[00:00] ChesterX: one of the options I mentioned ("dead keys") is called the compose key in keyboard preference options [00:00] Hi, im a new user of ubuntu... I have some questions conserning the software manager, installing a game that is not listed there and upgrading, removing etc... Would anyone pm me? ill try not to be a pain in the ass...... Ive been reading some tutorials and how-to's.. But just want confirmation that i have grasped it all right. Anyone willing to help a newbie? [00:00] !pm | starztorm [00:00] starztorm: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:00] exutux: the total installation size is a little under 1 GB [00:00] ok ok :) [00:01] TheMozart: You may want to take a look at this, specifically the advanced users (GUI) section: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [00:01] TheMozart: a desktop? [00:01] exutux: you claim the base ubuntu install is at least 4GB, but I am calling your information misleading... because the base install is a little under 1 GB [00:01] ChesterX: so enabling a compose key, I can type ñ by hitting compose key + ~, releasing, then hitting 'n'. That's a bit of a pain to type though :) [00:02] TheMozart: maybe you talking about a minimal installation [00:02] Software manager. Does it only concern the programs listed in it? or will it find all the programs that i install "outside" the software manager? [00:02] TheMozart: And its possible that we're confused, I assumed you wanted to install a desktop system as well. [00:02] ChesterX: what layout do you use now? If USA, you might consider USA international [00:02] exutux: the total installation size is a little under 1 GB. NOT 4GB as you have misleadingly stated [00:02] Pici: i want to install Ubuntu from the LiveCD [00:02] TheMozart: the total installed size of standard Ubuntu with GNOME is >2GB [00:02] TheMozart: a regular Desktop installation needs about 4GB of free space [00:02] TheMozart: So... Ubuntu Desktop. And what did that link say that I just sent you? [00:03] LjL tell that to exutux because he claims its 4GB [00:03] TheMozart: i'm telling you that it's definitely not <1GB [00:03] jrib, i have the normal german layout. I used German Eliminate Dead Keys. It does the job but I ll keep looking ;-) Thank you for your help it will ease thinks a lot :D [00:03] I'm still struggling with makefile syntax. For example, I don't understand this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/574216/ [00:03] TheMozart: and IIRC it's actually around 3GB, at least with Hardy [00:03] LjL I know.. tell exutux because he falsely claimes its 4GB === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [00:04] TheMozart: and you falsely claim it's less than a gig. your point? [00:04] OMG [00:04] !attitude | TheMozart [00:04] TheMozart: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [00:04] ChesterX: with usa international (altgr) I can just hit altgr + n. You can hack something together too: like modify the layout to do what you want or just setup a keybinding with e.g. xbindkeys to insert the key (I think). I have to go now, good luck [00:04] Ok! well it seems its NOT possible to install Ubuntu from LiveCD onto my 2GB USB stick,, so I guess I will just grab it from here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-ubuntu-10-04-on-flash-drive-using-windows/ [00:04] !attitude | Logan_WP [00:04] Logan_WP: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[00:04] oops [00:04] TheMozart: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [00:05] TheMozart: Stop abusing the bot. [00:05] jrib, i ll try it out thank for the suggestion [00:05] oh i did see a tutorial online on how to compress files like a live cd so that you can take your system anywhere.. but that was a while ago [00:05] Is there some IRC I should turn to with questions regarding getting into "Getting started" [00:05] I have one regarding TestDrive [00:05] TheMozart: thats the same instructions as the Persistant Live CD ones that we gave you before and you claimed you didn't want to use... [00:05] selected abusers. [00:05] hi... will pppoeconf only autodetect the modem if it is already in bridge mode? [00:05] exutux: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-ubuntu-10-04-on-flash-drive-using-windows/ [00:05] ill just get that [00:06] TheMozart: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements [00:06] krycek: excuse me? [00:06] Pici: I did the LiveCD USB creator thing,, but it doesnt install Ubuntu.. all it did was make a mirror copy of the live CD [00:06] TheMozart: Thats the same thing that you're going to get with http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-ubuntu-10-04-on-flash-drive-using-windows/ [00:06] Pici: you arent excused. [00:06] TheMozart: i repeat persistent live usb stick is different [00:07] is there another version of Ubuntu that takes up less space? [00:07] Hey hey, little question about installing Ubuntu. [00:07] krycek: Lets try to say on-topic here. [00:07] If i install a game using the aptitude command, will the update manager list updates for it when new versions are released? [00:07] starztorm: Yes. [00:07] exutux: how come that Usb Install from that link I gave you works with 2GB USB sticks? [00:07] starztorm: Yes, as with any other package [00:07] I happen to have a free unallocated, unpartitioned 10 gigs on my drive, how can I make ubuntu use those in the installer? [00:07] !ask | ZeroZiat [00:07] ZeroZiat: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [00:08] starztorm: Well, as long as those new versions are uploaded to the Ubuntu repositories of course. [00:08] TheMozart: for usb live persistent 1GB is enough [00:08] Hello everyone, Im having trouble getting the nvidia 330m graphics card to work with ubuntu 10.10. Can anyone help me? [00:08] exutux: you stated that I need at least 4GB to install Ubuntu.. so explain to me how that link I gave you says I only need 2GB [00:08] !nvidia | dan_ [00:08] dan_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:08] starztorm: apt-get, aptitude, and synaptic all acheive the same thing, btw [00:08] exutux: thats because the usb live usb creator doesnt install it, it only mirrors the liveCD onto the USB stick [00:08] TheMozart: i refer to official wiki and requirements not about link on world [00:09] exutux: so you cannot explain it? [00:09] Pici: aha. Does the repositories concern other games than those listed in the software center? [00:09] you might be able to use this and a few other things to put your system on a flash drive http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man1/mksquashfs.1.html [00:09] nsd: ty [00:09] starztorm: np [00:09] TheMozart: The official requirements for Xubuntu inlude 2.0 GiB free space. [00:09] there is also an application named "imagewriter" [00:09] exutux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=337306 [00:10] I happen to have a free unallocated, unpartitioned 10 gigs on my drive, how can I make ubuntu use those in the installer? [00:10] exutux: how do you explain that link? [00:10] hi... will pppoeconf only autodetect the modem if it is already in bridge mode? [00:10] http://forum.notebookreview.com/5820189-post2517.html This is the link I have tried to follow with no avail [00:10] TheMozart: no it doesn't, It also creates a ext2 file system for the "persistence" part...that is not simply mirroring the iso [00:10] i get an error right when i try to edit anything [00:10] TheMozart: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent read it [00:11] It is possible to have Ubuntu or Kubuntu on a USB drive (AKA USB Stick or Thumb drive or Flash drive) or USB hard disk drive with persistent mode. This means that you can boot from a USB drive and keep customisations such as keyboard layout, numlock, preferences, additional packages saved on the drive. This can be done using linux or windows [00:11] TheMozart, it's really very simple - if you "install" (which is not really installing) by making the USB key the same as a live CD, it'll take as much as a live CD takes (around 700MB) - if you actually *install Ubuntu*, that's bigger than 1GB [00:11] I wonder how come this Ubuntu only needs 2GB, but exutux claims Ubuntu needs 4GB? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-ubuntu-10-04-on-flash-drive-using-windows/ [00:11] i don't think there's more to say about this [00:11] /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Metaxa xbcscitawyqd [00:11] hi. im browsing http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/allpackages sometimes behind a package i can read "univserve". so i think that means, that the "universe" packages includes are all other packages of the same app .. is that right? [00:11] hello some one help me plis? [00:11] LjL Yes I understand.. so can I install it from LiveCD onto my 2GB stick? [00:11] see how i can see rmvb on backtrack 4 r1?? [00:11] TheMozart: define install. [00:11] Metaxa: Change your password. [00:12] LjL pressing "install" [00:12] Metaxa: you just broadcasted your password [00:12] I can'y figure this thing out [00:12] TheMozart: no. [00:12] Thats not the password. [00:12] I happen to have a free unallocated, unpartitioned 10 gigs on my drive, how can I make ubuntu use those in the installer? [00:12] Metaxa: Don't put the space in front of /msg [00:12] LjL then how come this version Ubuntu works on 2GB? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/put-ubuntu-10-04-on-flash-drive-using-windows/ [00:12] Pici: how's that work then? [00:12] TheMozart: you know why. stop trolling. [00:12] nsd: Its the verify key that you get after you've registered your nick. It only works if you're already identified to your account. [00:13] LjL will installing from LiveCD onto my 8GB USB stick work? [00:13] TheMozart: yes. [00:13] Pici: Ah. [00:13] hi. im browsing http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/allpackages sometimes behind a package i can read "univserve". so i think that means, that the "universe" packages includes are all other packages of the same app .. is that right? [00:13] LjL I have no idea why.. and it seems you cannot explain it to me [00:13] is there something in ubuntu that allows dynamic libraries to be specifically mapped at runtime ? [00:13] I happen to have a free unallocated, unpartitioned 10 gigs on my drive, how can I make ubuntu use those in the installer? [00:13] friends can helpme plis? i install backtrack 4 r1 but i can see rmvb [00:13] for example: when running tcpdump, use custom libpcap library instead of the default [00:13] ZeroZiat: go to manual mode on the partitioning step and allocate it [00:13] jcdaemon85: this is not the backtrack channel [00:13] jcdaemon85: We do not support backtrack here. Please use their support channel: #backtrack-linux [00:13] jcdaemon85: go to #backtrack-linux [00:13] TheMozart: LiveCD's use a read only compressed "squashfs" filesystem. It's compressed so that they can fit everything onto a single CD. Squashfs is always read only, even on flash drives, so you can't use it for a complete (upgradeable) install. [00:13] LjL if I run the Ubunti LiveCD and choose INSTALL at the desktop.. will it install Ubuntu onto my 8GB USB stick and NOT alter or touch my hard drive? [00:14] like /etc/libmap.conf on freebsd [00:14] tanks [00:14] Pici: when i do /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER Metaxa xxxxxx, it returns back unknown command, i'm using empathy [00:14] TheMozart: i already answered that [00:14] maco: I really don't get it, I can select that space but no idea if it will use it, or if I have to format it into something. [00:14] Jordan_U: Thanks for solving my wifi problem and my hdd problem earlier. :) [00:14] Jordan_U: so how do I install Ubuntu if I cant from the desktop livecd? [00:14] Trashi: Not exactly. This should explain it better: http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components [00:14] LjL I missed your answer,, repeat please [00:14] ZeroZiat: You're welcome. [00:14] [00:56:47] 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 [00:15] ZeroZiat: in manual mode? add a partition in that space. pick a format (ext3 or ext4 are the norm, ext4 is default in auto-partitioning). set the mount point to / and then itll be the system partition for ubuntu [00:15] LjL so you are guessing? [00:15] TheMozart: You should have enough room to do a normal Xubuntu install. [00:15] TheMozart: i can only say again, stop trolling. [00:15] maco: Oh, thanks! [00:15] TheMozart: i could also add, go insert the CD and try and stop wasting everybody's time. [00:15] LjL you are giving a lot of information based on your own assumptions and guesswork.. you seem to do that a lot... if you dont know the answers, then admit it and stop making things up as you go. [00:16] hehe [00:16] oh boy [00:16] TheMozart: i've admitted it almost exactly 20 minutes. now why don't you admit you are a troll and leave this channel? [00:16] *minutes ago [00:16] * drc ducks and covers [00:16] Pici: the problem is the following: i try to install libimobiledevices libraries inclusive utilities ... and i dont know the name of the package which includes all libraries, programs, utilities, etc. [00:17] Maybe you both should get a second opinion? [00:17] exit [00:17] 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? [00:17] LjL you fool a lot of beginners with your comments which are based on guessing and assumptions.. trying to big note yourself as an educated Ubuntu user.. but the reality is, most of what you say is not even accurate and you are just making it up as you go. [00:17] Trashi: You mean libimobiledevice-utils ? [00:17] adios amigos [00:17] interesting .) [00:18] Pici: ok i'll try that === Pythonic is now known as Python[away] [00:20] good nigth [00:20] hi [00:21] night Lankis [00:21] hi that it call ssh package on ubuntu ? [00:21] When I try to /msg NickServ , i get " unknown command , try using /help [00:21] hello aazert [00:21] hiow that it call ssh package on ubuntu ? [00:21] Oh, inside the ubuntu chat thing? Yeah, it sucks. [00:21] yes [00:21] well, i think it does, there's no /msg, how am I supposed to identify? [00:22] I finally registered by typing it into the nickserv window [00:22] but know I can't get that window back [00:22] can i mount a MU server on ubuntu? [00:23] Metaxa: perhaps: /query nickserv [00:23] unknow command [00:23] hum... [00:23] can i mount a MU server on ubuntu? aazert [00:24] There must be a better client for ubuntu, I guess. [00:24] or get wine with mIRC? i'm a horrible guy, I know [00:24] * LjL slaps ZeroZiat around with a large trout [00:25] can i mount a MU server on ubuntu? aazert Metaxa [00:25] it's a shared feeling [00:25] Metaxa: what you trying to do? [00:25] LANKIS: i'm an extreme novice, don't want to lead you [00:26] exutux: Verify my registration [00:26] Using Empathy [00:27] Metaxa: /msg nickserv info Metaxa [00:27] akous? [00:27] can i mount a MU server on ubuntu? exutux [00:27] exutux: From Empathy it gives me " unknown command try using /help " [00:28] uhm i don't know empathy sorry [00:28] Metaxa: Empathy? It has a lovelace factor of +10 for IRC (it knows almost no IRC commands)...I'd try another IRC client [00:28] LANKIS: I don't think any of us know what a 'MU server' is [00:28] I have a webcam that registers as Bus 001 Device 005: ID 058f:3820 Alcor Micro Corp in lsusb. When I run guvcview I get this error The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation). Any ideas on what is causing the problem? The linux uvc page shows this chipset as supported [00:28] exutux: " /msg " is not a recognized command on my client aparently [00:28] Metaxa: I use Pidgin and it works fine. I suggest it for IRC. [00:28] interesting [00:28] Metaxa: try /quote [00:29] Metaxa: telepathy is not a real irc client :P [00:29] Pici Mu server is game online [00:29] Metaxa: /quote nickserv info Metaxa [00:29] Metaxa: I use Pidgin because I also IM a lot. If you want *just* IRC then you could try XChat or iirc [00:29] hello there [00:29] Metaxa: Pidgin, xchat, others can suggest other real IRC clients [00:30] during a installation i have to write Yes each time, how to avoid that ? [00:30] Metaxa I mean irssi not iirc [00:30] Pidgin sux for irc :/ [00:30] Thanks folks. I'll try one of the others, wanted to give the default program a shot [00:30] Metaxa: or /ns info Metaxa [00:30] Metaxa: but I'd NOT recommend GNOME-Xchat [00:31] Metaxa: but i think that only /help give you some advice [00:31] Gnome don't have anything like konversation? [00:32] Pies: Have you tried empathy? I don't know if it supports IRC though -- for that, I use xchat-gnome [00:33] empathy sux for irc just like pidgin [00:33] empathy uses IRC, yeah, and it sucks [00:33] both looks nice [00:33] but none of them fully support irc [00:33] I anyway use weechat [00:33] have only to write something, to get notifications via notify [00:34] hmm [00:34] ane get plugin to hide joins/leaves... [00:34] normally it isn't problem, but here... [00:37] How can I delete .Trash-1000 on my USB thumb drive? [00:38] boa noite [00:38] starcoder, umm... same way you delete anything else? [00:38] Nevermind, I got it. It lied about what the device name was. [00:38] Starminn, I would try gksudo nautilus then open the drive and try deleteing it that way [00:38] I was wondering if anyone could help with a question about the /etc/issue file ? [00:38] Starminn, or if the drive is empty you could use /system/administration/disk utility [00:39] coz_ psusi: Nah, I ran "sudo rm -r /media/4.1\ GB\ Filesystem/.trash-1000/* but it said nothing like that existed. Then I realized it's not actually 4.1 GB Filesystem but is instead 1842-7742 and that did it [00:39] Starminn, oh ok [00:39] coz_: Yep, silly me. ;) [00:40] Starminn, hey it happens :) [00:40] does anyone know about /etc/issue ?

[02:16] adminewb: no, just trying to interpret SAR output [02:16] lighta: I don't have a suggestion, but a better way to ask this (just so it's more in plain-English) is "How do I retrieve a file that was overwritten?" (BEcause what you're talking about is overwriting it sounds, so just use "overwritten" instead of the long example lol) [02:16] anybody having problems installing programs from Software Center: xchat and a couple of other things today said coming from "Unauthorized sources" then didn't install, but terminal install worked fine [02:16] ChogyDan, infact the dev half-made everything here.... its rather annoyin.

[02:20] starminn: thanks [02:20] BlkSvr: seems wasteful but also seems like the most reliable solution. The wiki FromLinux page has instructions to avoid it, but it also looks to avoid 75% of the installer and the autoconfiguration that comes with it [02:21] BlkSvr: btw, apt-get uses regexp so you want to be using 'apt-get purge apache.*' [02:21] agliodbs: sar system monitor?

[02:23] Ampelbein, its not broken , its just not uninstalling stuff. And this isnt ubuntu. its a ubuntu offshoot made for pen-testing. I plan to strip it down package by package === sun_ is now known as Guest60068 [02:24] Ampelbein, till its just the pentest tools and bassic system utilities [02:24] which flavor are you talking about?? [02:24] BlkSvr: why not go the other way round and use debootstrap to install a minimal system and go from there? [02:24] BlkSvr: seems way easier than what you are doing now. [02:24] Ampelbein, cus the dev didnt put that option in. [02:25] what OS are you talking about BlkSvr and Ampelbein? [02:25] Ampelbiel: Gnacktrack 5. [02:25] interesting [02:25] bo_kane, i tried putting the tools into ubuntu, but this is infact easier (surprisingly) [02:26] which is easier? [02:26] installing gnacktrack or the tools? clarify :P [02:26] ..why not just add a gnacktrack ppa or request such a rep/o [02:26] *repo? [02:26] bo_kane: installing gnack, ripping it down to the bassics, then installing ubuntu and linux mint meta packages over it. [02:27] oh cool [02:27] ..is it nearly identical to backtrack in terms of programs? [02:27] bo_kane: tried it, for some reason half of it dosent install and the half that dose wont go into the gnome menu. [02:27] hm [02:27] bo_kane: pretty much, but the dev did a horrible job of it, its only good as a live cd. [02:28] yeah thats how most small projects are these days [02:28] pushing it out as fast as possible to foster interest in the project [02:28] BlkSvr: your best bet is to ask the developer what he did, because I think this is severely off-topic here in #ubuntu. [02:28] Ampelbien: its all the same as ubuntu as far as what im doing (package management) [02:28] My lucid installation is behaving oddly: at random long intervals, my files&folders acquire emblems for no apparent reason, that can't be removed. Other emblems on these can be added/removed ok. Ring any bells anyone? [02:29] BlkSvr: just because it uses apt-get doesn't make it the same. [02:29] if this were facebook i would "like" that comment haha [02:29] Ampelbien: but using the same version of dpkg as 10.10 , the same synaptic manager, even the same software center dose. [02:30] last update broke my nfs: dmsg has message "svc: failed to register lockdv1 RPC service (errno 97)" How do I fix this? [02:30] BlkSvr: it is still off topic as it isn't a official supported release. noone knows what the developer did when even such simple tasks as deinstalling packages doesn't work anymore. [02:31] so anyone know how to fix busybox boot issues? [02:31] Ampelbein: it dose work, ive had simpliar problem on ubuntu itself, apache is a "virtual package" or whatever. [02:31] similar* [02:31] ok ubuntu wouldnt start after i installed along side win7, so I reformatted the drive ubuntu was on, grew it big again for win7, now when I boot I get something that says grub... using ubuntu on cd to get in here to find out what I need to do to remove grub and have my system boot into win7, btw I have no win7 cd...... help === putra is now known as wirabumi [02:32] ubuntu_, grub overwrit your bootloader, if you get rid of it, you wont be able to boot at all. [02:32] ive had a couple reboots where ive loaded up into busybox and afterwards cannot get past basic boot scripts on both normal and rescue boots [02:32] BlkSvr: like I said, that's broken. there is no apache package in the official repository. [02:33] Hi. Can someone tell me how to change my computer's name? The name is too long right now and it takes up a long string when I am using the terminal. === PetePorty is now known as Practical [02:33] ubuntu_, try using wubi [02:33] StevenX: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2732/ubuntu_how_to_change_computer_name/ [02:33] delete your current install or make it smaller then use wubi to reinstall. windows sees it as an uninstallable program [02:33] stevenx, google [02:34] Ampelbein, nothing is broken, he used a differant source. As far as i know, changing sources dosent break anything unless your an idiot with it. [02:34] thanks Starminn [02:34] !google | bo_kane [02:34] bo_kane: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [02:34] bo_kane: huh? [02:34] got an old dos box i added to my network. it's setup with a nic that supports netbeui. i'm running the Workgroups add-on for DOS. [02:34] okay [02:34] can ubuntu run samba supporting netbuei ? [02:34] bo_kane: Or if you have to be sarcastic, then at least LMGTFY them. ;) [02:34] there is this program called wubi [02:35] IKNOWRIGHT [02:35] i love that [02:35] anyways [02:35] BlkSvr: He is not saying that it would break something, he is just saying that the packages are not fully, if at all supported by canonical/ubuntu, so we cant provide support - therefore its offtopic [02:35] wubi is a program you can use on windows to install ubuntu variants onto your harddrive AS windows programs [02:35] so, [02:35] DrMax: errno 97 is EAFNOSUPPORT and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1431118 says you can disable ipv6 to make the message go away [02:35] if something goes wrong, you just hop on over to winblow$ and uninstall as you wish [02:35] BlkSvr: different source = not ubuntu anymore = not supported here [02:36] jasonn: but you CAN provide support for your offical package manager, which is not broken or tamperd with, and is simply giving an error it would give with a virtual package from the main repo. [02:36] exar : hmm thx... so NFS stopped supporting IPv6 suddently? [02:36] if i knew of such a package i would lay it down for you, and with 35 thousand + packages, there probably is one in there. [02:36] well, rpc/portmap [02:36] its also helpful in that you can set the size of the ubuntu install, however, the max is 30gb, which is a bit of a limiting factor but sounds good for you in that you want to keep windows larger [02:36] as such it IS supported by this session. [02:37] NOW. may we stop stalling for time and pushing this off, and put our heads together to help a fellow member of the community. [02:37] Was that helpful, ubuntu_ ? [02:37] hi [02:37] if i installed libreoffice .deb form their website then i will not get automatic updates for it, right? [02:37] DrMax: I just did a quick google search of your error message. I don't know what caused the error to start popping up for you. Sorry. [02:37] this should be an issue of what is and isnt yours to help with, this should be the issue of a member in trouble, and as such it is your obligation, nay your duty, to help such a member if you are a person who is inclined to do so. [02:37] correct [02:38] if you WANT updates, install the ppa as per their instructions [02:38] personally, i would add it as they update more often than the ubuntu project [02:38] bo_kane, 'whose' instruction? i only found that on omgubuntu. [02:38] !who | bo_kane [02:38] bo_kane: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [02:38] BlkSvr: I think the virtual message is misleading you. It just means that it isn't installed. You are going to have to remove those menu links through a means other than apt-get I think [02:38] now, can we stop pushing off things we dont know about, and learn together about the system we use. [02:38] Abhijit, probably better to find a PPA for it [02:38] exar : last kernel upgrade [02:38] coz_, yeah okay [02:38] Abhijit, but as I recall...doing it your way there were update [02:38] ChogyDan, but there is an icon, and experance is telling me that means somthing it providin that icon. === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [02:38] coz_, :-o how? [02:39] Sorry for the horrid typing, got myself all worked up. [02:39] Abijit, google "libreoffice ppa" [02:39] Abhijit, here is a ppa I believe that is working [02:39] !google | bo_kane [02:39] bo_kane: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. [02:39] * Abhijit is newer!!! [02:39] BlkSvr: then use 'dpkg -S ' to find out what package it belongs to [02:39] :P [02:39] BlkSvr: you are getting the package/update from a third party - its like getting a ford car, getting the motor on the black market, and complaining to ford that it doesnt work [02:39] BlkSvr: you gotta ask the dev how s/he is managing that icon. S/he may not have used a package [02:39] Abhijit, I dont recall using the deb from their site and how it updates but I do recall it updating somehow buts its been a while since I tried again [02:39] well i google it for you, abhijit, BlkSvr [02:39] oops [02:39] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/install-libreoffice-ppa-ubuntu/ [02:40] there you are [02:40] bo_kane, no i found it already. [02:40] wow... [02:40] exar : so I'm a bit puzzled since the only thing I did was apt-get update/upgrade, reboot ... I did not change configurations manually [02:40] ChogyDan, which is lovely because the dev is dead as far as i know. never responds to e-mails. [02:40] coz_, ok then i go for ppa [02:40] bo_kane, thanks [02:40] Abhijit, hold on I think there is an "official" ppa looking now [02:40] no problem [02:40] just make sure you do a sudo apt-get update [02:40] BEFORE you try to add libreoffice [02:41] Abhijit, here you go https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa [02:41] coz_, hes good [02:41] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice [02:41] coz_, ok [02:41] ok [02:41] Jezz, support teams are worse then warrenties... you change one little thing... "NOT OUR PRODUCT, GO AWAY!" ... >.< [02:41] Hi all can i do a server install from a desktop iso? or just a minimal install and install what i need or remove what i dont etc? [02:41] this is my new system and now i cant ctrl shift v - that is paste - to terminal~! [02:41] help [02:42] halitus, try ubuntu JeOS [02:42] its EXTREMELY lightweight, and can easily be run from a virtual box application [02:42] halitus: http://www.ubuntu.com/server [02:42] Abhijit, mm that's odd,, this is ubuntu 10.10 ? [02:42] Abhijit, check your keyboard layout [02:42] Lucid is behaving oddly: at random long intervals, some files&folders acquire emblems for no apparent reason, that can't be removed. Other emblems on these can be added/removed ok. Ring any bells anyone? [02:42] coz_, lucidc 6 bit [02:42] the only reason i ask is because my banwidth is low [02:42] BlkSvr, its usa [02:42] and dont want to download another iso [02:42] abhijit, yaquake and tilda packages allow you to use a key binding to open terminal [02:42] Abhijit, hmm, no idea then. [02:43] ah i see, halitus [02:43] bo_kane, not to open the terminal, to paste to terminal [02:43] Abhijit, doest ctrl+alt work with other keybindings? [02:43] halitus Well look at the link I gave you and see what is there and what isn't there compared to Desktop. [02:43] BlkSvr, ok [02:43] oh abhijit i see [02:43] Abhijit, rather shift + ctlr [02:43] Starminn, cheers will do [02:44] halitus: That way you can use your Desktop .iso and make it exactly like a server [02:44] Abhijit, are you running compiz? [02:44] BlkSvr: pastebin 'dpkg -l apache*' and we can tell you what part of it you still have installed [02:44] coz_, i dont done anything. its new system. [02:44] I'm running 10.04 Lucid. I recently set up my wireless to use openDNS on a specific wireless network. I deleted all the information, but it still seems to be using openDNS to filter things I don't want filtered. Is there a way to reset my entire, system-wide resolve.conf so that it's like a fresh install? [02:44] Starminn, yeah i thought that would be the case but how do i limit what gets installed while im installing it? [02:44] :-o [02:44] coz_, [02:44] coz_, shift ctrl worked!!!!!!!!!!!! [02:44] :-) [02:44] Abhijit, there you go [02:45] Ampelbein: just did that 30 second ago, had to > /root/Desktop/list it. theres alot. [02:45] halitus: I don't think you can. Maybe the alternate CD? But that'd be another download. [02:45] hmm fair enough ill jsut give it a ago [02:45] if its avaialble why not just pay for a server hosted by someone else? [02:45] bo_kane: ima dumbass when it comes to this stuff.. I installed ubuntu along side win7 a week back selecting half my hard drive. ubuntu has never worked, when I would try to select it from the menu I would get kernel panic -- not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown block 0.0 and tried to figure that out in here... a week later in an attempt to just forget ubuntu, I used gparted to format the drive back to ntfs, then grew it, now I get grub [02:45] > thats it... need to fix mbr, dont have recovery cd so thats my story [02:45] BlkSvr: then do 'dpkg -l apache* | grep ii' [02:46] halitus: If you can, I'd do that server and you're done inmstantly but if not, just do what you wanted to do. [02:46] ah i see [02:46] ubuntu_, see if you can delete all ubuntu/grub stuff from inside win7 === CaptHowdy_ is now known as CaptHowdy [02:46] and if you still want ubuntu use wubi [02:47] BlkSvr: or even better 'dpkg -l *apache* | grep ii' [02:47] ubuntu_: if you can get to windows 7, try EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 [02:47] bo_kane: Windows has issues seeing Linunx filesystems. He'd be better off using a LiveCD. [02:47] cant get into win7, thats my problem, using ubuntu live cd to get in here [02:47] I need some help. I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit on an AMD64 computer, yet I don't seem to understand partitioning for it. I do not want to erase my entire hard drive. [02:47] Ampelbein, you mean grep i right? not ii. [02:47] BlkSvr: no, I mean 'ii' [02:47] starminn, it sounds like he needs to remove ubuntu to give priority to win7 [02:47] i get nothing/ [02:47] in which case he can do that via simple win7 partition tools [02:48] I had 32 bit on my desktop, and it's install process was great. I do not know how to partition this one correctly to not screw it up. [02:48] bye [02:48] :/ * [02:48] if i am understanding properly [02:48] Mios: For Ubuntu you need an ext* partition mounted at "/" (root) and a 2GB swap. [02:48] Mios: WAIT [02:49] I know this. I dont... *Waits* [02:49] BlkSvr: that means that you don't have anything installed with apache in it's name [02:49] Mios: if youre feeling ambitious, you can try zfs ^.^ [02:49] mios: whats your ram, make your swap be 2 times the size of your ram. [02:49] ubuntu_: I would just reinstall Ubuntu. Grub needs a few files on the Ubuntu install to function, and unless you can reinstall the win7 bootloader, you are stuck with grub, eh? [02:49] My RAM is 3 GB. I shall make a 6 gig Swap file. [02:49] And why try zfs? [02:49] Ampelbein: then why did i get such a big list for dpkg -l apache* ? [02:49] you can use bootrec.exe to restore the mbr [02:49] because of its speed [02:49] nvm i got somthing [02:50] and its just interesting and cool to mess around with, not to mention geek cred [02:50] BlkSvr: because that also lists uninstalled, but available packages [02:50] but only when i used i [02:50] not ii [02:50] Mios: do you want to overwrite the 32-bit Ubuntu installation with the 64-bit Ubuntu installation? [02:50] Geek cred or compatibility. [02:50] Do want the latter. [02:50] Mios: sounds like its gonna be a reinstall then [02:50] I just got this laptop, which is 64 bit. The 32 bit is on my desktop. I do not want to overwrite Windows 7. [02:50] Ampelbein: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/574260/ [02:50] hi all, im trying to boot my system using the amd64 10.10 disc, when i boot it says "can not mount /dev/loop0" and drops me to busy box. I've tried setting the HD to ACHI, raid and ide, all the same results'\ [02:50] Hi, I wonder if someone can point me in the direction of a fix, "passwords and encryption keys" isn't opening when I click it from the preferences menu in Ubuntu 10.10, and I can't figure out why. Any ideas? [02:50] i dont think you can just upgrade from 32 to 64 [02:51] How do I reset my DNS servers to use whatever the ISP I'm on is using? I want to stop using openDNS. [02:51] gotta run [02:51] bye all [02:51] I know it's a reinstall, I just got this laptop... 7 hours and 30 minutes ago. [02:51] BlkSvr: that's a list of packages that are not installed. [02:51] Firefishe, usually if you remove opendns and just leave it on default it will use that [02:51] Firefishe, opendns may be setup from the router not just on the comp [02:52] Firefishe: how did you install it? [02:52] Ampelbein: Hmm looks like my gut is wrong ill gedit the .desktop file to see wheres it calling the shots from [02:52] if you are using the Ubuntu installer, you should be able to have it automatically resize your windows 7 partition on the new laptop with a pretty slick GUI [02:52] hi, i am using ubuntu 10.10 , latest patches applied. when i connect a sansa clip player, RHYTHMBOX sees it , and i can eject it from there. Why doesn't it show up on my desktop like when i plug in a lacie drive, or a sd card ? [02:52] I am using the Installer. The GUI seems to be replaced with a "HEY! YOU NEED SKILLZ TO DO THIS!" for this one. [02:52] BlkSvr: read up on 'man dpkg-query' to find out why you want ii. [02:52] Did i download the wrong version?? [02:52] I, however, do not remember my skillz to do that. [02:52] alisalaah: That might explain why I can't get to certain sites, but I seem to remember I was able to get to them before I started using the openDNS name server addresses. The thing is, I've deleted everything from all files previously changed. [02:52] The z is unnecessary, I know. [02:53] Mios: well even if you have to manually partition, the process is not that hairy [02:53] Firefishe, check your router's dns settings [02:53] Ampelbein: Mabey later, gotta get this system running tonight. If i dont , tommorow all hell breaks lose. [02:53] usually 192.168.1.1 or 0.1 [02:53] alisalaah: This is a public wi-fi area. [02:53] Hooray, I just noticed GParted. [02:53] Do they use OpenDNS? [02:53] alisalaah: I don't know. [02:53] or you were abel to on tehir wifi before you chnaged to opendns? [02:53] alisalaah: Yes, at least, I believe so. [02:54] Mios: but there should be a 3-radio-button list where the options are the equivalent of: 1. Install Ubuntu alongside other operating systems, 2. Blow everything else away, and 3. Manually partition [02:54] Exar, there are two options. Delete Frakkin' Everything, and Specify Partitions Manually. [02:55] alisalaah: How can I tell what DNS server is being used on the network right now? [02:55] if ubuntu automounts devices, would they all appear as icons on the desktop? [02:55] Mios: Then getcha geeky glasses on and read about partitions, your about to learn how computer software devides physical media :) [02:55] hi all, im trying to boot my system using the amd64 10.10 disc, when i boot it says "can not mount /dev/loop0" and drops me to busy box. I've tried setting the HD to ACHI, raid and ide, all the same results'\ [02:55] Firefishe, http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/05/howto-use-opendns-on-ubuntu.html [02:55] Firefishe, that tutorial has some good step by steps [02:56] Firefishe, maybe yo ucould try Google DNS servers, but use that ttorial to find it [02:56] Mios: weird. well, specify partitions manually. Right-click the biggest the NTFS partition, select change, and change the size of the partition [02:56] or leave blank to deaults should use the providers DNS [02:56] Doing so, Exar. [02:56] he [02:56] Okay, time to strip this (inset saucy curse word here) [02:56] insert* well that typo ruined it. [02:56] brb, gotta reboot this and chroot in, time for the fun part. [02:56] if i'm compiling a program that's not in the repos where should i put the source folder [02:57] panfist: it usually goes into /usr/local/src [02:57] panfist: ~/CODEZ [02:57] nichos, just a stab in the dark, but did you check the iso against a md5 ? [02:57] Exar, does Pastebin have an equivalent to an image hosting thing? It seems that I have no ability to resize anything. [02:57] panfist, in your home dir. [02:57] Lucid/GNOME is behaving oddly: at random long intervals, some files&folders acquire emblems for no apparent reason, that can't be removed. Other emblems on these can be added/removed ok. Ring any bells anyone? [02:58] alisalaah: Just read it. I read something similar on openDNS's site. I've deleted the `prepend ... [02:58] blasted fingers ;) [02:58] This would be easier for me if I was able to provide screenshots. [02:58] panfist, once you've compiled, make, make install (or whatever) you can del the source dir [02:58] blkdg what if the program is a service, why would i put it in my home dir? i know it's just the source, but still [02:58] Mios: that must be why the installer didn't have an option to install alongside other operating systems [02:59] it had already figured out it couldn't resize the partition [02:59] So I am screwed? [02:59] try booting live and using gparted [02:59] I am in live. [02:59] panfist, get the source, untar it in your home dir, enter the newly made dir, compile, exit the dir rm that dir. [02:59] oh [02:59] do you have it mounted? [02:59] alisalaah: Just read it. I read something similar on openDNS's site. I've deleted the `prepend ...' stuff from /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, as well as openDNS's name servers from the wireless account in the lan/wlan manager, so maybe the isp uses it, anyway. [02:59] Nope. [02:59] panfist: if you put it in /usr/local/src you can use it to 'make uninstall' later. Always a good idea to keep the src even after the executable is installed [03:00] yeeehaa, are you ready for it? time to do every Linux haters dream. [03:00] yeah i dont know why people are recommending to put it in home and delete it... i've screwed up too many systems doing crap like that [03:00] thanks th0r [03:01] blkdg i appreciate the suggestions, too [03:01] panfist, if you can see yourself recompiling for extra compile time features / optimization, then keep the source. it should be small in relation to the binary that you're making [03:01] OH. The largest partition is NTFS, does that make a difference? [03:01] alisalaah: There was one step that had me do this: `cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.auto -- What does that do, exactly? [03:01] panfist: old thinking knows what /usr/local is all about; new thinking (ubuntu) says to keep out of / and do everything in /home [03:01] yeah Ubuntu can resize NTFS no problem [03:01] i think make uninstall is the best part and i had no idea that was even possible before [03:01] Merda. I can't figure out what is messed up. D: [03:01] panfist: it's not always possible -- it depends on the package [03:02] exar: I'd also have 'em defrag the NTFS side before having gparted resize it, too. [03:02] yeah i guess the package would have to implement an uninstall script [03:02] yes that is safer, Firefishe [03:02] Firefishe, I got the system 7 hours ago, there is very little to defrag. [03:02] panfist: just an uninstall target in the Makefile usually, but some don't [03:02] Mios: @ yer pleasure, and/or risk, then, brotha! ;) hee [03:03] panfist, there's nothing you can screw up by rm'ing a source dir. think about it, worst case, you use more bandwith and get it again. /home is the safest place to compile [03:04] Mios: if you exit the installer and make sure the NTFS partition is not mounted (disk utility or just type mount at a prompt) you can see if gparted will let you resize it [03:04] Alright. [03:05] blkdg: maybe i'm not a typical ubuntu user; i don't want to be safe, i want to learn as much as i can about system administration. [03:05] brb [03:05] i'm doing this with the objective of learning how to manage a multiuser multihost environment [03:06] Mios: disclaimer: I'm not an op or official Ubuntu support or anything. I've been in this channel for about an hour. I came here to ask a question about bridging wireless networks, but at this point I don't think this is the right place for it. [03:07] Yeah, I've been disappointed by Ubuntu support before, but I figure it's the best place. Trolls in the tubes can screw up your system when you are trying to install stuff. [03:07] panfist, linux users are inherently safe. ubuntu users are linux users ... [03:08] Mios: what is the issue?

Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. [03:09] It won't let me partition my main drive to install Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. [03:09] Mios: are you running a live cd? [03:09] Yes. [03:09] blkdg: if you were going to install a program that's a service that could potentially be accessed by many users and hosts... [03:09] you would seriously untar to home, install and delete the source? [03:10] Mios: are you trying to dual boot? [03:10] hai all [03:10] am need you help. [03:10] j [03:10] milamber: Ye.s [03:10] Yes.* [03:10] Anyone have issues with the security issued kernek install? linux-image-2.6.32-29-generic-pae appears to have some debconf/perl issue. http://paste.ubuntu.com/574261/plain/ [03:10] Mios: are you following the tutorial? [03:10] am have used microsoft visio on my windows, but what tool like visio on ubuntu 10.10 any body can help me... [03:10] am have used microsoft visio on my windows, but what tool like visio on ubuntu 10.10 any body can help me... [03:10] No. I've installed Linux 12 times since my 13th birthday. [03:11] Should I be following it? [03:11] panfist, yes [03:11] back [03:11] Mios: when all else fails . . . [03:11] !dualboot [03:11] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [03:11] Hey if you want a program to run as an root from the GUI menu how do you go about getting Ubuntu to do that? IE if I want to run soemthing like wireshark without having to open up terminal how would that work? [03:12] Mios: try rebooting and run the installer directly instead of live [03:12] milamber: http://imagebin.org/140711 [03:12] see if the friendly resize option shows up [03:12] blkdg: well you're going to have to do more to convince me than just say '/home is the safest place to compile' [03:12] Mios: brb [03:13] Mios: r u trying to dual boot ?? [03:13] panfist, think about it: grab x.tar.gz, un tar it, enter x, read the README, probabbly do a make , make install, then once it's compiled and installed, I would DELETE the source. why on earth would i keep it??? [03:13] duongthaiha: Yes. [03:13] Mios: hehe that looks bad [03:13] Mios: does your partition have some kind of transparent encryption? [03:13] I don't know. I have 7 on that one. [03:13] Mios: how many partion in the harddrive that you have [03:13] what would happen if I manually delete /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/resolv.conf.auto ? [03:13] 4. [03:14] duongthaiha: Mios posted a screenshot [03:14] Mios: ohh can you use automatic partition [03:14] No I can not duongthaiha [03:14] exar: sorry just join the forum [03:14] Mios: do you need all 4 partition? [03:14] blkdg: because space is probably the cheapest resource in your computer? why not keep it? [03:15] panfist, one other thing, compiling a 'service' is the same as compiling an app. the make will dictate where things go unless there are compile time flags which let you over ride. [03:15] I most likely do not, duongthaiha [03:15] why cant i reboot properly ? right now i am using the live disk to access this because i cant access my computer any other way ... every time i attempt to reboot my system with ubuntu 10.10 installed it takes me to a grey config screen with a blue background and it asks me to select a language ... but it wont accept any key commands ... therefore i open my cd tray (from the tower) place this disk in the tray close and shutdown ... then i wait and turn it [03:15] back on and it will let me reinstall but when i go to reboot later on (after the install) i have to go through the process all over again ... i am very tired of reinstalling so many times and i just want it to be fixed [03:15] panfist, so you want to mirror every version / revision of said package? [03:15] Mios: you have a very small ntfs sda3 [03:15] am have used microsoft visio on my windows, but what tool like visio on ubuntu 10.10 any body can help me... [03:16] Mios: if you dont use them then delete it [03:16] Alright [03:16] I would be wary of that === lrs is now known as lrs__ [03:16] Mios: make sure you check if you need anything in that partition [03:16] blkdg: well, it depends on the package how much i would keep, but if it's huge than re-downloading can be a pain too...i like to collect things [03:16] those partitions could be being usedby the laptop manufacturer for restore or backup === lrs__ is now known as kn0w-b1nary [03:16] I plan to check [03:17] exar: if that was used oem then normally it at the beginning the the harddrive [03:17] blkdg: but you are right, service or app it really doesn't matter for the source... [03:17] exar: sda3 is somewhere at the middle which is a strange thing to have anyway [03:17] panfist, so then apply the same rule you just stated to where the compile occurs [03:17] panfist, /home ... [03:18] if you boot into windows to check, look at the administrative tools / computer management / disk management to see wtf is going on with your main windows partition [03:18] if it's encrypted or compressed or something [03:18] SDA3 is my recovery partition. [03:18] blkdg: i just think for a multi user system, if i was going to keep it at all, why my own home dir... [03:18] Mios: You could always wipe the entire drive, repartition manually an NTFS side and a ext4 (or what-have-you) side, then install ubuntu and then windows to their specific locations manually. [03:19] Do not want to get rid of that. [03:19] Mios: okie no problem can you give us a better screen of your harddrive [03:19] Firefishe: if this is a newer laptop, it can be a pain to get the drivers right for Windows [03:20] panfist, i would hazard a guess and say most people might keep kernel source, and that's seriously about it. [03:20] Mios: how's the manual working out? [03:20] exar: Well, if MIos's laptop came with a driver-recovery cd, there you go ;) [03:20] the manufacturer-installed operating system is usually filled with bloatware but the drivers are all the correct versions installed in the correct order [03:20] yeah I'm just saying it can be a crap shoot [03:20] panfist, how multiuser ready is ubuntu? [03:20] Mios: I had the similar problem when i install my ubuntu. I have to use gpartition to shink some space [03:20] panfist: in a multiuser system there are often several admins with access to the system. They would all have access to /usr/local, but would not have access to each other's /home [03:21] good point th0r [03:21] I'm having a hard time doing a remote desktop to a windows 7 machine. I tried it with rdp and vnc and nothing has worked. Any idea why? [03:21] mouse: any error message? [03:21] mouse: port forwarding in the appropriate places? [03:22] wow ... 1465 ppl here and no-one can help me ? [03:22] dingo: I think many may be afk [03:22] dingo: whats the situation [03:22] ahh [03:22] duongthaiha, Just that it can't connect. exar, is port forwarding done on my side or theirs? [03:23] syrinx ; i cant reboot [03:23] mouse: theirs [03:23] dingo: ok.... [03:23] exar, What do they have to do? [03:23] mouse: if they are behind NAT (a firewall) then they have to forward the server port to their server host [03:23] i printed it all up a bit if you dont mind scrolling its pretty involved [03:24] dingo: are you taking the CD out after installation? [03:24] exar : yes [03:24] exar, How would they do that? [03:24] mouse: ask them to forward port 3389 [03:24] mouse: router configuration [03:25] dingo: dual boot or no? [03:25] mouse http://portforward.com/ [03:25] syrinx; no [03:25] Crap. The small HP_TOOLS partition apparently contains my BIOS. [03:25] mouse: this is a very good website for port fowarding [03:25] That's asinine. [03:25] dingo, wireless keyboar or mouse? [03:26] blkdg: no on both [03:26] duongthaiha, exar, Ah I think that makes sense now. What happens if the person is at a university and doesn't have access to the router? [03:26] Mios: I doubt it's your actual BIOS, but I would keep it around [03:27] mouse: haha just forget it then university normally dont allow those thing [03:27] The problem is that I have 4 partitions. The others I am paranoid of getting rid of [03:27] dingo, and it accepts all commands during the install procedure? [03:27] how to register my name with irc/ [03:27] Mios: 4 partition in one harddrive? [03:27] Apparently, duongthaiha [03:28] hi just one question about wifi usb card is possible it will work in master mode (like Aces Point / AP) under ubuntu/linux while manufacturer says it works under windows in software AP mode .. no exactly sure what it means but just if someone has any idea [03:28] jilt: /join freenode and ask there [03:28] blkdg, yes its after install and during the next reboot after the intial that it messes up [03:28] Mios: should be ok my have 5 [03:28] duongthaiha, Yeah I was afraid of that. She went home for the weekend and I assumed that would be the perfect time but it still didn't work even after disabling the firewall. I didn't think to mess with the router at her parent's house. [03:28] jilt: err... /join #freenode and ask there [03:29] Mios: if you have a default small fat partition then leave it it normally oem [03:29] dingo, standard 32 / 64 bit install, not a server or a netbook or an alternate? [03:29] What is the command for looking up a domain name's ip numbers? [03:29] Mios if there in any thing with recover name also leave it [03:29] Mios: then shink some space from the windows partition [03:29] apoage: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers if you can figure out your manufacturer or chipset then this list will tell you the current capabilities of your device in linux [03:30] yes standard 32bit (i assume) desktop [03:30] on a desktop [03:30] The SYSTEM partition seems to contain a folder containing BOOT/en-US/bootmgr.exe.mui (And in the same folder memtest.exe.mui) and System Volume Information, along with a bootmgr file. In the SVI folder, there is a folder called EfaData, A file called LightningSand.CFD, and Tracking.log. In the EfaData folder there is SYMEDA.DB [03:30] SYMEFA.DB** [03:30] exar: thanks [03:30] drc:thanx [03:31] I am sick of unity for now. until it's bugs are worked out, I want to use gnome again, and there is no gnome-desktop related startup option. Any ideas? [03:31] Mios: howbig is system? [03:31] matt-vaio: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [03:31] It is... Hold on.

[03:33] all there is is Ubuntu Desktop Edition and Ubuntu Classic Version among others. xangua, neither work obv [03:33] Mios: can you post a full picture of the partitions [03:33] Yes I can. [03:33] Mios: its easier to visually see it :D [03:33] but it can't. i try to 'cat' the dump of mysql... it shows in binary [03:33] dingo, what do you mean , 'i assume' [03:33] blkdg, 32 bit install desktop edition [03:34] matt-vaio: 10.10 or 11.04a? [03:34] matt-vaio: classic¿ using natty¿ matt-vaio not supported here [03:34] is there any way i can restore this dump in ubuntu mysql?

[03:34] duongthaiha: http://imagebin.org/140716 [03:35] tried adding that package virtualbox-ose something but didn't change anything [03:35] penemue: install guest addition [03:35] penemue, Install the Guest tools [03:35] penemue, use the virtualbox that is supplied on the website, not OSE [03:35] OSE sucks. [03:35] Hi [03:35] guest additions I think i installed... well double clicked on the stuff on cd, didn't see what the terminal said cause it dissapeared after [03:35] I have a linux distro iso file I want to burn to cd but it's 800+ mbs and I want to make it smaller so I ran it in virualbox and uninstalled a few packages but they weren't permanently removed from the iso. How would I make it smaller? [03:35] Mios: can you shink the sda2 [03:35] i'll do it again from a terminal tomorrow (5 am here) [03:36] I am trying to enable the linux firewall as soon as the systems loads [03:36] No I can not, Duongthaia [03:36] can someone help me with this [03:36] thanks [03:36] Mios: encrypted??

[03:39] dingo, just rereading your original question. so you insert cd, boot, select install, wait, and then reboot with the cd in? [03:39] Mios: I really think you should try to resize the big 280GiB partition [03:39] I have tried, Exar [03:39] hello [03:39] It will not let me. [03:39] Mios: any error when you do it it windows? [03:39] Mios: I see you found Gparted. If you make sure it's unmounted, even Gparted won't do it? [03:39] Even Gparted won't do it. [03:39] blkdg, no the cd is long out of the tray by then ... [03:39] Mios, it might not work if you are running a partitioner inside linux or using unetbootin on the drive [03:40] it will lock it for safety [03:40] I am using a partitioner in a liveCD [03:40] and stay mounted. try using gparted on a flash... [03:40] oh, [03:40] And I have a bunch of warnings on it [03:40] Mios: see how it says mount point and it has text there? that text should not be there [03:40] any error messages? [03:40] Yes. A bunch of them, matt-vaio [03:40] dingo, when you hit restart now at the end of the installation, the cd ejects, right? [03:40] Mios: when that column is empty for sda2, try to resize it [03:40] Hello/ [03:41] !gparted | Mios [03:41] Mios: 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 [03:41] blkdg, this last time it happened after i had updated the system through the update manager [03:41] Mios: a buch of them mean very litter :P [03:41] Skype crashed, and I closed it, and it doesn't show in top, but whne trying to start skype it says "Another instance of skype may exist" [03:41] what do? [03:41] blkdg, yes that is correct [03:41] Mios: is that a warning of error? [03:41] just bought a hp g62 and the wifi RaLink RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe his having problems connecting/ staying connected/ slow connection [03:41] I happen to uninstall the remanents of evolution and therefore uninstalled the gnome panel.. I tried what ubbuttu said but when i type gnome-panel it the terminal gets attached to the panel and it also throws up GTK warning [03:41] anyone can help me with this kernel panic please? [03:41] It is a warning. [03:41] bin_bash: pkill skype [03:41] i am going to freak out [03:41] Mios: what is this warning about? [03:41] It seems to be like 5,000 warnings on one window, and I can not see all of them because of my asinine resolution. [03:42] I happen to uninstall the remanents of evolution and therefore uninstalled the gnome panel.. I tried what ubbuttu said but when i type gnome-panel it the terminal gets attached to the panel and it also throws up GTK warning [03:42] xangua: didn't work [03:42] And I can't copy them either. [03:42] i've installed the 7zip package but i can't open RAR files.. it says file type not supported [03:42] but i can open .7z files [03:42] dingo, did you change any settings during the installation ? [03:42] lea123: install ubuntu-desktop and don't uninstall what comes with it ;) [03:42] !rar | ruan [03:42] ruan: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [03:43] ruan: installed p7zip-full ¿ [03:43] Mios: are you sure that partition is not mounted to your live cd [03:43] When you press alt f2 you get the run application window. What's the terminal command for that? [03:43] dingo, did you check the iso you downloaded with md5 ? [03:43] i'll try p7zip full [03:43] only automatic login [03:43] ah, non-free rar module for p7zip [03:43] xangua: What do you mean ? [03:43] ruan: install p7zip-rar [03:44] i did so [03:44] ruan: you need unrar-free for up to version 2 and unrar for version 3, make sure multiverse is enabled for unrar [03:44] blkdg, now you have me lost ... the disk i have came from canonical through the mail [03:44] ruan: unrar-free [03:44] and yeah, now it works [03:44] p7zip-rar [03:44] thanks [03:44] dingo, sorry, one sec [03:45] hey can somebody give me a direct link to download wireshare? I tried googling, but they all lead to nothing. [03:45] blkdg, its ok im thankful you are helping no need to be sorry [03:45] well anyone can help me about that kernel panic? please. [03:45] ExplodingPiglets: http://media-2.cacetech.com/wireshark/src/wireshark-1.4.4.tar.bz2 [03:45] Okay, whoever wanted to know the errors. This screwed up and opened like 500 trash instances [03:45] http://imagebin.org/140717 [03:46] It took forever to fix. Those are the errors I can se [03:46] dingo, when folks grab disk image of ubuntu (*.iso) then should check that it downloaded properly by comparing the md5 checksum that ubuntu provides against the one that the downloader creates on their system. it allows the downloader to make sure the .iso is not corrupt [03:46] see [03:46] it's the unity bar. [03:46] Evolution seems to be the Internet Explorer application of Windows. Even though I uninstalled it ages ago it stil provides me the updates, patches and I cant just get rid of it [03:46] thanks exar [03:46] dingo, but you got yours in the mail....... [03:46] ExplodingPiglets: do you mean wireshark? [03:46] ExplodingPiglets: that's the source... if you want Ubuntu's version just type 'apt-get install wireshark' [03:46] oh [03:47] blkdg, yeah i was wondering how that applied to me [03:47] I had install ubuntu-desktop to get back my Gnome-Panel [03:47] dingo, was this a weird machine to start with ? did it boot windows? [03:47] Mios: wtf [03:47] Does anyone know how to kill a program if it's not listed in top? [03:47] My thoughts exactly, duongthaiha [03:47] Mios: seem you having a bad boy here [03:47] dingo, did you change any settings during the installation ? [03:47] bin_bash: ps aux | grep [03:47] blkdg, its an hp of somesort and was originally loaded with windows vista [03:48] Mios: do a disk check [03:48] dingo, did you change any settings during the installation ? [03:48] Hello anybody has any clue to uninstall evolution completely without having the Gnome-Panel uninstalled [03:48] blkdg, the only setting i changed was to automatic login [03:48] Mios: yup a disk check would be reasonable [03:48] In which OS? [03:48] dingo, install again, take away the auto login [03:49] Mios: run it in Win [03:49] Hi all. I'm trying to modify my .bashrc to set the title of terminator(but not gnome-terminal), but I'm not sure what to test for. [03:49] milamber: It says no such process [03:49] hi!

[03:50] good luck Mios [03:50] Mios: its worth it just a bit of bad luck [03:50] I've installed Ubuntu 12 times in 3 years, and this is completely screwed up. [03:50] dingo, maybe when X starts, there's a driver conflict, and that's locking your system? [03:50] blkdg, thats exactly what i wanted to avoid (another reinstall) ... but ill try again anyway ... anything else you can think of ? [03:50] Mios: should still run the check anyway just for windows run well [03:50] I don't know what the problem is. but liek, I think my skype name is still logged in [03:50] wtf === lea123_ is now known as lea123 [03:51] dingo, but just for trouble shooting purposes, reinstall and have it propmt you to log in, no auto login...

[04:55] evening all, I am having a problem with my 10.10 install reporting at boot time that there was an error mounting /boot (bad superblock) and will not boot unless I manually cancel out of the fsck process. My concern is that I have my /boot partition formatted as ext3 and somehow that is causing a problem. Has anyone run into this before and figured out a solution? [04:55] Ik how you could release the mbr back to windows over bsd, but I couldn't tell ye for linux [04:56] Ep1kMalware: English, please [04:56] though you may need a recovery utility [04:56] oops [04:56] Logan_WP: that is english.

Got a question about memory use reporting on Ubuntu/Linux. [04:57] do you have a boot-based recovery utility such as gag or UBCD to give back to windows that charming master bewt record. [04:57] blkdg, if you are still here i just wanted to say thanks because it seems to have worked [04:58] !ask | DSpair [04:58] DSpair: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [04:58] I have an application I have written which is highly multithreaded. When I look at the memory use of that application it shows it to be about 10x what I would expect. It seems to report the total memory usage as the sum of the threads. The threads all use the same memory space though. [04:59] Logan_WP: BSD has a way to release the mbr I'm wondering if linux does do. [04:59] s/do/to/ [04:59] s/to/too/ [04:59] am i missing a step after running update manager? it found and downloaded FF 2.6.14 but has not replaced 2.6.13 which came from the old Ubuntuzilla source. I removed Ubuntuzilla via Synaptic and reinstalled FF 3.6.14 but it still has not worked... any ideas? [04:59] Logan_WP: no.. [04:59] So, the question is, is there a bug in the way the memory use is reported for multithreaded apps in Linux? [04:59] "too" is an excess of something. [04:59] Ep1kMalware: it also means "also" [04:59] Logan_WP: that's "to". [05:00] /sigh [05:00] humf.. [05:00] ?

I have like a folder which has like over 30 [05:03] hi, im using ubuntu netbook. at boot i get "cannot connect to worker. connection refused.

[05:08] hai guy [05:08] bullgard: If my swap partition is a logical partition, instead of a primary, can I still use hibernation? [05:08] giiker, yeah, that looks like it will work [05:08] perhaps a different way to phrase this then: does anyone know why I would get boot time errors that my /boot partition is corrupt (bad superblock: magic number wrong), but a manual fsck after the bootup fsck has been bypassed shows the partition as clean? [05:09] undecim: Yes. [05:09] am need ask to you, any body know how make file cmh on ubuntu, or have some software / application for make the chm file [05:09] giiker, mv /folder1/ *.* newfolder .. right?

[06:09] let me read the man page [06:09] meanwhile, let's create a temporary mount folder [06:09] help, I've got two different systems with two different wifi cards and both run ubuntu 10.10 up to date as of tonight. Neither will connect to my WPA2-EAP-TLS access point, however, both systems will connect fine from within windows 7 [06:09] fallguy: Are you trying to auto-mount something on startup? [06:09] do sudo cd /mnt || mkdir /mnt [06:10] No... believe me, I dont even know how to auto mount! [06:10] what can I do to diagnose and repair this ? [06:10] kurtis: he's trying to get his ipod mounted [06:10] oh ok [06:10] but we're having trouble figuring out what the system is calling it, if at all. [06:10] fallguy: Did you check this out already? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [06:10] mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt': File exists [06:11] fallguy: ok that's good news :) [06:11] aarcane: Run lspci and see what the chipsets are. Then google it [06:11] I couldn't remember if linux has a /mnt folder or not. [06:11] first time tonight ;) hahaha [06:11] kurtis, they're two different chipsets exhibiting identical symptoms, I believe that rules out chipset specific. [06:12] kurtis: Have you tried connecting it with a wired conenction and having it grab the drivers for you? [06:12] how do i fix my problem [06:12] its annoying [06:13] aarcane: Not nessasarily. I've had trouble getting 3+ WIFI Chipsets working right in Ubuntu without a bunch of hacks/manual work [06:13] it all of a sudden stoped working [06:13] Ep1kMalware: It does have a /mnt folder, but it seems to use /media as its default mount point stuff. [06:13] Starminn: right on. [06:13] Secrets: Ask again, all on one line, that way people can help you more easily. [06:13] i don't know what happend maybe i deleted a drive if thats the case how do i get it back [06:13] my internet is wired and its not connecting [06:14] Starminn: I like /mnt for testing device mounts :) [06:14] on ubuntu [06:14] Starminn: haha yeah :) I'm actually using it right now, wired. I've googled and read a ton of stuff but it either should "Just work", "Will magically start working" or ... there's a few remedies that don't help [06:14] Secrets, I tried to help you but you're not answering my question. [06:14] it's a real puzzle.. the ubuntu page makes this out to be a snap [06:14] Ep1kMalware: Yeah, I was going to say that if I had to guess for a reason it even has /mnt to begin with is because it's what people are used to. *shrug* [06:14] i was eating [06:14] thats why [06:14] haha ok [06:14] and got my tabblet [06:14] !enter | Secrets [06:14] Secrets: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

In addition when I use System>Administrator>hardware drivers it comes up with drivers for my old graphics card. can anyone help me get new drivers and make ubuntu accept them? [07:15] fallguy: Well that's good. At least we know you have the latest package. That was EM's concern [07:16] gahf: If your old card was Nvidia as well, it's probably the same drivers [07:16] jussi: that user has the same host as the one just banned [07:16] yes, as i said earlier, i just downloaded and installed all this stuff for the first time today, so I was pretty sure it was the latest versions. [07:16] krtis it doesn't [07:16] blue_pearl, cli sudo update-grub [07:16] kurtis: if he has the package, and it's completely upgraded. then the only other obstruction I can see is perhaps maybe the ipod is locked with a password/pattern of some sort. [07:17] gahf: You could try going to Nvidia's site and using their drivers. They have Linux (probably Debian but maybe Ubuntu) [07:17] i.e. needs somebody to sign into the device. [07:17] iRabbit, ok i ran it [07:17] never had a password lock on this ipod touch, and disabled the autolock feature... it's on it's normal home screen as it is plugged in right now. [07:17] krutis where? [07:17] krutis it doesn't work [07:17] blue_pearl, reboot and let me know if it's back [07:18] Ep1kMalware: Yeah ... I don't really know. Someone could take him through watching the logs as he plugs in the device and stuff but it's going to be a lot of debugging [07:18] gahf: Goto nvidia.com [07:18] kurtis: if it where FreeBSD I'd be more knowledgable there. [07:18] iRabbit, here is the output if it helps anyway http://paste.ubuntu.com/574324/ [07:19] well guys have we hit a dead end?

[07:19] ok [07:19] iRabbit, no i have only 1 hdd its a laptop [07:19] fallguy: Yeah, I'm about all out of ideas without making a whole project out of it.

Otherwise, maybe try some of the "smarter" guys on Freenode #linux and even #debian? [07:20] of the output [07:20] Secrets: Ok, I'll check it out. [07:20] blue_pearl, alright. I had something similar happen to me... but unfortunately Windows was on another drive. I'm sorry but I'm lost.. perhaps someone with a bit more knowhow will pick up where I left off [07:21] OK I'll give it a shot, Kurtis. I've been googling the hell out of it all day long but I was coming up with the same pages you were. [07:21] SealedWithAKiss: you still there? is your problem solved?

[07:21] <_skpl> how can i reset the panels in gnome? [07:21] blue_pearl, you will probably end up editing your /boot/grub/menu.lst to add windows and point grub to the partitiion [07:22] Secrets: cool.

[07:24] Reco - it's as if nothing is plugged into the computer. The Ipod Touch is recharging, but the computer doesn't see it at all. [07:24] Guest: You might have to go into your Repositories and add the non-free ones [07:24] gahf: you can go to the nvidia website and download the latest linux drivers. but be warned that these drivers have not been tested by the Ubuntu community [07:24] blue_pearl, although I'm pretty sure this'll fail, have you tried mounting the Windows partition and running sudo update-grub? [07:24] I've tried different USB ports too [07:24] fallguy: rebooted the machine? [07:24] im running Ubuntu 10.04 [07:25] I rebooted it just before i came on here, but that was 2 hours ago.

[07:45] blue_pearl, I'm not sure about XP, but Vista and 7 had a recovery disc option [07:45] its a laptop [07:45] Secrets: ahh okay. That's weird it's not working all of the sudden. It seems like a hardware problem to me [07:45] perhaps iRabbit knows [07:45] MohammadAG, ok. will reinstalling the grub2 help in any way? [07:45] is there away to fix [07:45] Secrest: but I'm not the expert here so take that with a grain of salt [07:46] it [07:46] SealedWithAKiss: did you carry out the earlier steps? did you mount your filesystem and typed this in the terminal - mount | tail -l [07:46] grub doesn't seem to be broken on your system [07:46] Secrets: Not that I could really help you with. Sorry. You'd have to take it apart and hope that it's something simple and easy .... you could always buy a USB Network Adapter [07:46] MohammadAG, ok will try out chkdsk with xp cd....going to reboot now [07:47] k :) [07:47] that always drops out [07:47] MohammadAG, I know what now? [07:47] rigved, before I began following the tutorial I mounted /dev/sda7 to /mnt - I was considering chrooting into the partition to attempt the re-installation there. [07:48] iRabbit, if there's a way to run chkdsk without booting windows, anyway, he quit, for now [07:48] llutz_ when i use hardware drivers in system>administrator it won't work and won't let me re-configure my screen resolution [07:48] how do i disable wlan in ubuntu 10.10; i dont have a physical switch for my wlan on my laptop [07:48] MohammadAG, probably need to boot a recovery disk to do it [07:49] Thrawn: use wicd or network-manager [07:49] yeah, that's what I suggested [07:49] SealedWithAKiss: you are trying to install grub to a partition other than the MBR. that's nto advisable as you cannot boot into ubuntu unleass you specifically start grub [07:49] where can i set that in network manager? [07:49] gahf: cannot help you with that, i don't use any of those proprietary drivers [07:49] SealedWithAKiss: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda --recheck [07:49] Holly Crap ... I spent the last 2 days working on my WIFI and all I had to do is run rfkill :( [07:50] recognosco: where can i switch wlan off in network manager [07:50] Is there somewhere I can post that solution to my problem for Ubuntu 10.10? [07:50] gahf: seems it still uses the old nvidia-driver, try to deinstall it to use the free nouveau driver then. read wiki/forums how to do that (i have no clue about that) [07:51] kurtis: in the ubuntuforums. post is as a howto. but make sure that a similar post is not already existing [07:51] rigved, installation completed no errors reported. Reboot? [07:51] Thrawn: or just do - sudo ifconfig wlan0 down [07:51] !fstab [07:51] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [07:51] Thrawn: that works, right? === Inumedia_ is now known as Inumedia [07:52] Thrawn: in network manager, i think it is a checkbox that you uncheck [07:52] recognosco: the nm-applet still shows me wlan so and so available [07:52] SealedWithAKiss: reboot into the ubuntu on the hard disk. then run in the terminal - sudo update-grub. then you can boot into XP as well [07:53] recognosco: after typing sudo ifconfig wlan0 down [07:53] Does anyone here know how to uninstall nvidia drivers? [07:53] Thrawn: you want to tuen the device off? there is a switch for it on your computer? [07:53] Thrawn: or just uninstall the driver :D [07:53] rigved, I'm now in my Ubuntu partition, it booted immediately into it. There was no GRUB menu though. [07:54] recognosco: theres no entry of a wlan connection because im not connected to any, so i dont see anything to uncheck there [07:54] SealedWithAKiss: now run in the terminal - sudo update-grub [07:54] recognosco: i dont want to disable wlan just turn it off ^.- i still need it at times -. [07:54] recognosco: i started my question here by stating: there is no physical switch for my wlan -. [07:55] Hey, how to use socks5 with apt-get? I really need it. [07:55] Thrawn: sorry, didin't see that. so if the interface is down, what else do you need? [07:55] recognosco: kk nevermind, thx for hlp anyway [07:55] rigved, it isn't recognising Windows 7 it has added my old Vista entry again. That entry was manually created a while ago. Whenever GRUB updates it appears to keep including it. [07:55] rigved, or at least that's what I think it's doing. Reboot? [07:56] recognosco: my wlan is on but i want it off because it eats battery. sudo ifconfig wlan0 down didnt work [07:56] rigved, any particular key combination I need to press to display the GRUB menu? [07:56] webczat: use tsocks [07:56] Thrawn: right-click on the network icon. Enable Wireless should be enabled. Click on that. It'll disable your WLan. [07:56] SealedWithAKiss, have you run this script and posted here. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [07:56] rigved: genious :D thx :D [07:56] SealedWithAKiss: yes. after the motherboard logo has been displayed, keep the Shift button pressed. [07:56] nit-wit, yes. [07:57] hi there I am trying to install 11.04 powerpc+ps3 and am having some trouble on this step Configure the package manager I dont know what to put in those areas could some one please help me thanks [07:57] SealedWithAKiss, could you give me the pastebin [07:57] Thrawn: you are welcome [07:58] nit-wit: he'll be back. he's just checking if windows is booting or not [07:58] cool [07:58] it seems im not the only one exsprinceing the problem === jarek is now known as Guest14794 [07:59] hey how do you tell dkms to use multiple cores when building modules? [07:59] Secrets: if you think that it is a bug, then file a bug report [08:00] excuse me all [08:00] how to fix grub [08:00] my grub not show in boot menu [08:00] just my windows in boot menu [08:00] hmmm.../etc/dkms/framework.conf seems likely [08:00] !fixmbr > i4ba1 [08:00] i4ba1, please see my private message [08:00] How to use it when installed and configured? [08:00] i try sud apt-get install grub from live cd [08:01] and then sudo grub-update [08:01] and restart [08:01] but the grub still not show [08:01] its because its a live cd [08:01] i4ba1: ^^ check the pm by ubottu [08:01] hdmi audio, anyone have suggestions on making it work lol? [08:02] rigved what do you mean check the pm? [08:02] !fixmbr | i4ba1 [08:02] i4ba1: 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. [08:02] webczat: man tsocks ( LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libtsocks sudo apt-get cmd....) [08:02] i4ba1: use the RestoreGrub link [08:02] rigved, the GRUB menu displayed an old entry for Vista. Selecting this entry caused GRUB to take me into Windows Boot Loader. That displayed an error message saying \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr was missing or corrupt. [08:03] rigved, why would Windows Boot Manager mention GRUB? [08:03] SealedWithAKiss: win 7 has it's own boot partition. grub should have booted into that [08:03] what is the ubuntu achieve mirror directory for 11.04 powerpc+ps3?Anyone know ? [08:04] SealedWithAKiss: you did mention that you had made manual boot entries in windows. maybe that's what it was showing. [08:04] rigved, indeed using an application called EasyBCD. I suppose it isn't the concern of an Ubuntu channel anymore. [08:05] drat, doesn't seem to be in there [08:05] SealedWithAKiss: wait. open System > Administration > Disk Utility [08:05] i'm pretty sure you can do it [08:05] SealedWithAKiss: can you see the 100 MB win 7 boot partition? [08:06] i suspect it's some global-ish setting that probably affects the kernel build system in general [08:07] rigved, I see a 206 MB Ext3 boot partition. [08:08] SealedWithAKiss: no, that not the one. it should be a 100 MB partition, just before the Win 7 partition === tukangsusu is now known as Vladislas [08:09] how come ubuntu-mono-dark is light and ubuntu-mono light is dark? [08:09] ruan: for on light/dark backgrounds, i think [08:09] maco: oh ok [08:09] ruan: It's *for* light and *for* dark [08:09] rigved, I have 225 GB NTFS, 206 MB Ex3 /boot, Extended 95 GB, 88 GB Ext4, 3.8 GB Swap and 3.1 GB swap. [08:10] /msg nickserv identify samos123 [08:10] ohh [08:10] :P [08:10] SealedWithAKiss: one moment [08:10] I've been there. [08:10] samos: Change your password? [08:10] rigved, sure. [08:11] its not my password luckily haha [08:11] but still stupid [08:11] i even copy pasted wrong place and wrong pass [08:11] samos, just change the password. [08:12] samos, perhaps to something a little more complex - samos 1234 for example. [08:12] :) [08:12] its not my real pass have a try :P [08:12] in my flashdisk drive i can't paste the folder/file but can copy? [08:13] it strange for me [08:13] hi [08:13] i4bai You have read permissions but not write? [08:13] i4ba1: do you have write permissions? === robins is now known as robinsmidsrod [08:14] how do i change the permissions [08:14] i4ba1: Right-click "Properties"->Permisisons [08:14] chmod === Inumedia__ is now known as Inumedia [08:14] right click on usb media? [08:15] On the drive,yeah. [08:15] i4ba1, chmod +w filename [08:15] i4ba1: or a folder [08:15] SealedWithAKiss: it seems like you do not have the Win 7 boot partition. I think the Win 7 cd provides a repair option. try that to create the Win 7 100 MB boot partition. then use the restore Grub method to install grub. boot into ubuntu, run update-grub. then you should be fine. you should be able to boot into both OSs. this is the setup i have (but both ubuntu and windows have their own hdd, :) ) [08:15] i try chmod -R 766 /media/name of usb [08:15] but still not success [08:15] -r removes read permissions, doesnt it? [08:15] i4ba1: flashdisk with vfat/ntfs? chown/chmod won't work, use mount-options [08:15] gid/uid/umask [08:15] -r RECURSIVE [08:16] ah [08:16] 755* [08:16] you see i posted my username instead of pass :P [08:16] rigved, I don't have a Windows Recovery CD. I have a USB, but it's only 1GB in size. Assuming I obtain a larger USB drive, I could make it bootable and use that right? [08:16] i4ba1: I don't think 766 is a valid mod [08:17] SealedWithAKiss: how did you install Win 7 ? [08:17] OR permissions setting or whatever [08:17] Hello, I'm trying to convert my screensaver to xscreensaver as opposed to the gnome one, and I have gotten everything working but the "lock screen" command, where would i edit what that button does? [08:17] so how do i reinstall the driver for the internet on ubuntu [08:17] rigved, I extracted an ISO and ran the installation from inside Windows by executing the autorun file. [08:18] SealedWithAKiss: burn that iso to a cd. this same iso (cd) has the repair option [08:18] has anyone got any idears [08:18] :) [08:18] rigved, I don't have a CD, but obtaining one shouldn't be any trouble. So once it removes GRUB I go back into the LiveCD and then...? [08:19] nukeslion: Isn't there the option at the bottom "Lock Screen After" [_] minutes [08:19] rigved see pm [08:19] SealedWithAKiss, do you still have a link to the pastebin for the bootscript? [08:19] nukeslion: By the way, you can still use the Xscreensavers in GNOME Screensaver (I do) [08:20] Starminn, that does work, but i mean the Lock Screen button on the top right when you press the power button [08:20] is there gonna be Ubuntu OS for mobile devices? [08:20] like android or ios [08:20] how do i reinstall the internet driver on ubuntu [08:21] SealedWithAKiss: then use the same restore grub mothod - sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda --recheck. then run sudo update-grub in the ubuntu on the hdd [08:21] xorxorxor: They've got a tablet one but to my knowledge no phones have been released yet (officially). It'll come eventually though I'd say. We've already got it on car stereos. [08:21] whaatt? ubuntu for car stereos? [08:21] SealedWithAKiss, Secrets: sorry got to go. [08:22] SealedWithAKiss: i have outlined the whole process for you. all the best! [08:22] whats the command to reinstall the internet driver [08:22] xorxorxor: Yeah, one sec. I'll find the link.

You also have both grub legacy and grub2 mixed [08:29] neil: crash how? what happens, error-messages?

[10:12] why does unetbootin not give the option to format the drive before an install? [10:12] gage_bw: GNOME is the default, but for lightweight stuff you've got Xubuntu (Xcfe) and Lubuntu (Lxde).

[11:31] i remember there was some dpkg-reconfigure command with some options, but I can't seem to get it working [11:31] depesz: « sudo Xorg -confgure :1 » [11:31] erUSUL: that will create the xorg.conf ? why :1 ? [11:32] depesz: to make xorg use another display not the current one; it will fail. [11:32] s/will/would/ [11:32] erUSUL: current? i don't have x running. [11:33] depesz: then you can drop the :1 [11:33] is there a way of finding out the development path for different releases? ie. how can i find out if 10.04 LTS will upgrade php to 5.3.3? [11:33] ae0000: it wont [11:33] !latest [11:33] 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. [11:34] erUSUL: didn't help. created xorg.conf.new, but it doesn't start x window with it :( [11:34] depesz: you have to copy it to /etc/X11/ [11:34] depesz: the file has to be called /etc/X11/xorg.conf [11:35] depesz: that path, that file name [11:35] erUSUL: or I xan X -config ..., but it still doesn't work. [11:35] depesz: by default it creates it in your home folder or root's [11:35] erUSUL: it wont upgrade to php5.3.3? or there is no path? [11:35] anyway - it created very complex xorg.conf, but the one that ubuntu usually has - very small, < 200 bytes. [11:35] ae0000: in a release only bug and security fixes are patched into packages. there are no version bumps [11:35] depesz: don't worry about the differences [11:36] ikonia: ? but it doesn't start. [11:36] !backports > ae0000 [11:36] ae0000, please see my private message [11:36] ikonia: i tried also dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg, but it doesn't create xorg.conf :( [11:36] depesz: because you've not put it in the correct place with the correct name [11:37] depesz: I've told you where to create the file [11:37] ikonia: i did. [11:37] ikonia: i tried both ways [11:37] which way [11:37] depesz: where is the file now and what is it's name [11:38] ikonia: the way "Xorg -configure" suggested (X -config /home/depesz/xorg.conf.new), and then your way - copied to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and tried to start X [11:38] erUSUL: OH. ok. thanks :) [11:38] ae0000: no problem [11:38] depesz: ok, have you modified the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to match your machine's config ? [11:38] anyone used iw before?? [11:39] anurupr: iw ? [11:39] ikonia: no. i ran Xorg -configure, and it made the .conf file [11:39] depesz: ok, then that is default, you need to modify it to meet your machines needs [11:39] ikonia: from quick look inside it looks more or less ok. [11:39] iw is a tool which is supposed to replace iwconfig [11:39] when i connect with my G3 using ppp firefox and pidgin wont recognize a connection; firefox will stay offline mode and pidgin is waiting for connection; how could i fix this? [11:39] using iw you can create multiple interfaces [11:39] ikonia: "default"? seems pretty strange default - with 2 graphics cards. [11:40] 3G* [11:40] depesz: you just said it looks fine [11:40] depesz: read the config file, delete what you don't need, configure what you do need [11:40] ikonia: it looks fine for my config. [11:40] miss some packages what is the commande to auto install the muissing packages ? thx [11:40] ikonia: it looks strange if you'd assume it's "default" [11:41] Backup your conf file next time [11:41] depesz: ok, pastebin the config file [11:41] ikonia: http://privatepaste.com/f5ac139990 [11:41] sagaci: was that to me?

[11:46] depesz: sorry, I was away for a moment [11:47] depesz: so you have two video cards, and intel and an nvidia ? [11:47] ikonia: yes. [11:47] i'm a first-timer on linux and just installed ubuntu. it's great!!! [11:48] depesz: my first way of looking at it would be to configure xorg to start just one card/one screen, then do the same for the other, make sure they are both working and you have a sane ocnfig [11:48] config [11:48] ramcar, thanks - we know :) [11:48] ikonia: there is only one screen. and the logs seem to suggest than neither of the drivers work :( [11:49] ikonia: alternatively - is there any console based way to install in manageable way nvidia binary drivers? [11:49] depesz: why are you using 2 cards if you have 1 screen ? [11:49] i do have a question though. it's my first time to use open office and i was wondering how i could add a background video that would play throughout the presentation? maybe someone here could point me in the right direction? :) [11:49] depesz: how do you expect that to work ? [11:49] ikonia: 2 cards? because it's already inside the machine. [11:49] depesz: ok, so don't configure the one you don't want to use, or disable it [11:50] depesz: only configure the one you want to use [11:50] depesz: check your bios, you may have to disable the integrated card. [11:50] depesz: your screen has a "to the right of" that suggests two monitors [11:50] depesz: maybe --> sudo jockey-text === joerg is now known as Guest63602 [11:50] ok. and how can I install nvidia binary drivers? because as far as I udnerstand nv doesn't work anyway. [11:50] depesz: look in your serverlayout section, it says "to the right of" [11:50] erUSUL: thanks [11:50] ciao [11:50] depesz: first things first, disable the inetl one [11:50] intel [11:51] !list [11:51] This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic.

[12:49] yes i know what cli is lol [12:49] separate with ; [12:49] fidyduce: what is a "dev"? [12:49] so like /dev/sda;/dev/sdb? [12:49] fidyduce: what exactly are you trying to execute? [12:50] no [12:50] nevermind i dont think i know what you are asking [12:50] jrib: i am not trying to be a pain, but there are things i have to be vague about... is there a RFC i can read or some basic beginner cli doc's i can look over? [12:50] fidyduce: to do what? ls -l /dev/sd[abc][1234567] [12:50] i know some stuff in cli just enough to get my self into trouble sadly :( [12:51] fidyduce: well the answer to your question is it depends on the command you are executing, thus my question [12:51] i could probably help if i knew what you are trying to achieve [12:51] jrib: ok, ever hear of a tool called UPT or work with it? [12:51] nope [12:52] then there you have it lol [12:52] fidyduce: no [12:52] seems nobody outside of my profession knows of it [12:52] what is your profession [12:52] IT for Army [12:52] heh [12:52] 25 what [12:52] or civilian [12:52] Bravo [12:52] pffft [12:52] lol [12:53] im a N doing a B job [12:53] you a uniform [12:53] on rear D [12:53] lol [12:53] well i am purging with UPT [12:53] fidyduce: read its man page/documentation. Worst case scenario, use a for loop if the program doesn't support passing multiple arguments and doing what you want it to do [12:53] ok getting closer...lol [12:54] what dod computer is on unix?

[12:55] why does gedit bitch and whine so much when I try to open files from an nfs mount? it cannot determine the character encoding used thus refuses to open it. yet it only allows me to pick utf8 aside from auto detect (which it fails at). but I think the document is iso8859 [12:55] !language [12:55] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.

[12:58] jrib: because gnome has a ton of files open in ~, and suddenly ~ starts to point somewhere else === haseha is now known as arch [12:58] dvrvm: why "suddenly"? Can't you mount it before the user logs in? [12:59] dvrvm: if you're changing home after the user is logged in to gnome, then yes, I wouldn't do that [12:59] #ubuntu-makassar [12:59] jrib: no. sshfs is not always mounted (since internet access is not a given), and the user has to mount it by hand (using a script) from gnome [13:00] dvrvm: don't overwrite a user's home directory on the fly. really bad idea :-) [13:00] Hello [13:00] ok, that's what i suspected. any alternative ideas? [13:01] dvrvm: why does the user want to mount the other home? Just to access some files? [13:01] dvrvm: depends. why does the sshfs volume need to be mounted at /home/$USER anyway? [13:01] hi [13:01] it doesn't NEED to. but people want to access their data as if they were in the office [13:02] like, using thunderbird etc, having the same openoffice settings... [13:02] dvrvm: sure, but the volume can be mounted anywhere. i don't see the problem. [13:02] dvrvm: ah, i see. [13:03] sipior: yes, currently i mount it to /net_home, but it's not ideal [13:03] jrib: that talks about legacy ubuntu versions. not current? also, localeconf does not exist in my repos [13:03] ethanol: one sec [13:04] Could someone tell me how to access ubuntu 'registry' [13:04] i have a Dell N5010 notebook with an ATI5470 vga card running Ubuntu 10.10, when i connect to a windows workstation with tsclient my mouse cursor is messed up, if i use an external monitor the cursor is fine, even the messed up cursor looks fine on screenshot :) any idea? [13:04] chrispin: what do you mean by "ubuntu 'registry'"? Do you mean gconf? or? === ratita is now known as obiwan_ [13:04] dvrvm: couple options. you can place the user's home directory under version control (git or the like), which they can then clone elsewhere. or just use nfs to begin with. [13:04] Hi all! I'm on 10.04, trying to compile a C program that wants the Boehm garbage collector. I've got as far as apt-get install libgc-dev which seemed to work, what option should I then give to GCC for linking the program? [13:05] ethanol: it seems to speak about localepurge first, does that not do what you want? [13:05] no, I want to add more locales [13:05] hi people, i dont understand what's going on, but when i pess f keys in alsamixer i dont get the expected results. it says press f2 to whatever, i press it and it exits to the terminal screen. same with all f keys [13:05] cause gedit only seems to know about utf8, I want iso support too [13:05] sipior: i don't like nfs over wan. nfs is what we use in the office. sshfs is the alternative for remote accessing your data from somewhere else. [13:05] bah the cursor is messed up in vmware virtual machine too [13:06] dvrvm: use whatever you like. [13:06] I tried gcc ... -llibgc, and ... -llibgc-dev, and neither of those got any where [13:06] jrib: something similar to regedit of windows [13:06] ethanol: did you run localepurge and select the locales you want? [13:06] chrispin: why, what do you want to accomplish? [13:06] sipior: ok, then your idea would be to automate the version control? [13:07] jrib: yes, but that only purges other files. does not seem to create/add anything [13:07] dvrvm: it's one possibility. i don't do it much myself, but know of a few folks who swear by it. [13:07] dvrvm: or swear at it, i forget. [13:07] jrib: I want to remove some terminal client access licence keys [13:08] hi, what utility would allow me to print a file into a pdf with 2 pages per page? [13:08] kinda like pdf creator does [13:08] dvrvm: depending on the technical facility of your users, it might be more trouble than it's worth.

[13:19] maninthemiddle: good question [13:20] chrispin: you can try gconf-editor.

[13:21] chrispin: if it's not in gconf, then it's in a dot file [13:22] sipior: thanks, i'll look into pdfnup..

[15:03] erUSUL: in reality it's not a more it's a command that I put in the pipe in order to grep it :-) [15:03] Hi guys, I need some help here. I just bought a second monitor, but I cannot get multi-display to work :( I can get CLONED display to work, but that's pointless. :'( [15:03] copy that [15:04] ZeroZiat: so "install side by side" tells you it wants to resize windows?

[15:04] i'm just a new bay [15:04] boy [15:04] citrus23455: well I'd say that's not a successful install if your /etc/apt/sources.list is empty [15:04] why do I have both /etc/init/vsftpd.conf and /etc/init.d/vsftpd ? [15:04] jrib: Yeah, I read you have to use the manual partition thing now. [15:04] am have done, thanks for all [15:04] PIkabarre: what command? so "$var" is an argument for the command or what? tell me *exactly* what are you doing [15:04] ceo, u r welcome [15:04] so what is the execute command for ubuntu terminal [15:04] :) [15:05] fidyduce: gnome-terminal [15:05] gribouille: because init is for upstart and init.d is for sysv-init scripts. If a program has an upstart-style init script in init/, then it also gets one in init.d (for legacy reasons I suppose) take a close look at it and see that it just points to the init one [15:05] jpds: yes the gnome-terminal what is the exec command [15:05] vish: yeah thats me [15:05] i don't understand the instructions of the registration preocess [15:05] ZeroZiat: k, I would just do that then [15:05] any one pls explain it [15:05] fidyduce, Alt+F2 and type gnome-terminal [15:05] fidyduce: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal [15:05] Guest84712: #freenode can help you with that [15:06] i don't get the commands [15:06] fidyduce, what do you want to execute? [15:06] jrib: That's where the plot thickens, I've got no idea how to partition this. [15:06] Guest84712: /join #freenode [15:06] blue_pearl: ctrl+alt+t does that too :) [15:06] Ok erUSUL : I source the script to have access to a variable ; then I do my command (pkcs11-tool) which prints data on stdout, that's why I use a pipe to grep these data (by doing command | grep -c "$var") [15:06] ZeroZiat: just create a swap and a / (ext4) in the free space. If you want a separate /home, you can do that too [15:06] rumpe1: usually in any other form of linux i use ./ but ubuntu does not seem to work here [15:07] fidyduce, well... depends on what and where you want to execute [15:07] PIkabarre: well it should work tm run the script with « bash -x » to see what is actually run [15:07] fidyduce: oh yes, that is the case. I think they thought you wanted to know what the command to actually run the terminal was. [15:07] PIkabarre: you can move to #bash te get better help too [15:07] yeah i know right lol [15:07] ActionParsnip, ya :) [15:08] martain i was going to say something about that but just let it go [15:08] http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b215/Ziat/Screenshot.png [15:08] jrib: i've installed it badly i bet. however. my intel graphics is the problem here. [15:08] alternate cd = bad idea for a n00b [15:08] with upstart, how can I disable a servcie so that it is not started in a given runlevel ? [15:09] hm, jrib, and what size should everything be? I heard swaps have to be twice as big as your ram, how can I check how big it is? I believe it is 2 gigs but I'm not sure. [15:09] jrib: what's the best ubuntu for the intel The INTEL R 82810 GRAPHICS [15:09] citrus23455: do the install again. If you have a blank sources.list, something is wrong and it's likely a sign that other things are broken. If you verified the integrity of the cd, then something else went wrong [15:09] ZeroZiat: 1xRAM for 2Gb or more, if you have less than 2Gb RAM then use double [15:09] citrus23455: perhaps this would help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=733298 [15:10] jrib: drat [15:10] gribouille: what service? [15:10] err, explain that clearer, please, ActionParsnip [15:10] jrib: need to pee brb [15:10] jrib, vsftpd [15:10] erUSUL: thx.. bash -x on the file I source show var=$'content-of-var\r' [15:10] Should the partitions be primary or logical? [15:10] gribouille: you can read /etc/init/vsftpd.conf Sometimes maintainers include a way to disable the service. If not, just add "never" as a starting condition and then it won't start at boot [15:11] ZeroZiat: if you have 2Gb RAM or more, use the same amount of swap space as you have RAM. If you have less than 2Gb RAM then the swap space should be double the size of your RAM [15:11] ZeroZiat: primary or logical is moot [15:11] PIkabarre: probably grep does not like \r ? why are you using $'' ? [15:11] primary is best [15:11] I have an nfs share mounted through my fstab, and whenever the connection is physically interrupted, the mount point becomes unusable until I manually umount and mount it again. Is there a way to make it auto-remount somehow? [15:11] ok [15:12] jrib, isn't there comm command like chkconfig to manage services ? [15:12] compdoc: why is it best?

[15:12] erUSUL: $'' is the output of "bash -x file-to-source" [15:12] ircdon, you have to install openssh-server [15:12] well, for a swap partititon, its what the installer creates by default - primary [15:12] where can I get tutorial?

Related: !scp (Secure CoPy) [15:13] !tz [15:14] compdoc: default doesn't mean ANYTHING, if you have too many partitions you will need an extended partition with logical partitions so you can have more partition, primary partitions aren't any better than logical ones in any way [15:14] I need to checkout both !ssh & !sshd ? [15:14] Okay, apparently I have 1885Mbs of ram, according to 'free -m', how big should my swap be? [15:14] when I pull the power from my laptop the screen dims. where do I disable that? [15:14] ircdon: just see the second message Ubottu sent to you [15:14] CarlFK, Power manager [15:15] ZeroZiat: it depends on what apps and how much memory they need. if you don't know, go with the defaults. [15:15] ty [15:15] ActionParsnip, logical or extended partitions will work for swap? [15:15] carlfk, the installer doesn't autoadjust to what I already have cause they removed the 'use largest continous free space' option. [15:15] ircdon: on the server system, you just need to install openssh-server and you can then connect with putty. If you install and run xming on the windows side and use the -X switch on putty you can run graphical apps on the server and they will appear on the client but be running on the server === Guest84712 is now known as phantom [15:15] so now, us, amateurs have to sign up to the 'manual partition' army [15:15] PIkabarre: a var declaration should just appear as « + var=value » [15:15] hi all [15:16] well played ubuntu, btw.

[16:15] hi, im trying to set mouse gestures to open expo with 3 finger swipe like the mac, how can I do this?? I have xdotool installed already just not sure how to use it to do what I want. Any explainations would be helpful [16:16] s/$\?/./ === mike_ is now known as Guest46587 [16:16] Pici, this machine is on long-term lucid [16:17] does anyone know anything about a .ICEAuthority file? I couldn't find much on google, but after i updated ubuntu about a month ago, i couldn't login on the gui any more [16:17] and it happened before (about an year ago) [16:17] each time i took the path of the windows n00b (reinstalled ubuntu :) [16:17] Anyone know why I don't have a wallpaper option in compizconfig? [16:17] rsvp: Okay, and thats latest version thats published in the lucid repos. [16:17] uu007: do commands ilke "sudo gedit" and "sudo nautilus" look familiar? [16:17] In the monitors menu is there not a way to default which screen is your primary? I've used my laptop w/ Ubuntu and an external monitor for months, but just a few seconds ago it decided my external monitor would be my primary. Now I cant make my laptop the primary... Intel integrated video card. [16:18] yes [16:18] uu007: that's why [16:18] uu007: sudo is NOT to be used with GUI apps like gedit and nautilus [16:18] ActionParsnip: thanks!! [16:18] uu007: use: gksudo gedit and gksudo nautilus and it WON'T happen [16:19] is there a way to limit login counts for one user at the same time? say, user1 can only login 5 in parallel? [16:19] ActionParsnip, output is "Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS" -- yeah, it's lucid [16:19] i've been reading the wrong tutorials :) [16:19] uu007: you didn't need a reinstall, you just needed to drop to root recovery mode and chown the file back to your user, thats all, one file [16:19] rsvp: ok cool, try a different server [16:19] is it safe to remove old linux kernel headers? eg. 2.6.35-22 [16:19] ruan: yes [16:20] it is also safe to remove older kernels [16:20] jatt: ok, but why doesn't that get done automatically? [16:20] how does one specify alternate repo locations? [16:20] ruan: if you aren't currently running it, yes [16:20] i did leave just two kernels and I could save lots of space [16:20] ah [16:20] rsvp: in software centre [16:20] anyone know how to enable 3 finger swipe like for the mac in ubuntu 10.10, I have two finger scroll enabled and working fine, with no problems, just want swipe to show my expo screen [16:20] rsvp: sudo -i; sed -i s/'us.archive.ubuntu.com'/'mirror.anl.gov'/ /etc/apt/sources.list; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade [16:21] ruan: no idea, but you are right with time older kernels get piled up [16:21] Hello everybody, where does chrome holds pdf cache? [16:21] Okay. I just checked into inx channel but no one answered my question. Since inx linux is based on ubuntu there is no harm in asking. Might anyone know how to install it on hard disk? [16:21] imho an older kernel should be automatically deleted though [16:22] ruan: Until the latest one stops booting and you can't go back onto a working old one. [16:22] also does anyone know if aircrack-ng works in kernel 2.6.35-27 or if it gives the channel -1 error also, and any way to fix?? [16:22] well you should have at least one older version around in case the current version breaks [16:22] so, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic [16:22] automatically removing things, what could possibly go wrong? [16:23] * uu007 off home, thansk for the help ActionParsnip ! [16:23] jpds: you can still boot a livecd and install an older kernel from there though [16:23] i believe [16:24] ruan: Well that's not useful if you don't have a LiveCD and no other computer. [16:24] jpds, thanks for the command line version -- instead of substitution, can one simply append to that file -- or how to "if fail, then alt" ie "||" in bash terms. [16:24] jpds: well, in my case i do have a livecd [16:24] ActionParsnip: changed repository to Main Server and it seems dl speed is fine. Thanks [16:24] Out of no where my primary monitor switched from my laptop to my external monitor. In the monitor preferences, I have no option to select which is primary. How can I flop it back so my laptop is the main one? [16:24] animefan: simple stuff kiddo :) [16:25] ruan: But a liveCD is not the same as running your system with a different kernel-version. I'd hate it if Ubuntu would deinstall all previous kernels automatically, === herton_lunch is now known as herton [16:28] is there any chance of a corrupted download with update manager or does it verify the downloads? === Norbert is now known as Fritz === Fritz is now known as LarsT === LarsT is now known as LarsTorben [16:29] ruan: it shouold MD5 test them [16:29] as far as I am aware [16:29] is Empathy any good? It keeps loading access to the IM service but never connects. [16:29] empathy good [16:29] ok, i'll ctrlF the documentation for md5 [16:29] is [16:31] Out of no where, my dual screen setup with my laptop and intel video card now wants to use my external monitor as my primary instead of my laptop. I've used this setup for months, zero issues. Now in the middle of working, it switched. How can I switch them back? The monitors menu in preferences doesn't give me the option? [16:32] hey guys, how would i install braid from braid-linux-build2.run.bin [16:33] fullmetallica, 1. do you really need this? 2. if yes, make it executable 3. execute it [16:33] fullmetallica, and before anything else... read the installation instructions [16:34] fullmetallica: chmod +x braid-linux-build2.run.bin; sudo ./braid-linux-build2.run.bin I assume your pwd is the same as the file and that it needs sudo to start the binary) [16:35] rumpe1, what do you mean do i really need it? [16:35] is there a way to execute bin files in the gui(nautilus) [16:35] ruan: right click? [16:35] switch repo server to mit.edu -- but the update problem seems systematic -- CRITICAL: Could not connect to archive.canonical.com:80 (91.189.88.33). - connect (110: Connection timed out) [16:35] should i use ubuntu or debian ? [16:35] fullmetallica, well... it seems to be no officially supported package... there are always some risks involved [16:36] LarsTorben: depends on what you like? [16:36] ruan: mark them as executable with right click then double click it [16:36] ActionParsnip: i mean, bin files wont execute in gui [16:36] it opens with virus scanner [16:36] aeon-ltd: when i ask what is better ? [16:37] ruan: then you will need to select "execute in terminal" [16:37] rumpe1, i got it from the huble indie bundle, heard of it? [16:37] Can someone suggest some popular and frequently updated software for linux that would allow mixing/editing video + audio? [16:37] how do i execute in terminal? [16:37] humble* [16:37] LarsTorben: neither and both [16:37] ruan: its an option when you double click the file [16:37] ActionParsnip: it's not in the list, only open with virus scanner and open with other app [16:38] 3 questions: 1. conflicting login screens? when the login screen appears, after i enter my username, the login screen disappears as though xinit is reinitializing. 2. whenever the screensaver kicks in and i attempt to login from the screensaver i get an onscreen keyboard (i have uninstalled accessibility options or at least i think i did 3. how can i get epiphany to login to my accounts automatically? [16:38] ruan: is the file marked as executable? [16:38] ActionParsnip: yes [16:38] ActionParsnip: i can execute it from terminal, but not gui [16:38] ruan: not sure then,i always run them in terminal, its much easier [16:39] question [16:39] i use an green harddrive [16:39] does it limit system ? [16:39] ActionParsnip: for me a double click is faster than opening a terminal > typing cd path/path then ./executable [16:39] hey does anyone know how to tell if you have the b43 driver installed as well? === alex37 is now known as lexxx [16:40] i believe i installed it first and sta over it on accident. now i can't figure out how to check/remove [16:40] LarsTorben: what is a green harddrive? [16:40] 5400 upm [16:40] ruan: maybe but look at the hardship its causing you right now, which is easier, running what you know or asking in an irc channel for help and waiting for answers which may or may not work [16:40] instead of 7200 upms [16:41] ActionParsnip: i dont mind using my spare time to gain experience [16:41] hi [16:41] ruan: i guess [16:41] LarsTorben: no, its supposedly more 'efficient' but research shows that its savings are minimal at best, in reality if you spent a few seconds less waiting they could add up to minutes then you can shutdown earlier thus saving more electricity than using a green hdd [16:41] i'm running ubuntu on virutalbox, can't get the screen size toincrease [16:41] LarsTorben: in linux most applications are loaded into ram when running [16:41] okay i HAVE an non green [16:42] but i change only if it is needed [16:42] what do you think [16:42] dbgster: did you install guest additions? [16:42] i installed guest addtions, i ran the app that was in the CD [16:42] dbgster: did you install guest additions? [16:42] LarsTorben: the WD green drives run at variable rpm from 5400 to 7200 [16:42] LarsTorben: from personal experience i'd say use ubuntu, the channel in irc is bigger - more support and its a kind of evolved/branded version of debian [16:42] there is a CD icon on my desktop VBOXADDITIOSN [16:42] I click it [16:43] dbgster: you need to run the script on the CD which relates to your guest OS [16:44] do I need to un-archive the CD icon? or is it uznipped? [16:44] is there an irc channel for firestarter? [16:44] Has anybody added Ubuntu to a Windows domain using Likewise Open? I'm curious about these Kerberos servers realm questions it's asking.

[17:01] anyone used spark to chat? [17:01] i just adduser Pici [17:01] serard: you can't just drop scripts in /etc/init.d/, they need a certain structure (see /etc/init.d/skeleton). Even better write an upstart script instead (/msg ubottu !upstart). But what I suggested above doesn't involve any of that. I am telling you to just put your command in /etc/rc.local (before the exit line). This will work but is not very clean, thus why I recommend you look for the "standard" [17:01] way to start redmine at boot [17:01] reading today's news our city council is using spark to do internal chatting [17:01] which is sued due to some nice comments there, hehe [17:01] azertyy: Then you can either look at /etc/passwd or getent passwd [17:02] Pici, i see what i did wrong, the directory i sent all the files to didnt exist, so it created the new folder on my desktop as a .mp3 file [17:02] xxiao: yes, I use spark [17:02] last just only show last records rumpe1 [17:02] Pici, can i make this into a folder and hope like heck the files are still there?

[18:41] can anyone recommend a piece of software for network performance testing that *ISNT* iperf [18:41] well you want a desktop :) [18:41] since iperf seems to be broken :P [18:41] okay is it normal that when I type "sudo grub" there appears "grub: command not found" O_o [18:41] vic, i do: sudo apt-cache search to search and: sudo apt-get install to install [18:42] vic it's probably easiest if you are not too far in to start from scratch - get the full desktop cd /download and run through the graphical installer [18:42] i done it this way because my friend installed ubuntu on my lappy and i like it and now i want to try on my pc and work it out for myself but i dont know anything about it lol [18:42] yeah, or install a new xubuntu. [18:42] hey, is there any way to hide menu icons, like back in Edgy you had the Interface tab in appearance settings and you could set it? [18:43] vic on the install - there you can tick a box to get all the extras like mp3 playback and flash installed right from the go [18:43] Anyone know about a good way to monitor the cpu, memory, and processes from one ubuntu computer to another ? [18:43] i tried doing a minimal ubuntu install and you definitely learn a lot [18:44] except for vnc and ssh that is [18:44] would be nice with a remote monitor [18:44] Hello, I have some problems when trying to install ubuntu 10.10 from a usb. it does not recognize my partitions [18:45] yh thats the plan quaisi - i want to learn so i started from scratch [18:45] i dont mind if i fuk it up coz i have it on my lappy [18:45] vic - if you type in sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment it should get a desktop installed [18:45] and the only option is to use entire disk. I installed ubuntu before without this problem but uninstalled it now I come across this problem [18:45] vic_ If you want to make it as hard for yourself as possible, get something like slackware.

[18:47] vic_ Try what I'm doing, start at the normal level and work out from there. [18:47] AAA_awright, metacity --replace removes compiz [18:47] I.e: Normal install, then explore. [18:47] normal level? is gnome not the normal level then? [18:48] vic_, That's what I mean. [18:48] Hello, I have some problems when trying to install ubuntu 10.10 from a usb. it does not recognize my partitions and the only option is to use entire disk. I installed ubuntu before without this problem but uninstalled it now I come across this problem [18:48] what's the best way to create a bootable live version, I see the tools for desktop, not server [18:48] fowl I don't know - I'm not ignorning you! :) [18:48] vic_, Use the normal install. [18:48] ohh thank you then :\ [18:48] iam installing gnome now once thats done i will install restricted extras? is this correct ? [18:49] i just got the cd from a friend he gave it to me and said good luck lol [18:49] fowl can you run in live mode and use gparted to see if it recognizes them [18:49] hey guys [18:49] how do I do this? :S [18:49] it recognized them before but I uninstalled it [18:49] robin0800: That's not much better now I don't have any application bar at all [18:49] I was wondering if there's anyway I could save System Monitor (specially Resources) information to a FILE. [18:50] and now want to install again and it doesnt recognize anything [18:50] i am trying to install ubuntu into unpartitioned free space on my laptop using the option install into unpartitioned space [18:50] fowl when it says install or try choose try# [18:50] will ubuntu automatically configure GRUB to identify windows? [18:50] And no title bar on windows, the window contents are entirely chrome-less... [18:50] then after that? [18:50] then i think it's system administration choose gparted partition editor just to see if it recognizes the parttitions [18:50] how can I have command history in ssh connection?

[18:51] there was advanced and there was erase entire disk [18:52] ksinkar: If you chose that then it would give you the option to shrink Windows/expand Ubuntu and it would do all partitioning for you. I'm pretty sure you don't want to do that since you already have spaced planned out for it. [18:53] did advanced have anything useful fowl? [18:53] nope [18:53] it had the table and the entire disk to partition [18:53] it is really annoying :( [18:54] do you have more than 1 hdd? [18:54] Starminn: exactly, you have understood my problem [18:54] is there a driver for integrated broadcom wireless cards? b43 maybe? [18:54] bastidrazor: I meant history like pressing up arrow key and cicle last commands [18:54] Hedgehog456: there is; you have to install the firmware === zz_PhilMather is now known as PhilMather [18:54] !find b43 [18:54] Found: b43-fwcutter, firmware-b43-installer, firmware-b43-lpphy-installer, firmware-b43legacy-installer [18:55] ok thanks [18:55] Hedgehog456: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [18:55] Starminn: so should i proceed with the third option and trust that while the bootloader is installing it will detect windows and make the appropriate changes? [18:55] will do when i install ubuntu in a sec [18:55] ksinkar: So if there is an option for installing to free space, I would choose that. [18:55] NCS_One: in gnome-terminal pressing the up arrow should give you that [18:55] How can I restrict a user on the system from making outbound network connections from all ports except 80? [18:55] Well, the first time I installed ubuntu it recognized my windows and split it so I could get ubuntu. the i uninstalled it and it became free space and I fixed my windows from the grub loader, then i decided I wanted it back so I made my free space ntfs and then back to free space (this was between time) [18:55] Hedgehog456: you have to be connected to internet by other means ( cable ) while doing so [18:55] ksinkar: Yes. Your other option is to do it manually which will likely give you the same result as if you did it automatically to free space. [18:55] and then... my error [18:56] erUSUL: i have an ethernet line [18:56] ok === Guest325 is now known as fredmen [18:57] bastidrazor: I haven't [18:57] hojo!

For example, I want to stop them from connecting SSL websites. [18:59] erUSUL: on all ports except 80* [18:59] is /ect/modules the right place to add modules? I was expecting to add a new file for each, like in /etc/modprobe.d/ [19:00] ok fowl I have some suggestions [19:00] first back everything up [19:00] ok [19:00] tsrk: so is except connections *to* port 80 not *from* port 80? [19:01] using gparted then create a partition manually whilst booting from live environment (usb/cd) - it's not that hard and there's plenty of tutorials on google [19:01] perhaps format to ext3 or ext4 [19:01] tsrk: and it has to be only one user? [19:01] but would this cut into [19:01] other partitions? [19:02] yes which is why good to back up [19:02] aaa [19:02] have 1 partittion split into 2 [19:02] kien sois [19:02] or do you wubi?

[19:03] quaisi: WUBI is generally not advised because it runs slower than an actual install, and is dependent on Windows. So when you boot into Ubuntu, you're also loading pieces of Windows.

Go to System->Administration->GParted. Use it [19:05] erUSUL: theyre trying from all kinds of ports as well [19:05] quaisi: Sort of, yes, but it creates headaches when you try to actually install Ubuntu. [19:05] erUSUL: i think ill try fail2ban [19:06] bobslaede: that's normal [19:06] I have a folder containing tones of sparse data files. Is there a way to get this files be transparently zipped before they get written into this directory and unzipped when they are read from disk? (This option is available in Windows) [19:06] <[TK]D-Fender> Maynel: Setting up your partition is part of the INSTALLATION process [19:06] bobslaede: i am talking about chagin the port your sshd listens on [19:06] alright [19:06] quiasi: If you want to use WUBI you can, that's fine, but I and most other people here will advise against it, especially since you've already partitioned out your HDD for Ubuntu anyway. [19:06] bobslaede: script kiddies try por 22 [19:06] <[TK]D-Fender> Maynel: So pick "install" [19:06] erUSUL: any suggestions, or just any other port than 22 [19:06] I'm using the development Ubuntu, the side application bar isn't dissappearing anymore, anyone know what's going on? [19:06] bobslaede: i use 2222 ..its easy to remember [19:06] this is regarding fowl's query right starminn? [19:07] bastidrazor: alright, ill do that as well as fail2ban [19:07] Starminn do you have a suggestion about my problem? [19:07] bobslaede: changing the port won't make it more secure but keeps your logs clenaer [19:07] bobslaede: whatever you like [19:07] bobslaede: i agree, both methods are a sure way to slow if not stop attacks.

[19:22] Thats not my problem starminn, it just shows the whole thing [19:22] Just installed sysstat. Can I use this package to record CPU, Memory and other relevant information for the specified processes instead of whole computer. [19:22] Hedgehog456: when you unmount a partition you can't access it's data [19:22] will ubuntu remount it? [19:23] Hedgehog456: yes [19:23] Hedgehog456: as long as the filesystem type is supported [19:23] fowl: So the installer is still not seeing the partitions?

[19:31] It is not a problem with the cd starminn it must be something else because the first time it did for sure detect it, should i format my 2nd partition ntfs? fat32? free space? [19:32] Hedgehog456: that entirely depends on whether you want to keep it, in my experience its always been a waste of space because i have windows install disks if i want to install windows [19:32] maco,ThinkT510,Starminn: alright guys thanks!! [19:32] Hedgehog456: is that partition used to make recovery cd/dvds? or is it actually used to recover the machines windows install? [19:32] fowl: Well the problem is that it's not seeing *anything*, correct? So theoretically, regardless of what you format it to, it won't see it.

Why did my window controls (close/maximize/etc) suddenly move to the right side of the windows?!? I like them on the left!

[19:42] maco: good deal man keep it up with the help u guys r doing a great job [19:42] (wo)man [19:42] thanks erUSUL [19:43] mbeierl: Go to CompizConfig and make sure that "Window Decorator" is on the default (just click on the default button thingy) [19:43] erUSUL: the current version in the repository is 260.19.06, and using that version, if I run a 3D application for more than 10-20 minutes, the driver causes X to segfault. But 260.19.12 and up fixes this, however when I try to install the latest driver from nvidia, ubuntu stops me and only wants me to use their outdated package. Ideas? [19:43] erUSUL: i don't have hal [19:43] it complains that i don't have hal [19:43] shall i just install hal?

[19:45] mbeierl: This is the steps I took just a moment ago to get it to work. I went o CompizConfig->Window Decorator-> and reset the "Command" field to the default, I typed in "metacity --replace" in a Terminal, then went to System->Preferences->Appearance and chose the default "Ambience." [19:45] mbeierl: Try those, and let us know how it goes. [19:46] I just added Pidgin PPA to my repos so that I'm not stuck with a really old version of Pidgin. Any other common software that I could be running a year old version of as well? [19:47] is ubuntu better than windows for irc chatting, writing, web browsing, occasional programming? [19:47] Starmin: thank you! The combo of switching from compiz to metacity followed by kicking the appearance preferences did the trick. [19:47] erUSUL: yes, installing hal did it. now it works. thank you [19:48] Hedgehog456: you can do all that, it depends on what you're comfortable with [19:48] faliva: no problem [19:48] hi does exist any option to enable the input password of the login visible [19:48] hi! [19:48] Is it a problem if i haven' t creat swap partition ?? [19:48] ThinkT510: it looks better [19:48] mbeierl: For your reference, whenever you use Compiz, it replaces Metacity which is the default window title bar handler. So, if it happens again, just make sure compiz knows to leave the windows to Metacity and butt out of its business! ;) [19:49] raphael: not at all.. you could create a swap file if you needed swap [19:49] hedgehog456: you can save time if u get used to Ubuntu [19:49] raphael: you can create a swapfile; or if you have the space create the wap partition now [19:49] Hedgehog456: i hope you enjoy using ubuntu, i certainly prefer linux over windows [19:49] bstarek: ok, installing now [19:49] mbeierl: Glad it worked for you, though. Hooray! :) Have fun with the buttons where you like 'em. [19:49] ThinkT510: thanks [19:49] f I don't create , I will have some problem ? (sorry for my bad english ) [19:49] Starminn: the odd thing is that it just happened without warning today. Been using ubuntu and compiz since the beryl days and never had this happen. But thanks for the tip! [19:49] hedgehog456: keep both windows and ubuntu for a start [19:50] raphael: you won't be able to hibernate, other than that there should be no issues. [19:50] bstarek: i have no disk space. windows hogs it all. and i never want to willingly see a windows desktop again. [19:50] raphael: swap partitions are optional [19:50] Thank's a lot ^^ [19:50] mbeierl: Yes, I'm not sure why it happened either, and when I initially tried using themes where the buttons were on the left it wouldn't work for me either so you're not alone.

I think it is worth trying to figure out why your install is the way it is [20:32] javahorn: I'm sorry, I'm counting myself as a learner yet. I don't know what could be causing your problems.

[20:41] ChogyDan: when I do a apt-cache showpkg it says that py 2.6 is in deps [20:42] oanf, did you hit the shift imm on hitting start and hold it down? [20:42] nit-wit: I had to hold it for a while, but yes that worked [20:43] oanf: your user should have a password, you can set one by booting to root recovery mode and running: passwd foo (hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then set root) [20:43] I'm in grub recovery now :) [20:43] I was confused because it asked for esc [20:43] in the guides I read [20:43] oanf, are you at the grub menu?

Any question about the nuances of VirtualBox should be asked in #vbox but it should go smoothly. [20:59] Vitu: I can understand you quite well. [20:59] Vitu: You can boot from the wubi root.disk file in vmware with some fiddling. [20:59] xev sniffs the XF86AudioNext action but banshee does not react [20:59] if i run "xte 'key XF86AudioNext'" directly, it works [21:00] Vitu: The easiest way to do it would be to use the wubi root.disk file as a hard drive image and boot using a Super GRUB2 Disk iso as a virtual CDROM.

[22:09] chalcedony: sort of. That command didn't resolve everything, but it definitely helped. ActionParsnip left before I managed to say anything, but I think I might be able to figure it out from here.

I helped you set up your Ubuntu but I know nothing about video connections, etc. Ask somebody else. [22:15] i know how to dual boot ive done it before but for some reason this time the grub bootloader isnt showing up and its acting like i havnt even installed it and im im installing 10.10 [22:15] chalcedony: the key step was that reset command.

You need to jump the track entirely [23:21] i have a question... the link is about how to add delete create partition .i knew them nice. i dont understand giving mount point to a created new partition.when i create a second partition and giving mount point "/home" to this partition makes /home folder as my D: drive like in windows OS.what r the similar folders as same in windows? ntldr ,boot.ini,ntdetect>grub (in a "boot" folder in ubuntu) Documents and Settings > /home, /home/username c:\windows [23:21] > root ?

[23:22] my host say that they provide 1 GB [23:22] crimsonmane: if it sleeps from inactivity, then you could write a simpke script to ping an address somewhere every few minutes [23:22] speedtest.com [23:22] how to check that ? [23:22] i dont understand giving mount point to a created new partition.when i create a second partition and giving mount point "/home" to this partition makes /home folder as my D: drive like in windows OS.what r the similar folders as same in windows? ntldr ,boot.ini,ntdetect>grub (in a "boot" folder in ubuntu) Documents and Settings > /home, /home/username c:\windows >root ?

[23:22] raido: the way i discovered this problem was downloading large files (WoW, torrents, Pandora) [23:22] [TK]D-Fender, actually yes, but decided to go every two versions, so Im wating for 11.04 to come out [23:22] crimsonmane: it craps out on large xfers??? [23:22] i neither asked that question to my host [TK]D-Fender [23:22] aazert: speedtest.net i think [23:23] I have un/rar from rarlab, but I can't get it to work. I moved it to /bin/, but it gets different errors depending on if you use sudo. [23:23] no [23:23] hi everyone [23:23] is someone available to help me with something?

Where do they claim it? [23:23] for me it should be possible [23:23] it's x chat [23:23] heh. [23:23] fx0: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[23:25] mike23pizzo, ok now close synaptic and open a terminal compiz --replace ccp & [23:25] raido: you are correct sir (ma'am?) WUSB devices have a history of fail with linux. but i had it long before i had linux. AND to top that off, i have a micro board and my sound card occupies the one PCI slot :) man i sure know how to pick my hardware! [23:25] !ask | fx0 [23:25] fx0: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) [23:25] thank you [23:25] <[TK]D-Fender> mman: Unity, changes in xorg, etc... some pretty big stuff. [23:25] i am trying to boot a ubuntu from a usb [23:25] flash drive [23:25] this is what it written : Connexion 100Mbits ou 1 Gbits/sec [23:25] coz_, Ok done [23:25] w/e [23:25] and everything is fine [23:25] till [23:25] <[TK]D-Fender> mman: Not sure how easy it will be if you don't like it and want to upgrade ... but to 1 step below current [23:26] mike23pizzo, did you get the same error? [23:26] i get a error [23:26] crimsonmane: even another USB dongle may be worth a try [23:26] all on one line, fx0 [23:26] can you install software on to a copy of ubuntu on usb? [23:26] No [23:26] during the instalation [23:26] raido: forgive my ignorance. what is a dongle? [23:26] in a ISO [23:26] coz_, No it says starting gtk-window-detector [23:26] u can [23:26] !ask | fx0 [23:26] <[TK]D-Fender> fx0: Please stop using as punctuation :) [23:26] mike23pizzo, ok hit alt+f2 and type in metacity --replace [23:26] heh... [23:26] Does anyone print envelopes successfully? If yes, which software do you use? [23:26] anyway how do i resize the screen in ubuntu [23:26] ? [23:27] mike23pizzo, no go to system/preferences/appearance [23:27] fx0 = troll. stated error, then asked how to resize. [23:27] coz_, ok I'm there [23:27] mike23pizzo, in the visual effects tab click "Extra" [23:27] crimsonmane: loosly termed for anything that sticks out from a USB port. [23:27] nvm that error , that was a new question [23:27] [TK]D-Fender, guess im upgrading to 10.10 and then 11.04 [23:27] [TK]D-Fender, but why did ubuntu decided to make huge changes? [23:27] raido: thank you :) [23:28] how do i resize to 800x600 in ubuntu ? [23:28] mike23pizzo, now under system/preferences open compizconfig settings manager otherwise known as ccsm [23:28] well my question is : is there any command the bandwith speed [23:28] ? [23:28] hi everybody!!! [23:28] --help [23:28] upstream & downstream [23:28] anyone play FoFix?? [23:28] coz_, ok I'm there...I got my wobbly windows back! [23:28] I did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop on server 10.10, i got a mouse and a GUI style terminal, but no menus or desktop show up, how do i get the whole GUI working? [23:28] fx0: System > Appearance [23:28] mike23pizzo, there you go [23:28] <[TK]D-Fender> mman: Many different reasons. part of the xorg and underly bits are performance based, etc. Unity helps them merge their netbook & desktop to a "unified" experience and create a common motif, etc.... [23:28] coz_, Thank you so much. I would have NEVER been able to do that on my own [23:28] mike23pizzo, you are free and clear to m ake settings changes so have fun :) [23:28] Francis: why not just reinstall and use the desktop OS, as thats what you actually want..... [23:28] I have problems to put new songs [23:29] <[TK]D-Fender> mman: And many other points I'm not fully aware of [23:29] coz_, I wish I could give you something in return. Thank you so so so so so much! [23:29] mike23pizzo, a thanks is fine [23:29] desktop os isn't a choice its on a vps [23:29] Francis: I see [23:29] [TK]D-Fender, hope its for good :D [23:29] crimsonmane>: there is nothing there about resizing to 800x600 [23:29] mike23pizzo, before you attempt to remove applications I suggest coming here and discussing it first :) [23:29] aazert, check ubuntu-server channel [23:29] <[TK]D-Fender> mman: It will annoy some, excite others, etc. It'll be divisive to a point, but there is potential for all projects to come out ahead with it. We'll all jsut have to sit back and see [23:29] hi. is it possible to sync cd covers for a iphone/pod music collection with the help of any musicplayer? [23:29] coz_, thank you, thank you, a million times thank you :) [23:29] Anybody print envelopes... ever? [23:29] Francis: you can create a bootable USB, and during the creation choose to save your changes to the device [23:30] coz_, I will hahah thanks [23:30] Francis: press ALT+f2 and run: nautilus do you see things happening? [23:30] crimsonmane: there is nothing there about resizing to 800x600 [23:30] no one? [23:30] <[TK]D-Fender> [18:28] well my question is : is there any command the bandwith speed <- any kind of transfer that reports back a speed. Like FTP [23:31] on battery power tab, i miss the option of "Dim display when idle", though help on it shows for 10.10. i am facing http://www.voria.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4409 [23:31] If I could print an envelope... [23:31] [TK]D-Fender, thanks for ur help [23:32] mike23pizzo, the other alternative for learning is to go ahead and experiment with the system and if it screws up .. make notes,, and reinstall :) [23:32] aazert: there is command line bandwidth check. are you just trying to make sure you're getting the speed you subscribed to? if so, speedtest.net or something. i don't recall the command, i just know i did it before... like almost a year ago [23:32] oh, yeah, but wanna mesure speed in a other way [TK]D-Fender [23:32] then my envelope would be printed. [23:32] mike23pizzo, other wise...dont hesitate to come here and ask questions,,,its why we are here [23:32] [TK]D-Fender, aaa by the way, how do u become a ubuntu member? [23:32] <[TK]D-Fender> mman: np, hope your upgrade goes well and things work as expected. I myself intend to install 11.04 on a separate system to test first [23:32] KUN: used to [23:32] and I wouldn't need to print the envelope any more... [23:32] hi ActionParsnip [23:32] <[TK]D-Fender> mman: No clue on "member ship". I'm really new here myself and not the most experienced... [23:33] until I actually needed to print another envelope. [23:33] ActionParsnip: I have problems to play new songs [23:33] KUN: did you put them in the songs folder? [23:33] which is why I am here, in IRC land, asking how to print an envelope [23:34] [TK]D-Fender, haha thanks any way my friend ;) [23:34] ActionParsnip: yeah!!! but when I search the folder , Fofix show me empty the folder of the song [23:34] Imagine what kind of world this would be if nobody could print an envelope. [23:34] pretty sad, when you think about it. [23:34] ActionParsnip: and folder have .ogg and .ini files [23:35] ActionParsnip: It could be possible a lack of packet?? i.e. python-pyaudio? [23:36] I guess when a Microsoft using friend asks about moving to Linux, I'll have to say, "I'd think twice if you ever have to print an evelope." [23:36] KUN: gimme a sec, let me drag up my backup [23:37] ActionParsnip: ok :) [23:37] ActionParsnip: keep googling [23:37] <[TK]D-Fender> [18:34] Imagine what kind of world this would be if nobody could print an envelope. <- save a tree :) [23:38] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: As for how.. ever consider .... I dunno ... a word processor? [23:38] 1 Question : You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server. === How do i restart the X server ? [23:38] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: You know Ubuntu has always shipped with one, and has dozens of others at your disposal [23:38] fx0: sudo service gdm restart [23:39] [TK]D-Fender: That occurred to me. S'why I spent hours attempting in OpenOffice. But it screws it all up. [23:39] KUN: does each song have its own folder with: guitar.ogg, label.png, notes.mid and song.ini [23:39] [TK]D-Fender: Abiword doesn't have envelope print function [23:39] i can't get any sound on my speakers [23:40] ActionParsnip: just a sec to check it [23:40] hey guys, can anyone tell me how to search for a file in the current directory im in and not the whole filesystem? [23:40] Trying to install [23:40] shawnboy: in OpenOffice word processor, Insert>Envelope [23:41] got it. nm [23:41] Kels_: tried it. many times. WYSIWYG looks right, but gets all messed up at printer [23:41] I've figured out how to view my desktop from afar with Preferences > Remote Sharing, but how do I view another desktop? [23:41] ActionParsnip: checked it and yes, they are complet:.ogg, .midi, .ini... [23:41] KUN: you may need to symlink guitar.ogg to song.ogg or vice versa [23:42] #join grails [23:42] do i need all this users on my ubuntu ? http://pastebin.com/28JTexWH can i delete some of then? which can i delete? [23:43] ActionParsnip: have both files but I don't understand you :( sorry newbie with Ubuntu === lala is now known as insub === insub is now known as lala [23:43] Trying to install ubuntu netbook maverick and can't go further the "preparing to install ubuntu" window. Any clue? [23:43] KUN: if both files exist there is no need for the symlink [23:43] bezao: you won't "need" all of them, but they won't do you any harm to have. [23:44] S2Do: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [23:44] ActionParsnip: ok... then...why can't play them??? [23:44] ActionParsnip: I read you need python-pyaudio packet but now is off [23:45] KUN: not sure dude, if its in there and you have the right files it should fly [23:45] Pumpkin- that doesnt allow any kind of vulnerability? [23:45] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: What else have you looked at? [23:45] ActionParsnip, I didn't , could you provide link to md5 file please? [23:45] ActionParsnip:yes... It should fly... [23:45] im having trouble mounting floppy disks [23:46] !md5 | S2Do [23:46] S2Do: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [23:46] [TK]D-Fender: software wise? all else I figured wouldn't print envelopes if OO and Abiword didn't. [23:46] fd0 is in my fstab but the drive is not detecting any media [23:46] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: perhaps you could also elaborate on "screws it all up" and also add what equipement you're using, etc [23:46] but it is working in windows [23:46] bezao: generally not. Check in /etc/shadow and you will see the accounts aren't things you can log into normally. [23:46] ActionParsnip: Have you FOF too?? [23:46] [TK]D-Fender: Appreciate your attention. Running Lucid. Dell Laser 1720 using Dell suggested generic PCL 6 driver in Ubuntu. [23:47] KUN: not sure dude, I always installed frets on fire from the repo then copied over my alarian mod over [23:47] [text is misaligned in every way, vertically, horizontally, and going in 180 deg wrong direction for what printer says should. [23:47] cyfu: slam in a disk ad ru: sudo mount /dev/fd0 [23:47] ru == run [23:48] [TK]D-Fender: response to you ^^^^ [23:48] ActionParsnip: good option [23:49] ActionParsnip: a question about FOF...I wasn't able to put new songs too in FOF, lways same error of permission..why?? [23:49] people still use floppy disks? o.o [23:49] [TK]D-Fender: I suspect part of prob is in printer properties (in OO) there isn't envelope available as choice in paper size, but it should be. [23:49] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/f/3526/p/19078079/19201065.aspx [23:49] yes they do [23:49] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: Seems that its screws up even on Windows. Looks like a lemon product [23:49] ActionParsnip: make sudo Nautilus, copy song folder and when I'm on play...error of permission :( [23:50] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: All of the same probelms as you've described [23:50] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: Dell = suck.... [23:50] KUN: don't use sudo with nautilus [23:50] [TK]D-Fender: only in printers ;) [23:51] <[TK]D-Fender> ActionParsnip: Servers = meh ... IBM :) [23:51] KUN: I would chmod and chown the folder so your user has full access [23:51] ActionParsnip: everybody in web tells you need to make sudo [23:52] [TK]D-Fender: dude, i've used both dell and ibm servers, drac is amazing! ibm servers suck in my experience, so much effort [23:52] ActionParsnip: chmod command and chown command??? interesting [23:53] <[TK]D-Fender> ActionParsnip: Roll of the dice with any I guess.... is it still cool to shit all over HP? ;) [23:53] KUN: yes and they are morons, i tell every one I see, use gksudo with GUI apps to get extra access. If you don't you will change the ownership of ~/.ICEauthority and you will have issues [23:53] Ubottu: md5 check matches. Any suggestion? How can I start the installation in textmode? [23:53] Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:53] Can somebody help me? === andrea is now known as Guest863 [23:53] [TK]D-Fender: indeed :), I was managing Dell servers flawlessly in Florida from the UK. Now I work in the same building and I have to do so much more leg work with the damn things [23:54] I need Ubuntu drivers for my laptop's camera/mic. [23:54] Alexander_: install and run cheese, do you see yourself [23:54] ? [23:54] [TK]D-Fender: 2 observations re: that link: 1. Envelopes print flawlessly from XPx64 machine using Word 2003. 2. Sort of similar to thread you pasted, I can get env to print "acceptably" by exporting to PDF then printing from PDF software in Ubuntu. [23:54] Cheese? [23:54] !info cheese | Alexander_ [23:54] Alexander_: cheese (source: cheese): A tool to take pictures and videos from your webcam. In component main, is optional. Version 2.32.0-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 61 kB, installed size 260 kB === FiReSTaRT is now known as Guest73235 [23:55] Alexander_: yes, cheese [23:55] A [23:55] I already know that I need the drivers. [23:55] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: sounds like they aren perhaps not following specs too well... and their drive quality will vary, etc [23:55] [TK]D-Fender: From Evince, paper size in printer settings DOES show 10 envelope and will even let me define custom paper size. Neither so in OO. [23:55] Alexander_: then why did you question, if you know it? [23:55] ActionParsnip: md5 check matches. Any suggestion? How can I start installation in textmode? [23:55] Pidgin's webcam won't work. [23:55] ActionParsnip: take note about gksudo command ; ) and how have I use chmod command? [23:55] S2Do: use the alternate installer maybe [23:55] I need Ubuntu drivers for my laptop's camera/mic. [23:56] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: Also, LibreOffice is the new "black" [23:56] I need the drivers, where can I get them? [23:56] [TK]D-Fender: or OO is maybe fudging their printer module? [23:56] KUN: read samples online, you can give your user owner of the folders and data [23:56] Alexander: look up Jasper [23:56] LibreOffice? [23:56] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: Printing should be agnostic and left to CUPS [23:56] Alexander_: you dodnt answer my question [23:56] <[TK]D-Fender> shawnboy: But consider that it is a multi-platform issue.... [23:57] [TK]D-Fender: strange then, that it works (basically) from Evince but not OO. [23:57] Alexander_: does cheese show you a picture of yourself? [23:57] Jasper? [23:57] Let me check. [23:57] jasper is the backbone for webcams === F|ReSTaRT is now known as FiReSTaRT [23:57] ActionParsnip: ok dude!!! thanks for your help and info!! keep trying or will try FOF+alarian mod [23:57] so [23:58] [TK]D-Fender: I think I read somewhere that Fedora has no probs. So maybe it's just one of those things. Software planets must all be aligned. [23:58] where do I get jasper? [23:58] i remember getting it via command line... one sec [23:58] Hello all. I have a boot problem with the latest maverick kernel update. The pc hangs after running /scriots/init-bottom. I reinstalled upstart, initscripts, initramfs-tools (as chroot), etc but I'm still stuck at init-bottom. Any suggestions? [23:58] Alexander_: also can you use http://pastie.org and give the output of: lsusb Thanks [23:58] Is Logitech Webcam drivers compatible with Xubuntu? [23:59] Or Linux period. [23:59] [TK]D-Fender: LibreOffice... that the one I've heard of that sort of broke off from OpenOffice? [23:59] MarkB: depends on the chi pinside [23:59] ActionParsnip: What do you mean? [23:59] shawnboy: its an openoffice fork [23:59] ActionParsnip: should I avoid at this point, you think? (stability-wise?)
