[00:00] thanks guys downloading some of them now [00:00] gmg: if you're using network manager, right-click the applet, edit connections, choose your connection, edit, enter password when prompted, check "connect automatically" [00:00] gmg: I'm not sure about network manager but I think you could do it by modifying /etc/network/interfaces file, I wonder if wicd will do it? [00:00] Thanks. I read that shred doesn't work right with ext3. Is that true for ext4? [00:01] JeffCBR, what are you looking todo secure delete files? [00:02] ResQue: I was just reading man shread. [00:02] I did that but it doesn't automaticly recreate the Ad-Hoc network. But it automatic connect to a other access point [00:02] man shread [00:02] man shred! [00:02] Is journaling enable by default with ext4 in Ubuntu? [00:03] JeffCBR, i see, secure-delete is very useful [00:03] I need to recreate a wireless internet sharing network automaticly when a pc restarts [00:03] !ext4 [00:03] ohsix: how are you sure that the controller will work [00:03] JeffCBR: yes [00:03] OCZ said it will not work without the special drivers they made [00:03] I have cron.daily jobs starting at 15.30 my time, I rather they start between 00-03 my time, how do I make that happen? [00:03] In Ad-Hoc mode [00:03] JeffCBR: may help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tools-to-delete-files-securely-in-ubuntu-linux.html [00:03] JeffCBR: yes ext4 is journalized [00:04] JeffCBR: ext2 is not, ext3 is just ext2 with a journal [00:04] almoxarife: change the cron. If it's cron'd as your user run: crontab -e if its as root use: sudo crontab -e [00:05] elp [00:05] almoxarife: or you can use gnome-schedule for a gui (run with gksudo for root crons) === MRB[game] is now known as matthewrbowker [00:07] ActionParsnip: gnome-schedule changes cron ? or is an added process? [00:07] quick question [00:07] almoxarife: its a gui to cron afaik [00:07] i want to know what folder bzr is installed in [00:07] can anyone else help me how to wake a pc with bluetooth while in suspend mode? [00:07] is there a command i can use? [00:07] dandaman: whereis bzr [00:07] i need to change my authentication.conf file [00:07] almoxarife: Gnome-schedule is a graphical user interface that leverages the power of vixie-cron, dcron and at to manage your crontab file and provide an easy way to schedule tasks on your computer [00:09] dandaman: if you're running a bzr server, it's probably somewhere in /etc/bzr/. If you're running a bzr client, I think ~/.bzr/ [00:09] isn't their a command I can put in startup to auto-recreate a wireless Ad-Hoc network? [00:09] thanks! [00:09] ActionParsnip: thnks [00:12] gmg: you did what? modify /etc/network/interfaces? pastebinit lets see what you have [00:12] sacarlson: i thin s/he went [00:15] what's an easy way to decode gzip content on a captured http stream? [00:16] hello guys [00:16] ok im trying to setup my internet connection, on campus i have to go through various proxies, one for anything on port 80 and 443, another for every other port, and then at home i dont have to go through any of this, the proxy for port 80 and 44 [00:16] 3 is a http proxy [00:16] I was wondering, will the nVidia graphics card work on the latest dell xps 15 with ubuntu? [00:17] I mean, beacause of all that optimus thing [00:17] SliMM so far for me its been a nightmare [00:17] hi, does anybody has to suggest me a cover-flow or grid-flow pluggin for rrhythmbox? Thanks in advance! [00:18] I'm trying to format my SD card to ntfs but in the format menu via right clicking the desktop icon I can only see fat [00:18] SliMM: its a GT435M, so yes. The proprietary driver will run it [00:18] Sub_Zero: install ntfsprogs [00:18] ActionParsnip: the problem is nvidia optimus [00:18] Sub_Zero: Won't gparted be more suitable for that? [00:18] SliMM: what's that? [00:18] hi, does anybody has to suggest me a working cover-flow or grid-flow pluggin for rrhythmbox? Thanks in advance! [00:19] ActionParsnip Already installed, still no show [00:19] ActionParsnip: core i5 has an integrated gpu that generally gets priority [00:19] ActionParsnip: and nvidia doesn't have proper drivers for linux [00:19] Diamondcite The format selection is greyed out [00:19] teddyb: why? [00:19] SliMM: oh one of those dual vga card things [00:19] Sub_Zero: For just ntfs? [00:19] what does this error mean? thunar-volman: Must specify the new HAL device UDI with --device-added.

[00:20] Diamondcite No the entire 'format to' is [00:20] ActionParsnip: not optimus [00:20] what does this error mean? thunar-volman: Must specify the new HAL device UDI with --device-added. [00:20] SliMM: they MAKE linux drivers [00:20] ActionParsnip: they don't include their optimus technology [00:20] i have a 310m :( [00:20] SliMM: that looks like some switch where you can change video adapters, right? [00:20] Sub_Zero: If Maybe you card is unformated and a partition table needs to be created first? [00:20] ActionParsnip: software switch [00:21] teddyb: and does it not work at all? [00:21] teddyb: or is there an option in the bios for enabling it [00:21] SliMM: i've seen people write scripts and guis for it, personally I advise staying away from stuff like that [00:22] Sub_Zero: you may need superuser priv to format removeable media [00:22] SliMM: http://www.netbooknews.com/5133/linux-ubuntu-gets-gpu-switching/ [00:22] ActionParsnip: i don't want that thing, i just want to make sure i can disable it without disabling the nvidia card as well [00:22] in the bios i have the option for just the intel one or the two of them [00:22] slimm ^ [00:23] SliMM: http://www.laptops-drivers.com/video-cards-drivers/how-to-fix-nvidia-optimus-disabled-to-switch-to-discrete-graphics-in-asus-u35jc.html [00:23] join red [00:23] SliMM: seems possible, thats for an asus but there may be similar for dell [00:24] okie, i got bodhi linux, how do i get this xchat to server for ICQ?

Thank you [00:27] ShapeShifter499, it delays yes [00:27] hi [00:27] hrm too bad slimm left [00:27] can anyone help me with installing ubuntu netbook? [00:27] g_0_0, just looked at its man file [00:27] eijutobi: in what sense, can you expand the question please [00:27] ShapeShifter499, basically we said wait 20 seconds and then execute the other command [00:28] i'm trying to add the google repository to software sources. I've added the key already and it is listed but I'm not sure what the actual repository URI is [00:28] I'm trying to install 10.10 alongside Win 7 in a dual-boot scenario. But there are already 4 primary partitions on the laptop (HP). Is there a way to create an extended partition without deleting any of the existing primaries? Or convert one of the primaries to be an extended, without losing the data? [00:28] i put in the disc and there's no installation menu, just something that looks awfully like a terminal [00:28] has anybody here added the google repository? [00:28] immy: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/use-google-linux-repositories-in-ubuntu.html [00:28] <_vladt> I'm trying to use synaptics for my mouse so that I can use syndaemon to turn off my track pad while I type on my laptop; however, /proc/bus/input/devices doesn't list my mouse as having synaptics enabled and though I've turned it on in X11/xorg.conf it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any recommendations on what to look at? I'm on 10.10 [00:29] eijutobi: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [00:29] yeah. [00:29] should i re-download it? [00:29] does anyone know how to fix this error? thunar-volman: Must specify the new HAL device UDI with --device-added. [00:29] eijutobi: good and are you using a CD? [00:29] yes [00:29] eijutobi: no if it passed MD5 then its fine :) [00:29] g_0_0, I modified it a bit also http://pastebin.com/gX6qxB6w [00:29] hrm.. [00:29] im finding the default video drivers for 10.10 sufficient for my nvidia GTS 250, however fan speed is still maxed out w/o nividia drivers, anything i can do besides installing nvidia? [00:30] eijutobi: ok then when the CD starts to boot, press SPACE and select to test the CD for defects, you can also test RAM from the same page [00:30] ActionParsnip, thank again [00:30] bye everybody [00:30] Mon_Colonel_: np man [00:30] alright i'll try it. thanks [00:30] hay all [00:30] hay [00:30] ShapeShifter499, looks fine [00:31] g_0_0, I'm going to reboot once more and check it... [00:31] 10.04 has multitouch touchpad function enabled by default.. however the system/mouse doesnt show any settings for it.. any ideas? [00:31] brb [00:32] thanks actionparsnip - i have found that and another webpage with the same URI but it gives me an error - unable to find expected entry [00:33] immy: so you added: deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list? [00:34] ActionParsnip: that repo doesn't exist anymore [00:35] ohsix: yeah just noticed [00:35] Anybody have a multi-touch solution for laptop that they like? [00:35] nvm actionparsnip - i was getting an error - software sources adds an extra entry for source code - i just deleted it and it looks like everything is ok now [00:35] thank you [00:35] immy: are you after picasa?

[00:37] immy, http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux [00:37] i'm i able to formatan NTFS partition from ubuntu so i can use it for files storage? [00:37] immy: you can get daily chromium buils using: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y install chromium-browser [00:37] xtbgod: yes; install ntfsprogs and use gparted [00:37] but will it be stable?

[00:45] i'm studying psyc and some humanities courses - i usually use MS Word and looking for an alternative - i'd like a very good citation/bib tool (preferably integrated) and a word processing programme that allows me to write essays and research reports with appropriate styles and citation formats (APA, Harvard...) [00:45] is OO sufficient?

Was there a reason you edited it to add the other channels [00:58] ActionParsnip well, this is a very general linux question from me; and, is this an official support channel here? Actually i want to use troff for the mapages, this is about 30 years old... i doubt i will find a "support channel" for that (LOL) [00:59] ShapeShifter499, did you reduce the sleep time, you may need to increase it again. [00:59] g_0_0, not really [00:59] ActionParsnip: thanks [00:59] pundit: your release isn't suppored in any way [00:59] g_0_0, no http://pastebin.com/3jg5w0xA [00:59] heya, i'm trying to install adobe air. i see in most tutorials to download the .bin instead. but i also see a .deb. should i download the .bin anyway? === arnold is now known as dsdeiz- [01:00] ActionParsnip please read my last post, maybe then my question will become clearer to you [01:00] plaastik: not sure man, sorry [01:00] Launch fuckPsn: sudo ./fuckPsn.rb [01:00] sorry..i got disconnected [01:01] UBUNTU 10.10 :: how do i put the Clock all the way to the right, it wont allow me to go paste the wifi icon and such in the top panel? [01:01] ahh nvm. it maybe the .deb [01:01] Are there any media players that compare to Banshee and Rhythmbox? I'm having an issue with both of them, so I'm trying to find one that uh. works. [01:02] roasted vlc plays media [01:02] g_0_0, I left the values alone in alsamixer and when I run the whole command as it is in rc.local in the terminal, it works [01:02] g_0_0, sound [01:02] Roasted, all i could suggest is http://alternativeto.net/software/rhythmbox/ which you may have already looked at [01:03] Roasted: what about vlc? [01:03] Roasted totem (Movie Player) does [01:03] ShapeShifter499, it should work [01:03] you could split the command over several lines [01:03] guys, I'm not trying to PLAY media. I'm trying to find an itunes style program, that can set up playlists on my mp3 player, etc. [01:04] erUSUL truely with the option -T ascii instead of the default ps the output of groff -mandoc is readable. but i cant see why the system should use this option, as the /etc/manpath.config explicitly says it uses "groff -mandoc" [01:04] g_0_0, so if I put the commands on different lines in rc.local, they will run separately? [01:04] ShapeShifter499, yeah [01:04] Roasted, you could use Spotify.. or WINE the WIndows version of iTunes [01:04] Roasted: gtkpod? [01:05] Rythmbox and Banshee are the best ones I know of [01:05] alisalaah, well, I want a program that works, so no - I won't use itunes :P [01:05] I'm having issues with both of them that's raging me at the moment. [01:05] I'm not sure if it's my player or the programs or what. [01:05] alisalaah, right click the items which won't move and uncheck "lock to panel" [01:05] Roasted: what about gtkpod? [01:05] let me look that one up [01:06] g_0_0, ah I did not know that [01:06] do I need an ipod for gtkpod? [01:06] g_0_0, and no need for & between them? [01:06] Stormx2, i tried and the clock wont go right of wifi.. and wifi doesnt move [01:06] Roasted: wine + spotify is decent [01:06] Roasted: Don't think so. I have it installed. Haven't played around with it much but it works without an iPod as far as i can tell. [01:07] everyone here [01:07] Roasted: scratch that. Never mind. I think you are right about the ipod tpart [01:07] bc81_: It worked on the USB port it was on, then I took it off like I usually do when it's charged, came back, plugged it back in, it says it's in USB mode and it shows up in Computer, and it just didn't work right after that [01:07] Oh whoops [01:07] wrong preset [01:07] ma bad [01:08] ShapeShifter499, no no need f0r && [01:08] if only rhythmbox would work [01:08] sigh [01:08] hi [01:08] Roasted: did you try to remove it and reinstall? [01:08] i removed the empathy icon from the panel but the power button is also gone now [01:08] how do i get it back? [01:08] adamruffolo, many times [01:09] immy reset the tasbars? [01:09] is it possible to disable the capabilities to use a mouse in a terminal via some config file? [01:09] \quit [01:10] Roasted: try gmusicbrowser [01:10] how do i reset? [01:10] roasted: or Amarok [01:11] he. I'm currently using vlc as my main media player for I found it's pretty much the best at handling latency over my lan (I'm actually accessing a small samba share on nas over wifi)... Only problem is it kinda sucks for music management. Any good alternatives? (mainly I'm looking for: good buffering (latency handling), decent music/collection management, low on ressources) [01:11] immy hold on. you might wanna back up your links while i hand type in the command [01:11] Hello. Had a quick question for everyone. Can hyperlinks be written into zenity dialogs? [01:12] hi all I got like problem first my keyboard on my laptop is not totaly working the numpad do not work and my nvidia gc is not used ( it is using myhd intel instead -_-) the 2 cards are detected but when I install the nedded nvidia drivers I end up to the consol is there a way that I can fix this ? [01:13] x [01:14] how do you know what apt-get has installed on your ubuntu before? [01:14] I cant seem to run a file in the terminal from my desktop that I need. [01:15] or is there a way to find out what apps are installed [01:15] immy this will do it: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel [01:15] spark_: what kind of nvidia gc do you have? [01:15] thx :) [01:15] pareli I have an 310m [01:15] Nicolas_Leonidas: You're trying to find previously installed programs? [01:15] What's the solution to a kernel panic caused by a bad kernel update or memory allocation error? [01:15] agreimann: yes [01:16] Nicolas_Leonidas: synaptic has a filter to show you installed packages [01:16] strav`: only for packages that synaptic has installed or everything? [01:16] OK. In the shell, go ahead and type in "ls /var/cache/apt/archives" with no quotes. [01:16] This will list all packages you have previously installed. [01:17] Download source code [01:17] You might want to add the | less flag if the list is long. [01:17] Install required gems with gem install rubydns [01:17] Launch fuckPsn: sudo ./fuckPsn.rb [01:17] chrislu5tic: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:17] sudo ./fuckPsn.rb wont work.. andy ideas? [01:17] spark_: tried startx when you end up in console? [01:17] agreimann: thanks [01:17] I recently updated my system. apparently this included a nm-applet update. since then, the tooltip that tells me wireless strength on nm-applet has stopped working (it just doesn't show up). anyone have any ideas how I would troubleshoot this? [01:17] agreiman, how do you do a complete uninstall through the command line? === taranto__ is now known as taranto [01:17] A complete uninstall? [01:18] From which operating system? [01:18] agreiman, like completely remove an app and all its components from Ubuntu [01:18] Nicolas_Leonidas: everything you installed with apt [01:18] Ah. [01:18] apt-get remove program_name, where program_name is the program you want to uninstall. [01:18] strav`: i'm currently using rhythmbox with a similar setup as you, and have no latency problems, tried it out yet? [01:18] pareli I do not whant to mess up my system :/ [01:18] Nicolas_Leonidas: you can also try dpkg-query which is neat on the cmd line. === Anthraxium is now known as Anthraxium|Detac [01:19] agreiman, next question: What's the solution to a kernel panic caused by a bad kernel update or a memory allocation error? [01:19] Is there such thing as a 'mini' cd instead of the 700mb variety? [01:19] Or, you can open Synaptic, Quick Find the program you want to remove, right-click it, and click "Completely remove package." [01:19] bc81: nope, I tried audacious with different buffer settings and can't seem to get rid of glitches now and then. [01:19] strav`: thanks [01:19] mnaines: Can you revert to the last kernel from grub? [01:19] worked like a charm [01:19] thx dageek [01:19] agreiman, yes. [01:19] bc81: I'll give rythmbox a try. [01:20] anyone on the nm-applet tooltip problem? [01:20] pareli I did not tryed because it try to boot on both card [01:20] strav`: then again, i'm relatively close to my router, so that may be why i experience no latency problems. only with 720p video streaming over samba [01:20] lahwran: You might need to reinstall the notification service with the shell. [01:20] bc81: ok [01:21] Anyone how if hyperlinks can be used in a zenity dialog? [01:21] agreimann: well the notification daemon works fine with it, shows me popups just fine, it just doesn't show me the status *tooltip* that indicates signal strength [01:21] strav`: also, gconf-editor apps >> ryhthmbox >> player, there is a network_buffer_size setting. i think you'll be quite happy with rythmbox :) [01:21] bc81: kinda odd, I don't seem to have any latency for 720p videos. [01:21] anyone here play dark orbit? [01:22] why I can not change my display monitor's resolution?? on KuBuntu Lucid [01:22] lahwran: Ah. What desktop environment do you use? [01:22] it is set to too high [01:22] spark_: oh, well then i'm not sure. installed ubuntu about a week ago for my first time, and i only know so much.. post your problem on ubuntuforums and search your query on google. [01:22] strav`: i should probably look into vlc settings to increase buffer size..forgot aobut that one [01:22] lahwran: If it's a fresh Ubuntu install, it'd be GNOME. [01:22] bc81: although it would have been nice to have this option in rythmbox itself. Have you tried mpd btw? [01:22] agreimann: gnome. I use the standard applets [01:22] g_0_0, going to try it now, I got distracted by watching the earthquake reports on tv [01:23] strav`: never heard of it until now [01:23] lahwran: OK. Can you try to delete your top panel, rebuild it, and explain what happens then? [01:23] yea i know [01:23] will there be more tho? [01:23] agreimann: purpose being? i've heavily customized my panels and would prefer not to delete them. it'd actually be the bottom panel with the indicators. [01:24] induz: Edit the xorg.conf file. Check /etc/X11 and Ubuntu support for options with this. [01:24] g_0_0, should I add a sleep command before each one? [01:24] lahwran: Your applets are on the bottom of the screen? [01:24] Recommend me a p2p client? [01:24] gay [01:25] lahwran: Resetting the panel should assist in fixing the tooltip problem. [01:25] agreimann: the indicator applet is. [01:25] xtbgod: p2p like bittorrent? [01:25] I see :/ [01:25] wants to /join ubuntuofftopic [01:25] !torrent | xtbgod [01:25] xtbgod: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [01:25] xtbgod: rtorrent if you like cli, transmission for gui [01:26] ShapeShifter499, you shouldn't need a sleep command before each one [01:26] Thank you [01:26] ShapeShifter499, just put one at the beginning [01:26] bc81: it's really a good thing. mpd is a music deamon that allows you to control it via tons of clients. So basically, my nas is connected to a sound system and I'm controlling what plays using an mpd client. I never tried to use it on a remote file source. [01:26] Hey, is it possible to run Ubuntu without restart? And then exit ubuntu without restart via having it on a usb drive? [01:27] Quitting... [01:27] Solm: no, but you can run ubuntu inside other oses [01:27] g_0_0, begging of the whole thing like this ? http://pastebin.com/5daDA2jS [01:27] Hey does anyone know how I can get the sound device name I'm using? I'm trying to use gtk-recordmydesktop and I'm not sure what to put for the device area.. [01:27] strav`: sounds interesting, i'll look into it. hey do you know where the vlc buffer settings are? i can't find them for the life of me [01:28] @Aeon-Itd, how would I go about doing that? [01:28] Solm: virtual machines [01:28] g_0_0, *begining [01:28] !vm | Solm [01:28] Solm: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [01:28] g_0_0, *beginning [01:28] ShapeShifter499, that should work [01:29] g_0_0, ok trying now brb [01:29] strav`: is it the default caching policy under input/codecs? [01:30] me have 64bit atom netbook with xubuntu xD [01:30] bc81: tools/settings... show Settings set to all, then input/codecs [01:30] Ubottu, No, I'm asking if I, for example, could go to another computer, for example one at school (I'm in college), and put a USB drive in and start up ubuntu, without restarting the entire computer. [01:30] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [01:30] strav`: thanks :) [01:30] lawl [01:30] Solm: no [01:30] bc81: it's in the input/codecs I just don't remember exactly what setting, let me check. [01:30] how do I wipe my hard drive? [01:30] completly? [01:31] open it.. [01:31] strav`: think i got it, default caching policy? probably want that high as it can go [01:31] ExplodingPiglets: download http://www.dban.org/ , write it to a CD, boot from it, follow instructions. [01:31] Solm: this is kinda close http://lifehacker.com/#!5195999/portable-ubuntu-runs-ubuntu-inside-windows [01:31] shoot it from a cannon? [01:31] ExplodingPiglets: i use the shred command with the flags -n 1 -z [01:31] Does anyone know how I can find my sound devices's name if I'm using alsa? [01:32] ExplodingPiglets: which writes random data to the drive once, then zeroes [01:32] repeat [01:32] bc81: heh. I just don't see that default caching policy [01:32] if your really harry about your data being gone, try to recovver it xD [01:32] @Aeon-itd, Ah, that's awesome, is there any Mac-compatible ones? [01:32] ExplodingPiglets: you can zero it [01:33] strav`: tools >> settings >> input & codecs >> network >> default caching policy [01:33] bc81: ok, It's in the simple settings [01:33] bc81: you have some interesting network related stuff in advanced if you wish to take a look. [01:33] is there a program to allow to use exe files? [01:33] !wine | Secret1222 [01:33] Secret1222: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [01:34] Like the jacknutts I am I accidentally botched my /var permissions. Anyonbe have a link where i can find the defaults? [01:34] strav`: i set it to highest, restarted vlc, tried a 720p video stream, but it still hangs. might be because it's pulling the file off a usb external drive over samba through wifi lol. i'll check out some of those advanced settings though [01:34] i play dark orbit in xubuntu... the games resolutions are not takeing.. [01:34] i am trying to update 10.04 to 10.10, ran the update manager, and i get a window that pops up saying "Could not calculate the upgrade" .... " [01:34] This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later." [01:35] bc81: ah there, in input/codecs in the advanced settings, if you expand access modules you can select alsa and then enter a numeric value in ms for the cache. [01:35] bc81, try 1500 mtu and turn off traffic controls..max any cache available..enable media mode? [01:35] bc81: this of course is for audio... for video I don't remember if I tweaked anything. [01:36] I don't know why this file is being created every time I restart /etc/init.d/.svnserve.swo [01:36] strav`: , jigynet i'll tweak around with those, thanks :) [01:36] x [01:36] I'm trying to get rid of all traits of svn [01:36] xD [01:37] thanks [01:37] Solm: i don't think so [01:37] bc81: something nice too... in the access modules you have an smb module which has a cache value to be set too. (mine is at 1500) [01:37] :) [01:37] so I've got a bunch of JPEG's that kind of in a non-standard format and I want to batch resave them via the CLI, anyone know of a CLI tool that'll read and resave jpeg's accordingly. [01:38] how to use second desktop? I enabled "single display desktop" (Multi-desktop)" but can't find how to drag to it something?! [01:38] im not playing around with perl because i stuffed it up [01:38] hmm [01:38] iszak: do you want to change bits or something else? [01:38] @Aeon-Itd, Ah well thanks anyways [01:38] anyone familiar with updating problems that could help? [01:38] mickster04, It will change the format or so yeah. [01:38] so who should i contact? adobe? game devs? or os support? [01:38] i mean i stuffed ubuntu by installing proxysitelist [01:39] bosyak, what graphics drivers do you have ATI or Nvidia? [01:39] iszak: Ati 5450 [01:39] Hey folks. If I precede a script with "#!/bin/bash" and call it foo, and I just run "foo" from the same directory, it should work, right? [01:40] bosyak, you've installed catalyst control center? [01:40] it's seems to work... yes [01:40] mouse is working [01:40] Xeon06: No. [01:40] Jordan_U: What am I doing wrong? [01:40] so you went into the catalyst control center -> display manager -> select the monitor -> multi display taba nd set it to multi-display desktop with display(s) x [01:40] bosyak, ^ [01:40] Xeon06: If you chmod it so it's executable and do ./foo [01:41] Xeon06: then it will execute the stuff in the bash script [01:41] iszak: so you need a cli tool that can edit files byte by byte so wait around seeif anyone knows of one, otherwise googling that may also help? [01:41] soo, hmm [01:41] Xeon06: It needs to be executable and you need to run "./foo". You can only use the program name alone for programs in $PATH. [01:41] Xeon06: you will need to chmod +x filename for it to work, but yes [01:41] Jordan_U: Cpudan80: ActionParsnip Thanks! [01:41] np [01:41] Xeon06: You're welcome. [01:41] why I can not change my display/monitor settings on Kubuntu/lucid KDE? [01:41] satisfiedCustomers++ [01:41] mickster04, well I just need to resave them all in a common format. [01:42] induz: what video chip? [01:42] I tried to change the dpi from highest to lower and the monitor goes black... [01:42] iszak: I don't want share my desktop on two monitors. I want two separate desktops... is it possible? [01:42] iszak: are they in a proer format now? like png? and you want to change then to jpg? cos that's again slightly different? [01:42] its integrated intel chip [01:42] it works fine on Gnome [01:43] now with the highest dpi set the dispaly is fudgy [01:43] bosyak: it's possible but a little more involved. [01:43] iszak: You can use the "convert" command from imagemagic. [01:43] strav`: thanks again, no more 720p laggage! not sure which setting fixed it (i set all cache possiblities to 5000). now i don't have to copy the files here to watch them [01:43] Jordan_U, yeah just found that [01:43] strav`: any luck with rhythmbox? [01:43] bosyak: there are some good tutorials about this but the last time I did this, you could play with xorg.conf now things have changed. [01:44] can one use application indicators with vala? [01:44] bosyak, then change the multi-display setting to single display desktop (multi-desktop) in the same area in catalyst control panel. [01:44] bosyak, but that said you won't be able to drag between them IIRC. [01:44] and if so, what library do you need [01:44] iszak: how to run something on second monitor? or how to use it? [01:45] bosyak, you move your mouse into the second monitor and thus desktop and run something.. simple [01:45] and it shouldn't conflict with the other one. [01:45] strav`: are Ati card good? or Nvidia have better support? [01:45] bc81: my nas is currently down (gotta buy new hds), but I'll try it later - meanwhile perhaps I'll see if I cannot get more juice out of vlc. I really like using one good application for all my media. [01:45] I go to k--computer..system settings--display/monitor, it ios set to 1280x1024[auto], i want it to change it to1152x864 [01:45] bosyak, I heard Nvidia have better support [01:45] how can i achieve that [01:46] bosyak: you should be able to do it with both. Of course nvidia is always less a pain. [01:46] induz: you can do that in gnome? [01:46] strav`: theres also a ton of plugins in vlc, never messed with them myself. you might find something of use in there [01:46] how do i tell darkorbit/flash to use one resolution? [01:46] mickster04, yes [01:47] where is the natty chat? [01:47] !natty [01:47] Natty Narwhal is the codename for Ubuntu 11.04, due April 28 2011 - Help and support (only) in #ubuntu+1 - Natty is unstable and is not intended for production systems. [01:47] ty [01:47] ) [01:47] :) [01:47] iszak: second monitor is absolutly bold... no context meny. no menu... suppose it's bug? [01:47] yes i can do that on Gnome [01:47] bosyak, you probably haven't created the menus and stuff yet. [01:47] I am stuck [01:47] g_0_0, rebooted 4 times and the commands only worked once [01:48] now the fonts are bleeding [01:48] bosyak: the term you're looking for in google is: xorg multiseat conf [01:48] iszak: mean for secon desktop? But context menu should work? [01:48] strav`: ok [01:48] um. i've got a question... i'm looking at a bunch of ubuntu scripts that have rc.d in them but my Ubuntu install (10.10) has no rc.d folder. it's got rc1.d through rc6.d but no actual rc.d .... will the "update-rc.d" command still work with that? [01:48] !boot [01:48] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [01:49] bosyak, ah yeah, you're right. [01:49] ah. thank you. [01:52] how to disable compiz at all? [01:52] bosyak: press ALT+F2 and run: metacity --replace === marienz_ is now known as marienz [01:53] bosyak: you can also try to install compiz-fusion that lets you manage this from a try icon. [01:54] bosyak: I'm sorry, I meant: fusion-icon [01:54] and I meant tray [01:54] Hi I'm trying to get the latest sqlite3, I've run apt-get update && apt-get install sqlite3 but it's only getting 3.4.2 not 3.7 [01:54] what am I forgetting? [01:55] dazonic: which version of Ubuntu are you on? [01:55] I'd like to add zabbix-agent to an ubuntu box where /etc/debian-version reads: '4.0'. Which version of this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=zabbix-agent do I need, please? [01:55] is it a chip problem?? [01:56] I dont have any extra video card [01:56] iszak: strav` I disable compiz and now I have two desktops :) [01:56] rww hardy I believe... is that the problem? [01:56] is there some solution to that? [01:57] dazonic: Yes. Ubuntu doesn't update to new major versions of software after release, so the current version in hardy repositories is 3.4.2. [01:57] !latest [01:57] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea.

Can i safely delete stuff in that directory? [01:57] g_0_0, I give up [01:57] danub: run: sudo apt-get clean it will happen for you [01:57] bosyak_, will have to remember that. [01:58] ActionParsnip: ty, ill do that :) [01:58] danub, or autoclean [01:58] bosyak_: I somehow doubt that you'll be able to plug two keyboards and have one assigned to a screen and vice-versa (for that would really be two desktops). [01:58] rww, xanga, ubottu thanks heaps! there's no one-liner to upgrade is there? sorry i'm just a drop kick web dev with a vps [01:59] dazonic, upgrade the current system or upgrade to next version? [01:59] bosyak_: you can have a dualseater, but you will need another monitor and mouse :) [02:00] need some help with my taskbar, doesnt give me the option to shutdown, reboot etc.....is there any way to fix this glitch? http://imagebin.org/139197 [02:00] coz_ the current system, from hardy to lucid [02:00] I generally work in debian and am unfamiliar with how ubuntu lables its versions or what relation the /etc/debian-version file (which reads '4.0') might have to the version of ubuntu installed on this box. Can anyone please advise? [02:00] software or hardware kvm [02:00] dazonic: "sudo do-release-upgrade" [02:00] somebody know how use the arpspoof?

[02:03] Hi everyone, here is my problem. I have a PC with an ATI video card, it's connected to a TV via S-Video, I don't have a monitor 'cause all my other pcs are laptops... I boot up with the live CD but as soon as the OS starts the refreshing rate is too fast and I have no clue how I could change it, since everything is fuzzy on my screen [02:04] ahaziah77: try that command, it will reset your panels [02:04] marcagio: using any computer with s video will be painful [02:04] marcagio: no computer display at all ? [02:04] UNITY ! [02:04] marcagio: what is your intended use of this once you install gentoo ? [02:04] bc81, k [02:05] hesco: If you're using 7.04 as lsb_release says, your system reached end-of-life status in October 2008. It is no longer receiving security updates, and is not supported here.

I want to watch movies that are stored on another pc on my TV [02:06] coz_: console is hardly useable with s video [02:06] bc81, I already tried that [02:06] rww: thanks, understandable. But I have not been asked to upgrade this machine, only to ascertain if it is still running. WOuld any of these zabbix-agents work on that old box? [02:06] mattmatteh, ah ok as I said I have no experience with it [02:07] bc81, I pressed don't sleep or whatever after 15 minutes, and it still does [02:07] I want to send files from shell to another website [02:07] how can I do it [02:07] coz_: kinda readable, way better than composite [02:07] mattmatteh, ok .. I will try to keep that in mind [02:07] coz_ will try [02:07] marcagio: i would suggest fidning a computer display to do the install [02:07] J697: also check your screensaver settings [02:08] hesco: If there's a zabbix-agent package in feisty's repositories, ubottu's EOLUpgrades link says how to get access to those repositories (which have been moved to an archive server).

[02:08] J697: System >> Preferences >> Screensaver [02:08] marcagio: i think ubuntu only has a gui installer. all i can think of is using ssh and installing from another computer, like gentoo, but not sure thats what you want [02:08] hi everyone. if i use conky, and i want him to display the artist name from rythmbox wich variable do i have to call? [02:08] thanks, will pursue that then [02:08] coz_: i only used s video once on a computer, and mostly from ps2 linux days [02:08] ok, time to clean up the /usr/ dir. there is 8.9 gigs in it. what can safely be deleted here? [02:08] I'm going. See ya all. [02:09] danub: shouldnt you be using the package manager to remove old packages ? [02:09] recoil_: i've never tried this, so good luck: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5843297 [02:10] how can i type ascii characters using Alt + NumPad and type symbols using AltGr + Letter? === Cain is now known as Guest73764 === Guest73764 is now known as crlcan81 [02:10] mattmatteh: probably, but I dont know how to see the list of the 2200 packages that got downloaded with the upgrade in a terminal. [02:10] guess ill reboot to runlevel 5 and use the gui :( [02:10] ubottu: tell send_from_shell about crossposting [02:10] send_from_shell, please see my private message [02:10] danub: you dont want to go deleting files without understanding how the system works [02:11] mattmatteh: well i was hoping it was all manpages [02:11] danub: take a look at filelight [02:11] rww ? [02:11] especially hidden files with the .*filename* [02:11] mattmatteh: but its all in /usr/lib/ and /usr/share, which gets rid of my "just delete the manuals" theory [02:11] * send_from_shell ignores ubottu [02:11] xtbgod: you mean you want to type special charcters like ©※℞⊙ ? [02:12] rww: thanks for that. Its a beautiful thing. I've never even been able to apt-get update this box since assuming some responsibility for it nearly two years ago. [02:12] send_from_shell: Crossposting support questions in multiple IRC channels is rude and against our IRC guidelines. Asking support questions in #ubuntu-offtopic is also rude. [02:12] bc81, but by pressing AltGr + Letter or Alt + NumPad .. [02:12] danub: is that really using that much space ? [02:12] rww: ok you are rude [02:12] danub: do you have games installed ? [02:12] 3.8 gigs in /usr/lib, and 4.8 in /usr/share/ [02:12] danub: that what i noticed taking up alot [02:13] mattmatteh: just what was installed by default [02:13] send_from_shell: No, I'm just pointing out things you should have read when you joined here and there. [02:13] danub: 8 GB seems high, mine is about 5 here [02:13] with addition apps installed [02:13] mattmatteh: yeah, thats why im doing some housecleaning ;) [02:13] hesco: You're welcome. Bear in mind that those repositories are frozen in the state they were in when feisty went EOL, so as I said, you're missing security updates. [02:13] danub: thats not the correct way to clean [02:13] bc81: thanks [02:14] Is there any way of expanding your mounted drive's swap space/filesystem space to empty space right beside it without loading liveCD and running gparted? [02:14] crlcan81: how much ram do you have ? [02:14] 4 gigs. [02:14] yeah, looks like ill have to go thru synaptic to clean some stuff up [02:15] crlcan81: and thats not enough that you need swap ? [02:15] If you can learn terminal commands, use sudo apt-get ubuntu-tweak [02:15] crlcan81: as long as the partition is unmounted, you can manipulate it [02:15] recoil_: i just press and hold ctrl+shift, then type u2299 then let go of ctrl+shift and get ⊙ [02:15] It's not that, I have free space on the drive I want to recover. [02:16] the only way of doing it is via livecd then, so the drive isn't mounted. [02:16] Because this is the drive currently being ran. [02:16] bc81 so??? [02:16] crlcan81: oh. i am not a fan or resizeing, i usually back up, repartition, restore. infact i am doing that now. if i could only update ubuntu [02:17] Well this is from an old install that wasn't properly finished. [02:17] Hey... could I have some help identifying why I am getting the error: Failed to build newlib (stage: newlib_build) in the terminal? Here's the log of the build: http://pastebin.com/5hYeg2nk It doesn't start from the very top, but I don't think that part is important. [02:17] So I finally was able to fix it. [02:17] bc81: uhm no1 asked that me neither.. xD [02:17] recoil_: so there are some settings in System >> Preferences >> Keyboard >> Layouts >> Options >> Alt/Win Key Behavior [02:18] i dont want this to know i never aked that [02:18] recoil_: sorry, got your name mixed up with xtbgod [02:18] xD [02:19] In fact I'm about to run live CD now to resize. [02:20] boa noite, amigos! [02:20] So you can, in fact, expand your filesystem's partition once the freespace has been moved between swap and filesystem? Or can it be incorporated with other keystrokes? [02:20] Nevermind. Stupid me. I think it might be because I don't have some newlib files installed. [02:20] I don't know all of gparted's commands, or any other program that does that. [02:20] bc81, i read what u said lemme check [02:21] what are some ways of running commands at boot as root? [02:22] So I just upgraded from Hardy to Lucid and the one thing I cannot get installed is libmtp8. dpkg -d=2000 isn't giving me any information at all and none of the bug reports on this topic seem to be resolved. [02:23] ShapeShifter499: you can put commands into /etc/rc.local and they will be run at boot as root, automatically.... [02:23] bc81: works perfectly thank you :D [02:23] Does anyone have any experience getting libmtp8 installed on Lucid? Amarok and rhythmbox depend on it. [02:23] Loshki, rc.local isn't reliable for me, doesn't run commands most of the time [02:25] ShapeShifter499: then you're doing something wrong. I don't know of any bugs in this area that would prevent running commands. Wanna pastebin the commands so we can see them?

I assume the unreliability comes from the same timing issues that caused you to add the sleep in the first place... [02:35] jordan_: do you know how to open a terminal window? [02:35] jordan_: applications -> accessories --> terminal [02:35] Hypatia , yes [02:35] jordan_: ok now type lsusb [02:35] Hello every one, having trouble with my Drivers, I can only get wireless on Ubuntu 10.4 32bit not in 10.10 or any other Linux mint distro, or arch based o.s. for that matter.

[02:36] moszer: what package? [02:36] Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:8172 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8191S WLAN Adapter [02:36] green_ i had a similar problem in 10.10 - is your wireless option disabled completely? [02:36] ActionParsnip: 573444 and 587072 [02:36] Loshki after some googling..... couldn't I just add this to the crontab? [02:36] maybe my comp can not handle KDE [02:36] and greyed out [02:36] theperfecttaco: /SET irc_conf_mode 1 [02:36] should i download some s/w [02:37] ActionParsnip: neither have resolutions, neither have any attention from the maintenance team [02:37] bc81: thanks [02:37] ok jordan_ now search google or wherever for RTL8191S and ubuntu [02:37] induz: what's your problem? [02:37] i need to set my display on KDE with LUcid [02:37] preinstallation script errors can be PITA sometimes purging the package can hel p ..yes? [02:37] moszer: you can double click .deb's to install them [02:37] linoge, I can not change my dispaly/monitor setting to lower from 1284x [02:37] hold on mickster04 [02:37] ShapeShifter499: do the commands not run, or do they run too soon to take effect?. Add some echo "running amixer" >> /tmp/local.log statements to the file to see if they show up in /tmp/local.log.... [02:38] linoge, i can change it on Gnome but not on KDE [02:38] ShapeShifter499: you could use crontab instead, but until you know why it isn't working, you could just end up with the same problem.. [02:38] I'm trying to install ubuntu with vsphere and am having no luck. It says that it can't find the mirror and just stops at 0 percent when installing? [02:38] theperfecttaco: yes its totally disabled [02:38] jukelox: if there is a bug logged then its a known issue. You'll just have to watch the bugs [02:39] mickster04~its a tar.bz2, should i run it on terminal? [02:39] jordan_: http://alexsleat.co.uk/2011/02/15/realtek-rtl8191s-in-ubuntu-10-10/ looks to be your answer [02:39] 1280x1024[5:4] is set on Gnome but I can not change that on KDE [02:39] moszer: that is probably best [02:39] Loshki ok so add it to rc.local and reboot? --> echo "running amixer" >> /tmp/local.log s [02:39] linoge, 1280x1024[5:4] is set on Gnome but I can not change that on KDE [02:39] moszer: there will be instructions how to install it [02:39] Loshki /s [02:39] theperfecttaco: "wifi is disabled by hardware button" [02:39] hey all, I am trying to get dvbstream to work for my AverMediaVolorMAX usb card. I can scan channels with w_scan and I can view with "mplayer dvb://ChannelName". When I try to dvbstream though it won't lock [02:39] jordan_: please keep it in the channel [02:39] is some driver missing? [02:39] green_: you need to flip your wifi switch [02:40] on your laptop somewhere [02:40] ActionParsnip: But it's not an issue for everyone, it's a limited scope issue, so I'm asking if anyone here has experience with it. [02:40] induz: no the drivers is the same [02:40] ah, sorry, just getting confusing whos comments are going where [02:40] lol [02:40] jordan_: see the link i posted a bit ago [02:40] i got it [02:40] hypatia: yea it doesnt respond its a big flashing button next to my power button [02:40] induz: the settings on the driver in the DE may be different [02:40] hey. I'm having a problem with gnome-power-management not detecting that its in a discharge state on my laptop [02:40] green_: what type of system do you use? [02:40] so dl that [02:40] ActionParsnip, i liked KDE as i want to work on KDEnlive but now caz of this dsplay problem i can not [02:40] I run upower --dump and it says its AC-line in [02:40] Loshki ok rebooting.... brb [02:40] jordan_: yup... you'll also need to install the "build-essential" package [02:40] Any insight? [02:41] mickster04: thanks,but i did follow the instructions,lastly i copy & paste the code [02:41] induz: try a clean install of kubuntu [02:41] in order for those instructions to work, jordan_ [02:41] theperfecttaco: ubuntu 10.4? or what do you mean? [02:41] is anyone able to have mental pictures or images in your mind? [02:41] k, how do i dl it [02:41] ActionParsnip, Iupgraded this from karmic? [02:41] jordan_: use synaptic or apt-get [02:41] green_: hardware - desktop/laptop? manufacturer? [02:41] ShapeShifter499: yes, add it then reboot, then look in /tmp/local.log. Maybe add a 2nd line at the end (before the exit 0) like: echo "ran amixer" >> /tmp/local.log so you can make sure the script executes all the way to the end... [02:41] now i am on Lucid KDE with Gnome [02:41] do i need to type a cmd in the terminal [02:41] green_: you have any blocks? type the command >> rfkill list [02:41] however you usually install software, jordan_ [02:41] haha, i just migrated from windows this week [02:41] moszer: well it sounds like you have already unziped the package, you just need to go do the next thing [02:42] so im an absolute noob with linux right now [02:42] theperfecttaco: Laptop 64 bit, compaq presario CQ60 [02:42] induz: from karmic kubuntu? [02:42] jordan_: at a terminal: sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:42] jordan_, this is the place to be then... [02:42] jordan_: also, welcoem :) [02:42] !ot | FuseOnFire [02:42] FuseOnFire: #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] bc81: no no blocks [02:42] k, its doing some stuff [02:42] green_: do you know the maker of your wireless card? [02:42] thank you btw [02:43] bc81: in general you can just ignore one off's like that [02:43] jordan_: if you prefer a graphical interface for installing software, you can use applications --> ubuntu software center [02:43] microsoft wanted over $600 to put an os on two htpc's, well not from me,lol [02:43] mickster04: will do xD [02:43] jordan_: i run ubuntu on my htpc, it's lovely :) [02:43] ah ok, seen that a bit already [02:43] (and my tablet, and my netbook....) [02:43] (and my servers...) [02:43] theperfecttaco: no but let me check I just had it [02:44] jordan_: the build-essential package includes some compilers and other tools for building software [02:44] yeh i will do the same if i can get everything worked out, laptop, server, two htpc's [02:44] from karmic ubuntu ActionParsnip [02:44] which is what you're doing for that wifi card [02:44] ah, cool [02:44] ActionParsnip, Then downloaded KDE desktop plasma [02:44] mickster04: next thing i guess is to :cd" it in the terminal, correct me if i am wrong [02:44] Any idea why maverick would just randomly go blindingly white for a second and then back to normal? [02:44] so normally when i need to install something, i compile the driver and stuff myself [02:44] * canthus13 has the intel 4500MHD chipset. [02:44] jordan_: for the htpc make sure you run the vdpau builds of mplayer to do graphics card accelleration for video playback [02:44] !ftp [02:44] FTP clients: Nautilus (Places -> Connect to server), gFTP, FileZilla (for !GNOME); Konqueror, Kasablanca, KFTPGrabber (for !KDE); FireFTP (for Firefox); ftp, lftp (for !cli) - See also !FTPd [02:45] moszer: yeahg [02:45] ah ok, maybe u can walk me throught that in a second [02:45] What is your favorite ftp client? [02:45] jordan_: normally the drivers are just in the kernel, but for some wifi cards and a few other thigns, you end up needing to build them yourself [02:45] green_ i think compaq uses atheros [02:45] back in the terminal the process has finished [02:45] jordan_: also, plese try mentioning my name (hit tab to complete it) so your messages stick out for me [02:45] share: a favourite is off topic [02:45] compaq/hp uses a lot of different chipsets. === canon is now known as Acid190 [02:45] mickster04: ... [02:45] if anyone has a suggestion for a better channel on dvbstream questions too, that would be great [02:46] Which FTP client do you recommend?

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [02:46] theperfecttaco: yup that one is it [02:46] someone give me some proxy information [02:46] share: filezilla [02:46] so i can install this please [02:46] theperfecttaco: dont have the info on me but that sounds correct [02:46] Can someone help me install ubuntu 10.10? I have a system with 5hdds and I want to install it on /dev/sdc since its the fastest of them all. After I finish the install and reboot nothing happens, grub doesnt even attempt to load. I booted into a live disc and reinstalled grub on /dev/sdc, rebooted and still nothing???? [02:46] bc81: k tks [02:46] test [02:46] test [02:46] how do i get them to stick to u [02:46] infox: you probably don't wanto install grub there, unless your pc boots to it first? [02:46] Hello. [02:47] infox: try picking the third drive to boot first in the bios [02:47] green_: my problem was that there was a miscommunication between the wireless card and the system - the card was telling the system that it was hard disabled when it actually wasn't [02:47] njero, try # dbox2 [02:47] infox: Are you sure that you're booting from /dev/sdc? What exactly does happen when you try to boot? [02:47] I'm leaning more and more towards switching to Ubuntu... [02:47] It is already selected to boot from that drive [02:47] nothing [02:47] What's the difference between the netbook and desktop versions? [02:47] no messages [02:47] green_: this is a long shot, but try "sudo rmmod -f "compaq_laptop" [02:47] it finishes the post and does nothing [02:47] coz_: thanks will do [02:47] Hypatia, how do i get my comments to stick to u again [02:47] infox: well try the different drives and see if one of them works [02:47] :| [02:48] jordan_: you just did :) [02:48] lol, i wish, i typed it [02:48] jordan_: oh hit tab [02:48] that completes the name [02:48] test [02:48] jordan_: so like hyp [02:48] BlueProtoman: The netbook edition has a user interface tailored to netbooks and different default programs. Apart from that, they're the same. [02:48] jordan_: type hyp and hit the tab key one time [02:48] hypatia, ahhhhhhhh [02:48] got it [02:48] theperfecttaco: had no response from terminal [02:48] hypatia, got it [02:48] Hey. I need a proxy to download ubuntu, anyone please help. [02:49] Would Ubuntu work on a Dell Inspiron Mini? I think it's designed to work on a lot of things, but... [02:49] jordan_: did you get build-essential working? [02:49] hypatia, so my terminal has finsihed doing whatever it does [02:49] !tab [02:49] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

I need a proxy to download ubuntu, anyone please help. [02:49] green_: write down that command - i have to use it periodically to re-enable my wireless [02:50] jordan_: gonna take this to pm as it's a bit complex from here [02:50] theperfecttaco: and it says no such file or directory [02:50] coz_: was dbox2 a channel name or a tool? [02:50] hypatia, k [02:50] nowimproved: What do you mean? [02:50] green_: oh. balls. [02:50] njero, channel name type /join #dbox2 [02:50] green_: it could be that your wireless card has a proprietary driver. check System>Administration>Hardware drivers [02:50] Jordan_U, i'm going through vsphere if asks for a proxy or when i'm going to download it just stalls at 0 percent [02:50] coz_: yeah I joined, it is empty [02:50] theperfecttaco: but im in 10.4 right now, were the wifi works [02:50] dazonic: run "sudo service ssh start" and see if you get errors [02:50] njero, o0 [02:51] the specified ubuntu archive mirror is either not available, or does not exist.

[02:59] ShapeShifter499, I think you're going to need the sleep commands, try putting sleep 10 at the beginning and sleep 5 after each command it's not ideal but I think you should be able to get it to work === Guest68507 is now known as PatSter21 [02:59] theperfecttaco: what is somthing (command) you would do if your wireless activation button was to break? [02:59] i would like to avoid re-encoding the video to do this. Suggestions? [02:59] swazzy: gnome-look.org [02:59] green_: if you have a disable/enable radio button on your keyboard - type "rfkill list" in terminal, hit your radio button and type the command again and see if there's a change in the output [03:00] green_: do you mean hardware button or a software button? [03:00] g_0_0, I've been google-ing and I'm wondering... why not use crontab [03:01] ShapeShifter499, what's the advantage? [03:01] have you got the correct driver for your soundcard?

[03:05] theperfecttaco: for sure man thank you for all your help btw you got the best Nick name i've seen [03:05] ramon: tha'ts the wifi going into power saving mode; what chipset? you need to use iwpriv to disable power saving on broadcoam chips with the wl driver, iw should work for all the open source drivers [03:05] g_0_0, yep [03:05] green_: hahaha, thanks. it's a tom robbins reference :p [03:05] alakhia: what video format is it currently in? [03:06] ramon: are there any bugs logged? [03:06] miketomdool: i think the canon videocam uses h264 compression [03:06] alakhia: i don't think that is at all possible? you still have to stitch the sound and video back together again? [03:07] ohsix: how do i do that? [03:07] ShapeShifter499, ok do -> alsactl init - if the system is correct, try alsactl store and reboot [03:07] can someone point me in the right direction for how to manage ubuntu server [03:07] !server [03:07] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI.

[03:07] mickster04: i was hoping i could at least trim without reencoding [03:07] alakhia: I assume you could mute it? [03:07] ShapeShifter499, for a reason? [03:07] mickster04: perhaps replacing the audio would not be that easy ... and i could do that last [03:07] ShapeShifter499, can you change it back again? [03:08] g_0_0, I did change it back [03:08] mickster04: right, or just drop the audio without re-encoding [03:08] g_0_0, and I did it so sound wouldn't play durring a remote control session [03:08] alakhia: try it [03:08] g_0_0, sound wouldn't play at home [03:08] ok do as I described above, comment out the lines in rc.local by placing a # at the beginning of each line [03:09] ShapeShifter499, obviously not the exit line [03:09] ShapeShifter499, just the lines you added [03:09] g_0_0, ok [03:09] thanks ohsix, miketomdool and mickster04 [03:10] dude seriously i need a mirror for 8.10 [03:10] please [03:10] nowimproved: 8.10 is no longer supported [03:10] g_0_0, ok now what?

But right now i only have one (before updating) [03:38] about to punch rhythmbox in the face [03:38] chikokishi: yes, one is an updated kernel.

[03:50] Diamondcite, no [03:50] it doesnt duplicate the file space [03:50] Diamondcite: no, its just a list of the media to play and sometimes where it is [03:50] Diamondcite, it just creates a file the gizmo references === K4k_ is now known as K4k [03:51] Roasted: Have you ever compared one of your sansa's playlist files with your own creations? [03:52] Diamondcite, I've only made playlists in rhythmbox cause it was the only program that worked, until rhythmbox decided to stop working all together [03:52] g_0_0, it still muted [03:52] hi === bilios is now known as mr_mojo_risin [03:52] g_0_0, well not muted but it comes up with the sound turned all the way down in alsamixer [03:52] Roasted: Do you still have one of those working playlists around to compare them with to see what is different? (it doens't help that I don't use rythmbox...) [03:52] Diamondcite, yes, theres 2 playlists on the device itself. [03:53] Diamondcite, whats the point tho? I dont want to create playlists ON the device. I want to create them in a program because its much more efficient [03:53] ShapeShifter499, was the sound down when you rebooted, you could try adjusting the sound to the required volume and rebooting [03:53] Roasted, have you seen this -> http://wiki.birth-online.de/know-how/hardware/sandisk-sansa-fuze/rhythmbox [03:53] Hello all. :) I'm looking to switch to Linux and my main time waster will be some Java programming. Is Ubuntu a distro that's well suited for this goal? [03:53] g_0_0, yes, and I have [03:53] Riobe, yes [03:53] g_0_0, I saw that I should create an EMPTY file named that, but never with the contens like that [03:53] g_0_0, it won't save my changes [03:54] ShapeShifter499, ok let me think about that [03:54] Roasted: Well I'm curious as to how it's writting the file link.. maybe it is now writting /home/roasted/Desktop/music/01-Hello_World.mp3 instead of 01-Hello_World.mp3 ? [03:54] * Sifo Hello all [03:54] Riobe, how are you going to install it? [03:55] Nitrohax: Probably do a live boot for a day or so to get the feel of it then reformat my machine and make it the only OS. [03:55] Diamondcite: you can make playlists of folder contents using ls, as well as the dir command in windows [03:55] ActionParsnip: I am mainly trying to figure out why Roasted's playlist is no longer working as desired. [03:56] Riobe, that will work but you can do a WUBI install and have a perm. and not change the file structure of your partition [03:56] Diamondcite: depends how the device reads and/or makes playlists [03:56] Diamondcite, the playlist works. rhythmbox just doesnt detect any music on the device. [03:56] Help me about Hybrid Graphics with switcheroo. I'm using acer aspire 5745G [03:56] Diamondcite, once I can get rhythmbox working as, you know, a normal music program, I can carry on with my playlist creations [03:56] Roasted: try this: cd /folder/of/songs; ls *.mp3 > ./playlist.m3u [03:56] Roasted: And the only requirement is to have to look else where for music? [03:56] ShapeShifter499, have you tried alsactl store again? [03:57] does anyone know why grep [A-Z] would return lines without caps even if there is no match? [03:57] Can someone help me with properly installing burg? I've got the first necessary sudo commands, adding the ppa, updating repositories, then installing from the new repository, but I don't know for sure where the master boot record is located so burg can install. [03:57] Nitrohax: I broke my filesystem into two partitions when I installed Windows, and I'd like to get back down to 1. I haven't heard of WIBI install yet, so I'm not sure if I can change partitioning with that kind of install. [03:57] Roasted: copy /folder/of/songs to the device then see if playlist.m3u exists/works [03:57] Diamondcite, if I can have a program that *works* and can make and create playlists, I'd be happy. But besides banshee, there are none I have found on linux. But! Banshee, when I create playulists, it doesnt "save" to the device. If I go to the sansa, banshee playlists come up empty. only rhythmbox playlists work. [03:57] Riobe, you wouldn't need to change it [03:57] Hence my insane frustration. [03:57] ActionParsnip, the playlist works... [03:57] ActionParsnip, my issue is getting rhythmbox to detect the music. [03:58] It says importing 0/0, when there are over a thousand songs on the thing. [03:58] Nitrohax: Methinks I should figure out what a WUBI install is. To scholar Gugle! [03:58] Roasted: i dont use rhythmnbox so I'm not much help here. I always manually make them using ls [03:58] I haven't folder call /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch [03:58] Thanks for giving me something to look up. :) [03:58] I haven't folder call /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch can I create? [03:59] Riobe, it's on the live cd already. if you put the live cd in it's on there. it's a way where ig you don't like it add/remove programs and it come off [03:59] HELP: How can I set pidgin to notify new message with gnome notification? any plugin ? [04:00] Roasted: Can you open the Sansa with a file manager and actually see the music? [04:00] MiladKhajavi: have you looked at the included plug ins? [04:00] whitefire: did you try "mkdir"? [04:00] Diamondcite, sure can. [04:00] MiladKhajavi: also don't sound so dramatic [04:00] Can somebody recommend a web-based/console download manager so I can manage download from remote? [04:00] Riobe, let me know what you find [04:00] Roasted: And Inside rythmbox, right click music, Import Folder, Navigating to the same place with the graphical navigation and then clicking import.. doesn't work? [04:00] Greets [04:01] mickster04: Yes, but dont like sound notification, I like gnome notification [04:01] Nitrohax: Thanks. Will do. :) [04:01] how work ubuntu wubi? [04:01] MiladKhajavi: there is the notify plugin which is enabled by default [04:01] MiladKhajavi: yeah I think there will be one include, if it isn;t on already [04:01] Diamondcite, nope. It doesnt even show anything in my device within rhythmbox [04:01] MiladKhajavi: activate libnotify plugin [04:01] work slow [04:01] i don't know why [04:01] pidgin rocks [04:02] wubi is simil virtualbox [04:02] ?? [04:02] xangua: Oh yes yes I forgotten the name of this plugin. thanks thanks alottttttt [04:02] g_0_0, oh.... sorry didn't see your post till now [04:02] Roasted: Can you please type the path you are using to reach it with in rythmbox here? [04:02] g_0_0, no I haven't [04:02] adamruffolo: mkdir: cannot create directory `/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo': Operation not permitted [04:02] juabn: No, wubi doesn't run in a virtual machine, you have to reboot into Ubuntu [04:02] whitefire: sudo it [04:02] whitefire: are you running as root? [04:02] I'm having a problem with this network install; I've got an old machine booting with pxe; The installer wont download files off of my lan server (I have the iso mounted in /ubuntu) ... in the install debug its because it can't access the md5 sums from a release site. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can complete this install? (Btw, no cd drive, won't boot off of USB) [04:02] yes [04:02] juabn: no. Virtualbox guests run inside a virtualized environment. Wubi installs run on the actual hardware, without a VM between them, but installs to a loopback filesystem instead of a normal partition. [04:02] Diamondcite, there is one thing that strikes me as odd. [04:02] whitefire: sudo !! to run the last ocmmand as sudo [04:03] juabn, kinda, wubi installs ubuntu on the windows partition. it has a boot loader and if you don't like it go to add/remove programs and remove it [04:03] anyone recommend a panel applet for managing volume that works with the base audio drivers and not pulseaudio? had to uninstall pulseaudio cause it distorts sound [04:03] mickster04: yes [04:03] Diamondcite, my sansa used to come up labeled as "SANSA FUZE". I formatted it within the sandisk interface, and now it comes mounted as 1234-5678. it creates a folder with those numbers. [04:03] Diamondcite, that's around the time my issues started. [04:03] ShapeShifter499, you could give it a go, see what happens, make sure you have the parameters set as you want them first [04:03] mickster04: bonsai@Aspire-5745G:~$ sudo mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo [04:03] I just created a simple Xubuntu bluebird like chrome theme (only the frame color was changed to match the color from the theme): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hedddjdackneeciinimepakidindpgdd [04:03] mkdir: cannot create directory `/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo': Operation not permitted [04:03] * Nitrohax is going to party with the amish [04:03] and is there a site to find more applets (ie a site specific to applets in general) [04:03] stupid file transfer vbox @#$%^&*(&^%$#@!%#$%^&*(&^%$#@ [04:03] Diamondcite, but if I go to gparted to try to rename the label of it, it says the disk is unallocated. Someone told me its sandisk's way of "protecting" the device. [04:03] Aikar: if you use a dock like avant window navigator, there are volume managers for that [04:03] whitefire: dod you tab complete that? [04:03] Nitrohax That makes more sense now. Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm looking to get out of using Windows at home. [04:04] hola [04:04] Nitrohax, So I'm sure that I want Windows nuked. [04:04] Roasted: Now why would you want to use a sandisk tool on something working to begin with >.> [04:04] i wanna install apache, php and mysql will this work? correctly ? sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-xsl php5-gd php-pear libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql [04:04] Hello does anyone here know how to install FlightGear on Ubuntu 10.10? [04:04] !lamp | scottnyc [04:04] scottnyc: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [04:04] Riobe, just incase you don't like it. but you want it nuked full install it, why partition. back your music and videos up thouhg. LOL [04:04] Diamondcite, I used the format tool because of another issue I was having with it. [04:04] Diamondcite, but then rhythmbox took a bomb after tha. [04:04] MichaelDeaton: its in the playdeb ppa [04:04] Diamondcite, I flahsed the thing to the latest firmware, etc. I just have no clue. I'm so close to buying a new one, but that's a ridiculous answer. [04:05] I tried installing it and it said, "flightgear: Depends: libalut0 (>=1.1.0-1) but it is not installable Depends: libopenscenegraph65 (>=2.8.3) but it is not installable Depends: libopenthreads13 (>=2.8.3) but it is not installable Depends: libplib1 (>=1.8.5-1) but it is not installable Depends: simgear2.0.0 but it is not going to be installed " [04:05] Roasted: Maybe that numbered partition is a ghost? Have you tried doing "ls /media/1234-5678" while it's mounted? [04:05] Nitrohax: Heheh, yeah, that I will be doing. I have a spare tower I can move stuff over to temporarily. [04:06] Diamondcite, when the thing is plugged in MCP mode or whatever it is, yes it has a directory there. [04:06] Riobe, use one of those all in one hd readers for usb. I have a ide and a sata hot swap port. But i fix to many computers [04:06] MichaelDeaton: then you need deb files or a reop with those files to satisfy deps [04:06] g_0_0, ok rebooting [04:06] But I dunno how to get them. [04:06] :C [04:06] do the ubuntu source repos contain unmodified source code or is it optimised for ubuntu spicifically? [04:06] MichaelDeaton: if you can pastebin all the text I can try and find deps for you [04:06] pastebin? [04:06] Roasted: Could you try various modes of access until one of them actually yields a fully listed direction inside a terminal? [04:06] !pastebin [04:06] 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. [04:07] MichaelDeaton: yes, copy all the text and use http://pastie.org to store them [04:07] Diamondcite, I'm not sure I understand what you just said. [04:07] sorry I just started using ubuntu about two days ago. [04:07] still getting use to it. [04:07] I like it a lot better than windows. [04:07] MichaelDeaton: pastebin isnt ubuntu specific [04:08] if SMART detects an hdd has a few bad sectors, it shouldnt ever try to write to them right? i just reinstalled my OS yesterday to fix my hard system freeze issue, now it just happened again :/ i noticed hdd i got ubuntu installed on has 17 bad sectors [04:08] Aikar: I'd get a new drive PDQ [04:08] well i got other drives i can put ubuntu on, but yeah dont wanna lose data [04:08] Aikar: if they aren't being reallocated then it's at the end of its useful life [04:08] whitefire: you may need to change the permissions on the /debug/ folder [04:08] http://pastie.org/1592199 [04:08] That? [04:08] Aikar: then you should have backups in place [04:09] Does anyone here know how ubuntu compares to Fedora as far as being suited for programming? The community seems to be a hell of a lot more active judging by IRC channels, but I don't know about the distro. [04:09] it says "reallocated sector count, value 17 sectors, threshold 36", smart is still listed as passed. [04:09] aikar, you have open sata ports? install on the new drive and then place in the old drive with a sata and move files that way === earthmeLon is now known as meLon [04:09] Riobe: its fine, there is the build-essential which will install c and c++ compiling environments [04:09] Riobe: if you're not doing ruby, i dont think it really matters. the ruby community hates debs though [04:09] Riobe: linux is pretty much linux. the diffrences will mostly be minor. === Ghost is now known as Guest10678 [04:10] i love ubuntu and i program in truby [04:10] I see. [04:10] i got enough room to get the files off really, but ANY bad sector = sign of disk failing? [04:10] how do i check the version of something in terminal again? verion --python right? [04:10] its a matter of "does it work with little fuss?" [04:10] Hellz_Bellz: i think its the directory into which gems get installed that annoys other rubyists [04:10] of yes use it [04:10] if [04:10] Aikar: ok if they are reallocated then it's fine [04:10] I don't mind a bit of fuss as long as it's manageable. [04:10] :/ should it matter so long as its in the path? [04:10] linux is linux, unix is linux with out the L and windows i sbs [04:10] Hellz_Bellz: i went with just adding that directory to my path, and then everything was happy and i thought they were silly [04:11] Aikar: if that 17 keeps growing while you use the disk part of it could be damaged, it might stabilize though [04:11] This? http://pastie.org/1592199 [04:11] whats the terminal command for checking the verssion of something? [04:11] maco i didnt even need to add it to the path actually it just gives the error somehow [04:12] everything just works [04:12] lol [04:12] MichaelDeaton: cool, gimme a sec [04:12] scottnyc: apt-cache show, or apt-cache policy [04:12] Alright. [04:12] Aikar, spinrite will move them for you if it can [04:12] Hellz_Bellz: ok then :) [04:12] well im having a weird damn issue. flash kept hard freezing system where REISUB couldnt even reboot the system, soi thougt maybe its cause i moved hdd with ubuntu on it to a new system entirely, although it mostly worked fine i reinstalled, and flash no longer crashes, but i just got a random freeze out of nowhere no flash this time [04:12] is the source code in the ubuntu repos ubuntu specific or can i use the repos for a different source based distro? [04:12] Hellz_Bellz: im not really a rubyist. i was installing diaspora on my server, which is not running the latest ubuntu [04:12] ohsix whats the one that looks like this version --python3 [04:12] Aikar: nvidia blob? [04:12] MichaelDeaton: what is the output of: lsb_release -d please [04:12] only real diff is that i uninstalled pulseaudio and rebooted then it happened [04:13] assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabrakatuh [04:13] ohsix: blob? was nvidia drivers before, i havent installed nvidia now, running on default. [04:13] Hellz_Bellz: you can run "dpkg -x foo.dsc" if you have a source package to break it back out into the tarballs it came from === QuBit is now known as Guest41248 [04:13] assuming i was checking the version of python 3 ohsix [04:13] Description: Ubuntu 10.10 [04:13] !sa | c1truz [04:13] c1truz: For the Saudi Arabia team : /join #ubuntu-sa : للانظمام الى قناة الفريق السعودي - For Arabic language support, please : /join #ubuntu-arabic : للحصول على الدعم باللغة العربية [04:13] Description: Ubuntu 10.10 [04:14] MichaelDeaton: do you have the universe repo enabled?

[04:41] coooooooool! [04:41] WOOO! [04:41] wia [04:41] wait* [04:41] Macstheyjustsuck, I haven't done a page in forever. I'm so out of the loop [04:41] if this is the support channel, where is the real channel? [04:41] PerfM: If you done being exited, how about tell us about your support question? [04:41] haha, figured out the curl command. [04:41] PerfM: /join #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat [04:42] esiri: if that doesn't work (website I directed you to) can you paste your grub file in www.pastebin.ubuntu.com [04:42] Nevermind. [04:42] rufdog http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Herunterfahren#HDA-High-Definition-Audio-abschalten i did that before :) [04:42] ruffdog okey [04:43] dorin_: try this page for info! http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html [04:43] ack a haxx!

[04:46] esiri: did the problem start when you changed the grub? or did you change the grub because of the problem? [04:47] ruffdog i did change grub for problem [04:48] esiri: okay. You are running on a laptop or desktop? You are running 10.10? [04:48] ruffdog i am used 10.04 lts and desktop [04:49] esiri: okay. Do you use wifi on the desktop?

[05:01] hi! my / on ubuntu 10.10 needs more space, but only disk utility is able to see the partitions on sdb. is there a stand alone bootable version of the disk utility? [05:02] my ubuntu is on sdb1 === adamruffolo is now known as ruffdog [05:03] nroy1: try: sudo apt-get clean [05:03] ActionParsnip: what is clean? [05:03] nroy1: also uninstall old unused kernels you no longer use. You can also free space by using bleachbit but watch the browser options or it will remove stuff you want to keep [05:04] nroy1: clean removes the debs used to install stuff was, they are held until you tell the OS to remove them [05:04] ActionParsnip: i want to reinstall ubuntu, which has run into some problems because of me removing stuff to gain space. [05:05] but i want to fix the partion table first, otherwise i won't be able to install ubuntu [05:06] nroy1: the reinstall will create a new table (unless you dual boot) [05:07] ActionParsnip: i have xp and solaris11 on sda, ubuntu on sdb === beachbraf is now known as beachbrake [05:08] there are some important drives on sdb, otherwise there wouldn't be much problem... :( [05:09] gparted is unable to see ANY partition on sdb. i have tried it from ubuntu, solaris and parted magic [05:09] the gnome disk util is seeing them fine, but i cant resize / from ubuntu itself [05:10] webkit [05:11] ruffdog i cant with comand stoped acpi sudo /etc/init.d/acpid stop [05:11] i wana help about webkit...so hw can i? [05:11] Using ubuntu server. php mail and sendmail both are sending mail out to yahoo accounts but for some reason not to my hosted gmail account. It isn't even showing up in my spam folder.

[05:13] i need change the root partition privilege to user [05:13] !xubuntu [05:13] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [05:14] nroy1: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"? [05:15] navin: Maybe here:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebKit [05:15] thanks guys :) [05:15] hi again [05:16] !GNOME [05:16] GNOME is the default !desktop environment on Ubuntu. To install it from Kubuntu or Xubuntu, type « sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop » in a !terminal. [05:16] is there a way i can make alt+tab work across workspaces and alt+ctrl+tab within workspaces? [05:16] Jordan_U: i am currently on xp. ubuntu is having some serious problems, cause i messed up some stuff. the thing is, the extended partition on sdb is showing insanely huge space even on windows. i just want to remove the linux partition now, and readjust the partitions [05:16] Will I break everything if I sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop? [05:17] I want to clone a 160GB HD to a 20GB HD and I can't use Clonezilla bc of the drive size difference (there is <10GB of data on the 160GB drive so it will all fit). Anyone know of other good options? Thanks. [05:17] nroy1: Can you boot from a liveCD? [05:17] Jordan_U: yes i can, but gparted isn't helping [05:18] gmachine_24: Can you shrink your partition down to be smaller than the destination drive? [05:18] gmachine_24: What is your end goal (why do you want to "clone" the drive)? [05:18] JeffCBR, good point. I can probably use a live distro and gparted and that should do it. [05:18] nroy1: parted itself gives descriptive error messages which should tell you exactly what is wrong with the partition table. [05:19] I mean I can shrink the partion(s) [05:19] We're talking about a Linux FS, right? [05:19] Jordan_U, I want to clone the drive so I can replace the 160GB drive with the 20GB drive. [05:20] JeffCBR: no, its a hollow metapackage. if you remove it it will change nothing [05:20] JeffCBR, if that is directed at me, yes, it is Ubuntu [05:20] Jordan_U: the entire sdb swows up as unpopulated in gparted [05:20] Ok then, nm. [05:20] nroy1: I understand. [05:20] esiri: okay. I'm stumped. You tried sudo /sbin/init 0 and that didn't work? [05:20] One time, I shrank the partition of an undefragmented Windows 98 install... [05:20] lol [05:21] ... and you never did that again [05:21] ActionParsnip: So, I'd still have Gnome installed, then? [05:21] gmachine_24: No. No, I did not. [05:21] hola.. tengo un problema alguien seria tan amable de darme una mano?? [05:21] So x server is broken - I was trying to set up dual displays, and now I can't even get the failsafe to boot -> no vesa driver found. How do I resolve this? :s [05:21] Question: is there a way for me to see how much hard drive space individual packages are taking up? [05:21] A friend of mine says the hardest lessons to learn in life are the ones we learn again and again [05:22] Lancelot, yes. [05:22] what does "ii" means here http://pastebin.com/hhgMc8WJ [05:22] ruffdog stumbed mean ? i did used sudo init 0 [05:22] gmachine_24, how do I go about doing that? [05:22] Lancelot, do you mean packages or install packages? [05:22] *installed [05:22] ruffdog let me try sudo /sbin/init 0 :) [05:22] esiri: When I say "stumped" I mean I'm uncertain of what to do. All of the things I mentioned should have worked. You tried to type "sudo /sbin/init 0" into your terminal and it didn't shut down? [05:23] gmachine_24, just packages in general...what's the difference? [05:23] question: I got too ambitious trying to strip away extraneous applications after installing the xfce desktop environment. now all I have is a command line when I boot into ubuntu. how do I get xfce back? [05:23] startx [05:24] albert: what's your question? You only typed "startx" [05:24] K, I'm using joomla and require the use of sendmail on a server who's email is actually hosted on gmail. some emails sent go to spam, some just don't get sent at all. is there perhaps a DNS record that I need to set up? [05:24] startx isn't a question [05:24] I have no question [05:24] it's the answer to andy_ 's problem [05:24] Lancelot, well a package is typically a *.deb file [05:24] Hi I am new to Linux world, I am a hardcore Window user, is ubuntu good to start with ? [05:25] !who | albert [05:25] albert: 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 :) [05:25] andy_: xubuntu-desktop should get you back to where you need to be. [05:25] Lancelot, you know, something you dl and install [05:25] gmachine_24, okay, makes sense, how about stuff I got through repositories? [05:25] g_0_0, still here? [05:25] I see [05:25] bastidraZor: many thanks. I'll try it. [05:25] After that, finding out how much an installed program occupies usually involves scoping out how big the install folder(s) is are. [05:25] I was trying to set up dual displays earlier and have managed to botch my ubuntu install entirely -- x will no longer start at all, and I can't get failsafe to load either (it crashes with an error saying no suitable driver found, and no vesa either). The best I get is a command prompt.. how do I get X back? [05:25] !tab [05:25] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:26] Lancelot, are you saying you've not done a sudo apt-get clean install command? ;) [05:26] ubottu: I was hoping for the soda. [05:26] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:26] Jordan_U: any ideas? is there a boot-cd version of the gnome disk utility? [05:26] gmachine_24, no.... what's that for? [05:26] Lancelot, to clean up the dl .deb files [05:26] esiri: did it work? [05:26] hi again [05:26] gmachine_24, you'll have to forgive me. I'm not too familiar with unix systems. I'm planning to spend time on it later [05:26] gmachine_24, isn't that what the computer janitor application does? [05:26] ruffdog did not work [05:27] :( [05:27] bastidraZor: what command do I run to get the desktop to start? Sorry, I'm a noob at the command line. [05:27] when I press ctrl-alt-f6, it should bring me to a new command line session login, right? [05:27] g_0_0, I seemed to have fixed my problem by putting the following command into startup applications ----> "alsactl init" [05:27] andy_: install the package then reboot [05:27] Murphant: "CTRL+ALT+F1 -> F6" are command lines. CTRL+ALT+F7 is the GUI. [05:27] Lancelot, packages dl via apt-get are placed in the /var/cache/apt/archives directory [05:27] nroy1: Palimpsest is included in recent Ubuntu LiveCDs, but I highly recommend figuring out what is wrong with your partition table before trying to modify it further. [05:27] g_0_0, this way it automatically sets up my sound and everything and I don't have to do anything [05:27] Murphant: That is, F1 through F6 [05:28] nroy1: If you don't you risk serious data loss. [05:28] esiri: Okay. I'm out of ideas. Poss another user here can help with your shutdown problems. Maybe ActionParsnip. You should repost your question. [05:28] hi [05:28] where is the network channel? [05:28] I have couple of network questions [05:28] Lancelot, and you must forgive me, I've been using Linux for more than a decade and there was no such thing as a computer janitor - although I have seen the icon in my system :D [05:28] rtz: #freenode === rtz is now known as Guest78293 [05:28] rtz: ##networking if memory serves [05:29] * unreturned hello world [05:29] it says i'm banned [05:29] lol [05:29] ruffdog thanks a lot for try help me :) [05:29] Hi all. I've been having trouble with an intermittent connection after configuring opendns. Any advice on how to diagnose the issues? [05:29] gmachine_24, I've been using ubuntu for a little over a year and a half now. I just haven't had the time to read up on the background stuff yet [05:29] Guest78293: ask in #freenode about bans [05:29] Lancelot, it's constant learning. [05:30] Guest78293: for ubuntu network I think "#ubuntu-network" === Guest78293 is now known as rtz1 [05:30] Constant learning forever. [05:30] I'm trying to get sudo burg-install to run and any designations for my drive that gparted list, as well as any of the alternate designations, like hd1, or hd0, give me /usr/sbin/burg-probe: error: cannot stat 'drivename#'. [05:30] gmachine_24, well that works, I'm trying to figure out how I managed to fill up my drive [05:30] esiri: Yes. Sorry I couldn't resolve it with you :( :( [05:30] gmachine_24, well almost [05:30] ok for the command line, but when I press it I just get pixelated colors at the top of the screen [05:30] g_0_0, idk why it won't save my audio setup, but if alsa all ready knows my system, it *should* for future references, and alsactl init *should* therefor work always [05:30] Lancelot, yes, that is one way. [05:30] Guest78293: scratch that. I was wrong. [05:30] I was trying to set up dual displays earlier and have managed to botch my ubuntu install entirely -- x will no longer start at all, and I can't get failsafe to load either (it crashes with an error saying no suitable driver found, and no vesa either). The best I get is a command prompt.. how do I get X back? I was googling for a fix and ruan an apt-get purge xserver-xorg and then apt-get install xserver-xorg ... which now lead [05:30] s me to the no driver found... :s [05:30] gmachine_24, so sudo apt-get clean install will delete these archived packages? [05:31] Lancelot, the ones in that archive, yes. [05:31] bastidraZor: thanks. I try this (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop), and I get a long list of "Failed to fetch" all kinds of things. The final message is: "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?" (that response shows up without quote marks). [05:31] ruffdog i did ask many forum my shutdown issue but cant correct yet, i will sent a report thanks again :) [05:31] Lancelot, these are debian packages [05:31] I'm thinking it's not a video driver issue since I'm working in CLI, could it be a monitor problem? [05:31] Jordan_U: honestly, there ARE some bad sectors in both the disks, but i have managed to keep those areas in the free (unpartitioned) zone. And it seems some drives have wrong info on start/end of sectors/cyllinders. I hope manually adjusting them via a good partition manager like disk-uti will fix it. but CAN i use disk utility via boot cd... it is not available on solaris. [05:31] andy_: what version of xubuntu are you using? [05:32] Lancelot, you probably have other packages or software dl that could still be in the compressed version if you did not delete the dl file after installation. [05:32] g_0_0, thanks for your help anyways [05:32] hi, I recently installed ubuntu server and I want to install an irc bot. I notice an user group called 'irc' in Ubuntu, what does it do may I ask? [05:32] gmachine_24, okay, so how do I deal with those then? [05:32] There is a program or utility that will list major files for you............ but it escapes me at the moment. [05:32] crlcan81: GRUB2 has theming capability as well. I highly recommend using that instead of BURG (which doesn't appear to be maintained anymore and when it was was a one man fork). [05:32] Lancelot, if you know where you dl them, you just rm them [05:33] ahh would have been nice for the websites to say that :( [05:33] gmachine_24, the disk usage analyzer? [05:33] you go to the directory and do sudo apt-get rm [05:33] bastidraZor. Good question. Checking... [05:33] Lancelot, I think that might be more of a global shapshot but give it a try. [05:33] gmachine_24: why is apt-get needed for folder removal?? [05:33] nroy1: Yes you can use palimpsest from an Ubuntu 10.10 liveCD. But please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" before you do so. [05:33] gmachine_24, it gave me a pretty pie chart [05:34] Lancelot, yeah, that's what I thought. [05:34] Lancelot, give me a second and I will look up the name of that utility. [05:34] gmachine_24, there's also a very detailed listing here [05:34] random question.. anyone know where i can get cheap office space.. Like $100/month? can be anywhere in the US [05:34] every single directory [05:34] esiri :/ [05:34] albert ? :) [05:34] BVB, you could try a cardboard box, but the rent is outrageous! [05:35] oh boy. rhythmbox acting up again. === cardamon is now known as cardamon{mobile} [05:35] I give up. [05:35] ActionParsnip, good question. It all depends really on the permissions the dl program/pgk has. [05:35] you can sudo gedit /etc/modules [05:35] Lancelot, does it list space occupied? [05:35] Jordan_U: ok, i"ll see you from the live cd in a min [05:35] !gksudo | Lancelot albert [05:35] add apm power_off=1 [05:35] Lancelot albert: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [05:35] I was trying to set up dual displays earlier and have managed to botch my ubuntu install entirely -- x will no longer start at all, and I can't get failsafe to load either (it crashes with an error saying no suitable driver found, and no vesa either). The best I get is a command prompt.. how do I get X back? I was googling for a fix and ruan an apt-get purge xserver-xorg and then apt-get install xserver-xorg ... which now lead [05:35] s me to the no driver found... :s What do I need to do to get Xserver back? [05:35] ActionParsnip i am used ubuntu 10.04 i have shutdown about that [05:35] hi [05:35] i have two ISP ie 10.10.10.1 (first gateway) 10.10.11.1 ( second gateway) and i have dhcp 192.168.1.1/24 for my clients... i want half of my clients (192.168.1.0/25) to go out thru 1st gateway and my second half (192.168.128/25) to go thru second gateway [05:35] gmachine_24, it lists each directory, and then a breakdown of the percentage of the current directory space, and it's actual size [05:35] albert u wanna see /etc/modules/? [05:35] ubuntu 10,.10 sry [05:36] does someone here can link me to a good usbcreator for windows ? (base os linux, target win2k) [05:36] this can help you shutdown [05:36] ActionParsnip, when you dl a debian package I believe it comes with permissions that only allow the su to ex, read, write, etc. [05:36] Jordan_U, let me give this a try [05:36] ActionParsnip, if you change the permissions to give users free reign, then you can probably remove the original file/package without using sudo [05:37] bastidraZor: "uname -r" returns "2.6.35-25 generic," but I don't think that's the xubuntu version, is it? [05:37] i have two ISP ie 10.10.10.1 (first gateway) 10.10.11.1 ( second gateway) and i have dhcp 192.168.1.1/24 for my clients... i want half of my clients (192.168.1.0/25) to go out thru 1st gateway and my second half (192.168.128/25) to go thru second gateway [05:37] lighta: So you want to install Windows? Have you tried the folks over at ##windows? [05:37] can someone help me ? [05:37] My question got drowned, sorry for the repost: When I press ctrl-alt-f1, I get a bunch of pixelated colors at the top of my screen instead of a readable, black-and-white prompt, any ideas why it is the case? [05:37] gmachine_24: yes, but apt-get isn't needed to rm a directory. [05:37] andy_: close enough, that would indicate you're using 10.10 .. did you try sudo apt-get update? [05:38] esiri you can try my way [05:38] yep i'm there also Starminn, reading some tutorial but if you had a good link I'd be pleased if you share it =) [05:38] thank you. for some reason ubuntu's repositories listed burg as newer then grub2 and better. [05:38] ActionParship, I was talking about removing a program file that had been downloaded and was then installed. If that was unclear, I apologize. [05:38] crlcan81: You're welcome. [05:38] albert http://paste.ubuntu.com/570401/ [05:38] Jordan_U, this is turning up much more stuff, thanks [05:38] Sorry for the repost, but I keep drowing :\ I was trying to set up dual displays earlier and have managed to botch my ubuntu install entirely -- x will no longer start at all, and I can't get failsafe to load either (it crashes with an error saying no suitable driver found, and no vesa either). The best I get is a command prompt.. how do I get X back? I was googling for a fix and ruan an apt-get purge xserver-xorg and then [05:38] apt-get install xserver-xorg ... which now leads me to the no driver found... :s What do I need to do to get Xserver back? [05:39] now gonna add my personal desktop walkpaper choices and a few other things. [05:39] lighta: No, unfortunately I have nothing to shed on the situation. Just making sure you asked in a Windows channel too as they'd likely know better than us. :) [05:39] albert i can try why not, [05:39] This is what I wrote: you go to the directory and do sudo apt-get rm ... the directory being where you dl the program file [05:40] ok^^ [05:40] Librarat, someone give Librarat the pastbin addy [05:40] bastidraZor: I did. It gives me a list of things it "failed to lock," then asks me if I'm root. Then I enter "sudo bash" to become root. But when I run apt-get update, I get another long list of "W: Failed to fetch etc." and ending with "W: some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead." [05:40] esiri add this line at the end of modules apm power_off=1 [05:40] gmachine_24, not sure what you're asking me for .. :s === dbland is now known as Forge [05:41] does anyone have an answer to my q? [05:41] esiri good lucky to you === Forge is now known as Guest72345 [05:41] albert i did try before add apm power_off=1 but stil same :) [05:41] Lancelot, I think you're on your way, right? [05:41] gmachine_24: apt-get has no "rm" option, nor does it perform a function like what you are explaining. [05:41] lighta: You have the .iso? [05:41] gmachine_24: so why not just: rm -r folder-or-filname-here [05:41] yes [05:42] esiri I am sorry === Guest72345 is now known as dbland [05:42] just need to know wich file to put to make it bootable [05:42] esiri I will go to school [05:42] lighta: Why not go to System->Administration->Startup Disk Creator and make it? I've never done it myself but try it out? [05:42] albert seems havent luck :) [05:42] Jordan_u, god, of course you're right. I'm sorry - my mind is trying doing too many things at once. [05:42] leave off the apt-get [05:42] gmachine_24: np :) [05:43] who has a lil knowledge about nat here ? [05:43] lighta: What do you mean "Which file to make it bootable"? [05:43] isn't this create only linux distri ? I never tryed but, yeah let's give a try =) [05:43] devine a little [05:43] !anyone | rtz1 [05:43] rtz1: 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? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [05:43] albert thanks good luck too :) [05:43] i have two ISP ie 10.10.10.1 (first gateway) 10.10.11.1 ( second gateway) and i have dhcp 192.168.1.1/24 for my clients... i want half of my clients (192.168.1.0/25) to go out thru 1st gateway and my second half (192.168.128/25) to go thru second gateway [05:43] I keep posting it lol :P [05:43] do u see my question? [05:44] well for usb you often need BOOT.ini folder and lots of thing like that, I wish I'd as easy as cd, but cd is dead.. and I don't have any lector so [05:44] gmachine_24, how can I suppliment my hep request? I know what pastebin is, but I'm not sure how it applies in my current situation. the vesa module cannot be found, and xorg is failing to start, even after dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:44] rtz1: Yes. And if anyone is around that can answer it they will. [05:44] ok, I meant DEFINE a little.... not 'devine a little' [05:44] andy_: have you made any changes to your /etc/apt/sources.list? it sounds as if you've borked them in some way. [05:44] lighta: I've always made my Linux CDs by just right-clicking on the .iso and hitting "Write to disc..." so I'd imagine you could (maybe) set the "disc" to your thumb drive? [05:45] gmachine_24, yup, that helped. thanks [05:45] lighta: I've never succeeding in botting from a USB, and I'm not sure if it's me or my somewhat-old system. *shrug* [05:45] Jordan_U, ty [05:45] !details [05:45] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [05:45] bastidraZor: I think that must be exactly what I (unintentionally) did. Any suggestions as to how to fix this? [05:45] I was at the ER yesterday morning at 3:30 because I couldn't breathe and so I'm kind of whacked out on meds.... perhaps I should give a big "caveat emptor" [05:45] yeah but linux usb are easier to create then windows in my opinion [05:45] andy_: paste your sources.list [05:46] If you spend enough time to really learn Linux - and I am not nearly there but am working on it - you will find it is truly amazing. [05:46] so.... many..... options [05:46] gmachine_24, I've heard. Well, thanks for the help. Cya [05:46] bastidraZor: how to generate that list? (Sorry, like I said: noob.) Also, key fact I didn't mention: it's on a different computer. [05:47] Has anyone had a go at setting up Android on a Ubuntu/Linux PC? [05:47] anyone know how to fix bind9 "update_resolv: not found" errors? [05:47] Lancelot, you're welcome [05:47] Hi I am new to Linux, a hardcore windows user, but wanna shift, which flavour is best ? [05:47] lighta: Well, all the links I can find are about creating a Windows-bootable USB *from* Windows (i.e. downloading programs, etc., etc. in typical Windows fashion). I'd just guess around. I can't help you much more (obviously) but I think you might be asking the wrong questions. ;) Try asking in this channel what Ubuntu programs can make a bootable USB and then ask the Windows channel what files it needs/what it should look like after [05:47] Learn the command line, Luke [05:48] Hi I am new to Linux, a hardcore windows user, but wanna shift, which flavour is best ? [05:48] Jordan_U: that's what I thought.. [05:48] !best | Andrew___ [05:48] Andrew___: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [05:48] Andrew_, chocolate [05:48] bastidraZor: maybe the simplest thing is to start over with my bootable Ubuntu 9.10 usb? [05:48] rtz1: I know how it works, if its specifically networking you want then there is ##networking which may help [05:49] andy_: http://pastebin.com/eNi1AMJ9 ..instead of 'lucid' yours should say 'maverick' compare your list [05:49] ActionParsnip: thnx buddy but they seem to be sleeping :) [05:49] rtz1: thats not about NAT, that's about DHCP [05:49] is lighta still there? [05:49] ActionParsnip: dhcp server is easy to setup .. i just need this nat rule [05:50] ActionParsnip: FYI it's mangle .. I need to mark packets as they go out so they know where to go out [05:50] gmachine_24: He hasn't parted the channel yet, it seems. He probably just hasn't checked back. He hasn't parted though. [05:50] Starminn, he just wants to make a bootable jump drive? [05:50] rtz1: you will need to setup 2 logical networks, one where one half of the network connects and one where the other half connects. Setup the dhcp service to distribute the right gateway to each then set the subnetworks to go through the single nat point to the web [05:50] hi all [05:50] I have a problem with shutdown , I'm running Ubuntu version 10.04 lts desktop ,When I try for shut down , all process done and last said power down but dont power off. [05:51] yeah, just 2s guys [05:51] esiri, are you using a shutdown command i.e. cli? or what [05:51] ActionParsnip: i wish u could explain it in cli :P [05:51] rtz1: I used mangle for shaping some time back [05:51] Is there a way to do a fresh ubuntu net install from the command line of an existing system? [05:51] esiri: try adding the boot option: acpi=force [05:51] Or am I required to burn a CD? [05:52] sacarlson: i used it with other things like routers OS MIkrotik or CISCO [05:52] somebody can helpme? I installed Elastix, but I don0t know which is the extension number to check voicemail [05:52] bastidraZor: I get "no such file or directory" [05:52] gmachine_24 i did used many comand about that sudo shutdown now power off init 0 ,, [05:52] andy_: when you do what? [05:52] rtz1: if you have 2 networks, one network can be routed through a different gateway to another, thereby splitting the network as you desire [05:52] baegle: There are multiple ways. All of them relatively advanced. [05:52] sorry - misunderstood your directions. Trying. [05:52] gmachine_24: He wants to make a bootable USB, but he wants to make it Windows-bootable. Problem is, he's using Ubuntu to make the USB and all the tutorials call for using Windows to make it, so he's trying to figure out how to do it from Ubuntu. (P.S. I think he's back now) [05:53] ok, yeah Starminn =( sound long maybe I'll ask a friend to make one for me instead. gmachine_24 you had something for me ? [05:53] ActionParsnip: I know but how can I do that from ubuntu ? i have two of my isps connected to my ubuntu box and 1 LAN for my clients and i want to split them thru different gateways [05:53] Jordan_U: I live in the CLI, but I'm not looking to recreate what the installer does. I'm looking to run the installer from the CLI [05:53] ActionParsnip: wat do i exactly do === tyler is now known as Guest7896 [05:53] beagle: Yes, but is easier to just repair it from boot, hen again I do not know why or the purpose for a net install on your setup. [05:53] esiri, yeah, sometimes when I use sudo shutdown -h now I end up with a screen where it says system has been halted... usually I just hit the off button at that point. [05:53] esiri: also make sure you have the latest bios for your system, there may be acpi fixes in the newer versions (if one exists) [05:53] ActionParsnip i did but stil same , and also i try adding acp=off noacpi nolapic acpi=off but stil same [05:54] rtz1: what I said, I have no idea what network hardware you have so cannot advise further [05:54] any time i type anything to do cpan this keeps coming up [05:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/570410/ [05:54] look [05:54] lighta, I have windows systems. if you tell me what you need I might be able to do it - the problem is transmitting the result...?? [05:54] how do i stop it [05:54] Secret1222: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:54] Jordan_U: here's the info you wanted: http://pastebin.com/M1bz2PEA [05:54] Starminn, thanks. :) [05:54] ActionParsnip: i don't see where u said it but .. i let u know I have everything connected .. i just need that firewall rule [05:54] baegle: Then you'll want to setup grub to boot the netinstaller. [05:54] gnewb: I'm just trying to save the DL and burn time [05:55] rtz1: oh i've done that too but using dhcp to tell 1/2 of my clients to use this gateway and the other 1/2 to use the other [05:55] Jordan_U: sweet, thanks [05:55] ActionParsnip: so it doesn't matter what kinnda hardware i have [05:55] i did [05:55] use pastebin.com [05:55] bastidraZor: I see the page to which you've directed me. How do I generate a source list from the terminal for comparison? [05:55] sacarlson: how'd u do that? [05:55] Hi all [05:55] HI [05:55] andy_: nano /etc/apt/sources.list ..this will open it without the ability to change it. [05:56] I am trying to setup a Samba Domain controller with LDAP backend. The version of Ubuntu is 10.04 and openldap version is 2.4.21. And i followed the document from the URL https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-ldap.html. The problem with my setup is I am not able to Join windows machines to the domain. [05:56] can someone tell me how to stop it [05:56] sacarlson: they idea is that they are 192.168.1.0/24 clients and i want them to be able to ping each other or share files while goin out to the internet thru different isps [05:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/570410/ [05:56] beagle: Here it is:> http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu [05:56] baegle: You're welcome. If you need more guidence than that feel free to ask. [05:56] any help would be really great [05:56] andy_: unless you're in the 'sudo bash' terminal. [05:56] sacarlson: i'll just use cisco to do thsi for me but i so wanted it to be on ubuntu [05:56] rtz1: I'll take it pm since it's not ubuntu related [05:56] ActionParsnip i dont check that yet but after upgrade with new kernel 2.6.32-28-generic or after installing s2-liplianin-dkms driver i have issues power off , i did back old kernel and remove s2-liplianin but stil same cant shut down [05:56] sacarlson: thnx [05:56] yeah gmachine_24, I sure have an ftp for storing file but I know usb need to be in fat32 to be recognize and idk what else it need. Otherwise i'm looking for an win2k usblive [05:56] is it possible to make alt+tab tab across workspaces? so can I switch functionality between alt+tab and ctrl+alt+tab? [05:56] how do i install cpan module from apt-get [05:57] how to i change listening port onskype [05:57] esiri: is the system a branded PC or laptop [05:57] Secret1222 thts what cpan is for, not apt [05:57] johnson81385 #samba might be able to help. [05:58] lighta? [05:58] you still here boy? [05:58] ActionParsnip desktop not branded [05:58] bastidraZor: thanks. Looks like the list starts "deb cdrom: [Ubuntu0netbook-Remix 9.10 _Karmic Koala_ - Release i386..." === adamruffolo is now known as ruffdog [05:58] nroy1: Ok, so it was just the fact that your hard drive has hardware problems that was creating issues for GParted. So while you should not trust this drive with any important data, it's probably no more dangerous to use palimpsest to modify partitions than it is to use the drive at all. [05:58] lights, sorry, should have put in the comma [05:58] damn. [05:59] bastidraZor: no, I have "no write permission" at the bottom of the screen [05:59] !guidelines [05:59] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [05:59] lighta, since I am a bit uncertain what you want, check this page http://bootdisk.com/pendrive.htm [05:59] ok gmachine_24 , hmm [05:59] and everything else at that web site [05:59] hello all [05:59] SO, I have ubuntu installed on sda5, and windows on sda1. grub2 is also on sda1, ubuntu10.10, clean install. grub2 will not boot into windows anymore, it just loads itself up every time [05:59] hai [05:59] any ldap guru here :P [05:59] we have some issue with it [06:00] andy_: it appears you have messed up your /etc/apt/sources.list :| mixing two versions of ubuntu. [06:00] mickster04: You accidentily installed grub to your windows partition. [06:00] Jordan_U: ok, but i'm still gonna need help adjusting the partitions. [06:00] Jordan_U: clearly [06:00] ActionParsnip sorry my english not well i mean i didnt buy present desktop . [06:00] Jordan_U: Not finding many up-to-date posts on the topic [06:00] bastidraZor: that makes sense, as I was using 10.10 before I screwed this up. Any suggestions for a fix? [06:00] Jordan_U: can I fix it without reinstalling windows [06:01] bastidraZor: and thanks for your generous help, btw. [06:01] mickster04 the !grub command can tell you how to restore grub [06:01] disk utility is seeing the primary partitions and the ext. part, but is not seeing the logical partitions inside the extended. [06:01] mickster04: In the future, never install grub to a partition, always to the mbr. To restore the windows bootloader follow this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector [06:01] DaGeek247: yeah, this is a aspecial case [06:01] Also, MS has image DLs available of its OSes - Apple heads use these along with VMWare to install Windows Apps on their precious MacBooks [06:01] andy_: what version did you install, did you upgrade your installed version to a new version, if so, how? [06:01] beagle: And here>: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CategoryInstallation [06:02] mickster04 special case? [06:02] here come the fireworks [06:02] DaGeek247: yeah, !grub won't help me [06:03] ok [06:03] hai RaNa! [06:03] bastidraZor: I started w/9.10, then installed upgrades as they became available through the software center. I ended up at 10.10. Then the other day, I thought I'd try xfce... [06:04] evilbug is your cdrom visible in bios [06:04] bastidraZor: and thus began my tale of woe. [06:04] Secret1222: do you know how to use the cpan shell? [06:04] * WhiteCrow1 hi all [06:04] mickster84: There is a System Rescue CD from a few places, I saw it on distro watch that could maybe help you. [06:05] andy_ So what is wrong, what do you expect to accomplish, and what is happening instead? (Just trying to make it easier for others to help) [06:06] !tyab | gnewb: [06:06] !tab [06:06] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:06] kibaya: why do you ask? [06:06] andy_ Oh sorry you are already being helped. Disregard that. :) [06:06] sryy' [06:06] Starminn: thanks - bastidraZor is on the case here. Thanks for your willingness to help out, though. [06:07] baegle: Dowload the netinstall kernel and initrd then add an entry like this: http://pastebin.com/wrugrf7r to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then run "sudo update-grub". Then if you reboot you should see the "Ubuntu netinstaller" entry in your grub menu and you can select it and install normally. [06:07] evilbug: may be it is visible set as the first boot devise but it is not active for booting [06:07] evilbug: which type of machine is it [06:08] kibaya: you must be confusing me, i haven't spoken about any problems. [06:08] andy_: the pastebin i gave you, your sources.list should mirror that .. 'lucid' in the pastebin should be 'maverick' in yours. after you confirm this do a: sudo apt-get update .. exit out of sudo bash and just use sudo .. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [06:08] Jordan_U: thank you [06:08] I tried setting up a PAE kernel -- upon GRUB boot it lists it as PAE, but it my machine still does not recognize the RAM it should be seeing. Any pointers? [06:08] mickster04: I saw a System Rescue CD on distro watch , but then again, there is nothing like a good backup routine. [06:08] baegle: You're welcome. [06:08] :'( [06:08] evilbug:sorry mistaken identity [06:08] harley@Harley:~$ wine /home/harley/GNAAender.exe [06:08] wine: Install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables [06:08] harley@Harley:~$ [06:08] how do i install it [06:08] Secret1222: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:08] kibaya: not a problem. [06:08] for wine [06:08] exit [06:09] My Desktop folder says 2.7GB free while GParted says 6.3GB Free how much exactly is the free space? [06:10] bastidraZor: I think I'm following you. So I should generate that sources list as root, alter the first line to read "maverick," then run sudo-apt-get update, then exit out of sudo bash and use sudo nano etc to see the new sources list? [06:10] c_nick: gparted says 6.3GB free for what partition? [06:11] c_nick: what does: df -h say? [06:11] c_nick: if your '/' and your '/home' folders are on different partitions, then the free space will be different [06:11] * ActionParsnip doesn't trust gui apps for stuff like that [06:12] andy_: sudo will make you do things as root. the first line does not matter since it is looking for a CD.. add a # before that line. the rest of the file is the concern [06:12] I tried setting up a PAE kernel -- upon GRUB boot it lists it as PAE (and boots successfully), but my machine still does not recognize the RAM it should be seeing. Any pointers? [06:13] i could really use some help regarding the readjusting of the partitions... :( [06:14] nroy1: Ask it again and see if anybody can help. Just say what you said earlier. [06:14] nroy1, you've been here before? [06:15] c_nick: does the df-h command make things clearer? [06:15] nroy1, I imagine everyone has already suggested gparted from a live boot disk? [06:15] df-h [06:15] oops. sorry. [06:15] Starminn: ok [06:15] I'm dumb. I am installing ubuntu server right now and I accidentally didn't install openssh. How do I go back and install it from CD? [06:16] gmachine_24: gparted is unable to seee the partitions on sdb. disk utility does [06:16] which disk utility? [06:17] i just want more space for a new ubuntu install. [06:17] ok [06:17] gmachine_24: gnome disk utility [06:17] bastidraZor: I am very sorry, but I think that I misled you accidentally. The first line in the source list has a # mark in front of it, which I guess marks it as a comment? The fifth line is: "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted" [06:17] nroy1, and what does gnome tell you? [06:18] bastidraZor: the first line preceded by a # is the one which mentions 9.10 [06:18] it is a gui partition manager, which shows all the primary partitions and the extended partition, but fails to see the logical partitions inside the extended partition. [06:19] gaelfx: ActionParsnip: sorry for not getting back to you earlier.. whats df -h ? gparted says 6.3 GB free for my main disk (disk of my concern) [06:20] c_nick: it's a terminal command [06:20] ok wait i will try that [06:20] c_nick: don't confuse disks with partitions [06:21] ActionParsnip: ok df -h gives /dev/sda1 as 2.7GB free [06:22] has anyone tried gparted boot off usb and found that it hangs on start up? [06:22] ActionParsnip: Gparted says for the same partition /dev/sad1 as 6.33GB free [06:22] nroy1 and you have tried the !df -h command? [06:23] nm I see that someone suggested that. [06:23] gmachine_24: bash: !df: event not found [06:23] is gparted iso and unetbootin not working? [06:24] I have manually installed the nvidia binary drivers from the .run file, how do I uninstall it now? [06:25] c_nick: i'd trust df personally, but thats me [06:25] ckserv identify cobalts [06:26] mobius2: You'll want to change that [06:26] if someone really wants to vandalize my tech supprt chat box they can have it :P [06:26] greetings channel [06:26] is there an alt for libopenal0a that anyone knows about? [06:26] i seem to get broken and garbled sound when playing my video games :) [06:27] nroy1, ok you need to leave the ! out of it [06:27] namely a game called astromenace [06:27] nroy1 but try this one fdisk -l /dev/xxx where xxx is your hd as in sda and you might have to be sudo to run it [06:27] ActionParsnip: ok I will go with that :) 2.7 worst case 6.33 best case :) [06:28] anyway it uses libopenal0a [06:28] just wondering about any alternatives [06:28] libopenal sounds dirty [06:28] gmachine_24: no response to the fdisk [06:28] yea it really does [06:29] nroy1, did you try to run it prefaced by "sudo" [06:29] ? [06:29] gmachine_24, is there anything better that I could use for sound on games with spatial 3d sound? [06:29] mobius2, dude, no idea. [06:29] gmachine_24: YES [06:29] nroy1 and you got no response? [06:29] as in none? [06:30] gmachine_24: yes. and sorry for caps [06:30] nroy1, np [06:30] sdfasd [06:30] nroy1, is your drive @ /dev/sda or what?

[06:48] sacarlson, ActionParsnip ok thx guys [06:48] can someone pastebin theos so he can post his fstab file please? [06:49] nroy1: No, I don't know how to resize partitions on failing drives. [06:49] nroy1, yes, I'm wondering the same thing - if you drive is failing. [06:49] *your [06:49] * c1truz istirahat [06:49] mazeltov [06:49] Jordan_U: just for the time being... until i get a new drive [06:49] If i restart my machine i have to re-setup my ati under System>Pref>Ati Catalyst center to setup the resolution, EVERY time i restart. Kind of getting tired of this why can't it just stay on the resolution i set. [06:50] nroy1, I would spend my time making sure I had everything backed up. Which I'm sure you do. :) [06:50] JeffCBR: acpi -t [06:50] what kind of hardware would work on ubuntu for controlling 12 LCD Monitors as multimonitor ? [06:51] gmachine_24: i will, when i have a new large-enough drive [06:51] josefig: a motherboard with a tonne of pci express slots [06:51] Jordan_U: nope [06:51] nroy1, yeah, I know. it's a pain. [06:51] Jordan_U: sorry wrong nick [06:51] ActionParsnip: haha [06:51] I bought a slew of 1T drives a month or two ago and now they are small [06:52] I was reading this article: http://www.junauza.com/2010/12/50-monitor-setup-powered-by-25-node.html [06:53] so, no way to move, resize partitions? [06:53] can anyone tell me what file I need to install to provide a Synchronize on Ubuntu One option? I have the application installed and an account set up.... [06:53] I saw a computer a guy built to back up all his TIVO recordings ... and it was a special case with like 8 hard drives stacked.... one atop the other... this guy seriously needed a life [06:53] twitch: Thanks. :D [06:53] josefig: wow .. that would get a bit warm though [06:53] nroy1, not on a failing drive. [06:53] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, by the way [06:53] JeffCBR: nps [06:54] nroy1, do what I do. Take a hammer and electric drill to it. [06:54] twitch: yes, I want to do something like that :) [06:55] hello [06:55] well, my disk actually has some important stuff, otherwise i would not be wasting my time here. === arvind_k is now known as arvind_khadri [06:57] gmachine_24: I think gparted might have also worked in nroy1's case [06:57] or livecd [06:57] sacarlson, he tried gparted [06:57] Whats the best way to convert .ape to .flac? [06:58] gmachine_24: oh didn't read back that far [06:58] nroy1, I suppose you don't have access to ontrack tools [06:58] sacarlson, yeah, some disk utilities won't read the partitions, etc. on his drive [06:58] gmachine_24: s/he left [06:58] sacarlson ok thanks [06:59] I am suing ubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Laptops. I am noticeing since last 15 days that, In a single day at 4-5 times my wifi connection goes down and system hangs, then i have to hard reboot. What would be the problem ? [06:59] I've had to use Ontrack in the past. It takes FOR freakin ever ... but it does pull off your data [06:59] you're suing them? [06:59] oh. using. nm. [06:59] Jordan_U: Net Install is failing on disk partition. It's failing on handling the swap partition for some reason [06:59] sth wrong with my iptux,i can't open it for the 2nd time.is there somebody can fix it. [07:00] dubey: instead, restart the x server, if you are able [07:00] baegle: Can you get to a terminal and run "swapoff -a"? [07:00] dubey: also test your ram using memtest in your grub menu [07:00] !info shntool | cbilljones [07:00] cbilljones: shntool (source: shntool): multi-purpose tool for manipulating and analyzing WAV files.

[07:01] cbilljones: install it then use shnconv -h [07:01] twitch ok thanks [07:01] how can install xemacs on ubuntu [07:01] ActionParsnip: I haven't tried that [07:01] dubey: I've only seen that when ndiswraper is used [07:01] dubey: didn't think so [07:01] Jordan_U: Didn't seem to help, though. the attempt to mount failed [07:02] ActionParsnip: I have to try this next time [07:02] baegle: When are you seeing an error about mount failing? [07:02] dubey: i'd test your ram too [07:02] Jordan_U: During the disk partition step during install [07:02] screen is flipping out... [07:02] scottnyc: sudo apt-get install? [07:02] or putty is... [07:02] ActionParsnip: Using memtest ? Can i test mem during running system ? [07:03] how to boot with modeset=1? [07:03] dubey: no, hold shift at boot, before grub shows. You will then see the grub menu and you can choose memtest [07:03] twitch would "shnconv -o flac *.ape" do all files? === THEBRODOZER|WORK is now known as am0nrahx|work === am0nrahx|work is now known as THEBRODOZER|WORK [07:04] scottnyc: or software centre, or go to the wbsite and look for instructions [07:04] !info xemacs21 | scottnyc [07:04] scottnyc: xemacs21 (source: xemacs21): highly customizable text editor.

[07:04] ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks i will try both next time when system hang, and update you [07:05] dubey: enjoy :) [07:05] cbilljones: don't know mate, give it a go but make sure you have back ups .. it might compile it all into one output [07:05] twitch ok will do thanks [07:05] ok thx gor it [07:06] :( [07:06] I killed screen somehow. === NinjaJeff is now known as JeffCBR [07:07] baegle: Can you take a picture of the error as well as the partition setup screen? [07:08] ok, once again, I set up the Ubuntu One service in Ubuntu 10.10, and am even paying for the streaming service...problem being, there's nothing to stream, because I've never been able to discover the secret to UPLOADING anything to the cloud..... [07:08] !ubuntuone [07:08] Ubuntu One is a service where you can back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users - For more see https://one.ubuntu.com/ support and help available at #ubuntuone [07:09] Geoffrey2: see above...does that help? [07:09] Jordan_U: not really, I'm going to try from the top and see what happens [07:09] I tried to enable CPU Temp in byobu, and it broke. [07:10] Jordan_U: taking it from the top appears to have resolved the issue for some reason [07:10] Jordan_U: Thanks for being available to assist [07:10] baegle: You're welcome. [07:10] ok everyone. have a good night. [07:10] not really, because the site assumes it just works....if it doesn't, you're left scratching your head as to why it isn't.... [07:11] If i restart my machine i have to re-setup my ati under System>Pref>Ati Catalyst center to setup the resolution, EVERY time i restart. Kind of getting tired of this why can't it just stay on the resolution i set. [07:12] Blou_Aap: because the driver probably doesn't do xrandre [07:12] -e [07:12] Geoffrey2: what's not working? and how do you know it isn't [07:12] NinjaJeff: hurm check logs i guess and check if there is a current bug on it [07:12] Geoffrey2: also /join #ubuntuone [07:12] ohsix, xrandre ? [07:13] mickster04, is someone actually alive in there tonight? the several times I've been in there, it's been a room of lurkers, period.... [07:13] Blou_Aap: xrandr, type xrandr --query in a console and see if you get any output [07:13] Geoffrey2: iunno [07:14] Geoffrey2: have you actually asked a question with an appropriate amount of detail, "it doesn't work" isn't really detail, what have you tried, what didn't work etc [07:14] mickster04, supposedly when I right click on the Music folder, I should get an option to synchronize the folder, I get no such option... [07:15] ohsix, http://openetherpad.org/dhmj6ngilM [07:15] Geoffrey2: i assume you have rebooted? [07:15] Geoffrey2: is the service started? [07:15] hundreds of times.....trust me, this has been ongoing for...months [07:15] Blou_Aap: try the Monitors applet in the preferences to set the resolution [07:15] Geoffrey2: are there right-click options on the ubuntuone logo that give clues away etc? [07:16] Geoffrey2: alternatively dropbox [07:16] definately dropbox :) [07:16] in gksudo mode ? [07:16] Blou_Aap: no ... it's a user setting [07:17] it gives me the correct resolutions atm [07:17] but you say i must try next time it's not set correctly ? [07:18] xorg.conf the resolution is also set correctly thats why I don't understand why I have to set the resolution after every restart [07:18] how can i mount a ext3 filesystem as rw for a user? [07:18] Any had any luck in synching iPod Touch 4.1 in Ubuntu? I can see the iPod within Rythmbox, and apparently I can drag/drop mp3s, but they do not sppear o nmy iPod [07:18] Blou_Aap: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8146023&postcount=2 [07:19] Blou_Aap: wrong person sry [07:19] lolz [07:19] Blou_Aap: because if you're not using the regular applet that actually purports to do that, you're doing something else [07:19] Geoffrey2: give this a try http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8146023&postcount=2 [07:19] i was like what had that to do with the price of eggs ^_^ [07:19] allright peeps i need to remove the enrypted disk stuff from my /home its broen and its cauing auisance [07:20] Eryn_1983_FL: indeed, it seems to be blocking different keys on your keyboard at different times [07:20] lol [07:20] funny funny [07:20] ohsix, it's 2 monitors with different resolutions [07:20] Blou_Aap: have a look at your ~/.config/monitors.xml [07:20] I never had this problem with nvidia card before only with ati it seems [07:20] ...

[07:38] !ask | Chu [07:38] Chu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [07:38] !ot | vadimkiselev [07:38] vadimkiselev: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:38] thanks [07:39] Okay. Hello, I'm having problems upgrading from Lucid to Maverick. I've copied the required files and compressed them for analyses. Could someone help me? [07:39] Chu: Define problems. [07:40] Chu: What method are you using for upgrading? [07:40] chu=troll [07:40] I'm using the same method: update manager. I'm unable to Upgrade [07:40] If you'd like, I could send in the files [07:40] Chu what does it say when you try to upgrade? [07:41] !troll [07:41] "An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." [07:42] I've even tried removing every package not provided by Ubuntu, and yet no luck [07:42] is it possible to use the hash symbol '#' inside a config file as part of a value rather than the start of a comment? [07:42] lanks: It depends on the syntax of the config file. [07:43] lanks: for that, use \# [07:43] lanks: yes, it depends what program is parsing the config file [07:43] lanks: that escapes the hash and you can use it as part of a value/key [07:43] Would you like to see the log files? The error asked me to copy them just in case [07:43] ok thanks [07:43] Lanks: I'd say not. The guys in #bash may know different [07:43] Chu: if you pastebin them, sure [07:44] Um, I have no idea what pastebin is [07:44] ActionParsnip: It's certainly possible in bash.

[07:44] ITM! [07:45] Jordan_U: apparently so. Personally I wouldn't and stick to the KISS ideology [07:45] Here you go [07:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/570443/ [07:46] That's from Main.log [07:46] lanks: they're preserved in here documents, and they're documented in the man page [07:49] Chu: well, I'll tell you how I upgraded. I just used a LiveUSB and installed over my old '/' partition and mounted the same '/home' without formating it [07:50] Chu: of course, with that method, you have to reinstall anything special you might have had, but that probably won't be an issue for you [07:50] gaelfx: I see. I don't mind reinstalling the software, but unfortunately It'll take ages for me to redownload the ISO. I was hoping for an upgrade method. [07:51] Chu: you can make sure nothing is pinned, purge any ppa's then look for conflicts in what's left [07:51] I don't know what I did to my GPG signatures, but whenever I try to reload to check for updated packages, or when I add new package sources and reload for them, I get a GPG error: http://mirrors.cavecreek.net maverick Release: The following signatures were invalid: NODATA 1 NODATA 2GPG as well as six or eight other GPG errors. [07:51] Chu: even with bittorrent? [07:52] Chu: It usually takes more bandwidth to upgrade than to download the latest iso and re-install. [07:52] that message is what you get when the upgrader can't find a solution with the dependencies [07:52] Ah, how do I do that? I have disabled Ubuntu Tweak from the software center, but I don't know what else [07:52] in synaptic it gives me those errors via gui, in terminal it just says there's errors you may need to update your.. [07:52] Software sources* [07:53] how do I fix that though? it didn't happen until after I added a more learning focused Ubuntu tweaker. [07:53] Didn't actually change any of the gpgs or software sources other then adding to. [07:53] gaelfx: Even Torrents wouldn't help. It says it'll take over 2 hours. I'm downloading via direct method, since it'd be faster. [07:54] I guess we have different ideas about what "ages" means [07:54] Hate when I screw things up. [07:54] hi everyone. bought a new pc, came with windows 7................ trying to get to the bios screen (hp laptop) to enable the cd drive to boot first so i can install ubuntu, it doesnt even give me text saying press f10 or anything to enter bios mode just goes straight to loading windows. any idea how i can get around this so i can install ubuntu already :/ [07:55] crlcan81: have you tried disabling all the ppa's or whatever? Maybe if you write them down and re-add them, things will be ok [07:55] you know how many of those I have..? [07:55] Tweaky: from boot keep spaming f12 or del [07:56] Tweaky: if theres no bios you can try holding C, or pressing f9; it depends on the bios what brings up the menu, hitting escape just after it boots might show the actual boot screen and key combos too [07:56] Tweaky: if you google for your particular model, you should be able to find out which key to press to get into the BIOS on startup, then make sure you change the settings to display the POST screen in the future === Inumedia_ is now known as Inumedia [07:56] crlcan81: you know how easy it is for those to screw up your GPG signatures? [07:56] Chu: if your packages are weird, try the large command block I suggested here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/146348 [07:57] Tweaky: try F11 [07:58] crlcan81: please see above [07:58] Chu: sorry bad tab [07:58] Does 10.4 have the ability to mount USB drives formatted as exFAT? [07:58] I hate how Windows 7 notebooks are all preconfigured to keep you from knowing the BIOS exists. I want UEFI dagnabits [07:58] which part of above? [07:58] your command block part? [07:59] crlcan81: he was talking to someone else [07:59] crlcan81: yes [07:59] i have tried every key i cannot get to the bios.... question: if i format the hard drive will this give me access? [07:59] Ah [07:59] Tweaky: Try ESC key [07:59] Tweaky: no. What model is your computer? [08:00] hp pavillion dv5-2129wm [08:00] gaelfx: UEFI can be just as bad, in fact in my experience [U]EFI implementations have been more annoying than BIOS ones far more often than not. <3 OpenFirmware though. [08:00] i have tried escape, all f keys, and del, during startup [08:00] Hey all. Can someone give me some advice about a network connectivity issue? [08:00] Tweaky: as long as Cd is a boot option, yes. I suggest you find your manual to see which button you need [08:01] Jason1: ask away [08:01] Tweaky: that machine should have the insyde uefi bios, f9 for boot menu, f10 for bios; hitting escape at first splash will show the boot messages [08:01] Jordan_U: this is probably true, but at least with UEFI, there is some hope of it growing in any way [08:01] what [08:01] Morning, somebody know where is the error or this query?? [08:01] ssh -i /home/ubuntu/.ssh/booster_aws.pem ubuntu@REMOTE_MACHINE mysql -uweb -pweb -e "PURGE BINARY LOGS BEFORE '2011-02-18 13:23';" [08:02] what's bin/bzip2/ returned 'Error Code 2' mean? [08:02] ActionParsnip: thanks man. Someone else on another channel just jumped in. [08:02] if i execute that query local in the machine works\ [08:02] well, returned an error code (2) actually [08:02] ohsix : i just want to access the bios screen so i can change to cd drive as first boot to install ubuntu >< [08:02] osmosis_paul: surely aski [08:02] but when i try remotely does not works [08:03] ActionParsnip, what? [08:03] Ng in #sql would be wiser, osmosis_paul [08:03] because I did what was listed in the text block, and still got the same error. [08:03] the mysql sentence works if i use in the local machine [08:03] but if i use as a ssh command dont, so the problem is ssh [08:04] It's not that the GPG key isn't available, it's that it doesn't exist, anymore. [08:04] osmosis_paul: do you have ssh keys setup? [08:05] ActionParsnip, yes, i can connect by ssh, the most funny thing is that the response is the command option of mysql like if i dont execute correctly the command [08:05] but as i told you if execute that command without the ssh stuffs in the local machine works [08:05] is wierd [08:06] osmosis_paul: have you asked in #ssh too (or a channel for ssh) [08:07] ActionParsnip, dont know that exist thanks! [08:07] osmosis_paul: its worth a try === eugene is now known as Guest6983 [08:09] Tweaky: There should eb a manual here that tells you how to get into BIOS: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=101&contentType=SupportManual&docIndexId=64255&prodSeriesId=4210545&prodTypeId=321957#4 [08:09] apologies about the spammy link folks [08:09] thank you [08:09] please lodge any complaints with the good folks at HP [08:10] lol yeah [08:10] Yeah hp don't make pretty urls [08:10] or.ly?

Have to restart or at least put the computer to sleep. [08:13] Tweaky: looks like you need to hold the ESC key as you turn the laptop on [08:13] gaelfx : ok, will try [08:15] ok is any one else having trouble with nividia-current? [08:16] i guess the issue is that its totally skipping the post screen [08:16] !details | kisuke [08:17] kisuke: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [08:17] Well it's corrected on the 'can't recognize' part, but now software sources and the rest says I have duplicate entries. How do I remove copies of the same software sources? [08:18] Hi guys [08:18] Tweaky: well, there really ought to be a way around that though, I had a lot of trouble with my netbook at first, but eventually I got it [08:18] crlcan81: 'Software Sources' under Administration [08:18] mickster04: im tring to be, its not cooperating. [08:18] crlcan81: oops, or in Synaptic Package Manager [08:19] Is it possible to extract XML from PDF, like Adobe [08:19] crlcan81: in Synaptic, it's Settings -> Repositories [08:20] I have no idea why they chose to hide Software Sources in 10.10 [08:20] gaelfx: yeah i need to figure out how to get the post screen up so i can edit the bios since it doesnt try to auto boot from cd.. i cant stand this windows garbage! lol [08:20] Witch part though? in Ubuntu software tab, other software, updates? [08:21] ok let me phrase that, has any one tried to install nvidia-current and gotten a dmesg full of "NVRM:rm_init_adapter(0) failed"? [08:21] kisuke: you didn't tell us anything about your problem [08:21] kisuke: better [08:21] crlcan81: "Other" [08:21] mickster04: i had to dig out a keyboard to drop to a shell [08:22] hi all! i am not able to connect to my wireless modem after i restarted my system. can i get some help? :) [08:22] all the extra ppas are disabled, only things active are conical and independent third party. [08:22] theos: have you turned it on? [08:23] mickster04, yes its turned on [08:23] crlcan81: you might also check under "Authentication" to see if it has any keys duped [08:23] theos: my point is we need more details, what have you tried doing [08:23] once I let sudo apt-get update run. [08:23] to double check [08:24] mickster04, ok. dmesg shows "[ 890.920773] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready" [08:24] theos: good , now see if anyone can help [08:25] wait and see* [08:25] theos: could you pastebin 'ifconfig' or 'iwconfig' [08:25] the network manager applet is not searching for wireless networks this time :/ [08:25] gaelfx, do you need the wlan0 part of both? or whole? [08:25] theos: pastebin "lspci -v" [08:26] theos: just wlan is fine, but whatever's easiest [08:26] as far as I can tell, no, no duped keys. [08:26] ok i will pastbin it . just a moment :) [08:27] crlcan81: then I have no idea what it's talking about when it says you have dupes :P [08:27] exactly.. [08:27] sorry, wish I were more helpful [08:27] that's alright, I think I DO know what it is, but no clue HOW it happened. [08:31] * gaelfx lulls [08:32] wow, did i just fall off the end of the planet [08:32] mickster04: ? [08:32] if you did, you'd probably end up where I am [08:32] it just went really quiet [08:32] mickster04: that sometimes happens [08:33] twitch, gaelfx http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FwruN3Ts [08:34] theos: what ubuntu are you running? [08:34] the network manager applet is also missing most of the time. i have to put my laptop to sleep to get it back [08:34] thank you everyone who tried to help me, i think i will just take the pc into a shop and pay them to install it then it will be fine. thank you all very much for trying [08:35] which program work with .in files? [08:35] twitch, its lucid (10.04) [08:35] theos: did you try just adding it back to the panel by right-click and Add to panel...? [08:35] gaelfx, i couldnt find it there. so cant add :( [08:35] Tweaky: apologies about not figuring it out! [08:35] any one help me in cross compile of webkit for arm [08:35] ? [08:36] gaelfx : thank you! [08:36] theos: oh, that's my bad :P [08:36] moritz:will you solve the error of cross compile [08:36] I didn't check that before I said it [08:36] theos: uname -a [08:36] :( [08:37] twitch, Linux illusionist 2.6.32-25-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Sat Oct 16 19:48:22 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux [08:37] does it show that i messed up with the kernel before restarting? :D [08:38] theos: you said it worked before, right? [08:38] yes. perfectly well :) [08:38] theos: i have the same chipset as you in a lappy i dont use ... either get maverick or update kernel though external drives etc usb etc [08:38] hi, is there anyway someone can create interference on wifi bands? 2.4 GHZ [08:38] theos: you could try installing backports-compat-wireless package? [08:39] ok thanks twitch . i just wanted to find the reason why it doesnt work just after 1 restart. i didnt change anything [08:39] denayviawutmi: really big magnets? [08:39] theos: I suspect it's a network manager thing. maybe try wicd [08:39] oh lemme try thanks :) [08:39] denayviawutmi: some wireless telephones, and some ham equiptment [08:40] gaelfx: will it affect 5GHZ bands too? i have came to the conclusion that my connection was due to the band [08:40] make: Leaving directory `/home/navin/WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/WebCore' [08:40] Failed to generate WebCore's derived sources! [08:40] get the error when cross compile for arm [08:40] any sol plz? [08:40] denayviawutmi: sorry, that was meant as something of a joke. I don't really know [08:40] theos: also is your network encrypted? from this it would apear not [08:40] hello, guys [08:40] anyone understatnds bind9 and dns? [08:40] boota2:hi [08:41] sacarlson, no. its not encrypted. it used to work 30 mins ago. i restarted the system and it cant find any wireless devices now :( [08:41] boota2:what u want to ask about dns? [08:41] kisuke: i have replace an old router 2.4GHZ with a new dualband one.. when it was 2.4 same problems arose... when i use 5GHZ no slow network.. even if 5GHZ signals suck alot.. [08:41] the network manager applet says "device not managed" does that help? [08:42] !ot | boota2 [08:42] boota2: #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! [08:42] theos: well as we see in iwconfig and ifconfig they are seen, I assume you mean wlan0 [08:42] what's the command to scan wireless in terminal? [08:42] navin: i want you to ask me about it. i've got job interview about it today [08:42] !ot | boota2 [08:43] kisuke: thats why i say someone might be messing w/my wifi 2.4GHZ connection and would like to know how can one do it.. i have googled and googled with not much luck [08:43] theos: the other funny thing is that wlan0 already has an ip address maybe you configured static or manualy in /etc/network/interfaces ? [08:43] boota2:for that google is always for u [08:43] navin: it's not the same, and you do understand it. anyways, already google in parallel [08:44] sacarlson, hehe. yeah i only did "ifconfig wlan0 up" :D [08:44] *i already [08:44] Belea:do u hav any idea about cross compile [08:44] ? [08:44] No. [08:44] navin, try #gcc [08:44] navin: i am not sure that is entirely ubuntu related either [08:45] mickster64: i am doing cross compilation...do u hav any idea about it [08:46] theos: u pastebin it yet? [08:46] theos: sry u did .. ok gimme a min [08:46] twitch, sorry. what should i pastebin? [08:47] it used to show "default" before in the network connections. then connected to default. pppoeconf would find the modem then and connection was easy [08:47] theos: sry doing a few atm :P .. like i said prolly install maverick instead of lucid [08:48] could someone please tell me how I can attempt to reinstall the folder sharing program and service on ubuntu 10.10? [08:48] I'm currently getting the following error: [08:48] 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot create tmp file /var/lib/samba/usershares/:tmpX907JI [08:49] navin: i'm pretty sure thats not ubuntu support [08:49] twitch, i wanted to stick to the lts. maveric must be good too. i just found it funny that just 1 restart can mess with the system :) [08:49] navin: like Lint suggesteded #gcc or find an arm dev channe;l [08:50] Finally figured out the problem. At least it was a learning experience. [08:50] Hello. I have a machine with 2 NICs with UFW enabled.

[08:59] Priyank, then open the folders/partitions in ubuntu and match the data. you know which drive has which data. [09:00] gaelfx, It's not that "common" of an option, though it ought to be [09:00] someonelikeme: via wifi or bluetooth?
