AmpelbeinGuest57451: you have a non-ubuntu source in your apt sources00:07
Guest57451what does that mean00:08
Guest57451a nonubuntu source00:08
AmpelbeinGuest57451: somewhere in /etc/apt/* you have added a debian repository00:08
Guest57451how do i solve this?00:08
AmpelbeinGuest57451: open update manager, go to settings and deactivate the non-ubuntu repositories00:09
CannibalI downloaded the deb file for wicd, tried to install by usb sitick, and it told me it failed to download package files00:10
Guest57451so the ppas i installed are interfering with the installation?00:10
CannibalSo how do I install Wicd without an internet connection exactly?00:11
Guest57451sorry i dont quite understand00:11
bazhangCannibal, you got all the dependencies?00:11

rannickichbinsnicht, what do you mean?00:27
ichbinsnichtthen you have to install resolvconf00:27
rannicksteven__, i'm sorry, i just meant that you jsut posted that a minute ago...00:27
=== imp___ is now known as imp_
ichbinsnichtthen you have to enter nameserver 127.0.0.1 in the resolv.conf00:28
xtracLumenary,00:28
xtracok ill try and find it00:28
ichbinsnichti have done that00:28
MrMintanetHow can I verify that samba is running?00:28
MrMintanetHow can I verify that samba is not corrupt?00:28
ichbinsnichtbut now, when i start tor, it says could not bind to 127.0.0.1:53: permission denied00:28
ichbinsnichtwhy is that?00:29
osseMrMintanet, I thing the easiest way would be to press Alt+F2 and then type in "gksudo nautilus"00:29

Lumenarytype command "ps ax | grep smb | grep -v grep [press enter key]00:29
Lumenaryif you get a result back, the SAMBA daemon is running00:30
Ampelbeinsteven__: the base problem is that the kernel prioritizes i/o operations higher than sound and if your cpu is busy loading a file, it can't move audio data fast enough00:30

LumenaryMrMintanet:  SAMBA is running00:31
ichbinsnichtnothing happens when i enter this command00:31
steven__Ampbelin: I've used several other operating systems on the same machine and had no problems. Is there anyway to remedy it?00:31
Lumenaryaccording to the process list00:31
rannickichbinsnicht, i did a research paper on tor, and unless you are using a tool that automatically puts DNS requests throught there, torify is your way to go.  i beleive torbutton on firefox does this.  as far as entering it in on the command line and it stil ldoing that for all programs, i think its possible that freecap will help. i've never used it, though, i jsut use torify...00:31
MrMintanetLumenary, I can not access my shares from my Win7 computer.  How should I start troubleshooting?  I have a good ping between the computers.00:31
CannibalI'm having the same problem installing the dependancies as I was installing wicd.00:31
silverlightninghi00:32
Ampelbeinsteven__: what audio system, what hardware, what version of ubuntu?00:32
rannickichbinsnicht, i immediately rescind my research paper talk, it was for an undergraduate class, so it wasnt a big deal00:32
raidotuzlo: do you have the install cd00:32
LumenaryMrMintanet:  I need more information...  What kind of Linux machine is hosting the SAMBA shares?00:33
MrMintanetLumenary, 10.10 Desktop00:33
LumenaryUbuntu Server, or plain Ubuntu?  Or Kubuntu (KDE + Ubuntu)00:33
LumenaryOK00:33
ichbinsnichtrannick: i don't want to use programs like torify to torify certain applications...i want all dns request forwarded to tor ...00:33
steven__Ampelbein: I'm using ubuntu 10.10 desktop with a Creative soundblaster 24 bit Live. I have a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with 512MB RAM and 200GB HDD00:33
LumenaryFirst thing is to make sure that you have shared your folders in Nautilus (file manager)00:33
MrMintanetLumenary, I have.  They are def. shared and even allow users to modify file contents00:34
rannickichbinsnicht, yeah, i hear you. i've never done that, but im sure it involves setting up a DNS proxy like it sounded like you were doing...00:34
londonmet050is there away one can save settings in usb ubuntu live cd00:34
ichbinsnichti just wonder why i get permission denied when i add DNSListenAddress 127.0.0.1 and DNSPort 53 to the torrc...any idea why that is?00:34
MrMintanetlondonmet050, Yea, you install Ubuntu.  :)00:35
sinnisisn't it somehow possible to just tell the system to use an actual monitor instead of a virtual terminal when i do "DISPLAY=:1 xinit /usr/bin/windowmanager -- :1 &"?00:35
LumenaryMrMintanet:  Right-click one of your shared folders and open the sharing properties00:35
MrMintanetOk00:35
LumenaryAnd let me know how it's setup00:35
londonmet050MrMintanet:  Can I make a install on USB drive00:35
silverlightningsteven_ you most likely would benefit with more RAM, but if it runs all right it's not that important00:35
Drahxhey guys, noob question, how can I transfer a file from a USB drive to a folder?00:35
silverlightningmake a folder, then right click, and choose "send to" ?00:36
MrMintanetRight Click -> Sharing Options ->  "Checked" Share this folder, Share Name:  downloads, No comment,  "Checked" Allow others to create and delete files in this folder, GREYED OUT Guest access (for people without a user account)00:37
MrMintanetlondonmet050, Yes.00:37

LumenaryMrMintanet:00:37
silverlightningdrahx, " send to" from USB device folder of course00:37
MrMintanetLumenary, Yes... :)00:38
LumenaryMrMintanet:  OK, next, open a terminal and issue the following command:00:38
rannickichbinsnicht, i am unsure.  i don't think this link will be helpful, but maybe you somehow missed it or something ...https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/PreventingDnsLeaksInTor00:39
Lumenarysudo smbpasswd -a usernameofpersononwindowscomputer00:39
MrMintanetDone00:39
Lumenarythe FIRST password you will be asked for is your OWN ubuntu password00:39
ichbinsnichtin the manual it says you have to execute the command prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; to prevent overriting the resolv.conf...but it says that this command doesnt exist in ubuntu00:39
MrMintanetLumenary, both usernames and passwords are the same on both machines.00:40
Lumenarythen you will need to give the password of the user account to register in SAMBA (twice)00:40
Piciichbinsnicht: Its not a command. It something you need to put into /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf00:40
CannibalI continue to fail to install each and every of the Wicd dependancies, and am given the same error "Failed to download package files. Check your internet connection."00:40
EnigmaticCoderWhy was apt-get mysteriouslly running? I couldn't download a package from Ubuntu Software Center, so I ran ps -A. And there was an apt-get process?00:40
MrMintanetLumenary, Still unaccessible.... :(00:40
steven__silverlightning: I'm actually looking into some more RAM anyway, haha. But I was just checking around here out of curiosity to see if anyone else had any ideas that might remedy the problem00:41
MrMintanetLumenary, I will tackle this problem later.  I am sure that I messed up samba somehow by installing GADMIN Tools00:41
MrMintanet:(00:41
rannickdoes anyone know where ubuntu (alsa) hides the current audio capture device,  my /dev/ folder is not showing /dev/dsp OR /dev/audio*, but i can see the USB microphone working inside of sound properties.00:41
LumenaryIt is possible00:41
ichbinsnichtok, done that...do i have to restart now?00:42
LumenaryA quick way out of this may be to open Synaptic, search for anything "samba", mark anything that is installed for "Complete Removal", reboot, then reinstall the samba components w/ Synaptic00:42
LumenaryYou may also want to install SWAT (Samba Web Admin Tool)00:43
=== homie_ is now known as homiethesock
ichbinsnichti will reboot now and see if it works .... brb00:43
MrMintanet Lumenary, Thx.  I'll give that a shot.  Hmm.  SWAT sounds kinda cool.  Will def. check that out.  Thanks a lot!  I wish I could have figured this out, but the fam. is tired of waiting for a nerd to get a network share going!  We are watching Unknown with Liam Neeson.00:43
Lumenarythen pop open a Web browser, and go to http://localhost:901/00:44
ichbinsnichtthanks00:44
MrMintanetLumenary, I guess I'll just use a thumb drive for now!  DOH!00:44
LumenaryNot sure that SWAT is compatible w/ Ubuntu's new Upstart boot-up system, though00:44
LumenaryMay need to do some good research before diving in00:44
MrMintanetYea, I won't tinker with SWAT till I get SMB working right00:45
LumenaryAnyone else here have any idea if SWAT runs w/ Lucid on up?00:45
LumenaryMrMintanet:  Google returned this:  http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/05/how-to-easily-manage-samba-with-swat-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/00:46
MrMintanetI'm actually on 10.1000:46
LumenaryMrMintanet:  10.10 would be similar00:46
MrMintanet;)00:47
MrMintanetThx again.  G2G00:47
LumenaryThey both use Upstart and both provide xinetd as an service initialization daemon00:47
deckardI'm having issues getting a new ubuntu installation to boot. my system setup is going to take a paragraph or two to describe though00:47
deckardso I have Windows XP on my main SATA partition (sdb), and a long time ago I put ubuntu on an IDE drive (sda) to dual boot. My PC still boots grub from that installation. I tried installing a newer version of ubuntu on a different partition of the SATA (sdb). I also recently installed an additional SATA drive I'm just using for data storage.00:48
cyixWhere should I start looking for info on making my 10.10 my LAN's File Server not via an FTP daemon? All the other boxes are Win XP's.00:48
ichbinsnichtok, i inserted prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;  in  resolv.conf but there are still the nameservers of my isp, because they are fetched via dhcp ... prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; should prevent this...why isnt this working?00:48
deckardWhen I boot my PC it only gives me 3 options: IDE, SATA, or CD ROM. When I choose IDE I get the old grub menu and I can still get to Windows from there. But if I choose SATA it tells me "Selected boot device not available"00:48
deckardso one thing I'm not sure of.. is it possible it's trying to boot off the wrong SATA HD, i.e. the data one?00:49
Lumenarydeckard:  Your SATA drive does not have a Master Boot Record00:49
LumenaryWhat you need to do is install your new Ubuntu on the SATA drive by booting into the LiveCD environment first00:50
ichbinsnichtoops, i mean i inserted it in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf: ... not in resolv.conf00:50
deckardLumenary - thats what i just did00:50
deckardand im booted back into the Live CD now00:50
LumenaryThen run the "Install Ubuntu" application from the icon on the LiveCD desktop.00:50
deckardyep, that's what I did00:50
CannibalHow do I install the dependency Wicd-daemon00:51
LumenaryThen you need to boot into your OLD distro on the IDE drive and adjust GRUB or LILO and add entries that point to your new distro on the SATA drive00:51
deckarddo you know how I can make sure it's trying to boot off the right drive, since I have two SATA drives?00:51
deckardor is that even an issue?00:51
ichbinsnichtdo have to add # in front of the line?00:52
LumenaryWell, you have to point GRUB or LILO to the correct drive and partition containing the /boot filesystem (subdirectory) on your new ubuntu00:52
deckardok00:53
ichbinsnichtwho is the person who helped me first....are you still there?00:53
ichbinsnichtwhere.....00:53
LumenaryThis thread may help:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119527500:53
deckardso my end goal is to delete the old Ubuntu partition, so that might be a good temp solution but how can I get it so that grub will boot straight from the new installation?00:53
LumenaryIt is quite long and detailed, but likely contains the info you're looking fore00:53
LumenaryWell, here are a few tips:00:54
rannickichbinsnicht, i think that was me, but the other guy was pretty awesome, too00:54
LumenaryOne, make sure that when your new ubuntu is installed, the installer writes GRUB to the MBR of the hard disk, and NOT to the /boot partition00:55
ichbinsnichti think i figured it out....one more reboot.....brb00:55
LumenaryTwo, go into BIOS and check your settings, and make sure the SATA drive is higher than other hard disks in your boot order00:56
LumenaryThree, you will probably need to do some web searching to find out how to add your Windows installation to GRUB so it will remain bootable.00:56
LumenaryThe kicker is that when you add/remove physical devices, hard disk addresses and partition references can change,.00:57
Lumenaryso its best that you settle on a hardware configuration BEFORE installing ubuntu00:57
deckardokay, thanks for the tips. real quick: how can i make sure that grub is installed in the MBR?00:58
deckardwhen I installed ubuntu there was a dropdown for where to install grub00:58
LumenaryAs a rule of thumb, your boot hard disk should always be plugged into the LOWEST possible SATA port00:58
deckardand i just chose the partition i put / on00:58
LumenaryYes. That dropdown should contain an entry saying "MBR of Hard Disk" or "Master Boot Record" of "Hard Disk" or something like that.00:58
LumenaryAvoid any entries saying "partition"00:59
deckardah00:59
deckardso that might have been my mistak00:59
deckarde00:59
JoniiOh, this is weird00:59
LumenaryIn my BIOS, I always setup my boot settings like so:00:59
JoniiUbuntu plays sound on _both_ stereos and headset00:59
JoniiAt the same time01:00
LumenaryFirst Boot Device: USB Boot Device (in case I need to boot from a rescue USB key)01:00
LumenarySecond Boot Device: Optical (CD/DVD) Drive (so I can boot from the Ubuntu CD-ROM to install it)01:00
LumenaryThird Boot Device: Lowest port number hard drive (SATA or IDE, depending on age of computer)01:01
LumenaryDisable all other boot devices01:01
JoniiIs it a bug or a feature that you can't drag volume control bar on the upper right corner of default ubuntu installation?01:01
deckardyeah i have something similar. so i think i understand my problem is that I put grub on the partition instead of the MBR... but my concern is that this drive also has my Windows installation on another partition01:01
JoniiIf you try dragging it, volume goes quickly to the max01:01
deckardso if I put grub on that MBR, will it mess up windows?01:01
Lumenarydeckard:  Yes - Windows will not be bootable unless you add it to grub01:02
JoniiHey, wtf01:02
deckardbut it will still be bootable once I add it to grub01:02
JoniiWhy I can't change the volume for other device when two devices are playing the music?01:02
deckardin other words, windows doesn't need anything in the MBR in order to be able to be booted from grub?01:02
LumenaryConversely, you CAN install GRUB to the /boot partition, then go into the Windows boot.ini file (hidden at root of C:\ drive on XP) and add an entry that points to the /boot partition with GRUB01:03
deckardcause I'm not worried about modding grub to be able to boot Windnows. that's already working in the grub config of my old ubuntu installation so I should be able to just copy it from there01:03
deckardahh.. i think i might like to try that first01:03
JoniiWhat's going on? :/01:03
Lumenarydeckard:  Yes, in theory, that would work, if the GRUB versions are the same.01:04
LumenaryGRUB1 and GRUB2 (1.9x on up) are quite different01:04
deckardunfortunately they're not, but I think i should be able to translate it01:04
deckardcause it seems to be the same info, just in a different format01:04
LumenaryAnd are manipulated in very different ways01:04
deckardhmm ok01:04
deckardthanks again for all the advice01:04
JoniiHey, what's going on. Why does ubuntu play sound from two devices? How can I stop this from happening?01:05
tdisowhat?01:05
JoniiOr change the volumes of these devices?01:05
Lumenarydeckard:  Read up on GRUB2 (do a Google search on "GRUB2 Basics")01:06
Lumenarythen check out /etc/grub.d of your new Ubuntu installation01:06
JoniiI have speakers and headphones. I connect headphones, when speakers play music, and now both speakers _and_ headphones are playing music, and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop speakers from doing that. Also, is it a bug or a feature that you can't drag volume control thingie on the upper left corner?01:07
LumenaryJonii:  Open Synaptic and install "pavucontrol" (if it is available) and see if that helps01:08
JoniiWhat's pavucontrol?01:08
LumenaryThen check your Application Menu for "PulseAudio Volume Control"01:08
Lumenary(You may need to logout/login again for the Application Menu to pick up the change)01:09
LumenaryUbuntu uses PulseAudio to control access to audio devices.01:09
LumenaryMultiple sources (programs playing music, or microphone inputs) can be routed to multiple sinks (outputs like speakers and headphones)01:10

drexl_I use rc.local   iptables-restore < /etc/firewall.conf01:24

jrib!iptables | mnaines01:24
ubottumnaines: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.01:24
Nach0zjrib: Cuz i installed desktop edition at first to have the GUI when i was originally setting up my server, since i was unfamiliar with linux, and now i just want to get rid of all the extra desktop edition junk i don't need01:24
jribmnaines: the iptables wiki page explains how you can save and restore rules automatically when an interface goes up and down.  Also checkout iptables-persistant in the repositories01:25
xrdodrxgaelfx, that didn't fix it :<01:25
TalamondI've got a question, though I can't really test it at the moment... but does anyone have an idea why on my network I would be having issues with linux devices and not windows devices?01:25

magpiiei have firestarter installed and i have it to start on system bootup, but, it never does, how can i resolve this?01:25
jribNach0z: that's how you can remove the gnome stuff.  Only other change you probably want to make is to use the server kernel (install the appropriate linux-image-* meta package)01:26
xrdodrxgaelfx, alright...it's very frustrating as I just go to move windows automatically if you know what I mean lol01:26
jribmagpiie: why would you want firestarter to start on boot?01:26

DasEiKBentley57: yes, did you do an extra direcory for sambashare ?01:58
sacarlsonaristotle2600: well by pushing the <ctl><alt>+f2 you can go to console and sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo lshw | pastebinit  and copy the link to here and your blog01:59
manster_shcherbak, photorec actually looks promising wish i had thought about it. well i'll start copying tonight, should probably know if it worked by tomorrow01:59
manster_thnaks01:59
shcherbakmanster_: is it optical drive?02:00
manster_shcherbak, yes shows up in /dev/sr0 its a blu-ray drive02:00
arandmanster_: I don't know if photorec would work on optical media, tohugh..02:00
sacarlsonaristotle2600: the important part at this point is the video hardware so maybe you can paste that direct to here02:00
drexl_manster_: are regular dvds going outta style now?02:00
drexl_I just bought a dvd writer today.02:01
manster_drexl_, i wish i had steered clear of bluray02:01
manster_dvd is good02:01
shcherbakmanster_: hm, do not know to much here...02:01
CannibalEditing Samba conf. I'm asked for a Server name. what does that reffer to?02:02
teratornCannibal: the SMB name of your computer02:02
manster_well the process has begun, so it seems to be working on my optical drive, but it will be hours before i see the result02:02
Cannibalum, what?02:03
phoenixsamprasjrib thanks brio02:03
aristotle2600I dont have internet because I need to set up where there is no wired connection, but I dumped the output to a file.  One thing that jumped out is that lshw reports I have a dv6700 not dv600002:03
Cannibalnot my log in name, but what I named the computer origonally, is that it02:03
teratornCannibal: well, actually the SMB name (the thing you see in network neighborhood) is your computer's hostname02:04

Techie-MichealHi. I'm trying to find a way to set my default Python version. Google hasn't turned up much so far. I want to use Python2.7 instead of 2.6. I have run update-alternatives to set Python2.7 as the default, and edited /usr/share/python/debian_defaults to point to python2.7. However, if I try to install python-sqlite for example, it complains.02:05
coz_xrdodrx,  that is an old  unix application  it can run on linux but I forget the name02:05
xrdodrxcoz_, I want to try it :D02:05
teratornCannibal: what is the actual parameter you're talking about?02:06
teratornCannibal: "server string" ?02:06
coz_xrdodrx,   mmm  I would have to google it   you can try applications used in jurassic park02:06
sacarlsonaristotle2600: well I never seen a video card with that brand,  you need to know what chips it uses for video02:06
coz_xrdodrx,  it was used inthe movie  jurassic park02:06
drexl_xrdodrx: that is cool I want..02:06
DasEiCannibal: for your scenario hostname and workgroup are sufficcient02:06
CannibalIt says to add this:02:06
Cannibalnetbios name = name_of_your_server (no spaces)02:06
=== geek is now known as Guest51957
DasEiCannibal: hostname  in terminal shows it02:07
rwwxrdodrx: fsn, per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manager#3D_file_managers02:07
sacarlsonaristotle2600: it might be nvidia or ati or intel02:07
CannibalAh hah02:07
xrdodrxrww, you sure it's not fsv?02:07
CannibalAs I suspected, thx. I'll keep reading.02:07
xrdodrxhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FSV-OSX-screenshot.png02:07
teratornCannibal: that sets the SMB name that you see when you browser for computers on the network02:08
rwwxrdodrx: fsv is a clone of fsn.02:08
coz_xrdodrx,  fsv is one of them yes02:08
xrdodrxoh ok02:08
sacarlsonaristotle2600: if you now have a file maybe move it with a usb flash disk02:08
xrdodrxthanks, gonna see if I can make it work :)02:08
coz_xrdodrx,  there are i believe 2 others   I think it was fsv  used in jurassic park02:08
teratornCannibal: if you don't put it in the conf then it defaults to the first part of your DNS name... i.e. the name of your computer you set (type hostname to see it)02:08
coz_xrdodrx,  google   fsv  like applications02:09
aristotle2600it says nvidia on the sticker, sacarlson huh, didnt think that recovery mode would have usb support, not sure how to try it02:09
=== c is now known as Guest24252
CannibalOh, so that step isn't even that important?02:09
sacarlsonaristotle2600: you don't need recovery mode all you need is <ctl><alt>+f2 to get you out of xserver then all else should still work02:10
aristotle2600sacarlson: for display UNCLAIMED it says the desc is a VGA ctrler, C67 GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M02:11

rynosaurThat's probably it. thanks!02:14
DasEirynosaur: and give it executable permissin, too02:14
xtracthat would be leet02:14
coz_Techie-Micheal,  when you do  "update-alternatives --config python"  are there options given?02:14
Jordan_Urynosaur: That "file not found" is a poorly phrased error message from needed 32 bit libraries not being found.02:15
Guest51957hey, I'm getting the error in this pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/572889/ and I know that it works on my home network (visiting relatives) so I don't know what could be going on other than it might be a DHCP prob.02:15
smilidonHello02:15
xtracyou know ubuntu needs to start selling an os02:15
magpiiei dont think there is any law against packaging and selling ubuntu yourself02:15
Techie-Michealcoz_: There weren't at first. I did update-alternatives --install python /usr/bin/python2.7 1002:15
coz_xtrac,  that was tried with  impi02:15
magpiieobviously non profit02:15
aristotle2600sacarlson: it used to have vista and then win702:16
Techie-MichealAfter I did that, I was given options, and set it to the 2.7. I changed the symlink appropriately. When I apt-get install python-sqlite, it complains that the system default python2.7 is not being used, but the symlink is clearly pointing to the 2.7 binary.02:16
coz_Techie-Micheal,   mmm  I am not an expert in this but google with   "ubuntu set default python"  gave a few hits that may help02:16

magpiiemy network seems fine, i can browse ok02:19

M28What are the packages I need to install for the defaults fonts for ubuntu 10.04?02:20
pksadiqToo check the presence of proxy02:20
DasEimagpiie: call up synaptic, it's under the paketmangement there, choose server > other > fastest mirror02:20
c_you can open a terminal, type ` cat /etc/apt/source.list ' to know which repo servers you are using, and try to ping the host to see if your host can connect to the repo server.02:20
aristotle2600sacarlson: thanks, that might be the very bug im experiencing.  is there any way to fix it from the command line?02:20
Guest51957my network other than the update part seems to be fine, I can surf the web without updating, and I can ping the server just fine.02:21
rynosaurDasEi: Sorry. When I try to call the program is says the file is not found. One of you said that a reason for that could be it was 32 bit, I figured it was. But after I check the site, it says it is actually for 64bit.02:21
JeffCBRHow can I stop the network manager service from starting? I have already done update-rc.d -f network-manager remove, but that did not work.02:21

geek0292not here, but I can at my house.03:06
pw-toxic_[TK]D-Fender, the drive is not dead.. both drives are working.. i changed the operating system and now i only have a degraded raid although both drives are ok03:06
sacarlsonaristotle2600: you might have found it by now but you might try this http://ubuntuguide.net/install-nvidia-graphical-driver-in-ubuntu-lucid-10-0403:07
[TK]D-Fenderpw-toxic_: One of them has been knocked out of the array for a failure of some kind03:07
c_geek0292: you mean now you use a different network connection than that you at home?03:07
pw-toxic_so what shall i do now?03:08
[TK]D-Fenderpw-toxic_: So go rebuilld it in-place if you can and if it fails... well time to replace the drive03:08
pw-toxic_how do i do this?03:08
geek0292currently as I'm with relatives.03:08
Techie-Michealpw-toxic_: a) how do you know both drives are okay? have you done an fschk? The change in OS'es may have uncovered issues and b) have you checked to see what errors you are getting? I'm not a raid expert, but usually a degraded array points to a problem of some sort, usually with the hd, but can be other hardware issues.03:08
Techie-Micheals/fschk/fsck03:09
[TK]D-Fenderpw-toxic_: Disk Utility.  Go look at it03:09
pw-toxic_[TK]D-Fender, disk utility says that the state is degraded but it doesnt tell me which drive actually is connected to the drive03:09
pw-toxic_[TK]D-Fender, i did a mdadm --assemble --scan and it didnt work... he didnt find any raid drives although disk utlility found it03:10
pw-toxic_[TK]D-Fender, then i asked my brother to help me and he finally got one part of the drive get working so i can backup my important data03:10
geek0292so, what can I do about this? I'd be okay with just editing my resolv.conf file if I knew  how and to what03:10
geek0292because it's worked here in the past.03:11
c_geek0292: I had the similiar experiences before, it's mainly due to the ISP or the network connection. You would like me to tell you how to edit the resolv.conf ?03:11
geek0292yeah, and what a good IP for the file03:12
geek0292if possible.03:12
hakryours?03:12
c_geek0292: Google Public DNS, Configure your network settings to use the IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as your DNS servers03:13
AndroidKrishow do I gain control of "file system"03:13
geek0292btw, I use the same ISP at home, so I bet this could be their router.03:13
zero80472anyone know a good windows emulator for ubuntu (not wine)03:13
AndroidKrisevery time I try to change something, it says I don't have permission and I'm not the owner...wtf03:13

xanguazero80472: any virtual machine03:14
c_geek0292: yeah, maybe.03:14
zero80472also is there a way to remove the password ?03:14
onelinerzero80472: for starters wine aint a windows emulator, second, you can get a virtual machine to run windows in ubuntu, simply install virtualbox from the software center03:14
zero80472i hate typeing it in(its on my laptop ) dont need a password)03:14

xrdodrxI'm trying to add a network printer that's with Samba and when I press the little triangle next to workgroup it freezes03:14
aristotle2600sacarlson: i'll try thast next, but now I'm trying to figure out how to change the resolution from the recovery boot.   If I know exactly what to type I can boot into ubuntu and go to a virtual console03:14
onelinerzero80472: if you need it that bad, then dual boot03:15
AndroidKrisI'll get right on that sacarlson03:15
AndroidKrislol03:15
sacarlsonaristotle2600: well if it was networked I would tell you to ssh in and change it from something that you could read03:16
zero80472is there a way to remove the password (for installing apps) /03:16
zero80472?03:16
nertilno03:17
lazyPowerSo, i setup a vhost in apache2, and oddly its not being recognized. Nothings even hitting my logs when i attempt to access it. Do i *have* to add a dns record for the subdomain? or is having the canonical mysite.com as the dns record sufficient?03:17
sacarlsonzero80472: you can add nopassword to sudo03:18
geek0292and the google thing turns me back to the original problem of updating where I can't resolve.03:18
aristotle2600sacarlson: that also depends on an ssh server being installed by default; unless i can install it from the recovery boot.  so is there a way to change the resolution from the command prompt?  apparently ubuntu doesn't have an xorg.conf03:18
zero80472?03:18
zero80472can someone plz tell me03:18
leapy0yohi03:18
leapy0yohow do i copy all subdirectory files to one parent directory?03:19
sacarlsonaristotle2600: well xorg.conf is only used for xserver the console won't change even if you modify that03:19
lazyPowerleapy0yo: cp -R * ../03:19
geek0292*sigh* guess I'll just wait to get home.... but it's gonna be frustrating with mail.....03:19
EmuAlertIs there any key combo to get to the system menu, like Applications, Places and System (and anything else you add) without using the mouse?03:19
lazyPowerleapy0yo: that works if the parent directory is the directory prior to the one you are presently in03:20
lazyPowerleapy0yo: the format is cp -R (recursive) (copy FROM) (copy TO)03:20
c_geek0292: have you used the nslookup command to verify the hostname lookup?03:20
aristotle2600sacarlson: is there some other config file?  surely, the information in the gui panel is recorded somewhere?03:20

pw-toxic_sudo su03:21
pw-toxic_oh damn wrong keyboard :D03:21
c_the error msg is mainly due to dns error, and sometimes it's hard to resolve this problem. I often refresh serveal times to get all the package list successfully downloaded.03:21
leapy0yolazy, they are two subdirectories ...i have lots of directories like that and i want them to the main parent directory03:22
zero80472can someone plz tell me?03:22
zero80472 oops03:22
AbhijiT:-o03:22
zero80472sacarlson, do  you use a router ?03:22
sacarlsonaristotle2600: if you have a monitor you might think about pluging it in and view your laptop from there,  your problem is the display not the video card03:22
AbhijiTzero80472, do you really need a help?03:22
zero80472sacarlson, have  you tryed adding the DNS settings there ?03:22
leapy0yolazypower, they are two subdirectories ...i have lots of directories like that and i want them to the main parent directory03:22
geek0292of course, dunno how to make sense of it, but the server IP matches the resolv.conf file I had up.03:23
zero80472AbhijiT, i just want to know how to remove password form linux so i dont have to keep typing on a doggy keybord03:23
AbhijiTzero80472, and as i guess you did not see my links above i posted for you? right?03:23
AbhijiTgood i am not going to post it again03:23
AbhijiTyou scroll up03:23
zero80472cant see much with x-chat can u PM me them please03:24
AbhijiTno03:24
sacarlsonzero80472: yes I use a router and yes I have03:24
c_geek0292: you mean nslookup reports that the repo servers' ip is 192.168.x.x ?03:25
sacarlsonzero80472:  but most the time I disable dhcp from my router and run it from my server box the distibutes ip's03:25
geek0292yes03:25
MariaKeyshello folks. 10M files. How to go about these in an mechanical drive? Zipping for example. What do you suggest? Ext4.03:25

JoniiI have speakers and headphones. I connect headphones, when speakers play music, and now both speakers _and_ headphones are playing music, and there doesn't seem to be any way to stop speakers from doing that. Also, is it a bug or a feature that you can't drag volume control thingie on the upper left corner?03:25

MariaKeysAbhijit: Do you know the story of 3 monkeys?03:28
sacarlsonMariaKeys: don't you still keep your atm card without your pin number writen on it in your hut?03:28
AbhijiTMariaKeys, one of them is you thats what i know03:29
pw-toxic_backup03:29
MariaKeysAbhijit: Let me tell you the story of 3 monkeys...03:29
aristotle2600sacarlson: damn; that was a really good idea, but i just tried it and the monitor is getting no signal03:29
MariaKeysThey put 3 monkeys in a cage... And put a banana on top.03:29
AbhijiTMariaKeys, no this is not offtopic channel. offtopic discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic03:29
sacarlsonaristotle2600: you have to reboot most laptops to get the monitor to be seen03:29
MariaKeysEvery time one of the monkeys try to get the banana, the owner of the house beats him. All monkeys try in turn, they get beaten.03:30
tanathanyone know how to get gstreamer-based players to play tracks other than the first one for nsf files?03:30
AbhijiTaaaah03:30
geek0292c_ the server address I get for http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/ is 192.168.x.x is this normal?03:30
MariaKeysAfter a while, monkeys learn the trick, and they no longer reach to the banana.03:30
AbhijiTMariaKeys, in #ubuntu-offtopic  and not here03:30
MariaKeysAbhijiT: It is not off  topic. It is related to security that you were discussing.03:30
aristotle2600sacarlson: ah, well then i will try that.  will be several minutes; this laptop model has documented colling issues, so it needs to rest when you reboot it03:30
AbhijiTMariaKeys, this is not security channel either!03:30
gaelfxanyone know of a decent wireless n router with a usb port?03:30
teratornFINISH THE STORY03:31
sacarlsonaristotle2600: also there may be a function something botton to activate the monitor on some systems03:31
AbhijiTteratorn, lol :-D03:31
MariaKeysSo one day... They bring in a new monkey to the cage...03:31
chris_osxand he beats the other monkeys?03:31

pw-toxic_how do i find out what drive of my two 500GB drives of my raid1 is currently used for the degraded state and which hard drive isnt used?03:32
shcherbakpw-toxic_: iotop?03:33
fixhelloooooozzz03:33
jon__hello?03:33
pw-toxic_shcherbak, what do you mean?03:33
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: I havn't tried it but did you look in System>administration>disk utility ?03:33
leapy0yohow do i use find to cp everything it finds to a new location?03:33
pw-toxic_sacarlson, yes i have tried it.. i cant find the information there03:33
MariaKeysMoral of the story is that: There are always hordes of anal-retentives who would tell you not to do a root login... Yet, I am doing it for 15 years and thanks god I don't have carpal tunnel every from trying to enter root password. Big freaking deal, I fscked the system once... And reloaded it from backup in 10 mins.... So, as you can see... The monkey story. Because some other monkey already hit on your head when you go for banana, so you are afraid.03:34
kasunhi, can someone suggest me a better way to search the content of a set of pdf files? Grep doesn't return all the results. can't use pdftotext for a set of files!03:34
Jordan_Ukasun: Why can't you use pdftotext?03:35
pw-toxic_sacarlson, i looked closer and this is getting really weird.. if i clic on "edit components"  i can see two drives that should be connected to the raid, but it doesnt tell me which one doesnt work... looks like he thinks it is working normally, while the state says its degraded03:35
shcherbakpw-toxic_: iotop will show i/o activity, just not sure is it going to help you, well I guess it might..03:35
aeon-ltdMariaKeys: if this were a shadier channek, everyone would be checking if you have a firewall or ssh then trying to brute force and/or send scripts03:35

geek0292c_ have you got my messages?03:35
MariaKeysaeon-ltd: gimme a second, i will be back for you to check.03:35
shcherbakpw-toxic_: otherwise, test it from live system (speed of write and read)03:36
kasunJordan_U, pdftotext is to search for one file at a time, right? I need to search a *set* of files. I'm working on a script but it gives some errors.03:36
ardchoilleaeon-ltd: brute force what? You can't brute force a locked root account and we don't know which usernames exist on his system :) I love Ubuntu!03:36
MariaKeysaeon: did you check it for bruteforcing?03:36
kasunJordan_U, It'll be easier if there's a easier way for it.03:36
Jordan_Ukasun: I would just use find and pdftotext/03:36
fixOk I have a fully operational PXE boot server, the client boots up and begins the setup process however, fails to detect the hard disk, I have tried with ubuntu 8.10, 9.10 and 10.10 and none of them will see my hard disk, I boot to the cd and it sees the hard disks with no problem, so apparently the pxe boot server isnt serving up the neccesary drivers or something to detect my hard disks properly.03:37
c_geek0292: sorry, i left for a few minutes.03:37
shcherbakMariaKeys: Do you use Ubuntu for 15 years?03:37
aeon-ltdMariaKeys: heh i don't have the time and knowledge for that, plus i don't see it as fun if it takes longer than 5 minutes03:37
AbhijiTshcherbak, good question!03:37
MariaKeysscherbak: I never used ubuntu. We use Slack/RHEL.03:37
geek0292ok, well, is the server address for the repo "192.168.x.x" the actual server?03:37
fixrhel-ewww03:38
Jordan_Uleapy0yo: -exec cp -- {} /some/directory/ \;03:38
geek0292because it perfectly matches the router here.03:38
AbhijiTMariaKeys, if that is so why you lock your home when going out side, why you keep your money in bank, why you keep valuables in bank locker? why you lock car's door? you should to stop dooing all these things?03:38
shcherbakMariaKeys: Then ok, if you want root shell in Ubuntu/Dedian you need to reconfigure 80% of system and eventually use normal kernel, besides it ok.03:39
MariaKeysaeon-ltd: I wouldn't give a heck if you have the knowledge or not. If you can get my IP, you can try to check something to start with. Besides, everyone has firewalls and it takes 10 mins for a backup clone. Moral of the story was the monkey thing.03:39
c_geek0292: the address 192.168.x.x is lan address, it sould never be assigned to hosts on internet.03:39
aeon-ltdMariaKeys: wasn't here for story time....03:39
geek0292hmmmm, well looks like that's the problem with the update manager, huh?03:39
MariaKeysAnyways, back to my issue. Anyone has experience with ext4 and 10 million files on a mechanical drive?03:40
Fudgehi how can i make gdm execute this, export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge03:40
shcherbakMariaKeys: anyway, can I follow you on tweeter?03:40

aeon-ltdMariaKeys: the problem being?03:40
geek0292hmmm, so how should I go about fixing this?03:40
MariaKeysshcherbak: Which twitter?03:40
c_the router ip address is 192.168.2.1 ?03:40

shcherbakMariaKeys: nvm (you just talkative), what files?03:41
geek0292and that's the exact same IP i got for the repo,03:41
MariaKeysscherbak: It doesnt matter what files. Have you tried dealing with 10M files on a mechanical drive?03:41
geek0292AND google03:41
pw-toxic_sacarlson, yes i can check but how do you know which drive of the raid isnt working? for me it looks like my raid1 is out of sync with the data /proc/mdstat tells me03:41
c_You need a network cable to login in the router (if appliable) to see the status of the internet connection.03:42
fixWHOOHOOOO running Pyrit with 14 cpu cores across the internetz03:42

MariaKeysfix: to do what? To get a WPA pass that will take 20 years?03:42
c_You should check the dns settings on router03:42

pw-toxic_sacarlson, ahh.. lol im blind03:50
pw-toxic_sacarlson, it says idle for both my raid5 and my degraded raid103:50
Nisstyreaeon-ltd, don't bother03:50
aristotle2600sacarlson: changing the res?  yeah you did, but i was lacking in a way to actually do it, since i couldnt see the screen.  attaching the monitor showed me the screen03:50

Nisstyreaeon-ltd, he/she isn't open to other points of view03:51
MariaKeysaeon-ltd: You have no idea what you are talking about. None of you has. None of you every broke a WPA key. The only one broken was probably yours consisting 8 digits.03:51
AbhijiTMariaKeys, can you read me? may i pm you?03:51
AmaranthMariaKeys: WPA2 was broken with rainbow tables and GPGPU. If you don't have a common ESSID that method doesn't work and you're fine.03:51
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: mine is still in repair mode so I can't do anything else but you should be able to stop and restart it then03:51
bazhangMariaKeys, was there a support issue you had?03:51
MariaKeysaeon-ltd: Rainbow tables, hashes, we tried it all. Big freaking waste of time WPA.03:51
NisstyreAmaranth, what does the essid have to do with it?03:51
AmaranthMariaKeys: If you'd like to join #ubuntu-offtopic we can discuss it at length03:51

pw-toxic_sacarlson, as you might guess, my raid1 has very important data ;)03:52
aeon-ltdMariaKeys: forget it, this is going nowhere03:52

aeon-ltditaylor57: search gnomelook03:54
pw-toxic_sacarlson, let me please tell you my backup system and then give me a comment what you think about it03:54
itaylor57aeon-ltd: tongue in cheek request03:54
pw-toxic_sacarlson, i have a 500GB raid1 drive where i hold all my important data. This data gets backed up automatically by backintime to my raid5 drive every hour03:54
pw-toxic_additionally i hold manual backups for my very important data by creating rar files which are saved on an usb drive03:55
=== jeremy_ is now known as Guest41600
pw-toxic_sacarlson, the manual backups are done every 6-12 months i guess03:55
pw-toxic_sacarlson, what do you think about this?03:55
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: sounds overkill so just fix this then03:55
tanathno audiophiles here?03:55
pw-toxic_sacarlson, so at the moment im saving my "not so important" data like "tools" "installers" and some other not so important old backups which are not backed up automatically03:56
pw-toxic_because i want to keep them if possible03:56
aeon-ltdtanath: was for a few months before i decided lossless wasn't worth it03:56
pw-toxic_sacarlson, if i loose them i can live with it, but i wouldnt be happy03:56
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: ok mine has completed fix and now is in idle mode03:56
tanathaeon-ltd, lol, not quite what i meant. i'm wondering why gstreamer-based players will only play the first track in nsf files and if there's a way to play other tracks03:57
aeon-ltdheh i should change my nick to 'outofcontext'03:57
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: and my status is running, so if yours is not running you should be able to start it03:57
pw-toxic_sacarlson, there is a stop button03:58
tanathaeon-ltd, do that a lot? :P03:58
Jordan_Utanath: Check for existing bug reports about it and if you find none file one yourself.03:58
pw-toxic_sacarlson, but let me tell you more because you are listening to much to me ;)03:58
tanathJordan_U, would you know which would be the relevant package?03:58
aeon-ltdtanath: yeah, scrolling back is annoying ...03:58
pw-toxic_sacarlson, my old fileservers drive crashed so i reinstalled ubuntu... then i did a mdadm --assemble --scan but nothing was found03:58
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: are you in the multidisk device section of disk utility?03:58
pw-toxic_sacarlson, so i opened disk utility and it said, that there actually is a raid1 but he couldnt start it... so i told my brother to help me, so he did some magic things so i somehow could access the files of my raid1 to back it up03:59
pw-toxic_sacarlson, what raid1 do you have? what drives?03:59
Jordan_Utanath: No. I would probably file a bug report against a specific player and let them decide where the bug lies.03:59
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: I will not repeat so if you don't follow I will not continue04:00
pw-toxic_sacarlson, ? what didnt i do?04:00
Jordan_Utanath: Do you know where I could get such a file to reproduce the bug myself?04:00
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: I have many raid simulations setup for testing04:00
tanathJordan_U, mm, i think i've found some relevant bugs. reported some time ago. :(04:00
tanathJordan_U, http://www.zophar.net/music/nsf.html04:01
pw-toxic_sacarlson, as i said - i cant stop my raid right now because it is busy because im currently copying some files which should end in an hour i guess.. then i will stop the raid and restart it04:01

sacarlsonpw-toxic_: aparantly this is not a function that can be done in paralel so try research and try disk utility when you have the opertunity04:02
Jordan_Utanath: Ahh, you really were talking about NES Sound Format. When you mentioned Audiophiles I was expecting some odd proprietary lossless multi track format.04:03
tanathJordan_U, lol. well it is lossless...04:03
[TK]D-Fenderamit: try asking in #rhel04:03
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: or do as I have and experiment one simulations to learn how things work in different cases04:03

AndroidKrishow do I kill or force close something that's not behaving?04:04
aeon-ltdAndroidKris: pkill04:04
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: virtualbox system simulations,  install a working ubuntu in vb in any raid type you want and play with disk utility to see what it can do04:04
amit[tk]D-Fender: but m using host as ubuntu and this output is on virtual box04:04
AndroidKrispkill?04:04
AndroidKris<<noob04:04
aeon-ltdAndroidKris: or 'killall nameofapp'04:05
aeon-ltdAndroidKris: in terminal04:05
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: with that you can setup a 10 disk simulation if you want04:05
AndroidKrisokay, lets say, out of terminal04:05
aeon-ltdAndroidKris: system monitor?04:05
amit[TK]D-Fender: host is of 64 bit and want to install 64 bit on virtual box04:05
AndroidKrisalright, thanks04:05

steve683Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone might have any thoughts on something I'm trying to accomplish. I have an old internal soundcard inside my computer (broken, I no longer use it) and I do not want ubuntu to recognize the device anymore, I think this is called unmounting or something? Is anyone able to help me out with this?04:06

tanathJordan_U, k. well, i'm not going to switch to another player whenever i want to play nsf.. i typically listen to my library on random anyway and i want nsf to be able to come up too04:24
rshhhkingfarvito1: kingfarvito1: if you are trying to execute from the archive manager directly, it should show that message. it's by design. If you are doing it on GUI, you should first decompress or unarchive it04:25

Jordan_Utanath: If I understand correctly NSF tracks are simply catenated together, so it may be possible to split a single NSF file into multiple files, one for each track.04:33
tanathJordan_U, well there's also NSFE which is different (see late comment on bug report)04:33
tanathJordan_U, er, you're talking about converting though... better to have it just play as is04:34
keithclarkKBentley57, sorry, nothing useful found there.04:34
tanathJordan_U, nsf has many benefits. perfect (lossless), and incredibly small files04:35
tanathJordan_U, better to treat each track as a separate file for most purposes04:35
Jordan_Utanath: And I meant that if there is no metadata at the beginning of the file you may be able to split the files up and have each act like a single track NSF file.04:36

Ziberand the fact that it works means stdin, stdout work?04:51
dajhornZiber: Are you doing anything unusual?  Like running in a chroot or remounting /dev?04:52
Ziber...no :o04:52
Jordan_UAndroidKris: You probably need compiz-fusion-plugins-extra.04:53
dajhornZiber: Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog for errors.04:53
wedwo-keithclark, then sorry, but I'm out of ideas. Were I in your shoes I'd forget abt the upgrade and just install 10.10 from CD04:53
Ziberdajhorn: how?04:53
keithclarkwedwo-, nah, move on.....no time for broken distros!04:53
=== jeremy is now known as Guest81184
Ziberits thinking about tail /var/log/syslog04:53
dajhornZiber:  Yes, you can do it that way.   Also `less /var/log/messages`.04:54
Zibercant ctrl+c out of it, oddly enough04:54
wedwo-keithclark, nothing wrong with Lucid04:54
NictraSaviosHey Guys :D04:54
t-raskJust recently I am unable to mount my 8GB SanDisk MP3 in Ubuntu 10.10 (GNOME). The device pops up on the sidebar in Nautilus, but when I try to mount it nothing happens, then when I try to Eject/Safely Remove Drive it says "The Daemon is Inhibited"04:54
keithclarkwedwo-, apparently yes04:54
dajhornZiber: The controlling pty and/or console is probably hosed.  You'll need to open a new terminal window.04:54
NictraSaviosI'm new here, not new to IRC or Ubuntu though.04:54
NictraSaviosI love helping people, slightly addicted to it :P04:54
NictraSaviosSo is their a special channel for support that i could help out at?04:54
Ziberim SSHing. opened a new one04:55
wedwo-keithclark, that was tongue in cheek04:55
Jordan_UNictraSavios: This is the support channel. Offtopic conversation is in #ubuntu-offtopic.04:55

Binary_Wolfi need to try it again05:26
Nick_OsborneEvenin' all.05:26
Binary_Wolfbut i doubt it will sync you idevice05:26
Nick_OsborneSo, I have a question.05:27
Binary_Wolfgood evening Nick_Osborne05:27
gaelfxmarkoso: I would suggest that if you want things to work the way you expect them to, give the itunes for windows a try using wine05:27
markosoafter many years you think linux would be ready for people not just geeks05:27
Nick_OsborneI'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on an older laptop, and it's not doing anything.05:27
markosoif  exaile  i might try wine05:27
CamarataNick_Osborne: you boot the the CD and do you get to the screen for Try vs Install?05:27
Binary_Wolfum it is not linux fault there is no itunes version for it05:28
markosodo i just dl itunes from the site and wine will see it or is it some long drawn out process05:28
Nick_OsborneI didn't get any screen.05:28
markosoi dont care for itunes i just want shit to work05:28
Nick_OsborneIt went straight into loading... then nothing.05:28
Camaratamarkoso: drivers and proprietary software not existing is not a "problem with Linux" it's the lack of market share and other company interests to be had in Mac or Windows05:28
markosough05:29
gaelfxmarkoso: understandable markoso, but as with changing anything, there's a bit of a learning curve involved05:29
CamarataNick_Osborne: if you didn't even get a screen/GUI to install I would suggest trying to burn another disc..maybe at a lower speed05:29
Camaratamarkoso: i had one issue with drivers since i used DisplayLink adapters, other than that Empathy, XChat, etc all worked out of the box... apt-get install via Software Center repos is actually easier and faster for installing software05:30

markosocan i get itunes with play on linux?05:32
CamarataNick_Osborne, if there are no known issues with your cd drive i would suggest another disk, you could unplug power and hold the power button for 10 seconds to reset pram or what not and try it again05:32
Binary_Wolfi think it is faster to install apps via apt-get rather than via software center (it is kinda laggy )05:33
Camaratathat fixes some hardware bugs sometimes, but otherwise i would assume bad disk?05:33
Nick_OsborneI've never had any problems with the drive before, and it's a brand new disk.05:33
Camaratamarkoso: i have done iTunes (Windows ver) via WINE before, but Binary_Wolf suggests it may be buggy?05:33

Psycho_Dadferreirathiago_: I don't know what a hardlock is. It's a USB wireless adapter, TP-LINK WN322G (v2). It's supposed to be supported. And it works, but dies shortly after I download, upload, etc.06:09

pksadiqmsl: may I private message you? I don't need to flood here06:23
Psycho_Dadraido: Hmm, under debian I've checked in synaptic that I have zd1211rw-firmware package. In the Ubuntu package search webpage (as I'm under Debian currently) I couldn't find this package.06:23
raidoIt might be wotht a try to grab that debian .deb and install it in ubuntu.06:24
Psycho_Dadraido: Yeah I think so. :) I hope it'll turn out right.06:24
raidoPsycho_Dad: good luck and you may need to blacklist whatever driver Ubuntu currently loads, or uninstall it.06:25
Psycho_Dadraido: It loads this driver (zd1211rw), I'm sure about this. I just don't know if it installs this firmware.06:26
Psycho_DadThe Debian installer doesn't contain this firmware, I had to load it from a USB during install, but the Ubuntu installer didn't ask for it. It is a non-free firmware.06:26

Diamondcitepancom: consider installing the -dev packages from Ubuntu Repositories07:15
YankDownUnderpancom, Have you installed: build-essential07:15
Mission_Controlwhat's build-essential?07:15
YankDownUnderIf you're trying to build something from source, and you don't have "build-essential" - regardless of whether you've got the right files in the right places, you're not going to get very far - the headers and libs and other programs necessary for building are not there.07:16
YankDownUnder!build-essential07:16
ubottuCompiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)07:16
pancomyeah, it says it is already the newest version07:17
YankDownUnderpancom, Well, then you might consider looking (Google is your friend) for a pre-build package, or looking for information posted by someone else that's already tried to do exactly what you're doing (with Hydra)07:18
Mission_ControlI'm going to quit and re-enter as Massachusetts07:18
YankDownUnderBad state that.07:19
morganis there a linux equivelant to chkdsk for an ntfs usb hdd07:19

juragan_kopi#malang07:20
YankDownUnderbrobinson, Have you checked that the module for it is loaded at all?07:21
morganwell i primarily use linux and one way or another i need to correct an issue with an external usb. just figured someone here may have encountered this before and had some handy help07:21
Tech_Supportwhat is it with you people and using the latest yet UNSTABLE versions of things?07:21
YankDownUndermorgan, I have - and my resolution was to use MS in a VM to correct the issue - else, use like a Hiren's Boot CD to fix the issue.07:22
brobinsonYankDownUnder, I have never had to check for a module in the past.  It worked well before today.07:22
morganany particular steps once u used win, i can plug into an ms machine but don't seem to get any joy07:23
bisu[Shield]**----------------- I get an error gl-easy-install command not found, what am I missing?07:23
YankDownUnderbrobinson, Every device that is a periph generally will have a module - especially USB - so you might want to find out what module is or is not loaded when you plug the device in.07:23
pksadiq!find gl-easy07:23
ubottuPackage/file gl-easy does not exist in maverick07:24
YankDownUndermorgan, I'd honestly try something like a Hiren's Boot CD - when I have issues like that - when even it's not being detected or having issues on an MS machine, I resort to that as a tool.07:24
morganthanks yankdownunder, never heard of it but I'll look it up, cheers07:24
YankDownUndermorgan, It's an unbelievably wonderful tool to have and have around...07:24

Dr_Willisdaniel_:  what music player are you trung to use?07:26
=== folklore2 is now known as folklore
YankDownUnderdaniel_, Does the cd show up on your desktop?07:27
DasEidw-: install videowdowloadhelper-plugin in ff, call video, there you go07:27
YankDownUndertrung = trying ? :)07:27
daniel_no not on my desktop, but when i click on the computer icon it is there07:27
dw-DasEi: darr thx07:27
* Dr_Willis loves playing 20 questions to get to the real question..07:27
sjacobsHey there guys - STILL haven't managed to get Ubuntu to have sound. I have an ASUS N53jq - Please help07:27
Dr_Willisdaniel_:  and what Music program are you using to play the muzak?07:27
sjacobsRunning 10.1007:27
guangwhat is this07:27
brobinsonYankDownUnder, is there no simple way to restart sound recognition?07:28
Dr_Willisguang:  what is what?07:28
YankDownUnderbrobinson, Is it sound recognition you desire, or that your USB based headset works? They're two different things mate.07:28
DasEiguang; this channel ?07:28
daniel_none07:28
DasEi!support | guang07:29
ubottuguang: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com07:29
brobinsonYankDownUnder, I just want "Sound Preferences" -> Hardware to recognize my usb headset (like it did yesterday).07:29
dw-DasEi: actually i have a VideoHelper but veoh is missing :/07:29
YankDownUnderbrobinson, Reboot, try again.07:29
mslsjacobs, If you open a terminal and type 'alsamixer', are Master and PCM both turned up?07:29
Dr_Willisdw- not all sites work with all tools. some sites may not work witn any of the tools.07:30
sjacobsmsl, Ill give it a go07:30
dw-DasEi: nm it works.. sure this is the full? :/07:30
DasEidw-: this plugin with the little animated balls  which try to move if you open any flash-site ?07:30
dw-DasEi: yea i refreshed getting an .flv lol07:30
sjacobsmsl, to the maximum07:30
brobinsonYankDownUnder, rebooting does not work, for some reason my usb headset has become undetectable, i guess restarting alsa or pulse audio will not work?07:31
ShapeShifter499I need help creating a script that will auto login my google documents and mount them via another script..  the thing is it asks for a password.. can I have the script pass on the password when asked and how?07:31
DasEidw-: right, as of tiled files there are sites on the web, not ubuntu related though, which do such jobs, or need a loop and wget once serverdir is known07:31
mslsjacobs, And there are no 'M' in the boxes at the bottom of the bars for master and PCM?07:31
sjacobsmsl, Im using a Realtek alc52907:32
sjacobsmsl, no07:32
dw-DasEi: yar.. always a way07:32
YankDownUnderbrobinson, The USB headset is a separate module => ergo, you're going to have to find out what module it was that loaded originally, and then either try to force the module to load in your modules.conf, or manually load it.07:32
sjacobsmsl, I am dual booting, and windows 7 has sound fine07:32
mslAnd your speakers are plugged in?  :)07:32
sjacobsITs a laptop07:32
sjacobsBut i know you have to ask07:32
sjacobs:)07:32
sjacobsIm in internet support07:33
YankDownUndersjacobs, Have you tried to Google and find out what sound driver is being used under linux for that sound card/hardware yet?07:33
sjacobsmsl, this is the only thing ruining ubuntu for me, no sound07:33
dw-DasEi: actually it worked, not a partial file. very nice.. ;)07:33
fidyducehello all07:33
dw-DasEi: 25MB for 1.5hrs07:33
sjacobsYankdownunder, its an asus n53jq - it is using the alc259 chip07:34
mslsjacobs, Any sound related errors in your dmesg output?07:34
sjacobscard : hda intel07:34
daniel_can someone help my fix my cd rom?07:34
YankDownUndersjacobs, I'm not going to Google for ya mate.07:34
sjacobsmsl - how do i get that - dmesg in terminal?07:34
fidyducecan i move the current ubuntu install on my laptop to a pendrive... keeping all drivers and profiles?07:35
Dr_Willisdaniel_:  and what Music program are you using to play the muzak? I never saw an answer.   load up some music program, try drag/dropping the cd onto it.. or try telling it to play a cd...07:35
mslya.  It will be a large output.  You can send to a file or use more.07:35
sjacobsyankdownunder - what would you like me to find07:35
DasEidaniel_: can try, open a terminal..07:35
YankDownUndersjacobs, Have you even tried to Google this issue?07:35
Dr_Willisfidyduce:  i think its possible. but  may take some work. (like most things in linux)07:35
Dr_Willisdaniel_:  chat in the channel...  and give details as to what you are douing and trying...07:36
YankDownUndersjacobs, Cuz for some strange reason, I've found that you're not the only one, and that there are resolutions to the issue.07:36
DasEidaniel_: sudo apt-get install hwinfo pastebinit07:36
fidyduceDr_Willis: lol i am game07:36
Dr_Willisfidyduce:  thers some tools out there to let you 'remaster' your system onto a 'live cd' type setup. Or you could just start using 'dd'  and try cloning the HD to the other drive.  be carefull with dd.. one typo can erase the system :)07:37
DasEidaniel_: sudo hwinfo | grep cdrom07:37
DasEidaniel_: is the drive listed at all ?07:37
daniel_DasEi:i see the cd rom in computer07:37
DasEidaniel_: so yes07:38
sjacobsyankdownunder, what solution can you find?07:38
DasEidaniel_: pastebinit /etc/fstab07:38
fidyduceDr_Willis: ok if there is a forum i could read and study up before my new thumbdrive gets here that would be awesome. really it is not a big deal i will just use the new netbook edition if all else fails...07:38
mslfidyduce, It will take some work to get the bootloader fixed if you copy everything over.07:38
matt__Diamond as soon as I pulled the AC it went down again07:39
mslMight be easier to just install to the USB and move over your files...07:39
daniel_<DasEi>:it says that the program is not installed07:39
Dr_Willisfidyduce:  it depends on exactly what you want to do really. theres some remaster guides. or just check out the '!clone' factoid.07:39
DasEidaniel_: which prog ?07:39
Dr_Willis!clone | fidyduce07:39
ubottufidyduce: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate07:39
YankDownUndersjacobs, In your GOOGLE search box: realtek+alc259+ubuntu => I'm not going to Google for folks...you're more than capable.07:39

korsakovHi! It looks like my attempt to repair grub2 after windows installation corrupted ext4 neighbour partition. I run gparted which reports me unallocated 93Gb instead of my good old /dev/sda8 with photos and stuff.  I also know that it lays befween 291930112 and 488397167 sectors on my hdd. Can I somehow try to repair it and have my pics back? With fsck.ext4 -b for example?07:46

YankDownUndersjacobs, Install the "backports" for your kernel, check to make sure the module is NOT blacklisted in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (and others) => after a reboot, find out if the "hda-intel" module is loading via "lsmod | grep intel" => if the module is loaded, check the volume levels (so you're not muted)07:48

daniel_i have tried diffrent cd's but none of them work07:50
sjacobsyankdownunder - Dumb that right down for me07:50
Dr_Willisdaniel_:  you mean differnt 'audio/music cd' ? or have you tried some actual DATA cd's also?07:50
YankDownUndersjacobs, I can't, really, mate. That's about as dumbed down as you're going to get...07:50
DasEidaniel_: which cmd caused an error ?07:50
daniel_hold on let me try data cd07:50
kickedfishhey guys, don't mean to be a douche, just on andirc and not sure if I'm sending messages.  you guys see me?07:50
DasEidaniel_: you want an fstab entry, anyway..07:51
Dr_WillisI should point out - you DONT mount a Music/Audio CD. You just run a music player and it should access it..07:51
junius_Hey, My wifi's working fine on ubuntu, but while on, my wifi light on the laptop is blinking like crazy, should I be worried?07:51
YankDownUnderkickedfish, Nope - don't see you at all.07:51

Dr_WillisDasEi:  i have not seen the use of a fstab entry for a 'cdrom' used in ubuntu in some ages...07:52
Dr_Willisif ever.07:52
DasEikorsakov: sectors are line the line of a streetsystem, whereas blocks are the single houses07:52
Dr_Willisgnome should auto mount data cd's as needed. and a music cd.. well.. start a music program and see if it can play them07:52

kj6lxurww: can i install from source07:59
Dr_Williskj6lxu:  if thats not the version in the repos.. use a ppa, or use source. (ppa would be easiest)08:00
Dr_Williskj6lxu:  but its proberly better to not do this on a 'work' machine.08:00
rwwkj6lxu: Sure, but it's likely to cause all sorts of problems and isn't supported here.08:00
bullgardDoes Maverick provide libreoffice DEB program packages? Using Synaptic I could not find any.08:01
Dr_Willisbullgard:  not in the default repos. I think theres some LibreOffice ppa's out there08:01
rwwbullgard: There's a PPA for it. Maverick's repositories only contain OO.o08:01
rww!libreoffice08:01
ubottuCurrent stable releases of Ubuntu use OpenOffice.org, and do not have supported packaging for LibreOffice. Ubuntu developers are working on packaging for Ubuntu Natty and backports for 10.10 and 10.04. See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-January/032298.html for more information on progress and an unstable, unsupported PPA.08:01

KucukMubasiroh, you were referring the --dry-run-purge ?08:44
DasEiKucukMubasir: sudo apt-get  remove --purge nvidia*  --dry-run08:44
Dr_WillisLXCC-Vincenzo:  if you are useing 'gdm' try gdm, if kdm, try kdm. just make sure your 'login screen' service is not running befor you try the startx command.08:44
DasEiKucukMubasir: the appendix to make sure you don't waste unwanted pakets, if all fine,  cut it again08:45

daniel_cd /dev && ls08:48
daniel_yes sr008:49
Dr_WillisLXCC-Vincenzo:  you may want to ask in #lubuntu how to stop their login service. I thought it was ldm. it may be called somthing differntly08:49
Dr_WillisLXCC-Vincenzo:  you could look in /etc/init/ and see if theres a gdm.conf or ldm.conf of somthingelseDM.conf it may be using.08:49

Dr_Willis!runlevel | KucukMubasir09:13
ubottuKucukMubasir: In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab.09:13
falkon303specifically09:13
gaelfx1MegaHerz: did you find the info in that second link I sent you? there's an example interfaces file that you shoudl take a look at, I think it has what you want09:13
Dr_WillisKucukMubasir:  short answser.. you dont..  ubuntu dosent use runlevels that way09:13
javahorn_Fudge: it is not at software centre, i mean , does skype along with LIVE CD , so that i can test, rather than installing afresh?09:13
KucukMubasirthanks Dr_Willis09:13
LXCC-VincenzoDr_Willis: i've created new user but startx not work09:13
Dr_Willisjavahorn_:  could be the Skype repos are not included by default.  check the skype factoid to see where its at.09:14
Dr_Willis!skype | javahorn_09:14
ubottujavahorn_: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga09:14
KucukMubasiris there any solutions for "frequency is out of range" error?09:14
Dr_WillisLXCC-Vincenzo:   thats a sign of a deeper systemissue. not just a user setting. :( that can be much harder to figure out.09:14
gaelfx1eXpLoD: to refresh the panel, I believe you would have to restart gdm, so best bet is log out and in again09:14
Fudgejavahorn_   see my second solution, quick  check sudo apt-cache search skype if it shows sudo apt-get isntall skype09:14
gaelfx1eXpLoD unless I misunderstood what it is you want to do?09:14
falkon303I sure wish mio factory worked on ubuntu09:14
Dr_WillisLXCC-Vincenzo:  are you getting any sctual error messages with it? what does startx do exactly when youy try it.09:14

eXpLoDWell the date is weird,it's upside down,so i thought refreshing the panel would help09:15
eXpLoDhow is the default image viewer named in ubuntu?09:15
sharperguyHey. Does anyone here know how I can install the java OpenCL library? There doesn't seem to be anything in the repos.09:16
rwweXpLoD: evince, I think09:16
gaelfx1eXpLoD maybe you need to remove the applet from the panel and then re-add it?09:16
eXpLoDyea,how is the date and time applet named?09:17
ruif13hi, please i need a big help :( dono why i can't use my monitor connected to my laptop with HDMI cable, anyone can help? i have nvidia09:17
gaelfx1eXpLoD not sure, right-click it and select properties to find out09:17
gaelfx1ruif13: do you have the nvidia drivers installed already?09:17
ruif13yes gaelfx109:18
eXpLoDyeah just de-selected show time and then selected it again and now its fine09:18
javahorn_Fudge: sudo apt-cache search skype at command prompt does not throw up anything, so it is confirmed LIVE CD does not have skype preinstalled. now best will be to install as you suggested?09:18
=== gaelfx1 is now known as gaelfx
Fudgejavahorn_  in the default places it gets programs from, called the repositories09:18
dddsharperguy,  I believed u just need to add to your CP path09:18
Dr_Willisruif13:  ive seen some laptops get confused. if the cable/monitor is not plugged in when the system powers/boots up. also there may be Fn-XXX keys on the laptop to toggle the external monitor.09:19
gaelfxruif13: and have you tried asking the settings utility to detect monitors while the hdmi is plugged in?09:19
Dr_Willisruif13:  OR try the nvidia-settings tool to see if they detect it.09:19
Fudgejump on skype.com and download a .deb for it, pretty easy to install sudo dpkg -i skype-filename.deb09:19
gaelfxeXpLoD haha, cool, I love when stuff like that happens09:20
ruif13gaelfx I the nvidia detects the model monitor and resolution but when i restart x still the same09:20
ruif13gaelfx i look at the boot of my laptop and doesn't ssee anything about hdmi09:20

ayush_which are the non-apple notebooks that have a multi-touch touchpad?09:21
gaelfxayush_: tons of em, nowadays09:22
gaelfxayush_: I'm pretty sure a lot of ASUS lappies have em09:22
Dr_Willisits impossible to keep up with all the new neat stuff comming out.. or comming out soon. :)09:22
dddehm does ubuntu support multitouch device?09:22
stiegwhere to get binary drivers of ralink wireless cards on net, anyone knows?09:22
Assidhrmm how well does ubuntu netbook perform on those 10" asus eepc netbooks09:23
Dr_Willisddd:  it was supposed tobe a improved feature in 10.10  i recall.09:23
ayush_gaelfx, are ASUS laptops good for linux?09:23
ruif13gaelfx my configs http://paste.ubuntu.com/572987/09:23
gaelfxayush_: yeah, I'd say they're generally pretty good09:23
LXCC-VincenzoDr_Willis: sorry for delay, i'm trying to create a paste of errors09:24
gaelfxayush_: most popular brands work somewhat well at least, though there's almost always a little tweaking that needs to be done09:24
gaelfxruif13: did you try to use it with twinview at all? to see if perhaps the problem is with xinerama?09:25
ruif13hum gona see09:25
ayush_Is there any major company that sells laptops with no OS / freedos / linux pre-installed?09:26
dddas ayush_ asked, any notebook add multitouch (excl apple)?09:26
gaelfxddd: can you scroll with two fingers on your touchpad in ubuntu? cause that's multitouch09:26
gaelfxayush_: there are a few, but most of the "majors" seem to have stopped doing that09:26
Dr_WillisLXCC-Vincenzo:  the 'pastebin' command does wonders. :)09:26
Dr_Willisayush_:  system76 i think does.09:27
Dr_Willisayush_:  but 'major' is a relative word here. :)09:27
gaelfxI think if you buy 1000+ units, you can get them without anything installed09:27
lahwranis there a way to use apt-get trickery to 'upgrade' linux mint to ubuntu?09:27
conconSynaptic had multitouch long before apple09:27
ayush_yeah but system76 laptops are as costly as apple's and are made out of plastic.09:27
dddgaelfx, I haven't tried that yet. Is it support zooming?09:28
javahorn_Fudge: while installing 10.10. i get "No Root File System defined". what to correct?09:28
Dr_Willislahwran:  it uses the same repos for the 'ubuntu' side. so try upgrading it and see.. dont expect much spport from here, or mint if it fails however.09:28
dddand rotating?09:28
gaelfxddd: last time I tried it on my netbook, I believe it did09:28
gaelfxddd: did not try rotating09:28
lahwranDr_Willis: it's not my machine, it's a friend who installed mint and now I'm going "eww go away mint"09:28
Dr_Willislahwran:  you could try removing all the mint specific repos.. adding the ubuntu ones.. and let it fight it out. (i would suggest doing backups)09:28
conconjavahorn_: Sounds like you haven't defined a root partition09:29
dddgood to knowing that:)09:29
martinusexHi folks, glad to have found this channel :)09:29
gaelfxddd: well, don't take it as a given, it's something you gotta test on your hardware. just cause it worked for me doesn't mean you'll get the same results with anything09:30
paonecan any one help me09:30
javahorn_concon: i have existing windows(corrupted), so where i should define root partition?09:30

dddIs ubuntu will use gnome3 shell on the next release?09:30
paonei installed ubutnu in my laptop dell inspiron n403009:30

paoneand my wireless and lan does work09:30
paonehow to install it09:31
javahorn_it says about unmount partitions but i did not unmount it09:31
paonei am new to it09:31
gaelfxddd: there were rumory kinda things that they'll be using unity, but even if they don't, I don't think Gnome 3 will make the cut09:31
dddDr_Willis, u mean ubuntu will _NOT_ adopt gnome3 shell at al?09:31
conconjavahorn_: Are you installing ubuntu while keeping windows?09:31
javahorn_specify  partitions manually i clicked09:31
Fudgejavahorn_  when tryint to install the root filesystem goes in / so the mount  point will be /09:31
javahorn_concon:  yes09:31
martinusex@gaelfx : i have a broken Lucid 10.04, I installed oregano and some things around that and the GUI got messed up (mixed colors and such)09:32
Dr_Willisddd:  'rumor abound' but ive not heard it mention that they will be useing it..09:32
conconjavahorn_: The partition you're going to install ubuntu on needs to have the label /09:32
martinusexIn the end the system hangs09:32
Dr_Willisddd:  i would say it  may be in the repos eventually.. but not the default09:32
conconNot lable, mount point09:32
gaelfxmartinusex: did you try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop?09:32
martinusexi try to reinstal from live cd but the systems hangs in the GUI mode09:32

dddgaelfx,  there're some change that bother me. unity more less09:37

Dr_WillisLXCC-Vincenzo:  as another test try just running 'X' see if it has a dixplay with a X cursor..  somting seems really weird here.09:38
gaelfxddd: well, the nice thing about unity is that it's designed more or less for widescreen monitors, so things that don't need to be vertical generally aren't. I can't believe it's taken this long since widescreens became popular for anyone to do that09:38
ChaliKucukMubasir, have you tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop?09:39

Dr_Willispunkinhell:  you could always compile it i guess..10:10
bazhangamit, then use 32bit10:10
ubuntuWantaBe     gaelfx: I last plug it into windows xp then rebooted over into unbuntu10:10
Dr_Williszxh728:  thers proberly PPA's for newer version10:10
punkinhelli want to do it the hard way.. i mean if i can cook some code replicating VIM in vi, that would be better.. so any idea where i should start looking at firstlY?10:11

ubuntuWantaBeno10:11
punkinhellvi just tracks to /usr/bin/vi10:11
ubuntuWantaBe<gaelfx : no10:11
gaelfxubuntuWantaBe: maybe you should try plugging it into a windows machine, then ejecting it, then plug it back into your ubuntu machine10:11
ashnurthat's not what I asked10:11
punkinhellthe vi i am talking about is installed on a HP-UX machine10:11
amitbazhang: ok i will use 32 bit but i want to know why it is not installing so m not going to give up i will try as i want to learn only!10:12

Dr_Willispunkinhell:  so they are not using ubuntu?10:12
punkinhellnopes10:12
ashnur:)10:12
Dr_Willispunkinhell:  so.. why are you asking about it in here then?10:12
bazhangamit, and as suggested before ask about vbox products from their site in #vbox10:12
dddpunkinhell,  :)10:13
Dr_Willisfind/install  or compile a vi that supports what you want.10:13
ubuntuWantaBeok couldn`t hurt I guess thxs back later as now I will have to reboot back into xp then boot back into ubuntu  thats a lot of boots10:13
amit:bazhang:they are saying its ubuntu problem10:13
ashnurDr_Willis, do you have any idea how can I further debug that with standard boot it enters in low graphics but with startx everything is ok. I am definitely a newbie on this, I do not know the difference betwen these.10:13
punkinhellu've got my question wrong, i guess. I have vi installed on a HP-UX machine at my work place. And ofcourse i have ubuntu installed at home. as i don't have rights to install anything aon the HP-UX machine at work, i  want to add the syntax highlighting functionality of VIM in VI at work10:14
oCeanamit: does your cpu have vt-x or vt-d?10:14
amitoCean: yes i enabled both10:15
Dr_Willisashnur:  Not sure of any differanfe  - they mey be running some dirfernt startup/desktop startup files.10:15
ashnurpunkinhell, I still do not understand why the simple :syntax on wouldnot work10:15
amitoCean: i enabled VT,VT-d from BIOS setup10:15
oCeanamit:  you tried  egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo ?10:15
amitoCean: yes10:15
punkinhellwell in vanilla vi u don't have a syntax option to work on...see how painful that is :)10:15
oCeanamit: and it returns what?10:15
amitoCean: it has vme and vmx also under flags10:16
ashnurDr_Willis, that's what I thought, but are there any documentation somewhere about this? or any keyword to search..? I am really stuck with this :(10:16
dddpunkinhell, like I said before u need to install vim. maybe with static link10:17
oCeanamit: hmm.. in that case you should be able to run 64bit guest. And your error is..?10:17
extra11ubuntu is nice :) desktop version, any try the server version?10:18
bazhangextra11, sure10:18
extra11good?10:18
amitoCean:http://img64.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img64/2296/screenshotyvh.png10:18
bazhangextra11, some questions relating to it?10:18
bazhangextra11, you may wish to try #ubuntu-server if so10:18
amitoCean: i have 64bit as my host also10:18
oCeanamit: maybe it requires boot option for the kernel. It's redhat?10:19
Dr_Willisashnur:  as a test. make a new user.. see if affects themn also10:19
amitoCean: yes i want to run red hat under virtual box and Ubuntu is my host OS10:20
Dr_Willispunkinhell:  set up sshfs. use local vim to edit files..10:20

Dr_WilliseXpLoD:  any idea what you need to add? ive never uses scrot10:22
punkinhellok thanks,will get back to u if it doesn't work10:22
oCeanamit: you might try asking in #rhel, mentioning your exact error10:22
eXpLoDmaybe some alias or something....scrot is just a command line screenshot taker..it's handy sometimes10:22

coraxxbadbyte: two ways to do that ... one is the "session"-tool in Ubuntu, where you can add alink to the software you wish to start ...and the other is in the terminal where you can add a file (don't recall its name but I'll look it up), where you list the software you wish to start10:36

shaun_Dr_Willis, when i hit . and shift at the same time it gets stuck doing whatever . is bound to . I've asked in the quakelive forums but they are blaming it on ubuntu10:47

badbyte???10:48
paoneok10:48
KucukMubasirDr_Willis: I think I have installed the necessary drivers10:48
Dr_Willisjavahorn_:  resizeing windows can take forever..  expecially if the hd was not scan/defragged first.10:48
javahorn_Dr_Willis: 6 -7 hrs?10:48
Dr_Willisjavahorn_:  i always make it a point to even resize within windows.. or via gparted - NOT in the installer..10:49
Dr_Willisjavahorn_:  depends on the sizes of the HD.. yes...10:49
KucukMubasirbut the problem is that after I fill "Username", the login screen blacks out and refreshes back to "username" with empty textbox :/10:49
Dr_Willisjavahorn_:  i resized a 1tb hd the other day.. took several hrs.. it was very full however.10:49

KucukMubasirso I think, I might login in console and return to GUI after, but It won't work10:50
bazhangbadbyte, dont repeat so quickly please10:50
Dr_WillisJordan_U:  windows resizeing ntfs = like 10x+ faster then the installer.. also gparted at least gives me some feedback on how long its going to take..10:50
badbytebazhang: ok sorry :)10:50
Dr_WillisJordan_U:  so do what you want. :)10:50
KucukMubasireven a gibberish username freezes and refreshes it10:50

spinaczhi11:34
redboxDr_Willis: I crafted a script that pulls in 3 files from different servers and combine them into one /etc/hosts. That does not work. I'm able to access ridiculous ads and malware websites such as digg. :(11:34
ionutanyone knows a program to Convert SQLLite to MDB11:34
ionut?11:34
Dr_Willisredbox:  so you are using some ad-blocking type of complex hosts file  to blacklist sites.11:35
redboxDr_Willis: For instance, I myself don't use facebook and I read an article about how it is tracking you even although you're not a member. With cookies. So I do have a list of *.facebook.com to curb it. Facebook.com should take me to 127.0.0.111:36
redboxDr_Willis: Right. Ads, Malware, Dangerous / Fake Domain Names, Stupid Websites.11:36
redboxDr_Willis: Is there a limit on /etc/hosts? It's a whooping 3.1 MB11:37
[deXter]Wow, that's a lot of blocked sites..11:38
ionutanyone knows a program to Convert SQLLite to MDB ?11:38
badbyteis there a way to start a programm on the console telling ubuntu to use all cores of the system?11:38

redbox[deXter]: It's not a hack. Not at all. :\11:40
Dr_Willisredbox:  no idea. i havent used that old blacklist-ad site via hosts method in years11:40
Dr_Willisredbox:  as a test, try specific blocks with a smaller file.. and build up.11:40

Dr_Willisbadbyte:  if the programs are progbramed right. they should automcaiclly use the cores.11:40
=== administrator is now known as Guest19091
[deXter]redbox: It is, it wasn't designed to block a million websites. It's inefficient when you can instead use a simple filter that'll work for a whole bunch of websites. It'll slow down your browsing even if you get it to work.11:41
[deXter]redbox: I suggest using OpenDNS instead11:41
Dr_Willisamin:  connect via command line = SSH. a GUI = freenx, or vnc, or X forwareding over SSH11:41
[deXter]redbox: along with AdBlock for firefox11:41
redbox[deXter]: OpenDNS = Ads. Oh wait. Pay for it to get ad-free, right?11:41
aminkartagis:  which one freenx  freenxrdp  freenx-server?11:41
Dr_Willisredbox:  i never notice any ads... :)11:41

Dr_WillisMetalik:  should be able to.. but it may be a little tight for any real work.11:54
Dr_Willisbut theres always usb flash drives for data :)11:54
Dr_Willisand any updates/upgrades may fill up your /var/cache real real fast11:54

Morten_[deXter], why would a lighter OS help?11:57
Dr_WillisMetalik:  installed - yes.. run - well.. that may get harder.. since theres lots of space needed for stuff after install.11:57
Us3r_UnfriendlyDr_Willis: well there are thousands of distros out there, who's to say there isn't a emacs distro??11:57

erUSULNaeblis: keyboard lights started blinking <<< that's a kernel panic12:44
zlatanerUSUL, is a possibilty that I removed or installed some package12:44

erUSULNaeblis: check /var/log/messages and /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/syslog12:45
ActionParsnipNaeblis: use memtest in grub so you know your ram is good, the lights show a kernel panic12:45

Warlord711lol always the same with any linux - doesnt know the hardware. ubuntu doesnt see sda in installer, debian doesnt recognize keyboard, which make a installation very hard ^^12:48

ActionParsnip!clone13:43
ubottuTo replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate13:43
ActionParsnipdeckard: could use rsync too, or dd13:44
wn1zidwhere can i find a port list, one that gives me a full port list ??, thanks13:44
MayankActionParsnip: like for instance i do not want childUserA to have access to terminal, but I want ParentUserA to have access to terminal13:44
Dr_Willisdeckard:   depends on how you define a 'clone' :)13:44
Dr_Willisdeckard:  you could dd the first hd into an image file on a filesystem on a larger backup hd.13:44
deckardthat would be a good start, as a backup13:45
Dr_Willisdeckard:  you can also clone/backup/dd specific partitions. not the whole hd. (which makes things easier actually)13:45
Dr_Willisor use a tool like fsarchiver.13:45
Dr_Willisit all depends on what you want to do with the backups13:45
redboxdeja-dup works great for backup, for me. ;)13:45
deckardso what I want to do with the backup is restore my Windows system13:45
deckardto a partition on another drive13:45
deckardif that's possible13:46
Dr_Willisdeckard:  with windows. you can 'dd' the partition or disk from one drive to another and it will be an identical copy. (bit for bit) if the 2 drives differ in size. you will need to resize the filesystem afterwards to fill in the rest of the HD.13:46
wmpredbox: i have problem with restaring system, i must pull reset becouse my ubuntu stop on "restarting system"13:46

spl0iter I can't type13:49
deckardso my question is: is that the only way it will work, or can I use a partition of the destination drive?13:49

ChadsMy wireless USB is loading the wrong driver and it wont connect to the internet.13:49
deckardright, so I understand it will do *something*, but will it do what I want? :-)13:50

deckardwill that partition be bootable as Windows after13:50
icerootdeckard: dd is doing what you tell dd13:50
deckardlol I know13:50
TanLizxxxChads:so,you want to ban it?13:51
Dr_WillisYou may want to look into fsarchiver. or some other 'tools' that are more feature-set designed.,13:51
icerootdeckard: if you also have a correct bootsector, yes13:51
ChadsYes Tan13:51
deckardiceroot: could you expand on that?13:51
BluesKajHiyas13:51
ChadsBlacklist it as it were and use the other one.13:51
Dr_Willisplan on fixing the boot records in any case.. :) at least learn HOW.. in case you need to.13:51
spl0itMy xorg.conf configuration only seems to have video settings...where would I find my mouse configuration so I can fix it?13:52
ChadsBut I have typed a few blacklist entries but it always pops up again in lsmod13:52
icerootdeckard: normally a partition doesnt contain a boot-sector so if you only copy a partition you cant boot it if you dont copy the boot-sector from the old harddrive13:52
deckardis bootsector == MBR?13:53
ulrichard_How can I do the following in mykefile syntax:  newting an ifeq condition in an if[] condition. From what I read, the ifeq stuff has to be on separate lines, while the if[] stuff has to be all on the same line. That's somewhat contradictory if I want to nest them. Here is what I try to do: http://paste.ubuntu.com/573048/13:53
icerootdeckard: the first 512bytes of a hdd13:53
Daraeldeckard: Not exactly - there's only one MBR on a drive but there can be more than one boot-sector (you can have a boot sector in each partition)13:54
deckardah. okay13:54
DaraelI'm having some problems with Flash in 64-bit Ubuntu.  Have tested both repository-32-bit and native-64-bit flash player.  In any case, pressing the shift key is registered, but releasing it doesn't seem to be, unless there's a text-entry area in the Flash.  Example of places it can happen: http://ur1.ca/3cg3b13:54
deckardand dd won't copy the bootsector in a partition, if there is one?13:54
Daraeldeckard: I can't see any reason it wouldn't.13:54
icerootdeckard: if you copy the partition and there is a boot-sector, then dd will also copy the boot-sector13:54
icerootdeckard: but not the mbr13:55
deckardok. so the way i understand how my dual boot is set up currently is that grub is in the MBR of my hard drive, but then possibly Windows has stuff in the bootsector of its partition, which is what grub points to when it chainloads windows13:55
deckardis that a correct understanding?13:55
wn1zidcan anyone direct me to a complete port list for ubuntu ??13:55
spl0itdeckard: not sure what your goal is... I recently recovered a corrupt partition table with testdisk...13:55
redboxThe problem with dd is that if you have nothing on your system, it still dd the empty bits. :\13:55
icerootwn1zid: /etc/services13:55
yeikdeckard: yes thats correct.13:55
erUSULulrichard_: better ask in ##c or in #workingset13:55
wn1zidok, ill give it a whirl, thx13:56
SalixHey all, error with a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 - "No init found, try passing init = bootarg". Current recommendations on the forums are to do a filesystem check or to reinstall the GRUB. Does anyone know what's causing the error, or how to make sure it doesn't happen again? The fact it's occurring on a fresh install screams a hardware error, but I can't think of what might cause it, especially as the computer's been runni13:56
wn1zidi tried that as root, permission denied13:56
icerootwn1zid: less /etc/services13:56
wn1zidok13:56
icerootwn1zid: if you mean with port = network-port13:57
uleGood morning guys13:57
deckardcool, so I don't think i need to worry about the MBR then, it will just stay as grub. and the Windows boot stuff will get copied with dd, so all I might have to do is tweak my grub config to point to the new location of windows13:57
wn1zidall ports the machine has and uses13:57
Ampelbeinulrichard_: use \ at the end of the lines13:57
icerootwn1zid: nmap hostname will show you any used (open) port until port 1024 of that machine13:58
wn1zidnice, ok, again, thanks13:58
yeikdeckard you will have to chainload that partition, but if the partition is set up properly it should work13:58
deckardso say my windows partition is sdb1. I can create a new partition in sdc2 that's the same size, and then do dd -if=/dev/sdb1 -of=/dev/sdc2 - right?13:58
icerootwn1zid: also netstat -pan is a good way to see what is going on13:58
deckardyeik: yeah that is what I'm doing now so that's fine13:58
wn1zidya, thats the one i'm looking for13:58
yeikdeckard: if you are transferring a windows partition to another partition, make sure you use proper tools that copy data like the bootloader. just copying the files will not work13:59

deckardDr_Willis: but if i dd to a file, that won't be usable in place of the old partition will it?14:00
Dr_Willisdeckard:   dd if=/dev/sda1  of=/path/to/keep/the/image/file/fileimage.image  bs=204814:00
Dr_Willisdeckard:  'in place of' ? what do you mean...14:00
bluenemowhat can i do when i want to watch .mkv movies and they dont play liquid?14:00
Dr_Willisdeckard:  you can mount image files if yopu wanted to.. or dd them back to a hard drive.14:00
deckardi want to actually *move* my windows installation to a new location, and get rid of the old HD14:00
deckardnot just back it up14:00
Dr_Willisdeckard:  then you dd from one device to anotehr.. or to a file.. THEN from the file to a 2nd device14:01
yeikDr_Willis: it sounds like he is trying to move a partition from one location to another, and chainload it using grub, he can't chainload an image properly in grub.14:01
deckardyeik: yes thats exactly what I want to do14:01
Dr_Willisdeckard:  copying from one hard drive to a NEW hard drive you are saying?14:01
deckardi think this would be easy if the destination was a blank drive14:01
deckardno, that's the thing14:02
deckardi have data on one partition of the drive i'm copying to, that i want to keep14:02
Dr_Willisdeckard:  the destitanon need to be either an emoty drive. OR a empty partition... yes.14:02
Dr_Willisdeckard:  back it up.. thats the bottom line.. data worth keeping = worth backing up14:02
deckardyes of course :-)14:02
rizzuhWhat file system should I use for a file server? The size will potentially be 24TB (8x3TB disks) in RAID 6.14:02
Dr_Willisdeckard:  its doable. but you need to be VERY carefull how you use dd.14:02
[segfault]spl0it: look under System/Preferences/Mouse on the Gnome menus14:03
deckardright14:03
Dr_Willisdd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bd=2048   (IF sda1 is less then sdb1 in size, should work) but you will still need to fix the boot record i imagine.14:03
yeikdeckard: you already have the partition created? it might be worth dd'ing the data partition to a file, then dd'ing the partition over.14:03
deckardi dont have it created yet, i didn't want to bother until i was confident this would even work14:04
spl0itsegfault: that allows me to change sensitivity, etc... I'm looking to change the configuration as the device buttons are loaded properly... (Ubuntu help pointed me to an article for my mouse to adjust xorg.conf however xorg.conf doesn't have anything but video configurations)14:04
deckardi might just end up getting a new HD since it sounds like that will be much easier :-)14:04
spl0itsegfault: aren't loaded properly (not all of the buttons work, etc)14:04
yeikdeckard: oh ok. new hard drives are very cheap now. There are also lots of clone tools that are simple to use and work well. just most of them work with windows partitions, not linux.14:05
deckardyeah that's what I'm thinking14:05
ChadsAny help blacklisting a driver?14:05
[segfault]spl0it: did you check your xorg.conf?14:05

zallosUbuntu ROCKS UR SOCKS OFF!15:21
DaraelProtomega: I would say that almost everything available for Linux, including Ubuntu, is modifiable in any way you have the /competence/ to do so.  The competence required is massively variable, and there are a few things (non-free drivers) that you can't modify because the source isn't available.15:21

red2kicProtomega: Presumbly because they didn't know it was possible. The very same reasons why many people stick with Windows... They didn't know any better and are afraid of unfamiliarity.15:22
DaraelProtomega: And compdoc is right that in Ubuntu most things are better left alone unless you have a very good reason to modify them.15:22

DaraelActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/161334115:23
red2kicDarael: No, compdoc is not right. You're better off finding out what you like the most. I don't like the indicator. I find them silly so I don't have it. Ubuntu allows you to make a transition to linux world. From there, you should start exploring things on your own.15:23

red2kicProtomega: Heh. I feel the same thing. Things were very different and I went back. Six months later, there were a new release so I gave it a go. The only thing I did was that I made a full commitment to linux by forcing myself... I moved all my files, docs, movies, etc right over to linux and just try it. It works out pretty well. :)15:25
lexvegasyoann792, and you have to restart the ubuntu machine to share the internet15:25
stefgvskram21: as a quick run down: check that youhave latest bios,then check that the hd is ok, and properly connected. After all the lowlevel stuff is sorted out then do a pastebin of 'dmesg' and come back15:25

s5shey gyus I was using btrfs but my system crapped out. Now I can't boot a liveCD (lol) because the kernel detects the disk with btrfs and panics or whatever and just goes in a loop.

DaraelProtomega: Most GNOME settings are in ~/.gnome2 and ~/.config.  Some is in ~/.cache - workspace nav is handled by Compiz if you have desktop effects turned on so you'd need to install compizconfig-settings-manager15:58

armenceHello all. I would like to install ubuntu in a VM within ubuntu. I would ideally not want that process to be too big of a burden since I plan on doing it often-ish (to test packaging). What would you recommend?16:02
nash__armence16:02
Daraelslinzex: Do you absolutely need to use X-CHANGE?  There's an enormous number of native PDF viewers; you could try one of those.16:02

aeon-ltdarmence: virtualbox16:02
ActionParsniparmence: virtualbox is easy to setup16:02
jtniehofNaeblis: I use a flash blocker so flash only runs when I want it. Package xul-ext-flashblock on Ubuntu 10.10. Might help you with the debugging16:03
s5sarmence: there are other ways to do that. Look at chroot16:03
erUSULs5s: have you fsck'ed the btrfs partition ? does btrfs has a fsck ?16:03
slinzexDarael yes but, I need the best PDF viewer witch let's me make annotations in pdf16:03

ActionParsnipslinzex: there is no best16:03
DaraelerUSUL: btrfs doesn't have a working fsck in Maverick.16:03
ActionParsnipslinzex: you can use pdfedit to edit pdf files16:04
Daraels5s: Btrfs trouble?  What's the issue?16:04
slinzexDarael if you check PDF xchange viewer it has a lot of functions to make annotations16:04
erUSULs5s: well it does ;P16:04
armences5s: I'm using chroot to perform the packaging, but when testing, I want to eliminate as many variables as possible (including the possibility I don't really understand chroot as much as I think I do)16:04
stefgs5s: usually the bios (which selects from which device to bnoot) is not aware of filesystems... if it is a S-ATA drive and a reasonable motherboard you can even hotplug the drive after booting. I'd dd it then to zero as the first step16:04
Naeblisjtniehof: so it willask my permission each time before running any flash content? seems inconvenient :(16:04
s5sstefg: I plugged it but the LiveCD running doesn't see it. dmesg doesn't show it's in...16:05
jtniehofNaeblis: it shows a window that you click on to start the flash. Can always uninstall it once you're done with the debugging.16:05
slinzexActionParsnip but pdfEdit is bad for me16:05
sharperguyHmm. Well I just rebooted my machine and suddenly I have no GLX extension. I think the problem might be that I installed a python library that is meant for nvidia (I'm on intel chipset), but I have no idea what it changes or how to revert it.

zeratul2kHello, everyone! Got a little annoyance here that I haven't been able to fix. For a while now the screen has been dimming, even with the AC adapter plugged and with ALL the related dimming options disabled in gnome-power-manager. The brightness keys don't work, so to restore the screen to full brightness I have to restart the computer (logging out and back again doesn't fix it)16:41
ActionParsnipzeratul2k: what model laptop (kinda useful)16:41
zeratul2kthe computer is an HP probook 4710s016:42
pw-toxic_can someone please help me repair my raid?16:42
compdoczeratul2k, many laptops have power settings (including screen dimming) in the bios16:42
LucyIntheSkyActionParsnip, authenticate, I have force user and force group16:42
Daraeljogu: Sorry about that.  Yes, you usually want that option.16:43
zeratul2kif so, shouldn't that happen in all OSes? this only happens in Ubuntu16:43
zevonjaAnyone online that might help me? i`m having trouble installing fedora on my desktop pc16:43
compdocsome OSes might just be better at over-riding the biso settings16:43
compdocbios16:43
zeratul2kwell, gonna go take a look at it then and be back in a few16:44
Daraelzevonja: You'd be better off trying #fedora!16:44
LucyIntheSkyActionParsnip, do I need that under [printers] also or just my share16:44
pragmaticenigmazeratul2k: what type of graphics card does your machine have in it?16:44
joguso now I would want to analyse the partition structure?16:44

zevonjaDarael, ?16:44
Daraeljogu: That's right.16:44
ActionParsnipzevonja: feddora isn't supported here16:45
zevonjaoh my bad16:45
Daraelzevonja: This is #ubuntu, a channel for Ubuntu support.  For help installing Fedora, you probably want #fedora.  Type "/join #fedora" without the quotes and hit enter.16:45
zevonjai meant to say ubuntu16:45
zevonjasorry guys16:45
sacarlsonjogu: I think you need to setup some free space for your secound system,  you may need to resize one so that you have at least 10gb space for a new partition to install ubuntu16:45
zevonjamay i tell you the problem ?16:45
Daraelzevonja: Ah, OK, that's fine.  In that case, could we have a little more detail about the problem?16:45

LinuxNoobi have a problem that has been annoying me for the past few days, maybe a week. videos crash, i get a weird "picture" in the middle of my screen that is about 40% transparent.  it is a rectangle about..1:4 the size of the screen and it shows like the last video i was watching on youtube. it also makes text sometimes unreadable because it makes the background in said box turn black as well. ...17:27
jogu"WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted." would this be why the ubuntu installer thinks my whole hard drive is unallocated?17:27

pw-toxic_sacarlson, i dont think i have used LVM17:28

Josef_Bhi all .. n00b question .. been for ever since i have done this17:28
milamber!firewall17:28
ubottuUbuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist.17:28

BluesKajjogu, http://www.virtualvcp.com/linux-technical-guides/125-clearing-a-guid-partition-table-gpt-in-linux17:30
pragmaticenigmadario_: Yes, Ubuntu comes with a limit firewall enabled by default... it will allow anything you do on your machine to communicate on the web when needed, but people on the web are not able to communicate with your computer17:30
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: fdisk won't support lvm17:30
pw-toxic_sacarlson, but i have created this raid with fdisk17:30
pw-toxic_sacarlson, i have used mkfs.ext4 to create that partition17:30
sacarlsonpw-toxic_: no you used mdadm17:30
pragmaticenigmadario_: You still need to be smart about what you do on the web and make sure you don't share passwords or use public wifi to do your banking17:30
pw-toxic_sacarlson, i have used mdadm to create the raid and then mkfs.ext4 to create a partition on it17:31

ubottuAnubis: dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP18:14
AnubisWell, I also have a problem with my DNS server.18:14

ubottuTo replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude  --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate18:23

DaraelDwade09: There's no such thing as Ubuntu 10.  There's Lucid, which is 10.04, and there's Maverick, which is 10.10, but there's no Ubuntu 10.  I'm sorry.20:28

DaraelDwade09: There's no such thing as Ubuntu 10.  There's Lucid, which is 10.04, and there's Maverick, which is 10.10, but there's no Ubuntu 10.  I'm sorry.  We don't support Mint in here.20:29
gGgG[segfault]: im running the livecd, and i havent installed the proprietory drivers. ,20:29
DaraelDwade09: Whoops, sorry, thought I hadn't sent that the first time.20:30
gGgG[segfault]: anyway dont worry about it, i can just restart if need be20:30
mr_shederUSUL, yep20:30
JoniiDarael, ya, it was it was supposed to read "thank you very much" in Japanese20:30
joel135mindfire: try this program: sudo apt-get install pysdm20:30
DaraelDwade09: Mint makes changes from stock Ubuntu, we can't support it in here.  Take it to the Mint channel.20:30
[thor]I am using Ubuntu 10.10, and have just been automatically (without interaction) logged off, and dropped to the user login screen. Can anyone tell me where i would check for logs of recent activity or errors?20:30
[segfault]gGgG: ok, but if you do a full install and run into that issue, make sure you have the latest drivers installed.  g/l :)20:30
DaraelJonii: So it does.20:30
mario713scherbak: i know :P im just programing and entering on irc and got confused ^^20:30
ThinkT510!yay Jonii20:31
Darael[thor]: GDM's logs are a good place to start.20:31
arbitratorI have a problem.20:31
erUSULmr_shed: Profiles>Edit Profiles> is not working?20:31
mr_shedStarminn, I know how to set the background but I can't get the image not to scroll. it seems there is no option for keeping the image from scrolling with the type (ie, every new line forces the image up and tiles the image)20:31
ThinkT510!yay | Jonii20:31
ubottuJonii: Glad you made it! :-)20:31
pragmaticenigma[thor]: it would be easier to diagnose the problem if we knew what you were doing prior to being logged out20:31
Darael!ask | arbitrator (this doesn't quite fit but...)20:31
ubottuarbitrator (this doesn't quite fit but...): 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. :-)20:31
[thor]Darael: you don't happen to know where i would find those?20:31
arbitratorI'm chrooting to my system from liveCD, and I've gotten to the point of logging in as myself, but I get "su: pam_start: error 26"20:31
KucukMubasirerUSUL: what is the bashrc file?20:31
mr_shederUSUL, that works for setting an image as the terminal background. I just want that image to be static.20:31
DiverdudeIs there a way to search IRC channels (by filtering /list command in xchat) ?20:31
Darael[thor]: Not off the top of my head, but I would guess in /var/log somewhere.20:31
Dwade09Darael,  i got it anyways its gnome-volume-control-applet && disown20:32
KucukMubasiris there any correlation between profile and bashrc ?20:32
erUSULKucukMubasir: in you home. like ~/.profile ~/.bashrc20:32
[thor]pragmaticenigma: i was viewing a webpage using Chromium, downloading torrents using Deluge, chatting on IRC using XChat, and monitoring usage with Top.20:32
DaraelDwade09: Great, glad to hear you got it fixed.  Sorry for being somewhat unpleasant... I'm probably too tired to be on IRC.20:32
JoshDreamlandIs anyone here on a VAIO?20:32
erUSULKucukMubasir: both are using by bash. bashrc is read everytime bash startes profile only on login20:32
JoshDreamlandIf I can't find a way to fix the massive problems Ubuntu has with this VAIO, it's going back to the store20:32
KucukMubasirI know where they are, but these guide mentioning bashrc as if it is identical profile20:33
pragmaticenigma[thor]: did the web page have flash on it or make use of any third party plugins?20:33
Diverdudeis there a irc-client which is so integrated in the shell that i can use various bash-programs from the client?20:33
KucukMubasirthis guide is*20:33
erUSULKucukMubasir: it is not20:33
mindfireThanks Joel135, what will this program do and if i might just throw this in... im a total newbie at Linux so how easy will i destroy my system lol20:33
DaraelDiverdude: Try irssi with its /exec.20:33
[thor]pragmaticenigma: not sure, but re-opening it after logging back in did not cause a logoff.20:33
Ampelbeinmr_shed: uncheck the box "Scroll background image"20:33
Starminnmr_shed: Have you unchecked "Background image scrolls" ?20:34
Dwade09Darael,  in the good words of thumper off bambi mommy always says if you have nothing good to say dont say anything at all.20:34
erUSULDiverdude: to search channels use the alis service20:34
erUSULDiverdude: /msg alis list *string*20:34
pragmaticenigmait's likely a program faulted and took down X with it, causeing you to end up at the login screen... a good place to check would be under /var/log/Xorg.0.log20:34
shcherbakJoshDreamland: Vaio vgn-fw, all work but brigtnes adjustement, 10.10 64 bit20:35
joel135mindfire: it's a simple user interface that lets you configure hard drives. it will be located in System>Administration after install20:35
mr_shedI feel an utter idiot, I was certain I checked for that option. didn't find it before.20:35
mr_shedhmm20:35
JoshDreamlandshcherbak: Your trackpad is recognized as a trackpad?20:35
pragmaticenigma[thor]: I've had sites that use a lot of flash advertisements cause me to get logged out because it crashed X-server20:35
mindfireThank you Joel20:35
JoshDreamlandshcherbak: And not just a regular mouse?20:35
mr_shedthanks Ampelbein, Starminn ... I really don't know how I overlooked that before.20:36
JoshDreamlandI have no horizontal scrolling and no way to disable tap-click20:36

bazhangubox, within vbox?20:37
pragmaticenigmaHas anyone had any problems with flash in Chromium or Chrome web browsers?  I have two installations of Ubuntu and one machine Chromium will not work with flash (plugin fails to load) the other installation everything is fine20:37
uboxyeah20:37
SuShemSudoes ubuntu installer have a utillity to install without a keyboard *like an on screen keyboard thingy*20:37
JoshDreamlandshcherbak: My main problems are that there's no way to disable tap-clicking, and the brightness control is completely FUBAR20:37
uboxbazhang,  I have ubuntu running in vbox20:37
brontoeeeklevi, set router to forward port 80 to your server internal ip machine20:37
klevibrontoeee i have try it to do that20:37
Starminnpragmaticenigma: Chromium and Chrome ship with their own version of Flash, not related to what you have on your system.20:37
bazhangthats not possible as I understand it ubox perhaps confirm in #vbox20:37
klevibut i cant20:37
pragmaticenigma[thor]: It could be any number of things... if you can post the last 20 or so lines from /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin that would help20:37
klevimy port 80 is open20:37
klevibut didt point to my ubuntu20:37
DaraelSuShemSu: There's an on-screen keyboard available by default IIRC.20:37
ThinkT510ubox: installed the guestadditions?20:38
pragmaticenigmaStarminn: I'm sorry but I do not believe you to be correct... if you right click on a flash animation you will see "About Adobe Flash"20:38
DaraelStarminn: Actually that's not true, at least in the case of Chromium.  Chromium-from-the-repos uses the packaged flash-player.20:38
JoshDreamlandDarael: onboard?20:38
uboxI didnt install guestadditions20:38
sav123ciao20:38
uboxThinkT510,  should I install that20:38
ThinkT510ubox: yes20:38
arbitratorCan anyone help me with su: pam_start: error 26?20:38
DaraelJoshDreamland: That's the bunny.20:38
uboxok doing it now20:39
StarminnDarael pragmaticenigma: Ah, so it's only Chrome then, Well then, pragmatic, Chrome ships with its own. I guess Chromium uses the system20:39
JoshDreamland*curses at the VAIO as if it might fix something*20:39
uboxThinkT510, virtualbox guest additions correct20:39
shcherbakJoshDreamland: Confirmative, tap is not issue fom me, birigtness - got used to manual control (funny but in 64bit it is more cubersome than in 32bit).20:39
ThinkT510ubox: thats the one20:39
pragmaticenigmaSo I guess my question would be more towards Chromium... anyone know how to get Flash to stop crashing in Chromium?20:39
Daraelshubbar: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/index.html (for versions oother than Lucid just replace the "10.04" in the URL.20:39

DaraelSuShemSu: See above.20:40
uboxwin720:40
SuShemSuthanks20:40
uboxThinkT510,  win720:40
ThinkT510ubox: you can install the guest additions from the virtualbox user interface20:40
rhin0any program which will instigate a macro (set of keystrokes) from a singe "hotkey" like a function key to perform a lot of operations20:40
uboxoh20:40
cg2916Has anybody tried the Alpha 2?20:40
uboxlet me see if there is an option20:41
[thor]pragmaticenigma: the end of that log shows nothing but input device connections20:41
JoshDreamlandAnyone else here have a VAIO?20:41
Daraelcg2916: For prerelease versions, try #ubuntu+120:41
JoshDreamlandMaybe someone who got the brightness to work?20:41
pragmaticenigmayou might have to go back further...20:41
cg2916ok20:41
cg2916Darael: thanks20:41
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: I didn't see the question earlier, can you please repeat it for me?20:41
Daraelcg2916: No probs.20:41
uboxThinkT510, do you know if there is an option in virtualbox manager to install guest additions or is there a link20:42
[thor]gah.. timestamps in internet time20:42
ThinkT510ubox: one sec20:42
arbitratorI'm SO CLOSE.20:42
[thor]or something similar... seconds after the great beginning20:42
arbitratorDAMNIT.20:42
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: My trackpad is recognized as a mouse (so I can't configure it), and my brightness can't be set20:42
pragmaticenigma[thor]: the time stamps are actually from boot time, 0 seconds from boot is the start20:42
Daraelubox: Virtualbox has a menu option when you start the VM (somewhere, my memory is a touch fuzzy) to install the guest additions.20:42
KucukMubasirthanks for your help erUSUL, I resolved my bash related problem20:42
itMan44salut20:42

ThinkT510ubox: when the vm is running it's under the devices menu20:43
uboxok20:43
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: Some NVidia. I've installed the latest driver.20:43
tech-2what file do i have to uninstall to rid of the envelope in the notification area ??20:43
pragmaticenigmak, when you say you installed the latest driver, did you install it from the "additional hardware" tool?20:43
uboxThinkT510,  do I have to stop virtual machine to go under settings of it20:44
[segfault]tech-2: right click on it and select 'remove from panel'20:44
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma:  Originally. But then I had some problems, so I nabbed it from a different repository.20:44
[thor]pragmaticenigma: http://pastebin.com/jEMVQBc320:44
tech-2lol [segfault]   not the whole thing, just the envelope20:44
ThinkT510ubox: no, select the option while the vm is running and it will mount it in the vm, just like you inserted a cd20:44
Daraeltech-2: I'm not sure one /can/ remove individual parts of the indicator-applet.20:45
shcherbakJoshDreamland: hm, how?  "echo -n XX > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;" worked in 32, but not 64.20:45
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: The Additional Drivers tool shows the driver as well20:45
tech-2you can, i did it on another machine20:45
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: chances are that's where the problem is... you should try to stick with the drivers provided within the Additional Hardware tool... there is a good chance that the other package you installed may not be optomized or intended for your particular system20:45
abeI think I figured it out here20:45
pragmaticenigmaI would install the driver available in the Additional Drivers tool... it should be more compatible with your system20:45
=== canon is now known as Acid190
[segfault]tech-2: well, the panel is modular, so you aren't really removing everything, unless you mean you want the icon different, like a chat icon,etc.20:46
ThinkT510!yay | abe20:46
ubottuabe: Glad you made it! :-)20:46
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: The Additional Drivers tool displays the driver I have now with [Recommended] next to it20:46
pragmaticenigmaand is that one installed?20:46
JoshDreamlandI believe the repository I added just gave it a more current version20:46
JoshDreamlandand yes20:46
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: ah, okay20:46
JoshDreamlandActivated and currently in use20:46
tech-2i did it 2 weeks ago on another machine, i just cant rermember what i was told to uninstall20:46
abeThinkT510 yes indeed i did whoever sent me the link to the startup manager command is the winner today :)20:47
Daraeltech-2: Closest-looking package I can see is evolution-indicator20:47
uboxThinkT510,  when I click Devices -> Install Guest Additions nothing happens20:47
JoshDreamlandThis trackpad is killing me. It's so sensitive, it detects my ps changing the cursor position, like this. alm above it and clicks, thu20:47
abethank you guys20:47
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: is this a clean install or did it just start happening?20:48
ThinkT510ubox: it usually downloads it first, can you see anything in the statusbar of the vm?20:48
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma:  Clean install.20:48
[thor]pragmaticenigma: i have Xorg.0.log thru Xorg.5.log , is that a sequential naming scheme? should i be pasting Xorg.5.log ?20:48
JoshDreamlandAn update got the trackpad recognized as a mouse. The liveCD thought it was a knife sharpener.20:48
=== Swish[\] is now known as Swish
[thor]pragmaticenigma: Xorg.0.log.old ends with a Segmentation Fault error logged...20:49
Daraeltech-2: You'll also need to remove indicator-messages.20:49
tech-2thats prolly it20:49
pragmaticenigma[thor]: anything prior to that seg fault line?20:50
uboxThinkT510,  I see the cd mounted - do I need to run VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86.exe in the mounted disk20:50
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: What is the exact model number of that laptop20:50
JoshDreamlandVPCF136FM20:51
ThinkT510ubox: it should offer to install the guest additions within ubuntu20:51
[thor]pragmaticenigma: http://pastebin.com/Te65BQu820:51
Daraelubox: That file is the additions for a Windows guest, as the name suggests.  There should be something more suited to Ubuntu.20:51
ThinkT510ubox: .exe files are for windows20:51
uboxlol20:51
DaraelThinkT510: Not strictly true (they could be, for example, mono applications) but...20:52
BajKwhy is there no "Run as root" option in a file's context menu by default in Kubuntu?!20:52
pragmaticenigma[thor]: it would appear something was attempting to change your screen resolution just prior to crashing20:52
uboxVBoxLinuxAdditions.run20:52
DaraelBajK: Perhaps because people shouldn't be regularly running files as root?20:52
uboxThinkT510,  there is VBoxLinuxAdditions.run20:52
BajKDarael: and how should I then install something?20:52
ThinkT510ubox: that's the one, make sure you run it with sudo20:52
pragmaticenigma[thor]: were you trying to make something go full screen?20:52
DaraelBajK: Well, you could use the package manager?20:52
BajKvirtualbox addons require root to install them20:52
javahornStarminn:  for any .deb file (google talkplugin), what i should select, open with or save file?20:53
JoshDreamlandBajK: Open it in the software center, and it will prompt for auth20:53
BajKI am not talking about deb files or something20:53
BajKa .run file for example20:53
DaraelBajK: In that case, you should open a terminal and prefix the command with sudo.20:53
Starminnjavahorn: Just double-click it20:53
BajKDarael: and THIS is the stupid thing about it20:53
BajKwhy the hell do I always need a terminal..20:53
Starminnjavahorn: Oh, open with20:53
BajKI mean, in Windows it's as simple as "click on vbox install.exe and thats it"20:53
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: there is a recommendation to install the nvidia drive that is previous to the driver marked as recommended (there should be two of them in the list, an older one and the newer one20:53
BajKin ubuntu.. well "mount the CD first, then open a terminal, then cd /media/vbox blabla and then sudo ./vbox*.run"20:53
JoshDreamlandBajK: Which you got from where?20:53
Starminnjavahorn: Sorry, I thought you already downloaded it. Yeah, if you save it you'll have to open it with the Software Center anyway so just saying "Open With...." saves you some time20:53
BajKJoshDreamland: many proprietary software is shipped as .run20:54
tech-2that was it, thanks20:54
[thor]pragmaticenigma: nope.. i had just viewed the webpage, and grabbed the scrollbar.. and the screen flashed purple ( plymouth? ) and then the login dialog came up20:54
uboxThinkT510, do you you how to reference the cd media20:54
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: I don't see another one20:54
uboxis it just /media/vbox?20:54
DaraelBajK: You don't "always need a terminal" (though you do in this case).  You often get told to use one because it's faster to give a line to copy-paste than to give a guide through the GUI.20:54
BajKDarael: explain this to my mother…20:54
BajKI can do it20:54
JoshDreamlandBajK: Do yourself a favor and install nautilus-open-terminal20:54
BajKbut why should she even bother20:54
pragmaticenigma[thor]: I'm suspecting it's an isolated incident... Unless this is continually happening I wouldn't worry too much about it20:54
JoshDreamlandBajK: Why is your mother installing anything?20:55
uboxthere is autorun.sh there also20:55
BajKjust an example20:55
=== mike is now known as Guest76055
uboxwhat does this one do20:55
[thor]pragmaticenigma: at least i know where to look for clues next time. thanks for the help20:55
DaraelBajK: If your mother is using virtual machines, she is probably competent enough to deal with some copy-pasted terminal commands.20:55
BajKplease people, stop bothering about the WHY and WHEN and whatever. it is just stupid not to have a "run as root option" in the context menu, thats it20:55
ThinkT510ubox: go to where the .run file is in the filemanager then rightclick and select to open a terminal there, then issue the command to run the .run20:55
BajKand if youre not supposed to run a script as root you propably wont have the permissions to do so anyway20:55
JoshDreamlandMost of us think it's stupid -to- have one, BajK20:55
Guest76055hi20:55
rwwBajK: my mom installs things on Ubuntu just fine. Even /I/ don't install .run files, because that's silly.20:55
BajKrww: tell this google and nvidia, not me20:56
uboxok20:56
pragmaticenigma[thor]: no prob... it might have just been a system maintence script that just triggered the wrong response or modeprobe had a hiccup20:56
JoshDreamlandBajK: Google and Nvidia know how to throw DEBs together20:56
rwwBajK: Or don't use their crappy hardware that requires non-free drivers, which is what we do.20:56
DaraelGuest76055: Hi.  This is a support channel - if you have a question, ask away, but if you want to chat, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic.20:56
uboxThinkT510,  which command "run" ?20:56
kongquestion: so if i rsync something over the network to a samba share and rsync is is outputting chown errors, that just means rsync can chown it, but is still coping the files?20:57
ThinkT510ubox: sudo ./nameoffile.run20:57
skorHow do you display and choose a kernel to boot from the command line ?  I'm not finding it in the docs so far..20:57
pragmaticenigma!offtopic | JoshDreamland, BajK20:57
ubottuJoshDreamland, BajK: #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!20:57
skorI asked that earlier I know, but got side tracked and the buffer overflowed20:57
uboxthat worked20:57
BajKJoshDreamland and rww: rofl. typical linux users. and This is the reason Nobody EVER will Linux on a wide range because of stupid things like THIS.20:57
erUSULskor: press shift during boot if the grub menu does not show by itself20:57
Darael19:41:42 < erUSUL> skor: if the grub menu do not appear when you boot. press shift to force it to appear20:57
uboxThinkT510,  - that started the install why do i have to put ./??? I am newbee as you can tell20:57
erUSULDarael: tyvm20:57
uboxI was able to cd / then did cd media20:58
skorI'm working strictly from the CLI on a remote rack server.. I'm not going to "see" what your suggesting20:58
DaraelerUSUL: I try.  Sometimes I am not fast enough.20:58
skorwhat I want is to use the other kernel I installed20:58
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: Would you happen to know the version number of the recommended driver?20:58
Fjodorskor: Also, try google for "no grub menu at boot" and /etc/default/grub20:58
pragmaticenigmaubox: ./ tells the system you want to execute the program that follows20:58
ThinkT510ubox: ./ means it's executable (usually a binary or script)20:58
erUSULDarael: :P20:58
skorTrying to figure out the "Ubuntu way" rather than just editing the file20:58
rwwBajK: rofl. typical closed-source apologist. and This is the reason Nobody EVER will use open source on a wide range because of people buying hardware from non-free vendors like THIS.20:58
skorbut the docs are not clearly telling me how20:58
rwwoops, they left :\20:58
uboxgot it thanks :)20:58
Fjodorskor: I can't remember what I did to that file, if it was commenting something out or changing a value, bit it inhibits the new default of hiding the grub menu20:59
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: No, I would not know the recommended driver... I would personally be tempted to reinstall from scratch20:59
ThinkT510ubox: np20:59
erUSULskor: well editing the file and running "sudo update-grub" is the ubuntu way20:59
ThinkT510!yay | ubox20:59
ubottuubox: Glad you made it! :-)20:59
skorOh ok thanks.  Lol @ "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY"20:59
Fjodorskor: The Ubuntu way is, as erUSUL just said, to edit files in /etc/default :-)20:59
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: It's crossed my mind, but at the moment I'm being paid to occupy this chair and do not have a liveCD at my disposal.20:59
skoroh right, different file then.  Ok thanks I'll figure it out now21:00
uboxThinkT510,  still installing.  Just curious you said there is a terminal shortcut when you right lick a file?  I had to manually cd to media/ VBOX*21:00
erUSULskor: that's for /boot/grub/grub.cfg *not* /etc/default/grub21:00
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: Are you using an actual trackpad? or just the area below the keyboard?21:00
Daraelskor: Yeah, that's so that it doesn't get clobbered when the next update-grub runs (next kernel package upgrade, for example)21:00
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: Area below the keyboard21:00
skorAhh, ok I see21:01
Fjodorskor: No prob, but as erUSUL also said, in this case running sudo update-grub after editing is also necessary21:01
pragmaticenigmathat should have been recongnized as a mouse... just the sensitivity is set too high perhaps21:01
uboxThinkT510,  its done now but I dont see a greater resolution than 800x600 - any idea :)21:01
ThinkT510ubox: i'm used to using xubuntu which uses thunar as the filemanager, when you rightclick in any folder there is an option to open a terminal in that directory21:01
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: my other laptop has a "Trackpad" tab that allows me to set things like  tap-click and horizontal scrolling21:02
uboxinteresting21:02
JoshDreamlandI have no horizontal scroll, and I can't get rid of this god-awful tap-click21:02
brontoeeeubox, there is nautilus addon as well21:02
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: there should be a mouse setting control panel in the sytem => preferences menu to adjust those features21:03
uboxnautilus-open-terminal you mean?21:03
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: I kow. I21:03
JoshDreamlandGOD DANG IT21:03
brontoeeeubox, possibly21:03
Daraelubox: That's the bunny.21:03
JoshDreamlandpragmaticenigma: I know, the mouse setting is there, but I can't set any of those features because the mousepad tab is missing21:03
uboxnautilus-open-terminal is a proof-of-concept Nautilus extension21:03

pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: the real unfortunate situation here is the fact that Linux and Sony Laptops have a reputation for being like oil and water21:03

Sidi need some help21:04
Logan_WP!ask | Sid21:04
ubottuSid: 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. :-)21:04
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: If it thinks it's a standard mouse it's because it is default to that because it doesn't have the right driver for that device or the device identifies itself as only a simple mouse21:05

alex_like jdbc://somepath:prot21:06
alex_or soemthing like that.21:06
alex_port*21:06
Sidlet me take a look at that21:06
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: Doubtful... this is the unfortunate effect of cheep hardware... a lot of hardware manufactures rely on their software to enable features, and it's really hard to reverse engine software drivers21:06
Daraelalex_: Well, then, somepath sholud be localhost and port can probably be omitted due to it being the default.21:07
pragmaticenigmaOr in other words... The chip that controls the trackpad appears to everything as a standard mouse... it requires the special software driver from the manufacture to enable any additional features (like scrolling zones, etc)21:07
pragmaticenigmaJoshDreamland: It is possible that the particular trackpad on that laptop is too new and no one has developed a linux driver for it yet21:08

javahornStarminn: Thanks a lot. Now concern is for anti virus, suggest some good one, easy to install and have some good potency!!21:11
JoshDreamlandCan someone show me their Synaptics touchpad options? Someone with tap disabled and horizontal scroll enabled? Or can someone just give me those option names?21:11
Daraelalex_: Use the IP address or DNS address of the server instead of localhost... but I advise against opening a db server unless you've locked it down carefully.21:11
DaraelCataclysm: Better yet, we have an implementation.  Take a look at Mono.21:11

tim167hello, i get this error "Could not find QuickTime, please reinstall QuickTime 7 or later.", in processing (processing.org) how do i install that on ubuntu ?21:13
Daraelinsanity99: I think you may be in the wrong channel...21:14
tim167(install "quickitme 7 or later" i mean)21:14
insanity99well my machine can run it, technologically speaking21:14
brontoeeetim167, you dont21:14
FUMOSok I think I solved the secondary screen thing21:14
insanity99so ubuntu could be the problem?21:14
Daraeltim167: You don't; quicktime isn't made for Linux or for Ubuntu.21:15
tim167brontoeee: hmm, so what do i do then ?21:15
brontoeeetim167, isnt that java stuff?21:15
skorok.. grub_default.. now how to display menu entries from CLI21:15
tim167brontoeee: well, yes, processing is based on java21:15
Daraeltim167: You download the Linux package instead of the Windows one? (if you're installing, that is)21:16
Sidis fedora is different from ubuntu??21:16
Sidi never used fedora21:16
DaraelSid: Yes.  They're from very different families.21:16
Sidbut both are linux21:16
Sidbase21:16
Sid*based21:16
tim167Darael: the linux package of what ?21:16
DaraelSid: Correct.  However, Fedora is in the Red Hat family, whereas Ubuntu is in the Debian family.  The families have several architectural differences.21:17
Daraeltim167: If you're not trying to /install/ Processing, disregard my comment.  If you /are/, check the download page again.21:17
SidDarel: you mean inter face differnce?21:17
FjodorSid: Main difference would be package management21:18
michael__someone know how to get the buildin cardreader to work (dell e6510), running ubuntu 10.10 x6421:18
DaraelSid: There's those too, but more like, for example, the fact that the debian family uses APT repositories whereas the Red Hat family use RPM for package management.21:18
Sidok..21:19
Sidand which one is better?21:19
tim167Darael: no, processing is installed, but it complains about not finding Quicktime21:19
DaraelSid: There is no "better".  Except that this is an Ubuntu channel so we have to say Debian is better :P21:19
lahwrannm-applet is using 40% of my ram across two processes again ..21:19
Sidohhh21:19
FjodorSid: That's a matter of personal preference and the situation at hand, but most in here would probably have a preference for the debian family ;-)21:19
Sidi'm using windows and ubuntu side by side....can i use fedora in the same way?21:19
DaraelSid: Indeed you can.21:20
FjodorSid: Sure21:20
Sidthat is also free ?21:20
DaraelSid: Fedora is, yes.21:20
Sidokay thanks21:20
lahwranSid: debian is better than ubuntu for some purposes, ubuntu better then debian for others, other distros better than both for yet other things21:20

Sidwell i guess i should switch to brodband21:35

uboxDarael, its less in ubuntu21:36
matt_http://paste.ubuntu.com/573215/21:36
DaraelSid: The bit after the . was the command to use in a terminal to install it.  Alternatively, use the Software Centre.21:36
Daraelubox: Then I am not sure, but if any start with a . or end with a ~ they'll be hidden by Nautilus, maybe that's it?21:36

ThinkT510ubox: are you trying to install the wireless adapter in ubuntu virtualbox guest?21:36
Laibschhttp://paste.debian.net/109058/ How can that be?  It seems to me the math does not add up, there should be at least another 7G free for that partition.  Where is it?21:36
uboxDarael,  its not even the same names21:36
[thor]Sid: breaking the command down --> sudo ( SuperUserDo ) apt-get install ( poll the software repository for a package and install it ) vlc ( specifying vlc as the package to install )21:37

uboxwhen I do ls it gives me: vistax64  vistax86  win98  winme  winx64  winxp2k21:37
DaraelLaibsch: Without looking, if it's quite a large partition it will be that a percantage of the space is reserved for the use of root.21:37
[thor]Sid: that command will install VLC, and then you will be able to access it via the terminal ( vlc at the command line ) or via the menu system ( Applications > Sound & Video > VLC )21:38
itaylor57skullboy: bash is the default in ubuntu21:38
ThinkT510ubox: if ubuntu is a virtualbox guest and you're using win7 as a host you don't need to install wireless drivers21:38

erUSULskullboy: what are you trying to do ?21:44

matt_darael: so im supposed to just follow a guide with no idea of the implications as to what it will do to the raid that i already have running?21:52
fanthomasActionParsnip: it's single user machine21:53
[thor]skullboy: there is no shell environment called "root shell"21:53
ThinkT510ugarit: you need to select a root partition to install ubuntu onto21:53
[thor]skullboy: it is a designation for a shell environment that has root access.. be it bash, zsh, csh, or others21:53
Daraelmatt_: Nope, don't follow the guide - see if you can work out what's going on in it!  I'm running out of ideas, you see - I'm no RAID expert.  Perhaps it would be best to ask someone else... [thor] seems to know what he's on about.21:53

arbitratorWhat passphrase does it want, then?22:54
erUSULarbitrator: the one you gave when you created the home dir. probably during install. i dunno if it asks for one becouse never used encripted home dir22:54

erUSULc0ldshadow: the people that makes the hardware does drivers for windows. the drivers for linux are made by voluntiers without help most of the time22:55
