[00:02] my dad, and i. cannot get google earth to work properly on their laptop, it wont open, wont download anything, u double click it, and nothing happens. he is running 10.10 aswell. i tried everything i could think of. G-Earth has a linux download as well, i dont understand what isnt working [00:02] Guest57451: on what version of ubuntu are you? [00:02] 10.10 [00:02] Jordan_U: Accident. Wrong place [00:03] ,ampelbein [00:03] http://pastebin.com/s87qwFZg [00:03] how do I get into a recovery mode? [00:03] Link is my hometown :( [00:04] tuzlo: There should be a grub entry when you reboot [00:04] tuzlo: hold Shift on boot, and pick second line in grub menu [00:04] Guest57451: Can you pastebin the output of: apt-cache policy scribus ? [00:05] Guest57451: can you pastebin the result of 'apt-cache policy scribus'? [00:05] how do i get that [00:05] ok. I will be back later, [00:05] just put it in terminal [00:05] ? [00:05] Guest57451: yes [00:05] tuzlo: you corrupted the sudoers file by using a standard text editor. To edit sudoers you need to use visudo [00:07] ampelbein, http://paste.ubuntu.com/572863/ [00:07] th0r: oh, so he do not know right command, and I send him to root shell... [00:07] Guest57451: you have a non-ubuntu source in your apt sources [00:08] what does that mean [00:08] a nonubuntu source [00:08] Guest57451: somewhere in /etc/apt/* you have added a debian repository [00:08] how do i solve this? [00:09] Guest57451: open update manager, go to settings and deactivate the non-ubuntu repositories [00:10] I downloaded the deb file for wicd, tried to install by usb sitick, and it told me it failed to download package files [00:10] so the ppas i installed are interfering with the installation? [00:11] So how do I install Wicd without an internet connection exactly? [00:11] sorry i dont quite understand [00:11] Cannibal, you got all the dependencies? [00:11] Guest57451: it's not a ppa, it's the debian repository of scribus. (http://debian.scribus.net/debian/ testing/main i386 Packages) [00:12] ahhhh [00:12] Cannibal: What problem are you having with network-manager? [00:13] i don't know how to figure out what the dependencies are. Also, I uninstalled network manager because I couldn't figure out how it worked. [00:13] Cannibal: 'apt-cache depends wicd' [00:15] ok im in update manager [00:16] i dont see where i that option is [00:16] anyone able to explain to me how to apply a patch? [00:16] sorry [00:16] Guest57451: on the lower left corner there should be "settings" [00:17] ok [00:17] opened [00:17] i deselect scribus? [00:17] Guest57451: yes [00:17] that's it [00:17] ok [00:17] Guest57451: now it asks to reload package information, accept that and you are done. [00:17] now i reinstall [00:18] Guest57451: yes [00:18] it hasnt asked me to reload [00:18] but i just reinstall package and it will be fine [00:18] jednak cztery koltlety to za duzo.. [00:19] hi, i got a problem with partion table Error: Invalid partition table on /dev/sda -- [00:19] wrong signature 0. [00:19] does anyone know why when my processor activity spikes (loading a program, picture on a website, etc.) my music skips? It happens with Youtube and several media players. [00:19] i can`t dele a partition table [00:19] with fdisk [00:20] wpierdol, lewatywa z kwasu solnego i do lochu! [00:20] the dependencies have depencencies. is there an easy way to figure out what i don't have but still need? [00:20] ok its installing [00:20] ok, i'm going crazy. Ubuntu sees my audio device, but there is no device that i seem to be able to give VLC that it will accept as sound. /dev/dsp and /dev/audio* are nowhere to be seen, and anything i seem to give in /dev/snd/pcm* doesn't seem to work, either. What do you do to capture video through your webcam? [00:20] it recommends i autoremove some pkgs [00:21] do i simple do audo apt-get sutoremove [00:21] or do inned to also type in the package name [00:21] *i need [00:21] inned [00:21] and thank you muchly [00:22] scribus installed [00:22] someone there who can help me with tor dns leaks? [00:22] does anyone know why when my processor activity spikes (loading a program, picture on a website, etc.) my music skips? It happens with Youtube and several media players. [00:22] how do i change color of the top of the compiz desktop cube? [00:23] Guest57451: you can just use 'apt-get autoremove' [00:23] autoremove just cleans up unused packages [00:23] ok all done [00:23] hey, question for everyone: how can i run two different window managers in a dual screen setup? DISPLAY=:1 xinit /usr/bin/windowmanager -- :1 & usually works for different window managers on diff virtual terminals, so maybe it is possible to just "map" Ctrl + Alt + F7/8/9/... to the external monitor? [00:23] how does it know they are unused [00:23] thanks for helping a noob [00:23] you must have deskhead [00:23] how do i change color of the top of the compiz desktop cube? [00:23] I want to start over. How do I install Wicd without an internet connection? [00:23] Guest57451: ;-) you are welcome! [00:24] hello, someone there who can help me with tor dns leaks? [00:24] Cannibal: you downloaded wicd from packages.ubuntu.com? [00:24] ichbinsnict, use torify [00:24] xtrac: Start CompizConfigSettingsManager (CCSM); if not installed, use Software Center or Synaptic to install it first [00:24] Yes. Done. by usb stick. [00:25] hello? [00:25] Cannibal: 'apt-cache depends wicd', get the packages listed there, too. [00:25] I have the manager [00:25] ichbinsnicht, for example ssh yourname@`torify ihatechina.com` [00:25] I was wondering where the option to change the color of the top of the desktopcube is [00:25] I should of asked that [00:25] Ok. [00:25] xtrac: Also, you may need to install the additional compiz plugins [00:25] Check Synaptic [00:26] i downloaded ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix&try to install on a fujitsu amilo pro v2035 512mb ram 60gb 1.6ghz but doubt it will work is there a alternative version available to make this machine work properly [00:26] but I have them installed [00:26] all that I should need anyway [00:26] xtrac: then enable "Cube Reflection and Deformation: [00:26] " [00:26] does anyone know why when my processor activity spikes (loading a program, picture on a website, etc.) my music skips? It happens with Youtube and several media players. [00:26] xtrac: Cube Reflection and Deformation [00:26] tor has a built in function...i want to use that [00:26] steven__, nobody knows, that's why no one answered you the first time [00:26] How do I open the File Manager as a root user? I try to check the box on the share settings that enables "guest connections", and I can not check the box because it is greyed out. Help? [00:26] hmm I may have to install that [00:26] xtrac: Cube caps tab, top/bottom color pickers [00:27] rannick if you dont like the fact im asking a question you can leave [00:27] i found a manual that says you must enter DNSListenAddress 127.0.0.1 and DNSPort 1053 to the torrc [00:27] ichbinsnicht, what do you mean? [00:27] then you have to install resolvconf [00:27] steven__, i'm sorry, i just meant that you jsut posted that a minute ago... === imp___ is now known as imp_ [00:28] then you have to enter nameserver 127.0.0.1 in the resolv.conf [00:28] Lumenary, [00:28] ok ill try and find it [00:28] i have done that [00:28] How can I verify that samba is running? [00:28] How can I verify that samba is not corrupt? [00:28] but now, when i start tor, it says could not bind to 127.0.0.1:53: permission denied [00:29] why is that? [00:29] MrMintanet, I thing the easiest way would be to press Alt+F2 and then type in "gksudo nautilus" [00:29] MrMintanet: open Terminal [00:29] any idea? [00:29] hello, any recomendations for a pdf editor? i ve got a copy of my cv in pdf format and lost the original document, id like to update it [00:29] type command "ps ax | grep smb | grep -v grep [press enter key] [00:30] if you get a result back, the SAMBA daemon is running [00:30] steven__: 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 enough [00:30] ok, no luck with getting onto some sort of recovery mode to fix sudo, when installing ubuntu or ubuntu server is there any way to have access to root? [00:30] Lumenary, I found the option but in a way different way [00:30] danielc@Swiss:~$ ps ax | grep smb | grep -v grep [00:30] 917 ? Ss 0:00 smbd -F [00:30] 1108 ? S 0:00 smbd -F [00:30] but thanks [00:31] MrMintanet: SAMBA is running [00:31] nothing happens when i enter this command [00:31] Ampbelin: I've used several other operating systems on the same machine and had no problems. Is there anyway to remedy it? [00:31] according to the process list [00:31] ichbinsnicht, 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] Lumenary, 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] I'm having the same problem installing the dependancies as I was installing wicd. [00:32] hi [00:32] steven__: what audio system, what hardware, what version of ubuntu? [00:32] ichbinsnicht, i immediately rescind my research paper talk, it was for an undergraduate class, so it wasnt a big deal [00:32] tuzlo: do you have the install cd [00:33] MrMintanet: I need more information... What kind of Linux machine is hosting the SAMBA shares? [00:33] Lumenary, 10.10 Desktop [00:33] Ubuntu Server, or plain Ubuntu? Or Kubuntu (KDE + Ubuntu) [00:33] OK [00:33] rannick: i don't want to use programs like torify to torify certain applications...i want all dns request forwarded to tor ... [00:33] 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 HDD [00:33] First thing is to make sure that you have shared your folders in Nautilus (file manager) [00:34] Lumenary, I have. They are def. shared and even allow users to modify file contents [00:34] ichbinsnicht, 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] is there away one can save settings in usb ubuntu live cd [00:34] i 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? [00:35] londonmet050, Yea, you install Ubuntu. :) [00:35] isn'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] MrMintanet: Right-click one of your shared folders and open the sharing properties [00:35] Ok [00:35] And let me know how it's setup [00:35] MrMintanet: Can I make a install on USB drive [00:35] steven_ you most likely would benefit with more RAM, but if it runs all right it's not that important [00:35] hey guys, noob question, how can I transfer a file from a USB drive to a folder? [00:36] make a folder, then right click, and choose "send to" ? [00:37] Right 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] londonmet050, Yes. [00:37] !usb | londonmet050 [00:37] londonmet050: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [00:37] MrMintanet: [00:37] drahx, " send to" from USB device folder of course [00:38] Lumenary, Yes... :) [00:38] MrMintanet: OK, next, open a terminal and issue the following command: [00:39] ichbinsnicht, 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/PreventingDnsLeaksInTor [00:39] sudo smbpasswd -a usernameofpersononwindowscomputer [00:39] Done [00:39] the FIRST password you will be asked for is your OWN ubuntu password [00:39] in 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 ubuntu [00:40] Lumenary, both usernames and passwords are the same on both machines. [00:40] then you will need to give the password of the user account to register in SAMBA (twice) [00:40] ichbinsnicht: Its not a command. It something you need to put into /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [00:40] I 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] Why 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] Lumenary, Still unaccessible.... :( [00:41] 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 problem [00:41] Lumenary, I will tackle this problem later. I am sure that I messed up samba somehow by installing GADMIN Tools [00:41] :( [00:41] does 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] It is possible [00:42] ok, done that...do i have to restart now? [00:42] A 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/ Synaptic [00:43] You may also want to install SWAT (Samba Web Admin Tool) === homie_ is now known as homiethesock [00:43] i will reboot now and see if it works .... brb [00:43] 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. [00:44] then pop open a Web browser, and go to http://localhost:901/ [00:44] thanks [00:44] Lumenary, I guess I'll just use a thumb drive for now! DOH! [00:44] Not sure that SWAT is compatible w/ Ubuntu's new Upstart boot-up system, though [00:44] May need to do some good research before diving in [00:45] Yea, I won't tinker with SWAT till I get SMB working right [00:45] Anyone else here have any idea if SWAT runs w/ Lucid on up? [00:46] MrMintanet: Google returned this: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/05/how-to-easily-manage-samba-with-swat-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ [00:46] I'm actually on 10.10 [00:46] MrMintanet: 10.10 would be similar [00:47] ;) [00:47] Thx again. G2G [00:47] They both use Upstart and both provide xinetd as an service initialization daemon [00:47] I'm having issues getting a new ubuntu installation to boot. my system setup is going to take a paragraph or two to describe though [00:48] so 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] Where 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] ok, 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] When 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" [00:49] so 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] deckard: Your SATA drive does not have a Master Boot Record [00:50] What you need to do is install your new Ubuntu on the SATA drive by booting into the LiveCD environment first [00:50] oops, i mean i inserted it in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf: ... not in resolv.conf [00:50] Lumenary - thats what i just did [00:50] and im booted back into the Live CD now [00:50] Then run the "Install Ubuntu" application from the icon on the LiveCD desktop. [00:50] yep, that's what I did [00:51] How do I install the dependency Wicd-daemon [00:51] Then 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 drive [00:51] do you know how I can make sure it's trying to boot off the right drive, since I have two SATA drives? [00:51] or is that even an issue? [00:52] do have to add # in front of the line? [00:52] Well, you have to point GRUB or LILO to the correct drive and partition containing the /boot filesystem (subdirectory) on your new ubuntu [00:53] ok [00:53] who is the person who helped me first....are you still there? [00:53] where..... [00:53] This thread may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [00:53] so 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] It is quite long and detailed, but likely contains the info you're looking fore [00:54] Well, here are a few tips: [00:54] ichbinsnicht, i think that was me, but the other guy was pretty awesome, too [00:55] One, 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 partition [00:55] i think i figured it out....one more reboot.....brb [00:56] Two, go into BIOS and check your settings, and make sure the SATA drive is higher than other hard disks in your boot order [00:56] Three, 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. [00:57] The kicker is that when you add/remove physical devices, hard disk addresses and partition references can change,. [00:57] so its best that you settle on a hardware configuration BEFORE installing ubuntu [00:58] okay, thanks for the tips. real quick: how can i make sure that grub is installed in the MBR? [00:58] when I installed ubuntu there was a dropdown for where to install grub [00:58] As a rule of thumb, your boot hard disk should always be plugged into the LOWEST possible SATA port [00:58] and i just chose the partition i put / on [00:58] Yes. That dropdown should contain an entry saying "MBR of Hard Disk" or "Master Boot Record" of "Hard Disk" or something like that. [00:59] Avoid any entries saying "partition" [00:59] ah [00:59] so that might have been my mistak [00:59] e [00:59] Oh, this is weird [00:59] In my BIOS, I always setup my boot settings like so: [00:59] Ubuntu plays sound on _both_ stereos and headset [01:00] At the same time [01:00] First Boot Device: USB Boot Device (in case I need to boot from a rescue USB key) [01:00] Second Boot Device: Optical (CD/DVD) Drive (so I can boot from the Ubuntu CD-ROM to install it) [01:01] Third Boot Device: Lowest port number hard drive (SATA or IDE, depending on age of computer) [01:01] Disable all other boot devices [01:01] Is 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] yeah 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 partition [01:01] If you try dragging it, volume goes quickly to the max [01:01] so if I put grub on that MBR, will it mess up windows? [01:02] deckard: Yes - Windows will not be bootable unless you add it to grub [01:02] Hey, wtf [01:02] but it will still be bootable once I add it to grub [01:02] Why I can't change the volume for other device when two devices are playing the music? [01:02] in other words, windows doesn't need anything in the MBR in order to be able to be booted from grub? [01:03] Conversely, 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 GRUB [01:03] cause 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 there [01:03] ahh.. i think i might like to try that first [01:03] What's going on? :/ [01:04] deckard: Yes, in theory, that would work, if the GRUB versions are the same. [01:04] GRUB1 and GRUB2 (1.9x on up) are quite different [01:04] unfortunately they're not, but I think i should be able to translate it [01:04] cause it seems to be the same info, just in a different format [01:04] And are manipulated in very different ways [01:04] hmm ok [01:04] thanks again for all the advice [01:05] Hey, what's going on. Why does ubuntu play sound from two devices? How can I stop this from happening? [01:05] what? [01:05] Or change the volumes of these devices? [01:06] deckard: Read up on GRUB2 (do a Google search on "GRUB2 Basics") [01:06] then check out /etc/grub.d of your new Ubuntu installation [01:07] I 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? [01:08] Jonii: Open Synaptic and install "pavucontrol" (if it is available) and see if that helps [01:08] What's pavucontrol? [01:08] Then check your Application Menu for "PulseAudio Volume Control" [01:09] (You may need to logout/login again for the Application Menu to pick up the change) [01:09] Ubuntu uses PulseAudio to control access to audio devices. [01:10] Multiple sources (programs playing music, or microphone inputs) can be routed to multiple sinks (outputs like speakers and headphones) [01:10] The PulseAudio Volume Control may help you to manage your audio devices === n0tix_ is now known as n0tix [01:11] As for the "volume control" bug, I need more information [01:11] What version are you running?> [01:11] ? [01:11] i am trying to install sysresuedisk on my usb pen drive, can someone tell me how i mount an iso image onto a usb pen?

[01:14] wow Flannel has super powers [01:14] magpiie, yes [01:14] Clicking the volume bar on the left side makes volume go down step to the left, clicking the volume bar on that moving thing(what's the word for it?) or to the right side makes volume go up [01:15] IdleOne: just got k-lined [01:15] go to 3d box and select the edge flip, or edge move option [01:15] sorry, its in the rotate cube settings [01:15] magpiie, I don't have 3D box enabled [01:15] jrib: yeah I know, it was the timing of the op and kline that impressed me :) [01:16] I just want to move windows between workspaces on the gnome panel [01:16] IdleOne: I mean 99.250.45.64 was just k-lined [01:16] You may want to use synaptic to completely remove (mark for complete removel) and reinstall "indicator-applets" [01:16] you silly boys [01:16] then reboot [01:16] jrib: it's not always bad to set redundant bans, as our klines may expire a bit sooner than bans do [01:17] magpiie, any idea? :( [01:17] xrdodrx: do you have the workspaces showing in your bottom panel? [01:17] The operative words being "complete remove" and "reinstall" [01:17] gaelfx, yes [01:17] but can't drag windows between them [01:17] xrdodrx: you should see a small gray box that represents the window in one of the workspaces, you can drag it to another one to move the app to that screen [01:17] mm, not sure then, i am new to ubuntu and have been playing with compiz for a couple of days, i was trying to stop cursor from flipping to next desktop when touching screen edge, i found it in compiz>settings>rotate cube and uncheck the box [01:18] gaelfx, right, that's what happened in old versions of ubuntu [01:18] xrdodrx: how about using ctl+shift+alt+ while the window is in focus? [01:18] that works [01:18] i have edge flip move checked so it allows me to move windows onto another screen [01:19] guess that'll be all I can do? :< [01:19] xrdodrx: hmm, ok, gimme a sec to test something [01:19] ok [01:20] xrdodrx: that's very strange, because it works on my computer (dragging I mean) [01:20] xrdodrx: were you ever able to drag them across workspaces? [01:20] gaelfx, not since I formatted and installed 10.10 [01:20] I got a problem. Every time I reboot, I lose all of my IPTables settings. Is something wrong? [01:21] VBox, for 3D rendering... Really? [01:21] Lol [01:21] Scrap that... Wrong window... === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [01:21] xrdodrx: just to be sure, this isn't netbook edition or anything like that, is it? [01:21] gaelfx, no, desktop edition [01:22] Cool [01:22] Music stopped altogether [01:22] 'lo all. I've got a question... is there an effective way to change from Ubuntu desktop edition to Ubuntu server from terminal? [01:22] mnaines: do you use a script to load it? [01:23] xrdodrx: try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1522854 [01:23] Nach0z: why do you want to? [01:23] drexl_, no, I usually go through the shell and type in the commands manually [01:24] I use rc.local iptables-restore < /etc/firewall.conf [01:24] Nach0z: hmm, not completely it takes a lot of time to find and uninstall all packages to match the server edition [01:24] when i right-click on a link in gnome-terminal it says "Could not open the address "http://i.imgur.com/Myqsn.jpg" Operation not supported". Any ideas? [01:24] !iptables | mnaines [01:24] mnaines: 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] jrib: 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 need [01:25] mnaines: 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 repositories [01:25] gaelfx, that didn't fix it :< [01:25] I'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] mnaines: you'll need an iptables configuration file, and then load it with rc.local [01:25] !purekde | Nach0z [01:25] Nach0z: If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [01:25] by issues I mean that linux devices get horrible ping times [01:25] hello, i installed an apache server on my ubuntu and i am wondering what i need to do in iptables to ensure its still secure [01:25] xrdodrx: ok, then hang on again [01:25] thanks jri [01:25] *jrib [01:25] i have firestarter installed and i have it to start on system bootup, but, it never does, how can i resolve this? [01:26] Nach0z: 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] gaelfx, alright...it's very frustrating as I just go to move windows automatically if you know what I mean lol [01:26] magpiie: why would you want firestarter to start on boot? [01:26] because i keep forgetting to start it when i open my browser [01:27] magpiie: well why do you want to start it at all? Firestarter is just for editing rules, your firewall is still up. [01:27] !iptables > eoss [01:27] eoss, please see my private message [01:28] thats all i needed to know lol, i was thinking it wasnt working properly [01:28] thanks [01:28] :< [01:28] ok ty [01:29] There doesn't seem to be any way whatsoever to a) fix volume bar, and b) to make ubuntu figure out that I wanna play music from only one of the two connected devices [01:29] how to enable effects?

[01:30] i have a quick question for anyone that can help [01:30] sinnis: I just use nvidia-settings, but I have an nvidia card. [01:31] xrdodrx: um, I don't think so, but it might not be a bad idea [01:31] anyone? [01:31] jsurfer: just "DISPLAY=:0.1 xinit /usr/bin/windowmanager -- :0.1 &" does not seem to work for me [01:31] jrib: just "DISPLAY=:0.1 xinit /usr/bin/windowmanager -- :0.1 &" does not seem to work for me [01:31] harasho: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [01:31] got it thanks@ [01:31] !* [01:31] gaelfx, sorry, but how would I be able to reinstall it without gnome-panel lol? [01:31] I am trying to find the build number to my Ubuntu. i know it is version 7.04 [01:32] !7.04 | harasho [01:32] harasho: Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) was the sixth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 19th, 2008. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. [01:32] jrib: i can't use nvidia settings, but basically it should be possible to tell X to start the new X server on 0.1 instead of VT8 - am i wrong? [01:33] xrdodrx: use synaptic, mark package for reinstallation [01:33] sinnis: wouldn't :0 refer to the first server? [01:33] hey jrib, this removing ubuntu-desktop thing, that just leaves the things that are necessary to run Ubuntu from terminal as a normal webserver? or do I need to install extra packages later? [01:34] xrdodrx: gnome-panel is just for the bars at the top and bottom of your desktop [01:34] jrib: do you know how to find it? [01:34] gaelfx, ok. I'll try it [01:34] Nach0z: it will only remove gui things (gnome) [01:34] harasho: find *what*? [01:34] ok. thanks. [01:34] xrdodrx: reinstalling gdm is where you really need to be careful [01:34] whats the format of the time column for the ps command? ive been running a job for over 12 hours and it says 1:07 [01:34] jrib: sorry, the build number to my ubuntu 7.04 [01:34] harasho: "build number" means nothing to me [01:34] gaelfx, ah, yeah xD [01:34] jrib: yeah, right, but even :1 just starts the new X server on another VT and not on the physical monitor...i'm going crazy!

[01:36] jrib: it tells me to put some code into the terminal and it says " the value x.x.x-xxxxx is the build number of the product release." [01:36] How do you remove a program and all of it preferences? [01:37] xrdodrx: killall won't do much for services that are running, you could try to restart it with "sudo /etc/init.d/gnome-panel restart" but I don't think that'll help [01:37] harasho: forget about vmware, 7.04 is too old. You need to upgrade that to a supported version of ubuntu first. Then you can worry about vmware (/msg ubottu !Vmware) [01:37] EmuAlert: sudo apt-get remove --purge && sudo apt-get autoremove [01:37] EmuAlert: apt-get purge PROGRAM and delete its preferences from your home I guess [01:38] gaelfx, sudo /etc/init.d/gnome-panel restart [01:38] err [01:38] Does anyone know if this sort of behavior is a feature or a bug?

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? [01:38] THanks [01:38] shcherbak, it didn't work even at the defaults :| [01:38] harasho: too old, download 10.04 or 10.10 [01:38] ok it says 1:08.40 now and it appears the .40 is seconds [01:39] xrdodrx: oops [01:39] xrdodrx: or Alt-F2 and gnome-panel --replace [01:39] Good day everyone, im trying to change the keyboard layout using "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" but this doesnt work for me, even with a reboot after [01:39] is there a way to see the realtime amount of time a process has been running, instead of how much cpu time it has used? [01:39] kriss_: what ubuntu version? [01:39] Anyone know how to change the keyboard layout in ubuntu 10.10 console ? [01:40] xrdodrx: well, if it didn't work out of the box, then restarting any service wouldn't help I'm betting [01:40] xrdodrx: did you try it in livecd/usb? did it work then? [01:40] gaelfx, this is a wubi install [01:41] kriss_: hmm, have you run « update-initramfs -u » ? [01:41] xrdodrx: can you try the liveusb/cd? [01:41] xrdodrx: wubi isn't really known for how great it is at installing ubuntu [01:42] gaelfx, not at the moment, but I could try it some time... [01:42] no, let me try that [01:42] Hey I have a weird graphics problem, details at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10499422#post10499422 [01:42] xrdodrx: you should probably do that, and stick with the ctl+alt+shift+arrow thing until you can try the live version [01:42] is there an X window system (dev) irc channel? [01:42] the laptop is in front of me so I can try stuff, but it takes time; the dv6000 overheats and needs a rest between reboots [01:43] gaelfx, alright, thanks for the shortcut :D now if I accidentaly start a program on one WS I can at least move it lol [01:43] xrdodrx: right on, have fun! [01:43] sinnis, #xorg [01:44] hmm, now the keyboard layout is going crazy [01:45] xrdodrx: thx [01:46] i tried it now jrib, without success [01:47] hey guys i'm trying to rip a bluray using ddrescue [01:47] kriss_: nothing changed? [01:47] any ideas how to most successfully do this?

[01:48] when i presset something, something odd came [01:48] like when having numlock disabled [01:48] I have a question... how is 8.04 LTS "Intrepid" considered "supported" when there are no packages for it on archive.ubuntu.com, and mirrors are almost impossible to find? [01:48] and using the numpad [01:48] I must be doing something wrong right?

[02:06] Cannibal: for your scenario hostname and workgroup are sufficcient [02:06] It says to add this: [02:06] netbios name = name_of_your_server (no spaces) === geek is now known as Guest51957 [02:07] Cannibal: hostname in terminal shows it [02:07] xrdodrx: fsn, per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manager#3D_file_managers [02:07] aristotle2600: it might be nvidia or ati or intel [02:07] Ah hah [02:07] rww, you sure it's not fsv? [02:07] As I suspected, thx. I'll keep reading. [02:07] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FSV-OSX-screenshot.png [02:08] Cannibal: that sets the SMB name that you see when you browser for computers on the network [02:08] xrdodrx: fsv is a clone of fsn. [02:08] xrdodrx, fsv is one of them yes [02:08] oh ok [02:08] aristotle2600: if you now have a file maybe move it with a usb flash disk [02:08] thanks, gonna see if I can make it work :) [02:08] xrdodrx, there are i believe 2 others I think it was fsv used in jurassic park [02:08] Cannibal: 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) [02:09] xrdodrx, google fsv like applications [02:09] it says nvidia on the sticker, sacarlson huh, didnt think that recovery mode would have usb support, not sure how to try it === c is now known as Guest24252 [02:09] Oh, so that step isn't even that important? [02:10] aristotle2600: you don't need recovery mode all you need is +f2 to get you out of xserver then all else should still work [02:11] sacarlson: for display UNCLAIMED it says the desc is a VGA ctrler, C67 GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M [02:11] sacarlson: nope, when i boot into uibuntu all the virtual consoles show the same symptoms [02:11] sacarlson: they are unreadable [02:12] aristotle2600: then install the nvidia propriatary drivers http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=743299 [02:12] Anybody have any suggestions? [02:13] Quick dumb question: I'm trying to run a program "$ ./program" but it keeps responding with "No such file or directory" when it's very obviously not true. [02:13] Techie-Micheal, I didnt see your post sorry would you mind repeating? I may not be able to help but still [02:13] coz_: np. Sure. [02:13] Hi. 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. [02:13] aristotle2600: oh even +f2 is distorted did this thing ever work with any system? [02:14] rynosaur: Are you on a 64 bit system trying to run a 32 bit program? [02:14] rynosaur: missed the path ? [02:14] rynosaur: re-check by ls or locate [02:14] Ah. I am on 64bit. [02:14] ubuntu should start sellling ubuntu in store for the cost of the cd and package materials [02:14] That's probably it. thanks! [02:14] rynosaur: and give it executable permissin, too [02:14] that would be leet [02:14] Techie-Micheal, when you do "update-alternatives --config python" are there options given? [02:15] rynosaur: That "file not found" is a poorly phrased error message from needed 32 bit libraries not being found. [02:15] hey, 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] Hello [02:15] you know ubuntu needs to start selling an os [02:15] i dont think there is any law against packaging and selling ubuntu yourself [02:15] coz_: There weren't at first. I did update-alternatives --install python /usr/bin/python2.7 10 [02:15] xtrac, that was tried with impi [02:15] obviously non profit [02:16] sacarlson: it used to have vista and then win7 [02:16] After 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] Techie-Micheal, mmm I am not an expert in this but google with "ubuntu set default python" gave a few hits that may help [02:16] aristotle2600: I found this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/597476 [02:16] Ubuntu bug 597476 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) "nVidia C67 GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M uses an unusable resolution by default" [Undecided,Confirmed] [02:16] DasEi, Jordan_U: Hmm maybe not. The program I'm running says it requires "Linux Kernel 2.6.* x86_64" [02:17] coz_: yeah, that's what I've been going off of. :) But so far no luck, so I came in here. Thanks. I'll keep trying. [02:17] anyone else having problems updating repository? [02:17] rynosaur: so it's "found now", which prog you try to run ? [02:17] Techie-Micheal, if no one here can help try the ##linux channel :) [02:17] anyone know why I'm not able to update? I've posted the pastebin with the error I get. [02:18] DasEi: http://www.mc-server.org/ === biella is now known as bielal [02:18] not trying to be rude, btw. === bielal is now known as biella [02:18] DasEi: And it's not found. I just figured it was 32bit [02:18] Guest51957, could I see the pastebin link? [02:18] magpiie: no, tried fastest mirror (synaptic) ? [02:18] Did you check your network connection before doing update? [02:19] where can i find that? [02:19] Hey guys [02:19] my network seems fine, i can browse ok [02:19] rynosaur: lil' confusing: you said you are on 64 bit, and the prog once called tells 64 bit needed [02:20] What are the packages I need to install for the defaults fonts for ubuntu 10.04? [02:20] Too check the presence of proxy [02:20] magpiie: call up synaptic, it's under the paketmangement there, choose server > other > fastest mirror [02:20] 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] sacarlson: thanks, that might be the very bug im experiencing. is there any way to fix it from the command line? [02:21] my 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] DasEi: 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] How 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] Sorry for repeating the question, but, what package do I need to install for the default fonts? [02:21] JeffCBR: why? [02:22] i want to see my laptop system thermal state, which program make it this? [02:22] Jrib, probably for something like Airplane mode.

[02:22] Do you use synaptics or aptitude or apt-get ? [02:23] jrib: network-manager prevents me from connecting to my network because of its interaction with wpa_supplicant. I don't need it. How can I disable it? [02:23] pajero: Gkrellm if you like it. [02:23] rynosaur: so try again from the beginning, I never used that app: [02:23] JeffCBR: uninstall it [02:23] thanks c_ [02:23] rynosaur: make a dir for it, cd there, then : [02:23] how do I register my nick with the nickserv?

[02:25] Any advice? [02:25] rynosaur: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) [02:25] JeffCBR: the reason your update-rc.d command did not work is because network-manager is started through as an upstart job (/etc/init/network-manager.conf). You can add "never" as a starting condition there [02:26] when i try reloading the repository i get this message > Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [02:26] jrib: That works for me.

However, doing the same on my girlfriends machine somehow lead to her network manager no longer playing nice with wireless [02:26] help?

I HAVE done some digging, and found that some routers refer to the internal DHCP as the router's internal IP, which I've found to be true in this router through resolv.conf [02:34] magpiie_: did you make any changes prior to this?

[02:42] it's unnecessary to use sudo [02:43] c_ well, I'm getting a lot of "permission denied"s on the command. [02:43] geek0292: according to `http://www.bloke.com/linux/kernel/network.html', the ECN is open in your kernel. === pal is now known as BigPL [02:44] geek0292: but on my laptop, it has the same value as you have.

[02:45] c_ I take it that this means that it's turned off? [02:46] geek0292: maybe I use virtualbox or some other application which let the tcp_ecn turned on. [02:46] well, I have traced the IP in my resolv.conf file to the router i'm using. [02:46] It's a boolean value, and if you set it to zero, you close that kernel option. [02:47] I'll pastebin the contents of my resolv.conf file [02:48] geek0292: at the beginning of the URL I sent to you, you can use the command line to disable ecn option(and you need sudo that commadline).

Can you open the repo by webbrowser(Firefox)? [02:52] what's the url? [02:53] `http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/' [02:53] I can get on there.

[02:54] let me check [02:54] geek0292: Or the proxy settings in Synaptic. [02:56] Okay, how do I check the proxy setting in gnome?

[03:08] currently as I'm with relatives. [03:08] pw-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.

Go look at it [03:09] [TK]D-Fender, disk utility says that the state is degraded but it doesnt tell me which drive actually is connected to the drive [03:10] [TK]D-Fender, i did a mdadm --assemble --scan and it didnt work... he didnt find any raid drives although disk utlility found it [03:10] [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 data [03:10] so, what can I do about this? I'd be okay with just editing my resolv.conf file if I knew how and to what [03:11] because it's worked here in the past. [03:11] 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 ? [03:12] yeah, and what a good IP for the file [03:12] if possible. [03:12] yours? [03:13] 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 servers [03:13] how do I gain control of "file system" [03:13] btw, I use the same ISP at home, so I bet this could be their router.

If I know exactly what to type I can boot into ubuntu and go to a virtual console [03:15] zero80472: if you need it that bad, then dual boot [03:15] I'll get right on that sacarlson [03:15] lol [03:16] aristotle2600: well if it was networked I would tell you to ssh in and change it from something that you could read [03:16] is there a way to remove the password (for installing apps) / [03:16] ? [03:17] no [03:17] So, 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? [03:18] zero80472: you can add nopassword to sudo [03:18] and the google thing turns me back to the original problem of updating where I can't resolve. [03:18] sacarlson: 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.conf [03:18] ? [03:18] can someone plz tell me [03:18] hi [03:19] how do i copy all subdirectory files to one parent directory? [03:19] aristotle2600: well xorg.conf is only used for xserver the console won't change even if you modify that [03:19] leapy0yo: cp -R * ../ [03:19] *sigh* guess I'll just wait to get home.... but it's gonna be frustrating with mail.....

[03:20] leapy0yo: that works if the parent directory is the directory prior to the one you are presently in [03:20] leapy0yo: the format is cp -R (recursive) (copy FROM) (copy TO) [03:20] geek0292: have you used the nslookup command to verify the hostname lookup? [03:20] sacarlson: is there some other config file? surely, the information in the gui panel is recorded somewhere? [03:20] zero80472, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-password-prompts-in-ubuntu.html [03:21] zero80472, Note:- Disabling password prompts might be a security risk [03:21] aristotle2600: before xserver the only changes I know are made at the kernel options at boot [03:21] sudo su [03:21] oh damn wrong keyboard :D [03:21] 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. [03:22] lazy, they are two subdirectories ...i have lots of directories like that and i want them to the main parent directory [03:22] can someone plz tell me? [03:22] oops [03:22] :-o [03:22] sacarlson, do you use a router ? [03:22] aristotle2600: 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 card [03:22] zero80472, do you really need a help? [03:22] sacarlson, have you tryed adding the DNS settings there ? [03:22] lazypower, they are two subdirectories ...i have lots of directories like that and i want them to the main parent directory [03:23] of course, dunno how to make sense of it, but the server IP matches the resolv.conf file I had up. [03:23] AbhijiT, i just want to know how to remove password form linux so i dont have to keep typing on a doggy keybord [03:23] zero80472, and as i guess you did not see my links above i posted for you? right? [03:23] good i am not going to post it again [03:23] you scroll up [03:24] cant see much with x-chat can u PM me them please [03:24] no [03:24] zero80472: yes I use a router and yes I have [03:25] geek0292: you mean nslookup reports that the repo servers' ip is 192.168.x.x ? [03:25] zero80472: but most the time I disable dhcp from my router and run it from my server box the distibutes ip's [03:25] yes [03:25] hello folks. 10M files. How to go about these in an mechanical drive? Zipping for example. What do you suggest? Ext4. [03:25] thanks AbhijiT dint see (lol) [03:25] wait, repo? no, I checked google. [03:25] hi, I'm trying to search contents in pdf files. Can anyone suggest me a good way to search a set of pdf files? Grep doesn't return all the results. [03:25] I 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] :-/ [03:25] Anyone has any idea how to fix this? [03:26] zero80472, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-password-prompts-in-ubuntu.html [03:26] zero80472, Note:- Disabling password prompts might be a security risk [03:26] zero80472, see now? [03:26] the server http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/ has 192.168.x.x [03:26] AbhijiT: why is it a security risk? [03:27] O_o [03:27] is there a way to copy the files of two subdirectories down to the grand parent directory or main directory? [03:27] MariaKeys, why is it a serucity risk not having a strong lock to your home>? [03:27] :D === muellisoft is now known as Muelli [03:27] leapy0yo: man cp [03:27] AbhijiT: It is about convenience. When my home is an open hut, it doesnt matter. [03:27] is the server address for that normal? [03:28] Abhijit: I have lock or not. [03:28] hmmm then its time for you to learn about how to secure your home and computer. MariaKeys [03:28] :-s [03:28] hi [03:28] lazypower, maindirectory / samename/samename lots are like that and it complains that the grand subdirectory is the same as its parent [03:28] Abhijit: Do you know the story of 3 monkeys? [03:28] MariaKeys: don't you still keep your atm card without your pin number writen on it in your hut? [03:29] MariaKeys, one of them is you thats what i know [03:29] backup [03:29] Abhijit: Let me tell you the story of 3 monkeys... [03:29] sacarlson: damn; that was a really good idea, but i just tried it and the monitor is getting no signal [03:29] They put 3 monkeys in a cage... And put a banana on top. [03:29] MariaKeys, no this is not offtopic channel. offtopic discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:29] aristotle2600: you have to reboot most laptops to get the monitor to be seen [03:30] Every 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] anyone know how to get gstreamer-based players to play tracks other than the first one for nsf files? [03:30] aaaah [03:30] c_ the server address I get for http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/ is 192.168.x.x is this normal? [03:30] After a while, monkeys learn the trick, and they no longer reach to the banana. [03:30] MariaKeys, in #ubuntu-offtopic and not here [03:30] AbhijiT: It is not off topic. It is related to security that you were discussing. [03:30] sacarlson: 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 it [03:30] MariaKeys, this is not security channel either! [03:30] anyone know of a decent wireless n router with a usb port? [03:31] FINISH THE STORY [03:31] aristotle2600: also there may be a function something botton to activate the monitor on some systems [03:31] teratorn, lol :-D [03:31] So one day... They bring in a new monkey to the cage... [03:31] and he beats the other monkeys? [03:31] The new monkey looks around... He goes for the banana. [03:31] hello [03:31] As soon as he goes for the banana, all 3 other monkeys start beating him. === aaron is now known as Guest2476 [03:32] MariaKeys: Do you have blog? [03:32] yay [03:32] how is everyone [03:32] 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? [03:33] pw-toxic_: iotop? [03:33] helloooooozzz [03:33] hello? [03:33] shcherbak, what do you mean? [03:33] pw-toxic_: I havn't tried it but did you look in System>administration>disk utility ? [03:33] how do i use find to cp everything it finds to a new location? [03:33] sacarlson, yes i have tried it.. i cant find the information there [03:34] Moral 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] hi, 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! [03:35] kasun: Why can't you use pdftotext? [03:35] 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 degraded [03:35] pw-toxic_: iotop will show i/o activity, just not sure is it going to help you, well I guess it might.. [03:35] MariaKeys: 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 scripts [03:35] anyone know how to get gstreamer-based players to play tracks other than the first one for nsf? [03:35] *channel [03:35] c_ have you got my messages? [03:35] aeon-ltd: gimme a second, i will be back for you to check. [03:36] pw-toxic_: otherwise, test it from live system (speed of write and read) [03:36] Jordan_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] aeon-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] aeon: did you check it for bruteforcing? [03:36] Jordan_U, It'll be easier if there's a easier way for it. [03:36] kasun: I would just use find and pdftotext/ [03:37] Ok 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] geek0292: sorry, i left for a few minutes. [03:37] MariaKeys: Do you use Ubuntu for 15 years? [03:37] MariaKeys: 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 minutes [03:37] shcherbak, good question! [03:37] scherbak: I never used ubuntu. We use Slack/RHEL. [03:37] ok, well, is the server address for the repo "192.168.x.x" the actual server? [03:38] rhel-ewww [03:38] leapy0yo: -exec cp -- {} /some/directory/ \; [03:38] because it perfectly matches the router here. [03:38] MariaKeys, 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? [03:39] MariaKeys: 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] aeon-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] geek0292: the address 192.168.x.x is lan address, it sould never be assigned to hosts on internet. [03:39] MariaKeys: wasn't here for story time.... [03:39] hmmmm, well looks like that's the problem with the update manager, huh? [03:40] Anyways, back to my issue. Anyone has experience with ext4 and 10 million files on a mechanical drive? [03:40] hi how can i make gdm execute this, export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge [03:40] MariaKeys: anyway, can I follow you on tweeter? [03:40] I think it's DNS problem. [03:40] MariaKeys: the problem being? [03:40] hmmm, so how should I go about fixing this? [03:40] shcherbak: Which twitter? [03:40] the router ip address is 192.168.2.1 ? [03:41] pw-toxic_: I just brought up my virtualbox system that has a raid5 simulated and I see I can breakdown and setup and check raid in disk utiliyt [03:41] yep [03:41] anyone know how to get gstreamer-based players to play tracks other than the first one for nsf? [03:41] MariaKeys: nvm (you just talkative), what files? [03:41] and that's the exact same IP i got for the repo, [03:41] scherbak: It doesnt matter what files. Have you tried dealing with 10M files on a mechanical drive? [03:41] AND google [03:41] 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 me [03:42] You need a network cable to login in the router (if appliable) to see the status of the internet connection. [03:42] WHOOHOOOO running Pyrit with 14 cpu cores across the internetz [03:42] Sorry [03:42] sacarlson: holy shit it works....the virtual terminals and gui show up perfectly on the monitor after reboot! [03:42] well, I'll ask my mom if I can check that. [03:42] fix: to do what? To get a WPA pass that will take 20 years? [03:42] You should check the dns settings on router [03:42] MariaKeys: besides stress testers, and excessive users who would? but whats the problem with 10m on a hdd? [03:42] aristotle2600: cool now just install the propriatary [03:42] actually no, it wont take 20 years [03:42] hi i have nvidia driver version 96 ubuntu 10.10 recently my video play back is wayyyyy so and choppy [03:42] apparently your a bit behind the times [03:43] slow*\ [03:43] check out pyrit [03:43] fix: I am not behind the times. I have not seen a single person break a WPA password. Good luck! [03:43] there isnt a WPA2 key I havent cracked [03:43] Jordan_U, got it working. thnks [03:43] sacarlson: right; well im going to try just changing the resolutions in accordance with that bug report you showed me, as soon as i find the password...... [03:43] pw-toxic_: I'm not sure I have a raid1 simulated it might be different [03:43] MariaKeys: 10M, no. [03:43] MariaKeys, you're wrong [03:43] I call bullshit on fix ss or it didn't happen [03:43] my raid5 is ok [03:43] Does the router have any host blacklist or time access control? [03:43] my raid1 is making problems [03:43] LOL!!!! [03:43] WPA can be brute forced [03:43] aeod-ltd: 10 million files take about 8 days to copy from one drive to another. That is the problem. [03:43] yeah u keep thinking wpa2 is going to protect you [03:43] WPA-PSK that is [03:44] I crack them all the time [03:44] any reason why videos would suddenly start being slow and choppy, i tried .mp4 .mov etc [03:44] WPA-psk WPA2 EAPOL [03:44] whatever [03:44] MariaKeys: for future reference use tab [03:44] pw-toxic_: but seems that's what check repair should do is tell you what is broken and fix it if needed [03:44] fix: In your dreams you crack WPA. [03:44] its all easily cracked [03:44] !tab | MariaKeys [03:44] MariaKeys: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:44] ok [03:44] your an idiot [03:44] mariakeys [03:44] <[TK]D-Fender> MariaKeys: http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/06/wpa-cracked-in-15-minutes-or-less-or-your-next-routers-free/ [03:44] fix: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:44] go kill yourself [03:44] fix: That's enough. [03:44] sacarlson, check repair? should the be a button in this tool?= [03:44] fix: ! [03:44] MariaKeys: its true, despite fix's obnoxiousness [03:44] this person just called me an idiot and a lier [03:44] Fender: This is all theory. Nobody cracked WPA. [03:44] geek0292: normally, you need a network cable to connect your machine and the router so that you can get the router login page by webbrowser. [03:44] how do you expect me to react [03:45] <[TK]D-Fender> MariaKeys: Google instantly turns up a shitload on WPA being crackable with relative easy [03:45] fix: Civilly. [03:45] sacarlson, ah you mean "check array" i try this one [03:45] oh ok [03:45] fix: Telling someone to kill themselves is never apropriate. [03:45] heh, tuxtosterone is flowing thick as a London fog tonight [03:45] thanks for calling me a lier, your ignorant and think that WPA is not crackable, your a joke, do some research [03:45] MariaKeys, WPA with pre-shared keys is easily brute forced depending on the length and complexity of the keys [03:45] coz u apparently dont know what your talking about [03:45] ok again more monkey story. each monkey tells the others. Show me a person who broke a WPA key. With example on the net. [03:45] yeah thats Niss [03:45] sacarlson, nothing happens when i push this button [03:45] but at MOST, one week [03:45] thanks [03:45] yeah thanks Nisstyra [03:45] big difference between wpa-tkip and wpa2-aes [03:45] pw-toxic_: mine is running repair as we speak [03:45] MariaKeys: me? [03:46] pw-toxic_: it take time [03:46] sacarlson, when i click on this button aboslutley nothing happens ;) no response.. no window nothing [03:46] * gsp2009 chuckles at "tuxtosterone" [03:46] MariaKeys: Can you just copy the partition with dd? How large are the files and how much RAM do you have? [03:46] MariaKeys, you can join ##security and discuss it more with me if you want [03:46] Folks you are all talking theory. None of you broke anything at all WPA-WPA2 or whatever. Just reading here and there. Show me one example who broke something. For all practical purposes, you are likely to spend 10 days min for a basic pass 8 letters. Good luck in hell. [03:46] pw-toxic_: what does action box say? [03:46] <[TK]D-Fender> MariaKeys: http://www.ieice.org/ken/paper/20090925faPH/eng/ [03:46] sacarlson, what action box? [03:46] MariaKeys: And any other background information would be useful. [03:47] Stop feeding the troll, everyone! [03:47] pw-toxic_: in your disk utility look for the word action [03:47] Jordan_U: Yes I can copy the partition. Actually deleting thse files were taking close to a day on ext3 but about 2 mins with ext4. However, I need access to the files. Files need to be processed. [03:47] I would like MariaKeys IP adress plz [03:47] MariaKeys: ok, lets go with your problem, you have HD for back up, right? [03:47] <[TK]D-Fender> MariaKeys: Every tech journal out there has covered this. [03:48] does anyone know how to get gstreamer-based players to play tracks other than the first one for nsf? [03:48] pw-toxic_: you should see level, name, state, action [03:48] [TK]D-Fender: Dude, do not quote me stuff. We had people trying here in vain for months trying to break WPA passes. You are quoting me lab-controlled environments where one bazillion of variables are adjusted. [03:48] fix: Please just drop it, it's not worth arguing over. [03:48] sacarlson: fucking hell its always the simple things. oddly enough it was already on 1280x800, so i dropped it to 1024x768, and it looks fine now [03:48] sacarlson: thanks for your help!

[03:49] xrdodrx: there's a couple of them around already ;) [03:49] aristotle2600: I thought I already told you that one [03:49] xrdodrx, what is it [03:49] bazhang, it /was/ fix [03:49] but he left on his own :) [03:49] MariaKeys may i pm you? [03:50] MariaKeys: explain how lab controlled enviros would change brute forcing?, enough processing power - generate dictionary - start brute forcing; that would be the same anywhere [03:50] sacarlson, ahh.. lol im blind [03:50] sacarlson, it says idle for both my raid5 and my degraded raid1 [03:50] aeon-ltd, don't bother [03:50] sacarlson: 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 screen [03:50] Nisstyre: ok [03:51] aeon-ltd, he/she isn't open to other points of view [03:51] aeon-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] MariaKeys, can you read me? may i pm you? [03:51] MariaKeys: 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] pw-toxic_: mine is still in repair mode so I can't do anything else but you should be able to stop and restart it then [03:51] MariaKeys, was there a support issue you had? [03:51] aeon-ltd: Rainbow tables, hashes, we tried it all. Big freaking waste of time WPA. [03:51] Amaranth, what does the essid have to do with it? [03:51] MariaKeys: If you'd like to join #ubuntu-offtopic we can discuss it at length [03:51] sacarlson, ill take a try if i finished copying the files to a new drive ;) im happy i can at least access them right now ;L) === nick_ is now known as Guest8004 [03:52] sacarlson, as you might guess, my raid1 has very important data ;) [03:52] MariaKeys: forget it, this is going nowhere [03:52] I am off. Thank you all for your ocntributions. [03:53] pw-toxic_: from your statement before you could already access it so I had assumed you already moved the needed data to another location before continue to fix this [03:53] is there a gmome monkey theme? === jeremy is now known as Guest10298 [03:53] sacarlson, no im trying to work in parallel as much as possible because im totally running out of time! [03:53] pw-toxic_: whenever posible you should back before you move tward unknow results [03:54] itaylor57: search gnomelook [03:54] sacarlson, let me please tell you my backup system and then give me a comment what you think about it [03:54] aeon-ltd: tongue in cheek request [03:54] 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 hour [03:55] additionally i hold manual backups for my very important data by creating rar files which are saved on an usb drive === jeremy_ is now known as Guest41600 [03:55] sacarlson, the manual backups are done every 6-12 months i guess [03:55] sacarlson, what do you think about this? [03:55] pw-toxic_: sounds overkill so just fix this then [03:55] no audiophiles here? [03:56] 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 automatically [03:56] because i want to keep them if possible [03:56] tanath: was for a few months before i decided lossless wasn't worth it [03:56] sacarlson, if i loose them i can live with it, but i wouldnt be happy [03:56] pw-toxic_: ok mine has completed fix and now is in idle mode [03:57] aeon-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 tracks [03:57] heh i should change my nick to 'outofcontext' [03:57] pw-toxic_: and my status is running, so if yours is not running you should be able to start it [03:58] sacarlson, there is a stop button [03:58] aeon-ltd, do that a lot? :P [03:58] tanath: Check for existing bug reports about it and if you find none file one yourself. [03:58] sacarlson, but let me tell you more because you are listening to much to me ;) [03:58] Jordan_U, would you know which would be the relevant package? [03:58] tanath: yeah, scrolling back is annoying ... [03:58] sacarlson, my old fileservers drive crashed so i reinstalled ubuntu... then i did a mdadm --assemble --scan but nothing was found [03:58] pw-toxic_: are you in the multidisk device section of disk utility? [03:59] 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 up [03:59] sacarlson, what raid1 do you have? what drives? [03:59] tanath: No. I would probably file a bug report against a specific player and let them decide where the bug lies. [04:00] pw-toxic_: I will not repeat so if you don't follow I will not continue [04:00] sacarlson, ? what didnt i do? [04:00] tanath: Do you know where I could get such a file to reproduce the bug myself? [04:00] pw-toxic_: I have many raid simulations setup for testing [04:00] Jordan_U, mm, i think i've found some relevant bugs. reported some time ago. :( [04:01] Jordan_U, http://www.zophar.net/music/nsf.html [04:01] 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 it [04:02] any one have idea about this http://img707.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img707/8066/screenshotara.png === gilaniali_ is now known as gilaniali [04:02] pw-toxic_: aparantly this is not a function that can be done in paralel so try research and try disk utility when you have the opertunity [04:03] tanath: 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] Jordan_U, lol. well it is lossless... [04:03] <[TK]D-Fender> amit: try asking in #rhel [04:03] pw-toxic_: or do as I have and experiment one simulations to learn how things work in different cases [04:03] Jordan_U, someone filed against rhythmbox: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/367074 [04:03] Ubuntu bug 367074 in rhythmbox (Ubuntu) "nsf files imported incorrectly" [Low,Triaged] [04:03] sacarlson, what exactly do you mean with a simulation? [04:04] how do I kill or force close something that's not behaving? [04:04] AndroidKris: pkill [04:04] pw-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 do [04:04] [tk]D-Fender: but m using host as ubuntu and this output is on virtual box [04:04] pkill? [04:04] < AndroidKris: or 'killall nameofapp' [04:05] AndroidKris: in terminal [04:05] pw-toxic_: with that you can setup a 10 disk simulation if you want [04:05] okay, lets say, out of terminal [04:05] AndroidKris: system monitor? [04:05] [TK]D-Fender: host is of 64 bit and want to install 64 bit on virtual box [04:05] alright, thanks [04:05] sacarlson, sounds interesting - i'll put this one on my todo list ;) [04:06] pw-toxic_: you can even break things and see how to recover in a vb [04:06] Hello 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] pw-toxic_: when it comes to data I make sure I can do it before I play with real stuf [04:06] steve683: is this a pci card? [04:06] Hey everyone. I'm running Vista on a dell. Can someone explain how I can partition my drive to run ubuntu, without loosing any data. And how do I choose which OS to run at start up once it's done? Also, how do I install Linux in the new partition? [04:06] amit, it is only possible if your processor support 64 bit virtualiszation [04:07] aeon-ltd: no, it's built into the motherboard. [04:07] !dualboot > gaxar77 [04:07] gaxar77, please see my private message [04:07] steve683: hmm if it uses a module you can blacklist it, but i don't know any other way [04:07] Abhijit: yes it supports [04:08] amit, then whats the issue? [04:08] that was a bot? [04:08] gaxar77, ubottu is a bot [04:08] aeon-ltd: It's not a really big deal. If that's a lot of trouble i don't need to do it. [04:08] I've got a few problems with permissions and samba I believe. Can someone help me straigten them out? [04:08] Abhijit: when m going to install 64 bit OS on virtual box as my host is already of 64bit it shows the error http://img707.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img707/8066/screenshotara.png [04:09] Jordan_U, any hope of it getting fixed, do you think? [04:09] Abhijit: i have VT, VT -d enabled already [04:09] amit, on that page that terminal image is yours? [04:10] Abhijit: yes this is the image when i start installing on virtual box [04:10] amit, why dont yoou use gui way? btw i dont knnow about this. ask in #vbox [04:10] http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=319303&p=2220151#p2220151 [04:11] my doubt is you anyhow dont have 64 bit virtualisatioon or its not neatly enabled [04:11] I cannot upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. I get the following: http://pastebin.com/zE2CtXHn [04:11] tanath: I don't know. "file" understands enough about the container format to tell me how many tracks an NSF file has, so I'm looking to see if there are any other apps that might understand NSF. [04:12] Abhijit: no after version 2.0 virtual box has 64 bit installation and i have 4.0.4 [04:12] aaaaah [04:12] Maybe a big bug in ubuntu? [04:13] amit, i am not talking aboout virtual box support [04:13] Jordan_U, cool, thanks. i usually use foobar2000 (a windows app) but it acts up a lot, and rarely plays anymore [04:13] Abhijit: ok [04:13] amit, i am talking about yoour MICROPROCESSOR virtualisation support [04:13] cpu [04:13] intel amd that [04:13] Abhijit: ye it is supports [04:13] that need to have support for 64 bit virtualisation and not the virtual box software [04:13] keithclark, did you add a ppa to the repositories, add an unsupported repository or turn off your automatic updates? [04:14] wedwo-, nope, fresh install [04:14] Abhijit: i told u that i have enabled VT,VT-d and have these vme vmx in flags [04:14] ok [04:14] amit, try asking in #vbox then [04:14] its vbox issue then [04:14] Abhijit: ok [04:14] Abhijit: thanx [04:15] keithclark, then that sounds wrong. Try doing: sudo apt-get update - then try upgrading again [04:15] can someone help me to install world of warcraft using wine? [04:15] Grr I can't figure out how to install Python. [04:15] !python [04:15] python is a popular Object Oriented scripting language included in Ubuntu. For more on Python please see http://www.python.org/ or #python [04:16] sudo apt-get install python [04:16] :P [04:16] Jordan_U, audacious? [04:16] hi i plug in my iphone and it loads a icon and such but how do i put music on it [04:17] Said it was unable to unlock administaration directory [04:17] I want to convert the timestamp in my dircproxy txt file logs - I've looked at gawk - does anybody have a link / idea? [04:17] to unlock or to lock? [04:17] To lock [04:17] Sorry [04:17] it means another admin process is using it [04:18] Hmm [04:18] i just got on and that was the first thing i saw i didnt get the context of your question [04:18] wedwo-, nope, same problem. [04:19] keithclark, then please file a bug report as requested [04:19] Basically I'm trying to install Python but I'm new to Ubuntu/Linux so I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing. :) [04:19] anyone? [04:19] yup, but no time for buggy operating systems! Time to move on. Thanks for the help. [04:19] Protomega, apt-get install? [04:19] Jordan_U, audacious and xmms can play them. i think they need plugins, but if so i installed them so long ago i forget them [04:20] Protomega: Python is already installed. [04:20] Protomega, packages.ubuntu.com --- python -- that's the package name to use with apt-get install [04:20] Jordan_U, i really want one player that can play everything though [04:20] Jordan_U, like foobar, but for linux :P [04:20] "The file '/tmp/WoW-4.0.0-WOW-enUS-Installer.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit." can someone help with this? [04:21] kingfarvito1, what help do you need? [04:21] hey guys, How can I change my start up so that instead of Ubuntu being on the top of the list of Operating systems, I want WIndows 7 to be at the top so that it boots to win7 by default [04:21] I need some help setting the proper permissions on a few network shares. I have each user's home directory set as a share, as well as a few "common" shares that I need to allow access to [04:21] but if you have synaptic already open it wont work [04:21] im trying to install world of warcraft with wine [04:21] kingfarvito1: chmod +x '/tmp/WoW-4.0.0-WOW-enUS-Installer.exe' [04:22] i need help changing my boot up settings? anyone plz help [04:22] rshhh: does that go into the terminal? [04:22] Xmf1, get StartupManager from Synaptic (it'll then be in System >> Admin) and use it to change the order [04:22] ? [04:22] ^^ [04:22] thanks [04:22] wedwo-, I must say, I'm a little stunned at the supposedly largest Linux distro having such a basic problem as upgrading. Very, very disappointing. [04:23] hi, i'm trying to write to a partition from the live cd. it looks like i've written to it, but when i unmount/remount the partition, no changes have been made. any ideas? [04:23] points to wedwo [04:23] the partition is ext3 [04:23] THank you guys [04:23] keithclark, I agree. I am still using Lucid for that very reason [04:23] kingfarvito1: you can either execute what I wrote on the terminal, or just right-click on the file and find the executable setting [04:23] wedwo-, time to move on I think! [04:23] Xmf1, you welcome [04:24] tanath: Audacious plays all tracks properly for me without any extra plugins. [04:24] i want to do something similar to "cat file.txt | sed x y" where x was a line return and y was a space. What's the command for that? [04:24] Jordan_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 too [04:25] kingfarvito1: 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 it [04:25] Jordan_U, and the nsf playback is about the only thing i like about audacious :P [04:26] Anyone else able to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10? What is hindering my upgrade? [04:28] error messages keith? [04:28] http://pastebin.com/zE2CtXHn [04:29] have you checked for held packages? [04:29] How? [04:30] When a text w/ escape sequence is set for zshell's zstyle list-separator, it seems that zsh fails to handle it when a command has an argument which starts with a bar("-").

[04:33] Jordan_U, well there's also NSFE which is different (see late comment on bug report) [04:34] Jordan_U, er, you're talking about converting though... better to have it just play as is [04:34] KBentley57, sorry, nothing useful found there. [04:35] Jordan_U, nsf has many benefits. perfect (lossless), and incredibly small files [04:35] Jordan_U, better to treat each track as a separate file for most purposes [04:36] tanath: 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] Jordan_U, foobar's behaviour is the best [04:36] Anyone else or is Ubuntu 10.10 upgrade just broken? [04:36] Jordan_U, i believe there is metadata === david is now known as Guest68810 [04:38] keithclark, could you please paste the result of: /etc/apt/sources.list === shane_ is now known as JDM_SOHC [04:40] Hey guys, anyone able to get vshare plugin working on 10.04? [04:41] i used Wine to install it, and it said installed fine, than when I launch a window to watch video I keep getting the download Vshare screen.

[04:42] Hi friends,i have an issue,yesterday i installed an file from ubuntu forums,to make my SD Card Reader work,i installed it in usr/src and the file keucr,i want to delete that file,it is causing an error for me,everytime when i want to install or remove any software for terminal or ubuntu software center,it is showing an error.the link for error is http://paste.ubuntu.com/572923/ [04:42] what would cause an 'input/output error' when trying most commands?

It is no longer receiving security updates and is not supported in this channel. Please see the message ubottu is about to give you for instructions on upgrading to a supported release. [04:43] rww, noted! keithclark, 1 sec, just need to check it against mine [04:43] sudo rm /path/to/file [04:43] ubottu: eol | Ziber [04:43] Ziber: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [04:44] I have a question, kinda simple I'm sure, but I'm a noob. When i have multiple windows open on the screen, and I go to rotate the desktop cube, my windows always look flat...how do I give them separation and make them 3d ish? [04:44] anyone know how to do this? [04:44] ... End of life? [04:45] any one there [04:45] Ziber: yes. Normal Ubuntu releases are supported for 18 months. Long Term Support releases are supported for three years on desktop, five years on server. 9.04 is a normal release, and April 2009 + 18 months = October 2010. [04:45] AndroidKris: Enable the "3D windows" Effect. [04:45] I dont think you understand. I think its a problem with the server itself. Even if it was an unsupported older release, I should be able to run commands, like who, etc. [04:45] Hi [04:46] Not that I can actually do any of the commands in that upgrade page. [04:46] in Compiz jordan_U? [04:46] Anyone know about my issue? [04:46] AndroidKris: Yes. [04:46] http://paste.ziber.org/57196 [04:47] Hi friends,i have an issue,yesterday i installed an file from ubuntu forums,to make my SD Card Reader work,i installed it in usr/src and the file keucr,i want to delete that file,it is causing an error for me,everytime when i want to install or remove any software for terminal or ubuntu software center,it is showing an error.the link for error is http://paste.ubuntu.com/572923/ [04:47] I'm not finding it there.. [04:47] Jordan_U, ok, well thanks. i'm off [04:47] Ziber: I understand fine. #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu and derivatives. Ubuntu 9.04 is no longer a supported version of Ubuntu. [04:47] keithclark, add this line to the end of that list: deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner [04:47] keithclark, then do sudo apt-get update again [04:48] If what you're saying is true, than a) why would it not have happened in October 2010 but now and b) how to let it run any commands? [04:49] Jordan_U, I'm not finding any 3d windows option [04:49] Ziber: Your problem is not caused by it being unsupported. Your problem is offtopic for this channel because it's unsupported. [04:49] kadapaguy: Try `sudo dkms remove -m keucr -v 0.0.1 --all` at a terminal prompt. [04:49] Anyone know of a common cause for this problem? http://paste.ziber.org/57196 [04:50] dajhorn, :it is showing Error! There are no instances of module: keucr [04:50] o.o.1 located in the DKMS tree. [04:51] dajhorn, :it worked [04:51] Ziber: You can get that kind of thing when the system has zero free memory, or when stdin/stdout somehow get broken. [04:51] AndroidKris: Are you using Compizconfig Settings Mangager? You may also need to install extra Compiz plugin packages. [04:51] sorry i typed o instead of 0,thank you [04:51] dajhorn: free -mt, which also seems to be working, shows some free memory [04:51] dajhorn, :Thank you [04:51] anyone use jdownloader?

Ubuntu broken [04:51] ^^Jordan_U [04:51] and the fact that it works means stdin, stdout work? [04:52] Ziber: Are you doing anything unusual? Like running in a chroot or remounting /dev? [04:52] ...no :o [04:53] AndroidKris: You probably need compiz-fusion-plugins-extra. [04:53] Ziber: Check /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog for errors. [04:53] 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 CD [04:53] dajhorn: how? [04:53] wedwo-, nah, move on.....no time for broken distros! === jeremy is now known as Guest81184 [04:53] its thinking about tail /var/log/syslog [04:54] Ziber: Yes, you can do it that way. Also `less /var/log/messages`.

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] wedwo-, apparently yes [04:54] Ziber: The controlling pty and/or console is probably hosed. You'll need to open a new terminal window. [04:54] I'm new here, not new to IRC or Ubuntu though. [04:54] I love helping people, slightly addicted to it :P [04:54] So is their a special channel for support that i could help out at?

You should be using the support channel that corresponds to the distribution you're using. If that... meh. [05:20] anyone use ubuntu any able to put music on there ipod sheesh [05:20] I love when that happens [05:20] it transfers the files but the ipod does not see it [05:20] markoso: did you try exaile? [05:20] :D [05:20] exaile whats dat === Camarata- is now known as Camarata [05:21] <--getting frustrated with linux [05:21] markoso: it's a different program for playing/managing your music. I assume you're using rhythmbox now? [05:21] rythombox gtkpod amorok tried so far [05:21] how to get two awn instances? [05:21] markoso: Rythmbox put music on my friends iPod straight after a fresh install of 10.10 last week [05:22] markoso: does your ipod have any special software on it, or is it just the normal s/w that comes with it? [05:22] I converted him to Linux after he had sound driver issues etc, he's been able to sync, etc since [05:22] it puts the music on the ipod but i pod dont see it [05:22] hey i keep getting an error when trying to update ubuntu 7 to 10. is there anyway to do it manually? [05:22] its a iphone 3gs [05:23] harasho: i'm not sure on manual updating I would have to check but you could make a partition, put teh files on it for backup and fresh install 10.10? [05:23] ubuntu reconized it and rythombox see it and puts music initunes direcotry [05:23] no!!! [05:23] dont do it! [05:23] dont sync iphone ipod with rhytmbox [05:24] cause it will mess up some metadata of your songs [05:24] camarata: the only thing is that i dont want to fresh install 10.10. i was really hoping to upgrade. i bought a book that came with a custom 7 so i was hoping to keep its features [05:24] nice pyramid of response you built there, Binary_Wolf [05:24] gaelfx: and? [05:24] harasho: which special features? [05:25] nothing, was just commenting on the aesthetics [05:25] ill try exaile last chance and its back to windows where stuff works most the time (dual boot) ugh [05:25] camarata: unfortunately i do not know all of them. its server stuff and source code. all the code used in the book is on the os [05:25] markoso: I think you can install itunes in wine [05:25] i am sorry, i will use proper english and grammar from now if it is what you meant :) [05:25] what with 50 terminal windows and 2 hrs [05:25] gaelfx: iTunes via Wine does work [05:25] doesnt work [05:26] Binary_Wolf: haha, no, no, I was merely commenting, no judgment [05:26] oh wait [05:26] sorry im just pissed a bit [05:26] no [05:26] maybe it does work,it was just wine that was glitching [05:26] markoso: that's pretty normal around here [05:26] i need to try it again [05:26] Evenin' all. [05:26] but i doubt it will sync you idevice [05:27] So, I have a question. [05:27] good evening Nick_Osborne [05:27] markoso: I would suggest that if you want things to work the way you expect them to, give the itunes for windows a try using wine [05:27] after many years you think linux would be ready for people not just geeks [05:27] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 on an older laptop, and it's not doing anything. [05:27] if exaile i might try wine [05:27] Nick_Osborne: you boot the the CD and do you get to the screen for Try vs Install? [05:28] um it is not linux fault there is no itunes version for it [05:28] do i just dl itunes from the site and wine will see it or is it some long drawn out process [05:28] I didn't get any screen. [05:28] i dont care for itunes i just want shit to work [05:28] It went straight into loading... then nothing. [05:28] markoso: 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 Windows [05:29] ugh [05:29] markoso: understandable markoso, but as with changing anything, there's a bit of a learning curve involved [05:29] Nick_Osborne: if you didn't even get a screen/GUI to install I would suggest trying to burn another disc..maybe at a lower speed [05:30] markoso: 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 software === FEESH is now known as Guest84845 [05:30] im trying to install cutecw (qt based morse code training program) but when i run it all i get is " undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData11detach_growEPii " [05:30] and even a novice can make a bash script to apt get his facorite software to repeat on other clients etc etc, some things are easier in linux and many equivalent softwares exist [05:30] hello...is there a way to tell ubuntu to send dns requests to a different port than 53? [05:30] everything was fin untill i buy a iphone [05:31] markoso: I think you'll find that installing wine will help, especially if there are other apps you expect to use from before [05:31] Camarata: ssh? [05:31] i have wine [05:31] markoso: should have got a Droid ;), but Apple has interests in making stuff work only on their ecosystem [05:31] has any one tried developing in android from ubuntu ? [05:31] this is what I'm getting. It goes to the purple screen. I alt-tab and I get an error chroot: can't execute 'mktemp' : input/output error [05:31] lol, that's gotta be a great quote, "EVerything was fine til I bought an iPhone" [05:31] Nick_Osborne: is this first or second disk? [05:31] droid was more money [05:31] first. [05:31] Only disk, mind you. [05:32] im trying to install cutecw (qt based morse code training program) but when i run it all i get is " undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData11detach_growEPii " help! ???? [05:32] can i get itunes with play on linux? [05:32] Nick_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 again [05:33] i think it is faster to install apps via apt-get rather than via software center (it is kinda laggy ) [05:33] that fixes some hardware bugs sometimes, but otherwise i would assume bad disk? [05:33] I've never had any problems with the drive before, and it's a brand new disk. [05:33] markoso: i have done iTunes (Windows ver) via WINE before, but Binary_Wolf suggests it may be buggy? [05:34] is there a way to tell ubuntu to send dns requests to a different port than 53? [05:34] Nick_Osborne: i burned 3 disks of Ubuntu 10.10 in last week or so for myself and others, one of the 3 was bad... i bought cheap disks and used a Windows ISO burner since the lapto pcame with Windows on it [05:34] ok exaile did not work, i will burn a win 7 disc tommorro and get itunes [05:34] Camarata: so as feedback on WINE site says [05:34] Nick_Osborne: so it happens [05:34] according to new itunes [05:34] Windows has an ISO burner? I used a Third party burner. [05:35] Nick_Osborne: I *think* as of Vista it comes built in [05:35] I'm still running XP SP3 [05:35] I tried running it from USB... it did nothing. [05:36] i use windows only for itunes lol [05:36] Why does it ask me for a time zone then only list Chicago [05:36] everything i need is on linux [05:36] TinyTom: click on the map [05:36] TinyTom: click the map directly [05:36] I'm in the text installer === DocOC is now known as SociaLdiseasE [05:36] This might not be the newest version [05:37] I have a buddy that I set up on 10.4 server... every now and then (seemingly randomly) his network will stop working... all he has to do is hit a key on the local machine and poof it's back up and running. I suggested getting one of those perpetual motion birds like Homer did but he would rather fix it. ;) Anyone ever seen this? [05:37] Eitherway I'm beyond that point, I've installed this thing like a hundred times [05:37] It always says Chicago [05:37] Which isn't a time zone [05:37] It almost seems like it's going to "sleep" but it's a fairly stock server install and it's so random [05:37] we've also changed NICs out [05:38] Is there a way to turn off libnotify for certain apps? And is there a way to turn off libnotify completely? [05:38] sometimes when I wake up from suspend the touchpad's physical button only partially works [05:39] I'm trying to re-install from USB. [05:39] or can someone tell me what the error iptables: No chain/target/match by that name. means? [05:39] See if it does the same thing as the CD did. [05:39] FluxD: You could remove libnotify or rename the libnotify binary to something else (ie libnotify-off) === SociaLdiseasE is now known as DocOC [05:40] redbox, no other "right way" to turn it on and odd?

[05:40] Assid: been a long time but did you look at the preferences? [05:40] FluxD, I don't think libnotify is as much a problem for you as is the notification daemon [05:40] Assid: Server > Preferences > Nick completion suffix [05:41] karla, yea I think it was renamed or something [05:41] FluxD: It is serving its purpose -- To notify you.

Some of them do have options. [05:41] Reallycool: my bad [05:42] ardchoille, i dont see input box.. [05:42] FluxD, otherwise you're most likely stuck with it, no notifications or all notifications :/ [05:42] soreau: is there anything wrong with this rule [05:42] ?

(my buffer is gone, if it was answered I missed it) [05:42] was directed at anyone who might have an idea how this could be fixed [05:42] How do you do no notifications? [05:42] Assid: It's under Interface in the prefs ui [05:42] Reallycool: gotcha... I too have an odd problem... good luck. [05:42] thanks [05:43] ichbinsnicht: I think you need to change the command to suit your needs. Where it says remote_dns_ip, you need to change this and OUTPUT to real values [05:43] wait your talking about x-chat for gnome right [05:43] ardchoille, wait your talking about x-chat for gnome right [05:43] soreau: i sure did that...but i don't wanted to expose the ip adresses here ;) [05:43] MK: why do you want it to do that? [05:43] IP address scardy cats [05:43] Assid: I'm talking about xchat, not xchat-gnome [05:44] so I can keep track [05:44] Assid: there are two apps for xchat in ubuntu, xchat is the better one [05:44] ichbinsnicht: other than that, not sure. Maybe try ##networking [05:44] MK`: you do know that 1MB=1024KB, right? [05:44] I mean a MB MB, not a MiB MB [05:44] hello [05:44] Anyone know any XORG tricks and such? I have Laptop + 2 DisplayLink Monitors (usb to dvi)... I can get the 2 monitors working OR the laptop screen but not both. Drivers are install (obviously) but I just cant get xorg.conf right or something... i want all my monitors if anyone can help :D [05:45] MK`: ok, now I'm even more confused [05:45] MK`: 1024kb = 1MB. 1000kb is not quite a megabyte [05:45] soreau: do you think that this is the solution to redirect dns requests to a different port than 53 or shall i look for another solution?

[05:47] soreau: what command? [05:48] filip_: login as root [05:48] Well, it started to work, but the last command line was Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done.

[05:49] soreau: what do you mean? [05:49] can i just give myself (a user) all admin privileges? [05:49] filip_, or polkit-1, whatever [05:49] ichbinsnicht: There is a command called ip that can do what you want. See the manual with this command: man ip [05:49] so I am referring to Nautilus [05:49] is there a way for me to change the setting in it? [05:50] Can I get a little help guys? I've installed Ubuntu twice on my new hardware, and both times it says "Read Error" before it gets to anything ubuntu. [05:50] MK`: did you try 'nautilus --help' or 'man nautilus'? [05:51] soreau: ok...do you maybe know a site where this is explained with examples? [05:51] I am not on ubuntu now, I was just curious if it was something you guys knew offhand [05:51] I'm having that, too [05:51] ok, after polkit-1, what then? [05:52] Mac OS X v10.6 started showing them the decimal way, I was surprised Ubuntu didn't heh [05:52] MK`: definitely don't know it offhand, but from what I've seen in the --help, it doesn't look like there's an option to change it [05:52] which file in the actions folder contains what i need to change?

[05:59] MK`: http://gaffitter.sourceforge.net/ that's the best I can find for what you want, I guess [05:59] Jordan_U, Radeon HD 4870 [05:59] is falling asleep [05:59] ah [05:59] i have the proprietary thing installed in the additional drivers section too === londonmet050_ is now known as londonmet050 [06:00] eoss: You will want latest kernel and userspace for open radeon driver or you can try installing the proprietary fglrx driver (sys>admin>additional drivers) [06:00] eoss, what's the output of fglrxinfo ? [06:00] soreau, i did that and it worked in aditional drivers [06:00] http://pastebin.com/eaedtR0h [06:01] isplay: :0.0 screen: 0 [06:01] OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. [06:01] OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series [06:01] OpenGL version string: 1.4 (3.3.10237 Compatibility Profile Context) [06:01] eoss: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:01] hi, may I shutdown my computer although a raid is just beeing resynced? [06:01] lwizardl: OK. If you run "ls /mnt/" do you see the list of files on the disk? [06:02] MK`: but it looks like it's mainly for external media [06:02] yes [06:02] k there's a wireless switch on my laptop and it was off when I boot into ubuntu, when I turn it back on it it still shows up as "wireless disabled" I ran sudo ifconfig wlan0 up but nothing [06:02] yeah :/ [06:02] eoss: If you remove fglrx and install xorg-edgers and mesa-experimental package, you can test gallium. Better to have a latest kernel too though (2.6.38 or later) [06:02] At least the other system programs like the partitioner show it in decimal [06:02] lwizardl: Then you're done, it's mounted. Do you need help accessing /mnt/ from the GUI file manager? [06:03] soreau, ok [06:03] eoss: Also for open drivers you might need texture compression library. More help with the open driver in $radeon [06:03] #radeon* [06:03] Hey everyone! Using Ubuntu 10.10 and my wireless connection disconnects always after I initiate a download or something. I'm using a wireless dongle to connect to my local AP using WPA2. encryption. The same setup works with Debian 6. Tho' I'm all for Ubuntu. Any ideas? [06:03] how come this disc didn't mount and have it load the folder popup like all the rest [06:03] and have a desktop icon [06:05] Psycho_Dad, use other wifi module [06:05] wicd [06:05] I'v tried wicd. Same thing happens. [06:05] MK`: it is really strange that there isn't a simple way to change it [06:05] so I see BitchX is no longer the standard irc client in ubuntu [06:06] what client am I using? I ran the irc command [06:06] partially because "sudo apt-get install bitchx" doesn't do any good [06:06] ferreirathiago_: By other wifi-module you mean another dongle? :) [06:06] monty, Xchat most likely [06:06] monty: probably pidgin [06:06] im in terminal [06:06] yeah I am surprised [06:06] monty, Ooooo. Dunno [06:07] sangha, monty: BitchX was unsupported, and was dropped from the repos. irssi is the preferred terminal IRC client by most. [06:07] there's a wireless switch on my laptop and it was off when I boot into ubuntu, when I turn it back on it it still shows up as "wireless disabled" I ran sudo ifconfig wlan0 up but nothing [06:07] ahh alright thanks [06:08] Psycho_Dad, dongle is hardlock, or no? [06:09] I ran /ctcp monty version and it reported back ircII [06:09] ferreirathiago_: 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. [06:10] ok [06:10] Furthermore, when it dies I have to restart my router to be able to reconnect. [06:10] Ubuntu newbie question: Can Ubuntu 10.10 be fully installed on a PC *without* an Internet connection? [06:11] CharlyCoder: Yes. [06:11] CharlyCoder: Yes. The install CD contains all packages needed for a standard installation. [06:11] (or in the case of the LiveCD, the whole casper image) [06:11] I've tried using wicd, same thing happens. After that I remove network manager and wicd, kept wpasupplicant and setup my interface in /etc/network/interfaces, was able to connect and... the same thing happened this way too. :/ [06:12] Psycho_Dad, Do you have tried restart network-manager? [06:12] hi [06:12] Psycho_Dad, for reconnect? no restart router [06:12] rww: So even though the installer has put a "X" next to this computer is connected to the internet, it will still install correctly? [06:12] once i stop a running process with control z , how do i start the process without fg nad start it in background [06:12] CharlyCoder: yes [06:12] leapy0yo: bg [06:13] rww: Fantastic. Thanks very much. [06:13] ferreirathiago_: I've restarted the network-manager of course. And I *really* had to restart my router to be able to reconnect. Nothing helped even rebooting my machine. [06:13] leapy0yo: you cant do that, you want "screen" for that kind of stuff [06:14] tried modify wifi security for WEP? [06:14] *route [06:14] exit [06:15] Nope. But I really don't want to. Because this same adapter, with the same router works just fine with Debian (although as I said, I really want to use Ubuntu). [06:15] ... [06:16] What can be the difference in wireless communication in Debian and Ubuntu? [06:16] I see almost a 1500 users in this channel, almost 99% keeping mum , and so really who are those people? or are they really people?and too why they are here if keeping mum? [06:17] pksadiq: ask #ubuntu-offtopic :P [06:17] Psycho_Dad: I would check to see what driver Debian is using, Ubuntu may use a different driver and that could be the issue [06:18] rww: there too the same, I'm afraid, ;) logging in and sleeping [06:18] Psycho_Dad: Chech the version numbers if they are the same driver. [06:18] pksadiq, We are doing other things :) [06:19] msl: happy if you say what you do ;) ? [06:20] raido: They are using the same driver zd1211rw. I'm not sure about the version numbers tho'. [06:20] hello friends [06:22] pksadiq, I personally am learning more about sed and awk. Really good docs at www.funtoo.org. [06:22] Psycho_Dad: you could attempt to install the driver from the Devian repo to the Ubuntu install. See if that works [06:22] i tried to install ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 beside windows 7 and have failed both times. I installed a fresh 500gb hd just for ubuntu to use. it seems to format and go through install, but after reboot, it just boots into windows. [06:23] msl: may I private message you? I don't need to flood here [06:23] raido: 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. [06:24] It might be wotht a try to grab that debian .deb and install it in ubuntu. [06:24] raido: Yeah I think so. :) I hope it'll turn out right. [06:25] Psycho_Dad: good luck and you may need to blacklist whatever driver Ubuntu currently loads, or uninstall it. [06:26] raido: It loads this driver (zd1211rw), I'm sure about this. I just don't know if it installs this firmware. [06:26] The 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. [06:27] Psycho_Dad: see here for the Dibian repo for that http://wiki.debian.org/zd1211rw [06:28] Hi. Why will ubuntu not show up in my XP network Workgroup folder?

[06:30] Psycho_Dad: np, let us know [06:31] K, bye!

[07:22] morgan, 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] YankDownUnder, I have never had to check for a module in the past. It worked well before today.

[07:31] dw-: 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 known [07:31] sjacobs, And there are no 'M' in the boxes at the bottom of the bars for master and PCM? [07:32] msl, Im using a Realtek alc529 [07:32] msl, no [07:32] DasEi: yar.. always a way [07:32] brobinson, 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] msl, I am dual booting, and windows 7 has sound fine [07:32] And your speakers are plugged in? :) [07:32] ITs a laptop [07:32] But i know you have to ask [07:32] :) [07:33] Im in internet support [07:33] sjacobs, Have you tried to Google and find out what sound driver is being used under linux for that sound card/hardware yet? [07:33] msl, this is the only thing ruining ubuntu for me, no sound [07:33] DasEi: actually it worked, not a partial file. very nice.. ;) [07:33] hello all [07:33] DasEi: 25MB for 1.5hrs [07:34] Yankdownunder, its an asus n53jq - it is using the alc259 chip [07:34] sjacobs, Any sound related errors in your dmesg output? [07:34] card : hda intel [07:34] can someone help my fix my cd rom? [07:34] sjacobs, I'm not going to Google for ya mate. [07:34] msl - how do i get that - dmesg in terminal? [07:35] can i move the current ubuntu install on my laptop to a pendrive... keeping all drivers and profiles? [07:35] daniel_: 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] ya. It will be a large output. You can send to a file or use more. [07:35] yankdownunder - what would you like me to find [07:35] daniel_: can try, open a terminal.. [07:35] sjacobs, Have you even tried to Google this issue? [07:35] fidyduce: i think its possible. but may take some work. (like most things in linux) [07:36] daniel_: chat in the channel... and give details as to what you are douing and trying... [07:36] sjacobs, 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] daniel_: sudo apt-get install hwinfo pastebinit [07:36] Dr_Willis: lol i am game [07:37] fidyduce: 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] daniel_: sudo hwinfo | grep cdrom [07:37] daniel_: is the drive listed at all ? [07:37] DasEi:i see the cd rom in computer [07:38] daniel_: so yes [07:38] yankdownunder, what solution can you find? [07:38] daniel_: pastebinit /etc/fstab [07:38] Dr_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] fidyduce, It will take some work to get the bootloader fixed if you copy everything over. [07:39] Diamond as soon as I pulled the AC it went down again [07:39] Might be easier to just install to the USB and move over your files... [07:39] :it says that the program is not installed [07:39] fidyduce: it depends on exactly what you want to do really. theres some remaster guides. or just check out the '!clone' factoid. [07:39] daniel_: which prog ? [07:39] !clone | fidyduce [07:39] fidyduce: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [07:39] sjacobs, In your GOOGLE search box: realtek+alc259+ubuntu => I'm not going to Google for folks...you're more than capable. [07:40] thanks everyone i will look into this [07:40] yankdownunder - thats all i wanted to know - i wasnt ASKING you to google. Just what to google for [07:41] YankDownUnder: why shouldn't you google? :O [07:41] dasEi:nvm so what now [07:42] daniel_: pastebinit /etc/fstab [07:42] Hey dudes [07:42] daniel_: give replied link here [07:43] DasEi: yes [07:43] link? [07:43] dasei:pastebin.com/32xygFGA [07:44] http://pastebin.com/32xygFGA [07:45] daniel_: got it, yes no entry for cd there, did you put cd in after installing , and which distro do you use ? [07:45] Does Maverick provide libreoffice DEB program packages? Using Synaptic I could not find any. [07:45] yankdownunder: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/LLXmLNg2EVKwaoRJkMpR - this has a solution, but i am not sure how [07:45] hi all. I'm doing a clean install. had to do the acpi workaround for the install because it was freezing @ kernal_thread_helper did the install magic and now when I try to boot, it freezes at thebsame point. [07:46] i used cd to install ubuntu and what is a dsitro? [07:46] oh more thing how do i make the text in red in this chat? [07:46] Hi! 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] daniel_: flavours of ubuntu, lsb_release -a tells you [07:46] Hi, I use the gnome display preferences to configure my external screen, but now I have a problem. At work I use one kind of external monitor, and at home I use another. When I try to detect monitors at home, the one from work shows up, and I cannot select the correct resolution... Does anyone know what to do? [07:47] No LSB modules are available. [07:47] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [07:47] Description: Ubuntu 10.10 [07:47] Release: 10.10 [07:47] Codename: maverick [07:47] daniel_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:47] kickedfish: This apparently is a hardware-related bug. Please google for it in Launchpad with the catchword of your computer's type name. [07:48] daniel_: so maverick is it, fine [07:48] daniel_: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom [07:48] sjacobs, 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) [07:49] it says command not found [07:49] daniel_: sudo chown -R $USER /media/cdrom [07:49] check your spelling. [07:49] No such file or directory [07:49] daniel_, Um...have you checked to make sure the audio cd was, um, clean and without heaps of scratches? [07:49] 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? [07:50] i have tried diffrent cd's but none of them work [07:50] yankdownunder - Dumb that right down for me [07:50] daniel_: you mean differnt 'audio/music cd' ? or have you tried some actual DATA cd's also? [07:50] sjacobs, I can't, really, mate. That's about as dumbed down as you're going to get... [07:50] daniel_: which cmd caused an error ? [07:50] hold on let me try data cd [07:50] hey guys, don't mean to be a douche, just on andirc and not sure if I'm sending messages. you guys see me? [07:51] daniel_: you want an fstab entry, anyway.. [07:51] I should point out - you DONT mount a Music/Audio CD. You just run a music player and it should access it.. [07:51] 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] kickedfish, Nope - don't see you at all. [07:51] Can anyone tell me the difference between "blocks" in fsck and "sectors" in gparted info? I really need to repair my ext4 partition [07:51] sudo chown -R $USER /media/cdrom [07:51] <3 thanks Yank. [07:52] DasEi: i have not seen the use of a fstab entry for a 'cdrom' used in ubuntu in some ages... [07:52] if ever. [07:52] korsakov: sectors are line the line of a streetsystem, whereas blocks are the single houses [07:52] gnome should auto mount data cd's as needed. and a music cd.. well.. start a music program and see if it can play them [07:52] 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? [07:52] Dr_Willis: as of udev ? on lucid still there [07:52] dasEi:the data cd doesn't work [07:53] junius_, The light blinking fast and repeatedly can cause radiation damange to your retinas. Don't look at the light. [07:53] junius_ not a problem Ubuntu takes control of some hardware led's and makes them work as status lights. [07:53] daniel_: dir set at chown'ed ? [07:53] heh? [07:53] and=at* [07:53] ?? [07:53] daniel_: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom [07:53] daniel_: sudo chown -R $USER /media/cdrom [07:54] DasEi: none of my Ubuntu box;'s here have a entry for cdrom in fstab.. I seem to recall if an entry was in fstab can break automounting. (but i have no entries on the 3 machines i am checking) [07:54] hmm, well itz right on top of the keyboard of my laptop so very hard to not look at it, any way to get rid of it ? [07:55] demolish your pc [07:55] now [07:55] junius_, You'll have to put on a blindfold - save your retinas. [07:55] DasEi: i did that:sudo chown -R $USER /media/cdrom and nothing happens [07:55] daniel_: fine, so : [07:55] daniel_: sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom [07:56] piercedwater: be helpful, please [07:56] daniel_: you did put a 'data' cd in the drive just a moment ago? [07:56] mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device3 [07:56] mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device [07:56] yes [07:57] daniel_: sr0=srZero [07:57] use /dev/cdrom instead [07:57] daniel_: pastebinit /var/log/syslog [07:57] DasEi: the error they posted has a 0 ;) [07:57] o or 0 ? heh [07:57] how to install gnome 2.32 on ubuntu 10.04 ????? [07:58] DasEi: get a better font ;P [07:58] if junius_ didn't get yelled at for spamming and impatience and I have only a half idea if someone saw my first message~spaaaam~(kickedfish) hi all. I'm doing a clean install. had to do the acpi workaround for the install because it was freezing @ kernal_thread_helper did the install magic and now when I try to boot, it freezes at thebsame point. [07:58] kj6lxu: You don't. Ubuntu doesn't add new major versions of software the repositories for released versions of Ubuntu. [07:58] !latest [07:58] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are: fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [07:58] s/the/to the/ [07:59] http://pastebin.com/VvGGzqE3 [07:59] rww: can i install from source [08:00] kj6lxu: if thats not the version in the repos.. use a ppa, or use source. (ppa would be easiest) [08:00] kj6lxu: but its proberly better to not do this on a 'work' machine. [08:00] kj6lxu: Sure, but it's likely to cause all sorts of problems and isn't supported here. [08:01] Does Maverick provide libreoffice DEB program packages? Using Synaptic I could not find any. [08:01] bullgard: not in the default repos. I think theres some LibreOffice ppa's out there [08:01] bullgard: There's a PPA for it. Maverick's repositories only contain OO.o [08:01] !libreoffice [08:01] Current 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.

[08:09] daniel_: i gave you installation of pastebinit and hwinfo in the first lines, so scroll back a few lines , or read the output in your terminal [08:09] which is a really neat feature in the command line for ubuntu to have. :) [08:10] Dr_Willis: no, its all this error messages, bad ubnut, ;) [08:10] AbhijiT: Thanks butt that confuses me I am new to ubuntu [08:10] DasEi: to much text... cant handle it all...

[08:20] Fwb2700: not even a live cd? [08:20] the cd tray doesn't work so I don't know how to install xubuntu [08:20] daniel_: open and close the tray (always a cd in in this tries) [08:21] Tech_Support: networkboot is a possibility. or remove hd, put in a differnt box. install.. put it back [08:21] DasEi: it worked fine on my windows 7 but when i installed ubuntu 10.10 it stoped working [08:21] I'm stuck with freaking windows until I can install it from an external hard drive casing [08:21] daniel_: dmesg | tail | hwinfo [08:21] I've thought of both [08:21] Dr_Willis: Live cd works.

Couldn't get it to work [08:33] daniel_: strange thing that.. open terminal again [08:33] daniel_: cd /dev && ls [08:33] ok [08:34] Fwb2700: You could always put the grub loader on a flash drive and see if it can boot from that.

[08:44] oh, you were referring the --dry-run-purge ? [08:44] KucukMubasir: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* --dry-run [08:44] LXCC-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. [08:45] KucukMubasir: the appendix to make sure you don't waste unwanted pakets, if all fine, cut it again [08:45] DasEi: same error [08:45] Couldn't find package nvidia* [08:45] KucukMubasir: you saw the turnaourund in first half of cmd ? [08:45] what do you mean by that?

[08:48] Dr_Willis: with ctrl+alt+f7 i can see login screen of Lubuntu, but in text mode, using ps aux, i not see ldm or gdm or kdm, do you want see the entire ps aux? [08:48] cd /dev && ls [08:49] yes sr0 [08:49] LXCC-Vincenzo: you may want to ask in #lubuntu how to stop their login service. I thought it was ldm. it may be called somthing differntly [08:49] LXCC-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] daniel_: the touch just placed a "dummy there", well : sudo gconfeditor [08:50] daniel_: sudo gconf-editor [08:50] * [08:50] the configuration editor just opened [08:51] ok thank you Dr_Willis [08:51] DasEi: any help for me apart from aharr ? :( [08:52] could I be removed them already?

Is there a good guide on this? [08:52] DasEi: that list is the same as without dry-run anyway [08:53] Dr_Willis found lxdm, i'll try to stop it [08:54] KucukMubasir: remove often pulls lots of dependencies out, too, which is not always wanted, this was my advice, and you found your nividias now, nor ? [08:54] MegaHerz: why do you have to do it via that particular path? [08:55] gaelfx: for reasons ) can you help me? [08:56] MegaHerz: not sure, but I'll try [08:56] gaelfx: just need to know what to type in the /etc/network/interfaces - how to setup key, ssid, and make my dhcp to work over it upon its start [08:56] DasEi: I still get "couldn't find package nvidia*" [08:56] : u there?

Can i find skype and test it firsthand for video etc , before installing actual ubuntu? [09:08] usseldridge: just 'dd' the flash drive to a image file. and set it up as a hard drive image for vbox. would be a way to do that then. [09:08] usseldridge: no need tomake it an 'iso' image file. when a HD image file can work [09:09] Dr_Willis: any suggestion? [09:09] javahorn_ sure look in synaptic for skype [09:09] Fudge: sorry very new [09:09] usseldridge: ive seen some vbox docs/guides on doing this. but never tried it myself. [09:09] ruby on rails or php (anyone)? [09:09] Fudge: where to find synaptic [09:09] * gaelfx1 sighs, pidgin :( [09:09] synaptic is not on the default setups any more i thought. [09:10] click on system menu, administration then synaptic package manager [09:10] Dr_Willis: Synaptic is, software sources is hidden inside it though [09:10] sometimes I think hummus was created by the gods [09:10] javahorn_: applications -> software center look for skype perhaps. [09:10] oh Dr_Willis ? you can also goto a terminal or console and type sudo apt-get install skype [09:10] Dr_Willis: ok, i'll try [09:10] Fudge: that works :) [09:10] how do i refresh the upper panel?

[09:13] thanks Dr_Willis [09:13] Dr_Willis: i've created new user but startx not work [09:14] javahorn_: could be the Skype repos are not included by default. check the skype factoid to see where its at.

[09:14] LXCC-Vincenzo: thats a sign of a deeper systemissue. not just a user setting. :( that can be much harder to figure out. [09:14] eXpLoD: to refresh the panel, I believe you would have to restart gdm, so best bet is log out and in again [09:14] javahorn_ see my second solution, quick check sudo apt-cache search skype if it shows sudo apt-get isntall skype [09:14] eXpLoD unless I misunderstood what it is you want to do? [09:14] I sure wish mio factory worked on ubuntu [09:14] LXCC-Vincenzo: are you getting any sctual error messages with it? what does startx do exactly when youy try it. [09:15] javascript -> exe === Kaleido|Away is now known as Kaleidomorph [09:15] Well the date is weird,it's upside down,so i thought refreshing the panel would help [09:15] how is the default image viewer named in ubuntu?

[09:16] eXpLoD: evince, I think [09:16] eXpLoD maybe you need to remove the applet from the panel and then re-add it? [09:17] yea,how is the date and time applet named? [09:17] hi, 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 nvidia [09:17] eXpLoD not sure, right-click it and select properties to find out [09:17] ruif13: do you have the nvidia drivers installed already? [09:18] yes gaelfx1 [09:18] yeah just de-selected show time and then selected it again and now its fine [09:18] 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? === gaelfx1 is now known as gaelfx [09:18] javahorn_ in the default places it gets programs from, called the repositories [09:18] sharperguy, I believed u just need to add to your CP path [09:19] ruif13: 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] ruif13: and have you tried asking the settings utility to detect monitors while the hdmi is plugged in? [09:19] ruif13: OR try the nvidia-settings tool to see if they detect it. [09:19] jump on skype.com and download a .deb for it, pretty easy to install sudo dpkg -i skype-filename.deb [09:20] eXpLoD haha, cool, I love when stuff like that happens [09:20] gaelfx I the nvidia detects the model monitor and resolution but when i restart x still the same [09:20] gaelfx i look at the boot of my laptop and doesn't ssee anything about hdmi [09:21] Fudge: video works fine with that kind of .deb? [09:21] i gona pastbin my config [09:21] w8 [09:21] yes javahorn_ [09:21] Fudge: Thanks, let me try, be here. ;-) [09:21] ruif13: gimme a sec, I'm, gonna take a look at my settings [09:21] which are the non-apple notebooks that have a multi-touch touchpad? [09:22] ayush_: tons of em, nowadays [09:22] ayush_: I'm pretty sure a lot of ASUS lappies have em [09:22] its impossible to keep up with all the new neat stuff comming out.. or comming out soon. :) [09:22] ehm does ubuntu support multitouch device? [09:22] where to get binary drivers of ralink wireless cards on net, anyone knows? [09:23] hrmm how well does ubuntu netbook perform on those 10" asus eepc netbooks [09:23] ddd: it was supposed tobe a improved feature in 10.10 i recall. [09:23] gaelfx, are ASUS laptops good for linux? [09:23] gaelfx my configs http://paste.ubuntu.com/572987/ [09:23] ayush_: yeah, I'd say they're generally pretty good [09:24] Dr_Willis: sorry for delay, i'm trying to create a paste of errors [09:24] ayush_: most popular brands work somewhat well at least, though there's almost always a little tweaking that needs to be done [09:25] ruif13: did you try to use it with twinview at all? to see if perhaps the problem is with xinerama? [09:25] hum gona see [09:26] Is there any major company that sells laptops with no OS / freedos / linux pre-installed? [09:26] as ayush_ asked, any notebook add multitouch (excl apple)? [09:26] ddd: can you scroll with two fingers on your touchpad in ubuntu? cause that's multitouch [09:26] ayush_: there are a few, but most of the "majors" seem to have stopped doing that [09:26] LXCC-Vincenzo: the 'pastebin' command does wonders. :) [09:27] ayush_: system76 i think does. [09:27] ayush_: but 'major' is a relative word here. :) [09:27] I think if you buy 1000+ units, you can get them without anything installed [09:27] is there a way to use apt-get trickery to 'upgrade' linux mint to ubuntu? [09:27] Synaptic had multitouch long before apple [09:27] yeah but system76 laptops are as costly as apple's and are made out of plastic. [09:28] gaelfx, I haven't tried that yet. Is it support zooming? [09:28] Fudge: while installing 10.10. i get "No Root File System defined". what to correct? [09:28] lahwran: 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] and rotating? [09:28] ddd: last time I tried it on my netbook, I believe it did [09:28] ddd: did not try rotating [09:28] Dr_Willis: it's not my machine, it's a friend who installed mint and now I'm going "eww go away mint" [09:28] lahwran: you could try removing all the mint specific repos.. adding the ubuntu ones.. and let it fight it out. (i would suggest doing backups) [09:29] javahorn_: Sounds like you haven't defined a root partition [09:29] good to knowing that:) [09:29] Hi folks, glad to have found this channel :) [09:30] ddd: 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 anything [09:30] can any one help me [09:30] concon: i have existing windows(corrupted), so where i should define root partition?

[09:32] javahorn_: The partition you're going to install ubuntu on needs to have the label / [09:32] In the end the system hangs [09:32] ddd: i would say it may be in the repos eventually.. but not the default [09:32] Not lable, mount point [09:32] martinusex: did you try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop? [09:32] i try to reinstal from live cd but the systems hangs in the GUI mode [09:33] martinusex: or maybe reinstalling gdm is a better place to start, sorry, I went a little nuclear off the bat there [09:33] !info oregano [09:33] oregano (source: oregano): tool for schematical capture of electronic circuits.

[10:12] amit, and as suggested before ask about vbox products from their site in #vbox [10:13] punkinhell, :) [10:13] find/install or compile a vi that supports what you want. [10:13] ok 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 boots [10:13] :bazhang:they are saying its ubuntu problem [10:13] Dr_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. [10:14] u'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 work [10:14] amit: does your cpu have vt-x or vt-d? [10:15] oCean: yes i enabled both [10:15] ashnur: Not sure of any differanfe - they mey be running some dirfernt startup/desktop startup files. [10:15] punkinhell, I still do not understand why the simple :syntax on wouldnot work [10:15] oCean: i enabled VT,VT-d from BIOS setup [10:15] amit: you tried egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo ? [10:15] oCean: yes [10:15] well in vanilla vi u don't have a syntax option to work on...see how painful that is :) [10:15] amit: and it returns what? [10:16] oCean: it has vme and vmx also under flags [10:16] Dr_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 :( [10:17] punkinhell, like I said before u need to install vim. maybe with static link [10:17] amit: hmm.. in that case you should be able to run 64bit guest. And your error is..? [10:18] ubuntu is nice :) desktop version, any try the server version? [10:18] extra11, sure [10:18] good?

[10:18] extra11, you may wish to try #ubuntu-server if so [10:18] oCean: i have 64bit as my host also [10:19] amit: maybe it requires boot option for the kernel. It's redhat? [10:19] ashnur: as a test. make a new user.. see if affects themn also [10:20] oCean: yes i want to run red hat under virtual box and Ubuntu is my host OS [10:20] punkinhell: set up sshfs. use local vim to edit files.. === boris is now known as Boris678 [10:21] ok, thanks, brb [10:21] i wanna add something in my bashrc so everytime i do scrot it saves the file in ~/Desktop/Screenshots and in .jpg format...any help?

[11:06] Dr_Willis: should I check syslog for this login screen issue? [11:06] tazz: what error occurs ? [11:06] KucukMubasir: you can always check.. X logs are in /var/log/Xorg.0.log* also [11:06] quick question - I changed my hard drives around (physically), where do i edit my grub menu to stop pointing windows from SDD to SDA ? What file i mean, i'm in 10.10 [11:07] tazz, thats india so main servers would not be very close, better to choose something in JP or TW to be honest [11:07] Raj007: you could just set teh bios to boot the other hd.. and it may work properly. [11:07] bazhang, i use US [11:07] hello everyone [11:07] Raj007: and rerun 'sudo update-grub' after you boot into linuix [11:07] coraxx, speeds are less than 1 kbps [11:08] tazz, the servers sometimes have issues, then come back. be patient [11:08] tazz: ok...a bandwith issue. Then as bazhang recommends, use a server closer to you. (maybe also check your own internet connection) [11:08] I am trying to use Google Chrome to read comics on this site: http://www.netcomics.com/comic/emperorscastle.htm [11:08] it opens a page but it doesn't display the content [11:08] in cairo dock can i change the animation settings on, opening and closing applications? [11:09] Dr_Willis: ahh it auto-detected it on update-grub [11:09] it works in Firefox, but I am trying to move to Chrome [11:09] thedark, you mean chromium from ubuntu repos? [11:09] bazhang, its not a problem for me, i have a local repo hosted , which syncs with the ones in .us :p [11:09] Google Chrome [11:09] I installed from the available .deb [11:09] thedark, 3rd party stuff? [11:10] I guess, yeah... Google's deb file... does that mean you can't help me? [11:10] Dr_Willis: i still have an old entry for an old windows on grub menu, how can i remove that? [11:10] what is the best version in linux [11:10] in cairo dock can i change the animation settings on, opening and closing applications? [11:10] thedark, dont know it, try to remove some extension I suppose [11:10] Dr_Willis: next it should ask me username/password during installation? [11:10] Raj007: proberly can. but i rarely bother. :) [11:11] javahorn_: i think so.. i dont memorize the installer sequence [11:11] dashka: http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major [11:11] thedark: chrome fails here.. firefox works also.. looks like its using some fancy javascript stuff [11:11] Dr_Willis: yeah i got 4 hard drives, so, old entries around one of them. I can live with it, but was just wondering. [11:11] philinux, he/she meant im client [11:11] could you try opening the free preview comic with chromium, if you have it? [11:11] yeah [11:12] bazhang: dand irc only half the chat I got [11:12] I think it is a javacript issue... can you suggest any fiddling with the options or something? [11:12] thedark: google chrome -> 8.0.552.215. [11:12] tkans [11:12] thedark: fails. [11:12] thedark, I'll check with chromium [11:12] cool, thanks a bunch! [11:13] Dr_Willis I see... [11:13] Dr_Willis: oh, i did forget to thank you btw :) [11:13] :) [11:13] thedark, that seems to require an account afaict [11:13] ah... [11:13] bazhang: the preview/free feature shows a few pages for free [11:14] Dr_Willis, works for you? [11:14] bazhang: chrome no.. FF yes [11:14] aha [11:14] http://www.netcomics.com/viewer_2006/preview.htm?cuid=117&vuid=1927&vs=1280&is_free=1.

[11:14] thedark, so its a flash issue then [11:14] extra . in a url = bad :) [11:14] bazhang: i dont think its usinf flash. [11:15] is it using flash? [11:15] or some java? [11:15] yeah I think it is javascript, I don't really know though [11:15] hello [11:16] bazhang: javascript - from what i am reading in the 'view source' [11:16] thedark, seems to be [11:16] Dr_Willis, thanks [11:16] report a bug to the web site. :) [11:16] do we need firewall using ooboontoo ? [11:16] livingdaylight: depends on your needs.. and what you are running [11:17] Dr_Willis, running ubuntu [11:17] livingdaylight: for most people.. the answer is 'no' [11:17] I guess I will have to keep Firefox around just for reading some Korean comics then :( [11:17] livingdaylight, what version are you running [11:17] livingdaylight: running ubuntu.. wow. :) how specific can ya get.. heh.. [11:17] thanks for trying everyone [11:17] bazhang, 10.10 [11:17] thedark: file a bug with the site. or they mey never fix it. :) [11:17] livingdaylight, pastebin your sources.list please [11:17] Dr_Willis, did you mean specific application? [11:17] *nod* [11:18] livingdaylight: ubuntu can do anything from run on a cell phone to a mega-server farm.. so wether or not you need a firewall depends on how you are using it. [11:19] and toaster ovens.. yea.. dont forget toaster ovens. [11:19] in cairo dock can i change the animation settings on, opening and closing applications?

Wie heißt das Paket? [11:20] LiquidDemocracy, english please [11:20] Ups. Sorry. [11:21] for some reason my ping to router gets 'destination host unreachable' but i can ping the DNS and i can surf the net [11:21] I use Xubuntu and would like to install Open Office. What is the name of the package? [11:21] the package manager has a search feature. :) [11:22] also after i 'route add' the proper route for my LAN it says destination unreacahble for ther outer [11:22] apt-cache search openoffice [11:22] either openoffice.org or libreoffice (?) [11:23] openoffice.org - office productivity suite [11:23] silly .org nameing scheme. :) [11:23] I always thought so too ;) [11:24] in cairo dock, the application list, is not there when choosing none on "Behaivor of the Taskbar", how do i show it?

[11:29] Might be the best way.. :) you want a way that may not work? [11:30] ok thanks, so i restart then choose recovery mode from grub? [11:30] Poor apt - dosent like it when you kill it in mid install/update/upgrade [11:30] insanity99, yep [11:31] ok thanks [11:32] in cairo dock, the application list is not there, when choosing none on "Behaivor of the Taskbar", how do i show it? [11:32] sorry, what is the etiquette for asking questions? [11:32] Why does network ignore my /etc/hosts? :( [11:32] stuart: just ask in a clear concice term. on one line if you can. [11:32] ljsoftnet, #cairo-dock has a channel if you dont get an answer here [11:32] redbox: clarify what you are doing exactly. [11:33] bazhang ok [11:33] <[deXter]> Hi all, I'm on a Dell Studio 16 (ATI 3680). My touchpad mouse fails to work after resuming from suspend. Any ideas how to fix it, or how to restart the touchpad driver? Thanks. [11:34] hi [11:34] Dr_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] anyone knows a program to Convert SQLLite to MDB [11:34] ? [11:35] redbox: so you are using some ad-blocking type of complex hosts file to blacklist sites. [11:36] Dr_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 127.0.0.1 [11:36] Dr_Willis: Right. Ads, Malware, Dangerous / Fake Domain Names, Stupid Websites. [11:37] Dr_Willis: Is there a limit on /etc/hosts? It's a whooping 3.1 MB [11:38] <[deXter]> Wow, that's a lot of blocked sites.. [11:38] anyone knows a program to Convert SQLLite to MDB ? [11:38] is there a way to start a programm on the console telling ubuntu to use all cores of the system? [11:38] [deXter]: If you live in rural area, every bit counts. When this work, I'll use it on the linux router. Thin out the silliness. [11:39] <[deXter]> redbox: Well why don't you just use Adblock for firefox [11:39] hi. what could cause terminal to start up when ubuntu starts up? it's not among start-up programs [11:39] <[deXter]> it's far more efficient than a large hosts file which is an ugly hack [11:39] I need a remote-desktop software to connect to my dedicated server what should i Use? [11:39] in cairo dock, the application list is not there, when choosing none on "Behaivor of the Taskbar", how do i show it? [11:39] amin, vnc [11:40] !vnc | amin [11:40] amin: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [11:40] [deXter]: It's not a hack. Not at all. :\ [11:40] redbox: no idea. i havent used that old blacklist-ad site via hosts method in years [11:40] redbox: as a test, try specific blocks with a smaller file.. and build up. [11:40] hi [11:40] badbyte: if the programs are progbramed right. they should automcaiclly use the cores. === administrator is now known as Guest19091 [11:41] <[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 instead [11:41] amin: connect via command line = SSH. a GUI = freenx, or vnc, or X forwareding over SSH [11:41] <[deXter]> redbox: along with AdBlock for firefox [11:41] [deXter]: OpenDNS = Ads. Oh wait. Pay for it to get ad-free, right? [11:41] kartagis: which one freenx freenxrdp freenx-server? [11:41] redbox: i never notice any ads... :) [11:41] <[deXter]> redbox: OpenDNS != ads, I don't know what you're talking about. And it's free. :/ [11:42] amin, choose the one suitable to you [11:42] opendns can reroute pagenot found tupe stuff to uits own search page.. [11:42] what u mean? [11:42] but thats also fixable [11:42] i do not make my own computer servre [11:42] <[deXter]> yep [11:42] [deXter]: Think big, not small. One router will do the job for all connected nodes, Adblocks will only work on one machine. Adblock does not exist for my phone browser with Wifi. What can I do? ;) [11:42] I am the client [11:42] amin, what OS does your DS run? [11:43] ubuntu 10.04 x86 [11:43] 32bit [11:43] [deXter]: Yeah. You gave up your browsing histroy to OpenDNS for lulz. :) [11:43] amin, run vino-server on DS, vinagre as client [11:44] <[deXter]> redbox: well personally I don't use opendns anymore, firefox + adblock works just fine for me. === max is now known as Guest16187 [11:44] amin, if you can run X on the DS, you should be able to run vino-preferences [11:44] Gaat nou ff [11:44] ;] [11:44] rexort ;] [11:44] dunkert`:] [11:45] kartagis: ds is free know should I install genome kde of KVM [11:45] gnome [11:47] kartagis: install VINAGRE on my os or on my DS [11:49] amin your own os [11:51] Hi, I use the gnome display preferences to configure my external screen, but now I have a problem. At work I use one kind of external monitor, and at home I use another. When I try to detect monitors at home, the one from work shows up, and I cannot select the correct resolution... Does anyone know what to do? [11:53] Hi [11:53] hi [11:53] Morten_: you are rebooting after you switch from one to the other? or using hibernate/suspend? [11:53] was the guy from a few days ago in here talking about emacs? [11:53] Hi ! I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10. But the installer doesnt show me all hdd, only one. I have sda,sdb,sdc. sda is empty 750 GB where ubuntu should be installed. But it doesnt show up at all, only sdb which is my win7. sdc doesnt show up, too [11:54] Can I install Ubuntu Netbook edition on netbook with 2GB SSD? [11:54] Metalik: should be able to.. but it may be a little tight for any real work. [11:54] but theres always usb flash drives for data :) [11:54] and any updates/upgrades may fill up your /var/cache real real fast [11:54] <[deXter]> MetaBot: Not recommended as it'll be really slow. SSDs work well if you have lots of free space [11:55] Dr_Willis, using suspend === imp___ is now known as imp_ [11:55] I know. I got stupid Asus EEE PC 701 2GB with Windows but I want to install UBUNTU :D [11:55] <[deXter]> MetaBot: I suggest just buying a 16GB USB flash drive and running your system off it, you can use unetbootin to make the usb disc [11:55] Morten_: try not using suspend then. is my first suggestion [11:55] 16gb flash are getting reasnable. [11:55] i'm running irssi through emacs...this is pretty cool [11:56] Us3r_Unfriendly: thats scary :) [11:56] Dr_Willis, ok thanks - hoped for another solution though :) [11:56] Dr_Willis: why do you say that? [11:56] Us3r_Unfriendly: emacs would be a good OS.. it just needs a decent text editor. :) [11:56] how to resume broken downloads? [11:56] Dr_Willis: i mean i'm running irssi from emacs the text editor, not the os [11:56] * Dr_Willis thinks Us3r_Unfriendly missed the joke. [11:56] <[deXter]> Morten_: Well you could run a lighter OS than ubuntu.. like Slitaz [11:57] lol [11:57] I have 16GB drive, but can Ubuntu Netbook Edition be installed on 2GB SSD succesfully? [11:57] I need GUI [11:57] [deXter], why would a lighter OS help? [11:57] Metalik: installed - yes.. run - well.. that may get harder.. since theres lots of space needed for stuff after install. [11:57] Dr_Willis: well there are thousands of distros out there, who's to say there isn't a emacs distro?? [11:57] <[deXter]> Morten_: Lighter as in smaller sized.. Slitaz is just about 50 MB [11:57] Us3r_Unfriendly: there proberly IS. :) [11:57] <[deXter]> Metalik: and yes, Slitaz has a full fledged GUI and package manager, check the website out [11:58] Dr_Willis: It did the trick. Weird. #_# [11:58] redbox: what did? i forget... [11:58] Dr_Willis: Rebooting the machine. /etc/hosts. [11:58] Metalik: if you want 'small disrto' tiny core linux... [11:58] Puppy. [11:58] 2 dexter : I am noob in linux, but can I play minecraft with that Slitaz? [11:58] I cant stand puppy much any more. but i havent tried the latest versions. :) [11:59] Metalik: I have an eeepc that has a 4gig disk that is barly big enuf for me [11:59] i'm playing music, i'm in irc and I'm configurating my xorg.conf through one emacs windows. that's serious multitaskin'. I think vim might be beat on this one [11:59] I wonder how big an install of Lubuntu is these days. [11:59] Dr_Willis: openbox + tint2 + chromium. That's it. :) [11:59] That's good enough for minimalism. [11:59] lynx? Meh. Good for scripts but I can't handle it all times. [12:00] Can I play Minecraft with Slitaz?

[12:40] erUSUL, yes it reads all CD/DVD but not the blank one-like it even isn't in there [12:40] for an external usb 'hard drive' (not a flash drive) is the read speeds more of a bottle neck then the write speeds? seems its Much slower on my server going usb hd1 to usb hd2 , then to/from USBhd <-> internal disk [12:40] Or am i just a victom of the 'usb hd speeds are slow in ubuntu' problem that i see in here ever so often.

[12:43] erUSUL, okay, thx anyway for help [12:43] Dr_Willis: it all goes through the same hub so a different controller may make it a bit smoother [12:43] Is it completely untrusted by the whole community?

[13:40] !lamp [13:40] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL.

[13:43] I'm looking into cloning my hard drive, and all of the examples online I can find have the destination be a completely formatted hard drive, but I'm wondering if there is a way to have it be an unformatted portion of a hard drive that already has a partition on it [13:43] !clone [13:43] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate [13:44] deckard: could use rsync too, or dd [13:44] where can i find a port list, one that gives me a full port list ??, thanks [13:44] ActionParsnip: like for instance i do not want childUserA to have access to terminal, but I want ParentUserA to have access to terminal [13:44] deckard: depends on how you define a 'clone' :) [13:44] deckard: you could dd the first hd into an image file on a filesystem on a larger backup hd. [13:45] that would be a good start, as a backup [13:45] deckard: you can also clone/backup/dd specific partitions. not the whole hd. (which makes things easier actually) [13:45] or use a tool like fsarchiver. [13:45] it all depends on what you want to do with the backups [13:45] deja-dup works great for backup, for me. ;) [13:45] so what I want to do with the backup is restore my Windows system [13:45] to a partition on another drive [13:46] if that's possible [13:46] deckard: 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] redbox: i have problem with restaring system, i must pull reset becouse my ubuntu stop on "restarting system" [13:47] ActionParsnip: Or like, I do not want childUserA to change or add desktop icons, but I want that there is no such restriction for ParentUserA [13:47] How would I write thefollowing correctly in a debian/rules makefile? [13:47] if [ -e /etc/dpkg/origins/default] then [13:47] ifeq ($(shell dpkg-vendor --derives-from Ubuntu && echo yes),yes) [13:47] dh_gencontrol -- -Vdist:Depends="postgresql-contrib-8.4, postgresql-8.4-postgis" [13:47] else [13:47] ulrichard_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

It seems like my xorg.conf only has video settings in it [13:48] Hi All trying to blacklist a driver and having no success. [13:48] Any help would be appreciated. [13:49] Dr_Willis: but all the examples I've seen use an unformatted drive for the "of" argument of dd [13:49] hi all [13:49] I must say ubutun 10.10 is a big improvement over 8.* [13:49] er I can't type [13:49] so my question is: is that the only way it will work, or can I use a partition of the destination drive? [13:49] deckard: dd doesnt care if the hdd/partition is format or not, dd will just overwrote EVERYTHING you define in of= [13:49] My wireless USB is loading the wrong driver and it wont connect to the internet. [13:50] right, so I understand it will do *something*, but will it do what I want? :-) [13:50] deckard: you can of=/path/to/a/filename [13:50] will that partition be bootable as Windows after [13:50] deckard: dd is doing what you tell dd [13:50] lol I know [13:51] Chads:so,you want to ban it? [13:51] You may want to look into fsarchiver. or some other 'tools' that are more feature-set designed., [13:51] deckard: if you also have a correct bootsector, yes [13:51] Yes Tan [13:51] iceroot: could you expand on that? [13:51] Hiyas [13:51] Blacklist it as it were and use the other one. [13:51] plan on fixing the boot records in any case.. :) at least learn HOW.. in case you need to. [13:52] My xorg.conf configuration only seems to have video settings...where would I find my mouse configuration so I can fix it? [13:52] But I have typed a few blacklist entries but it always pops up again in lsmod [13:52] deckard: 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 harddrive [13:53] is bootsector == MBR? [13:53] 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] deckard: the first 512bytes of a hdd [13:54] deckard: 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] ah. okay [13:54] I'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/3cg3b [13:54] and dd won't copy the bootsector in a partition, if there is one? [13:54] deckard: I can't see any reason it wouldn't. [13:54] deckard: if you copy the partition and there is a boot-sector, then dd will also copy the boot-sector [13:55] deckard: but not the mbr [13:55] ok. 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 windows [13:55] is that a correct understanding? [13:55] can anyone direct me to a complete port list for ubuntu ?? [13:55] deckard: not sure what your goal is... I recently recovered a corrupt partition table with testdisk... [13:55] The problem with dd is that if you have nothing on your system, it still dd the empty bits. :\ [13:55] wn1zid: /etc/services [13:55] deckard: yes thats correct. [13:55] ulrichard_: better ask in ##c or in #workingset [13:56] ok, ill give it a whirl, thx [13:56] Hey 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 runni [13:56] i tried that as root, permission denied [13:56] wn1zid: less /etc/services [13:56] ok [13:57] wn1zid: if you mean with port = network-port [13:57] Good morning guys [13:57] cool, 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 windows [13:57] all ports the machine has and uses [13:57] ulrichard_: use \ at the end of the lines [13:58] wn1zid: nmap hostname will show you any used (open) port until port 1024 of that machine [13:58] nice, ok, again, thanks [13:58] deckard you will have to chainload that partition, but if the partition is set up properly it should work [13:58] so 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] wn1zid: also netstat -pan is a good way to see what is going on [13:58] yeik: yeah that is what I'm doing now so that's fine [13:58] ya, thats the one i'm looking for [13:59] deckard: 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 work [13:59] where is my mouse configuration setup in ubuntu 10.10? (fresh install) [13:59] ok, i'm out, thanks ice799 [13:59] iceroot- [13:59] deckard: you dont make a partion in sdc2.. you can dd to a FILE on the sdc2 filesystem... [14:00] hi [14:00] redbox: http://wklej.org/id/483608 - this is my grub.cfg, and also search for floopy [14:00] floppy* [14:00] Dr_Willis: but if i dd to a file, that won't be usable in place of the old partition will it? [14:00] deckard: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/path/to/keep/the/image/file/fileimage.image bs=2048 [14:00] deckard: 'in place of' ? what do you mean... [14:00] what can i do when i want to watch .mkv movies and they dont play liquid? [14:00] deckard: you can mount image files if yopu wanted to.. or dd them back to a hard drive. [14:00] i want to actually *move* my windows installation to a new location, and get rid of the old HD [14:00] not just back it up [14:01] deckard: then you dd from one device to anotehr.. or to a file.. THEN from the file to a 2nd device [14:01] Dr_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] yeik: yes thats exactly what I want to do [14:01] deckard: copying from one hard drive to a NEW hard drive you are saying? [14:01] i think this would be easy if the destination was a blank drive [14:02] no, that's the thing [14:02] i have data on one partition of the drive i'm copying to, that i want to keep [14:02] deckard: the destitanon need to be either an emoty drive. OR a empty partition... yes. [14:02] deckard: back it up.. thats the bottom line.. data worth keeping = worth backing up [14:02] yes of course :-) [14:02] What file system should I use for a file server? The size will potentially be 24TB (8x3TB disks) in RAID 6. [14:02] deckard: its doable. but you need to be VERY carefull how you use dd. [14:03] <[segfault]> spl0it: look under System/Preferences/Mouse on the Gnome menus [14:03] right [14:03] dd 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] deckard: you already have the partition created? it might be worth dd'ing the data partition to a file, then dd'ing the partition over. [14:04] i dont have it created yet, i didn't want to bother until i was confident this would even work [14:04] segfault: 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] i might just end up getting a new HD since it sounds like that will be much easier :-) [14:04] segfault: aren't loaded properly (not all of the buttons work, etc) [14:05] deckard: 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] yeah that's what I'm thinking [14:05] Any help blacklisting a driver? [14:05] <[segfault]> spl0it: did you check your xorg.conf? [14:05] for now maybe i'll just use dd to back up my 1st hard drive to a file on the 2nd [14:05] how to see if I have a 32 or 64 bit processor? [14:06] then if i get a third i can just swap it with the first and use dd to restore the backups [14:06] <[segfault]> spl0it: oops missed that message.. sry. [14:06] deckard that would probably work. === Guest51411 is now known as kernelpanic [14:06] * yeik is going to run. [14:06] later.

[14:26] iceroot, maybe, but my ISP also known as my college don't confirm this is their problem, I really don't know what to do, I have been finding solutions to this for several days. [14:27] iceroot, thanks! [14:28] eXpLoD: the nautilus scripts are good for that [14:28] hi, im missing a partition table on my raid5. can someone please help me repair this? [14:28] ok, when i minimize xchat to tray, i no longer have access to it, even though its still running in the background [14:28] when I did "fg" it, it tells me no such job [14:29] jeaton: right click panel -> add item then add "windows list" [14:29] jeaton: you can use alt+tab to switch it in and out without it though :) [14:31] ActionParsnip, that only shows what's currently active [14:31] it doesnt recover my xchat that is running in the background right now [14:31] xchat has some feature to minimize to the system-tray i recall. [14:32] !panel [14:32] !panels [14:32] To reset the gnome panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:32] jeaton: that will put the panels to default [14:32] ill try it [14:34] I wonder if this is one of the reasons they locked down thepanels so much in the next release.. [14:34] hmm, still didnt work [14:35] I do recall xchat having some 'minimize to system tray option' [14:35] and also indicator [14:36] When I hover my mouse over the time, it says click to view your appointments and tasks. However, when I click, it does not show any appointments or tasks, nor does it show any fields where I can enter anything. How do I add timers/reminders?

[14:46] if I rotate with imagemagick's convert utility some pic to +30deg and then -30deg back, it looses quality, anyone have any idea about this ? for example : convert -rotate 30 p.jpg q.jpg; convert -rotate -30 q.jpg q.jpg <-- and now compare p.jpg(original) with q.jpg(rotated +30deg and -30deg back to original position) [14:46] [segfault], besides, I already have an email program: thunderbird. [14:47] man irc [14:48] <[segfault]> dsnyders: Yeah, I know how you feel. I prefer TB also, but Evolution is bundled with the distro, so I'm getting used to it.

[15:04] i extract the files out [15:04] zallos: you need to learn the basics befor you try compiling stuff from source.. that you dont need to be compiling in the first place [15:04] A Guide to Efficiently Using Irssi and Screen [15:04] !find ppstream [15:04] Package/file ppstream does not exist in maverick [15:04] i tried running wine with it [15:04] zallos: theres no need for the file, just run software centre and search for thunderbird, it will then install [15:05] server_: do you have any firewalling in place? [15:05] Guys i have installed thunderbird now [15:05] question is how do i install / compile tar.gz files [15:05] ActionParsnip: i don't have firewalling on the pcs (i have both disabled the firewall software and the iptables) [15:05] i use terminal to ./configure but no such file or command [15:05] zallos: you extraxt the source.. install the needed dev packages and compile.. and hope it works. [15:06] zallos: not all source code uses the ./configure method. theres a dozen ways.. [15:06] dev packages ? [15:06] where do i get that? [15:06] I am having trouble with HDMI audio not playing audio, only video. Acer Aspire 5741G with nVidia GT320M. Under sound prefs, -> Hardware; I have chosen HD Audio controller, Output; have chosen HD Audio controller digital stereo. I have also downloaded nVidia proprietary drivers v. 260.19.06, and checked alsamixer that nothing was muted there,,, any ideas? [15:06] zallos: thats why we hammer on using the package manager....

[15:07] \join #test [15:07] roger [15:08] have a problem with sony vaio e series, mounting hdd takes too long time n results in slow boot of ubuntu takes more that 2 minites..to get me the login page [15:08] zallos: you compile 'source code' that fact its a tar/gz dosent matter.. and theres dozens of ways to do it.. theres no instant answer. [15:08] ok [15:08] show me the way u do it [15:08] So, in windows they had a window where you could actually test out Python code without making an actual script.. Is that there in Linux? [15:08] ActionParsnip: i get the 'destination host unreachabe' error when i try to ping 'em [15:08] i am using ubuntu 10.10 [15:08] zallos: extract, read the readme.txt follow the files directoins.. is the core of it all. [15:09] zallos: assuming you have all needed developer packages installed. [15:09] zallos: you DID read that !compile factoids web site yet? thats where to start [15:09] server_: try adding a route to the systems to manually define what is going on, see if it works [15:09] ok where do i get the dev packages like configure? [15:09] iw as told to ./configure [15:09] make [15:09] make install [15:09] and bingo [15:09] zallos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:09] zallos: 'in the package manager' [15:10] Anyone? [15:10] zallos: told by who/where? and you do need the build-essential and proberly 300+other packages isntalled to compile most complex software [15:10] zallos: what are you compiling? [15:10] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/971117/dev/ppstream_1.0.0-2%2Bxdg~ppa1_amd64.tar.gz [15:10] !info ppstream [15:10] Package ppstream does not exist in maverick [15:10] ahh [15:10] Protomega, open a terminal and type python [15:10] my mistake [15:11] Python is not defined. [15:11] well i tried to google for methods to install the tar.gz files [15:11] zallos: can you install .zip? [15:11] lexvegas: Should I learn linux itself before trying to do anything else? [15:11] anyone know how to get xtray on ubuntu? [15:11] extract and double click on exe lol [15:12] zallos: the fact that thing has a 'ppa1' in its name - tells us theres proberly a PPA for it that lets you use the package manager.. [15:12] Protomega, at least the basics. it would help a lot.

I am a very beginner and I encounter a problem while setting an adhoc connection hosted by Ubuntu for a xp pc. I followed an ubuntu tutorial, the xp pc gets connected to my adhoc, but impossible to get any internet. I do not understand where to look ^^ [15:13] lemme rephrase: I would like alerts in xchat for channels that are not focused. #xchat told me that the solution is to install x-tray, and that if I do not have it, I should ask in my distro channel, which would be here. [15:13] Protomega, check pylint, it may be what you're lookin for [15:13] hmmm package manager is the archive manager? [15:13] it only lets me extract [15:13] zallos: what are you trying to install? [15:13] I will as soon as I finish up reading the firs thing BluesKaj :) [15:14] zallos: package manager handles installing/removeing/updateing.. the fact the .deb packages are compressed archives.. is not really relavant. [15:14] yoann674, have you set the eth0 or whatever your lan card is on the ubuntu machine to "shared" under the network manager? [15:14] and i get 4 folders etc lib32 opt and usr [15:14] zallos: you DONT want to be using stuff you just 'download' from some dropbox site... [15:14] zallos: then its a binary, not source [15:14] lahwran i am trying to install this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/971117/dev/ppstream_1.0.0-2%2Bxdg~ppa1_amd64.tar.gz [15:14] Might I ask; What is the one thing that made you say to yourself "I'm sticking with Linux". [15:14] yeah i got it running!! [15:14] I have not touched it, i go look for that !

[15:15] !find tycable [15:15] File tycable found in dvb-apps [15:15] wow Dr Willis! [15:15] tycable: hah nice [15:15] yoann674, right click the network icon, and choose edit connections. fine your card and pick edit. go to IPv4 and change from DHCP to shared to other computers [15:15] lemme try that out === Guest89416 is now known as tvxq [15:16] I want to run mysql on this box but possibly access it from another computer networked on the same network, is there anything different I need to do to the Passwords? [15:16] Protomega, workspaces and the ability to change ANYTHING i want as opposed to what microsoft wants me to change [15:17] lexvegas: Wait so is it true that everything on Linux, even Ubuntu, can be customized in anyway you could possibly imagine? [15:18] lexvegas: what sort of customisations are you running right now? [15:18] tuzlo: just connect to the sql socket from another PC. Should be ok [15:18] Protomega: if you need to customise it somehow you can, because its open source, thats the point [15:18] ActionParsnip, this will work with the root login as well? [15:18] have a problem with sony vaio e series, mounting hdd takes too long time n results in slow boot of ubuntu takes more that 2 minites..to get me the login page [15:18] Protomega: although in real terms its not often customised by individuals but by groups who have some specific requirment [15:18] everything can be changed, but its prolly not a good idea [15:18] Protomega: Yes. It is true. Most people just stick with whatever Canonical gave them. [15:19] [ 42.670485] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

[15:19] vskram21: sony support site [15:19] I'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/3cg3b [15:20] compdoc: Why is that? [15:20] red2kic: Same question as I gave to compdoc -- Why is that? [15:21] because most settings are already correct [15:21] stefg: i don't have windows can i do that in ubuntu 10.10 64 bit? [15:21] Ubuntu ROCKS UR SOCKS OFF! [15:21] Protomega: 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] hi there xc [15:22] please help me repair my raid5! i cant find my partition table [15:22] Darael: what is the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf use http://pastie.org to host the output, thanks [15:22] Protomega: 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] Protomega: 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] Protomega: When you buy a machine, it came with Windows. You assume you have to use whatever that thing is. [15:22] Darael: For the fun of it :P [15:22] vskram21: i don't know about sony supprt practices.my usual thinkpads got their bios updates by downloadable .iso-images which i burn to cd and boot from there === gerald is now known as Guest37010 [15:23] Protomega: Sure, if it's not a machine that you need working! [15:23] yoann792, youhave to make sure that the card that your internet if coming to is set to DHCP and the card that is shared to is set to shared [15:23] stefg: thank u [15:23] red2kic: I actually stuck with Windows because I tried Ubuntu and was so intimidated, and I didn't know there was an IRC community full of willing people to help. [15:23] ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1613341 [15:23] Darael: 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. [15:24] ok i go checking that =) [15:24] Protomega, everything, including stuff you probably shouldnt ;) [15:24] red2kic: I submit that "I don't like it" is a very good reason. [15:24] Darael: ok try: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer [15:24] species, i run desktop wall with a few custom shortcuts for the switching functions [15:24] Darael: then open a browser to some flash content like: http://www.rathergood.com/blode2 [15:24] hello - i want to play an mms:// url in ubuntu for streaming - how can i do that? thanks. [15:25] Protomega: 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] yoann792, and you have to restart the ubuntu machine to share the internet [15:25] vskram21: 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 back [15:25] Darael: True... I accidentally installed Ubuntu over Windows which is sort of okay, but I got rid of Autodesk Maya and Unity.. Now I need to hope that both Maya and Unity are compatible with Ubuntu. [15:25] oh ok i try [15:25] Protomega: http://appdb.winehq.org is your friend. [15:26] Protomega: You're better off using Autodesk Maya on Windows. Some people have multiple OS. Use Windows if you have to... for work and such. It's your choice. [15:26] Protomega: check the geeks at #winehq [15:27] red2kic: Yea, I just have to figure out how to split this partition up so I can place Windows on it -- I would go with Wine but I actually would prefer using Windows for Maya and Unity. [15:27] ActionParsnip: It complains (as expected) about a missing plugin. === rian is now known as Ryan_j-com [15:28] Protomega: is the machine powerful enough to be able to accept some performance loss by virtualization? [15:28] stefg: http://pastebin.com/pAK4w2zC [15:28] hello - i want to play an mms:// url in ubuntu for streaming - how can i do that? thanks. [15:28] hi [15:28] hello people [15:29] where are you from? [15:29] goldeneye: VLC, my wild guess. [15:29] plz give me us skype [15:29] !skype | Worms [15:29] Worms: 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 !Ekiga [15:29] stefg: No, it really needs as much performance as it can get. [15:29] vskram21: i'll have a look [15:29] goldeneye: I suggest using VLC (it's in the Software Centre). You can probably use Totem (AKA Movie Player) but I know it can be done in VLC and I prefer it anyway. [15:29] stefg: there is a bios update available but it's in exe format will that work over wine.? [15:29] USA? [15:29] What file system should I use for a file server? The size will potentially be 24TB (8x3TB disks) in RAID 6. Reliability is king, speed is not an issue since it'll server over CIFS/NFS. [15:29] vskram21: no... the exe is probably a self extracting archive [15:29] skydubble: This is a support channel; there's people from all over. For chat, I suggest #ubuntu-offtopic. [15:29] rizzuh: ext4 if you ask me [15:30] Darel - ok thanks. should it be straightforward in terms if olaying the url? === ogra_ is now known as ogra [15:30] us no have skype? [15:30] Worms: its in the partner repo [15:30] ppl. i have a pretty weird issue. i have one wireless router with 2 connected PCs to it. the pcs can ping the router & are connected to the internet (both of them). but they cannot ping eachother. is there a solution for this? [15:30] There are a few things I don't understand... Like why Windows hasn't implemented features like multiple workspaces. [15:31] Protomega: so dual boot is the way for you... have some external disk to backup your entire internal disk ? [15:31] Worms: you're from germany; right? [15:31] !info skype | Worms [15:31] Worms: Package skype does not exist in maverick [15:31] stefg: Um... I have a 1TB External Harddrive if that's what you were asking.

[15:31] no i from rus [15:32] ppl. i have a pretty weird issue. i have one wireless router with 2 connected PCs to it. the pcs can ping the router & are connected to the internet (both of them). but they cannot ping eachother. is there a solution for this? [15:32] yoann578, no problem. glad you got it working! [15:32] me too ! :p see you ! [15:32] hi all, I'm trynig to install 10.10 on an eeepc 901, it goes well untill reboot where it gets stuck on a black screen displaying : "(process:309):GLib-WARNING : getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)" Can someone help? [15:32] server_, maybe your router filters ping requests? or maybe a firewall? [15:32] Protomega: i was just asking because it seems likely that you have to repartiton your hd. Without a backup this can be nerve-wrecking :-\ [15:33] I simply want to practise my English give me the skype [15:33] goldeneye: Sorry for response-delay. It should be, yes. [15:33] !skype [15:33] 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 !Ekiga [15:33] stefg: Yea it probably will be.. Mind if I come on here for help when I get to that point in time? [15:33] Worms: in a terminal type: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype [15:34] server_, do you want to connect the pcs thru the LAN , then try ssh as longas they're both linux machines , otherwise try smb or samba [15:34] Worms: all of that in one command [15:34] hellooo worm [15:34] ðóääù [15:34] hello [15:34] how do I get my canon digital camera to come up on my computer? [15:34] ActionParsnip: (this just in case you missed the last one; sorry for repeat) Purging flashplugin-installer and loading a page including a flash results, as expected, in a complaint about a missing plugin. [15:34] server_, of course smb and samba work on a linux network as well [15:35] lexvegas: router & other firewalls have been disabled. [15:35] Darael: ok then install flashplugin-nonfree and restart the browser [15:35] whois [15:35] server_, thats all I have, sorry [15:35] If installing ubuntu at my computer, Can I use Itunes?? [15:35] BluesKaj: they're connected via wifi. i can't even ping the machines. how can i use samba then? [15:35] hey do u help me in linux [15:35] skydubble: you can use rhythmbox, banshee, amarok,e tc [15:35] no skydubble, but you can use rythmbox to sync your ipod touch / ipod's / iphone [15:35] us no have skype?) [15:35] i need to change the permissions of a folder (FGFS), to do so I need the CHMOD command, but I dont knoe the exact line to type: is it sudo chmod [username here] [path to folder] ? [15:35] nash__: you haven't say your problem [15:36] Worms: we have already told you how [15:36] <[segfault]> server_: if you are sure that no software firewalls are blocking ICMP, you could check with a direct pc to pc lan connection to rule things out. [15:36] hey, my Atheros AR9285 keeps cugtting out in ubuntu 10.10, any help? [15:36] anyone familiar with the drupal and LAMP installation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Drupal I have installed this as per the directions but when I got to Drupal's install.php it tells me theree are no clean URL's but I checked the file and the changes were made and apache was rebooted [15:36] Worms: do you want to install skype or you want someone to talk to on skype?

[15:39] >.> Okay so what exactly is the difference? Just how the memory is allocated or? [15:40] [segfault]: that isn't that easy ;D [15:40] -o nash [15:40] Protomega: The size of the CPU's registers is the primary factor. A 64-bit machine can handle more RAM, and is faster at crunching large numbers, which is good for stuff like video rendering. [15:40] <[segfault]> server_: isn't that the way of things :P [15:41] [segfault]: probably yeah :D [15:41] #nexus [15:41] Somehow I managed to associate opeing Places>Folder with Audacious.

[15:54] only the booting is very slow and once i get my gnome up every thing is o.k.. i am able to share file at the rate of 40Mbps.

[15:57] Protomega: gconf-editor (did anybody say regedit?) [15:57] I'm pretty sure my xubuntu crash is caused by mozilla's flash plugin. Any solutions? [15:57] erusul, do you also have FGFS installed as root? [15:57] wine's regedit is a different program ;P [15:57] hey 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. I can boot a liveCD if I remove the hard drive but then I want to reinstall using ext4. Is it possible to pass kernel flags to prevent the btrfs module from loading? [15:58] Protomega: 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-manager [15:58] hihihi100: yes;but i do not play that much. installed it as curiosity [15:58] erUSUL: I want to see if I can make it so holding Shift+Ctrl+Alt and then pressing an arrow key would set the current window to move to the corresponding workspace.

However, I had to cut the power off and I suppose it lost data. The hdd is new - about 6 months and has been working fine since [16:01] slinzex: is a windows program in wine? [16:01] stefg: unless btrfs broke it somehow but I doubt it [16:01] !appdb | slinzex [16:01] slinzex: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [16:01] ok stefg i will boot again and check this out [16:01] ActionParsnip: With Opera, flash doesn't recognise pressing the shift key in the first place! [16:01] erUSUL yes is a windows programs in wine [16:01] vskram21: nevertheless your root ext4 filesystem is corrupted and needed/needs repair at every boot... you should think over that. I had trouble with ext4, too. As i found out out it was a bad stick of ram [16:01] slinzex: check support in the appdb [16:01] hey there! when i start Xephyr with "Xephyr -ac -screen 1280x1024 -br -reset -terminate 2> /dev/null :1 &" how can i start a specific window manager inside that xephyr window then?

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] armence [16:02] slinzex: 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] stefg: I think the message was something about a sector and expecting 6200 but getting 6002 (lol at that description) [16:02] armence: virtualbox [16:02] armence: virtualbox is easy to setup [16:03] Naeblis: 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 debugging [16:03] armence: there are other ways to do that. Look at chroot [16:03] s5s: have you fsck'ed the btrfs partition ? does btrfs has a fsck ? [16:03] Darael yes but, I need the best PDF viewer witch let's me make annotations in pdf [16:03] erUSUL: I don't think it has [16:03] slinzex: there is no best [16:03] erUSUL: btrfs doesn't have a working fsck in Maverick. [16:04] slinzex: you can use pdfedit to edit pdf files [16:04] s5s: Btrfs trouble? What's the issue? [16:04] Darael if you check PDF xchange viewer it has a lot of functions to make annotations [16:04] s5s: well it does ;P [16:04] s5s: 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] s5s: 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 step [16:04] jtniehof: so it willask my permission each time before running any flash content? seems inconvenient :( [16:05] stefg: I plugged it but the LiveCD running doesn't see it. dmesg doesn't show it's in... [16:05] Naeblis: 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] ActionParsnip but pdfEdit is bad for me [16:05] Hmm. 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. I have no xorg.conf and my xorg.conf.d directory has no relevant files [16:06] s5s: i'd use something like sysrescd for plumbing .... [16:06] !rescue [16:06] To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" [16:06] bah [16:06] jtniehof: thanks, installing it :) [16:06] !sysrescd [16:06] Darael: I had Ubuntu with btrfs with /boot / and /home (/boot was ext4 actually). How I had to cut the power to reboot and the kernel goes in a loop when trying to load the btrfs module complaining about expecting a value 6200 and getting 6002 at some sector [16:07] ActionParsnip: I don't need to edit. Just need to make annotations while I'm reading pdf files. [16:07] /j #crunchbang [16:07] Ok, for some reason it's installed the nvidia graphics driver, but isn't running it. [16:07] s5s: you might consider resetting your bios [16:07] s5s: I had that issue - or a similar one. Have you tried loading an old kernel? If that doesn't work, It may be a corrupted log tree. [16:07] hi, everyone, I have a problem with frozen dpkg process and I can't kill it, I tried everything (except reboot). can somebody help me? [16:08] Darael: I only have one kernel. Live CD nor the HDD install will boot [16:08] Darael: both panic when the btrfs module is loaded [16:08] s5s: Do you get a shell eventually? Busybox, it would be, IIRC... [16:09] How can I check if my UBUNTU has the latest updates for all progs? [16:09] Is there an easier way to resize windows other than trying to pick the edge? [16:09] Darael: I'll try and do it again. I'll reboot and be back to tell you wether I've managed to log in. Otherwise I logged in using a LiveCD by removing the HDD [16:10] Darael: and I'm using web irc [16:10] slinzex: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade. [16:10] protomega: use alt+f8 [16:10] * stefg finds himself once more acknowledged by preferring xfs for most of his filesystems .... broken ext4 here, non-booting btrfs there .....

If there are newer versions that aren't in the repos, you'd have to compile them yourself - easier to stick to the repo versions. If you're really sure you want the newest version of things, consider moving to Debian unstable. [16:11] Darael: I've done this, but still having some issues. I think I have problems with sources [16:11] slinzex: Apologies, the above was intended for you. [16:11] slinzex: Pastebin any errors you're getting, please.

[16:12] Undecided,New :/ [16:15] stefs: how do i test if my RAM is proper.? [16:16] vskram21: Memtest86+ is installed by default. When booting your machine, hold shift immediately after the BIOS screen and you should get a GRUB menu. Choose the memtest option to run tests on your RAM. [16:16] vskram21: The above assumes you have Ubuntu installed. If not, run an Ubuntu live CD and choose the memory test from the initial menu on that. [16:17] hey people I just changed my monitor, but it is not getting detected, its a compaq monitor some years old [16:18] the resolution is set to 800x600 while I know the monitor can support more than tha [16:18] re there any tools to manage my grub2 stuff in the GUI?

You can at least use a graphical editor (eg gksu gedit /etc/default/grub) [16:22] Daghdha: You can look at startup-manager. It will let you change which OS is selected by default and the timout. [16:22] jogu: Give us a little more detail and someone will help if they recognise each problem. [16:22] interesting [16:23] Hi, all. Someone knows if the latest macbook pro graphics card (AMD Radeon HD 6490M) works in ubuntu? I have searched in amd website, ubuntu wiki and in other sites but I didn't found any reference about it. [16:23] pwnzrlolz: IIRC startup-manager works only with grub, not grub2. I could be wrong, of course. [16:23] It's pretty interesting, i've installed ubuntu many times before but im at a total loss here [16:23] if I try to install through wubi it says no root filesystem defined [16:23] darael: thank u [16:23] Darael: the description in package manager would indicate you are indeed correct [16:24] when I try to do a full install through the dvd it detects my hard drive but none of the partitions on it [16:24] Darael: Looking at startup-manager online it says it can handle grub2 [16:24] pwnzrlolz: Ah. Probably that version hasn't yet made it into Ubuntu, then, in light of what Daghda says. [16:24] im trying to dual boot with win7 so I need to make sure it recognizes that partion(instead of just saying the full 500GB of my hardrive is free space, which it's not) [16:24] 2008? [16:25] jogu: have you tried installing via wubi? [16:25] Yes, i mentioned i've tried it and it says no root filesystem defined [16:25] Screw Windows.. Honestly.. . hides folders and in Windows you have to do like three extra things that Ubuntu does with one extra character.

[16:26] help ! [16:27] jogu: can you boot into a live CD? [16:27] jogu: If it /is/ a corrupt partition table, install and run testdisk (in a live CD). That will at least help with that part. [16:27] jogu: sounds like your not installing with wubi and if so you must have done manual partition [16:27] sacarlson: AIUI jogu can't install at all, with wubi or as a full install. === canon is now known as Acid190 [16:28] SupeR_NovA: Is there any particular reason you need ksplice?

[16:30] thauriswulfa: in that case, try the youtube-dl package. [16:30] JT13: Any of those machines by chance windows or mac? [16:30] pragmaticenigma, Well I do not know I only know that towel thing and you would tell me something specific to this source [16:30] JT13, does the Disk Utility see it? [16:31] no all ubuntu but i do have a windows pragmaticenigma [16:31] darael: i tried it already, but it always say unable to download [16:31] and one sec compdoc let me check [16:31] what about fdisk -l [16:31] thauriswulfa: In that case, my next suggestion is the clive package. [16:32] JT13: I would see if you can get it to come up in device manager in windows... at least it would tell you that the drive is good... another test in ubuntu would be to run lsusb from the command line with the drive in, and again with the drive out... that would at least tell you the system is seeing the drive being plugged into the computer [16:32] JT13: also grab the ultimate boot cd and test the disk with the manufacturers tool [16:32] no need i think i found it /proc/keys [16:32] thanks all [16:32] what's the stable version of ubuntu?: [16:33] ActionParsnip, what do you mean?

[16:34] pragmaticenigma, ubuntu [16:35] JT13, I mean what filesystem do you want to use? Dont those only support fat? [16:35] JT13: if the disk manager can see it, you should be able to format it from there [16:35] JT13: I don't see any reason why formatting it from palimpsest (aka disk utility) wouldn't work.

[16:36] pragmaticenigma: thought you wanted drive testing.. [16:37] could anyone help me with how to download a piece of code from Launchpad? seems that bzr doesn't work like git or svn [16:37] ActionParsnip: No, JT13 needs to be able to get the drive formatted, all I was checking for was the device recognized in the system so he could still access it in some fashion [16:37] Venemo: bzr branch lp:~user/branch [16:37] no, if youre running most versions of linux, you can easily install it [16:37] okay I'm booted into a live cd what was it that I needed to install? testdisk? [16:37] pragmaticenigma, and soon will it take , Yet thanks to the comprehensive response [16:38] compdoc ok that is new and good to know i was undr the impression it was live cd only [16:38] jogu: Yeah, install testdisk and then run "sudo testdisk". [16:38] JT13, gparted now correctly handles creating partitions on 4k sector drives, and SSD, etc [16:38] thank you Darael [16:39] I should select Intel/PC partition right?

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] zeratul2k: what model laptop (kinda useful) [16:42] the computer is an HP probook 4710s0 [16:42] can someone please help me repair my raid? [16:42] zeratul2k, many laptops have power settings (including screen dimming) in the bios [16:42] ActionParsnip, authenticate, I have force user and force group [16:43] jogu: Sorry about that. Yes, you usually want that option. [16:43] if so, shouldn't that happen in all OSes? this only happens in Ubuntu [16:43] Anyone online that might help me? i`m having trouble installing fedora on my desktop pc [16:43] some OSes might just be better at over-riding the biso settings [16:43] bios [16:44] well, gonna go take a look at it then and be back in a few [16:44] zevonja: You'd be better off trying #fedora! [16:44] ActionParsnip, do I need that under [printers] also or just my share [16:44] zeratul2k: what type of graphics card does your machine have in it? [16:44] so now I would want to analyse the partition structure? [16:44] bummer... just missed him [16:44] Darael, ? [16:44] jogu: That's right. [16:45] zevonja: feddora isn't supported here [16:45] oh my bad [16:45] zevonja: 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] i meant to say ubuntu [16:45] sorry guys [16:45] jogu: 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 ubuntu [16:45] may i tell you the problem ? [16:45] zevonja: Ah, OK, that's fine. In that case, could we have a little more detail about the problem?

Does Ubuntu have that Mortal Kombat clone? I'm blind and looking for fighter games to play. Yes, by sound. Gonna kick my nephew's little butts, and friggin Debian is so anally retentive, it no longer carries it, when I just saw the game in the listings only 3 months ago. [16:51] zevonja: is this a clean harddrive you are attempting to install to? [16:51] clean,formated,but i havent got to the installation process,it stops showing that message [16:52] zevonja: sounds like a media problem to me, is a usb flash disk avalable or do you already have a linux system installed? [16:52] so I tried upgrading ubuntu and now it cant even access the web (pinging google, etc). Any suggestions? [16:52] zevonja: do you have a different method of installing (different CD-ROM, USB Flash drive?) [16:52] Mikaze: check the playdeb repo, it has lots of decent games :) [16:52] no,i have a fresh hdd,formated,on one partition winxp,i tryed installing via usb,cd and even wubi [16:52] and nothing helped [16:52] hmmm [16:53] zev can you restate your question? [16:53] whisper me if you want [16:53] What's the playdev repo? [16:54] Mikaze: it's DEB, not dev [16:54] Mikaze: Ign http://packages.linuxmint.com julia/import amd64 Packages [16:54] Ign http://packages.linuxmint.com julia/backport amd64 Packages [16:54] Ign http://packages.linuxmint.com julia/romeo amd64 Packages [16:54] ActionParsnip: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download#alternate - See also !minimal [16:54] zevonja: have you tried the alternative install method? [16:54] i didnt [16:55] ActionParsnip: Thank you. Never heard of the place. [16:55] i tryed wubi,cd,usb [16:55] Mikaze: theres a deb file to add the repo, you can then install the games [16:55] hello how install LWP::UserAgent 5.829 [16:55] zevonja: We are asking if you have tried the Alternate Install CD, check the link posted by ubottu [16:55] Kewl. [16:56] zevonja: what problem did you have with usb boot install? [16:57] zevonja: I would highly recommend downloading the Alternate Install disk and giving that a go, something in your computer's configuration of hardware is not letting the sytem see the image after it has started booting [16:57] sacarlson same as with cd,or wubi.. initramfs unable to find a medium containing live file system [16:57] pragmaticenigma,i will surely try that [16:57] zevonja: oh did you do an md5sum of the iso file you downloaded? [16:57] Seems like everywhere you go (with Debian at least), you have to source.lst 15 other sites to get things to make it support the simplest formats. [16:57] yep,first thing :) [16:58] (17:55) hello how install LWP::UserAgent 5.829 [16:58] zevonja: ok what version is it you are trying to install? [16:58] Luca, che cose? [16:58] ActionParsnip: Thanks again... [16:59] zevonja: and what md5sum is it? [16:59] sacarlson: he is attempting to installl the latest edition of Ubuntu, he has attempted to boot from flash, live cd, wubi without success, we are suggesting to him to try the alternate install cd [16:59] Darael: Sorry for delay. I told that have problems with updates because for example in the software manager, I can't find some programs. My friend can see there Numpty Physics. Me not [16:59] sacarlson,man it works great on my laptop [16:59] I got this error and I have ubuntu http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/573114/ [16:59] but doesnt want to run on my desk [16:59] on line 8 there is -> use WWW::Mechanize; [17:00] zevonja: pragmaticenigma: that sounds like a good idea to me, try the alternate cd or even the minimal cd to install [17:00] can anyone please remind me of the move command to make windows boot first in grub2, something about the scripts in /etc/grub.d thanks [17:00] Luca: I would suggest going to the developers site where you downloaded the source code from for assistance [17:01] pragmaticenigma I have made it [17:01] and I 've installed all modules required but it still give errors [17:02] Luca: This is from a program that you wrote, and your trying to compile? [17:02] pragmaticenigma: yes on other server with ubuntu it worked perfectly [17:02] but in this, after installed the modules, it give me this erros [17:03] its ubuntu 8 [17:03] finally! [17:03] Luca: 8.04 or 8.10 there is no ubuntu 8 [17:03] hi all: got a serious mess going on here. I have an encrypted root FS (sda5) and (I guess) the boot partition at sda1 (ext2). grub tells me it can't find the disk on reboot. I booted into recovery mode. Mounted the encrypted FS as root. Then mounted /boot over the top of /boot and ran update-grub. It seemed to find all kernels. On reboot, grub says can't find disk :( [17:04] Dedicated IP Addresses: 4 (included) [17:04] Operating System: Ubuntu 8.x [17:04] oops [17:04] i hate it when i'm forced to register just to ask one question... [17:04] hi, what's the genitiv plural of library? library's or librarie's? (context: the librar(ie|y)'s usecase) [17:04] if anybody has any ideas, I'd be so gratefuk [17:04] my kindle dx disconnect every time i try to transfer files to it... it disappears. Yet, it works on windows! [17:04] *grateful [17:05] Luca: again, it doesn't exist. There were TWO releases in 2008, Hardy and iNTREPID. wHICH IS YOURS [17:05] sorry for caps [17:05] How can I know this?

Found nothing int he BIOS as someone suggested [17:05] with access with* [17:05] luca, uname -r [17:05] ooio: If it is multiple libraries you would use " libraries' " [17:05] Luca: what is the output of: lsb_release -d please [17:06] any other ideas? the laptop is a HP Probook 4710s and I have checked gnome's power settings, everything having to do with idle is disabled [17:06] Description: Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS [17:06] pragmaticenigma <-- sorry i didn't want the plural but the genitiv. like ,,if this house belongs to peter, it's peter's house'' [17:06] ooio: Library's [17:07] pragmaticenigma, thanks [17:07] Zeratul2k: have you logged a bug with ACPI? [17:07] Luca: then its 8.04 not 8.x [17:07] so [17:07] how in terminal choose windows disk's directory? cd ??? [17:07] Zeratul2k: does it dim randomly? or just start off dim?

[17:07] can someone help me change screen resolution in ubunut? [17:08] ActionParsnip: No, where should I go for that? [17:08] Zeratul2k: run: ubuntu-bug acpi and you will start the process === MrUnagi_ is now known as MrUnagi [17:08] pragmaticenigma, it dims randomly, even when i'm working, and won't restore brightness unless I restart the computer since the brightness keys aren't working [17:08] hello bello [17:08] ubox: what video chip? [17:08] nvidia [17:08] Zeratul2k: what is the graphics chipset in your machine? [17:08] ubox: ok which chip, they make MANY? [17:09] [17:09] ActionParsnip, got it, but will hold on that, see if i can solve it first :s [17:09] geforce 7100 [17:09] Only 6.7MB/s transfer rate on gigabit! It should be better.

[17:10] sacarlson, hi again.. i just killed my raid5 ;)) [17:10] shubbar: where are you transferring from - to ? [17:10] Zeratul2k: do you have the ATI propriatary drivers installed? [17:11] pragmaticenigma, yes, i do have them installed [17:11] ActionParsnip, home network, to file share on ubuntu server from my pc, both have gigabit through a switch [17:11] alles goed [17:11] ja hoor [17:11] pw-toxic_: killed it? is that bad? [17:12] hey hallo alles goed met jou [17:12] pragmaticenigma, I tried changing the gamma and other options there, but it changes the image, not the screen brightness [17:12] sacarlson, yes because i probably lost 4TB of data [17:12] et bonjour les neuneus !!! [17:12] ActionParsnip, i checked the speed by ethtool , and from LEDs of the switch [17:12] I think I may have found a place with a solution for you http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1465723.html [17:12] Zeratul2k, my laptop dims the screen before the screensaver times in even though its only going to blank the screen [17:12] Zeratul2k: I think I may have found a place with a solution for you http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1465723.html [17:12] pw-toxic_: should have tried virtualbox tests with simulated faults [17:12] sacarlson, i opened gparted to format my new 2TB drive.. so i created a new partition table... unfortunately i created a new partition table on one of my 1Tb raid5 drives [17:12] I'm baffled [17:12] shubbar: ok try uncommenting the socket options = TCP_NODELAY [17:12] how in terminal choose windows disk's directory? cd ???

[17:13] Luca: that isn't a command in ubuntu. Ubuntu uses deb not rpm [17:13] !alien [17:13] Zeratul2k: you can also try "sudo echo 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness" [17:13] !nvidia | ubox [17:13] ubox: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [17:13] !apt | Luca [17:13] Luca: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[17:13] sacarlson, can i pay you? [17:14] doesnt ubunut recognize the generic driver? is there a way to use generic video driver just to increase resolution [17:14] sacarlson, if you help me fix this raid5 i donate you something [17:14] pw-toxic_: raid5 is mirror right? I'll have to check [17:14] i 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. ... [17:14] ...what can i do? [17:14] AbhijiT: yes what mean "-uvh" in ubuntu [17:14] apt-uvh? [17:14] no idea [17:14] Luca, RPM packages are for RPM based distributions only... you will need to find the equivalent .deb package to install on Ubuntu [17:14] Hello, anyone with wireless broadcom bcm4727 problems? [17:14] sacarlson, raid5 has 1 spare drive .. so i can kill one drive and the raid still works [17:15] pragmaticenigma, don't have a VGA on /proc/acpi/video/, just a DGFX [17:15] couldn't hurt to replave the VGA with DGFX [17:15] this is a hackers nest isnt it? [17:15] dario_: No [17:15] no [17:16] this is if you need help with ubuntu [17:16] good [17:16] pw-toxic_: this is what I am reading for raid5 "drive failure requires replacement, but the array is not destroyed by a single drive failure. " [17:16] cool [17:16] pragmaticenigma, yep, it works [17:16] Okay so I've mucked about in testdisk and rewrote the partition table and the ubuntu installer still doesnt recognize the OS installed on the hard drive(or any partitions for that matter) [17:16] sacarlson, my raid5 is synced.. the raid5 works.. just the partition or the partition table is crashed [17:16] ActionParsnip, InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter [17:17] pragmaticenigma, should create a custom launcher in the meantime, then? [17:17] I think the problem is because I am running in virtualbox [17:17] ubox: oh, so not nvidia at all [17:17] probably couldn't hurt to make a shortcut of some sort [17:17] ubox: install the guest additions and it will be fine [17:17] I guess the virtualbox is not recognizing my card [17:17] ActionParsnip, uncommented "socket options = TCP_NODELAY", restarted smbd and nmbd ... but still getting 6.8MB/s [17:17] pw-toxic_: oh it's not the disk that failed you corupted the data in the raid partition, you can't fix that [17:17] ubox: it is, the hardware in a virtual system is virtualized [17:17] !list [17:17] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

Is this version safe? I know there have been numerous security problems with this package. I'm migrating from gentoo where things are more updated. [17:18] ActionParsnip, I will look at guest application online now [17:18] shubbar: I'd run: lspci and note the network chip, then websearch for guides based on that [17:18] ubox: in the powered on guest there is a menu across the top, it's in there. Better support will be in #vbox [17:18] Is anybody here that was helping me from before? [17:18] i need to know which windows partitioner should i use whic one is the easyest [17:18] LWP::UserAgent version 5.827 required--this is only version 2.036 at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 106. [17:18] how solve this error?? [17:18] pragmaticenigma, yeah, looks like it. Going to see if I can file a bug report to them [17:19] I am installing the additions [17:19] sacarlson, but i only corrupted one drive ;( [17:19] pragmaticenigma, thanks for all your help, this low brightness was killing my eyes!

[17:20] sacarlson, /dev/sda [17:20] Zeratul2k: I sent you a couple PMs [17:20] bonjour [17:20] pw-toxic_: ok then your raid5 should be ok [17:20] sacarlson, hopefully [17:21] pw-toxic_: did you try the disk utility to test and fix it [17:21] whats the line to the defult ubuntu repos? I'm trying to add them to my arch install [17:21] night_owl: sorry, ask the guys in #archlinux [17:21] i search french chat for help?

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [17:22] sacarlson, then it started to resync my array which has been finished after 6 hours over night [17:22] thanks :) [17:22] pw-toxic_: ok and what came of that? [17:23] sacarlson, ok the full story can be read here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10501116#post10501116 [17:23] 1) i opened gparted and did "Device->create new partition table" [17:23] sacarlson, 2) i closed gparted [17:24] sacarlson, 3) i switched to my "Disk Utility" window and clicked on "check array". Then resync started and it finished successfully over night [17:24] sacarlson, 4) then I did "mount /dev/md0 /share/costello" which gave me the error you can see in the thread [17:25] how hard is it to install ubuntu on an apple i book? [17:25] does anyone know what is sasser.exe? [17:26] pw-toxic_: did you try mount with disk utility? [17:26] sacarlson, yes - same error [17:26] jogu, live cd ? [17:26] sacarlson, no! no i get the following error: "Daemon is inhibited" [17:26] sacarlson, I do reboot my fileserver ok?

[17:27] karma_police, 8/10 [17:27] sacarlson, no md0 is a normal drive i have created with mdadm [17:27] dario_: that is malware or more likely the sasser worm (which can only infect windows machines that have not been updated properly.) [17:27] thx [17:27] sacarlson, i followed this tutorial (german) : http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Software-RAID [17:27] i 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] "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] ...what can i do?

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.

[18:31] <[segfault]> macabre: i think you would just restart X, really. I was just recently reading about the lack of xorg.conf in 10.10 [18:31] ActionParsnip, I have GUI! Thanks so much! [18:31] ThinkT510: if thats the thing then i have used that before its just i wasn't able to make the (unknown(1mb), linix-swap(23.63gb) in my case), when making the partions. it keept giving me error that i didn't specify a boot partion.

[18:32] hi everyone! is there an application to check if sd-cards are broken? [18:33] <[segfault]> macabre: ahh, well you could upgrade and see if there is better support for your machine perhaps, though if fixing xorg.conf is your aim, then you would need to let us know specifically what is messed up.

Since it doesn't autodetect on an iMac G3 ppc [18:40] bazhang, it's a driver for my webcam that need to run [18:41] ThinkT510: so if i do it like this-- i make 300 gb of ext4 which is (mount point /) and then i make a 30 gb linix-swap. after that i select the 300 gb partions and click install will it work? [18:41] abhay_, those are way too huge [18:42] abhay_: it will work but not sure why you want such huge partitions [18:42] bazhang: how is it huge sir. [18:42] abhay_, 2x memory max for swap [18:42] abhay_, how much ram [18:42] bazhang: 8 gb ram [18:42] smilidon: sudo Xorg -configure > xorg.conf or write your own with options you need [18:43] is wireless hardware supposed to show up in the 'network settings' graphical configuration tool?

What's wrong ? -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT && nmap localhost <= The latter only displays port 631 (wonder what that is) [18:43] abhay_: quite frankly, you likely don't need swap with that mch ram, unless you're doing memory heavy tasks [18:43] bazhang: right now my linis-swap is at 25.63 gb [18:43] hello there [18:43] drew2: yes if it has a driver [18:43] michaelxq: Have you been able to install them before with Linux?

But The network location does not show up in the file browser... Even though it does when I run nautilus (non-sudo) [19:09] <_Alex__> ok [19:10] Naeblis: there is no flash package there, how have you installed flash? [19:10] how do I make it so KDE apps fit into my color scheme? [19:10] like kolourpaint and ktimer [19:10] geoffmcc: it reports as wlan0. Maybe a typo.. sorry. [19:10] jim_, I had a similar problem on a system, it had a pci wifi card connected to it after removing it system started fine [19:10] ActionParsnip: Err, I removed it earlier today, then reinstalled via Ubuntu Software Centre [19:10] yes I do have one [19:11] so removing it will fix [19:11] _Alex__, this room is a bad choice for you if you are a pessimist [19:11] johnny77: least it working [19:11] Naeblis: try: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree to install flash [19:11] jim_, is it from TP-LINK?

[19:12] <_Alex__> jim_: he told it to me, not you [19:12] jim_, do you know the company of that card [19:12] ActionParsnip: In Progress.

[19:15] hello [19:15] ActionParsnip: The problem seems to be that flash is causing the crash. So, I disabled hardware acceleration, then installed flash-aid as it has worked for some from what the forums tell me [19:16] Why can't I play .flv files in Ubuntu? [19:16] Naeblis: what does flash aid do? [19:16] anyone here familiar with QCad? [19:16] wildc4rd: I've used it some time back [19:17] Lungan: DId you download the Adobe Flash plugin?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [19:17] fossusr, "apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree" ? [19:17] fossusr, or maybe flashplugin* [19:17] sacarlson, that does indeed find the file but doesn't give permission details like ls -l would [19:17] thanks Think, but I stand by my initial question [19:17] ActionParsnip: "Removing conflicting flash installations and installing the appropriate version as supported by your Ubuntu system architecture" === Olhar_Digital_GO is now known as peregrinator_six === Aaron5367|detach is now known as Aaron5367 [19:17] wildc4rd: very similar to autocad like older editions mabe like autocad 10, but been like 3 years since I played with it last [19:18] do you enjoy the bouncy windows in gnome effects?

[19:24] BluesKaj, How do I make shure that I have them installed? [19:24] Sylvester11: what is an embedded operating system? or what will it do?

Lungan ;) [19:25] fossusr: better, use find with chmod: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/changing-permission-for-folders-only-477040/ [19:25] Or BluesKaj 's easier way :D [19:25] hello guys [19:25] BluesKaj, "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted extras"?

Last time I managed to unfsck it (it was a superblock uncorrupted the first time), I couldn't get into the data, and when I shut down to try to access directly from the OS it turned into a corrupt superblock on the way. [20:00] javahorn: If Starminn is correct and you want a skype plugin for Pidgin (or libpurple), install the pidgin-skype package. [20:01] Starminn: skype plugin for libpurple messengers will be fine, with video quality and sound is fine then_ [20:01] wow this si confusing:) I am talking to myself, I am talking to bots :) [20:01] er i got bored and decided to enter irc from backtrack4 as root [20:01] woop === root is now known as Guest23295 [20:01] hi [20:01] Darael: Starminn which source_ [20:01] This would be a LiveCD getting into the data of the hard drive system.

Then ask in there.

That usually brings it back for me. [20:06] Darael: no, that doesnt help, [20:07] Here goes nothing. [20:07] gGgG: Oh. Sorry. It was worth a try. I'm out of ideas personally, maybe someone else can help. [20:07] <[segfault]> gGgG: Have you tried going under System/Preferences/Appearance, then Customize/Pointer to try a different pointer set?

I want to install it to run alongside my current gnome (2.whatever) [20:19] Shwaiil: or pkill -9 firefox if that doesnt work [20:19] Jonii: That's odd, it worked fine for me. What problems are you having with Japanese text exactly? [20:19] Shwaiil: That's how I do it, anyway. xkill is by far the easiest in my opinion. Your other alternatives, though are to run "top" then "kill, pkill, killall," or whatever for the process ID (things vary for each command but the idea is the same) [20:19] Gangrel: you have a ` there not closed [20:19] xkill worked, but the program opened a "select box" and its still on screen [20:20] erUSUL, is avahi running by default in ubuntu, osx ?

[20:20] Hello, I closed and opened my laptop and my pointer disappeared, (still working, but no arrow to show me where it is) [20:21] brontoeee: osx has its own implementation of zeroconf it does not use avahi. but yes both OS's and windows should have mDNS [20:21] erUSUL check that http://paste.ubuntu.com/573192/ [20:21] brontoeee: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_configuration_networking [20:21] StevenX: if you're dealing with files over 4gb then the only option is ntfs [20:21] Jonii: system->preferences->keyboard input methods, IIRC. [20:21] erUSUL, reading, thanks [20:22] ThinkT510, I don't think I have any files ove 4gb, but I'd like to have that option, unless using NTFS causes other problems. [20:22] well how can i tell bootloader to boot from the copy on the 150gb and not from the one on the 20gb drive? [20:22] abe, where is grub [20:22] Jonii: Better yet, follow the instructions of someone who knows what they're on about: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JapaneseInput [20:22] StevenX: linux uses ntfs-3g to read/write to ntfs and it works very well for me [20:22] Gangrel: check line 9 you have funny " there [20:23] Gangrel: the opening one [20:23] hello, i have installed ubuntu desktop and i want to create web-server i have installed apache2 and its works but just with localhost not with my ip, my ip point to my login wireless router D-Link?

[20:25] my sound icon is gone from the top bar how do i add it back up there? [20:25] Starminn: well that's a pretty broad oversimplificatio.... less quits with q but vi or emacs or nano use other key combos ....

[20:31] Starminn, 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] !yay | Jonii [20:31] Jonii: Glad you made it! :-) [20:31] [thor]: it would be easier to diagnose the problem if we knew what you were doing prior to being logged out [20:31] !ask | arbitrator (this doesn't quite fit but...)

[20:31] erUSUL, that works for setting an image as the terminal background. I just want that image to be static. [20:31] Is there a way to search IRC channels (by filtering /list command in xchat) ? [20:31] [thor]: Not off the top of my head, but I would guess in /var/log somewhere. [20:32] Darael, i got it anyways its gnome-volume-control-applet && disown [20:32] is there any correlation between profile and bashrc ? [20:32] KucukMubasir: in you home. like ~/.profile ~/.bashrc [20:32] <[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] Dwade09: Great, glad to hear you got it fixed. Sorry for being somewhat unpleasant... I'm probably too tired to be on IRC. [20:32] Is anyone here on a VAIO? [20:32] KucukMubasir: both are using by bash. bashrc is read everytime bash startes profile only on login [20:32] If I can't find a way to fix the massive problems Ubuntu has with this VAIO, it's going back to the store [20:33] I know where they are, but these guide mentioning bashrc as if it is identical profile [20:33] [thor]: did the web page have flash on it or make use of any third party plugins? [20:33] is there a irc-client which is so integrated in the shell that i can use various bash-programs from the client? [20:33] this guide is* [20:33] KucukMubasir: it is not [20:33] Thanks 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 lol [20:33] Diverdude: 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] mr_shed: uncheck the box "Scroll background image" [20:34] mr_shed: Have you unchecked "Background image scrolls" ? [20:34] Darael, 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] Diverdude: to search channels use the alis service [20:34] Diverdude: /msg alis list *string* [20:34] it'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.log [20:35] JoshDreamland: Vaio vgn-fw, all work but brigtnes adjustement, 10.10 64 bit [20:35] mindfire: it's a simple user interface that lets you configure hard drives. it will be located in System>Administration after install [20:35] I feel an utter idiot, I was certain I checked for that option. didn't find it before. [20:35] hmm [20:35] shcherbak: Your trackpad is recognized as a trackpad?

[20:37] ubox, within vbox? [20:37] Has 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 fine [20:37] yeah [20:37] does ubuntu installer have a utillity to install without a keyboard *like an on screen keyboard thingy* [20:37] shcherbak: My main problems are that there's no way to disable tap-clicking, and the brightness control is completely FUBAR [20:37] bazhang, I have ubuntu running in vbox [20:37] klevi, set router to forward port 80 to your server internal ip machine [20:37] brontoeee i have try it to do that [20:37] pragmaticenigma: Chromium and Chrome ship with their own version of Flash, not related to what you have on your system. [20:37] thats not possible as I understand it ubox perhaps confirm in #vbox [20:37] but i cant [20:37] [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 help [20:37] my port 80 is open [20:37] but didt point to my ubuntu [20:37] SuShemSu: There's an on-screen keyboard available by default IIRC. [20:38] ubox: installed the guestadditions? [20:38] Starminn: 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] Starminn: Actually that's not true, at least in the case of Chromium. Chromium-from-the-repos uses the packaged flash-player. [20:38] Darael: onboard? [20:38] I didnt install guestadditions [20:38] ciao [20:38] ThinkT510, should I install that [20:38] ubox: yes [20:38] Can anyone help me with su: pam_start: error 26? [20:38] JoshDreamland: That's the bunny. [20:39] ok doing it now [20:39] Darael pragmaticenigma: Ah, so it's only Chrome then, Well then, pragmatic, Chrome ships with its own. I guess Chromium uses the system [20:39] *curses at the VAIO as if it might fix something* [20:39] ThinkT510, virtualbox guest additions correct [20:39] JoshDreamland: 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] ubox: thats the one [20:39] So I guess my question would be more towards Chromium... anyone know how to get Flash to stop crashing in Chromium? [20:39] shubbar: 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] shubbar: Sorry, tab-fail.

[20:40] win7 [20:40] thanks [20:40] ThinkT510, win7 [20:40] ubox: you can install the guest additions from the virtualbox user interface [20:40] any program which will instigate a macro (set of keystrokes) from a singe "hotkey" like a function key to perform a lot of operations [20:40] oh [20:40] Has anybody tried the Alpha 2? [20:41] let me see if there is an option [20:41] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: the end of that log shows nothing but input device connections [20:41] Anyone else here have a VAIO? [20:41] cg2916: For prerelease versions, try #ubuntu+1 [20:41] Maybe someone who got the brightness to work? [20:41] you might have to go back further... [20:41] ok [20:41] Darael: thanks [20:41] JoshDreamland: I didn't see the question earlier, can you please repeat it for me? [20:41] cg2916: No probs. [20:42] ThinkT510, do you know if there is an option in virtualbox manager to install guest additions or is there a link [20:42] <[thor]> gah.. timestamps in internet time [20:42] ubox: one sec [20:42] I'm SO CLOSE. [20:42] <[thor]> or something similar... seconds after the great beginning [20:42] DAMNIT. [20:42] pragmaticenigma: My trackpad is recognized as a mouse (so I can't configure it), and my brightness can't be set [20:42] [thor]: the time stamps are actually from boot time, 0 seconds from boot is the start [20:42] ubox: Virtualbox has a menu option when you start the VM (somewhere, my memory is a touch fuzzy) to install the guest additions. [20:42] thanks for your help erUSUL, I resolved my bash related problem [20:42] salut [20:43] actually, the brightness can be set, but it behaves all wonky [20:43] JoshDreamland: what graphics chipset do you have in your laptop? [20:43] !fr | itMan44 [20:43] itMan44: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr, ou #ubuntu-qc. Merci. [20:43] ubox: when the vm is running it's under the devices menu [20:43] ok [20:43] pragmaticenigma: Some NVidia. I've installed the latest driver. [20:43] what file do i have to uninstall to rid of the envelope in the notification area ?? [20:43] k, when you say you installed the latest driver, did you install it from the "additional hardware" tool? [20:44] ThinkT510, do I have to stop virtual machine to go under settings of it [20:44] <[segfault]> tech-2: right click on it and select 'remove from panel' [20:44] pragmaticenigma: Originally. But then I had some problems, so I nabbed it from a different repository. [20:44] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: http://pastebin.com/jEMVQBc3 [20:44] lol [segfault] not the whole thing, just the envelope [20:44] ubox: no, select the option while the vm is running and it will mount it in the vm, just like you inserted a cd [20:45] tech-2: I'm not sure one /can/ remove individual parts of the indicator-applet. [20:45] JoshDreamland: hm, how? "echo -n XX > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;" worked in 32, but not 64. [20:45] pragmaticenigma: The Additional Drivers tool shows the driver as well [20:45] you can, i did it on another machine [20:45] JoshDreamland: 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 system [20:45] I think I figured it out here [20:45] I would install the driver available in the Additional Drivers tool... it should be more compatible with your system === canon is now known as Acid190 [20:46] <[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] !yay | abe [20:46] abe: Glad you made it! :-) [20:46] pragmaticenigma: The Additional Drivers tool displays the driver I have now with [Recommended] next to it [20:46] and is that one installed? [20:46] I believe the repository I added just gave it a more current version [20:46] and yes [20:46] JoshDreamland: ah, okay [20:46] Activated and currently in use [20:46] i did it 2 weeks ago on another machine, i just cant rermember what i was told to uninstall [20:47] ThinkT510 yes indeed i did whoever sent me the link to the startup manager command is the winner today :) [20:47] tech-2: Closest-looking package I can see is evolution-indicator [20:47] ThinkT510, when I click Devices -> Install Guest Additions nothing happens [20:47] This trackpad is killing me. It's so sensitive, it detects my ps changing the cursor position, like this. alm above it and clicks, thu [20:47] thank you guys [20:48] JoshDreamland: is this a clean install or did it just start happening? [20:48] ubox: it usually downloads it first, can you see anything in the statusbar of the vm? [20:48] pragmaticenigma: 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] An update got the trackpad recognized as a mouse. The liveCD thought it was a knife sharpener. === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [20:49] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: Xorg.0.log.old ends with a Segmentation Fault error logged... [20:49] tech-2: You'll also need to remove indicator-messages. [20:49] thats prolly it [20:50] [thor]: anything prior to that seg fault line? [20:50] ThinkT510, I see the cd mounted - do I need to run VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86.exe in the mounted disk [20:50] JoshDreamland: What is the exact model number of that laptop [20:51] VPCF136FM [20:51] ubox: it should offer to install the guest additions within ubuntu [20:51] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: http://pastebin.com/Te65BQu8 [20:51] ubox: That file is the additions for a Windows guest, as the name suggests. There should be something more suited to Ubuntu. [20:51] ubox: .exe files are for windows [20:51] lol [20:52] ThinkT510: Not strictly true (they could be, for example, mono applications) but... [20:52] why is there no "Run as root" option in a file's context menu by default in Kubuntu?! [20:52] [thor]: it would appear something was attempting to change your screen resolution just prior to crashing [20:52] VBoxLinuxAdditions.run [20:52] BajK: Perhaps because people shouldn't be regularly running files as root? [20:52] ThinkT510, there is VBoxLinuxAdditions.run [20:52] Darael: and how should I then install something? [20:52] ubox: that's the one, make sure you run it with sudo [20:52] [thor]: were you trying to make something go full screen? [20:52] BajK: Well, you could use the package manager? [20:52] virtualbox addons require root to install them [20:53] Starminn: for any .deb file (google talkplugin), what i should select, open with or save file? [20:53] BajK: Open it in the software center, and it will prompt for auth [20:53] I am not talking about deb files or something [20:53] a .run file for example [20:53] BajK: In that case, you should open a terminal and prefix the command with sudo. [20:53] javahorn: Just double-click it [20:53] Darael: and THIS is the stupid thing about it [20:53] why the hell do I always need a terminal.. [20:53] javahorn: Oh, open with [20:53] I mean, in Windows it's as simple as "click on vbox install.exe and thats it" [20:53] JoshDreamland: 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 one [20:53] in ubuntu.. well "mount the CD first, then open a terminal, then cd /media/vbox blabla and then sudo ./vbox*.run" [20:53] BajK: Which you got from where? [20:53] javahorn: 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 time [20:54] JoshDreamland: many proprietary software is shipped as .run [20:54] that was it, thanks [20:54] <[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 up [20:54] ThinkT510, do you you how to reference the cd media [20:54] pragmaticenigma: I don't see another one [20:54] is it just /media/vbox? [20:54] BajK: 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] Darael: explain this to my mother… [20:54] I can do it [20:54] BajK: Do yourself a favor and install nautilus-open-terminal [20:54] but why should she even bother [20:54] [thor]: I'm suspecting it's an isolated incident... Unless this is continually happening I wouldn't worry too much about it [20:55] BajK: Why is your mother installing anything? [20:55] there is autorun.sh there also [20:55] just an example === mike is now known as Guest76055 [20:55] what does this one do [20:55] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: at least i know where to look for clues next time. thanks for the help [20:55] BajK: If your mother is using virtual machines, she is probably competent enough to deal with some copy-pasted terminal commands. [20:55] please 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 it [20:55] ubox: 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 .run [20:55] and if youre not supposed to run a script as root you propably wont have the permissions to do so anyway [20:55] Most of us think it's stupid -to- have one, BajK [20:55] hi [20:55] BajK: my mom installs things on Ubuntu just fine. Even /I/ don't install .run files, because that's silly. [20:56] rww: tell this google and nvidia, not me [20:56] ok [20:56] [thor]: no prob... it might have just been a system maintence script that just triggered the wrong response or modeprobe had a hiccup [20:56] BajK: Google and Nvidia know how to throw DEBs together [20:56] BajK: Or don't use their crappy hardware that requires non-free drivers, which is what we do. [20:56] Guest76055: 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] ThinkT510, which command "run" ? [20:57] question: 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] ubox: sudo ./nameoffile.run [20:57] How 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] !offtopic | JoshDreamland, BajK [20:57] JoshDreamland, 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] I asked that earlier I know, but got side tracked and the buffer overflowed [20:57] that worked [20:57] JoshDreamland 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] skor: press shift during boot if the grub menu does not show by itself [20:57] 19:41:42 < erUSUL> skor: if the grub menu do not appear when you boot. press shift to force it to appear [20:57] ThinkT510, - that started the install why do i have to put ./??? I am newbee as you can tell [20:57] Darael: tyvm [20:58] I was able to cd / then did cd media [20:58] I'm working strictly from the CLI on a remote rack server.. I'm not going to "see" what your suggesting [20:58] erUSUL: I try. Sometimes I am not fast enough. [20:58] what I want is to use the other kernel I installed [20:58] pragmaticenigma: Would you happen to know the version number of the recommended driver? [20:58] skor: Also, try google for "no grub menu at boot" and /etc/default/grub [20:58] ubox: ./ tells the system you want to execute the program that follows [20:58] ubox: ./ means it's executable (usually a binary or script) [20:58] Darael: :P [20:58] Trying to figure out the "Ubuntu way" rather than just editing the file [20:58] BajK: 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] but the docs are not clearly telling me how [20:58] oops, they left :\ [20:58] got it thanks :) [20:59] skor: 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 menu [20:59] JoshDreamland: No, I would not know the recommended driver... I would personally be tempted to reinstall from scratch [20:59] ubox: np [20:59] skor: well editing the file and running "sudo update-grub" is the ubuntu way [20:59] !yay | ubox [20:59] ubox: Glad you made it! :-) [20:59] Oh ok thanks. Lol @ "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY" [20:59] skor: The Ubuntu way is, as erUSUL just said, to edit files in /etc/default :-) [20:59] pragmaticenigma: 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. [21:00] oh right, different file then. Ok thanks I'll figure it out now [21:00] ThinkT510, 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] skor: that's for /boot/grub/grub.cfg *not* /etc/default/grub [21:00] JoshDreamland: Are you using an actual trackpad? or just the area below the keyboard? [21:00] skor: Yeah, that's so that it doesn't get clobbered when the next update-grub runs (next kernel package upgrade, for example) [21:00] pragmaticenigma: Area below the keyboard [21:01] Ahh, ok I see [21:01] skor: No prob, but as erUSUL also said, in this case running sudo update-grub after editing is also necessary [21:01] that should have been recongnized as a mouse... just the sensitivity is set too high perhaps [21:01] ThinkT510, its done now but I dont see a greater resolution than 800x600 - any idea :) [21:01] ubox: 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 directory [21:02] pragmaticenigma: my other laptop has a "Trackpad" tab that allows me to set things like tap-click and horizontal scrolling [21:02] interesting [21:02] I have no horizontal scroll, and I can't get rid of this god-awful tap-click [21:02] ubox, there is nautilus addon as well [21:03] JoshDreamland: there should be a mouse setting control panel in the sytem => preferences menu to adjust those features [21:03] nautilus-open-terminal you mean? [21:03] pragmaticenigma: I kow. I [21:03] GOD DANG IT [21:03] ubox, possibly [21:03] ubox: That's the bunny. [21:03] pragmaticenigma: I know, the mouse setting is there, but I can't set any of those features because the mousepad tab is missing [21:03] nautilus-open-terminal is a proof-of-concept Nautilus extension [21:03] which allows you to open a terminal in arbitrary local folders. [21:03] C [21:03] :) [21:03] ubox: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:03] JoshDreamland: the real unfortunate situation here is the fact that Linux and Sony Laptops have a reputation for being like oil and water [21:03] let me install that [21:04] because it thinks it's a standard mouse [21:04] oops [21:04] JoshDreamland: They are really hard to get working [21:04] well, then it's going back to the store [21:04] I'll grab a ThinkPad or something [21:04] hello guyz [21:04] yes [21:04] i've given up finding a macro facility xmacro not very nice to set up [21:04] i need some help [21:04] !ask | Sid [21:04] Sid: 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. :-) [21:05] JoshDreamland: 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 mouse [21:05] i'm new for using ubuntu [21:05] !ask | Sid [21:05] n i even dont know how to play any video or audio on that [21:05] what is the url to access my local mysql server? [21:05] pragmaticenigma: here I can get new drivers?Anyw [21:05] there are no driver for that [21:05] !codecs | Sid [21:05] Sid: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [21:06] alex_: There's no url; what are you trying to do? [21:06] alex_, there is no url [21:06] tell spring mvc where my database is. [21:06] since removing compiz, images "ghost" through my browser and desktop wallpaper. Anyone know anything about this? I have been trying to fix it for days. [21:06] like jdbc://somepath:prot [21:06] or soemthing like that. [21:06] port* [21:06] let me take a look at that [21:06] JoshDreamland: 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 drivers [21:07] alex_: Well, then, somepath sholud be localhost and port can probably be omitted due to it being the default. [21:07] Or 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) [21:08] JoshDreamland: It is possible that the particular trackpad on that laptop is too new and no one has developed a linux driver for it yet === nikon is now known as callaghan [21:10] hello there, i have an issue with a zip file that contains files with accents, and i cant seem to extract them, any advice? [21:10] I'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/3cg3b [21:10] darael, when i want my mysql server to be accesible from the outside world? [21:10] hello everyone! after tinkering a bit with ubuntu on my laptop in safe mode I finally managed to make the gui work again but I can't manage to make it display on my secondary screen (my laptopscreen is broken) anyone? [21:10] Sorry.. where is the documentation that explains where I can type "BOOT_THIS_VERSION" in /etc/default/grub ? I did 'strings /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig | grep -A30 "export GRUB" but ... [21:11] hey guys! :) is there a counterpart to VB.net in Ubuntu? I have a few apps created in VB.net for my business and I made the switch to Ubuntu (love it! won't go back) and really need a quick, dirty, painless way of creating apps [21:11] Starminn: Thanks a lot. Now concern is for anti virus, suggest some good one, easy to install and have some good potency!! [21:11] Can 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] alex_: 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] Cataclysm: Better yet, we have an implementation. Take a look at Mono. [21:11] javahorn: You don't need Anti-Virus in Linnux unless you're moving files between Windows systems. [21:11] thanks Darael googling it [21:12] Linux* [21:12] Starminn: :) :) but just bitten by virus , so bit worried!! [21:12] !av | javahorn [21:12] javahorn: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [21:12] locking down involves iptables i assume? [21:12] <[segfault]> javahorn: if you do want one though, clamav is one of several popular ones [21:12] @ [21:13] javahorn: Well ClamAV and Avast are the popular ones [21:13] actually, it's okay [21:13] I'll run with what I have [21:13] Thanks Starminn [segfault] Darael . [21:13] hey huys, i tried egoboo but it wont run at all for me at the menu the mouse is moving very slowly and i cant quit, must open task manager and kill it [21:13] alex_: Partly... why not take a look at the Ubuntu Server Guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/index.html [21:13] hello, somebody with a Dell E6510 running ubuntu 10.10, new to linux and cant get the buildin smartcard reader to work. [21:13] hello, 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 ? [21:14] insanity99: I think you may be in the wrong channel... [21:14] (install "quickitme 7 or later" i mean) [21:14] well my machine can run it, technologically speaking [21:14] tim167, you dont [21:14] ok I think I solved the secondary screen thing [21:14] so ubuntu could be the problem? [21:15] tim167: You don't; quicktime isn't made for Linux or for Ubuntu. [21:15] brontoeee: hmm, so what do i do then ? [21:15] tim167, isnt that java stuff? [21:15] ok.. grub_default.. now how to display menu entries from CLI [21:15] brontoeee: well, yes, processing is based on java [21:16] tim167: You download the Linux package instead of the Windows one? (if you're installing, that is) [21:16] is fedora is different from ubuntu?? [21:16] i never used fedora [21:16] Sid: Yes. They're from very different families. [21:16] but both are linux [21:16] base [21:16] *based [21:16] Darael: the linux package of what ? [21:17] Sid: Correct. However, Fedora is in the Red Hat family, whereas Ubuntu is in the Debian family. The families have several architectural differences. [21:17] tim167: If you're not trying to /install/ Processing, disregard my comment. If you /are/, check the download page again. [21:17] Darel: you mean inter face differnce? [21:18] Sid: Main difference would be package management [21:18] someone know how to get the buildin cardreader to work (dell e6510), running ubuntu 10.10 x64 [21:18] Sid: 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. [21:19] ok.. [21:19] and which one is better? [21:19] Darael: no, processing is installed, but it complains about not finding Quicktime [21:19] Sid: There is no "better". Except that this is an Ubuntu channel so we have to say Debian is better :P [21:19] nm-applet is using 40% of my ram across two processes again .. [21:19] ohhh [21:19] Sid: 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] i'm using windows and ubuntu side by side....can i use fedora in the same way? [21:20] Sid: Indeed you can. [21:20] Sid: Sure [21:20] that is also free ? [21:20] Sid: Fedora is, yes. [21:20] okay thanks [21:20] Sid: debian is better than ubuntu for some purposes, ubuntu better then debian for others, other distros better than both for yet other things [21:21] ubuntu works out of the box. that is its strength [21:21] why ubuntu is considered most powerfull? [21:21] 2? [21:21] Sid: http://distrowatch.com/stats.php?section=popularity Have fun [21:21] magicianlord: On the other hand, on /some/ hardware Fedora works out of the box and Ubuntu doesn't. At least, I remember reports of this. [21:21] magicianlord, exept my cardreader :) [21:21] ubuntu is considered the most powerful? [21:21] Sid: IIRC it isn't. [21:21] Sid: i dont have a ton of linux experience but i have tried many of them and i keep comming back to ubuntu. try for yourself and see but im just sayin' [21:22] Sid: I've never heard of Ubuntu being the most powerful. But it is the most Linux-beginner-friendly to most people. [21:22] where is the shell startup scrips in ubuntu [21:22] ubuntu is definitely one of the prettiest Linux distro's I've ever used. [21:22] okay....i dont have much knowledge [21:22] skullboy: What do you mean? Could you give a little more detail? [21:23] how do i get my raid to auto mount on startup it just unmounts if i reboot [21:23] but Debian works very nicely too. [21:23] * Starminn Agrees with mr_shed [21:23] !fstab | matt_ [21:23] matt_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [21:23] thanks for the distrowatch [21:23] hola [21:23] Darael: where is the script that starts gnome-session and x on ttl7 === monica is now known as Guest62235 [21:23] skullboy: in your .profile or .bashrc [21:24] SidL No, it's fine. That's what you're here for -- to learn. I have tried a few and prefer Ubuntu, myself. And you're welcome. All 324 distros (and I'm sure there are a few not on there either). YOu've also got various Ubuntu derivatives like an Ubuntu for nearly every religion on the planet, Ubuntu "Ultimate Edition" (not from Canonical), and so forth. [21:24] list [21:24] itaylor57: .bashrc [21:25] hello there, i have an issue with a zip file that contains files with accents, and i cant seem to extract them, any advice? [21:25] * Starminn wasn't counting the *actual* derivatives like Linux Mint, etc.) [21:25] itaylor57, skullboy: I think you spoke past each other... [21:25] For some reason, no matter what video editing software i use, the rendered video has issues with the audio track (none at all, 3x the speed, looped). While in the editor, sound is played back. This happens with kino, openshot, avidemux and cinelerra. Any ideas? [21:25] skullboy: It's an Upstart job these days in Ubuntu, rather than an init-script - look up Upstart and look at the files in /etc/init (/not/ /etc/init.d/) [21:25] whos running ubuntu on a dell e6510? [21:25] oneliner: do something like unzip partialfilename* [21:25] i want to give a brief presentation at college......on the topic OSS (open source softwares). [21:25] Sid: I typo'd your name so look for "SidL" a little before this message [21:25] what major topics should i include? [21:25] list [21:26] oneliner: or rename mv partialfilename* newfilename [21:26] Sid: Ask in #ubuntu-offtopic as this channel is for support only. [21:26] Sid: What and why, primarily. And Starminn is right, take it to -offtopic. [21:26] Fjodor: according to my logs we have [21:26] !anyone | michael__ [21:26] michael__: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [21:26] ok. [21:26] geoffmcc: thanks i ll try that [21:27] but how do i rename files / folders whithin the zip? [21:27] the main problem with my ubuntu is it give very slow internet speed compare to win7.. why so? [21:28] why do i need to edit a config file to get my harddrive to be accessible this is bullshi [21:28] ubottu, sorry, its all new new for me [21:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:28] michael__: Just ask what your question is and we'll see if we can help. [21:28] ubottu, normally i google alot before asking help [21:28] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:28] Sid: Is it slow or unresponsive? The two are very different. If it's slow to respond, you might want to look at disabling IPv6 - hang on, I'll dig out a link. [21:28] Sid: speedtest.net [21:28] skullboy: I guess I misunderstood your original question [21:28] michael__: dont talk to ubottu directly, its just a bot [21:28] michael__: Ubottu is not a person. :) [21:28] !ohmy | matt_ [21:28] matt_: Please remember that all Ubuntu IRC channels share the same attitude of providing friendly and polite interaction with all users of all ages and cultures. Basically, this means no foul language and no abuse towards others. [21:28] Starminn, oeps [21:29] its slow....speed around 30kbps [21:29] while on win7 i get 150kbps [21:29] Sid: Right. Are you using a wired or a wireless connection? [21:29] michael__: you have a model only slightly higher in number than my system (Dell Latitude E6500). I havent figured out how to get the built in smart card reader working either. [21:29] Sid: is it 3G? [21:29] what image viewer is everyone useing? [21:29] nope [21:30] EvilPhoenix, thanx mate! [21:30] night_owl: Eye of GNOME (the default) [21:30] <[deXter]> night_owl: whatever was shipped by default.. [21:30] its 2G...but it catches 3G network [21:30] hmmm, anybody know why mkinitramfs isn't creating a modules.dep file? [21:30] itaylor57: know how gnome-session starts with the system and then x starts on tty7 where is the script that starts that [21:30] Sid: But it's a mobile internet connection? [21:30] Sid: did you try to make test on speedtest.net ? [21:31] darael- yes...i'm using netconnect modem [21:31] shcherbak- yes [21:31] I'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/3cg3b [21:31] http://i.imgur.com/9VZXu.png what do i add to fstab to get md0 working on boot [21:32] itaylor57: know how gnome-session starts with the system and then x starts on tty7 where is the script that starts that [21:32] skullboy: ubunut uses upstart now http://upstart.ubuntu.com/faq.html [21:33] skullboy: gnome-session /doesn't/ start with the system - GDM does, and if you set up autologin it then calls gnome-session. See the upstart docs. [21:33] i asked for solution about speed...plz help me guyz === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [21:34] <[thor]> Sid: it's all in your head. my OS choice has never affected my speeds. [21:34] I am trying to install a wireless adapter and for some reason I am not seeing the same amount of files on my media that I see in windows7 [21:34] matt_: Open a terminal and run "mount" with no options and pastebin the result (http://paste.ubuntu.com), please. [21:34] any ideas? [21:34] maybe.. [21:34] <[thor]> Sid: in fact, i have a higher than average speedtest.net score for my ISP [21:34] Hello. Wine throws this error XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled. [21:35] well i guess i should switch to brodband [21:35] ubox: If it's fewer, check in Win7 if any of them start with a ".". If it's more in Ubuntu, that's because it's showing hidden files. [21:35] Someone here knows about wine drivers? [21:35] Sid: if thisis usb modem, it may be not that well supported, solution test different driver or modem. [21:35] does vlc player work on ubuntu? [21:35] Sid: yes [21:35] Sid: Yes, it does. sudo apt-get install vlc [21:35] wats this? [21:36] Sid: install it from software center [21:36] Darael, its less in ubuntu [21:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/573215/ [21:36] Sid: The bit after the . was the command to use in a terminal to install it. Alternatively, use the Software Centre. [21:36] ubox: 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] matt_: Cheers. One moment. [21:36] ubox: are you trying to install the wireless adapter in ubuntu virtualbox guest? [21:36] http://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] Darael, its not even the same names [21:37] <[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] just use that command in terminal and it wil start working? [21:37] Old Dells worry me, anyone got Ubuntu on an Optiplex GX240? 1.4Ghz P4, 1Gb SD133, ATI Rage 128 [21:37] ThinkT510, I am trying to install the drivers in ubuntu that is hosted in virtualbox [21:37] ubox: Not sure then, sorry... [21:37] ok so how do i make all the virtual terminals start up as bash shells [21:37] is there any defined way of moving the notification pop up? [21:37] when I do ls it gives me: vistax64 vistax86 win98 winme winx64 winxp2k [21:37] Laibsch: 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. [21:38] <[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] skullboy: bash is the default in ubuntu [21:38] ubox: if ubuntu is a virtualbox guest and you're using win7 as a host you don't need to install wireless drivers [21:38] Laibsch: 141 * 0.05 = 7 GiB [21:38] Darael: ah, right, that's likely, forgot about that. I should probably reduce that. [21:38] Hello. Wine throws this error XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled. [21:38] erUSUL: yep, thanks [21:38] thor- got it.. [21:38] Laibsch: 5% of ext* partitions is reserved for root [21:38] thnx [21:38] and when I do dir in windows I get different files [21:38] skullboy: For one user, use chsh and for system-wide look at update-alternatives. [21:39] well i hav my college 3 hrs later...so i have to sleep atleast 2hrs. thanks to all of you. [21:39] i wil come back tomorrow. [21:39] ThinkT510, its a usb wireless adapter [21:39] <[thor]> Sid: you can also use " apt-cache search <> " to look for applications [21:39] skullboy: all terminals use bash by default [21:39] itaylor57: i want it just to load the bash shell not [21:40] Is there any irc for wine related issues? [21:40] ubox: so you are running ubuntu in virtualbox and trying to install a usb wireless driver? [21:40] <[thor]> faryshta: #winehq [21:40] wtf I'm being port-scanned! Any services I could shut down, just to be safe? [21:40] faryshta: #winehq [21:40] ThinkT510, yes [21:40] !language | Migi32 [21:40] Migi32: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [21:40] ubox: you don't need to [21:40] Migi32: do you have any runnig? by default in a vanilla ubuntu box there is not any [21:40] matt_: You could /try/ "/dev/md0 /media/db ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev 0 0" [21:40] [thor], erUSUL thanks. [21:40] ThinkT510, should I just enable usb device through vbox [21:41] ubox: no [21:41] lol [21:41] Does anyone know how to view PDFs in chromium, I just kept being told "missing plugin" [21:41] erUSUL, I don't remember installing ssh but I see a "ssh-agent" process in the list of processes [21:41] erUSUL, any idea how to shut it down? [21:41] Migi32: that's for managing keys in the client [21:41] Where are the configuration files for Mumble in 10.10? I've set a certificate and now can't join a server and apt-get purge hasn't reset this [21:41] hmm [21:41] ubox: try using the internet in ubuntu, it will automatically use the windows network [21:41] /etc/mumble or /etc/murmur [21:41] erUSUL, ah ok. Then I'm probably fairly safe, my system is up to date [21:41] !firewall | Migi32 [21:41] Migi32: 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. [21:42] BiPolah: /etc/mumur or /etc/mumble - better highlight you [21:42] erUSUL, the port scan is coming from multiple IP addresses, no idea how to write firewall rules against that [21:42] how do i make it so i have to exec the bash shell when i startup [21:42] wireless adapter came with a tool to see which networks are close to me... if I dont install this in ubuntu how do I get a tool that does the same then [21:43] skullboy: What exactly are you trying to achieve? Boot to a shell? [21:43] skullboy, what? [21:43] I don't like that my box is sending back TCP RST messages, making the scan for them way easier... [21:43] Migi32: most firewalls just drop everything by default [21:43] Migi32: You need to "sudo ufw enable"! [21:43] Migi32, it really doesn't matter one bit [21:44] skullboy: what are you trying to do ? [21:44] ubox: try running the ubuntu vm and open a browser in it, it will work because virtualbox forwards windows network connection [21:44] ubox: Just click the network-manager applet? [21:44] Jonta: There's no Mumble folder in /etc/ but I got my user reset so it's okay now [21:44] Migi32, if someone is going to port scan you, they will be using a tool that deals with that [21:44] darael: i want it to just drop the shell so i have to exec the bash shell [21:44] psusi, hmm yeah, good point [21:44] BiPolah: ok good =) [21:44] Migi32, so really all disabling it does is mess up legit traffic [21:45] BiPolah: sometimes people install mumble-server but do not know that it is called murmur [21:45] ThinkT510, I dont want to surf the web with wireless router lol [21:45] Darael, where is that app [21:45] Places -Network? [21:45] ubox: In Ubuntu, it's installed by default and should be in your tray. It's the same tool you use to connect to wifi. [21:46] ubox: Top right. [21:46] Jonta: No, I'm using Mumble client, not the server. It's just that I made myself a certificate and it wouldn't let me connect to a server hosted elsewhere [21:46] Darael: The disk drive for /media/db is not ready yet or not present [21:46] oh I see [21:46] how do i drop the root shell [21:46] Darael, is there another place that lists all the networks besides top right [21:47] <[thor]> skullboy: you want to boot to bash, so you can execute bash? [21:47] skullboy: run: exit [21:47] Darael: Continue to wait; or press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery [21:47] skullboy: run exit, or run logout, or press ctl+d [21:47] matt_: press S for now. [21:47] skullboy: drop? explain in english what you want to do.... [21:47] \leave [21:47] <[thor]> matt_: did you format the RAID? [21:48] [thor]: the raid was already formatted and being used [21:48] Darael, my wireless adapter light keeps flickering like it is busy. Is Ubuntu querying the device constantly or something [21:48] erUSUL: apparently not :) === stephen is now known as Guest55689 [21:49] ActionParsnip: ;P [21:49] ubox: Could be, but if it's a built-in wireless device there have been known issues with the LED not being driven properly, so that it's essentially lying to you. [21:49] now the raid array is not running in disc utility [21:49] Why is it that when i have a certain hard drive plugged in ubuntu takes 10 more minutes to boot? [21:49] matt_: Try looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid - I'm not sure what to do at this point. [21:49] era878: is it healthy? [21:49] Darael, its external usb device [21:49] its really old but it still works [21:50] whats the name of the defult disk usage display? [21:50] Hello. Wine throws this error XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled. [21:50] i want to drop the root shell not the bash shell [21:50] sacarlson, hi, my raid5 is running again! [21:50] faryshta: /join #wine-hq [21:50] !wine | faryshta [21:50] faryshta: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [21:50] sacarlson, my brother got a fsck to run trhough - MANY errors were solved, and i could finally mount it === kn100 is now known as Guest35842 [21:51] skullboy: exit it, and (assuming you got there by sudo or su) you'll be returned to your own shell. [21:51] <[thor]> skullboy: CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to another TTY, and CTRL-ALT-F7 to get back to the gui? [21:51] matt_: Don't follow the instructions on that page exactly, of course, but use it to get an idea of what to do. [21:51] ActionParsnip: 124 bad sectors and 3725 power cycles [21:51] I'm trying to put startxfce4 into /etc/rc.local but on boot it says "X: user not authorizet to run X server, aborting" ... but when I run /etc/rc.local from command line it works. Running out of ideas :-( [21:51] era878: that why then, its dying [21:52] darael: but i dont want it to go back to bash [21:52] darael: . [21:52] skullboy: Then what do you want?! [21:52] fanthomas: did you install Xubuntu? [21:52] matt_: ? [21:52] ActionParsnip: but even then why would it add 10 minutes to the boot time? [21:52] I booted using 10.10 and selected install and I get this error after Allocate drive space=>Install Now: No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitition menu. [21:52] era878: because the drive is struggling to work as it is failing [21:52] ActionParsnip: no.. it's wubi but I'm trying to start xfce directly bypassing gdm [21:52] skullboy: you are making little to no sense. please take a step back and eplain what are you trying to do and why [21:52] 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? [21:53] ActionParsnip: it's single user machine [21:53] <[thor]> skullboy: there is no shell environment called "root shell" [21:53] ugarit: you need to select a root partition to install ubuntu onto [21:53] <[thor]> skullboy: it is a designation for a shell environment that has root access.. be it bash, zsh, csh, or others [21:53] matt_: 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] fanthomas: may help: http://www.shallowsky.com/blog/linux/autologin.html [21:54] ThinkT510 and how do i do that? [21:54] <[thor]> i am not experienced with RAID [21:54] !partition | ugarit [21:54] ugarit: For help with partitioning a new install see: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/switching/installing-partitioning.html - For partitioning programs see !GParted, !QtParted (!Kubuntu 8.10 and lower) or !PartitionManager (!Kubuntu 9.04 and up) - Other partitioning topics include !fstab !home and !swap [21:54] <[thor]> i only asked because the screengrab showed "Format this RAID" [21:54] i want to get to sh [21:54] darael: i think the only problem is the raid shuts itself off and its trying to mount a raid that is offline when it reboots. [21:54] [thor]: Then I apologise for poking someone at you. [21:54] matt_: Indeed. However, I'm not sure how to deal with that. [21:54] !details | skullboy [21:54] skullboy: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

[21:55] hey i cant figure out how to run a command when the system boots. i want to run 'sudo xboxdrv -wid 0' at boot [21:55] matt_: I'm afraid you'll have to go back to generic-channel-questioning; I don't think I can help you any further. I'm sorry. [21:55] skullboy: sh is not the bourne shell on ubuntu [21:55] ugarit: try upgrading gparted in the liveCD, may help [21:55] <[thor]> skullboy: http://linuxwave.blogspot.com/2009/03/changing-default-shell-in-ubuntu.html [21:55] is there a nice plugin that shows all the wireless networks around me with their encryption? [21:56] skullboy: sh on ubuntu is dash [21:56] aaearon: crontab, or create an init-script. Or better yet, tell the channel what the actual thing you want to achieve is - there may turn out to be a better way. [21:56] aaearon: easiest way is putting the command in /etc/rc.local ( without the sudo ) [21:56] itaylor: so how do i get to dash [21:56] skullboy: sh in terminal [21:56] skullboy: from where? [21:57] ubox: System->Preferences->Startup Applications [21:57] After upgrading my ubuntu 10.10 kernel to 2.6.35-25, my broadcom wireless card stopped showing up (it's not showing in lspci), before, it had installed the drivers through the restricted drivers dialog, and everything was working fine, any ideas on what could be causing this? [21:57] skullboy: Please, just tell us what the thing you're trying to do is. Not the intermediate steps (get to dash/close a root shell/etc) but the final aim. It'll make it a /lot/ easier to help. [21:57] hello [21:58] is that normal that when I go in "/proc/acpi/fan/", theres no fan? [21:58] i think my fan isnt working / supported [21:58] <[thor]> ubox: sudo apt-get install wifi-radar [21:58] jpmonette: My fan seems to be working fine, and that folder is empty on my system too. [21:58] <[thor]> ubox: then --> gksudo wifi-radar [21:58] jpmonette: Therefore, don't worry about it. [21:58] how do i add a directory to $PATH? i tried, but when i closed the terminal and started it again it was gone [21:58] yes, but my sensors tell me that my PC is at 50C [21:58] Kaeles: if you ru: dmesg | less and read, is the device detected?

[22:08] mickster04: the old url was too hard to remember, so they made a short one at isup.me [22:08] Kaeles: even if there is no driver for it. it should appear in lspci === becquervera is now known as Reisilver [22:08] <[thor]> mr_shed: i use cairo-dock to replace my panels.. search in the Software Center for cairo-GLX [22:08] erUSUL: It can't be disabled in bios, checked that, and reseated it.

[22:09] [thor]: the daily-ppa is really stable and is well worth installing over the one from the default repos [22:09] Kaeles: Hold shift at boot time and you'll get a GRUB menu. Use that to boot the old kernel. [22:09] [thor]: weekly rather [22:09] Kaeles: if you did not removed it it should be in the grub menu. if the menu does not appear when you boot press shift during start up to force it to appear [22:09] Darael: ok [22:09] <[thor]> mr_shed: http://uppix.net/6/7/d/d6e0b2f03881c6ece29aa9b81e987.png <-- screenshot of my cairo [22:09] Hi [22:10] How do i create a new user?

[22:12] erUSUL: I wish it was that, but you are unable to disable it through the bios. [22:12] Kaeles: then i dunno. do you dualboot? check if windows detects it [22:12] I don't know what distro for server should I choose. Ubuntu server, debian or fedora?

[22:13] looks awesome [22:13] ActionParsnip: found the solution for the X server... in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config should be allowed_users=anybody, then startxfce4 works from rc.local .... uff [22:13] plmkoi: Go with what you know best. [22:14] plmkoi: In terms of suitability, there's little to choose (though I advise using Lucid rather than Maverick if you go for Ubuntu, since it's LTS) so what you know is best.

Example of places it can happen: http://ur1.ca/3cg3b [22:15] Darael: I know best ubuntu, but is it stable for server? [22:15] plmkoi: I run my sever on Ubuntu - I suggest sticking to LTS releases, but it's stable, yes. [22:16] I am new to linux, i use windows [22:16] plmkoi: Current uptime is only a couple of days, but that's only because I rebooted it after I finally got around to upgrading it to lucid.

I only ever used the one passphrase? [22:55] ok when i switch ttyx the xserv is crashed it only is stable on tty7 [22:55] The only password I ever gave ubuntu was the login pass. [22:55] c0ldshadow: the people that makes the hardware does drivers for windows. the drivers for linux are made by voluntiers without help most of the time [22:55] arbitrator: maybe the installer just generates a random one [22:55] arbitrator: when you first started your system after setting up ecryptfs there was a popup window with the ecryptfs-passphrase. [22:55] arbitrator, well...usually you can generate a passphrase right after installation/setting up an encrypted home ... and you should write it down then [22:56] arbitrator: see Ampelbein and rumpe1 [22:56] Ampelbein: I. . . no. . . damn. . . no. . . nonononono [22:56] It is written down. . . in the fucking home directory. . .
