64bit [09:17] for opera which do i pick to download tar.bz2 or tar.gz [09:17] !grub2| vickyandro|2 [09:17] vickyandro|2: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic).

I'm trying to tunnel my X through ssh into windoze with putty. I've done all the needed settings but still I get Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0 [09:29] any ideas? [09:30] gaelfx: exactely ...thats why i am forcing him/her to download .deb file [09:30] DexterLB: you can't do that, Windows doesn't have an X11 display engine [09:30] meh, you can't make choices for people, you can only give them sugggestions [09:30] DexterLB: and the OS is called "Windows" [09:31] ikonia: hmmmmm I've seen it done.. [09:31] DexterLB: yes, you need an X11 server on your windows machine [09:31] ikonia: there's xming which is a X11R6 implementation for windows [09:31] guest70310: on my given link try with default package on option of package format [09:31] magnetron: I'm aware there are ones, but unless he's installed one and set it up, it's not going to work [09:31] I installed LAMP. How do I host PHP pages? [09:31] ikonia: ah. so I need an X server on both sides? [09:31] ikonia: yeah, i didn't follow the conversation [09:32] sss: did you read the documentation I gave you [09:32] DexterLB: correct [09:32] sss: read the manual thru [09:32] magnetron: not a problem [09:32] okinia, the Sever Guide? [09:32] sss: placed ur pages on /var/www [09:32] sss: yes, the one you've been asked to read 3 times [09:32] nop sorry that doesnt work either [09:33] sss: simply place ur pages on /var/www an type on browser /localhost/filename [09:33] hi, I often ssh to a shell server where i run irssi and tcsh in screen. how do i make tcsh update the screen hardstatus line with something useful? how can i make the remote screen session update my gnome-terminal window title? [09:34] openbees, I doesn't process the PHP, it just gives the file as is for download [09:34] guest70310: then either you are kidding or its matter of bug on opera official site [09:34] magnetron: I think that's done within irssi [09:34] magnetron: eg: an away message screen detatched, then when someone messages you they get that message [09:34] sss: oh sorry you mean you are installing php [09:34] DexterLB: Cygwin/X [09:34] openbees, Isn't it installed by default with LAMP?

[09:38] gaelfx , guest70310: just one next page as the link given by me [09:40] sss: I think the short answer is you need to install the php5-cgi package [09:40] learner: er, perhaps I misunderstood, you mean you want to update the menu only? Like you installed a new OS and you want it to show up in Grub? [09:40] Chipzzz, I installed using "tasksel install lamp-server", shouldn't I already have PHP?

[10:01] cdbs, i know just being silly. there is a funny site called downloadmoreram.com though [10:02] !ot | robertzaccour [10:02] robertzaccour: #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! [10:02] dve: It should be created at the origin of the symlink. [10:03] dr0id: i did with ubuntu tweak [10:03] Diamoncite: Ok thanks, so if I then delete the 'virtual' folder the newly created file will still exist at the origin [10:03] openbees: some software ? [10:03] dve: Such as.. if you symlink toast/ to bagel/ , change into bagel/ , create butter.txt, It will appear in both toast/ and bagel/ [10:03] ubuntu tweak is very good [10:04] dve: Deleting bagel/ in the above will not affect toast/ in any way. On the other hand.. deleting toast/ would break bagel/ [10:04] droid: ya ....but i dont know short cut ....u can find it in your software center [10:04] where do I begin to learn command line tutorial? right from basics?

[10:08] magnetron: I think it's done through the away plugin, not %100 [10:08] magnetron: the window title may not work with all terminal emmulators though [10:08] not sure if the shell is important either as I've never read the plugin (it's perl as I recall) [10:08] youngsterxyf: I think this will work well https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [10:10] i am transfering files between a whole new ubuntu 10.10 install but the transfer is only 4mb/s running on 100mbps lan transfer is via sftp ... any idea why ?

[10:11] ikonia: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:11] elfranne: Which transfer method? scp? sshfs? nfs? samba? [10:11] ikonia: :o ^ [10:11] ikonia: but I want to use it as root [10:11] researcher1: use sudo to run a command as root [10:11] ikonia: one software wants me to login as root [10:11] researcher1: then read how to do it properly through the ubuntu security system [10:12] !root > researcher1 [10:12] ok [10:12] researcher1, please see my private message [10:12] researcher1: which software ?

[10:13] gaelfx: i'm back. video card is Intel GMA X4500 (integrated in ASUS P5G41T-M LX) [10:13] researcher1: use sudo to launch the application as cdbs suggested [10:13] researcher1: what is the exact command you need to run? [10:13] I ran hp-setup command then it gave a message "You need root privileges to do that" [10:13] researcher1: run sudo hp-setup then [10:13] I have already logged in as the only default user which was created while installing system [10:13] researcher1: and enter your OWN password when sudo asks your password [10:13] cdbs: ok [10:14] elfranne: Maybe they are small files or one of the CPUs are already maxed? [10:14] im having no luck with obtaining my broadcom xp drivers for ndiswrapper. any assistance? [10:14] uuuaaammm: oh, that's an intel card then, eh? and I take it the reboot didn't do anything in the way of letting you change your resolution? [10:14] researcher1: Ubuntu is configured such that the user would never need to login as root. If they need to, sudo is there [10:14] elfranne: After all.. scp/sftp is quite CPU intensive. === trhilkil is now known as Internet === Internet is now known as InternetA [10:15] ok [10:15] thanks everybody for the help [10:15] bye for now [10:15] tc [10:15] gaelfx: no. I still have the same resolutions enabled... :/ [10:15] Diamondcite : 50% of cpu in use, and about small files they are around 5-10MB each [10:16] i know its a stupid question, bout everytime i point my mouse on any audio file it plays the track, how do i disable that...its realy annoying [10:16] elfranne: If it's a single core hyperthreaded CPU, then it might be maxed... [10:16] Diamondcite : single core VIA cpu [10:16] gaelfx: the monitor is deteced as "unknown" and compiz effects work fine (cube and deformations) [10:17] irong33k: in nautilus, click Edit > Preferences. Go to the Preview tab and choose what you want under the "Sound files" drop down menu [10:17] uuuaaammm: it was a kernel update that did this? or what? and are you using 10.10 or 10.04? [10:17] elfranne: While I don't know the details.. On a N270 Atom (1.6GHz) I can copy at around 6MB/sec due to CPU speed limitations. [10:17] i wish know if its some advante with the suspension /hibernation problem with the aspire one 721 [10:17] gaelfx: 10.10 [10:17] gaelfx: not sure what was updated yesterday. [10:17] gaelfx: but it asked for rebooting. that's for sure. [10:18] gaelfx: any idea how to find out what was installed? [10:18] hi, whenever I try to download any programs in iPlayer, the whole program crashes and then crashes as soon as I open it next [10:18] Diamondcite : this cpu is a less powerfull cpu than the N270, so even with samba i should only be able to copy at aroud 6 MB/s ? [10:18] ardchoille, as in sound preferences in the menu? [10:18] I have the adobe Air crash log, but I can't make much of it [10:19] Hi. [10:19] elfranne: Samba might be faster since it's actually lighter than sftp in resources. [10:19] irong33k: yes, that is what is doing the sound previews when you mouse over a sound file [10:19] uuuaaammm: yeah, I think there's a log for that, I just can't remember where [10:19] Diamondcite : ok [10:19] Is there a way to do a bash command on start up? Like, /opt/lampp/lampp start? And is there a way to create command that just runs; java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame? [10:20] Diamondcite : it is because i got problems with my smb.conf file -_- [10:20] gaelfx: let me check /var/log again... :S [10:20] elfranne: On the flipside, sftp gurantees a proper file transfer, samba doesn't have such an offer I think. [10:21] ardchoille, thanks man all fixed [10:21] Diamondcite : you mean there is a check of the fileś on sftp ? [10:21] irong33k: yw :) [10:21] Is there a way to do that? [10:22] Hello all [10:22] Hi. [10:22] elfranne: Since all the files are encrypted before transfer, I would assume that the file can't be decrypted if the transfer went bad. [10:22] gaelfx: from /var/log/messages running kernel is still 2.6.35-25-generic [10:22] Is there a way to do a bash command on start up? Like, /opt/lampp/lampp start? And is there a way to create command that just runs; java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame? [10:22] gaelfx: no kernel update, then... [10:22] Jragon: if you mean on system startup, you can put the command in /etc/rc.local [10:22] uuuaaammm: then it does seem poretty strange that you can't change your resolution to what it was before [10:23] Ok. [10:23] [10:23] should i just go back to 10.04? [10:23] Jragon: if you want it to run with root rights, put it in rc.d. if you want it to run as your user, put it in your crontab with the @reboot directive [10:23] Jragon: I have never done it but you should be able to put a bash script in ~/.config/autostart and have the script run on login [10:23] I cant remeber what java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame is, so I have to go to the minecraft site to get it, is there a way to make it something like, 'run minecraft'? === q_a_z_steve is now known as zz_q_a_z_steve [10:23] gaelfx: i agree :S :S :( === evade is now known as Guest73994 [10:24] gaelfx: do you where the monitor settings program gets supported resolutions from?

I've kicked off memtest86 with the second one in [11:24] Reapu: the password filed has to be blank, that's all [11:25] Krycek: Stop with that reboot thing. It's not Windows!

Full error line: murmur.x86: relocation error: /lib32/libnss_files.so.2: symbol strcmp, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference [11:54] whats the error you get when trying to partition it ? [11:55] Uncle|Sam: That doesn't look like a mysql error [11:55] gparted says me the partition is mounted, but is not [11:55] Uncle|Sam: why did you install the 32bit libs ? [11:55] open terminal and type mount [11:55] Uncle|Sam: (just getting background together) [11:55] ikonia: i host some game server for my clan and the anti cheat tool needs it [11:55] ok [11:55] without it doesnt work [11:56] hi i have problem with my mic my laptop is lenovo R61i i tried it with windows xp it works fine i whent to alsa log page http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=b115e0f700d8d4474c03b2edc546e49db4cfb77e [11:56] Uncle|Sam: ok, before that was the murmur application ( I have no idea what that is) using the 32bit or 64bit mysql libs ? [11:56] and vale , you see something like /dev/sdb2 that has a pair of keys as a symbol , in Gparted , the disk is mounted [11:57] timewriter: are sda4 (partition with old ubuntu) and sda6 (swap partition) [11:57] ikonia: the default one from ubuntu 10.04.1 64bit so i think it is 64bit. but i have no idea where to get this information [11:57] and what do you want ? you want to delete them and create new partitions ? [11:57] timewriter: yes [11:57] i guess swap is on [11:57] how can i turn it off? [11:58] open a terminal and type swapoff [11:58] gaelfx: I just found in Xorg.log: (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) [11:58] then try to delete the swap partition [11:58] let me see [11:58] nothing has changed [11:58] gaelfx: but /var/run/acpid.socket actually exists... [11:59] imposible [11:59] Uncle|Sam: have you got any 3rd party repos enabled ?

[11:59] ikonia: no i dont have [12:00] hi i have problem with my internal mic input no control in alsamixer and so on [12:00] vale: using "swapon -s" you can see if a certain swappartition is active. You can disable a certain swappartition using "swapoff ", for example swapoff /dev/sdb2 [12:00] timewriter: already done, [12:00] Uncle|Sam: that looks like a version conflict at a high level but I can't see how === fernando is now known as Guest1426 [12:00] let me see [12:00] Hi, does anybody have any suggestions about how to solve the error 255, when trying to set shares for folders? I'm running Maverick on both machines [12:01] vale: for the actual swapoff you need to prefix the command with sudo [12:01] ikonia: is there a way to get a crash report which can help more? [12:01] this machine I am iusing here, can see or be be seen by my other machine. [12:01] i always forget about sudo [12:01] Uncle|Sam: that is the crash report, and it is useful [12:01] im not used to it [12:01] oCean: timewriter, i made it! [12:01] vale, ok [12:01] glad you did it [12:01] robbiethe1st: DISPLAY=:0 works :D [12:01] now i try simply to format [12:02] i would delete all partitions and create new ones [12:02] how to make thunderbird to display new mail info in the notification area using the usual ubuntu mechanisms instead of its own [12:02] ikonia: any idea what i should do now? [12:02] Uncle|Sam: I'm wondering if it's something as simple as a 32bit lib has a missing symlink so that the 32bit glibc dosn't know it's there [12:02] ahaha, done :D [12:02] :) [12:03] timewriter: now just pray ubuntu installation will go right [12:03] vale, why wouldnt go right ? [12:03] because before installation get stucked at third step [12:04] and i tried over and over, from 7 PM to 5 AM [12:04] i never had a problem with ubuntu install [12:04] me too [12:04] this is the first time [12:04] most of the times it fails if there are hardware problems [12:04] defective hdds or so [12:04] Uncle|Sam: http://www.bitchx.com/log/mumble-f/mumble-f-24-Jun-2010/mumble-f-24-Jun-2010-00.php [12:04] Uncle|Sam: a user called Tiven is having the same problem, I'm researching [12:04] linux is more sensitive to hardware malfunctions than lets say windows [12:05] i think there are no problem, until yesterday all worked properly [12:05] both win 7 and ubuntu [12:05] i like 10.04 === zz_q_a_z_steve is now known as q_a_z_steve [12:05] ikonia: i already tried to google but i found nothing why this happens [12:05] i always go for LTS versions [12:05] but sometime, somehow, everything went wrong === MC8 is now known as MC8|away [12:05] Uncle|Sam: are you running murmur as root or a normal user ? [12:05] there was 10.10 installed [12:06] ikonia: of course normal user [12:06] Uncle|Sam: ahhh hang on, can you show me the output of uname -a please [12:06] Uncle|Sam: I've just remembered something === q_a_z_steve is now known as zz_q_a_z_steve [12:06] timewriter: is there a way to make a ubuntu usb bootable directly from web? [12:06] ikonia: i wrote a notice because i dont want to publish my hostname [12:06] Hello guys, could someone help me a little? What's the name of Nvidia 32 bit opengl libraries? [12:07] Uncle|Sam: undertood, ahhh, not what I thought [12:07] vale, i guess you can create a bootable usb drive straight from live session [12:07] Uncle|Sam: it's not a linnode or hosted vps box is it ? === zz_q_a_z_steve is now known as q_a_z_steve [12:07] timewriter: uh? [12:07] System > Administration > Startup Disk Creator [12:08] if on gnome [12:08] ikonia: its a own root server, no virtual or something like that [12:08] Uncle|Sam: ah I know linnode used to do a trick to the packages that broke some links [12:08] ok [12:08] Uncle|Sam: could you run a test and try to start murmur with sudo [12:08] or boot your windows and google for pendrive linux [12:08] hey folks, i just tried vinage to control another ubuntu machine. The result is that everything is extremely slow and on of my cores are running 100% all the time. Anyone know how to remedy? [12:08] ikonia: yes of course, one moment [12:08] timewriter: The Kubuntu live CD I created booted just fine (I'm using it here and now in fact), but the Ubuntu live CDs I created still do nothing, the machine boots straight to Fedora. [12:09] DaveMc, in this case the cd you created is bad [12:09] ikonia: i am getting the same error message [12:09] timewriter: Both Ubuntu CDs were created from separate ISO downloads, but neither work [12:10] Uncle|Sam: intersting, I'll need to pop and do some research [12:10] Uncle|Sam: none of the things I expected are true [12:10] DaveMc, what software did you use ? or maybe the cds dont suite your cd-writer [12:10] guys, what packages contain 32bit nvidia opengl libraries? Help, i'm desperate [12:11] ikonia: thank you very much for helping me! [12:12] timewriter: I used Nero for all the disks, although one difference is I burned the Kubuntu image to a DVD, the ubuntu image to CD, so maybe I should try a DVD instead to be sure? [12:12] Eduard, did you install the nvidia drivers ? [12:12] DaveMc, yes , and may i suggest ImgBurn ? [12:12] Uncle|Sam: well, no result yet and it's not looking like any of what I'd expect is true [12:13] timewriter: I'm running ubuntu 10.10 64bit and I've got the nvidia-96 driver manually installed from nvidia. The thing is, I'm missing 32bit opengl libraries and wine complains about it [12:13] timewriter: Ok, I'll give it a go, thank you for time. [12:13] DaveMc, youre welcome === i7-Cud4 is now known as i7-Cud4_ [12:14] Eduard, , hy version 96 ? [12:14] why* i mean [12:14] timewriter, my card is NVIDIA MX 400, so that means nvidia-96 for me [12:14] i see [12:14] Hi [12:15] 64 bit you say [12:15] ok nm-applet is running but i can not see [12:15] it [12:15] yup, i need 32 bit because wine won [12:15] won't run openGL games [12:16] i can run opengl games and i didnt do nothing special for this [12:16] nvidia 8800GTX using the current driver [12:17] what is the best linux for an amateur combined with low system specs [12:17] im looking at mint [12:17] oops wrong chan [12:17] mint crashed for me after update [12:17] !mint [12:17] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu.

[12:50] shun try more /etc/group [12:50] shum: sounds like a bad setup. It would probably be better to set the group ownership of the USB device you want to access and make yourself part of that group. [12:50] Odaym: /usr/bin/lspci [12:50] just lspci [12:50] aha [12:50] thanks [12:50] or locate [12:51] Hi. is it possible to show dependencies of a package compiled and installed by ourselves? 'aptitude show' gets dependencies from the one in repository. [12:51] lcb: dpkg -I filename.deb [12:51] Hello i have a problem on ubuntu maverik, the microfone keep active.. if i touch the micro i can hear noise but i am not using it with any program so i dont understand why he keep actived [12:51] shum: root isn't just a privilege. It's another user. [12:51] shun once you get a list of members, look for your userid [12:51] LjL, no .deb :( [12:52] lcb: then how is it a package if there is no .deb? [12:52] my scrole lock light isnt working... [12:52] blkdg: yeah but i need to run it as root. i haven't had problems in the past running programs as root and getting sound [12:52] volvering, mute it with the mixer [12:52] and this is a bug that goes back to 2007 [12:52] what am i looking for in /etc/group? [12:52] shum: why do you need to run it as root? I've just given you an alternative? [12:52] ive already added myself to the vboxuser group but that didnt work [12:52] LjL. hmmm... its installed. i didn't see on this one any .deb being made. let me check [12:52] blkdg, my friends settings were already at none [12:52] blkdg, i done but i still active [12:53] shun read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=642394 [12:53] blkdg, i mean turned off [12:53] blkdg, it still active i want say [12:53] do you mean chmod -R a+rw /dev/bus/usb? [12:53] shum: nevermind that. Find out which device you want to use, and add your own primary group as the owner. That's the fastest way. If more users should be able to access it, create a group, like webcamusers, add that group as group owner of the device and add users to that group. [12:53] lcb: if you installed it using "make install" or similar, it's not a package, and there is no way to know dependencies [12:54] shum: the USB device that you want to use. [12:54] LjL, yes. that's my point.... too bad :( [12:54] volvering, apps like skype have a 'let me control the mixer' if skype is running, then that over rides the mixer. [12:54] shum: but you'll probably get better advice in #vbox. [12:54] thanks LjL :) [12:54] mk, how do i add myself as the owner of a usb device? [12:55] lanoxx, make sure all effects are off, log back in. [12:55] shum: what usb device? [12:56] shum: using virtualbox-4 and the usb extensionpack all you have to do is add your user to the vboxusers group [12:56] erUSUL: a keyboard, i can use it my user but virtualbox can only access usb devices if i run it as root. [12:56] shum, don't run vbox as root. it's clear by that thread as to why. [12:56] shum: see oCean's answer [12:57] erUSUL oCean: i tried that but it didn't work. [12:57] shum: not at all or for a particular usb device? [12:57] good morning guys [12:57] i am in KDE now from gnome [12:58] for any usb device [12:58] blkdg, i close skype but still have same problem [12:58] shum: then your setup/config is wrong. The usb extensionpack works just fine in 4.0 [12:59] what is good reliable backup s/w or way as I have to reinstall my Lucid?? [12:59] volvering, you shut skype, you muted it in the mixer, and the mike is still on? === spiderman is now known as Guest60485 [12:59] I might give myself rw privledges on everything in /dev/bus/usb and /sys/kernel/debug/usb and see if i can run vbox as my normal user then. [13:00] wait shum [13:00] blkdg, yes! if i touch the micro i hear noise [13:00] which ubuntu are you using [13:00] blkdg: 10.10 [13:01] !backup | induz [13:01] induz: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [13:01] shum, http://techtooltip.wordpress.com/2008/09/22/how-to-use-host-usb-device-from-guest-in-virtual-box/ [13:01] induz: I recommend deja-dup, available in software center [13:01] volvering, open your mixer, and make sure you can see all devices. [13:01] =how come the music controls in awn don't work for every player? [13:02] blkdg, the the effects have been off all the time and the computer restarted several times, yet no change [13:02] volvering, there might be a second mike input [13:02] deja-dup??? [13:02] how do i access "/sbin/modinfo modname" on Ubuntu? [13:02] to see what a certain module dpoes [13:02] does* [13:02] i am in KDE of ubuntu so where is software center located on my system? [13:03] blkdg, no device now [13:03] lanoxx, if you are using the stable version of your video driver, and effects are off, apps like googleearth and sites like youtube will work. most of the time its compiz that conflicts with those things working. [13:03] Odaym: exactly as you typed, for example modinfo bluetooth [13:04] aha [13:04] but.. === MC8|away is now known as MC8 [13:04] !afk > MC8 [13:04] MC8, please see my private message [13:04] lanoxx, check that the virsion of java on that machine (if there is one) is higher than Java 6.0_20 [13:04] you said that /sbin/lspci means /usr/bin/lspci, oCean [13:05] that did the trick. just relaxed all the permisions for in /dev /proc and /sys [13:05] then why not now i put /usr/bin/modinfo video for example [13:05] Odaym: some executables have different paths, not all of them. Use 'which ' to find out, e.g. 'which modinfo' [13:05] why the fonts are bursting on KDE [13:06] i see i see [13:06] right, i know which [13:06] is it caz of memory of 1gb [13:06] :) [13:06] volvering, open a term and run alsamixer [13:06] alguien me puede ayudar con virtualbox? [13:06] volvering, you should see all audio devices attached to the machine [13:07] how can i change system wide fonts on KDE?? [13:07] blkdg, done and now? [13:07] see the mike volvering [13:07] volvering, or mikes ? [13:08] when i put "lspci" oCean, i get parport_c and parport, but when i put "lspci | grep parport" nothing comes out [13:08] why isn't it finding them [13:08] volvering, lets try the shotgun approach, MUTE EVERYTHING and start unmuting them one at a time [13:09] lanoxx, what video card? [13:09] :o [13:09] Odaym: do you mean lsmod? [13:09] hmm [13:09] that lists the modules [13:09] what does lspci do then? [13:09] list all PCI devices [13:09] Odaym: lspci lists your pci devices [13:09] ok [13:09] indeed [13:09] Odaym: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:10] blkdg, i mute everything and now the mic is silent if i touch [13:10] volvering, cool. now unmute ONE AT A TIME [13:11] volvering, then you'll know which is the real mike. [13:11] lanoxx, video card? [13:11] blkdg, java wasnt installed, im installing it now, is it anyhow connected to flash? its a intel (810 i belive) [13:11] Howdy [13:12] blkdg, yes is the last one, the f-mic [13:12] blkdg, G31 familiy according to lspci [13:12] volvering, there you go. [13:12] FATAL: Error removing lp (/lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/kernel/drivers/char/lp.ko): Operation not permitted [13:12] because of root powers, it means? [13:12] module parport is in use? [13:12] but it's for the printers that are hooked to parallel port.. [13:12] there is no printer now, and if there were it wouldn't be to parallel port [13:12] Odaym: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:13] blkdg, tanks [13:13] volvering, np [13:13] blkdg, flash used to work for the last couple of years and only stopped two days ago, i can see the start and volume buttons but the video area keeps black [13:13] lanoxx, go here, http://drjava.org/ then look on the left side for compiz. click it, and read [13:15] lanoxx, i know that i learnt the hard way. googleearth and youtube and drjava all crap out my box when effects are on, os i just turn the effects off. [13:15] blkdg, all effects are already turned of [13:15] lanoxx, right. [13:15] blkdg, infact the have never beens switched on [13:16] ummm, i810 is a very well supported chipset. give me a sec [13:16] lanoxx, any new apps added in the last 2 days? [13:16] any system wide upgrades lanoxx ? === guest is now known as Dr_Willis [13:17] LjL , i used checkinstall to build the package, then dpkg -I filename.deb :) thanks [13:17] lanoxx, latest flash installed? === brontosaurusrexw is now known as brontosaurusrex [13:20] lanoxx, can you lspci and look for VGA. paste that 1 line here [13:20] help!! trying to install mypaint from the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MyPaint , but i think there must be something missing after the instruction for line 4 -- would someone be able to have a look for me? it gets to a point where the prompt reads: mikubuntu@mikubuntu-laptop:~/mypaint-0.7.1$ and i don't know what to do next. === fernando is now known as Guest51941 [13:21] Guys i am having crackling sound in 5.1 surround sound [13:21] heyho [13:22] blkdg, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10) [13:22] its realtek ACL888 [13:22] mikubuntu, you are in the mypaint dir. [13:22] mikubuntu: It's in the software repository now http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=mypaint&suite=default§ion=all&arch=any&searchon=names [13:22] mikubuntu: --> sudo apt-get install mypaint [13:22] !info mypaint [13:22] mypaint (source: mypaint): Paint program to be used with Wacom tablets. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-1ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 284 kB, installed size 1252 kB [13:23] I've got a remote machine that I can access just fine through regular ssh, but when I try to mount a directory with sudo sshfs, I get "read: Connection reset by peer". Curiously, the remote machine can mount directories on the local machine this way. What's happening? [13:23] but minimec, i don't have a proper prompt to enter code do i? [13:23] mikubuntu: open a simple terminal or install it with synaptic or the new software manager [13:23] Guys i am having crackling sound in 5.1 surround sound [13:24] realtek aLC 888 ? [13:25] hi [13:25] blkdg, the versions is Package: flashplugin-installer [13:25] Version: 10.2.152.27ubuntu0.10.10.1 [13:25] LogicallyDashing: try sshfs as a normal user, not root. or tell it what user to user as the user for sshfs [13:25] blkdg, and Package: flashplugin-nonfree Version: 10.2.152.27ubuntu0.10.10.1 [13:25] minimec, heres what i have in the terminal right now ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/569610/ do you mean that i should open a second terminal and sudo? [13:25] I have KDE and Gnome, now, how can i switch between them?? [13:26] induz: at the LOGIN: screen (gdm or kdm) theres a menu item somewhere [13:26] Dr_Willis: thanks, that worked [13:26] induz: you can choose the desktop environment in your display manager, gdm/kdm, where you log in [13:26] LogicallyDashing: root user cant ssh in. :) thats the logic of the issue. [13:26] Dr_Willis, so I have to relog everytime [13:26] induz: yes.. makes sence. [13:27] * Dr_Willis recalls years and years ago - accidently being able to run kde and gnome at the same time on the same desktop.. really goofed things up. [13:27] minimec, heres what i have in the terminal right now ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/569610/ do you mean that i should open a second terminal and sudo? [13:27] the 2 play together much better now [13:27] lanoxx, ok, so two days ago youtube worked. what have you installed SINCE then? [13:28] mikubuntu: Dude open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get install mypaint'. That is all you need. No dev packages, nothing. Just install mypaint. That's it. [13:28] The joys of a package manager system :) [13:29] hi [13:29] blkdg, only the normal system updates [13:29] lanoxx, read this [13:29] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10449990 [13:29] blkdg, i found something else just now [13:30] I am looking for the right package for Java in Maverick, online banking and related applicaitons [13:30] blkdg, i clicked on the little lego cube in firefox and it says something about gnash but doesnt mention flash (even its installed) [13:30] I have been searching in package manager and theres a lot of Java packages, but no for plain java [13:31] minimec, so all the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MyPaint are superfluous? [13:31] lanoxx, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10449990 [13:31] is online banking safe at all in Ubuntu? [13:31] I can't play fullscreen games in virtualbox because the display isn't compatible. How do I rectify this? [13:31] silverlightning: it's as safe as doing it from windows or a mac [13:31] is it big party? [13:31] mikubuntu: Yes, as they were ment fot ubuntu 9.04, and now we use 10.04 or 10.10 ;) [13:31] mikubuntu, they were needed at one point. according to minimec its in the repo now [13:31] 1486 ppl=) [13:32] silverlightning: no more/less than any other OS [13:32] venilsurya: you did install the virtualbox guest addations inside the os in vbox? [13:32] !java | silverlightning [13:32] silverlightning: 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. [13:32] well, at least not too bad [13:32] hmm [13:32] silverlightning: without getting specific, no one can really answer that question [13:32] Dr Willis: Yes, and I can run it in both fullscreen and seamless modes. [13:32] silverlightning: sun java is in the partenrst repositoruy. or the icedtea java should work fine. [13:32] minimec and blkdg, so do i need to autoremove anything? [13:33] thanks ubottu [13:33] venilsurya: sounds like a bug in the game/driver issue since vbox sort of fakes its own video card. [13:33] mikubuntu: you could definitly try that before installing mypaint. [13:33] So I installed the 64bit version of Hulu Desktop and it's not letting me login or pull up any information from the internet, what gives? [13:33] Dr_Willis, I am a bit linux illiterate; partenrst repository? [13:33] Dr_Willis: It happens for a number of games, not just one. How do I rectify it if its a driver issue? [13:33] er, waitasec... it finally just kicked in [13:34] !java | silverlightning [13:34] silverlightning: 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. [13:34] venilsurya: i dont play games in vbox. i use wine. Perhaps check the vbox forums. [13:34] minimec, no i did the installation already, i'm just wondering if in the process i started from that install page has stored unneeded files somewhere that i should remove? [13:34] If I understand this correctly it is best to install from package manager or terimila rather than directly from Javas own site [13:35] silverlightning: use the package manager when possible. rule #1 :) [13:35] silverlightning: that is correct [13:35] Dr_Willis, just curious, have you been around irc for about 10 years now, or am I thinking about another physician? [13:35] package manager 'or' terminal... the 2 are the same basically. [13:35] blkdg: im not a real doctor. :) [13:35] thanks for the confirmation Dr_Willis, I'm not shore why, but I will follow the guidelines [13:35] blkdg: ive been ircing since 1986 or shortly there after... [13:36] grrr, hulu desktop won't stream [13:36] however there are a lot of packages when I plot in Java [13:36] Dr_Willis: irc was invented on 1988 [13:36] silverlightning: if you install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package. it should install java and some other things you will want. [13:36] minimec, mypaint appears in the menu now, but it doesn't launch [13:36] thanks Dr_Willis [13:36] mikubuntu: if I a reading well installation failed, so you didn't install anything but the dev packages. Autoremove might remove them again. [13:37] how do I enable an application to cover the panel? I want to do that because then I can run a vbox instance seemlessly on a workspace. [13:37] restricted extras are found in package manager? [13:37] bindi: as i said.. or.... since i started ircing when i was in college.. and i rember compiling 'irc' on the schools sun systems.. [13:37] silverlightning: yes.. [13:37] good [13:37] Dr_Willis: just saying :p [13:37] thanks again [13:37] bindi: im lucky i even rember the year i went to college.. [13:37] Hi all [13:37] bindi: i DID irc on 'printing green bar' terminals.. that used paper and no screen/disp[lay :) [13:38] Dr_Willis: lol. i wasnt even born then :( [13:38] too offtopic now i guess :p [13:38] lanoxx, that url help?

[13:45] minimec and blkdg , when i type my(tab) it completes to mypaint [13:45] mikubuntu, did you ever uninstall the one you attempted to install first before you followed minimec instructions? [13:45] Darkly, yes [13:45] mikubuntu, then hit enter again to run it [13:46] blkdg, no he din't instruct me to uninstall anything [13:46] blkdg, many thanks mate! [13:46] yeah mikubuntu he did . [13:47] mikubuntu, he said -> mikubuntu: you could definitly try that before installing mypaint. [13:47] mikubuntu: ok. Even then I would try to just install mypaint with sudo apt-get install mypaint. It will overwrite the file you compiled. [13:47] blkdg, i don't believe he did, he just told me to simply use sudo apt-get install mypaint ... i had already executed that when he said what you quoted [13:47] mikubuntu, he said -> mikubuntu: you could definitly try that before installing mypaint. === UNIX is now known as Guest5453 [13:48] ah [13:48] ok.

[14:03] mikubuntu, do what minimec said [14:03] barberan: also you may want to install the full vi package.

Btw, I am using default 10.10 [14:04] silverlightning, yup [14:04] barberan: you probably need to install the full version of vim. ubuntu comes with a somewhat botched version [14:04] barberan: its in the repos.. vim-light is the default [14:04] bastidra1or, ok, thx === matthew is now known as Guest91355 [14:04] why doesn't someone delete the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MyPaint which is the cause apparently of this problem [14:04] Dr_Willis, that's clear.

[14:05] minimec, this is what i did https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MyPaint [14:05] minimec, it was the first thing i asked for help with [14:06] ok, minimec shouldn't he rm all the files that he made, then try the line you gave him? === nucc1 is now known as GoogleGuy2 === bastidra1or is now known as bastidraZor [14:06] how can I make one application float on top of the panels? [14:07] Dr_Willis, Interestingly, what is the reason to provide vim-light by default ? I can't imagine... The harddisk space is not the cause, I suppose [14:07] minimec, i was already to the 4th line of code when you told me to abort that and do the simple sudo command -- are you guys able to edit/delete that page? [14:07] mikubuntu, when you go to the softwarecentre, is it there for download? [14:08] jo-erlend: alt right click > always on top ? [14:08] i just installed netbook remix, what is the default passwd it didnt ask during installation [14:08] blkdg, i din't try that since the instructions on the support page 'seemed' straightforward enough [14:08] 可以使用中文吗 ？ [14:08] !cn [14:08] 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 [14:08] I can't seem to get my custom ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs entries to remain after I reboot or log back in [14:08] bastidraZor: no, that doesn't work. [14:08] what do you do with a list like this ? http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/metapackages/java/ [14:08] just pick and choose randomly? [14:09] jo-erlend, in the window title [14:09] bastidraZor: actually it does, just not for the application I want it to work with. [14:09] whar r the others active chanells/ [14:09] mikubuntu, Dr_Willis asked you to run it from a term Have you done that? [14:09] same like ubuntu at freenode [14:09] * Cradam is back (gone 01:34:40) [14:10] mikubuntu, run it from a term like Dr_Willis said, and pastebin the output [14:10] bastidraZor: I was hoping I could get Windows' taskbar go on top of the bottom GNOME panel, but that doesn't seem to work :( [14:10] mikubuntu: blkdg: Ok boys. open a terminal and type 'sudo nautilus --no-destkop' in it. I topens a 'root' file manager. Then he can remove this two files in that app-installdirectory. Then close that file-manager again and do (guess what) suso apt-get install mypaint. Afterwards you might also do 'sudo apt-get autoremove' [14:10] How do you delete a folder that you deleted locally from Ubuntu One? [14:10] blkdg, ok [14:10] jo-erlend: hide the bottom panel .. autohide [14:10] bastidraZor: I know that's a possibility, but not for just one workspace, I think? [14:10] is there any other IRC channel like ubuntu 2 freenid [14:11] Can't you just set it like that in all workspaces, jo-erlend? [14:11] is user-dirs.dirs generated automatically and replaces whatever entires I make?? [14:11] minimec, nice, but I think it's running from a term, just no icon. he said that earlier (i think) [14:11] induz, take a look here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [14:12] jo-erlend: you can actually delete the bottom panel IF you keep the top panel. [14:12] blkdg minimec and dr_willis http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/569636/ [14:13] mikubuntu: ok. Even then I would try to just install mypaint with sudo apt-get install mypaint. It will overwrite the file you compiled. [14:13] bastidraZor: I'm aware of that too, but I still want this only on one workspace. [14:13] mikubuntu: I allready told you that before cooking!!! [14:13] elderman, its asking me to install some aplication [14:13] minimec, i will try that again [14:13] mikubuntu, do what minimec suggests -> sudo apt-get install mypaint === denny- is now known as denny [14:13] exit [14:14] jo-erlend: you may need to mess around with some compiz settings to make that work. [14:14] induz, what is asking you? [14:14] mikubuntu: blkdg: Just anote. I was able to clean the kitchen meanwhile... ;) [14:14] is adobe still the best flashplayer? [14:14] Mibbit? [14:15] silverlightning, adobe is the only flash player [14:15] minimec, don't drag me into your chores .... [14:15] silverlightning: adobe is a working flashplayer, for most [14:15] oh I see [14:15] Cradam, it isn't [14:15] There's others, but they are outdated [14:15] i thought flash was propietary [14:15] induz, if I understood your question, you're looking for other irc channels to discuss ubuntu and look for help? [14:15] Only able to play up to flash 8 fully, 9 partially and 10 not at all [14:15] minimec, doesn't seem to overwrite will post the output in a sec .. i have icons in the menu, but fails to launch [14:15] minimec, nothing wrong with rm'ing those files first. btw... [14:15] it is, but for some reason adobe runs lighter and more easily in my experience [14:15] silverlightning: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash may help [14:16] The GNU flash player I don't remember the name of, that is [14:16] blkdg: I agree.. [14:16] Yeah, I use Adobe too. [14:16] elderman, yes but the website for kbuntu is asking mfor Mobbit> [14:16] mibbit [14:16] minimec, lets get him to updatedb then locate mypaint then he can search and destroy by hand then he runs your line [14:16] minimec, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/569638/ [14:16] mikubuntu, one sec [14:16] FYI, Mibbit is a web IRC client [14:17] induz, I'm still figuring out your situation. Are you connecting through a website? [14:17] blkdg, k, thx [14:17] hi is anyone familiar with universal usb installer? [14:18] mikubuntu: ok. that package is installed. Now when you start the software from a console, does it run? [14:18] minimec, nope [14:18] mikubuntu: What version of ubuntu? [14:18] elderman, I want some help on kbuntu..i am at appli-->internet--IRC [14:19] minimec, 1004 [14:19] bastidraZor, its' really difficult to really know what to install ?

[14:20] silverlightning: if i am remembering right.. ubuntu-restricted-extras will install flash for you. [14:20] join#kubuntu [14:20] i'm playing a dvd but getting only sound, what do I have to do? [14:20] minimec, i'm a newbie, my first version was 704 :( [14:20] minimec, ok, i'll come to your place [14:20] mikubuntu: while compiling you never did 'sudo make install' did you? [14:20] haha [14:21] mikubuntu: ;) === GoogleGuy2 is now known as nucc1 [14:21] induz, you have to preface the command with a slash === denny is now known as denny_ [14:21] i was at the fourth line of code on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MyPaint [14:21] when the problem started [14:21] minimec, how about he tries apt-get purge package [14:21] induz, if you are running kubuntu then click here : #kubuntu , if you just want irc help then stay here [14:22] got to run [14:22] mikubuntu: 4th line is "customisable pressure mapping interface for human input devices to" [14:22] I have error messages in Update Manager, tells me to insert a CD? [14:22] mikubuntu: where exactly? [14:22] blkdg minimec and dr_willis , does one of you have the rank to pull that page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MyPaint ? :) [14:22] thanks BluesKaj [14:23] mikubuntu: I don't [14:23] Hello, I need to have some software, alternative to pinnacle. I need to transfer video file from my minidv camcorder to the PC [14:23] silverlightning: System > Administration > Software Sources .. then uncheck Installable from CD-ROM/DVD [14:23] mikubuntu: Please show me your 4th line. I don't understand what you mean with 4th line... [14:24] minimec, huh? fourth line of code is :: cd mypaint-0.7.1 [14:24] thanks [14:24] no one talks at 3kbuntu [14:24] #kbuntu [14:24] minimec, on the instructions on page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MyPaint [14:24] what is the actul difference between kBuntu and ubuntu [14:25] I thought I installed lates Java 6 but nothing works? [14:25] after installing kbuntu my system i slow [14:25] induz, what are the specs of your system? [14:25] If I cave in a download via archive manager? [14:25] mikubuntu: so you installed nothing (as I said). Can you give me the outputline on the terminal, when you launch mypaint? [14:26] Help me please, i'm install some new GTK rngines, and wallpaper has gone. on desktop i can see inly white or black colour. [14:26] mikubuntu: you never did 'sudo scons prefix=/usr/local install', did you? [14:27] I can't seem to get my custom ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs entries to remain after I reboot or log back in [14:28] minimec, no i only got to the line b4 that one [14:28] minimec, launch from term = http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/569641/ [14:30] mikubuntu: Well your pastebin sais other tings. Open a terminal and open 'sudo nautilus --no-desktop', then go to /usr/local/bin/ [14:31] ##suckless [14:32] hello all [14:32] mikubuntu: I see now that you did(!) compile mypaint in /usr/local/. You have to remove /usr/local/bin/mypaint and the /usr/local/mypaint folder. [14:32] how do you change the boot splash in ubuntu? [14:33] How do I revert my Nvidia 270 graphics drivers back to the Nvidia 260. Using Maverick [14:33] minimec, since i ran sudo apt-get install mypaint as you told me, it may have compiled, i promise you i din't compile cause i don't know how :) === Andorin is now known as Guest93356 [14:34] minimec, yes, in nautilus, at usr/local/bin there is some kind of mypaint file what would you have me do? [14:34] Is there a way to transfer a footage from mini dv camcorder to pc? [14:34] This is really a big problem. The new Nvidia 270.18 graphics drivers are crashing VMWare Workstation. [14:35] mikubuntu: delete that file, also the folder /usr/local/mypaint [14:35] Vanuatoo, yes [14:35] induz, can you tell me the program name please? [14:35] mikubuntu: That should be it. [14:35] minimec, how? just rightclick and delete? [14:35] ##suckless [14:35] Onryo, you put the drivers into a VM, or the drivers are crashing the host? [14:35] mikubuntu: Exactly. [14:36] how do i make ".wmv" work on my Ubuntu? [14:36] Odaym: install codecs [14:36] i press on search for plugin, and comes up with error "cannot find for video/.axf" [14:36] or some sort [14:36] !! tty [14:36] To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. === krillin is now known as goha4748 [14:36] ubuntu-restricted-extras if you use gnome Odaym [14:36] minimec, will rightclick and 'cut' work? i apparently din't put delete on this menu yet [14:36] video/x-asf-unknown decoder [14:36] ok === manca_ is now known as nafisa [14:37] already have those, xangua [14:37] they dont include wmv in the description [14:37] compdoc I have Maverick as my host machine and VMWare running clients. When I upgraded my drivers on Maverick the VM started crashing. [14:37] wmv is in the GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin package [14:37] Odaym: then try Vlc [14:37] which i already have [14:37] i did, error [14:38] Onryo, sadly, sometimes those 3rd party drivers work well, and sometimes not [14:38] mikubuntu: One click on the file and then the delete key. With right-click , it's rubbish bin [14:38] VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. [14:38] updating ubuntu ultimate .. its shows error!!! [14:38] KucukMubasir: find -name foo -or -name bar [14:38] jrib: thanks, I resolved it :) [14:38] !ultimate | kamalmv [14:38] kamalmv: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux), Ultimate Edition [14:38] Odaym: mmm mplayer¿¿ :S [14:38] mplayer? [14:38] I have trouble logging on to my bank [14:38] i dont think it's more supported than VLC [14:38] compdoc yeah I kind of noticed. Would be nice to revert to the old Nvidia 260 drivers. [14:38] and -o is the preferred one [14:39] Hi all, is there a short cut key to move between workspaces? [14:39] KucukMubasir: yep [14:39] ok thanks ubottu [14:39] can i jus verify that sopcast is working for other people? [14:39] minimec, there is no delete in my nautilus gui [14:39] aphrek: you can define them in shortcuts, its in the menus [14:39] Odaym: i do use smplayer sometimes, its an almost decent gui for mplayer [14:39] aeon-ltd - thanks [14:39] i cannot watch anything on sopcast currently.. ever since i reinstalled ubuntu [14:40] mikubuntu: One click on the file and then the delete key. With right-click , it's rubbish bin === MC8 is now known as MC8|away [14:40] mikubuntu: Read please!!! [14:40] !away > MC8|away [14:40] MC8|away, please see my private message [14:40] Odaym: for example setting the buffer to 20Megs was a project with VLC, where in smplayer was only few clicks away, not to mention vdpau [14:40] but does it support "MSS2"? [14:41] whatever that is.. [14:41] ubottu: where can i get support for ultimate! [14:41] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:41] Odaym: i don't support wmv, vc1 and MS stuff anymore, so no idea really [14:41] Odaym: it might [14:41] i have a 3rd hard-drive. A 2TB Western Digital 1002FAEX SATA III drive on the SATA III port on my MB. Is there any benefit to using gpt over msdos as a partition for this drive?

[14:42] i have a 3rd hard-drive. A 2TB Western Digital 1002FAEX SATA III drive on the SATA III port on my MB. Is there any benefit to using gpt over msdos as a partition table for this drive? [14:42] very funny compdoc :P [14:43] mikubuntu: So if there is no mypaint file in /usr/local/bin anymore, open a console and srat mypaint again. Does it run? [14:43] can anyone use sopcast? i cannot use ever since i reinstalled ubuntu. is the server down? or something else? please help me confirm [14:44] :( [14:44] minimec, ok, it launched from term, let me try the menu icons === ahmed is now known as Guest46629 [14:45] Ok, I have a question... I was at a programming contest recently and they were running some kind of script in the shell called "FriedScript" that added some interesting functionality(namely pretty colors XD). Anyway, I found the script but I am clueless as to how to set it up and there don't seem to be any instructions with it. Has anyone ever used this, and can anyone tell me how to install it? [14:46] Hey [14:46] hi iJosh [14:46] It appears to be a csh shell script but when I just try to run it, it kicks back some odd errors. :| [14:46] how come Wine doesnt normally work? [14:47] minimec, ok, seems to launch ok from menu also -- i am just curious about this output from the terminal can you look at it :: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/569650/ [14:47] Hiall === mousework is now known as papuli [14:47] is it really meant to be that difficult to get java up and running? [14:47] hi im having a little problem...after i installed ubuntu my internet have been very slow...i disabled ipv6 from modprobe.conf..it didnt help. what to do? sry about my poor english [14:47] weird [14:48] mikubuntu: It's because we launched nautilus with 'sudo', that's all. [14:48] Its been sloq finwin cause you probably got a intenret cap for going over your downlaod limit, i had it, what isp have you got? [14:48] finwin, I dont think ipv6 slows anything down that Ive seen [14:49] I have an issue about mouse setting, I am using logitech G1 mouse, and I want to set mouse action to the middle key and the forth key. Any idea ? thanks [14:49] mikubuntu: That story took as more than an hour. Before compiling something, please check the software repository... ;) [14:49] minimec, ok .. well thanks, i appreciate. now if i knew how to draw, this would be a fantastic program [14:50] Is there a way to move the topbar in Ubuntu to the bottom and get rid of the bottom bar? [14:50] minimec, it wouldn't have happend if that help page were not there -- how to we bring that to someone's attention? [14:50] JQQ: yes, delete the bottom panel. alt left click the top panel and drag it down [14:50] JQQ: press Alt and grag it [14:50] nice! thank you [14:51] how do you delete the panel? [14:51] JQQ: right click it [14:51] ok...seems almost too easy, lol ty i thought it would be harder [14:52] greeting guys [14:53] annath, .cshrc should probably go in the home directory [14:53] annath, is that what you were asking? [14:53] I was wondering if anyone could help understanding a bit more about netfiltering my network ? [14:53] mikubuntu: Why didn't you just check the software managing tools provided with your system. Why do you think they exist. In Ubuntu, always first try to directly install software with synaptic or the Ubuntu Software Center. [14:53] Hi all, I have an issue about mouse setting, I am using logitech G1 mouse, and I want to set mouse action to the middle key and the fourth key. Any idea ? thanks [14:54] My HTPC running Ubuntu won't go to sleep. It gets stuck in a terminal mode with the line "Checking Battery State". I tried disabling ACPI and now it gets stuck with a different line, "setting sensor limits" [14:54] How do I solve it? [14:54] the gal her is to filter my private network with ubuntu [14:54] hello, i'm trying to set up a virtual guest but the 'Local install media' is disabled [14:54] I think. Do I just run it after that, or should it automatically start working? [14:54] annath, you have to be running csh [14:54] I have two boxes, one is my client running window and the other is ubuntu [14:55] I ma [14:55] am* [14:55] I am using ufw and the ubuntu box [14:55] "uncomplete: Command not found." [14:55] :/ [14:55] which works great but I want the ubuntu box the filter the client connection as well [14:55] minimec, for the last four years since i started using linux, people in this room always have encouraged me to use the help pages and terminals as the 'best' way to do things. the softwarecenter did not exist [14:55] how can I do that ? [14:56] annath, we're already reaching the edge of my knowledge about shells, but shouldn't the script run when you initialize a new shell? [14:56] mikubuntu: Yeah, but they shurely told you to install the software first with a package manager ;) [14:56] usually i do check synaptic, and if i'm not mistaken i think i did look for mypaint in synaptic before i went to the help page [14:56] that time it did, it just gave me that error when I opened a new shell [14:56] Can anyone help me? [14:57] mikubuntu: and synaptic always existed... [14:57] so I'm pretty sure I just have to resolve that and it'll work. thanks [14:57] !helpme | LIJI [14:57] LIJI: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [14:57] anyone ?

[15:03] Odaym: use "adduser" instead if you don't know how use userad [15:03] ikonia: I'm sorry, I just closed graphical terminal emulator and opend another. [15:04] Onryo: that's not the correct syntax [15:04] Onryo: learn how to use the command "man useradd" [15:04] i dont [15:04] Now I did it for real [15:04] but i saw someone doing it and going into /home and the user was created [15:04] why wouldn't it work for me? [15:04] Onryo: forget what you say [15:04] saw [15:04] all he did was "useradd name" [15:04] Onryo: learn how to use the command, man adduser [15:04] Odaym: he used adduser. [15:04] Onryo: man useradd [15:04] how do i reinstall ubuntu desktop from command line [15:04] no he used useradd [15:04] ikonia: it helped, thanks a lot. [15:04] where should I mount an internal fixed drive /mnt/mydrive or /media/mydrive and why? [15:04] useradd -D to show the defaults [15:04] then useradd lisa [15:05] Odaym: ok, then learn how to use useradd [15:05] Odaym: man useradd [15:05] now when i say adduser lisa, says lisa already exists [15:05] codemagician: mount it wherever you want. /media seems to be customary nowadays, but it's only a convention [15:05] where do i see her? isnt it in /home? [15:05] Odaym: because you've already added the user lisa [15:05] ikonia they work fine but for the 3D functions in VMWare Workstation they are crashing the 3D functions in the clients. [15:05] was using libreoffice, pointer got round and seems it's all frozen [15:05] mouse pointer still shows though [15:05] www.youtube.com/xJoshox3 <- Subscribe please.! [15:05] Odaym: delete the user (deluser lisa) and then create again using « adduser lisa » [15:05] !spam | iJosh [15:05] Boooooooooom! [15:06] Onryo: how has the 3d fuctions got anything to do with useradd [15:06] alright jrib, that makes more sense (output-wise) [15:06] new UNIX password? [15:06] jrib, normally when I plug a device in it auto mounts.. would it be better to separate automounted drives to permantently mounted drives? [15:06] just a normal password, it means, right?

I should have used Mandriva or Fedora. [15:07] codemagician: totally up to you. Most things I actually put in my fstab will not be mounted in /media, but that's only because that's the way I like it [15:07] Onryo: apologies, I think I may have got yours and Odaym's nick mixed up === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlFK [15:07] jrib, i kind of like the idea of leaving /media for the plug and remove usb pen drives and USB external drives so I guess the next traditional place would be /mnt ... [15:08] ubotta and ikonia I thx for even answering. [15:08] codemagician: sure, or create your own [15:08] jrib, is /mnt a legacy thing? [15:08] hello [15:09] !fhs | codemagician [15:09] codemagician: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [15:09] i have problem with my automactly login [15:09] i cannot [15:09] Hi Tortola [15:09] i think that my custom.conf file is ok [15:09] ubottu all the same the older 260 drivers are not effected by this bug.

I am a little worried that I can bork the host =/ [15:09] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:09] but i cannot login [15:09] i mean automactlt [15:09] i mean automactly [15:10] como vai [15:10] jrib, aha... it says "/mnt is also a place for mount points, but dedicated specifically to "temporarily mounted" devices, such as network filesystems. " interesting [15:10] tem gent ai [15:10] maybe someone can help me? === Mark_ is now known as grid_ [15:10] Tortola: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) === gerappa is now known as Guest26333 [15:11] So I discovered something interesting regarding "ln -s". I have a Server, with an NFS share. on the Server I went to /home/matt/Data/, and then did "ln -s /var/www". From the Desktop, I connected to the Server's "Data" over NFS. However, to my surprise, when I click on the "www" in "Data", from my Desktop, it shows the "/var/www" OF MY DESKTOP. I just found this to be very interesting. Right now I am trying to figure out if there would [15:11] Tortola, tell us in more detail what's happening [15:11] Or is there a better way? [15:11] blarg; apparently this is difficult to google. The "Application Launchers" (Games, Education, Graphics, etc.), where are they located in the filesystem? [15:11] matt____: your message was truncated at "if there would ..." [15:11] my problem: i cannot login automactly, i need write my password, when i try unlock the acces screen, i cannot [15:12] matt____: thats how symlinks work [15:12] i am using gnome. if i install kubuntu-desktop and later on change my mind can i uninstall kubuntu-desktop and keep on using gnome? or would i have to reinstall? [15:12] i just want login automactly [15:12] gsb: that's fine [15:12] !puregnome | gsb [15:12] gsb: If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome [15:12] gsb: you can have them both installed at the same time [15:13] hi [15:13] jrib, may I ask.. what convention you use to mount internal secondary hard drives? [15:13] jrib: ikonia if there would be any harm in this: "mv /var/www /home/matt/Data/ && cd /var/ && ln -s /home/matt/Data/www" on my Server so that I may see it on my Desktop and edit it accordingly, and the server see it for the web. [15:13] matt____: you don't want to do that [15:13] matt____: keep the data local to the web server [15:13] ikonia: i installed kde in 9.4/9.10 then gnome started using kde mouse pointers. so the system got all messed up and i had to reinstall :( [15:13] browsing around on my own, I think the answer is here: /usr/share/applications [15:13] Tortola, what version of Ubuntu are you suing [15:14] codemagician: they usually have a specific purpose, so one is just my /home and another I just call /storage (and I tend to symlink into subdirectories here) [15:14] ikonia: i surely didn't knew abt pure gnome page that time [15:14] 10.04, in the first everything was ok, later i installed kde, later i removed, and now i have this problem [15:14] ikonia: Well......on the Server, /home/matt/Data is just another hd on the server, I would be linking /var/www to /home/matt/Data/www, on the server as well. Do you mean I should leave the original files in /var/www for other reasons? [15:14] Tortola, so automatic login has worked for you before? [15:14] elderman, yes [15:14] hello, i'm trying to set up a virtual guest but the 'Local install media' is disabled [15:15] >.> cant there just be a "hot key" to make a pick GUI desktop with a rainbow pony to end half the questions here. [15:15] matt____: ah, I thought one was a remote machine, personally, I wouldn't move the web root, but it's up to you === root is now known as farewell [15:15] Tortola, you don't encrypt your file system do you? [15:15] ikonia: Would it be best just to setup /var/www as an additional nfs share and go from there? Would there be any reasons not to make /var/www rw for the user? [15:15] no no [15:15] i did nothing, just unistall kde [15:15] 发 [15:16] matt____: sounds fine [15:16] Tortola, and you can log in normally? [15:16] ikonia: IE, sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www [15:16] yes [15:16] i write my pass and i can login [15:16] Tortola, ok, thinking, and maybe someone else will chime in who has experience with automatic login. I don't. [15:17] elderman, thanx a lot [15:17] Tortola just go into the screen saver settings and click on auto login [15:19] strange.. [15:19] when i say "useradd lisa", lisa is added, but i cannot see her home directory added to the "/home" directory === echo_ is now known as echo5 [15:19] but when i say "adduser lisa", she is added and i am prompted for her info and her home directory exists in "/home" [15:19] Hi, while programming I usually use gedit to open a file but to run the program, I always need to close the file first. Is there a solution? [15:20] Odaym: I told you, useradd lisa is NOT the correct syntax [15:20] but come to delete lisa using "deluser lisa", it says it is deleted but the home directory of hers remains in "/home" [15:20] Odaym: useradd is a more advanced tool, you need to learn how to use it [15:20] Odaym: that's normal. useradd and adduser aren't the same thing [15:20] im sorry ikonia but i am following someone in RH.. [15:20] on [15:20] Odaym: then stop [15:20] I mean I can just gedit file.cpp make changes and save. Run through the terminal without closing the file === nijabo is now known as Hible [15:20] ikonia: Would there be any possible security problems if anyone could write to /var/www? As in the command above? I'm running php and just wondering if there are any vulnerabilities that could possibly be used for an outsider to change the php files since root is not needed [15:21] matt____: yes, that is a risk [15:21] Odaym: because there might be important files in that users home directory so we don't delete those by default :) [15:21] bruteforce_allti I would use Eclipse for C++ and Jave etc. I personally like DDD for C coding. [15:21] i can rm -r them? [15:22] How do i install the theme for gnomemenu? [15:22] yes [15:22] alright, already did [15:22] ikonia: the page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome is really helpful, does it apply to 10.10 too? [15:22] i am a newbie of linux :) [15:23] gsb: sure [15:23] ikonia: So do you have any suggestions as to how I may accomlish what I wish? Or is it pretty much one way or the other, [15:23] hi... [15:23] Anyone use gnomemenu at all? [15:23] yes i am use gnomenu.. but i like KDE too.. [15:23] matt____: it's just about minimising risk to acceptable levels, I'm not %100 sure of what you actually want to do to be honest as the explination isn't %100 clear [15:23] anyone know how to add wine menu manually...? i just removed it from menu, and wanna back again.. [15:24] ow ow oww... [15:24] ikonia: thanks a lot [15:24] Does anyone know how to get gnomemenu to work and get theme install for it? [15:24] ah, i should learn to read the manuals more [15:24] groupadd or useradd CREATES the group or add [15:24] ADDuser adds it [15:24] go to synaptic.. [15:24] :) [15:25] ikonia: I'm running wordpress, lamp server. I am trying to devise a simple way i can edit the Server from my Desktop without having to sftp, etc etc, and without having to worry about root permissions to edit the file. Perhaps I'll just create a shortcut in my menu to open a nautilus "rooted" sftp connection, nothing wrong with that I suppose [15:25] Odaym: I did tell you to read this a long time ago [15:26] matt____: can you not edit it on the server, ssh in ? [15:26] hmm, not quite [15:27] ikonia: And then use nano, etc? I can do that, but I'm also dropping a lot of images for themes, formatting, etc. [15:27] true ikonia [15:27] matt____, sounds like you want to mount the remote directory using sshfs [15:27] i will from now on [15:27] matt____: a simple way of doing this is create a local copy on your workstation, edit there, and then rsync over ssh up to your server [15:28] matt____: it makes editing easier as it's local, and then upload easy as you just "sync" [15:28] hi folks. Just downloaded Banshee [from 10.04 standard repo] to see what all the fuss is about... first impression... hmm, not that different from Rhythmbox... [15:28] ikonia: That's something interesting, it'd also make sure I'd have a backup at all times. [15:28] matt____: even better [15:28] ... but then I thought: "wot, no 'visualisations', & went back to RB?" Am I missing a trick here or is there a use other people are finding which I am not? [15:28] halo...? [15:28] matt____: you can even put your local copy in subversion/git/cvs for version control [15:29] hi thre [15:29] ikonia: I used rsync over ssh at one point in time, I'll read about what I want. Thanks! [15:29] Hey folks, my desktop disappeared a while back and I can't seem to get it to return. Can anybody help? [15:29] Yerushalmi, call the police [15:29] matt____: if you need help, shout, also if you can it's worth looking at local version control so you can track your changes [15:29] is there possibility in ubuntu installer to skip|disable|just not install molestatory grub2 terror ? [15:30] r0ute: don't be useless to people [15:30] nettezzaumana: there is a "do not install boot loader" option [15:30] Yerushaalmi: startx should bring it back if your stuck in a console [15:30] Anyone here using 10.10 ever get Rigs Of Rods going? [15:30] ramnet: Not stuck in a console - I have the upper bar and my desktop background but the ubuntu-netbook unity-style overlay is missing [15:31] nettezzaumana: grub2 is much less a terror than legacy grub [15:31] r0ute: I did, but the police force here is pretty useless, basically just said they'll make a note of it and call me if it shows up on the black market. [15:31] it does a much better job at detecting your config etc [15:31] Yerushalmi, good stuff :) [15:31] lestat: depends on angle of view [15:32] Yerushalmi: You mean you can use your gnome as you want, but you don't see the files of the Desktop foler on your desktop? [15:32] lestat: but from *my *angle *of *view is molestatory rapistic terror :P [15:32] nettezzaumana: i have to admit i was a bit afraid too at first, because it's very different etc, but it's also really easy to use [15:32] Has anyone using Ubuntu 10.10 ever gotten Rigs of Rods going? I'm actually tempted to install windows on a seperate partition for it. =/ An' i've ne'er done that. [15:33] lestat: it's due to the that ubuntu is not my primary system and i'd better add ubuntu to my bootloader then doing some chainloader in legacy or in the worst case doing adding my other systems to ubuntu grub [15:33] soft-body physics [15:33] What does this command do: 33<<4 ? === Inumedia__ is now known as Inumedia [15:34] minimec :I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Edition, so I don't have gnome. I apparently have something like Unity: horizontal bars down the left side of the screen that read "Favorites", "Files and folders", etc. [15:35] Diverdude: that would execute 33 and pipe the contents of file 4 into it. better to tell us what your trying to do methinks :) [15:35] Yerushalmi: Oh I see. I don't use unity, so I cannot help you. [15:36] minimec: Or at least I used to. Now I just have my desktop background picture, which blinks completely white every so often, but the black bar across the top of the screen with the time and everything, and the black thing that appears to tell me network and battery information, and all keyboard commands work fine. [15:36] hi [15:36] minimec: Thanks anyways. Anybody else? [15:36] why does "fdisk -l" produce nothing? [15:37] Yerushalmi: no problem. [15:37] i read the man page and it mentions the -l option to list the partitions [15:37] I've got a problem with configuring access to subversion repository via apache2. I installed apache2 modules "dav_module", "dav_svn_module", "authz_svn_module", added code snippet to apache2.conf http://pastebin.com/A0HsQX7r , added user test via sudo htpasswd -c /etc/subversion/passwd user_name, but I when i do "svn co http://192.168.7.1/svn/myproject --username test" I get "svn: Could not [15:37] open the requested SVN filesystem". [15:37] erusul its me again, hi [15:37] i have some problems, i want to switch to ubuntu 64 bit [15:38] 64bit will solve teh problem? [15:38] I also want that, is that feasible without losing anything? [15:38] Yerushalmi: don't know the answer for sure but if that was my prob I would log off, select Gnome from from "Session" [bottom right of screen] & see if that's ok. [15:38] i did a flash memory booteable with the ubuntu 64bit iso file, but when i try to boot it appears BOOT ERROR, can somebody help me? [15:38] I'm an ubuntu newbie; I'm trying to assemble two raid-0 drives (from a windows machine) on ubuntu; will mdadm --assemble work given that the raid is from windows? [15:38] Yerushalmi: ... & then switch back to Ubuntu Netbook Edition" [15:39] Odaym: you need to use "sudo" [15:39] matthew_t: that will never work [15:39] ah thank you [15:39] matthew_t: windows raid and fake raid are not compatible with Linux and mdadm is only for Linux software raid [15:39] suprengr: Can't. I only have Ubuntu Netbook Edition, Ubuntu Netbook Edition 2D, and xterm under session. 2D actually works fine but for some reason doesn't automatically load a window manager (I have to run metacity manually upon logging in), which took me a while to figure out; xterm just blinks and brings me back to the login screen [15:39] no human readable on fdisk..hmm [15:40] Odaym: what command did you do ? [15:40] ikonia: Ah, thanks. So is there any way to read the data from the drives? [15:40] Yerushalmi: you don't have a log-in screen on start uo? [15:40] So, in my ongoing effort to confuse and grow myself, I installed ubuntu server edition on virtualbox, how do I see what the server thinks it IP is? I set it up as 'nat' [15:40] matthew_t: not really no. [15:40] suprengr: Either way, coming back to Ubuntu Netbook Edition regular doesn't seem to have changed anything there, it still doesn''t work. [15:40] matthew_t: less so as it's raid0 [15:40] hilarie: ifconfig? [15:40] "fdisk -l" and it worked, ikonia, but i want human readable..unless the Blocks column is not referring to the size [15:40] don't know what Blocks are [15:40] suprengr: Well, I bypass login automatically but I can always click logout to get to it, and that's what I did. I logged out and changed session to UNE 2D, which actually worked. [15:40] ifconfig? ty [15:40] Why do I get this error? virtus@Cathedral:~/builder$ tar -xvf RoR-0.30-linux.tgz [15:40] gzip: stdin: not in gzip format [15:41] Odaym: blocks is the size [15:41] ikonia: Thanks for the help! [15:41] suprengr: But like I said, no window manager so I have to leave a terminal open, and also it's a lot slower. [15:42] since adding my drives to /etc/fstab they have disappeared from the Places menu in gnome? [15:42] :) [15:42] codemagician: because they are mounted outside of gnome most probably [15:43] codemagician: it shouldn't matter but I have seen that before for network shares [15:43] ikonia, can i have both? [15:43] Yerushalmi: Sorry, I though you meant you *had* the tabs down the side of screen. [15:43] ikonia, i have mapped my drives to /storage/wd and /storage/blue [15:43] codemagician: you should be able to, [15:43] Why do I get this error, guys? virtus@Cathedral:~/builder$ tar -xvf RoR-0.30-linux.tgz [15:43] gzip: stdin: not in gzip format [15:43] ikonia, but i'd like to see their label names also in the Places menu [15:43] Valkyrie: tar zxvf [15:43] suprengr: I don't have them anymore. I was describing what my desktop is supposed to look like :) [15:43] Valkyrie, you need a z flaag [15:43] Yerushalmi: :) [15:44] Valkyrie, z means uncompress [15:44] I tried it with a z flag [15:44] suprengr: [15:44] Gah [15:44] Same error, not in gzip format [15:44] Valkyrie: file RoR-0.30-linux.tgz what do you get ? [15:44] o O HTML Document text. [15:44] Valkyrie: type 'file RoR-0.30-linux.tgz'. it will tell you what kind of file it is [15:45] Valkyrie: you've download the html link, not th efile [15:45] ikonia: beat me to it :P [15:45] file [15:45] Valkyrie: did you try to get it with wget ? [15:45] Anyway to adjust fanspeed in a nvidia GT240? The blob driver i get from ubuntu does not let me control, and nvclock does not support GT240 yet. [15:45] suprengr: I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all sorts of netbook-related packages, no good. I'm fairly certain this happened because of a set of updates I ran the night before it started, but I don't know how to uninstall a package and reinstall an old version or something. [15:45] ikonia: Yea. 'twas from a script [15:45] ikonia, do you know how to add those back to the Places menu? [15:45] codemagician: no [15:45] anyone ever connect their cell phones to their computer to retrieve pictures? [15:45] Valkyrie: download it from the web page [15:45] Can somebody help me with getting internal / external mic work in Acer Aspire 7540G, I have already tried: googling, installing latest alsa-driver [15:45] linux_is_my_hero: i do that all the time [15:45] any other takers... I want to add my drives to the Places menu in Gnome? [15:45] linux_is_my_hero: it very much depends on the model/make of cell phone [15:45] the problem is there is no sound at all [15:45] codemagician: i believe that is done through the gconf-editor too [15:45] l [15:45] from mic [15:45] tool [15:46] iknoia: lg cosmos [15:46] jack_, got any idea which main section its in? [15:46] ikonia: lg cosmos === xxx is now known as uj20-0-0 === uj20-0-0 is now known as uj2000 === uj2000 is now known as uj20-0-0 [15:47] codemagician: no idea : ) [15:47] Sorry for alittle of topic, I know there has been a much talk about official steam client on linux. and Steam has not confirmed that (as far as I know) but will there be a client for linux in the near future?

Anybody know which of these if any are likely to be the one that broke my desktop? [15:52] Yerushalmi: how did it broke/ [15:52] ? [15:52] hi [15:52] cjo232: hi [15:52] Yerushalmi: those appear to be for video playing, logging in... and thats about it [15:53] :) [15:53] should there be a /folder subdir in the .local/share/trash dir? [15:53] cjo232: :D [15:53] jack_: I'm on Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and so my desktop isn't normal gnome but rather this Unity-style thing. Thursday night I ran an update, and Friday morning upon turning on the computer I find I only have the desktop background, which blinks grey occasionally. [15:53] cjo232: i have 3 folders under that directory. [15:54] Yerushalmi: does that happen for all users? [15:54] jack_: Yup [15:54] jack_: i have no folders under /trash === andreas__ is now known as Dr_Deadmeat [15:54] cjo232: well, since its Trash i wouldn't worry about it [15:55] where is my .vimrc file?i don't find it in ~ ,i have only .viminfo [15:55] Yerushalmi: maybe you have a corrupted lib or something strange like that. im not sure how to check that but i think you can with dkpg [15:55] eXpLoD: try `sudo updatedb` `locate .vimrc` [15:55] nothing outputs [15:55] jack_: So it might have nothing to do with the upgrade the night before? How would I scan for corrupted libs? [15:56] Is there a "reinstall everything" command? :) [15:56] eXpLoD: create it [15:56] Hi all :D [15:56] I like Ubuntu very much. [15:56] eXpLoD: then it sounds like you dont have one. :P [15:56] Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone. [15:56] jack_: There isn't a /folder subdir under /trash that the track can panel is located in?. IE the trash location is in '/trash'? [15:56] yvind: its so-so. :P [15:56] *trash panel [15:56] Easy to install games :D [15:56] can i use vim if i dont have .vimrc? [15:56] eXpLoD: ls -lR / | grep .vimrc or just make a new one [15:56] eXpLoD: type 'vim' and see what happens [15:56] help! i have a flash memory and when i try to boot ubuntu 64 it says BOOT error, i used the flash drive to boot in my laptop and it worked [15:56] i use vim all the time,lol [15:57] I'm moving to a new computer. Can I just copy my ssh and pgp keys over, or do I need to "export" something? [15:57] cjo232: trash panel? [15:57] eXpLoD: you just create ~/.vimrc if you want to put something there and don't already have one [15:57] the bottom right corner pannel with the trah bin icon. [15:57] mamece2: flash memory? like a flash card plugged into the machine? [15:57] hello, is there a program or a way to control (over remote client) a camera that is connected to lets call it a server? [15:57] jack_ a usb flash memopry [15:58] mamece2: you're trying to boot from it? [15:58] mamece2: does it work in any other machines? [15:58] Because when I click on it, it is always empty yet when I delete files , I don't think they are being straight through deleted . [15:58] I noticed that technology in Linux is faster and higher than Microsoft Windows. [15:58] Hello everyone, i just finished installing ubuntu on an EXTERNAL HDD using my other laptop, i would like to run the ubuntu OS on this laptop (an old acer travelmate, which fits the qualifications as far as i could see) but from the bios all i have is "external devices" and that jumps right back to windows (i put the harddrive last on the list...) how can i create a bootloader that would work [15:58] also on THIS computer? thanks in advance for any help (complete linux noob!) [15:58] nevermind i got it....it's in usr/share/vim..and its not hidden [15:58] Simisu: you may be able to install grub to your internal hd mbr and have it point to your windows/ubuntu installs [15:59] !info zoneminder | bilig [15:59] bilig: zoneminder (source: zoneminder): Linux video camera security and surveillance solution. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.24.2-7ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 1431 kB, installed size 6076 kB [15:59] Simisu: Could be, that your BIOS doesn't allow to boot from external sources. [16:00] Anywho.... What does " NooBoonToo sets +i on NooBoonToo" means? [16:00] ubottu, ok thank you very much! [16:00] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:00] minimec: if it has external devices listed why not? [16:01] NooBoontoo: means you have set yourself to invisible. This prevents you from appearing in global WHO/WHOIS by normal users, and hides which channels you are on. It is strongly recommended that you set this user mode, and it is now enabled by default. see http://freenode.net/using_the_network.shtml [16:01] jack_ yes it worked on my laptop , but not in my desktop [16:01] Simisu: thats a BIOS question. has htis ever worked? [16:01] this confuses me;i have 2 vim directories,one in /etc/ and one in /usr/share,and both have vimrc's ,but which one does my bash use? [16:01] jack_: how big is this grub what is mbr and where do i find it? thanks [16:01] I'm moving to a new computer. Can I just copy my ssh and pgp keys over, or do I need to "export" something? [16:01] Simisu: Well, then yes... Check your BIOS. There my be an option to activate some Boot options. [16:01] mamece2: sounds like your machine cant read from the usb [16:01] eXpLoD: bash uses nither. vim maybe uses both [16:01] jack_: what happens is if I delete something, it doesn't show up in the trashcan. I tried deleting the trash can icon on the desktop panel and adding the trashcan again and it did the same thing... [16:01] IdleOne, I dont remember setting that option, perhaps the administrator wants to kick me out of here? [16:01] pionar: why do you want to do that? cant you just create new ones? [16:02] jack_ i tryed in several slots [16:02] hello. I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and its great. First time with linux.

[16:02] -i [16:02] Nooboontoo -i [16:02] NooBoontoo: freenode network sets it automatically on all users on the network [16:02] cjo232: so when you delete stuff it doesn't get moved to TrasH? [16:02] jack_: untill now i've tried multiple times to install ubuntu on this computer but it always crashed... so i used the other one, so nope... i never tried it before [16:02] no [16:02] NooBoontoo: if you want to remove it type: /mode -i NooBoontoo [16:02] jack_ I don't want to recopy my ssh keys to the 12 hosts i regularly ssh into. [16:02] frank083: perhaps that is your video drivers? try using different ones [16:03] hey! [16:03] minimec: you mean other opetions then the boot list? [16:03] Oh, It says " You are not the channel operator" [16:03] jack_: and it doesnt seem to 'permanently delete' it either because it is saying my /home folders alloted space is full 100% [16:03] Simisu: crashed how? have you tried using wubi (if you have a winblowz install)? [16:03] jack_ but videos render fine, could it be video anyway? [16:03] cjo232: hah nice [16:03] NooBoontoo: sorry /umode -i NooBoontoo [16:03] eXpLoD: just checked and /etc/vim/vimrc explains it in detail in the header. where does de confusin come from ? [16:03] Lisent up Mr. Channel operator, If dont want me here just say it!! === jo__ is now known as joshhunt_ [16:03] frank083: it sounds like an xserver problem to me. what video card do you have? [16:04] NooBoontoo: if you actually read what i said you would see it has nothing to do with the channel or the operators [16:04] Simisu: On my HP8000 I have to activate a boot menu to be able to boot from alternate sources. I then get a basic boot menu from where I can choose my boot source. [16:04] When I try to login using ssh I get the mesage: "This account is currently not available." Does someone knows why? [16:04] jack_: geforce fx 5500 [16:04] Jack_: just stopped, the capslock light was blinking and nothing was happaning, wouldn't react... so on so forth... each time in a different stage, sometimes crashed differently... [16:04] it confuses me because they are both the same... [16:04] pionar: i think you CAN copy the ssh keys to the new machine and have it work fine. all you do is copy them into a file to begin with right? [16:04] error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libCg.so: invalid ELF header [16:04] o O Why? [16:04] frank083: do you know what driver you're using? maybe you could try the ones from nvidia.com [16:05] yeah, you just copy the public key over to authorized_hosts or something like that on the remote host. [16:05] !! ati [16:05] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:05] eXpLoD: the one in /etc/ averrides the one in usr and is the one you should edit [16:05] jack_: do you know why it seem to not be deleting the ifles permanently nor temporarily in the trash can? [16:05] pionar: then yes it should work fine. [16:05] minimec: like i said, i put my native HDD last on the list, it should have tried all the options before and it still went to the damn windows [16:05] *files [16:05] eXpLoD: use ~/.vimrc to edit your vim settings. Don't use the system-wide one unless you really want to edit the system wide settings and not your user's settings [16:05] jack_ the Nvidia downloaded automatically, and worked fine for a few days. This happened today [16:05] cjo232: if your disk is still full, they're not being deleted. they're being moved somewhere. perhaps you're looking int he wrong place [16:05] jack_, thanks. [16:05] frank083: iunno what to tell you brother. check your logs to see if anything is out of the ordinary [16:05] minimec: like i said, i put HDD last on the list, it should have tried all the options before and it still went to the damn windows [16:05] oops [16:05] Simisu: On what list? [16:06] jack_: ok [16:06] on the boot list of course [16:06] cjo232: do you have a big file you can delete, or have deleted? [16:06] Simisu: On what boot list? Grub? [16:06] you can use baobab to see where the space is being allocated [16:06] cjo232: ^ [16:06] my computers boot list? [16:07] the bios boot list! [16:07] Simisu: do you get grub at all? [16:07] jack_ if i have the iso image what can i use to make a usb flash booteable? im using unebootin [16:07] uhmm they were moved to /home/.trash/ ^^ when I deleted the trash icon and added it [16:07] jack_: ^ [16:07] mamece2: i think unetbootin does it for you [16:07] what is this grub? [16:07] i don't knopw [16:07] Simisu: its the boot loader then lets you choose between windows or linux [16:07] jack_ how can i know what is failin, something more than BOOT ERROR [16:07] Simisu: I am sorry. I don't understand you. In my eyes you should check your BIOS for such a feature. [16:08] Simisu: if you dont see that, it means either (1) the bootloader was installed to the wrong mbr, or (2) you are booting to the wrong disk [16:08] nope i don't get that, neither on the computer i installed ubuntu with (i think... i should check again but bueno) on this one i don't get it for sure, it just jumps into windows :O( [16:08] mamece2: all it says its boot error? [16:08] any idea which program causes a ~ directory to be created in my / [16:08] ? [16:08] what is an MBR? [16:08] mbr! [16:08] Master Boot Record [16:09] Odaym: mkdir?

[16:09] and the directory has nothing inside [16:09] oh... well it won't be here on this computer because i didn't use this one to install ubuntu (i installed it on an external HDD) [16:09] using another computer [16:09] YO. =/ WHAT THE FU- [16:09] Odaym: does it come back if you delete it?

Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [16:13] yesterday i was complaining that my 10.04 installation had slow internet and the solution i found was rather unusual, can someone help me figure this out. The problem was that whenever i launched any browser it would take for ever to load any website, sites were timing out before making connection, and speedtest.net (When i finally got it to load) reported .5mbps to 1.5mbps down, and like 3mbps up, however on this same machine in an [16:13] so what i found out was that if i click the mouse on the dialog border where the title of the browser is, and shake it vigorously, then the sites wouldnt time out [16:13] Simisu: So you need to tell your BIOS that there are also alternate disks to boot from. On my laptop this is an option in the BIOS (I told you). DOn't mess around with 'mbr'. Again I think you should check your BIOS for 'alternate boot options' === McDuck is now known as McDuck1 [16:13] Eighteens: coincidence [16:13] minimec and that would appear somewhere alse then the BOOT list? [16:13] i'm not making this up, i have to actually shake the screen of all the apps to get them to respond to commands [16:13] propobly is a frimware [16:13] *firmware [16:14] im having a minor problem with minecraft, when i click then the mouse appears for a split second [16:14] Simisu: Again I don't know what you mean with BOOt list. [16:14] Eighteens, incredible story, literally. [16:14] Simisu: maybe we talk about the same thing... [16:14] Eighteens: did you build the computer yourself? [16:15] Eighteens: maybe some problems with interrupts ? [16:15] Eighteens: may be some bug gets stuck in software which gets un-stuck upon shaking [16:15] hi all, i am having problems installing veetle. i keep getting operation not permitted error messages. http://askubuntu.com/questions/27273/install-veetle-keep-seeing-tar-mozilla-plugins-cannot-utime-operation-not-p [16:16] minimec i think we are talking about the same thing :O( and i tried that already... [16:16] why does sudo check name resolution? 'sudo: unable to resolve host jack-desktop' [16:17] I am unable to play sound on Ubuntu. Can someone help me? [16:17] Simisu: I am not sure. Did you manually add the external HD as 'installed' harddrive? In my eyes this is wrong. You need the boot from USB option or so. [16:17] Zeu5 , what's veetle?" [16:17] jack_: sudo needs to determine upon which host sudo is running, in order to determine your permission. [16:17] jack_: i think your /etc/hosts doesn't have a loopback entry [16:17] bilig: gotcha [16:17] BluesKaj: www.veetle.com [16:18] gsb: i know what my issue is. my resolv.conf is p ointing to the wrong nameserver, however, i cannot edit it cos jack-desktop is not resolving apparently. :P [16:18] gsb: also, you're right. i do not have the entry in my hosts file [16:18] jack_ i used unebootin to make a harddrive booteable, then i choose in the bios to boot from it , and i got the same error, boot error and then windows start [16:18] i can sit there and if i do nothing at all, it takes forever for websites to respond... but the second i get frustrated and grab that ol title bar and give him a shake, the darn thing just comes to life [16:19] jack_: then boot into single user mode and edit files [16:19] gsb: i fixed it [16:19] su works fine [16:19] the output of lspci | grep audio is "00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 50)" but aplay -l says "aplay: device_list:235: no soundcards found..." [16:19] Zeu5: You need to set the 'execution bit' for the installer file. In the filemanager --> properties of the file. [16:19] minimec: already did [16:20] jack_: means you have your root account enabled [16:20] Eighteens: are you sure you're using a PC and not an etch-a-sketch?

I still have the file on that machine and ./veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh launchaes the installer [16:28] !away > 13WAA6LW9 [16:28] 13WAA6LW9, please see my private message [16:28] so how do I hide the ribbon in Maverick netbook? [16:28] "launcher" [16:28] minimec: i think u are mistaken [16:28] ah, i think i get it... so the grub2 goes on the computer harddrive to control first the boot menu, which means that grub is not where my ubuntu IS (on another HDD) so i have to install grub2 separately on this computer also in order to access my ubuntu os on the external HDD right? how do i install grub2 on this computer? === krish is now known as Guest39862 [16:29] researcher1: should be somewhere in here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [16:29] minimec: the instaler does work. its the installation that did not work [16:29] @ Jack_: I burned a live CD and was wondering if I could save add–ons/files to an external hard drive. Basically run maverick from the live CD and save everything else on the external hard drive. Is it possible?

[16:30] Lol [16:31] erUSUL, but I want to need 8GB :-P [16:31] Simisu: it should. you could also install the external drive's MBR and then point the bios to it. that shoud fix the issue [16:31] wtbtr: whats the total memory reported by free? [16:31] erUSUL, thought about using protectfs or something similar. Hoped there was a pure caching fs. [16:31] Mem: 4026 2087 1939 0 83 1509 [16:31] you only have 4gb [16:32] How can i kill a Zombie process?

[16:32] !grub2 [16:32] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [16:32] gsfai: you can't [16:32] ^ [16:32] gsfai: most of the time you can't [16:32] gsfai: you can send sighup to it's parent, or kill it's parent [16:32] erusul can u help me install ubuntu 64 bit? i have a flash memory that keeps showing me BOOT ERROR [16:32] its parent is init.. [16:32] gsfai: in order to find out which process the parent is, you can use pstree [16:32] gsfai: reboot. [16:32] I am reporting memory from my 4GB desktop but I'm considering getting a 8GB netbook [16:32] researcher1: arounf the configuring grub 2 section [16:33] @Jack_: could I put /usr to the external hard drive to be able to use any version of Ubuntu? [16:33] that doesnt even make sense, why would a zombie process take 99% CPU? [16:33] wtbtr: ok, so on your 8gb netbook it wills how 8gb and probably use 100% of that depending on how much you use the disk === MC8|away is now known as MC8 [16:33] mamece2: never used usb to install... what tool did you used to build the usb key? unetbootin ? [16:33] THANKS EVERYONE [16:33] gsfai: weird, what's its name? [16:33] hi all [16:33] kylek14: i dont know what that means but i dont know what kind of stuff that may break :) [16:33] gaelfx: ok [16:33] ActionParsnip: its ktorrent now [16:33] jack, right. I'm slowly understanding this. [16:33] erusul unebootin, it worked to boot in my laptop, but doesnt work in my desktop [16:33] also happened with transmission, and vuze, and every other torrent client i tried [16:33] wtbtr: linuxatemyram.com [16:34] wtbtr: http://linuxatemyram.com [16:34] not sure which one links [16:34] they all hang, and when i try to kill them, they go zombie, on do_exit channel [16:34] hey there [16:34] gsfai: kill it dead, or kill the parent [16:34] ActionParsnip: impossible to kill init [16:34] mamece2: bios supports booting from usb? is the order set right in the bios? [16:34] wtbtr: 4Gb is plenty for linux. I suggest you set vm.swappiness to 0 [16:34] kill it dead?? [16:34] gsfai: guess its a reboot then [16:35] pff [16:35] ActionParsnip: why would you suggest that? Heh [16:35] can i pick someones brain for a second...should be a yes or no answer i would assume [16:35] erusul yes i hit F4 and then i choose boot from kingstoon key , and then black screen and the message BOOT ERROR [16:35] ActionParsnip: why not just do a swapoff? [16:35] ActionParsnip, I don't use swap. I have an usb system disk. [16:35] how can something get stuck like that? [16:35] anyone have an idea what channel i'd go to to discuss TCP data ?? [16:35] kernel bug? [16:35] delinquentme: i guess ##networking [16:35] !ask | qwerty1 [16:35] qwerty1: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [16:35] or something [16:35] gsfai: i doubt it. probably memory issues. [16:35] I need to stream line1 input (which is analog signal from my radio) to icecast with darkice. Trying to figure what device should I use in darkice config. I have no /dev/dsp0 in my system. But I'm able to config sound with alsamixer and i'm able to listen mp3s with mpg123. [16:35] gsfai: failed system call; serious i/o error. also killing with -9 is a bad idea [16:36] can someone help me.. my xorg.0.log tels me that hey cannot load module nvidea.. now gnome doesn't start... [16:36] jack_: because swapoff will remove the option of swap, if swap is needed then it will be used but only if necessary [16:36] root@eject:~# uname -a [16:36] Linux eject 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux [16:36] mamece2: really dunno what can be [16:36] Hi - I am trying to set up hamachi - It has created a ham0 interface and given me an IP, which I can ping - but when I attempt to ping someone else on my hamachi vpn via their hamachi interface IP, I get 'ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted' - anyone got any ideas what might be wrong? [16:36] erUSUL: its probably an i/o error, since transmission hangs when 'allocating disk space' [16:36] erusul :(! [16:36] but it happens every time [16:36] MysterX: how did you installed the nv drivers? [16:36] wtbtr: if you have no swap space then you'll be fine [16:36] gsfai: get a nwe harddisk :P [16:36] gsfai: check logs? is the disk daying? [16:36] Bodsda, check u r firewall rules [16:36] ActionParsnip: why would you suggest 0 swappiness instead of swapoff? [16:36] dmesg or syslog? [16:37] gsfai: could it be that your disk is full? [16:37] eject_ck: I have run sudo ufw disable [16:37] gsfai: both [16:37] awsome! linuxatemyram tells me what I want to hear :D [16:37] gsfai: dmesg first [16:37] i have ubuntu 10.10 and wifi doesnt work..after some research ive found that i need to install 10.04 and do some installing and reinstalling of some items...if i put 10.04 on the computer will it overwrite 10.10 and will i have 3 OS with windows being the 3rd?

If you set swappiness to 0 then when the ram is completely full, the swap will be used [16:37] Bodsda: check what do you have first [16:37] to change default boor order do I have to change this line in grub file "GRUB_DEFAULT=0"? [16:37] ActionParsnip: i think if your ram is completely full you have other issues. haha [16:37] and what am i supposed to look for? "I/O" ? [16:38] qwerty1: what card? what research did you find? [16:38] but is changed xorg.conf bit and i think there is a problem.. [16:38] MysterX: i did not asked that; i asked how did you installed those drivers [16:38] Bodsda: iptables -L [16:38] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1424280 http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10283164&postcount=12 [16:38] gsfai: « dmesg | grep -i ata » [16:38] its a intel 5 card? [16:38] Can someone help with audio ? [16:38] is it supported to upgrade a desktop release with do-release-upgrade ? [16:38] erUSUL: i downloaded the drivers from the nvidia site and installed them... [16:38] jack_: if you are working with huge imges of 6Gb, you will need it if you only have 4Gb RAM, won't you? [16:39] how can i hide the menu of the bash terminal by default? [16:39] qwerty1: did you try the second lnk stuff? [16:39] MysterX: well that explains... everytime there is a kernel or xorg upgrade you have to reinstall the drivers [16:39] no errors reported on either dmesg or syslog [16:39] hi. i am sick of wireless not working reliably. it connects sometimes and other times it just wont. i have to restart the computer and it intermittently works. the wireless is always disabled at start up so i also have to enable it first ..

FIXES...etc link? [16:41] yes [16:41] researcher1, get StartUp-Manager from Synaptic and use it to reset boot order [16:41] ive never used ubuntu before...thought i would give it a shot [16:41] you are trying to ping on gateway or from internal network ? [16:41] ActionParsnip: i don't have advanced settings there [16:41] wedwo- ok [16:41] eject_ck: internal network [16:41] check on your peer ham interface with tcpdump [16:42] le tme try [16:42] exutux: the advanced tab, on the right?

I'm fairly certain I didn't have this problem in 10.4 [17:07] i've got a Asus m3n78-vm with a quad core processor.. [17:07] MysterX: An 8500 is a pretty old, weak graphics card. It simply mightn't be able to do 1080p. It depends on the codec they're using too. If it's h264 you're probably bunched [17:07] drc, thanks, but did that. devices are not automounting. problem is, they are displayed in left side of nautilus or on toolbar- though notmounted. If i click them they will mount under.media.uuid... [17:08] King-C: but it works undr vista [17:08] Okay, I have a question... I modified my .bashrc to add colors to my command line and now every time I type a long command that has to wrap, it wraps onto the same line and starts overwriting the text already there. o-O I modified the PS1 line slightly, but just to add colors. [17:08] MysterX: I haven't followed this story for a while, but I seem to remember reading something once about Linux being unable to do hardware accelerated H264 playback.

[17:09] ok ok .. i will do that hang on :D [17:10] ruan, is there some sort of recovery that i can run from the cd? [17:10] stevecam: it depends how you're trying to recover, but yes, you can run ubuntu itself off the cd [17:11] rtdos: it loks like the driver is atl2 [17:11] what program is using detected drives (usb) then making available to automount under media with uuid? I want to always mount manually in a different directory with different options. [17:11] rtdos: sudo modprobe atl2 [17:11] ok gimme a sec erUSUL [17:11] chang-li: udisks + udev [17:11] it definitely works with an unmodified .bashrc... could anyone pick out what I messed up in the PS1 to cause that? It's slightly confusing since I barely modified it [17:12] erUSUL, should i just uninstall those programs, or edit configs. [17:12] hi, any remeber the name of this package ubuntu-extra-somthing [17:12] chang-li: really dunno; you can not get rid of udev is used for much more that just that [17:12] ugmg: ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:12] ugmg: ubuntu-restricted-extras [17:13] hmm VLC is using 95-100% where totem&XBMC are using 100+% [17:13] chang-li: I would assume any disk with a uuid could be mounted at boot with changes in /etc/fstab [17:13] thanks :) [17:13] annath: in #bash you will get more help [17:13] ok, I'll try there [17:13] rtdos: did eth0 appeared again? [17:13] sacarlson, I dont want to use fstab. want to mount a device listed via dmesg manually. [17:14] how do i change my refresh rate from 60 to 70 [17:14] eross: system > preferences > monitor [17:14] chang-li: you can use a script to mount it if you like [17:14] I willlook into udisks. [17:14] monitors* [17:14] I have ubuntu installed on an external usb drive. Usually while on justin.tv watching videos, the hard drive seems to lock up, freezing up the system. Any idea how to fix this? [17:15] ok it gave me choice - vendor graphics which is nvidia settings panel, other was unsupporteed graphics driver [17:15] is it a wd green fedora_newb? [17:15] King-C: VLC is using 95% -100% cpu ... [17:15] sacarlson, thanks, but no scripts are needed. must mount manually from terminal. [17:15] nvidia settings panel [17:15] MysterX: OK, how powerful is your CPU [17:15] mycosys, I don't think so, its a cheapo brand that came with the external bay. [17:15] ruan, my linux system boots into a busybox, it appears to not be able to find the appropriate mount points [17:15] what sound device should I use to stream line input ? [17:15] right, i cant change hz there right? [17:16] Please point me to channel about version control systems. [17:16] chang-li: well to me using a script is the same as doing from a terminal without as much typing [17:16] wd green is pretty cheap [17:16] Like svn or git. [17:16] mycosys, its not [17:16] King-C: where can i see that? [17:16] check - if it is a wd green inside - disable intellipark [17:16] mycosys, can i go ahead and disable it anyways to see if it helps? [17:17] how is only on wd greens [17:17] chang-li: my memory isn't big enuf to remember things as good as you [17:17] King-C: AMD Phenom(tm) 9500 Quad-core [17:17] is a nuisance on linux [17:17] hihi [17:17] hihi [17:17] mycosys? [17:17] boota2: you can try #svn , but im not sure if its active enough [17:17] Morning! Anybody can help me with this: I upgraded from Jaunty to Maverick. In this process I lost proprietary display drivers and thus the ability to have 3D and desktop effects and certain windows games I play on Wine and no screen-savers either. The upgrade was through Internet download. [17:17] MysterX: That should be fine. Your video must be H264. That's very intense to decode [17:18] morning? it's 18h00 over here [17:18] fedora_newb - is only on wb greens - but most cheap externals i have seen have had wd greens in em [17:18] sacarlson, true, i could write a small script using variables. however i still have to find out how to stop nautilus and mounmanager from displaying detected devices. [17:18] 19h18 here [17:18] King-C: Too bad that linux has problem with it.. where MS Vista running smooth.. [17:19] i'm very new here, i'm trying to install aircrack, but after i installed it, i can't find it anywere [17:19] fedora newb another thng to do is look at dmesg if it recovers afterward - [17:19] what is the syntax for mv to move files >1K? [17:19] MysterX: It's because H264 is a proprietary codec. They don't give out the necessary information to integrate those decoders into Linux drivers. [17:19] erUSUL - i got a cannot find module error [17:19] Or the proprietary drivers don't have them [17:19] hello, who have experience with lekhonee-gnome? i have problem with lekhonee-gnome , that can not install . My OS is Ubuntu 10.10 [17:19] Because the makers are lazy [17:19] rtdos: find /lib/modules/ -name "*atl*" [17:20] how do i increase to 75hz with nvidia card, my monitor supports it. stuck at 60hz [17:20] erUSUL, thanks , really good tip. udisks seems to be the problem, and it has configurable options. :) [17:20] rtdos: is an is an l ( lucky ) not a 1 ( one ) atL2 [17:20] So what's youre saying is that the codec must be installed with youre graphic drivers? [17:20] chang-li: no problem. [17:20] mysqldump -u root --all-databases says "mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when trying to connect". I have a .my.cnf with the password in. Anybody tell me what I might be doing wrong? [17:20] chang-li: well that's why I would use /etc/fstab since auto detect may try to automount if not put there. but with a script or cli you could umount and remount to the location you want [17:21] ok brb erUSUL [17:21] i'm very new here, i'm trying to install aircrack, but after i installed it, i can't find it anywere? [17:21] Guinness2702: mysqldump -u root --all-databases -p [17:21] maarten_: how did you install it? [17:21] llutz: -p prompts for password - I want to run unattended, hence setting up a .my.cnf [17:21] maarten_: it is a cli program no menu entry for it probably [17:21] from synaptic [17:21] sacarlson, i know, but target device uuid is unknown and varies. [17:22] chang-li: no uuid stays the same that's what it's for [17:22] Morning! Anybody can help me with this: I upgraded from Jaunty to Maverick. In this process I lost proprietary display drivers and thus the ability to have 3D and desktop effects and certain windows games I play on Wine and no screen-savers either. The upgrade was through Internet download. [17:22] sardonyx, yes, but i must first disable udisks detection. [17:22] ok thanks! [17:22] chang-li: no you can just umount and remount [17:23] sacarlson, thanks i will try. [17:24] ChogyDan....tried it...didnt work [17:24] mc1: reinstall them? [17:24] vega: sorry, reinstall what? [17:25] mc1: the missing drivers? [17:25] not sure how to install 10.04 over 10.10 [17:25] Hello. Is there any advantage to 64-bit if I only have 3GB RAM? [17:25] qwerty1: you can either upgrade or do a clean install [17:25] chang-li: there are always ten ways to do something even if some take longer or are slower they all may work [17:25] TriBlox6432: not really [17:25] TriBlox6432: some positives and some negatives, do you feel you need 64bit ? [17:25] how? it was a whole upgrade from Jaunty. After that, no drivers show. Have an intel graphics card. [17:25] how do i install 10.04 if 10.10 is on my computer already? i also have windows 7 [17:26] No. I made a 64-bit USB but it won't boot. But my 32-bit CD is fine. So yeah. Just checking. [17:26] qwerty1: oh I see you want 10.04 [17:26] yes [17:26] qwerty1: you have to do a clean install of 10.04 then [17:26] erUSUL: if found the following drivers in the kernal directories: atlx atl1e atl2 [17:26] qwerty1: what are you willing to loose? [17:26] i burned 10.04 onto a disc...rebooted and it gave the option of windows or ubuntu [17:27] im willing to lose 10.10 [17:27] qwerty1: you need to boot from the CD [17:27] mc1: don't know then why they disappeared, you did know that jaunty -> maverick upgrade was not supported? [17:27] question when i run sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies which number is the minimal frequency [17:27] i did boot with the cd in but it gave no install option [17:27] qwerty1: well just have it install over that partition then [17:27] what is the command in Terminal to install KDE as a option at login, without making it Kubuntu? [17:27] qwerty1: then you didn't boot from a valid ubuntu 10.04 cd [17:28] qwerty1: you should get logged into an ubuntu desktop with an install icon on it [17:28] when i got to the desktop it showed the disc and it had probably 8 files in it including a install file? [17:28] when i use that command i get 1199999 599999 which is the minimal frequency [17:29] qwerty1: the desktop should have an icon on it that says "install" [17:29] ok..and it shows that after i log into 10.10? [17:29] when i clock on places to open my home folder or any other of the folders a window pops up gnome cd master giving me choices like to burn a cd??? instead of the folder it self? [17:29] qwerty1: no [17:29] sometimes my system freezes, help? [17:29] qwerty1: it shows that when you boot from the CD [17:29] hello everyone, so i finished installing ubuntu on my external HDD and now i want to use that drive on another computer, but for some reason the computer just logs on to windows... now i´ve reinitiated the computer and i have the livecd booted into and i can see that the external HDD dose contain the grub folder... why is it not booting grub then? or how can i install grub on my computer? thanks in advance [17:30] AdyLane: sudo apt-get install kde-desktop ?

[17:31] delemi: is the file on a local disk, or a USB disk ?

[17:40] thankyou ubottu who i know is not intelligent [17:41] derpyderp: it's owned by root, so only people in the admin group can use sudo to edit it [17:41] derpyderp: that's pretty secure [17:41] digirak try this sudo aptitude install build-essential [17:41] ikonia: i am my own admin.. :( [17:41] socom: Is it in /usr/share?

I change the resolution and the time, shut down (properly) and turn it back on and it never stays the way I set it. [18:10] iver: i've never had any problems with raid5 rebuilding. you can test it a few times by manually failing the disks to see if you have a problem [18:11] sht: data will bit spot on if you don't mess with the disks [18:11] sht: if you dont touch the disks, the data will be there. the software raid will put metadata on the disk that will let mdadm know which disks belong to which array [18:11] i thought so. i just wanted to make sure [18:11] minimec, initialization failed [18:11] thanks :) [18:11] sht: so, if you did a complete re-install, you may need to tell the software to rebuild the array, but everything shoudl be fine [18:11] sht: good to backup the mdadm.conf though for reference [18:11] erUSUL, ok so devkit is the culprit in karmic for handling basically all info about devices. bad news there is no config file, but changes must be set by cli. I could write a startup script and put it into init.d/rc which would solve my problem. [18:11] jack_: alright, i think i'll just take your word for it ;) critical data needs a separate backup in either case. thanks [18:12] iver: also, always do a backup before doing anything with your disks. :P [18:12] chang-li: i see; and the problem is? [18:12] dnkbd: which is bad... So the problem lies there. [18:12] minimec, so reinstall the driver? [18:12] erUSUL, noproblemo...:) [18:12] dnkbd: Is this a 'self compiled' driver? [18:12] from realtek yes [18:13] nobody can help my with that wireless problem? [18:13] any preference recomentdation for video editing? PITIVI or openshot ? [18:13] jack_: everything is temporarily backed up at another server [18:13] hi [18:13] chang-li: ahh ok ;) [18:13] minimec, from realtek yes had no problems when it compiled [18:13] in evolution mail when I have filers with a rule "Subject: abc; then; Delete" does this mean that filters are applied automatically when mail arrives or do I need to apply filters manually? [18:13] I am installing ubuntu 10.10 right now and am at the partition disks [18:13] dnkbd: well I would take all info we collected and send them to the realtec support. I guess I cannot help you further. [18:13] iver: i would suggest you get everything hte way you want it, manually fail one of yoru disks, and watch it rebuild via /proc/mdstat [18:13] need to decide which option ... any suggestions? [18:13] minimec, thank you it is greatly appriciated [18:13] I said yes to RAID [18:13] and other -df - diskfree) function in nautilus? [18:13] jrasmussen: ubuntu soudl take the whole drive! muahhaha [18:13] erUSUL, devkit probably had issues, thats why they changed to udisks. [18:14] with LVM? [18:14] dnkbd: Maybe you could try another kernel version. That might help... [18:14] jrasmussen: LVM is awesome. I use it on my desktop [18:14] how can i upgrade a machine from 8.04 to 10.10 without losing anyting? i lost my network drivers and the ability to enter the desktop (i'm stuck in command line only mode) [18:14] chang-li: it was more a change of names afaik... what they abandoned is hald [18:14] does anyone know how to rearrange a boot selector so windows is no longer default? [18:14] jrasmussen: i always do LVM installs and would suggest it if you can set it up [18:14] jack_: will do. by manually failing a drive you mean to just disconnect it, right? [18:14] ok, thx -- I thought that looked like the best option [18:14] dnkbd: Does realtek inidcate with what kernel they tested the driver? [18:14] iver: no. ther eis a comman [18:14] jrasmussen, and lvm are special cases [18:14] special cases? [18:14] rtdos: I assume you did the upgrade already ? [18:15] iver: i THINK its like... mdadm -F /dev/sda [18:15] jack_: alright, will look through the man-pages then [18:15] dnkbd: Kernel version would also be an important point to add to the support mail... [18:15] jack_: thanks for your time. talk back to you after the testing if youre still online [18:15] cntb: but LVM is the one to select, right? I will just go on and hope to figure this out! [18:15] jrasmussen: Red Hat has some good public documentation on LVM administration. I would highly suggest reading through it [18:15] minimec, they do not [18:15] jack_: I will do that... [18:15] minimec, my kernel is -25 [18:16] jrasmussen: LVM requires that you think about how your storage works differently. If you're new to storage, you might want to go with the default 'create partitions on disk' option they have [18:16] first I will get through the installation!!! [18:16] dnkbd: so it's the normal 10.10 2.6.35-25 kernel without any changes? [18:16] minimec, yes [18:17] hello, does anyone know how to share files through the network easly with ubuntu?

[18:38] DasEI same problem after doing what un suggest and a rebbot [18:38] hey all. i just can't find what i'm looking for. maybe someone can help? i want to convert avi files to mp4 as they stream with minidlna. does anyone know anything about this? [18:38] xanatax: there is a virtual package 'ubuntu-desktop' to get the desktop stuff onto a server install [18:38] yeah, I'm fine with that... but the "package" installs, like ubuntustudio-audio... [18:38] that it! [18:38] Starminn: it´s just not where it´s supposed to be and i can´t locate it anywhere in the manues, any idea what happend to the Options? [18:38] DasEi - what do you mean - I get regular Ububtu sounds through the external speakers and I get the beep on boot/POST hrough the internal one [18:38] i'm looking for those [18:38] folk, Im drunk, what do think about that? [18:38] xanatax: Looking for something like this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ ? [18:38] :D [18:39] trism , i did not get it clearly [18:39] judget: already followed the hint about wrong password ? (sudo should have shown if correct pass was used) [18:39] can u plz help me a bit more [18:39] quite possibly! ;) [18:39] btw, trying to fix my desktop, I also wondered if something had removed ubuntu-desktop but it seemed to be installed just fine . [18:39] xanatax: tasksel --list-tasks [18:39] MagicJ: so this isn't the issue [18:39] simisu: To my knowledge there never was an "Options" menu. I believe you are looking for "Edit->Preferences" [18:39] ya password is right I used it for the command prompt when i did the reconfigure u suggested [18:40] DasEi - so any chance of that other solution [18:40] atman: basically, you just need to copy the files you want to sync to the ~/Dropbox directory somehow, there are many ways to do that, I use the rsync command from a cronjob so it runs once a day to backup my directories [18:40] judget: then again with : sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:40] oh [18:40] (alt-ctrl+F1), judget [18:40] do you have the cmd for setting up cron handy ? [18:41] !cron [18:41] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [18:41] ChogyDan: FTW ;) [18:41] thanks so much, everyone! [18:41] Hey, whos wanna drunk bear with me? Liverpool [18:41] ok ubottu,thanks so much [18:42] * juk remember that beep on jaunty would freek out users [18:42] Thanks to trism [18:42] anyone else here using KeepassX and noticing that your password no longer works? was it like a bad update or what? [18:42] Starminn: thanks i found it... i know that on my windows it has Options so !shrug! thanks thoguh [18:42] i set up a print server with ubuntu 10.4. all machines are connected via dhcp to a router. does that mean that the printer is only visable from the router onwards ? [18:42] atman: you're welcome [18:42] Hi all. I need help to access my old home directory. I just reinstalled 10.10 with a new username (I formated root and saved home). The old home dir is encrypted, how do I decrypt the directory so that I can move over some files from the old home dir to my new home? === Hible is now known as nijabo [18:42] Hi, I'm having some issues with a new install of ubuntu and had no luck on the forums, am i in the right place to ask for some help, please? [18:43] simisu: You probably weren't using the same version. Windows doesn't have it either for the same version. [18:43] !encrypt | Polygonspark [18:43] Polygonspark: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [18:43] Luis_, don't ask to ask [18:43] Luis_: Yep. Go ahead and ask [18:43] so maybe i need to update the version? [18:43] jrib: thanks [18:43] Starminn: any idea if the "tasks" listed by tasksel are on the 'packages.ubuntu.com' page? === Guest12838 is now known as DP-Prophet [18:44] simisu: The one on Ubuntu (as far as I know) is Firefox 3.6 or newer. What you were running on WIndows was likely older than 3.6. I looked up screenshots to make sure and they were as I remembered. [18:44] simisu: Then again, I run Firefox 4 Beta on both Windows and Ubuntu, so... :) [18:45] DasEi same ting after doin the dpkg-reconfiger xserver [18:45] xanatax: I don't know. Never heard of tasksel so I just installed it and was about to play around with it. [18:45] sorry wasn't sure if it was the right channel, its a long one to explian but basicly, i can't log in, GNOME asks for user details i enter them graphical glitchy/pixelated screen comes up and it resets back to the user log in scree, its just stuck in this loop [18:45] DadEi....i've not yet upgraded from 8.04 to 10.10 but i thought an upgrade might help. if it won't help how do i reinstall or repair my eth0 and desktop? === PetePorty is now known as WetePorty [18:45] Starminn thank you! [18:46] its a new install of ubuntu (10.04) but the same happens in 10.10 [18:46] i just set up a print server with 10.4. all machines in the house see the printer. Is the printer SEEN by anything else? [18:47] Luis_, which graphics card? [18:47] jrib. thats alot of work just to access another directory... can't I rather do something like right click -> mount -> enter pass? === robin is now known as Guest93877 [18:48] Polygonspark: no [18:48] blkdg, not sure its a built in card in my old Pentium III which i use as a server at home [18:48] Polygonspark: if you want a no brainer way, just create the user with the same pass and login as the user, that should work [18:48] i had just had mythbuntu installed on this 10.10 and that seemd to work i think i may go back to 10.04 [18:49] jrib, ok, I try that instead. Thanks [18:49] DasEi: and others I see comment on the web that I must disable blacklistpcspkr in the modprobe, I see the file: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, once I edit it how do I apply the edit === JackomoLight is now known as Kira === Kira is now known as JackomoLight [18:50] Luis_, this machine ran linux before? [18:50] simisu: I supppose. Not very familiar with this program so I'm not sure. :) I'd say so or something close to it. Just use whichever you prefer. [18:52] MagicJ: sudo modprobe -v pcspkr [18:52] blkdg, if it has then not recently, i beleive i may have had ubuntu installed back in the 7.xx/8.xx days but it has just been used as a file/print server at home running windows since, i'd just like to finnaly get rid of the last windows installation i owned by installing ubuntu on it [18:52] MagicJ: then try again [18:52] just beep === Andorin is now known as Guest87853 [18:54] Ubuntu 10.10, Installing WINE from Software Center, it fails saying it needs untrusted packages, no way that I can see around it.. help? [18:55] MagicJ: if that all doesn't work, there is softbeep, too , though I don't know which device is pointing to the pcspeaker [18:55] Ubuntu 10.10, Installing WINE from Software Center, it fails saying it needs untrusted packages, no way that I can see around it.. help? [18:55] do i need to register my nick, or can people see me? === crallionx is now known as exophase_ === exophase_ is now known as hyperiox [18:56] Guest-1098, I can see you. Registering is not mandatory but may be beneficial. [18:56] judget: still around, sorry some background digging here.. again to command line: sudo dhclient (make sure to have internet) sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [18:56] blkdg, I've also tried starting up in "safe mode" and running the package repair tool which went thought a long downloading and installing process but made no difference, it still doesnt work [18:57] Oh okay, thanks. I'll wait till someone is free to help me with how to get around "untrusted content" when trying to install WINE then :) [18:57] . [18:58] MagicJ: does it beep at you now ? [18:58] DasEi Ok ill give that a try next otherwise i was gonna do a 10.4 install if all else fails [18:58] Guest-1098, I feel like you have added a third-party repository that contains Wine or some of its dependencies. I using only the basic repos and trying again. I installed Wine years ago, so it only upgrades with the system and haven't experienced what you mention. [18:58] DasEi: that modprobe command worked - thank you so much [18:58] how can i add /media/mary to my apache server? [18:58] Luis_, one sec [18:59] vocx: I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 from disk (full erase and install) last night, let it do all it's updates, installed Chromium... and so far nothing else [18:59] brandon420: #apache or #web [18:59] blkdg, no problem!, thanks for helping =) [18:59] MagicJ: if you want it after next reboot, insert modul in /etc/modules [18:59] is it possible to boot a real installation of ubuntu in windows using vmware? For example, i have windows and ubuntu installed... and i dont want to power down windows, but i want to do something from my linux partition, is it possible that i fire up vmware, and tell it to laod my ubuntu partition in a virtual environment? [18:59] Luis_, decribe the boot process again please. [18:59] wauf: i think you present the drive to vmware as a virtualdisk it will boot [18:59] wauf: it is [18:59] wauf: but there maybe some issue with drives and stuff [19:00] Does anyone know a surefire way of checking CPU temp inubuntu that THEY THEMSELVES have used? [19:00] Thanks! thats all i needed to know. ^_^ much appreciated. I'll handle the problems as they come from there. [19:00] wauf : sure ? [19:00] for some testing purposes i want to know where to put my mediawiki files on Ubuntu 10. Someone who knows? [19:01] Gwar_Trolle: i use an avant-windows-navigator addon for cpu temp [19:01] did that but had done that earlier strll the same [19:01] sypie: /j #mediawiki [19:01] wauf: you can't use vm for mounting your dualboot, but can have a pc in a pc. else if you just want to acces the partitions, there are other ways (in view of dualboot) [19:01] Another question, i have my documents on a seperate ntfs partition from my windows install. is it possible for linux to manage my ntfs partition, read, write, etc... ? [19:01] vocx: exact error message is: "Requires installation of untrusted packages" below that "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." [19:02] juk: i know how to install mediawiki on a remote server. Now i have ubuntu running local and i need to know in which folder i need to put my webfiles [19:02] minimec, the problem is solved i am chatting via wifi [19:02] blkdg, well the computer starts up as normal (currently running 10.04) however when it gets to the login screen (i dont have it set to log in automaticly) i enter my user name and password it then accepts the details fine, goes to log in the screen turns all fuzzy/pixelated and after a few seconds struggleing it just resets back to the login screen... and if i try again the process just repeats [19:02] !ntfs | wauf: [19:02] wauf:: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [19:02] i'm just not used to linux filesystem [19:02] dnkbd: Nice! How did you do it? [19:02] im really thinking if i want to install ubuntu on its own or keep running it through vmware... [19:02] Guest-1098, have you tried installing from the terminal, "sudo aptitude install wine" [19:03] hey guys , i have a question how do i make a command or a program run with hight priority? [19:03] anfegame: man nice, renice [19:03] DasEi still the same should I try going to a new install of 10.4? or do we have any other ideas? [19:03] let me try now [19:03] minimec, blacklisted the staging driver and used a driver from an ubuntu forum post [19:03] sypie: and documentation only for Win7Dos people ofcourse [19:03] anfegame, you need to explain more. What is this high priority you are talking about? [19:03] juk: working on a Mac [19:03] blkdg, this is happening right after a fresh install, whether its with 10.10 or 10.04 [19:03] wauf: learn it better in vm, if just new to it, and then consider, if liked -- a dualboot [19:03] juk: and for sure there should be enough docs [19:04] let say i am going to run the command firefox on hight priority [19:04] minimec, only problem is i have to run modprobe when i boot to get it started [19:04] how would i do it [19:04] ? [19:04] anfegame: rad man nice, renice [19:04] minimec, can i just add that command into init.d? [19:04] thank you! [19:05] dnkbd: if you add the driver to /etc/modules file? [19:05] anfegame, but what does high priority mean for you? You want it to take all available resources or what? [19:05] dnkbd: add the module name to /etc/modules for it to automatically be probed on boot [19:05] judget: no, and as in terms of time, looks like like a corrupt burn or iso then, try lucid , and before verify download, burn at slow spead and use cd-own verification , too.. or better even use a usb stick, spare cdrom's [19:05] sypie: why would i care [19:05] !md5 [19:05] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [19:05] alright! i am tryig to run this loop of a mic to sound live through my speakers [19:06] so i do it with this command sense i dint find no other way [19:06] and it loops it [19:06] does anyone her euse mac4lin? [19:06] but it like plays whatver u say like 3 seconds after [19:06] ok im doing 10.4 now ill let u know [19:06] so i am trying to make it run with highter priority so it sounds right away, as i speak [19:06] wauf:a vm is a full usable os, but never has the performance of a "native install [19:06] !dualboot [19:06] Luis_, is this a basic install? [19:06] just the module name nothing else? [19:06] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [19:07] do u understand what i am trying to do? [19:07] blkdg, as far as i am aware, yes i don't know what you'd call a basic install but its simply been downloaded from the ubuntu site burnt onto a CD and installed as per the standard installer [19:07] brb reboot [19:08] Luis_, what i mean is it's not a server version of the os. it's the same one you'd use on grandmas pc right? [19:09] basically i need to know how to make this command run in real time [19:09] blkdg, Yes, i tried the server install foolishly thinking it had a GUI but when i was faced with terminal i just couldn't coupe, i dont know enough and find it rather frustrating [19:10] hello, can i get rid of the left dock in unity? [19:10] !enter | anfegame [19:10] anfegame: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:10] anfegame: you can't without using a rt-kernel [19:10] I have two ubuntu loaders. The first loader has sound but no internet and the second loader has internet but no sound. Why do i have 2 to start with, and why are they different? [19:10] anfegame, what you want is real time, not high priority [19:11] Luis_, grab 10.4 or 10.10 standerd 32 bit installer and try again. [19:12] what dose ¨cd to the directory you downloaded the tar.gz file into¨ mean? i´m trying to download a program from sourceforge and install it and it seems very compilcated to me for just running a program... can anyone help? [19:12] how do i run something with real time? [19:12] Luis_, the server flavour is ment for headless boxes [19:12] usually [19:12] !cd [19:12] When I plug in my PSP, it shows up in "Computer" but doesn't show up on the desktop and I can't open it or anything [19:12] simisu, what program? Usually you don't have to install programs by yourself if they are already packaged in the Ubuntu repository. [19:13] blkdg, its an option but i'd have thought that after installing and reinstalling ubuntu 3 times the answer that reinstalling isn't going to cut it is pretty clear =) [19:13] vocx nope it´s a mudclient (geeky i know) === DasEi1 is now known as DasEi [19:13] or should i find another one that is less complicated to run? [19:14] simisu, and you don't even know how to extract the files??? [19:14] ummm nope... i´m a complete noob [19:14] simisu, you no geeky enough [19:14] simisu: You remember .zip files on Windows? [19:14] haha [19:14] yes [19:14] i started using solaris around 1995. It feels like "unix/linux" at its core havent moved that much since then.. sure better support for this and that.. but its the same bash, same unix gnu utilities etc.. arent there any pioneering work done to utils / scripting etc? [19:15] simisu: .tar.gz is similar to those. It's a type of compressed file. [19:15] anfegame: if not mind possibly breaking your system: http://jackschnippes.freeunix.net/index.php/2010/11/04/lowlatency-kernel-and-realtime-kernel-for-ubuntu-10-10-maverick [19:15] Squarism: I think they call it "Mac OS X." [19:15] Squarism: changelogs perhaps? [19:15] simisu: The command "cd" means "Change directory" and exists in Windows as well. So "Change directory to where you installed the .tar.gz" means in the Terminal type in "cd /path/to/the/tar.gz/folder [19:16] really! man i dont want to do something so risky [19:16] Squarism: you might wanna sync, catch up back from 95 [19:16] anfegame: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime [19:16] is there anything that i can do to run a mic just real time [19:16] Squarism, well, I think Bash 4 was just released some time ago. And it has more options, but then again, nobody uses bash's true capabilities, since there is now Perl, Python, and helluva lot of programming languages. [19:16] ummm... ok i just found the files--- and saw there´s an Install file and ran it... [19:16] thanks for the explenation Starminn! [19:16] simisu: All without quotes of course. So you're just moving yourself to the folder where you downloaded it to (which would probably be your Downloads folder in your Home directory. (i.e. ~/Downloads) [19:16] simisu: There you go. :) [19:17] Hi where is generated this message: "Last login: Sun Feb 20 20:12:05 ..." i can see i when ssh to PC, i cant find it in /etc/update-motd.d/ ... ?? Where is it from ?? [19:17] my cd rom is not auto mounting [19:17] can anyone help me get my rear analog channels working with Intel ALC887 sound? they don't show up in alsamixer and speaker-test gives me no output on those channels (the front channels work fine though) [19:17] basy: You could grep for it to try to find it where it's at. [19:18] basy: /var/log/auth [19:18] i was just following (or trying to anyway, the website that the file came from and of course couldn´t understand the lingo... i´ll get used to it with time right? [19:18] anyone else here using KeepassX and noticing that your password no longer works? have versions 0.4.3 on my desktop and 0.4.1 on laptop [19:18] is there some vocabulary website for linux? [19:18] is there any software that will allow me to run my mic live? [19:18] hello guys I have .dmg file, how can i open it on Lucid?? [19:18] I am on gnome now [19:18] erUSUL, devkit is giving me headache. I tell it not to poll devices & monitor. I plug in the usb drive and devkit gives it a device name-ie sdf1 and i can still see it in nautilus, but it's not mounted. must be a way to inhibit detection. any thoughts? [19:19] induz: what is .dmg file? [19:19] simisu: use a searchengine by basic linux commands [19:19] is there any application to mount .dmg files [19:19] induz: you can loop mount it. is a hfs disk image file afaik [19:19] induz, that's a Mac file, can't be opened on Ubuntu [19:19] blkdg, is the recommendation still reinstalling or are you having a think? - just wondering! =) [19:19] i have wine on Lucid, then , is it possible [19:19] chang-li: well the device name is given by udev. and you really want a device name for the thing.... === ng_ is now known as NG_ [19:20] DasEi, hello! when i create the share that was described on the homepage you provided me, will people all over the internet be able to access my share then, or is only in my local network? [19:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html#samba-fileserver-installation [19:20] basy: check out « man login » probably [19:20] basy: it's not part of the motd, it comes from PAM [19:20] chang-li: about it not being aviable in nautilus maybe there is something you can tweak in « gconf-editor » apps>nautilus [19:20] how to install one specific package from 10.10 repo on a 10.04 system? [19:20] simisu: This helped me considerably: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/cli.html [19:20] erUSUL, yes, granted that. but not to show up in nautilus. because if inadvertantly i hit the name in nautilus, it mounts it. [19:21] warpi: you can protect it, and also by default, no, look in /etc/smb.conf, good explanations there, or even have an extra group samba [19:21] multiplatinum, yes its Mac file[.dmg], is there any application to tranform it to open on Lucid/ [19:21] DasEi, oki, thx [19:21] erUSUL, i will look again in gconf-editor. [19:21] simisu: And hear's a quick-and-dirty vocab: http://brajeshwar.com/2008/linux-vocabulary/ [19:22] an app to run a live mic? [19:22] tsimpson, DasEi: looking for script that generates that message [/var/log/auth should be data for that script], i just want it more in colors :P [19:22] induz, afaik no [19:22] warpi: fo that someone has to break in your pc first, neither inet should see your Desktop, nor sambashares [19:22] oki, thx [19:22] How do I order more Ubuntu LiveCDs? [19:22] simisu: That pretty much sums it all up. The rest of things yeah you'll just learn with time. Like that .tar, .gz, and .tar.gz are the equivalent of .zip, .rar, etc. in Windows. [19:23] basy: ah, no I get it, the conf-files are in /etc/ssh [19:23] basy: it's not a script, it's a plugin (library) for PAM [19:23] now* [19:23] multiplatinum, what kind of file is .dmg and how can i open it on mack as right now its on Lucid system [19:23] srk9: you just d/l them [19:23] KojiroAK: Ich empfehle Dir, den Podcast http://podcast-mp3.dradio.de/podcast/2011/02/19/dlf_20110219_1630_46d4dd16.mp3 anzuhören- [19:23] Can anyone help?, i've just freshly installed ubuntu on my old Pentium III home file/print server and when i enter my login details the screen goes fuzzy/pixelated and it just resets back to the log in screen [19:23] hi. so uh, i just got myself an hp dv6 second gen laptop and it has this switchable dual graphics card thing. now, ubuntu tells me that it does find drivers on that when booting up, but when installed it tells me that there are no screens, log complaining about the switchable graphics not working. [19:24] problem is, i can't select which card to use in the bios. [19:24] what do i do? [19:24] DasEi: I want professionally designed CDs to give away to people who are disenfranchised with Windows. [19:24] Luis_: if it's resetting a common problem is no write permissions / out of disk space on /home [19:24] induz, when ur on ur mac u can just double click it so it installs, check my PM too btw [19:24] multiplatinum, is it possible to copy .dmg file on a usb to take it to a mac comp [19:24] yeah induz [19:24] induz: dmg files are for apple, they are pointless on linux [19:24] ikonia, it doesnt actually restart it just goes back to the login screen [19:25] Luis_: the login screen is "X restarting" [19:25] srk9: So get yourself a LightScribe disc drive, burn a few copies of Ubuntu LiveCDs, and have at 'em. Keep in mind you cannot charge for Ubuntu, only the CDs [19:25] Luis_: a good test is to boot without X and test the login [19:25] !info dmg2img [19:25] dmg2img (source: dmg2img): Tool for converting compress dmg files to hfsplus images. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.6.2-2 (maverick), package size 21 kB, installed size 116 kB [19:25] srk9: Though let me point out that this should go in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:25] ikonia, forgive my ignorance but how would i go about sorting it out [19:25] srk9: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/cds [19:25] ikonia, forgive my ignorance again but what is X [19:25] Starminn: While I was planning to give them away for free, I disagree about your statement about not charging. Nothing keeps you from charging for GPL software. RedHat does it all the time. [19:26] juk is it for me [19:26] DasEi: "Demand for Ubuntu CDs is very high, and we're trying to ensure that we have enough CDs for those who really need one. We've noticed that you've already received CDs of several previous Ubuntu releases." [19:26] Starminn: hehe [19:26] induz: dmg files are usless and pointless on linux [19:26] Luis_: http://serverfault.com/questions/137776/disable-gdm-in-ubuntu-10-04 [19:26] Starminn: Are you sure that this belongs in off-topic? This seems like a support question to me. [19:27] Luis_: that explains disabling (reverse it to re-enable) gdm which stops the gui [19:27] srk9: Anyway, my statement remains the same. Grab yourself a LightScribe drive and have at 'em. The discs I give ot others are plain discs. The disc I have for myself I LightScribed and love it. :) [19:27] induz: i just take a look :) [19:27] srk9: see it as joke, see link [19:27] srk9: you order them from the shipit site [19:27] srk9: that is the only way [19:27] sathis: I am having issue with a known bug: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1 [19:27] Luis_, grab 10.4 or 10.10 standerd 32 bit installer and try again.

Is it possible to request them through that? [19:28] Is there a command to attach to a process started with the & flag? [19:28] srk9: For getting them shipped to you, yes, it is support. For redistributing them to "people who are disenfranchised with Windows," and having the "professionally-designed", that's nto Ubuntu support.

I just got onto a server that someone else setup, the /var/log/messages folder is full of FATAL: Cannot find modules.deb. lsmod shows blank. The reason for this as I am seeing is that the output of uname -r is not the same as the folder in /lib/modules. Is there a way to update depmod/modprobe to use this new folder?

My parents are not happy with the default one. [20:21] FSX: you might need to look to another app thats printing the picture and hope its changes to the dialogue suffice [20:21] FSX: the print preview stuff is weird in firefox tho, can't do much about that [20:21] FSX: i don't know.. but ... maybe.. are these different in GNOME vs. KDE? [20:22] ohsi, hazzarux: Is it possible to replace the default one? [20:22] they're different, but not much; if they're not happy with the existing one it's probably a bug, or they're nuts [20:23] where do I should look to make XCHAT open 2 irc hanels at startup? [20:23] #xchat -or- read the docs [20:23] FSX: yes you can replace gnome by kde. (never done that, but already have had the idea). sudo apt-get install kde & then choose KDE @login screen.

[20:35] Guinness2702, i think you have to change an option in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf [20:35] But I can't seem to find the USB drive on it, which makes me think that this grub isn't configured for it and the bios isn't loading the usb. [20:36] cardamon: sorry man im kinda running out of steam here. Without actually physically being there Ive found it hard to think through the issue I had and how i solved them. Basically, I don't really know how to do this without the usb working from boot.

[20:37] simisu: yes, read and write speeds would be much faster, but once an apllication that doesn't require much r/w, its all in the ram and thats the same [20:37] cardamon: cuz you have no burner, but you do have net, so net install is an option. (I think). Have you tried isntalling from teh HD after bootup? [20:37] *installing, the [20:37] Guinness2702, you have to do it under each vhost [20:37] FSX: depends on the printer, but there are some , look at apt-cache search print | grep python [20:37] cardamon: ok let me rephrase that.

[20:39] FSX: picking up your initial questions, as of printing guis I have good experiences with hp and cannon, else see above, need apps which provide them [20:39] FSX: the print dialogue isn't the place to arrange photos and stuff, it needs to be done by the app before that [20:39] Is it normal that any 2d desktop operation (scrolling windows) is a lot slower on 3200x1080 than it is on 1280x800, even when said window is the same size? [20:39] Guinness2702, yup, that is true, and actually i think you have to use your host, but you can redirect it to any vhost [20:39] simisu: then the ram's the limit, and i'm assuming integrated gpu [20:39] Ganymede: you might also try #httpd [20:39] simisu: still i'd opt in to a lighter window manager or desktop environment like xfce/lxde [20:40] Guinness2702, see what jrib said to me above [20:40] Ganymede: oops, sorry about that [20:40] ohsix: My mom just needs to be able to select a few photos in THunar and then print them (on one page or something else). I can make a GUI for that. [20:40] Ganymede, jrib I tried #apache - nobody there [20:40] FSX: i suppose, but that's something different entirely :] [20:41] so how come windows is running just ¨fine¨? [20:41] Guinness2702: #httpd, not #apache (though the topic in #apache tells you about #httpd too0 [20:41] Guinness2702, try #httpd to find apache users [20:41] k, guess I should have guess that - thanks all :) [20:41] ohsix: Yea ^^ [20:42] Guinness2702, Apache is software foundation, of which one of their software is the webserver. [20:43] simisu: different constraints, depending on software something can seem fast or slow, gnome is pretty fat to be honest, i mean just by viewing (no actual scientific recordings) a pentium 3 could seem faster than a i5 just by changing the software - gnome with compiz is more like vista with full effects, gnome with metacity without the effects and the performance difference for 99% of machines is insane [20:44] Hello :D [20:44] aeon-ltd to be quite honest i can´t follow you... [20:44] greenmanzana: hi [20:45] I'm on Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and so my desktop isn't normal gnome but rather this Unity-style thing. Thursday night I ran an update, and Friday morning upon turning on the computer I find I only have the desktop background, which blinks grey occasionally. I have the upper black bar with the time, and keyboard commands help me open programs, but I don't have a desktop. Can anyone help? [20:45] geez... i thought this wouldn´t be as hard [20:45] simisu: i was wondering what version of windows can you run with 256 mb ddr ram? [20:46] another whole day spent just to realize it´s a big FAIL :o( [20:47] it´s windows xp [20:47] how Can i open eclipse frmo user X if it was only installed on user Y? [20:47] mOHawk, XP will run but slowlu, Xubuntu will be much faster [20:47] simisu: ok, lesson/philosophy, the software is almost always the problem - better written (those who aim for the least amount of lines of code for a function) software can perform better on the same system than with poorly written code. in this case its usage of software thats the problem - right now you use gnome(stock ubuntu desktop) which is heavy if you use xubuntu (different software, same core) it will seem faster [20:47] and i had loads of important stuff to do... mah... [20:47] slashroot: installed using apt or manaually? [20:47] simisu: as well as be faster/lighter on your hardware [20:47] manually (helios) [20:48] i have 2 NICs in my mythbuntu box, and i want to join 2 seperated networks without any routing. i thought this would be default by connecting, but my neighbor said he has access on the machines in the other network..how is this possible? [20:48] aeon-ltd so what you´re telling me is to try a different distro? name Xubunto for example? [20:49] slashroot: can you access her/his home directory? just browse to it and click the binary [20:49] BluesKaj: the last computer i had with 256mb ram was tandy 1000 and ran dos 3.1 or something like that lol [20:49] who is here [20:49] aeon-ltd: seem faster? that sounds like a guess [20:49] simisu: Allow me to just say that my system came with XP Media Center (highest) and 512MB DDR2 RAM. Running UBuntu was at LEAST 4 times faster than XP. Now that I have 5GB of RAM XP is actually usable. -- IT's probably not Ubuntu, it's just the RAM. What they're saying though is that Ubuntu has some variations on it for lighter machines. Xubuntu looks like Ubuntu but is a lot lighter/easier on the machine. [20:49] simisu: yes, but you don't have to reinstall, you can just remove the gnome stuff and install xubuntu packages. btw google around for other window managers/ desktop environments you might like that are light; personally i'd choose lxde [20:49] so I'm playing around with ack-grep [20:50] mo3r: what's your question? [20:50] really nice, it's got an option for --pager [20:50] --pager=more --pager=less [20:50] ohsix: logically it would be faster but bugs might occur that hinder performance [20:50] simisu: http://www.xubuntu.org/ [20:50] ilovefairuz, he seems to be spamming everyone, I'd ignore him [20:50] unfortunately its not there. [20:50] if i use --pager=less there's no colors [20:50] @search tech manual [20:50] aeon-ltd: logic has nothing to do with guessing [20:50] if I use --pager=more [20:50] there's colors [20:50] but more seems to suck more than less [20:50] @seek tech manual [20:50] lol, pun intended [20:50] abstrakt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:50] hello all americans0 [20:50] ohsix: its not guessing its inferring [20:51] Speaking of pagers, I use less. I'd like the ability to search with wraparound (/ and ? apparently don't wrap around) AND so that when I jump to the next match, it places it at the center of the screen and not at the top so I can see before and after. Any ideas? [20:51] are there any yet better options for pagers than less or more [20:51] aeon-ltd: unless you're arugment is ad absurdum and a computer doing nothing is objectively better, because it's appears to do nothing, very fast [20:51] aeon-ltd: inferences are based on sets of evidence, a guess isn't evidence [20:52] abstrakt, i cant say that it is better but you can try if "most" is good for your use cases [20:52] Ganymede, but are there other options available for pagers other than more or less [20:52] barbaz, ok i just want to know what other options there are [20:52] i don't care about good or best, i'll evaluate that for myself :) [20:52] abstrakt, Yeah, I'm open to others...I heard about "most" but i don't recall it's featureset off hand... [20:53] ahh, excellent, most is what I needed :) [20:53] abstrakt, The most pager web site leaves much to be desired. [20:53] it's weird... more *says* it will scroll backwards, but it won't [20:54] the keys are b and CTRL-B [20:54] does anyone have experience reformatting hdd's? [20:54] I am trying to reformat my harddrive. At the command prompt i typed "fdisk /dev/hdb" and I got Unable to open /dev/sda' [20:54] abstrakt: you can pipe many things to text or html for convienient browsing [20:54] supposedly, but they don't work, I can only scroll down [20:54] ohsix: ok back up here. point no.1 current system software = too heavy, lighter software = lighter duh. meaning that lessening the load on the components meaning it can actually process properly without slowdowns hence its more usable and usage is much faster for the user [20:54] Starminn but it could also be the fact that it´s running throguh usb no? [20:54] DasEi, yes I understand but this is a tad faster and easier [20:54] simisu: Oh, you mean you have'nt installed it yet? [20:54] DasEi, I do that sometimes [20:54] aeon-ltd: "too heavy" sounds like an opinion, or in patently silly circumstance anyways [20:54] aeon-ltd: it's not too heavy here [20:54] anyway guys... thanks a lot for the input... but i´ve been starving my self trying to finish up with this and no i have to go to eat... [20:54] abstrakt: say lspci, so faster.. easier, sure : [20:55] oh hell yeah, most has split windows [20:55] this is leet [20:55] yes it´s installed [20:55] on an external drive [20:55] aeon-ltd: but at the same time its too heavy for a 486 with 4mb of ram [20:55] aeon-ltd: but there is a large gulf between here and there [20:55] abstrakt: sudo lspci | lspci.txt && gedit lspci.txt [20:55] ohsix: its relative. but for simisu's system it is too heavy [20:55] simisu: That will definitely slow it down. Remember that until you install it the only thing you're using is the speed of the external device. So on a CD it's going to run only as fast as your CD drive can read (which usually isn't very fast) and on USB it's as fast as your computer can read the flash drive. [20:55] DasEi, sudo lspci | most [20:55] what is the best way to reformat my hard drive? [20:55] is a lot faster to type [20:56] justinsane: GParted for life! [20:56] anyway I'm not dealwing with lspci [20:56] like I said before I'm dealing with ack-grep [20:56] simisu: It's not installed on your computer is what I'm saying so it will run about half as fast as it would if installed. [20:56] aeon-ltd: simisu has other problems [20:56] hazzarux: thanks [20:56] Hello, I am having problems installing the wl driver from jockey and kpackagekit. I get the installArchives() failed error in jockey [20:56] DasEi, lspci doesn't have colored output, either [20:56] Starminn: it won't actually for basic applications, majority of the system loads into ram [20:56] "most" in this case is the best option and specifically suited for what I want [20:56] ohsix: yes, sorry for steering it slightly offtopic [20:56] DasEi, I know how to redirect to a text file, that's not what I want [20:56] context [20:56] it's important [20:57] aeon-ltd: Maybe my computer is the exception to the rule but on a LiveCD 80% of programs load at half the speed. [20:57] aeon-ltd: i hope you realize the practical difference between xubuntu/lubuntu and the full thing is very small in actual use, chances are xubuntu/lubuntu will even be unacceptable if the whole thing is already [20:57] simisu has lots of problems... time being one of them... i really do appriciate all your time people, thank you and good bye! [20:57] I'm on Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and so my desktop isn't normal gnome but rather this Unity-style thing. Thursday night I ran an update, and Friday morning upon turning on the computer I find I only have the desktop background picture, and it keeps blinking grey. The upper black bar with the time and open programs appears normal, and keyboard commands help me open programs, but I don't have a... [20:57] DasEi, E from within most opens EDITOR [20:57] ...desktop. Can anyone help? [20:57] aeon-ltd: Maybe not quite half but they run at about 60% of performance as opposed to loading it from my HDD [20:57] DasEi, by the way [20:57] Hello there, I am trying to transfer files to a jailbroken iPhone from a computer running xUbuntu and ive installed libmobiledevice though my iphone does not mount [20:57] any ideas? [20:58] Starminn: heh, not everything is loaded. also scratch space is needed for some applications and if ram is being used and a hdd is unvailable ram needs to be juggled (loaded and offloaded) to keep up [20:58] Starminn: it would be weird if that were true; after they've started it should be the same for both [20:58] Starminn, put your "LiveCD" on a USB flash drive :) [20:58] Starminn, I'll never install from CD again if I can help it, USB is way faster [20:58] This channel moved too quickly [20:58] stephenmac7, it does that [20:58] abstrakt: While my BIOS has a setting to boot from USB it never is able to do it. *shrug* [20:58] jkd [20:59] I cannot get an answer to my questions like that! [20:59] Starminn, ahh, bummer... get a computer that doesn't suck :P [20:59] stephenmac7, so use the forums [20:59] ohsix: Eh, who knows. I probably just don't spend enough time on it for the RAM caching to take place. (if "Cache" is the right term) [20:59] ohsix: gnome with compiz vs xfce, is more than enough to make a difference on the system in question. but yes unless a large difference is made - e.g start from server and use a standalone window manager. savings seem minimal [20:59] abstrakt: :) [20:59] I need the answer instantly and not have to wait 4-5 years for it [21:00] !patience | stephenmac7 [21:00] stephenmac7: 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/ [21:00] aeon-ltd: compiz is faster in practical interaction than a plain noncomposited desktop [21:00] Maybe you can pay for support from Canonical.

[21:01] Can anyone recomend a GUI program to check CPU temps? [21:01] stephenmac7, and I need a unicorn [21:01] ohsix: You're leaving out tiling window managers. Try xmonad or ratpoison :) [21:01] aeon-ltd, do you like my rocky road lumps?

Mine uses Xubuntu.... [21:02] *sigh* Is no one's grandmother a power user/epic programmer and Linux expert? [21:02] aeon-ltd: and whats left still might not be acceptable [21:02] stephenmac7, if your time is really that valuable, then just pay someone to fix your problem... but don't ask in here for who to pay, this is not the place [21:02] BlueBomber7: tiling window managers. [21:03] ohsix: Yeah... so what? [21:03] BlueBomber7: mine uses ubuntu proper, just fine [21:03] BlueBomber7: yea so you missed the entire point, nevermind [21:03] ohsix: K. [21:03] does xubuntu mounts devices automaticaly? [21:03] tonycrete1991f, try it and see [21:04] tonycrete1991f, it can [21:04] tonycrete1991f, how can we help you? [21:04] tell him how to make it automount devices [21:04] I would presume [21:05] simisu: ok, my best suggestion if you have 1 hour, is to start from server or use a lighter distro [21:05] abstrakt, lol [21:06] why can't I see my BH-214 bluetooth headset on Bluetooth devices? My dongle works (I can connect to my N900) and BH-214 also works (I can connect to it from N900), what's wrong?

[21:21] Cenezo, p [21:21] can't mount an 10.04 server NFS export with a 10.10 Desktop.... found bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/656889 [21:21] mjs_, NCH Express Invoice => quite good, zero cost, small, effective, great functionality. === Guest96219 is now known as ogra_ [21:22] Ubuntu bug 656889 in nfs-utils (Ubuntu) "nfs mounts no longer negotiate protocol with older servers" [Undecided,New] [21:22] is there anyone here who know lvm?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [21:22] hey guys, a quick question. Is is better to use WUBI to have ubuntu inside a windows installation, or to use virtualbox for the install? [21:22] mjs_, There's also Quasar Accounting for linux => Canadian company. Used that before. [21:23] >>>for the record....paid for vmware workstation, but had some problems when upgrading, and now using virtualbox and don't really mind not spending the $300 [21:23] The reason I ask, is because once I tried this, and it broke my RAID inside windows [21:23] a while ago [21:23] Sirgado: if the nfs is up already, just need an entry in fstab [21:23] DasEi: this is not a isntalling or configuring problem, this a Ubuntu 10,10 bug, [21:23] nope [21:23] with a 10.04 mounts fine [21:23] Q: between installing 10.10 and now, my HD has stopped reporting SMART data, has there been any reports of changes made in the kernel or tools that trip up the smartctl tools? [21:24] Sirgado: ic, no idea then [21:24] mjs_, VMWare had it's day - but it's kinda past the "used by date" nowadays. [21:24] mjs_ Are you primarily a windows user? I don't know what kind of work you do, but if its sensitive data, until your confident about linux security and user privledges, I'd stick to using windows for financials [21:24] Ah yes, stick to the most insecure platform for business critical and sensitive data! [21:24] YankDownUnder: wrong place here, but they developed on like other projects [21:24] hey guys, I think my lm sensors is playing buggers with me, as it's registering my CPU at 17C, which I am pretty sure it isn't. Is there another way I can check short of sticking a thermomiter in there? [21:25] i just descovrered vnc its great [21:25] YankDownUnder, Yes its insecure, but linux is too, until you know how to use it [21:25] YankDownUnder: it's all about what you know and what you don't [21:25] Learn something new after using linux for 20 years... [21:25] ohsix, thank you [21:25] YankDownUnder: practical insecurity in isolation is a secondary concern [21:26] that's not to say he knows what' he's doing with windows already though ;] [21:26] I'll just have to change my current business model of the past 11 years to accord with your advice. [21:26] Senjai: how is linux insecure, can you explain to me plz? [21:26] what do i do after i downloaded and burned and iso image to a disk? [21:26] YankDownUnder, we weren't talking about you Yank, but its not just online security that needs fretting, if your unaware of user privledges on a work station, you may unwittingly allow someone access to your files [21:26] bc81, see above, its not insecure, not at all, I'm saying if you don't know how to use it yet, it can be [21:27] justinsane: boot to it [21:27] justinsane: installer cd ? [21:27] oo [21:27] gparted [21:27] bc81: your house might be considered secure to some degree if you have doors, but less so if you don't lock them, or know about locks, or can't operate them anyways [21:27] i'm trying to reformat a harddrive [21:27] justinsane: same, set bios to boot from cd, pop it in [21:27] so if i boot to gparted i can reformat the drive ? [21:27] Senjai: another root log-oner I guess [21:28] thx [21:28] i am unfortunately a windows user by circumstance, but don't worry, i would trust the accounting to linux...at work this is still windows based (MAS90)...my question was just about a friend to does glass mosaic and needs a better solution than using ms pub to create an invoice.. [21:28] ActionParsnip, I am not :/ [21:28] How can I create a "app" for panels? Like the system monitor graphs, the fish or the eyes? I just want to show the system temperature. [21:28] justinsane: yes, but is it another drive than the one you're running ubu from ? [21:28] Senjai: I meant YankDownUnder .. [21:28] ActionParsnip, oh, lol i seee [21:28] mjs_, The NCH Express Invoice is great for simple stuff... [21:28] he doesnt' need any flowthrough, just a solution that will allow him to log what he does, and then arrange and calulate for him... [21:29] Cenezo: there is panel items which can read the values picked up by lm-sensors [21:29] thank you for those suggestions, Yank....those were not some of the solutions that i remember finding before.. [21:29] mjs_ good luck :)\ [21:29] Cenezo: lil' procedure, install lm-sensors [21:30] mjs_, I'm always on the prowl for different resolutions for my clients...ergo, I have to always hunt...

[22:20] mamece2: DasEi: you can do a 'df -h | grep sdd' [22:20] Testing [22:20] dasei im not very fond of the mount concept [22:20] lol, mamece2 [22:20] mamece2: mount with no args shows you all mounted partis with their dirs, is sdd1 mounted ?

[22:35] mamece2: the first part of the cmd does it, but home likes to be large, so a faster algo then cp and the possibility to resume and a progress is nice [22:36] mamece2:sudo chown -R $USER /media/OneTouch4 [22:36] -R for recursive [22:36] mamece2:after that could, but cp.. what you see and what you get, the terminal solution is better [22:36] mamece2: recursiv, yes [22:37] mamece2:sudo chown -R $USER /media/OneTouch4 && rsync -Pr /home /media/OneTouch4 [22:37] ok so i could map to a folder from (vm)windows but its saying access denied, its samba who should hace a user right? or the os?

[22:39] mamece2, DasEi, if the filesystem is fat32 or ntfs, neither chown nor chmod will work [22:39] mkanyicy type ntfs [22:40] mamece2, then you have to mount it so that it gives you permissions, you cannot set permissions [22:40] i think is already mounted [22:40] mamece2, you can unmount it and remount it correctly [22:41] mamece2, if you do not like that, work as 'root' using 'sudo' [22:41] mkanyicy: you're confusing [22:41] DasEi, what do you mean? [22:41] mkanyicy: the mountdir has permissions [22:41] DasEi, you cannot chown or chmod an ntfs filesystem [22:42] DasEi, i know [22:42] #fun [22:42] DasEi, they are created at mount time and cannot be changed [22:43] mamece2:tried to copy something meanwhile ? [22:43] DasEi: mkanyicy saids right [22:44] NTFS doesn't use UNIX perms [22:44] anyone know of a good client to connect VOIP to an Avaya IP Office system? [22:44] exutux: but the mountdir uses them, as in fat32 [22:45] DasEi: it doesn't too, it mounting with default permissions for FAT or NTFS [22:45] mamece2: did the copy either graphical or termial succeed ? [22:45] Greetings. I installed Ubuntu around the start of the month, ever since it had been slow, especially in aspects of flash and I cannot listen to high quality music even with the pre-packaged software. I know Ubuntu and flash aren't a happy couple, but for the most part, I'm guessing this is a graphics driver thing and I plan on optimizing for flash after I get this settled. Additional Drivers utility detects nothing, I have an ATI R [22:46] propriety driver It's using due to it not being freeware or something along those lines. Any help? [22:46] DasEi: it can use and copy normally NTFS or FAT for copy paste too, but not needs to change permission [22:46] Oh and I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 [22:46] i dont get this, smbpasswd is failing to add user entry [22:47] oneliner, what are you trying to achieve?

[23:36] first time using ubuntu server, no gui. ive set up LAMP, but cant seem to connect remotly using SSH on a local network [23:36] lj_: Did you try "/join #backtrack-linux ? [23:36] thanks adamruffolo! [23:37] comeback89, Possibly the server is setup for DHCP and you'll have to find the IP address in order to connect? [23:37] ardchoille, bc81 got half of it.. the main menu allows me to ad stuff in the panel [23:37] installed a ssh server? [23:37] comeback89: do you have installed openssh-server? [23:37] ecinx3: Ah, nice [23:37] ecinx3: you can add to panel "Run Application" [23:37] yes ive installed open-shh server , and i have the local ip 192.168... [23:37] i can view the "it works" page [23:38] comeback89: ssh doesn't matter of LAMP [23:38] comeback89, Right - then it appears as though your ssh either isn't installed or setup; however, have you tried to just telnet into it? Did you install telnet? [23:38] no, i'll give telnet a try [23:39] sudo service sshd restart or something? [23:39] all you should have to do is sudo apt-get install openssh-server and then ssh ip [23:39] ardchoille, i got it. RIght click the top. Add to panel. Run Application. [23:39] ecinx3: That'll work :) [23:40] very simplle, i don't know why someone else was being rude instead of just saying that. [23:40] hello all, does anyone know where I could find the file "gtkrc-2.0"? [23:41] SoftTimur, ~/.gtkrc-2.0 mate [23:41] ecinx3: youo're going to like Unity :) It has a search box in the panel [23:41] :-/ [23:42] YankDownUnder: is it normal that I do not have this file? [23:42] SoftTimur: you may have to create it [23:42] I don't have one either [23:42] SoftTimur, Um...should be there my friend...if it ain't, then yeah, you'll have to create it... [23:42] how do I change the tty resolution? [23:42] Reallycool, you mean font size? [23:43] Reallycool, why would you do that? [23:43] SoftTimur: I'm guessing you aren't running gnome session? [23:44] ardchoille: what do you mean? === bishop is now known as Guest85903 [23:44] hey all... a question ... when you have logged in to Ubuntu in a different language and you've by accident chosen "Update names" (the home directories names) ...and you want to change them back to the original English...how is that done ? [23:44] SoftTimur: that file simply tells the system which themes to use [23:44] MegaR, because I installed ubuntu to a usb drive and am seeing the strange effect where the tty appears to be 1920x1080 on one installation and 640x480 or so on another [23:44] gtkrc-2.0 => Example: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Toolkit_Beautification [23:44] So one of the solutions to my driver problem that I haven't been able to try yet is getting a Catalyst Proprietary Driver. Earlier on GNOME opening 'ati-driver-installer-11-1-x86.x86_64.run' gave me a permissions error, and I didn't know how to command-line it. Now in KDE it's trying to open with gedit. [23:45] hey all, im having an issue with my panel. it seems everytime i boot up the icons end up missing, displaying incorrectly, or are in the wrong place. any thoughts? [23:45] What desktop environment? [23:45] Default for Ubuntu is GNOME [23:45] SoftTimur: and if you're running a gnome session, you don't need a gtkrc-2.0 file since the Appearance app does that for you [23:45] jbsoum, same here i was about to ask that [23:45] ardchoille, I tried unity on my laptop, 11.04 something is wrong, it worked once. but everytime i run it no panels show up [23:46] naamio_mies: who did you ask ? [23:46] jbsoum, and tottiq [23:46] ecinx3: unity only has one panel at the top [23:46] jrib: i dont really understand? remove the package, it looks like i would be removing a lot? [23:46] actually I want to add a line in the file "gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"" [23:46] i can only get it by running unity -release [23:46] ecinx3: 11.04 Natty Narwhal support is at #ubuntu+1 [23:46] gnome, 10.10 [23:47] SoftTimur: some examples on how to do that are here http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Toolkit_Beautification [23:47] or something like that, but then if i close the terminal window it crashes. I really wanted to try it for the 'utouch' since my screen is multitouch [23:47] ardchoille: do you know how could I do this setting without changing that file? [23:47] YankDownUnder: Thanks for that link :) [23:47] naamio_mies, they are displaying incorrectly [23:47] naamio_mies, same, gnome, 10.10 [23:47] ardchoille, Yer welcome mate. [23:47] SoftTimur: no idea, I don't use that file [23:47] naamio_mies, with a random order [23:47] Starminn, thanks.. I'm not going to miss with unity at the moment [23:48] hey all... a question ... when you have logged in to Ubuntu in a different language and you've by accident chosen "Update names" (the home directories names) ...and you want to change them back to the original English...how is that done ? anyone ? [23:48] Weird. Don't know what to say, I had a similar problem but with KDE that I fixed. Not sure about GNOME [23:49] Since you both got this problem at the same time(?) it might be an update thing [23:49] ive been having this problem for the past 2 or 3 weeks now [23:50] coraxx: no idea, but you might look into the startup application called " User folders update". "Update common folders names to match current locale" the command it's calling is xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update [23:50] !help .run [23:50] bc81: thanx... I'll look right now [23:50] install grub boot loader to master boot record... I want that, right? [23:51] this will be the only OS on this computer [23:51] jrasmussen: yes, you want that [23:51] thx === ernesto_ is now known as Rman [23:54] jbsoum, you tried resetting your panel? [23:54] bc81, how do i reste my panel? [23:54] !panels | jbsoum [23:54] jbsoum: To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [23:55] ok everything looks normal now bc81 [23:56] but resetting means i have to reorganize my panel again, am i going to have to do this everytime? [23:56] I have a problem with Totem.. It won;t play anything after a brand new OS install.. I removed all configs and removed the app.. smae result.. i've purged the app and reinstalled with the same resuilts [23:57] totem seems to slowly buffer local files until i can 'seek' & see the individual frame.. effectively now playback [23:58] jbsoum: i don't know..but it's something to try and see if that fixes it. [23:59] well, bc81, it's fixed, but my xchat icon is missing from the panel, which i believe is supposed to be there by default, and all my shortcuts are gone
