[00:00] tim167: where are you reading this? [00:00] and changing the reference in reprepro provides the update [00:00] in short, i think there is a problem with the us-east1 ec2 repository [00:00] jrib: http://www.bakefile.org/wiki/Debian , but i think i'll have to build it from source anyway... [00:01] Does anyone know a GUI file manager that allows me to create hard links with a simple [modifier] + Mouse button? [00:01] jrib: there's only a Hardy binary apparently [00:01] silk: could be. im still pretty newb so i am not fam w/ changing to a different one - glad u figured out [00:01] one_question: (It's !ohmy is what you're looking for I think) [00:01] tim167: in any case the instructions for adding the key are there in step 1 [00:02] Stereocaulon: nautilus scripts? [00:02] jrib: yes, but the _key_ is not [00:02] jrib: or is the key just '-' ? [00:02] gsp2009, any pointers on that? [00:02] tim167: look at what comes first, before the pipe. You download the key with that command and feed it to apt-key [00:02] I was happy to see that 10.04.2 includes the updated firefox 3.13 [00:03] gsp2009, you mean http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/ ? [00:03] tim167: is this software maintained currently? The packages don't seem to be [00:03] jrib: i think that page is a bit outdated...i get gpg: no writable keyring found: eof [00:03] I'm stuck on Windows 7 because I have overwritten grub by installing win7, now i'm on holidays and i need a way to install grub WITHOUT any medium like cd or flashdrive as i don't have any of it [00:03] Is there a way to take the 10.04.2 iso and remove openoffice and add vlc, and third party drivers? [00:03] <[thor]> tim167: the key is in key.asc [00:03] hi [00:03] then rerollup the iso [00:04] tim167: what exactly did you type? [00:04] Stereocaulon: that be the one. Anything in there that helps? [00:04] magicianlord, yes, you could bake your own iso [00:04] jrib: i typed literally: "curl http://apt.tt-solutions.com/key.asc | apt-key add -" [00:04] Stereocaulon: i would need an easy and quick way to do it [00:04] tim167: you need "sudo apt-key" [00:04] i have a dual boot system with windows 7 on one partition and ubuntu installed on the other.. i want to be able to backup my whole computer (both OS's) as a system image onto a portable hdd. does anyone know a good tool which can do this? [00:04] nathic: im sure u dont wanna spend any $ but if u go to radioshack (if in states) plus many others can get flash drive for $10 [00:05] magicianlord, there is no quick and easy way. [00:05] jrib: ok, i'd expect a 'permission denied' message then :p [00:05] magicianlord, sorry to disappoint you on that... [00:05] jrib: alas gpg: no writable keyring found: eof === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [00:06] gsp2009, I'll look around a bit before reinventing the wheel. [00:06] tim167: what does « sudo apt-key list » do? [00:06] Stereocaulon: there should be a way to do it [00:06] hi [00:07] geoffmcc :D i have lots of flashdrives at home... that's what's getting on my nerves [00:07] nathic: neverf did it but found -- http://ubuntu.sabza.org/2008/03/21/fixing-grub-from-within-windows/ [00:07] nathic: I can think of some pretty convoluted ways to do it if you're desparate. [00:07] nathic: time to put one of em on your keychain :-P [00:07] jrib: i do get something that looks like a list of keys [00:07] tim167: dinner time, but make sure everything is okay with /etc/apt/trusted.gpg (man apt-key) [00:08] Stereocaulon: is this what you are mean? http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/File%20System%20Management/create_symbolic_links [00:08] i have a dual boot system with windows 7 on one partition and ubuntu installed on the other.. i want to be able to backup my whole computer (both OS's) as a system image onto a portable hdd. does anyone know a good tool which can do this? [00:08] jrib: bon apétit :) [00:08] nathic: the post looks easy enough to me [00:08] geoffmcc :D yeah absolutely .. thanks for the link gona test that [00:08] Jordan_U thanks can i referr to u if geoffmcc's link doesn't work for me [00:08] magicianlord, I agree, but I know of no such possibility. There are a few specialised programs for it, but they are not quick, but maybe more easy than editing the software source list yourself. [00:08] nathic looks like if dont fix grub will at least allow u in ubuntu till get home too [00:09] * gsp2009 wonders what happened to his english. One minute he is a pirate, the next english is not his mother tongue... ugh. [00:09] gsp2009, No, thanks for the suggestion, I need *hard* links, not symlinks. Symlinks can be made easy enough.

[00:14] http://pastie.org/1618857 is a bug I think in some software in 10.10. [00:14] g0r33k: Yeah sorry about just saying your name and nothing else. I missed Shift and hit Enter.

[00:14] hey === Newbie101 is now known as newbie101 [00:15] gsp2009, Hard links can be used within rockridge extensions of CDFS and are relative, rather than absolute. You can use them to provide for instance different categories for say...photo's without having to copy each photo in each directory seperately. Call it a crude form of a tag database [00:15] mr-john: did you add those items above in your config [00:15] drexl: did u say extension=libphp5.so ? [00:15] Starminn: waiting for apt-get to exit it says ? [00:15] javahorn: Do you have a slow connection?

Just Software Center then Screenlets [00:16] zeroelixis: I tried those but that is for the old version of Grub [00:16] mr-john (Family friendly please) [00:16] yes [00:16] but broadband huawei modem [00:16] that is weird I have only heard of the exit code 141 [00:17] Starminn: ohh sorry [00:17] I have an ssh with another machine through the command line, is there anyway of viewing through a gui which isnt vnc?

Seems to me that you change the name of that script and remove the -s and you are set. [00:17] Question: When you hit Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a virtual terminal, how do you change the resolution of that terminal in ubuntu 10.10? [00:18] mr-jon did you restrat apche after you installed php! [00:18] gsp2009, thx for the help on this (slightly?) off-topic issue.

[00:47] ZenGuy311, its aserver got nothing but ssh and cloud access, but no permission to add disks, and its unmanaged, so i have to setup everything again using vmware conosle [no cd or floppy] and ssh [00:47] sysadm, I'm afraid you'll need either physical access or access through a serial line connected to your server. On top of that you'll need to able to (re)start your server from WakeOnLAN, or WakeOnCall [00:47] torsion: On boot up if you hold the Shift key, (I think) a Recovery Console is launched. let me find that page for you.

[00:50] torsion: I am thinking that there is a configuration error in the kernel, that Rescue Command at boot can usually and most often does repair such errors. [00:50] bstarek, you removed ubuntu, only windows is installed ryt ? [00:50] agustinyanu, I am guessing you would need the ndiswrapper for it to work [00:50] bhuey: try users-admin [00:50] gnewb okay thanks I appreciatethat. Have a good one!

[00:54] bhuey: did you lover the refresh rate to something like 60hz? [00:54] Stereocaulon, unmanaged cloud, no one there till end of march [00:54] bstarek: easily if u have a ubuntu livecd [00:54] sysadm, if it concerns a physical server, you would *need* a physical serial line between superserver and target server.

I'm feeling more lost on that one than the first error message. Any suggestions? [01:12] gsp2009: another thing to look into is whether your router's (if you use one) firmware and support for dynamic dns services.. i have aftermarket firmware on mine so i can't remember whether the original firmware supported it or not, but mine can automatically update to multiple dynamic dns providers [01:12] I farted:( [01:12] I sowwy [01:12] vismundCygnus yes that strange it looks the ubuntu it works all the install until the end but less the "forward button" to finish the install i was thnking if this is ome bug or what [01:12] gsp2009: now that i think of it =- it probably cause i still have it setup in m dd-wrt router to update if it ever changes [01:12] s/and support/has support/ [01:12] ok Next question - I also need mplex and vcdimager accordoing to Brasero (trying to make a VCD to see if it works on my DVD player) - Do I use apt-get to get those to?

I would first try to boot up with an older kernel that worked, then from there if that does not work reinstall the video drivers [02:59] banker247, if on kde kflickr [02:59] ahh so i was using photobucket and it doesn't seem to work that good with ubuntu.. flickr is the solution? [03:00] banker247: are they computer savvy? if not, i would say imageshack - if they are, try something like an ftp server, if its local, maybe a samba share? [03:00] rshackleCran: I don't know how to boot with an older kernel that worked or if that was updated or anything [03:00] coz_: looks like I'll need to reconfigure to use sixxs.net instead of tunnelbroker.net if I'm to use aiccu, yes? [03:00] banker247, I just started using flickr ..its fast ,,,easy and not bad to deal with [03:00] banker247: either that or you can use Picasa, if you really wanna [03:00] scrim 5v5 pm me [03:00] DouglasK, oh ok,,, I am probably the biggest "doof" with any type of networking :) [03:00] scrim 5v5 pm me [03:00] scrim 5v5 pm me [03:00] whats the desktop app for flickr that any good? [03:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/573768/ Heres what I'm asking [03:01] banker247, I use frogr here [03:01] Photocopy, Simplest way would be to reboot and select one of the older versions at the grub boot screen. [03:01] does picaasa work well with ubuntu? [03:01] Photocopy, This also might be a problem that is better suited for the forums. [03:01] banker247, it looks somewhat simple but a few minutes and you will get the hang of it,,, it also uploads mulitple photos and descriptions at one time [03:01] rshackleCran: my laptop doesn't display grub on startup... it just launches straight into ubuntu [03:02] rshackleCran: can I force it to show grub's menu? [03:02] Photocopy: hold shift while booting to get grub menu [03:02] WirelessNot: u still here [03:02] zombie_: dont know of anything [03:02] banker247, if you install frogr it shows up in the graphics menu as flickr Remote Organizer [03:02] thanks gaelfx. rshackleCran: i'll try booting with an older version then, if I can make that work [03:02] gaelfx: left ctrl it is for grub 2 [03:02] No themes or anything?

[03:05] how do I get a dock [03:05] zombie_, that looks like cairo dock [03:06] zombie_, sudo apt-get install cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins I believe or you can use the weekly bzr PPA [03:06] banker247, on flickr make sure you set the account for public or private viewing... if private only the people you want to view it can view it [03:07] geoffmcc: aver-wmi... no such device [03:07] thanks [03:07] how can I tell if I installed skype? [03:07] zombie_: just open the Ubuntu Software Center and search for "dock" [03:07] zombie_, if you want the PPA let me know I would also open synaptic package manager and search for cairo dock to make sure you install all of the necessary packages for it [03:07] coz_: Why always the Terminal path?

I am trying to use a bash script to move some files around [04:05] i'm wondering too [04:05] what this seamonkey? [04:05] ndxtg: That would be file-roller, it gives Compress... option in context menu [04:06] and i like rediculous games [04:06] ndxtg: or maybe gzip does it too... [04:06] it wouldnt be much fun if something rediculous didnt happen xD === phuzion_ is now known as phuzion [04:07] brian_: Be good boy, use Opera (for ultimate speed get links2) [04:07] opera has java, can play minecraft and such games? [04:07] Anyone can help me to configuere host table??

[04:08] shcherbak: no idea, I installed both gzip and file-roller (as told before) but it does not show up in right click [04:08] I appear to have a booting problem. I installed Windows alongside Ubuntu today, so I've just followed the wiki's steps on restoring GRUB. However, when I boot from my hard drive, I get a totally black screen. What do I do? [04:08] ndxtg: one sec (something is missing in Nautilus) [04:09] why ubuntu kernel freeze when I try to start in single mode(recovery console)? [04:09] hi! i'm trying to set up a *really* lightweight ubuntu- installing openbox/xinit on ubuntu server 10.10 gets me to about 75 megs. One of the biggest users of memory at this point is rsyslogd. Can i run ubuntu w/o it? [04:09] andorin-install on a nother drive and recover the partitions? [04:09] =/ [04:10] mbr is @$$%# [04:10] maukarus: I don't have another hard drive available. [04:10] usb? [04:10] Yes [04:10] 4gb-8gb? [04:10] I have a 4 GB flash drive... why? [04:10] do you havd a win cd or restore? [04:11] min install size is about 3.6 gb [04:11] You're not going to tell me to reinstall both systems, are you? [04:11] well hopefully u didnt mess up a recovery partiton.. === nfredrich is now known as iRabbit === bigcat is now known as PLLLLLL [04:12] I can restore Windows if I need to. However, it would be a serious pain to reinstall Windows and Ubuntu tonight. === AndChat is now known as Guest36946 === PLLLLLL is now known as PLO [04:12] the usb install would be handy to see whats left on the drives [04:12] Andorin, I have the same problem with windows... solved with virutal box ;-) [04:12] xD [04:12] Windows in a VM isn't what I need, tho [04:13] so is it tru updates sometimes break grub on wubi innstalls? [04:13] If I try reinstalling GRUB from the live CD again, might it work? [04:13] yea [04:13] ndxtg: need nautilus-sendto, http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/gnome/nautilus-sendto [04:13] grubs should see the partitons..should be an option to boot grub? [04:14] No. When I start my computer, I get my BIOS screen, then a moment of a dark screen with a blinking cursor, then the display goes entirely black. Like I unplugged my monitor. [04:14] right [04:14] Often when I wake up from suspend, the physical buttons on the touchpad stop working, yet I can still click by tapping the touchpad itself. Any idea what could be causing this? [04:15] Andorin: It should, if not try to chroot system (if this fails you have a problem) [04:15] Anyway, booting into live CD... *waits several minutes* [04:15] shcherbak: What is chrooting the system? [04:15] there is no bootable media..or something is shorting out? [04:15] one of the 2 xD [04:15] Hi guys... new doing this.... help [04:15] if u can boot an os and run.. it shouldn't be anything serious [04:16] unable to connect to facebook trhu ubuntu 10.04... help [04:16] ?

(Just trying to get more info so others can help too) [04:17] ^ [04:17] joadri: And what browsers have you tried it with [04:17] Andorin: Way to start system via liveCD [04:17] I m using mozilla and yes, it works for evething else [04:17] shcherbak: I can boot from live CD or USB just fine [04:17] word [04:18] I ve tried using chrome with same results [04:18] I am new to world of linux, is it good to have it installed within window [04:18] sure [04:18] gibss37: No, you don't want ot use WUBI if you can help it [04:18] Starminn, why? [04:18] why [04:19] Andorin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling GRUB 2 (method 3 is chroot) [04:19] maukarus gibss37: I mean, it's fine if you use it on occasion, but the "proper" way is to install it to a partition (which it does automatically for you), plus if something were to happen ot Windows, your Ubuntu would be fried too [04:20] gibss37 maukarus: In addition, it will run slower in WUBI than if you had done a proper install. [04:20] Starminn, so it's fine..do you know how to increase the swap file size? [04:20] Starminn: yeah that is the main thing. when ever i tried ubuntu like this and recovered window ubuntu also gets currupted [04:20] !swap [04:20] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [04:20] ty? [04:20] shcherbak: Okay, when I get booted up from my live CD (which is taking some time), I'll give it a try [04:20] Starminn... I am able to connect from work, not from home [04:21] i do have 500 gb free memory [04:21] can anyone tell me of a media manager that will pull the metadata │ adaptr [04:21] gibss37: That's because Ubuntu is *inside* of Windows. If you were to do a proper install then it wouldn't matter what Windows does. [04:21] | and rename my music file names, having an issue with pulling │ ader10 [04:21] gibs recovering windows creates a new mbr/partiton table for windows [04:21] maukarus: But it doesn't matter because in WUBI if Windows dies, and Ubuntu is in Windows, Ubuntu dies too. [04:22] if i do make 20 gb free new parition using windows, can i install a fresh there [04:22] Starminn, my point is either way..both would be fried [04:22] can anyone tell me of a media manager that will rename my music file names by pulling the info from the metadata.. im having issues with getting my music off of my ipod. all the file names are .. garbage. [04:22] gibss37: Yeah, I think my Ubuntu is sitting on 30GB and I'm only using 15GB (150GB HDD) while Windows has 90GB since it has my music [04:22] any reason the drive would fail, would make it useless xD [04:23] maukarus: So Windows dying == drive fail? [04:23] gibs u can also use usb devices to store stuff on === ferret__ is now known as ferret_ [04:23] needhelp1: That's because iTunes encrypts them when its added to your iPod.

Can anyone tell me how to delete any Nvidia drivers and restore my x server settings to their default in Ubuntu 10.10? [04:24] Starminn, quite often...it's data loss or something that made the table curropt..that would make the system not boot randomly [04:24] gibss37: Yes, I dual-boot. [04:24] gr8 [04:24] xD [04:24] i dual boot my samsung n150..which is fryed much the same way [04:25] maukarus: Point taken. I at first couldn't install Ubuntu because I had to defrag Windows twice and CHKDSK once [04:25] blank screen no boot..but it did have 275*f temps last i ran it.. [04:25] so if i make a new partition using windows management utility and boot using CD, then ? [04:25] GFXdisabled: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:25] gibss37: You don't even have to do that much. [04:25] needhelp1: and cowbell (used this one on few occasions), if you use gtk-pod and anyplayer your tags should be ok [04:25] GFXdisabled: also you might want to delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:26] so what should i do, please tell me in explanation [04:26] Hi [04:26] DasEi, you rock so very much! [04:26] gibss37: If you pop in the LiveCD and boot from it just hit "Install" and it'll do all that for you. Just hit "Install alongside" drag tohow much space you want to give it, and it'll take care of the rest. [04:26] ^ [04:26] I thought Ubuntu 10.10 didn't have a xorg.conf by default? [04:26] gibss37: Hit "Show me how" on #3 here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [04:26] Cho peeps [04:27] so is it safe, you sure it will make a new partition and install it there [04:27] gibss37: I'm sorry, I meant on #4 [04:27] GFXdisabled: true, but drivers set them up, also users can still use them [04:27] gibss37: IF you don't trust it you can manually do it yourself, certainly, but I've installed it twice on this machine while Windows is on it and I've never once had a problem. [04:27] I am using acer aspire one 532h,with ubuntu 10.04,i am unable to record input sound,i am able to play the songs,but i am unable to record the input to the netbook,can any one suggest me what to do,it is very important to me [04:27] how do i repair packages? add/remove keeps asking me to i thought i did [04:28] maukarus: can try from init1, by dpkg [04:28] Starminn: I was afraid as I have extremely imp data [04:28] DasEi: Ah. Gotcha. I'm fairly illiterate when it comes to the CLI. What is the command to "delete" a file from the CLI? (My GUI is dead, which is why I have to do this in the first place). [04:28] Anyone having glitching problems with DE 10.10? [04:28] maukarus: (command logs you off x!) sudo init 1 brings you there [04:28] Hi. How can I purge the wine directories? apt-get purge wine failed. === beau__ is now known as Guest77370 [04:28] k [04:29] Unable to connect to fb from home, able to do it from work... Using Firefox, ubuntu 10.04... help... [04:29] GFXdisabled: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:29] gibss37: If it's that important then you can do it yourself, yeah. YOu'll need two partitions. One that is however many GB you want to give Ubuntu formatted as ext4 (as opposed to Windows being NTFS) and another for swap abotu 2GB [04:29] joa something at home is blocking fb [04:29] have u called your isp? [04:29] or done anything to a firewall in linux? [04:30] gibss37: You should have backups of important data no matter what you're doing. [04:30] I am using acer aspire one 532h,with ubuntu 10.04,i am unable to record input sound,i am able to play the songs,but i am unable to record the input to the netbook,can any one suggest me what to do,it is very important to me [04:30] gibs and multiple bootable drives/devices xD [04:30] so if i create a new fresh free space with windows, unformatted, will ubuntu install there [04:30] gibss37: Yes. [04:30] gibss37: If you tell it to. You'll have to choose "Manually specify partitions" but yeah [04:31] maukarus... did not call my isp... I have not done anything to firewall... don't know how :) [04:31] Starminn: You don't need to do manual partitioning to just use free space. [04:31] joa does the isp package this software for you? [04:31] Jordan_U: Starminn so you mean to say that it will auto format it to ext4 [04:32] joa try ?isitdownorjustme.com? [04:32] now what about swap [04:32] DasEi: RM! How sad I've forgotten even that. I need to play with CLI again and more thoroughly. Thank you so much for your time and patience. [04:32] which package? Software for the router? [04:32] Jordan_U: Really? I never tried it, but I was always under the assumption thatit just equally grabbed and allocated space for itself. (For example, if I were to have Windows and SUSE it would only show one of the two on the new slider installer) [04:32] gibss37: If you tell it to install to the free space it will create a root and swap partition automatically. [04:33] Starminn: Yes, but he's talking about creating free space before hand. [04:33] joadri, yes, or at the isp itself, they may advertise they have norton or mcaffe etc or something [04:33] Hi. How can I purge the wine directories? apt-get purge wine failed. [04:33] Jordan_U: thats great i try it meanwhile, i will be back if i face any probs again [04:33] faryshta: mv ~/.win ~/.wine-bak [04:33] Jordan_U: So he wouldn't have to "Choose partitions manually?" at install prompt? And just do "this is ext4 mounted at root", etc., et.c? [04:34] Jordan_U: It'll fill the space itself? [04:34] Starminn: Yes. [04:34] Jordan_U: That's super! :) [04:34] Jordan_U, already deleted .wine but everytime I reinstall wine it loads with the previous settings. [04:34] No, maukarus... Since I'm using ubuntu i have none of those packages [04:34] faryshta: you can manually remove the .wine - dir [04:35] faryshta: What symptoms are you seeing? [04:35] DasEi, already deleted the /home/faryshta/.wine/ but the settings still load with every reinstall. [04:35] joadri, xD [04:35] what's that website you told me? What do I do once I get there? [04:35] joadri, type in facebook.com === MTecknology is now known as pfSensory [04:36] Jordan_U, wine simply doesn't load, an error message appears saying "X Error of failed request: XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled" [04:36] ?

[04:37] xD that is me saying it might or might not be spelled correctly [04:37] Ok [04:38] Let me try... I will be back [04:38] k [04:39] joadri: use a proxy, case blocked [04:39] how do you find out the device path thats connected through USB (Win CE 6 device) [04:39] internal mic is not working,tried pavucontrol also,what to do [04:40] maodun: Is this on a computer not controlled by you? There are many backup solutions that use hard links. [04:40] Spirits-Sight: open it, type mount in trml [04:40] Is someone familiar with this error message from wine? X Error of failed request: XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled [04:40] case blocked? [04:40] Jordan_U: ah, yeah, it's a VPS [04:40] faryshta: sorry, I'm not , maybe also ask in #winehq [04:41] Jordan_U: and I just looked at another VPS from the same provider, and it too has many /sbini/init hard links, so I don't think it's problematic [04:41] maukarus: in case FB is blocked, he could tunnel via proxy to access it [04:41] thanks === secoif_ is now known as secoif [04:42] maukarus.... the site seems to be a movies, entertaiment site... [04:42] how is everyone liking Ubuntu Desktop Edition 10.10? [04:42] DasEi: it does not seem to be showing when typing "mount" [04:43] Joe___: i think its fantastic [04:43] joa xc [04:43] Spirits-Sight: you opened the devices under places ? [04:43] you haven't had any issues with installation? [04:43] decice* [04:43] or glitches? [04:43] not at all [04:44] Okay, now I have a problem with my flash drive. When I select it in gparted it says the space is unallocated. If I try to create a filesystem, it asks me to create a partition table. If I go Device > Create a Partition Table, it gives me an error. [04:44] joa, u can google it.. it's a site lookup and testing site [04:44] DasEi: I know the device won't show as mass storage device as its a display so would it still show using mount? [04:44] Joe___: Runs like a dream over here. [04:44] Joe___: past month ive installed it on a 10 year old server, a 3 year old laptop and a day year old netbook [04:44] xc? Ok... Let me try... [04:45] and you've had no issues at all? [04:45] nope [04:45] are you? [04:45] DasEi, do you know where can I find a tutorial to install a virtual machine with XP? [04:45] yes and i'm not sure why [04:45] Spirits-Sight: ah, no I assumed storage, lsusb will show device, and for mountpoint either guess under /dev or grep it out the output of hwinfo [04:46] whats the problem? [04:46] faryshta: yes, go to virtualbox homepage, and pm me for further questions on it [04:46] Installation froze at least 4 times and once it was installed it froze/glitched out so I upgraded my hardware and the glitching persisted [04:46] maukarus... went to websitepulse and the result came back with status ok [04:46] faryshta: also there is #vbox [04:47] Joe___: how are you installing it [04:47] hello everybody.... [04:47] any one please solve my issue with internal mic [04:47] Joe___: Is Windows installed on the machine already? The same thing happened to me and apparently I had to defrag and CHKDSK Windows then it worked fine. [04:47] DasEi, all the other irc seems dead. I asked this same question yesterday on winehq and still haven't got answer. [04:47] Not able to connect thou [04:47] faryshta: are you using latest wine from ppa ? [04:47] Was it a bad idea to use dd to write an Ubuntu .iso to my flash drive? [04:47] I'm installing using a burnt disc made with ImgBurn [04:47] joa, ok then something in route or on pc blocks it.. have u cleared tmp or cleaned the drive? [04:48] no [04:48] No, wine1.2 from repositories. [04:48] AK|lt: depends which iso, a few only boot this way,if that was the question [04:48] yessir. on a completely formatted HDD [04:48] are u able to login to the router? this is where the isp comes in.. [04:48] Joe___: when does the installation freeze? [04:48] DasEi, no, wine1.2 from repos. [04:48] I have 2 computer with ubuntu. Both the same problem at home. The laptob able to connect from work [04:48] cleareding cache and cookies may help [04:49] hmm [04:49] DasEi: how would I get the information using grep I got the ID stuff Bus 001 Device 008: ID 1c71:c004 [04:49] isp needs to know [04:49] maukarus: I think saying "joa" is confusing "Joe." Just hit TAB to auto-complete [04:49] xD [04:49] Also, both able to connect with windows thru the same router [04:49] DasEi: The standard 10.10 x86 iso. Anyway, as I said, I seem to have lost the ability to use this flash drive. Gparted reports that it's all unallocated space but I can't create partitions or partition tables [04:49] heh [04:49] AK|lt: dding an Ubuntu iso to a flash drive won't lead to anything bootable, but it doesn't hurt the flash drive. [04:49] is there a Ubuntu Server edition and a Ubuntu workstation ? [04:49] I am going planning on installing Ubuntu on this new drive I got. [04:49] faryshta: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubntu-wine/ppa [04:49] Jordan_U: Okay, good... any tips on fixing it? [04:50] nvm then [04:50] I'm a developer - and I'd like to play around with this cloud stuffs from Oracle. [04:50] faryshta: sudo apt-get update [04:50] AK|lt: What error do you get when you try to create a partition table? [04:50] i'm not sure exactly when the freezing starts [04:50] maybe about 1/4 of the way through [04:50] Proxima|Centauri: Server: http://www.ubuntu.com/server Not sure about "workstation" [04:50] Jordan_U: Input/output error during write on /dev/sdb [04:50] I don't know if there is one version of Ubuntu that I want. [04:50] faryshta: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine [04:50] AK|lt: That means that there is a hardware problem with the flash drive. [04:50] thanks Starminn [04:50] Often when I wake up from suspend, the physical buttons on the touchpad stop working, yet I can still click by tapping the touchpad itself. Any idea what could be causing this? [04:50] do the devices have an ip address? [04:50] faryshta: sudo apt-get install wine1.3 [04:51] check by looking at connection info [04:51] Joe___: need more information, 1/4 through initializing, or copying files, or partitioning? [04:51] maukarus: no, but a devicepath [04:51] Jordan_U: And this coincidentally happened when I dd'd the Ubuntu .iso onto it? [04:51] AK|lt: Yes. [04:51] xD [04:51] Will try. [04:51] hmm - what might be something I'd notice I want server for if I install regular Ubuntu ? [04:51] * syrinx_ requires more minerals [04:51] Spirits-Sight: sudo hwinfo | grep SearchWordHere, f.e. manufacturer [04:51] Jordan_U: I ran dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb and it seemed to write to it alright [04:52] DasEi, thanks, will try. [04:52] playing Starcraft II Syrinx ? [04:52] initializing [04:52] AK|lt: That's odd, maybe there is a different problem then. [04:52] AK|lt: Are you familiar with fdisk? [04:52] I have to connection info open... What should I be looking at? [04:52] Proxima|Centuari: i wish...crappy onboard intels [04:52] Jordan_U: No, not really [04:53] Ip address is for my laptop I guess... [04:53] there should be a connection icon in the top right depending on what os exactly u have, like i have xubuntu [04:53] Joe___: so are you trying to install alongside windows or? clean install? [04:54] I have open [04:54] joadri, right click it [04:54] k [04:54] I have to window open [04:54] AK|lt: aren't you missing a partition number? /dev/sdb1 ? [04:54] Proxima|Centauri: YOu mean the difference between Server and Desktop? I'm rpetty sure Server = no GUI. I'm unfamiliar with the server Edition though so just compare the feature list between http://www.ubuntu.com/server and http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop [04:54] sorry.. I am saying I have to connect info window open [04:54] bastidrazor: Perhaps, but I don't know what's wrong with the drive at all [04:55] Starminn: server edition has gui, too, but another packet-selection and default-kernel [04:55] ?? ah right [04:55] bastidrazor: No, he doesn't have any partition table at the moment, thus no sdb1. [04:55] how to know which kernel i am suing,command to know which kernel i am using [04:55] DasEi Proxima|Centauri: Ah, gotcha. It has a GUI, just not the same as Desktop or anything [04:55] so it doesnt even list a device? [04:55] Starminn: it's just what comes preselected on cd,you can from apt mangle this back and forth [04:55] no [04:56] DasEi: Yeah, I know you can add a GUI. ;) Just saying by default it's not too pretty from what I've heard. [04:56] does the laptop have a wifi switch? can u connect with a wire? [04:56] I can use a wire yes [04:56] AK|lt: Run "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" to start fdisk, it should give you some warnings that there is no disklabel yet, that's expected. [04:56] yeah, I read for server here: Ubuntu Server on Amazon's Elastic Computing (EC2) cloud allows you to build on-demand virtual systems on almost any scale with minimal in-house hardware requirements. Amazon EC2 fits perfectly with Ubuntu Server Edition's modularity, virtualisation capabilities, range of applications and optimised performance. [04:56] Starminn: surface is same in default install, for headless you must use alternate installer (terminal only, expert install mode) [04:57] This is what I want [04:57] kothaguy_ubuntu, uname -a [04:57] joadri, try it with that wire [04:57] But remenber... The PC is connected with a wire and doesnt connecto to fb neither [04:57] DasEi: Ah. [04:57] ok [04:57] I'll connect the wire if you want me to [04:57] Jordan_U: "Unable to open /dev/sdb" [04:57] but it should be given a new ip.. [04:58] ok... Let me get the wire [04:58] AK|lt: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [04:58] if its not too much trouble xD [04:58] my apologies. i'll brb [04:59] maukarus: , joadri: ifconfig shows connection info [04:59] maybe too much.. [05:00] but it didnt detect or use devices..both laptops can't connect to facebook, but net is fine otherwise [05:00] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/sEBcG7rU [05:00] joadri: you can't call http://www.facebook.com in browser ? [05:01] no pc's @home could connect..joadri's isssue [05:01] maukarus: so you are the FB fan then, ah [05:01] uh no... not right now.. [05:02] i check on it, but dont browse or post at this time xD [05:03] Jordan_U: Hi now i am getting an error that "No root file system is defined.........." [05:03] can anybody please tell howto configure wifi in ubuntu10.04? [05:03] Gibss37: Don't select manual partitioning. [05:03] Gibss37: Just select the option to use the free space. [05:03] stignatius, its auti config'd?? [05:04] maukarus: I'm wondered, it was you or joad.. that couldn't get to FB ? [05:04] AK|lt: Does /dev/sdb exist? [05:04] joadri xD [05:04] the free space is not as an primary one it is as exteneted one [05:04] Jordan_U: How can I determine that? [05:04] AK|lt: ls -l /dev/sdb [05:05] joadri: you can't call http://www.facebook.com in browser ? [05:05] **extended [05:05] Jordan_U: Yup, I got output for it [05:05] DasEi: He left 2 minutes ago [05:05] he may be afk =/ [05:05] i need help trying to get games to work properly on ubuntu 10.10 i got half life 2 to work but its laggy and i have to shut it off using system monitor, any ideas on what i can do to fix this? [05:05] ah, thanks Starminn [05:05] maukarus, some of the laptops of my school are autoconfigured ,but not all [05:05] AK|lt: Did you use sudo? "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb"? [05:06] maukarus, which are the packages needed for that? [05:06] DasEi: I'l let you know if I happen to see his /join again tonight [05:06] so what i should do now [05:06] Jordan_U: Yes... except now I'm getting different output [05:06] stignatius, how strange...maybe some installs were bad, or some got mad @ their laptops xD [05:07] "Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table...." and I'm at a new command prompt (presumably fdisk's) [05:07] stignatius, depends on hardware === crow is now known as Guest35688 [05:07] AK|lt: Like I said, that error is expected, as you don't currently have a partition table. [05:07] how do you re-detect hadware? [05:08] AK|lt: type "c" then hit return, then type "u" and hit return. [05:08] maukarus, which r the basic pkgs that I should look for? [05:08] Jordan_U: "DOS Compatibility flag is not set" and "Changing display/entry units to sectors" respectively, for outputs [05:09] AK|lt: Good, now "n". [05:09] when my thinkpad t23 is unplugged, it causes the kernel to panic. any ideas? [05:09] stignatius, i'm not sure what part of ubuntu specifically controls network hardware..but a normal install does all this on it's own [05:09] AK|lt: And accept the default start and end positions, which should use the entire drive. [05:09] maukarus... I lost you for a second [05:10] otherwise, you will need to install specific drivers..and supported things will install with it.. [05:10] I think I have the router's IP [05:10] DasEi: joadri is back [05:10] Jordan_U: n gives me "Command action: e extended, p primary partition (1-4)" [05:10] maukarus, thanks, I need some support in this matter [05:10] is anyone available to help me with a gaming issue? [05:10] joadri..why do u think that? [05:11] And I'm not back at fdisk's prompt... I think n is waiting for further input [05:11] Because I did a traceroute and I can see it [05:11] free space is like this http://itspriyank.com/Capture.PNG [05:11] joadri, is it all o.o.o.o?? [05:11] no === brandon__ is now known as IvanBliminse [05:12] AK|lt: p [05:12] It's almost the same as the IP address for the PC, but 1.1 at the end [05:12] if I want a cron job to run every monday, I specify * for the day of month, and 1 for the day of week, correct? [05:12] joadri, should be 127.0.0.1 as host and 198.x.x.1 or other number [05:12] In the 198 [05:12] any help ? [05:12] joadri, k thats fine [05:12] I have a quick question about repositories... i want to install docky.. and every website I read says I need to include the repository, but when I go to the software center.. it lets me download and install it.. why do the sites say to include that repository? [05:12] Jordan_U: Then it wants a partition number... 1? [05:13] AK|lt: Yes. [05:13] joadri, is the device detected and able to browse? [05:13] Jordan_U: Okay, I accepted its defaults, now I'm back at fdisk's prompt [05:13] I am able to get to any website but fb [05:13] syrinx_: still around? [05:13] AK|lt: "w" to write the changes to disk. [05:13] wow [05:14] I've been looking for a rule that prevent me from connecting but I can not find anything [05:14] hmm verizon.. [05:14] so you do have a firewall? [05:14] It's the router, I'm possitive, but I don't know how to address it [05:14] IvanBliminse: A lot of guides are either a.)outdated or b.)just say it in case it isn't there already. [05:14] I don't think so [05:14] 198.0.0.1 [05:15] Jordan_U: lolwut? "WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 0: Success." Then it says the kernel will use the old table until I reboot or run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8) [05:15] in the browser itself [05:15] verizon may not have this feature [05:15] Starminn: I did check my software sources and the repositories they tell me to include are not there.. am I missing out on updates? [05:15] IvanBliminse: It's basically the equivalent of people in here, there's the GUI way and the Terminal way. Both will work, but the GUI paths can change depnding on customization, but CLI is fool-proof. [05:15] I look in the browser and I don't see anything like a rule or fw [05:15] Joe___: yea im here [05:15] lol [05:15] IvanBliminse: The repos may have been merged together into newer ones? [05:16] How do i update my video card drivers without having my old drivers clash? [05:16] AK|lt: Try running "sudo partprobe". [05:16] Unable to connect with chrome neither... [05:16] i'd ask you to reset the router but verizon is weird.. it may be a big headache i have no idea [05:16] real quick, how do you respond to me like that? [05:16] Jordan_U: No output [05:16] I don't know.. the guides i'm reading are for ubuntu 10.04.... the only repositories i have are the 2 regular ones.. i've never added any [05:16] AK|lt: Good, do you now have a /dev/sdb1 ? [05:16] IvanBliminse: But you said it installed fine, correct? [05:16] in the end, if all computers are effected..a range of ip's is being blcoked [05:16] I read something about device manager in ubuntu, but I don't know [05:17] Jordan_U: ls says so, yes [05:17] I guess if I'm able to get to the router I can check [05:17] Sarminn, yes i'm just worried that i'll miss out on an update or what not. That and i was curious why every site says to do it ... i figured there must be a reason [05:17] Joe___: type the name of the person your speaking too first [05:17] joadri: call https://vtunnel.comor similar, connect to FB [05:17] Bunt no idea how to get to the rourter [05:17] or* [05:17] highlights it for you to see [05:17] right, and that would verify that all is ok @home [05:17] syrinx_: like this? [05:18] verizon would be happy to walk you thru it if they had people there to do so.. [05:18] xD [05:18] Joe___, yep much easier, then you know who your taking to and who your not, haha [05:18] DasEi.... call you mean try to connect to the website? [05:18] let me try my cell phone [05:18] IvanBliminse: *shrug* [05:18] Verizon will have me waiting forever [05:18] syrinx_: thanks for the tip [05:18] lol okay thanks [05:18] joadri: yes, launch in browser (https proxy) [05:19] syrinx_: anyway, we were discussing initial installation of DE 10.10 [05:19] AK|lt: Good. You can now use "sudo mkfs.foo /dev/sda1" to create a filesystem in your new partition. Replace "foo" with the filesystem type, like mkfs.ext4. [05:19] Jordan_U: K [05:20] what state are you in xD [05:20] Joe___ right so, what exactly is happening? [05:20] AK|lt: and if it was sdb, stick with it ;-) [05:20] Jordan_U: I think it was successful. [05:20] i got a samsung n150 from verizon xD [05:20] AK|lt: Great. You're done. [05:21] Jordan_U: Thanks a ton :D Maybe I should try getting acquainted with fdisk sometime... and maybe I should just stick to Ubuntu's Startup Disk Creator for creating live USBs for Ubuntu >_> [05:21] DasEi, same issue with wine1.3. [05:22] Tryed https://vtunnel.comor and I don't get nowhere... Server not found [05:22] 没有吱声到 [05:22] syrinx_: during the initial installation, it freezes and doesn't complete unless i restart my PC a few times. Once I finally get the installation completed, the OS freezes after a few minutes of use [05:22] Alright. Now I can get started on my OTHER problem: Total GRUB failure on my desktop. [05:22] wow, pls dont try random things? [05:23] what maukarus? [05:23] Joe___, brief specs or model of computer? [05:23] hi please anybody, please ? === debarshi is now known as Guest41226 [05:24] joadri, do you know that site is what verizon intends its customers to use? [05:24] To use for? [05:24] !please | Gibss37 [05:24] Gibss37: Avoid following your questions with a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !attitude [05:24] router maintainance xD [05:25] or logging into the router.. [05:25] !details | AK|lt [05:25] AK|lt: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [05:25] syrinx_: 8400GS graphics card, Intel Dual 3.0 processor, 4GB's of ram, 2.5 TB's of HDD space [05:25] anyway.. there may be a way around this [05:25] No idea... How do I fing out? Calling them? [05:25] Gibss37: Ask your question again, fresh, all on one line so everybody can fall, and see who answers you so everybody can read it nice and plainly what you need. [05:25] what is the least *safe* amount of RAM needed to run Ubuntu 10.10? [05:25] everybody can follow* [05:25] Joe____: and how about the cd/dvd drive [05:26] It should be the freaking router with ubuntu, because it does not happen with win7 [05:26] Jordan_U: Alright... I installed Windows alongside Ubuntu 10.10 earlier today, which I've done before, and went to reinstall GRUB as I've done before... but now, when I boot from my hard drive, nothing happens. I don't think GRUB is even running. I've tried two fixes on the Ubuntu wiki and gotten no results [05:26] a BD-ROM and DVD-ROM [05:26] My entire family use fb and I dont want to shut down ubuntu because of this. No way [05:26] PatrickC-school: It depends on your definition of "running Ubuntu 10.10". You could probably do a minimal install with less than 100 meg, but I doubt you'd want that. What are you looking to do with the machine? [05:27] calling them would be needed if you want his fixed sooner..or use windows.. it's not the router... [05:27] while new installation of UBUNTU 10.10 i am getting an error that "No root file system is defined..........", i have allocated a fresh spcae like this http://itspriyank.com/Capture.PNG, which is extended one from drive E: [05:27] it's gotta be something in ubuntu [05:27] AK|lt: Do you have more than one hard drive? [05:27] just need it to create a thing for my phone [05:27] and I'm installing in VBox [05:27] Jordan_U: No, just one [05:27] Ubuntu plus home, because I can get to fb from work [05:27] Gibss37: When you go to install it you have to mount whatever your want your main partition to be as "/" (a.k.a. "root") [05:27] i just wanted to see, if it detected anything network..means the package is fine, but may not have new drivers, or any [05:28] Gibss37: Exit the manual partitioning menu and just choose automatic partitioning using the free space. [05:28] Jordan_U: The reason I noticed my flash drive problem was because I want to make a live environment on it because booting from CD takes a while [05:28] I need to create a custom "doctor" for my Palm Pre and I need a linux environment for it [05:28] okay i boot with live CD and try this [05:28] can some1 help me with this : http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1011111 [05:28] joadri, were you able to access the router? [05:28] Ubuntu is able to connect at work, not at home. Ubuntu has something that click with the router to prevent the conection [05:29] when I trace to yahoo I go pass the router [05:29] hello. I am have some problems with a dualboot xp/ubuntu10.10. and getting the grub2 loader to work. I was wondering if I could get a hand. [05:29] joadri... for the wifi...on top of that some protocol or specific ip, your pc doesnt get when u get home [05:29] exit [05:29] NJSchultz07: ASK YOUR QUESTION [05:30] this is extreamly strange actually [05:30] !caps | dadis [05:30] dadis: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [05:30] gotta be a bug [05:30] Yes maukarus... it is something with ubuntu at home, but it has to be the router, because the desktop do not connect to fb neither using ubuntu, and yes using win7 [05:30] what is the *smallest* amount of RAM I can use for Ubuntu 10.10 installed in a VBox? [05:31] grub2 is not loading on boot up. I have tried what the ubuntu site says and it still boots straight to xp. do you have any ideas? [05:31] AK|lt: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [05:31] NJSchultz07: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2 [05:31] hmm ok i though win was able to.. [05:31] NJSchultz07: Do you have more than one hard drive? [05:31] NJSchultz07: read the Installation section [05:31] yes i do, two hard drives. both have two partitions. [05:32] how long has it been like this joadri? [05:32] did my question get lost? just wonderin? [05:32] NJSchultz07: Try changing the boot order, GRUB isn't installed to the drive you're bootin from. [05:32] Yes. I can do it with win7 but I don't want to leave ubuntu [05:32] Jordan_U: It says I have to run the script from my hard drive, but I can't boot into the system... [05:32] Like five days [05:32] AK|lt: You can run it from a LiveCD/USB. [05:32] Jordan_U: Okay, it will be a few minutes [05:33] in my bios settings it only give two options for boot order. HD1, which has xp and files, and cd drive. [05:33] I tried resetting the router, power cicling it... nada [05:33] well, is there a battery? [05:33] NJSchultz07: Then you'll need to install GRUB to the mbr of the XP drive. [05:33] ... [05:33] on the router? no that I know [05:34] i shoul have to open it :) [05:34] NJSchultz07: In fact, you'll probably need to put /boot on the XP drive if the drive with Ubuntu can't be read by your BIOS. [05:34] o.0 [05:34] noo [05:34] so would i follow usual instructions but rather than using the ubuntu /dev/sda5 drive, use the one listed for windows? [05:34] ... [05:34] if there are any batteries it will have an obvious door [05:35] NJSchultz07: No. [05:35] What ever it is, is on ubuntu related to the router and that IP for facebook [05:35] can anyone help with zoneminder.....been trying for a month now to get it running....when i start it to set up a monitor i can't click on the sources tab nothing happens or does anyone have any other ideas for software for cctv in linux other than zoneminder and motion? [05:35] NJSchultz07: Do you know why your BIOS is only listing one drive? [05:35] Let me look at the router... [05:35] ... [05:35] joadri, yea and on the fios side of things [05:35] Anyone, as feared, my laptop fans are starting to fail after running full speed since I installed 10.10. Is there a resolution to this bug? [05:36] joadri, you should have better support 0.o [05:36] not for sure. but i think because its an older computer, and the HD2 is a sata drive hooked up through a sata PCI card. [05:36] no door [05:36] ... [05:37] hehe..what kinda router is this thing? [05:37] NJSchultz07: You're going to need to upgrade the BIOS or install Ubuntu with /boot/ on the IDE drive. [05:37] Where should I go to ask a for help with a problem that is not related to any specific operating system, and I'm not sure if it's hardware or software? [05:37] Let me see if I can see any model number that I can tell [05:38] ...

I'll let you know shortly, in the meantime, i appreciate the help. [05:40] Well... I can try them tomarrow.

After doing so the xp partition still worked fine (to my knowledge). I downloaded the 32bit version of 10.04 and burnt it, placed it in my cd drive and restarted my comp. I loaded up the boot menu and told it to boot from CD. It took me to the language selection menu and the menu that asks me if I want to try Ubuntu, Install, Check disc, etc. After [05:42] that the splash screen that has the dots that cycle under the logo came up and then my monitor died. The cd light and hard drive light stayed on for a while after that (1 1/2 minutes?). After rebooting my computer when everything stopped XP does the same thing past the xp splash screen. Can't get it to go past either of them. [05:42] use the ip windows uses... [05:42] dhcp... [05:42] I started thinking of a conspiratin theory against ubuntu, but when I connected from work it was proved wrong [05:42] I need help getting my HDMI sound to come out over my HDMI? Anyone have any luck with this? [05:42] joadri, dhcp may have broken? [05:43] koodough there is no such command [05:43] I have a folder with many many small files which are read quite alot and written to a fair bit.. I want to somehow put this folder in ram for preformance.. Anyone know of a ramfs tool that will auto sync the ram contents to disk every x hours?

I comes back with "no reply" [05:49] finding the url and long load times hints.. denial of service attacks [05:49] ok, is smbclient samba client? [05:49] D_Ookami, perhaps there's a meta package that pulls all of the necessary dependencies to convert your ubuntu installation [05:49] ruan: yes [05:49] rww: is it safe to remove it? [05:49] I've updated ubuntu in my laptop to 10.04 wich is what I have in the desktop [05:49] dos can sometime be broadcast and not specific =c [05:49] ruan: yes, if you don't mind that the ubuntu-desktop metapackage will be too [05:49] !ubuntu-desktop [05:49] k/ed/x/l/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [05:50] but it is still weird.. [05:50] D_Ookami: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu [05:50] ah thanks [05:50] are you into consipracy therios? [05:50] has anyone noticed wifi issues in 10.10? I've got two installs on two different systems with two different editions, and none of it is working well :( [05:51] Like what ? I know there is a market $$$ and ubuntu is taking people away from windows. [05:51] DasEi, Somebody solved it on winehq. Thanks for your patience to bro (or sis). [05:51] aarc yea actually [05:51] koodough: this page has "Installing Packages" and "Configuration Modifications" and i did both but nothing happened [05:51] But I don't think it is the case, but I don't doubt anything when money is involved [05:51] joadri.. that is false..people will still use windows..but yes i love ubuntu xd [05:52] can anyone help with gaming issues? [05:52] karla: i'm new to linux ,, i can copy paste codes to terminal but that's about it lol ,, i wanna try ubuntu studio .. help ,, gulp .. ^^ [05:52] D_Ookami: where you not root?

[05:52] If that was the case i wouldn't use windows [05:53] D_Ookami: if you had sudo then you were running as root, which is good for installing packages [05:53] D_Ookami, try 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-studio' [05:53] like a package which contains the packges to be installed ? === phil_ is now known as prrp [05:53] kaushal, you mean aome kind [05:53] joadri, i was hopeing to find fan controls for ubbuntu xc [05:53] aome ?

[06:04] DasEi, my bad lspci wasn't affected (shows my card) [06:04] strange how pulse was buggered though [06:04] I tried freexite.com and did not worked. I'll try another one... [06:05] Does ubuntu have to use pulseaudio? How can i get ubuntu to lemme play with the acual sound cards settings? [06:05] yeah computer is way faster w/o pulse [06:05] how do you use a flashdrive if it's not coming up? [06:06] Anom01y, do you still get sound? [06:06] AK|lt: GRUB doesn't use the boot flag. Unless you have a very buggy BIOS it shouldn't matter. [06:06] Prinler, its working now [06:06] really? [06:06] just apt-removed pulse [06:06] Jordan_U: Okay, just thought it might be worth pointing out [06:06] ok [06:06] why not [06:06] joadri, try justunblockme.com its the one at the bottom [06:07] looks like i gotta reboot [06:07] how do i use a flashdrive if it's not popping up into my documents or anything of the like [06:07] Whats the point of pulseaudio [06:07] Prinler: to make life more difficult and confusing [06:08] i guess sooo!! LOL [06:08] jenan: when you plug it in, go to Places->Computer [06:08] well that was fabulously pointless [06:08] im trying to trouble shoot my spdif settings and it keeps showing some stupid gay generic volume bar [06:08] if i try to remove libsmbclient, it says that mysql*/*qt4*/libboost* are no longer required, why? [06:08] Prinler: did you run alsamixer in a terminal? [06:09] yes [06:09] it shows stuffs [06:09] my sites-enabled folder has nothing in it. i believe this is the folder where i place my virtual hosts. what should this file be called? [06:09] Prinler: Please don't use "gay" as a derogitory term. [06:09] Prinler: anything muted? do you have more than one sound card? [06:09] its happy :(? [06:09] sorry [06:09] i have onboard and i should see soemthing about my hdmi video card [06:10] it has a cable that hooks up from my vid card to my mobo [06:10] hmmm waiting for sound system to respond [06:10] http://twitter.com/facebook/status/25239034017 lol [06:10] if i try to remove libsmbclient, it says that mysql*/*qt4*/libboost* are no longer required, why? [06:10] Prinler: then there is no sound device other than the pass-through on your vid card. You need to make sure that in alsamixer doesn't show up beneath spdif channel [06:11] it doesnt [06:11] 00 [06:11] ok i just booted up again, its showing a popup saying 'Waiting for sound system to repond' [06:11] I'm trying to use my flash-drive but It's not showing up anywhere, any ideas? [06:12] AK|lt: Can you try following this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide but install grub to the mbr of the flash drive? [06:12] any1 from NYC [06:12] jenan: does it show up in Places->Computer?

[06:18] AK|lt: As long as it's Ubuntu 10.04 or newer run "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX" where sdX is your flash drive. [06:18] yeah, now i have no sound. I can do a lspci it shows my nvidia HD sound device [06:18] try removing pulseaudio [06:18] Prinler: have you considered trying the alsa backports? [06:18] then install alsamixergui [06:18] alasmixer shows a nvidia realtek alc662 [06:19] Anom01y, i did [06:19] lemme run it [06:19] sudo alsa force-reload [06:19] hello user permissions in apache have nothing to do with .htaccess from accessing outside correct?

[06:20] Jordan_U: no new driver for by bios, I guess i'll have to move the boot folder into the IDE. any advice on doing this? [06:20] firtvid20: which version of ubuntu, and which video drivers are you using? [06:20] Anom01y, it looks like its working.. lemme see about trying my steps to get it threw hdmi [06:21] No. It wanted me to identify pics to make sure it was me. I did not do well enough and I need to come back in one hour :) [06:21] ruan: 10.10 and running the latest proprietary FGLRX driver for my ATI card [06:21] Err, I need help with something.

[06:22] I got there too, but it did not let me in that way after logging on [06:22] firtvid20: java JRE also installed? [06:23] joadri, well atleast facebook has security xD [06:23] ruan: Yeah, I checked that 3 times [06:23] Err, anyways, I want to install ubuntu, but apparently my partitions are overlapping. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1697051) How should I proceed to keep everything chipper as normal, with my Windows XP, etc. You know, the usual Dual Boot stuff. [06:23] i'm sorry i couldn't completely resolve this for you [06:23] ZeroZiat: how many partitions does your XP take up? [06:24] yes... not good for me now [06:24] Ok. I will give verizon a call tomarrow, maukarus [06:24] Thanks a lot for trying [06:24] "My HDD is partitioned like this: [06:24] 2 partitions for windows (one holds windows, stuff and some minimal file storage, the other one is pure file storage) and the rest would be for Ubuntu." [06:24] Do you want me to let you know if verizon was able to solve it? [06:24] kk, it seems many have had similar issue isp aside..and not specifically verizon..in the past [06:25] ZeroZiat: and how much free space do you have to work with? [06:25] gaelfx: About 12 gigs, the full story is in that post really, but I don't want to force you to read it. [06:25] no go on the sound thrw hdmi [06:25] trying all the settings in xbmc [06:25] yes if you can..xD create a form thread if you'd like [06:26] ZeroZiat: and how much physical ram? [06:26] don't know what is it... I meant to send you an email with the info [06:26] gaelfx: I got about 2 gigs. [06:26] ubuntu forums? [06:26] This whole issue is most related with partition tables and HDD stuff. [06:26] !forum [06:26] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC freenode #ubuntuforums. [06:26] xD [06:27] I created an account and could not find a way to post a new issue so I can ask for help [06:27] ZeroZiat: ok, one more question, and then I should be able to help you actually. Is the free space unallocated, or is it part of one of the partitions, or is it free space in both partitions put together? [06:28] Then I tried to reply to an email I got from them and then the system said I need to post at least 75 times in the forum to be able to contact them that way [06:28] Jordan_U: I followed all the steps and it appears to be working again... I got the GRUB menu. Again, thank you very much [06:28] It has been a nightmare [06:29] joadri, o.0 omffg [06:29] AK|lt: You're welcome. Does it only work when you have the Flash drive plugged in though? [06:29] I will call verizon tomarrow. I know they don't know much about ubuntu... What ís that? [06:29] Jordan_U: I dunno... let me reboot without the drive in [06:29] the leeter "o" dot zero space omffg? [06:29] gaelfx: In the 'free space' resides an older version of Ubuntu, which I can't really access, cause dumb me, I installed ubuntu first, and then windows. Windows overwrote the MBR, etc... I intend to wipe both partitions and install Ubuntu 10.10. [06:30] joadri, xD don't worry === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [06:30] remember... I am not like you guys :) [06:30] Does this look like the right syntax? sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r) [06:30] ZeroZiat: well, there is a way to fix that from the livecd you know. you can just reinstall grub [06:30] Jordan_U: Nope, it's fine [06:30] I'm a windows guys moving to ubuntu :) [06:30] all i get is a > [06:30] yay [06:30] it's 2 am herre -.- === Guest78397 is now known as ar71k [06:30] *yay [06:31] z-.z [06:31] ZeroZiat: but if it won't be missed, then you might as well redo it with partitions done properly [06:31] ok. I'll let you go. Thanks again :) [06:31] good luck man i hope verizon supports ubuntu [06:31] Oh boy :) [06:31] I have Ubuntu Server 10.10 running headless with CLI only. I want to VNC into the machine and use GNOME with it, but only have a minimal install of GNOME that DOESN'T start up with the machine (envoked by VNC only with gnome-sessions &), how would i do that? [06:32] gaelfx: The problem is that I don't know how I could install grub if my partitions overlap (if you've read my logs in that thread) [06:32] i will continue working with ubuntu and verizon and see [06:32] ZeroZiat: sorry, I'll try to look at the logs [06:32] Hi, has anyone been facing this issue of applications hanging on lucid lynx with 2.6.32-28 kernel. [06:34] hi to all [06:35] how to copy file from host to virtual box OS ? [06:35] Again: I have Ubuntu Server 10.10 running headless with CLI only. I want to VNC into the machine and use GNOME with it, but only have a minimal install of GNOME that DOESN'T start up with the machine (envoked by VNC only with gnome-sessions &), how would i do that? [06:35] amit, #vbox for virtual box discussion. You need to have guest additions installed [06:36] ok thanx @ arvind [06:37] when I do 'sudo update-grub' It finds my Windows XP and my CentOS installion but only the XP gets added to grub, centos does not. How can I fix this? [06:37] Prinler, try sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-`uname -r` [06:37] ZeroZiat: ok, it looks like you need to fix this via windows, cause as far as I can tell, the overlapping partitions are windows partitions. have you tried any windows partition editing programs? also, which version of windows? [06:38] ok [06:38] gaelfx: I got Windows XP SP3, I've really no idea what I would do with the partition tools yet, I wasn't aware they were 'overlapping' until gparted told me. [06:38] ZeroZiat: What partitions are you planning to delete? It looks like deleting sda3 would solve the overlap (though I'd have to double check that to be sure). [06:39] ZeroZiat: just so you know, I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the MBR being over-written (could be wrong, but that shouldn't affect what you're trying to do) [06:40] Prinler, any luck? [06:40] Jordan_U: I dunno if you catched my conversation with gaelfx from the beggining, I have a spare partition with an older Ubuntu (i think it's 6.06) which I am planning to delete, and install Ubuntu 10.10. [06:40] yes! [06:40] ty [06:40] you're welcome [06:40] ZeroZiat: also, is there anything on those windowws partitions that you really need to keep, or could you possibly reinstall windows? [06:40] gaelfx: Oh, ok, cause I thought it did considering gparted can't see anything, it only lists my drive as empty and the text parted tool actually says something useful, (the drives are overlappin) [06:41] gaelfx: Yeah, I was planning to leave their integrity pretty much intact, making this operation harder. :s [06:41] ZeroZiat: no, I think that's more a bug with gparted, but it's kinda irrelevant since that won't get fixed right now [06:42] Ok im installing new liniux-alsa-drivers-moduals [06:42] ZeroZiat: I'm not sure how to use the text version of parted to delete a partition, but I think if you do use it to delete that linux partition, you should be able to use gparted to fix it afterwards [06:42] gaelfx: You sure? :D [06:42] ZeroZiat: It looks like what you have is two primary NTFS (windows) partitions, sda1 and sda3, and an extended partition, sda2, containing a logical swap partition, sda5. sda2 and sda5 are probably left over from the Ubuntu install and removing them should get rid of any overlap. [06:43] Hello folks. Anyone able to help me setup empathy so I can use it as my IRC client instead of needing to use the web client, or a link for such information? [06:43] ZeroZiat: no, but it seems like it is the problem, since it's written in a really strange place "on top" of your windows stuff [06:43] @#%@#$ still doesnt show my HDMI === Inumedia_ is now known as Inumedia [06:44] ouch! [06:44] ZeroZiat: also, you would have to resize one of the windows partitions to get space for the ubuntu [06:44] ZeroZiat: have you considered making a persistent liveusb? [06:44] gaelfx: You sure? the ubuntu partition which I'd delete would make enough space for ubuntu. [06:45] ZeroZiat: First, right now before anything else, tell me what the output of "cat /proc/swaps" is. [06:45] gaelfx: Also I tried doing that with my cellphone's memory card, it went well and all but my cellphone wouldn't come to terms with it and would start making default folders everywhere, so I cancelled that project. [06:45] Jordan_U, I'm not on ubuntu at the moment, I'm on my windows partition. [06:46] Metaxa: i've never used empathy for IRC (prefer XChat), but maybe try Edit > Accounts > Add > Protocol = IRC > Apply [06:46] ZeroZiat: The Ubuntu partition is using the same space as one of the windows partitions, hence "overlapping". [06:46] And I can't access that one installed ubuntu partition cause windows overwrote the mbr, i could try with my gparted live cd, tho. [06:46] ZeroZiat: the ubuntu partition exists in a place where another partition already exists, so there is no space for it, that's what's causing the problem in the first place [06:47] hmm, i see. [06:48] so to clear up: My two partitions of windows, one is being held by a swap to a logical partition, are not overlapping. My ubuntu partition though, is overlapping some partition or somesuch..., right? [06:48] ZeroZiat: http://pastebin.com/H0eSyqTK look at the numbers, the linux partition starts about the same place as the second windows partition [06:48] Metaxa: yep, just tried it out. typing from empathy right now. after setting up the account, go to Room > Join and put #ubuntu [06:49] ZeroZiat: correct. i think you can use parted to remove the offending partition, I'm just checking the syntax about how to do that for you [06:49] bc81: I did that, went to join the room #ubuntu, then nothing happens. [06:49] Prinler, i had to compile my own sound driver on an older machine once. could that be part of the problem? [06:49] ZeroZiat: Right now the only "linux" partition you have is a swap partition, sda5, which is contained within an extended partition, sda2. [06:49] not sure [06:49] all i know is i show no hdmi devices in aplay [06:49] Metaxa: not sure then, are you registered w/ NickServ? [06:49] so im kinda stuck in limbo [06:50] Jordan_U: But didn't my ubuntu 6.06 made another small partition as a swap partition, as it usually does? Where's that one? o.o [06:50] ZeroZiat: try parted rm sda5 in a terminal [06:50] oh dumb me i just saw it [06:50] bc81: No. very new to IRC === mike is now known as Ar71k [06:50] Metaxa: ok, in Edit > Accounts > be sure it's enabled [06:50] I need some help identifying what /dev/ is my audio device [06:51] Metaxa: and you set a nick and password, also? [06:51] my swap is 540 kb, how can i reduce it to 0 kb? [06:51] ruan: Why? [06:51] Ar71k: sudo lshw -C sound may tell you [06:52] every link i read is a dead end most are unfinished from 3 years ago... kinda frusterating [06:52] ZeroZiat: and then pastebin the output of parted -list [06:52] bc81: It shows me as being connected to freenode [06:52] ruan, delete the swap partition [06:52] Ruan: 540kb used, or in size? [06:52] hmm i wonder if i even have a swap partition [06:53] if you didn't it would be 0kb [06:53] Metaxa: i don't know what could be the problen, try restarting empathy i suppose === ZerzekZiat is now known as ZeroZiat [06:53] hmm it said the name of the device but not the location in the /dev/* directory [06:53] Ruan: sudo parted -l will show you [06:53] my bad, my internet disconnected [06:53] bc81: I wonder if I can only be connected to one chat service at a time [06:54] Metaxa: well possibly, try another nick like Metaxa_ [06:54] ok how do i remove the swap partition? [06:54] ZeroZiat: not a problem, did you try that command I sent you? [06:54] ruan, using fdisk [06:54] gaelfx: I'm just gathering data right now, I'm on the same computer that has windows and ubuntu on it, so I'll have to try that later. [06:54] no idea [06:54] ruan, first what's the output of swapon -s ? [06:55] ZeroZiat: oh, ok [06:55] Or in a second, but yeah [06:55] /dev/sdb5 partition3303420532 [06:55] Ruan: swapoff /dev/partition then remove its entry in fstab [06:56] bc81: That seems to have work [06:56] how to install ubuntu?? [06:56] gaelfx: My second problem tho, is that my wireless network adapter card doesn't work with ubuntu and I have to do that whole ndiswrapper crap I had to do like 4 years ago [06:56] ok so will it run completely off physical RAM if i remove swap? [06:56] !install [06:56] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

I think it was being connected thru here that casued the problem [06:57] ruan: how much RAM do you have [06:57] ZeroZiat: well, if you can connect with an ethernet cable, you could try installing backports compat wireless package in Synaptic [06:57] bc81: 3 gb [06:57] Metaxa: welcome :) [06:57] ruan: i would leave the swap alone if i were you [06:57] Jordan_U: It's a Belkin 54mbs desktop adapter [06:57] mbps* [06:57] ubottu want to install ubuntu 10.10 [06:57] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:57] it uses a broadcom driver, so that spells only trouble [06:57] bc81: currently, less than 1mb of swap is being used [06:58] ZeroZiat: USB? [06:58] I managed to load it during the live cd tryout but it still wouldn't do much so I had to leave [06:58] to windows [06:58] ZeroZiat: actually broadcom cards have been pretty usable lately [06:58] gaelfx: not so much 4 years ago [06:58] that was hell === lance_ is now known as wake83 [06:58] gaelfx: Broadcom + USB though is still painfull. [06:58] but yeah, i came back for that one reason, to see how they carried on with that problem and such [06:59] ZeroZiat: if you can connect in ethernet, maybe you can download the proprietary drivers? [06:59] gaelfx, I can't, my router is too far away and I got no cat5 cable that long. [06:59] Jordan_U: well isn't that just dandy? plug'n'play my left foot [06:59] ZeroZiat: Is it a USB adaptor? [06:59] ZeroZiat: you couldn't move the computer closer to it? [07:00] Nope, it goes in the PCI slot in the motherboard [07:00] gaelfx, naaah, i'm too lazy [07:00] and that'd be hell [07:00] ruan: i mean, unless you need to reclaim the couple GiB it's best to leave it there [07:00] positioning it on the dining room, etc [07:00] ZeroZiat: If it goes in the PCI slot then you should be able to use it without NDISwrapper. [07:00] !broadcom | ZeroZiat See specifically the instructions for installing without internet access [07:00] ZeroZiat See specifically the instructions for installing without internet access: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [07:00] updates Alsa and still no gravey [07:00] Jordan_U: But I got it to work with ndiswrapper 4 years ago! Well my world was just blown. [07:00] ruan: you ever play games, or multitask, render 3d, use virtual machines etc? [07:01] ZeroZiat: NDSISwrapper has never been an optimal solution. [07:01] Jordan_U: Mine's a bcmwl5 [07:01] jordan_u: it's what the helpfiles in ubuntu recommend firsthand tho [07:01] ZeroZiat: Because it's all there was :) Now there are native drivers. [07:02] ruan: hibernate your computer will use swap among other things. see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [07:03] ZeroZiat: bcmwl5 is a windows driver for a series of BCM43XX cards. [07:03] jordan_u in the live cd they recommended exactly the same except this time it was ndisgtk, and my wireless card doesn't ran by default in ubuntu, so after installing bcmwl5.inf in ndisgtk, i checked if it was on but it doesn't turn on in ubuntu and I don't remember how I made it light up 4 years ago [07:03] Can someone help me diagnose a problem with gnome-terminal, and now install-info? When I open gnome-terminal, it shows as a tab in the system tray and says starting, flashes on the screen, then immediately closes. When I try to run update manager, I get an error saying dpkg: error processing install-info (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139. I have been using konsole in the me [07:03] while trying to get gnome-terminal to work, however I am also now being immediately disconnected when I try to ssh into the box from another pc on the network. Not sure if this is all related or not. I'm using 10.04. [07:03] oh, thanks [07:03] wake83: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[07:04] ZeroZiat: Who / what recommended the same? What is the exact chipset of your wireless card? (run "lspci -vnn | grep 14e4" to find out). [07:04] bc81: i dont use hibernate, and all games i play dont use more than 1gb of ram [07:05] jordan_u I'll have to throw that one to the 'big pile of stuff to try when i boot into ubuntu', i guess [07:05] Can someone help me diagnose a problem with gnome-terminal, and now install-info? When I open gnome-terminal, it shows as a tab in the system tray and says starting, flashes on the screen, then immediately closes.

Using 10.04 [07:05] ZeroZiat: Did you try simply going to System > Adminstration > Additional Drivers? [07:06] jordan_u: Anyway to find out in windows? [07:06] jordan_u: nope, when it wouldn't detect the card I just went to help file which redirected me to ndisgtk, heh. [07:07] anyone know how to find out which /dev/* is your audio device? [07:07] whats this mean ? iec958:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 [07:07] HDA NVidia, ALC662 rev1 Digital [07:07] IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output [07:08] Sorry, got disconnected. [07:09] !mount [07:09] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [07:09] alright, so the doctor's prescription is: remove the old ubuntu partition with 'parted rm sda5' [07:09] wake83: you might try alt+f2 killall gnome-terminal (maybe it froze up?) [07:09] ZeroZiat: Again, this will probably get you going with native drivers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#ST%20%20-%20No%20Internet%20access [07:10] ZeroZiat: My guess is that you'll have to use fdisk to remove both sda5 and sda2. [07:10] hi, which config file saves the default application to launch for a particular file type? [07:10] err, i'll have to take note and put it into my usb to read while in ubuntu [07:11] bc81: thanks for the response. I tried that, however it doesn't appear to have done anything. I have rebooted within the last 5 minutes and on the first attempt at running terminal it produces the bad behavior of closing immediately. [07:11] jordan_u: Wait, what syntax to remove it with fdisk instead of parted? [07:11] tsudot: im not sure, but you can use the GUI(nautilus) to change default application to launch [07:12] Would upgrading my Nvidia graphics drivers help my HDMI sound issue you think? out of ideas!! [07:12] ruan, thanks, but I wanted to know if there is any config file for the same [07:13] ruan, I'm trying to change it problematically [07:13] *programitically [07:14] wake83: can you alt+f2 xterm [07:15] bc81: no it behaves the same way, I see the window try to open in the bottom taskbar, but then it disappears [07:15] gaelfx or Jordan_U : There's one thing which I don't get... where's my /dev/sda4/ [07:16] wake83: not sure, sorry. you know the virtual consoles? try to access one ctrl+alt+f2 & ctrl+alt+f8 to return [07:16] ZeroZiat: You don't have one. Logical partitins start at 5, even if you haven't used all 4 primary partitions. [07:16] Oh. [07:16] Jordan_U, neat. Okay. But I still don't know how to remove sda2 and sda5 with fdisk.

[07:39] Jordan_U, the screen goes blank and then it returns me to the GRUB menu. [07:41] Jordan_U, I had a Ubuntu / Vista dual boot before. I was using GRUB to switch between the two. Vista became unusable so I upgraded to 7, that didn't fix my Vista issues so I performed a clean installation of Windows 7. Then I decided I didn't want GRUB and downloaded EasyBCD. Then things went wrogn. [07:41] how i mount my drives from terminal [07:41] Jordan_U, I'd just like GRUB to show two menu entries. Windows 7 and Ubuntu. With both working.

I couldn't boot into anything. Somebody on here helped me manually fix things, and it took hours. GRUB is really messed up.

[07:57] Apologies. [07:59] hello...I want to install an older version of gdb (6.8 instead of 7.2) because apparently it doesnt work with Qt Creator... [07:59] but when i try to remove the newer version using Synaptics package manager, it says i have to also remove qt-sdk which i dont want to do ...is there any way to work around this [08:00] mage7: you could remove both and reinstall qt-sdk [08:02] thanks for reply ruan...ok Synaptics says that qt-sdk is 32 KB..so to reinstall will hopefully only take 32KB? because i am on dial-up and i dont want to download the entire Qt-sdk (several 100s of MBs) [08:04] mage7: i think that normaly when you got aptitutde remove ... it just uninstall but dont remove the package from local directory. [08:05] mage7: so next install, you should need to download if you use remove and not purge [08:05] mage7, qt-sdk is a meta-package... that's the reason why it's so small and it have to download much more packages [08:06] rumpe1: so removing or reinstalling it wont also remove/reinstall all the other packages? [08:06] mage7, removing will only remove the metapackage... the 32kB === 14WAAUIGD is now known as punknroll [08:07] mage7, the dependend packages will still be there unless you do a apt-get autoremove [08:08] ok thanks...so i will remove (but not purge) gdb along with qt-sdk and try to install the older version and then reinstall qt-sdk and see what happens [08:09] mage7, reinstalling qt-sdk will update the gdb-version to the version in the dependencies of qt-sdk [08:09] mage7, but you can try pinning the gdb-version [08:09] Hi, I'm sshing into a Freebsd box from a Macbook.

[08:16] SealedWithAKiss, Its possible I could help too. please describe whats wrong. [08:16] mage7, I installed Windows 7 over Windows Vista. The entry for Vista is still in GRUB, however it doesn't boot into Windows. [08:17] rumpe1....can you tell me how to pin the gdb-version [08:17] mage7, there should be some option in synaptic like "force version" or similar [08:19] rumpe1...ok thanks found it..trying [08:19] is there a reason why programs ran with superuser privileges don't apply a theme? [08:20] nelson09, I removed Vista and installed Windows 7. I then downloaded a tool called EasyBCD because I wanted to use the Windows boot loader instead of GRUB. Since rebooting I have been unable to boot into Windows, since I'm taken automatically to GRUB, and the only Windows entry is the old Vista one which no longer works. [08:20] eg. synaptic or gksudo gedit [08:21] SealedWithAKiss, you have to update grub [08:21] rumpe1, , "sudo update-grub" does nothing. [08:21] SealedWithAKiss, define "nothing" [08:21] rumpe1, it doesn't change the entries in the GRUB menu. [08:21] SealedWithAKiss, how about "sudo os-prober" [08:22] rumpe1, that produces /dev/sda1:Windows Vista (loader):Windows:chain [08:22] hello...guys will running grub-install help SealedWithAKiss [08:22] Windows 7 is on /dev/sda1 [08:23] The Vista entry points to HD 0 and partition 1 - where Windows is located, right? [08:24] that entry SEEMS correct, however partitions / HDD numbers can be different. Usually "sudo update-grub" will rescan for any other OS. === marc is now known as Guest25196 [08:25] Hum...If I type /msg NickServ REGISTER (my pswd) (email) I get an error for syntax. I am very new at this, I have done nothing else but used empathy to connect to this IRC channel. [08:25] nelson09, "sudo update-grub" doesn't help. [08:25] http://security.ubuntu.com/ i got 20kbyte/s from security.ubuntu.com... how come ? is there something big happening [08:25] In order to make absolutely sure it hasn't changed anything I'll take the system down for a reboot. [08:25] I saw that post earlier. Does indeed complicate things... Try the command "fdisk -l" this will list the partitions on the HDDs and how they are formated. [08:25] SealedWithAKiss, it nothing else works, create a /etc/grub.d-script for win7 manually [08:26] firs user [08:26] first time use ubuntu [08:26] good morning [08:26] morning [08:27] this chat is ok [08:27] here is possible to talk for ubuntu [08:27] jdk at 20k/s is harsh :) [08:27] good morning and welcome to ubuntu...We wish you a pleasant flight and hope you enjoy your complimentary peanuts [08:28] jetienne: No, just Canonical's gear failing. [08:28] I'm back, nothing has changed. [08:29] mmmh I I have ubuntu 10.10 [08:29] SealedWithAKiss: What is the message that is printed when you select Vista [08:29] for my nebook [08:29] nice, i've been using the same for some time now [08:29] SealedWithAKiss, I believe you logged off before I sent my last message. Try the command "fdisk -l". This will list the partitions on the drive and how they are formatted. by looking for NTFS, you should be able to verify sda1 / partition 1 etc. [08:29] mage7, the screen goes momentarily blank and then takes me back to the GRUB menu. Nothing is displayed. [08:29] but I don't know my kernel [08:30] nelson09, I have already verified that dev/sda1 is Windows. [08:30] uh, why did it just rejoin [08:30] michele type uname -a in terminal [08:31] need help for shortcut keyboard [08:31] that is odd.. do you have "ChainLoader +1" or similar in the grub file? [08:32] michele: You can also get the kernel version from the "System" tab of the System Monitor under System->Administration in the menu. [08:32] nelson09, yes. [08:32] ok check [08:32] :) [08:33] nelson09, I typed in GRUB at the command line and it told me it wasn't installed. I've done sudo apt-get instal grub and it's told me that there's no menu.lst so I hit Y to generate one. Now there isn't even a Vista entry. [08:33] alright. and sorry if im having you check things you already have. I hava a laptop that i installed 7 over vista dual boot linux. I'm checking to see what I have. [08:34] nelson09, http://pastebin.com/0LXurS2s [08:34] !shortcuts | michele [08:34] michele: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [08:34] nelson09, that's what just happened at the command line. [08:34] ubuntu 10.10 maverick [08:34] SealedWithAKiss: You should not have installed the "grub" package, that's grub legacy. run "sudo apt-get install grub-pc" before you reboot or you might not be able to boot at all. [08:35] tonyrusso. thanks [08:35] Jordan_U, life saver. Thanks. [08:35] SealedWithAKiss: You're welcome. [08:35] Jordan_U, is there anything else I should do? [08:36] Yep, just what I was going to say. Jordan_U is correct. make sure to install that BEFORE a reboot or have a boot disk handy. [08:36] Jordan_U, it is now generating grub.cfg with the Vista entry again. [08:36] SealedWithAKiss: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt? [08:36] nelson09, I have done so. [08:37] SealedWithAKiss: Also the output of "debconf show grub-pc".

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [08:38] hi guys [08:38] lot: what's the problem? [08:39] I want view the irssi's man [08:39] !irssi [08:39] Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. See also !screen [08:39] !irssi [08:39] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/VZWXvxJi - RESULTS.txt [08:40] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/KrcM9BfW - output from debconf show grub-pc [08:40] i have install ubuntu which i had downloaded from ubuntu live site but i am facing volume issue [08:40] i tried with drivers but no luck [08:41] i am using acer loptop [08:41] please help me [08:41] i will be thankfull [08:41] Jordan_U, I have a feeling that I'm about to receive bad news. [08:41] SealedWithAKiss: Sorry "debconf-show grub-pc". [08:41] shane2` [08:42] yes [08:42] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/XQKeCtdd [08:42] shane2: explain issue [08:42] i cannot hear any voice like songs etc [08:43] i think driver issue [08:43] testing [08:43] cool [08:44] debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied <--what was this about? [08:44] any difference in live site ubtuntu setp and dvd or cd [08:44] Jordan_U, I wouldn't be too bothered normally, but I need to get into Windows to complete a programming assignment for university. It's due in later today. I have to use Visual Studio 2010. [08:44] SealedWithAKiss: is it possible to run VS2010 with wine? [08:44] shane2, sometimes Ubuntu mutes all sound output by default, for some reason. [08:45] ruan_, no I'm talking about Windows 7. [08:45] shane2, click the volume notify icon, top right of the screen somewhere, and see if it's showing Mute selected [08:45] ruan_, sorry I misunderstood. No it isn't possible. [08:45] i have tried by using different techniques but no luck [08:45] * lot [08:45] SealedWithAKiss: why can't you run it off wine? [08:46] ruan_, http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=892 [08:47] in "Sound Preference" i cannot see any hard driver [08:47] ah ok [08:48] what about virtualbox/vmware [08:49] if all else fails, of course [08:49] Jordan_U, any progress? [08:51] SealedWithAKiss: You appear to have done some odd, and in some cases incorrect, things to try to add a windows entry manually to grub. And I don't see any automtic entry in either of the two grub.cfgs you have (again odd that you have two). I really am too tired to sort it all out at the moment. I'd say try booting with Super GRUB2 Disk (burn it to a CD, unetbootin will *not* work) and if that doesn't allow you to boot windows then look for another computer [08:51] lolol [08:52] Jordan_U, do you anticipate that this miss will take a long time to sort out? I don't have a CD to hand. [08:52] mess * [08:53] how can I see what display driver X is using? [08:53] Dewi: what is X? [08:53] ruan_: xorg I guess [08:54] ruan_: it hasn't been retired in 1010 has it? [08:54] testing [08:54] SealedWithAKiss: Yes. [08:54] isn't it possible to boot off usb? [08:54] leave [08:54] Jordan_U, is re-installing the whole OS a quick-fix option? I really need this sorted as soon as possible. [08:55] SealedWithAKiss: Yes, re-installing Windows should fix it. [08:55] Jordan_U, I mean Ubuntu. [08:55] SealedWithAKiss: No, I don't think that will help, though I'm not sure. [08:56] Dewi: you can check /var/log/Xorg* log files [08:56] SealedWithAKiss: fastest solution i can think of is emulation [08:57] I don't know what to do. It doesn't appear as though anybody in here is experienced enough to be able to help me resolve this problem, perhaps other than Jordan_U but he's understandably tired. [08:57] if SealedWithAKiss ran fixmbr from the windows seven cd would that enable him to boot into seven (at the cost of losing grub and ability to boot into ubuntu temporarily) [08:57] That means I have no chance! [08:57] ok please do not kick me or ban but i really must flame ubuntu for a 1 or 2 mins why the hell did ubuntu decide to drop support for nvida cards when nvidia has always supported linux it was ati that was not on board right up till 9.10 everything was fine then 10.04 comes out and bang no more nvida support i just do not understand why break something that wasn't broke what the hell is going on ? [08:58] White-Horse: im on a nvidia card and its working for me.. [08:58] mage7, I don't have a Windows 7 CD. I installed from an ISO. [08:58] dc5ala: thcx [08:58] er, thx [08:58] SealedWithAKiss: It's easy to boot from an iso with Virtualbox. [08:58] huh....how did y ou boot into the iso? [08:59] White-Horse i am on an nvidia 8600m-gt on 10.10 and its working fine [08:59] yes but the nvidia linux priority driver has been drop from hardware driver [08:59] anyone similar with this errors? warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to ‘char*’ [08:59] error: ‘strstr’ was not declared in this scope [08:59] now you must install it yourself and config X [08:59] Jordan_U, I have a Windows ISO located on my Windows partition. You're saying that there's a way to boot from that without a CD from Linux so that I can use the recovery console to fixmbr? [09:00] White-Horse have you tried System>Administration>Additional-Drivers? [09:00] yes i have [09:00] SealedWithAKiss: No. I'm saying that you can use that to install and use Windows within a virtual machine.' [09:00] also when you install it yourself the boot up screen is all messed up [09:00] only after you boot into linux the screen is ok [09:00] Is there any way to run the fixmbr command from Linux? [09:01] Can someone maybe help me w/ this: I just built this system - i have 2 optical drives (one is cd rw, the other is dvd r) -- i want to boot from the dvd, but it doesn't appear to be resovlable as bootable option :-/ [09:01] White-Horse: Ubuntu has never dropped nvidia support. [09:01] hello [09:01] yes they did [09:01] SealedWithAKiss: Yes, but I'm not sure if it will help, and it will make Ubuntu unbootable. [09:01] i'm trying to get kopete on ubuntu 10.04 -- i downloaded kopete, and libjasper-runtime - but it won't start. i have a pastebin if someone can help? [09:01] there is no nvidia linux priority driver in ubuntu 10.04 [09:01] White-Horse: no it hasn't, you're just doing it wrong. [09:01] how to recover commands in the history after delete? [09:01] White-Horse: again, wrong. [09:01] how to recover commands in the history after delete? [09:02] White-Horse: It is the same with Windows as well..when you install windows you have to use Windows update to download the nvidia drivers [09:02] White-Horse: what method are you trying to use to install the driver? [09:02] when i scan for drivers ubuntu says none are in use/found [09:02] Jordan_U, will you be able to tell me how? It's a risk I'm willing to take. [09:02] White-Horse: 'when i scan' <-- what does that mean? [09:02] satya: which commands in which history? [09:02] under sys admin hardware drivers [09:03] Jordan_U, I'd love to remove Linux but I need it. I need both Linux and Windows equally. Getting them to co-exist just causes me trouble though. [09:03] just like i did in 9.10 [09:03] lol, windows update never got me updated nvidia drivers [09:03] SealedWithAKiss you might end up in a situation without neither windows or ubuntu [09:03] White-Horse: alright, what is the output of this command: lspci | grep VGA [09:03] ruan_: in ubuntu all of the commands previously run are stored in the history [09:03] *with [09:03] in fact 9.10 found the driver on its own [09:03] Is anybody working on rails [09:03] SealedWithAKiss: sudo apt-get install mbr; sudo install-mbr /dev/sda [09:03] ?? [09:03] ruan_: i deleted with history -c. now how to recover it? [09:03] satya: you mean terminal? [09:04] Jordan_U, assuming this ruins absolutely everything and I can't boot into either partition, a Live CD will help me right? [09:04] ruan_: yes [09:04] White-Horse: yes, well, I run a bunch of 10.04 systems and they all found the right driver for the nvidia cards on them. [09:04] SealedWithAKiss: If that doesn't help though, seriously give up for now and go to a computer lab on campus or something. [09:04] it shows my video card [09:04] i am not on ubuntu atm [09:04] but i did all that before [09:04] White-Horse: well, you should be [09:05] i can't cause i can not get my card to work lol [09:05] White-Horse: we're here to offer support and to solve the problem, not act as your punching bag. [09:05] SealedWithAKiss: Yes, follow this guide to restore grub: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide === geirha_ is now known as geirha [09:05] White-Horse: you can get into the gui without the driver, therefore you can. [09:05] Jordan_U, I have ran the commands. My fate now lies with the computer Gods. [09:05] SealedWithAKiss: If your Ubuntu install is 64 bit you will need a 64 bit liveCD to follow that guide. [09:05] then why is all this stuff in the ubuntu fourms [09:05] Jordan_U, it is a 64-bit installation. [09:05] White-Horse: without a url, your complaint is meaningless. [09:06] SealedWithAKiss: Again, if that doesn't help though, seriously give up for now and go to a computer lab on campus or something to finish your homework. [09:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [09:06] White-Horse: that's not a forum url, that's a wiki url. [09:07] ok 1 sec i find another [09:07] Jordan_U, right I'm taking her down for a reboot. If this works I'll come back onto IRC in a couple of minutes - if I'm not back on it's dead and I have resigned to travelling into university to the computer labs. [09:07] good luck. [09:07] White-Horse: those are typical instructions, did you try following them? [09:07] ruan_, thanks man. [09:07] Here goes....! [09:09] and with that SealedWithAKiss has set off on his perilous journey to Mount Doom [09:09] mage7: maybe not yet [09:09] I get the feeling that White-Horse is gui-dependent [09:10] no i use the terminal [09:10] as well [09:10] oh [09:10] so what would hold you back from getting on irc in ubuntu? [09:10] ruan_: do u know how to recover it? [09:10] cause i do not have ubuntu installed atm [09:11] then come back when you do have it installed [09:11] it wouldn't hurt to install updates after you install, too [09:12] satya: im not completely sure [09:12] White-Horse: also, great program that can help with troubleshooting: pastebinit [09:12] in my opinion todays users cant be expected to use the terminal or rtfm for usual tasks [09:12] i used pastebin many times here [09:12] White-Horse: seriously, get Ubuntu installed again, come on back, we'll help you get your nvidia to work properly. [09:12] ok [09:12] shopt -s histappend [09:12] PROMPT_COMMAND=`history -a` [09:12] but so many ppl here told me i need to use scripts etc..... [09:13] White-Horse: also, are you using wubi or installing to a real partition? [09:13] and i need to mess around with vesa [09:13] White-Horse: well, nvidia doesn't use vesa [09:13] White-Horse: your choices of drivers: nv, nouveau, nvidia. the 3rd one is the one you want to install. [09:13] i use the alt. cd to set up lvm [09:14] satya: try that [09:14] why do you need LVM? [09:14] to encrypt mt HDD's [09:14] my* [09:14] okay [09:14] well get your encryption sorted and come back [09:14] there's usually someone with their head screwed on correctly in here that can help [09:15] thats 1 other thing it will not let me said up hardware raid 0 [09:15] says only software raid 1 is supported [09:15] usually myself, actionparsnip, Jordan_U, among others... [09:15] well, you need a real hardware raid solution to do hardware raid [09:15] ruan_: i got it with this command: cat /home/username/.bash_history [09:16] and if you're going to do raid, might as well be hardware based [09:16] i have one [09:16] software raid just plain sucks [09:16] i know [09:16] :) [09:16] satya:ok [09:17] White-Horse: how many times have you done the whole lvm+encryption setup? [09:17] in fact it was actionparsnip that gave me a url to fix the boot up issues with ubuntu 10.04 and the nvidia driver proms. [09:17] ah okay [09:18] how i can make cd image from installed Ubuntu Distro [09:18] Driver proms sounds romantic [09:18] he said he made alittle script to fix that [09:18] .bash_history shows my learning timeline [09:18] lol [09:18] i done the lvm+encryption since 8.04 [09:18] nice [09:19] I think I tried it a couple times..... something got screwed up at somepoint and my home directory wouldn't fsck anymore [09:19] so I tossed it and reinstalled [09:19] i never had that prom [09:19] it always works 100% [09:19] eeprom? [09:19] trouble* [09:20] yeah, 'prom' isn't recognizable as 'problem' [09:20] heh [09:20] its shorter to type [09:20] I wonder if the alt cd isn't utilizing something that the desktop cd does [09:20] prob also works [09:20] ruan_: what is learning timeline [09:21] satya: how i learned to use terminal [09:21] yes, 'prob' makes more sense [09:21] satya: a timeline of how i used terminal and learned to use it [09:21] ok well when i get my Dell Optiplex 780 i will try again with ubuntu 10.04 and come back here for help with the nvidia driver [09:22] Dell's can be tricky, but they tend to 'just work' for the most part [09:22] as for now i will stay with the Dell Workstation T3400 on Windows Server [09:22] when install ubuntu using free space it says no root file system is defined [09:22] best oxymoron I've read all day [09:23] well, I'm off to bed [09:23] gibss37: i think you need to make a partition formatted as ext4 [09:23] thank you Gnea :) [09:23] White-Horse: good luck :) [09:23] yep [09:23] when i try to make it an ext4 using gparted and then select it it says no swap memory selected [09:23] sorry for flaming but sometimes i just do not understand why things are done lol [09:23] i really do like ubuntu very much [09:24] not a problem, you didn't go off the deep end with it [09:24] gibss37: you might need a swap partition as well i guess [09:24] #windows [09:24] how to get any network activity tray icon [09:24] & [09:24] ? [09:24] in xfce [09:24] POPEYE: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:24] POPEYE: add to panel > system monitor [09:24] xfce? [09:24] White-Horse: most of the time, people come in here complaining about stuff and never stop to think that the more they complain, the worse their problem gets [09:24] ruan_: so what should i do, i am on windows, should i make two partitions one for swap and other for ubuntu [09:24] true [09:24] but thats also how you get change done [09:25] ruan_: i got history in my machine. but i could not got in my client machine, with bash_history [09:25] if no one complains nothing gets done [09:25] White-Horse: not around here, most of the time it results in expulsion [09:25] well maybe i will send an email to the makers of ubuntu :) [09:25] heh [09:26] and ask them what the hell they are doing [09:26] " add to panel > system monitor" in xfce no those item [09:26] what is xfce? [09:26] that's what I've wondered too at times [09:26] !xfce [09:26] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [09:26] ah [09:26] so there is xfce, gnome, and kde [09:26] ruan_: what is shopt -s histappend and PROMPT_COMMAND=history -a [09:26] i did read the reason for removing the driver is because ubuntu wants to be 100% open source [09:26] satya: it brings history back if it hasn't been cleared [09:27] White-Horse: well, it hasn't been removed from 10.04 or 10.10 [09:27] White-Horse: and that isn't really true - Debian is that way for sure [09:27] but at the same time ubuntu says it wants to be easy enough even for someone that never used linux before [09:27] White-Horse: but Ubuntu strives to do what Debian can't and won't do [09:28] is there a need of three differentpartitions namely : 1. root ( / ) in ext4 2. home (/home ) in ext4 and 3. swap [09:28] :Gnea xfce is a type of window manager [09:28] i find ubuntu easier than windows. [09:28] solaris0: I know. [09:29] anyway, as I said, it's sleepy time [09:29] later [09:29] well i must be crazy because when i use on 9.10 ubuntu found the nvidia driver on its own and installed and config X on it own now with 10.04 it does not do that anymore [09:29] gibss37, that's the usual partition setup, yes [09:29] ruan_: what is PROMPT_COMMAND=history -a [09:29] satya: im not sure, i googled for that [09:29] White-Horse: you always have to enable the nvidia video module manually with the drivers tool [09:29] White-Horse: that has been the case in every release. [09:29] not in 9.10 [09:29] Madpilot: so which one should i use for installing from those three [09:30] White-Horse: yes, in 9.10 the propritary nvidia modules won't get enabled unless you tell it do [09:30] hi [09:30] in 9.10 ubuntu asked you if you wanted to installed the driver [09:30] gibss37, which one what? your system lives in /, your own files in /home, swap is, well, swap. All three are in use. [09:30] in 10.04 it does not evne find it . [09:30] even* [09:30] White-Horse: yes, so you selected "yes" therefore enabling it [09:31] White-Horse: what video card is it? [09:31] I still don't understand White-Horse's difficulty exactly ..was he trying to do something technical....my ubuntu installed pretty much out of the box except for nvidia drivers but that was just 2 clicks away at System>Administration>Additional drivers...I am noob to linux and it didnt require anything else [09:31] eVGA GT 430 [09:31] no i am saying when it says to select a partition to install ubuntu, where should point the setup [09:31] White-Horse: is that card supported by the current Nvidia driver modules ? [09:31] for me it came up with the option to install drivers and i installed current. [09:31] yes [09:31] White-Horse: how do you know ? [09:31] and it works perfectly [09:31] i checked [09:31] White-Horse: where ? [09:31] hey people. where I can set PATH for superuser ? [09:32] right from nvidia website [09:32] /home/amok/.bashrc ? [09:32] so when you go to the additional drivers menu, does it offer you an nvidia module to install ? [09:32] i have never seen that additional drivers menu in ubuntu 10.04 [09:33] i only see hardware drivers [09:33] not under system > admin > additional drivers? [09:33] White-Horse: it's in system->administration [09:33] White-Horse: hardware drivers is the tool === Nick is now known as SealedWithAKiss [09:33] White-Horse: does that offer you an nvidia driver ? [09:33] i do not know because i never seen that [09:34] like i have 4 gb of ram so do i need 8 gb swap [09:34] Jordan_U, the machine died. R.I.P. [09:34] i look for drivers the same way i did in 9.10 [09:34] White-Horse: ok, I suggest you look in the hardware drivers menu [09:34] is there anyway to name the virtual desktops while running compiz? [09:34] Jordan_U, I'm using a friends netbook.# [09:34] White-Horse, it's System->Admin->Hardware Drives on 9.10 as well, though. [09:34] White-Horse: look for drivers using the tool I've just told you [09:35] yes but soon as i scan for driver 9.10 found them right away [09:35] White-Horse: look for drivers using the tool I've just told you [09:35] hello, have ubuntu 10.10 server, have set up bridge in interfaces and dhcpd3 - problem is - dhcpd3 tries to start up before bridge is ready... and never gets started on starup... [09:35] any ideas? [09:35] 10.04 does not [09:35] The name on 10.10 is System>Admin > Additional drivers [09:35] White-Horse: look for drivers using the tool I've just told you [09:35] hi anyone knows how i can install a different version of a program without losing the old one? [09:35] FUCK ! IDIOTS !! I ASKED: WHERE I CAN CHANGE PATH ?? [09:35] w/hois amok [09:35] that was fast. [09:36] ok i will give it try thank you all for your help on this have a good night/day [09:37] anybody? [09:37] ruan_, machine died. [09:37] gibss37: what was your question [09:37] where does flash 10.2.152.27 keep the loaded videos? It used to keep them in /tmp [09:37] SealedWithAKiss: cant boot at all? [09:37] koodough: I have 4gb of ram do i need 8 gb swap [09:38] gibss37: depends what you're going to do [09:38] gibss37: what are you using the computer for? Mostly the answer is no [09:38] !swap | gibss37 [09:38] gibss37: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [09:38] gibss37 for 99.999% of people, no [09:39] i would be using ubuntu for only running apache for my website [09:39] so how much swap i should go for [09:39] gibss37: it really depends on your machine, and how many hits you'll get [09:39] gibss37: meh. Really up to you. I would put 2gb for the heck of it [09:40] personally i use no swap at all, but i do nothing ram-heavy [09:40] gibss37, if there's plenty of free space, just use some gigs for swap... for worst cases [09:40] gibss37: you probably won't use it for a apache server [09:40] koodough: why ? [09:41] i dont want have a vps on ther systems [09:41] gibss37, you can always add swap-files to swap-space manually ... if you think you need more [09:42] today I uninstalled openoffice, office on a windows virtual machine is way faster [09:42] gibss37: Harddrive are so big today that 2gb for swap isn't a problem. You dont have to have any, which some of my system don't. Apache doesn't use much ram so I would not worry [09:42] hello trying to install this rapidsvn but getting this error configure: error: APR is required. Try --with-apr-config.

[09:49] SealedWithAKiss: is it possible to get into any terminal? or windows recovery console? [09:49] ruan_, nothing. It wants a CD. [09:49] SealedWithAKiss: can't boot off a flash usb? [09:50] where does flash 10.2.152.27 keep the loaded videos? It used to keep them in /tmp [09:50] ruan_, You need to use EasyBCD to create a bootable USB on another Windows machine. Then copy the contents of the ISO you downloaded from our ISO to the USB, and use EasyBCD to add a WinPE entry pointing to the .WIM file on the USB. Apparently.

[09:57] no, single hard drive, one OS never installed anything but ubuntu [09:58] stuart: so there is no other OS on it, just ubuntu ? [09:58] yup [09:58] stuart: ok, how many partitions on the disk ? [09:59] not sure, command line command to assess this? [09:59] I have only one partiton on disk and i want to install one more os . can somebody help me with this [10:00] stuart: pastebin the output of "sudo fisk -l" please [10:00] dhiren: you just need to resize that partition to make space, create a new partition and install the OS there [10:01] how to resize [10:01] dhiren: use a tool such as gparted, but you'll have to do it from the livecd as your partition will be in use [10:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/573863/ [10:02] ok..can i make one more parition with it [10:02] dhiren: if you have space, sure [10:02] dhiren: if not make space as I just told you [10:02] i have space [10:02] stuart: that's great, that looks simple [10:02] dhiren: make one then [10:03] yeah, pretty stripped down laptop at this point...also makes me think the solution will be simple [10:03] ikonia:thanks [10:03] stuart: you're running on a livecd now ? [10:03] no, i used supergrub2disk to boot...i can also enter in a bunch of stuff at the prompt to boot manually as well, but that is slow [10:04] stuart: use an ubuntu live cd so we use the correct grub versions to restore [10:05] hmm...not possible to do without the live CD? I only ask, because doing things in the live environment is pretty slow [10:05] ikonia: Super GRUB2 Disk boots the actual installed system, so it's better in that respect than a liveCD. [10:05] stuart: that's just a fact of life, you need to use the right tools with the right versions [10:05] Jordan_U: it's booting from his hard disk ? [10:05] ikonia: Yes. [10:05] oh, cool [10:05] stuart: there you go then, that's good [10:06] Anyone have time to help me ASAP? My system says "An error occurred while mounting" when i try to boot [10:06] Jordan_U: thank you [10:06] ikonia: You're welcome. === ubuntu_ is now known as SealedWithAKisss [10:06] stuart: so work through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub this guide until the part where you mount your disks [10:06] i'm sorry i didn't realize that it wasn't clear that i am working in the proper booted OS [10:06] last thing i remember doing was mounting a ftp through nautilus [10:06] jnjnjn: looks like something happened to fstab [10:07] ruan_, right I'm back on the machine. I'm on a Live USB - Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition. [10:07] ruan_ my fstab looks normal [10:07] doesn't matter that i never installed windows?

I can't boot into either Windows or Ubuntu now. [10:07] Now * [10:08] jnjnjn: error=remount. so it wont let you pass without mounting? [10:08] stuart: hang on I'll get you a better link [10:08] ruan_ yes that drive is where my filesystem is on [10:08] unfortunately I changed the permission of /var folder to 777 and now I am not able to open phpmyadmin :( how to reset the permission [10:09] jnjnjn: ah. is it UIID or UUID? [10:09] Jordan_U, is there a way to 'undo' the MBR commands I issued? [10:09] In my fstab it says UUID [10:09] Jordan_U, by perhaps mounting the file sytem and chrooting into it? [10:09] or what should be permission of /var folder [10:09] SealedWithAKisss: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide [10:09] ruan_ think that UUID is correct [10:10] jnjnjn: are you on the machine? [10:10] ruan_ i have booted from livecd and mounted the filesystem so i can edit the files [10:11] stuart: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 scroll down to rescue mode [10:13] seen it [10:13] Jordan_U, how I identify my boot partition from the fdisk -l list? [10:13] Jordan_U, the one with an asterisk in the boot column? [10:13] my laptop temperature is: [10:13] Thermal 2: ok, 74.0 degrees C [10:13] too high (idle)? [10:14] SealedWithAKisss: yep === tsukeHiki is now known as feature [10:14] if i understood the /etc/default/grub and grub.cfg files better i might under stand the source of the problem...i assume that something is wrong in one or both of these files === feature is now known as tesuji [10:14] ruan_ i have irc on another computer so if you have any suggestions i can run them on my machine [10:14] Jordan_U, I cannot mount the boot partition. It's also the partition containing Windows. I receive an error when mounting. [10:14] however, looking at them, they seem normal === tesuji is now known as tsuke [10:15] SealedWithAKisss: You don't have a separate /boot partition. [10:15] Jordan_U, ah. Thanks. [10:16] SealedWithAKisss: You're welcome. [10:16] hello [10:16] Hi guys, i'm running ubuntu 10.04 and i modified my fstab so it can mount my windows partition. Now i have 2 shortcuts for the same partition. Any idea how to fix it ? [10:16] i have a question for something strange .. i had 2 hdd with bout connected ubuntu gets stuck and doesn't pass over grub on install ... with only one evrything works perfect [10:17] what is the problem ? [10:17] sorry about my english [10:17] stuart: Just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc -pcritical" [10:18] Jordan_U, I encounter a problem with "sudo chroot /mnt" - chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory [10:19] sorry, just on the phone, Jordan_U that's a much better solution than I was doing [10:19] Is security.ubuntu.com down for apt-get? [10:19] SealedWithAKisss: Then you mounted the wrong partition. [10:19] by the way any good link to bitchx i didn't succeded to launch on ubuntu x64 [10:19] i've run that line except without the "-pcritical"...what's the difference? [10:19] stuart: With -pcritical it doesn't ask any configuration questions, [10:20] hi, I'm trying to help someone with an ubuntu system and I'm struggling to get my head around where different services are being started at boot. I presume it's being handled by upstart. How do I disable upstart services? [10:20] Jordan_U, spot on. I mounted dev/sda2 rather than dev/sda7. [10:20] is http://security.ubuntu.com/ down just for me or everyone [10:20] i believe this means that it won't solve the problem [10:20] ruan_ sorry im impatient, think you can help me out? [10:21] im in a pinch here :) [10:21] hi [10:21] hi === keynss is now known as keyns [10:21] jnjnjn: i don't think i'll be able to help, but someone else may be able to [10:21] ok [10:21] usb-creator fails repeatedly [10:21] is there any ubuntu .img? [10:21] can i run nautilus from a mounted filesystem? [10:22] jnjnjn: all i can think of is using "sudo fdisk -l" and verifying some data [10:22] stuart: Why do you think that? [10:22] is there any ubuntu .img? [10:22] I wish I could keep it simple [10:22] dd if=ubuntu.img of=/dev/sdb [10:22] would be great. [10:23] i have executed that command before [10:23] addikt1ve, just use the .iso file [10:23] just found the problem with my hangups .. seems that those hdd woren't compatible with eachoter and droped speed ... so i found an easy fix ... removed one hdd [10:23] and i'm still experiencing the problem [10:23] stianhj: dd if=ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdb ? [10:23] addikt1ve, yes [10:23] stianhj: does it really work? [10:23] hey all [10:23] stuart: Can you pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc"? [10:23] addikt1ve, if usb creator keeps failing unetbootin might work [10:24] ruan_ it all happed after i tried to mount a ftp drive through nautilus (i think thats the source of evil anyways) [10:24] addikt1ve, yes [10:24] Hi there! [10:24] ruan_ maybe i need to unmount that drive, thats why im asking if i can run nautilus from a mounted filesystem [10:24] Jordan_U, "sudo umount /dev/sda2" causes a device is busy error. [10:25] karla: unetbootin is total bullshit [10:25] Jordan_U, similarly does "sudo umount /mnt" [10:25] thanks stianhj I'm doing it right now [10:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/573871/ [10:25] is there a easy way to do find and replace in a file in terminal [10:25] yes wizek [10:25] shaghost: sed [10:25] shaghost: or directly in your editor like vim [10:26] shaghost: sed -i file 's/lol/wat/g' [10:26] will replace any "lol" by "wat" in file [10:27] Need help ASAP so i can get back to work, here is link to my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10507980#post10507980 [10:27] ubuntu dl with 100 kb/sec :S [10:27] addikt1ve: Thanks! [10:27] np shaghost [10:27] SealedWithAKisss: fuser /mnt/ to see what process is using files on that filesystem. [10:27] keyns: i get 5-10 times that to my normal server [10:27] I've made a USB live cd of Ubuntu 10.10 with the Universal USB Installer ubuntu.com has recommended me. It works fine except one little thing: It discads all my changes I make to it when I restart or shut down. How can I enaple the saving of settings, preferences, installed packages etc? So that it behaves much like a persistent installatiomn not a Live CD, but still is bootable from my flash. [10:27] shaghost what can be problem im l from ubuntu.com [10:27] i have 450 100% [10:27] 450 kb/sex [10:27] Jordan_U, no ouput. [10:27] sec lol [10:28] Wizek: If it's large enough, do a normal install. [10:28] keyns, the subconscious, powerful thing :) [10:28] Hi. I have a monitor plugged into a PC running Ubuntu and the monitor says "signal over range". Restarting X (sudo restart gdm) via ssh doesn't seem to affect it. [10:28] Jordan_U: 4 GB [10:28] The same monitor works fine plugged into my MacBook Pro (at least under Windows). [10:28] Jordan_U: That's sufficient, isn't it? [10:28] Any suggestions? [10:28] Hello, I can't find 'amap' anympore on Ubuntu, the Amap scanning tool has been replaced by amap-align which is different (a Protein multiple alignment by sequence annealing) [10:28] Wizek: That wouldn't leave too much room for documents but is more than enough for Ubuntu itself. [10:29] where can I find amap back ? [10:29] jnjnjn, i *think*, change the -ro in fstab file to -rw ? would make sense [10:29] karla? :)) [10:29] Jordan_U: Thoughts? [10:29] i just did apt-get upgrade and getting 5,580kB/sec [10:29] err [10:29] now in mb/sec [10:29] stianhj ok will try [10:30] Jordan_U: That's not too good news, as I'd like to install other things as well... Isn't there a way to enable "saving" in this current install? [10:30] hm wow 10 guys ask help in 1 min help that jnjnjn guy he needs help to continue work [10:30] odd, i have -ro and it works fine [10:30] stuart: sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy [10:30] ubuntu here i come! hope it wont hurt [10:30] Admintly i am running on campus, and it is 5 jumps to a internet-2 server [10:30] with unlimited bandwith to it [10:31] keyns, that's me :) [10:31] k, done, should i try a reboot?

[10:33] i am not sure [10:33] jnjnjn, that was just a wild guess [10:33] addikt1ve, and that has worked fine for me, so i don't know what to tell ya [10:33] karla, how to check [10:33] I don't think it did stianhj [10:33] So, my question is rather this: How can I set up persistence on a flash drive if it has been set up with no persistence? I've heard that I have to do something with the casper-rw file, but I don't have that one... [10:33] I think you suck [10:33] thanks, however [10:33] karla, wait [10:34] (usb live system) [10:34] stuart: I actually misunderstood that output, while upgrade-from-grub-legacy won't hurt anything I don't think it was required. [10:34] karla , yes installed [10:35] any other suggestion [10:35] Jordan_U, I gave up trying to umount /mnt and mounted the actual partition (/dev/sda7) to /mnt1. Again I issued "sudo chroot /mnt1" and received the same 'bin/bash' error. [10:35] /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build must point to a valid directory, but also it might be that the module is incompatible with your kernel version [10:35] SealedWithAKisss: If the partition doesn't have /bin/bash then it's not the partition you want. [10:35] ubuntu for windows installer is good? [10:35] Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/H5Ktn9PF [10:35] or complete ubuntu os?

[10:50] :( [10:51] keyns: are you using a download manager? [10:52] erUSUL, I was having problems with Vista. I upgraded to Windows 7 and then discovered that it didn't resolve my problems, so I performed a clean installation. Windows removed GRUB and since I wanted to use the Windows boot loader to access both Ubuntu and Windows 7 I downloaded EasyBCD. Upon rebooting there was no option for Windows 7, only a Linux option. Hitting enter on the Linux option caused GRUB to load which had an ent [10:52] ry for my old Vista partition. This wouldn't boot Windows however, whenever I select it the screen would go blank and it would return me to the GRUB menu. So I booted into Ubuntu and sought advice in here. In the end I installed an MBR application of some kind and attempted to correct the MBR from the Ubuntu command line. Upon rebooting I received an error stating that a particular file was corrupt and Windows couldn't boot ( [10:52] I don't remember the file name, something with neo and grub0.mbr in it). I am now using a Ubuntu Live USB to attempt to gain help. I have a university assignment due in later today and need to fix this problem so that I can use Visual Studio. That's the long story. [10:52] SealedWithAKisss: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:53] SealedWithAKisss: so all the problems begin with a third arty windows app? ... i would reinstall grub from the livecd in the mbr. then once i can boot the hard disk ubuntu install find out how to configure grub to boot the vista install [10:54] Hi, has anyone been facing this issue of applications hanging on lucid lynx? Applications freeze, and top shows nothing significant [10:54] SealedWithAKisss: or use a windows installcd to fix the vista boot loader so we make sure any trace of EasyBCD is gone and then reinstall grub [10:54] helllo is some one can me to download mac os free at any site [10:54] pls tell me website please [10:54] !warez | nash__ [10:54] nash__, no [10:54] nash__: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels.

[11:06] SealedWithAKiss: is there any windows seven disc you can borrow from anyone? [11:06] Maartendeboer: This channel, or perhaps #ubuntu-server. I believe the Ubuntu Server Guide has a page on setting up dhcp server btw. [11:07] kothaguy_ubuntu, you should have permissions to write into the folder, only then you can write into it. check the permissions of the folder by doing ls -l on it [11:07] Thanks for responding, geirha [11:07] Maartendeboer: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/dhcp.html [11:07] Yes, it does, I have been following it but I run into something unexpected when starting the server daemon [11:07] ill look it over again quickly [11:07] SealedWithAKisss: maybe you could try this ? http://robert.penz.name/221/mini-howto-restore-windows-mbrbootloader-with-linux/ ?

[11:11] SealedWithAKiss: If you can obtain a windows seven disc ( perhaps a vista disc might be enough) running bootrec /fixmbr should be able to allow you to boot into windows provided the windows partition is not corrupted [11:11] erUSUL, sorry.

[11:11] SealedWithAKisss: there is a Solution 1 and a solution 2 [11:12] you said: " when it is running and am using it" [11:12] but now you say "it doesn't respond" [11:12] so? [11:12] erUSUL, oh I didn't realise I assumed they were a part of the same solution. [11:12] SealedWithAKisss: one with syslinux (package) and dd and the other with mbr ( package ) and the command you run... you only need one of those [11:12] erUSUL, I guess solution one worked then. The commands executed. [11:13] SealedWithAKisss: can you test if it worked? [11:13] erUSUL, reboot? [11:13] SealedWithAKisss: yes [11:13] erUSUL, see you soon!

[14:05] ruan: transmission-deamon [14:05] ruan: is for add --allowed [14:05] hay alguien en español? [14:05] abhijit: backing up a whole system also isn't usefull, backup /etc, your /homes and maybe parts of /var + a list of actually installed packages. so if you delete the whole drive again, just install a new linux, get installed packages back from the list, get your configs back and you're done [14:05] !es | Guest43856 [14:05] Guest43856: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés.

Maybe ##linux can help you.

[14:53] ActionParsnip: i agree, that link is awesome. [14:53] why does "add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa;apt-get update;apt-get install wine1.3;" install cvs? [14:53] kman_: I don't know what a ".dat package of R" is; I'm not very familiar with R. However dpkg only installs debs and R is in the repositories. Why not just install R from the repositories using APT? [14:54] Hans_Henrik: Because the person who made the PPA specified it as a dependency?

Your only chance would be to setup some sort of symlink I guess [14:57] Hans_Henrik: I don't know, without looking at the PPA itself or talking to the developer/user that created the PPA theres no way to know for sure.

[14:58] AndroidKris: do you mean adding things to panel? [14:59] llutz, im trying to do just that but i just get "permission denied" when running the command. Perhaps i need to unmount the drive first. [14:59] No, like, I want a clock and a system monitor thing on my desktop [14:59] tuzlo_: yes as far as I know [14:59] kman_: use sudo [14:59] AndroidKris: gdesklets [14:59] ok, restarting [14:59] llutz, sudoing all i can.

[15:00] hello [15:00] got_grubed: i'm at work and youtube is blocked in hours :( [15:00] llutz, do i need to set write permissions on my usb drive to be able to do that? [15:00] kman_: it has to be writable for root [15:00] ActionParsnip: it's the link you gave to me [15:00] Reinstall grub2 using Ubuntu live CD [15:01] i have installed fglrx due to problems of my ATI card with open source drivers... and now after the boot screen i have a black screen for about 10 seconds... is it possible to avoid this? [15:01] /away not here [15:01] oops, sorry [15:01] Matt-_-: i believe there is a solution for a blank screen [15:02] secretary_linux: yeah, that's basically what this instdir option is for. I don't know if that's kman_ wants to do [15:02] !blackscreen [15:02] ActionParsnip: can I do sudo update-grub2 or do i need to reinstall grub [15:02] !blankscreen [15:02] ruan: help me out pls [15:02] got_grubed: what is the prob?

[15:03] ruan: and I want to fix grub [15:03] ActionParsnip: here http://pastebin.com/G7WET2n4 [15:03] Matt-_-: something like remove the line "splash" from grub bootloader [15:03] ruan: im following this guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&v=w6fpIe-QnVE [15:03] motaka2, open the Disk Utility [15:03] Hans_Henrik: Are you sure that it depends on CVS, or is it being pulled in as a suggested package?

[15:05] llutz, jrib --instdir looks like what i want to use, but i just get "permission denied" when trying to write to the usb even when using sudo. [15:05] ruan: grub-install /dev/sda ? [15:05] motaka2, open a terminal window, and type: sudo palimpsest [15:05] Pici: not sure, and cant test it now [15:05] compdoc: I have to boot with live cd to do that?

Im running between multiple GNU/Linux machines and want to be able to bring my library with me. I figured why not try to install an entire R environment instead of just the library on my usb.

Burning .iso files: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [15:10] motaka2: you should reverse your approach and use grub as the boot loader for windows, windows is not friendly to linux. [15:11] i think ive got a virus, when i start my pc i get message about a program wanting to access but needs a pasword, it doesnt tell me the name of the program [15:11] jrib, perhaps i should just stick to the simple solution of installing R on all of the machines and just keep the library on my USB drive. [15:11] this is not for ubuntu, this is for archbang; i am using ubuntu right now, but i want to put the iso for archbang on a disc [15:11] i click cancel but i get it again and again [15:11] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/RWatnNja [15:11] jrib, I'll try that instead.

I imagine R has some way to drop extra plugins in your ~ and also keeping settings there. I'd consider just carrying that around [15:11] Thats what i'll do. [15:12] Take care y'all!

[15:55] Maynel, what did you use to download? [15:56] ok thanks [15:56] Maynel: why not show us the link you downloaded from? [15:56] ill do torrent [15:56] hi, trying to access an nfs share, i do "mount 10.6.128.14:/media/devhomes /mnt/mytest" on the client but i get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'nfs'". nfs-client and nfs-common are installed, modprobe nfs throws errros (sunrpc, auth_rpcgss,nfs_acl,fscache,lockd : no such file...) , kernel is 2.6.35-24-generic-pae . any idea what i'm missing ?

[15:58] Luigiana: try dropping the sense of entitlement. [15:58] ruan: The upgrade works on linux-image-2.6.32-3 and linux-image-2.6.32-1. Boot one of those and the upgrade will work nicely. [15:58] 14 bans? [15:58] look i meant it ironically if u didnt realize it [15:58] got_grubedlivecd: I think you used the wrong command there, if you are chrooted with /dev --bind mounted just "update-grub" should do the trick, right? ruan? [15:58] syrinx, you mean the nfs-share path ? i get permission denied error instead if i remove it from the server, so i think that one is correct [15:59] wow ... someone was being a bad boy ... [15:59] arand: I didnt use --bnd [15:59] u asked me to do something when i did it u wouldnt respond and i didnt like that [15:59] Luigiana: its been a long day, so no [15:59] i can open archive.canonical.com in a browser, but for some reason apt-get can't connect, anyone else having this issue? [15:59] got_grubedlivecd: When you mount /dev I think you should. [15:59] so do you know whats wrong? [15:59] sipior i dont know what u mean [15:59] Luigiana: what does the command output?

[16:00] as mentioned [16:00] but how can I do it in ubuntu ? [16:00] Luigiana: ok and do you have the proprietary nvidia driver installed? [16:00] sipior just leave me alone please [16:00] i used to updatemanager to update everything [16:00] deebo, i'm guessing that the servers are getting loaded up ... give it a few minutes and try again [16:00] but i dont know if it also updated the nvidia driver [16:00] Luigiana: gladly. [16:00] Luigiana: please target me if you intend text for me, the room is very busy and i'm in and out so I'll miss it, see how every reply to you I add your nick, please do likewise [16:01] slipp3d: its been like that the whole day [16:01] okay actionparsnip [16:01] Luigiana: run: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current it will install the proprietary driver for you [16:01] deebo, have you tried to change your mirrors?

You are currently using the open driver which wont run 3D games as well as the proprietary driver.

( I know that my mirrors that I use in the US are really slow today) [16:04] arand: grep: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory Cannot find list of partitions! [16:04] arand: what is wrong?

[16:07] Maynel, just ask your question... [16:07] ay official torrent of ubuntu except bitlord? [16:07] got_grubedlivecd: Hmm, might try adding --recheck to the grub command, but it should work without, so it did not finish the update despite the error?

[16:09] yes [16:09] botcity: sudo hostname NAME [16:09] syrinx_: i can hear the fan [16:09] got_grubedlivecd: done means done I guess, hopefully it might wokr, you could check if the grub.cfg looks reasonable whilst still in the chroot I guess.

[16:11] arand: i dont think it will work :( [16:11] ok [16:11] syrinx_: last night i was trying to copy some info off of my ipod to my desktop, freezed like 4 times while copying files, right now im using easytag to rename some files, and its bad. 95 - 100 percent on the cpu [16:11] Maynel: also make sure you compare the right md5sum... [16:11] after installing aegir-provision, how to connect it via url? [16:11] ActionParsnip: And yes i did reboot [16:11] Maynel: for windows i used IDM in the past, paused and resumed large files hundreds of times and they never broke [16:11] Luigiana: you said you rebooted, twice [16:11] Luigiana: like I said, I am in and out of here [16:11] botcity: if you use hostname to change your system's name, consider keeping a root terminal open (via sudo -i, for example). changing the system name can confuse sudo on occasion, so you may not be able to change the name back. or just make sure an appropriate entry exists in /etc/hosts. [16:12] syrinx_: it shows easy tag using 80-85 percent of the cpu [16:12] Luigiana: repeating just spams the channel and annoys everyine [16:12] /etc/aegir/vhost.d is empty [16:12] it all depends on the download manager [16:12] ActionParsnip: i spelled ur name wrong thats why i did it twice [16:12] needhelp1: you can kill that pid by typing k and the pid number of the process that's consuming your cpu [16:12] arand: it's using msdos things [16:12] Luigiana: did you run: nvidia-settings and setup the display? [16:12] drexl, that kills the app right? [16:12] I think so [16:12] needhelp1: well theres your problem [16:12] ActionParsnip no i only ran the command to install it [16:12] got_grubedlivecd: You just get a shell when you boot, any errors?

You should check for bugs with the driver. Maybe see if it happens with older/newer versions [17:32] i wanted to try [17:32] as i cant burn with poweriso [17:32] If all else fails, you might find a free piece of software for burning the iso file. [17:32] but why cant burn with power iso [17:32] ? [17:32] <[TK]D-Fender> [12:29] but then when i try to open dvd it freeze my windows <- firs, this isn't a ***DVD** [17:32] md5 is fie [17:32] strange [17:32] <[TK]D-Fender> mayNext, open HOW?

[17:33] wtf [17:33] Maynel: power iso is for converting something to iso or something like that...not for burning it [17:33] I cant explore bootble ubuntu dvd? [17:33] wastl i can burn with poweriso [17:33] .. [17:33] <[TK]D-Fender> Maynel: IT ISN'T A DVD IT IS A CD [17:33] Maynel: I like imgburn for windows... it's free. [17:34] <[TK]D-Fender> Maynel: Next, use a proper tool for the job [17:34] * wastl doesn't use windows...except for playing some games [17:34] this Maynel is flooding the channel with un-important things. [17:34] I have XUbuntu installed here via Wubi... if I installed a different Linux system using Wubi, would that overwrite my existing configuration with XUbuntu, or just add a third boot option? [17:34] hi fellow ubuntu users! i don't have a soundcard in my machine, but I want to use the snd-dummy .. where in the world are the dummy sound drivers located? (i don't think i have them in my repository) [17:34] Maynel: [TK]D-Fender: jmwpc: i like ubuntu because its ALL free [17:34] wastl: then you use windows [17:34] <[TK]D-Fender> syn3rgy: Even the non-free parts! [17:35] <[TK]D-Fender> syrinx_: rather [17:35] Maynel: please stop using the enter key as a comma or full stop [17:35] [TK]D-Fender: name fail lol [17:35] [TK]D-Fender: cd-iso burned to dvd runs fine [17:35] syrinx_: me too... windows is for work && WoW... I'm moving to ubuntu for everything else.

[17:35] I keep my windows because I still using SC3 Suite to design. [17:36] <[TK]D-Fender> syrinx_: Indeed [17:36] As soon as I learn how to design with Ubuntu, Bye Windows. [17:36] jmag, i use ubuntu for my all work and i dont use windows [17:36] [TK]D-Fender: you wouldn't happen to play, would you? [17:36] <[TK]D-Fender> llutz_: Yes, but you let one twit try and cheat and they'll think they don't have to follow any rules as stated [17:37] <[TK]D-Fender> llutz_: Everyone becomes "special", and they have they're own Olympics [17:37] How can I make install Ubuntu from LiveCD to USB without ruining grub? in 10.10 i dont any option to choose the bootloader. help!!

[17:38] fbsrosa: can't you use WINE for CS3? [17:38] anyone know whats going on with the security.ubuntu.com repository? is it under DDoS or just a really heavy day of traffic? [17:38] hi guys [17:38] VesaS: The disc is being mounted by the gnome helper, not the /etc/fstab. If you want to override the user and group, then adding an /etc/fstab for the disc is an easy solution. [17:38] whats the command to install sun java? [17:38] syrinx_: WINE??? what is it? [17:38] photerran: probably traffic [17:38] something like openjdk-something-something? [17:38] help [17:38] <[TK]D-Fender> llutz_: yeah, well at the same time he'll start reversing all sorts of things he'll tell us and we're not sure what he's actually following... it tend to lead to future miscommunication if he does. And hearing him mention DVD after being told repetitively makes us all wond what feeback we can trrust [17:38] !wine | fbsrosa [17:38] fbsrosa: 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 [17:39] Abhijit: you need to enable the partner repository then you can add it like normal, the package name is sun-java6-jdk [17:39] photerran: It is slow today because of the large number of security updates. [17:39] fbsrosa: a recursive definition ;) It means "Wine is not an Emulator" [17:39] *g* [17:39] got_grubed, it should be in the drop down menus preferences >> [17:39] photerran, ammm ok [17:39] wastl: good to know guys. [17:39] wastl: lol, that, too! [17:39] I'm newbie to Ubuntu. [17:39] though you use wine to emulate kind of windows environment to run some windows app in === wilsoa5 is now known as admiwi [17:39] edwardteach: i dont think so [17:40] 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 (this is /not/ bug 410407) [17:40] Launchpad bug 410407 in ia32-libs (Ubuntu) "Adobe Flash Player does not respond to mouse clicks [READ DESCRIPTION]" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/410407 [17:40] dajhorn: good to know... this makes is pretty much impossible for me to spin up new EC2 instances today [17:40] I changed to Ubuntu because I could not run Ruby on Rails well on Windows. [17:40] I'm on Ubuntu for only three weeks. [17:40] the EC2 image automatically connects to security.ubuntu.com and hangs (using cloud-config to run apt-upgrade) [17:40] lol [17:41] got_grubed, administration >> startup disk creator [17:41] edwardteach: that is for USB live not persistent. [17:41] photerran: us.archive has most (or all) of the security updates. You can temporarily change your security line. [17:41] I want to install Maverick from livecd to usb without ruining hdd grub [17:42] How to automatically convert files with various encodings to UTF8? [17:42] yes i already have... BUT i need partner too... is the partner repository mirrored anywhere other than archive.canonical.com? [17:42] fbsrosa: It's good to have you with us in the Ubuntu world. I have to be boring and point out that this is a support channel only - if you have a question, please ask it, or to chat go to #ubuntu-offtopic. [17:42] but changing the security mirror location to the EC2 mirror means my instance spin-up is not fully automated :-/ [17:42] which is OK for now, but i can't install sun-java at all! [17:42] Hello, howcome gparted sees my raid setup (stripe-0) (sis 182) as 2 seperate disks? [17:43] photerran: If you are stuck, then copy the debs that you need from /var/cache/apt/archives on a working EC2 instance. [17:43] got_grubed, u wont to run the os directly from the usb [17:43] good idea, this is a nasty workaround but it will get the job done, thanks for the tip! [17:43] dluzion: this usually happens if the kernel does recognize the controller and drives but not the raid component of it [17:43] photerran: Are you using the official EC2 images? -- I'm pretty sure that they pull from an archive instance in EC2/S3 land. [17:44] yes i am, and yes they use the EC2 mirror location for everything EXCEPT security updates, which it pulls direct from security.ubuntu.com [17:44] pkkm: The manpage for iconv might be useful to you [17:44] Darael: sorry, i didn't mean to chat here. I'm after learning. Sorry. [17:44] i can´t install ubuntu netbook in my laptop [17:44] <[TK]D-Fender> dlWhat did you set that "raid" up with? What data is on it? [17:44] i cant install sun java because canonical servers are off. help! [17:44] the process stop here http://img228.imageshack.us/i/sany1888.jpg/ [17:45] tap-out: yes! [17:45] <[TK]D-Fender> dluzion: What did you set that "raid" up with? What data is on it? [17:45] tap-out: but how can i choose the grub setting?! [17:45] fbsrosa: It's quite OK, we don't mind, just someone had to say it eventually. Have a good one. [17:45] anyone? [17:45] photerran: Bummer. [17:45] Is an initrd necessary to boot a Wubi Ubuntu install, or can I modify my kernel/initrd without paying any attention to wubi? [17:45] tell me about it, lol [17:45] Darael: Thanks for welcoming me. [17:45] I today installed ubuntu dual boot with windows 7, but when i booted windows 7, and used recovery, on restart a blank screen appeared with " No module found and No Operating system found" [17:45] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: Install onto another drive. Then jsut copy the partition over [17:46] 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 [17:46] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: The ubuntu installer "does tis thing". You don't get an "option" [17:46] genii-around, iconv isn't automatic. [17:46] <[TK]D-Fender> sotSo work around it [17:46] Darael: I noticed that you had problems with Flash. [17:46] hai... am need you help, am have used duel boot, ubuntu 10.10 and windows xp [17:46] got_grubed , tell first u won t to use the boot directly from the usb [17:46] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: So work around it [17:46] am need unistall windows xp [17:46] I'm having some also. [17:46] [TK]D-Fender: not it doesnt! it ruined the bootloader!!!!!!! [17:46] can any body help me.. [17:46] thats what i thought... [17:46] [TK]D-Fender: im ubuntu 10.10 there isnt an option to choose where to install the bootloader! [17:47] in [17:47] fbsrosa: Aye. Specifically, the shift key. Don't suppose you have any ideas? [17:47] Sometimes Flash animations don't open. [17:47] hai... am need unistall windows xp from my ubuntu, any body can help me to give some tutor. [17:47] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: Indeed. It installs on the SAME DRIVE. [17:47] pkkm: Have a cronjob that converts whatever you have in a directory or so. Or you want some way to have on-the-fly conversion? [17:47] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: So again.. cheat. Install on aother drive, then copy the partition. [17:47] got_grubed: I suggest using the alternate CD to do the install. It's what I did, works nicely. [17:47] Darael: When in YouTube, opens the first, but not the second I click on. [17:47] cmol: you want to uninstall windows? [17:47] [TK]D-Fender: i dont have another drive I have the HDD and the USB! [17:47] THE PROBLEM IS THE BOOTLOADER [17:48] fbsrosa: I'm not sure, sorry. [17:48] I today installed ubuntu dual boot with windows 7, but when i booted windows 7, and used recovery, on restart a blank screen appeared with " No module found and No Operating system found" [17:48] does anyone know a program that will read the contents of a folder then produce a list and put it in html format so I can view the contents of folders in a web browser [17:48] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: then set up a VM on your main HD and do it there [17:48] Darael: It's OK. [17:48] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: You will clearly need to get more creative. [17:48] cmol: you can edit your grub.conf file to allow for a dual boot of ubuntu and XP [17:48] got_grubed: what about installing the boot-loader by hand? [17:48] NethanG, yes am need unistall windows [17:48] Does anyone know a program that will read the contents of a folder then produce a list and put it in html format so I can view the contents of folders in a web browser? [17:49] xtrac: PHP can do that [17:49] <[TK]D-Fender> [12:47] THE PROBLEM IS THE BOOTLOADER <- And I heard you. Many times. The thing actually. And you can bypass all of that if you'll pay attention. [17:49] [TK]D-Fender: but why the hell in 10.10 there isnt an option to choose the bootloader [17:49] xtrac: why? You can just type file:/// in your address bar [17:49] iceroot: because i dont know how to do it? [17:49] I know but I want to make an mp3 playlist [17:49] in html [17:49] got_grubed: I submit that you can avoid the hassle of using another drive us [TK]D-Fender suggests by installing with the Alternate CD, which /will/ give you the option. [17:49] cmol, just delete windows partition from linux [17:49] xtrac: apache is doing that by default. called mod_listdir (imo) [17:49] and put it on my website [17:49] hi guys. i cant play .mkv files with big resolution, my cpu is running on limit all the time. do i need more cpu to encode those big movies? [17:49] am now so love my ubuntu, am need remove my windows xp, any body can help me for make me full migration [17:49] Darael: whats the differente between normal and alternate [17:49] cmol: what Abhijit said [17:49] :) [17:49] Abhijit, can you give me some tutor [17:49] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: Because newbs won't have a CLUE what to do with it. That's why "What's a grub?" "Sounds like a worm, I DON'T WANT VIRUSES!!!" [17:49] dajhorn: for the record, editing sources.list to use the us.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com location rather than security.ubuntu.com for security updates works well. [17:49] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: Get over it and move on. [17:49] got_grubed: grub-install /dev/sdX where X is the drive you want [17:50] cmol: you can use fdisk [17:50] [TK]D-Fender: wtf? [17:50] if you're familiar with it [17:50] got_grubed: Alternate uses a curses-based (text-mode) installer, not a live environment, and gives a lot more options for how to do the install. [17:50] cmol: or the partition editor [17:50] please give me some tutor [17:50] cmol, open gparted - *be sure * to locate only window spartition unmoutn it select delte. enjoy your freedom! [17:50] bluenemo_: What's your processor speed? [17:50] cmol, dont use fdisk or something [17:50] cmol, only use gparted [17:50] ? [17:50] its gui tool very easy dont go to mess with fdisk at this stage [17:50] jfaoiejjafj, well idk about 2ghz dualcore or so, nothing special [17:50] whare the best way? [17:51] its not best way. its easy way. [17:51] but i'm shure its because decompressing is so nasty.. [17:51] cmol, from system->administratioon open gparted [17:51] bluenemo_: You could try VLC, that uses GPU for decoding now I believe [17:51] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: Stop complaining about the aprt you don't like. Ubuntu assimes grub, that is how it is built. These aren't "options". You can cheap (up to a poitn) but will have to do some of it manually. [17:51] bluenemo_: usually a lot smoother than totem [17:51] [TK]D-Fender: k ill use virtualbox [17:51] is GRUB faulty [17:51] oke Abhijit, am will follow you step [17:51] ah ok that is very interesting, i'll try that (vlc and gpu) [17:51] ! grub [17:51] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [17:51] Please, where I can learn something about grub? [17:52] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: these are the circumstances you have to deal with. If you don't like them, then you can always install some otehr distro that is more cooperative to your special requirements [17:52] Someone just answered. Thanks. [17:52] fbsrosa, on their website [17:52] hei hei, Abhijit am not have gparted ? whare it's [17:52] @Abhijit: I'm really just curious here: so will gparted automatically partition the empty space as unix extension? [17:52] [TK]D-Fender: you are pissing me off because in 10.04 LIVE installer there is an option to choose where to install the bootloader! stop saying bs [17:52] What kind of backup methods are you guys using to roll your system back after lets say an update fubar's your system, etc? I was thinking something like back in time or Déjà Dup [17:52] hey ubuntu users! =D I have a server with no soundcard but i want to use the snd-dummy module (for some alsa audio pipes). But "modprobe soundcore" returns "could not find module" .. is it possible I don't have the alsa drivers repository ? [17:52] cmol, oh you dont have it. install it by doiing sudo apt-get install gparted [17:52] <[TK]D-Fender> got_grubed: And in what other release? [17:52] Hello everyone. In mplayer, how do I convert a .mov file to a TARGA .tga images? [17:52] em... oke... [17:52] NathanG, nope;. its just easy gui thingy for new comers. [17:52] * got_grubed ignores [TK]D-Fender [17:52] <[TK]D-Fender> \o/ [17:52] right! :) [17:52] idiot [17:53] Abhijit, need wait, couse am still upgrade my robot the love ubuntu 10.10 :) xD am will call back u. [17:53] got_grubed: we dont need that here [17:53] is there anybody?? [17:53] hello [17:53] cmol, hmm [17:53] iceroot: yes kick [TK]D-Fender .. [17:53] i'm a new comer [17:54] got_grubed: That isn't likely to happen. He is a helpful regular here. [17:54] i am facing probs with dual boot win 7 and ubuntu [17:54] semi-unrelated to ubuntu....can a dvd+r be formatted after it's been partially written? or only RW? [17:54] Gibss37: what's up? [17:54] Does anyone knows how to convert a .mov file to a .tga series of images in mplayer? [17:54] hi shinbuntu do you have ubuntu question? [17:54] cananybody provide me help on javacc [17:54] <[TK]D-Fender> iceroot: Feelin' the love.. yes I am. No good deed goes unpunished. theungrateful++ [17:54] :-o [17:54] theperfecttaco: only rw [17:54] abhijain, O_o [17:55] NathanG: I today installed ubuntu dual boot with windows 7, but when i booted windows 7, and used recovery, on restart a blank screen appeared with " No module found and No Operating system found" [17:55] Hi anybody know what the best way to install drupal on ubuntu? [17:55] iceroot: piss. thanks. [17:55] noob645: use drush [17:55] !lamp [17:55] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [17:55] noob645: its simplest [17:55] noob645: It's in the repos, but I find it better to just install from the tarball. [17:55] when will canonical servers will be repaired!!!!!!!!!! [17:55] help!!!!!!!!!! [17:55] noob645, you'll need LAMP enviroment first to instal drupal on (the web CMS just to be sure) [17:55] tonyyarusso: tarballs have avery big disadvantage. no security updates [17:55] Abhijit, can you provide me help on javacc [17:56] Abhijit: Whats the problem? [17:56] gibss37: both OS on same physical disc? [17:56] anyone using the ati proprietary drivers? Have they gotten any better in the past 6 months?> [17:56] Abhijit, searcing online community for javacc [17:56] Pici, servers are down/off. i want to install sun java [17:56] Abhijit, i will used virtual box for run my windows xp, for test some app, any ide? [17:56] gibss37: grub.conf edited accordingly? [17:56] abhijain, details? [17:56] MACscr, if you mean [17:56] Abhijit: Which server? [17:56] NathanG: yes same physical but different partitions [17:56] iceroot: In the case of Drupal, which is in universe, not main, you are less likely to get a security update from the repos. (And the software tells you when one is available) [17:56] Pici, archieve.canonical.com [17:56] the lagging issue with compiz. that's fine now. i'm using them and am happy. ati 4850 [17:56] cmol, any what? [17:56] got_grubed, check this tutorial http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ [17:57] i think grub is faulty [17:57] xtrac: you may use ls and pipe it through a2x to create html from its output [17:57] I was wondering that... [17:57] Abhijit: Thats not a valid server name. How are you trying to install java? [17:57] I haven't tried it with Win7 [17:57] noob645: Additionally, I like to keep my sites directory separate and just symlink it, so there's less work to do when upgrading between drupal versions and permissions can be set differently, etc. [17:57] Abhijit, want to create parser on javacc . javac is a compiler for compiler [17:57] smerz: sweet thats the card i have. Im currently using the open source drivers, but want a little better 3d support. Hope they work correctly with my dual monitors though [17:57] i think im going to create an image before i try them [17:57] Gibss37: is recovery equivalent to "Safe mode"? [17:58] Pici, oh i now its not its just i typed it manualy here. i am juust telling you whichj server is that. i have its proper name in my system. i try to install by command apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [17:58] MACscr, dunno about dual monitors [17:58] noob645, iceroot: You can also install the Nagios Monitoring plugin for Drupal, set up Nagios, and get an e-mail and/or SMS alert when security updates are available. [17:58] abhijain, no idea try #java [17:58] These last two updates have destroyed my CD, DVD and MP-250 printer/scanner usage and filled my disc to the point of not being able to work (aka pay the bills). Can some please advise how to undo the damage? === fernando is now known as Guest71168 [17:58] Abhijit, am need test some network tool like putty, couse if am used ssh on linux am not so understand, and i will install virtual box for run my windows [17:58] Abhijit: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [17:58] MACscr, but I'm playing quakelive without fps drops [17:58] quadcore 2,5ghz cpu [17:58] NathanG: no, its like recovering data on a partition using a software [17:58] Pici, lucid. i enabled parterner already [17:59] Gibss37: Ah, gotcha. Did you install Win7 first or Ubuntu first on that drive? [17:59] cmol, so what is the qestioon? [17:59] on linux, ssh i only can used 1 id, and can't more id (i have test on fonera.20n) [17:59] OK thanks [17:59] is lamp or xampp better? [17:59] yeah I have a problem with tarballs too. I don't know how to uninstall them if I mess up the install. [17:59] with the repos you can just remove from the package manager. [17:59] noob645: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:59] Abhijit: It seems to be working for me, but it is awfully slow. [17:59] Abhijit, on linux, ssh i only can used 1 id, and can't more id (i have test on fonera.20n) [17:59] Win 7 [17:59] Abhijit: If the repos are down, you can always install Java from the installer at the Oracle website [17:59] Pici, and it is not working here at all. connectin time out [17:59] is there something wrong with unetbootin??? [17:59] jfaoiejjafj, ok [17:59] Gibss37: That would be the way to do it... [18:00] cmol, which is your language? === kn100 is now known as Guest26497 [18:00] noob645: i think you understanding of what lamp is, is obscured [18:00] Gibss37: tell me more about recovery--is it a built in windows program? [18:00] Hello! [18:00] NathanG: yes it is [18:00] fr00d: hello! [18:00] anyone ever use the program Nasty in the repos? I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to use it. [18:00] cmol, putty works with wine, no need for virtual box. I used to flash fonera in the past :) [18:00] indonesia, but have problem on indonesia chanel, no body on thare, am love on this chanel [18:01] :) you used fonera Artemis3 am love it [18:01] Gibss37: do you select it from the grub menu at boot time, or how is it accessed? [18:01] it just formats the already present data on windows partition and restore a backup data there [18:01] can you share some tutorial for me, Artemis3 [18:01] I see... [18:01] cmol, i cant understand what you want. sorry i cant help. [18:01] every time i use unetbootin to load a iso on to my thumb drive it will not load all the way it says something about tty is disabled.... [18:01] cmol, older fonera was different to flash [18:01] I'm trying to get vdpau with mplayer work again with 10.10. I just installed a virgin OS on my media center because I had a hdd crash. But all I get is: Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 23. Can somebody tell me what's going wrong? [18:01] !lamp | noob645 [18:01] noob645: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [18:02] Abhijit: I'll forward my findings on to Canonical, and see if they can take a look at it. [18:02] Nvidia driver currently installed is nvidia-current: 260.19.06-0ubuntu1 [18:02] Pici, sure. thanks. [18:02] am used Fonera 2.0n what you used Artemis3 [18:02] You just have to keep pressing F8 whi;e booting and a menu loads up [18:02] cmol, it was like 3 years ago ;) [18:02] :( [18:02] gibss37: ahh [18:02] cmol, the device now has dd-wrt [18:03] Pici, now it is accesing that repo but as you said its very very slow [18:03] 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 [18:03] anyone in here have any experience using curl from the command line? [18:03] but it is working now Pici [18:03] Gibss37: that makes me think it has something to do with how you've configured grub.conf [18:03] Does anyone knows how to convert a .mov file to a .tga series of images in mplayer? [18:03] can you give me some experience [18:03] when i click on a link to jpg file in firefox it keeps trying to open it in a seperate program (instead of opening in a new firefox tab) [18:03] Artemis3, can you give me some experience [18:03] cmol, let me check [18:03] how do you configure it manually [18:03] what you want check? Artemis3 [18:04] I have read on few forums that recovery soft deletes MBR and creates new every time [18:04] Licuadora: i think that mencoder or ffmpeg could convert to image files.. but not sure about thembeing 'tga' [18:04] bye [18:04] Gibss37: you'll have to boot to ubuntu, then use a text editor to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf file [18:04] I have a Terminal Window problem. Can someone help? [18:05] Licuadora: VLC can do this also. I suggest carefully reading the documentation on their respective websites. [18:05] I am on it [18:05] Gibss37: Wow... recovery deletes MBR? [18:05] cmol, i see fon changed atheros with ralink... cant see procedure yet; http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#FON [18:05] Darael: works ok here on flash player square [18:05] kurtk: tell the channel the problem in more detail. [18:05] Licuadora: if no one here knows the answer, you might try #mplayer here on freenode [18:05] He Dr_willis. The letter 'p' doesn't work. It acts like Paste. [18:05] :( my fonera 2.0n not support it:( [18:05] NathanG: read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1343851 [18:05] Does anyone know why Ubuntu + mkv seems to almost always result in "Video playback does not work. At all"? [18:05] cmol, mine was fonera 2200 [18:06] Gibss37: that could very well be the problem: if recovery deletes MBR, there's a conflict, because GRUB installs itself over the MBR in the first place when you install linux [18:06] hello can any one tell me how to do port forwarding in ubuntu? [18:06] Jonii: mkv is a container [18:06] Jonii: Never had a problem. Presuming you've installed all codecs? [18:06] Jonii, I use VLC [18:06] Jonii: works for me in vlc [18:06] hwilde, that was my first attempt [18:06] georgie_b, are you using ubuntu as a router? [18:06] georgie_b: port forwarding happens at the router [18:06] NathanG: so any solution [18:06] georgie_b: 'man iptables' read the part about the 'nat' table, the PREROUTING chain, and the DNAT target [18:06] well i'm behind the modem [18:06] Ubuntu-version of VLC doesn't work. I'm thinking if I should try using wine to use Media Player Classic from windows [18:07] Jonii: what about amarok? [18:07] Gibss37:have you looked at the GAG bootloader? [18:07] Jonii: Of course one of the first things I do on an install is add medibuntu and restricted formats [18:07] NathanG: nopes [18:07] As of this morning, whenever I open a Terminal Window, the letter 'p' no longer works. I don't know what I did. It is acting like Paste. I tried reinstall gnome-terminal and gnome-terminal-data. To no avail. [18:07] you'll probably have to do something different than the standard GRUB that comes with UBUNTU [18:07] Jonii: vlc works just fine on ubuntu [18:08] so any good bootloader [18:08] I'm not saying mkv _totally_ fails. Like, I can usually see about one minute worth of the video, even though it's usually choppy and may crash vlc [18:08] Artemis3, am used fonera with fcc NDD9564250816 can't run dd-wrt vertion just run with fonera vertion :( [18:08] Is there somebody who can give me a hint for the mplayer vdpau problem after reinstalling ubuntu? [18:08] Jonii: it's likely a codec issue not a container issue [18:08] fr00d: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line) [18:08] Gibss37: it seems to me after this talk that since both GRUB and the win7 bootloader are doing something to the MBR, the system has no clue what's going on [18:08] how to run vlc on ubuntu? [18:08] Gibss37: I would check out that GAG bootloader [18:08] It's just that, it's very rare that anything works behind that point. The default media player Ubuntu comes with usually crashes after some 2-10 seconds of vide playback [18:09] !software | striker [18:09] striker: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [18:09] Jonii: sounds like your cpu is having issues with the codecs. [18:09] hi. i just got home from work, booted my ubuntu 10.10 machine and BAM, no theme anymore! the windows look like crap, kind of reminds me of the old unix servers we had at colleague! [18:09] NathanG: yeah please do, i am waiting , as if i rebooted the system, it gonna crash again [18:09] Gibss37: I have no experience with GAG, but one guy on that thread seemed to get it to work [18:09] Anyone using ubuntu 10.10, what is the latest kernel in use at the moment, I included some ppa (Kamal-backlight ppa) to fix some brightness issue, that was almost a month ago and save for the kernels in this ppa, I still have the non-ppa kernel [2.6.35.23-egeneric], is it that the kernel team is not releasing anymore kernel or kamal's ppa kinda disabled updates from the previous kernel team? [18:09] cmol, i suggest you get device from http://www.open-mesh.com/ much cheaper and better project than fonera will ever be. [18:09] I'm trying to use vdpau and getting "Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 23". How can I solve this problem? [18:09] nmvictor, i got 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux [18:09] Jeruvy, booting to windows and using VLC, or Media Player Classic, or Windows Media Player, or just about any media player I can find, all these files play flawlessly [18:10] nmvictor: you can lookup official packages at packages.ubuntu.com [18:10] Dajhorn: thanks for the tip! So adding the line to /etc/fstab overrides gnome helper. Does the automatic mounting still work with disks? [18:10] to find out what the latest release version of a package (like kernel) is [18:10] Gibss37: check this out: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/WindowsErasesGrub [18:10] Jonii: Tried MPlayer?

[18:11] Gibss37: once you get grub configured properly with win7, I think you'll be ok [18:11] Jonii: No, default is Totem [18:11] Why would the letter 'p' suddenly not work in a Terminal Window? [18:11] well there you go, nmvictor [18:11] Oh [18:11] magnus_: photerran : wow! Why cant it show up in the update manager, or anyway I could make it show, I have been updating packages since and I have even see 2.6.35.24-generic [18:11] NathanG: yeah i'm a lot..........i have installed ubuntu 5 times [18:11] jonii, so? Obviously that isn't having issues. :) My dual boot machine plays on both fine. [18:11] i want to connect to the computer within a lan which is connected to internet thru modem(ustarcom ut300r2u) with a dynamic ip [18:11] I think I have, but on an earlier Ubuntu version [18:11] photerran, you can also say like !info package lucid [18:12] Artemis3, what for http://www.open-mesh.com/ [18:12] Gibss37: geez...then win7 keeps doing the same thing to the system.... [18:12] tried most methods from google search none seemed to work [18:12] dajhorn: thanks for the tip! So adding the line to /etc/fstab overrides gnome helper. Does the automatic mounting still work with disks? [18:12] i've disabled even the firewall [18:12] Gibss37: from the link above: Grub default installation consist on installing what we call stage1 in the MBR. After that after the MBR and before the first partition beginning the stage1_5 is written. This stage1_5 conflicts with some Windows policies that want in this space their own data. You can however bypass this problem by linking stage1 to stage2, which it is not located in this problematic area. [18:13] georgie_b: connect how? ssh? [18:13] nmvictor: you could try editing your /etc/apt/sources.list (or the files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d) and comment out the PPA that's overriding your kernel, then run 'apt-get update' [18:13] photerran: thanks, trying ... [18:13] gibss37: that's from here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/WindowsErasesGrub [18:14] Hi, on my Ubuntu 10.10 laptop, I have an Intel 965GM IGP. The laptop's built-in LVDS is 1024x768. Attached to the VGA port I have a 1680x1050 monitor. I've turned them both on with the Monitors app (xrandr 1.2) and set them to spanning mode, so they are not clones of one another. Only problem is there seems to be a large gap in the virtual desktop above the laptop's LCD, where I can move my mouse but there are no windows and I can't see that space. [18:14] Can I convince the X server to eliminate that space and clip my mouse only to visible areas? [18:14] NathanG: so bypassing [18:14] ne thing.. telnet..ftp.. i've even the lampp running.. if i type my lan ip it connects but if i type the ip from what ismyip.com it doesnot [18:14] it goes to the router config page [18:14] configure the router for port forwarding [18:14] Gibss37: sounds like it, yeah [18:14] georgie_b, typically you cannot test from inside the network going out and coming back in [18:15] NathanG: there's an easy sol. also [18:15] different discs? :) [18:15] @hwilde:what if i use a virtual machine? [18:16] any body, please help, am need chenge my password for my ubuntu [18:16] georgie_b: then you need a port forward [18:16] georgie_b, no it's a network routing issue. [18:16] you need to go to starbucks or somewhere outside yournetwork then try to get in [18:16] cmol: run: passwd and change it [18:16] am have try but can't fine it :(, please some tutor with commant on terminal [18:16] cmol: passwd command [18:16] ActionParsnip, pleast step by step please am newbee [18:16] I'm getting an "Install these packages without verification [y/N]?" error whenever I try to install openjdk-6-jdk. As a result of that, java doesn't work properly. This is a fresh install of 10.10, any clues on how to fix this?

[18:17] kyentei: You are telling it 'yes' ? [18:17] Dr_Willis: Sure I am. [18:17] tried many methods for port forwardin on my router but seems like its a very old model nd firmware has to be upgraded which is risky.. so looking for any software solutions [18:17] ys, jfaoiejjafj on my cantry google so hard for open xD [18:17] Dr_Willis: It's the original ubuntu repos so I don't care why it breaks, I want this fixed first. [18:17] kyentei: it asking that Q. shouldent make java not work. does java --version even work? [18:18] yes syrinx_ === Guest69186 is now known as m5k8 [18:18] Dr_Willis: I'll re-install openjdk-6-jdk for you. [18:18] yes syrinx_ what you mean giyf? [18:18] kyentei: the without verificatoon bit. is proberly due to a bad/missing gpg key i think. [18:18] cmol: google is your friend [18:18] cmol: did you run the command in terminal? [18:18] kyentei: not sure why it would suddendly go bad/missing however. Theres also the sun java you could use [18:18] Dr_Willis: I know that, I should've fixed the error. It's a bug that occurs more often. [18:19] Dr_Willis: But apparently it did not work [18:19] any here having bsnl has their ISP?.. [18:19] Well, MPlayer doesn't play other parts of split mkv file, but unlike VLC and Totem, MPlayer doesn't crash as soon as this part where you're supposed to switch source file comes [18:19] ys syrinx_, but hard for open it, may be my ISP not allow it for open, couse only facebook and mirc allow [18:19] am have upgrade doing [18:19] Dr_Willis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1588063 [18:20] I guess I still need to use Windows to watch media files [18:20] quit [18:20] Dr_Willis: That is exactly what happened (again) in this fresh install. But my last post has the fix to for it.. [18:20] Jonii: I agree it sounds like a codec issue...have you looked at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [18:20] ActionParsnip, am need wait, until my upgrade finish, :) am will try you step ActionParsnip [18:20] Dr_Willis: Also, security.ubuntu.com is being terribly slow for me. [18:20] Jonii, I have never found a media file that I could not play. [18:20] cmol: cool, it really is that simple, one word ;) [18:20] well how to do port forwarding in a router? [18:21] ;0 [18:21] Thnks ActionParsnip [18:21] georgie_b: log into the router, look for the option to set port forwarding, ????, profit [18:21] georgie_b, you go to the router webpage and you setup port forwarding. but it doesn't matter if you are testing from inside the network. you need to generate an outside connection to that router to get port forwarded. [18:21] georgie_b: portforward.com [18:22] hwilde georgie_b you can just ask a friend to try to connect, maybe set up a quick apache server to test it [18:22] Can anyone tell me how i see which winetricks components i have already installed? [18:23] well portforward .com has info only on popular applications.. i've written a java chat program which works well within the lan but gives connection error if tried on over the internet [18:24] georgie_b, this is the last time I will tell you that it will not work if you are testing from inside your network [18:24] georgie_b: your not listening, log into the router, and configure the port to be forwarded. port 80 might be blocked by your isp, if it is, change the port [18:24] randomusername: try sudo apt-cache policy [18:24] anyone familiar with netbooting/preseeding? trying to automatically partition a vm and it keeps kicking back to the prompt. the partition script is https://gist.github.com/849593 and there are no errors on console 4.

[18:26] allquixotic: I thought that was a xinerama thing but I see people having problems with that also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1773624 [18:26] photerran: sounded like a frustrated exclamation :) [18:26] kyentei: i recall some people having server issues this weekend. but i never heard mich about it lately [18:26] fidyduce: try openbox --replace [18:26] photerran: i am sorry but it was both i am highly irritated... excuse me [18:26] just trying to lighten the mood, no worries [18:26] Dr_Willis: May I send you the output of java --version in a /msg? [18:26] georgie_b: what port are you using? [18:27] I am having a problem with my usb drive (or with ubuntu) when I copy files to the usb drive in ubuntu, then put the usb drive into a windows machine the files arent there(they arent even there when I put it back into the ubuntu machine) but when i use windows to copy files to the usb stick then I can see them [18:27] sacarlson: I'm not using Xinerama, though. [18:27] 6666 [18:27] kyentei: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [18:27] fidyduce: if it is installed there may be an option for it on a menu on your login screen [18:27] fidyduce, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103806 [18:27] MonkeyDust: It's three lines of code..

[18:27] when I copy the files to my usb stick in ubuntu it seems like it works but when i unplug the stick then plug it back in the files arent there [18:27] this only happens in ubuntu [18:27] xtrac, did you format it for fat32 ? [18:27] georgie_b: are you forwarding it to the right *local* ip? [18:27] the usb stick wroks fine with windows [18:27] allquixotic: yes I saw that and xinerama was suposed to be deprecated but seems I have seen examples of it working with some work [18:28] xtrac: are you unmounting it before you unplug it? [18:28] no [18:28] Artemis3, http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database < check it> can my fonera 2.0n develop [18:28] got ip from sudo ifconfig eth0 [18:28] that'd be why then [18:28] it used to work [18:28] it used to work fine with ubuntu [18:28] Very well then. Dr_Willis, MonkeyDust: http://paste.ubuntu.com/574058/ [18:28] you used to be luckier. it never "worked", the idea is to cache writes - especially on flash - to avoid doing a ton of tiny individual writes and prematurely aging the chip [18:28] ubuntu can read all the files on it [18:29] and it tries to copy files to it and even looks like it did [18:29] but once i plug it in somewhere else [18:29] the files arent there [18:29] xtrac, did you format it for fat32 ? [18:29] i dont get it [18:29] so in the past, it wrote the cache out faster and the files were finished writing when you unplugged it. [18:29] allquixotic: but I also seem to see that your spanning problem is only talked about with ati so maybe that works also but just not with your hardware? [18:29] !enter | xtrac [18:29] xtrac: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [18:29] I dont think I did (I might of) [18:29] xtrac, format it for fat32 then try again. [18:29] how can i check [18:29] k [18:30] cmol, supported yes. [18:30] xtrac, also obviously make sure you unmount it (or eject it) so that the writing can finish before ripping it out of the computer.

[21:22] Why can't I write to a mounted device if owner is me and permissions are u=rwx? [21:22] I have alsa [21:22] the thing is i think i must have changed some settings or something [21:23] because It worked, the sound worked and than.. suddenly.. not anymore [21:23] !alsa [21:23] If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

I have Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS, Compiz Check said I was blacklisted and Compiz may not work, but I continued to see if it would. It obviously does not work, but now my Window Headers do not appear unless I run Compiz I un-installled it and they do not appear on my Windows. So I had to re-install it to get them working, how can I get [21:24] them back without using Compiz? [21:24] psusi: I mean when booting the actual installed system. [21:25] Hi everyone. I'm running 10.10 inside VirtualBox. After the latest round of updates, my Ubuntu will no longer go fullscreen. [21:25] Anyone have a clue what to do? I'd rather not re-install my system.. [21:25] ubottu: [21:26] there is a problem with the sound only with this page: www.babbel.com [21:26] everything else works and plays [21:26] Guess not...oh well I'll just re-install my OS then. [21:27] MarkB: wait [21:27] I've got maverick trying to mount ntfs partitions in live mode. Is there a boot option i can give it to tell it not to? [21:27] MarkB: you have to tell xfce to use the original window manager of xfce--> xfwm4 [21:27] MarkB: run « xfwm4 --replace » ? [21:27] MarkB: ahh, someone beat me to it [21:27] So I can now safely un-install Compiz? [21:28] And my Window Headers will still be there. [21:28] MarkB, i have the same card works fine ! [21:28] You do? 512 MB PCI? [21:29] hello, ubuntu won't load cd/dvds after loading other, when i eject the first one it still says is inside, this doesn't happen if i click eject. any help?

[21:30] pinchi: it appears that Babbel uses flash [21:31] anyone here with the Asus P8P67 LE? [21:31] pinchi: perhaps it's a flash issue (though you can play youtube vids fine) [21:31] yesy.. [21:31] perhaps [21:31] could be.. [21:31] an option [21:31] MarkB: did you do the « xfwm4 --replace » ? [21:31] erUSUL: Yes sir. [21:32] MarkB: i really dunno for sure never used xfce. maybe in #xubuntu you can confirm [21:32] MarkB: in gnome that would work [21:32] ThinkT510 - should I re-install flash again? [21:32] Hello? [21:33] any help with my problem, please [21:33] My laptop on Ubuntu 11.04 seems to have problems connecting to Wi-Fi hotspots. [21:33] pinchi: you could try, on't know if it will work (cos you got sound on youtube vids right?) [21:33] yes [21:33] I really cannot understand this issue - like really. [21:33] gazap-on: Perhaps I might be able to help, could you repeat your question? [21:34] Okay, thank you erUSUL I guess I will check with Xubuntu chat. [21:34] hi [21:34] MarkB: no problem [21:34] ThinkT510 It is weird [21:34] while calling skype , at other end , it echoes a lot, how to curb that. [21:35] ThinkT510 I tried to check my sound preferences and so on.. but.. nothing mathes [21:35] matches [21:35] that could cause a possible problem [21:35] javahorn: use head phones? [21:35] pinchi: just checked quickly but it appears there is no mute option in the flash menu (right click settings) [21:35] ChogyDan: that is not an option [21:35] ChogyDan: any other good suggestion, is it normal and common? [21:35] when i put a cd/dvd into my cd/dvd drive, it loads well, but when i eject the cd with the eject button and put another, it won't load because the cd drive on ubuntu says that the first cs is still on the drive [21:36] ThinkT510 I am kind-of LEFT to those stuff - can you tell from the beginning? :) [21:36] Problem: choppy / stuttering / delayed sound with native AMD64 TeamSpeak 3 client (and using Wine) @ Ubuntu 10.10; using PulseAudio; gnome-sound-recorder works fine [21:36] javahorn: yeah, if it is reverb, then yeah. It is just sound playing out of the speakers and then playing back into the mic [21:36] pinchi: wish i could help more but i'm out of ideas [21:36] if i do this with the eject click it works, so i think is not a problem of the drive, but a configuration problem [21:36] gazap-on: you mean the "eject button" on the DVD/CD player itself? [21:36] ThinkT510 I even wrote to the web page crew and they couldn't help me.. [21:36] ChogyDan: so how to overcome? [21:36] yes [21:37] It is shitty. Would love to study Portuguese [21:37] ThinkT510 But thank you again - ! [21:37] javahorn: why are headphones not an option? [21:37] pinchi: np, glad to try [21:37] gazap-on: I had that problem, and removing it from the fstab fixed it, now pcmanfm just finds it [21:37] as i donot have it right now and that limits freedom! [21:37] gazap-on: does it happen if you use the "safe eject" option via the menu(s) [21:38] no [21:38] it doesn't [21:38] javahorn: well, maybe you could set up walls with books or something to block the speakers from playing into the mic [21:38] gnome questios [21:39] ChogyDan: microphone mute does not allow to hear at other end [21:40] gazap-on: Don't know why it happens (I suspect that the hardware is just NOT updating the software), but the same thing happens on my system, so I have learned NOT to use the eject button unless I HAVE to. [21:40] lastlog localhost [21:40] Hello, does anyone know why in 10.10 I am only allowed to select one minute or less for dimming the display in power management?

[21:42] ohh, if you fix it someday let me now ok [21:42] Good day everyone. Could someone ask a bot to give me some links about starting jobs at system startup? [21:42] gazap-on: I suspect that the dvd/c, the way it is using the menusds is not UNmounted by pushing the eject button [21:42] !startup | Xeon06 [21:42] Xeon06: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

[21:45] gazap-on: It was never enough of a problem for me to worry about finding an answer or even if it was a "problem" or just normal behavior [21:45] MarkB: so after you run "xfwm4 --replace" the titles come back, but after you restart they dissapear again? [21:45] ThinkT510: Yes sir.

You will just have to either turn down the sound or try to block the sound from your mic [21:59] Think:: Are you still here?

If true HW raid is not an option, use software raid (mdadm and friends). As for your question, please explain what you mean with "creating a mirror". [22:04] sardonyx: you can do a raid mirror and retain the data on drive 0. There are good tutorials on line to do so, I remember reading one in the book Knoppix Hacks [22:04] yup [22:04] I might have to just not use those anymore [22:04] zombie_: i think it was just half an hour [22:04] sardonyx: Also relevant, which drives do you want to retain data on, which drives do you want to mirror? [22:04] I have a CFW ps3 with SNES9 and FBAN so I could do without the zsnes [22:05] ThinkT510:: I'm fast ehh.. lol [22:05] MacGyverNL, yeah i'm looking at software raid because it seems the motherboard I have has fakeraid ie Intel storage matrix ESB2....i have two drives, one has existing data, the other one is blank, i'd like to setup a raid 1 mirror between them and retain all the data on the original drive [22:05] zombie_: time flys when you're having fun :) [22:06] sardonyx: yeah, totally doable [22:06] lol [22:06] hey guys, ive just installed ubuntu server on vmware, i can ping local ips but i get "connect: Network is unreachable" when i try to ping google.com.. anyone know what the problem can be?

[22:06] i can nslookup google.com fine as well [22:06] zombie_: what do you use in wine (might be overkill but you could try virtualbox and a windows vm as an alternative) [22:07] raido, i'm currently looking at this https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_setup however it doesnt say if data is already there it can be retained [22:07] drag0nz: sounds like no/bad default gateway [22:07] ThinkT510:: Do you think maybe the updates for ubuntu 10.10 could be messing with me? [22:07] http://www.mepis.org/docs/en/index.php?title=Software_RAID_mirror <-- This might do, though may need adaptation to ubuntu. [22:07] Pumpkin-, its set correctly. ill triple check it again now [22:07] I've tried VBox and it doesn't boot or work for that matter [22:07] Hello, does anyone know why in 10.10 I am only allowed to select one minute or less for dimming the display in power management? [22:07] I just wanted windows emulator for Mame Plus Plus or 32 but screw it I hacked my ps3 it play mame roms now [22:08] plays* [22:08] zombie_: not sure what you mean by the updates messing with you? [22:08] sardonyx: see hack 77 here http://tinyurl.com/5tbkr2m [22:09] sardonyx: But, as per usual when doing this kind of thing, I wouldn't attempt it if I didn't have a backup of my data. [22:09] Well.. I've read in forums that the Ubuntu updates messed up there OS in ways of making it "unstable' [22:09] raido, MacGyverNL thanks guys for the help [22:09] MacGyverNL, oh yeah, I p2v'd the box just in case.... [22:09] sardonyx: np [22:09] and software crashing to the log in screen =Unstable right? [22:09] zombie_: sounds rather vague [22:09] zombie_: if you really believe this then dont update ;) [22:09] Yw. [22:09] i need help with IW [22:10] I'm going to test my theory and I'm updating only and seeing if it does mess things up [22:10] I have a video I'd like to crop. I want everything outside of a selected range to be cropped off and unseen. Is there any way to do this, particularly in openshot? [22:10] what tool to timecode exact playout to dvcam? [22:10] how easy may it be to have ubuntu auto login into given user (start X session) without asking for password? some real user. [22:11] zombie_: updates have always been rock solid for me, not sure what happened when you manually installed the new X last time but it must have messed something up [22:11] anyone uses mac80211 [22:11] I think thats probably what happened [22:12] ThinkT510:: If I get a new pc what dual core pc is the best for linux ubuntu? [22:13] I'd stick with 32-bit... [22:13] zombie_: i've always been a laptop guy myself, thinkpads have always worked great with ubuntu [22:13] * YankDownUnder loves Lenovo's [22:13] when i went to install inkscape it says there are untrusted packages. why would there be untrusted packages? [22:14] python-reportlab python-uniconvertor python-lxml python-renderpm libwmf-bin python-reportlab-accel [22:14] * mongy had dells and always just 'worked' [22:14] thinkspads hmm, I'm more into desktops, hmmp [22:14] it says those are all untrusted packages [22:14] "Untrusted" doesn't necessarily mean bad. [22:14] YankDownUnder: Mee too Ive had 4 over the years. Theyre the best [22:14] YankDownUnder: what does it mean then? [22:14] em, is this in ubuntu software centre? [22:14] it's aptitude [22:14] em, ok, and not apt-get ? [22:14] No I use aptitude. [22:14] mongy: this is the ubuntu support channel [22:15] Because it is better. [22:15] does anyone know of a way to turn .mp3 to text in Ubuntu? [22:15] emanuele, tried apt-get? [22:15] oops [22:15] ThinkT510, and I am giving support.. you point ? [22:15] mongy: sorry, misread what you said [22:15] What video editor in Linux allows me to crop video? [22:15] apollo: you mean change the file extension, or also convert? [22:16] aptitude is a valid way to install software on Ubuntu systems. [22:16] Roasted, pitivi and cinelerra [22:16] convert [22:16] If untrusted does not mean bad then what does it mean? [22:16] lan amına koduklarım bise anlamıyosunuz deilmi [22:16] anyone have any experience swapping drives in ubuntu? I want to swap my sata drive with a smaller ssd [22:16] YankDownUnder, really? I cant seem to find out where to do it in pitivi. Do you know how by chance? [22:16] em, I just haeard a lot of people saying problems with untrusted sources while using USC, and going into software sources, authentication and 'restore defaults' fixed it. thats all [22:16] i want to clone my drive onto the new drive [22:16] Roasted, nah - I prefer cinelerra mate. [22:16] how can i install Xmms2 to ubuntu10 [22:16] troyounces, dd is yer friend [22:17] apollo: since a .txt is not a music format, all you have to do is right click then rename Change the last letters from mp3 to txt [22:17] YankDownUnder: can I copy over the contents from a 250G drive to a 120G and just plug in the ssd? [22:17] keke, same as any other app... but good luck finding a decent gui for it [22:17] em: step 1 whe this happens is sudo aptitude update, since that issue is sometimes caused by incomplete package list updates. If that doesn't help, compare apt-key list to the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and see if you're missing keys for some repositories. [22:17] em: ("sudo apt-key list" being a command) [22:17] im looking to turn an .mp3 dictation into a text transcript... [22:17] troyounces, If you want to do it the better way, resize the 250gb's partition, then do the dd to the new drive. [22:17] troyounces: I have had good experience with Clonezilla too. [22:17] ty mongy but im new at ubuntu i download the tar.bz2 file and extract the folder [22:18] YankDownUnder, that gizmo isnt in software center? [22:18] but i cant find install.sh [22:18] keke, stick to the repo's [22:18] YankDownUnder: how do i resize a partition? [22:18] keke, apt-get install xmm2 [22:18] without sudo ? [22:18] !mp3 | apollo [22:18] apollo: 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 [22:18] YankDownUnder: also can I do this with a live system, or do I have to boot up with a live cd? [22:19] keke, well , I assumed :[ [22:19] em: "apt-cache policy packagenamehere" on the untrusted packages may also help, since it'll show you which repository it's pulling from. but yeah, I'd check sudo aptitude update first. [22:19] keke, no, WITH sudo [22:19] apollo: im not sure how to get transcript [22:19] keke, you can never use without sudo because you are not root, if you are, bad bad you [22:20] Ok, THX. [22:20] hi all [22:20] hi demoss [22:20] how do I view all workspaces at once? [22:20] do u know any good tutorials for teaching ubuntu from basic to upper levels [22:20] emm [22:21] i starting from ubuntu noob tutorials [22:21] !manual | keke [22:21] keke: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [22:21] Hi all, whats the difference between Latest and LTS in terms of updates and fixes? [22:21] ever since I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10, whenever I would shut my laptop lid or suspend my computer, it would shut down. not really convenient for sckool and stuff. Is there a way to fix this? [22:21] can I clone a drive using dd while booted into the system? or do i have to do it using a live cd? [22:21] ok ty lets look there [22:21] them install debian and starting collect information how i can UP web servers [22:21] them learn KVM [22:22] i use google ) [22:22] Does LTS mean you will be able to get paid support in the long term? [22:22] !lts [22:22] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [22:22] mod: you can pay home or office support to canonical [22:22] mod: LTS is supported for three years on desktop and five on server. Non-LTS is eighteen months for both. LTS also gets point releases with update rollups, so you don't have to download all the updates on new installs. [22:22] hello :) [22:22] school* [22:23] rww, ah ok so eventually LTS and Lates come back into sync [22:23] ? [22:23] Latest [22:23] hey i am having some intermittent problems with my wifi it seems like the signal strength on my laptop running xubuntu 10.10 is very flaky at best... same laptop on windows seems fine [22:23] its just that Latest gets updates piecemeal and LTS gets it in larger chunks? [22:23] any bright ideas ? [22:23] mod: No, they both get updates piecemeal. LTS also has the option of point release chunks. They contain the same updates. [22:23] rshakin, same here bro [22:23] !latest [22:23] 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. [22:23] mod: no, all ubuntu releases only get security updates mostly (see !srue) [22:23] :( [22:23] also applies to both. [22:23] rshakin: are you running off the mains? [22:23] rww, got it, thanks [22:24] mod: ugh, I meant !sru [22:24] well that would explain why my printing issue hasn't been fixed (problem with gimp and libcairo) === ExplodingPiglets is now known as Zeku [22:25] ever since I downloaded Ubuntu 10.10, whenever I would shut my laptop lid or suspend my computer, it would shut down. not really convenient for sckool and stuff. Is there a way to fix this? [22:25] matt-vaio, look at power management [22:25] rshakin: if you're running off your laptop's battery then you may want to check the power settings [22:25] I think I tried that already... [22:25] YankDownUnder, how do you even import clips in cinelerra... [22:26] mod, it is set to suspend. the problem is, the pc goes to suspend as usual, but when it wakes up it restarts back to the bios. [22:27] ThinkT510: thank you i will check it out... [22:27] how do i get a colored terminal? [22:27] hello [22:27] there [22:27] matt-vaio, and its not hibernating? [22:27] whats the difference between ext2 ext3 ext4 ? [22:28] YankDownUnder, cinlerra just crashed on me. not sure Im interested in this anymore. [22:28] Senix: you want to color your bash prompt? The terminal itself supports color by default [22:28] rshakin: you can try plugging into the mains to see if the wireless improves, if it does then the power settings are affecting your signal (to extend our battery life) [22:28] keke backwards compatible EXT filesystem revisions, higher # has more options. Mostimportantly 3 and 4 have journaling [22:28] Does anybody know of a video editor in Linux, besides Cinelerra, that can crop video? [22:28] mod, it suspends on sleep, and the acts as a hibernate when wakeup [22:28] is there any page where i can find default chown for ubuntu lucid ? [22:28] Roasted, gimp. [22:28] owait, video editor. [22:28] matt-vaio, VIDEO. [22:28] jrib; i want to color my bash prompt yes, but with different Colors like lets say blue for my directory and what not. [22:28] ...nvm [22:28] lol [22:28] ;) [22:28] hello === christian is now known as Guest28163 [22:29] keke, 3 and 4 naturally have more inodes :) [22:29] anyone know where I can get xmllint? I am tried using apt-get but it doesn't seem to be there [22:29] er larger inodes [22:29] Roasted, File => Load Files... === linuxnoob is now known as linuxnoob1 [22:29] Roasted, Oh yeah hey, AVIDemux does cropping also... [22:29] YankDownUnder, yeah, but file wasnt giving me any options. I clicked it about, oh, 8,000 times and it finally showed up with a menu, but then it crashed. Not interested in this program - I'll find something else that works. :P [22:29] Acs: does it have a ppa? [22:30] YankDownUnder, yeah, I just read that avidemux does it. testing it now. :) [22:30] ppa? I don't know I just know my friend has it and I can't install it === matt-vaio is now known as DesertFox [22:30] hello [22:30] YankDownUnder, nevermind. It's failing to open my .ogv video. === DesertFox is now known as matt-vaio [22:30] Acs: how did they get it? [22:30] what is the default chown for ssh ? [22:30] how do i make my partition bigger on ubuntu? [22:30] Senix: you ca google "bash color prompt" and youll get many results on how to customize your PS1 variable. As to where you should actually set that up in ubuntu, use ~/.bashrc [22:30] Roasted, There's also "Openshot Video Editor" => I use it mainly to time-line and compile my ending movie. [22:30] mod, any ideas? [22:30] I hate spamming. [22:30] desg: with gparted, use a live cd [22:30] YankDownUnder, I have openshot, but I couldnt see an option to crop video in it. [22:30] aeon-ltd don't know I thought it was in a repository or something [22:30] !gparted | desg [22:30] desg: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [22:31] ik what gparted is [22:31] YankDownUnder, in fact openshot looked to have the best interface, by far, of any others I used. I was hoping to use that entirely [22:31] aazert: why are you asking that? [22:31] aeon-ltd Acs: Apparently it is included in libxml2 http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_xmllint.htm [22:31] I found this page [22:31] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/xmllint.1.html [22:31] didnt think i could do it tho [22:31] Roasted, You have to do it through the properties of the vid clip in Openshot [22:31] matt-vaio, not really sorry, i'd have to tool around with your laptop to really figure it out, sorry... hopefully you'll find someone smarter :) === michaelc is now known as callahan [22:31] #ubuntu-ru [22:31] desg: use it from a live cd to resize your partition [22:31] desg, gparted is the best thing that ever happened to me. it is a really easy partition editor:). [22:31] it's a man page but I don't have xmllint [22:31] i got connection refused during a ssh access jrib [22:31] darn it [22:31] and is there a rate of creating swap file .for ex if i have 40gb hdd min swap area is 1gb ,and if i have 100gb swap area is bigger? does it have an effect on system speed [22:31] ah, ok mod thanks anyways:) [22:31] YankDownUnder, the video properties? [22:31] live cd can i substitute it for a flash drive? [22:32] YankDownUnder, as in right click - file properties? [22:32] Acs: if its included in libxml2 like Starminn said then you have it already [22:32] desg, easy bet on that is to use unetbootin [22:32] I've got an OSX formatted harddrive that only shows one partition in linux of type GPT (sde1). How do I mount that partition? I tried -t hfsplus and it said bad superblock. [22:32] i checked the port : the port is open, the server is up but can't ssh jrib [22:32] desg: yes, as long as the partition you're resizing isn't mounted [22:32] or if you have windows, unetbootin or linux USB installer [22:32] aazert: it's unlikely that has anything to do with chown. Can you « ssh localhost » on the server locally? [22:32] Roasted, Yeah [22:32] YankDownUnder, that gives me nothing. [22:33] my server is not host localy [22:33] it is an remote server [22:33] Roasted, you DO have the latest version, ya? [22:33] YankDownUnder, I'm on 10.10. whatever is in the repos. [22:33] Roasted, Get the ppa from the openshotvideo.com home [22:34] it is an remote server jrib === jeanne is now known as Guest93346 [22:34] Hmmm... isnt Rekonq supposed to support HTML5 video? [22:34] Why no video plays on YT HTML5 Beta? [22:34] aazert: how do you have access to it or have you locked yourself out somehow? [22:35] ThinkT510: looks like all my partition are mounted useing df -h [22:35] yes i think i done something and since i can't able to access on my server jrib [22:36] How do I change the picture that it shows when computer is starting up(BIOS-related?) and the picture on the background when I'm first trying to log in? [22:36] desg: when you boot from the liveusb then you can resize the partition (it's mounted now because your on it, that why you need to boot from a usb stick/ other linux install) [22:36] aazert: what did you do? [22:36] If I'm going to modify a script in /etc/cron.daily/ is it save to remove the executable flag and rename it to scriptname.backup ? Or should I move it out of the cron directory? [22:36] There's a french ? [22:36] ahhhhhhh i got you [22:37] i don't know [22:37] raido, MacGyverNL i'm trying to create the mirror, but i'm receiving "# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb /dev/sda [22:37] mdadm: ADD_NEW_DISK for /dev/sdb failed: Device or resource busy" do i need to do this from a live disk? [22:38] Jonii: As for the login picture, that is changeable on system settings === zorroleroli is now known as zorrolero [22:38] But for the boot picture, youll have to be more specific [22:38] questionne... I've got e17 running on ubuntu embedded... when I do a svn-session I get gnome in the vnc-session [22:38] how can I change this [22:38] i don't know jrib [22:38] sardonyx: As it states in the tutorial I gave you, the device you're attempting to mirror must be unmounted. [22:39] So depending on what exactly you need to mirror, you need to do it from runlevel 1 or from a liveCD. [22:39] i reboot my server from livecd is it possible to do something with that ? [22:39] I think so, however, I've never attempted that. [22:39] MacGyverNL, it is the system disk...if i do it from a live cd, those changes will still be written to the system disk? [22:39] Might need to "install" the mdadm tools into the runnin liveCD instance if they're not already available. [22:39] But other than that, everything should go smoothly. [22:40] YankDownUnder, got the PPA. still no other options in file properties. [22:40] But... [22:40] If it's the system disk, are you sure GRUB will be able to load from it? [22:40] i reboot my server from livecd is it possible to do something with that ? jrib [22:40] my computer works fine what should I do? [22:40] I haven't looked into that for a great while. [22:40] I accidentaly just erased a file called ".xsession" in my home folder. what should i do? [22:40] MacGyverNL, no...lol i'll try doing some searches and see what i can find [22:40] But I believe there are some conditions to booting from a RAID-1. [22:40] aahow can you reboot your remote server with live cd but not try « ssh localhost » on it? [22:41] Drknzz, I have gone through every system setting thing that's even remotely related to login or visuals or pictures or something like that, and didn't find anything even remotely related to how to change login background [22:41] Jonii: I found it straight ahead [22:41] System Settings -> Login Screen [22:41] xrdodrx: well do you use the file? [22:41] jrib, use it? [22:41] It's called ".xsession" [22:41] and I use X [22:41] so probably [22:42] aazert: dealing with 5 second lag here... what I said above starting with "aahow" was for you [22:42] Drknzz, doesn't have any setting related to the background [22:42] Jonii: If you are reffering to your contact pic, that can be changed in User Account [22:42] I don't really know what it is / does :< [22:42] xrdodrx: if you're not sure, then you probably don't use it. It's for a custom xsession [22:42] Jonii: If you are reffering to Grub's background, youll have to google because i forgot that [22:42] nobody know where I can get xmllint? [22:43] jrib, oh, ok..:D I was trying to delete xchat's settings and went too quickly :P [22:43] thanks :) [22:43] my host provide that facility to able to boot from livecd jrib [22:43] Acs: libxml2-utils [22:43] Drknzz, just the background, wallpaper-like things that's visible where the login screen window doesn't overshadow it, that purple-to-red'ish color monster [22:44] Jonii: Ah! You're talking about GDM, i thought i was on #kubuntu so i was talking about KDM, sorry :p [22:44] Acs: As I said, everything points to it being already in libxml2 http://www.xmlsoft.org/ [22:44] aazert: ok, do that then. But if you remembered what ou did on the server that blocked you out, that would be helpful [22:45] Acs: In the link you found(http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/man1/xmllint.1.html) they even point to it at the bottom. [22:45] hi all again [22:45] would you like that i post you all ssh conf file ? [22:46] i ve got a problem. Previous installation hasnt been completed on ubuntu how can i repair this [22:46] I have a crazy iscsi problem, the first host connect find to the storage, then or second host, connects fine, dmegs showa us that sdc, and sdc1 were created. /proc/scsi/scsi shows the scsi device. But there is no sdc in /dev [22:46] aazert: sure [22:47] thanks a lot [22:47] everything in iscsiadm appears connected and working. But the node file does not get create in /dev [22:47] on the other server, everything is fine [22:48] I have speakers plugged into my back audio ports and headphones in my front ports, i want the back ports to be disabled when i plug into the front port, how do i do this?

My kernel didn't have CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION so I used one of my machiens that did. Then GPT mounted normally.

[22:51] While I was seeing the flash drive wouldn't open I waited for the update to finish installing it was about 52% done and at around 59% it booted me to login [22:51] zombiie_: you can try using apt to install the updates from the command line and log back in after, see if that makes a difference [22:52] dunno how [22:52] What program can slice up video files like Audacity does for audio?

[22:53] ThinkT510: now i took the time to dl gparted and unetbooting but under distributions i dont see it? [22:54] here is the conf ssh http://paste.ubuntu.com/574201/ jrib [22:54] neonninja: I don't know about cdt.... how can I tell? [22:54] desg: sorry, not sure what you mean (i use dd, never used unetbootin) [22:54] Well while doing all this bs with linux I made my ps3 boot sound like an xbox 360 haha [22:54] and stewie is peeing the ps3 logo [22:54] daniel: sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt [22:54] its funny [22:55] lol [22:55] daniel: that will install the C/C++ dev tools for eclipse [22:55] lol [22:55] neonninja: Oh, yes I have them all installed. [22:55] :) :) I "hacked" the dev_flash .raf and .ac3 flash in the ps3 with custom boot stuff ;) ;) [22:56] neonninja: Tried to run it and got 0 upgraded/installed [22:56] zombie_: i have to admt, i don't do anything when updating (to make sure the updates run smoothly) [22:56] aazert: that seems ok so you need to remember what you did between the time you could ssh and the time you couldn't [22:56] any iscsi experts out there? [22:56] I might try again but the whole booting to login happened before and I installed NEW X and it fixed it but then again..... [22:56] neonninja: When I try to call #include I get an error since it does not find it. But I can compile in terminal so my conclusion was that I have to add a path in eclipse.

[22:57] i also does some changes with vsftpd file [22:57] i also does some changes with vsftpd file jrib [22:57] daniel: type 'locate iostream' for me its at : /usr/include/c++/4.4/iostream [22:57] aazert: what do you mean by "also"? What else did you do? [22:58] how do i change the message you get when you connect via SSH to a server? [22:58] I am following this post http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/install-gnome-shell-from-git-in-ubuntu.html to install the latest version of gnome 3 and I got the "possible error #2 " [22:58] its my server* [22:58] its like a drop down menu in unetbootin named distributions and gparted is supposed to be there ThinkT510 [22:58] Jasonn: /etc/issue and /etc/motd are the normal messages [22:58] Jasonn: /etc/update-motd/ .. those files in there [22:58] i simply want to make a link between ftp and ssh [22:58] thanks [22:58] and when git clone git://git.gnome.org/libnotify I get fatal: destination path 'libnotify' already exists and is not an empty directory. [22:58] hi all [22:58] how can I fix that and move on ?? [22:58] daniel_tree: seems self-explanatory [22:59] daniel_tree: why dont you just connect via ssh? [22:59] i want to restrict ftp user to access over ssh, i changed something on /etc/vsftpd.conf [22:59] daniel_tree: why are you doing this ? [22:59] daniel_tree: it makes your machine totally impossible to support [22:59] Jasonn, never thought of that .. [22:59] desg: theres a link in the factoid ubottu gave you, does that help? [22:59] jrib [22:59] neonninja: I get the same path, I added it and it still does not change. Probably I have to look more into that, but this looks to be right. [22:59] ikonia, I am curious to try it out [22:59] aazert: disable ftp, then they can only use ssh [22:59] daniel_tree: sudo apt-get install openSSH [22:59] its like a drop down menu in unetbootin named distributions and gparted is supposed to be there ThinkT510 [22:59] Think:: My updater, is telling me I have them all installed and there are no more updates, could this be false? [23:00] daniel_tree: it's not something you can "try" it won't be possible to undo it very easy and will make your machine totally impossible to support [23:00] Jasonn, and what do I do after that ? [23:00] aazert: you can't ssh. It seems like you could at some point. Earlier you were asking how to deny ssh for specific users. So I'm asking you what you did between the time you could ssh and the time you can't. By the way, this sshd_config you pastebinned isn't just the live cd one right? You mounted your actual install and pastebinned the sshd_config from there? [23:00] neonninja: What I am ultimately looking for is getting breakpoints in my code. Is there any easy way to do that other than eclipse? [23:00] daniel_tree: plus it really sounds like you don't know what you're doing and just typing commands blindly [23:00] desg: you could install ubuntu to the stick (that has gparted on it) [23:00] i dont have gparted on it [23:01] ikonia, I can always reverse it [23:01] daniel_tree: how ? [23:01] im trying to get it on it [23:01] no i m sure the sshd_config is my system file, i mounted that partition jrib [23:01] how do i install Gnome? === macs[vps] is now known as macs [23:01] macs[vps]: it should already be installed on ubuntu desktop install [23:01] desg: like i said, i have no experience with unetbootin [23:01] its the server install [23:01] macs: if you want to install the package ubuntu-desktop it will set it all up for you === derp is now known as lol [23:01] neonninja: I think I will restart and see if that works. Some people on various forums mentioned that. [23:01] desg: sorry i can't help more [23:02] ikonia, it's installed into a folder I suppose and doesnt affect your currrent config.. [23:02] aazert: ok, but don't ignore the rest of my message please [23:02] aint it just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [23:02] macs: that's what I said [23:02] Where can I find the new X at, as a DEB package Think? [23:02] daniel_tree: does it not change any of the dependencies on your system [23:02] zombie_: why? [23:03] zombie_: i don't recommend that [23:03] I was thinking about testing it [23:03] ikonia, I dont know where I read that...I am not sure... [23:03] i don't remember seriously jrib what i have done before sorry [23:03] zombie_: you have to be able to know where to get it to be able to provide valid testing feedbck [23:03] what is the most secure version of ubuntu? [23:03] ikonia, help me go through that and we'll see :D [23:03] I'm finding this Linux video editor search to be quite a ridiculous headache. So for the last time, which video editor out there will allow me to edit video files like Audacity edits music files? [23:03] I have no idea where I got it before some guy on here linked it to me in commands [23:03] aazert: look at your shell history then [23:04] Roasted: pitivi, kino, ... === lol is now known as derp [23:04] daniel_tree: no thanks, [23:04] jrib, not seeing how I was able to do that in pitivi [23:04] Roasted, kdelive openShot [23:04] zombie_: I strongly recommend you do your messing around in a vm like virtualbox [23:04] daniel_tree, or openshot. [23:05] Roasted, or ..right [23:05] i can't access to shell history jrib [23:05] Roasted: you edit video files in pitivi [23:05] aazert: why not? [23:05] hey fellas - having a weird problem. so i just set up a new box & when i tried to login authentication failed. i thought it was rather weird since it's a password i use by muscle memory & chances of me mistyping it twice during installation were minimal. anyways - started a root shell in recovery mode & ran passwd. got the warning password unchanged... what is going on? [23:05] k'. [23:05] jrib, pitivi doesnt support avi? [23:05] really? [23:05] the question point on my question is how to rescue my ssh access [23:05] Roasted, there is a new version ..I dont think it is in the ubuntu software center yet... [23:05] daniel_tree: you're adding 3rd party repos to update the deps and then building it into your home directory, it's not something I'd recommend [23:05] is pitivi secure? [23:05] because it is an remote host jrib [23:05] aazert: what's the issue with it [23:05] daniel_tree, new version of what? pitivi? [23:06] Roasted, openshot [23:06] aazert: but you just finished getting me sshd_config, so surely you can get your user's shell history the same way? [23:06] i got connection refused [23:06] i can't able to access over ssh ikonia [23:06] Roasted: I don't use pitivi but I would be surprised if that were the case [23:06] Roasted, http://www.openshotvideo.com/ [23:06] daniel_tree, I have the PPA version of openshot [23:06] hey all, is there a way to enlarge resizing region of the windows in gnome [23:06] jrib, error importing AVI, but imports ogv fine. [23:06] aazert: then you will need someone with physical access to the server to restart ssh or drop the firewall or what ever is blocking you [23:06] running login from the root shell & trying my user gives me same issue [23:06] Roasted: what codec? [23:06] i don't how to get the history from livecd jrib [23:06] jrib, I have no idea. I converted it with avidemux [23:07] no one at the moment ikonia [23:07] aazert: then you won't be able to make any chances or debug ig [23:07] Roasted: find the codec and figure out if pitivi should support it or not [23:07] it [23:07] ikonia, hm...but what can I do with fatal: destination path 'libnotify' already exists and is not an empty directory. [23:07] How do you change an icon in gnome panels? I don't want to change the main menu icon, I want to change my Firestarter icon [23:07] i can able to access over an live cd on my system ikonia i m sorry [23:07] daniel_tree: I'm not supporting this, I suggest you contact the person/team who wrote the guide [23:07] bizzarre - changing to a new password & changing it back fixed it [23:08] jrib, well I have an OGV of the file so itll work. IF I can figure out how to cut the video file, which I currently cannot find a solution to [23:08] ah hah, got it [23:08] aazert: what did you change to break it ? [23:08] dborba did you give your user login privelages? Check /etc/passwd [23:08] baron_sengir, type alacarte in terminal. === shane_ is now known as JDM_SOHC [23:08] can i see that on /var/log ? [23:08] Roasted: did you try reading the manual? http://www.pitivi.org/manual/ [23:08] jrib, no, the scissor option was grayed out [23:08] jrib, but its not now [23:09] Hey there [23:09] anyone know of an good iscsi channel [23:09] aazert: no, what did you do to change it [23:09] I have a daemon that takes about 20 seconds to stop. How can I make Ubuntu wait for it to exit cleanly before finishing the shutdown process? [23:09] am asking about how to install downloaded GDM theme in ubuntu 10.04 ? [23:09] since there is no logon window [23:09] i change some chown on the file [23:09] M9aileekh: you can't [23:09] i also change something on vsftpd.conf file [23:10] aazert: look at your user's bash history [23:10] and sshd_conf [23:10] jrib, there is no GDM themes now ? [23:10] aazert: why are you looking at the vsftpd config file, that has nothing to do with ssh [23:10] but I installed GDM2Setup and there is a lot of themes there [23:10] to restrict my ftp user to able to access over the ssh ikonia === im2cute4u|2 is now known as im2cute4u [23:11] I want to customize my logon screen how could I do that in Ubuntu 10.04 ? [23:11] Guest30213: I know how to do that, but I'm talking about the icon in the panel next to my time and network information. I don't want to change the one in the drop down main menu [23:11] aazert: vsftp is called vsftp because it only works over ssh, I beleive. [23:11] M9aileekh: you can change the background and the gtk theme iirc [23:11] aazert: forget ftp - fix your ssh problem [23:11] raido: no it doesn't [23:11] raido: it is nothing to do with ssh [23:12] ok [23:12] jrib, how could I do that ? [23:12] so why i got connection refused during an ssh authentification ? ikonia [23:12] aazert: has it ever worked ? [23:12] i check all port using nmap every port are open [23:12] the server ping itself [23:12] aazert: has it ever worked ? [23:12] does anyone here have an SSD or 2 SSD's in raid 0 ? [23:12] Speer: why ? [23:12] yes of course from 3 mont [23:13] now [23:13] ikonia: oh [23:13] aazert: ok, what did you change to break it ? [23:13] yes of course from 3 month to now [23:13] How exactly do I enable video effects in pitivi? I'm watching a howto video and there's a tab for video effects, however I don't have that tab on my pitivi.... [23:13] M9aileekh: if you have gdm2setup that's one way [23:13] curious, i want to buy 2 and put in raid 0 to replace my current HD [23:13] i don't know, tell me how to see my system history from livecd ? [23:13] Okay I had but there is any customize themes which can I download it ? [23:13] likley 2 of these http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167035 [23:14] i have never done raid before, was reading you need a controller or something to have it work? could someone enlighten me? [23:14] baron_sengir, Ah sorry, part of systray. I guess you would have to digg in into gtk theme, but it's more of a wild guess. Sorry can't help. [23:14] aazert: it will be in your systems home directory under .bash_history [23:14] Roasted: I think the best way to enable them would be /j pitivi :) [23:14] Speer: yes you need a hardware raid controller, or use linux software raid [23:14] anyone knows how can i get my wireless card chipset? [23:14] drc, what? [23:15] M9aileekh: no, like I said, you can change the wallpaper and gtk theme [23:15] hi, i am using ubuntu 10.10, fully patched. just grabbed a copy of gtk-recordmydesktop. it installed, but menu icon is missing. google dosn't help. any ideas? [23:15] ty [23:15] hi [23:15] Speer: raid 0 for a root file system is a very bad idea, and you will need a seperate /boot partition if you are using software raid, /boot cannot be on raid 0 [23:15] drc, nobody is answering in there. another dead program chat. [23:15] ikonia: would my motherboard have it onboard you think? would i need to buy a seperate one? [23:15] so Im asking here. thanks. [23:15] How exactly do I enable video effects in pitivi? I'm watching a howto video and there's a tab for video effects, however I don't have that tab on my pitivi.... [23:15] Guest30213: Yeah, should have made that clearer. Was groping for 'systray,' just couldn't think of it. I figured it'd be some where with gtk, I just didn't want to muck around and mess something u [23:15] blkdg: you can run it from the command line or add an icon yourself to the menu [23:16] Speer: your motherboards on board will be a technology called "fake raid" which is a very bad idea to use under Linux due to it being a windows designed technology [23:16] Roasted: not all channels are as active as this one. You need to be more patient in the smaller channels [23:16] ikonia: Btw im using windows 7 [23:16] raido, how do i find it's icon if i add it to the menu? [23:16] don't have ikonia [23:16] Speer: are you trying to install ubuntu onto this raid system ? [23:16] jrib, I have been. I just want to create a simple video. [23:16] aazert: then you can't tell your shell history [23:16] so I'm asking tonight UNTIL I get answers. [23:16] ikonia: No, just windows 7 for now [23:16] Speer: ask the guys in the ##windows channel [23:16] is there any command like history /bin/bash ? [23:17] Speer: we only support ubuntu [23:17] or something else i don't know [23:17] ?? [23:17] history? [23:17] ikonia: im talking about hardware not software :) [23:17] aazert: no, it needs the filel I said that you have said is not there [23:17] blkdg: sometimes they put them in the programs install directory [23:17] the command [23:17] Speer: that is not what this channel is for, try ##hardware then [23:17] ikonia: is there anything i would need to do specifically in the bios would you say? [23:17] Speer: that is not what this channel is for, try ##hardware then [23:17] no one? could anyone help me on discover the chipset of my wireless board? [23:18] raido, god enough. thanks. [23:18] blkdg: when a program doesnt have one I just pick a generic one, but I thinl that program has one [23:18] ikonia: is there anything i would need to do specifically in the bios would you say? [23:18] NewToUbuntu: google your card model [23:18] NewToUbuntu, is ubuntu installed [23:18] rais [23:18] NewToUbuntu, if it is in the system , connected,, open a terminal sudo dmidecode that may tell you [23:19] NewToUbuntu, lspci -v | grep Network [23:19] instead of rm -r /libnotify how can I make a backup of the folder mv -r /~libnotify ....will work ? [23:19] daniel_tree: no -r needed [23:19] daniel_tree: no cp will backup [23:19] daniel_tree: mv will move [23:19] daniel_tree: er oh, wait do you want to rename or copy? [23:19] raido i don't think he knows. i think he wants the os to tell him [23:19] ok [23:19] rename [23:20] daniel_tree: mv will rename [23:20] thanks again. [23:20] daniel_tree: mv oldname newname [23:20] aham..thanks.. [23:20] blkdg: yeah, but sometimes the tools only give you a model, not the actual chipset [23:20] wow [23:20] Official Ubuntu Support Channel [23:21] whats up?

Is there a way I can make the normal boot messages show up instead? [23:26] hello [23:27] BitWraith: this is the desktop loading up - you cant stop this, or it will be extremely hard to [23:28] no, I mean before that [23:28] anyone know how to set up a Yuan PE988 TV Tuner Card? [23:28] before the X serve starts, the framebuffer is painted black, with a little white mouse.

[23:29] already there. no conversation going on. so Im asking here, thanks. [23:29] Roasted: Be patient. [23:29] Roasted, OpenShot is a good Video Editor [23:29] Hello, there! has anyone here been able to have the new version of google-earth [version 6] ruuning? I get a black screen and nothing more; tried everything out there [including the Medibuntu repository, which is marginally better in the sense that I get an error message!]; I am on Lucid, and have lsb-core installed [23:29] Logan_WP, have been. asking here anyway. thanks. [23:29] ive had a number of reinstalls on xubuntu/kubuntu and sometimes when i mess something up i end up at a buzybox terminal. any ideas? [23:30] Alrighty, in live session, about to start installing Ubuntu 10.10 [23:30] Camera_Dude, yeah Im working with openshot now while I wait for #pitivi to wake up with an answer, but I'm doubting they will. Some google searches revealed a lot of people pissed about pitivi and how ultra basic it was. [23:30] Roasted: keep in mind this isn't the support channel for the application, [23:30] what does etc exactly stand for? [23:31] When I click 'update this installer' ''ubiquity'' crashes [23:31] ..busybox? [23:31] What do I do? [23:31] marlow59: etcettera [23:31] Hey everyone! My gnome panels keep resetting to the basic settings, if i reset X-server they switch to the nice looking ones. But on reboot, they go back to the basic one. Any ideas? Many Thanks! [23:31] nop [23:31] I mean [23:31] etc/ [23:31] the folder... [23:31] ikonia, I understand that. But the likelihood of users here having answers vs pitivi is actually substantially higher. [23:31] marlow59: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:31] hey so how do i fix the problem of booting into busybox? [23:31] Roasted: it's not really a common application, so I wouldn't hold your breath on it, [23:31] When I click 'update this installer' ''ubiquity'' crashes, what do I do? [23:31] ikonia, it's the default application in ubuntu, so I'll take my chances. [23:31] yeah but i cant wait till Light Works gets released for Linux [23:32] !repeat | bo [23:32] bo: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [23:32] ah [23:32] i see [23:32] Logan_WP: Please lay off the factoids a bit. [23:32] guys [23:32] what does etc/ stand for exactly ? [23:32] Pici: :( [23:32] bo: Please ask your question all on one line and with as much information as possible, and someone will try to answer if they know. [23:32] i was harassed and banned in #ubuntu-offtopic [23:32] by an op [23:33] Cydd: joined #ubuntu-ops if you want to discuss it [23:33] bo what kind of machine is it?

I once used apt-cacher but wonder if there is a better way [23:33] asus 1201n [23:34] this has happened probably 4-5 times over the past month or so ive been using this machone [23:34] *machine [23:34] marlow59, it stands for etcetera it houses various configuration files [23:34] it generally happens after i have rebooted several times because of freezing or updates or other things. [23:35] to be clear, rebooting several times in the space of like 10 minutes or so [23:35] bo: what os is installed on it [23:35] windows 7, kubuntu / xubuntu [23:35] I'm seeing these errors when trying to mount.....PLEASE Help [23:35] both instaled via wubi [23:35] EXT3-fs error (device sdb1): ext3_readdir: bad entry in directory #5882774: inode out of bounds - offset=0, inode=5882774, rec_len=12, name_len=1 [23:35] Roasted: honestly, your best bet is to ask in #pitivi and being really patient (like 24 hours because of timezones). The reason being that though the smaller channels are smaller they are also filled with users dedicated to that particular app so probably know more. The issue is no one is on their computer. It's fine for you to ask here but it would be a more efficient use of your time and energy to just [23:35] wait for a highlight in #pitivi :) You might also try some more passive support forum like a pitivi mailing list if it exists [23:36] bo: yeah, I think you will have better luck looking to Wubi docs/irc for help on that. [23:36] jrib, as I already stated, I already did ask, and I already am waiting, however openshot is proving to be a far more useful program to begin with, so I'm using that until I get the job done or pitivi responds with an intelligent response. [23:36] it doesnt seem like a wubi related probelm [23:37] hi [23:37] i mean, it doesnt happen when i restart, only after having messed with settings/widgets/the like [23:37] bo: are you using wubi ? [23:37] well, i gotta go [23:37] Hey, I need help installing ubuntu here! [23:37] yes [23:37] i need libtool 2.2 on ubuntu hardy, but it's neighter in the backports nor updates [23:37] what should i do? [23:37] Roasted: right, I'm just telling you what I would do in your shoes [23:37] but i need to go [23:37] bye guys, thanks for the suggestions [23:37] I have Ubuntu LiveCD. When it loads, there is an option to try or install Ubuntu. Am I able to install Ubuntu onto my 2GB USB stick? [23:37] bo: Sorry we couldn't be of more help [23:38] ZeroZiat: why? [23:38] Do you guys have a recommended size of swap space to use when manually partitioning your hard drive? [23:38] Roasted: depends on a lot of things [23:38] Well, I have two partitions, both ntfs, with windows in one, the other one is more like storage space. [23:38] Roasted: i go with ram x 2 [23:38] ikonia, is there an average to shoot for for the home user [23:38] Roasted: you dont need swap space really.. make it 1GB if u want. [23:38] TheMozart: Problem, is, I'm not sure the installer is gonna do things right. [23:38] Roasted: Swap ==being equal RAM, all things [23:38] Roasted: size of your disk, ram, type of work you're doing, your neeeds, eg: hibernation etc [23:38] Roasted: if you want to hibernate use at least as much as your ram [23:38] ram x2? [23:38] holy wow [23:39] 24gb on a 12gb system? [23:39] ZeroZiat: what you talking about? [23:39] Roasted: well you need *at least* 1xram to hibernate [23:39] that just doesn't sound kosher [23:39] I have Ubuntu LiveCD. When it loads, there is an option to try or install Ubuntu. Am I able to install Ubuntu onto my 2GB USB stick? [23:39] Roasted: Thats life. [23:39] Roasted: it is [23:39] Roasted: and if you are swapping, then you need enough to cover ram + the swap that's in use [23:39] Roasted: if you have 12gb and will never swap more than 1gb, then fine....13gb swap [23:39] Roasted: the size of disks these days, even if you have 8GB of ram, 16GB of ram is not a lot on a 200GB disk [23:39] Roasted: or if you will never hibernate, then hell, 512mb [23:39] anyone know? [23:40] TheMozart: There's an option, install alongside other OS, or allocate partitions manually, the thing is I already got like 10 gigs free for Ubuntu but I'm not sure if the slider space divider thing notices my other windows partition or if it notices other stuff. [23:40] Roasted: as I said it depends a lot on your personal machine and needs [23:40] Roasted you should wait till Light Works comes out for Linux [23:40] maco, what kind of swap differences is there with suspend vs hibernate? [23:40] Sorry, I'm not being clear enough. [23:40] Roasted: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How%20much%20swap%20do%20I%20need? [23:40] Roasted: suspend keeps everything in ram. swap's not involved. hibernate writes out all of ram to the swap partition [23:40] doesnt anyone have an answer for me? :( [23:40] TheMozart: try to repeat your question instead of just referring to it.

[23:41] !attitude Logan_WP [23:41] TheMozart: ok, easy there [23:41] TheMozart: he's trying to help you, [23:42] I loaded the Ubuntu LiveCD. Can I install from the CD onto my 2GB USB stick? [23:42] TheMozart: i don't think so, better way is to create a persistent usb stick by usb-creator [23:42] exutux: what? [23:42] TheMozart: yes, the usb stick is just a disk [23:42] exutux: I did that.. but its a mirror image of the liveCD [23:42] TheMozart: you should be able to just select the partition on your usb stick in the installer [23:42] isn't 2G too little? [23:43] pushing hte size a bit [23:43] TheMozart: froschi_ makes a good point [23:43] ikonia: but 2GB aren't too small for a regular installation? [23:43] exutux: I did that already..but ut doesnt INSTALL ubuntu, it just make a mirror copy of the LiveCD === clay_ is now known as ClayG [23:43] solder [23:43] My system wont recognize media cards, what is a good way to fix this? [23:43] jrib so from the LiveCD, when I choose INSTALL, I can install to my 2gb usb stick? will it work? and will it not touch my hard drive? [23:44] TheMozart: persistent is like an installation [23:44] What's the proper way to ssh into a box and execute a command so it launches in the running x-server? [23:45] isnoop: sudo apt-get install openssh # the end [23:45] TheMozart: try it, if space is enough it will works [23:45] exutux: you are wrong! When I chose create a persistent usb stick by usb-creator from the LiveCD Admin menu, it didn't install, it just made my USB stick like the LiveCD. === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [23:45] jrib: Nice... I'll try tha... wait a minute, you're being sassy. [23:46] TheMozart: Okay, then how do you want the usb stick to behave? [23:46] TheMozart: nope you wrong...if you leave a space for files it is persistent and you are able to save your files into usb [23:46] Seriously, though. I'm trying to execute synergyc. It will only attach to X11 if run from within X, not if I execute it from a remote terminal. [23:46] TheMozart: persistent isn't only live cd [23:47] isnoop: no, I'm serious :/ [23:47] isnoop: maybe I misunderstood your question. Can you elaborate?

[23:49] Is there any way to see all of the keyboard shortcuts? Some of them like mod4+M are already assigned to something I don't need, but I can't find a way to remove them [23:49] i wanted desktop to run as a decent server [23:49] what would be a nice site to take tips from? [23:49] it looks like I need to get it from here www.pendrivelinux.com... as installing onto a USB stick from the LIVEcd wont work :( [23:50] 10.10 btw [23:50] TheMozart: If you don't want the USB stick to act like a liveCD, then how do you want the stick to behave?

[23:52] TheMozart: i said you that is better to create an USBLIVEPERSISTENT it's like an installation, not only a live usb stick [23:52] Pici: dont be silly dude!

[23:53] TheMozart: Humor me. [23:53] hakr ubuntu-server is just a metapackage.... all you have to do is pick wich packages you want from it [23:53] TheMozart: if you have only 2GB of space, that's better way IMHO [23:53] jrib, Thanks a lot [23:53] hmm [23:53] sooooo [23:53] there's a repository? [23:54] Pici: I want the stick to behave like a normally installed Ubuntu! I get do it from pendrivelinux.com but I want to do it from LiveCD IF its [possible? [23:54] exutux: wehats better? [23:54] TheMozart: then can't you... install it normally? maybe i'm mistaken, but i thought that was perfectly possible [23:54] !repo | hakr [23:54] hakr: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[23:55] instead of having to download Ubuntu from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/, is it possible to install Ubuntu to my 2GB USB stick from LiveCD? Yes or No? [23:55] ChesterX: hmm, what do you mean? [23:55] !keyboard shortcuts | ChesterX [23:55] ChesterX: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts === Metaxa123 is now known as Metaxa [23:55] I'm seeing some bizarre socket behavior while running on natty that I didn't see on Maverick or earlier. [23:55] Logan_WP: Please don't send related factoids to people asking about subjects if the links inside them aren't going to be able to help with their question. [23:55] TheMozart: Yes. [23:55] I have a test program that listens on a socket with SO_REUSEADDR set and then disconnects, several times in different tests. On Maverick and earlier this always worked. On Natty for some reason, even though netstat -ap doesn't show anything listening on the port, any attempt to bind after the first time fails with 'address already in use'. Any ideas? [23:55] LjL thats my question.. if I choose INSTALL from LiveCD, can I install it to my USB stick and it wont touch my hard drive? [23:55] Pici: how don't those instructions help them? [23:55] jrib, I am staying in argentina for some time meaning i ll have to write a lot with their special n, which of course I don t have by default [23:55] Pici: it says where to change keyboard shortcuts [23:56] Jordan_U: how? [23:56] TheMozart: Exactly the same way you'd install to an internal drive. [23:56] TheMozart, well, just make sure to select the manual partitioning option, so it won't just start overwriting your hard drive, but ask you what to do and where. [23:56] jrib: I already had those installed, and mod4+M isn't showing up on the Keyboard Shortcuts menu. Resetting appearance did solve some other assignment problems, though, so thanks [23:56] ChesterX: oh, I see. Well usually you can setup dead keys or use altgr. But you want to avoid that? [23:56] why do they have ubuntu for USB sticks at http://www.pendrivelinux.com if its possible to install Ubuntu to USB stick from the LiveCD? [23:56] Logan_WP: Asking how to install ubuntu server and what repositories to use doesn't mean that the person needs to know what a !repo is. In fact, its not really related to what they need to know at all. [23:56] TheMozart: a regular installation into 2GB space?? i don't think it's possible [23:56] TheMozart: i do believe your USB stick, if inserted at the time, will show up as a hard drive and you'll be able to install on it, but i can't say i'm 100% sure about that [23:56] hey hakr i found the linux-image-server package [23:57] exutux: a base install isn't anywhere near 2GB [23:57] Pici: [23:57] there's a repository? [23:57] hakr: You can us tasksel to install parts of ubuntu-server onto your desktop install. [23:57] exutux: have a look here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [23:57] jrib, no that is exactly what i am looking for (e.g.: special n = n + alt gr) [23:57] Logan_WP: That was only the last line of a conversation. [23:57] Pici: so it explains what repos are [23:57] Pici: I was following the conversation [23:57] Logan_WP: may I pm? [23:58] sure [23:58] ChesterX: ok, I don't know exactly what you need to do. Play with the options in system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts (I will too, and see if I find anything first) [23:58] jrib, thank you! [23:58] My system wont recognize media cards, what is a good way to fix this? [23:58] exutux: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-ubuntu-10-04-on-flash-drive-using-windows/ <-- notice 2GB USB stick is plenty! === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [23:59] TheMozart: a regular installation needs about 4GB of free space [23:59] hakr: Ubuntu Server by itself generally has less packages than Ubuntu Desktop does, so if you want to install some server thing, then you're probably better off installing one of the tasks for what you're looking for. Sorry if that sounded confusing. What sort of server application are you trying to install? [23:59] exutux: proof? [23:59] TheMozart: Live installs are compressed and thus take less space.
