[00:00] I need to install it a different way [00:00] xtrac: then ask in ##windows for Windows installer issues [00:00] anyone can think of another way? [00:00] P=( [00:00] xtrac: You've saddled a dead horse. [00:00] windows is such a piece of garbage [00:00] ubuntu had no problems [00:00] installing [00:00] IRChatter: What do you need sudo for? [00:00] xtrac: i've installed mine by setting setup up through a virtual machine [00:01] xtrac: then your issue is with windows which isn't supported here. There is ##windows [00:01] I'm trying to watch the shuttles progress, but one of nasa's sites says I need the Jave Runtime Environment installed. I have this, but it's the open jkd 6 runtime, not the one right from sun. What'd I miss? [00:01] ActionParsnip: blacklisting floppy and nouveau worked! I'm going to reboot and test if I still need to blacklist nouveau though [00:01] Raiscan: worth a try [00:01] Raiscan: once you get the proprietary driver installed you will be ok (asuming your chip is supported) [00:02] ActionParsnip I really am not having an issue with windows [00:02] geirha: I couldn't get it to work, so I assumed I need it? [00:02] ed_moulton: sun's jdk is in the partner repository, which isn't enabled by default. [00:02] I want to install windows onto a second drive using ubuntu [00:02] doing it throug ubuntu some how [00:02] I know there is a way [00:02] its just figuring out how [00:02] xtrac: there isn't, apart from virtual machine [00:02] Hey guys, I got a problem. Some how I broke my linux install. I used it has a 'server' for making websites locally. I hvae backup of my projects files. But I can't find my 'databases' is there a place that it is stored. like phpmyadmin saving them so I can copy it to my flash drive before resinstall...? [00:02] I have a virtual machine [00:03] vmware player [00:03] on ubuntu [00:03] i've spent whole night figuring it out once :x [00:03] xtrac: dude, EASE UP on the enter key [00:03] ubuntu__, you have to mysqldump them first [00:03] can you use xp installed in a vm and copy it to a disk? [00:03] i've never used it, but if you can mount physical drive in it, it should work [00:03] IRChatter: Such assumptions will get you in trouble later. The problem is, cron expects five fields to describe which times the command should run, you only provided four, so it has no idea what to do. [00:03] http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/maverickbleed?dist=maverick cool [00:03] ed_moulton, so with me not doing that i lost my database? [00:04] I can't access the install I'm on live cd right now. [00:04] I can already run windows xp in a vm DaZ [00:04] xtrac: install it in a vm, execute setup from cd within windows and you'll find option to copy whole install disc to hdd [00:04] xtrac: i'd ask in vmware about that sort of thing, you can do a V2P but I'm not sure of the steps [00:04] and set it up on your second drive, reboot, press enter, profit. [00:04] ubuntu__, you can't mount up the installed version to /mnt and then chroot /mnt ? [00:04] IRChatter: man 5 crontab [00:04] im running ubuntu 10.10 and cannot get fglrx to work with my ati radeon hd card. Keeps throwing a 'transport sync flood' error on boot. I have go in thru rescue and remove the xorg.conf so i can run it standard (crappy) resolution mode. Anyone know a workaround? [00:05] ed_moulton, yes, i can still access the files, it just don't boot [00:05] DaZ I Thing i know what you mean [00:05] I need to somehow have my physical drive in the vm machine? [00:05] yes. [00:05] my second hardrive [00:05] okay ill try that [00:05] thanks [00:05] ubuntu__, No, I mean boot up to the cd, mount your installed version to /mnt and then chroot to /mnt. I believe that will work, but you might have to install mysql on the livecd's instance first.

I had this problem before, but have forgotten how to fix it. [00:07] ubunuts* [00:07] Raiscan: ok cool, you can add them in the installed OS in /etc/default/grub but the nouveau driver wont get a look in if you install the nvidia driver [00:07] IRChatter: Though, with crontab -e, it's five time fields followed by the command to run. in /etc/crontab, it's 5 time fields, followed by username, followed by the command to run. [00:07] Raiscan: but you will need to blacklist the floppy module [00:08] ed_moulton, I'm on live cd, I have installed mounted (I think i understand you there) I'm still new to the indept part of linux. Meaning I have live cd up, and access to the files. [00:08] IRChatter: Your initial paste didn't have the 0 ... [00:08] ubuntu__, where is the hard drive mounted up? [00:08] sudo chown -R pk ~/ i did thid but all the directories which were previously owned by other users are now owned by pk and are empty [00:09] but i want their dATA [00:09] Has anyone else been reading this? Is what I'm telling ubuntu__ going to work? [00:09] How stable is natty these days? [00:09] ActionParsnip: okay. When's the best point to do this? right after installation? [00:09] rrichrdsr3: Best answered in #ubuntu+1 :) [00:09] Raiscan: after install you will need to do the same again to get a desktop, you can then add the boot options in the file and get updated [00:10] ed_moulton, it has a bunch of numbers and letters [00:10] Starminn: wasnt aware of that channel, thanks ;) [00:10] ubuntu__, type mount and see where it is [00:10] rrichardsr3: Not a problem. ;) It's completely dedicated to pre-release versions of Ubuntu (so in this case Natty). Have fun. [00:11] geirha: Thanks, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. I suppose I'll look online further. [00:11] ActionParsnip: okay.

[00:22] if you want have sound both in your headphones and in your speakers always at the same time (yes, a bug) install the mp3 codecs. my temporal solution? reinstall all related alsa and pulse packages. after some days of use, the problem returns jeje. permanent solution? use vlc instead of default players. [00:22] geirha: I have the gnome schedule and I tested it there. Perhaps I'll just set it to 1 minute and see the results. Thanks for everything, but I have to go.

It was working in 10.04. Any ideas? [00:29] grandmaster: depends on what you like [00:29] how can I disable the right click on the desktop [00:30] grandmaster: if you like flashy graphics and 3d effects, it's pretty nice [00:30] i vaguely remember, that if the desktop comes unresponsive due to a process taking up all the resources, that there was some kind of killswitch, to force dropping to a commandline, so that one can kill the processes freezing the system. (i am not talking about kill) [00:30] it's all glitter and very little meat, imo [00:30] cchildress: what model? 1000(h)?

[00:32] MagicJ: yeah. but that is not the one i mean. sometimes a system becomes so unresponsive that even dropping to a shell via alt+f2 does not work anymore. there is some kind of special key combination that has higher priority than anything else running on the system. i also remember that this feature is normally disabled in ubuntu. anybody still with me?

If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [00:36] ardchoille: that looks good. but wasn't there a similar magic command, that does reboot the system, but only gives me a shell with the highest process priority? [00:36] ActionParsnip, that didn't help [00:36] Jonii^: I believe you just press ESC when asked for the combiniation [00:36] ActionParsnip, didn't work [00:36] ardchoille: edit: that does NOT reboot the system [00:37] Oh, backspace [00:37] Jonii^: I believe it says in the dialogue [00:37] It did [00:37] elementz: Ah, sorry, it's Alt and SysRq [00:37] Okay so "Install alongside other operating systems" won't let me pick what disk to put the boot sector, but I'm not sure quite how to allocate space for manual partitioning [00:38] Jonii^: all good now?

[00:39] Jonii^: not intuitive? [00:39] Raiscan: It should handle that. As far as manual partitioning, why isn't the automatic one good enough? [00:40] Hello, is there anybody here that would be able to answer a audio question? [00:40] ActionParsnip, right-click + selecting "empty this shortcut" would be even more intuitive [00:40] But Ubuntu doesn't seem to use right-click menu that often [00:40] !ask | Brumagem [00:40] Brumagem: 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).

[00:42] Who's Mark Shuttleworth? [00:42] !sabdfl | Jonii^ [00:42] Jonii^: Mark "sabdfl" Shuttleworth is our favourite cosmonaut, the founder of Canonical and the primary driver behind Ubuntu. You can find pieces of his thinking at http://www.markshuttleworth.com [00:42] Raiscan: Oh. Alright, so in manual partition you need to make one partition as ext4 for the filesystem and another as "Swap" for your virtual ram (in WIndows-speak) [00:42] I still hear sound out of the speakers and headphones. [00:42] Jonii^: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth [00:42] !sabdfl | Jonii^ [00:42] Starminn: yeah, but I always wonder if I should be splitting out /boot and /home onto different partitions [00:43] Brumagem: you need an option on your sound driver module, is the system a branded pc or laptop? [00:43] Toshiba... [00:43] Raiscan: I've never had to do boot. The boot sector goes in the MBR (Master Boot Record) of the Hard Drive -- not a partition. You can make a partition for /home if you like, yes. [00:43] Cosmonaut founded Canonical? Like, someone who flew in space thanks to Russian government? === airtonix_ is now known as airtonix [00:43] Ubuntu detects the proper hardware though. [00:43] Brumagem: model? Toshiba make a LOT of systems.... [00:43] Jonii^: Everybody knnows that was a cover-up. ;) [00:44] Brumagem: yes but you need an option to make the headphone jack work properly [00:44] Satellite L655 [00:44] Starminn: I thought ubuntu puts vmlinuz in the /boot directory [00:44] I am confuse [00:45] Brumagem: run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and add the line: options snd-hda-intel model=auto save the new file, close gedit and reboot to test [00:45] But I guess the guys who got into space were quite awesome, so no wonder if they did something great besides flying hundreds of kilometers above us [00:45] Jonii^: yes [00:45] I will try that. [00:45] Thanks. [00:45] Brumagem: if that's no good. try: options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad [00:45] Jonii^: he got rich from selling a company, and used the money to go to space and start Canonical [00:46] Raiscan: Going over my head now. ;) For just a casual install I can help but if you're asking things like I'm not the one to talk to. I'm about to head out anyway. [00:46] Brumagem: seems the thinkpad is the one you need [00:46] Starminn: no worries, I'll just have an ext4 / and swap. Thanks! [00:47] Oh, wait, he wasn't cosmonaut but a space tourist? [00:47] Raiscan: Alright. Keep in mind that it formats it in MB I believe. So you need to make an ext4, and make the mount point "/" (root), then the swap, well, 2GB is a safe bet. (You can always move your /home to a separate partition later if you decide you need to) [00:48] Jonii^: Why not both? [00:48] I've picked about 4GB for swap. I like to multitask :D [00:48] probably a waste, but oh well [00:48] Rasican: How much RAM do you have? [00:48] 4GB [00:49] Raiscan: then 4Gb is the ideal amount :) [00:49] excellent [00:49] Starminn, usually cosmonaut(or astronaut or taikonaut) refers to a professional pilot-like space traveler [00:49] Raiscan: it will allow you to hibernate if you desire [00:49] ActionParsnip: I thought I remembered hibernate writing ram to swap [00:50] but couldn't remember. Lucky me :) [00:52] How about the enviroment? Canonical clearly does not care much for enviromental protection. The amount of Ubuntu CDs they have dumped in the past is unacceptable. They have reached AOL quantities. [00:52] so I know in windows, my wlan card uses ralink drivers, but beyond that I don't know the chip used. it doesn't seem to be working out-of-the-box, so what solutions do I have?

[01:12] arand: Thanks! [01:12] I have the various options, like Ubuntu with , recovery mode, memtest, etc [01:12] Raiscan: If you press e at one of the alternative [01:13] Raiscan: Then add that option at the same place "splash"C and "quiet" goes [01:13] yeah I can't work out where to put nouveau.blacklist=1 anywhere in the very long line [01:13] oh I see [01:14] thanks [01:14] ActionParsnip, i found a page with soem information and i ran a command and it gave me [01:14] Raiscan: If you want it permanently you'd edit /etc/default/grub to include that in addition to "quiet splash" [01:14] xrandr --output VGA --auto --left-of LVDS [01:14] xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default [01:14] warning: output VGA not found; ignoring [01:14] OchoZero9: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[01:24] josephnexus, what type of device? [01:24] just a bluetooth device [01:24] but I think I can just make a script that runs hcitool [01:24] and then grep the results [01:24] and if grep returns anything, it can do it's thing [01:24] hello all [01:24] hi there! [01:25] that'd probably work [01:25] and then I can have cron run it every 5 mintues or whatever [01:25] Unable to sync iPad. It's syncs with rythmbox but the songs don't show in iPad [01:26] Alright, I'm not that great with linux, but my work needs me to set up a PXE boot server. I'm following this guide - http://www.techienote.com/2010/11/pxe-boot-server-on-ubuntu.html - and am already stuck on the second command. The file /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd doesn't exist.

[01:33] Does anybody know why it is that when I plug my headphones into the jack I hear sound out of both the headphones and the speakers on the laptop? [01:34] openbees: asp isn't a language [01:34] hi all. [01:34] Brumagen that sounds kind of interesting.... [01:35] I know shouldn't this be a hardware thing not a software thing? [01:35] brumagem, it sounds like hardware. [01:36] jacks have a switch in them that cuts off the speaker when you insert the plug. [01:36] if it's not wired right, no cutoff. [01:36] Well the Ubuntu does detect the proper hardware when I look at it using the sys info. tool. [01:36] I'd like a suggestion for a program that will create a bootable USB with Ubuntu witn persistance from XP . I have tied Universal USB Installer but I get an error when trying to boot. I have tried Unetbootin but it doesn't install persastance. [01:37] See it works fine in Windows 7, though, I have them installed side to side. [01:37] brugamen, if there is something preventing the plug from going all the way in, that could do it. [01:38] hello, does anyone know what I need to do to my smb.conf file to prevent samba from prompting me for a password? [01:38] Well, I will tell ya that, that is not it because the audio works fine in Windows 7. [01:39] When I plug the headphones into the jack while running Windows 7 the sound cuts off to the headphones as it should.

[02:06] aikar: Try sudo apt-get install pulseaudio? [02:06] BiPolah: i had that fine, i was looking for indicator-sound but i found it now :) [02:06] Oh [02:06] went over dpkg log files for when i removed pulseaudio [02:07] Aikar: Indicator applet is it not? [02:07] yeah but the sound portion is a specific install [02:07] which doesnt get auto reinstalled with pulse [02:07] Well, I think I'm about to give up on the whole Ubuntu 10.10, PowerMac G5, nVidia thing. It doesn't work for me ... I can't get it to set the video mode to 1280x1024 and if I specify neuveau.modeset=0 at the yaboot prompt, I get what looks like nasty 8-bit color shifted graphics. Anyone know how to fix this before I toss the CDs into the shredder? [02:07] pidgin sounds have a weird fuzzy sound to it under pulse tho :( [02:08] jrib: Alright, in the rescue environment grub-install had no compalints, but on reboot it just brings me to a "grub>" prompt, nothing more. [02:08] i wonder if now i switched my sound settings to support new hardware/speaker setup if i can uninstall pulse now lol [02:08] sskyles: go for 10.04 then. it appears to have better nvidia results [02:08] gimpy4682: did you do apt-get install grub? if so thats what you did wrong [02:08] need to use the already installed grub on the livecd [02:09] is there a hotkey to scroll up in a terminal? [02:09] grub-install blah works [02:09] napalmx: shift pgup === jack_ is now known as JackWat [02:09] thanks [02:09] ok pulseaudio has to go, its not just pidgin [02:09] napalmx: - [02:09] Aikar: Nope, from the server CD I went into the rescue environment, mounted my real root, started a root shell in that root, then did a "grub-install --root-directory=/ /dev/sde" [02:09] all sound pops >< === JackWat is now known as jack_ [02:09] gimpy4682: thats the problem [02:09] so i apt-get autoremove python'd [02:09] gimpy4682: your suppose to do --root-directory=/media// [02:10] and now my system is completely broken [02:10] un italiana? [02:10] <^Phantom^> sudo hdparm --drg-hsm-error [02:10] <^Phantom^> gah [02:10] gimpy4682: you just pointed grub to the livecd lol [02:10] any suggestions or which basic packages to restore? [02:10] <^Phantom^> dang alt+tab fail [02:10] bastidraZor: downloading 10.04 now... Do you know if this will eventually be fixed in 10.10? [02:10] Aikar: I'll tyr it, but it doesn't make sense why this would be so picky "file are here, drive is there, go install yourself", why would it need more than that? [02:10] <^Phantom^> that was meant for terminal sorry [02:10] gimpy4682: you just told it to install grub for the CD file system, not your disk file system [02:11] gotta do root-directory to the mounted file system [02:11] Aikar: In the rescue enviroment, doesn't it chroot when you tell it to go into your real root? [02:11] sshc: i have no idea. from the beginning i've heard poor nvidia support in 10.10. for me 10.04 does a superb job with nvidia [02:11] gimpy4682: did you type chroot? i didnt do any of that when i had to restore [02:12] bastidraZor: yeah they pulled nvidia legacy support out of 10.10 [02:12] i simply mounted drive, then grub-install /media/blah/ and it was done [02:12] grub-install --root-directory=/media/blah* [02:13] Hahaha.... "Legacy..." [02:13] can anyone tell me why i'm getting python errors for email utils when they are clearly there? [02:13] and i dont get the same errors on a different pc?

[02:19] gimpy4682: are you repairing a server install or deskop install? [02:19] Aikar: If Iselect my real root then tell it to start a shell in my real root, it DOES make / --> /dev/mapper/vg-whatev-lv-whatev which is my real root. So --root-directory=/ is correct. [02:19] Aikar: Server [02:20] Aikar: Ididn't see a way to configure LVM in the desktop version, so I went with server and I'll install a GUI later. [02:20] gimpy4682: can you mount into live cd and just do mount /dev/blah /media/blah then grub install /media/blah ? [02:20] Aikar: Already tried it, it just spits out the error I posted earlier. [02:20] i havent used server yet but thats how i repaired my desktop grub [02:21] what error i think it was before i joined [02:21] err 'started watching' [02:21] Aikar: "Wrong number of args: mapdevfs " [02:21] Aikar: It actually clears the screen, the prints that and goes back to a root prompt.

Nope, hardware, brand new. [02:23] can noone help me figure out why mkv files are broke? [02:23] Aikar Server is a ehadless ubuntu with a text-based installer and less packages instaklled by default.

[02:23] the video appears blocky and corrupt [02:23] hi folks [02:24] gimpy4682: different packages, lamp can be installed by default for example [02:24] it doesnt matter what i use to play them - mplayer, vlc, totem [02:24] neodemi: maybe they downloaded wrong? [02:24] Ubuntu 10.04 ..Brasero will not open it only flashes to the panel [02:24] checked the filehashes and they are ok [02:25] Neodemi: Are the files corrupt? Do you have the correct software to play back matroskas? [02:25] neodemi: have you updated everything? [02:25] neodemi: Only mkvs do that? Are you running decent video (e.g. nvidia) drivers? [02:25] Is there a way to choose to install a desktop while I'm installing 10.10 server? [02:25] running nvidia drivers, and have no problems with codecs for any other format [02:25] johnfg: After install, do: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [02:26] gimpy4682, So, definitely have to do after? [02:27] gimpy4682, Will that be gnome? Or is there a choice? [02:27] johnfg: you can get all the different ones, but i wouldn't recommend bothering, you 'd be better off installing ubuntu and then installing lamp if you need a GUI [02:27] johnfg: gnome by default, there should be a virtual package for kde of kubuntu too. [02:28] mickster04: but no LVM in the desktop installer's custom hard drive section. [02:29] mickster04, Ubuntu 10.04 ..Brasero will not open it only flashes to the panel [02:30] Hi Ubuntu.

[03:45] install this [03:45] http://gtk-apps.org/content/show.php/Gnome+Menu+Extended+%28Debian+Package%29?content=73515 [03:46] this is for get all gnome aplications 1 one submenu [03:46] when u are in kde [03:46] http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/K+Menu+Gnome+%28Debian+Package%29?content=31031&PHPSESSID=39c71268b399effce8c57dbf8ff09e16 [03:46] then install this [03:46] BiPolah: an example [03:46] for get all kde aplications in submenu when u are in gnome [03:47] after u installed those packages for order kde and gnome apps [03:47] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:47] to install kde [03:47] OchoZero9: and if you find this on linux let me know http://www.multi-monitors.com/SUPER_PC_Multiple_Monitor_Walls_Multi_screen_Video_Wall_s/5197.htm [03:47] i think if u want to install gnome again [03:47] must be ubuntu-desktop [03:48] !enter | aleiex [03:48] aleiex: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:48] Anyone able to help me with my new laptop touchpad scroll not functioning? [03:48] Bastidrazor: If you were have panels for both GNOME and KDE, would they not conflict, or at least be redundant? [03:48] whats the best way to scan a drive for duplicate files? [03:48] aleiex: I am confused because I am using gnome right now, but still it is not installed as per the Synaptic. [03:49] finally if you want to remove kde an get "virgin gnome" [03:49] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome.php [03:49] myk_robinson: I'll try ...I'm assuming you recently installed Maverick ? [03:49] varsha_jk maybe u need to restart to watch if gnome still installed [03:49] coraxx: yes. New laptop [03:50] aleiex: ok then, I'll restart. Hope it is still there. [03:50] myk_robinson: did the problem occur after the main installation ...or was it after your updated the software packages ? [03:50] coraxx: in Windows, it is identified as an Alsp touchpad, but in Ubuntu, it is identified as a PS2 Generic Mouse [03:50] aleiex: I'll be right back. [03:50] coraxx: problem is present after a clean install with no updates run [03:50] I ran updates and he problem persists [03:51] aleiex, thanks very much. from a horrid newb -_- [03:51] intok: fslint (GUI) or fdupes (CLI) [03:51] BiPolah: the panel is gnome-panel in gnome and i'm not sure in kde.. unless you have gnome-panel run in kde then you no issues. if you do have gnome-panel run in kde it would use the same configuration [03:51] myk_robinson: can I plz get the full vendor and model number for the laptop :-) ? [03:51] Intok: Try Kleansweep [03:51] coraxx: Absolutely, thank you It is a Gateway ID49C07u [03:52] Bastidrazor: If you were to run both of them at the same time and they were in the same place, would they not appear over one another or next to each other? [03:52] !best | intok [03:52] intok: 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. [03:52] BiPolah: i have not tried that but i would suspect it would try to. [03:52] HI, i want to install ubuntu10.10 but show some acpi error [03:53] i set acpi=off and check try ubuntu [03:53] iS THERE any software in Ubuntu that lets you send text messages to a cel phone? [03:53] and iot works [03:53] Bastidrazor: that's what I mean by conflicting then. You couldn't run them both fully side by side, you'd have to have some bits from one and other bits from the other [03:53] but if i install it with acpi=off its ok or not? [03:53] Computor janitor is basically apt-get autoremove, right? [03:53] Osmodivs: It takes no special software to send text to a cell phone. It's no different than sending any other email. [03:53] aleiex: hi, I am back. Gnome still intact. [03:53] BiPolah: if you're using kde why would you use gnome-panel? the bottom taskbar in kde does everything that the top bar in gnome-panel does.. [03:54] aleiex: I guess worst case at shutdown you will have to force the computer to turn off instead of the software turn off method [03:54] myk_robinson: damn...I'm having trouble finding a webpage ...but on this page is the solution ...with involves adding to lines to a terminal...and it should be fixed. A nice guy published a fix in his PPA on launchpad [03:54] BiPolah: top and bottom panel.. for that matter [03:54] bc81 BiPolah thanks, need to remove the dupe mp3s, have some up to 4 times over after merging all the cruft from my old comps to a 1.5Tb drive.... [03:54] myk_robinson: hang on...I'll look [03:54] coraxx: i think i may have downloaed that, a synaptics dkms? [03:54] BiPolah: "It also suggests configuration changes that might benefit you." [03:54] haven't rebooted yet [03:54] terry: Well, I am no sending a message to a Blackberry or iPhone, I am sending it to a NOKIA 1100 - those with a green and black displays - [03:55] i see some black bars in my screen resolution 1024 or 800...but not when i use 1200 my laptop is widescreen anyone can teach me to stretch the 4:3 resolution (1024x768)?? [03:55] aleiex: I have had systems that way that I had to halt them and wait for the system to be halted then hold the power switch to turn them off [03:55] myk_robinson: fra a PPA ? [03:55] D= [03:55] Bastidrazor: I'm just saying they would conflict if you were using both, as you were saying that it's possible to use them together. [03:55] myk_robinson: *fra=from [03:55] i don't like this netbook [03:55] How wold I go about setting a cron process to periodically remove the trash? What I have thus far fails to work :*/1 * * * * rm -rf /home/.local/share/Trash/* [03:55] i will never buy intel [03:55] coraxx: i got it from a discussion on a launchpad page, post 115 if i recall [03:55] coraxx: didn't add a ppa to synaptic though [03:55] Aleiex: Please avoid fanboyism. [03:55] intok: be sure to compare files by size and name (in case there are song with the same title/file name etc) [03:56] aleiex: gaelfx: thanks so much. I have a job interview today, and got worried this wouldn't get off my head, is something goes wrong. Thanks. [03:56] if* ^ [03:56] Intok: You may have some files in higher quality which you'll obviously want over the lower quality ones [03:56] myk_robinson: ok...caus' the fix I remember involving installing a packages with the fix. [03:56] Osmodivs: Here's how it works: ###-###-####@tmomail.net or ###-###-####@vtext.com or ###-###-####@mobile.mycingular.com etc. etc. etc. [03:56] BiPolah: you can install both kde and gnome on the same box and not have issues. which enviroment you use matters.. at login you would choose kde or gnome.. then how everything runs accordingly. they would not conflict unless you tried to be weird liek you're suggesting [03:57] ok new info on my deadfreeze, this time it switched to the ubuntu startup screen with the 4 dots instead the split second before hard lock. any suggestions based on that? [03:57] coraxx: this may be the one, then. the file i downloaded and installed is synaptics-dkms_1.0.0_all.deb [03:57] coraxx: gonna be here a minute? I will reboot and maybe everything will magically be fine. If so, then this is officially the best laptop I have owned. [03:57] Aikar: It froze with the loading dots up? What have you changed since last time? [03:57] myk_robinson: are you sure your touchpad model is a 'synaptics' ? [03:58] myk_robinson: ok then ... I'll cross my fingers :-) [03:58] coraxx: its an ALPS, but all documentation regarding ALPS that I have found also says that a synaptics driver works for many [03:58] bastidraZor: I wouldn't be so sure. [03:59] sacarlson, that's pretty sick [03:59] terry, Well, it's because I downloaded SIM-IM from synaptic, and there is this SMS option where you have to set up the port for conection, but there is no way to change the blank empty Port box [03:59] created and started ubuntu 10.10 VM from newest VirtualBox have only fully working pendrive installbut am offered only the DVD drive how to work this around [03:59] terry: why would you use gnome-panel when the taskbar in kde does it all? [03:59] coraxx: I'm open to suggestions. I have been googling for an hour, and there are so many varied responses. Didnt just want to blindly try everything I read, especially when many fixes refer to files that no longer exists since xorg.conf was done away with [03:59] OchoZero9: is sick a good thing? [03:59] yes [03:59] bastidraZor: I don't know [04:00] OchoZero9: oh maybe slick [04:00] myk_robinson: I looking at a video, where I know the speaker will refer to this fix ...hang on [04:00] coraxx: be right back. [04:00] coraxx: in that case i will stay put [04:00] terry: which i guess explains why you aren't sure. [04:00] a lot of overpriced things here [04:01] 809: Are you talking about Apple? [04:01] How wold I go about setting a cron process to periodically remove the trash? [04:01] Osmodivs: I have not idea about SIM-IM. Is it in the repos? [04:01] OchoZero9: well I would think you could combine multi X11 servers together into a single host proxy that would direct them all to display something like this [04:01] http://www.multi-monitors.com/product_p/ivu9.htm a 400$ computer can do this [04:01] terry: Yes [04:01] Osmodivs, no but apple is overpriced too [04:01] ipod4g would be the onlything they priced right [04:02] Osmodivs: Why would you need it in the first place, (is what I do not understand). [04:02] terry: well, it would be just easier to send SMS thru my PC than a cel phone [04:02] IRCsome: youcan use grsync, add "rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/expunged/* ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* ~.local/share/Trash/info/*" or simply "~.local/share/Trash/*" [04:03] sacarlson, in theory one cheap video card can do this [04:03] terry, That way I do nto take my hands out of the keyboard [04:03] Osmodivs: Did you not read what I just told you? [04:03] since it is not 9 times 1080p but 1080p divided by 9 [04:03] IRCsome: last command, correction : "~/.local/share/Trash/" (forgot the slash) [04:03] nevermind, i read wrong [04:03] you'd need 5 video cards [04:03] OchoZero9: well I have all these old computers and monitors around here it would be cool If I could combine them to be something usefull for free not $400 [04:03] Osmodivs: What mail client do you use? Or do you use one? If not, what web-based mail server do you use? [04:04] that $400 you already spent [04:04] your computer(s) [04:04] terry: I dont want to send e-mails, i want to send text messages (SMS) to a cel phone [04:04] Osmodivs: Surely what ever you use has contacts or addressbook capability. Right? [04:04] OchoZero9: ya but now they collect dust [04:04] IRCsome: sorry again, not grsync..i was speaking in another channel about that :S [04:04] * bc81 needs some sleepy time [04:05] i want to do this on the cheap [04:05] myk_robinson: sorry ..could see the rep. on the ...reboot see what happens ...hope for an update....or search some more on google....I guess that my only sorry advice for now [04:05] bc81: Yeah, I was question why I'd need gsync :| [04:05] Osmodivs: It takes no special software to send text to a cell phone. It's no different than sending any other email. [04:05] 1080p 21.5 screens are about 120$ [04:05] myk_robinson: *could = couldn't [04:05] terry, Well, some of those old NOKIA 1100... well, i'll try sending one from Hotmail [04:05] Osmodivs: SMS is no different than email. (Is there any other way to say it?) [04:05] coraxx: hey, i just appreciate someone talking with me sometimes. I will reboot and report back shortly [04:06] OchoZero9: I already have two monitors on my desk and use what I showed you, I would also like to try make them combined as in this case [04:06] myk_robinson: ok ...let me know if it gets fixed :-) [04:06] Hi, how do you remove the password complexity requirements? [04:06] Ares: On what? [04:06] BiPolah: for the logon password for passwd [04:07] OchoZero9: I will find a software solution === brandon_ is now known as IvanBliminse [04:07] that's why i said those items are overpriced [04:07] anyone see anything useful with using full disk encryption + home encryption ? [04:07] software is easy to write, and exists [04:07] Hello I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my old hp laptop and have a couple quick questions... anyone able to help? [04:08] does apt-p2p work automagically, or do I need to invoke it? does it require configuration? [04:08] Osmodivs: Only difference is that some phones may only accept messages that are less than 128 characters. (I think it's 128, not totally sure, it's been a while, because now days, most phones will recieve much longer, or pretty much anything you want to send, even multi-media.) [04:08] Ares: Look in/etc/pam.d/common-password [04:08] IvanBliminse: yes...shoot :-) [04:08] Ares: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html [04:08] coi: more data security. eg. if your computer is stolen, theif will not steal your informations [04:08] Terry: Perhaps your mean 160? That's the standard limit for SMS messages [04:08] coi: can you actually do that? I'm not sure there would be much point anyways, FDE should encrypt your folder too [04:09] gaelfx, its in the installer options [04:09] BiPolah: Yeah I was looking at that, how do I remove the requirements altogether? I tried adding max=4 but that didn't work [04:09] coraxx: thanks so much. when I installed it from a CD, after install and it restarted it gave me a bunch of grub errors.. then ejected CD.. booted fine after restarting there. My only problem now is when I start, instead of getting the loading screen (with the dots) it is just a black screen with a flashing cursur.. whats wrong? [04:09] coi: interesting, good to know. I suppose it's great if you're paranoid [04:09] Ares: Perhaps set min to 0? [04:10] bc81: My crontab still doesn't work [04:10] BiPolah: Ok, maybe it IS 160. Like I say, I don't remember for sure. But early on, there was a limit and if you sent more than that limit, some phones just would not receive it. And if it wasn't straight text, or contained graphics, etc. [04:10] gaelfx, i guess FDE will protect your non booted system, but once booted, /home enc will protect your /home [04:10] make sense? [04:10] yeah, that makes sense [04:11] I suppose I'm starting to see how it might be useful :P [04:11] IRCsome: sorry, i can[t help you with it. you might want to try "Scheduled tasks" in the software center [04:11] :) [04:11] sacarlson, so 3240p 64 inches is $1080 [04:11] coraxx: no luck. [04:11] bc81: Yeah, that's what I've been using, but no luck there either. Thanks anyway! [04:11] IvanBliminse: if it does boot after a short while then nothing is wrong ... that 'splash' screen takes a while to appear, depending on how fast the kernel loads. On older and slower machines it may take some time for all the hardware devices to respond...so a cursor appears in the top right corner, as the machines is still running in 'text-mode' [04:12] IRCsome: the command won't empty your trash, or? [04:12] BiPolah: Didn't help [04:12] myk_robinson: damn .... not all machines 'agrees' with the optimistic updates in the new kernel for Maverick. [04:12] I hope I don't need a restart xD [04:12] OchoZero9: 3240p? What? Most things only support output up to 1080p, except for some high-end video cards which can 2560x1600 or something like that but which isn't really used by many things [04:13] Ares: Can't help you with it then, sorry. [04:13] coraxx: really bothersome, simple scroll is a basic feature. I love ubuntu but this is ridiculous :( [04:13] BiPolah: Thanks anyway [04:13] coraxx: that is what I assumed.. it eventually does load, and sometimes i do get the splash screen. Next ? if you don't mind. I had ubuntu 8.04 and remember having to install flash and java after installing OS... [04:13] BiPolah, I know. [04:13] coi: you don't need both installed if you already have full disk encryption don't encrypt home also then you have encrypt in encrypt it will slow your file access down [04:14] coraxx: is there a standard, heres all the regular stuff you'll need to install after loading 10.04 list you can point me too.. [04:14] myk_robinson: their might be an update under way ... if its any help, the Natty Narwhale is gonna come out soon :-) [04:14] sacarlson, "i guess FDE will protect your non booted system, but once booted, /home enc will protect your /home" [04:14] coraxx: perhaps I'll try a live version of it and see what's what [04:14] but it would bring 1080p to myopic people not wearing glasses at the time [04:14] So, I have a couple of questions about licensing. [04:15] every 9 pixel will represent 1 [04:15] less color bleeding and everything [04:15] coi: once your loged in your /home is also accesable, I guess if more than one person used the system maybe there would be a use to dual encrypt? [04:16] I work for a large electronics recycling corporation and I'm wondering if Ubuntu could be pre-installed on refurbished computers and be re-sold on Ebay in a legal fashion. [04:16] sacarlson, you nkow what's another idea? having a tablet, ipad or similar [04:16] to control the screens [04:16] IvanBliminse: there is a whole package called ubuntu-restricted-extras , where all that stuff is included (however I personally remove the openjdk packages afterwards and the iced-plugin....and the install the sun-java6-plugin instead) [04:16] Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if ubuntu [04:16] sacarlson, that is true for personal systems [04:16] OchoZero9: how would that combine them? [04:16] Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if ubuntu\ubu based system (linux mint) can use the dell st2220t monitor for single or multi touch, here is the product page http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=320-1819&baynote_bnrank=3&baynote_irrank=0&~ck=baynoteSearch [04:16] b0tz: Ubuntu certainly can [blank]. It's rather good at it. [04:16] I am trying to run an upgrade to 10.10 via the update manager, but it gives me an error during the 'calculating the changes' stage. [04:17] techMiles: try doing it through terminal? sudo apt-get upgrade [04:17] tablets are costly, [04:17] my bad BiPolah. [04:17] BiPolah, tried. :/ [04:17] iced-plugin crashes firefox 3.6.14 + [04:17] trying to go from 10.04 -> 10.10 [04:17] i'ts just a great idea to control these setups [04:18] to firefox 4+ [04:18] coraxx: Does openjdk and iced-plugin come with ubuntu restriced? next ? .. i have a usb mouse plugged in, and it works fine, but if i use my touchpad (laptop), it no longer recognizes the usb mouse... anyway to fix this? [04:18] techMiles: Isn't that sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [04:18] an ipad is like 500 bucks [04:18] Any ideas? [04:18] BiPolah, yes, and I tried that. It upgraded the images [04:18] that's the price of 4 monitors lol [04:18] Hi, is there a way to sync two ubuntu computers so that they have the same programs and settings and such? essentially have two copies of the same computer? [04:18] what's a decent wireless n router with usb port? [04:18] but not the packages or the package sources. [04:18] coi: seems a bit over kill to do a full disk encryption but I guess on a bussness server that kept databases with credit card info outside the /home dir there would be a need for it. otherwise for personal use seem just the /home encrypt would be enuf [04:18] IvanBliminse: yes those to are automatically installed when selecting the ubuntu-restricted-extras package ...just de-install them and you'll be ok. [04:19] IvanBliminse: Yes. It comes with Adobe flash, mp3 support, avi support, mpeg support, MS TTF support, .rar support, Java (OpenJRE) and IcedTea, among a few other things [04:19] i successfully installed maverick to a USB >:) [04:19] IvanBliminse: If you install via Ubuntu Software Centre you could select which parts to install and which to leave out [04:19] IvanBliminse: you might wanna updateif you haven't already done so ...and then see if the problem persist [04:20] i recommend removing IcedTea it will crash Firefox [04:20] can anyone can tell me if ubuntu\ubu based system (linux mint) can use the dell st2220t monitor for single or multi touch, wether with unity or regular gnome - here is the product page http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=320-1819&baynote_bnrank=3&baynote_irrank=0&~ck=baynoteSearch [04:20] coraxx: xchat was the first thing i did once i updated lol.. so i haven't done anything.. how do i updateif? [04:20] coi: I am presently working on a project to encrypt systems with online keys so the user won't even notice until it gets stolen then they can shut it down [04:20] Terrapin: I'm using IcedTea with Firefox (3.6.10) and I'm yet to crash [04:20] HELP I blasted gnome and now i can't connect too wifi too recover, need terminal wifi commands.. I can get the card up but it won't associate. [04:20] sacarlson, very cool. notice any performance hits? [04:20] IvanBliminse: use the update-manager in the System --> Administration --> Update manager menu [04:21] IvanBliminse: Or: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [04:21] sacarlson, my computers has similar features i'm not too informed on the subject though.. Intel Management tools or security [04:21] coi: I'm running in a virtualbox and seems to run ok not much diffence but haven't done much testing on speed [04:21] BiPolah, weird, Firefox crashes 3.6* to 4.0* with iced installed [04:21] coraxx: oh.. i already did that.. no new updates found...any other ideas? [04:21] here [04:21] sacarlson, FDE? [04:22] i just used Sun Java plug iin [04:22] coi: I have a version that is fde but the first online test will be just single partitions [04:22] IvanBliminse: if you've pushed the "Check" button first ...and no updates are presented...then you are all up-to-date :-) ...I just wanted to make sure that you were. [04:23] coraxx: yes, i had a mess of updates to install since i used an ISO that i made a couple months ago [04:23] coraxx: thanks so much for your help [04:23] IvanBliminse: yw [04:23] coi: it uses the same tools as fde that is luks [04:25] hurrah. got it. was an error with something noted in the troubleshooting section of the upgrade page for maverick. [04:25] how to hide the side bar in Unity when it is out of focus? [04:25] huzzah. [04:25] Hi, is there a way to sync two ubuntu computers so that they have the same programs and settings and such? essentially have two copies of the same computer? [04:26] Boatingbum23: several ways ... It depends on what is essential to you ... a good first choice for just regular thing is Ubuntu One ... [04:26] Boatingbum23, i don't know of one of the ways, but it sounds like a too many ways to skin a cat question [04:27] ubuntu one is just for files such as music or movies isnt it? [04:27] Boatingbum23: ... is a service from Ubuntu, where you can sync files, contacts, bookmarks etc. with an online service ...and every Ubuntu installed PC you have can be attached to this online account and thereby syncing them, so the are all up-to-date with your info. [04:27] by the way if you decide to use SSD in the future [04:27] clone one [04:28] you may not want to clone your OSes daily [04:28] Boatingbum23: It automatically syncs files between connected computers and the online storage, you could use it to store and synchronise sets of files that make up programs [04:28] coraxx: sorta like dropbox then? [04:28] OchoZero: Degradation problem? Isn't that mostly solved now? [04:28] Blue1: yes...actually very much like dropbox ...only free...and more convinient for Ubuntu users :-) [04:28] coraxx: drop box is free [04:28] if I may, quick question: which ndiswrapper-utils version should run with maverick? 1.8 or 1.9? using a trendnet pcmcia card [04:29] Coraxx, Blue1, Boatingbum23: It's only free up to 2GB. You can bump it up to 20GB storage for around $3-4 I thin [04:29] BiPolah: yeah 2G is plenty for me [04:29] BiPolah, I don't know if it's solved, and I want to buy an SSD and i'm not concered wth that problem. but when you syncing 20+gb daily then you may need to worry [04:29] thats what i thought it was, i already have drop box, but i mean such that it would sync my email adresses and rss subscriptions without having to enter them all manually, granted i want it for mor than that but thats a good example [04:29] Hey anyone here help me with Ubuntu and installing mySQL. intermid skill at it and tried everything I can think? [04:30] Blue1: is the dropbox storage space free ? [04:30] coraxx: yes up to 2G [04:30] boatingbum google docs [04:30] Anyone please if you know enough about MySQL and Ubuntu.. really need to know how to completely remove it [04:30] microsoft skydrive [04:31] everynote [04:31] `aptitude uninstall [packagename]` MarkS [04:31] how will google docs help me? [04:31] i forget the exact package name of mysql though [04:31] MarkS: what Shouko waid [04:31] said [04:31] aptitude is miles better than Synaptic/apt-get at uninstalling [04:31] Boatingbum23, cloud storage [04:31] Blue1: so the only advanced now is...Ubuntu One is part of ubuntu already ...and the software is based on OpenSource <-- I think is important if you wanna move your storage somewhere else. [04:32] I will give it ago I have tried purge remove etc etc and all fails :P [04:32] okay can someone help me figure out why dvd's wont load, or play in movie player? [04:32] Blue1: *advantages [04:32] Ill give it ago and see... :) [04:32] alright thanks everyone [04:32] coraxx: dropbox works on windows, mac, and linux, what's left? [04:32] Blue1, Hurd [04:33] Just kidding. I think FreeBSD should get a dropbox port though [04:33] FreeBSD has a lot of users too [04:33] Blue1: I heard that there is gonna be (if not already) a Windows version of Ubuntu One [04:33] brandonjames, have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [04:33] !download [04:33] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Maverick, and help keeping the servers' load low! [04:33] Shouko: isn't bsd a *nix variant? [04:33] not quite sure, how do i [04:33] Yes but linux programs aren't *inherently* compatible [04:33] !torrents [04:33] Maverick can be torrented from http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/maverick/desktop/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/maverick/server/ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture. Other flavors can be found at http://torrent.ubuntu.com/ [04:33] Shouko: we should readlly take this offline, or is pm ok? [04:34] PM is okay i guess [04:34] brandonjames, ctrl alt t then in the terminal type - sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:34] I don't know much else about freebsd though [04:34] is there a torrent for netbook or is it the same as desktop? [04:35] cntb: the netboox remix (10.10) will install the new unity interface. not the same as desktop. [04:37] hello, i just mounted a bin file in furius mount and inside there should be videos, but it converted everything to a WMV, whaty am i doing wrong? [04:37] hi I was told toshiba laptops have trouble running ubuntu is that true [04:37] thks Blue1 not sure what is meant by new unity interface [04:37] JoeMofknDot2, that's untrue [04:37] cntb: let me fine my review brb [04:38] eoss a wmv is a video, can you give more info? [04:38] in the meantime torrent downloading netbook will it work on virtualbox on Macbookpro? [04:38] cntb: http://pkill-9.com/?p=427 [04:38] k Blue1 [04:38] 10x Blue1 looking [04:38] ok I'll give it a go then I just wanted to know [04:38] can someone teach me how to use telnet please [04:39] nicolaus: do you have the telent client installed? [04:39] yes [04:39] nicolaus: generally telnet [04:39] np JoeMofknDot2 [04:40] nicolaus: leson #1 read man telnet [04:40] hi guys, i'm trying to make a file and it fails on missing gtk/gtk.h --> what is the package for lib gtk dev? I can't seem to find one in apt-cache search === elijah is now known as Guest93099 [04:41] carrot, probably something like libgtk-dev [04:41] g_0_0, ok let me test something then [04:41] do `aptitude search libgtk` [04:41] how do i open telnet on linux [04:41] where do i find it after its installed [04:41] nicolaus: which telnet [04:41] im not sure [04:41] i did [04:41] sudo apr-get install telnetd [04:42] Blue1 thank you very much for that review ! did not have time to investigate and your review is a real timesaver [04:42] Shouko: i'm doing apt-cache search libgtk and i don't see anything, do not have aptitude but i doubt that would make a difference? [04:42] g_0_0, ok now its telling me this: The requested plugins are: [04:42] video/x-asf-unknown decoder [04:42] nicolaus, you installed a telnet server ? did you want a client? [04:42] Hm [04:42] cntb: i didn't care for it, but if you like the ipad thing, it woujld be great I guess. [04:42] i just installed ubuntu restricted extras and tried playing a dvd in movie player but got an error that says "could not read from resource"? help? [04:42] eoss, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [04:42] im not sure if i install the server or the client [04:43] g_0_0, i doubt i have [04:43] i installed something tho [04:43] carrot, `apt-cache search libgtk | grep "\-dev"` have you tried something like that [04:43] eoss, in terminal type - sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [04:43] nicolaus: well maybe we should go back to why do you need telnet? we now normaly use ssh to remote into systems now for more security [04:43] IMHO ubuntu guys have practical decisions and that one keeps a small netbook performing and more fool proof . evidently not for people like you that know well and need freedom blue1 [04:44] yes thats what i want it for [04:44] brandonjames, have you tried another movie player, vlc for example [04:44] Shouko: i really do not see anything remotely like libgtk-dev except for libgtk2.0-dev (i am on xubuntu but that shouldn't change anything)? [04:44] to help protect my home network [04:44] hold on [04:44] cntb: my netbook works great with the desktop edition. [04:44] libgtk2.0-dev is what you want [04:45] Shouko: my make still fails, however [04:45] what are you building [04:45] it says: gui.c:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory [04:45] nicolaus, use ssh [04:45] i'm building some random source code i found for a race for the galaxy clone (board game) [04:45] I am more than sure . because you wont do stupid things that other will do and cause the netbook to get stuck [04:45] whats ssh? [04:46] !ssh | nicolaus [04:46] nicolaus: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [04:46] g_0_0, lot of magic happening right now [04:46] nicolaus: opening a telnet server is the oposite of adding security to your system. it transmits passwords in plain text [04:46] nicolaus, Secure SHell. you use it to run terminal commands remotely [04:46] ok [04:46] eoss, have you got it working? [04:46] that would be all . last saying is that ipad behavior is a time saver for simple tasks and simple users [04:47] i was thinking of using telnet to remotely connect to computers on MY HOME NETWORK just to see whats going on on each computer [04:47] Shouko: i am compiling this: http://keldon.net/rftg/ [04:47] nicolaus, telnet bad idea, use ssh [04:47] g_0_0, downloaded fine, still same error [04:47] ok [04:47] how i uninstall it [04:47] g_0_0: doesn't work in vlc either [04:47] g_0_0, The requested plugins are: [04:47] video/x-asf-unknown decoder [04:48] how i uninstall telnet [04:48] nicolaus: I use ssh for that and even bring up vnc with ssh to turn on cams that I can view or start sound recorders or skype to hear what's happening [04:48] oh dam can u teach me plz [04:49] nicolaus, easy there [04:49] start w/ basics [04:49] how can i uninstall telnet from my computer [04:49] yeh im willing the learn who wants to teach me [04:50] anyone ever dealt with youtube videos lagging and stuttering? [04:50] Shouko: i solved my own problem with make clean;./configure;make [04:50] Shouko: i needed to ./configure again [04:50] nice [04:50] google [04:50] ssh tutorials [04:50] k [04:51] also open ssh [04:51] openssh* [04:51] anyone have any ideas what i can try after i've exhausted all of google's suggestions? [04:53] eoss, see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [04:54] eoss try adding the medibunut repository and getting those packages. [04:54] http://medibuntu.org/index.php [04:54] ok i will try [04:54] is there a channel for ubuntu related performance problems? [04:56] g_0_0: doesn't work in vlc either === speedrunnerG55 is now known as speed-away [04:57] <_skpl> oi [04:57] <_skpl> whatup? [04:57] bgilb: are you using the adobe flash plugin? [04:58] yessir [04:58] bgilb: normaly for me that's my ISP or the server that it uses at the end point not providing the needed bandwidth. try increase the buffer size in the flash player [04:58] version 10.0 [04:58] what he said [04:58] i've also noticed i've had performance problems with firefox when the page has lots of things it starts lagging when scrolling [04:58] bgilb: you know the current version is 10.2 I believe [04:59] bgilb: how much physical ram do you have? [04:59] my system specs : phenom x4 2.3, 2gb ram, nvidia GTX 260 [04:59] Boatingbum23, the 2nd command on the first link u gave me does not work, it returns this E: Unable to locate package apport-hooks-medibunt [04:59] bgilb: is only ff open, or do you have other things running as well? [04:59] and i have the proprietary nvidia drivers installed; the ones ubuntu offers [05:00] Boatingbum23, then i did sudo apt-get upgrade and got this: E: Unable to locate package apport-hooks-medibuntsudo [05:00] E: Unable to locate package apt-get [05:00] E: Unable to locate package upgrade [05:00] well thats wrong [05:00] bgilb: next time it happens, open up system monitor and check the resources tab, it might give you an idea of why your system seems to be slow, you can also check processes tab to figure out who's eating up resources [05:01] eoss: sudo apt-get upgrade? [05:01] how do i download whats in the newly added repos gaelfx [05:01] eoss: it sounds like you entered sudo apt-get apt-get upgrade [05:01] i did it was wrong [05:02] eoss sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade [05:02] k [05:02] eoss: wait, do you only want to download them and not install them? [05:02] sorry my internet bleeped [05:02] i have 2gb of physical ram [05:02] no i wanted to install em, why else would i download em [05:03] ram usage sits around 500mb usually [05:03] eoss: lol, right, right, then do what I said [05:03] i think eoss that the first command does everything, the second command just adds it to the sotware center, do sudo apt-get update and then try your video again [05:03] woops sorry it is flash 10.2 [05:03] Boatingbum23: no, update only checks which packages are available [05:04] Boatingbum23: upgrade will then install them [05:04] whats the difference between update and upgrade? [05:04] gotcha [05:04] Boatingbum23, yep i did all of it and still same old error video/x-asf-unknown decoder [05:04] hmm. [05:04] how about a good old fashioned reboot? [05:04] couldnt hurt [05:04] eoss: what is it you're trying to do? [05:04] play wmv files [05:04] er, trying to fix [05:04] eoss: using which program? [05:05] mplayer [05:05] also it not working in vlc either [05:05] that should be under restricted extras as stated before but i had the same problem, installed the medibuntu packages and was fine [05:05] eoss: did you try installing vlc? although, I'll tell you now, if they are protected, then it's a no go [05:05] yes i have vlc it threw an error which claimed was unfixable [05:06] eoss: then my guess is that there is either something wrong with the wmv or it's protected [05:06] cant be, i had windows 7 and they played fine [05:06] eoss: have you tried downloading a different wmv to play it? [05:06] the audio of the files are coming out fine [05:06] it wont play the vid [05:07] i didnt try different wmv player [05:08] just quickie google wmv and download the first thing that looks reasonably safe [05:09] this is the vlc error No suitable decoder module: [05:09] VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this. [05:10] hang on, I'm testing it on my machine [05:10] eoss: Consider installing mplayer and the win32codecs [05:10] i have mplayer, its giving me an error also [05:10] Diamondcite: he's got mplayer already [05:10] How about the win32codec pack from the site? [05:11] i just downloaded codec i dont know they were the win32 ones [05:11] eoss: ya if all fails win32codecs http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecsw64codecs-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat.html [05:11] which is best software to record desktop in ubuntu, i tried recordmydesktop, but there is lot of flickr after recordiing and encoding. [05:11] i just did the mediabuntu codecs already =/ [05:11] ? [05:12] i want to record my desktop in hd quality, no flickering should be there:) [05:12] eoss: This is different. Please read that page. [05:12] abhilashm86: I think you might want to turn compiz off when you record [05:12] eoss: try this wmv, plays fine on my computer: http://gallery.mobile9.com/f/612126/ [05:13] eoss: Err my mistake? [05:13] sacarlson: No even when browser or window change, flickr happens [05:13] also i have amd64 [05:13] eoss: me too [05:13] hello everyone [05:14] help [05:14] ? [05:14] what is that video some trojan? [05:14] hello [05:14] sacarlson: which software do you use. [05:14] i configured ldap and samba for user authentication. what are the steps to be taken to link up windows 7 machine to acces the ldap server [05:14] eoss: MSSec didn't throw anything from it, so it should be fine [05:14] abhilashm86: I use the same as you [05:14] i mean user authentication from ldap server in windows 7 [05:15] abhilashm86: but maybe with the added gui interface [05:15] eoss: If you have amd64.. did you install w64codecs? [05:15] yes i think i just did [05:15] sudo apt-get install w64codecs libdvdcss2 [05:15] sacarlson: don't you get flickering? can you tell frame rate you use.... [05:15] abhilashm86: it could be a video driver thing, I have the propriatary nvidia drivers running [05:16] eoss have you tried renaming the file with an asf extension instead of wmv ? [05:16] would switching to 64bit ubuntu help with performance at all? [05:16] no i have not [05:16] eoss, might be worth a go just to see [05:16] abhilashm86: I think I slowed it to like 15 frames/sec to save mem and disk space and sure I guess there would be some flicker but good enuf [05:16] g_0_0: Mplayer the command line version shouldn't care about extension. [05:16] eoss: that wmv I downloaded played in every media player I have [05:17] sacarlson: Even i have video nvidia drivers enabled in Additional drivers in system->admin.. [05:17] Sorry, could not rename "ccent01.wmv" to "ccent01.asf": Error renaming file: Function not implemented [05:17] eoss: did you check the permissions on the file? [05:18] eoss, ???? how did you try and rename it? [05:18] i did it from the GUI i clicked rename [05:18] abhilashm86: bigest problem I have is the sound get's out of sync with the video, but i live with it [05:19] i've tried a million and one things. but i still can't get my wireless to functioning right. i can connect to the network. i see my machine on the router and i can see other machines from ubuntu in networking... but everything is sporatic. [05:19] What does it mean when a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 tends to freeze after about 30 seconds of operation? [05:19] eoss, close the file if it's already open, then in terminal type - sudo mv ccent01.wmv ccent01.asf [05:19] abhilashm86: my work around for that was make many short training video instead of long ones [05:19] eoss, then try again, what player are you using ? [05:19] can i do that if its inside an ISO [05:20] im testing on mplayer and vlc [05:20] IsmAvatar, I'd tend to suspect hardware issues. Or try a reinstall and see. [05:20] can any one tell me about cross compilation of arm [05:20] sacarlson: ok fine, i found a software recordit, i'll try else compromise with it, thanks mate!! [05:20] eoss: if it's in an iso, you can't change it, copy it to your hard drive [05:21] Madpilot: I was thinking reinstall as well. It has been working for about a year before my hard drive took a dump. Also, it's dual boot WinXP, and WinXP works fine. [05:21] renamed. still nothing [05:21] abhilashm86: I used gtk-recordmydesktop [05:21] eoss: right click and select properties, then go to the audio/video tab [05:22] k [05:22] eoss: and tell us what codec it says [05:22] ASF video (video/x-ms-asf) [05:22] IsmAvatar, try the reinstall, esp. if it's not happening while running XP. [05:22] is there a way to do a complete (or mostly complete) reinstall of ubuntu from the terminal? [05:22] Madpilot: thanks [05:22] IsmAvatar, try the livecd as well, see if it happens there. [05:22] there isnt a video tab [05:22] only an audio tab [05:22] and again heres the error i get in mplayer [05:22] video/x-asf-unknown decoder [05:22] nuthin, eh? [05:22] Madpilot: been having problems with the CD drive, so I've been doing it from USB. [05:23] djindy: the alternate cd install uses no gui is that what you want? [05:23] course, might just be some bad Cds [05:23] IsmAvatar, liveUSB/liveCD, whatever works. I never have a usb key empty to go that route. :) [05:23] eoss: the audio and video tab should be the same tab, so that's kinda weird. do you know how the wmv was made? [05:23] it was originally a bin and a cue file [05:24] i iso'd the bin === king is now known as Guest99883 [05:24] sacarison: what I mean is, rather than having to boot to a cd or usb, can I reinstall ubuntu from within a current ubuntu install? [05:24] eoss: did you try opening the iso with vlc? [05:24] yes, MSS2 error [05:24] errr not the iso itself [05:24] Madpilot: me neither, but ever since I discovered that you can add files on after creating the image... [05:24] eoss: give that a go then [05:25] VLC does not support the audio or video format "undf". [05:25] theres more than just video and audio in the iso [05:25] bunch of stuff [05:25] i miss windows 7 =[ [05:26] eoss: well, I'm stumped. did you try #vlc or #mplayer for help? [05:26] no i didnt [05:26] eoss, have you already played this particular file in windows 7? [05:26] it's probably worth a shot, though I know those places are sometimes cricketheaven [05:26] djindy: yes you can install from hard disk by adding a grub2 entry and point to an iso file to install [05:26] yep g_0_0 [05:27] eoss, DRM ?? [05:27] sacarison: I see, thank you. [05:28] sacarlson: that sounds fun :D [05:28] g_0_0, it worked fine in win7 wpuld DRM just affect linux?

[05:46] i don't want the subtitles to play [05:47] i configured ldap and samba for user authentication. what are the steps to be taken to link up windows 7 machine to acces the ldap server [05:47] joeoshawa, which media player [05:47] all of them [05:47] gaelfix: yes a drive and swap [05:47] but movie player is the one i am using [05:47] joeoshawa, are they hardcoded, or following an srt file [05:47] srt file [05:47] amit: and what are you trying to do exactly? I mean besides delete the partition? [05:47] joeoshawa, then remove the file? [05:48] damn [05:48] ok [05:48] gaelfx: error says when i even going to delete that logical partition it says that remove the logical greater than 5 [05:48] thought maybe there was a way i could make them off by default and turn them on if i want them [05:49] gaelfx: i want to completely remove extended space and want tomake new primary partitions as the extended have the full space [05:49] joeoshawa: there isn't a preferences option in any of the menus? [05:49] not for the default [05:49] amit: how many primary partitions do you have now? [05:50] i have to turn them off every time i start a video === techhelper-1 is now known as techhelper1 [05:50] gaelfx: 2 primary partitions and the second one am using s extended and under this i have a logical drive and a swap [05:51] would it be better if i posted on the forums? [05:51] amit: did you try deleting the logical partition first? [05:51] i've asked my question 10 times over the last 2 days and have received zero response. [05:51] it's frustrating [05:51] bgilb, arch refers to 32bit or 64bit [05:51] 32 bit [05:51] it seems to be a universal thing [05:51] gaelfx: yes i tried but it says delete the logical more than 5 [05:51] but my cpu is 64bit [05:52] joeoshawa: in preferences, see the checkbox that says "Load subtitles file when movie is loaded"? [05:52] i have quite a few players and all of them play the subtitles on startup [05:52] gaelfx: should i have to delete swap first before the logical drive as swap goes to sda6 [05:53] amit: give it a try [05:53] ping [05:54] joeoshawa: well, I personally prefer smplayer, but that's me. vlc is pretty good too. I almost never touch movie player though [05:54] now thats weird i see it and its unchecked [05:54] gaelfx: ok m going with live cd i wlii come after the result ok [05:54] joeoshawa: indeed, that is pretty weird [05:54] joeoshawa: is this an mkv with built-in subs? [05:54] yeah its just the default i tried changing that but i am having a problem with that setting too lol [05:54] amit: ok, good luck! [05:54] no separate file [05:55] but if i go to subtitles in the menu or when i right click while its playing it turns them off when i select none [05:55] joeoshawa: try smplayer, if you have it, the options are much more vast, confusing, but precise ;) [05:55] actually i like smplayer [05:56] anyone familiar with ubuntu netbbok edition? [05:56] same problem with new vids downloaded =/ [05:56] brb gonna restart [05:56] joeoshawa: if you want to make it the default player, you just need to check the properties of any kind of movie file you want it to play and select smplayer under the opens with tab, then it will always open files of that type with smplayer [05:56] i would say smplayer then vlc then xine [05:57] hahaha i forgot that lol omg i feel like a noob now [05:57] how do i get unity to install? [05:57] joeoshawa: hey, no big deal, I forget shtuff all the time === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [05:58] hey guys [05:58] craig unity should be the default if you're using 10.10, I think [05:58] testtest helli?

[06:08] amh345, no, you'll need to enable the backports repos, update sources list then search for the ones related to wireless [06:09] amh345: it might be easier if you use synaptic package manager and search backports wireless [06:09] ok, i did install ubuntu-desktop just so i could poke around quicer. === dumont- is now known as dumont [06:09] amh345: it should be something like backports-compat-wireless-maverick-generic [06:09] im going to try this out. ill report back *finger crossed* [06:11] amh345: good luck [06:11] I'm off, like a prom dress [06:11] :\ [06:12] btw thanks it worked i set subtitles off by default in smplayer and there off that problem is a movie player problem [06:12] i guess factory settings have subtitles on in most of the players [06:14] Hi [06:14] I'd like to discuss a gsoc project idea for this time [06:14] blahsphemer, thats out of the scope of this channel [06:15] hello, I have been reading up on ubuntu firewalls and from what i have seen Iptables seems to be the best ... I was wondering if you guys think it is and if there is a gui for iptables that will work well with iptables ?

[06:20] wolter, open office by the looks of it [06:20] If I accidentally deleted files using Shift+del, Is there a way to recover it? [06:20] Alright, well, I set up and ubuntu server on my other computer, booted it up with openssh, which works wonderfully while connecting over local IP's. However, i can't connect to it using my external IP (while still connected to the same lan). Do i have to be NOT on the same lan in order to use my external IP to ssh into the server, or did i mess something up in port forwarding?

[06:22] bazhang, k [06:22] harisund: set it up to port 22, TCP, and pointed it at my server using local ip [06:23] Rhysk: The only thing I can probably imagine is port 22 is blocked by your ISP [06:23] Do you have access to a Linux machine outside your LAN? You could try SSHing into that, then SSHing back to your server to see if port forwarding and everything is setup properly [06:23] blahsphemer, if you've got an Ubuntu-specific GSoC idea, #ubuntu-devel to ask further, perhaps. [06:23] harisund: that would be massive shinanigans.......im on WoW [06:23] :) cool glad i could help [06:24] Rhysk: WoW? [06:24] Madpilot, k [06:24] Rhysk: That's just one thing I am able to think of though ... [06:25] whai? [06:25] harisund: wide open west, my isp. And i can ssh as far as a password appears on a friends server, but can't use it to check cause dont know his pass [06:25] harisund: when i try connecting to mine using external ip, it just thinks forever [06:25] Rhysk: easy way to tell is port 22 is open is: telnet localhost 22 [06:25] Blue1: he already has that working [06:26] Rhysk: That's what, I am guessing the connection comes to your router and then gets stuck. Is your router a DD-wrt? Can you SSH into the router itself? [06:26] harisund: eggsalad! [06:26] * yeertai jumps [06:26] harisund: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused [06:26] Can not registry in skype. It gives "invalid password". What to do? [06:27] Rhysk: That is because I am guessing you don't have SSH server installed on your client and if you are on your client and say "localhost" you are referring to your client. Try "telnet LAN_server_IP 22" it will connect to port 22 on the computer you have setup the SSH server [06:27] harisund: I wont pretend to be a pro, not sure what DD-wrt is [06:28] harisund: if I connect locally to my server and run the last command again, will it give me a correct output? [06:28] Rhysk: Yes it should [06:29] harisund: Trying ::1... [06:29] Connected to localhost. [06:29] Escape character is '^]'.

[06:30] If I accidentally deleted files using Shift+del, Is there a way to recover it? Is there any softwares for it? [06:30] Rhysk: yeah don't paste it here. Just know that it works [06:30] lol, alright [06:30] bazhang: i installed backports-compat-wireless-maverick-generic but im not having any different luck. i still connect to the wireless.. but i get no pages [06:30] ok, so ill reserve trying to figure out what is going on until i can try from outside my lan [06:30] I followed the DVD lib requiredments and added the command to play encrypted DVD's in the docs online, but my Netflix DVD still throws errors in the movie player [06:31] Rhysk: I am pretty convinced it has something to do with the port forwarding [06:31] Rhysk: all routers run a operating system of sorts, typically called "firmware", dd-wrt is an open-source firmware supporting several various hardware networking vendors, netgear, linksys, buffalo, etc. [06:31] harisund: Well,i have a Trendnet, which is total crap, so I might have done something wrong. [06:31] Rhysk: Do you know if your IP is a publicly accessible IP? [06:32] Rhysk: Trendnet is good enough for port forwarding, I can tell you that much! [06:32] Rhysk, you could try an open proxy [06:32] whoami [06:32] ejv: ah, thanks, i have heard about that [06:32] harisund: i wouldn't know how to check if it is publically accessible [06:32] Rhysk, or change the port for ssh if you isp is blocking 22 [06:32] Rhysk: Here's one way to check [06:32] does anyone here have any trouble upgrading sun-java on lucid lynx ? [06:33] Rhysk: First, look on your TrendNet router to see what public IP it has acquired from your ISP [06:33] Rhysk: Then go to somewhere like http://whatismyip.com and see if they match. [06:33] harisund: How...do i do that first part (excuse my noobishness) [06:34] Rhysk: On your TrendNet router, there should be some kind of a "Information" page which basically just shows the details your router has acquired. I am guessing your router is connected directly to a cable modem right? [06:34] just as a note, I switched to linux and started a server so I could learn about this networking stuff, so go easy :/ [06:34] Rhysk: that's ok :) [06:34] harisund:yep [06:35] harisund: when you say on, do you mean like physically on it, or on the configuation page? [06:35] Rhysk: You setup port forwarding right? For that you must have logged into the router, correct? Something like http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or some such router IP address? (typically ending in 1) ? [06:36] hey guys...dumb question but i have to ask.... [06:36] harisund: yes, ok, you kept saying on, and i wasn't sure if you mean on the configuration page, on like ON it [06:36] Rhysk, he means on the config page in your browser [06:36] would running Desktop 10.10 vs Server 10.10 in any way prevent me from tunneling ipv6 properly [06:37] not to step on any toes [06:38] doesn't anyone play DVD's? [06:38] pardon SpinachHead ? [06:38] SpinachHead, some do, what's the issue? [06:38] harisund: ok, device info, ip is the same as the one on whatismyip.com [06:39] SpinachHead, get libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org [06:39] I followed all the library requirements and the encyprtion command but still doesn't work [06:39] Rhysk: That's good :) So let's see [06:39] okay [06:39] SpinachHead: you'll have to be FAR more specific, what commands, what software are you trying to use, what disc are you attempting to play, what version of OS and software, etc. be thorough. [06:40] harisund: lets see? [06:40] Rhysk: I am just thinking what you can do .. [06:41] harisund: oh, ok [06:41] and don't direct it at me, per se, im afk now ;) [06:41] (good luck) [06:42] anyone know how to remove join/leave channel messages in irssi? [06:42] !quietirssi | pyro358379 [06:42] pyro358379: To ignore joins, parts, quits in irssi: /ignore #ubuntu +JOINS +PARTS +QUITS [06:43] thanks, i think it worked [06:43] pyro358379: or you can add it manually into your .config under ~/.irssi: http://dpaste.com/447170/ [06:44] pardon me: s/.config/config/g [06:44] ejv: adding stuff manually to irssi's config file is a good way to get #irssi to facepalm. [06:45] not if you're a pro, like moi [06:46] and I almost knew someone was going to say something about that [06:46] someone couldn't resist ;) [06:47] Rhysk: Don't paste here, but can you try running "tracepath " on your server and see if you can interpret the results? [06:47] isn't it traceroute [06:47] <[biabia]> with ubuntu server, can it also be used in graphical mode? [06:47] or am i getting old ... [06:47] [biabia]: yes, you'll have to fetch gnome desktop though [06:48] ejv: I typed "trace" followed by the tab key, and my Ubuntu shows me "tracepath, tracepath6, traceroute6 , traceroute6.iputils" [06:48] harisund: alright, ill give that a shot [06:48] [biabia]: or a desktop environment of your choosing, doesn't *have* to be gnome [06:48] <[biabia]> ejv how complicated is that to do [06:48] ejv: I know on windows it is tracert [06:48] bed time later thanks for the help [06:48] [biabia]: complicated? ehhh apt-get install ; wait... get some coffee.... profit [06:48] night [06:49] <[biabia]> ejv, so one package installs gnome desktop? or perhaps kde [06:49] [biabia]: no, but one right command pulls in all the necessary packages :) [06:49] hey playing mp4 has no colors I want to reinstall the codec what package should I reinstall? [06:49] [biabia]: my understanding that gnome-desktop or err 'ubuntu-desktop' is a metapackage that will draw in everything required [06:49] s/that/is that/ [06:50] just try it already ;) [06:50] ejv: Does that regex replace only the first 'that' or every 'that' in the sentence? [06:50] harisund: hmm, what does a whole bunch of asterisks mean? [06:50] ? [06:50] Rhysk: Can you paste the output in pastebin and type the link here? [06:51] [biabia]: i'll save you the security 'spiel' about running X/gdm on a server, and assume you know why i'm bringing that up [06:51] Rhysk: basically you go to http://pastebin.com/ and paste the output and submit it, it gives you a URL that you can paste here (in case you have not used pastebin before) [06:51] hello [06:51] ? [06:51] hello [06:52] HI [06:52] <[biabia]> ejv the reason servers typically omit the desktop for the same reason [06:52] why would the terminal not always show printf stuff? code I compiled is clearly running fine short of that [06:52] [biabia]: just making sure ;) [06:52] as I can see in netstat [06:52] harisund: http://paste.ubuntu.com/572068/ [06:52] hello [06:52] harisund: all of them, although i didn't realize there were two occurances heheh [06:52] ejv: ok ! In Vi I think that replaces only the frist occurence, I think you need a /g or something to replace all occurences, hence my curiosity [06:53] yyyyyyy [06:53] anyway to run an app short of ./blah [06:53] wat would effect printf [06:53] the output of it [06:54] Rhysk: First, before you paste like that, cover your IP address! And second, I am able to connect to the IP address and reach the password prompt, so I think you have everything setup correctly and are just unable to access it yourself from inside :) [06:55] <[biabia]> harisund does the right command differ a lot, for installing kde(preferred) instead of gnome? [06:55] [biabia]: Yes it very much does ! [06:55] harisund: i believe sed tokenizes occurances, so you can call them numerically, example `sed '1,/RE/s/that/is that/' ` [06:55] orr err counting may start at 0, damn comp sci nerds ;) [06:55] ejv: hm ok .. I am still learning regexes and I keep getting mixed up between RegExes used by Vi, find, sed etc etc [06:56] harisund: me too, it's a lifelong project heheh [06:56] harisund: yes, i suppose you are right, and ok, cool! Any idea why i got asterisks on the traceroute? [06:56] ugh I guess ill just make it write to a file then [06:56] Rhysk: That I am not sure. I am guessing some problem with the way (or maybe the router is designed that way) the router handles loopback [06:57] Rhysk: If you have a smart phone, you could try using your data plan on it to SSH into your server :) That will have a different IP ! [06:57] harisund: if you can master the basics like awk, xargs, sed, etc, you can do almost anything ;) [06:57] ejv: Yeah definitely .. and by etc you mean "others" and not a command named etc right? [06:57] harisund: i have an iphone 3g, on the 4g OS, it can barely run the facebook app.... [06:57] harisund: you are correct [06:58] harisund: anyway, that is unrelated [06:58] Rhysk: hmm ok, I have a Symbian phone and I have Putty (SSH client) installed, and I often SSH into my server from my phone, so I suggested that. And ejv : ok :D I thought etc was some cool shell command I was unaware of [07:04] Alright, second question involves a bit of a preamble. Basically, I set up my ubuntu server so i could directly learn more about bash, networking, ect., from use of it. But, of course, I need something to do on the server in order to learn anything. The friend that helped me set up the server suggested trying to make a script like he did in order learn something about bash scripting. Basically, the script (tbh, not sure if that is the corre [07:04] ct words, or from hear on out if they wil be the correct words) periodically checks a torrent site for new updates of a show he watches, then downloads the new torrent if there is one, and streams that movie/episode/whatever to his xbox. Now, i'm not necessarily asking for help on how to do it, I am asking on how to start teaching myself how to do it. I haven't the foggiest idea where to start looking for tuturials or what to even look for [07:04] tutorials on other than a super-generic 'bash scripting tuturial'. If you could point me in the right direction, that would be much apprceciated :D [07:04] Rhysk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:04] oops, flood on accident [07:05] Rhysk: Take a project, break it down into small, easily managed tasks. [07:06] did the flood control cut off half of that, or did i just get warned about it? [07:06] kb1jwq: thats what i want to do, I just don't know how to break it down, or what the chunks would look like [07:08] an analogy i could think of would be to tell someone to play quarterback who has never experience football before. the person wouldn't know what to do, nor how to look for what they had to do, or even what they didn't know how to do [07:09] Rhysk, Ubuntu Forums might be a better match for really complex queries. Else break your problem down to one-liner chunks... [07:10] madpilot: alright, thanks for the advice, ill head over there [07:10] y'all rock, btw [07:11] Rhysk, but picking thru your wall-o-text, you're basically looking for bash scripting tutorials? [07:11] gah, missed him. [07:13] hi guys I was wondering what's the actual 'part' of Microsoft Windows that's running when Wubi is executed [07:13] Does the windows kernel ever gets loaded? Does any closed source software run before/during/after Wubi runs? [07:15] Does anyone here use the Feel of Japan icon pack? The download is down and I'm wondering if someone could upload theirs somewhere... [07:21] what do Ubuntu and Windows actually share when Ubuntu is installed w/ Wubi? [07:22] euthymos: I'm not sure about the boot loader but I would think after it's booted it's only running ubuntu inside a loop like drive mount of the simulated partition within the partition of windows [07:23] the bootloader is Windows's chainloading to GRUB4DOS, I believe. sacarlson is correct about the partition being loopback. [07:23] so there's a small piece of code that just mounts the Windows main NTFS partition, and then opens the Ubuntu disk image making it available to a Linux kernel as a root filesystem= [07:24] ? [07:24] euthymos: pretty much. [07:24] anyone recommend a nice rss reader that syncs with google reader? [07:25] uhm... So no M$ kernel running. Where can I get a detailed and understandable explanation on how it works, so that I can read my own w/o bugging you ? :D [07:25] u can make a simple RSS reader with PHP and AJAX [07:26] waho123125: not as simple when your wanting it to update google reader that its been read, etc [07:26] because I actually did not understand the details [07:26] or am i looking for something web based [07:26] er, nor [07:26] Does anyone know how to make a usb thumb drive boot ubuntu? [07:27] im not exactly sure what u want. I just suggested something basic [07:27] hello [07:27] Hey All, I've been assigned the task of reducing the root lvm volume of ubuntu (on the server I have) from 1.75TB to 1TB... Am I correct in that to do this I need to restart the server and boot from the alternate install CD? [07:27] Docfxit: bios has to support it, but you ubuntu has an app for creating a usb boot drive [07:27] And if so - does anyone know of any resources that could direct me further from there? [07:28] Macscr, I tried that app. It gives me an error when I boot. [07:28] Docfxit: and what error is that? [07:29] Docfxit: i used the tool last week to create myself one [07:29] so i just had my wireless functioning. i rebooted and now it isnt functioning again. by functioning i mean viewing webpages. i can connect to the network. what was the command again to bring wlan0 up agaib? [07:29] macscr, Give me a min and I'll bring it up again. [07:30] after adding a repo what is the apt command to activate it? [07:30] spinachhead sudo apt-get update [07:31] ah, yes, thanks [07:31] macscr, menu.c32: not a com32r image [07:31] macscr, The next line says Boot: [07:32] Macscr, The two lines keep repeating. [07:32] hey all, i am trying to point wine to a mapped network cdrom, so far i got drive to open in ubuntu but am unable to show wine where to look for it... any suggestions? [07:32] yeah, i have to run sudo ifconfig wlan0 down;sudo ifconfig wlan0 up; sudo dhclient everytime i boot my machine [07:33] wth, this chart doesnt even make sense. How can ubuntu be more popular than linux of ubuntu us just a linux distro? http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/08/ubuntu-probably-first-ever-linux-distro.html [07:33] !ot | MACscr [07:33] MACscr: #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! [07:34] MACscr: because people search for "Ubuntu" more than they search for "Linux"? [07:34] MACscr: it's just a search term chart, not a usage chart. [07:34] rww: yeah, i guess i should have looked closer at the article [07:34] was worded a bit weird [07:35] hi, I'm trying to get my motorola zn300 phone to detect so I can copy phtotos from it [07:35] any suggestions? [07:36] hmmm, ubuntu 10.10 installed libdvdcss2 all the other libs in the docs and the encryption command and still can't play a netflix dvd [07:36] it's plugged in to my computer via USB [07:36] SpinachHead: Are you getting IO errors in dmesg? What happens when you try to play the DVD? [07:37] movie player pops a dialogue An Error Occurred, could not read from resource [07:37] arch_nme: check in /media [07:37] vlc didn't work either [07:38] how do i go about pointing wine to a mounted network shared cdrom??? trying to install a game on a laptop with a busted cdrom :-! [07:38] SpinachHead: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg | tail" after getting such an error? [07:38] Rusty149, no just my CD drive is there [07:38] spinichhead Install libdbdread4 [07:39] spinichhead sorry libdvdread4 [07:39] I have libdread4, the dmesg says something about regional code not matching. I will paste it in a sec [07:39] twiztid, go into wine configuration and select the drives tab, you should be able to set it up from there [07:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/572077/ [07:40] arch_nne: first check the lsusb output for the device [07:41] SpinachHead: Have you ever assigned a region to this drive? [07:41] arch_nme: assuming you have unplugged and replugged [07:41] Rusty149, I see it in there as "Bus 001 Device 007: ID 22b8:41b6 Motorola PCS" [07:42] I don't know how to do that [07:42] Rusty149, yeah tried that [07:42] arch_nme: that exactly where i am, i dont show up on the desktop (even though its clearly there) nor does it show in /media or /home so im stumped... i found it in the .gvfs folder where samba mounts such shares, but because .gvfs is hidden, wine ignors it.... ugh, thx for your reply tho [07:42] SpinachHead: Have you ever played any commercial DVDs with this hard drive before (in any OS)? [07:42] SpinachHead: *DVD drive [07:43] twiztid there is a show dot files option [07:43] no, because it is a laptop and haven't used it for dvd's before === wampire__ is now known as WamPIRe_ [07:43] I know the netflix dvd I last used was in windows and it worked, but I prefer to use my ubuntu laptop [07:44] arch_nme: reconnect drive then run dmesg should tell you which decice it has been assigned [07:44] rusty149: i ticked it, do i need to start the whole playonlinux process over again? [07:45] eh, maybe I will give up... on this one and go to my tv [07:45] twiztid you should then be able to select it from wine config [07:45] Rusty149, that lsusb command jsut told me it was device 7 or are you talking about something different? === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [07:45] hurm... ima funk with it for a sec, ill get back to ya [07:45] is there a way to slow down mouse wheel scrolling in 10.10, the mouse preferences doesnt have the option for a scroll wheel [07:45] anyone running the newest gnome shell on their 10.10 system? im thinking about trying it out [07:47] Hi @Nijabo [07:47] <[biabia]> whats the difference between ubuntu one and ec2 and uec [07:47] argh [07:47] Hi Fidde [07:48] I got this stuff from dmesg and I can see the ouput from me plugging it in and out but I don't know what to do with it [07:48] arch_nme: yeah look for /dev/sdb, sdc etc [07:49] can I paste 4lines of output in here? [07:49] rusty149: even though 'show dot files' is ticked and i pressed apply, i still cant see them... [07:49] use paste.ubuntu.com [07:50] twiztid: so you browse to /home/you/.gvfs/share? [07:50] Rusty149, here is my dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/572079/ [07:51] rusty149: correct, except... .gvfs and other .files dont show up [07:52] so now it's device 8, it seems to be increasing the device number every time I unplug and replug [07:53] hello [07:53] hi [07:53] arch_nme: ok the device is /dev/sdb.so run sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/FolderNameHere , or look for it in sudo mount -l [07:54] twiztid: after selecting did you click apply and reopen config window? [07:56] rusty149: yes i pressed apply, but to close the config window continues playonlinuxs steps to install... should i proceed and add the drive after it all? i thought id need it added before install... [07:56] 哦 [07:58] twiztid : didnt know you were in playonlinux. try the preferences before going through installing the game. or just mount the share in the prefix folser [07:59] Oh Sorry about the typos guys im on my Nexus One :-) [08:00] Sorry,I'm Live In Indonesia [08:00] Rusty149, Yeah, i have failed, not sure how to proceed http://paste.ubuntu.com/572080/ [08:01] rusty149: ya sry... ok, well ill give these new options a go, thx for the help! ill report any successes and failures lol [08:02] hi [08:03] hi [08:03] I'm newbie for ubuntu [08:03] same here === h3r0 is now known as Guest74960 [08:04] love ubuntu!!! lol [08:04] yeah.. i like it [08:04] arch_nme: mkdir /media/phone && sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/phone [08:04] Yes, Ubuntu has left me kinda starstruck. [08:06] rusty149: well i went ahead and clicked show dot files, apply and closed the config... then the next step is playonlinux asking for the install file and i was able to navigate to .gvfs and start the installation... so now, as it seems, the installation completed without the drive being mapped in winecfg... going to check the winecfg again and see if i can see dot files [08:06] Rusty149, I got that "mount: /dev/sdb: unknown device" error again [08:07] successfully made the dir though [08:08] Gnome is the GUI for Ubuntu desktop right? and Unity is the GUI for the netbook remix?

I didn't know that they did [08:15] jgcampbell300: all 4 pairs have to be crossed, 100mbit only uses 2 pairs [08:16] starztorm: yes and no, unity is set to replace gnome by using mutter in natty narwhal (ubuntu11) but there is alot of discussion about gnome3's development as well as making unity compatible with compiz... so far theres a backport of unity/compiz for ubuntu 10.04LTS and 11Alpha, but they've decided to not support unity/compiz in 10.10 for various reasons.... [08:16] and off course, both sides have to be gigabit-capable (no idea about ps3 and those toys) [08:16] llutz, oh i see so the tipolagy is wrong for reaching giga ... that makes since thanks [08:19] yep sure enough .. wrong cable ... man i wish i had my tools with me ... thanks for solving this for me llutz [08:20] !bug 57005 [08:20] Launchpad bug 57005 in linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) "All audio stutters in 6.06.1" [Medium,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/57005 [08:20] !nvidia [08:20] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:20] hi, anyone knows the best windows 7 version?

[09:19] magnetron: still on the MBR [09:19] when I try to install lmms-vestige, it say that it will delete wine 1 and install wine 1.2.2. However, I need wine 1, and vestige too. how? [09:20] llutz_: do i need to input the "." after the -s option? (ln -s ./) or is it ln -s / ? [09:20] magnetron: there are problems with dual booting linux now thanks to the way grub2's config files are stored in ubuntu [09:20] ikonia: won't that overwrite my current bootloader? [09:20] magnetron: yes, it ubuntu's design of grub2 makes dual booting multiple Linux OS's a real pain [09:20] twiztid: use the full or relative path to the mountpoint, it was just an example [09:20] ikonia: i was thinking of chaining them [09:20] magnetron: before you could use a shared /boot with menu.lst that both could access, now with the files in /etc only one can manage [09:21] magnetron: ahh, if you want to chain tem, stick it on the new root lv you're creating [09:21] no habla nadie español [09:21] llutz_: right i just wasnt sure if i need the period or not? [09:21] grub2-devs smokw strange stuff [09:21] twiztid: no [09:22] ikonia: if i chain them, would it be simple to later make this my only boot loader? [09:22] llutz_: ok thx, sry, im learning... this way seems promising, ill let ya know how it turns out... thx! =) [09:22] magnetron: in my view, no, you want to keep the one on your MBR as your only boot loader, then chain that one to the one on the LV [09:22] ikonia: ah, ok [09:22] magnetron: that's just my opinion though [09:23] when I try to install lmms-vestige, it say that it will delete wine 1 and install wine 1.2.2. However, I need wine 1, and vestige too. Is it possible? [09:25] hello all..is anyone really familiar with grub and grub2 on 9.04 ? [09:25] brokenpeace: just ask, lets see if anyone knows [09:27] llutz_: ok after inputting ln -s /home/kady/.gvfs/pcdrive on xptwiztid /home/kady/.playonlinux/wineprefix/aoe/dosdevices/d:\ and pressing enter, it outputs back a single > ...what to do from here or what did i do incorrectly? === mandybun1u is now known as mandybuntu [09:28] !esln -s /home/kady/.gvfs/pcdrive on xptwiztid /home/kady/.playonlinux/wineprefix/aoe/dosdevices/d:\ [09:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [09:28] oops sry [09:28] i had grub2 installed and working with burg. but I had some changes I made when I installed another kernel and now I'm stuck with 1.96 grub and I'm sure nothing is removed but rather a bad configuation or something.

[09:30] hello [09:30] How Can I improve the security of ubuntu [09:30] amarin: where do you feel it is weak ? [09:30] not much at the moment actually I just wish to improve it, maybe a new firewall [09:31] twiztid: yes and put the 2nd path into quotes too. make it "~/.wine/dosdevices/p:" or whatever drivletter [09:31] amarin: what's wrong with the current firewall ? [09:31] llutz_: ok on it... uno momento [09:31] ikonia: There is no tripwire [09:31] or is there [09:31] amarin: a firewall has nothing to do with tripwire [09:31] im not aware of one.

[09:32] amarin: be very aware of what tripwire will do before you install it [09:32] what will it do [09:32] amarin: I suggest you read up on what it is and what it does/how it works before you install it if you have to ask "what will it do" [09:32] amarin: if you have to ask that, you won't need it [09:33] lol [09:33] ok [09:33] amarin: is this machine your home PC ? [09:33] yeah [09:33] amarin: the odds of you needing or wanting tripwire on your machine are very slim, more so if you don't know what it even does [09:34] llutz_: ok so after inputting ln -s "/home/kady/.gvfs/pcdrive on xptwiztid" "/home/kady/.wine/dosdevices/d:\" i get the same > [09:34] hello [09:34] how to know my machine wpa-driver?

[10:57] is there anybody that I should direct my sound issue to?? or another chan that might be better able to assist me?? [10:58] dimmortal just ask it, if someone can help you they will :) [10:58] jhoc2x2, it seems more likely that the problem is the display driver and not the kernel itself [10:59] karla: uhmm.. so should I uninstall my radeon drivers first before booting to the latest kernel? [10:59] Hi all [10:59] hi friend [10:59] welcome [10:59] how do I check if my sound card is working on ubuntu 10.10 [11:00] jhoc2x2, are you using fglrx?? [11:00] jhoc2x2: You can use your old kernel until you have found out why this is occurring. [11:00] is there any way to catch all interrupt in shell? [11:00] karla: uhhm.. i think yes.. im using proprietary drivers [11:01] I have.. and got no reply.. the issue HAD a fix(a few years ago) which has since been broken and I find no solutions.. just others that complain about the same [11:01] the issue is with my lappys subwoffer not working (lenovo y530) [11:01] redbox: ok. I am now. [11:01] jhoc2x2, well then if 'modprobe fglrx' fails then the driver wasn't properly put in place for your kernel to use, install the corresponding kernel headers and retry [11:02] dimmortal, wish I could help you, but I wouldn't know where to start [11:02] karla: uhmm.. sorry but im not a pro here. will you enlighten me what you mean? [11:02] http://iheartlinux.wordpress.com/2008/12/31/dolby-surround-sound/ <<< this solution no longer works [11:03] and actually breaks the sound all together [11:03] ok, so i have a game installed on my windows disk, which i have mounted right now. When i try to launch the exe using wine, it says the file needs to be executable. I have tried chmod +x on the file, but everytime i check it afterwards, its showing as not executable again. Any ideas? [11:03] jhoc2x2, basically each time you install a new kernel, the proprietary radeon drivers are compiled from scratch, in order to do that the headers for that kernel version must be installed as well, make sure you have them [11:03] does it make a difference that the storage is ntfs? [11:03] MACscr, I think you may need to install it agin through WINE so it resides in WINES virtual file system [11:04] sxndave: i was told that was prefered, but not needed [11:04] karla: if you'r asking if i did properly install my video drivers, I did. infact Im using a very nice cube effects here.. [11:05] MACscr hmm, Ill go try a few myself now, see what happens [11:05] sxndave: seems to be happening with any exe within that drive [11:06] hey there! which package is command add-apt-repository from?

How do I disable these switches? [11:14] MagicJ, its xorg.conf, and if it's not there, make one :) [11:14] meld is still the best gui diff tool or is there something already on here also [11:14] i want to know if it is possible in orca to change the sound template... please someone help me [11:15] nandaran: vimdiff [11:15] ediff [11:15] i miss vi [11:15] karla - I meant x not z - ty - anyway, I will try making it, ty [11:16] will need to log off here to test I guess so b back soon [11:16] It would seem my main account is no longer part of the admin group. What commands might have caused this? [11:17] someone editing the /etc/groups (or respective /etc/gshadow/) file? [11:17] are you still part of the sudoers? [11:17] No. [11:18] But it doesn't seem to have removed me until after the restart I did a while ago. [11:18] are there any other logins? [11:18] Not with access to root. [11:18] And I don't have access to the box at the moment. [11:18] can you boot ubuntu single user? [11:19] Not sure. [11:19] not without access to the box. [11:19] single user mode does not start ssh daemons, [11:19] why are using a computer you dont have access too =/ [11:19] I'm at a university that performs heavy traffic shaping. [11:20] It's rather annoying. [11:20] hehe, so the box that he had found an explit has closed the hole and he's trying to find a way around... no? [11:21] karla - ty - that was what I needed [11:21] *exploit [11:21] MagicJ, yw [11:21] Hmm? [11:21] i want to use orca for hindi but the problem is that even when i choose the language, the accent is British. SO, i was wondering if speech template can be replaced [11:22] lemtzas: so you do or dont have access to the hardware? [11:22] lemtzas: it's ok. I __LOVED__ college for just this reason... [11:23] I can get access to it in a few days. [11:23] Just not right now. [11:23] I am pretty sure I need to figure out how to enable 'lenovo-sky' in the current version of alsa [11:23] helloooo [11:23] how can I get the current network bandwidth? [11:24] How can I tell shotwell not to display the image it imports? [11:24] karla: uhmm, going back to my problem, please tell me how to install headers of kernel 2.6.35-25 pls [11:24] it seems that the current alsa-base file contains nothing and adding anything to it just breaks the sound entirely [11:25] jhoc2x2, check in synaptic [11:25] iftop [11:25] davidcoe: use iftop [11:25] bazhang: by the way, im using Kubuntu 10.10 kernel 2.6.35-22 === lauri_ is now known as xormor [11:26] how do I delete useless stuff from my hard drive? [11:26] jhoc2x2, okay, apt-cache search header [11:26] now I only have about 200 meg free, I need at least 500 meg free. [11:26] xormor, 'rm -rf hey all, that may be a dumb question, but i'll fire anyway: How could I prevent Ubuntu 10.04 to automatically dim-log out after some time (1 precision: I previously set the Power Management settings to "Never" before) [11:26] xormor: what would you define as "useless" stuff? [11:26] karla: yes. and sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean, what other commands? [11:26] gaelfx: some useless videos, useless porn, useless temporary files. [11:27] sudo apt-get purge [11:27] why not simply click and delete? [11:27] xormor: select useless files with mouse, press delete button, empty trash can [11:27] it is probably easier to get to android via ubuntu? these both seem so user oriented linux's [11:27] lather, rinse, repeat [11:28] lol [11:28] unfortunately, linux is still without a "remove porn" command, so you sort of have to do it by hand [11:28] bazhang: after the cache search? [11:28] If there were a 'remove porn' command, what language would it be written in??? [11:28] yeah but ubuntu atleast resets tmp on boot right [11:29] karla: python [11:29] lol on that gae [11:29] lol on that gae [11:29] i should have installed squid on the host... since its bypassing all my malware blocking just cuz it went off defaults haha [11:30] * gaelfx takes his bow and tries to get back on topic [11:30] i didnt know so many of my favorite forums had so many ads for drugs! [11:30] I have chanhed my screen saver to gltext, at least the system indicates that I have changed it, however, when it does activate I still get the old "feet". I even re-booted and the changes have not taked. I have seen this before and knw that they eventually take, What do I need to do to make them take NOW! [11:30] hi can i fully remove package from ppa? i want to upload a new package with the same name and version. [11:31] does apt-p2p work automagically, or do I have to invoke it? also, does it need to be configured in any way? [11:31] drizt: sudo apt-get purge [11:31] drizt: then you have to remove the ppa from the system [11:32] that's such a weird ping timeout [11:32] sorry for newbie question: where to extract *.tar.bz2 - file to [11:33] profus2: home dir [11:33] profus2: depends what you're trying to do. what are you trying to do?

[11:33] Is there anyway to login using a script, and run a command? [11:33] profus2, any directory of your choosing, generally, use the -C option [11:33] would like to extract downloaded software and run it [11:33] drizt: oh, sorry, I misunderstood. I've never dealt with managing a ppa before, sorry [11:34] use ppa-purge ? [11:34] profus2, 'tar -C -jxf file.tar.bz2' [11:34] sudo ppa-purge -d ppa: [11:34] i have no problem extracting it, what is not clear to me [11:34] should I purge radeon drivers before upgrading kernels??? [11:34] gaelfx np [11:35] jhoc2x2, not really [11:35] is there somebody who can help me with ppa? [11:35] drizt, you want to remove the ppa? [11:35] is there a program directory to extract it to and afterwoods run it [11:35] karla: I updated my headers now , should i restart and try the new kernel? [11:35] a standard directory, I mean [11:35] sicopath: no, he's managing a ppa, wants to change the files in it [11:36] gaelfx, oh sorry, my bad [11:36] np [11:36] sicopath: no i want to remove package on ppa. then i want to upload package with the same name and version. [11:36] jhoc2x2, if you've seen some output related to 'dkms' then chances are that might work, go ahead then :) [11:36] hi, does the official ubuntu 10.10 ec2 server image support the binary nvidia driver and python-opencl? [11:36] how can i issue commands on boot (ie, login without using a keyboard) (console only) [11:36] drizt, ppa-purge? no?

[11:39] drizt, have you tried here -> #ubuntu-packaging [11:40] i only have a ps/2 keyboard. one system needs a usb keyboard. I'm trying to find out how to login and issue one command. The command gets the box online. Then I can ssh in from another computer. [11:40] sicopath, well you can, err, pass init=/bin/sh to the boot command [11:40] sxndave: thank you [11:41] karla, by modifying files? i have no keyboard access to this computer. But I can take the drive and transfer it to this computer.

[11:47] thanks for link gaelfx [11:49] karla: no luck after restarting.. [11:49] tw4n: i see people talk about it for other oses using canon's software or something.

[11:51] amit, you can use 64bit, yes [11:52] amit: you should be fine with that processor, ram req's are same as for 32 bit [11:52] jhoc2x2, honestly, an error that only outputs '-110' isn't one that's meant to be fixed - theoretically it should be working [11:52] thanx all of u [11:53] sicopath: so funny story, I got the onscreen keyboard...by using a physical keyboard :/ [11:53] plz tell me what difference i wil find related to s/w in 64bit compare to 32 bit?

[13:29] or for firewalled machines on lan [13:29] waperboy: seblabel: yeah, basically, it's for getting apt repos via p2p [13:30] this is very intersting [13:30] someday I should go through all the running processes (300+) on my Lucid and get rid of unnecessary stuff... heh [13:30] my thoughts exactly, I don't know why they haven't made it an official package yet, it's been around for quite a while [13:31] waperboy: well, it also helps to take some of the stress off of the servers [13:31] for example, why do I have 24 "ext4-dio-unwrit" processes? [13:31] brilliant idea imho... I wonder if by p2p proxy it means it'll start out using apt-get method and add p2p as it finds sources.

[13:59] anybody here? [14:00] llee, yes [14:00] i am a newer [14:00] yes hello [14:00] ye [14:00] me too [14:01] using ubuntu? [14:01] very interesting [14:01] hehe [14:01] where are you [14:01] yes [14:01] llee: something we can help you with? [14:01] with what [14:02] need help or just hanging out? :) [14:02] llee: this is an ubuntu help channel. ideally, you've come here to ask or answer a question. [14:02] hanging out, but thanks [14:03] llee: have a look in #ubuntu-offtopic, in that case. [14:07] I think X should understand that if an app opens an opengl frame the same as the current monitor (with duial monitors), it should create it only on that screen [14:07] *same size [14:07] waperboy: submit a patch to the X folks, then. [14:07] sipior, heck, you're right :) [14:07] I'm in the opensource world! [14:08] Now I can't be sure it's X's fault or nvidias - gotta be X's since you can make metamodes sortof deal with it [14:10] anyway, such a patch would then break expected behaviour, so it would probably not be axcepted [14:11] *accepted === alex88_ is now known as alex88 [14:11] holaaaaaaaaaa [14:11] alghuien habla español? [14:11] no [14:11] !es | NicolasX [14:11] NicolasX: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [14:12] thnx [14:14] natty is ubuntu vista [14:14] puppet009, welcome to discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:16] hi [14:17] i have just formatted my raid1 of 2*2TB and formatted it with ext4 using mkfs.ext4 .. then i mounted it and mapped a network drive with windows7.... the new network drive has already 100GB used.. whats wrong? [14:17] 1,69TB free of 1,79TB === qpwoei is now known as amit [14:17] i expect it to be 1,79TB free of 1,79TB since it is totally new [14:17] where would be the proper place to write a file with a pid to, when its a user program? ie i'm not root, so i can't write it to /var/run/app.pid [14:18] is there a userland version of /var/run/ ? [14:18] pw-toxic: probably reserved blocks [14:18] Hi, all. How does one go about connecting to wireless via the terminal? Obviously the network manager/applet does it for me, but I'd like to know how to connect through the terminal. [14:18] jeroendv: not that I know of, but as an example, emacs keeps stuff like that in a ~/.emacs/ subdir [14:18] deww, how can i disable this or what is this for? 100GB is a lot [14:18] pw-toxic: When you format a disk, about 5% is held back as reserved space === amit is now known as qpwoei [14:19] !wifi | markskilbeck please have a read [14:19] DJones, what for?! [14:19] markskilbeck please have a read: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:19] jeroendv: ~/.app.pid [14:19] Cheers bazhang [14:19] pw-toxix administrative purpose... [14:19] what would be a clue on whats wrong if screen switches to the 5 dot ubuntu logo then deadlocks even on a 5 minute old ubuntu install [14:19] so this is normal and i cant do anything against this? [14:20] pw-toxic: Just reading up, from http://boncey.org/2006_11_18_reclaiming_ext3_disk_space "When an ext2/3 filesystem is formated by default 5% is reserved for root. Reserved space is supposed to reduce fragementation and allow root to login in case the filesystem becomes 100% used." [14:20] not really pw-toxic [14:20] sometimes it deadlocks on picture, sometimes it just plai nreboots, now its switching to 5 dots then deadlocking. [14:20] i can't make an .exe execute, when i sudo chmod +x it does nothing, and if i go in nautilus it unchecks itself, why? [14:20] this is my 3rd install on a diff hdd this time too and still doing it 5 minutes after installing [14:20] llutz: thx, guess thats the best I guess [14:20] you should normally not do something against these 5%, pw-toxic [14:21] that is a safety net... [14:21] i have read and write access to the directory [14:21] jeroendv: create a subdir in /var/run and make it writeable for your user [14:21] its an ntfs drive if it matters [14:21] ruan: you gotta set tpermissions on mount options [14:21] pw-toxic, no hidden files or directories? [14:21] ruan: cant change perms on ntfs [14:22] another question: do you have an idea how i could find out why i can only write with 18,5 MB/s from a raid1 drive to another raid1 drive? the one raid1 is 2*500GB Western Digital and the new one im writing to is 2*2TB Hitachi [14:22] ruan: set fmask=0777,dmask=0777 [14:22] Aikar: thanks, but what is the exact command? [14:22] pw-toxic: is the RAID1 set brand new? is it still syncing? what does /proc/mdstat say ? [14:22] ruan: how are you mounting the drive? through Places? [14:22] pw-toxic, that is pretty bad [14:22] popey, its already snyced [14:22] ruan: if so, you need to add it to fstab [14:22] its auto mounted when i access it [14:22] ruan: yeah you need to add it to fstab [14:22] Aikar: ok [14:22] ruan: lookup how to add drives to fstab [14:23] it's sdc1 [14:23] ruan, you are not trying to start a .exe under linux, are you? [14:23] sdk: im doing it under wine [14:23] Aikar: a f/d/u-mask of 777 is pretty useless if you want to use a filesystem.. [14:23] markskilbeck: you can also read "man wireless" and "man interfaces" for information on 'hard-coding' wifi settings for start on boot... [14:23] pw-toxic, what does the disk utility benchmark for each array show? [14:23] mbeierl: Noted. Thanks. [14:23] llutz: why do you say that? [14:23] works for me [14:23] Ruan: dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1 ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0077,uid=1000,gid=winuser 0 0 [14:24] Aikar: fmask=0777 means permission are 0000 [14:24] compdoc, what is this tool and how can i install it? [14:24] markskilbeck: I haven't done that in a long time, so I can't help much there... [14:24] drexl: thanks [14:24] how to register in xchat? [14:24] !register | Octav [14:24] Octav: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [14:24] mbeierl: not a problem - thanks anyway :) [14:24] Octav, same as in other clients, /join #freenode [14:24] llutz: first bit isnt reversed but next 3 are? [14:24] is there a way i can stop the screen saver comming on if something is playing on youtube? [14:24] pw-toxic, it comes with the gonome desktop. try the command: palimpsest [14:25] i have an internal mic in my laptop and theres only one audio port in it in windows it asks what i plugged in when i plug something in(mic, headset, headphone) and i need to use a headset in linux how can i do it? [14:25] g0rby, set screensaver time limit to longer or off [14:25] markskilbeck: oh. this explains it ... that's what I used long ago and it looks like it still works: /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README.Debian [14:25] and what should i do there exactly? [14:25] I thin kI have a conflict between firestarter and ufw... is there a way to stop it? it results in ufw being disabled each time I reboot... [14:25] mbeierl: :D thanks! [14:26] Aikar: 1st number = suid/sgid/sticky [14:26] pw-toxic, benchmarks - tests the speed of the arrays to see which is the slowest [14:26] /dev/sdc1 /mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g [14:26] pw-toxic, did you align the partition on the new array? [14:26] compdoc align? [14:26] markskilbeck: but in my case, it was a fixed wireless, not a roaming style "detect networks and auto join". would that work for what you're wanting to do? [14:26] shomon: what do you want to use? ufw? then remove firestarter [14:27] so to my problem. im having issues with ubuntu either (Deadlockfrozepicture|Auto Reboot|SwitchTo5DotsThenDeadLock). I've tried full memtest on memory,, ive tried reinstalling ubuntu, ive tried reinstalling to a different harddrive, ive reseated video card and ensured all cables were connected well. but the problem persists. any ideas? [14:27] i'll be right back then [14:27] it also happens whilst maximised [14:28] just with apt get remove? erUSUL ? [14:28] flash usually triggers the problem fast [14:28] I like firestarter's ability to show me what ti blocks... but it tends to take up 90% cpu... [14:28] markskilbeck: alternatively I think wicd can do roaming style stuff from the cli: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ It's a networkmanager replacement [14:28] compdoc "The disk seems to have usage 'filesystem' - write benchmarking requries the disk to be completley empty" why cant i make read write tests when the partition isnt completley empty? [14:28] shomon: that sould work [14:28] mbeierl: fixed network [14:28] pw-toxic, yeah, most large drives use 4k sectors, and if you dont create the first partition correctly, the speed suffers greatly, or so Im told. the latest gparted creates them correctly now, as long as you accept the defaults [14:28] I'm just trying to learn how to connect to my home wireless [14:28] ok thanks! === WamPIRe_ is now known as wampire__ [14:28] pw-toxic, just do a read test [14:29] compdoc, i create the partition with mkfs.ext4 manually [14:29] I use ext4 too [14:29] compdoc, a read test shows 90MB/s for my raid1 [14:29] not bad [14:29] but for a 2TB raid1 drive it should be more like 200 MB/s [14:29] markskilbeck: then hard coding it into /etc/network/interfaces should do the trick. [14:30] ok its been several hrs... maybe someone has woke that can help with my lappys subwoffer not workin?? [14:30] apperently this used to work(2.5 years ago) >>> http://iheartlinux.wordpress.com/2008/12/31/dolby-surround-sound/ <<< but now it doesn't work [14:31] dimmortal, open alsamixer and make sure the LFE ctrl is on (00) and turned up [14:31] there is not a lfe in alsa mixer [14:31] starting bluetooth device on my laptop disables networkmanager. tried restarting networkmanager but didn't work. nm-applet shows "networking disables". [14:32] !bluetooth [14:32] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [14:32] lol, my drive keeps renaming itself. first sdc1, then sda1, then sdb1 [14:32] i cant fstab it [14:32] dimmortal, then make sure you have alsa-utils installed [14:33] it is [14:33] ruan: use UUIDs [14:33] llutz: ok [14:34] ok how do i get the UUID? [14:34] does alsamixer show your soundcard model , dimmortal ? [14:34] ruan: use UUIDs from sudo blkid [14:34] ruan, sudo blkid [14:34] llutz: ok thanks [14:34] ruan: are you changing order in bios? [14:34] ruan, blkid, I think [14:34] Aikar: they're in the same order, but they rename [14:34] Hm. sudo ifup wlan0 tells me wlan0 is unknown interface [14:34] sudo, yes [14:35] ok, so fstab works with uuid? [14:35] ruan: in fact, it works better with uuid :-) [14:35] 1A1433381433166B /mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g [14:35] so, this will work? [14:36] ruan: yes, use "UUID= /mount/point ...." instead of "/dev/sdXY /mnt/pnt/..." [14:36] ruan: have a look at "man fstab" [14:36] can anyone help me with the bluetooth issue? [14:36] ubuntu uses uuid by default in fstab now [14:36] UUID=1A1433381433166B /mnt/ntfs ntfs-3g === Octav is now known as aretx [14:38] like that, right? [14:38] it shows one of them at the top(intel cantiga hdmi).. the other one alc888(the one I want to use) I don't see [14:38] Why would apache not point to index.html? I checked the DirectoryIndex setting inside of the http.d file inside of http/conf and it points to index.html but when i go to my server nothing shows up unless i specify index.html ex. abc.com/index.html [14:38] UUID=43b49db3-ccc0-469a-9266-c82c54a2cbf5 /two2TB ext4 defaults 2 2 [14:38] thats one of mine [14:39] !who | dimmortal [14:39] dimmortal: 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 :) [14:40] dimmortal, you probly have to make the missing card the default in your BIOS [14:40] BluesKaj: it shows one of them at the top(intel cantiga hdmi).. the other one alc888(the one I want to use) I don't see [14:40] What do I have to do in order to run a program automatically when i login? (from a console) [14:41] thanks, it worked [14:41] sicopath: the .bashrc or .profile is the place to set specic variables and so forth. [14:41] sicopath: depends on what you are running exactly [14:41] Dr_Willis, can't sicopath use crontab or at to set up jobs pointing to scripts? [14:41] I'm running debian on my wii. I do not have keyboard access. In order to enable network, you need to login as root (i have this done) and run a script. [14:41] BluesKaj: there is no setting in the bios.. the one its detecting is is part of the video card and is connected to the one I want to use for the internal speakers [14:41] --> "depends on what you are running exactly" [14:41] :) [14:42] once I enable network, i can ssh in [14:42] sicopath: that would best be done from /etc/rc.local [14:42] is there a way to get hdmi audio working without removing pulse? [14:42] set up the commands in there to do networking and other tweaks. [14:42] gaelfx: hdmi audio works for me [14:42] gaelfx: with pulse [14:43] popey: did you have to do any tweaking? or does your card have an spdif pass through? [14:44] BluesKaj: what I need to figure out is how to enable "lenovo-sky" in the current version of alsa for the alsa-base file seems to contain nothing any more and adding the line that would have fixed it in the past breaks sound all together [14:44] mine is not a built-in card either [14:45] the only time I can get hdmi audio working is using smplayer and setting the audio output to one of the four hdmi sound devices that shows up in alsa [14:45] http://paste.linuxassist.net/215583 <--- Can someone help me with this issue?

[15:06] it's just root/whiite for l/p [15:07] with reconnect my pppoe after hibernate [15:07] sicopath: you should try to get more specific help in #gc-linux on oftc [15:07] sicopath: look on the card.. see whats what.. if you mean the 'root' users home that would be under 'root' the / is also called the root of the filesystem. [15:07] Is the ubunts version of X special, or could I use build sources from x.org? [15:07] waperboy: why do you want to build from source ? [15:07] i'm in #gc-linux :) they're quiet [15:07] waperboy: it's a very complex process with strict dependencies, [15:07] i mean /root folder [15:07] waperboy: theres updated 'X' ppa's out there. [15:07] that's where script is, i was going to look at it [15:07] my graphics card has hdmi with a built-in device for audio over hdmi, and I know that alsa sees 4 different devices, though I'm pretty sure only one of them actually works (or at least so it seems). I can get audio to come out of hdmi, but if it's going through pulse it sounds like crap, whereas in smplayer, I can tell it which alsa device to use and get decent sound. how can I teach pulse to use the right device? [15:07] sicopath: it is offtopic here, this is neither debian nor wii support :) [15:07] might tell me what files it's editing [15:08] sicopath: '/root' would be the root users home directory.. the path is.. /root/ [15:08] true :0 very true! my bad [15:08] vpark: I recommend compiling it all from source, the binary install scatters stuff all over the place. [15:08] I'm on ubuntu asking help, but I see that I am totally off! [15:08] thinking about looking into the sources to make implement something :) [15:08] Help Installing x2go: gpg: keyserver timed out gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error [15:08] hhhzzzarn: you've been told it won't work on 10.04 [15:08] hhhzzzarn: if the keyserver is down.. we cant do anythiung about that. [15:08] hhhzzzarn: the document you are using is for 9.04 [15:08] hhhzzzarn: install it without using the gpg keyss perhaps. [15:09] * Dr_Willis still dosent know what x2go is. [15:09] ikonia, your help is useless. [15:09] Dr_Willis (or is that Druce Willis ;) - nice, I'll check it out [15:09] because i have told you. there is no other guide to 10.04 [15:09] others have said it does work. [15:09] hhhzzzarn: then ask the others how to do it, the ones who said it does work [15:09] hhhzzzarn: you have checked the forums? it could be the keyserver is just temparly down. [15:09] gaelfx, have you tried using alsa directly without pulseaudio ? [15:09] hhhzzzarn: we don't control the 3rd party repos, if they are down, we can't make them be up [15:10] BluesKaj: nope, but does that involve removing pulse? [15:10] 2.6.35(and later) kernel, no snd-hda-intel line (tinny sound)... 2.6.35(and later) kernel, with snd_hda_intel model=lenovo-sky (no sound)... 2.6.32and prior) kernel, with snd_hda_intel model=lenovo-sky (working sound) ... I am not the only one having this problem... the bug is marked "Triaged" with no solution bug#662009 [15:10] gaelfx, yes [15:10] Sorry about the slow response time, doing a bit too much at once. The servcice tftpd-hpa restart command didn't work either, here is the error as well as the contents of the tftpd-hpa file that I configured originally. http://paste.ubuntu.com/572203/ [15:11] Hi guys. i'm using tuxonice and need reconnect my pppoe connect after hibernate by default. How can i do it without network-manager? [15:11] BluesKaj: I would really rather not. I know I can get the sound to come out, I think the problem is that alsa is reporting 4 devices on my graphics card where only one really works, so pulse doesn't know which one to use [15:11] bmccomb: can you do a "service" stop instead of restart, does that work ? [15:11] BluesKaj: hence my asking about how to teach pulse to do it right [15:12] Nope. [15:12] Help wanted: anybody have a clue as to why my pc is stopping just during load of the GNOME from a liveCD of 10.10? [15:12] heloo [15:12] bmccomb: similar error [15:12] hff [15:12] or I guess alsa might also be the culprit in some sense [15:12] bmccomb: sorry, that was a question [15:12] try download again [15:12] Yes, it is. [15:12] stop: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.59" (uid=1000 pid=2125 comm="stop) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Stop" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")) [15:12] bmccomb: how very annoying, it looks like the package you want to use has a bug in it's upstart script [15:13] hje841: the option silent splash i think is the culprit [15:13] Woo. [15:13] bmccomb: ahhh [15:13] takpa [15:13] bmccomb: wait, I'm being dumb [15:13] Question - instead of explaining to my co worker how to properly split root and home partitions, I figured it might be easier to make a video about it. Question is, can I use GTK-RecordMyDesktop from a LiveCD? I'd have to install it and save the video to an external source, but I'm just curious if it's possible. [15:13] bmccomb: sudo service restart, don't forget sudo [15:13] drexl: sorry? [15:13] maybela [15:13] ! of course. Haha. [15:13] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:13] hje841: what is your video card/chipset? [15:13] hje841: I have the same problem I can only install it [15:13] bmccomb: sorry, missed the obvious there, only noticed when it complained about the user id [15:14] Dr_Willis, so let's say I add a 'apt-get install X'. How in the script can I make it press "Y" to continue? [15:14] That did it. I should have noticed that as well really. [15:14] Thanks. :) [15:14] Roasted_: you could. be sure to tell the recordmydesktop to save its temp files and final files somewhere other then the ram of the system :) [15:14] how i can reconnect my pppoe? [15:14] Dr_Willis: some onboard thingy on an shuttle pc [15:14] Dr_Willis, I added that to /etc/rc.local [15:14] sicopath: apt-get has a -y option i belive. or some similer 'yes' option [15:14] sicopath: yes| apt-get blah [15:14] oh [15:14] sicopath: that would be very weird running apt-get from rc.local [15:14] llutz, Dr_Willis thanks [15:14] Dr_Willis, i'm in a weird spot :) [15:14] gaelfx, well to each his own , but to me pulseaudio is just an another layer of unecessary audio processing which is why your audio sounds crappy , without it my audio is pretty good , considering it's just an onboard chip. [15:15] hje841: I'm not sure how to boot it without the silent splash option === root is now known as HerrBert [15:15] drexl: edit the boot line (hit e) when you see the grub menu. and edit out the options - is one way [15:15] anyone can help me with pppoe reconnect? [15:15] drexl: or edit /etc/default/grub to make it the default [15:16] I'm trying to run a 32 bit application on my 64 bit ubuntu installation - I have already copiued over some 32bit libs to /usr/lib32/ in order for the application to run, however it's still giving errors. Any ideas as to how I can fix it? http://paste.ubuntu.com/572208/ [15:16] If I were to roll out Ubuntu in a network environment with a Windows server, is there a way to make Ubuntu "read" LDAP so users can log in with domain accounts? [15:16] Dr_Willis: ya I did that, someone else here can't get the cd rom to boot [15:16] oh c'one guys [15:16] Roasted_: sure, but it is a read only connection, not read/write for password updates [15:17] sdf [15:17] drexl: for my nvidia systems - i MUST use the 'nomodeset' option for them to boot properly. [15:17] Roasted_: you need an ldap proxy or a service such as redhats directory service to do updates [15:17] ikonia, I'm not sure I understand what you just said there... [15:17] drexl: hit space when you see the man icon at the bottom (first thing in boot() and then hit F6 for the options) [15:17] ikonia, what updates? [15:17] Roasted_: to users passwords for example [15:17] updates like users changeing their password.? [15:17] Hi. I'm trying to get my wireless connection up, on Ubuntu 10.04. I do see a wlan0 device, but it does not say CLAIMED or UNCLAIMED or ENABLED or DISABLED, which is what https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html said to check. [15:17] ikonia, I'm not following what you're referring to in regard to user password updates. What gets updated? What needs updated? [15:18] guys help, I thikn I am crazy. 'sudo apt-get install biblatex' says: 'biblatex is already the newest version.' but when I write biblatex I get: 'biblatex: command not found'. What am I doing wrong? [15:18] how do I troubleshoot my wireless connection? [15:18] Roasted_: when a user changes their password it is updated in the ldap schema, if you are using AD only windows machines can update it, the Linux ones can auth against it, but not update it [15:18] !wifi | atsaloli2 [15:18] atsaloli2: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:18] ikonia, are you talking in reference to when passwords expire? [15:18] Dr_Willis: my shuttle pc stalls when reaching the login screen on normal boot from 9.10. and during loading of GNOME when on [15:18] a 10.10 liveCD [15:18] ,hi [15:18] !hi [15:19] Roasted_: no, just any reason for a user to change their password, eg: they just want to [15:19] jonalv: dpkg -L biblatex|grep "/usr/bin/" [15:19] anybody have a clue how to add multiple DB's or DB users to phpmyadmin? this ubuntu config for it is baffling. [15:19] ikonia, oh, we're in a school district here. We don't allow users to just change passwords, however we force automatic password changes every 90 days. [15:19] ikonia, excluding students. [15:19] ikonia, all teachers/staff get the auto change. [15:19] Roasted_: ok, so they would have to change that from a windows machine, or you'd have to have a linux ldap-> windows AD proxy [15:20] when I click on the little double arrows icon on my task bar and the networks menu pops up, under Wireless Networks it says "disconnected". How do I connect? [15:20] llutz: wow thanks, was that missing in the install script or soemthing? [15:20] ikonia, so it COULD work - they just wouldnt auto-change the passwords when prompted through ubuntu. [15:20] anyone updated to the new *.*.35-25 kernel ?? [15:20] ikonia, however, we're talking ubuntu for students, so they would never see password changes on the ubuntu systems. [15:20] jonalv: whats the output of that command? it actually changes nothing [15:20] Roasted_: sounds fine [15:20] !anyone | jhoc2x2 [15:20] jhoc2x2: 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. [15:21] jhoc2x2 yeh [15:21] ikonia, my main concern is in windows, we auto-redirect their my documents to be the \\server\student\john_smith. I'm wondering if there's a way to re-direct their home folder, or at least a folder on the desktop to do the same thing. [15:21] gaelfx, my audio pcm pass thru from alsa works well into the DAC on my HT receiver , so most of the audio processing is done in the receiver not the soundcard . Any audio processing in the pc is done thru alsa in the digital domain, therefore it remains relatively clean right thru the card without pulseaudio in the mix. [15:21] 2.6.35-25 <<< this one >>???? [15:21] jonalv: from what i read, that is only a library, nothing you can run directly [15:22] llutz: ah yea you are right, (I might be goign crazy), no output [15:22] my wireless interface driver is driver=b43-pci-bridge [15:22] llutz: but where is the executable with that name hiding then? [15:22] jhoc2x2: You need to ask a question about it. [15:22] jhoc2x2, yes, got it through update tool [15:22] how do I connect to a wireless network? [15:23] ikonia, do you by chance know if thats a possibility? [15:23] jonalv: it has no binary, i don't know how to use it, i guess you have to include it into your tex-projects [15:23] !wifi | atsaloli2 [15:23] atsaloli2: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:23] Roasted_: yes, that should be do-able, the AD-ldap schema is quite configurable [15:24] jonalv: check http://www.hep.man.ac.uk/u/jenny/jcwdocs/latex/bibtexbasics.html [15:24] llutz: there shuold be a standalone binary which you run. At least that's how it works on my mac. And bibtex is not the same as biblatex [15:24] jonalv: oh sry [15:24] atsaloli2: NetworkManager nm-connection-editor nm-applet [15:25] llutz: oh that's no problem, perhaps you are good with apt though and can help me find the executable? [15:25] drexl: how do I get into NetworkManager, please? [15:25] atsaloli2: it's a daemon i think [15:25] jonalv: only thing with related is: biblatex-dw - Biblatex styles for humanities [15:25] ok === BernardV_ is now known as BernardV [15:26] jonalv: lacks a binary too. [15:26] atsaloli2: type nm-connection-editor into your terminal and see if anything pops up [15:26] atsaloli2, can you pastebin the result of ---> sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [15:26] llutz: hm, I guess I should try some biblatex page on the intertubes then... [15:26] atsaloli2, it should be running already, somewhere top right there should be a wifi icon [15:27] Disabling the quiet splash boot on the live CD I see that it stops right after "saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned" [15:27] anysuggestions? [15:27] g_0_0: "iwlist wlan0 scan" returns: wlan0 No scan results [15:27] jonalv: http://www.charlietanksley.net/pdf/latex-footnote-citations.pdf just an addon to be referenced in your latex-files [15:28] atsaloli2, it doesn't sound like your wireless is working yet, you'll need to get it working before you can connect, follow the info already given to for wireless troubleshooting [15:28] !wifi | atsaloli2 [15:28] atsaloli2: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [15:28] drexl: nm-connection-editor window popped up, thanks. how do i get the list of available networks? (it doesn't show any) (I guess it won't if "iwlist wlan0 scan" does not return any, hey?) [15:30] atsaloli2: you can create one but if your nm-applet is working and wlan0 is up and running it usually creates a profile for you named auto [15:30] g_0_0: I can see my wifi interface in "lshw -C network" [15:30] atsaloli2, yeah but you haven't got the driver installed correctly yet [15:30] g_0_0: and the driver is loaded [15:30] g_0_0: that's as far as the documentation goes [15:30] atsaloli2: what does sudo ifconfig wlan0 up do? [15:30] g_0_0: where is the documentation for how to do that? [15:31] !wifi | atsaloli2 [15:31] Hi I was watching a video on youtube and all of a sudden the sound stopped [15:31] !wifi > atsaloli2 [15:31] atsaloli2, please see my private message [15:31] Now sound isn't working at all [15:32] llutz: I am sorry, I didn't wuite follow, are you still thinking there is no executable? [15:32] drexl: ifconfig wlan0 shows it is UP [15:32] * [15:32] then add the applet to your panel and then you should see some available networks if any [15:33] jonalv: yes, without deeper research. for me that is just a library you can use in your latex-files [15:33] drexl: I don't see any available networks. :( I know there are networks available. [15:34] atsaloli2, pastebin the result of ifconfig wlan0 [15:34] hmm... how would i go about this.. i want rails only to update the "password" attribute, if it is not empty... [15:34] atsaloli2: iwlist scanning should reveal some networks [15:34] otherwise just ignore it [15:34] llutz: I am sorry you do not trust me. I have used the program on my Mac, it is both a latex package and a standalone program. It's a bibliography generator. The standalone program generates files with the bibliographeis which the package then includes in the document. At least that is how it works on my other computer... :) [15:35] wlan0 No scan results [15:35] hmm hi there... I am a bit perplexed that on meerkat amd64, my cpu scaling is not supported (cpu freq) doesn't work, which I most certianly need to on this buid.so I thought I'd compile a new ubuntu kernel branch for myself but it seems cpufreq is available by default sigh. ideaS? known issu(s) or? B. I was wondering how large the 2.6.35-ubuntu kernel compilation dirs take up? roughyl.. could an6yone hint to me, as I wish to try and se [15:35] e if I can keep it under 1.5 GB and compile it in my ram :) [15:35] jonalv: mac == os x? this is linux [15:35] atsaloli2: that means it' [15:35] erm I think some lines got eaten up :/ [15:35] sorry working but there are no networks in range [15:35] llutz: yea I run it on os x, but it hsould work the same on Ubuntu linux [15:36] Dr_Willis, last question, I promise. Could I just use vmware server on Ubuntu(x64). Use this to emulate ppc and run the SD card? [15:36] jonalv: which version of ubuntu are you running? i have biblatex on my 9.10 box. [15:36] jonalv: there might be a package doing what you want, but none of those two in the apt-repos will do [15:36] Is there a way to make Ubuntu laptops connect to wireless in the area before the user even logs in? [15:36] roasted, well you can set up a ddaeom onr cronjob to do so but you would need to have either a password,known network or similar [15:36] sipior: You know, I don't actually know. how do I find out? [15:37] Roasted_, [15:37] jonalv: "lb_release -a" [15:37] jonalv: "lsb_release -a" [15:37] llutz: yea, thanks for your help anyway [15:37] daemon or cronjob [15:37] sipior: 10.04.2 LTS [15:38] jonalv: and i assume "apt-cache search biblatex" turned up nothing? [15:38] drexl: I know for sure there are networks in range [15:38] g_0_0: http://pastebin.com/58CFQHAy [15:38] so is there some reason why cpufreq wouldn't be 'enabled' or working under meerkat 64, ona desktop with recognised components? [15:38] that's ifconfig wlan0 output [15:38] lolcatz, well like with Windows, it connects to the wireless network even before the user logs in. That way when a domain user logs in, it can authenticate. With Linux, though, it doesn't connect until a local user is already logged in, which begs the obvious question - how in the flippin world am I supposed to use a wireless Linux system with LDAP? [15:38] what can I do to reduce lag time between me typing and seeing what I typed over ssh on a really slow network connection? [15:38] sipior: only two packages which don't do the trick, one seems to contain the latex package but no executable [15:39] jonalv: what are their names? [15:39] atsaloli2: what does iwconfig output? [15:39] sipior: biblatex and biblatex-dw === erkan^2 is now known as erkan^ [15:39] drexl Dr_Willis: I solved the problem. A pci soundcard was fried somehow. after I removed that it booted fine :) [15:39] guy i am using ubuntu 10.10 [15:40] well Roasted_ , im no network wiz unfortunately but I would imagine you would want to write a deamon servrver for your laptop which when initialised before login attempts to connect to your netowrks... eg, you can also add a user to a certian group say wifi which does not requitre to be logge din to executer some shell commands [15:40] problem is that when I try to use "updatedb" it no longer recognizes that command [15:40] here's my lshw -C network output: http://pastebin.com/U40znnTXhttp://pastebin.com/U40znnTX [15:40] hje841: curious mabey that's my problem, my computers full of old junk [15:40] http://pastebin.com/U40znnTX [15:41] but I am wary of trying to give soem examples, as I can not vouch for thesecurity safety of my porposal.. a network admin or so would be a better reply but it is perfectly possible Roasted_ , and that is at least your first step right? :) [15:41] root@myhp:~# iwconfig wlan0 [15:41] wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any [15:41] Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm [15:41] Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off [15:41] Encryption key:off [15:41] atsaloli2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[15:47] how to port it with LDAP and stuff I have no idea about, sorry [15:47] drexl & lolcatz: It started happening this morning.

[15:47] hahha 'for much' is relative eh ;) [15:47] sipior: yea I just realised that too, jonalv takes a step back. He was wrong. But then, why does his bibliography turn up on his mac and not on his Ubuntu machine? [15:47] LOL [15:47] but ya it doesn thave to be that hehe.. but hmm it does sound like a malicious script. not random garble.. given files turn into folders etc [15:48] thats just *weird* [15:48] lolcatz, malicious script on Ubuntu?

[15:50] compiz-simple or no .. the erm cc [15:50] - Is there a flag to execute a program so that I don't need to keep the terminal window open to run that program? I installed Juniper Network Connect which needed a small hack to get to work, but now I launch via terminal and it pops up the application but if i close or ctrl+c the terminal the app dies. [15:50] its a compiz plugin metallico which [15:50] Been awhile but can i launch it in the background then close the window or? [15:50] drexl, any idea how they may have gotten messed up?

This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [15:52] Snakkah: you may have write permissions offf on configuration files which the system needs to write to in order to update settings, I don't know [15:52] jrib: thanx now m going to install 64bit [15:52] amit: ok [15:52] how do I get update.db to work again? [15:52] on the contrary, linux is more thn anything, an example of how good people can actually be, in comparison to the cyncial world of corporate f***S.. but yet due to how our world is so retarded, we get a lot of youngsters growing up, and being 'lolcats' , but linux lil by little will take over we hope before this corporate policy systems with the added paranoia in some western countries with power takes too much control over citizens :) [15:52] !repeat [15:52] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[15:53] btw.. can anyone here tell me ifI could keep a kernel compile to under ~1.5 GB? [15:53] on a dual core [15:53] chezni, what applications do you want? [15:53] chezni: you can try ubuntu off the cd before installing with the desktop cd [15:54] that is weird that I would lose permission to that command [15:54] hi everyone [15:54] I used to be able to do it all the time!!! [15:54] chezni... if no particular specialised applications, then a slong as you have a 'normal' brand/model it should be pretty fine.. what have you got chezni? [15:54] sipior: thanks for your help, I ran bibtex manually and now it works, I wonder if there was some sort of bug in latexmk that bit me... [15:54] anyway thanks [15:55] compdoc amsn, weechat and vlc media player [15:55] which model have u got (laptop) chezni? [15:55] lolcatz it would be the samsung n150 [15:55] how can i know my motherboard support upto how much ram? [15:55] amit: mnufacturers site or manual [15:55] go for the dekstop cd, as they say load the live cd and try but sound sliek that should be fine [15:56] amit: lol erm go to manufacturers website? :) [15:56] the ram support is hardware specific to the motherboard , not OS [15:56] thanks [15:56] ActionParsnip: is there npt any command like lshw from terminal to know this? [15:56] the kernels of linux on modern distros will handle anythinogn you would use today realistically, so it is your mobo bus which will determine that [15:56] amit: doubtful. What make /model is the motherboard? [15:57] chezni [15:57] oh [15:57] sorry tits a netbook [15:57] oh yea sorry thats what i meant [15:57] tits ya [15:58] hmm you will have to ask others.. I helped a friend install ubuntu netbook edition on an atom and it was slower than xp and i felt stupid as she wanted it to go faster for her trip to asia [15:58] so I am a bit wary on the netbook editions [15:58] lol drexl, I meant its* [15:58] or tis* === Look is now known as Guest81011 [15:58] ;) [15:58] so probably better off to get an older laptop for cheap than a netbook? === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [15:59] i installed python3.1 through the maverick backport and want to use the new version, but system still runs the old version [15:59] chezni.. no, I can't vouch for how well various distros generally run on the netbooks.. but if the size doesnt matter, I would recommend for performance that option yes... but not if the size is paramount for ya :) [15:59] ecolitan: How are you trying to use it?

I have tried looking around on the internet from another computer, but havent been lucky to find an answer. :-) [16:00] haha ok sorry iI will be quiet..

[16:03] haha its cool Fjodor , im a chat moster myself and always like to mix up sincere chat with garbage, a la D. Adams say ;p [16:03] monster* [16:03] lolcatz: the ramdisk should be fine [16:03] lolcatz: :-D [16:03] what is the exact name of "Startup Applications" in Ubuntu? I want to start it from terminal. [16:03] hi all...i am trying to export all email from Lotus Notes from a laptop whose display just died(have it hooked to external display) to my Ubuntu machine [16:03] i am runnning one video on one website and its not saved there in /tmp neither in /home/user/tmp [16:03] help [16:03] ok, as I saw soem examples claiming it cwould grow to 4-5 GB but that is perhaps some poor chooices in compile flags.. thank you ActionParsnip [16:03] hey people when I try to install something the synaptic just downloads very very very slow [16:04] AbhijiT: try youtube-dl [16:04] its not youtube [16:04] the problem is not at downloading it is in dns look up like things [16:04] muneeb, , I would imagine that is an internal command to the gnome-panel [16:04] i cant seem to be able to figure out how to get mails out of notes [16:04] ActionParsnip, its not youtube [16:04] Pici: thanks for the tip! [16:04] it is not a stand-along window , I dont think [16:04] muneeb, gnome-session-properties [16:04] ActionParsnip - It just lists up alot of infos. [16:04] AbhijiT: if it uses flash to play video it'll most likely work the same [16:04] ActionParsnip, okay [16:05] lolcatz: My latest compile was of 1.6.38-rc6 and the dir weighs in at 1,5G so YMMW... [16:05] uXu: yes, read it and one line will say: product: and tell you what wireless chip you have [16:05] heeh fjodor.. sa i hvilken by, kommer den danske fra? [16:05] Hey, had Ubuntu 10.10 for a week or so now, but I've just noticed that when starting up, I don't get a screen like this anymore: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_85DjSgDVlqU/S92tAZFWY7I/AAAAAAAAAZE/culvD56IihM/s400/boot.png [16:05] lolcatz, yo... seems as if "available to all users" in network manager is all I had to do. [16:05] compdoc, thanks I'll try.. [16:05] rick_2047: is your repositories list set to a mirror in your counrty? [16:05] ok but 1.6 Oo wow... [16:05] muneeb, dont forget sudo [16:05] lolcatz, I enabled it and @ login screen did a CTRL ALT F2 and ran ifconfig, and I had an IP. I went back, disabled it, rebooted, CTRL ALT F2 and ifconfig again, no IP... [16:05] drexl: yup, everything at in.ubuntu.com [16:05] hey all. im having a really bad week. i just cant install maverick netbook edition on moms dell mini 9. after blaming her for picking a computer with a cheapo 4gb ssd disk, im feeling really frustrated with these errors everywhere. first it was the 'ui' keyword in the syslinux file, then the initrmfs 'could not find a live device', and a long list. i am asking as a last attempt before downgrading again to lucid lynx. if anyone ... [16:05] alex|_: if youy are refering tot he plymouth animation it can have issues with the nvidia or ati drivers. so you may not see it. or it may show up wrongly [16:05] ... succesfully installed maverick on a dell mini 9 , plese be so kind to let me know. thanks :() [16:06] Roasted_, ! see, the experienced ones always know what they talk about.. I am liek George Double_U Bush: SPeak out of my arse, then I attempt to think and realise I can't think as my answer has no true meaning to the question! [16:06] compdoc, where are these preferences stored if i want to edit it manually? [16:06] ;) [16:06] 42!!!! [16:06] Dr_Willis: It seems to be replaced with something else. I am using NVidia drivers [16:06] lolcatz: Originally from a outside a small village near the German border, but I've been in Århus for close to 13 years now. For the sake of others, I keep this in English, but where are you situated? [16:06] ActionParsnip, but the problem is why it done save the video to /tmp as usual? whats wrong? [16:06] It's sort of a very basic and horrible-looking version [16:06] lolcatz, I have no idea what you just said. [16:06] alex|_: plymouth has themes.. but i just disable plymouth [16:06] ActionParsnip - It gives me some kind og RTL number. [16:06] alex|_: sounds like classic nvidia drivers fighting with plymouth. [16:06] Holland: but originally London... however kinda lived in the fjords an dmountains of Norway village smyself for a good 2 decades or so ;) [16:07] Roasted_, I know :) [16:07] (neither did I) [16:07] lolcatz, I like your style. [16:07] :D [16:07] no one equal to me, no one below! [16:07] ActionParsnip, youtube-dl is working btw [16:07] uXu: yes, what is it? [16:07] lolcatz: Ah, ok. That explains your knowledge of the language then :-) [16:08] AbhijiT: sweet, saves messing with /tmp nonesense [16:08] ActionParsnip - Can i PM? [16:08] ja.. mAske det :) [16:08] ActionParsnip, ok [16:08] uXu: its a single line so is ok to paste here [16:08] lolcatz: I'll have to be off for the Friday bar right about now, though, but we might run into each other another time :-) [16:08] Ha det gott! :-) [16:08] Got a issue with ath9k on Eeepc 1101ha, can t get 802.11n to work. [16:08] 1.6 is quite an ancient kernel OMG.. but hmm I just don't want to run out of space when compiling 'forever'.. but then again... if I run it on ramdisk lets say 20-25 times faster.. so a 3 hour com0ile would be only 01 mins [16:08] RTL-8139/8139C/8129+ ActionParsnip [16:08] so I guess I should just go for it! [16:09] ok Fjodor , have a nice one! :) [16:09] A type fail, this is what is says: RTL-8139/8139C/8139+ ActionParsnip [16:09] lolcatz: And ok, I meant, of course 2.6.38-rc6 :-$ [16:09] Roasted_, my point was that hmm, I won't be your best bet on solving your problem.. [16:09] PhoenixSTF: not all chips can do n speed under lInux [16:09] lolcatz, I wasn't asking for help. I was telling you how I solved the question I asked you about earlier :P [16:09] I have a problem while bootin from the ubuntu 10.10 i386 CD. I get this error: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed [16:10] aaaaaaah Niceee I want to do the 38 as it inivolves soem more OC settings I could need as I build OC comps.. (oooh I love having a stable 24/7 4.1 GHz comp :P) [16:10] where the preferences of gnome-session-properties are stored, i want to edit it manually? [16:10] oh, but yyou said it didn't work when you rebooted back in [16:10] ? [16:10] ActionParsnip, well i got the AR9285 chip [16:10] PhoenixSTF, which version of ubuntu? [16:10] Roasted_, I mean... ye I know I saw it and was nice to see hwo easy it was .. but then it seemd you hit another issue? [16:10] ActionParsnip - Got an idea? [16:10] Fjodor, but 38 isn't int he maverick line [16:10] stianhj, maverick 32bit [16:10] lolcatz, well I had 2 questions, 1 was solved [16:10] the other, not yet :P [16:11] PhoenixSTF: you may benefit from installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-maverick-generic [16:11] uXu: let me websearch [16:11] ActionParsnip - :-) [16:11] and I do want to be able to update it so, althoguh I will also compile a 38 and test out IF the ramdisk holds up :) [16:11] anyone knows a good webscrapping program? [16:11] I'll make it 2 GB then [16:11] and give it a try :) [16:11] PhoenixSTF, I had problems with N networks in maverick.. but I think that was a intel wifi driver problem though [16:11] ActionParsnip - Can help it, being exited :-) [16:11] lolcatz: just get in from kernel.org and use make-kpkg to build. Works like a charm for me :-) [16:11] !info httrack [16:11] httrack (source: httrack): Copy websites to your computer (Offline browser). In component universe, is optional.

[16:12] ? [16:12] uXu: is the wireless device usb based? [16:12] hi folks! my laptop's left speaker is broken, so i'm trying to mix pulseaudio's output to mono. is there anyone here who knows how to achieve this? [16:12] actionParsnip, ok ill try and complile, where do i go? [16:12] lolcatz: its not an official maverick kernel so is offtopic here [16:12] cpach: maybe in #pulseaudio? [16:12] PhoenixSTF: the realtek guys have source for wireless chips under linux [16:13] ActionParsnip - What do you mean USB based? Its a small wireless modem. [16:13] yes sory Fjodor said he is off so just thought Id ask btu you are right.. fjord Im me sometime !! [16:13] stianhj, its Atheros chip very good chip not so good on linux... [16:13] uXu: which connects to a USB port? [16:13] ActionParnsip, its a Atheros [16:13] cpach, you shoudl be able to in your preferences or system , choose the pulseaudio volume settings and change output to mono I thought [16:13] PhoenixSTF: i see, hmm are there bugs logged for the chip? [16:13] erUSUL: yeah, tried there, but didn't come so far. [16:14] ActionParsnip, yes but no one is paying atention to them [16:14] PhoenixSTF, IO have an atheros chip and works quite ok here but its a desktop mobo [16:14] lolcatz: i think that option is available only for soundcards that have the feature built-in. [16:14] ActionParsnip - It does not. [16:14] ActionParsnip - Strictly wireless. [16:14] hello everyone [16:14] ah cpach :D [16:14] uXu: ok, then can you run: lspci and give the one line which releates to the wireless [16:14] anyone knows a good webscrapping program? [16:14] do u mean web crawler? === herton is now known as herton_lunch [16:15] lolcatz, I wish :) it works ok under G, but i got a big house, and G is not enouth! [16:15] ok im off for a bit to do some house work gaaah, at kernel was answered Ill see if cpu freq decides to work on the 2.35.27.48-ubuntu branch [16:15] PhoenixSTF: not sure then, you may be stuck. You may find the atheros drivers online you can compile, like the madwifi ones in the madwifi-ng [16:15] OMG ,.. very 'big house' student house I presume? [16:15] anyone from andhra pradesh [16:15] is there anyone who knows telugu? [16:16] problems with G tend to pertain to diversity in my experiance [16:16] well, you perhaps? [16:16] is there a way to define attr_accessible in a dynamic fashion?? something like: attr_accessible :role_ids, :if => :admin? [16:16] ActionParsnip, what do you recomend, sit or try? [16:16] try setting the router to G also if thats an option [16:16] PhoenixSTF: depends how bothered you are [16:16] lolcatz: Just want to finish this, then. Discussion of the kernel is obviously OT, but how to compile it the debian/ubuntu way shouldn't be, so here's what I do: download the source from kernel.org, unpack, copy over the previous .config 'make oldconfig' and then 'make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --append-to-version -sune-1 --initrd kernel_headers kernel_image'. You *may* want to adjust the argument to the --append-to-version flag, though ;-) [16:16] s there anyone who knows telugu?

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [16:18] kanthbc: install it perhaps.. and see the Mint help channels. [16:18] Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 i386 Desktop. I'm using an LCD monitor and the desktop area and splash area are slightly off of the monitor to the left. I can correct this by changing refresh rate to 75 for the desktop, but how can I fix it for the splash screen? [16:19] ActionParsnip, problem is not the speed its actualy the range! [16:19] PhoenixSTF: I see, didn't know that [16:19] erUSUL: Duly noted - he just stated that he contemplated compiling .38 and I found a short explanation of the debian/ubuntu way of compiling kernels to be within the topic of this channel [16:19] PhoenixSTF: could try a different distro if Ubuntu doesn't suit your needs [16:19] PhoenixSTF: or grab a new wireless device [16:19] ActionParsnip, G you can get some range, but N it goes for almost the double [16:19] Can any one confirm a random log out happening in 10.10 have something to do with the screen saver ?? [16:20] or, try setting the router to G [16:20] Is there a way to put a password on software center? [16:20] hermanlf: you could try setting the 'gdm' users settings vya the following 2 commands. [16:20] ActionParsnip, iam gonna try and fix it somehow [16:20] xhost +SI:localuser:gdm [16:20] sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties [16:20] PhoenixSTF: my place is small so not noticed. I don't even know what I'm using, it just works [16:20] hermanlf: those should let you tweak some of the gnome settings that gdm uses. [16:20] Fjodor: i apologized for giving you a factoid you aboviously disn't need. you do not have to note anything :) [16:20] in bussy network environments where the router is n G adapters often have diversity issues. [16:20] Roasted_: it already ask for one [16:20] erUSUL: Hehe, ok then :-) [16:20] erUSUL, I mean to even OPEN it. [16:21] PhoenixSTF: try Suse or mandriva, see if its nicer [16:21] Roasted_: what are you tying to prevent? [16:21] Dr_Willis, thanks I'll try it. [16:21] in that scenario you see the signal ping back and forth often [16:21] where can I change my keyboard layout on ubuntu 10.10 by shell? [16:21] PhoenixSTF: there are "repeaters" see http://www.microsoft.com/athome/setup/wirelesstips.aspx especially #5 [16:21] erUSUL, we're toying with the idea of having Ubuntu on some student computers here. I'd rather have the software center require a PW to even open so they dont spend hours distracted by the awesome amount of packages in it. :P [16:21] ActionParsnip, remenber i am talking about my wife here, if I complicate this she will have my head! LOL [16:22] hey guys, help!!! my netbook is playing a very loud HRRRRRRRRRRR like noise when starting up! and it continues like that forever [16:22] PhoenixSTF: suse isn't any more complicated [16:22] drc: repeaters are nice but that not actualy a greeen solution! [16:22] ActionParsnip, well its a bit diferent and im afraid whe wont take it nicely [16:22] Roasted_: it does, users not in the admin group won't be able to do anything but use the installed apps [16:22] hello everyone [16:23] riserra: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data [16:23] PhoenixSTF: then you will need a repeater [16:23] I need some help if anyone is available [16:23] ActionParsnip, nope. [16:23] hey guys, help!!! my netbook is playing a very loud HRRRRRRRRRRR like noise when starting up! and it continues like that forever [16:23] hey guys, help!!! my netbook is playing a very loud HRRRRRRRRRRR like noise when starting up! and it continues like that forever [16:23] ActionParsnip, I'm on as a limited user now and I can open it without a password. [16:23] guys it's urgent!!! what shoiuld i do!?!?! [16:23] cube1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:23] to kill the sound [16:23] ActionParsnip, granted I would need a PW to install anything, but the idea is to block them from browsing for periods of time. [16:23] cube1: I'll assume that's either your fan or your drive starting up [16:23] Roasted_: sure but you shouldn't be able to install stuff [16:23] cube1: Does it stop after booting? [16:23] ActionParsnip, I know. [16:24] ShadowDXS: Just ask the question. If anyone knows, they'll answer :-) [16:24] ShadowDXS: Not sure if I have the time for it myself, though [16:24] BiPolah: no, it keeps goign on. i just installed cpufrequtils, maybe that's why? [16:24] Roasted_: edit the menus to not include the software center? [16:24] Roasted_: you could move it from /usr/share/applications and onto your admin desktop ;) [16:24] erUSUL, if I do that, how could I access it if I NEEDED it? [16:24] what is the process called Xorg? For some reason it occupies 80-90% of my CPU all the time [16:24] erUSUL, would it still be on the local administrator desktop? [16:25] I have a Intel Graphics Media Acceleration card on a Acer Extensa 5230E, and i can not, for the life of me get 3d desktop effects (wobbly windows) to work [16:25] Roasted_: well that will be per user. so yes the admin will have it there [16:25] Intel Graphics Media Acceleration card 4500MHD is the card i have [16:25] ShadowDXS: run: sudo lshw -C display what is output (use a pastebin to host) [16:26] anyone? [16:26] erUSUL, ActionParsnip, I see the removal thing from edit menus works fine. But uh.. is there a way to require a PW to open edit menus? :P :P [16:26] cube1: Put your hand by the fan and see what the airflow is like. If it seems normal, it's probably your drive failing; run a SMART test on it [16:26] one sec [16:26] Roasted_: well time to llok at some of the desktop conf locking tools for genome... [16:27] erUSUL, any names come to mind for me to check out? [16:27] Diverdude: That would be the process that's responsible for graphics as a whole. SOunds weird for it to use that many ressources, though [16:27] BiPolah: no, it's 100% the speakers, if i plug in the headphones i can hear it through them [16:27] Dr_Willis, That actually not what I was looking for. I need to move the splash screen that shows "UBUNTU" and the flashing dots during bootup slightly to the right. I know this can be done if only I can chage the refresh rate for that part of the bootup to 75. [16:27] snow, snow everywere ?? [16:27] How do I get Vdpau flash working? I have a nvidia gt240 and I know the vdpau works with mplayer, but it won't work with flash 10.2. The adobe demos say that stage video isn't running [16:27] cube1: Oh, I thought it was a mechanical noise thing. It's just white noise from your speakers that never turns off? An issue with pulseaudio or something I imagine [16:27] http://pastebin.com/UHjAu5jm [16:28] Roasted_: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/62060 [16:28] Roasted_: http://library.gnome.org/admin/deployment-guide/ [16:28] OS is ubuntu 10.10 === root is now known as Guest16959 [16:28] Roasted_: http://users.telenet.be/mydotcom/howto/linuxkiosk/ubuntu01.htm === Guest16959 is now known as Herrbert [16:28] geez [16:28] erUSUL, I owe you a beer [16:28] thanks bro [16:28] Roasted_: users can edit menus as they wish.You could make them owned by root but give everybody read access only. This will prevent editting [16:28] BiPolah: yeah exactly. how to fix it? [16:28] Roasted_: that from a quick google search. maybe people in #edubuntu can help further [16:29] cube1: No idea how to fix it, sorry. Could try reinstalling pulseaudio [16:29] ActionParsnip, well I removed "games" from the menu too, but I dont want htem to re-enable "games" being available. You know how high schools are. Once ONE knows, the entire building knows. [16:30] if i'm running 10.04 LTS and i want some specific newer packages, is my only option to fetch one from the next version up and hope that it doesn't have dependencies that will overwrite base stuff? [16:30] BiPolah: kk [16:30] cube1, BiPolah: As I *really* should get going, I'll just throw this out here: At what point in time during boot-up does the noise start? Could be a case of fiddling with module parameters instead if it starts before pulseaudio is loaded... [16:30] or put another way, i'm wondering if there's an ubuntu analog to the EPEL yum repository [16:30] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/UHjAu5jm [16:30] what up [16:31] Fjodor: right before the "UBUNTU 10.10" pops up [16:31] Fjodor: might be when X is starting up, not sure [16:31] Roasted_: yep, find where the menu data is held for the desktop you are using and chown it to root:root but then run: chmod o-w; chmod o+rx on the folder/file/whatever and they will only have read access [16:31] astrostl, you might update apt before you try something like that if you haven't already [16:31] ShadowDXS: you use an atom cpu don't you? [16:31] uh no [16:31] intel celeron [16:31] raving: it works fine for non-dependency-connected one-offs like puppet [16:31] Hmail [16:31] not atom [16:32] ShadowDXS: ok cool === henk_ is now known as Hmail === sideon1 is now known as sideone [16:32] cube1: In the latter case, BiPolah might very well be right in assuming a pulseaudio problem but I can't help either [16:32] ShadowDXS: is the system a branded pc or laptop? [16:32] laptop [16:32] ShadowDXS: what make and model please [16:32] Acer [16:32] ShadowDXS: model? [16:32] astrostl, it would naturally work for some packages; if your required to update some core dependencies, it might become a bit of an issue. === IPNixon_ is now known as IPNixon [16:32] Acer Extensa 5230E [16:33] astrostl, you might also look into building from source if you don't want to risk that [16:33] raving: i agree, ergo my question. is there a better repository for such items? [16:33] astrostl, well, there may be a PPA for your package [16:34] ActionParsnip - None is blocked. [16:34] I don't use ubuntu that regularly (it's on my workstation at work), but it's my understanding that PPAs are like little unofficial, project-specific repos [16:34] raving: these are for things included in ubuntu, and updated in later versions of ubuntu. aren't ppas just for things that aren't currently packaged? [16:34] is it possible to run the file browser with sudo? [16:34] uXu: ok then the guide will help [16:34] astrostl: Building from source would be the way to go in most cases. Get the *original.tar.gz and the .dsc and .diff packages. Unpack with dpkg-source -x file.dsc... [16:35] ShadowDXS: ok if you run: lsmod | grep acer do you see acer_wmi? [16:35] there is even a file to change the keyboard layout [16:35] ActionParsnip - Im trying :-) [16:35] astrostl: The cd to the dir that's created and issue dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot [16:35] well if that's all there is, it's all there is. i appreciate the info, but strongly prefer having a repo like epel out there. [16:35] yes [16:35] ooh the good old days of highs chool [16:35] astrostl, I've never used yum, what is epel like? [16:36] You might want to issue a sudo apt-get build-dep packagename first, though [16:36] thanks for the assistance [16:36] ShadowDXS: cool [16:36] anyway, off again, making chicken soup and just hacked it up to pieces now to rememebr wtf I use as spices :p [16:36] aka google is your friend, even when cooking ;) [16:36] acer_wmi 13929 0 [16:36] thats what it reads [16:36] raving: it's just a public repository which has more stuff, and newer versions of it. and none of them clobber your base system. [16:36] then below that it says [16:36] lolcatz, google has saved my hide more than once for cooking. [16:37] guys, _with out_ using other than vfat file systems, do you know some way i could make a bootable maverick thumb drive ? i've tried cp -a /mnt/iso/* /mnt/usb but symlinks arent accepted by the fat fs in the usb. i repeat, no ext3 or other fs's involved other than fat. any way to still make it? [16:37] astrostl, oh, so like aur on arch? [16:37] led_class 2633 2 ath9k,acer_wmi [16:37] astrostl: You *might* also be able to benefit from the backports and proposed repos. Find them in Software Souces under the tab Updates [16:37] an equivalent would be some kind of public apt repo for 10.04 LTS users, which has more packages than 10.04 LTS and also updated versions of those already included [16:38] if you start grabbing packages from 10.10, for example, you can get in trouble fast because of dependency chains. [16:38] vbox question: why is /usr not owned by root:root in maverick? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10494073 (just made) [16:38] after installing bind, the command sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 restart does not work [16:38] there is no bind9 file in init.d [16:38] raving hehe ye , my problem is I do a lot of 'custom' cooking so I dont use basic recipes for more than to start,, however.. being a bloke and all, I can't be arsed always rememebring stuff like how do I do my chick soups agian... so i need to find the basics to make sure i rememebr what I go ah ye.. thats it.. and now for my lil edits :p [16:38] ShadowDXS: I only know of making an xorg.conf to make those chips work. This may help (or break) your system: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [16:38] astrostl: And indeed there could be trouble, but for many packages, the above procedure for building from souce might help [16:38] two weeks ago when i first installed it [16:38] speaking of which, I just found [16:38] lolcatz: soup us all about stock => [16:38] the command worked [16:39] astrostl, is there a reason why you don't want to upgrade to 10.10? (just out of curiousity, I understand there are sometimes legitimate reasons not to) [16:39] is* [16:39] LTS [16:39] Oracle seems to want the entire directory tree from /usr to be root owned "for security reasons" - searching did not find a prior thread, [16:39] business [16:39] hundreds of servers/workstations [16:39] bjv: drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2011-02-22 15:48 usr it is [16:39] ActionParsnip: hmmmm [16:39] obiwan_: I had the same problem with symlinks, try knoppix 6.2 it's very cool and you can have a persistant hardrive image [16:39] lolcatz, the extent of my cooking abilities have been to memorize and master one recipe; I just really never get the time to cook anymore, not since I started grad school. [16:39] I find ham / veg / chick stocks all good for that kind of broth [16:40] fjodor: i hear you on source builds. we've also got our own apt repository for internal builds. i find it sub-optimal to something out there built for us that just works, though :) [16:40] how do i knowthrough termianl that i am using 64 bit? [16:40] raving: g0rby lolcatz : #ubuntu-offtopic, if you please. [16:40] ActionParsnip: then i guess the question is why is my /usr owned by 2402:dip [16:40] rishu: uname -a [16:40] bjv: no idea [16:40] astrostl, ahh, I see; that makes good sense [16:40] astrostl: Understandable, which is where backports and proposed might come in handy [16:40] ye im doin git like th9is : cleave the chicken up (~ 1 kg) fill 2/3 water huge pot, salt , pepper... cook for hmm i think an hour or till the meat comes right off, take it out debone it all ,then i whack it back, add the stock (buillion 1 piece) plus more salt pepper, the veggies and hmm did i say psices (i cook very spicey/aormatic), a ton of persian herbs/italian ) and after 20 mins I add the potatoes so they get done after 2.5 hrs o [16:40] r so i have my soup (I use potatoes instead of spaghetti which we use in polish recipes) [16:40] rishu: i686 == 32bit x86_64 == 64bit [16:40] sipior, ahh, sorry; I'll try not to go offtopic in the future. [16:40] thank you sipior sorry abt that [16:41] I've got a 35 meg xml file. What's the best way to look at it? Geany and firefox both crap out hard when I try [16:41] rishu: uname -m will be esier ;) [16:41] ya m using 64bit and it is very fast comapred to 32 bit [16:41] craigbass1976: gedit [16:41] craigbass1976: i think gedit can handle it [16:41] raving : LOL [16:41] Hello, does anybody know why I can find a copy of /usr/include? I've messed mine up and can't find another. [16:41] brb [16:41] astrostl, well, as Fjodor said, your best bet may be to compile from source and then possibly package the deb yourself. [16:41] (Like the default one that comes with Ubuntu.) [16:41] In bash, what is the type of $* plz ? [16:41] rishu: depends what you use it for [16:41] ok i'm there [16:41] i already do that [16:41] rodin, a list of strings. [16:41] but what do i download and install? [16:41] ActionParsnip: thax [16:41] hi guys. im new to ubuntu and have found that the default repo doesnt have very up-to-date packages. what repo could provide more updates packages? [16:42] raving: It isn't possible to have an array ? [16:42] ActionParsnip, geany is supposed to as well, but it's not. I'm on Lubuntu and don't want to install gedit, unless that doesn't mean I get half of GNOME as well... [16:42] backports for lucid are pretty dry atm but it would be a solution if active [16:42] ActionParsnip: it is fast than 32 bit os and smooth to use [16:42] rodin, in bash? I believe so. [16:42] craigbass1976: then leafpad [16:42] raving: Ok ok [16:42] I don't do a ton of shell scripting, I've always preferred C or perl instead. [16:42] astrostl: Sorry to hear, but now I'm really, really going so good luck [16:42] rodin, but I remeber reading somewhere that bash supported arrays proper [16:42] thanks drexl i already tried it and its very nice, but it's moms netbook and i guess she'll rather stay in ubuntu hehe. i chose to use ext3 as a last resort, and as expected its working so far, /me crosses fingers [16:42] xserver-xorg-video-intell? [16:42] intel* [16:42] rishu: use which you prefer, there is no right answer :). If you have more than 3.2Gb RAM then use the pae kernel [16:43] fjodor thx for the assistance! [16:43] ShadowDXS: add the ppa and update, it may help [16:43] i dont even see a user 2402 in /etc/passwd [16:43] ActionParsnip: i have 4gb of ram and what is pae kernel and what is its benifit [16:43] obiwan_: I've been trying to do that for years but my computer won't boot off a usb unless it's fat16 cause' it's old [16:43] astrostl: As far as the usefulness of my advice, I *do* think I'm correct in stating that it was the least I could do ;-) [16:43] sen me a copy when you're done [16:44] heh :) [16:44] there is a guy with those permissions on /usr/local/cuda/CudaVisualProfiler/bin/ [16:44] need help with restarting dns bind [16:44] http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?s=f42e9e2447213d612d089b9ed5765e2a&showtopic=84377&view=findpost&p=478202 [16:44] info is info, always good to get it [16:44] rishu: your OS can only reference 3.2Gb so PAE will give you the remaining 800Mb accessible. However each process can only access a maximum of 3.2Gb [16:44] but this is a fresh install, on intel graphics. i've never messed with cuda :\ [16:44] guys I have a HARD DRIVE that once had some very important information , the information that people get killed for, and i formated it (the hard drive), but sometimes you can recover the hard drive and see what once before was on it. how can i do to delete that forever ? [16:44] rodin: does "$@" not do what you want? [16:44] ionut: use shred on it [16:44] ionut melt it [16:45] ionut: or simply take a hammer to it to shatter the platters [16:45] ionut, or you could use /dev/zero and dd to zero it out [16:45] ActionParnisp: so i have installed 64bit ubuntu how do i go for PAE kernel plz explain sir! [16:45] raido [16:45] If I have 100 computers on the nework with the same name, would it have the same problem Windows would have? or would it still be best to rename them all? [16:45] !pae [16:45] To use more than ~3.2GB RAM on a 32bit system you can install the PAE-enabled kernel. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE for more info [16:45] ActionParsnip: i may need that :)) [16:45] rishu, ^^^^ [16:46] ActionParsnip, vi seems to handle it. Not quite the route I wanted to go, but... [16:46] rishu: 64bit doesn't need PAE, it can reference 16Tb RAM [16:46] craigbass1976: nano maybe [16:46] but anyone knows if is possible to permanently delete the data on a Hard Drive [16:46] ? [16:46] ActionParsnip: thanx i have 64bit processor [16:46] this command (sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup) works, but when I reboot back into normal state [16:46] ionut: if people 'get killed for it' then I'd definately use a hammer [16:46] raving, ionut. Pure zeroing is enough to throw most recovery firms off, but you could dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd bs=1 followed by the same but with if=/dev/random instead and repeat a few times [16:46] thx for your help too raving! [16:46] ionut: use s/w swap [16:46] rishu: doesn't matter, if you have a 32bit OS, the OS drives the CPU [16:47] rishu: so you will need PAE to access the extra RAM [16:47] ActionParsnip, vi will work. I just need to see the bleeping thing enough to figure out how to parse it in php. God forbid someone makes an sql I can just dump in somewhere... NOOOOOOO, lets make a gigantic xml... [16:47] ActionParnisp: so should i to install PAe ? [16:48] ionut: If it IS "information that people get killed for" (which I seriously doubt), then the best thing is to just remove the HHD and beat the damn thing to death with a hammer [16:48] rishu: i would, install: linux-image-generic-pae [16:48] siema [16:48] I'm trying to get my phone to show up so I can transfer files off it, it's a motorola zn300, it looks like it's being detected but not getting mounted http://paste.ubuntu.com/572241/ [16:48] industural grade demaganizizer :) [16:48] hi [16:48] Fjodor: i don't know how to do that. now the hard drive is on my other computer with windows installed on other harddrive along with other 9 hard drives , but how the hack should i do that ... delete all the data or substitue the zero ... or one [16:49] ionut: consdering how cheap drives are and peoples lives are at stake (as you say) then i'd destroy it and buy new [16:49] arch_nme: many phones have a data mode, or usb-storage mode setting you need to use when you plug them into a pc. [16:49] throw it in a fire [16:49] ionut: theres secure deletion utilities/live cd's out there. [16:49] ActionParsnip: is not just a HARD DRIVE ... otherwise i would killed it long ago [16:49] ActionParnisp: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-pae should i have to use this to install or by any external source [16:49] how download ati hd5500 ubuntu drivers ? [16:49] Dr_Willis, my phone is saying usb mass storage on the screen when I plug it in [16:49] ionut: then what elese is it? [16:49] !ati | Faza93 [16:49] Faza93: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:49] how download ati hd5500 ubuntu drivers ? [16:49] ActionParsnip: can't tell that , sorry [16:49] ionut: If we assume that the drive is /dev/sdb, you issue 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1'... [16:50] arch_nme: try mounting it by hand. check output of sudo fdisk -l, dmesg, and blkid to see what device its being [16:50] ionut: just destroy the storage. Unless its a multimillion dollar SAN, it can be replaced [16:50] Faza93: try the system -> admin -> addational drivers tool? [16:50] ionut: When finished (it will give an error when it reaches the end - disregard that) you issue 'sudo if=/dev/random of=/dev/sdb bs=1'... [16:50] Dr_Willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/572241/ there is my output from dmesg and lsusb, how do I mount it though?

[16:51] ActionParsnip: is a computer that i have to my work place (navy) but was cracked and they let other 3 to our base... now i want to fix something about it... [16:51] ionut: And repeat until you are satisfied. Some reputable homepage issued a challenge to data recovery firms to recreate anything from at harddrive that had been put through only the first part and none of them would even begin to try, deeming it impossible [16:52] arch_nme: when you plug it in, wait a few moments and run 'dmesg' it should mention the device.. or fdisk -l shows ALL devices [16:52] Fjodor: ill give it a try , thanks :O [16:52] guys , i happen to get these error many times . now i wonder, is there an easier way other than rebooting to get rid of it? it's the usual , cannot umount, resource busy , try lsof or fuser. even with umount --force [16:52] hey guys. i have heavy white noise when booting ubunti, and it doesnt go away until i manually run the command "pulseaudio". what wohuld i do? [16:52] Does anybody have a default copy of /usr/include, or know where I can get one? i've been asking for a while now. >_> [16:52] ionut: There was a reference to an article on slashdot recently, though, that states that this might not hold for solid-state storage [16:52] Dr_Willis, http://paste.ubuntu.com/572241/ this is my dmesg and lsusb output [16:52] cube1: run pulse audio as a startup command perhaps.. not a good fix.. but a fix.., [16:53] obiwan_: if i run fuser and nothing's actually using it, then i just sync and yank [16:53] obiwan_: if something *is* using it, then....close that program [16:53] obiwan_: being cd'd into it counts as "using" [16:53] arch_nme: look for /dev/XXXXX type lines mentioned when you plug the thing in. [16:53] ionut: so you work with highly sensitive navy data yet you wade into a public irc chat channel for advise??? That's hilarious. Shows how good the navy is when it cant even resolve its own data. Thats hilarious [16:53] chuj wam w dupe cwele pierdolone niedoruchane pierdolce bez kutasow [16:54] I belive the military has its own 'specs' on how stuff should be deleted..

[16:54] cube1: perhaps state what you are using? [16:54] ActionParsnip: Better than just shrugging and selling on eBay, right? [16:54] Dr_Willis: xmonad === Sprechkaese is now known as Herrbert [16:54] cube1: check the xmonad docs. [16:54] ActionParsnip: is in my hands, i was only informing if is any way to delete that. and no one know what is on that hard drive === Herrbert is now known as HerrBert [16:55] obiwan_: the command to make data thats waiting to be written to disk be written is "sync" [16:55] does anyone know if gedit add's hidden data in text files that could be used to identify the source. How some text editors or office suites add in hidden data into the files like "created by openoffice, date, location, users pc name etc etc" [16:55] obiwan_: but thats only relevant if it's plugged in [16:55] Dr_Willis, it does see it, fdisk -l doesn't do anything, I see it in dmesg and lsusb though [16:55] maco: it isnt, so what should i do? [16:55] msg nickserv identify aarnold [16:55] oops [16:55] needhelp1: gedit only does plain text if i remember right. there's nowhere *to* put metadata in that [16:55] obiwan_: ignore it [16:55] ionut: mabey you should just encrypt the sesitive data.

Why are you asking in here at all. They KNOW how to handle data and security. You asking in here makes the IT look like idiots [16:56] obiwan_: the reason to sync or click the "eject now" (or whateve rit says) button is to make it write the stuff before you yank the drive so you dont go to the next computer, plug in and be like "crap! my file's not here!" [16:56] drexl: not wanting to screw it lol [16:56] obiwan_: many letters? [16:57] id like a stronger than umount -f command, that really forces the usb to be unleashed [16:57] Dr_Willis: There is some live-cd, the name of which I can't remember, that boots into a deletion program that conforms to military specs. It can even be configured to do so automatically for all disks in the system without prompting. I used to burn CDs with it, writing Windows Boot Disk on them and leaving them at various locations, to teach people about not booting ill-begotten CDs ;-) [16:57] Dr_Willis, that just shows my harddrive and swap files [16:57] arch_nme: below those lines it should eventually mention a /dev/sdXX [16:57] yeah, like sda, sdb, sdc, sdd, sde...when in fact i have only sda and sdb [16:57] And now I'm off [16:57] no offense, highly OT, but im sure ionut does NOT work for the Navy [16:57] ActionParsnip: is for my personal information... === Commie_Cary is now known as Lenin_Cat [16:57] maco, thanks :) [16:57] arch_nme: sounds like its not detecting it as a usb storage device. [16:57] ja, det tog sin tid fjord :P [16:57] obiwan_: i think you need to just do it right going forward instead of just yanking if you dont want that to happen [16:57] lolcatz: Sorry - got caught up [16:57] ;) [16:57] Dr_Willis, I just have an sda1 sda2 and sda5 [16:58] i can relax again now and compile kernekl ^^ [16:58] arch_nme: sounds like its not detecting it as a usb storage device device. [16:58] Dr_Willis, yeah, it does anything I can do about that [16:58] well now i have to reinstall the OS [16:59] ActionParsnip - Its a waste of time ;-/ [16:59] great [16:59] why Shadow? [16:59] i dont yank maco , i do umount /dev/sdXY every time [16:59] I've got a cell phone that can be charged on the computer via a usb dongle. I'm wondering if I can use it as a thumb drive as well. Anyone mounted a samsung and know the fs type? [16:59] arch_nme: check google for your exact phone and linux. is this a 'smart' phone runnign android? [16:59] obiwan_: and if you get an error? you just yank anyway? or resolve the error? [16:59] ionut: i'd ask your IT. You can use the MoD tool on the ultimate boot CD to flip the bits 7 times each and will securely remove the data but even if its a 4Tb drive it's still only a few hundred so just destroy it [17:00] craigbass1976: my android phone works that way.. charges and shows up as 2 usb storage devices [17:00] if i get an error, i kick the computer, beat the screen, and yank xD [17:00] Dr_Willis, no it's a motorola zn300, already check google not much out there, the phone is runnign a linux OS, but not andriod or anything it's not a smart phone just a regular phone [17:00] obiwan_: an error'd umount doesn't count [17:00] ok, ill try sync from now on [17:00] i nev er knew about that [17:01] paul [17:01] obiwan_: you still really should unmount though [17:01] obiwan_: fuser -m /dev/sdXY [17:01] ActionParsnip: i think that is why every mouth new computers arrive here... thanks for the info... [17:01] obiwan_: that'll tell you what's keeping it from umounting, then you can fix it and do the umount again [17:01] Dr_Willis, mine isn't showing up though; I see it in lsusb, but not mount [17:01] obiwan_: because sync will just make sure the drive & your data don't get broken. it wont make any difference to hwo your computer names subsequent drives [17:01] Hey all, im searching for a program to record video from a video4linux device. it should support getting the sound from pulseaudio or from jack directly. any ideas?

[17:02] obiwan_: is anything actually plugged in as sdb1? [17:03] obiwan_: the fuser advice is a "for future reference" thing [17:03] no maco, nothinig [17:03] i yanked [17:03] after umount didnt work [17:03] craigbass1976, idk, have you ever had it working on any other OS? [17:03] arch_nme, if I can make it work, there goes carrying an mp3 player and a thumb drive around with me [17:03] arch_nme, nope. I've got no other os [17:03] obiwan_: ok then there's nothing to be done right now [17:04] obiwan_: im just trying to tell you how to *prevent* this in future [17:04] arch_nme, going on I think six years now. :) [17:04] ok , atl east i know theres nothing to be done. i always kept wondering , does an easy command i dont know exist to solve this out?

(using ubuntu) [17:34] sgo11: it should unmount it as part of a shutdown.. but you could unmount it by hand if you wanted [17:34] sgo11: shutdown is unmounting such things [17:35] bmccomb: i hear that, been years since ive done any subnetting [17:35] When I shutdown computer it displays Killing all remaining processes [fail]. It shutdowns normally but it delays it. Can anyone help me? [17:35] MrMintanet: as far as I know there is NOT a ubuntu specific networking channel (here or anywhere).

I'm only an intern here, but my boss left after 6 months. === derp is now known as HYACINTHBOUQUET [17:35] drexl: xamp is also stupid, use the real and standalone packages [17:35] Hello everyone, we have a desktop server box that doesn't have a GUI interface. It's ultimately used only for web hosting. We need to write a service script in order to have it start at book-up time. Adding the service can be done by using a tool like rcconf. But how do we write this start-up script, any good links? thanks. [17:35] I've been *trying* to fill in for the past two months as we hire someone. Stressful as..well you get the idea. [17:36] Dr_Willis, iceroot, thanks. that means I do not need to umount it manually. shutdown will take care of it. thanks. [17:36] LucyIntheSky: theres tools in the repos that can do that.. as can compiz settiongs. [17:36] bmccomb: no better way to learn, though [17:36] LucyIntheSky: there used to be one called 'maximus' and another called 'devilspie' that may also do it. [17:36] just dive right in [17:36] Dr_Willis, ok I will try those because I don't use compiz [17:36] llutz: got it thanks! [17:36] Can anybody help me? I need a new /usr/include because I've messed mine up. [17:36] drc, Thank you! That is what I was looking for. Sounds silly, but I couldn't find it. [17:36] find -ctime 7 -exec rm {} \; ? [17:36] sound right [17:37] iceroot: I use the standalone packages in windows.. it's just that linux is setup similarily if you compile. [17:37] WTF [17:37] MrMintanet: np [17:37] webPragmatist: i would make it 'mv' the files to some directory first.. so you can double check. [17:37] For sure. Though I'm already having more problems.

I need a new /usr/include because I've messed mine up. :-( [17:37] bmccomb: you sure that path exists? not making a typo> === maciek_ is now known as Guest12457 [17:38] asmy: i would think you would need to reinsdtll any packages that had files in that directory. [17:38] asmy: What specifically do you need help with? Did you delete evertying in that directory, or what? [17:38] I was trying to mount the ecryptfs directory with a normal user. I edited fstab and use ecryptfs-manager to add passphrase key to keyring. then use mount -i /secret to mount it as normal user. everything works fine before reboot. After reboot, i think the keyring is lost. i didn't see it by keyctl list @u. is this expected? [17:38] webPragmatist: i am not a find-pro but i guess with that command you will get problems with filenames containing spaces [17:38] Dr_Willis, thanks, I think that maximus might be what I needed [17:38] webPragmatist: if i am correct there was something like -print0 and so on [17:39] LucyIntheSky: it can get annoying having 'everything' maxzmize. like file dialogs. [17:39] iceroot: There is only this at the end of syslog : http://paste.ubuntu.com/572270/ [17:39] terry, To be honest, I'm not exactly sure. I accidentally wrote over the file with a different one and now certain tools don't run properly, even if I recompile/install it. [17:39] Dr_Willis, yea, nothing is ever perfect in life... but having to resize everything is annoying too. I can just move with alt+tab now if it gets too annoying I'll have to figure something else out. thanks for the help. [17:39] iceroot: not when using -exec -print0 is needed when using xargs [17:39] asdfgh_: sure you are using ubuntu? [17:40] asmy: Which file? (/usr/include is a directory). [17:40] llutz: so exec is handling "foo bar.sh" correctly? [17:40] iceroot: iirc yes [17:40] asmy: ls /usr/include #To see what you have there.

[17:43] PCdoc: if you are not using samba or other daemoms for managing windows-clients, then you dont need it [17:43] PCdoc: you can if you want to scan files before passing them on to windows users [17:43] iceroot: There's nothing that can tell me something about this problem in syslog. [17:43] but i see on google that there are anti-viruses available for the debian linux!! what are they for? [17:43] PCdoc: ubuntu was created by nerds that don't allow virus' [17:43] PCdoc: there are no public viruses for debian stable [17:44] clamware [17:44] PCdoc: Nerds from around the globe [17:44] PCdoc: and a virus-scanner for linux is normally if you are using samba,dansguardian or a mailserver to protect connected windows-clients [17:44] hi [17:45] It was a great ideia this IRC Chat . [17:45] asdfgh_: then its hard for us to help [17:45] rhythmbox stops at 1379 files - connected to the media server via samba - why? [17:46] Ok thanks ... :) [17:46] Anybody knows if a precompiled linux kernel with the 'Mike Galbraith' scheduler patch exists for ubuntu 10.10? Have searched a bit, but didn't find anything for the newest kernel [17:46] martin8412: you mean the cgroups-patch? [17:46] iceroot: Ye [17:47] martin8412: there was a ppa-build on 2.6.37 but dont rember the ppa-name [17:47] PCdoc: Virus scanning applications for Linux are to protect windows users, so that if a linux user might download some virus or worm so that they won't somehow send it as an attachemnt to a windows user. Or more particularly to use on a Linux mail sserver so that virus stuff is deleted before it gets re-transmitted to a windows user. [17:47] Did anybody read my question? [17:47] iceroot: Hmm, I'll give it a try, thanks :) [17:48] Brumagem: your speakers are broke [17:48] Hearing sound out of both speakers and headphones after I plug headphones into audio jack in Ubuntu, it's not a hardware problem. [17:49] It works fine while using Windows 7. [17:49] iceroot: Can you list scripts that you have for default in /etc/rc*.d ? Maybe this is problem with scripts? [17:49] rhythmbox stops at 1379 files - connected to the media server via samba - why? [17:50] Brumagem: its a common question/proboem. the forums Might have an answer. ive never seen a 'quick fix' for the issue mentioned in here.

[17:50] raven : can you see all the tracks in a file browser? [17:50] acidmind_bh: i had issues like that once. try installing somthing via the command line tools, look for error emssages. [17:50] acidmind_bh: use "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install paketname" and post the error to pastebin if there are errors [17:51] Rusty149, yes [17:51] I was temporarily disconnected, did anybody reply to what I typed? [17:51] Rusty149, more than 4000 [17:51] What's default scripts in /etc/rc*.d? [17:51] Brumagem: that's very odd, it's has to be hardware. [17:51] Brumagem: You say you are, "Hearing sound out of both speakers and headphones after I plug headphones into audio jack in Ubuntu"? [17:51] There is no way man, like I said it works with Win7. [17:52] raven: have you rescanned the directory in rythmbox? === finland_ is now known as finubu [17:52] Nice - According to some forum posts one of the natty RC builds has the patch applied [17:52] okkkk [17:52] !sound | Brumagem [17:52] Brumagem: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3.

[17:53] When I shutdown computer it displays Killing all remaining processes [fail]. It shutdowns normally but it delays it. Can anyone help me? [17:53] Has anybody added an Ubuntu computer to a Windows domain before? I'm using Likewise-Open but I'm getting an error during the join process and I can't seem to trace it. [17:54] delays for how long, asdfgh? [17:54] hi guys. im new to ubuntu and have found that the default repo doesnt have very up-to-date packages. what repo could provide more updates packages? [17:54] Brumagem: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp #And fiddle with the wires or volume controls till you hear static noise [17:54] are they different file types? check the permissions (maybe do a chmod -R). [17:55] coi, its done like that for stability reasons, as bleeding-edge versions of software often introduce problems. [17:55] iceroot : is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [17:55] coi, if you want up to date packages, locate a PPA of the exact software you wnat to be the newest, then update-manager will handle the rest. [17:55] !repositories | coi [17:55] coi: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [17:55] BluesKaj: Maybe 10 seconds but this is really disturbing because it messes plymouth.

It's nromally for stability issues. [17:56] coi, Ubuntu is tested with XYZ versions of software. By updating software, you introduce the potential for instability. [17:56] Roasted_, i mean. the older the more likely a bug [17:56] asdfgh, do you really care about plymouth , I don't :) === Your_Highness is now known as Hedgehog456 [17:56] coi, take Windows for example. How often does WINDOWS truly crash? Compare that to how often Windows crashes as a result of a driver or program backfiring.... [17:56] windows crashes 30 minutes [17:57] Brumagem: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/* #Fiddle some more, listen, and/or tell us what happens.

[18:01] terry, 10.10 [18:01] How to check last updated package name? [18:01] iceroot, what ever is the easiest. [18:01] rishu: You can not "paste" anything to unmounted partition or drive.

It shutdowns normally but it delays it. Can anyone help me? [18:02] coi: What makes you think that the default repositories are old? [18:02] im looking at the version made available for software i had running in another distro [18:02] BluesKaj, no the option to choose Lubuntu is nit in the popup menu on the login screen, so i am attempting to fix that by updating Lubuntu in Gnome [18:02] coi: What other distro, what application? [18:03] The packages might be "old" compared to bleeding edge distroes, but it really isn't that old .. [18:03] asdfgh, did you try shutting it down after those commands [18:03] terry, gentoo. for instance wireshark is 1.2 [18:03] Gentoo is a bleeding edge distro [18:03] BitEncrypt, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade , in the terminal [18:04] coi: Well, you can install a newer version if you want.

[18:06] asdfgh, you are doing more damage by the constantn powering off and than the little problem is [18:06] sre-su: to look at it try "less /var/log/dpkg.log" [18:06] ot | terry coi [18:06] powering off and on [18:06] coi: just looked at the repository for Ubuntu 10.04 and it shows version 1.2.7-1 [18:06] I need a good CLI clipboard for ubuntu that i can operate via ctrl+c/v can you recommend me of such?

[18:30] When I shutdown computer it displays Killing all remaining processes [fail]. It shutdowns normally but it delays it. Can anyone help me? [18:30] kubanc: there widgits and panel applets to do it.. conky can also.. [18:30] Analog connections.. They do not work correctly for Ubuntu.

[18:31] hellslinger, sorry, I am not sure how to do that. [18:31] we'll i don't use panel applets, because i'm using GNOME pannel. i need applicaiton [18:31] sgo11, open your keyring manager [18:31] 'software selectable outout jacks' can be an issue. [18:31] When I had speakers connected with optical or digital coxial I had zero problems [18:31] hello! [18:31] How do I fix that Dr_Willis? [18:32] tiako: no idea. I use digital or optical now a days when i can. [18:32] hellslinger, how to call keyring manager? thanks. [18:32] when i dont - i just have a 2 speaker setup normally.

[18:34] * BluesKaj has yet to see any digtal transducers , transducers like speakers and mics are analog by definition [18:34] MrMintanet: To actively monitor network traffic you would have to do it on the firewall. [18:34] simontemplar: use your initial user and sudo as needed [18:34] I don't really care about 5.1 just need the sub [18:34] 10-4 thanks Doc [18:34] asdfgh_: simontemplar did you just unbox it [18:34] !dr_willis no, it works but its dark, on minux mint it was working perfect [18:34] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:34] Yes the speakers are analog but the connections are digital or analog [18:34] simontemplar: There is no password for root.

[18:35] anyone for my battery checking state? [18:35] that manual is going to be so out of date for the next release. :( [18:35] Dr_Willis, what was the code for restarting services again [18:35] BitEncrypt: sudo service WHATEVER restart [18:35] !Dr_Willis no, it works but it looks so dark, on mint 8 it was ok [18:35] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:35] example92: dont put ! in front of nicks. [18:35] sgo11, it does appear to use this [18:35] simontemplar: if you installed the OS it should have asked you to create a username and password, [18:35] it confuises the bot. :) [18:36] I cannot manage to find the rythmbox package. Someone please help me -__- [18:36] !find rythmbox [18:36] simontemplar: use "sudo yourusername and yourpassword" to run root actions [18:36] File rythmbox found in jwchat [18:36] hmm [18:36] murphs: sudo apt-get install rythmbox [18:36] sgo11, so if your keyring does not have a password and is the default keyring for ecryptfs, it might work without having to reauthenticate each time you login [18:36] Dr_Willis ok, sorry.. on mint the cam was working perfect, but i use ubuntu [18:36] is that spelt right? [18:36] shadow it did .. did that.. when i do an 'su root' it asks for password [18:36] sgo11, it is good to remember that this decreases your security [18:36] simontemplar: DONT use su. use sudo [18:36] terry: unable to locate package rythmbox (i'm on 10.10) [18:36] hellslinger, after running ecryptfs-manager or ecryptfs-add-passphrase, the output is "Inserted auth tok with sig [28b75746d4f4d6d2] into the user session keyring". then by running keyctl list @u, I will see a new keyring. [18:37] ok, doc [18:37] Rhythmbox Music Player [18:37] is there a way to upload/download files within an ssh session, or do I have to run scp separately? [18:37] !find Rhythmbox [18:37] Found: remuco-rhythmbox, rhythmbox, rhythmbox-dbg, rhythmbox-dev, rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder [18:37] hellslinger, something like this: 162468922: --alswrv 1000 1000 user: 28b75746d4f4d6d2. [18:37] simontemplar: Ubuntu isn't like Fedora in that since, you have to set a password for the root user and enable the root user, via [18:37] sgo11, if in gnome, go to Preferences -> Passwords and Encryption Keys [18:38] I wonder why my apt-get doesn't see rythmbox, then? [18:38] hellslinger, I just want to mount the encrypted directory without password by using my username. it should be safe if people don't know my OS user name's password. [18:38] murphs, spelling, it's rHythmbox [18:38] sgo11, Passwords: login will expand and your ecryptfs entry should be there after adding it to the ecryptfs-manager [18:38] hi all. Im having trouble getting my splash screen working under 10.10. I have prop ATI drivers installed and the OS was updated from lucid. I have followed many repair guides online and the best i have got so far is the scrolling text is now in high resolution. Installed software: startup manager and Burg.

[18:46] Blade1211: ask a more specific question and see who can help. [18:46] gsp2009: mutt, claws-mail [18:46] Blade1211: i imagine they get sick of answering questions that are coverd in 100's of guides and books out there. :) [18:46] gsp2009: What happened with those clients ? I use evolution to access hotmail? [18:46] llutz thanks will check those out [18:46] alright Dr_Willis i have an nvidia GT 330m, the hdmi out doesn't work and I'm not sure what to do to make it work [18:47] im looking to make a script that will watch a dir that has multiple dirs in itand if the dir has not change in x amount of mins then excute a script but i the the first script to always watch the main dir [18:47] I've installed Ubuntu from a live cd, but after restarting it just shows a screen with Ubuntu with dots beneath it, and doesn't change, how can I fix it? [18:47] shadow.. i found tb to be flaky, and now evolution just reset on upgrade as though I never had an account. I have been trying to fix it all morning. [18:47] mrwizeguy1983, both video and audio ? [18:47] yeah theie might be turotial or something out there but im not sure of the best way to word it to find what i need [18:47] gsp2009: Also works great to access exchang email.

[18:48] :( [18:48] I want you. [18:49] shadow88: you ever see that problem with evolution before? [18:49] hi all. Im having trouble getting my splash screen working under 10.10. I have prop ATI drivers installed and the OS was updated from lucid. I have followed many repair guides online and the best i have got so far is the scrolling text is now in high resolution. Installed software: startup manager and Burg. TIA [18:49] BluesKaj, i don't have audio or video, it does nothing [18:49] gsp2009: what problem? [18:49] Does anybody know how I can automatically map a network drive or to a network resource on an Ubuntu system that's connected to a Windows domain? [18:50] is it possible to transfer files over an ssh shell without separately running sftp? [18:50] Roasted_: you need to look into samba [18:50] shadow88: evolution just reset on upgrade as though I never had an account. I have been trying to fix it all morning. Asks me on startup to create account. I still have .evolution in my userdir [18:50] shadow88, I'm fully aware of samba. I want it to automatically do this for each user, though. [18:50] Travis-42: yea... run scp [18:50] mrwizeguy1983, ok to what are you connecting and did you install the recommended nvidia driver after installing the OS? [18:50] eth0 doesnt appears on ifconfig...what should I do? [18:51] llutz: claws looks promising. [18:51] speaking of scp, is it possible to scp between to computers directly using a router [18:51] ? [18:51] gsp2009: Damn, I haven't seen that before at all, something dumb happened during upgrade [18:51] psusi, but nothing to send files from the same ssh shell I'm in? [18:51] ruiserra, ifconfig -a ? [18:51] Travis-42: if you are in a shell, then you are on the remote machine, so any command you issue is run there [18:51] gsp2009: I've not used a PC Based Email Client in years. Just don't see that it is all that necessary. [18:51] im trying to run multibe x sessions but when i type startx it says no protocol specified [18:52] Travis-42: you could issue an scp command there to reach back to your machine and push or pull a file if you want [18:52] gsp2009: I haven't had any issues with evolution..what version are you using. [18:52] im trying to run multibe x sessions but when i type startx it says no protocol specified [18:52] BluesKaj, i installed the latest nvidia driver (update today) as well as nvidia-settings and nvtv. it does nothing, as if it didn't exist [18:52] psusi, if the remote machine has ssh access to my local one... [18:52] Travis-42: right [18:52] How can I set it so an Ubuntu machine on a Windows domain environment auto maps the home directory to a Windows network resource, or at least creates a folder on the desktop that's mapped? I want each user that logs in to receive a link to //server/users/theirfolder. [18:53] im trying to run multibe x sessions but when i type startx it says no protocol specified [18:53] Roasted_: Using samba you have set you linux machine to mount a directory that on a Windows box [18:53] terry: I have a server with multiple domains. the web based mail on cpanel isn't that great, so I d/l it all locally. I check them via pop on my blackberry, but I like having them locally... my main account is gmail though. [18:53] shadow88, I'm not sure I follow. WHAT do I set, exactly [18:53] how to del battery state file because it's staying to checking battery state on my laptop... [18:53] shadow88: 2.30.3 7.3 [18:54] mrwizeguy1983, latest nvidia driver (update today) ? from where , from hardware in admin , or the nividi website ? [18:54] shadow88: more specifically 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.3 [18:54] gsp2009: im using 2.12.3 under centos 5.5 [18:54] hello again [18:55] BluesKaj, nvidia website, the .bin file. [18:55] i need some help with my webcam.. i found help on forums but i do not know hot to do some things.. anybody want to help? [18:55] aha , why mrwizeguy1983 , did someone recommend it ? [18:56] How can I set it so an Ubuntu machine on a Windows domain environment auto maps the home directory to a Windows network resource, or at least creates a folder on the desktop that's mapped? I want each user that logs in to receive a link to //server/users/theirfolder. [18:56] how to del battery state file because it's staying to checking battery state on my laptop at boot [18:56] im trying to run multibe x sessions but when i type startx it says no protocol specified [18:57] hmm i think i might need to reinstall 10.04 and not 10.10. some drivers are now broken [18:57] shadow88: I got it... turns out that evolution stores password and account information in ~/.gconf/apps/evolution and ~/.gnome2_private/Evolution. It is now broken, because I backed up my gnome config and recreated the default... ugh... talk about embeded. I am gonna try that and see from my backup. [18:58] Roasted, do you mind if i PM you? Im not an advanced user but i have done something similar and could point you in the right direction while others are busy [18:58] Roasted_: you can use autofs to mount //server/users/theirfolder with could me mounted to a folder call "Home" on their linux desktop [18:58] BluesKaj, i always use the latest nvidia driver from their site, is that a problem? [18:58] skullboy, if you want multiple x sessions have you tried just using "gdmflexiserver" (as a command you run to get a second login?) [18:58] Roasted_: you'd have to configure samba first [18:59] coi: me? [18:59] omlet, can't you just reboot? [18:59] ZykoticK9: i tryed startx -- :1 === xxx is now known as jfj89n894fn [18:59] yes I can I tried to remove battery, but doesn't working also on recup mode [18:59] recorvery* [18:59] i found the vendor id and the driver, how can i install them? [18:59] v [19:00] shadow88, what do I need to do to get to that point [19:00] omlet, no [19:00] ok ;) [19:00] :) [19:00] mrwizeguy1983, the latest driver recommended by the nvidia website crashed X on my setup , so i installed the recommended driver that's default for my version of ubuntu , look in admin / hardware drivers , choose the recommended driver and install it [19:00] hi everybody [19:00] Anyone running speakers on separate channels? [19:01] skullboy, FYI you need two accounts to login with (it won't allow the same user to log in twice, anymore) [19:01] what do you think to Xbuntu please === Ali__ is now known as Aly [19:01] Think to? [19:01] Im running Xbuntu on a p4 box. [19:01] Xubuntu [19:02] When I shutdown computer it displays Killing all remaining processes [fail]. It shutdowns normally but it delays it. Can anyone help me? [19:02] BluesKaj, nvidia-current ? [19:02] yup [19:02] ZykoticK9: ok figured it out but when i switch back it is not running anymore [19:02] I think the current nvida is 270. [19:02] Something.. [19:02] mrwizeguy1983, yes [19:02] How can I set it so an Ubuntu machine on a Windows domain environment auto maps the home directory to a Windows network resource, or at least creates a folder on the desktop that's mapped? I want each user that logs in to receive a link to //server/users/theirfolder. [19:03] ZykoticK9: ok figured it out but when i switch back it is not running anymore [19:03] Roasted_: first set up samba in order to mount the share thats on the Window computer [19:03] is virtualbox-ose the only version offered? what happened to the closed source? [19:03] skullboy, are you trying to log in with the same user? it logs you out if you are. [19:03] shadow88, you've said that 4 times. I also asked 4 times. HOW. [19:04] Roasted_: you can google it. There are alot of how-to on this [19:04] I have been googling it. [19:04] That's why I'm asking here. [19:04] So I will continue to ask until I can come across a legit link giving me the proper information. [19:04] is there a way I can constrain mouse movement to part of my screen? [19:04] Roasted_: what version of Ubuntu is the client using? [19:04] 10.04.1 [19:04] Is it pronounced as: o buntu or you buntu ? [19:05] ZykoticK9: yea how do i set it not to do that [19:05] goodmanson: oo buntu methinks [19:05] ooh boon too [19:05] thanks [19:05] skullboy, use a different user. The ability to log in twice was removed quite a while ago. [19:05] I've heard people say [19:06] anybody ever user rutilt application? [19:06] Good day .. Do I have a Problem .. install the OS (WIndows XP) but it is not on the grub loader that must create one to add to boot list? [19:07] ka2r: rerun sudo update-grub and it should rescan and see the new os's [19:07] ZykoticK9: so is there a way to add the abillity [19:07] skullboy, i highly doubt it (it's not a good idea) [19:08] How can I set it so an Ubuntu machine on a Windows domain environment auto maps the home directory to a Windows network resource, or at least creates a folder on the desktop that's mapped? I want each user that logs in to receive a link to //server/users/theirfolder. [19:08] My 10.04 boot stops and gives the message "ureadahead main process (312) terminated with status 5." On launchpad, someone said this error is caused by having /var mounted on a separate partition. This is my case (actually on a different drive altogether), but how do I fix it? [19:08] Roasted_: http://reformedmusings.wordpress.com/2010/05/22/samba-file-sharing-in-ubuntu-lucid-10-04-lts/ [19:08] ZykoticK9: can it be exploited [19:08] BluesKaj, after installing it should i reboot? or init.d/gdm restart ? [19:08] shadow88, that's not what I need. [19:08] shadow88, that's explaining how to create shares. [19:08] anyone ever use rephrase to recover gnupg passphrase? [19:08] mrwizeguy1983, reboot [19:09] skullboy, having the same user write to the same files in two places at once is not really an exploit, just a bad idea. good luck man. [19:09] shadow88, I have an Ubuntu computer on a Windows domain. I want the Ubuntu user to log in and BAM - right there on the desktop is a link to their server folder on the Windows server. [19:09] ZykoticK9: would about if i remove plymouth [19:09] Roasted_: you need to mount network share with fstab [19:10] Roasted_: thats the first part. Samba allows you connect to a cifs share. You have to do some work in order to get the "BAM" this is the first part. [19:10] gsp2009, I understand that, but each guide I read about fstab says I need to add the actual user credentials in fstab. [19:10] skullboy: you can disable plymouth.. removeing it is much harder. [19:10] Does enybody home? [19:10] BluesKaj, before i reboot, there's one odd thing -- under additional drivers it says that nvidia_current is activated but not in use, is that expected until reboot? [19:10] gsp2009, this is a HUGE problem. There will be hundreds of computers and hundreds of users. I can't POSSIBLY add links to all of them. [19:10] Roasted_: config samba, then you worry about the automatic mounting to a folder their desktop. [19:11] gsp2009, I need it to use wildcards somehow, to automatically map a link to the folder to whatever user is logged in. [19:11] shadow88: you don't need samba to connect to a cifs-share, just smbfs is needed [19:11] Sorry ran sudo update-grub but nothing new was observed [19:11] shadow88, I have samba configured. [19:11] mrwizeguy1983, yes [19:11] IT's done [19:11] installed [19:11] I HAVE IT [19:11] Dr_Willis: what are the uses of plymouth [19:11] Roasted_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [19:11] BluesKaj, thank you, rebooting now [19:11] skullboy: boot time eye candy. [19:11] I need the automatic thing now. That's what I've been trying to say... [19:11] ? [19:11] Roasted_: didn't know you had samba already configured. [19:11] yes... [19:12] Roasted_: okay the hard part is done [19:12] I don't need to set up "shares". I need to make Linux log in and auto point to the users directory. [19:12] shadow88, so if bob_dole logs in, I want a folder on the desktop that points to \\WindowsServer\users\bob_dole [19:12] Dr_Willis: got you so if i removed disabled plymouth would i be able to login twice on the same system [19:12] When I shutdown computer it displays Killing all remaining processes [fail]. It shutdowns normally but it delays it. Can anyone help me? [19:12] Roasted_: this is an inherent problem in that if you are allowing access to one particular directory or partition, the permissions will have to be configured so that all/any user can read/write. Are you sure you want to do this? [19:12] gsp2009, I'm not sure we're on the same page. [19:13] gsp2009, the only person that can get into bob_dole on the Windows server is... bob_dole, etc. [19:13] Roasted_: you can use autofs for that in fedora [19:13] gsp2009, so when bob_dole logs in, I just want him linked to that directory on the Windows server. [19:13] shadow88, I'm not using Fedora... [19:13] Excuse me how to run starcraft 2 on ubuntu 10.10. Why do I run bad otobrozhenie like 16 colors. [19:13] gsp2009, likewise if brad_pitt logs in, he gets a link to \\WindowsServer\users\brad_pitt, NOT bob_dole, etc. [19:13] I think it's that same for ubuntu , let me double check , we finally on the same page [19:14] gsp2009, think of re-directed My Docs in Windows. But in this instance, we're in Ubuntu. Still a Windows server/domain, but Ubuntu clients. [19:14] using gnome on ubuntu server, how to do I enable remote desktop without installing the whole gnome-desktop-environment package? [19:14] Roasted_: gotcha.. let me dig up my notes. I have done this years ago. Wait one. [19:14] gsp2009, thanks bro [19:15] i want to login to 2 ttys at the same time how do i do it === guenter is now known as Guest20777 [19:15] !appdb | ka2r [19:15] ka2r: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [19:15] skullboy: after you login on the first, switch to the second and login there... [19:16] if uname says i686 im still 32bit right/ [19:16] needs to be x64_86 for 64? [19:16] ilessthan3ubuntu: yes [19:16] maco, ty [19:16] psusi: that does not work with x [19:16] Does anybody know how I can prevent the workspace switcher from moving the active window when I switch workspaces using the keyboard shortcuts? [19:16] gsp2009: Roasted_ One way to do that is to edit the /etc/fstab file, but that would be useful only if they alway use that same system [19:17] shadow88, nope. [19:17] cant do that [19:17] Roasted_: okay [19:17] hundreds of users, hundreds of computers, all different each time [19:17] this is a school district. zero consistency here. [19:17] Roasted_: the way I did it was to edit fstab. something like this. //192.168.1.1/shared/$REMOTEUSERDIR /home/$USERDIR/shared cifs rw,username=$USERNAME,password=$PASSWORD 0 2 [19:18] gsp2009, did you actually type in "USERNAME" and "PASSWORD" with it? [19:18] gsp2009: thats the other way [19:18] gsp2009, because it would seem that only works if the same user logs into the same system each time. [19:18] psusi: that does not work with x [19:18] howdy folks [19:18] Roasted_: so are these individual workstations, or many users per workstation? [19:19] gsp2009, these are labs in a schoold istrict [19:19] is there a mouse movement macro recorder available? [19:19] ok, so I've done symbolic links before, that's ln -s [19:19] gsp2009: that same command can be used with autofs also [19:19] gsp2009, there is zero consistency with users and the workstations. the class walks in, takes a seat, gets to work. [19:19] gsp2009, the users will be roaming onto different computers each time. === carlos is now known as Guest93861 [19:19] Roasted_: ugh.. so you are essentially looking for roaming profiles. [19:19] gsp2009, I'm not really looking for a roaming PROFILE [19:19] gsp2009, I'm looking for Ubuntu to be smart enough to be like, ahh! you're bob_dole! Here's a link to your folder on the windows Server! [19:19] Roasted_: just a roaming shared net resource [19:20] but what I'd like to do now is to create one to a different partition. So I'd like to be able to access the Documents folder on some other partition from the partition I'm in [19:20] if that makes sense [19:20] Roasted_: for lack of a better term. [19:20] so lsmod shows video: i915 which is intel, how do i change to nvidia, just install the nvidia linux driver off the website? [19:20] skullboy, open 2 terminal-emulators, or a new tab in an existing? [19:20] gsp2009, any idea with that? [19:20] Roasted_: I understand what you are attempt to acheive, I haven't done it for a larger user base. [19:20] Roasted_: let me think it through. there has to be a solution. [19:20] BluesKaj, i came up to a black screen after installing nvidia_current [19:21] szunti: how [19:21] BluesKaj, i had to load the vesa driver to get gui back... [19:21] mrwizeguy1983, ouch [19:21] If we can't pull this off, Linux simply doesn't have a place in our district then. Which is sad. I want to see this explode and work amazingly. [19:21] gsp2009: where you prompted for a pw when you edited the /etc/fstab with the samba share ? [19:21] shadow88: not that I remember. I am pretty sure it passed the creds on. [19:21] mrwizeguy1983, well i have a nvidia305 but also an inteli915 [19:21] shadow88, gsp2009, mind you I'm on the domain now. I logged in as myself and I could get to our network resources WITHOUT typing in credentials, because it passes them through. The only missing link is... well... the auto-generated link on the desktop for our less-than-tech-savy students to pick up on. [19:22] ilessthan3ubuntu, ouch indeed. wouldn't figure that installing the pre-packaged driver from ubuntu would wreck things [19:22] from ubuntu or nvidia? [19:22] With how large our network is, it's out of the question to sift through the "Network" section of Nautilus through 30 servers and 2,000 workstations just to find your server, THEN to dig up the student folder, THEN sift through hundreds of students to find your directory. [19:22] szunti: how [19:22] Roasted_: I'm sure Linux can do it. I would test it out with the edit to /etc/fstab [19:22] Roasted_: ok.. so you are using the same username naming convention on workstation and server right? [19:22] shadow88, I'm not editing fstab unless it's with wildcards. [19:23] shadow88, if editing fstab only fixes it for one user, I'll happily use Windows because I am not editing fstab for 900 users.

[20:16] ruiserra, my wireless usb adapter wasnt working either until i actually installed the driver [20:16] dhiaeldeen: Why does that matter? #ubuntu-offtopic is our social channel, #ubuntu is for support only. [20:16] Does anyone in here use wine [20:16] not me. [20:16] ruiserra, im new to linux too so I didnt know any better about 4 days ago [20:16] dhiaeldeen, this is not a offtopic chanel [20:17] ok [20:17] i will go there [20:17] jordan hello [20:17] #ubuntu-offtopic [20:17] jordan, for being new to linux, you sure have alot of problems. [20:17] My Xbuntu box gives me hell of alot of problems. [20:17] Observer_, what do u mean! I am trying to help them, not ask a question [20:18] Observer_, meaning I am trying to help somebody , not get help myself [20:18] nvm. I see you everyday.. keep it up. [20:18] What is the lfe channel? [20:19] Observer_, ah yeah, gotcha, yeah I just started using linux barely 4 days ago after saying screw M$ [20:19] M$ lol [20:19] I am liking ubuntu so am on here a lot trying to learn what i can === nert1l is now known as nertil [20:19] I started using it again cause I lost my cd key got, damnit. [20:20] jordan, Me too, but not screw M$ totaly, but for open source. For service, not business. === drc is now known as Guest78229 [20:20] tiako, yeah M$ wanted $20 per install of an os on two of my HTPC's, 320 *2 is well over $640 just for an OS [20:20] tiako, not me,lol [20:20] What good is an HTPC without Netflix [20:21] I just like this irc. [20:21] Where can I get a copy of WIndows 7 pro for 20 bucks? [20:21] Observer_, way off topic but M$ charges wayyyyyyy to much for their garbage, $seriously -over $300 dollars, rediculous [20:21] Better then the 64 bucks for losing my cd-key [20:21] !ot [20:21] #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! [20:21] You can get it much cheaper than 300.00 [20:21] Microfsoft allieance its like 20 bucks [20:22] tiako, in your dreams, go away [20:22] tiako, true, i got netflix but havent tried to set that up yet, thanks for reminding me [20:22] You cant use Netflix streaming on any linux distro. [20:22] I never bought windows other then when it came with my pc. Others i removed WAT, hehe [20:22] tiako: Really? [20:22] Yes, really.. [20:22] tiako, i got ssd's so i wanted the trim which is win7 at the least. then i wwanted the ultimate 64 bit! that right there is 320 [20:22] Netflix uses Silverlight by Microsfot [20:22] tiako: can't use it... oh ok. [20:23] can we keep this on topic please, this is a support channel [20:23] aaahhhh ok, I knew there was SOMETHING I didn't like about netflix [20:23] lol === Butwind is now known as FreddieD [20:23] Yeah it will prob never be on Linux ever. [20:23] Hi [20:23] fe: hey, what's up mate :) [20:24] tiako, cant u use wine or something for netflicks === bencahill_ is now known as bencahill [20:24] No [20:24] dangit [20:24] lol [20:24] Im not even sure a VM box would work. [20:24] I don't need streaming video, spinning it works fine for me. [20:24] !moonlight [20:24] For Microsoft Silverlight support, install Moonlight with the following command: « sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla » in a terminal. [20:24] tiako: it does work [20:24] Since when almoxrife? [20:25] mental note-- "uh oh, look what I started" [20:25] tiako: ubuntu>virtualbox>win>netflix [20:25] lol [20:25] moonlight page explicitly says that moonlight doesn't support netflix's drm === FreddieD is now known as Butwind === Kaleidomorph is now known as Kaleido|Away [20:25] And a virtual box can do 1080p? [20:26] Besides doesn't that defeat the purpose of an HTPC? === Butwind is now known as _freddied [20:26] tiako: 1080p is dependent on the hardware [20:26] Jordan: Can i use gui without any desktop package (gnome ,kde, xfce, others?) Install vnc without the desktop packages? [20:26] I know [20:26] But VM's run slower.. [20:26] I just can't see a good experince out of a VM for an HTPC [20:26] Or the point really. [20:27] you can fullscreen a VM [20:27] and there are graphics drivers for Virtualbox/VMware for that resolution [20:27] tiako: there is a #windows channel on freenode [20:27] Observer_, Ill be honest I dont know [20:27] but unless you have excessive power in your HTPC you're not going to get decent performance [20:28] tiako, yeah my htpcs arent super highend machine, i bought low power parts specifically [20:28] htpc? [20:28] !htpc | Observer [20:28] Home theater PC [20:29] tiako, just have athlon II dual core 3.1 Ghz 65watt [20:29] my htpc is a ps3 [20:29] XBMC is sick.. [20:29] yeah i want xmbc [20:29] i want it on ps3! [20:29] But yeah I kinda did away with my HTPC in hoping I could stream from my FreeNAS [20:29] thats where my network question comes in from earlier ,lol [20:29] To bad my fucking sony blu ray cant see my freenas [20:30] !language | tiako [20:30] jordan_ , look at ps3 server, works better I think [20:30] tiako: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [20:30] ps3 can't connect to a NAS? [20:30] No, Sony blu ray player cant [20:30] almoxarife, I have aps3 in the living room [20:30] oh [20:30] is this surprising? [20:30] And from my understanding the ps3 doesn't work the best with FreeNAS [20:30] Yes because the other DLNA blu ray players can [20:30] But zero sony ones can. [20:30] ps3 can only connect to upnp servers [20:31] So can my bluray but it doesn't work. [20:31] well i didnt want to use my ps3 for streaming mainly what to use it for blurays or games [20:31] you could mount your freenas to another box, run mediatomb on it and have mediatomb serve the content on the nas to ps3 [20:32] having three machines just to watch movies on your TV? [20:32] yes, overkill [20:32] Yeah kinda BS [20:32] DLNA is BS [20:32] but it would work :) [20:32] My cron job isn't running? crontab -l has: */10 * * * * /home/bin/[mybinaryhere].sh > /dev/null It's been 10 minutes with no run? Is there a way to echo when the next cron job will run? [20:32] my ps3 is the original 6ogb, wanted it specifically for the hardware inside [20:32] Is there a free minecraft client? I'm trying to setup a server for it and just wanna pay aournd. === peregrinator_six is now known as dial_up_br [20:32] So..anyone wanna take a stab at my speakers :D [20:32] why not just have a small HTPC running Windows mount the FreeNAS and do Netflix too [20:33] Yeah thats the best thing to do [20:33] or even a Mac Mini [20:33] tensorpudding, windows too much money for a lame OS [20:33] jordan_, yeah, PS3 SERVER is an app to stream to the ps3, works great, better yet, set up a web server on a machine, find all the good links, serve them up to the ps3 web browser, don't forget to tell the ps3 to get dns from same machine and have same machine strip out spam sites with dsnmasq and hosts file pointing to black hole [20:33] ninjah, is minecraft server complete isolated from mincraft.net? [20:33] Well, I turned my HTPC into a freenas and expected to be able to stream to my bluray [20:33] ninja: saperated? [20:33] My cron job isn't running? crontab -l has: */10 * * * * /home/bin/[mybinaryhere].sh > /dev/null It's been 10 minutes with no run? Is there a way to echo when the next cron job will run? I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [20:33] ninja: independent? [20:33] Windows 7 isn't bad honestly.. I liked it. [20:34] I just refuse to buy another copy of something I already own. [20:34] tiako, yeh my desktop has win7 ultimate 64 [20:34] Jon--: what does [mybinaryhere].sh do? [20:34] Its kinda tragic how I lost all my cd keys. [20:34] i like it [20:34] Observer_: I'm not connecting it to minecraft.net if I don't have to? [20:34] llutz: creates a zip file and moves it to a different folder [20:34] run freenas on your fileserver, windows on your htpc, meh [20:34] tiako, but i dont want to shell out that much for 4-5 other machines [20:35] Its too bad about netflix if it wasn't for that ubuntu would be perfect. [20:35] llutz: Does the following: cd, zip -ur, mv. [20:35] tiako, did u buy them or did u "buy" them [20:35] Jon--: using full pathes? [20:35] I really bought my cd [20:35] tiako, i agree [20:35] !ot | jordan_ tiako please respect the rules here [20:35] jordan_ tiako please respect the rules here: #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! [20:35] llutz: I used ~ in a spot. Uhoh, that might be it. [20:35] tiako, ah me too, i stuck my key in my cd case [20:36] the only thing that prevents netflix from running on moonlight is DRM [20:36] I got a student version for 54 bucks.. The student version was linked to my student email. The college wiped our emailes and switched to MSN and I lost my cd key with it. [20:36] Hello. How come I sometimes I encounter this key ring popup when I visit certain websites? [20:36] which is probably not negotiable with netflix [20:36] tiako, gotcha [20:36] Oh sorry.. [20:36] ninjah: is the minecraft gpl? [20:36] Im just make idle chat waiting for someone who is good with speakers to come along. [20:36] When you start up my operating system and run "lsmod" the libertas_sdio is missing there, if i write modprobe libertas_sdio, its added, what do I have to do to add it at startup? [20:36] making* [20:36] tiako: do it in #ubuntu-offtopic please [20:37] tiako, i do it too, any chat better than no chat [20:37] hey all, trying to get an i386 binary to run. When I change the properties of it to an executable, it reverts to non-executable instantly. Root or otherwise. Doing so in terminal garners no errors, but it still reverts. What's happening? [20:37] Observer_: Not sure [20:37] llutz: Would that have been my issue? Using ~ for /home/user ? [20:38] How do I create shortcuts in Nautilus on the left pane? I'm dragging/dropping but they aren't dropping as they should. [20:38] Salix: by changing the properties of it to executable, what do you mean? [20:38] is there a way to check windows corrupted registry from UBUNTU? [20:38] nevermind [20:38] tensorpudding: chmod +x program.i386 Or by going into properties and clicking "Mark as executable". [20:38] Jon--: change it, test it [20:38] Salix: okay [20:38] Salix: Are you issuing command; chmod +x ? [20:39] llutz: Is there a way to force current cron jobs to run now, or at least see when they will run? Is it based on $date? [20:39] terry: As root, yeah. [20:39] and you check it again and it no longer has executable permissions? [20:39] Salix: on what filesystem? [20:39] tiako: What's the problem [20:39] Salix: As root? What is it? [20:39] No bass [20:39] It changes back immediatley when I right click and go into properties. I don't even get to click okay without it already changing back. [20:39] On 5.1 hooked up with indivual cables. [20:39] Salix: What is it? [20:40] Salix: if it's on a filesystem that doesn't natively support Unix-style permissions it won't work [20:40] Salix: what filesystem is the file on? [20:40] Looks like my center and bass is shared by one cable so bass comes through my center channel. [20:40] Salix: file [20:40] Salix: So if you're mounting it from FAT or NTFS it oughtn't work [20:40] This is embarrassing. It was on a FAT16 filesystem, which would kind of explain it. [20:40] Thanks guys. [20:41] Salix: Okeydokey [20:41] tiako: Do you tried alsamixer [20:41] llutz: Is there a way to force current cron jobs to run now, or at least see when they will run? Is it based on $date? I still think it's failing. [20:41] Roasted_: was your testing success full [20:41] Jon--: You can create another entry for a time in the future, (at least a minute). [20:42] shadow88, no [20:42] Yes I did [20:42] Jon--: you can only force cronjobs from /etc/cron.daily (weekly, hourly....) [20:42] I have these speakers asdfgh [20:42] http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&xhr=t&q=logitech+5.1+speakers&cp=15&qe=TG9naXRlY2ggNS4xIHNw&qesig=hQJ6Qnbu30G4SBMvIHe3ew&pkc=AFgZ2tmNlpMSCUbFZtZYjj3TevfXUkez_lyeddHiWBPcA7GlpKg8M4HIkWsfo1SOMeRWDpWBx6n8YXDxR1r6IqEgjimwAAt3qg&bav=on.1,or.&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=16218451122923651378&sa=X&ei=BRRoTYatIqmFlgen9bCiAw&sqi=2&ved=0CEIQ8gIwAw# [20:42] tiako: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:42] shadow88, I set up local default profiles and limited their ability to change things around in the gnome menus, which was a great start. I just need to figure out the last portion fo the auto-map their stuff. After that, we can start with testing on actual labs. [20:42] crontab -l has: */10 * * * * /home/bin/[mybinaryhere].sh > /dev/null It's been 10 minutes with no run? The script is here http://pastebin.com/cPFcZeg0 [20:42] They are hooked up with 3.5 jacks [20:43] shadow88, I'm not in a rush. I'm leaving to colorado in a few hours and Im out of work in 15 minus, so I'll just post on forums and hope I dig up a response by next week [20:43] Jon--: " /home/bin/[mybinaryhere].sh " <- sure the path is correct? [20:43] llutz: lawl. thanks. [20:44] I was using /home/bin [20:44] Instead of /home/jon/bin [20:44] Failbus. [20:45] Jon--: always use ~ instead of /home/currentusername/ [20:45] Jon--: ah ok didnt see you are using cron, then use the full path [20:46] iceroot: I changed it after someone asked if I was using full path names. I thought perhaps there was an issue with ~ [20:46] Cron doesn't work with ~ I presume? [20:46] Roasted_: sorry, I couldn't help more, I'm more of a Fedora guy now but I earned Linux+ & RHCSA , started with Ubuntu 7.04 -now rolling Fedora 14, CentOS 5.5 [20:46] shadow88, good deal. I used to use fedora, but I decided to stick with ubuntu since it worked on more of my hardware. [20:46] shadow88, its a solid distro tho [20:46] Roasted_: Ubuntu room is just more fun at times [20:47] Ubuntu 11.10 full Unity [20:47] I need some help with remote desktop on ubuntu 10.10. I got it configured and connected from my windows machine using VNC but the screen doesnt update on the windows machine [20:48] On the ubuntu machine I see the inputs I do remotely but it doesnt show up on the vnc client [20:48] anyone? [20:52] is there an ssh channel for help with that [20:52] How can I hide the user list at the login screen? I don't want any users listed. === Freejack is now known as Guest69090 [20:54] shoulkd rephrase my question.... is there a better channel to get help with ssh topics [20:55] tiako: Can you paste result of "aplay -l" and "aplay -L"? [20:55] jordan_: just ask your questions [20:56] llutz, k i mainly didnt want to be told to check #SSh if it existed [20:56] Hi, I keep getting this error when I try to install ubuntu GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) Anyone got any idea ? === Jon-- is now known as Jon--away [20:56] llutz, was llokin for someone who is familiar with ssh to walk me through the steps [20:56] jordan_: a start http://principialabs.com/beginning-ssh-on-ubuntu/ [20:57] does anyone know how to see the list of PPAs I've added? they don't appeart in /etc/apt/sources.list [20:57] Is it possible to make Ubuntu automatically connect to a network printer? I'm sick of having to reset my printer settings each time I have a power outage or have to power-cycle my wifi router. [20:57] Yeah [20:57] yeh, i checked tha site out a while ago [20:57] hello!

[21:02] i use ubuntu 10.10 . the system is updated. and there is no any problem. but system is always write something on hdd .. i can not understand why but my hdd is always in use... can someone help me please ? [21:02] Lantchips, yeh i know it sux sometimes, but i think yest i asked a question a few times and someone got butthurt even though not many other ppl were talking [21:02] Even when I don't have a center channel the bass still comes thor the damn center [21:02] sara could it be hardware problem? [21:02] Lantchips, so i tried to mention that to ya before someone got on ya :D [21:03] haha [21:03] nps :P [21:03] how do i convert pdf to eps file? [21:03] Lantchips: That looks to be a bug in some piece of software or another that's trying to access manipulate a user account that doesn't exist (with id of 0). That aside, does it prevent installing Ubuntu? [21:03] Diverdude: what is eps? [21:03] nsd yes [21:03] Diverdude: Try googling ghostscript [21:04] hm, I wonder if I should also try the 2-minute interval :) [21:04] aight all, doesnt look like many on here are going to be able to guide me through the SSH setup process, so ima head off [21:04] jordan_: I don't know what that means, but its not really helpful for this channel. You can suggest !patience if you don't know the answer to the question and have noticed that no one else has answered. [21:04] jordan_: I don't see that you've asked that question. [21:04] Lantchips: Because that's not an issue other people are having and it doesn't sound related to hardware (in any way that I can think of), you might want to try checking the md5 hash of your disc image that you burned from as well as verifying the disc itself by popping it in and choosing that at the menu; it's possible that the disc is bad [21:05] Diverdude: I can't remember the exact syntax, but I'm 99% sure you can do it with that [21:05] abhinay: hahaha [21:05] nsd, hmmm [21:05] jordan_: What setup beyond 'sudo apt-get install openssh' do you need help with? [21:05] hellslinger: look into /etc/apt/sources.list.d [21:05] MaximLevitsky: hahaha [21:05] Diverdude: Is it encapsulated postscript? [21:05] jordan i have ssh server set up for my school [21:05] nsd I just installed W7 on this PC and I made a fresh new USB Was the same problem before I formatted it :/ [21:05] you need help setting it up? [21:05] Pici, ? didnt ask their question , just mentioned i asked a question I had yesterday a few times and a moderator got on me en though i asked about 7 minutes apart [21:05] Diverdude: even better: try pdf2ps [21:05] dhiaeldeen: Do you have an ubuntu support question? [21:05] Diverdude: I think that's a part of Ghostscript [21:05] pici, pretty much got told to hush basically [21:06] guntbert: yes, why the wifi no longer works on buntu [21:06] jordan_: Well its today now, and I haven't seen you ask a specific question, if you do, I'd be glad to offer assistance. [21:06] it works on xp though [21:06] Lantchips: So you're attempting a USB install instead of via a disc? [21:06] really [21:06] nsd yes [21:06] i asked an ssh question a while back [21:06] lie 4 times [21:06] jordan_: Can you ask again? [21:06] *like [21:06] sure [21:06] jordan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:06] guntbert: i put the right data into the wifi connection [21:06] dhiaeldeen: so please don't hide your question by making unnecessary comments [21:06] using 10.10 version [21:06] lol [21:07] llutz, was llokin for someone who is familiar with ssh to walk me through the steps [21:07] can someone tell m if yours ubuntu writes (about) 3 - 25 kb per sec ? [21:07] guntbert: so how to solve it [21:07] Is it possible to make Ubuntu automatically connect to a network printer? I'm sick of having to reset my printer settings each time I have a power outage or have to power-cycle my wifi router. [21:07] ? [21:07] llutzpici, was lookin for someone who is familiar with ssh to walk me through the steps [21:07] jordan_: Well what part of the setup is confusing you? [21:07] nsd Hmm I found a sorta how to solve it :/ But it feels like its sorta working around the problem [21:07] jordan_: all you need is written here http://principialabs.com/beginning-ssh-on-ubuntu/ [21:07] Pici, how to get started basically [21:07] hey mates, i have been working in C/Python/ and studying for a whole day [21:07] !wifi | dhiaeldeen did you see this? [21:07] dhiaeldeen did you see this?: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:07] this is why i need to laugh [21:07] jordan_: Is ssh installed? [21:07] Lantchips: Well, then it may be possible that something is bad on that USB. I don't know if you can verify a USB installation the way you can for a Live CD, though. You should try searching for the error message on Google if you haven't already, and try looking on Launchpad to see if a bug has been filed [21:07] dhiaeldeen: ? [21:07] Pici, i am new to linuix this week and am not familiar with a lot of what stuff is and terminalogy [21:07] guntbert: thanks [21:07] well if he has ubuntu then ssh is pretty much built in [21:08] Lantchips: I can't help you with specifics, sorry [21:08] nsd I tried on 3 different usb which are from three diffrent manuf. :/ [21:08] pici, i tihknk it is, how can i check [21:08] nsd nps :) [21:08] can anyone help me with a problem i having with vsftpd? I followed a few different very simple installation guides, but its not working. [21:08] abhinay: yes sir? [21:08] jordan do you have ubuntu [21:08] QuB1t: hahaha [21:08] tiegur, yes 10.10 [21:08] Lantchips: I would try re-downloading whatever you made the USB with -- and check the md5 hash of the download, if you can [21:08] tiegur, amd64 [21:08] well go to places at the top [21:08] dhiaeldeen: please stop that [21:08] and then connect to server [21:08] please someone can help me ? :( [21:08] nsd okok [21:08] guntbert: alright, i need to go now [21:08] jordan_: apt-cache policy openssh-client openssh-server [21:08] then click from ftp to ssh [21:09] that works too pici lol [21:09] guntbert: i am reading your document [21:09] ... [21:09] tiegur, hey, easier is better inmy book [21:09] lol [21:09] dhiaeldeen: I hope it will help, if not please come back [21:09] Anyone know of how I can set up a server to automatically fetch mail from a SMTP server somewhere else on the 'net and make it available locally, like with Dovecot? I'm not asking for someone to hold my hand, just point me to a program/man page :) [21:09] as long as you know your server you want to connect to and port( usually 22( [21:09] guntbert: thanks :) [21:10] I wonder what dhiaeldeen was doing that was offensive? I didn't see anything particularly heinous being said [21:10] it should mount the server to your desktop after you connect. will probably ask you for password [21:10] nsd: have you seen fetchmail? [21:10] doesnt connect [21:10] let me go check the ip [21:11] tiako: Do you use jack, cinch or SPDIF? [21:11] guntbert: I've heard of it, yes [21:11] Jack [21:11] oh well, looks like a lot of questions in here but no answers [21:11] can anyone help me with a problem i having with vsftpd? I followed a few different very simple installation guides, but its not working. I just need a simple ftp where users can connect and upload to their home folders. [21:11] you have correct server port and user name make sure [21:11] zs1otb: hey, where did you go ? :( [21:11] guntbert: Can I use that to dump mail in a mbox or something that Dovecot feeds to the LAN? [21:11] tiako, Can you use spdif? [21:11] No [21:11] guntbert: hey, it used to work before [21:11] guntbert: brb [21:11] tiako, Works on Windows? [21:12] guntbert: but after I edited the config and installed the driver it no longer worked :( [21:12] Yes [21:12] sit and wait for the time interval to be up, or just leave? think I'll just leave, this place is no help at all some times [21:12] jqua: hello jqua, have a nice day. [21:12] tiegur, k , i have the ip of the pc [21:13] dhiaeldeen: mind you I'm no expert with wifi (mine just worked...) - what driver did you install? what changes did you make to your config? [21:13] dhiaeldeen: We don't need the extra traffic in this already busy channel, you don't need to say hello to everyone who joins. Thanks! [21:13] I'm here but quite tired... but I have not left the planet yet.. [21:13] Is it possible to manage partitions (create, edit, delete, etc) while running Ubuntu (not the live cd)? [21:13] I have misplaced my live cd :( [21:13] do you know the port youre supposed to connect on? [21:13] Pici: thanks [21:13] tiegur, no [21:13] markskilbeck, no [21:14] well you need that [21:14] try 22 [21:14] but if that doesnt work then you need to find out [21:14] tiako, So it sounds like center acts as subwoofer? [21:14] tiegur, tired ip and p 22 [21:14] *tried [21:14] yes to a certain extent [21:14] hmm what server are you trying to connect to? [21:14] my pc(server) [21:14] do you want to resize partitions?

[21:15] running the same 10.10 [21:15] gparted or any partition editor [21:15] asdfgh, Yes as far as I can tell. When I test center or sub it all comes out of center.

[21:16] oh well the default port is 22 so hmm [21:16] Diverdude: Is it encapsulated postscript? [21:16] there is in fact a howto telling you how to manage partitions [21:16] Francis2: What seems to be the problem?

[21:20] well the terminal is your friend [21:20] ndxtg: i aggre with guntbert [21:20] you should learn basic commands with that if you want to get anywhere with ubuntu [21:20] Does anybody know how I can prevent the workspace switcher from moving the active window when I switch workspaces using the keyboard?

[21:23] Nate2: here it doesn't [21:23] guntbert: Yeah I just installed 10.10 yesterday and I'm getting this behavior [21:23] Nate2: You must have that one window set to be on all workspaces. [21:23] terry: It does it with all windows, whatever window has focus will move with me [21:24] [ctrl]+[alt]+[left/right] just move from workspaces to an other [21:24] !coralcastle [21:24] maybe you put an "always on active desktop" behavior on a window [21:24] Nate2: I've never seen that sort of issue. (Mine has never done that.) So... just be something particular to your configuration.0 [21:24] Yeah [21:25] I did a standard install yesterday, I haven't configured anything other than the window theme [21:25] !droidpwnsiOS [21:26] http://imagebin.org/139914 [21:26] I have tried every profile but nothing works. [21:27] Where would I look for things such as whether a window is set to "always active workspace"? [21:27] rww, my bad, just messin around [21:27] Nate2: Right-click on the title bar. "Always on Visible Workspace" [21:28] can some one help me [21:28] !ask | dutchuss2016 [21:28] dutchuss2016: 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. :-) [21:28] Well this chatwindow is set to "Only on this workspace", but when I switch workspaces it comes with me [21:28] i need help understanding something im new too linux and ubuntu [21:29] ndxtg: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization [21:29] guntbert: thank you :) [21:29] dutchuss2016, ask already [21:29] tiako, And in output tab there are connector-or-something-like-this try all of them. [21:29] dutchuss2016: go, ask you question, we are listening to you [21:29] Nate2: Does it do it when you click on the "Workspace switched" panel app? To click for new workspaces rather than keyboard shortcuyt them? [21:29] ok i made a file containing this #!/bin/bash [21:29] cd "${0%/*}"; java -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar [21:29] ndxtg: no problem :) === max is now known as Guest73710 [21:29] Starminn: No - when I click on the workspace nothing comes with me [21:30] byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [21:30] Starminn: This is the behavior I want when I use the keyboard commands [21:30] and the directions say too open the terminal say too type in chmod a+x then too drag the file i created intoo the terinal [21:30] asdfgh ok Ill try them all [21:30] Nate2: Hmm... Try doing CTRL+ALT+SHIT+[Arrow Key] -- maybe they got confused? [21:30] dutchuss2016, ok, following [21:31] and i got an error from the consol saying chmod doesent exist [21:31] Nate2: maybe a differnt shortcut, try to check it in /system menu [21:31] dutchuss2016, try, sudo chmod a+x [21:31] dutchuss2016: what is this script for ? [21:32] dutchuss2016: to start it use : ./nameofthescript [21:32] seblabel Nate2: Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I was gonna say if that doesn't work, go to System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts and go about 1/2 way down to "Window Management" and look for stuff about workspaces [21:32] Starminn: Whoa - I just tried using Shift in my keyboard shortcut to switch workspaces and it didn't do anything, but now when I use the command without Shift it does switch workspaces without moving the window with me [21:32] ok give me a second its on a different computer [21:32] Starminn: Yeah I changed the shortcut to Ctrl+Mod4+Arrow Key [21:32] Nate2: Lol, I think they got confused somewhere along the line. Follow my last message and adjust it accordingly (or leave it if you want) [21:32] Nate2: great!!! [21:32] asdfgh, I tried them all every single one the sub comes through as center. [21:32] Nate2: Awesome. :) === chris_ is now known as Guest41630 [21:33] Starminn: What got confused? [21:33] Nate2: What's *supposed* to happen is CTRL+ALT+[ArrowKey] moves workspaces without touching windows. CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+[ArrowKey] is supposed to bring the window with you. ;) [21:34] Nate2: That's why I suggested just saying, "Fine, you don't want me to do that, I'll do the opposite then!" [21:34] Starminn: Oh wow - I'm looking at my Keyboard Shortcuts and it appears that I've modified the wrong shortcuts! [21:34] Nate2: maybe you just made confusion between the diffrent keys [21:35] Starminn: Simple error, I modified the wrong window management shortcuts! [21:35] after doing the steps with sudo infront of the chmod it did nothing [21:35] Nate2: :) Well there we go. User error. ;) [21:35] Starminn: Ha, well, that's right - thanks for making me realize it quicker! [21:35] dutchuss2016: write your command here please [21:35] dutchuss2016, what do you mean nothing, no error? then it worked... [21:35] dutchuss2016: sounds good (linux command are usually quiet unless there is an error) [21:35] Nate2: If you need I can show you my shortcuts so you can get the defaults back (I don't think I've ever modified mine) [21:35] sudo chmod a+x (drag file ) [21:35] now run the script like seblabel said [21:36] dutchuss2016: a sudo should ask for your password [21:36] Starminn: Please, could you tell me the 4 shortcuts for "Move window one workspace to the {left,right,up,down}? [21:36] dutchuss2016: did it ask for it ? [21:36] which is at home/minecraft/desktop/server 1/start [21:36] it did [21:36] ctrl-alt and arrow [21:36] anyone happen to know what this means: **** Warning: stream operator not terminated by valid EOL.

[21:40] here is the exact copy from the terminal [21:40] minecraft@ubuntu:~$ sudo chmod a+x '/home/minecraft/Desktop/server 1/start' [21:40] minecraft@ubuntu:~$ [21:40] oh here we go... [21:40] yes, but if he doesn't know this, he maybe doesn't know how to write script! [21:41] Starminn: Thanks a lot, I got what I needed :D [21:41] Hi. I need to download a file files to my /home/ folder ( I have no sudo access ). But it appears that outgoing connections are somewhat limited (I can't connect via ftp to anything, nor I can wget anything off the web, the lynx browser doesn't open pages) What are other options to getting files besides these? [21:41] Nate2: Not a problem. [21:41] "/home/minecraft/Desktop/server\ 1/start" [21:41] what is your script for ? [21:41] ?? what about the directory [21:42] launching a minecraft server in java [21:42] i can give you the script file as well [21:42] ok [21:42] is it the first time you do it ? [21:43] dutchuss2016: in any case, try to avoid spaces in directory name or file name [21:43] dutchuss2016, does a 'ls -al' show its executable from the chmod +x [21:43] 'start' that is [21:43] # ! /bin/bash [21:43] cd "${ 0%/* } "; java -xms512m -xmx1024m -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-snapshot.jar [21:43] So im thinking there must be a way to force the sound to the sub somehow?

(I guess that could that be nullified by the fact that it's not officially supported if, say, a new release is pushed that isn't put in the package manager by the Ubuntu maintainer?) [22:08] ndxtg: see https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/aptitude.html [22:09] !info wicd | Blrai [22:09] Blrai: wicd (source: wicd): wired and wireless network manager - metapackage. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.0+ds1-5 (maverick), package size 40 kB, installed size 88 kB [22:09] guntbert: nice google skill, that's what im looking for :) [22:09] Is there a way I can make it so the plugins I install run on all accounts on the computer [22:09] maybe wicd is a solution for you [22:09] ndxtg: its easier if you've seen the page before :-) [22:09] hi folks! How do I add a new Gnome session, with a slighter different gconf settings (e.g. another Window Manager)? [22:10] Blrai: you should start a live session from a live cd then [22:10] and try to install wicd [22:10] ok do I copy and past this, Im new to all of this [22:11] then you will see if you material is ok with wicd [22:11] and if it is ok, you will be able to use it in the hard install [22:11] speakman: If you want to use another window manager, you should just be able to install it with Synaptic and choose it from gdm. As far as maintaining different gconf settings per window manager (per user), you'd probably have to write a script for that, that ran every time you logged into the alternate window manager [22:12] but keep a network-manager package if possible [22:12] tiako, better post this on forum [22:12] to be able to go back on internet if any preoblem [22:12] nsd: ok, I thought I could just add another session or something. [22:13] I have twice plmkoi. [22:13] speakman: Well, I don't know if you _can't_ for sure, so you'd better check the official docs, but otherwise you can write a script to do that [22:13] One in Sound and media the other in General Help [22:13] seblabel when I tried to make the ISO disk like the web site showed it was to large for the CD [22:13] nsd: I like to run Xmonad as window manager, but I prefer running it under Gnome which gives me a very good happy medium [22:13] where tiako [22:13] My hard disk is acting strange. It keeps getting filled up automatically. Can anybody help? [22:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1694009 [22:14] speakman: If you like a good cross between gnome and another WM, just edit your config files for that other WM and add the gnome programs to whatever startup method it has [22:14] nsd: what is "sessions" really? Just different starting points? [22:14] nsd: I like running Xmonad as window manager for Gnome: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome [22:15] naeblis do you performed updates? [22:15] speakman: gnome-session manages gnome settings like what desktop background and borders and such to use [22:15] anyone here use backbox? [22:15] nsd: just apperance stuff? [22:15] Blrai: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide/Commands [22:15] seblabel where do get wcid [22:15] is there a browser that is java? === herton_ is now known as herton [22:15] plmkoi : nope. I installed a small program yesterday which changes the monitor color based on time of the day. nothing more [22:15] Blrai: this is wicd [22:16] how come my menus all screwed up after running: $ /etc/init.d/dbus restart [22:16] ? [22:16] btf0rc3: irc.autistici.org #backbox [22:16] speakman: Mostly. There's other gnome daemons that manage other parts of the gnome desktop, like the gnome keyring manager which manages your passwords. If that's not running, for example, some programs won't work like Update Manager or will ask you to manually unlock the keyring [22:16] thanks [22:16] naeblis, redshift? [22:17] seblabel going there now [22:17] plmkoi: f.lux [22:17] speakman: I use FVWM with lines in my config to manually start many of those daemons: gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-screensaver, gnome-power-manager, and nautilus [22:17] plmkoi : btw, 792M /var . someone told me to perform this check [22:18] nsd: I guess I just change window manager when I need. [22:18] speakman: that is always an option; sometimes I use Gnome, and sometimes I use FVWM and all I have to do is select which WM from the menu at the login screen (gdm) [22:19] naeblis how much free space do you have before and after? [22:19] When you do setenv ipaddres:number.number usually 0.0 what does these two last number mean? [22:19] Now just wondering why Linux won't find my other graphics card [22:20] seblabel Ok some of this looks like windows and I figure that is a bad word here but I have used some of these comands in that OS [22:20] Hello guys... i need for one user to have EXACTLY the same permissions as other user, but being different users, and i need for them to have same permissions by default, it is not possible to keep updating permissions [22:20] plmkoi : about 2 gigs before, 0.98 after. I restarted after a log file yesterday, it went to 1.54. just now it started decreasing, but returned back after a few mins t 1.54 [22:20] Blrai: before trying wicd do this : [22:20] *deleting a log file [22:21] fagel: are you talking about programming in c? [22:21] guntbert: No I am talking about x11 forwarding :-) [22:21] the key-combinations "meta + s", "meta + d" and "meta + m" of my wmii are not working; config is mostly default except meta-key = mod4; any ideas? [22:21] naeblis, i dont know what it could be. [22:21] Blrai: wait a minute [22:22] fagel: it has to do with the x window display number [22:22] seblabel OK [22:22] fagel: there is no command setenv (as far as I know) [22:22] guntbert: setenv csh command [22:23] fagel: why don#T you use ssh -X ? [22:23] plmkoi : thanks anyways. I'll look into the forums, but I doubt I'll find a solution soon :( [22:23] itaylor57: true :-) [22:23] fagel: It's what DISPLAY is set to. See 'echo $DISPLAY'. The first number is the display, the second is the screen (usually always 0) [22:23] So I suppose its impossible for these speakers to work with this connection? [22:24] soreau,: Ok So I should use the same as already set. e.g localhost:10.0 [22:24] fagel: I don't know what you're trying to do but 'echo $DISPLAY' from a terminal emulator in X should show what it's set to [22:25] Hi all... this is probably a bit of a noobie question, but I've been googling and I can't find the answer. How do I permanently configure a WPA2 (WPA-PSK) wifi network using the /etc/network/interfaces file in Ubuntu 10.10 server?

However the computer I am accessed in nested deeply inside the network over at work [22:25] willwork4foo: no [22:25] ok I was wondering.

[22:27] Blrai: it is for you, to keep a network-manager package before installing wicd [22:27] soreau: Yes I can ssh in succesfully, and i can ssh to antoher computer and get xclock running [22:27] fagel: so why not use ssh -X? [22:28] soreau : I'll try that [22:28] seblabel do I add it lets say from a place I know I can find it [22:28] I'm currently trying to do link bonding of 3 wlan interfaces together into one single logical interface, and my network is WPA2 protected [22:28] Blrai: don't worry about that [22:28] Hello!

Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [22:29] Hi. Ubuntu 10.10 here. When I do updates I get a "You have to configure "localepurge" type message. What is it and where can I read up on it?

[22:35] !upnp | rmd_ [22:35] rmd_: To stream media to other UPNP aware devices (such as the Xbox, PS3, or iRadio) you need a UPNP server. See !info mediatomb for information regarding the MediaTomb package [22:35] Ugh. I don't like MediaTomb. [22:35] It's like some crap a 14 year old thought looked really cool. [22:35] rmd_, http://www.subsonic.org/ [22:35] Plus, I don't have pnp devices. Just other computers. [22:35] Doinkle: Thanks. Am looking it up. Danke.

[22:40] rmd_, goes past that, it can stream to a website on a lan(or wan) :) [22:40] The wan/lan would be nice, but the upload speed on this DSL line doesn't lend itself to HQ music or video streaming outside of the LAN [22:41] Holy cow [22:41] this is crowded.

[22:54] like a package or something that would do all the dirty work? [22:55] Nicolas_Leonidas: like as a server? I don't know if just the subversion package has support for that, but you could try searching Synaptic for a svn server [22:55] no help?

I don't know enough about svn to know what it takes to setup a server; you may even be able to do that with the subversion package [22:58] nertilov: like bastidraZor said, I don't think that's available from the CD; otherwise, enable it in your software sources if it's not already [22:58] Hello everyone === nosaj- is now known as nosaj [23:00] is it safe to upgrade to Natty tonight? :P i'm running a x201 from Lenovo and Maverick [23:00] couillard45682, no [23:00] can I delete /var/bin/gdm directory?

I think its coz of the files in this folder...and I can't seem to delete it, even with sudo [23:05] question, ubuntu seems to be alot smarter than windows on booting and targetting hdd/partitions, if my ubuntu partition is NOT partition 0, if i resize partition 0 so that the start of ubuntu is shifted to the left, and then expand ubuntu to fill in the gap (ie make ubuntu bigger by shrinking first), will ubuntu boot fine still? i know when i resized the partition before my windows partition before windows died cause it used exact byte count to start of its parti [23:06] Milind ask in #bash [23:07] Aikar: if you dont kill grub, everything will be the same [23:07] milind, i would recommend "rsync -a --exclude '*.swap' dira dirb" [23:07] Whats the best *buntu distro for this pc: amd 1.8GHz, 2GB ram, HD4650? [23:07] Aikar: If you try it and it doesn't boot, you can still reconfigure grub to save your installation. [23:07] Naeblis, are you sure, it's this folder?

[23:23] Sunsp0t: There's gpod IIRC and possibly songbird if it's still around [23:23] drexl, doesn't rhythmbox support it? or No? [23:24] I just opened Rhythmbox and it detected the Nano. Says I have to initialize it. [23:24] Sunsp0t: not sure my roomy's been messing around with it and gets' peed that linux hasn't cracked it yet [23:24] Eloff: How about "touch /path/to/file | sometexttoaddtofile > /path/to/file" ? [23:24] Eloff: echo "hello world" > myfile.txt [23:24] Eloff: Just a guess [23:25] drexl, no luck - rhythmbox says unsupported checksum. [23:25] i tried the echo one, but how do you mix that with sudo? [23:25] How well does wine run iTunes? [23:25] Sunsp0t: not well I think, too darn big. [23:25] Eloff: Add sudo before it. [23:25] Eloff: that is actually tricky.. and the various ways are kinda ugly. [23:25] doesn't work [23:25] SHIT [23:26] No I have to dualboot just to use this damn mp3 player?

[23:27] I've got a VirtualBox Ubuntu server install and I just added a second network adapter. Is there an easy way for me to setup the eth1? ifconfig only shows eth0. [23:27] what are those .distUpgrade or .save ones in particular? [23:27] zen_monkey: same kind as sources.list is. its just so you can have separate files per repo and delete the file to get rid of it [23:28] zen_monkey: those ones with suffixes are backups from before you upgraded [23:28] maco, nice, so deleting them removes the ppa right?} [23:28] Eloff: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Downsides%20of%20using%20sudo "ls | sudo tee -a /root/somefile" === xult01 is now known as Schlipsnerd [23:28] Psydoll: You mean the one that adds "File, Edit, etc.." to the panel?

[23:29] http://www.youtube.com/user/Tru3m0sl3m#p/u/0/bY3W1pvHLSU [23:29] you can clearly see him with it there [23:29] Eloff: when i need to do lot of root commands or stuff like that, i simply do 'sudo bash' [23:29] at the bottom [23:30] then everything you type in that is root [23:30] then exit when done [23:30] Aikar: Prefer "sudo -i" [23:30] Aikar, true, that's a lot less ugly [23:30] wad: i prefer not that so that ill keep same env and keep home to user home etc lol [23:30] does anybody know of a good program for tracking things that you've done? (not things that you're going to do) I'm after something for keeping track of car repairs and i'd like to do something other than a spread sheet for it [23:30] and keep my special bashrc loaded too [23:30] Psydoll: Yes, a dock. There are multiples. Open up the Software Center and search for "dock" I use Avant, many people use Docky, and Cairo is also pretty common. [23:30] simcop2387: calendar [23:30] Aikar: Then use "sudo -s" [23:31] CarlFK: thanks [23:31] Psydoll Used to use avant* (I got tired of having a dock eventually) [23:31] Hi!

[23:32] Psydoll: Well, I can only speak for Avant as that's the only one I've used, but basically you can stick it on any side of the screen which is nice, yit shows all open programs (if you want), it provides quick shortcuts to apps, you can switch desktops with it, you can access the GNOME Main Menu (or GnoMenu), the weather, trash bin, etc., etc. [23:33] very nice!

[23:40] I am serious as well [23:40] McLeopold, what's the question? [23:40] Ask away :) [23:40] wad, i know wine. but i cant even get the contents displayed [23:40] apox: Should've installed Windows first. :P [23:40] I've got a VirtualBox Ubuntu server install and I just added a second network adapter.

I am trying to only copy a certain format (FLAC) and the directory that contains the FLAC to a new location. How would I do this? [23:42] McLeopold: [23:42] wad apox_ You don't *have* to -- there are guides out there for it, but it's very highly suggested that Windows goes first. [23:42] McLeopold: will it be on the same network as eth0 [23:42] auro1: i don't think it is virtualbox specific, but I just need to have the server redetect all interfaces for me [23:42] But i just got everything working fine with ubuntu :P [23:42] raido: no, I'm hoping for an eth0 NAT and eth1 host-only to work. [23:42] would love any help that can be given....current /proc/cmdline is the "BOOT_IMG" line [23:42] apox_ What do you need it for? If it's simple tasks running it in a Virtualbox may be enough. [23:43] I'm having trouble with a 5.1 system on Ubuntu 10.10 and an integrated ALC850: http://hashcookie.net/uploads/a0ebec316c_kasstljud.ogg When I open pavucontrol and change the Profile to something not 5.1 and back it works correctly.

[23:43] Well, he doesn't HAVE to do that. [23:43] anyone has ideas why my iptables rules disappear after reboot ? i have used sudo iptables-save [23:44] He could, in theory, just make another partition and move his entire home folder in there before nuking Ubuntu. [23:44] tiox so if i install, lets say kubuntu so i get the grub menu i can install windows after ? :/ [23:44] Possibility, but only if you installed Windows beforehand. [23:44] raido: okay, it shows in ifconfig, but only an ipv6 address [23:44] i killed windows booting by installing linux yesterday. still trying to fix that. :P [23:45] i have a windows partion but i cant boot it, says it missing something [23:45] But try this out. [23:45] apox_ The problem with installing Windows after Linux is that Linux uses GRUB for the bootloader. Windows uses its own and it tends to hide GRUB so you can't use it and you have to end up reinstalling. [23:45] auro1 it doesn't show up in grub? [23:45] (renuked my linux install was a bad idea i guess.) [23:45] Oh... [23:45] you have to put yoru windows disk in the cdrom [23:45] and then run fixmbr [23:45] McLeopold: Yeah, now you have to config it with ifconfig. i.e. ifconfig eth1 1.1.1.1 [23:45] Vitasoy: Sure it does. It just gives me a __ blinking for 5-10 seconds [23:45] limecat: Never use mobo raid. Always use md. There are many very good reasons for this. [23:45] windows needs its own master boot record [23:45] Vitasoy: then it goes back to grub [23:45] apox_: If you really cannot figure out what is missing in Windows and want to format that partition... [23:45] wad oic [23:45] so.....reinstall? [23:45] linecat: I'd recommend it highly. [23:45] Vitasoy: its on the right partition and i can still see my system drive from linux [23:46] Use Synaptic to back up everything installed, then copy your home folder into an empty Ext4 partition. [23:46] McLeopold: etccc. The config your talking about is not simple and will require some iptables rules etc [23:46] raido: is this going to stick, or should I modify a config file somewhere? [23:46] I cant reinstall, i dont have any pc to format the drive with [23:46] auro1: your windows boot management is messed up then=o [23:46] wad: ok :\ i thought mobo raid was slightly less reliable than dedicated, and moreso than fakeraid [23:46] McLeopold: /etc/network/interfaces [23:46] Vitasoy: got any clue on how i can fix that? (I thought it was osmething like that) - It messed up after i nuked my linux (after doing chmod 777 on everything. :P)) [23:46] McLeopold: you are basically building a router [23:46] apox_: You have a LiveCD, don't you? [23:47] limecat, mobo raid is just software RAID implemented in firmware. Linux's "md" is vastly more flexible, powerful, stable, and supported. [23:47] Kill your operating systems, reinstall WIndows first, then install Ubuntu, reinstall everything with Synaptic and the packages you backed up with it earlier and move everything from your Home into the new home folder. [23:47] After that, reboot, finished. [23:47] auro1: you chmod 777 to everything? why=| [23:47] Starminn, ye of ubuntu, kubuntu, linux mint [23:47] Should take about nine hours. [23:47] auro1: your linux partition is probably messed up now, so I would just format that partition [23:47] apox_: Then you can do what tiox is saying. [23:47] auro1: boot up just windows, it will give you a boot error [23:47] Vitasoy: i did the chmod 777 yesterday [23:47] raido: actually, I don't want forwarding, just to networks. [23:47] auro1: then put in your windows cd to repair it [23:48] Vitasoy: then someone suggested nuking linux. after the reinstall i couldn't boot into windows [23:48] auro1: correct u wouldn't be able to [23:48] auro1: download ms-sys and fix your mbr [23:48] auro1: but if you put in ur windows cd in [23:48] Vitasoy: lost it. got my key right here and i downloaded a cd. now im trying to use unetbootin to get it onto a usb disc [23:48] wad: would it be worth opening a ticket about "using mobo raid is likely to fail hard"? i mean, is this a known issue? [23:48] Ah! [23:48] Ah ah! [23:48] Fixing windows after destroying Linux: [23:48] McLeopold: Ok, good luck [23:48] wad: the installer even seemed to recognize the raid an was helpful about it [23:48] auro1: just burn a windows cd / or put your windows image on a USB and boot from that and run the repair [23:48] drexl: that sounds like a thing im going to try right now - [23:48] Well, yes. [23:48] But there is a better way. [23:49] Vitasoy: im trying to lure my usb drive into loading the cd :p i can easily boot from usb (how i installed linux and windows) [23:49] If he can burn himself a CD for WIndows, and it's Vista, I discovered I could simply fix the MBR and it worked. [23:49] auro1: they took it down from the repos because microsoft complained yopu'll need to compile it [23:49] but ill try the ms-sys first [23:49] raido: thx [23:49] oops need to hook in netork [23:49] thanks for help wad [23:49] McPeter: np [23:49] auro1: it should work, good lucl [23:49] drexl: damn. can you give me a quickguide? <.< [23:49] Vitasoy: THANKS!
